With the thunder of war echoing about the globe, the men of the

Class of 1943 of the University of Santa Clara prepare to take their

respective places in the service of their native land. Bidding 'adios' to

the protective portals of the Mission School, which they have come to

love as their alma mater, the Class of 1943 answer the call to arms in

order to insure that in the not too distant future other youths may also

be privileged to enjoy the fruits of a Santa Clara education, as well as

all the other rights and freedoms guaranteed to them as Americans.

As the men of the Class of 1943 prepare to leave the campus where

the palm and olive mingle, it is indeed fitting that they should carry

with them a record of their spirit and accomplishments. The Last Round-

up is designed to serve as a pictorial representation of their four years

of Santa Clara life. It is the hope of the Editors that the Last Roundup

will find its place when the present "unpleasantness" has been consigned

to the pages of history, and the graduate may look back upon his scho-

lastic life, and with this book once again live, in memories, his life on

the campus.

In rounding up the Broncos of 1943 for the last time, the Editors

have endeavored to preserve, in a small measure, their signal and out-

standing success in spiritual, academic, and athletic pursuits. It is to the

graduating class of 1943, who soon will carry the banner of the Stars

and Stripes to all corners of the earth, and who already have contributed

in great part to the honor and prestige of the University of Santa Clara

that the Last Roundup is respectfully dedicated.

STORY OF THE CLASS '43

We the class of nineteen hundred and forty

three entered Santa Clara as the largest fresh-

man group In the history of the Mission Uni-

versity. The freshman class of 1939-40 may

since have been surpassed In number but we

set as yet unsurpassed standards in spirit, talent

for study and In all extra-curricular activity.

Under the able leadership of Ben Brethauer

as freshman class president, the widespread in-

terest of the first-year men in all activities be-

came evident In all campus functions. We were

the last class to be formally Initiated on the

campus. Most of us well remember the duck-

waddling, paint, paddling, and Involuntary

swim that was our lot In the course of the initia-

tion.

As freshmen we were also the last class to

stage the "Colt Roundup," an old-fashioned

barn dance. The committee for this affair was

composed of Ben Brethauer, Bob Valentine,

Jack Kennedy and Bob Auth.

The endeavors of the class of '43 were not

restricted to those which may come under the

heading of socials. Many achievements were

the result of efforts put forth by our class in

such activities as debating, dramatics and

journalism. Bill Crawford, John Connolly and

John Chiment proved themselves not only tal-

ented but potential campus leaders In the

Stephen M. White debates. Radio debating

was also a prominent feature of this all-freshman

group. Barney Olsen, Tom Fllppen and Luke

Bachan proved to be the nucleus of the class

of '43 dramatic talent, and were prominent in

the Clay M. Greene society.

Talents In extra currlcular activity were not

limited to those of an intellectual nature In our

first year here at Santa Clara. As Colts, we

boasted of many potentially great athletes who

were soon to be unleashed from the corral of

the "Bucking Bronco." In football the names

of Eddie Forrest, Alyn Beals, Nubby Wright and

Al Santucci first became known to the sideline

quarterbacks at Ryan Field. Our freshman foot-

ball team eased through a five game schedule

without a defeat. While our record as a fresh-

man basketball team did not display as many

victories, who of us can forget the "Keystone

Kops" of the maplewood? Nevertheless, the

team was starstudded with the names of Harry

O'Rourke, Bill Baatz, Al Shatsky and Tony

Pelosl. Although our baseball team had barely

space for practice, it ended up with a splendid

record of nine wins and three losses. Outstand-

ing baseball players were Bill Mulllns, Bob Valen-

tine, Duane Crawford, and Bill Wetzler.

In Intramurals we suffered our share of de-

feats and likewise realized our share of victories.

Our most outstanding feat in this regard was

the winning of the Intramural track meet, chiefly

through the accomplishments of Lew Hayden

and Jack Matthews.

It is within the walls of O'Connor Hall that

Santa Clara students determine the activities

they will follow for the remainder of their col-

lege careers, and there are also many impor-

tant currlcular decisions to be made In the

sophomore year. We returned to the Mission

campus as sophomores somewhat proud that

we had reached our first milestone, and elected

Jack Bisenlus to head our activities for the

school year 1940-41

.

