“ H a v in g been p erfected in a short space, he fu lfilled a lo n g tim e.” T h ese w ords o f the B o o k o f W isd o m are applied b y our H o ly M other Church, to one o f her yo u th fu l saints, St. Stanislaus K o stk a , in the M ass w hich has been composed in his honor. H e w as ju st at the beginning o f his career in the S o cie ty o f Jesus, fields w hite w ith the harvest w ere ready fo r the reapers beckoned him on.

T o our human w a y o f thin kin g su rely here w as an instrum ent w o rth y o f being em ployed in the divine w o rk o f ga th ­ erin g in souls, “ but H is w ays are not our w a y s,” since H e took him H om e befo re he had rea lly begun to feel the heat and the labor o f the day.

M r. W illia m A . W a rd w as ju st at the beginning o f L if e ’s H ig h w a y . St. M ich ael’s P a ro ch ia l School, St. P e te r’s P rep , and F ordh am C o lle g e had successively stamped him w ith their seals o f a p p ro v a l; each w as proud to call him son and to be his “ A lm a M a te r.” H is teachers and his classm ates, all w ere gla d and ready to vouch fo r the sterlin g noble character o f W illia m A . W a rd , their fo rm er pupil and school­ mate. T h e y presaged success fo r him in w h atever line o f endeavor he w ould choose.

L a st Septem ber, under the guidance o f one these fo rm er teachers, R ev. P . M .

C ollin s, S. J., he began to teach at St. P e te r’s H ig h School. H is teaching w as but a side branch to his m ain preparation as he w as also studying A cco u n tan cy L a w and P u b lic Speaking.

A g a in it w as the case o f m an proposing and God disposing. “ H a v in g been per­ fected in a short space he had fu lfilled a lo n g tim e.” O n M onday, N ovem ber seventh, he tau gh t school w ith his usual enthusiasm in spite o f a severe headache. A s he w as leavin g school M o n d ay aftern oon he bade F r. C ollin s and his fellow -teachers his usual ch eerfu l “ Good aftern oon .” T o the hope expressed that he w ould be better by W e d ­ nesday’s class, he a n s w e re d : “ O h, I ’ll be a ll righ t.” O n his a rriv a l home he decided to lie down, but a short tim e a fte rw ard s he w as seized w ith convulsions, due to acute indigestion. T h e p riest and doctors Were summoned and although they did a ll they could, it w as o f no a va il as G od’s A n g e l had summoned him to meet his M aster. H e had a lw a y s led an exem p lary C h ristian life , he had hearkened to Jesus’ w ords : “ W a tch and p r a y ; fo r you kn ow not the day nor the hour.” H e w as ready w hen the M aster called. H eaven ’s ga in is our loss.

T h e suddenness o f his death w as a shock to the F a cu lty and the w hole student body o f St. P e te r’s, but to none m ore than to his fe llo w teachers and pupils at M anresa H a ll. H e had only tau gh t eight w eeks, but this w as not too short a tim e fo r his youn g proteges to learn that he w as a fa ith fu l and true friend.

JOHN D. BIROC Sodality (3-4) “ W h a t is w orth doing is w ortfi doing w e ll" A visit to our classroom any day during :he yea r w ould have disclosed John sitting in the first bench near the black-board, busily engaged in doing n othing; at least it w ould seem that John w as doing noth­ ing. H o w ever, had the visit been pro­ longed w h ile the p ro fesso r asked ques­ tions, John’s true occupation w ould have been discovered. T h e visito r w ould learn that he had been “ doing nothing” but p ay­ ing attention. John is so quiet that there are tim es w hen one even doubts his pres­ ence in the room. N o one yet has been know n to d raw him into an argument.

T h is how ever does not mean that he lacks aggressiveness, and w e are confident that in his determined, quiet w a y John w ill go fa r alon g the p athw ay o f attainment. “ Joh n D "

N o t only is E d w ard a model o f correct-dressing but he is also an e x ­ em plification o f the p erfect student, fo r M r. B ra d y ’s report-card is as spotless (our definition o f spot being “ s ix ty ” ) as his person. E d ’s athletic a b ility is attest­ ed to by the fa ct that he w as selected as “A ll-H u d so n -G u ard ” last season. W o o d cliffe claim s E d as a native son, and w e have it that he is quite popular w ith the W o o d cliffe belles. H o w ever, this popu­ la rity cannot exceed that o f E d w ith his classmates, and w e all join in w ish ing him the best o f luck in his future endeavors.

In first and second yea rs Joe show ed m arked a b ility in w rit­ ing, and now , in. senior year, he has reached the pinnacle o f lite ra ry attainm ent. A l ­ though the environm ent o f J ersey C ity does not entice an adventurous youth, yet w h at can deter the ideal mind fro m soar­ in g a lo ft to boundless realm s o f im agin a­ tio n ?

A lth o u g h noted chiefly fo r his literary talent Joe displayed no little com petency on the g rid iro n last f a ll w h ile a m ember o f the cham pionship fo otb a ll squad. I'f Joe yields to the charm s o f literature w e cannot but predict fo r him an enviable success.

CHARLES E. CANNON Debating Team (3-4) “ T he applause o f listening senates to command.”

T h is eminent gentlem an is distinguished fo r his eloquence. “ C h arlie” has estab­ lished an enviable reputation fo r him self and has exalted the name o f St. P e te r’s by his public debating. Sch ool-spirit ju st n aturally pours fo rth fro m “ C h arlie” like lava fro m a volcano.

F ootball rooters are fam ilia r w ith his dynam ic p erfo rm ­ ances as cheer-leader. C harles E d w a rd is alw ays fam ilia r w ith current topics and if ever one w as doubtful concerning a question o f the d ay he approached friend “ C h arlie” and w as enlightened forthw ith .

