' ' ± iil HHIIl l  M H Down through that dark and veiled valley They marched so bravely, side by side, Aware of pain and death which brooded near. (Yet not all who entered unafraid Will see again the beauty of the world they left. No, some will slowly rise and carry wounds; Still others will forever rest where struck.) (Stand straight, O, scarred and withered tree, You mark the grave of him who died for li- berty.) They asked for naught, but gave their all In distant lands, and troubled, quickened seas. The hope of glory, pride or fame ' s desire Urged them not to do their deeds untold. Such find no favors ' fore their Final Judge. Dear God, we can ' t forget their pain and toil Proffered us with lavish hand in battle ' s ag- ony; Nor that their valor has again restored a long- lost peace, And marked once more the ways of Christian brotherhood. W. R. Mulhearn, ' 46 Dedication A mong the many dead of the war were sons of Campion. And it might be that they would have been those Cath- olic leaders the world had awaited so expectantly. In a brief space their careers were altered. From a life of se- curity and peaceful study, they were thrust almost without warn- ing into the mad global struggle. They were called to serve. And how fully they gave their answer, we know, sorrowingly, but proudly. They had not been trained to the brutal ways of war, but had busied themselves in preparing to meet life ' s innumer- able perplexities in peace. To enlighten bv their knowledge a world struggling in religious darkness; to strengthen by the power of their Catholic truth a world weakened bv selfishness, this had been their purpose. But to live as God wanted them to live and to die as He wanted them to die, this, over and above all else, was the beckoning star that led them. The principles which governed their lives are those by which all must attain sanctity : to do God ' s will in all things. These sons of Campion were striving for this when they were cut short. All they had lived for was shattered. Their hopes fell in ruins about them. But despite this, their earlv training in Catholic homes, and the later instruction at Campion, enabled them to see in all this change the will of God. Confident, they knew that even in death they were following His plans for them. Their willing sacrifice of all they held dear cannot be held cheaply. Can we believe that their preparation was vain and fruitless? Is not the world a better place because of their brief sojourn in it? Although they may not have made great contributions to science or literature, the shining example of their Catholic lives and their faithful adherence to principle was of far greater value. To insure the lasting value of their oblation, we Seniors of 1946 pledge ourselves to carry out their lofty ideals. We promise to strive that we may fill worthily the places they left vacant. To carry our Catholic heritage to a pagan world, and to instill our Catholic hope in a world of despair, this is and will be our en- during memorial of them. To them, proudly, yet with heavy hearts, we dedicate this vol- ume of THE CAMPION KNIGHT. Foreword m hile the primary objective of this CAMPION KNIGHT is to be a source of fond and happy memories for the graduates, this is not our sole purpose. Yi e endeavor also to illustrate in the following pages the means by which the fundamental characteristics of Campion are lived throughout the year. Loyalty to God and to country, these are the traits of the Campionite. These are the characteristics which have guided us through our stay at our beloved school, and which will, we trust, rule our future lives. These same traits have made us men of good morals, have strengthened our courage, have given ub a sincere respect for our fellow-man. They will enable us, we are sure, more suitably to take our positions in life. To those who have given uu unselfishly of their time and en- couragement during our careers as students, we extend our sin- cerest gratitude. What we are now, and what we shall be, is due in no small measure to the principles of manhood which they have impressed on us.

