FOREWORD A FTER the harvest, when the working season is over, the gleaners range through the stubble, retrieving the tiny parÂ ticles left by the toilers. So we, after our years at St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, are trying to pick up the fragments of half-forgotten, but fondly remembered, episodes. W e can glean only the smallest grains and store them away in these pages.

I 'H E dim, shadowy halls o f the re c to ry were w rapped in the peaceful hush o f n ight— the whispering old clock s o ftly chimed in the darkness, in the chapel

the red lig h t fro m the flickering san ctu ary lam p danced on the face o f the V irg in — here, calm , sm iling, a great m an slipped silently aw ay, stole aw ay p eacefu lly fro m a sleeping w orld. R everend P atric k M arley C ollins died on M arch fifth o f this year, and so brought to a close a life o f sacrifice, o f suffering, o f hum ble labor fo r C h rist and the souls o f men, a beau tifu l life — one guided chiefly b y the tw o gleaming stars o f sim plicity and ch arity. W e heard o f his death w ith a pang o f regret, fo r the gentle, so ftspoken, kind-eyed little priest had been a frien d to all o f us. N o longer shall we stop to ta lk to him and listen, and hear him h altin g ly tell us o f the Prep as he knew and loved it, both as a student and a teacher; no longer shall we see his kind smile, hear the quiet ripple o f his lo w resonant voice, nor see him w alkin g slo w ly along the corridors w ith his silver head bowed in prayer. S till we cannot grieve a t his going fo r the good priest was n ot afraid o f death, he longed fo r it. A n d when it came he m et it w ith open arms and eagerly embraced it; fo r him it was b u t a happy passing into the Paradise o f his Lord. P atrick C ollins was born in Jersey C ity on A u g u st 5, 18 6 4 .

He studied at Saint

P eter’s Prep and la ter at the College, fro m w hich he entered the Jesuit N o vitiate on A u g u st 14 , 18 8 4 . A ft e r ten years o f d rivin g application to stu d y and five years

o f teaching at H o ly Cross College, on June 2 7, 18 9 9 , he was ordained to the priest hood by C ardinal Gibbons. F ebruary 3, 19 0 2 , he took his final vow s, and then began his career as professor and later principal o f Saint P eter’s. He was not destined to shed his blood fo r C hrist, though gladly w ould he have done it, he was n ot destined to endure plagues, starvation, to rtu re and death in India o r fa r-o ff China, n or did he h u n t fo r souls in the wilds o f the Philippines. Father Collins spent the stren gth o f his life ’s blood toiling in his M aster’s vineyard at Saint P eter’s; he q u ietly conquered souls fo r C h rist in the peaceful garb o f his cassock, cast his lot in the classroom, in the confessional and in the squalid homes o f the p overty-stricken , and, instead o f preaching the doctrine o f C h rist in the swamps o f the jungle, he crushed the head o f the serpent on the paved streets o f a civilized c ity, where the w o rk o f the devil was even more in evidence. The host o f those who loved him stretches over h alf the state. The mere mention o f the name "Father C ollins” w ould bring a lig h t to the eyes and a smile to the lips o f strapping young steel-w orkers, high up on massive girders in the heart o f the city, cause a w ave o f happy reflections to sweep over grey-haired old men in their arm chairs at the corner o f the fire, w ould lead the busy housewife to stop a while and tell o f his w on d erfu l traits, and to toddling little babes it m eant a so ft voice, kind hands, and frien d ly eyes beneath shining silver hair. A n d now Father Collins is dead. For nearly fif t y years he fo u gh t in the arm y o f C h rist, fo r h a lf a cen tu ry he fe lt the th rill and exultation o f v ic to ry and the sm art and sting o f apparent defeat; he revelled in the din and strife o f battle and hum bly perform ed menial tasks in tim e o f peace; weathered raging storms and tw istin g h u rri canes, y e t was con ten t to toil along w ith o u t com plaint when his life seemed drab and colorless. Summoned by the erect figure o f his Captain he has now laid dow n his arms to go and receive the first rew ard o f noble acts— a rew ard not fo r extraordinary deeds perform ed in an ordinary w ay, but ordinary deeds perform ed in an extraordinary w ay. Father Collins, in you r present happiness we rejoice w ith you.

CLASS HISTORY FEBRUARY GRADUATES 'FIE summit! The hazards of our high school career are ended. The success of our climb reminds us of the difficulties experienced in attaining the goal, and now we stand at the peak of our efforts, reflecting w ith pleasure upon the days we spent at the "Prep.” Long shall we remember that morning of February 5, 1930, when the class started its ascent of St. Peter’s Mount. Mr. Caslin and Mr. Griffin were appointed guides to lead us up the steep and difficult passes of Latin and Mathematics. In a few months we were breath ing the ancestral spirit of St. Peter’s and were thrilled w ith the ambi tion of scaling her heights. A t this first ledge we not only gained distinction in the classics, but likewise emblazoned our names on the annals of St. Peter’s. We acquired a conspicuous niche in every school activity. Our testi monial brigade was headed by Maurice Migliore, Herbert Beach, and Daniel Costello. The varsity football and basketball teams enrolled m any of our classmen such as "Scotty” McAleer, "Bill” Breunig, "T im ” Stapleton, and "T erry” McGovern. Still climbing, we started our Junior year with Mr. Cantillon, S.J., leading us up the jagged side of Latin, French and English. Coming upon the dangerous crevices of Physics experiments, we were guided across them successfully by the acute and diligent pedagogy of Mr.

M artino. The Greek "Scavengers” no longer feared the bold adven tures of the "Ten Thousand” nor the fate of the "T rojans” under the fru itfu l tutorship of Father Schm itt. Our Junior year was scattered w ith m any dangers and hardships but the summit was one year off. Oh, for the role of Seniors, a glorious clim b! Under the guiding hand of M r. O’M ara, S.J., we met the wandering Aeneas and listened in ten tly to the bold tongue of Cicero. Along this climb to the peak m any of our classmates have hewn out their names to glitter on the mountainside and in the annals of our Alm a M ater as State Prep grid champions of 1934. W e were not only proficient in athletics, but possessed real talent in Dram atics and D ebating; witness Lord Birten and Phipps, who also mounted the rostrum on m any occasions. The echoes of these stalw art orators, Frank Greene and Pat M cGrath, mingled w ith many other class debaters have held the undivided attention of large audiences. A h! the ascent has been made— the M ount St. Peter’s has been scaled and conquered. W ith diploma in hand, the recognition of our four years’ study, we gaze from the lo fty sum m it; w ith stout hearts and the confidence of youth we peer into the open skies, eager to seek other peaks for our future endeavors. Yes, we seem to stand at the top of the world in this brief moment of trium ph. Let us pause to express our delight in the firm friend ships that have linked us to one another in this trek up the m ountain side. W e hesitate in an almost ethereal silence because of the lack of words to express adequately our gratitude to the teachers whose know l edge, advice and devotion have guided us to the heights of graduation.

CLASS H ISTO RY 4-A G R A D U A T IO N night, it is our last act as students of St. Peter’s! ^ W hat memories it calls to mind of that staunch arm y that has preceded us, the alumni of St. Peter’s! C ontrary to precedent we are going to start our history w ith fourthyear. In the fall of nineteen hundred and thirty-three, as proud seniors and rulers of the school, we were forty-tw o strong. Throughout the year 4-A maintained an excellent record in all the activities of the school: Sodality, Debating, Dramatics, Football, Basketball, and Base ball. Each month our constant march to the stage attested our scholastic standing. Now as we look about the classroom we recall that some faces are missing from the ranks of those who enlisted in nineteen hundred and thirty. You w ill discover them among the number of those who studied science. W hat joyful memories that first day recalls to us! The noisy crowd was silenced by the shrill shriek of a silver whistle and awed by the authoritative bearing of a diminutive priest. The "Freshy” grew accustomed to his short crisp commands. You can easily imagine the dumbfounded looks with which we greeted our teachers, as they endeavored to instruct us in Latin and Algebra. May these happy memories never leave our minds! As "freshies,” we remember those disputes we used to have with the "seniors” when they thought they could rule us, and tried to pilfer

our handballs. The pitfalls of Latin, the H istory of Rome and Greece, Christmas, and then Spring fever— all had passed too quickly. In September we returned to meet that three-headed monster "GREEK” and to be parted from our scientific-minded mates. More dignified and respected, we now formed the foundations of firm friendships that w ill last through the years. As the months slipped by we gave vent to our feelings as rooters of the Football and Basketball teams. The Province exams were soon upon us, but we disposed of them w ith ease and passed into third year in a blaze of glory. Here we encountered Geometry, French and Spanish under those incomparable teachers Mr. Guterl, Mr. O’Sullivan and Mr. Cullen. In the company of modest Cicero, we passed our third milestone. That year we translated w ithin hearing of the melodious bells of the Greek Church. Now as we leave St. Peter’s after four years of joy and happiness there is but one regret—that we are not starting over again. Once more we would wish to sing songs and to listen to the stories in Mr. T urb ett’s "JU G ,” and to hear again the humorous sayings of Mr. O’Sullivan, yes, wish to shudder and recoil at the derision of Father Schm itt as he said, "Y ou’re a scatter-brain.” "See, you don’t learn.” W ould that we could turn back the hands of time so that we could reenact these and other memorable events. But now, as we stand on the brink of the world, cultured, yes—but "freshies” again—we wish to give credit to our learned body of teach ers who have striven so nobly for our benefit. Knowing that God w ill reward them a hundred-fold, we cast off, bearing w ith us into our future the example and teaching of the best instructors in the world.

