A t last the ray of hope, which has been faintly shining during the last ten years, has burst forth into its former brilliance with the announcement of the opening of the New College. N ow it is the duty of the loyal A lum ni to help to raise it up to its former standards. The class of 1930 sincerely hopes that with God’s grace, the College will again stand forth with all of its former radiance to send out into the world, men, endowed with the Jesuit principles of loyalty and character.

rkifi dSoow ^ new Jesuit College will arise and grace the town of Jersey City. The Fathers of the Society of Jesus will once again receive Catholic youths from near and far into its fair portals and will en­deavor to teach them the Christian ideals and principles. Embark with us in your ship of jancy and try to imagine, as does our artist on the opposite page, the beautiful St. Peter s College as it really will be in a few years.

A complete and accurate knowledge of the most important phases of the arts, science and literature embodies the Jesuit system of training. W e have known kind and competent teachers dur­ing our stay here at the H igh School, and we are sure that in the new St. Peter s College we shall enjoy the train­ing of professors, fully as proficient in their work and as understanding of human nature as those of our past four years.

Before us flows the river of L ife. Everyone of us must embark sooner or later on this river with its hidden rocks and snags, always endangering our journey. To be good pilots we must be trained in our art and be ready for all emergencies, lying before us. A s we stand gazing down this broad stream, we trust that most of us will put off our sailing and linger beneath the loving arms of the reborn College, there to gain strength and courage for our journey in the future.

Farew ell to you, St. Peter’s H igh,I ’m leaving your domain,

A nd as I leave, I ponder o’er T h e years not spent in vain.

I recollect those pleasant daysW here many friendships grew,

T o Junior, Senior and Science H all,I bid a fond adieu.

I ’ll not forget the old classroomW here K now ledge held her drill,

Cafe, and lab. and old school hall;— A Prepster never w ill.

A nd when in later years I ’ll trod T hrough life’s perplexing maze,

I still shall cherish mem’ries ofT h e friends of Prep school days.

So now farewell, St. Peter’s H igh, A nd though I now depart,

A true affection w ill remainD eep down w ithin my heart.

A lw ays quiet and gen tlem anly in every re ­spect, he has g a ined the esteem and the a d ­m ira t ion of his professors and fellow stu ­dents.

w ith the h ea r ty peals of laugh te r caused by the never-en d in g u tterances of our own “A zzy .” M a n y long and irksome struggles w ith Cicero and V irgil h ave been changed into explosive sessions of m ir th by his comi­cal facia l expressions. “A zzy” has had a c a re e r th a t could easily have tu rned a wiser head . He has a lw ays shown a keen in te r ­est in class and he is an example of the t ru e St. P e te r ’s spirit. “A zzy” hopes to t r a v ­el to South Bend, Ind., next fall to enroll a t Notre Dame, and, real iz ing his genius and happy disposition, we are confident tha t his vocation will guide him over the steep roads because personality and pow er will surely ascend to the c row ning hills of fame.

young fellow who has c a rv e d out a niche fo r himself in the annals of St. P e te r ’s. U n ­assum ing and dependable , he has won a b r ig h t place in our hear ts which will never be lost. F irs t in the pe rfo rm ance of religious duties, first in studies and first in play. Joe ’s ca ree r is a model of actual practice of the golden rule of m odera tion , applicat ion and earnestness. H e has become one of our most proficient o ra tors and d ram a tis ts and is am ong the foremost in his scholastic s ta n d ­ings.

Joe is a gentleman and a student. T h e teachers, un d e r w hom he has studied, will testify to the support of his qualit ies as scholar, while all know Joe fo r a gentleman.As such, he may well take Lincoln’s w ords : “W ith malice to w a rd none, with charity to all .”

CLASS HISTORY-4A

rH E early spring sun w as spreading its m orning cheer over the w orld , throw ing its colorful rays through the stained glass w indow s o f the debating hall, as I sat there one day trying to concentrate. B ut in a short w hile, the warm th of spring affected me as it is known to have affected, m any others. M y pencil autom atically dropped; I rested my chin upon my

hands, and sat there thinking or rather dream ing of the four glorious years that had just elapsed. M y thoughts passed over the vivid recollections of my early days as a prepster and recalled the happy days of my career, w hen, suddenly, in the m idst of my ecstasy I w as roused from my dreams by the muffled sound of voices m ingled w ith frequent bursts of laughter from outside the hall. M y curiosity demanded satisfaction, and I rose doggedly from m y chair and passed outside.

T h ere I saw a group of my classm ates engaged in happy conversation. T ru e to my conjecture, they w ere talking of the joyfu l experiences of their high schoolyears. A n d w hat experiences! D are I m ention “ M y dear boys,” “W h o w as T a n g le ­foot?” “D o you recall Petey or M arcella and the m an w ho laughs?” “D o you remem­ber N eed le-N ose, Barney, Jake, or our good friends, Charlie Gumbash and^M ike H effancy ?”

W e were then but a group of grammar school boys, w ho had journeyed to St. P eter’s in our quest for learning. Indeed w e had all our desires w e ll fulfilled when w e w ere subjected to an avalanche of Latin , A lgebra and H istory that nearly knocked us cold. I can still hear the w ords “ C onjugate A m o,” “W h at is the1 square of X ? ” ringing from the m outh of M r. W allace, w ho, as a stern but w ell-schooled skipper, guided us over the seas of learning in our first year. H o w the w ords “Four conjuga­tions, w ritten ou t,” “ju g for a w eek ,” still resound in m y ears, as I picture the smile of our seem ingly heartless professor as he pronounced the w ords of sentence. H is w avy locks, straying slightly down over his forehead, caused us to see him as quite the village cut-up in his high school days. A nd w hat a relief it w as to see our sm iling English teacher, M r. M cN a lly , exercising his pedal extrem ities in the direction of our classroom. H e w as by far the best liked of our freshman teachers even thoughhe threatened to relieve some of us of our le ft low er molars or paint our nasal pro­tuberances w ith a crimson hue.

W h a t a short w hile ago it w as when B ill Roehrenbeck and G eorge Sullivan leaped to the head of the class, and John Smith distinguished him self as a man among men. It seems only yesterday that W ojtycha w as marked absent only to be discov­ered ten m inutes later under his desk, looking for his books. W h a t happy days they w ere w hen w e had our freshmen basketball and baseball teams. W h at a memory are those days w hen w e looked up to athletic stars as demigods and were proud to say that one of our classmates played on a prep team. HoW w e shook at the thought of a province exam. A nd all the time the joyfu l hours of our freshmen year were flitting by, never to return. B ut w e were being moulded into Catholic gentlem en under the hands of the capable and experienced Jesuits. Spring, the period of our freshness and greenness, passed, as in us the seeds of know ing began to develop under the careful cultivation of our learned professors.

Page 86: 1930 Petrean

Came summer, but not too soon for the freshies. In June, a happy crowd of freshmen le ft St. P eter’s, after attaining success in their first year.

W e gathered together in second year w ith a number from the other classes w ho were fortunate or unfortunate enough to take Greek. W e had lost a few- through the exams, but the m ajority of the missing had selected Science. T h en we w ere in our glory; how w e rose above the low ly freshm en; how proudly w e sat in the senior building th en ; w e owned the w orld . But, lo, it was all short lived. T h e G reek rose before us like a tow ering colossus, ready to crush us at any moment. Some weakened under the pressure, and left to seek shelter in science hall. But most of us remained in our misery. W h at a life when w e were trying to master the Greek alphabet. H o w common was the saying “W h y did I ever take G reek.” M r. O ’Sullivan, fresh from H oly Cross, tried, w ith his elongated words and flowery phrases, to persuade us that w e made no mistake in choosing the ancient language. B ut his words were as chaff scattered before the w ind. So he decided not to waste his precious words any more, but to go ahead and teach. A nd how he taught! It w as not long before w e discovered that the beloved Bayonnite could hold his own when it came to expounding the intricacies o f H om er’s favorite language. T ru ly w e had found a teacher w orthy of taking M r. W allace’s place.

Strange as it seems, he had the very same weakness that our former teacher had. “Luo twice, Luo three times, vocabulary once” echoed and reechoed throughout the room. W e w rote until w e had w ell developed muscles in our fingers. W earied w ith Greek, w e approached Caesar. H e held not the terrors for us that he held for the ancient nations, but w e soon learned w hy they feared him so greatly. Right and left, w e fell under his first assault, and the utterance was heard on all sides “O death, where is thy stin g!” But M r. O ’Sullivan was not the kind of a teacher to abandon his fallen troops. Instead, under his capable guidance, w e rose again. Inspired anew, w e attacked once more, and it was not long before w e were translating Caesar like veterans and reciting the Greek declensions w ith ease (as you see, we were taught to use our imaginations a lso ).

O ur acquaintance w ith our new friends was indeed a pleasure. M arty Sherry s w it came to the fore and his w ise sayings brightened many an hour. George Sullivan showed us w hy he won the freshman medal by passing everything in sight, and he went so far into the lead that it was impossible for anyone to catch him for the remainder of the year. Am idst our pleasure and hard work, w e did not notice the passing of time. Indeed this year was more difficult than the former but we lost very few through the exams.

T h at was the year when w e moulded the friendships that were to remain, our real friendships. H ow vivid are the memories of the far corner of the lunchroom, w hat w ith the odor of hot dogs and hamburger one w ould think that food was sold there. H ow unforgettable are the pleasures and joys of that sophomore year. But, quicker than speech, the year had traveled and was now drawing to a close. W e Rad budded and blossomed, w e had been fortified and strengthened and upon us was the flush and glow of learning.

O f the many men w ho entered third year w ith us, doubtless there are few w ho w ill ever forget it. W e entered bravely into the realms of the upper classmen and took up the higher classics of the L atin and the G reek. T h ey say that fools rush m adly in w here angels fear to tread. W e w ere not by any means angels, but, despite our rush, tim e proved that w e were not of the other class either. Resum ing effort w e entered upon a sea of mystery— Junior. W e w ere then men or supposedly m en. I t w as understood that w e then took a m ore serious v iew of life, but to one in the third year classroom it did not appear so. It seemed instead that it w as a tim e w hen youthfu l minds' invented stronger means by which they could enjoy them selves. D o you recall the five inch ruler or the refuse barrel on the teacher’s desk or the lunchroom signs hung around the classroom or the day w hen Father R ector w alked into the teacher-less class w here pandem onium had broken loose?

But it w as not during the periods of M r . H iggins, S .J., or M r. Porter, S .J., that hilarity ensued. For in all our schooling, w e m et in these tw o men tw o of the finest teachers w e ever had. It is only w ith a smile that w e recall the remarks of M r. H iggins “ N o levity, gentlem en,” or “I t ’s all in the book,” or the fam ous saying of M r. Porter “H an g on, boys, hang on .” B ut m idst the dry hours of modern languages, w e had the hum orous n itw its o f the class to pep things up, m ixed often­times w ith the jokes of our professors.

