DEDICATION

I f aught there be of hidden worth or some stray chip of beauty lodged among these leaves, to St. Aloysius, our model and patron, let it be dedicated, in the prayerful hope that the same years that may yellow and crisp the pages, may dim the outline of our clear, candid faces shall also sear deeper in our hearts the lessons of our Aloysian years at St. Peter s.

W ILLIAM J. ANNETTE

Sodality (1-2-3-4); Capt. Track (3 ); Football (3-4)

“A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays and confident tomorrows.”

A man, we wish to emphasize the fact and a cheerful one, within and without. The golden sunshine of fa r away lands has warmed his heart like mellow wine, while mystery and romance are m irrored in his sparkling eyes. B ill’s gracious per­sonality has drawn friends to him as the flowers draw the bees. Conjure up in your minds the fact that Bill is an athlete and a student, and your imaginations must show a compact picture of royal qualities. “B ill” has one boast— “He beats the sun to bed.” That one cannot be bettered— so Bill we foresee the wisdom of sages old for you in days to come.

JOHN J. BALDWIN

Sodality (3) ; Debating (4)“The music of the laughing lip

The lustre of the eye.”This light-hearted youth came into our

midst some four years ago, and his sunny smile and good nature endeared him to us all. Five days of the week he may be seen rushing into the room only a few minutes before the bell, demanding a memory- book of his classmates and nervously cramming in a few lines of the day’s les­son. Ever ready fo r fun or frolic, this worthy “Peterite” , “ Dige” , as he is affec­tionately called by us, has identified him ­self with every activity tending to boost the “P rep.” In any of his attempts a dy­namic energy has been felt. We know this same energy will be felt in his future life.May he receive the success he has so earnestly deserved.

“D igt”

GEORGE R. BLANEY

Sodality (2-3-4); Football (3-4); Baseball (3-4)

“True friendship is more valued than gold.”

So great had the reputation of St. Peter’s grown, that George was attracted to us from Regis H igh School. A lthough here but three years, his school spirit has never waned. He donned the Prep, un i­form both in football and in baseball and his deeds were quite enviable. He wins friends by his modesty and holds them by his consistency. In the lead in his studies and a true gentleman, he has won the ad­m iration of all. In parting with George we extend our hand and our best wishes. May your days at V illa Nova be crowned with success and m ay we some day see your name emblazoned in glory.

“George”

MARTIN J. BRADY

Sodality (1-2-3-4) ; Debating (1-2-3)

. “A true model of perservance strong.”

The cheerful countenance now before your view is our esteemed classmate, “M arty” . He is the ideal St. Peter’s stu­dent, and future Peterites would do well to emulate him. No class activity ever lacked “M arty’s” support and when called upon he did more than his share. He is indeed a fellow one likes to have fo r a friend, and whose friendship, once ac­quired, grows more valued with time. It is with the saddest of hearts but the most joyful wishes for success that we part with “M arty” . May your future scholastic at­tainments be great and widely heralded. W e expect great things from you.

“Marty”

PETER J. BREEN

LAWRENCE C. CALLAHAN

“A kind and gentle heart he hath.”

When things go wrong or fortune frowns “Cal” smiles, and this happy sense of hum or has won fo r him much adm ira­tion. His knowledge of Greek is note­worthy and a glance at his marks will show that he has always been a good scholar. He hails from St. Patrick’s and his undying support for the Prep, teams is in great evidence. “Cal” has determined upon Seton H all as his next stepping stone to success and his cheerful disposition is certain to gain him as many friends there as he now claims at St. Peter’s. When “ Cal” goes forth from the campus our best wishes will go with him.

“Pete”

Baseball (3-4); Basketball (3-4) ; Sodality (3-4);Class Sec. 3-4)

“By his good work, we shall know him.”

Having abandoned the lofty walls of Seton H all, “Pete” joined our m erry ranks in third year. His pleasing and humorous ways so won fo r him a host of friends, that he quickly overcame the shyness which attended his arrival at St. Peter’s. “Pete’s” hum or is a “ live and growing thing” , and often above the m erry din of laughter could be heard the deep, sonor­ous chuckle of his bass voice. His athletic ability has been well shown, as he is a basketball and baseball p layer that our school may well be proud of. In addition to this, he has always applied himself to his studies and may be called not an ath­letic student but a student athlete. “Pete” inform s us that it is his intention to enter Cooper Union in the fall. The best of suc­cess, “Pete” .

“John”

“Joe’s” cheery smile will long live in our hearts. For this ray of sunlight brigh t­ened our darkest days and won fo r him the love of all. However, “ Joe” will not only be remembered for his joyous smile, but also fo r his intellectual ability. Gifted with a keen mind he reaped a rich h ar­vest from the classics and laid the cor­nerstone of a vast structure of knowledge. “Joe” intends to place his name on the rostra of Fordham College, but we know that no m atter what career he may choose in life, he" Cannot help but be a success. You can do what you think yOU are able to do, and we know that you are planning great things for yourself, “Joe” . Farewell.

JOHN M. CODY

Sodality (1-2-3-4) ; Debating (3)

“God will not love thee less, because men love thee more.”

Carefree and easy going, John has al­ways assumed a most serious m anner in any affairs pertaining to school matters, and above all, when it comes to m athe­matics. In class he has shown him self to be a wizard in solving the most intricate problem s in Trig. We could speak at great length of John, but we would rather speak of him as just the true friend that he is. As we part, -we wish you a cheer­ful, successful life— a life that you love to give those with whom you associate.

“With malice toward none. With charity for all.”

“Our George” , m ay his life be marked with the same generous success which he has reaped in his four years as a “Peter- ite” . The lad has indeed won his spurs and has always shown those qualities which m ark a born leader of men. He excels in his studies and is a star of the first magnitude on the basketball court. “George” has been a hard, diligent work­er and can always be seen occupied at some position, be it in the bookstore, the lunchroom, or helping his classmates. If the famous saying, “genius is nine-tenths hard work,” is true, then “George is nine­teenths genius.”

“George”

EUGENE P. COE

“Sincerity— thou first of virtues.”

Our Alma M ater can well be proud of this affable, studious, efficient youth. He is a devotee, as it were, of Virgil, Cicero, and Homer, and he excels in the art of English composition. The darkness of “M ath” has been but a burst of sunlight to him. “Gene” is a staunch son of St. Peter’s, always ready to support any acai- demic, athletic or social activity. “Gene” intends to continue his quest for knowl­edge at Fordham where his kindly way, combined with that unassuming nature, will make fo r him as many friends as he leaves at St. Peter’s.

“The true Knight of learning— the world holds dear,

Love bless him, Joy crown him, God speed his career.”

The above little verse brings out in clear relief our estim ation of “ Doug” . Quiet, gentlem anly, always interested in school affairs and what is more, all fo r the great­er glory of God and St. Peter’s as a motto gives “ Doug” a fa ir foundation to work on during the days that are to come. His record is an enviable one as it is also a fa ir test of his skill. You may not greet us as a cham pion from the cinder path, “ Doug” , but with all your observations and the thoughtfulness, necessarily contiguous upon such sobriety as is yours, “ Doug” , we leave all predictions to the im agina­tions of the readers. “Doug

“His fantasies may speedily substantiated be.”

Let us here make mention of Tom. In our too short sojourn at the Prep., his stately carriage and draw ling voice— like unto those of a Southern gentleman of the old school— have made us look upon him as a leader of men. Born a dreamer, St. Peter’s has taught him to bring his dream to realities. His dream of athletic prowess was brought into real life as a halfback on the gridiron. Now, he dreams of spectacular runs fo r his Alma Mater and since Tom’s expression is, “My dreams shall all come true,” we shall watch for him to run true and steady. D rift with your dreams, “Tom” , and they’ll come true.

EDWARD L. CONNORSodality (1-2-3-4) ; Senior President; Class

President (2-3-4) ; Football Mgr. (3-4) ;Athletic Business Mgr. (3-4)

“His ready speech flowed fair and free In phrase of gentlest courtesy.”

“Little Eddie” is a straight-forward man through and through, forever looking out for the welfare of his associates and getting them out of difficulties with the au­thorities. When Eddie leaves the Prep., he will also leave behind him an enviable record, having been one of the greatest athletic business managers the Prep, has ever known. He also managed the foot­ball team for two consecutive years, here­tofore a thing unheard of.

Eddie is the kind of a fellow who can talk a Shylock out of anything from a pin to a town clock. He is persistent, honest and generous. W ith these qualities he can not help but succeed at Notre Dame, where he intends to take a course in engineering. We hope, Eddie, you will as lightly brush aside the objections of life as the difficul­ties of opponents now.

JAMES V. CONWAY

Sodality (2-3-4) ; Class Treasurer (2-3-4)

“Nor silent was, yet silent seemed to be.”

Conscientious, sincere, honest, depend­able Jim ! Believe us we could look up all the best words in the dictionary and put them before your name. But four are enough: Conscientious in the perform ­ance of duty, sincere in your studies, loyal to your friends and dependable in any emergency. And honest, Jim was our treasurer for four years and perform ed this office to the satisfaction of all, even the most scrupulous. We have known you but a few years. W ould that we had known you longer!

