ADM INISTRATION

A T A T IM E when the Church was being sorely distressed by disruption within and attack from without, its eternal spring of life brought forth a new Religious Order which was destined not only to play a large part in the “Counter-Reformation” but also to vitally affect a large part of the civilized world from 1540 to the present day. Saint Ignatius Loyola founded the Society of Jesus, beginning with nine companions— all of them remarkable men, saintly, learned. When Ignatius died in 1SS6, his small band had grown to about a thousand members living in more than one hundred communities. T he Society was then divided into eleven Provinces: Italy, Sicily, Portugal, Aragon, Castille, Andalusia, Upper Germany, Lower Germany, France, India, Brazil and a mission in Ethiopia.

It has been rightly said that these men drew a line across Europe beyond which Protestantism would not go. And it did not. More than that, working outward in fan-like thrusts they brought back to the Church many parts of Central Europe and brought into the fold of Christiandom vast reaches of the uncivilized world. T hey did not even wait for the world to be explored: they went out and explored it. And the blood of Jesuit M artyrs flowed in m any parts of the earth— in Japan, in England, in Canada and N ew York, in Florida and Virginia, in many parts of South America.

From the time of Ignatius, the Society continued to expand. And all through its history there runs the touch of the supernatural: remarkable deeds far beyond the scope of human expectation or of merely human endurance. Xavier was the first to evangelize Japan. Forty-five years after his death there were 1,800,000 Christians there and 140 Jesuit M issionaries. In Cartagena, Colombia, St. Peter Claver bap­ tized and instructed 300,000 Negroes. Such items characterize Jesuit history.

Ignatius Loyola turned from military pursuits to religious aspirations while re­ cuperating from a wound. After a period of seclusion and many years of study and after conquering difficulties that would have broken an ordinary man, he was the natural leader of the group that formed the Society of Jesus in 1540.

O I C T U R E if you can a body of men who banded together for no specific apostolic work yet who have, over a space of four hundred years, become so renowned for their system of educational institutions that they are looked upon, in this country at least, as primarily an educational order. This is not altogether justified for the Society might just as well be regarded as a missionary order.

Although Saint Ignatius had no specific work in view when he received the first formal approbation for his order, he had a very definite conception of the sort of service which his Company was to engage in for the “greater glory of God”. It was his idea and expressed intention that he and his men should be used by the H oly See wherever service was needed most in the eternal warfare of the Church against her internal foes of ignorance and indifference and her external enemies of idolatry and unbelief. It soon became evident to him that the Church could not regain her pre-Reformation vigour merely through retreats to priests and bishops, and missions to layfolk or through the pronouncements of the Council of Trent or through the evangelization of the heathen— although these were the first fields in which his companions labored zealously. It was also necessary to communicate the age-old culture of Christianity to the young. Thus it was that within seven years of the official foundation of the Jesuits the first college was opened at M essina in Sicily.

W ithin two hundred years there were well over six hundred colleges conducted by the Society. Whether they went to relight the torch of the Faith in once Catholic lands or to enkindle the new fire of Christianity in pagan continents, the Fathers of the Company of Jesus left behind them concrete evidence of their coming in the shape of educational institutions. And in spite of innumerable setbacks, this work continues more gloriously than ever. Jesuit schools are increasing in size and in number.

The Rev. Robert I. Gannon, S.J., has had a brilliant career as a teacher and administrator. In many ways he typifies the educational ideals of the Society of Jesus. After finishing the usual course of studies, he did graduate work in England and the Continent, returned to teach at Fordham, to become first dean of the new St. Peter’s College and then President of Fordham University.

1940

N T H E history books the decade just completed will probably be referred to as “The Terrific T hirties”. It was the period during which the Blue Eagle soared out and cast its shadow on the land for a moment and then sank to rest again; the sit-down strike became the vogue in America; the big apple, “handies” and the gulping of live goldfish by college boys passed on in the parade of great events.

T he last four years of this period have held many memorable events which have endeared our high school careers to us forever.

L et us pause to turn back the pages of time to September, 1936. During the throes of a Presidential campaign that meant little to us, the class of nineteen hundred and forty cautiously walked into a yard where a collection of gazelles, commonly referred to as upper classmen, romped playfully. As we stood in the yard, first on one foot and then on the other, we all wondered just what this school was like. A bell broke our pensiveness and we were ushered to the assembly hall. Father Shalloe, the new principal, was introduced and immediately won the hearts of the students with his kind and friendly talk. T he class list was read out and we were assigned to our different rooms. N ow there was no Sister Loretta to calm our fears of first day.