Battaile ' 39: carrier, Pacific: 5-9-45 Administration During the four years in which Father Stemper has been President of Campion, the student body has come to a fuller appreciation of his deep interest, and of his untiring efforts on their behalf. Directing the welfare of four hun- dred boys is not an easy task. To pro- vide for their spiritual needs as well as to steer a course in accord with the best traditions of Jesuit education has been the burden of his office. We believe he has succeeded in admirable fashion in the execution of these details of the office. Nor does his interest in the student cease with graduation. The eager atten- tion which he gives to the alumni clubs attests that. REV. THOMAS J. STEMPER. S.J. President of Campion S 1 c Clement A. Berghoff, Jr. ' 44: surgery, San Diego: 10-3-44 REVEREND M. B. MARTIN, S.J. Principal Father Martin has for the past four years skillfully guided the scholastic aspirations of Campion Nothing that touches the intel- lectual life of the school is too in- significant for his attention. No method by which it might be im- proved is overlooked. To cope so successfully with the many prob- lems confronting a principal, prob- lems which touch the scholastic rating of the school, is a tribute to Father Martin ' s tireless efforts. His emphasis on studies has con- tributed in no small way to Cam- pion ' s enviable reputation. Paul E. Bohonek ' 40: over Austria: 11-7-44 Assistant Principal Superintendent REVEREND B. A. BERNERT, S.J. REVEREND W. S. HOUSER, S.J. In his position as assistant principal, Father Bernert looks after the external conduct of the student body. The multifarious duties which this position entails demand his con- stant attention. Not only does he maintain the discipline of the school, but keeps an accurate record on the whereabouts of each student each hour of the day. Disciplinary action is at times necessary as all admit. Father Ber- nert has done this kindly and efficiently. Upon F ather Houser, as superintendent, falls the responsibility for the material up- keep of the school. He has held this post at Campion for the past nineteen years. All pur- chases of food supplies, materials for ' building and repair go through his office, as well as of the equipment necessary in the maintaining of the grounds. His task was made even more difficult during the war because of shortages. Pvt. Arthur J.

The Senior Class officers comprised the Senior Conclave, and acted as judges in the new Marquette Union. With a record of six wins and one tie, the football team set the tempo of the year. A veteran of three years was captain. The basketball team went through a difficult schedule of seventeen games with two de- feats. It was led by its Kentucky captain. Com- manded by the Cadet Lieutenant-Colonel, the bat- talion maintained its honor rating for the seven- teenth consecutive year. Senior officers formed the staff. Heading a veteran staff, the editor of THE CAMPIONETTE, published according to the journ- alistic pattern set in former years. THE CAMPION KNIGHT, the last tribute to the seniors is the tang- ible proof of the editor ' s efforts to make it a worthy one. Editor Walt Kinnucan, CAMPION KNIGHT Ens. Robert P.

The purpose of the military discipline is not to develop a body of military-minded sol- diers, but to develop self-reliant, obedient men. The cadets learn to take orders will- ingly, and to execute them exactly. Cadet officers, on the other hand, learn how to discipline a group of their own age, and thus gain valuable training in leadership. Precision drill is practiced under the sup- ervision of Captain Elliott. The cadet bat- talion with its honor rank is a tribute to Captain Elliott ' s fine sense of responsi- bility and leadersip.

Connell Riflemen OFFICERS To these officers who trained the three companies must go much of the credit for the skilled perform- ance of the battalion. Chosen for their qualities of leadership and command, the cadet officers of 1945 46 justified their appoint- ments. In addition to the traits mentioned the percentage of those who merited scholastic honors was high. RIFLE TEAM Under the expert coaching of S Sgt. E. J. O ' Reilly the rifle team scored seven wins out of a schedule of nine matches. Mar- mion and Mattoon High were the only teams capable of out-shoot- ing the Knites. Victories were scored over Beloit High, West High of Rockford, Loras, Central Catholic of Green Bay, Co. K of the State Guard. Jost, Giffels, Sachs, Bob Bush, Christie, Rasch- ko, Tillman, McNally and Daleiden formed the firing team. Drill Team Precision drill is the object and purpose of the drill team. It is used to demostrate the more difficult forms of closed and extended order. It is composed entirely of the commissioned and non-commis- sioned cadet officers. It was commanded by Cadet-Major Russ Skall. Formed in 1918 the R.O.T.C. Band has ever been an integrral part of the battalion. It is literally true to say that the band sets the pace for the battalion. The weekly review is done to martial airs. Despite the fact that the prime function of the band is to provide marching music, the members are expected to march with the same exactness as the rest of the battalion. It is under the direction of S. S. DeRanitz. S Sgt. Robert Majewski was drum major. Lt. Alphonse ]. Kech ' 39: over Germany: 8-4-44 Capt. John Thornton commanded Company A. He was assisted by the company adjutant Lt. Thomas J. Murphy, and by 1st Sgt. Joseph Fogarty. Lts. Michael McNally, John Casey, and Richard Mulhearn were in command of the three platoons constituting the company. Twelve staff sergeants and three platoon sergeants completed the roster of officers. The willingness and enthusiasm of the privates in rank made the task of drill easier. Company B was under the command of Capt. Jerome Wagner who was aided by his adjutant Lt. John Howard and 1st Sgt. Gerald Tillman. Lts. Robert Bush, James Vickers, and John Reilly completed the roster of commissioned officers. They were in turn assisted by twelve staff sergeants and three platoon sergeants. With these various commissioned and non-commissioned officers, Co. B maintained its excellent record. BO Company C Made up of freshmen cadets and commanded by senior officers, Co. C, though technically not a part of the R.O.T.C. unit, functions in all respects as the other companies. Capt. Frank Brisley together with his adjutant Lt. Kerwin Lebeis, 1st Sgt. Joseph Belanger and four Lieutenants, Walter Kin- nucan, Joseph Stoeckinger, Raymond O ' Connor, and John Meganck, have done a splendid job in rounding the company into a smoothly functioning unit. Sixteen staff sergeants and four platoon sergeants assist the officers. One of the awe-inspiring sights on the drill field is that of the color guard pass- ing in review. The National colors flanked by those of the Church and Campion symbolize the very spirit of the R.O.T.C. Battalion. In the circle above we see Cap- tain Joseph Elliott, U.S. Army, conferring the silver medal on Captain Frank O ' N. Brisley and the gold medal on Lieut-Col. Harry S. Houlihan, Jr. The medals are awarded each year by the CHICA- GO TRIBUNE to the cadets who are outstanding in military. Cpl. Thomas A.

