Vol. I-No.7 Published By Students Of Fairfield University December 14, 1949
At last Wednesday's meeting
of the Sodality, the club elected
officers for the coming year.
James Gibson w,as elected prefect
of vhe Sodality. Also elected
were: Thaddeus Krok, assistant
prefect; and John Merry, treasurer.
The new officers replace
John McNamara, the former
prefect; Vincent Nemergut, and
George Maty. Frank Clark was
re-elected secretary.
The newly elected officers
plan tentatively to have a formal
reception of those members
of a h1gh school or prep sodality.
These plans scheduled the
reception to take place at a devotional
meeting, yesterday.
By way of explanation, any
member of the student body
may be formally admitted to the
Sodality in accordance with
their policy. The student must
first undergo a period of instruction
.and probation. This
policy does not exist for the purpose
of eliminating candidates
to the Sodality, but rather, to
aid them in becoming more serious
and devout members of an
ol'ganization which occupies an
important position here at
school.

The Glee Club received the
invitation to sing at the Klein
after their impressive perfurmance
last spring in the Barnum
Festival. It was rated the best
above competing ohoral groups,
choruses, and other glee clubs.
The evening's entertainment
will open on a rather robust
note with the singing of the hale
,and hearty "Winter Song" of
Frederic Field BUllard. An effective
contrast will be produced
by the club's rendition of the
solemn Agnus Dei from the
J!I1ass of the Shepherds of Pietro
A. Yon. Romberg's spirited
Stouthearted Men and the
Negro spiritual De Animals aComin'
will complete the first
half of the program. .
After an intermission, the
Glee Club will give its interpre-

,Due to a sudden illness, Mrs.
Clare Booth Luce was unable to
attend F1airfield Unive[''Sity last
Deoember '6, as the second Bellarmine
leoturer of the year.
Mrs. Luce was admitted to a
Boston hospital late on the evening
of December 3, fullowing
a participation in a radio discussion.
Although no report has
been issued as to Mrs. Luce's
health, her check-up included an
x-ray examination.
Reverend Robert MacDonnell,
S.J., who is in charge of the
Bellarmine ledbure serlies, hopes
that Mrs. Luce will be able to
gpeak to the students of Fairfield
before the school year ends.

Winter Formal
At their first meeting yesterday,
the 'Mid-Winter Carnival
dance Committee discussed plans
for the coming dance to be held
at the Ritz Ballroom, Friday,
February 3, 1950, the d,ay after
our Annual Re:trewt. The committee
discussed costs for bids,
band, refreshments and the price
of this year's ticket.
Alfred J. Bown and John E.
Reilly, co-chairmen for the
dance, chose John Gorman to
he'ad the Publicity Committee,
Bob Conroy as chairman of the
Program Committee, Art Laske
as Bids Director, and Bob Walsh
in charge of the Decorations
Committee.
Discussion on the price of the
bids was lively, final price pending
upon the determination of
the allocation of funds. Some
members !felt a u'eduction in price
would be possible but others
favored maintainence of last
year's price would be necessary
to cover the large cost involved.
Bands now being contacted
and investigated include Tommy
Reynolds, Boston and New England
favorite; Al Lombardy who
'has ,appeared at the Ritz on several
engagements; Larry Fotine
and his rhythm and romance

MR. SIMON HARAK
"Please, gentlemen, the 'mf'
over the fifth measure means
'mezza-forte.' Try 11;0 sing it that
way!" The maestro motions to
Mr Ross at the piano, lets his
raised arms drop and .the Fair'
field University Glee Club swells
to the stra·ins of Stoutheart,ed
Men. "No, no, gentlemen," interrupts
the director once again,
"Your attacks are spotty. B gin
with me."
And so continues the drama
of the rehearsal, repeated every
Tuesday aJ1ternoon. If you enjoy
good music, pause for a few
moments, and be enraptured by
the combined efforts of sixty
well-trained voices of /the Glee
CLub. The adjective "well-.tra,ined"
is borrowed from reviews of
C'l'itics after such major successes
as the Barnum Festival,
the St. Vincent Hospital c.oncerts,
and numerous r,adio broadcasts..
But how can such an adjective
be ascribed to the members
of /the Glee Club most of
whom were unable to read music
during their original auditions?
Complete credit must go to the
ingenuity, detailed perfec'tion,
and thorough musical wisdom
found in Mr. Simon Harak's
direction. When offered the
challenge of organiz,ing and
mQulding a glee club out of the
limited enrollment of the original
freshman class, Mr. Harok
did not hesitate a moment, for
he envi,s'aged the possi'bil,ities
such an opportunity offered him,
free reins,' and the complete
backing of the school. But few
realized the actual heights to
which Mr. Harak would eventually
lift the club of .1947 in the