T he title of M en had been conferred upon us and a firm determination to justify it permeated the hearts of all. Friendships were formed as the year sped by with the maze of Latin and Algebra being successfully conquered.

R E SP IT E of three months and back we came to the second year of our Prep career, already started on the right foot. T his time the world seemed to be ours with our coming into the proud title of sophomores. Little did we realize that the true meaning of the word is “wise fool”. N ew friendships were formed and old ones made stronger as the classes were broken up by the choice of some to follow the intricacies of biology while the rest followed the march of Xenophon. Great events social and scholastic followed in rapid succession. Class officers were elected and our second year was well on its way. Athletics made a decided leap in favor of the sophomores and they have continued upward ever since. Our zeal for the missions soon spurred us into action which resulted in a large sum of money being collected for our adopted priest in the far off pagan lands. Then, upon the heels of this came Christmas and the exams. As the experience of Prep exams was not a new one to us, we weathered the storm of a hectic week and came out on top gloriously.

Debating, school clubs, football, basketball, track, et al., were participated in and enjoyed by our more talented members. Dramatics? Certainly. “Penrod” was enhanced by the presence of capable sophomores. This and other examples prove that we did go in for the serious things too. As may be presumed, examination week was fast creeping upon us. But being in a dreamy frame of mind, we scarcely realized this fact. W e hoped to be Juniors in the year to come, and this bright thought served to dull such tiresome thoughts as those of the hectic week to come. If we did dream a bit too much, can we not be pardoned? W e were only sophomores.

W ith the close of the second year, that monster, the province exams, took its toll.

Notwithstanding many difficulties, the majority of us moved forward on the wings of happiness to the good old summertime.

f ■''IME has a peculiar habit of going on regardless of the wishes of anyone and so September came rolling around again, bringing with it a certain amount of joy because of our exultant return to the second most hallowed position of the Prep, that of the Junior class. Greeted by Latin, Greek, Chemistry, Geometry and English books, we, undaunted, resolved then and there not to be caught napping at the end of the term. Such perennial resolutions, taken and forgotten, taken again and for­ gotten again, seem to be guide posts of our life. However, on forced marches of thirty and forty parasangs, we glided through the land of the Taochi and passed safely the definitions of electrolysis and the Salvay Process. And after a few months of arduous travel, the flag of silence and dread was hoisted as the formidable array of examina­ tions rolled into view. But we had become accustomed to this enemy and he was easily taken into camp.

As the months went swiftly by, many members of our class were taking prominent parts in all of the school activities. Our representatives on the football team, on the basketball team, in the play, on the track squad, on the debating team and so forth, proudly bore the banner of the class to the heights of achievement. Before we realized it, the province exams were past and done with, giving all of us a long awaited reprieve for at least three months. Since justice must prevail at all cost, something should be said for ourselves in self-approbation. We cannot let the opportunity escape for boasting about our scholastic and athletic prowess. The best witnesses for our case are the Rolls of Honor and the many newspaper clippings filed away in the scrap books of the Athletic Association.

U N E , Ju ly and August fluttered earthward, torn from the calendar of time, and brightly daw ned the first day of our exalted year. This tim e w e sauntered past the low ly underclass­ men w ith our heads in the clouds w ith the realization that at last w e were really Seniors. A heterogeneous collection of subjects served to dampen our ardour som ewhat but not to any great extent. The clouds of sm oke pouring from a room in the basem ent of the Science Building attested that the sm oking privilege was being fully exercised. Tim e flitted on and w ith the begin­ ning of H oly W eek w e m ade a memorable Senior Retreat under the direction of Father Rector.

Inspired by his fine talks and w ith the doctrines of Christ more firmly entrenched in our souls w e w ent hom e to enjoy a m erited Easter holiday. R eturning once more, preparation for the final hurdle w as begun and finally the last test of our knowledge w as taken.

