VERY REV. WILLIAM L KELEHER, S.J.

With the turn of the year, the committee in charge of the Public Campaign decided to ter- minate the activity of the District Committee. While our quota was not readied, we feel that we have gone about as far as we can go in this particular area and after a careful study of the situation arrived at our decision. Let me take the occasion now to thank most sincerely the local chairmen who, under the direction of Mr. Garrity, served so loyally and generously in their respective areas. I think I appreciate the difficulties you faced and so now I congratulate you most earnestly for what has been accom- plished.

As a by-product of the campaign a year ago and of this last campaign we hoped for a rebirth of the local Boston College Clubs. I note with in- terest and pleasure that many of these clubs are reorganized and I sincerely hope that others will follow their lead. Many thanks and my congra- tulations go out to those individuals and clubs which have reorganized, and to them I promise the full cooperation of the College in all their interests and activities.

In other fields of the campaign we shall go on hoping that the spring of 1948 will be as happy as was the spring of 1947 and that Alumni Day in June will afford an occasion for us to an- nounce success again. There remains about $200,000. to be reached, if we are to attain our goal this year as we did a year ago, and I feel that with the cooperation of all this goal can be attained.

Speaking with the students here at the College, I find one objection frequently repeated, a ques- tion put to them by the Alumni: "Where is the money we gave for the Memorial Gymnasium?" To clear up an apparent difficulty, let me assure

yon that the promise we made a year ago has been fulfilled, that the money is still here intact as yon gave it to us and will remain so until we can put il t<> the purpose for which it was do- nated. II' the Alumni body feels that the amount which has been contributed will erect a suitable memorial to their sons and brothers, I am ready to go ahead. If on the other hand, they would prefer to build this fund until we can erect a fitting memorial to our war dead, then we shall delay. Personally, I lean towards the latter plan. However, it is the contribution of the Alumni and I feel that you should make the decision in this matter.

I must remind all again of the change of dates for the applications for the class entering in September 1948. All applications should be filed at the College before March 1st and the exam- inations are scheduled for early in April. May I ask all who are interested to cooperate with us in this matter in order that the already over- burdened staffs in the offices of our various Deans may clear applications in good time and get back to the successful applicants word of acceptance at an early date.

We have made every effort here to acknowledge all contributions to our Building Fund Cam- paign. Perhaps we have slipped in cases, so I take this occasion to communicate to all my own sincere appreciation and that of all at Boston College for the generous support given us by the members of our Alumni Association. We thank you sincerely for what you have done yourselves and all the fine contacts and friends you have made for the College. It is our sincere wish and prayer that the graduates of the College will measure up to the confidence you and our friends have placed in us this year.

ALUMNI N EWS

THE HISTORY OF BOSTON COLLEGE5

How well do you know Boston College? How well does any alumnus know his college? You know, of course, your own classmates, with whom you spent four years. You know, too, the three classes that preceded your own, or at least the more prominent members of these classes. You know, probably less well, the three classes that followed yours. You know the campus, the build- ings, one or more of the rectors, and many of the faculty. Very specially, you know the football teams and perhaps the baseball and basketball and hockey and track teams. If you have a fair share of college spirit, you have attended ban quets and reunions, and have looked with equal amazement at the old fogies who give allegiance to numerals that antedate your birth, and the very young fry who could not conceivably have finished a regular college course. All in all, you know your college only in a very limited way, and in relation to a narrow period of time. You belong to a definite college generation, which has heard reports of the "good old days," but which has no integrated, balanced and complete picture of the College as a whole, in the full sweep of its history.

This was true of the writer and of his friends, as well as of the rest of the Alumni. It would necessarily remain true until some tireless soul would take on the long, tedious, meticulous task of research and compilation, and then set forth the results in a History of Boston College which would be complete and accurate, and at the same time interesting and readable. It is true no longer for this reviewer, and need not be true for you. The research and compilation has been done : in the archives of Boston College and other Jesuit houses in the United States and Rome; in the archives of the Archdiocese of Boston and elsewhere; in contemporary reports in the daily papers, the Pilot, the Stylus and elsewhere ; in magazine articles and books. The data thus revealed, surprisingly rich and colorful, has been compiled and organized, so that the apparatus of learning is nowhere embarrassing to a non- technical reader, and yet is present to guide pro- fessional historians in further studies- The text itself is lucid, and the narrative runs smoothly and well. Granted a reader who is interested in the College, the new History will be not merely informative, but fascinating as well- Quite properly and of necessity, Father Dunigan has restricted his History to the Col- lege itself.. He does not treat, save in passing mention, the history of athletics: Nat Hasenfus, '22, has done that well. There is no attempt to tell the story of the Alumni, — who they were, and what they did : these records must be sought elsewhere. But it is the story of Boston College

''A History of Boston College" was re- viewed by Rt. Rev. Eric F. MacKenzie, President of the Class of 1914 and Pastor of the Sacred Heart Church, Newton.

