the Thomas J. Myers Memorial Trophy

at the end of the Dickinson game.

TH OM AS J. MYERS To the late, beloved "Tommy” Myers, zealous and respected Director o f Athletics here at the Prep fo r more than seventeen years, who ever looked upon our interests as his own and who, in his daily contacts with us, stood forth the true Catholic gentleman, we dedicate this 1945

Pe tr ea n .

May he rest in eternal peace.

"M r. Myers was St. Veter's. In him were all the qualities St. Veter's wanted to inject into the students, and he gave them to us; that is, character, confidence in ourselves, sportsmanship, and, most important, religion. St. Veterfs had a great man in Mr. Myers and, Father, I feel that St. Veter's can never get another Tom m y Myers. He was the only one. . . . Yes, our coach is gone, but his way of life, his ideals in sportsmanship and his fine example as a Catholic man live on in his boys. . . .”— From a letter of a Prep alumnus, now w ith the Armed Forces, on learning of the death of Mr. Myers.

ROBERT J. ALBERQUE Sodality 1, 2, 3 ; K.B.S. 3, 4 ; T rack 2, 3 ; Cross C ountry 3 ; Class B asketball 4. Bob's was a quiet hum or th a t attracted others. No stran g er to the cin­ der paths, and regular in his attendance a t Sodality and K.B.S., he should no t have too m uch difficulty in keeping Ridgefield P a rk a m em orable spot on New Jersey’s m ap.

GEORGE F. BARCY Sodality 1; Class Baseball 1, 2 ; Class Basketball 2, 3; V arsity Sw im m ing 3; H onor P in 1, 2. W e w ill always re­ call George as the m an who had a lot to say un til called upon. “ Barce” is one who has alw ays brought him self to the top. Thoroughly likeable, pleas­ an t, he w as always w orried by the gasoline shortage. A nd to sum up four years w ith h im : a nice fellow, a good friend.

EDW ARD J . BANNON Sodality 3, 4 ; K.B.S. 3, 4 ; V arsity Football 3, 4 ; Class Baseball 1, 2 ; Class Basketball 2, 3, 4 ; Boxing Club 1; VicePres. 2 ; Secretary 3. In his third and fourth years a t the Prep, Ed became widely known for his g re a t work on the grid­ iron as an end. W henever we of the 1945 class m ention Ed B annon’s nam e we will remem ­ ber him particularly for his athletic ability and his true sportsm anship.

GEORGE J . BILLINGS Sodality 1, 2f 3, 4 ; K.B.S. 1, 2, 3, 4 ; D ebating 2 ; Band 1, 2, 3, 4 ; T rack 3 ; Cross Country 3 ; Class Basketball 1, 3, 4 ; Class Bowling 4 ; Treas. 1; Gen. Exc. Medal 1; H onor Pin 1, 2, 3. A studious, quiet boy from Bogota - on - H ackensack, George w as a four-tim e honor m an. He fulfils L incoln’s “ . . . with m alice tow ards none . . He was an alw ays dependable bas­ ketball player. May he live long and prosperously.

ROBERT E. BIRD Sodality 1, 2, 4 ; K.B.S. 2; T rack 3, 4 ; Freshm an Football. The saying, “Big things come in sm all packages”, was re­ newed in Bob. Hum or was his best fa u lt; dullness and m onot­ ony left a group when he was near. Bob is one we’ll like to remember.

REGIS P. BOB Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4 ; K.B.S. 2, 3, 4 ; Class Baseball 1, 2 ; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3 ; V ice-Pres. 4. “A fine fellow and a good stu­ dent.” These words sum up our feeling tow ards Regis a t the Prep. His jovial character and sportsm anlike nature won him m any friends, while his serious judgm ents and regular honor cards gained him the respect of all.

