“ H avin g been perfected in a short space, he fulfilled a long tim e.” T hese words o f the B ook o f W isdom are applied by our H o ly M other Church, to one o f her youthfu l saints, St. Stanislaus K ostka, in the M ass which has been composed in his honor. H e w as ju st at the beginning o f his career in the Society o f Jesus, fields white w ith the harvest w ere ready fo r the reapers beckoned him on. T o our human w ay o f thinking surely here w as an instrument w orth y o f being employed in the divine w ork o f gath­ering in souls, “ but H is w ays are not our w ays,” since H e took him H om e before he had really begun to feel the heat and the labor o f the day.

M r. W illiam A . W a rd w as just at the beginning o f L ife ’s H ighw ay. St. M ichael’s Paroch ial School, St. P eter’s Prep, and Fordham C ollege had successively stamped him w ith their seals o f ap p ro val; each w as proud to call him son and to be his “ A lm a M ater.” H is teachers and his classmates, all w ere glad and ready to vouch fo r the sterling noble character o f W illiam A . W ard , their form er pupil and school­mate. T h e y presaged success fo r him in w hatever line o f endeavor he w ould choose.

L ast September, under the guidance o f one these form er teachers, Rev. P . M. Collins, S. J., he began to teach at St. P eter’s H ig h School. H is teaching w as but a side branch to his m ain preparation as he w as also studying A ccountancy L a w and Public Speaking.

A g a in it w as the case o f man proposing and God disposing. “ H avin g been per­fected in a short space he had fulfilled a long tim e.” O n M onday, Novem ber seventh, he taught school w ith his usual enthusiasm in spite o f a severe headache. A s he w as leaving school M onday afternoon he bade F r. Collins and his fellow -teachers his usual cheerful “ Good afternoon.” T o the hope expressed that he w ould be better by W e d ­nesday’s class, he an sw ered : “ Oh, I ’ll be a ll right.” O n his arrival home he decided to lie down, but a short tim e afterw ards he w as seized w ith convulsions, due to acute indigestion. T h e priest and doctors Were summoned and although they did a ll they could, it w as o f no avail as God’s A n g el had summoned him to meet his M aster. H e had alw ays led an exem plary Christian life , he had hearkened to Jesus’ w ords : “ W atch and p ra y ; fo r you know not the day nor the hour.” H e w as ready when the M aster called. H eaven’s gain is our loss.

T h e suddenness o f his death w as a shock to the F aculty and the whole student body o f St. P eter’s, but to none more than to his fe llow teachers and pupils at M anresa H all. H e had only taught eight w eeks, but this w as not too short a time fo r his young proteges to learn that he w as a fa ith fu l and true friend.

“ W hat is worth doing is wortfi doing w ell"

A visit to our classroom any day during :he year would have disclosed John sitting in the first bench near the black-board, busily engaged in doing nothing; at least it w ould seem that John w as doing noth­ing. H ow ever, had the visit been pro­longed w hile the professor asked ques­tions, John’s true occupation w ould have been discovered. T h e visitor would learn that he had been “doing nothing” but pay­ing attention. John is so quiet that there are times when one even doubts his pres­ence in the room. N o one yet has been known to draw him into an argument. T his however does not mean that he lacks aggressiveness, and we are confident that in his determined, quiet w ay John w ill go fa r along the pathw ay o f attainment.

Seton is a livin g proof that Jersey C ity is not yet hopeless. A multitude o f good things m ight be said about our blond classmate, but perhaps the greatest tribute to his character is to say that he is mod­est. H e has had a career that could easily have turned a w iser head. H e has alw ays shown a keen interest in class affairs and he is an exam ple o f the true St. P eter’s spirit. H e w on the highest intellectual honor in the school when he was named editor-in-chief o f the Petrean. H e has also held office in the Senior Sodality and has been an active member o f the Beaudevin Debating Society. H is tastes however, do not run to the charac- terictics o f the grind. In his stay amongst us Seton has alw ays been marked by his sm iling good nature, w hich has endeared him to his comrades and made us happy to call him “ friend.”

T ru ly the fam e and g lo ry o f St. P eter’s must be widespread, indeed, i f it can reach the ears of the inhabitants o f W o r­cester, M a ss .; fo r from that distant place there arrived one day a chap ready to aid us in our final struggle. T h e moment w e cast our eyes upon H en ry w e could see the reflection o f a determined and refined character. O ur first impression w as cor­rect, fo r he soon displayed his ability in m astering the classics. Unbelievable as it m ay seem, H enry quickly overcam e all the difficulties w hich lie in a newcom er’s w ay, and not only that, but he also won the rew ard o f w ork, testimonials. H is decision to come so fa r to finish his course proves our case, that all noble and illustrious men wind up in good old St. P eter’s.

T h e dram a draw s to a close and soon the curtain w ill descend on our high school career. B ut the completion o f any object alw ays brings to our mind the incidents leading up to the final accomplishment and so as w e stand on the brink o f a new life w e reflect w ith pleasure and fond m em ory on the happy moments frau gh t w ith jo ys o f ca re free youth w hich w e have spent during our high school course.

O n September 16, 1918, w e assembled in the school yard fo r the first time, feeling like foreigners in a strange country. N o doubt fear and aw e w ere more prevalent that day than joy. T h irty -fo u r o f the newcom ers w ere chosen to form F irst Y e a r A . T o our lot fe ll the good fortune o f having M r. A . E . Fuller, S. J., fo r our teacher. H ig h School proved serious business and w e w ere soon w inding our w ay through the intricacies o f L atin and A lgebra. O ur first taste o f St. P eter’s spirit w as pleasing and soon F irst Y e a r A w as taking the lead in Junior activities, producing the champion basketball team and the only class paper o f the year. O ther honors came in the w ay o f leading the school in the amount subscribed fo r the United W a r W o rker Cam paign and show ing the w ay to the Junior division o f the school in the athletic drive. E re w e had madte ourselves fu lly at home, w e found the end o f our first year draw ing to a close. T h e final event o f the year w as an outing to N ew Dorp, S. I.

W e le ft M r. F uller w ith regrets fo r indeed he had endeared him self to us all by the kind interest w hich he took in each individual o f the class. A ssu redly the recol­lection o f his helpfulness is imprinted on our m em ory as deeply as the pleasure o f that year. W ith a ll the pomp due the occasion, w e assum ed.the ro le o f Second-Y ear men. Fortune again favored us in bestowing on us M r. H . C. Greenwell, S. J., as the skipper o f the ship o f knowledge. Since w e w ere more mature now, we w ere treated to a new intellectual food, about w hich w e had m any forebodings, namely Greek.

H ow ever, this food proved to be ve ry indigestible and we are still suffering from Grecian dyspepsia. It w as the task o f M r. Lucas, S. J., to imbue us w ith the spirit o f Xenophon and H om er but he found us entirely unsympathetic to the beauty, so called, o f classical Greek.