RECORD IN VARIED EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM I M any apparently disparate items constitute school life. Above, part of the student body is pictured tak足 ing the pledge to support the campaign to eliminate indecent literature. W e are proud to pictorially pro足 claim that the Prep is able to care for the education of blind boys; they are indeed a great credit to the school. John Roebuck, pictured on the left, did his bit for Prep history when he brought back to Grand Street the first award of the Fordham Oratorical Con足 test. Proud too are we of many other items that lack of space here relegates to jam-packed memories. But the minds of the graduates are well stored with pleasant recollections of life in class and out.

In the field of sports, we could say many things about the year nineteen hundred and forty at Saint Peter’s. But there is one football game that Saint Peter’s men are still playing: the Thanksgiving D ay classic with Dickinson. Above is pictured one of the two most rousing moments of that contest, the first touchdown run. Constant scholastic endeavour need hardly be mentioned and is difficult to picture but below we make the attempt. And since concern with spiritual welfare is first, last and always the most important item, we close this brief survey with a candid portrait of Father Daniel A. Lord, S.J., who conducted our annual retreat last fall.

JAMES NICHOLAS M O N TA G N E Dec. IS, 1922-Nov. 14, 1939 Jim was the very best of us. M en cried when they heard that he was lost to them, even though they realized he had gone to an eternal reward for all his good­ ness. That goodness spilled over from his great heart and marked each one of us for life. For we cannot, will not forget one who was so wholesome, so devoted, so h’gh minded. N o one ever saw him do a wrong or heard him say an unseemly thing.

H e was high spirited. H e lived the “Prep Spirit” that others talk about and he was proud of Saint Peter’s but Saint Peter’s is far more proud of him. Requiescat in pace.

T E S U IT M ISSIO N A R IE S in quest of souls have ranged over many parts of Asia •J and Africa, all through N orth and South America. The missionary activity of the early Society was almost coextensive with the colonial empires of Spain and Portugal. Here the Fathers were also burdened with the necessity of trying to reform scandal-giving Christians. Japan proved to be a fertile field of activity but intense persecution later destroyed nearly all the work of the early missionaries. T he Mexican mission prospered so rapidly that within a few years it was able to send other mis­ sionaries to the Philippine Islands. Hundreds of thousands of Indians were baptized and brought to some state of civilization. This work expanded northward into California and southward as far as Nicaragua.

In South America, the work of the Society also prospered. The first mission was in Brazil and within a comparatively few years there were enough members and communities to warrant the erection of an independent Province. The same was true of Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador and Paraguay. In the latter country, the well known reductions were established. These were some fiftyseven communities harboring about one hundred and fourteen thousand Indians.

Five Jesuit Fathers came to M aryland with the first colonial expedition. Their first school at N ew Town later became Georgetown College. This early mission gradually extended its activities along the Atlantic seaboard. And from France came m any missionaries to labor and suffer incredible hardships throughout the French colonial empire.

All of this is but a mere suggestion of the missionary history of the Society of Jesus. T he full story of the expansion, development and present work of the missions would require a great number of volumes. Everywhere this work has been blessed.

Father Francis X . Rello, S.J., has labored for twenty-three years as Chaplain in the Culion Leper Colony in the Philippine Is­ lands. He has comforted fifteen thousand lepers on their death beds. The “Padre of the Forty Tongues”, as he is called by the natives, has need of at least that many lan­ guages because the lepers are apt to speak any one of eighty-seven dialects.

PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE IS AN ARDUOUS TASK Stretching their minds on the rack of thought, Prep students extend themselves to grasp the eternal verities. That sounds very fine but such fluent phrases are small consolation when one is tortured by an unsolvable problem or an untranslatable Latin sentence. However, relief is adequate and the rewards are satisfying. N o dull monotony marks life here, or the cheerlessness of a life without friends.

scholarly, scientific and literary work of the Society of Jesus is well known, e titles of works published by Jesuits during four centuries runs into the hundreds of thousands. T he study and teaching of theology has always claimed the Society’s best minds and Saint Robert Bellarmine has been honored by being declared a Doctor of the Church. But other branches of learning have also been a fertile field for many. As astronomers, the Italian Angelo Secchi, the German Johannes H agen and the English Stephen Perry have ranked high. W ell known are the observa­ tories at H avana, M anila (where invaluable pioneer work was done in forecasting typhoons and hurricanes), Georgetown, Stonyhurst, Zichwei in China and Tortosa in Spain. T he Society’s early missionary work in China was greatly aided by the fact that the court and higher circles of Chinese society had great esteem for the Jesuits’ knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, physics and chemistry. Father M atteo Ricci was an endless source of wonderment to the avid Chinese. And in philosophy, the classics, biology, history and more recently in the social sciences, many Jesuits have won renown.

