REV. MARTIN A. SCHMITT, S.J. Instructor, Fourth Year

DEDICATION Twenty years of one’s life is a notable contribution to Catholic Secondary Education. When these years are spent entirely in classroom teaching, after a course of study that fits for posts higher in men’s esteem, they spell two decades of self-effacing toil and consecration to the cause of youth.

This is the record of Fr. Martin A.

Schmitt, S.J., Senior Instructor in Latin and GreekThirteen of these twenty years Father Schmitt has spent at St. Peter’s and each year brings expressions of gratitude from former students that while at the Prep, they “had” Father Schmitt.

The Class of 1936 have profited by Father Schmitt’s rich experience, deep knowledge and teaching skill in his twentieth year of classroom labor, and as an appreciation of his service to them and to St. Peter’s, they are happy to dedicate to him, this, their Book of Memories.

FOREWORD Four years at St. Peter’s are over; four years of never ending variety, days of toil and laughter, days of exciting activities and new fields of knowledge.

Some of them

were tinged by a bit of sorrow but these were the happier for their successful finish. All have gone together, piece by piece, to rear the intricate edifice of our education.

Here we formed the first bonds of friendship that were to grow as the years rolled on, friendships that will ever be cherished, ’though our paths lie far apart.

Now as we stand on the threshold of new fields of endeavor, we like to gaze back on the task we have completed; but we find that we are still standing too close to appreciate it in its entirety.

Only as the years

roll on and we view our four years’ work against the background of our lives, shall we know its true value.

To assist us in this pleasant task of appraisal at a later date, we have composed, by pen and by photograph, this short yet treasured history of our four years at St. Peter’s.

CLASS HISTORY F E B R U A R Y G RAD UA TES T )A U S IN G for a moment amidst our never ending maelstrom of studies and activities, we see the curtain of time descending on another act of the drama of life, as our “Prep� school career draws slowly to a close.

And while we continue to gaze intently, the events of these four earnest, yet happy years, present themselves before us. T o the upper classmen February, 1932, was merely the beginning of a new term, but to about fifty nervous youngsters, it was the most important event of their young lives. All were plebes in a vast army, and eagerly they looked forward to the first assault on the walled city of knowledge.

We drew as our first leaders: Mr. Sturtzer, S.J. who guided us through the memoirs of the ancients and Mr. K elty and Mr. McVann under whose guidance we successfully maneuvered over the rough paths of Latin and Algebra. Our first term was brought to a happy close when all passed their examinations and were let free for the vacations.

September brought us together again and during this year those bonds of friendship, formed when we first met, were further strengthened. Under the command of Mr. Wallace and Mr. Lester we assailed the elements of Latin and Algebra and the better part of English Literature. And now as we look back upon those happy, carefree days, when we, Freshmen, first struggled together, side by side in youthful endeavor, we know that our leaders did their assignment well.

With the help of our new generals, Mr. Jordan and Mr. Griffin, we sailed with the Argonauts on their adventures and managed to assist our forefathers in their fight for liberty. Mr. McGill introduced us to the mysteries of nature while Mr. Mullen guided us safely into the promised land of Greek culture. N o t content with these conquests we started Fourteen

PETREAN our assaults with Caesar which were only brought to a close by the ex­ aminations and vacation time.

After a three months leave of absence we were recalled to camp to continue our attacks with Caesar. After a tough grind, beset with fierce combats, which threatened to destroy us entirely, our newly appointed major, Mr. Duffy, finally pushed us on to victory. Mr. O’Sullivan helped us greatly in acquiring a knowledge of our modern Civics. It was here too that our m ighty classm ates went in search of athletic and dramatic glory and obtained great success. Proceeding on into third year we were met by our new commanders, Mr. M clnerney, Mr. Guterl and Mr. M artino. T hey succeeded in bettering our compositions and introduced us to Cicero and his orations. W e accompanied Ovid in his poems and were taught to pronounce Spanish by Mr. Collins. We were again given our release for the summer months after a hectic outing and successful examinations.

W ith Father Schmitt we were guests of Cyrus at his palace in Greece, and were only prevented from blowing up the school by the vigilance of Mr. Martino. During our leave Mr. Collins had been replaced in com­ mand of our Spanish class by Mr. Cullen, who performed the task exceptionally well. Mr. Guterl taught us the various angles of Geometry and we drew nearer our goal.

The Fourth and last year in the history of the M id-Year Class of ’36, has been one of much hard labor, and little resting by the wayside. Under the guidance of Mr. M ullen we were ready to use the “logs” of Trigon­ ometry. Mr. O’Mara, S. J. aided us in our travels with Aeneas as Mr. Guterl introduced us to L ’Allegro. Soon the examinations reached us and after completing and passing these we enjoyed the school outing to Bear Mountain.

In September, we returned for the last term of our school career at St. Peter’s. Under the guardianship of our newly appointed generals we set out to our final test. Mr. Quevedo guided us through the Underworld and our travels with Aeneas. T o Mr. Duffy goes the credit of putting the final polish to our English while Mr. Cullen brought Zaraguita into our lives. Our French General Mr. O’Sullivan assured us of our French success. The mysteries of ions and protons were explained to us by Mr. M cGill while Father Butler explained the intricacies of our religion.

Basking in the sunshine of Seniorship we decided upon some badge befitting and denoting our rank, and from many samples we finally selected a ring which the class decided to keep as a token of graduation.

A great part of the school spotlight was claimed by our class and to the athletes, dramatists, debaters, School journalists and Petrean artists who did their part to insure this success, we are indeed grateful.

Before closing we have a word to say: To all our prefects and teachers in general, and to each one individually, we are sincerely indebted for the noble standards set before us. We thank all and hope that the years to come will bear out their teachings in our lives.

To Mr. M yers, Mr. Cannella, Mr. King and Mr. Quevedo we extend congratulations for the successful athletic teams which they have given us to cheer and for the high standard of sportsmanship and fair play which they represented.

CLASS HISTORY S the end of our four happy eventful years draws near and we leave behind the scenes of so many memorable events, we are thankful for the opportunity to record in our P e t r e a n the history of the class of 4-A. W e cannot take with us the actual scenes of our H igh School course and, lest the memory of them be clouded by the vicissitudes of our new courses in life, we do the best we can and record by pen and photo the highlights of four years.

Our imagination quickly turns back the pages of time and once again we see ourselves embarking upon a long voyage in a new and unfamiliar ship; a group of mere Freshmen gazing wonderingly about us as though we were thrust into some foreign country without guide or friend. Once under the care of the Jesuits and laymen however, we soon forget our surroundings and begin to concentrate upon the hazards presented by Latin and Algebra. Ah! H ow it all comes back to us now :— the first day in the classroom, with strange faces all about; the sternness of the Jesuits and laymen; the scholarly seniors, sophisticated Juniors, and egotistical Sophomores. Who does not recall the sad moments spent in “Jug” ; the happy moments frolicking about the “campus” ; the assemblies in the hall and the pleasures derived from outside activities. B ut school was not all play. N o indeed! There was work to be done and work we did under the care of Mr. D oyle, S.J., Mr. Griffin, and Mr. Jordan. These men formed for us a solid foundation for all our future learning. In spite of this work, we enjoyed many happy moments in the classroom.

Then, lo! Out of a cloudless sky there dropped a terrific storm in the form of mid-year examinations. It struck with the swiftness of lightning, \

Seventeen

1936

PETREAN catching many unawares. For days it raged causing us much worry and fear. W hen the tem pest subsided, we were a battered wreck but much more confident, wise and experienced. The second milestone of our journey was more pleasant and passed much more quickly since we were no longer strangers. W e began to mingle with other students, to fight with the Sophomores who constantly endeavored to discontinue our hand­ ball games by pilfering our handballs, to engage in interclass athletics and to compete in interclass debates. At the end of this term there was another obstacle to overcome, the Province Examinations. This cruel monster took more of our comrades from us but left those who survived a happy three months vacation. H ow ready we were to receive this breathing spell from the hard struggle which had fatigued us. W hat pleasure the very thought of our achievements afforded us; the fact that we had successfully completed our initial year. N ear the end of this vacation, death struck a sad keynote in this song of merriment for it took from us our classm ate, Raym ond Rummel, a serious student and loyal friend. H is death cast a dark shadow over us and somewhat dampened our enthusiasm as we m et for the second year.

In this year we had the misfortune to be divided, for some decided to delve into the life of insects while others chose to unravel the difficulties of the Greek language. H ow confident and cocksure we were, for at that time we were informed that we had won first place in the province exams of our year. Our teachers perceived this over-confidence, realized the dangers that might ensue from it, and warned us beforehand. But surely nothing would happen to us. W e were smart!

D id not the Province examinations prove that? And so with this attitude it was that we went through the first half year forgetting the proverb: “A word to the wise is sufficient”, and performing our work carelessly and haphazardly.

As usual the mid-year examinations rolled around again and what disaster befell us this time? W e fell far below our standard, lost much prestige, and admiration. We received the “I told you so” from our teachers and for the remainder of the year we went about like beaten puppies receiving the jeers of fellow students. Our heads had been deflated. We had been drawn from the lofty clouds. Nevertheless, under the careful tutelage of our teachers, we came back in the province examinations with colors flying and emerged victorious in a Latin vocabulary contest held for all second year classes. Therefore we wish to express our deep appreciation to Fr. Purcell, S.J., Mr. K elty, Mr. Mullen, Mr. Rooney, and Mr. Collins for the help they rendered us, which alone enabled us to redeem ourselves.

Besides these scholastic achievements, we won glory for ourselves upon the athletic field. It was in this year that we won the treasured school basketball and indoor-baseball championships and St. Peter’s won the state football crown. W hat sweeter music was there than the thud of pigskin meeting leather, the swishing of basketball nets or the sharp crack of ball upon bat as St. Peter’s and 2-B swept along to victory. But now that we had covered half of our journey, we carried our belongings to the Senior Building across the yard.

A less frivolous and more determined class was 4-A when we began our third year at St. Peter’s, for we found before us the way across mountains and valleys with Xenophon and his ten thousand soldiers, the fiery and Eighteen

1936

PETREAN dynam ic speeches of Cicero, and the vivid and imaginative poems of Ovid.

Besides this we had to master the English of Shakespeare and learn all the angles of Geometry. This was a huge task indeed and it is with the utmost sincerity that we extend our thanks to the Jesuits and laym en whose wonderful patience and zeal helped to overcome these difficulties. This work however did not mar the pleasures of school. There were many eventful nights when we attended debates, plays or basketball games, and days when w e witnessed football or baseball games. N o one, I am sure, has forgotten the satirical humor of Mr. Quevedo, S.J., the delightful stories of Mr. Orthen, the excellent jokes of Mr. Duffy, or the pleasant humor of Mr. M adden. W ho does not remember the pranks we tried to play on them and how we always turned out to be the goat? Who cannot recall the school out'ing held annually in June with the picturesque ride up the lordly Hudson? W ho has forgotten the puns that we uttered in the classroom and the long “jug list” that resulted? Although this year proved to be the m ost difficult, although at times we were discouraged and had the desire to quit, nevertheless at the end it left us with m any cherished memories of happy moments spent in the classroom, the bookstore, the lunchroom, and the P e t r e a n office, it strengthened us and afforded a strong will to do better next year.

In September of the year nineteen hundred and thirty-five, we were once more assembled, this time for the last. A much smaller crew it was now as compared to the one which started the voyage four years ago. B ut it was a more select group consisting of quality rather than quantity, one which had successfully weathered the initial hardships and was prepared to encounter those to come. W ith Fr. Schmitt, S.J., at the helm, we re­ traced the course of the wandering Aeneas, fought against barbarian tribes with the army of Xenophon, and witnessed the downfall of Troy so vividly described by the ancient poet Vergil. Mr. K elty with his jolly humor made French periods very pleasant, and Mr. M cHugh, S.J., enriched us with a knowledge of German, while Mr. Guterl guided us through the mazes of exposition and argumentation and unfolded the literary glories of the Eng­ lish masters. Almost too quickly we were in the second term of our last year at St. Peter’s. The port of graduation was now in sight. Swifter and swifter the days passed by taking along with them unforgettable memories of times spent in the classroom and about the buildings. Undergraduate night, final exams, Senior retreat and graduation seemed to come one on top of the other. N ow as we go forward to conquer other lands we have in our hearts a deep appreciation for the cooperation and zeal of the Jesuits and laymen who helped us to complete the journey and afforded us a solid Catholic foundation, one such as only St. Peter’s can give. Thus do we thank them sincerely and whole-heartedly. N ow as the time comes for us to depart from these cherished buildings, words seem to fail us. A lump rises in our throats and tears dim our vision as we bid farewell to all that is dear to us. In leaving we wish to say: “M ay St. Peter’s continue forever and may its wonderful Faculty likewise continue to have God’s blessing.”

CONQUERING WARRIORS 4-B PROLOGUE ' | 'H IR T Y -F O U R youths, in blue serge coats and knickers, with ribboned

diplomas, sat nervously upon the graduation platforms of as many N ew Jersey schools. Eight years of grammar school, sometimes dull, sometimes gay, had slow ly unrolled and rerolled before them. Their carefree hearts now looked for new, untasted worlds to conquer. During the summer vaca­ tion after graduation, St. Peter’s was ever a constant object of their dreams, hopes and wonderment.

C h apter I

At last the fated day arrived. T hey were now enrolled beneath the green freshman banner. Soon they took their new life in stride. Boldly they fought back at the bullying sophomores, and they battled more strongly than any succeeding generation of freshmen has ever yet. These lads helped fill the ranks of our athletic teams, and their strength and spirit produced for the Prep, champion, All-State teams. Others, more intellectually inclined, won honors in scholarship, in the drama, and in the debating hall. Like the Yanks in the Argonne forest, they faced the withering fire of examinations and passed on. One year was fought and conquered.

C h a p t e r II

For those who had worked and persevered a fine groundwork had been laid in first year. The rudiments of Latin and Algebra, so ably taught now laid open wide vistas for new, further adventure and exploit. Blessed with imagination we made a thousand stirring marches with Caesar through

PETREAN primitive Gaul. W e advanced further through the fascinating intricacies of Algebra. A t this time too the oriental-like characters of Greek were set before our eyes. Although we enjoyed all this new work, nevertheless there was a tremendous amount of studying involved, and there was a necessary curtailment of our budding social activities. D a y after day of school, autumn, winter, spring and incipient summer— games in the school yard— rousing football on sharp autumn Saturdays— whirling basketball through sleepy eyes on winter evenings— simple soul-moving baseball on the moist springy turf of spring!

C h a p t e r III W e entered another term of school. W hat changes time wrought!

Knickers were now a curiosity. W hat is this downy thistle on their cheeks?

H ow their youthful frames have stretched up and broadened! Faster than we needed we sought the burden of manhood. Before our changing voices ceased to crack, we were strolling about in imitation of the senseless dignity and pomp of men. T oo eagerly we forsook our boyish games and pleasures for the habits and the society of the elders. In Junior year the terrorstricken awe for our teachers suddenly vanished, and a series of wild pranks and boisterous banter left us weak with laughter and our teachers a few gray hairs. W e formed a speaking acquaintance (one w ay) with Mr. Xenophon and Cicero and a fellow named Ovid. Also we became proficient with our “parlay voos” and sometimes peered within the un­ familiar covers of our geometry books. For the third time we charged that old enemy, Province Examinations, or rather it charged us, and we scraped through.