So long, Jim. We wish you the best of luck in your studies and we say, with you as a physician, we might wish to be­come ill to have the pleasure of your services and company. “Jimmy”

JOHN A. COSTELLO

Sodality (1-2-3-4)

John is one of the most popu lar boys in the class. By his cheerful disposition he has won the hearts of all. On the basket­ball court he has always proved that he was “ there” when a basket or two was needed for victory. Likewise, in the class­room, when things seemed the dreariest, it was “Red” that saved the day with his cheerful countenance. “Red” has not yet told us what he wishes to do after his suc­cessful career is ended at St. Peter’s, but whatever it m ay be, John, we, the class of ’27, wish you the best of luck, and if you keep our confidence in you, yours will be a successful life.

“Red”

•JOHN J. COUGHLIN

Sodality (2-3-4) ; Baseball (3-4) ; Basketball (3-4)

“He who speaks, sows, but he who is silent, reaps.”

John is one of the proudest boasts of St. Peter’s. Believing that St. Peter’s was the most appropriate place for his ambitions, John came to us in second year from Seton H all and has since proved himself to be a loyal subject and an earnest worker in every line of endeavor, both in the class­room and on the field of sport. We hail him as one of our best on the basketball court; his work in this respect deserves a great deal of praise. We take consolation in the feeling that John, by dint of his courage, will conquer the obstacles that may present themselveg in the paths he has yet to conquer.

laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market.”

Dame Fortune smiled upon our class in third year, by directing “Smiling Mike” into our midst. Since the time of his a r­rival, this cheerful youngster has kept both the teachers and his classmates in a laughing mood by his comical expressions arid wise-cracks. Although as yet “Mike” is a little too sm all to make his varsity “P ”, he has shown his good will and his desire to help his “Alma M ater” by jo in­ing in the shout of the Prep, cheering sec­tion. If we were to quote the words of “Mike” himself, we would say, “History may have been written by big men, but it was us little men who made it.” Your many companions and friends, “Mike” , bid you adios as you depart.

JAMES W. CRANWELL

Sodality (1-2-3-4) ; Track (4)

“A friend in need is a friend indeed” When “Jim ” entered the Prep., little

did we realize who had decided to sojourn with us. Since his early days here, he has gradually infused into our minds his po­litical views, so that we have always re­ferred our doubts concerning such mat­ters to him, and we found him always ready to lend an attentive ear to our dif­ficulties. He has always been an ardent rooter and a faithful supporter of Prep, activities. His jovial spirit has always tided us over the realms of Homer and Virgil. If his popularity continues in the future as it has grown in the past, all suc­cess shall be his.

“A great and goodly man is he.”

A synonym fo r learning is this fellow “Tom”, though Homer has caused m any a wrinkle on his brow. However, “Tom ” is the type of youth you would pride in hav­ing as a friend. His happy smile, his genial look are always a p art c f the very atmosphere. And as the years roll on and the impressions of the old class grow dimmer, there will be one who will ever remain in our thoughts. That one is “Tom ”. Next autum n Seton H all College will open its portals to this quiet, persever­ing lad, in his quest of knowledge. W ill­ingly and joyfully you have worked, “Tom”— unexpected wonders should be y o u rs!

“Tom.”

“A cheery smile, a happy face,Did make the hours speed by.”

Always a gentleman, to be sure a sar­torially-inclined one, with sleeked hair- comb and carefully-adjusted cravat, “Bono” won his way into all our hearts. With a beaming, cheery countenance, he faced the struggle through Cicero, Virgil and Homer, and his “ I know it, M ister” became a beacon of safety to the rest of us (poor unfortunates). Moreover, in the balmy days of Spring, he donned his spiked shoes and cavorted on the grassy diamond, spearing sure hits. “Bono” in­tends to “sign up” at Villa Nova this fall, and we hold high aspirations concerning his future success at the Sylvanian institu­tion. Best o’ luck, “Bono” !

“ Debonair Pete” , stand forth and take your place among the honored of this fa ir land. Your rolling words and dramatic versatility, as you stood on the stage so coyly, will bring up pictures of the fa ­mous “Beau Brummel” forever. And lest you interpret our remarks wrongly, we ask: “ Can you give us your form ula” ? Let our desire not go in vain. You have been a decided asset in your years with us and we wish you success in your fu ­ture career. W ith much regret we now turn along different paths and our one wish is that you may solve the windings of life’s paths as easily as you have solved the problem s of debating and dramatics.

“One heart, one life, one soul,. .One aim, one goal’9

In September Ted came into our broth­erhood from Regis and in this short time has shown what vim, vigor and vitality can do when combined with the will to try. The aforementioned goal is West Point, the life of a soldier and a strategist and perhaps the hall of fame as a general in some future war. Aim straight toward the goal, Ted! It is surely worth while. The parting days are h^rd, the days to come will also have their difficulties, but “on­ward” is the word; in God we can do all things. The picture in our hearts of you is that of a soldier. May you be a good one and may no day be able to erase from your mind the goal towards which you tend.

“Is this that haughty, gallant, gay, Lothario?”

H appy and carefree, but with a sense of seriousness toward the duties of life, Bill has diligently worked through the curriculum of St. Peter’s. “B ill” is an ex­cellent Latin scholar and we rank him next to Bennett as an authority on Latin gram ­mar. Taking an active part in all ath­letics, we find “B ill” especially well fit­ted as a baseball moundsman. His achieve­ments on the diamond have given “B ill” an enviable record and we look for big league action from “B ill” in the near fu­ture. Dalton and he should make a fam ­ous team and we hope V illa Nova will profit by the ability of these young men. Fair play, “B ill” as usual will bring you to the top.

By your sunny dis­position, “Nels” , we know you love a joke as well as the puzzling proposition.

We shall miss, indeed, the cheering smile, obliging na­ture and warm friendship that has shone in our midst during the past four years. Regretfully, the entire class of ’27 bid you good-bye, Leo.

Like most men of his kind, he breaks out every so often in a humorous fit, during which moments, his droll witticisms are com parable to those of Will Rogers. “Mickey” is also an athlete; he has represented the Prep, on the gridiron, and although he failed to win his letter, he gave the best that was in him.

From the beginning of his career at St. Peter’s “I jOu” has always held the esteem and honor of his classmates. A quiet, unassuming fellow, “Lou” came to us as unobtrusively as a summer morn. The personification of ambition and sincerity, he quickly proved that in the classroom he was lord of all he surveyed. Quiet, indeed, but a mighty thinker, the same zeal that he has manifested here while one of us, will be characteristic of his success and achievements in the days to come. We do not know “Lou’s” further aspirations, but we do know that his ready smile and genial disposition will win him new honors and new friends as they did at St. Peter’s.

This quiet, unassuming chap is dis­tinguished for one outstanding trait. He is a student. A brilliant student, he is easily one of the highest in scholarly en­deavors and withal, finds time to lend his support to school activities. If ever there was a doubt as to the fact that there were two sides to every question, then ask “ Charlie” . He will find at least one of them. “Charlie” enjoyed a hearty laugh, as much as he did delving into the studies of “M ath” or Latin. In fact, the books might have afforded him more. Though we flogged you and we flayed you, by the living gods that made you, send us an­other man like “ Charlie” “dear Bayonne” .

Here “Moe’s” true ability came to light and basketball claimed him for its scion. “Moe” also won for himself end position on the Varsity football team and was twice an all county selection. But “Moe’s” ability was not only limited to sports; whenever any difficulties arose in class we all looked up to “Moe” for the solution. We can predict nothing but a most resplendent future. Keep up the good work.

“Stately and tall, like unto a noble oak.”

Four years ago, we met “Ed” , a gentle­m an of the highest type. He came to us with the determination of youth and soon found his way into the hearts of his class­mates. “Ed” presented himself on every occasion and gave his loyal and vocal support to every team. “Ed” claims a host of companions here at th e ' “Prep.” Nay, we might call him a social climber. “Ed” intends to pursue his studies at Columbia University. May the same suc­cess meet you there as here.

As the years ro ll on and the impressions of the old class grow dimmer, the memory of certain men of our class will never depart from us. In “Jim ’s” case it will be identical for all. In our m ind’s eye we shall see him, his face beaming with that ready smile, that has often cheered us on our, at times, rough path. We shall smile as we recall his frequent bouts with “ Dige” Baldwin, our highstrung and temperamental Dempsey.

W ith the numerous qualities that have been his forte in his scholastic success and his class activities, together with his in­com parable capacity fo r hard and honest labor, we are certain that, when oppor­tunity knocks at his door, “ Jim ” will befully prepared. We fail not to assure you Jim

However, he is not a boisterous youth, who continu­ally thrusts himself into the limelight; quite the contrary, he possesses a certain bashfulness, which is very becoming to him. He can quote Cicero, Virgil, or foot­ball scores with the rapidity that becomes a student of each.

