WALTER EDWARD BARNEY Baihiior nf Science Milfcird, (onru-iticiit l'ro.«l Fnim the <)u.Tiiu, old New Eiiglaiui town of Milford, located on the Connecticut shore of l.on;; I>land Sound, there came to Catholic I'niversity in the fall of 1927 a youth who has risen to the hi<;hest oHice in this land of C. V.—President of the graduatinK class. "Walt", as he is familiarlv known on the campus,, is a quiet but not retiring fellow, who by his jjenial smile, his excellent \\it, his pleasing personality and his manifest sincerity has quite walked away with the campus. It was just another case of the Caesar type—he came, oh, well, \(Hi know the rest of that story. Despite the fact that he has carried one of the hardest couses of study here, Walter has been an excellent student and rates hiph scholastically as he does socially. Looking at the social side of his career, he has not missed a thing. Just like the St. Louis Blues, there was no dance complete without him. "Walt" is going to get his NLD. in the near future, and we do not hesitate to predict for him the greatest of success. He has a way of getting to the top. The best of luck, "Walt", and come back often to vour Alma Mater. 30 ^CABIDlALk.

Once again we have that rare and happ\ combination of an outstanding scholar and leader of extra-curricular activities. Frank's scholastic standing is the envy of us a'l for despite the prodigious scientific schedule which he undertook, his name was always to be found among the students with honor ranking. As a meinber of the editorial staff of the Tn--aer, Ben's proclivities for journalistic work stood him in good stead and it was a delight to read his interesting contributions. With these qualifi cations it is hardly necessarj' to expound the reasons for his important position on the Cardinal staff. From this one might gather that Frank confined himself to his studies, but despite this heavy program he has found time to devoi,- himself to athletics with the result that his untiring efforts were awarded by his being made manager of basketball. Nor has Frank been lacking in the social graces. In that part of campus life he has taken an active part. Frank has decided on a teaching career and we know that success is sure to crown his en deavors in his chosen profession. 31 i .^|[AIDJD1NMBW„. I III *"•' EUGENE T.

Despite "C>ene's" heavy social program, he never allowed it to interfere with his studies which have always been paramount with him. He has an enviable scholastic recorrl.

On a (juiet day in February, during the "lull lusine'-s" immediatel\ following the semester examinations, there burst into the C. V. campu comet of unknown f|ualities, Rocco Bla:-i, known to us all noAv as "Rock." There could not be a more fitting name than Rock to give tliis youth who has been literally a tower of strength, a very Gibraltar to the football team,' the boxing squad and the baseball nine. He has become a three-letter man who has won our hearts as surely as he has won his "C." He is fair to a superlative degree, so is he friendly. Easy-going, with that feeling of security and confidence that makes a man become an idol, Rocco has become a leader on the campus. Class offices and the captaincy of the boxing team have been his, and never has his fellow students' trust been misplaced. He lea\-es us as he came to us, with honest\, integrit}' and friendliness. Vet we see a feel ing of sadness in him, and we in turn are reluctant to see him go, Rocco our lone three-letter athlete. 1151311 .-Jl[Al]IWALk.._ EDWARD JOYCE BRODERICK Bathelor of Arts \\':i^irnigl JII, District ol (oluinliia Iiilernali.ilial ll.-lalions Society (.1, 1): Clee club (1, 2). Four \ears ago Edward Broderick came to the Catholic t'niversity of America in quest of higher knowledge after having received most of his previous schooling in England. During his stay at the I'niversity we have found him to be a rather ([uiet and reserved iliap, speaking only when occasion demanded, yet possessing a plenteous reserve of keen wit and a a deep appreciation of the humorous. He tlecided to live on the Campus at the beginning of his Junior year and thus we have been still more taken by his prepossessing appearance and affable disposition, although most of us have never become intimately acquainted with him. After four years of association with ''Brod", as he is usually called by his friends, we all admit that it has been a real pleasure to have had his friendship. We hope that his success out in the world will be not less brilliant than it has been here. It is with sincere respect that we bid him :blieii. n 513II , JEREMIAH STEPHEN BUCKLEY Bachelor of Arts Bridgeport, Connecticut Freshman Basketball; Varsity Basketball (2, ;i) ; Utopian Cluli; Fieshman Baseball. After completing his secondary education, "Buck" or "Jerry" as he is familiarly known de cided to take a sojourn in the business world. During this time, "Jerry" acquired much knowl edge in the ways of the Avorld, and it was this experience w;hich has enabled him to become one of the most level-headed men on the campus. "Buck" won the hearts of his fellow classmates immediately. He has held various class offices. Ahvays a high ranking student, "Buck" has not, however confined his activities to the classroom. He had become famous on the basketball court until an injury forced him to leave the field of active competition. We have no doubt that a person of "Jerry's" calm, quiet, and industrious character, plus his business sagacity, will have little trouble in becoming eminently successful, in his future en deavors. These sterling (jualities have always been manifest in his every enterprise and are bound to reap a well-deserved reward. In conclusion, let it be said that "Buck" is truly a man ai.d a real, sincere friend who will be greatly missed. We certainly believe that he will conquer the \vorld as he has conquered us.

Even at this early stage of his medical study, no break or in cision, whether major of minor, can phase him. With a clear eye and steady hand he goes forward. Paul has the inost disarming smile on the campus, a characteristic which will be of great service to him in his chosen field. His congeniality has given him a high position in the student body. His earnestness and dependability are best illustrated by what he has done for 11 Circolo Italiano. His share of work has never been too great and he has served on many committees during his four \ears at C. V. We have no fear about his future. His firmness of purpose, his unselfish service and his keen power of deduction are bound to place him high in his chosen profession and in the eyes of all who (leal with him. To you, Paul, we wish the best. 36 a Jm. I[ AI UN A IL m^ PHILIP MICHAEL CARMODY Bachelor of Arts Painesville, Ohio "Tower" Staff (1, 2, .3, -I); Paeiola Society; International Itelations (Tul>: T-^i-eshman Baskctliall. Out of the Indian-infested wilds of the thriving stockade of Painesville came the one and only Carmody. He became known to the campus at large as "Phil" and to his intimate friends as "Cozy" or "Doughbags"—two names which, in a wav, do him justice. As all of us know, we are bound to meet up with all t\ pes of men—men of various temperaments and abilities—in college. It is within the walls of college that we came to know a fellow, and to see him not onl\ as he tries to be but also as he is. It is in such circumstances that we judge him; herewith we set forth our verdict of Philip Carmodx'. "Phil," during his stav at the I'niversity has proven himself to be a man of the highest calibre. He has always conducted himself like a gentleman, and with his nice, ([uiet, even de meanor he has left a deep impression. He has never forgotten his friends when there was a good show in town. His neat appearance, his (juiet dignity, his charming personality and his unselfish attitude have placed him high in the esteem of all who knew him. "Phil" has attained honors scholasticallv, rating among the first five in his class. He has also been an important cog in the "Tower" machinery since his freshman year. We his classmates, salute this true son of Ohio and wish him all the joys, good luck and blessings he so deservedl\ merits. "Phil," may success be \ours. 37 .•ilEAPDlNAik.. "ji— '«" JOSEPH F.

He embodies that to which we all aspire, the personality of a vivid gentleman. He is a colorful man, sincere and whole-hearted in all his undertakings. None can accuse him of indifference, for his joy of living, and the kick he gets out of life, create his generous enthusiasm, bounded only by his good taste. Mentall\, morally and physically he is capable. With his ability for keen tliscernment, sharp distinction, delicate perception and cutting phrases he fears no adversary. His learning added to the crafty thought of a clear, careful intellect places him in the division ni honor students. Morally, Joe is carefree. That does not mean reckless. It rather distinguishes him from those who wonder concerning their rights more than their duties. His religion, innate sense of the proper and knowledge of matters of men keep him a clean, upright person. It is impossible to speak of Joe in other than glowing terms. Careful judgment and a deeply rooted, bubbling sense of humor discount all attempts to term him pretentious or over-bearing. Saying farewell to Joe there is no need to wish him "Luck" or "Godspeed," just "remem ber us." 38 rAlDIDIINAIL^ §m. rm. lie ilJ..JI !.. ~ f^V.I*".

Bill Connor has made himself well kno\N n on the campus for his many activities, but more especially for being one of the famed rh\thm twins. He has a sincere love for music well evi denced by the interest he has shown in it at the University. How many of us while confidentially expounding our theories on death, pestilence and C. U. food, have not hesitated, floundered and been put to rout by the quick, cool thinking logician! Bill has never been troubled by classroom difficulties for if he had not studied the particular lesson on which he was <|uizzed he could draw from his store of information and build up by logic the correct answer. A strict, clean sense of morals and an understanding appreciation of his religion have en abled Bill to govern his life ideally. Yet, he is a happy-go-lucky fellow with the added grace of no small modicum of common sense. Upon graduating. Bill will study law. He leaves a group who hold him in highest admira tion, but he will without doubt be admired by any group to which he might belong. It is with keen regret that we say adieu to this worthy gentleman. 39 .^ [AIDJDW AIL m_„ RICHARD FRANCIS CONNOLLY Ihuhelor of Siicnce Salem, Ma'.sachusetts Trnnsfeired from llol.e cross in his Senior Year. Wc h:ive onl> had the pleasure of knowing Richard Connoll\ for one year. Last fall he lr;insferreil to ('. U. from IIol\ Cross {'olU-ge. Since his arrival here "Rich" has won our praise and admiration. He came to us with the reputation of being a bear cat in class football, a fine track man, a member of the double cjiiartet nf the IloK Cross Cdee Club, an accoinplished pianist and a brilliant siudciil. lie has upheld all of these accomplishment, on our own campus. Furlher news has sifted through from Worcester to the effect that Richard was chairman of the lunior's Reception to the freshmen, which, we understand, is (|uite an honor. It also seems that Dick aspires to the "sa\vbone" profes ion and Dame Rumor's busy tongue tells us that he is to studv abroad. \\'e honestly feel that if ever \ve should be stricken with a dread malady, such as tonsilitis, we could have great faith in Dr. Connolly's probing scalpel. Although we have only known your good-humored companionship for one year, Dick, we feel that we are losing a fine friend and we all join in wishing you a brilliant future. 40 II 51 3 II AMINALk_ NoRMAND WILLIAM COSKER Bachelnr of Arts Hartford, Connecticut "Tower" Staff (4); Baseball (2. 3, 4). "Hy, 'Brud', what is going on tonight?" A familiar greeting to one of the campus social lions. "Norm" Cosker. He is known by the two names mentioned above. When he is not with his brother, Ed, then you may call him "Brud", but if you call him that when Ed is near, both will be sure to answer. The solution is quite easy. "Ed" and "Norm" are twins. Up to their twelfth year they had to wear tags so that they would not get mixed up themselves. They still claim that thev can keep each other's dates. "Brud" came to us in September, 1927, full of vim, vigor, and vitality. He must own the fountain of youth, because, despite all the energy he has consumed, he is unchanged in his peppy, delightful ways. His frank, open smile, his manner of fitting into all situations, and his undaunted desire for the beautiful have all contributed to his success, scholastically and socially. His presence has graced every social function for four years, and his "You wouldn't kid me, would you?" has been an important part of every major hull session at the University. "Norm's" natural thirst for facts, his inquisitive faculty, his good nature, and his "never out" philosophy \vill stand him well in his future undertakings. "Norm", may you ever be blessed with health and happiness. 41 ilEADIllNAiLk JOSEPH A. CUNNINGHAM Bachelor of Arts New York, New York Basketball (t); International Relations Club. Tr.insferring from Holy Cross and arriving in our midst for his Senior year, the time Joe spent with us was all too short. However, almost immediately, he was one of us. Afternoons would see him cavorting about the par-terre in front of Gibbons handling the pigskin in a dextrous manner for the glory of the good old Senior class. Evenings would see him in his room expounding on the merits of the short story. Or, to be specific, his short storv, for Joe was numbered among the "literate" whose poems and stories oft appeared in print. In class, Joe Nvas persistently among the leaders, and his avid interest in the study of medicine should carr> him far in that field. We hope we haven't given the impression of the perennial bookworm, for such was not the case. If you had the good fortune to visit the gym and see Joe hold down the forward position on the \'arsity, you would see an athlete of no mean ability. Holy Cross' loss was our gain. Best of luck, Joe. 42 II5I3II [ADIlALk. vail ' ' ' ' ^^^^^^^^^^ —^iffw ARCHIE PAUL DANOS Bachelor nf Arts Denver, Colorado President Sliahan LiehatinK: Society (3); Rem isentative National Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest (3); "Tower" Staff (1, 2); Inti'iiiational Relations Club (1, 3); Paeiola Society (1, 2, 3). The West has sent many ardent students to this intellectual melting pot, but there is none to wh^m she may point with more pride and satisfaction than Archie Danos. Four years of in timate contact have revealed to us his sterling character; he is a coinpilation of intellect, am bition and dependability. Archie's unswerving and tireless lo>alt\ to his class has won him a permanent place in the hearts of all. The successful accomplishment of all tasks entrusted to him was successfully as sured. His eloquence and executive ability won him a position on the Debating Team and finally the pre idency of this society; his efforts did much to establish the prestige which the team attained during the years 1929 and 1930. He is far ahead of most of us in regard to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. He fully realized the purpose of his coming to this institution and consetjuently has spent four years of zealous application for the more serious things of life. His friendship is eagerly sought and his company always appreciated. Beloved by his friends, praised by his superiors, and respected by his enemies, he has prac ticed principles that will lead his adventurous spirit to one beautiful fruition; a long, an hon- ( red and a useful life. The highest tribute \ve can pay him; the personification of a true Catholic gentleman. +3 II 51 3 li ^. l[ A ID ID IN Ai M_ JOHN DEL VECCHIO Bathelor of Arts Ilarllord, Coniieclicut II Circolo llaliano; Inleinatlonal Kelalions Club; Paeiola Society. l^ridgepnrt, t'onn., ;il\\;i\s :i ln\:il s|i|)porter of the cause of Catholic University, has again preseiUed us with ;i lo\al smi, jihn Del \'ecchio. During his st;i\ lure John luis li\cd both in the dorms and in the city; but no inattcT where his residence has been, his heart has been on the campus. John is blessed with a gracious man ner, a kind disposition, a clear mind, a sincere heart, and, may we mention it—a Dodge sedan, vintage of 1924. He is enrolled in the Coinmerce group of studies and a glance at his record shows us that John will ha\e little trouble in getting his desired C.P.A. He has been a clear thinker and a willing worker. John has not confined all of his acti\ities to books, however. Whenever there were places to go and things to do, he was right there on time, full of energy and good humor. Bridge and long talks appeal to him more than anything else, and ver> modestly he claims to give Mr. Lenz lessons in the art of no trump bids. John, it is time to part. Take with you the knowledge that we will miss you and that we wish you Good Luck. II 51*31 II '"^1 -"^ L. ALTON DENSLOW Bachelor of Arts N\'ashington, District of Columbia Senior Advisor of I'lii lOta Si.^nia; Candiclati- U This finest of gentlemen is to those who know him the epitome of everything that a college graduate should be. Although a Day-Hop, there is nothing adverse in the appellation for Alton has been a staunch supporter of the I'liixersit^, not only in extra-curricular activities but in the class room. Indeed, for his scholastic work, he has the highest average in the class. He \vas appointed senior adviser to Phi Eta Sigma. This truly remarkable scholastic record was made not in an\- snap courses but in some of the most difficult in the University. We need only to mention (iennan. Logic and Latin to let yen know what manner of man he is. 'Fo enumerate a complete list of Alton's virtues would retjuire too much space. He is a fine fellow and a hard worker in everything. Alton is bound to make good, if his life at the Uni versity can be taken as a criterion. 45 II 51 3 II .^ [AlDIDINAIL a_ DANIEL PELLETTIERI D'ESOPO Bachelor of Arts ILinlord, Connecticut Football O. 2. 3.

