ALBERT CARL ABRACZINSKY
^:
f-nr^ HE first morning of every term, with that new-books-
A. today-gentlemen-better-grades-this-term look in his
eye, the reverend professor doffed his biretta, looked over the
section lists and, finding Abraczinsky's name leading all the
rest, conferred the stole of beadle upon him. This quiet,
idealistic fellow for four years read more notices and recorded
more absentees than anyone else in the class.
A fellow of shining industry, he attained honor grades,
and we remember him gratefully for replies that soothed
anxious hearts and empty heads when profs became too
inquiring.
EDWARD EVERETT ADAMS
DIGNITY with a smile — that was Ed Adams, or rather
one aspect of him. Not stiffness, of course, but a cer-
tain inherent quaUty which resulted from mixing together
wisdom about the fitness of things and a fine but lively sense
of humor.
However there was much more to him. His apparent
ease in getting good marks, for example. He represented the
well-known golden mean in scholastic activities, for, while
he studied conscientiously, he could never be called a grind.
For one as alert, genial, companionable, there was a better
name. Ed was a Great Guy.

POETS, perhaps, are born, not made; but doctors are born
and made. Andy, whose birth was all a physician's should
be, worked as a pre-med student with the ineradicable am-
bition and enthusiasm so characteristic of him. He was gen-
erous, sympathetic, sincere, amicis amicissimus, courteous
to those who merited his friendship and deeply sensitive to
rebuff, yet he possessed amazing optimism and pertinacity
to overcome this sensitiveness. In study, as in baseball, his
was a good fight, well fought.

AVE will make the perfect doctor. He has everything
a genuine medico is pictured as having. Love of the
profession, a shrewd kindly glint over his spectacles, and a
dignified addiction to his pipe, — all go to associate Dave's
personality with the vocation of physician.
It is easy to remember him, for he was a familiar sight
in the Waldorf every day at the pre-med free period, lean-
ing on one of the tables, pipe in hand, listening to or deliver-
ing words of wisdom, medical or philosophical. If medicine
ever disappoints him, philosophy awaits.

"Hi, Frank!"
And that's just how it was, ladies and gentlemen. It was
"Hi, Bill," and then "Hi, Frank." For where you saw Bill
Baker you could be pretty sure that lurking behind a spec-
troscope or somewhere was Frank Walsh. Together they
made up the funniest, brightest pair in the class. Watch for
an intelligent, really serious chap with a keen eye, and a

an amazing memory in regard to averages . . . On top of all
that an excellent student.

NEVER, gentle r2ader, argue with anyone concerning the
definition of a gentleman. Just grab your opponent
and rush him into an introduction with Bill Ballou. For Bill
was attractive and good, and one who never knowingly of-
fended another, — and everything else that definition-makers
could desire. A sense of dignity clung to him as closely as
his quiet sense of humor. He was superlatively intelligent.
And his actions possessed accuracy — gained partly, perhaps,
through his work in the Rifle Club. Anyway — Question:
What is a gentleman? Answer: A gentleman is — one who is
like Bill Ballou.

MiRABiLE DicTu! A coUege man who thought and did it
interestingly! We are forever grateful that Henry
never allowed his so-called radicalism to become dulled, and
yet he was less a radical than an asker, — you know, one of
those men who ask intelligent, pointed, perhaps challenging
questions, and then are apt to hear them called foolish or
radical by the indiscriminate. He had more unsuspected ac-
complishments than one man could bring to light, — as radio
critic, music connoisseur, baritone, baseball player, writer,
— and he possessed a culture that manifested itself by its
unobtrusive modesty.

GARRETT THOMAS BARRY
,oc was another Falstaff — at least in temperament — un-
til you knew him. He kidded many an unsuspecting
soul into thinking him an old roue — when in reality he was
almost an ascetic. Owner of an enviable intellect, he worked
well, courageously, without becoming estranged from the
broader human sympathies. Doc was a wit and we don't
mean half or nit, and his wit was much enhanced by his
talent as a raconteur. The brightness and speed of his mind
we always valued, but when we knew him intimately we
appreciated its depth as well.

WHEN we tell you that philosophy and bridge, chemis-

A most earnest defender of Scholasticism, any philosophical
difficulties presented him were solved for us on the spot.
Moreover he attained a high standing in Chemistry, but,
because he was sincere, cheerful, friendly, we liked him just
the same.
Going into a bookstore before very long we shall expect
to find Barton's Neiu Scholasticism, or Barton's Theory of

HINDUSTAN and hullabaloo are probably the two things
on earth from which John was farthest removed. He
was quiet, yet, if he was quiet, he was mentally active, be-
coming not only an excellent student but an interesting,
pleasantly humorous conversationalist as well. He was sin-
cere, genial, kind, and his virtues were not unappreciated.
A member of the class was talking to a new acquaintance,
a young lady from Lawrence. Did he know, she asked, John
Bateman. Yes, certainly he did. Then —
"John," she said, "is my idea of a gentleman."

LARRY was bright and sturdy and smiling. He thought
Topsfield was more than a Fair place, and, knowing
him and hearing that he had brothers as attractive and lika-
ble as himself, we agreed. He played tennis and ate spinach
(at different times, of course). Won two of the three Sub
Turri photo contest prizes, and the glory was large if the
prizes were small. Would listen attentively and then walk
away, chuckling over something. You felt that he would
die for a friend, or even loan him five dollars. Health, hap-
piness and many fives, Larry.

WE thought of Fred as one of those Chemistry students
who did nothing but spend long hours in the labora-
tory. That is, we did until he put away his test tubes one
day, dried his hands, appeared on the tennis courts with his
racket under his arm, and played a game which sorrowful
opponents discovered to be slashing. And that social activity
had a part in his life we discovered also, when we saw him
at the dances, often, seemingly, the recipient of his class-
mates' envious glances. Fred's was a life well-balanced, well-
directed.

Iron, and on many a rainy day afterwards we would find
him acting out another, — "Here's mud in your eye." ("Oh,"
his opponents would ask, "you're not mud at me!") He
worked quietly, loyally, sturdily, well. Would talk about
anything you desired, but as long as it was football he'd
never kick. Liked fish. Nor did he spurn the dance. In all

IT is the peculiar and high distinction of Art that, while
he was a sincere and excellent student, he never allowed
his quest for the intellectual to overshadow his vigorous
loyalty to his class' functions. Of every enterprise run by
the class. Art was in the middle, acting as Chairman, as at
the Fordham Dance, or perhaps assisting with his wise ad-
vice and unstinted energy. Such spirit and loyalty cannot
but continue to bring him success.
The memory of his quiet, congenial fellowship glows for
those who had the good fortune of being his friends.

IT is a great claim, but when we are speaking about chuck-
ling John Brougham it is no extravagance to say that he
was one of the finest and cleverest we have ever known. As
for sheer intellectual brilliance, how many could win Summa
cum Laude in Junior, as he did, after losing six weeks in the
middle of the year? It was a feat which required courage
and perseverance few could claim.
But that is only one reason why we say that John Broug-
was as great a fellow as he was a student.
PAUL JOSEPH BROWN
IF you are one of those who divide mankind into two
classes, the sincere and the affected, you will be pleased to
note that Paul Brown was the epitome of all that was sincere.
His complete naturalness, of course, precluded his playing
other parts as well as he did his own, but Paul was proof
that a good actor on this life-stage is one who plays his own
part perfectly.
About his activities there was a steadiness, a strength, a
conviction. They indicated, we know, a mind capable of
keeping its equilibrium in any situation.

.EAR Sirs: The subject of your inquiry, Mr. V. J. Burke,
'was cur classmate at college. A strong individualist,
quick on the draw, he was a good scout even as a boy.
Though a prize essayist, fluent speaker and pronounced anti-
handshaker, he was completely sincere and unaffected,
quietly dynamic and versatile.
Our weekly Heights carried his "Whatcha Column,"
highly original and as subtly satiric as the Neiv Yorker; his
masterful editorials maintained a standard unsurpassed in
collegiate journalism. As your correspondent in the Fiji
Islands he ought to interpret affairs with a keen, well-bal-
anced mind.

IF an earthquake occurs one of these days, and you see a
young man sitting on an overturned telegraph-pole,
quietly flicking some dust ofF his suit, you can be pretty
sure that it is Ed Burns. For we dare say that nothing — not
even a late Sub Turri — has ever disturbed the equilibrium
of Ed's well-balanced mind.
When we first met him, we perceived that he was a quiet,
thoughtful young man. With close acquaintance we dis-
covered his genuine friendliness. But it was another quality
which especially drew us to Ed. — It was his complete sin-
cerity.

PURSUING pucks and golf balls, looking through the old
Eagle Eye of the Heights and pounding out Sub Turri
sports write-ups (forging, perhaps, a message from the golf
coach), Larry's career at the College was anything but list-
(r\\/^ less and unexciting. He was active, dependable, versatile, and
yet he was fairly quiet, for if his energy was vigorous, it was
also controlled. Lean, keen and golden, he was a welcome
figure anywhere.
It is not difficult to see a smiling Larry treading a
straight, narrow path to its end, surrounded by countless
well-wishing friends, lacking nothing but enemies.

We heard his probing questions, and knew. Then rumors
began trickUng down from the lab about his biology experi-
ments. So he was also, we said, a biologist. Then he was
heard playing Rhapsody in Blue. A pianist! And finally,
some of us found out, he was a brilliant designer of auto-
mobile parts. Yet, idealist, he prepared himself for a medical
career. It meant great sacrifice, the giving-up of his other
interests, but he made it.
Is there any wonder we thought so much of him?
JOHN RAYMOND CALLEN
MOST of US will remember Ray as the good-looking dele-
gate to the class. His smile was accorded to us all, and
his cheery words were a source of welcome to everyone.
Recall any scene where Ray was present and in the scene a
feeling of merriment, humor and good fellowship prevailed.
Ray possessed a keen sense of humor and along with this the
art of gentlemanliness. His ability as both a scholar and
athlete was demonstrated in the classroom or on the gridiron,
where he triumphed notably in his endeavours. Ray will al-
ways be with us in the memories we carry away from B. C.
EDWARD GERALD CAREY
IN Big Ed the class has one of its stauncher members, un-
obtrusive yet steadfast. CaUfornia-born, haiHng from
Meriden, Conn., and a graduate of Jamaica Plain schools,
Ed at once became a utility man on the Freshman track team
and, as a three year member of the varsity, ran true to his
yearling promise. Low hurdling was his forte and he boasts
the track record for the 220-yard flight. Indoors he held
forth as a dependable relayist.
Headed for a medical career, Ed undoubtedly will find
to his professional advantage his inherent oneness of purpose
coupled with an embracing sense of humor.

WHENEVER we Wanted advice, — that is, whenever we
ivanted advice — which we knew would be salted with
wisdom and peppered with humor, we sought out John
Carr. No glib giver of gratuitous counsel, he had to be asked
for his opinions. But once sought, they were quietly, sen-
sibly, given.
With his sincerity, brilliance, industry, it was only right
that John should head the Ethics Academy. And with his
honor, his kindness, his generosity, it was inevitable that we
should now consider his friendship as one of our fondest, our
most respectable, memories.

FRED was a scholar, gentle reader. And don't you forget
it. Some day, when we're trying to scold our grand-
children into studying, we'll mention the famous Fred Cas-
sidy and say "Do you think he'd be what he is if he hadn't
studied?" Fred was a great chemist, and the authority on
micro-analysis. Yet he was friendly, natural, popular with
all. In fact the College herself grew so fond of him that
when he graduated she still couldn't permit him to leave her.
So, to ensure his staying, she wisely handed him a Chemistry
fellowship.

JOHN PHILLIPS CAVANAGH, JR.
ONETIME proprietor of the most ancient and awesomely
elaborate motor-driven chariot at the College, John
Cavanagh was always deep in science. An apocryphal story
had it that the real reason Cav drove the chariot was be-
cause an unscientific friend once contended that "the thing
wouldn't run."
More than holding his own in the classics and philosophy,
Cav was particularly at home in the laboratories, buried be-
neath a twisting mass of glass tubes, whirring machines and
belching, bubbling chemicals.
Finally, a most agreeable companion, he definitely routed
the theory that the scientist is not a human being.

story is written across the headlines of all the newspapers in
New England; his manners, his gains, his touchdowns are
fresh in the memories of all sports-followers hereabouts.
And besides this, he accomplished a good deal as second base-
man of the ball team.
A loyal student, an unassuming gentleman, a legendary
athlete, Pete was our boast, our own hero.

WE all knew that Lester was a fine student and a genial,

Turnpike. One day two of the boys visiting him after a very
heavy rain found stretched on the ground two handsome
minks, victims of the storm. Asked what was his loss, Lester
replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Oh, about sixty dollars."
Some day he may juggle millions, but nothing will startle
us after his philosophic calm at the loss of the minks.

IT is commonly accepted that this is the age of precision.
Most men link this precision with the development of
machinery, but not so those who are fortunate enough to
be well acquainted with John Clancy. For John and pre-
cision went hand in glove, and mention of the one suggests
the other. After having associated with him in class, hearing
him meticulously expound some abstruse thesis or other, this
linking is inevitable. But the happiest feature of all is this, —
that he was no more precise than he was interesting, friendly
and sincere.

And he never used to elbow his way forward into the spot-

judge him thus, since he possessed a firmness of purpose, a
fine strength, which, though all but concealed by his
modesty, nevertheless shone through.

HAVE you ever heard of a golfer who played against two
men at the same time? Perhaps you have, but you will
admit that such cases are few and far between. At any rate
that is what Chuck Conaty did at Dartmouth one spring,
covering himself, if perhaps not with victory, certainly with
glory.
Ed was a fine golfer and an even better metaphysician.
But more. His intimates knew that there was no superior

You've asked me to write you about Ed Connolly.
Well, if you're interested in the scholastic side of things, Ed
was right there, for he was an honors man all year with a
special forte for Philosophy and History. Then as Vice-
President of the Musical Clubs he did much for the admin-
istration of that group — and I'm told that he supplied
smooth music for many a smart soiree.
Boston, he decided, might some day have need of a good
District Attorney, so he enrolled at the Harvard Law School.

A powerful, dignified, well-reasoning speaker, his activities

Urbane chairman at several gatherings. Active in all publi-
cations. Impartial observers rated him thus: possessor of one
of the finest intellects, loftiest aims, firmest wills.

his athletic ambitions for other pursuits. And his good judg-

golden "wise", for John's prime possession was his wisdom.
He was bright, laughing, but it required little sleuthing for
us to find out that if his ruddy smile was that of a health-

And whether presiding at the Spanish Academy or at-

FROM Freshman Latin to Senior Ethics, whenever a har-

FRANK JAMES DeFREITAS
?>i^
AT the risk of seeming sentimental and extravagant and
all that, we say that one word seems especially apt for
Frank, — golden. And we're not thinking only about his hair.
His nature was golden. His smile was golden. (No, Junior,
that does not mean that he had any gold teeth.) His friend-
ship was golden.
From Freshman through Senior he worked industriously
and intelligently. But happily. Each time you met him you
felt that he was actively, wisely, enjoying himself, and that
his pleasure was contagious. And you found him unselfish,
frank and — yes — golden.

Woah! — He'd float through the air with the greatest
of ease, the daring young man on his — pole vault.
And compared to Mike any trapeze-artist would look like
three tons of very heavy lead. But it wasn't all ease, and it
often happens that trackmen alone know of the patience
and practice put into their work.
His agility, moreover, was by no means merely physical,
and all of us admired his mental skill. He was a persevering
student, a wise man and also a constant gentleman. Hence —
our love he has stolen away.
FRANCIS JAMES DESMOND
You saw an interesting-looking young man with an
alert, absorbed air. Then you suddenly saw a swift
smile, bright, white, revealing. And you knew right away
that Frank Desmond was a thinker whose opinions would
cT^Jl/^ be clear and interesting, and a human whose friendship
' would be firm and sincere.
Experience proved you were right. Moreover you discov-
ered he was as quiet as he was firm and as progressive as he
was sincere. Typical of a true civilization-builder, Frank
was the sort of man who would do great things with high
perseverance, without noise.

JOHN FRANCIS DESMOND
WE found in John a convincing argument that there is
no more valuable asset than tactfulness. Innate good
judgment with a keen, warm sympathy for other minds and
other hearts reflected the many-sided strength of his char-
acter.
His was a scholarship that was precise and extensive, a
friendship that must be enduring as it was deep and noble.
John always represented the finer human qualities that we'd
like to possess ourselves. He was a model by whom we could
pattern our actions. We grew rich with his splendid ex-
ample.

DANIEL ALOYSIUS DIMOND, JR.
DAN never had to look far for friends. And why? Be-
cause he was a true friend himself. Dividing his time
between studies, social activities and his duties at the College
Library, Dan, apparently without effort, handled them all
with remarkable success. But interwoven with all his activi-
ties was the thread of his bright companionship.
A fine student, whose favorite study was history, he un-
expectedly became an actor, and we dare say his favorite
spectacle was Dick Whittiugtou. Firm and bright, he was
certainly a gem among men. But no diamond in the rough,
Dan's facets were all well polished.

OHN was a connoisseur, and one of many tastes. He was
an infallibly good judge of humor, for one thing. He was
"^ amazingly well-informed on everything remotely con-
nected with dance music, for another. And he showed ex-
cellent taste in the friends he made, for a third. Besides, he
always knew just how far a good thing might be carried. For
example, his friends have seen him in burning indignation be-
cause a pointless disturbance in the class hindered a profes-
sor in his work. All of which proves that John had a rare
and excellent sense of values.

SOME of US knew Joe, or "Ginsberg," as a slashing full-
back in pre-B.C. days. But at the Heights he became a
wit of almost legendary proportions, a brilliant, vivacious
humorist, and something of an actor as well. His interpreta-
tion of a well known society person hiking from Boston to
Providence was nothing short of uproarious. And it isn't so
hard to recall a certain Junior philosophy class in which the
point at issue was whether Joe's new whiffle was something
positive or merely the lack of a due perfection and hence
an evil.

WALTER JOSEPH DOLAN
RESPECTABLE if Strange was the beginning of Walter's
college career, since he had a prominent role in the
Freshman Greek play. One of the finest actors in the spec-
tacle, and certainly the most amazing in the photograph of
the cast (cf. first snapshot page), he was blessed with the
ability to unite dissimiliar virtues. Secretly wedded to his
smiling, somewhat debonair, manner was a serious, wise de-
termination. He worked hard. He chose and conquered diffi-
cult courses. He possessed both the tang of youth and the
richness of maturity. And may this union ever produce joy,
wisdom, abundance.
JOHN MICHAEL DONELIN
IT is difficult to say just how much of the luster of John's
personality was natural and how much was acquired by
polishing the diamond. But it is easy to say without exag-
geration that all of his personality was summed up in his
general agreeableness.
Having a level head and a freedom from unwarranted
enthusiasm, he naturally appeared at times to be pessimistic.
But gazing into the old Sub Tnrri crystal, we see nothing
but a fair, glowing future shaping itself for him. For you,
may only optimistic visions materialize, John.

GEORGE was a member of the famous Sophomore H, and
to those who were members of that class with him, this
reminder alone conveys the idea that he was a fine fellow.
Although he attained a fine scholastic standing, George was
of the type to whom learning comes easily, and so he had
time to partake of the fine spirit of fellowship existing be-
neath the towers.
In his quiet way George, the pride of Somerville, reached
every goal that he sought. And this, we feel sure, is merely
a foretaste of the outcome of his future undertakings. Good

than when at the College, slightly like O. O. Mclntyre's lost
youth. In discourse he is, methinks, one of the most rational
men that ever I heard speak, and a person of generosity and
excellent nature withal. Realized again he is a mature, de-

Perhaps it was this spirit of unselfishness which prompt-

his other activities. As a Freshman and Sophomore, he had
belonged to the Latin and Greek Academies, and afterwards
he was as willing to discuss an ode of Horace as the anatomy

a wise gentleman — and all this time we were aware of his

he once confided.
But Greek was only one of his interests and in his other

to neglect responsibilities. Of Bert it may always be said that
"he seen his duty and he done it."