A t this juncture w e met Caesar, and m any of us are still wondering how there can be so many people in the w orld to-day a fter a ll that Caesar killed.

In form ing Second Y e a r A , a number from F irst Y e a r D w ere added to' the original class o f i - A bringing new talent to the class. A considerable w eight was also added when a rustic youth from Red B ank joined our midst. Second Y e a r w as a continuation o f progress in studies tempered w ith m any enjoyable times. T h e class outing at the end o f the year was a huge success and one that w e shall never forget. It w as a fitting clim ax to a ve ry successful year.

Carried on the fleeting w ings o f time w e arrived at the third lap o f our journey through St. P eter’s. W ith great jo y we learned that M r. Greenwell, S. J., would again guide us through the maze o f difficulties that the knowledge seeker finds con-

fro n tin g him. T o M r. W a lsh fe ll the enviable position o f teaching us chemistry, w hile the budding linguists had as tutors M r. Conroy, S. J., in Spanish, and M r. K e lly , S. J., in French.

D a not doubt, kind reader, that w e ever perform ed chemical experim ents m erely because St. P eter’ is still standing intact. T h a t isn’t our fau lt but “ D oc” W alsh becam e several hairs balder in preventing us from blow ing up the school, not that w e w ere B olsheviks but w e w ere interested in the upward advancement o f things. I'n T h ird Y e a r w e learned fro m Cicero, “ W h o w as the greatest man that ever lived,” and if the N orth P o le w as ever discovered, whose statue ought to be placed on it? ” Xenophon tried to m ake us run all over Greece fo llow in g C yrus in the A nabasis but w e p referred to see A m erica first and so ignored the poor fellow .

Geom etry first came into prominence in our Junior year and although w e thought w e knew it before, w e learned fo r the first time w hy a straight line is not crooked and m any other such things. I t w as in third year that our class became known fo r its debating ability. Debates w ere even conducted in Spanish. T h e Junior Class N ight was one o f m errim ent and enjoym ent fo r all.

N o doubt the term ination o f our third year brought m ingled feelings o f jo y and sorrow . M r. G reenwell, w ho by this tim e had become an idol in the heart o f every member o f the Class o f 1922 w as to leave us to enter upon his course in theology at W oodstock. H is name shall ever be associated w ith practical know ledge and many happy times, that w e have had at St. P eter’s. Then, w hile w e w ere glad to have successfu lly completed another year, still it brought us nearer to the time when we must leave our A lm a M ater.

Fourth Y e a r w ith a ll its importance conferred on us the toga o f Seniorship. U nder the leadership o f M r. Garner, S. J., the entire class set out w ith earnestness to achieve the final honors w hich the successful completion o f Fourth Y e a r would bring. M r. G arner w as a newcomer to St. P eter’s, but it did not take long fo r us to get acquainted. W e soon fe lt at ease under his guidance so that acquaintanceship soon ripened into esteem and affection on our part. W e entered a new field in P h ysics under the able direction o f Father Kiehne, S. J. A s an expounder of the principals o f Geom etry w e also had Father Kiehne. M r. Gilleran, S. J., took charge o f the French class w hile M r. Joyce managed the Spanish class.

Latin w as the least o f our w orries but the educators having decided to continue Greek, w e started to show them w hat a foolish move they made. H ow ever, school, like life cannot be a ll jo y so I suppose G reek must continue to exist.

A s the day draw s near when w e shall receive our diplomas, the recognition of our four years o f study, w e look forth w ith all the confidence o f youth to the future. A n d w ith us look fo rth the Jesuits w ho have taught us know ledge o f life itself and life ’s object. T hese self-sacrifiting men gaze into futurity w ith fatherly care to see i f the seeds w hich they have planted in our hearts and minds w ill blossom forth in later life , and w ith G od’s help they w ill, fo r no one o f us who have come under their ennobling influence w ill fa ll by the wayside. A s the rising sun sends forth its rays into every nook and corner to lighten a darkened world, so St. P eter’s sends fo rth her sons o f 1922 into every field o f endeavor illumined w ith intellectual light that they m ay enlighten a w orld darkened by materialism, im m ortality and spiritual

ignorance.

It w as here a number o f new faces made their appearance' in our midst, new in the sense that they m igrated from another section, w hich had been dismembered. D uring this year came a fu ll appreciation of St. P eter’s. T h at loyalty, characteristic o f the school, took possession o f us. W e proved it by the generous quota w e gave to athletics. W e were also the leading class in the athletic drive. T hese accomplishments made 3-B the cynosure o f all eyes. T w o picnics to Palisade P a rk wound up our third and thus fa r most successful year.

W e returned this year, it seems, but to say good-bye. W h at a difference three years had made. L on g'tro u sers hid the shapely ca lf o f even Verdon, the younger. Cheeks, once smooth, bore m arks o f a more or less keen-edged razor. But there was w ork to be done, an end to be attained, so w e opened our text-books w ith determination.

Along life’s highway we walk, schoolmates, journeying on, filled with the confidence of youth. Ever onward we travel, while the ribbon of life unravels and recedes, the past making way for the present, the future always ahead, hidden in a go’.den haze. As we pass the milestones, we survey the on-coming ranks. In them we find a vacancy, a space high-piled with memories of him by whom it was occupied, records of the virtues, the achievements of one whom God, in His infinite wisdom saw fit to call unto Himself. We see him again, in his place in the ranks, smiling, gentle­manly, true. A friend who is all that a friend can be, a student of unques­tioned merit, an enthusiastic sportsman, and above all a devout child of God. We hear again of his appointment to the managership of the football team, which position he was to occupy next fall-—a tribute to his business ability, evidence of his popularity. We see him once more winning a place on the C e p h e a n Staff, by virtue of his talent and his keen interest in school affairs.

Steadily the ranks pass on, and the sad eyes of every marcher turn to the space occupied by those treasured memories of Ray Whalen, while a silent prayer for his welfare rises to heaven from every heart.

T h e dawn o f our last year at St. P eter’s had at last been born to us, and w e jo y fu lly found ourselves hailed as the men w ho constitute Senior Prep.

Seniors! w hat a glorious t it le ! and yet w hile w e w ere in our in fan cy w e feared w e should not be w orthy o f the name, but time has been w afted on the fleeting w ings o f the past and the age o f our career as seniors has at last reopened. N o w we review w ith pride the deeds o f a year that has been crowned w ith the laurefs o f our activities as true Senior Prep men.

Venus in her wisdom gave us an abundance o f love fo r our A lm a M ater, and the first signs o f our school spirit was made m anifest w ith the opening o f the football season. T h e m ajority o f the important positions o f the team were held down by men o f Four A , w hile the all-im portant position o f quarter-back w as supervised by our noble president. In basketball and baseball the mainstays w ere born from among us, w hile in dram atics w e sent men w orthy o f the roles they played. T h eir ability as Thespians had no small part in m aking the annual p lay a success.