I t w as in this year that Joe Faulkner w as art editor for the “ P e t r e a n ” and John Smith first distinguished him self as a debater by m aking a place on the Senior team. T h is w as the year w hen w e first broke into real sports by having B ill C onnolly and Charlie D oy le on the football team and Lou M ooney holding down the regular first baseman’s job on the baseball team. T h en there is the m emory of our great class basketball team, finely coached by M r. H u ll, that ran rampant over all outside teams and that made a rep by beating Freshies, Sophs and Juniors only to be beaten by— w ell, I “kind of forget” that, anyway.

But third year could not last forever, and indeed w e received enough pleasure from it for tw o years. A nd as I ponder, I see the period draw ing to a close amidst the final p low ing and gathering and other tests that usually accompany the busy season of the harvest. T h e seed had fallen upon good ground and as the fruit matured, this season, as the rest, passed into eternity.

A nd now, w e came to the w inter,— to the tim e when the harvest must bear the frosts and colds of the biting air and show itself w orthy of the name it bore,— Senior, the year of years. T h a t year that had seemed so far away as w e started school as Freshm en had come at last. Y es, w e had now attained the coveted title and could strut about the corridors looking up to no one except of course, the faculty. But, “A ll that glitters is not gold .” I t w as not long before w e realized this and, w ith a determined w ill, w e buckled down to our task, for now the great goal, the aim of everyone was staring us in the face.

H o w pleasant it seems to be again seated w ithin the portals of the prep, with the noble insignia, “Senior” attached to our door. Father Schmitt, S.J., so w ell known to us in previous years, assumed his duty as professor of Latin and Greek, and as he sits there, explaining the exploits of Achilles and Aeneas, there returned the vivid recollections of our struggle for learning, of our exploits, of our successes; happy deeds, but lo, only memories.

W e were seniors, and as seniors, we became leaders of the school. W ith pride w e watched Charlie D oyle, B ill C onnolly and M arty Sherry on the gridiron and the fine work of M atty Rooney and Charlie D oyle on the basketball court. But our activities w ere not confined to sports, however, for alas, the art o f Dem osthenes and Cicero found many follow ers in the fourth year classroom. A ll due credit must be given to John Smith, whose marvelous oratory won him the distinction of being chosen at St. P eter’s representative in the “D iocesan” and the “T im es” oratorical contests. U nfortunately, he placed only th ird 'in the Diocesan finals, but w ith our wholehearted support, w e expect better from him in the “T im es” eliminations. John was not only an orator but proved himself a first class actor in the annual presenta­tion, “K ing H enry IV ,” by playing the part of Jack Falstaff and playing it to perfection. A gain w e proved our superiority in speaking by placing John Smith, Joe Faulkner, Ed Larkin, Jack Arm strong and Joe Fitzpatrick on the debating teams. W e did not shirk our literary duties for w e had, as our representatives on the Petrean staff, B ill Roehrenbeck, Editor in C hief; B ill Connolly, Joe D oyle, and Joe Fitzpatrick. Indeed, w hat more could be asked of any class?

O ur duties as seniors, however, are not our only recollections. H ow w e laughed to see the “Paterson H icks” steaming along to the Prep in Bill M ee’s “ancient boiler.” W h at a joke it was when the old “stove” w asn’t stewing right and the poor boys were stranded in the w ilds of Jersey City. D o you recall when fleet-footed A chilles (alias H en L yons) became all hot and bothered when called down by our librarian. W h at laughs w e enjoyed when M r. M cN ally , trying to keep us awake in English class, related his m eeting w ith the “Princess of Bourbon” or his travels in Europe. I could go into endless relations, but time and space are limited, and these few examples must suffi'ce.

T h e sw iftness of time brought us to the goal. Senior retreat, exams, the outing and then commencement, the biggest day of all, when w e stood on the brink, at the end of our journey, a garden of cultured young men, the product of our untiring and faultless cultivator, St. Peter’s, directed by our worthy workmen, the faculty.

N o w w e stand here, as the closing minutes of our career are quickly passing by. T h e setting sun is casting its flaming rays across the horizon, dimly outlining before us the road of life that w e must traverse. T hen, silhouetted against the dull evening clouds, there pass in review our lost friends, our teachers, our classes, all gone forever. T h en w ith heavy hearts and w ith a lump in our throats, w e begin to pass away. A s w e cast one final glance behind, the last dying ray of the blazing sun reflects itself upon the buildings of the prep and leaves in our hearts, memories, unforgettable, consoling.

T is w ith a sense of pride and yet a touch o f sorrow that w e recall those pleasant memories of our happy career at the Prep.

H ere w e first became acquainted w ith A1 H ahn, w ith his flashing blondehair; D in n y Buttim ore, w ith his sm iling countenance, and Jim Clancy, w ith

his m agnetic personality. B etw een classes w e w ere entertained by the soft croonings of our soloist, Frank Z eleznick .

T h e first few w eeks w ere spent in becom ing accustomed to our surroundings. T h en the drudgery of L atin com m enced. G loom settled over us poor freshmen as the w ork increased and only the clever w itticism s of Scrivani saved us from total agony.

A s the football season opened our interest increased, and m any were the sore throats w e received in cheering our team to victory.

B ut tim e flies and the football season became a thing of the past. W e w ere now forced to devote more tim e to our studies and w ith the aid of our professors w e unravelled the mysteries of Latin and A lgebra. D ieckm ann could not understand w hy w e had a dative case and Brennan w anted to abolish the third declension. H owever, w e all accomplished our w ork splendidly. T h e Christm as holidays were a much needed rest, but these passed as quickly as they came and w e were startled by~the proxim ity of our m id-year exams. Even “R ed” M ahon and Fred Rolzhausen received a few gray hairs. B ut Lady Luck smiled upon us and w e started down the home stretch w ith flying colors.

Spring arrived, bringing w ith it the usual fever w hich fortunately affects teachers as w ell as pupils. B ut a nightm are, in the form of our final exams, summoned us from our pleasant dreams. In the m idst of all this intellectual misery, a ray of happiness shone through— the Prep outing. Lennon and C onw ay could be seen in the prow of the boat gazing upon the scenery as w e steamed up the river. O ur joy however, w as short lived, and w e strove valiantly to clear the final hurdles. T h en , w ith the scalps of our exams under our belts, w e disbanded to enjoy our vacation.

In September, w e again assembled to assume our roles as sophomores and w ith a sad heart, w e realized that several of our friends had departed from our midst. H ere also was the parting of the w ays, many of our rash friends having decided to pursue the study of Greek. A t this time w e were all startled by the appearance of Brandenburg w earing his first long trousers. W e scientists can remember w ith pride the foundation of our scientific knowledge. U nd er the expert tutelage of the Jesuit Fathers, the mid-year exams held no fear for us and all too soon the provin­cial exams arrived. B ut again w e emerged victorious.

T h ird year found us absorbed in the difficulties of Cicero and Geometry. Here C ole distinguished himself by his exceptional knowledge of Physics, taught under the kindly but systematic supervision of Father Smith. Again our happy days fled, and the exams marked the close of our Junior year.

In September, w e entered upon our final year at the Prep. O ur air of superiority quickly disappeared under the benevolent but firm hand of Father Q uilty, S.J., who took us through the wanderings of Aeneas and the tragic death of Julius Caesar. M urphy ^nd Rolzhausen often came to our assistance and solved many of the com­plications of Latin. T h en again, H erm es w ould lighten the dark moments of the Latin period w ith his happy laughter.

Trigonom etry as explained by M r. M u llins was just another conquest for us and, under the paternal tutorship of Father Collins, w e delved into the mysteries of Chemistry. W h en Coach M eyers issued his call for basketball candidates we found our class represented by T om M cFeely, w ho was overtaken w ith sickness before the season had progressed far and was forced to abandon the team. There is little doubt that if T o m had remained on the team, our final percentage would be much different.

In February, w e were grieved when w e discovered the loss of our esteemed friend and classmate, “E d ” K elly. D uring the year M cG uirk distinguished himself by the competent manner in which he disposed of the absentee slips.

D uring the course of the Spanish class, ably conducted by M r. H iggins, S.J., M iller and A zzarello gained fame from their great impersonations of Spanish characters.

A nd so, as our stay at St. P eter’s draws to a close, it is; w ith a note of regret but also w ith the brightest of hopes for our future that w e bid farewell to the Prep and all our friends.

4C~W~ y A P P Y days are here again.” T h u s runs a popular tune but it w ouldn’t t W be our theme song because our happy days are about to be a thing

§ M of the past. It was indeed four years of fun-filled days for all of us, w ho succeeded in proving untrue, that old adage “T hey shall net

pass!” As w e look back to the time when we first entered the corridors of the Prep w e must pause in retrospection over the copious acquisition of “savoir faire (n.b. our education has not been for naught). T h e silence which w e maintained as freshmen appears ridiculous to us now, but, at that time, nothing was so very funny because everything was new and strange to us.

H ow ever, toward the end of that first semester w e became accustomed to the environment and became more intimate w ith our classmates. In the second half everyone made resolutions about applying himself more vigorously to our studies (an old Spanish custom ), and w e succeeded in m ingling play with work, very pleas-

Page 91: 1930 Petrean

antly. It is w ell-know n that anything a freshm an does is not given much notice (he seldom does m uch) and our case w as in the same category, so that the school year passed quietly by, to give w ay to vacation time, longed for, but not in the sameexuberance of G ram m ar School days.

Second year is said to be the hardest year of all, and w e looked forward to it w ith unpleasant sensations. W e w ere less in num ber upon becom ing sophomores, for a few of our form er classm ates either gave it up as a bad job or w ere com pelled to do so. B ut there w ere others to take their place, m ost notable of w hom was H a l Rouse w ho soon proved his ability as a track man, for he is som ew hat like “Spondee” M cC utcheon . O u r division had the honor of having tw o varsity letter m en in H a l Rouse and G eorge W e n z (pretty good for mere sophom ores). It w as in this year that N ick N ovak received the dreaded name of “ Sadie” because of his participation in the school play, as a leading lady. I t behooved us to learn some of the intricacies o f algebra during this year but it seems that A rtie Brom erski w as the only one to succeed ( if you know w h at I m ean ). Joe Kleim ac also proved him self adept at the gentle art of learning.

U pon looking back w e can find noth ing so particularly difficult in that so-called difficult year but it m ust be so because, on entrance into third year our five divisions w ere reduced to four. A m on g those to leave us w ere “V in ” Strebe, and “L uke”M eehan w ith his hum orous cartoons. W e now w ere a much larger class and veryrepresentative, for did w e not have John R oth, “C ueball” E llis and “A n d y” Andrus, late of D on Bosco Prep., not to m ention H arry M c N a lly , the fattest man in four divisions? T ru ly , w e had a m ost enjoyable tim e trying to stump M r. G u terl w ith geom etric difficulties, and listening to Father Smith expound the w hys and wherefores of physics. A nd then—

Seniors! A t last, the realization of our m ost cherished thoughts, the attainm ent of an ambition has come and now, as the envy of the low er classes w e look down upon the “ H o i,” and then “Joke” as com ing from P ete Brock, in a burst of w itty repartee. O f course, sad to say w e lost some of our happy fam ily, yet there were also others to take their place, especially “ M o e” M orris (nu ff sed) w ho m ust have w anted a better appreciation of V irgil. W e started action by electing class officers and Johnnie Boylan was made the class president for the fourth straight time. Later in the year Joe Lam bert became official scorekeeper at the Prep basketball games and A ndy A ndrus w ith Bob H anlon w en t out to make the Prep team the county champions. I t certainly is a good thing that the basketball season was over before Spring set in, for the fever hit Bob hard. T h en —

It w as a bright, sunshiny Spring day w hen F ritz W ildem ann strode into class W E A R I N G L O N G T R O U S E R S . Im m ediately a w ild cheer w ent up and F ritz w as placed on a desk in order that everyone m ight get a good look. B ut the aftermath of this w as the realization that w e w ere all grow ing up and the joyfu lly sad time of graduation w as approaching a day nearer every tw enty-four hours.

