DEDICA TION

To our President, the Rev. Vincent J. Hart,

S.J., we dedicate this 1944 PET RE AN since, even

before his coming into our midst, his wide ex­

perience in the educational field fitted him to

understand and guide our endeavors, physical,

intellectual and moral, in accord with the prin­

ciples underlying that Christian education whose

object is to secure Peace — the tranquillity of

order — not only in our own individual lives

but throughout the world.

Seniors Recollect:Smiling faces, touched with a little anxiety, creases o f expectation scattered over

shining, freshly-scrubbed foreheads marked the milling group of embryo Prepmen who were awaiting with mixed emotions the first bell of the first day at the Prep. Several o f us wished we were still in the familiar haunts of our former grade schools, knowing everyone there and sure o f their welcome and friendship. . . . The bell rang. . . . Friendships were formed, hopes of exploits in athletics, on the stage, in studies, were rising. There came a feeling of well-being, of belonging, o f friendship and content. We Freshmen were soon making our presence felt. Teams were organized, we became members of the Sodality, some of us were among the fortunate honor students. . . . The gridiron prowess of Wolfe, Buckley, Cochrane, Hoffman soon became known. . . . Then basketball . . . “ Did you see Barry on that play?” “ Cochrane sure looked good.” . . . Debate . . . the Play . . . and all the rest. Came Spring . . . and its fever . . . along with track, baseball, and Exams.. . . We were budding Sophs.

Second year saw fresh changes . . . Hogan Hall was being erected . . . the ’44 Class had afternoon sessions for the duration . . . w'e had our own opinions ofthe ‘new order” .

, 9 ’

In no time at all we were mastering the “ parlez-vous?' and“ verstehen sie?” of French and German. . . . Football . . . basketball . . . ihe play . . . Christmas vacation . . . mid-year exams . . . and then normal order was resumed. The “ new order” had passed . . . McGann, Curtin, White and Guth were promising debaters . . . Kennelly and Flach gave tremendous performances in “ The Shadow of the Tree” . . . . Prepsters were applauding the scholastic records of Flach, Galligan, Illy, and Salvest. . . . In torrid weather we perspired our way through June Exams. . . . We were half-way along the course.

Third year -rolled around and for the first time we were in Hogan Hall for classes. We began to delve into the complicated passages o f the Anabasis and into the mysteries o f Chemistry. . . . Great improvements were made in our fresh-air

( j \ gym. . . . Junior Night with the discovery of hidden talent. . . . Fred Flach repre­sented the Prep in the American Legion Oratorical Contest. . . . Dickinson almost lost. . . . Came “ degrees” as finished linguists. . . . Second place in the County tennis matches. . . . City Baseball Trophy . . . the Prom . . . Exams. . . . We were Seniors. . . .

With Senior Year came the richest joys o f high school. Positions of honor, leadership in all activities, feeling of responsibility and a more thorough realiza­tion and feeling of belonging. . . . We were well represented in every activity. . . . Football? Wolfe, Buckley, Kennelly, Phalon, Callahan, Pfleger, Rasmusson, Faherty, Horgan, Tulin. . . . Basketball? Barry, Marnell, Wolfe, Schomaker, Scherer. . . . Teeling, Madison, Sommer, O’Grady and Courtney were tearing up the cinder track. . . . Buckley, Bernhardt, W olfe were playing Varsity baseball. . . . Fiore, Marnell, Barry, Kennelly and White were turning out copy for Petroc. . . . Guth, VanBemmel, Walsh, Kopp, Curtin, Kelly and O’Shaughnessy were working hard and long on the Yearbook. . . . McGlinchy, Beckerman, Blackwood, Connors, Canavan & Canavan, and Guth helped towards a fine “ Twelfth Night” . . . . McGann, Gunning, Ard, R. O’Brien, H ill, were turning in good performances as Prep orators. . . . Merck, White and Donohue helped the swimming team. . . .

One last hill and the pleasant journey would be over. The years at Prep have come to a close. Lighting the chasms and recesses of the mind with the lamp of memory, we look back upon the enchanting years o f early youth spent under the guidance of a true “ Alma Mater” . Our years at the Prep have been varied and rich both spiritually and otherwise. We leave mindful of much— too much to express in word, perhaps. . . . Already has V irg il’s “ forsan et haec olim meminisse juvabit” become a prophecy fulfilled.

Frank was the youngest member of our whole Senior Class. An honor student

and a true friend, he was esteemed by all his Prep associates. His actions spoke

so loudly o f his upright character that we need add o f him only this: Frank lived

and died a Catholic gentleman— a true St. Peter’s man.

OUR PRIDE AND OUR GLORY

It is our pride and our glory,

Old in song and in story,

And we cherish your name,

And we love your fair fame,

For the days o f long ago;

And we, your sons, w ill be loyal

To St. Peter’s so royal,

May your banner still guide us

Wherever we go.

