W h en we entered upon ou,r last year at St. Peter’s, a few short months ago, there came among us a new face,— a priest, young, am i­able, zealous. This man we have come to know more intimately during the year through his inspiring talks, his kindly manner, and his understanding sympathy. I t is, then, w ith a deep appreciation of his priestly qualities of m ind and heart, that we respectfully dedicate this book to our devoted Father Rector, R e v ­erend Joseph S. Dinneen, S.J.

For weeks w e have been on a treasure hunt, seeking to gather together the gems of recol­lection of our years at St. Peter’s. Our argosy is now returned and its rich cargo of memories has been brought to shore. Our • treasure chest is a book into w hich w e have carefully placed our riches: stories of days gone by; sketches of old buildings; portraits of inspiring men, captains of learning, of classmates and friends; a chronicle of brother ■sodalists, of colleagues in debate, of team­mates in sport. N o lock holds fast the cover of our treasure chest. It lies open before you. E xam ine w ith us its contents and read with us its silver thread of narrative.

T T WAS four years ago th a t we first discovered John’s rad ian t optimism and cheerfulness.

In him are embodied, too, the qualities of an ideal student. John probed w ith profit the mys­teries of Virgil and he delved patien tly into the in tricate study of chem istry. H is winning smile and sp irit of true gentlemanliness have gained m any companions for him.

W e do not know if John ever has a blue day, since his wonderful sense of hum or covers all possible traces of gloom. H is plans for the fu­tu re are as yet unknown to us. In any event, we feel assured th a t he will prove a credit to St. P e te r’s and will meet w ith a good share of success. Farewell, John!

L T H O U G H small in stature, “E d ” has p lenty of sp irit packed into his slight

frame. W e can justly say th a t few have applied themselves to their tasks as earnestly as “ E d .” W henever there was a discussion going on in class or a question aw aiting an answer, “ Bull,” if not seen, was a t least always heard. M ention m ust be made, too, of his sp irit of helpfulness towards others, whether shown in his readiness to explain a L atin passage or in his cooperation in other school activities.

T his year “ E d ” revealed to us another of his talents. For he appeared, the perfect actor, in the school play, “C aptain Applejack.” If small conquests are indicative of greater ones to come, then “ E d ’s” four years a t the Prep give promise of a bright future.

\ S T H E years pass on and class memories grow dim, the deeds of Jack will still linger.

H e is one whom we look upon as a typical man of the Prep. B rilliant scholar and clean-cut ath lete combine to m ake up th a t stocky young fellow whom we know as Jack Bonnell. On the gridiron, on the court or in class, he always proved himself to be a true gentleman.

P opularity he has won among his friends a t the P rep, and his is the popularity well de­served. Ja c k ’s everlasting smile and his humor have endeared him to the hearts of all. So, it is w ith a touch of pride th a t we presage for Jack great renown in the profession of his choice.

TH E first impression we gained of “Albie” in our initial year a t St. P e te r’s was one of

perseverance and serene confidence. T his has been fully justified in our four-year association w ith this sterling character. N ever pushing himself forward bu t always prepared, “Albie” was equally efficient in the classroom and in the extra curricula activities. For St. P e te r’s has seldom harbored a more loyal or more devoted student than “Albie.”

H is outstanding talents, supported by a keen and appreciative sense of hum or w arrant a long and successful career in whatever pursuit he en­gages in years to come. And so, even though we are elated w ith the joy of Commencement, it is with a tinge of sincere regret th a t we grasp “Albie’s” hand to bid him adieu.

n p H E predom inant tra it of this man of few bu t wise words is m odesty. I t was under

the cloak of this characteristic th a t “ B uck” de­veloped his talents. H e is one of those whose conquests are prom pted by their great love for the school, ra ther than by the honor or praise a ttached to the- work itself. H enry was consci­entious in the line of duty , dependable, sincere in purpose and considerate of others.

Again, an example of one who keeps his word, “ Buck,” having in his first year given his prom ­ise to fulfill all obligations, never missed a K. B. S. M ass during his years a t the Prep. H is departure, needless to say, will be felt by both students and teachers alike. Teachers will miss an inspiring character, classmates, an ideal com­panion.

“ Bill’s” qualities of leadership have been a t­tested to by his occupation of responsible class positions, culm inating in his unanim ous election as class president in his fourth year. “ Bill” will always remain one of our fondest memories of the Prep and in saying good-bye we wish him every blessing life holds.

an athlete, he has obtained for himself a posi­tion high in the estim ation of P rep sportsm en; sincere as a scholar, he m ight well occupy the chair of one of our foremost philosophers. H onest, loyal and progressive, John possesses an enthusiasm which, we feel assured, will carry him to the peak of whatever undertaking he may pursue.

H is popularity a t the Prep cannot be empha­sized too much. W e can now see our Alma M ater as she sends John out into the world, pouring forth her final testim onial, “You have been faithful in class, faithful on the field of sport, faithful to friends and faithful to me.”

Only the length of time consumed each day in traveling from Grantwood to Jersey C ity has kept him from engaging extensively in school activities. This is “Lou’s” only complaint.

O IN C E the fall of 1928, the halls of St. P e te r’s ^ have never ceased to re-echo w ith the hearty peals of laughter caused by the inim itable u tte r­ances of our own “ M ark .” M any long and irk ­some struggles w ith Cicero and Virgil have been tem pered with sessions of m irth caused by his comical expressions. Along w ith his jovial m an­ner, “ M ark ” was an earnest scholar.

M any of us m ay better recognize “ M ark ” as one of the P rep ’s faithful and fleet-footed backs of the gridiron. H e might well be called the chauffeur of the class. All his friends join in wishing L arry , a true gentleman and a firm friend, the greatest success a t St. Peter’s Col­lege.

ST . P E T E R ’S has seldom encountered a finer gentlem an than Tom m y. Among his like­

able qualities he counts the sp irit of study. M any a tim e he has prevented a classm ate from falling before a question asked by a teacher, by answering the question him self be­fore being called upon. T om m y can always be found in the com pany of “ M ark ” Fagan, try ing to prove th a t N ew ark is a b e tter place to live in than Jersey City.

Since T om m y com m uted daily from the th riv ­ing m etropolis of N ew ark, he found little time to partic ipate in P rep athletics. H is was the scholastic game. Tom m y has the sincere good wishes of the class for his fu ture success and happiness.

r N T O our m idst four years ago came this quiet A youth. Since th a t time, “Orm s” has won for himself a num ber of friends. H is rem arkable personality, sparkling w ith good nature, has won us over completely. A t all times he has been a gentlem an and a student and thus has earned due popularity.

Though Jim has gained m ost of his renown in the oratorical realms, in the study of Spanish we again find all eyes involuntarily turned to­wards him. M any a gram m atical enigma has been puzzled out by the alert m ind of our “O rm s.” And last bu t not least of his talents is his outstanding ability as an artist.

very entrance into the Prep up to the present day he has been prom inent in supporting all scholas­tic activities. Again, he has unselfishly given loyal backing to athletics.

E qually prom inent are H erbie’s good nature and generosity, as often m anifested by the a ft­ernoons he spent w ith the class teams, both football and basketball. H erbie’s interests, we are told, incline towards scientific pursuits. He and Vinnie M atthew s have had several deep dis­cussions on the m erits of short-wave sets.

CLASS HISTORY—FEBRUARY GRADUATEST F W E were of the fa ith of Virgil and his contem poraries we would certain ly

need the help of the M uses, those proverbial inspirers of eloquence, in order to do justice to the eventful narra tive of the “T ravels w ith 4 -M .” W ould th a t we had some Archias to take notes of the high lights of th is h isto ry and la te r fittingly to im m ortalize them w ith his m asterful pen. B u t alas! W e m ust depend on the lim ited memories and hum ble vocabularies of a couple of poor inexperienced scribes.

W ell now, le t’s all clam ber aboard L arry F ag an ’s fam ous chario t, and gallop over from our place of honor on the top floor of the Science H all to the school yard . W e laugh a t the size of the boisterous F irs t Y ear lads. B u t then we re­m em ber th a t four years ago we, too, ran around like beheaded chickens, and we ourselves had no t yet grown to long trousers; and I suppose, we bothered some dignified F ou rth Y ear P repsters w ith our loud babble. I t ’s no t so long ago. W hy everything th a t happened then is ju st as clear as if it had happened yesterday.

D o you th ink th a t you can bear w ith our reminiscences? T h a t first day, w hat a thrill! T hen getting to know one another. Looking up in awe a t Big John Con­roy, who was then as large as he is now. L istening and laughing heartily a t the jokes of M r. T a rra n t, som ething we w ouldn’t allow ourselves to do now. I t was all so novel. W eren’t we proud of Bennie G eraghty, when he was high-scorer in the Reserves’ game against D ickinson! Bennie scored fourteen points th a t night. L ittle Ben then, now he, too, has grown up. And then baseball. Johnnie Conroy was regular catcher and Bennie played every position on the diam ond. T his was the tim e th a t C harlie D olan sta rted to wear th a t sw eater w ith “M asco t” w ritten on it, th a t used to accom pany him even to bed. T he same year F rank Coughlin and F rank R eitem eyer were on the track squad, and C lark and Coughlin were in the finals of the elocution contest. And then came our first vacation, th ree m onths to th ink over this strange new world in which we were living.