If ever at a gathering of St. Peter’s men you meet a pleasant youth with a gentle smile, who speaks but little, but whose words are words of wisdom; whose sole purpose seems to be to please, and to assist others; whose tongue never slan­ders, and whose heart is open to charity; you may feel confident that you have met “Mac” . For in no other, are these fine virtues to be found as are evident in this loyal son of St. Peter’s. Connected with the “P rep” since his gram m ar school days, he has that true school spirit, which does not speak aloud, but which makes itself m anifest by deeds. As a scholar and a friend, “Mac” , you have ever been an in­spiration to us all. God speed! “Mac"

Every class has its hero and we choose to call our hero by the fitting name of “Muggsy” . As we pore over the annals of athletics at St. Peter’s, we would do injustice were we not to include this out­standing character. In whatever branch of endeavor a St. Peter’s team may have entered, whether on the gridiron, the dia­mond, or the basketball floor, “Muggsy” was the one who took charge of these m inor jobs, that demand for their success­ful completion such dexterity as is only characteristic of one of “Muggsy’s” type. He has not made known his plans for the future, but with one voice the class ’27 offers its most sincere wishes of success and happiness to “Muggsy” McGovern.

His pleasant smile and sincerity in studies quickly proved that, while with­in the walls of old St. Peter’s “Mac” in­tended to be both friendly and studious. Not infrequently did he show his stellar ability in translating Cicero’s speeches and the wandering of Aeneas over the classic deep. He has also shown a wonder­ful activity by helping behind the lunch- counter, dispensing the honest cup of coffee and the humble bun. In our four years acquaintance with “Mac” , we never found him lacking in the attributes of a gentleman and student. Our sinderest wishes and fond hopes of success follow him as he leaves the portals of St. Peter’s.

Gaze, dear reader, upon the m anly and graceful features of “L arry” . W itty re­m arks ro ll from his tongue like the b il­lows upon the shore, consequently he has gained friends. N or has “L arry” spent all of his vigor and strength in intellectual achievements, as can be seen by his active partic ipation in athletics for the past three years. His pluck and fighting spirit will long hold our memories, even when “L arry” has turned his steps to greater heights. “L arry has not as yet decided upon where , his next step in life will be, but wherever he goes his success will be an object of adm iration fo r all. Good luck, God speed you” , is the tiding your m any friends bid you, “L arry” .

“Large was his bounty and his soul sincere ”

Everyone in the Science class will as­sert that “R alph” is as fu ll of questions as the Catechism, but his questions are, for the most part, unanswerable. Still from the time that “R alph” first came into our midst we held him as a friend, and’ four years have shown us that our regard was not misplaced. One of “R alph’s” most pronounced qualities is his fairness. He is the kind that hears both sides of the question before passing judgment or form ­ing an opinion. But do not think that “R alph” is by any means too quiet or serious. W ith his occasional outbursts and his irrepressible wit he made every class a pleasure. A perfect gentleman and a generous friend, all his class join in wish­ing him the best of success at Georgetown.

“Infinite work! which doth so far extend That none can study it to any end.”

“M ilt’s” quiet, unassuming nature coupled with his smile is all that is neces­sary to win him friends anywhere. He is a real pal upon whom one can depend. He possesses many sterling qualities, but his chief characteristics are sincerity and up­rightness. In his four years at St. Peter’s no one is more deserving of honorable mention than “M ilt” . In his third year he was unanimously elected captain of the class baseball team and he showed much tact and proficiency in that position. We are proud to think that his patience and genius have been justly rewarded. In the span of our high school course we have found him to be a man, straightfor­ward, honest and true. We hope and feel that “M ilt” will do as well in his battles with life as he has done in his school career.

“Good sense and good nature go ever together.” It was a hard-fought struggle, but after

four years the end had come. It was not like the city of Troy, which stood forth against its enemies for ten years and then fell, defeated. “Rinnie” rose trium phant after the clouds of battle had cleared, a hero, a conqueror of Caesar, Virgil and Homer. “Rinnie” wishes the schooldays were longer. He does not like to go home immediately. Indeed, on rare occasions when he does not play handball, he has been known to remain within the hallowed portals of his dear Alma M ater and con­verse on debated topics of the day. “Rin­nie” has not made known his ambition, but we are sure that whatever he takes up will be an instrument to his success. Thus it is that he departs from our midst ad­mired by all.

“But be not afraid of greatness.”

“Tony” is the kind of a lad one is glad to have as a friend. He is not often heard from, being quiet and alm ost unnoticed. But behind this mask does “Thomas” hide. His quiet m anner and innocent appear­ance have covered a m ultitude of mis­chievous deeds. “Tony” often astounds the beloved professor, when he breaks forth from his shell of reticence and de­livers an eloquent translation of the re­puted difficult Virgil. But behind a sleepy appearance lie the realm s of a vivid im ag­ination which one day will help “Tony” attain a high degree of honor. When “Tony” unpacks his bag at Notre Dame we feel sure that he will make and hold his friends as he did here. Keep well up in the race yet to be run, “Tony” . ‘Tony”

“Nor fame I slight, nor her favors call;She comes unlooked for if she comes at all.

Ever modest and unappreciative of his own worth, “Charlie” is one of our fore­most men. In all his years at St. Peter’s Charlie has never been found wanting in his studies, but has always stood well on the safe side of the scholastic balance. A term of self reproach to those who make spring fever last through ten months of the year, Charlie has our highest com­mendation. May you always mantain the high grade you have attained and St. Peter’s. We will always look fo r your voice to swell the chorus of those who do her honor. As you turn to pursue another course we trust that fame will surely come and in accordance with your wish— un­looked for if at all.

“Seest thou a man diligent in his business he shall stand before Kings.”

We shall always remember “Vin” for his diligent class work. Since the first day “Vin” entered the portals of St. Peter’s he has stood out amongst the others for his scholastic endeavors. “Vin’s” activities are not limited by the class walls. He has al­ways played upon the class athletic teams and his sportsmanship reflects due credit to his training. However, as the proverb states, “By his ardent work a man shall be known” , we shall a ll see our “Vin” conquering the obstacles in whatever path he may choose and gaining the pinnacle of success he deserves.

“His life was formal,His actions seemed ruled with a ruler.”

Four years ago “ Sax’s” shadow fell upon the threshold of St. Peter’s. Since then he has endeared himself to his fe l­low students and as a tribute to his her­culean powers he was elected captain of the football team. However, the most noted quality in “Sax’s” character is that he is a gentleman. Whether on the field of sport or in the classroom struggling through the entanglements of Latin, he was always a gentleman. No m atter what walk of life “Sax” may choose, his jovial nature and his powers of elocution will win for him as many friends as he leaves at St. Peter’s. March on, George; we wish you all success.

“He who speaks, sows;But he who is silent, reaps.”

In “Pete” are contained the qualities of an ideal student. Attentive, scholarly and zealous in his search fo r knowledge, he has ever been the delight of his instructors. It is evident that his successes are the re­sult of patient toil and have in them little of the element of “ luck” . “Pete” is also an ardent member of the Debating Society, which he unfailingly attends, week after week. We do not know “Pete’s” plans af­ter leaving his Alm a Mater, but from our knowledge of him we imagine that he will some day be a power in the world of mo- tordom. But wherever his path may lead, he will always carry with him the best wishes and the fondest regards of his class­mates. We may bid him a fond good-bye, as he finally turns from St. Peter’s, and casts into deep shadow the hearts of the m any companions, who have called him by the homely cognomen “Pete” .

“Laurels rest lightly on the truly noble brow.”

Coming to us from St. Aedan’s, “Gabe” has proved him self a worthy representa­tive of that illustrious school. Unlike most in the class “Gabe” has one outstanding characteristic— he is silent. Silent did we say? So much so that we even doubt his presence in the class at times. He has never been known to engage in an a r­gument, though one can readily see that he reasons for himself. We have never seen “ Gabe” in an athletic uniform , but he has made up fo r this in his scholastic studies which are of the highest calibre. We can only offer a surmise with regard to “Gabe’s” future, but we know that his choice of a field of endeavor will be a lofty one.

’Twas a good wind that three years ago bore into our m idst this husky m ountain­eer from Saranac Lake. And it was a breezy person “ our Saranac” turned out to be. Possessed of a wonderful vitality and a powerful right, he soon fought his way into the fore of St. Peter’s activities.His friends became legion. In whatever line he directed his thoughts, success was sure to follow. But it was on the football field that “Saranac” especially scintillated.Here he had an avenue for his excess ener­gy; and here he employed it to the best advantage. Many a line-plunger met his W aterloo in “Saranac” , who seemed to be in all parts of the field at the same time.W hat we said of his football playing may „be said of his character, likewise. He is always on his feet.

“From whose tongue flows language sweeter than honey.”