It is a story o f gladness

With no shadow o f sadness,

Our years spent with you,

St. Peter’ s so true,

And you hold our heart’s love yet;

And through life ’s years we w ill treasure,

With joy beyond measure,

The gifts you have given—

We can never forget.

STUDENT COUNCIL

In the past the new Student Council had been known as the Senior Council since its members were chosen only from Senior classes. This year, however, repre­sentatives were chosen from all four years, so that Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors were able to voice their opinions about the conduct of the Prep’s activities, along with the Seniors.

The purpose of the Council is to arouse greater interest in all aspects o f the School’s activities and to foster and further plans that w ill be for the benefit of all the students.

Within the past year, two informal dances have been promoted through the Council, and each of them was highly successful, socially and otherwise. At present writing plans for the Senior Prom are being discussed along with the School outing in June.

I f judg ment be formed by past performances, the Council is doing its share to promote the interests o f both students and School.

SENIOR SODALITYThe students of the Senior and Junior classes are eligible for membership in the

Senior Sodality. The School, forever looking to the primacy o f the soul in edu­cation, provides class time for its meetings, though no pressure is brought to bear upon those who do not choose to manifest their special devotion to Our Blessed Mother through this excellent instrument. What spiritual activities the School en­courages: the reading of Catholic literature, sacrifices for the Missions, frequenta- tion of the Sacraments, and a sincere regard for the sacramentals, become the inconspicuous badge of the Sodalist.

Members of the Sodality cultivate devotion to Our Blessed Mother. They learn to talk prayerfully to her o f their games and studies and little worries, to remind her o f the Prep fellows of other years, who are living dangerously for our security. They learn to give the simple sermons of good example by their loyalty to their Queen in word and work, and thus happily exercise a firm influence over those who are proud to call them friends. Their souls expand in this moment of transition from high school to the less guided life of a turbulent tomorrow by their appreciation and practice o f their Faith.

Their devotion is best known to their heavenly patron. The test o f their active membership w ill have to await another time when, God willing, armored with the Memorare for the hard spots, and with the tough fiber o f their characters refined by the wearing of the scapular and the telling o f the beads, they will speak and think and do things, a little bit more like her Son.

SOPHOMORE SODALITYFor the first time in years Second Year broke away from First Year to form its

own Sodality. Only those students were allowed to join immediately who had already received the Sodality diploma. Those who had not received the diploma were put through a course on the rules, one class a week, for eight weeks. About fifty per cent of these postulants passed the examination and were admitted as regular candidates for the Sodality diploma.

The Christmas Drive for the Hospitals, sponsored by the Hospital Committee, turned out to be the traditional success. The Literature Committee proposed a project for February, Catholic Press Month, to collect funds for the spread of Catholic pamphlets among service men, hospital patients and others. The Publicity Committee wound up the month by a discussion of the same subject with the idea of stimulating interest in the spread of Catholicity through personal writing.

A ll Sodalists were asked to make each Saturday in the year a big day, by receiving Holy Communion on that day, reciting the Rosary and the Little Chaplet of the Immaculate Conception in Our Lady’s honor and by abstaining from evening enter­tainment that would threaten attendance at Sunday Mass.

More stress was placed on daily meditation during the second semester. Occa­sional meditations were composed and read in meetings as a stimulus to further personal efforts along that line.

An explanation of Blessed DeMontfort’s “ True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary” was made by Fr. Purcell, S.J., the Moderator. This famous system of com­plete enslavement of oneself to the Mother o f God in imitation of Christ Who made Himself so dependent on her ministrations, was proposed as a short-cut to sanctity.

FRESHMAN SODALITYAn especially Mission-minded group of Freshman sodalists were guided through

their first year o f contact with the Prep’s Sodality of Our Lady by Fr. Cotter, S.J.,

who, as Moderator, held weekly meetings in the Lower Church throughout the year.

The twofold end of the Sodality was stressed. The response of the Freshmen was

such that a large group attended the Tuesday-afternoon meetings faithfully. With

the principles gained in first year as a guide, the Freshmen are in a position to

enter the Sophomore section of the Sodality next year with a deeper understanding

o f the meaning of personal sanctity and of its expression in terms o f Catholic Action.

We know now more fu lly the meaning of

a copy sheet, the need for a carefully drawn-

up dummy, the care necessary for seeing a

manuscript properly through the press, the

labor involved in obtaining good photogra­

phy, the limits to which an engraver can go

in reproducing and arranging photographs,

and advertising methods.

The P e t r e a n , this year, has provided for

every member o f the staff a fund o f experi­

ence. From the time the first call went out

to the Seniors until the last of the copy and

photography had left the office there were

numerous details— some small, others rather

large— to be cared for.