It was during this school year that the tal-

ented writings of many of our number found

their way Into campus publications. Ben Bret-

hauer was appointed Alumni Editor of the

Santa Clara, and the contributions of John

Bluett, John Chiment and John O'Connor were

given much praise by the editors of this same

class of '43

periodical. Debating was likewise supported In

our second year of campus life, with Ben Bret-

hauer, Bill Crawford and George Sharp selected

to represent our class In the annual Ryland de-

bate.

In athletics we of O'Connor hHall played a

part that was accepted by the entire student

body as conspicuous. The stadia of near and

distant parts tabbed several from our number

as potentially great. In this category we might

well recall the performances of Al Beals, Ed

Forrest, Nubby Wright and Danny Wallls. Our

contribution to the varsity baseball team was

such that many saw In It the core of a team

destined not only for success that season, but

also of the future. hHere we recall the diamond

play of Nell Reese, Bill Mulllns, Bill Mustanlch,

Duane Crawford, Bob Valentine and Mitch

Lobrovlch. Our contribution to varsity basket-

ball In this year was limited to hHarry O'Rourke

and Tony Pelosl. Our two-man track team was

a one-man team this year with Lew Hayden

gone, but the class came through again led by

Jack Matthews, and won the Intramural meet.

Jack Kennedy was selected as an assistant yell

leader this year, and Bob hiald was our sole

representative on the rally committee.

Although as sophomores we were not the

sponsors of any social functions, officially, our

Interest In the same could only be described

as more widespread. These Interests brought

many of our group together In search of the

social life for which the bay region Is so well

known.

Our return to this Mission campus In August,

I 94 I,was destined for a series of the most Im-

portant events In the history of Santa Clara In

the last few decades. The manner In which the

class of '43 faced these seeming far distant

crises was one of sobriety rather than buoyancy.

As junior upperclassmen not only did we fall

heir to the bulk of the extra currlcular responsi-

bility but It also became our lot to carry on the

traditions of Santa Clara under the tense con-

ditions of the time.

It was due chiefly to Fran Murphy's activi-

ties as Junior class president that we proved

ourselves a well-knit organization. Examination

of the success of our endeavors only attests

that we were well equipped to face the task

that lay before us. The highlight of our Junior

class activities was our presentation of the

Junior Prom, one of the most outstanding so-

cial events of the school year. The committee

for this formal affair was composed of Fran

Murphy, Bob Valentine, Nubby Wright, Bob

Podesta, Marty McCarthy and Dick Rossi.

The setting for this was the picturesque Beres-

ford Country Club located in San Mateo.

Next In Importance this year was the Junior

picnic at Emerald Lake, successful In large

part due to the work of Eddie Forrest, host

of the event, and John Bluett, his room-mate

and partner. The Inauguration of frequent re-

cording dances In the Lounge Room was

another accomplishment of this class.

It was this year that effort expended as

freshmen and sophomores by our literary lead-

ers were awarded by Important posts on cam-

pus publications. Ben Brethauer was appointed

Editor of the "Owl", John Bluett assumed

duties as Soorts Editor of the "Santa Clara",

and John Pitre, Jack Bisenlus and Jim Jacobs

were chief contributors to the same publica-

tions. John Connolly and Ben Brethauer were

our main representatives In off-campus de-

bates.

Athletics throughout this year were marked

by the rise to fame of an even greater num-

Its Men and Activities

ber from our class of 1943. The performance

of Sheldon Harden and Al Sanfucci In the Cal

game, Jim Desmond, Les Palm and Dan Wallls

in the St. Mary's game, were outstanding for

the season. Al Beals was not only selected on

many All-Coast football teams, but also was

one of the high scoring ends of the country,

with a total of sixty points to his credit. Onthe baseball diamond, outstanding at bat was

Duane Crawford and in the field were Bill Mul-

lins and Neil Reese. Tony Pelosi was our sole

representative on the Seifert gym hardwood.

