It is not a yearbook though it embraces some year- book features in its magazine styleg its purpose, since there is no annual being published this year, is that of a link of continui- ty between the great Raven an- nuals of the past and those that are to be. Its editors hope that The Raven Magazine will not die after this first volume but will go forward with the other publications of St. Benedict's, filling its place, the magazine field. That there is a magazine field in college life is becoming more and more recog- nized by leading universities and colleges throughout the country, as a necessary unit in the writing and journalistic departments of progressive institutions.

HE discussion began in class. The professor, who, because of skill in thought provocation, justly deserved his title, often wondered whether a college of arts and sciences was of any particular benefit to its students, since, almost to a man, they would of necessity have to enter a trade or professional school upon graduation. Would it not be much more economical of money and the years of life to attend only a tech- nical school of concentrated training in a particular calling? Some classroom discussions are forgotten with the closing bell. This one was not. It provoked talk among more than a few, and, greater than this, it agitated collegiate thought concerning just how much benefit there existed in a liberal education. When the question was looked at coldly, was there any reason for such an education? Wasn't a technical school, after all, better from the very start? If college were only a place for one to spend four years while others progressed in their professions or trades, then a college education would be a detriment to the student. He would act far more wisely upon gradua- tion from high school, to enter at once upon his chosen profession, en- gineering, law, medicine, writing, and the rest, by entering a school where such subjects were concentrated upon. But it seems, after four years of college, that education is really more than a book-apprenticeship to some trade. Professional training is neces- sary, there is no escape from that admission, but if preceded by that which is really education, the profession itself becomes something alive, more than a mere means of livelihood, and the why of it all becomes under- stadnable. There will exist the same difference in the man before and after the why is discovered, as there exists between the reasoning of the technician building a machine by experiment, and the man putting it together on the assembly line. The first knows why a shaft is placed here, a cam there, the second knows only that it is to be so placed. The same rule applies to life. A highly skilled graduate in any pro- fession, unless he has a broad foundational education, will never realize the why of his work, will never live his work, will never derive from it- which is his life-the last measure of satisfaction, but will always be re- mote from it, knowing only certain physical laws, never realizing a com- plete education. Specialization emphatically is not to be frowned upon. It is the 1ife's blood of modern progress and makes for a high degree of perfection in all forms of endeavor. It sometimes, though, becomes identihed with the utilitarian side of a profession and then becomes the god of the specialist. Endeavor concentrated upon one phase of an object is certainly permiss- ible, but it can and should be built upon broad foundations, whose per- spective can still be seen even when seated upon the house-tops of special- ized work. 4 The .story of 1'rad1'Zio11 ages old-A and of Nt. Be11ed1'ct's looking to tl proud past and a 52171 more g107'1'0HS fzlfure. by Joseph S. Thompson, '34 Personnel HE personnel of St. Benedict's is part of a teaching institution centuries old, yet ageless as knowledge itself. Truth is ever changeless-knowl- edge now the same as that taught by Socrates on the Acropolis in the days of Grecian glory. New facts are daily added, it is true, to the mass accumulated through the cycles of time, but that which was really true a long two thousand years ago is still the good and the beautiful of today. Such a garnering of science, such a preservation of truth, could not have been accomplished by a transitory group of men whose duty and accomplish- ment ended with the death of its members, it could be brought about only by an undying corporate body, as is found in a religious group, whose life began in the dim past and whose journey's end is as unannounceable as the day of the heavenly trumpets. Thus it is that a religious order is peculiarly adapted to fine teaching. The members have bartered their lives for the eternal years of the future and they are content to spend even a lifetime in fashioning superbly some bit of the mosaic of great accomplishment which, perhaps generations later, will be the completed masterpiece of the order. So it is with the sons of St. Benedict. Fifteen centuries ago they brought truth to the men of Gaul, to the fields of Alsace, to the tribal towns in the valley of the Rhine. Through the years they have marched abreast of pro- Rt. Rev. Martin Veth, O.S.B., LL.D. Pn's1'r1r'nI JU' ihe College A counterpart to the progress and growth of the entire order is found within the ranks of the monks at St. Benedict's College. Age is there-age with its wis- dom and its sage counsels and its lending of an at- mosphere of quiet safety, but that St. Benedict's may not lose the age-old spirit of progress held by the order, there always lives its youthful leaders, men with a vision before them of far peaks glistening with the snows of untouched learning, and of fertile valleys of new truth yet to he made fruitful for the benefit of America's youth. This union of quiet wisdom and boundless vision has brought to St. Benedict's the same successful teach- ing methods that have ever characterized the Monks of the West, methods that have enabled them to con- duct the greatest school of the Middle Ages, methods that have prepared Benedictines to hold professorial gress, securing everything new, preserving all the good of the past. chairs in the best of the 20th century's universities and colleges. In seeking to perfect these methods, and in search of still higher learning, the teaching personnel of St. Benedict's traverses a world-wide pathway, studying in schools far-flung over the earth. All have attended the universities of the United States. Notre Dame, johns Hopkins, Harvard, Michigan, Catholic Universi- ty, Iowa, Columbia, Wisconsin, and others throughout this country have upon their student rosters the names of St. Benedict's teachers. Europe, too, has seen them in its universities, its laboratories, its conservatories. The city of the Caesars has known a half score of them, Paris, Berlin, Munich, and misty Louvain in its quiet Flemish beauty, have all heard their feet upon cobbled streets. Thus St. Benedict's blends atmospheres old and new for her students. 5 Have Richgi You Met- Kerr, '37 ATHER Hubert Blocker, professor of biology, re- ceived his advanced training in several universi- ties. He studied at the universities of Notre Dame, Iowa, and Michigan, where he received his doctor's degree in 1932. He has invented improve- ments for laboratory apparatus and was offered a re- search fellowship by Michigan University. Father Louis Baska is chairman of the economics department. His graduate studies brought him into contact With the largest universities in America, as Chicago, Wis- consin, Catholic University, and Harvard. He finished the work for his doctor's degree at Catholic University. Father Gervase Burke, professor of English, re- ceived his education in America, Italy, and Canada. He is now acting head of the English department. Father Colman Farrell, head librarian, has wide knowl- edge and much experience in library science. He at- tended such schools as Notre Dame and the University of Michigan, where he received his master's title. For several summers he served on the faculty of the Cath- olic University and spent a year at the Library of Con- gress, where he classihed religious books. Father Lucien Senecal, professor of French, has been familiar with the language from childhood. He studied French for several years at St. Benedict's, and devoted two years to graduate work at the University of Iowa. Father Sebastian Weissenberger, professor of German and Spanish, a product of both American and German educational systems, is very familiar with the German language. He received his master's de- gree at the Catholic University of America. Father Pius Pretz, professor of mathematics, be- sides having received his master's degree from St. john's University, devoted two years to advanced study of mathematics at the University of Chicago. Father Malachy Sullivan, professor of philosophy, studied at Notre Dame and the University of Illinois. He devoted three more years to advanced study at the University of Louvain, Belgium, where he obtained his doctor's title. Mr. john E. Donovan, chairman of the chemistry department, attended school at the universities of New Hampshire and New York. He taught for several years at New York University and has had much prac- tical experience in industry with the American Potash Company. 6 Left to right- Fathers Hubert Blocker, Felix Nolte, Cuthbert McDonald Fathers Colman Farrell, Adrian Stallbaumer, Malachy Sullivan Fathers Pius Pretz, Sebastian Weissenberger, Charles Aziere Dr. john E.