And now . . . there’s next year.

PETROCE X TR A ! E X TR A ! The first edition of the School paper made its appearance

on the Grand and Warren “ newsstands” last October and was eagerly received by

an enthusiastic group of Prepsters. Mr. McBride, S.J., guided our four-page mine

of information about Prep life and activities through storm and calm until now—

well, check with the latest issue and see how completely it records the news of

the Prep.

A generous, willing, and constant group of news-gatherers worked from issue

to issue throughout the year, hunting down stories that would appeal to all Prep­

sters and be an accurate chronicle o f fresh events. The various departments were

kept fresh and interesting, and the addition, from time to time, of new features

made for a really “ newsy” newspaper. Were you looking for the latest develop­

ments in the Sodality? The School paper had your information. The editorial

writers were up-to-the-minute men with timely, worth-while comments. The feature

sections were consistently good. Books, movies, and all the other “ regulars” served

to guide Prepsters in their choice of current entertainment and relaxation. Were

you visited by the inquiring reporter? Did you recognize the Prepsters who came

C h e c k in g C o p y ? B u s in e s s M e e t in g

in for attention in “ Petroc’s Passing Parade” ? Were you able to fo llow the

mental gymnastics o f the “ Senior Room Smoke” editors?

We are all grateful to the members o f the staff who did such a grand job with

little or no previous experience in the newspaper field. Evidence of student

interest may be found in the suggestions which were made and carried out during

the course of the year regarding content and form. In paging through past issues

we are very definitely reminded that the initial editorial o f “ Petroc” has found its

verification in each issue. For truly, “ Petroc” has shown itself devoted to the

interests o f Prepsters and the Prep.

BEAUDEVIN DEBATING SOCIETYThe Beaudevin Debating Society is an organization open to Third and Fourth

Year students. This year the Beaudevin experienced a tremendous expansion. It joined the New Jersey Forensic League, qualified in the League’s state debate tournament, and sent speakers to NJFL forums at Rutgers and Columbia. It was the prime force in founding the Jesuit Debate League and fared successfully in competition with Jesuit schools o f the metropolitan area. The Speakers’ Guild, auxiliary of the Beaudevin, enlarged its program, addressed Holy Name societies and political clubs seven times. In all, Beaudevin debaters engaged in thirty-two interscholastic debates.

Highlight of the debating season was the varsity debate team’s trip south to engage Loyola High, Baltimore and Gonzaga High, Washington. The trip fu l­filled a double purpose: to broaden the debater’s experience and to reward them for a year o f hard work and strenuous activity. In the course o f their jaunt they visited Washington’s historic sights and journeyed out to Woodstock for a visit with former Prep teachers.

A new feature o f Beaudevin activity was the Roller Skating Party held in February at the Boulevard Arena. Sponsored by the Beaudevin to finance the Washington trip, the party was a complete success, socially and financially.

Proudest achievement of the Beaudevin was the success of one o f its members in the American Legion Oratorical Contest. Pat McGann, veteran debater and star performer o f the Speakers’ Guild, won second place in the state finals of the Legion competition. Successive victories in city, county and district contests quali­fied McGann to compete against district champions of the whole state. It was the first time that a Hudson County representative reached the state finals. Pat’s second place medal is a singular honor for the Beaudevin and for St. Peter’s.

Also worthy o f commendation are James Ard and James Gunning. The two Jims formed a team that faced interscholastic foes fifteen times with a great measure o f success. They were also active in the Speakers’ Guild.

COLLINS DEBATING SOCIETYThis year, with Mr. Nenno, S.J., as Moderator, the Collins Debating Society

continued to form debaters who in their Junior and Senior years will take the

places of those who have “ graduated” from the Beaudevin. Competition with out­

side groups was modest but proved a source of fine experience. Among the high­

lights o f the year were debates with Xavier and with the Freshman team of

Fairfield Prep in Connecticut. This last debate was part o f “ Parents’ Night” and

showed in a practical way still another of the Prep’s activities.

DRAMATICSAfter too long an absence, the Bard of Avon was again a visitor

to the Prep boards last December when “ Twelfth Night” was pre­sented on three occasions before an enthusiastic audience. Under the able guidance o f Fr. J. Lynch, S.J., and Mr. Nenno, S.J., plans for the production got under way, and during the months of October and November regular rehearsals were held by Mr. Marr, the dramatic coach.