C h a p t e r IV This is the last and best chapter of the “conquering warriors.” Three years and a few more months have gone by, and the thirty-four young men are now seniors. All the grimy smoke of the hectic battle has cleared away. Thirty-four sterling fellows and everyone a true friend. In foot­ ball— with three of our sturdy lads the bulwarks of the team; dramatics— with two truly great actors of our class taking prominent parts; basketball — we take great pride in our fine center; track— the fleet-footed captains come from among us; Scholastics— we have a group of the finest minds in the school; spirit and good fellowship— all I can say of this is “priceless and incomparable”— what more can mortal youths possess? Even now as these words are being written we are on the final stretch. Sometimes when we rest for a few brief moments from our ceaseless grind and toil, we dream of the final joys and glories to come— of the hysterical joy when we toss our high school text books aside for good— of the sweet peace and comfort of our last retreat— of the happy day of the school outing and finally of the crowning joy— graduation.

E p il o g u e

The most fitting close to this story would be an honor roll of the teachers who have made success a possibility and an actuality for the “conquering warriors.” This roll will be found at the beginning of the book, for every member of the faculty, during our four years assisted in the great work— for ourselves we can only thank them from the bottoms of our hearts and pray that God will reward them in H is own wise way.

' I 'H O UG H by now you are probably bored with class histories, gracious reader, take heart, rouse up your courage and endeavor to struggle through this, the last of the lot. Four-M was great, 4-A masterful, 4-B superb, but the saga of 4-C is magnificent, glorious and sublime. W ith this in mind wipe off the specs, light up the meerschaum, settle back in the easy chair and read: The first two years are a little hazy. Far back in September, 1932, a group of innocent lads trouped into the assem bly hall and attempted unsuccessfully to act nonchalantly. They, of course, were we. That was the beginning of our experiences as Petreans. W e very speedily learned that freshmen were considered ten degrees lower than zero— Absolute zero, if you please. Much against our will, the bane of four years, Latin, was introduced to us. And we must not forget to mention those happy days spent in “jug,” especially Saturday “jug.” But thanks to our determina­ tion and the unselfish devotion of our teachers, these hurdles were finally overcome and we faced our first vacation as full-fledged “Prepsters.”

Fall saw us back again in the now familiar and well beloved corridors of the dear old pile, full of pep, vim and vigor and ready for a tussel with the books. It took just about two weeks of Latin, Algebra and Biology to chill this ardor of ours, and another long school year was on its way. Extra curricular activities began taking up our spare time now, and with repre­ sentatives in Football, Basketball, Baseball and Debating, we made quite a commendable showing. Even in the Drama we were represented. In the play “Tom Sawyer,” one of our members, the illustrious “Apples” Kearney, took the part of the retreating footsteps backstage or something like that.

So the second year went by.

Though a few were tripped by the Province Examinations, the great majority of us handled them with ease and before we knew it we had beTwenty-two

1936

PETREAN come Juniors. H itherto, we had thought our studies to be hard but now we began to see what an easy task they had been. W hy Cicero was so hard that many of us were tempted to use “trots.”

At last we embarked on the final lap of our journey. A t last we were Seniors, serene and sophisticated, ready to cope with any eventuality. Three long years of arduous work were behind us. Ahead of us was but one short year, then finally the secret ambition and cherished goal of everyone— graduation.

Our new quarters for our final year’s endeavors was the 4-C classroom far removed from the bustle and noise of Grand Street. Here we were first introduced to m any new teachers— for Latin and English we were entrusted to the care of M r.-Q uevedo, S.J. For the first time we were introduced and captivated by the political intrigues of ancient Rome and to our amazement we saw and not only heard that history repeats itself. The financial market of ancient Rom e was as vivid before our minds as the present day stock exchange. In English the essentials of true patriotism were discussed pro and con and finally under the magic pen of Newman we drifted to the very throne of God. Allegro was a m ystery to us and still is.

In the realm of Physics 4C was seen at its best and the abstract laws of nature together with their applications were gradually unfolded before our eyes. In M ath we could not agree and some yielded to “Problems of Dem ocracy” in favor of the intricacies of sines and tangents. For modern language we again parted ways but even these brief separations and dif­ ferences of taste could not weaken the solid bonds of friendship ^t&at held us together.

Thoughout the course of the year we noticed that our difficulties became fewer and fewer whether it was due to the skillful presentation of our teachers, or to the stimulus of having only one more year to go, or perhaps it was that three years training according to the principles of the “Ratio Studiorum” had finally begun to show positive results in the ex­ pansion of our intellects. And, at the risk of being boresome, I must again sing the praises of 4C athletes. Outstanding in the 1935 football season were “W oody” English, Co-Captain of the team, our All-County end, Bob Van Bemmel and “Jim m y” Driscoll, an outstanding guard. Three of us have become varsity basketball players and in spite of the handicap of losing some of the best men, our class basketball team has won every game to date and it is a foregone conclusion that we will again repeat as cham­ pions of the school.

And so, as we gaze back on our four years, we find to our surprise that out of seeming chaos has come order. The seeds that were first sown in our early days have begun to bear fruit. N ew worlds of thought, new hopes and aspirations are unfolded before us. We have spent many happy hours together and the few moments of sadness we may have experienced have long been forgotten. We are now at the final parting of the way— some of us may not meet again for years and the sadness of departure is compensated only by the thought that it is better to have known and lost than never to have known. Though our ways be many and varied we feel that in the hearts of all, the memories of 4C will live forever and grow more precious with the passing of the years.

“Joe,” just as the North Star, never wavers, nor leaves his one position. He is staunch, never swaying in adver­ sity and meeting every rebuff with that invincible courage with which he is endowed. Just as the North Star is ever in readiness to guide the wanderer or the lost, so too “Joe” remains ever willing to lend a hand of assistance to his classmates, to lead them out of the darkness of despaii and failure, and to guide them on the sea of life. “Joe” can not only be depended upon to raise the scholastic rating of his class and school, but also he is ever ready to take to the field in aiding his class to triumph upon the court of inter-class athletics.

In his course at the Prep, “Tom” has been a model for any high school student. He was always foremost in his class, in sports and in forensic activities. His studies ex­ emplify the intellect of a diligent scholar. In football we still remember the “Tiny Tom,” who replaced “Big Tom” Ormsby in the Dickinson game of nineteen hundred thirty-three and who battled so desperately to stem the tide. In outside activity we readily recall the rhetoric, emotion and the logic of his orations. It is our sincere wish that “Tom” may continue to enjoy the same success as he goes forth from the portals of St. Peter’s.

“Chic” came to us four years ago, a quiet, unassuming chap with a cheery smile on his face and ready for work.

In these past four years “Chic” has always been worthy of being called a loyal Petrean. Whether in defeat or victory he would always be seen lending an encouraging word of kindness and thoughtfulness to his school team.

His soft, earnest voice and his hearty congeniality made him a very enjoyable companion. It has been a pleasure knowing him four years and we sincerely hope that his future will be full of brightness and success.

Among Austin’s most prized possessions is his education.

St. Peter’s is indeed proud to admit that it has trained him both mentally and physically. And he is likewise proud of St. Peter’s where he has spent four very im­ portant years of his life. In this short time, in addition to the education he received, he developed the will to win which, coupled with the *education he has received, will raise him a degree higher than many other educated men, a degree which separates famous men from merely successful men.

To write a short sketch of “Bozzie” is no easy task, for much may be said of his activities and his lovable vir­ tues. He is a true gentleman, a scholar and a companion whose friendship may well be esteemed. His predom­ inating quality is a quiet unassuming mein that enables him to gain the distinction of being the most attentive student in the class. Earl is likewise gifted with all the characteristics which lead to success. Always a true member of the Sodality and of St. Peter’s, he is a typical example of the Petrean spirit. Hoboken has sent us many famous and likable lads but none have been as popular as the young man you now gaze upon.

It was four years ago that we first discovered Tom’s radiant optimism and cheerfulness. In him are embodied, too, the qualities of an ideal student. Tom probed with profit the mysteries of Virgil and he delved patiently into the intricate study of chemistry. His winning smile and spirit of true gentlemanliness have gained many companions for him. We do not know if Tom ever has a blue day, since his wonderful sense of humor covers all possible traces of gloom. His plans for the future are as yet unknown to us. In any event, we feel assured that he will prove a credit to St. Peter’s and will meet with a good share of success. Farewell, T om !

Four years ago when “Gene” first entered the portals of St. Peter’s his laughing eyes and cheery disposition promised us a companion who would be esteemed and highly valued. A personality and sense of humor that simply emanate good spirits, have left nothing but friends throughout the strenuous course. “Gene” has outshone the classics themselves; we are still looking for transla­ tions that are better than his. Good work “Gene.” You are a true Prep man, a gentleman, a debater, a leader.

Carefree, undaunted and confident we send you forth.

We know that you will bridge the gap to achievement.

You tricked us into liking you, we know that you will have success in making the world do the same.

James Thomas Brennan “Don” D e b a tin g 1; S o d ality 4; K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4; C lass B a sk e t­ b a ll 3, 4.

A quiet, conservative, energetic and intelligent fellow is known to us only as “Don.” He silently crept into our midst as a potential scholar and emerged from his Fresh­ man year victorious in the field of endeavor, thus laying the foundation for an enviable career at St. Peter’s. Be­ sides his enormous intellectual ability and his extraordi­ nary knowledge of the classics, he is proud in possessing a pleasing personality which has won its way into the hearts of every one of his classmates and friends as well as the faculty.

“Bill” is a living example of “Live and let live.” When­ ever Virgil or Homer come to trouble his happy dreams, : “Bill” always maintained that same bright smile which resolved these unwelcome phantoms into the dew. A mul­ titude of good things might be said about our dark-haired classmate, but what seems to be the greatest thing among the many is his punctuality. He was a constant source of joy to the Prefect’s heart, who rarely had to write his name upon a slip. His good qualities, especially his punctuality, the foundation of success, insure a glowing future for “Bill.”

This quiet, well poised chap is a respected and valuable member of our Senior Class. He has always contributed much to the spirit of good fellowship and his good nature and sympathetic understanding make his presence sought by all. Having drunk deep of the fountain of knowledge at the Prep, he is well prepared to face the world and achieve success. Well-built physically and well-balanced mentally he is bound to prove an asset to every under­ taking in which he partakes. St. Peter’s is as sorry to lose his valuable presence as he is reluctant to forsake the pleasant walls of his Alma Mater.

“Joe’s” interests, we are told, incline toward scientific pur­ suits. He has had several deep discussions on the merits of Physics. In the fields of studies “Joe” has always been an outstanding leader. Quiet in manner, hard­ working, he is always at hand when there is need of unraveling the tangles of scholastic work and his clear and penetrating intellect have helped solve many a knotty problem in class. As a friend “Joe” is a glowing ray of joy and sunshine, as a classmate he is a helping hand at all times. In bidding you “Goodby,” “Joe,” we are cer­ tain that you will ever stand high in the esteem of all.

“Buck” typifies the best of St. Peter’s. In the realm of sport and study both, he has plunged wholeheartedly into the tasks confronting him. His fluent tongue has turned the tide of many a forensic contest, while his “peppy” voice has often put courage into his team-mates. You never see a frown upon his placid countenance and he has been a brightening influence in many a class period.

Always eager to be in the “thick of things,” to partake even in the most strenuous of school activities, this loyal Prepster is a real credit and asset of St. Peter’s.

S o d a lity 1, 2, 3, 4; K .B .S . 1, 2, 3, 4; D e b a tin g 1, 2, 3, 4.

Four years ago John’s shadow fell upon the threshold of St. Peter s. Since then we have found in him a jovial character and remarkable ability for self-reliance. During the four years at St. Peter’s John has shown the quali­ ties of good behavior and perfect attention. His com­ pany as a classmate and student was enjoyed by his class. John was a perfect student and an interesting speaker as was clearly shown by his frequent debates.

Since you have been a- faithful friend and companion to all, upon leaving St. Peter’s may you be greeted by all the success due to you.

When in the distant future we shall look back on the revered days which we have spent in the cloisters of St. Peter’s, among the gems which will twinkle through the hazy oblivion will be this pleasing, Irish face, a personi­ fication of gameness, wit, diligence and sportsmanship.

When Cosines, Tangents and Secants cast a monotonous spell over the room of 4-B, a well-anticipated witticism from the lips of “Jack” would dispel the gloom of the period. So “Jack” as time spells “Finis” to our all-tooshort days at St. Peter’s, we bid you “Farewell,” the best of luck and Godspeed.

A person rarely meets a more likable chap than “Curly.” j He is a living example of one endowed with the true ’ St. Peter’s spirit. Diligent and persevering in his studies he has won the respect of both students and teachers for his notable scholastic record. He has displayed great loyalty to his school in his support of its teams. | He has always been zealous in his cooperation in all class activities. Thus he has become one of the most popular young men in the Senior Class. At his gradua­ tion St. Peter’s will lose one of its most loyal sons.

We will remember John for many things,—the ease and fluency with which he speaks—his truly fine Latin style and his ability to extract novel meanings from the maze of Xenophon,—and the grace and confidence which he displays in all circumstances and which mark him as a man. Which of us can forget the young fellow who used his humor so seldom and so well, and who quietly accom­ plished while others planned? We can predict no future for him except that he will succeed in his every venture.

It is probable that John will be best remembered in later years for his quiet and unassuming nature. His outward calm is, however, a. disguise for a gentle humor that has bubbled over on occasion. Not among the least of John’s achievements is his skill on the court. Playing a fast and rugged game he has won the admiration of all by his ability to score for our Alma Mater. Certainly he can take pride in saying he was a Varsity member of that sensational team of ’35 and it is hardly necessary for us to add our best wishes for his success.

The Class of ’36 is studded with many brilliant charac­ ters but no one can lay a better claim to distinction than this dark-haired youth from Jersey City. Soon after en­ tering St. Peter’s “Jack,” by hard work and by using his many talents, won the undivided admiration of Ms fellow-classmates and teachers alike. His congenial per­ sonality and his cheery goodwill enabled him to enjoy the real pleasures of his scholastic career. We do not know his plans for the future but we do know that he will succeed, for “Jack” has always conducted himself according to the numberless requirements that result in success, Honesty, Courage, Industry.

PETREAN Joseph Francis C o d a "Joe” D eb a tin g 1; S o d ality 1; K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4.

Quietness is a quality we all should possess. Having known “Joe” for four years we have had ample time to learn his principal characteristics. Kind, reliable, he is one to treasure as a friend. You can always depend upon him to listen willingly to any of your difficulties or troubles. There is one talent which we cannot overlook in him. It is his singing ability. He has sung before the school frequently, and has received tumultuous ap­ plause for his excellent rendition of pathetic and beautiful songs. To tell all his good traits would be next to im­ possible.

At a time like this, when parting is near, we turn to a friend, “Dan,” loyal and dear. Studious and modest, yet always gay, he has often been the hero of the day. “Dan” was a real friend and classmate. His personal integrity and determination, won for him a reputation which is en­ viable among his classmates. Whatever he attempted, he completed with an efficiency that is characteristic of him. Equally prominent were “Dan’s” intelligence and generosity, as often manifested by his timely aid to his classmates. In the field of study as well as sport, “Dan” has always been and always will be a leader.

Robert Francis C offey “Bob” S o d ality 3, 4; K .B .S. 1; F ootball 4; Class P re sid e n t 4.

“Bob” Coffey is bidding “Adieu” to the Prep. His y ready wit and sly humor will be missed by all. His ability to give and take, coupled with his generosity is unsur- § passed. Four years at St. Peter’s have armed him with a formidable weapon with which he may venture into and conquer other fields of study. He has well molded the materials necessary for character and which have been so abundantly supplied by our good teachers. Husky and well-built, he chose football as his favorite sport, ■; and his ability in this field assured him his school letter. ^ And so we bid you a sincere “Bon Voyage,” “Bob.”