The next highest executives are Father Sylvester Schmitz, O.S.B., dean of college, and Father Richard Burns, O.S.B., dean of residence. The dean of college, in conference with the faculty, determines scholastic policies, and the latter, together with tl1e board of discipline, determines student placement and conduct upon the campus. The students through the Student Council have some part in college administration. With the active and capable leadership of President Jerry P. O'Don- nell, the present Student Council has completed one of its most successful years. The administrative duties of the Council rest in the hands of the Diet, which is composed of the elected representatives of the students as a Whole, the chairman of the hall committees, and the dean of residence, and is a truly representative body having charge of all student activities. The greatest single achievement of the present Stu- dent Council has been the fostering of regular student- faculty assemblies. Besides being a source of enter- tainment and education, this activity sponsors a better relationship between faculty and students. The members of the Diet compose the standing committee of the Student Council and as such appoint all minor committees and have charge of all Student Council activities. The present Diet members are jerry O'Donnell, William Dolan, james Ilelmert, john Thimes, and Father Richard Burns. The main activities sponsored by the Diet and Stu- dent Council are The Ranzblcr, The Rczecn Jwtzgacine, the annual Amateur Night, Athletic Day, and various other activities of the same nature. The principal standing committees of the Student Council are the Hall Committee and the Social Committee. 7 Men of '34 by Willard K. Tarrant, '34 Xdlorc Boucher Everett li, Burns Vlfilliam T.

