[t was one of those typical San Francisco mornings in the early months of 1855. The fog crept slowly across what was then but the beginning of the modern city. Father Anthony Maraschi, S.J., destined to be known and revered as the Father of Jesuit Education in San Francisco, conversed with Archbishop Joseph Sadoc Alemany, O.P., appointed two years previously as the first Archbishop of San Francisco. Jesuit tradition has it that the conversation took place in the Arch bishop's office and that it centered about a request on the part of Father Maraschi that the Archbishop designate a site for a planned Jesuit College and Church. Archbishop Alemany spread out a map of San Francisco upon his desk, pondered for some time and then indicated a location where now stands the modern Em porium on Market Street—but which was then known as St. Anne's Valley, marked by sand dunes—: "Anyplace out there!" said the Archbishop; with these words, the story of Jesuit Education in San Francisco begins. A few months later, in July 1855, a plain one room structure erected alongside of another undistinguished building (the latter was the first St. Ignatius Church), poked its head bravely through the sand out near what is today Fourth and Market Streets. A handful of students attended classes faithfully and it seemed that nothing could stop the growth of St. Ignatius College. But financial problems arose and the doors were temporarily closed. But the college wasn't through yet. In 1862, despite numerous obstacles, a new building was constructed a short distance from the original site. The new St. Ignatius College witnessed the growth of downtown San Francisco until soon it began to look a little out of place amid nineteenth century commercial activity. In 1878, Jesuit authorities in Rome approved the purchase of a plot of land at Hayes St. and Van Ness Ave., near the present City Hall. A large college was planned to fit the needs of a growing city. Construction of a beautiful new Church and College was completed by 1880 and, by the end of the century, this sturdy Jesuit school was outstanding among the educational institutions of the Far West. The outlook was even brighter until that April day in 1906 when first earth quake and then fire razed the entire institution and left both Church and College but devastated ruins. Temporary headquarters were acquired at Hayes and Shrader Sts., out near Golden Gate Park, and the Jesuit Fathers began the diffi cult task of reconstructing the former glory of both Church and College. A new St. Ignatius Church (the present) was dedicated on our Hilltop in 1914 but it was not until 1927 that, with the dedication of our present Liberal Arts Building, the College ascended Ignatian Heights and a new era began. Diamond Jubilee cele brations in 1930 saw the venerable institution changing its name to the University of San Francisco as it, quite appropriately, took the name of the city with which it had grown.

To the Reverend John Peter Mootz, S.J., who this year celebrates his Golden Jubilee as a member of the Society of Jesus and who, for the past twenty-three years, has rendered steady and unsung service as a member of the University's faculty, we dedicate this issue of THE DON. Ad multos annos!

The task of establishing a church and college in San Francisco in the early fifties called for maturity and judgment, since the selection of a site was of paramount importance. The man marked out to begin the work was Father Maraschi, S.J. A choice of location was made between Fourth and Fifth Streets in a narrow sand hill depression, dignified with the name of St. Ann's Valley. ' The First Half Century Joseph W.

Late in the spring semester of 1952, six new student body officers, chosen in 1 tense elections, took their places around the semicircular table in the Semaria Room. Thereafter, through the following two semesters, they did an outstanding job of governing the Associated Students through a successful year. Frank Riley was our Student Body President. Crew haircut, captivating smile, cheery personality—he could be "one of the boys" or a stern administra tor, as the situation demanded. Frank qave his personality to the student body and they loved it. Key figure behind each social activity was Dominic Tarantino. Look at the so cial activities—immense and numerous.

On Wednesday, April 18, 1906 at 5:12 a. m., San Francisco was visited by a terrible earthguake which lasted about forty-eight seconds. St. Ignatius, at that time, seemed safe. About 11:00 a. m., on that same morning, a woman living on the corner of Hayes and Gough Streets, not realizing the broken condition of her chimney, lighted a fire in her kitchen. —The Monitor, May 12, 1906.