W hen Fordham and X avier sent across the w ater a challenge to debate, again our class w as up and doing, and four out o f the eight men w ho represented St. P eter’s hailed from F ourth Y e a r A .

T h e Senior Sodality, one o f our boasts, w as w ell attended by our men and due no doubt to the keen interests displayed by our representatives helped the Society to bloom and bear fru it as it has.

D urin g the year 1921-1922 a school paper was begun and under the guidance o f our E ditor-in -C h ief the paper achieved success in the field o f journalism , and has become far-fam ed both in school and secular activities.

W ith the setting o f the sun on our prep days, w e extend a hearty invitation to Junior prep to step into our place and carry on the activities o f St. P eter’s w ith like success.

A s a flcw er unfolds its petals, so did our last year at St. P eter’s bloom forth. U nder the pleasing title o f “ Seniors” w e set out on our last year as students o f St. P eter’s Prep. Fortunately none o f our section had toppled into the abyss o f failure, and it w as w ith jubilant hearts that w e entered our last class. T h e enticing call o f the gridiron summoned four from our number and on the field they played in a manner characteristic o f St. P eter’s men. T h e Senior Banquet w as one never to be forgotten.O n this memorable night there appeared in our own class a w ealth o f talent whichw as ve ry credibly displayed. U ntil a late hour songs and speeches re-echoed through the hall proclaim ing the ardent spirit o f the class.

In the m id-year exam s, none o f our barks w ere w recked upon the obstructing boulders o f knowledge in the stream o f learning, and w ith graduation as our goal we set forth w ith rapid strokes.

In the annual p lay w e w ere w ell represented, having four o f our men in the cast, o f whom w e are justly proud. It Was about this time that the opposing debating teams bowed in submission before the Ciceronian eloquence o f our young orators. Three o f our members graced the basketball court and w e claim the distinction of producing the captain.

T h e Petrean,, cur quarterly paper is now firm ly established and to Junior Prepwe entrust the mission to boost it to the skies.

A nd now the dream o f four years had faded into a reality. Graduation has at last arrived. T h e friendships o f four years must now be torn asunder. L et us heed the immortal w ords o f V irg il “ S ic volvere P arcas” and bear it w ith a strong heart.

F arew ell St. P eter’s, upon leaving you, w e w ill endeavor to hold up your envious renutaticn and no matter what w alk in life w e tread, it is our fondest desire to be known as your sons and alumni.

T h e ascent w as long and tedious at times, but finally w e have reached another resting place, the completion o f ju st another year o f H ig h School. N o w as we stand upon the heights and gaze into the blissfu l va lley o f happy days, irrigated by the river o f K now ledge that wanders and widens, and w aters many fields, our mem­ories turn and linger on those events o f the years w hich have sunk into eternity.

A s soon as the class elections w ere over in w hich San fo rd M cC arth y w as chosen president, w e prepared fo r a further expedition over the seas o f literature and science. T h e Gleaner, our class paper, w as the fru it o f our efforts in this direction and from the fountain o f literature have sprung numerous and noteworthy articles. E ver standing fo r all that is best in E nglish it soon became a model o f emulation fo r other classes.

N or w as the clarion- call o f the gridiron unheeded. M any w ere called arid although few w ere chosen, the four w ere found ever loyal, ever-ready and eager to fight fo r the name o f St. P eter’s. L ater in the Thespean efforts, no class w as more prominent than that w hich had the names o f tw elve o f its sons engraved on the program . In basketball, baseball or in the athletic drive, they w ere equally enthused in prom oting the name o f the school. W hether it be athletics, scholastic endeavors, on the debating platform , or even before the footlights, alw ays has T h ree A responded nobly. E ver have its sons been animated by the spirit o f St. P eter’s. W e, your sons, w ill a lw ays be loyal to you, our A lm a M ater so royal. E ver have w e looked w ith pride upon the banner o f maroon and white, thou guiding mother, and w e shall con­tinue to do so down the long avenue o f futurity. These have been and alw ays w ill be the cries o f Section A , Class o f ’23. M ay your banners still guide us w herever

It w as a sturdy little band that assembled on a certain m orning last September beneath the banner o f T h ird Y e a r H igh, Section B . T h e big “ C olgate C lock,” over­shadowing the M etropolitan district w as turning the hour o f nine when the stentorian notes o f the school bell echoed its notes o f welcome, sounding like m artial taps w afted o’er the g*lens at sundown, and suddenly dying and leaving but premonitions o f the future to the mind o f the youthful soldier.

T hus w as our modest introduction to Junior year. Im m ediately our journey through the m aze o f classics and science w as inaugurated w ith E ugene T arra n t as president; Charles M cM ahon, as vice-president; Thom as H arty, as secretary and M ichael M ahon as treasurer. F o r ten long months under the zealous tutelage o f M r. M cC arl, S . J., the class o f T h ree B has m arched on, laboring at all times fo r the honor o f our A lm a M ater, until on this occasion w e halt fo r rest. B ut is it necessary to do so? H ave not the Petrean H alls resounded w ith our g lo ry? W h o has not heard o f our achievem ents? One glance through our class list w ill assure the most skeptical individual that T h ree B has been efficiently represented in w hatever form o f duty it has been called upon to perform . T hen i f you w ill, the honor o f publishing the best class journal legitim ately belongs to T hree B.

T o further enumerate our achievements w ould consume much unwarranted space. L et our deeds speak fo r themselves. W ith its face toward the future, T hree B sees the Rubicon of its career rising up m ajestically but one year distant. T o those who are now crossing the tide w e say in unison: “ F arew ell comrades o f three fu ll years, farew ell.”

W ith minds and bodies refreshed by the fleeting hours o f summer, we, the members o f third year, section C, assembled in September to fo rge another link in the chain o f friendship that w as begun tw o years ago in the Class o f i-C .

T h e task of guiding us through the dangerous shoals o f Latin, G reek and M athe­matics w as entrusted to M essrs. M cC arl, S. J., Gilleran, S. J., and Joseph Hayden. Francis, alias “ P o p ” G eraghty w as elected unanimously to the office o f president. N o better choice could have been made. Due m ainly to “ P op ’s” efforts, 3-C carried off first honors fo r the largest quota in the recent athletic drive.

W e have contributed not a few heroes to the gridiron, the diamond and the court. Conspicuous am ong them is our w orthy president, who possesses the coveted honor o f being a three-letter man in athletics at St. P eter’s.

O ur class-banquet w as a huge success— the lion’s share o f the credit being owed to “ Joe” Slattery, our popular and capable beadle. A t the general third-year banquet, w e w ere well-represented, providing many o f the evening’s entertainers. Forem ost among these w as W illiam J. Reehil, who by his ability in cartooning, afforded m any a hearty laugh. T o convince you o f this, w e need only re fer you to his endeavors in this book, and you w ill agree “ B ill is there,” w ith the cartooning instruments. Good luck, “ B ill,” the class is proud to have such a representative on the C e p h e a n

Staff.

