B RON DEL. D.D. First Bishop of Helena Pane twelve A dreamer of dreams, but of dreams come true, an inspirer who filled men with the ambition to make of his inspirations realities, a pioneer in the work of education that found its fruition in our Alma Mater, an ideal toward which all of the future may strive, a saint, a scholar, a gentleman in all that these titles imply, such was John Baptist Brondel.

One is his extraordinary love and devotion to Montana revealed through his works and benefactions. The other is his keen desire that the youth of Montana should not lack opportunity through want of education. To achieve the first he gave his life to the Diocese of Helena. To insure the second he gave unstint-ingly of his time and labor to the erection of Mount St. Charles Col-lege. THE FOSTERER RIGHT REVEREND GEORGE J. FINNIC,AN. C.S.C.. D.I)., LU .

The coming years will show that the great Carroll builded to the splendor of the Catholic manhood and the triumph of the Church. Prestige, influence, grandeur will mark the career of this institution.” Rt. Rev. George J. Finnigan, C.S.C., D.D. seventeen S TT - Page eighteen t The cornerstone of Mount St. Charles College was laid on Monday afternoon. September 27. 1909, by William Howard Taft. President of the United States. Bishop Carroll’s address on the occasion was descriptive both of the site of the College and of the purpose of its establishment. This President's response was a compliment to the Hierarchy and an endorsement of the religious educational policy of the Church. To the Bishop, President Taft said: “It gives me great pleasure to participate in the laying of cornerstones of institutions of learning, whether of church or state. We are liberal enough in this country to be willing to help along educational work of all denominations. The college you are building here will be a blessing to Helena and to the whole state of Montana. The only trouble is we have not institutions enough of this kind in the United States. “Though not of your faith, I cannot but appreciate the good work your church is doing in this country. 1 am intimately acquainted with many members of the hierarchy and I must say that our relations have always been most pleasant. I feel at home among them. I assure you, Bishop. I regard it as an honor and a pleasure both to have your acquaintance and to have been asked to take part in the laying of the cornerstone of your college. I wish you Godspeed in the completion of the institution.” Pa ye vine teen THE. eOLLBeB INSIGNIA There is in the world of today a tendency to look with disfavor on anything that reminds us of the past. Horace’s “laudatores temporis acti” arc regarded as old-fashioned and ultra-conservative individuals, and their ideas considered of little value usually receive scant attention. So pronounced is this tendency that many of those studies and arts which exert a broadening influence are fast being dropped from the curricula of our colleges, and he who would revive them is regarded as hopelessly behind the march of human progress. Among these obsolescent arts, one which possesses a world of interest for the archaeologist, the philologist, and the modern historian, is that of armory or heraldry. Its history is most interesting as it shows the first efforts of man toward effecting a distinction for himself and his tribe by a peculiar mark or token. It renders clear oftentimes not only the history of old families, races, and peoples, but reveals to the modern student many of the institutions with which the modern historian must deal. It is closely allied to philology in forging the missing links of that, language and sign chain which binds us to pre-historic times. Heraldry as a living art declined with the advent of the Tudors in England, and of the Reformation there and elsewhere. But few families outside the aristocracy retained any heraldic reminder of past times, and the use of heraldic devices was confined almost exclusively to institutions of learning, many of which had to search far and long to lay claim appropriately to any armorial bearing. Mount St. Charles was most fortunate in its heraldic possibilities. The insignia of the institution is, in technical terms: “Or, a chevron vert; on a chief gules a cross throughout argent, the inferior half of each canton per less vert.” In common parlance, the shield or insignia of the institution might be described as a green chevron on a field of gold. On the chief, or upper third, is a silver cross superimposed, the alternate red and green stripes of the Borromeo arms appearing in the cantons on either side. Obviously, the Borromeo arms must receive a special honor in position on the shield. Hence, they are placed in the chief. The alternate stripes of red and green, four in number, are taken from the arms of the Borromeo family of Milan and are placed in the spaces called cantons at the four angles of a silver cross that represents the religious character and significance of the chief of the insignia. The Borromeo arms, however, contain six alternate stripes of red and green. Six were not used in the College shield, first, because of the impossibility of seeing Pnac twenty-one at some distance that number, their narrowness making them almost indistinguishable; and secondly, because this heraldic “abbreviation” is sanctioned by all authorities in armorial science. As a familiar example, it may be recalled that the chief of England's coat-of-arms, when bestowed upon a house, contains but one lion, instead of the customary number, for this same reason of inability to distinguish at a distance a large number from the background of the chief. Because of the fact that the chief is preponderantly of color, it must be placed upon a metal. Gold was the metal used. On this gold field is placed a green chevron. It not only represents the “Mount.” but symbolizes “Montana,” being one of several similar chevrons found on the dexter half of the seal of the Bishop of the Diocese. As this is the diocesan institution of higher learning, it is eminently fitting that some part of the episcopal arms be placed on its insignia. Many might here interpose the question, “Why are not the athletic colors of the College used or placed in the insignia?” The reason of this seeming emission is that the use of purple and gold with the arms of the patronal saint of the College is heraldically impossible, for the Borromeo arms are peculiar in their coloring, and very exacting in their combinations. Since they are incorporated in the chief, it is not possible to use both the purple and the gold in the inferior portion of the shield, and be consistent with the laws of heraldry. The gold is used as the metal forming the field, but an heraldic difficulty arises in the use of the purple. The heraldic colors are red, blue, and black, which are primary, and green and purple which are secondary. The metals are gold and silver. According to the canons of heraldry, one may not use two secondary colors on the same shield. St. Charles' green could not well be given up, but the right of the purple to the position could be ignored, as it could be used anywhere else. As authority for the discrepancy in the colors of the shield and the athletic colors, we may instance that livery colors do not of necessity depend on the shield. The livery color of the English Hanoverians, for example is black, although the shield is red and gold. Livery colors of noble houses may be said to be the equivalent of collegiate athletic colors. And often these difTer materially from the colors on the shield. Thus, according to heraldic authorities, the Seal or Coat-of-Arms of Mount St. Charles is armorially correct, and yet appropriate in conveying an ideaographic picture of the institution. A justification of the use of arms is beyond the scope of this undertaking. Reasons for them, however, are by no means wanting. The arms, in idealistic figures, remind the student of the ideals on which the College was founded. On the seal he may see the golden beauty of truth, of Page tu'fvtjftwo righteousness, in the field d’or. Conscious that his are the arms of the great Milanese, he should be spurred to imitation of the magnificent loyalty of his patron. St. Charles’ cross of silver in the chief should animate him with the spirit necessary for the making of a coming Catholic leader, not a leading Catholic. In the green chevron portion of the shield, representing “Montana,” he may see the Northwest, the great pioneer country, comparatively speaking, which his efforts, be they such as his patron and his Alma Mater would have them be, will make a center of Catholicity, and one of the great units of the American commonwealth. The custom of bearing arms is a bit of an idealistic past that reproaches us for our easy abandonment of those chivalric practices which are so often conspicuous by their absence in our day, and which spur us to a fuller realization of our duties in reviving the spirit of Chivalry and of true Christian knighthood, that made the light of learning and moral progress burn so brightly during the Middle Ages.