In that name lies the cause of , the extraordinary success of the ambitious and extensive athletic l program which is so effectively being carried out at St. Benedict's. This program, broad enough to reach every student in the college and high school, features both intercollegiate games, with special stress laid upon football, and intramural athletics, with emphasis on basketball. Under the Mullins' regime, which began in the fall of IQ32 with Al Mor- ley as line coach and continued this year with Jim Harris, former Notre Dame star lineman as assistant, St. Benedict's also entered better-than- average basketball, boxing, and baseball teams in these fields of inter- collegiate sport. The intramural sports, which have been supervised during the last year and a half by the Rev. Michael Carroll, moderator of athletics, and in which five different halls of the school compete, are baseball, kitten ball, tennis, handball, golf, and volley ball. Indeed athletics, both intercollegiate and intramural, at St. Benedict's have demonstrated a distinct and rapid upward trend during the last two years. Manifestly, the balm which anointed the waning interest in sports not only within the college but also the interest of the sport-loving world concerning St. Benedict's, and the lubricant which greased the great Raven grid machine to a point approaching perfection in its grand march to fourteen smashing victories in seventeen starts during the last two fall Head Coach of Athletics Tl1e dominating, wholesome character and the radi- ant personality of this former Notre Dame star have created an entirely new atmosphere not only on the field of battle, but throughout the entire school and over the spacious campus. Mullins, who benefited by four years of experience under the greatest of all coaches, Knute Rockne, has employed all of his un- usual abilities and qualifications in building Raven teams which are bringing St. Benedict's national recog- nition. The football schedule for next fall includes games with such teams as the University of Kansas Jayhawks, the West Texas State Buffaloes, the Nebras- ka State Teachers college of Hastings, Ottawa Univer- sity, and five others. 10 campaigns, were supplied by Moon Mullins. Enthusiastic alumni everywhere likewise are pro- claiming the merits of the Raven basketball teams which, during the last two years, have completed repre- sentative schedules with teams of outstanding caliber, winning better than three-fifths of their games. Always it has been the policy of the athletic depart- ment to outfit its teams with the best equipment ob- tainable. The lowliest substitute on the fifth or sixth team is just as well protected and smoothly fitted as the varsity man. This fact, together with the fact that the name Moon Mullins is connected with athletics at the college, has placed athletics in the heart of the student and the life of the school.

Gonner, '35 HREE weeks of stiff practice had been spent in rounding into form the 1933 Raven football team which Coaches Mullins and Harris placed on the field to meet the Haskell Indians in the first game of the season. Early in the contest, weaknesses in the Raven lineup could be detected and the outcome seemed disastrous unless remedies were quickly applied. No scores were made in the first quarter, but early in the second period Haskell tore through an opening in the Benedictine line for its first touchdown. The Ravens strove deperately to gain ground in the first half but were unable to penetrate the strong defense of the Red- men. In the second half the Indian attack was even more vicious. They crossed the Raven goal three times and added an extra point to their collection to the discouragement of the large crowd of Black and White fans who traveled to Lawrence to see the open- ing game. Only once did the Ravens threaten to go places when in the third quarter, led by Co-captain Beattie, they gained three successive first downs to place the ball on the 35-yard line before losing it on downs. Although the Benedictines lost by a score of 25 to o, many things were learned in this defeat which were evidenced by their following contests. The Indian massacre was a hard blow to the Ravens but Mullins and Harris worked hard in strengthening the weak points exhibited in that tilt. The following week when the Ravens met Bethany in the first home game of the season, it was a changed team that trampled the Swedes in a 37 to o victory. The game was featured by one long run after another, as O'Neal, Helmert, Cahill, Neff, and Weiffenbach scored the touchdowns. Several new men stepped into the limelight in this game, most notable were Deutsch, end, Moulder, Neff, and Weiffenbach, backfield men. A large crowd witnessed the game and not the least among these was Coach Moon Mullins' newly organized Knot Hole Gang, composed of local juveniles. With a new spirit the Ravens drilled for two weeks in preparation for the tilt with the Ottawa Braves, I932 Kansas Conference champions. At first it seemed as though the outcome would be close but this was only an illusion, the Ravens made two touchdowns in the first half and another in the second half plus an extra point, to defeat the Braves, IQ to o. The Benedictines had gained 362 yards from scrimmage while their victims were held to 85 yards. Old rivals in the person of the Warrensburg State Teachers were next on the slate and with two consecutive whitewash victories to their credit, the Ravens were thirsty for Tutor blood. After the Mules had chalked up the first score in the second quarter, the Ravens checked their advance and retaliated with one touchdown in the second quarter and two more in the second half, each with an extra point to down the Mules, I9 to 6. Co-captain O'Neal's 44-yard run from the kickofi' in the second half was Football Line Coach 11 Remember thc old rhyme, Birds of a feather flock to- gethern?

