Living model and inspiration in this important work is the God-man, fesus Christ, our Lord. We, the students of Creighton University High School, respectfully dedicate this volume to our Leader, Christ, as a symbol of our personal dedication to the work of his kingdom. UI am the 'May and the Wrath and the Lifeu 0 C6WOZ Turbulent 1941 marks the begin- ning of the four-hundredth and first year of existence for the Society of jesus. The occasion is one of more than passing significance. Appropriate- ly, then, the dawn of the fifth fesuit century serves as the inspiration of the art theme set forth in this volume. 1-1 1151 111 ,XX . f 1ifH1111' 1X 1 W im x1'2 Q1 l 11-2 Ns 11 21g X 11 'X 1 X 1 X fy 1 'XX 11 t 1 I 1 .

The sixteenth century also had its problems, and Ignatius Loyola found men to help solve those problems. Today in 194-1 we need men. real men, Christian men who have the faith and the courage to help the nation weather the storms of world catastrophe. Aft Creighton Prep we are giving the nation just such men in you, the graduates of 1941. Yo-urs is a very great responsibility. Probably never have we needed leader- ship more than we do today. Never has there been a greater challenge for devotion to ideals and high purposeful living. At Creighton Prep you have been particularly for- tunate in that you have had a Christian education. You have been given the ground- work for purposeful living. We are confident that you will accept the challenge of the future as true graduates of a school conducted by the followers of Ignatius Loyola. 'CiIfLCL?96Z I Jfefwmif H H I SL'1.l,lx1xN.S.J.

With mingled feelings of joy and regret we take our leave of our beloved Alma Mater. There is joy in the thought of having completed our high school career with some measure of success. There is a shadow of regret in the thought of having to leave the portals and halls that have grown so dear to us. Some of us have made definite decisions in regard to our future work. Others of us are still in doubt as to what we shall do next year. But all of us look confidently to whatever may lie ahead. We are convinced that our high school training has laid deep the foundations on which we are to build our future lives. Our education has been a complete education, directed not only to our mental de- velopment. but to our physical and moral development as well. The program during the entire four years at Creighton Prep was aimed at a harmonious advancement of our mental, physical, and moral powers. That is a complete education, that is the edu- cation which has been ours. Hence, we rightly feel that we have attained to a sense of values in the realities of life. We intend to make more sure our grasp of those real- ities so that nothing in later years may lead us from the high purposes we now enter- tain. At a time like this it is impossible to keep from reminiscing. Maybe it is the brightness of the present occasion which blinds us to our faults of yesteryearg still, as we look back to our Freshman year we can see nothing but a group of quiet, model youngsters. Certainly we were timid. As the weeks wore on, however, we made bold to assert an occasional opinion and when-to our amazement-we were not contradicted, we realized that our days of probation were past. We had been accepted as an integral part of the student body. About this time friendships began to spring up, some of which were to deepen as the years slipped by. The Sodality of Our Lady was a golden medium by which our friendships and joys were enhanced. Then came the longed-for Sophomore year. It was our turn to welcome the new- comers, and that welcome was as warm as we could dare make it. Then the extra-cur- ricular activities got under way. Happily, a number of us were represented in those organizations. There were quite a few in sports, a surprisingly large number in dra- matics and debate. As the year drew to a close it was evident that we were beginning to scale the heights of achievement. 1 Our Junior year in a way was our most brilliant year. We were represented in every activity. We had a full quota on the championship teams of the yearg we gave our full measure of effort towards making the 1940 yearbook the most talked of vol- ume any Jay Junior staff had yet produced. As June approached we were almost loathe to see that happy year fade away. Last September we came back with the unshaken resolve to take up where we had left off the previous June and build to higher and greater successes. We were steadfast in our resolveg success came. Again we scored unforgettable triumphs in athletics. In dramatics, forensics, and journalism we led the way. This is noteworthy when we stop to recall that this yearis plays were some of the best Prep has seen in a number of years and that several speakers in the various forensic contests were accredited with outstanding ability. To a select, hard-working group of seniors is due most of the credit for the prod-uction of this year's annual. This distinction holds a unique merit in that the 194-l Jay Junior is the first yearbook in Prep history to present an art theme in two colors. This is an achievement which may not be repeated for several years to come. Behind the splendor of our success stand our teachers and spiritual guides. They have sought only our welfare and advancement. If at times we may have seemed un- grateful, we make a hurried apology. We have always been aware of their interest and solicitude in our behalf. To them, next to our parents, do we owe an undying thanks. 055166, li QW Jour! YICTOR Mxsnx Sorlnlity Prvffffr THOMAS llwnzu.

Fitzpatrick It would be difficult to point out a group more devoted to the interests of our stu- dent body than the Creighton Prep Mothers' Club. The organization has for its pri- mary purpose the promotion of mutual cooperation between the parents and the teach- ers for the common purpose of a better understanding of a student's individual prob- lems and a more satisfactory solution of such problems. The club meets on the first Wednesday of every month in the high school library. Meetings convene at 2:30 P. M. After matters of current business are cared for, a special guest speaker addresses the group after which the parents and teachers mingle for informal discussion. The initial meeting of the year was held on September 17. Mothers of first year boys were the guests. Oliicers of the club were introducedg Rev.R.L. Sheridan,S.I.,club moderator, acquainted the new members with the purpose of the organization. Rev. H. L. Sullivan, S. J., addressed the group on the course of studies at Prep and the ap- plication which is necessary for high scholastic achievement. Bev. B. J. Murray, S. J., founder of the club, was the principal speaker at the October meeting. His topic was uModern Youth. His many years as a counsellor to boys and young men were delightfully evident in the penetrating discussion which he conducted. Everyone appreciated his candid and encouraging analyses. At the November meeting Bev. Paul F. Smith, S. J., of the Creighton University English Department, spoke on Our Most Neglected Faculty, the Imagination. The talk was novel and interesting. At the close of the business meeting announcements were made of Father Bernard Hubbardls picture at the Paramount Theatre on Novem- ber 13. Many mothers took this opportunity of seeing and hearing the priest explorer and scientist who has gained national recognition for his extensive research. The club was entertained by a movie in December. 'LThe Building of the West was secured by Mrs. Paul Pattavina through the courtesy of the Standard Oil Company of California. Recent Catholic book of the month, 'LFather De Smet, by Helene Margaret, was reviewed at the January meeting by Professor Charles C. Charvat of the English De- partment of Creighton University. The book held special interest for the club since the author was once a resident of Omaha. Mr. Charvat's excellent analysis heightened ap- preciation of the book. An informative lecture on uFirst Aid was given at the March meeting by Mr. James Sesto, Jr., of the Omaha Fire Department. Social enterprises of the year met with unprecedented success. A roller-skating party was held on flctoher lfl at the West lfarnam Holler Palace. A more than capacity crowd attended. llespite the overflow that surged and swayed its way around the rink that night. everyone seemed happy and satisfied. The hingo party of Novemher l8. however. holds the spotlight for the largest and most successful enterprise ever undertaken hy a Prep Mothers' Cluh. The party was held in the University Gymnasium. Over one thousand came to play the game of chance. Even the spacious gymnasium was not any too large to accommodate the crowd. Many fathers of Prep hoys assisted in the distribution of the cards and in running off the games smoothly and efficiently. Ur. M. J. Healey was in charge of the group in the cafeteria. That so large a party was managed in such a satisfactory manner is a credit to the planning and cooperation which exists among the parents of our hoys. This occasion may long remain an achievement for groups in future years to rival. Since the introduction of Fathers' Nighty several years ago, there has grown an increasing appreciation of this event. Evidence of this appreciation was demonstrated in tht- large turn-out at this year's Hlfatllers' Night. The opportunity for the profes- sors to meet the dads of Prep hoys is a privilege for which the faculty has the highest regard. Such an opportunity is directly in line with the over-all purpose of the Mothers' Cluli itself: namely, the promotion of parent-teacher cooperation for the welfare of the hoys who attend Creighton Prep.