THOMAS J . BOTTI Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4 ; K.B.S. 1, 2, 3, 4 ; PE TR EA N 4 ; D ebat­ ing 2 ; Class Baseball 1 ; . Class B asketball 2, 4 ; Jayvee Base­ ball 2 ; H onor P in 1. Tom ’s dis­ position will be a g re a t help in tackling life's problem s. Jovial and good-natured, he had a legion of friends a t the Prep. He m et life quietly, allowed nothing to w orry him , and al­ ways m anaged to see the lighter side of difficult situations. All success to him.

JA Y T. BRENNAN Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4 ; K.B.S. 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Class Baseball 2 ; Class Football 2 ; H onor P in 1. Com­ bining the qualities of gentle­ m an and scholar, and w ith a friendly disposition and an iron determ ination, Jay w as whole­ hearted and sincere. To know Jay as a classm ate w as a pleas­ ure ; to have him as a close friend w as a privilege. May the success which attended him here a t the Prep continue to follow him.

RAYMOND F. BROCK K.B.S. 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Secretary 4 ; T reasurer 2. R ay’s jovial dis­ position m erited him the friend­ ship of everyone w ith whom he cam e in contact. He w as a grand com panion and a real friend in need. W e shall al­ ways think of Ray as a friendly, studious fellow to whom we w ish the best of everything.

T hat is why those who knew him were his friends.

ROBERT C. BUCK Sodality 1, 4 ; Class Baseball 1, 2 ; Class Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Class Football 1; Class Bowl­ ing 4 ; Jayvee Basketball 3; Secretary 1; H onor Pin 3. Cheerfulness and charity char­ acterized “Big Bob” . H is sixinch sm ile lighted a room and of his generosity one m ight say w ithout exaggeration th a t his was of the best. A versatile athlete on court or diam ond his scholastic achievem ents placed him high intellectually.

RICHARD F. BRAY Sodality 1; P E T R E A N 4 ; De­ bating 1, 2 ; Cam era Club 1; A irplane Club 1; Class Base­ ball 1, 2 ; Class B asketball 1, 2 ; Class Football 1, 2; H onor Pin 1, 2. Over six feet of loyal P repster, Dick w as a tow er of efficiency both as class beadle and as an all-’round student. In his characteristically sincere way he has helped his class in sports and study. H ere’s w ish­ ing him success in his future endeavors.

JO S E P H J . BUCKMAN Sodality 1, 2, 3 ; K.B.S. 1, 2, 4 ; Class Baseball 1; S ecretary 1. Quiet, shy and loyal, Joe w as a generous P rep ster to the very core. H is fine personality m arked him ou t am ong Prepsters. N ever failing to flash his happy-go-lucky sm ile, he should go far.

CHARLES O. BUNDSCHUH Sodality 1 ; K.B.S. 1, 2, 4; Class Basketball 1; H onor Pin 1, 2, 3. Of a quiet and retirin g disposition, C harlie m ade his presence felt m ost during class. His honor pins a ttest to that. Now w ith the arm ed forces, his scholastic record points to fu­ tu re success in w hatever he may undertake.

ROBERT F. BURKE K.B.S. 4 ; PETROC 4 ; Debat­ ing 4 ; Tennis 3, 4. Bob’s w in­ ning sm ile and pleasant m an­ ner im m ediately won him a host of friends on his arrival a t the P rep. His unflagging energy and outstanding achieve­ m ents are testim ony of his de­ votion to his school. And his rapid strides as a debater and journ alist won him the adm ira­ tion of all.

VINCENT P. BU TLER Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4 ; K.B.S. 1, 4 ; D ebating 1, 2 ; V arsity Foot­ ball 4 ; Class Baseball 1, 2; Class Basketball 4 ; Class Foot­ ball 1, 2; Class Bowling 4 ; Gen. Exc. P rize 1, 2 ; H onor P in 1, 2, 3. V innie’s virtues were in­ num erable and his faults few. T hroughout his four years at the P rep he w as an honor m an and faithful Sodalist. For a laugh one had only to be near him. T ruly, when in need, one could call V innie a friend in­ deed.

