D. 1877 - 1941 If years are to be remembered by their losses, then 1941 was a memorable year for Loras Col¬ lege For in that year passed away a man whose very life was Loras, the Reverend Doctor Alphonsus Dress. Something went out of Loras with his nass- ing, something irreplaceable For by his death the College lost not only an eminent faculty member, a teacher who for over a generation built and held his department to an enviable standard of excel¬ lence, but also a memorable, almost historic char¬ acter in the life and legend of the campus Doctor Dress and music were synonomous His noted works in the field of liturgical music will live long But most important to Loras is the fart that Doctor Dress was the organizer of the Vested Choir which has become one of the leading cam¬ pus organizations since he trained his first group of college singers back in 1908. Words of tribute come stiltingly and do not half express what the heart intends Of all the tributes that were paid to Doctor Dress perhaps the most eloquent was made in 1933 on the occasion of his twenty-fifth year as a member of the Loras faculty by a fellow jubilarian, the Rev. Dr I J Semper Said Doctor Semper “For me. Doctor Dress has always stood for art in its highest manifestation art wedded to religion He has used that splendid gift of Cod his vision making faculty to harness music, the most spiritual of the fine arts, m the service of the altar His zeal for sacred music has stamped his work as a choir director and as a composer with an impress which is as devo¬ tional as it is beautiful.” £ ’ s v rt REV.

Doc” Kammer watches his boys.” Football The 1941 Loras College football squad went through a nine game schedule with three wins, and six losses. Coach Vince Dowd started his first year at the helm of the Purple and Cold machine. Bill McGuire was line coach. The Loras squad used the T formation this year under Coach Dowd. Four veteran backfield men and nine letter¬ winning linemen reported for practice which op¬ ened during the first week of September. Ralph Cormany and Heinie Engel co-captained the squad. Thirty-three other hopeful candidates, including the annual frosh aspirants, also reported for the practice drills LORAS, 13; CENTRAL, 6 Both teams played on a par during the first half except for the touchdown by Merlin Bonwell. In one fierce assault the Dutchmen filled the air with lateral passes and mixed in a few short running plays together for small gains and pushed the ball into pay dirt. The story took on a different aspect in the sec¬ ond half. The Purple and Cold eleven came back and unleashed hidden power that had been missing from their running game up until this point. Frankie Kelly, Paul Goodwin, John Saunders really cut loose when Heinie Engel, Loras ' blocking quarterback, gave them the chance to strut their wares. These running plays that were made possible by a fast charging line set up the two touchdown plays made by Jack Sensor and Terry Ennes. Both The boys on the sidelines watch. “Put me in, Coach.” Ready to ring for victory. £ ’ twenty-fue touchdowns were made on end around jaunts and they seemed to be accomplished with apparent ease. John Corcoran’s educated toe placed the first ball between the uprights for the extra point but his chance after the second touchdown fell short. LORAS, 6; ST. THOMAS, 33 The trek into the Northland did not turn out to be much of a party for the Lorasmen because the Tommies from St. Paul forgot to act as hosts for the evening and defeated the Purple and Cold eleven 33-6. Loras scored its only touchdown with a brilliant display of razzle dazzle near the end of the quar¬ ter. The tally was made possible when Quigley fumbled for the Purple and Cray on the Loras 34. Terry Ennes, Frankie Kelly, “Pepper” Goodwin and Co. immediately went to work and did not stop until Goodwin had made a touchdown to tie the score. Kelly’s try for the extra point was no good and the score stood 6-6. From here on the Tommies pushed the Purple and Cold all over the field and won 33-6. LORAS, 0; ST. JOSEPH’S, 13 Taking full advantage of temporary flaws in the Duhawk line, St. Joe’s alert Pumas from Rensselser, Ind., struck twice for touchdowns to spoil Loras College’s first home appearance, this season 13-0. Varini was St. Josephs’ outstanding man. scor¬ ing both touchdowns. The Duhawk line from tackle to tackle turned in an excellent perform¬ ance. LORAS, 6; ST. MARY’S, 0 The Loras Duhawks brought the Homecoming festivities to an auspicious close by polishing off a hitherto unbeaten St. Mary’s team of Winona, Minnesota, by a score of 6-0. A large Homecoming crowd watched the Du¬ hawks smash a desperate aerial attack of the Red- men in the final minutes Loras registered its touchdown on a 72 yard sustained march The fireworks started when Co- captain Heinie Engel furnished the spark on a 29 yard run which was followed by Paul Goodwin hitting center for one yard, a five yard gam on an end around by Jack Sensor, followed by Terry En- nes on the same play produced a first down on the St. Mary ' s one yard line. Coodwin took the ball on the next play and cracked over for the touch¬ down. His dropkick for the extra point was wide. LORAS, 38; UPPER IOWA, 0 On their home field before a large homecoming crowd, the Upper Iowa University Peacocks fell before the terrific onslaught of the Loras College eleven 38-0. This was the worst drubbing handed to Coach Doc Dorman and his boys in many a moon. Dick Knockel, Jack Sensor, and Ray O’Brien played outstanding ball for the winners while Bill Walters and Dale Alderson played well for the losers. LORAS, 0; PARSONS, 6 The title hopes of the Loras Duhawks received a severe setback when the Parson Wildcats from Fairfield, Iowa, set down the Purple and Cold elev¬ en 6-0. Pre-game dope gave an edge to the Duhawks but the Kelly Green eleven must not have read the papers because early in the first period they blocked P Goodwin’s punt on the 14 yard line and page twenty-six Wayne Harrell, Parsons outstanding backfield ace, was given the ball and on the second attempt through the line, plunged into pay dirt. This game was played in the new municipal field at Ottumwa, Iowa. Incessant rain had trans¬ formed the turf into a sea of mud and water. Some 5.000 chilled fans were astonished at Loras scoring first on an end run by John Mudore. in the first quarter. To win this game, however, the Bees had to use all their superior power coupled with the brilliant ball carrying of Tony Rotunno. their Sophomore star. It was Rotunno s running that spelled defeat for the Lorasmen. LORAS, 6; LUTHER, 9 In their last home conference game of the year the Loras Duhawks were defeated 9-6 by a deter¬ mined band of Norsemen from Luther College. The Lorasmen still smouldering from the de¬ feat received at the hands of Parsons went into the Luther game with the intention of wrecking the Norsemen’s title hopes. It looked as though they were going to do just that because in the first period of the game the Duhawks made a touchdown on a 99 yard sustained drive Luther scored a safety in the third quarter and a touchdown in the fourth quarter LORAS, 6; ST. AMBROSE, 19 St Ambrose of Davenport, Iowa, again suc¬ cessfully defended the Iowa Catholic college football championship by defeating a stubborn Duhawk grid machine 19-6.