The time for parting is nigh, and as we come across “Bob,” we sober and shake his hand a little longer, for he was a good friend of ours. “Bob” has always been known to us as a real man. Here is the husky young man who played center, and it was sport for sport’s sake with him. In the classroom .he did his best and his best was very good indeed. We admire his courage, his spirit, and it has been a source of inspiration to us. “Bob,” in later life you shall succeed, for such a combination of diligence, talent, spirit and strength dannot lead to failure.

Our Alma M ater can well be proud of this affable, studious, efficient youth. He is, it seems, a devotee of Cicero, Demosthenes and Mark Antony. In his scientific exposi­ tions he bids fair to revolutionize the mechanical world.

He has come to us from St. Michael’s and still manifests a close interest in its activities, especially, it is said, in the High School. “Speechy” has ever been popular but he does not depend on his intellectual qualities alone, for his never ceasing smile and jolly disposition assure him the friendship of all wherever he goes. Farewell, John, and may you continue to endear yourself to all.

James Richard Connelly “Ace” K .B .S . 1, 2, 3, 4; C lass B a sk e tb a ll 4.

To the class of ’36 the name “Ace” will readily be asso­ ciated with a broad smile and hearty laugh. For four years his shining, Irish countenance has lighted the corri­ dors of the Prep. He has developed a pleasing type of humor that is new and different and for which he is solely responsible. Of course his wit does not at all over­ shadow his other qualities. As a student he ranks among the best. As to the future we may be sure that his cheery nature will carry him along through the vicissitudes of life. “Ace” aspires to become an airman and we hope to some day find him guiding the destinies of the country’s largest airliners. “Happy landings, Ace.”

PETREAN Robert Edward Connelly "Bob” S o d ality 4; C lass B a sk e tb a ll 4.

It is our sincere regret that “Bob” was not with us for all the four years of our studies at the Prep. “Bob” repre­ sents the sober and unassuming sort of gentleman who always considers the feelings of others and never seems to have any desire to assume self-glory. To see “Bob” around the school one would say he was carefree and non­ chalant, but to see him in class the opinion formed would be: a youth of remarkable learning and application to study. His sterling qualities will keep him ever in the hearts of his classmates and guarantee him a high place in life.

Four glorious years at the Prep, and now “Bob” is depart­ ing. We say departing but do not misunderstand. Al­ though he himself might withdraw from St. Peter’s, his accomplishments will never be forgotten, and wherever he may go, the Prep, in spirit, will always accompany him.

Although possessed with many worthy possibilities “Bob” impressed us mostly as a poet. His poems we have always enjoyed and always will recall at the mere mention of “Bob’s” name. Whether it be in the literary world or in the business world we know that much deserved success will be his.

Joseph Paul C o p e s “Joe” K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4; S o d ality 2; D eb atin g 1, 2, 3, 4; P E T R E A N 4.

“Joe” is well known for his generosity. He is the sort of fellow who would give his all for a friend. He is always in good humor and his courteous and agreeable manner has won for him a multitude of friends. The quiet and serious way he always attended the Physics and Chemistry classes shows that he is scientifically inclined, yet it was surprising the way he could work out the most intricate problems. We are sure that when he leaves the Prep, his genial smile will never be forgotten by his classmates and friends, and that success will accompany his foot­ steps.

PETREAN Lawrence Francis Costello “Larry” K .B .S . 1, 2, 3, 4; D e b a tin g 1.

‘‘Larry” is one of the finest gentlemen it has been our privilege to know. During the years he has been with us, he has distinguished himself not only scholastically, but also as a quiet, unassuming and yet confident student of St. Peter’s. In later years when we think of our class­ mates, we will always remember “Larry” as being the well dressed, conservative young man, who in his distinctive way impressed everyone by his importance, his vast store of knowledge, and his unlimited charm and affability.

The only memories we have of “Larry” are pleasant ones.

James Patrick Crow ley “Jim ” K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4; D e b a tin g 1, 2; C lass B a se b a ll 1, 2, 3; S o d ality 1, 2, 4; C lass B a sk e tb a ll 1, 2.

A soft voice which laughs easily but always at the proper time, is the unique possession of “Jim.” No matter what his task may be, he tackles it with determination and always succeeds. But his quietness remains his most note­ worthy trait. In his case, the old axiom, “The strongest minds are those of which the world hears least,” is without a doubt accurate. We may say that when he is quiet, he is very quiet, but when he is noisy, he is just as quiet.

Notwithstanding his quietness, he has a subtle sense of humor which flares forth at intervals to the astonishment of all who do not know him.

One incident, to my mind, would characterize “George” better than a plentitude of volumes. We were riding one day on the bus when the topic of conversation reverted to a more serious aspect. “I believe,” said “George,” “that a fellow shouldn’t go about with a face a mile long, but that he should enjoy his boyhood since it comes but once.”

This is “George.” Though a scholar and a rival of Demosthenes, he is the personification of fun and energy.

He is as much at ease in the yard as in the Stygian abstruseness of Latin and Greek. As a scholar he takes his stand among the foremost and his figure, as he lucidly propounds an argument, is a prominent one in the Debating Society.

“Doc,” despite his size, is a model of what a true Prepster should be. His support has never been found lacking to any class or school activity. With “Doc,” joviality and scholastic ability go hand in hand. When the time came for serious work, he was at great pains to do well in whatever assignments came. Both in and outside of class he has been as genial and as witty a companion as one would wish to have. In each of his four years at the Prep, he has received some position of honor. His name has become famous from the Sodality to the Debating Society.

If ambition is the passport accepted on the ship of success, then “Doddy” can rest assured on his laurels. For four years at the Prep, he has been a conscientious student and a true scholar, and we all feel happy to see his name ranked with the best in the class. His loyal group of friends, his high principles, his respect for authority, and his indefatigable spirit attest to his sterling character.

“Doddy” is the type of fellow who has a welcome word for all, whether he be a humble Freshman or a haughty Senior. If it is true that the future is read in the past, | then we really need feel no apprehension for Adrian.

“The poor we shall have with us always—” but we shall I miss “Flash.” We shall miss his “Fiddle” and his practicalS jokes, his sarcasms and tricky questions. We shall miss H the taste of his pretzels as well as the perfection of his ]-j hair comb. We may forget his achievements in the world of studies, his enthusiasm on the field of sports, and his'® unfailing attendance at Sodality. We may forget his happy ' smile, his cheerful “How are you’s” and “Hello’s.” We ^ may see someone else in his place in the orchestra, in the classroom and at debating, but no one can ever ta k e * the place which he holds in the hearts of all.

PETREAN G e rald Aloysius Dougherty “Doc” K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4; S o d a lity 2, 3, 4; D e b a tin g 1, 4.

St. Peter’s has never trained a more amiable friend than “Doc.” Though friendly, he is quiet and unassuming in his own gentlemanly way. He has never been heard to utter a harsh remark about anyone nor has he been known to lose his golden humor. Every student group welcomed him, as he enlivened it with his sunny smile which was always lurking good-naturedly about his lips. Whatever difficulties presented themselves were quickly disposed of, and he emerged successfully. -If we could place all his adolescent virtues into a mythical melting-pot, these three would survive the heat of opposition,—humor, pluck, and constancy.

A splendid character coupled with a jovial disposition makes “Frank” a model Prepster. His enthusiasm in whatever field of activity he undertook was inspiring.

Throughout his four years at St. Peter’s, “Hershey” has participated actively and enthusiastically in every activity and has proved his worth. In the classroom, he has equaled his prowess on the court by constant defeats of Xenophon, Cicero and Vergil. He also mastered the in­ tricacies of Geometry and Trigonometry with ease.

Wherever he goes hence, and whatsoever path of life he may choose, success is sure to be his.

One of the tragedies of graduation is the loss of the companionship of so many admirable fellows. “Jim” in particular will be sorely missed. I t is not everyone who can boast of such a happy combination of humor, scholastic ability and athletic prowess. In the classroom his scin­ tillating wit flashed like a rapier, but unlike a rapier, cutting none. Like a juggernaut, his mighty intellect smashed through the tangles of Trigonometry, the phenomena of Physics and the labyrinths of Latin. All studies were left prostrated behind him. But it is upon the field of sport that “Jim” excels.

During his four years’ sojourn at St. Peter’s, “Bob” has won his way into the hearts of everyone. His contagious smile and attractive personality together with his almost unbelievable modesty shall remain with us as one of our most pleasing memories of school days. However his one predominant characteristic is his insuppressible spirit and determination, displayed so often by him both in the classroom and on the gridiron. Time after time he would be knocked down by the slashing onslaughts of Vergil and Homer or by the less severe charges of opposing linesmen; but he always arose, bloody, perhaps, yet un­ bowed.

“Woody’s” bright smile, his good nature, his readiness to help others, have gained for him a host of friends. A four year acquaintance with this engaging young man has served to increase the respect and admiration everyone holds for him. “Woody” won considerable fame as : Co-Captain of the football team of 1935. His brilliance in sports is even surpassed by his unfailing application to studies. By steady persevering effort he has attained a class rating of which he may well be proud. Moreover,!

“Woody” is a gentleman, the personification of Newman’s S definition, “one who never inflicts pain.”

“John” leaves our grand old Prep to enter the stately halls of fame. He has worked his way into our hearts by his merry laugh, his kind disposition and his steadfast devotion to everything Petrean. Because he is the happy possessor of a genial nature, well modulated with a serious­ ness of purpose, he has made himself popular both with his classmates and his teachers. Always the gentleman, he will long be remembered by us, and his name will be held high in our esteem.

This light hearted youth came into our midst four years ago, and his sunny smile and good nature has endeared him to us all. Ever ready to help his friends and school, his name has become synonymous with that of a true Prepster. On the varsity “five”- he was a tower of strength both on the offense and defense. His many terms as Class President and Sodality officer attest to his magnetic personality and pleasing good fellowship. Although “Gene” has not made mention of his next destination, we are sure that his integrity will manifest itself in all his future.

St. Peter’s has asked much of “Cy” and he has responded unfailingly with his best efforts. We can point with pride at his past records as an accomplished actor and a loyal supporter of Petrean activities. He was an eager and interested participant in every worthy cause. A leader among men, “Cy’s” quiet reserve and ready humor have contributed to his popularity. That all his work has not been unappreciated is shown by the whole hearted faith and confidence placed in him by professors and students alike. Indeed “Fitz” has left an enviable record at St. Peter’s.

John Joseph Flaherty “Jack" K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4; S o d ality 1, 2, 3, 4; C lass B a seb all 2.

It is said that the quiet man is the deep thinker. If this holds true, then some day “Jack” will sail high in the sky of endeavor. Just at present, though, he devoted himself to French in which his success is unusual. “Jack” does look very young and innocent, but we are told by those who know, that our knowledge goes but half way.

“Jack” is also deserving of great credit for his work in Sociology. Without a doubt we are justified in predicting a bright future for this young man.

PETREAN Joseph Thomas Furey “Joe” K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4; S o d ality 4; D eb atin g 1, 2, 4; T rack 4.

In “Joe” we find one hundred and eighty pounds of the components which make up the ideal Petrean. “Joe’s” ; popularity with his fellow classmen is due to his cheery and fascinating personality. During his four years at St. Peter’s, he has proven himself a fine student, a gentle­ man and an example of what a fine fellow should be.

Hence, it is with reluctance and regret that we let “Joe” depart from our midst and from the hallowed walls of the Prep, although we can feel assured that he is headed for greater and more universal honors.

When “Chub” leaves the golden portals of St. Peter’s he will leave behind unforgettable memories. “Stan” was well liked and held in high esteem not only because of his witty sayings and jovialty, but also because of his ability to overcome all difficulties. He had an over- \ whelming host of friends at the Prep and they all con­ sidered him a true Prepster. So as “Chub” steps out into the world, we wish him all the success and happiness !i; there is, and we are sure he will continue to climb the ladder of success with the accustomed facility.

“Charley,” as we all know him, is a friendly, likeable and jl unassuming fellow who achieves more by his silence than others by their blustering. Although small in size, he is j huge in the estimation of his classmates. He is versatile * in athletics but especially famed for his work on the gridiron. He has set us a true St. Peter’s standard for a student and gentleman. By hard work, he shattered £ all the obstacles he has met in the school course. His character is shown by his determination and diligence in both studies and athletics, and certainly nothing but suecess can crown his future efforts.

“Gabby” has a smile for everyone. This together with an enviable characteristic of observing everything from its brighter side, makes him a delightful companion. His hair always well groomed, his appearance neat and his ever ready glad hand bespeak the gentleman and in general the care and thoroughness which accompany all his enter­ prises. His four years with us have shown that he has attained an invaluable asset to future success, the art of perseverance. I t is easy, in parting, to predict for him the rewards of success that his diligence so plentifully merits.

St. Peter’s has found both a student and a man in the presence of Laurent Gauthier. His winning ways have led others to imitate him and his unforgettable character­ istics. St. Peter’s has also uncovered in the person of student “Lefty” Gauthier, an excellent athlete not only on the diamond but also on the gridiron. His undying spirit has led to many a victory for his Alma Mater and fellow students. Certainly he is a model for the under­ graduates to behold! The education he has received at St. Peter’s will stand him in good stead in later life.

In the annals of St. Peter’s Prep, “Jake” will be cherished in the heart of every student as one of the foremost of his fellow classmen not only for his ability and accuracy in athletics but also for his keen concept and ready refer­ ence concerning scholastic tactics. His gentle humor and cheerful smile have obliterated to a great extent the monotony of scholastic subjects. Many a time he has extended a helping hand to a student who had tumbled into the pit of oblivion. When St. Peter’s bids goodbye to “Jake,” as we call him, she will lose a gentleman, an athlete and a scholar.

All of us will remember the warmth of “Frank’s” smile.

His sincere and sunny disposition have won for him count­ less friends. Rarely have we seen a frown mar his features.

It seems that a smile is always lurking in his eyes or tugging at the corners of his mouth. Yet, smiling though Frank” may be, he can become an immovable object when Latin, Mathematics, or Science seek to bowl him over. We have no doubt but that “Frank” will bring great credit to St. Peter’s, that he will have complete success in anything he undertakes.

“Gooch” is one of the wisest personalities ever to leave St. Peter’s. Little application was necessary in his case for he grasped a subject quickly. “Never a dull moment” were four words which characterized “Bill’s” four years in our midst. His pregnant humor was imbibed by the parched ears of his acquaintances, and, at a crucial mo­ ment, everyone expected a sage remark from “Gooch.”

He seems to be a rung higher than his nearest contestant on the ladder of wisdom, and undoubtedly will make good in the outer world as he has in the Prep.

Joseph John Heindel “Joe” K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4; C lass P re sid e n t 1, 2; D eb atin g 1; Class B a sk etb all 1, 2, 3, 4; J.V . B a seb all 3, 4; Class B aseb all 1, 2.

From Cliffside, many of the Prep’s worthiest students have come, but none is more likeable or more deserving than “Joe.” His foremost trait is dependability, and his congenial personality has won for him the many friends that are now his. Unperturbed and serene, good natured and affable,—we have yet to see “Joe” in any other than a complacent frame of mind. The manner in which he surmounted every scholastic obstacle is an assurance of success along his life path, and we predict that many a discouraged friend will be strengthened to a new determination merely by a glance at the incomparable curls adorning “Joe’s” temples.

The years at St. Peter’s seem to have no effect on either the dimensions or the ready grin of our jovial chubby “Pickles.” But despite that impish grin and the mis­ chievous twinkle of his eyes there is the underlying quality of perseverance which marks him on the gridiron and in the class room. He reminds us of a powerful machine being tested, a machine which slowly but surely overcomes every obstacle and in the end is pronounced a success. This attitude we sincerely hope and feel certain will accompany Pete in his future life.