Out of the wilds of H arrison and into the glare and glam or of this city “ Barney” entered our midst, four years ago. His jovial and beaming countenance daily il­lum inated the class-room. “Barney” was ever ready for sport, but never delinquent in his studies. His one fault was his tard i­ness in arriving at school in the morning. He has set a record at school which we fear will never be surpassed. His elo­quence in the art of speaking has always been in evidence. Many a day has been brightened by his sweet flow of language sim ilar to that of the ancient “Nestor” not only in class but even among his com­panions. “Barney” intends to continue his course of studies at Georgetown. We wish him the best of success in future years and we are positive that he shall gain world renown.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1927Our career at St. Peter’s is ended. And now we carry out with us the pleasant

memories of those years spent within her walls.It was on a September m orn in 1923 that some two hundred greenies assembled

in the quadrangle, brim m ing over with excitement. Their minds contained but one thought and feared but one thing—their entry into High School. And as we strike the chords of memory, we find that these timorous youths of yesteryear are none other than ourselves— the class of ’27.

After a week of warm ing up, which was made pleasant by a daily half session, we began to dispel our fears of the terrib le High School “bugaboo” and to sip of the sweet nectar of education from the golden cup held firmly in the hands of a Jesuit Father. We loved the surroundings, we enjoyed the true “P rep” atmosphere and most of all we formed an everlasting love and appreciation for the Jesuit Fathers.

But yet, Freshm an year was not all a path of roses. Who here can forget how they strove to give the fu ture subjunctive of “amo” , or how they used to stay up until two A. M. Monday m orning trying to think up an idea fo r that week-end composition or how they used to go to all the football games and almost cheer their lungs out or how they used to assemble in the auditorium each month and blush from ear to ear or how they would m arch up on the stage to- receive their honor card.

One of the greatest moments of our lives came when we made our first High School retreat. It was an experience that was unparalleled in our course with the probable exception of the reception into the Sodality of our Blessed Mother. We are unable to account the good derived from these exercises.

Basketball and repetitions came hand in hand. In regard to the first, the fresh­men of 1923 gave to the upper classmen something to remember. We put forth the greatest freshm an basketball team ever to represent St. Peter’s, which under the careful eye of Mr. Flannagan, S. J., sailed forw ard unobtrusively and returned with a record of fifteen straight victories.

At last! Christmas was here with its customary holidays. For some this was a vacation from their studies, but, fo r others, an opportunity of catching up with back work.

On our return from these holidays our course took on a real serious aspect, for we had before us the prospect of the mid-year exams. And now for the first time many of us were forced to burn the now well-known “mid-night oil”.

And now with the closing of the basketball season, the passing of the snow and the reading of the term ’s marks, we devoted ourselves to baseball and the straight­ening of our paths of learning, for in many of our roads the exams had left a dangerous curve.

Things now went along peacefully until the warm days of May were slowly gliding by. Then like a blast of thunder from a clear sky, came the cry from our professors about the “Province Examinations” . And as lightning usually follows the thunder, we realized with a flash what this meant to us.

We sought shelter from this terrible storm and found it in the annual “Prep Outing” to Indian Point.

R eturning from this we stepped into the worst part of the storm, i.e. the Exams themselves.

A fter weathering these, our ships of learning glided safely into port, to afford the crew a rest and to “ fuel up fo r the next stage of our journey.”

Time rolled on; September was here again and as L abor Day rolled by, we began to labor. As Sophomores we were able to look down upon some and oft did we take it into our hands to extract some of that over flowing freshness from those “ freshies” .

Here came the parting of the ways! Some of us became Greeks and others, Scientists, but this did not in the least dim the strong school spirit we acquired as Freshmen, for we remained the same united, happy and loyal band of Petrean students.

We found the “ going” as Sophomores the same as the preceding year though 3 little “ stiffer” and more interesting. So as Aeolus placed the cold blasts of winter in storage and sent the balm y zephyrs of spring, we all at once again looked forw ard to two things, one with delight the other with awe—the. Outing and the Province Exams.

A fter having a most enjoyable time on the first and having successfully passed the latter, we were again turned out from our now happy home.

Carried on by the fleeting wings of time, we arrived at the third lap of our journey through the Prep. This year was destined to be one of great advance­ment and progress in studies tempered with many enjoyable times.

It was in our Junior year that the Petrean first appeared in magazine form and this we can safely say was accomplished in great measure through the efforts of many a junior.

We began to contend seriously for places on the athletic and debating teams, and in the show. We take pride in boasting that the Juniors were not lacking in representation.

Seniors! Yes, we had now attained that long coveted title and could strut through the corridors, looking up to no one, except of course the faculty. But, “All that glitters is not gold” . It was not long before we realized this and with a determined will, we buckled down to our task, for now the great goal, the aim and desire of everyone was staring us in the face.

Again the class of ’27 gave to St. Peter’s something unprecedented in her history. We exemplified that unity and co-operation so manifest throughout our course, to bind all sections of Fourth Year, whether Greek or Science, under one common head assisted by an advisory board. Edward Connors holds the distinction of being St. Peter’s first “ Senior President” .

Above this we realized the signal honor which no class in St. Peter’s ever before acquired. We had the good fortune and honor of choosing one of our number to represent us at the Bicentennial celebration of the canonization of St. Aloysius Gonzaga. Justin Mahon was our selection and to him may be attributed the reason of St. Peter’s being known abroad, and by his actions, esteemed.

The year has passed. Our history at St. Peter’s ends. Our bow is almost finished, the curtain is rapidly descending, and now we have our hand upon the knob of life’s door. We go forth loyal and ever retaining those principles of manhood instilled into us with fatherly care by those self-sacrificing men. Our time has come!

We were the first of the year 1927 to depart from St. Peter’s. February found us taking our last examinations and it is with joy we say “Success crowned our

j . efforts” . We have from a distance, amidst other duties watched the advance of\ other activities at St. Peter’s, sad in the thought that because of graduation in

February we could take no p art in the final efforts of our 1927 class.

Lest you forget— George Saxenmeyer of our class finished his last days at St. Peter’s in a burst of glory with the basketball team and Frank Jarvis, W alter McDonnell and Thomas Hurley, lamented members of 4B, carried the Dramatic production through to success by their tireless efforts.

We have finished but our future work will bring nothing but honor to our Alma Mater. Results in this line have already made their appearance, more may be expected in the future.

W ith a record fo r faithfulness to every duty, scholastic and otherwise, we leave St. Peter’s to look fo r other worlds to conquer.

Our greatest pride during the year 1927 has been in the fact that we were represented each week by a great num ber of boys from the class. Joseph Lyons, a worthy member of our class, was Prefect of the Senior Sodality and we have tried faithfullv to emulate his virtues.

Athletic activities have been carried to success through the efforts of many of the members of 4B2. James Leavey and John Coughlin on the basketball court with Bill Dineen and Dalton doing their share on the baseball field.

Justin Mahon is speaking about the wonders of the Old W orld. Justin was our representative to the Eternal City during the recent Pilgrim age in honor of St. Aloysius Gonzaga.

The Mid-year examinations took but a small toll from us, so we go on with hope in our breasts that the final toll may be even smaller. We are departing, St. Peter’s, but we shall not forget your efforts fo r us.

W ith hearts that are light and hopes raised high the last year of our High School course draws to a close. For most of us this is indeed a happy hour, though with it is mingled a slight tinge of sorrow. We realize only too well that from now on the responsibilities become greater and that the lightsome days of boyhood must from the present assume a different aspect. W ith confidence in our past successes we go forth.

Edward Connors has upheld the honor of the class as the President of Fourth Year and as Football Manager, while Francis O’Brien has had all our eyes focused on him as he hurled the basketball from every angle of the court with perfect accuracy.

We wish to express our most sincere appreciation to all our Professors for their untiring interests in our behalf. We can only express this appreciation now but in the years to come may be able to show just what their efforts have meant to us.

Farewell, St. Peter’s, honor of the past shall always be thine if our efforts can in anywise aid.

Complete has been our victory. Not as the conquerers of old did we conquer, with blood and the sword, but with brain and brawn. V irgil came and is gone. Chemistry came and shall be no more. The sonorous language of Spain came and will remain forever. And we have won.

We have not led in honors at St. Peter’s. No, but we have led in one essential— school spirit. Ask “ Saranac” for confirmation of this. Dauntless in danger we have never feared to challenge— and thus we go forth to other duties, each one to go his own way— but all working with one object in view, the final conquering and a happy culmination of life’s work.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all who have helped us through our course at St. Peter’s.

Maurice Smith, a member of our class, faithful to duties on the football team and faithful co-worker to Mr. Cox, S.J. on the Year Book deserves our hearty thanks.

O ur first problem was the conquest of ourselves, the m olding of members of three second year classes into one united and loyal class.

During the past months the galley slaves of Ancient Greece have piloted us in their proud trirem es to the shores of Phrygia and now we are rap id ly nearing the fa ta l sands of Canaxa.

Refreshed in body and mind, we, the class of 3B4 have since last September united our efforts to bring out the qualities fo r which we have been known since our entrance at St. Peter’s. Success has not crowned our efforts at every point, but we go on in the hope that the close of this year will find us the banner class in third year.