Debating Society
Officers Elected
The Bellarmine Debating Socity
of Fairfield elected the following
officers: Thomas Tierney,
In"esident; Stephen Sedensky,
vice-president; and, Martin
Negro, se'creta'I'Y. The Society is
under the very a'ble direction of
Reverend John L. Clancy, S.J.
This afternoon, the club will
meet in Room 207 in a debate.
The subject resohred is "That
the Communist Party should be
outlawed in ,the United States."
On t'he affirmative side of the
question will be Raymond
Schwartz and Fr'ank Clark. Upholding
the negaitive will be
Francis DiSc'ala and Thomas
Dav·is.
Students are invited to attend
this debate.
Last Wednesday, Thomas Flaherty
and Edward Wall, upholding
the negative, won over John
Fray 'and Joseph Delano, on the
affirmativ-e side. The issue resolved
was '''That Spain should
be 'admitJted to the United Nations."

Student Banquet Postponed;
Several Reasons Offered
The STAG, in the last issue,
erroneously l'eported that rwe
were ,to have a Student Banquet,
Wednesday, November 30. The
'banquet was postponed the day
before the STAG was printed.
No one notified the editors of
the change. The story went James Conklin and John J. ;

with a shrug of the shoulders,
for the opportunity to gwther socially
is excellent.
At a banque,t, the students
would not only be able to talk
to more of their friends, but
would also meet memlbers of Ithe
other 'classes. It can ·be th beginning
of alumni gatherings.
The absence of dormitories here
makes it very difficult to attain
strong student unity. Such unity
is essential !to good alumni associations.
A banquet would als·o introduce
many popular guest speakers
to students. If planned properly
and with ample time allowed
to prepare a program, there is
no reason why the banquet
should not be a success.
The postponement of this recently
planned banquet was decided
by Reverend Robert MacDonnell,
S.J., and James Keating,
chairman, with the official
sanction of the Reverend De'an,
W. Edmnmd FitzGerald, S.J.
Father MadDonnell and Keating
both decided that it would be
best to have the banque!t at a
later date in the school year.
They had many reasons fOT its
postponement. The banquet

PROLOGUE: And the Wmd
was made flesh and dwelt among

CHRISTMAS STORY: Now it
came to pass in those days, that
there went fOirth a decI'ee from
Caesar Augustus that a census of
the whole world should be
taken. This first census took
place while Cyrinus was governor
of Syria. And all were going,
each to his ow:n town, to register.
And Joseph also went from
Galilee out of the town of Nazare
·th into Judea to the town of
David, which is called Bethlehem
- because he was of the
house and family of David-to
register, together with Mary his
espoused Wife, who was with
child. And it came to pass while
,they were there, that the days
for her to be delivered were fulfilled.
And she brought forth her
firstborn son, and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes, and laid
him in a manger, because there
was no room for them in the inn.
(Luke 2:1-7)
COMMEMORATION - 1900:
He was a wise and kindly fathe[O
of many children, this old German
who lived in Boston at the
turn of the century. On Christmas
morning ithroughout the
years, at no little cost and effort
-there were so many of them
-he had always provided some
special treat for his little ones.
This year .would be no exception.
Early on the great day all
·raced downstairs and ru'shed to
empty ~heir stockings of the
long-awaited treasures. The
quickest drew forth his giftjust
an old potato, set it aside
and sought a dark corner ;wherein
to hide his bitter disappointment;
so also ,the others - old
potatoes were left everywhere-with
one ·exception. The eld·est
felt there was an answer to all
this, it was not like Dad. He
turned the potato in his hands,
s'aw the tiny seam and breaking
his unimpressive gift in two,
discovered the gold piece.
After the busy scramble for
the abandoned ,potatoes had
quieted down, the father spoke
up: "My little ones, you were
disappointed; you found nothing
in your stockings but an old
potato - OUTSIDE; INSIDE-a
gold piece. In the church this
morning you will see a cr1b and
in the crib a tiny child, just like
any other child - OUTSIDE;
INSIDE - HE IS GOD.