V i St. Ignatius Loyola Met a Challenging Future with Prayer, Discipline, Love ST. 1GNAT1Us LOYOLA, through his early maturity, had been a man ofthe world. He had been numbered among the noble- men of a frivolous royal court. As a soldier, he had seen the license and misery of camp and campaign. He knew the spirit of the world through revealing contact with it. Thus, he was well qualified to guide those who, like our Graduates of 1941, though living in the world, would rise above its standards. It is significant that Ignatius, once he had decided to enlist in the service ofthe Kingdom of God, first strove to establish the supremacy of God in his own personality. So, long before he sought to influence others, Ignatius took up the arduous, prayerful work of forming his character after the model of jesus Christ. I-Ie aspired to challenge the spirit of the world only after years of self-discipline, aided by grace, had set his heart aflame with personal love for the Son of God. That work, that discipline, that love, crystallized into The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, became a master-plan by which hundreds of thousands of jesuits shaped their lives for sanctity and leadership, and a chart by which un- numbered others found their way through the anxieties, trials, and crises of this world to the peace which surpasses understanding.

Theyhave received the best in preparatory education, not only measuring up to the stand- ards ofthe leading educational associations,but skillfully de- signed to train both the intellect and the will. In addition, they have had the opportunity to develop worthwhile lei- sure-time interests, to mingle with graciousness and ease among their fellow men, and to make practical application of the arts of speaking and writing. Most important, through their work in the Sodality and their attendance at Holy Mass and the Sacraments, they are well started on the task of molding their characters to the divine Ideal. It is with deep appreciation of these advantages that the Class of 1941 presents its Vgazniyzrions X! fj 1.1! xdt 1 5592- X YJ?

Cgllalzf With the opening of the fall school term, a new Sodality program was in- augurated. It was a Catholic Action program, drafted and designed by a new group of enthusiastic Sodality leaders who were both eager and anxious to achieve success. Many of these projects were highly successful, a lesser few were not too well re- ceived. In the Junior-Senior Sodality the officers, V. Mason, J. Grier, B. Brady, J. T. Schall, and C. Brown, are to be lauded for the capable, efficient manner in which they administered the multiple affairs of their Sodality. By careful planning and sincere toil, they established an organization which was in complete harmony with the true democratic ideals of the Sodality. This democratic management reaped re- wards in the deeper interest and greater cooperation shown by all members. Never before have more sodalists taken part in a wider range of Sodality activity. The Marian Committee, with W. Doran as chairman. contributed much to thc spiritual betterment of all sodalists. Among its many activities was the Rosary for the Team. Before every Prep athletic contest, sodalists were urged to participate in the recital of the beads to hasten the team to victory. How successful this project was can be ascertained by merely reviewing Prep's stunning string of victories on the athletic field. B. Brady directed the undertakings of the Eucharistic Committee whose chief function was to promote greater zeal and deeper appreciation for Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. This group's most noteworthy accomplishment was organizing the 4'Knights of the Blessed Sacramentn vho pledge themselves to receive Holy Com- munion weekly. J. Crier, J. Carver, R. Shaddy, and P. Peter were the chairmen of the Mission Com- mittees. They supervised the task of collecting stamps for the missions, gathering magazines for distribution to charity institutions, and raising funds to help support missionaries belonging to foreign lands. Members of E. Bingelis Literature Committee presented Catholic Book and Pamphlet reviews at the regular Sodality meetings. Their drive for subscriptions to The Quvmzfs Work resulted in a record-breaking response. The Publicity Committee whose rise last year bordered on the sensational, started late, but finished with a burst of eloquent exuberance. Late in the school year, Chair- man V. Mason welcomed a group of Sophomores and Freshmen who provided the sought for talent and ingenuity. Over one hundred freshmen were inducted into the Sodality on December 9. Both this group and the Sophomore Sodality were unusually energetic. They originated innumerable projects, most of which were allotted an overwhelming degree of success. Responsibility for many of these attainments lies in the loyal, capable officers who guided the destinies of the two lower Sodalities. In the second high unit, T. Hughes, R. Barney, J. C. Hanna, E. Igel, and J. Brady were the duly elected officers, while M. Griffin, J. T. Green, T. Costello, W. Haller, and W. Neville were chosen by the Freshmen sodalists. Thus we have arrived at the end of another year of Sodality programs and projects. It was a fruitful year, marked with many triumphs and with a few dis- appointing, but not disheartening failures. Every sodalist has ample reason to be proud of the Creighton Prep Sodality, for during the past year, it has been a grand example of Catholic Action in action. Committees MISSION First row: R.