Algonn, Iowa The advent of war on December 8, 1941, brought a change to the Loras campus as it did to every other aspect of life in the United States. Many Loras alumni were already serving in the armed forces on Dec. 7, when Pearl Harbor was attacked, and many more have been called to the colors since. Affected in a lesser degree since they are generally of a younger age group were the students still in the college. Nevertheless, many of them dropped out of school during the past year to join the Army, the Navy, or the Marines. The most complete list available at publication time contains the names of the following students who left school during the course of this year to join the armed forces: Cletus Baum George Dean Heinie Engel Jaun Garcia Harold J. Haag Loras Kenny William Kostellic Dale Laughlin Maurice Lee Hugh McCaffrey Edward Moes Ed Nicklaus Joseph Noonan George Ohligschlager Robert Powers Joseph Rigney Philip Schacherer George Splinter James Sullivan Jorge Valentin John L. Wagner James Wolaver I’ligr ,w 1 -three J J The Purgold The success of any publication—year¬ book, newspaper or magazine—is not a one man job as is taken for granted by so many. The success of a publication depends upon hte cooperation and hard work of all the staff members. In this respect The 1942 Purgold has been fortunate. The staff has been exceedingly small and exceedingly hard-working The financing of the book was handled in an admirable way by Business Manager George J. Andresen and his associates Charles Fox and Clair Fiedler. Helpful too in the work of planning and producing the book was Assistant Editor Paul F Liston. The tedious and difficult work of pro¬ curing student lists, arranging them alpha¬ betically, identifying and arranging pictures and of compiling organizations’ write-ups and membership lists was in charge of Lowell Shekleton. Organizations Editor, and Robert Freund, Class Editor, who gave in¬ valuable service in this regard. The sports section was the work of two men, Clair Fiedler, Sports Editor and his assistant, John Tom Cody. Photography George J. Andresen B u si n css A I a n a c r John R.

Peculiar problems were faced by The Purgold staff this year Plans had been made for an enlarged book and work was going forward on that assumption, and then came Pearl Harbor. Work on the annual was suspended until semester time while it was being determined whether or not Loras was to have a 1942 edition of The Purgold The “go ahead signal was given at sem¬ ester time but the staff had then to pro¬ ceed on a reduced rather than an enlarged budget Complications arose in changing the plans so greatly, but these were all smoothed out as the staff “pitched in and did yeoman work In this fashion then, did The 1942 Pur¬ gold go to press in the midst of one of the most hectic years in the country’s history. May it serve as a memento, not of the war and suffering of the year, but of the pleas¬ ant hours spent on the campus of Loras a memento of carefree days that vanish all too soon jhi c si ty-scrcu ANTHONY P.