The author, Rev. David R. Dunigan, S. J., is a member of the Boston College faculty.

itself, in all its origins: what new thing hap- pened, when ,how and why.

To this reviewer at least, the beginning and the end are the most interesting pages: how the College actually began, and how and why it has expanded, in modern times, in all its various schools and courses. There are 124 pages needed to describe the slow and difficult preparations for the first awarding of AB's, in 1877: an in- spiring history of dogged faith and unconquer- able enthusiasm which won victory over obstacles of every sort, economic, social and political ; and there are about 140 pages to tell of the modern period of the College, since it came to University Heights, filled with information as to all the developments in college activities since that memorable day.

But above all else, the History gives a unified perspective. In its beginnings, its middle years, or these its latest days, the College lived its own organic life, independently of (though influenced by) the ever-changing rectors and professors and students. There was and is a constant purpose: to bring to each latest generation a disciplined training in the accumulated wisdom of the ages ; in religion and philosophy and the arts and sciences. A basic plan of operation is constant: but the form and direction and extent of action varies as do the times and the opportunities of the day. To see this and to appreciate it, is to acquire a new understanding of what Boston College was and is. It is a necessary and inspir- ing viewpoint for every Alumnus ; it should be a required reading for every undergraduate.

CANDLEMAS LECTURES

The Declan X. McMullen Company of New York (225 Broadway) announces the publication of last year's Candlemas Lectures on Christian Literature. "The Heresy of Courtly Love", by the Rev. Alexander J. Denomy, C.S.B., Ph.D., of the Pontifical Institute of Medieval Studies, has already been highly praised as a most val- uable contribution to the study of medieval literature in general and an unusually keen analysis of the origin and character of courtly love in particular. The author, who is editor of the scholarly journal Medieval Studies and who was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship during the past year, is known as one of the best medi- evalists of our time. In his lecture he traces the idea of romantic and passionate love current in modern life and literature back to its source: Courtly Love, the literary invention of the Pro- vencal troubadours of the early 12th century. He discusses the basic features of that invention, and attempts to explain the anomaly of its ap- pearance in a Christian age as a phase of the enduring influence of Arabian philosophy on Christian thought.

The volume, which makes a dignified and handsome appearance in a maroon and gold binding, carries an introduction by the Rev. William Lane Keleher, S.J., President of Boston College. Copies, which sell for §1.50. may be had from the publisher or at the Boston College Bookstore.

The Candlemas Lectures for 194S were given on February 1 and 8 in the College Library by Dr. Bernard M. Peebles, of St. John's College, Annapolis. Dr. Peebles' subject was "The Poet Prudentius."

FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE AIR, the Presidents of the leading universities and colleges of the Boston area assembled on February 1 for a special discussion on ad^lt education by radio, which was presented over WHDH en the first anniversary of the Lowell Institute Cooperative Broadcasting Council. Seated, left to right: Dr. Daniel L. Marsh, President of Boston University; Dr Karl T. Compton, President of M. I. T.; Dr. Leonard CarmlchaeJ, President of Tufts College; Dr. Carl S. Ell President of Northeastern University; and Dr. James Bryant Conant. President of Harvard University. Standing: Mr. Ralph Lowell. Trustee of the Lowell Institute and Rev. Stephen A. Mulcahy.

FOOTBALL

The football season is now a. matter of history — a season of live victories and four defeats. Since the entire year, with the exception of the Jloly Cross game, was covered in the December issue, there is no point in repetition here. The Holy Cross game was crushing from a Boston viewpoint, for the Crusaders roared to town in a game sparked by the splendid play of a Holy Cross backfield that played its best game of the year. Bobby Sullivan and Bobby Farrell were outstanding, as they followed devastating inter- ference, especially on the Holy Cross single wing- offensive. Our lads fell victim to the three major errors of the season — fumbles, penalties, and offsides, else the purple tinge would not have been so pronounced. Bright spots of a dull and cheerless afternoon were the fight that the Eagles showed in the last quarter and the fact that they did not quit even in the face of discouragement.

BASKETBALL

Basketball is having a successful year, for the play of the five is far smoother now that it no longer depends on the lanky Elmore Morgan- thaler. The present record of five victories and three defeats is very creditable to the coach and the team. Siena College cahght the Eagles prac- ticeless during the Christmas holidays and de- feated them twice, but except for this New York State team, the only club to down B. C. was Rhode Island State, perennial top-notcher.

