Because of a rich significance, the DOME in its Silver Anniversary, goes back, for its theme, to the early story of that nation. «««This significance will not, we hope, be attributed to the absurdity that Notre Dame is an Irish School . Boys of German, Scotch, Mexican, French and Indian ancestry have given Notre Dame her character,— a cos- mopolitan one. We are thankful for that,- racial or sectional bias is a weak excuse for true love of country. Notre Dame, however, we like to believe, has had that bold independence of mind ,that curiosity and activ- ity , and above all, that vigourof thought ' that Cardinal Newman has named as the characteristics of the Irish race. «««Our theme and sub-theme, therefore, go deeper Y ' than the football headlines,- they symbolize rather well the splendid tradition that has been Notre Dame ' s. The theme pages depict Irish life about the time of the fifth century. The sub-theme is an excursion into the realm of elves and leprecauns. s ii:Q m m W 5 WWW-iS W ' t i t EDICATION ....lb those MEN of NOTRE -DAME who have expreised the RISH COURAGEw A.

As the years pass, these move- ments will be recalled. More vivid even than these will be the memory of the eager contact between man and man,— and the gradual opening of the eyes, the mind and the heart to the world that lies beyond the shadow of the Dome.

Since last year the board has been deprived by death of one of its most prominent members — WiUiam P. Breen, donor of the Breen Oratorical Medal and the chair of Public Speaking. In addition to the lay members of the board are: the Reverend James Burns, C.S.C., Provincial of the Congregation of the Holy Cross; the Very Reverend Charles L.

I JAMES ARMSTRONG Secretary Alumni Association The mind has a thousand eyes The Heart hut one . . . Notre Dame engineers are in Russia. Notre Dame bankers are in Shanghai. Notre Dame business men are in Mexico. Notre Dame journahsts are in Paris. Notre Dame priests are in India. Through a thousand eyes these men look across seas and mountains to the campus of Our Lady. Academically, the University is Argos ' eyed, meeting in thought the approaches of these many minds. But it is the heart of Notre Dame that looks most penetratingly into the alumni world. And it is, after and above all, the hearts of Notre Dame alumni that look back in unified admiration to Notre Dame. That transcendent unity among alumni which began on the campus, and which is called Notre Dame spirit finds its nourishment, not in mathematics or in medicine, in theology or in law, but in the more spiritual qualities of the Catholicity and friendships of the campus. The light of a whole life dies When love is done.

Dean College of Arts and Letters The College of Arts and Letters is at once everybody ' s college and nobody ' s college. It has something for everybody, something which only its broad view and varied curriculum can supply. But it has nothing for anybody interested merely in a restricted and severely limited aspect of reality. The liberal college undertakes to develop not merely a cultured mind, but a mind of varied culture, a mind acquainted with and, to a de ' gree, famihar with and able to appreciate the best that has been produced in every field of human endeavor. It is, as Newman so well describes it, a place in which the student apprehends the great outlines of knowledge, the principles on which it rests, the scale of its parts, its lights and its shad ' ows, its great points and its little, as he otherwise cannot apprehend them. Hence it is that his education is called ' Liberal. ' And in this fact is found at once its sufficient justification and its most essential aim. — Rev. Charles C. Miltner, C.S.C. Page 26 m    fOG o ' M TH£ DOME OF 1931 REV. THOMAS A. STEINER, C.S.C. Dean College oF Engineering The oldest Catholic engineering college in the country is the claim of the College of Engineering, established as a separate department here in 1897. The programs offered in the college are arranged to give the student a knowledge of the fundamental facts and principles required in engineer ' ing work, with as much attention as possible to those cultural subjects which help to equip the graduate for the duties of a broadly trained execu- tive. Laboratory work and field excursions give a certain amount of prac tice in the application of theoretical institution to actual physical condi ' tions. These conditions are made to correspond as closely as possible to the real work of the engineer. The college offers programs of study lead ' ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mining Engineering, Chemical Engi ' neering, and Bachelor of Architecture. ' Page 27 C ' %y( TH£ DO ME OF 19 3 1 yO K REV. FRANCIS WENNINGER, C.S.C. Dean College oF Science The College of Science is one of the five colleges of the University of Notre Dame and as such, has the same ideals and purposes, indeed, the same right to existence as the University herself. These ideals are educa ' tional, moral and religious, and should not, at this late date in the existence of the college, want restatement. The purpose of the college is to give young men the best possible preparation for life. The prcmedical courses have the largest enrollment but the faculty of the college have never been impressed by mere numbers. All the students are expected to master not only those subjects which make up their particular course of studies but must also show a practical knowledge and appreciation of literature and philosophy which are essential to the cultured Christian gentlemen. — Rev. Francis Wenninger, C.S.C. m    m THe. DOME OF 1931 THOMAS KONOP Dean College o( Law Law is a progressive rather than an exact science. The study of law is not limited to the learning of fixed rules. The purpose of a law school is to train the mind to comprehend the development of the principles of law and to apply them to contemporary conduct. The practice of law is not a business for profit, nor an occupation to exact fees from society for clever advice. It is a profession with responsibilities to the public. It is a public trust and the lawyer is a pubhc servant. As a lawmaker, the lawyer ' s duty is to make the laws just. As a judge and advocate, his duty is to see that the law is properly administered. Now, you Notre Dame lawyer! The $400,000 law building does not make the law school. The builders will have built in vain unless within its walls the 1 50 young men learn to appreciate the duties and responsibilities of a lawyer. Unless the Notre Dame Law School sends forth legal think ' ers, honest legal advisers, true lawmakers, and efficient lawadministrators, it will have failed to fulfill its mission. I plead! Go forth as a Notre Dame man imbued with the Notre Dame spirit; carry to the ranks of the profes ' sion Her teachings and Her ideals: and thus reflect credit upon your Alma Mater as well as yourself. —Thomas F. Konop. I j ; t i. V ' . k. ' Page 29 THE DOIME OF 1931 JAMES McCarthy Dean College of Commerce It seems to me that the students in the College of Commerce at Notre Dame have adopted a new point of view towards the management of busi- ness problems, particularly because the errors of the current leaders of busi ' ness have been forcibly impressed upon them. They have successively witnessed the deflation of the stock market; the retarding of industrial production; the lack of leadership in political life, and consequently they are looking to themselves to supply that which is necessary to create a more stable business machine; to elevate political mor ' ality to a higher plane, and to conduct business successfully on more simple and humanitarian grounds. I look to the graduates of this year ' s class to lead the way in supplying American Business and American public life with its prospective leaders. — James McCarthy. Page 30 0 0 ;0 0 T H £ DOM£ OF 19 3 1 i I Gilbert Keith Chesterton receivintf the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. The presentation is being made by Very Rev. Charles L. O ' Donnell, C.S.C. Gilbert K. Chesterton November the fifteenth, 1930, marked the first time in the history of the University that a special convocation of the faculty had been called to participate in the conferring of a degree. Gilbert Keith Chesterton, the greatest living exponent of Catholic thought in the English-speaking world, became Gilbert Keith Chesterton, LL.D., ' 30. Poet, critic, essayist, novelist, economist, and sociologist, he added another achievement to his already brilliant career, and in doing so, honored Notre Dame. At the time of the conferring of the degree. Dr. Chesterton was the guest of the Uni ' versity, where he was delivering a series of thirtysix lectures on the Literature and His- tory of the Victorian Period. His lectures were thoroughly indicative of his brilliance and native good humor. It was a singular honor for Notre Dame to present such facilities for educational activity to its student body. Not only was the University pleased with its guest, but Dr. Chesterton was vividly impressed with Notre Dame. In speaking of the University, he said: It would take me several essays to describe all my thoughts and feelings concerning Notre Dame. It surprised me to find in the very heart of the United States, where most people would never think of looking for such an institution, a great Catholic school. It amazes me to find that Notre Dame ' s name should be wafted to the ends of the earth and continue to be a great centre of religious and intellectual activity. Page 31 T H E.

' THE D O M E OF 193 1 mmm i I The Halls of Notre Dame Austin Boyle, humorist and Shakespearean actor, contributes here, — after persu- asion lasting over a period of several months, — an informal essay on those tangible intangibles that make life worth Orientation classes. Of the halls, and the men in the halls, Austy is well qualified to sing; he has migrated about the desks of communis- tic Brownson; he has broken bread with the dillettantes of Morrissey. Now, he lives in Walsh and likes it. Most people do. J The halls. The Notre Dame spirit. Somehow the two have become identical. The Notre Dame spirit is a living one. The men who embody it spend the greater part of their lives while at Notre Dame in her residence halls. The rites of sleep, study, prayer, bridge, and the inevitable bull session are in them duly performed. And in the performance the young men of the old school gain not the least part of that education which Notre Dame so generously provides her sons. Styles in architecture have changed. But the old hall spirit remains. The towers, high ceilings, and wide corridors of sturdy old Sorin are not duplicated in Lyons. And inhabitants of the latter abode are not currently featuring the turtle-neck sweaters, peg- top trousers, and walrus mustaches which the earlier Sorinites sported. But the feeling of democracy and comradeship still pervades the campus, amazing though the growth of the university has been in recent years. First, in point of time, is staid Sorin, oldest Catholic college residential hall in the United States. It has the most popular porch and chapel on the campus. Father O ' Hara and the pamphlet rack hold forth in Sorin. They are responsible for the overrunning of the hall by freshman, but the Sorinites don ' t mind. And, of course, there is Sorin ' s famous sub. Corby has a sub, too. In the old days its denizens waged a deadly feud with the inmates of Sorin. Their interhall football games approached the intensity of massacres. That is past now. Under the regime of its checker-playing rector, Corby has achieved a detached serenity, an ancient aloofness. It is quiet now . . . but not too quiet. Badin . . . formerly St. Joseph ' s . . . high steps . . . broad porch . . . good fellows. Walsh ... the 1910 Gold Coast . . . Stately . . . ample . . . huge wash-bowls . . . bowl- ing and billiards . . . the pines in front . . . Father James Ryan. St. Edward ' s . . . old castle of the minims . . . white walls inside . . . high ceilings. Lyons . . . far-flung outpost of the new Gold Coast ... the view through the arch . . . the sunken chapel. Morrissey . . . the largest of the halls . . . once the retreat of scholars . . . the Little Flower chapel. Howard . . Sophomore Freshman . roommates. Carroll ... hers to remember. Brownson . . . great fun ... for a year the dome ... a rec with a radio. Notre Dame men speak with pride and affection of the fellows out at school. These are the men bred in the residence halls. Let Villagers fume and Day-dogs growl, but the real Notre Dame man is he who has endured that unbeatable system of rectors, prefects, and ten o ' clock checks during four years of life on the campus. . another archway . . . freshmen . . . good kids . . . but still freshmen. . . . stucco . . . the balcony. . . the barracks . . . like Sophomore, still temporary . . .

Sori onn Sarin ' s hall, and Sarins men: Four ' towered fortress oj the old, Tradition s cradle, in whose hold The old is marble, the new is clay To ma e into a stronger mold. Page 144 H DOM£ OF 1931 y O : : Longfellow ' s Sorin This is the hall of tradition, — pagoda revered by the seniors; Sacred with fame, and with storied lore: in the heart of the campus Stands like a castle of old, with turrets tall and symbolic; Stands like a sentinel grim, erect, austere, and for- bidding. Gracing its spacious veranda, the highest of all upper ' classmen Speak, and though quite condescendingly, answer the hail of the freshmen. This is the hall christened Sorin ; whose charm rests alone in tradition; Built like a fort that ' s designed to remain through the ages. Deep in its pipe-lined subway, removed from the world of distractions Live the heroes of gridiron battles, now cloistered, in deep pursuit of more knowledge. REV. JOHN FARLEY, C.S.C. Rector Page 14 J Badin Hall Named for Rev. Theodore Badin Badi in Badin Hall, where once the line Of hunger formed three times a day; Gone the caf, the rec ' gave way To rooms and rooms and rooms — But those steep steps — they ' ll always stay. T H £ DOME O F 1 9 3 1 y Poe Comes to Badin Once upon an evening dreary, while I studied, weak and weary. Seated lazily on a rocker in my room in Badin Hall, As I labored, eyelids hanging, suddenly there came a banging As of someone gently banging, banging at my chamber wall. ■ Tis some merry sap!

Page 160 t . mm X TH£ DOME OF 1931 Apostrophe to Sophs One score and three years ago, our forefathers built upon the outer fringe of this campus a new dormitory (comparatively), conceived from a pile of lumber, and dedicated to the proposition that Notre Dame men took what they got (liked it . . . and came back for more) . Now, we are met here to consider how a hall, so constituted, has so long endured. It (not the hall) is more or less fitting that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot desecrate, we cannot dilapidate this structure. Those shell- shocked carpenters, living and dead, who got here before us, have desecrated it far beyond our poor power to add or subtract. Visitors will little note, j gy nor long remember, what we say here, but they shall never forget what they see here. It is for us, the victims, rather to be doomed, interred, here in this pile of lumber which they who labored here have thus far so wierdly constructed. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining yet before us — that from those dishonoured dead we take increased repellance to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of fiendish ingenuity. Therefore, let us highly resolve that those crazy craftsmen have not lived in vain, that this residence of the Sophomores, by the Sophomores, and for the Sophomores, shall never perish from the campus memory.

DOME Of 1931 . .: I Caesar s Carroll Hall Carroll, as a whole, is divided into three parts, one of which is inhabited by freshmen, the other by freshmen, and the third by those who in their own language are called freshmen, and in our Ian ' guage: Freshmen. These freshmen differ from one another both in language and in customs. First, we have the lean farmer from loway whose dormi ' tory window rises in proportion as the tempera- ture decreases, much to the edification and all ' around comfort of the youth from N ' wahleans. Living in ever-close proximity of the former is the suave l ewTaw ah, whose peculiar custom it is to wear his dainty lounge robe in the study hall after every evening repast. Such a diversified conglom- eration of adolescents should be separated from one another by at least plaster walls. As it is, however, they are removed from one another by sheer atmosphere in the daytime; and when Father Jove draws the shades of night around these fevered, frenzied, frantic factions, they are separated only by a sheet. The inhabitants are oftimes bellicose. When their chieftain is absent they indulge in warfare. This warfare i unique because of the topography of their country, unob ' structed and flat. Orange peels are hurled by force of youthful, muscular arms. Paper balls, ineffective at best, are sometimes flung afar across the wide expanse. BROTHER MAURILIUS, Rector C.S.C.

And there are those who have answered, They play football, of course. For both classes of people these pages are written. That the intrinsic quality of our publications, dances and clubs has suffered because of the gridiron publicity, the Dome doubts. But there is no question that the reputation of these things has suffered. That slice of the American public that sees no excuse for the existence of anything besides a brilliant coach and a powerful team is convinced that: a.) All J otre Dame men play football. h.) Most good players come to ? otre Dame. c.) The varsity men are campus gods. It is an injustice to everyone — 3,000 men would constitute an unwieldly unit on any field in the country; Rock is too clever a strategist to use that many. And as to all good players coming to Notre Dame — well, we missed Grange and Oliphant and Oberla nder and Cagle and a few others who would have filled in well on the shock ' troops. The var ' sity men are far from gods: the Dome knows one first ' String man to talk to, and it is ru ' mored that Carideo once bummed a match from a freshman in front of Science Hall. That sort of talk is extremely boring, and the Dome for one would like to get a shave in the home town once without being qui2;2;ed on Rockne ' s chances for the fol ' lowing fall. There are other things at Notre Dame. And every one who has ever attended a class here knows it. There are halls where conversation is a ritual. There are classes where the professors are deep and profound, as well as equally worthy classes where they are amusing and clever. There are many things that the sport-writers never dreamed of, and wouldn ' t have understood if they had. Specifically, this section deals with that group of activities: publications, debate, dances, clubs, theater, music and honorary societies. On the campus, these lines of endeavor are reverently alluded to as rackets. What is your racket at Notre Dame? There are a hundred answers. You may blush prettily and say that you write funny things for the Juggler. Most outsiders know about the Juggler. Or you may reply in a booming bass that you contribute to Scrip: you are a literateur. In the eyes of the cam- pus wits, you thus acquire a certain halo of aesthetics. You are expected to wear a flow ing tie and uncut hair. As a matter of fact, the board of Scrip is as virile as Rockne ' s backfield. And twice as imaginative. There is no compulsion in regard to these activities. One doesn ' t come here on a scholarship from one ' s high school, where one edited one ' s school paper, with the assur- ance that in four years one will do precisely the same thing here. The thing simply isn ' t done. You come here and if you want to, and if those who are in now want you, you may go just as far as you like. Men join the Scholastic staff in their freshman year, run errands under an erratic crank for a year, conduct a colyum in their sophomore term, Page 171 c c .o .o 3HZZEEE!E become managing editor next and eventually evolve into an editor-in-chief. No one pre- destined you. You were not. picked until the third year when the Board of Publications looked over several suitable men to fill the shoes and hat of the graduating editor. Politics are amusing and when taken seriously, are even more amusing. Brownson and Carroll Halls shake hands, elect candidates, trim Howard and Freshman, and battle for the rest of their careers over the division of the spoils. That is, the politicians do. They are a clever crowd, nauseating enough at times, but strangely enough, good men are frequently elected. The honor of offices attracts good men. The knowledge that the class president has to appoint 60 or 70 sycophants to form his dance committee doesn ' t detract from the enjoyment of the cigarettes and cigars you garnered during the campaign. Exercising a polite hand over it all is the Students ' Activities Council, a crowd of good fellows whose chief duties are to attend dances and meetings. They do not seri ' ously represent the student ' body for which the students are duly grateful. And while on the topic of dances, allow us, please, to digress. Notre Dame ' s for- mal class dances are charming affairs. As has been said, their charm lies in their few- ness. The atmosphere attendant upon the Prom, for example, is distinctive. One feels the time coming on — and ticket sales, bait-letters, outdoor music puWicity and tux to sell signs are helpful. Many import, as the campus phrase goes, and it is a pleasure to show guests Notre Dame at its cleverest and best. A splendid element in the week- end, the Morrissey chapel Mass and the Communion Breakfast, was taken from the pro- gram this year and the Dome regrets it. Notre Dame is under obligation to show its guests every courtesy. Any attempt to weaken these courtesies should be resented. The theater movement is resting more comfortably, thank you, after a relapse suffered at the hands of the Scholastic dramatic experts. Twelfth Night and Merchant of Venice have been produced this year. The former was fairly well received, although the Scholastic ' s comment that the lines were not learned was sadly enough true. Mer- chant of Venice was better. The student-written-directed-and-produced movement, at one time alive here, has fared badly of late years. In music, there is a well organized field of activity. The Glee Club and Joe Casasanta are as stimulating as the grid team and Rockne. Their concert tours and their campus programs are good. The Dome is proud of the fact and regrets only that on their Easter trip, it ' s hard to follow them. The Jugglers, if heard more, would be better received; and if better received, would be heard more. Their music is enjoyable, and their leader, Al Stewart, is engaging. The band is a good marching unit, and is just the sort of organization that lifts pep- meetings out of the ho-hum, another speech! class. The symphony orchestra, a new group formed this year, under the direction of Mr. Siedell, is well trained. The debaters, — well, they encounter important teams, and they win, and what more can be asked? Father Boland ' s boys are noted for their thoroughness, their power and their eloquence. We started out to be critical, but the heart of the Dome is essentially a mellow piece of plasm, and we ' ve become rather benign. We hope it wasn ' t patronizing. There is no need for it. The University ' s institutions are not good because they exist; they exist be- cause they are good. Page 172 0 « t UBLICATION5 THE DOME Oi= 1931 RUFUS W. RAUCH Chairman of the Board of Publications Mr. Rauch, professor of English, was appointed chair- man of the board in December. His intelligent handling of publication difficulties has made the editing a progres- sive, always formative work. His interest in student publications began with personal experience while at Columbia College, Dubuque, Iowa, where he was editor of the Spo esman, the literary quar- terly. Associate members of the board are: Rev. James Con- nerton, C.S.C., who is advisor to the Juggler; and Rev. James H. McDonald, C.S.C., who is advisor to Scrip. The Dome here expresses appreciation to Mr. Rauch for the interest and co-operation he has shown toward this publication. Publications at Myron E. Crawford, contributor of this treatise on Notre Dame ' s printed pages, is a versatile fellow. He is a track man, a Clevelander, a corsage- salesman, a newspaper man, and a medical student. We would nominate him for fame for no other reason than for his capability to do something quickly and thoroughly. The Dome became rather bored of asking Busyman Telfel for his contribution, and finally despondency set in followed by blinding headaches. When Mr. Crawford was asked to do the publications feature, he agreed (as did Mr. Telfel) but the next day, it was completed. Literary activity is a phase of student life at Notre Dame that is by no means neg ' lected. With a student body of three thousand, it may be rightly expected that there should be a large number of men interested in journaHsm and in gaining hterary expe ' rience. While there is no attempt made at mass production of publications, there is suf ' ficient room for every interested student. All forms of writing, including poetry, essay, fiction, news, and professional and technical works are encouraged. Publications are under the direction of Rufus W. Rauch, professor of English at the University, as faculty chairman of student publications, and John F. Stoeckley, ' 25, as graduate manager. Both Mr. Rauch and Mr. Stoeckley have had extensive experience with college publications. Mr. Rauch was editor of the Spo esman, literary quarterly of Columbia College at Dubuque, Iowa, during his student days. Mr. Stoeckley served as associate editor of the Juggler and news editor of the Scholastic, besides being a contribu- tor to the 1924 and 1925 editions of the Dome. Notre Dame puUications have made considerable progress under the guidance of these men. There are, in all, eight publications to which the Notre Dame student may lend his hterary talent. Heading the list, because of its seniority, is the Scholastic. This thirty- two page weekly is essentially a news-magazine, having relinquished its claim to purely literary efforts. It is an illustrated publication, presenting to its readers all events of in- terest on or about the campus, besides feature articles. .- 5C. Page 174 • 5-fi « «« r THE DOME OF 1931 I I Mr. Stoeckley returned to the University in Novem- ber after several years ' experience in publicity and sales promotion. In his present position as graduate man- ager, he has systematized, organized, publicized and budgetized the pubhcations to a fine degree. On Feb. 1, the Dome staff, for example, was aware precisely where it stood financially. So did the other publications. The convenience which this system means to editors can be appreciated. His point of view has been that of the business man- ager; advertising and circulation have consequently increased. Mr. Stoeckley has been assisted in his work by Merle Baldwin, oifice manager. Notre Dame JOHN F. STOECKLEY Graduate Manager The Dome, the official yearbook of the University, is edited and managed by mem- bers of the Junior Class. It is issued annually, and contains a pictorial record of various school events, social functions, athletics, campus organizjations and class personnel. The Juggler is a magazine of college humor, whose pages of wit and art are the prod ' ucts of the students themselves. The Funny Fellow ' s magazine, as the publication is known on the campus, appears eight times during the year. It has attained a high rank in the field of collegiate humorous endeavor. A literary quarterly. Scrip, offers short stories, poetry, and essays written by the stu ' dents. It is the youngest of the publications, but the favor which it has received on the campus indicates that it ranks favorably with its associates. The Notre Dame Lawyer, a quarterly law review, is published by members of the Col ' lege of Law, and lists several prominent jurists among its contributors. The purpose of the publication is To make the Notre Dame lawyer synonymous with respect for law, and jealous of any attacks upon it. The Notre Dame Alumnus, issued monthly, furnishes alumni news of fellow mem ' bers of the Alumni Association and of Notre Dame. It contains a review of campus events for the past month, and features reports from class secretaries and alumni clubs. The Knights of Columbus publication, the Santa Maria, is published at intervals in an attempt to help the members of the Notre Dame Council keep in touch with the local activities of the order. ! The Catalyzer is a technical periodical, published by the Chemists ' Club of the Uni ' versity, and its feature articles upon chemical research are often used as reference mate ' rial by the undergraduate students in the department of chemistry. Notre Dame is proud of her publications. They represent the best literary and writ ' ing ability of the University, and they serve as suitable complement to her other work. Page 17? p % THE. DOME OF 1931 WS ? The Dome PAUL J. HALLINAN Editor-in-Chief The Dome meant to be cynical in this article, — to evaluate coldly this collection of words, pages and photographs. We intended to avoid the slightly maudlin gushings which usually characterize such treatises. But we hesitate. Is it entirely maudlin to confess that the production of this book is the complete real ' ization of a plan? Is it to gush, as the French might say, to thank our staff and our ex ' roommate and to give to them 75 per cent of the credit for what the book is? The other 25 per cent goes to the professional help and to the angelic spirits that keep Dome editors from premature senility and feeble ' mindedness. We wonder how closely the book approximates the ideal which we set up last June. Our aim has been to please the reader and ourselves. Offhand, we can ' t think of a more logical one.

