Here's What Happens When Foods
Make a "Beeline" To A&P

A "beeline," as you know, is a fast, direct route. When foods
follow a "beeline" from producers .... from growers and pro-
cessors ... to retail stores, expense is saved. Many usual charges
for handling and part of the expense of transportation are cut
from the cost of bringing foods from their source to you. A&P ^Ar
is an old hand at finding "beeline" ways to bring you the best
of the Nation's good things to eat. That is why so many thou-
sands of American families depend upon A&P to bring them
the very utmost for their food dollars. And remember this,
please: A&P will continue to search for new and more efficient
methods ... to save you money.

WAR TIJND

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in December, 1941, there were approximately
J students on the Heights attending the College and Business School. In February, 1944,
; were a little over 300 plus about 300 soldiers. In April, there will be less than 300 stu-
. and no soldiers. The graduate schools are suffering in about the same proportion.
Since Boston College is not endowed, it unhappily faces a serious financial situation in a
gle to survive. Because Boston College must survive to serve the community now and after
>eace, Father Rector was obliged to seek the only solution possible, solicitation of enough
money to overcome the rising de-
ficit. He asked the Alumni to
share his burdens with him and
thus has started the War Fund.
Jeremiah W. Mahoney, '21, past
president of the Association, has
been appointed Chairman of the
campaign. Assisting him as Vice-
Chairmen are: Rev. Anthony P.
Laverty, '17, Henry A. Kievenaar,
'29, and John B. Atkinson, '16.
In addition to the Alumni Group,
the campaign will also receive the
support of the Alumnae Associa-
tion and the Philomatheia Club.

When the plight of the College
became known, His Eminence,
William Cardinal O'Connell, gen-
erously presented $5,000 to Father
JOHN A. CANAVAN, '18 Rector, and thus was the first con-

fident, Alumni Association tributor to the 1944 War Fund.

VERY REV. WILLIAM J. MURPHY, S.J.
President of Boston College

Shortly afterwards, the second contribution was
received from a member of the armed forces,
Private Hubert Cincotti, '41, U. S. A. Also
among the first to answer the call was the old-
est graduate, Rev. Daniel C. Riordan, of the
class of 1 879. Many others responded im-
mediately, but limitations of space prevent
mentioning them. However, at a later date,
a complete record will be published. As the
issue goes to press $25,000 have been re-
ceived.

At this time the following statements have
been issued: —

FATHER RECTOR

"By this time the letter on the War Fund
has been received by all of the Alumni. The
College needs your assistance. The tower and
spires are not about to tumble; the chapel is
not sinking; but there is a threatened cave-in
of the academic walls. Every possible new
plan of operation has been put into effect;
every consolidation and economy effected; but
the hard fact remains — the source of students
is running dry.

"The first scope of the WAR FUND was
based on the promise that an Army Student
Training Unit would be part of the College dur-
ing the War. Ws were aiming at a goal of
not less than $100,000 each year. While
the letters to you were in the mail, the War
Department announced that the imperative
needs of the armed forces could be met only

by the termination of the college program.
The needs of the Army come first; its duty
is to win the War with the smallest possible
loss of life, not to save higher education. Its
fold. It is our duty to save higher education
needs have increased our initial problem three-
at Boston College.

"In the years to come the vast plans for re-
habiliticn throughout the world must be put
into effect — many millions to be clothed and
fed, agriculture, industry and domestic life tc
be restored over great and populous areas.
When the nations finally lie exhausted physi-
cally and morally by the long violence of war,
the great spirtual combat must commence that
men may be made over to the ideals of justice
and charity and peace and faith in God. But it
is not sufficient for us to wait idly for the
future, envisioning our part in a cosmic sense.
We must begin with those things that are close
at hand and can now come under our control.
We must preserve those values, ideals, institu-
tions, which, once lost, will be regained, per-
hops not at all, or only in a feeble form, ot
after years of wasful effort.

"For many years our College has built strong-
ly, extending its influence in ever widening
circles from the central core of Faith. We
cannot permit this to be broken. In the ab-
normal violence of the moment the values thai
the College stands for may seem to be of lit-
tle immediacy, but tomorrow they will be need-
ed as never before.

"Three things are asked of each one.

"First, that you yourself make a contribution
to the War Fund.

"Second, that you interest others in doing
likewise. Send into the Rector's office the
names of people who in your opinion would be
willing to aid the College. It is not expected
that this list be made up only of people whc
can make a large contribution.

"Third, that you act now. Up to the present
the return envelopes have been coming ir
somewhat slowly.

