High graduate from Hartford,
Conn., has made his presence
well known on campus through
his numerous academic and ex­tra-

served as President of the
Student Council during his sen­ior
year as well as being very
active in the Glee Club, Drama

By PAT WAIDE
In September of 1955, two-hundred and seventy-five appre­hensive,
yet confident freshmen, began their collegiate education
at Fairfield University. Next month the members of that e1ass,
minus about seventy-five of the original freshmen and augment­ed
by about twenty-five transferees, will receive their bachelor's
degrees at the University's Commencement exercises.
This brief historical description of the present seniors is
most inadequate and unfair. The class of 1959 did not come to
Fairfield solely to be graduated four years later, but rather its
members arrived at the University to secure a comprehensive
liberal arts education and in the process to develop qualities of
leadership and industry in themselves. They did not need pri­vate
invitations to join this or that activity, nor did they need
to be sought out to attend the various Bellarmine Lectures
sponsored by the University during the past four years. Par­ticipation
in Fairfield's extra-curricular activity program and
attendance at the guest lectures were viewed as necessities by
the present graduating class in their preparation to be erudite
leaders in the future's educational, medicine, legal and business
circles. .
Academically the '59 class does not have outstanding geniuses
and "summa cum laude" graduates, but it has been blessed in
another manner. A greater percentage of its seniors have at­tained
an 85% or better scholastic average in comparison with
classes of comparable educational institutions and size. In addi­tion
it has been this top academic group which has been the
most active in the extra-curricular program. They have will­ingly
given their time, and their efforts have been to make the
activities of their choice the best in relation to those of other
colleges. These members of the class of 1959 certainly have
realized their objective in coming to Fairfield; they have distin­guished
themselves scholastically in obtaining a liberal arts edu­cation
and they have developed their leadership ability through
their extensive participation in Fairfield's extra-curricular activi­ties.
I do not inetnd to be misleading in citing the achievements
of the class of 1959. It unfortunately has its group of perennial
card players, who also manage to be the "do nothings" and the
"complainers," but this group, thank God, has been a very small
portion, and therefore I do not believe my statements about the
senior class are too much of an oversimplification.
There are many accomplishments and innovations of the
class of 1959 in which they can justly take pride. Besides organ­izing
or helping in the establishment of ten new extra-curricular
activities and three area clubs during the past four years, the
senior class under the competent leadership _and imaginative
ability of its President, Bob Healy, developed more enjoyable
social weekends and bequeathed to the classes that follow it,
dynamic ways of raising' money. Yet above all these accom­plishments
I believe there is something else for which our class
deserves the most congratulations. It is something which has
perm~ated all its undertakings and has become so natural to it,
that Its members are seldom conscious of its presence. In Sep­tember
of 1955 there was not only two-hundred seventy-five new
freshmen at Fairfield, but there was also the first campus dormi­tory.
That freshman class of '55 was the first at Fairfield to
have its members divided into resident and day students. The
adjustment at first was a little difficult but as time elapsed the
unity within the class became more rigid. It is this class unity,
I believe, which has made its undertakings most successful as
well as the activities which the seniors now leave. This unity
and the lack of dissension or bickering between 1959's resident
and day students, is something about which Fairfield can be
most proud. Indeed it is a credit to the seniors who made the
unity so vital.
When we graduate from our beloved college, we do not
receive a diploma marked resident student or day student at
Fairfield University. All the graduating members of the class
receive the same diploma save for qualification as to name, de­gree,
and honors. This unity of diplomas certainly has been ful­filled
by the unity in spirit evident in the class of 1959. The
senior class has showed the way, and I hope that in whatever
manner the classes which follow may imitate us, foremost will
be the unity between their resident and day students. I am
sure the members of the class of 1959 would most prefer for
Fairfield to remember it in this way.