A las, w e have come to the close o f another year. It means the parting fo r a w hile o f old friends and classmates. B ut w e shall meet again in September. T ill then, “ A dieu,” and m ay time speed the day we return once more as the Class o f 4-C.

A s September rolled on, the opening o f school w as uppermost in our minds. So to be exact, on the tw elfth w e assembled in the hall and w ere pleased to learn that w e a ll had successfuly passed the exam inations <?f last June. W h en w e w ere assigned our classroom w e w ere glad to see the fam iliar faces o f our classmates w ith but one missing. T h is w as John K anzlem an whom w e later learned had gone to St. Anslem s in N ew Ham pshire. T h is loss, however, w as offset by the addition o f another member in the person o f John D ivizia.

M r. Conroy, S. J., our form er teacher w as succeeded by M r. O rthen, A . B ., as p rofessor in Latin, Greek, A lgebra, E n glish and Civics, and M r. W a lsh succeeded M r. B reslin as teacher o f B iology.

A t a class m eeting the fo llow in g officers w ere e lected : Edw ard M annix,President; James Jordon, V ice-P resid en t; Joseph K re ig , T reasurer, and Thom as F itzpatrick, Secretary.

D u rin g the course o f the fo llow in g months the undivided attention and zealous efforts o f a ll w ere directed tow ard the coming examination. W hen they did arrive w e w ere prepared to meet them. In this w e w ere not disappointed fo r w e all passed and became known as T h ird M id -Y ear. A lth ough the class is not boastful o f its triumphs w e can tru th fu lly say w e maintain a standard o f loyalty, especially in supporting the mite-box, that would be indeed difficult to imitate.

W ith the beginning o f second term the fo llow in g members joined the c la s s : W illiam Stem baski, A lexan der Loos and Frederick F o x. W e feel confident that these men w ill uphold the w orthy traditions o f our class.

Since there are but nineteen members in the class, w e have not been active in the past year. H ow ever, it is our intention to be well-represented in the last year of our course.

W hen Second Y e a r A again united in the old classroom w herein w as fought m any hard battles in learning the appointed studies, ve ry fe w o f the old classmates w ere absent. O ut o f forty-nine students who completed the first term about fo rty- five returned to take up the second term matter. A s the term proceeded a fe w were transferred to other classes, some fo r having been deficient and some fo r various other reasons. H ow ever, a fter the death o f M r. O ’N eil, S. J., ten students from his class w ere transferred to our class, raising the number to fo rty o n e . W ith this number w e have continued on during the last half o f the term and hope fo r no further changes.

A s usual at the beginning o f the term class officers w ere elected. T h ey w ere as fo llo w s: President, A m brose R y a n ; V ice-Presiden t, G eorge H rom nak; T reasurer,A ustin T ig h e ; Secretary, John O ’Connell; Board o f D irectors, Robert Holm es, Chairm an; James W alton and Edw ard Savage. T h ey perform ed their offices w ith great capability and diligence during a successful school year.

T h e second half o f the term ’s w ork had not proceeded ve ry fa r when w e w ere grieved to learn o f the death o f M r. O ’N eil, S. J., our L atin teacher, w ho succumbed to pneumonia a fter one w eek’s illness. H e had charge o f the school athletics and was known to be kind and interested in the w elfare o f the players, having just com ­pleted arrangements fo r new equipments fo r the baseball season. In class he was both ju st and exact and is remembered by the w hole student body as such.

T o football and basketball 2 -A contributed their share of players; N agle and M cL oughlin w ere both brilliant athletes. N agle on the football field starred in many games, as half-back, w ith brain and brawn, w hile on the basketball court M cLoughlin was a crack forw ard of the first team, w here his sw ift playing made up fo r his diminutive stature. R yan played a good gam e as guard on the second team. N ear the end o f the first half o f the term N agle w as transferred to another class, where, it is hoped, they do justice to his ability.

M r. H ayden w as the class-teacher o f 2 -A throughout the entire school year and he proved to be an excellent instructor in second year m atter, taking especially into consideration the fact that he had the largest class in the school.

U nder his absorbing tutorship w e feel able and fit to proceed and begin third- year study.

In September the Class o f 24, Section B entered upon the second year o f their H ig h School course at St. P eter’s, one w hich brought both jo y and sorrow to the hearts o f its loyal members.

T h e sorrow came w hen M r. O ’N eil, S. J., one o f our beloved teachers, went to his rew ard in H eaven. H is sudden and unexpected death occasioned much regret and sadness, but though dead he is still remembered and prayed for. O ur jo y con­sists in the feeling that w e have contributed fa ir ly tow ard the upholding the athletic activities o f St. P eter’s and have advanced in knowledge. ■

W e sensed a feeling o f pride at the request o f the A th letic A ssociation to take part in the drive, fo r in doing so w e indirectly enabled them to produce a team w orthy o f the best traditions o f St. P eter’s.

O ur football team w as not as successful as w e hoped, yet it did us justice. O ur basketball team w as m ore fortunate, and in baseball w e are putting fo rth a team ready to compete w ith any nine.

O ur class is also on par w ith other sections o f Second Y e a r in regard to intellec­tual ability and sportsmanship. It is our one ambition to overcome all obstacles along the road to graduation and at all times to advance the g lo ry o f St. P eter’s. O ur debating team guided by our teacher, M r. O ’B rien is our ju stfu l boast. T his has contributed greatly in developing our ability in the art o f public speaking.

W e now take this opportunity to extend our respectful and heartfelt thanks to those teachers who have in any w ay endeavored to increase our knowledge and ability, assuring them that w e w ill fo llow their principles and reap the profit o f their labor in our behalf.

L ate in September, 1921, the illustrious Class o f i - C re-entered the famous yard o f St. P eter’s Prep. A fte r a serious talk from Rev. F r. Graham, S. J., w e w ere placed Under the particular guidance o f M r. Conroy, S. J., under-w hose direc­tion w e w ere to struggle through Latin, English, and Greek.

W e began our second year w ith a display o f good sense and judgm ent w hen we elected F ran k F innerty as president assisted by an efficient corps o f officers. T h e next important move w as the selection o f a class motto. A fte r due deliberation we selected, “ P e r aspera ad astra,” “ T hrou gh difficulties to the stars,” which shows our perception o f the trials and struggles to be met, when one is striving fo r success.

O ur literary ability w as brought to light w ith the birth o f the Oracle o f which M artin J. Langan is editor-in-chief. It made its first appearance on Novem ber 14, and is universally conceded to be the best w eekly published by a Sophomore class.

O ur class debating society is a model one. Its meetings are characterized by earnestness, intelligent argum ent and above all, good w ill. In all things the class is a unit. There has not been the least friction or frictional disagreement in our whole Sophom ore year.