O ur Class was so large th a t we had to be sp lit up in to two divisions, 2M-1 and 2M -2. T h a t year in football, Biviano, M cG eady, Conroy, and G eraghty strove for the dear old Prep. Ben G eraghty, “ M oun ta in” H ill and “ Skip” Kelleher were our contribution to basketball. B u t then one day we h it a snag. M any of our class m em bers dropped off. Staggered for a while, we soon regained our wonted composure.

T h a t same year we had Jim Fanning, Jim O rm sby and C harlie D olan as de­baters, and Charlie D olan took the E locution medal. T he mission activities were captained by Coughlin and we showed th a t the Class was quite representative, sporting such outstanding scholars as H ill, D olan, Coughlin, Toom ey, Conroy, and T um ulty . H ere, L arry F agan ’s carry-all was first introduced to us and we spent our tim e seeing th a t no one stole it from him. L arry would drive up every m orn­ing, collect O ’H a ra ’s fare, and lock up his treasure. O ur Class was gradually

dwindling to about twenty-two. B ut for all tha t, we had a group of fine-spirited fellows. e«J

tc)Johnny H ill was the big s ta r of the P rep basketball team th a t year and Kelle-

her ran him a close second. In football, alm ost half of the class had their names high up on the program of the D ickinson game. L e t’s see, there were: M cGeady, Coughlin, Domozych, H ill, Spaldo, Fagan and Egan.

I t was a big celebration in the class when Eddie Balinski introduced his trouser cuffs to his shoe-tops. In debating and dram atics we had O ’Brien and Dolan. H ere are a few sidelights on the Class: Koch com m uting from In terlaken on the eight-fifteen; T um ulty cracking jokes and doing the H arlem with Toom ey; Reilly, being quiet; Buczynski astounding the chem istry class; Nelson arguing with Yura- sek about the best way to get to Jersey C ity from Bayonne, and Gavin versus Toom ey; D olan singing “W abash M oon” and the “H arrison H urricanes” coming in la te for class.

S tarting on the last leg of our journey in September, 1931, the Class felt re­lieved, as we had finished with M athem atics. W e thought th a t we had practically com pleted our studies a t the Prep. T he Class was well represented a t Sodaltiy meetings. A t the St. M ichael’s Sodality Convention, John H ill, Prefect, and Charles D olan represented St. P e te r’s. W e contributed football and basketball candidates, who were to be long remembered for their prowess on gridiron and court. T he annual play “ C aptain A pplejack” drew two of our members for lead­ing roles and the p irate crew was made up largely of 4-M huskies.

As we now take our departure from the old buildings in which we have been drilled in the fundam ental principles of Catholic gentlemanliness, our hearts are heavy: for. we know it is our final farewell to the Prep and to our friends of high school days. However, time cannot blot out our pleasant memories, nor diminish the deep gratitude we feel to the men who have labored so faithfully for us.

CLASS HISTORY 4-Ar T ''H E first s trands in the silver th read of our P rep h istory were bound tigh tly in

Septem ber of the year nineteen hundred and tw enty-eight. In troduced quickly to the P rep custom s, a group of some tw o hundred new studen ts rem ained in the hall as fourth , th ird and second year studen ts le ft for their classes. Gazing appre­hensively a t each o ther, these first year lads trem bled as nam e afte r nam e was called out by F r. D avey and classes were assigned. F inally , the la s t class, 1-E, was called and the last s tuden t left for his classroom in the Jun io r Building.

I t seems b u t a short tim e ago th a t we first m et before our L atin teachers and listened a tten tive ly to the words of wisdom falling from their lips. T im e has not dim m ed, nor years erased, th a t p icture of our first day a t St. P e te r’s. T he dream of years fulfilled, we were studen ts of th a t P rep of the gallant football heroes, of enviable debaters, of genuine students. T he first strands in the silver th read of our h istory were those of friendships formed. In th a t group of new Prepsters were boys from all p arts of the State, including H oboken, and they formed firm and la s t­ing friendships. O ur years a t the school have served to m ake stronger th is welding of our hearts.

Of our first year we can say little since th a t was the beginning of our course and in th a t group were studen ts of both Science and Classical divisions. Suffice it to say th a t we are tru ly proud of the representatives of th a t F irst Y ear Class on the fields of sport. Our m em ory serves us well when it recalls the 18-0 defeat the Prep football team handed D ickinson th a t year; and again, the P e te r’s conquest in bas­ketball. W ell do we rem em ber the series of victories of our team s in every branch of sport.

E re June came, we were full-fledged Petreans and would have fought a t the mere questioning of the P rep ’s suprem acy. W hen Ju n e finally did come around, we m et w ith the Province Exam s for the first tim e and proud are we of our record. N o longer first year students, we left St. P e te r’s in Ju n e ; by Septem ber the same group expanded their chests and gave clear evidence th a t they were Second Year.

W hen A utum n had come around again, it found half of us in the classical course, the o ther ha lf ben t on science. M r. Rooney, S.J., introduced us to the terrors of Greek and L atin . W ell do we rem em ber the days of memorizing the alphabet, alpha, beta, gamma. Enm eshed as we were in the m ysteries of this strange subject, nevertheless, some found tim e to spend on the field of sport. Q uite a few of us were placed on the P rep basketball squad. Q uickly as our first year sped by, this second year w ent even more quickly, and June found us again trium phan t over the dreaded Province Exams.

O ur T h ird Y ear proved to be a m ost successful one. In spite of the heavy as­signm ents of the year, the gentle sarcasm s of M r. Higgins, S.J., served to brighten and lighten the work. M r. Rooney, S.J., again piloted our course in the study of

Greek and in June brought us to port, having a tta ined the highest class rating of all the schools in the Province.

In this year we had Bill Buenzle helping the football team on to victory and Bonnell, M cN erney and Bill B arber were representatives on the basketball squad.

If')T he Sodalists in our class were m any; the Beaudevin D ebating Society also had quite a few members from the T h ird Year Class. (J<

And now, in our last year, we entered the mazes of L atin and Greek poetry un­der the guidance of Fr. Schm itt, S.J. Quickly has the year passed, and now we find ourselves a t its close. In the beginning of the year, Jim M cN erney and Bill Buenzle brought themselves into prominence by their excellent work on the foot­ball field. T hey have tru ly earned the coveted “ P .”

D ebating found our class a fruitful field and from 4-A Bill Reilly represented St.P e te r’s against D ickinson and Bill Bauer was chosen best speaker in the Loyola D ebate. Sodality also drew upon the members of the class of 4-A; M cC arthy,Reilly, N eum ann and Bauer were among the officers. W e feel proud of our record and feel, too, th a t we have lived up to w hat was asked of us as leaders of the school.

As we come to the end of our days a t St. P e te r’s, the thought of leaving saddens avius. M emories of the four past years rise up before us, consoling us. Y et again, it is w ith happy hearts th a t we leave St. P e te r’s, confident th a t we, arm ed w ith the Jh'training received, will uphold her name, and build up even higher her reputation. T hanks are due to the teachers and Prefects who have struggled so hard to im plant in us the Jesu it culture. And while thanking them sincerely we express the hope th a t they shall not have labored in vain.

CLASS HISTORY 4-B“ T o all good things m ust come an end .” M uch tru th lies in this proverb, and

it especially in terests us, the Class of T h irty -T w o; for an end has come to our so­journ a t St. P e te r’s. And so, it is w ith a pang of sorrow together w ith a sense of pride th a t we recall those joyful m om ents well spent a t the P rep.

One b righ t Septem ber m orn four years ago, we grads, then a group of darling little cherubs, gathered in St. P e te r’s H all, where we became acquain ted w ith F a th er R ector and the o ther m em bers of the F acu lty . H aving been assigned to various classes, and having roam ed abou t the buildings, we began our careers as loyal Petreans. H ere we first learned of M r. D ’Ooge’s views on the study of L a tin ; also, we entered upon th e brain-teasing study of A lgebra. M ost of us found i t diffi­cu lt to grapple w ith these new subjects, bu t, still favored w ith our G ram m ar School knowledge, we conquered A ncient H isto ry and English. T he memories of our F irst Y ear will scarcely be forgotten.

In the Septem ber of nineteen hundred and tw enty-nine we emerged from the ranks of F irs t Y ear to the role of second year veterans. A t th is stage we noticed th a t we had been separated in to Science and Greek divisions. N otw ithstanding this separation, we, the science class, set our hearts upon the work. Guiding us through the battlem ents of Caesar was M r. O ’Brien; M r. L ester acquainted us w ith Binom ial Theorem and other algebraic intricacies. Aiding us in the b e tte r­m ent of our vocabulary and self-expression was M r. O ’Sullivan; M r. M cN ally in ­troduced us to the fascinating study of Biology.

Coming back from our vacation, we gathered in the School yard once more, but in the superior sta tu s of T h ird Y ear students. W e were notified th a t some of our com rades had fallen by the wayside. T ru ly , our T h ird Y ear afforded us m any m ental storm s. W ith M r. M clnerney as our pilot, we safely overcame the w hirl­pools and the heavy seas of Ovid and Cicero. H ere, two en tire ly new studies con­fronted us— G eom etry and Physics, bu t the guiding hands of M r. Duffy and M r. M artino proved a valuable aid in conquering our exams.