Vnge twenty-four I Page twenty-five I-lF riU ) S1 I‘oCM Although its actual accomplishment is of rather late date, Mount St. Charles College had its real inspiration almost fifty years ago. On April 7. 1883, the Right Reverend John Baptist Brondel, I).I)., was appointed administrator of the Vicariate of Montana; and on March 7, 1884, eleven months later, he was appointed first Bishop of the newly erected Diocese of Helena. As early as October 14, 1884, he wrote to the Association for the Propagation of the Faith: “An extraordinary appropriation is asked, as I desire to build a college for boys.” At that time there were laboring in the diocese, which included the whole state cf Montana, but eighteen priests, fourteen Jesuit Fathers and the four diocesan priests, Fathers Remigius DeRyckere of Deer Lodge, J. J. Do s rf Butte, L. S. Tremblay of Frenchtown, and E. W. J. Lindesmith, the U. S. Army Cha'-lain at Fort Keogh. The Reverend Frank J. Kelleher, former pastor of Virginia City, had returned to his native England. Only the first two of these belonged to the Diocese of Helena. The lack of diocesan clergy made it imperative that the Bishop turn to the Fathers of the Society of Jesus for the realization of this contemplated college. In June, 1887, was held the Second Diocesan Synod, at which were present six Jesuit Fathers and the following seven diocesan priests: Fathers Cyril Pauwelyn of the Cathedral, Remigius DeRyckere and Peter DeSiere of Deer Lodge, Henry Vande Ven of Butte, J. J. Dols of Virginia City, L. S. Tremblay. S.T.L., of Frenchtown, and E. W. J. Lindesmith. U. S. Army Chaplain of Fort Keogh. At this synod the diocesan clergy headed by their Bishop petitioned the Father General of the Society of Jesus, the Very Revernd Anton Marie Anderledy. S.J., for the establishment of a college at Helena. The petition was granted, and grounds were purchased for the purpose. Two tracts were obtained, the one at the site of the present St. Joseph's Orphans’ Home in the Valley, the other, a tract on which is located the Peter Beaudry home on Phoenix Avenue, north of the Northern Pacific right of way. A committee to solicit funds for the erection of the new college was appointed, consisting of Dr. William Treacy, John L. Henry, and James Walker. Several thousand dollars were subscribed, but not enough to ensure the success of the undertaking, and the long-hoped-for project was necessarily put in abeyance. The Bishop, however, still trusted that somehow his hopes would be fulfilled. In a letter to his brother in Belgium, the Reverend Charles Brondel, he wrote on May 1, 1899: “All that I need now is a good College with a classical course, and a sufficient number of good missionaries. Page tiveiity-eix These two things would afford much satisfaction to my apostolic life. And I think that, with prayer, patience, and work, these things will come.” Can we doubt that the “prayer, patience, and work” of the saintly Bishop Brondel have found their fruition in MOUNT ST. CHARLES COLLEGE, which is the ideal for which he strove and one of the ends of his apostolic labors? Bishop Brondel did not live to see a Catholic college in Helena; but the realization of his hopes was effected by this successor. Bishop Carroll, who. fitted by training and ability, was enabled to establish the College under the supervision of the diocesan clergy. The immediate predecessor of Mount St. Charles College was St. Aloysius Institute on Catholic Hill. St. Aloysius School, Helena’s first Catholic school for boys, and St. Vincent’s Academy, its first Catholic school for girls, were opened at the same time, in the beginning of January, 1870. Both buildings were situated on the east side of Ewing Street, across from the old frame church, which had been built in 1866; they occupied the site of the present St. Vincent’s Academy. The building used by the boys was the old printing establishment of The Rocky Mountain Gazette the predecessor of the Helena Independent. The Jesuit Fathers had bought the building in the winter of 1867-68, and lived in it until the arrival of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth in October. 1869 It was then given to the Sisters, who lived in it for a few months, until they moved into the original St. Vincent’s Academy, their first school for girls. This latter was a two-story frame building of twelve rooms, and from the beginning was open to both boarders and day-scholars. The old Gazette building was fitted up as a day-school for boys. It was a typical early-day structure, built partly from weatherboards and partly from pine slabs standing upright. One-half was roofed with boards and the other half with earth or clay; rough planks made the floor. Later the old Gazette building was moved and replaced by a new frame structure of larger dimensions, and this served as the boys’ school until the increasing attendance at the Academy necessitated its use for the girls. Subsequently we find the boys attending classes in the old frame church, which had been moved back to give way to the second Church of the Sacred Hearts. When in the spring of 1876, the brick church was ready, the old church and the sacristy of the new church were used as class rooms for the boys. This condition still persevered at the arrival of Bishop Brondel in 1883 and continued until 1890, when the old church was torn down to make room for St. Aloysius Hall, which served as a school for boys and as a parish hall. By 1906 there was enough demand for a boarding school for boys to justify Bishop Carroll in planning residence quarters. Without the assistance of Sister Cornelia of St. John’s Hospital, who generously took upon herself and her community the bur- Paye t went y-sei'Cii den of the domestic and culinary work of the school, the plan could not have been carried to completion. The institution was now capable of caring for both boarders and day-scholars, and the new school placed under the direction of the Reverend Joseph M. Venus as first principal. The name was changed from St. Aloysius School to St. Aloysius Institute and was opened for grammar school and first year high school work on September 8, 190G. In 1907, Professor Charles A. Scullon was appointed Prefect of Discipline and Director of School Activities. Father Venus retired to parochial work in 1909 and was succeeded by the Reverend Joseph C. Willging. The growth of St. Aloysius Institute was rapid, and the need of more room to accommodate the students was becoming more acute. The plan of the Bishop was now to create a college and junior seminary combined. The fifty-acre tract to the north of the city, known as Capitol Hill, was regarded as a suitable site for a larger institution. Half of this tract was owned by the family of former Governor Hauser; the other half, conjointly by the Great Northern Railway and Mr. George Bertine of New York City. With the assistance and generosity of the Hauser family, the Bertine Estate, Mr. Thomas Marlow, then the agent for the Bertine Estate, and Mr. James J. Hill of the Great Northern Railway, the property was transferred to the College. Mrs. A. P. Thatcher, the daughter of Governor Hauser, generously donated her interest in the property. BISHOP CARROLL BREAKING SOD ON HILLTOP Page twenty-right Plans were immediately made for the erection of the new building. Fortunately, Providence favored the Bishop in his undertaking. On May 10, 1893, Mr. James Twohy of Butte, the owner of extensive mining claims throughout the state, made a will, in which he bequeathed to Bishop Brondel the “Burke and Balaklava lodes situated northwest of Meader-ville and adjacent the Modoc Mine, Silver Bow County, Butte.” A few months later Mr. Twohy died, and in the settlement of the estate, the property, later known as the Butte and Balaklava Mine, passed into the hands of Bishop Brondel, who at his death left it to his successor. Bishop Car-roll later sold the property, and from the proceeds was enabled to begin the new college. The site having been so happily secured, the services of Mr. A. O. Von Herbulis of Washington, D. C.. who had previously designed the St. Helena Cathedral and the St. Helena School, were secured as architect for the new building. The new institution was to be five stories high with a frontage of 180 feet and a depth of fifty-five feet. On June 16, 1909, in the presence of the little student body of St. Aloysius Institute, the friends of the new and the old institutions, and the priests of the city, ground was broken for the new building. Early that same fall, on September 27, 1909, the Honorable William Howard Taft, President of the United States, laid the cornerstone of the College. After the ceremony, the President said in part: ‘‘It gives me great pleasure to participate in the laying of cornerstones of institutions of learning, whether of Church or State. We are liberal enough in this country to be willing to help along educational work of all denominations. The College you are building here will be a blessing to Helena and to the whole State of Montana. The only trouble is, we have not institutions enough of this kind in the United States. “Though not of your faith. I cannot but appreciate the good work your Church is doing in this country. I am intimately acquainted with many members of the hierarchy, and I must say that our relations have always been most pleasant. I feel at home among them. I assure you. Bishop, I regard it as an honor and a pleasure both to have made your acquaintance and to have been asked to take part in the laying of the conerstone of your college. I wish you Godspeed in the completion of the institution.” On April 16, 1910, the college structure on Capitol Hill was already a story and a half high. The work was progressing rapidly through the efforts of a corps of men employed by Mr. Peter Jungers, sub-contractor under Mr. Charles T. Gunn of Hamlin and Gunn. Already the structure 1‘agc 1 went g-nine gave promise of being one of the most beautiful buildings in the Capital City, already a city of beautiful homes and buildings. The outer walls were of red porphyry, quarried from the neighboring mountains. The selection of an appropriate name for the college was another pioblem. At the laying of the cornerstone it was thought well to name the new institution Capitol Hill College. This would well fit the history and tradition of Montana and Helena. It was soon realized, however, that the new college should not be without a celestial patron. At this time there appeared the great encyclical of Pius X, commemorating the three hundredth anniversary of St. Charles P� orromeo, the Cardinal Archbishop of Milan. St. Charles had, through the Council of Trent, originated and firmly established in the legislation of the Church the idea of the diocesan college. And thus, was named Mount St. Charles College, after him, whose life and name are all that is implied in the terms, saint, scholar, and gentleman, with the hope that those students who should enjoy the advantages of the institution might become in all things like unto their patron. The College and its naming were approved by the Holy Father in the following letter: Dal Vaticano, Sept. 23, 1910. My dear Lord Bishop: The Holy Father has heard with great satisfaction of your successful efforts in erecting a college and preparatory seminary, and it is with special benevolence that He regards your lordship’s placing it under the patronage of the great Archbishop of Milan, St. Charles Borromeo. His Holiness expresses the fervent hope that, under such patronage, the college will become a center of learning and devotion. Moreover, the Holy Father most cordially bestows His Apostolic Benediction on your lordship, on the priests and faithful of your diocese, on the faculty and pupils of your new college, and lastly on all those who cooperate with you in promoting the good of your college. Assuring your lordship of my esteem, and wishing you every blessing. I am, My dear lord Bishop, Yours very sincerely in J. C., R. Cardinal Merry del Val. On August 8, 1910, Bishop Carroll had sent a letter to all the pastors cf the diocese, to plead the cause of higher education and the aim to beget a native priesthood. The response to the letter and to the efforts that had already been put forth was most encouraging. Though the scheduled date for the opening of the institution was September 14, it was delayed thirty to September 22 on account of a lack of furniture and school equipment, which had been delayed in shipment. Even on September 22, the entire building was not completed, and the boys pursued their studies under difficulties for some weeks. However, after a month the classes were in order, and the great work of the College had begun in earnest. For over a year efforts had been made to gather a Faculty that could successfully launch the new enterprise on its journey. The learning, zeal, and self-sacrifice of those early professors have been no small element in the growth and development of Mount St. Charles. Their names will be found in another part of this book. Necessarily, the beginnings of the institution were small. Classes were conducted from the sixth grade of elementary work through the work of High School. As yet, there were no students of College grade. The registrants for the fourth year of High School were the following: Charles Gabisch, Albert Wiegand. and Angus McKinnon of Helena; Emmet Riley and Will McDermott of Butte; Frank E. Sheehan of Lewistown, and Cecil Carolan of Forsyth. It is significant that of these, three, Charles