The 1947 Hilltopper The “Hilltop” Published by the Students of Carroll College HELENA, MONTANA bedicrUiost To the alumni who so fully took to heart the Carroll ideals of Courage and Honor that they gave their life's blood for their country in World War II, this annual is reverently dedicated.

Winter, '41 tf-OA w id Seventeen years ago this Spring Carroll published its first annual, The Pioneer. Because there was a popular demand for a more appropriate title, HILLTOPPER, a word rich in Carroll tradition, was chosen for this year's annual. The site selected for Carroll College was originally contemplated as the location of the State Capitol, and had been called Capitol Hill. In fact, the college acquired for a short interval the title of Capitol Hill College. During the years, too, Carroll's athletic teams have frequently been referred to as the Hilltoppers. Besides a change in the name of the yearbook many other changes have occurred on the Hilltop. To pass on to you some of these now loaturos, an well as some of the more traditional ones, has boon the aim of this y« it ii HOltoppor. Retsvbifwct Seventeen years have passed since the publication of a yearbook at Carroll. It is fitting, therefore, to chronicle here the chief events recorded in THE PROSPECTOR, the Carroll monthly publication, during that interval. ACCREDITATION—Noteworthy was the announcement on March 24, 1932, of the fact that Carroll (then known as Mt. St. Charles), had been elevated to the rank of a senior four-year college by the North Central Association at its annual meeting. The college had been on the junior college listing of the Association since 1922. CHANGE OF NAME--By one of his last official acts, the third Bishop of Helena. George J. Finnigan, changed the name of Mount St. Charles College to Carroll College. The change was made in honor of her illustrious founder, John P. Carroll, second bishop of Helena. The change officially took place on Sunday, May 29, 1932, with the twenty-second commencement exercises. EARTHQUAKES—Earthquakes struck Helena in the fall of 1935, causing city-wide damage. In the two major shocks, which struck on October 18 and 31, Carroll itself suffered approximately $12,000 in damage, mainly to stone gables, cornices, and plaster walls. The disaster necessitated the dismissal of classes until November 11, 1935. By November 4. 1936, earthquake damage to the building had been completely repaired. OBSERVATORY—An astronomical observatory on the south slope of the college campus was built by the students in 1937 to house a telescope designed and constructed by them at the college under the supervision of Dr. Edward Neuman. C.P.T. PROGRAM -Carroll was approved for participation in the Civilian Pilot Training program of the Civil Aeronautics Administration on September 29, 1939. Dr. Edward Neuman was Coordinator of the program. On November 17, 1939, aviation students began training under the program, taking their flight instruction from the Morrison Flying Service at the Helena Airport. ACADEMIC RECOGNITION —Further academic recognition of the College was received on November 14. 1939. Dr. Roy J. Defarrari. secretary general of the Catholic University of America, announced that the academic senate of the University had voted to affiliate Carroll as a senior college with the Catholic University. On April 2, 1940, Dr. Anselm M. Keefe, secretary of the National Catholic Educational Association, advised that Carroll had been accepted by the Association as a member with complete senior college rating. Carroll College was awarded the Gamma chapter of Delta Epsilon Sigma, national Catholic honor so ciety, on April 25, 1940. GROTTO—On May 24. 1942. at impressive ceremonies, the Grotto of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the north side of the campus was formally dedicated. Originally the idea of Bishop Finnigan, the work of construction was begun in 1934 by Rev. Matthias Weber. Work then ceased until 1939 when it was resumed by Rev. John F. Cronin and Coach Ed Simonich. Above right: C.A.A. Aviation Class. 1940. Right: Navy V-5 Cadets, 1943. THE WAR YEARS This next section oi the retrospect might well be called Carroll Goes to War. tor that is just what Carroll did. Her history during this period represents activity aimed essentially at the war effort through training of civilian pilots, naval aviation cadets, and naval bluejackets. AIR TRAINING PROGRAM—The first wartime change noted at Carroll College was the conversion of the Civilian Pilot Training program into a military operation under the Civil Aeronautics Administration War Training Service in the summer of 1942. Trainees under this program were army and navy enlisted personnel and they were housed and fed at the college. Originally this program was intended to initiate the training of pilots for glider, service, and ferry duty in the Army and for combat duty in the Navy. The training of army personnel was terminated in January. 1943, but the training of navy pilots under the Navy V-S program continued until August 1944. Under these various programs Carroll trained 127 civilian pilots, 38 army pilots, and 550 navy V-5 pilots. ACCELERATED COURSE- -In accord with wartime training schedules, the Board of Studies on February 26, 1942, adopted an accelerated program. Under the specifications of this schedule, beginning June 7, 1943. Carroll offered annually three sixteen-week semesters. In addition to this, the Board adopted a policy of admitting high school juniors to college status provided they could show a standing in the top third of their high school class. V-12 PROGRAM—The culminating point of Carroll's wartime program was reached on April 30, 1943, when Very Rev. Emmet J. Riley, president of the College, announced that Carroll had been accepted by the Navy Department as a V-12 training school. The program offered was designed to train Naval officer candidates for the Navy Air Corps, Civil Engineer Corps, Construction Corps, Supply Corps, and Chaplain Corps, and to prepare Deck Officers for general Navy duty. On July 1, 1943, Carroll admitted its first group of V-12 trainees. With the departure of the final group of bluejackets on October 24, 1945, and the formal decommissioning of the navy unit on the Hilltop, Carroll finished its war-time task of instructing 704 V-12 trainees. RETURN OF CIVILIANS The end of the war brought the school back to full civilian status on November 3, 1945. A small group of civilian students was registered on July 1, 1945; however. Carroll's first all-civilian post-war student body, consisting largely of former servicemen, was enrolled on November 1, 1945. NEW FEATURES—The fall semester of 1946 witnessed a further innovation in the educational system on the Hilltop when a Department of Nursing Education was inaugurated. Carroll will grant degrees in Nursing Education to its first women graduates. Among the other changes at Carroll attending the war's end was the en- rollment of a large number of married veterans, twenty-five of whom are being housed in Carroll Village. The Village is made up of Federally-constructed housing units and the ''Faculty Club,'’ formerly a faculty residence hall during the Navy stay at Carroll. V-12 Trainees, 1943.