Idle Mind
THE STAG
By JOE MONAHAN
To round out the year's work,
this column would like to salute
the Class of 1962, which, in its
first year has made a real con­tribution
to the intellectual life
here at Fairfield. I refer spe­cifically
to the foundation of the
Bellarmine Forum, which proni­ises
to offer many a stimulat­ing
evening in the future.
More than a lecture series, the
Forum seeks to provide a
speaker who is willing to pre­sent,
discuss, and - if need be
- argue his opinion on a con­troversial
topic before a small,
but interested and thoughtful
audience. A concrete exa,mple
of the success of this plan was
the Forum's evening with Mr.
Alex Ross, the celebrated maga­zine
illustrator. Mr. Ross, a
friendly and warm speaker,
proved to be a perfect subject
for the verbal dissection per­formed
upon him both by him­self
and by those attending.
To start the evening off, Mr.
Ross presented himself as one
who believes that it is possible
for an artist to fly two flags;
one, of the draftsman, who seeks
to "re-present" the physical
world as seen by all; and the
other, of the "abstract" artist,
who presents a world of color
and design, as seen within the
imagination and emotions of the
painter. To illustrate his theory,
Mr. Ross displayed various
works of his own in both styles,
some of which had appeared as
illustrations in leading national
magazines.
Although there is little need
for me to describe the realistic
naintings shown, beyond saying
that they were wonderfully ac­curate,
it would perhaps be
well to recall the spirit of the
non-representative pieces. One,
which impressed everyone pres­ent
- even those who profess­ed
not to "understand" it, was
a very colorful arrangement of
varying squares, grouped about
a form which can best be de­scribed
as S-shaped. (Mr. Ross
told the group that the picture
originally was a design for a
sport shirt) Since the smaller
squares continued more or less
horizontally across the picture,
Mr. Ross ventured to guess that
the average viewer would find
2. "processional" idea in the pic­ture.
Certainly, from the variety
of colors employed, and the in­tricate,
multi-faceted internal
form of the painting, motion
and brillance were strongly
suggested.
Another of the non-represen­tative
paintings, one entitled
"The Annunciation," attracted
much attention. Here the sug­gestion
of the angel - a form­less,
spiritual aura - was con­trasted
with kneeling figure,
easily identifiable as the Virgin.
The artist used the water-color
brush to impress the viewer
with a sense -of the importance
of what was left out, rather
than what was there; and thus
the painting truly presented, in
abstraction, the awe of that par­ticular
scene.
To demonstrate that an artist
might be successful - both
artistically and materially ­inhabiting
both worlds at once,
Mr. Ross showed several maga­zine
illustrations of his own
which combined both represen­tational
and non-representation­al
techniques.
After these orientating re-

STUDENT REFLECTS HIS SCHOOL
With the end of the school year rapidly approaching, the.
anticipation of a big summer has now become a prominent sub­ject
of conversation around campus. There's talk of summer
jobs, graduation and, in some cases, a trip to Europe. Yes, as
each one of us will make new acquaintances; visit various places
for the. first time and acquire new habits, some good and in­evitably
some bad.
In the face of all this, it must be remembered that each
and everyone of us is a personal representative of Fairfield..
University. Our school, growing rapidly with the passing of
each year is no longer a "Where is that situated, I've never:.
heard of that institution before?" With the success of our grad­uates
and the ever increasing enrollment of undergraduates, the
name of Fairfield is now being heard in circles all over the
United States. Potential graduates of high schools up and
down the eastern seaboard are now placing the name of Fair­field
on their list of colleges they would like to attend. All this
is the stage of notoriety that our institution is now receiving.
The main source of this advertising campaign is the student
body by their achievements both during the school year and
the summer recess. Such is the point I wish to make. Each one
of us can either continue this movement in a way that is bene­ficial
to the University and the student body by actions of a
proper nature for a college student or by an action that points
him out as a man whose education has taught him to' be an
obnoxious individual (and in consequence will) be a very detri­mental
factor in our good· will campaign.
In conclusion, I would just like to say that when June ar·
rives and you're about to begin your vacation, stop and think
of your position as a student and prospective graduate of Fair­field
and do not partake in any activity that in any way be
viewed as action unbecoming a Catholic college student. We
are the ones that will suffer the consequences if this unfortunate
occurrence does present itself.
The Junior class deserves a well warranted 'pat on the
back' for their excellent support of the Dogwood Festival. Ii
must have been gratifying for those who organized and persented
the weekend to see thai such a good number of their usually
complacent classmates finally came out to: play a role as a part
of the class to which they belong. The consensus of opinion
seems to hail the weekend itself as hard. to equal and credit for
this belongs primarily with its chairman, Ernie Garrity; Dino
Genga who handled the finances; Tony Giordano, president of
the junior class, and all the other various committees,
Ii is not wishful thinking when I say that if the members
cif the present junior class carry themselves as well as ihey did
in this endeavor, next year, senior year will prove a success for
every member involved.