JO H N J . BYRNE Sodality 4 ; K.B.S. 1, 4 ; Class Football 1. Calm and hand­ some—Jack was all of that, and m ore. His sparkling personal­ ity and w it made him welcome a t any P rep gathering. He had a way of m aking us look to the brighter side even in the m ost trying circum stance, rea­ son enough to m ake us wish him the best of luck in the future.

ROBERT B. BYRNE Sodality 1, 4 ; K.B.S. 1, 2, 3f 4; D ram atics 1; Track 2, 3; Cross Country 2, 3 ; Class Base­ ball 1, 2 ; Class Basketball 1 , 2 ; Class Football 1, 2 ; Class Bowl­ ing 4 ; H onor P in 1, 2. Bob was known for his ready smile. His ability to laugh off diffi­ culties made him a favorite with all. As a scholar his record was good, as his honor pins will testify. He is truly a fine representative of the Prep.

FR A N CIS P. C A PPA R E L L I Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4 ; K.B.S. 1, 2, 3, 4 ; PE TR EA N 4 ; Class Baseball 1, 2 ; Class B asketball 1, 2, 3, 4 ; H onor P in 1, 2, 3. The day F ra n k registered a t the Prep, she received a fine, loyal son. H is forever sm iling face w on for him the nicknam e “The Sm iling Irishm an.’* He has al­ ways been an excellent student. His brilliance in studies and his keen hum or in the classroom w ill alw ays be cherished by his classm ates.

CHARLES W . CLAUSING Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4 ; K.B.S. 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Class Baseball 1, 2 ; Class B asketball 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Sanctuary Society 4 ; H onor P in j, 2. Charles w as a gentle­ m an in every respect. H is m an­ ner, scholastic standing and school sp irit made him stand out in a crowd of fellows. His sparkling personality and good disposition m ade him a center of conversation. W hoever be­ friends Charlie has gained for him self a devoted and life-long friend.

LAW RENCE E. COMEY Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Sacristan 4 ; Consultor 1; T rack 3, 4; Cross C ountry 4 ; Class Base­ ball 2 ; Class Basketball 3, 4 ; Class Football 2 ; Class Bowl­ ing 4. L arry w as fortunate physically and m entally. His droll hum or made him a center of attraction in m any a friendly group. Possessing a very en­ gaging personality, he w as one of our m ore popular Seniors to whom now, reluctantly, we bid adieu.

FR A N CIS X. CO NN ELLY Sodality 1, 2 ; K.B.S. 2 ; De­ b atin g 2 ; D ram atics 1, 2, 3, 4 ; V ice-Pres. 4 ; T ennis 3, 4 ; Class Basketball 2 ; H onor P in 1, 2, 3. F ra n k ranked high in studies, dram atics and sports. H e m er­ ited an honor pin for each of his years a t the P rep and was outstanding both on the stage and on the tenn is court. His p ast record speaks for itself and a b rig h t horizon looms ahead.

ROBERT J . CONNOR Sodality 3, 4 ; PE TR EA N 4 ; Class Football 2 ; Class Bowling 4 ; V arsity Sw im m ing 3, 4 ; C aptain 4 ; H onor P in 2, 3. Coming to the P rep in second year, Bob quickly caught her sp irit and ways. One of the “firsts” on the sw im m ing team , he w as captain in his last year. A likeable fellow and gifted w ith a sense of hum or, Bob has all our best wishes.

ANTHONY M. CONTI Sodality 1; V arsity Football 3, 4 ; T rack 3, 4 ; Class. Base­ ball 1, 2 ; Class Basketball 1, 2 ; Secretary 4. A nthony was pop­ ular not only because he was a g reat tackle on the V arsity but because he was a good stu­ dent and a w ell-m annered gen­ tlem an. W e shall rem em ber him as a loyal, considerate, courte­ ous and helpful friend.

JO S E P H M.

GEORGE J. COSMOGLOS Gen. Exc. Medal 1; Gen. Exc. P rize 2, 3 ; H onor P in 1, 2, 3 ; A lgebra P rize 1. Cardinal New m an defined a gentlem an, in p art, as one who never in­ flicted pain. And since th a t first Septem ber m orn in 1941, George has exemplified this quality of a P repster to the utm ost of his ability. He was not only a gentlem an bu t also an excellent scholar. W ith his departure, we are losing a fine friend and a true student.