Immediately after the dinner the elections of the captains of the football and basket- ball teams for the coming year were held, and Chet Nadolski and jim Helmert were unanimously chosen by their mates. Johnnie Beattie, graduating football captain, then addressed a stirring and memorable speech to his teammates and coaches. 12 BOARD OF ATHLETICS This is the group of men who determine the athletic policies of St. Benedict's and upon w h o m depends the great future of Raven teams.

The evening came to a brilliant climax at a smoker in the gym at which the governor, the coaches, and the faculty representative, Father Richard Burns, spoke to the largest audience ever to attend this annual afiair. The whole program was permeated with a spirit which made it one of the most exciting and memorable events of the year. Continued from page II. the outstanding feature of the game. Before a large Homecoming crowd at Chillicothe, the Ravens found no diiiiculty in humbling the Chilli- cothe Ducks in the form of a 36 to o defeat. The Bene- dictine defense functioned so perfectly that not one first down was registered by its opponents. Because of an auto accident shortly before this game, the Ravens lost the services of two valuable regulars, Chapman and Cahill, who were unable to return for the remainder of the season. In the most talked-of game of the season and pos- sibly the toughest' game of the schedule, the Ravens met the West Texas Buffaloes at Amarillo, Texas, on November 3. Never lzefore had a St. Benedict's team traveled so far to engage in an athletic encounter, and the Ravens were determined to make the most of it. During the trip down, O'Neal, co-captain and main- stay of the Blackbirds, became ill with influenza. His condition grew no better after arrival in Amarillo and it was suggested that several of the fast backs left in Atchison be flown to Texas by plane in time for the game. This was not deemed necessary by the coaches and athletic advisers, and when the starting whistle blew, O,Neal was on the field, caught the kick- off, and ran it back 53 yards, only to have the kick called back because of an offside player. The first touchdown came after lXIermis recovered a Buff fumble: hve plays later the ball was taken by Nefi' on a lateral pass and carried across the goal line. The second Raven touchdown was even more spec- tacular. After stopping two savage drives of the Buffaloes late in the game, the Black and VVl1ite swung down the field in long drives, until within striking dis- tance of the marker, where McCann, waiting over the goal line, received a sensational pass from Tex Dux:- away, who hails from Amarillo. The return from the south of the victorious Ravens was eagerly awaited by their classmates a11d the resi- dents of Atchison. Late in the afternoon of November 4, crowds of students lzegan to gather in the streets of Atchison in preparation for the welcoming rally. Townspeople and high school students also congregated, listening to the college songs and yells, and to the music of the college band. When the team hnally arrived it had difficulty making progress through the milling, cheering throngs which accompanied it through tl1e city streets alld up to St. Bencdict's campus. The annual battle with the Raven's traditional foes was 11ot overshadowed by the Texas game and, as in previous years, the entire student body traveled to Kansas City and Bourke field to cheer tl1e team to victory. The enormous crowd that witnessed the game were stunned at the great showing of the Bene- dictines who found little difficulty in folding up the Hawkswtheir once greatest rivals-in a 32 to I3 vic- tory. Gnce more it was Co-captains Beattie and O'- Neal who stood i11 the spotlight, Beattie dashing 69 yards to score in the first quarter, and O'Neal scoring after a run of the entire length of the held in the third quarter.

The overflow crowd of 7ooo, with its echeers, and the band music blaring from loud speakers strung along the great bleachers front, plus the thousand thrills of a night game, went to make up another memorable Raven- Hawk contest. Pat Mason's boys were, as ever, a crafty fce. No let-up in suspense was possible for the spectators, for as soon as the game seemed in the bag, the Hawks would make a gain and the crowd would be on its feet again. The next week Maryville State Teachers provided 14 the opposition. The Maryville team was greater in size only and the more skilled Ravens kept them in hot water throughout the game. Scoring did not begin un- til the second quarter, but from that time it was a one- sided affair, and the Ravens emerged victorious, ad- ministering their fourth whitewash defeat, 33 to o. The Bearcats threatened only once, that in the third quarter. The tide suddenly changed, however, when Weiffenbach intercepted one of their passes and cruised down the field for 35 yards and the final Raven touch- down.