N o less well known is the spirit of adventuresome curiosity that has spurred many Jesuits to explore the unknown. Father Kino discovered California and established the first stations there. Father M arquette discovered and explored the M ississippi Valley. N ew York State has honored Isaac Jogues for his pioneer work on the Iroquois mission. Though it took place centuries ago, an aura of m ystery still surrounds the journey of Rudolph Aquaviva to the forbidden court of Akbar the Great in Central Asia. The Ven. Robert de N obili attempted to win souls to himself by becoming a Brahmin. Of course, the most adventuresome of all were those who dared to administer the sacraments in lands where that was penalized by death, as for example, Edmund Campion in England and M iguel Pro in M exico and Thomas Tzugi in Japan.

Father Bernard R. Hubbard, S.J., is rightly called the “Glacier Priest”, because he has ventured fourteen times into the wild wastelands of Alaska. Being priest and scientist, he collects valuable geological data and administers the sacraments to natives who live a great distance from the mission stations. H e is Professor of Geology at the University of Santa Clara.

SENIOR

SODALITY

"IT’ARLY in September the first meeting of the Senior Sodality was called

by Father Butler, S.J., in the lower Church. An excellent repre­ sentation of third and fourth years was present. T he Reverend moderator urged the members and new candidates to make this a banner year for the sodality. T he zestful generosity and devotion of the sodalists have amply borne out Father Butler’s trust. T his scholastic year has been great in m any ways but one of its outstanding characteristics has been a new interest in the sodality and its work.

Joseph Turro was elected Prefect and W illiam Sweeney was chosen to be his assistant. These two selections were wise ones indeed. The other officers elected were: W illiam M cDonough, secretary; Augustine Giella and Francis D ay, sacristans; James R yan and Nicholas Keller, organists; Frederick Galiani, Thomas Kearney and Walter W hite were chosen to constitute a publicity committee.

In addition, the following class consul tors were selected: Joseph Halleron, 4A; Lawrence M cGee, 4B ; Donald O ’N eill, 4C; John Markey, 4D ; Maurice McLaughlin, 4M ; John Carroll, 3A; Robert Haskins, 3B; Harold Ford, 3C; Francis W alsh, 3 D ; John Harris, 3E. In the election of officers for the various committees, the following were selected: First Knight of the Blessed Sacrament, John Golding; assistant, Finian Greene; stamp committee chairman, Edward Lynch; assistant, Philip McGovern; litera­ ture committee, John W alsh; assistant, Joseph McLaughlin.

THE CATECHISTS 1 3R A C T IC A L action as an integral part of living Catholicity is one of the aims of the Sodality. One group of sodalists exemplifies this ideal in their own lives in a remarkable way. For every Sunday morning soon after the sun has appeared in the east, a number of young men hurry from their homes to Churches in various parts of the city where they endeavour to place in the minds and hearts of young children who have not the advantage of attending a Catholic school, the fundamentals of Catholic doctrine. These young men are the enthusiastic, loyal sodalists who strive to do their bit to spread the Kingdom of God. Their work is quite unseen and is all the more praiseworthy because it is not cheered along by the plaudits of an audience. The good they do is more than they know. For besides the practical Christianity that they instil in young hearts, the fine example of their zeal in the cause of Christ is a spur to many of their comrades at Saint Peter’s. The catechists say that they derive their zeal from their moderator; the latter says that the boys deserve all the credit. However that may be, the sacrifice and the devo­ tion will not go unrewarded. Beyond the actual catechetical work among young Catholic children, conversions to the Faith have been brought about and a great deal of charitable service to the poor has been performed.

H P H E Junior Sodality held its first formal meeting last September after the school routine had become habitual. A large group of students attended, many of them first year boys wonderingly curious. Leaflets distributed that day treating of the aims and ideals of the organization, supplemented by the moderator’s explana­ tions, sufficed to clear up doubts and to stimulate in young minds such questions as: H ow can I be more like Jesus the Ideal Boy? H ow can I best show m y love for H is mother?