I f his entire course at St. P e te r’s is any criterion his success in the outer-w orld is assured, fo r there is no one m ore diligent and a live to opportunities than “ C h arlie.”

ALO YSIUS S. CARNEY Football (4) ; Sodality (3-4) " T h in g s won are done,, jo y ’s soul lies in the doing.” “ A l,” like nature, never hurries. T h is fau lt o f the H arrison ite, how ever, is drow ned in the jo lly good-fellow ship and jo via l disposition displayed by him not at intervals but alw ays.

F ro m occasional hints dropped by “ A l ,” w e expect to see H a rriso n bloom fro m a villa g e to a m etropolis under his political policies. In the m eanwhile “ A l ’s” poli­ tical services are open to the highest bid­ der. O n ly fo r the summer though, since H a rriso n ’s future A lderm an intends to furth er his education at F ordh am law.

ANTHONY B. CASHMAN Football (4) ; Basketball (3-4) “ T hough vanquished he could argue still.”

E v e r eager fo r new fields to conqufer in athletics and studies “ A n to n e” has established him self am ong us as a man o f undying a ctivity. H e is equally adept in so lvin g intricate G eom etrical theorems and in handling either the football or the basketball.

A vivaciou s cheerful, and ca re -fre e per­ son is “ Jim m y.”

Sad w ou ld have been the long, arduous v o y a g e o f fo u r years on the severe ship Sch ola , if “ Jim m y” had not enlivened and aroused us fro m our hard studious hibernation by his jo v ia l sayin gs and w itticism s.

A s pleasant a schoolm ate as e’er w as found, he has won his w a y into our hearts w ith his d eligh t­ fu l humor, and treasured h im self there by his ardent go o d -w ill and optimism.

H ig h School proved serious business and w e w ere soon w in din g our w a y throu gh the intricacies o f L atin and A lg eb ra . O u r first taste o f St. P e te r’s spirit w as pleasing and soon F irs t Y e a r A w as tak in g the lead in Junior activities, producing the cham pion basketball team and the only class paper o f the year. O th er honors came in the w a y o f leading the school in the am ount subscribed fo r the U nited W a r W o rk e r Cam paign and show ing the w a y to the Junior division o f the school in the athletic d rive. E r e w e had madte o u rselves fu lly a t home, w e foun d the end o f o ur first yea r d raw in g to a close.

T h e final event o f the yea r w as an outing to N ew D orp, S. I. W e le ft M r. F u ller w ith regrets fo r indeed he had endeared him self to us all by the kind interest w h ich he took in each individual o f the class. A ssu re d ly the recol­ lection o f his helpfulness is im printed on our m em ory as deeply as the pleasure o f that year. W ith a ll the pomp due the occasion, w e assum ed.the ro le o f Seco n d -Y ea r men. F ortun e again fav o re d us in bestow ing on us M r. H . C . G reenw ell, S. J., as the skipper o f the ship o f know ledge. Since w e w ere m ore m ature now, w e w ere treated to a new intellectual food, about w hich w e had m any forebodings, nam ely Greek.

H o w ever, this food proved to be v e ry indigestible and w e are still suffering from G recian dyspepsia. It w as the task o f M r. L ucas, S. J., to imbue us w ith the spirit o f X enophon and H om er but he found us entirely unsym pathetic to the beauty, so called, o f classical Greek.

A t this juncture w e met Caesar, and m any o f us are still w ondering how there can be so m any people in the w orld to-day a fte r a ll that C aesar killed.

In fo rm in g Second Y e a r A , a number fro m F irs t Y e a r D w ere added to' the original class o f i - A brin gin g new talent to the class. A considerable w eigh t w as also added w hen a rustic youth fro m Red B a n k joined our midst. Second Y e a r w as a continuation o f progress in studies tempered w ith m any enjoyable times.

The class outing at the end o f the y ear w as a huge success and one that w e shall never fo rge t. It w as a fitting clim ax to a v e ry successful year.

C arried on the fleeting w ings o f tim e w e arrived at the third lap o f our journ ey through St. P e ter’s. W ith grea t jo y we learned that M r. G reenw ell, S. J., would again guide us through the m aze o f difficulties that the know ledge seeker finds con-

59

fro n tin g him. T o M r. W a ls h fe ll the enviable position o f teaching us chem istry, w h ile the budding linguists had as tutors M r. C on roy, S. J., in Spanish, and M r.

K e lly , S. J., in French.

D a not doubt, kind reader, that w e ever p erform ed chem ical experim ents m erely because St. P e te r’^ is still standing intact. T h a t isn ’t our fa u lt but “ D o c” W a lsh becam e several hairs balder in preventin g us fro m b lo w in g up the school, not that w e w ere B o lsh eviks but w e w e re interested in the upw ard advancem ent o f things.

I'n T h ird Y e a r w e learned fro m Cicero, “ W h o w as th e greatest m an that ever lived,” and if the N o rth P o le w as ever discovered, w hose statue ought to be placed on it ? ” X enophon tried to m ake us run all o ver G reece fo llo w in g C yru s in the A n ab asis but w e p referred to see A m e rica first and so ignored the poor fellow .

G eom etry first cam e into prom inence in our Junior y ea r and although w e thought w e kn ew it b efo re, w e learned fo r the first time w h y a straigh t line is not crooked and m any other such things. I t w as in third y ea r that our class became know n fo r its debating ability. D ebates w ere even conducted in Spanish. T h e Junior C lass N igh t w as one o f m errim ent and enjoym en t fo r all.