T h ose four years w ere w onderfu l and no fe llow w ill say they are over w ithout a. trace of a doleful look. Y es, they are over, and w e must part to m ove along on divergent routes, but w e w ill remember, for time cannot wash this memory away.

O ur knowledge appears meager in­deed when we consider the broad lanes of learning, lying in wait for us in the College. Confined merely to grammati­cal instruction and translation of Latin and Greek, we await with eagerness the beauties of the classical languages into which we shall wend our way in St. Peter s College course. JVe shall pass from simple mathematics deep into the puzzling intricacies x of calculus. And, above all, as they tell us, we shall surely enjoy our acquaintance with Ethics and Natural Theology, which will train us to have the proper prospective of God and man and, finally, direct us to our final end,— an eternal union with God.

/A N U A R Y came and w ent, and w ith it, w en t the February G raduates

of St. P eter’s. For us, dear old Science' H a ll has passed away, leaving only a treasury of memories of our pleasant years as Students. B ut our going is not unhonored or unsung. W e have le ft a distinct record as the m ost calm m id-term class to bid our A lm a M ater fare­

w ell. O u r professors often reminded us of this fact. A nd they spoke the truth. Y et our philosophic attitude toward studies w as always kept w ithin the bounds of discretion, even though it w as tinged w ith the idea that feverish devotion to books was not to be desired. A t least, that is our opinion. W e like to think that St. P eter’s, lavish in her g ifts of know ledge to us, has never found us remiss in our duties and obligations.

In addition to our habitual attitude of calmness, all w ill agree that w e were bound together by the m ost intimate ties of friendship. W hence came this union? O thers may claim that our class unity was the outcome of the unfailing array of our athletic accomplishments, in conjunction w ith the spirit of fellowship. B ut the February Class of ’30 insists that it w as loyalty to our Prep w hich animated and inspired us in all our undertakings. Supported by this m otive, our spirit never failed us. I t w as constantly driving us forward, both in the dull moments of failure, and in the blissful hours of sm iling content. It gave us an incentive for greater things, for all that brings renown to St. P eter’s.

are seniors at last. T h u s did w e greet each other at the opening t JK f ^ ro f the school year last September. B ut, as tim e flew on, a certain

sadness at parting arose and as the fatal day draws on, this sadness is resolving itself into sorrow.

But, m ingled w ith this feeling, is that keen sense of satisfaction for our achieve­m ent. T h e class of 4 A fairly abounds w ith talent.

A s our Thespians w ho did so nobly in “K in g H enry IV ,” w e may m ention John Smith, Joe F itzpatrick, Joe Faulkner, Bob M cM ah on and Joe D oyle. Engaged in the pursuit o f oratory w e cannot forget Joe F itzpatrick, John Smith, Joe Faulkner and Ed Larkin.

F aithfu lly doing their bit in the journalistic line were B ill Roehrenbeck, the editor-in-chief, w ith Joe F itzpatrick, Joe D oyle and B ill C onnolly as his assistants.

John Smith deserves particular m ention as a finalist in the M issions O ratorical Contest and as the School’s Representative in the T im es O ratorical Contest.

But, w e cannot afford to overlook athletics, where w e had L ou M ooney, Bill C onnolly and Charlie D oyle in Prep football, and M atty Rooney and Charlie D oyle in basketball. Frank Cam pbell led the class basketball team through a m ost successful season.

O ! W e behold K now ledge, radiant and attractive in the w ings, ready M to ring down the curtain upon our Prep school career. Sadly, yet

proudly, w e see that curtain descend for the fin a le; sadly, since w e y J depart from our beloved A lm a M ater and the pleasant associations

of happy school days; proudly, because w e possess the solid foundation of a Jesuit education and the cherished name of Petreans.

D urin g the past year, w e have sailed the seas w ith Aeneas, under the leadership of Father Q u ilty ; w e have delved into the mysteries of the elem ents under the guid­ance of Father C ollin s; w ith M r . M u llen as instructor w e have; mastered the form ulas of the awe-inspiring triangle, w e are w e ll versed in the language of far-off Spain, due to the efforts o f M r. H iggins, S .J., and M r. C ullen . Labor conquers all things, and now w e pass into the maroon-clad ranks of the A lum ni.

Representing the class on the basketball team, w e have “T o m ” M cF ee ly ; B u tti­more and M urphy were members of the last baseball squad that represented the Prep. O n the Petrean staff, G eorge H erm es and “E d ” C ole worked d iligently for the success of the book. M u sica lly inclined “E d ” D eickm ann could be found making the drum talk on the school orchestra. M ahon and R olzhausen endeavored to uphold the scholastic traditions o f 4B .

So now, w ith fond memories of the Prep, w ith heartfelt thanks and deep appre­ciation of the earnest efforts of our professors, w e depart, and

“T h ough years may lead our steps afar,A far our steps may stray,W ith you, M aroon, our guiding star,O u r hearts fore’er w ill stay.”

^ ^ " \ E recollect w ith joy our four years at the Prep and regret that w e cannot t spend more hours amidst these m ajestic w alls. H appy have been our

\ days w ith the Jesuit Fathers w ho carried us through our scholastictroubles.

In September, o f 1929, w e entered our final year at St. P eter’s. A new subject w as placed before us— “T rigonom etry. M r . M u llen , a form er Prepster taught us the intricacies of “T r ig .” F or chem istry w e w ere placed under the tutelage of Father C ollins from w hom w e readily learned how to w rite and balance equations.

W ith the beginning of the term a call for candidates w as made. T w o of our classmates represented us on the gridiron; Johnny Boylan and Jim M orris.

F ritz W ilderm ann became the star “scanner” of V irg il, w hile H arold Rouse couldn’t sing so w ell. A ndrus w as appointed the censor of jokes by M r. H iggins. A rty Bromirski became our class w it.

Bob H anlon and A ndy Andrus, both all county m en, played regularly on the basketball team and helped the team to a county championship.

Before w e realized it the Christmas holidays w ere upon us and w e separated w ith glad tidings to our fellow classmates. U pon returning w e determined to work Hard and pass our exams. W e took them as they came and passed them one and all.

W ith the Spring w e looked forward w ith joy to having a great baseball team, but orders came around that there w ould be no team and our joy turned to regret.

T h u s in a few paragraphs w e can review our year at the Prep. W e w ill always look upon our days at St. P eter’s w ith glad tidings in our hearts and hope that those w ho fo llow us w ill take up the torch which w e pass on to them.

rH E original 3 M class started the year off u neven tfu lly but it w as only

the calm before the storm. A fte r the storm , the class w as so crowded, w ith additions from fourth year, that it was decided to split the class. T h u s 3 M 2 came into existence. W e w ere fortunate indeed

in having teachers of the high calibre of F ather Smith, M r. M cln ern ey , M r. G uterl, M r. M u llen and M r. Briody. W e progressed rapidly under their excellent

tutelage, and the class as a w hole w as very successful in the mid-year exam s. February found us entering our final year at St. P eter’s. Father C ollins, S .J., M r. Briody and M r. C ullen are the professors w ho are guiding us through the “bloody entrance” to know ledge this year. U nd er their capable direction w e feel confident w e shall attain a m ost satisfactory degree of success in this, our senior year.

T h e class has a creditable representation in the K nights of the Blessed Sacrament Society.

4 M 2 is justly proud of its distinguished members. W e have am ong us, Johnny Roth, the fighting captain of the 1929 football team. A lso am ong us, is “Speedy” D ow d , the stellar guard of last year’s team , w ho has been chosen to lead the prep aggregation this fa ll. T h en there is W a lter Curtis, our honor m an. A side from capturing testim onials every m onth, W a lt plays on the class basketball team. Eddie In g lis held the m anagerial o f the prep basketball team this year, w ith “ R ed” Casey as his assistant. Both are claimed by 4 M 2 . T h e only other notable is Jim Barry, the Baron of the Horseshoe.

W e used to w onder at “Scotty” M cG regor buying the “N e w s” everyday. W e found out, however, that he always gets off the bus last.

I t certainly w ould be an unusual day in 4 M 2 if—Everybody came prepared in Latin.Everybody kept quiet all day.N obody hummed the “Stein Song.”“B um ” Byrne did not jump up to look at the funerals across the street.Everybody knew w hat subject w e had next period.Price did not sneeze.A nybody knew any T r ig .C osta sat still.Smith made any noise.Sinnott didn’t ask questions.I f everybody caught on to the joke at the same time.

place to which w e have looked forward since our first days at St. P eter’s. B ut w hy look into the future w hen w e have so many really glad things w ith us at present? W e have a class that is capable of

doing justice to anything it undertakes. O ur basketball team proved this although it lacked the support of “L efty” D onn elly , yet bore evidence of w hat organization and perseverance can do. W e have succeeded thus far in w inning all the games in our division, and even in the Senior D ivision. W h a t could give us more happiness than to be able to conquer the lo fty Sen iors!'

Passing over the fact that w e w ere represented on the basketball court by “L efty ” D onn elly , “Frank” Cronan, and “ M a c” M cG ann, w e come to those w ho represented the class from a scholastic standpoint. Chiefly am ong these are “B ill” D onovan, “Jack” D eck, “T o m ” H ayes, and “P et” Petroncione.

T h e class offers sincere thanks to M agister D uffy , Father Smith, S .J., M onsieur O ’Sullivan, and Senor C ollins, w ho by their untiring efforts have thus far succeeded in guiding us safely through the portals of Junior Year.

W e are also indebted to “H enry Burbig” w ho is none other than M yles Lyons, for many hearty laughs.

In parting, w e offer congratulations to the graduating class of 1930 which has maintained a name at St. P eter’s, which w e, the successors, w ill try to uphold.

rH E class of 2 M came back after a lon g vacation and learned that they

were to continue their course in Science B u ild ing under the able tutoring of M essrs. K elty , G . M cInerney, Briody, O ’Sullivan, D uffy and M c N a lly . T h e class w as exceptionally large and due to this

that there w ere always a com m otion in the class, led by the band of Ricciardelli, Barbera and T afero . A fter the second m onth, the P refect divided it into tw o sec­tions, 2 M 1 and 2 M 2 . T h e class o f 2 M 2 changed to the Junior B uild ing and continued their studies under M essrs. Comyns, C ullen , D uffy , and M c N a lly . H ere the ready w it o f Joe M cG eady, A1 Barbera and Jim D ev lin never failed to bring a laugh. A ll the w hile, due to the sm all num ber in class, w e progressed rapidly in our studies. H ow ever, in January, the grim reaper hit the class in the form of m id­term exam inations. W h en marks w ere announced, w e found that only seven had survived the class o f twenty-one. A s a result, w e w ere again combined w ith 2 M 1 and changed our name to 3 M , having now advanced to our Junior Y ear, one year nearer our exit from St. P eter’s. N o w w e are settled down in our class in Science H all, fo llow in g Cadm us in his search for his sister; listening attentively to w hat Cicero had to say about C atiline; discovering through geom etry that all the crazy people aren’t in the asylums, and learning the idioms of French. O u r generals in this subjects are M essrs. C ullen , Briody, G uterl, and R ev. J . P . Smith, S.J.