With the graduation, last year, o f some of the more experienced members o f the Dramatic Society, there was a call for fresh talent. The students responded generously and all who were in the play are to be congratulated for their worth-while efforts. The difficult role of Sir Toby Belch was handled notably by Thomas Fleming, ’45. Were votes to be cast for the best actor in the play, Tom would undoubtedly garner a very large share o f them. Fred Flach, a Senior, stepped into the role of Sir Toby for one performance be­cause of Tom’s illness, and did excellent work as “ understudy.’ The part of Sir Andrew' as played by James McGlinchy, ’44, earned for him the “ best actor” vote among the Seniors. Francis Heinzmann, ’45, and John Finn, ’46, w ill be remembered for their fine per­formances as Sebastian and Viola, the twins about whom the action revolved. Two Seniors who proved seaworthy in the play were John Connors, ’44, and Robert Guth, ’44, whose roles as Antonio and Viola ’s rescuer are still fresh in memory. Edward McGough, ’46, helped much toward the success o f the play in his role of Olivia while John Beckerman, ’44, acted the part of Maria like a veteran. Shakespeare’s Feste, the clever, mimicking clown of the piece, was admirably played by Robert Deveny, 45. The jester

and his cohort, Fabian (Francis Connelly, ’45 ), helped to make life miserable for Malvolio, that haughty steward whose character was feelingly portrayed by Jerome Long, ’45. Senior Frank Dono­hue was the priest who married Olivia and Sebastian. Orsino, the Duke of Illyria, was well treated by Joseph Fahy, ’45, and Thomas Blackwood, ’44, w ill be remembered as Valentine.

The other roles were handled by Martin White, ’44, A lfred LaPaglia, ’45, Daniel Moriarty, ’45, Emil Borgers, ’46, Thomas Waldron, ’46, Albert Kluczyk, ’47, W illiam Higley, ’47, John Sickles, ’47, Robert Vita, ’47, Joseph McDermott, ’47, and Edward

Connors, ’47.A vote o f thanks must go to the stage crew who helped for a

Malvolio chastises Toby and Feste.

smooth performance on the three occasions when the play was presented. R. and D. Canavan, Raymond Wilhelm, Patrick Regan, Robert Beebe, James White and Robert Feneis did yeomen’s work to show that “ the play’s the thing” and that the show must go on.

A ll in all, the Dramatic Society may well be proud of its Shake­spearean ability. It further demonstrated its versatility in the radio field at Christmas and Easter when it presented playlets in keeping with those seasons. And we are looking forward with confidence to an even more successful year ahead since so many underclassmen who are now “ veterans” w ill still be on hand to make the Prep Dramatic Society live up to its past record o f out­standing performers and performances.

The argument be­tween Toby and Sir Andrew ends up in a brawl.

THE LIBRARYO f all the institutions at the Prep, perhaps the most conducive to the culture

and entertainment o f the students is the Prep library. The vast rows of shelves are kept constantly up to date through the tireless efforts of our very efficient Moderator, Father Murray, S.J. Great credit, moreover, must be given our genial librarian, Mr. Kruse, for his courteous and patient labors at the checking-desk and in the library lecture room where he conducts classes to initiate Freshmen into the mysteries o f the Dewey Decimal System and of library procedure. The staff o f library assistants is doing fine work, especially in the repairing o f time­worn books.

One o f the many features which serve to make our library a most enjoyable place is the well-stocked magazine rack. For the scientifically-minded are the latest technical magazines. Also available are current periodicals for the casual reader, the hobbyist, the chess-player, and for those who wish to deepen their knowl­edge and understanding of Catholic Action. Our library is doing its utmost to give us a Christian education for the peace to come; and every Prepster has the opportunity to take full advantage o f its facilities.

CURRENT EVENTS CLUBUnder the guidance o f Mr. O’Sullivan, the Current Events Club was organized

to keep Prepsters abreast of the world-situation so that they might be in a posi­

tion intelligently to discuss problems of current interest. The club was composed

chiefly o f second-year students who found it helpful in their Economic Georgraphy

course. Members of the Academy included Arthur Trewhella, ’46, Robert Kelly,

’46, Charles Waespy, ’46, Jerome Long, ’45, John Critelli, ’46, Michael Fiore, ’46,

and George Antos, ’46.

GERMAN CLUBThis year the German Academy, though off to a late start, served to familiarize

its members with the various forms, written and aural, o f German expression.

Mr. Barrows, S.J., led the group through the exciting experiences o f Kriminal-

komissar Hornleigh— the German Sherlock Holmes— and by means of recordings

and conversation helped familiarize his budding linguists with the speaking aspects

o f the language. Members o f the Academy included Matthew Healy, ’45, Joseph

Pheifer, ’45, Edward Davis, ’45, Richard Yanni, ’45, Jerome Long, ’45, and W il­

liam Schreck, ’45.

AERONAUTICS CLUBThe Aeronautics Club, under the direction of Mr. McGill, was an excellent

means of acquainting Prepsters with present trends in aeronautics. An airplane

engine, secured from the Army, served as added interest and instruction for the

group. The meetings gave promise of even greater things for the coming year.