THE DOM OF 19 3 1 The year of 1930493 1 has been a big year. Any Brownson Hall freshman will tell you that; his opinion will be backed by that of residents of Sorin, Corby or Lyons. Things have happened, and are happening, that are changing Notre Dame. The Dome is happy to keep its nose and ear close to the ground to record these things for you. Last September, the Law Building and the Stadium appeared to herald the new No ' tre Dame. The Dome has tried to include in its views something of the architectural beauty and significance which these structures have. In October came Gilbert K. Ches ' terton to lecture and to charm. An account of his visit is in the Faculty section; Mr. Chesterton ' s poem, The Arena, written to honor Notre Dame, is among the features. A national championship climaxed a brilliant season for the football team; — the Dome again rejoices and finds it a pleasure to honor the men of Rockne in the Athletics section. Basketball of last winter, baseball and track of last spring were both successful. The finger of the Dome writes, and having writ, The two new residence halls were announced in March, following the statement that the new Hurley College of Commerce Building would be begun as soon as spring ap ' peared. The three units add to the tangible beauty of the University; more are forthcom ' ing. The Dome thinks of the Gold Coast shifting again, from west to east; thinks of the possibilities of being the last Dome to write of Freshman and Sophomore Halls; thinks, but doubts it. Dances, publications, clubs, the theater, debate, musical organizations, — all these have made the year enjoyable. The men concerned with them will assure you that the activ ity in question had its biggest and best season. The book was planned and the staff selected with what the Dome Ukes to call the historical mind. In this way, the record is rather complete and, the editors think, rather interesting. To make it so, the book has had the following men to thank: Myron Crawford, who interviewed deans, compiled lists, checked proof, wrote good stories, handled photography, and always smiled; LESLIE RADDATZ THOMAS MONAHAN CLEVE CAREY Organizations ' Editor Photographic Editor Ass ' t Campus Editor AUSTIN BOYLE Satire Editor o M M f %fW WVN V ' ' V J Page 177 XHE DOME OF 1931 • i JOSEPH WILK Circulation Manager Neil Hurley and James Collins, in charge of ath ' letics and social sections, respectively, who did their assigned work promptly and well. The editor was glad to have both men on his staff; Leslie Raddatz, to whom goes all of the credit if the club section is good, and none of the blame if it isn ' t; Cleve Carey, who wrote musical and dramatic ac tivities, and did much more work of less spectacular character; James Dubbs, who did lots of labor and got little for it except the thanks of the editor, a nice title, and a lemon coke. At the time of writing, the Dome can only tell of the Satire section with a prayer in its heart. Austin Boyle, who is to edit it, firmly believes that the dead ' line on the Dome is the night before its publication date. But, confidentially, we would hold puWication until 1940 to include Boyle ' s copy. Charles Hanna, Don Sullivan and Les Raddat2; are co ' operating with the Walsh Hall satirist. And speaking of Hanna and satire, the Dome wants to direct all of its readers to page 145, where the first of Hanna ' s parodies appear. The brightest Halls ' section in years, says the Dome, modestly, — most of it is due to the suave Mr. Hanna.

Among the students, the following have contrib ' uted signed articles which develop phases of Notre Dame life: Austin Boyle, Halls ; Myron Crawford, Publications ; Frank Seward, Music and Drama ; James Collins, Social Life ; Leslie Raddatz,, Club Life ; John Kiener, Athletics ; Cleve Carey, Twentyfive Years Ago ; John Dempsey, Humor at Notre Dame. The Dome has tried to work out several new ideas, with more or less success. These include: the new Juu ' ior section; hall ' parodies; tabloid treatment of the football season, with few blurbs found anywhere in the athletic pages; reproductions of covers of the publications; scenes from the cities and regions represented by the large campus clubs; rosters of all the clubs; a novel scheme of snapshot pages; and an elaborate feature section. At the Publications ' Office, it is acknowledged that the editorial part of the book is the least important; advertising and circulation are paramount. That doctrine smacks of the materiahstic, and we dislike it. But to Edmund Britz; and Joseph Wilk (of the Mas- sachusetts Wilks, we hear) the Dome is sincere in thanking them for their enthusiasm and help. Both worked hard, and if all business men were like them, the Dome would be less apprehensive about big business. Joseph Wilk did all the circulation, but Edmund Britz; was helped in his local adver- tising by the following men: Gerald F.

DEMPSEY Editor-in-Chief Suit the picture to the joke. There, in a word, is the creed of Editor Dempsey and the reason why his Juggler has been clever and sophisticated. Early in the year, he out ' lawed he and ' she jokes; blended his artists with his jesters and copywriters; and showed originality in his features. The Dome is sincere in its praise of this year ' s funny magazine. We appreciate that to be funny is a much more delicate and much more difficult task than to be nasty or be ' nign. If you are nasty you write editorials; if you are benign, you handle a year ' book. But to make a campus laugh and admire, — that, my sober friend, is a heavy proposition. In the first place, the campus laughs all too little anyhow. Those who can laugh Arthur Kane Austin Boy]e Paul Halitnan Page 1 84 -THE DOME OF 1931  « WILLIAM O ' BRIEN Art Editor JOSEPH WILK Circulation Manager during March around here are humorous ' minded men, indeed. Those who can endure exams, meals, pohticians, rackets and still smile, we congratulate them. The Juggler this year followed its usual course of three numbers before Christmas: the Freshman (which had a clever cover by O ' Brien and a full ' page gallery scene named Hounds of Heaven by that same gentleman) ; the Football (containing Joseph Lopker ' s best frontispiece, the girl with the tear, and the Reminiscences of the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame), and the Christmas numbers (excellent cover by Lopker, a Wilkized greeting card, and two good caricatures by G. K. Chesterton). The Dempseys (Jack and brother Joseph), whose ideas and script have been the mainstays of the book all year, went home to Wisconsin with three scalps, in the form of campus chuckles, to their credit. The much ' heralded Racketeers ' number of January failed to startle the boys as much as the publicity had warned.

Outstanding in the reading matter was G en ' tlemen! the report of the Christmas Dance chairman. The Broadway number was much better. John Kuhn ' s cover caught the glare and the flare of the big street; one was reminded of Chesterton ' s remark that it must all be beautiful to one who could not read. Lopker again reached the hearts of the men and the walls of their rooms with a striking frontispiece. George Cohan contributed with a tirade on the thea ' ter. Becvar ' s Ship ' launching ; the editor ' s jest on The baby whose advent Winchell overlooked ; and Charles Hanna ' s verse, Ennui were decidedly worth ' while.

The members of this group were featured in the Charter number, which appeared just before the Easter vacation. The famous Girls ' number was next, and the usual volume of contributions from the fair humorists of the country was exceeded. The Commencement issue climaxed an excep ' tionally good year.

JOHN ZABACK Foreign Advertising Manager Robert fitzsimmons Joseph Spalding John Ryan Thomas Monahan Page 187 THE DOME O -F 1931 LOUIS BRENNAN Editor-in-Chief Scrip A year ago last fall a few of the wiser heads about the campus decided that a univer ' sity of three thousand students should foster a medium of purely literary expression. This, coupled with the interest known to be in existence at Notre Dame for things literary, prompted the creation of Scrip. Thorough plans were immediately drawn up and four of the distinguished campus authors, Louis Heitger, John Nanovic, Cyril Mullen, and Louis Brennan, were chosen as the board of editors, with Heitger as chairman. Within a few weeks they announced that Scrip, the Notre Dame literary quarterly, was ready for publication. Since its first appearance this publication has been enclosed within a green cover, show- ing a conservativeness in makeup and unpretentiousness in design that are striking. The magazine averages about forty pages per issue — this the editors find essential in keeping it on a high literary level. Another feature of the publication is that it is free from all advertising. In its first issue this year the editors reprinted the editorial, Scrip, which had ap ' peared in the premier number, stating its purpose and intention. To quote a few of the important paragraphs: This magazine makes no pretentions — for the importance attached to it is reaHzed by all whose interest transcends merely a passive concern in the cultivation of fine things. But it must not be supposed that the importance of Scrip stops with the purpose of giving the student body a special medium for creative writing. More than this, the world outside the campus is made acquainted with what is going on within the University. The primary intentions of the magazine are to assist in every way possible the crea- tion of literature at Notre Dame, and at the same time to promote sound literary criticism. I i Page 188 y JOSEPH McCABE PHILIP deROULET Scrip will not only serve as a medium for this literature but will also serve as a stimulus for more and more effort being exerted in the production of good student writing. Aside from this, such a publication puts on record the best thought of the institution which it represents, whether that thought be wholly the product of the student body, or of, likewise, the instruc- tors whose vocation is the training of youth and the discovery of talent. This year Scrip appeared as a continuation of last year ' s policy. The editors an ' nounced in the November number: Scrip will be what is made of it; what the campus makes of it. Now it has no traditions to offer, only ambitions. For itself it, has one hope, that it can print material of literary worth; one ideal, that it will represent literary excellence. In fulfilling this hope, and carrying out this ideal the magazine published for the ben ' efit of its readers such delightful literary gems as, An Impression of Gilbert Keith Ches ' terton, by Louis C. Heitger; The Fiddling Sorcerer, and Last Night, by a prominent member of the campus literati, Joseph Clenens; A Realist Looks at Christmas, by Louis Brennan; Hill Clearing, by George M. Spalding; a steady flow of contributions from the pen of Joseph Carroll, a freshman, who writes the only readable amateur poetry we have been able to find. Though it is only two years old, Scrip has already attracted intercollegiate recognition. And the concensus of opinion seems to indicate that within the next few years it will grow even greater. Its sales have been sufficiently high enough to indicate that it has attracted the unsolicited patronage of the student body. The favorable criticism it has extracted from professional critics indicates its worth. This year, under the able guidance of Louis Brennan, Chairman of the Board of Edi ' tors, Philip deRoulet, and Joseph A. McCabs, three of the real literary scholars of the campus, it has proved that it can print material of literary worth ; that it will repre ' sent literary excellence.

GUADNOLA £ditor-in-Cfiie i The Lawyer In September, those elderly campus gentlemen who so awkwardly carry shiny yellow canes subpoened able Joseph P. Guadnola to edit their quarterly publication, the Notre Dame Lawyer. Norman J. Hart er assumed the role of business manager; Robert E. Duf ' fy handled advertising; Robert J. Kuhn managed the circulation department. Frank Downs, Kenneth Konop, John Mahoney, William O ' Malley, and Joseph Wetli were the associate editors. Professors Manion and Richter again were the faculty ad ' visors along with Professor RoUison. In its new form the Lawyer presents: Outstanding legal questions in discussion by leading lawyers, professors, and jurists; Reviews of the latest books on legal subjects; Dis- cussions of the more important recent decisions; Treatments of the current problems be- fore legislatures; A study of momentous legal matters by students of the law. Containing such articles, the publication does not strive for campus popularity. And in keeping with the dignity of the magazine there is, too, a price of seventyfive cents per number, which helps to limit the campus sales to those students interested in legal ques ' tions. Thus, the circulation of the Lawyer is about three hundred copies per month. These go to the students of the law school, the alumni, and the exchanges, which number about fifty law schools throughout the country. By far the most distinguished of the distinguished contributors to the Lawyer this past year was the renowned Gilbert Keith Chesterton, who lectured at the University for six weeks last fall. In his article, Mr. Chesterton stated: I am glad that men are still be- ing trained in the true study of law; especially in a Catholic University. For the time may yet come when those centers of the ancient culture which already are almost unique in understanding the case for humility or for chastity, will be found alone among men gone mad upon quackery and sham criminology, upholding the nature and even the very name of justice.

PtiiltihiJ j : e DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY NOTRE DAME - - INDIANA Vol. g jinuiry. 19jl No. 4 The Catalyzer  Over in lonelylooking Chemistry Hall a certain group of students hibernate for four years, spending their afternoons, evenings, and holidays pouring odorous liquids into pe ' culiar tubes. Once a month they go literary, and produce a magazine which is worthy of their department. The Catalyzer, as those who read it will tell you, is doing a remark ' able service not only to the chemists but, to the campus at l arge. During the past year the Catalyzer was in the capable hands of Editor W. L. Terre and Associate Editors J- Toussaint and R. P. AUard. These gentlemen kept the publica- tion on the high plane upon which it had been placed in previous years — and, that means that the make ' up, news and features were interesting. For the last eight years the magazine has been published as the medium of expression for the campus scientists. In it are contained experiments written by the students, club news, editorials, the latest in chemical inventions, discussions of important events in the engineering field, and gossip concerning the alumni of Chemistry Hall. In its present form the Catalyzer is enclosed in a gray cover, somewhat the same di- mensions as the Scholastic. Its circulation is confined to the students and alumni of the Chemists ' Club. It contains from eight to twelve pages of printed matter, exclusive of advertising; the price per copy is fifteen cents. Unquestionably the Catalyzer is doing excellent work in offering to the technical stu- dents of the University a medium through which they may see their work in print and by which there is established a connecting link between the graduates and the undergradu- ates of that particular professional school. Fortunate was the day when the Catalyzer was established. Page 191 O O O HE POMS OF Igi ' iy O i ebitation JQumber ©tloOct. 1930 Ttf — f - . -t«-  i c j«. JAMES E. ARMSTRONG Editor-in-Chief The Alumnus James E. Armstrong, ' 25, secretary of the Alumni Association, is editor of the Alumnus. That is to say, the personality of the magazine is the personality of Jim Arm ' strong. And that, the Dome might say, is very fortunate for the Alumnus. The Notre Dame Alumnus conforms to the standard of the majority of alumni maga ' zines in the American Alumni Council, of which Notre Dame is a member. It is due largely to this publication that the alumni of the school are able to have an organization of a national nature. The magazine, published every month eccept July and August, contains thirty-two pages of newsy material. Being the only University publication with any direct appeal to the graduates, it is sent to the entire body of alumni, both of national and international residence, numbering at the present time abo Jt fiftyfive hundred. The various departments of the magazine include a feature section, local alumni club news, alumni class chatter, athletics, a page for the women graduates of the University summer school, books, and an editorial page. The financial end of the publication is aided by a limited amount of advertising. For the most part the publication is featured by articles of special interest to alumni written by prominent members of the organi5ation and of the University faculty. The most interesting features of the magazine, however, are the contact departments, the clubs and the classes, which act as the medium of contact for the widely scattered alumni of the University. This is the only official news bureau of the Old Grad Vital Statistics; here are recorded marriages, deaths, blessed events and occupations. Someday we ' ll be hailing each other through its stimulating columns. Page 192 m m s. THe-DOME OF 1931 I JOHN BERGAN Editor-m-Chief THE IN THIS ISSUE Fev. P J Ofroll. C. S. C Thmdoie Majmiid John M.

Coplan William O ' Connor LouK F Buckley The Santa Maria This Knights of Columbus journal, the official organ of Notre Dame Council No. 1477, ranks with the elite fraternal puWications of the nation. It is not a Best Seller on the campus, but it is thoroughly read and enjoyed by everyone possessing any con- tact with the local chapter of the Knights of Columbus. To the members of that worthy body it is important — it is their exclusive publication. Its main purpose is to record the activities of the council and communicate regularly with brother ' knights who are now members of the University Alumni. Thus, the irreplacable value as a campus publication can readily be seen. This year the Grand Knight, Louis F. Buckley, for the second successive time ap ' pointed famed campus journalist, John Bergan, to the editorial chair. His associate edi ' tors were James J. Kearney, John Weibler, Neil Hurley, and Roger Bierne. Ray Naber took charge of the business end of the publication, assisted by Fred Rahaim and William C. Brown. Many of these men were veterans who had assisted Editor Bergan the year previous. Once again the magazine was a success, — satisfying even the most strenuous of campus critics. The Santa Maria contains several regular columns; some very splendid book reviews; and feature stories written by members of the faculty and prominent students about the campus. It makes its bow to the public three times during the scholastic year: in Janu ' ary, April, and May. In nearly all of these editions the contributors ' list looked like a page torn from the University ' s Who ' s Who. Numbered among the contributors could be seen such names as Rev. Patrick J. Carroll, C.S.C.; John M. Cooney, Charles A. Phil ' lips, Kenton Kilmer, Henry A. Staunton, and John T. Frederick. With such a capable group of editors and such an illustrious band of contributors, one can readily see why the Santa Maria has achieved national recognition in the Knights of Columbus. Page 193 §s . THE DOME OF 1931 LOUIS HEITGER University J ews JOSEPH PETRITZ Athletics Public Relations Department This year Joseph Petritz; and Louis F. Heitger succeeded the Messrs. Art West and Archer Hurley as the ccdirectors of the official University Publicity Department. To them are entrusted the duties of keeping the news bureaus well informed on what is gO ' ing on at Notre Dame. This is largely done through weekly newsletters that are sent to editors all over the nation. This correspondence is furnished free and contains all of the important activities of the University, both of athletic and scholastic nature. Numbered among the duties of this department was that of informing the students ' home town papers whenever they have achieved distinction in some phase of campus ac tivity; and, that of aiding the campus authors in their endeavors of putting their books before the public. This was done by sending reviews of the books to the interested publi ' cations of a professional and technical nature; and, by co ' operating to some extent with the publishers. Anyone who is familiar at all with the demands of the outside world for news of Nc tre Dame ' s activities will reali2;e the vast amount of exhaustive work these two campus journalists were forced to do. Add to this the tremendous responsibility of their posi ' tions and you will have a fair idea of the importance of the department. Notre Dame has one of the most efficient bureaus of public relations in the country. This is a real tribute when one takes into consideration nearly all the other major univer ' sities have high ' salaried ex ' uewspaper men of established reputation in charge of their pub ' lie relations. The University, however, reali2;es that so long as there are students as capable as Messrs. Petritz and Heitger enrolled the important duties of this department are resting in competent hands. These men have done much to promote a friendly feel ' ing with the newspaper men who invade the campus at frequent intervals. Already they number among their friends some of the most prominent editors and columnists of the nation. Page 194 o M , I t M TH£ DOME OF 19 3 1 Music and Drama at Notre Dame With this essay on the finer things at Notre Dame, Frank Seward becomes the triple-threat dramatic and music critic of the campus. His witty, personal and authori- tative column in the Scholastic long ago charmed us. His accounts of the Chicago shows were bright spots in the very bright Juggler. Now, he speaks of local things; — - and the Dome, among other people, listens. After the huge success of the football season at the beginning of the year, Notre Dame could not reasonably be expected to respond so brilliantly in music or the drama. These are, of course, matters of secondary importance, hardly the most necessary things in life; and this is one of the aims of a college education — to give a man a sense of correct pro ' portion, of discernment between the good, the mediocre, and the poor, and standards for the perception of proper values. After all, the true university, some one has said, is found not in the classrooms but in the leisure hours of the students. Here, then, do these values find their pertinence, and by them the impracticabihties of this thing called culture and this self ' education are clearly seen and found to be less worthwhile than the poets and thinkers would have us imagine. It is a universally accepted idea that the production of Shakespeare gives to a college that indelible stamp of academic greatness. Twelfth Night, which was the dramatic high ' light of the first semester, may truly be called our MacFlecknoe and should be so crowned. The originality displayed in the choice of a play and in its production was startling, and the students will always remember the comedy as a breathless and hilarious affair. And in passing, we must not forget the professional concert season. The band gave an acceptable account of itself this year, although it was in evidence at the football games only to those who arrived a half ' hour early. The Glee Club, too, did well, both at home and on trips. The finest musical group on the campus, however, is perhaps the Seminary Choir. This organization, under the direction of the Reverend James Connerton, C.S.C., has been excellently developed, and the singing at the Sunday Mass has been a beautiful and artistic accomplishment. As was about time, an attempt was made toward the building up of a symphony or ' chestra during the year. The response was at first very feeble, however, and it seemed that the sense of value prevalent at Notre Dame had once more asserted itself. The need for this orchestra is just as apparent as is the fact that man ' s nature has a faculty for ap ' preciating finer things than physical combats. Notre Dame has potentialities for a good theater workshop, but such a project has been ignored till now. Three and four years ago, students ' plays were produced in Washington Hall, but though they helped the students, they did not help the Univer ' sity. The gesture of Shakespeare was much more appealing, and the budding project which might have led to achievement was nipped before any real accomplishment was made. Long ago, Shakespeare and the Greeks were produced in fine fashion at Notre Dame, but that was — long ago. In the English department much attention is paid to the drama with classes in playwriting, Shakespeare, history of the drama, and seminars for readings in dramaturgy. Were all these combined with a practical workshop embracing every phase of the theater, it would not be long before Notre Dame could hold up her head with Harvard and Yale in the realm of the theater. The campus is far from being sterile of talent, and there is a bright future ahead, if only the preliminary steps will be taken. I THe DON4E OF 1931 The University Theatre The world is a stage, wrote William Shakes- peare, and for over three centuries critics have accepted this statement at its face value. But in the opinion of another more obscure drama- tist, the converse is equally true and is much more illuminating. The stage is a world, and in tracing the appearance and reappearance of the elements of personality in all groups, a world is a person. Notre Dame has always been justly proud of the University Theatre. It is an integral part of her program of education, and she has fostered and encouraged its development ever since it was founded, five seasons back. Drama, except by the individual ' s selection, belongs to the activities classed as extra curricula. It is ent ' rely optional whether or not he participates in any of the plays presented by the Theatre. The student, however, is usually cognizant of the amount of training and entertainment he receives by either taking an active part or giv- ing it his strong support. The University Theatre was founded in December, 1926. It has just completed the twelfth presentation attempted. An attentive observer has stated that with the passing of time a distinct improvement is noticeable, both in regard to the quality of plays ren- dered and the ability of the actors participating. The William Mitchell award of fifty dollars in gold, given annually to the student writing the best play of the year, also tends to preserve the student ' s interest in drama.

The theatre was well filled at both performances, and if applause is any indication of the merits of the players, the production was more than the conventional success. The lines lost little of their inherent beauty and power in presentation. This speaks well for the play ' s personnel. Roger Beirne as Malvolio, the perennial reformer who is himself in crying need of reformation, was splendid. His interpretation of the role was suave and finished. One looks forward to sec ing Mr. Beirne more often in future productions. Miss Julia Huff took the part of Viola perfectly. Her rendition was done in a natural and unaffected manner and the result was a sin ' cere, capable Viola who impressed all present. The remaining members of the cast are all to be congrat ' ulated for the earnest and efficient manner in which they sup ' ported the principals. J. Edward Phelan, who appeared several times last year, also deserves mention for the fine way in which he acquitted himself. Mr. Rufus W. Rauch, professor of Shakespearian classics, wrote a superior summary and comment which appeared in the programs. The entire production of the play was under the supervision of Professor Frank W. Kelly, who has been a most important figure in the attempt to give the drama the impor ' tant position it should hold. The script for the play was read by Ramon G. Smith, while the lighting effects were done by Thomas M. Dolan. Prominent in the cast supporting the principals were Messrs. Thornton, Phelan, Mer ' d2;inski, and Ryan. These men were good in their parts, although some difficulty with hues was noticeable.