of Fairfield University's

to undertake the supervision
of the new musical activity. .
The sounds of sharps and flats

of dischords as the boys

was soon after that the harmonious

Too many students take the "STAG" for granted.
They do not know what work was done to put forth the
issue. Neither do they know what minds were behind
the choice of subject matter. It has been edited. They
accept that fact as having no personal bearing on them.
And yet, complaints are heard concerning the subject
matter and its treatment. Some claim that additions
should be made, and express ~heir opinions to their
fellow students. Here the difficulty arises. These
students neglect to submit their ideas to the right individuals
or channels, either in verbal or written form.
The "STAG" is a student publication, published by
students, for stu4ents. Its primary function is satisfac,
tory service to the student body. Those who want
changes made in the "STAG" or wish to make suggestions
should submit their ideas to any of the "STAG'S"
editors. If any ideas are approved and accepted they
willl;>e put into effect and the students will aid in attaining
the first purpose of the "STAG," service and satisfaction.

Plan Dance
For Jan. 7
A <:ommittee of nine men
headed by James Flynn has
been chosen to formulate plans
for 'a dance to be held on January
7, 1950 in Berchmans Hall.
According to the latest report
received from Chairman Flynn,
given ,at a recent meeting of the
Athletic Association, the ticket
price is to be set at $1.25 per
couple. Other details such as the
selection of a band, choice of
refreshments and decorations
have still to be decided upon.
The student body will be further
notified ,of the forthcoming
event by means of posters which
the committee plans to have
made sometime ,before the
Christmas holiday. Tickets are
scheduled to go on sale immediately
,after the holiday.
Other members of the dance
committee include Edward Wasil,
Jack Merry, Rocco Forte,
Bob Walsh, George Keane,
George Birge, John Mills and
John Gorman.
At the last meeting of the
A.A., by way of discussion and
unanimous vote, it was decided
upon by the attending members
that each member of the student
body would be permitted to
purchase four student tickets
with the present3Jtion of a single
A.A. card. Such a plan was put
into action so as to enable the
students to bring non-student
guests to the home games at a
rate which is reasonable. It is
hoped by the association that
,students will take adv,antage of
the offer.
The Athletic Association is to
be commended for the excellent
manner in which they have
gone about assisting Reverend
Edmnmd Walsh, S.J., direct the
athletic activi,ties of 'the college.

Victory; Beat
Hillyer 61-54
The Fairfield Stags snap,ped a
four game losing stre'ak last Friday
by taking Hillyer Coll·ege of
Hartford, 61-54. Led by Joe Kehoe,
who scoTed 19 points, the
Stags stayed ahead otf the Hillyer
five throughout the entire contest.
There was litHe doubt all the
'Way as to the outcome. The aggressiveness
and fight of the
Red Stags ;proved a little too
much for the vlisitors. Ja'ck Mullady
played an excellen!t defensive
.game as well as scoring 13
points, following Kehoe in the
point column. The rest of the
Fairfield scoring was divided
among Ed Sisk, Jack Sullivan,
Joe Regensburger, Joe Miiko, Joe
Kraynick, Jack Moffett and
Harry Marmion.
Both teams missed their shots
in the firs.t half of t'he contest. In
'the second half, however, they
began to connect and the sooring
started to roll. Though the Hillyer
squad fought hard, 1!hey
never managed to come within
only·a few points to tie the game
up. The Stags were n()lt able to
rest since their margin throughout
the contest was so narrow,
they could not slow up.
Hillyer's :Mani,erre sh'ared
scoring honors for t'he evening
with Kehoe by scoring 19, also.
Finney and Munson also starred
for the losers.