N o doubt the term ination o f our third y e a r brought m ingled feelings o f jo y and sorrow . M r. G reenw ell, w ho by this tim e had becom e an idol in the heart o f e v e ry m ember o f the C lass o f 1922 w as to leave us to enter upon his course in theology at W o o d sto ck. H is name shall ever be associated w ith practical kn ow ledge and many happy tim es, that w e have had a t St. P e te r’s. T hen, w h ile w e w ere gla d to have su cce ssfu lly com pleted another year, still it brought us nearer to the tim e w hen w e m ust leave our A lm a M ater.

F o u rth Y e a r w ith a ll its im portance con ferred on us the to ga o f Seniorship.

U n d er the leadership o f M r. G arner, S. J., the entire class set out w ith earnestness to achieve the final honors w hich the successfu l com pletion o f F ourth Y e a r would bring. M r. G arn er w as a new com er to St. P e te r’s, but it did not take lo n g fo r us to get acquainted. W e soon fe lt a t ease under his guidance so that acquaintanceship soon ripened into esteem and affection on our part. W e entered a new field in P h y sics under the able direction o f F ath er Kiehne, S. J. A s an expounder o f the principals o f G eom etry w e also had F ath er Kiehne. M r. G illeran, S. J., took charge o f the F rench class w hile M r. Joyce m anaged the Spanish class.

L atin w as the least o f our w orries but the educators havin g decided to continue Greek, w e started to show them w h at a fo o lish m ove they made. H o w ever, school, like life cannot be a ll jo y so I suppose G reek must continue to exist.

A s the d ay draw s near w hen w e shall receive our diplomas, the recognition o f our fo u r y ea rs o f study, w e look fo rth w ith all the confidence o f youth to the future.

A n d w ith us look fo rth the Jesuits w ho have tau ght us kn ow ledge o f life itself and life ’s object. T h ese s elf-sa crifitin g men gaze into fu tu rity w ith fath e rly care to see i f the seeds w hich they have planted in our hearts and minds w ill blossom fo rth in later life , and w ith G od’s help they w ill, fo r no one o f us w ho have come under their ennobling influence w ill fa ll b y the w ayside. A s the risin g sun sends fo rth its rays into every nook and corner to lighten a darkened w orld, so St. P eter’s sends fo rth her sons o f 1922 into e ve ry field o f endeavor illumined w ith intellectual light that they m ay enlighten a w orld darkened by m aterialism , im m ortality and spiritual ignorance.

F ath er C ollins, S. J., P r e fe c t o f Studies, assigned us to a classroom in the W a rren S tre et building. I t w as there, under the guidance Of M r. M cA re e, S.

It w as there also w ere born those friendships that w ere to m ake our high school days blessed. M r. M c A re e remained w ith us scarce a fo rtn igh t, w hen he w as tra n sfe rre d to Fordham U n iversity, to take charge o f the S. A . T . C. physics course. H e w as replaced by M r. B row n , S.

T w o months passed quick ly and pleasantly.

T h en suddenly M r. B ro w n con­ tracted pneumonia, and a fte r a b rie f illness, w as called to his eternal rew ard.

M r. G an tly succeeded him, but w as fo rced to resign a fte r a short fe w w eeks.

O u r fo u rth helm sm an w as M r. Creahan, S. J. H e, too, stayed w ith us but a short time, yield in g to M r. Sherw ood, under w hom w e completed the year. D u e to such extra o rd in a ry circum stances, the class w as slow to come into its own. W e had to be satisfied w ith fo llo w in g, not setting the pace, in school activities.

B u t the d a y dawned a t last w hen w e climbed one ru ng higher, w hen w e set out to w in fam e at St. P e te r’s fo r the class o f Second Y e a r B . M r.

B ra v e w as the man w ho dared fa ce us in a L atin o r G reek quiz. O u r class outing w as a success in e ve ry w ay, and a ’fitting clim a x to so gloriou s a year.

September, 1920, found us located in a room on the third corridor, under the experienced hand o f M r. M cG ro ry , S. J. It w as here a number o f new faces made their app earan ce' in our midst, new in the sense that they m igrated fro m another section, w hich had been dismembered. D u rin g this y ear cam e a fu ll appreciation o f St. P e ter’s. T h a t loyalty, characteristic o f the school, took possession o f us. W e proved it by the generous quota w e gave to athletics. W e w ere also the leading class in the athletic drive. T h ese accomplishm ents made 3-B the cynosure o f all eyes.

T w o picnics to Palisad e P a r k w ound up our third and thus fa r m ost successful year.

W e returned this year, it seems, but to say good-bye. W h a t a difference three years had made. L o n g 'tro u se rs hid the shapely ca lf o f even V erdon , the younger.

ulhnmas jRajjtttottii OThakn Along life’s highway we walk, schoolmates, journeying on, filled with the confidence of youth. Ever onward we travel, while the ribbon of life unravels and recedes, the past making way for the present, the future always ahead, hidden in a go’.den haze. As we pass the milestones, we survey the on-coming ranks. In them we find a vacancy, a space high-piled with memories of him by whom it was occupied, records of the virtues, the achievements of one whom God, in His infinite wisdom saw fit to call unto Himself. We see him again, in his place in the ranks, smiling, gentle­ manly, true. A friend who is all that a friend can be, a student of unques­ tioned merit, an enthusiastic sportsman, and above all a devout child of God. We hear again of his appointment to the managership of the football team, which position he was to occupy next fall-—a tribute to his business ability, evidence of his popularity. We see him once more winning a place on the C e p h e a n Staff, by virtue of his talent and his keen interest in school affairs.

Steadily the ranks pass on, and the sad eyes of every marcher turn to the space occupied by those treasured memories of Ray Whalen, while a silent prayer for his welfare rises to heaven from every heart.

T h e daw n o f our last y ear at St. P e terâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a t last been born to us, and w e jo y fu lly found ourselves hailed as the men w ho constitute Sen io r Prep.