M
CLIFFORD Good was a student, an analyst and a gentle-
man. He was blessed with a fine mind and must ever be
remembered for his scholastic success, since his was the
power to abstract the essential and retain it. He was a keen
analyst of our human natures. But more — he was a pleasant
acquaintance, a loyal supporter of extra-curricular activi-
ties, a constant friend. We recall him as a student with re-
spect, and with admiration as a judge of character. But with
most warmth we remember him as a gentleman, — first, last
and always.

It's like this. — I've become a grade teacher and the other
day while reading in Little Tots' Third Reader the class
came across two new words, vi-va-cious and en-thu-si-as-tic.
I tried to explain their meaning, and failed. Then I thought,
"Vin Gori!" I showed them your picture and it helped a bit.
But could you possibly visit the class yourself? You may
talk about an3'thing, — from the class outing where you con-
tinually pitched for both teams with incredible impartiality
(remember?), to your serious study, your friendliness, loy-
alty at the College. Anyway, come!

CHARLES FRANCIS GORMAN
|FTEN we have been told that the common consent of
mankind is a convincing argument. The unanimous
opinion of the class concerning Charlie argued convincingly,
and very rightly, that he deserved our highest esteem. Quiet,
studious, reserved, he was one of the most likable fellows
with whom we could meet and chat.
Very good-looking, — he was voted the best-looking man
in the class — his main interests were intellectual, not social.
If we wanted a Physics formula or an Ethics thesis explained,
we thought of him. For he was as helpful as he was gifted.

JOHN had many claims to fame, not the least of which
was his participation in the annual Spring descent (no
double-meaning intended) of our famous golf team. He
cajoled, bullied, pleaded, but even a mechanic of his skill
couldn't persuade the venerable Chevrolet to go farther than
Westboro on the return trip. Well, — it was fate!
John was an intelligent, quiet, courteous young man who
in his easy-going manner made innumerable friends. His life
is governable — if the Chevrolet was not — and we know that
with horns tooting he will ride it to his goal.

upon his chosen profession of Pedagogy.
Rarely indeed was there as prolific a mind as his of affairs
National, Diplomatic, State and Municipal. To know him
was like reading Washington Merry-Go-Konnd. He was a
profound reader and critic superb, a scholar, gentleman,
good-fellow and athlete. So long Bob, we shall always miss

TERRY was that tall, breezy, apple-cheeked young man
who was graduated with honors. To see him striding
through the lunch room with his firm smile and laughing
eyes you would have sworn that he hadn't the slightest idea
what the word "serious" meant, but observing him in class,
you would have known better. For Terry realized the value
of scholastic standing and sought it — and obtained it.
He made, of course, numerous friends. And if what
we've been told about birds of a feather is true, those flock-
ing around Terry must have been pretty fine ones.

ROBERT Hanlon Came to us already well known in the

distinguished himself in the Marquette for a year or more
and was the Freshman Representative on the team to debate
against Fordham.
From the press of other circumstances he was forced to
forego participation in forensic activities in later years. Yet,
although engaged in activity outside college, he maintained
an especially high scholastic rank. He was a shining example
of those sincere, industrious students who, though perhaps
unknown to some, are a lasting support to the College.

A MAN with convictions, with properly controlled en-
thusiasms and general sociability must offer the elements
of trustworthy leadership. With such qualities it was quite
understandable that Jack Hayes should become an acknowl-
edged success in planning and conducting many of our col-
legiate social and academic activities.
The peak of his executive career at the college certainly
occurred when he was appointed Chairman of Commence-
ment Week. And no one was surprised, when it was all over,
to realize that it had all been conducted capably, smoothly,
without turmoil, without a hitch.

Duty in the face for a minute just to make sure that she can
be trusted, then quietly setting out to climb the Matterhorn
or swim to Boston Light or do anything else the insistent
lady demanded. Whatever was asked of Joe, he did, and
without excitement. Quiet, thoughtful, he looked at the
world from under somewhat smiling brows, and performed
his work — excellently.

THE ballots were counted. Silence for the announcement.
And then the declaration that Walter was elected Presi-

even if Walter was a modest young man who ever belittled
his own abilities, his townsmen knew better than to take
him at his word when speaking of himself. They knew him
as a man of judgment, activity, and wisdom. Hence the elec-
tion.
In teaching, Walter, modesty, if not excessive, will be
quickly admired. And when the world knows you as we
know you, your success is at hand.

class. He was a fine athlete, starring in baseball and hockey,
a unanimous choice as Captain of the latter sport, which,
through his efforts was returned to the college for the first
time in five years.

know, carry you far in your chosen profession of Law.

always the beginning of one of the sanest, deepest, and often
funniest, talks of the day.
Fortified by his intelligence stood his strong, high will.

Tom was one of us, and an outstanding and singularly dis-

He was intelligent, active, warm-hearted, but he cannot
be catalogued because his interests were so many and color-
ful. If you saw Tom and Sully towering over the rest of us
while striding up from Lake Street, you won't easily forget
them. A bright future is M'sieur Horan's, who possessed
what it takes to make success.

OB was an outstanding member of our class in many
'ways. Not only did he captain the fastest track team in
years, which he aided by his brilliant performances, but he
was also among the first in scholastic pursuits. And he was
class treasurer and an expert on the rifle team.
Considering that he majored in chemistry, winning a
fellowship, and spent much of his time in the laboratories,
his success was all the more noteworthy. His high qualities,
together with a very genial nature, towered Bob to the pin-
nacle of popularity.

John Kaveny possessed prestige.

the Heights (a challenging job alone), resourceful Manager
of Fencing, and finally brilliant President of the Business
Club — to say nothing about his incidental excursions into
dramatics, track, socials, debating, everything — Ken was
keen, genial, gay and popular.
The famous Ken Kelley drawl alone was a thing of de-

EDWARD WILLIAM KENNEDY
QUIETLY, wisely, pleasantly, Ed Kennedy pursued his way
through the four years of college on the way to a prom-
ising business career. Known intimately by some, he
was an infallible social barometer for all.
Whether you looked in at the swanky afifairs of the
famous Chelseans, or were merely trying to crash the Louis
Quatorze, if you saw Ed inside, it was de rigeur that those
in the know were there also.
A good student, a fair golfer, a bit of a lion — what more
can you ask of a business-man?
BERNARD JOHN KIERNAN
THROUGH Bernard Kiernan there noiselessly flowed a
steady stream of energy which found its outlet in a de-

consulted before an examination for last-minute bits of in-
formation, and the one we tracked down afterwards to see
if our answers were right. But he was more than a student.
He was President of the Boston College Club of Lawrence,
and if such an office didn't test his good nature and all-
round ability, nothing will.
He was courageous and wise. Consequently the success
he attains will, we know, be genuine.

WALTER ELCOCK KILEY
SOMEHOW or other Walter always looked as if he had
just stepped out of a shower-bath. And this we think is
significant, for if he seemed physically bright and crisp,
mentally he was the same. A fine player, he was one of the
men who made unsung sacrifices to reinstate hockey as a
minor sport, yet he was equally alert at the Business and
Ethics Academies. Tall, laughing, possessing the poise of
simplicity, from dark head (we won't embarrass him by
calling it handsome) to flashing feet he seemed completely
fit. Quietly, genuinely, — he sparkled.
ERNEST GEORGE KIMBALL
k:^.
THAT being Ernest is pretty important anyone can tes-
tify, but in Woburn, it seems, it is no less important to
be Kimball, for there you can read a street-sign which says,
plain as day, "Kimball Road." Now when you get someone
whose name is both Ernest and Kimball, well, his impor-
tance must be prodigious.
It is. Robust, keen, humorous, Ernie was one of our
cleverest diflficulty-finders in class; and if, perhaps, his eyes
twinkled, this did not make his questioning any less sincere.
Friendly, earnest Ernest Kimball has left us only the warm-
est of memories.

JOHN JOSEPH KING
ZESTFUL. Everywhere we used to see Joe we admired
the keen enjoyment with which he did things. His zest
on the cinder path he carried into the classroom, and it
probably accounted for his success in both places.
In his Senior year a genuine tragedy occurred when a
serious injury to his leg made track competition that season
impossible. He had done so well other years it was impossible
to tell what heights he might have reached. But he never
grumbled. Instead, he acted as he had before, — with cour-
age, with wisdom, with zest.

A SLIGHT disturbance at the rear of the class. Then quiet.
Finally a muffled baritone: "Kivlan did it . . . Kivlan

How often did we realize the tribute implicit in this
phrase? — for after all it was the very fact that John was
such a fine, sincere student that made it seem amusing. More-
over, it implied that blessed ability to "take it." And now,
whenever we learn that some member of the class has at-
tained great honor, we shall expect to hear someone pro-
claiming, this time truthfully, "Kivlan did it . . . Kivlan did
it!"

AL Landrigan worked and worked hard, — at the Library,

general recognition. And we believe that if he had it to do
over again, he wouldn't change his course in the least. For,
if his work was done outside the cheering glow of the spot-
light, he had the grateful admiration of those behind the
scenes. Besides, he had the satisfaction of work well done.
So hats off to Al Landrigan. Truly Boston College has
never turned forth a more worthy product, nor a more
loyal and staunch supporter.

To the rule that nothing but the best can be expected
from the University City John was no exception. He
was a fine student, yet in spite of this the professors always
had their eyes on him for, as a member of the rear guard in
the Psych class, he was a source of some hidden concern to all.
John was Campus Chairman of a fine Commencement
Week and in this capacity he was a fine aide and assistant to
the Prexy. Shy and diffident in manner, he possessed a hid-
den determination that always accomplished its aim.

DUSK creeps over the Tower Building, spreading a chill

Dogged, determined, his ability to plan something and
then carry it out unwaveringly was remarkable. His devo-
tion to training was a lesson to all athletes: it brought re-
sults. So did his devotion to books. And he served both with
warmth and humor.
A good friend, too.
FRANCIS JOSEPH LAWLOR
BETWEEN classes when we were wont to congregate in
the rotunda, one could pretty accurately forecast just
who of the class would be found in one group and who in
another. That is, we must add, with the exception of Frank
Lawlor. Frank was ever to be found in unexpected places
and in different company, because, it seemed, he was ac-
quainted with everyone.
We all felt his genuine naturalness, we were all pleased at
his presence, and, somehow, when we rejoiced in his friend-
ship, we almost felt that our friends were as legion as his.

association and Photographic Editor of the Sub Tiirri besides.
And everything he did he handled with deftness and preci-

he's late again!" fill the class room, and the professor looks
down to seek the disturber.
Finally, as an innocent in the front row is being ejected,

From wavy head to nimble foot C. Joseph radiated this en-

Not content with being the source of the famous phrase,
"You'd better Licata you'll be late," Joe determined to be
at the same time a man-about-town and a student. As both
he succeeded. In fact, he became secretary of his local Bos-
ton College club, than which, when Joe was secretary, there
was no higher social position. And, student or secretary, he
was always sincere, industrious — and zestful.

Personality, they say, is half the battle on any field, and,
accordingly, all Dan's battles were half won before he be-

days were as sunny as any others. Still, he was no bookworm,
but rather a capable, energetic young man with a deter-
mined smile and a belief in Newman's media via.
Wherever you found him, he was the center of a lively
group discussing anything from Psych to Cicero, football
to Physics (in which, incidentally, he was the best of pos-
sible lab partners). Serious and jovial, each at the proper
time, wise, ever so likeable, was Dan.

IF we were just an ordinary Sub Tiirri, we should speak of
Tom's sunny disposition. But since we are, of course, any-
thing but an ordinary Sub Tiirri, we shall speak of his radi-
ant personality. For, after all, Tom's nature was so sunny,
or radiant, or call it what you will, that we can't help men-
tioning it. He possessed joviality and a quickness to perceive
humor, and yet there was a firmness underneath these quali-
ties.
Together with his — well — solar disposition, his sincerity
was outstanding. Instantly we realized that whatever Tom
told us, he meant.

WHENEVER you find a man with a warm heart and a
bright humor you find a man who glows. Fred's heart
was of the right temperature and his humor of the proper
disposition, and the result was that — like an oil burner — he
glowed quietly, steadily, warmly.
He was a sincere student, interested in comparing pres-
ent day findings in physics with tenets of scholastic philos-
ophy— witness his lecture on the Quantum Theory and free-
will— and this earnestness gave him a richness. To you, Fred,
and your glow, and your sincerity, and that drawling smile,
— good luck!

PROBABLY everyone in college who doesn't make his name
in athletics always intends to go out for track or base-
ball just for the exercise or the fun of it. We only know one
fellow in the class who was an exceptional student and who
carried out this familiar theme. That was John McCarthy.
He was a pleasant companion, and a student whose
grades looked like a news chart of a Boston hot spell or the
temperature chart of a fever patient. We nominate John for
research man in anything under the sun — or in it.

AFTER a year or so of collegiate wanderings Tom Mc-

think that it was in the fates that he should have come here
and blazed his glorious trail in pre-medical work which led
to the coveted Harvard appointment and to the quite uni-

succeed.
He had a truly fine mind, an excellent personality, and
yet a pleasantness and a common touch that ensure for him
a lasting place in the memory of us all.

As Advertising Manager of the Sub Tnrri, Bill more than
justified the confidence which appointed him to that
position. The impossibihty of bi-location didn't seem to hold
in Bill's case, at least where work on the Sub Turri was to be
done. His job was anything but an enviable one, but the
manner in which he carried out his task deserves the highest
possible praise.
Bill's crackling humor and telling wit, his much-tried
but never-failing patience and good nature, made for him
legions of lasting friends, and it is the hope of all of us who
have known him that we may always be counted among

EASE in uniting work and mirth seemed an especial talent
of pre-meds, and it is no exaggeration to say that in
accomplishing dozens of duties brilliantly and in having a
whale of a time doing them, Gene was a perfect genius.
His self- composure he nearly lost on only one occasion,
and that was when he was detected in a History class with
a ball of freshly fallen snow in his hand. His efforts to rid
himself of the incriminating evidence were uproarious, but
the fact remains that he did, and with a good bit of dignity
too.

Walter received the position of Manager of Football, an

complished, characteristically, with grace and finesse.

To this young man fame, deservedly, came early. For
when has was in Freshman he was chosen editor of that
unique booklet of verse written by members of his section,
Carmina Tirorum. Some of the selections in the volume
were very good, some, of course, less pleasing, but the pub-
hcation stands today as a gallant little monument to the
bright efforts of one Freshman section.
We could tell you many things in praise of its editor,
but rather let us leave his name in connection with this small,

IF there is any one thing which characterizes a Boston
College man, it is — no ma'am, not the phrase, "You must

ly, infectiously so. He was, as a matter of strict fact, fairly
quiet, yet both physically and mentally his vigor was so pro-
nounced that we felt he was the very spirit of activity.
Fortifying his light-heartedness, we perceived, was a

WALTER FREDERICK MURRAY
To Walter belonged the serenity of a man of good
thought. Very decidedly he was a man who tilled his
mind, and in reward he reaped wisdom, calm, understanding.
Another thing he gained was good humor, — but not the
helter-skelter, jack-in-the-box variety, rather the quiet good
nature we should expect in a very level-headed and self-
possessed young man. We used to marved at his bearing and
dignity as he strode up Lake Street mornings in sun, rain or
sleet, but we knew there was something equally sturdy. And
that was his good nature.

JOHN ANDREW NIEDZIOCHA
INDUSTRIOUS and affable was this blond athlete from down
Taunton way. He was one of Joe McKenney's gridiron
heroes. And could he chase a baseball! But wisely, he smacked
the books as well, gaining the respect of his professors. The
friendship and esteem of his classmates he always possessed.
Do you remember, Niedzi, the warm friendliness we al-
ways felt toward you and your loyalty and will power?
(And, by the way, do you remember your original discourse
on Patadeia in Junior Greek?) Remember this: — our friend-
ship for you we shall always retain.

FORTUNAT ALFRED NORMANDIN
BETWEEN taking care of Philomatheia matters and perpe-
trating experiments in chemistry, Porch had much to
take up his time. Before the laboratories demanded his after-
noons, he was a good football player though he wasn't as
big as some of the fellows. But labs became insistent and he
could frequently be seen with Louis Verde making his way
to the top floor of the Science Building.
Forch was alert, agile, genial. Chemistry will probably
be his life work, but whether or not his will be a fuming
future, it will certainly be a bright and satisfying one.

CHARLES WILLIAM O'BRIEN
EVEN if he was a notorious punster, Charlie appealed to
us as the ideal college man, for, while he led us in studies
and scintillated on the forensic platform, he never strained
his arm patting his back. He was still happy, helpful, com-
posed, "regular." In a quiet way he did much for class and
college, expecting little reward, so we were delighted to see
him forge to the front and win the Fulton medal, and after-
wards to see him chosen Tower Orator for Class Day.
Some day we'll be I-knew-him-whens when reference is
made to Charlie. And we'll recall his college years as well
and wisely spent.

\ew comers from Suburbiana were as friendly, as likable,
JL ' and, in a way, as distinctive, as Roxbury's Frank O'Brien.
A fellow of quiet purpose, he scorned the tumult of self-
advertisement; he went after whatever he sought without
display, and, apparently, without great effort. And what-
ever it was, it seemed that he always obtained it.
Arm in arm with his quiet purpose went a certain stur-
diness, a straightforward manliness which seemed to point
all his deeds. Frank was certainly a sensitive man of culture
and all that, still there was in him something of the sturdy
drive, the generosity, the wisdom, of the pioneer.

victorious, with head bloody, perhaps, but still pretty cocky.
But victory will always meet one with Dave's firm smile,

had a wit that bubbled up from a fine intellect, and a good-
nature which sprang from a charitable heart. You went out

Whether it was a bridge party, tea dance or. basketball game,
he brought the same pressure and energy to bear on each,

JOSEPH CHARLES PAES
YEARS and years and years ago there was a song which
proclaimed, "I'm just bub-bl-ing o-ver," and wherever
Joe appears, bands should play it. For in him affability,
freshness and what lady novelists used to call the "rapture of
youth" all seemed to be concentrated. Outside of class, he
was ever his sparkling self. In class, his buoyancy was some-
what subdued, yet it was never wholly subjected. In fact, it
gave a zest to his scholastic work, and we dare say that this
mingling of bubbling-over-ness with sincere work made him
the vital man and student he has become.
JOSEPH EDWARD PAGE, JR.
,(((ir FEAR a man of scanty speech" says the verse, and what
JL we'd hke to know is how it could possibly have been writ-
ten before Joe was born. Why, it's enough to make one move
over to the Adversaries' side of the Psych page, and turn
re-incarnationist.
We often wondered about the judgments behind those
quiet, intelligent eyes. Not that Joe was dour or anything of
the sort, for it would be hard to find anywhere a more
friendly fellow. But he was taciturn. And we know that his
ideas, to those who were privileged to hear them, proved
eminently worth while.

JOSEPH MERTENS PAUL, JR.
The hero of the day is Joe Paul,
and we certainly wish that Mark
Bellinger could write the story. It
seems that Joe was given the lead
in "Beau Brummel" when Ed Her-
lihy took his scarlet fever to bed.
Joe worked hard and long, mas-
tering his role in a surprisingly
short time. Then Ed got well. The
play was announced for a two
night engagement, — next Monday
and Tuesday. Mr. Bonn S. J., the
coach, decided that in deference to
both Joe and Ed, who worked so
diligently, that the right thing to
do would be to let each man play
the part once. Our Joe then enters
the scene and buckled. The coach,
embarrassed, then said that that
was the arrangement and he could
like it or else. But Joe buckled fur-
ther. It seems that he didn't mind
the idea of losing the part one
night at all, — no indeed. He insist-
ed tD the astonished cast that Ed
be allowed to play both nights,
since "it was his part in the first
place." Herlihy argued with him,
Mr. Bonn pleaded, but Joe was
adamant. Sounds like a boy scout
story, but it's the truth.

than did Luke; — heads turned irresistibly when he strode by.
Though something of a philosopher, he was essentially a man

ITiM was another of Roslindale's contributions to the col-

and scholastically. A clever baseball player too. Moreover
rumor had it that the call of social life was strong.
In a class in Education Jim once read a paper which
evoked the comment that its excellence was marred by the
difficulty of hearing the author. Jim's reply, audible to
barely a few, was that it was just as well, that had it all been
heard clearly, it might not have sounded so fine. This was

unselfishly, excellently. A bright companion, his friendship

He was agile, genial, good-looking — but there was some-

pathy— a sort of laughing-eyed expansiveness.