Wolverines Down
Tom-Toms 26-12
In Play-off Tilt
On last Wednesday afternoon,
in the face of ;the biting winds
of ,the snow bowl, the Wolverines,
Junior Champs, clinched the
Intra-Mural Football Championship
by defeating the So:phomore
Ch'ampions, the Broken TomToms,
(they can't be beat) by a
score of 26-12.
'The Wolverines, thanks to .the
brilliant running of John Curley,
got off to an early fourt'een point
lead. This Ithey held for the remainder
of the game. In the first
few minutes of the game, Curley
intercepted a pass, and raced
thirty yards for the initial score.
About five minutes later he ,went
'back to pass, could not find a
receiver, and scurried down the
sidelines for twenty yards and a
score.
Towards the end of t'he first
half, Grant Tyler threw a desperation
pass which w,as caught
by John MoCue, he ran the remaining
ten yards wi:thout being
touched. The score at the half
was fourteen Ito six.
In the second half the TomToms,
with the wind, made a
strong comeback. They drove
deep into Wolverine territory
repeatedly, but could not push
the ball over the goal. Interceptions
cost the Tom-Toms t'he vic>
tory. however, with Curley grabIbing
off four aerials a't crucial
moments. Conroy connected
twice in a row aft·er interceptions,
once to Tony Fa'ttLbene,
and again to Paul Zuzick.
Neither extra point attempt was
successful.
In the clo'sing minutes of play,
Gerry Altier.i, star back for the
Tom-Toms, heaved a forty yard
'bomb' to Jim Lenihan, who was
caught on ,the one yard line.
Then demonstrating his great
versatility, Altieri swivel-hip,ped
around left end for the final six
ponts of the game.
The lineups for the two teams

The Jayvees opened their season
by defeating the Knights of
Xavier team. New faces give
Coach Noonan groundwork for
the future. Predictions: Fairfield
to beat Arnold and Bridgeport.
Joe Kehoe, after scoring 15
points in the first game,
couldn't hit in the next two, to
open up in the fashion of last
year's consistent scoring. Capfain
J·ack Sullivan at this writing
has hit for double figuTes in
every game. "Sully". was the big
gun in bringing F. U. ba,ck
against Brooklyn College. He
scored all his 13 points in the
last half. That evening Joe Regensburger
topped all F,airfield
scorers with 14 points. Joe's fine
playmaking is more th'an evidenll
but his work on defense deselrves
high prais'e, too.
Intramural Basketball has begun
and it seems the Math
majors find their knowledge of
wind velocity and such mighty
handy. The Pl'e~eds don',t play
for fear of a cold while the S.S.
boys "loaded wi,th work" play all
day.
Speaking of sports, Ping Pbng
seems to dominate the activities
in the cafeteria, next to cards of
course. If this school doesn't turn
out a national champ it will cerItainly
be a sUl'p;rise. "Pancho" is
'trying to change his residence to
the ping pong table.
Come spring, watch for announcements
on Baseball, Tennis
and Golf teams.

The appropriate word to describe
the recent pep rally is success.
Our hats off to the A.A.
and to the co-chairmen Gus Horvath
and Bernie Beglane.
Playing their first home game
agains.t iBrooklyn College the
Stags for the third time more
than mildly surp;r,ised their opponen'ts.
In these first three
games the Jacks and J oes from
F. U. jumped to an early lead,
lost it, but then 'came back in
fighting style to make a real ,ball
game of it.
TheN~ is nothing more encouraging
than a home town crowd.
Ask any ball player and he'll
acknowledge this. In opposition
to this we have the away games
in which a visiting team is definitely
lacking the asset of moral
support. Of course the whok~
student body couldn't follow
Fairfield on the road but in
every game thus far a minority
of f.ellows hav'e travelled to the
away engagements. Though surpassed
by a home town roar,
their shouts and cheers for "old"
Fairfield U. are indeed welcome.
Keep it up boys.