We graduates of 1947 can lay claim to at least one distinction. We have spent more time between our Freshman and Senior years than any other graduating class in the history ol Carroll. This lengthy college career was not due, however, to any failure on our part. We barely got started with college life when along came World War II. . . We members ol the Class of '47 were well represented in the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Corps. . . . But now the long-dreamed-of day is at hand. . . . Nearly all of us are headed for careers in the field of medicine. . . . These last few months have been busy ones: writing theses, preparing for comprehensives, applying to medical schools (how can we forget?). . . . Then to keep us from getting too book-minded, there were dances (the Pre-Med Ball being an unforgettable event) and the Junior-Senior Banquet. . . . The Big Day is at hand; with a deep sense of gratitude to the faculty and all who helped make this occasion possible, we can say that our years here were both enjoyable and fruitful. LOUIS G.

Carroll College enrolled its first class of young women in the newly organized Department of Nursing Education. The department, which is conducted in cooperation with the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, Kansas, began the year with a class of 35 students, 31 in the basic Pre-Clinical course and four graduate nurses working toward a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing Education. . . . The nursing students enjoyed a year of strenuous classroom and laboratory activity relieved by a well-organized social program, which included their taking an active share in the majority of the traditional activities and organizations of the campus. The nurses were housed at Immaculata Hall at St. John’s Hospital, and were transported to and from the college for classes by bus. SYLVIA A. MALENCIK. R. N............Helper. Utah ROSALEEN O. MULLEN.