Every fall the small but famous school of Saint Paul of the Cross sends to the maroon and white portals men who are always worthy of St. Peter’s name. Bill is effi­ cient in every branch of the curriculum, but his forte is French. Bill is one of those conservative and methodical chaps, something of a real distinction when said of youth.

Bill has been a member of the football squad for three years and his athletic ability has won for him the admira­ tion of the school. Possessed of a generous heart, always smiling, we feel that Bill cannot but meet with success whatever may be his career.

John will long be remembered by those who know him best as a merry fellow, though gentle and unassuming.

He has ever been willing to extend a helping hand to those who need it, and in this way he has found his way into the hearts of all his classmates. John had little difficulty in overcoming the obstacles which Caesar and Cicero placed in his path, and so received many honors during his stay at the Prep. The highest praise we can give to John is to say that he is in every respect a true son of St. Peter’s Prep. Good luck, John, our loss is the Navy’s gain.

As tersely direct, truthfully sincere and calmly dignified as the Latin tongue, Bob is the consummate epitome of the true Petrean gentleman. An intense student but one with a twinkle in his eye, Bob met stately Cicero and reportorial Xenophon on equal terms and made them bow to him. English is his forte as is evidenced by the variety yet brevity of his discourse. His constancy of purposeful study was as foreign to most of us as his pithy humor was welcomed by all of us. The world has need of his kind, and altho we needlessly demand of him “quo vadis,” we already know the answer “excelsior.”

“Butch” is the true Petrean type of gentleman, athlete, scholar, and humorist. In the classroom his ever ready witticisms and robust humor brought smiles to his class­ mates and teachers alike. By his silvery eloquence he could always gracefully ease himself out of any difficulty.

On the gridiron his fighting, never-say-die spirit was most pronounced. His ability as tackle was fully realized both by his own teammates and the members of the opposing teams. In losing “Butch” we lose an ideal friend and companion, but we are sure that in later days we will ever recall his sparkling humor and jovial ways.

Jim’s most predominant quality is his pleasant smile and sense of humor. He always seems ready for a joke, even when it happens to be on himself. His jovial spirit, his versatility and his keen wit added much to foster the spirit of the class. In brief Jim has all the requisites of a gentleman and a scholar and to whatever he may turn in later life we feel sure that his determined will and perseverance will inevitably lead him to success. For four years we have admired Jim and now, in parting, we take great pleasure in listing him as a loyal and under­ standing friend, a true Prepster.

Always one of the outstanding members of the class, Charley well deserves the compliments of the entire grad­ uating class. He has successfully attained two major goals at St. Peter’s—athletic glory and graduation. The former he has gained as the outstanding kicker of the metropolitan area. We can only pray that in the future we may see him on his way to greater victories amid those same acclamations that have so many times sent him winging his way over the football field for the winning score.

So long “Charley” and may you enjoy success in your athletic career.

Again the city of Bayonne has made a real contribution to St. Peter’s Prep in the person of “Chuck” Jones.

“Chuck” entered the portals of St. Peter’s in 1932. In first year he was a member of 1A, thence through 2C, 3C and 4C. “Chuck” is a likable, cheerful, sporty chap, full of wit and good humor. He has always been a gentleman and a good student. When he graduates and meets the world outside, we have no doubt he will be successful. We will miss “Chuck’s” cheering and desir­ able presence in our midst. Good-bye, “Chuck” and good luck.

Of diminutive stature, nevertheless Paul has never been repulsed by the fortifications of Virgil, Cicero and Homer.

With admirable tenacity he has clung to the precipitous walls of study, surmounting every obstacle and at length achieved the citadel of success. With the very same per­ sistence he has found his way into our hearts and will ever remain there. Paul, however, is not always the serious intellectual lad. In the midst of some dreary morning when gloom threatens the entire class, there often comes an irrepressible joke, a half-stifled laugh; all eyes are straightway turned on Paul and the gloom is banished.

Six feet of sympathetic kindness and loyal friendship, a dash of sparkling wit and bubbling humor all together compose “Marty.” As we let our thoughts wander back to Freshman days, we recall a cheerful youth plodding through the fundamentals expounded in our textbooks.

Today we see him a polished gentleman and a scholar.

With his happy-go-lucky air “Marty” has made a host of friends, and by his perseverance he has gained an enviable position in all his undertakings. If winning ways and an industrious character are the marks of success, then certainly “M arty” is bound to come out on top.

Bernard Thomas Kane “Sugar” S o d ality 2, 3, 4; K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4.

Four years ago “Sugar” came into our midst and won the friendship of all. Unlike most of our class “Sugar” has one outstanding characteristic—silence. His quiet dis­ position has gained for him a host of friends during his stay at the Prep. “Sugar” has played many jokes on others and himself been the recipient of many, but always did he bob up as happy as ever, and looked as fresh and vigorous at the end of the day as at the beginning, despite the fact that he worked as hard as any of us. When we first knew him “Sugar” was some­ what nervous but with the help of the Elocution classes and his own latent power he has easily surmounted this little difficulty.

“Apples,” for that is the name by which we know him best, is the jolliest of all our classmates. He is always cheerful even in the face of strenuous studies. A colorful player on the court, “Apples” recitations are also worthy of attention since they are thorough and expressed in a novel manner, with true wit and humor scattered here and there among the words of wisdom. The class is truly indebted to “Apples” for some of its most serious as well as its lighter moments. Well “Apples,” we all must part at last. In the years to come remember your class expects great things of you and we know your determina­ tion will carry you far in life.

After four all too short years “Skeets” has reached the point where we must bid him an inevitable “Farewell.”

And yet there is no sorrow in the parting, for we know that he has nobly attained the end which placed him in our midst. Always a leader in the forensic field, and the pride of his history teacher, his was the power to place his learning aside at the opportune moment and amuse us with his wittiest remarks. And so with this in mind, “Skeets,” we wish you a fond “Farewell” with the assurance that your future efforts will be crowned with the same success that culminated your past endeavors.

Our own “Chang,” a direct descendant of Confucius in­ sofar as wisdom is concerned, has shown the power and foresight to become equally adept in the art of everlasting goodfellowship. Not only has his congeniality won for him undying friendship in our hearts, but also the sun­ shine of his good nature and his scholastic ability will leave an impression that he was a student worthy of imitation. If you go on even in a small measure toward that goal which we have set for you in our minds as quite inevitable, then, “Chang,” happiness, achievement and success will be yours in the years to come.

Four years ago, “Jim” came to St. Peter’s a quiet and conservative young man, and we have always found him the same; strong in his convictions and ever ready to assist in any class undertaking. Early in his career as a Sophomore he displayed outstanding ability on the dia­ mond. As a batsman and shortstop we shall ever remem­ ber him. As we near the close of our association we can point to “Jim” as one of the most popular men of his class. Always self-sacrificing where the class or school was concerned, we can predict, without the least fear of contradiction, that “Jim” will be a success in whatever line he may pursue in future life.

One of “Bill’s” strongest claims to our hearts and mem­ ories is his droll wit. “Humor’s Son” is the most apt description that we can imagine. Through the stormiest 1 and most dangerous of our studies “Bill” has always smiled and joked, compelling us to banish melancholy. With his unfailing good humor he has proven an inspiration to many of us struggling in the slough of despair. When “Bill” 1 leaves these halls the world will be so much brighter for his presence. “Bill’s” good fortune is assured if the world | can appreciate him as we do.

For the oustanding personality of 1936 we nominate “Jack.” Loyal, friendly and persevering, he bears the marks of a thorough leader, a polished gentleman and a thorough scholar. Yet the policy of this happy-go-lucky candidate could be termed as an irresistible smile and an infectious laugh, which has garnered for our “Jack” a host of friends.

Carry on “Jack.” We are certain that whatever path in life you choose to follow there you will continue to spread the same cheerfulness and happiness that we have known through four all too short years.

We were first introduced to “Bill” at the beginning of second year, and since that time he has endeared himself to his classmates and shown himself in every respect an outstanding and Worthy son of Peter’s. He has indeed attained the pinnacle of success, being preeminent as a scholar and unrivalled by anyone in his zeal and activity for the cause of Catholic action. His quiet mannerisms do not inform one of his ready wit, his keen intellect and fiery eloquence that sweeps all obstacles before it. A brilliant and versatile scholar, St. Peter’s bids, “Adieu” and “Godspeed” to our classmate and companion “Bill” Kruse, and we know that the qualities that have endeared him to us will be his passport to the hearts of all.

It is said that a photo can never do justice to a man and this was never more true than in the case of Harry Leber. This mere summary cannot tell you the story of the man and we find in him an excellent example of “mens sana in corpore sano.” To enumerate his athletic abilities is difficult. Undoubtedly his record on the basket­ ball court will ever be foremost in our minds but even this cannot overshadow his success on the gridiron and diamond. Harry’s outstanding characteristics are “fight” and “fair play” ; fight for victory tho the odds overwhelm, and fair play at all costs.

Our toast is to a student, bountifully blessed with a for­ tune of good looks, and a disposition ordained for greater things. To write a short sketch of “Charlie” is by no means an easy task, for to put into words what one feels about a man like him is one of the hardest assignments ever placed on anyone’s shoulders. Quiet, reserved, manly, he has gone about his duties in a manly way which has left a lasting impression on both teachers and students alike. Knowing as we do “Charlie’s” further aspirations, we cannot but feel that his ready smile and genial dis­ position will win him new honors and new friends as they did at St. Peter’s.

Among the members of his own class “Loff’s” ready words of kindness will never be forgotten. Always athletically inclined he was most outstanding in the inter-class basketball games, and his defense playing, added to his ability to come through at critical moments often decided the outcome of a game.

We cannot overlook his faithful attendance to the Sodality and his four years as a loyal Knight of the Blessed Sacrament.

The sight of “Tom” stroking his chin and reciting in his deep bass voice has been a familiar and amusing one to his classmates. He is an industrious chap whose profound air of reserve as well as his faculty of succeeding in whatever he undertakes make him outstanding. A com­ bination of true worth and greatness. The honor of the class has often rested upon his shoulders and when others have failed “Tom” could always be depended upon to uphold the reputation of the class, a bulwark of St. Peter’s and a friend of all.

See him there, madly slashing off tackle, circling the ends, twisting, twirling, side stepping, to gain yard on yard and carry the ball for a touchdown. With the same enthusiasm he puts shot after shot to add substantially to the basket­ ball score. Truly a great athlete.

“Red” has to his credit a large number of accomplishments the most outstanding of which is his singular ability to laugh at the puns of the teachers. Favorable were the gods in their many gifts to “Red.” Behind his everbeaming countenance there lies the design and hope to excel not only in the classroom but also in the athletic world. Experience has taught him that only courageous perseverance is a guarantee for success. On more than one occasion “Red’s” “ready line” has livened up a dull moment of class and if his success in studies is a fore­ runner of his success in later life then we need have no fear for “Red.”

Whenever we think of “Mac” there hovers before our minds the picture of a rare and well balanced combination of scholarship, humor and urbanity. From the center of the room his spirit of industry seems to pervade the entire class and his dogged determination to succeed trifles with no obstacles. There is never a joke or a laugh in which “Mac” does not participate and. his keen mind has often found flaws where others saw only perfection. Science and literature are not hindrances but only stepping stones over which “Mac” passes unscathed on his way to certain success.

“Gene” offers us an unusual combination of brain and brawn. Ever most affable, he was one of the most popular and admired men of his class. Our every hope for suc­ cess in a difficult football game rested on the competent shoulders of “Gene.” His teachers found out that action on the gridiron tended only to sharpen his scholastic abilities while his diligent perseverance always assured him of success. The doors of every college will beckon to him and in future years we know we will find him high in his walk of life, for at St. Peter’s he has imbibed the wisdom which can lead only to ultimate success.

When “Mac” entered the portals of St. Peter’s four years ago a difficult task confronted him : he must live up to the prestige created by his family predecessors. Perse­ verance, the keynote to “Bob’s” makeup, has shown itself in his class work and activities. A man of true worth in the class room as well as outside of it, “Mac” joins up the combination looked for in every son of St. Peter s.

You must leave us this year and we wish your stay with us had been longer. To you be the honor due to every Prep graduate. May the name of “Mac” resound in the future as it has in the past, ever with words of praise.

As a ship carries its cargo in one particular section so “Bob” McCarthy bears his unique characteristics in the I letters M-A-C. The letter M portrays his magnetic spirit, manly tactics and momentous possibilities. We visualize in the letter A his athletic prowess displayed in many memorable Petrean football engagements. C designates his courageous and competitive achievements and his con­ sistent ability to satisfy his friends. We hope that he will always remember his graduating colleagues as we shall always remember him.

Hidden beneath the quiet conservatism of “Mac” there lies a generous determined heart and an ever present sense of humor. Throughout his stay at St. Peter’s “Mac” has proven himself a studious young man. His cheerful countenance and untiring energy have won for him a place in the hearts of his companions. Sympathetic understanding has made of him a ready listener, as well as a great favorite, one ever ready to assist his friends^ the class or the school. “Mac’s” scholastic abilities can be impugned by none. Because we esteem him as a loyal, serious and manly friend it is with a touch of sorrow that we bid him farewell as he climbs the next step to success.

“Mac” is typical of those fellows who come to the “Prep” not merely for an education as some may see it, not merely to participate in athletics, but to obtain an education that can only be desired by a man whose aims are sincere and whose ideals are blameless. He has faithfully I attended the “Prep” for four years to obtain a liberal | education and become a living unit of the school. To accomplish his aim “Mac” has labored unceasingly and untiringly, ever ready and willing to do everything neces-r' sary not only for his own success but also to lend a helping hand to any classmate who may have found any difficulty in the subjects that “Mac” has mastered.

There is no better example of a typical St. Peter’s man that “Harp.” Persevering as an athlete, he has obtained for himself a position high in the estimation of the Prep sportsmen. His happy-go-lucky appearance and his op­ timistic view of life make him a jolly companion. Light hearted and gay, with never a worry, never a grudge against anyone, he will always linger in our minds as one of the most pleasing personalities of the graduating class. Newman’s definition of a gentleman lives in “Harp”—“one who never inflicts pain.”

At the end of our stay at St. Peter’s we depart with many pleasant memories, not the least of which is the memory of “Mac.” During his stay with us he has never failed to liven a gloomy situation. A good sense of humor is not “Mac’s” only good point, for he holds his place with the foremost members of the class. His Sodality activities and forensic attempts bespeak a serious side of “Mac’s” nature. Tho not on the Varsity squads “Mac” was always seen amongst defenders of his class’s reputation on the court. And so as “Mac” moves to newer and greener pastures we wish him but one thing—success.

Hugh Francis M cN e il “Scotty” S o d ality 4; K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4; C lass B a sk e tb a ll 1, 2, 3, 4.

“Scotty” is the lad with the six inch smile and the happy personality. Everyone knows and appreciates “Scotty’s” cheerful nature which is rivaled only by his ability in class work. However difficult the task, never was he the man to say “quits.” In athletics, too, Scotty holds his place both in class and varsity basketball. Such a com­ bination of perseverance, good humor and loyalty as is his makes us realize we are better men for having known him and hope that the ties of friendship begun at the Prep may live forever.

‘‘Red’s” desire to learn has merited for him a well deserved position among the first scholars of the class. His active nature is shown by his participation in every school or class event. His histrionic abilities cannot be passed over in silence and the merry twinkle of his eyes and readiness to help every and anyone have gained for him a host of friends. No difficulty in class was ever too profound for him to master and his appreciation of every form of humor ranks a close second. The Prep and all who have known him bid “Adieu” to “Red” with a touch of sadness.