With seven consecutive victories behind them, the Ravens traveled to Tarkio, Missouri, on November 22 for the final game of the seasong in this tilt three veter- ans made their last appearance in a Raven grid line- up, namely Maes, Wanstrath, and Beattie. Almost every member of the Black and White squad saw action in this game and with the aid of Helmert, Beattie, O'Neal, and Nolan the eighth consecutive victory, 27 to 7, was made possible. In the entire season the Ravens piled up a total of 217 points while allowing the opposition only 78 points, four games of which were whitewash victories. Perhaps a precedent was set by the Raven team March 28, 1934, when it played, upon invitation, a special spring football game at Iles Moines, Iowa, against Drake University of the Missouri Valley Con- ference. 'l'he game was a hard fought affair from the beginning, and as the Raven line was impregnable to the Drake plunges, St. Benedict's led, 7-2, until late in the final quarter when an Iowan slipped around end for a touchdown to win 8-7. The game was noted by sports writers throughout the Middle West, and several declared the Mullinsmen to be the nearest thing to a Rockne-coached team since Knute's own day. 15 Top lrftf-fHoey, The Memphis Kid, all dressed up for you-all.

I7 A story of the basketball season as a player sees it. Court Reporter OT to be outdone by the highly successful efforts of the football team, the basketball tossers from the beginning showed acommendable spirit and willingness to work. About fifty young men reported to Coach Mullins for the first practice but the squad was eventually narrowed to fourteen. On December 19, the University of Colorado cagers, making a tour of Kansas and Missouri, humbled the Ravens by a score of 28-12. The Golden Bears, coached by Henry lba, nationally known basketball mentor, showed clearly that they had had more prac- tice than the Ravens. journeying to Baldin, Kansas, for the first trip of the season, the Ravens bowed to the Baker University Wildcats, 22-19, january 12.

After losing again to Baker, january 2o, the team was led to victory by VVillie O'Neal in the next encounter, which was played January 29 at Conception college. ln a thrilling game which possessed all the elements of a contest between traditional rivals, the Ravens took a 26-16 defeat at the hands of Rockhurst college, February 1, in Kansas City.

HIGH SEES OF THE YEAR I0 Matches! HE field of minor sports at St. Benedict's during the past year was one of the most extensive that the school has en- gaged in. The repertoire included boxing, league basketball, swimming, tennis, golf, and handball. Boxing, though classed among the minor sports, for the past four years has supplied a varisity team ranking in caliber with the foot- ball and basketball teams, and whose members are rewarded with the varsity HB . During the past season the leather pushers met the ring teams of the Kansas Aggies, Haskell Indians, and Falls City, Nebraska, twice each, one card with Nebraska University, and three entries in the Kansas Relays, in which all three won their bouts. ,Public intramural bouts were also staged. The colorful Chief Garcia was the most outstanding member of the team, winning every fight in which he participated, Much credit must be given to George Walsh, coach and business manager, and to Smiling joe Casey, student-coach of the team, and his assistant Charlie Briggs, for the way in which they brought their charges to the fore. The basketball leagues had the support of over three-fourths of the student body as play- ers. League play began before Christmas and continued through the early spring months un- til the champions were decided. In the A league the team captained by Soup Maes was the victor. Chick Meehan's team captured the B league trophy and in the C division a team composed of high school students and captained by johnny Slayman emerged vic- torious. Gerry O,Shea captained the team that wore the laurels of the D division. The winners in each division showed that they were of championship caliber both in play- ing skill and sportsmanship. The twelve weeks of play was a gruelling test of -stamina while the excitement and strain of playoff s was a test of skill and tournament nerves. 20 There are matches and matches. Here are described boxing, swimming, tennis, golf, handball, and intra- mural basketball matches. by Thomas Morrissey, '37 The swimming team under the able tutelage of Wally Hausknecht progressed rapidly, and meets with various teams from this section of the country were scheduled when financial difiiculties entered the situa- tion and the team was disbanded. It was destined to go places and do things with such members as Gerry O'Shea, president of St. Benedict's Red Cross Life Sav- ing Corps, Quinlan, Malone, Busch, Maes, and Rea, of the same corps, and Meany and Faltysek of the Chicago Catholic League championship team. With the advent of warm weather there was not a favorable day during which the golf course was not crowded to capacity. The first golf tournament held here in recent years proved very successful. Play in this tournament began early in May and before most of us realized it, the finals were being played off. Tennis and handball again proved themselves popu- lar with the student body when, as soon as weather per- mitted, the courts were again crowded with lovers of the game. The tournaments were packed with thrill upon thrill, first a sophomore or a senior would be picked to win and then a dark horse in the form of a freshman would emerge to the fore and it was not until the final drive was made that anyone was assured of victory. In one of the highlights of the intramural sports schedule, the members of the high school defeated the freshman class in a football game that proved more interesting and exciting than some collegiate games. For several weeks before the contest the teams were coached by members of :the varsity. Gene Neff was the head mentor of the freshmen and Mick Cas- serly coached the high school. The game was given much publicity and articles appeared in The Rambler and the Atchison Daily Globe from time to time giving accounts of how the teams were rounding into shape. The play swung back and forth without a score being made until the fourth quarter when the high school, by a series of drives through the line, succeeded in mak- ing the touchdown. The try for the point was blocked. The frosh came back strong but time did not permit them to finish their drive which ended but a few short yards away from that long looked towards goal. 21 w 4 1 Upper picturehleft to right-Busch, Maes, Keim, Tarrant, Farrell.