"To the men who are wearing the uniform c
our country, I should like to address this par-
ticular message. Our first thought was tha'
your names should not be included in the lis',
of those to whom the appeal was to be made
since you are doing so much already. But or*
second thought it seemed that many of yoi
would not wish to be deprived of this oppor-
tunity of making your offering of devotion
Be assured that, if you cannot subscribe, you:
position is completely understood, and thaa
some other Alumnus will pledge his aid in youi.1
stead. '

"Lastly, I wish to make these grateful initia.j
acknowledgments:

"To His Eminence, whose swift approbatior
and most generous contribution was the sures'
augury for the success of this appeal.

"To the members of the Alumni Board anc

BOSTON COLLEGE

ie other representatives of the Alumni,
hose enthusiastic devotion has all but
aken this campaign out of my hands."

JOHN A. CANAVAN
ellow Alumni :

"It was with mixed emotions that I as-
jmed the presidency of your great organ-
ration. I deeply appreciated the high
onor but at the same time I was fully
onscious of my own limitations — and
ley are many. Especially was I greatly
npressed by the fact that a global war was
n in which Boston College must play its
able part and likewise experience the evil
ffects of such a gigantic upheaval.

"As we all know, my apprehensions have
ecome realities. Boston College has a
roud record on land, sea and in the air,
nmatched by any college in the nation of
Dmparable size. My very dear classmate,
ommander Jack Shea, has left us a glor-
>us heritage. Boston College has count-
;ss Jack Sheas.

"Our Very Reverend President, Father
Murphy, has clearly outlined to us the crit-
:al difficulties with which the college is
onfronted. The daily press informs us
nat perhaps all the military students will
ave been withdrawn from us by the first
f April and, as our President has pointed
ut, not more than 300 can be expected to
e in attendance during the remainder of
ie war.

"These then are times which demand
eep-seafed loyalty to our Alma Mater and
nflinching courage to carry out the plans
eing carefully laid to meet this distressing
eriod. We at home owe it to the college
nd to our legion of young men now in every
uarter of the globe to see to it that these
lans do not fail. We cannot fail. We can,
■e will, we must stand by our college in this,
er time of need."

JEREMIAH W. MAHONEY

"The Jesuit Fathers first opened the doors
f your College in the midst of the Civil War,
n James Street, Boston, and at its birth, the
ollege was in debt. Despite the heavy taxes,
nd the other economic handicaps of the times,
ne doors of your College were kept open, and
ie university on the hill was made possible
y the sacrifices of the Catholic immigrant
amilies of Metropolitan Boston.

"The second world war has precipitated a
econd crisis in the growth of the College and
nreatens its very existence. The Rector has
ippealed to you and to me, and the responsi-
tility is ours. The College needs $300,000
now — we alumni must respond, promptly and
lenerously.

"We urge action by personal contributions,
»nd by solicitation of your classmates, your

fellow alumni and the numerous friends of the
College, and when Father Rector reports to
you the details of a job well done, you and I
will take just pride in our sacrifices for God,
and for our College."

J? In another part of this magazine statistics
-e printed revealing the number of Boston
oMege men serving in this war and also the
jmber dead. Elsewhere is a list of chaplains
irving their country and their fellow Cath-
•ics. In the November News a list was printed
lowing 73 graduates to be in the F. B. I.
i'ery issue has also contained a summary of
ie deeds of our men who answered the call
• their country. From day to day reports
ach the Alumni office from all over the
:>rld. No area can be mentioned without
inging to mind some B. C. man who has
rved well.

Assimilating all the facts and figures after
'o years of war the general picture becomes
ear, Boston College has a record equalling
iiy college in the country. The feats of valor

1 the hearts of all who have gone to this
itholic institution with pride. In addition to
rving their country gloriously, our men have

idmirably exemplified the teachings of their
iligion. It cannot be repeated too often, Bos-
n College has reason to be proud.
'When the first clouds of war broke over
carl Harbor in December, 1941, two of our
en were present in Hawaii who were later
nmmended for their bravery there, Lieut. Jos-
nh A. Groden, '40, USNR, and Lieut-Colonel
imes J. Flood, '39, Army.

In the Philippines, Lieut. -Commander Law-
-ice J. McPeake, '23, USN, was present and

s been missing ever since. Then there was
sut. George T. Trudell, '36, USN, who won

2 Silver Star Medal. He is a Jap prisoner.

Lieut. Patrick H. Rafferty, '42, Army, was
also captured. Dr. Arnold J. O'Donnell, '39,
a dentist with the rank of lieutenant, was like-
wise captured, and died in a Jap camp on
June 11, 1943. One of the last men out of
the Philippines was Lieut. -Colonel Warren J
Clear, '18, who had gathered important infor-
mation about the Japanese, for which he re-
ceived the Distinguished Service Medal.