FRA NK G. CRONIN Sodality 1, 2 ; K.B.S. 1, 2, 3, 4 ; PETR EA N 4 ; Class Baseball 1, 2 ; H onor P in 1, 2. An un­ selfish, devoted friend, energetic w orker and perfect gentlem an— F ran k Cronin. Life was much richer when he w as in our m idst. His brigh t and reassur­ ing aspect of life wsa a fine influence. An ap t speaker, a shrewd thinker, and a m an of high ideals, he w as a desired friend of all.

P rize 2, 3 ; H onor Pin 2, 3. Joe quickly gained m any friends a t his entrance to the Prep with his w inning sm ile and m agnetic personality. He will be remem ­ bered best for his w ork on the gridiron. He was a loyal stu­ dent and tru e P repster, behind the team s in season and out of season; one could depend on him for that.

EDW IN R. DAVIS Sodality 1, 2, 3, 4 ; K.B.S. 1, 2, 3, 4 ; Class Baseball 2 ; Ger­ m an Club 3, 4 ; Classic Acad­ emy 3; M usic A ppreciation Club 2 ; H onor P in 1, 2, 3; M athem atics Prize 1, 2, 3 ; Gen. Exc. P rize 2. “W innie” was one of those happy students who derived genuine pleasure from his work. He will take away w ith him the memory of four years of interested stu d y ; and we will not forget his sparkling w it and perpetual good humor.

The Student Council, with representatives from every class in the school, was a core of freshened Prep spirit during the year. Under the guidance of Fr. Shalloe, S.J., the Student Counsellor, The League of the Sacred Heart found itself more fully organized than formerly. The students of each class chose a

definite day during each month for receiving Holy Communion, thus keeping intact a chain of Com足 munions in reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Senior Sodality, with Mr. LaCombe, S.J., as Moderator, sponsored a series of talks during the year with such well-known speakers as Fr. Delaney, S.J.,

The Sophomore Sodality, in a successful Christmas Drive, was able, under the guidance of Fr. Purcell, S.J., the Moderator, and Mr. Flynn, S.J., Assistant Moderator, to bring added joy to patients in hospi­ tals throughout the county, supplementing the work of the Sodality in this field throughout the year with

Fr. Shalloe, S.J., organized

_

a Sanctuary Society whose members served as altar boys at the Prep Functions in the Church during the year. The Orchestra, with Mr. Barrows, S.J., as Moder足 ator, and Mr. Krieg directing, played an important role at the Prep social gatherings during the year.

Providing background and intermission music during the annual play, present at Parents’ Night and at the Social in May, the musicians revealed talent that, with more experience, should make a widespread name for itself. Mr. Boyle, S.J., gave new impetus to the Camera Club this year. Fundamentals of photography were

stressed, demonstrations in dark-room technique were arranged, and towards the close of the year a contest was held for the best picture snapped and developed by a Prepster. Thomas Ward, a Junior, won the prize. Mr. McNally and Fr. R. Lynch, S.J., helped, by their experience and suggestions, towards an inter­ esting and educational year.

Petroc The Prep newspaper, now in its second year of existence, ranks among the better high school news­ papers in the country, according to the Columbia Press Association. This standing is due in no small way to the untiring energy of the Moderator, Mr. McBride, S.J., the editors, and the willing staff, who have spent many long hours to make of Petroc the mirror of Prepsters and the Prep.

Beaudevin Debating Society This year again, the Beaudevin Debating Society, comprised of members of Junior and Senior years, revealed its forensic ability in a series of debates and displays of oratory at home and abroad. Highlight of the year was the work of Robert Kelly, a Junior, who captured the national award in the American Legion Oratorical Contest, held dur­

ing the spring. Successive victories in city, county district, state and sectional contests qualified Bob to compete against regional champions of the whole nation. It was the first time that a New Jersey representative won the contest, tribute alike to Hud­ son County, Jersey City, Mr. Norton, S.J., and Mr. Marr, the victor’s coaches, and to Bob Kelly himself.

