Ryan. M!J.ster of Ceremonies
Although particulars on the
Junior Smoker have been vague
and few in number, chairman
John Gorman has announced
that an evening of diversified
entertainment has been planned
with talent gleaned from the
ranks of the Junior class. The
admission price has been established
at $1.00 and members of
the entire student body may
attend. The main features of the
evening include a guest speaker
and a series of four skits. William
Ryan will officiate as master
of ceremonies. The guest
sp.eaker, as yet not determined,
wlll probably be a prominent
figure in sports.
While information of the exact
nature of the skits remains
nebulous, Mr. Gorman stated
that the first was to be a comic
opera followed by a production
based on the theme, "Pioneers
of Fairfield." Mr. Gorman expressed
reluctance to elaborate
further on the remaining skits.
He did, however, state that one
of the two was written by John
Merry. Refreshments are to be
served during the course of the
evening; arrangements are being
made under chairman Raymond
Rossamondo. The evening's entertainment
is scheduled to begin
at 8 p.m. The remaining
committeemen include Rudy
Ross, Raymond O'Connor, Frank
Prior, Frank DiScala, John
Heckler, Edward Gubbins, Robert
Butler and Ciro Veneruso.
College Night To
Include Variety
Of Programs
By FRANK WOODS
An evening's entertainment
second to none is in store for
those who present themselves at
Berchmans Hall before 8:15 tonight.
Paul McCarthy and Steve
Czel, co-chairman of the first
annual COLLEGE NIGHT, have
arranged a program that should
suit all tastes.
Promptly at 8:15, John Heckler,
the master of ceremonies,
will launch the proceedings by
introducing the Adenoid Eight,
our own Octet, who will bare
their tonsils and flash the ivories
in their own inimitable way.
The fame of these fellows is now
widespread and to hear their
dulcet tones is alone worth the
price of admission.
When these phonetic fellows
have taken their tenth and last
bow the stage will be cleared of
all debris to allow the Dramatic
Society to hold forth. The future
Barrymores and Oliviers will
present an original skit. These
thrasonical thespians will thread
their way through their threnody,
thrilling the throngs with
their Thucydidean thunder.
Thakespeare, I mean Shakespeare
would have loved this.
When the crepe has been shorn
from the stage our two Arthur
Godfreys for the evening, Frank
Perry and Bill Scanlon, will present

Frosh-Soph
By WALTER LEE
Chairman Jack Connell announced this week that
he had contracted Mal Hallett and his orcheS'tra for the
Freshman-Sophomore Prom, at the Ritz Ballroom, May
5th. Connell also announced that he and his hard working
Prom Committee had completed all plans for the
dance.
More than 150 couples are ex-I
pected to attend. The dance will
begin at 9 and will last until 1
a.m. Connell added that white
or bl~ck jackets are optional.
Mal Hallett's orchestra has
been a top favorite since the
earliest days of big name bands.
His theme song "Boston Tea
Party," has been heaTd over
every major network, in Warner
Brothers shorts, in the major
hotels, and in every important
theater in the musical circuit.
Hallett has a mixed offering of
sweet and dreamy tunes lined
up for the Prom plus what
Chairman Connell describes as
"ear-catching novelties."
Hallett has a unique reputation
in uncovering hidden talent.
He discovered such men as
Gene Krupa, Jack Teagarden,
Jack Jenny, Toots Mondello and
Frankie Carle. Mal's current
group has received rave notices
as being the best ever with particular
orchids for Dick Taylor's
trombone handling and the
vocals of Dorcea Vincent.
Prom bids are on sale in the
cafeteria during school hours or
may be obtained from committeemen:
John Kush, WilHam
Scanlon, Joseph McEnany, William
Curnin, Charles Black,
John Broderick, Cormad Sternchak,
Richard Landy, Robert
Steele, Harold Mullen, Paul
MoCarthy and J'ohn Stevens.
According to Rev. R. MacDonnell,
S.J., Sophomores will not
be invited to the Junior Prom,
to be held at the New Haven
Lawn Club that same evening.
Considering this, Mr. Connell
hopes the Freshmen and Sophomores
will support their own
prom and assure its social success.

