J., Regent of the School of Law and of the College of Commerce, Finance and Journalism, was also assigned this year to the task of Chairman of the Jubilee Committee, which he accomplished in a very success- ful manner. REV. THOMAS A. EGAN, S. J. [23] ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS REV. J. A. HERBERS, S. J. MISS CLARE McDERMOTT Rev. J. A. Herbers, S. J., has been Dean or Men since his coming to Creighton in the summer of 1926. Previous to this lime he was a member of the Faculty of St. Mary ' s College, Kansas. As Dean of Men, Father Herbers is the direct medium in all affairs between the stu- dent body and the Faculty, and is Fac- ulty advisor in all student undertakings. Miss Clare McDermott, University Reg- istrar, has been connected with Creighton since the summer cf 1919, when she was appointed as Assistant to the Director of the Summer Session. She held this po- sition until August, 1926, when she was made full time Assistant in the office of the Registrar. She was appointed Regis- trar upon the resignation of Mr. B. A. Kennedy on October 1, 1928. Sff [24] rKr £ ADMINISTRATIVE BOARD Rev. A. F. X. Esterman, S. J., has served Creighton University as Treasurer since the summer cf 1924.

With the exception of two years spent in France with the American Expeditionary Forces Father Corboy has been at Creighton ever since. 57 REV. A. F. X. ESTERMAN, S. J. REV. WILLIAM H. CORBOY, S. J. [25] [26] St. gobn ' s Wall St. John ' s Hall has been a familiar landmark of the University for the past three decades, having been erected in 1900 for the purpose of taking care of those men from outside of the city. It has accommodations for over one hundred boys, but that is far from being suffi- cient, as the need for more dormitories has long been felt. Familiarly known as the Beanery ever since its exist- ence, it has been more than a mere landmark, but has become a real tradition of Creighton. The Hall at present is being conducted under the direc- tion of Father Eugene P. Mullaney, S. J., who has always been highly efficient in coping with the influx of freshmen each September. FATHER MULLANEY (f rmA THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES % =J , Ttf VEL REV. JOSEPH C. FLYNN, S. J. THE DEAN The Rev. Joseph C. Flynn, S. J., Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, has served in this capacity for the past three years. THE BUILDING The Arts College, first of the University group, was established in 1878. It was the first of the many benefactions of the Creighton family. The original building is still standing, and comprises the middle section of the present College of Arts and Sciences. With subsequent growth it now contains the Offices of Admin- istration, the home of the Jesuit Faculty, the Creighton University High School, and the Arts College. Besides the numerous recitation rooms the building also includes well-equipped laboratories for the departments of Physics and Chemistry, along with a spacious reading and reference room in connection with the Univer- sity Library. mBm £ 5W [28 1 THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES PHYSICS LABORATORY, COLLEGE OF ARTS THE COLLEGE The College of Arts and Sciences is considered as the hub of the University, as it is here that each freshman is introduced into the first phases of his college work. The course of study here is both of a graduate and a preparatory nature; here the freshmen and sophomores are given a general course of study before they are sent to the different professional schools for further work. Others who may wish to go on from here in the College of Arts have the opportunity of the four-year Arts Course. Subjects dealt with and their respective depart- ment heads are as follows: Astronomy, Rev. W. C. Doyle, S. J.; Bibliography, Lucille Reynolds; Biology, Mr. Leo P. Clement; Chemistry, Rev. John A. Krance, S. J.; Ancient Classics, Rev. George R. Prendergast, S. J.; Education, Dr. Ernest A. Weinke and Mr. John J. Donovan; English, Rev. Francis X. Reilly, S. J.; History, Rev. Alfred Kaufmann, S.