CLASS 4-B HISTORY '“TH E good ship "St. Peter” glides gently into the harbor of commencement, her ’34 voyage ended. We embarked on a memor able autumn morn in 1930, and now we suddenly realize that our ship is moored at the last port for us. True, there is an unavoidable touch of pride, a sense of satisfaction in our achievement, but never theless, it is only now that we can fu lly comprehend the fact that we have spent four of the happiest years of our lives here at St. Peter’s. Therefore it is with the mingled emotions of joy and regret that we revert to the memories of our stay aboard the "St. Peter.” They say that in times of great danger, a man’s entire life is mentally reviewed in one fleeting second. So now as we stand on the verge of graduation, at the end of our voyage, all the little incidents, the joys, the sorrows, of those four years return to us in a swift-moving pano rama. We see ourselves a timid group of freshmen, strangers in a strange land, wondering at the dignity of the upper classmen. We see the gradual wearing off of this awe and the growth of the carefree, happy nature so characteristic of all freshmen. In this light vein, marred only by occasional storms in the form of Province Exams, our first and second years passed sw iftly. That is a regrettable habit of all good things. In the Spring of 1932, baseball was renewed after two years of abandonment, and our class responded vigorously. Thus we passed the halfw ay mark of our High School course.

The following Fall we gathered as Juniors, and w ith trepidation invaded the treacherous seas of Cicero, of Geometry, and of Physics. However, the skill of our professors so simplified these subjects that we took the m id-year exams in stride and kept up the pace through the second term. Once more we faced the storm y straits of the Province Exams, but we sailed in so heartily as to do our full share in earning for St. Peter’s the highest general average in the Province, at the same tim e w inning for ourselves the right to the title of "Seniors.” Thus, w ith lo fty condescension, slightly enlarged hatbands and the loss of a few vest-buttons, we opened the logbook for the final stretch of our four-year voyage. Now, indeed, we were on top of the world! So m uch so, in fact that it took a little time and some persuasion to settle down to the gruelling studies of Fourth Year. However, w ith the able assistance of our teachers we have once more surmounted the m id-year exams and stand confident of our ability to repeat this suc cess in June. And now the ship sails slowly into her pier, the gangplank is hauled ashore, and we prepare to leave forever these unforgettable halls of our youth. But, though our hearts are saddened at parting, this regret serves only to strengthen the resolve that we shall go forth and prove ourselves w orthy of the lo fty standards of St. Peter’s. To our instruc tors therefore, we extend our heartfelt thanks, to the undergraduates our best wishes, and to each other, “Farewell.”

Latin, Greek, French or phys ical force m ay bowl "M ike” over for the moment, but he bounded up immediately. Yes "M ike” w ill succeed, because his ir repressible spirit w ill never admit defeat.

OUR DETECTIVE THRILLER 7\ S ALL good m ystery stories must have a butler, our butler is Mr. Fitzgerald. An old banker enters the FREE Pubic Library. As he walks through the building one can hear the tapping of his KANE. In the street a group of children sing the words "Keep the Kettle BOYLAN.” N ear by a W elfare Island refugee recites "H um pty D um pty sat on a W A LSH .” Back at the library the aged banker asks the CAFFREY-looking clerk where he can find books about SAVAGE LYONS. She fails to reply in a LUCID manner, but says something about the weather getting CLEARY. She m erely takes another HALPIN of raisin clusters and shows a GOLDEN smile. In a GREENE rage the man strides into the book-rows to look for himself. He espies a book on a lower shelf, and mutters half aloud "How w ill I ever get that book?” Suddenly some GUI-NAN the next room, M cC A R T H Y by name, shouts "O’-NEILL down and take it.” The old gent does JES-SO and secures the book. As the banker opens the book a shot rings out, he groans and falls to the floor. Immediately a MR. FISCHER seizes the man, M cCA RTH Y , who had spoken to the victim , and together the two of them raise CAIN. Someone ran down the street and soon the law was in charge. Sergeant W ALLACE then started his questioning. The first one he grilled was FISCHER, who declared that he had heard a shot and spied M cCA RTH Y throwing a pistol out of the window, and then saw the old man lying on the floor. A t this point the GRIFFIN-like, bloodthirsty crowd was heard to scream, "LYN CH him! Call the M AYER.” The sergeant shouted, ’’O’GRADY, hold back the mob.” Just then the library clerk walked G RA CE-fully over and said, "W hat happened? Was the old gent stricken w ith the FALSEY?” A t this, Mr. TOOHEY, the head Librarian, said, "Never mind what happened, Miss O’REILLY, pay MOR-TENSON to your work.” Finally McALEER, the burly inspector, scowled and roared, "You’re always BREUNIG m y supper with your murders. W hy does the chief make Mc-GOVERN these cases anyhow?” "I hope this case doesn’t make CU-SICK, Inspector” pipes up McNAM ARA. "W ell, let’s question this here M cCA RTH Y ,” growls McALEER. On shifting his gaze to the right he saw Officer FAHY playing tag with Miss O’REILLY. "Here you two” he cried, "quit your LARKIN.” "Okay, Captain, but remember she’s MA-HONEY.” "Now, M cCA RTH Y ,” shouts the voice of authority, "w hy did you kill this man? Where did you throw the gun? Answer, yes or no, and don’t CLY-DE me.”

"W ell,” stuttered M cC A R T H Y , "I didn’t kill anbyody, not even m y m other-in-law ; besides I’m not m arried; besides she is dead. And I didn’t throw any gun aw ay; it was m y pipe. Somebody put a fire cracker into it and when I went to light it, it exploded, so I threw it aw ay.” O’DONNELL, a subordinate, sidles over and starts to examine the body. A ll of a sudden he lets out a shriek. "O h! m y uncle, the corpse isn’t a corpse any more.” "O f course not,” says the late, late Banker. "Then, w hat happened?” cried all. "W ell, I’ll tell you,” he replied, " it was like this. I opened a book and at the same time a shot rang out and a bookworm bit me. U n nerved by these two shocks m y brain became muddled, and I slipped and lost m y balance. The next thing I found m yself on the floor, and I thought it was a good opportunity to gain some lost sleep. You see, I was at the BEACH last week and I missed m y siesta. T hat is all.” "T h at’s all, is it? ” cried McALEER. "I’ve a REU T-ER give you a W H ALEN . Look at all the taxpayers’ money you’ve wasted.” "Don’t let that w orry you, m y dear Inspector,” snickeringly replied the banker, "I’m the only one who pays taxes in this town. So, if any money is being waster, it’s T I-M O N Y .” A t this the Inspector stamped out, leaving Sergeant W ALLACE in charge. "Oh boy,” observed this w orthy, "didn’t you think the Inspector was going to have another of his FITZ-PA TRICK ?” "W ell,” replied the lib rary custodian, STAPLETON, "I didn’t KINK-EAD get over it so q uickly.” "I must say,” wheezed citizen O’LEARY, "that I didn’t think our police could solve cases EVER-S’ quick as this.” "N ow ,” spoke Sergeant W ALLACE, as he prepared to leave, "you, officer FAH Y, take M cC A R T H Y into custody, and then come back for Miss O’REILLY, if you w ant to W ALK -ER home.” "But, Sergeant,” cried M cC A R T H Y indignantly, "you can’t arrest me. Oh, say, I didn’t kill anyone, I only lit m y pipe and then . . .” "T h at’s just it,” replied the Sergeant, "you’re under arrest for smok ing in the L ibrary.” Author’s Note— (1) The banker’s name was SMITH. (2) If anyone wants to know where the butler comes in the answer is, the servant’s entrance.

C IN C E we have successfully surmounted the barrier of mid-term examinations without losing any of our cherished confreres, we now stand on the threshold of our Senior Year. That each of us shall complete his course and receive his diploma "summa cum laude” no one doubts. But pleasedo not imagine that we are a group of pale, thin, hollow-eyed bookworms. Quite thecontrary, vim, vigor, bub bling enthusiasm and spontaneous humor permeate the atmosphere of our classroom. Nor do we confine our talent and genius to scholastic achievement alone. Every extra-curricular activity mentionable— sodality, football, basketball, and dramatics—all can boast members from 4-M. Throughout our whole life we shall cherish the recollec tions of our course at St. Peter’s. We again pledge ourselves to uphold the glorious traditions of the Prep and, whether as students or alumni, never to forget our duty to God and man as Catholic gentlemen of St. Peter’s.