J., made its season's debut at the annual Christmas play staged the evening of December 15. The Gentleman From India, a three act comedy, kept the audience in a constant dither of laughter. The story- dealt with an over-night wealthy family that was bent on crashing New York society. After three acts of futile, though rollicking, effort, the family decided to return to their midwestern home-town where people were closer to the soil. Ben Kava, the social-aspiring father, was tops. Jack Kemmy as Jim Packingham and Joe Crier as Percy were ideal as model sons, and Clem Brown, in the role of way- ward Charlie, made a strong bid for acting honors of the evening. John T. Schall, a socialite friend, strove valiantly to smear the family with culture, while Bill Spies, the Oriental imposter, was forever upsetting the few notions the family had acquired about refined living. Bob Markel, the eavesdropping butler, was in whirlwind suc- cession the object of his master's scorn and affection. Chuck Neary, friend of the family's, arrived in time to complicate the plot and the mind of the good Tweedles, none other than Bryan Riley III. Tom Boler, the too-obliging cop, completed the all- star cast. All who attended the play were in admiration of the high dramatic talent ex- hibited by the entire cast. The spring production is scheduled for May 25. Two one-act plays, 4'Submerged,' and g'Ghosts' Revenge, will comprise the evening's entertainment. Submerged is a story of a sunken submarine in which six surviving crew members are trapped in two of the ship's compartments. The commander volunteers to be shot through the torpedo tube with a message strapped to his body which would give the exact loca- tion of the craft to rescue ships. Such an act would result in death. The crew refuses to see their brave and generous leader die. From this point the action moves swiftly and dramatically. ,lack Schall appears in the role of the commander. Bill Spies carries the lead. Other prominent cast members include Hays Holland, Bill Jurgensen. Bob Thomas, and Chuck Neary. 'LGhosts' Revenge is a whirlwind comedy written expressly for boys of high school age. A group called the Blow Club, students of Bradley boarding high school, are putting on an initiation in an old deserted house. The neophytes turn the tables on them and the resulting situations are filled with horror and fun. Creators of the hilarity will be Joe Grier, Ben Kava, Bob Young, ,lim Emerson, Jack Schmittroth, Brian Riley, Clem Brown, Tom Boler, Jack McBride, and Leo Am- brose. Congratulations and thanks are in order to all who contributed to making this year's dramatic ventures successful.

'A 'I' lainie Entering its fifth-sixth year of existence, the members of the Creighton Prep De- bating Society during the 1940-1941 season participated in over 200 decision contests. As timely as today's news, was the frequent description of the topic chosen as the question for debate by the National High School Debate Board. Resolved: that the power of the federal government should be increased was the comprehensive subject debated, under this general heading the debaters discussed such questions as The Lease-Lend Bill,', Increased government control of the Labor Unions, c'The Na- tional Labor Relations Board, '5Socialized Medicine, etc. The mere enumeration of the topics is enough to show clearly why the moderator, Rev. Aloysius Motherway, S. J., and his assistant, Mr. Cervantes, S. J., had quite a time keeping up with the various arguments used by the 'iartful dodgersf' When, during the first few weeks of the school term, the moderator issued a call for candidates, an enthusiastic group of Prepsters reported for action. With such a broad question to work upon, all of their enthusiasm was needed. Contests with other schools were quickly arranged and the season was on. The first event was early in October, this was the Benson Debate Clinic in which the major schools of Omaha and ten schools from the adjacent states participated. Six teams were entered from Prep and from this series of contests a working knowledge of the material was ob- tained. The next event of major importance was the Missouri Valley Debate Tourney at Central High School. Messrs. Hanighen, Connolly, Vernon and Schmittroth played stellar roles for Prep in this tournament as well as those throughout the rest of the season. After surviving the early rounds of this tournament the Prepsters bowed out in the quarter finals. The debaters were the guests at the Missouri Valley Debate Banquet, Jack Schmittroth delivered the after-dinner speech for the Prep squad. The next debate activity was the most interesting of the year, this was the Mulvi- hill Debate Tourney, an intramural affair. One hundred and twenty of the Prep students participated in the eliminations of this contest, thus insuring that the best debaters possible would be in the finals. The finalists were evenly matched: three seniors Uohn Hanighen, ,lack Connolly, J. T. Schallj against three juniors flack Schmittroth, James Vernon, Ronny Tighel. The Law School Moot Court was packed for the occasion, a spirited debate ensued, and after the dust had settled rounds of applause greeted the judges' decision that the juniors had won, and that the best speaker had been J. T. Schall. Through the generosity of Mrs. Mulvihill, each mem- ber of the winning team was awarded five dollars, the best speaker, ten dollars. The Catholic Debate Tourney next took the center of the debaters, interest. Twenty Prep Debaters participated in this tournament and merited third place for our school. This tournament showed very promising material in John Cleary and Bill Jurgen- sen. This year's debate season was successful: next yearis prospects look even bright- er. The junior winners of the Mulvihill together with other seasoned junior debaters such as Don Clark, Bryan Riley, Joe Klammer and Frank Murphy should prove out- standing next year, three sophomores, Joe Rossbach, Ed Waldman, and Frank Kra- jicek, were especially active this year and developed considerably. Among the young hopefuls we find that the freshmen Jim Emerson and Brent Bozell are particularly promising. Season's climax was centered in the American Legion State Oratorical Contest held on March 24 at the Creighton University auditorium. Bill Spies battled to first place, thereby winning a trip to Cheyenne, Wyoming. me CS' ati. Before a packed house on the evening of March 31, the freshman-sophomore Hnalists in the annual Declamatory Contest ran the gamut of emotions to sway the audience and press the judges for a decision difficult to render because of the excel- lent merits of the several speakers. First came the freshman division in which Jim Emerson was declared winner, and Mark O'Neill, runner-up. Jim's selection called for a number of difficult imitations, but these he handled so expertly that he won the much coveted first place. Mark gave a true-to-life demonstration of a youngster who has been given the unhappy task of taking a baby sister for a ride in her perambu- lator. His consequent embarrassment as he met his friends along the street was oc- casion for uproarious laughter. Harry Donahoe's 'The Newsboy's Debt was in the serious veing his mastery of pathos revealed a fine dramatic talent. ,lack Brennan was most manly in a manly panegyric of the king of swat, Babe Ruth. The sophomores fiashed brilliantly. Frank Krajicek skimmed to first place with a rollicking portrayal of a trio of feminine movie-goers. Bob Betterman placed sec- ond with 5'Just Plain Cold Turkey, a Philippic directed against the familiar big brother who the world over cramps the style of a long suffering little brother. Bob was tops. Jack North burlesqued Shakespeare amid the howls of the audience. Leo Ambrose, with Brotherly Love,', reenacted the conflicts and strained relations which seem perforce to arise between brother and brother. Bob Markel proved an imper- sonator par excellence as he went through the contortions of borrowing a match from an over-obliging, bundle-ladened passerby. Finalists in the junior division were Finley Burke, Jack Kemmy, Jack Schmit- lroth, Chuck Neary, and Bill Spies. Senior finalists were Bill Doran, Jack Carroll, Don Schroeder, Ben Kava, and John T. Schall. As we go to press, these divisions have not yet held their contests, but last minute indications point to a battle of excellent and evenly matched talent.