It was the first time since the establish ' ment of the William Mitchell Award for playwriting, in 1927, that a full length drama which won the award has been presented by the University. The production was a fantastic melodrama done in a pleasing and convincing man ' ner. The organization and sequence of the play merited much comment while the script was exceptionally well handled. 3 I Miser Sloop, Villain Sloop and Mrs. Flister Page 200 TH£ DOME OF 1931 I Richard Sullivan wrote the drama and it is an opus of which he may well be proud. There was no complexity ot plot or feeble dialogue to weary the audience. It was simple and brisk moving, based solely on the fantastical and with a more or less obvious moral. The Ghost of Thomas Sloop is a quite impossible story of the blind old miser, Thomas Sloop, who has been poisoned by his villainous brother, Jeffrey. Not being satisfied with this deed, Jeffrey must also murder Mrs. Flister, who was aware of his guilt. The play goes on to describe the meeting of Sloop and Mrs. Flister in the Land of Ghosts. The former is storming the Of ' ficial Ghost for the privilege of haunting his brother, while Mrs. Flister insists on being a general nuisance. Sloop gets his request granted but after a brief haunting session finds himself quite ready to give it up. The production boasted an array oi the best talent in the University. Most prominent was J. Edward Phelan, who again proved himself to be one of Notre Dame ' s most able Thes- pians. Roger Beirne of Twelfth Night fame again turned in a finished performance. Miss Julia Huff, despite her obvi ' ous youth, played the part of the garrulous widow in a splendid manner. Excellent lighting effects and well arranged scenery enhanced the setting. Prof. Frank Kelly directed the play and Fred Eisenmann was the stage manager. J. EDWARD PHELAN as Gimlet Theater Workshop During March, a definite effort was made by directors of the University Theater, to enroll all students who were keenly interested in things dramatic. The call for actors, mechanical directors, costumers and designers was answered by more than 70 men. At a meeting, March 14, plans were made for the remainder of this year and the academic year of 1931-2. Professor Frank Kelly, head of the University Speech Department, addressed the ap- plicants. The plan, he said, is to give each man a chance to show his ability by a series of personally conducted auditions. The results will be catalogued and will form the basis of our selection of parts for coming play productions. That the aim of the Theater workshop is instructional rather than professional and that experience is not a prerequisite were stressed by Mr. Kelly. An elaborate production of The Merchant of Venice is being planned for June. Arrangements for plays to be presented next year indicate that the drama-lovers of the campus will not be disappointed. May 1 was the deadline for all play-manuscripts submitted to the William Mitchell Memorial contest. This is an annual prize of fifty dollars, given by Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Mitchell in memory of their son, a member of the class of 1928. The Monogram Club, through President Arthur McManmon, this year inaugurated a contest in connection with the Blue and Gold Revue. Cash prizes were offered for the best skit and the best song submitted. Page 201 B SSI ' e vj - «c THE DOME OF 19 3 1 The Blue and Gold Revue The Monogram Club ' s Revue opened Tuesday evening, April 28, in the auditorium of Washington Hall, followed by a special matinee Wednesday afternoon for the girls of St. Mary ' s College and Academy. Wednesday night marked the final performance which was given both for students and residents of South Bend. Elaborate staging, exceptionally clever skits and outstanding individual talent con ' tributed to make the show the finest production ever given by the Monogram Club. PrO ' fessors Frank Kelly and Joseph Casasanta supervised and directed the entire program. John Saunders acted as business manager while Brant Little handled the publicity. The production was carried on in the manner of a minstrel show with Tom Conley acting as interlocutor. The chorus consisted of such beauties as Pierce, Yarr, Terlaak, Howrey, Hoffman, Lauerman, Gavin, Jaskwhich, Greeney, Wilson, Kurth, Kuhn, Crowe, Kegowicz;, Little, Newbold, Brill, Leahy, McCormick. The end men were Mahoney, Cul ' ver. Host, and Bernie Leahy. Johnny CBrien, running for Mayor of Notre Dame, was a distinct hit. Larry Moon MuUins, the official announcer of station N.D.M.C., announced the program and kept things running in a fast tempo. Joe Kurth was dressed in the garb of a porter and almost made his harmonica talk. During a brief intermission, the Monogram Trio, of Gene Howrey, Alex Wilson, and Brant Little, sang in a manner that made their performance one of the most o utstanding of the evening. Part two brought forth the skit quaintly named the Japalappa WafHe Program, which featured Johnny Perone as Mr. Japalappa himself and Freddy Rahaim as one of Monogram Trio: Howrey, Wilson, Little Page 202 « « s r THE DOME OF 1931 «o| the Japalappa boys. This was by far the cleverest bit of dia ' logue of the entire show. A dance, featuring the rhythmic backiield composed of Frank Carideo, Marty Brill, Nick Lukats, and Al Howard, was testimony of the fact that ath ' letes are at times graceful. Dressed in silk football pants and sweaters, they reminded one of the famous backfield that crushed so many opponents during the past football season. The Notre Dame Jugglers were in the pit to afford the musical background. Scores for the various numbers were written by Mr. Casasanta, Walt Philipp, and Austin Boyle. Bill McAleer, who is famous around the campus for his sing ' ing ability, was soloist. The song hit of the show was Fathers, Be Pals to Your Boys! — a satiric ballad, urging that — We ' re quite young, but not so dumb, really. Give us the break that we need! It was written by Boyle and Philipp. An impressive march ' song, called Carry On for Rockne! paid tribute to the dead coach. It was written by the same two composers, and sung by the entire chorus. President McManmon and his fellow members of the Monogram Club deserve much praise for the finished performance they rendered. It was easily the finest opus ever turned out by that organization. JOHN O ' BRIEN Mayoralty Candidate Rhythmic Bac field: Carideo, Brill, Howard, Lu ats i ' ' M mmm THeOOMlE 0 = 1931 Glee Club The University of Notre Dame Glee Club is recogni2;ed, not only in the middle west, but all over the country, as being one of the finest choral groups in collegiate circles. As a proof of this quality, they have made numerous recordings of the school songs and of religious songs. They have broadcast over national chains, and last year filled an engagement in a prominent theatre in metropolitan New York. With the advent of the talking pictures, the Notre Dame Glee Club of 1927 made a Vita- phone production of a typical concert for War ' ner Brothers in their studio at Hollywood. The Glee Club has been the only one to ever make such a production. Some hundred fifty candidates appeared for initial tryouts this year, the greatest number of applicants for place in the glee club since its first meeting. Mr. Joseph Casasanta, director, chose from this group fifty-seven men for local concerts and for more thorough training, out of which the traveling group of thir- ty-five was picked. Concerts were presented early in the year at St. Mary ' s and at the University, both programs scoring favorably with critical audiences, and being remarkable for variety of numbers and for sharply marked contrasts in the rendition of the several selections. Back in 1913, the first Glee Club at Notre Dame was organizied. A young man named Ward Perrot, who had received his university training at Harvard, came west to Notre Dame with some new ideas in the field of music. He was thoroughly acquainted with the glee club as developed in the east, and went about developing a finished organi ' nation here with all his musical skill and training.

In addition to the number of choral sections, written espc cially for Glee Club singing, the club ' s repertoire included religious numbers. At this time, John J. Becker was director of the club. In 1923, Dr. J. Lewis Browne, a composer and authority on music, took over the di ' rection. Singing in the club that year was Joseph Casasanta, who when he finished his course, became assistant to Dr. Browne in the training and directing of some fifty voices. Three years later, Mr. Casasanta became director, and has been in charge since that time. Mr. Casasanta has produced this year an organization so fine as to rank with the best university clubs in the country, and the general praise of the club can be attributed to his fine direction. « « Page 205 0 0 T HE J.

Wade Clayton Duerr Page 206 o- 0 ' THe DOME OF 1931 ' M oreau Choi oir Catholics the world over have thrilled for centuries to the deep solemnity of the Gregorian chant, to its reverent, worshipful notes; it has been at the same time one of the most profound and most difficult of all musical types to render. As a result there has been a world-wide tendency to let it fall into the category of tradition through inabil ' ity to give its study the proper and necessary diligence. Notre Dame, however, has always jealously guarded and perpetuated this beautiful heritage of the church. At present, through the University Choir of Moreau Seminary, sacred music has been given the voices it demands, the labor and training it exacts; here, of very few places, has it preserved its traditional force and effectiveness, for the reason that the Choir attains to more than mere technical skill — it has enhanced the score with a devoutness and reverence that makes for far more than simply music. Members of Moreau Seminary make up the body of the University Choir. For three years prior to their entrance into Moreau, the Seminarians are given a graded course in the theory of both Modern and Gregorian Music. The third year, at the Novitiate, is de- voted strictly to the liturgical aspect of the Church ' s music. In keeping with the spirit of the Motu Proprio of Pius X, solos are never used by the choir. Aside from the Gregorian proper and Common of the Mass all polyphony, motets and processionals are sung without accompaniment, which is the ultimate test of a choir ' s musicianship. Prac tice is constant, some five hours a week being spent in rehearsal to keep the perfection that has been attained. All summer long the Choir is busy under the direction of the Reverend James W. Con ' nerton, C.S.C., who directs them in all their singing. Father Connerton is a recognized authority in the field of sacred music; he teaches a course in the Gregorian Chant dur ' ing the summer session of the University, and is as well, advisor to the University Glee Club. With the seminary choir Father Connerton has achieved the ultimate in strictly liturgical song. The choir gives the impression, so necessary in sacred music, of being a single voice with the widest of ranges. - ra m v Page 207 THE DOME OF 1931 The University Band VIRGILIUS PHILLIP President Time was when college bands at the average uni ' versity were nothing more than musical groups organ ' i2;ed by schools in an endeavor to bolster the pseudc activity of the institution. Time does go on; and time has come, especially at Notre Dame, where this once tolerated group has become a very essential factor in her scope of activities. Today, the Notre Dame Band is the ultimate goal of every student entering the University who is able to play a musical instrument. The most talented of these aspirants are selected and trained in a manner which ranks them as one of the best collegiate bands in the country. Many willing hands were necessary before this or ' ganiziation could be raised to this successful level. Pro ' fessor Joseph J. Casasanta, ever interested in things musical at Notre Dame, is the direc tor of the band. To him goes the credit for its fine appearance and musical capability. Mr. Casasanta has this year guided the band through what has been generally conceded to be its most successful season. The intricacies involved with the running of the band, were many and onerous; and to overcome these required much painstaking work on the part of Mr. Casasanta and the band ' s officers. These were: Virgilius A. Phillip, president; John Weibler, vice ' presi ' dent; William A. Stewart, junior officer, and Henry S. Tholen, drum major. In its gamut of musical activity, the band has, during the past year, played at all the important events at the University. Notre Dame appreciates the sacrifice of time and effort displayed for her interests and is grateful. Because of the many home games, the band did not travel as much as usual this year. Two trips, however, were made: one to Evanston for the Northwestern game and another Page 208 THE DOME OF 1931 JOHN WEIBLER Vice-President ALBERT STEWART Junior Officer to Chicago, where they performed at the Army game. Their playing and formations aroused much laudable comment. At the football banquet in December, the band was present to add a musical touch to the honor paid to the gridiron warriors. On March 9, a concert was presented in Washington Hall. With the full strength of the organization, — the largest group ever to be presented in a concert program, — Mr. Casasanta led the members through a fine selection of numbers. Show Boat, On the Campus, and Good News were featured. The concert closed with the group of campus songs, including The Victory March. The band also performed at all the home football games and the more important bas ' ketball games. At all these events they stimulated zest and increased spirit in general. The band will also be present at the Commencement activities in June. Page 209 HENRY THOLEN Drum-Major Band Personnel Trumpets : J. F. Burns, A. J. Brasseur, J. P. Keener, D. J. Dolzol, J. A.

Page 210 THC DOME Of 1931 The Symphony Orchestra I t The University Orchestra as yet does not bear the evidenced relationship to the stu ' dent body at Notre Dame as does the University Band or Glee Club. It is in its infancy and this year marks its founding. Young only in existence, however, for in the expres ' sion of classical rhythms, in the interpretations of subtle arias, it represents age, — age whose connotation is skill. Professor Richard Seidel, who, for forty years was a member of the Chicago Sym- phony Orchestra, is the conductor and it would be futile to estimate the great influence he has been in developing the orchestra. Mr. Seidel also instructs students in the violin at St. Mary ' s College and the South Bend Conservatory of Music. Members of the orchestra have been selected from the band and students in the School of Music. Thus, by combining those who are able to play well, and those who are able to discriminate the finer qualities of music, the orchestra was fortunate in having a per ' sonnel including the most capable of the musically inclined students in the University. Professor Joseph Casasanta originated the idea of a symphony orchestra, and to him we are indebted for the fine organization that has developed. Mr. Casasanta is the fore- most promoter of things musical at Notre Dame. The Reverend Charles O ' Donnell, president of the University, is the patron. Father O ' Donnell has taken a keen interest in the orchestra ' s work and he is well pleased with the organization in general. Slowly but steadily, the musical side of Notre Dame ' s life is being developed. The Glee Club, the Band, the Jugglers — these are flourishing. This year, the symphony or ' chestra was formed. An attempt was made to organize a Mandolin Club, but nothing came of it. I. ' r. Page 211 po THE DOME OF 1931 ALBERT STEWART Director The Notre Dame Jugglers Although they are the last of the musical organizations to be reviewed in these pages, the Jugglers are one of the most popular musical groups on the campus. This year, their appearances be ' fore the student body have been more limited than usual due to the numerous outside engagements they were called on to fulfill. The personnel includes: Al Stewart, trombone; Charles Schmeid, first saxophone; Alex Scharbach, second saxophone; Robert Filson, third saxophone; Albin Dommermuth, first trum ' pet; Albert Brasseur, second trumpet; George Mangan, banjo; George Bryan, tuba, and Gerald Barry, drums. Stewart, the director, does all the arranging of music and stag ' ing of novelties. The soloist of the orchestra, George Mangan, was especially valuable. His arrangements of Tiger Rag and his own composition, Lonely, are splendid. The singing trio, composed of Mangan, Schmeid and Dommermuth, is known for its unusual versions of the popular songs. Engagements were filled in Elkhart, Chicago, St. Joseph and South Bend. At present, they play nightly at Nobile ' s restaurant. n TH£ DOME OF 1931 Debating Toward the middle of January, 1931, Father Francis J. Boland, coach of varsity debate, had, by the well-known process of elimination, gathered about him a squad of ten debaters, three of them veterans, to represent the University in the field of verbal fisticuffs. The debating team ' s encounters on the platform this year have been as successful as they were diver ' sifted. Out of sixteen debates, the varsity team won fourteen; leveUing, with its devastating logic and forensic proficiency, such formidable opponents as the University of Kansas, Michigan State, Purdue, and Princeton. Upholding a system of state-wide compulsory unemployment insurance, the standard question for debate this year, an Affirmative team composed of Charles Hanna, John Pick, and William Kirby met Miami University on February 9. The Oregon style of debating, cross-questioning opponents, was pursued in this instance; an innovation enthusiastically received. A Negative team, com ' posed of James Burke and George Allan, debated the same question in Washington Hall with Pittsburgh on Feb. 12. This was a no ' decision debate. On Sunday, February 15, a debate between Notre Dame and Chicago Kent College of Law was broadcast from Station WLS in Chicago. In this particular debate, the third of its kind, Charles Hanna and William Kirby argued affirmatively for a state-wide sys- tem of Compulsory Automobile Insurance. The decision went, by audience vote, to No- tre Dame. A Negative team, composed of William Darrow, George Allan, and William Kirby, met the City College of Detroit on Feb. 24. The subject for debate was compulsory un- employment insurance. This marked the first debate of the year decided by a critic-judge. Prof. McGee of Purdue University, who awarded the decision to City College of Detroit. REV. FRANCIS BOLAND, C.S.C. Coach Charles Hanna John Pick William Kirby Thomas O ' Meara Arthur Cline Page 213 THE DO ME OF 19 3 1 Burke and O ' Meara had the honor of meeting a team from the University of Porto Rico in Washington Hall a few nights later. From the moment of t he stating of the ques- tion, American armed intervention in the Caribbean, until the last speaker of the evening had taken his seat, the thousand or more people who had packed Washington Hall heard one of the best debates ever given on the Notre Dame campus. Fortunately for Porto Rico, this was a ncdecision debate. William Darrow, George Allan, and William Kirby, upholding the negative side of compulsory unemployment insurance, travelled to Lansing, Michigan, on March 5 to dc feat Michigan State, by a critic-judge decision rendered by Prof. O ' Neill of Michigan. On March 10, William Kirby and George Allan, still upholding the negative on compulsory unemployment insurance, met a globe-trotting team of forensic experts from the University of Kansas and summarily won a decision over them. Notre Dame ' s affirmative team debating the subject of unemployment insurance, made their debut on March 13, meeting Michigan State. In this debate, Charles Hanna, Leon- ard Horan, and Timothy Benitz were given the decision by Prof. Brigance, critic-judge from Wabash College. On March 16, Purdue fell before the onslaught of another neg- ative team, composed of Michael O ' Brien, George Allan, and William Kirby. The deci- sion in this debate was rendered by Professor Sandford of Illinois. Purdue fell again on March 22, the victorious team, in the estimation of critic-judge Prof. Weiss of Albion College, being Notre Dame ' s affirmative, composed of Charles Hanna, Leonard Horan, and Timothy Benitz. On March 25, Charles Hanna, Leonard Horan, and Timothy Benitz; set out for Detroit to avenge the one defeat suffered by the negative at the hands of City College of Detroit. Notre Dame, the affirmative, was awarded the decision by critic-judge. Prof. O ' Neill of Michigan. A negative team, composed of Charles Hanna, Timothy Benitz, and William Kirby, left for an eastern trip on April 5. New York University was met on April 8, the sub- ject for debate being compulsory unemployment insurance. An audience decision gave the debate to New York University by a very small margin. On April 10, Notre Dame ' s negative team met and defeated Princeton on the subject of Compulsory Federal Unem- ployment Insurance. Notre Dame, in this debate, was represented by Charles Hanna and William Kirby, the decision being rendered by a body of three judges. Three more debates remain at the time of publication. Northwestern University on April 17, a negative encounter; and a dual debate with the University of Illinois on April 24. Tiniothji Benitz Leonard Horan Walter Johnson William Darrow John Keefe Page 21 4 f m  r - ! |Mk THE DOME OE 1931 ymmm i Social Life at Notre Dame James K. Collins would be almost the first man to consider when calling for an article of this kind. He was president of that Sophomore Class which held the Cotil- lion of Charm in 1929. He has been an active member of the Glee Club, making their concert trips each year. He is on the Dome staff and Scholastic staff. He is a member of the S.A.C. Among other well-done things, he wrote this article. !( In the much discussed and reputed glamorous past, social life on the campus differed greatly from that of the present. With the passing of hoop skirts and buggies, also went the four ' day dances when festivities began on Wednesday and lasted until Sunday. Since the social renaissance, which occurred during the early years of the last decade, there has been a rigid adherence to a set schedule of events. Dances have been lessened in number and shortened in time; concentration on shorter and fewer affairs has been the vogue. The plan of having a comparative few social events during the year, and making each an outstanding affair, has been worked out very successfully. This fewness of dances has been credited with being the cause of their atmosphere which can, in turn, be traced to their simplicity. Six formal and about ten informal parties practically tell the story. Each class has its dance which is regarded as the event of the year by its members. The affairs are looked forward to, planned on, and reali2;ed in a spirit which would be lacking if dances were more frequent. The atmosphere which holds sway during the dance week ' ends may be described best by the word charm. There is a personality — if we may use the term — to each dance which begins with its announcement and develops as plans for it are completed. The culmination comes at the dance itself when hundreds of Notre Dame men lead their guests on to the floor. Girls from every state in the Union have been the guests on these occasions. The ma ' jority come from nearby colleges; there is always a large number of girls from far away cities. Girl from home is a familiar expression at Prom or Ball time. The Senior Ball of May is the most elaborate social event of the spring, and is the climax of the events of the year. The Junior Prom is second in distinction and magni ' tude only to the Ball. It is the high light of the winter social season. The Sophomore Cotillion, the third of the class dances, completes the trio. Other noteworthy campus formals are given by the members of the Knights of Columbus, Monogram Club and the Law Club. Many city and sectional clubs have adopted the practice of presenting Christ ' mas and Easter dances in other cities. Social functions on the campus are under the supervision of the Faculty Dance com ' mittee. Dean James E. McCarthy is chairman, and Professor Paul Fenlon is secretary of the body. They are aided in this work by a subsidiary group, the dance committee of the Student Activities Council.

The purpose of the committee is to better student life and activity at the University, while exercising a su ' pervisory control over all student organi2;ations and activities, and to co ' Operate with the University authorities in the handling of student problems. During the football season, the S. A. C. is the main organization to which student attention is directed. Parades and pep-meetings are as much a part of student life as foot ' ball games and classes. And well may the Council point with pride to the major demon ' strations it sponsored this year. The Stadium Dedication ceremony and the Victory Pa ' rade on the return of the football team from Southern California were events which the Notre Dame student will always remember. Details were carried to an end, and the end was an exhibition of spirit and animation which marked the peak of a season of intense activity. Vernon Knox ]ames Collins William Hani in Maurice Lee Jerome Reidy Herbert Giorgio THE DOME OF 1931 John Saunders Vincent Cavanaugh Edward Dailey Russell Leonard i The long months following Christmas, however, experienced the depression known to the business world. The boxing tournament, to be sponsored by the S. A. C, and of great interest to the entire student body, failed to materialize. This event, inaugurated last year, met with such strong approval of the students that we thought it would be come a Notre Dame tradition. Just why the tournament was not conducted this year has been a favorite topic of discussion on the campus. Maybe the Council was not wholly at fault. The student trip, an annual function of the S. A. C, brought several hundred stu ' dents to Chicago for the Army game. This must be recorded as one of the successful ventures of the year in spite of the rainy weather during that week-end, and the fact that the students were assessed four dollars for tickets to what they considered a home game. The S. A. C. football dance held at the Knights of Columbus Hall was a social, and we hope, a financial success. The S. A. C. exercises a supervisory direction over all campus dances, and also conducts the class elections, insuring comparative order and equity. Timothy E. Benits;, a senior in the College of Arts and Letters, served as President of the Council, and also represented Notre Dame at the tenth annual session of the Mid ' West Conference of Universities, of which organization he is President. Edward Madden Louis Esposito Robert Ruppe Walter Kelley Ralph Dalton Joseph Kearney Treasurer Page 239 m m THE DOME OF 1931 9: Knights of Columbus Principles and ideals as old as the Order, carried on by a new set of officers each year, have marked the progress of the Notre Dame Council of the Knights of Columbus from the time of its inception to the present. With its end of making each member a better Cath ' olic and a better man always in view, the local Knights have branched out during the past year until their Council has advanced beyond the scope of any other campus organization. Grand Knight Louis Buckley has succeeded in mak ' ing the meetings more informal without losing any of the solemnity of the Order. The Council Chambers in Walsh Hall has become the meeting place of the mem ' bers, rather than just the place where meetings are held. Entertainment and refreshments for each meeting have been capably supplied by Bourke Motsett, chairman of the house committee. In keeping with the other phases of its work, the Council has advanced along social lines until it has no superior on the campus. An evidence of this was shown to the gen ' eral student body on February 4 when the Knights presented their Winter Formal. C. Bourke Motsett, general chairman of the Formal, collaborated with the minor chairmen and committeemen to present one of the finest dances of the year. A concentrated effort to relieve the poor of the district was carried on by the Council during the entire year. Donations were first made through the Prefect of Religion.

Baskets of food were also distributed at dif ' ferent times throughout the year. Since the Council weis organized in 1910 it has worked toward the erection of its own building on the campus. A sinking fund was established for this pur ' pose years ago, and this is increased yearly by the sur ' plus accruing from the activities of the Council. No definite date has been set as the year of the building, but it is hoped by the local Knights that the erection will take place in the next few years. The Santa Maria, one of the most prominent of Council magazines within the Order, was published un ' der the editorship of John Bergan. He was assisted in the work by James Kearney, asso ' ciate editor; Eli Abraham, business manager, and Raymond Nabor, circulation manager.

VaJP ' a.J ' ' --v « -- Page241 XH-E DOME OF 1931 Scribblers EMIL TELFEL President The literary traditions and honors of Notre Dame are the sacred trusts which are confided to the hands of the Scribblers. This select group has among its mem ' hers the editors of Scrip, the Juggler, and the Scholastic. George M. Spalding, its most prominent short story writer, was the winner of a national contest sponsored this year by one of the country ' s foremost magazines. Amid the Bohemian surroundings of Howard Hall ' s rec room the Scribblers hold forth every Wednesday evening. There they engage in discussions, usually, but not always of a literary nature, from the after ' dinner hour until their minds are weary, or until the passing of time requires an adjournment. Papers of all sorts are read: stories, essays, sketches, dramas, poems. Criti- cism is strong, and spicily flavored with sarcasm. Argu ' ment is as heated as that at any Wranglers ' gathering. It is a matter of Scribbler history that no paper ever read to the club has been praised in the superlative. It is also tradi- tional that all condemnation be made in nothing but the superlative. The most prolific member of the Scribblers, in a creative way, was George M. Spald- ing, already mentioned. He turned out short stories at the rate of two and three each week. Toward the end of the year he became somewhat over-ambitious and tried his hand at some very free verse which was rather unkindly received by his fellow writers, espe- cially those with a love for poetry. Probably the most brilliant and most successful writer and literary critic in the club was the Reverend Francis B. Thornton, who already has two published books of poems, to his credit. President Emil L. Telfel ' s papers always created a furore, and were consistently at- tacked. His ironically realistic stories, etched in acid, were rarely to the liking of the Joseph McCahe Fran Seward John Cooper Richard O ' Donnell Louis Hasley Page 242 «o THE DOME OF 1931 Scribblers; nor were his equally ironic and acid critical comments. Louis A. Brennan and Joseph McCabe were noted for the intensity and power of their stories. In the be ' ginning both were ultra-realistic writers; toward the end of the year Brennan more or less broke away from the realistic tradition. McCabe was furthermore noted as being the comedy relief of the club. His remarks, interjected at psychologically opportune moments, gen- erally had a devastating effect on the most heated argu ' ment. The realists in the club were well balanced by some members who could be classed as romanticists, others who were classicists, and still others who just wrote. Frank E. Seward and Louis Heitger wrote romantic plays and stories and phantasies that were hauntingly beautiful and wistful; Louis A. Hasley contributed finely chiseled poetry, mellow, short stories, and sane, smoothly written critical essays. Richard J. O ' Donnell always had the quality of clever, unruffled suavity, in his writings and in the discussions. Francis X. Nulty wrote schol ' arly, rigidly classical essays and charming, impressionistic critical papers; while Francis X. O ' Malley and John Cooper both wrote romantically — the former in a fluid, poetic style, the latter in a dashing, vigorous vein. John E. Dempsey, while he did not attend as many meetings as the others, read several highly involved stories and a few humorous essays. Joseph Carroll — one of the few fresh ' men ever to be elected to the club — wrote poetry of a high beauty (he being probably the third best poet in the club) and critical essays, surprising in their charm and maturity of thought. In accordance with an established precedent, the Sci-ibblers held their annual short story and poetry contests this year. LOUIS BRENNAN Secretary Louis Heitger John Dempsey Philip de Roulet Fran O ' Malley Fran Hulty Page 243 THE DOME OF 1931 WrangI EDWARD PHELAN President ers The Wranglers may well look back on this year with great satisfaction, for was not the interhall debate season more successful than ever before? Did not men from their ranks fill many of the places on the varsity debating team? Were not their meetings both lively and interesting? Did they not succeed in holding their quota of banquets? The Wranglers is the only honorary forensic soci ' ety on the campus and its membership is selected from among a number of applicants who have participated in debating or oratorical contests. Its constitution lim ' its its membership to twenty, but at no time has the number exceeded sixteen. Although the Wranglers do not bear any direct relation to the varsity debating teams, nevertheless, they succeed in furnishing many of the men on the University team. In fact, the club has gained such an enviable position that varsity debaters deem it a distinct honor to be elected to the Wranglers. In its six years of being, the influence of the Wranglers ' Club in the arousing of for ' ensic interest has been ex tensive. During that period the Breen Medal contest, the Barry Medal competition, varsity debating, class oratorical contests, and interhall debating have found more candidates for the honors they bestow than before. Most commendable, too, is the fact that each of these has found not only members of the Wranglers numbered among its participants, but in most instances first honors have been bestowed on them. Their greatest activity, however, has besn the encouragement of freshman interhall debating. So phenomenal was the success of the interhall teams last year that the Wrang ' lers decided to continue activity in that field this year. Accordingly, Frank Noll was made general chairman of the Interhall League. J. Edward Phelan and Charles Hanna were assigned as coaches of the Brownson Hall team; John Driscoll, Neil Hurley, and Tim Benitz were given the mentorship of Howard Hall; James O ' Shaughnessy and John Wil ' son that of Carroll Hall, while William Kirby coached the Freshman Hall debaters. Timothy Benitz William O ' Malley Fran T oll James Keating Charles Hanna William Ktrby I THe DOME Oi= 1931 mm NEIL HURLEY Secretary Chairman Noll issued the call for interhall debaters early in October. Never before was the response so instantaneous: more than fifty freshmen signified their intention of participating. It was announced that the question would be, Resolved: that the states should adopt a system of compulsory unemployment insur- ance. During the months of November and Decem- ber the coaches assiduously organized the freshmen. In a series of four debates Howard Hall was finally viC ' torious. At a banquet given for the various interhall de- bating teams, President J. Edward Phelan presented the Lemmer Trophy, donated by Victor Lemmer, A.B., ' 26, to Rev. James W. Connerton, C.S.C., rector of Howard Hall, whose team h ad won the interhall cham- pionship. Several members of the Wranglers were speakers at the banquet, and President Phelan acted as toastmaster. During the course of his speech. Chair- man Frank Noll, told of the increased interest being taken in forensic activities by the freshman, and also exhorted them to join the Wranglers and further their oratorical ability. The weekly meetings of the Wranglers have a number of things in common: nothing is ever definitely decided, something is always accomplished, and members go back to their rooms unconvinced, sometimes even bitter. In that respect the members somehow resem- ble the illustrious Bourbons who forgot nothing. But to be serious, each week one of the members of the club gives a talk — anything from Red Russia to degraded America — and each of the Wranglers comments; and then there is a final rebuttal, devastating, insinuat- ing, trenchant, sometimes verbose, at other times cynical and mordant. The final outcome always is more Wrangling (disagreement) and less logic. J. Edward Phelan, president of the club; William Kirby, Tim Benitz, and Frank Noll will graduate from the College of Arts and Letters this year, while James Keating and William O ' Malley graduate from the Law School. The other members of the club are: Neil Hurley, secretary; Charles Hanna, John Driscoll, James O ' Shaughnessy, John Wil- son, Thomas O ' Meara, Francis Cawley, Roger Bierne, and John Pick.