Our T h ird Y ear duties being com pleted, we entered the solemn portals of Fourth Y ear. W e found th a t from the large class of youthful F irst Y ear students four years ago, the process of selection having been com pleted, a group of tw enty-four now constitu ted the Class of 4-B. T he Class was well represented on the sporting field by Johnny Conroy, as cap tain of the football team ; also, Al Cashm an and P au l Rossi represented us on the gridiron; Jim F innerty and F ritz W ilderm ann aided the basketball team .

W hat a sad day it would be in the Class— if Sam D iFeo did not prove his abil­ity as a politician by try ing each day to in terest M r. Ecker in some big deal, or if Bill M urphy did not im itate Bill Robinson by displaying his happy feet, if Bill Gregory did no t praise his tennis team to the rank of professionals, or if Vin N olan

2/^

failed to come to school advertising W rigley’s Gum by chewing it daily, or if “P op” C urran did no t in tend to win the Golden Gloves Cham pionship or if A1 Tafero, M ickey B roadbent, or V ilar K elly ever ceased joking.

E n ter Bill F inn, our prize student and F rank M ullally, our a rtis t; then Luke M ulligan and Jim Duffy planning the French, w ith Vinnie M atthew s and Herbie Quednow telling their experiences on their short waves. Finally, comes John A rata w ith a smile th a t w on’t wear off, and the Urynowicz Tw ins try ing to refuse taking an ad from Bernie M cNeil.

Of course, from the Sacred R ostrum , there will linger the memories of “Now in Boston,” or “Look it up ,” or “L e t’s get s tarted on this T rig ,” or “H ave all your English books in Class,” and lastly bu t not least, the various echoes of the class to these orders, “Ah well” or “T he bookstore h asn ’t the books in stock.”

In our studies a select group of instructors tu tored us. M r. Goering, S.J., hailed us through the thundering speeches of Cicero and the troublous travels of Aeneas; with the cooperation of our friend, M r. Guterl, we found little difficulty w ith our English Course. Then comes M r. Ecker, S.J., who led us safely through the brain- teasing study of Chem istry; and lastly, the m ystifying mazes of Trigonom etry were thoroughly explained by M r. M ullen.

And now the day of departure is here. Before us stretch many paths. Each of us will go his way, and, due to our training received a t the Prep, each shall win success. W herever we go, we shall bear w ith us the name of St. Peter’s.

As a final message, we extend our most sincere blessing and thanks to our teach­ers and to our Prefects, who have spent so many untiring moments in guiding us.

OU R chronicle m ust be th a t of a half year since January found us about to draw the curtain upon our four years of work a t the Prep. Four pleasant years

they were, however, and a tinge of regret touched our hearts as we found ourselves stepping out from the influence of m any happy friendships. We were completing our successful voyage and leaving St. P e te r’s, bu t laden w ith the fruits of four years of the Jesu it training.

Our Class was well represented in every activity. On the gridiron we had such celebrities as Johnny H ill, Joe M cGeady, Joe Domozych, L arry Fagan, Vic Spaldo, Jim Egan and F rank Coughlin. Skippy Kelleher upheld the pride of the class on the basketball court. Needless to say, Johnny H ill was as stellar a basketeer as he was a grid-man. O utstanding among our debaters was Charlie Dolan, D ickin­son’s downfall, as was proved by his fiery rebuttal. Ed Balinski was a transform ­ation in his leading feminine role in the play.

W e express our deepest appreciation to those who have inculcated in us a knowl­edge of the better things, our teachers.

\ S ALL responded to the call for the final cu rta in in A ct IV of our all too short -**■ stay a t St. P e te r’s, new actors appeared before us. Aeneas and Hom eric heroes joined w ith Cicero on the scholastic stage; a background of T rigonom etry replaced th a t of Geom etry. As the figures flashed across the stage, our own actors were preparing for their entrance.

T he spotlight picked up the football heroes of Class 4-A and am ong thsm were Bill Buenzle, Jim M cN erney and Jack Bonnell. Continuing in its search for a th ­letes, i t fell upon “ Sheik” Beirne, our basketball representative. Again i t flashes back th is tim e upon Bill R eilly and Bill B auer, the Beaudevin orators, w ith Dwyer, M cC arthy , Ronches and G ran t also represented in the D ebating Society. Bill R eilly again appears as S tudent L ib ra rian ; the thespians of the class are Bill Bauer, Paulie D oran, Bill R eilly and Jim M cN erney. T he final scene depicts th s P e t r e a n Staff: M cC arthy B auer, Buenzle, M cN erney and Reilly. T he curtain falls. The play is over.

As we file off stage our glad voice of thanks to our teachers has in it a mingled note of sadness.

IN T H E last days of September, the members of w hat formerly constituted the classes of 3-B and 3-C were formed under the banner of the Class of 4-B.

Shortly after classes were resumed the call for football candidates was issued. Among our stellar athletes were Johnny Conroy, who captained the Prep eleven, Paul Rossi and A1 Cashm an. Then came the basketball season, to the call of which W alt W ilderm ann, Jim F innerty and A1 Cashm an responded.

Well represented in sports as we were, we excelled also in other activities. In the field of D ram atics, Bernie M cNeil, Joe Curran, Sam D iFeo and Bill M urphy stepped out before the footlights ably executing the roles assigned to them. Bill F inn carried the banner of 4-B in D ebating. Among our sodalists were Frank M ullally, M a tt Boylan, John A rata, Sam DiFeo, Vin N olan and Jim Finnerty.

In closing we offer our thanks to the instructors who have endeavored to im part to us th a t inestimable benefit of a Catholic education.

I N Septem ber of 1931, we entered the last half of T h ird Year. Some of our old classm ates were missing, b u t m ost of us returned to continue our studies a t the

Prep. W e were well represented in both intellectual and ath letic activities. Those .to receive, aw ards for excelling in studies, were: R obert Kelley, Joseph H earns, W illiam M olloy and Edw ard C urtis. Kelley and C urtis, along w ith F rank G uterl, are active m em bers of the Beaudevin D ebating Society.

T he P rep football players of the Class were C hapoutot, K ing, P rout, Lem kin and Pakenham . C hapoutot, K ing, P rout, Pakenham and Fanning were members of the basketball squad. In the forthcom ing tennis cam paign, M r. Goering has a fine player in M cD evitt. Our class basketball team is slowly coming into its own. T he sp irit of the class was clearly m anifested by our contribution to the support of the missions.

W e earnestly thank our teachers for the zealous efforts in our behalf. Surely, their labors have not been in vain.

AS T H E darkened shadows of w inter slowly lift and the warmer and more p leasant season of spring steals in upon us, we m ust naturally anticipate our

summer vacation. T hus, as each day brings us joyfully nearer th a t event, we can foresee our Class as one which has completed a year of persevering study with great success.

Bill Lynch, one of our members, represented the school in the New York Times Oratorical Contest. Lynch also had the leading role in the school play, “ Captain A pplejack.” Tony B otti was one of the three debaters who traveled to Baltimore for the Loyola debate. Bill Lynch, though on the sick list, accompanied the team. O thers of the Class were faithful members of the Sodality and the Beaudevin D e­bating Society. On the gridiron, “ R ed” Hughes helped the team to victory a t the center post; Leroy Cooney also held a position on the squad.

All in all, the year swept along successfully. Our own determ ination, with the fine patience of our instructors, has helped us reach the goal. Our act of thanks­giving is indeed sincere.

T H E ram pan t w inds of Fall had already begun to sca tter the crisp, fallen leaves before we had settled evenly into the course of studies. B ut, despite the late

s ta rt, we were soon to be found m astering the epithets of Cicero, following the hop- lites of C yrus and picking our w ay through the maze known as G eom etry. T he m onths, lightened by the hum or and com panionship th a t was ours, flew by on the golden wings of Perseus.

A decided acquisition to our Class was made a t the beginning of the second half, when a little band of “ scientists” were absorbed in to 3-B. We welcomed them w ith open arm s and, in re tu rn they soon proved their w orth. Our outstanding m embers were: Bill Breunig, captain-elect of football; Pete T im ony, s ta r center on the P rep q u in te t; K oh ta Teshim a, prom ising tw irler on the n in e ; P a t M cG rath , polished actor; John Teshim a and A nthony Dillon, leading Beaudevin m em bers; Tom M eaney, our representative on the lib rary staff.

W e wish to than k our teachers for their kind understanding, their in terest and their never-failing aid in our behalf.

R E T U R N IN G to the Prep in September, we were assigned to two classes— 3-C and 3-D . We enjoyed the prestige of being th ird year students. However,

when the grim reaper came, in the form of mid-year exams, he took a heavy toll. T he survivors were united under one class.

W hile we were learning w hat Cicero said of Catiline, the whys and the wherefores of Physics, we went in for athletics and placed several classmates on the Prep foot­ball and basketball squads. Joe Farm er, manager of football, proved capable and efficient a t this post.

A few class echoes which we will never forget:

“ Farm er, are you chewing gum again?”“ Saturday deten tion!”“ W ho pu t the Necco wafers in the m ite-box?”“T he Shadow” was recently identified with the person of Bernie Gallagher.