Bob Auth was selected from our class as stu-

dent director of intramural athletics. We were

defeated in the final game of the intramural

basketball tournament for the school cham-

pionship.

hiaving been elected to the office at the

close of the sophomore year. Bob Auth re-

presented our class in the capacity of Secre-

tary of the associated students this year.

The campus routine to which we had be-

come accustomed was somewhat affected by

the demands of our country at war. These

conditions had been the reason for many

rumors throughout our junior year as to the

future in store for us. The majority of us were

fortunate in our opportunity for enrollment in

the advanced course of the ROTC and in the

reserves of the other services. In this manner

the class as a whole was enabled to continue

toward its goal of graduation.

Our return to the Santa Clara campus at

the beginning of our senior year was novel in

many respects. Our members had become

military conscious to the extreme, and the de-

parture of a number of our class to the various

branches of the services brought the point

home emphatically that we were in a war.

Fran Murphy was elected student body

president, Nubby Wright vice-president. Bill

Mullins treasurer, and Danny Wallis sergeant-

at-arms.

Frank Osmer was unanimously elected to the

office of senior class president, and MaxSailor was vice-president, Jim Ganahl secre-

tary, Jim Desmond treasurer, and Jack Ken-

nedy sergeant-at-arms.

Social activities of our senior year were

somewhat restricted because of transporta-

tion and other difficulties. Our Senior Ball

was nevertheless one that will be remembered

for a long time to come; we chose the Cali-

fornia Country Club as the scene of opera-

tions, and the committee was composed of

Frank Osmer, Fran Murphy, Lyman Lundell,

Bob Valentine and Charles Martinelli. The

ball proved to be one of the most successful

dances in our four years at Santa Clara.

Jack Matthews as president of the Sabre

Society headed the committee that planned

and staged the annual Military Ball at the

Sainte Claire Hotel in San Jose, in January.

Most campus organizations found capable

leaders in our members; the Engineering so-

ciety elected Walt Morris president, with Bob

Valentine, Dick Rossi and Jim Ganahl as the

other officers of the group. The outstanding

achievement of this group was the Engineer's

Formal at the St. Francis Yacht club in San

Francisco. The Business Administration asso-

ciation was headed by Lyman Lundell, and ad-

Memories that Will Live

dresses by prominent business men, a banquet

and a successful Informal dance at the Cali-

fornia Country club were among the functions

staged by this organization. Ben Brethauer

was elected president of the campus chapter

of the national honor society, Alpha Sigma

Nu. When not occupied in this capacity, Bret-

hauer was busy editing The Owl.

John Bluett was found to be capable In his

post of editor of the Santa Clara, and with

Bill Mulllns as president, the Block S. C. society

sponsored a revival of the old smokers in the

gym, featuring the boxing talents of Georgle

Freltas and Ray Lunny, as well as that of stu-

dents. Marty McCarthy led the rally com-

mittee through an active year, as Jack Ken-

nedy as head yell leader led the famed Santa

Clara rooting sections through a noisy year.

Danny Wallis was elected captain of the

football team, and Max Sailor, Buddy Farden,

Jack Matthews, Al SantuccI, Sheldon hHarden,

Les Palm, Ken Dewing, Ed Forrest, Al Beals

and Nubby Wright were the other seniors

playing their final season for Santa Clara. Neil

Reese coached the Bronco baseball team

through a season cursed only by the California

jinx, with Captain Bill Mulllns, Bill Mustanlch,

Duane Crawford, Mitch Lobrovlch and Bob

Valentine playing on the nine.

Despite the efforts of Jack Matthews and

Jim Ganahl, as well as the other members of

the senior class, the sophomores, juniors and

even the freshmen were able to emerge from

the intramural track meet with more points

than the defending champs.

The time is now at hand for us to leave the

protecting wing of Alma Mater; in parting

from her each of us feels a debt of gratitude.

We are grateful for her Ideals, her teachings

of a literary, social or other material value.

Our greatest debt due our Alma Mater lies

in the great number of friendships she has fos-

tered among our number. She has so equipped

us that her standards will be with us along

whatever path we are destined to follow.

