With that single purpose in mind the editors of the 1941 Redwood have undertaken to record the accomplishments and capture the spirit of the students of the University of Santa Clara during the year 1940-41. Hoping to catch the rhythm of events as they occurred to those who experienced them, the editors have adopted a method of approximate chron- onology of events, with some concessions to the technical limita- tions of a yearbook, as a principle of organization. If this method will recall to the students of the university in 1940-41 the excitement of a successful football team, the interest of the great "Cenodoxus" production, the mixed pleasures and pains of the last few weeks, crammed with final examinations, excursions, dances, term pa- pers, and the confusion which marks the close of every school year, then the end toward which the editors have bent their efforts will have been fulfilled. Observers of the campus life of Santa Clara have often said that the class which graduates in May, 1941, includes some of the most talented men who have contributed to and profited from the ex- cellence of the university since its foundation. It is to these grad- uates that the 1941 Redwood is dedicated in appreciation of the University of Santa Clara for their contribution to its honor. The Redwood hopes that it may assist them in future years to live again their days on this campus. 1 OF THE TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Board 12 Faculty 14 Extra Curricular 18 In the Fall 20 In the Winter 58 In the Spring 80 Curricular 116 Senior Class 118 Junior Class 127 Sophomore Class 130 Freshman Class 134 Law College 138 Military Science 140 AT THE M 4b% i%g Page 10 he xecutivetr oav REV.

CASANOVA LOUIS FARASYN Assistant Coach Freshman Coach Assistant Freshman Coach Thirty-five wins, 5 losses, and 4 ties over a five year period. Second ranking team in the nation on a percentage basis. Two Sugar Bowl victories and no defeats. That is the record of Lawrence T. "Buck" Shaw since he took over the reins as Head Coach of the Santa Clara varsity in 1936. Recognized as one of the outstanding defensive strategists in the game today, "Buck" can nevertheless be proud of HENRY SCHMIDT his offensive rating as well. Trainer Assisting "Buck" in producing win- ning combinations are Al Ruffo, dy- namic line coach, Len Casanova, tech- nically known as Freshman Coach, but whose scouting and observation of the opponents is of utmost value. Along with that triumvirate are Lou Farasyn '39, Jack Roche '40, and Nello Falaschi '37. Inimitable Henry Schmidt is a mainstay and a tradition at Santa Clara in his training duties and J. F. "Sam" Dunne does an admirable job in the difficult position of Athletic Manager. DR. EDWARD A.