He pla\s and works fair and hard with never a thought of personal gain, but always of Alma Nlater. "Dan" is our greatest exponent of a plugger. Reverses have only made him more determined to conquer; successes have only macie him more desirous of accomplishing greater things. Scholastically, "Dan" has a good rating because he has carried his determined fighting spirit into the classroom. Socially, he has never taken a back seat. "Dan" has not decided upon his future career as yet, but we have no doubts about his success. A man of his character just has to get along.

The most striking among "Lennie's" man\' sterling characteri:.tics is that of dependability. His word is as good as gold. More obvious than his dependability, however, is his friendliness. I.ennie is fortunately endowed with that divine spark which enkindles within the breasts of tho:;e who come in contact with him, the flame of true real affection for him. Lennie's magnetic personality holds fast his many friends, for Lennie is never subject to fitful storms of temper whose sweeping rains wash away the attractive coloring of personality. He is studious, punctual, and regular in his habits. He is a man of high principles. This statement needs no qualifications, because -when it is said about Lennie, it is as true as it is broad. His interests were chiefly of an acadeinic nature, and to each of them he lent his ability and time unstintingly, and with fervor.

(1, 2. 3, 4); Pennsylvania Club (1, 2. 3, 4). Cyril is a member of that famous team of Catholic University steppers—Dietrich and English. It will be a sad campus without them next year. Cyril is a quiet, retiring youth who think plenty, but says little. Although his utterances are few they always bear weight because they mean something. It is an art to say what is what when it should be said. Don't get the impression, however, that he is solemn. Far from that. He always has a happy countenance, a quick smile and a snappy "Howdy, men." Cyril came here for an education and he has successfully passed the most difficult courses in the curriculuin. What is more, he took three courses because they were stiff. The mystery of it all is, when and where did he study, or did he learn by osmosis? He was ahvays willing to go out. Although Cyril was not athletically inclined, he has taken part in many interixiural contests which is only another example of his fine spirit. We have come to the crossroads, Cyril. Goodbye and Good Luck. 49 ..^^JLAMlAik. ADRIAN HAROLD DONAGHUE Bathelor of Science M.-ih.inoy Pl.iiie, Pennsylvania Adrian "Cootie" Donaghue is another of Pennsylvania's own lads who has come to C. U. to help prepare himself for his life's work. He is a fellow who is liked by everyone who knows him. .Also he is one who can take care of himself under nearly any circumstance, and is always ready and willing to give a helping hand to anyone he can. "Cootie" when he first came to C. U. was undecided as what to prepare himself for in the carr\ing out of his life's work, but in his Sophomore year he finally decided to take up the noble profession of medicine. He is undecided where he will study medicine, but he thinks he would like to attend the University of Pennsylvania for his further studies. "Cootie" is one who likes good "bull" sessions, as they may be called, every once in a while, but he also finds time to get his lessons in a very creditable manner. He is also known for being one of the well dressed men on the campus and if one wants any dope on what's being worn these days, he is one of the men to see. Now as the days of our University Life are coming to a close, it is necessary to bid you all the success that is deserving of such a fine friend and classmate through our four short years at the I'niversitv, and to wish you all the luck and happiness possible in the coming years. Try and remember the good times you had with your classmates of C. U. 50 II 51 3 JOSEPH WILLIAM DUCIBELLA Bachelor of Arts Danbury, Connecticut Glee Club (4 1. From the cloisteral walls of the seminary to the wide open spaces of the Catholic University campus is a great change for any aspiring student on the highway of education. But with a ready smile and cheerful spirit "Duchi" soon adapted himself to the life of the University. Imbued with his ancestors' love for music Duchi lent his melodious warbling to the Glee Club chorus, but whether on or off the campus his voice launched on musical ( ?) flights to the azure realms. It was Duchi's neighbor Cunningham who was most unappreciative of the songster's efforts. Indeed, men on the campus on seeing Cunningham would whisper, "Poor fellow, he has a lot to bear." Being a true son of the Caesars, Duchi co-operated heart and soul in the advance of II Circulo Italiano. He did much to advance the organization. Scholarship, however, was Duchi's forte, years in the seminary had given him the habit of studying \vhich one \ear at Catholic University was unable to erase. This scholarship was of the highest calibre and his fluency in languages will be a great asset in his chosen career of teaching. With an honest heart and lofty spirit this youth will travel far, a noble love at last to gain. 51 -ilEADMNAik-.

From that romantic Cuba, in the sunny Caribbean, there came to old C. V. all the fine (]ual- ities of manhood woven into one person—our good friend and pal "Al" Fanjul. In his four years in the Brookland school, Al has made many coiuiuests in the scholastic field, the baseball diamond, and among the fair damsels of the Capitol Citv. Naturally he has a love for Cuban Sugared delicacies, being especially attracted to a certain "Loly" bon-bon, a rare and delightful sweet—a trait that he ac(|uired during the interim between his Junior and Senior year, ^'ou have our sincere admiration for such a desirable habit. Maybe we're jealous, and maybe not. Al's travels around town have carried him to "'oodles and 'oodles" of place, but the memory still remains of the little girl near the Reservoir who wrote "No me olvides." Tell us about it, Al. As a member of the Junior Prom and the Cardinal Hop committees, his presence was fea tured by his tireless efforts to serve. Dynamic energy-plu:. was the secret of his success in selling the boys the pasteboards. No doubt Al will succeed his father as a big entrepreneur in Havana, and in all his under takings, if we were to take his accomplishments at C. V. as a criterion, we would say that suc cess would be his. That cheery smile, that (piick tongue ever ready to coin ne\v collotpiia'isms, that personality, all will be missed but \ve are expecting to hear and see big things in favor of our pal and this will in a very small way compensate our loss.

He has alwavs been near the head of his class scholastically. Socially, he has sup ported all campus affairs. Proms may be beautiful, balls may be enticing, hops may be alluring, but to "Jim" there i- nothing like a good class banquet. It is at these last affairs that his keen sense of humor and his delightful tenor voice have been outstanding. His knack of harmonizing has placed him in inany a musical setting. His favorite hobby is reading good literature. "Jim" has not decided upon his career but we feel that his easy manner and his cheerfulness will bring this son of C.

So it \vas with Will. There was no task too tedious, no labors loo exacting to faze this blue-eyed lad with the sober countenance. Will has reveled in extra- curricu'ar activities since his matriculation. His econd greatest pleasure in life was working for the betterment of campus activities at Catholic U. Will's idea was to put studies first, extra-curricular activities ;.econd, and recreation third. However, it worked out that the three were woven together for in both his studies and campus activities he found his recreation. The t^lee Club ha.- prospered under Will's direction, because he made an excellent executive. It was in his freshman year that Will first came to the notice of the campus, because of his unusually great interest in long walks around the bend. The bend and the University are both going to miss Bill next year and Bill will miss them for he has been a true lover of both. 56 SI 31 1^ tact IHCI li DllNAik JOSEPH JOHN GIALANELLA Bachelor of Science Newark, New Jersey U.

His ready wit, his willingness to help others and his general good disposition made him welcome on all occasions. He has discovered the art of living, is a critical judge of work and leisure and is appreciative of wholesome pleasure. He possesses the happy ability to turn ways and means to his own end. He is blessed with common sense, a gift that will insure success. Joe's outlook on life has given him the knack of accomplishing the thing which many could not possibly do. Extremely versatile, he could take a fling at social life and cram for a quiz all in one night. Nevertheless this close appli-::ation to ^vork and to play has made him a full and capable inan. When he graduates, Joe intends to take up the stud\ of medicine; where or in what special field he has not yet decided. His sincerity will make him remembered at the University long after many others of the class are forgotten. 57 II 51 3 II JEAlDIllNAiLk STANISLAUS FRANCIS GLAUDEL lltit hi lor of St It net .\I;ili;inoy City, Pennsylvania Tennis Te.im (2, 41; Vlcc-l'resldeiit Schiivlkill iiiiilN of rciiiis\l\ ania club; ^l•lllls^•l \'anla State Club (2 3, 4).

He is thinking of attending the Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia. "Stan" is a fellow who is a little hard to understand at firstbu t after you know him he is a very fine fellow and a true friend, willing to help wherever possible. He is a "square shooter." Even though a transfer "Stan" has come to think of C. U. as his real Alma Mater and the fellows at C. U. as real friends. But the reparation of friends must come to everyone on the graduating from a university and we wish to him all the success in the world in his future work and schooling and the general happiness of a person who is a hard worker.

His winning smile and ever cheerful disposition, his constant readiness to be of assistance Avherever assistance could be offered soon established his reputa tion as a good fellow and true friend—a reputation which the ensuing years only strengthened. Jim has in his four years taken an active part in athletics. In basketball he scored remark able performances and won his major "C" in this sport. Over and above the qualities mentioned, Jim is a student. He plans on studying medicine.

"Frank" matriculated in September, 1927, and sooii became popular with the da\ students. It was some lime later that the campus as a whole began to appreciate this (|uiel-manncred, (|uiet-\-oiced, undisturbed Washingtonian. His classwiirk first brought him to the attention of the students, and they rightfully decided that this freckle-faced youth "had the stuff," if we may use campus parlance. "Frank" possesses a (juick brain and a keen wit. His <|uiet retorts are often more effective than a loud bellow. His willingness to assist another in difficulty has endeared him to all his classmates, and his thoroughness in his work has placed him in high regard among his professors. We do not fear to predict great success for this local boy. In parting, we wish you health and happiness. Gtxid Luck, "Frank.

New Haven has never sent us a more illustrious son than "Lou" Hurley, scholar, athlete, and good fellow. As an athlete, "Lou" has been our leading pitcher on the baseball team for four years. For two years he was an excellent football man. Since his matriculation he has developed an ex cellent game of tennis. As a scholar, "Lou" ranks among the first five in the class, an honor that is greatly appreciated by many. As a good fellow-, there is not a better exponent in the entire class. His ready wit, his win ning smile, his love for fun, his desire to please, his ability to lead, his careful execution of the most trifling detail and his go-getting methods have branded him in our hearts as a real C. U. man, a friend to be proud of, a pal to use as a model. "Lou" missed two school dances during his entire four years. He went home for the Thanksgiving holidays once. After that he got himself a girl in Washington. "Lou" is going to Yale La^v School next year, and we know he will succeed there as he ha: here. The best of luck to you, old boy. 6i .^[AIDIDWAJLM^ F^ENRY DUANE LA FLECHE II i: Btichelor of Arts Old Forge, New York i:diloi-iblcf "Caidiiiiiln •; idiall 111; .Mall.agcr F sliiiiali Basi-liall r.',) • .\ews Kdltor "Tower" |2I -\lnmni l-Mitor "T'owcr" 121; I>raniati<- -\ssoeiation, Treasurer (31 Allciniitr- SMidcnt Reprcseutat i (II; "C- Club: Sccrelary First Indoor Track .Meet Committee (3) Sojilioiiiorc Supper rialice Committee.

Duane is deceivingly sober-faced, possessing a quick brain, a subtle wit, and a winning smile. He is energetic to the pcint of tirelessness. A man of these characteristics must of necessitx, rank high as a student and in the eyes of his fellow students. Duane does. Duane has a decided predilection for journalism. His chances of success can be ably judged b\ this book and by his connection for three years with the school paper. All work and no play is bad for the normal man.

"Don" is a well-known figure on the Catholic I', campus. He is just another good man from that famous borough in the Naugatuck \'alley of Connecticut, Naugatuck. In true Naugie spirit "Don" has demonstrated his loyalty and integrity. "Don" is quiet, retiring and modest—when he is in the arms of Morpheus. He \vas a famous member of that great team, Rady, Rad\, and Linske>-, that so ably functioned as a social unit during our first t^vo years in Washington. "Don's" work in club and campus activities has labeled him an energetic worker and a well- wisher. He has no such thing as a tale of woe, whatever calamity may befall him. He is supremely social and generally makes known his presence with a sagacious saying and a chuckle. His claim to fame is that he has been fooled by the frivolous fingers of fate and deluded b\ the delirious digits of destiny. Although "Don" has not announced his plans, we should not be surprised to hear of him studying law.

We might mention here that Frank himself has a wonderful build. To describe him best we have only to say that Frank is good nature personified. His genial personality has placed him high in the esteem of his fellow students, and on several occasions he has been elected to fill important class ofHces. Scholastically, Frank is one of that famous five that ranks at the top of the class. When Frank has the time to devote his faculties to the solution of the student's problem of carrying those massive law books, undoubtedly this fatiguing practice, the bane of his existence this past year, will have been completely eliminated. He is going in for law in a serious wav, and from his past records, we can safely predict success for him in his chosen profession. He has a deep interest in modern literature, but is far from being a book-wnrm. He has the faculty of keeping from extremes in all that he does.

It did net take "Dick" long to build up strong, lasting friend ships, and his happy smile is a welcome to everyone. "Dick" possesses another quality which we must mention—that of frankness. This (juality goes with his quiet nature and when "Dick" is frank, he is constructively so. He is most conscientious in his work, and when he gets a thing, he has it for good. "Dick" will not say what he intends to do in the future, but we expect as much from him in the business wiirld as from his brother in the legal profession. 68 II Mi Ji li ADDINALk..