The student governing body is comprised of four elected representatives from all four classes; officers of the council are chosen from among the senior class representatives. Although lacking a standard to follow because of the Council's inactivity during the war period, this year's council succeeded in its functions of developing a unified student body, integrating campus organizations, and furthering closer relationships between faculty and students. Under its president, Logan Rogers, the council deserves credit for sponsoring several formal and informal dances during the year, staging assemblies and pep rallies, reviving the traditional Campus Day, and publishing the PROSPECTOR. The Council was also instrumental in publishing this year's edition of The H1LLTOPPER. On February 27, Carroll was affiliated with the National Federation of Catholic College Students. The purpose of the NFCCS is to unite Catholic college students on a national level and to represent Catholic colleges in international life. Under the direction of Rev. James R. DeGroat, faculty moderator of the Carroll unit of the federation, the organization took up a special collection for the relief of students in the war-stricken countries of Europe.

Kavanagh Gamma chapter of DELTA EPSILON SIGMA, National Catholic honor society, in April, 1940. The association was organized officially in April, 1939, and Carroll became the third college to be accepted as a member. The purpose of the society is to give recognition and encouragement to high scholarship among the students Edward W. Neuman Custer C. Baum and graduates of Catholic colleges and universities. Membership of the chapter includes students who are within one year of graduation and who are devoting their work to the liberal arts, alumni members who have made contributions in the fields of humane sciences and letters or by works of pure literature, and associate members. During the past year four new members, including one student and three alumni, have been awarded membership in the Gamma chapter of the society. Announcement of this year's awards and the presentation of the official key of Delta Epsilon Sigma were made at the special awards assembly on May 23. The four new members to the society brings the total membership of Carroll's Gamma chapter to nineteen, ten of whom were named while students, and nine alumni.

Throughout the years of Carroll's history, the Chapel has been the center around which all college activities have revolved. Most of the religious activities are optional, and on this basis there is a well-established tradition of daily Mass, Communion, and Rosary, and weekly Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Monthly Nocturnal Adoration in honor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to whom the diocese is consecrated, has this year given further impetus to the students' spiritual life. The year is highlighted by religious observances planned to vitalize, and to spiritualize, both the study and the recreation of the students. Pre-eminent among these are the annual retreats; one for the college men at St. Charles Chapel; one for the nurse students held at Immaculata Hall. Rev. Matthias A.

More than fifty Carroll students and faculty members were active supporters of this con cert series. The diversified programs afforded the music lover a wide presentation of the classics and semi-classical favorites. In addition to the artists portrayed on this page, the Concert series included Rose Bampton, famed dramatic soprano, and a choral group which presented, A Night In Old Vienna , a superb rendition of popular Strauss compositions. Draper and Adler Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra Maribelh Reinig Two young Montcfna artists, Miss Mary Lou Connors, lyric soprano. and Miss Margaret Mullen, pianist, entertained the Faculty and Student Body with a delightful concert presented in the College Auditorium on February 17.

Miss Reinig's sincere presentation of “Can-tique de Noel'' was the highlight of the program. AMMnAli i Assemblies — some serious, others of a lighter nature—were a welcome diversion from class and laboratory. On the serious side, two outstanding speakers addressed the students and faculty. Rev. Vincent C. Donovan, O.P., internationally known preacher and liturgist, lectured on February 5. Mrs. Anna M.

Hunthausen, a standout in athletics at Anaconda High School prior to entering college, led Carroll scorers on the basketball court in 1947 with 237 points and was chosen the outstanding player in the Montana Small College Conference. Spring practice has revealed that Coach Freel can count on him as a triple-threat back in the coming football season. Jack is also the school's best when it comes to pole vault. Voters in the contest were asked to consider the following requisites in making their choice: enthusiasm, sportsmanship, team spirit, cooperation, athletic ability, and accomplishments.

