THOMAS J. MYERS
To the late, beloved "Tommy” Myers, zealous and
respected Director of Athletics here at the Prep
for more than seventeen years, who ever looked
upon our interests as his own and who, in his daily
contacts with us, stood forth the true Catholic
gentleman, we dedicate this 1945 P e t r e a n .May he rest in eternal peace.
"M r. Myers was St. Veter's. In him were all the qualities St. Veter's wanted to inject into the students, and he gave them to us; that is, character, confidence in ourselves, sportsmanship, and, most im portant, religion. St. Veterfs had a great man in Mr. Myers and, Father, I feel that St. Veter's can never get another Tom m y Myers. He was the only one. . . . Yes, our coach is gone, but his way o f life, his ideals in sportsmanship and his fine example as a Catholic man live on in his boys. . . .”— From a le tter o f a Prep alum nus, now w ith the Armed Forces, on learning of the death o f M r. Myers.

The Student Council, with representatives from every class in the school, was a core of freshened Prep spirit during the year. Under the guidance of Fr. Shalloe, S.J., the Student Counsellor, The League of the Sacred Heart found itself more fully organized than formerly. The students of each class chose a
definite day during each month for receiving Holy Communion, thus keeping intact a chain of Communions in reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
The Senior Sodality, with Mr. LaCombe, S.J., as Moderator, sponsored a series of talks during the year with such well-known speakers as Fr. Delaney, S.J.,

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

weekly visits to hospitals, bringing magazines and Catholic literature. Fr. Gormley, S.J., with the assistance of Mr. Boyle, S.J., outlined for The Freshman Sodality members the scope and aims of the Sodality of Our Lady, preparing for their reception into the Sodality in May. Fr. Shalloe, S.J., organized
_a Sanctuary Society whose members served as altar boys at the Prep Functions in the Church during the year.
The Orchestra, with Mr. Barrows, S.J., as Moderator, and Mr. Krieg directing, played an important role at the Prep social gatherings during the year.

Providing background and intermission music during the annual play, present at Parents’ Night and at the Social in May, the musicians revealed talent that, with more experience, should make a widespread name for itself.
Mr. Boyle, S.J., gave new impetus to the Camera Club this year. Fundamentals of photography were
stressed, demonstrations in dark-room technique were arranged, and towards the close of the year a contest was held for the best picture snapped and developed by a Prepster. Thomas Ward, a Junior, won the prize. Mr. McNally and Fr. R. Lynch, S.J., helped, by their experience and suggestions, towards an interesting and educational year.

Beaudevin Debating SocietyThis year again, the Beaudevin Debating Society,
comprised of members of Junior and Senior years, revealed its forensic ability in a series of debates and displays of oratory at home and abroad.
Highlight of the year was the work of Robert Kelly, a Junior, who captured the national award in the American Legion Oratorical Contest, held dur
ing the spring. Successive victories in city, county district, state and sectional contests qualified Bob to compete against regional champions of the whole nation. It was the first time that a New Jersey representative won the contest, tribute alike to Hudson County, Jersey City, Mr. Norton, S.J., and Mr. Marr, the victor’s coaches, and to Bob Kelly himself.

Mr. Nenno, S.J., undertook again this year the task of guiding Freshman and Sophomore debaters in the Collins Debating Society. Besides weekly meetings whose purpose was to develop speaker technique, there were debates with representatives of Xavier, Regis, Loyola, and Fordham.
The Chemistry Club organized by Fr. Thiry, S.J., made preparations during its first year for micro
chemical work. Among its members', Raymond Wilhelm, a Senior, brought honor to himself, to the club and to the school, with his excellent standing in the annual talent search conducted by the West- inghouse Corporation. Fie was one of three hundred throughout the country who received honorable mention for their work in competition with a total of two thousand contestants.

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

Library Staff
This year saw the renovation of the Prep Library and an ever increasing number of new books on the shelves. The efforts of Fr. Murray, S.J., and Mr. Kruse, the Librarian, coupled with the work of the Library staff have produced an efficiently managed and up-to-the-minute library of whose benefits all Prepsters may avail themselves— and do.
Anyone who attended the football games during
the year could not but become aware of the waving arms and high jumps and ordered shouts coming from the base of the Prep stands. The cheerleaders were holding forth down there, calling on loyal Prepsters to back their efforts and the efforts of the team, whether in victory or defeat. Mr. Flynn, S.J., coached the group progressively, introducing new cheers and adding new zest to the older ones. Let’s give a "Locomotive” for the cheerleaders!