The LORIAN, bi-weekly student publication of Loras College, noted one of its most successful seasons under the guidance of Editor-m-chief An¬ thony P Wagener, Sophomore from Stanley, Wis¬ consin The calendar of the student life at Loras was chronicled for the past scholastic year and was written with such finesse as would do justice to many daily papers. The Sports Department was headed by Paul Mulvehill. a senior from Waterloo, Iowa The Loras athletic world was well covered by his ac¬ curate game accounts coupled with his finished column, ' ‘Sporty Shorts ” Paul was assisted in this rapacity by Tom Freeman, Jack Lewis, and Clair Fiedler Joseph V Ryan worked cn the editorial staff as make-up editor Philip Phillipe, Tom Mulgrew, Richard Tomke, Robert Powers, and John Rout- ledge acted as feature writers for the ensuing year. Lowell Shekleton acted as staff typist, while Pat Gogerty was appointed staff photographer The staff reporters instrumental for the paper’s suc¬ cess were David Parson, Kenneth Schnoebelen, James Wagner, Al Becker, John Randall, Robert Lanaghan, Francis Brady, and James Finucan Miss Elizabeth O’Malley and Miss Joan Cunningham were correspondents from Loras’ affiliant, Mercy Hospital This year the LORIAN served in a new capacity as it was sent to former Loras students now serv¬ ing in the Armed Forces Thus climaxed the eigh¬ teenth year of the LORIAN’S colorful history. page sixty-eight The College Spokesman The literary magazine of Loras College, The College Spokesman, is the oldest con¬ tinuous extra-curricular activity on the campus. This year marked the 39th year of the existence of the organization. The Spokesman is published four times during the year for the students These issues contain essays, short stories, articles, and verse by the students of the various English classes. These are always selected articles, and as a result represent the fin¬ est material obtainable. There are also four other issues of the Spokesman during the year. These are devoted to the interests of the alumni, sup¬ plying them with all the available news of their classmates and friends. After serving as moderator of the Spokesman for seventeen years, the Rev. Dr. I. J Semper relinquished his post this year to Rev. Dr. James J. Donohue. Father Donohue recently received his Doctor of Philosophy degree in English and returned to the campus this fall. He is well fitted for this work for he has done much cre¬ ative writing of his own. Under his guid¬ ance, the issues published this year have been exceptionally well done. The editors of this year’s Spokesman were - James Most, Philip Schacherer, and Philip Philippe.

Vested Choir The Loras College Vested Choir enjoyed one of its most successful seasons this year, the thirty- fourth of its existence. Founded in 1908 by the late Rev Dr Alphonse Dress, the choir has since be¬ come one of the most noted organizations on the campus This year’s choir continued to live up to the reputation of activity and efficiency estab¬ lished by the Vested Choirs of past years. Each Sunday during the school year, the choir, garbed in the strictly liturgical cassock and sur¬ plice. sang for the Solemn High Mass held in St Joseph’s Chapel The Mass each Sunday was broadcast by radio station KDTH of Dubuque The choir a ! so sang the Solemn Requiem High Mass at the funeral of its founder and former director. Rev Dr Alphonse Dress, who died in November as well as for the annual 1 3 Hours’ Devotion on St. Joseph’s Day and Baccalaureate Sunday Also included in this year’s activities was a group of recordings made by the choir, which were broadcast by short¬ wave from Station WLWO, Cincinnati, to the twenty-one Latin American countries on Holy Thursday This was done in connection with a senes of | rograrns sponsored by the Catholic Stu¬ dents ' Mission Crusade of the United States. This year ' s annual concert tour took the choir into various parts of Wisconsin and Illinois, and lasted for eight days, beginning Sunday. April 19 The annual spring concert tours, inaugurated if 1911 by Rev Dr Dress, were discontinued for some years, but have since been revived by the Rev Em met Kelly, director of the choir, who succeeded Rev Dr Dress four years ago The Vested Choir was accompanied on its tour by Dr Edward Eigenschenck, guest teacher at Loras and well-known organist for the American Con¬ servatory of Music. Following its tour, the Loras Vested Choir was host to the fourth annual Iowa Catholic College Music Festival which was held here on May 4. The Vested Choir’s director, Father Kelly, is largely responsible for the founding of this yearly event This year’s choir consisted of forty-five male voices.

Its scope in¬ cludes spiritual and temporal activities placing special emphasis on the former but certainly not to the negation of the latter. During the current scholastic year the Sodality has broadened and entered into various activities Father Leo Jaeger has served his second year as moderator and is un¬ doubtedly responsible for the keen interest shown in the organization The officers for the year were Prefect.

France, generously contributed a large portion of their meager salaries to Bishop Loras in far off America, so that the saint¬ ly founder of Loras College could finance the work of establishing his new-found dio¬ cese of Dubuque Today Loras students are carrying on this tradition by contribut¬ ing shares of their allowances to the Pro¬ pagation of the Faith so that the Catholic Church will increase and spread At the beginning of the scholastic year the Reverend Dr E P Ament college di¬ rector of the Propagation of the Faith appoints several students from each class to act as promoters Their duty is to col¬ lect dues monthly from all members in the college nearly 100 per cent of the student body The efficiency and devotion to duty of these promoters was reflected in the large amount sent to the headquarters as Loras College’s contribution to Christianity in a war-torn world The following students acted as Propa¬ gation of the Faith promoters during the last year Ralph Cormany, James Most, Charles Sanner. William Roach, Joseph Sul¬ livan, Vincent Simon, John Thornton.