Credit for bringing this honor and distinction to Creighton Prep was merited by our two successful contestants, James Martin and Victor Mason, who placed third and fifth, respectively. Using the pen names. 4'Pius Enniusv and HScipio Africanusf' Martin and Mason sparkled their way to a combined total of fourteen points and the coveted honor of restoring the team trophy to Prep after a long and anxious absence. Their glowing accomplishment se- cured for Creighton Prep a prize which is eagerly sought by many. In the fourteenth renewal of this annual contest. which is sponsored by the Loyola Press. Latin students from ten Jesuit High Schools throughout the Chicago and Miss souri Provinces vied for the ten positions of honor. Each school was permitted to en- ter any number of contestants in the preliminaries, but only three entries from each school could be submitted for final judgment. The triumph of Martin and Mason awakens memories of the only other occasion on which Creighton emerged team victor. In 1936 the elusive prize was captured by a trio of Prepsters who grand slammed by monopolizing the first three positions. On two other occasions first ranking was awarded to individual Prep students. hut in each instance first place was not sufficient to insure a team victory. Victor Mason and James Martin display dll' trophy rlwardcrl them as top team in the Latin Contest. ya ynnfoz To the 1941 'flay Juniorn staff belongs the enviable distinction of being the first staff in Creighton Prep history to produce a yearbook with two-color engravings. Divisional pages such as herein contained have long been the dream of staffs in years gone by, but it remained for the '41 staff to make the dream a reality. It all came abo-ut this way. School had hardly begun last September when plans were drafted for the '41 annual. An art theme in double colors was highly desirable. but the consequent expense made that desire abortive. Suddenly a satisfactiry solu- tion reached. Through the efforts of the Jesuits at Loyola University in Chicago. over fifteen Jesuit high schools in the United States agreed to collaborate on an art theme which all participants would share. By this expedient engraving expenses were cut in half, while the advantages of two-color work were open to schools which heretofore were unable to undertake such an enterprise. The '41 staff cooperated in this project. The beneficent results are manifest in the superior theme of this volume. Success in any yearbook is based on financial soundness. Expenses run so high that unless a successful advertising campaign is conducted the whole project is doomed to failure. This year's staff was extraordinarly successful in promoting an advertising program that moved steadily to full quota. That success was centered around four men: Joe Carver, editorg John Bozell, advertising managerg John Connolly, associate to Bozellg and Clem Brown, business manager. Faithfully following the path of the above trail-blazers were: John Cleary, Bill Jurgensen, John Raynor. Bob Crozier, Bob Lyons, Bob Marcotte, Bob Jeffrey, and Jim Dodson. The above mentioned twelve gain the credit of having placed over four-fifths of the ad- vertising in this book. The writing of the book was handled almost entirely by seniors. Chief among these was Vic Mason. Others who contributed articles were Bob Crozier, John Raynor, Bill Jurgensen, John Cleary, Bill Doran, Jack Connolly, and Tony Kettler. A considerable amount of the photography was done by Junior-Sophomore staff members. Jack Keegan, amateur with professional skill, is responsible for several of the group shots in the activity section, as well as a number of candids in the back of the book. Jim Dodson, Bob Lyons, and Bob Marcotte also lent their help on pic- tures. The prosaic task of proofreading, editing, and assembling copy was cheerfully executed by any and all staff members who were available at the time the particular job had to be done. Joe Carver, Tony Kettler, and Bill Doran were always available. Bill Nolan typed page after page of copy. The entire staff is justified in being proud of their book, a noteworthy achieve- ment. The Prep student body offers its thanks for a super-yearbook. The volume may long remain a challenge to the ambitions of future Jay Junior staffs. JWNQF Senior Staff - Q.

At the first staff meeting Mr. Crowley, S. J., newly appointed moderator of publications, announced that a portion of each meeting would be devoted to the exposition of journalism techniques. ln this way the staff was enabled to learn the principles of newspaper writing and apply them immediately in story assignments. As a result of the concerted efforts of the staff to improve the paper, there was a marked increase of interest in each edition. The news stories woke up under the energetic pens of capable reporters such as John Bozell, Bill Spies, and Jim Dodson. Headlines ceased to be mere labels principally because most of them were written bv Bill Doran, Jim Finnegan, and Bob Jeffrey. Action pictures usually accompanied the major sport stories. These pictures were obtained through the courtesy of the World Herald. Joe Carver both secured the pictures and wrote the stories. He was ably assisted by Tony Kettler. Second team and intra-mural accounts were handled by Denny Flanagan. Vic Mason did a superb joy on the Sodality column. He leaves a record which his successor will duplicate only by dint of hard, persistent work. Clem Brown and Bob Jeffrey gained the merit of writing editorials which were timely as well as energetic. A new policy was introduced this year in regard to stories appearing in the literary section. Heretofore regular staff members supplied this feature. More variety was secured by using stories turned in by members of the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes. Among the contributors were Bob O'Leary, Ray McDonald, Bob Baynor, Bob Crozier, and Joe Archibald. The actual editing and assembling of the paper was taken care of by a group whose fidelity is deserving of special praise. Bill Nolan did much of the typingg Bill Doran and Jim Finnegan served as rewrite meng Tony Kettler and Joe Carver never failed to lend much appreciated help in the proofreadingg Bob Jeffrey, besides assisting in the above tasks, dashed to the printer on many of those hurried, last- minute trips which seem to be a necessary part of publication work. The cooperation of the group was such that copy always went to the printer on schedule. Once an edition returned from the printer, Bob Lyons and Bill McMahon, in addition to taking care of school circulation, sent out copies to the schools on our mailing list. Unquestionably, the Prep staff did very praiseworthy work this year. When the staff reorganizes next fall, it is hoped that other enthusiastic journalists will be present to replace those whom we lose this term by graduation. Prep-O-Gram While work feverishly went forward on the yearbook, a number of Juniors found time to keep the student body informed on news of the moment through the medium of the mimeographed journal, Prep-0-Cram. Bob Jeffrey and Jim Dodson served as managing editors. They made the assignments and planned page make-up. When stencils had been cut, Denny Flanagan operated the mimeograph machine while others assisted in stapling the pages. All news fronts were covered by Bryan Riley, Bill Reefe, Bill McMahon, Don Clarke, and Bob Lyons. Sports were adequately cared for by Jim Finnegan and Den- ny Flanagan. An occasional feature was supplied by Bill McCarten. Not all realize the amount of work required to produce an issue of Prep-0- Gram. The task was willingly accepted by the above mentioned group and efficiently performed. Special thanks are due Bob Jeffrey, Jim Dodson, and Denny Flanagan for their sacrifice of hours of precious time in order that the paper would come out on schedule. .,,,,......E Creighton stadium, home of the junior lays, throngs with memories of blood-tingling contests. 0 ZP Nm G31! 0 s Efo'N!