The season opened with a 76-58 loss at Rhode Island. Here Tom O'Brien vied with Ken Good- win for scoring honors. O'Brien gives notice that he may become B. C.'s best basketeer since the days of Tommy Murphy. Lining up for the new edition of the Eagles were Carr, Woolf, Higgins, Kenney, Letvinchuk, Crimmins, Fitz- gerald, O'Brien, Ryan, Stagoff, and Strug. Dan Bricker, Brooklyn star, was outstanding in a thrilling 67-61 win over St. Anselm, for the tall sophomore scored IS points, closely followed by O'Brien with 17 and by Letvinchuk with 13. The good work continued against A. I. C, 66-51, Bos- ton leading all the way. Kenney, highest scorer in other years, but victim of an operation, had an excellent night, but Bricker, Letvinchuk, O'Brien, and Carr scored the most points. Hig- gins was excellent, and Mort Stagoff did well.

Harvard was beaten in a distinct upset, 62-50, a victory made possible by the superb play turned in by O'Brien and Bricker. Higgins had a field day as B. C. gained some meed of satisfaction for a long Crimson series without a previous Boston triumph.

Siena College defeated the Eagles twice, both at Albany and at Boston. Team play was lack-

ALUMNI NEWS

ing and shooting was entirely off, as the Sienans won 59-50 and 51-31. On the road the Eagles led until i lie end; at home they were never in the hunt, although Bricker starred. Two victories over highly-rated clubs followed the Siena series, for Providence was outscored 62-43 and Man- hall an 66-57. Both visitors were prime favorites, but an ever-improving team play and the shoot- ing of Higgins, Stagoff, Bricker, O'Brien and Letvinchuk made victory possible.

HOCKEY

The hockey team has outdone the most san- guine hopes of Coach Kelley, for at present only Harvard has trimmed the Eagles, while the outstanding upset of the year was provided by the Maroon when it won 4-3 over Jeremiah's great Dartmouth six. Excellent play by Bernie Burke at goal, by Songin at defense, and the hustle of the whole team have turned the season into a pleasant surprise. Harvard edged the Maroon 1-3, when Bob Mason's goal was short by one to catch the lead taken by the Crimson. B. C.'s goals were scored by Songin, Gallagher, and Mason. Devens College, new member of the N. E. League, was beaten, 4-2; then M. I. T., despite the loss of both defense regulars, Songin and Gallagher, injured in an automobile acci- dent, and lost to the team for weeks. A wild- and-wooly thriller ended in a 7-6 victory over Northeastern, when Mahler drove in the clincher.

The return of Songin was a deciding factor in the Dartmouth game, for he led such an assault on the Green net that the Eagles astounded the ice followers in a thrilling upset victory, 4-3, in one of the best games ever played at the Arena. To the Kelleymen went the honor of being the second team to defeat the Indians in three years. Threadgold was the high scorer, with two tallies, Songin scored one himself, while Johnny Kelley drove in the fourth counter. Hats off to Coach Kelley, who is doing an excellent job !

TRACK

The track season is in its infancy, yet we feel that we can have hopes that it will be successful. In Captain Tom Greehan we have an excellent leader, who has recovered his old speed, as is evidenced by his tying his old mark in the hurdles when he lowered the mark for the NEAAU meet in Maiden to 5.2, and also for his eye-lash and not unquestioned loss to Matt Branche at the Y meet. At Huntington Ave., Ryder's boys did not do badly, for among the heat winners or point scorers on a very much abbreviated B. C. entry list were Greehan, Gil Walker, Irving Howe, Sarkis Dakasian, Richard Newhouse, and Ed. Caskin.

OUTING CLUB

New to the Alumni is the latest sports activity on the Heights, the Outing Club. This club opened its intercollegiate career with a notable victory over Brown, Tufts and Northeastern at West Ossipee. The new sport, organized a year ago, made its debut at the invitation of the Northeastern Skiers Carnival Committee, and scored 144 points to edge out Brown by one point, Northeastern by 3.3 and Tufts by 3-7. The meet was featured by slalom races, in which the skier zigzags through a path of poles set along the course, and by open-trail races at breakneck speed. Mai Connor led the pack, scoring righest honors for the day; John Ginty and Paul Dono- van aided the total by excellent work, while Bob Hardy took two seconds and a third. Other scorers were Bob Scannell and Tom Sweeney. Other B.C. men who competed were Paul Guinee, disquali- fied because of a tumble when he was on his way to victory, Larry MacKenzie, and Ed Isaac.

YACHT CLUB

At the twenty-first annual meeting of the Inter-Collegiate Yacht Racing Association this month the B. C. Yacht Club became a full mem- ber of this association. The Club will participate in the following events in April: April 11 — Quadrangular; Hobart, WPI, BC, Bowdoin. April 17— Pentagonal; Harvard, HC, BC, BU, and MIT's "B" team. April 19— Oberg Trophy; BU, Northeastern, Tufts, Harvard, BC, MIT. April- 25 — National Championship Elimination "A"; BU, HC, NE, Trinity, Tufts, WPI, BC. April 29-- Dual; BC vs. BU.