Mr. Nenno, S.J., undertook again this year the task of guiding Freshman and Sophomore debaters in the Collins Debating Society. Besides weekly meet­ ings whose purpose was to develop speaker tech­ nique, there were debates with representatives of Xavier, Regis, Loyola, and Fordham. The Chemistry Club organized by Fr. Thiry, S.J., made preparations during its first year for micro­

chemical work. Among its members', Raymond Wil­ helm, a Senior, brought honor to himself, to the club and to the school, with his excellent standing in the annual talent search conducted by the Westinghouse Corporation. Fie was one of three hundred throughout the country who received honorable mention for their work in competition with a total of two thousand contestants.

Another Suitor! Backstage

In addition to radio plays for Christmas and Easter, the Prep Tiramatic Society offered a highly successful December presentation of Shakespeare’s "The Taming of the Shrew” on two successive eve­ nings. The audience reaction assured the cast that their weeks of practice had not been in vain. The uniformly good performances did much to foster an appreciation for the Bard of Avon, and each mem­ ber of the cast obtained the invaluable experience that comes of performing behind the footlights. The hidden work of stagehands and of Fr. J. Lynch, S.J., Mr. Nenno, S.J., and Mr. Marr, the coach, was a highly contributing factor to the smooth and satisfy­ ing production. We are looking forward eagerly to next year’s playbill. Where’s Kate?

Library Staff

This year saw the renovation of the Prep Library and an ever increasing number of new books on the shelves. The efforts of Fr. Murray, S.J., and Mr. Kruse, the Librarian, coupled with the work of the Library staff have produced an efficiently managed and up-to-the-minute library of whose benefits all Prepsters may avail themselves—and do. Anyone who attended the football games during

the year could not but become aware of the waving arms and high jumps and ordered shouts coming from the base of the Prep stands. The cheerleaders were holding forth down there, calling on loyal Prepsters to back their efforts and the efforts of the team, whether in victory or defeat. Mr. Flynn, S.J., coached the group progressively, introducing new cheers and adding new zest to the older ones. Let’s give a "Locomotive” for the cheerleaders!

The Band The Band again this year, with Mr. Barrows, S.J., and Mr. Krieg as mentors, provided a colorful background at the Prep football games. Fresh snap, improved formation, and general interest on the part

of the individual members resulted in a wonderful whenever the Band appeared on the field. We trust that next years group will be at least as good; with some of this year’s veterans re­ turning, it should be.

Chapoutot

On October 1st a determined Prep eleven lifted the curtain on their 1944 football season, engaging a powerful Xavier team at High School Field. Coach Ed Sladowski’s Petreans jumped to a six-point lead early in the first quarter, but Xavier’s aerial attack was not to be denied; we met defeat 12-6. Bob Piatkowski set up the Prep’s lone tally by recover­ ing a Xavier fumble on the opponents’ 26-yard line; after Joe Cooney and Paul Paytas battered their way

to the 2-yard marker, Joe crashed over on a fake reverse for the score. The Prep line won the admira­ tion of everyone by their stubborn defensive play, with Joe Cummins, "Doc” Doherty and Ralph Diverio particularly impressive in performance. For our first game at Roosevelt Stadium in two years we encountered a highly-touted Emerson squad riding on the crest of an opening-game victory. Despite the superb passing of Ed Roper, the clock

stopped us on Emerson’s 2-yard line with two downs remaining. Score: 6-0, with the Grand Streeters over­ come. The following week-end saw Memorial providing the opposition, and again Ed Roper sparked the Petrean attack. The first half was marked by a punting duel, interrupted only by a freak Memorial touchdown—the only score of the game. Roper dominated the second half with accurate pitching to his ace wing-men, Ed Bannon and Jim O’Brien. Twice the Prep attack drove into Memorial territory, but it was stalled by the smallest margins. More than once Vinnie Freda’s fine backing of the line Roper, Paytas, and Freda buck Memorial

shone out and prevented Memorial’s further threats from materializing. With hopes still high the Maroon-and-White en­ tered the Snyder fray, determined to crack into the victory column and upset the six-point jinx hanging heavily over our heads. Neither side made any threatening gestures in the first half of the struggle because of the fine defensive work displayed by both lines. On a kick return, Snyder brought the ball down to our 2-yard line and on the third down managed to reach pay-dirt on a quarterback sneak. The Prep bounced right back with the ensuing kickoff which Joe Cooney ran from his own 24-yard line Al Paccico breaks through at the Snyder game