THE DOME OF 1931 4 Spectators ALFRED STEFAN President The Spectators is a unique organization — unique in many ways. It is unusual in its object; it is singular in its men; it is exceptional in its meetings, and it is emi ' nently successful in the fulfillment of its purpose. It was only with the greatest difficulty that Al Stepan (incidentally it is rumored on campus that he can talk, intelligently, on any subject from Darius to dominoes for at least two hours) held the leashes and restrained the members from arguing subjects not ger ' mane to those outlined in the constitution of the Spec tators; for, according to that instrument, members are limited to discussing current events and developments in the arts, sciences, philosophy, sociology, politics, reli ' gion, and like fields. Papers, two of which are read and controverted at each meeting, ranged this year from censorship, opera and the stock market to justice, Mangan, world peace and Ibsen. Represented in the organization may be found almost every school of thought that ever existed — and undoubtedly some that never did exist; in it may be found crusaders for every movement and followers of every man. Megarians disagree with Hedonists and Eclectics fight positivists; humanists find opposition in the Thomists while the sup ' porters of Turner cast fiery eyes upon the admirers of Picasso; Wagner is lauded and Bach defamed; Ricardo substantiated and Malthus maligned. Every member is privileged to set forth his own opinion, but always it is subject to the vitriolic comments of the clubmen. There is, however, so the Spectators confess, one creed forbidden, the Budd ' hists. At one time the club experienced considerable difficulty because three of its mem ' bers, following too closely a talk on the Guama and his bunyan tree, projected themselves into a trance and were awakened only with the greatest difficulty. The results of patient scholarship and assiduous research were evidenced in the meet ' ings of the club. Nor were the gatherings drab professor ' like presentations of ideas. At times opinion ran so high, opposition was so antagonistic, supporters so passionate, de ' I Austin Boyle John Hic ey William Karl Charles Miltner Richard O ' Donnell Page 246 f ► fm THE DOME OF 19 31 fences so mordant, criticisms so devastating, that even the humanist wing had difficulty in maintaining decorum and poise. Comprehensive in its purpose, free in its discussion, unfettered in its presentation of views, the Spectators is a distinct contribution to intellectual life at Notre Dame. We have said that the Spectators is unique in its membership. And it is that, indeed. Each man excels in some one field, and each may be easily characterized: Al Stepan, interested in opera and world events, is discursive and analytical; Tim Benitz; dispassionate; there is the persuasive Dick O ' Donnell with his inter ' pretation of Sinclair Lewis; Calm, keen Charley Milt ' ner; fiery Ray Smith, a man of the world; John Hickey comes forth with his sociological field work; witty Boyle always is scholarly, but never pedantic; Dan Williams, successfully blends practicability and culture; William Karl, with rare insight, is conversant about Beethoven and Chopin; Thad Xelowski sits back spinning silken sophistries; John Pick, cynical and ironical, delves into Nietzsche; virulent and bitter Judge Telfel replies. The Spectators are the youngest of that select trio of genuinely selective societies: the Scribblers, the Wranglers and themselves. There are some who say that, like most youngsters, the club can raise its voice more loudly, more petulantly than the other two. The Spectators was founded in 1929 and Thomas Keegan was first president. In 1930, Louis Hasley became president of the group to lead it through a splendid year. In March the following members were elected to the organization: Kenneth Kreps, a junior in the College of Commerce, and Nicholas Kalmes, a junior in the College of Arts and Letters; Robert J. Fhnt and Edmund A. Stephan, both sophomores in the College of Arts and Letters. TIMOTHY BENITZ Secretary Thaddeus Xelows i Daniel Williams Emil Tel{el Ramon Smith John Pic II Page 247 THE DOME OF 1931 The Blue Circl EDWARD MADDEN Chairman ircie The undergraduate manual comes to our aid in answer to the question, What and why is the Blue Circle? It is a co ' operative body, and serves as a sub ' sidiary to the S. A. C. The function of this organi2;a ' tion is to work on student celebrations and kindred activities. It fosters all things that are truly Notre Dame in spirit. We know now what it is, and why it exists, and although the awakening was rude we were glad to know that the Blue Circle was more than a tradition. As its major activity of the year, the Blue Circle sponsored silent cheering, an innovation of student spirit at Notre Dame. Whatever the effect, or what ' ever student opinion, no one can say that the Blue Circle did not work industriously on this project. It was no easy task to plan stunts with the colored cards to give each of 819 men a definite assignment, and to provide each with a ticket which had to be secured from the athletic office. It was not the fault of the Blue Circle that the student body did not react with the proper spirit, or that the desired effect of their work was not realized. Too much praise cannot be given Blue Circle Chairman Ed Madden and his knights for their work. As for the personnel of the Blue Circle, we can say that membership is appointive. Selection is made by the Chairman of the Blue Circle, the President of the S. A. C, and the members of the latter organization. We quote another of our contemporary publi ' cations which states: It is an honor and a mark of distinction for a Notre Dame man to become a member of the Blue Circle. Chief among the activities of the Circle is the Vigilance Committee. Reminiscent of pioneer days in the wild western communities, this group is the official preserver of No- tre Dame traditions. In this capacity, it seeks out erring underclassmen and delivers due punishment. This may be in the form of a severe reprimand by the august council, or it may be the sterner way — a ducking in the lake. f f 1 ' Mm m iO ' I THE DOME OF 1931 A. 1. E. E.

Both students and faculty members have done much to develop that interest. Honorary president of the organization was Mr. Kuntz while Mr. Kohlbrenner was faculty advisor.

Kearney Rudd Page 266 f mmmm 4 i T H DOME OF 1931 5 Clubs at Notre Dame W. Leslie Raddatz, now known as Leslie Raddatz, is responsible for resurrecting the corpse of Campus Club news and putting it on its feet again. This was done much to the edification of most club presidents who disliked the constant editorial goading at the hands of Raddatz, who saw no reason why activity should end with the Christmas dance. His Scholastic club page has been always fascinating, and his recent rotogravure section has been appalling. Here he wntes in his familiar Time style of clubs at the university. h A group of fraternities repelling each other about a common center — thus has someone defined a university. Like most definitions of its kind, this is not true. In the case of Notre Dame it is especially untrue. Clubs Notre Dame may have, but fraternities none. Neither do the clubs repel each other. Rather they work together to bring mem ' bers closer to each other and to the University. Notre Dame men have long discussed fraternities. Astonishing was the unpopular ' ity of the subject. Various observers have given the fighting fraternities at other col ' leges as a reason for this. Whatever the real cause may be, much it has done to make Notre Dame the democratic, clos elyknit unit that it is today. Many are the activities of the average campus club. Prime function of all of them is, of course, to bring their members together at frequent intervals. It is easy among so many students to lose trace of home town friends or never to meet men from the same district. This condition the clubs counteract. Men from Rochester, Texas, or the Pacific coast meet every two weeks to discuss news of school and home. Varying the monotony of winter are club ' sponsored banquets, smokers, athletic contests. Big event of the year, however, for every campus club is its annual Christmas dance. This dance it is that members look forward to during the fall, look back on all winter. The dance is the final link in the chain that clubs form to bring their members together. To meet men at gatherings on the campus is easy. At home it may be more difficult. Aim of every Christmas dance is the overcoming of this difficulty. As varied as their activities are the clubs themselves. From Chicago ' s big group to the little Auburn Club, they are all sizes. Cities, states, districts, they cover all areas. Head of all campus clubs is the Presidents ' Council, founded two years ago. In it are all the presidents of Notre Dame ' s forty clubs. Under Presidents ' President Joseph Deeb of Grand Rapids, the Council meets to exchange suggestions on club management, to discuss club problems. Thus, under this unified control, have clubs at Notre Dame become a real power, a force to be reckoned with in any discussion of the University. O l £CSS TH DON IE OF 1931 I JOSEPH DEEB President The Presidents Council Two years ago the Presidents ' Council was founded b y Robert Hellrung, then chaif man of the Student Activities Council. In its first year of existence it did little. Dur ' ing the past term, however, the Council has accomplished something that will mean much to Notre Dame ' s clubs in the future. Last fall the members of the Council met under their president, Joseph Deeb, of Grand Rapids, and settled upon a complete schedule for the meetings of every organization on the campus.

THE DOME OF 1931 Athletics at Notre Dame Jack Kiener is a journalist at large in the best sense of the word. He came to Notre Dame with a reputation for gathering sport details and dis- tributing them well. And it looks at present as though he would leave Notre Dame in a year with a fine record in that line. He has been the bard of the gridiron immortals; and that post at Notre Dame is a worthy one. Here he writes of the great system of sports at Notre Dame and what it means to the individual. (( I The pages of Notre Dame athletic history are lined deeply with the names of immortals; immortals who have put the name of Notre Dame on the lips of every sports ' loving fan. Notre Dame and athletics have thus become synonymous in the sense that they spell success. Success in every form of the word — for success consists in doing one ' s best and No ' tre Dame ' s athletes always strive to do their best. The stalwart sons of the gridiron who won their second successive national title did their best, and won the nation ' s praise. The basketball team, the track men, the baseball nine, the tennis players, and all the others, do their work well, too, perhaps not in the same astounding manner as do the men of the gridiron. Their praise is the kind that comes for courage, tenacity, endurance, leader ' ship and inspiration. The goal of every Notre Dame athlete should be a combination of the aforementioned qualities. It is a hard and difficult task because the athlete has a double burden to bear — an intellectual and a physical one. He must not only keep his body in perfect condition but also his mind. His studies are paramount and if he falls below the average he loses his rights to compete. In interhall athletics are these fine characteristics apt to be seen. Here there is little glory to be had, except that derived from bringing honor to the individual ' s hall. The sterling qualities of manhood — courage, tenacity, endurance, leadership and inspiration — are brought out best in interhall competition. Immortals. There are immortals and there are more immortals. But there are few immortals in Notre Dame athletic history quite like those who have risen from the ranks of hall teams — campus idols who seldom make the pages of our cosmopolitan newspa ' pers but who do carve niches for themselves in the campus hall of fame. And quite like the unsung heroes of the hall teams are the men who fight for posi ' tions on the varsity teams, not good enough to displace the regulars but able to stand up and mix with the best of them. They show courage, tenacity, and endurance. Their job is no sinecure. They have nothing to be recogni2;ed by except their ability and their past laurels are mere passing clouds. There is no room for the quitter and that is why Notre Dame ' s success has been so great in past years. Her athletic teams have been devoid of that self ' intoxicated character who is able to do nothing but fail in his duty. The fighting characteristics, common to Notre Dame, typify the success connected with her athletic ventures, for success consists in doing one ' s best — always.

The Board of Athletic Control has been or ' gani2;ed, as the name indicates, to act as a super- visory committee on all matters of sports at the University. The planning of Notre Dame ' s new stadium is the most recent accomplishment of the Board. Established in 1898, the Board assumed charge of the then budding athletic system at the Uni ' versity. During the first two decades of the twentieth century, sports passed from the sec- tional stage into national importance. To keep pace with this progress, the Board was reorganized in 1924.

Rockne Tributes to Knute Rockne, coach and direc- tor of athletics at Notre Dame, have been so numerous and so effusive, that the Dome pre- fers to say Httle and let the following pages tell the story of his success. In the acclamation of Rockne as a great coach, it is frequently forgotten that he was primarily a great player. In 1913 and 1914, he was end on one of the most imaginative teams that the University has developed. With Dorais, at quarterback, Rockne introduced the forward pass into modern football. Trivial now, but significant points in the Rockne career are the facts that he was a pole- vaulter of ability and a cornet ' player with the University band before the gridiron called him. Most Americans are rather glad that he an- swered the call. Contemporaries The Well-House at the University of Indiana.

Just before the game the following day, a short but impressive ceremony took place, with Raising of the flag followed the address. There is provided in the stadium a total seating capacity for iiftyfour thousand four hundred people, exclusive of the players and of the press reporters ' seats.

The length of the stadium is 670 feet and the width is 480 feet. The dis ' tance around the outside wall is about 2,000 feet. The structure is designed strictly for football. The curved stand, a new idea in stadium construc- tion, gives the maximum amount of seats between the goal posts. It also faces everybody toward the center of the field rather than at right angles to it, as in the case of other rectangular stands. In the stadium proper there are sixty rows of seats set about thirty feet from the playing field, and are behind the 224 boxes which accommodate six people in each box. The press stand, modern in every detail, available through a private press entrance and a separate stairway, accommodates two hundred and sixty-two reporters with con- venient desks fitted with telegraph jack connections, so arranged through a switchboard as to make possible direct wire connections to any part of the United States.

J. Arthur Haley, Business Man- ager of Athletics, is the person. J. Arthur Haley was included in the graduat ' ing class of 1926, and the following year he began his duties as graduate manager of Athletics. He has been in that capacity for the past four years. The job of handling tickets for all of the No ' tre Dame football games is not the only thing that the capable Mr. Haley has to his credit. Assisting in the finance plan of a football stadium at Notre Dame and looking after the details of the other sports, — basketball, baseball, and track, — also re- quire considerable of his time. Most articles on Mr. Haley refer to the fact that he is constantly being assailed for fifty ' yard ' line tickets. That is a mistake. People have been known to ask for forty ' yard and fortyfivcyard tickets as well. J.

Page 306 i THe DOME OF 1931 y Managerial System To provide a great football team with supplies and equip ' ment, both at home and on the road, is a large task. All the wants and needs of Notre Dame ' s athletes are cared for by an efficient group of seemingly omnipotent persons who are called managers. They are the men behind the scenes . . . men who make plans, carry out details, perform odd jobs, and bear their own special burdens without any particular reward of fame. These energetic fellows spend many hours each day in the gym and on the practice field, because daily practice in various sports requires their constant attention. Equipment must be provided and cared for; the wants of player and coach filled at once. In their own way, they play an important part in the sport success of the school. After four years of faithful service, they certainly deserve a monogram in recognition of their work. Assisting Head Manager Dan Halpin this year were: John Saunders and Joseph Lauerman in football; John Hughes in basketball; Robert Balfe, Bourke Motsett and Thomas Ashe in the spring sports. Junior managers this year included: John Grams, Charles Spannenburg, Charles Weiss, John Ross, John Colville, and Joseph McKeon. To these men next year will go the positions left vacant by the seniors. The entire managerial system is a well ' balanced, definite pyramid of workers. Ap ' prentices, sub-managers, and workers — the members of the system remind one of the feudal program.

Playing from 1902 until 1905, Salmon ' The Mighty, captained the team that could not be scored upon. Not long after Salmon came two men who were stars, Red Miller and Pete Vaughan. This duo starred from 1906 to 1910 and but three games were dropped. No sooner had this pair been graduated than appeared three whose names will ever exist in football history— Knute Rockne, Charley Dorais, and Ray Eichenlaub. The forward pass, their chief weapon, became what it is today, mainly through Rock and Dorais. A I I ELMER LAYDEN GEORGE GIPP HARRY STUHLDREHER Page 310 t w m ci . THE DOME OF 1931 In 1917, Rockne in his first year as head coach, discovered a find who has been known to every student entering the school in the last decade as The Immortal. George Gipp played for three years and made every all ' American selection. Four years later there occurred what was prob ' ably the smoothest working combination in existence and at the quarterback position was All- American Harry Stuhldreher. From 1922 until 1924 he earned his title as one of the greatest of field generals. From 1925 until 1927, Notre Dame placed three men on the All ' American eleven: Bud Boeringer, Christie Flanagan, and John Clipper Smith. Not on championship teams, these three made Notre Dame football history through individual perform ' ances. In 1929 Rockne developed his second national championship eleven and on this team was one who has been termed the greatest of modern linemen. Jack Cannon, a guard who played without a headgear, was an ever colorful figure on the field. With this year ' s championship team, pictured below, Notre Dame football had its second climax. The world wonders what will happen next year. Already, there is talk of another Carideo, another Savoldi, or another Elder. Brilliant men have been stars in the University ' s gridiron firmament; greater ones may come. This article has selected a few of the immortals. It has made no attempt to ana ' lyze past teams, or to compare Gipp and Chevigny, Cannon or Clipper Smith. Neither has it repeated the oft ' told story of the rise of Notre Dame football, for the Dome firmly believes that everyone who really cares knows all about it now. The significant part of the Aeneid is Aeneas; the essence of Hamlet is Ham ' let. So the significant things in Notre Dame ' s gridiron history have been the heroes. As bard of the band of Rockne ' s men, the Dome adds a page to speak of the past stars. JACK CANNON J930 Championship Team. Kos y and Culver Were First-String Men, in Place of O ' Brien and McManmon mm TH£ DOME OF 1931 Coaches Although Rockne was handicapped by a leg injury during the greater part of the 1929 season, he returned this past fall with undiminished vigor to produce another national championship team. Never was the Rockne system of football more impressive than during this last sea ' son. Behind the work of Anderson, Chevigny, Voedisch, Moynihan, and the other coaches, there was always the guiding hand of the Rock of football. ' ' Scattered all over the country at the leading colleges and prep schools are Rockncdeveloped coaches, and the Rockne system is universally popular. At Notre Dame this system has won two national championships in a row and three in the last decade. Notre Dame had its first football coach in 1896, when Frank Hering, captain of that team, was appointed. He served in that capacity for three years after his graduation. During his regime, the teams won 18 and lost nine games. After Hering came Pat O ' Dea, Jim Faragher, Lou Salmon, Henry McGrew, Tom Barry, Victor Pease, Frank Longman and L. H. Marks. 1913 saw Jesse Harper at the helm. Again the Blue and Gold were undefeated. Inter- sectional games were introduced for the first t me at Notre Dame. Penn State, Army, and Texas were played.

Tommy Yarr appear to have the pivot job pretty well ' stovued nway tut Frank Butler, huge sopho- more, is giving him plenty of trouble. Agnew, Gorman, and Cavanaugh nre also bat ' ling for the honor. Jumping Joe Savoldi an Mucins are having a livdy their own at fullback due development of the Oaks i:il3 a on pjsses. 1930 The crisp, dear au ' tumnal days have long passed by, but memories of an immortal Notre Dame team live on. It is a well known fact that when we are in the midst of great things we very seldom fully appreciate them. So it is with the 1930 football team. Now, when we look back, it appears greater than ever before. Green against Southern Methodist, vastly improved against Carnegie Tech, unbeatable when playing Southern California, it was a team which passed through several stages of rapid development. In September the staunchest supporter shook his head at the schedule; in October we were given a lone chance of finishing the season undefeated; in November the football world went wild over a group of young athletes who were beginning to realise that they could more than hold their own against the best teams in the land. Then the crowning achievement came with that overwhelming victory out on the Pacific coast. Masterful coaching, beautiful teamwork, and an unbeatable spirit account for Notre Dame ' s national championship. An inspiring leader and a gentleman in every sense of Page 314 M h i m v ©OS THE DOME; OF 1931 the word, Tom Conley was an ideal captain. Kosky at the other end, cool and steady, could seldom be taken out of a play. At the tackle posts, Al Cul ' ver and Joe Kurth were like two giant pillars, immovable. Grantland Rice de- scribed the two guards, Bert Met2,ger and Tom Kassis, as two cannon balls. Yarr, at the center position, was the most improved player on the team. A fighter at heart, he has well earned the honor bestowed upon him by his team- mates, who have elected him next year ' s captain. About the backfield little can be added to what has been said over and over again. Carideo, Brill, Schwartz, Savoldi, and MuUins were super-men in football togs. A book could be written on each one of them. A good deal of praise must also be given to the shock troops, who, with a year ' s more tutelage under the master Rockne, will be future varsity men. So passes into history a never-to-be-forgotten team. Many have tried to compare it with the Four Horsemen team of 1924 and with the national champions of 1929. The best comparison, which was hardly a comparison at all, was given by Coach Rockne him- self, who said that the best offensive team was the 1924 group, the best defensive team the 1929 aggregation, while the 1930 team sSowed the best co-ordination. Why not let it pass with that? Tangible proof of worth is hardly necessary in the light of such success, but the Uni- versity was presented with the Albert Erskine Award (a huge silver cup), and the Riss- man Trophy (a plaque) immediately after the return of the team from Southern Cali- fornia. In both schemes of rating winners, Notre Dame was far ahead of Southern Cali- fornia and Alabama, its closest rivals. Movie Cameras Weicotne the Team on Its Return from Southern California.

Playing regular on a national championship team at 154 pounds is great but when the man is a lineman worthy of all ' American honors, the football world marvels. MARCHMONT SCHWARTZ When the Literary Digest picked a con- census team from the choices of fifteen lead ' ing all ' American teams, the left halfback po ' sition was occupied by Marchy Schwartz on eleven of the teams. Probably the most dan- gerous climax runner of the year, Schwartz led all the other members of the team in scoring.

MARTIN BRILL When enemy tacklers saw this giant lead ' ing Schwartz on one of his ofF ' tackle slants, they must have felt weak. Undoubtedly the greatest blocker of 1930, Martin Brill was unusually fast for his great sise. Always alert in backing up the hne on defense, Marty richly deserved the halfback post on the all ' American board team.

Hayes Notre Dame Stadium, South Bend, Ind., Oct. 4.— Horsemen they are, and truly great. But they found this business of breaking a wild, snorting mustang vastly differ- ent from handling a saddle horse, and it was only after one of the fiercest battles in Midwestern gridiron history that Knute Rockne ' s famed riders managed to subdue Ray Morrison ' s galloping steeds, 20 to 14, before a crowd of 22,000 football enthusiasts who jammed Notre Dame ' s new stadium here today. But for a bit over ' anxious ' ness the Mustangs would have emerged with a tie. But, of course, that ' s an if and it ' wouldn ' t be just to the 1929 national champions to oifer any alibi. Indeed, the Ponies need none for their showing, for it was a morale story for the Herd, this 20 to 14 struggle these two great elevens waged today. The Mustangs had been ruled as under ' dogs by no less than four or five touchdowns by the cream of grid experts in this section — and those same experts gasped in awe, swal ' lowed their gum and nearly choked as they watched the sensational Red and Blue warriors strut their aerial stuff before the thrilled fans. But, as we say, the Mustangs gained, in a measure, a victory. And Texas, and the Southwest, may well be proud of the valiant band of Lone Star lads who invaded this man ' s country and battled the best team in the nation in 1929 to a standstill.

Piercing through the Navy ' s defense when all the rest of Knute Rockne ' s fa- mous shock troops failed, Savoldi made the dedication ceremonies for the new sta- dium a perfect one by leading Notre Dame to a 26 ' tO ' 2 vie tory over the Middies. Three times did Gallop- ing Joe crash through andj around the Navy wall fori touchdowns, and many more times did he back up a stag- ger ing line with a brand of unbeatable defensive play. The rest of the Irish, at last with a new home of their own, did their share and two others joined in the scoring, but Savoldi stood out of the fight like a man mountain. Forty thousand fans, who came to cheer Rockne and the stadium he built, turned their cheers for Savoldi. He was the first hero of the new stadium. Navy ' s best chance came late in the final period, when a bad punt by Koken trav- eled only fifteen yards to Notre Dame ' s 20-yard line. Gannon and Kirn punched their way to the seven-yard line, but were stopped. Nearly 50,000 people crowded into the new stadium to see the warriors of the Green open a new era in their football history. -V%Jt-«- ' ED KOSKY . . .