The two prominent qualities in the character of our friend are cheerfulness and charity towards his fellow students.

Blended with a keen sense of humor they are Ed’s con­ tribution toward good fellowship. This rare combination makes of “Ed” a very agreeable companion both in the classroom and on the grounds. Many a dull class has been relieved by his sense of humor. What “Ed” intends to do after graduation is still unknown to us but we may predict with certainty that a man of his calibre cannot but succeed. Goodbye “Ed” and good luck.

In “Nick” we have an outstanding combination of a gentleman, scholar and athlete. There are few of us who will ever forget “Nick’s” quiet intriguing smile as he unraveled the unintelligible mysteries of Geometry. Physics, Chem­ istry and science in general hold no terrors for him, and are but stepping stones to his already vast store of knowl­ edge. Never perturbed or excited, his calm self-possessed temperament was best manifested in his position as foot­ ball manager and it is in this position that his true merits were to be seen. It has been a pleasure to know you, “Nick” ; we will never forget your generosity and devotion.

The memory of an ever smiling and cheerful “Lou” will always be dear to the class of ’36. His countenance ever portrays a spirit of good nature that cheers and delights all who behold it. A word of good cheer for everybody, his carefree attitude has saved many of his classmates from the clutches of “II Pensoroso.” I t is a rare gift to be able to smile one’s own and others’ difficulties away, and that we all claim is “Lou’s” outstanding prerogative. No undertaking is too large, none too small for “Lou’s” whole­ hearted and honest endeavors.

“Migs,” ' as we are wont to call him, has ever been a favorite among us. His small stature might deceive the ordinary observer but we who know him well can but marvel at the latent powers contained beneath so quiet an exterior. On the court we have watched him with approving eye and more than once in the classroom we have paused to listen to the words of wisdom that fall from his lips after deep and careful thought. A careful student and a loyal friend we are all proud to have this quiet determined son of Peter’s as our classmate.

In an eulogy of St. Peter’s graduates it is easy to sing the praises of “Ed.” His cheerful countenance radiates a subtle goodwill which dispels every gloomy thought. He absolutely refuses to be pessimistic, and his whimsical remarks are ever most timely. We have always noted and admired “Ed’s” straightforwardness and the pleasing manner in which he sets about accomplishing things; this characteristic it is that has aided him in attaining the enviable position he enjoys among his friends. “Ed” has represented Peter in two sports: football and basketball.

In all his undertakings he has ever portrayed the ideal gentleman; may success be his.

Because of his unfailing good spirit and earnest application “Rudy” has won the sincere admiration both of his professors and his fellow students. His good humor is responsible to a very large extent for the cheerful attitude with which his fellow classmates face their daily tasks.

We will always remember “Rudy” as a loyal friend and a true gentleman. We feel sure “Rudy” that whatever path of life you may choose to follow, your way will always be the successful way, if only you continue to smile and cheer up those about as you have the class of ’36.

“Gino” was blessed with that rare combination of humor | and good common sense which enables one to brighten the dullest moments and make life a joy forever. His con­ sideration for others and his friendly manner endeared him to all who made his acquaintance during his sojourn at the Prep. Ever ready to display his school spirit “Gino” was never too busy to perform a favor regardless of its demands. Nor did his strenuous and excellent perform­ ances in dramatics interfere in the life of this true St, Peter’s student. And so, as he has succeeded in his scholastic career, we in bidding him “Adieu” wish him the same success in later life.

Any attempt to characterize “Jack” in the space allotted would be well nigh impossible. Sufficient it is to say that he is a man of quiet good nature, courtesy and manliness whose pleasing smile and genial spirit were always a source of joy to his companions. We shall sorely miss his regular attendance at the K.B.S., at debating and at the Sodality as well as his participation in all class activities and sports.

Thus it is with reluctance that we bid goodbye to “Jack ” We are better men for having known him, and ha\ nothing but the best hopes for his future.

If student-day virtues are any criterion of future greatness then we may certainly expect outstanding achievements from “Murph” in his pursuits of later life. Whether on the athletic field or in the classroom our friend has always conducted himself with the utmost manliness and sports­ manship, which coupled with a serious determination to succeed, has resulted in his surpassing in all his fields of endeavor. And yet at the hour of departure as we bid “Murph” Godspeed it shall not be “vale” but “au revoir,” for his very nature and ability will not suffer him to fade into oblivion.

Happy-go-lucky, easy-going, full of fun, that’s our “Murph.” “Murph’s” humor is a live and growing thing, and often above the merry din of laughter in the class will be heard the deep chuckle of his voice. In the class­ room he has bravely faced the Titan task of education, and tho in difficulties at times, has finally conquered by dint of earnest application. All of the class join in wish­ ing him, a perfect gentleman and a firm friend, success.

Keep up the good work “Murph” and you will go far; for you have laid deep and solid foundations in your stay at the Prep.

When we first met “Ed,” the freshman, we were cap­ tivated by his ever ready wit and cheerful disposition.

During our four years’ stay with him at the Prep our admiration for him has grown stronger and stronger because of his diligent application to his studies and extracurricular activities. On first meeting “Ed,” one may think that his is a somewhat backward temperament but when the bonds of friendship have sprung up then do we fully realize the capabilities that lie hidden under a conservative exterior.

When we see the way he surmounts difficulties in and out of class we know that failure will never blot the career that has begun so well.

“George,” as you can well understand from his picture, draws the silent admiration of all who know him. As one of our classmates he has contributed much to what will be the richest memories of later years; for his cooperation and generosity in sports and all school activities has been on a par with his eagerness and zeal to learn in the class­ room. We are sure that the spirit and energy which has characterized him as one of the “Prep’s” foremost track men, and carried him many a time to victory on the cinder path, will assure him of victory also in his later struggles in life.

Pleasant, earnest, modest and many other similar epithets expound the character of this comely countenance which appears before you. To his classmates he is known as “Red.” He is the possessor of a happy and unchanging personality. “Red’s” evenness of temperament has won for him many friends at St. Peter’s. In the classroom we knew “Red” as a worker whose axiom was “in medio stat virtus” and all, both teachers and classmates, acknowl­ edge him as a delightful combination of gentleman and scholar. But now that graduation approaches we bid farewell to “Red” and with this sad word we embody our fondest hopes for future success.

When the small and unpretending class of ID first set \ sail across the stormy sea of education there were few who would have predicted that before long “Bill” would have attained the well earned and undisputed position of helmsman. But he did. Slowly and surely, like the waters wearing away the cliffs, he has completely mastered every ^ difficulty that besets the unwary student. With far greater ease he has won his way into our hearts and shown himself a generous cultured gentleman and a loyal friend.

“Bill” does not speak much but when he does then do , we realize how well he has laid his foundations and we | fully appreciate the powers that a quiet exterior can only f. partly hide.

Because of his many-sided personality and untiring sense of humor, “Big Tom” will always hold an unforgettable position in our memories of St. Peter’s. His quiet, re­ assuring smile has time and again made our burdens lighter.

When we reflect on the four years we have spent with you we realize that a large body Was necessary to contain so large and generous a heart.' No less do we admire the steady constant drive you have made against all the intellectual ramparts of text books without number. “Perge quo cepisti,” and when the world lies at your feet, reserve a chosen place for your classmates of ’36.

Four years ago there came from Bayonne in the person of “Hie,” a young man bubbling over with vitality and energy. His social undertakings ran parallel to his class­ room inclinations, both a winning success. The happy personality of “Hie” won the goodwill of all of us the moment he stepped among us. These golden traits, tem­ pered by an admirable disposition, paint for us the picture of the typical “Petrean” “Hie” is. We have great faith in “Hic’s” future, and we feel certain he will make good use of every advantage offered him.

‘‘Neil” has the distinction of being the weightiest senior of the class of ’36. What is more, he can likewise lay claim to the proverbial good nature of his build. His popularity is enhanced by a reserve that is not infrequently varied with a pointed and inoffensive sense of humor. As a scholar he is industrious but his true wisdom is mani­ fested in his philosophic outlook on the vicissitudes of class life. On the gridiron “Neil’s” powerful build proved of great assistance to the Prep. We are sorry to leave you, “Neil,” but we are thankful for the good fortune we have had to enjoy your presence for four happy years.

Quiet and unassuming, “Skippy” appeared in our midst four years ago. His ready smile and jovial disposition soon won for him a host of friends. “Skippy” was one of the school’s most energetic workers, always striving to do his best both in studies and athletics. We could always depend upon “Skippy” to lend a helping hand to those who came to him for aid. His sterling quality as a student and as an ardent supporter of all activities has placed him in an enviable position of honor and esteem among his fellow classmates.

As the years pass and class memories grow dim, the deeds of “P at” will linger still. He is one whomwe look upon as a typical Petrean. Brilliant scholar and clean-cut athlete combine to make up that stocky young fellow whom we all know as “Pat” O’Neill. On the gridiron, on the track or in class, he always proved himself to be a true Catholic gentleman. Popularity of the well-deserved kind has been his at the Prep. “Pat’s” everlasting smile and his humor have endeared him to the hearts of all. So it is with a touch of pride that we presage for “P at” great renown in the profession of his choice.

If you see a head of wavy brown hair set on broad shoulders, and a wreathed smile, you may be fairly sure that it is Happy-go-lucky “Rebbie.” For who is now cheerful, full of fun, and charmingly indifferent to worries as ‘"‘Rebbie” ? He works hard during working hours and plays hard when it is time to play. Glance at his list of activities. We see there a good athlete, a great influ­ ence on the field of sport. But there is also the Sodality and K.B.S. Does it not speak for itself? Does it not tell you that here is a typical Prepster,—a man?

Just as kind and good as he looks, “Leo” has entwined himself about the hearts of all his classmates. How well we recall him on the Bayonne trolley, contemplating, humming, and disseminating gems of youthful wisdom.

“Leo’s” quiet manner is just enough to mark him the true gentleman. For the past year he has been dreaming dreams of military adventures and ships at sea. We wish him well in this venture if it is accomplished, but may we' surmise that his long years of vigilance as altar boy and his fine human traits might mean something better for him.

With a smile that rivaled the sun in brightness and an ever-present willingness to do us a favor, “Charley” easily won for himself a place in our hearts during his sojourn at the Prep. Light-hearted and carefree, he wends his way along, making new friends and winning fresh honors appar­ ently without effort. The depths of his knowledge are unfathomable, and whenever we were in doubt on any question, we turned automatically to this reliable authority.

In his studies as well as in his other activities “Charley” has found persistence the keynote of success.

There is one term which completely and perfectly de­ scribes our “Mike,”—wit. Sad would have been the days if he had not enlivened and aroused us from our hard studious hibernation by his jovial sayings and witticisms.

He is assurance in person; the personification of confidence.

Whether reciting a too hastily prepared lesson or awaiting the starter’s gun at a track meet, this golden-haired Adonis radiates the faith in his own ability to succeed which we predict will carry him along life’s road to accomplish­ ment. Vergil, Ovid and Homer were merely stepping stones in the path to ultimate success.

PETREAN Nicholas Peter Sito “Nick” S o d ality 1, 2, 3, 4; K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4; C lass B a sk e tb a ll 1.

If a typical St. Peter’s man is desired, then we need look no further than the small but rugged frame of “Nick.”

This is apparent to anyone who has heard him translate either Vergil or Homer, and he is equally well versed in other branches of the curriculum. In spite of his quiet disposition, he is no back number in the way of athletics; tor many an intra-mural game has been won by his scin­ tillating performance. In bidding you “Bon Voyage,” Nick,” we say that you cannot avoid success, if you continue the good work begun at St. Peter’s.

In “Chuck” we find the same studious yet fun-loving lad we met four too short years ago. His unquestioned ability, his sterling character, his many friends and his gift for making them strongly attest to his unparalleled popularity.

His depth of determination has carried “Frank” through his siege of studies and having conquered in the battle, he holds them fast, the willing prisoners of his intellect.

Coming events cast their shadows before and, fortified by that knowledge, we can safely venture that whatever niche in life “Chuck” may occupy, he will fill it completely with the fruits of his accomplishments.

Stanley Joseph Sokol “Stan” K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4; Class B a sk e tb a ll 2, 3, 4; Class B aseb all 2, 3, 4.

Probably the most misunderstood man in the class, “Stan” ; infrequently had a chance to prove his contentions, and unless he was positive, he said very little. Quiet, un­ assuming, he almost passed unnoticed until his humorous comments focussed attention upon him. It was then that ■ we began to fully realize his worth. “Stan’s” light sense of gladness and his conscientiousness as well as his bright outlook should and undoubtedly will bring him the success and happiness he deserves after four years of continuous and zealous study at the Prep. We of the graduating class can only say “Farewell” and “Good luck.”

“Bert” is a man of few words but of deep and serious contemplation. Seldom does this reticent youth enunciate his opinion, but when he does, there is an unfathomable depth of logic and reasoning contained therein. Secondary to the classics, baseball claims the attention of our quies­ cent classmate. He has deserved to the last letter every word of praise that has been heaped upon him by local sports writers for his flashing work about the infield. This deserved and hard earned glory has not changed him in the least. True to his nature, he has not announced his intentions for the future.

Four years ago this diminutive gentleman took an obscure desk in one of the Freshman classrooms. Soon he proved to all of us that he was diminutive in stature alone; for his marks showed that he was a mental giant. He arose from obscurity to command respect from all because of his work. Despite the fact that he worked hard, “Bob” took a very secretive part in all class pranks and he would often sit behind his glasses and chuckle to himself when all the world thought he was stern and had no sense of humor. He continued his terrific pace for four years and during that period his time after school was consumed by many student activities.

“Harold’s” quiet, unassuming nature coupled with his smile is all that is necessary to win him friends anywhere. He is a real pal on whom one can depend. He possesses many sterling qualities, but his chief characteristics are sincerity and uprightness. In his four years no one is more deserving of honorable mention than “Harold.”

We are sure his patience and genius will be justly re­ warded. In the span of our high school course, we have found him to be a man, straightforward, honest and true.

Bayonne has given us a true scholar in the person of ‘Joe,” a typical St. Peter’s man. His cheerful humor and radiating personality will captivate all who come in con­ tact with him. He has shown his exceptional value to his classmates on the basketball court as well as in the classroom. “Joe” is present at all games and social functions of the school, which fact has marked him as a true supporter of Prep activities. We feel sure that “Joe” will make a great success in life and we anticipate the ripening of his early promise.

Charles Hugh Sweeny "H op” S o d ality 1; K .B .S. K 2; Class B a seb all 2.

From the far-famed city of Paterson has come another loyal Prepster, and through the four years, his affability and good nature have endeared him to the hearts of all who knew him. “Hoppo” has always been an eager sup­ porter of Prep activities, athletic or otherwise, and is always ready to lend a hand in any Prep work. Con­ scientious and determined as he is, studies have failed to down him in the search for knowledge. And, too, many a time his ready wit and keen sense of humor broke in upon some monotonous hour of study with a tonic for tired minds. Although it is very difficult, we must say “Farewell.”

Daniel Bernard Sweeny "Dan” F ootball 4; K .B .S. 1, 2, 3, 4; Class B a sk etb all 2; Class B ase­ b a ll 2; P E T R E A N Staff 4.

Carefree, easy-going and full of fun is “Dan.” He has distinguished himself in class by his ingenious ability to solve problems. His humor has lightened the strain of many a Latin period. Willingness to help those in diffi­ culty has won him many friends. A more trustworthy friend than he cannot be found. “Dan” has the true Prep fighting spirit. In time of difficulty he can be de­ pended upon to clear away any obstruction which blocks his path. “Dan” can well look back upon his outstanding achievements with pride. You have done well, “Dan,” your departure leaves a great hole in our hearts.