The Solemnity of Saint Joseph:
"Thou, Joseph, art the glory of
the Blessed, the sure hope of our
life and the pillar of the world: .
kindly accept the praises we
gladly sing to thee, The Creator
of the world appointed thee the
spouse of the most pure Virgin,
and willed that thou be called
the father of the Word; ... Rejoicing
thou didst look upon the
Redeemer, Him whose coming
the choir of Prophets had foretold;
thou didst humbly adore
the new-born God. God, the
King of kings, the Ruler of the
world, at whose nod the hosts
of Hell tremble, whom the heavens
serve, makes Himself serve
thee." (Hymn from the Divine
Office of this Feast)
The Vocation of Saint Joseph:
"Between these two missions
(i.e. of Saint John the Baptist
and Saint Peter) there appears
that of Saint Joseph, a mission
hidden, silent, almost unperceived
and unknown, which was
to be brought into the light only
centuries later, a silence, no
doubt, which had to be succeeded-
but only long afterwardby
a resounding song of glory,
As a matter of fact, where the
mystery is more profound, where
the shadows of darkness are
thicker, where the silence is
more profound, there it is that
the mission is more exalted and
the galaxy of virtues more brilliant
together with the merits
needed to reflect those virtues.
His was a unique and momentous
mission, the protection of the
Son of God and the King of the
world, the protection of the virginity
and the holiness of Mary
-the singular mission of sharing
in the great mystery hidden
from the eyes of the centuries
and cooperating in the Incarnation
and Redemption! The holiness
of Joseph lies in the faithful
accomplishment of this mission
that was so exalted and so
lowly, so sublime and so hidden,
so brilliant and so obscured in
shadow." (From an address of
Pius XI on the oc'casion of the
decree of heroicity of the virtues
of Venerable Jeanne Elizabeth
Bichier des Ages.)
The Vocation of the Priesthood:
"Look at the parallel between
St. Joseph and Catholic
priests ... What are exposition,
procession, benediction, communion,
locking and unlocking
the tabernacle, carrying the
Blessed Sacrament to the sick,
but so much imitation of what
Joseph did to the Child Jesus?
Only that which was his unique
prerogative, now belong' to the
multitudes of priests ... (From
the Blessed Sacrament, by F. W.
Faber)

StudentCouncilNotes
Others who took part in the
contest were Marshall Bridgewater,
Gerard Mohyde, George
Thomas, John Fray, and Richard
Landy. The judges for the
affair were the Rev. Arthur
MacGillivray, S.J., and Messrs.
Matthew McCarthy and Carmen
Donnarumma.
Relihan Wins Soph
Elocution Contest
On the afternoon of March 28,
the Sophomore Elocution Contest
was held before an intent
audience of college men, in the
auditorium of Berchmans Hall.
John Relihan, speaking on the
topic "Socialized Medicine"
emerged as the wi.nner. Second
place went to Judson Bump,
whose subject was "The Atomic
Bomb."
The Student Council held its
regular meeting April 18, 1950.
The president asked for the
weekly report of the various
committees.
The Activities Committee requested
the sum of $15 to cover
the initial. expenses of College
Night, and the approval of May
19, 1950 for a Triangle Club
dance. Both requests were
granted.
There were no reports from
the Financial, Legislative, Athletic,
Publicity and Grievance
Committees. The president received
a revised -form of the
Constitution, submitted by
Joseph Regensburger. Action on
it was deferred to a later meeting.
The following motions were
acted upon by the Council:
Mr. Scanlon proposed that the
Financial Committee investigate
the possibility of taxing all social
events to augment the Student
Fund. Passed unanimously.
Mr. Keating proposed that the
Student Council authorize the
purchase of Fairfield University
pE:nnants which are to be sent
to those Jesuit schools which
have sent us their pennants.
Passed unanimously.
Mr. DiScala proposed that
public notice be given two weeks
in advance to the entire student
body of the selection of the
chairman of the Winter Carnival,
so that all those who wish
to be considered for this post
may have sufficient time to contact
their Student Council representative.
Passed unanimously.
Mr. DiScala proposed that
every six weeks, 500 copies of
the important minutes of the
Council be printed and made
available to the student body.
Passed unanimously.
The president of the Council
read a copy of the election rules
of another Jesuit Institution.
The rules were accepeted by the
Council to be used here at Fairfield
for the election of' class
officers. The Council decided
that the date of elections for
class officers will be May 4, 1950.
Letter To
The Editor
The small boy gnpmg in the
Junior Class has recently been
on the increase. Why? Because
class elections were approaching.
As the class elections approached
the griping increased.
That there was a definite connection
between the two-elections
and griping-can be shown
by examining the gripes-their
type, their source, the reason
why they are advanced, and
the manner in which they are
advanced.