' I 'RAVERSIN G the dense mazes of learning, Class 3-A has been singularly blessed in its competent instructors. On our search for big game, in the form of Latin and Greek, we found examples of aptitude and diligence in study which, if followed, would make our journey easy. W e were also well represented on the athletic fields. "A ce” Moore was our boast on the gridiron and "Pete” Beronio ex celled in basketball. Our journey was hindered somewhat by the un derbrush of examinations. Yet, w ith leaders such as ours, we could not help but capture Cicero’s style of oratory and Xenophon’s account of the Anabasis, while the undergrowths of Geometry and French were soon dispelled beneath our continual onslaught. Strengthened in times of hard going by the ceaseless efforts of our instructors, it is a happy privilege to report that 3-A emerged from the Jungle of I,earning w ith countless scholastic prizes.

"P A R L Y last fall a group of anxious students reentered the portals of St. Peter’s to be remoulded into the class of 3-B. Before the w intry winds had come, we were well advanced in our Third Year course. The Orations of Cicero were quickly despatched; the trail of Xenophon was rapidly covered, and the other lengthy studies were soon completed. W e then encountered the mid-year examinations from which we emerged trium phantly, sustaining not a single loss in the conflict! Under the thorough training of our professors, we hope to prove equally efficient in June. However, we did not lim it our endeavors to the mastery of the classics; extra-curricular activities—football, basketball, debating and dramatics—all received the efforts of our eager classmates. In the Sodality, too, 3-B was numbered. As our Junior year at St. Peter’s draws to a close, we wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to our teachers and to extend our best wishes to the graduating class of 1934.

It proved a staunch craft, well suited to sail over the seas and buffet the billows of Latin, Physics, Geometry, English, German and French, and to ride out the storms of tests and examinations. W ith Mr. O’Sullivan as our staunch mainmast and the other teachers to aid him, we survived the storm of m id-year examinations. When we fell prey to the pirate ship of football competition, we were saved by the strong arms of Scatuorchio, Rooney and Garrahy. W ell do they deserve their letters from the Prep. In Basketball, Beach and Woods ably defended us, while in dramatics, Dugan and Kramer shone. When Xavier and Brooklyn Prep invaded our rostrum, Ger aghty replied. And now as we near our home port, we look back on our recent voyage w ith pride and satisfaction.

The first scene, laid in Rome, presents us with thirty-tw o actors, lendÂ ing ear to Ciceroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s egotistical denunciations of Catiline. The second scene offers English life, Roger de Coverley and the Spectator. A fter a short intermission, we view the courteous Spaniards in Madrid and jabbering Frenchmen in gay Paris. A revolving stage divides the scene, one portraying Grecian wars and the other offering action in the Physics Laboratory. The finale depicts the whole troupe united again to display the clever angular movements of Geometry. We can never forget the numerous jests that were interspersed throughout the play. And, as we leave, let us not forget to thank and congratulate the directors, our teachers, for their patient work in our behalf.

H T H all sails in the wind, the good ship "Pride of 2-A ” rode proudly and m ajestically from port last September, on the second lap of the "Freshman to Senior” voyage. The boat was well manned and well guided, and thanks to the skillful direction of the "men at the wheel,” we have risen safe and buoyant above all the swamping gales and waves of examinations, tests and what-not. The wildest and most hazardous regions we visited were surely Latium and Graecia, although we hauled in a few sails while passing Anglia, Civica and Algebra. Especially rough and perilous was the voyage around Cape M id-Year Examino, but responding to careful and adept training, every brave lad pulled through and we lost not a man. And now as we sail calm ly and grandly into the home port, we thank God for the fairest and happiest voyage ever.

QEPTEMBER is a month of joy and of sorrow, of joy because it reunites us with classmates whom we have not seen for almost three months, of sorrow because we realize that our vacation is over and because we visualize a year of hard study before us. When the class of 2-B was formed in September, it was found that two classes had been blended into the one great 2-B. These classes were the former 1-D and the former 1-C. We soon progressed quite well in the labyrinth of Greek symbols. Before long the class started to train for the inter-class basketball league. In this endeavor we were very successful and did not rest until we carried away the Junior Championship. W ith the second term the class started anew and because of the earnest work of one of its members, gathered the most ads for the P e t r e a n . Finally, we hope that we shall again be united for the remainder of our course at St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to uphold the traditional leadership of 2-B.

T CH RISTEN thee 2-C ,” or words to that effect was what brought together tw enty-eight eager boys from the despised Freshman year. The class was formed of former 1-A and 1-E boys, each of whom hoped, one day, to become a second Einstein. M utual friend ships sprang up among us and soon a harmonious spirit existed in 2-C. Now the class had its first interview w ith Caesar in Gaul, and also learned what causes apple trees to decay. Two lettermen, John Eng lish and Tom Barrett, represented us on the Champion V arsity squad. The m id-year examinations came and went but the class remained intact. Class 2-C made a good showing in the H oly Childhood Mite Box, contributing a large sum. Now the year is coming to a close but we hope to meet again in the Junior Year and go through the intricacies of Physics. So, as the day of departure nears, we say "A uf Wiedersehn” to our teachers who have labored so diligently for our success.

S THE warm days of late summer turned to the cooler flashes of autumn, a class entered the Hall of Science to carry forward the standards of second year. Our members assembled from almost every Freshman class of ’33. The ranks of the Second year Sodality have been increased through the membership of many students from 2-D. Even the rostrum shook w ith the efforts of our orators and we have high hopes for winning, a place in the inter-class debate tourney. To describe the scholarship among us, one has but to ask for the meaning of "His rebus confectis”—Caesar’s method of opening the report of a new campaign. W ith a swell of class pride we often followed the swift-footed "Joe” Woods as he was flitting around the court in the Junior Varsity games. A joyful and successful year is closing and the class wishes to express hearty thanks to our untiring and helpful teachers we have known.

A FTER a tryin g journey of one half year in first year, the Juggernaut of 2-M rolled into second year during the month of February. W ith the helping hand of Mr. Cullum , we plowed through the fields of Greek and Biology, American H istory and Advanced Mathematics. The Greek scholars received a slight honor which exalted them in glory above all the rest of the class. W e also sinned by our vain thoughts when we looked at the tin y first year men en tering the new class of 1-M, just as we entered—w ith fear and trepida tion—last year. Since we had made very fine appearances in our previous examinations, we look forward to June w ith a proper m ix ture of confidence and just a wee ounce (nay, only a gram ) of fear. But w hy should we give all the credit for our fine showing to our own selves? W e do not want you to forget our teachers who have labored so heartily in our behalf.

TvTO, THE troupe commanding our attention is not one of the Shakespearian actors, nor on the other hand is it the American Olympic team. It is none other than little 1-A. T im idly we entered the Prep ready to begin our studies within its portals. We were immediately given over to the guidance of Mr. Sinnott who has carried us through the mazes of Latin and Greek History. It was Mr. McVann, w itty and "berry punny,” who un ravelled to us the tricks of Algebra, while the w ar on "ain’t ” or "I done it ” was won by our conscientious English Teacher. During the year, under the splendid guidance of the teachers we have tried to attain leadership in our studies. The honor roll gives ample proof of our efforts. We extend our wishes for continued success to the class of ’34.

QEPTEMBER of ’33 brought a group of new Prepsters into room 1-B. A few of us had seen each other before, but when you have some ex a gris (B ayonne), others from Paterson, Caldwell, Roselle, Belleville and Essex Fells, not to forget little Harrison and N ewark, w hy we were bound to be strangers. Now we know some of our classmates as "Parvum Corpus”, "R ex” and "Kong,” "Sklarkin,” "Skham ill,” "Skretzm er” and "Skarr.” We possess still greater varieties as you see above. H alf of our class tried to limber up at Spring practice. Even though we have a "Squizz” or a "Squat” quite often we find time to be most loyal to Sodality, De bating, Dramatics and Sports. W hat more can we do? VIDEBIM US!!!

TT W AS immediately noticeable when 1-C convened that the most intelligent, handsomest and most stalwart youths of the land had been gathered together. A hurried glance (the more hurried the better) w ill convince even the most skeptical. In fact, Mr. Doyle, S.J., Mr. McVann and Mr. Rooney are often found wandering through lower Jersey C ity in puzzled amazement at their good fortune in being selected to make history w ith these prodigies. Class 1-C has heard vague rumors about an institution called "Ju g â&#x20AC;?, but to these perfect students it is only a rumor. Already scouts of all the better colleges have been scanning our doings. Debating, K. B. S., Sodality and Mission activities have found us most loyal. Our basketball team, green in its initial endeavors, fought its w ay to a tie for Freshman honors.