The scene shifted to Midway when the Navy
swung into action. Here Aviator Lieut. John
J. Lynch, '33, USN, won the Navy Cross for
securing two hits on a cruiser. (He later won
the Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying
Cross) .

Then came the Solomon Islands and the Ma-
rines. Buried there are Lieut. Charles F. Con-
Ian, '31, Captain Edward L. Foley, '39, and
Captain Richard A. Kelly, '39. Receiving hon-
ors were Lieut. -Colonel John F. Dobbin, '33,
Lieut. John B. Doyle, Jr., 40, Lieut. John J.
Gately, '41, Major Thomas J. Cross, '40, and
Captain Gerald F. Russell, '40.

About the same time the Aleutians were in
danger. Captain Walter J. Brickett, '40, Army
Air Corps, received the Air Medal for services
in this area. He was wounded. When the
Japs were driven out finally from Attu, Chief
Commissary Steward William A. Ward, '31,
was present.

In September, 1942, the famous battles in
the Pacific occurred, when the aircraft car-
rier the "Wasp" went down. Commander
John J. Shea, '18, lost his life and received the
Navy Cross posthumously. Two other men also

Juneau was sunk, Lieut. Thomas M. Roddy,
'39, lost his life. Rev Arthur F. McQuaid, '27,
a Navy Chaplain, was severely burned, later
receiving the Purple Heart.

The spotlight of war was focused on North
Africa the latter part of 1942. Ensign John
A. O'Toole, '39, lost his life almost immedi-
ately in the first stages of the attack. Ensign
William T. Donovan ,'41, and Sgt. John F.
Coughlin, '38, died in Africa, while Lieut.
George W. Maibach, '38, was taken prisoner.
Overhead, in Tunisia, Lieut. Edward J. Mc-

tinguished Flying Cross for bravery.

Attacking Sicily, Ensign Thomas J. Glen-
non, '40, USNR, received the Silver Star for
directing beach activities under hazardous
conditions. Ensign Eugene J. Canty, '40,
USNR, has been missing since his ship, the
U.S.S. Maddox, was sunk off Sicily, July 10,
1943.

On the way to Greenland to< report for duty,
Private George D. Cunning, '37, died when
the ship on which he was traveling was sunk
in February, 1943. Ensign Robert E. McGe-
hearty, '41, USCG, died when the cutter Es-
canaba was sunk in northern waters in June,

lantic.

Down in South America, Lt. Donald V. Mul-
cahy, '40, USNR, received the Navy and Ma-
rine Corps Medal for bravery during a fire in
the port where he is stationed.

As the United States played a more im-
portant part in air raids over Europe, so did
the names of Boston College men become more
prominent. Sgt. Paul M. Kelly, '41, received
the Air Medal posthumously. Lieut. William
H. Broley, '39, Army Air Corps, received the
Air Medal for his part in the raid over Bremen,
April 18, 1943. In a later raid he failed to
return. Captain Arthur V. Cullen, '40, re-
ceived the Air Medal, and is now a German
prisoner. Also decorated was Lieut. Norman
R. Pilote, '39. All of these men operated from
England.

Based in Africa Sgt. Arthur F. Sullivan, 'M
received the Air Medal for bravery as a radi
operator and gunner in a Flying Fortress ove
France, Sicily, Italy and Austria. Also based i
Africa was Captain Donald R. O'Sullivan, '41
who received the Distinguished Flying Cros
for participation in the raid on the Ploesti o
fields, Rumania. He has also received the Ai
Medal and Silver Star.

VARSITY CLUB DINNER

ig& The annual Varsity Club dinner at the
Statler on January 9 was anything but a con-
fession that the war had overwhelmed and de-
stroyed B. C. spirit. First of all there was a
fine attendance. There was a noticeable (and
not disregarded) absence of the younger grad-
uates, and a plethora of grave and reverend
seniors (remember your Merchant?) But the
pirit and enthusiasm were as real as ever, and
rven the number of paid admissions was no-
iceably high. Many of the active alumni of
hhe past were present, and many who had
quietly supported the College. All had gath-
ered to join in tribute to the "informal" foot-
■xi 1 1 team which carried the colors of the school
ast Fall on the gridiron. Even in these days
:>f military service and rationed travelling the
audience was large and worthy of record.

Secondly and chiefly, there was a display of
pride and joy in the fine record of the 1943
"ootball club. At the dinner (and of course in
his report) there was not the slightest invidious
:omparison with the big-time players and teams
Df the past. Our greats are as great as ever.
Witness the pride at having "Fitzy" back. But
'his year there was the special satisfaction of
lonoring a team composed of more average
ooys, boys more like the rank and file of the
blumni, boys not gifted with giant stature and
weight and speed and strength, boys that never
n the days of nationally known elevens would
aave merited time or consideration.