One setback for us came in the form of Mr. Timney’s departure to other fields of labor. We desire to extend our sincere good wishes to Mr. Timney and trust he will be as successful in his new work as he was at the Prep. Our discomfiture at the loss of Mr. Timney has been greatly relieved by Mr. Mainzer’s novel way of instilling knowledge into what we are pleased to call “ our fertile minds.”

We have not held our class banquet as yet. Some have the audacity to say that “we are too closely attached to our money.”

In February, 1927, we entered Science H all as the baby class of that building. Our wonder grew as we gradually entered the various laboratories that were to be the scenes of our future efforts in scientific procedure.

During the month of M arch we held our class banquet. Honored by the pres­ence of learned Professors and many other Petrean notables a fine time and an enjoyable evening was enjoyed by all. We extend kind thanks to Messrs. Cowan, Metchan and Finn fo r their efforts in this regard.

Bill Coleman is upholding the honor of the class on the Varsity baseball squad.

Cowan, Donovan, Lee, Hogan, Coffey and Fitzpatrick have earnestly en­deavored during the year to raise the glorious standard of 3A to its supreme and appropriate heights.

Thus fa r we have enjoyed the idiosyncrasies of Addison and Steele elaborated on by Mr. McNally. English we must admit is our mainstay.

Novel sophomoric fervor and enthusiasm acted as a sturdy and unyielding ini­tiative when the signal was given. The Summer spirit died, the open ceased to beckon, the grind was on.

T ruly our class was a m ixture of m any different metals, in various different moulds. Under the pedagogical intellect of Mr. Connolly, S.J., we attacked Caesar viciously. Around and around we soared, leaping over the sm aller hur­dles and incidently incessantly preparing ourselves for the high and precipitous hurdles, “The Anabasis and Homer.”

Now as we pass the half-way m ark, our new insignia of 2B1 takes on a new meaning and with the end in view our tired heads nod and bob joyously and victoriously. A lthough we have indeed taken little part in public activities, with­in our own little circle is hidden true enthusiasm.

Lo! and behold! we are now Sophomores. Old friends are once more sitting together and friendships go on undisturbed. Great has been our change and modified, to say the least, has become our appearance from the use of “Stacomb” and “Longies.”

We claim as our heart’s desire, Greek; and proudly boast that it is and will be m ore conducive to our future interests than Science. Be this as it may, we have succeeded in passing all the tests with the highest honors in second year. This may not be a conclusive proof in favor of Greek, but to our puny minds it is something.

The Junior Sodality may indeed be said to flourish since nearly every boy in our class is a member. Our faithfulness to our Lady speaks for itself and She is not forgetting us.

As yet we have not broken into the Varsity ranks in athletics but promising material is forthcoming during the senior years.

We say in closing “ Watch the province Exam s!”

Outstanding among the classes taking the Science Course is class 2B3, noted for its keen and active interest in things biological. Dissecting becomes us better than bisecting. We make no pretense at being A1 M athematic’s students.

Some of our most prom inent members left us in February to form another class. The cause fo r this change was the overcrowded condition of our first term class.

Our class football team reigned supreme during the football season, defeating all the other classes of our division. “Unnie” Mann represented us on the V ar­sity football team. Mr. Sullivan acted as our coach.

The class of 2B4 takes upon itself the responsibility for all the harm that may come to any that were blinded by our brilliancy. We have been going around the track at a pretty fast pace and our celerity has dazzled some. Shall we stop? No!

We have organized a basketball team under the captaincy of our one and onlyShanahan. Could we be otherwise than successful?

Mr. O’Brien is teaching us Latin and under his able direction we are advancing with rapid strides. W ould you prove this fact? Come in and see!

As the end draws near we look forward with eager hope to third year and itsmany prospects. W ith the intellectual and physical m aterial now present in our class we should make a name fo r ourselves and St. Peter’s. May the days of third year dawn quickly.

The Mid-Year examinations have left the class intact except in two instances. We owe this creditable record to the earnest efforts of Mr. Mainzer, Mr. Ricci- ardelli and Mr. Sullivan. Mr. Connors, S.J., took the professor’s chair in Latin during the second term.

The issue of prim e im portance at the present tim e is the form ation of a class basketball quintet. All preparations are being made under the supervision of Mr. Mainzer. We hope to have a team that will reach the standards of last year’s team.

Jerry Flesey and Ignatius Blanchard were numbered among the Prep, football squad and distinguished themselves honorably.

Johnny W arren is contemplating a travel with a donkey through the Deserted Village. However, Eddie Annette discounts this claim, declaring that the v il­lagers would not be able to distinguish the real donkey.

Our debut into second year has been made very pleasing because of the fact that we are the first of mid-year classes at St. Peter’s to be given a choice of Sci­ence or Greek. Eleven of our number have; because of this favor forsaken the ranks of Science to try and follow in the footsteps of the Ancient Homer. Mr. Shaughnessy is patiently leading the way.

The first name of each of our class officers is John. W hat a strange coincidence.

The afternoon “Tea Parties” of Mr. R icciardelli have not found favor with us. We p refer basketball instead; hence everyone is on his good behavior.

Several brawny, broad-shouldered youths in our class give promise of future athletic ability. Eet the call come quickly for we are ready. For the remainder of our time at St. Peter’s we shall endeavor to uphold the traditions of St. Peter’s and also distinguish ourselves in the eyes of the school and the world.

We stand as the first of the Freshman classes at least in name. The end of our first year now looms up on the horizon and we begin to glance sheepishly at the Seniors and say, “We will s'oon be in your places.” Latin indeed has had fo r us its difficulties, but Mr. Sinnott is leading the way carefully and we follow after

< even as Aeneas followed the Sybil of Cumae.

Our class Orchestra has not come into its own to the present, but there will be noise aplenty before the first of June.

The basketball tournam ent brought forth our class team, but not with any great success. Practice is our motto from now on and perhaps in the coming tourna­ment an appreciable success will be ours.

Carlin would like to know when the funds are coming in for the banquet. Live in hope, Tom.

The class extends thanks to all teachers fo r the whole-hearted interest during the year.

It gives extreme pleasure to introduce to you, one of the most interesting classes in the Prep. Of course, we are only Freshmen, but we have a surprising amount of school spirit fo r a first-year class.

Our studies and the little worries that accompany them are lightened through the efforts of our wonderful teachers who offer themselves wholly and unsparing­

ly-

It would be h ard to pick the most popular boy in our class, because all are so kind and generous that they all might be rated on a par as fa r as popularity goes. Under this heading we would place the figures 1B2 and feel perfectly justified.

Class politics are efficiently handled by Bill Rider, whom we hope will exer­cise a capable jurisdiction for the rest of the year.

We hope to win the basketball tournam ent in our division, perhaps we may meet the seniors for the title of the school.

One balm y Autumn morning, September the thirteenth to be exact, we entered the Prep, and were shown to our class room, then known as 1A3. Since then we have advanced one step, and are now known as 1B3. We have thirty-five staunch members in the class, everyone of whom would delight the most critical of teach-

We have not as yet had an opportunity to show our worth in athletics, fo r as you know we are only youngsters. When the time comes we will be ready to sus­tain the glory of St. Peter’s on the athletic field as well as in the class room.

W illiam Seeley, of Bayone renown, is our Class President. Robert Vincent is the Vice-President and has proved himself a man of promising m anagerial quali­ties. You lead, Rob.— we follow.

Like a sm all child in a bustling congregation, without its mother, was the feeling experienced by us upon entering St. Peter’s.

Integritas, F idelitas et Industria is our class motto, and results in all the exam­inations have proved that it was a suitable motjo to choose.

Our class basketball team won the tournam ent in our division, defeating all other first-year class teams. Our hearts swell with pride, for we are mere midgets. We are in high hopes of defeating the second-year teams when we meet them.

Our heartiest congratulations are extended to the class of ’27 and our most earnest wish is that all will meet with the success so well deserved by a St. Peter’s graduate.

Nicholas Novack is our representative in the Dramatic Society and Edward Spinella and Joseph M ulligan contributed articles to the Petrean, our school pub­lication. Here we pause to express our gratitude to our teachers for their zealous efforts throughout the year.

In conclusion we hope that next September will find all our members returned to the Prep, ready to start the second year with a will.

One glorious m orning in September found us, thirty nervous, serious and ex­pectant boys, gathered for the first time as students of the Prep. In an incredibly short space of time, however, we became thoroughly fam iliar with our new sur­roundings and all signs of nervousness disappeared.

Mr. Shaughnessy is now steering our course through the intricacies of Latin and we must say we have some shining lights, though, as is natural, a number of us are finding the pace hard.

Our class football team achieved rem arkable success, emerging unscathed from five interclass competitions. The basketball team also seems destined for its share of glory.

Next year our efforts will be concentrated on attendance at the meetings of our Lady’s Sodality. We must accept a reproach in this regard this year.

May we follow in the wake of the departing graduates and have a like success in all the activities of St. Peter’s.