GRI!-IR tmanagerit Varsity Football What actually happened became known not only to Omaha but to the state ot Nebraska. For the l940 Jay swept to the inter-state championship and shared a three- way tie for the state championship. Brilliant in the galaxy of stars were Captain Bill Wachtler. all-state halfhack for his second 'consecutive year. and Bill Better- man. all-state guard. Four from Prep placed on the all-intercity team: Wachtler and Wingender at the halfback positions, Betterman at guard, and Jack Larkin at full- back. Larkin was intercity scoring ace, having amassed a season's total of 70 points. The backfield picture was completed with Nocita at quarterback. His uncanny ability to call the right play at the right moment, along with his devastating blocking, paved the way to many a victory. ln the line there were Bob Brady and Sam Russo, ends. Bob snared passes: Sam was a fortress when it came to defense. Holst and Lynch were crashing tacklesg Campagna and Kava, guards who never folded under punishment. Other seniors who were instrumental in making the l940 team of champion calibre were Moore tendl. Donnermeyer fguardl, Jurgensen ttacklel, Boler lguardl, and Young tguardl. Valuable backs were Eastman, Jim Larkin, and Conway, the latter of whom proved to be a 'climax runner par excellence. -Wmmmmwkk 'lhpz njiggf' Cmmay qlanccs fiw yards for Top: jack Larkin uml Hill Wu:-lnllm-r ilu Ilw swurnl IUIIVIIKIUNII III llw 20-fr lout nf lmvk, who hit with ilu. fury of ll,l,m1l.,-l,1,llg Ilvllwml.

At the half the score read 6-6. Then Prep opened up. Game highlights were the four touchdowns by Jack Larkin and the brilliant line-play of Betterman. PREP 33 CATHEDRAL 12. The Blues took over early in this game. .Iiggs Con- way was backfield hero. PREP 24 NORTH 0. This game proved that the forward wall of the young Jays was fast becoming impregnable. In the second half North gained but four yards from scrimmage. PREP 26 FREMONT 6. A formidable Fremont eleven took the field against a deter- mined Prep machine. Fremont came with a victory stringg Fremont returned home with a victory string broken. PREP 26 BENSON 6. The Bunnies were no match for the terrific pace which the ,Iunior Blues set in this contest. Prep let loose in the second quarter, and in nine smashes through the line had advanced 77 yards to a touchdown. Feature of the evening was Higgs Conway's 66 yard touchdown sprint on a fake reverse. PREP 33 HAVELOCK 6. In the first quarter Prep gathered I8 points. Everybody saw action in this one. PREP 34 GRAND ISLAND 6. This was judged Prep's best game of the year. With the entire line playing flawless ball. the backs reeled off amazing chunks of yardage. The Islanders were the first to score. That was the spark which touched off the Prep fireworks. At half-time we were ahead 7-6. Early in the third stanza the ,lays drove 65 yards for another touchdown. At this point Grand Island foldedg the game turned into a rout. PREP 6 TEE JAY 9. The highly favored Jays fell before an inspired underdog to receive the first defeat in 22 games. Early in the first quarter Wingender was trapped in the end zone for the two points which sparked the Yellowjackets to victory. With a minute to play, Tee ,lay completed a pass for the winning touchdown. PREP 13 TECH 13. On an unlucky, snow-covered field, Prep and Tech played to an unlucky tie. Prep piled up their 13 points early in the second half. Then came Tech's turn. Wingender was returning a puntg three Tech men hit him. A Tech man grabbed the ball and raced to a touchdown. Movies afterwards showed that the ball had touched the ground, though at the time the officials ruled the touchdown good. The resulting tie cost Prep the intercity title.

We-an tmanagery Varsity Basketball Legion were the prophets and seers who predicted a dull season for the '40-'ell edition of the Prep basketball team. But fortunately. the prophets were self-appointed. and self-appointed experts have a way of getting mixed up in the business at which they profess to be expert. Their forecast for Prep was entirely wrong. Coach Bob Miller, serving his first year as head coach, brought the team from an unpromising beginning to the impressive climax of championship in the inter- state league. Add to this, the Junior Jays came within an ace of copping the inter- city title. This honor was snatched from them in the final game of the season when, utterly fatigued from a victorious but grilling contest with Benson, the Prep five swung into action the next day against Tech. Tech was able to eke out a win over the weary warriors who had crushed them in an early-season game. Out of a total of seventeen games, the Jays won thirteen. Two of the losses came at the start of the seasong then the boys in blue hit their stride and rang up eleven consecutive victories. They averaged twenty-eight points a gameg the opponents averaged twenty. This record takes on a greater significance when it is recalled that only one letterman was in the starting line-up and that some of the opposing teams over which Prep triumphed went far in the state tournament. To Captain Dick de la Vega goes much of the 'credit for the very successful season. His brilliant defensive play won him a position on the all-state team. Three others won honorable mention on the all inter-city. They were: Walt Matejka, skyrocket forward, who led in scoring for Prep with over a hundred pointsg Rex Barney, towering center. whose pivot shot was a joy to Prepsters and a head- ache to opponents, Freddie Mauro, guard, whose smooth passing and deadly shoot- ing greatly assisted the team. Fellow-forward of Matejka was Bub', Gleeson, whose approach to the ubiqui- tous was phenomenal. His lightning play kept him all over the court all at once. His extraordinary ability to break up plays by taking the ball away from the opposing team was a constant marvel. Valuable substitutes were had in Sam Russo and Frank Mancuso. guards. Chuck Neary, promoted from the second team in mid-season, holds out promise for valuable work next year. Jim Eastman, Junior forward, found the hoop often as the season progressed. Bob O,Leary, who alternated at center and guard, likewise has tasted much of battle in preparation for next year. Highlights of the season include the game at Falls City. Up until the night they played Prep, Falls City was unbeaten. But that night Falls City fell. Prep never re- linquished the lead in a game which stayed close all the way. Then there was the North game at Prep in which the Jays photo-finished in a 26-22 triumph. The second game with South kept the stands in a perpetual dither as the Jays swished to a 26-21 victory. In the city tournament it was the same South team that shattered Prep's hopes of going to the state tournament by winning over us on a 26-23 count.