NOTRE DAME DEFEATS CARNEGIE TECH, 21 TO 6 By Irving Vaughan Notre Dame, Ind., Oct. 18. ■ — The large ' limbed football youths of Notre Dame came through again today. The gloomy outlook their own coach had pictured to them didn ' t materialize. They sim ' ply ripped into and around Carnegie Tech, one of the na- tion ' s best football aggrega ' tions, and after sixty freezing, sunless, active minutes before 25,000 triumphed over their old foe by 21 to 6. The so ' called Fighting Irish, who didn ' t have a Son of Erin in their backfield when the start was made, didn ' t bend in the line as was feared. The forward wall ac tually outplayed the Scots ' three ' year veterans. And the blue and gold clad backs of the home troops ripped, ran, squirmed, and passed their way to three touchdowns, whereas the embryo engineers from Pittsburgh never threat ' ened except when Howard Eyth split open the field and dashed dazzlingly for a touch ' down some 70 yards distant. By that time Notre Dame was so safe that a lone scoring episode by the enemy meant nothing. The scoring, in its sequence, came after a stirring first period in which Tech seemed to have all the qualities with which it had been credited. In this session there was only one threat of a serious nature. The Fighting Irish charged within scoring distance and were called back because the officials observed a violation of the rules. But in the second quar ' ter Notre Dame bounced up with two touchdowns for a 14 to lead. The Scots came through with their lone score in the third quarter, and, to top it oif, Notre Dame, in the same period, scored the points that made it 21 to 6. In the main it was a well diversified backfield which had the canny Scots guessing and it was the variety of the attack that eventually accounted for the victor ' s three touchdowns.

A record crowd of better than 70,000, which filled the Stadium to overflowing, sat stunned as the green ' clad Irish backfield and hard ' charging, perfectlydrilled hne brushed aside the hopeless Panthers. Then, reahzing that a great football team was performing before their eyes, recognizing in it one of the greatest that has ever played in Pittsburgh, set off salvo after salvo of thunderous cheers fitting as a salute to the great football ma ' chine that Rockne has built this year. Pitt emerged from the game with the glory and re ' j spect that always attend aj fighting eleven, and in a madj orgy of belated scoring in the final period, salvaged 19 points from the wreckage, landing three touchdowns. Notre Dame left little to be desired as it muscled its way through Pitt for five touch ' downs in the first half. The Carideo ' Schwartz-Brill ' Mullins and Savoldi combination was too perfect for Pitt. Usually formidable in the line, the Panthers were woefully weak yesterday, and until Rockne replaced his first-stringers with shock troops, the Irish did about as they pleased.

Three of the touchdowns were made on long runs and a third dash by Schwartz for 78 yards lacked but two of bringing a third. Savoldi opened the scoring with a 35 ' yard run after four minutes of the second half. Schwartz added another less than five minutes later on a 22 ' yard sprint. Marty Brill broke into the scoring for the first time in his two years of play for No ' tre Dame when he added the last two touchdowns, one to complete the distance Schwartz began, and the other a few minutes later on a 3 3 ' yard run. Carideo booted three of four tries for extra points after touchdown. The Irish outrushed their opponents, four to one, rambling to a total of 405 yards from scrimmage while Indiana gained 96. A crowd of only 18,000 saw the down ' state men battle the Irish.

Led by Martin Brill, the ultimate in the . local-boy makes ' good class, the mighty Irish routed the Penn gridmen by a final tally of 60 ' 20, while more than 80,000 wildly par tisan fans shouted themselves hoarse. If Notre Dame expected to hold Penn scoreless, there was disappointment for the visitors, for Carl Perina, Red and Blue fullback, twice crossed the Notre Dame goal line, and CoUis went across once. The other Notre Dame touchdowns were scored by Carideo, Schwartz,, Savoldi, Mullens, O ' Connor, and Ko ' ken. Carideo kicked five out of six extra points and brought his season ' s average up to eighteen out of twentytwo. Captain Conley, who left Philadelphia four years ago as one of the best prep school athletes in the city, came back as captain of Notre Dame and showed the folks just why he was the captain. Although there was no occasion for him to do any of his famous pass receiving, he gave a great exhibition of line play. CoUis and Perina were responsible for the Penn team ' s 73 yards, while only the smooth coordination of the Rockne backfield and line can account for the 567 yards polled by Notre Dame.

Stahr Always to be depended upon for a slashing, interest ' ing ball game, Drake ' s Bull ' dogs rewarded some 15,000 of the faithful with a sturdy ex ' hibition out at the stadium Saturday; but the sturdiness of the Des Moines crew was overmatched against the bril ' hance that is Notre Dame ' s and the inevitable result was written in the figures, 28 to 7. It was not the most excit ' ing game of the seven through which the current Irish team has swept on its devastating course, but neither was it the dullest. As has, lamentably, been the case all season, the Notre Dame first stringers were needed to provide every bit of the Irish advantage, and the classic thrusts of the regu ' lars produced many of the thrills. Not all, though. Dan Hanley, a rough ' riding, high ' kicking cowboy from Butte, Mont., a sophomore making; his first start in varsity com-; petition, cut loose with three scintillating runs, one of which produced the first Notre Dame touchdown. Notre Dame ' s touchdowns, three of them, especially, were of that explosive, sudden ' death type that have come to be the trade ' mark of this year ' s team more than of any other. Hanley sprinted 34 yards for his opening salute, Marty Brill scored the second as the di ' rect result of a 72 ' yard kick ' oif return by Marchy Schwartz. Mullins split the Drake line for six yards and the third score after a jerky but uninterrupted march in the third period, and Schwartz broke loose for a 46 ' yard jaunt to account for the final touchdown, in the last quarter.

U.. 14-0 By Warren Brown Northwestern, stronghold of the 1930 exemplification of Western Conference football, toppled before a last half rush of Rockne ' s ruthless raiders at Dyche Stadium yesterday, and the undefeated Notre Dame team rode to its eighth victory of the season, 14 to 0. Only once, and that al ' most as the half began, were the Wildcats past midfield, and then the determined at- tack of Rockne ' s raiders drove steadily toward its objective, the last white stripe on the Northwestern end of the field. TOMMY YARR Big Chief or J 93 1 For a time, carried per- haps by the momentum that had probably terrified Notre Dame adherents in the first half, the Wildcats put up a stubborn struggle. But the educated hoof of Frank Carideo, the like of which hadn ' t been seen previously in Dyche Stadium, bore the Wildcats steadily backward. With Carideo kicking to the 3, to the 1, and invariably inside the Wildcats ' lO ' yard line. Northwestern had no recourse but to kick back, and that as quickly as possible. Thus it came about that Notre Dame, in possession of the ball in the midst of the final period, plugged along until the Wildcats ' 28 ' yard line was reached. Here Marchmont Schwart2;, streaking around his own right end, scampered 28 yards for the touchdown that had been so long awaited. Carideo, the kicking genius, booted goal, and thereafter Northwestern ' s vaunted aer- ial attack was called into play. The Rockne raiders broke up or intercepted all of these, and on one of them, snatched by Kassis on Northwestern ' s 28-yard line, the setting was furnished for the second touchdown. Page 332 II T H e D O N I OF 19 3 1 Carideo almost got it, taking a pass from Schwartz, to be forced out of bounds on the Wildcats ' l-yard line. On the next play Dan Hanley crashed across for the score. And, as usual, Carideo kicked the goal. Frank Baker played one of the best games of the day. He turned every play but one, the first play of the game when Schwartz, went wide around him for fifteen yards, and he was down under punts like a streak. Captain Conley of Notre Dame did a fine job at the wing post, too. ,He caught several nice passes but just missed a long spiral which Schwartz winged at him late in the fourth quarter.

By Francis Wallace Soldiers Field, Chicago, Nov. 29. — While a dripping rain fell throughout the game, 120,000 people loo ' ked through a low, blue haze late this afternoon, forgot discom ' fort, hard times and personal troubles and let the rest of the world go by. An Army lad named Bro- shus, so unimportant his name did not appear on the pro- gram, had suddenly become the most important man in the universe to these 120,000 and the millions who looked with the eyes of the blind over the radio at the annual ArmyNo- tre Dame football classic. Dick King, substitute Army end, had just blocked Carideo ' s kick, followed it back over the goal line, with twentyone men in pursuit, and fallen upon it for an Army touchdown, which made the score 7 to 6. This dramatic play had quickly fol ' lowed a 54 ' yard run for a touchdown by Schwartz of Notre Dame and Carideo ' s place kick which had given the Irish a seemingly safe lead after 56 minutes of scoreless storming of the Army fort. Broshus had rushed in on the trailing wave of Army exultations. This was his spot. Army had a chance to keep its undefeated season intact by a tie that would have been glorious for Army after an afternoon of heroic defense of its goal against the relentless attack of a champion. The frustrated Irish eleven, apparently cheated by one of many breaks on a muddy field of a well deserved victory, strained at the goal line.

DOME OF 1931 tories, with its second national championship awaiting only a victory over the Trojan war horse, the quick crack of the whip of fate had suddenly Uned up the all ' Conquering team with its back to the wall. A tie would have constituted virtual defeat. Broshus caught the ball, took two quick steps forward, dropped the ball, lifted it with his toe as he had done so many times in quiet seclusion at the point. If his aim was true, nobody will ever know — the Irish line charged, swarmed through and over its opponents. The kick was blocked. Notre Dame had won its eighteenth consecutive game in two seasons and kept its record clean for the trip to California, and what now looks to be the most titantic struggle ever looming on the collegiate gridiron.

Notre Dame was prepared for everything Southern Cali ' fornia had to offer offensively or defensively. Southern Cali ' fornia went down in the dumps before the dazzling at ' tack of the Irish. The Trc jans, who looked so great against Stanford and Califor ' nia, could not figure out what was coming next as Quarter ' back Frank Carideo shuffled up the Irish plays. They were bamboozled utterly, and there you have the story. Startling the crowd with a touchdown in the first six minutes of play, the crippled Notre Dame maintained its supremacy throughout a spectacular but decidedly one sided contest in which the Trojans ' widely heralded offensive was bottled up almost all afternoon. Southern Cahfornia, which had rolled up the amazing total of 382 points in nine pre vious games, was thrown on the defensive in the first minute of play and they had to fight with their backs to the wall through the rest of the game.

Green jerseys swarm into Cartier Field and cavort about in the northeast cof ner. Two hundred and eightyseven freshmen have answered the first call of Coaches Bill Jones and Manny Ve2,ie. In this array are former high school stars, some of the pseudo ' variety, and other lads who have high ambitions of placing their names with those of Gipp, The Four Horsemen, Flannigan, and Elder. After a few weeks of hard practice, this number is reduced to eightyfive. The serious work of being pushed and smacked around by the Varsity is the lot of the freshmen gridder. Day after day, the poor yearhng finds himself competing against the toughest opposition in the country. One week the squad represents Southern Meth ' odist, the next. Northwestern, and then the Army, and so on through the season. The frosh have no sideline acclamation to inspire them. Their only consolation is the chance to earn a numeral sweater that will dazzle the girls in Hannibal or make the hot ' Stove league of Toelle sit up and take notice. Ed Krause, a big tackle from Chicago, was the most promising man on the squad. Other linemen close on his heels were Chapman, Canale, Devore, Frankhn, Alexander, and Rascher. To fill the shoes of MuUins, Savoldi, and Howard, Coach Anderson will find able men in Hagan, Leonard, Rinaldi, and Stancook. Other backfield aces of the freshmen squad were Boland, Furlong, Johnson, McGuff, Milinkovitch, and Michealson. Men who received numerals at the end of the season are: Alexander, Bomba, Buzo ' lits, Barstan, Bloesma, Boland, Cusick, Canale, Cashill, Carney, R. Chapman, J.

GEORGE KEOGAN Coach ' % JOHN HUGHES Manager sst, 6 0 Page 341 THE DOME OF 1931 The cagers pried the lid off the season by defeating Kalamazoo College, 26 to 15. The game itself was a bit ragged, but Notre Dame had enough offensive superiority to hold a lead that they gained early in the fray. Undoubtedly the individual star of the encounter was Ray DeCook, acting captain and center, who scored eleven points in the shape of four baskets and three com ' plimentary shots. Another feature of the game was the work of Johnson and Ferris, two newcomers, who seemed to fit in well with the Keogan style of play by some good floor ' work. — o — On January 3, however, a revamped, fighting Notre Dame basketball team came within an ace of gaining re ' venge on Northwestern at Evanston, but the Purple cagers finally managed to squeeze out a 20 to 17 triumph. It was Joe Reiff again, sophomore flash of the Wildcats, who stole the game out of the fire by his brilliant last minute work of sinking three field goals. Previous to this, brilliant work by Tommy Burns and Chuck Jaskwich had held Reiff scoreless during the entire evening before he staged his rally. The score at the inter ' mission stood at 6 all. However, opening the second half, Northwestern gained a brief advantage that faded before a Notre Dame rally which put the Big Ten representa ' tives three points to the bad. Here Reiff did his act and the scoring was over. It was just a case of too much Joe Reiff, sophomore BILL NEWBOLD wizard of Northwestern, in the second start of the Keoganites. The only newcomer on the Wildcats ' cage squad, Reiff did not wait long to show that he was per ' fectly at home with his more experienced mates. Twentysix points, the result of ten baskets and six free throws, constitute Reiff ' s scoring contribution to the Purple. Notre Dame held the lead only for a few moments early in the third period until the men of Coach Lonborg pulled away as the play progressed. Johnson and Baldwin were the mainstays of the Irish team in the devastating 29 to 44 contest. Reiff tallied fourteen consecutive points in the last frame, until the timer ' s klaxon ended the struggle. The Blue and Gold cagers lost their first road game of the season on December 1 5 by bowing to a strong Purdue squad by a 34 to 22 score. The last year ' s Big Ten champs cen ' tered their attack around Johnny Wooden and fairly dazzled the men of Keogan, who were powerless to stop the Boilermaker flash. Wooden ' s efforts for the evening amounted to 21 points, just one less than the Blue and Gold total. Yet despite the thoroughness of their defeat, Notre Dame showed im ' provement over their previous game with Northwestern. They worked in for frequent short shots, but failed to capitalize on their chances at the basket. Page 342 THE DOME OF 1931 I In its fourth game, Notre Dame met and decisively defeated the University of Pennsylvania cage squad on December 19. The score of 3149 hardly tells a true story of the fray. The Blue and Gold let loose a whirl ' wind attack in the opening minutes of play which fairly smothered the Quakers. Newbold and DeCook, playing their usual brilliant game, were the center of the Notre Dame offensive, con ' tributing 1 3 and 1 1 points, respectively. The home de ' fense, furthermore, functioned better than ever before this season. A revamped Notre Dame line ' up took the floor at the start of the game. Norb Crowe was in guard position and Schumaker replaced him at forward. Twelve men saw action in the game and an entire reserve team was playing when the timer ' s gun ended the hostilities. Led by Bill Newbold and Norb Crowe, Notre Dame ' s rejuven ated basketball team handed Illinois Wesleyan a 24 to 17 beating on the losers ' floor December 30. The superiority of the Notre Dame team was appa ' rent throughout the evening as their improved form car ' ried them well along in front throughout the game. One of the features of the Blue and Gold play was the appearance of Joe Gavin in the roll of guard. The dimin ' utive ex ' forward was shifted to hold down the post occu ' pied by Crowe in the Penn game. The losers were able to amass only the meagre total of three field goals. RAY DeCOOK Center In a brilliant rally in the closing minutes of the game, Notre Dame copped a close decision from Ohio State University on January 6 by a score of 27 tallies to 24. The Buckeyes started slowly but forged ahead on long shots to hold the lead until late in the fracas. Norb Crowe played exceptionally with a brace of field goals, while Newbold and DeCook contributed one each in the last four minutes. Another feature of the tilt was some brilliant defensive work by Tommy Burns. Ray DeCook again came through with nine points to finish the high scorer for the Irish. The fifth game ended in a victory of Notre Dame over the cagers from Wabash. After tailing 13 ' 10 at the half, the Irish staged a prolonged rally that was good for six con secutive field goals. So dazzling was the team work of the Keoganites that the Wabash cagers scarcely laid their hands on the ball during the eleven minute bombardment. ■ , . Ray DeCook, lanky Notre Dame center, again led the Irish by counting for seven field goals and two freethrows. DeCook constantly outjumped his opponent and did most of the scoring on plays from the jump formation, connecting on many onchand shots from under the basket. The array of substitutes that cluttered up the playing floor at the conclusion of the game gave a good account of themselves. • THE DOME OF 1931 Playing a greatly superior brand of basket ' ball to that of their opponents, Notre Dame completely outclassed Marquette on January 13 by a score of 30 ' 23. The seven ' point mar ' gin is in no way indicative of the comparative strength of the two teams since the Blue and Gold held a wide lead until the closing min ' utes. Notre Dame displayed the best defense they have shown this year in holding the Hill ' toppers to one field goal as long as the regu ' lars were in the game. They coupled this guarding ability with a new style offense that kept them in control of the play throughout the greater part of the battle. In this new system the center is the mainspring handling the ball on almost every play. Fighting back savagely in the closing mo ' ments of the game, Notre Dame snatched a one ' point victory from Pennsylvania on Jan ' uary 17 by a score of 21 to 20. The finish that the Fighting Irish staged was one of the most brilliant in years. It was the second contest that the Blue and Gold had taken from the Quakers this season. The two teams were exceptionally evenly matched with Notre Dame holding an appar ' ent advantage only in speed. Penn outscored the victors 8 to 7 in field goals, but the su ' periority of Notre Dame at the freethrow line was enough to supply the victory edge. Newbold, Notre Dame defensive star, tied with Tanseer, Pennsylvania guard, for high scoring honors with eight markers apiece. Only five Irish players saw action in the tilt. NORB CROWE Forward The varsity dropped an over ' time decision to the Panthers of Pittsburgh University at Notre Dame on January 24th. At the end of the extra period the visitors from the land of smoke were out in front by a score of 28 to 20. Notre Dame had held a small lead throughout the second half but a freethrow by Willie Kowallis sent Pitt into a tie with the Blue and Gold a minute before the gun. In the extra five minutes, the winners unleashed a powerful attack led by an accurate forward and rolled up eight points. Johnny Baldwin was the offensive star of the Fighting Irish quintet with ten tallies to his credit. Tommy Burns turned in a fine defensive exhibition and shared with Bald ' win the burden of the defensive play, —o— Another downstate team took the count at the hands of the Notre Dame cagers on February 3, when Indiana lost a 25 to 20 game at the Irish gymnasium. The contest was one of the fastest and roughest games of the season. Bill Newbold took scoring honors by sinking five field goals and three foul shots. Page 344 TH£ DOME OF 193 1 I A Indiana fought desperately in the second half, and for awhile threatened to overcome the Notre Dame lead, but a last minute rally by the Fighting Irish brought their efforts to naught. The Keoganites led all of the way. For the first time during the seaon, Burns, Notre Dame guard, abandoned his rigid abstinence from shooting and con ' nected for five points, two field goals and a foul. His run ' ning mate, Baldwin, made it a strictly defensive evening and chalked up only one point. Pittsburgh ' s Panthers and overtime periods seem to be just too much for Notre Dame basketeers this season. And as a re ' suit for the second time in two weeks these forces combined to hand the Blue and Gold a heart ' breaking defeat. On this par ' ticular occasion, February 7, the Panthers eked out a 35 to 32 victory before a throng of home town supporters. Crowe and DeCook were Notre Dame ' s most serious threats throughout the game and their sixteen points contri ' buted heavily to the cause of the Blue and Gold. Baldwin turned in his usual fine offensive exhibition and added five more markers to his growing list of scores. Pitt ' s margin of victory came directly from their ability to count freethrows. Although Notre Dame outpointed them 14 to 12 on field goals, the Panthers converted seven more gratis shots than the losers. In a slow and somewhat listless game, th e cagers added their ninth victory of the season to their list on February 13 when they eked out an 18 to 17 victory over the Little Giants of Wabash College. Notre Dame ' s regular team did not start the encounter. Schumaker took Ray DeCook ' s place at the beginning and remained in the fray until shortly before half ' time. With the Blue and Gold on the short end of an 8-3 count, however, Keogan sent in his high scorer. Johnny Baldwin proved to be the star on defense again, ably helped by Tommy Burns. DeCook led the scoring with three straight baskets, while Norb Crowe account ' ed for two. In the last of the home basketball games, the cagers wrote finis on the current season with a decisive 27 to 19 victory over the highly touted Bulldogs of Butler Uni ' versity. The finale was easily the oustanding performance of the Keoganites on the home court this year. Led by Norb Crowe and Johnny Baldwin, they played a heady, brilliant game to turn back the superb Butler effort. The superiority of the Notre Dame quintet was apparent after they once got under ' way in the middle of the first half. Baldwin ' s passing and defensive play brought loud rounds of applause from the stands as did Newbold ' s work in controlling the ball. The appearance of Clay Johnson towards the end of the game when Burns was put out on fouls was pleasing. He showed up remarkably well. Joe Gavin made a sizieable impression by some excellent floor work and defensive play.

Playing their first game at West Point, the Blue and Gold cagers matched their brilliant team play against the individual efforts of Cadet Ray Stecker. A capacity crowd of 3,000 jammed the Army gym to see Ray DeCook, Johnny Baldwin, and Joe Gavin lead the Keoganites to victory. Stecker and DeCook led the scoring with eighteen and ten points, respectively. Joe Gavin played an excellent game through ' out the entire contest, but was forced to leave the fray in the closing minutes because of in ' juries. Johnny Baldwin took second place, scor ' ing honors for the Irish with three hoops and a comphmentary heave. %. AL SCHUMACHER Forward A flashing rally in an overtime period gave the Orange of Syracuse University a 28 to 23 win over Notre Dame on the easterners ' ' court March 2. The game was a hard ' fought battle from start to finish, and it was only after a determined and fighting Notre Dame team had carried the score to a 20 to 20 deadlock in the final second that the home squad was able to move out in front to stay. Bill Newbold and Ray DeCook led the Keoganites on the offensive with eight apiece. Johnny Baldwin, ace guard of George Keogan ' s squad, watched the bat ' tie from the sidelines as the result of a sick spell. It later developed into an attack of influenza. Clay Johnson again came to the fore by stepping into the shoes of Baldwin and, together with Gavin, displayed some real talent.

Gavin netted five field goals and a single toss from the foul line to cop the scoring honors of the evening. The Keoganites played without the services of Johnny Baldwin, whose illness forced him to remain at home, and Ray DeCook, whose retirement in the middle of the first half was re ' quested because of fouls.

The Notre Dame team closed their season by a de- feat suffered at the hands of Iowa, 23-17.

Being the largest Frosh turnout in basket ' ball the University has ever had, frequent cuts had to be made to clip this huge squad down to a workable order. After a few weeks of practice, a first cut was made leaving seven tyfive men on the squad. A second cut trimmed this number to forty, and a third left twen ' tyfive hopeful Freshies. The final cut was made after the Christmas vacation. The nineteen survivors were called the Freshmen Varsity and intensive drills in the fundamentals of basketball and the Notre Dame style were started. The purpose of the Freshmen squad is chiefly to oifer competition to the Varsity in daily workouts. Coach Dovovan, acting as scout for Notre Dame in her major contests, taught the formations of the opponents to the Frosh. They, in turn, familiarized the Irish Varsity with the different styles of play in nightly games. The rest of the time, Donovan spent in teaching the squad basketball essentials and stressing the peculiarities of the No ' tre Dame system. Freshmen are not allowed to play any outside games because Notre Dame follows the rules of the Western Conference. No attempt can be made to pick the outstanding men on the squad. In justice to all, everyone of the nineteen members deserves mention for their ability. The majority of the players established great records in high school. The principal cogs in the machine of DeLasalle of Chicago, twice national Catholic champions, decided to follow their ca- reers at Notre Dame. Other members of the Frosh were selected on aU ' State honor teams in their interscholastic days. The squad had no first, second, and third team. Donovan could pick any five of the nineteen, and be absolutely certain that the club on the floor would be the equal of any other five he could choose. Glancing through the Freshmen roster, one finds the names of the third members of two famous Notre Dame basketball families. Whether they will succeed in establishing themselves as firmly as their brothers on the honor scroll of the Gold and Blue, only the future will disclose. Men awarded numerals at the conclusion of the season are: Alberts Holland O ' Connor Angsten Ed Krause O ' Neil Boland Phil Krause Tobin Crowe Al McGufl Voegle Davis Milheim Weidner Fehlig Minnot Gildea Newbold Page 348 X! 90C55 0 f O O O Q.