S e n io rs! w h at a gloriou s t it le ! and yet w h ile w e w ere in our in fa n cy w e feared w e should not be w o rth y o f the name, but tim e has been w a fted on the fleeting w ings o f the past and the a g e o f our career as seniors has at last reopened. N o w w e review w ith pride the deeds o f a y ea r that has been crow ned w ith the laurefs o f our activities as true Senior P rep men.

V en us in her w isdom ga ve us an abundance o f love fo r our A lm a M ater, and the first signs o f our school spirit w as made m an ifest w ith the opening o f the football season. T h e m a jo rity o f the im portant positions o f the team w ere held dow n by men o f F o u r A , w hile the all-im portan t position o f quarter-back w as supervised by our noble president. In basketball and baseball the m ainstays w ere born fro m am ong us, w hile in dram atics w e sent men w orth y o f the roles they played. T h e ir ab ility as T hespians had no sm all p art in m akin g the annual p lay a success.

W h en Fordham and X a v ie r sent across the w ater a challenge to debate, again our class w as up and doing, and fo u r out o f the eight men w ho represented St. P e te râ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hailed from F o u rth Y e a r A .

T h e Senior Sodality, one o f our boasts, w as w ell attended by our men and due no doubt to the keen interests displayed by our representatives helped the S o ciety to bloom and bear fru it as it has.

D u rin g the y ear 1921-1922 a school paper w as begun and under the guidance o f our E d ito r-in -C h ief the paper achieved success in the field o f journalism , and has become far-fam ed both in school and secular activities.

W ith the setting o f the sun on our prep days, w e extend a hearty invitation to Junior prep to step into our place and ca rry on the activities o f St. P e te râ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s w ith like success.

A s a flcw e r unfolds its petals, so did our last yea r at St. P e te r’s bloom forth.

U nder the pleasing title o f “ Sen iors” w e set out on our last y ear as students o f St. P e te r’s Prep. F o rtu n ately none o f our section had toppled into the abyss o f failu re, and it w as w ith jubilant hearts that w e entered our last class. T h e enticing call o f the grid iro n summoned fo u r fro m our number and on the field they played in a m anner characteristic o f St. P e te r’s men. T h e Senior Banquet w as one never to be forgotten .

O n this m em orable n ight there appeared in our ow n class a w ea lth o f talent w hich w as v e ry credibly displayed. U n til a late hour songs and speeches re-echoed through the hall proclaim ing the ardent spirit o f the class.

In the m id-year exam s, none o f our barks w ere w recked upon the obstructing boulders o f kn ow ledge in the stream o f learning, and w ith graduation as our goal w e set fo rth w ith rapid strokes.

In the annual p lay w e w ere w ell represented, h avin g fo u r o f our men in the cast, o f w hom w e are ju stly proud. It Was about this time that the opposing debating teams bowed in submission befo re the Ciceronian eloquence o f our young orators.

T h ree o f our members graced the basketball court and w e claim the distinction o f producing the captain.

T h e Petrean,, cu r quarterly paper is

now firm ly established and to Junior Prep

w e entrust the m ission to boost it to the skies.

A n d now the dream o f fo u r years had faded into a reality. G raduation has at last arrived. T h e friendships o f fo u r years m ust now be torn asunder. L et us heed the im m ortal w ords o f V ir g il “ S ic vo lvere P a rca s” and bear it w ith a stron g heart.

In class he w as both ju s t and e xa ct and is remembered by the w hole student body as such.

T o fo otball and basketball 2 -A contributed their share o f players; N a g le and M cL o u gh lin w ere both brilliant athletes.

N ear the end o f the first h a lf o f the term N a g le w as tran sferred to another class, where, it is hoped, they do justice to his ability.

M r. H ayden w as the class-teacher o f 2 -A throughout the entire school year and he proved to be an excellent instructor in second y ear m atter, tak in g especially into consideration the fa c t that he had the largest class in the school.

In Septem ber the C lass o f 24, Section B entered upon the second yea r o f their H ig h Sch ool course at St. P e te r’s, one w hich brought both jo y and so rrow to the hearts o f its lo y al members.

T h e so rrow cam e w hen M r. O ’N eil, S. J., one o f our beloved teachers, w ent to his rew ard in H eaven. H is sudden and unexpected death occasioned m uch regret and sadness, but though dead he is still remembered and prayed fo r. O u r jo y con­ sists in the feelin g that w e have contributed fa ir ly tow ard the upholding the athletic activities o f St. P e te r’s and have advanced in know ledge. ■ W e sensed a fee lin g o f pride a t the request o f the A th letic A sso ciation to take p art in the drive, fo r in doing so w e indirectly enabled them to produce a team w orth y o f the best traditions o f St. P e te r’s.

O u r fo otball team w as not as successful as w e hoped, yet it did us justice. O ur basketball team w as m ore fortunate, and in baseball w e are p utting fo rth a team ready to compete w ith any nine.

O u r class is also on p ar w ith other sections o f Second Y e a r in regard to intellec­ tual ability and sportsm anship. It is our one am bition to overcom e all obstacles alon g the road to graduation and at all times to advance the g lo ry o f St. P e te r’s. O u r debating team guided by our teacher, M r. O ’B rien is our ju stfu l boast. T h is has contributed g rea tly in developing our ab ility in the a rt o f public speaking.

W e now take this opportunity to extend our respectful and h eartfelt thanks to those teachers who have in any w a y endeavored to increase our know ledge and ability, assuring them that w e w ill fo llo w their principles and reap the profit o f their labor in our behalf.

T h e Second M id -Y e a r has m any loyal sons. M r. N a g le our president, besides being the leader o f our class in athletics, is also one o f the leaders o f the school.

T h e ath letic drive in w hich w e w on the class pennant is one o f our boasts.

We tender sincere thanks to M r. M eehan and M r. N a g le w ho made t h is . boast possible.