LYNAM, S. LA GRECA. Standing: COACH GEORGE LYNCH, E. SLATTERY, J. TRAYNOR, F. HowEs, J. GARVEY. J. NORTH, J. Gll,I. QM.-XNAGERJ. Though faced with the problem of having to build a team that was handicapped by the absence of experienced players, Coach George Lynch was confident that the second team had a high potential ability which would assert itself once the season got under way. His confidence, reinforced by hours of serious work, advanced the team far along the avenue of success. ln a schedule that bristled with basket-gunning op- ponents, the Prep reserves were able to emerge victors in half their games and thereby gain third place in the inter-city race. Never did the team succumb to a spirit of de- featism. ln fact, it was often a devastating rally which put the boys in blue out ahead in the closing seconds of a game. Several won promotion to the varsity squad before the season was far advanced. This honor went to Frank Mancuso tguardl, Bob O'Leary lcenterl, and Chuck Neary lforwardl. Their former positions on the reserves were promptly taken by eligible understudies. Ray McAuliffe became famous for his consistency in ringing up under-the-basket shots. Ed Lynam and Joe Traynor, midget firebrands. ran the enemy ragged with their lightning break-aways. Jack Peterson, deadly on long shots, used his height to advantage in grabbing rebounds. Jack Garvey was a relentless ball hawk, Tom Hughes, a dependable guard, who crashed through for an occasional basket when most needed. Valuable reserves were had in Sam La Greca, Ed Slattery, Jack North, and Frank Howes. Future prospects are brightened by the fact that the team next year will enjoy the stabilizing influence of players who have participated in a considerable number of games. I Fl' srnl-inc.

XR Freshman Football Freshman athletics at Prep surged forward this year by reason of the new Fresh- man League organized by the inter-city Board of Control. The diminutive gridders took each game with the high seriousness of a varsity battling for league honors. By dint of hard work they finished the season third from the top. Sparked by Captain Tom Staley at quarter, they played a Spartan game, even against the several teams which outweighed them considerably. Running mates to Staley were halfbacks, Jack Watsabaugh and Tom Green, the latter having become an all-city back. George Reilly played fullback. ,lack Weston was center, Dick Kemmy and Bill Neville, rugged guards. Gene Cunningham and Vince Johnson teamed at tackles, while Bob Harding and Frank Howes flashed brilliantly as ends. Others who saw action in most of the games were Mike Davlin, Dick Hiserodt, and Holly Logsdon lendsjg Chuck Schultz and Gene Slattery ltacklesjg .lack Brice and Dan Abboud fguardsjg and Bob Young fcenterj. In the backfield were Bob Nickerson at fullback, Bill Maggio and Bill Haller, halfbacksg and Bay Hurt at quarter. Freshman Basketball Enjoying the heat of competition in the newly organized inter-city Freshman League, and aflame with the desire for a larger share in league honors, the Prep basketeers mounted to a torrid temperature in the first game and never cooled off until the last game of the season was victoriously tucked away. Never defeated, the midget Prepsters topped the City League and the Omaha division of the Inter-State League. Not satisfied with this, they blasted Central, the defending champions of the Mis- souri Valley in the Omaha division. Chief factor in this extraordinary success was the superb coaching of William Ziesel, Frosh mentor. ln the starting line-up were Frank Howes, rangy centerg Bill Haller and Bill O,Leary, whirlwind forwards. This double-hill combination made things costly for opponents. At guards were Jack Watsabaugh and Paul Burke, impenetrable as Trojan towers. Reserves who never failed to spark the team if its fiame momentarily sputtered were Bill Maggio and Tony Incontro tforwardsb, Dick Kemmy fcenterj, Tom Green and Dick Moscrey fguardsl. Assisting in the season's unbroken string of victories were Dick Hiserodt. Tom Muldoon, Tom Staley. Jack Brennan, Brent Bozell, Pat O'Keefe, and Holly Logsdon. Tennis It was with deep regret and a sinking heart that we saw the state-champion tennis squad of '40 leave Creighton Prep. Gloomy forebodings seemed the order of the day for the team that was to succeed it in 1941. This feeling prevailed -until the sunny days of spring called out all those who hoped to find a place among the racketeers of the '41 tennis team. Pessimism, however, was speedily routed by the astonishing number and spirit of the newcomers who seemed loth to allow the championship trophy to seek a niche in halls alien to Prep. With Captain Dave Hanighen as key man, we proceeded to build with ever brightening prospects. After the first few weeks of practice in the gymnasium, sur- prising talent was uncovered in Tom Arkwright, Dick Lorenc, Tony Zeman, and .lim Vernon. The remainder of the squad is made up of Tony Greco, Bob Popp Bob Prendergast, John T. Schall, and Ray Shaddy. The team this year has been under the tutorship of Mr. B. T. Lukaszewski, S. J. Golf The snows have fled, spring is in the air, swing those clubs, golf is the game! Under the capable direction of Mr. Daly, S. J., the squad won the inter-state champion- ship last year. Objective of this year's team is to mount to the state championship. Steadied by the three returning letter men, Bill Rouse, .lack Moore, and Jim Eastman, the team is making rapid progress. Bob Young, Howard Sturek, and Jack Shearman drive long and accurately, and make approach shots that amble right up to the cup. Surprisingly, the freshmen who tried out for the team this year have displayed exceptional talent. They shoot excellent games and, even under the pressure of league contests, manage to retain the poise of experienced golfers. Tennis Team R. Snwm' 4M,xNAcER3. A. Casco, J. SCHALL, A. ZEMAN, R. Pow.