Central Conference champs, victors in two out of three dual meets, and brilliant showings in several of the more outstanding relays of the year — thus would a twentyfive ' word summary of the 1930 outdoor track season read. But we cannot con ' tent ourselves with such a few words about the best season a Notre Dame team has ever experienced on the cinder path. Coach John P. Nicholson was blessed with some expe ' rienced material in the field events when activities were transferred from the gymnasium to Cartier Field last spring, and these men, together with the track stars of the indoor season, gave him a well ' balanced squad to throw against some of the strongest opposition in the country. Captain Joe Abbott, Joe Quigley, Brant Little, and Alex Wilson composed the great ' est two-mile relay team in the country and continued the string of record-breaking per ' formances they started early in February at the Millrose games. « lpm   4m O O O C DOM£ OF 19 37 KEN BOAGNI Sprints JAMES SLATTERY Pole-Vault Following the Easter vacation, Coach Nicholson set his tracksters to serious prepara ' tion for the Drake and Ohio relays. The two ' mile relay team was expected to make the most creditable showing and it did not fail to live up to expectations in either meet. At Des Moines the sterling quartet of middle-distance stars won a smashing victory in 7 minutes 54.8 seconds when Brant Little, running anchor, staved off a last quarter spurt of a speedy Washington State half-miler. Bob McDonald, making his first appear- ance of the year, placed second in the javelin with a surprising throw of more than 1 87 feet. A week later Captain Abbott, Quigley, Wilson, and Little ran their string of victories to five straight in clipping nearly six seconds from the old Ohio relay record. The time made in this race, 7:48.6, was the fastest made by any college quartet last year and one of the best ever recorded in track history. Roy Bailie placed second in the broad jump. Johnny O ' Brien tipped the ninth high hurdle and this slip cost him enough ground to allow Sentman and Rodgers, of Illinois, to pass him and win by less than two feet. 2$ PageiSS THE DON eOF 1931 ' m fm i The first dual meet of the outdoor season resulted in a heart ' breaking 68 ' 58 defeat at the hands of Illinois. Coach Nicholson ' s performers had rung up the first Notre Dame victory over the lUini in seventeen years during the indoor season but the Urbanians were not to be denied when romping over their own fields. Michigan State proved to be an easy mark for the Blue and fell to the tune of 89 to 37. It was in this meet that Roy Bailie cHnched his place on the track and field honor roll of 1930. Roy topped the low hurdles in :23.9 to win easily from Russell of State. Regaining the State title was the next objective of the tracksters and this they did with a overwhelming victory over Indiana, DePauw, and Purdue, who finished in that order. Notre Dame placed at least one man in every event with one exception, and took as many as three places out of four in several of them, in running up a total of 62 points. A week later Coach Nicholson led his cohorts to Milwaukee to defend their Cen ' tral Intercollegiate Conference championship. Like the State meet, this engagement proved easy for the Fighting Irish and the title was retained for another year.

Alex Wilson, Brant Little, and Nordy Hoffman topped the previous records in the quarter ' mile, half ' mile, and discus throw, respectively. The biggest surprise of the day was the showing of the Blue and Gold pole vaulters. First, second, and a tie for third rewarded the efforts of Johnson, Fishleigh, and Slattery. And then came the season finale. Coach Nicholson took a squad of eighteen men to Annapolis on June 1 and handed the Navy Midshipmen a 67 to 59 defeat. As the run ' ners faced the gun for the half -mile, Navy held a 5 9 ' 5 8 lead but Notre Dame ' s three great middlcdistance runners, Joe Quigley, Brant Little, and Alex Wilson, came down the stretch together and broke the tape in the order named to give the Blue and Gold nine points and victory. The meet, and this race in particular, was a fitting climax to the 1930 season. It was the most successful since Nicholson took charge of the team even though the competition met was the strongest a Notre Dame squad has ever faced. Too much credit cannot be given to Captain Joe Abbott and his team, but a large share of it must be given to Nick. He has accomplished great things with the track team at Notre Dame and has developed it to a point where it ranks with the strongest in the country.

JOHNNIE O ' BRIEN ROY BAILIE Broad- utnp MARTY BRILL Shot-Put Indoor Track— 1931 The usual success which attends a Nicholson-coached track team was Notre Dame ' s during the indoor season of 1931. Two dual meet victories, over Butler and Iowa State, the retention of the Central Intercollegiate Conference indoor title for the fifth consecu ' tive year, and numerous individual victories were recorded in the two months ' winter activities. The season was opened in New York City at the renowned MiUrose games. The one- mile relay team, composed of Alex Wilson, Mickey MacBeth, Charley Kelly, and Brant Little, were victorious over Georgetown and Holy Cross, but the best performance of the evening was Wilson ' s victory in the famous Millrose 600, in which he outdistanced Roll, Edwards, Blanchard, and other well ' known stars. The Seton Hall games two days later were a distinct disappointment to the Notre Dame runners when both one-mile and two ' mile teams met defeat.

The down ' State team won but two firsts and tied for another Wilson and Howrey set new records in the 880 ' yard and twcmile runs, respectively, while Quigley, Johnson, Captain O ' Brien, and Branfort, a sophomore, turned in good exhibitions. The old Illinois jinx came to the fore again in the next meet and Notre Dame tasted defeat by a 51-44 count. Not until the final event had been run-off, however, was the winner determined, so close was the competition. The loss of Bailie, who was injured a few days before the meet, hurt the Blue ' s chances to a great extent. His ability in the hur- dies and broad jump would most certainly have turned the tide of victory. Joe Quigley was the star of the meet by virtue of two excellent races in the mile and half-mile. In the mile, Quig chalked up 4:22.9 only to lose by a foot to Woolsey, of Illinois. Pock- eted in last place, he was able to get loose only at the beginning of the last lap, and was forced to kick the whole trip. He failed by inches in his effort to pass the flying Illi- nois runner. A surprisingly strong Iowa State squad came down to the Notre Dame gymnasium on February 28 and forced a crippled local squad to the limit before succumbing by Page 357 TH£ DOME OF 1931 58 1 10 to 49 9 10. The lowans pr esented a well-balanced squad, led by Bob Hager, one of the country ' s outstanding hurdlers. Notre Dame was handicapped by the absence of Bailie, Johnson, and Little but this fact did not hinder the men of Coach Nicholson from turning in some excellent marks. Gene Howrey broke the two-mile record he had set just two weeks before in defeating Putnam, who is rated as one of the best distance men in the country. Joe Quigley added another good race to his constantly increasing list in winning the mile-run rather easily. A clean sweep for Notre Dame in the shot put ruined whatever chance the fighting lowans had of victory and put them far behind when the time came for the mile relay, the final event on the program. For the fifth year in succession, Notre Dame annexed the Central Intercollegiate Con- ference indoor championships on March 6 and 7. The Gold and Blue amassed a total of 40 points, more than double the final score of Michigan State, their nearest rival. Mar- quette took third, closely followed by Michigan State Normal College. Johnson, McCormick, Wilson, O ' Brien, and Darling showed well in this meet, each one scoring a first in his own event. Johnson and O ' Brien broke records as did the No- tre Dame mile relay team.

The Illinois relays were a source of distinct disappointment to Notre Dame track fol ' lowers when the team was able to garner but three third places to show for their evening ' s work. Captain O ' Brien ' s performance against two of the nation ' s best hurdlers, however, partially made up for the poor showing of the other members of the squad. Johnny fin ' ished less than a yard in back of Sentman, of Illinois, and Keller, of Ohio State, when the lUini flash broke the world ' s record for the 75 ' yard high hurdles. The one ' mile relay team, composed of Kuhn, Kelly, MacBeth, and Wilson, won their heat but the race was run against time and the Notre Dame mark gave them no better than a third. The two ' mile team was hopelessly beaten after being given a 20 ' yard lead by Quigley, who led off. Hoffman, McCormick, Darling, and Johnson failed to place in their events. And so the indoor season was brought to a close. It produced many outstanding performances and some men who promise to go far before their careers are over.

He broke the world ' s record for the 60-yard high hurdles only to see Lee Sentman come back later in the day and set still another mark for the distance. Joe Quigley proved to be one of the most dependable men on the squad and scored about as many points as any other man competing. Roy Bailie suffered an injury to his ankle early in the year and was unable to compete after the Butler meet. Alex Wilson, British 440-yard champion, was in excellent shape throughout the sea- son and his performances, at times, bordered on the super-human. Dutch Johnson reached just about the peak of his career and was consistently better than 13 feet in the pole vault. In the Conference meet he cleared 13 feet 4I 2 inches to break the existing gym and meet records. Both Brill and Hoffman earned many points in the shot put.

I9i0 Page 363 THE DOME OF 1931 Baseball— 1930 The 1930 baseball seg:spn at Notre Dame was a queer one in many respects. Even after it had been completed, one was in doubt as to just how good it real ' ly was. The record book showed twelve victories and seven defeats for a team that had to be rebuilt in many depart- ments, and which was serving under a new coach. When Tommy Mills left Notre Dame in February, 1930, Dr. George Keogan, coach of the basketball team for nearly ten years, took over the reigns of the ball-tossers in his place. Early season practice showed many veterans missing from the fold. The pitching staif and the infield suffered particularly hard and it was in these departments that Coach Keogan found his greatest difficulty. Before time for the southern trip rolled around, however, a capable group of pitchers had been hned up with Lisicki, Mannix, Palt, and Dilley in the lead, and the infield problem was pretty well solved with Sullivan at first. Askew at second, Palermo at shortstop, and O ' Keefe at third, with Mahoney in reserve. I I- HARRY FRANCIS OutjieJd BILL SULLIVAN First-Base Page 364 0 ' THE DOME OF 1931 I P Captain Joe Lordi was a fixture be ' hind the bat and offered Kolski and Dc Ian little opportunity to work. The outfield was composed of veterans. Fee ' hery in right, Francis in center, and Moran in left, formed a trio whose hard ' hitting and capable fielding gave Notre Dame a distinct advantage in the outer ' gardens. Opening the season with a practice game on the home lot, Notre Dame took the measure of a fighting Armour Tech squad. The score was 12 ' 4 and the game offered Coach Keogan a good op- portunity to see many of his new men under fire for the first time. Lisicki, Palt, and Dilley took turns on the mound and none were hard pressed. The southern trip, a feature that was destined to be discontinued in 1931, was opened on April 21 with a doubleheader with Florida University. The Blue and Gold, with Lisicki on the mound, won the initial contest by 5 to 4, but dropped the second by a 1 to count. Moving up to Atlanta, Georgia, the Keoganites made it three out of four for the trip when Palt and Lisicki hurled their team to 3 ' 1 and 4 ' 3 victories over Geor ' ED FEEHERY OutfieU HASKELL ASKEW Second-Base o og: Page 36J THE DOME OF 1931 gia Tech. At Columbus, Georgia, the soldiers of Fort Benning proved too much for the inexperienced Blue team and won two games in as many days to make the spring training trip a fifty fifty affair with three wins and a like number of losses. Three days after their return from the sunny south, Notre Dame took to the road again to meet Wisconsin at Madison. The Badgers were destined to become Big Ten champs but the Kec ganites did not let that fact hinder them from taking the measure of their hosts by a 5 ' 3 score. Michigan State handed the Blue a 3 ' 2 licking at Lansing before the squad next appeared on the home lot. Four straight victories over Western Conference nines followed in quick succession. Iowa journeyed to Notre Dame to drop a 5-4 decision. Lisicki hurled a nice game, although being tapped for ten singles. Notre Dame garnered a like number of hits but bunched theirs a bit more effectively. Northwest ' ern ' s Wildcats visited old Cartier Field next only to suffer a fate similar to their Conference neighbors. In a comedy of errors, Notre Dame triumphed by 10 ' 6, but gave their coach no satisfaction by their perform- ance. Rain, which fell throughout most of the game, was probably responsible for most of the miscues. A visit to Champaign resulted in a 7 ' 5 victory over Illinois by virtue of a six ' run rally in the seventh in ' ning. Bill Sullivan ' s home run was the deciding factor, coming with two men on base. The ball ' tossers decided to make the week-end a total success while they were at it, and Northwestern fell a victim of the Fighting Irish for the second time in eight days. This time, how- ever, the Wildcats hung on for eleven innings before Harry Francis sent a terrific blow to left center to bring in Askew with the seventh and deciding run. Bradley Tech, from Peoria, camie down to Notre Dame to try to break the jinx the Keogan men seem to hold over all nines hailing from Illinois. Charley Man- nix was in top form tha t day, however, and the Tech nine went the way all good teams went when Charley was right. Notre Dame drove out five runs in the first inning and continued their slugging throughout to pile up a 13 ' 6 score. Bill Sullivan connected with a fast one in the eighth inning and sent it to deep right field for a home run with two men on base. A two ' game trip into Iowa was the next item on the program and the local nine started out as if they CHARLES mannix i ft O xses ' ik . TH£. DOME OF 1931 I JOE PALERMO Shortstop meant business. Iowa was set down for the second time during the season, at Iowa City, by an 8 ' 4 count. The Notre Dame murderers ' row was again in work ' ing order and the sluggers pounded out thirteen safe blows to make the task look all the easier for Lefty Lisicki. Making the short hop to Decorah that night, the ball ' tossers were all set for the Luther College nine the following day. The game turned out to be one of the best pitching duels of the season with Dilley, of No ' tre Dame, and Aase, of Luther, matching curve for curve, and fast ball for fast ball, most of the way. In the eighth inning, Feehery followed walks to Francis and Palermo with a long double to left center to bring in the first two runs of the game. Dilley, who had allowed but three hits in eight innings, weakened in the ninth, however, and was touched for a walk, two sin ' gles, and a double, for three runs and the ball game. Returning home to wind up the season, the Fight ' ing Irish found Michigan State on hand a day early but obligingly played the game only to be given a 5 ' 3 beating. It was the second defeat of the year at the hands of the Spartans and gave them the honor of be ' ing the only college team to perform this feat against the locals. Wisconsin, who by this time had been crowned Conference champs, re ' turned Notre Dame ' s early season visit but met the same fate as was theirs on the Madison diamond. This time the score was 7 ' 2, and gave the Blue a clean slate against Big Ten nines with seven wins and no defeats. Fate was not so kind to the Keoganites, however, in their attempt to close the season with a bang. The Navy Midship ' men journeyed to Notre Dame and administered a 5 ' 4 defeat when Notre Dame seemed to have the game in the bag. A bit of loose fielding turned the tide, however, and the seventh defeat of the year was hung up against the boys in their final appearance of the season. To pick out a star for the season would be most difficult. Every man played hard ball at all times. The team, as a whole, flashed brilliantly at times and still again would seem quite impotent. Bill Sullivan, Ed Feehery, Lefty Moran, and Har ' ry Francis led the slugging attack. JOHN LISICKI Pitcher l« o « Page 367 6 ■ S ' TH£ DOME OF 193 1 m Freshman Baseball — 1930 Early in spring the first call for Freshman base ball was issued by Coach Joe Jackym, former var ' sity pitcher and basketball player, bringing out a squad of one hundred hopefuls. After a few- weeks of intensive practice, cuts were made until the squad numbered twentynine. Suits were given to these men; they were called the Freshmen Var ' sity and were given the chance to prove the rea ' son for their existence. As Freshmen are not allowed to compete with outside teams, their games consisted in giving the Varsity a few workouts and playing Moreau Sem ' inary. To offset the lack of foreign competition, teams were picked from the squad and a regular schedule of games played until the end of the school year. The splendid spirit shown by the squad gives rise to the expectation of having a winning, hard ' working varsity for the next three years. Playing for no glory other than their numer ' als, the men practiced diligently every day, perfecting themselves in the rudiments of the game, and eagerly absorbing all the little tricks taught them by Jachym. The mental impetus of vociferous, crowded bleachers was absent but this did not deter one whit from the sparkhng, and at times, daring play of the first year men. Coach Keogan need have no worries about replacing the men he will lose by graduation. Some players showed unusual ability and are sure to be varsity performers when they become eligible for intercollegiate baseball. Intlekefor, a Pacific Coast lad, pitched some mighty fine games against the varsity. Gabrysick, his battery mate, handled the receiving end in a commendable manner and in addition, was a hefty man with a bat. Cummings, at first base, looks like a capable successor of Sullivan when Bill receives his degree. Some great infield exhibitions were turned in by Hayes, Maloney, Russo, McAveny, and Schim- berg. The heavy hitting of Harrison, McGrath and Sabo in the outfield gave them a lit ' tie edge but their mates were not lagging far behind. Coach Jackym rewarded the following men with numerals: JOSEPH JACHYM Coach Pitchers : Infielders : Outfielders : Dames Cummings Cronin Donnelly Eckert Earlongo Friel Gould Hall Golden Hayes Harrison Intlekefor Maloney McGrath O ' Connor Mueller McLaughlin Reilly Murphy Sabo Catchers : McGee McAveny Gabrysick Russo Hurley Schimberg Schefter Webb Page 368 4 . y HOMELIFE IN HIBEIVNIAv ii N OIV 5 PO IVT 5 THE dome: of 1931 Sfig W.X Cross-Country Although Notre Dame ' s 1930 Cross ' country team did not win the majority of its meets, the Blue and Gold harriers demonstrated to Coach Nicholson that their lack of experience did not necessarily mean a lack of grit. Twenty candidates reported to Nicholson at the start of the season. Undiscouraged by this lack of interest of the student body, Nicholson started to build his team around two veterans, ex ' Captain Joe Quigley and Gene Howrey. After a few weeks of practice, Bowers, a member of the 1929 team; Grimes, a sophomore; Rudd, Ewing, Duke, and Russnak, led the other members of the squad in their battle to capture the remaining positions on the team. Before the first meet, Gene Howrey was elected to captain the squad. The season opened on October 18 with Butler but the experienced down ' Staters won, 25 to 31. The following Saturday, October 25, Notre Dame entered a quadrangular meet with Wisconsin, Northwestern, and Illinois, the Irish placing third. Notre Dame met the strong Crimson squad from Indiana on November 1 and were again defeated, 21 to 36. Howrey led the field to the finish line. The Irish broke into the win column on the following week ' end by closing its home activities with a victory over Michigan State. This was the first victory Notre Dame has been able to score over Michigan State in four years. Nicholson ' s harriers finished the season by journeying to Iowa City to decisively de ' feat Iowa, 21 to 36. THOMAS ASHE Manager, Minor Sports m i Page 370 iim THE D O JV E OF 193 I lennis Led by Captain Johnny O ' Brien, another member of the famous O ' Brien clan of No ' tre Dame, the Irish racqueteers enjoyed a successful season, winning four matches and losing two on the regular schedule. In an exhibition match with the University of Cali ' fornia after the close of the school year, the lads from the West Coast were victorious, although no official scoring was published. The tennis squad of 1930 had the unique distinction of having three O ' Briens ' among the first six men. Besides Captain Johnny, there was Mike and Matt O ' Brien, twin brothers, from Tampa, Florida. Other members of the team were Bailey, Reaume, and Kendall. All of these men were experienced tennis players, having appeared in many tour ' naments in different sections of the country. Captain O ' Brien is a former boys ' and in ' terscholastic champion of New York state, and co ' holder of the interscholastic doubles title with Bailey. Kendall was runner-up for the Ari2,ona state championship in 1926. Mike O ' Brien, twice high school champ of Tampa, had to beat his brother both times to win the cup. The season opened at Chicago with Armour Tech which Notre Dame easily won by a score of 6-1. Loyola of Chicago was met on the following day and the Irish added another win by the same score. Michigan State was the next opponent. Nine matches were played and Michigan State was able to win only one. The first defeat of the sea- son was administered by the racquets of Western State Teachers of Kalama2;oo, who completely whitewashed the Irish. Northwestern came down from Evanston to give No- tre Dame its second beating by a score of 6-3. Bailey and Reaume were the Blue and Gold ' s only entrants in the Central Intercol- legiate Conference Tourney held at the Chicago Town and Tennis Club, co-sponsors of the meet with Notre Dame. Both men were eliminated in the singles and lost in the doubles competition to Northwestern, who went on to win the championship. The first scheduled meet of the year was with Minnesota. Kendall and M. P. O ' Brien won the meet for Notre Dame by capturing the last doubles on the program. I  0 « Page 371 mmm THe D O N E OF 19 3 1  GoK Notre Dame ' s golf team of 1930 drove, putted, and holed out an undefeated sea- son. Led by Captain Larry Moller and having a home course on which to practice, the squad quickly rounded into form. A series of eliminating matches was necessary to pick the best men to represent the Gold and Blue on the green. Those who survived the trials were Fran and Russ Beaupre; Bill Redmond, Indiana Intercollegiate champion; Art Bradley, university individual cham- pion; and. Louis O ' Shea, New York state junior champion two years ago. On April 29, the first match was played on the Coquillard Country Club course with the best eight men South Bend had to offer. Using the Nassau point scoring system. No- tre Dame won, 14 to 7. Bill Redmond ' s win over Harry Elmore, captain of the South Benders, was the feature of the match. Notre Dame opened the home schedule entertaining Loyola of Chicago on the Uni ' versity links. When all the score cards were tallied, Loyola was on the short end of an 18 to 3 count. Loyola was able to score only three points in the single matches and were completely shut out in the doubles. Fran Beaupre displayed great form by shooting a 33 on the incoming nine in the singles. Moller ' s consistent long drives continually drew applause from the gallery. The Notre Dame team scored eighteen birdies and one eagle, the latter by Moller on the 10th, a 472 ' yard hole, when his iron second fell within a foot of the cup and he holed out for an eagle three. The squad traveled to the University of Detroit on May 17, and came back with a 22 2 to 4i victory. Detroit had been undefeated three years and was runner-up in the National Intercollegiate meet the previous year. Notre Dame won every match in the singles except one and made a clean sweep in the doubles. The best ball in the dou- bles was between Fran Beaupre and Moller, both having a 68. Low medal went to Mol- ler in the singles with a card of 73 while O ' Shea was runner-up with a remarkable 77.

Redmond ' s total was 158, followed by Fran Beaupre with 159, and MoUer with 160. Notre Dame met Detroit in a return match during Commence ' ment, Detroit again losing, 23 to 1. As a finale, a four ' man team journeyed to Culver and returned with a 9 to 3 score and a clean rec ord for the year. Moller in the Intercollegiates Larry Moller, former captain of the Notre Dame golf team, and president of the Intercollegiate Golf Association, is known on the campus as a quiet fellow and a real student in architectural engineering. Since coming to Notre Dame, Larry has brought distinction to himself and to his school in various golf tournaments. In his junior year, Larry was elected to the captaincy. He justified this confidence by winning all his matches and leading his team through a defeatless season. With this defeatless season went the honor of being the first Notre Dame team to compete in the Intercollegiate Golf Champion ' ship. Larry ' s activities in this tournament typify his colorful career. June 21 found the Notre Dame foursome teeing off in the Inter ' coUegiates at the Oakmont Country Club in Pittsburgh. Larry played his usual brilliant game to score a 153 to tie Dunlap of Princeton for qualifying honors. Of the fifteen teams entered, Notre Dame was fourth. That evening at a team champion ' ship banquet Larry was elected to the presidency of the Association. This was the first time this honor had gone to a representative of a western school. The elimination rounds then started for the individual championship. Larry was a popular favorite because of his spectacular game — terrific drives and miraculous recover ' ies. In an automatic playoff, Larry beat Dunlap of Princeton by four strokes to win the qualifying medal. Larry defeated two opponents with ease. He then met Marshall Forrest, captain of the Yale team, and former president of the Association. Larry was one up on the eighth hole when he was struck by lightning. He gamely decided, however, to finish the match. He won. In the semi ' finals he played Phillips Finlay, the Harvard captain, and one of the country ' s leading golfers. This was a battle of smashing drives between two of the longest drivers in the tournament. The Notre Dame captain won the match on the thir ' tyseventh hole. In the finals, Larry established a comfortable lead over Dunlap, the Princeton cap ' tain, in the morning round. In the afternoon round, however, the Princetonian, playing superb golf, scored eight birdies, to win the championship. Larry was disappointed but not discouraged, as it had taken birdies to beat him. LARRY MOLLER Captain Page 373 TH€: DOME OF 19 31 Interhall Athletics Intramural sports have been an important factor in Notre Dame athletics ever since the school has had two halls to compete with one another. The early interhall system was a slip ' shod organiwtion with hapha2,ard sched ' ules and no definite method of determining campus cham ' pionships. In the early years of the present century, Notre Dame had four university residence halls, namely, Sorin, Corby, St. Joseph ' s and Brownson. An association was formed and managers from each hall were chosen. With the building of Walsh Hall, the growing importance of the off ' Campus delegation, and the discontinuance of Carroll as a prep school, three new teams were added to interhall competition. St. Joseph ' s Hall was changed to Badin. Later on came Freshman and Sophomore; and finally in 1925, Howard, Morrissey, and Lyons were erected. Notre Dame now had twelve teams competing for in ' tramural supremacy. Something had to be done to per ' feet an efficient organization. The problem was solved when the University established the department of physi ' cal education. Father Vincent Mooney was the first head of the interhall department, and under his guidance, plans were formulated for an extensive sport program. Two coaches from the physical education school were assigned to each hall. In football, the halls were divided into two divisions, each team playing the other teams in its division once. At the end of the season, the division champs would play for campus honors. Basketball was separated into light and heavyweight sections, each section to have its own champion. Baseball, as an intramural sport, was discontinued in 1930 because of lack of playing fields, and a playground ball league was formed in its stead. Both an indoor and outdoor track schedule were inaugurated with Nicholson, varsity coach, in charge. Men playing on the varsity or freshmen squads were ineligible for competition on their hall teams in the same sport, except freshmen trackmen, who are allowed to compete for their respective halls. Minor athletics were introduced in 1925 with the addition of swimming. Meets were held in the University natatorium, and freshmen were awarded numeral sweaters for the best performances. Tennis was also added, and last year, with the building of the Wil ' liam Burke eighteen ' hole course, golf became another form of competition. This year, hand ' ball and squash were the new diversions offered to the students. With the disband ' ment of Father Sorin ' s little princes last year, St. Edwards was made over into a resi ' dence hall, making a total of thirteen teams in the interhall league.