Gabisch (now Father Thomas, O.P.) Will McDermott (now Father Stanislaus, O.P.), and Emmet Riley later pursued their studies to the priesthood. , The problem of the curriculum had been studied for over a year before the opening of the college. It embraced in its scope all the branches of commercial, English, scientific, classical, and philosophical training, though the teaching of all these branches, because of lack of students, was not put into effect immediately. It was the purpose of these interested in the College to gradually eliminate the lower classes as the years went on. The elementary classes were finally discontinued in 1919. It has been found that the lower classes gradually decreased in numbers as those of higher grade increased. The recreational activities of the students were not neglected. A whole section of the lower floor of the building was reserved for indoor sports; a hand ball alley had been erected to the northeast of the main building; a splendid baseball field had been prepared at the northwest end of the campus. In gratitude for the use of the baseball park, the Helena Baseball Association of the Intermountain League had erected a capacious grandstand and bleacher seats in the form of an ampitheater, which served its purpose until the fall of 1928. The recreational activities were under the direction of Mr. Charles Scullon, later ordained and as Father Scullon, a member of the Faculty of the College. It was in recognition of the pioneer work of Father Scullon in the field of athletics that the new athletic field of Mount St. Charles was called Scullon Field. Page thirty-one The first year of the College marks the beginning of many traditions. The patronal feast of the College was celebrated on November 4. The annual retreat was first given in Holy Week from Wednesday, April 12 to Easter Sunday, April 1G. The Faculty and students were saddened by the death of Professor F. V. Vollert, instructor in Music, which occurred on April 12. The first annual track meet was held at the College Athletic Field on April 27. The first oratory and elocution contests were staged on June 1. Frank Sheehan winning the elocution and Joseph Riley the oratorical contest. The closing exercises were held on the scheduled date, June 14. The first students of College grade were registered at the openimr of school on September 12, 1911, Charles J. Gabisch, who had graduated from Mount St. Charles High School the preceding June, and Frank W. Carpino of Meaderville. Patrick McVeigh of Butte, our first College graduate, was registered for first college work in September, 1912. The second year of the life of Mount St. Charles marks the beginning of a number of organizations. The League of the Sacred Heart, the Holy Name Society, and the Brondel Literary Society were started on their ways, all of which contributed much to the interest and profit of the students during the years that followed. On Commencement Day, June 12, the appointment of the Reverend John L. McMullen as president to succeed the Reverend Stephen J. Sullivan, I).I)., was announced. Too, on July 1 of this year appeared the first College magazine, the Mount St. Charles Scholastic, a publication that was edited, in great part, by the members of the Faculty of the College and that was financed through the generosity of Helena Council 844 of the Knights of Columbus. The opening of the College in September, 1912, was marked by a fifty per cent increase in the enrollment over that of the previous year. This can be partially accounted for by the introduction of the commercial course, which was inaugurated that year. In the fall of 1912 the College acquired one of the finest collections of ores and minerals in the Northwest. The collection was long known as the Cosmopolitan Hotel Cabinet and was exhibited in that old-time hostelry. The cabinet was presented to the College by Mr. William Steuwe. Early in the year, 1913, Mr. James J. Hill of St. Paul pledged fifty thousand dollars to the endowment fund, which was being raised at that time. The year 1913-1914 continued to show an increase over its predecessor. During this year was established the “Thespian Club,” an organization devoted to dramatic productions. Its inspiration and director was the Reverend V. U. LeClair. Its first production, “On the Trail of the Lonesome Pine,” was staged at St. Helena’s Hall on November 4. Two other plays were staged during the year. Page thirtg-two A twenty-five per cent increase in the enrollment marked the opening of the College in September, 1914. During this year there was inaugurated the first of the courses in philosophy, under the direction of Father Norbert C. Hoff. On September 23, on the occasion of the silver jubilee of the priesthood of Bishop Carroll, the Bishop paid the note for the last of the debt on the new institution, a sum of over $22,000. On November 16, Mr. James J. Hill redeemed his pledge by presenting his check for fifty thousand dollars to the endowment Fund, a gift he had promised on the condition that a like amount would be raised through other sources for the same purpose. The year, 1914, too marks the first football team of note in the College history, under the direction of Mr. Walter S. Yund. Of the athletics of the College, however, an account is given in another section of “The Pioneer.” The next scholastic year, 1915-1916 showed an increased student body and Faculty. At this time Mr. John D. Ryan of Butte made a donation of five thousand dollars to the Endowment Fund, the second gift he had made to this splendid cause. The usual activities were carried on. and traditions were becoming more firmly entrenched. In the spring of that year, was graduated our first College graduate, Mr. Patrick F. McVeigh, with the first degree conferred by the College. During the next year, 1916-1917, Father McMullen was succeeded by the Reverend Peter F. Macdonald as president of the College. The “Legion of Honor” was organized this year by the Reverend Patrick Casey. Devoted to honor of the Blessed Sacrament, the members were enthusiastic in their work and to the cause for which the organization was formed. The first quarterly issue of “The Prospector,” the successor to the “Scholastic,” appeared in November, 1916. under the direction of the Reverend John J. Tracy. On June 13, 1917, ground was broken for the new gymnasium and science building to be constructed during the summer months. It followed in the Gothic architectural lines and was constructed at right angles to the north of the main building. The ever-increasing numbers in the science classes made the new science faculties imperative. The new building was in course of construction during the next scholastic year and was ready for occupancy in the fall of 1918. September, 1917, marked the inauguration of the pre-professional courses to the college curricula. The great number of Montana boys who were preparing themselves for professional work made such courses a necessity if the College were to fulfill its purpose. The courses were immediately popular and accounted in some measure for the increased enrollment of that year. However, the entrance of the United States into Page lltirf u-three BREAKING GROUND FOR NEW GYMNASIUM the Great War militated somewhat against a much larger student body. The pre-professional courses were a success, and from their beginnings to the present have been ever growing. The fall of 1918 was significant in the growth of the institution. At that time the United States established with us a unit of the Students Army Training Corps. Major George W. Edgington, U. S. A., assisted by Lieutenants Marvin B. Robinson, Claude E. Ncihart, and Arthur Raymond and Sergeant Reavis of the United States Army, were in charge of the Unit. Quarters in the residence sections of the building were not sufficient to care for the enlisted men, and for that reason, the Great Northern Railway generously permitted the use of their station for dormitory quarters. The end of the War announced the end of the Students Army Training Corps, and in December, 1918, the Unit was discharged. Captain Clarence McDonald, who had come to the College in the fall of 1918, had prepared the way for the establishment of the S. A. T. C. so that the work of organization was well under way at the time of the arrival of the regular army officers. After the discharge of the regular Army unit. Captain McDonald took charge of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, a unit of which had been approved by the War Department on January 15, 1919. Captain McDonald conducted the Unit until the arrival of Captain Harry K. Adams, U. S. A., who was in charge of Mili- Pagc thirty-four tary Science and Tactics until the discontinuance of the Unit in June, 1920. The contribution of Mount St. Charles to the Great War is not measured alone by the establishment of the S. A. T. C. Young as was the College at the outbreak of the war, it numbered among its alumni commissioned and non-commissioned officers who deserved well the promotions that came later to them all. A host of our former students responded to the call for volunteers, and served in all branches of the service. The first Montana soldier to fall in battle. Private Ray Brent, and the first Montana officer to give his life in France, Lieutenant Harold Joyce, were both former students of Mount St. Charles. September, 1919, marked the appointment of the Reverend John J. Tracy, Ph.D., as president of the College to succeed the Reverend Peter F. Macdonald, who was transferred to parish work. In January, 1920, the Reverend John J. O’Kennedy was placed at the head of the drive for funds with which to erect the new college building, the need of which had become imperative to accommodate the growing numbers of students of the College. The citizens of Helena responded in a generous manner, and the princely gift of fifty thousand dollars given by Senator T. C. Power in the name of the members of the Power family enabled the College to proceed further with its plans. Ground was broken for the new building to the south of the main building in the spring of 1920. The R. 0. T. C. was discontinued with the close of the College in June, 1920. Classes were again resumed, but without the military in September, 1920. At the conclusion of the program on the eve of the Christmas vacation in that year, the announcement was made of the appointment of the Reverend X. C. Hoff to succeed the Reverend John J. Tracy as president of the College. The next few years of the college life were uneventful, being marked only by the gradual growth in student enrollment and constant application to the improvement of the courses. In September, 1923, the department of education was added to those already existing, and immediately became popular with a number who anticipated teaching as a life’s career. On Sunday, May 20. 1923, the cornerstone of the new library and Residence Hall to the north of the main building was laid in the presence of a number of friends of the College. The dedication of the new building took place on June 1, 1921, and the building was opened in September, 1924. Almost immediately all its facilities were utilized. Storming the tide of trial of youth and early expansion, Mount St. Charles is now finishing its twentieth year, has assumed a leading place Page thirty-five among the educational institutions of the Northwest, and gives promise of an ever-increasing growth. It has fulfilled the visioned hopes of its founders and the promises of its early years. Over a score of its former students have been ordained to the priesthood, now serving in dioceses in Delaware, Indiana, Illinois, Colorado, Idaho, and Montana. Two of them have become members of religious orders, and nine of our graduates are priests of the diocese of Helena, four of whom are members of the Faculty of their Alma Mater. Scores of the younger members of the legal, medical, and engineering professions of Montana and her sister states received their foundation with us, and the splendid strides they are taking forward they ascribe in no small measure to the training they received at Mount St. Charles. In their success we take no little pride; on their example in accomplishment, in ambition, in the splendid qualities of sterling Christian manhood we build our hopes for the future of their successors in the halls of Mount St. Charles. Twenty years is not a long span in the life of an educational institution. Yet, twenty years accompanied by the struggles that must necessarily be the portion of every infant undertaking, and accomplishing with such fruitful results the formation of so many young men who have attained success, is no small reason for boasting. The curious seek the last resting places of those who have attained success; the thinkers seek the place wherein were built and moulded, “Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands.” These virtues invariably find their source in the home, in the kindly and wise guidance of self-sacrificing parents, but their development in no small degree is the work, and. if accomplished, the pride of the Alma Mater that sends forth its graduates with sound consciences, with lofty standards, with high ambitions, with the firm foundations of moral and intellectual training. Such have been the young men whom Mount St. Charles has sent forth on life’s journey; such is the pride of Mount St. Charles in her sons who have gone forth from her halls and in those who still are the fond objects of her fostering care.