E With many of last year's state championship team returning to form the nucleus of the 'lil haselwall team, prospects for another banner season are hright. Coach William Ziesel predicts a duplication of last year's performance. Captain Walt Matejka is at his familiar post, third base. Bill Wachtler. Sam llusso. and Frank Mancuso are taking care of the outfield. Jiggs Conway sees service at shortg Jack Larkin is the never-miss catcher. Dick Hanna. Hex Barney. Don Ohlinger, George Eastman, Barney Byrne. and Tom Hughes are among the veterans who return from last year's squad. The pitching staff is formidable, consisting of G'No-Hit', Wachtler, S'Speedo Busso, 'LCurvex Hanna. and 'lBullet Barney. Over on second Tom Hughes and Dan McMillan take turns. Both yield occasionally to Tony lncontro. a Freshman find. Others who are in the game this spring are Benny Bendekovic, Chuck Neary, Harry Elston, Ed Lynam. Frank Greise, Ed Slattery. and Bay Zink. Such a wealth of material should hring rich returns. V t' tt g A f if t ,' 3 W li . Mlil Forth from esuit Schools, oining the Chivalry of Christ, the Ranks of Youth Emerge As OUR Graduates of 1941 go forth into higher education and the responsibilities of adult life, they are joined by columns of graduates from many other Jesuit schools. It is a trained, formidable army of youth, but its allegiance is to a Kingdom that is not of this world. Its members are joined in serried, marching ranks in the Mystical Body of Christ. Those ranks are indestructible. They have marched endlessly, following their Leader, waging His wars, winning hard victories, earning the one reward that satishes the heart of man. Individuals may fall by the way, but the ranks march on and will march on through all human crises, tragedies, and triumphs. This army does not join the children of the world in their despairing search for a godlike man, it has no part in isms, panaceas, or utopias. Its greatest objective and its deepest joy are loyalty to its divine Leader and the benison of His love. As St. Ignatius began the work, which has lasted four centuries, in the grotto of Manresa, alone, so, every Graduate of 1941, as a member of this prevailing spiritual army, knows his arena is the grotto of his own immortal soul. He knows that once he has attained, through grace, to an ardent love of the Son of God, all these other things will be added. U 1 X! Nfif, V f 1-1' , 'T 51 fd Q ' , A-2 ll f!

I X, Youth THE future always belongs to youthg and youth is endowed with a charming, God-given enthusiasm for its heritage. Down the centuries, whether their dawn was brilliant with peace and promise or shrouded in threatening clouds and heavy gloom, the youth have always peered into the spreading light with brave, eager, searching eyes. The particular heritage of the Class of 1941 brings them face to face with a future menaced by forces alien to their tra- ditions and to their aspirations. For them, more than for most generations of youth, truly to live will be to contest and conquer. With a solemn though buoyant awareness of the rigors of the way that lies ahead, they whisper the prayer: Lord, ifThou art with us, who can be against us? They dedicate themselves to the leadership of the Son of God, and march forth resolutely into a disorderly, dis- consolate world. It is in the spirit of this dedication that they present he Classes x l 1 X dia S :tim 1 A El, if f?'f -2 .sf l zfmioza Any resume of the activities of the members of the class of '42 can but inadequate- ly relate the true extent of our fine achievements this year. ln both the curricular and the extra-curricular fields of endeavor third year men constantly distinguished the Junior class and themselves by earnest effort and loyalty. Leading the intellectual field from the outset were Bob O'Leary and Paul McMillan, of whom the latter, though kept more than preoccupied with his duties as librarian and first string baseballer, was found worthy to 'compete with the best among the seniors in the Missouri and Chicago Province Latin Contest. Numerous juniors held minor offices in the large Sodality. Of the two branch Sodalities necessitated by schedule, one was successfully managed by Jim Eastman, prefect, Charles Kudlacz, treasurer, and Frank Mancuso, secretary. The other had Ronny Tighe for prefect, Bryan Riley for secretary, and Jack Peterson for treasurer. The work of all of these leaders was commendable throughout. Representing the class on the football field last fall were Jim McCarthy, Jim East- man, John Bendekovic, Dick Dineen, John Barrett, Jim Corcoran, Bill Nedley, Jack Devoe, and big Bob Thomas, all of whom are sure to fill the shoes of departing seniors next season. On the hard wood floor we discover Chuck Neary working his way up to the first squad by the mid year, Jim Eastman, a first stringer from the start, lanky Bob 0'Leary with his no less rangy cousin Jack Peterson, Ed Lynam, and Joe Traynor. Come next December, all of these should see action on the first team. Much credit for excellent management in football and basketball is due Louis Kubat, Bob Wear and Jerry Gill. A good season in baseball owes its success in no little measure to the good work of John Bendekovic, Paul McMillan, Chuck Neary, Ray Zink, Dick Kudlacz, Frank Creise, and manager Ed Everitt. Not content with allowing the Mulvihill debate award to be given outright to the senior debaters, Jim Vernon, Jack Schmittroth and Ronny Tighe ploughed their way through a series of preliminaries involving the whole student body and arrived at the finals. At the actual Mulvihill debate, held in the moot court of the law building, these three wrangling musketeers brought victory to a junior team for the first time in the history of this annual affair, and to themselves the tidy sum of five dollars each. We are proud to mention here the extraordinary achievements of Bill Spies, who not only did heroic work with Bob Jeffrey and Jim McCarten as head cheer leader, but, as the sole junior contestant in the American Legion State Oratorical Contest held this year at Prep, won first place, for which he was given a beautiful gold medal and a free trip to Cheyenne, Wyoming, there to compete with the representative high school orators of the entire western half of the United States. Bill was also among the Hnalists in the Prep Elocution Contest, and had the lead in two of the three plays presented by the Masquers. The class applauds faithful Bob Jeffrey, Jim Dodson and Bill McCarten for the way they carried out the grilling task of publishing the Prep-O-Gram during the sec- ond semester. We should like to take this opportunity to express our sincerest gratitude to all our professors who have made possible the realization of our fondest hopes of a suc- cessful year. ln presenting the above list of accomplishments, it has not been the inten- tion of the junior class merely to boast of deeds the limitations of which we must be the first to acknowledge. Rather, we have desired to inscribe our endeavors on a last- ing tablet that their success may inspire those who follow in our footsteps to carry forward the torch we leave with them, and that their deficiencies may spur us to hold yet higher the torch thrown us by our departing seniors. 7 'ff'-ff uf-.f Three A First row: L.