FRANK CEJDA President Senior Class fiil [29] THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES TO THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY The University Library, located in the Administration building, contains about 50,000 vol- umes, besides numerous current publications and source books. The card index system main- tained by this department is available for the use of the student on any day of the school year except Sundays, Saturday afternoons, and regular University holidays. A large reference and study room is maintained in the Library. Miss Reynolds, the University Librarian, and her able staff of assistants are to be congratulated on the excellent service this department has rendered to the student body during the past year. [30] THE COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES THE OBSERVATORY The Astronomical Observatory is located in an advantageous part of the Arts College campus, where it commands an unusually extensive sky. It is equipped with a five-inch equatorial, a three-inch transit, a portable transit, a micrometer, and an extensive library. Work in the Observatory is under the direction of Rev. W. C Doyle, S. J.

Com- pared with its initial enrollment a few years ago it has increased until the present year when over twenty Graduate degrees are being awarded. Acting Dean H. F. Fore came to Creighton at the beginning of the Fall term. Professor Fore is also head of the University English Department. He was educated at the University of Missouri and the University of Chicago. Previous to coming to Creighton he held the position of Professor of English at Mississippi A. and M. College and at Purdue and Chicago Universities. [32] B COLLEGE OF COMMERCE, FINANCE AND JOURNALISM TO FLOYD E. WALSH Mr. Floyd E. Walsh, Dean of the College of Commerce, Finance and Journalism, came to Creighton University in September, 1926. He received both his B. S. C. and Master ' s degrees from the University of Iowa, and took grad- uate work at Columbia University. For some time before joining the Creighton faculty, Dean Walsh was instructor of accounting at Iowa. The College cf Commerce, Finance and Journalism was opened September 20, 1920, to meet the demand for training in the fields of business and journalism. A general cultural background is given in the first two years, and opportunities for specialization in the last two years. Upon completion of the four-year course, the degree cf Bachelor of Science in Com- merce is conferred. Professor John P. Begley, in- structor of accounting and finance in the college, who was graduated in 1924, received the first Commerce degree conferred by Creighton University. The Rev. Thomas A. Egan, S.

HIPPLE Thirty-three years in service at Creighton University is the record of Dean A. H. Hippie. Starting with the chair of Oral Surgery at the Medical School in 1895, he continued in that capacity until 1905, at which time the Creighton Dental College was organized, having taken over what was then called the Omaha Dental College. Coming to the newly organized school in 1905, he occupied the chair of Operative Dentistry, and in 1908 was appointed Dean. [38] THE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY In 1920 the building which had been the home of the Dental College was sold, and the next year, under the able guidance of Father Cassilly, then regent of the Dental College, the present building was erected. Unbiased opinions have stated that the new building is the best arranged and equipped for its size in the United States. Over six hundred graduates have gone out from the Dental College since its organization, and the progress of the great majority in the professional world reflects the excellence of the train- ing they received during their college years. Many of the professors have given years of their lives in service to the University and stu- dents, and they declare that working with the students for so many years keeps them young in spirit and understanding. Dr. Charles F. Crowley has been with the Dental College since its organization, as has Dr. F. J. Despecher. Dr. C. E. Woodbury and Dr. E. H. Bruening have served since 1908, while EUGENE MURPHY ' ' President Senior Qlass [39] = THE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY TECHNICAL LABORATORY Dr. H. E. King has been a member of the faculty for fifteen years, Dr. M L King for fourteen years and Dr. F. J. Viner for ten years. Such long service gives deep understanding ct teaching and student problems, and results in that harmonious effort of the entire faculty which means much to the student.