Mr. Fahey, S.J., soon pointed out one practical w ay of answering these questions by requesting stamps for the missions. Under his direction, the thousands of stamps turned in were sorted and soon the W oodstock Stamp Exchange received a wellordered contribution. Zeal for the missions also prompted an exchange of letters with Father Joseph Merrick, S.J., of Iraq and a money order was sent him to help further his apostolate. As an integral part of the school that has consistently made the highest annual contribution of the Province to the missions, the Junior Sodalists feel hum bly happy in their sacrifice.

Volunteers to visit and console the sick in the hospitals were called for early and the response was imm ediately satisfactory. W ednesday after W ednesday, groups of three or four, with school bags full of Catholic literature could be seen bound for Saint Francis’ or Saint M ary’s. As the autumn went by, contributions came in to swell the Christmas Bundle Drive. W ith the Senior Sodality giving us the glad hand (that palmed m any a greenback) and substantially aiding by man power the dis­ tribution of over two hundred bundles and supplying much of the lung power that made the hospital corridors echo with merry carols, w e terminated a six-weeks drive for Christ’s sick under the guiding grace of Bethlehem ’s Queen.

Guest speakers from time to time addressed us. Father Shalloe, S.J., and Father W alter, S.J., gave us plenty to think about in their interpretations of sodality ideals.

T he power of the rosary as brought out by Father Murray, S.J., will be well remem­ bered. M r. Brady, S.J., presented Our Lady of Sorrows in a forceful plea and the address of Mr. Paone, S.J., on Saint Joseph made us realize that the doing of God’s W ill is the only thing that counts.

FOOTBALL H P H A N K SG IV IN G D A Y , 1939, will long be remembered by the class of 1940 and indeed by all loyal St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rooters. For on that chilly but very wonderful Thursday morning, an inspired Prep team played all over, under, around and even among a strong Dickinson team which had been favored to win the ball game. After m any lean years, the Prepsters finally reached pay dirt and after the Prep backs had finished their plunging and running, the Prep was ahead 12 to 6, although the statistics of the game gave a better picture of the wide margin by which the game had been won.

T he most thrilling moments were the two touchdown runs. The first came during the second quarter when Ed Lynch who played only a few minutes because he had just recovered from an injury, broke through the left side of the line, cut back to the right and performed the finest sixty yard dash ever seen on a high school field.

T he other rousing performance was by Joe Halleron when he snatched a Dickinson forward pass on his own nineteen yard line and romped to the second touchdown with the help of some deadly blocking.

This is the outstanding play of the season: Halleron on the way to score the second touchdow n against Dickinson.

The player who deserves the credit for piloting the Prep to its victory and who almost made the count 18 to 6 in the closing minutes was R ay Thaler.

At his quarterback post, R ay not only told his teammates what to do but he also showed them how. For this reason, the battle-scarred football was unani足 mously awarded to him. This was a fitting tribute both to his stellar per足 formance and to the quiet confidence with which he inspired the team. But R ay would be the first to admit that he did not win the game. Besides the ones already mentioned, these are the men who worked together to make an unbeatable com bination: Beaman, Dattoli, Croasdale, Doherty, McCarren, Abitante, Jahn, Lohr, Flynn, Wolfe, Dan Lynch, M olloy, McArdle, Ed M oskal.

From pictures of the Emerson game we can m ake a working dem onstration of one of those deadly end sweeps that Ed Lynch per足 forms so efficiently. H aving received the ball, he starts to the left behind four anxious blockers. B y the tim e he gets up to the line of scrimmage these four have fulfilled their assignments. Cutting back to the right, Ed runs the length of the prone line before the secondary defense players can even shift from right to left. Skirting past referee Harry M attos, he goes on downfield to be stopped only by the safety man who lies in waiting for him tw enty yards away. Such speed and shiftiness cannot be stopped short when the w ay is prepared and every assignment is ful足 filled.

T he Prep’s first game of the season ended in a 6 to 6 tie with Xavier M ilitary Academ y of N ew York. X avier’s touchdown was a heartbreak for the St. Peter’s rooters, coming as it did in the last few minutes of play after the Prep had held the advantage for m ost of the afternoon. After an exciting though scoreless first period, the Prep marched to within scoring distance early in the second. Walter W olfe passed to R ay Thaler and again to George Jahn to put the ball on the four yard line. After two plunges had advanced the ball three yards, Joe Halleron pounded over that m ost important yard. T he score then remained 6-0 until late in the fourth frame when a poor punt gave X avier the advantage. The score came on a neatly executed reverse-lateral pass play that fooled everyone in the stadium except the X avier halfback who was on the receiving end of the pass. The Prep’s last minute attem pts to score again proved futile but everyone was pleased with the team ’s first performance.