Activities undertaken by the or¬ ganization included the delivery of daily and Sunday papers to the student body, the sale of candy and beverages at various ath¬ letic functions throughout the scholastic year, the collecting of old clothes for the poor of a local parish. An outstanding event of the year was the annual Halloween auction sponsored by the C.S.M.C Other works carried on by the group were the maintenance of the Keane Hall Reading Room and the well-stocked pamphlet rack in the Duhawk Arista. Proceeds of all these activities went to the home and foreign missions. The float entered by the Mission Unit in the Homecoming parade received an award of Honorable Mention Two study clubs were organized this year, one on Catholic Rural America, head¬ ed by Bill Roach, and one on Indian Mis¬ sions, conducted by Joe Sullivan Officers of the Loras Unit this year, un¬ der the Reverend Dr E P Ament, mod¬ erator, included Bill Roach, President; Joe Sullivan, Secretary; Frank Cikanek, Librar¬ ian; Ed Niechwiej, Chairman of candy sales, and Paul Liston, Chairman of entertain¬ ment. It is with pride that the Unit points out the fact that the College Chancellor, The Most Reverend Archbishop Beckman, is one of the founders and at present Chairman of the Executive Board of the National C S M. C. Numbered among the members of the Unit during the past year were Fred Bahn- ing, Gerald Blackburn. Peter Bodensteiner, Frank Cikanek, William Conlan, Richard Croker.

Its purpose is to better equip these students to meet the requirements of seminary and sacerdotal life. At the first meeting of the present scholastic year Justin Driscoll was elected President, John Quinn, Vice-President, and Michael Whalen, Sec - Treas. The Rev. Ernest P Ament, Loras spiritual director, is the moderator of the society. Meet¬ ing are held at regular intervals to discuss the business of the society. Something new was added this year when all the members were enrolled in the Confraternity of the Angelic Warfare which spreads devotion to St. Thomas Aquinas. Meditation for the clerics is held nightly for one-half hour under the guidance of Fr Ament. SACRISTANS AND PRAYERLEADERS Top Rou —Bahning. Second Ron —Sullivan, Dunkcl.

Kelly and Solemn Compline, the official night prayer of the Church, is sung each Sunday night in the chapel, and on special occa¬ sions at St Raphael’s Cathedral. The now ' famous Don Bosco Club, comprised of members of the Clerical Society, again this year is doing great work catechizing the youths of St. Patrick’s and Holy Ghost parishes who do not at¬ tend a Catholic school. Besides these and other important functions of the club, spiritual literature is frequently distributed among the members. SACRISTANS One of the most efficient and necessary or¬ ganizations on the Loras campus is the Acolvtical Society. Sacristans, servers, prayer leaders, and or¬ ganists claim membership in this group which assists at all chapel exercises in Keane Hall. Al¬ though originally an organization for clerical stu¬ dents only, the society has since expended to include all students interested in participating in chapel exercises. Sacristans are selected by the moderator of the group, Father Ernest Ament, at the beginning or each year. It is the duty of the sacristans to distribute special prayerbooks and pamphlets to resident stu¬ dents in Keane Hall chapel, and to keep holy water founts and votive stands well supplied. Sacristans are responsible for preparing the altar for Holy Mass and laying out the vestments for the various religious functions that take place in the course of the year. They are responsible for training and appointing servers for duty. Head sacristan this year was Fred Bahning. He was assisted by Lowell Shekleton, Frank Lana, Tony Wagener, and Cy Engler. Student organist in Keane Hall chapel was Leo Sanner. PRAYERLEADERS Last September, as in the previous years, the Rev A J Breen, Dean of Men, appointed four members of the Senior Class to act as prayerlead- ers The group selected this year were Joseph Sullivan (chairman), Paul Liston, Bernie O’Rourke, and Henry Dunkel This group has the responsibility of leading community prayers every morning and evening in the Keane Hall Chapel. Likewise, it is their duty to lead the Angelus before each meal and to read a short quotation from Scripture at the beginning of the meal sci cut x-fil e Yell Masters Ushers This year was no exception in regards to the noble men who worked hard and long in the capacity as cheer leaders. This group under the headship of Berme O’Rourke en¬ deavored to build up a sound school spirit among the student body as a whole. The Yell Masters were present at every sport program held at the college during the past year. Various pep rallies were held under the guidance and enthusiasm of the Yell Masters. It was wholly through the pep, vim, and vitality of these men that the cheering section at athletic programs proved to be such an important factor in winning the various games. Bernie O’Rourke, the senior cheerleader, was given splendid cooperation by the fol¬ lowing Duane Raftis, jack Becker, Vince Powers, Jim Feeney, and Tom Bisenius. Much credit should go to Father Leo Jaeger for his untiring efforts and support in act¬ ing as moderator for the Loras College Yell Masters. The Ushers’ Club, in the second year of its existence as a permanent group, per¬ formed its duties well this year Organ¬ ized last year to relieve the Monogram Club of its work in this line, the group has de¬ veloped into an organization which con¬ tributes a great service to the college. Again this year Rev. Leo Jaeger acted as moderator and directed the ushers in their duties. It is the ushers duty to seat the spectators at the various athletic events held in the stadium and fieldhouse In ad¬ dition they handled the crowds at all other events held on the campus. The current year saw the ushers repre¬ sented at many more functions They con¬ tributed much to the reputation of the col¬ lege by their fine work. In order that the ushers may be easily recognized at all affairs they are dressed in grey trousers, blue coats, and white mili¬ tary hats. Members of this organization are selected at the beginning of each year by the moderator Yellmastfrs —Becker, Bisenius, V. Powers, D. Raftis. Head Cheer¬ leader, Bernie O’Rourke.