B u t that is not all. O u r class glories in an exp ert ball player, M r. A lex an d e r, w ho w ith the aid o f M r. M eehan put fo rth a w inn ing class nine. W e have not m any men in the class, fo r otir section is v e ry young, but as f a r as w e have gone into both sports and studies w e have proved our w orth beyond expectations. T hen, our support o f the m ite-box bespeaks our generosity.

In the basketball season there w as a lw ays a m a jo rity o f our class rooting fo r old St. P e te r’s. In later y ears this class w e are sure w ill become a class that St. P e te r’s can never fo rget, nor w ill they fo rg e t St. P e te r’s.

In tw o and a h a lf years from this term the class o f Second M id -Y e a r w ill probably meet fo r the last time, and w e hope that she w ill be as successful in future years as she has been thus far.

■I'n the affairs in w hich Second M id -Y e a r has thus fa r taken part she has shown h erself capable o f com peting w ith any classes in the school and by the tim e w e graduate w ith a fu ll St. P e te r’s course, w e w ill stand ready to defend the honor and g lo ry o f St. P e ter’s against all opponents.

A silver lovin g cup w ill remind the class o f that mem orable day.

F o rtu n ately everyone passed the m id-year exam inations, due to the ability o f the class and tireless efforts o f our teachers. A n ath letic d rive conducted during the first part o f M a rch showed the members o f this section keen in adhering to the traditions o f th e school.

John Bonnell, a product o f Sum mit, N . J., displayed excellen t salesmanship by disposing o f tw en ty books o f chances. W e also surpassed first y ear in the distribution o f chance books.

T h e baseball season brought m any recruits to the fron t, but o f them all a solitary member o f our class John E vers, gained the m uch-sought uniform .

T h e frien d ly intercourse between the class and the rest o f the school evinces the esteem in w hich the fello w s are held by their schoolmates.

Manresa Hall, the Grammar School, closed its doors a few years ago and until this year its classrooms were silent and cheerless. But now, its portals are open wide again, and its classrooms often re-echo with cheery voices. Not only has Manresa flung wide open its gate but it has taken on a new dignity. No longer is grammar school affixed to its charter since it now enjoys the distinction of being an Annex to the High School. Within its walls our young schoolmates who are just beginning their high school careers are learning the rudiments of Latin, Algebra, and English. Per­ haps a few words about Manresa’s past would be interesting to all.

As we trace the book of records, page after page, we finally come to July in nineteen hundred and five. At that time a residence on Summit Avenue near Montgomery Street was bought by the Faculty of St. Peter’s College.

On September the tenth of the same year Manresa Hall Grammar School was opened for the reception of students. On the first roll-call there were thirty names, thirty boys anxious for a Catholic School Train­ ing given by the Jesuits. The Reverend Father John Fox, S. J., was President and the genial Father Edward Brock, S. J., was named Head­ master. Military drill was one of the school’s distinguishing marks. Dur­ ing the following years many splendid drills and frequent appearances in parades gave proof of the efficient military training which the Manresa students received from Captain Higgins. The value of Manresa’s military training is at once apparent from a glance over the business and profes­ sional directories of our fair city.

The years flowed away; Manresa grew and prospered under Father Brock’s faithful guidance. However, in nineteen hundred and thirteen that beloved headmaster was succeeded by Reverend Thomas F. Graham, S. J., at present the esteemed President of St. Peter’s High School.

During the years nineteen hundred and nineteen and nineteen hundred and twenty Manresa Hall was closed because of the lack of teachers. But again on September the twelfth, nineteen hundred and twenty-one Manresa Hall was opened as an Annex to St. Peter’s High School. Four classes of first year were sent to Manresa with Father P. M. C o llin sw ^ ^ * a ?^ ic ^ Prefect. Father Collins labored for many years^gAat&rffiw Studies at St. Peter’s to make St. Peter’s a bigger aj^«^C etter college. His selfTear boys at Manresa has won the admiration, affection and respe^^f every student at St. Peter’s, but especially of his young proteges..

His teaching staff consist^® of Messrs. David J. Moran, S. J., Ray­ mond A. Coleman, James J^^Tumulty, and William A. Ward. On the sixth of November, Mr^lCard, who had already won the deepest respect and affection of his puj^is, died suddenly from an acute attack of indiges­ tion. His loss wasjijeenly felt by the students and by his fellow-profes-s'ors. Tb'v "’rano/caused by his premature death was filled by Mr. W il­ liam G. Timriey.

St. Peter’s has a journal! For years the need of some such paper has been keenly felt, but until the early part of this year no attempt has been made to fill the gap. The paper has proved itself a true mouthpiece of the school it represents.

The primary purpose of this little sheet was to form a link between the alumni, the graduates of yesteryear, and the flourishing St. Peter’s of to-day. It is put out by the students of St. Peter’s in an effort to build a firm bond between the present generation of St. Peter’s sons with the graduates of all ages scattered over the country.

From the first the paper was a success. In five months it doubled its size and its advertising. When we consider that this is the work of ama­ teurs, students who are new to this field of literature, the conclusion can­ not be avoided that they have learned wondrous quickly.

Yes, the P etrean has been an unquestioned success. It has awakened >in the heart of many an old “grad,” of the school he loved. tond memorfe. i ^aplished this and no more, the meed of success would . e PaP t~ \ be truly merited. But it . more. It has broadcasted. the doings *? of St. Peter’s students, in studies, dramatics, in athletics, m debate, in school spirit—in short in everything^interest. ™ entire ... paper has i_- been under tux direction of Mr. R.

tfrauiUnnn IJefastmg ihirirtg As in former years, debating has been a prominent activity at St. Peter’s. Our weekly debates were so successfully conducted, that soon we branched out and gave exhibition debates throughout the state, all bringing well-earned glory to the already honored name of St. Peter’s. Under the guidance of Mr. R. A. Hewitt, S. J., the Society has flourished, and it is due to his interest that our teams have proved themselves victorious. We record only the account of our two interscholastic debates.