C.ct\MPUS PERSONALITY
As valedictorian of this year's
senior class, Pat Waide culmin­ates
his active four years at
Fairfield with a m u c h sought
after distinction.
Commuting each day from his
home in Greenwich, Conn., Pat
a graduate of Iona Prep in New
Rochelle, has proven himself to
be a valuable asset to his class
and the University.
He considers his most import­ant
activity to be the Sodality
in which he is a member of
the Council, and has also been
recently awarded, along with
three other Fairfield seniors a
gold pin by the national board
in St. Louis for his outstanding
work in the Sodality movement.
Mr. Waide has also been ac­tive

VARIANTS
By GEOFFREY STOKES
Among the recent year-end activities sponsored by the vari­ous
clubs, the most spectacular was the New Jersey Club's
"Money, money, who's got the money?" party. While this was
a novel idea, and provided wholesome entertainment for most
of the members, it'seems hardly worth the time and trouble
involved. Because of this financial carelessness and the
possibility of future fiascos by other clubs, it is advisable that
the activities committee of the newly elected Student Council
arranges some financial check on the clubs whose constitutions
it holds. The happenings earlier this year within the same club
have proven the uselessness of expulsion from a club as a punish­ment
for mishandling of assets. Chief among this censure's
failures is that it doesn't get the money back to the club's treas­ury.
The Student Council should therefore either order a re­draft
of constitutions to provide for any future disappearances,
or assign an officer to police all the clubs and their finances.
I have a few lines left, so I'll put at the bottom of the col­umn
something that should be on top in great blazing headlines,
the type that the Times is saving for the Martian invasion. (This
is going to sound horribly mawkish, but it's the only way to
do it.) A truly fine class is leaving Fairfield this year. They
,will be sorely missed, not only in those activities in which they
took an active part, but in those which they criticized, such as
this one. THis is getting ridiculous - Happy work, grad school,
or (shudder) Army.
Sodality Report
Lists Activities
Recently, the Sodality of Our
Lady at Fairfield University re­leased
the first of a series of an­nual
reports on the organiza­tion's
activities. This report ex­plains
the various projects of
Fairfield's Sodality, the aimS,
labors, successes, and failures of
our Apostolate. Prefect Jack
Seery hopes "to spread, through
this report, a better under­standing
of the Sodality on our
campus, acquaint our Sodalists
with a rounded view of our
Sodality, and leave a written re­port
for the Fairfield Sodalists
of the future as a guide for
them."
The report, in toto, breaks
down into the reports of the
:welve committees, which are
the main divisions of the Sodal­:,
ty's work here on campus. The
most imoressive of these twelve
reports -are those of the CCD,
the Dactylology Section, and
the Mission section.
According to Rule 12 of the
Common Rules of the Sodalities
of Our Lady, "the goal of So­dalites
is an effective spiritual
influence on others." Our Sodal­ity
fulfills this duty by assisting
the local parishes in the religi­ous
instruction of Catholic stu­dents
attending public schools.
Once the Confraternity becomes
well-organized in any given
parish, our Sodalists step out
and go to other places that still
need teachers.
The Dactylology Section of
the Sodality aims at helping
any and all Catholics who are
afflicted with deafness and the
lack of ordinary speech. Be­cause
of the tremendous handi­cap
which these people have,
they are usually poorly instruct­ed
in the rudiments of their
faith. Without some religious
reminder every month, a num­ber
of them would obviously1---------------------------­fall
away from the Faith. Our
Sodalists. at present, have a
limited knowledge of the sign
language and can only passively
assist in the spiritual aid of
these people, by organizing ac­tivities
for them. The future