On them devolved the organization of the work, the preparation of a course of study, the fitting up of the new building, the facing of difficulties, the overcoming of obstacles, the development of order out of a near chaos that would have dismayed and discouraged any but true and tried pioneers. How well they succeeded is shown by the prosperous, well organized condition of Mount St. Charles today. Prodoehl, McMullen, Joyce, Rose, Kelly, Brophy, O’Maley, Ryan. Scullon Willging, Day.

Pttye forty THE FACUETT SINCE 1910 When the first annual prospectus of the College appeared in 1910 it made the following announcement relative to the faculty: “The faculty is made up of Diocesan priests and laymen who have been especially prepared for their work. It will be the constant endeavor of the Board of Trustees and Officers of the college to maintain a staff of professors whose natural aptitude and training in the science of pedagogics will give unquestionable guarantee of success.” This ideal has been the same for twenty years, and each member of the stall' has left a successful record to attest it.

He keeps the watch along the borders of darkness and makes the attack on the trenches of ignorance and folly. Patient in his daily duty, he strives to conquer the evil powers which are the enemies of youth. He awakens sleeping spirits. He quickens the indolent, encourages the eager, and steadies the unstable. He communicates his own joy in learning and shares with boys the best treasures of his mind. He lights many candles, which in later years, will shine back to cheer him. This is his reward. Henry Van Dyke. '« • forty, sir F A e II Id t forty-seven VERY REVEREND NORBERT C. HOFF.

Secretary-Treasurer The Class of 1930, the largest by far in the history of Mount St. Charles College, has been particularly active throughout the four years which it has spent on Hilltop. As orators, debators, actors, essayists, scholars, journalists, and athletes, many members of the class have been outstanding. However, the Senior Class wishes to lay hold to its greatest claim of fame as the first class to undertake the publication of a history, THE PIONEER, which includes not only their own record of achievements, but also the achievements of all who have graduated before.

The gridiron has been the scene of greatest activity on the part of the class, six members having held regular positions on the varsity squad for three years. The work of “Chick” Garner at right half, Perc” Evans at right end, Francis O'Connor at left tackle, Norvel Thornburg at right tackle, “Terry” Word at guard, and Larry Scheewe at left half, will long be remembered as a brilliant chapter in the glowing history of football at St. Charles. At basketball, the group has been equally famous. Four members of the class held down regular berths as members of the varsity squad; “Chick” Garner, captain of 1930 as guard, “Perc” Evans and Francis O’Connor as guards, and “Larry” Scheewe as forward. The class has been ably represented on the stage by the dramatic ability of Richard Leiehner, who has also held the position of circulation manager of the Mount St. Charles paper, the Prospector. Purjc sixty-seven PRE PROFESSIGNAR GRASSES The pre-professional course had their inception in the curriculum of Mount St. Charles College in 1917, in the desire to maintain higher standards. Few nave been the universities which have demanded either the Degree of Bachelor of Arts or of Science as entrance requirements. Where the degree is demanded it has been a question chiefly of the older institutions established in those sections where there has existed a plethora of professional men. The too patent result of these low standards lies in the short cut from the High School to the University. Usually the High School graduate is mature neither in body nor in mind. Into his mind certain information has been crammed, the beginnings of mental formation may have been made. However, the High School graduate may not be relied upon to possess the power of analysis and of grasp which warrant the pursuance of professional courses. Although successes may be counted in spite of the lack of collegiate training, as a rule such, though professionally successful, do not enjoy the culture, the breadth, the broad outlook and interest which is the gift of liberal collegiate education. It is earnestly desired that all professional schools may soon require a college course as a prerequisite. Even now the day is quickly passing when the short cut may be taken from the High School to law, medicine, or any of the professions. Page sixty-eight f 1 GEORGE J.

Although defeated by the Freshmen in the first traditional “Old Boy-New Boy” football game, with true St. Charles fight and spirit they demanded a return encounter, in which the new lads were thoroughly convinced that youth is not always to be served. The initiation of the “frosh”, although participated in by all of the upperclassmen, was a particular delight of the Sophomores, whose memories of past outrages were but a year old. The operation of the week of December 9-14 was a success, and the patients, the Freshmen, almost, but not quite, died. Following the initiation program, a Freshman’s letter to a friend was revealed to the President of the Sophomore Class with the writer’s permission to publish it. It appears as follows: Mount St. Charles, December 17, 1929. Dear Dora, As I told you in my last letter. Hell Week was celebrated here. The upperclassmen told us that it was one of the oldest traditions of the College and had to be kept. The way they pounded us, you’d think they had to kill two or three to make it a success. On Monday they rounded us up, just like your old man rounds up cattle, and herded us into the Assembly. The High Mogul Burr read a list of rules as long as the Congressional Record and told us what we could do and not do during the week. About all we could do in peace was go to Chapel. There was one terrific rule, which said that any of the Frosh who were in bed when an upperclassman entered their rooms should crawl under the bed and stay there until he was excused. I did most of my studying under the bed. Then this High Mogul guy, the one that supervised the layout, gave us a potato to carry around during the week. If we lost it, it was just too bad. The following days of the week were a continual job for everyone. We couldn’t eat, we couldn’t study. We shined shoes, did odd jobs, so odd that no one else would do them, cleaned rooms, wrote letters, both love and business, read missives in the dining hall, which were so crazy that a lunatic wouldn’t read them, and then at night about ten of us would get a summons to the Royal Court of the Potato. Such a frame-up! Page eeventgsevtn They paddled our angles all day, and then they were disappointed if a hard-wood paddle didn’t break over the same angle. Then on Saturday they chased us down town to entertain the people. They gave Shubat a roll of paper and told him to distribute programs. He would have made a poor insurance risk at the time. They permitted Brennan to wash “what-cha-ma-call-its” which are advertised as “dainty silk underthings” down on the main drag. He was good. They asked McMahon, one of the Havre delegation, to propose to the ladies. And he accepted. The Sophs all expected to see him get popped. Saturday night we passed the last stages. I can’t explain what they did to us, but whatever it was, it was plenty! I was so dizzy I couldn’t hit the ground with a stick. We were dragged out one by one and put through the mill. Everyone had that “Just-Before-the-Battle,-Mother” feeling. After we got through, the High Mogul gave us a speech, patting us on the back and saying we bore it like men. I wish they had thought of that earlier in the week, then I could have slept on my back. I guess they are not such bad fellows after all. Yours, with love, Egbert. P. S.—Tell your old man that skin toughener was punk. I’m still sitting on a pillow. The Class of 1932 has been ably represented on the gridiron by Sidney Smith, Jerry Gunigal, John H. Nash, J. T. Nash, George Dovle, Frank Seitz and Bill McMahon. Many activity honors fell to the members of the class. Charles Lanphier and John Stafford placed first and second respectively in oratory, winning the President’s Gold and Silver Medals. Charles Lanphier received second place in the Montana Intercollegiate Oratorical Contest, and the Sir James J. Walsh Pre-Legal Scholarship Award. He was a member of the debating team. The Sophomore Class has set standards of achievement in many lilies which those who will follow after them may well try to attain.