While we travel the route of destiny. It Is our

hope that there too will be the friendships oc-

casioned by our Alma Mater. Mindful of what

joy lies behind us and looking to the future

with hope, we feel that often In our reminis-

cence we shall recall whose purpose It was "to

mould men after the model of the man-God

and thus to form them to serve their fellow-

men, their country and their God."

The past seven years has seen the University

of Santa Clara graduate men into the world

who are already prepared for the rigors of war.

This preparation is due to the far-sightedness

of the University in establishing an ROTC unit

under the supervision of Col. E. T. Barco. The re-

sult of his fine supervision are seen in the unit

itself which has been proclaimed the model col-

lege Field Artillery unit, and has always main-

tained the rating of excellent.

Looking backward over the seven years of

its existence we see a gradual development of

men and materiel. Under the adroit and care-

ful instruction of the Military Staff many men

have gone through the primary stages of offi-

cer development and have gained assurance,

leadership and knowledge. These men are fight-

ing on the four corners of the earth and It was

at Santa Clara they gained the background

and knowledge which is carrying them to suc-

cess and in turn carrying the success of the

United States in the same action.

Today wo tlic seniors of that ROTC unit are

preparing for graduation and for a period of

officer training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Whenwe look at our own fine unit, we gain a growincj

confidence that we have been trained well and

will retain that confidence as v^/c go into Offi-

cers Candidate School. Under the PMS and

Gould, and Lt. Telles, we have received the

maximum of preparation from men who are

well acquainted with the problems we will in-

evitably meet, and who have schooled us well

in the solution of those problems.

Our unit is composed of freshmen, sopho-

mores, juniors and seniors. From the first to

the last they are introduced to the problems of

the field artillery, and as they progress, so do

the problems progress in complexity. The first

two years are spent in training us students in

the fundamentals of motors, gunnery, maps,

military history, wire communications, and

other phases essential to mould field artillery

personnel. The Advanced Course, optional to

the student, is spent in a more progressive study

of gunnery, nnilltary history, survey, adminis-

tration and military law. The classroom theory

is put Into practice In the field with a series of

R.S.O.P which enable us to acquaint ourselves

with the problems we will meet on the field and

how best to solve them.

pends on us alone. The Staff Officers have

painstakingly and unstlntingly devoted their

time and knowledge In preparing us for our

place In this global conflict. Our gratitude

cannot be measured In words alone but to Lt.

Col. J. S. Robison, Capt. Eichenberg, Lt.

Gould and Lt. Telles, we can say that It has been

a privilege and a pleasure to serve under them.

With the graduation of twelve regulars from

the varsity of 1941, Buck Shaw had an oppor-

tunity to show his genius for coaching, as it

was necessary for him to mould a group of in-

experienced men into a football team that wasto compete with the best In the country. Senior

material filled six positions, but the remaining

five were left to the inexperience of sophomoreand freshmen players. The varsity team of

I 942 was the result of his fine coaching genius,

and the great spirit, and the will to win typical

of Santa Clara football teams. With the com-bination of these qualities the Broncos wentthrough a season making a record sparkling

v^ith seven victories, and blotted only twice

with defeats. At the completion of the season,

our Santa Clara Broncos were among the top

twenty teams of the nation.

The end of the season saw thirteen Seniors

terminate their college football careers, after

three years competition against the best teams

the East could boast, and against the creamof the Pacific Coast Conference, hlolding

down the flank positions were All-Amerlcan

Alyn Beals, hardworking Ken Dewing, and rug-

ged Jim Desmond. At the tackle spots DaveBoland and versatile Sheldon hHarden, two sen-

iors of great ability, bore the brunt of the at-

tack. Filling up the center of the line at guard

was All-Coast Tony Schiro and Varsity Captain

Danny Wallls. At the pivot spot were talented

Al Santucci and fighting Eddie Forrest. Look-

ing to the backfield, hard-hitting Les Palm com-

pleted three years at the blocking quarter-

back spot, while Jack Matthews and Buddy

Farden finished strong at the halfback spots,

from which they ran reverses with speed and

power. Max Sailor, a converted halfback, furn-

ished power and punch at fullback.