Four years ago this quiet but likeable lad entered our midst. In him we found the inborn qualities that make a gentleman. Although of a quiet and reserved nature, “Tom” has gained for himself a wide circle of friends by reason of his captivating personality. He has attained success not by boisterous opinions but by serious effort coupled with painstaking care. During his stay with us, he was constantly entertaining us with his winning good humor. May life give its choicest blessings and rewards to you, “Tom.” You may rightfully say, “Veni, vidi vici.”

“Red” comes here from Secaucus and his character and ability speak well for his home town. He is as serious as he is jovial, and we have learned to look to him for a good joke when the occasion for such things arises, and an excellent opinion, or authoritative counsel during his more sober moments. “Red” has ever been a supporter of school activities and now as we leave him, with pro­ found regret, we know his accomplishments will reflect honor and dignity upon St. Peter’s.

When bigger worlds are made to conquer, “Jack” will conquer them. Four years of his genial good nature and eternal smile have left a lasting impression on our hearts that will take more than mere time to erase. Trigonometry problems fade, Physics is put in its place, and even haughty Cicero turns pale before his determined onslaught. They say that “Jack’s” interests lie in the rustic arts as is quite fitting for one coming from the boundless prairies that surround Paterson. With men of his calibre engaged in these occupations, how can the United States fail to advance.

During his four years stay at the Prep, “Tony” has proven himself a gentleman and a good student. With his pleas­ ing disposition and good nature he has conquered the hearts of all who have met him. “Tony” has always tried to succeed and although he may not have achieved victory at first, he has been forever willing to try again. “Tony” has shown an enthusiastic interest in music as a member of the school orchestra. Though musically inclined he believes that his path of success will be found in the spacious field of engineering.

Of all those who stand foremost in our memory, “Dave” will no doubt be the last to pass into oblivion. A skilled worker, of reticent yet persevering manner, dependable and unassuming, with a gracious and genial personality,— comprise “Dave’s” assets. It is with due homage that we rank “Dave” as the outstanding scholastic leader in our class. The manifestation of this ideal character was ever the beacon light in the classroom, in the debating hall H and before public audiences. We are now parting with “Dave” and sending him out to conquer greater things. '

With a quiet smile about his mouth and a roguish light in his dark eyes, “Van” has always been a dynamic char­ acter in the class of ’36. A happy combination of keen intellect and stout heart have brought him to the front more than once. Frequently we have seen “Van” pouring over some philosophical work and as a result of his learned delvings we have had countless interesting and enlighten­ ing discussions in class. This year of ’36 saw “Van” climax a remarkable football career by winning for himself the ' coveted position of “All-County End.” Friend and foe alike have recognized this speedy Petrean as a powerhouse on the field.

:‘Iggy” typifies St. Peter’s best. In affairs of the school, he has always taken a prominent part, thrusting himself wholeheartedly into all scholastic activities. He is an ambitious student and has always kept in the higher rank in studies. Particularly does he excel in Chemistry and Physics and turns' to M ath for recreation. He is always ready for a discussion on these topics and has greatly added to our interest and knowledge of such studies. During his four years at the Prep, he has endeared himself to the hearts of all. Now as he passes through the portals of our school for the last time, we are sad at losing such a valued friend.

In an attempt to truly represent “Bill,” one is limited only by the scope of language. No matter how extrava­ gant our praise may seem, it falls short of the esteem in which “Bill” is held by his friends. When “Bill” assailed the gates of the Prep, we gained a true friend and a sincere student. He has imprinted his personality on the hearts and minds of one and all. There is no doubt but that this impression will remain with us long after graduation. We will remember you, “Bill,” and hope that now and then you will give a thought to us, too.

Four years ago we made the acquaintance of “Joe,” a gentleman of the highest order. His unusual personality and smile have won for him a host of friends. He is always light-hearted and gay, but has often won the praises of his teachers for his smooth flowing Latin translations or English recitations. His determined efforts, we feel sure, will bring him success. We feel that they will carry him to the front, even in the greatest tasks of life. As he leaves the portals of St. Peter’s, “Joe” carries with him the best wishes of the whole graduating class.

A staunch character, a serious mind and a stern deter­ mination underlie his well earned reputation. Always quiet and reserved in every respect, “George” has gained the esteem and admiration of his professors and fellow stu- I dents. Never did a month slip by without “George” receiving his first testimonials. He was constant in his attendance at school affairs, whether social or athletic, and anything that would increase St. Peter’s prestige found a firm supported in him. “Au Revoir” “George,” and may your pinnacle of success be high and your achievements in the world be many.

In 1932 “Wat” signed his name on the dotted line and prepared to weather the test as a student of St. Peter’s.

Although not an athlete himself he has been present at most of the Prep contests, rooting ever mightily for a “Maroon and White” victory. His chief points of char­ acter are his good nature and quietness. In every activity both school and class, this affable gentleman always lent a helping hand, giving of his best, his main ambition being to add to the glory of his Alma Mater. Certainly his wholehearted enthusiasm and labors have been rewarded.

So with these few lines as an everlasting memory of our fellow classmate we bid “Adieu” to Walter.

With this name joy and laughter are always associated.

His jovial spirit has always been a source of consolation to his troubled classmates. But humor alone is not the only attribute that places him high in the esteem of all; for a keen intellect and a willingness to help, have won for him the complete respect of teachers and students alike.

In parting we say “Au Revoir,” to a fellow who has been more than a friend to us. We feel sure that he will succeed in whatever field he will choose. So as he charts his course on life’s wide sea, we, his classmates, wish him a world of success.

We have come to the last man in the book, yet one who occupies a foremost position in our hearts. “Dutch” is an engaging young man, ever ready to smile and never shirking in the performance of his duties. We have always found him a generous, open-hearted youth, in whom school spirit and studies found their proper places. We will always remember “Dutch” for his many good traits. And can we ever forget his marvelous basketball ability? He has not yet told us what course he intends to follow in life.

However, no matter what it may be, we are certain that he will uphold the traditions of St. Peter’s, and that he will attain the success which we, his classmates unite in wishing him.

:

Aug. 16, 1932.

Only the tear in eyes not schooled to tears and only the lump in laughter-loving throats can begin to fathom the grief that enveloped us at Ray’s death. Little Fresh­ man hearts whom Ray had won in his initial year at the Prep hurried from distant parts in the heat of that August day to pay a final tribute to a sterling character.

Ray Rummel was of the silent type. Thus are all strong men. A book of recollec­ tions devotedly compiled by his classmates tell us of his virile deeds: “Raymond departed this world while yet in the bloom of that swift-budding flower called life. In everyday circumstance, Ray was ever the center of a happy crowd of boys all full of impish mischief. Ray in the classroom fully equalled in intellectual endeavors his happy-go-lucky spirit, as proven by his scholastic achievements. And now that he is gone, all of us realize the major part he played in this never-ending drama of life. Let us pray for his soul, knowing we will meet him, face to face in the Great Beyond!”

“Raymond was a gentleman and a Petrean of the highest character. He was known to me for his friendly and pleasing disposition. Ray was studious and very neat in all his work.”

So speak his chums of but one year. Ray was much more than a dear friend to them.

He represented their ideals of a Catholic youth—he was the “beau ideal” of their Fresh­ man hearts. His classmates saw in him an alert mind that was ever-ready to ease the difficulties of a backward student. They hailed him as a true Petrean—loyal to God, devoted to Mary, an honor man of the highest type.

Three years have passed but we have not forgotten Ray. We think often of him and he buoys us up. His spirit shall never die for he is the composite symbol of all that is noble. We look especially to him now as we start on our life career. Don’t forget us Ray. From your heavenly home, guide your classmates.

SENIOR SODALITY CHAPEL

SENIOR SODALITY ’C 'V E R Y Thursday morning at the Prep was Senior Sodality time to one of the largest groups of boys ever to belong to this society of Mary.

This devotion is inspired by a realization of the maternal love which the Blessed M other holds for us, and a feeling of gratitude, deep-seated within us. W ith Father Butler, S.J., our new Moderator, at the helm of Santa M aria, the members of the crew each week sang a hymn and recited the office of the Blessed Virgin or the Rosary or the Immaculate Conception chaplet and during Lent the Stations of the Cross out of personal devotion and love of the M other of God and our Mother. Each week we enjoyed and profited by a short talk on how to purify and strengthen more and more our daily lives through the Immaculate Heart of M ary against the false and poisonous atmosphere of Communistic principles in the world about us today. The most important work was the distribution of Cath­ olic Literature, not only among the Sodalists but also to non-members and especially to those in hospitals. The Sodalists have benefited not only by the prayers and talks at the meetings, but also by the readings and circu­ lation of this Literature. T h e Q ueen’s W o rk , M e sse n g er o f th e Sacred H e a rt, A m e ric a and J e su it M issio n s as well as the latest pamphlets were read. The reading of the pamphlets and spiritual books has met with continued success. The spreading of Catholic Literature has certainly a strong foundation which we trust will rise into a mighty edifice.

SENIOR SODALITY OFFICERS

Q E C O N D in importance, let us pay tribute to those loyal and true ^ Socialists who have planted the seed of Catholic Doctrine in the hearts of Christ’s little ones throughout the various churches of the city by giving their entire Sunday mornings to the teaching of Catechism. True Sodalists are these and members whom the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception at St. Peter’s is proud to have on its list. T o these we extend heartfelt congratulations for the sacrifice and patience which was theirs in this undertaking.

The missions have been aided considerably by the work of the Sodality.

The proceeds from the annual raffle for mission funds netted about $800.00 this year. W ith a true Christian charity and filled with the spirit of self-sacrifice, the student body responded to the cries of the missions for funds, by voluntarily depositing, during Lent, whatever could be spared in the mite boxes which were placed in each classroom. Congratulations m ust be extended to the boys for their zeal and good will in contributing frequently and generously to these boxes. Aiding them in still another way was the zealous work of the boys in collecting stamps. Behind this, as in every activity of the Sodality, have been the Sodalists with their whole-hearted support.

The organization of the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament, more com­ monly known to the boys as the K .B.S., is distinct from but related to the Sodality in spirit, “Jesus et Maria sint tecum in via.” The purpose of these Knights of the Blessed Sacrament, who promise to attend M ass and to receive Communion every Friday morning is to foster a personal devotion to Our D ivine Lord in the Sacrament. Remarkable in this, work were the ever increasing numbers and a strictly religious atmosphere.

PETREAN This past school year marks an event never to be forgotten in the Sodality history. Our first annual Sodality Social was held on Feb. 24 in St. Peter’s Auditorium. The chairman was Eugene Ertle and he was ably assisted in his task by a com m ittee chosen by Father Bellwoar, S.J. T o all those who assisted in making this first Social a success and espe­ cially to Father Butler and Father Purcell, the Sodality extends its sincerest thanks.

H aving depicted a brief description of the activities of the Sodality and the m any benefits enjoyed by its members, we the officers and members of the Sodality wish to congratulate and thank all those who have helped to make this past year so successful. The men chosen to lead us were: Gene Ertle, Prefect, of Class 4B ; Cyril Fitzpatrick of Class 4B, Secretary; John Collins of Class 4C, our reliable organist, and Martin Leahy of Class 3A, our faithful Sacristan. T he consultors of each class also deserve a special word of thanks for the interest they have shown in the work of the Sodality.

Although this summary is intended primarily as a record of the activities of the Sodality, let us pause for a moment to thank one who endeared him self to us and to whom, in great part, we owe our success, in the work of the Senior Sodality. D ue to the untiring efforts of Father Butler, S.J., our Student Counsellor and Moderator of the Sodality, we have attained heights previously unsealed. All we can ever say or do will never be sufficient for us to show our appreciation to you, Father, for your priestly advice and your willing and generous cooperation and spiritual guidance.

Among the interesting talks and lectures given to the Sodalists this past year, we m ust not pass over the very delightful visits and instructive lectures given us by Father George M cDonald, S.J., a very zealous mis­ sionary from Jamaica, B. W. I., and Father James Haggerty, S.J., a zealous worker in the W oodstock Stamp Exchange for the Philippine Missions.

N ew s of Father M cD onald’s death reached us some weeks ago. R. I. P., and although we regret to have heard such news, we are better sodalists for having known you— Father!

SECOND YEAR SODALITY n p H E Second Year Sodalists every W ednesday morning under the guidance of Father Bellwoar, S.J., their Moderator, m anifested their filial love and devotion to Our M other. The attendance at their first meeting was approximately seventy-five, who remained loyal and faithful to Our Queen during the remainder of the year.

Our group of about three score and ten always led in the spreading of Catholic Literature, in the collection of stamps, in the mite-box offerings and in various other good works. Frequent visits were made to the Medical Center by Father Bellwoar, S.J., and volunteers to distribute Catholic Literature. Sermonettes were given by our Moderator concerning “The Catholic Persecution in M exico and The Catholic Press M onth.” During the year chaplets and miraculous medals were distributed to the ever faithful Sodalists. During the meetings the Rosary was said as was the Little Office of the Imm aculate Conception. Hymns were sung ending the meeting.

The Annual Sodality Social proved a great success. A large number of boys and girls attended. It was the first of its kind at the Prep. To Father Butler, S.J., Father Bellwoar, S.J., and Father Purcell, S.J., and also to the committee in charge, much thanks is due in making it successful.

The officers of the Second Year Sodality were: Edward Roemke, Pre­ fect; W illiam Hogan, Sub-Prefect; Thomas Burns, Secretary; and Harry M cEvoy, Sacristan. The consul tors were: Gerald M ullen 2-A, Raymond Keenan 2-B, James Byron 2-C, and Raymond Corballis 2-D. To the Moderator, the officers and the consultors, do we express our appreciation for the good that has been accomplished and the intense interest that has been shown at our weekly tributes, to Mary, Our Lady.

FIRST YEAR SODALITY n r H E First Year Sodality under the guidance of Father Purcell, has A achieved m ost of its ambitions. One of the most important works of the Sodality has been the semi-monthly visits to the local hospital which is run by the Franciscan nuns. These visits were made by boys picked at the Sodality meeting of that day. M agazines and pamphlets on reli­ gious subjects, contributed by the Sodalists were distributed among the men and boy patients. N uns at the hospital reported that the men eagerly looked forward to this event in the routine week.

A Catholic Action Scrapbook was started this year. Scissors in young hands attacked old copies of magazines salvaging for permanent record and reference many an excellent article on Catholic Action, the need of it and its result.

At Christmas, the Sodalists, in accord with their custom, contributed gifts for the patients at St. Francis Hospital. These gifts helped to brighten the Christmastide for those who were not able to be up and around on the day of the birth of Him W ho is the comfort of the poor and the afflicted. The most expensive gift made to hospital patients was an electric train with full equipment, a donation furnished by Smedley of Second Year. The boy recipient was made hugely happy with this gift.

An important devotion to the Blessed Mother has been introduced into the Sodality. This is the Rosary of the Immaculate Conception. Special indulgences are attached to the recitation of these Beads. The Sodalists welcomed the devotion.

Officers and consultors helped to maintain amongst the Sodalists the Sodality spirit of prayer and practical zeal for souls. Here are their names: Prefect, Kerwin; Assistant Prefect, Reddy; Secretary, O’Connell; Sacristan, Kennedy; Consultors: Beronio of A; Maroney of B; Jordan of C; Williams of D ; Lahiff of E; and M cEntee of M.

MISSIONARIES

o

N E of the most noteworthy activities undertaken by the Senior Sodality is that of teaching Catechism in several parishes of the county.