With the appointment in March, 1946, of Russell David Freel, former football and basketball star of Loyola University, New Orleans, as Athletic Director, Carroll sports, on a conference-basis, were resumed after a war-time lapse. Freel began his new duties on the Hilltop the following September, and although the Montana Collegiate Conference did not schedule a football program for the 1946 season, a complete basketball schedule was arranged by conference members. Renewed emphasis on athletics, especially basketball, became apparent shortly after the opening of school in the Fall. Eighteen teams took part in a pre-season tournament, which served as a proving ground for talent. At the close of the tournament Freel picked his 1946-47 squad, consisting of four pre-war lettermen, four members of the previous year's Freshman team, and six freshmen for his varsity lineup. During his first season at Carroll, Coach Freel brought his basketball squad to second place position in the Montana Collegiate Conference and threatened to take the championship until a season-end slump gave top honors to Montana School of Mines. In games with the School of Mines, Billings Polytechnic, Eastern Normal, Northern Montana College, and Montana Normal, Carroll totaled eleven wins and four losses. Against stronger opposition from Idaho, the Saints were v inless in seven games, losing two to Lewiston Normal, four to Ricks College, and one to Idaho Southern Branch. In twenty-two games played the Fighting Saints scored 1,032 points to their opponents' 1,079 and averaged 47 points a game.

The meet was won by the Juniors, who amassed 39 points to the Seniors 23. Freshmen 14Vi, and Sophomores 13l 2. Outstanding performances were noted in several of the events. Junior Joe Niece proved that he was still a great high jumper by winning the event with a jump of 5'6 . Niece was a versatile track man on Carroll's 1940 team. Senior Logan Rogers was high point man of the meet with wins in the broad jump, the javelin, and the 100-yard dash. He won the broad jump with a leap of 19 11 , 4 Edgar Lazo. Junior, dominated the distance runs with wins in the 440. 880. and the mile run. Southall Approximately fifty students took part in the spring intramural softball tournament, the final step of Athletic Director Russell Freel's successful intramural sports program for the season. Four teams took part in the tourney which was won by the Cloverleafs, who in turn were followed by the Butte Rats, the Dirty Sox, and the Towntalkers. Freel’s intramural program started in September with a touch football tournament in which one hundred and twenty-five students, making up thirteen teams, took part. Following the football battles. Freel turned his attention to basketball, and a tournament which was the proving grounds of Freel's varsity cage squad drew one hundred and forty-four basketeers, divided into 18 teams. This competition continued throughout the basketball season and was concluded in March. With the coming of spring attention turned to outdoor sports and golf, hand-ball, and tennis, for which facilities are in easy walking distance of the college, became popular. These sports, along with Freel's spring football workouts and a successful inter-class track meet, gave all Carroll students the opportunity of keeping physically fit throughout the year.

Besides his high ranking in the 1947 state meet Combo won the Carroll handball tournament in 1946, reached the semifinals in the consolation bracket in the state meet in 1946, and placed third in the Helena city meet in 1947. Many Carroll handball enthusiasts took advantage of the facilities on the campus and the uptown courts during the year.