In the second game of the season, the Prep lost a hard fought game to Emer­ son High. Fine defensive play by both teams prevented any consistent marches and the battle was scoreless until a fourth period pass gave Emerson a 6-0 victory. In the third game, the Prep fought to an impressive 13-7 triumph over Ferris. In the second period, Ed Lynch paced the first touchdown march, reeling off forty-three yards in four tries and finally plunging to the score from the one-foot line. Early in the fourth period, Ferris tied the score but the Prepsters struck again immediately, needing only three plays to score. After receiving the kick-off, a pass from W olfe to Beaman, an end sweep by W olfe and another by Lynch turned the trick.

This game ranked second to the Dickin­ son game in excitement and fine play.

Another triumph, this one over Union H ill, made the Prep hopes soar. St. Peter’s had the upper hand all the way but was able to capitalize on its oppor­ tunities only once, making the score 6-0.

A glorious seventy yard march in the third period ended on the winning side of the goal line when W ally W olfe went over, dragging three desperate Union H ill men with him. But so much suc­ cess resulted in overconfidence so that the next two games were lost to Snyder and to Lincoln, 18 to 6 and 24 to 0.

JUNIOR FOOTBALL

John

F. D u f f y Coach

Six man football has become a well estab­ lished intra-mural sport at the Prep. During the 1939 season, interscholastic competition was begun. The first game scheduled was with Oakland M ilitary Academy. A real scoring spree was put on for the spectators and when the smoke of battle cleared away, the score was 40-18 in favor of St. Peter’s.

T he Prepsters were able to handle their heavier opponents with ease. Keller and Gourley both scored twice while Gilligan and Edwards tallied one touchdown apiece. The game with M cBurney Institute was a bit disastrous since the Prep lost 30 to 8. But Ed W inslow’s spectacular touchdown run was a fine consolation prize in this contest with a stronger, heavier team.

T w o squads journeyed to Van Cortland Park to stage an exhibition game in the new stadium there. M edals were given to the participants by the N ew York City Park Commission, sponsor of the affair. And so the season ended. Coach Duffy and his generous assistant, Mr. Arthur Madden, have every reason to be proud.

THE CHESS CLUB

A F T E R an intermission of one year, the Chess Club was again organized this year with Mr. Fahey, S.J., as moderator. W ithin two weeks of its inauguration, fifty-six enthusiastic Prepsters had enrolled. All the classes were represented although Freshmen and Sophomores outnumbered the upperclass­ men. Y et in spite of the large number of “rookies”, there were enough ex­ perienced players and veterans of the former club to form a nucleus for inter­ scholastic competition. Under the direction of Peter Nicholson, the captain, William Barber, Thom as Lally, Edward Grant, John Conniff, Joseph Boyle, M atthew R eilly, Edward Grant and Francis Fellmer formed the backbone of our organization.

Owing to its late start, the chess team has played only one match at this writing. But in its opening engagement the Prep team acquitted itself very creditably, playing a draw with an experienced Regis team. The team has excellent chances of finishing its schedule successfully^ And we look forward to an even more successful season next year since the talent shown by the present Freshmen and Sophomores is very promising.

The Club owes a vote of thanks to Father Shalloe, S.J., and to Father Walter, S.J., for funds to obtain needed equipment. Father Murray, S.J., has also helped us by augmenting the chess library. And finally our sincerest gratitude is due to Mr. Carl Fellmer, President of the Jersey City Chess Club, who has very graciously given us the use of the club rooms and equipment of that organization.

As the last strains of the orchestra’s music died aw ay in the darkened corners of the audi­ torium , the curtain rose amid thunder and light­ ning on another Prep production of a Broadway play, “The Tavern,” a comedy by George M .

Cohan. The applause that soon broke out was ample reward for the embryo dramatists. But the praise heaped upon the actors by fellow students, their severest critics, brought the great­ est satisfaction to the young thespians. A debt of gratitude is certainly due to Mr. H arvey, S.J., under whose w atchful eyes the play was pre­ pared and to M r. Marr whose sterling direction made the production such a success.