The crown deservedly goes to Walsh after a season remarkable for numerous scoreless tie games. A perusal of the standings of both divisions of the league, show nine games where neither team was able to cross the goal line. The cause of this surprising condition is difficult to discover. Per ' haps all the scoring punch in school was winning another National Championship. The league was composed of twelve teams. Every hall on the campus, with the ex ' ception of the two senior halls — Sorin and Badin, placed squads on the field. Off ' Campus students had a team in both divisions to even up the schedule. The Varsity and Physi ' cal Education department supplied coaches for each team. At the end of the regular scheduled season, Lyons and St. Edward ' s were tied for first place in Division 1. The same was true of Walsh and Howard in Division 2. This necessitated playoff games to decide the teams who were to meet in the championship struggle. Two outstanding players who were responsible for the great showing of Walsh were Jane, end, and Law, halfback. It was the pass combination of Law to Jane that finally overcame the tight defensive games played by Howard and L yons. Other men who showed up well for their respective halls were Conti, Lyons ' quar ' terback; McCarthy, fullback for Walsh; Coughlan, Sophomore Hall guard; and McCar ' thy, of St. Edward ' s, at halfback. Page 37? THE DOME 0 193l Interhall Basketball Dignified Sorin Hall, upsetting all precedent, placed a team in the heavyweight divi ' sion of the Interhall Basketball League and emerged with a record of eleven games won and one lost, thereby bringing the first interhall trophy to Sorin in many a year. In the lightweight league. Off ' Campus, with a clean slate of twelve games won, took the cham ' pionship in their division. The heavyweight fight was a nip and tuck affair between Sorin and Off ' Campus all during the season. Off ' Campus led the league until the late season rush of Sorin toppled them from their perch. Sorin ' s only set ' back during the year was at the hands of Car ' roll early in the season, while Off ' Campus was defeated by both Sorin and Morrissey in the last two weeks of play. Walsh and Lyons Halls were not far behind the leaders; Walsh finishing third with nine games won and three lost, and Lyons fourth, winning eight while losing four. In the lightweight league, the Off ' Campus gang had things pretty much their own way, with St. Edward ' s and Freshman fighting for second place. St. Edward ' s finally won the claim by taking their last two games on the schedule while Freshman was drop ' ping a pair to Off-Campus and Carroll. Sophomore, by defeating Morrissey and Corby, jumped into a tie with Freshman for third place. Men responsible for the fine showing of their teams in the heavyweight division were Teders, Fishleigh, and Reiman, of Sorin; Bognar and S2;eckley, of the Off ' Campus squad; Seidl, Law, and Dolan, of Walsh; and Igoe and Callaghan, of Lyons. Other men who were invaluable to their halls were Townsend, Palt, Sandera, Mueller, Baldwin, Conso ' lati, and McNerney. The success of Off ' Campus in the lightweight division was due to the ability of Rod ' riquez and Vitt, while Casey, Tunney, and CMalley, of St. Edward ' s; Horan and O ' Far ' rell, of Freshman; Hayes, Montgomery, and Sargus, of Sophomore, kept their teams near the top by exceptional playing. Other men deserving mention are Dorsey, Forastiere, Dorschell, Thompson, Rahaim, Foley, and Brown. If the interest shown by the students in basketball this year can be taken as a crite ' rion, the future of Notre Dame and the interhall system is assured. All the games were well attended and played as scheduled. The physical education department deserves com ' mendation for the capable manner in which the games were officiated.

DOME Of 1931 I EDWARD ENGLAND Freshman Trac Coach Interhall Track Freshman Hall, celebrating St. Patrick ' s Day in true Irish fashion, captured the twentyeighth annual interhall indoor track meet held in the gym by amassing a total of 33 points. Howard Hall was second with 23 points, and Off ' Campus squee2;ed into third place with a score of 16, closely followed by St. Edward ' s, two points behind. Eleven halls entered the meet, and all, with the excep ' tion of Walsh, broke into the scoring column. Three new meet records were set and many fine exhibitions were given in the other events. In the pole vault, Cusick, OfF ' Campus, soared 11 feet 4 inches, bettering the old record by one inch. Finkel, another Off ' Campus man, heaved the shot 42 feet, shattering an interhall mark that was made way back in 1914 by Bachman, present football coach at Florida. DuPuy, freshman Hall, easily won the 65 ' yard low hurdles in :07.4, breaking his own interhall record by one ' tenth of a second. Freshman Hall placed in every event but the 60 ' yard dash and the broad jump, ac counting for four firsts, three seconds, one third and one fourth. Obergfall contributed ten points to his team ' s total, taking high scoring honors by winning both the 440 and 880 ' yard runs. In the 60 ' yard dash, Kelly, Off ' Campus, won in the fast time of :06.5, one ' tenth of a second slower than the record held jointly by Elder and Abbatemarco. Obergfall ' s mark of 2:05.1 in the 880 ' yard run was also one ' tenth of a second slower than the interhall rec ord of 2:05 made in 1916 by Caspar. The relay, always an interesting race, failed to come up to expectations and Howard Hall romped in an easy victor. Last fall, Brownson won the interhall cross ' country flag with a low total of 43 points, while their Main building rivals, Carroll, took second place with a total of 45. Individual honors go to Joe Young, Howard star, who ran away from the large field of twentyfour starters, covering the two and a quarter mile course in 11:10.

PHELAN The Laetare Medal The Laetare Medal, which is awarded annually to the nation ' s outstanding Catholic layman, was conferred this year upon James J. Phelan, banker and philanthropist of Bos ' ton. He was selected in view of the positions and capacities in which he has served his re ' ligion, his country and his state. Mr. Phelan was born in Toronto, Canada, in 1871, but since the age of nine he has lived in Boston. Starting as a Stock Exchange page boy in that city, he has risen to a position of executive in banking interests, mining and industrial concerns. He did note ' worthy work during the World War in connection with the Liberty Loan drives, and previous to the country ' s entrance into the war, he organi2;ed the New England Saw Mill Unit, the United States ' first contribution to the Allies before the nation declared war. He was assistant food administrator for Massachusetts during the war. After the war, His Holiness, the Pope, Benedict XV, honored Mr. Phelan in recog ' nition of his war work by making him a Knight of Malta, the first member of that order t Page 380 THH D O N4 E OF 1931 in the United States; and also Knight Commander of the Order of Pope Pius X. Later, in 1928, he was honored with the Grand Cro3s of the Sovereign MiHtary Order of Malta. At the present time, Mr. Phelan is a director of the Massachusetts Bonding and In ' surance Company. The custom of conferring the Laetare Medal upon an outstanding Catholic layman was suggested by Professor James E. Edwards in 1882. It was sponsored by the Rev erend Edward Sorin, C.S.C., then president of the University. The inspiration for the custom came from the papal practice of awarding a Golden Rose on the same day of the year for a similar purpose. Since 1883, Notre Dame has honored 48 outstanding Cath ' olic men and women with this medal. Each year the Medalist is selected by a special committee. This year the members were: Reverend Charles L. O ' Donnell, C.S.C., president of the University; Reverend Michael Mulcaire, C.S.C.; Reverend J. Leonard Carrico, C.S.C.; Reverend Patrick J. Carroll, C.S.C.; Reverend Thomas Steiner, C.S.C.; Mr. James McCarthy; Mr. Francis Kervick; Mr. William Benitz; Mr. Clarence Manion and Mr. Rufus W.

THe DOMEO 1931 1906-1931 A Story of T otre Dame Twenty five Tears Ago Cleve Carey, capable stafF-member of the Scholastic and Dome, here throws back the spot ' hght of journahsm upon the days of long ago. Twenty-five years ago, to be exact, for that was the date of the first Dome. The picture which he draws of the University is an amusing, yet stimulating one. Cleve is a sophomore in Arts and Letters. Twenty-five years ago Notre Dame was very much the same as it now is, — a green, peaceful place set between twin lakes, a community whose history was already beautiful to the point of being spiritual, whose ideals were implanted by a band of persevering and saintly men laboring in the cause of religion and education. Twenty ' five years ago! The university had already completed its years of labor and the result was no longer an infant settlement struggling to stay alive. It was adolescent. The school had taken a firm foothold in the soil, and already an atmosphere of peace and earnestness, of frankest relations between mentor and pupil, was a palpable, living thing, ever evident. One day during the year 1906 a young man named Charles O ' Donnell was chosen from the members of the senior class at the University to take charge of the preparation of a yearbook, something new at Notre Dame. The school had been busy until this time making a success of the Scholastic, and the Dome was a natural step forward in the strid ' ing towards equality in all aspects with the leading universities of the country. Charles O ' Donnell was taken from the staff of the Scholastic, where he had been an editor, and, without any precedent, any model after which to fashion the first annual, was depended upon to make a success of a yearbook which it was hoped, would stand with the best university annuals of the country. It did just that. That first Dome was such a thor- oughly fine piece of work that Domes of succeeding years have preserved intact some of its original features. This very article comes a quarter of a century after the first of its kind, A GLANCE BACKWARDS, in the first Dome. The 1906 annual was a truly literary affair, well-written, well-planned, and handsomely illustrated. The Dome of 1906 was something more, though, than a mere compendium of facts about a graduating class. It was a landmark in the history of Notre Dame. The class of ' 06 was the first class to be graduated during the presidency of Rev. John Cavanaugh, C.S.C. With him the little structure that had been erected in 1842 grew to enormous proportions, emerging at last into the university we now know. Eight hundred students there were then, busily pursuing some thirteen courses in the different colleges, with the law claiming most of that number. Eight hundred men Father Cavanaugh ' s wise head and unlimited energy made into nearly three thousand; a few buildings he converted into an independent community ranking with any, and surpassing most, in the country. The best of men and the best of leaders was this successor to Father Sorin, and there was at least one who learned the secret of that success, the young man who laid aside his poetry, and his newspaper editorship, and his debating, to edit that first Dome. That senior stood out from the aggregate students just as today he is marked nationally as president of a great university, as poet, and as leader in modern education. f Page 382 h ' t Other young men who were to make the University their whole life were represented in the pages of that first Dome. John M. Ryan was a busy senior who found time for baseball away from his activities as an associate editor of the Dome and of the Scholastic. He found his vocation in the priesthood. A year or so before, John Farley, now Father Farley, the rector of Sorin Hall, had completed his course with a record in athletics of four years on the varsity football and baseball teams, and two years of track. Singing in the choir of ' 06 and playing in the University band was Charles Miltner, at present Rev. Charles Miltner, C.S.C., Dean of the College of Arts and Letters. Twentyfive years serve to change outward appearances, and what was the custom then is the oddity now. But there is something about the outrageous collars and the peg ' topped trousers that keeps them from being ludicrous, and makes them instead treasured marks by which we keep account of passing time. Swirling hair and mountainous linen make us wonder how imposing our own likenesses will appear a quarter century further on. Dress and customs of 1906 are history, as will be those of our day, and they are bet ' ter respected than laughed at. Yet the Dome furnishes amusement, when we stop to consider such things as the trans ' portation afforded persons in those days of the glorification of the horse. A railroad, much to the joy of the students and the townspeople, had been built sometime during the last quarter of the old century to replace the common and now outdated stagecoaches, and evidently had remained just as originally laid for some thirty or forty years. It ran into South Bend and no further; it had no spurs and there was no connecting hne of any kind. We find one Tom Mallea advertising in the 1906 Dome that his carriages met all trains and were especially on the alert to please the students of Notre Dame and St. Mary ' s. Studebaker ' s, perhaps the most famous of all makers of vehicles, carried a full page in that annual, advertising prodigiously a line of conveyances which ranged from a buckboard wagon to the latest and most unusual means of transportation, the horseless carriage. But the feature of that page was a dashing two ' horse brougham which overshadowed by far the embryonic automobile. On another page of that first Dome a sly invitation was held out to Notre Dame and St. Mary ' s students to spend the afternoon at Nobile ' s, the predecessor of the Palace, on their rare and long awaited visits to town. As an alterna ' tive the boys might, as requested, drop in at Adler ' s, who were at the time maintaining in print that an Adler suit, while not more durable than a pair of jean pants, was neverthe ' less unapproachable in the matter of style and fit. There weren ' t many amusements in those days, and there did not seem to be much agitation for any more. Young men at Notre Dame were forbidden cigarettes and were limited to the use of huge pipes of a curved ' Stem type, it seems. Billiards were consid ' ered the ideal recreation for gentlemen, and cards of any kind were frowned upon; bridge was an unknown quantity. Excursions to town were very few, and such as were allowed were zealously inspected. A dance of any kind was the ultimate in social functions, and listening to a debate was a highly respected form of amusement much in vogue. Per ' haps that system was better than ours of today. There was at least no scurrying about to find new ways to spend free time. Men came then to a university primarily to study and to learn, and the fact that such men as Father Charles O ' Donnell and Father Charles Miltner are products of a more or less rigid period is a strong argument for the efficacy of that simple, strict system of education. S Page 383 THE DOME OF 1931 Comparison of the scene twentyfive years ago with that of today leaves, in spite of the fact that details are different, but the single impression that everything that really counts, that is really important, is unchanged. The University today has merely im ' proved, along with everything else in the world, in externals, in accoutrements. The inner life of Notre Dame has remained identical simply because it was formed in perfection long ago. The University today has preserved the old air of quiet, solid competence, and, un ' like most modern universities, it is openly and unashamedly built upon a foundation of strong religious feeling. Notre Dame ' s history is more than a history of education — it is as much a history of religious endeavor, and its teachers are men whose secular knowledge has been bolstered by devotion and faithfulness. Now, even as a quarter century ago, there is here no group of rabidly materialistic educators, achieving a particularly evil and monotonous standard ' i2;ation of youth, but a group of earnest, self ' appraising men whose culture and sagacity are doing much to preserve in America the old and infinitely good tradition which holds religious training to be a necessary and indispensable part of any program of secular edu ' cation. Notre Dame has gone far since the days of 1906. The way has been hard and oppO ' sition has been great — but the goal and the effort have been even greater. Notre Dame men have always been the same, possessed of the degree of character and breadth of vision that only Notre Dame can impart. Twentyfive years from now Notre Dame men will still be the same men, of a long hne of men shaped about a pattern — the only pattern — of religion, perseverance, cleanness, and strength. ii Page 384 ak ; I! 4i I0 600 THE ASTROLOGER, 4 Y E A fV yfiki.

It was a worthy tribute to a worthy man. The DOME of 1931 must record his death. On March 31 at noon, a plane in which he was on his way to California crashed over a Kansas prairie Coach Rockne and seven others were instantly killed. Tom Conley, the last Notre Dame captain to play under Rockne, said, He died as he lived, ' — ' in action. « «   Most of the pages of this book had been printed when the tragic acci- dent occurred. Because he was a moving force on the campus, because of his fire and enthusiasm, because of his brilliant craftsmanship, he is mentioned here many times. Even if it were possible to change these allusions to him, the DOME would prefer to let them stand. They tell of Rockne as he was. The pictures of him with his fellow-coaches, his own statements, the comments on his strategy, the Rockne cheer-— these tell a story in themselves. They indi- cate the place he held here in the minds of those who knew him. « «   The SCHOLASTIC paid tribute to Mr. Rockne, in a special edition the day of his death. In an editorial, the staff said: He became coach. And the greatest of them all. It was agreed. . . . He has been an inspiration in the most glorious sense of the word. He has been a living symbol of success in spite of almost unsurmountable obstacles. . . . The master has passed. The SCHOLASTIC joins with the voices of everyone in regret at his death. But regret is tempered with faith. As Father O ' Hara says in his Religious Bulletin for today, We may feel that the Mother of God took care of him in his hour of need. The DOME wants to express the same feeling. Page 387  THe DOME OF 1931 yc The Building Program We should like to be an alumnus returning to the campus some five or six years after graduation. Such a one would feel as did old Rip Van Winkle upon awakening from his long sleep. If the somnolent Mr. Van Winkle were awed at the progress made during his absence, can you imagine how the returning alumnus would react to the new Notre Dame? To the beauty of a new Gothicstyle Law building and the imposing magnificence of the Notre Dame Stadium will be added the comforts of two residence halls and the edu ' cational facihties offered by two new buildings designed to house the College of Com ' merce and the College of Engineering. The residence halls, now under construction, are located between the Dining ' hall and Notre Dame avenue. These two will accommodate some 525 students, and will be used solely by juniors and freshmen. The junior residence will be named Alumni Hall in ap ' preciation of the generosity and loyalty of the Notre Dame alumni who contributed to the University development fund This hall will also be used as a general headquarters for the alumni during class reunions. Dillon Hall is to be the name of the freshman building. This is in conformity with the earlier practice of naming residence halls in memory of deceased presidents of Notre Dame. The Rev. Patrick Dillon, C.S.C., was the second president of the University and it was during his term of office that Notre Dame began to grow and prosper. The College of Commerce Building is the gift of Edward N. Hurley, international trade authority and recipient of the Laetare Medal award in 1926. This structure and the College of Engineering building are both under proposal at the present. Although no tangible results are now evident, construction will soon begin. f s ' r --- ' • ' ' ,-5 Ij TT rr rr ■[fMI ' •iii.: ' - ' .- :«i, - ■■■ 51!

TH€: DOME OF 1931 Humor at Notre Dame Jack Dempsey, who leaves the chair of risibility for a few moments to write serious ' ly of Humor at Notre Dame was officially proclaimed Funny Fellow last May. Like every good Juggler Editor he has taken his post seriously, and the magazine has profited by his direction. There are those who don ' t like the Juggler but there are also those who don ' t care for the Encyclopedia Britannica. Both are good. Jack ' s article here was the hardest essay in the book to obtain, but it is worth-while. } If a man is a graduate of Notre Dame it is safe to bet on his having a sense of humor. Some men come here without one, but if they do not develop one they seldom remain to graduate; if they do graduate without a sense of humor they are rarely classed among the most popular of classmates. It is an essential quality of a student at Notre Dame. It might be well to review the history of official humor at Notre Dame. Many stU ' dents maintain — just as their predecessors for ninety years have maintained — that Father Sorin must have had a keen sense of humor to have founded Notre Dame in Indiana. Griping about Indiana weather began soon after the founding of the University and has not ceased. Many clever remarks ha ' e lightened the worst of weather conditions. And since its founding, the Juggler has harpooned these conditions in an Indiana Number and a Hoosier Number. The second historical date in humor at Notre Dame is the founding of the Scholastic, in 1863. The editors must have always had a sense of hu ' mor or they would not have printed much of what they did. The Scholastic has been termed the unofficial humor magayne of Notre Dame. Some Scholastic editors have writhed under this subtitle, and others have taken advantage of it. When it became The Daily, a column purported to have been written by a Mr. Grundy, was eagerly read. Since the Scholastic has returned to its present form, two columns. The V eeh, and The WinJ(, have been conducted in a humorous vein. Another column. Coming Events, is often unintentionally humorous because of its vast amount of misinformation. Three thousand students have jammed Washington Hall to see Greta Garbo, only to learn there was a debate scheduled. The funny papers came into vogue, so the Dome, with its Jun ' ior Sections, answered the campus demand in 1909. I understand that the former editors of the Dome are suing the perpetrators of the A. A. Book pictures for plagiarism. In 1919, Delmar J. Edmundsen and a little group decided that the unofficial humor in the campus publications that went unnoticed other than by a few, should be preserved for pos ' terity. Posterity, however, has as yet ignored the humor at Notre Dame, but when pos ' terity believes that its remarks are very clever, the files of the Juggler will be evidence that the remarks were thought of long before posterity itself. Humor at Notre Dame is not confined to the student body. The faculty also must have a sense of humor. Granting that several members of this faculty are firmly convinced that the classToom is the ultimate mausoleum for worn ' out jokes and that several of them have jokes which can be predicted with astronomical certitude, the quality of the humor is high. Incidentally, several contributors to the Juggler have confessed playing Boswell to their professors. Perhaps the greatest evidence of humor in the faculty is the reaction to the answers received from qui2;2;es and examinations. The casualties would be much greater if a sav ing sense of humor did not prevent the professors from flying into a just rage. There is at least one professor who will give full credit if the answer is very funny. There is something about Notre Dame that stimulates the humor. Many of the wise ' cracks and puns are poor, but the average of good ones is high. Page 398 ik ' ' Og O DOME OF 19 3 1 yC S . S m i I I And now ' — ' the DEDICATION (By that fine old line ' up of writing Irish, Boyle, Sullivan, and O ' Donnell, who all send shamrocks on St. Valentine ' s day, God bless ' em.) This Section of the Dome is Dedicated ' — ' AFFECTIONATELY to all the campus Pats and Mikes whose sense of humor has made school a pleasure in spite of all that exams and discipline could do. REGRETFULLY to all the wild Irish lads who played too hard at being playboys of the western world and now form part of our vast body of almost alumni. and CORDIALLY to all the campus Dutchmen, Spaniards, Mexicans, Filipinos, Poles, Frenchmen, Jews, Swedes, and the two Englishmen who wore a bit of green on Mar ch 17 for the sake of the Irish. , Shure, an ' ' tis a grand stand ' up fight we ' U all be in fir in the following pages. Come on along, all av yez;, an ' see the fun! Page 399 ' ' THE. D O rvl E OF 19 3 1 Where Fathers Are Pals to Their Boys Fathers! Mothers! Aunts! Uncles! Guardians! Stepfathers! Is your child unruly? Does he come in late for dinner with his trousers torn and knuckles skinned from play ing marbles with the roughnecks across the tracks? Is his tongue coated? His eyes weak? His mind unbalanced? If so, send him to Notre Dame. There you can be sure he will receive the same loving care and protection you would give him at home. Notre Dame University, where fathers are pals to their boys, was founded in the wilds of northern Indiana in 1842 by six members of the Congregation of the Holy Cross from France. The wilds grew wilder as the years passed, until disciplinary measures took care of that, too. Paternalism is a wise and beneficent rule which the young men heartily approve of and gladly support. It says so in the undergraduate manual and must be true. Disci ' pline is maintained strictly (Yea bo!), but always with the boys ' own best interests at heart. This develops in them manliness of character and a great aptitude for griping. The dem ' ocratic spirit rules at Notre Dame. There are no fraternities with childish hazing of fresh ' men by upper classmen. Ha2,ing by the administration is indiscriminate, however, and sen ' iors are treated much the same as freshmen. They are not able to learn much in four years, anyway. Little or no protest is made by the mannerly youths. In the early days of the school they w ere extremely well ' trained, and the boys in Carroll and Brownson Halls marched to classes in silence. For recreation they took hikes through the countryside, if permission were granted, and an instructor accompanied the group. A liberalizing policy gradually set in, reaching its peak in the so ' called he ' man days immediately after the World War. The boys became alarmingly independent, and life for a time was free and easy. A glance through old Domes shows that dances and other social events were much more frequent than now. Dispensations such as all night pers for seniors on the night of the Ball were granted. The foUy of such unbridled license was soon perceived. The loosened reins were tightened up and once again the boys are completely cared for. Send Junior to Notre Dame and he will be safe out of harm ' s way unless he is run down by the Western Union messenger boy ' s bicycle. Once upon a time anyone there who had buttons on his vest was a sissy, because in the process of skiving out all the buttons were torn off, according to reports of the more devilish of the old boys. In 1922 an editorial appeared in the Scholastic advocat ' ing the trial of an open Sorin for a short period. It argued (imagine!) that after three years of training, when they were almost ready to step out into the world, seniors should not be governed by practically the same rules as apply to freshmen. Nothing ever came of this subversive editorial flare ' up, we are glad to say, and now matters have im- proved to the point where no Scholastic staff member would think of writing such an article. 4l THe DOME OF 1931 i1 I Over seven years ago a newspaper was begun by several students and christened the Notre Dame Daily. This sheet gained the reputation of being quite out ' spoken. For a while the campus seemed almost alive, and the publication was eagerly awaited by stu ' dents. The Daily, for some strange reason, is now happily defunct, and the campus once more drowses peacefully. In former years, also, there was an organization known as the S. A. C, which dc fended what it considered to be the rights of the students. It is rumored that this body is still functioning, as elections are held for it every spring. Campus observers are very cynical about it, however, and insist that if still alive, it is only a convenient group of yes ' men for the school authorities, who now alone make all decisions pertaining to the health and happiness of the kiddies in their charge. In the following few scenes of life at the school, we have attempted to catch the jolly spirit of cameraderie that prevails at the old institution, where nature teems, where na ' ture teems, and where the football teams are doing quite well also, thank you. And now, after this brief but all too long synopsis, you may go on with the story. And strictly at your own risk, too. Chorus Fathers, be Pals to your boys! Don ' t take away all their joys. We ' re quite young. But not so dumb, — really. Give us the break that we need. Give us the old helping hand, Cut out the cold reprimand. All we get Is just the boot,- — outward. So, Fathers, be Pals to your boys! Seniors, Juniors, Sophomores,— 2,000 strong, (They sing this song) ; Fifty million Freshmen cannot be wrong. (And so we say:) Far from our homes and our mothers, We are dependent on others. So, prefects, rectors. All of our correctors, Be Father and Pals to your boys! A.L.B. K: Page 401 mmm THE DOME OF 1931 f Even the Dumb Dome was sincerely affected by the death of Knute Rockne. On this page we had planned to run a pic ture which Rock had good-naturedly posed for with a fa ' mous movie comedian. We had written facetiously of his retirement in favor of the screen comic, who was to take charge of Notre Dame football next year. Mr. Rockne, of course, always a good sport, would never have minded. But soon after our Dumb Dome material was finished, Rock ' s retirement was decreed from an infinitely higher source. He has passed beyond us. Yet here his spirit will always carry on. In its own dumb way, the Dumb Dome has tried to add one more tribute to the thousands already given Rock — friend of all good fellows, and especially the men of Notre Dame. •:! v O Page 402 H 1 . .