But his is an attractive personality, one that breeds confidence. This is evidenced by his great popularity at the University of Detroit where he was in both his sophomore and junior years president of his class. There too he was active in extra-curricular activities holding many positions of honor. He is the kind of man that both Catholic University and the Class of '31 are glad to have join them. By deep dark methods the Cardinal was able to get these thoughts on him bv one of his friends: "The red-headed he-man from Detroit, he came here not because he was fired from there but due more or less to the influence of the four famous sisters of Brookland. Attractively pleasing, cheerful in his ways and always in a hurr\. Take your time boy you're still voung." That in a word is Ed.

He has an "easy going" naliire that makes him easy to get along with, that makes him well liked. His idiosyncracies are of the most pleasing sort and they have won him campus renown. He is a huge, fine-looking fellow; but what is more important: he has a logical, thinking, analytic mind. He is free from the great fault of snap judgments, because his reason dominates all his thoughts. "\'innie" has seen to it that his four years at the University were interesting, aside from studies. He has, indeed, done some great things on and off the campus. "Vin" leaves us without any definite plans for the future; but his ability to think quickly, his personality and his smi'e, \vhich breaks like the sun at dawn, wiU get him to the top.

Scholastically, \vhile not of the brilliant type, he typifies the steady plodder who can always be relied on to come through a course in a very successful manner. Insouciance, that was his chief characteristic, nothing could bother him or disturb his placidity. Yet with this he had a startling sense of humor.

Making friends with evervone was just as easy as splashing his way up and down the swimming pool, ^'et Duke's motto wa" "Conservatism." Never was he heard to use a superla tive, though they must be used in describing him. We must net forget his skill at bridge. He is one of those geniuses who can fathom your plav before you begin it.

Jim is vvithoiit a doubt the biggest man in the class. It took about one day to discover this fact and we still hold that Friar 'Fuck could never in his balmiest days have held a candle to our "Tiny." In more ways than one Jim exemplifies the adage that "Big men have warm hearts." Hij is the essence of jolly, rollicking good nature. He claims that a laugh a minute will add more weight than a steak an hour and that it is just as effective as an apple in warding off the doctor. Jim smiles for breakfast, laughs for lunch, and convulses for dinner. His great love h tennis although he has tried his luck in football and basketball. Jim has been consistently a good student. He plans to study laiv, and while he has not decided where he will matriculate in September, we know that wherever it may be and Nvhat- ever it may be it will be better for having Jim. 7^ II •JS _J[AJDDIHAlLk_ TIMOTHY PAUL O'CONNOR Bathelor of Arts Walerliur\, Connecticut Fresbiiiall Cla.ss \ice-1're.sid, nl : l-'rshm.ill Footliall.

Yet if we look at him in another light he is much the same as when we first met him. His hero is still Richard Halliburton, of romantic journeys fame; his aim is still to dexelop himself into an example of the higher culture. "Tim" is in spite of all his external manifestations of the ultra-aesthetic, a regular fellow, a true friend which is much to be said of any man. His classroom work, while never spectacular, has been that of a slow and steady plodder, carrying on with that pace which makes the grade in all pursuits. In extra-curricular activities, "Tim'' has been ((uite active. In his Freshman year he played in the three major sports, but since then due to an injured knee has been unable to participate in collegiate competition. For three \ears he xvas a member of the "Tower" staff and a candidate for manager of track. For a time he dabbled in campus politics, but they failed to hold his interest. "Tim" expects to follow the life of the honest citizen; we wish him luck. II 513 II ADDlNALk.

"Wad", who had seen much of this man's world before he came to C. U., first became a prominent man on the campus during the frosh-soph flag rush of his Freshman year. His days before the mast now were greatly in his favor, and it is a tale that goes down in school history of how he rescued the '30 flag from the top of a greased flagpole. "Wad" is a restless individual who must be doing something, but once occupied his work was done thoroughly and competently. These characteristics have marked his extra-curricular activities. He is a superb story-teller and is our edition of the man who caught the biggest "fish." His greatest (iesires are mystery stories and the "Bend", the latter being, of course, nothing less than a living mystery of C. U.'s main street. "Wad" is going to enter the business world after his graduation, and we feel that his thrifty nature and keen foresight will place him high in his field in the days to come. 75 WILLIAM MICHAEL O'MALLEY Bachelor of Arts Springfield, M;issachusetts Track Team (1); ttlee Cluli ill: Inlernallollal Relations (.Tub (1 41; Paeiola Soclcly (1, 2 3); Chair man Sophomore Itancjuel; .Student Counc-il (3); Chairman Lltoplan Ball (4); V'icc--Clialrman Com- menc-enic-nt W. ek Committee*; Stuch*nt Representative (':{j. .\s long as our "Bill" keeps away from Hollywood, the great William Haines is safe; other wise Haines will become nothing more than a pleasant memor\. "Bill" is one of the best liked men on the campus; his snappy retorts, his desire for fun, his :ippreciation of a joke and his laughing manner have all had a place in the everyday life of all ot us. Where he is, there are always many, when he speaks there is (piiet, and when he stops there is bedlam. .\nd all the while, "Bill'' remains unmoved except for the sparkle in his eyes. There is a serious side to his nature also. He realizes that there is work to be done and he does it carefully, completely, and irreproachably. When he writes "finis" to a task, rest assured that no more can be done in the matter. His execution is so nearly perfect that he holds a place among us as being on more committees than anyone else for our four years. Scholastically he rates good, socially he is second to no one. .\ success in all he has done, a success xvith his friends and associates, a friend who can stand any acid test—this is the man whom, sorrovvfully, we watch go back to Springfield. "Bill", we will miss you. 76 II 51 311 EARNEST JAMES PARENT Bachelor nf Science Washington, District of Columbia In transferring from Georgetown to C.

This quality alone has made him respected by his co-workers, for he not only gets himself out of man> a classroom "traffic jam," but he is always ready to help and aid his less fortunate brothers, who de:~pite hours of study, just can't seem to get "the stuff." Characteristic of his family, Ernie is a shark at any stud\' in the course. How he does it, is beyond the comprehension of all who know him.

He missed nothing, in any respect, during his collegiate career. His was participation in :in\lhing of worth, and support for everything and everybody coming to him. A friend indeed for one in need. Ed has always been cheery, affable and blesed with a very likable per- sonalitx. His zest and witty flavor will be missed from the campus when he goes out to show his diligence and cleverness to the world. Fhere are some persons, the loss of whose ccimpanionship is a distinct b'cnv. It is this way with Eddie Quinn. We have liked and appreciated him and have eagerly looked for his ar rival each September. The student body will look far and wide before it finds one to fill his place. 78 [AMINAik..

And thus we introduce to you the man without an enemy, the friend of the entire campus, the spirit of democracy incarnate. "Bill's" initials "W. A. R." belie him entirely. It is hard to realize that so much Christian charity could be had by one person. Kindness, cheerfulness, thoroughness, exactness and polite ness fail to fully describe "Bill" to one who has not met him. With a song on his lips and a song in his heart he has oftentimes braced us up and literally dragged us out of pessimistic moods and ill-tempered moments. As a student, we cannot recommend a better example. For four years he has assailed the most difficult courses in the University. He has never given up ; but plodding steadily forward, he has contpiered all that has stood in his path. It is in this fighting spirit that we see the adaptation of "W. A. R."; it is this supreme offensive that has justified these three letters. "Bill" is an excellent draftsman, and the neatness of his work has made him the example of all students in any course of this nature. We do not know what he will do when he leaves us, but \ve do know that what he does will be well done. Ckiodbve and good luck, "Bill". 79 Jl[An]I]iHAlLk WILLIAM AUGUSTUS REILLY Bathelor of Arts llavcrstraw.

For four years he has continued in this friendly fashion, and we feel sad to think that his heartiness will no longer be a part of us. "Bill" has attained man\ honors since he has matriculated. He has earned his "C" in foot ball, basketball, and baseball. He was a member of the squads of the two latter sports and manager of the former. His spirit can be shown by recalling the fact that in one football game, "Bill" donned a uniform and played when a series of injuries had reduced the ranks of the team. He is a fighter, through and through. There are no half-way measures in his song of Alma NLater. He has given his best, \^'e realize, we appreciate, we commend, and we broadcast it. "Bill " has not confined himself to athletics, however. He is a diligent student as well as a participant in all C. U. affairs social. His athletic tendencies lead us to believe that in the noi-too-distant future "Bill " will be renowned as a builder of men and teams. 8o JAMES DOUGLAS SHEERAN Bachelor of Science firooklvn. New York A young gentleman arri\ed (ni(ibtrusi\el\ on the campus one fine fall day in 1927. He stepped from his cab, paid his fare, looked slowly around and (juietly ascended the steps of Al bert Hall to the office of the Dean of Men, where he just as quietly registered as James Douglas Sheeran. A few days later he became known as plain "Jim.'' Three w-ords can best describe Jim. He is (luiet, generous and steady. He is not the spec tacular type of individual who tries to attract attention but by his very air of gentleness and ([uietness one cannot help but notice him. He is respected and admired by all who know hiiri and he is loved by all of his intimate friends. It is not an effort for Jim to be friendlx. His smile is spontaneotis and its happy effect is felt wherever he goes. Jim's weakness is automobile;s. You know^ the old song, "Crazy over horse-power." His motto is "an auto a year keeps down the upkeep." He must be right judging from the suc cess he has had with his cars. Jim has conscientiously passed his pre-medical course and plans to continue in medicine next year. 81 il il 31 il il 'mm.l mm.% ml FRANCIS LEO SHERER Bac/ielor of Arts ('leveland, Ohio C.b-e Club il); Are blli-ilural Society (I): "Tower" Staff (1); Iiramalic- Assoriation (4); Conlinal Hop I'omiulttii- (4i; lihiei Stale Club.

I'our years of University life and work have developed latent characteristics evidenced by his precise and correct maimer of expression, his refined manner, his power and habit of reflection. This de velopment has been continuous throughout his four years at the University. "Bud ", as founder and first president of the Ohio Club, has guided the society into channels that presage for it a long and useful life; as a member of many dance committees he has will ingly and unselfishly contributed his time and energy; as for his social activities, his pleasing personality has carried him not only on the campus and around the bend, but also into many a debutante ball via Washington's Blue Book. "Bud" is well regarded as a true gentleman. 82 II 51 3 n OWEN JOSEPH SULLIVAN Bachelor of Science Fall River, Massachusetts Phi Kapiia (2, 3, 41; Conimene-emeut Week: Committee. Owen Sullivan is not at all the usinil Fall Riverite, nor is he the ordinary Massachusetts type—the blustering, etc. Quiet, retiring, and model he is the acme of unobtrusive helpfulness, of loyal and low-voiced service. At the firstimpression , he might seem almost subdued, so gentle and demure is his aspect, but this is not true. Owen is alert and bird-like, and the more ef fective because he is seen not too often under the rpotlight. Scholastically we find our good friend soaring in the clouds with the brighest minds of '31. He has always applied himself to the tasks placed before him as if they were the mo.t tastv viands. He has a firm sense of responsibility. His chief contribution to the University and to his clas- has been in the capacity, as the record of his activities above indicates, of—let us say—master-mind. Fertile invention and ready resource have marked his executive abilities. Also, as a follower of the great parlor game of bridge he is the C. V. rival of Mr. Lentz. The essence of tact, "Sully" has always been blessed with the faculty of summing up a sit uation in a handful of clever words, and the combination has proven to be most effective. One can not think of him without thinking of a smiling comment, which leaves a pleasant taste of jovialness personified.

U. as his Alma Mater. One must be intimately ac(|uainted with Dean before he can understand and appreciate him. His attitude is never presumptuous or overbearing. And he is always persistent in his views and consistent in his endeavors. But most of all we love his gentle cynicism which we found to be a cloak for a warm and sympathetic heart. His personalit\, good nature and keen judg ment forecast uidimited success in future life. Dean is a scholar who loves literature and who draws from it a personal and inspiring phil osophy of life. With the passing of years the memories of men who have played a part in our lives stand out more clearly. They hold firm places in our affections.

When the Cla:.s of '31 returned in the fall of 1928 for its sophomore year, it found that among the new transfer students was one Robert Swords from St. Michaels College. He was naturally soon known as Bob, and was soon very popular with all his new actiuaintance.,. In deed at the close of that academic year he was rewarded with the honor of being elected sec retary of ;he cla:;s for the en uing year. That \vinter he developed into a re iable basketball pla\er, just missing out on the requirements for his varsity letter by a few points. Scholastically he rates second to none, in campus affairs he stands high. Great things are expected from Bob when he graduates this year a,; he is expected to enter Law where he will without doubt give further evidence of his ambition and winning personality. A clear thinker, he should have success in his profession. True he \vas once accused of "intel lectual chaos" but then look at the accuser.

After his graduation here he expects to go on to a medical scho il and become one of the leading physicians of the country, and there is no doubt but that he will go far in his line of work, as he is a very capable man in whatever he tackles. Besides taking a great interest in his school work, he has always been able to find many places of amusement and relaxation after the day's or week's wurk is done. I'or, as we all know, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." "Tut" (er "Dr.," as he is often called by his friends, is a square shooter, and wishes satisfaction to be given by himself above everything else. And as he is a person of this so desirable char acteristic, he likes to be dealt with in a like manner. One of his chief hobbies is a stroll with some of his friends before he settles down to the evening's work, and if it is the lovely spring weather, a ride through the surrounding country is enjoyed.

From the well known and notorious wilds of Maine—Kennebunk Beach is the name of the town—comes this true and loyal son of C. U. For congeniality, determination, and good nature, it would be hard to find an eeiual. John or "Jocko," as he is more familiarly known to his closest associates, is of a retiring nature, but in spite of all this his friendliness to everyone has made him well liked. As a student Jocko ranks with the best men in his class, and is one of those few students that can see beyond the mere superficiality of words. A gift fit for the gods. In his spare time, he is a familiar figure around the never ceasing bridge game in the Phi Kappa house, and is known to be a "fish" at cards—to be specific—a shark. Jocko did not develop into one of the famous C. IT. social lions, whose superiorit\' is to be seriously (luestioned. For that alone he deserves great credit. If personality can be taken as a meaMire of success, we know that this product of the "Pine Tree State" is more than half-\va> to his goal, and his sterling qualities will win for him an enviable place in whatever field of endeavor he may care to associate himself with.