Joseph's hall is the rooming building for upper- classmen. It was built in 1924 to meet the needs of the larger number of upperclassmen enrolling in the college. It is a fire-proof, brick-faced, structure of three stories and the newest college building on the campus. In this hall, as in the others, the students follow widely diversified activities, there are athletes of every type, table waiters, officers of the student council, some of the best students in the school. Such upperclass- men as jerry O'Donnell and jim Helmert, president and secretary respectively of the Student CouncilgAll- 14 Life in the halls told by one who has spent Jive years of high school and college at the Black and lfVhite. by Patrick Fitzgerald, '35 American Bud O'Nealg Willard Tarrant, Shakespearean actor, Chet Nadolski, captain of the I934 Raven foot- ball teamg Johnnie Beattie, last year's co-captain of the football team, and many other athletes and scholars live in this building. St. joseph's hall has always been noted for the spirit of camraderie which exists among its occupants. They co-operate in every activity of the school. No one of them tries to outdo or outshine his hallmate. It is the type of group which St. Benedict's likes to have among its students. Father Florian Demmer, O. S.B., is prefect and pal of all the boys in this hall. St. Benedict's hall is composed of students living off the campus. Most of the students have their homes in Atchison, and are graduates of either St. Benedict's high school or Atchison public high. This group does not have a prefect as do the other halls, but it is under the direct supervision of the dean of residence, the Rev. Richard Burns, O.S.B. College authorities usually re- fer to these young men as day scholars, but the students boarding at the college have always labeled the day student with the epithet, day-dog . The hall is well rep- resented in social activities, athletics, and scholarship. Where once was heard the thread of holy monks in the silent shadows of Freshman hall, disturbed only by rhythmic chant and prayer, now lives the lively, dancing freshman. Five years ago this hall was a monastery, since then the Benedictine Fathers have taken as their place of dwelling the new monastery overlooking the Missouri river, and their former home has been remodelled and equipped with the most modern conveniences for the incoming groups of freshmen. How great a change five years have made! Each year the quiet voices of the freshmen can be noticed gradually developing into a sonorous chorus of football signals, nicknames, torch songs, jokes old and new, best girls, nights out, and many other amenities charac- teristic of freshmen. It may be remarked, too, that the freshman group is of heterogeneous ancestry. Irish, Germans, Poles, Swedes, Frenclunen, Italians, and several other nationalities are represented. In a very short time after their arrival at the college, how- ever, they are welded into the one family of St. Bene- dict's students. Their prefects are Fathers Isidor Smith, O.S.B,, Jerome Merwick, 0.S.B., and Philip O'Connor, O.S.B. This year Freshman hall was visited by what the boys called a ghost of the one of the monks long since dead. For almost a week it would happen that the ghost would come into the hallways as nightfprowling freshmen would pass along. The ghost appeared several times and freshmen lost all nerve, all bravado, and, alas, even their appetite. But jokes can't go on Freshman Hall 'l'pper piffzzre, top row ---f O'Malley, Ferry, Shay, Hoey, Rakowski, McGrath. Fourth row--Dockery, Hood, Conlon, Reidy, Laughlin, 0'Sullivan, Rice. Third rowAN.