SuirMiam Irhat?

Sweet was the taste of victory when, 011 the night of March 10th, the young orators of St. Peter’s were awarded an unanimous decision over their ancient rivals, Fordham Prep, in public debate. The debate was held in St. Peter’s Hall, on the question, “R esolved, that the Dyer-Volstead Anti-Lynching Bill is in accord with wise Federal Policy.” The affirma­ tive side of the bill was successfully defended by St. Peter’s, while Ford­ ham attacked the measure on the negative. Mr. Robert H. Doherty, 1911 , acting as Chairman of the debate, formally welcomed the boys from the Bronx to St. Peter’s.

For St. Peter’s, Messrs. Edward P. Looney, Charles Gannon and John Verdon left nothing to be desired in their presentation and logic.

Messrs. Sherlock, Rhinehart and McGann, representing Fordham, were conspicuously lacking in force.

The decision, made by secret ballot, was unanimous in favor of the affirmative. The judges of the debate were Hon. James A. Butler, A.B., L.L.B., Mr. Henry Snyder, A.B., A.M., Sc.D., and Dr. Thomas J. McGeary, A.B., M.D. The alternates of the debate were Mr. John J. Cashman for St. Peter’s and Mr. John E. Quinn for Fordham.

3£amer 0 i4iate The Beaudevin Debating Society of St. Peter’s was again victorious when, on the night of May 8th, they met and conquered the debating team of Xavier High School, New York. The debate was held in Xavier’s Auditorium. The question of the debate was, “R esolved, that the DyerVolstead Anti-Lynching Bill is in accord with wise Federal Policy.” On this occasion St. Peter’s supported the negative. Our representatives were Messrs. John J. Cashman, Charles Gannon and John Verdon. They proved the bill to be impractical and unconstitutional. Their delivery compelled the attention of the large audience. Xavier was represented by Messrs.

Charles McGroddy, Charles Downey and Charles Murphy. They also gave evidence of careful preparation, and offered stiff resistance to our debaters, but in rebuttal St. Peter’s boys drove home their points with a vim and vigor that would not be denied. The judges of the debate were Messrs. Harry S. Austin, L.L.D., William Butler, L.L.D., and Bernard Teeney, A.B.

Sramattra In dramatics this year, we departed from the type of last year’s play, as well as furtively steering clear of Shakespeare; but in our endeavor to avoid the sensational of the modern and the tragedic in the Avon bard, we went to the other extreme, beyond the Elizabethan period, back almost to the Middle Ages. The Dramatic Society chose for its offering: “In the Fool’s Bauble,” by Rev. John D. McCarthy, a play considered by professional coaches as one of the best suited pieces for a non-coed institu­ tion. A short description of the play and results of our endeavors will not be malapropos of these pages.

“In the Fool’s Bauble” is a story of Christian Chivalry in Provene, when that happy land was ruled by “Good Rene,” a royal host to Chevalier and troubadour who himself fed on the songs of their lyres. In parentheses, John Loftus played Rene and proved by his clever fainting spell that inanition is bound to follow such an unsubstantial diet. Catholic from its very concept, the plot was woven about a young Count desirous of doffing the sword and donning a monk’s habit. John Slane, as cleverly as last year, played the part. Of course, the hero is thwarted by an ambitious vil­ lain prone to cursing and what not. This role fell to H. Clifford Clarke and was well portrayed, except for the undesirable oaths whose lack of force led us to conclude that they are not in Clifford’s working vocabulary. The plot is scented and severed in twain by the Court Jester. John Cullum played the fool, though the old wrinkles unwonted to antidate the beard have not come as yet. His heady laughs still echo in the Hall.

The merriment of the play is almost confined to the foppish assign­ ment of Florimond de Bellefontaine, a part requiring acting clever enough as not to appeal too natural to its deft interpreter.' After many mis­ givings as to a suitable player, the Moderator, Mr. L. J. Gilleran, S. J., found the man in James Daly, ’22. James wielded the lace handkerchief and lorgnette as naturally as a dame' of twice his years and experience.

Every step and supercillious look from Daly boomed the play and brought Nor would Joseph Cullum’s talents allow themselves to be hidden under a minor part, but proved an inverse ratio to his three lines in Francois, the twelve-year-old servant to old Gaspar, an inn-keeper.

John Verdon, said dispenser of spirits, crooked his back and stiffened his gait as one four-score and ten plus his own age. As partner to the hero, and abettor to the villain, Clement O’Sullivan and James McManus respectively, merited their applause.

Taking a rapid survey of this year’s histrionic endeavor, we congrat­ ulate all upon their achievement. The play was one that lacked neither the laughs of comedy, nor the sword-drawing of dueling days. Music written especially for its court scenes and hunting escapades, lent an air of the popular musical productions, while its plot, composition and elevating dic­ tion placed it among the truly classical productions. We pay “The Fool’s Bauble” a high compliment when we say that it was decidedly not a modern drama. Onward, ye Thespians of 1923, and surpass even the success of our Senior play.

(Shtr (frrltpHtra The glory of the Maroon and White reached its zenith through the culminating successes of its student activities, and in no small degree has that glory been attained by the contribution of the orchestra endeavor.

Music has always held a large and lively interest in the hearts of St. Peter’s happy and joy-loving youths, and it was to further cultivate and retain this interest that our musical organization began to function.