A N ARCHEOLOGIST started digging into the remains of an earth quake and volcanic eruption in the year 1960. He was digging in a region form erly used by a school called St. Peter’s Prep. He dug down to a classroom marked "26.” According to records class 1-M occupied it. A ll the boys were sitting at their desks as they were in 1934, their History books opened before them. He found on the desk occupied by John Conroy, the beadle, two slips of paper, on which appeared these names Chris Kau and McEvoy, who were to report to jug on Feb. 21, 1934. A lad named Dougan was found leaning against the wall. Wuensch seemed to be dreaming. The rest of the class were stolid fossils. One boy, a James somebody, was discovered standing, probably reciting at the time of the eruption. No doubt he would have missed. This discovery was given vast publicity by the Jersey Spyglass. [76]

SENIOR SODALITY "NTO EXPRESSION, no quotation, no symbol, more tru ly sums up the purpose of every Sodality in every Catholic school, than that which has been the byword of St. Peter’s Sodalities since their begin ning—"To Jesus through M ary.” And though the byword remains the same there is quite a difference between the first Prep Sodality and that of today. Where once there was a seed, today we behold a tree; where once there was a tin y chapel, today there is a small church; where once there were few, today there are many. Year after year that seed has blossomed into a beautiful tree. It has grown large and sturdy, spreading out its branches so as to attract all beneath its shade. It exists thus today, the proudest monarch among the many and strong rival activities, as it exerts its powerful influence over Christian youths; it exists thus today as a supreme tribute of love, admiration, and respect tc the Mother of God. The past year has been characterized by more activities than ever be fore in the history of the Sodality. Perhaps the most important of all was the spreading of Catholic Literature among the sodalists. Every week after the meeting each sodalist would contribute a small sum and as a result we were never without the monthly editions of Th e Q u een ’s W ork, M essen ger o f th e S a cred H eart, and Jesu it M issions, as well as the latest pamphlets by well known Jesuit authors. And now our pamphlet racks have sprung up throughout the school. One runs

across them in the Library, in the Lunch Room and in the Junior Building. Needless to say they have met w ith the approval of the entire student body. The spreading of Catholic literature has certain ly a strong foundation which we trust w ill rise into a m ighty edifice. Let us at this point pay tribute to those loyal and true sodalists who have carried our banner to foreign fields. W e refer to those unselfish members who gave their entire Sunday mornings to the teaching -of Catechism in various churches of the city. In them we have exempli fied the true followers of M ary, the men St. Peter’s are proud to call members of the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception. More and more has the Sodality branched out, taking upon itself every conceivable activity. Long has St. Peter’s been among the schools contributing to the support of the Jesuit Missions, and this year has been no exception. In addition to the annual raffle for mission funds which this year netted $500, and the Lenten Mite boxes which as usual were heavy w ith the voluntary offerings of the students, a new activity was organized—that of collecting stamps. Boxes are placed in all the buildings to receive the stamps which are forwarded to Woodstock to be converted into funds for needy missions. Behind this, as behind every movement, have been the sodalists w ith their whole-hearted support. But perhaps the predominant feature of mis sion activ ity was a talk which Rev. Thomas Feeney, S.J., delivered to the student body. W ith the aid of motion picture slides Fr. Feeney acquainted us w ith hitherto unknown facts of the splendid work being

done in pagan lands, assuring U3 that our prayers and assistance were not in vain. Although they are m any and extensive, these are but the external activities of the Sodality. One has only to visit the Student Chapel when the various Sodalities meet in order to realize the large number of members enrolled under the patronage of the Mother of God; to hear the hymns praising her, the prayers petitioning her, the talks ex tolling her—prudent counsels from the lips of such men as Fr. D wyer, our Principal, Fr. Shalloe of the College, Fr. Oates, the Director of our annual retreat, and Fr. Purcell and Mr. Cantillon, S.J., teachers in the Prep. To them m ay we express our thanks for the spiritual help and advice they have given us, for showing us how to reach God through M ary? M ay we also express our thanks to the officers who have directed the Sodality this year? W e say directed, advisedly, for Father McEvoy has inaugurated a new practise which we hope w ill continue—that of letting the officers manage the Sodality entirely, with him as a guide, a leader. The first officers to exercise this new privilege were, in the first term, James Reuter 4-A, Patrick McGrath 4-M, Robert Fischer 4-B, and Albert Griffin 4-A ,—Prefect, Vice-Prefect, Secretary and Treasurer respectively. In second term these officers yielded their places to Thomas Lucid 4-A , Robert Fischer 4-B, Gerald Fitzpatrick 4-B and John M iller 4-M. In addition to addressing the Sodality, the officers as well as other fourth year members gave talks in the yard throughout M ay as a part of the regular devotions. It is a system which we hope w ill continue. There is still another organization which, though not strictly con nected w ith the Sodality, has the whole-hearted support of the stu dents. This is the Order of the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament— the spiritual body of Christian soldiers who, of their own accord, go to Mass and H oly Communion every Friday morning. Fr. McEvoy is also in charge of this. Remarkable were the ever increasing num bers and a strictly religious attitude. This is the sum and substance of the sense of religious sacrifice which lives and glows in the heart of every Prepster. But there is one figure, one personality without whom much of this could never be a success; for, of what use is a flourishing and blooming tree when it lacks a caretaker? And what would our Sodality be without Fr. McEvoy, our guardian? It is due to the untiring efforts on his part that the Sodality has branched out into the present organization. To him then, to Fr. McEvoy, we offer our heartfelt thanks—thanks for his help, his wise counsels and his spiritual guidance as our beloved Student Counselor.

SECOND YEAR SODALITY TN SEPTEMBER when the call was given for members in the Intermediate Sodality, m any Sophomores quickly availed themselves of the chance to show a special devotion to the Blessed Mother. Throughout the first semester the w eekly talks were given by the Moderator, Mr. Ball, S.J. The Mass, H oly Communion, the Missions, Obedience and similar topics were treated. D uring the second semester Father D wyer, our Prefect of Studies, delivered an address during which he suggested that we model our lives on Christ’s life. Father Oates spoke on obedience. Father McEvoy, S.J., our Spiritual Counsellor, delivered an address on the Spirit of Lent. He outlined the purpose of Lent, the advantages of Lent and suggested little works of mortification. Discourses were also given by Father Shalloe, S.J., the Assistant Principal of St. Peter’s college, and Mr. Cantillon, S.J. The former compared our life to a game of football w ith Christ as our coach. The latter, at an appropriate time, recalled to us the life of St. Joseph. Chief of the Sodality activities is the teaching of Catechism each week to small girls and boys. Once a week on Monday afternoon a group of Sodalists go to Mount Carmel Parish to instruct these chil dren in the doctrines of their religion. N early one thousand are reg istered in these classes but not more than two hundred appear on any one afternoon.

Hence the work is very slow. As m any of them are too young to understand the m atter and nearly half of the children have not been to more than one meeting, only a few lessons have been covered. However the teachers are doing all they can about it and only the parents and the children themselves can hasten the progress. The sodalists who volunteered for this Catechism teaching were: Burke, Buckley, Brine, Donnelly, M urray, West, M cCarthy, Bosworth, O’N eill, Collins and McGrath. Another activity was the m aking of posters by the Sign Committee. This committee from time to time made posters which in some w ay tended to spread Catholic Ideals in the minds of the Students or helped the school officials. The sodalists also sent a Spiritual Bouquet to Father Risacher, S.J., a missionary, to help him carry on his work among the Philippine lepers in Culion. In the Lenten Mission Offerings, the Sophomores contributed gen erously, while every Friday morning a great number of Intermediate Sodalists attend the K. B. S. mass. Another activity which won the interest and co-operation of the.sodalists'was the*Mission raffle. From the beginning the practice of selling Catholic pamphlets was intro duced. By this the sodalists were enabled to keep' up w ith the doings of the National Sodality, learn the facts of the Missions and to be informed on Catholic doctrinal and moral subjects. It was done with this purpose also, that they might be able to distribute these magazines, to Catholic and non-Catholic, as well as to profit spiritually by them. The sodalists subscribed one hundred per cent to J esu it M issions, T h e Q u een ’s "Work, the S a cred H ea rt M essen ger and moreover pur chased m any of Father Lord’s Pamphlets. The officers, who led us for the first semester were: Eugene Ertle, Prefect; George Nevin, Vice-Prefect; Francis O’Neill, Secretary. A l though commended on a fru itfu l term in office these men were barred from re-election in February. The newly elected officers were Francis Soden, Prefect; Robert Sperry, Vice-Prefect; Frederick De Voursney, Secretary; Gerald T urley, Treasurer; Earl Bosworth, Sacristan, and Richard Stanley, Assistant Sacristan. The year closes, and we wish to express our gratitude both to Mr. Ball, S.J., our director, for his wise and enthusiastic guidance and to the members of the faculty, who were so kind to address us.

FIRST YEAR SODALITY HE Ju n io r Section o f the School Sodality began its w eekly meetings w ith a brave attendance. A ft e r settlin g dow n a b it to give all a chance to become acquainted, elections were held on O ctober 9, the results o f w hich were as fo llo w s: P refect, W illia m G riffin; A ss’t. P refect, Joh n B o tti; Secretary, V in cen t M cG rail; Sacristan, James K ennedy; O rganist, Joh n C arr. The class consultors w ere: Joseph Rodgers o f A ; Dallas L ow th er o f B; R obert M ahler o f C ; and M ark B arry o f D.