ORCHESTRALong after the “ lights go on again,” this year’s edition o f the Prep orchestra,

as guided by Mr. Barrows. S.J., w ill have been remembered by all who have come within hearing distance of its melodious strains. Plenty of practice and good direc­tion made this group of musicians a popular part o f many Prep entertainments. The School orchestra has risen, in the past two years, to the rank of a foremost Prep activity, and we hope that it w ill continue in the future to be ranked as the most called-for entertainment group at St. Peter’s.

THE BANDAgain this year the band, with Mr. Barrows, S.J., as mentor, made a hit at

the football games. Not only did it fire the team with its stirring marches but its members were loudest in cheering on the Maroon and Whites even when the going was darker. Membership in the organization had not suffered too many losses through last year’s graduation. Walter Illy , Bill Torpey, John Dotterweich, Vinnie Kopp, and Fred Muller were again on hand, among other loyal bandmen, to make for a group whose performances have made every Prep student proud to admit that it is representative of the Prep.

Every member o f the band showed a great deal o f enthusiasm which crept into every performance offered since September. I f the future brings forth a group as well organized and loyal and enthusiastic as was this year’s band, the Prep will have no cause for anxiety regarding bandmen’s support of her football games and other activities in which the band takes part.

FOOTBALLDespite the Thanksgiving Day fracas, tears and anguish should have no place

in the 1943 football picture for the Prep-men had their good days, too, and on the whole the Maroon and White, for the first time under Coach Conti’s aegis, were a success.

The Petreans, few of them veterans, took to the opening fray with plenty of spirit, and, on the sun-baked High School’s Field, commenced from the opening play to vanquish the visiting Cadets from Xavier. With Captain Ed W olfe and Bobby Buckley sparking the attack, the Prep eleven began their first big drive o f the season and retained possession of the ball until they scored on a flat pass to promising Vince Freda. But inexperience and youth told the story from that point on for the competent Gotham Gridders slowly but surely overcame the Prep resistance and carried back a 21-6 decision to New York.

The following Saturday found the Maroon and White gridders making an entourage to Union City’s Roosevelt Stadium in an effort to bowl over Emerson’s vicious All-County contenders. The contest developed into a see-saw struggle from the first with the Hogan Hallers definitely making their presence known. But the Emerson line-ripping plungers took too much of a toll on the youthful Petrean for­ward wall. As a result Prep succumbed to the Bulldogs and the Union City boys piled up a two-touchdown lead at the half. Lacking the power to overcome the victors, the Conti-men at least showed their first signs of quelling ground attacks by tenaciously holding their own in the remainder o f the fracas. And although the Prep dropped its second decision by the score o f 21-6, they served notice of their power to their future opponents by virtue of Ed W olfe ’s healthy ability to snare passes and by Frank Callahan’s sudden accession to a starting place at center.

Figuring that they had had enough jolting already, the Prepsters moved deter­minedly into M iller Stadium on the second Sunday in October, and, with no reference to the past, promptly and effectively dishevelled the Memorial outfit. With the stalwart yeoman Bob Black starting his first game at guard in place

o f the injured Tom Hoffman, and with line stars Dick Phalon and Frank Kennelly playing equally well both on the defensive and offensive, the Prep legion controlled the situation from the opening whistle. Bobby Buckley repeatedly ripped off tackle and flung long passes to the twin ends,W olfe and Paddy Cochrane, sparking the con­quering attack. The Petreans waited until the second quarter, however, to open up their scor­ing barrage. Moving downfield for sixty-five yards at the start o f the period, the Grand- streeters made their initial score on a pass into the outstretched arms of Captain W olfe who expertly nabbed the ball in the end-zone despite the fact that the pigskin was deflected from a Memorial player’s body. Shortly after the play resumed in the second half, Prep tallied the deciding factor when Paddy Cochrane caught Buckley’s twenty-yard pass and pro­ceeded twenty yards more into touchdown ter­ritory. W olfe converted the final point by vir­tue o f a pass. The final quarter provided many more thrills with two more scores being called back on penalties. Buckley plunged over into “ pay-dirt” after Paul Paytas ran back an enemy pass forty-eight yards. But the play was nullified, as was Eddie Roper’s forty-four-yard interception run three minutes later.

Riding high on the wave o f their initial victory, the Petreans carried over their crushing attack against Snyder in the fourth game o f the campaign. Kicking off, ihe Prep held Snyder for downs and with the game less than a minute old Conti’s charges were knocking at the Tiger’s door. After W olfe completed a pass on the three-yard line, Buckley plunged over for the score. Paddy Cochrane place-kicked the seventh vital point. Not content, the Maroon and White repeated the formula, and in two minutes more they reached the twelve-yard stripe. But there the Tigers quelled the attack. Only once more were the Grandstreeters in scoring position, and once again the attackers were thwarted at the eight-yard line. The Orange and Black commanded the field from then until the final whistle. And when Snyder chalked up seven markers in the second half, the saddened Prepsters walked away from the fray, having to be content with a 7-7 tie.