Fresh snap, im- least as good; with some of this year’s veterans reproved formation, and general interest on the part turning, it should be.

On October 1st a determined Prep eleven lifted the curtain on their 1944 football season, engaging a powerful Xavier team at High School Field. Coach Ed Sladowski’s Petreans jumped to a six-point lead early in the first quarter, but Xavier’s aerial attack was not to be denied; we met defeat 12-6. Bob Piatkowski set up the Prep’s lone tally by recovering a Xavier fumble on the opponents’ 26-yard line; after Joe Cooney and Paul Paytas battered their way
to the 2-yard marker, Joe crashed over on a fake reverse for the score. The Prep line won the admiration of everyone by their stubborn defensive play, with Joe Cummins, "Doc” Doherty and Ralph Diverio particularly impressive in performance.
For our first game at Roosevelt Stadium in two years we encountered a highly-touted Emerson squad riding on the crest of an opening-game victory. Despite the superb passing of Ed Roper, the clock

stopped us on Emerson’s 2-yard line with two downs remaining. Score: 6-0, with the Grand Streeters overcome.
The following week-end saw Memorial providing the opposition, and again Ed Roper sparked the Petrean attack. The first half was marked by a punting duel, interrupted only by a freak Memorial touchdown—the only score of the game. Roper dominated the second half with accurate pitching to his ace wing-men, Ed Bannon and Jim O’Brien. Twice the Prep attack drove into Memorial territory, but it was stalled by the smallest margins. More than once Vinnie Freda’s fine backing of the line
shone out and prevented Memorial’s further threats from materializing.
With hopes still high the Maroon-and-White entered the Snyder fray, determined to crack into the victory column and upset the six-point jinx hanging heavily over our heads. Neither side made any threatening gestures in the first half of the struggle because of the fine defensive work displayed by both lines. On a kick return, Snyder brought the ball down to our 2-yard line and on the third down managed to reach pay-dirt on a quarterback sneak. The Prep bounced right back with the ensuing kick- off which Joe Cooney ran from his own 24-yard line

Freda kicks off at Bayonne watching the Lincoln game
to the 40. Banging away at the middle of the line, the Grand Streeters moved to the Snyder 47. A pass from Roper to Ed Bannon netted 14 yards for a second straight first down. Paul Paytas and Joe Cooney hit the center for gains of six and seven yards. A1 Paccico bolted through the same spot for 11 yards, and the fourth successive first-down, placing the ball on the Snyder 10. But here the offensive bogged down and, though the Prep advanced into Snyder territory, opportunity faded and the Petreans left the field on the short end of a 6-0 score.
Fully aroused by our recent setbacks, the Prep team, now at the peak of strength, travelled to the Oil City Stadium to post its first victory of the
season. It was a field day for our three speedy backs, Cooney, Karolewski and Nesbitt, who romped over the Bayonne team to register eighteen points early in the contest. Bayonne fought back, passing to two successive touchdowns. But as they were battering at the goal for a third and tying score, the Prep line held fast and swarmed over the Bayonne back each time they attempted to move the ball. Cooney was the outstanding back in the game, while among the line-men, John Malley, Tony Conti, and Jay Sweeney did much to bring home the victory.
In a final bid for the City Championship, St. Peter’s toppled before mighty Lincoln, 7-0, in an extremely hard-fought night game. The Petreans

Memorial line-up
were unable to capitalize on a few opportunities and the Lions’ aggressiveness finally told the story. "J.P.” Sutton and Ed Bannon kept the team on its toes all night, and their fine play, with that of Joe Cummins, drew praise from those in attendance.
In the season’s most impressive show of offensive power, the Maroon-and-White outdid themselves by trouncing Demarest 21-0. Ralph Diverio, our first- string all-County tackle this year, did yeoman’s work through the fray, recovering a fumble for a touchdown and throwing the opposition for several losses. Fleet-footed Al Paccico further demoralized the Demarest colors by galloping 80 yards through the entire Demarest aggregation, returning the second-half kick-off for a touchdown. After Artie Heck had smashed through to upset the Hoboken- ites in the end zone, causing a safety, Joe Cooney
climaxed a last-period drive by driving from the 12-yard mark for a touchdown. Ed McGinnis neatly placed the ball between the uprights for the extra point.
Smarting over last year’s stunning defeat at Hilltop’s hands, the Prep squad entered this year’s contest determined to reverse the tables. But Dickinson again trounced us to the tune of 13-0. Both tallies came when deep in our own territory. Freda, McLaughlin and Diverio did much to stop a soaring score-board.
The team’s success ought not be reckoned by numbers alone, though even these show the closeness of the games. It was a hard-fought, hard-played season. We’re looking for next year’s games, sparked by many of this year’s seasoned veterans.