Breen, dean of men and founder of the Student Senate, con¬ tinued in his capacity as moderator. This group represents the student body in all matters concerning extra-curricular activities. In this way total cooperation between students and faculty is obtained. This is the principal function of the Senate. Other purposes are: To develop spirit, ideals, and practice of good citizenship; To provide means of management of extra¬ curricular activities, To promote the gen¬ eral welfare of Loras College, To provide means of carrying on relationships with other schools and colleges The presidents of the various classes are automatically made members of the Senate. Two representatives are chosen from each class one a resident student and the other a day student. This year Ralph Cormany. Paul Mulve- hill, and Earl Droessler represented the sen¬ ior class. John McKay, Paul Goodwin, and Paul Tierney were the members elected by the juniors, jack Sensor, James Sullivan, and Gerry Mackin were sophomore mem¬ bers of the Senate, while Tom Carpender, Salvatore Ruffalo. and Frank Kelly repre¬ sented the freshmen Paul Mulvehill was chosen president of the Senate, with Vice-President Jack Sen¬ sor and Secretary-Treasurer Gerry Mackin assisting him with the official duties. I tigc snrnty-sci i n COLLEGE BAND Band Swing Band This year the College Band put on an exten¬ sive drive to perfect itself in every phase Not only did the band reach its objective, but it went even further by working out new routines and Tore novelties This organization represented Loras at home basketball and football games and also at many of the games played away from the campus. The various routines and clever march¬ ing antics exhibited during the halftime periods at the football games showed what a well drilled and disciplined group represented Loras this year. Mr. John Daacon completed his second year as director of the organization. Under his guid¬ ance the band enjoyed a very successful season. Regular rehearsals at which hard work was the rule enabled the group’s repertoire to expand con¬ siderably. One new and pleasing accomplishment w ' as the use of several swing numbers played by the whole band. Well received also were the several outdoor concerts held in the spring Not only students, but also the people of Dubuque living near the campus, enjoyed this music in the early evening The outlook for next year is very promising Most of the members are freshmen and sopho¬ mores, which will enable Director Daacon to get an early start in preparing for the coming season. SWING BAND The group of Loras students, variously known as the “College Swingsters,” the “L C.’s,” or just “The Swing Band, have contributed much to the campus life with their popular music. Perform¬ ing at various functions such as the Christmas Party, the Father Breen Theatre (Room 8-K), the annual Tea Dance at Sinsinawa, and the Cascade High Prom, these ten Loras men became quite a proficient group by the close of the year Its members are particularly proud of the band’s new stands, which make it quite pleasing to the eye as well as to the ear. These were made by the fellows themselves Mgr snni y - - g Members are Gene Curran, pianist, Bill Linn, first sax, John Holtz, second sax, Hugh Cherioli, third sax, Gene Zender, fourth sax, Francis Huss, first trumpet; Frank Conwell, second trumpet; Robert McSweeney, third trumpet; Frank Har¬ rington, trombone, Jim Finucan, drums.

Student Aviators By enrollment time at the beginning of the year, the C P. T. student pilot training had be¬ come a well established course to be offered by the college. This year marked the completion of the sixth and seventh groups in this timely in¬ struction A full group of ten aviators was gradu¬ ated each semester. The Dubuque area is well used to the sound of Taylorcrafts (the light planes in which training is taken! from early in the morning to late after¬ noon Many of the graduates of this course are now taking advanced aeronautics with the various air corps. ing at Loras, relinquished his position as coordin¬ ator to Professor Florian Stork. Professor Stork, a member of the Science Department, filled his new position very well by guiding the seventh course through its training. Assisting the coordinator during both courses were Rev. George Schulte, instructor in naviga¬ tion; Mr. R L. McCaffree. instructor in theory of flight; and Miss R. L. Gibson, instructor of civil air regulations. Mr. McCaffree acted in the ca¬ pacity of supervisor of flight training with Mrs McCaffree doing most of the actual instructing The flight instruction is taken at the Dubuque Municipal Airport. This instruction includes eight hours of dual flights and twenty-seven hours of solo flights. The ground school work is taken at Loras’ Department of Aeronautics. Two hours science credit is given for the course of instruc¬ tion The course includes the history of aviation theory of flight and aircraft, civil air regulations, aircraft engines, meteorology, aerial navigation, and radio.