This m ystery solved, we close our chronicle with a vote to deep thanks to our capable teachers.

W e were very fortunate in securing capable teachers, and under their able direction we have carried on w ith very im ­pressive results.

W e were well represented in the sports circle of the Prep. On the football field we had such able perform ers to boast of as Joe M cAleer, Jim Buckley, T im Staple­ton, O ’Connell, Jacques, M cG overn and Irw in. T im Stapleton also bore our colors in basketball. Bill Keegan was on the Reserves.

W e extend our h earty thanks to our professors, who have labored so diligently in our behalf.

U M M E R and its p leasant memories had passed and early autum n once again found the Class of 2-M-2 under the sheltering roof of St. P e te r’s. A few old

members were missing, having been lost in the shuffle of exams. W ith the ardent enthusiasm of our professors, we were able to boast of ourselves as third year members in February. The Class changed its name to 3-M -2, and continued to carry on the good work. U nder the efficient leadership of our teachers, we are trying to m ake good our victorious return in September.

The Class contributed generously to the various outside activities, Sodality, de­bating, football and basketball. We made a representative showing in all of these branches.

We wish to thank the members of the Faculty for their earnest and sincere ef­forts, and we hope th a t our fu ture work may reflect credit on them.

We extend to the Class of ’32 congratulations, and we wish them every success in life.

In the middle of the first term , we suffered a very regrettable loss when M r. B riody was taken from active teaching because of illness.

I N Septem ber of this year, we of 2-B went through the process of making new friends and keeping the old ones, for, we were broken off from our classmates

of the previous year, who were traveling in the fields of science. We have made the acquaintance of th a t ancient and noble language, Greek. H aving conquered it thus far, we feel th a t our classical path from now on will be com paratively easy.

H and in hand with our classwork went our participation in school activities. H appy in the fine show of school sp irit among our members, we sent representatives to the school orchestra, to the M ulry D ebating Society, to the gridiron, to the court and to the diamond. W e had the largest num ber of members of any other class in the Sodality.

W e p a rt again for a brief space, but we exult in the thought th a t soon we shall return to this company of friends and teachers a t the Prep. Our thankful apprecia­tion to them!

due m ainly to the capable and efficient tu toring by our teachers, we passed the m id-term exams and felt th a t we had lived up to w hat was expected of us. W hile we were busied w ith our studies we did not close our ears to the call of the gridiron, for we sent forth such players as Bill M onaghan, Bob R yan and “ R ed” Duffy to uphold the trad itions of the Class. A lthough we did not place any bas­ketball players on the squad, several showed much promise and were content to p lay on the Class team .

As we near the com pletion of our final half term , we feel confident th a t we will m aster the oncoming exams w ith even more success than we did the former ones. And now we wish to thank our proficient teachers for their efforts in our behalf and also to congratulate the G raduates who will soon leave us.

W E A R E nearing the completion of our second year a t St. Peter’s and, as it draws near to a close, we look back with a feeling of mingled pride and

regret: pride for our achievement in having passed the halfway m ark in our course and regret th a t one more happy year has been left behind, bringing us tha t much nearer to the day when we leave St. P e te r’s for the last time as students. We are proud of the record established by our class in studies, in sports and in other ac­tivities. We were ably represented on the Prep football and basketball teams, and the class set a fine pace in the Inter-class Tournam ent. Ed Barden was seen at the. football game acting as a cheerleader. Ed Kane was one Of the managers of the basketball team and filled this post very efficiently.

We express here our grateful and whole-hearted thanks to our honored in­structors who have labored so diligently with us, and we intend to prove in the Province Exams th a t this time was not spent in vain. Best of luck, also, to the Class of ’32!

U R history as the Class of 2-M really began in the second term of the schoolyear. Before this term , we were scattered about in several classes. F ebruary

saw us banded together, in one of the Science Building classrooms, as 2-M.T he keynote of the Class was “sp irit.” We had plen ty of th a t. Perhaps it was

due to several fine leading spirits among us— C harlie Gebus, our president, and “ R ed ” Duffy, another of our officers.

In basketball, we pu t forward a team which rode over all opposition and worked its way in to the finals, where it gave w ay to the heavy qu in te t of Class 3 -M -l. O ur 2-M team was m ade up of the following: M olloy, Sharkey, F laherty , Carm ody, O ’Keefe and Sheehy. F rank C arm ody was also cap tain of the Prep Reserves.

A t this, the end of our chronicle, we extend our grateful thanks to the teachersof 2-M.

ON T H E first day of school, th irty-tw o boys gathered in Class 1-A and all were eager to s ta rt their High School Course a t St. P e te r’s. A t the end of the

second week, everyone was well acquainted and elected the above-mentioned offi­cers. The members of the class ardently supported the football team, as was proved by the great num ber of tickes purchased by the students. The boys of the class were also interested in debating, and a num ber of them were enrolled in the M ulry D ebating Society. We likewise supported D ram atics, and purchased over tw enty tickets for the performances.

W hen the second half of of our term began, our class was diminished by five, but the old class sp irit was there, and all buckled down to study hard. Class 1-A compiled an enviable record in the Junior Division of the Interclass Basketball Tournam ent, and looks forward to great success in baseball.

And now as we Drepare to enter our second year, we wish to thank our teach­ers for their whole-hearted cooperation, which has enabled us to complete our first year in a blaze of glory.

A S T H E cool au tum n breezes blew through the school windows, we busied our- selves w ith our new school and new com rades. A lthough we had a yearning

to be ou t hiking through the woods, we felt satisfied w ith our surroundings. As the days flew by and the flakes of snow began to fall, we well appreciated the newly acquired friendships and spent hour after hour w ith one another in p leasant com panionship.

T he m id-year exam ination came and w ent, counting in its toll a few of the members of 1-B.

/^ v N E day in September, 1931, a large group of boys from various parts of Jersey City and its vicinity; considered it their lucky day when they were brought

together into one class called 1-C. At once we took advantage of the school ac­tivities and gave our best scholar to the football team, in the person of John Ertle. This famed character also led the class basketball team through a very successful season. However, our spirit was not confined to athletic realms, for we also had m any fiery orators convincing the fellow members of the M ulry D ebating Society th a t they were polished speakers.

We are proud to say th a t we had successful results in the mid-year examinations and now are prepared to face the more difficult examinations known as the Province tests. Our Class also performed very well in the presence of Father Connell, S.J., who tested our knowledge during the year.

Now we leave F irst Year, and in departing we wish to congratulate the graduates and express our deep gratitude to our efficient teachers for their untiring efforts.

T he second term found the class partic ipating in m any class debates. These proved very in teresting and acted as an incentive to the students to join the M ulry D ebating Society. T he class basketball team was very successful, and we are look­ing forw ard to the baseball season, when our class will be prepared to display its prowess on the diam ond.

T he second term came very rapidly, and we are now engrossed in our studies and are making a final drive to overcome the dreaded Province Exams. However, with the capable force of teachers th a t are ours, we feel no fear for our success in these final tests. In closing this, our first year, we wish to extend our wishes for the u t­most success to the G raduates, who have held a position of respect in our minds.

possessing m any fine students, we were well represented in athletics, having H arry Leber play on the P rep basketball team . T he experience he gathered, while p lay ­ing w ith the Second T eam , proved invaluable to us in the In terclass T ournam ent. W e proved th a t we were equally efficient in the a r t of public speaking, when we had several members perform ing in the M ulry D ebating Society.

T he second term presented us an opportun ity to continue further our great suc­cess in studies. T he class began to be one of the regular receivers of testim onials. In this term we became interested in the baseball team , and have several members bidding for fame.

As we give sincere thanks to our teachers, who have assisted us greatly, we also wish the G raduates a great deal of success, and we feel certain th a t they will u p ­hold the traditions of St. P e te r’s.

T N T H E last year the attendance a t Sodality meetings has greatly increased. An average of two hundred Sodalists was in attendance each week. A t the meet­

ings, the recitation of the Sodalist’s Office by the Prefect was followed by a short talk . These talks were given by the M oderator or by one of the other Jesuits of the school. D uring Vocation W eek, M arch 6 to M arch 12, F r. Joseph S. Dinneen, S.J., addressed each group. H is subjects were “Vocations” and “ St. Francis X avier, M issionary P riest.”

T he Senior Sodality is composed of Third and Fourth Year Students. These m eet in the Sodality Chapel every T hursday morning a t eight-thirty o’clock. Fr. Raym ond R. Cosgrove, S.J., is the M oderator of this group.

In September the following officers were elected for the first term : John Hill, Prefect; George M cC arthy, V ice-Prefect; Arnold Neum ann, Secretary, and James F innerty, Sacristan.

Among the speakers a t the weekly meetings were, Fr. John Dwyer, S.J., of St. Andrew-on-Hudson, who spoke on “ Study as an Aid to P u rity ”, Fr. Lawrence Stanley, S.J., whose topic was “T he Blessed Virgin and P u rity ”, Father W illiam S. Dolan, S.J., Prefect of Studies, chose for his topic “The Sodality, I ts Influence on C haracter.” Among the other speakers of the year were Fr. John Smith, S.J., and M r. W illiam Gleason, S.J., both of St. Peter’s College. Throughout the year Fr. Cosgrove, the M oderator, gave talks to the Sodalists on various subjects, each of which was in keeping w ith the current season.