Phil O'Connor Editor
While most of us were enjoying social activities or cramming for exams, Editor Phil O'Connor was think ing about the YEARBOOK. There were many prob lems to be solved and Phil was the man to solve them. Many think that an editor's job is all glory and fun, yet this is far from being true. Although others helped to produce this book, most of the work was done by Phil. He had to make the important decisions and finish the work of his assistants. All the responsibilities were on Phil's shoulders. It will be Phil that the critics, and there will be many, will either blame or praise- But realizing all the work he did, we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank him. Phil surrounded himself with the ablest assistants he could find. Walt Bernard became the photo editor and was given the job of working with Pat and Tom

The overall layout of the book was ably handled by Ed Antognoli. The administration and social sections are the product of the ingenuity of Jerry Dalton and John Cavanagh respectively. To Jack Connoly went the difficult task of collecting the Senior biographies and preparing the Senior section. Other class editors were Ray Fazzio, Paul Collins and Bob Linczer. The job of securing ads came under the managership of John Brauner. John was ably assisted by Bob Granucci and Mario Vedrich.

Osibogun sir The Pi Sigma Alpha fraternity, founded at the University of Texas in 1920, is the national Political Science honor society. The Omega chapter, University of San Francisco, was chartered in 1935. The fraternity receives into its ranks upper division and graduate students majoring in government, political science, public adminis tration and international relations. Members must attain high standards of scholarship both in political science and in other aca demic work. This organization's position among leading college honor societies was established in 1949 through admission to the Fermin Ramos, President National Association of College Honor Societies. Pi Sigma Alpha, while small in number, is one of the more active groups on campus. Its most important function is the operation of the Civil Service Information Bureau, which brings to the attention of the student body the more attractive government jobs open to I them. Since its inception the Bureau has assisted some twenty- seven graduates in acguiring government positions. In conjunction with this service, the fraternity has presented speakers from the various levels of government in order that those interested may familiarize themselves with the Civil Service and what it has to offer. Among the Club's other activities are joint meetings with the International Relations Club and contributions to the Quarterly Magazine. r?*s7.sj»-;.v .v-.-rSyJJ- •?«» •^Ej^ Firsf Bow: C. Crotty, W.

But Dr. Camajani instilled a fighting spirit in them and by January the music-minded organization boasted of a one-hundred-percent increase. Why the change? The answer stands out in words like enthusiasm, dash, achievement, deeds-instead-of-delay — and leadership. Dr. Camajani and Dave Silva started the bonfire of Dave Silva, President eagerness and the Glee Club members kept it burn ing. The warming results were first evident in the concert for the USF Educator's Club. The songs like Amo Amas, a poke at ritualistic Latin classes, and the ever-popular Moonlight Bay, were hits. And although the singing for the USF alumni ban- guet was more in the rough-and-ready style, it too was a success. The Glee Club kept up its vigor and sang its way through negro spirituals, folk songs, old English dit ties and Gregorian Chant, concluding a year which speaks for itself, a year of good fortune.

Albert Zabala, S.J., as Moderator, Philhistorians participated in numerous speech events. University Platform, the weekly KCBS radio show, hosted USF speakers freguently. Round Table discussion groups at California, Stanford, San Jose State and St. Mary's College had able USF participants. Two model Student Congresses, one in the Fall and one in the Spring, concerned themselves with bills proposed by Phil- historian Delegates. In addition to these activities, debate teams were furnished for bi-weekly Round Robin Debates with other Ted Moore, President members of the Northern California Forensic Association. In February USF hosted a tournament of the Association on our campus. The speech tournament at Pepperdine in Los Angeles was attended by members of the Philhistorians. Moreover the Phil- historians acted as a center to provide student speakers for other intercollegiate activities in which they were reguired. All the above activities were in subordination and supplementa tion to the primary goals of the Club. The Philhistorians purpose was the promoting of efficiency in clear thought and persuasive expression along Christian principles among its members. In as far as these were achieved the Philhistorians could look with pride on a year of accomplishment. WmW £3 : £ II—1 • -wmm l '•kr.V: m fe«B," First Row: A. Theis, J. Tallerico, T.