Under the direction of Coach Russell Freel, varsity football will be resumed on the Hilltop in September of this year after a six-year lay-off. The groundwork for the fall football team was laid this spring in two months of workout that was culminated with the annual Blue-Gold football game, held at Scullon field, May 10. Forty-five students answered Freel’s first call for candidates in April, and this number was cut to thirty for the annual tussle. The Blue-Gold game, won by the Blue, 13-6, in a bruising but thrilling contest, gave plenty of indication that the 1947 Hilltoppers will add to the unbroken string of eleven victories which was piled up by the 1940-41 Saints before football competition was discontinued. It looks like Carroll will not be lacking football material. Bfuvdi (letno pject,1930-1946 The purpose of the following paragraphs is to give a summary of intercollegiate sports, chiefly football and basketball, since the publication of the last Annual in 1930. Wilber Eaton, who came to the College from Notre Dame in 1926 and achieved great success in both football and basketball, won the football championship of the Treasure State in 1928. He remained on the faculty as Director of Athletics until his departure from the College in 1931. In the autumn of 1931, William Jones, likewise from Notre Dame, succeeded Eaton as Director of Athletics. He was assisted by Johnny Good of Butte as backfield coach. Completing the season undefeated, untied, and unscored on, Jones' Blue and Gold Gridders achieved their greatest triumph on Armistice Day, 1931, when they defeated Montana State at Helena and won the State Championship. In 1932 Jones had another strong team, which lost only two games during the season, one to Montana University and the other to Montana State, each by one touchdown. Johnny Good coached the 1931-32 basketball team. Losing only to the Montana State Bobcats and winning 8 out of 9 games. Good's team had an excellent season. Sid Smith of Philipsburg, assisted by Alan Murphy of Whitehall, directed the 1932-33 basketball team, which won its greatest victory of the year on January 23, 1933, by defeating the University of Montana 39 to 34. As a result of the depression, a new athletic policy was outlined for the College in September. 1933, when intercollegiate athletics were discontinued. Alan Murphy, former assistant coach to William B. Jones, was appointed full-time director of intramural athletics. In November of the same year, Ted Cooney of Canyon Ferry was appointed assistant to Murphy to conduct classes in wrestling. In 1934 A1 Donich of Deer Lodge, star tackle under Eaton and Jones, was placed in charge of intramural sports and the physical education program. In December of 1935 the Carroll team resumed intercollegiate basketball under Coach Donich and entered into competition with the teams of the Montana Collegiate Conference. Upper Right: 1931 Championship team. Right: 1941 Championship team. From 1936-39 Charles Gamer of Pocatello. Idaho, was in charge of the athletic program of the College. The Saints returned to intercollegiate competition in football in 1937. Although not producing outstanding teams, both Donich and Garner had hard-fighting aggregations. V-5’s and V-l2‘s on Obstacle Course. Carroll's victories were achieved not only in football and basketball but also in boxing. When Jim Walsh of Butte knocked out Bob Weldet of Great Falls in one of the feature fights of the Stockgrowers' convention card at the Shrine Temple May 19, 1938, the Car-roll pugilists closed a successful boxing season. During the year, the Carroll fighters participated in four tournaments and gained many admirers for showmanship and clean fighting. Much of the credit went to Father John F. Cronin, who devoted much time to the training and instruction of the boxers. Outstanding man on Father Cronin's team was Charles Harrell of Helena, who won the 160-pound title in the Silver Gloves tourney held in January. 1938, at Helena and who repeated in the Golden Gloves tourney, March 13 of the same year, when he defeated Johnny Gayer of Great Falls. In 1939 Ed Simonich, another Notre Dame alumnus, was appointed Director of Athletics. After a fair football season in that year, the Saints regained their Montana Small College football crown in 1940 with a hard-fought victory over Montana School of Mines. In 1941 the Saints completed the football season undefeated and unscored on. A single scoreless tie with South Dakota School of Mines was the only blemish on the record. Simonich set a high standard likewise in basketball. In 1943 with only three defeats in twelve games, the Fighting Saints won the Montana Collegiate Conference Championship. At the Sports Carnival held at Billings on May 10, 1940, the Carroll track squad, directed by Simonich. tied for first place with Montana Normal. Joe Niece, scoring seventeen points, was the high-point man of the meet. Because of unsettled conditions brought on by the war. intercollegiate football was discontinued after the 1941 season. After the advent of the Navy V-12 to the college in 1943, Simonich produced another state champion basketball team in 1944, which won 10 out of 12 games, including two from the Montana University Grizzlies. When Simonich left the college in 1944, Chiefs J. J. Bostick and J. J. Mc-Shane of the Navy directed the Carroll team to the state service team championship and to a tie with the Montana School of Mines for the college laurels. With the departure of the Navy, Father Patrick Murray coached the 1946 basketball team. Although the team consisted only of freshmen and v on only 3 out of 11 games, the Blue and Gold averaged 55 points a contest.