SENIOR SODALITY OFFICERS

Fr. Cosgrove form ed for the first tim e the H ospital Squad. T h is is composed of volunteer Sodalists, and its purpose is, as the nam e indicates, to visit the sick a t the H ospital. E ach week several m em bers of th is group go to St. F rancis’ H ospital, tak ing w ith them a num ber of periodicals and magazines. T heir d u ty is to cheer up the convalescent and in th is w ay they have succeeded adm irably. D uring the first term the squad was composed of John H ill, Charles D olan, W illiam Reilly, P a trick M cG rath , and A nthony B otti. In the second term a new squad was form ed, and the following volunteered: W illiam Reilly, A nthony B otti, P a trick M cG rath , W illiam Bauer, F rancis H ughes, Lawrence H ill, R aym ond Beachner and Roger M etzler.

In February officers were elected for the second term . George M cC arthy was chosen Prefect, W illiam Reilly, V ice-Prefect, W illiam B auer, Secretary, and Francis M ullally, Sacristan. A nthony B otti was organist a t the meetings.

On Friday , Jan u ary 22, the Sodality of St. M ichael’s H igh School, Jersey C ity, held a Seminar. St. P e te r’s was invited to a ttend and more than one hundred students took advantage of the opportunity . T en of St. P e te r’s Sodalists were among the num ber to speak.

T he Senior Sodality was well represented. Six of the speakers were members of this group. George M cC arthy and Charles D olan opened up for the Prep w ith a discussion of “W hat the Sodality has done for St. P e te r’s .” “T he K nights of the

Page ninety-three

Blessed Sacram ent” was a topic discussed by W illiam Finn and A nthony Dillon. John H ill and W illiam Reilly gave an account of the H ospital Squad and its work.

T he Second Y ear Sodalists who spoke a t the Seminar were R obert Fischer and Thom as Lucid, both of whom discussed the mission activities of St. P e te r’s.

T he Junior Sodality was. represented among the speakers by John E rtle and Theodore Beach. These took for their topic, “W hy W e Need Leaders.”

T he In term ediate Sodality is composed of Second Year students. I t meets every W ednesday m orning a t e igh t-th irty o ’clock. M r. Daniel T u rbett, S.J., is the M oderator. Officers elected for the term were: R obert Fischer, Prefect; Thom as Lucid, V ice-Prefect; John M olloy, Secretary, and Joseph Driscoll, Sacristan.

D uring the year the M oderator addressed the group upon the different titles of the Blessed Virgin. F r. W illiam S. D olan S.J., F ather Lawrence Stanley, S.J., and F r. R aym ond Cosgrove, S.J., were the o ther speakers. T he subjects included “D evotion to our L ady” and “ T he Sodalist and the Blessed Sacram ent.”

T he Junior or F irs t Y ear Sodality has as its M oderator, M r. H arold M urphy, S.J. M eetings are held on T uesday mornings a t eigh t-th irty o’clock. T he officers elected in September for the year were: Theodore Beach, Prefect; Thomas G eraghty, Vice-Prefect, and Ludger D itzel, W illiam D rennan and W illiam Levy, Consultors. M r. M urphy, S.J., addressed the meetings on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary, and the special feasts of the year. F r. Cosgrove, S.J., spoke on “The Soldiers of C hrist,” and M r. M cGuire, S.J., spoke on the title of the second station, “Jesus C arrying the Cross.”

U nder the care of the Sodalities is the K nights of the Blessed Sacrament, an association which has for its object the fostering of the habit of frequent Com­munion. E very F riday morning a representative num ber of students approached the a lta r rail.

M ission activities a t St. P e te r’s were as active as ever during the year. TheLenten m ite boxes told the Story of the studen ts’ generosity in self-denial. Theannual M ission D rive netted more than five hundred dollars which was forwarded to the Philippine Missions. A num ber of inspiring letters of thanks were received from the Jesu it Fathers on the Missions.

Thus, it can be readily seen th a t the spiritual organizations a t St. Peter’s have continued in a flourishing condition. T he office of Fr. Cosgrove, Student Counsel­lor, has become the headquarters of one of the most vigorous and successful of school activities.

A T T H E very first m eeting of the year, M r. George Goering, S.J., M oderator of the Beaudevin D ebating Society, m ade it known th a t he wished to m ake this

year a banner season for debating. Indeed, the P etrean orators won their first de­bate of the year; and again, m any tim id, weak-voiced studen ts were transform ed in to bold, fiery orators.

A t the second m eeting the formal election of officers took place. Charles Dolan was elected president, W illiam Reilly, vice-president, and John Teshim a, secretary. N o small p a rt of the success of the debating society is due to the splendid coopera­tion received by M r. Goering, S.J., from these honored m em bers of the society.

T h e first m ajor step in speaking came in N ovem ber, when an Open Forum was held on U nem ploym ent Insurance. T he speakers were: Charles D olan, W illiam Reilly, John Teshim a, K ohta Teshim a, A nthony D illon, F rancis Greene, A nthony B otti, W illiam F inn, Jam es F innerty , W illiam B auer, F rancis G uterl, George M c­C arthy , W illiam Lynch and R obert Kelley. From the num ber of these speakers M r. Goering, S.J., picked a team of four to debate against D ickinson in w hat was to be the first interscholastic debate between these two institutions.

T he team chosen was composed of W illiam F inn, W illiam Reilly, Charles D olan, and A nthony D illon as alternate . On D ecem ber 21 the P rep debaters m et M iss Jeannette P a tt, H arold Komoski and Gordon C raig of Dickinson on the subject of

Chain Stores. A fter a most interesting discussion, the Prep debaters won the unanim ous decision of the judges. T he P etrean victory was due m ainly to the fiery argum ents of Charles Dolan.

A t the first meeting of the new term the election of officers took place. W illiam Reilly was elected president, A nthony B otti, vice-president, and John Teshima, secretary. These members were thus honored for their splendid work in the society.

M r. Goering, S.J., then arranged a debate w ith the Bellarmine D ebating Society of St. P e te r’s College. The fiery argum ents and experience of the Collegians easily took the toll of the P rep debaters, who were led by W illiam Lynch and Anthony Dillon.

T he next event scheduled was a debate between two Beaudevin Teams, held be- for the St. Jo h n ’s H oly Nam e Society of Jersey City. T he subject discussed was Compulsory U nem ploym ent Insurance. T he affirmative side was upheld by An­thony B otti and Anthony Dillon, and the negative stand was taken by Robert Kelley and W illiam Bauer. A fter a heated battle of argum ents, the negative was declared victorious.

On February 26 the Beaudevin D ebating Team traveled to Baltimore, M aryland, to engage the Loyola team in a debate on the subject, “ Resolved, T h a t the States E nact Legislation Providing for Compulsory Unemployment Insurance to which

the Em ployer M u st C on tribu te .” T he St. P e te r’s team was composed of A nthony B otti, W illiam B auer, A nthony D illon and W illiam Lynch. W illiam Lynch, originally chosen to speak in th is debate, was unable to do so, due to illness. The Loyola speakers were W illiam Langm an, R alph Gehring and B ernard Rice. Fol­lowing a very closely contested debate, the Loyola team was aw arded the victory. Ind iv idual honors, however, w ent to a Beaudevin m an, W illiam Bauer, who was unanim ously declared best speaker of the evening’s debate.

T he disappointm ent of forensic defeat was soon forgotten, due to the kindness of our hosts, who proved th a t Southern hosp ita lity is characteristic of Loyola. D u r­ing the three-day stay a t Baltim ore, visits were m ade to Annapolis N aval Academy and W oodstock College.

A t W oodstock we had a short reunion w ith M r. Edw ard J. H ogan, S.J., former M oderator of the Beaudevin D ebating Society. I t was quite fitting th a t, as we closed the year of debating we should have a chance of giving an account of our work to M r. H ogan, S.J. For he, as former M oderator of the D ebating Society, was m ost in terested in the work of the debaters, some of whom he himself, a t the expense of m uch tim e and effort, had helped to tra in . Also, the debaters had a chance to close their year w ith an expression of appreciation to the old M oderator as well as to the new.

On W ednesday, April 6, tryou ts were held for the Prize D ebate. T he decision

of the judges, followed by the team appointm ents of the M oderator, resulted in the following team s: Affirmative, composed of T h ird Year M en, Anthony Botti, An­thony Dillon, Francis Greene, and Lawrence H ill, a lternate; N egative, composed of Fourth Y ear men, W illiam Reilly, W illiam Bauer, R obert Kelley, and Francis G uterl, alternate. T he subject of the Prize D ebate had already been agreed upon. I t read: “Resolved, T h a t the Seventy-second Congress Should Refuse Any F ur­ther Revision of W ar D ebt Agreements.” T he debate was scheduled for Friday, April 29.

In closing the chronicle of the year, the members of the Beaudevin D ebating Society wish to express their grateful appreciation to their M oderator, M r. George Goering, S.J., for his keen in terest and helpful guidance during the past fruitful year of debating.

