it I THE STAFF EDITOR IN CHIEF Dorothy Gelinas BUSINESS MANAGERS Richard Dew Alice Thorne Mary Kicilinski ART EDITOR Daniel Kicilinski REPORTERS Barbara Daly Richard Riley Eleanor Vlass Francis Henuset Gladys Kooyumjian ,Jlh EDITORIAL June, the month of gradua- tion, is here. The fitting of caps and gowns, receiving class rings,and exchanging graduation pictures are only a few bits of the excitement going on. But finally, after years of study, no more classes are to be held and no more courses to be chosen, class meetings are over exams are over, and the bus can pass by without the worry of missing it--that part of youth has gone, never to return. Yet,in another sense, this is only the beginning. Study may be put aside, but the know- ledge attained from the many years of schuoling will be em- bodied in youthful minds for- ever, to be acted upon and enriched with a new meaning, by experiences of maturity. The entire future depends on what, in those years of study, the graduates have achieved. The reward of that diploma will re- main as a symbol of the many A QREAT AMERICAN PASTIME Indulgence, in one form or another, has been experienced by everybody. There are many different ways of performing this pastime. Recently I have observed many typical types Of indulgers which I shall now de- scribe. The first type is often seen in restaurants and soda fountains, so we snall classify them as Juke-box Johnnies. They usually rush in. in 9 reat hurry and quickly order gheir cokes. One thinks they will only stay a minute to quench their thirst. But do they stay for a minute? They do not. You just try to tear them away from their cokes and they'll barb at you to leave them alone. KHere I wish to note that most teen-agers fit into this group., Tnese char- acters nurse their cokes along, fearing the dreadful moment when the glass is empty. To them the symbol of an empty coke glass is for all good fellows to part and wend their weary ways home. In contrast to this type is the more adult drinker. CUsually in this class fit the early morning workers., These characters rush into hamburger stands, diners, etc., and gulp down scalding cups of strong coffee. The way in which they quickly, almost furtively, drink their coffee makes one think they are afraid to be seen 'at this practice so early in the morning. In this same class are the doughnut dunkers, those fabulous characters known to everyone. It seems as though their greatest delight is dip- ping savory doughnuts into steaming coffee. KI wish to note here that more and more people are forming this hab1t.J One is no longer fascinated by watching these dunkers at work, since they themselves may prac- tice the art of doughnut dunk- ing, too. Of course I have only mentioned two types in the group of indulgers found every- where in the world. All in all. one may find a very erijoyable pastime in being one of the many types of indulgers.

The story tells of the pre-Rockne days of football at Notre Dame and shows how this small midwestern university at- tained its high place in Ameri- can football. The story moves forward through the famous teams with which Rockne and Dorais played and tells the in- side story of George Gipp and the four Horsemen and a host of other football immortals. Today in football annals, the name of Frank Leahy stands beside that of Knute Rockne. Leahy is only one of many who became a star at Notre Dame and who went on to coaching fame. But Frank Leahy carries on as does no other Notre Dame man much of the same spirit that Rockne's name a household made word in America. In this book we see Leahy as a player, a father, a coach in his-own story of his person- al life. Georgetown, in 1951, offered Leahy his first chance as a coach, then Michigan State in 1932, and soon Fordham. Through his individual word with linesmen, Leahy developed Fordham's famous 'Seven Blocks of Gran1te.' His reputation was growing and it is not sur- prising that in sum er coaching schools, his line-play classes are crowded--even with other coaches. Finally came the call to Boston College as head coach. There Leahy did a miraculous job and otner coaches say that, almost over nignt, he turned out teams that were a nation wide sensation. His recogni- tion as one of the leading coaches in twe country was the natural consequence. Here the story wends its way back to Notre Dame. Frank Leahy took over the job of head coach and produced the unde- feated Notre Dame of 1941, de- veloped the fabulous 'T' .orma- tion, and carried his teams through the great seasons of 1942 and 1943. Frank Leahy has truly reached the height as a foot- ball coach. He is leaving on the game an imprint that stems from Notre Dame traditions and the influence of the great Rockne, but which carries the unmistakeable touch of Frank Leahy's own individual genius. James Garvey Class of '46 aiswassssssswisuassanaiasanuini DAYS AND NIGHTS Konstantine Simonov: Simon and Schustu, New York: 1945 'Days and Nights' is a stirring story of Russian pa- triots and their innate de- sire for happiness. It revolves around a young captain and his battalion. The setting is the massive and terrible struggle for Stalingrad, where Russia turned the Nazi's tide. The characters are simple, believa- ble human beings, whose souls belong to themselves and more often to their country. The story itself is also quite sim- ple. It is the tale of twenty days and nights in which Sabur- of, a young Red army officer, seized and held three apart- ment houses in Stalingrad, un- veils and slays a traitor, learns the skill of house to house fighting with heavy, mod- ern weapons, falls deeply in A , . R d sgzggglgd with 8523 love with nurse, and problems of leading men torough defeat in almost a hopeless 'Days and Nights' has been named by Russian critics the best novel of the Red army and its long victorious war against the Germans. It has sold more than 400,000 copies in Russia, alone. I think this book is an excellent and inspiring symbol of Russia because it brings to life, conditions in Russia. It reveals in life-like fashion how a Russian so1dier's mind may revolve during such criti- cal and crucial days and nighns Sally Ide Class nf '47 'l-'!--!-J.':!-'li-iC H !!-H-'N-'l1'l!'-2-!S-k-2f-'I-'R-l-:.!-'!-l2-K-'I- ..-'H-K'-I-'.':-Y- STRVAM SINISTFR Kathleen M. Knight, Doubleday, Doran and Company, Inc.: 1945 When Lt. Gavin Scott AUS, decided to spend his sick leave at the Hacienda de Monte Real, he didn't expect a gay time, but he certainly didn't expect to land in a morass of mystery, tragedy, and great danger. He went because he felt an obliga- tion to his late friend's, sis- ter, Fernande De Curiel. His arrival coincided with a few ghostly incidents. The apparition of these spectral events gave Gavin a firm belief that such terrorizing was cal- culated by some very authentic person who wanted to maneuver the De Curiels out of the Ha- cienda and sizable family for- tune. 'By special efforts he proved that the supernatural was more malicious than mystic. This intriguing novel will appeal to all mystery lovers.