With Mr. Leo J. Gilleran, S. J., as a capable Moderator, and with the ever faithful Director, Prof. Joseph B. Ferry, the orchestra launched upon what promised to be a successful voyage toward its accustomed des­ tination. Faithful to their routine of Tuesday practice, the members were able to regale with their motifs the joint conference of the Holy Name Societies at St. Joseph’s Hall, early in the fall season of last year. The orchestra began to take shape.

Later, during the winter, at an exhibition debate in Hoboken, the hall of Our Lady of Grace reverberated with chords of encouragement to the contestants from their comrades in the pit; and the musical squad itself received applause in return. It would be unfair not to mention, as well, the added pleasure offered by this organization at the Fordham rostravistory. But these few performances, together with that at the Elocution Contest, are all we heard; and we are led to make our only adverse criti­ cism of the orchestra: we did not hear it often enough. In quest of an explanation, we probed the causes. They are two.

The first is obvious and, we suppose, unavoidable in America; namely, that if music interfere with athletics, throw out the music. As sensible— from a physical standpoint—and common as this is, it nevertheless can not make for musical success. The second reason is as tangible as it is remediable; it lies in our musicians themselves. St. Peter’s, we understand, is not devoid of musical talent, as far as talent goes; but there is a dearth of talent for St. Peter’s interests. If this more cultural attainment had its swam of clamoring aspirants, as has the ball-field—and many of our high schools have such, we would not learn that our orchestra, towards the end of the season, dwindled into almost dissolution. This, of course, if true, is lamentable. St. Peter’s holds two championship honors in foot­ ball ; is second to none, perhaps, in baseball; while debating at our ag^ol is traditionally unparalleled. The C e p h e a n of 1922 would leave the sug­ gestion that those who are so gifted as to make our musical success a reality, should feel with the school-spirit flowing in their veins, that their particular duty towards the school lies in this sphere of activity. May the graduates of 1922 return some time and hear again old familiar strains from the orchestra augmented to a more representative number.

The Senior Sodality under the invocation of the Immaculate Con­ ception of the Blessed Mother comprises a number of faithful members from Third and Fourth Years, The sodalists meet in the chapel every Tuesday morning before class in order to render due honor and reverence to the Mother of God. The office of the Sodality is recited and the Rev­ erend Moderator renders a short but impressive talk. As sodalists they are encouraged to promote devotion to the Blessed Mother and thereby not only honoring Her but also paying homage to God Himself.

Although many find it difficult to attend the service at such an early hour, yet they overcome it and make the sacrifice for the love of the Mother of God. Throughout the year the little chapel was fairly well occupied every Tuesday morning. Before the close of the year a reception of those members who have undergone the required probation, will take place. A sodality is indeed a spiritual treasury wherein the faithful mem­ bers place their prayers, which will not only be useful for their present state of life but also indispensable for their future pilgrimage of life.

The Officers of Senior Sodality : Director, The Reverend Father Gregory Kiehne, S. J. Prefect, Leo McManus; Assistants, Seton Gillen, John Cashman Sacristan, Charles Cannon Organist, James Daly

Junior “More things are wrought by prayer, than the world dreams of.”

Little indeed may the world think of the potentiality of prayer, but God, Our Greatest Benefactor, will amply reward our merits. Every Wednes­ day at eight-thirty in the morning the chapel is filled with faithful devotees of the Junior Sodality, who come to pay due honor to our Blessed Mother.

The office of our Lady is recited in common, usually followed by a brief talk given by the Director. The sodalists are exhorted to increase and spread the devotion of our Blessed Mother, who will be ever mindful of their zeal and will intercede for them before Her Son. Despite the incon­ venience of rising with the sun in order to arrive in time in any kind of weather the members have faithfully attended every meeting of their Sodality. Very few missed even one service and they certainly deserve to be congratulated for their meritorious efforts. Under the careful super­ vision of Mr. Conroy, S. J., the membership of the Sodality exceeded that of other years and no doubt the next year will witness even a greater enrollment. The Junior Sodality is composed of members from First and Second Years. A solemn reception of members will be held before the end of the year.

The Officers of Junior Sodality: Director, Mr. James W. Conroy, S. J. Prefect, Thomas P. Ward, ’24 Sacristan, Kenneth Close, ’24

E a r ly in Septem ber the boys o f St. P e te r’s looked fo rw a rd to a strenuous and busy season on the grid iro n h av­ in g a schedule arran ged to meet the hardest and strongest prep elevens that w ere ever included in one schedule.

A lth o u g h they anticipated a w inning team, they little hoped fo r the g lo r­ ious victories w hich they achieved by their brilliant and gam e fighting. In fa c t it proved to be one o f the best fo otball elevens that ever represented the M aroon and W h ite on the g rid ­ iron.

T h ree championships (city, county, State Sch olastic C ath o lic) ; nine v ic ­ tories and tw o defeats, is the record o f these w arrio rs and an enviable rec­ ord it is.

T h e V a rs ity inaugurated the sea­ son w ith a gam e against U p sala C o l­ lege. T h e splendid line plunging and backfield m aneuvers o f the men re­ sulted in a v ic to ry over the boys from K en ilw o rth w ith a score o f 26-6.

T h e gam e w ith C liff side w as a stubbornly contested affair.

D espite w eather conditions they succeeded in conquering the hitherto undefeated team b y 7-3.

T h e y suffered their first defeat w hen they m et the heavy P aterson team. T h is b u rly eleven nosed them out (14 -13 ) despite the desperate defen sive football w hich the V a r s ity displayed.

W ith five regu lars m issing fro m the line-up and the luck' o f the fates against them the M aroon and W h ite bowed to B ro o k lyn P rep (13 -0 ). Undaunted, however, they proved their m ettle in the fa ce o f such overw helm ing odds.