With a philo:-ophical mind he delights in battling with his own deep thoughts into the ultimate causes of things. Sincerity is certainly his greatest virtue. Because his mind runs to philosophical thought rather than the usual shallow thinking of the undergraduate he has been wondered over, the majority of the student.; have not understood him. When one comes to kiuwv Vin he finds him a delightful friend, he is generous, kind and above all considerate.

He has shown more than common interest in the development of the younger men in the department. A man with such energy and with only twenty-four hours a day to use it has little time for the lighter things and thus John's circle of friends, though small, has been well chosen.

He came nut of it smiling. That characterizes this gentleman from Buffalo. He is always willing to fight for what he thinks right. If he is beaten in the struggle he comes out smiling. If he wins he accepts the honors gracefully. As president of the Class of '31 in its junior year and again as business manager of the Cardinal, Pat has shown his ability to direct works of others and accomplish much himself. He possesses the rare ability of being able to carry things through to their completion, and has added to his work, as a spice, the bite of real humor that makes him a genial companion. Pat's career is to be in the field of engineering. His success is assured, for not only has he an attractive personality, but he has been an excellent student while at the University. A mighty clever fellow, indeed, is this Charles James Hennessey. 98 il SI 3 li .-JCAIOMNALk. FRANK CHARLES KRAUSS Bachelnr nf Mechanical Engincerincj Washington, District of Columbia A. S. M- E.. Treasurer (31. Frank's nick-name, "Abie," is not an abbreviation of Abraham, nor does it imply any facial or characteristic resemblance to persons bearing the name "Abie." "Baby" minus the first letter equals, phonetically at least, "Abie." That is how Frank was nick-named. We often hear accounts of "men about town" but seldom meet them. "Abie" is one. He knows the city and its environs by heart and many of us have been partakers of his good times. Frank refuses to be serious outside the class-room and has the happy faculty of being able to drop cares and worries when most of us are walking around distraught. Frank is a mechanical engineer, and a draughtsman of talent. His four years at C. V. have put him above his colleagues as a leader in mechanical design, the field that he intends to enter upon being graduated. When we look back over our university days we shall see "Abie" as a man of determined actions and as a student, but principally as a lover of fun, an ardent sportsman and a man who can laugh at life. In all sincerity, we wish you good luck, Frank, and hope that the years find us numbered among your friends. 99 ICAMlNALk.

'I'ransferring to Catholic Univer sity from the Universitv of Pennsylvania in his sophomore year this bundle of energy from the coal region entered upon an exacting course of :tudics preparatory to a degree in Civil Engi neering, that with persevering integrity. His constant, tire'ess efforts in this respect are now fully rewarded and we feel confident that the same success which has attended his ;,cholastic endeavors at C.

Three years of intimate association with Paddy have revealed a nobilit) of character, a Icisal devotion to dutv and a generosity of nature unparalleled in our experience. That these tvhole- soine characteristics are discerned and appreciated by his classmates is attested to by his election to the presidency of the C. I", chapter of American Society of Civil Engineers. We are richer because of our association with Paddy; we are grateful for his untiring and whole-hearted co-operation in every deserving cause. V/ith regret do we anticipate his leaving cur midst but we are assured by the record of his past accomplishments that a full measure of success awaits him in whatever he undertakes.

PARENT Bachelor of Chemical Engineering \^\^shillgton, District of Columbia Early one September morning four \ears ago a short, bloiul-hnired \outh with a winning smile and a natural, nonchalant manner strolled from Brookland town to the office of the Dean and calmly enrolled in the Chemical Engineering course. The Dean gasped and started to say something but paused and thought—what's the use—and he is so young! The years have rolled blissfully away beyond recall. Many have gone. The blond-haired alchemist is still with us, blithely passing the hardest course in the same nonchalant manner that is peculiarU his own. Relatively few of the men of '31 were privileged to know Paul Parent with any degree of intimacy but I, the writer of these humble words of tribute, wa:. among the fortunate ones. During the ordeal of several chemistries I came to know him and found him first a charming companion, a true friend, and what augurs most for his future, an extremely capable chemist. His career lies in the field of chemistry and those of us who know him predict a verv bril liant and successful life of research and experimentation. ^[AMWAlk„ ROBERT LESLIE PRAETORIUS Bathelor of An hitcilure Washington, District of Columbia Senators' club (_'. 3, 11; Swlnimiim Ti-:im (1, 2, :Jl.

His humor has been the dread of many since he has the uncanny gift of being able to probe into one's character and applv pseudonyms that are most appropriate, but often embarrassing to the hearer. Our fondest memories of "Doc" will be that he is a man of thought and of disarming good humor, a man who can take, as well as play a joke. Because of his willingness to help others, "Doc" has earned a place in the heart of each of his friends and will be remembered by us as having an exceedingly sunny disposition ; a student and a friend. 104 II 51 3 II MICHAEL JOSEPH SHEEHAN Bachelor nf Architccturt 11 !•; Baltimore, Maryland Art Editor of "Cardinal"; Art Editor "Tower" (3); Vice-President of Athletic Association (4); President Abbey Club (4); Football (2); Swimmliis (1. 2, 3, 4), Captain (31; .-\rehitectural Society (1, 2, :l, 41; Commencement ^\'eek Conrmittee. Gifted with a talented hand, a quick and intelligent mind, and an amiable and engaging personality, Michael Sheehan came to Catholic University to study architecture. He soon im pressed all by his ambition, his willingness and intense application to work and by the success of all his undertakings. This fellow has real genius and raises the standard of the class a great deal in that respect. Mike seemed to be always busy. Not content with a hard scholastic program he chose to engage in some of the most difficult activities. In athletics he distinguished himself in football and swimming. This book shows his work and excellence as Art Editor of the Cardinal, with out him the book would have been of lower calibre. In class affairs Mike was always a leader serving on the supper dance and junior prom committees and as a member of the commencement week committee he designed the souvenir programs of the week. Mike will achieve fame some day, a man vvith such talent and genius cannot escape it. 105 1151 NICHOLAS WISTAR SMITH Bachilor of Electrical Engiiii ering W:isl;ingloii, DistricI of Cciliiiiibi.i .\ new l;ice w;is present in the lecturi rooms ot the electrical engineers in sophomore year.

Hi- cheery "Good morning" and "Adios" will be remembered long after school days are gone. But "Nick's" sunny • ide is often overshadowed by his more serious self and the man wh(/ can dissuade him from his vvork or studies must be more than insistent and persevering. His days at C. U. have been devoted primarily to study and he has trained himself to concentrate jnost fully on his work, and thus he often succeeds where others, less studious, have failed. His na ture is one of a fighter and he will not give up a task if work and brains can complete it. But "Nick" has balanced his studies with college pleasure by attendance at most of the dances and sporting events held by C. U. and has always given loyal support to campus activities. Hi; friends know him to be a student above reproach, a fun-lover and most cif all, a true gentleman, a worthy son of the South and a credit to our Alma Mater. io6 II 51 3 Mall igw EDWARD FLORENT VAN FiAMONT Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering New York, New York Secretary Dramatic As.^oeiation (2); .A.

After some time, we found out that he was "Ed" van Hamont, a person whose sole reason in coming to C. U. was education. In his ([uiet way "Ed" has now our admiration. At the end of our Sophomore year we felt sad when we learned that he was to transfer to Louvain University on the European continent. He remained there for one year, and, gladly have we welcomed back this youth after his long absence. The keynote of "Ed's" personality is industry. This, coupled with his amiable outlook and his breadth of intellect, has placed him high in our ranks. Dependability to the extreme—if that quality possesses an extreme—exemplifies "Ed." "Ed" vvill always be remembered by the members of this class. His willingness to help, his sober opinions on almost any subject have made him a sought-after man. "Ed" intends to become one of the world's most successful mechanical engineers, and if the past is the prophet of the future to even a small degree, then we can assure ourselves that he will reach this pinnacle. 107 _J[AMINAILk.

Up until the \ear 19J9, Sargent had shinvn aggressiveness that was not always backed by sagacitx. In the year, however, he proved himself when he transferred to C. 1 . from that ven- er;ible militar\ school in Old \'irgiiiia, \". .M. 1. .And by the wa>, his first name is not a title he earned at the military institute. He c:ime to us with a fine scholastic record, and he has continued his work here in the best of st\le. His home is quite a distance from the University, and when Sargent has a "night" with Louis Crook he had to get up at six to get out here on time with his four. The numbers seem to be even all around and that is one reason why our blond Virginian is a "math shark " Sargent, being a dav-hop and a distant one at that, little of his social activities have come to us. His name is oft mentioned, however, in certain sorority circles in Alexandria. We tan more than surmise the reason because by the fine manner with which he has made friends at C. U., he has made them vvherever "old Henry" took a notion to have motor trouble. Sargent has chosen civil engineering as the means of swindling the \'irginia farmers. We know he will be most successful as an engineer. .Ml the luck in the world, Sargent. 108 11 51 3 II Ex-Members of the Class of 1931 THOMAS BECKET J. I.

It ushered in an era of common sense. In 1927, when the class was freshman, leadership in extra-curricular activities was a matter of politics alone; the class of 1931 has remedied this, not by takitig such matters out of the hands of politics, but rather by adjusting politics so that they would lead to good results. The proof of this is apparent to anyone wdio has watched extra-curricular activities in the past four years. If we glance through the list of achievements of the class we will find certain events that are outstanding. First is the Sophomore Supper dance, the greatest social event of its year. It, too, showed no financial deficit, indicative of a new feeling, responsibility and, at length, sense in the individual University man. So, too, with the Junior Prom of the next year. This affair was characterized by dignity, inherited in a measure perhaps from other years, \'et ha\ ing the distinctixe touch of the Class of 1931. "The Tower", no longer is it considered a humorous magazine, its policies have been well directed and have in the most cases achieved their end. The Dramatic Association, the Glee Club, the Debating Society, all show the results of the common sense era inaugurated by the class. dreat political campaigns have been waged, camjiaigns that would have in terested e\en the famed Beatt\- and S^llli^•an of other days. These campaigns were, howe\er, clean and did not result in the use, to any great extent, of the spoils system. This, then, is the heritage of the Class of 1931 to future classes, a clean-cut, and smoothly running scheme for conducting extra-curricular acti\ities. The class leaves it to the other classes with the hope that it will be carried on, that extra-curricular activities may grow vigorous at the Catholic University. The Class has witnessed great changes in the University, has seen it wracked by growing pains. In 1928 Bishop Shanan, after ser\-ing well for many years, ,_ill[ACDlNALk- resigned as Rector of the Uni\ersit\'. His place was abl\ filled h\ the present Rector, Monsignor Ryan. Twice in the last four years the academic system and courses of sttid\' ha\e been reconstructed, resulting in the present idea of having a College of Arts and Sciences, School of Kngineering, School of I,;iw. and ,T sepaiate and distinct Graduate School. Each of these schools was made stronger than before, the School nf Law taking perhaps the longest stride in the direction of strength. In the field of athletics three distinct regimes ha\e been witnessed. Ihat conducted by Charlie Moran was followed by a regime under John B. Mac Aiillifle which in turn gate \va\ to the present leadership of .Arthur J. i^ergman. Each change was necessar\, and each ch.tnge led to growth in this department. The achievements of the class have been recorded, the ch.inges in the Uni- \('rsit\ (hi (iiuclcd, the toiiii.il lustort of the class is done. \'et there rem.nns to be told w belt is to the iiiidergradu.ite his greatest lo\e—exeryday lite at th" University.

PO(H' old commerce depaitmciit, it li.is been changed in the senior year of the class of '31 until there is nut ,1 single cla.ss 111 the department in which the sleepy weck- ciulct c.in fade mto Moriiheus's arms. It must ha\e been fate that the class came into existence at the very time when "Country Cdiih Lite" under .M(ir|iheus I was first becoming an institution of the campus. Indeed, Morpheus was no more than a lusty infant when '31 arrived attitred in its freshman green. The class has watched with interest campus life as portrayed b\ the successors of thisfirst Morpheus , the greatest of them all. Morpheus, in the senior year of the class, was alas rather infantile, his mental life seemed to be retarded and the column showed that he never passed that stage in life that your dear aunt would call girl crazy. The class of '31 112 sighs in remembrance of the lustier and more masculine Morpheuses of former years. The bull session has occupied an important place in the life of the class, theories have been given out, opinions passed and dogma formulated in these sessions that would make the intelligensia bow to the superior minds of the college campus. More wisdom has passed from the fence of Gibbons Hall than from all the class rooms of the University, tales have been told that would make those of Paul Bunyon fade into nothingness in comparison. Many a wierd and marvelous experience has befallen the members of the class, events that equal the traditional ''banner e\ening" cf Trigg.i of other days, and the drop of handkerchief game of one Paul Sai?o. All these things have developed each member of the class, some to a great extent, some not so much, but many a lad who arrived at the LTniversity childish and with the personality of a boiled egg is now fit to occupy an outstanding place in any society. Many years from now the class men of '31 will look back at all of these happenings and compare them with the doings of that future generation. Those men will murmur through their beards "things are not the same as when I was at the University" and then recount some fantastic tale of his doings there. But he will be wrong, student life will always be much the same at Catholic Uni versity for the spirit is bred into its very walls. "'OC^ 113 II 51 3 I!

The Junior Class The Cla.ss of '32 may be rightly termed one of the most unusual, but most renowned of all classes that have entered the iiortals of Catholic Uni\ersit\'. At the birth of the present Junior class, two very imposing events took place: the beginning of the rectorship of Monsignor James H. Ryan and the dedication of the Mullen Memorial Library. These events are treasured in the memory of all loyal sons of '32. It is with a sense of deep regret that main members have since been lost tii the class, the largest ever to enter the I niversity. 1 he ball tli.it remained have ciiricd on and UKUIC histiiiv wiirtln ot any class.