Not insensible himself to the pleasure of the table (and
of generously sharing it) , Charlie loved Horace's philosophy,
and his war-cry is memorable: "Cake! And beat the earth

and what this lacks in poetry it makes up in fact. Bill was
quiet, modest rather than shy, and possessed of a distinctive,

could help admiring his untiring effort and determination.
Puzzle: Tim was anything but negligent, since a more

there was probably no one in the class who deserved his A.B.
more than Tim. Yet it was his unique boast that he never
studied a single hour at home.

IN 1929 the Freshmen team was playing Dean Academy.
It was about the second game of the season and experts
were looking for Likely Material. Tongues whispered, stilled,
and cheered when the twelve winning points for the Fresh-
men were scored by one Joseph Ryder — Kent Hill. Here,
they said, is a football player. And, as ensuing years proved,
here was one.
The years proved more. They revealed that Joe was as
good a companion as player. Jovial, uncomplaining, humor-
ous in a sometimes ironic, sometimes almost whimsical fash-
ion, he became no less hero, more friend.

WILLIAM RUSSELL SHANAHAN
WILLIAM R. is the name.
And on the inimitable WiUiam R. we could always
depend for interesting conversation. Coming from Troy,
New York, as was manifest by the Hudson drawl which
always added color to his narratives. Bill was a notorious
physicist, even becoming President of the Physics Academy.
Often he studied out Dorchester way and then would walk
half-way back to Newton just for the exercise.
Picture a towering young man in a red sweater with a
brilliant brain and blissful banter, and you have some idea
of good-natured Bill Shanahan.
FRANCIS BERNARD SHEA
SOME are born great, some achieve greatness, and still
others have greatness thrust upon them. Frank suddenly
and unexpectedly found himself in the last category with
his appointment as beadle of Fr. Low's class. And testimony
is not lacking that he brought to the office a native genius
which invested it with a new and unaccustomed lustre — a
precedent for beadles.
Seriously, Frank left nothing to be desired as a typical
Boston College man. His one failing: a totally unwarranted,
yet stubbornly persisted-in belief that he knew how to play
bridge.

MICHAEL EDWIN SHEA
LET lesser lights claim what minor laurels they can, Mike
Shea will be known to posterity as the southpaw main-
stay of the twirling staff of that unforgettable baseball team
of Junior D. He is perhaps the only pitcher in history to re-
quire a pinch hitter every time at bat.
It is in reliance on Mike's extraordinary good nature that
we take such liberties with his fair name and reputation.
And it is in the form of a joyful tribute to that priceless
mutual spirit of friendly banter that ever prevailed in our
relations with him.
PAUL LAWRENCE SHERIDAN
?\
TALL, easy-going, red-headed, — certainly a remarkable
fellow — Paul was not of the usual run of red-heads. He
was neither fiery and excitable nor, on the other hand, dis-
interested and blase. Rather he had poise, — which he re-
tained even as a cheer-leader, despite the almost universal de-
mand for his cart-wheels.
Also, Paul was a humorist. He was good at repartee, but
he rated four stars for his swift, sparkling, but not unkind,
observations about proms, prisms, professors and just about
everything else under the sun. Calm, serene, affable, Paul was
possibly our best liked and most respected smoothie.

JOSEPH FRANCIS SHIELDS
IT was in the Marquette that Joe Shields' nasal twang first
attracted our attention. And closer acquaintance revealed
his keen wit, intellectual brilliance and quiet modesty to be
equally distinctive. A good debater and a student of high
scholastic achievement, Joe, for all his good-fellowship, was
somewhat averse to letting his light shine forth. However,
we remember with pleasure the rare occasions on which he
allowed himself to hold blushingly forth, — especially among
the select company of that grimly-embattled but illustrious
group. Junior D.

— except for one thing, and that was the constant

ized that he probably was.
If Harry was quiet, he was smart; if meek, of the meek
who shall inherit the earth. He was friendly, helpful, cour-
teous,— a tall, slender fellow who was every inch a gentle-
man. And he never lacked poise. On the contrary he was
quite the man of airy nonchalance, — especially in that relic
of medieval barbarism, the Scholastic Disputation or Circle.

WHILE some of us were running around from one thing
to another, at times, perhaps, acting pretty ridicu-
lously, one young man looked on with thoughtful eyes. It
was a mature, balanced young man whose high forehead and
direct gaze were indicative of his character. He was quiet.
He was unassuming because show or pretense was unneces-
sary. His friends sometimes regretted that his opinions were
not better known, but self -publicity of any sort was for-
eign to his personality. And, after all, he already had that
to which most of us aspire, — the respect and affection of his
friends.

to invite such attack and whose diligence and innate ability

presented that most desirable combination of fine student,

College is peculiarly successful in turning out. And he
achieved the reputation of being one of the social lions of

Personally, Charlie wins the nomination as our favorite

CHARLES ANTHONY SULLIVAN
HOWEVER applicable it may be to the publication of a
certain Stib Turri, the term "sleepy" can never be ap-
plied to Mr. Charles A. Sullivan. For, taciturn as he may
have been, he was certainly one of the mostest wide-awakest
young thinkers we knew. He was modest — almost too mod-
est— and consequently some of his classmates recognized
him as a sincere and genial companion, but not as a keen,
earnest philosopher.
But his friends discovered the whole of him, and it is
just because they understood him so well that they became
so admiring, so loyal.

IF during your travels you encounter a light-haired, hatless
young man swinging jauntily along, carolling the while
in Morton Downey fashion and creating the impression that
he hasn't a care in the world, you can be pretty sure that he's
Chris Sullivan. That Chris' sublime indifference to such
mundane things as lectures produced such high marks was
always a source of amazement and admiration to us. And
so was his seemingly irrepressible vitality.

IT was always a source of wonder and amusement to us to
watch Sull boarding the train at Fields Corner. He was
the only man we can remember who had to duck to negoti-
ate the door successfully. Yet for all his height, it is some-
what of a paradox and considerable of a tribute to say that
we have never known him to look down on anyone.
A conscientious student, — a burner of the midnight oil
in pre-med — a quiet, companionable classmate, Sull was a
man whose will, wisdom, gentlemanliness, can be called, we
hope, typical of Boston College.

WITH his personable wit and humor, Neil used to style
himself as "the model member of the Class of '33".
This self-conferred honor was, sad to relate, quickly for-
gotten after a memorable occasion on which Fr. Boehm de-
fined any model as "only a small imitation of the real thing."
But be that as it may, Neil was certainly the real thing
where industry and work were concerned. He possessed a
remarkable ability to tackle the most mountainous of jobs
and to conquer them as if they were molehills. The zeal with
which he undertook the most uninviting tasks, and the
success he always attained in them, were things for the rest
of us to admire, and to copy.

TIMOTHY Sullivan, known to some intimates as Two
Buck Tim for a reason they refuse to divulge (but
which, we presume, referred to that very ancient song rather
than to Tim's financial status), distinguished himself as one
of the most capable musicians the College has produced. He
was one of the most faithful members of the Musical Clubs
in 1933, and even outside of school he could be found in
places of the most contrasting character making sweet use of
his clever clarinet.
But to members of '33, Tim was noted not only for his
musical skill, but for his peculiarly dry wit and most oblig-
ing nature as well.

THERE are many aspects of Joe Tansey, any one of which
might form the nucleus of a very eulogistic biography:
— his scholastic leadership; his personal popularity, as evi-
denced by his strong candidacy for the class presidency in
c^^j|/^ Junior; his clarity and vigor of thought and expression;
even his slashing tennis game. But to our mind, Joe's out-
standing characteristic was his uncompromising, almost
brusque frankness which attracted and held true friends, at
the same time scaring away successfully any sycophants.
Brusque and brilliant, straight, clear-eyed, Joe became
our model because we recognized in him — stature.

For The Chief some proverbs seem made-to-order. And

that fell to his lot, and of doing so in a way which demanded

rendered "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing" would have
made envious Messrs. Crosby and Vallee grasp their micro-

Also, Roger was quite a baseball player, a writer on prac-

Quiet, yet congenial; a good student, yet a good mixer
too; always willing to cooperate in class activities, yet never
blatant in advertisement of that fact; Tom possessed this
important knowledge: — he knew when to be light-hearted;
he knew when to be serious.

BOTH individually and collectively the members of the class of 1934 were very
prominent in College affairs in 1932-1933. Under the direction of Gregory SuUi-
van the class completed an eminently successful year, and several of its members served
in sports, socials and the various extra-curricular activities.
On the football squad no less than twenty-one men represented this body. Frank
Maloney and Ed Kelley played fullback, Johnny Dougan, Jim Lillis, Tom Blake, Bill
Carr, Ray Harrington, Bob Ott and Joe Orlosky halfback, and Johnny Freitas quarter-
back. Flavio Tosi, Joe Killelea, Stanley Jundzil and Harold Ramsey were ends, Ike Ezmunt
and Frank Donahue tackles, and Louis Musco and Greg Sullivan were at center while
Gerry Slamin, John O'Lalor and Pat Ford were guards. In baseball Johnny Freitas, Bill
Boehner, Charlie Kittredge, Roger Shea, Ray Funchion and John McLaughlin represented
the class. Joe McLaughlin was Manager of Hockey, while Ray Funchion, Herb Crimlisk,
Tom Blake, Greg Sullivan and Charlie Downey were active on the team. And several of
the class were interested in track, including Paul Dailey, Dana Smith, John McManus,
Bill Parks, Bill Hayes, Neal Holland, Flavio Tosi, Bill Donahue, Tom Daley and Guarino
Pasquontonio. A number of others attained prominence in minor sports, among them
Paul Shine, who was Captain of the Rifle Team, and Herb Kenny, Captain of the Fenc-
ing Team.
Moreover, members of the class were anywhere but in the background in other activi-
ties. Robert Glennon, John Roach, James Fay, John Barry and WiUiam Donahue of the
Fulton all engaged in intercollegiate debating. Herbert Kenny was Managing Editor of
the Stylus, and afterwards Editor of the Junior Pic. Many worked on the Heights, while
A. Marcus Lewis was elected President of the French Academy. And certainly one of the
outstanding men of the College was Ted Marier, genial pianist, director of the band and
composer of the music of that stirring song, "Sweep Down the Field for Boston."
The class' social activities began with the Hallowe'en costume party at the Hotel
Bradford on October 21st and ended with the dance at the Commonwealth Country Club
on May 24th. But of chief interest, of course, was the Junior Prom which was held on
February 17th. Raymond H. Roberts was chairman of the prom, and William J. Day, Jr.,
chairman of the week. A skating party was also held, an innovation for the week.
Not to be left out in mentioning Junior Week is the unforgettable football game held
the preceding November in which the Junior Week committeemen defeated the band
before the cheering onlookers at the famous Cleveland Circle Coliseum.
Dick Whittingion, the musical extravaganza which the class presented in conjunction
with the Junior Philomatheia Club, was a memorable feature of Junior Week. Unques-
tionably it was one of the most elaborate productions — collegiate or commercial — which
those in the audience had ever seen. George L. Keleher was appointed chairman of the
show.
After 193 3 the class continued its activities as wisely as it had conducted them before.
Gregory Sullivan was again president and again piloted his class through shallow financial
seas to harbor. The unity which always marked the functioning of the class' affairs was
always one of its most enviable characteristics. In the Spring of 193 3 Herbert A. Kenny
was elected to the editorship of the Heights, and handled this venture as skillfully as he
had previously handled the Junior Pic. Besides editing the sheet, he conducted the column,
"Tabloid," as Editor Dan Cotter had done two years before. A. Marcus Lewis, who was
chosen to take care of the Sub Turri, saw that it was published well — and promptly. In
sports, Frank Maloney, Captain of Football, brought his team through a successful season,
defeating Holy Cross, 13-6, while Captain Charlie Kittredge and his baseball team like-
wise enjoyed a happy season. Hockey, under Captain Ray Funchion, had a fine year, and
the feature of the track season was the defeat of Holy Cross at the dual meet for the first
time in many years. John McManus was captain.
Then a desired and dreaded day arrived and again Boston College held her annual Com-
mencement exercises. Thus in the June of 1934 the class joined the alumni, leaving be-
hind a bright history in the College annals.

UNDER the genial guidance of its president, Frank Liddell, the class of 193 5 became
one of the most interesting and colorful groups at the College. In 1932-1933 there
were few activities in which members of the class did not take part.
Twenty-three of the class were on the football squad. Bernard Moynahan, Roger Kir-
van, John Kirvan, Bob Curran, Joe Curran, Dave Couhig, Al Luppi, Frank Liddell and
Paul Curley were listed as backs, and Henry Ohrenberger and Frank Cowhig as tackles.
Gordon Connor, Paul Donohoe, Ray Prendergast, Ed Anderson, Jim Dalton and Roger
Egan were ends, and Bill Duffy and Walter Picard guards, while Randy Wise, Ed O'Brien,
Ray Perry and Peter McCauley played center. Six of the class. Bob Curran, Dave Con-
cannon, Bob Duffy, Ed Anderson, Ray Prendergast and Charlie Callahan, polished the
baseball diamond, and there were at least eight track men. John Joyce, Gordon Connor,
Dave Couhig, Frank Eaton, Gerald Lee, John McCurdy, Frank O'Loughlin and Albert
Rooney were among them. Frank Liddell, Harold Groden and Randy Wise were active
in hockey.
Intellectual activities were far from neglected. John Murphy, Raymond Belliveau,
Gabriel Ryan and several others were prominent in the Marquette, and Paul Curley,
Charles Daly, Arthur Sullivan and Raymond Belliveau in dramatics. Irvin Brogan was
named Prefect of the Sophomore-Freshman Sodality. Steven Fleming, Grover Cronin,
Henry Foley and John Mclver were all active Stylus men. A poem of Steven Fleming,
"The Werewolf," won for the Stylus a first place award in a contest conducted by the
Literary Association of Jesuit Colleges.
Several class functions were given. A Sophomore social was held at Longwood Towers
on December 7th. Eddie Welch's Orchestra, of which Ted Marier of the class of 1934
was pianist, played. Charles Featherstone was chairman. On March 16th the class ban-
quet was given in the Senior Assembly Hall, under the direction of Eddie O'Brien. Rev.
Francis V. Sullivan, S.J., and Rev. Robert E. Sheridan, S.J., were present. George Good-
win, Steven Fleming (who, according to the Heights, stole the show, turning the cele-
bration into a Steven Fleming Nite), George McCarron, Joe Keefe, Arthur Sullivan, Dan
Carney and several others took part in the entertainment, including Jerome Sullivan and
Charles Sargent who imitated two popular French professors.
On April 28 th, under the chairmanship of Gene Donaldson, the Sophomore Prom was
successfully held in the ballroom of the Chamber of Commerce Building. Ruby New-
man's Orchestra played.
In the two years that followed the graduation of the class of 193 3 its younger brother
attained all the prominence that seemed its due. Frank Liddell, twice re-elected presi-
dent, continued to serve the class as he had before. For the year 193 3-34 Steven Fleming
was chosen to edit the Stylus, a rare honor for a member of the Junior class. In the fol-
lowing year Grover Cronin headed the publication, giving the class the distinction of
having two Stylus editors in its midst. Eddie O'Brien was Editor-in-Chief of the Heights,
and considering the difficulty in administering his job in a time of thin finances, he did
remarkably well. In arranging to give his class an excellent Sitb Turri, Raymond Belliveau
worked steadily and wisely. Grover Cronin and Joseph Ryan headed the Fulton. The Musi-
cal Clubs had an outstanding season.
Dave Couhig was elected Captain of Football, and the team fought against obstacles
through a quite successful season, despite a loss of the annual game to Holy Cross, 7-2.
This was the last team to be coached by the ever-admired Joe McKenney. Frank Liddell
was Captain of Hockey in the first year in which it was officially recognized as a major
sport. Dartmouth and Boston University were among those defeated. Co-captains headed
baseball, both of them fine players, — Bob Curran and Dave Concannon. And during the
indoor season of track, of which John Joyce was captain, second place in the intercol-
legiates was taken by the two-mile relay team.
Robert Adams and Raymond Belliveau were chosen Commencement speakers.
A tragedy in the lives of all members of the class — and of the alumni as well — was the
sudden death of Rev. Patrick J. McHugh, S.J., the beloved Dean of Studies. Sorrowful
about the sad event, the class knew that in Rev. Walter J. Friary, S.J., Fr. McHugh has
a worthy successor.

ON the morning of the second Thursday in September, 1932, a number of young men
were assembled in a loosely clinging group about the steps of the Tower Building. A
hooded man behind a camera said, "Just a minute pliss, boys." There was a click, and the
crowd disintegrated. A unit's first recording had been made.
The Class of 1936 began its life with awe, yet to become affection. Dean of Freshman
was Rev. Russell M. Sullivan, S.J., who personified the seriousness, enthusiasm and zeal
proper to the Freshman's incipient career. The wheels slowly began to turn, not painlessly,
with Quintus Horatius Flaccus, John Henry Cardinal Newman, "Poetry is the expres-
sion ..." sines and cosines. Summer faded and it began to get dark early. And the beauti-
ful big green stadium was dedicated one day, and the football season had begun.
And while the Varsity team was scoring up victories, the Frosh team didn't do so
badly itself. Bill Kelleher's boys lost one game (to St. Anselm's), tied one (with Dean
Acadenny, 0-0) and won three. Defeated were Bucksport Seminary, 13-6, B. U. Fresh-
men, 19-0, and finally the Holy Cross Freshmen, 13-6.
On November 10th the class elected its officials. Now an official entity, it was tendered
its Freshman Day. November 23rd brought intramural football, cinema, a banquet, music
and entertainment. After Christmas vacation the class entertained for the first time, in
the Kenmore Hotel, with an informal dance. Following hard upon this event came the
first barrage of provincial fire. Several fell by the wayside, and the rest marched on.
Towards the middle of February came a change in one of the faculty offices. Fr. Sullivan,
the dean, because of illness was transferred to duty in the missions. On February 18th,
1933, he sailed away to Jamaica. Rev. Walter F. Friary, S.J., one of the Freshman profes-
sors and afterwards Dean of Studies, was chosen to replace him.
On April 3rd the Marquette Prize Debate was held. Of the six contestants three were
members of the class. They were C. Donald Floyd, Lawrence J. Riley and Mark J. Dalton.
To Mark Dalton was awarded the Gargan Medal for individual rhetorical excellence.
Largely through the instrumentality of George F. Mahoney, the class of 1936 was
individually represented on the diamond in the field of sport. He arranged a substantial
schedule, and with the co-operation of the class, despite financial obstacles, was able to
effect a very commendable season.
The class climaxed the social season with the Freshman Prom, which was held at the
Hotel Somerset on the evening of May 12th. John Mclnerny was chairman, and Ruby
Newman played.
One by one each of the exams clicked under the wheel of the days, and at last the class'
first year was over.
The following years moved swiftly. Louis Mercier, Henry Beauregard and others con-
tinued their fine work on the Stylus. Zaitz, Driscoll, Galligan and Brennan were among
those who offered valuable service to the football squad. The Sophomore Social was chair-
manned by John T. Daley, and before long it was time for the Sophomore Banquet. Law-
rence J. Riley was chairman. Robert SanSouci conducted an all-Sophomore orchestra. A
feature was the tragi-comedy presented a la grec, with chorus and chorypheus. On March
12th another Marquette Prize Debate was held and again a member of the class, this time
Lawrence J. Riley, won the medal. The Sophomore Promenade, held in the Imperial Ball-
room of the Hotel Statler, was one of the outstanding events of the year.
During the summer of 1934 John Maguire abdicated his class presidency to enter the
seminary. James H. Mclnerney was elected to his place.
In 1934-3 5 the class skipped from syllogism to syllogism, all in the direction of Junior
Week. After several of the class had figured prominently in football, Joe O'Brien was
elected captain for the following year. After the season of hockey, where again men of
the class were active, Fred Moore was chosen to be its captain. And in the Spring, Paul
Power, who had shown great talent in his work both on the Heights and on the Stylus,
was named as editor-in-chief of the former. Henry Beauregard won the Fulton Prize De-
bate. Frederick W. Roche was elected to head the class in 193 5-36.
Thus at the end of the year, members of that class which was, figuratively, a babe in
arms in 1933, stood ready to don all the aged dignity of Senior.