An unusually experienced array of material greeted Coach Tom O’Brien at the outset of the 1944-45 season, giving assurance that a highly successful campaign was in the offing.
Starting off in fine style, the team invaded Hoboken to topple the Stevens Jayvee 25-19. Tom O’Keefe led the attack with 13 points and "Jake” Mgr. Cullen
Spanarkel was runner-up with six points, giving evidence of the role he was to play during the season. Riding on the crest of this victory, we opened the City Championship race by trouncing St. Aloysius 55-34.
The Union Hill game brought defeat 32-18, but Tom O’Keefe exhibited one of the finest defensive performances the county saw during the season, holding Harry Donovan, the Hillers’ great scorer to two foul shots while tallying nine points himself. Bouncing back from this defeat, the Petreans racked up successive victories against Holy Family, Bayonne, 54-3 5, and against Don Bosco, 42-40.
Tom O’Keefe’s 17 points were not enough to stave off defeat before a determined Bayonne Tech quintet, 46-38. Following this, disaster again befell us on a foreign court at the hands of Bayonne High, 43-38. The Dickinson game, which came next, saw the Prep a 26-14 winner, with Tommy Smith taking scoring honors for his 12 points. In a return match with Stevens Jayvee, the Prepsters won out 36-22.
Paced by Smith and O’Keefe, the Maroon-and- Whites were on the winning side against Snyder, 51-49, in a very close contest. Sharing the limelight was "Jake” Spanarkel with a 9 tally. His late-in-the- game field goal clinched the victory.
The Prep dribblers opened the traditional Jesuit Tournament by trouncing a rather strong Loyola team, 48-30. Tom Smith, playing his best game of the season, scored 25 points, within one point of tying the high-scoring record for the tourney. At the half of the semi-finals against Brooklyn Prep we stood on the losing side of a 21-18 score. In the third period, however, Tom O’Keefe broke the ice by outmaneuvering three Brooklyn players and sinking a lay-up, to send us into the lead. At this point the team started a powerful drive and the game ended with the count 46-39 in our favor. Entering the final round, the Prep Cagers encountered a very talented Xavier combine which snatched an early lead, holding it for the remainder of the game. A sparkling third-period rally by St. Peters fell short and the game ended with the Prep on the short end of a 53-43 score.
Again the Prepmen tasted defeat in a very close contest with Demarest, 45-43. For the second time this year, Dickinson, our traditional rival on the gridiron, tumbled before the determined onslaught of our courtmen, 38-34. In a thrill-packed contest

Closing in Traffic jam
that followed, "Jake” Spanarkel, who totaled 11 points during the fray, sparked a last-period offensive which overcame a 7-point deficit and topped Brooklyn Prep 3 5-34.
On January 29 the Petreans won again against Snyder 40-28. Tom O’Keefe and Tommy Smith shone again with 15 and 12 points repectively, but even these accomplishments were eclipsed by Jack Geraghty’s masterful defensive play. After over
coming Newark Academy 39-29, we crossed the river and were once again subdued by the Xavier Cadets, 50-34. Not discouraged by this episode, and with Tom O’Keefe in a scoring position, we returned to our former stride, conquering Don Bosco 49-31, and Holy Family, Bayonne, for the second time with a score of 54-3 5. Jim Luther’s accurate eye accounted for nine points and preserved the Prep’s unblemished city record when the Grand Streeters overcame

Lincoln 40-36 on the opposition court. Ed Flannery’s aggressive floor game in large measure stemmed Lincoln’s late-in-the-game rally which threatened our lead. The City Championship title was secure with the conquest of St. Aloysius, 45-29.
With consistently fine playing by our courtmen, with all-county honors for Tom O’Keefe, and with Tommy Smith garnering the most-valuable-player laurels in the Hudson County Catholic High School Tournament, the 1944-45 season came to a memorable close.
Jayvee BasketballShowing fine promise for next year’s Varsity, the
Jayvees were victors in fifteen of their twenty-four contests during their season.