Alumni, facult\, and e\eii iinkiKiwii outsiders have remarked on the whirl wind historv of the cl.iss of i<)32. Starting oft with a bang, the freshman football team romped through an undelc.ited and iinscored-on season that resulted in the biiniing ot tmsh caps and the discarding ot ticshman green before '1 h.Tiiksgivmg d.TV'. After he.Tted elections, the new 1\ iirganized class chose the black iind or.Tiige of the I'liiiccton tiger to be the .ippi (iprl.Tte class color, as vv(dl ;is the symbol of acliic\ eincnt (it its lamniis athletes. .\n cxti ,1111 diii.iiA ticsliiiiaii li,iiu|uet li.Ts been tdllowcd In tliicc snccesstiil vc.iis in all lu.iiiches of I iii\crsit\ lite. I he nun of ' ]2 have not conhned their efforts to the field ot sjiorts, but have entered evei\ phase of college life; extra-currictiLir, schol.istic and social. The I'ower, (^ilee Club, Debating Societv' and ni.Tiiv other campus organizations have benefited bv the presence and accomplishments of students of the Class of '32. The sociallv inclined members of the class lost no time in ac(]iiiring rc|iutati(ins as lovers of the life or merely as lovers. 1 111' "greatest Suplionuire Sujiper Dance ever held" will be long remenibcred as the lust given b\ C. L'. ever to grace the ballroom of the Mayflower Hot(d and the first to ever present music of the calibre played by "Whitie" Kaufman and his band. The Junior Prom of this class lingers pleasantly in the memttry ot all who attended. The class inspired by scholastic achievement, undertook the formation of a chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, national freshman honor society. With this encourage ment, the men of '32 have acquired still greater recognition of their scholastic abilities. 116 II 51 3 n JEAMlMAik. Now, as the third chapter of this class history closes, one sees that the students of '32 have proved their worth by ably carrying the burdens of campus life that befall Juniors and that they are qualified to enter their senior year and fit them selves for after life. Then surely they will bring even greater glory to the University. True histories never subordinate or omit regrettable facts and this sketch, as a true record of the class of 1932 should bring out a grave fault of the class that threatened to cause its deterioration into "just another class". ^Vhile individual brilliance outshone lack of unity, it still could not a\'ert a serious blot on the class record. The conduct of the election of the class, especially that of the Junior year, while not downright dishonest are nothing to which '32 can point with pride. The cosmopolitan nature of the class naturally tended toward the formation of individual groups that almost led to the downfall of '32. But again some individuals kept the traditions and ideals of the L^niversity alive in the minds of the class. We hesitate to consider the heights to which the class of 1932 could h risen had all its original members been able to contribute to its achievements, and we merely point to the remarkable deeds performed b\' the present members of '32. Indeed, a most extraordinary class! "7 ^EAPWiik. The Class oF 1932 ARTS AND SCIENCES AMBROSE, Jniiv \'I\CENT Worc'ester, Mass, BATES, ALAS Bronxville, N. V. BKKTOM, LOUIS PAUL . .

First of all, each member of th? class possesses a deep sense of loyalty, which ex tends to the traditions ot the school as well as to the class itself. WvU do we remember a cool, clear night when, with the moon smiling upon the ipiiet campus, the class made its attempt to uphold the "Flag Rush" tradition. 'Fhe Hag bearing the class numerals was liciistcd iiist at it v\ as hoisted in the veais before us. .And, as in the vears before us, it was taken dow n. 'Hie Class of ']] also made its contribution in the held cf ath letics, showing promising men in c.u!! branch ot sports. I he toot- hall team iii the freshman vcai had a verv successful season, pl.Ty- iiig brilli.uU liHith.iII in cvciv game, .iiul iiiih succumbed once, after a hard light. Flic b.iskctb.ill team was eipiallv successful, and each m;m showed luniiiisc. Fhe h.isehall team is not t(' be left out. 'Hie fast pace set b\ the football and b.iskctb.dl teams was kept up li\ the men in bascb.ill. In soci.il ,itt.iiis, this (lass was nut to be outdone. The an- iiu.il chiss b.iii(|iict. wliuii \t .Is held at the llarrmgton Hotel, W,TS .ittciiclccl li\ the entire cl.iss, and, after a delightful evening, we turned mil" stejis t(iv\:'.icl the campus. .\g.iiii this class ludd the spotlight in social activities with the Sophonioi (• Slipper Dance, v\hich was held in the mam ballroom of the \\ arduLin Park lintel. lhis social event terminated the class activities tor the vear. It was ,-tttended by a large crowd, .iiid the comhin.ition of a delightful orchestra, delicious food, and a c(dorfiil program spread an air of gaietv over the crowd, and as a whole the evening was a huge success.

DEAN JOHN MCD. FO.V 132 II 51 3 II [AMlNMk The Law School HE CARDINAL has chronicled many changes in the L niversity, but one deserving of special attention is the reformation in the School of Law. After two years of tottering, during which it nearly went out of existence, the School of Law has been strengthened by the University, securing John McDill Fox, LL.D., as dean, and enlarging the teaching staff. The new dean has in the past year started a complete reorganization of the school. The major points of reorganization, although not all have as yet been carried jout, are, first the requiring of an A.B. degree before any student not of the Catholic University might be admitted to the Law School. This has been an important step of reorganization as it gives to the students of the University alone the privilege of taking the six-year combined arts and law course. The second step of reorganization is to be the establishment of a legal philosophy with emphasis on the Catholic philosophy of law, third to introduce courses in American Civil Church La'w, fourth the introduction of Canon law in English for lawyers not clerics, fifth the starting of law courses for graduate students in aeronautical and administrative law. The last bit of reorganization and one that will surely improve the standard of work done was the installation of an eighteen-hour a week outside work requirement. Dean Fox is a graduate of Notre Dame University, where he received an A.B. and also a graduate of Harvard Law School. Before coming to Catholic University the new dean was senior member of the ALirquette Law faculty, and had been considered for the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, his coming to Catholic University removing him as a candidate for that position. Dean Fox has said that his desire in regord to the Law School was the turn ing out, within the next ten years, of many Catholic lawyers \vho besides being good lawyers would be real Catholic gentlemen and a credit to the University that gave them their education. His work has been watched with much interest by both the undergraduates and the alumni. It suffices to say that they are well pleased with it. 133 ^CMmMAJLk. The Senior Lawyers ORN dead! This, alas, has been the sad fate of the ^' l;iw class of i 134 5! 3! 11 The Senior Lawyers CONSTANTINE BELFI, JR. PHILADELPHIA, PA. "Babe" received his pre-legal training at Catholic University. After his graduation he plans on taking the Pennsylvania Bar exainination so that he may practice in his home state. WILLIAM ALBERT BOROWSKI WHATELY, MASS. "Bots" also received his training for law school at C. U. While in the I'niversity, he dis tinguished himself in extra-curricular affairs, being manager of baseball in 1930 as well as being an important cog in the Tnvuer machine. EDWARD J. COLMEY ROCHESTER, N. Y. Ed has been a scholar of the first rank in the law school. He will no doubt practice his pro- profession in New York State. EDMUND B. COSKER HARTFORD, CONN. A student, pure and simple, although he has found time to participate in some extra-eiirrifular activities. ANTHONY DEPOTO EAST HAVEN, COSN. Tony is another man \vho recei\'ed his training for law school at C. F. and remained to receive his LL.B. BERNARD J. MCDERMOTT PIllLAIlELPHIA, PA. "Bunny" is a great man. I'he number of his friends shows this. He is one of the old guard at the University having received his .'V.B. here in 1929. RICHARD L. NOVAK VVASHINGION, D. C. "Dick" is a mighty fine student. Can more be said for any man? ANTONIA E. PAPALE I'OLCROFT, PA. "Tony" is a recent transfer to the University. However, he has already made a name for him self in the law school and it can be readily seen that he is headed for success. JOHN F. ZUMMACH .MILWAUKEE, WIS. John arrived at Catholic University hand in hand with Dean Fox. He has onlv been here a year, but already the whole campus knows that he is a mighty fine fellow. He is the most cheerful fellow in the world. Doesn't even grumble when the "tickets" are running bad. 13s .-jil[AMlNiLk- The Junior Law Class I here is .a time-w mil .iiiii lii^lil\ icspeclcd s.iviiig tli.il history moves 111 cvclcs, liiit like .ill prcsimipt mns nl l,i(t it iiia\ he Tcbulleil by evidence to the ccinliaiv .uid this cxactF .iiid piccTsclv is what the l,.i\\ (.'l.iss ot l').^2 has done.

In dividii.Tlity ot expression, ch.aracter, protcssional .aid and courtesy to each other were dominant i|ualities inherent in each nuTiiber ot the class. 1 licsc i|ii.ilities combined have m.Tcle for the success of the groiij) as a class :uid each one as a member ot the grouii. Much (il the credit tor the success of the class must go to the dean of the school and his ;issist.ints who in attempting a complete reorgan- i/.ition undertook an exceedingly difficult task. Ihc Junior I,aw Cla.ss is proud of having in their own way facilitated this change. F^ach mem ber labored and strove to make the task of each professor easier and to make him proud of having inculcated in him the learning and ideals of their profession. 136 II513B The Freshman Law Class "The pioneer class of the Fox regime" is the uiiiiiue record held by the Freshman Law Class of Catholic University. Having enrolled in the Law School in the Fall of 1930, this talented aggregation of scholars pursuing the legal pro fession were greeted by F)ean J. McDill Fox, and their plan of procedure for the coming year was outlined to them. F^ean F^ox, who last year replaced the late Judge DeLacy, is a graduate of Harvard Law School, and has introduced introduced into the C. U. Law School, some useful and practical innovations. The class of '^3 will be the first class to graduate with the full benefits of the novel ideas of Dean F"ox, and it is expected that they will most surely develop from embryonic law students plumbing the confusing depths of intricate legal problems, into most successful lawyers soaring the heights of enduring prosperity. The members of this class, under the leadership of ^Ir. Lawrence J. Hart- nett, have individually promised to do their utmost in preparation for their work, and to cooperate with the members of the faculty insofar as they are able. Dur ing this, thefirst year of their career, they have well carried out their resolution, and are well on their way to success. They will be well remembered by those who know them because of their aptitude for work, and their cooperation in th • field of social endeavor.

For the first two \ears Ed was a quiet unassuming chap who permitted others to handle the various extra-curricular activities. He scrutinized and analyzed each undertaking and when it was time for criticism he voiced his criticism as a man, fearlessly. T'he members eif "Stu dent Row" knew him best. On becoming a Junior and entering the law school he broadened socially and his dignity, sincerity and friendly smile were irresistible, so that now many can claim him as an intimate friend. He is brilliantly studious, and the ease with which he disentangles perplexing legal problems is astounding. In the short space of four years C. U. has done its work well with this blond-haired boy and we are assured that Ed will successfully complete his life's undertaking, showing the same spirit and sinceritv that has characterized his endeavors at C.

Would that we could find words to express our admiration, esteem and appreciation of this true gentleman. From the start, Jerry has given evidence of potentialities of human effort. His zeal and perseverance received their just reward when he was unanimously elected to the Stu dent Council by the Junior Law Class. Jerry is one of the most popular men in the University. He has a gentle disposition, a win ning personality, an abundance of humor and a wealth of good common sense. His activities have been numerous. For two years he was a mainstay of the basketball team and has always been active in other phases of extra-curricular activities. Next June Jerry wall without a doubt be receiving his degree in law. May he earn fame both for himself and for the University in following out his chosen profession. Jerry will be here next year, and promises to act as a one-man reception committee to any of the class re turning. 139 -JCMDlNAlk- EDWARD D.

One of the most active and most popular men on the C. U. campus. With these few words one gets an idea of the character and calibre of "Eddie." .Athletic prowess, energetic leadership and conscientious scholarship are the cpialities that have endeared him to all «ho have had the good fortune to know hiin. .As an athlete, "Obie" has always justified the faith placed in him by his coaches, his stellar line plav having been just as much a feature of every football game as has been his -terling defensive work as center on the basketball team. -As a leader of campus activities "Eddie" reached the pinnacle of success. His magnetic perstinality so asserted itself that he was overwhelmingly elected president of the Freshman Class. "Fhe following year he represented the Sophomore Class in the Student Council. Eddie then transferred to law and for two years has been his class president. Thus "Eddie" has had the uni(|ue distinction of having been a member of the Student Council for four consecu tive vears. Despite the heavy schedule of extra-curricular activities, "Eddie" has capably acted as presi dent of the Omega Chapter of Phi Kappa fraternity. "Eddie." as the time draws near for us to go our separate ways, it is unnecessary to wish you succes- in your future profession, because the world is waiting to be enriched by such a capable gentleman. i+o II 51 3 0 #.:•'<;' Ah, my Be!oye?3 full the Cup tHat dean Today of past R«9 Myt«tf ^iw Vestftfifey's Sev'fl ''•t Thousand Years. ssiHT >ioo8 -lA bnfi itsi^sJl keq I0 y^'^o'^ I wouoiTiof ..Y*^^ *^wonomoT The Football Team oF 1930 AiauuR J.

It was Whalen day in Brookland Bowl. Duke made three touchdowns and two extra points. The other touchdowns came as a result of the runs of DeMello, Sheary, Cuarnieri, Ferris, Bertoni, and Billinger. MANHATTAN, 7; C. U., 6 Mark this one down in the books as a game that should have been won. Captain Burke of the Jaspers stepped sixty yards for a score in the second play of the game and with a dry ball kicked the extra point. The field was literally a sea of mud and late in the third quarter Duke Whelan on a fake kick raced ninety yards for a score. It was one of the most beautiful runs ever seen at Manhattan. The point after touchdown was missed. In the waning minutes of play Johnny Lyons caught one of Whelan's passes with a clear field ahead of him. As Lvons tried to put on speed he slipped and fell in the mud, taking with him, alas, C. L^.'s chance for victory. GEORGE WASHINGTON, 18; CATHOLIC U., 13 Word cannot express this game. To appreciate the Red and Black's fight it was necessary to be at that trtily great game. Duke Whelan slice off tackle in thefirst quarte r for sixty-five yards and a score. The point was missed. In the last ten seconds of thefirst half the downtowners flipped a fifty-yard pass into the end zone and through one of those tricks of fate the ball landed in the arms of Galloway, G. W.'s end, who was at the time covered by two C. L'. players. At the end of the half the score read 6-6. The second half will live forever in C. \J. men's memories as one in which the players did everything but die for their Alma Mater. Ed C^'Brien played the whole second half with a badly wrenched shoulder. He was unable to raise his arm but nevertheless they didn't gain an inch through his side of the line. It was necessary to carry Captain Menke off thefield befor e he gave in. Whelan played the second half with a broken nose and a twisted knee. Fraatz had to be carried to the dressing room and Mullen was groggy from head injuries. In the second half G. W. made another touchdown but failed in the extra point. The Whelan passed to Sheary for a score and DeMello connected with the try for point. With four minutes to go for victory Fenlon of G. W. ran forty yards for a score and C. U. took to the air in a futile drive for a win. 147 ^[iMWAlk RETROSPECT The season VV.TS ended and marked as one of the most disastrous ones in the his tory of C.