M U L R Y D E B A T IN G S O C IE T Y/ ^ v N O C T O B E R 7, 1931, A nthony B otti, re tired president, called the first m eet­

ing of the M ulry D ebating Society to order. N om inations for officers were held, and a t the next m eeting M ichael Saliski was elected p resident; A lbert Griffin, vice-president; D aniel W allace, secre tary ; and John O ’D onnell, sergeant-at-arm s.

M r. S turtzer, S.J., the new M oderator, soon aroused in terest in debating by his weekly ta lk s on the correct m anner of public speaking. E arly in the fall he an ­nounced th a t a mock tria l would be held la ter in the year. A series of debates was held and there soon arose betw een some m em bers of the society a keen rivalry which was m anifested in the hard-fought debates which resulted. In the first de­bate, “ Resolved, T h a t In d ia Should Be G ranted H er Independence” , George Foley and D aniel W allace argued for the affirm ative; John O ’D onnell and R ichard G uinan defended the negative. T h e decision was aw arded to the negative. A fter the debate there was an in terval of extem poraneous speaking. T h is period follows every debate and is the m ost popular p a rt of each m eeting.

A fter the second debate of the first school term , the eagerness of our m em bers to engage in these contests showed itself. T he proposal, th a t thereafter, three men instead of two should support th e affirmative, and three o ther men the negative of a proposition, was heartily accepted by a unanim ous vote. W ith th is new arrange­m ent in operation during N ovem ber and D ecem ber, the m ajo rity of our m embers had presented the house w ith m any argum ents.

At the m eeting of D ecem ber 2, 1931, the mock tria l was discussed and p repara­tions were m ade to hold the tria l ju st before the C hristm as holidays. T he M ooney Case was selected for the mock trial. On D ecem ber 16, 1931, the debating hall was su itab ly transform ed in to a courtroom . F a th er D olan S.J., the P refect of Studies, honored us w ith his presence. M r. C antillon, S.J., presided as judge. Jam es R eu ter was the Prosecuting A ttorney; Joseph M cC arthy was his assistant. Thom as Lucid was the a tto rney for the Defense, and D aniel W allace, his assistant. Jam es F itzgerald took the p a rt of the defendant, Thom as M ooney; and R ichard Scott, th a t of Officer of the Law. T he witnesses for the Prosecution were: John O ’Donnell as M r. Sam uels; A lbert Griffin as M r. M acdonald and Lawrence H erb as M iss Sm ith. Jam es R euter tried to prove th a t M r. M ooney was a t the scene of the crime ju st before i t was com m itted, and th a t, a few days before the crime, M rs. M ooney had procured some powerful explosives.

Thom as Lucid then called his w itnesses: W illiam M ortenson as M rs. M ooney; M ichael Saliski as M r. Sm ith; and Joseph Driscoll as Chief Peterson. T he D e­fense undertook to prove th a t M r. M ooney was no t a t the scene of the crim e and could not have com m itted it. A fter the witnesses were examined and cross- examined, each a tto rney sum m arized his case. T he Judge gave instructions to the ju ry , which retired and soon returned w ith the verdict, “N o t G uilty .”

Page n inety-n ine

At the first meeting of 1932 new officers were elected. Thom as Lucid was chosen president; John O ’Neill, vice-president; John O ’Donnell, secretary, and Joseph M cC arthy was selected sergeant-at-arm s. In the course of this new term , a series of inter-class debates was arranged. In the discussion, “ Resolved, T h a t the Baumes Law Should Be R epealed” , a rivalry of two years’ standing was settled, when Class 2-B, on the negative, represented by A lbert Griffin, M ichael Saliski and Joseph M cC arthy , won a decision over Jam es R euter, Thom as K en t and John Lynch of Class 2-A. Continuing this program , Class 1-E through the voices of W alter L ittle , R ichard Scott and Em m et N orton, upheld the proposition, “ R e­solved, T h a t the A irplanes Are M ore Im portan t than the Ship as a M eans of W ar­fare.” Jam es D onnelly, Thom as G eraghty and Jam es K earney of Class 1-A argued for the Negative. T he following week, Joseph Copes, Raym ond Jordan and Peter Beronio of Class 1-C had a tilt w ith some of the orators from Class 1-D, repre­sented by John Pindar, Lawrence M urchan, and Jam es Fallon. In concluding these inter-class debates, W illiam F innerty , Thom as Rooney and W illiam D rennan of Class 1-B argued against three volunteers from other F irs t Year divisions, D on­ald C lark, John C arm ody and D avid Valenti.

Jam es R euter, Thom as K ent and A lbert Griffin were chosen to uphold the forensic ability of St. P e te r’s in the debate scheduled with St. Francis X avier’s H igh School, to be held the la tte r p a rt of April.

On M arch 12 the F irs t Y ear members of the M ulry D ebating Society received and accepted a challenge from the Junior or Freshm an Society of D ickinson High School. Of the th irteen en tran ts in the tryouts, the following qualified in order: Em m et N orton, Jam es M urray , and R aym ond Jordan.

D uring the year the attendance a t meetings was large, and the debates in terest­ing. For the m any pleasant afternoons, and for much practical experience in pub­lic speaking, the M ulry D ebating Society wishes to express its thanks and ap­preciation to the M oderator, M r. Sturtzer, S.J., and to the officers, whose unselfish work, in no small degree, made possible the success of the Society.

D R A M A T I C STT'A R LY in N ovem ber the first m eeting of the D ram atic Society was called to

order by M r. H aro ld M urphy , S.J. T he officers nam ed for the year were: W illiam Lynch, p residen t; C harles O Brien, v ice-president; John Conroy, secretary ; W illiam R eilly , treasurer. A t th is gathering, held in the D ebating H all, M r. M urphy read a synopsis of the p lay selected for presentation , “ C ap ta in A pplejack,” by W alter H ackett. N am es were entered for the various p a rts in the perform ance

and a date was set for the tryouts. A fter keen com petition among some fifty candidates, a cast was selected. T here followed long a f­ternoons of fa ith fu l p rac tise ; these, however, did not chill the a rdor of the P etrean thespians, who, w ith great enthusiasm , set abo u t the task of perfecting them selves in their respective roles.

A word abou t the play. “ C ap­ta in A pplejack” is three acts ofA rabian N ig h t’s adventure. Am­brose Applejohn, living w ith his sta id old Uncle D udley and his uncle’s p re tty w ard, Poppy Faire, is so bored by his existence th a t he advertises his house for sale and decides to seek adventure. H e finds adventure — b u t w ithoutleaving his house. H e had been looking for the “ flash” of love a t first sight, and he imagines he sees it in the beautiful A nna Valeska,

supposedly a R ussian dancer escaped from M oscow w ith priceless jewels and p u r­sued by a terrib le Bolshevist, C ount Borolsky. Ambrose offers his house as a refuge. T hus M adam e V aleska learns of a secret parchm ent giving details of h id­den treasure, and this is w hat she is after. T he parchm ent claims th a t one of A pplejohn’s ancestors was a notorious pirate. T o guard against prowling burglars, Ambrose sits up all night, only to fall asleep and dream th a t he is a pirate, C aptainA pplejack. T he p ira te scene is then enacted, and after it comes a real scene ju st asexciting as the dream .

T he play was presented on the evenings of Jan u ary tw enty-seventh and January

tw enty-eighth a t St. P e te r’s H all. At each perform ance a very appreciative audi­ence, composed of paren ts and friends of P rep students, was a t hand to enjoy the evening of vivid A rabian N ig h t’s entertainm ent.

W illiam Lynch, im m aculately tailored, as Ambrose Applejohn, faithfully por­

trayed the p a rt of a handsome English bachelor, chafing under the routine life in the home of his conservative uncle. Again he pu t on to perfection the bluff good nature of the p irate captain, or the blasting anger of a bold buccaneer. His withering “ B last ye! ” re-echoed about the school for weeks afterwards. Ever a t his service, was the slim, vivacious “Poppy”, a character interpreted by the ever- smiling E d Balinski. Between the acts, favorable feminine comment on his acting was heard whispered among the audience. Cyril F itzpatrick, his freckles hidden beneath his make-up, had all the air and gesticulation of a foreign adventuress. Count Borolsky was so smooth and clever a villain, th a t his off-stage identity would hardly be traceable to Charlie O ’Brien. T he la tter also took the p art of the rebellious first m ate on the p irate ship.

A ristocratic old Uncle D udley, irritable and grumpy, yet a t the same time, kind, was well carried off by P a t M cG rath, one of our veteran actors. Frank Greene and

F rank Greene also gave an O rien tal touch to things by a m agical change in to the C hinam an of the p ira te scene. Joe C urran , acting his usual self, w alked on stage as a dapper salesm an. T eetering on his toes, his

thum bs in his vest, a confident smile on his m oustached face, he won the h earty ap ­proval of the audience. Jam es R euter, very respectable and dignified, was Lush, the perfect English butler. A t the first evening’s perform ance, this p a rt was ad ­m irably portrayed by the extem poraneous acting of W illiam B auer, who had had b u t a few m inutes of preparation . D ennett, blue-coated policeman, was a typical English “ B obby” in the person of A nthony B otti. And last, b u t very effective and colorful, was the m urderous-looking crew of p irates, b lood-thirsty , and fantastically costum ed. T his evil lo t fell to a hand-picked group of Prep huskies.