Dedication of the Stadiumi
t;
^HE football season of 1920 had come to an end.
Boston College had just completed a most success-
ful campaign, numbering Yale among its victims, and as
a result football interest at the Heights was running
unusually high.
With a view to giving the Maroon and Gold elevens a
larger field in which to play their football games, plans
were drawn up for a new stadium to take the place of
the Alumni Field dedicated in 1915, but which, now, five
years later, was deemed inadequate for the increasing
number of spectators that were beginning to follow Bos-
John P. Curley, '13 ^^ t^ it- a ii i • j- r l
„ , , ,, ton Colleee athletic teams. Ail seemed in readiness tor the
Graduate Manager ^
of Athletics carrying out of the project, when due to unavoidable cir-
cumstances, it had to be laid aside.
Vitally interested in the working of the group which fostered the original plans was
John P. Curley, present graduate manager of athletics. Hardly had he succeeded Frank
Reynolds in office, when a rumor was heard to the effect that Boston College would
have a new stadium, and in the spring of 1932 this rumor became a fact, when Father
Louis J. Gallagher, S.J., newly elected president of the college, and the graduate board
of athletics gave their approval to the project.
Work was begun about the first of June under the supervision of Rev. Charles
Roddy, S.J., faculty director of athletics. Student help was employed with very few
exceptions. It was the lot of this group to tear down the old stands, sift dirt, chop down
trees — in short, devote their time and efforts to the completion of the stadium. A few
miscreants threw clods at each other, and slept behind dirt piles, a decided "extra
curricular activity," and one not called for in the original contract.
Members of the football squad came to work about the middle of June and devoted
their time and effort to the erection of the stadium proper. This section was dubbed
"The Iron Workers" because of their work on the steel stands. They remained on the
job until the 25th of August when they left for Jackson, N. H. to go into training for
the football season.
At the Loyola game on October 1 the stadium was dedicated with appropriate cere-
mony. Among the gathering were President Louis J. Gallagher, S.J., Monslgnor Burke,
representing Cardinal O'Connell, Mayor Curley of Boston and Mayor Weeks of New-
ton. Thus was taken another step in the building of Boston College, a step which has
been termed as "the greatest forward movement since the original purchase of the land
on which Boston College now stands."

Sweep down the field for Boston,
Marching on to glory,
Forward fighting Eagles,
Carry home the spoils of victory.
We'll crush the foe before us
As the Boston men of old, so
Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
For the old Maroon and Gold.
Cheered to victory, our team sweeps on,
The foe is vanquished and their spirit gone,

THE 1929 edition of the Maroon and Gold Freshman eleven presented a fine group
of candidates to Coach Bill Kelleher, starting his third season as yearling mentor.
Mario Romano, the "hysterical Plymouth Rock"; Phil Couhig, the speech-making foot-
ball captain; George Taylor; Tubber Brennan; Maurice Whelan; Tom Connolly, all of
whom were to make their presence felt before they received their sheepskin, helped form
a formidable frontier. Others included in the line were Gerry Slamin, Don Ward, Flavio
Tosi and Don Fleet. In the backfield were Pete Chesnulevich, who later was to make
his mark as one of the flashiest backs to ever don the colors of Maroon and Gold, Jack
Cassidy, Roddy Hughes, Ray Callen, Charley Kittredge, Lou Musco, Joe Ryder, AI
Luppi, Bucky Warren and Buddy Roy.
Victories were scored over St. Anselm's 13-0; Dean 12-0; and St. John's Prep 6-0.
A 7-7 tie with Bridgeton at the first Freshman Day and a 7-6 loss to Holy Cross com-
pleted the schedule.
Sophomore
If any team had its ups and downs the 193 0 eleven surely did. Starting off like world
beaters they downed Catholic University 54-6. The team slowed down considerably for
the second game, barely nosing out the Quantico Marines 13 to 7. This contest was
played during the American Legion convention week and drew a fine crowd.
The heavy Fordham machine, enjoying an undefeated season, was the next visitor, and
though heavily favored, the Ram barely squeezed by for a 3 to 0 victory through the
medium of Frank Bartos' field goal late in the fourth period. Still fighting, but lacking a
scoring punch, the Eagles suffered their second loss in a row, this time being clawed up by

the Villanova Wildcat in Philadelphia 7 to 0. Clete Gardner,
the Main Liner's captain, put on an Ail-American exhibition
of football and personally conducted his mates to victory.
The next game was played in Boston where Dayton Uni-
versity was submerged 15 to 6 on an afternoon which looked
like the preliminary to another historic flood. Marquette
next brought along a field goal artist named Milton Graney,
who booted the pigskin twice between the uprights for the
only scores of the day made by either team.
The Georgetown contest, the next on the schedule, was the
thriller of the season. The two teams pushed and shoved
each other over the field for three touchdowns apiece, but a
missed try for point after the final Maroon and Gold touch-
down spelled defeat 20 to 19.
A trip to Chicago to meet Loyola University in a night
game placed the home boys back on the winning path once
again, 19-0. Boston University next gave the team a limber-
ing up in preparation for the Holy Cross engagement, the
Eagles romping through almost at will to score seven touch-
downs, Chessy tallying three of them. Hootstein registered
the Terrier's annual six-pointer. Final score 47 to 7.
The 28th annual classic between Boston College and Holy
Cross resulted in a 7 to 0 win for the visitors from Mt. St.
James. A blocked punt in the second period, recovered be-
hind the goal line by Zyntell, and a Captain Garrity conver-
sion were the margin of defeat. It was the first Holy Cross
win since 1924.
Jtiiiio}'
In one of the best contests ever to open a Boston College
football schedule, Catholic University was turned back 26-7,
but not until they had given the Eagle backers a genuine
scare. For after receiving the opening kickoff the visitors
marched to a touchdown in six quick plays and kicked the
extra point. The half ended with the score 7 to 6. Boston
College started rolling in the second half, however, and thres
touchdowns, two of them by Chesnulevich, took the_ game
out of danger. Chessy v/as the whole show in the Dayton
contest, scoring one touchdown, rushing the point, and throw-
ing a forward to Meier for the final six-pointer to give Boston
College a 13 to 0 win.
Captain Jim Murphy of the Fordham machine accounted
for 14 of his boys' points as his charges waltzed throvigh the
Eagle forces for a 20 to 0 win in the third game of the
season. Villanova won the next game 12 to 6, the Boston
College score coming on the end of Harry Downes' 8 5 yard
run after intercepting a pass. Marquette again went West
with another victory this time 7 to 0, the touchdown being
scored in the final period after the Eagles had been battered
b)' the heavier Westerners.
In their 20 to 2 win over Georgetown the team showed a
decided improvement in all branches of the game. Chessy
once again tallied twice. The Municipal Stadium in Baltimore
was the scene of the second straight victory, this time at the
Warren, back
expense of Western Maryland 19 to 13. The historic Ken-
tucky Colonels provided the opposition on Armistice Day,
and were forced to go back to their southern plantations
suffering a 7 to 0 defeat.
McKenney kept most of his regulars on the bench during
the Boston University game, the subs rolling up an 18 to 6
win. At one time during the contest the Terriers became
especially vicious, so Chessy was sent in to tame them with
two touchdowns. Hootstein once again scored his annual
touchdown against the Eagles for the only score of the
Intowners.
The annual Holy Cross classic held at the Harvard Sta-
dium on Thanksgiving Day afternoon was the highlight of
the football season. A punt blocked by Ike Ezmunt when
the Purple was forced to kick in the shadow of the goal, and
recovered by DeVenuti behind the goal line, was responsible
for the only Boston College score. Everything pointed to a
Maroon and Gold celebration until Phantom Phil O'Connell,
held in check all day by the fierce tackling of Captain Joe
Kelly, dashed into the territory vacated by the gallant
Maroon and Gold leader, who had been forced to leave the
game, and ran 1 8 yards for the equalizer without a hand
being laid upon him. Griffin kicked the all-important win-
ning point.
Senior
Strengthened by a two week pre-season training period at
Jackson, N. H., the 1932 edition of the Maroon and Gold
varsity dedicated the new Alumni Field at University
Heights, October 1, with a well-earned 20-0 victory over
the Comerford-coached Loyola eleven from Baltimore before
a representative gathering of some 10,000 football enthusiasts.
Pete Chesnulevich was the key man in the Maroon and
Gold attack. When he was not ripping holes in the Loyola
line he was tossing passes to his teammates or kicking goals
after touchdown. Though he rung up only two points for
his afternoon labors, his pass to Johnny Freitas gave Boston
College the first tally to be made on Alumni Field and a toss
to Tosi, the second six-pointer, this coming after a brilliant
50 yard dash through the Loyola team by the aforementioned
Mr. Chesnulevich. Bob Curran added the final touchdown in
the last period.
One pleasant surprise was the snappy appearance made by
the squad in their new maroon uniforms with gold trim.
They were a decided improvement over the old suits of gold
with maroon trim. The only violator of the rule of sartorial
conduct was Mario Romano, who allowed his stockings to slip
from their moorings as he was coming out of the game in
the final quarter. We are glad to say, however, that this
untoward incident had no effect on his play for he was con-
tinually piling up the opposing backs at the line of scrim-
mage. Maurice Whalen, George Taylor and "Class Poet"
Reynolds also gave a fine account of themselves while Phil
Couhig, the leader of the first eleven to play on the new
Alumni Field, set a shining example for his mates.

Center
The "Praying Colonels" of Center College, famous for
their Bo McMillan and Red Weaver were the second
visitors to Alumni Field. This contest drew a Columbus Day
crowd of 14,000 fans, the largest to see a football game at
Alumni Field all season.
Johnny Freitas was the big gun in this game, his thrilling
67 yard dash after catching a punt late in the final period,
giving Boston College the only score of the contest. It was
only after being worn down by superior man-power that the
visitors from the Blue Grass State, who gave one of the most
courageous exhibitions seen on Alumni Field all year, were
forced to bow in defeat.
Boston College opened up in great style, marching the
length of the field to finally lose the ball behind the line
when a pass was grounded in the end zone. From that time
on neither goal line was threatened seriously until Freitas'
startling dash. Catching a Center punt near his own 3 0 yard
line he ran toward the sideline at his left. Seeing that he
would be buried under five or six opposing tacklers who
were swarming down upon him, Johnny turned a complete
circle and headed for the opposite side of the field. At mid-
field he again was met, this time by another section of "the
invaders' army," but by wonderful sidestepping and dodging,
and aided no little by timely interference on the part of his
mates, he avoided all danger and finally outsped the safety
man to score standing up for the sole tally of the contest.
Marquette
Hopes of an undefeated season were rudely shattered as a
result of the Marquette contest played in Milwaukee on Sat-
urday, October 22. It marked the first time that year that
the goal line was crossed, and also the first game in which
Boston College failed to score.
The game had hardly gotten under way when an attempted
Freitas punt was blocked on the 20 yard line. The orphaned
pigskin was claimed by Becker, Marquette end, but 1 5 yards
from the goal line and in two plays the Golden Avalanche
had tallied six points. Becker added the seventh on a well-
placed kick.
Not content with one touchdown with the game only five
minutes old, the home boys made the count 1 3 when, on the
very next kickoff, Becker ran the ball to the three yard line
where he was finally downed by Frank Maloney. There was
no stopping the Marquette surge, however, and Ronzani
swept over on the next play for the touchdown and the
final score of the contest.
From this point on Marquette was content to play a wait-
ing game, while try as the visitors might, they could not
pierce the rugged defense of the Westerners, their closest
approach to scoring being somewhere in the vicinity of the
20. yard mark. Marquette managed to work the ball into
Boston College a few times during the remainder of the
Romano, cente
game but by climbing up the backs of the lanky eligible
receivers, the midget Maroon and Gold secondary prevented
the completion of any forward passes.
lordham
Boasting one of the outstanding elevens in the country
and heavily favored to win, a powerful Fordham team paid
its first visit to the Heights since the fall of 1918. But
when the last whistle had blown and the final returns were
in, Boston College had triumphed for the first time in four
years, and in so doing had uncovered a field-goal kicker in the
person of Norwood's Ed Kelley. Kelley's placement kick, late
in the second period, was the only score of the game and the
result astounded the football world who had predicted a
Maroon win by at least three touchdowns.
But benefiting by the mistakes of the Marquette clash,
and also by the practice furnished a whole week previous
to the game by a strong Freshman team in running through
the Fordham plays, the Maroon and Gold eleven outfought,
outrushed and outscored the visitors from the Bronx. The
nearest the New Yorkers came to the Boston citadel was the
20 yard line, and this only because Boston College promptly
fumbled after the leather had been brought out following a
touchback. The determined charge of the Eagles, however,
not only halted the expected drive of the visitors, but drove
them back to the 3 5 yard stripe in three plays.
Anderson started the Maroon and Gold march for the
winning score by recovering a Maroon fumble near the 3 0
yard line. After two first downs were made, the attack
stalled in the shadow of the goal posts, and Kelley dropped
back to 15 yard line and booted over the all-important tally
with Freitas holding the ball.
Villanova
Almost as surprising as was the Fordham win, so, too, was
the 20-9 loss to Villanova. The lads from Philly boasted three
wins and a 7 to 6 setback at the hands of South Carolina,
but the Wildcats were not figured to defeat Boston College.
However, the Fordham win must have exacted too great a
toll on the home boys, for after setting up a 9 to 0 lead,
they wilted considerably halfway through the second period,
and three touchdowns, one before the close of the first half,
and the other two in the third quarter, clinched 20 points
and the verdict for the Main Liners.
The scoring opened shortly after the start of the game
with Ed Kelley coming through once again with a field goal,
this time from the 32 yard hne, and when Tosi blocked a
Donahue punt on the 2 5 yard mark, and recovered behind
the goal line for a touchdown, it looked like clear sailing.
However, this was the signal for Harry Stuldreher's boys to
get down to work. From this poiflt on Boston College did
not seriously threaten, while Villanova improved as the
game progressed. Their first score came on a line buck by Joe
York, the ball being placed in position mainly through a 30
Connors, cuard
Donohoe, tacUe
yard dash by Whitey Randour, the
visitors' big attraction. The second
tally came after a long march the
length of the field, while the final
touchdown and the one which re-
moved all doubt about the final result
of the contest was tallied by Randour
himself on a 45 yard pass from Toby
Cavanaugh.
Western Maryland
Friday, Nov. 11, Armistice Day,
brought the strong Western Maryland
team to Alumni Field and when peace
was declared, the Maroon and Gold
had once again thrown away a fine
lead, this time one of 14 points, the
game ending in a tie 20 to 20.
Boston College had the going all its
own way in the first half and particu-
larly in the first quarter, when two
touchdowns were scored, one on a
pass from Chesnulevich to Maloney
and the second on a 1 5 yard gallop
through tackle by Chessy. The
Nashua mite also kicked the extra
point for a 13 to 0 lead.
The visitors scored shortly before
the half ended on a line plunge by
Shepherd, but the Eagles went into a
14 point lead in the third quarter
when Chesnulevich carried the ball
over from the 27 yard line in two
plays. He again added the extra point.
However, no sooner had Boston
College scored its third touchdown
than the gentlemen from the south
began to go places. A series of decep-

Boston University
On the muddiest gridiron of the
year the Boston University Terrier
was repulsed 21 to 6 in the warm-up
clash before the Holy Cross game.
Getting a new deal in the coaching
line, the charges of Lane, McManmon
and Colucci were expected to put up
quite a battle. But once again it was
the annual story of too much man
power.
Boston College ran up the initial
score in the first quarter on a pass
from Chessy to Freitas, who caught
the rain-soaked oval on the 30 yard
line and waded along to the goal line
without a hand being laid upon him.
Pete swam up a few minutes later to
kick the point.
Shortly after, the home boys again
splashed over for a score. This time it
was Chessy who picked his way
around the puddles, taking off from
the three yard line in a beautiful
swan dive to land safely in the pool
beyond. His kick for the point, though
successful, landed in a large puddle, so
that S. S. Pigskin had to be retrieved
with a pole before the contest could
continue.

Convinced that the game was as
good as won, McKenney sent his first
stringers up for their Saturday night
baths while the rest of the squad ate
mud and drank water for the re-
mainder of the game. Joe Curran
slopped over for the final six-pointer
before the end of the first half.
"Ducky" Warren paddled over for the
point. The Terriers tallied their annual
touchdown in the third quarter on a
lateral from LeGuerne to Ulman.
Chesnulevich was the best swimmer
for Boston College, plunging across
for one touchdown, passing for an-
other, and adding two points after
touchdown. "Web Foot" Couhig was
right at home, paddling his way over
and through the puddles, while
"Plymouth Rock" Romano stood
firm as the breaking waves dashed
high about him.
Holy Cross
One of the most freezing days ever
to dawn on a Boston College-Holy
Cross football game greeted 10,000
odd fans who braved the frigid winds
of Fitton Field to witness the 30th
meeting between these two Jesuit
rivals. Slightly favored to win, the
odds being based to a great extent on
their season's defensive showing, the
Purple hoard was pushed and shoved
to all corners of the gridiron as an
inspired Maroon and Gold offense,
more potent than at any time during
the year, chalked up ten first downs
to the Crusaders' none. Though the

offensive power of the Holy Cross
eleven was lacking, their much-
heralded defensive ability was never
more in evidence, for try as the
Maroon and Gold stalwarts might,
they could not cross that last white
line.
The nearest approach to anything
resembling a score came in the first
quarter. Taking the ball on their own
3 0 yard stripe, the Eagles, with
Chessy and Freitas doing most of the
carrying, advanced the oval as far as
the three yard line. On fourth down,
with goal to go, Freitas gave one dy-
ing effort but the strong Purple fron-
tier held like a brick wall. From that
point on, play was centered at mid-
field, Holy Cross never getting any
closer to the Maroon and Gold fort-
ress than the 45 yard line.
In his last college game Phil Couhig
put up one of the best exhibitions of
his entire career. Couhig was more
often than not the fifth man in the
Crusaders' backfield, while other
times he was content to stop the play
at the line of scrimmage. Romano,
Taylor, Whelan and Reynolds all did
fine work while little Peter Chesnule-
vich lived up to all the things ex-
pected of him, doing the greater
portion of the carrying, and coming
through with as much yardage as
could be expected against such a
rugged frontier as that which the
Purple boasted.

Message
I WISH to take this opportunity to express my
personal appreciation to the baseball squad of
1933 and particularly to those who are members
of the class of 1933 for the commendable spirit
of co-operation which made my third year as
varsity coach one of the most successful of them
all.
Faced with the discouraging prospect of begin-
ning practice on a make-shift field, and handi-
capped to a great extent by unfavorable weather,
the squad went ahead to give Boston College one
of the most courageous outfits to ever sport the
colors of Maroon and Gold.
A team that can spot a Jack Barry coached nine
a game, and that by the discouraging count of
15-1, and then come back to win the next two
contests, has plenty of what it takes to be success-
ful, not only on the field of sport but also in the
game of life.
To Captain Jim Crowley, Duke Mclntyre,
Buddy Roy, Pete Chesnulevich, Jim Powers, Bob
Graney and Tom Walsh, I wish the greatest of
success in the years to come. And to you of the
Class of 1933, remember that these boys came back
to win only after the hardest kind of battle. What
they can do, so, too, can you.
Yours with best regards,
FRANK J. McCREHAN.