M artin Langan w as chosen president to pilot our bark through the Sophomore responsibilities o f second term. T h e meetings continue to be as animated as ever.

W e, the Class o f “ 2-C,” extend to all students and friends o f St. P eter’s, best wishes fo r a pleasant summer vacation.

T h e Second M id -Y ear has many loyal sons. M r. N agle our president, besides being the leader o f our class in athletics, is also one o f the leaders o f the school. T h e athletic drive in which w e w on the class pennant is one o f our boasts. W e tender sincere thanks to M r. M eehan and M r. N agle who made th is . boast possible. B ut that is not all. O ur class glories in an expert ball player, M r. A lexan der, who w ith the aid o f M r. M eehan put fo rth a winning class nine. W e have not many men in the class, fo r otir section is ve ry young, but as fa r as w e have gone into both sports and studies w e have proved our w orth beyond expectations. Then, our support o f the m ite-box bespeaks our generosity.

In the basketball season there w as alw ays a m ajority o f our class rooting fo r old St. P eter’s. In later years this class w e are sure w ill become a class that St. P eter’s can never forget, nor w ill they fo rget St. P eter’s.

In two and a h a lf years from this term the class o f Second M id -Y ear w ill probably meet fo r the last time, and w e hope that she w ill be as successful in future years as she has been thus far.

■I'n the affairs in w hich Second M id -Y ear has thus fa r taken part she has shown herself capable o f competing w ith any classes in the school and by the time we graduate w ith a fu ll St. P eter’s course, w e w ill stand ready to defend the honor and glory o f St. P eter’s against all opponents.

T h e opening o f school found an assemblage o f several hundred prospective students in the auditorium o f St. P eter’s. H avin g been arranged into sections we w ere assigned our professors, M essrs. W alsh and T arrant. A n election o f officers follow ed in w hich John E vers assumed the office of president, H ow ard T u lly , Secre­tary, and G eorge Lee, Treasurer.

T h e next day, much to our surprise, w e w ere transferred from the main build­ing to the annex and assigned our future classroom. F irm ly established at last, the class looked fo rw ard to a most successful year, both in studies and athletics. T he athletic meet held at Jersey C ity Baseball P a rk exhibited several youthful contestants, in the persons o f John and Edw ard Bowen, and Thom as Crow ley, w ho carried off the laurels in the relay race. A silver loving cup w ill remind the class o f that memorable day.

Fortunately everyone passed the m id-year examinations, due to the ability o f the class and tireless efforts o f our teachers. A n athletic drive conducted during the first part o f M arch showed the members o f this section keen in adhering to the traditions of the school. John Bonnell, a product o f Summit, N. J., displayed excellent salesmanship by disposing of tw enty books of chances. W e also surpassed first year in the distribution o f chance books.

T h e baseball season brought many recruits to the front, but o f them all a solitary member of our class John E vers, gained the much-sought uniform.

T h e friendly intercourse between the class and the rest o f the school evinces the esteem in w hich the fellow s are held by their schoolmates.

It w as then w e began assim ilating the knowledge imparted to us by the greatest body o f teachers in the w orld, no other than the Jesuit O rd er;men w ho have sacrificed a ll w orld ly pleasure and w ho stand ready and w illin g toimpart without recompense the fundamentals o f piety and learning. These are the general impressions made upon the minds o f the first year students.

D uring the first term a mutual feeling o f friendship w as established throughout the class w hich w as aroused by the far-fam ed spirit w ith which St. P eter’s w as imbued. In the fo llow in g months w e became strong links in the chain o f the student body.

A s fo r class activities w e must confess that the year has been uneventful. A first-year class must get it’s bearings in the beginning before m anifesting real school spirit. But in the general school activities we have done our bit alw ays striving to bring g lory on the name o f our school.

W e are fast learning and it is our intention to increase the laurels o f St. P eter’sat every opportunity during the remaining years o f our course.

Succeeding days saw our class spirit bud, blossom, bloom and become a flower w orthy to evoke the greatest admiration.

In the events at the Field D a y our athletes took part and did w ell although they did not w in any first prizes. H ackett won third place in the high jump. D u rin g the w inter months our basketball team often matched its skill w ith the other classes at M anresa and did nobly. D ave Colem an w as our star.

D u rin g the first term under the guidance o f M r. Coleman, our professor in English, we studied the w onderfully pathetic story of Evangeline, L o n gfe llo w ’s m aster­piece. N othing in the poem stirred us m ore deeply than the scene at Gaspereau’s M outh, when the A cadians never more to see their peaceful homes in G rand-Pre w ere loaded into B ritish ships and dispersed along the coast o f the colonies, w herever there w as room fo r them.

O n the first day o f the second term Section C suffered a sim ilar dispersion and so w ere better able to appreciate the sorrow o f the simple Acadians. In order to make room fo r the new February class the members of i-C w ere scattered in D, E, and F , w herever there w as room, so that now Section C is only a pleasant memory.

O ur students w ere among the leaders, our athletes were ever strong and ready to compete w ith the other sections’ best, and our officers were as capable and as energetic as any, but w e are no more. •

T h e last gentle summer breezes still blowing, a few boys soon to be placed together in the class i-D in M anresa H all stood within the w alls o f St. P eter’s. T h e word came from F r. Rector and next day our class assembled w ith books, ready fo r w ork at M anresa H all. Since that time a unity alm ost unbelievable, has been established am ong the members o f our class. W henever our officers send forth the tocsin call o f “A ll fo r the common cause,” w e step forw ard, fo rty strong, w ith a spirit ready to lift up, defend o r laud the school o f our parents’ choice, “ St. P eter’s.” O ur unity has been form ed so p erfectly that w e feel ourselves in duty bound to answ er the call o f our school. E verythin g, talents both scholastic and athletic, resources both m oral and financial, faculties both physical and mental w ere placed at the disposal o f our officers fo r the good o f our class, M anresa and St. P eter’s. W e feel proud o f our union and w e do not feel ashamed to place it in comparison w ith the class spirit compared w ith any other class in the school. In everything does our class stand am ong the best, because we strive fo r the best and highest; and our rew ard is this, our form idable confederacy.

O ur honor list each month bears ample testim ony to the fact that the members o f i-D are leaders in studies as w ell as in class spirit. W e vote F. C lark, the kindest man in the school.

W e, the class o f 1925, not being organized long enough, have little i f any, history. T h e first m eeting saw the election o f officers and the fo llow in g w ere chosen :

Bernard Finn, President Thom as M cFadden, V ice-Presiden t James M cA teer, Secretary F rederick Preece, T reasurer

W e have taken an active part in school w ork, have been represented on the Honor- R oll and have supported the teams lo yally on the gridiron and on the basket­ball court. W e have also “ boosted” the A th letic D rive and School P lay.

Section E has had a ve ry successful year in athletics. In the field d ay games last September, she w on the Junior Section Championship, defeating all classes o f the first year. T h e banner was won chiefly through the efforts o f John Cassar, who took first place in many events, and also through the class spirit w hich prevails. Several members o f the class received prizes fo r taking first place in various events.