Each Sunday morning a group of young Sunday-School teachers, consisting of M essrs. Bosworth, Burke, Byron, Brady, Keenan, M ullin, Leahy, Phillips, R ackley and W est, instruct children at the parish of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in this city. The youngsters are taught Bible H istory and Christian Doctrine. A large number of them are being prepared for their First Communions, and some for Confirmation. The participation of these Prepsters in this work is a very vital contribution towards preserving the faith in a large parish of the city. Our Lady of M t. Carmel lacks a paro足 chial school; so without the Sunday School the children would never be properly educated in the truths of their religion. Approximately three hundred children attend. Besides, M essrs. Ertle, Soden, and Burke are engaged in the same type of labor in their respective home parishes. All these men, sacrificing time and effort for the work of Our Lady, deserve the highest commendation. However, they will find the sweetest reward in the next world.

first meeting of this Senior Debating Society of St. Peter’s

Prep a large, representative group of students enrolled.

They were

boys who wished to participate in a worth while extra-curricular activity, which would prove of great practical value to them in later life.

Many,

perhaps, nourished ambitions of the pulpit, the political arena or the bar.

In his prefatory remarks, our Moderator, Mr. M cHugh, S.J., told us of the value of the ability to speak well even in ordinary everyday life.

A t the next meeting the executive and the other officers of our Society were duly elected.

The following assem bly saw the august personage of

Mr. David Valenti in the President’s chair; Mr. Nutzel, vice president; and Mr. DeVoursney, our able and efficient scribe.

After that, every Thursday saw the Society in full swing.

Every member

participated in some debate or aired his views from the floor in post-debate discussion.

Such lively topics as the following were argued: “Resolved

that Italy is justified in invading Ethiopia,” “Resolved that there should be two years’ compulsory military training,” “Control of public utilities,”

“Child Labor,” “Lobbying,” and “Consolidation of Hudson County into one M unicipality.”

You can well imagine the verbal gunfire that shattered the

quiet of our pleasant hall when such subjects were dissected and analyzed.

Surely no one suffered boredom.

But our society was a progressive institution and would not be held within its walls.

Courageous crusaders went forth far and wide to fight

the menace of Communism.

N otable among these was the Federation

meeting of H oly N am e societies of Bergen County, at which all the parishes of Bergen were represented.

W e hope the humble efforts of the Society in

this direction have at least made a few more citizens of the U. S. A. aware of the Red M enace.

Forensic engagements took place with other Jesuit Schools of the M etropolitan Area.

Informal debates were held with Regis, Fordham

Prep and Brooklyn Prep.

Valuable experience and keen enjoyment were

gained by both sides.

Friendly relations too were cemented more strongly

between the schools.

Formal debates were held with St. Joseph’s High

School, W est N ew York, Brooklyn Prep, Dickinson Evening and Regis.

Another activity of the Beaudevin Debating Society was the presenting

of interesting and worthwhile debates before various H oly Nam e Societies and Knights of Columbus councils.

Again fine experience in public speak­

ing was gained by the debaters who participated.

The greatest advantage

of this work was its effect in making Catholic men of the country conscious of and better-informed of current topics.

For the second term the new officers were Mr. Barrett, president; Mr. Wilson, vice-president, and Mr. W est, secretary.

These men were capable

and qualified, and our confidence that they would guide the society to a successful term was amply justified.

Every student who belonged to the society gained something from it.

Some acquired poise and ability as orators, some a clearer knowledge of parliamentary procedure, but all received a broader, more intelligent appreciation and understanding of the social and economic problems con­ fronting the nation.

A fitting conclusion to a very practical and enjoyable season was the annual prize debate.

Those who had the honor to engage in this, the peak

of the forensic year, were: John Collins, George West, John Botti, John Carr, Thomas Barrett and George Degelmann.

THE MULRY DEBATING SOCIETY '~ p H E initial assembly of the Society was held in September and was attended by a large group of boys, fired with the aim of developing their powers of speech. At this meeting the moderator of the Society addressed the members, briefly sketching the plans for the coming year.

At a later session the election of officers was held and the successful candidates were: Mr. James Carmody, President; Mr. Edward Monahan, Vice-President; and Mr. James Conniff, Secretary. The meetings of the Society were m ost interesting from every standpoint and the frequent bursts of oratory from prepared and “pro tempore” speakers showed that the members of the Society had grasped its true spirit and purpose.

A t the last meeting of the Society for the first term, the mock trial of Mr. James Carmody was held. This gentleman was indicted for “unjustly impugning the intelligence of the members of the Society.” After a very brilliant defense the jury so quickly and decisively voted his acquittal, that not only was President Carmody cleared of all guilt, but the trial showed clearly how good and capable a chairman he had been.

In the mid-year election the new officers were: Mr. Edward Gillen, President; Mr. Bernard K elly, Vice-President; and Mr. James Donlan, Secretary. Just as the meetings of the first semester were interesting, so were the meetings of the second semester characterized by the same interest and enthusiasm of all the members. On leaving the Society we have a full realization of the invaluable training we have received in self-expression, and we feel that the efforts we have made, when it would have been easier to “shoot a few baskets,” have not been in vain.

THE COLLINS DEBATING SOCIETY SECTION A 'Y 'H E first meeting of the Collins Debating Saciety was held on September 25, 1935. An exceptionally good attendance at this meeting indicated that the Freshmen appreciated the fact that they enjoyed the privilege of having a debating society and were anxious to avail themselves of the opportunities for self development afforded by it. At this opening meeting, our Moderator, Mr. M cAnaney, S.J., briefly outlined the aims and purposes of the society and the way in which we would go about attaining them.

Father Dwyer, our Prefect of Studies, likewise said a few words of encouragement and exhortation to the members at this our first meeting.

During the year, we have confined our debates chiefly to such subjects as could be found in the daily papers and hence would not involve much research or loss of time for preparation. From our weekly discussions, we have at least made a beginning towards the acquirement of real facility in preparing, delivering and judging debates.

W e have elected officers to assist our Moderator in carrying on the business of the society. These officers have shown themselves able and willing assistants on all occasions and such success as we have enjoyed in realizing our aims as set down at the beginning of the year, has been due in great part to their efforts in cooperation with Mr. McAnaney. Our officers were: Peter Beronio, President; Raymond Kerwin, Vice President; Hans Albert, Secretary.

The year is drawing to a close and we sincerely hope that the majority of those who have been faithful in attendance will continue their efforts to uphold the various debating societies at the Prep.

THE COLLINS DEBATING SOCIETY SECTION B T IO N B of the Collins Debating Society draws its membership from SE Cclasses 1-B and 1-E. ft was under the direction of Mr. M cClelland and the thirty-six members enjoyed a lively and interesting season. Each member debated at least once, and various system s were used. All the current questions were discussed and analyzed by the moderator, then debated by the speaker of the following week and finally disposed of by the open forum which was the closing feature of each meeting.

The second meeting of December was distinguished by the fact that Section B then acted as host to Section A. A team from each section debated the perennial and nicely-balanced question of the Jury System.

Section B , defending the affirmative of the proposition, “Resolved that the Jury System be abolished,� was judged the winner. H ynes, Varley and M cCarthy represented the Section B. The questions which aroused the greatest interest in the course were those relating to the Olympic Games and the Supreme Court. In the interests of variety, a subject differing from the one chosen for debate was sometimes used for the open forum.

Parliamentary procedure was followed faithfully and m eticulously at all times, but its restrictions in no way hampered the liveliness or spontaneity of the meetings. The society was conducted on the principle that to be profitable debating should be spirited and enjoyable, and with this principle in mind the Society enjoyed a most profitable and interesting season.

LIBRARY second year of the Library at its new site in the Senior Building was a T HEcomplete success. Situated on the second floor, it has been easy of access and has served the student body efficiently. That it is fully appreciated by the student body can be easily proven if one were to pay it a visit any time it is open. In the morning before school, at lunch time and after school one can always see a large number of Prepsters crossing its threshold. In fact it is usually so crowded around the 12.30 period that the moderator has to stand guard in the doorway and admit students only after a few from the inside have left.

Wishing to learn what mystic power draws these eager students, let us follow them inside. Here we discover the treasures they are seeking. We learn that the past year was quite eventful for the library and its literary followers. Among other things the number of new books purchased was surprising. To the large number of books which already rest in none too peaceful repose upon the shelves were added: North to the Orient; Seven League Boots; Ruggles of Red Gap; Discovery; Lucy Grayheart; Life with Father; Mutiny on the Bounty; Pitcairn Island; Men against the Sea; and many other favorites. The reception these books received was still more surprising. The moment they were ready for circulation, before the clock had ticked off IS minutes, they had, disappeared, each and every one of them. The less fortunate students, who had come too late for these jewels, had to content themselves by putting their names on the waiting list. But even then they read them from cover to cover and eagerly cried for more.

Off in one side of the library we find the magazine rack. It is the library’s proud boast that its magazine rack equals that of any Prep school in the country. Here indeed is a magazine lover’s paradise.

And now as we leave the library and close its door upon another memorable year, let us depart with a grateful “Thank You” to Mr. James J. Ball, S.J., Mr. George McAnaney, S.J., and to the efficient staff of student librarians consisting of James Quinlan, Mark Burke, James Conniff, Henry Lavin, Edward Monahan, John Crotty and Martin Leahy.

THE PETREAN ORCHESTRA TN K E E P IN G with the high standards of all its activities, St. Peter’s boasts of a fine Orchestra. It is interesting to look back to one day three years ago when the first call was sent out for candidates, and to picture the handful of eager but inexperienced musicians that turned out.

It is hard to believe that any orchestra could progress with such rapid strides. But each year has added to its numbers, and constant practice has enlarged its repertoire, until that orchestra which rendered as its first selection the feeble strains of “D id You Ever See A Dream ” now offers “The Student Prince” with a technique of which it m ay well be proud.

A t the School Play and on various other occasions for which the Petreans played, a heavy applause has always given proof of the quality of their work. On the whole the Orchestra has enjoyed a very successful season; its success is due in part to the members who so regularly gave up one afternoon each week for practice, but principally to the patient and capable direction of Professor W alters and the kind assistance and supervision of Father Bellwoar, S.J.

P R E P D EFEA TS FERRIS The Maroon’s untried eleven opened its campaign on a brilliant sunlighted gridiron at the Jersey City High School’s Field against a supposedly weak Ferris eleven. Prep came to test the strength of a newly organized eleven and found it defective enough for three touch­ downs. The very aptly clad Green and White gridders fought courageously but the evident superiority of the Prep was soon revealed. In the first quarter the “Bulldogs” playing an overhead game, held the Prep scoreless. However the second quarter opened with a thrilling 56 yard run by Charlie Jamin, who, after two first downs, went through center for the first tally. Jam in also converted from placement. Shortly after Prep regained possession of the ball on a punt and Jamin immediately tossed a 25 yard pass to English. Jamin gained 9 yards and on the next play tossed to Jimmie Lyons over the goal line. Jamin again converted via placement. At this point, several substitutes carried on for Prep as the half ended. The Petreans recovered a Ferris fumble early in the third quarter. Jamin carried the ball over on the next play. This time Jam in’s attempt via placement was blocked. Again a number of substitutes entered the game. Jamin, Eugene McCarthy and Lyons starred in the Prep backfield, while English and Van Bemmell performed brilliantly on the line.

“UNDERDOGS” TRA M PLE OVER COCKY U N IO N H IL L ELEV EN The following Saturday found the Maroon eager to improve on the showing of the previous week at the expense of the Orange and Blue. Attacking through the air in the early moments of the game, the Prep, with Charlie Jam in hurling “thread-needle” passes: to Charlie Gallagher and Jimmie Lyons scored twice and sent the “beefy” Union Hillers into a state of bewilderment from which they did not recover until the final period.

Exhibiting cohesion of line and backfield, the Petreans also showed offensive power. Two minutes after the game bad begun Prep gained possession of the ball on the Union’s 40 yard line for clipping. Three plays j two Of which were passes to Gallagher, resulted in a touchdown by the latter. Jam in converted from placement.

Again in the second quarter Jam in tossed a IS yard pass to Lyons who, executing some clever running, went 20 yards for the second touchdown. Jamin again converted from place­ ment. Several plays later Van Bemmel intercepted Shader’s attempted lateral to Coniglio.

Here Jam in’s placement was wide. Again, shortly after the kick-off Union Hill took to the air but Cohalan intercepted Shader’s attempted forward and ran 35 yards for a touchdown.

Jam in converted via placement.

In the final quarter Union Hill scored twice against the Petrean second team but did not display any sparkling football. Prep’s victory, made impressive because of its effectiveness in tackling and blocking, also its alertness and rhythm of backfield shift showed that it was the team to be stopped by aspirers of the county championship.

COUNTY GRID LEADER IN DOUBT EMERSON 6—PREP 6 A much harder task confronted our warriors this Saturday. The much heralded “donnybrook” promised when the Prep and Emerson High tangledi on the gridiron provided all the anticipated action this Saturday but left the probable outcome of the county race still shrouded in doubt.

Prep started the opening period in a manner suggestive of last week’s ramp over Union Hill. Mid-way through the opening quarter Charley Jamin went 15 yards around his own left end and two more running plays advanced the ball to the 4 yard line, but Harry Leber fumbled as he reached the goal line and the ball rolled into the end-zone for an automatic One hundred ten

PETREAN

touchback. Immediately after Pasini fumbled and Howley recovered to give Prep possession of the ball on Emerson’s 11 yard stripe. Two plays moved the ball to the 8 yard line, where Jamin passed to Lyons for Prep’s score. Jam in’s try from placement was smothered.

Emerson scored in the second period after a long pass, Servideo to Vrankin, which put the ball on the 2 yard marker and from here, Hanak plowed over for Emerson’s touchdown.

On the extra point try, the pass from center went over Servideo’s head and he was stopped trying to run the ball back.

Jam in’s excellent kicking saved the Prep from serious situations in the second half.

Whatever advantage Emerson gained, Charley would erase by decisively outkicking Pasini.

Jamin, along with English and Leber were outstanding while Lyons was the “Galloping Ghost in Maroon and White”.

PETR EA N S DOW N ST. CECILIA ’S TO RETA IN UNBEA TEN STATUS ST. CECILIA’S 0—PREP 9 The Prep held its place among the state’s undefeated scholastic elevens Saturday by taking a 9-0 decision from the St. Cecilia’s High gridders of Englewood at White Stadium in the “Only City”. The Prep had the better part of the play throughout the contest but lacked the necessary spark to score several other touchdowns when they had excellent opportunities.

One hundred eleven

PETREAN

In the first stanza Prep picked up two points as Wurm, Englewood center, passed the ball over Echol’s head and out of the end zone for an automatic safety. Starting on their own 30 yard stripe, the Petreans ripped the St. Cecilia’s line to pieces and punctured the secondary with several well timed passes in a dazzling 65 yard advance which ended as Charlie Jamin plunged across the final white stripe from the four yard marker.

Although Jamin scored the Prep’s only touchdown and broke loose on his 60 yard jaunt just before the end of the game, it was Gene McCarthy, ably assisted by his namesake Bob, who were really Prep stars. Gene was in the thick of every play and turned in a sensational performance on the defense. In addition, he really carried the “mail” on the attack, ripping off gains of from five to fifteen yards every time he lugged the ball. Driscoll, Van Bemmel and English turned in sterling performances on the line.

P R E P FALLS FROM UNBEATEN RANKS Election day found the Petreans eager for action at the Jersey City High School’s field.