Early on that bright, sunny m orning of September 13, 1926, the members of our class, together with other first-year students, eagerly assembled in the school yard of old St. Peter’s and gazed in awe and asonishment upon the several bu ild­ings that now comprise the only Jesuit High School in Jersey City. The inspira­tions and feelings that then moved the hearts of the now thirty-two members of ourclass will ever be the happiest thoughts of even a thousand vivid memories thatare bound to arise during our four-year anticipated stay at High School.

In the vision that now lies before us we see the fulfilment of our ambitions and we have all pledged ourselves, forevermore, devoted sons of our Alma Mater.

Our teachers have faced their task, and it is no slight one, with will and de­term ination and we are proud to acknowledge them as our first tutors at St. Peter’s.

Due perhaps to inexperience, our class has made but little headway in athletics. Better results are promised for next year.

The first entries into St. Peter’s for the year 1927. We indeed are still new to our surroundings and our history must of necessity be short. As the days com­mence to get brighter we also keep step and grow in wisdom and brightness. Our work has been slow, but we are making up in a short space what was lost in a long space.

Our motto is, “Labor omnia v in c it” In this we hope to be successful and all show a willingness to live up to the chosen symbol.

We are very grateful to our teachers for their labors in our behalf.

PETREANThe advance in literary progress at St. Peter’s is attested to by many facts, but

best by the School magazine, T h e P e t r e a n . From a m inor little paper it has grown to a full-fledged magazine.

This year’s publication was especially good and without hesitancy we say “ ranks with the best among High Schools.” Stories, poems, observations, humor and A lum ni notes make up the book and gives to each student a fine opportunity to realize what is taking place in and about the school.

Facility in publishing this difficult work could indeed be more readily accom­plished if every student would take an active interest in sending articles to the editor. We congratulate the large num ber of men having cuticles in this, year’s issue and hope that, with the growth of the book, each boy will have the desire to place an article between its pages.

Replete with knowledge the P e t r e a n was put forth at the commencement of the second term. Mr. Edward Dooley, S.J., was in charge and it was due to hisuntiring efforts that the book has attained a high point of perfection. We hope to see the success of this book continued.

BEAUDEVIN DEBATING SOCIETYOnce m ore our Senior Debating Society is coming into her own. During the

past few years we have not by any means m ade ourselves famous in oratorical work. This year, however, under the able guidance of Fr. Cerrute, S.J., the work has again taken on a new impetus and our progress has been admirable.

On Friday evening, December 10, our chosen orators met the N. Y. U. Fresh­men in a spirited debate on the Philippine question. The Beaudevin debaters, defending the negative side of this long mooted topic, won the decision, though we must, in justice to our opponents, say that they had the best individual speaker of the evening. Peter Daly, W alter McDonnell and Thomas Hurley, all of this year’s graduating class, will long be remembered for their fiery language on this occasion.

Just to prove that we are really serious about this debating question, in March we journeyed to W ashington, to try the powefs of a few more of our oratorical aspirants against Georgetown Prep. It was the Philippine question coming to the fore once more. A fter a very close contest the decision was rendered, though not unanim ously. We lost, sorry to say; but the kindness of our opponents and the hospitality shown us, compensated to a great degree for the loss. Peter Daly once more represented us here, and Robert McTague and Francis Hayden joined him in his efforts.

We would like to tell of the many weekly debates in the school, but can hardly do so here. The speaking from the floor has time after time brought forth favor­able comments from our zealous M oderator.

The Loyola and Regis Debates, together with our own St. Peter’s School De­bate, still remain. We feel confident of victory. The prowess of St. Peter’s speak­ers is great.

TH E MULRY DEBATING SOCIETYEarly in September Mr. James Connolly, S.J., was placed in charge of this,

our younger society of orators. We cannot boast that we are ready to meet any or all school debating teams, on any question or topic; nevertheless, we, in our own hearts, feel that now, as never before, we could stand before any audience and ex­press our ideas in a clear-cut manner. This indeed is an accomplishment that makes our hearts jum p with pride because it is the desire of every boy in the so­ciety to be able to express his thoughts fittingly.

We gather together every Tuesday afternoon. The meeting assumes the form of an open debate from the floor, with every one getting a chance to have his little say. You may be sure that we make the most of this opportunity to talk, realizing that it is only through practice that we can become accomplished speak­ers. We have now attained that “ right-at-home” spirit, due to the efforts of our

t M oderator.IaI \ Our powers of Elocution have been mainly developed through the information,

given by Mr. Connolly, on how to construe an argument. Clear articulation is heavily stressed at all meetings and we are never allowed to forget gestures. N aturally they have to be apt and fitted to the various points of our subjects.

Next year we shall have to fill the places of the fine debating teams in the Beaudevin Debating Society of 1927. We shall be ready and waiting. We have been am ply repaid for the slight sacrifices we made in order to attend the Weekly meeting this year. Why is it that more men, whom God has blessed with strong voices, have not made the most of a fine opportunity? Start in next year and de­velop your speaking powers. The field is a wide one and good speakers are n^e'led.

DRAMATICSIt is with pleasure that we introduce the Dramatic Society into our pages. The

work of this year has surpassed in many ways all other previous productions.

The first success of the Society was in unearthing some of the younger mem­bers of the school and in m aking them prom ising candidates for the future stage. Notable among these new celebrities was Thomas Nestor; no, we are not forget­ting M ichael Novak and M aurice Smith— who could?

The play, given in the school hall on the night of December 17th, found all the members covering themselves with glory. Entitled “Billy” the production itself was an ap t choice. That it was a success is attested to by the fact that all present laughed heartily, or sym pathetically sighed, during the fu ll three hours that the p lay lasted. Thomas Hurley, as the m other of the heroine, showed a keen sense of humor, and Desmond M urray as “Billy” proved conclusively that, minus his teeth, he could still talk. Peter Daly took the feminine role, as the Heroine, and acquitted him self in the style of past perform ances well known to all. We would like to go through each part of the p lay and give each member his due. but time or space will not allow. Robert McTague, F rank Jarvis and George Nugent need only a passing mention, since they are the veterans of the society.

We could make but one comment in passing. Could not the hall be completely filled at the future perform ances of this Society.

SODALITIES OF OUR LADYSt. Peter’s now has three Sodalities of Our Lady flourishing. All Sodalities held

their prelim inary meetings shortly after the opening of school. Fr. Flem ing was the guiding power of the Senior Sodality. The num bers attending this Sodality during the year have been greater than at any other time in the career of the col­lege. We owe our present successes to the intercession of M ary Immaculate.

The Interm ediate Sodality of the Blessed Virgin M ary has as Director, Mr. J. F. Cox, S.J. This Sodality meets every Tuesday afternoon in the Domestic Chapel, Senior building. W ith fervent devotion the office of Our Lady is recited each week and a short talk given.

The F irst F irst Year Sodality meets every Thursday morning. Mr. Joseph Con­nors, S.J., is in charge. Talks on Manliness, Love of Our Lady and her Divine Son, bring home to all the value of a Catholic education.

Next year it will be the effort of all to become and remain staunch members of the Sodality following the example of this year’s Senior Class.

TH E ROMAN PILGRIMAGEThe last blessing was given, the last Godspeed wished and with the scarlet color­

ing of C ardinal Hayes’ robes still vieing with the heightened color of our own ex­cited faces we were off. It is a long cry from the carved benches of the classroom to the enviable heights of a representative to the Aloysian tomb, the patron of boys, so it was not without a little hidden fear that we listened to the farewell cheer­ing of the classmates, the proud looks of our parents, the m ottled groups that stood wide-eyed at our good fortune and the ever-inspiring name of Home caused not a few quickened beats of our already too full hearts. M ercifully the long, deep wail of the ship’s whistle allayed the interm inable yet a ll fleeting last moment. There was a throb, another longer, deeper moan and the dock receded leaving us to take courage for our mission one from the other.

F irst night at sea and there was not any smiling and blinking stars to ease the initiation of the tyros. No, indeed, we were still frightened Prep school boys who would start at the unannounced blasts of the fog siren, would still stand amazed in the salon and wonder if we were walking to the bow or the stern of this palace of the seas. But knights we were and as knights we would carry ourselves.

Long then grew the hours and tired the picture of heaving waters and flat greens and blues so that the days were spent in playing chess in the salons, shuffle-board on the decks and weaving confidences with one another while curled up in the deck chairs. One day was as the preceding, except perhaps the unfolding of the finest and best characters we shall ever have the happiness and good fortune to ex­perience, the characters of our two chaplains, Fr. Tallon, S.J., and Fr. Fleming, S. J., both gentlemen of unlimited knowledge and best of all, men with hearts of a John of the Gospels. This occasion is eagerly taken to thank our chaplains for the ideals they gave b irth to, the weary hours they filled with their pleasant chats and the high target held up to us. The heaviness of our positions as representatives lost most of its awe in their company.