Election Day at High School’s Field was the scene of one of the “ gamest” teams in Hudson County fight­ing with all their heart to stave off an over­powering foe. For St.Peter’s went to battle with the County Cham­pion Lincoln Lions who were rated to gar­ner an easy victory by a margin o f five or six touchdowns. But de­spite the fact that star Buckley was hobbling on injured legs and that Ted Tulin was out o f action on ths sick list, the stout­

Starting lineup

W olfe : All-state end

hearted Prep vigorously stole the play away from the highly touted Lions. For more than a quarter and a half the Hogan Hallers were the aggressors, failing on one touchdown drive when a Prep back fumbled on the sixteen-yard line in the first quarter. Midway in the second period the Petreans rolled again and when A1 Fiore, substitute fullback, raced thirteen yards around right end to the three-yard line, it seemed that the Lions were lambs. But on the next play there was a fumble on the one-yard line, leaving Lincoln to score after a sustained drive of ninety-nine yards. When the contest ended the Prep was on the wrong end of a 26-6 tally, managing to salvage only one touchdown by virtue o f Buddy W olfe ’s pass com­pletion and thirty-yard touchdown run. Nevertheless, the game was closer, in truth, than the score would indicate, and the team as a whole gained much praise for its fight from the local newspapers.

Dispelling all thoughts o f their recent loss, the Conti-Demmy combine sought retribution against Bayonne on Armistice Day, and, with grim determination, ob­tained it. Perhaps it was because many of the players wanted revenge for the trimming they received from the Lee-men in ’42. Anyway, the toughened Prepsters came from behind to win over the Oilers. As it was the Bayonneites stole the play in the first half and with little trouble established a two-touchdown margin at the beginning of the second half. However the Grand Street warriors were not to be shamed, and when play resumed, a more determined eleven was not to be found. Sustaining a drive behind Buckley’s flings to the ends and backfield men. the Prep took advantage o f an interference penalty halfway through the third period and took possession of the ball on the one-yard line. From that stripe Bayonne Bobby bucked through for the count. Although the conversion failed, the Maroon and White were not to be denied and came back for another helping. Prep gained their biggest need, possession of the pigskin, on a ball-stealing trick, and once again wended its way to a score. Set back by penalties, Buckley resorted to long passes and twice connected to both Cochrane and Fiore to place the ball on the eight-yard line. The redoubtable Mr. Buckley skirted the left end for the tying touchdown, less than a minute later. With the pulse o f the stands fluttering like a butterfly, Buck rocketed a pass to Cochrane in the end-zone for the game- winning point to make the score 13-12.

Dickinson game

A ll three Hudson County papers joined in their praise o f the unstoppable Buck­ley, the breakaway running of the new Junior find, Joe Cooney, and the blocking o f quarterback Leon Karolewski. Excellent on the forward wall were Soph tackle Ralph Diverio and guards John McLaughlin and Dick Phalon, while tackles Ken- nelly and Phalon held up the right side of the line.

With such a shining success under their belts, the Prep gridders turned to their big game o f the year against Dickinson on Thanksgiving Day. But although the game was rated an even match before the start, the Petreans found themselves sur­prisingly overwhelmed by the visiting Hilltoppers. Missing no chance and capi­talizing on every “ break” that came their way, the D-men soon amassed an over­powering lead and left the depressed thousands of Petrean rooters “ waiting for another year” to break the losing streak. The outstanding highlight o f the en­counter was the sparkling fifty-yard broken-field run by star Junior back Joe Cooney. Immediately after the half, Joe snared a “ screen pass” and streaked to Prep’s only score.

VARSITY BASKETBALLLate in October, when Coach Tom O’Brien

called his first basketball practice, he issued the following statement for the press. “ We are be­ginning one of the hardest schedules we have had in years. We might not win many games but we’ll be a better team because of the high caliber o f the competition.” Looking back now, we real­ize how astounding and almost perfect was his prediction.

Although a host o f game cagers answered the first call for Varsity candidates, there were only four experienced Varsity men returning from last year’s team. Denny Barry, Ed Wolfe, Pat Cochrane and A1 Fritz were the only holdovers from the ’43 combine and it was around these men that our able mentor had to mold a winning club.

The team which took the floor in the initial contest was almost entirely inexperienced and al­though they were rather diminutive in size and number, they proved that they could make up for

this in spirit and fighting ability by defeating the extremely tall Stevens Tech J.V. 24 to 21. The Prepsters were trailing 9 to 8 at the half but in the third and fourth quarters they moved out in front and definitely outclassed the Hoboken- ites. Traveling to Bayonne for their second contest, the Petreans found Holy Family

a little too tough and after a hotly contested battle, they found themselves on the short end of a 21 to 17 count.