Wranglers Loras Curia THE WRANGLERS The Wranglers, debating organization of Loras College, again completed a success¬ ful season of debates with mid-western schools The membership increased con¬ siderably this year due to the organization of a freshman squad last year Many de¬ baters graduated from this school of ex¬ perience to the varsity group this year. The directorship of the Wranglers changed hands at the end of the first sem¬ ester The Rev H H Long founded the organization in 1930, and acted as director and coach until he left Loras this year to assume the position as editor of several Catholic magazines. It was under his guid¬ ance that the debating organization has grown and developed to its present high position among the campus clubs. It was also under Father Long’s directorship that Loras College gained recognition among the Eastern and Southern colleges and univer¬ sities for producing fine debating teams. Following the departure of Father Long, Burton McQuIlan, director of publicity and former member of the debating teams un¬ der Father Long, took over the reins of the organization Mr McQuillan was a debater of note while he was enrolled as a student fiagc eighty at Loras (then Columbia) College, and is well equipped with the fundamentals and perfections of debate to lead the group with much success. Due to the unforseen change of directors, the organization was unable to take a trip as has been done in past years. However a schedule of debates with visiting teams and with schools in this section of Iowa was followed. Paul Liston held the post of president Other members include: J. Dunbar. C. Han¬ son, J. Most, T. J. Mulgrew, D. Parson, D. Raftis, J. V. Ryan, P. Schroeder, L. Sharon, L. Skopec, M. Stapleton, J. Thornton, and R. Tomke. LORAS CURIA The Loras Curia dedicated to educational and cultural pursuits was this year under the tutelage of a new Moderator, The Rev. Dr. J. K. Downing, who very ably fills the position vacated by the Rev. Dr. William Schulte, founder and former moderator of the Curia. During the years of its existence the Curia has flourished and has become recog¬ nized as an outstanding organization on the campus and the current year proved no ex¬ ception to the pattern established in the previous years. Every member of the Curia strives for effectiveness as a public speaker and it is because of this aim that at each meeting a great deal of time is spent in the discussion of current events or other matters of interest to the group as a whole. Strict parliamentary procedure is always observed at the meetings which consists of a regular business meeting after which a sub-chairman takes the floor to conduct a program composed of debate, talks, or oth¬ er programs of an informative nature This year a g roup extemporaneous speeches oroved to be an added feature. Likewise 3 quiz program on current events and top¬ ics touched up the variety of programs. It is through these various channels that each member of the Curia is given the oppor¬ tunity to partake in the activities of the organization in an active manner rather than a passive repose. It is also noted that during the course of the year each member is sub-chairman and by this experience be¬ comes acquainted with the parliamentary procedure in conducting a meeting. Officers for the first semester of the current year were: President, Bill Roach, Vice-president, Justin Driscoll; Sec. and Treas., Joe W. Ryan; Sergeant-at-arms, Jack Quinn; and Parliamentarian, Cecil McSweeney. The new officers who were elected in February and will hold office un¬ til the same time next year are Frank Lana, President; Jesse Torres, Vice-presi¬ dent; Larry Sharon, Sec and Treas. The post of Sergeant-at-arms and Parliamentar¬ ian remain the same for the entire year These later two posts are appointed offices made at the beginning of each scholastic year. v .tjr eighty-one Delta Sigma A new organization began on the Loras campus last fall. It is composed of the day students of the college. This organ¬ ization was much needed to create inter¬ est and enthusiasm among the city stu¬ dents. The resident students always have had their various clubs and groups, but un¬ til this vea r the day students have been lacking an organization to unite them. Fin¬ ally, under the guidance of Rev. Loras Lane, such a club was established. The first year was an active one for the organization. Besides having several meet¬ ings, two smokers, and a skating party, the climax was the dance put on by the group This proved to be very informal with as many tricks as were possible being played on those present The title for this night of fun signifies just what it was “The Kickapoo Stomp.” The growth and activity of this organiza¬ tion in its first year is the most surpris¬ ing thing about it Begun after the school year had started, it is now a well organized group with a bright outlook for next year The administration of Delta Sigma is in the hands of an executive committee com¬ posed of three men. The committee mem¬ bers this year were George J Andresen, Robert Lanagahan, and Hugh McCaffrey, all seniors. Hugh McCaffrey George J. Andresen Robert Lanagahan LOR ADI ANS Top Rou —Schmidt, A.

The Rev. George N Schulte continued in his capacity as faculty chairman for the radio series The aims of the Voice of Loras programs were M ) to gain publicity for the college by presenting interesting and entertaining programs; (2) to give those interested in radio work an opportunity to obtain practical experience Jim Most continued in his capacity as “Faculty Finder interviewing the faculty members on top¬ ics pertaining to their respective departments Dr Edward Eigenschenck was presented several times in organ recitals One of the traditional forensic events on the ras campus is the annual oratorical contest uch was held this spring for the thirty-eighth ar First place was taken by Thomas Carpender, ibuque. a member of the freshman class.