It was too late for the fresh- men to stop the story, they had sent news of it to every town, village, and hamlet where they had relatives. Ah! the poor freshman. Up on the hill closest to the Benedictine Fathers we find the young men of St. Gregory's and St. Bede's halls. Those desirous of entering the Benedictine order occupy the former, and the boys who wish to become secular priests in dioceses throughout the country are in St. Bede's. With the sounding of the 5:45 A.M. bell, the hill- toppers begin the day. After fifteen minutes of con- tinual splashing of water, we see them in chapel giving the first hour of their day to God. They are a happy crowd, always realizing their call in life. Every year on March 21, the feast of St. Benedict, six or seven of the young men of St. Gregory's hall march up to the altar to receive the black habit of St. Benedict. On that day they make their first step toward entering the Benedictine order. A year later they enter the monas- tery to find the realization of their hopes and ambitions. The men of St. Bede's hall have a different mission. It is their hope to one day preach the gospel of Christ to the world. When they finish their college studies they enter whatever seminary to which their bishop sends them. Aside from the difference of mission and life work the young men of these two halls form a group having the same goal. Everything is not of a serious nature for these boys. Some of the finest athletes in the school come from the hillg they have their games, their athletic contests, their pillow fights, and dump- 24 ing of beds in the dormitories even though their pre- fect's eye is ever vigilant. The educational range of the boys on the hill is from the third year of high school to the fourth year of theol- ogy among the students for the secular priesthood, and from the third year of high to the second collegiate year for the Benedictine postulants. Fathers Cuthbert McDonald, O.S.B., and Aloysius Krapp, O.S.B., are prefects of St. Gregory's hall, and Fathers Gervase Burke, O.S.B., and Michael Carroll, O.S.B., have St. Bede's in their care. The halls are to life at St. Benedict's what the dif- ferent fraternities are to life at a university. There exists a certain rivalry between them, though it is a good-natured rivalry, in their sports, in their studies, in all their activities. This rivalry makes for progress in the school in so far as it furnishes competition which in- sures a continual devising of new means of achieving new successes. This rivalry of course does not go so far as to cause dissension within any of the varsity teams or any all-college group working for the glory of the school. The halls also act as do fraternities in that they foster a fraternal spirit among the occupants of each hall. This is the natural result of close companion- ship under the common roof of a common home. Hall life is the true life of St. Benedict's. It is in the halls that the boarding school really is found and lived. Life there is governed by rules which must be obeyed, and which sometimes appear tothe occupants of the halls to be great disadvantages, but one of the purposes of a school, teaching one to live with one's fellows, is accomplished chiefly through such life in com- mon as is found in the boarding halls of St. Benedict's. i The High School Seniors HE 1934 graduating class of St. Benedict's high school consists of twenty-four members. Nine of these receive classical diplomas, and fifteen the diploma of the English-scientific curriculum. As the St. Bcnedict's high school consists of only the two senior years of high school, many of the boys completed their junior work at Maur Hill, the Benedictine pre- paratory school in Atchison. Both St. Benedict's high school and Maur Hill are accredited by the North Central Association of Col- leges and Secondary Schools, Kansas University, the United States Military Academy at VVest Point, and other standard accrediting agencies. by Robert F. LeCompte, '35 The graduating class of ,34 marks an end to the existence of St. Benedict's high school. The long- planned merger of the high school department of the college and Maur Hill has been completed. Next fall will find the en- tire four year Catholic high school lodged on the Maur Hill campus. The merger will make possible the ex- clusive use by the students of the administration build- ing, the Carnegie library, the gymnasium, and the re- fectory. From twelve to fifteen instructors, Benedic- tine Fathers of St. Benedict's Abbey, will devote their time to the student body. A comprehensive athletic program, hitherto im- Rev. Florian llemmcr, 0.8.8. 1'ri111vipal of llze High Sflnml possible, will be inaugurated with varisty teams in basketball and football. The gymnasium boasts a fine running track and swimming pool and will allow for a diversification of activities. The new unification is expected to cause a favorable reaction on the part of the students. Unharnpered by the college life which must of necessity take precedence at St. Benedict's the junior and senior students will find activities more closely identified with their own interests and abilities. Rev. Mark Merwick, present principal of Maur Hill, will continue to head the faculty. It is his purpose to have the school remain small but with a select group of students. Maur Hill has a capacity of one hundred fifty, of which approximately fifty will be day scholars. And so to St. Benedict's high school we say farewell. Out of the new group we shall expect leaders to come for our college activities. St. Benedict's is changing under our eyes. This is but one more step towards its goal - national fame and honor.

Very active among student organizations is the staff of the official college newspaper, The Rambler. This year's Rambler approaches nearer to true journalistic style and format than any volume of the paper pub- lished since its first appearance in 1921. It appears every two weeks, describing the activities of the faculty and students. The success of the paper was due largely to the 26 D0 you want to know what makes the activities train roll?