The part of Zack, the tavern keeper’s son, w as vivid ly portrayed by John Roebuck and likewise the part of the maid by John Walsh.

Freeman, the scheming tavern keeper, was quite unlike Ed Bonasch as St. Peter’s knows him.

The audience howled w ith laughter at the antics of W illum, better known to us as Winfield Bruder. The leading part was played by Lee Stapleton who depicted the part of the Vagabond com paratively, w e m ay dare say, as well as George Cohan in the same play several years ago.

Louis Beachner, a veteran actor, in the char­ acter of the M ysterious W om an, played this part so w ell that the rest of the cast them selves were held spellbound.

H aving had plenty of practice in the inter-class competition, the squad was in pretty good shape when it was time to work indoors. After about a month, Mr. M yers had his cagers ready for action. W ith a veteran letter man team back for another year of competition, this was the starting line-up that he picked: Joe Senec and “ Streaky” Clossey in the fore court, Bill Sweeney at the pivot position, and A1 Portfolio and Bob Sheridan in the back court.

On December 9th, the Petreans at the Collins Gym launched their season against H oly Fam ily Academy of Bay­ onne. It was an easy win for them and although the final score was 41 to 25, that margin of victory does not begin to tell the tale of the Prep superiority.

T he first team played less than half a game. Then four days later, the Prep traveled to Newark to encounter a strong Saint M ichael’s quintet. Staging their m ost amazing performance of the season and making almost a basket a minute, the Prepsters were victorious to the tune of 63 to 38. Clossey led an attack that swarmed all over the almost helpless opposition.

Beset by overconfidence, in the next game the Prepsters played poorly dur­ ing the first three periods against Regis.

Y et they chalked up their third victory with a score of 29 to 19. Bill Sweeney with nine points to his credit led the attack that won the contest. Bouncing back from their rather lack luster per­ formance, the team turned the pressure upon the Ramlets in no uncertain man­ ner up at the Fordham Gym. Paced by Joe Senec St. Peter’s ran up a six point lead by intermission time and went on to win, 26 to 17. “ R ed” Alexander played a fine game in the back court.

For their first game of the new year, St. Peter’s again traveled to Newark to play St. James High. Prep rooters were dismayed to see the opposition come from behind in the closing minutes to win the ball game, 31-29. After this bad start, the Maroon and W hite imme­ diately returned to the win column by beating St. Aloysius High. The final score was 32 to IS, Joe Senec having made 14 of the points. St. Peter’s then defeated Loyola of N ew York 45 to 20.

Jack Burke hit his top form, making a total of 10 points.

For the next game St. M ichael’s of Newark came to town to avenge their previous defeat. And they did. After a furious game, the Prep came out on the short end of a 39-28 score. But not at all discouraged, the team then traveled north to vanquish H oly Family of U nion City. Joe Coyle and Jack Burke sent shot after shot whizzing through the net and when the smoke of battle had cleared away, the Prep had 44 points to its opponent’s 8. And then in the return game with Regis, the Prep was forced to bow to a fast stepping squad to the tune of 34-20. T he next contest saw St. Peter’s drubbing a strong Alumni aggregation by a score of 42 to 29.

On February 29th, the Jesuit Tour­ nament commenced at Collins Gym. In the first round the Prep had little diffi­ culty in disposing of Loyola, 42 to IS. Bill Sweeney and A1 Portfolio were out­ standing both defensively and offen­ sively. Bob Sheridan and Jim Cuddihy played excellent floor games. In the semi-finals, St. Peter’s met Brooklyn Prep. Playing a strong squad who had the advantage of height and experience, the Petreans were pushed to the very limit. T hey led almost to the end.

Then the cup and medals slipped out of their hands as M ullens of Brooklyn stole the ball twice, retrieved several bad passes and led a sensational drive that netted ten points and a victory.

The score was 36-32. In the finals Brooklyn beat Regis.

Back to its usual schedule, the Prep defeated St. M ichael’s of Jersey City in a closely contested game at Collins Gym. Clossey and Senec paced the at­ tack with 12 and 8 points respectively. “ Bing” Crosby, hitherto unheralded, played an excellent game. H oly Family of Bayonne was the next victim of the smooth Prep attack. And in the follow­ ing contest, the Prep rallied in the last two periods to overcome a first half deficit and defeat St. Aloysius 32 to 24.