In basketball i- E w as represented on the court by a uniform ed team and sup­ported it through the season. T h e team had a very strenuous schedule arranged, and, as a result lost several games. T h e excellent playing o f Captain Preece, center, was the feature o f m ost every game. T h e remainder o f the team w as composed o f M cFadden, Finn, fo rw ard s; T om R yan and Donovan, guards; Joe D a ly and Csesar, substitutes. T h e principal games o f the season w ere played against St. M a ry ’s and St. Francis X av ier Minims o f N ew Y o rk .

Manresa Hall, the Grammar School, closed its doors a few years ago and until this year its classrooms were silent and cheerless. But now, its portals are open wide again, and its classrooms often re-echo with cheery voices. Not only has Manresa flung wide open its gate but it has taken on a new dignity. No longer is grammar school affixed to its charter since it now enjoys the distinction of being an Annex to the High School. Within its walls our young schoolmates who are just beginning their high school careers are learning the rudiments of Latin, Algebra, and English. Per­haps a few words about Manresa’s past would be interesting to all.

As we trace the book of records, page after page, we finally come to July in nineteen hundred and five. At that time a residence on Summit Avenue near Montgomery Street was bought by the Faculty of St. Peter’s College.

On September the tenth of the same year Manresa Hall Grammar School was opened for the reception of students. On the first roll-call there were thirty names, thirty boys anxious for a Catholic School Train­ing given by the Jesuits. The Reverend Father John Fox, S. J., was President and the genial Father Edward Brock, S. J., was named Head­master. Military drill was one of the school’s distinguishing marks. Dur­ing the following years many splendid drills and frequent appearances in parades gave proof of the efficient military training which the Manresa students received from Captain Higgins. The value of Manresa’s military training is at once apparent from a glance over the business and profes­sional directories of our fair city.

The years flowed away; Manresa grew and prospered under Father Brock’s faithful guidance. However, in nineteen hundred and thirteen that beloved headmaster was succeeded by Reverend Thomas F. Graham, S. J., at present the esteemed President of St. Peter’s High School.

During the years nineteen hundred and nineteen and nineteen hundred and twenty Manresa Hall was closed because of the lack of teachers. But again on September the twelfth, nineteen hundred and twenty-one Manresa Hall was opened as an Annex to St. Peter’s High School. Four classes of first year were sent to Manresa with Father P. M. C o llin sw ^ ^ *a?^ ic^ Prefect. Father Collins labored for many years gAat&rffiw Studies at St. Peter’s to make St. Peter’s a bigger aj^«^Cetter college. His self-

Tear boys at Manresa has won the admiration, affection and respe^^f every student at St. Peter’s, but especially of his young proteges..

His teaching staff consist^® of Messrs. David J. Moran, S. J., Ray­mond A. Coleman, James J^^Tumulty, and William A. Ward. On the sixth of November, Mr^lCard, who had already won the deepest respect and affection of his puj^is, died suddenly from an acute attack of indiges­tion. His loss wasjijeenly felt by the students and by his fellow-profes- -s'ors. Tb'v "’rano/caused by his premature death was filled by Mr. W il­liam G. Timriey.

St. Peter’s has a journal! For years the need of some such paper has been keenly felt, but until the early part of this year no attempt has been made to fill the gap. The paper has proved itself a true mouthpiece of the school it represents.

The primary purpose of this little sheet was to form a link between the alumni, the graduates of yesteryear, and the flourishing St. Peter’s of to-day. It is put out by the students of St. Peter’s in an effort to build a firm bond between the present generation of St. Peter’s sons with the graduates of all ages scattered over the country.

From the first the paper was a success. In five months it doubled its size and its advertising. When we consider that this is the work of ama­teurs, students who are new to this field of literature, the conclusion can­not be avoided that they have learned wondrous quickly.

Yes, the Petrean has been an unquestioned success. It has awakenedtond memorfe. >in the heart of many an old “grad,” of the school he loved.

tfrauiUnnn IJefastmg ihirirtgAs in former years, debating has been a prominent activity at St.

Peter’s. Our weekly debates were so successfully conducted, that soon we branched out and gave exhibition debates throughout the state, all bringing well-earned glory to the already honored name of St. Peter’s. Under the guidance of Mr. R. A. Hewitt, S. J., the Society has flourished, and it is due to his interest that our teams have proved themselves victorious. We record only the account of our two interscholastic debates.

SuirMiam Irhat?Sweet was the taste of victory when, 011 the night of March 10th, the

young orators of St. Peter’s were awarded an unanimous decision over their ancient rivals, Fordham Prep, in public debate. The debate was held in St. Peter’s Hall, on the question, “Resolved, that the Dyer-Volstead Anti-Lynching Bill is in accord with wise Federal Policy.” The affirma­tive side of the bill was successfully defended by St. Peter’s, while Ford­ham attacked the measure on the negative. Mr. Robert H. Doherty, 1911, acting as Chairman of the debate, formally welcomed the boys from the Bronx to St. Peter’s.

For St. Peter’s, Messrs. Edward P. Looney, Charles Gannon and John Verdon left nothing to be desired in their presentation and logic. Messrs. Sherlock, Rhinehart and McGann, representing Fordham, were conspicuously lacking in force.

The decision, made by secret ballot, was unanimous in favor of the affirmative. The judges of the debate were Hon. James A. Butler, A.B., L.L.B., Mr. Henry Snyder, A.B., A.M., Sc.D., and Dr. Thomas J. McGeary, A.B., M.D. The alternates of the debate were Mr. John J. Cashman for St. Peter’s and Mr. John E. Quinn for Fordham.

3£amer 0 i4iateThe Beaudevin Debating Society of St. Peter’s was again victorious

when, on the night of May 8th, they met and conquered the debating team of Xavier High School, New York. The debate was held in Xavier’s Auditorium. The question of the debate was, “Resolved, that the Dyer- Volstead Anti-Lynching Bill is in accord with wise Federal Policy.” On this occasion St. Peter’s supported the negative. Our representatives were Messrs. John J. Cashman, Charles Gannon and John Verdon. They proved the bill to be impractical and unconstitutional. Their delivery compelled the attention of the large audience. Xavier was represented by Messrs. Charles McGroddy, Charles Downey and Charles Murphy. They also gave evidence of careful preparation, and offered stiff resistance to our debaters, but in rebuttal St. Peter’s boys drove home their points with a vim and vigor that would not be denied. The judges of the debate were Messrs. Harry S. Austin, L.L.D., William Butler, L.L.D., and Bernard Teeney, A.B.