G reat credit m ust be given, too, to the other m embers of the D ram atic Society, who helped to m ake the p lay a success: under the guidance of M r. S turtzer, S.J., the business com m ittee; M anager, W illiam B auer; A ssistants, W alter B roadbent and L arry H ill; and the executive staff, composed of John Conroy, Jim Buckley and G erry Hughes.

Since the D ram atic Society is one of the school organizations w ith a definite purpose and place in the course of education a t St. P e te r’s, the efforts of the M oderator and the members of the society cannot be too highly commended. A m odern play was enacted by the students w ith em inent success. T he response to the call for com petition in the tryou ts was very generous and enabled the M odera­to r to unearth some fine dram atic ta len t among the students. This ta len t has been

developed by participation in the school play, as is evident to all who witnessed the performance. T he members of the business staff also gained much practical experi­ence in dram atics by taking p art in the production of “C aptain A pplejack.”

In conclusion, a word of appre­ciation m ust be said in behalf of those who gave so generously of their time behind the scenes. W ithout them , the play could not have been the success th a t it was. H aving taken this rapid survey of the year’s dram atic endeavor, we again congratulate all upon their achievement. W e pay a high but a due compliment when we say th a t “ C aptain A pplejack”, under the able coaching of M r. M urphy, S.J., has m arked an unusually suc­cessful season for the D ram atic Society.

M ost of us are so well pleased w ith the presen t location of the L ib rary on the m ain floor of the Science B uilding th a t we have forgotten its former location on W arren Street. W e were on W arren S treet until C hristm as of this past year.

T he present site is the least objectionable of possible sites. I t is not in the cen­te r of the school’s three buildings bu t it is in the building which contains the greatest num ber of classrooms and students. I t occupies the one room in the three buildings suited to the needs of a growing lib rary and can easily be reached by students from the o ther two buildings.

T he policy inaugurated tw o years ago, of spending every cent of the L ib ra ry ’s share of the studen t activities fee for lib rary uses, has been continued. Eighty-five per cent of .this fee is spent for new books, ten per cent for the subscriptions to our fifty-eight m agazines and five per cent for necessary supplies, such as charging cards, catalog cards and the like.

In its present book content and in its buying policy, the L ib rary is em phatically a C atholic s tu d en t’s library . B y calling it a specialized student library , we mean th a t the books we have and those we buy are no t intended for the teachers’ use, b u t for the use of boys of high school age. T he volumes on all subjects are not those w ritten for the specialist or for m atured ad u lt reading, bu t for norm al boys who find ab strac t treatises or page-long footnotes ra ther dull.

T h is does no t mean, however, th a t our teachers have not been welcome and have no t used our L ibrary . Our records show as m any as twenty-five books out a t one

L IB R A R Y STA FF

tim e in the names of teachers. In history and literature especially, the L ibrary has much to offer the teacher.

B y calling it a Catholic lib rary we mean th a t we have something to offer which the finest public and university libraries, such as N ew ark and Princeton, do not offer. T h a t is, a selection of books about our faith which answer on this subject all the questions of a curious student.

T his year the talks on the use and functions of a library were resumed by M rs. M . B. Donnelly, a librarian w ith years of experience. One result of these lectures was the thoughtful essays w ritten by the students on the needs of the school library.

T hankful appreciation for the splendid operation of the school library is due especially to M r. Joseph Cantillon, S.J., L ibrarian, and to his capable and efficient staff: W illiam Reilly, Student L ibrarian, Roger M etzler, Joseph B urghardt, Robert Fischer, George Foley, Thom as M eaney, Em m et N orton, D onald Smith, Raymond Valenti and Thom as Cleary.

Union H ill. The Petreans, displaying an a ttack th a t startled the opposition, were too powerful for the Union team.

T he Prep began its assault in the first period when Greene, Buckley and Mc- Aleer advanced the ball to the eight yard line from which M cAleer scored. C aptain John Conroy added the extra point.

In the next period, Bill Breunig, the star of the game, snatched a pass tha t was intended for Pete Lynch, Union cap­tain, and cantered th irty yards to in­crease the score.

Charlie Greene did the m ajor part of the ball carrying during the second half. On the second play he dashed off tackle for a touchdown, and Conroy added the extra point.

M inus the services of C aptain Con­roy, the P rep football team was obliged to fight too th and nail for its th ird county trium ph. T h e final score was 6-0 and on several occasions during the gam e the outlook was dull for St. P e te r’s when Berg and N ovotny of Em erson placed the ball w ithin scoring distance. T he only ta lly against E m ­erson cam e in the opening m inutes when Jim Buckley, acting captain , on a neatly executed spinner-play crossed the goal line a fte r a fifteen yard can-

a ttack . T he team scored in every period npardonable lapse by tallying twice in the

final canto.A fter working the pigskin down to

the e igh t-yard line, Buckley, behind perfect interference, w ent around end to register the first score. C aptain John C onroy continued his rem arkable kicking when he chalked up the extra po in t by placem ent. In the next period the P rep launched another drive th a t resulted in C harlie Greene crossing the final chalkm ark.

T he M em orial team succeeded in staving off the scoring punch of the M aroon and W hite in the th ird period, bu t in the final q uarter Joe M cAleer and Bill Buenzle tallied for the team .

ter. A t this point the game settled down to a hard fought encounter w ith neither team displaying a scoring punch.

T he P etreans’ next encounter was the first game for the city title. On Election D ay morning the Prep m et a stubborn Lincoln eleven, which proved to be the first team capable of crossing the Petrean goal line. This feat was accomplished by Gardener of Lincoln, who received a pass from Andriola. This score pu t the Prep in the rear. I f the team needed a tonic, th a t touchdown provided it. For alm ost im m ediately Johnny Conroy celebrated his re tu rn to the line-up by block­ing and recovering Seeland’s pun t on the two-yard line. Joe McAleer then scored on a crash through center. In the final period a pass from Greene to McAleer pushed across the final tally for the Petreans. Thus St. P e te r’s chalked up its fourth consecutive county win.

Coach Tom M yers started his second team out after Dickinson Evening bu t was obliged to insert his regulars when thS “Owls” launched an a ttack th a t startled the reserves. Soon a pass from McAleer to T im ony gave the Petreans a 6-0 lead. At this point John H ill began some spectacular playing. He, aided by Pete Timony, advanced the ball to the eight yard stripe from which he scored off tackle. All scoring ceased for the half.

In the next period Hill, by din t of quick thinking, scored on a seventy yard run.

O’Connell, Greene, Hughes, McAleer

H ere D ickinson Evening argued th a t th e ball was dead. However, since Referee H orne had no t blown his whistle, the ball was declared to have been still in play. A t th is ju n c tu re the “ Owls” w alked off the field and refused to resum e play, caus­ing R eferee H orne to forfeit the game to St. P e te r’s by a score of 1-0.

B oasting a record of five stra ig h t victories, the P rep team traveled out to Prince­ton only to be repulsed by a heavier H un School team a t a 19-0 score.

K en Sandback, All S ta te halfback, proved to be too m uch for the Petreans and as a resu lt they were forced to acknowledge defeat a fte r a hard fought battle .

Sandback s ta rted off in the first q uarter when he took a pass from Schwenk to the four-yard line. Im m ediately, he crashed over for the score. H e continued his sensational playing in to the th ird period when he broke off tackle, stopped and re­versed his end, to chalk up another tally . H e then succeeded in converting the ex tra point.

U n til the la s t few m inutes of p lay the H un scoring punch was inactive due to flashy playing by Conroy and Buenzle. B ut in the final canto Schneider received a pass from Sandback and brought the final score to 19-0.

Still sm arting under the defeat received from H un, the Peterites took the field on Thanksgiving m orning, determ ined to repulse their ancient rival, Dickinson.

team th a t opposed them . T hey learned th a t there was no stopping the fleet-footed A1 B arabas, D ickinson’s All S tate halfback. O ’Reilly succeeded in scoring the first touchdown bu t then surrendered the spotlight to his team -m ate, Barabas. He was superb. H is winged feet carried him over the tu rf with the speed of a deer. A fter the game was over, it was learned th a t he had am assed thirty-one points. Three of these touchdowns came as the result of long runs.

T he only P etrean touchdown came as the result of Joe M cAleer’s fifteen-yard run. C aptain Conroy added the extra point.

B A S K E T B A L LA T T H E first call for basketball candidates, Coach M yers was confronted w ith

a group of inexperienced players. For in the mid-season of last year, he had lost his en tire team . As is characteristic of him , T om m y M yers, w ithout com ­plaining. set abou t rounding ou t a new team .

St. P e te r ’s engaged its first county team a fte r three days rest from football and lost to U nion H ill by a score of 26-13. T h e P etreans fought stubborn ly th rough­ou t th e first ha lf b u t w eakened noticeably in the second half. T h e P rep began well and due to fine p laying by Johnny H ill, stellar forw ard, St. P e te r’s fought U nion H ill to a tie in the first q u arte r, 4-4. Still displaying a brand of ball th a t s ta rtled the U nion H ill team , the P rep proceeded to roll up points to lead a t half tim e by a 12-9 score, thanks to a th ree po in t p lay by H ill.

T h e s tra in of h a rd playing began to take its toll in the second half and Coach W rig h t’s basketeers took advantage of the weakening P repsters and coasted through to a 26-13 win.