The first meeting of the History Club was held on October 2, 1952 John Delury, President and elections were held. Duly elected officers for the various posts were, John F. Delury, President, Gerald Olson, Vice-President and Theodore J. Moore, Secretary-Treasurer. Since that time, the Club, under the Moderatorship of Father John B. McGloin, S.J., has sponsored two lectures and one field trip. October 30, 1952 saw Mr. Aubrey Drury, author of books on California history, lecturing on "History as a Hobby." An overflow audience assembled to hear Doctor John D. Hicks, Chairman of the University of California p History Department, in a completely enjoyable analysis of the recent presidential election, this lecture being delivered on November 20, 1952. This had been preceded by several weeks by a spirited discussion on the election issues on .the part of the Club membership.

After three years of continuous life, the Club was tem porarily abandoned due primarily to the regular and constant graduation of its old members and aggra vated by the lack of prospective members. However, during the Fall semester of 1952, several enthusiastic !%siiiiffl^F- lllllllll I students of the University decided to activate the Club again. And so they took the matter to the attention of the Dean of Men. After a brief discussion, the Dean \ accepted the idea and it was finally approved by the Executive Council. Its Charter was renewed and so Jim Del Rosario, President once again the Philippine Club took active part in the various problems and activities presented by the students.

The laugh-packed comedy of the city "slicker" taken by country "yokels" opened its three-night run on November 19 and brought immediate acclaim to a new personality among USF comic character actors. In the midst of a highly competent cast headed by Betty Bennett and Dave Devincenzi, Joe Bellan stood out for his riotous performance as Mr. Kimber, the laconic country caretaker. Real artistry in the use of subtle changes of expression and gesture as well as a flair for rough and tumble slapstick made Joe's performance the big laugh hit of the show. It might have been a one-man show were it not for the competency of the entire cast. Betty and Dave turned in polished performances as the city couple trying to settle in the shambles of a country house in which George Washington was alleged to have slept. Ted Moore was delightfully droll as rich Uncle Stanley. Dom Tarantino and Pat Barry brought a pleasant freshness to their roles as the juvenile leads, while Bob Johnson cavorted happily as the mis chievous nephew. Delberta Little, Ken Letner, Marie Gannon, Chariot Gates, and Jerry Dalton were also among the many who turned in top-notch perform ances. Most ambitious of the season's undertakings was the staging of a lavish, full-length production of Shakespeare's "Macbeth." Script readings and cast ing for the play were started even while "George Washington Slept Here" was in production. Activity toward the presentation of the play was continuous from that time. That that activity paid off was evident in the fine job the Players did of meeting the demands of poetic drama, a form new to most of the members of the cast. It was also evident in the manner in which ..*»% the organization coped with the great many technical problems of staging the Elizabethan tragedy. m -*s « W ? Bringing the leading roles to life in Shakespeare's treatment of a story from 11th century Scottish history were Ted Moore as Macbeth, Marge Werby as Lady Macbeth, Ed Hurley as Macduff, and Leo McCarthy as Banguo. Fine performances by the large support ing cast played a big part in making the stellar inter pretations of the four leads come vividly alive. Behind those interpretations was Director Stuart Bennett, who molded the acting roles into their final form. USF's Shakespearian scholar, Dr. Hereward T. Price, also lent his assistance with valuable and authorita tive interpretive advice. ititti Full-fledged entrance into entertainment's newest *h medium simultaneously with production of "Macbeth" was a big hurdle the College Players managed to take in stride. Early in February, just as full rehearsal schedules for "Macbeth" were being mapped, the Players were asked to join their talents to those of the University's Law School in producing a TV show based on famous trials. An experiment in educational television, "You Are the Jury," was a cooperative enterprise of the USF Law School and Station KRON- TV. Aimed at giving local audiences an insight into the workings of the law, the shows were based on actual cases famous in legal annals. USF law students handled the examination of witnesses and the argu ments to the jury, while the College Players provided the dramatic background incidents for the shows and furnished the principal actors in the courtroom drama, other than the attorneys and the judge. As indicated by the show's title, the jury was made up of the television audience. Viewers were asked to mail in their verdicts at the close of each show and on the succeeding show the results of the audience poll were compared with the actual trial verdict. Produced by College Players'' Director Stuart Bennett, the show was written by KRON staff mem bers and narrated by Edward F. Dolan, Jr., USF evening division instructor and local TV personality. Members of the USF Law School faculty and well known Bay Area jurists sat as guest judges on the 3± jdl television courtroom bench. The initial show in the biweekly series of seven productions was aired on Sunday, February 15. Reviewing the year's activities and the scope they encompassed, it can easily be seen that the College Players lived up to their purpose, namely, "to suit the function of the university by presenting a range of theatrical experience consistent with the purposes of the institution."