Coach An author, a scholar and a great coach, such is Coach Bill Hoffman, the man who guides the athletic destiny of Campion. His Campion teams have always been good. Whether it is football or basketball or track, his teams are always feared. And the records justify that fear. Campion has been home to Coach Hoffman for thirty-five years. In this time he has produced teams second to none. Many of his players have gone on to win fame as university athletes. But it is typical of his style of play that few individual stars take the center of the stage. He emphasizes team play always and in every cir- cumstance. No greater compliment can be paid any coach. A coach since 1923 Mr. L. W. Krieg brought great experience to Campion this year. Assistant to Coach Hoff- man, he aided materially in smoothing out rough spots in the football attack. In ad- dition to his athletic duties, Mr. Krieg serves as a member of the history faculty. Bomholt looks over the bench for that extra hood. Team Not since 1941 has such a strong eleven represented tampion on the field. Striking with power on the ground, nd with an effective aerial attack, the Knites romped hrough a seven game schedule without the loss of a ame. Hopes for a victory season were blasted on Home- oming Day when the Knites were tied by St. Mary ' s of lenasha. Working together with smoothness and pre- ision, the line opened many a gap in the opposition. The •acks operated with speed and accurate passing. It ould be hard to name a stand-out. Capt Schlaff and lalfback Bush specialized in long runs. Passing honors nd generalship go to Jake Skall. To each man on the 3am go the thanks of a grateful student body.

The outcome was never in doubt as Campion, displaying mid-season precision and power, com- pletely outplayed the lighter home eleven to the decisive tune of 35-0. Campion turned every ad- vantage into a touchdown threat, scoring in every quarter. Scoring began early on a pass from Skall to Bush, a combination responsible for three tallies. Captain Schlaff plunged over in the second period for touchdown number two. Tom Power added number three on another running play, making the half-time score 20-0. The greater part of the second half was played by Campion substitutes with Skall and Bush remaining long enough to produce two scores. Ed Beyer rounded out the scoring when he blocked a punt in the end zone. CAMPION 32 - PLATTEVILLE Playing their first home game, the Knites over- powered a heavier Platteville team 32-0. Scoring in the first three minutes, Campion looked like the championship team that it was destined to become. Climaxing a 70 yard running attack, Schlaff took a lateral from Skall and went 14 yards to score. Early in the second period Cam- pion unleashed its speed specialist, Bob Bush, who went through tackle and raced 84 yards to pay dirt. Early in the second half Campion ' s second sustained drive netted another tally, this one on an end run by Doyle. Three minutes later Bush went over from the 6 yard line where Bransfield had brought the b ll on two runs. Platteville came to life for its only threat, marching 70 yards to Campion ' s ten where the Knites held. Bush scored in the final period on a wide end run. es -J ront row: Brokamp, Brisley, Cavanagh, Walsh, Fawcett. Bush, Schlaff, Doyle, Skall, Thornton, Cagney. second row: Bartunek, aep, Kearney.