With perfect football weather, the Maroon and White responded by playing 46 minutes of rock-ribbed football only to be beaten by “Old Man Jinx”. The Prep football fortress, previously impregnable against four assaults fell in the dying moments as Lincoln, overlooking possibilities of a fake kick, stepped into a ten man line and partially blocked Jam in’s attempted punt which fell into the arms of a Lincoln guard, Kostereva, on the five yard marker, the latter carrying the pigskin over the payoff boundary.

With the opening of the second half the Prep, fighting as only a Lincoln fray can make them, led by E. McCarthy, showed some classy football. Lincoln offered a serious offensive threat in Bernie Flaherty, Blue and White captain, but the Prep was able to stop him whenOne hundred twelve

^f|

PETREAN ever a score seemed imminent.

Gene M cCarthy and Charlie Jam in carried on the Prep’s

offensive and proved a real menace to the Blue and White at all times.

Prep’s defense was

practically impenetrable with Van Bemmel, Driscoll and Howley, standing out in the forward wall.

Lincoln had several big opportunities when it reached the one-yard stripe and earlier in the fray made a first down on the Prep’s nine yard line.

However the superbness of the

Maroon defense once more asserted itself and the attem pts at scoring were frustrated.

Like­

wise the Prep had a pair of scoring opportunities, but failed to capitalize on either Cohalan’s interception in the third period th a t gave the Prep the ball on the ten-yard stripe or in the fourth period when Prep advanced to the nine yard marker on a pass to Gallagher, but a fourth down pass was grounded in the end-zone.

Bob Van Bemmel proved to be of much annoyance to the Slanemen.

Time after time he

piled up the interference and mowed down the ball-carrier’s attem pt to circle his end.

He

drove hard into the play to prevent off-tackle gains and was in on top of Flaherty on every Lincoln pass, spilling the Lincoln captain for big losses.

His tackling was deadly at all times.

Two rugged lines of granite mold battled each other to a veritable standstill, but, as a feather caught in the vagaries of a capricious breeze is suspended motionless for a moment and then driven far afield so too, did the tide of battle change as a punt was partially blocked.

P R E P NOSES OUT BROOKLYN Recovering its poise, following last week’s setback, the Petreans rode to victory over a fighting Brooklyn Prep outfit. A placement boot, 36 yards long, but only six inches higher than the bar, earned the Petreans a 9-7 victory over Brooklyn Prep.

Charlie Jamin provided

the motive power behind the pay-off kick, midway through the fourth period to give our Maroon warriors a 9-0 advantage which proved sufficient to offset a last minute aerial barrage

by Si Titus.

A brilliant pass from Charlie Gallagher to H arry Leber, who grabbed the ball out of the mist and scooted along the sidelines for 30 yards, accounted for the Prep touchdown in the third period.

Here Jam in kicked wide of the uprights.

Still not satisfied, the Petreans con­

tinued to carry the fight into their heavier adversaries’ territory and early in the fourth quarter penetrated to Brooklyn’s 20 yard marker.

Two line plays netted but three yards and at this

point, Jam in dropped back and split the uprights with a perfect placement kick.

Jamin, Leber and E. M cCarthy proved to be a dangerous ball-carrying trio and Gallagher a fine blocker.

Howley, Driscoll and Van Bemmel stood out in the Petrean forward

wall, several times nailing the Blue and White pegger for big losses.

PETREAN P R E P ’S A ER IA L D E FE N SE FA ILS AGAINST BAYONNE Prep lined up against the “Oil City” residents at the Bayonne Stadium before a crowd of 8,000 rabid fans.

The Garnet and White, entertaining serious intention of winning the county

championship were determined to crush the Petreans, who, equally determined to win, battled to a 7-7 tie until the waning moments of the last quarter when Sadowski passed to M clver for the second touchdown.

The maroon team swept the “Leemen” completely off their feet during the first half and pushed across for a touchdown on a spectacular SO yard run by H arry Leber in the second quarter. W ith the opening of the third quarter Bayonne opened a furious attack which ended in a score.

Battling on even terms, in the waning moments of the last period, Sadowski

again passed to M clver for a duplicate score.

The Petreans opened a vicious attack, but,

time was short and the contest ended with the boys in maroon on the short end of the score.

Sadowski, M clver and Gallagher starred for the ^Leemen'' but their performances were eclipsed by the dazzling ones turned in by Leber and Jam in who accounted for the Maroon score. Van Bemmel, Driscoll and English-stood out in the forward wall,

H IL L T O P P E R S GRASP O PPO R T U N IT IE S TO CONQUER PETR EA N S DICKINSON 12—ST. P E T E R ’S 0 A rehabilitated Dickinson High eleven, exuding a spirit of either “Do or Die” defeated the “Haunted Petreans”.

The Petreans, victims of a “blood-thirsty”, “spirited, eleven” were

not badly out-played as statistics could show. Hilltop gained 57 yards on passes to Prep’s 36 yards, this being the only department where the Prep found themselves at a loss. On top of this Charley Jamin was able to completely outpunt his long-kicking rival, D ’Amico.

However the missing punch in the Prep’s offensive when within scoring distance was not lacking when Hilltop drove near the goal line. The lack of punch on the offense along with three heart-breaking fumbles tells the true story of this traditional conflict and its final out­ come.

Hilltop scored late in the first quarter as two passes netted SO yards to bring the ball to the 1 yard line. A power plunge netted only a bare half yard as the Petrean forwards dug in, and a try at tackle lost a yard. On the next play Steidel hemmed in by the Prep linemen on an apparent lateral pass play, flipped a disputed short forward pass over the goal line which was taken by Woychyshyn for a touchdown. D ’M atlo’s kick went wild.

Prep could have scored in the second period when Leber, with a clear field before him, knocked down a forward pass intended for Corridan. Had he succeeded in getting a grip on the pigskin, he undoubtedly would have scored.

Another Hilltop score came in the final period when Steidel plunged for 20 yards off tackle to the Petrean 20 yard line. Steidel advanced two more yards off left tackle while D ’M atto plunged through center to register a first down on the 9 yard line. D’M atto carried it over on the next play.

BASKETBALL — l935-'36 T)EC A U SE of the lack of facilities for practice and the great losses incurred during ^ previous seasons the Prep withdrew from the competition of the Hudson County League. That this news was well received by the student body is evidenced by the fact that over one hundred students enrolled on the squad.

From these Tommy Meyers finally selected his first five, Syl Upton and Butch Clancy in the fore court, Gene E rtle at center and H arry Leber and Dutch Zimmerman in the guard positions. T hat five took the court on Dec. 19 against St. Michael’s of J. C. A t the end of the first half the score was tied, 11-11. In the third quarter the Prep put on a great exhibition and had an easy time winning the game, 24-15. The highlights of the game were Gene E rtle’s scoring of seven points and the excellent passing of Clancy.

St. P eter’s next hit a one game losing streak and went down to defeat at the hands of a far superior St. Benedict’s team by the one-sided score, 39-18. The Petreans were glorious in defeat. Outclassed from the first whistle they fought hard throughout the struggle and gave a fine exhibition of a fighting five. Ertle paced with nine points, while Leber’s defense work was one of the outstanding features of the game. The next game returned St. P eter’s to the right side of the ledger as they vanquished St. Agnes of College Point by the close score of 26-21. I t was hotly contested by the losers and the outcome was in doubt until the last whistle. Upton put on a fine show of offensive basketball.

The Prepsters had their caps set for Bayonne High School but their hopes were crushed. A first quarter of inactiveness gave Bayonne the lead, 14-2. The Prep fought hard throughout the rest of the game but lost, 28-12. Woods led the scoring with four points, in this, his first varsity game.

The next scheduled game was J. J. Ferris. The starting line-up differed from previous games. Joe Woods played forward and Clancy replaced Zimmerman at guard. The newly discovered Woods had little difficulty in scoring fourteen points and led St. Peter’s to a 37-22 victory.

In the sixth game of the season St. Peter’s defeated Loyola of N. Y. on their home court. The Prep led all the way from whistle to whistle, and when the score was tallied it stood 40-25. Upton hit his top form in this game with eighteen points. Bowe of Loyola almost equalled him, scoring seventeen points. St. Peter’s College Frosh were mowed down by a fast moving Petrean five by the score of 35-23. All of the Prepsters played exceptionally good ball and outclassed their rivals throughout the game.

Rather short sighted officiating and a few costly mistakes caused St. Peter’s to drop a game to Brooklyn Prep 21-20. This game was what can be termed a “heart breaker.”

Regis was swamped by a hard-playing St. Peter’s five by the score of 31-16. Upton’s One hundred sixteen

amassing of thirteen points and defense work paved the way for the victory. Bay­ onne High School were our next rivals. Because of the outcome of the first game and as Ertle was unable to play, the hopes of the Petreans dwindled as thegame ap­ proached. The fears of the fans were all in vain for it was a determinedPrep team with Riordan replacing Ertle that took the floor for the game. With an early start the Prep was leading at the half 18-8. Never before did the Prep show such power as they did in the second half when they scored twenty-four points and held Bayonne to four­ teen. The final score was 42-22. Once again Upton led with sixteen points.

The Prep had little difficulty in disposing of Ferris forthe second time by the score of 35-10. The next game was probably one of the hardest games the Petreans played all season. A strong Xavier team, one of the best in New York, dropped this rough game to the Prep, 27-22. The game in the third quarter, resolved itself into a “free-forall” when both teams went at it “hammer and tongs.”

The following game was St. Peter’s last loss of the regular season. This game went to St. Benedict’s, on their home court by the score of 45-21. Harry Leber played the best game he ever played for St. Peter’s but his efforts were futile before a heavier and older five. With Upton scoring ten points and Ertle passing exceptionally well St. Peter’s vanquished St. Michael’s for the second time by the score of 36-11.

With five games more to be played the Prep was faring better than it had in many years.

There were five games, all of them hard, but none too hard for our great team. In the first tussle we met Fordham Prep on their home court. Losing 14-3 at the end of the first quarter, the Petreans showed unsurpassable power to win 24-20. This showing was largely due to the playing of Ertle and Leber. Regis was next on our schedule and de­ spite hard officiating and our unfamiliarity with the court the Prep was victorious 30-21.

With Ertle amassing nine points, the Prep defeated Snyder in a hotly contested game at the Snyder gym. Woods played excellent ball throughout the game. The final score was 28-16. In an exciting and thrilling game Xavier again received the brunt of the Petrean power and went down to defeat 23-21. A last minute rally of Xavier’s which threatened to kill St. Peter’s lead was cut short by the final whistle. The last game of the regular season Was played with Loyola in Collins gym. Despite the fact that Leber One hundred seventeen

PETREAN and Upton were unable to play, the Prep had an easy time of it winning 32-12. Joe Mc­ Bride hitherto unheralded, led the scoring with six points. Thus did St. Peters close their season. By winning ten of their last eleven games the Petreans have brought their record up to fifteen victories out of nineteen tries. This was a great season for St. Peter’s, and the outlook for the Jesuit and the K. of C. tournaments was bright.

JESUIT TOURNAMENT Last year St. Peter’s were champions of the Jesuit High Schools in the Metropoli­ tan district. This year, as defending champs, they were favored to win. In the first game on March 4, Regis went down to defeat before the Prep five to the tune of a 33-20 score. Upton’s scoring of fifteen points in this game was one of the high­ lights of the tournament. This was the first competitive game in two seasons which Manager Bob McCarthy missed. Victory in this game caused us to immediately enter the finals. Therefore on Friday, March 13, we contested with Brooklyn Prep.

Losing 6-3 at the close of the first period, St. Peter’s barely nosed out their rivals to lead 13-11 at the half. However Brooklyn Prep again took the lead 16-15 in the third quarter. With three minutes to play, the Prep was trailing by the score 18-16.

Then “Gene” Ertle stole the show. First scoring a foul shot, he brought us within one point of our opponents. Then, with twenty seconds left to play, he scored a sen­ sational basket which gave us the championship, 19-18. The trophies were presented to Captain Leber. Manager McCarthy accepted the individual medals in the name of the team and the tournament ball was given to “Gene” Ertle. Thus closed St. Peter’s 1935-36 basketball season. This was the farewell game of Captain “Harry” Leber, “Gene” Ertle, “Butch” Clancy, “Dutch” Zimmerman, “Chuck” Soden, “Scotty” McNeill, and Manager “Bob” McCarthy, Prep’s official scorekeeper, a squad which has brought honor and glory to the Prep.

BROOKLYN K. OF C. TOURNAMENT On Thursday, March 5, St. Peter’s took the floor in the Brooklyn K. of C. Tourna­ ment against St. Michael’s. Our high hopes were crushed in the second quarter.

Then it became evident that St. Michael’s men were too good for us. The final score was 33-20. It is to be noted that sports writers and followers of the tournament agree that Ertle played the best game played by any single man on a losing team and one of the best games of the tournament. Leber and Upton almost equalled him.

PETREAN

TRACK 1935-36 J T IS one of the unavoidable handicaps of the Prep’s budding track team that the P e tre a n

winds its weary way to press when the season is just beginning.

For

this reason, we must pick up the threads of our narrative from ’way back in ’35, when the “four horsemen,” Simko, Hawkes, O’Neill and Nevin first began to blaze their meteoric course over the grilling cinder path.

In their first dual meet, the Prep by a

very close and much disputed decision was nosed out by St. Michael’s of Jersey City.

The expedition to Philadelphia for the annual Penn Relays started under favorable auspices, but what with flat tires, cramped quarters and a sandwich for dinner, the Prep finished a not inglorious fifth place.

To the everlasting credit of the Prep cinder men, it can be said that these setbacks only spurred the team to greater efforts.

In the Hoboken Memorial Day meet, with

“Charlie” Gallagher subbing for the doughty Simko, the Prep pulled up from fifth to second place by “Patty” O’Neill’s clever running.

Hawkes, by his steady gruelling

pace, put the Prep in first place on the third 440 yard lap, George Nevin in true form, amidst the click of Graflexes and the cheers of the spectators, broke the tape for an undisputed first place.

The cup and gold medals contributed not a little to enkindle

the spirit of the Prep’s tracksters.

Invited by Mr. James Maloney to enter a mile relay team in the Holy Name Federa­ tion Meet at Pershing Field, the first string relay team thundered over the course to One hundred nineteen

1936

PETREAN another first place, closely, but not too closely pursued by their rivals and former victors.

For this race we cannot praise any one man without praising all and to all

is due a well-earned congratulation.

The vicissitudes of the ’36 track endeavors are too long to relate in detail, but thanks to. the kindness of Mr. Muench and Major Esterly, the Prep began to practice in the' Jersey City Armory.

Under the able and enthusiastic coaching of Mr. John Gar-

barini, a St. Peter’s College alumnus, and Lawrence Buckley, the manager, the squad was whipped into shape.

The Dickinson Meet, Hoboken, Memorial and Penn Relays

are a few of the highlights that the Coach and Mr. Quevedo, S J., are anticipating as part of an extensive schedule. To those who have run in the past, we extend our sincerest congratulations and thanks—to those who aspire to glory on the cinder course we have but one word—the Prep has fine runners but only a few of them are wearing uniforms.

PETREAN

A FRIENDLY TALK We who have found a genuine source of enjoyment in the pages of the 1935 P e t r e a n are indebted in no small way to the business men who so generously contributed to our adver­ tising section.

These men believe that the spirit of all St.

Peter’s men is such that it will evince itself in the patronage of those who have shown their friendly spirit to St. Peter’s Prep.

It is only just that we at the Prep should help those who have helped, us.

When we have business to give, let us favor

our real friends who have made possible this publication, those who believe in us and in everything linked up with St. Peter’s.

In a word then, let us PA T R O N IZ E O UR A D V E R T ISE R S
