"34 Nos. 5 and 6 Vol, 2 Among Ourselves... As a sample of the kind of letter the Alumni Office likes to receive we quote the following from Camden, N. J.: Dear Sir: As an alumnus of Villanova College, Class of 1928, I am anxious to See as many men as possible enter Villanova. With that thought in mind, I would appreciate your sending a catalog to the man whose name is enclosed, whom I consider a prospective Villanovan. With kindest personal regards, I am, Sincerely yours, VINCENT A. SARUBBI. xe * That the alumni are one of the most important factors in sending representa- tive candidates out to Alma Mater just cannot be doubted. Mr. Sarubbi’s letter is typical of scores of letters received at the office and reminds us to tell you of a movie that has been prepared at Villa- nova, designed to demonstrate the par- ticular advantages offered at the Main Line institution. . . The film, a 16mm. width, and requiring about forty minutes to run, has been given the title “Life at Villanova.” Be- ginning with scenes of the campus, with verdant lawns, flowering shrubs, and trees heavily leaved, it shows the various buildings, the tennis courts, the golf course, the stadium, the baseball lots, and the many scenic beauty spots of Villanova’s one hundred sixty-three acres of rolling campus. It shows the officers of administration, the classrooms, men at work in the laboratories; the breath and scope of the intra-mural sports pro- gram, part of a Villanova-Temple foot- ball fray; the baseballers and basketeers _ in action; shots of Freshman-Sophmore Day, track meets; the possibilities of hikes into the surrounding country; end- ing with the impressive ceremonies of Commencement, * * * _In fact, it covers every single phase of life at College, from the moment prefect yells, “Time for Mass,” till “All Lights Out,” from the first day at college with the freshman and his dink till the last slanting rays of a Villanova sun settle down on a group of very sober young men each with a bit of parchment held tightly in hand. * * The Alumni Secretary has shown the film in a number of high schools and in each it has met with the most favorable reception. It begins to look, too, as if he is in for a barnstorming tour of Jersey, the coal regions, and possibly parts of New England. The film serves an excellent purpose and can be readily adapted into the orientation program of almost any school. Alumni with sugges- tions should contact the Alumni Office. It is particularly well suited to showing to Knights of Columbus groups and the ike, cbeie noes 2° 90" “ I eat SORA PO ot ig Sap Sop he Nay She FAME PM oh AAPL OL Tarek ahd OTA Regd SER RSE February - March 1934 1934 BASEBALL April 2 Princeton away ‘April 7 Penn A.

A monster Alumni Smoker is the next event planned by the Villanova Club of Philadelphia. With the next regular meeting scheduled for March 6 at Hotel Adelphia, the club’ looks forward to the smoker in the early part of April, when an attempt will be made to have every former Villanova man residing within the metropolitan area of Philadelphia in to talk over old times and renew ac- quaintances long neglected. A whole new program for the club year 1934-1935 was outlined, too, at the last meeting of the club. Four major events will be sponsored, the first to be held on National Homecoming Day in the fall when the organization will play hosts to the returning grads. Shortly after the football season the club will sponsor its twelfth annual foot- ball dinner to the members of the var- sity squad and its coaches, with a pre- Lenten smoker and a spring dance con- cluding the activities of the local group.

Quoted from a letter received by the “Villanova Engineer”: “Incidentally, thirty-odd years ago, I used to play around Villanova, helping put together the ‘Villanova Monthly,’ which we issued ‘now and then’—in other words, whenever we could secure the price of the printing. . “Should you find other cuts in ‘Aero Digest,’ ‘Sportsman,’ ‘Pilot,’ ‘Spur,’ or ‘New Outlook’ that may be of interest to you, it would be a pleasure to send them along to you.” Sincerely, FRANK A. TICHENOR. 1904. And Bill Crawford succeeds in getting a letter from one of Villanova’s older alumni: Mr. William V. Crawford, Lawrence, Mass. Dear Will: It was very interesting to_have your letter, as it is so seldom that I ever hear of the whereabouts of any of my old schoolmates. Perhaps I would see a good many if I would attend the alumni af- fairs at Villanova, but it’s the old story, I have gotten careless about those things, Only once have I been back at Villanova and that was in 1925, when Fr. Hickey was president. I happened to be in Phil- adelphia at the time and I heard that he was the head of the school, so I went , out and spent a half day with him. Well, you want to know what I am doing. Judge for yourself from the above letter head (M.

I get down there once in a while, especial- ly for conventions. _ I want to ask if Joe Welch is still liv- ing, as also Jerry Driscoll. Let me hear from you some time. With my kindest regards.