Freda kicks off at Bayonne

to the 40. Banging away at the middle of the line, the Grand Streeters moved to the Snyder 47. A pass from Roper to Ed Bannon netted 14 yards for a second straight first down. Paul Paytas and Joe Cooney hit the center for gains of six and seven yards. A1 Paccico bolted through the same spot for 11 yards, and the fourth successive first-down, plac­ ing the ball on the Snyder 10. But here the offensive bogged down and, though the Prep advanced into Snyder territory, opportunity faded and the Petreans left the field on the short end of a 6-0 score. Fully aroused by our recent setbacks, the Prep team, now at the peak of strength, travelled to the Oil City Stadium to post its first victory of the action against Demarest

watching the Lincoln game

season. It was a field day for our three speedy backs, Cooney, Karolewski and Nesbitt, who romped over the Bayonne team to register eighteen points early in the contest. Bayonne fought back, passing to two successive touchdowns. But as they were battering at the goal for a third and tying score, the Prep line held fast and swarmed over the Bayonne back each time they attempted to move the ball. Cooney was the outstanding back in the game, while among the line-men, John Malley, Tony Conti, and Jay Sweeney did much to bring home the victory. In a final bid for the City Championship, St. Peter’s toppled before mighty Lincoln, 7-0, in an extremely hard-fought night game. The Petreans and Dickinson

Memorial line-up

were unable to capitalize on a few opportunities and the Lions’ aggressiveness finally told the story. "J.P.” Sutton and Ed Bannon kept the team on its toes all night, and their fine play, with that of Joe Cum­ mins, drew praise from those in attendance. In the season’s most impressive show of offensive power, the Maroon-and-White outdid themselves by trouncing Demarest 21-0. Ralph Diverio, our firststring all-County tackle this year, did yeoman’s work through the fray, recovering a fumble for a touchdown and throwing the opposition for several losses. Fleet-footed Al Paccico further demoralized the Demarest colors by galloping 80 yards through the entire Demarest aggregation, returning the second-half kick-off for a touchdown. After Artie Heck had smashed through to upset the Hobokenites in the end zone, causing a safety, Joe Cooney

climaxed a last-period drive by driving from the 12-yard mark for a touchdown. Ed McGinnis neatly placed the ball between the uprights for the extra point. Smarting over last year’s stunning defeat at Hill­ top’s hands, the Prep squad entered this year’s con­ test determined to reverse the tables. But Dickinson again trounced us to the tune of 13-0. Both tallies came when deep in our own territory. Freda, Mc­ Laughlin and Diverio did much to stop a soaring score-board. The team’s success ought not be reckoned by num­ bers alone, though even these show the closeness of the games. It was a hard-fought, hard-played sea­ son. We’re looking for next year’s games, sparked by many of this year’s seasoned veterans.

Varsity Basketball An unusually experienced array of material greeted Coach Tom O’Brien at the outset of the 1944-45 season, giving assurance that a highly successful campaign was in the offing. Starting off in fine style, the team invaded Hobo­ ken to topple the Stevens Jayvee 25-19. Tom O’Keefe led the attack with 13 points and "Jake”