CAMPION 47 - WATERTOWN 6 Racking up two scores in every period except the third, the Knites upset an undefeated Water- town team 47-6 in their first night venture. For a time it appeared that the Knites were in for a battle, then Schlaff went 31 yards through tackle. That was the needed spark. Bush added another score on a 13 yard run. Watertown worked the ball to the 22 early in the second quarter and crossed Campion ' s goal. Bush retaliated on the kick-off, racing 95 yards to score. The Hoffmen added another on a pass from Skall to Schlaff. Late in the third period Campion again scored, Bush going 40 yards. The final period saw the rout continued. Doyle scored over guard, and shortly after Grigsby plunged from the five. The gun ended the game three minutes later. CAMPION 6 - LOGAN A confident Campion squad left for La Crosse on Oct. 19 to tangle with the newly crowned city champs from Logan. A severely shaken club left the field after learning the danger of over-con- fidence. Logan had the game almost to itself for the first three periods, displaying alternate run- ning and passing power. Campion played a slower and almost discouraged game from the first quarter, until in the last two minutes of the game they sum- moned all their spirit and opened up. Skall passed to Bush who ran the ball to the 40. Another pass from Bush to Skall netted 20 yards more. Bush went off tackle to Logan ' s 11. For two downs the La Crosse champs held. Bush again went off tackle, moving the ball up to the five. On Campion ' s last play, Bush went around end to score. Thornton, guard Reilly, tackle Fawcett. guard Howland, tackle Lt. James D. Kuntuzos ' 31; in Germany: 11-3044 CAMPION 15 - LORAS 6 It took only three plays to convince the Loras Gubs that Campion was determined to ruin then- homecoming. On the third play Skall threw a 40 yard pass to Bush who ran 20 yards to score. Two more touchdowns were nullified in the first half by penalities. Campion added two points in the second period when Cagney ' s punt stopped on the Loras 3. The Gubs elected to run, and on the play Kearney dropped Gorman in the end zone. Two minutes later Bush went over from the 6 after Cagney ' s pass to Kearney had brought the ball from midfield. Loras scored in the closing minutes of the first half. The second half saw only one scoring threat, that by Campion. Reilly blocked a punt, and the Knites rolled to the Gub 20 to be stopped by penalities. CAMPION 28 - AQUINAS 13 Playing at home for the first time in six weeks, the Knites overpowered a flashy Aquinas team 28-13. Scoring began late in the first period when Skall ' s two yard plunge climaxed a 70 yard march. In the second stanza, a passing attack paid off, when Skall threw a flat pass to Schlaff for 20 yards. The Knite ' s halftime score stood at 14-0. In the third quarter, Campion displayed convincing power. Marching 85 yards in eleven plays, the Knites scored on Bush ' s 8 yard run. Shortly after, Captain Ray Schlaff broke loose and went 43 yards for a score. Skall kicked his third consecutive placement. Aquinas marched 55 yards in the final period, and scored on a lateral. Later the Blugolds tallied on the same play, after being held on the 2 for three downs. The game ended three minutes later. Bush counters against Aquinas. How ' s the blocking?

MARYS 7 The big boys from Menasha invaded the Knites ' field in hopes of whipping one of the really fine teams in Campion athletic history. They had the advantage in line weight but they had not counted on the determination of the Campion line; the devastating tackling of Red Howland and Frank Brisley, the blocking of George Fawcett and Gordo Reilly, and Sparky Thornton. Mainly by the efforts of these five, the Zephyrs were held to a paltry 38 yards gained on the ground. Their passing made lit- tle, but as events proved, enough. The first period saw the Knites within the Zephyr 20, once to lose the ball on downs, the other to fail on penalities. Early in the second quarter, Capt. Schlaff plunged off guard, and tore loose for 80 yards and a touch- down. The Campion line had done it again. In the third quarter the game was played around the mid-field stripe until McKenize snagged a short pass and went over to score. The kick was good, and the score tied. Despite the valiant efforts of the Knites to snatch a victory and a perfect sea- son, the game and the season ended with a tie. There was little joy on the campus that night. The Knites had been stopped. Yet these same men, Capt. Ray Schlaff, Dave Doyle, Mose Walsh, Bob Bush, Jake Skall, Tom Power, Bob Cagney, Red Howland, Sparky Thornton, Frank Brisley, George Fawcett, Gordo Reilly, Bob Kearney, Ed Beyer, Rudy L ebeis, and Jim Cavanagh played all comers and never tasted the bitter dregs of defeat.