The F irst Y ea r sodalists took the cue fro m the senior sections w hen the welcome in n ovation o f selling C atholic pam phlets before m eeting tim e was introduced. The object o f this a c tiv ity was tw o -fo ld ; firstly , to fill the minds o f the individual sodalist and his fa m ily w ith the doings o f the N ational Sodality as delineated in The Queen’s Work.-, to p u t before them the fa c ts o f the C atholic Missions as fou n d in Jesuit Missions; to keep them inform ed on C atholic d octrinal and m oral subjects as n icely amplified in the Sacred H eart Messenger and F ather L ord’s booklets; sec ondly, to distribute these magazines, once read, to friends, C atholic and non-C atholic, th a t the tru th m ight be spread. This in n ovation seems to have been substantially successful, despite the flu ctu atin g demand fo r the literature. N ew h ym n cards, rath er sorely needed, and showing a greater v a rie ty o f M arian hym ns than the old cards m anifested, were distributed. These cards aided the mem bers to learn and appreciate some new hym ns in honor o f O u r Lady. Throughout the first semester, the M oderator gave the w eekly talks, the general tenor o f w hich was action. D evotion to O u r L ady’s rosary, love o f M ary, Queen o f the A ngels, M other o f M ankind, and sim ilar topics were treated. These talks were delivered w ith the idea n ot on ly o f stim ulating holy, noble thoughts in the minds o f the sodalists, b ut o f effecting in those minds a determ ination to translate into action, beneficial to their neighbor, the lo fty ideals thus roused.

One o f the activities suggested and stro n g ly sanctioned b y the M oderator was the visitation o f the sick children at St. Francis H ospital. O n an average o f tw ice a m onth, a little group o f sodalists, armed w ith copies o f the Messenger, prayer-pam phlets, h oly pictures and medals wended their w a y fro m the Prep to the hospital, there to spend a h alf-h o u r w ith the sick children. There is reason to believe th at a certain am ount o f solid good was accomplished by these trips, both in the souls o f the children visited, as w ell as in the spiritual advancem ent o f the visitors. The sodalists thus engaged, sacrified a good p art o f their afternoon recreation on their hardest school-day, and besides, contributed tow ard the g ifts donated. Some tw o weeks before the greatest feast-d ay in the year, a little drive was started to p u r chase a fe w Christm as baskets fo r these little patients. Due to the generosity o f Jo h n H ayden o f D the fu n d reached a sum th at enabled the sodalists to deposit at the children’s tree on Christm as Eve, three n icely decorated baskets o f fru it. The sodalists w ho stood out most prom inently in the first semester hospital w ork were: Brady, C a rr, D ieth, G riffin, H ayden, Leahy, M cA rdle, M cG rail, M cH ugh, Mahler, Rodgers, Scott, Stoebling and W ilson. In the elections previous to the second semester, M artin Leahy was elected consu ltor o f A replacing Rodgers w ho had been tran sferred to B. R obert Phillips was elected consultor o f C and W illia m S co tt o f B was made assistant organist. The other officials retained their respective positions by v irtu e o f re-election. A succession o f addresses h aving fo r their basic theme "The Ideal Sodalist” was inaugurated b y R everend F ather Principal at the first m eeting o f the second semes ter, when he spoke to the sodalists on the need o f trained m ental a c tiv ity in their Prep days, an a c tiv ity consecrated to and guarded by O u r Lady, so th at they m ight grow up to be staunch representatives o f their school, their cou n try, and their God. The ideals to w hich the students should aspire were clearly indicated in the examples o f great men w ho successfully aimed at those ideals. F ather John M cE voy, S .J., our devoted Student Counsellor urged the members to p u t into p ractical effect the resolutions they were m aking during Lent. Sacrifices th at m ight be made by boys o f their age were outlined in a concrete w ay and the sodalists were encouraged to im itate the heroic examples placed before them. A resolution not to com m it one m ortal sin during the whole fo u r years at the Prep was a Lenten resolution proposed b y Father Francis Shalloe, S.J., the A ssistant Dean o f the College, in his ta lk on the avoidance o f grave sin. Father Shalloe spoke in a w inning, confidential manner. His illustrations were chosen fo r the most part fro m the field o f sports. In his address on the sixth o f M arch, Father Y achel Brow n, S.J., Professor o f Classics at the College, amplified the lessons contained in the picture o f C hrist stilling the storm at sea. He le ft the sodalists more firm ly convinced o f C h rist’s love fo r them and o f the reasons fo r greater confidence in H im self and His Blessed Mother. Father R ush Ranken, S .J., Professor o f Ethics in the college, was the last o f the guest speakers invited to address the sodalists during Lent. W ith characteristic earnestness and energy he drove into the minds o f all the fu ll significance o f the letters A .M .D .G . A m ongst the viv id things he said, were his tim ely words on the p erfect control th at C h rist exercised over His Mind and Body. The speaker urged the boys to the im itation o f their Leader in this great q u ality and showed them that w ith M ary’s help this wondrous self-con trol could be, in good part, attained by all. D uring the post-Lenten meeting the M oderator coached the members in the easier form s o f m ental prayer, allow ing at each meeting a little time fo r its exercise. G lancing over the year and its activities, the sodalists thank the M oderator fo r his w ork w ith them in thus honoring M ary. T hey thank also the priests o f the Prep and College faculties who were kind enough to address them and thus stimulate them to fu rth e r acts o f love fo r M ary and her divine Son. A nd as they leave behind their days o f postulancy and take the diploma o f membership, they look forw ard to a year o f even greater spiritual ac tiv ity in a larger field o f endeavor.

BEAUDEVIN DEBATING SOCIETY

A S THE academic year opened, we found ourselves without our former Moderator, Mr. Ernest P. H artnett, S.J., who had already left for Woodstock to continue his studies for the priesthood. We were fortunate, however, in obtaining the invaluable services of Mr. Joseph F. Cantillon, S.J., who immediately went into action by sched uling a number of public debates w ith schools of considerable repute for their forensic merits. A t the first regular meeting in September, elections for officers to conduct the society were held, and as a result James Reuter took the gavel, while A lbert Griffin and Thomas Kent were appointed VicePresident and Secretary-Treasurer respectively. The meeting was closed w ith an instructive and rather amusing discussion by Fr. Chetwood, S.J., of St. Peter’s College, on the subject "W h y Jesuits advo cate debating.” The first of our public debates was held w ith Fordham Prep, on the afternoon of Nov. 19, the scene of battle being St. Peter’s Debat ing H all, and the subject "Resolved, That the United States needs a third p arty along the lines of Catholic principles.” The Prep was ably represented by Patrick McGrath and Emmet Norton, defending the affirmative. But upon the termination of an enlightening dis cussion the orators from "up Bronx w ay” won the unanimous decision of the judges and returned victorious to the Fordham campus.

PRIZE DEBATERS M anning, Griffin, Lucid, Norton, Evers, Reuter.

A t Dickinson Auditorium on Tuesday evening, Nov. 28, Leonard Manning, Thomas Lucid and James Reuter met the Evening school on the question "Resolved, That modern advertising is detrimental to the best interests of the American people.” In this debate, St. Peter’s again adopting the affirmative, was successful. Incidentally, this was the first debate ever held between Dickinson Evening and the Prep, and we wish to express our thanks for the hospitality so generously extended us by the Hilltoppers. It is the firm hope of our society that this w ill prove to be but the first of a long series of debates with them. On Dec. 8, Loyola High School of Baltimore traveled northward well-prepared to achieve victory over the Prep by showing the falsity of the proposition "Resolved, That interscholastic athletics, as at present conducted, are detrimental to education.” But Michael Falsey, James Evers and James Reuter proved superior to the Maryland team, with success as the result. The lighter side of debating was seen when the visitors enjoyed the sights of New York under Prep tutelage. The final debate of the first semester took place early in January at Brooklyn Prep, the subject reading "Resolved, That the United States should immediately build its navy to treaty strength.” Joseph M cCarthy, Donald Clark and Albert Griffin went down to defeat in an all but vain attempt to overcome Brooklyn’s arguments.