Varsity Basketball, 1930-31 For the first time in 19 years Catholic University inaugurated a basketball season under a new coach. Harold D. "Chick" (jagnon issued a call for candidates late in November and some 40 men answered the call. The team was handicapped, however, by the lack of a center or pivot man. The close of the season showed only four wins out of the entire schedule. There were times when the team should have won and then there were times that the Cardinals were pitted against opposition which was far superior to them. "Buster" Sheary took up just where he left off in football and starred through the entire season. He was the team's leading scorer. Two men who vied with Sheary for honors on the court were Geno Spinelli and Joe Cunningham. Spinelli was at all times a tower of strength on the defense while Cunningham, who reported after the midyear, proved himself to be a scoring threat of the highest calibre. He was all there on the defense. The biggest achievement attained during the past season was the defeat of George Washington LTniversity in the Catholic Gym. Once again the fighting spirit of Catholic LTniversity triumphed over the Night School on H Street. Sheary and Ambrose led the way from whistle to whistle. It w^as Bus' pot shots from the center section that sunk the "Intersectionalists". Ambrose shone on the defense, exhibiting exceptional skill in recovering the ball off the backboard. 153 .jiCAmiNALk ()ii the tcilldwiiicr ni;;ht the Caidinals contiiiiiiel their success by defeating Diuiiiesne. 1 lie li(i\s liiiiii Pittsburgh just couldn't m.atcli oiii bins in fight, and they went down to dctcat.

It was here that Jim llaiilcv, whr; has phucd a lot of fine basketball for Catholic L niversity during his four years rang the bell from mid- court just before the final whistle. Maryland L niv ersity received one of the greatest surprises of the sea.son when they clashed with the Red and Black in the C. L'. hangar. Sheary, Cunningham and Spinelli kept the Cards in the running all through the contest. Witli hut two minutes of play remaining, the same old Bus Sheary put on his usual act. Ten beautiful long range shots tied the score and the stands went wild. At a point Oliver made the un fortunate move of trying to go into a consultation with Coach Gagnon. Meanwhile Chalmers. Oliver's man, sneaked under. II SI 1 II Tommy Whelan played a fine brand of basketball in two games. Hugie Flynn also developed into a steady pivot man toward the latter end of the season. Bill Reily re ceived an injured shoulder in the Geneva game and was forced out of action for the remainder of the season. Ed Davowish proved a valuable man whenever he received the call for service. Shallack was hampered by his height but had plenty of ability. As a whole the season was a flop. The Gagnon system won but four games out of 20. It was gratifying to watch the boys battle, no matter how tremendous the odds were against them. The blame of the team's poor showing certainly cannot be pointed out. On the court a spirit of harmony prevailed and at all times the men in the game gave all they had. Closely following on the heels of a bad season in football one would necessarily deduct that Catholic University is sinking to the lowest level in the athletic world inasmuch as victories are concerned. However, in the writer's opinion, we have passed over the last bit of depression in the athletic world. The warriors of the court have laid a foundation upon which future successful seasons will be built. Four men out of the entire squad will be lost to the school this year. They are Captain Joe Walsh, Jim Hanley, Joe Cunningham and Bill Reilly. While the loss of these men will be keenly felt the freshmen have some fair material coming up and with Sheary, Spinelli, Whelan, Flynn, Ambrose and Davowish to start with next year, we are expecting great things from the courtmen of Catholic L^niversity. 15s _j[AimALk_ Freshman Basketball 'Fhe Frosh Five although not living up to the standards of the quintets of the p.ist three vears came out on the right side of the ledger by vv inning nine and losing onlv seven games.

After that bout Joe improved so rapidly that by the end of the sea.son Coach EaFond was expecting Joe to go a long way in the Intercollegiates if we had entered. Frank Stines also fought his first vear on the Varsity. Stines represented C. U. in the 145-pound class. Frank was a natural welterweight. He is a tall, rangy youth with the natural coolness that is characteristic of all good lighters. From the very beginning of the season the newspaper men of AVasbington dubbed Frank "C. LE's classy welter," and the Brooklyn boy lived up to the name. Only once did he lose a fight. It was a very close decision ; the kind that could have gone either way. Stines has two more years of Varsity competition and he is our bet for one of the leading Intercollegiate welterweights. Uncle Jimmy Eyons represented C. L". in the 175-pound class. Jim vvas not a vet eran, but, nevertheless, he swapped punches with all his opponents in a fearless fashion. Lyons lost some close decisions this vear, but has gained the experience that he lacked at the start of the season. LaFond expects Jim to be a consistent winner next year. The 135-pound assignment was divided between Harry DKjiacomo and Basil Mar avelias. In this cLass we had the comparison of the boxer and the sltigger.

T., 'Femitle, St. John's of An- naiKilis and Cornell. 'Fhe Cardinal mitt slingers were given a tie meet at Huckiudl. Several of the decisions were real close but the boys did not alibi. From the financial standpoint Athletic Director A. J. Bergman instituted a new idea. The public was offered memberships to the Caiholic L'niversity Athletic Asso ciation and only members of the Association were admitted to the fights. Since box ing is not a legal sport in the District, no admission can be charged for fights. How ever, there was no clause in the law forbidding the sale of Athletic Association tickets to the public. i6o II 511II The individuals on the boxing team deserve as much credit as they have been given and possibly more. Of all the sports on the athletic calendar, boxing is perhajts the toughest from the standpoint of condition. The members of the team trained d.aily in the gym. When they weren't skipping rope, or shadow boxing, they we're either sparring with some teammate in the squared circle or doing their five miles of road work. This gruelling routine lasted from the first of January till the dav the team wound up its schedule with a 5-2 victorv over Cornell. "Conditioning is the big factor in intercollegiate boxing" was the coach's idea and from the results we readily agree with him. The hold-overs for the 1032 boxing team are Johnny DePasquale, Harry Di- Giacomo, Basil Maravelias, Dannv' Pyne, Ed Lennon, Bill Calabrese, Jimmy Lyons, Joe Unsworth and Frank Stines. It is not always that there is such a bright outlook for college teams but in this case there is an exceptional wealth of material and Coach LaFond, although he has said nothing in the way of predictions, is busy arranging a schedule upon which will be .some of the foremost teams in the East. Sev en bouts with nationally recognized boxing teams is the aim of the Brookland mentor. We feel that Eddie will be successful in his undertaking and if everything turns out right in the way of a winning team next year, it will be impossible for the beads of the Intercollegiate Boxing Association to leave the name of Catholic University off the honored list. 161 II SI 3 0 .-JCAilDlALk.. 162 II a 310 The Track Team of 1930-1931 DoRSEY GRIEFITII Coach R.

The Indoor Track was successful only because Richard Eng lish worked in an unselfish and whole-hearted manner. Both of these boys have earned their track letters far beyond measure and the University can \vell afford to be proud of thein. Dorsey CJritfith, completing his third year as \'arsitv Frack Coach at the Catholic University, was successful beyond the fondest expectations of the students and alumnae of our institution. We wish Coach Griffith endless measures of luck in the years to come and if Catholic U. pro gresses half as fast in the track world in the future as it has during his shnrt stay, we have no doubts as to the heights which we will attain. Captain Ciayle McGuigan could always be counted on for at least the 220 or 44c-yard runs. Gayle set a standard for the other track candidates by his diligent training and his willingness to give his all to win the race he was entered in. Vinnie Fraatz, the curly headed Soph, was a dangerous threat that Catholic U. always had in the high and low hurdles. Fraatzie was also a consistent point-scorer in the dash events. Johnny Lyons was C. U.'s fastest human. Silk vvoii many firsts in the hundred-yard dash, which vvas his special act. The strong man of the track was Doc McGrath, the Scranton muscle man. Doc made his presence on the track squad felt with many consistent wins in the javelin and discus events. He was ably assisted b}- Bingo Flvnn, who was performing for the first time in the role of a track man. "Bridge" Krick was C. U.'s entrant in the high and broad jumping events. Krick won the District of Columbia high jump in the Second Annual Indoor Meet. Phil Moser was a timber- topper of the first water. The speedy freshinan proved a big factor in the success of the track team. Other men who performed well in the distances were Ragusa, Garafola, and Farris. Of these men Garafola vvas the consistent winner in the two-mile event, while Ragusa and Farris divided the honors evenly in the mile run. Hickey was the best half-miler on the team. The other members of the squad were just as instrumental in the success of the team as these men who were considered the stars in their own events. It is not the first places that win track meets, but the seconds and thirds which add up rapidly are the deciding factors. i6s Intra-Mural Athletics One of the nianv' fine ideas that has become a realization under the regime of Mr. Bergman is the department of Intra-mural Athletics. AVhen Mr. Bergman first came to the Catholic Universitv he immediatelv saw the need of some kind of activity for those men who were not engaged in varsity or fre.shman athletics. Being a firm believer in the maxim that the youth of today should possess a sound body ,is well as a sound mind he decided to introduce the iutra-mural idea in a big way. He stated that he believed th.it the varsity teams wamld be benelited with the institutiiin of this iilan. All of the events on the intra-mur.al calendar are run off bv the coaches of whatever sport the event comes under. I'dr ex.imple, Bergman himself w.is an interested spectator at the touch Inotball games, while C'l.irk ,uid Griihth had ch.arge ot b.ascb.all games .and track meets rcspci'tiv (d\. In order to ciriv out the plan in .an elhcieiit m.inncr Bergman appointed that dviiamic hciMiiL' co.icli, Eddie L.iFond, as director ol intra-mural .athletics. The program v\ itli I'ddie ,it the ludiii (|iiickl\ beg.iii to t.tke form. T ouch tiHithall w .is the hrst league to be tormed. 'Ihe success of the enter prise n(iv\ dcpcaided on the student body. It the students would not respond Bcrgm.in and L.ilniid (iiiild do nothing. Flic two little big shots were more titan pleased ,it the turnout of the student bodv. 'Fhe interest caught nearly everv stuelciit iii the imi\ ci sitv. Not only were the g.amcs successful but there were m.any interested spectators at the contests. After the close of the football season LaI'"ond .arr.anged schedules in basket- b.tll. indcKir bascb.ill, \eiilc\ li;ili, indoor ti'.ack .and sv\'imming. The heretofore V .ic.iiit gym w.as immediately transformed into ,a human bee hive. Two basketball courts were laid out and from the demand for these two courts it could readily be seen where the students could use two more if there was room for them. The weekly swimming meets were successful from the standpoint of com petition. However, the student body preferred to criticize the basketball games vv bich were run in the gym. The class track meet was one of the best events on the program. Dor.sey Griffith ran the afifair. He was ably assisted by the manager of track and Jack Clark. With the close of the winter sport season the problem which had arisen by the dropping of baseball was partly solved by intra-murals. Seven teams were made up and entered into a baseball league. Games were played twice a week i66 and from the interest shown one could readily see that the absence of the national pastime from our athletic program was not so keenly felt as it had been thought. The baseball talent was quite evenly distributed among the league teams. Another jntra-mural league that drew much attention was the tennis league. The courts behind the stadium, which had been more or less deserted in previous years, were always in use. Indeed, so crowded were they that the need for more courts became campus gossip. The league was composed of class, club and dormitory teams. An open golf tournament to decide the championship of the school was held. There were overfifty entries. This league was organized and run off under the direction of Jack McGrath and Douce Devin. It vvas a huge success. The success of the whole intra-mural program was due in a large measure to the unceasing and untiring efforts of the two student managers, Joseph Carven and Doucet Devin. These two seniors, realizing that intra-mural athletics were a form of recreation of dire necessity in the program of a college man, volun teered to assist Mr. Bergman in putting the idea over. Carven and Devin were always on the job and Mr. Bergman and LaFond, together with the entire student body, extend to them a vote of thanks for the way in which they worked to make intra-mural athletics a success. Although we do not lead the collegiate world in many branches of athletics there are many larger universities and smaller colleges as well that would be benefited a great deal if they would copy our system of intra-mural athletics. 167 ^[AlODINALk Most Valuable Football Player Award TO LESTER H. SHEARY Through the black clouds of continued defeats suffered by the 1930 Varsity, Co.ach Dutch Bergman found one brilliant ray of sunshine in the form of liuster Sheary. "Bus" hails from Worcester, Mass., and makes no secret of the fact. He is twenty years old and weighs one hundred and eighty pounds. Sheary's athletic career started in Cominerce High of Worcester. He played three sports there. lie later transferred to St. Peters Prep of Worcester, Mass., and continued to climb to glorv in the athletic annals of that institution. Upon entering C. I', he immediatelv warn the admiration of Coach LaFond for whom he placed a bang-up gaine at fullback. He also starred on the court and diamond. It was gratifving to watch Sheary even in defeat. Never asking for any f|iiarter nor giving anv ground. Buster keeps playing on. It is altogether fitting and proper that Mr. Bergman should choose Sheary, who is only a sophomore, as the most valuable football player on the 1930 Varsity. In the writer's opinion Sheary was the line and Sheary was the backfield. Buster's fierce tackling stopped many an enemy thrust and his interference for DeMello and Whalen was superb. When we needed two or three precious yards the answer always was "Sheary will do it." II SI 31II [AMlNALk. Summary of Sports, 1930-31 The king is dead! Long live the king! ]\IcAuliffe has gone and Bergman has arrived. The old Athletic regime is dead and we wish those at the head of the new one will continue to be as successful as they have started out to be. When the mighty mite arrived here from Minnesota last fall he found little or no equipment, a seemingly hard schedule, a small handful of "would be" footballers, and a student body from Missouri, "who had to be sbowai." The Dutchman pitched right into things with his whcle heart and soul. When he wasn't teaching the Notre Dame system to our gridders, he was making his presence felt by renovating the gym and hiring capable workers. A series of setbacks and overwhelming defeats from teams out of our class did not dampen the ardor of our new mentor and the team, although winning one contest out of nine played, improved rapidly. The Cardinals mainly on account of the Ictig hours of work and practice were able to rise to great heights and push the highly touted George Washington outfit to the limit to win. With the conclusion of the unfortunate season, the Dutchman went to work on the 193 I schedule. Here he hit a snag. McAuliffe had left Bergman holding the ha'i insofar as the 1931 schedule was concerned. Only three games had been arranged bv the genial gentleman from Worcester and the Dutchman frantically set about his al most hopeless task. No matter whom we play, or how many games are scheduled for the 193 I season, remember this, Bergman is not to be blamed. Passing over the basketball season as rapidly as possible we can say that Gagnon accompl'shed little or nothing in the way of wins. Gagnon is the last of the Mc- Auliffian reign and the warriors of the iron hoops were not sO' hot. (^nly four games of the entire season resulted with C. L^. on the right side of the ledger. We did, how ever, rise to unknown heights and conquer our erstwhile traditional rivals. Thi; doesn't say that one victory is sufficient to call the season successful, so we will oass over the ruins and say, "they fought well." Now that all the sport writers in the District have had their two cents worth to say in regard to the break between .Alma Mater and the Night School on H Street, I think that it is about time I dipped my oar into the water and paddled my canoe. For four years I have watched the teams from our "traditional" rival institution try to grab a victory from us on the gridiron. .And likewise for four years we have been a real Santa Claus to the H Streeters. In '28 and '29 we could have piled up the score at will, but, being good sports, we were content to win bv' a respectable score. Finalh', they caught us in a lean year insomuch as a good team was concerned 169 .^[AlOI)INAlLk.„ and they managed to come from behind in the dying moments of plav and eke out a 18-13 win. Now they have decided to drop us from their schedule. They are going in for intersectional games. They arc high-hatting us in the athletic world. 'I hey are telling us to go chase ourselves because we are only small time stuff. Well, when thev do play intersectional games with such famous teams as Stanford and Southern Cal. it is my prediction that the year th.it thev do play those teams, that will be the year the Catholic University will have no football team at .ill. "Fhat will be the year when we will have had to disband our team because by that time we will have ac cnmplisbed the seemingly impossible and defeated the cream of the country by over whelming scores. No tesm will plav us. We will be too good. So vou can readilv see how much stock we take in this intersectional "hunk." Perhaps I can sum it all up in a different wav. Len Wal.sh, assistant coach at G. W., plaved under Bergman and Gross at .Minnesota. Good old Len, knowing only too well the prowess of the new C. U. mentors, must have related tales of their prowess to Boss Pixlee. I'ixlcc, being a rather shrewd geiit, must b.avc deducted, "Il I pl.av with fire, 1 might get biiincd," No sport wiitii 111 th.c District even iiuaitidncd this, but anv bodv, on cither sid' of the fence, will li.ivc to .idmit that the letter which .Athletic Director Bergman re ceived I mm I'ixlc" W.IS (inl\ a lliiiis\ and weak excuse to sever the .athletic lad.ations III the twci institutions.