Daniel Kelleher, S.J. SPORTS STAFF Harvey Christensen Joe Troy PHIL WOOLPERT, in his third year as head basketball coach of the Dons, successfully steered his team to the co-championship of the California Basketball Association. The season's overall record of 11 wins and 12 losses does not tell the whole story of Phil's worries and headaches. He is also Director of Athletics at USF. ROSS GIUDICE again made strong claims for the most successful yearling basketball coach in the Bay Area, as the Frosh posted an overall record of 19-4. The material he is building for future use on the varsity includes several very promising stars. FRANK ZANAZZI, tape man par excellence, can easily lay claim to another outstanding service to the Hilltop: track coach. During the basketball season, Frank is busy conditioning the athletes for the hardwood sport. When winter begins to thaw, Frank busies himself rounding up fleet cinder men and husky fieldsters. FR. KELLEHER, in his first year as athletic moderator of the school, saw the success of a sound intramural program that became the envy of many colleges. Furthermore, the prospects of intercol legiate competition in track, basketball, soccer, tennis, etc., is slowly beginning to take on a healthy outlook. HARVEY CHRISTENSEN, Intramural Commissioner, stepped into one of the most ambitious programs ever laid down by any school. In the short course of a few months, a highly competitive football program became the foundation for intramural athletics of every type, and "student participation" became the watchwords around the campus. During the Spring Season, Harv guided the baseball nine as coach. JOE TROY, manager of the basketball team, has now finished four years of faithful service to the sport he likes so well. During that Joe Erlach, Cheerleader Bill Kern, Cheerleader span, Joe witnessed the departure of USF's 1949-50 NIT team, suffered through the pains of rebuilding, but shared gloriously in many of the team's startling upsets over outstanding foes. u. .«• tfi.1. • 1 : K A ^flplp' -- Jljw s. \ J l*!>H|l ^ nU'*l 1 F.

As thirty-one men reported for the team last Sep tember, Coach Augustine (Gus) P. Donoghue began to formulate plans for fielding another championship V'f contender.

Threatening Don supremacy were the Bears of IT' ••'US-" California, the Gators of San Francisco State, and 1 Hiss Stanford's Big Red; all had grown more powerful since last season. •W?K m The fall turnout yielded sixteen lettermen, among whom were 1951 All-Conference selections Jose Leon, Manny Ortiz, and Olufunmi Osibogun, the latter an All-American as well. Leon teamed,with Al Rangel, another veteran, and newcomers Jorges Valdez, -*» Brian Pike, Joe Ignoffo and Mashood Danmole, to form an offense which later proved second to none in the conference. Osibogun and Ortiz collaborated with the experi enced Ralph Pardell, Armando Denys, Maurice Beattie, Bill Herup, Bill Cox, and the Philippines' 'IT Manny Ortiz Adrian Manzano, to form a formidable defense. Adrian Manzano Boasting a 37-game winning streak over league op ponents, the Dons humbled, in order, SF State, Stan ford, City College, Santa Clara and California, in e first round play.