VARSITY CLUB DINNER

Five hundred persons attended the annual Varsity Club football dinner held at the Copley Plaza Hotel on Sunday, January 11.

A highlight of the evening was the awarding pf the Varsity Club Trophy (the first ever pre- sented) to Victor Palladino, guard on last year's team.

John P. Curley, '13, Graduate Manager of Ath- letics, gave letters to 46 football players present.

The past football season was reviewed in parodies written by Gerry Coughlin, '13.

Denny Myers, head football coach, was the principal speaker.

Credit for the excellent turnout is due to the efforts of the general chairman, John J. Mahoney, '29. The toastmaster was Edward F. Connelly, '31.

Representatives from the Athletic Association included John P. Curley, '13; Rev. Maurice V. Dullea, S.J., '17, Faculty Director; Francis G. Bowden, Business Manager; William G. Hay- ward, '36, formerly Publicity Director.

Coaches in attendance were: Denny Myers, "Moody" Sarno, Dave Lucey, '40, Bob Mangene, '45-1, Tom Moran, '47, football; Al McClelland basketball ; Fred Maguire, baseball ; John Kelley, '28, hockey. Present were the A. A. physicians

Members have been asked to forward sugges- tions as to the location and program for a meet- ing planned for the early spring. Unfavorable weather has prevented meeting during the winter months, and some comment has been received to t he effect that a theatre party, symphony concert, or glee club recital might offer a pleasant eve- ning for all- If sufficient interest is shown, the affair can he held at New London, Bridgeport, or any city other than New Haven and Hartford, where most of the activities have been centered.

dTlThe Class of 1911 held its sec- ond dinner within a year at the Hotel Puritan Sky Room the night before the St. Mary's game. Eight- een members attended, among whom were the two New Yorkers, George Leonard and Leo Noonan. We were glad to welcome back Father Tim Sheehan whose illness

11

prevented him from attending the May dinner.

To make up for lost time, the Class decided to hold two meetings a year from now on. A dinner the night before one of the big football games and a get-together at the Commonwealth Country Club on Alumni Day after the ballgame. Later in the evening attending the Alumni meeting.

A Memorial Mass was celebrated in November by Father Sheehan for the deceased members of pur Class, twelve in number. This is a custom we hope to follow in the years to come.

Miah Falvey was treasurer of the Varsity Club dinner held at the Copley Plaza on January 11. Mem- bers of the Class attending were Father John Churchward, end on the 1908-1910 teams, and loyal root- er John Mahoney. There are several members of the Class eligible to join the Varsity Club, among whom are Fathers Frank Cummings, Joe Burke, Ed Hartigan, Al Finn, Frank Low and Tim Sheehan. Also Vin Greene, George Leonard, Pat Mc- Donald, John McEleney and Fred Dunfey. Why not join up? A "plug" for the book, "A His- tory of Boston College" by Rev. David R. Dunigan, S.J.

Those participating were Ed Sullivan (President, Teacher's College, Salem), Father Tom Ford, Saugus, Monsignor Bob Barry, Som- erville, John Kapples, Dr. Tom Reid, Father John Joyce, Father Pat Dawson and Fred Doyle. Fred Doyle's son, Richard, B.C. High, ran a brillant leg in the Sen- ior High School relay race at the K. of C. track meet. Father Pat Dawson's nephew, Tom, was elected to the City Council of Revere and later chosen vice-chair- man of the Board. We met Walter Hickey of Wakefield at the Gridiron Club recently. Since graduating from Harvard in 19116 he has been with one of the large meat packing houses. Walter sends his greetings to the Class and hopes to attend our semi-annual dinner in May.

on January 29. It was one of the finest ever held — the setting was ideal and the food perfect. We were surprised to see so many of our teachers present. Father Stedler came on from Buffalo and he looks as virile as he did in 1913. Father Geoghan, who is stationed in Long Island, is in excellent shape. Some oi the other Jesuits present were Fathers Brock, Wennerberg, Jack Reed, Jim Brennan, Bill Murphy, Tarn McLaughlin and Louis Logue. Frank Mahoney impersonated a Monsignor from New Zealand and edited "the wastebasket". Joe Scolponeti was toastmaster and presented Fred Gil I is, Leo Daley and Frank Roche who presented scrolls to Monsignors Donovan, Dal- ton and Mclnnis. Monsignor Donovan has been re- lieved of his duties as Executive Secretary of the Holy Name Society and will devote all his time to his parish, St. James', Boston. Jack Atkinson had all the speeches recorded on a wire recorder and perhaps our absent brethren will be able to hear them transcribed some day. By the way, Jack's fame is growing. In a period of two weeks twenty communties sought his ser- vices.