Dudenhoeffer, S.J. (coach), R. Merkle (mgr) The Season Playing through a schedule of five games, the Campion Cee Jays turned in winning tickets on three of the tilts. With Nasser playing a stellar role as ball handler and pass catcher, and Jim Rose filling in when passes counted, the CJs played steady ball. A moderate use was made of reverses, but the CJs confined their efforts in the main to good running, accurate passing, and strong blocking. Biwer handled the team from the quarter-back spot in able fashion. Froehlke and Frandsen at the halves and Nasser at full formed a smoothly functioning unit that spelled disaster for the opponent more than once. Ryan and Carroll at the tackles, Bachle and Fitzgerald at guards, Fatum at center, with Jim Rose and Leonard on the ends made up a strong line of blockers and tacklers. The only loss of the season 15-0 came at the hands of a clever St. Columbkille eleven. Prairie High ' s B team was met twice. A scoreless tie in the first meeting was avenged by the CJs in a second game 26-6. Aquinas B ' ' fell 6-0 before the de- termined CJ attack. It was at Dubuque against the Loras B team that the junior Knites played their best game. Capitalizing on all the breaks they rolled over the Iowans 26-0. Mr. Dudenhoeffer, S.J. was the coach. Nasser gets set for a long one Frandsen (20) in trouble fcj fill? Rose must be the decoy The Season The Midgets proudly boast a spotless record. Jerry Adler ' s drives, the tackling of Bill Ryan and Jim Kelley, the kick- ing of Ed Tremblay, these pushed the mighty mites to five wins. Fr. J. C. Murphy, S.J., was coach.