Time upon time we looked out on the restless ocean and it was a sign for run­ning to the ra ils when a tram p, or other passanger steamer passed us, gave us the courteous salute of the m ariner and then passed on. And yet with unconcern did we gaze at a tiny black line that rose off the port bow. It was merely a line and nothing more until one half hour’s travel proved this line to be a lighthouse perched on the frowning cliffs of the Scilly Islands. Then, indeed were the thoughts of a Columbus, Balboa and a M arquette crowded into our hearts. Land Ahoy! and for almost a week the word was but a memory, a thing of the past. Yet here was France awaiting us, France of our prim ary grade geography become a reality.

Six days after the tram p-tram p-tram p of the boy knights had been heard in our own great metropolis, the quaint little town of Cherbourg beheld our smiling countenances. A passing glance of amazement from the onlookers, a hasty march to the train and Cherbourg passed as did the thousand waves that lapped the Berengaria’s sides,— forgotten in the anticipation that pervaded the entire body of what was yet to come.

W hat place is this looming up before us? Liseux,— The Little Flower,— St. Therese: all three go hand in hand. Our journey was not to be delayed, but we

must see Carmel. Thence were our steps directed and devotion filled our hearts fo r we were enabled to see the magnificent and modern building of the Carmelite convent and the relics of St. Therese. We passed from Liseux with thoughts only of St. Therese and having noticed the many inscriptions of thanks engraven upon the walls of her chapel we well realized that she ‘was spending her heaven doing good upon earth .’

P aris was the next scene of our wonderment. Reminiscences of the W orld W ar were brought to our attention by the train in which the armistice was signed, and the taxis which carried the soldiers of France to stem the tide of the first onrush of the Germans during the W orld W ar.

We boys had left America to honor a w arrior, hero and saint. We could not but pay tribu te in passing to one of the w orld’s greatest soldiers and warriors, Napo­leon. Hence the visit to the tomb of a nation’s hero. The whole interior of the tomb is of white m arble, reflecting the soft, bluish white light that seeps through the dome and bathes the resting place of the conqueror with light. The sepulchre is a massive chunk of brown Tyrian m arble, exquisitely shaped but, as a soldier would have it, unadorned.

The Louvre next drew our attention but haste sped us on and we could but snatch fleeting glances of the Thinker of Rodin, Leonardo De Vinci’s Mona Lisa and the Venus De Milo.

The twin towers of Notre Dame next beckoned us on to the Seine and now as I look back it seems that P aris recalls only churches. Statues of all descriptions, of St. Denis, of Joan of Arc were the objects of a group of open mouthed boys who would linger too long at one thing and bewail the loss of time when some new “best” presented itself. Uppermost in our minds was the slogan “post Alpes, Roma” and we were eager to get to the vortex of all this beauty, church treasures, and crowded wonderment.

The little town of Medane first offered the fairy tale picture of the white cowled Alps. Like tired monks the m ountains huddled together and one taller than the rest raised its head and looked down inquiringly upon us, we were so little a part of the surroundings. Turin and Genoa passed, called up a few thoughts as to their likeness of American cities and the magic wand of the traveller was again passed over us and we were racing along the shores of the M editerranean while another monastery of lonesome mountains pulled other white cowls about their heads and shoulders and someone whispered “The Appenines.”

A sharp turn inland, a quickened pace of the train and our breath followed the beat as we passed the leaning Tower of Pisa and the Cathedral. How-wanton was our waste when we were in abundance! And now when I have nothing but a very good memory of the trip I wish that I had the opportunity to have lingered' where and as long as I liked, and even then the long years of Methusela would not have been sufficient to have sated the curiosity of my soul.

And then all the anticipations of the last long week, all the splendid dreams we had of a more splendid Rome crowded in upon us. We were on the last leg of our journey and it was not without a little tinge of loneliness, naturally , but it may have been the lonely atmosphere of the recent mountain scenery that caused this feeling and with the swelling hearts of Knights of the Infant Christ we entered

Rome, The E ternal, and fully agree with the adage, “ See Rome and Die.” We m ight as well as far as further aesthetic happiness is concerned for now in our youth we have looked fu ll into the face of the blinding sun of beauty and it will be difficult for us to look upon other beauties of this world without a slight squint of com parative appraisal.

Christmas Eve and we are looking from the Seven H ills of Rome, attempting a vain review of our Roman H istory and experiencing the th rill that can only be had by being present in the city where God’s vicar upon earth resides. Real honest to goodness American handshakes and real homely M erry Christmas greetings from the American Jesuits studying in Rome and we were quite at ease in our new sur­roundings.

Carols, carols and more carols and Christmas Day broke upon the city of God. During the day Fr. O’Rourke, form er student of Holy Cross College, took us in tow. W ith such a guide there was not much of interest either ecclesiastical or profane that we missed and if we did miss anything it was because the words that fell from his lips were more interesting than the pile itself. The Via Sacra stretched out be­fore us and a thousand concomitant thoughts left the history to be reacted for itself. Then the Coliseum, the arch of Titus and the hoary ruins of the temple of Con­stantine placed us in a position to view the Capitol through the arch of Septimus. We tired of looking agape at the Etruscan heirogliphics and went to the scene of the M am ertine prison where Cataline was executed and where more interestingly Peter the Apostle was imprisoned. From the prison we moved to the Rostra Vetera and there listened to the dead echoes of a thousand stirring speeches. From here it was but a stone’s throw to the temples of Castor and Pollux and the searing beauties of the home of the Vestal virgins. A right turn and up the Palatine and we were before the massive palace of Diocletian, who did so much to swell the ranks of our m artyrs. This as all other palaces in Rome have been so despoiled of their priceless treasures that only the ground plan and the broken columns bear mute testimony to the glory that once reigned. From the top of this hill we took pictures of the Forum and the Coliseum. On to the palace of Domitian and here again one can get an insight into the glory that was once Rome’s. A vast am phi­theatre with long galleries and double tiers of columns hung with incense burners and glittering forms of the Praetorian guards seem to await the blare of a trum pet and ancient Rome would awaken to one more round of grandeur and then be con­tent to rest forever more in the dust and debris that is fast covering up the remains of its glories. A short walk from the Forum and we were standing under the beet­ling arches of the Coliseum. A replica of the Coliseum can never be had for within those murky walls is written a history such that pen of man can never write, but there are many souls in eternal bliss this very moment who thank the Coliseum for the opportunity offered and no doubt smiled upon our faces while we stood blenched and pale at the history this mole conjured up.

The procession now moved to more lively and Catholic interests. The five basilicas with their papal altars are now the center of our interests, and what most surprised us was the commonplace appearance they offered from the exterior but within are gathered together the best in adornments that the charities of the world could purchase. M arbles, mosaics, paintings, pillars, columns, galleries, reliquaries all in a riot of splendour and devotion. Amid it all the treasures in the

Church of Santa Cruce evinced the greatest interest from me, for here were es- conced the rem ains of the true Cross, a nail and a thorn that had caused my Saviour excruciating pains. How pitiably trifling and how easily forgotten now are the splendours of a Rome that knew not the Son of God. Little but what is personal m ay be written here while we viewed the relics of the w orld’s greatest tragedy, so it w ill suffice to say that the visit to this one place repaid me a hundred fold fo r the long journey entailed.

Then a visit to the Jesuit house and there we were presented to the Father General of the Jesuits, a little m an with every sign of untiring energy and indistinguishable from those about him except through his readiness to smile graciously. He spoke very kindly to us in Latin but with such rapidity that were it in our own native tongue it would have been difficult to have followed the gist of his remarks. Father Tallori gave us a summary of Father General’s words in which he expressed the satisfaction and appreciation he felt at our coming, the seriousness of our faith and the great need of all boys to im itate their model St. Aloysius more closely. Then with a sincere clasp of our hands he gave each a well designed medal as a m em orial of our visit and bade us goodbye with his paternal blessing.

The services in honor of our patron were conducted on three days. The first day took the form of a procession in honor of the saint in which the beautiful silver reliquary containing the skull of the saint was carried in veneration to the church of St. Ignatius and there placed on the altar. On the second day members of the different delegations from all the countries represented, spoke in the tongue of their nation. The th ird day the books signed by thousands of boys from numerous different countries pledging their fealty to the Boy Saint and promising a more close im itation of him were placed on the altar and the dedication of the same took place. A very fiery and vehement sermon was given in Italian followed by Benediction and Saint Aloysius became more to us than ever.

The celebration services took us to St. Peter’s. Long, gleaming, vast worlds of grayish white send the im agination to dwell on eternal things and here do men appear in their true worth for they seem but tiny black dots that crawl over the placid sheen of the m arble floor. A loft two huge angels stand guard over this latter day paradise. The church of St. Peter is in the form of a Latin Cross with the altar in the place that the Sacred head occupied on that other cross. A restful look from the heights where the church trium phant is pictured and our eyes rest on the tomb of St. Peter which lies under the pontifical altar, and opens on a sunken nave surrounded by eighty-nine bronze lamps that are kept in continual fire and whose smoke form s fantastic shapes on the walls, in fact the forms are just what the watcher would have them for here the outside world is a thing of the past and thoughts of the same would be wasted among these other objects that bespeak eternal truths.