Back there to the left is the old Satire Editor, himself; and right in front is Joe Lauerman. Moving up is Malky McVean; and leading the troupe is Bob Balfe. Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy I Talk About Fun! And here are some more of the Notre Dame kiddies out for a harmless froUc on the greensward under the vigilant eye of the Walsh Hall rector. No such wild pastimes here as roUer ' skating, tricyck ' racing, or Going to Jerusalem. No, indeedy! Under the ben ' evolent guidance of their play instructors, the boys are allowed to become champions in such mild sports as football, basketball, baseball, and track. Any rougher games would be dangerous to their health, for which the school is extremely solicitous. Every pupil must be in his room at ten every night to get his proper share of sleep. It is just too bad for him if he hasn ' t had his proper share by 7:50 A. M., for at that time he is bounced out of bed with a hearty laugh and a dirty look which invigorate him for the rest of the day. LATE BULLETIN (The Dome gets those, too.) It was stated authoritatively at noon today that these four suspects were not, as re- ported above, out for their exercise. Underneath that academic garb, the sneaks have concealed soft ' boiled eggs, gathered from the many left at the Dining-Hall on Friday morn ' ing. They are planning an Egg ' roU on the Walsh lawn any minute now. What fun! says the leader excitedly. Shortly after this little fray, a wagon rolled up, the back door opened, and the four were trundled away to their Httle beds in the paranoiac ward at Logansport, Ind. Page 404  C T H e DO ME OF 19 3 1 II Captain McVat Five years ago Malky McVat came to Notre Dame, a transfer student from Miss Far ' well ' s exclusive Elmira Reform School. He immediately made his presence felt on the campus, and was feted by the student body at an informal goofing party back of the old boathouse in October of his freshman year. His rise to fame has since been rapid. In 1928 he was voted the most popular boy on the fifth floor of Morrissey Hall, and for the last three years he has led all dining ' hall hashers in the number of soup ' bowls broken. And now he has been elected captain of the football team. Captain McVat has been at Notre Dame for five years, but is still eligible for a year of football, since he forgot to go to classes during his first two years and consequently was not a student, but merely a wild roomer on the campus. He has never played football before, but Malky looks for ' ward to a great season. He was selected as the ideal type to captain the ' 31 aggregation, and his fine sense of the ridiculous and uncanny ability to diagnose the contents of the water ' bucket stamp him as an outstanding man to be watched if you enjoy good, clean fun. Bigger and better boners on the world ' s loudest and funniest football team are promised by McVat and his playmates. Malky will graduate next February with the de ' gree of B. R. T. Page 40S THE DOME OF 1931 y t The Rollo boys themselves! (And Dan Bax ' ter, that dirty sneak). Here we present the original Rollo boys, beloved heroes of The Rollo Boys on the Lower Mississippi, The Rollo Boys in Hollywood, and The Rollo Boys on the Make and many others, in the flesh and in the pink of their peculiar condi ' tion. These perennial freshmen plan to spend the next forty- four years of their college life at Notre Dame. Mounting the ladder is Dick, the eldest of the Rollo boys. Sam, the young ' est, is seen holding the broom. Harpo, we mean Tom, the fun-loving Rollo — ha, ha! par- don us while we laugh — is seated on the ground, up to his usual tricks again. In the rear is the cowardly Dan Baxter. What per- fidious villainy can he be scheming now? Per- haps he is planning to tell the rector that our young friends have intoxicants in their pos- session, whereas the heroic Rollo boys are mere- ly bringing in cough syrup to relieve the stricken sore throat sufferers of Walsh Hall. ' Welcome, Rollo Bojis. ' The Rollo Boys at Notre Dame Wuxtry! Wuxtry! Good news of good times! Those happy funsters, the Rollo boys, have enrolled at Notre Dame! A Dumb Dome reporter learned yesterday that the three Rollo boys and Dan Baxter, their back ' biting sidekick, who have been delighting youngsters the world over with their antics and gay coUitch pranks in the preceding four hundred and eightysix volumes of this series, are now students at Notre Dame. After going to school at Putnam Hall for the last sixty-seven years and taking each course over nine times, the Rollo boys have decided to continue their education at this university. Questioned by the Dumb Dome representative, Dick Rollo blushingly admitted that the Rollo boys ' girl-friends, Dora Stanhope and Grace and Nellie Lantry, had registered at St. Mary ' s and would be their guests at the Sophomore Cotillion next year. The Rollo boys at old N. D. break out in another of their inimitable escapades which have made them the idols of American youth since 1 864 ' . Our young friends are pictured here about to present a Herring medal for 1931 to Israel Potts, freshman extraordinary. Mr. Potts was chosen as the recipient of the award by the Rollo boys for extreme valor under fire on the evening of January 6 in the east dining hall. Potts was forced to sit at the same table with eleven sophomores who were still telling stories about their Mcaning no offense. Mr. Corey Ford. m Page 406 §« THE DOME OF 1931 wild Christmas vacations. It seems that every one of them had wrecked at least one car and caused three girls to fall des ' perately in love with him. Each man of the world exclaimed, Boy, were we drunk! six times during the progress of the meal, frequently varying this expression with Geez, were we plastered! and None of us could get up till two the next afternoon. Potts took this horrible beating like the little man he was and never once flinched, not even when the gent across the table pointed to his budding mustache and simpered, Has it growed any yet? Mr. Potts heroically managed to keep a straight face until the meal was over, and thus became a logical candidate for the coveted Herring medal, second only to the Kibitzer Prize among N. D. awards. Sam, the youngest of the RoUos, is pictured at the bottom of the ladder bearing the famous gold ' plated herring. Tom, fun ' loving RoUo, schemed up this little surprise party on medalist Potts.

Scholastic ' s Best Col umn Comment Well, here we are getting our famous (?) column out again. Ye ed was out to Mish ' awaka last night, and as a result the famous (?) weekly might be a bit late this week. Ye ed seems to be spending a lot of time in Mishawaka — South Bend ' s most famous (?) suburb — lately. We wonder what ye ed finds so interesting out there. We bet it ' s something more than business. Well, de gustibus non est disputandum (of taste there is no disputing). We hope the Judge is making out all right. More power to you, Judge! (Editor ' s note: Thanks.) (Author ' s note: O. K., Judge.) We wish to call to the attention of the readers of this column a very serious matter. It has to do with traditions. As you all know, traditions are very sacred at Notre Dame. In fact, they are as much a part of Notre Dame as Notre Dame itself. Without traditions there would be no Notre Dame. Notre Dame would not be the same without its tradi ' tions. In other words, the old school just wouldn ' t be itself. What we are getting around to is that it ' s a sin to say Nerts to traditions. Traditions are O. K., in spite of all these here smart freshmen what go around sneer ' ing at them. Where is the good old Vigilance Committee? They are supposed to see that all these smart ajeks revere, and respect, and don ' t go giving the bird to traditions. We want action! How about it? Can ' t you read those signs about smoking on the quad ' rangle? Page 408 « m ? . THe DOME OF 1931 Scholastic ' s Best Editorial Commenting on the following editorial, Dick RoUo said, It is much better than those which appeared in the good old Putnam Hall Gazette while I was editor of that magazine. But, of course, down there the faculty gave us credit for being too bright and allowed us to handle the Gazette ourselves a3 a student publication. This Thing Called Grammar We feel that, being on the editorial board of the Scholastic, and therefore of an un ' questionably high intellectual standing, schooled in the intricacies of the English language, to say nothing of the Scandanavian, learned in grammar from the simple matter of con ' jugations to the more complex business of the cases of pronouns, we feel, therefore, as we was saying back in the first line, that we can safely venture a word or two, or even more, of advice about this here now thing called grammar. We do not refer to grandpa ' s wife. Grammar is a wonderful thing. Hardly anyone uses correct grammar on this here campus but the engineers and Albert. You can learn grammar from books or from read ' ing the Scholastic, but why bother with these, when you can benefit a whole lot more by listening to the wise words that flow from the mouths of these engineering fellows and Albert. If you have never been brightened by the waters that flow from these founts of wisdom, you should do so pretty soon. Take old Albert, for instance. Just try say- ing Hello, Albert, to him. Try it some day. Then take out your note book and jot down all that Albert has to say in return to your friendly little greeting. We bet it will s ur ' prise you. The sage of the campus we calls him. To heck with the grammar books when Albert is around! Maybe you don ' t think grammar is so important. Maybe you think that people don ' t notice your mistake when you say Between you and me instead of Between you and I. But, fellows, to be brutally frank, people out in the world — business men, and truck drivers, and doctors, and all like that — they notice it, all right. You betcha they do. When you think they are just smiling to be pleasant, they may be laughing inside at them little errors of speech what you are making. So watch out for what you are saying, and do not go around blowing off without thinking, like Art Shires does. Now take this here word ain ' t, for instance. You should take it and throw it in the lake. Or bury it in the school cemetery. It don ' t belong. It ' s as out of place in a cultured fellow ' s vocabulary as red pants at a cattle show. No really educated person say ain ' t. You never heard Mr. Rockefeller say, I ain ' t got no money. You never heard Mr. Alphonse Capone say, I ain ' t got nothing to do with that racket. Did you, now? Of course you didn ' t. So if you want to be somebody like these guys, lay olf that ain ' t stuff. ANOTHER LATE NEWS BULLETIN It was strenuously denied at noon today by Emil L. Telfel, editor ' in ' chief of the Scholastic, that his editorial had won first pri e. Dirrrrty work! snarled Emil, It ' s that old debbil S.A.C. again! The editorial in question never appeared in the Scholastic, it seems. Considering that it does not allude to the class pins, the Blue Circle, silent cheering, dirty class poli ' tics, the faculty dance committee or the A. A. book pictures, maybe he ' s right. Beg your pardon, Emil! Page 409 THE DOME OF 1931 y t % figure I By special permission of the copyright owners, the Rollo boys here present ex- cerpts from their inimitable YianAy Graduation Wand.- hoo . The boys have been on the verge of graduation ever since 1868, and are regarded as the foremost American authorities on the subject. As our young readers have prob- ably noticed, they appear nearly always dressed in cap and gown in anticipation of the great event. They expect to obtain the coveted sheep- skins from Notre Dame any time now during the twen- tieth century, as soon as the remaining 86J volumes of the Rollo boys series are com- pleted. The Etiquette oF Graduation Remember that the world will judge your good breeding by the manner in which you conduct yourself at commencement time. Therefore it is well to bear the following points in mind: (1) Wow to Greet the Fol}{s: Women are not permitted to enter the residence halls. Do not make them climb the stairs; meet them outside. It will thrill your mother when she finds you waiting for her outside the hall in the manner illustrated in Figure 1 . Study the picture carefully. Note the finesse of the expert who posed for it. Then imitate it. Let your mother and sweetheart greet you in this condition. Then they can say, My, how you have changed! and mean it. Master this situation before you proceed further. Remember, first impressions count the most. (2) Be Considerate of Tour Fellow Students. Do not whistle when a classmate escorts a girl across the campus. She may be your maiden aunt. Conduct yourself with dig ' nity, and when another is in need of conducting, conduct him with as much dignity as possible under the circumstances. Give him the old helping hand. Bear in mind the immor- tal words of the poet: Td e him up tenderly. Lift him with care Fashion d so slenderly. Young, and so fair! Brush or sweep the dirt off his clothes. Be sure to carry him into the presence of all his friends. (3) Evening Etiquette: Do not remain long in the presence of your parents, lest your classmates think you a sissy. Abandon the folks at the earliest opportunity and go with the boys to have one last riot in town. The folks will enjoy looking about the cam ' pus themselves. Wear your cap and gown at all the speakeasies. The bartender will be interested in knowing that you are a senior. And it adds a lot to the name of the school. . THE DOME OF 1931 A play is usually given the evening be ' fore commencement. The purpose of the play is to entertain your guests. Conduct your visitors to the University Theatre, find them a seat behind one of the posts that support the balcony and make a graceful departure. Beat it off to town. (4) Baccalaureate Services: Come late. It is always best to miss the first act at an opera; similarly, it is best to miss all you can of a mass without hav ' ing failed to discharge your religious du ' ties. Sleep soundly during the sermon, but do not snore. If you should have the misfortune to awake just at coUec tion time, do not lose your presence of mind. Nudge your companions, faint, and have them carry you out. Do not ' applaud the preacher or the choir. (5) Dinner: Your folks sent you to Notre Dame because they could not stand you any longer at home. Show them now that Notre Dame has taught you to take care of yourself at the din ' ner table. Grab the platter nearest you. plate. Demand a break on the butter. Figure 2 Empty most of its contents onto your own Reach down the table for a fist full of bread. Spill milk and coffee all over the table to demonstrate the weather-proof qualities of the varnish. It never fails to impress your companions. Shuffle your feet. Shout Amen! after grace has been said. Do not forget to gripe about the food, at the same time leav ing the impression that it is one hundred per cent better than any you have had in your four years at college. Leave before the meal is over. (6) Commencement Exercises: Stand when the rest of the class has seated itself upon the platform, so that your relatives can see you. Wave to your friends in the au ' dience. See Figure 2. Stumble about when you go to receive your diploma. Open it at once. If it is blank, as it probably will be, and contains a notice to the effect that the dc gree has been withheld for nou ' payment of a two ' cent library fine, shout the news to a friend in the vicinity. Then, standing in a conspicuous position, unroll the blank diploma, and, with a look of utter disdain, tear it into shreds. This will impress your friends with your independence of spirit and will notify the world in general that you have no intention of depending upon a degree for your success. Betake yourself to your seat in high dudgeon. (7) h cidentals: As soon as you have escaped from the commencement exercises, demonstrate your freedom by walking majestically up the front steps of the Main Build ' ing. Descend slowly, with a cigarette dangling nonchalantly from your jowls. Smoke furiously while on the quadrangle. Walk on the grass. Never give way to a member of the faculty should you meet one. Force him off the path. Assume a superior atti ' tude when conversing with anyone in disciplinary authority. Criticise the building pro ' gram and bewail the athletic renown of the University. You are now a fuU ' fledged alumnus. THE DON IE OF 1931 y A Day at the Beach It seems that our newlyfound pals no sooner struck the campus than social life be ' gan to blossom as of yore. Here we catch the roguish rascals, often referred to (by them ' selves) as America ' s Boy Friends, on a jolly old ' fashioned picnic party beside one of the campus lakes. Grouped about them in this fetching pose are the more uppity mem ' bers of the Lyons Hall smart set. Groucho, or rather, Dick, the eldest (do we have to tell you again that Dick is the eldest of the Rollo boys?) became temporarily indisposed immediately after eating one of the cucumber sandwiches with not too, much mustard, please. i He was munching away peacefully, thinking of ideas for their next book ( The Rollo Boys Up the Alley ) when Sam yelled suddenly, Hi, Dick, I ' ve caught a crab! Tell him to beat it; we don ' t want any of the economics profs busting in on this pic nic, was the lightning rejoinder. Hearty laughter, a few polite birdies, and a stiff poke in the jaw greeted Dick ' s sally. The latter was from Tom, the fun ' loving Rollo. Don ' t you know by now I make all the saUies in the Rollo boys ' books? he de ' manded, petulantly. Oh, yeah? retorted Sam, the youngest of the RoUos, quick as a flash, how about, the one back of the perfume counter at Kresge ' s you couldn ' t make last Tuesday? Immediately after this crack, we are glad to inform our young readers, the youngest of the RoUos was laid out stiff er, if possible, than his brother Dick. He recovered quick ' ly, however, and is seen above with his brother Tom and a group of admirers helping to resuscitate Dick. The boys hope to use material they gathered on this outing for a short story — The Rollo Boys on a Toot — which they are to complete by June 1 for Mr. Fenlon ' s short story class. But every thing isn ' t sweetness and light at Notre Dame, as the pranksters soon dis ' covered. Immediately after purchasing from Bill Kirby ' s news-stand, a copy ($.25) of the Descriptive Booklet About the University Dining Halls, Tom Rollo was seen being spirited away toward the 4th Gold Coast, by three men in an armored car. Like the assas ' sination of the Arch-duke of Austria, this was the spark that set off the fire- works, and on the next day searing headlines seared across the newspapers. War!!!!

A history text was found on him when apprehended later. Suspicion was imme- diately directed at him, as no one who has lawful busi- ness in Sorin sub ever carries a boo . Notre Dame, Ind., March 17, 1931. — Notre Dame ' s bitter gang warfare for control of campus rackets, which has been brewing quietly for months, today flared up in a sensational St. Patrick ' s day massa ' ere in which seven hoodlums who had been aligned with the Tom Bugs Swift and Frank Nuts Merriwell combination were slain at the south entrance to Sorin sub. Campus police had no definite clue last night, but indicated startling revelations would be forthcoming before tomorrow morning. A bitter feud has been in progress be ' tween the Swift ' Merriwell outfit and the ruthless Rollo brothers gang for some time. The latter has been accused of muscling in on the lucrative concessions enjoyed by the Swift ' Merriwell followers, especially the immensely profitable A. A. book picture racket. The Rollo crowd is supreme on the east side of the campus, and has sought to extend its sway west into the rich Gold Coast district. This was resented by the rival group and hostilities developed. Last night ' s affair was the latest defi of N. D. gangdom to the administration. Among those put on the spot in the massacre was a Dumb Dome reporter, Al ' bert Jake Bingle, who had been assigned to cover underworld news especially for this publication. He had been spending most of his time and expense account lately in the local tunnel system and the campus subs. Rewards totaling $25,000.10 have been offered for the arrest and conviction of his killer by the Dumb Dome, Scholas tic. Dome, Juggler, and Scrip. Campus police reconstructing the crime at first inclined to a suicide theory, based on a confidential tip that the seven hoodlums were to be denied a share in the cap and gown and junior pins concessions next year. This theory was discarded later, however. A search is being insti ' tuted for Terrible Tommy, the fun ' lov ing Rollo, who police believe may have en ' gineered the massacre just for a lark. Or (Continued on page IS, column 1) « ' Page 413 THE DOME OF1931 it is possible that the motive was revenge, since Dan Baxter, the sneak, joined the Swift ' Merriwell crew soon after he ma ' triculated here. None of the ringleaders were included among the victims, how ever. Two of Tom Swift ' s electric rifles, with which all members of his gang were equipped, were found at the scene of the crime. A sensational angle of the case was re- vealed when it became known that a mys ' terious Rev. R. was present at the scene of the shooting and would be able to fur ' nish positive identification of the killer. He was given a severe grilling at police headquarters last night, but remained un ' shaken in his story that the gunman was a tall, powerful, dark man, rather slight in build, with blond wavy hair, about five and a half feet tall, and wore a pair of ten ' nis shoes, a smoking jacket and a derby hat which concealed his straight brown hair. rather thin at the top. I can ' t recall much about his face, said Father R. I was fascinated by his sleevcgarters. Campus police are working slowly, but promise sensational developments soon. Meanwhile the political angles of the case are not being overlooked. These fellows receive protection somewhere, Chief O ' Hooey declared. Where do they get it? I am going to the bottom of this af ' fair and intend to find the higher ' ups. The finger of suspicion may reach the highest elements in the S. A. C. and the Blue Cir ' de. In the meantime, remember the $25,000.10 reward for the capture of the murderer of reporter Bingle. Remember, this $63,891.53 prize offer is open to every one except members of the Dumb Dome staff and their families, if any. Who knows? You may win the $46,381,927 %5 , (1[?l 462, !!! • m Have You Seen This Car?

Page 414 h ! y N TH£ DOMg OF 1931 O : ,QQgl O0OC After Graduation, — What? After winning his monogram in Chesterfields, Tom, — yes, he ' s the fun-loving RoUo, — graduates to Camels with Dan Baxter. As has been noted, the boys kept in their caps and gowns almost continually while at Notre Dame (who said slept?) because they constantly feared expulsion and were ready to stage the r own impromptu commencement exercises at any time. They have now been requested to leave for smoking herrings on the quadrangle and because of their unsavory connection with the St. Patrick ' s day massacre. Before leaving Notre Dame, the plucky Rollo boys, smiling through their tears, donated a complete set of their books to the university library. The administration is considering the addition of a new wing on the building to hold all of them. We regret seeing our young friends, the Rollo boys, leave school, remarked the president on their departure. They certainly pepped things up around here. I remem ' ber the first day they came and changed all the carillon tunes to Happy Days Are Here Again. And the time Tom tried to burn down the Main Building — ha, ha! — those guys are certainly good. All other University officials echoed the president ' s sentiments. The student body was in universal mourning, for it was felt that Dan Baxter and the RoUos would have formed an ideal backfield on the football team next year. The only other cause for regret is that Mr. and Mrs. Rollo could not be notified in time for their boys ' informal graduation. They had been looking forward to the event eagerly ever since Rollo, Sr., had been mus ' tered out of the Union army after the Civil War. Asked for a statement regarding the sudden graduation of the Rollo Boys, Jim Arm ' strong, Alumni secretary, said: The possibilities of the Rollo Boys becoming members of the Alumni Association are very good. I might say that never before in their hves have the possibihties been greater. In our great big happy family (cries of hurrah from the great unpaid mem ' bership) the boys will fit in ideally. Mr. Rollo has agreed to pay their dues in shipments of produce from his farm. Already three bushels of rubbish have arrived, which I have turned over to Mr. Borland. Tom, the fun ' loving Rollo, has agreed to sprinkle arsenic in the cofFee ' CUps at the next Universal Notre Dame night dinner. Page 41 y THE. DOM OF 19 3 1 Ode: To a Beer Gard en Stranger, pause!

It was declaimed from the steps of the Main Building by Dan Baxter (the sneak). Immediately after reading it, Dick RoUo felled him with a blow, and the boys stowed away on a monoplane at the South Bend airport for another of their exciting adventures, entitled The RoUo Boys on Land and Seasick. Soon after that we will follow the destinies of our young friends in their next volume, The RoUo Boys in Search of a Job, which promises to be the most ambitious undertaking of their series. We turn over the rest of the satire section to our wiUing helper, Les Raddatz. He isn ' t Irish, and so we had to let him sneak in through the back cover. But now the time has come to say good ' bye.

Let the star below represent the Youth Market, 11,675,492 strong (to use round num ' bers) . Of course, that is not so much (only 11,675,492 after all). But, aha, we are not through yet. The star below represents the Youth Market of Chillicothe, Ohio (26 all told) . The only reason we included it was to show you how silly it would be to try to sell anything to a bunch of people who were trying to learn how to spell Chillicothe correctly. Besides we happened to have an old cut that would fit in here nicely. After all the page must be filled. Well, here it is. Take it or leave it. Immediately below this paragraph are two stars. The reason for this is simple. Everything must go in pairs. Otherwise there would be no Youth Market, and with ' out that what would this page talk about. • The star below represents the spending portion of the Notre Dame market. It isn ' t very big; in fact one would almost be tempted to go back to Chillicothe. But, after all, this is YOUTH. May we submit the usual grafts, booklets, etc.? Just drop us a line. Selah!

THE DOME OF 19 3 1 ; The Mysterious Death of a Senior Manager Time — September. Scene— A managers ' meeting in the gym. Dramatis Personae — The Senior Manager. Seven Junior Managers. Ten Sophomore Managers. (As the scene opens the Senior Manager is speak- ing in a hushed voice to his cohorts. All are masked — for atmosphere, of course.) Senior Manager — Fellow racket — , I mean fellow managers, another year is about to begin. It should be a good one for our great managers ' system. Is it not a solemn thought that only five years ago Notre Dame had no organized managerial system? Think of all those bills for trans ' portation and equipment that were let ride with no padding at all. Efficiency has be come the watchword, hasn ' t it? Seven Junior Managers — Yes, sir. Ten Sophomore Managers — Yes, sir. Senior Manager — ' We must do something to make the system even more efficient than it has been in the past. Each year some outstanding contribution has been made. Dan made a name for himself last year with the A. A. book pictures. We must do better than that, for, after all, those pictures were only fifty cents each. We can think of something that will make more money than that and at the same time make the managers ' system more effi ' cient, can ' t we? Seven Junior Managers — Yes, sir. Ten Sophomore Managers — Yes, sir. The Senior Manager — Now there are a number of ways open to improve our efficiency. We could insist upon finger ' prints in the A. A. books so that there would be no ticket scalping. We could easily get a dollar from each sucker, . . . er, Continued on page 4S6J THIS BOOK is cased in an S. K.

My first idea was to take the silent cheering section away from the S. A. C, but the Scholastic spoiled that for us. Another good idea would be to force each student to buy a program for every game. We could easily boost the price of student programs to a dollar, don ' t you think? Seven Junior Managers — Yes, sir. Ten Sophomore Managers — Yes, sir. The Senior Manager — Or we might even do both. I have here a box in which you are to place slips of paper saying which of these systems in your opinion is the more efficient. If you prefer both, say so. There is no use in trying to slip over any fast ones on a group of managers, so I will tell you right now that this voting is all fixed. You might as well go through with it though. That is the beauty of the managers ' system; we always give some ' thing in return. Now, for instance, I am making you fellows feel good by letting you vote. It was the same wtih the A. A. book pictures. Instead of merely lifting a half ' buck from everyone, we gave all the customers a two ' cent picture. The dining hall management has something of the same idea. I don ' t know though . . . oh, well, vote anyway. (The men line up and slowly pass by the box, the cynics (of which there are very feW in the managers ' group) dropping in only blank slips of paper. Sud- denly as one masked figure passes, a knife flashes in the dim light and the Senior Manager falls. The other seventeen men catch the murderer and hold him.) Seven Junior Managers — Who are you? Ten Sophomore Managers (through force of habit) — Yes, sir. The Murderer — I am the fellow who invented the Notre Dame Managers ' sys ' tem. Some people know me as Al Capone. curtain.