It attempts to surpass all previous oroms in decorations, orchestra, bids and pro¬ grams, and general atmosphere. The president of the senior class. Ralph Ccr- many, held the post of general committee chair¬ man John Thornton was in charge of the sale of invitations. Paul Mulvehill handled the orchestra and succeeded in obtaining the services of Val Grayson and his orchestra. Chaperones, publicity, and decorations were handled by John Routledge, Anthony Wagener, and Bernie Baltes respectively Paul Liston acted as the dance treasurer. Again this year one of the most active clubs on the campus was the decorations committee. The Rev. A. J. Breen continued as moderator of this group and succeeded in keeping the organization at the high standard set in past years These loyal Loras men donate their time and energy to provide decorations for all social events conducted on the campus. Their work is to dress- up the fieldhouse for the dances held during the scholastic year. All those students who attend the various dances held during the year realize what an addi¬ tion the organization makes to the enjoyment of these evenings. Too much can’t be said for this faithful group. Joe Rigney was the chairman of the committee until he left school to serve his country Heading the committee in its work for the Senior Prom was Bernie Baltes. PROM COMMITTEE Tofi —Cormany.

S- Lord Throgmorton (Richard Grotty) and Lord Burghley (Gerald Blackburn) report to Queen 1 li abeth (Eleanor Powers) on the progress of their schemes to d ethrone Mary Stuart in Scotland. —Violence breaks into the open. Bothwell returns from exile to take up arms for Mary with whom he has been in love since her arrival in Scotland. The forces of Bothwell and the Queen are defeated and in parley the Earl agrees to return to exile to save Mary’s throne. 7— The Earl of Bothwell bids the young queen farewell as he goes off to exile and she to the protective custody” of Queen Elizabeth. K—Mary is brought to a prison cell in London and I lizabeth’s mask of friendliness anishes. Mary refuses to sign an abdication anti is put to death by I li abeth. Mary of Scot¬ land dies happy at the thought that her son will someday rule both Scotland and England. Ora ma LADIES IN RETIREMENT: 1—Albert Feather (James Waring), young cockney bank clerk, visits the home of Leonora I iske (Lillian McDonnell) to borrow some money. 2—Louisa and Emily Creed (Marian Pancratz and Jeanne Wiedner) have come to visit their sister, Ellen Creed (Eleanor Powers) who keeps house for Miss Eiske.

B— Becket refuses to yield to pressure and sanction the actions of the English king and is accused of treason by four of the king’s knights (Robert Kalb, James Waring. David Parson, Anthoin Juliano). C—Becket still refuses to yield and is murdered in his cathedral. D—The women of Canterbury, in Cireek chorus fashion, mourn the death ot the Bishop. Drama Lights, scene, action and the Loras Players That is a formula, and a very successful one it turned out to be during the year past. For the L.oras Players, in the second year of their direction under the Rev. Karl G. Schroeder, shouldered a Herculean program of four major productions—a record for the Loras stage—and gave a good ac¬ count of themselves. This 1941 -42 effort was dif¬ ferent from past tradition inasmuch as two lec¬ tures by famous people were coupled with the Dramatic productions to form a Drama and Lec¬ ture Series. In October the stage was set for the Broadway hit, Ladies in Retirement.” The main perform¬ ance was given Sunday, October 26, and found James Waring (Albert Feather) playing the male role opposite the two senile hags, Louisa Creed (Marian Pancratz) and Emily Creed (Jeanne Wied- ner) ; Lillian McDonnell gave a convincing per¬ formance as Eleanora Fiske while Eleanor Powers was very effective in the role of Ellen Creed. On Thursday evening, October 20, the Rev. M. C D’Arcy, of London, England, lectured on condi¬ tions in his bomb-splintered country. High spot of the year’s program came January 30, 31, and February ], when the Loras Players were hosts to the first Midwest Convention of the National Catholic Theatre Conference. As a fea¬ ture of this convention the second Dramatic effort of the season, “Mary Queen of Scotland,” was pre¬ sented before the delegates The play, itself con¬ sidered by many a venture too risky for college production, was a masterpiece of fine acting, beautiful sets and lighting Although every actor was deserving of high praise for the skill in which he portrayed his character, outstanding were James Waring as the Earl of Bothwell. the impetuous lover of Mary, Anthony Juliano as David Rizzio, Mary’s effeminate secretary; Robert Kalb, the fire and brimstone John Knox: John Reed, the crafty Lord Maitland Among the women worthy of praise were Jeanne Wiedner, the virtuous Queen Mary, and Eleanor Powers as the scheming Queen Elizabeth. On February 26, Helen C. White, internation¬ ally known author, filled the second lecture spot in the Drama and Lecture series. Miss White ' s informal speech about her experience in writing novels proved her ability to hold an interested audience. The third Drama presentation on the theatre¬ goer’s menu for the year was “Murder In The Cathedral,” T. S. Elliot’s poetic historical drama. Devoid of scenery, Creek in a certain sense in form, and employing the modern device of direct audience appeal, the play demanded the effort of each actor to the straining point. In spite of every difficulty in staging, a spectacle of beautiful light¬ ing, even better than “Mary of Scotland,” fine acting, and skillful technique greeted the eye of the audience on March 15. Commended highly for their masterful performance were John Reed, who portrayed the part of the saintly Thomas a Becket, Robert Kalb, Anthony Juliano, James War¬ ing and David Parsons who played dual roles as Tempters and Soldiers, and who teamed up at times throughout the play to form a very effective quartet which helped the chorus maintain the mood. The final offering of the current season was “Mr. and Mrs North,” a mystery comedy. It was in direct contrast to the more serious type of drama presented earlier in the season The title roles of Mr. and Mrs. North were handled by James Waring and Eileen McQuillen, respectively. The play was well received by an enthusiastic audi¬ ence and had perhaps a greater appeal to the audience from the standpoint of pure entertain¬ ment than had the earlier more serious offerings page eighty-eight Toh Ron —Cormany, Driscoll, Fox, Liston, Mulvelnll.