SramattraIn dramatics this year, we departed from the type of last year’s play,

as well as furtively steering clear of Shakespeare; but in our endeavor to avoid the sensational of the modern and the tragedic in the Avon bard, we went to the other extreme, beyond the Elizabethan period, back almost to the Middle Ages. The Dramatic Society chose for its offering: “In the Fool’s Bauble,” by Rev. John D. McCarthy, a play considered by professional coaches as one of the best suited pieces for a non-coed institu­tion. A short description of the play and results of our endeavors will not be malapropos of these pages.

“In the Fool’s Bauble” is a story of Christian Chivalry in Provene, when that happy land was ruled by “Good Rene,” a royal host to Chevalier and troubadour who himself fed on the songs of their lyres. In parentheses, John Loftus played Rene and proved by his clever fainting spell that inanition is bound to follow such an unsubstantial diet. Catholic from its very concept, the plot was woven about a young Count desirous of doffing the sword and donning a monk’s habit. John Slane, as cleverly as last year, played the part. Of course, the hero is thwarted by an ambitious vil­lain prone to cursing and what not. This role fell to H. Clifford Clarke and was well portrayed, except for the undesirable oaths whose lack of force led us to conclude that they are not in Clifford’s working vocabulary. The plot is scented and severed in twain by the Court Jester. John Cullum played the fool, though the old wrinkles unwonted to antidate the beard have not come as yet. His heady laughs still echo in the Hall.

The merriment of the play is almost confined to the foppish assign­ment of Florimond de Bellefontaine, a part requiring acting clever enough as not to appeal too natural to its deft interpreter.' After many mis­givings as to a suitable player, the Moderator, Mr. L. J. Gilleran, S. J., found the man in James Daly, ’22. James wielded the lace handkerchief and lorgnette as naturally as a dame' of twice his years and experience. Every step and supercillious look from Daly boomed the play and brought Nor would Joseph Cullum’s talents allow themselves to be hidden under a minor part, but proved an inverse ratio to his three lines in Francois, the twelve-year-old servant to old Gaspar, an inn-keeper. John Verdon, said dispenser of spirits, crooked his back and stiffened his gait as one four-score and ten plus his own age. As partner to the hero, and abettor to the villain, Clement O’Sullivan and James McManus respectively, merited their applause.

Taking a rapid survey of this year’s histrionic endeavor, we congrat­ulate all upon their achievement. The play was one that lacked neither the laughs of comedy, nor the sword-drawing of dueling days. Music written especially for its court scenes and hunting escapades, lent an air of the popular musical productions, while its plot, composition and elevating dic­tion placed it among the truly classical productions. We pay “The Fool’s Bauble” a high compliment when we say that it was decidedly not a modern drama. Onward, ye Thespians of 1923, and surpass even the success of our Senior play.

(Shtr (frrltpHtraThe glory of the Maroon and White reached its zenith through the

culminating successes of its student activities, and in no small degree has that glory been attained by the contribution of the orchestra endeavor. Music has always held a large and lively interest in the hearts of St. Peter’s happy and joy-loving youths, and it was to further cultivate and retain this interest that our musical organization began to function.

With Mr. Leo J. Gilleran, S. J., as a capable Moderator, and with the ever faithful Director, Prof. Joseph B. Ferry, the orchestra launched upon what promised to be a successful voyage toward its accustomed des­tination. Faithful to their routine of Tuesday practice, the members were able to regale with their motifs the joint conference of the Holy Name Societies at St. Joseph’s Hall, early in the fall season of last year. The orchestra began to take shape.

Later, during the winter, at an exhibition debate in Hoboken, the hall of Our Lady of Grace reverberated with chords of encouragement to the contestants from their comrades in the pit; and the musical squad itself received applause in return. It would be unfair not to mention, as well, the added pleasure offered by this organization at the Fordham rostra- vistory. But these few performances, together with that at the Elocution Contest, are all we heard; and we are led to make our only adverse criti­cism of the orchestra: we did not hear it often enough. In quest of an explanation, we probed the causes. They are two.

The first is obvious and, we suppose, unavoidable in America; namely, that if music interfere with athletics, throw out the music. As sensible— from a physical standpoint—and common as this is, it nevertheless can not make for musical success. The second reason is as tangible as it is remediable; it lies in our musicians themselves. St. Peter’s, we understand, is not devoid of musical talent, as far as talent goes; but there is a dearth of talent for St. Peter’s interests. If this more cultural attainment had its swam of clamoring aspirants, as has the ball-field—and many of our high schools have such, we would not learn that our orchestra, towards the end of the season, dwindled into almost dissolution. This, of course, if true, is lamentable. St. Peter’s holds two championship honors in foot­ball ; is second to none, perhaps, in baseball; while debating at our ag^ol is traditionally unparalleled. The C e p h e a n of 1922 would leave the sug­gestion that those who are so gifted as to make our musical success a reality, should feel with the school-spirit flowing in their veins, that their particular duty towards the school lies in this sphere of activity. May the graduates of 1922 return some time and hear again old familiar strains from the orchestra augmented to a more representative number.

The Senior Sodality under the invocation of the Immaculate Con­ception of the Blessed Mother comprises a number of faithful members from Third and Fourth Years, The sodalists meet in the chapel every Tuesday morning before class in order to render due honor and reverence to the Mother of God. The office of the Sodality is recited and the Rev­erend Moderator renders a short but impressive talk. As sodalists they are encouraged to promote devotion to the Blessed Mother and thereby not only honoring Her but also paying homage to God Himself.

Although many find it difficult to attend the service at such an early hour, yet they overcome it and make the sacrifice for the love of the Mother of God. Throughout the year the little chapel was fairly well occupied every Tuesday morning. Before the close of the year a reception of those members who have undergone the required probation, will take place. A sodality is indeed a spiritual treasury wherein the faithful mem­bers place their prayers, which will not only be useful for their present state of life but also indispensable for their future pilgrimage of life.

Junior“More things are wrought by prayer, than the world dreams of.”

Little indeed may the world think of the potentiality of prayer, but God, Our Greatest Benefactor, will amply reward our merits. Every Wednes­day at eight-thirty in the morning the chapel is filled with faithful devotees of the Junior Sodality, who come to pay due honor to our Blessed Mother. The office of our Lady is recited in common, usually followed by a brief talk given by the Director. The sodalists are exhorted to increase and spread the devotion of our Blessed Mother, who will be ever mindful of their zeal and will intercede for them before Her Son. Despite the incon­venience of rising with the sun in order to arrive in time in any kind of weather the members have faithfully attended every meeting of their Sodality. Very few missed even one service and they certainly deserve to be congratulated for their meritorious efforts. Under the careful super­vision of Mr. Conroy, S. J., the membership of the Sodality exceeded that of other years and no doubt the next year will witness even a greater enrollment. The Junior Sodality is composed of members from First and Second Years. A solemn reception of members will be held before the end of the year.

S fa n ib a UE a rly in September the boys o f St.