Mgr. Cullen

Spanarkel was runner-up with six points, giving evi­ dence of the role he was to play during the season. Riding on the crest of this victory, we opened the City Championship race by trouncing St. Aloysius 55-34. The Union Hill game brought defeat 32-18, but Tom O’Keefe exhibited one of the finest defensive performances the county saw during the season, holding Harry Donovan, the Hillers’ great scorer to two foul shots while tallying nine points himself. Bouncing back from this defeat, the Petreans racked up successive victories against Holy Family, Bayonne, 54-3 5, and against Don Bosco, 42-40. Tom O’Keefe’s 17 points were not enough to stave off defeat before a determined Bayonne Tech quintet, 46-38. Following this, disaster again befell us on a foreign court at the hands of Bayonne High, 43-38. The Dickinson game, which came next, saw the Prep a 26-14 winner, with Tommy Smith taking scoring honors for his 12 points. In a return match with Stevens Jayvee, the Prepsters won out 36-22. Paced by Smith and O’Keefe, the Maroon-andWhites were on the winning side against Snyder, 51-49, in a very close contest. Sharing the limelight was "Jake” Spanarkel with a 9 tally. His late-in-thegame field goal clinched the victory. The Prep dribblers opened the traditional Jesuit Tournament by trouncing a rather strong Loyola team, 48-30. Tom Smith, playing his best game of the season, scored 25 points, within one point of tying the high-scoring record for the tourney. At the half of the semi-finals against Brooklyn Prep we stood on the losing side of a 21-18 score. In the third period, however, Tom O’Keefe broke the ice by outmaneuvering three Brooklyn players and sink­ ing a lay-up, to send us into the lead. At this point the team started a powerful drive and the game ended with the count 46-39 in our favor. Entering the final round, the Prep Cagers encountered a very talented Xavier combine which snatched an early lead, holding it for the remainder of the game. A sparkling third-period rally by St. Peters fell short and the game ended with the Prep on the short end of a 53-43 score. Again the Prepmen tasted defeat in a very close contest with Demarest, 45-43. For the second time this year, Dickinson, our traditional rival on the gridiron, tumbled before the determined onslaught of our courtmen, 38-34. In a thrill-packed contest

that followed, "Jake” Spanarkel, who totaled 11 points during the fray, sparked a last-period offensive which overcame a 7-point deficit and topped Brook­ lyn Prep 3 5-34. On January 29 the Petreans won again against Snyder 40-28. Tom O’Keefe and Tommy Smith shone again with 15 and 12 points repectively, but even these accomplishments were eclipsed by Jack Geraghty’s masterful defensive play. After over­ Tom Smith

coming Newark Academy 39-29, we crossed the river and were once again subdued by the Xavier Cadets, 50-34. Not discouraged by this episode, and with Tom O’Keefe in a scoring position, we returned to our former stride, conquering Don Bosco 49-31, and Holy Family, Bayonne, for the second time with a score of 54-3 5. Jim Luther’s accurate eye account­ ed for nine points and preserved the Prep’s unblem­ ished city record when the Grand Streeters overcame

Lincoln 40-36 on the opposition court. Ed Flan­ nery’s aggressive floor game in large measure stemmed Lincoln’s late-in-the-game rally which threatened our lead. The City Championship title was secure with the conquest of St. Aloysius, 45-29. With consistently fine playing by our courtmen, with all-county honors for Tom O’Keefe, and with Tommy Smith garnering the most-valuable-player laurels in the Hudson County Catholic High School Tournament, the 1944-45 season came to a memo­ rable close.

after a close duel with Norm Paetzold of the Essex county school. Tom Sollas, a promising Junior, was third, to be followed by the old reliables, Norman Hughes, Bill Funge and Bill Davis. St. Benedict’s and Hughes