The Class distinguished itself by its subjection to the formal and informal rites of the institution in% a true St. Charles spirit. The boys of 1933 have done many things to bring upon themselves the spotlight of fame. Rudolph Ferlic led the entire College scholastically by maintaining a practically perfect average for the entire nine months. The majority of those out for debate during the year were Freshmen, and Raymond Botch gained the right to compete in the final of the Oratorical Contest. Another member of the Class, Robert Mackin, won first award in the Short Story Contest. The president of the Class, John Brennan, was honored with the position of manager of the athletic teams. Although none of the members of the Class attained positions on the Varsity Football squad, many of the boys gave a large share of their time going after bumps and bruises in order that the Varsity might have something to practice on. In basketball, the Class was not content with a back seat, but pushed to the front with the trio known as the “Ronan Terrors,” Roullier, Clair-mont and Egan. The record of the Freshmen is an enviable one, which will serve as an incentive for the members to accomplish great works in the course of the next three years.

Page eightII-four (TRADITIONS ■ page eight it-fi• TRADITIONS MASS OF THE HOLY GHOST In the first week of the sehool year, the Mass of the Holy Ghost is celebrated to invoke the Spirit of Truth that our minds may be illuminated with the true light of infinite wisdom. There is nothing so important as proper preparedness in setting out on a journey, likewise is is indispensable that at the incipience of our moral and intellectual itinerary we be thoroughly equipped to overcome all obstacles that may beset our path and so progress perseveringly to the end. ST. CHARLES DAY November 4, the feats of the anniversary of St. Charles Borromeo, the patron saint of Mount St. Charles College is a day of lively reminiscences at Hilltop. Solemn High Mass is celebrated in the morning, and at noon an all-faculty, all-student banquet is served in the College refectory. HOME COMING DAY The return of the graduates to old Alma Mater is, of course, livened by the classic football tilt played on the home field. Beside the game, reunions and confabs of times and deeds gone by are the order of the day. ANNUAL RETREAT In December, a week preceding the Day of the Immaculate Conception, is spent by all members of the student body in making a spiritual retreat of meditation, prayer, and devotion. The retreat is concluded with a Solemn High Mass at which is given the Papal Blessing. INITIATION At the close of the football season and immediately after the retreat, the new boys are submitted to a wild week of servitude, ignominy and high and low justice. At the conclusion of it all, a finale of ceremonies is held with great gusto in the gymnasium. Page eighty-six MONOGRAM CLUB CHRISTMAS DINNER To open the Christmas festive season, just before the winter holidays, a dinner is tendered the members of the Varsity Football Squad who make up the Monogram Club. Friends of the College are invited in great number, and both the glories of the football season just past, and the anticipated joys of the Christmas holidays are subjects for the after-dinner speakers. LIBRARY DAY A day is put on the winter quarter calendar for the purpose of providing among the students a more than common interest in the educational facilities of the Mount St. Charles Library. An assembly is directed by the members of the library staff in which the importance of books, periodicals and reference works are stressed with suggestion as to the best method of using them. BLESSING OF THE FLAG % It is the custom of each Senior Class to present to the College as a symbol of twin loyalties to God and country a flag of the United States of America. The presentation is made by Senior Class president at the Patriotic Dinner on Washington’s birthday. Previous to 1930 this ceremony has taken place in the College Chapel, but a new tradition was inaugurated at the twentieth annual Commencement when the flag was blessed in St. Helena’s Cathedral by the President of the College after the Pontifical High Mass. The flag was then raised on the College Campus. This occasion marks the last official tribute of the graduating class to its country and college. CAMPUS DAY The traditional Campus Day which marks the observance of a long established event falls on the first or second Saturday of May when on this particular day all the student body must abstain from a week-end and remove countless rocks from one place on the campus to another. The president of the Student Council commands all activities and provides sufficient entertainment to keep enthusiasm alive. On the same day, a certain group of students, which varies from year to year, is delegated to ascend Mount Helena with brushes and buck- Page eight g-Aeven ets of white-wash in order to redecorate the huge “C” which reposes on the north slope of the mountain. THIRTEEN HOURS The last formal religious devotion of the Seniors is the Thirteen Hours Adoration observed on a Sunday late in May. Solemn High Mass is celebrated in the morning followed by devotions every hour attended by various groups of students and led by a Senior. Solemn Benediction closes the adoration in the evening.

It developed November. 1916, from the Mount Saint Charles Scholastic, which had been founded in June, 1912. The purpose of The Prospector is chiefly to cultivate in the students the power of literary expression. It serves, besides, as a means of uniting more closely the student of the past with the college boys of today. Moreover, parents have, in The Prospector, a means of keeping informed concerning current events at the College. In the initial number of The Prospector, the ideals and hopes of the students, anent their magazine, are set forth as follows: “The Prospector is the term under which Mount Saint Charles Scholastic will henceforth be known. Our name has the merit of brevity. Moreover, it is rich in connotations, especially for citizens of Montana. It carries us back into the dim past, when our state was emerging from the wilds; more, it wafts us onward on the wings of fancy into the distant future, when Montana will be the cynosure of all eyes, the cherished El Dorado of the fortunate who shall have the courage to take up then-abode here, the virility to do and dare. “We are all proud of Montana. To us it is the dearest and fairest of the 48 stately sisters of the great American family, because it provides us with what we love to call ‘Home, Sweet Home.’ Montana is, indeed, God’s country, exhilarating in atmosphere, fertile in soil, laden with mineral wealth. All these blessings of this thriving commonwealth we enjoy; and, while we profit by them, with grateful hearts we remember the grand old pioneers, the prospectors, who blazed the trail, who bore the heats and burdens of the day, that we and those who will come after us may have unexcelled opportunities, luxuries without hardship and prosperity without the worry of impending failure. To these pioneers, the early and latter-day prospectors, our hats are off, and in reverence for their memory we style our College magazine The Prospector. “Not on the past, however, is our vision mainly set. We glance back, indeed, but only to be all the more invigorated for the journey ahead. Our eyes are fixed mostly on the future. With the intrepidity and perseverance of the prospector for gold, the students of Mount St. Charles College intend to be prospectors for the higher things. As they have already begun, so will they continue to pursue learning, up to the heights, even though obstacles intervene mounting Ossa on Pelion. Vuyc ninety-two “Prospectors for knowledge, yes, and for virtue and character, too, are the students of the Hilltop College. Abeunt Studia in Mores. Our studies on Capitol Hill are of the kind that will find practical expression in the sturdiest and most admirable type of character. We are training to be true to our God. If we accept the training, we know that we shall be false to no man. For all this we are prospecting, for science, for virtue, for sterling character; hence the College magazine, that takes cognizance of our efforts, and spurs us on to nobler achievements, is fittingly dominated The Prospector. “Ours is a young College with, as yet, only few graduates. As we increase in years, there is every evidence that we shall rise in numbers and in fame. The higher the mountaineer ascends the broader his prospect. So with Mount St. Charles; the longer the College endures and the higher it rises in the scale of excellence, the wider becomes its vision and the more appropriate will seem the designation of its official organ, The Prospector ' Pa ye nhiety-three Conran, Sullivan.

This right is manifested in the Student Council, which is comprised of student representatives from each department and the classes therein. The Constitution and By-Laws of the Student Council were approved by the President of the College on September 17, 1023. Its purpose is set forth in Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution as adopted: “The purpose of the Student Council shall be to secure cooperation of the students of the College to effect their own educational betterment and enjoyment; to conserve and build up the traditions of Alma Mater; to publish The Prospector’ as the official news and literary publication Page ninety-four of the College; to publish the Alumni Hilltop Roundup; to provide recreational management; to hold pep and mass meetings for the support of student and college enterprises; to edit a daily bulletin board to be known as the Student Council Bulletin; to support the Honor Point Schedule of the College.” REPRESENTATION FOR THE YEAR 1929-30 “C” Representative...................J.