The third foray which was, incidently, the first night game and the advent o f the Grand Streeters return to Hudson County basketball in many years, the Prep court men found themselves unable to cope with the uncanny one-hand shots o f an experienced Union H ill quintet. The Hillers walked off with a 49 to 25 decision.'

The visiting Xavier High School Cadets, led by their Captain “ Ace” Dwyer, out­pointed St. Peter’s in terms of 39 to 27. The Maroon and White cagers again tasted defeat when they dropped a 40 to 31 game to high scoring Snyder High combine. Undaunted, however, the Prep dribblers returned to the win column once more by lacing Bayonne Tech 41 to 28. Denny Barry was the outstanding contestant o f the evening scoring 15 markers.

Next, St. Aloysius crumbled before the onslaught of the fighting Prepsters who beat them by a score of 44 to 24. Buddy W olfe took scoring honors by tallying 17 points.

The Maroon and White chalked up their third straight victory by lacing the Dickinson cagers to the tune of 40 to 29. It was sweet revenge for the distasteful Thanksgiving Day game and with every man working like a cog in a well oiled machine, the whole team turned in an excellent performance.

On the opening day o f the Tenth Annual Jesuit Tournament, the Petrean hoop- sters were defeated by a talented Regis High School quintet 49 to 23, thus dropping out o f the tournament.

Lincoln High quintet tacked another loss on the Prep schedule by a 44 to 31 score. Once again the O’Brien-men triumphed by taking Stevens Tech into camp by a 34 to 32 count, by the grace o f a last second set-shot which was sent through the cords by Captain Denny Barry. The Prep hardboard men avenged their defeat early in the season by topping Holy Family (Bayonne) 28 to 26. The Prepsters traveled to Newark for their next encounter but they dropped a hard fought game to Newark Acade­my 45 to 31. Haunted by sickness and in­eligibilities, the Petreans lost to Dickinson 40 to 34. Once again the Grand Streeters whipped St. Aloysius by a large score of 49 to 35 with A1 Fritz scoring 11 markers for the victors.

The Prep courtmen dropped a close game to Bayonne Tech in the last few seconds of play by a score o f 32 to 31. Traveling once more to the Oil City, the Maroon and Whites were outpointed by the well-tutored Bayonne High school cagers 35 to 15. In their second meet­ing with Lincoln, the O’Brien-men again found

themselves on the short end of a 53 to 37 score. St. Peter’s lost heavily to Regis High School on the neutral Christ Church court, New York City, to the tune o f 45 to 17.

The Prep was nosed out in its second game with Snyder High School by virtue of a free toss in the closing minute which clinched the game for the Tigers. Rounding out their schedule with a final game at Brooklyn Prep, the Petreans lost a close battle by a 25 to 23 margin.

Though the season could not very well be termed successful, the spunk and ability o f the Prep five was proved when it received invita­tions to both the Lt. Frank Haggerty Memorial Tournament at Jamaica, Long Island, and the Annual Knights o f Columbus Tourney in Brooklyn.

It was with high hopes that the Prep traveled to Jamaica early in March to Meet A ll Hallows o f New York in the opening round. The New Yorkers, however, proved to have too much ex­perience, for the Prep was dazzled into defeat by the fast moving King men who took the game 58 to 38.

Our boys fared much better in the K. o f C. Tournament, however, for in the first encounter with St. Simon Stock, they took the New Yorkers by a 25 to 23 margin. The quarter­finals found the Prep matched with St. Nicholas Tollintine whose scoring power proved to be a little too much for the Prep which was de­feated 49 to 35.

Our high scoring captain, Dennis Barry, wa= chosen for the first string forward berth by the Jersey Observer on the Hudson County All- Catholic Team with our fighting guard, Buddy Wolfe, placed on the second team.

At the Dickinson game

CHEER-LEADERSOn hand at all the Prep football games this year, the cheer leaders set a fine

example o f enthusiasm and spirit, even though they were hard-put, sometimes, to outdo the loyal outpourings of the members o f the band. In all kinds of weather they stepped forth to urge Prepsters to audible demonstrations of spirit and sports­manship, whether the score read: St. Peter’s 13, Visitors, 12, or otherwise.

It is simple enough to get a group to cheer when everything is going w ell; but dampened spirits need something more than half-hearted rousing to make them break into a roar of loyalty. The cheer leaders were that something on those darker Autumn days not only for the stands but for the Prep eleven as well.

This year w ill find the ranks depleted by graduation. Mr. Barrows, S.J., the Moderator, did much to make for fine cooperation between the band and cheer- leading group, so that things went smoothly during a game— as smoothly as can be expected when the score is 12-12 with the Prep in position to make the extra point.