T he last game of the home court season was played against a tall and scrappy Frosh team from St. Peter’s College.

A1 Cereghino reached his top form of the season, making eight points. But the Prep’s hard fighting was futile. The Frosh won 37 to 21. In the final game, the spectators were left limp with ex­ citement as the Prep defeated St. M i­ chael’s of Jersey City in a hotly con­ tested battle, 32 to 31. Thus the record stood at 13 wins and S losses.

Last spring, sixty candidates responded to Coach D oolan’s call for track practice. As a nucleus for the new team, there were Leo M cGough, John Dolan, and Joe Sweeny. Everyone was optimistic and the new members were confident.

The first meet was with Bayonne to whom the Prep lost. T he second was a contested battle with Lincoln but since the best distance runner was out writh an injury, the Petreans were again subdued.

In the m eet with Memorial, the Prep came off with its first victory. Lotowicz, McGough and Dolan were the stars on the cinders and George Jahn hurled the shot for a first place. There then fol­ lowed another defeat at the hands of a powerful Union H ill squad. However, John Dolan showed himself to be a real champion in the mile run.

Then the Prep star waned and losses to St. Aloysius, Dickinson and Fordham Prep followed.

Our fortune was much better outside of the dpal meets, especially in the County M eet at Lincoln Park. The Prep team performed very creditably and Pete ijerm ak set a new record for the shotput.

During the winter, the nucleus of the 1940 team has been working indoors.

Sweeny, Fitzpatrick and Schlitt have performed well in the indoor meets.

Though it now faces a hard schedule, the team 4s confident of success in the present campaign.

Vast quantities of food w ere consum ed; an endless number of bottles of pop were em ptied; games too numer­ ous to m ention were played; young voices shouted and sang until huskiness quieted the din; all o f this happened on Keyser Island near South Norwalk, Conn., on Saturday, September ninth. For it was the annual Freshman Picnic and Joe Frosh was out to make a day of it. H e did.

Those of the faculty who were members of this expedi­ tion into the wild reaches of N ew England were awed by the am ount of energy expended within, the space of twelve hours. For those dreary wastes along the shore of the Sound had not seen so much activity in m any a year.

M onastic quiet is the usual order there; never was it so rudely shattered. But the “Nine Old M en” had a really fine tim e watching the “N ew D eal” enjoy itself so immensely.

The stage crew performed most notably. The four pictured above (Jeff Lydon, Tom Lally, Ed Keller, N eil Henry, in that order) took care of the stage business during the four performances of the annual play. So enthusiastic were they in creating the illusion of a realistic storm that at times the voices of the actors were scarcely audible. During the first performance, the zest of one of them was doused. H e was all set to jump through a bushel basket in order to simulate the noise of a door being broken open. There he stood, poised to leap.

The hand of the man who was reading the script was raised aloft to give him the signal at the exact moment. But alas, he never jumped: the actors skipped the cue and the basket was saved for another performance when the “business” went more smoothly. And the shooting of that blank pistol was another job that had to be timed per­ fectly. It was, but the time when it was shot off right behind someone dallying in the wings, there was a shout that the script did not call for.

Nevertheless, no one can deny that the work of the stage crew was a successful part of a most successful play. Those who work backstage labor without the spur of applause. Their satisfaction comes from a job well done.

A FRIEND

On Sunday, April seventh, four hundred and fifty fathers, sons and faculty members gathered in the Collins Gymnasium for the annual FathersSons Communion Breakfast. This event has be­ come a most successful feature of Prep social life.

At the speakers’ table, the principal guest was the Reverend Robert I. Gannon, S.J., President of Fordham University. Father Gannon was con­ fronted by numerous friends as well as by four hundred and fifty interested listeners. Winfield Bruder, speaking for the students, welcomed the fathers. Mr. James Kearney, in turn, spoke for the latter. John Roebuck occupied the center of the speakers’ table. M usic for the occasion was pro­ vided by the Messrs. Flynn (father and son) and

by Vincent DeBaun.

It is usual, of course, to say that such an affair was bigger and better than the preceding ones.

This year, however, everyone felt that there was a real foundation for such a remark.