Secretary This organization was established at the College in 1911. Its purpose is to develop among the students a reverence for God and the things of God, and a repugnance toward all kinds of objectionable language. It meets monthly on the Saturday before the second Sunday. In the world today there is a great need for this Holy Name Society. There is a tendency to abuse the Holy Name Jesus,” to show disrespect to the teachings of Almighty God, and to laugh and ridicule whatever approaches the supernatural. To maintain and to increase man’s‘faith in the divinity of the Savior is the chief object of the Society; to promote respect and honor for His Name. The means: An organized body of men, striving heart and soul to make Jesus better known and loved—this is the Holy Name Society and its aim.” Ti l Id CATHOLIC STUDENT’S MISSION CRUSADE John F. Cronin ................................... President The Catholic Student’s Mission Crusade was founded in July, 1918, at a Student Convention held in Techny, Illinois. It was organized in Mount St. Charles College, January 8. 1922, and is affiliated with the national organization. The object of this society is to cultivate an intelligent interest in home and foreign missions by means of lectures, good works, etc. It aims to support mission work chiefly by prayer, and by such contributions in money as members may be willing to make.

Contests in forsenie oratory were carried on under the guidance of the Brondel Literary Society, and much interest was manifested in the work by the entire student body. In recent years, however, (he College has plunged into inter-collegiate debate on a really large scale. Hilltop orators have competed upon the platforms of most of the leading institutions of the Northwest, and have made an enviable record for Mount St. Charles College in debate. Each year a preliminary house contest is open to all students in order that a team may be selected. The question debated is that of the National Debating Fraternity, Phi Kappa Delta. On December 10. 1923, the organization of a Debating Club was effected. Considerable interest was manifested over the prospect of having an active club, and officers were elected: Andrew V. Corry, presi- dent; Dominic F. Feeney, vice-president; Linus M. Dougherty, secretary; Richard J. Lally, treasurer. In that year debates were arranged with Wyoming University, University of Southern California, Intermountain Union and Montana University. The 1925 debators, Linus M. Dougherty, Richard J. Lally and R. Vincent Kavanagh successfully engaged the teams of Intermountain Union, North Dakota Agriculture College, Montana State College and the University of Montana. Richard J. I ally and Vincent Kavanagh were team members in 192b debating Montana State College, Billings Polytechnic Institute, University of Montana and Intermountain Union. The Deba-tor's Club had a very strenuous program in 1927 when, represented by Joseph P. Monaghan, Emmet Rodgers and Oscar A. Provost, debates were scheduled with University of Montana. Montana State College, Montana School of Mines and the Colorado State Teacher’s College. In 1928 Joseph Monaghan, Emmet Rodgers and Jerry O’Connell debated Colorado State Teacher’s College, Montana State College, University of Montana, Montana School of Mines, Intermountain Union and Billings Polytechnic Institute.

O’Connell, undertook the greatest barnstorming tour on Mount St. Charles’ record. It embraced four states. Debates were successfully conducted with Inter-mountain Union, Montana State College. Billings Polytechnic Institute, Montana Normal, University of Montana. College of Idaho, University of Idaho, South Branch, Weber College of Ogden and Montana School of Mines. 1930 The last season’s schedule was marked with an innovation that makes it the outstanding debate season in ten years. Mount St. Charles College engaged in its first radio debate. Charles J. Lanphier and Harold E. Johnson met the debators of Montana School of Mines over Butte, Montana, station KGIR. The Saints by virtue of both the critic judges’ decision and the popular vote had the honor of winning this first inter-collegiate radio debate to be held in Montana. Page one hundred five The debate was broadcast on Sunday evening, April 27. The contest aroused much interest at the time it was given as was evidenced by the large number of ballots printed by the Montana Standard in its newspaper, and returned by those who had listened in. Announcement of the winner was made over KGIR on the following Sunday. The judges voted two to one for the Hilltoppers, and the popular votes went to the same side 242 to 204. The question used was the one scheduled by the Phi Kappa Delta, national debating fraternity. “Resolved, that the nations should adopt a policy of complete disarmament, excepting such forces as are necessary for police purposes.” Because of the favorable reception given the debate this year, the School of Mines and St. Charles will probably repeat the radio feature next year when it comes time for their annual contest. This debate was the second in which the Saints had engaged. Their first encounter was with the Eastern Montana Normal College of Billings on April 9 which was a no-decision contest. In that contest the Saints upheld the affirmative side of the question. On May 19 they traveled to Spokane and defeated the Gonzaga University debators upholding the affirmative side of the national question. Faye one hundred six DRAMATICS Early in the history of the life of Mount St. Charles, interest was taken in dramatics. While no formal club was organized during the earlier years of the college, still, each year several men of the student body, under the directorship of a member of the faculty, undertook the presentation of a play or series of short one-act plays. Early accounts show that in the year 1913, a short drama, “On the Trail of the Lonesome Pines,” was presented at St. Helena Hall under the direction of Mr. V. U. LeClair. This was probably the first of St. Charles’ many successful sojourns in dramatics, and the cast of this first production included Abel, Joyce, Reilly, Smith, Deeny, Patten, Hines, Keough, Hefling, McVeigh, and Barnes. On February 20 of the same school year, “The Toastmaster,” a three act comedy, was played with great success, Mr. V. U. LeClair again directing for the students. During the Fall of 1915, Father LeClair assisted in the presentation of a number of one-act plays among which were: “Freshie ” “The Child.” “Negro Manager,” and “In Honor Bound.” The one-act plays were a most enjoyable diversion from the three-act comedies of the previous year. “The Call was presented on February 25, 1910, under the guidance of Father V. U. LeClair and marked the first serious effort in dramatics of a classical nature; serious, in the sense that the students were organized more or less in the form of a club. 1919 marks the year of the beginning of the Dramatic Club as an organization, and from this date on, there has never been a break in dramatic interest and work. Father Clyde Turnbull, at this time took over the directorship and supervision of all dramatics, and his ability and perseverance bore fruit in the many splendid productions that followed. During the school year of 1919-1920, excellent plays that were given were “Believe Me, Xantippe,” It Pays to Advertise,” and “Rolling Stones.” “Ready Money” was played in 1920-1921 and the plot, based on “big business,” served as the framework of a comedy most catchy and entertaining. Father Turnbull had the support of an excellent cast. During the year 1921-1922 two plays were presented. The first, Puf e one hundred seven “Stop Thief ’ was a light but clever comedy that kept the crowd interested as well as in an uproar. The second play of the year, “The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary,” was one of the truly great successes of all St. Charles’ dramatic work. One-act plays and “In Walked Jimmy” were the efforts of the Dramatic Club the following school year. During the year 1923-1924 was presented that truly clever and loving comedy-drama, “Cappy Ricks.” 1924-1925 saw the presentation of “Vacation” and one-act plays. “The Toastmaster” and “Broadway Jones” were offered the next year with great success. “Applesauce” was the offering of 1925-1926. and it was as lively and modern as the title would indicate. Father E. J. Riley took over the burden of directing dramatics this year. The famous and hear-warming old drama, “Three Wise Fools” was given to the great satisfaction of the dramatic fans of the College during 1927-1928. While the play, “The Three Wise Fools, did not double up its audiences, still, it was a greater success in that it was long remembered. and it carried feeling and lesson rather than hilarity. The last of the St. Charles Dramatic Club presentations was the 1928-1929 play, “The Four-Flusher,” a comedy built about small town business life. The play was directed by Father E. J. Riley. Mount St. Charles has been somewhat handicapped in that it has no hall primarily constructed for dramatic work. Yet. this obstacle is more than counteracted when one considers the caliber of the many who have been engaged in dramatics at Hilltop. St. Charles men who have made a success of female roles are: John Kenny, Bernard Topel, Richard Lally, Andrew Corry, John Kopp, Edward Moran and John Mullen. These men were clever and drew many a laugh from the audience that no girl could have received with an entire night’s effort. St. Charles has been fortunate in having a large field from which to draw leading men. Of all the leads, John Hand was probably the cleverest, though there were those who preferred Tom Savage, and those who preferred William Troy. Edward Commers, too, had his day, though he was better fitted for comic-character work. Greatest of all the performers at Hilltop were the character men. Be it comedy, be it love, be it sweet and handsome lovers, the essential weight of a play falls on the shoulders of the character portrayer. lie is Puge out hundred right the one who is most criticized and the one to whom the crowd looks to carry the play. St. Charles has had four clever character actors in the persons of Hugh Faley, Andrew Corry, James DeGroat and Edgar Baum. Fa ley and Corry represent the earlier dramatic efforts at the College, while DeGroat and Baum carried the burden in later years. Strange to say, each man is of a different type and each is true to his type when on the stage. Faley is most lovable and humorous depicting the typical fleshy old gentleman so often met and so much smiled with. His appeal is totally to the feeling and he represents innocent, harmless old age. Corry is a wit and yet he has the ability to create an uproar at any moment. Corry appeals partially to the intellect and partially to the emotions. Even though one has not experienced life, one can laugh at the efforts of this artist who undoubtedly tops the list of St. Charles’ actors. James DeGroat is the smoothest character actor that ever took to the St. Charles stage. With unbelievable ease and sweetness, he pulls laugh after laugh from the crowd. DeGroat's appeal was entirely to the humor that lies in every man. Edgar Baum, the most prominent of the later character-men, is totally a wit and cynic on the platform. His appeal is altogether to the intellect, and there are those in every audience who do not care for his work in that they do not understand—the cut comes too deep. While Faley, Corry and DeGroat can make an audience laugh in peals of thunder, Baum has probably drawn as many smiles from St. Charles audiences as any one actor.