Under the aegis of Coach Patterson, St. Peter’s opened its season at Irvington on October 3rd. With Captain George Finn leading the way the hill-and- dale team won handily 22-33. George won the race
after a close duel with Norm Paetzold of the Essex county school. Tom Sollas, a promising Junior, was third, to be followed by the old reliables, Norman Hughes, Bill Funge and Bill Davis. St. Benedict’s
Sollas leads the field So does Funge and Hughes
Prep, state champions in 1943, subdued the Grand Streeters 24-31, although George Finn again won individual honors, with Sollas taking another third place.
On Columbus Day, a three-way meet was contested with the Prep’s old city rivals, St. Michael’s. The senior team bowed 26-29, the junior team also lowered its colors', but the freshmen rode to victory 24-31, to mark up the first success of an undefeated season. Tom Sollas "arrived” in the senior race when he took individual honors in the brilliant time of 13 minutes, 37 seconds. Among his victims was the
Freshm an stars - Funge again
great Ed Carney, county and state half-mile champion.
After these successive defeats, St. Peter’s embarked upon a winning streak which saw them defeat St. Aloysius, Lincoln and Xavier, in that order. Sollas was individual winner in the last two meets, but lost to Al Gunnell in the Aloysian triumph. The junior team had easy victories over Lincoln and St. Aloysius, while the freshman team rolled on over Lincoln’s frosh. Bill Wagner was coming to the fore in the junior races, while Dan Holleran and Frank Pisano were leading the freshmen to victory.
The dual meets ended with a record of four victories as against two defeats. One championship meet, the N.Y.U. invitational meet, was entered in
October and saw St. Peter’s place fourth among the New Jersey teams in the race. Tom Sollas led our contingent, placing fifty-first in a field of five hundred. With the three big meets of the season now closing in on him, Mr. Patterson lost Norman Hughes, a dependable Senior, because of illness. The city meet was held on Election Day. The Prep finished in a second-place tie with St. Aloysius, with St. Michael’s the victors. The first Metropolitan Jesuit Cross-Country Championships were next on the bill. The senior and freshman teams won, and Pisano and Holleran again finished on top in the
- - Speedsters W erner and Sollas
individual competition. Sollas was third in the senior race, while Wagner ran his best race of the season, helping the Prep to a wide margin of victory.
The county title meet on November 19th closed the season in triumph for the frosh, who overcame St. Michael’s with Pisano a "triple-champion” by reason of his first-place finish. This freshman came within one second of tying the course record in this race. The senior team enlisted the aid of their old team-mate, Paul Paytas, for this race, but the genial redhead was not in his best track condition, and the team had to be satisfied with a fourth-place finish. The junior team, led by Wagner, was third in their race.
And so the season ended. Two trophies now rest

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

BaseballA 15 -game schedule was arranged by Coach Phil
Cummings for the 1945 baseball season. The Maroon- and-Whites were to have home-and-home games with Dickinson, Snyder and Lincoln, and with St. Michael’s of Union City, Bayonne, and Bayonne Tech. Memorial, Xavier and Regis were also on the schedule. Four veterans returned to the team this year. Charlie Doerrler, holding down second base, Ray O’Brien at third, Joe Cooney in center field,
and Marty Nesbitt at right field, were on hand last year, too. Other Prepsters with last-year experience were Joe Fahy, pitcher, Gabe Corbo, catcher, Joe Gattuso and Bill McDonald, first base, Jack Flanagan, shortstop, and Flarry Fox and Al Paccico in the outfield.
The Grand Streeters looked forward to their opener against Regis of Manhattan, determined to equal and better last year’s six-nine record.

TennisOff to an early start this year, the tennis team
gave promise of being a stiff competitor in the County Championship matches. With most of last year’s veterans reporting for practice, the future looked doubly reassuring. Mr. Egan found Joe Safa
ryn, Frank Connelly, and Tim Gerne on hand, and along with them, two other seniors, Bob Burke and Ed Fischer, showed form. The Juniors were represented by John Aumente and Stephen Piga, and the sophomore and freshman tryouts were encouraging.