In the second round of conference play, the Green i. :£** and Gold eleven overpowered all opposition, except an upset-minded Stanford Indian which handed the Dons a heart-breaking tie. At the end of ten league games, the Hilltop Horde had extended its unbeaten Sllfe record to 46 contests. To make the season complete, the champions decisioned the Conference All Stars for the fifth consecutive year. USF was invited to participate in the Fourth An I nual Soccer Bowl at St. Louis, Mo., December 28, but the contest was cancelled due to playing-site diffi culties. Hence the Dons' bid for national recognition Al Rangel fell by the wayside. Mashood Danmole The Conference inaugurated a Junior Varsity pro gram this season, and the Donlets posted a victory over California's Bearcubs, and broke even in two games each with SF State and Stanford. Front-liners Al Falconi, Ted Chun, Rudy Dangcil, Andrew and Charles Jezycki, Alex Labrador, Ber nard McGinity and Paul Wedel, and backfielders Andy Conway, Ron Edgeman, Ray Gilmartin, Her bert Ho, Tom Klitgaard, Rouben Tchakalian, and An tonio Roumaldez comprised a sguad which should supply the varsity with experienced talent in the seasons to come.

He was one of the determining factors on that 1949 eleven which went on to annex the national co-championship. Osibogun continued his exceptional playing dur ing the next three years. He didn't score a single goal during that time—but that wasn't the responsibility of a halfback in soccer. His job was one of warding off opponents' scoring threats and initiating the Dons' offensive maneuvers, and the prince from Nigeria executed both tasks with superlative ability. Attesting to that ability were the honors bestowed upon him. Osibogun was chosen All-Conference in 1950, '51, and '52, and All-American in 1949, '51, and '52. With the 1952 season, the prince brought to a close his collegiate career—a career which entitles him to join the ranks of great USF soccermen of the past, such as Negoesco, Lee and Diaz.

In such a time of trial it was fitting that special spiritual help be asked for those alumni fighting for their country. Tuesday evening, February 22, 1944, Washington's Birthday, a "Religious Patriotic Service of Remembrance" was held in St. Ignatius Church. A Solemn Military Mass followed, sung by virtue of war time privilege by Reverend James J.

The men of 1953 have distinguished themselves, both as individuals and as a class through their major contributions to the academic, athletic, religious and social activities of the University. It was while we were going through the agonies of our first registration that we were welcomed as new "babes" by being informed that, once again, "dinks" were a must for freshmen. The freshman athletic teams were providing the experience that would make the varsity stars of tomorrow. Our second and third years were marked by an increased tempo in school activities. The soccer team gained wide recognition as the national Co-Champion. Many of us followed what was to be our Ed Hurley, Representative first and only undefeated, untied, football team to Stockton, Los Angeles, and even to Idaho. The giant car parade to the Oakland airport and the subseguent homecoming weekend will be difficult to forget. It was also during our third year that we witnessed the inauguration of the popular Schola Cantorum under the auspices of the University's Music Department. In the spring of the same year the majority of the men of '53 began to make preparations for a six weeks' stay in Texas or Virginia as guests of Uncle Sam. Frank Riley was elected Student Body President to climax a cam paign which mirrored the enthusiasm which was to prevail in our last and "big" year on the Hilltop. It was only a short time after our return in September that Ted Demos was elected as the last of our class presidents. All-Coast Guard Phil Vukicevich with his fellow senior team mates was in strumental in leading the Dons to a co-championship in the newly formed California Basketball Association. The Senior Banguet was the first of our four major functions. The Senior Ball and Exclusive followed and our stay on the Hill was terminated by the Senior Retreat at El Retire May all the ideals and aims of Christian men which we have been striving to attain be with us always!