The Holy Father said Mass for the Pilgrim s in the chapel above the portico of St. Peter’s. We ascended the royal staircase after passing the Swiss Guards at the entrance and arranged ourselves in the chapel to await the Pope. About fifteen minutes before his appearance a section of the Palatine Guards, little fellows in brilliant red uniform s and carrying rifles, came in and took up their station. The Holy Father then entered surrounded by Swiss guards in yellow and blue stripes,

161

S lW Q T i f t f a e& tt

carrying pikes and wearing helmets and preceded by several Monsignori. The Pope then said Mass after which we received Communion and later in the day were re­ceived in audience by the Holy Father. We cannot go into a description of that audience. Suffice it to say that the desire of our hearts was satiated and we were resolved to live up to the standards of our Patron as youths of America.

Next day we assisted at the Pontifical Mass in honor of St. Aloysius. A few words of the Italian customs preceding and during the Mass may well bring to a con­clusion our little summary. Five minutes before Mass was to start the air was sud­denly rent with a great shout that swelled to a roar and echoed and re-echoed in the vaulted roof and dome. Then the long silver peal of the trumpets, like the voices of an angelic choir pierced the noise. Slow pacing Cardinals appeared in solemn procession. Each walked to his seat and stood. After them came the Pope carried in a sedan chair and wearing on his head the trip le crown. Upon the a r­rival of the Pope at the altar, the Cardinals all, twenty-two in number, knelt and kissed his feet. The Cardinals then put on their mitres and the Mass started. Vestment passed and repassed through many hands. The entire Mass was prac­tically said at the Pope’s throne, the Holy Father proceeding to the altar for the consecration. The Sacred Host was brought to the Holy Father after the Con­secration. The entire ceremony was very impressive and we are sure found favor in heaven with him in whose honor it was offered.

Our days at Rome passed all too quickly and we must return. But there was joy in our hearts. We had honored our Patron, made firm resolves, sung our Christmas carol in the Holy City and met the Holy Father. W hat more could the heart of a young American boy desire. Might we but carry out some of the wishes then in our hearts in the days to come, we would indeed be happy at the thought of this visit. It was with such thoughts as these that we turned our backs on Rome, to once more take up our work in the United States.

FOOTBALLThe cool, crisp days of October brought forth m any prom ising candidates for

the Prep, football squad of 1927. True, we had lost m any of our best players through graduation in June, but our hopes were undimmed, we had conquered in the past with young m aterial; why not now?

Our first game only served to raise our greatest hopes skyward, fo r we de­feated Paterson High, a form idable eleven, 20— 0. This game was well played from beginning to end, our team playing like a well-oiled machine. But from now on the story changes.

Luck played an extremely active part in the next game. Brooklyn Prep, came over to Jersey City just to see what we had to offer. Fine, we thought; but after four periods ended and we found ourselves at the short end of a seven-to-six score, we began to say, “We should have won.” Fumbles in this game were costly fo r us and naturally beneficial to our rivals. However, what was there to do but m anifest the old St. Peter’s spirit, take our beating like men and trust in fortune fo r what the next week might present.

Nothing daunted by our defeat of the week before, our brave w arriors took the field against Seton H all Prep, on the 14th of October. All our efforts were useless. Seton H all heavily outweighed us and though we fought with grim de­term ination, time after time we were turned back from a near score by a superior team. Nothing but praise must be given to the team that beat us. They deserved to win.

We want a touchdown! We want a touchdown! That was the cry that floated over the Jersey Ball Park on the last Saturday in October. St. Peter’s was p lay­ing Union Hill. But no touchdown came. No; Union H ill did not make one— there could be no score on this day. Both teams were evenly matched and the re­sult must have remained the same had the teams kept playing all night. Our courage was buoyed up to the highest pitch. Our team had the fighting spirit, and well might we look fo r great things during the remainder of the season. Alas!

Our hopes had to remain in a stationary position, for on the following week Asbury Park High School held us to a scoreless tie. The mighty had certainly fallen. We played a substitute team, however, during most of this game, for we were to play Lincoln High three days later, and we desired to win from Lincoln.

Yes, Lincoln won. Consolation is theirs. Let us hope it will be short lived. It was our first defeat at the hands of our neighboring School since our foundation. W hat a surprise. The score was close, 3-0. We are not chagrined. On the con­trary, we like to see another team win, but we deny that to the victor belong the spoils. That can never be in every case.

Once more the hopes go up. We played our best game against Fordham early in November. W ith a ready will our boys went at their work and conquered to

dazzling plays our team crossed the goal three times. Mann shone as the star in this game and we look for more from him in days to come. The season was fast drawing to1 a close and our success was nothing much to boast about.

No our greatest game of the year was also a loss. Not indeed a loss that we are ashamed of, fo r we met our ancient rivajs, Dickinson, man to man, play to play, and outplayed them at every point. An unfortunate pass gave them a touch­down and after that the game. We pick no individual stars in this game. Every m an worked from start to finish and all came home satisfied. Dickinson had beaten Lincoln, 38-0, and we had been beaten by Lincoln, and now we had barely been conquered by the conquerors of Lincoln.

The 1927 football season has come and gone. You, as the reader of this little narrative, can hardly realize what difficulties were to be faced at the commence­ment of the year. We can and do realize them. G reat,credit must be given to Mr. Dougherty, our coach, for the efficient way in which the team improved. It will be with interest that we shall watch the turn of events at St. Peter’s next year. There will be an experienced team on the field, and though we hate to broadcast the future, we cannot refrain from saying, “The tale will be different.”

BASKETBALLWhen the football championship aspirations had been ground to dust in the

last game of the year, undaunted Peterites confidently looked forw ard to basket­ball. Of course we would miss some of the old reliables of last year but we had a number of youngsters able and ready to take their places. But Rome fell. So did St. Peter’s basketball team in 1927. We lost to our only rivals, Dickinson, and alas! we were, much to our chagrin, beaten by Lincoln, and that by one lonely point. But against these two reverses stand out eight straight games won. We know of other teams that would envy that record.

Whole hearted support was given to us by the school, but frequent cuts in the squad, necessitated mostly through failures in studies, left us weak toward the close of the season. George Saxenmeyer stood out as our foremost star and Francis O’Brien aided us m aterially by his rapid fire passing.

No championship honors are ours this year but with pride we boast of having conquered Seton Hall Prep and Union Hill High School, both of whom competed for the State Championship in the Preparatory and High School divisions.

The last cheers are over and we feel glad that the team produced this year was indeed worthy of St. Peter’s. Captain Leavey and three valuable assistants leave us this year. We shall need others to fill the places of these dogged and persistent workers. They have been known for their fighting spirit and fa ir play. Their work shall not be forgotten.

TRACKWith the opening of the new school year, many hopes were held among the

followers of the cinder path, fo r a winning season at St. Peter’s. Prospects of a most eventful track year have been turned into disappointments, fo r we have had no place for indoor practice. The armory, our one solace during the running season has been in a state of repair nearly all season— result— St. Peter’s has no successful track team.

However we have put our hopes in a few and they have not failed us. Our relay team, due to ambition to conquer against all obstacles, has accomplished the unexpected and stands out as one of the best in the city. “ H arry” Cronan, “Jack” Flynn, “Dick” King, and our anchor man, “H al” Bayerl have our most sincere congratulations.

/ / Let track by no means be a by-word. 1 he out-door season is here and rershm g T' field is large. Competition will be strong but we await the trophies with expect-I ancy. Fight bravely and victory will be ours.

Could not St. Peter’s next year run an Annual Indoor meet? We see no reason why this cannot be done. Who is the man to make the start? It means a little work but life means work. This would be one way of putting track on a firm foundation at the Prep. You have the runners and the spirit to win. Somebody put a few plans into execution and the results will be promising. Succsss has come in football, success has been ours in basketball, success always makes an appearance in baseball. Why not in track? Think it over. We expect some news.

Robert McTague is desirous that all who can run even a little come out and give the manager a chance to pick for the Fordham m'set. Third place was our best at this meet last year. . . . First or second it must be in May.

BASEBALLW hat is that regret?W e have only one regret in sending to press this article.

“ It is impossible to give you the record of the victories we confidently expect to make in this sport.”

Eight letter men of last year’s baseball team remain to take their places in the ranks this year. We foresee the County Championship and hope for the State Prep. School title. W hat hopes could be higher? True we have lost “H ipp” Evers our star tw irler but M cPartland is ready and has stood out supreme in more than one baseball contest ere this. He must stand forth as the conquerer in many this year.

The candidates have answered the call. A lready the arms of Ryan, Dineen and M cPartland have limbered up and coach Dougherty is smiling. That smile means much, so we smile also. We must leave the team in their preparation, assuring them of our loyalty.

The Midnight Railroad of Southern points south was being sued by Exotic Holmes, a re­spectable colored gentleman of Birmingham, for damages “dene” to his wife Florian, and daughter Julius when the road’s express demolished his car.