PUBLIC DEBATERS

/^\N Jan u ary 30, a meeting was held to select new officers for the second term ; whereupon Thomas Lucid was installed in the pre siding chair, Raymond Jordan came into the Vice-Presidency, and James M urray took up the duties of the Secretary-Treasurer. These officers have proven in every respect to be as w orthy as their faultless predecessors, and we congratulate ourselves on our good fortune. The afternoon of Feb. 6 saw Xavier H igh School descend in full m ilitary uniform upon St. Peter’s. The Petrean debaters, consisting of Joseph Rodgers, Thomas Geraghty and Nicholas Balbo, maintained "T hat in all the courts of the United States, a judge, or board of judges, should be substituted for the Ju ry System.” A t the end of this word-clash, however, Xavier, by a judicial vote of two to one, marched forth from our hall w ith a smile of trium ph upon their faces. And now came the big trip of the year. A lbert Griffin, Thomas Kent and James Reuter were chosen from among the outstanding and faithful members of the society, to make the W ashington’s B irth day trip to Buffalo, there to cross swords w ith the local Canisians on the issue "Resolved, T hat recognition of Russia was not justified.” Supporting the affirmative, they received the unanimous vote of the judges, and after a four-day holiday, they returned happy and weary, to the Prep. Early in March, Brooklyn Prep crossed the Hudson in a return debate, heartily in support of the Ju ry System, while the Petrean team remained precisely the same as that selected for the Xavier debate

OFF TO CANISIUS Kent, Mr. Cantillon, S.J., Griffin, Reuter.

on this question. St. Peter’s, on this occasion, sought and obtained vengeance for the defeat earlier in the year, after a unanimous de cision had been rendered by the judges. York H all, on March 26, was the scene of a return engagement with the Canisians of Buffalo, who, at the time, were making a debating tour of the East. The topic providing the entertainment was: "Re solved, That the United States should agree to the complete cancella tion of all In ter-Allied W ar Debts.” Carrying the Prep’s laurels on their w orthy shoulders were Thomas Lucid, James M urray and Leonard Manning, who attacked this interesting topic and chalked up another victory. On the nineteenth of April, St. Peter’s traveled to Dickinson for the third tilt in the history of the two institutions, to debate the question: "Resolved, That the powers of the President should be sub stantially increased as a permanent policy.” The Prep team, sup porting the negative, was composed of Michael Falsey, Joseph Mc C arthy and Albert Griffin. A unanimous victory for the Prep! A heavy year w ill be closed late in April with the Prize Debate. The following have been chosen to participate: Affirmative— Leonard Manning, Thomas Lucid, Albert Griffin and Michael Falsey, alternate. Negative—James Evers, Emmet Norton, James Reuter

FORDHAM PRIZE ORATOR James B. Reuter

and Thomas Kent, alternate. The subject chosen to bring out the individual as well as cooperative ability of these champions is: "R e solved, That the proposed Child Labor Amendment deserves the sup port of this house.” In looking over the year’s work, we notice several departures from customs of previous years. The policy of one or two debates a year was abandoned for a wider field of activity. It was felt that the great er good of a greater number should be sought, rather than the development of three or four speakers to represent the Prep, on all occasions. In carrying out the new policy, nine public debates, disregarding the Prize Debate, were staged as against four or five for previous years. Moreover debates before H oly Name Societies in and about Jersey C ity were held frequently throughout the year. W e conclude w ith a heart-felt word of praise to our Moderator, and to the six officers who guided us through a year of success. F O R D H A M O R A T O R IC A L C O N T E ST O n A p ril 16 , James B. R eu ter, representing St. P eter’s, took first place in the annual Jesuit O ratorical C ontest sponsored by Fordham U n iversity. The representa tives o f the various schools spoke on Jesuit Leadership. R euter took fo r his topic— "M atteo R icci and the Scientist Missionaries o f C hina.” The v ic to ry was a singular honor both fo r the school and fo r its representative, fo r it means th at St. P eter’s has produced the forem ost orator o f the Jesuit H igh Schools o f the Middle A tla n tic States.

M ULRY DEBATING SOCIETY Jp A R L Y in the First Term tryouts were held for the scheduled Fordham debate. The members elected by vote the team they thought most representative. When the final returns were gathered W illiam N utzel, John Collins and Joseph Dineen, had gained the cov eted honor, while Francis Soden was balloted to the alternate position. A month of diligent preparation followed and Dec. 15, the M ulry Debaters engaged their Fordham friends in a verbal clash at the Rose H ill Auditorium. The Petreans argued for the negative side of the question: "Resolved, That the Ju ry System should be abolished.” John Collins opened the case for the M ulry trio. His well ordered speech, combined w ith a clear and forceful delivery, set the adherents of the Ju ry System off on the right foot. W illiam Nutzel appeared second for the Negative. The fiery manner and logical arguing of the Petrean Sophomore stirred the audience and gained for him a gen erous round of applause from the appreciative Bronx gathering. Jo seph Dineen summed up the case of his colleagues and aired the abuses of any novel system. The rebuttal was a spirited affair. Both teams aimed at the root of the arguments and struck with a lingual violence. A fter the heat of the rebuttal the judges retired to decide the victor.

T hey returned w ith a unanimous vote for St. Peter’s. This was a big trium ph for the M u lry Debaters. The unanimous verdict on foreign soil was not only joy, but the clean cu t victo ry helped to erase a pre vious setback of our Senior Debaters at the hands of Fordham. The debaters w ill never forget the genuine hospitality of the Bronx school. T hey received our debaters w ith open arms and treated us royally. W e trust that next year we shall be able to return a grain of this cor diality. The second semester was featured by several inter-class debates. Feeling ran high among the various sections and a lively tussle always resulted. These sectional skirmishes served as a good criterion of the year’s work. Extemporaneous speaking from the floor had to be curtailed rather than encouraged. N ot infrequently time proved to be our barrier when forensic fires were kindling. A noticeable advance in fluency and ease was detected as the curtain of M ulry activities descended.

COLLINS DEBATING SOCIETY ''ST TIDE blinked the eyes o f m any a First Y ear lad when he walked into the Debate H all last September.

His surprise was great when he stared at the long polished

table in the center o f the room and the chairs th at ran around the w all in regular succession. O n this first day m any an ambitious Freshman set his heart on occupy ing one o f the three desks on the p latform , or at least one o f the three arm chairs ranged on either side o f the long polished table. A t the second meeting o f the term M r. Thomas Stanley was appointed to the President’s chair on the platform . M r. M ark Burke received the Vice-president’s desk and M r. John Foley occupied the Secretary’s cushioned seat. A fte r officers were installed, volunteers assigned to the long polished table, and the purpose o f debate explained, the eager freshm en had a chance to practice their "nerve” in an Open Forum. The pioneers o f ’3 3 - ’34 in the first form al debate were: Messrs. H offm an, Quinlan, Stanley on one side o f the long central table and Messrs. D owning, Browne and R ay mond M cC arth y on the opposite side. The follow in g week Messrs. C arr, Mahler and Edward M cC arth y said th at W ashington did more fo r the United States than Lincoln. Messrs. Foley, T rainor and Greene thought differently. O ther prominent debaters were Messrs. Ruane, Griffin, Harhen, Stahlin, Scott, W ilson, Hayden, John Hamill, D zura, as w ell as R obert and Peter F laherty and M ark and R ichard Barry. Let us pause fo r a moment in tribute to one o f the most loyal Prepsters ever enrolled on the records o f St. Peter’s, Father P atrick M arley Collins, S.J., ’ 83.

DRAM ATICS T T W A S the n igh t o f December 19 th , 19 3 3 .

In the little hall on Y o rk Street

the deep, lo w masculine tones and the tin klin g laughter o f women were sud denly subdued. A deep hush swept o ver the audience, the house lights blinked out, the flashing footlights blazed, and slow ly, m ajestically, the curtain rose upon the first act o f "The Queen’s H usband.” For the next tw o hours the delighted spectators gazed in rapture at a smooth, polished Petrean perform ance— adventure, rollicking comedy, subtle humor, pathos, and romance. O f course they did not know th at M r. O ’Mara, S.J., had toiled w ith the cast fo r six weeks, they knew nothing o f the worried, hustling stage crew , the gray hairs and fu rrow ed brows o f the business managers; on the night o f the presentation we fo rg o t the hectic weeks o f constant rehearsal, day a fte r day, week a fte r week. O u r listeners had no idea th at backstage the young actors were standing in tense silence, w ith pounding hearts and throbbing temples— so ftly p ray ing th at everythin g w ould be all right, th at they would not fa lte r . . . No, the audience saw on ly the finished product, the bare gleaming surface, the play itself. Nevertheless, i f applause is any criterion they enjoyed the perform ance immensely. It was a three-act comedy, "The Queen’s Husband.” The king, a mild-mannered, weak-kneed, henpecked figure head, has nothing to say about the governm ent o f his ow n nation, a m ythical cou n try somewhere in Europe. General N orthrup, the villain o f the piece, is the king’s chief o f staff. He is an imperious, egotistical old ty ra n t who runs the cou n try w ith his right-hand man, Lord Birten. The Queen,

a fiery-tem pered aristocrat, occupies herself w ith the pleasant task o f m aking the kin g’s life miserable.

She accomplishes this w ith the aid o f lashing, b iting sarcasm

and general verb al abuse.

The com mon people are chafing under N o rth ru p ’s yoke

and fin ally, under the leadership o f Fellm an and Laker th ey re v o lt.

The action

then continues to the tune o f booming cannon, ch atterin g machine guns, and collaps in g walls.

N o rth ru p storm s and raves; the Queen snaps viciou sly a t the w o rld in

general and the k in g in p articu lar.

Lord Birten hides in the cellar; the b u tler spends

his tim e exclusively in raising his eyebrows, and the kin g ’s secretary and daughter strike the one harmonious note in a sea o f discord b y m aking love a t every opp ortu n ity . F in ally the worm turns.

The king asserts him self, throw s N o rth ru p and Birten

o u t in to the cold, cold w orld , perform s the m arriage cerem ony fo r his secretary and daughter, and fin a lly in form s the queen e x ac tly w ho is the head o f the house, and nation.