Tough Game But I don't like it black! Who, me? Are You Sure You're Twenty-one? Freshman? Shoeshine &®a®' A Look Backwards-' The year opened with a touch of hesitancy on most everyone's part, for there was no way of predicting the outcome of a Fall semester without a football season. But hesitant and unsure as everyone was, there was no choice but to plunge in and make the best oj this new situation. In the innumerable registration lines everyone joked self-consciously about the semester's outcome and there were as many predictions—mostly pessimistic —as there were students. As the year revealed, however, the pessimism was needless. Both fall and spring social seasons were as good, if not better, than any that had ever been produced by football. The ASUSF operated at a greater profit than had been realized for several years. And the number of students par ticipating in sports nearly tripled due to a mammoth intramural set-up. Oddly enough, it was the pre-season pessimists who were the first to join in the chorus proclaiming the school year 1952-1953 to be one of the best ever. The machinery of this surprising year was put into gear on the eighth day of September with the rigid observance of Schola Brevis for the first two days of instruction. The highlight of those early weeks was the Frosh Initiation Program. It turned out to be the best in years. An energetic Games Committee put the muttering fledglings through a restrained but thorough hazing. And to top it off, a mar velous stunt, which will probably develop into a tradition at USF in the years to come, was carried off. As the annual Mass of the Holy Ghost let out, the Games Committee lined up all the dink wearers along the side of St. Ignatius Church, handed the musically inclined a couple of drums, and then marched the entire throng up to Lone Mountain where the Freshmen were made to kneel before the front door and serenade the delighted lasses. The Freshmen understandably played a large part in the success of the 52-53 year for the final registration figures showed they totaled a startling 315—the largest Freshman enrollment in over four years. For the University those figures were a very good omen; they proved conclusively that a football team isn't nec essary in order to attract students. A great year is undeniably the product of a smooth-functioning Executive Council. Its members are probably the best known students on the campus. Their names and pictures are in the Foghorn week after week and they seem never to leave the campus. The main Frosh personality was the class president, Ray Perkins, a soft-spoken, dark-haired, bespectacled Lowell High grad. His election was significant be cause it marked the first time in a decade that the post wasn't taken by a St. Ignatius alumnus. However, the same post for the Sophomores was grabbed off by an S.I. man— John Castagnetto, a smiling, good-natured, good-looking Irishman. lililliillllil IIP ill Time to go? Family Portrait II?