THERE was some doubt as to whether Frank McCrehan would
return to coach the Freshmen in the spring of 1930. He had
enjoyed a very successful year in 1929 his first as coach of the year-
lings, his nine losing only to St. John's Prep, but due to pressure of
business it was thought that he would be required to forego his
coaching activities. However, when the bell rang for the initial prac-
tice McCrehan was ready to impart his knowledge to as fine a group
of ball players as ever entered Boston College.
For pitchers he had Buddy Roy, Bill Boehner, Bill Erwin, who
later transferred to Mt. St. Mary's and Joe Kimball from Newton.
Behind the bat were Duke Mclntyre, Mario Romano and Owen
Mullaney. On the initial hassock was stationed heavy sticker Joe
Ryder, but he was closely pushed for the job by Charley Kittredge.
At second base was Peter Chesnulevich. Bucky Warren, Tom Walsh,
Bert Nyhan all waged a close battle for the hot-corner assignment
and Bob Graney was added to this trio, when he saw that he could
not displace Jim Crowley at shortstop. Warren, Nyhan and Graney
all played third during the year.
The outfield was composed of the left-over infielders but they per-
formed their task to perfection. George Taylor, who originally started
out to be a catcher, cavorted in the left garden; Tom Walsh was
shifted from the hot-corner to center field, while Bill Hogan picked
them out of the sun in right field.
The team defeated Andover 6-4, Wentworth 11-2, Boston Uni-
versity 17-11 and 8-3, St. Anselm's 1-0, Exeter 6-2, and Dartmouth
Freshmen 5-4. Defeats were administered by Samuel Johnson Prep 6-5
and Holy Cross Freshmen.
Sophomore
Frank "Cheese" McCrehan was appointed varsity coach in the
spring of 1931.
After the usual limbering-up exercises held at the Commonwealth
Armory, McCrehan selected the men to take on the trip south. Pete
Herman, Ed Gallagher, Jim Donovan, Barney Curtin and Harry
Downes were the pitchers, all having more or less experience in hurling
the pellet by the wagon tongue wavers. The "local boys" who made
good on the pitching staff were Buddy Roy and Bill Erwin. Capt.
George Colbert, Freddy Meier and Duke Mclntyre, another home
town product, were delegated to catch the slants of the chuckers dur-

Alumni Field, Pete Chesnulevich, Jim Crowley and Andy Spognardi.
In the outer garden, reading from left to right were Johnny Temple,
Jopey "Baldy" Shea and Frank Reagan. These lads had held down the
far reaches of Alumni Field for the past two seasons so their selection
was merely a matter of form.
The trip was a flop as far as sunny weather was concerned. The
contests with the Quantico Marines and Georgetown were cancelled
due to wet grounds. Villanova won 5-2, but the boys equalized by
defeating Princeton 12-4.
Returning once again to the aerie on the Heights, the Eagle got off
on the right foot, through Pete Herman's masterful four-hit hurling
to defeat Boston University 3-0. The victory march was halted tem-
porarily on Patriot's day when Fordham inflicted a 10-6 loss. Then
followed six straight victories, the string starting with a 7-5 win over
Syracuse and followed by victories over St. Bonaventure 6-3, Boston
University 17-4, Georgetown 7-5, Mt. St. Mary's 7-6 and terminating
with a 6-4 win against Villanova to gain revenge for the defeat suf-
fered on the southern trip.
Providence College, always a nemesis to Boston College baseball
aspirations, snapped the victory string with a 7-6 win, and Fordham
administered the second straight loss, in New York, by the score of
6-4. The Eagles climbed back on the victory path, however, through
the medium of a 12-11 win over Springfield in as weird a contest as
had been seen at Alumni Field for some moons.
Games with Tufts and Dartmouth played as Commencement fea-
tures, followed, resulting in victories of 12-4 and 2-0 respectively. Jim
Donovan, pitching his last game for Boston College held the Indians
of Hanover to six hits. Hosei University from Japan was defeated
9-1, while Holy Cross won the annual series two games to one.
Junior
No southern trip was listed for the baseball nine during the spring
of 1932, and as later events turned out perhaps it was for the best.
Practice began at the Commonwealth Armory around the latter part
of March. It was up to McCrehan, starting his second season as varsity
coach, to find capable successors to Herman and Donovan, pitchers;
Colbert, catcher; Meehan, first-baseman and the outfield trio of
Temple, Reagan and Shea.
For his starting lineup in the opening game with Fordham, Mc-
Crehan selected Gallagher and Meier as the battery, infielders Kit-
tredge, Chesnulevich, Crowley and Spognardi, and outfielders Callery,
Lane and Ricci. Boston College finally emerged victorious by the
close count of 9-8, the Fordham nine coming fast in the final inning
to score four runs and almost tie up the ball game.
Following the Fordham clash came six fine victories in a row.

Springfield was the second victim, falling 11-5. Roy and Mclntyre
formed the battery in this game. Middlebury was defeated for the
third win, and then followed a close 2-1 decision over Syracuse with
Ed Gallagher allowing only four hits.
Boston University next fell before a savage Maroon and Gold on-
slaught 13-7, and when the strong N. Y. U. nine was taken over the
jumps 6-5, Boston College became baseball conscious.
The seventh straight win was hung up at the expense of none other
than Bill Erwin, who used to pitch on the Freshman team, but now
was on the mound for Mt. St. Mary's. Erwin was greeted like a long-
lost cousin with two runs in the first inning, another in the second and
still another in the fourth canto. In the meantime Roy was throwing
them by the gentlemen from the south with momentous regularity,
no less than fifteen taking their three swings and retiring to the bench
talking to themselves. The final score was 6-3. This was the highest
point reached by the 1932 Boston College baseball stock.
The following day, a cold drizzly Saturday, the baseball stock
became watered. Harvard Grads inflicted the first set-back of the
season 7-4. Then came a 4-1 win over Boston University with Jim
Powers on the mound, followed by a heart-breaking loss to Provi-
dence College 3-1, the visitors scoring all their runs in the ninth on a
homer by Reilly, the Dominicans' shortstop.
Still hitting about the size of their hat, the home boys dropped a
second straight decision, this time to Villanova, 4-2. Gallagher en-
joyed a two run lead until the seventh when the lads from the City of
Brotherly Love pushed across four runs and victory.
The team climbed back on the victory path, however, with two
fine wins over Middlebury 5-4 and Manhattan 11-3.
Boston College now had six games remaining on its schedule, one
each with Fordham, Providence and Tufts and the traditional three
game series with Holy Cross. They were crucial games, for all except
Tufts were in the running for the Eastern Championship as well as
Boston College. The results were disappointing, however, for the Tufts
contest was the only game entered on the win side of the ledger. Holy
Cross took three straight games, bringing to a close a season which
belied its successfvd beginning.
Senior
Under what were perhaps the most unfavorable conditions ever to
confront a Boston College baseball coach, Frank McCrehan started
the 1933 season. The late start made necessary by the uncertainty as
to whether the sport would be continued, the adverse weather, the
selection method of picking the candidates due to the restricted area
used for practice while the new diamond was being completed, all
cuh y
urn
m
tended to hamper the proper conditioning of the players. Yet before
the season was completed, the 193 3 nine had won the title of being
one of the most courageous ever to sport the colors of Maroon and
Gold.
The season opened on April 7 with the game against the Red Sox
at Fenway Park, Boston College losing 9-2. Then followed a rest of
three weeks due to the postponing of both the Fordham and Vermont
games, but McCrehan's charges broke out in all their pent-up fury
on April 28 and subdued Bates 10-1, in the first game to be played
on the new diamond. Mclntyre complained of a severe cold the next
day for Roy caused no less than 13 to fan the breezes. Roy's relief
pitching saved the Boston University game at Riverside on May 2.
He entered the contest in the fourth inning with the count 6-0
against him and blanked the Terriers for the remainder of the battle.
Boston College won 8-6.
The Alumni fell next 5-3. This is the history-making game in
which Joe McKenney came to bat against Bob Duffy and every man
on the team except the pitcher and catcher, not only literally, but
actually, laid down on the job. Duffy must have entertained thoughts
about striking Joe out, but the pride of the house of McKenney
thought otherwise. We need only to quote the now famous statement
to describe the incident. "The crack of the ball against bat was
heard and ten minutes later McKenney pulled up at first base, tired,
but happy."
William and Mary administered the first defeat by a college team
2-1. Bob Duffy for Boston College and Stankus, on the mound for
the Indians, allowed four hits apiece. Roy blanked Georgetown 7-0
allowing them only two hits and fanning 10. Harvard Grads then
gave the nine the worst beating to date, 11-3, but this was avenged
one week later with an 8-4 victory. Boston University was defeated
in the game at the Heights 8-0, with Roy granting one lone single
and striking out 12. This was the first of four successive wins, the
following three coming at the expense of Middlebury 5 to 2, Provi-
dence 3 to 2 and the aforementioned Harvard Grads 8 to 4. The
Providence victory put the boys in the money, for the Friars were in
line for Eastern baseball honors.
Starting with the New York trip on May 25 the nine experienced
the hardest going of the entire season. The team lost six of their next
seven games. The first defeat was at the hands of Manhattan in New
York 3 to 2. The N. Y. U. win was the sole victory of the trip, 11-9.
Fordham won 10 to 8 in another free hitting contest. Holy Cross
15 to 1, Providence 6 to 4, and New Hampshire 11 to 2. This last
defeat was the toughest of them all, because the lads from Durham
had experienced an unsuccessful season, and such a loss was entirely
unexpected. A 4 to 0 defeat at Providence was the last game of the
losing streak.
Here the team turned over a new leaf and finished the season in a
blaze of glory by not only taking the remaining four games, but by
finishing up the string with the most crushing defeat ever adminis-
tered to a Purple nine by a Boston College baseball team. The score
was 17 to 8. A thrilling 6 to 5 win in ten innings over Holy Cross
furnished the team with the necessary confidence, for from that game
on they broke out with a flock of base hits, the hke of which they
had not shown all season.
Jim Powers held the Tufts forces at bay in chalking up a 10 to 4
win. This game was played as a Commencement feature at the Med-
ford college. Mclntyre once again entertained the gathering with his
hitting, while Jim Crowley gave a few lessons in fielding.
The Williams contest' played on the 17th of June at WiUiamstown
resulted in a 6 to 1 win. The game went only five innings because
of rain, but the score does not tell the power of the Boston College
bats. In the sixth with the storm coming on, the visiting forces gath-
ered four additional runs, and were going strong when rain halted the
rally. Mclntyre hit a Ruthian wallop with the sacks loaded in this
inning but received no official credit for his effort.
The fitting climax to a season, which turned out to be more than a
passing success, was the final game with Holy Cross. The Purple
hurlers never had a chance from the second inning on, for a group
of two runs in the first inning and a cluster of seven in the following
session, put the game on ice. The Maroon and Gold batters walked
to the plate with fire in their eyes and few walked back without hav-
ing done their share to swell the total of runs and hits. Jim Crowley,
Chessy, Roy and Mclntyre all contributed to bring the first win in the
series since the spring of 1927.

TRACK
A Note From Our Coach
THE Boston College class of nineteen hundred
thirty-three will always be readily remem-
bered for two reasons.
The first reason is that by graduating the track
team lost more point winners than were ever lost
by previous graduations. It is a case of "read them
and weep": Phil Couhig, Bob Jordan, Ed Carey,
John Moynahan, John Carey, John Mulherin,
Maurice Whalen, John Kaveny, and our distance
stars, Ralph Ward and Frank Lang. Seventeen
points gone of the twenty-nine and one-half points
which won for Boston College the title of New
England Intercollegiate Champion.
The second reason has to do with the spirit, the
sportsmanship, ths loyalty displayed by Senior
members of the track team during the most dis-
couraging year, athletically, of this coach's tenure
of service. This engendered spirit, sportsmanship
and loyalty showed in the other members of the
track team. Depression, closed banks, all-round
pessimism might have decreed "There will be no
track this spring" but irrepressibles like Bob Jor-
dan, Frank Lang, Ralph Ward, Phil Couhig, John
Moynahan, Ed Carey and John Mulherin shouted
"Try to stop track."
Yes, the Boston College class of nineteen hun-
dred thirty-three will, in the future, be easily
identified.

THE Freshman team of 1929 presented among its candidates a
group which was to print its name deep in Boston College track
history. It included Bob Jordan, Don Fleet, Paul Dailey, John Moyna-
han, Phil Couhig, Ed Carey, John Kaveny, Bill Mulherin, Frank Lang,
Ralph Ward, Maurice Whelan and Joe King. Others on the hst were
John Hayes and Leo McCauley both of whom left school, the former
to go to Harvard, while little Leo was to show up a few years later
under the colors of St. John's Prep in Danvers.
The Brockton Fair Meet was the first real taste of competition for
the first year men. Hayes captured the 100 yd. dash in the remark-
ably good time of 10 2-5 sees. Ralph Ward led the field in the mile,
while Don Fleet, who had devoted most of his time to football,
managed to place third in the 440.
In the interclass meet the Freshmen lads ran off with the prize,
running up 56 points to 45 for the Sophomores, their nearest rival.
Jordan captured the 880, Ward, the mile and Hayes, both the high and
low hurdles. Couhig placed first in the shot with Buddy Roy second,
and Bill Mulherin won his specialty, soaring to a height of 1 1 feet
1 inch. Don Fleet, who later was to gain fame as a runner, took the
high jump with a leap of 5 feet 6 inches. Kaveny placed second.
The Eaglets opened their indoor season successfully at the Prout
games, when the one-mile relay team of McCauley, Jordan, King and
Fleet defeated the B. U. and M. I. T. Freshmen runners. Fleet, running
anchor, boasted a half-lap lead at the finish. At this point in the
campaign Leo McCauley was elected Captain.
The best meet of the season was with Holy Cross Freshmen. The
result was in doubt until the very last event as the final score of 65-61
in favor of Boston College, will show. John Kaveny won the high
jump with the fine leap of 6 feet 1 inch, while 5 feet 6 inches was
sufficient to win this event in the varsity meet a few days before. This
was the best jump that Kaveny made during his college career, and
it tied the Boston College record held by C. Flahive made in 1924.
Sophomore
The opening salvo of the 1930 campaign was the track meet at
Gloucester, Fleet's home town, sponsored by the Riverside Club. Be-
fore a partisan gathering, the local boy made good in a big way by
romping to victory in the 440, his first win as a member of the
varsity.
In the Prout games, the opening meet of the indoor season, the

one-mile relay unit of Carey, Sullivan, King and Fleet defeated Dart-
mouth. Fleet ran a fine 440 in cutting down a five yard advantage
of Andrews, the Green anchor man, and finished in front by about
eight yards. The two-mile team of Jordan, O'Brien, Meagher and Bren
Moynahan won over New Hampshire, Northeastern, Holy Cross and
Harvard. The remarkable showing of Tommy Meagher was respon-
sible for this win.
At the B. A. A. meet the two-mile team suffered its sole defeat of
the season, losing to the Bates College representatives with Russ Chap-
man running for the Pine-Tree-Staters. After the Unicorn games,
Ryder disbanded the one-mile team, which had now suffered two
straight losses, the first to Manhattan at the Millrose games, and the
second at the Unicorn games to Holy Cross.
Fleet was th^n promoted to the two-mile team, and the quartet of
O'Brien, Meagher, Fleet and Moynahan won the 1931 indoor inter-
collegiate two-mile relay championship of America. It was the fourth
win for Boston College in nine years, a clear indication of the genius
of Ryder in developing two milers. Fleet ran the fastest of the quar-
tet. His time was 1:53 2-5.
Junior
Junior year was one of the most successful in Boston College track.
The season started with the Harvard cross-country run along the
Charles. Boston College finished in fourth position. The indoor season
began auspiciously with the Prout gar s at the Garden. The two-mile
quartet of Don Fleet, Paul Dailey, Lvo Jordan and Brendan Moyna-
han ran to victory over N. Y. U., Harvard, Holy Cross and New
Hampshire in 7:5 8 2-5. The one mile team of Ed Carey, Johnny Mc-
Manus, Bill Parks and Dana Smith kept up the good work with a win
over the fast Tech unit.
The following week-end the medley quartet of Carey, Parks, Smith
and Moynahan dropped down to New York to participate in the Mill-
rose games. Handicapped by the loss of Don Fleet, who a week or two
previously had been confined to his home with a severe case of tonsil-
itis, the Maroon and Gold representatives were forced to bow in de-
feat to the fast N. Y. U. team.
At the Prout games the one-mile relay team of Parks, Carey, Smith
and McManus also suffered defeat, losing to the strong Purple quartet
that with McCafferty as anchor, ran the distance in the excellent
time of 3:25 2-5.
The New England Intercollegiates sponsored by the University Club
was next on the list. Boston College finished in fourth place with a
total of 14 points. Paul Dailey finished second in the 1000 yard run
while Frank Lang took second in the two-mile after leading for the
greater portion of the race. Bob Jordan also grabbed himself a fifth
in the 1000 yd. run.
One of the finest wins of the year, and the one which unfortunately
showed that Don Fleet had not recovered from his illness, came next
in the two-mile relay event at the Casey meet at Madison Square Gar-
den. Jordan and Dailey ran their usual fine race, but Fleet in third
place showed his poorest form of the season, sending Moynahan away
on the final lap ten yards behind Nordell of N. Y. U. Moynahan ran
his half in 1:56 3-5 that night, and barely nosed out the New Yorker
at the tape to furnish one of the most exciting races of the indoor
season.
The following week the lads from Boston College and N. Y. U.
came together again in the I.C.4A. indoor meet at the 2 5 8th Armory
in New York. This time it was the Eagles turn to lose, Nordell break-
ing the tape slightly ahead of Moynahan, who had come from behind
almost to nip the N. Y. U. star at the finish line.
Though unsuccessful in their bid for the indoor title, the two-mile
relay quartet was to win the Penn Relays at Franklin Field a month
later. Reahzing that Don Fleet would not be available for further
competition, Ryder recruited Dana Smith from the one-mile team,
and with the strong nucleus of Dailey, Jordan and Moynahan around
which to build, gave Boston College one of the strongest teams in its
history.
By their win the two miler,= added to the victories gained by the
relayers of 1924 and 1927, ant or winning three years, Boston Col-
lege retired the Meadowbrook Cup, emblematic of the two-mile relay
championship of America. They also took possession of the WiUiam
Wallace trophy for a year.
Continuing on the victory path, the runners won the third annual
Greater Boston Intercollegiates at the Harvard Stadium with a point
total of 735/2 to 68 for Northeastern who finished in second place.
Dual meets were dropped to both West Point and Holy Cross but the
season ended in a blaze of glory with the winning of the New Eng-
land Intercollegiate championship at Providence.
Senior
The Harvard cross-country run along the Charles started the 1932-
33 season. Boston College did not fare as well as in previous years,
since Frank Lang, the first Maroon and Gold representative to cross
the finish line could do no better than third. Ralph Ward had to be
content with ninth position, while John Moynahan, Jim Cullinan and
Captain Bob Jordan were' spread out behind the blonde Eagle two-
miler.