T h e class was w ell represented in sports by John “F at” Conroy, regular center on the football team ; by “B en” G eraghty, captain of St. P eter’s championship team, and all-county forw ard; by Charles D olan , James Fanning, and Jam es Ormsby, in debating, and by Charles D olan , “J im ” Conroy, “Joe” T oom ey, “J im ” T u m ulty , “Frank” C oughlin, and John H ill in scholarship. W e also contributed generously to the missions under the constant com pulsion of “Frank” Coughlin. T h e class is now settled down for the June exams.

H E N , after tw o torrid m onths, w e returned to St. P eter’s for the continuation of a classical education, it was to renew old friendships and create new ones. W e w ere assigned to class 2A and im m ediately emmeshed ourselves in the mysteries o f Greek, A lgebra and Latin

and improved our know ledge of English and Civics.,T h e class was w ell represented on the basketball team, having “B illy ” Breunig,

fTG en e” Chapontot and “Larry” K ing starring for the seconds. W e w ere also gifted w ith a number of oratorical experts from the M u lry D ebating Society— G eorge M cC arthy, “B illy ” Bauer, “Chubby” G reen and “G eorgie” D undon. T h e boys paid heed to M r. R ooney’s advice concerning the Sodality and w e were w ell repre­sented in that activity.

T h ere are many pinnacles from which w e may view this rocky road to know l­edge. Caesar, w ith his brilliant conquest of G aul, our companion along the path of L atin Syntax, leaves us a bit anxious to resume our Latin journey w ith the Roman orators; D id G reek so inspire? W ell, there are some w ho have not yet lost theircourage. A nd is A lgebra popular w ith us? W e pride ourselves in being good mathe­maticians and w e w ill all prove it by passing the final exam ination.

W e take this opportunity to thank our teachers and to express our happinessbecause of the return of M r. Rooney, S .J., and M r. Lester, after a few weeks of fllness. W e w ish also to extend our sympathy to Peter M cC auley on the death of his mother, and to A nthony Kazim ar on the loss of his father.

W e w ere taken into another room and w ere greeted by M r . C ow an. W e found that M r .

In the class basketball league that year, w e fared poorly, as w e had too short a tim e for preparation.

/"N September w hen school opened, w e entered second year w ith an optim istic

aspect, as w e realized that, first year being le ft behind, w e w ere becoming real veteranistic high school students. W e bore a sw aggering, know ing a tti­tude as w e strutted about before the freshm en, in itiating them into the

school custom s.Several o f the student body of Sophomore ranks w ere a trifle dissatisfied w ith the

new dividing of periods, but as they gradually accustomed them selves to the rules and regulations, everything sm oothed out.

A ll w ere satisfied w ith our teachers to w hom w e take this opportunity of extend­ing our sincere thanks for their help fu l and efficient manner of coaching us in the course of studies. B iology is the chief subject w e studied and proved to be most interesting under the guidance of an expert instructor. A lgebra w as interesting— the w ay M r. Lester taught it to us, and few failed the m id-term exams. T h rou gh the wisdom of M r. O ’Brien and the rem aining second year professors of the classic languages, L atin w as understood very easily.

A lon g cam e the Christmas holidays and w ith them many zealous supporters for more frequent vacations. A fter tw o weeks of pleasure, studies w ere resumed, and reviews for exams w ere begun in earnest. A ll the previous w ork was quickly and thoroughly repeated once again. A fter the exam inations the classes w ere mixed up until from it w e derived 2 M 2 i

T h e teachers were new and w ere received “magna cum gratia.” A ll school activities w ere attended by at least one 2 M 2 representative. W h en the annual basketball tournam ent was announced our class composed a team and managed to- average a fair score.

Soon w e w ill be studying for Province exam inations, and providing w e pass them, w e w ill be back in the fa ll w ith the dignity o f Juniors.

^H E N the scholastic year of 1929 started, IB w as composed of 37 boys. W e admit that w hen w e began our high school course at St. P eter’s, w e were the m ost disassociated crowd that ever started on the first journey of life. B ut do not judge us now as you w ould then, for a

pride of class and school has bonded us together w ith fetters of steel, each link form ing a part of that great chain of “ Brotherhood,” which w ill never break, however great the pressure m ight be.

Soon w e began assim ilating the knowledge imparted by that great body of teachers, the Jesuits, men w ho sacrifice all w orld ly pleasures and w ho stand ready and w illin g to impart w ithout recompense the fundam entals of piety and learning.

O ur class football team w as excellent and w e expect much from our basketball team. W e w ere also represented on the V arsity football squad.

W e are proficient in learning, due to the fact that the M essrs. Shalvoy, S .J., M cI nerney and M cV ann are w orking very hard so that w e may leave first year w ith a sound know ledge of studies.

N the fine autumn m orning of September 9, 1929, w e, the boys w ho a M were to represent the class of ID , w ere introduced to St. Peter’s

and consequently to one another. From the opening day of school to the closing day w e have labored to the best of our ability, to obtain,

w ith the aid of our able teachers, M r. Shalvoy, S .J., and M r. W allace, that sound foundation of learning upon which w e w ill have to depend in later life to make a success of ourselves in w hatever branch of lifew ork w e undertake.

D u rin g this opening year of high school w e have been under the com petent leadership of the officers m entioned above.

In basketball, although w e did not finish am ong the leaders, w e had a hard fighting team led by Captain “B illy” O ’N eil, a m arvelous basketball player and a regular fellow .

In studies, as a class, w e w ere equal to any first year class.A lthough the past year has not been w ithout its setbacks, it has been a happy

year. W ith vacation com ing nearer and nearer, a feeling of regret prevails. W e realize how much w e are going to miss the sm iling “hello” of our chums and the paper balls in the schoolyard.

N a m orning in September, thirty-four boys assembled for the first tim e as a class in the IE classroom. M r. S innott was assigned tolead us through the mysteries of Latin, and w hile doing this he alsotaught us English and Catechism . M r. M cV ann w as chosen to teach

us A lgebra, w hile M r. D risco ll gave us the doings of the G reek w orld . U n fo r­tunately, however, he le ft at the beginning of the second term and his duties w ereturned over to M r. G eorge M cInerney, a very able teacher. B ut he in turn leftus at the end of the first m onth of teaching. H is successor, M r. Comyns, guided us through the rest o f the year.

Every m onth there has been an average of at least eight testim onials which shows the results of our teachers’ efforts.

Several o f the class tried to obtain regular berths on last year’s football team but, because of inexperience, they were dropped. But, this year, these boys and several others have again tried for the team, going out for spring practice and w e wish them the best o f luck.

T h e eight members of our class w ho composed the basketball squad in the Inter- Class T ournam ent, fought hard, but were not very successful.

N o w , at the end o f our freshman year, it is only w ith pleasant memories that w e look back over the year, and it w ill be w ith a pang of regret that w e leave those halls and classes where w e spent so many happy hours.

for a voyage across the sea of knowledge. O ur success, however, was due m ainly to the untiring efforts and encouragem ent bestowed

upon us by our. professors, M essrs. Caslin and D riscoll. U nd er the guidance and perseverance of M r. Caslin, w e received a good concept of both Latin and English.

ACTIVITIBClosely allied with the activities of the

H igh School are those of the College. Debating will continue as a main fea­ture, while the plays of our Thespians will still be known throughout the city as drama of the highest type of enter­tainment. W e may expect, however, our debaters to carry on in their work with more logic and precision and with high­er powers of expression. Our dramatists will delve deeper into their art and come forth producing plays, loftier in theme and more intricate inl plot. So in all ac­tivities the men of St. Peter s College will continue, always employing the principles imbued here in the past.

R E P -D A Y S gone! A ll that remains is the pleasant and unforgettable ^ delight of the mem ories o f our four years at the Prep. A s w e step

M forth into the unknown, let us pause to consider how valuablew ere those days— but, a la s! they have passed all too quickly. And

now a novel and entirely foreign path of endeavor is thrust upon us. N o longer shall w e have the paternal guidance of those kindly instructors of pedagogy w ho have devoted their lives to prepare such young men as ourselves for the business of life. O u r equipment is as com plete as any that can be procured in a Prep school, and let us hope that all have taken advantage of it and w ill likew ise u tilize the new C ollege in their pursuit of success.

In bidding thee farew ell, A lm a M ater, mere w ords are of no avail, for w e find none that can express the profound em otion that w e feel. T r u ly it moves us to say— Prep-days— gone forever!

^ ^ * v H E N school reopened last September the members of the Beaudevin M \ i f D ebating Society were ushered into a new chamber dedicated to the

\ developm ent of Prep orators. It was far beyond our expectations.T h is expensive and luxurious debating hall was entrusted to us who

w i 11 be known in future time as the first to display our oratorical ability w ithin its portals.

W e were placed under the very capable guidance of M r. M ark A . Shalvoy, S.J. But, after w e had conducted several fiery debates w e were deprived of the excellent tutelage of our moderator. In his place M r. Edward H ogan, S.J., was appointed to whose conscientious m anagement w e owe a great deal of our success. U nder his careful guidance w e passed many enjoyable afternoons engrossed in- heated discus­sions on such subjects as Prison D iscipline, Chain Stores, Third T erm Election and the like.

In February, w e held our first public debate. O f the question: Resolved that the U nited States Should Enter the W orld Court at once, w e argued on the negative side. Representing us against Loyola H igh School, of Baltimore, were M essrs.

Edw ard J. Larkin, ’30, Joseph C. Faulkner, ’30, and Joseph P . F itzpatrick, ’30, w ith M r. Charles F . X . O ’Brien, ’31, as alternate. I t w as a w e ll contested debate and in our defeat w e had the vote of one judge to som ewhat console us in our defeat.

In passing, let us say just a w ord about our pins representing membership in the society. It is a gold filled m iniature gavel attached to a short chain at the end of which is a G reek B representing “B eaudevin.” I t w as selected as the standard insignia of the society and in w earing it every member prides him self as an orator of St. P eter’s. W e take this opportunity to thank M r. Faulkner and his com m ittee, M r . Joseph D oy le and M r . Carrol, for their efforts in securing an emblem which w ill, w e hope, distinguish our members for many years.

By the kindness of a benefactor, some of us have been privileged in hearing several interesting lectures. W e saw and heard former Secretary K ellog speaking on W orld Peace, representatives of six nationalities on the v iew s of their respective countries on this same topic; W arden Law es, of Sing Sing, on Prison D iscipline.