Dr. Falvey left last month for Cuba and Dr. Roy Heffernan is due dowu there this month to give a talk to the Medical Society. We learned that Leo Daley had the best football assignment of the year. He was the umpire at the Sugar Bowl contest.

All in all it was a grand reunion with 46 members attending. Fatther Hugh Doyle is the new par- ish priest of St. Anne's in Read- ville.

War Crimes Prosecution Commis- sion. A year ago while preparing the case against the defendent Jack interrogated Tojo 51 times in Su- garao prison. Just before taking over the prosecution Jack was re- lieved and his place taken by the chief of counsel for the prosecution, Keenan. We shall have to wait to find out what the story is. Tom McDonough has been with the First National Stores since the in- corporation of the company. Prior to that he was with Arthur Dorr. Between managing the store in Cod- man Square (one of the best in our opinion), Dorchester, and commut- ing to Waban where he lives, Tom has been a busy fellow. We hope to see him more often. Father Gus Hargedon has been transferred as parish priest from St. Patrick's Church, Groveland, to Star of Sea Church, Marblehead. Arthur Doherty was in touch with us a year ago just before he was due to visit Boston. We did not see him then nor have we heard from him since. Arthur is a manager in Rockland, Maine, where he has been for a number of years. Father Joe Merrick, S.J., is back at Baghdad College. His Christmas Greeting from Iraq consisted of his Annual Messenger of 1947 and his Christmas Story. Father Joe will be delighted to hear from class- mates.

Jack Fleming and his family have extended Christmas Greetings from Houston to the class. Bill Welsh has been doing a credit- able job as Superintendent of Schools in Peabody. He has served on important state committees of school superintendents. Mike Hickey is still a resident of Brookline and unmarried.

Nick Petrocelli reports that his son, Joseph, is a freshman in the Busi- ness School. Young Joe established quite a reputation while in B.C.H.S. as a footballer. If his work in school permits he should make the varsity. To The Alumni Secretary: At our Twenty-Fifth Anniversary we had our first gathering which brought the husbands and wives together. Since then there has de- veloped a friendly association a- mong the wives. No doubt many of them belong to Philc-matheia. On a smaller scale they have come together through our class activ- ities and have become better ac- quainted with one another. One group has been active in one of the larger organizations, the Catholic Charitable Bureau. Each summer an informal day's outing for couples is held down on the Cape — one of those parties where the ladies bring the "eats" and each one does as he or she wants to do. We really have a good time and enjoy one another. The ladies have indeed become an auxiliary to the class. It took us twenty-five years to de- velop this adjunct. Perhaps our ex- perience has been that of other classes. Perhaps some have matured earlier than we did. However, I feel it is safe to say that our class spirit and loyalty to Alma Mater has improved through the help of our wives in class activities. As Secretary of the Alumni, Jack, per- haps you can pass this on to the younger classes and encourage them to get their auxiliary started soon. Yours,

Tom Craven

Has anyone ever seen Joe Driscoll of Newton ?

There are so many fellows whom we never see or hear from. Johnnie Dooley tells me that he's going collegiate again — going to the B.C.

Ed Killion, USN, called him recent- ly on his way to Panama, a new Navy appointment. Unfortunately, his call was hurried, so he couldn't get much information. Did you note one of our more quiet classmate's name in the news re-

51 Presentation Rd., Brighton 35

%/»J The Christmas reunion and reception to Monsignor Walter Leach was a huge success. Thirty- eight members of the Class braved the mountainous snow drifts and biting cold weather to gather at the Bostonian on December 29. Fr. Joe Quane, S.J. of Boston Col- lege, spoke for the clergy of the Class, while Fred Harkins, Pres- ident of the Archdiocesan Holy Name Society, represented the lay- men. Monsignor "Bud" was pre- sented with a set of breviaries as a memento of the occasion, fitting- ly inscribed: "To our beloved and honored classmate from the Class of '27". Walter is the first of our group to receive special papal rec- ognition. Let's hope that in the near future we may be running testi- monials for others in the Class. Among the clergy present were Fathers Jimmy Normile, from Brockton, Bob Hilton from Salem,

Joe Lyons from Roxbury and Jim Geary, S.J. from Boston College.