S m arting under the defea t sustained a t the hands of U nion H ill, St. P e te r’s set out to win over D em arest. However, the poor playing condition of the O akland A rena ham pered the sty le of bo th team s, for the players slid all over the court and, on several occasions, lost sure baskets due to this disadvantage. T he final score showed D em arest w inning out by a 9-7 score, due to a basket by Kress, lanky H oboken centerm an.

P lay ing three successive games on three different courts, largely explained the P rep ’s th ird county loss. W hen the P etreans seemed to have found the range of the basket, the half ended causing them to change baskets a fte r a stubborn 15-14 first half. Again, the second half proved fatal to the P rep and they lost out by a28-19 score. Jack D elaney and Bill B reunig were the high scorers for the Prep, tally ing eleven points between them .

Coach M yers shifted abou t his line-up in an effort to break in to the winning colum n b u t lost ou t to D ickinson Evening, by a 36-13 score. Failure of the Petrean guards to check the scoring of D ollard and Thom pson was the cause of this down­fall. T h is pa ir tallied tw enty-tw o points while the entire Prep team tallied only th irteen points for the en tire game. George O ’N eil, a new-comer to the team , scored five of these m arkers in the last half.

T h e P rep ’s next game was w ith the rangy St. M ichael’s team of Union City. Again a poor last half took the toll of the Petreans as they fought to an 18-10 score a t half tim e, bu t then failed to come back and allowed Form osa and M ar- tinelli to rain points through the basket in the final half until they scored a 33-19 win over the Petreans. O ’N eil and Breunig were the P rep ’s only consistent sc "ers. K ing played a fine defensive game.

St. P e te r’s played its first game away a t the Bayonne gym where they met a plucky Bayonne five. W hen the game began, it looked as though it would be an evenly m atched battle , since the score a t the end of the first quarter stood 2-2. Still playing inspired ball, St. P e te r’s scored point after point and due to Breunig’s fine playing trailed a t half tim e only by an 11-10 score.

In the th ird quarter Bayonne’s superiority became more evident as they ran up seven points while the Prep tallied three. Bayonne continued to gain until the final score stood 24-17. T he playing of Tim ony was the feature of the game. H e tallied six points and held H anks, Bayonne center, scoreless.

Still sm arting from five consecutive defeats, St. P e te r’s proceeded to drub Seton H all by a score of 26-14. T he poor passing a ttack of the Prep was replaced by a sm oothly passing machine th a t gained momentum as the game wore on. The flashy playing of C hapoutot and Breunig gave the Prep a 13-4 lead a t the half. Coach M yers then inserted his scrubs, who held their own in scoring, tallying thirteen points to Seton’s four, to make the final score 26-14.

St. P e te r’s met its next defeat a t the hands of M emorial High school. The orange-clad warriors were too much for the Petreans, who lost by a 34-22 score. H eavy scoring by C hapoutot featured the game.

Again the Prep tasted defeat after a hard-fought encounter with Union Hill.

P R E P R E S E R V E S

T h e final score was 22-14 and C hapou to t was the whole show for the Petreans, while K ing featured on the defense.

John H ill and Joe K elleher played the ir last game w ith the Petreans in the D em ­arest gam e a t H oboken. These tw o lads tried to stave off defeat, bu t were unable to do so. T h e P rep played its best in the second half, bu t was unable to upset the H obokenites and lost by a 24-16 score.

T h e P rep ’s next county game was one for the c ity title . B u t the flashy playing of L incoln sen t St. P e te r’s crashing to defeat by a 30-1S score. T he Petreans were to ta lly outp layed by a great Lincoln team th a t scored alm ost a t will. Bob Reveille, a form er Prepm an, played very well for Lincoln.

A fter th is defeat St. P e te r’s was determ ined to score a victory. W ith this end in view, they again played the St. M ichael’s basketeers, s tartling them by the brand of ball p layed in the first period, when the score stood 4-4. However, the de­fense of St. M ichael’s tightened and St. P e te r’s was unable to score w ith con­sistency; so the Green and W hite team hum bled the P rep by a 24-13 score.

St. P e te r’s P rep next engaged the St. P e te r’s College Freshm en in a game th a t created m uch rivalry . B oth team s were anxious to score. T he P rep team staged a rem arkable perform ance and led a t the end of the first quarter by an 8-2 score, by d in t of D elaney’s fine playing. However, the Frosh p u t on a spree of its own and a t half-tim e the score read 15-10.

Page one hundred tw en ty -fiv e

A t this juncture D elaney and Breunig tightened the Prep defense and the Col­lege Freshm en could only score three points while the Prep amassed eighteen points to win by a 33-13 score.

Flushed w ith this victory, St. P e te r’s m et a strong Em erson team led by Jerry M yerson and lost by a 29-10 score. T he Prep here played the worst game of the season and it was only a m atter of time until they lost.

Coach M y er’s charges m et Lincoln for the second time and threw quite a scare into the Slanesmen before they were eclipsed in a 27-16 defeat. The Prep opened an a ttack th a t gave them a 6-2 advantatge a t the quarter. T hey continued to play sterling ball and a t half tim e trailed 9-8. Once more a concentrated second-half drive of the opposition brought a defeat to the Prep. Bill Breunig was the star of the game, scoring th irteen markers.

St. P e te r’s next engaged D ickinson Evening and were overwhelmed by a 24-10 defeat. Again Bill Breunig shone for the Prep.

Em erson H igh received quite a shock when it was obliged to fight tooth and nail for a 34-18 trium ph. Though the score indicates a one-sided melee, the game was not uninteresting. T he Prep fought hard , but trailed 15-10 a t intermission. B ut in the final half they torm ented the Bluebelles before falling into a 34-18 defeat.

St. P e te r’s next trium phed over Seton H all by a score of 23-14. The Prep started an a ttack th a t the Setonians were unable to halt. Jack D elaney and Hughes starred for the Prep.

T he final game of the season was w ith Dickinson. The stage was arranged for a m ajor upset. T he Prep went about accomplishing it and trailed a t half time by a 9-8 score. However, the second half proved the undoing of the Prep, as Dickinson rolled points to win by a 27-19 score. Rydrewski and King were the high scorers for the game.

D espite a seemingly poor season, too much credit cannot be given to Coach Tom m y M yers for his ceaseless efforts to mold his men into a smooth-working machine. T he seasons to come will prove these efforts of the coach to be most fruitful. T he season past has proved th a t sports a t St. P e te r’s are carried on by a deeper motive power than the im petus of transient victories. Tom m y is a builder — he looks to the future. T he great team of 1929-1930, Hudson County Cham­pions, were the fru it of three years’ molding. M ost of the boys on this year’s squad, all scrubs or new recruits a t the beginning of the season, will be tried veterans a t the middle of next season and will make a big bid for another Prep Hudson County Cham pionship in the 1932-1933 season.

B A S E B A L LI1 T E R a tw o-year lay-off, St. P e te r’s again has a baseball team . Coach Tom m y

M yers was desirous of obtain ing all the m aterial possible. W ith th is end in view, he in itia ted an in terclass baseball league. On the first day of Spring, M arch 21, C oach M yers issued a call for b a tte ry m aterial. A bout tw enty boys tried for p itcher and the ' sam e num ber for the catching position. Im m ediately C harlie Greene, E d W elter and T im S tap leton began to stan d ou t am ong the tw irlers; John C onroy and Joe M cA leer, am ong th e receivers. A bout two weeks la ter, the first call for the en tire team was sounded and abou t two hundred boys flocked to the field. A lthough m ost of these had not played high school baseball, a g reat num ber were seasoned perform ers developed in the sandlots.

Since th is is to be a tria l season, F r. S tanley, S.J., has compiled an eleven-game schedule. W ith T om M yers a t the helm, we feel qu ite certain th a t the P rep will experience a successful season.

The following editorial appeared in the H U D S O N D I S P A T C H

for the issue of Tuesday, A pril 19, 1932

St. Peter’s College Asks $750,000 From 75,000 Persons

In asking the public for $750,000 in these times, to build a new co l leg e bu ild ing , the Jesuits of St. P eter ’s C ollege , Jersey City, have presented their case to the pu blic in a manner befitting the times.

T h e Jesuits ask for $750,000, a large sum.

H o w ev er , they are asking 75,000 persons to sub­scribe $10 each, to be paid in m onthly installments of $1 each.

P a y in g $1 per m onth is m uch easier than paying $10 down, or even paying in quarterly installments.

St. P e ter ’s C o llege has a notable record in Jersey City, cover ing a period o f 53 years. T h e Jesuits are not paid for teaching. It has been w e ll said, “they have no pockets in their clothes.” I f the Jesuits had been paid an average salary of $2,000 a year for 53 years, they w ou ld have earned $1,387,000.

T h e ir tuition fees have been small, m uch too sm all to be profitable. T y p ica l of the Jesuits, no student has ever been turned away from St. P eter’s for non-paym ent of tuition.

T h e Jesuits have fitted their proposition to the tim es; 75,000 contributors w anted; $10 each, pay­able $1 per month. A nd like Shakespeare’s quality of mercy, it w i l l be tw ice blest, for $750,000 w il l not only build a new college, but it w i l l provide em ploym ent for 400 men for one year.