Lastly, the speaking was excellent. From
fie brief, beautifully phrased words of Father
.ow, through the always thoughtful and thought
irovoking remarks of Father Rector, through
ihe tributes of the Navy (Lieut. Commander
William M. Cashin, '18, and Lieut. Com-
nander Edmund H. Barry, '24) and the Army
"Major John R. Canavan), through the con-
iiise remarks of Dean Mulcahy, through the
.umorous speech of Arthur Siegel of the Bos-
on Traveler, through all of these speeches the
i ead table gave the listeners a varied and ever
interesting evening. It was a joy to have
Jimmy" Fitzpatrick" present to bestow a "B"
n Mayor Tobin, and to hear the lively intro-
uctions of "Gerry" Coughlin, '23, and two
nanly talks by quarterback "Eddie" Doherty
nd Coach "Moody" Sarno.

While in the mood for compliments, "Tom"
eanlan, '20, President of the Varsity Club,
md John S. Keohane, '14, chairman for the
wening, should not be forgotten.

Finis to an informal report .about informal
ootball.

INFORMALS

"Physical education for all," is the slogan
of John P. Curley these days. In addition to
the ASTP group, Mr. Curley has directed the
training of the civilian students to have them
in good physical condition when they enter the
service.

Competitive intercollegiate sports are re-
duced to a minimum. Jack Ryder's small track
team has entered several meets this winter with
fair success. There is an informal basketball
and hockey team. The informality of it all is
demonstrated by the type of opposition and the
scores. The basketball team has played B. C.
High and the Timothy Smith Club. The hockey
team has met Watertown High School (5-2),
Newton High School (6-8), and the "97" Club
(0-13). It has also played one college, Holy
Cross, losing 2-1 .

Followers of B. C. were saddened by the
death of Dr. Frank Merrick, '27, for several
years assistant physician for the Athletic Asso-
ciation. Despite the many blood transfusions
given by the students both in the civilian body
and Army group, Dr. Merrick died in January.

^V Once again we look forward to
Laetare Sunday, which, this year, oc-
curs on March 19. According to our
custom we shall assemble on the
Heights for Mass and Holy Commun-
ion, and afterward adjourn for break-
fast, election of officers, and a gab
session at a nearby hotel. Last year
this twenty-year-old tradition was al-
most broken, but the spirited action
of a few members of the class brought
together about a dozen members who
resolved that in the future there
would always be a Laetare Sunday.
You will hear more about this in
early March.

A letter from Johnny Keyes informs
us that he has been in the Navy since
November, 1942. First tried Radio
School and later changed to Mail
Specialist handling the mail of over
3700 men and 300 ships. Likes his
work very much and has been fortu-
nate with frequent leaves — in fact,
on one of his December leaves he went
and "did it" — became married. "In-
cidentally," he writes, "Lieut. John
Youchoes (old No. 10) is the Postal

Officer here and is a swell fellow."
Johnnie gets the "Alumni News" and
is very desirous of hearing from his

tended the conclave of this august
body.

JSrGot a letter from Lieut. Al Leonard,

who is Assistant Personnel Affairs Of-
ficer at Maxwell Field, Ala. Al claims
that he does everything but hear con-
fessions on his job. The Leonards
have a new son, John, born Septem-
ber 25.

Got a nice note from John Dorsey,
with the A.E.F. School of Applied Tac-
tics at Orlando, Fla. He followed up
the note with a 'phone call when
home on a short leave in January.
He ran into Jim Nagle — pardon me,
Lieut. Nagle, A.A.F. — down there
somewhere, and they are trying to
match leaves for a reunion in New
Orleans.

Jim brought up Southie and reminds
me of Joe Hughes, who is his usual
chipper self. That paunch the Army
took off is returning, to Joe's satis-
faction. He is to do some refereeing
in the newly-revived Boston High
Schools Basketball League. Yours
truly has been appointed coach of
basketball at Roslindale High, to
which I have been assigned after ten
years at Dorchester High School for
Boys. If any of you fellows remem-
ber me playing basketball at the

when the war broke out. His wife and
two children were also present. They
returned in 1942 to this country to

followed his career as a practising phy-
sician, and especially as assistant phy-
sician of the B. C. teams. Our pleas-
ant memories of him can never be ef-
faced.

of subscriptions were obtained.
President Buck, who had left the room
for a moment to confer with hotel
officials, was overwhelmed when he
returned to find that he had been re-
elected by acclamation. His fellow

also returned to their posts. Treasurer
Harry Kievenaar outlined plans for

and expressed ill-concealed envy at
the size and spirits of the gathering.