The Juniors produced a married man for class prexy. He was Rich Holl, a tall, pleasant spoken, business'administration major. Under his direction the defunct Junior Week was put back on the calendar with a fast-paced, week-long sched ule of events. A short, swarthy fellow won the Senior reins in an upset election victory. With more events to manage than, the other class presidents, Ted Demos made a very creditable showing for his first appearance in public office. These four men along with the two representatives from each class composed the majority of the Council. The remaining members composed what is called the "Top Table," the Student Body officers. Reading from left to right as they appeared at the head of the table each Tues day noon, they were: Dick Nachtsheim, Foghorn representative. The efficient, twenty-five year old, ex-Army officer, had a unigue ability of bringing order out of the chaos of parlia mentary business. Joe Erlach, head yell leader. A handsome Junior of German extraction, the spiritmaker of USF headed the bustling Games Committee. Rick Arellano, corresponding secretary. The smooth-talking Latin Junior kept a tight grip on inter-school relations between USF and the Bay Area's Catholic Women's Colleges. Dom Tarantino, vice-president. A thoroughly capable politician and worker, the junior business administration student did an outstanding job as overall social chairman of the University. Frank Riley, president. Holder of the top post in the school, gavel-wielder Riley exuded personality and turned in a creditable performance in the ASUSF's toughest post. Jerry Desmond, recording secretary. The hard-working Junior headed up the Club President's Council in addition to keeping the minutes of the Council. Al Baggiani, treasurer. The genial Senior had the pleasure of balancing the administration's books and showing a profit. Bill Kern, NFCCS Senior delegate. The big, smiling Irishman was vice-presi dent of the NFCCS Northern California region and provided many of the laughs at the weekly meetings of the Execs. Bob Ainslie, chairman of the Board of Student Control. The man with the longest title on the Council took over the post in December when the original chairman, Barney Blackmore, was inducted into the Army. This was the Executive Council; these were the men that guided and arranged all the events and activities that were to add up to one of the greatest years that USF had ever seen. The social year opened with a real Hawaiian bang in the Whitcomb Hotel. Well over four hundred couples jammed into a large, hot room one September night for several hours of dancing and mingling. It was the ASUSF sponsored Aloha Dance in honor of the Freshman newcomers, and Hawaiian shirts and dresses were the order of the evening. Ray Fazzio, Chairman of the dance, had overlooked no means of insuring a great time for everyone and a 1 a.m. check room scramble was the only unpleasant note of the evening. Prince Charming Arrives Position of the Soldier at Attention The second week of October was a busy one. It was labeled Junior Week and was highlighted by three events. The first was the Junior Class Banguet at the Montclair Restaurant in North Beach. Though the site was far from being what you would call sumptious, the attending third-year men didn't let it faze them. The following three nights saw the College Players presenting their first pro duction of the year, Tennessee William's tense drama, "The Glass Menagerie." A newcomer to the campus, Tom Hamil, walked off with starring honors and Frank Riley, in a minor role, proved that there was still another side to his versatile nature. Bringing the week to a close on Saturday night was the traditional Junior Prom. Two hundred couples filled the Peninsula's exclusive Sportsman's Lodge for an evening of the forced gaiety invariably brought on by formal attire. The males drank, talked, and tugged at their stiff-fronted shirts; the females drank, gossiped, and tugged at their strapless formals. Everyone claims a good time was had. A Foghorn columnist claims that close to five thousand dollars was spent by the two hundred couples for one evening's entertainment. The following weekend, USF put the mixer shoe on the other foot and threw a return dance for the women's colleges in the school auditorium. As usually happens when USF throws a mixer there were more girls than boys, thereby producing a guantity of frustrated females and satiated males. In spite of the unegual ratio, the smoothest student dance band produced by USF in many years convinced all that the Dons should hold mixers more often. The band was under the leadership of Al Garrigues and provoked a large degree of its popu larity by a heavy leaning towards Stan Kentonish dance arrangements. If any thing, the boys were a little on the "bop" side. But October was more than just a time of dances and parties. It was the time of the annual student retreat and it marked the opening, of USF's first intramural football season. The retreat took place in the third week of October and ran for four days under the inspired direction of the retreat master, Fr. Andrew Boss, S.J. It enabled students new and old to get their values and aims set straight while the school year was still young. Following the concluding Mass of the retreat was the inaugural game of the intramural football league. Several hundred fans crowded around the side lines on the athletic field—renamed the "Don Bowl" by the Foghorn—and watched the Loyolans salvage a one touchdown victory from the Ignatians. It was a beau tiful sunny day and Senior Dick Domeno amused the fans with his facetious play calling and half-time ceremonies over the p. a. system. Alter that, the games followed at the rate of two a week. October concluded with the science department's annual Halloween Dance in the USF auditorium. An informal affair, it was a whopping financial success. Over five hundred persons jammed into the small, inadeguately-proportioned auditorium. This unusually crowded atmosphere hindered real enjoyment and a few outsiders found their way into the dance with trouble ensuing. As a result, it was this dance that brought a long-standing, though latent, problem to a head. Something would have to be done to control the size of dances held on campus. Over-large crowds in such confined guarters could only lead to trouble. The Executive Council subseguently passed a motion limiting the • "•;••; -.,.;••• ••.•'•• "».