Couhig
In the interclass meet the Seniors once again finished in front,
though Bill Hayes of Junior was high scorer of the meet with 17
points. For this achievement he was presented with the Louis J. Gal-
lagher, S.J. trophy. Phil Couhig gathered himself 1 5 points with wins
in the shotput, discus and javelin to be next in line for individual
honors.
The Prout games held at the Boston Garden on January 28 were
the initial meet of the indoor season. The two-mile relay team of
Eaton, Smith, Moynahan and Jordan started off on the right foot
with a win over Harvard and Villanova. The one-mile team of Mc-
Manus, Joyce, Carey and Parks also turned in a victory defeating the
University of New Hampshire in 3:32 3-5 seconds.
The 3 00-meter run for the N.E.A.A.A.U. Championship was
won by no less a personage than John Carey. Not considered fast
enough for the one-mile relay team, this Quincy lad dashed into the
lead from the opening gun and was never headed. He finished with
a three-yard advantage over Hanson of the B. A. A.
At the Millrose meet the 2000 meter medley team came from be-
hind to take the measure of N. Y. U. Jordan overhauled Frank
Nordell, the New York ace, on the last lap and won going away by a
good twelve yards. The time was 4:31 3-5 seconds.
The B. A. A. games at the Garden saw the two-mile relay team win
another fine race, this time finishing ahead of Harvard and Bates.
Dailey, Smith, Moynahan and Jordan were the winning combination
with Moynahan the key man in the victory.
The University Club meet at the Garden brought out some fine
running, especially in the one-mile event in which Quimby of Dart-
mouth came from behind in the last ten yards to nose out John
Moynahan by inches. So close were the two runners at the finish line
that the officials debated quite a time before awarding the prize to the
Green star. The one-mile relay team of Parks, Eaton, Carey and Smith
defeated New Hampshire and Maine in 3:30 2-5 seconds, while John
McManus placed third in the 5 0 yard dash behind Bell of Tech and
Wheeler of Springfield. In the pole vault Mulherin tied for second
with four others, Schumann of Harvard jumping to a height of 12
feet 6 inches to win the event.
The I.C.4A. meet in New York brought the first defeat of the
season to the two mile team. Boston College ran the distance in
approximately 7:51, but this gained only fourth position, for the
Princeton relay team dashed around the same distance in 7:46.2 sec-
onds, the fastest time ever made in the I.C.4A.'s with the exception of
the record mark of 7:41 set by Georgetown in 192 5.
The indoor season came to a close with the New York Casey meet.
the two-milers placing second to Manhattan who won by ten yards.
A rest of over a month followed giving the tracksters plenty of
time in which to prepare for their outdoor season. The first oppo-
nent was Bowdoin at Brunswick on April 22, the dual meet resulting
in a win of 78^4 to 56%. Jordan, Lang, Mulherin and Couhig were
the first place winners, the latter taking no less than two for himself,
those of the shot and discus, and sharing a third with Nelson of
Bowdoin in the javelin throw. In winning the shot, Couhig broke the
Maine intercollegiate record by over a foot, with a heave of 48 feet
1 % inches.
A week later Boston College defended its Greater Boston Inter-
collegiate title, but not successfully as Harvard piled up a high point
total of 136 to 43 2-3 for the Maroon and Gold in second place. The
only first place winners were Holland in the 120 high hurdles and
McManus in the 100 yard dash, but Lang, Parks, Couhig, John Carey
and Mulherin all managed to contribute to the Boston College point
total.
The annual dual meet with the Army re-
sulted in a 76 to 50 setback, mainly because
of lack of strength in the hurdles and sup-
porting strength in the field events. The re-
maining dual meets with Holy Cross and New
Hampshire were split, the Purple, a pre-meet
underdog, winning 72 to 63 while the boys
from the White Mountain State were taken
into camp 73 to 62. The winning of the New
England title at Tech field brought to a conclu-
sion a successful season.

HOCKEY
^^You Have Laid tte
Foundation''
THE CLASS of 1933 can rest assured that they
will go down in the annals of Boston College
athletic history as an outstanding group. They
need only look back to the winter of 1932-3 3
when they restored hockey to the Heights after an
absence of four years.
These "Pioneers," as I would like to term them,
and those intimately connected with the squad,
know the sacrifice both in time and effort that it
cost in placing a hockey team on the ice. But after
it was over we felt that we had accomplished
something worthwhile.
You of the class of 193 3 have laid the founda-
tion for hockey once more. It is up to those who
are to follow to see that this sport does not again
leave the Heights.
It has indeed been a pleasure to work with such
a fine group of fellows, not only with the mem-
bers of your class but with the hockey squad as a
whole. But to the class of 1933 I wish to say that
as they have been leaders in this particular case so,
too, must they try to be leaders in their chosen line
of endeavor. I wish them the greatest of success
in the years to come.
With very best regards,
JOHN A. KELLEY,
Varsity Hockey Coach.

Restoration
AFTER four long winters of athletic inactivity at the Heights
broken only by Jack Ryder's "snowplowers" practicing on the
board track, and a few unsuccessful attempts to inaugurate intra-
mural hockey, the class of 1933, under the guidance of President Bill
Hogan, restored the colors of Maroon and Gold to the iced arena.
The first practice was held at the Boston Arena on the morning of
Friday January 13, at 7:45, an indication that these lads were not
to be troubled by black cats or moons seen over left shoulders.
Fully 8 5 candidates reported to Head Coach John "Snooks" Kelley,
'28, but by a due process of elimination this unwieldy number was
reduced to 18 in the next few practice sessions.
With two weeks of practicing behind them, the newly organized
Maroon and Gold sextet skated onto the ice Saturday evening, January
28, against Northeastern. Bill Hogan was elected captain before the
game. The starting hneup was as follows: Left wing, Liddell; center,
Hogan; right wing, Crimlisk; defense, Funchion and Blake; goal,
Sullivan. The Eagles started after the Huskies from the beginning and
it was little short of the five minute mark when Ray Funchion
scored the first Maroon and Gold goal since the winter of 1928-29.
Before the evening was over, Funchion had rung up four goals and
one assist, and was easily the oustanding star of the contest. Crimhsk
was next in line with two goals, while Liddell tallied once on
Funchion's pass, and Cadigan on an assist from Gleason. Hogan figured
in one of Funchion's tallies. The final count was 8-6 in favor of the
Eagles.
Technology furnished the opposition in the second game, and when
the contest was over, Boston College was still on the victory path by
the close count of 2-1. Captain Bill Hogan tallied both goals for the
Maroon and Gold, one on an assist from Bert Gleason, and the second
on a personally conducted tour. Jenkins scored for Tech halfway
through the final session.
With two wins tucked away in the trophy room, the Eagles went
forth to tackle the Boston University sextet in the feature athletic
event of Junior Week. The largest crowd to witness an amateur
hockey game in Boston that winter, 4,200, was present when referee
Vin Murphy dropped the disc for the opening f aceoff .
Exactly two and one-half minutes after the opening of the period,
Boston College hockey stock was at its highest level for the season.
Taking a pass from Crimlisk, Hogan drove the puck past the bewil-
dered Nickerson in the B. U. cage for the first tally of the contest.
How the crowd did roar! Staid old spinsters slapped equally digni-

fied elderly gentlemen on the back with newspapers, the usually calm
John Lynch turned a few hand springs for the edification of the fourth
estate, while "tiny" Phil Couhig, overcome with the excitement of
the moment, promised right then and there to appear in basketball
trunks and athletic jersey in the game between the Seniors and Juniors
following the regular contest. And this promise, if we are to judge
by the figure that Phil cut on the ice with such a garb, was one which
required plenty of nerve and was made only under great strain and
duress.
Such a state of excitement, my dear friends, prevailed for the
greater portion of the period for the underdog Eagle was giving the
highly touted Terrier all he could stand and plenty more. However,
the strain finally told on the not-as-well conditioned Maroon and Gold
skaters, and with three minutes to play in the initial canto, Johnny
Lax pushed the equalizer past Greg Sullivan. The teams left the ice
deadlocked 1-1.
For eight minutes of the second period it was still anybody's game,
and then Boston University broke the tie during a scrimmage around
the Maroon and Gold net. With one minute remaining to play in the
period, the Intowners went still farther ahead on a brilliant dash by
Lax.
Boston College made a great bid to tie up the contest in the final
session but the superior condition of the Terriers was evident, and
two more goals, one by Dan Harrington and the final by Chief Bender,
made the count 5-1 and settled the game beyond all shadow of a
doubt.
The only away-from-home contest was played with Brown Uni-
versity in Providence on February 20, the game ending in a 3-3 tie.
The fifth game was played with the Alumni on March 6 at the
Arena. Led by varsity coach John "Snooks" Kelley, the "old boys"
made quite a battle of it until, in the final period, they gave way
before the faster skating and superior stick handling of the youngsters.
Scoring opened rapidly with Crimlisk and Cadigan sinking the losen-
ger for the varsity, but Scully narrowed the margin with a tally
halfway through the session. In the second period McCarthy and
Crimlisk again found the range, but the grads kept the ratio the
same with Kelley 's goal.
The grads barely made the ice for the start of the final period,
Jope)' Shea, he of the sparsely growing thatch, being carried to the
gate in a wheel-chair, while Doctor Groden was deposited bodily on the
ice by his well-wishers from Cambridge. The varsity added three more
tallies in this period, the goals being made by Cadigan, Funchion and
Liddell, while Fitzgerald and Kelley counted for the fast-weakening
Alumni.
364
The feature of the contest was Kelley's fine work against his own
charges, and goalie Mike Dee's valiant but futile effort to recover
his cap after a goal had been scored by the varsity. Smoky Kelleher
stole the headpiece and play had to be stopped until it was recovered,
because the light reflecting from Dee's bald spot was disturbing both
to players and spectators alike.
The sixth and final game of the season was a return engagement
with Boston University. Once again the Terrier's teeth were too
sharp, Boston College being beaten 7 to 2. Johnny Lax caged the first
four of the Intowners' goals and assisted in a fifth, to wind up a
very successful season. McCarthy scored on a pass from Cadigan, and
Hogan from Liddell, for the only Maroon and Gold tallies. The season
ended with three wins, two losses and one tie.
The Seniors on the squad figured prominently during the season. Bill
Hogan, captain and center ice man played an aggressive game all
during the year, finishing high in the scoring column. The second line
made up entirely of seniors, Justin McCarthy on left wing, Larry
Cadigan at center and Bert Gleason on right wing, played a good game
all year, but particularly toward the end of the season, when they
tallied four goals in the last two contests. Chris Conway and Chuck
Conaty also saw service, while Owen Mullaney the only Senior defense
man on the squad, needed only to get his 190 pounds in front of any
embryo goal scorer and he immediately hit the ice. Walter Kiley,
who originally started as a forward, was shifted to defense because of
his weight and he, too, checked them in his best manner. In the nets
excellent work was done by Doug MacDonald and Bill Dunne.
In conclusion, the squad as a whole wants to express their thanks to
John P. Curley and the authorities at the College for their whole-
hearted support in backing the hockey team at a time when it would
have been possible to do otherwise; to George V. Brown of the Boston
Arena through whose cooperation the team was able to carry out its
schedule and lastly, to John "Snooks" Kelley, who gave unselfishly
of his time and effort in coaching the sextet.

Golf Year
THE Freshman team of the 193 0 season had in its ranks Buddy Roy, Mark Troy,
Larry Cadigan, Dan Guerin, George Love, Chuck Conaty and Jim Moriarty.
Matches were played with Andover, Exeter, Thayer, St. John's Prep and Dartmouth
Freshmen.
Only three of that group continued with the sport. Roy turned his attention to strik-
ing out opposing batters; Love took up tennis, while Moriarty and Guerin lost active
interest in the game. Troy continued playing for the next three years, and was rewarded
with the honor of captain in his final year. Cadigan played occasionally and became
manager, while Conaty dropped away for two years, only to come back in the final
season.
At the beginning of the year it was necessary to recruit an almost entirely new team,
five veterans having received their sheepskins the June before. There is not much to tell
about the 193 3 golf season athletically, but socially it was a howling success.
The first event of importance was the annual southern trip which began on Wednes-
day, April 12, when school closed for the Easter vacation. Included in the party were
Captain Troy, Manager Cadigan, Ed Kennedy, Roger Walsh and John Gramzow, the
last named the chauffer of the expedition. The first stop was made in Newark that
night and the second in Baltimore on Thursday night. Troy insisted on staying in and
catching up on lost sleep, but the rest of the boys couldn't see it that way, and they
finally convinced him to go out to a movie. Yea! Friday night the expedition reached
Williamsburg, Va., where the first match was played, on the following day, with Wil-
liam and Mary College.
Easter Sunday dawned cold and rainy making the trip across state to Lexington any-
thing but pleasant. Monday a match was played with Washington and Lee University;
Wednesday, with University of Richmond; and Friday, with Catholic University at
Washington. The boys must have had enough of the south, for that afternoon they left
immediately for Boston, and did not stop driving until Saturday morning, when they
once again enjoyed some home cooking. Not that they didn't eat on the trip. Down
south they gobbled up everything in sight, so that Larry Cadigan, the only member of
the intinerants who ate with anything approaching moderation, was forced to apologize
continually for the unseemly conduct of his companions.
Once back on native soil, the niblic wielders met Providence, Brown, and entertained
Amherst, in which Troy beat Capt. Macoy of the visitors, 1 up. In the Brown match
Ed Kennedy astounded the gallery with his brilliant iron play. Tufts College furnished
the opposition on May 12, and then came a hurried trip to Hanover, where Chuck
Conaty was forced to play two men. He acquitted himself nobly, however.
The Holy Cross match at Bellevue ended the season. Roger Walsh was high scorer
for the year.

Tennis Season
ANOTHER traveling sport unit at the Heights was the tennis team. Led by Captain
John Keiran and Manager George Love the "racketeers" headed south in two
groups, the first of Keiran and Love, Walter Lyons and Montgomery Rhynne leaving on
Wednesday April 12 at the beginning of the Easter vacation. Investigation later re-
vealed that no matches had been scheduled until the following Monday, but that the
early start had been made because of numerous social engagements. The second group
of John Carr, Joe Corcoran, Mike Donelin and Herb Kenny left later in time to be on
the scene for the first scheduled match.
The first opponent was Western Maryland, but the boys were kept off the courts by
a sweeping rain storm which made play impossible. Past records have shown that the
Boston College tennis team need only depart for the land of sunshine on their annual
trip, and Jupe Pluvius plays the part of the congenial, if somewhat wet, host.
The lads finally swung into action on Tuesday in Williamsburg, Va., with William
and Mary as the opponent. Rhynne captured the only match for the visitors, lack of
practice being evident in the play of the Bostonese. Rain once again welcomed them in
Durham, N. C, where the scheduled match with Duke was cancelled, but at Baltimore
the sun and good fortune favored the itinerants long enough for them to eke out a close
5-4 win over Loyola. Keiran won his match in easy fashion and then teamed with
Walter Lyons to emerge victorious in the doubles, while John Carr, unsuccessful in the
singles, formed a doubles comibination with Rhynne that decided the match in favor
of the visitors. For a number of years, now, this Baltimore college has been defeated,
they sometimes being the sole entry in the win column during the southern trip, and the
racket-wielders have no intention of dropping this opponent. Wise boys.
On the return to home soil, matches were lost to Brown, B. U., Tech and Springfield
but these were balanced by wins over Northeastern, Conn. State, Bridgewater State
Normal, Worcester Tech and Assumption College. The Providence and Holy Cross
matches were rained out.
Captain Keiran and John Carr were the two Senior members of the squad, both hav-
ing been members of the varsity since their Sophomore year. Mike Donelin also played
occasionally. These three were aided no little by Walter Lyons, Herb Kenny, Joe Cor-
coran, E. Montgomery Rhynne and Frank Liddell who formed the strong nucleus for
a team the following season.

Fencine: Year
IF the Boston College fencing team had been making a tour of Europe, and in the
course of their journey through France had incurred the wrath of a group of French
nobles so that they were challenged to a duel, we shudder to think of the probable out-
come. It is almost a certainty that five or six Boston College lads would never see that
beloved institution of learning again. For their ability to tag the other fellow first was
more or less of a minus quantity, and after all, this is the primary requisite if one would
win fencing matches.
We hasten to mention at this point that even the "great" Kenneth Kelley, famous
orator and speech-making manager of this aggregation, noted for his ability in talking
opposing managers into giving his charges $100 guarantees for their appearances, was
at a loss when it came to aiding in the matches. The story is told about Kelley's attempt
to distract one opponent by a long line of polysyllabic words, but he gave it up when
he saw that his efforts had no effect. It was later shown that the youth was deaf and
dumb.
The leader and outstanding man on the team was Herb Kenny who was re-elected
captain for the next season. His aides, John Sheehan, Allan McBride, Bill McDonald,
and Frank Lambert were more or less unskilled in the art of fencing, but since they
were mostly Juniors, they were much better the following season with a whole year's
experience behind them. Henry Fitzgerald was the only Senior of the team, and though
his loss was felt, the most promising group of Freshmen since the introduction of the
sport was on hand to take his place and bid fair to give Boston College a fine team.

IN 193 3 the Boston College rifle team enjoyed one of the most successful seasons since
its inauguration. No less than twenty-one telegraphic matches were held at the in-
door range in the science building, and one shoulder-to-shoulder match with A Com-
pany 101st Division of the National Guard. Two outdoor matches were held with
Harvard University at their range in Woburn.
Due to the fact that practically all the teams fired against were members of the
R.O.T.C., the rifle team made a very creditable showing, winning a good average of
their matches, and completing the season with a decisive victory over Holy Cross.
Paul Shine of Junior was leader of the "gunners." He did a fine job in making a
good unit out of practically all new men. Frank Lambert also of Junior was manager,
and was awarded the captaincy for the next season.
Bob Jordan, track captain, found time, after his track duties were over, to practice
at the range, to the extent that he was awarded the title of the outstanding member of
the team. He was first place man in several matches.
Charles Ryan of Senior, a letter-man on the first rifle team at Boston College, re-
turned to the Heights from California, the land from which folks are supposed never
to return, and aided no little in coaching the team as well as in helping to win several
matches.

DURING the term of 1932-33 the Student Council placed itself in its rightful
position in student government. Acting under the direction of its president, John
Keiran, and with the co-operation of the dean's office, the body revised its constitution
and revamped its membership so that it was finally a representative body. Only the
larger or more active undergraduate societies were permitted membership. This meant
the dropping of representatives of several of the organizations, but it made for a more
active body. The group became far less unwieldy, and able to act more swiftly and
decisively. Results of the change proved gratifying.
As was the custom, the council conducted the formal welcome of the school to the
incoming class. The year's Freshman Day was held just before the Thanksgiving Holi-
days and included elections, Freshman sports, a dinner, entertainment and a smoker.
The banner of the class of 'thirty-six was presented to the incoming president, John
Maguire. The Chairman of the Day, acting for the Council, was James M. Connolly,
President of the Fulton, who was assisted by Joseph Brennan, Peter Chesnulevich,
Mathias O'Malley and John Moynahan.
Following the precedent established the year before, two outstanding Seniors were
chosen honorary members of the council. They were George F. Lawlor, Manager of
Track, and Francis T. Maguire, Editor of the Sub Turri.

THE class of 'thirty-three takes particular pride in the part it played in reorganizing
the Senior- Junior Sodality, for it was in our Senior year that the initial steps
toward this re-establishment took place.
The moderator was Rev. Francis J. Coyne, S.J., who proved to be an excellent direc-
tor, and one who worked unceasingly in the interests of the project. Robert F. Riley and
Charles F. Donovan, the student officers, labored constantly and successfully in their
effort to make this one of the most active of extra-curricular activities.
Throughout the year weekly meetings were held, and at each one a sermon on the
Mass was given. Thus from meeting to meeting the progress of the Mass was followed,
and regardless of what any of us may have thought he knew about this subject, all
benefited greatly from these lectures. The talks, besides having great intellectual and
moral value individually, unified the year's work.
The crowning point of the Sodality's activities came on May 15th, when the recep-
tion was held in the College chapel. At this time one hundred and twenty-five mem-
bers were formally received into the Sodality of Mary. Mass was celebrated by the
Reverend Moderator. The sermon was given by Rev. Leonard Feeney, S.J., noted author
and lecturer, after which Rev. Louis J. Gallagher, S.J., President of the College, awarded
displomas, officially receiving the members into the body. Sodality Office Books were
given to all.

