JV K do: on Signs of life, lots of noise, action, fun, foolishness, Wefus. O ■m Row— McNichols, Lepoie, Hank, P Wef«S Club. The Wefus. the peppiest, noisiest and most school-spirited or- ganization on the campus, made its brilliant hut perhaps ungraceful debut this year. Though first misunderstood in its purpose and actions, the club, through its manifold activities and remarkable successes, has at last gained the favor of the student body. It has, moreover, been officially sanctioned and recognized. The Wefus Club has. by means of its undefeated, world-challenging softball team, raised that sport to its present popular standing on the campus. The Wefus. aided by the noble and self- sacrificing Frank Sullivan, swept their student presidential candidate, Johnny Harris, into that office. It is an organization of the cream of the crop, with plenty of fight, love for a battle, and admiration of courage; with a heart that belongs to Regis, and a spirit reminiscent of that of the old Rangers. The members of the club are amongst the leaders in every field of Regis activity. Wefuses of the first order are: Bus Lepore. Tess Weber, Steve McNichols, Marco Hog-hair Dunn, Peg-leg the Moaner Hauk, and Bird Hasting. The other Wefuses who comprise this illustrious group are: Paul Schmitz, Jack Meehan. President Harris, and Chink-food Rice. These men have resolved to awaken the latent love of school in every Regis man, and to start a revivification of that traditional Regis Ranger spirit.

b Coffee Club convenes for first meeting. Elect officers, have a discussion and then — food. Top Row -A. Cassidy, F. Sullivan. Bottom Row— A. Musser, Mr. Masse, S.J., M. Hasting, M. Milan. Coffee Drinkers. The club, organized in September of 1932 by Father Masse, head of the English department, is composed of a selected group of Regis men interested in literature and with the ambition to become familiar with the vast store- house of Catholic literature, so as to better understand the problems and expectations of a cultured Catholic leader. The Coffee Drinkers meet bi-monthly, every second Saturday, at the home of one of the scribblers, where some important literary phase or personage is discussed. The benefits derived from the club by the embryonic Sam Johnsons from both the viewpoint of closer contact with the masters, and from the valuable experience and knowledge attained by the frank and constructive criticism of their own endeavors, are best shown in the high calibre of their efforts in the Literary Supplement of the Brown and Gold. The members of the Coffee Club were the foremost contributors to this organ of Regis literary aspirations, and from the tenor and quality of their contributions they have profited abundantly from Father Masse ' s interest in ambitious Regis Collegian litterateurs. Mr. Kranz was dictator of the club this past year and acquitted himself as mar- velously in his own circle as Sam Johnson did in his own coffee circle. Father Masse, sponsor of the club and a prominent Catholic litterateur, has done much for both the students in the club and for American Catholicism in general by encouraging the organization.

Baseball. Rangers knock off their first victim and are off on flying start. P t: ■ n I It te a JL Row Ryan, Pa Oaseball. With spring comes the call of the birds (mocking, cuckoo, hum- ming, etc.), the call of the wild, the call of the streams, the calls of fever (spring. hay, love) and the call of the bat. This year when co-coaches Wilson and Chilero called for ball-players, four veterans and eight hopefuls answered the shout. The reasons why there were not more out for the team were the inconveniences of labor- atory, or something else. But what they lacked in numbers they made up in pep. All went well in spring practice, but with the opening of the season proper, misfor- tune camped on the bags. Old Man Tough Luck tapped four of the Rangers for his fraternity, two of them quite lustily. Georgia 1 Sutherland broke a finger, but was immediately outdone by Lammerman who broke his arm. Both Harris and Reinert severely sprained their ankles, Johnny doing the better job. But when the Rangers really began to play ball, they meant it. They have only lost two games, both of them heart-breakers. They vanquished Cathedral in their first game, 13 to 3. Their next game with North High, ended in a 2-2 tie. the game being called because of a severe dust-storm. The next two encounters were unfor- tunate for the collegians as they dropped them to the Barr Lumber Co. and to Welby. Colorado. They began their conquests anew with a defeat of the St. Dominic ' s Club of the Holy Name League in a last-inning thriller. Since then, they have not lost a game. The scores of the other contests were: Regis 5. Regis High 3; Regis 13, Holy Family 3; Regis 12. Regis High 3; Regis 12, Parochial All-Stars 8; Regis 14, Barnum Boosters 9; Regis 13, Welby 2.