Carnival in 1947, will
provide the musical background.
One of the most colorful and import
events of college days and
the first such event at Fairfield,
it is hoped that attendance will
be as complete as possible.
Formal black dress has been
prescribed for the evening and
corsages will be permitted.
While seating accommodations
will be available, there will not
be tables since only 90 couples
could be satisfactorily· accommodated.
Those escorted to the
Promenade will be presented
with miniature evening compacts.
Refreshments are to be
served during intermission, during
which time there will be a
planned entertainment.
New Haven was selected as
the location of the Promenade
on the basis of a popular poll
conducted after a Junior class
assembly at which time Harley
S. Black was announced as
chairman. The New Haven Lawn
Club was selected as the site
which offered the best accommodations
in the New Haven
area. The exclusive Lawn Club
has a spacious ballroom, surrounded
by a foyer, and a terrace
which will be utilized,
weather permitting. Dr. William

Lawn Club, will act as sponsor.

And this is a new twist; the
new constitution gives as one of
the objectives of the club - a
clambake! If that's an objective,
then the Biology lab should supply
the clams.
Metropolitan Club
The habitues of Stillmans
Gym, 8th Avenue, N.Y.C., were
treated to an influx of comparatively
refined young men, when
the Met Club held its Spring
Dance during Easter week.
Nevertheless, the affair was a
success, the hall nice, the band
good, and I believe everyone enjoyed
themselves, even if many
members were conspicuous by
their absence. This might cause
some comment, but Gene Galletta's
girl- friend won that television

After a real close race, the
Valley Club has come in ahead
of the other regional clubs, and
has set up a scholarship fund.
It has also been cleared through
the Dean's office, which has reserved
the right to make the
final choice as to the student
selected.
These boys deserve some

This must mean that there is
some new type of material being
mixed in the film, and does not
pertain to the movies themselves.

It has been said that for once,
Hollywood is not exaggeratingmaybe
it's just a plain lie.
No polls have been made on
this topic, and I don't believe
that it is one of the questions
being asked this year by the
census bureau.
Most people think that the
only improvement in the cinema
in recent years has been the addition
of the pop-corn machine.

No proof has been given to
support this claim-no independent
laboratory has conducted
a thirty-day test-no doctor
has claimed the new movie releases
to be "definitely less
irritating."
Many of the students who abstained
from the movies during
Lent have probably noticed the
latest slogan-Movies Are Better
Than Ever.

Are you one of those unfortunates
of the first, second, and
sixth periods? You are? Then my
heart feels for you! Those happy
youths engaged in a full day'
schedule have m)!. complete
envy . . . the others, my complete
understanding. If you are
getting fed up with the constant
wandering along the sea of
fishes, reading on may appease
your fatigued brain.
According to the students, the
easiest day is the one with the
least number of classes. By this
time they should realize, however,
that the natural outcome
of this is a great number of
ordeals, especially when a couple
of free periods intervene.
Our troubles begin in the library.
All we have to do is look
like we're studying and "wha'
hoppens?" ... three guys carry
on a six-way conversation. And
they're Juniors, no less! After
ten minutes we guess we've had
enough of this Fifth Avenue silence
and walk out, eyeing that
peculiar sign, "Please be Quiet."
Second floor. Empty class
room? ... not quite! Greetings,
Sophomores! Ah, here are some
boys who have a use for free
time. Everything is rosy now,
and Belloc's Unknown Country
seems rather interesting . . .
even if the fellows are whispering,
laughing ... now singing
and tapping their feet! Thompson
never knew how right he
was! (Pardon the corruption.)
They beat-and the voices
beat.
Not more instant than the feet.
So with a hurrying chase, and
a much perturbed pace.
We be'at ... and with majestic
instancy at that.
Look ... Accounting Lab! Oh,
so quiet! What's that? No, I
don't take Accounting. Can't
stay here? (This space censured)
Whew! Fourth floor, the next
step to heaven. (Wonder if it's
noisy there.) Noone will come
up this high! Listen ... the door
. . . a barrel coming through it.
Oh there' a man behind it pushing.
Gee, we're in the way. ~is