SUCCESS WITH CHIVALRY
THE record of the men of our class in the Fulton may -well be one of the happiest
of collegiate memories for the class, the society, and the men -wrho participated in
the intercollegiate meetings. That record of thirteen intercollegiate and fwelve lecture
debates is also earnest evidence of the untiring work of the moderators, Mr. Ernest
Foley, S.J., and Mr. Austin Devenny, S.J.
The first debate of the season was with Oxford University. James M. Connolly, then
president of the society, and Charles F. Donovan, later president, represented the Fulton.
In a discussion of the international war debt situation Boston College was returned
victorious by a unanimous decision. The "War Debt question, being of prime interest,
was adopted as the usual subject of debate. In fact, Charles W. O'Brien discussed this
question in four intercollegiate contests and in two lecture debates. He and his col-
leagues argued it successfully against St. Thomas' College, New Hampshire, Dayton
and Providence.
After the one with Oxford, the next major debate was with Fordham. Charles
Donovan, James Connolly and Robert Glennon journeyed to New York and defeated
Fordham in a discussion of the International Munitions question. After their victory
the trio proceeded to the College of New Rochelle. Royally received, they met the sad
and sole defeat of the season at the hands of three young ladies of that college who
were more than excellent speakers. The subject of the debate was supposed to be the
emergence of women from the home. The Fulton proved that chivalry is not dead.
Returning to Boston, Donovan, Connolly and Glennon met and defeated the rep-
resentatives of Harvard College before a distinguished audience. Three of the justices
of the Massachusetts Superior Court acted as the board of judges.
The other intercollegiate debates were with Florida, Maine, Bucknell, Pennsylvania
State and Bates.
In the annual Fulton Prize debate Charles W. O'Brien was adjudged the best
speaker of the evening and was awarded the Fulton Medal.
The closing ceremony of the year took place at the annual banquet at the Philo-
matheia Chalet. Charms were awarded to those Seniors who had participated in inter-
collegiate contests.

THE 1932-33 season of the Marquette Debating Society under the direction of Mr.
William F. Finneran, S.J., was one of activity and progress. The society engaged
in three intercollegiate debates, one with Bates on the subject of war debts in which
there was no decision, one with Georgetown on the Muscle Shoals project and a final
debate with Keene Normal School on the Manchurian question. In the latter two
debates the Marquette was unsuccessful.
For the second consecutive year a Freshman was awarded the Gargan Medal, the
winner being Mark Dalton, '36. Others participating were Raymond Belliveau, Law-
rence Riley, John J. Murphy, John G. Fallon and Donald Floyd.

HISTORY was being made in 1932-3 3 right under the patrician noses of the
members of the Musical Clubs, and fortunate certainly were they who belonged
to this body at the time. Under the active and far-seeing direction of Rev. Leo J.
Gilleran, S.J., the faculty adviser, and of Mr. James Ecker, the director, this organiza-
tion reached one of the highest peaks of attainment in its history. And this improve-
ment has still gone on.
In the fall the Band — whose members merit much praise — had a successful year.
Then in February the Glee Club and Orchestra began the season with a concert in
Lowell, which was followed two days later by one in the New Bedford Hotel of that
city. Several other concerts were given, including those at Weston, Newton, Water-
town and Whitman.
The joint concert given in conjunction with the Musical Clubs of Holy Cross
College, an annual affair and usually one of the highest points of the year's work, was
held in Jordan Hall on April 30th, 1933. Opening with Gericke's "Chorus of Homage,"
the combined glee clubs then sang Blockx' "Serenade de Milenka." After a number
of selections had been given by the individual groups and by soloists, the Glee Clubs again
joined voices for Gibbs' "Song of Progress." The evening was brought to an end with
the singing of the college songs.

i i C^ MALLEST and most exclusive organization in the school," its secretary has
N-' called the Press Club, and there is none of us able to deny it. Made up of those
students who write up Boston College affairs in the various Boston dailies, its members
are faced with the difficult problem of getting the news without stepping on any
administrative toes. They report major and minor sports events, the activities of the
many societies, talks given by members of the faculty, and all these matters must be
handled in such a way as to extract material of news value while keeping in mind the
nature of just what the authorities want released. If Fr. So-and-So's lecture for the
Philomatheia Club is released an hour too soon, the speech is useless, if an hour too late,
it is no longer newsworthy. John X. delicately suggests that he would like to get his
picture in the paper, and must be just as delicately refused. Far from being the hard-
boiled quidnunc of popular belief, each newspaperman had to be at the same time a
saint, sceptic, diplomat and smoother of ruffled feathers.
In 1932-33 the success the members had in living up to the requirements of their
work was unusually successful. And they wrote fully, skillfully, about the doings of
their college-mates, not about themselves.

ONCE again the Business Club proved itself to be one of the most progressive and
profitable extra-curricular organizations at the College. Under the leadership of
its dynamic president. Ken Kelley, the club had a very active and successful season. As
was the custom in previous years, leading economists, financiers and pub'ic officials
addressed the group, indicating the opportunities for the college man in their fields.
Large audiences attended the meetings and there was a jovial and festive air about
the staid old Fulton Room when the Business Club met there and solved most of the
problems of industry and finance.
Frank Desmond, the secretary, gave generously of his time and eiforts for the good
of the organization, and he was greatly responsible for bringing in a number of the
lecturers. The speakers and talks presented during the season were:
Congressman Joseph F. O'Connell, '93 — "Your Priceless Heritage;" Mr. Magruder
C. Maury — "The Field of Journalism;" Mr. Arthur L. Norton — "Hotel Management;"
Dr. Francis E. McCarthy — "The Medical Profession;" Mr. Charles J. Fox — "Our
Municipal Finances;" Hon. Frederick W. Mansfield — "Laws and Lawyers;" Mr. Charles
G. Birmingham — "Retail Store Management;" Mr. William H. O'Brien — "Forty-Three
Years of Public Life;" Mr. Edward B. Donlan — "Technocracy;" and District Attorney
William J. Foley — "Crime, Its Causes and Consequences."

A GATHERING hush in the auditorium — a frantic whisper backstage, "Lights.
Lights! Lights!" — cold perspiration penetrating grease-paint on faces all but
hideous at close-range — such was the meat and drink of members of one of our oldest
and most important organizations, the Dramatic Society.
The presentation of Captain Applejack was the chief work of the society in 1932-33,
and considering the difficulty in giving a play re-written for an all-male cast, it was
eminently successful. Besides the work of members of our class touched upon on the
following page, mention should be made here of the commendable playing of those in
other classes. Charles Daly, Arthur Sullivan, Raymond Belliveau, Louis Mercier, Edward
Merrick, all Bad Guys, were excellent. Plans were also made for the Spring production
of a Shakespearean play, but since Dick Whiftington was given by the class of 1934,
presentation of a third play was deemed inadvisable. Dick Whiftington, though not a
Dramatic Club project, gained much from the active support of members of the society.
Un-applauded but invaluable to the club was the work of Mr. James A. Walsh, S.J.,
and Mr. Joseph P. Shanahan, S.J., moderators, and of John Curley and John Hanrahan,
harassed Business Manager and Stage Manager respectively.

SYNOPSIS
ACT I
Library of the Allison Home, Cornwall, England. Time — an evening in winter.
"T am going out into the world ... to seek adventure, romance. ... All my life I've lived in back-
water. Romance has passed me by. I've only read of it in books. . . . You can always find it — anywhere —
except at home."
ACT II
Cabin of Pirate Ship "Bonheur." Time — three hours later.
"When he is dead I shall be Captain and you shall be mate. . . . There will be diamonds, rubies, pearls
— jewels without number in his treasure. ... I only await the moment when I may fall upon him
unawares."
ACT III
Library of the Allison Home. Time — five minutes later.
"You have come in the nick of time. . . . The coast-guard patrol went by here at 10 o'clock this
evening, that means they will be back within fifteen minutes. . . . With luck you may meet them. . . .
Good luck!"
On Monday and Tuesday evenings, December 19th and 20th, 1932, the Dramatic
Society presented Walter Hacket's Captain Applejack at the Repertory Theatre. If the
play had become a trifle dated, color, and certainly life, were furnished by the skillful
playing of the cast.
As the bored barrister, Maurice Allison, and later as the swashbuckling Captain
Applejack, Frank Mulligan was at his vigorous best. Care, precision, sweeping vitality,
marked the interpretation of his role. Leo Flynn as Frank Fulton and John Hanrahan
as the ever-solicitous Harold were excellent, as always, but the nature of their roles
made it impossible for the former to top his brilliant work in Beau Bninnnel and Othello,
or for the latter to compete with his hilarious Bunthorp in Dick Whittington. As the
eccentric Uncle Jasper, Joseph Brennan for at least the third time cleverly donned the
rheumatics of an old man, while Ken Kelley in his perennial part of a butler was
superb. Anything but negligible were: (1) the get-ups of Ralph Ward and Frank
Maguire, pirates, (2) the famous threat in one performance of being caught "like a
trap in a rat."

IN 1932-33 the French Academy once again added to its progressive record of achieve-
ment and presented a private and public program worthy of the highest commenda-
tion. And again the society's attainments redounded to the eminent credit of its
moderator, Rev. Paul de Mangeleere, S.J., without whose familiar presence the society
would have seemed very strange. The president of the group, Marcus Lewis, who con-
ducted his office with enthusiasm and endeavor, deserved great praise.
During the year members of the academy presented several lectures. Among them
were "L'Academie Francaise from Richelieu to the Present," "Three French Women of
Literary Note, Mme. de Maintenon, Mme. de la Fayette and Mme. de Sevigne," and
"Three Theologians of France, Fenelon, Bossuet and Bourdaloue." John Hanrahan pre-
sented an interesting talk on Mont-St. -Michel which he had visited the previous summer.
The outstanding feature of the year was the French Debate presented at the Philo-
matheia Club before a large audience distinguished by the presence of His Eminence,
William Cardinal O'Connell of the class of 1881. The discussion centered on the
feasibility of a dictatorship in the United States. The negative with Gabriel Ryan and
Leo Leveille was victorious over the affirmative with Irvin Brogan and Clarence Boucher.
The annual Spring declamation of the academy, with the leading members partici-
pating, closed the season.

ONLY ten per cent of the students at the College select Spanish for their modern
language course, and yet the Spanish Academy in 1932-3 3 proved to be one of
the most interesting of all extra-curricular activities. The extent to which the students
co-operated in the work was remarkable, and satisfying to the officers who were work-
ing continually for the interests of the body.
The moderator, Mr. Frederick S. Conlin, and the president, John A. Conway, worked
together in arranging a program of lectures which would at the same time increase the
members' fluency in the language and stimulate their interest in Hispanic culture.
Several phases of Spanish and Spanish-American life and history were discussed, some-
times in Spanish, sometimes in English. For example, at one lecture in March Mr. Conlin
spoke about the antiquity and significance of the universities of Spain and South
America, giving especial attention to the University of Salamanca. And at the follow-
ing meeting the president and two other members of the academy gave papers deahng
with various aspects of Spanish university life. Then a number of matters of historical
importance, such as the question of Columbus' birthplace, were interestingly discussed.
Some of the most enjoyable hours the members spent at the academy were when Mr.
Conlin gave impromptu talks relating some of his adventures in Spanish-speaking coun-
tries. To him much praise is due for the lively interest the academy engendered during
the season.

IN 1927 the reorganization of the C.M.T.C. Club brought into existence the present
Miltary Club. Faculty recognition was given in 1928. From that time on, members
of the club worked steadily to promote a lively interest in military affairs at the College,
to establish a Reserve Officers' Training Corps unit and to sponsor rifle and fencing
teams at University Heights.
In 1932-33 the club's activity was mostly informal. While the club as an organized
body was not as active as it had been other years, it still benefited its members greatly
through the informal discussions that were always going on among its members.
The aid which the club gave the Rifle Team was one of the outstanding services of
the year. There is no coach for the team, so members of the upper classes, including
Bob Jordan and Charles Ryan of thirty-three, stepped into the breach and instructed
the lower classmen. This unselfish service was of immeasurable value in bringing the
Rifle Team up to its high standing. The team of the years of 1932 and 1933 were cer-
tainly among the best in College history. It competed with organizations which be-
longed to the R.O.T.C. and defeated very many of them. The rifle team, from being
our representatives in a very minor sport, became a unit of considerable importance
and much prestige.

IN 1931 Rev. Martin P. Harney, S.J., organized a society for those students who
were interested in history. In honor of Ludwig von Pastor, the foremost Vatican
historian who had recently died, the newly-formed body was called the Von Pastor
Historical Society. Rapidly its popularity grew, to such an extent that in 193 3 some
of the lectures had to be held in the Library Auditorium.
Mr. Hugh Blake, S.J., who succeeded Fr. Harney as moderator, together with James
Foley, secretary, planned for 193 3 a program of great interest. Among the speakers
were Fr. Harney, who discussed modern religious sects, Mr. Magruder C. Maury, Pro-
fessor of Journalism, who spoke about Japan and the reasons compelling her to con-
quer Korea and Manchuria, and Mr. Charles D. Maginnis, architect and designer of
the College buildings, who treated of European architecture.
Rev. J. F. X. Murphy, S.J., beloved History prof, lectured for the society as he had
the previous year, and once again he proved one of the greatest drawing cards of the
season. On Monday, February 6th, he gave a memorable talk, "The Causes of the World
War," during which he flayed the American press for its publication of false War
propaganda. The following week he continued in this field, scoring particularly the
ostensibly respectable newspapers. In May he again addressed the Society, presenting
facts other than those popularly known about Tammany Hall.

THAT Ethics is by no means a science whose use ends when we close our text books
was brought out by the work of the Ethics Academy. Founded in the fall of 1931
by Mr. David Twomey, S.J., for the purpose of showing some of the applications of
ethical principles to daily life, the academy became one of the leading extra-curricular
activities at the College. For this no little credit is due the wise, vital direction of its
moderator.
Meetings were held each Tuesday afternoon, when actual events were discussed from
an ethical standpoint. By treating of real cases the realization was brought home to
members of the academy that Ethics is a practical, not a theoretical science. In this way
the work of the society was of great value in supplementing the classroom work of
Fr. Corrigan and Fr. O'Connell in the same study.
Several lectures were delivered by Mr. Twomey, and discussion from the floor fol-
lowed each. The nature of mental reservations, the principle of the double effect and
similar matters were discussed in detail. Other speakers, as Rev. J. F. X. Murphy, S.J.,
who discussed religious tolerance, and Rev. Leonard Feeney, S.J., the well-known writer,
were presented to the body.
Meetings were always of unusual interest. Members found them not only very
profitable, but enjoyable as well.

TO accommodate the enormous interest which had recently arisen in regard to
economic affairs, the Economics Academy was organized in the winter of our
Senior year. Plans were made to discuss at length problems which were felt to be causes
of unrest in the world. The subject of War Debts, then of great moment, was treated
perhaps in most detailed fashion, but the academy went as deeply as it could into other
matters, as International Banking, Public Utilities, Taxation, Real Estate.
The system of discussion used was the round-table method. Meetings were held
every other Friday afternoon and in preparation for one some members would investi-
gate different phases of one question. Their findings they would then present to the
other members at the meetings. For example, at the meeting of February 10th when
War Debts were discussed, "The Young Plan," "Moratorium" and "Economic Implica-
tions of the Debt Problem" were the phases treated. Similarly at the meeting of March
10th the Tariff was studied. After a history of the question was given, the talks pre-
sented were "Production," "Free Trade," "Do We Need a Tariff Commission?" "Non-
partisan Standpoint," "Foreign Affairs" and "Aspects of the Tariff." In this way
members were able to obtain a comprehensive knowledge of the questions considered.
The Economics Academy filled a serious want and members found it of great
assistance in understanding the tangled condition of present-day finance.

Itylus Year
ONE November morning in 1932 startled members of the class saw a strange
object lying on each of their chairs. And only when they read the heading on the
cover did they realize that it was the Stylus, for doffed was her age-old dress of maroon
and gold and in its place a fetching outfit of red-brown and grey. Brand new, simple
type glowed on the cover and lily-white (no longer saffron) pages hid within.
"I am shocked. Disillusioned" began the first prose article, and "I have an eyeache. I
shall probably have an eyeache for a long time" began the second. But readers, if
shocked, were far from disillusioned by the work they found, and the large, clear print,
the excellent typography, delighted even the most sensitive eyes. Cornelius Dalton's "I
Vote" was a fine, indignant protest against popular selfishness. Editor Brennan again
directed the Arts Department, bringing to it his wide knowledge, excellent taste, own
style. (Quotation: "Queer doin's at the Museum these days.") "Amateur Seamen," an
interesting and quaintly styled recuerdo of the sea signed "Mehevi O'Rioner" also bore
Brennan thumb-prints, but topping his other works was the first installment of an
authoritative discussion, "Jazz, Past and Present."
This was concluded in the December Stylus. Quite different was "Pre-Raphaelitism —
Dante Rosetti" by Edward McCrensky, an article whose worth caused us to regret that
the author did not write more. "Cads Come from Boston" by Francis Maguire was
amusing, if slight.
"A Neo-Scholastic Revival?" asked James M. Connolly the following month, answer-
ing (Mr. Connolly was a debater) with a distinction: "Reasonably — yes; but in all
probability — no." "Are newspapers giving their readers the news?" Cornelius Dalton
demanded in "The Press and Progress," answering negatively. "Joris-Karl Huysmans"
by the editor lacked nothing in judgment if it was a labor of love. "Let George and
Abe Talk" insisted Vincent J. Burke the next month, condemning "the half-dead
Americans who think that national ideals are unimportant in the course of national
progress." James M. Connolly returned with "John Galsworthy," a brief, wise estimate,
and Francis Maguire with "Emeralds for the Mermaid," a tale of a would-be suicide.
"Why Dance?" by the ubiquitous "Mehevi O'Rioner" caused something of a sensation
among followers of the delicate diversion who saw their pet restaurant tricks, among
others, ruthlessly made public. The same author's "In Praise of Pipes" in the following
issue was equally mellow, much less disturbing.
Extremely well written was Charles F. Donovan's "Newman's Prose Rhythm" in
the last number of the year. The award of three prizes, — an embroidered baseball bat, a
subscription to the Emmanuel Ethos, a Venetian glass football — to worthy college
publications was announced.
Any discussion of the Stylus is incomplete which fails to mention: the wisdom of
Mr. David Twomey, S.J., its popular moderator; the excellent work done by lower
classmen; the first prizes in the Jesuit Literary Association Contest won by Editor
Brennan for his essay, "Joris-Karl Huysmans," and by Steven Fleming for his poem,
"The Werewolf;" the Stylus Exhibit of reproductions of modern French paintings;
the ads.

FROM the issue of April 13th, 1932 to that of April 12th, 1933 with its somewhat
unusual headlines ("Crew Practice on Reservoir for Holidays," "Chinese Club En-
gages Tong Next Meeting — -Nobody Attended the Last Meeting Save the Speakers")
John Curley and the other officials directed the Heights through one of its most mem-
orable years. The appearance of the pages, the matter, the presentation of the news,
were adjudged by those familiar with the work to be among the best in collegiate
journalism. During this time every member of the managing board belonged to our
class, so we justly feel that we have a right to be proud of the Heights' progress.
In the first place the Heights looked good. The balanced pages, the smooth paper, the
carefully arranged photographs were pleasing to the eye. There were several photo-
graphs in each issue, and if it is true that one picture is worth a thousand words in
telling a story, much was told wordlessly. The news stories were well done — accurately
and clearly. George Love was news editor. In colleges there is a great deal of dull
routine news which is apt to clutter up the publications, and it is to the everlasting
credit of the lords of the Heights that they so handled this matter that we could — and
usually did — read each issue from first page to last. The scramble for copies each Wed-
nesday noon was sufficient indication of their interest.
The editorials were mature, thoughtful and timely. Because editorials are apt to be
considered representative of student opinion and because they are likely to set the tone
of any publication, considerable responsibility rests on the shoulders of editorial-writers.
On those of Vincent J. Burke and his assistants it rested well. Under Larry Cadigan the
sports section was excellent. He wrote the column, "Through the Eagle's Eye," and his
ability to state honestly, clearly, knowingly, just what was going on was remarkable.
George Lawlor's column, "Cinder Dust," was one of the finest features during the
track season, and Jack Keiran's "Forecast" at football time was surprisingly accurate.
Features proved popular. James M. Connolly was feature editor. Chris Sullivan's
"Intercollegian" was ever enjoyable, and Vin Burke's "The Whatcha Column" gained
the praise of no less a person than Neal O'Hara of the Traveler. Joe Paul's "Tabloid"
is mentioned last only because it was probably the most important. Part chatter-column,
part editorial, part just plain news, it was one of the first things read in each issue.
The business staff deserves a page by itself. That the Heights could be published at
all, not to say so handsomely, was largely the result of the efforts of Kenneth Kelley,
the business manager, and of his assistants, among them Joseph Ford and Albert
Landrigan.
The Stib Tiirri, as an organ of the class, extends its sincere if rather belated con-
gratulations to the members of the managing board for their work. Also it gives its
thanks for all the courtesies granted it during the year. Of its association with the
Heights it feels proud.