calls for a more active partici­pation
of the deaf-mutes in the
work of the monthly meetings
held here on campus. The So­dality
also plans to train some
of its members in the sign
language.
Closer to the hearts and pock­etbooks
of each Fairfield stud­ent
is the Missions Section. Con­tributions
on Wednesdays, stamp
collections, Christmas card sales
proceeds, "Dollar day" revenue
and sales to the Jesuit Missions
Magazine are all given over to
the missions. Over the past five
years the students have sent a
total exceeding five thousand
five hundred dollars to the mis­sions.
This section has also been
the sponsors of the special de­votion,
called the Xavier Bands,
which is organized, so that on
certain days students attend
Mass and offer their prayers for ii============================il
the success of the missions.
There are, of course, many
other activities in which the So­dality
is engaged, however there
is not space to cover them all,
nevertheless they are an inte­gral
part of Sodality life.
The Sodality is a way of life,
and here at Fairfield in its tra­dition
stage, our Sodalists are
trained in its work and thus pre­pare
to go out into the world
doing their part in the mission
which we all have as members
of the Mystical Body.
By MIKE FRATANTUNO
Recently there has appeared on our fair campus a phenomenon
known in some circles as "hawking." This has proved to be a
popular addition to Springtime Sunday activities. The "hawkers"
are groups of individuals who seat themselves on curbs, outside
stairways, on the grass, etc. Their job is to check the cars that
may attempt to use the campus as a thruway on a peaceful Sun­day
afternoon. Such tactics as use of binoculars for long-range
checks, and human roadblocks for a definite stop are popular.
Hawkers use secret signals much the same as our American
Indian, to lure their prey. Long low whistles and cries of
"Ginch! Stoo that car!" fill the austere scholastic air. The hawk­ers
do not stop just any car, however. They are very p~rticular
as to whom they signal. The man on the binoculars will give
a brief, sketchy description of the contents of a given car.
Something like: "Routine load: Sight-seers, man, woman, two
kids, elderly lady - probably grandmother" (it is for groups
like these that the men cheer as they go over the Gonzaga rut
at 45 m.p.h.). It is necessary for the binocular men to have
good eyes, because if he gives a description that is too far
wrong, fifteen or twenty young men stone him immediately and
elect a new man for the job. At times the hawking teams are
as well-disciplined as a Navy gun crew. On a cry "Bingo!" or
"Jackpot!" every young eye is turned to the car in question, ;"Ind
if the young ladies are presumptuous enough to stop, several
reconnaissance men will approach the car for a closer check.
They then report to the group as to hair, eyes, condition of skin,
figure, and the make, model and horsepower of the car. ..
The group holds a brief caucus, and then renders deClSlOn.
If the girl (s) is not acceptable, the group sets upon her ear
and tears it to pieces, after which they give her a warning to
stay off the campus since their time is too valuable to waste on
unnecessary decisions. If the girl (s) is rendered acceptable, a
select group will set upon her car and try to charm her. 'The
members of the group are quite chivalrous about who gets to
the car first. It is the principle of "survival of the fittest." If
the girl is really nice, fist-fights will occur, carefree students
will toss each other under the wheels of other passing cars, and
a healthy spirit of competition develops. There has never been
a report that "hawking" has caused any real trouble on the
campus, but it has not gone unnoticed by many members of the
faculty. There is a growing feeling of resentment about the
phenomenon, and word has reached us that there may be a

I am not free to be opinionated on the issue, because if I
state my opinion, I would be a likely candidate for the list men­tioned
above. Therefore I will close on this thought: "Boys will