And to eliminate the presence of "crashers" student body cards would henceforth be reguired for admission. Two weeks later found a group of Sophomores putting on their annual Soph Drag that, up to dance time, looked as if it were going to flop. But, as things turned out, the affair made expenses and even 'cleared several dollars profit. The Drag was staged at the old Bellevue Hotel located on the edge of the theater district. The Bellevue was a last minute substitute for the Meadow Club in Fairfax. The Marin establishment backed out on the original agreement after a Cal frat tore the place apart one night. But the Drag was reasonably enjoyable and tuxes and formals were given a good airing, so it wasn't a wasted night. The Foghorn began attracting a bit of attention along about November. The first six issues of the year had been tabloid size. Students and faculty alike pro tested loudly at such an unimpressive news sheet. Finally, the old size was re stored with a bonus width of one extra column over the previous year. Then, in the Spring, the Foghorn went beyond everyone's expectations and expanded to a big six pages a week. November also saw the renaming of the "barracks" for outstanding alumni- Up to then the student residences had only been numbered. The buildings were given the names of Benedetti Hall, Fisk Hall, Telesmanic Hall, and Gill Hall. To most students, however, the halls remained simply "the barracks." For that's what they had been, still were, and would always be. November's third week saw the College Players round out the semester drama schedule with a highly-humorous production of "George Washington Slept Here." Old-timers Betty Bennett and Dave Devincenzi were the leads but it was a slightly-built, unknown Junior who drew the bravos at the end of the last act. Little Joe Bellan completely stole the play from the other principals with his side splitting interpretation of a slow-witted rustic. A week later the ROTC department broke down and let the cadets wear their uniforms for an evening at the Presidio Officer's Club. The occasion was the yearly Military Ball. Everyone had a good time, but the unaccustomed khaki added a sober, thought-provoking note to the night. Then, on the first day of December, the long-awaited basketball season got off to an inglorious start with a close decision to Stanford. But the loss didn't hinder enjoyment at the "little" rally dance arranged by the ASUSF as a warm- up for the California game. Thrown in the vast confines of Seaman's Union Hall, the dance didn't seem too crowded but there must have been a few people on hand for the receipts for the one evening totaled an amazing two thousand dol lars. The next night the hoopsters took their romp over to Berkeley where they lost Number 2 in their ultimate seven game loss streak. Over that same weekend a well-intentioned, but anemic, Homecoming pro gram limped through its pre-arranged paces and then guietly slinked off to a suitably dark corner to wait another year before venturing forth again. Every one hoped it would regain its health by that time. The 1952 social season came to a close with the staging of the Rose of Deltasig Ball at the Mark Hopkins Hotel during Christmas vacation. This affair brought to the foreground the second of the school year's trio of gueens. (The first was Tense moment at Eugene Rip Van Winkle the Queen of the Military Ball.) The newest Rose was a lass by the name of Dee Hardy. She happened to be a student at San Francisco State College, but nobody held it against her. 1953 opened with the Senior Class Banguet the evening of the last day of final examinations. A large turn-out of students and faculty imbibed the proper spirit and succeeded in properly launching the schedule of graduating-senior events. A half-month inter-semester vacation then followed until Spring registration got under way the first week of February. As the semester opened the eager pre-legal students called themselves barristers for an evening and really had a ball. A five-piece band rocked the pile-supported floor of the bayside Ariel Club during the four-hour-long Barrister's Ball. It served as a perfect warm-up for the following weekend. Mardi Gras! It was big, it was colorful, and, above all, it was highly successful. The February weekend saw over 2000 people swarm through the five northern rooms of the Fairmont Hotel with 1500 of the total accounted for on Saturday night alone. Two big name orchestras provided the music; three thousand dollars worth of prizes were awarded during the two nights; and an enchanting Lone Mountainette, Mary Heidt, reigned over the affair as "Queen of the Mardi Gras." It was undeniably the high spot of the year. As February drew to a close, attention shifted to the Don basketballers who were wrapping up their season. In guick succession they suffered their first league loss at the hands of San Jose State, a week later lost the season finale to Santa Clara, and thereby settled for a tie with the Broncos as CBA champions and forfeited all chance for an NCAA bid. Things were rather guiet the next few weeks but the Frosh Fandango broke the Lenten solemnity in the middle of March. The site was the traditional Empire Room of the Sir Francis Drake Hotel. As has been happening for many years the Fandango was the most successful of the year's formal dances. But the year was rapidly nearing its end. The remainder of the social calendar, was in honor of the graduating Seniors with the exception of an ASUSF-expense- paid picnic for the entire student body at Adobe Creek on the 27th of April. That same month the gigantic Senior Ball exploded at the Corinthian Yacht Club over Marin County way. The largest formal turnout of the year was a fitting "Bon Voyage" to the June graduates. And that's just about it. May was mostly a last minute rush to finish term papers get ready for exams, and make preparations for the summer. Sunday, June 7, was the formal close of the school year 1952-53. Two hundred Seniors in black gowns and mortarboards crossed the stage at the War Memorial Opera House to receive their diplomas before a full house of families and friends. For them college days were over. They would go their separate ways—some into the Army; others into business—a little wiser, a little more mature than when they had entered USF in the Fall of 1949. Regardless of what they had learned or how much they had learned, they were certain to carry with them a satisfying memory of a great four years in an even greater University. To them we say—ADIOS!