Ryan Gridiron Editor The Gridiron, a football program distributed at all Loras home football games, was edited this year by Joseph V. Ryan and pub¬ lished by the Loras Press Bureau. The Gridiron always featured many interesting cuts and important game data Other features contained in it were complete squad rosters, action shots, biogra¬ phies, sporty cartoons, game sidelights, cuts of the game service personnel, and unusual game sidelights. Then too, each issue contained a review of the previous grid rivalry and a summary of all forerunning scores. Little Flower Society Devotion to the Little Flower of Jesus, St. Therese of Lisieux, has not only been a tradition on the Loras campus but this year it has even increased Special devotions to the Little Flower have taken place at various intervals since the erection of a statue in her honor in Keane Hall Chapel. This is especially fitting since the Little Flower is the Patroness of Vocations The aim of the Society is to foster special devotion of St Therese of Lisieux, to secure her aid and help in the selection of a proper vocation to life, to beg her intercession for anyone who has recourse to her assistance, and lastly, but by no means the least of the objectives of the organization, is to provide still greater reverence to the Lit He Flower through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Membership to this small but mighty group on the campus is open not only to the student body but also to the faculty of the college Paul F. Liston President , Little Flourr Society The work of the society is not manifest in tem¬ poral activities but rather in the response of the students who have pursued special supplication to one of the greatest and brightest stars in the galaxy of the saints of God The credit for the great amount of good and the success of the or¬ ganization is due entirely to the competent guid¬ ing influence and enthusiasm which Father Breen has shown in the capacity of moderator Father Breen has been the moderator of this society since its founding in 1930. The first project of the group was to erect a statue in honor of the Little Flower. This was blessed by Bishop Kucera of Lincoln, Nebr. Paul Liston served as chairman of the society, William Kostellic as vice-chairman; Duane Raftis as secretary; Leo Lidd as treasurer; and Irving Raftis as custodian for the current year Other members of the group included Matthew Molinaro, Michael Whalen, Leo Skopec, Francis Skopec, Rob¬ ert Rubner, Kenneth Schnoebelen. Robert Kalb, Vincent Simon, John Reed. William Conlin, Phil Philippe, Joe Griffin, Gerald White, and Bernard Pierick. I tige ninety -one Delta Epsilon Sigma Awarded one of the highest honors a Lorasman can achieve were six students and three faculty members who were named to membership in Delta Epsilon Sigma, na¬ tional Catholic honor society, this year All student nominees were chosen from the senior class.

The Rev. Dr. George N Schulte, the Rev Dr James J Donohue, and the Rev. Dr Fran¬ cis J. Houlahan were the faculty members chosen. The six student selections were made upon recommendation of the faculty members, while the faculty selections were made by a general faculty vote. Members of the faculty chosen as the Loras candidates in this honor society were picked in recognition of their outstanding contributions in the field of Arts and Let¬ ters. Loras student electees were named upon their scholastic, and extra-curricular leadership In the recent election of officers in the Alpha Chapter of this Catholic honor so¬ ciety, the Very Rev M J Martin, LL D, was chosen president, succeeding the Rev I J Semper, Litt D , who held this office for the past two years The Rev M M Hoffmann, Litt D , at present a lieutenant - colonel at Fort McDowell, San Francisco, was re-elected vice-president, while the Rev Francis J Houlahan, Ph D , was named sec retary-treasurer Baltes Kintzinger Bahning Ken ny Most The Delta Epsilon Sigma was originated three years ago by the Rev.

Work on The Purgold was indeed an experience not to be for¬ gotten for many a year. It had its moments of both pleasure and pain, but in the end looking at the book on the press the pleasure wells up high, and the hours of hard work slip into the background. It was both a pleasure and an honor to edit this annual. May all of you receive it kindly. The school year of 1941-42 was indeed a memorable one. For in that year a change came into the old way of life as America plunged into war. Many Loras students and alumni are serving in the armed forces and many more will serve before the war is over. Their lives have been changed just as have the lives of all Americans. The P urgold was no exception to change either. An attempt has been made to publish this volume on a reduced budget in order that less money shall be diverted from the war effort. While the quantity has been cut by a dozen pages, it is our hope that the quality re¬ mains unchanged. I should like to thank the hardworking members of The Purgold staff for their services, which were absolutely invaluable during the past year. Reductions in The Purgold staff brought the final number to eleven members besides the editor, and all eleven have earned their positions by sheer hard work. Thus, then, ends The 1942 Purgold. May it revive in future years pleasant memories of the year just passed. JOHN R. ROUTLEDCE, Editor-in-chief. Sincerely, I ! I I i ' --