The play was a success from every viewpoint and was voted by many present the best yet presented by the Hilltop thespians. The cast made up the strongest aggregation ever chosen for a College production. Andrew V. Corry, as Cappy Ricks, lovable old crab of the shipping business, was at his best. Dominic Feeney carried the part of Skinner in a most creditable fashion.

Daniel Harrington, James De Groat and Edgar Baum, who characterized the three wise fools, were exceptionally good and fully pleased the audience with their interpretations of the three old, eccentric, and hard-to-please bachelors. John D. Mullen with his impersonations of the girl was most effective. Edward Commers won full-hearted approval in his impressions of the dashing, love-making, gay Lothario.

The large crowd of attentive spectators who witnessed the initial performance were unanimous in their praise and proclaimed it as one of the best humorous offerings ever on the dramatic calendar. All the actors and “actresses” were well chosen for their roles and carried them in a manner little short of professional. “The Four-Flusher” was repeated on May 20 before an enthusiastic audience in Townsend, and again in the College Gymnasium on May 24 for the delegates at the State Convention of the Knights of Columbus.

Each year a larger number of manuscripts are submitted. Past performances have proved that the short story ability of Mount St. Charles students is on a par with that of any other college in the country. The winner of the first place receives a gold medal; second place a silver medal, both of which are presented as are all other medal awards, at the Commencement program.

Every elfort is made by the members of the Class to make the dance successfully uphold the tradition already established. The best of musicians are engaged, and the program is interspersed with delightful specialty numbers. The 1930 Pre-Medics Ball at the Shrine Temple on Friday, May 2. was taken to be the most successful affair of the season. A rather morbid atmosphere awaited the dancers, who numbered close to three hundred. The class colors, black and white, completely covered the ceiling and walls of the temple, in a most decorative and clever manner. How to “bury our mistakes,” was exhibited in the form of a coffin placed at the door of the ball room. The program dancing was initiated by the customary grand% march, which displayed formality and spectacular rhythm to the marching tempo of the “Stein Song.” Miss Louise Shearer, and her escort, William McMahon, led the march. Mr. McMahon is president of the Pre-Medic Class. Mr. Donald J. Plunkett, faculty advisor of the Class, accompanied by Miss Dorothy Falhaber, were next in line. The entertainment was carried out in true medical fashion. The programs themselves, illustrated with a coffin, were very cleverly arranged with the technical terms, consisting of fourteen dances with the diagnosis, and leaving four dances for the relapse. During the “Kinesin-oneurosis,” or third diagnosis, “The dance of the Skeletons,” revealed death seated on his royal throne, chancellor of the dance. The Phil Sheridan Orchestra of Great Falls appeared as “spinal ane-thesia” during the alfair. Patrons and patronesses consisted of Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Flynn, Dr. and Mrs. S. A. Cooney, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur S. Eaton, and Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Slattery. Paue one hundred nineteen STUDENT COUNCIL CHRISTMAS FROLIC The Student Council holds a Christmas dance on a night preceding the holidays. It established a precedent for unique entertainment on December 17, 1923, when the Student Councillors fostered the first affair that has now become a part of the Hilltop’s social tradition. A large and enthusiastic crowd thoroughly enjoyed the 1929 annual frolic in the College Gymnasium on December 18. Music was furnished by Whittinghill’s Straight-Eights; the Gym was beautifully hung with all the holiday trimmings, creating a very attractive Christmas atmosphere. The decorative scheme was most elaborately carried out according to the conventions of Yuletide. An immense tree appropriately decorated occupied the center of the floor. From its apex red and green streamers were strung to the running track. Smaller trees were placed at intervals entirely around the edge of the dance floor. The dance was in charge of the following committees: Arrangements Committee, Art Peters, Ted Scharpf and Vivian Burr; Finance Committee, Bill McMahon, Edgar Baum and John Good; Decorations Committee, John Kopp, Tom Conran, Jerry Gunigal, Ted Cooney, Walter Mack, Albert Flannigan and John Sullivan. lJaf e one hundred twenty ATHLETICS Page one hundred twenty-one F.

Nolan, Yund (coach) slTHEETIC RETROSPECT Athletics received little attention on Capitol Hill prior to the school year of 1911-1912. Before this year, all attention had been centered about the building of the school and the building of the school curriculum. However, during the scholastic year 1911-1912, having in mind that it takes a healthy body to make a healthy and active mind, new, as well as added interest, marked the climb of the Saint Charles athletic department. It was only natural that the little College should adopt the athletic pursuits and interests of its environment. At this time, during the early years of the? College, the City of Helena placed a baseball team high in the Pacific Conference, of which Conference it was a member. In view of this, it was only natural that the College should early in its athletic life, become interested in baseball. While Mount St. Charles did not develop teams to equal the Helena teams of the time, still, these early teams, built largely by community suport, were of tremendous consequence in that they served in building a grand and noble spirit in athletics. This attitude once firmly embedded on Hilltop, athletics was to never retrace its steps but rather to Page one hundred twenty-two ever go onward. Basketball, too, was an early interest of the College and gained a far greater hold than had any other sport. This was largely due. no doubt, to the fact that basketball is a sport that ever appeals to the small city and to the small college. The early St. Charles squads, in most cases were green and inexperienced and there was little financial backing to send the teams abroad in search of collegiate competition of equal strength. In consequence, the early squads were forced to play local teams and the numerous high schools of the state. One of the outstanding characteristics of early athletics at Mount St. Charles College was the spasmodic nature of appearance of certain sports. True, once established, the major sports never ceased to be played; still, participation was often in the form of intramural athletics. This, of course branded the sports so conducted, as periodical, at least from a public point of view. Baseball, due largely to the fact that it is primarily not a college or university sport, its nature and period of greatest activity making it so. came to be known as the most periodical of all sports at the College. Some years saw very good teams in the field, as for instance the baseball nine of the Spring of 1921; on other years, baseball was altogether neglected. Basketball ever gained prominence in and about the College and stands as the first sport to carry the name of Mount St. Charles College to other school camps. Basketball, once the College added its gymnasium, (for the early teams were handicaped in that they were forced to use the various gymnasiums of the community), was the first sport to prove of major importance and to become a success at St. Charles. However, basketball, baseball, tennis, and even track are not sports that are primarily and best adapted to the building of a college or university athletic department. The greatest of all college sports, the sport that is particularly and primarily a college sport is football, and not until football became a prominent athletic pursuit did the name of St. Charles grow in the common eye. in the popular extra-curricular sense. Early accounts state that a football squad in the year 1911-1912 lined up for practice late in October of 1911. It would seem that the short Montana season coupled with a late start in practice spelled a brief appearance for football in that year. However, the squad of 1911-1912 did engage the local city high school in a two-game series, resulting, one game in a tie and the other in the favor of the College by a small margin. The squad of 1911-1912 was most significant, however, in that it marked the beginning of a series of football teams that has continued to the present day, which series of teams has had a progress both steady anil firm. The football squads of early years were small and inexperienced, there was little financial support, and so, the early football teams, like the early basketball teams, were forced to compete with the high schools of the state. Puyc one hundred twenty-three Iii view of the fact that the early schedules were not strictly collegiate, it is most logical to begin a detailed account of athletic schedules, in the major sports, with that time when the teams of Mount St. Charles, earlier basketball and football squads, mention will be made only as to personnel; the later athletic records will be more in detail. 1913-1914 SEASON FOOTBALL SQUAD: J.