McClellan ' 34: Bougainville: 11-29-43 THE GAMES In the initial tilt of the season an inex- perienced Campion five downed a Badger team 27-21. In the last period the Red Knites showed their best form, and pulled away from their opponents. Jim Vickers, diminutive guard, led the scoring with 5 points. MeDonell of Chippewa Falls was the next visiting team. The Knites showed great improvement in this game, display- ing unerring accuracy and improved ball handling. Pat Dickinson, the other half of the little guards pair, and Jack Me- ganck, rangy forward, shared scoring hon- ors with 12 points each. The game was never in doubt. Skall exhibited great skill in taking rebounds from the back- board. Score, Campion 49, McDonell 3 d . Iowa was the scene of the Knites third vic- tory. Lansing was no match for the rapid passing and deadly tip-in shots of Skal- who led the scoring column with 15 points. Score. Campion 46, Lansing 30. Against Marquette of Milwaukee the Knites con- tinued to show the dazzling speed and ex pert ball handling which was to char- acterize their play. Skall again set a rapkt pace as he dropped 15 points. The score. 44-22, avenged a year old defeat at the hands of Marquette. Lansing made a second bid for victory over the now fas ' rolling Knites only to be turned away a- gain, 34-15. The Knites ' fifth consecutive victory saw Meganck and Vickers account for 17 points. Against the rangy Miners from Platte- ville the Knites hit their fastest pace of the season. Capt. Joe Stoeckinger led the Knites to a 51-37 win. Meganck once more cap- tured first honors by dropping 17 points through the net. Dickinson was hot on his heels with 15, most of which were scored at long range. The Badgers from Prairie called again in hopes of stopping the ram- paging Knites only to be whipped even more decisively, this time 35-20. Once the game settled down in the first quarter the outcome was never in question. Im- proved play, still more accurate shooting, and a tighter defence kept the Badgers at safe distance. Vickers who had slumped for a time paired up with Meganck to halve the points. With seven straight wins the Knites met a smoothly functioning team in Lake Geneva High. Easily the best coached team to appear here th e Genevans, however, were unable to penetrate the air-tight Knite defence, and had to be content with the smaller part of a 44-22 score. Skall continued his fine exhibition of tip-ins by running up 12 points. He was tied by Dickinson. This game marked the eighth consecutive vistory for the Knites. Smoothness and the fine spirit of team play sent the enthusiasts searching the records for a team with which to compare the 1945-46 Knite edition. It was regarded as one of the finest quints to wear the red and black. The Gubs of Loras High furnished op- position in the ninth game. For the first time the Campionites were called to ex- tend themselves, with the score 12-3 against them at the half. And they did. Vickers garnered 10 points in the second half to push the five on. The game was close and was featured by tight guarding by both teams. Final score, Campion 33, Loras 30. St. Marys of Menasha was the first team to lead the Knites throughout the game. Not quite high enough, Pat Meganck (4) moves in to help : Pat, Jake, Joe, Jack, and Vic gave an exhibition of ball handling. Lacking their usual dazzling play, the Knites found themselves struggling up- hill, a new experience. With 15 seconds of play remaining Meganck dropped in the tying push-shot from center. In the over- time, the Knites forged ahead to win the closest one of the season, 34-30. The Knites were still undefeated. And Aquinas, called for the next contest. The first half was slow, the Knites leading by only three points. In the second half, sparked by Me- ganck ' s shooting, the Knites romped on to an easy win 34-25. Meganck led the s coring with 10 points. The 12th win of the season was over Platteville in an over-time period 34-31. Platteville playing its usual good game was out in front by two points with 10 seconds remaining. Dickinson was the hero of this encounter, dropping a long shot to tie the count and extend the game. Once more the Knites showed their ability to come back. In the period they counted 5 points to take the game. Aquinas was the thirteenth team to go against the Knites. The bad luck associated with that number held firm, and the Knites droppsd their first game of the season 28-33. For the second time during the sea- son the Campionites were trailing at the half by the score of 19-8. Despite their best efforts and determination they were unable to overcome the handicap. Dickinson alone was able to connect consistently with the basket. He garnered 10 points. Aquinas played its usual alert game. Smarting un- der this first setback, the Knites avenged themselves by beating Central Catholic of Green Bay to the decisive tune of 42-27. Playing before an enthusiastic crowd at Appleton. the Knites showed their fanciest wares. Jake Skall turned out his best game of the season, scoring 10 points and taking rebounds from the Green Bayites. Meganck repeated in his role of high scorer, 11 markers being credited to him. Menasha was the scene of the next contest, St. Marys furnishing the opposition. As though to prove that the earlier over-time vic- tory was not a fluke, the Knites forged out a 40-33 win. Meganck continued his scoring habits, this time racking up 19 points. His push shot was never better. Loras still smarting from their defeat earlier in the season played the Knites on the Campion floor in the 16th game. The Knites showed their ability to keep fighting. All efforts were in vain. It was Loras day. McDonell. an earlier victim of the Knites, went down under an avalanche of goals in the Knites ' closing game. Skall and Meganck each had 15 points in a 53-25 win. Sgt. Terence J.

MIDGETS 14 MOSQUITOES 14 Keeping pace with the bigger and older teams on the campus presented no difficulty to the Midgets. Engaged 19 times by the enemy, they turned in a record of 12 wins and 7 losses. Inexperience ac- counted for some of the defeats at the beginning of the season, but as the schedule wore on the mighty Midgets developed in skill. This marked improve- ment showed in the later games. Although the Mosquitoes are the smallest team in the school, they proved that size is no handicap. Fourteen times they won their games; only twice did they taste defeat. Displaying exceptionally fine teamwork, the Skeeters rolled up 345 points as their season ' s total. The opponents were allowed only 258 points. — — Winning the last twelve games of their schedule without a loss, the Campion CJs rolled up impressive victories. A total of 604 points were amassed by the CJs while yielding only 375 to their opponents. Im- pressiveness of style, shiftiness, fast pass- ing marked the Junior play throughout the season. Paced by Jim Rose with 177 points, the highscoring CJs overcame Wau- zeka, Bagley, Gays Mills, Patch Grove, Cassville, Prairie B , St. Patrick ' s of Waukon. McGregor and Boscobel in home and home games. The losses were to Patch Grove, Cassville, and St. Patrick ' s, each of whom took one game from the CJs. . . Donald R.