This senior polish combined with junior and

sophomore spirit to run amuck on the best grid-

Irons In the country. In the opening game

against Utah, the Broncos toppled the Rocky

Mountain champions by a score of 12-0. Back

from the light air of Salt Lake City, the Shaw-

men bucked the Coast Conference, beating

Stanford 14-6, California 7-6, and last year's

Rose Bowl champion Oregon State team 7-0.

In the Los Angeles Coliseum In the shadow of

the University of Southern California campus,

U.C.L.A. downed the Santa Clara juggernaut

for the first defeat of the season, 14-6. This

was a nip and tuck battle, and It was In the

final seconds that the pitching arm of Bob

Waterfleld struck gold to overbalance the

splendid play of Ed Forrest, Jess Freltas, Alyn

Beals and Max Sailor.

As a champion gets up off the floor, the

Broncos hit back defeating U.S.F. 8-6, Loyola

21-0, and then St. Mary's 20-7. In the final

game of the season, the Broncos met the great-

est array of gridmen ever assembled against

a college team and were beaten I 3-6. This St.

Mary's Pre-FIIght Navy team scored both touch-

downs In the first five minutes and were held

In their own territory the remaining fifty-five

minutes of play, while the Bronco team threat-

ened to score every time a play was called.

This game was a blaze of glory for the Shaw

football technique, and the season showed the

finest possible coaching combined with a fight-

ing spirit that may have been equalled but

never excelled by any football team that donned

the Red and White and clattered down the

cement runway to Ryan Field.

REESE

Coach

Pre-season favorite, the Bronco nine found

the California club too tough and unerring to

overcome for the championship of the North-

ern division of the Conference. Santa Clara

carried too much power in the bats when she

faced St. Mary's and U.S.F., but when she met

the Bears something happened; the team as a

whole became tense and anxious while the Cali-

fornia nine remained calm and sure. As a re-

sult Santa Clara beat herself when she could

just as easily have defeated the Berkeley club.

To Neil Reese, last year's captain and third

baseman who twice made All-Conference, goes

a great deal of credit for the magnificent job

he did in his first year as varsity coach of the

Bronco nine. hHis was a difficult task, for he

was still a student and yet had to commandrespect and maintain discipline on the diamond.

The members of the team realized the position

of Reese and did their share In making his job

as easy as possible; they heeded his advice

and orders, and hustled all the way. Reese was

successful In his first year as a coach and it

was not his fault the Broncos failed to bring

a pennant to the University.

Mitch Lobrovich, Duane Crawford, Bill Mus-

tanlch. Bob Valentine, Neil Reese and Bill Mul-

lins were the senior members of the I 943 team.

Reese tabbed Lobrovich in early season prac-

tice as the most Improved ball player on the

squad. Mitch, by his play at third and his work

atthe plate, showed the soundness of his coach's

judgment. hHIs hits were devastating and on

more than one occasion he broke the Ice with

his extra base blows. Duane Crawford, for

three years the Bronco flrst-sacker, again dis-

played his fancy fielding talent. For three

years Crawford hit well over .300, and last year

as a Junior, led the conference in hitting. Bill

Mustanlch, who missed seeing action last year

because of a broken ankle, returned this year

to share the heavy duty with Frank Fiscalini

behind the plate. In the first California game,

which went 18 innings, Fiscalini twisted his

ankle and the duties of catching fell squarely

on the shoulders of the veteran Mustanlch who

now had to work alone for the remainder of the

season. By virtue of his consistent hitting. Cap-

tain Bill Mulllns held down the second base

berth for the season, averaging .384 at the bat

at the time he suffered a broken leg in the third

California game at Berkeley. Mulllns was but

little less effective In his fielding. Bob Valen-

tine finished his college baseball career this

season, but the outfielder was handicapped in

the sport by the demands of his heavy engi-

neering curricula, and his game experience was

limited for this reason.

The highlight of the I 943 season was the I 8

inning marathon with California. It took almost

five hours to play the game, California finally

emerging victorious 6-5. The game was thrill-

ing throughout, marked by heated arguments,

spectacular plays and climax after climax. For

the record books, this game goes down as the

longest college baseball game in modern times,

and for the record books, this season goes

down under the column headed "successful" in

the history of Santa Clara.