VARSITY BASEBALL

With only a few holdovers from last year’s team, but with a promising group of new candidates it looks as though the Prep will develop another championship squad.

Last year’s sparkling nine nosed out Ferris by a half-game margin to win the city cup. The Maloney brothers, Franny and Ray, by their great pitching and catching, won for themselves berths on the all-state and all-county teams, Buddy W olfe made the second string all-county team and both A1 Noll and Cap­tain Nick Pagnozzi received honorable mention.

We have back again this year pitcher Paul Bernhardt and catcher Bob Buckley, who w ill captain the team. Buddy Wolfe, another veteran, returns also and with him, Denny Barry, who was out last season because of an operation. There are two pitchers who show great possibilities-— Bob Brady and Gene Skinner. With these and many “ green” but talented outfielders and infielders, we think this season will produce a team that w ill equal the record that Mr. King’s charges made last vear.

WEIGHT-LIFTING CLUBWith Fr. Cotter, S.J., and Coach George Patterson instituting and directing the

organization, the weight-lifting club has become one of the more popular activities

here at the Prep. The entire group began a special improvement course designed to show that such a program is of great value in developing a fine physical con­dition which w ill be a foundation for future athletes and all-round healthy Prep­

sters. More power to our weight-lifters, and good luck to the Prep’s newest

athletic enterprise.

VARSITY TENNIS

After capturing second place in the County finals last year, the tennis team

looks good this year with Joe Nevin, Pat McGann, Gerry Devitt, Joe Safaryn and

Ed Marley to carry on where they left off last season. Under the capable direc­

tion of Mr. Egan, Nevin, Safaryn and Devitt are sure prospects for the singles’

matches. A fine showing of underclassmen on the courts for practice gives great

hope that the team will have nothing to worry about for the future.

CROSS-COUNTRY

Another forward step in the progress of

athletics was taken this year with the or­

ganization of the Cross-Country team. When

the squad assembled for the beginning of

the season it was divided into three smaller

teams: Senior, Junior, and Freshman divi­

sions. George Finn, our outstanding miler

from last year’s track team, seemed to be in

perfect condition to lead Bill Funge, Norman Hughes, Joe Teeling, and Ed Madi­

son over the two and one-half-mile Lincoln Park course.

Although Cross-Country was novel to the Prep harriers, they mastered this new

hill-and-dale enterprise by out-pointing St. Aloysius’ Seniors, their first opponents,

to the tune o f 36-24. At this time the Hudson County Amateur Athletic Union

undertook the task o f sponsoring six Sunday morning contests. At these meets

the ability o f Prep runners was much in evidence.

Sunday morning, November 21st, was the occasion for which every harrier

in the county had trained: the County Championships. In the Junior event

George Finn cut the tape fifteen seconds ahead of last year’s record. He was fo l­

lowed by Dick Brady, Paul Paytas, Bill Davis, and Paul Gannon, all of whom

helped to credit the Prep with the title of Hudson County Junior Champions.

Medals were won during the season by the following harriers: G. Finn, Funge,

Teeling, Hughes, Dorton, Davis, Brady, Gannon, Paytas, Billings, Piga, Sollas,

Sweeney, Gibson, Jones, Ortman, Healy, Madison, Kolodziejeski, Saunders, Ma­

loney, Hagen and E. Finn.

The Freshman interclass trophy, donated by Mr. Patterson, was won by Class II.

TRACK TEAMFor the first time in years the Prep field and track team looks promising. Coach

George Patterson, having guided his team to the Junior Championship in cross­country, looks to the team to capture many honors this year at the Catholic High Meet and the Penn Relays.

As a conditioner for the outdoor track season, Mr. Patterson formed an in­door track team. The results accomplished by the mile relay squad at thecounty “ Snowbird” Meet in Kearney prompted our coach to enter the same quartet, Paul Paytas, Bill Funge, Joe Teeling, and George Finn, in the National Interscholastic Championships at Madison Square Garden. At the finish line, Mercersburg Academy of Pennsylvania had crossed the tape inches ahead of the Prep standard bearer, rating St. Peter’s the fourth-best mile relay team in the country.

Later in the season North Arlington High School and Seton Hall Prep suf­fered defeats at the hands of Prep’s wing-footed young men. At the Relay Car­nival held at Seton Hall, Coach Patterson entered a team in the two-mile relayonly. This foursome o f Teeling, Funge, Finn and Norman Hughes, won third place just a small margin behind the two leaders.

With Paul Paytas, “ Chic”Devine, and Jim Tyman in the sprints, Joe Teeling, Bill Funge, and Bill Davis in the middle distances, George Finn, Norman Hughes, and Ed Madi­son in the longer runs, and with Jack Jones, Ed Finn, Hugh Sweeney, Bill Gibson, Jim Healy and Frank Ort- man, running in the Freshman division, the Prep was assured of a very successful track season.
