THE REDWOOD 25 line of athletics, and promising that with its co-operation Santa Clara would this year maintain the high standing in American football which it formerly held in Rugby. The election of Executive Secretary was next in order, the position being left vacant by the failure of Francis M. Conneally, secretary-elect, to return to college. Louis F. Buty, who had been acting as secretary pro tem. was chosen for the position. Edwin R. Harter, chief yell leader in ' 16, who has now returned to Santa Clara after 16 months overseas, was called upon by President Veit for a few remarks. Mr. Harter spoke on the Santa Clara Spirit , drawing an ana- logy from the unconquerable spirit of the doughboy over there . He urged the students to foster and maintain that spirit at all times, whether on the athletic field, or along other lines of endeavor. With the conclusion of Mr. Harter ' s remarks, the meeting ad- journed. Philaletic Senate Tuesday evening, Sep- tember 2nd, saw the Philalethic Senate once more in session, Father Nicholas Bell, S. J., presiding. The evening was chief- ly devoted to the election of officers for the coming year, and the proposal of the new names of former Philhistorians, as prospective members of the astute body of Senators. The men selected to carry the honors and glory of the Sen- ate during the forthcoming year have all shone forth in oratorical grandeur, while serving in the House, and possess the qualifications necessary for admit- tance to the Philalethic body. They are:— T. Bricca, R. O ' Neill, J. Hender- son, P. Morettini, L. Buty, W. Koch, A. Ferrario, E. Coman, E. Heafey, W. Des- mond, T. Kaney, J. Connell, T. Crowe, T. Sturdivant, and L. Trabucco. From all appearances the Senate will enjoy the most successful year that it has seen for some time. Last year, as is well known, because of the army re- gime, oratorical attainments were put aside and forgotten almost completely, — lost, as it were, in the military whirl- pool of warlike achievements. Now, however, that the sword is sheathed, and the rifle is clothed in a cloak of preservative cosmolene, the Senate is once more prepared to welcome its members, both old and new. The following were elected to office for the coming year: Vice-President, Henry C. Veit; Secretary, Edwin R. Harter ; Corresponding Secretary, Thomas J. Moroney; Treasurer, Thom- as E. Whelan; Sergeant-at-Arms, James B. O ' Connor; Librarian, W. Ward Sullivan. ,, , The first meeting of the House of Tj -T e r»KMt-« 1. • House gave evidence of Philhistorians ,-,,•, a brilliant year m de- bating among the Freshmen and Soph- omores of the University.

26 THE REDWOOD members that every opportunity would be offered them to exercise and devel- op their powers in oratory during the ensuing term. The Freshmen were ov- erwhelmingly the victors in the elec- tion for officers. Eepresentative Neary was elected Clerk ; Representative Don- ovan, Corresponding Secretary ; the honor of Treasurer was bestowed upon Representative Gleeson and Sergeant- •at-Arms was entrusted to Representa- tive Leavey. The political triumph of the evening was the unanimous elec- ftion of Representative Finnegan to the office of Librarian. . The Junior Dramatic Junior Dram- .. i, . „ . Society has once more started its regular weekly meetings. At the first of these, held on September 9th, with Father Re- gan presiding, the following officers for the coming term were elected : Vice- President, John B. O ' Brien; Secretary, John K. Lipman; Treasurer, James A. Toner; Sergeant-at-Arms, Raymond E. MeCauley. The following new members were ad- mitted: Francis E. Coles, Jr., J. C. De- vine, Gaspero M. Del Mutolo, Karl Koch, S. Martin, W. Makemson, Ray- mond W. Shelloe, and Frank L. Smith. This Society is the younger brother of the Senate and the House, and exer- cises as great a function in prep circles, as do those societies in college. It is in the J. D. S. that embryo Ryland de- baters first sprout forth with oratori- cal vehemence, later to develop into the eloquent leaders of whom Santa Clara feels so proud. Undoubtedly there are many graduates of Santa Clara who now look back upon their first efforts in the J. D. S. and attribute, in no small degree, the success which they may have attained to those ambitious mo- ments. From the spirit manifested at the in- itial meeting, it may be predicted that the Society is about to enjoy one of the most successful years of its career. It is rumored that other doings , beside mere debating, will be in order this year, but their exact nature we have been unable to determine as yet. Something lofty, perhaps. As is said, you can never sometimes tell what you least expect the most , so for the present we must patiently sit by, and await further developments. Senior Society The initial meeting of the Senior Sodality was held on September 8th, under the enthusiastic guidance of Di- rector Fr. Boland. The attendance was most gratifying, as practically the en- tire collegiate student body was repre- sented. The Senior Sodality, like other student organizations, was temporarily disrupted during the period of the war, but this year will witness its return to the important position which it held in former years. Officers elected for the present semester are: Prefect, Thomas J. Moroney; First Assistant, William