As Gerald O'Shea was business manager last year, his experience made him very successful in that position during the I9 3 3- 34 term. The Rev. Aloysius Krapp, O.S.B., was faculty adviser. Frederick Gambold edited the sports page. He was assisted by John O'Mara, and together they succeeded in recording the greatest athletic contests ever engaged in by St. Benedict's. The clever wit of Tarrant and O'Donnell in their column, Are You List'nin',i' again proved to be the most popular feature of the paper. One of the most interesting sections of the paper was the new type of feature story. Previous to this year the complete record of the events, activities, and incidents of each school term was published in a yearbook, the Raven. Because of finan- cial difficulties, the Raven could not be produced this year and in its place the editors have published the Karon Mazgt1z1'nc, a concise yet complete history of the school year. ln tl1e publication of this magazine much credit is due the editors, Joseph Thompson and Quintin Malone. It was not decided until late in the year that tl1is book would appear and it was no easy task that these two men undertook in laying out and editing thirty-two pages of write-up and engravings in ten weeks time. Gerald O'Shea was business manager, Joseph Gallagher assisted him in this work, and john Busch was circulation manager. The dramatic club under the able direction of Father Isidor Smith, O.S.B., successfully staged Shakespeare's Othello and Bulwer-Lytton's Riclzelieu. Willard Tarrant, as Iago, led the dramatic club to suc- cess in the presentation of Othello. Charles Bassette, playing the part of the Moor, made a successful debut as an actor in the same presentation. Some of the players making their hrst appearance in this production were Harold Mulligan and Gilbert Davenport. Richelieu revealed a large amount of talent among the freshman students, and added to the success of the older players. In tl1is play, acting the leading role of Cardinal Richelieu, Willard Tarrant made l1is last appearance on the college stage. The several spiritual organizations are under the direction of the Students' Spiritual Council, which was organized last year in order to ccntralizc religious acti- vity. Membership in the Council is composed of olli- cials of religious societies on the campus. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is thc most active religious organization on the campus. The local unit two years ago began catechetical work among the color- ed people of Atchison and have founded a colored parish under the direction of Father Placidus Kieffer, O.S.B. Through the efforts of Patrick Fitzgerald, president of the society, and its other otlicers, the or- ganization entertains with plays and music the children of the State Orphans Home in Atchison, and those of the colored orphanages in Leavenworth.

The local unit was represented at conventions throughout the state by delegations chosen from the Sodality's ofhcials. The object of the lloly Name Society at St. Bene! diet's is to instill into the students a respect for the lloly Name of God and to curb all offensive language. The ollieers of the society this year were Stephen Cole, president, Francis Duval, viceepresidentg and Henry Conner, secretary. The debate team was continued this year with Father llenry Courtney, tJ.S.B., as coach. XYillard Tarrant was elected chairman. Because of work which took him from the college faculty, Father Ilenry was replaced by Father Gervase Burke, tJ.S.B., who directed the team during the second semester.

And When It Happened EPTEMBER 12th Atchison witnessed the influx of a type of barbarian known to collegians as freshmen. Intelligence tests were given to all of them on the 15th. The results were quite a blow to the faculty but they were back on their feet by the 18th to begin classes. Everything ran smoothly until the 3othg then The Rambler made its bow for the 1933- 34 term and some of the freshmen stormed the editor's door because they were not mentioned. October 6th, the first social event of the year- the Student Council dance. Remember the little brunette with the blue eyes? Oh yes, and on the 15th of October one columnist in The Rambler called the other a sissy or its equivalent and from then on, on, on, far into the term. Then the morning of the 22nd we heard that the old fire truck turned over at Casey's Corner coming back from Kansas City. Chapman, Cahill, DeCoursey, Warriner, Casey, O'Donnell, and Powers riding. The first four injured seriously. Boxers started training on the 26th. Hey, Joe, look at the straight, pretty nose on that pugilistic aspirantf' We'll fix that! November 3rd. First intersectional football game in the school's history, with the West Texas Teachers. The Raven brought back the Buffalo's hide.

Ssh, some- body saw a ghost in Frosh hall on November 12th, November 13th J. P. Gallagher was duly punished for impersonating a ghost. November 19th the boys be- gan to study hard. November zoth to 25th, quarter exams. November 26th retreat started, sanctity and suspense. November 30th the notes came out. No more suspense, despair. A we ...i.. it 1.1 .. , . .7 'XV f ' :.