Dorsey has developed some fine individual per- toiuicrs .111(1 at the •ame time moulded a team capable of matching points with any college in our class. Looking b.ack ever the accomplished feats of our athletes, one might readily deduct that (.'atholic University has had a bad year in athletics. The teams, at all times, showed plciitv of fight and no one athlete has ever complained about the going being too tough. There is an old saying that "a house can't be built without lumber." A\'ell. wc vv ill create a new one. Builders are necessary to put the lumber in the right place to build the house. Now that we have the builders, watch us go in the future. 170 II 51 31II The New Athletic Regime It has come to pass that athletics are an integral part of every university. Here at the Catholic University the interest in athletics had faltered and vvas slowly expiring. The authorities and student body together saw the need of an antidote for this condition. With this need in mind and with no condemnation of the old the L^niversity instituted a new athletic regime. Arthur J. Bergman was selected to lead C. U.'s athletic destinies, as Director of Athletics. His has been a difficult task, and while conditions are not as yet entirely remedied, University athletics have passed the crisis and are now well on the road of convalescence. The director has been busy during the past year in building a foundation for future athletic teams. He has paved the way for powerful squads in all branches of sport. That elusive quality "School Spirit" vvas woefully lacking on the campus, the mention of it would rouse no interest in the students. The fight of Coach Bergman against this boredom has been inspiring. The first step taken by the athletic director to bring about school spirit was the introduction of intra-mural sports. A constitution was drawn up to provide for and govern these intra-mural sports. It arranged for team division, team schedules, equipment and every phase of the activity. The constitution has been followed during the past year and already a fine system of intra-murals has grown up. These intra-mural athletics have not only given the school greater spirit but have fulfilled the other purpose for their existence, the opening of a way to give every student athletic training. This had long been needed at the University. To Coach Bergman and the assistants chosen by him great credit is due. The way is now open for Catholic University's entrance into the greenest fields of athletics. When Coach Bergman has led the University athletics along the trail to renown that he has already blazed, then certainly he will be ready some day to occupy one of the highest seats in Valhalla's halls. 171 iiCADDlNAik. llcic wc li.tvc the chcci Ic.adtus, tllicc good men and true.

Some certainly will think it very poor; some will consider it indifferent; some few might call it good. The Staff, with a stoicism developed in the building of this book only murmurs very weakly, "It is impossible to satisfy everyone." Perhaps a short history of the Cardinal might not be amiss. It was first published by the Class of 1916, who wished, as can be read in that volume, "to publish an Annual por traying the life of the school, and depicting in tangible form the four happy years spent on the campus." Since that time tnc ('aninuil has grown with the University. Except for one year during the sway of the World War the Cardinal has been published annually, its date of publication varying from the eve of St. Swithin's day to that of All Saints', depending on the competence of the staff. The building of the book is not governed by any consti tution, the entire matter being placed in the hands of an editor-in-chief and business manager elected by the Class. On the heads of these men, together with those of the staff ap pointed by them, you may, as you see fit, either heap your burn ing coals or softly lay your bit of laurel. 178 II gi 311 M_Aik_ H| r\ f^ n n ^ •K'Jj^ B ^^F ^1^^^^• 1 ^ ^^1 d&A J H It jflm PI, 'y - ' 1..^1 ^^^^^^^^^J^H ^•••^fl The Cardinal H.

YARBOROUGK iSi ,_iil[ADIDINAILk_ The Shahan Debating Society HE Shahan Debating Society, having been founded in the early part of the present century by the Right Reverend Thomas J. :-|_f^''| Shahan, Rector Emeritus, has enjoyed ever since the distinction of being pre-eminently an institution of culture; its activity being purely intellectual, it is representative of the scholastic spirit of higher learning. The Society has enjoyed in 1930-1931 one of the most active years in its history. Besides the intramural debates and the round table discussions which have long been a feature of the society's weekly meetings, its members have upheld the honor of their .Mma Mater in public debate against repre sentatives of five other colleges, the University of Florida, the University of Dayton, the LJniversitv of Tennessee, St. Joseph's College, and Fordham University. The Societv has been under the direction of Mr. Joseph A. English for the past hvc vears and it is to him that the Society owes, in great measure, fhe success it has achieved, and too the student body owes its heartiest thanks and appreciation for the enthusiasm with which he has labored in the in terests of one of their e.xtra-curricular activities. Due to the enthusiasm of its most worthy President, Mr. V. L. Zahner, the Society was afforded the benefit of many timely suggestions and minor improvements. The Societv during the past year debated on two questions. It held the affirmative against the University of Florida on the question, "Resolved: That the nations should adopt a policy of free trade," and upheld the neg ative of the question, "That the several states should adopt a system of com pulsory unemployment insurance"' against all its other competitors. Despite the general non-support of the campus, the season has been a successful one and shows an advance over those of past years.

DEVIN President M. J. SHEEHAN Vice-President J. D. OLIVER Secreteary 189 ,^[AMWALk The "C" Club Y MANY years the oldest organization on the campus is the "C" Club. It is a purely honorary society made up of those men who have earned their letter in any varsity sport. Being one of the oldest as well as finest organizations on the campus it rightfully holds Catholic University's most glorious traditions. The names of the men who have belonged to the "C" Club since its inauguration themselves contain the remarkable his tory of athletics at the University. Names such as Wally Pipp, Chief Greene, Ace Lynch, Jo Jo Lawler and Ray Foley (as leader of the Big Four) recall the glory that has been the University's in the fieldo f athletics. It is regrettable that it has come to pass on the campus that the wearing of the "C" is not the mark of distinction it once was. The value of the "C", which should be priceless, seems to have greatly decreased. The reason for this is un known, but in a group with such traditions behind it, a con- cfition of this kind cannot long exist. With the starting of the new athletic regime at the University greater honor than ever before held is foreseen as coming to the members of the "C" Club. To the members of the Club past and present can be said: "None but themselves could be their parallel." 190 DINALk. II Circolo Italiano OFFICERS DR. CHRISTOPHER Moderator NICHOLAS X.

The Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dances of the club, as well as its jieriodical meetings and smokers, are recalled by all as .some of the most enjoyable affairs of their college years. These social functions have proven the best media through which the club endeavors to create good fellowship between the day-students and campus residents. Needless to say, these occasions have been welcomed and ably supported by all groups— concrete evidence of progress in the movement for the full recognition of the day-sttident in university life—the underlving purpose of the Senators' Club. 194 ngun AILk. n ¥791 1 J-tt'B^.^V \ ^ ^ " t«- - • - - 1 "^ T'.aH^H^^^^^^^^^^^^M The Senators Club OFFICERS DAVID DOODY President RICHARD COLLINS Vice-President BENEDICT MORGAN Recording Secretary Guv DINGES Corresponding Secretary RICHARD GLASER Treasurer JOHN DELACY Inter-Club Representative MEMBERS ALBERT ALEXANDER FRANK HANNON RICHARD CJLASER JAMES BRADLEY ROBERT PRAETORIUS JOHN HICKEY JOHN COLUMBUS NICHOLAS SMITH CHARLES LEITWEG JOHN DELACY CHARLES ACHISTETTER THOMAS MARY GUY DINGES RICHARD COLLINS BENEDICT MORGAN DAVID DOODY PAUL S.MITH 195 II 91 3 II ,_J[AlMHAlLk.