The gracious m onarch then abdicates the throne, hands the governm ent

over to the people, and everyb od y is happy. The main character, o f course, was the "Queen’s H usband,” Joh n A . D ugan, who wandered hesitan tly about w ith a v acan t stare in his eyes, never fighting back and in general leading a hounded life. His acting, on the whole, was exceptionally fine and, a t times, b rilliant. The Queen, how ever, Gino Monaco, v e ry nearly stole the whole show.

Im proving

on Sherwood w ith o u t scruple, inserting lines w ith careless abandonment, he had the audience roaring w ith gales o f laughter th at were still bouncing around Y o rk Street three weeks later. His fem ale impersonation was n early perfect.

Thomas J . K en t, as General N orthru p , ranted, pounded tables, smoked black cigars and grow led m urderously throughout. The applause at his final exit was thunderous. G ranton and Princess A nne, w ho supplied the rom antic interest, were played by C y ril C. F itzp atrick and Francis J. O â&#x20AC;&#x2122;N eill respectively. Despite the fa c t th at neither o f these boys had any previous experience in th at sort o f w ork, their portrayal, to say the least, was realistic. The bushy eyebrows o f Phipps, the butler, hid the handsome countenance o f P atrick D. M cG rath. W h ile his share o f the lim elight was com paratively small he was rated b y the critics as one o f the most sk illfu l artists on his side o f the fo o tÂ lights. Francis X . Greene fa ith fu lly upheld his dram atic reputation as the glibtongued politician and fello w -villain o f N orthrup, Lord B irten; A lb ert J. Griffin, in the horn-rim m ed spectacles o f Fellman, the calm, diplom atic leader o f the rebel forces, and James B. R euter, as fiery, hot-headed Laker, radical extraordinary, covered themselves w ith glory. Michael J. Falsey perform ed an almost Herculean task in his role o f one-man arm y. He barricaded the whole imperial palace and withstood the entire revoluÂ tionary forces single-handed. He gave an excellent interpretation o f a strong silent soldier, acting under the orders o f his superior, M ajor Blent, played by Theodore Kraem er. The ladies in w aiting, Thomas Q uinlin and John Ruane, brightened the scenes w ith their gracious charm and beauty. R obert G. C on w ay in his prim p lace ru ff was another royal butler that carried himself w ith the stateliness o f a C row n Prince. Thomas Kinkead as Prince W illiam lent d gin ity and aloofness as his contribution to an exceptional dram atic trium ph.

W e cannot forget that it was the handiwork of Fr. Robert Parsons, S. J., who aided and abetted the show no-end with his clever, deft hands and intimate know足 ledge of the art of make-up. The Dramatic Society is grateful to him also for the scenery and his crew of experienced stage hands.

LIBRARY / ^ \ U R G R O U P o f librarians looks v e ry serious— and w ell they should be, fo r they ^

T hey

are the Genii o f the M odern F airy Tale— the silent servitors who glide through the Palace o f Books and fetch fo r you the hidden treasures w ith which th at Palace abounds. Three outstanding features distinguish the lib rary in our ow n high school from the libraries o f so m any other "preps” and academies o f learning. These three fea tures refer to our magazines, our books and our staff. To start w ith the magazines, we can proudly and safely say th at fe w libraries in Jersey C ity combine their advantages in q u an tity and quality. Their numbers exceed f if t y and this does not include the occasional pamphlet and leaflet th at comes our w ay so frequ en tly. In q u ality we have something fo r old and young— fo r the scholarly and the frivolous-m inded. I f you r interest is science, we have the Radio

Digest, Radio News, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, National Geographic, Model Airplane Builders and m any others. But perhaps Catholic A ction is your forte. Then take a look at the Catholic News, Brooklyn Tablet, America, Commonweal, Jesuit Missions, The Sign, Catholic Mind and not a fe w others. For the ones who m erely w an t to "look at pictures” (as the first year boy said), our racks contain

The Sphere, Fortune, Illustrated London News, Asia, Travel, Mid-Week Pictorial, Baseball, Saturday Evening Post, w ith others o f the same character. The library does not pretend to a high-hatted attitude, nor does it condescend to the eight-yearold intellect.

COACHES John Cannella, Tommy Myers, Dick King

FOOTBALL "D RILLIANT, blazing, ecstatic glory! Screaming headlines, roar ing crowds, thundering cheers, shouting thousands, flushed, happy youngsters trotting over the white chalk stripes for the last time, un conquered rulers of the gridiron—champions! And back of it all a quiet, unassuming coach—unheralded and unsung. The man who not only built up a smooth, well-oiled, polished machine, a driving, hammering, smashing juggernaut, but who first laid a foundation of honesty, fair-play and love of clean, hard sport in the impressionable youths entrusted to his care. This lone hero fought every inch of every battle from his place on the sidelines; he labored and studied in his obscurity to make his boys champions. Thus opens this history of the Prep’s activities on the gridiron in 1933 with a sincere, heart felt tribute to the man who moulded the team, who strove so hard to develop manliness, courage and character in his charges—Tommy Myers. W e opened our season with the National Champions of two years ago, Mount Vernon. When the New York troupe galloped out to the fray, gloom swooped down and swallowed up the Petrean rooting section. The Mount Vernon boys were huge, hulking, fierce-looking giants, towering high over the Prep team, who looked like David before Goliath.

1 9 3 4 SQ U A D

McGovern of St. Peter’s received the opening kick-off and the lum bering mammoths flattened him in his cleat holes. The Prepsters fumbled and Mount Vernon recovered. DeMarzo then banged across the Maroon line into the end zone. Moeller converted, and w ith the game scarcely two minutes old we were seven points in the rear. A visiting rooter hoisted a finger into the air and shouted: "T h at’s o n e.” The Prep supporters huddled down into their overcoats w ith looks of pained resignation; and the game, which possessed all the earmarks of a grand and glorious slaughter, continued. But now the Prep attack began to click, our spirits rose, the team played harder; they fought, they battled! W ith spinners, double spinners, reverses and fake reverses, they ran around, under and over their surprised opponents, who were conducting intensive in vestigations to discover the whereabouts of the ball. W ith brain instead of brawn as the keynote, they worked the ball deep down into scoring territory, and our captain, Scotty McAleer, slid over for the Prep’s first tally before the half ended. When hostilities were resumed, the local boys continued to confuse, bewilder, and befuddle the distressed representatives of Mount Vernon. In the third quarter "D utch” Breunig, the big gun of the Grand Streeters’ attack, swept around right end, after a snappy bit of intricate ballhandling by the entire Prep backfield and jack-rabbitted his w ay for th irty yards. Two seconds later on the same play, Dutch repeated,

sprinting over the goal line standing up. As far as the Mount Vernon team was concerned, he could have run another hundred yards. W ein berg booted the pigskin through the uprights to make the score 13-7, and those pleasing numerals were still shining from the score-board when the last whistle blew. The following week saw the Prep steamroll their w ay to a 26-0 vic tory over a struggling St. M ary’s team. The Petrean reserves per formed most of the afternoon, though Timony, in a 60-yard dash, and Breunig scored in their few minutes of play. However, though clearly out-classed in every department of the game, the St. M ary’s boys never stopped battling and their courageous stand against over whelming odds deserves a world of credit. In the next contest Union H ill very nearly marred the Prep’s clean slate. In the second quarter Union H ill launched a battering attack that mowed down the Petrean line in a brilliant seventy-four yard march and brought the ball to the eight yard stripe. But at this

MT. VERNON SNAPS

juncture the Prep buckled down and smashed the next three attempts at line bucks. Then, w ith Leone, the Union H ill quarterback, in a huddle w ith himself to ascertain ways and means of going further w ith the pigskin, the half ended. In the last quarter, Ormsby, a thorn in the side of the Orange and Black all morning, stepped into the lim elight quite auspiciously. Leone, who was playing a whale of a game, dropped back to punt. Ormsby, Stapleton and the rest of the Prep line charged through. Ormsby blocked the kick, gathered up the loose pigskin and bounded up to and over the last white stripe. That achievement, coupled with W ein berg’s conversion, insured victory. In this trium ph Ormsby and Sta pleton stood out, m aking most of the tackles and coming down fast under W einberg’s kicks to cut down considerably the yardage gained by Union H ill on returned punts. W ith three straight conquests dangling from their belts, the vic torious Myers-men swept on to meet and vanquish a stubborn Emer son team by a count of 24-0. By this time the high-stepping maroon and white color-bearers

TERRY’S TOUCHDOWN THE GOAL

were conducting themselves with a little of pride and arrogance. They seemed well on their w ay to bigger and better accomplishments than even the crack Prep assemblage of 1927, and consequently when they jogged out to engage the worn-out old grads on the tw enty-eighth of October, it was with a slightly disdainful air. But did they lose that superior attitude! In the first period the Alumni blasted their w ay through the Petrean V arsity time and again with smashing line-bucks, climaxing a forty-five yard drive when Tommy Cullum lunged across for the first score of the day. Dick King calm ly drop-kicked the extra point and all the varsity’s cockiness seeped away, to be replaced by worried frowns and nervous glances. In the second canto the "school-boys”, fighting tooth and nail, man aged to tie the count after a bitter uphill battle when Captain McAleer, his muscular legs digging hard and deep in a piston-like drive, wound up with his face in the mud of the end zone and the ball about two inches over the goal-line. Weinberg, as usual, did not miss, and shortly thereafter the period ended.