SCHROEDER cga A0l4fLOZ6.4 As we approach the end of our second year at Prep, we look with admiration at thc way so many of our classmates rose to superior performance in both academic and extra-curricular activities. There was always an illustrious list of Sopbomores on the honor roll. Ed Waldmann never relinquished his position as class leader, but he was given some manly competition by shining lights such as Bob Hilbert, John Murphy, Gene Igel, John de la Vega, Al .lones, ,lack McBride, Joe Rossbach, llay McDonald, and Dan O'Brien. Two of our number were squad members of the varsity football team. Fred Fischer, fullback, has a good chance of taking over the power post next September. Tom Hughes, at quarter, gained recognition in the Grand Island game. Grand Island knew bow to plow up a line and smear ball carriers. But Tom called signals, punted and ran like a seasoned veteran. Most of the second team was composed of Sophomores who will be making strong bids for squad positions next September. Harry Kinnear and Ed Slattery were fiery guards, Jack Garvey and Ray McAuliffe, fleet backs. Jack Haegan throws the pigskin with unerring accuracy. Sam La Greca dumped every ball carrier that came around his end. Others who played with the seconds were .lack Strudl, Phil Haller, John Donahue, Jack Juergens, Bud Kalhorn, Jack North, Archie Boscardin, and .lack Dorsey. In basketball we were equally well represented. Rex Barney, varsity center, won the acclaim of Sophomore sensation. He gained honorable mention on the all-intercity team. Practically all the regulars on the second string were Sophomores. Bay McAuliffe and Sam La Greca alternated at center, ,lack Garvey was a galloping ghost at forward, Tom Hughes played guard. Ed Slattery and ,lack North took turns at guard. Drama attracted a select few, of whom the most successful was Bob Markel. His fine work in the Christmas play assured him of future triumphs as a Tbespian. ln elocution, too, be acquitted himself with eclat, as did Frank Krajicek, Bob Better- man, Leo Ambrose, and ,lack North. Others who came up as potentially great speakers were Bob Bogard. Bob Lyons, and Bob Marcotte. Debaters who loved the clash of argument were Bob Hilbert, Frank Krajicek. Fd Waldmann, and Joe Bossbach. The very progressive Sophomore Sodality was governed by Tom Hughes, Rex Barney, ,lack Hanna, Jack Brady, and Gene Igel. Under their leadership the Sophomore Sodality program took on life and variety. Not so many of us were in the Glee Club last fall, Frank Krajicek, and Jerry Parle were among those who joined at the beginning of the year. After the club was reorganized in early spring, a larger number secured entrance. Work on publications seemed to be a little beyond our ability. Anyway, only a couple of us won staff positions on the Jay Junior. Bob Lyons and Bob Marcotte have gained valuable experience in the gigantic task of publishing a yearbook. Their success will serve as an incentive to the rest of us to attempt making the staff next year. We look forward to our Junior year with eagerness. We sincerely feel that we have just begun to bit our stride. Wle are anxious to distinguish ourselves bv still greater achievements. ' TWO A First ron: R. SIIADDY, J. DI: I..x Yrzcx. R.

DONAHUE Two D JZ364 l4fL6lfL Prep students long have held the illustrious reputation of being devotedly loyal to their Alma Mater, but this year's Freshmen have mounted to a distinguished level in this respect. Every Prep activity was attended by an unbroken phalanx of Fresh- men, and when cheering was in order, their high-pitched voices rang out over the rest. Back of this loyalty has surged a hard-driving rush of talent which in all likeli- hood will sweep the class ever forward to new goals of conquest. In the classroom there burned the rivalry, friendly but intense, for leadership. Vin Johnson, Tem Sprengel, Brent Bozell, and Dick Hiserodt battled for top spot. Vin stayed out ahead. Other competitors for the crown numbered Bill Marsh, Frank Gar- vey, Bob Nickerson, John Quinn, Jack Flynn, and Dick Stolinski. The Sodality of our Lady was the most effective medium for uniting the class and giving it the power which comes from union. Maurice Griffin, Tom Green, Bill Ne- ville, and Bill Haller were 'chief spokesmen in this organization. Forensics won the enthusiasm of not a few. Jimmy Emerson flashed to the quarter- finals in the Mulvihill Tournament, Brent Bozell was close behind him. Frank Garvey, Bob Nickerson, and Paul Burke were among the wranglers who hope to do a lot of steady debating next year. Elocution uncovered enough dramatic ability to make a Hollywood talent scout turn handsprings for joy. Bright in a galaxy of stars were Jack Brennan, Mark O'Neill, Frank Everitt, Harry Donahoe, and Jimmy Emerson. Choristers were numerous, I B having produced the greatest number in this de- partment. Though ceaselessly busy with affairs of the classroom, the Freshmen found time to promote an athletic program that brought them inter-city renown. Their football team clashed courageously with many a foe their superior in weight and height. Still they were able to place third in the inter-city league. Tom Green and Bill Maggio, lightning backs, helped considerably to the victories, as did linemen Gene Cunning- ham, ,Ia'ck Weston, and Dick Kemmy. Basketball was even more successful. With not a single setback, the midget Jays zoomed to undisputed first place in the inter-city race and then, as a fitting finale, swished past Central, the defending champions of the Missouri Valley League. Com- bining to rack up those victories were Bill Haller, Frank Howes, Paul Burke, Bill Mag- gio, Tony lncontro, Dick Moscrey, and Jack 0'Leary. Now that the end of the year is at hand, a common resolve has seized the entire class. That resolve is to come back here next September to work hard at the worth- while task of becoming an all-time great class in the history of Prep. One A First ron: J. BROWN. M. GRIFFIN. J.

SWANSON Acknowledgments It would be impossible to thank individually every one who collaborated to make the 1941 JAY JUNIOR a reality. The staff this year cooperated flawlessly. But special mention must be given the editor, Joe Carver, whose fidelity through long months of tedious labor never wavered. John Bozell and Jack Connolly merit the distinction of having sparked an advertising campaign that in point of efficiency has set a milestone in JAY JUNIOR history. Clem Brown, in the capacity of business manager, executed that task most satisfactorily. Likewise to the following we owe a deep thanks: To our patrons and advertisers. Without them we could not publish a book of this quality. To the Messenger Corporation of Auburn, Indiana for permission to reproduce the dedication picture appearing in this book. To Pontiac Engraving Company of Chicago for the superior art work on the divisional pages. To Lucas Studio for high speed photo service. To Mr. L. E. Cary, binder of the book, for his constant willingness to do more than his share of the work. To Hugh Fogarty and Hugh Higgins for the use of cuts. To Joseph Murphy for the use of the University's journalism rooms. To Rev. J. E. O'Brien, S. J., pastor of St. John's Church, for the use of parlors in the rectory for a number of group pictures. To the faculty of Creighton Prep for innumerable suggestions and helps, and es- pecially to Mr. F. T. Daly, S. J., for photographing and printing a great number of the group pictures. To all who in any way contributed their services.