STATISTICS are lacking, but we should judge that about half the giggling,
chortUng, guffawing, heard during our Junior Week was occasioned by the junior
Vic. To Editor Joseph Brennan and his assistants praise of all sorts was given, and it
was all deserved. "Heights Reviewer Doffs Hat to Junior Editors" was a headline in
that paper, Feb. 4, 1932, and despite inclement February winds many other heads were
bared in agreement.
The first thing to attract attention was the crisp cover design. Inside the covers the
type used for headings was a fine modern Sans Serif style, such as was afterwards used
in the Stylus. The announcement of the winners of a mythical motto contest was made,
first prize going to the Physics Department for the motto "Don't buy any gold bricks
on this one, gentlemen." Honorary mention went to the Stylus for "Be Medieval," to
the Philosophy Department for "Subjectively Yes, Objectively No," and finally to the
Bellarmine Society for "It's Ludicrous." Then as eloquent indication that the class was
not neglecting its Junior philosophy, a thesis was brilliantly proved. The thesis: "Not
only is prosperity just around the corner, but the present depression is only a figment of
the mind." If subsequent years seem to have belied this conclusion, the fault isn't in
the Pic's reasoning.
The page devoted to "Society, 'In Peach Georgette and Full Fig' " which followed
was one of the outstanding features of the publication. Satirizing some of the foibles of
metropolitan Boston dailies, French phrases were employed as obnoxiously as possible.
"Members of the exclusive Rotunda Club (who can be seen chaque jour occupying the
cozy benches of the smart Rotunda Clubroom) are planning a dansant to be held at
the clubroom," began the first announcement. "Heading the impressive list of patrons
is Mr. Billy Frazier. Music will be furnished by Merrick's Melodians." Plans for a dinner
dance to be jetee by Mr. Philip Dooley and for Stylus tableaux graced this section.
The page of (imaginary) letters to the editor, "Advice to the Lovelorn, Embarrassing
Moments, Parent and Child Department, Beauty Hints," contained a touching note
from Joseph Dolan ("Suddenly the professor said, 'Mr. Dolan, leave the room.' Did my
face get red!") and a delicate piece allegedly from Luke Petrocelli. "I like to take long
walks, and many times, while trudging to school, I stop to admire the new-fallen snow
sparkling in the sun, and to see the track made by some dear little rabbit. ... I hope
you'll answer my letter," it said in part. "P.S. — Aren't people and things lovely?"
The sports section and the socials page were handled excellently. In a Who's Who we
finally learned the pronunciation of John Brougham's name ("Broham, Broucham,
Bruggam, and Brum"). And few of us could disagree with the toasts proposed, among
them the one to Professor Arthur Evans, "for not inquiring too closely into the objec-
tive validity of out Weight experiments last year," and the one to Christopher Conway,
"for bringing a dog, a poor, defenceless dog, into a Greek class."

A Note to tte Reader
READER, you've waited a long time for this book. But here it is. Months, years, of
waiting and of strange rumors are ended on your part. As for us, gone, thank
heaven, is the time of replying to that ubiquitous query, "How about the book?" with
the somewhat strained nonchalance of "Book? . . . What book?" And once again we
can come across references to molasses, snails and Rip Van Winkle without feeling
unduly self-conscious. For our delay we make no excuses, but we do — and this is the
■ least you deserve — sincerely, contritely, apologize.
Still there have been compensations, and because we think they are important — and
because we feel less uncomfortable discussing these — we should like to explain them.
For one thing, this book can now have the attitude of the reader. This is an alumni
book, written for alumni as long as they are alumni, although it is about their Senior
days. It can share their memories, some of their mellowness, perhaps even their recent
but by this time almost resigned amazement at the swiftness of time. And facing an
uncertain future, it can, like them, relish the permanence of the past. Some of the
past we have tried to record here, and these years have enabled us to dwell upon it,
perhaps not more satisfactorily, but at any rate more lingeringly. In our work we have,
of course, studied the year books of scores of institutions and it has occurred to us that
several of these were after all but handsome tombstones to departed years. Making one
of these we have tried to avoid. We believe that our years spent at Boston College were,
above all, alive years. Vigorous, fresh life flourished under those towers, and if only the
tiniest fraction of it has been transferred to this book, we shall be satisfied. In time to
come when we shall laugh at these strange collars and ask how in the world anyone
could play football in those uniforms, if a spark of life still glows within this volume,
it will have served its purpose.
Our means are, perhaps, obvious. We've tried to suppress the I-take-my-pen-in-hand
style of writing, so common in publications like this, as much as possible. If roughness
has something resulted, we think the sacrifice of smoothness justified. The division
pages were planned to arouse amusement, not melancholia. Cover, borders, type, the
large "bled" photographs, — all were planned to be not only pleasing but vital. Whether
or not we have accomplished any of our aims, it is for you to determine.
To all of you who have aided in making this book, we extend our warmest thanks.
And to all who have waited patiently for it, our gratitude for your forbearance. We
found real pleasure in preparing it for you, and hope you will find some in reading it.
But now, suddenly feeling very light, we push aside pencils, proofs, photographs.
And if you see us one of these days walking along Tremont Street with our ears dis-
creetly cocked, you'll know it's because we're hoping to hear someone pay that supreme,
if somewhat extravagant, compliment, "It was worth waiting for!"

Philomatheia Club
IT is impossible for us to estimate the great amount of good which has been done for
Boston College by the Philomatheia Club, the self-sacrificing devotion of whose
members we of the class of 'thirty-three can never forget. "Philomatheia" means
"friends of learning," and the happy manner in which the members have fostered the
interests of our college has proven that they have more than lived up to the claims of
their name. Boston College is, relatively, a fairly young institution, and it is conceiv-
able that only those who come some hundreds of years after us will be able to appreciate
fully the value of the care these unselfish women have given the College in its early
and awkward years.
The support which the club has given is definitely practical. In the fall of our Senior
year, for example, it turned over twelve hundred dollars to the College as the proceeds
of a party given the preceding Spring at the Jesuit Rest House, Bellarmine Manor.
Moreover it has given the Siib Turri of each class the funds from the Philomatheia Ball
and sometimes more. The present volume received the large and seemingly heaven-sent
sum of five hundred dollars, and here wishes to take the opportunity of again extending
its thanks to Mrs. Vincent P. Roberts, the president, to Rev. Daniel J. Lynch, the
spiritual director, and to all who were instrumental in making this gift.
Besides all this, the society has from time to time given the use of its attractive club-
house to various activities within the College. In 193 3 the Philomatheia Chalet housed
the French Academy's oratorical contest on the fifth of May, and on the following
Thursday it was the scene of the annual banquet of the Fulton Debating Society.
In Mrs. Roberts, the president of the club, the College has found a loyal and wise
ally. Leader of several activities, the force behind countless projects which have greatly
benefited the school, she has been a friend to all Boston College men. Mrs. Roberts is
the donor of the Gold Medal which is annually given the winner of the Fulton Prize
Debate and which was won in 193 3 by Charles W. O'Brien of the class.
The Philomatheia Ball, the reception to the Senior class given each year by the club,
was held in the main ballroom of the Copley Plaza on Friday evening, January 13th,
and was everywhere conceded to be one of the largest and most beautiful ever given.
It was held in the form of a supper dance. If any members of the class present had any
uneasiness about Friday the thirteenth, it was permanently dispelled that evening.
Charles F. Stiles was chairman, and Mrs. WiUiam Bannon co-chairman, of the affair.
In the maroon and gold decorated ballroom approximately three hundred and fifty
couples danced to the popular music of the Sheraton Room Orchestra and of Bill Boyle's
Orchestra. At midnight, amid showers of streamers and confetti hurled from the bal-
cony, the grand march took place, and, something of a wonder for grand marchers, it
functioned with utter smoothness.
All who attended the ball were unanimous in its praise.
One of the most important steps taken in the club's history was when a new body,
the Junior Philomatheia Club, was organized. As is the case with the senior body, the
purposes of this group also are to aid Boston College interests. To Miss Lucille O'Malley
and Miss Patricia Gavin and to the other officers we are very glad to extend our thanks
for what was done both while we of 'thirty-three were at the College and afterwards.
I nineteen
If it was only for its part in producing Dick Whittingdon the Junior Philomatheia
merits the highest acclaimu As far as we know, nothing of the same nature ever done
before in the name of the College can compare with the magnificent production of
this musical extravaganza by Mrs. Larz Anderson and Grace Warner Gulesian which
was given in the Opera House on February 14th and 15 th, 1933. The care given this
undertaking, with its many scenes, its several choruses, its hundreds of characters, was
extraordinary. This care was evident when we were privileged to see the splendid per-
formances, and we are not misusing the adjective when we say that the entire produc-
tion was stupendous. All concerned with the venture worked nobly, and the fine
courage of Miss Virginia Grimes, the leading lady, who carried on in her difficult role
despite the greatest personal bereavement at the time, was indicative of the high spirit
in which the whole project was carried out.
The Philomatheia Club — Senior and Junior — has done much for the College. Hours,
years, perhaps lives, have been devoted by these loyal women to the College's interests,
and we are the sons of Boston College. Let us hope that in our own way we may be
able to help show them that their sacrifices have not been in vain.

By Barbara Belch
Editor's note: The following excerpts have been culled from Miss Belch's
society columns in the Boston newspapers of the years 1930-1933. Only
those items
have been
vhich the editors considered of interest to the Boston College
elected.
The Freshmen at Sandy Burr
(May 29, 1930)
Of course, all the smart Boston College
people were at the long awaited dansant
held hier soir at the exclusive Sandy Burr
Country Club, run by those very am-
bitious young creatures of '33. It rained
dreadfully, but do you think that spoiled
the fun? Not at all. Preceding the party,
there was a perfect whirl of dinners, and
everyone arrived at the Club in the gay-
est of humor. Everybody was so lovely
that it would be mean to give names.
But we just must say that we spied
charming Chris Conway, one of the sea-
son's most popular debutantes, in very
good company. We also noticed the love-
ly Oakie O'Connor, who was being con-
stantly cut in on. And what do you sup-
pose vivacious Leo Flynn had in his
pocket? A silver pheasant! But he is so
good-looking, one just can't be cross with
him. And everybody SCREAMED when
some little cut-up put out the lights.
(We think it was black-eyed Charlie
Quinn.)
Sophomore Promaiing
AT THE Somerset
(April 24,1931)
All society turned out en bloc to at-
tend the wonderful affaire held at the
exclusive Hotel Somerset by the Sopho-
mores last Friday night. We really could-
n't begin to tell you who were there,
for practically everybody in '3 3 was
present with his handsome escort. Bart
Grady, who played at so many debutante
parties, was dreamily waving his stick to
the dreamy rhythm of the orchestra, and
we saw dreamy-eyed Johnnie Moynahan
who had his hands full with his good-
looking Trahcia. We don't know tvhat
makes Johnnie so popular. During the
evening's course, everyone had a good
laugh when somebody threw a silver
thing that looked like a flattened-out
thermos bottle at the pianist, knocking
him hors de combat for the evening. We
afterwards saw curly-haired Joe Dolan's
stalwart escort smilingly shake a reprov-
ing finger under his chubby little nose.
And of course, after the danse everyone
bundled down avec beaucoup de hate to
the exclusive Vielle France for some
stimulating crackers and milk.
To Repertory
for Beau Brummel
(February 8, 1932)
How society does love a risque farce!
Certainly the shrieks of laughter that
greeted the sophisticated lines from the
B. C. Junior League play Beau Brummel
staged last Monday night at the Reper-
tory Theatre gave ample proof that the
younger set have little en concorde with
the older generation. We happened to
run back-stage to the make-up room,
and we chatted for a bit with sweet little
Frank Mulligan who blushed so prettily
when we discovered him in his scanties!
Frankie's favorite color seemed to be
pale lavender. We enjoyed the play im-
mensely, especially petite Steve Fleming's
scene (everybody knows that sunny-
voiced slip of a creature) as the French
landlord in the third act.
Junior Prom
(February 5, 19} 2)
It was GORGEOUS! The exclusive
Somerset was thronged with the gayest
crowd we have ever seen, — beautiful
gowns, lovely debbies, immaculately
groomed companions, colored lights . . .
everywhere . . . everything was lit beau-
tifully. Handsome Fletcher Henderson
and his delightful orchestra furnished
the soft insinuating music. We were con-
siderably amused to see charming Joe
Paul struck playfully in the face by a
debutante-usher taking tickets at the
door. Of course, Joe wasn't trying to
crash, for he had his ticket in his pocket
all the time; but he just loves to tease
everyone. George Love was chairman of
course, and we couldn't take our eyes off
him, he had grown so lovely in the past
two years. We also noticed sparkling-eyed
Jack Keiran asking his escort if she didn't
think Billy Sullivan was such a dear.
And we saw appealing Bucky Warren
who was a dream in purple velvet. As
we were leaving we caught a glimpse of
dainty Luke Petrocelli with one of the
season's most popular buds, Maurie
Whalen. And what do you think they
were doing? They were having a b-rping
contest. Luke claimed he could b-rp the
louder, but Maurie insisted that he could
get more b-rps to the minute than could
Luke. We just had to tear ourselves
away.
Sandy Burr Once More
(May 27, 1932)
Wouldn't you think that a class might
get tired of having their summer dan-
sants at the same place year after year?
Usually they don't have them there
again, but au contraire those smart
young people of '3 3 returned as Juniors
to the exclusive Sandy Burr Country
Club in Wayland for their annual sum-
mer formal vendredi nuit. The decora-
tions were extremely simple, and every-
thing movable was carefully hidden
away. (Probably because of some droll
whim of the Club management.) There
were so many good-looking debs present
that we couldn't begin to tell who was
there. We did notice Phil Couhig, one of
the season's most popular buds; (you
know they call him ""Moose" for short.)
He was simply ravishing in yellow or-
gandy. Bill Hogan wore a corsage of
white violets, and Larry Cadigan was
adorable in pink chiffon, with such a
daring decolletage.
Except for a slight mix-up on the
porch, everybody had a marvelous time.
On our way out we couldn't help notic-
ing how Charlie O'Brien (everyone
adores that wavy-haired deb) was just
surrounded by admirers.
Dick Whittington
(Febntary 13, 1933)
All smart B. C. society attended the
world premiere of Dick Whittington,
the delightful musical extravaganza writ-
ten by those two talented Bostonians, the
charming Mrs. Larz Anderson and the
adorable Mrs. Gulesian. The cast was
made up of members of the B. C. Junior
League and members of the exclusive
Junior Philomatheia Club. The acting
was superb, and the singing was . . . well,
we just never heard anything Kke it! At
intermission time the delightful Mr.
Moses Gulesian (all the debs call him
"Uncle Moe") came on stage and made a
very witty speech in which he poked sly
fun at all the ambitious young Junior
Leaguers. He is such a dear. Honors were
equally divided for acting between cute
little Johnnie Hanrahan who did every-
thing with his difficult role, and the
charming horse from Mrs. Larz Ander-
son's stables who behaved so well both
nights of performance.
Philomatheia Ball
(January 13, 1933 )
The long anticipated event has come
and gone. I mean of course the Senior
Assembly, the most exclusive social event
of the year, held hier soir at the exclu-
sive Copley Plaza ballroom. It was spon-
sored by the members of the exclusive
Philomatheia Club; you know Noel
Pentacost's poem which begins:
The ladies of the Philomatheia Club of
Boston College
Meet on alternate Fridays.
Well, all the Seniors were there in their
very smartest attire. We saw good-look-
ing Charlie Stiles leading the grand
march. (Charlie looked so nice tripping
down the ballroom.) There were oodles
of young debs there, among them John
Carr in wine-red velvet, Frank Walsh in
beige chiffon, and Chris Sullivan in . . .
well, it wasn't very much, but u>e
liked it.
Of course, it was a supper dance, but
there were just loads of dinner-parties
and ushers' dinners to precede it. Every-
body said that it was the gayest affair
they had ever attended.

The Beade Hunt
THIS famous Hunt was held on January 14th, 1933, the morning after the
Philomatheia Ball. After the Master of Hounds had called for silence, the beagles
were blessed by a prominent clergyman. A libation was poured (down accepted chan-
nels) and the Hunt was on. Moose Fleming bravely and gracefully held on to the
croup of his charger during the entire ride. Grandgousier, fearing untoward
atmospheric conditions, carried his familiar tin cup, but jeering remarks as to its purpose
necessitated its abandonment. Hitch-horse applied Dunhill's Ointment to his nose as a
sunburn preventative, but only attracted insects. The band was led at this time by
Ingoldsby O'Brien, shouting his ancestral cry, "Amore." The trail led through the
campus of Framingham State College where all were greeted by the assembled students
clad in milkmaids' costumes. At this point Jock Hanrahan, from fatigue, was forced
to drop out. Crossing the turnpike Connolly's mount, from force of habit, started for
Worcester, but was headed off by Dillingsworth McCrensky. At Wellesley Let-down-the-
bars slipped beneath his mount where he remained till the finish, being inconvenienced
only by the limited range of vision.
The Hunt Supper was served at the Philomatheia Chalet where Moose Fleming danced
to a bassoon and oboe duet of Messrs. Brennan and McCrensky, and the Master of the
Hounds recited "The Nocturnal Return from Worcester."

The Pro- Americans
By Cornelius Dalton
(To accord with tradition, the ^ub Tiini here preserves for posterity a typical
article from the Stylus, a literary monthly written by four students and thirteen
pseudonyms of Boston College. Subscription $2.00 a year. Single copies three for a
cent at the Styhis office.)
I
America is ruled by a gang of rotten politicians. Any man who is an American ought
to be ashamed of himself. The proletariat is trampled upon by the bourgeoisie headed
by the capitalists. The worker is dictated to by the capitalist who, after robbing him
of his pay envelope, sucks what blood there is left in him by squeezing enormous taxes
from him.
II
I have faith in America. I am Pro-American. These negligible accretions which
annoy us today can be shaken off like flies from fly-paper. I believe that Old Glory will
remain flying at the masthead, majestic in her all-conquering supremacy, thanks to
God's gift to the U. S. A., Franklin Delano Roosevelt, aided by his brave and sweet
little wife, Eleanor. The American people, to whom all the world looks for salvation,
will prove worthy of their immortal heritage of pioneer spirits . . . they will prove
worthy of the Stars and Bars.
(The second part of my article will prove more effective if it is read to the soft
accompaniment of a phonograph recording of "The Stars and Stripes Forever.")

Ackno w^led eements
MANY friends of the class have generously assisted in making the S>2tb Titrri 1933,
and to them we wish to express our deepest gratitude. In particular we wish
to thank:
The Jahn and Oilier Engraving Company, especially Mr. Peter Gurwit, for prepar-
ing the engravings and for designing and executing the art work; the Foxboro Printing
Company and the Machine Composition Company for their aid in arranging the
typography; Mr. Paul McCarthy for his skill, kindnsss and patience in taking care of
the advertising; the Purdy Studios for their ever-helpful co-operation; the Philomatheia
Club for generous assistance of a kind that was most needed; the Boston College
Library, especially Mr. O'Loughlin, for its all-round aid; the Heights and the Stylus
for advertising; members of the class, both those who were on the staff and those who
were not, for invaluable work and advice; Mr. Frank Brow, '34, and the other artists
for the football sketches; Mr. William J. Koen, Editor of the Stib Turri 1930, for his
generous counsel and for the loan of plates; Mr. James Moynahan, '31, for the three-
year loan of a Sub Turri; Messrs. Herbert O'Connor and Glynn Eraser of the Sub
Turris 1931 and 1932 respectively for their thoughtful advice; our patrons and adver-
tisers for very generous help in difficult years; the members of the class and other read-
ers for their heartening patience in awaiting this volume; and finally all the friends and
acquaintances whose good nature we have sorely tried for their kind tolerance during
the manifold and slightly mad period of the making of this book.