Eaton, LL.B., was appointed director of athletics at the College in 1926. He has been coach of all the Varsity teams. Coach Eaton comes to Hilltop from Notre Dame at South Bend. Ind.. where he received his degree in 1924. In 1922 he played basketball at Notre Dame and became a member of the Varsity track team. In 1921 he played end on the famous Notre Dame championship eleven along with the renouned ‘‘Four Horsemen.” Followers of the gridiron will remember that it was the forward passes from Crowley to Eaton that were accountable for many of the South Bend team's victories. In 1924, Eaton acted as chief football scout for Knute Rockne, and was credited with being the most accomplish-Wilbur S.

A wonderful record which read four victories, one tie. and one game lost, all games with notable teams, was an achievement that any institution might well be proud. While Mount St. Charles, and the City of Helena was indeed proud of the “Fighting Saints” and while the College student body and the College backers never hushed in their praise of the 1927-1928 squad and its work, still, the most significant praise, and the sweetest medicine came from the tongue and pen of men of other camps and men of importance who were not particularly interested in St. Charles more than in any other school. It is altogether fitting that we speak what others have said and thought rather than what we have thought of the team. Over the radio at Shenandoah, Iowa, word was broadcasted that Helena was the Capital City of Montana and that Helena was the home of the “Fighting Saints.” and Mount St. Charles, a school with an “honest to God football team.” The Seattle Post Intelligencer said: The Montana Team had class. There is another side to the 6-6 game at Pullman that probably hasn’t been given enough consideration. That is the fact that Mount St. Charles had a football team on Rogers field last Saturday—and was not awed in the least by facing a team that finished near the top in the Pacific Coast race last season. “I’ve seen a lot of Pacific Coast teams that would Page one hundred twenty-nine have been trimmed by Mount St. Charles,” said Sutton. “Why, say, when the Cougars had the ball on the one-foot line with two downs to put it over, the Saints just naturally squared away and pushed them back to stave off defeat.” Evergreen (Washington State College)—“It was a moral victory for the Montanans. The first quarter was clearly a Mount St. Charles affair with the Easterners skirting the ends, and bucking the line for gain after gain.” Billings Gazette—“Rampaging Saints to take on Dillon with Second String Lads.” The Missoulian—“Saints played splendid football against Washington's veterans.” says Steward (Athletic Director, U. of Montana) . . . . “Sounding signals like the crack of a whip, they flashed through the Cougars’ line, passed over their heads—pulled an end run—for a touchdown. Washington, stopped with ten inches to go for a touchdown and four inches for a first down, with Meeker trying to make a plunge through center. ‘Butch’, who had snapped his fingers in scorn at the Saints before the game, could not make the four inches—It (the Saints’ team) ran like a well-oiled motor, grinding out play after play without hesitation or effort.” Helena Record-Herald—“Saint Charles Trims Gonzaga 21-0. Helena college outfights its Spokane rival to win a brilliant victory on the Butte field—when he was bumped too hard by the Fighting Saints—with both teams fighting like wild Irishmen at a County Cork picnic—team functioned like a well-oiled machine.” The Helena Independent—“St. Charles Overwhelms Gonzaga Bulldogs in Hot 21-0 Tilt. Dope upset in furious grid battle. A fighting bunch of St. Charles gridmen turned in a complete victory—today by a score of 21-0 in one of the best games played on the grid that season.” J. F. Pewters (Great Northern Railway Official)—“I was proud of the wonderful showing made by our little College football team against the strong Cougar eleven—The Saint Charles team not only made a wonderful showing but advertises the City of Helena throughout the Inland Empire.” Butte Miner—“The day was ideal, the game a treat, the result a pleasant surprise.” Football Squad: J.

Burr has an enviable athletic record. 1928 marked Captain Burr’s third year on the end berth of the Varsity squad. He had made the all-state team both years previous. Burr’s playing has always been consistent, no team yet being able to gain through his position. He was always down on punts proving a menace to every receiver whom he faced. As well as being a bulwark of defense, he also proved his worth as an inter-ferer, his opponents finding him a tough man to slide past. 1928-1929 SEASON After a glorious year in 1927, the Saints came back in 1928 to play a very heavy schedule and write a record that was even more impressive than the year previous. Defeating the best teams in three states, the Hilltoppers claim a tri-state championship in football for the season. The season was opened with a overwhelming defeat of the Centerville Independents followed by a similar victory over the Butte Hubs. After winning a ragged game from the Anaconda Anodes, the Saints squad journeyed to Chad run, Nebraska, where the Saints won a hard-fought 13-0 game with the Chadron Normal. At Helena, on Homecoming Day, the Saints fought a bitter battle with the Gonzaga Bulldogs from Spokane. The enraged Bulldogs were determined to revenge the defeat of 1927 and the Saints were equally determined that Gonzaga should be defeated twice in a row. It was either teams game until the final whistle closed the frantic tussle with a 12-18 score in favor of the Bulldogs. The Hilltop crew next won an easy game with the Montana State School of Mines taking the long end of a 51-0 score. Another easy game was played with Intermountain Union College resulting in a 71-0 score. The game with the University of North Dakota (North and South Dakota Champs) was another bitter grapple fought on the Great Falls gridiron on November 17. The Nodaks were the favored team and carried a great, advantage in weight but to no avail when pitched against the smooth-working Saints Par c otic hundred thirty two team. In a demonstration as to just how perfect and smooth eleven men can work to a common purpose and aim, the Saint Charles team won the day with a 20-12 score. Journeying to Sheridan. Wyoming, the Saints did battle with the Montana State College team to win a clever 19-0 battle and to return to a great Christmas festival and Monogram banquet on Hilltop with the championship pelt of the third state. It was a great year and the College, under the guidance of Coach Wilbur S. Raton, placed a brilliant football team in the field. Football Squad: G. Link. E. Murtha. X. Thornburg. T. Word. W.

Allen Murphy succeeded Vivian Burr to lead the Blue and Gold gridmen. When elected captain, Murphy had completed his third year as a regular member of the Fighting Saint squadron being a guard of excellent ability and having the reputation of giving one of the best linemen of the Northwest the severest drubbing of his life. Captain Murphy always was a stonewall of defense and an irresistible pile driver on offense. For this reason he has been awarded a place on practically all of the mythical all-state elevens. 1930 BASKETBALL CAPTAIN Charles “Chick” Garner of Pocatello, Idaho was captain of the 1930 Varsity basketball squad. He filled the shoes of Bill Gross who hails from the same town and who successfully captained the Blue and Gold Hoopsters through the 1929 season. “Chick” has held a berth on the College squad for three seasons proving himself a flashy and reliable forward.

The season might well be called a success in that the Saints stood up well against some of the most formidable teams of the West, often times piling up a better scrimmage than their opponents who won the game. The season was discouraging in that the fans, thrilled with a long line of victories during the two previous years, were forced to habitually take the short end of the score. On paper, the Saint Charles squad of 1929-1930 did not look as good as it really was. Off to a very bad start in the game with the Montana State University at Missoula on September 28. where the Saints played slow and poor ball to loose 19-0, the Hilltoppers remained off their feet for a great part of the season. On October 5. the Fighting Saints were overwhelmingly defeated by the Washington State Cougars at Pullman to the tune of 38-0. The Saints were again a shadow of their more noble selves in the game with Regis at Butte on October 12, where they outplayed and out-scrimmaged the Rangers only to loose a thrilling game by a score of 13-6. It was a splendid game and the Hilltop backers were content and pleased in that the Saints were again showing that they knew football. At Chadron. Nebraska, the Fighting Saints lost a close game to the Chadron Normal, the score being 14-6. On Homecoming Day, November 9. Saint Charles defeated the heavy North Dakota Bison by the score 6-7. The game was far more a Saints affair than the score would indicate and fans in gen- Page one hundred thirty-xi.r eral were happy to forget past defeats and glory in a victory of the old Eaton-School style. The Saint Charles squad then played an easy game with Intermountain and closed the season at Great Falls on November 28 where the Montana State Bobcats nosed out the Saints to cinch the football crown of the state for the year. As had been their fate often during the season, the Saints out-played the Bobcats in scrimmage two to one but failed just when a gain would have amounted to so much. During a great part of the game, the State College team was on the defensive but a costly fumble enabled the Bobcats to grasp the victory. Football Squad: S. Smith. F. O’Connor, H. Hickam, T.

JUNIOR SAINTS 1930 Although the Mount St. Charles Academy is not represented in The Pioneer, it does not go amiss to mention a salutary feature of its athletic program. The 1930 Junior Saints, coached by College Senior John Good, represented Mount St. Charles at the Montana State Basketball Tournament last season which emphasized the wholesome and magnanimous rivalry in athletic competition between Montana secondary institutions. The Junior Saints copped sixth place in the tourney. Payc one hundred forty-one Dr. J. M. Flinn A graduate of Mount St. Charles, Dr. James M.

Then, too, it is an experiment that is paid for by increased maintenances, costly repairs, and expensive replacements. Crane engineers have studied this problem.