H o w ever, the P rep sters came back stron g and subdued in quick succession, E m e r­ son, C a rlto n A cadem y, L in coln H ig h and C lason Point. “ R even ge is s w e e t!” T h ese w ords w ere on the lips o f a ll St. P e ter’s rooters w hen the final w histle found the P rep boys a 13-7 w inner o ver their old-tim e rival D ickinson H ig h School. T h e gam e w as replete w ith th rills and both factions seemed im m ovable and unyielding until the “ Irish ” o f the M aroon and W h ite go t the best o f them. F o r w h at team could stand up against their slaughtering attack once they become imbued w ith this spirit.

T h e best o f things are usually saved until last. S o it proved in the Benedict’sSt. P e te r’s gam e w hich decided the C atholic State Championship. T h e gam e w as the best o f the season and by fa r the m ost interesting. T h e G ra y Bees scored first but the P rep sters cam e back stron gly, startin g an irresistible m arch dow n the field w hich resulted in a touchdown. T h e gam e ended w ith the score 6-3 in our favor.

C oach H u g h D o h erty is filled w ith pride and satisfaction at the superb accom ­ plishments o f his championship gridironers. It is only the men them selves w ho know and realize how m uch o f their success is due to the tireless efforts o f their coach.

I'n the allo tin g o f the spoils o f conflict he surely deserves the la rger portion o f it and n ext y ear under his s k illfu l and m asterful guidance the St. P eter’s team w ill undoubtedly enjoy a season ju st as crow ded w ith victories and championships as this season w as.

iSaakrtball At the termination of a most successful football season the Peterites turned their eyes on the approaching season of basketball.

Coach Doherty reduced a large squad to ten capable men: Anthony Keane, who captained the team; J. McLaughlin, J. Baldwin, A. Cashman, J. O’Keeffe, E. Griffin, W. Verdon, C. Delehey, F. Geraghty, and J. Slane.

In its initial contest against Cathedral Prep, the Varsity was victorious by the score of 36- 18 . O’Keeffe and Keane featured the game with spec­ tacular shots.

On December the twenty-eighth we encountered the Alumni.

The Alumni boasted of such stars as Sweeney and Brogan of George­ town; Quinn, of Seton H all; Hoffman, of Fordham, and Isbister. Never­ theless, they were overwhelmed by the strong Prep team ( 42- 16 ).

McLaughlin and Keane scintillated for the Prep while Sweeney proved the bright light for the Alumni.

Next came our ancient antagonist Hoboken High who accomplished the unexpected. We were giving them a very good game up until the last six minutes when Captain Keane was seriously injured. An injury which kept him out for the remainder of the year. Keane’s absence caused the passwork to upset itself and as a result we went down nobly to defeat by a score which by no means indicates the closeness of the struggle 42-27 .

The score at half time was 14-13 in Hoboken’s favor.

We then clashed with Fordham and after battling away for forty minutes the contest resulted in a deadlock, 30 all.

With the return of Slane we again began to locate ourselves winning in a most decided manner from Perth Amboy to the tune of 49-2 1 . This consistency continued and we administered a severe trouncing to Emerson in a second game 34-16 on our own court.

One of the most interesting games of the season was the one with St. Benedict’s of Newark. It was nip and tuck all the way through. The winner was undecided until the last minute of play when O’Neill, of the Gray Bees, shot a pretty field goal which ended the event. The tally was 48-49 . O’Keeffe was St. Peter’s individual star with seven field goals.

Avenging the defeat which we suffered earlier in the season we frus­ trated the attempts of Xavier Prep on their own court 55-31 . The Regis Five were our next victims conquering them by a score of 32- 18 .

The only thing that marred the excellence of the, season was the shameful manner in which St. Peter’s were treated in the State Tourna­ ment. It certainly was a most dishonorable and unjust act on somebody’s part, for there was no team more qualified and worthy of recognition than the Maroon and White of the year of twenty-two.

la a p fo tU After such successful seasons on both the gridiron and court there was no alternative but for the baseball nine to continue the good work.

And it is not only likely that they will maintain that dignity, but will eclipse it for it has been stealthily rumored about that the boys of the St. Peter’s Prep nine have a championship team this year. And so it is very probable that they will flaunt the State Championship Banner at the end of the year.

In whirlwind fashion the Maroon and White commenced the season on nineteen hundred and twenty-two by defeating West New York High by the score of 7 - 3 . Although the day was more suitable for a football game, the boys showed some fine playing.

A few days later the Prepsters bowed in humble submission to St. Benedict’s of Newark. The game was very close and victory belonged to either side until the seventh inning when the “Gray Bees” broke loose and ran up the score. The final tally 11 -4 .

With “Ken” Jones hurling a four-hit game the team returned to the games—won column by taming Hoboken High 7 -2 . Jones also struck out sixteen batsmen. His mates wielded the stick effectively and accorded support afield. Captain Murtagh clouted a triple and a double while Slane, Geraghty and Evers each touched the opposing twirler for doubles.

The succeeding Saturday the Varsity traveled to Asbury Park where they outslugged the Asbury Park High School team by the score 13-8.

Johnny Slane had a great day at the bat connecting for a home run with the bases full and four singles.

“Old Man Jinx” must have surely camped on our trail this year. He had taken out our both captains in football and in basketball and now it seems as if he persisted in following, for in this Asbury Park game Captain George Murtagh’s ankle was broken while sliding into second base.

This puts him out for the remainder of the season and leaves him look­ ing on and fretting with anxiety to be beside his teammates.

The Prepsters continued their batting rampage in the next game and handed their Jesuit rivals, Xavier High School a terrific walloping. They slugged the opposing pitchers for thirteen hits, two of which were homers.

Thus could we go on enumerating the tilts in which our boys engaged, but space does not permit us to record all their triumphs. They have ■worked hard, they have yielded themselves into the hands of their coach and friend, and the pride we take in them springs from their constant endeavor, and true sportsmanship.