A Story Of The Times Or The
Collegiate Putnam's Landing
Names have been left out to protect the innocent.
,In the gentle hills of rolling Fairfield County, there lies a
community known as Fairfield. In the center of this haven for
besieged Grey Flannel Men, nestles a university. Spacious and
beautiful in true campus tradition, Fairfield University lives on
in the hearts of students, alumni, parents, College of New Rochelle
and the citizens of the aforementioned community. The STAG
will attempt to present a varied and impersonal consensus of
current opinion - courageously and hardheartedly.
1. North Benson Road housewife: "Oh, well, I don't dislike
the University, (pause) but tell those mean boys to stop dropping
cigarette ashes and the like all over the gutters!"
2. Barlow Road housewife: "Well, to tell you the truth, darling,
(long inhale) I've never really contemplated the matter to any
great extent."
3. Waitress, all-night vacation diner: "I think some of the
boys are swell . . . .!"
4. Law enforcement representative: "NO COMMENT ! ! "
5. Businessmen: "The University has increased and steadied
our business very much."
6. Merritt Parkway and Conn. Turnpike (by means of per­sonification)
"They always seem to be late."
7. Female high school senior: "I'm very glad We have a men's
college in Fairfield."
8. Male high school senior: "Well, I'M NOT! ! "
9. Restaurant specializing in steaks: "Yes, the University gives
us a lot of business." "No, not too much in the dining room."
10. Movie theater: "WE can never understand why more of
the boys don't come on Saturday - aren't they allowed out on
Saturday nights?"
One lone STAG reporter didn't go any further.

Due to the fact that the Senior

By BILL KRAMER
This corner recently attended one of the greatest
sports spectacles of the year - the Kentucky Derby. It
wasn't anyone particular thing that will make this
weekend last in my mind, but a collection of many. The
oft repeated phrases about Southern hospitality were
borne out to their fullest extent as doors were opened
and people went out of their way to help us have an
unforgettable weekend. The people were the openly
warmest and most hospitable this corner has ever en­countered.
The Derby itself, which was billed as a race
without a true champion, turned out to be the most
exciting since Broker's Tip won in that famous stretch
duel twenty-five years ago. And finally the state, the
countryside which was as beautiful and clean as these
eyes have seen in all the forty-eight, oops, I mean fifty.
Post~ Hartford BeatenBy Stag

Kevin Walsh takes a cut in Hartford game
Coach Frank Ferroleto's Fairfield University Base­ball
Squad won its third and fourth games this season
by downing C. W. Post College, 7-6, and the University
of Hartford, 9-6. Both these victories were non-league
tussles.
Intramural Softball
Races Running Close
Although there has been ter­rific
competitive spirit in both
leagues, fair play and enjoy­ment
has been the rule. As
for the final standings of the
league, I'm afraid that I'll still
have to uttetr the famous bat­tle
cry of the Red Sox, "Wait
'til next year."
Another successful intramural
softball season is rapidly draw­ing
to a close. In the upper­classman
league, Garrity's team
is currently leading the circuit
followed closely by MacMur­ray's,
O'Keefe's and Mencio's.
A few of the outstanding ball­players
on the diamond are fire­baller
Frank McGowan and
Mike Mullen who is one of the
best fielders in the league.
The freshman race for the
pennant is tighter than a Tom
Brewer loss. In fact, Mr. Soft­ball,
John Creed has scheduled
extra playoff games to decide '.
the outcome. At the present time
there's a three-way- tie for first
place between Arnold's, Papa's
and Browne's squads. The ace
of the mound in this circuit
seems to be Frank Hendricks
whose record stands at two
wins and no losses.
* * *
The success of the Tennis team can only be attri­buted
to determination and hard work. The jump from
an informal club, through a mediocre 2-2 season last
year to the most successful varsity sport on campus was
by no means accomplished by a s:troke of luck. Con­gratulations
to everyone on the team, the Dowd broth­ers,
Joel Cherrytree, Paul McGuire, Mike Flaherty, Bob
Melican, Tad Dowd and last but certainly not least, the
man who worked the hardest, Captain Larry Lessing.
Anyone who has ventured over to Alumni field this
year will notice a vast improvement in the baseball
team. They are not world beaters but with only three
seniors the old Brooklyn cry can be heard "Wait till
next year."
Speaking of next year, since this is the last issue;
I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to
the student body for giving us so much sports material
to write about during the year. May you all have a
healthy summer and give me even more to write about
next year.