THANKSGIVING TUSSLE

In the last half the Petreans opened up w ith an aerial attack that brought the ball to the seven-yard line, but no farther. Three times the "tired old men” threw back the Prep ball-toters, who should have been brim m ing w ith youth, vim and vigor, but weren’t. On the last down, however, Charlie Jam in cracked through tackle, stiff-armed, wormed and dodged for four yards, and dove the remaining three to put the Prepsters in the van for the first time. A gain W einberg’s phenomenal place-kicking changed the score, this time to 14-7. But on the next kick-off D ick King, ancient quarterback, took M cA leer’s punt on his own tw enty-yard line, and aided by some fine blocking, galloped 80 yards for a touchdown, which made the local heroes none too jubilant. The wheel-chair candidates missed the extra point, however, and left the V arsity frantically clutching a slim onepoint advantage. D utch Breunig, Petrean stellar left wing, then de cided that this situation ought not to be tolerated any longer; he intercepted a pass and zig-zagged fifty yards to the opponent’s tenyard line before he was pulled down. McAleer slammed across in two tries; and as the last whistle shrilled, the final score read 20-13. A great weight was lifted from the shoulders of the V arsity and they retired bruised and battered, but humbler and wiser school-boys.

"A somber, drizzling November seventh saw the invincible Maroon overpower a doughty Lincoln Blue 19-0, in one of the hardest fought games of the year. Rising to great heights, St. Peter’s rudely shattered Lincoln’s dream of conquest. The final score left no room for argu ment. Led by T erry McGovern, fleet-footed, nimble-witted quar terback, the Petreans broke aw ay for one touchdown in the second stanza and two more in the final period when their attack, relying principally on power applied ahead of carriers, engaged in feints, spinners, reverses, and other necromancy, struck w ith devastating force.” Thus did the local papers summarize the Lincoln game. The first Petrean thrust occurred when McAleer heaved a long pass across the battlefield, McGovern came through w ith a brilliant leaping catch at top speed, pivoted out of the arms of a would-be Lincoln tackier and dashed fifteen yards to a touchdown. Again in the last quarter, McGovern skipped through a wide gap in the line and pranced the necessary eight yards to carry the ball across. There upon Scotty McAleer, not to be outdone in such stellar activities, suddenly whirled out of a play that looked like a pass, cut off tackle and romped forty-four yards to Lincoln’s, one-yard marker. On the next play this same young man surged through center for the final score of the afternoon and the Prep chalked up its sixth straight vic tory. ST. PETER ’S PREP.

Title-bound, the all-conquering St. Peter’s eleven removed two more obstacles from their path on successive Saturday afternoons in the mud of the Jersey C ity Baseball Park. Combining a hard-hitting running attack with a brilliant aerial game, the Petreans mowed down the Xavier stalwarts in easy fashion, amassing tw enty points in the process. Xavier never threatened. Then, using the reserves al most entirely, the Myers-men marched through the Bayonne hopefuls for five touchdowns. Charlie Jam in covered himself with glory when he jaunted eighty-two yards for a score. Bayonne, outfought and outplayed, never had a chance, with Rooney, Flaherty and Timony affording them a miserable afternoon. And this carries us up to the gala day, the annual Thanksgiving Day classic, the contest superb, the big game with Dickinson. It

was a smashing hammer and tongs exhibition, term inating in a 7-7 deadlock. T erry McGovern, 130 pounds of dynam ite, opened the scoring for the Prep early in the first period. Coming in from the safety zone, McGovern leaped high into the air, and pulled down a floating forward pass intended for some hopeful Dickinsonian. He cut along the inside, moved slowly behind his interference, gathered speed, and then scissored his w ay sixty-eight yards to the end-zone, looking back over his shoulder as he raced across the last stripe. The Petreans continued to hold the contest w ell in hand w ith a seven point lead until near the end of the second canto. Then, in rapid succession, dire calamities swooped down on the unfortunate Prepsters. T erry M c Govern was slammed to the earth and arose w ith a strained shoulder, Scotty M cAleer hobbled out of a pile-up w ith a badly injured knee, and "Big Tom ” Ormsby, w rithing in pain, was carried off the field, suffering from internal injuries. W ith the Prep lineup w oefully weakened, the "Big Red” attack began to function. Lukacsy and O’R eilly hammered again and again into the faltering Petrean forward line. "T in y Tom ” Barrett and our fighting Pat O’R eilly desperately battled to stem the tide of the pound ing drive. Slowly and steadily the big Dickinson eleven advanced, and finally Lukacsy fumbled w ithin eleven yards of the Prep goal line, recovered, hesitated m om entarily, then whipped around right end and over the line to tally. W ith 15,000 pairs of eyes glued upon him in tense, gripping silence, O’R eilly booted the pigskin over the cross-bar to tie the score. For that display of iron nerve, he certainly deserves commendation and we of the Prep heartily congratulate him. In conclusion, it m ight be mentioned that Breunig, M cAleer and Stapleton received A ll-State honors, that Breunig was the State Prep scoring champion and took the county scoring honors, that we placed eleven men on the all-county teams, and that, in virtue of our u n tainted record, Saint Peter’s Prep officially captured the County title and State Prep Championship for the 1933 season.

but somewhat overworked, phrase—we have the real reason w hy the boys, their coaches and the faculty feel that the basketball season of 1933-1934 should not be w ritten off on our books as a total loss. " ’Tis better to have played and lost, than never to have played at all.” A t the end of every season, our eyes turn to that unobtrusive figure standing beside his boys in the team ’s picture, and, w ith a full know ledge of how much he is interested in every Prepster, we say—"Thank you and God bless you, Mr. M yers!”

BASEBALL VX rH E N the ground-hog’s head came forth in February, it was al most kicked off by the eager feet of St. Peter’s baseball team. T h irty-five boys, veterans from former seasons and aspiring rookies, answered the call for pitchers and catchers; Coach Myers soon had them at w ork in the gym . Later when the w arm sun and breezes of Spring had melted the deep frost and stiffened tu rf, practice started in earnest. R igid muscles were loosened, a tang of linim ent pervaded the air, and the Squad settled down to produce a team w orthy to suc ceed last year’s Nine. There is no doubt as to the leading pitcher. "D an” W allace, whose perfect control and dazzling speed led the Prep to victo ry last year, has proved that w inter only added to his unquestioned skill. "Don” M cN am ara w ill always be ready to step upon the mound and into his shoes. Norton appears to be the best of the newcomers. Grace seems to be slated for the receiving end of the battery, but Friedel and Burghardt are b y no means out of the running. As soon as he had chosen a tentative battery, Coach Myers turned his attention to the other positions. From one hundred candidates for infield and outfield positions, there was no trouble in selecting an able trio of fly-chasers. Bill C leary, Charlie Jam in and "T u rk ” R yan, all of whom saw action last year, w ill probably be the first-string gardeners. The infield was not so certain since no veterans were left. Although Reynolds, Looney and Solga, last year’s reserves, and three newcomers, Coyle, Leber and O’N eill had already proved their ability, they experienced keen com petition from numerous candidates. As the team now shapes up, it w ill pack lots of batting power while not sacrificing any skill on the defensive end. Jam in, Cleary and R yan , the outer trio, are that type of consistent hitters who produce every time a hit is needed. The infield, while not equalling the batting prowess of the gardeners, makes up for any deficiency in this depart ment by its stellar defensive work. A n exhaustive and comprehensive schedule has been arranged by Father Diehl, S.J., the Director, and under Mr. M yers’ experienced tutelage and the capable managership of George Irving, we are con fident that baseball w ill enjoy its greatest success since its reincarna tion at St. Peter’s three years ago.

TENNIS j [|^S WELL as producing St. Peter’s first state-champion football team, the sports year of 1933-34 was also noteworthy because it signified the resumption of tennis as a recognized sport of the Grand Street institution. "D ick” McBride, captain of the ’32 squad, Nevins and Kane are the only survivors of last year’s disbanded team, but w ith such promising new-comers as C rotty, Reynolds and Evers, it is expected that the honor of Saint Peter’s w ill be upheld on the court this year as well as it was in former years. An impressive schedule comprising the leading Prep and High Schools in the Metropolitan area, is being arranged by Father Diehl, but as yet it is too tentative to admit of publication. The weather perm itting, they w ill soon enter competition and ex pect to carry off a great m ajority of their contests.

To the graduates who added to the great interest either by their vocal assistance from the side-lines or by their noble exploits on the court, we bid a h eartfelt "Good-bye” w ith an added wish fo r continued success in all fu tu re athletic endeavors.