R(aiiemhcr the water lights we used to have—and occasionallv' the use of the lire ex tinguisher and its sad consetiuences. .And a number will remember the "!'reshman Dignitaries" at >2.(i(i per freshman—no waiuder they gave us green hats to sport. Nor will the "b'lats" bovs forget the time a bucket of water found its m.ark on a jire- fect by mistake from the upper regions of the "400" club—.and how he provaal him- s(df regular bv laughing it off. .And they will also recollect that wild night when they locked the president of the hall outside and clamored for the "check" in such a vo ciferous manner th.at the entire ball vvas placed on "mdefiiiite campus"—when the barred [irefect managed to break into the hall via an open window in one Sam CJia- como's room. .And none can forget the sleepless night before the Chnstmas vacation when almost every room in the "flats" was broken into and all—willing and unwilling (and this includes Jack Sweenev), joined in the celebration. (1 wonder if "Look Out Helovv " Hanlev remembers that night—'mmm, I wonder.) And the time the boys did a job on Shats Connolly's room—and the time when some vandals took apart "Delicate Dan" De Sopo's bed and at the same time redecorated his room—and Dan's threat for vengeance—and the times they enjoyed themselves at the expene of our old pal (nigler who was befriended in such an uncomfortable manner by Jim Di.\Iicb(ds and Wild Lack cyConnell. While speaking of heroes, my mind goes back to the day when our own demigod "Shats" Connolh' spoke harsh words to the wrong man, one Tiger Menge. and received a broken jaw as a reply—and being powerless without this section of his anatomy he soon departed from C. I,. And lest I forget to miaition 212 II 51 31II _M ILJIjy UIN A IL flL_. some well-known characters—there comes to me thoughts of "Blubber" Wilson, who sported the bear-skin coat—for a while until it was "returned"—and "Mirrors Claude Cluke" Clark, surely you remember him—how mtich did he owe you ?—and the lov ing brothers Tom and Jack Rady who lived in such a tranquil atmosphere—and need I mention "Prof" Blood, who was surnamed Horace—or his roommate, that princely fellow whom we all liked, Dick Bottelli, who died in the spring of our freshman year. And shifting the scene over to madhouse number two—the asvdum which sheltered those characterized as "Jonnies" Remember how they thought they had the class of the class in their midst—and what a delusion it was. Think back and see how the high school politicians launched the first of the long lasting series of campaigns— whispering and otherwise—in order to thwart the "Tommies" in the very first official class meeting—and succeeded by the use of cliques and voting sections in all but the major election—when "Eddie" O'Brien was chosen as president. Remember that am bitious chap, "Whitcy" (^'Connell, who turned out for every sport expressedly "for his own physical development"—those two "melody boys," Joe Carven and William D. Connors, who contributed so much to the weird, mad music ( ?) which issued from St. Johns—not to neglect the one and only Charlie "Ruddy" DiComo, who thrilled all by his marvelous run for touchdown in the Eastern game—nor shall we forget the arch politician, one Tim O'Connor, who engineered the frosh election— and who, incidentally, claims to be the best dressed man at C. U.—but 1 wonder, yes I am still wondering. Remember the midnight marches—recreational riot.s—and our playboy "Rent-a-car" Delahanty, who ran up so many bills that the Washington Chamber of Commerce mourned at his departure from the District—and the colorful "Howard" Gallardo, who painted the town red. Remember the unofficial meeting, down in the stadium—the first gathering of the class as a whole—when, under the leadership of "Obie," we formed plans for the flying of the '31 flag—and what a grand and glorious feeling it was about a wa-ek later to see our new '31 banner floating in the breeze in front of IMcAIaboii. And how easy it is to live through the "rush" that followed—"Shats" alias "Captain" Con nolly stationed half way up the pole, being urged to continue climbing—by the Sophs, and threatened with nothing less than death—b\^ his fellow classmates, if he did— finally the compromise—"Jack" O'Connell tossing the flag down and then the fight— which was eventually broken up by the football squad led b\' "Toots" Tierney. And the '31 rush was the last to be held at C. L'.—probably due to the injurious conse quences of such encounters. Remember the pep meeting in the gym—and other places—at Thanksgiving— when the fire department was called to join in—and they were not very courteously treated—and the marvelous game the next day when G. W.'s greatest team was beaten in spectacular fashion—Foley catching his own pass deflected by a C W. man— running back kicks for touchdowns—everything one would want to see in a football game. Later in the year we held our banquet—when we were all afraid that the Sophs were going to kidnap us—and we all sneaked downtown by roundabout ways and some got away a day ahead of time—and how all our fears were made to seem ridiculous when we learned that the Sophs were prohibited from molesting us by high "authority" —and how we' all wished that they had tried—and how a lot of fun seemed to have been spoiled because they didn't—and that despite that disappointment we" had a rol- lick-ing good time. Then wdien spring came around and the fever hit us all we didn't feel much like getting down on the books—some of us spent the time chasing a little white ball around the golf course—others found pleasure in playing baseball, s\v immiiig, tennis— wdiile the less energetic ones found contentment in merely resting themselves and doing nothing in particular. 213 \ ^m f Yes., and the time flew that spring until we- found ourselves in the mess ot examinations—remember how we en\ led the fortunate ones who happiaied to get home earlier than the rest—and how finalh vve, too, packed—rememher saving good-bve to the gang till next vear—our freshman davs are over— (would that thev were here again!) SOPHOMORE DAYS: .And then—back in '28 when we had moved across the campus—every• thing seemed to have ch.angcd—the old gangs were broken up—some in .Al- hert. some in (iibbons and some didn't return. Ehe boys began to go in lor siaial activities In a bigger and less better way—they had acquired new llh- (utv ;iiiil w( re making the most of it—all the shennanigans of freshnian year wrie put aside, though occasioiiallv they would blossom forth—remember \\ luai (iiegorv vvas sent back to a Lresbman hall as a result of a bit of "frcshm.an .activitv. " Renuanber the tun some of us had with the "freshies" before school h.id ofhciallv opened—those informal meetings at which over ripe freshmen were given the third degree—which consisted of mere |)sycliif tie.itiiuait, no pli\sical heating to it—,and which did a lot of good. Remember th.- class meetings—when Jerry Healy w.as elected iiresideiit —jtolitics had gained headway and the whole campus was buzzing—and how for a time feeling ran high. Remember the trouble we had deciding whether to stick to tradition and purch.ise class hats or to get away from it and sport I oats—,111(1 hiivv we beg.aii .a i\i.-\\ vaigiie at C. IJ. by coming forth with iiia- idon jackets \\\x\\ a white 'ji embroidered on them—and can you forget how smoothlv tli(\ littial. Remember the football season—made up of four vic tories and live defeat.s—when the team at times rose to great heights, and then when its scanty material was partially crippled—sheer fight was not enough, and bov\' about Malevich that year—Rockiie thought enough of him to give him ,111 honorable mention on his All-American team—the best sight of the vear, however, was watching little "Dutch" Cierth shoving 'V^illanova's supposedly .All-.American, Pessalano, all over the stadium. And the grand and glorious feeling of the poor season—the annual white-washing of an old though rather meek foe, George Washington, by the score of 40 to 8. Remember the presentation of the Dramatic Association over at Ward- man Park Theater—title, "Sun-Up"—and the unfortunate incident that oc curred—when the witty Barry Mahoney forgot himself—and the aftermath of it. Remember the many concerts that the Glee Club rendered during the year—over the radio more than a few times—and how close they came to the inter-collegiate championship. And lest we forget the newest of the campus organizations—Pi Epsilon, the senior honor society for those distinguished for their work in extra-cur ricular activities. And who could forget those state club dances—held during vacations— and a lucky thing that they are—but one can always say that a good time vvas had by all. Remember when "Playboy" Delahanty, Carven and Connors took French leave one merry week-end—and were then presented with an extended leave —which they had to take—like or no like. And try to recall the night the Frosh put their flag up at ten o'clock at night—and a few sleepless Sophs took it down 'mid a most "difficult environment"—I can still laugh at Shee han doing a "round the mulberry bush" act at two in the morning—with a select audience watching from him back of a flashlight. And that was the last attempt at a "rush." And then the Sophomore Banquet—down at the Harrington—who can forget if they were really capable of remembering— the conduct of O'Leary with his buddy "Socrates" Zahner—and the Hurley- McGrath act—the leadership of Jerry Healy—not to forget the sportsman ship of "Eddie" O'Brien. Remember the Supper Dance—which went over for the first time since its inauguration—and that all the credit should be given to the committee headed by Healy, Delacy and Sheehan—which reminds us of the novel pro grams drawn up by "Eddie" Smith and "Mike" Sheehan. And then came the warm almost unbearable days when we had nothing to do but study for the fiiiaLs—and we wasted our time trying to think up other thing.s—and then when exams did come, we had to cram and sweat—but if we had the chance we'd do the same thing again. Remember how funny it seemed.going home that year—we weren't going to see those Seniors again— um, a sort of an empty feelin' way down deep. _j|[AtDlNALk JUNIOR YEAR: Remember in '211 we were among the elite ot the campus—the teal old kdlovvs who bad at haigth imbibed some of the r.ire and wholesome tonic ot ciimmnn sense— or to be sate, we were su|tposed to have done th.at. Quite a hectic vcai to say the least—for class officers—we began with jerry Healv being re-elected president—then at Thanksgiving when he left school Blllv Fitzgerald took his place—and then when he too left school at Christmas, "Pat" Hennessey was elected—and how shakv "Pat" w;is. .And how about the football sea.son that vear—the great game the boys plav'ed ,it 1). L'., onlv to be beaten in the last few minutes, 1 3-(i—.and then the injiirv to Male vich in the .Mount St. Mary game, which ke|-it him out tor the rest ot the season— and then that great game wa'th I)iH]uesne which thi-v won in the last twai minutes, 1(^-13—and liii.illv the "Piattle of the "^ ear" .ag.iinst an ordinarv (L W. team which as iisii.al turned out to be ,a romp tor the battling C.ardinals, 4S-(i. Remember the pep meeting hetore the (I.

And then there was the time that "Shennanigans" De Mello was ruled too troublesome for the rest of the boys and was requested to try bis stuff on the inhabitants of Brookland—did you ever see this 'im wjten he wasn't up to something or other .•' Remember the trip to Florida undertaken by Hollenbacb during mid-year exams —in which he is said to live up to his reputation for driving—making the trip faster than train time—mid a snowstorm and most unfavorable conditions. And while speak ing of "Heine"—remember the night the bunch were returning from Baltimore and Monticone vvas misinformed about who was racing him—only to be thoroughly sur prised when he learned that instead of Hollenbacb the challenger turned out to be 216 a state trooper—and remember the fine—and how, after it was all over, the troopers invited them all out again sometime. And then at Easter time at the famous state dances—just recall the last New York affair—and associate with it three things—^McGrath, Mirrors and Georgetown faces—and the Pennsy dance—who remembers? Back at school again we have the baseball season—which, after a surprising and flashy start, turned into a dismal finish—winning the first four games—including a victory over Dartmouth, the team which later won the inter-collegiate title—and then after a terrific lacing at the hands of Harvard, won but two more games—Fanjul beating Seton Hall. And how about the boys who took up the roller skating craze with the fair (or unfair) daughters of the high hat institution called Trinity—and how the fellows denied it was the girls that kept them skating—but how as soon as the girls stopped the boys became suddenly sophisticated once again. Yes, and the grown up kids weren't as clever as they used to be either—spills were plentiful and ripped trousers, cut knees, and bruises were in abundance. Remember the feeling we had at the close of our Junior year—when a lot of our pals were graduating—that "it won't be long now" feeling which had suddenly come on us. Remember how we started to think in those closing days—that we would have to leave this place—that we only had one more year—and then ? SENIOR YEAR: Remember what a strange thing it was to come back as a member of THE class of the university—how strange it seemed not to find those old familiar faces in among the gang around the post office, on the campus, down in the restaurant or at Hailers— it was hard to realize that the bunch you had been associating with were through. But remember the thrill on spying faithful old Tatigan back again—and that grand and glorious feeling we all had wearing the gown for the first time—the same one a kid has when he puts on hisfirst pair of "longies." All the boys had been overtaken by afit of seriousness—no more fooling around—one flunk and the degree goes—there 31 I! JCAMlNALk.. is a busy .season when the credits arc being checked over—then .after evauything is set —a bit of relaxation. It was funny how some fellows changed—Sheehan was in France lor the summer and when he returned—France had a long "a" (F'rahnce)—he also carried a cane and wore what he called a moust.ache—that is besides that certain cosmopolitan man of the wairhl atmosphere, which seemed to envelope him. Morris wasn't quite so col legiate— .Mullen sleepier than ever—Martin more debon.iir than usual—Tatigan hap pier and larger than before—yes, Senioi' vear has caused a number ot changes. Remember the difference we saw in the athletic situation as soon as vve arrived— all the football men were enthused over their new mentor—there w.as, at Last, method and system in practice over at the gym—.something vv bich was new to us. '1 be v\ hole athletic aspect has been revolutionized and a new spirit has been developed at C. U. -—-such a change that even recent grads would be astounded—and lastly the student bodv' knows that it is mcielv a matter of .a year or so before the success ol "Dutch" Bergman is assured. Remember wluai we first came b.ick the stories wc had to listen to trom the foot ball men—(not that thev were the oiih storv tellers)—the one about the strong arm stunt of "Goose" McGarry—when he stole some of his old roomie's (ire and came through with a bang. 'Fhen .after the Hoston triii—we are told how "C. 11. Bill" RcilK met a certain p.irtv informally—.and how "Johnny" Lvons made history with ,1 Irvv hut honest wauiU. .And do vou recall the bear cub that served as mascot tor the New River State team—.uul did vou know th.at some ol tlua'r |ilav(us were r.atber exptuitaiccd—one of them had plaual lor (.'. I . once upon a time. I'he football .season w.as 218 II33I1 our own "Eddie" O'Brien, who gave all he had and then played the G. W. game on courage till he was unable to walk and was carried off the field—and that "last sec ond" touchdown of G. W.'s in thefirst half—which was heart-breaking for the fight ing Cardinals. Remember the pep meeting before the G. W. game this vear—the mammoth fire in front of Gibbons—the address by our inspiring new coach—and his assistant Lou Gross—the fight down at G. W.—and their "parade" around our own campus— which ended in a rout. Remember when mid-years came around—and passed—and some of the gang thought they hadn't—those fortunate ones who managed to rate conditions—And I wonder how many will fall by the wavside on Condition day—the second Saturdav of March. And during the basketball season—remember trimming the highly touted G. W. outfit—and what a sore loser their captain was—and the American U. game in which the C. U. boys lost their self-control—though any normal man would probably have acted the same way—though the C. U. players were ruled tinsportsman-Iike in their conduct—how many of the spectators blamed them for their actions—and how un- sportsman-like the American U. boys were in provoking in a very unmanly fashion the ire of the unfortunate C. U. players. And how very wisely the authorities caused a discontinuance of athletic contests, almost immediately. And shortly after this affair Cj. W. announces that they have decided to drop us from their athletic schedules—this comes through the papers and no mention had been made of the break to the C. U. authorities by G. W. official.s—then followed the pub lic apology by the president of G. W.—and a newspaper haranging against the un ethical and unsound policy of the downtown institution and this double break left two more open dates in an already uncompleted football schedule. And perhaps G. W. realized that they had no chance to best C. U. in the future—and took to their heels when they had the chance. And don't forget the Athletic Carnival—the first of a series of these annual or perhaps semi-annual event.s—AL'ke Durso in the role he loves to pl.av'—Alike Ale- 219 _JCAlDINALk Donald playing the piano in a marvelous manner and at the s;ime time introducing a new marching song for C. I .—and who can forget the "Battle of the Centurv" be tween "Tunney " Whelan and "Dempsev" Sheary—long count and .all. And let's not forget our great boxing team—especially the St. Johns fight.s—w hen the gang scored five straight knockouts—oh, bov', what a wallop that kid De Pasquale pack.s—by far the hardest and snappiest on the team. And how about the "Dennie" Collins-"Tubbv" Tatigan combin.ation—quite a group to be traveling around together—and it contained more pep than half the school. Remember the sad ca.ses of those boys who formed the b.ul habit of playing Trinity— even the peer of the racketeers "Rico" Bertone was seduced and who knows his fate— June will tell. .And in these days of the new "jiike" and abolished "bend" we might say "D. D." Martin and "Big l-5rotber" McCnath have played the game well—and come what mav' the "Gold Coast" will stand for innumcr.able years—tind the C. U. boys will continue to swim .ahout its captivating ( ?) shores—nibbling wluai thev can, but eventually being caught as all good—or, more aptiv, |ioor fish are. And now as 1 am rambling along—1 suddenly realize that the Editor, "Halt-pint" L.a Fhalic, h.is luaai t(dliiig me to remember not to lorget th.at this work is long over due—.111(1 it the Ciinliiiiil is to come out on time—as it has so s(d(lom done—(1 do re- memb(U' it was Freshman vear th.at we had 'iiir books hetore wc went home)—then 1 h.id better get iu\ work in—so, b.appv memories—an revoir.

Alartin recites the defi nition right out of the book. "You should pay stricter attention to my lectures, Mr. Martin. All right. Brother, give the correct definition." Said Brother, who had been waving his hand frantically, rattles off the desired answer. Martin: "But, Doctor, the book here agrees with me." "The book is wrong." The class begins to grumble, which is the cause of afifteen-minute tal k on the lack of interest and work in the lay students of the class, which will probably result in a number of flunks; and "since this is a required course, etc." The bell rings and the Doctor continues to lecture. "Hey, Doc, the bell rang." Unheedingly, the professor continues to instruct the unwilling listeners on the moral orders (order) although he has to raise his voice a bit in order to be heard over the general grumbling throughout the room. Five minutes later everyone starts to leave. Class is dismLssed. Time. 8 A. M. Day: (It's too early—nobody seems to know.) Class; Sociology EDITOR'S NOTE : The first twenty minutes of this class will be recorded purely from the imagination of the writer, the reason being that the said writer never ar rived earlier than 8 :20 A. M. The bell rings and the professor bustles into the room. AlcCniigan is there as early as usual—in order that he might secure his accustomed place directlv' in front of the professor. As the doctor is arranging the numerous forms, briefs and the various books which contain statistics and other data about the activities of the social worker, a few sleep walkers roll in. During the roll call, about half the class manages to as semble. (N. B. There is no chance to answer for a buddv' in this class—the prof's got an eagle eye.) About fifteen minutes later—"Bertoni, tell the class what you know of the as.sociated charities?" No answer. "Bertoni, I said." Someone finally wakes Bertoni up. "It's a good racket. Doc' Those who are awake laugh (much to the discomfort of those trying to sleep). McGuigan, you tell us." McGuigan does. At about 8 :30, Blasi, Martin, Mullen, and a few others scramble in—but the professor keeps on lecturing, taking no notice of their highly comical, half-awake ex pressions. Five minutes later, the professor announces that there is just enough time left for a short quiz. This announcement is followed by a general and lively awakening of the sleepy class which includes a rearrangement of chairs and the sudden poptilarity of a few known "crams." The test is of the Psychological variety—true or false. Three minutes later the qtiiz is over, and the class is dismissed. The late comers and Morris (who has just come in) are checked off—Quinn and Morris being warned that they had better come earlv for thev haven't been there on time but once.