T h e importance of fluency in speaking cannot be too strongly urged. T im e and again as Am ericans and Catholics w e have realized the extrem e importance of defend­ing our principles against the fanatical and erroneous opinions of others and it has been w ith this in v iew that w e have applied ourselves d iligently to oratorical study. W e also realize that the art o f oral expression is an essential o f personal culture and proficiency in this branch w ill never be regretted. So w e feel amply satisfied w ith our humble efforts and w e cannot find w ords to thank our zealous moderator for his patience and forbearance in our behalf.

ST. P E T E R ’S SCHOOL LIBRART/ ^ 'H I S year has brought many improvements to the students’ library.

# A ll have benefited by the changes that have been made and the littleM building on the east side of the quadrangle has become a favorite

haunt of many during the recreation periods. O ur circulating library has been augmented by the addition of several hundred new volumes of fiction and reference. O ur reference room now contains copies of the best and latest ency­clopedias. Editions of all text books have been acquired and added to our reference library. M oreover, students w orking on book reports may now conveniently find the book assigned to them, since all works recommended in the English syllabus for supplementary reading are now available. T h e library now contains several thousand carefully selected volumes, and it is planned to increase the number each year. T herefore, new book racks have been installed on the third and fourth floors. Let us hope that soon the present accommodations w ill be inadequate to contain our new books— not to mention an increase in the number of readers and borrowers, w ho w ill surely patronize our new library.

T h e m agazine room still seems to be the most popular, especially among the under-classmen. H ow ever, the use of this department must also be encouraged for it is easily possible to gain a liberal education by a diligent use of our periodical room, where there may always be had the latest issues of the most intellectual pub­lications of the day.

A nother advantage enjoyed by the students this year are the lectures given at regular intervals by the librarian, M . B. D on n elly . T h e use of a library, reference works, indices, library systems, etc., are clearly explained and the form ation of literary habits are encouraged. T h ese lectures are given as a supplem ent to the English class and are very helpful.

A debt of gratitude must be paid to the efficient staff w ho assisted in the great ' w ork and w ho generously and consistently devoted their spare tim e to the im prove­m ents which were much needed. D ay after day, they labored untiringly in classify­ing and cataloguing volum e after volum e. So that now w e have an up-to-date library, system atized in the same w ay as our great public libraries of N e w Jersey. T o each of the fo llow in g w e hereby express our appreciation and sincere thanks:

/N the beginning of the scholastic year, there was much discussion as to the

advisability of a Shakespearean production. It reached its climax when one supposedly loyal and intelligent student returned his tickets w ith a letter stating that neither he nor any of his friends cared to w itness “King H enry IV ,”

the play chosen. H e further stated that, until the Stratford Players saw fit to pro­duce “A M odern P lay ,” there was little hope of securing the financial support of the student body. There were several more, equally shallow-minded, who did not express their sentiments in writing. But they, happily, were a minority.

M eanw hile, pleasantly surprising to us on learning of it, there was a discussion going on in the Irish Catholic of D ublin, a paper similiar to our Catholic Standard and T im es, between Father Gaffney, O .P ., and a M r. W ilfred Hum e. Father G aff­ney says:

“T hroughout the w orld there is a movement to re-Christianize the theatre. N o one w ill deny that in such a movement the colleges hold a strong strategical impor­tance., It is hoped that plays w ill be produced which have a literary and dramatic quality of scholastic endorsement.”

L ittle did w e realize, when w e were making many sacrifices in giving ourselves up whole-heartedly to the m emorizing of lines, attending rehearsals day after day, and trudging w earily home at the supper hour, that w e were helping to solve a great problem and that our name was to be heralded across the seas. And, yet, so it was.

Page 149: 1930 Petrean

N Sunday evening, January 5th, the Stratford Players of St. P eter’s m J C ollege H igh School scored w hat w as perhaps their greatest triumph

in recent years w hen they presented Shakespeare’s “ H enry I V ” at the M ajestic T h eatre . It w as the opinion of m any, w ho have witnessed

the enacting o f many Shakespearean productions, that this presentation equalled, if not surpassed, the best efforts o f college men. A nd so, the Stratford P layers of 1930 have upheld the glorious tradition o f St. P eter’s dram atic society, indeed, they have w on added glory and new jew els for her lustrious crown.

M r . John M ilton , as K ing H enry IV , w orried by the internal troubles of his realm, ruled the council in a proud and imperious m anner; his stately grace and authoritative tone of voice w ere w ell befitting his kingly character. Beset by per­sonal and political enemies, his every look and gesture brought out his suspicious nature, his quick discernm ent and dispatch of hostile courtiers. In happy contrast to all this, was his paternal affection for his elder son whose recklessness and indis­cretion he endured w ith kind forbearance.

Y et, this seem ingly scapegrace, H a l, as portrayed by M r . John G regory, w ar­ranted the upbraiding of his father from the outw ard show of things. H e swaggers about unsham efacedly w ith frequenters of tavern houses; associates w ith them in their w ild escapades; perm its him self to be led into the crim e of robbery; but always, he betrays, w ith an artful touch, his true noble character, running on like an under­current of pure, w holesom e w ater beneath a turbid surface. A rtfu lly , too, did this happy-go-lucky, carefree youth portray the sincerely repentent son before the irate father and, w hen put to his m ettle, on the battlefield, the true heroic son w orthy of succession to the sovereignty.

Inferior in character to the noble Prince H a l because of his impetuous, rash nature, though no less ably enacted by M r. H arold R uvoldt, was H arry Percy, the fiery H otspur. H o w eloquently did he plead the cause of M ortim er? Still, the K in g’s implacable w ill was unaffected; M ortim er was not to be released and H o t­spur’s prisoners m ust be delivered up. T h en follow ed a clever and superb rendition of the character o f H otspur, fretting and fum ing, his voice becom ing louder and louder as he w axed hot, urged on by the sullen W orcester played by M r. Jam es Clark. A t the highest pitch of his incensed hatred of the K ing, he bursts into scathing denunciation of him, the vile politician, and starts a rebellion a-foot. In keeping w ith the true human creation of the Poet of N atu re interpreting the various moods of life, w e find him in his domestic affairs w ith his w ife , Lady H otspur, gracefully performed by M r. Raymond M asella , an ardent lover and gentle husband. T h en the battlefield, a scene w e shall never forget where, m ortally w ounded by the sword of H al, he yields up his proud, heroic soul, and consigns his body to dust and food for worms.

And where shall w e find terms of praise befitting the incomparable representa­tion by M r. John Smith of that “roundish rogue and veriest villain beside,” Falstaff. O h ! w hat a “huge mountain of flesh” indeed. Y et, how nimbly he carries his great bulk along, and w hat grimaces! Look at him jab Poins in the ribs and his sly winks! W h y w hat a sagacious look he has now ! N o, he is smitten with remorse. “You lie, you rogue,” he’s off again on another w ild escapade. H e ’s jubilant; no, he’s bordering on despair. W h at ? H e is not, he’s beginning to sm ile; no, to laugh, listen to him roar. A nd so on, each mood, brought out w ith a quick yet smoothed transition worthy of the greatest artist of the age. Ah, “sweet creature of bombast,” father of “ the hugest drolleries,” long shall w e cherish in our hearts your great impersonation that night. H ow John labored for the glory of St. Peter’s' even the uninitiated could discern. Falstaff is the most composite of all the composite natures delineated by the immortal “Bard of A von .” W h o is this great bulky soldier leading an arm} to battle? ’T is Falstaff. N o coward he; he has led his men “where they are pep­pered.” “But the better part of valor, is discretion.” Look, he is dead on the battlefield, killed in the defense of his K ing and Country. “I saw him, dead upon the battlefield.” Ah, the old counterfeit! Look at his big, round, rosy face rise above his inert bulk. Yes, John, never, w e prophesy, shall w e find in the annals of St. Peter’s anyone to surpass you on that historic night.

M r. Charles O ’Brien played the part of the vivacious Poins in a masterly way. T h e keen delight he evinced in teasing Falstaff and his honied words in inducing Prince H al to take part in the robbery were w ell done.

E specially w orthy of m ention w ere the tw o fem ale characters, Lady Percy and D am e Q uickly as enacted by M r . Raym ond M asella and M r . Robert M cM ah on , respectively. L ady Percy as the loving and tenderly solicitous w ife of H otspur w as a figure of grace and beauty and never more so than in her petulant mood provoked by the bantering of her better-half. W h ile D am e Q uickly, as the mistress of the B oar’s H ead T avern , w on favor w ith the audience as she bustled about in her business-like w ay and engaged in lively repartee w ith the indignant Falstaff w ho had been robbed in her house.

T h e travelers, the courtiers, the herald, the pages, and the soldiers, all gave a m ute tribute to the detailed w ork of this splendid production.

Such w as the production of H enry IV , not only on the evening of January 5th, but also on the afternoon of January 4th. M an y of the Sisters of the N ew ark D iocese w ere present at this afternoon performance, and their w rapt attention, hearty applause, laughter, and tense silence proved that they w ere w itnessing an unusually brilliant performance.

/T has been the good pleasure of m any readers, no doubt, to see in “T h e C om ­

m onw eal,” a com m unication from Father Joseph E . Shovlin, of A ll Saints’ Church, Jersey C ity, regarding the production of H enry IV by the Stratford Players of St. P eter’s C ollege H igh School. B ut very few , w e dare say,

have read the article in the Irish Catholic. I t appears as fo llo w s:

D R A M A I N C A T H O L I C C O L L E G E S

Father Joseph E . Shovlin, A ll Saints’ Rectory, Jersey C ity, N ew Jer­sey, w rites to tell us that he has follow ed w ith interest the correspondence between Father G affney, O .P ., and M r. W ilfred H um e in our colum ns on the subject of “D ram a in C olleges.” H e sends us a copy of a letter which he addressed to that able Catholic W eekly , “T h e C om m onw eal,” apropos of the production of Shakespeare’s “H enry I V ” by the Stratford Players of St. P eter’s Preparatory C ollege, Jersey C ity, in a local theatre. T h e play w as very effectively presented, he w rites, as regards scenery and acting, and the w ay it w as received proved that audiences which cannot be de­scribed as “highbrow ” cam e to see and to admire w hat w as “high in mind and pure in heart.” Father Shovlin goes on to point the m oral. H e w rites:

“A fter m any years as a director of parish dramatics in w hich I have seen the value of the taste for genuine plays decreasing slow ly but surely,Saint P eter’s P layers seem to offer a good solution to the problem .”

“ C olleges make it their duty to study dramatic classics. T h eir pro­fessors are masters in their work. T o them, at least, the theatre-goer looks for an ideal. A nd if colleges present Shakespeare as cleverly as these young Thespians, enthusiasm and encouragem ent w ill be aroused.”W e have no doubt that performances such as those about which Father Shovlin

w rites w ould be as thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed in Ireland as in Am erica.

ORCHESTRA/ y *\ M r. Shal voy, S.J., visited the classrooms last October and .in-

t f ^ fo r m e d us that he wished to resurrect the orchestra which seemed to J / \ have passed beyond the portals of this discordant world to the music

heaven of the spheres, he found it, in reality, merely sleeping, w aiting for the call of waking. A nd many were the generous hearts that responded to the call and gathered in the new D ebating H all for the organization of our 1929-1930 Orchestra.