Prep, state champions in 1943, subdued the Grand Streeters 24-31, although George Finn again won individual honors, with Sollas taking another third place. On Columbus Day, a three-way meet was con­ tested with the Prep’s old city rivals, St. Michael’s. The senior team bowed 26-29, the junior team also lowered its colors', but the freshmen rode to victory 24-31, to mark up the first success of an undefeated season. Tom Sollas "arrived” in the senior race when he took individual honors in the brilliant time of 13 minutes, 37 seconds. Among his victims was the

great Ed Carney, county and state half-mile champion. After these successive defeats, St. Peter’s embarked upon a winning streak which saw them defeat St. Aloysius, Lincoln and Xavier, in that order. Sollas was individual winner in the last two meets, but lost to Al Gunnell in the Aloysian triumph. The junior team had easy victories over Lincoln and St. Aloysius, while the freshman team rolled on over Lincoln’s frosh. Bill Wagner was coming to the fore in the junior races, while Dan Holleran and Frank Pisano were leading the freshmen to victory. The dual meets ended with a record of four vic­ tories as against two defeats. One championship meet, the N.Y.U. invitational meet, was entered in

October and saw St. Peter’s place fourth among the New Jersey teams in the race. Tom Sollas led our contingent, placing fifty-first in a field of five hun­ dred. With the three big meets of the season now closing in on him, Mr. Patterson lost Norman Hughes, a dependable Senior, because of illness. The city meet was held on Election Day. The Prep finished in a second-place tie with St. Aloysius, with St. Michael’s the victors. The first Metropolitan Jesuit Cross-Country Championships were next on the bill. The senior and freshman teams won, and Pisano and Holleran again finished on top in the

individual competition. Sollas was third in the senior race, while Wagner ran his best race of the season, helping the Prep to a wide margin of victory. The county title meet on November 19th closed the season in triumph for the frosh, who overcame St. Michael’s with Pisano a "triple-champion” by reason of his first-place finish. This freshman came within one second of tying the course record in this race. The senior team enlisted the aid of their old team-mate, Paul Paytas, for this race, but the genial redhead was not in his best track condition, and the team had to be satisfied with a fourth-place finish. The junior team, led by Wagner, was third in their race. And so the season ended. Two trophies now rest

Coach Patterson with Capt. G. Finn

in the trophy case as a result of the team’s efforts. Highlights of the indoor season were the winning of the National Championship mile relay race for

Prep schools on February 24th, with G. Finn, Aslanian, Paytas, and Funge doing the honors; the C.Y.O. Northern New Jersey Championship Meet on March 17th when Paytas came in first in the 440, Finn second in the 880 with the excellent time of 2:03. The Stuyvesant Meet, the Melrose Games, the N.Y.A.C. Meet, the K. of C. Meet, all saw the Petreans doing representative work on the boards. Placing second in the Hudson County, the Catho­ lic Hudson County, and the Catholic State Cham­ pionship meets of 1944, and winning ten out of thirteen dual meets during its season, the 1944 per­ formances were an omen of a bright 1945 outdoor season. With a number of veterans on hand to strengthen the many promising prospects who re­ ported for practice, Coach George Patterson had high hopes for the new season which opened on April 11th with a dual meet against Regis.

Baseball A 15 -game schedule was arranged by Coach Phil Cummings for the 1945 baseball season. The Maroonand-Whites were to have home-and-home games with Dickinson, Snyder and Lincoln, and with St. Michael’s of Union City, Bayonne, and Bayonne Tech. Memorial, Xavier and Regis were also on the schedule. Four veterans returned to the team this year. Charlie Doerrler, holding down second base, Ray O’Brien at third, Joe Cooney in center field,

and Marty Nesbitt at right field, were on hand last year, too. Other Prepsters with last-year experience were Joe Fahy, pitcher, Gabe Corbo, catcher, Joe Gattuso and Bill McDonald, first base, Jack Flana­ gan, shortstop, and Flarry Fox and Al Paccico in the outfield. The Grand Streeters looked forward to their open­ er against Regis of Manhattan, determined to equal and better last year’s six-nine record.

Tennis Off to an early start this year, the tennis team gave promise of being a stiff competitor in the County Championship matches. With most of last year’s veterans reporting for practice, the future looked doubly reassuring. Mr. Egan found Joe Safa­

ryn, Frank Connelly, and Tim Gerne on hand, and along with them, two other seniors, Bob Burke and Ed Fischer, showed form. The Juniors were repre­ sented by John Aumente and Stephen Piga, and the sophomore and freshman tryouts were encouraging.