Notices went out to all the members oi the Class even to those in Europe ar.d Puerto Rico. The longest trip to the reunion was made by Frank Hurley who is principal of North Arlington High School, North Arl- ington, New Jersey. John Lynch, who proposed the December meet- ing last June, hopped a plane from New York at the last moment and appeared as was, without even a toothbrush. His (folks and in-laws live around Boston, out Melrose way, I believe, so he didn't have to spend the night away from friends. Dr. Bob Welch popped in a little late from Brockton. Charlie Hay- den, principal of Norwood High School, was in attendance after an absence of some few years. He has- n't changed a bit. John E. Sullivan (Revere) had a good story to tell about his being confused with John E. (Beaehmont, now of Ashmont). The latter is now assistant to the president of the Fisher Business College.

In the round table discussion which is always the best part of the eve- ning the usual and, we might say, inevitable, happened. There is al- ways a "star" born on these occa- sions. If it isn't someone "putting over the point" it is another one recounting his life's history or the vicissitudes of married life, or some- thing. This time Jim Sullivan from Everett grabbed the spotlight and regaled the Class members with an account of our civic duties, esp- ecially as they pertained to pro- curing political and professional advancement for B.C. men. Space prevents our reviewing the speech, but those present haven't had as much fun since the night we rode with J. E. on the Narrow Gauge or tried hard to put the point over with R. F.

About two weeks after the meeting I received a letter from the Head- quarters of the Allied Military Gov- ernment — British - United States Zone, Free Territory of Trieste, from Lt. Col. Leo Keefe 7177 Mil. Gov. Det. A.P.O. 209, c/o P.M. New York).

Leo wrote "Your announcement of

16

the Class Reunion for 29 December arrived here today (Jan. 5). While I cannot attend, it is still pleasant to receive the notices. The Alumni Magazine keeps me well posted so that while physically absent, I am always with the old gang in spirit." Leo's family is with him. Originally he was assigned as Judicial Officer for the Province of Venezia, Guilia, having under his direction all the courts of both the Italian, Austrian and Military Government, review- ing cases and occasionally taking a turn on the bench. A scandal in the Public Works Division caused au- thorities to place him in charge of that sphere also. He had a chance to travel a great deal in Italy — likes the country very much. "The Ital- ians are an alert and loveable peo- ple." The present assignment will last for two years. His closing paragraph is significant — "The Army i3 a great professor. My one regret is that I waited so long before undertaking it. It is gratifying to know that B.C. now has an R.O.T.C. unit. You will re- member many years ago my ad- vocacy of such a measure. It would have meant more commissions and higher grades for our graduates. In spite of all that the College did a great job in the war." The next meeting will take place in June when '27 will assemble at the Archdiocesan Eucharistic Shr- ine of St. Clement's to offer up the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for the deceased members of the Class who now number 26. Monsignor Leach will celebrate the Mass. Our sincere sympathy is extended to Ray Finnegan upon the death of his mother, to Jerry Sullivan on the tragic death of his daughter, and to Walter Waldron upon the death of his mother-in-law. Tom Hayes was recently appointed the first bail commissioner in Con- cord. He is also chairman of the Veteran's Housing committee. Father Bede Cameron, C.P., has been assigned to St. Paul's Monas- tery, Pittsburg, Pa., and Father Leo Cunningham is now stationed at S't Frianicis' Parish, South Wey- mouth.

Dont forget the Memorial Mass in June.

1929

JOHN J. SPENCER 527 Broadway, South Boston 27 Jim Dean, the tallest member of the class, visited Boston during the holidays from his Michigan home and was disappointed to find that the annual dinner was not to be held on the customary Thursday after Christmas date. About the dinner, George Donald- son polled a number of members of the class and found that what with tl^e increasing families', of class members the holiday season has become so wearing that it was be- coming more and more difficult for classmates to attend. It has been determined to have the dinner immediately after the Lent- en season and class members will be notified in ample time. Another caller about the dinner was Leo Donahue, the Somerville schoolmaster, who has yet to miss one.

Seen at the Varsity Club dinner at the Copley Plaza, where the fine attendance after a disappointing football season was a tribute to the

17

energy and organizational ability of Attorney John Mahoney, our class president, who served as chairman, were Gene McLaughlin, Attorney Henry Leen and your cor- respondent.

Cheers for Coach Myers at the con- clusion of his moving address were led by Attorney Leen, a vociferous rooter of the T-formation exponent. Henry used to root the same way for Professor Charles Dowd in Fresh D.

Court Clerk Ed Lee and family are at this writing vacationing in Flo- rida, to the ill-concealed envy of his classmates and courthouse as- sociates including the venerable Superior Court Justice whose court- house he deserted for the warmer regions.

Father Joe Connell, S.J., is the first of the Class to hit the motion pic- tures. He appears in several scenes of the Jesuit community in Bagh- dad taken by Father Bernard Hub- bard, S.J., the Glacier Priest, for a motion picture exhibited in Jordan Hall in January.