A fter several weeks of practise, w e were judged to be presentable to the public gaze and hearing. A nd so, on Saturday afternoon, January 4th, w e made our debut at the M ajestic T heatre at the presentation of K ing H enry IV . In due honesty, however, w e must confess that, though our youthful minds and fingers are susceptible to great musical powers under proper training, there was some dissonance and occa­sional discord at our First Public Appearance. But w e stoutly played through a long and trying afternoon.

A fter two months spent in w inter quarters, and when the fickle gods and goddesses of the seasons were deceitfully enveloping the Garden State in a new warm th, w e blossomed forth at the Loyola-St. Peter’s Debate only to be nipped in the bud.

But now w ith the true season of spring under way, M iracle of M iracles! the sered plant is w axing strong and beautiful under the sk illfu l nurturing of Professor J . F . Parm a. A n entire reorganization of the orchestra was made on Thursday, A pril 17th, and it w as truly gratifying to our Professor J. F . P a rm a . and the Reverend M oderator to see the great number of youthful musicians turn out for this w orthy school activity. W ith such an impetus, w e hope to make a glorious showing on the nights when the Prize D ebate and Prize Elocution Contests w ill be held.

D IO C E S A N O R A T O R IC A L C O N T E S T

rH E S T U D E N T S ’ M IS S IO N C R U S A D E , a subsidiary organization

of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, held an oratorical contest under the patronage of R ight Reverend Thom as J. W alsh, Bishop of N ew ark, and the personal direction of Reverend John A.

W eisbrod. Its purpose was to stir up, among the students of the H igh Schools and Colleges of the Diocese, a livelier interest in the work of the M issions, and an active co-operation w ith those already laboring in the M ission Field, by their prayers and material support.

Page 155: 1930 Petrean

A n elim ination contest w as held at St. P eter’s C ollege H ig h School for the purpose of choosing its representative. M r. John J . Sm ith, o f 4A , w as selected by the judges to represent the School, and M r . H arold R uvoldt, o f 4C , w as chosen as an alternate.

Because of the large number of contestants, the D iocese w as divided into sec­tions. A ccordingly, each section held an elim ination contest, that o f our section, H udson C ounty, taking place on M arch 12th. M r. John Sm ith w as judged the best orator and so qualified for the D iocesan F inals.

T h ese w ere held on M arch 27th , and, if one considers the ttally of points, the com petition w as very close. T h e representatives of St. E lizab eth ’s A cadem y and Seton H a ll H igh School, each w as credited w ith 15 points, w h ile our representative, M r. John J . Sm ith, received sixteen points. F irst honors w en t to St. E lizab eth ’s Academ y because of the greater number of “firsts,” second to Seton H a ll H igh School, and third to St. P eter’s.

in this region, N e w Y ork C ity, W estchester, L on g Island and N orth ­ern N e w Jersey, by T h e N e w Y ork T im es, is w e ll under w ay. Its purpose is to be an aid to greater interest in and respect for the C on­

stitution of the U nited States.M an y of the Fourth Y ear students enthusiastically entered the contest and am ong

the m any w ritten speeches subm itted, that of M r . Joseph F itzpatrick, of 4A , w as adjudged the best. T h en , on the afternoon of Thursday, M arch 20th, the contest­ants, divided into tw o groups, displayed their oratorical ability in an endeavor to be chosen the representative for St. P eter’s C ollege H igh School.

T h e tw o ablest speakers of either group, M r. John Sm ith, M r. Joseph F itz ­patrick, and M r . H arold R uvoldt, M r. Frederick Johnson, competed in the School’s finals. M r. John Smith, M r. H arold R uvoldt, M r. Joseph F itzpatrick, and M r. Frederick Johnson, were unanim ously judged first, second, third, and fourth, re­spectively.

O n Thursday evening, A pril 3rd, the H udson C ounty D istrict Sem i-Finals w ere held at the L incoln H igh School, Jersey C ity. T h e schools represented w ere St. A loysius Academ y, Bayonne H igh School, Bayonne E vening H igh School, St. M ich ­ael’s H igh School, and St. P eter’s C ollege H igh School. M r. John Smith, represent­ing the latter, spoke on “O u r Constitution, T h e R ealization of D em ocracy” and was voted “first” by the five judges. T h is w as the first tim e in the history of the C ontest in N ew Jersey that a contestant had w on unanimously.

Page 156: 1930 Petrean

T h e H udson C ounty D istrict F inals were held M onday evening, April 7th, at the Bay onne Senior H igh School, and our forensic warrior again carried off first honors w ith four “firsts,” a “third,” and a “fifth .” This! makes M r. Smith eligible to compete in the sectional finals to be held after “ T h e P e t r e a n ” goes to press.

If all goes w ell, he w ill compete in the regional contest to be held at T o w n H all, in N ew Y ork City, on Friday evening, M ay 16th. T h e w inner w ill qualify for the N ational Championship at W ashington, D . C ., on Saturday evening, M ay 24th; an event at which the judges have always been Associate Justices of the United States Supreme Court. T h e N a tio n a l champion w ill represent the U nited States in the fifth International Oratorical Contest at W ashington on Saturday evening, October 25th, where survivors from an initial field of tw enty nations w ill discuss their own governm ental principles or institutions.

T h e regional champion selected at T o w n H all w ill also receive a trip to Europe this summer w ith all expenses paid, $1',000 (the equivalent of a four years’ college tuition) and a gold medal. T h e second and third best speakers w ill receive $500 and $250 respectively, and gold medals. Each of the five other speakers w ill receive $50 and a silver medal.

T h is year, extemporaneous speaking is being added to the delivery of prepared orations in the sectional, regional, and N ational contests for the first time. In these contests, the contestants give six-m inute prepared orations, and follow in rota­tion, after a period of private study, w ith four-minute extemporaneous talks on im­promptu topics selected from their own chosen subjects. T h ey are judged equally upon both performances.

T o those of us w ho have heard M r. Sm ith’s extemporaneous speeches in the Beaudevin D ebating Society, w e feel his success is assured. W ith hearts beating high, w e hail our Champion O rator w ho has so gloriously conquered in the local field of battle, and hope and pray he shall fight his w ay victoriously to the Inter­national Finals, bringing glory and renown to himself and his dear Alm a M ater.

SODALITY

s* v E V O T I O N to O ur Lady is fostered and encouraged by the threeM 1 Sodalities now existing in the school. Father Q uilty , S .J., Student

M J C ounsellor, is in charge o f the Senior Sodality, com prising the T h ird and Fourth Y ear classes. T h e Interm ediate Sodality,- composed of

Second Y ear students is presided over by M r. Joseph Rooney, S .J., w hile M r. G oering, S .J., ably conducts the Junior Sodality.

I t is in the organization of the K nights of the Blessed Sacrament, that the students of St. P eter’s may take special pride. Every Friday m orning, one may see this band of K nights gathered in the church, reverently approaching the altar rail. I t is a great sacrifice for them to receive Com m union, w eekly, at St. P eter’s, but due to the great efforts of the Student C ounsellor and the w illin g co-operation of the students, this organization has flourished here and w e point w ith pride to the rapidly increasing numbers each week.

Success has crowned the efforts of Father Q uilty, S .J., in the m ovem ent to raise a fund for Father O ’N eil at the Jesuit M ission in M indanao, Philippine Islands. M onth after m onth, the students have contributed gladly to this work and they are well-repaid for their generosity by the heartfelt appreciation of the missionary, as seen from his grateful letters.

In tw o w eeks time a m arvelous transform ation had taken place. T h e boys w ho w ere so clum sy in handling the ball had suddenly become genuine ball-toters and tacklers. T h e y ran under punts w ith speed and precision; they dropped their men w ith d ispatch ; they ripped their lines w ith am azing skill. N o , it w as not a m iracle, it w as sim ply a case of eleven lads w ho fell w ith ease into their coach’s system of play.

W h atever outsiders may have thought of the first game w ith St. Cecilia, Prep, supporters w ere in no fear of the outcom e. T h e E nglew ood athletes had spent tw o w eeks at a camp before school opened and w ere declared to be in mid-season form, and they swooped upon the Petrean field w ith all the confidence of tw o to one favorites.

S E N S A T I O N A L 95-yard run for a touchdown by Jackie D oyle, St. y j P eter’s Prep halfback, featured the G rand Streeters’ 8-0 victory oveFS M St. Cecilia of E nglew ood at the Jersey C ity B all Park.

D oy le took the kickoff at the start of the second half on his own five-yard line and, behind splendid interference, w eaved his w ay through a broken field for one of the most brilliant runs in H udson C ounty football history. T h e score w as 2-0 in favor of Coach T om m y M yers’ team at the tim e and this touchdown virtually assured the G rand Streeters of victory as St. Cecilia could make little head­w ay against the strong St. P eter’s defense.

T h e first score of the game came in the opening quarter w hen Fricke passed over F im ble’s head and it rolled over the goal line w here Eddie E llis, Petrean end, tackled V arela for a safety. T h ese tw o points gave the M aroons a w orking lead u ntil D oy le turned in his great dash.

T h e first quarter w as devoid of thrills until the above described safety. A 15-yard run by M orris w as the biggest run of this period. T h e same player turned in another dash of the same length in the second session and Boylan made a 25-yard

Page 166: 1930 Petrean

S E N S A T I O N A L running attack enabled St. Peter’s Prep to crush f t H oly T rin ity Academ y of W estfield by the score of 58-0.

^ I T h e light visiting eleven offered weak resistance to the w ell-oiledPetrean attack after the first period, and it was merely a matter of how

many touchdowns the Grand Streeters w ould score. T h e final tally revealed nine six pointers for Coach T om m y M yers’ team. St. P eter’s made 14 first downs to one for H o ly T rin ity .

O utstanding in the M aroon assault was Johnny Boylan, speedy quarterback, who scored three touchdowns. T w o were as the result of long runs of 40 and 30 yards. M orris also played a star game for the M aroons. T h e H oly T rin ity team could do nothing w ith the strong Petrean defense which has held the opposition to two first downs in tw o games.

A T U R D A Y , O C T O B E R 12t h , may not have been St. Patrick’s Day, but V it was a big time for the Irish just the same. W ith the Buckleys and theX, J D oyles and the Shaughnessey’s “et ceteri” doing their work to perfection,

St. Peter’s Prep swarmed all over U nion H ill H igh to w in by a 13-0 score before a crowd of several thousand enthusiastic fans.

A touchdown in the first period and one in the final session enabled the Grand Streeters to down the fighting N orth H udson aggregation and give St. Peter’s its first triumph over the O range and Blue on the gridiron since 1919. O f course there have been several lapses in gridiron relations between the schools since that time and once the Petreans and the O range and Blue boys played a scoreless tie, but not until recently did the young men from Grand Street w ay come through.

St. P eter’s richly deserved the triumph. Coach M yers’ boys w ere aided by a break in scoring their first touchdown and their second m ight not have come, had not the U n ion H illers in desperation thrown passes from deep in their ow n territory in the closing m inutes of the game. H ow ever, the Prepsters gained more yardage than their rivals, m aking 13 first dow ns to eight and they showed more all around power.