BASKETBALL LEAGUES Basketball? For two months there was little else in the gym where, in that period of time, 211 games were played in the in- tramurals. During those months games of closeness and interest were fought out on the Knites ' floor. The leagues serve as a training ground for future varsity material. It is in the leagues that some of the boys get their first taste of competition, and where they learn how to conduct them- selves as part of a team. The credit for the smooth running of the games, the recording and the computation of the scores by in- dividuals must be given to Bob Wheeler and John Hyland.

VARSITY TRACK Rhomberg goes up and over . . . and puts the shot Spence in a practice spin With the return of four lettermen hopes for a victory team were born. And with the passing of the season those hopes were not in vain. Bush, Andrich, Gruesen and Grigsby took personal charge of the dashes. In the three meets Bush broke the tape in the 100 three times. Rhomberg showed un- expected form in the high hurdles, placing in all meets, and setting a new record at the Loras Relays. He also put the shot in expert fashion; a toss of 46 taking first in the Platteville meet. Harpring handled the discus with enviable skill. Meganck, when he wasn ' t winning the pole vault, won the 880 in two meets. Majewski was the other pole vaulter. Andrich, Bush, Casey, Doyle, our ABCD speedsters, took the 880 relays each time they entered. Gruesen and Bush did the broad jumping. McNally, Sheahan, and Rhomberg took care of the high jump.

To the golf course went a veteran team, Jim Vickers, Jack Thornton, Jerry Wagner, Dick Mulhearn and Jack Meganck. Their experience both on the school course, and courses around the country will make them dangerous opponents for the teams on the schedule. In the first match of the season, against a team from Prairie, the Knites won out. Steadiness of play and a mastery of the short game characterized the team. Meganck and Mulhearn spe- cialized in long drives. All played the home course in scores consistently around par. Four matches were scheduled for the season. a In addition to the major sports, there are many minor activities carried on daily at Campion. Bowling alleys are constantly echoing to thundering rolls and toppling pins. Clicking of pool and billiard balls give evidence of constant use. Ping-pong tables are in demand. For those who take their sports sitting down, there are always boxing matches to watch. Cantwell wrested the ping-pong championship from McClure. Concannon battled Delaplane for ten games before he finally won the pool crown. To Vickers went the billiard award. Lt. Francis G.

The student Conclave is composed of elected re- presentatives of the senior, junior, and sophomore classes. They are chosen to serve as a student executive board under the direction of the mod- erator, Rev. M. B. Martin, S.J. Through the hands of the Conclave passes much of the business which concerns student activity, such as student dances, entertainment, intramural activities of various kinds. Russell E. Skall was president, Raymond E. Schlaff, vice-president, Kerwin J. Lebeis, secre- tary, and John W. Thornton, treasurer. All these were seniors. The Marquette Hall Student Union was an outgrowth of the Conclave. Instituted as an organ of student management in the residence hall, the Union had as its purpose the student con- trol of discipline in the hall. The feature was the Tuesday night court at which offenders were tried. Pvt. Joseph H. Saris ' 37: in training: 1-1141 J t KVOX— -The Voice of Campion KVOX is the voice of Camr.

Although the monogram is given for proficiency in a sport, still that is not the only note of excellence. Determination, de- votion to duty, and sportsmanship have their places too. The Club is active. Track meets, with their many tasks of timekeeping, starting, judging and the like, are handled capably by the mono- gram members. During basketball season, and at those events which are held in the gymnasium, the members act as doorkeepers and ticket-takers. Sheridan Sheahan Folan McNally Concannon Kinnucan If there is a man behind the man behind a gun, then there must be a man behind him. And that roughly is the position held by the cheerleaders. While they have nothing to do with the training of the teams, nor with the actual playing, still their efforts count for much during the games. The spirited manner in which the 480 students of Campion sup- ported the teams was a tribute to the cheer- leaders. With Marty Concannon guiding, Mike McNally, Walt Kinnucan, Tom Sheahan, and Bill Folan kept the crowds cheering. A section of the stands during one of the football games on the home field.