Father Frank McDonnell is at St. Agatha's, East Milton, after an as- signment at the Church of St. An- drew, the Apostle, Forest Hills. The usual nice Christmas card was received from Harry Kievenaar. The card always depicts the same scene before the fireplace in the family home on Crehore Road, West Roxbury. but the number of persons shown continues to increase stead- ily. This year's card showed four little Kievenarrs with Harry and Jul.

The urbane Bob Hughes was sight- ed entering a new Cadillac (adv.) convertible at Beacon and Charles Streets the other day and shouted an inquiry about the Class dinner. Dr. Bernard Daly is practising med- icine in Lawrence. He has opened an office at 81 East Haverhill Street. Ed Bond has been appointed head of the math department in the Everett public schools. Lt. Comdr. Paul Broderick has been transferred from Texas to the Naval Air Station at Memphis, Tennes- see.

John D. Martin is to be congratula- ted on his appointment as comp-

troller of accounts for the city of Newton.

Father Francis McElroy is now Ex- ecutive Director of the Archdio- cesan Union of Holy Name So- cieties, succeeding Monsignor Don- ovan.

Again, congratulations to Jerry Mahoney on his great job at the Varsity Dinner. Let you know about the dinner

JOHN J. GRANDFIELD 731 Hyde Park Ave., Roslindale 31 After a great deal of serious con- sideration President Jerry McCar- thy reluctantly decided to postpone the annual class dinner and reunion until some time shortly after East- er. The severe winter weather and the accompanying miserable driv- ing conditions coupled with the fact that Lent is early this year forced Jerry into this decision. Jerry and the committee in charge are making plans for a very fine program at this affair, and it is ex- pected that there will be many features to round out a well bal- anced evening for all. A special announcement will be sent to all members of the class as soon as final details have been arranged. Jerry has been troubled with sick- ness in the family but we are happy to learn that things are looking up in the McCarthy household. At press time "Red" Hoban was sweating out a new arrival. He tried to give the impression that he was rather nervous about the whole thing but your inquiring reporter woke our worried prospective fa- ther out of a sound Sunday after- noon nap on the day that Red's family was due to be increased from two to three. Joe Whitehead has established him- self in the real estate and insur- ance business down Cape Cod way. Joe has bought a house and some property on Route 28 next to the water tower at West Dennis, Mass., and has set up his office there. He is specializing in Cape real estate. Joe would be only too pleased to have anyone passing by drop in and say hello. His mailing is Box 151. Dennisport, Mass.

Father "Luke" McGowan was sched- uled to leave for Washington, D.C.. around the first of March to take charge of the new hospital program of the National Catholic Welfare Association. We understand that his duties will include the unifica- tion and standardization of essent- ial policies among Catholic hos- pitals throughout the country. Reports coming in from Lowell in- dicate the family of Dr. Bill Green, formerly of West Roxbury, has had a recent addition in the person of his second son, the fourth child. John Dwyer had the pleasure of dropping in on Bill at his office in downtown Lowell shortly after the first of the year just before the prospective B. C. student arrived on the scene.

John "Mush" Magner was dis- charged from the Navy recently and now is associated with the South End Hardware in Boston's South End. Frank "Connie" Murphy still is carrying on with G.E. in Lynn.

It is surprising to learn that one of our more ardent winter sports enthusiasts is John M. Foley, orig- inally of Roslindale who now lives down Wollaston way. John is re- ported to favor Goff's Falls and North Conway for his skiing activ- ities and is said to be just as healthy looking as ever. Tom Kelly enjoyed an inspection tour of the new control tower at Logan International Airport unde*- the personal supervision of Henry Lynch. Tom recently suffered a frac- tured toe under rather mysterious conditions in the quiet and peace of his home. However, Bill Sullivan, our popular medico, fixed him up and Tom is able to kick just as well as ever now. Dr. "Jack" Foley, formerly of South Boston, very quietly took unto him- self a bride a few months ago a- round Thanksgiving time. The new- lyweds have leased a single house on Beacon Street, Waban, for the present. "Jack" is specializing in the practice of dermatology. His office is located at 1101 Beacon Street, Brookline.

A recent announcement in the Bos- ton papers carried the news of the engagement of John Warren Hav-

erty of Brighton to Margaret Elizabeth Wright of Mattapan. The Bosfon Pilot of January 16th carried a picture of Father Sidney McNeil, S.J., formerly of South'boro, who has been a member of the fa- culty of Baghdad College, Iraq, for a number of years. Although we haven't seen "Sid" for quite a while, it was easy to recognize him in the group picture.