T h e first few m inutes of the first quarter found the ball changing hands in rapid m anner. N eith er side could gain consistently and fum bles and interceptions of passes prevented anything in the w ay of a sustained offensive. T h e first big break w as forced by St. P eter’s toward the m iddle of the first quarter. M orris punted to M an alio w ho w as standing on his ow n 23 yard line. T h e pigskin rebounded from the little quarterback’s arms and before it even hit the ground, Shaughnessey, speedy Prep end, grabbed it.

H ere w as the Prep’s big chance and Coach M yers’ young men made the most of it. A fter D oy le and Boylan had failed to gain in tw o plays, M orris swept off tackle for 14 yards to U n ion ’s eight-yard stripe and a first down.

Boylan and D oyle made but four yards in tw o plays but an offside put U nion H ill back to its one-yard line. D oy le then w en t over for a touchdown but Boylan failed to make the extra point.

A t the start of the third quarter U n ion H il l made another grand assault and marched all the w ay from its ow n 23 yard line to the Prep 21 yard mark but here Boylan saved the situation for St. P eter’s w hen he intercepted a forw ard pass on his ow n live yard line.

St. P eter’s m ade a counter assault toward the end of the quarter, and succeeded in penetrating into U n ion H il l territory as the final session opened. H ow ever, the Petreans could not do any real damage and M orris booted one over the U n ion H ill goal line. U n ion opened up a desperate aerial attack at this stage. D oy le intercepted one of these tosses and ran to U n io n ’s 29 yard mark but a Prep pass w as likewise intercepted. O n ce m ore the ball changed hands as Boylan grabbed one out of the air on U n io n ’s 20-yard stripe. Boylan, M orris and D oy le made it first down on U n io n ’s eight yard line. In fo u r tries the ball w as finally pushed over the last w hite stripe. Boylan kicked the extra point. T h e game ended soon after.

T* H E M A R O O N O F S T . P E T E R ’S marched on to another county vic­

tory Saturday, dow ning M em orial H igh , last year’s county titleholders 19-0, at the W est N e w Y ork P laygrounds before a large crowd. In scor­ing their fourth successive triumph w ithout yielding the opposition a

single point, the Petreans made good use of every opportunity and w on because of superior football brains.

M em orial put up a hard fight and w as-not as badly outclassed as the score w ould indicate. H ow ever, the O range and Black w as unable to stop the sharp scoring thrusts of the Jersey C ity aggregation nor w ere the W est N ew Yorkers able to show anything in the w ay of an attack on their ow n hook.

St. P eter’s scored touchdow ns in all periods but the second, in w hich the battle w as very evenly fought. M orris, Boylan and Buckley scored the touchdowns for the M aroons. T h e first tw o m entioned played brilliant football throughout. T h e former w as too fast and speedy for the W est N ew Y ork team on off tackle and end runs and made many sizable gains w hile Boylan proved him self an adept receiver of for­w ard passes. Captain Roth as usual played a strong game on the line.

St. P eter’s lost no time, scoring in just three plays. A fter losing ground on one play, M orris heaved a pretty pass to Shaughnessey which gained some 40 yards and put the ball on the 20-yard line. M orris then circled le ft end for a touchdown. Boylan kicked the goal.

In the third quarter St. P eter’s scored again, and again it w as M orris w ho paved the w ay w ith a pretty run-back of a kick w hich placed the ball on the O range and Black 15-yard stripe. Boylan on one play raced off tackle for a touchdown.

In the final session the Petreans made their third tally. Starting on their 40-yard line, the M aroons paraded directly down the field for a score. M orris kept out­flanking the W est N e w Y ork w ings and turned in some short gains which combined w ith seme sturdy line bucking by Buckley and a pass from M orris to Boylan which placed the ball on the one-yard line and then Buckley w en t over. Shortly after, the game ended.

Page 170: 1930 Petrean

A side from these brief moments W est N ew York was not outplayed by any substantial margin. It was just the ability of the Jersey C ity Irish to strike w hile the iron was hot, that carried them to such a decisive victory.

s f H E A V Y M ackenzie School eleven crashed St. Peter’s Prep from the f t pedestal of the unbeaten elevens at the Passaic Stadium, subduing the

V S M M aroon 6-0 in an evenly fought, bruising battle. T h e lone touchdown of the game came in the third quarter as the result of tw o long dashes,

which covered 55 yards.N o t only w as it the first setback of the season for St. Peter’s but the game

marked the first time that the Prep goal line has been crossed by enemy cleats this season. T h e Petreans suffered more than a blot on their record, however. In an effort to stem the tide against a heavier outfit the M aroon team was badly battered. Captain Roth was carried from the field w ith a sprained ankle. Ryan, M orris and Boylan were also badly hurt and the rest of the regular array suffered injuries.

T h e game was pretty evenly fought all the w ay w ith neither side showing or giving any quarter. Penalties were numerous and slowed up the game considerably. N either side was able to gain consistently aside from the one scoring spurt which came in the third quarter. First downs were six for M ackenzie and five for St. Peter’s.

M ackenzie scored w ith startling suddenness. T h e N ew York boys had the ball resting oh their own 45-yard mark w hen Buttonow broke loose for a brilliant run around end for 30 yards. H ardly had the uproar died down follow ing this dash when W hite, a substitute, broke loose and raced over the Prep goal line, a sprint of some 25 yards.

St. Peter’s threatened but once in the pastime, reaching the 23-yard stripe in the second quarter only to be set back by a penalty. M ackenzie also got to the 23-yard line late in the game but St. Peter’s held for downs.

s f C R IP P L E D St. Peter’s Prep football team proved no match for they / powerful Seton H all ball carriers, and the annual clash between

V/ M these Catholic rivals at South Orange resulted in a 33-0 setback for the M aroon and W hite. Coach H einie Benkert’s team scored on a

break in the first m inute of play and tallied quite frequently thereafter, despite a gamefight on the part of the Jersey C ity team.

Seton H all got a great break on the first play of the game. T h e kickoff rolled over the goal line. It was claimed that one of the Petreans had touched the ball, and when one of the Seton H all players fell on the ball it was ruled a touchdown.

St. Peter’s only threatened once when Boylan intercepted a forward pass and ran to Seton H a ll’s 18-yard mark, but the Prep could not gain, and lost the ball on downs. Boylan played a great game for St. Peter’s on the defense, breaking up play after play and pulling down several of the Seton H all aerials.

Page 171: 1930 Petrean

s f S U R P R I S I N G L incoln H igh School eleven put up a great fight against St. P eter’s Prep in the annual m eeting between the Jersey C ity rivals.

S M T h e B lue and W h ite outplayed the M aroons m ost o f the way,keeping the ball in P etrean’s territory nearly all the tim e. H ow ever,

Coach O z z ie N e lso n ’s inspired eleven lacked the scoring punch which their rivals possessed. W hereas, L incoln , m aking eight first dow ns to six for St. P eter’s lacked the ability to com e through on no less than four scoring opportunities. T h e Petreans w ere able to make good on their on ly tw o real bids for a score.

In the third quarter, L incoln had the ball on the one-yard line and four downs m w hich to make the distance, but the final try fe ll short by a foot. A nother time, the B lue and W h ite advanced to the three-yard chalk-m ark w ith four dow ns to go and again failed by inches to go over.

In the second period St. P eter’s took a chance w ith a forw ard pass on its 10-yard line and this gam ble w hich proved successful paved the w ay for the first Prep score. M orris hurled a short pass over the line of scrim m age to B oylan w ho caught the L in ­coln secondaries unawares, and raced 60 yards to the 30-yard line before Buddy Balfour pulled him dow n from behind. B alfour, a track m an, prevented a sure touchdown, right then and there.

Boylan made 12 yards off right tackle, and D oy le picked up 10 at the other tackle to place the ball on the eight-yard line. D oy le w en t six yards around end to the two-yard line, and then M orris crashed through centre for a touchdown.

In the fourth quarter a 30-yard run off tackle by Jackie D oyle gave St. P eter’s another touchdow n. A fter a poor kick had given the ball to St. P eter’s on L incoln ’s 40-yard mark, D oy le crashed off tackle for 10 yards and then h6 made his long spurt to score. L incoln interfered w ith the pass for extra point and it w as awarded to the Prep.

T ow ard the end of the first period a short kick gave L incoln the ball on the Prep 29-yard line. A run by Berhang and short pass, B alfour to D onohue, placed the ball on St. P eter’s 14-yard line but again St. P eter’s held firm and took the ball on downs.

Just before the half ended a forward pass for 25 yards placed the ball on the P etrean’s 11-yard chalk-mark, but Boylan averted a score by intercepting a pass.

In the third and fourth periods Lincoln continually attacked the Prep goal, tw ice com ing w ithin inches of a score but the B lue could not put it over.

rH E P R E P S T E R S put up a gallant fight against a strong St. Benedict’s team, but finally succumbed by a 24-0 count, after outplaying the Gray Bees in the first half which ended in a scoreless tie.

T h e Petreans came to N ew ark w ith the lineup which tallied five con­secutive w ins before being downed by M ackenzie Prep and Seton H all Prep. In the first half of the game the backfield quartet of Buckley, M orris, Jim Boylan and Jackie D oyle did some tall ground-gaining and tw ice were w ithin the scoring zone. Here they were repulsed.

A fter the intermission the Bees w en t to work on their own account. In rapid succession, w ith line bucks, end sweeps and forward passes playing a major part, the Bee backs rolled up four touchdowns.

T hree of the four were earned while the fourth saw Tedesco, a distinctly alert player, intercept a pass and run 45 yards for a touchdown. O n all four occasions, however, the Bees failed to score the extra points.

T h e fact that their opponents failed to score any extra points proves that the Petreans were fighting even in the face of defeat. Captain Roth, Ryan and Buckley played brilliantly for the Prep.

JI N A L L Y our big gam e w ith D ick inson arrived. I t w as a raw day

and the fifteen thousand spectators shivered in the cold autum nal w ind. A great roar acclaim ed the arrival o f both team s upon the field, the Prep team for the first tim e sporting their new jerseys.

T h e battle that fo llow ed w as closely fought but the power of the giant D ickinson team proved too much for the ligh t and handicapped Prep team. O u r lads fought bravely and although they lost, they w en t dow n w ith flying colors, this being the greatest team D ick inson ever put on the field. T h e final score w as 13-0.

D u r in g the first quarter the Prep held the big G reen team in check and smashed all their attem pts to score but in the second quarter, St. P eter’s weakened by their efforts in the first quarter w ere unable to check the passing of the D ickinson team. A long forw ard to M . Singer resulted in the first D ick inson touchdow n. F inelli, brother of the form er Prep star, added the extra point for D ickinson. T h e score now stood at 7-0, and D ickinson, scenting their first victory since 1926, began to throw passes all over in an effort to enlarge the score. F in a lly A lbers caught one of these forw ard passes and raced some ten yards for the last score. T h e try for the extra point failed and the half ended shortly after this.

T h e second half w as a repetition of the first quarter w ith the Prep valiantly trying to score but the fates w ere against us and the game ended in a victory for the H illtop .

T h e gam e w as begun under fair conditions but the w eather changed and the final w histle found the field enshrouded in a m antle of snow.