SPORTS PERSONALITIES
----------------------------0 In Bookville, L.L, senior Dave
Toomey went the route to notch
his second victory while striking
out five and walking three to
beat the Post team.
The Stags put together twelve
hits and thirteen bases on balls
to cross the plate seven times.
John Bruzas and Kev Walsh
split six hits between them.
Frank Tracy and Harry Hyra
collected two hits apiece. The
Post pitcher gave up five walks
to Dick Lorenzo alone. He had
only one official time at bat.
The U. of Hartford team was
victim number four for Fair­field.
The Stags took advantage
of nine Hartford errors and six
hits to score nine runs. Fairfield
jumped to the lead with a single
tally in the first and five big
runs in the second, highlighted
by John Bruzas's two out
double driving in two runs.
After Hartford scored three
times in the top of the fourth,
Fairfield came back with two
in their half of the inning ­without
a hit! Tracy led off with
a walk, Toomey reached first on
an error, Tracy going to third.
Toomey stole second and on the
overthrow by the catcher Tracy
scored and Toomey advanced to
third. Dave scored on a wild
pitch. Toomey who relieved
starter Kev Walsh in the three
run fourth of Hartford held
them in check allowing one run
in the fifth and two more in the
eighth to win his third game.
This is one more victory than
he had last season.
Fulfilling all pre-season predictions, Fairfield's baseball team
is now completing its most successful season in 5 years. Two
big reasons (literally big) for this record breaking year are
infielder Tom Caragliano and outfielder-first baseman Bart
Panessa.
Tom Caragliano played his high school ball at New Britain
Senior where his dependable defense and powerful bat carried
the team a long way in state competition.
Tom did not tryout for Fairfield's "nine" as a sophomore
because of his heavy Lab schedule as a Chern major. However,
when the coach noticed him working out on the softball diamond
he was quick to realize Tom's potential. Needless to say, he
played successfully in the next game and since then has been
a valuable asset to the reinvigorated ball club.
Now a senior, Tom led the league last year by reaching

DETECTIVE STORY
(Continued from Page One)
and the flow of action was al­ways
natural and realistic.
Now, if a reviewer must have
a bone to pick, I suppose the
play itself is the only thing left
--everything else was just about
perfect. But I think it is at the
very point of realism where
"Detective Story" shows its
weakness: age. This is especially
unusual when one realizes that
the first production of the play
took place a little more than ten
years ago. But I think the ex­planation
of what some people
have called the "dull spots" in
the action of the play lies in
the author's determination to
show his audience that life in
the 21st Precinct is just like life
in any office-routine. But for
us, as an audience, ten years
after this revelation, fed to the
teeth wit h policemen kidding
each other about family affairs
or ordering ham-on-rye-two-cof­fees-
one-no-sugar night in and
night out on "Dragnet," "The
Line-up," etc., this is too, too
commonplace; and the sudden
switch to melodrama in the last
act is too great, now, for us to
accept.
Enough for literary criticism
and social history. Clearly, the
Fairfield University Dramatic
Society's production of "Detec­tive
Story" was a smash. For it,
we thank most heartily Fr. Mul­lin,
Mr. Emerich, Mr. Barrett,

At East Orange, Fairfield met

Fairfield could only score two

were handed their third straight
defeat by the Iona Gaels. On
Alumni Field Iona broke up a
close game by scoring seven
runs in the sixth, seventh and

John Bruzas again starred at
bat for the Stags getting three
hits in four trips to the plate,
but he also suffered his third

yielded ten hits and eight runs
in six and one-third innings be­fore
being replaced by Dave

Fairfield's only run was scor­ed
in the' fourth when Don Ri­naldi
walked with the bases
loaded, following singles by
Bruzas and Frank Tracy and a

This lowered the Fairfield
season record to 4-5-1. The Stags
had an exceptionally bad day
in the field committing seven
errors while the Gaels played
errorless ball.