Ed Connelly, the hammer thrower of our day performed in his usual effective manner as the toastmaster at the recent Varsity Club dinner, held at the Copley Plaza. Also seen at the dinner were Fa- thers Ernie Pearsall, Charlie Flan- agan, Arthur Norton and Dr. Dick Gorman, John Gill, George O'Con- nell, Tommy Meagher, all Varsity "B" men.

As far as I know, John C. Barker, who was with us until the end of our Sophomore year, is our only Town Manager. John, who served as Assistant Town Manager of Nor- wood. Mass., has recently been ap- pointed Town Manager of Port Fairfield down in Aroostook County, Maine.

Correction of last column: Bob Graney is principal of the Stone School in Walpole, not Norwood. Bob had a new arrival in the Gra- ney household in June, making four girls and two boys in all.

Leo is one of the few remain- ing members of the Class of '34 "Bachelors' Club". A December issue of "Common- weal" carried a very interesting article by Herb Kenney, entitled

CHARLES A. PHILLIPS, JR.

43 Richfield Road, Arlington 74 t^Sj There's not much reading ma- terial in this corner for this issue and I suppose this can be traced to that wonderful weather we have been plagued with this winter. At any event, all this correspondent has to report is a couple of rumors which will either be denied or con-

25

firmed in the next issue when those classmates who make the news come out of their winter hiberna- tion and make themselves known. Rumor 1N0. 1: Willie Murphy has packed up and gone down Maine where I hear he is Assistant Head- master at some school in that northern state. Rumor No. 2: Jack Fahey, whom we once elected class "social lion" has ceased social Hon- ing and has gone and married him- self off to an Emmanuel girl. My source of information says it was January 10th but we'll have to check this one for more news. Joe Murphy has left Babson's Re- ports and is now working with Mass. Bonding Co. Ernie Damon has been skiing on Maine's snowy slopes in between classes at Tulfts Medical. Jack O'Keefe sent his best to all from St. John's via his Christmas card. And that takes care of all the "news." In the last issue we mentioned rather vaguely the possibility of a class meeting and reunion. The response was overwhelming and heartening. The only catch, how- ever, is that none could agree as ■to the date of the affair. So, may I once again ask all you good gentlemen to communicate direct- ly with this correspondent and after consulting your appointment calen- dars let me know which date is preferable and more convenient. Also, if you will, include a second choice so that some sort of unan- imity as to date may be had. The only restriction is that it be some time in late Feibruary -or March. You can take it ifrom there. I can- not stress the importance and need for such a reunion. We have been out of the college near three years now and it is not too soon to start planning our five-year celebration and gift to the College. Temporary plans have been drawn up and will be presented to you at the forth- coming meeting for your approval. Thus the need for a majority to be present is obvious. Ergo: Please don't delay in sending me the dates you will be available..

DONALD R. MgARDLE 61 Mt. Vernon Avenue, Braintree £&.< A very successful business meeting, of the Class was held at the Hotel Bostonian on November 15. Election of a new Board of Governors was held and the follow- ing men were elected to hold office for the coming year: Gerry Kirby, chairman, Mike Gargan, vice-chair- man, Harry McGrath, treasurer, Tom Patten, secretary, and Ed Boyle, Joe Minahan and Jim Cotter. Several meetings of the new Board have taken place and plans have been made for a Class dinner to be held the latter part of February, a Communion Breakfast and a Spring dance.

The Board has also taken a glance at a very much depleted treasury balance and decided that it would be necessary to assess each mem- ber of the Class for annual dues of $11.00. The purpose of this assess- ment is to establish a permanent working capital for the Class. This working capital is to be a reserve fund that will always be available in oases of emergency when com- mitments have been made for some social function and income has not been large enough to discharge them. It is the hope Of the Board that the drive for funds will be successful and that there will never again be any financial embarrass- ment in the Class of 1944. Belated congratulations and best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Geary, and Mr. and Mrs. John Ogle who were married last Fall. Ed is working for National Gypsum Com- pany and John is with General Electric.

Food News Is Big News

f\ RECENT CHECK of a large metropolitan newspaper revealed that of a total of 483 stories, excluding sports, printed in a single week, 58 referred to food.

Food made 12 per cent of the headlines, including several prominent spots on page one. More items appeared about food than about any other subjects excepting national and inter- national affairs.

Editors know that food news is big news because it deter- mines the health and well-being of every family in the nation and affects the livelihood of millions of Americans engaged in pro- ducing and marketing the things we eat.

A & P has been making food news since 1859 when it was founded on the new principle of straight-line movement of foods from farm and factory to dinner table.

Every time A & P has found a better way of bringing quality food at less cost to more people, it has been news of deep personal interest to millions of American families, for it has given them better shopping conditions and higher living standards.

By doing the nation's most efficient job of food distribution, the men and women of A & P have, for 88 years, been makinc good news for producers and consumers alike.