S soon as the football season closed, Coach M yers issued his call for z j basketball candidates. T h ere w ere quite a few regulars on hand from

y . S M last year’s team and our prospects for the com ing season w ere very bright. T h e acquiring of the O akland A rena as our home court had

also solved one of our greatest difficulties.W ith our opening game w ith Bayonne just a few days off, Coach M yers was

faced w ith the difficult task of w eld in g together a pow erful aggregation in a very short time. B ut w ith F inn, D on n elly , G eraghty, Andrus, H anlon , M cF eely , and Brow n as the backbone, our team began to take on a very form idable appearance.

T h e team w as in fairly good condition, but the short length of preparation prevented it from being anything near perfection. T h e opening game found the team w ith signs of its great potential ability, but also w ith a tinge of greenness. L et us. glance through the Prep schedule and judge for ourselves the m erits of the 1929-1930 quintet.

T . P E T E R ’S w ere defeated in their opening game by a strong Bayonne V team to the count of 31-23. Sensational playing of Peacock and the

inability of our boys to score from the foul line cost the Prepsters their first game. T ra ilin g at the half time, 22-9, St. P eter’s came back

strong in the last half to outscore their rivals, 14-9, but the big lead of the Leemen proved too much to be overcome. G eraghty and D on n elly played a d azzling game, intercepting passes and scoring from difficult angles.

Page 176: 1930 Petrean
Page 177: 1930 Petrean

St. P eter’s next engaged the strong N ew ark Prep team on our home court. T h e N ew ark boys set right to w ork and amassed a four point lead. T h en m ainly through the spectacular shooting of Bennie G eraghty and the fine defensive playing of A ndy Andrus, the teams w ere deadlocked at the half. T h e teams were evenly m atched during the second half and at the end of the fourth quarter the score stood 21 all. T h e N ew ark quintet, fearing to endanger their lon g w in n in g streak, refused to continue the contest. R eferee D egn an then awarded the gam e to us on a forfeit.

T h e fo llow in g Friday St. P eter’s traveled to N e w Y ork and m et defeat at the hands of the strong Stock Exchange quintet by the score of 42-24 . T h e home team started fast and led at half time, 23-8. T h en in the last half both teams w ent on a rampage and staged a thrilling battle. T h e Prep, led by M cF ee ly and G eraghty, rolled up sixteen points w hile the locals amassed nineteen. M cF ee ly rendered him ­se lf invaluable in this game.

N o w came our first big gam e w ith L incoln on their home court. Previous to this the B lue and W h ite had been undefeated, but they w ere taking no chances w ith our boys. T h e Prep took the lead at the beginning of the game and led by G eraghty and F inn, played a d azzlin g game and proceeded to roll up the score w ith deadly persistance. T ra ilin g 17-7 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, L incoln, recovering from its am azement, staged a furious rally but the Prep tightened up and the game w as ours.

A fter vanquishing L incoln, the Prep engaged a pow erful A lum ni team and defeated them to the tune of 43-23 . T h e A lum ni quintet w as composed of stars of previous years, but their individual brilliance w as overcom e by the sterling passwork and co-operation of the Prepsters.

W ith a short rest, St. P eter’s tackled L incoln again in the return game at the O akland. I t w as a hard fought battle throughout, and only a last period rally saved the game for the Prep. W ith the score tie in the last quarter, A ndrus made a pretty shot from m id-court, and H an lon and B row n follow ed suit to put the game on ice for the M aroon, thus running up 22 points, w hile Lincoln could only gather 18. T h is victory put us in the lead and elim inated Lincoln from the city title race.

O ur next opponent at the O akland w as Seton H a ll and, much to our sorrow, the final w histle found us at the short end of a 35-22 score. St. P eter’s started fast and rung up six points before the South O range team scored, but then, Seton H a ll, led by Spagnolia, began to toss the ball in from all angles. T h e inability of the Prep to check this man was the main cause of the Prep dow nfall.

T h e jin x that had settled on the team w ith the Seton H a ll game traveled w ith us to U n ion C ity on the fo llow in g Friday and as a consequence w e dropped a thrill­ing battle to St. M ich ael’s. T h e final score was 34-29, but the Prep was in the van until a thrilling attack by St. M ich ael’s in the last quarter snatched victory right out of our hands. D u r in g the entire contest the crow d w as kept on its feet by the spectacular shooting and passing of both teams. H anlon and G eraghty were the outstanding players for the Prep.

T h e return game w ith St. M id ia e l’s at the O akland w as just as thrilling as

Page 178: 1930 Petrean
Page 179: 1930 Petrean

the previous one despite the rather low com parative score. A gain St. M ich ael’s w on by a spectacular rally in the last quarter, w hen the score w as tied at 18 all. W ith less than tw o m inutes to play, the U nion C ity lads sunk tw o baskets in quick succession to settle the gam e beyond a doubt. F inn at center played his usual fine gam e and collected six points.

St. P eter’s next traveled to E nglew ood and defeated the St. C ecilia’s passers, 26-22 . T h e gam e w as rather slow and the strain of the last few gam es could easily be seen in our' passwork. St. C ecilia’s battled hard but they w ere too inexperienced for our lads. T h is gam e also ended our three game losing streak.

O n the 29th of January, the Prep traveled to W e st N e w Y ork where they handed the O range and Black a 28-15 drubbing. A fter the first quarter the M aroon and W h ite took the lead and w ere never headed. G eraghty and D onn elly , w ith 7 and 8 points, respectively, led the Prep attack. T h is gam e marked the beginning of the drive w hich led to the C ounty Cham pionship.

A fter the sensational victory over W est N e w Y ork, the Prep scored the greatest upset o f the season, overw helm ing the fast D em arest team , 34-18, and establishing itself as a championship contender. T h e H oboken lads, know n as a team hard to beat on its ow n court, w ere at no tim e during the game1, able to w ithstand the fury of the Prep attack. T h e M aroon and W h ite started fast and at half tim e were lead­ing, 17-10. T h e third quarter w as a rout for D em arest and at its end the Prep held a 25-11 lead. In the last quarter D em arest fought desperately but in, vain, and the game ended w ith the Jesuits far in the lead. Jack F inn, p laying his last game for St. P eter’s, w ound up his basketball career in a blaze o f glory. H e scored six field goals to his rival’s one, and consistently outtapped him. H anlon , w ith nine points, also starred for the Prep.

It w as fa irly w e ll into the last half o f the season, and St. P eter’s continued on its w in n in g streak, this being the fourth consecutive gam e w on . In the last quarter of the D ickinson E vening game, the Prep w as trailing by a score of 15-9. A s if a demon had taken hold of the lads from G rand Street, they opened an attack which lasted the rem aining part of the game. W h en the final w histle had blow n the score board read St. P eter’s, 17; D ickinson Evening, 15. D on n elly , the future all-state center, starred for the Prep.

A fter w in n in g four gam es in succession, St. P eter’s w as tallied w ith a loss to St. B enedict’s at Shanley gym . In the first three m inutes of play the G ray Bees overwhelm ed the Petreans by a run of nine points. T h en the same spirit that came to the assistance of the H udson C ounty lads in their tussle w ith D ickinson Evening, made itself evident. F or the rem aining periods o f the game, the N ew ark lads were hard pressed by the eager Prepsters. A lthough St. P eter’s tried its best, the count w as not in favor of them, and they arose on the short end of a 41-28 score.

T h e M aroon and W h ite now engaged D ickinson at the L incoln gym in the first game of the series. I t w as a very exciting game and only a furious rally by the Prep saved the game for us. T ra ilin g at the half, 11 to 4, our boys staged a great rally, as only Petrean quintets can. D ickinson fought bravely but the last quarter

Page 180: 1930 Petrean

found their lead cut down to one point. In the last quarter, Bud Brow n looped in a pretty shot from the side to put us in the lead. G eraghty then follow ed suit and, together w ith D on n elly ’s foul, gave us the w inning points.

In their return game at the Oakland, St. P eter’s fu lly avenged their early loss to Bayonne, by subduing the South Hudsonites, 36-17. D espite the one sided score, the game was quite interesting, the brilliant passing and shooting of the Prepsters featuring the contest. Bayonne was outclassed in every department and it is quite evident that if the previous game had been played later in the season, there w ould be a great difference in the score. Bob H anlon led both teams in- scoring w ith nine points.

St. Cecil ia’s, endeavoring to avenge a previous loss, w as defeated at the Oakland by the score of 27-24. T h e game was quite interesting in the second half when St. P eter’s, leading at the bell by 19-10, slackened a bit in the third quarter only to find their lead cut to tw o points by a hard fighting Englew ood team. A t this time Geraghty, w ho had been forced out of the contest earlier in the evening, due to injur­ies, was rushed back into the fray and he scored four points to give us our second victory over the Cecilia’s.

St. P eter’s journeyed to South Orange and had their w inning streak shattered-by the strong Seton H a ll aggregation by the tune of 32-29. T h e superb work of the Petrean quintet w as unable to overcome the shooting of the Setonians. T h e fighting spirit of the Prepsters was evident throughout the entire game but, try as they might, they were unable to overtake the lead that the Setonians gained against them in the first quarter. D onnelly and G eraghty were the outstanding players for the Prep.

T h e Prep next defeated Dem arest in an overtime period, 23-21. T h e game was played on our home court and marked our second victory over the Hoboken lads. T h e game was very exciting and was featured by some fine playing by Brown, D onnelly and Geraghty. St. Peter’s had a comfortable margin at the third quarter but were overtaken by the fighting Dem arest team. In the extra period, D onnelly tossed in a left-handed shot and H anlon sunk a foul to w in the game. T h is game put us in the lead for the county title.

St. Peter’s reached the peak of their brilliance when they defeated the all- conquering St. Benedict’s team at the Oakland by 23-20. St. Peter’s fought an uphill battle all along until the last few minutes when they took the lead and held it to the end to shatter a 33 game w inning streak of the Gray Bees. “A team that w on ’t be beat, can’t be beat,” and this seemed to be the motto adopted by the Petrean five. For three periods the Prep doggedly trailed the Grey Bees, but in the last quarter they swept into the lead, carrying everything before them. Brilliant work by H anlon and Andrus and the splendid co-operation of the other players enabled St. Peter’s to emerge on top.

St. P eter’s next traveled to N ew York and defeated the strong X avier Prep of that city. T h e Prep started poorly but led by one point at the half. T hen in the second half Geraghty ran w ild, scoring no less than seventeen points, more than half

Page 181: 1930 Petrean

the Prep’s entire total. X av ier continued to fight gam ely, but they could not match the brilliance of our players. D on n elly played his usual fine gam e at center.

St. P eter’s annexed the county title and brought their season to a close w ith a decisive victory over their ancient rivals, D ick inson. T h e final score w as 22-10 , the H illtoppers never having a chance, w ere outplayed throughout the entire contest. Ben G eraghty, captain and forw ard of the Petrean quintet, tallied ten points, as much as the entire D ickinson team. B ut, it w as the all-around playing of our boysthat made this victory possible. So the curtain fa lls on another basketball seasonbringing w ith it the county title, after a lapse of a dozen years. It is quite probable that next year’s team, w ith G eraghty, D on n elly and B row n as the nucleus, w ill suc­cessfully defend their hard-earned title.