P eter’s looked forw ard to a strenuous and busy season on the gridiron hav­ing a schedule arranged to meet the hardest and strongest prep elevens that w ere ever included in one schedule. A lth ough they anticipated a winning

team, they little hoped fo r the g lo r­ious victories w hich they achieved by their brilliant and gam e fighting. In fa c t it proved to be one o f the best football elevens that ever represented the M aroon and W h ite on the grid ­iron.

T hree championships (city, county, State Scholastic Catholic) ; nine v ic ­tories and tw o defeats, is the record o f these w arriors and an enviable rec­ord it is.

T h e V a rsity inaugurated the sea­son w ith a gam e against U psala C o l­lege. T h e splendid line plunging and backfield maneuvers o f the men re­sulted in a victory over the boys from Kenilw orth w ith a score o f 26-6.

T h e gam e w ith C liff side w as a stubbornly contested affair. Despite weather conditions they succeeded in conquering the hitherto undefeated team by 7-3.

T h e y suffered their first defeat when they met the heavy Paterson team. T his burly eleven nosed them out (14-13) despite the desperate defensive football which the V a rs ity displayed.

W ith five regulars m issing from the line-up and the luck' o f the fates against them the M aroon and W h ite bowed to B rooklyn Prep (13-0). Undaunted, however, they proved their mettle in the face o f such overw helm ing odds.

H ow ever, the Prepsters came back strong and subdued in quick succession, E m er­son, C arlton A cadem y, L incoln H igh and Clason Point.

“ R evenge is s w e e t!” T hese w ords w ere on the lips o f a ll St. P eter’s rooters when the final w histle found the Prep boys a 13-7 winner over their old-time rival Dickinson H ig h School. T h e gam e w as replete w ith thrills and both factions seemed immovable and unyielding until the “ Irish” o f the M aroon and W h ite got the best o f them. F o r w hat team could stand up against their slaughtering attack once they become imbued w ith this spirit.

T h e best o f things are usually saved until last. So it proved in the Benedict’s- St. P eter’s gam e w hich decided the Catholic State Championship. T h e gam e was the best o f the season and by fa r the most interesting. T h e G ray Bees scored first but the Prepsters came back strongly, starting an irresistible m arch down the field which resulted in a touchdown. T h e gam e ended w ith the score 6-3 in our favor.

Coach H u gh D oherty is filled w ith pride and satisfaction at the superb accom ­plishments o f his championship gridironers. It is only the men themselves who know and realize how much o f their success is due to the tireless efforts o f their coach. I'n the alloting o f the spoils o f conflict he surely deserves the larger portion o f it and next year under his skillfu l and m asterful guidance the St. P eter’s team w ill undoubtedly enjoy a season just as crowded w ith victories and championships as this season was.

iSaakrtballAt the termination of a most successful football season the Peterites

turned their eyes on the approaching season of basketball.Coach Doherty reduced a large squad to ten capable men: Anthony

Keane, who captained the team; J. McLaughlin, J. Baldwin, A. Cashman, J. O’Keeffe, E. Griffin, W. Verdon, C. Delehey, F. Geraghty, and J. Slane.

In its initial contest against Cathedral Prep, the Varsity was victorious by the score of 36-18. O’Keeffe and Keane featured the game with spec­tacular shots.

On December the twenty-eighth we encountered the Alumni.The Alumni boasted of such stars as Sweeney and Brogan of George­

town; Quinn, of Seton Hall; Hoffman, of Fordham, and Isbister. Never­theless, they were overwhelmed by the strong Prep team (42-16). McLaughlin and Keane scintillated for the Prep while Sweeney proved the bright light for the Alumni.

Next came our ancient antagonist Hoboken High who accomplished the unexpected. We were giving them a very good game up until the last six minutes when Captain Keane was seriously injured. An injury which kept him out for the remainder of the year. Keane’s absence caused the passwork to upset itself and as a result we went down nobly to defeat by a score which by no means indicates the closeness of the struggle 42-27. The score at half time was 14-13 in Hoboken’s favor.

We then clashed with Fordham and after battling away for forty minutes the contest resulted in a deadlock, 30 all.

With the return of Slane we again began to locate ourselves winning in a most decided manner from Perth Amboy to the tune of 49-21 . This consistency continued and we administered a severe trouncing to Emerson in a second game 34-16 on our own court.

One of the most interesting games of the season was the one with St. Benedict’s of Newark. It was nip and tuck all the way through. The winner was undecided until the last minute of play when O’Neill, of the Gray Bees, shot a pretty field goal which ended the event. The tally was 48-49. O’Keeffe was St. Peter’s individual star with seven field goals.

Avenging the defeat which we suffered earlier in the season we frus­trated the attempts of Xavier Prep on their own court 55-31 . The Regis Five were our next victims conquering them by a score of 32-18.

The only thing that marred the excellence of the, season was the shameful manner in which St. Peter’s were treated in the State Tourna­ment. It certainly was a most dishonorable and unjust act on somebody’s part, for there was no team more qualified and worthy of recognition than the Maroon and White of the year of twenty-two.

After such successful seasons on both the gridiron and court there was no alternative but for the baseball nine to continue the good work. And it is not only likely that they will maintain that dignity, but will eclipse it for it has been stealthily rumored about that the boys of the St. Peter’s Prep nine have a championship team this year. And so it is very probable that they will flaunt the State Championship Banner at the end of the year.

In whirlwind fashion the Maroon and White commenced the season on nineteen hundred and twenty-two by defeating West New York High by the score of 7-3. Although the day was more suitable for a football game, the boys showed some fine playing.

A few days later the Prepsters bowed in humble submission to St. Benedict’s of Newark. The game was very close and victory belonged to either side until the seventh inning when the “Gray Bees” broke loose and ran up the score. The final tally 11-4 .

With “Ken” Jones hurling a four-hit game the team returned to the games—won column by taming Hoboken High 7-2. Jones also struck out sixteen batsmen. His mates wielded the stick effectively and accorded support afield. Captain Murtagh clouted a triple and a double while Slane, Geraghty and Evers each touched the opposing twirler for doubles.

The succeeding Saturday the Varsity traveled to Asbury Park where they outslugged the Asbury Park High School team by the score 13-8. Johnny Slane had a great day at the bat connecting for a home run with the bases full and four singles.

“Old Man Jinx” must have surely camped on our trail this year. He had taken out our both captains in football and in basketball and now it seems as if he persisted in following, for in this Asbury Park game Captain George Murtagh’s ankle was broken while sliding into second base. This puts him out for the remainder of the season and leaves him look­ing on and fretting with anxiety to be beside his teammates.

The Prepsters continued their batting rampage in the next game and handed their Jesuit rivals, Xavier High School a terrific walloping. They slugged the opposing pitchers for thirteen hits, two of which were homers.

Thus could we go on enumerating the tilts in which our boys engaged, but space does not permit us to record all their triumphs. They have

■ worked hard, they have yielded themselves into the hands of their coach and friend, and the pride we take in them springs from their constant endeavor, and true sportsmanship.