TePOEL The Creighton School of Law is extremely fortunate in the caliber of its corps of learned preceptors, led by the Dean, L. J. TePoel. It may be truly said that every member of the Law teaching staff is outstanding in his particular field of endeavor, but this applies doubly to Dean TePoel, who is nationally recognized as an authority upon equity, constitutional law, and municipal corporations. Besides having served the city with his legal talents, he has at various times rendered aid to the Federal government. fiil [42] s THE SCHOOL OF LAW TO _ 0? THE MOOT COURT Nor is quality there confined to the dispensers of knowledge. Yearly the Creighton School or Law pours into the maelstrom of the world of jurisprudence an ever-increasing number of future legal luminaries. Despite a modest, humble beginning, the Law School has progressed prodigiously, until now the quality of its graduates is a by-word for legal perspicacity. Just one quarter of a century ago, the Law College was inaugurated with temporary head- quarters at the Medical College. Today, housed in a magnificent, well-equipped edifice, J. D. CUNNINGHAM President Senior Qlass [43] THE SCHOOL OF LAW F® THE LIBRARY it is keeping pace with the best in the country, having a Class A rating from the American Bar Association, and being a member of the Association of American Law schools. Its graduates are admitted to the Nebraska bar without examination. ARTHUR JOHNSON President Junior Qlctss J. H. LARKIN President Freshman Qlass £ [44] w s FACULTY THE SCHOOL OF LAW One of the outstanding features of the Law College is the Moot Court room. Here all forms are pleaded by students, with seniors as attorneys, juniors as witnesses, and freshmen as jurors. Members of the faculty preside- as judges. The students are familiarized with the proper method of conducting jury trials, and become acquainted with the various enigmatical phases of litigation. Creighton is one of the pioneers in the development of the practical side of legal training through the introduction of courses in moot court and legal bibliography. Creighton is perhaps best known for its Law Library. This library, ranked by many as with- out a peer in the country, contains over 28,000 volumes, comprising most of the American, English, and Canadian Reports, besides an extensive collection of the session laws, statutes, and periodicals of these countries. The School of Law endeavors to train the students in the origin, development, and scope of the law, and in addition to inculcate an ethical standard which demands strict adherence to the best traditions of the bar. As far as may be, the lawyer ' s attitude and the atmosphere of the court and office are given a prominent place in the instruction; the customary soporific viewpoints of the preparatory schools do not prevail. [45] J SCHOOL OF MEDICINE DR. H. VON W. SCHULTE Herman von W. Schulte, A. M., M. D., Dean of the Creighton Medical School, has been a member of the faculty since 1914, at first as Junior Dean, later as Dean. Dr. Schulte is Professor of Anatomy. l£a |Jgg|yj Tis,- ok £ [46] SCHOOL OF MEDICINE THE PEDIATRICS CONFERENCE In the year of the semi-centennial of the University it is interesting to look backward to the founding of one of its professional schools. Thirty-six years ago, on September 27, 1892, the John A. Creighton Medical College opened its doors to its first class. There were thirty- four matriculants, and the faculty list contained twenty names. In that year the first units of the Creighton Memorial St. Joseph ' s Hospital had been opened at Tenth and Castelar streets, and tho teaching facilities in that institution were permanently placed at the service of the faculty of the Medical School. The old hospital building at Twelfth and Mason streets was remodeled to afford temporary quarters for the School. The first announcement of the Medical College illustrates the state of medical education a generation ago and contains much to interest and gratify the Creighton men of today. Admis- sion was granted to graduates of a high school or academy, or failing this, by examination upon the ordinary branches of an English education. Graduates of other colleges were admitted upon paying the matriculation fee and a fee of $10.00 for all the privileges. The course was the conventional one of the time, three years of eight calendar months, but in the second bulletin of the school a fourth year is recommended, which thereafter became the re- quirement fpr graduation. This was a radical in- novation for a western school. The school has progressed from this beginning and has continued to be considerate of its students, solicitous to prepare them for the demands of general practice, and as it could, inculcate in them a spirit of inquiry and search for new truth and improved methods. It has sought also to lead them to discern the suffering patient, however in- teresting the case, and to keep bright in them the human tradition of the profession, that its motive WILLIAM DENDINGER ' ' President Senior Qlass £ [47] SCHOOL OF MEDICINE THE CLINIC of service might not be lost in the pursuit of learning and the acquisition of technical skill. A school of medicine is the result of the lives of those who have served it and worked in it, whether as student or teacher, investigator or executive. Of the many who have preceded us, but a few can be mentioned here. Dr. DeWitt C. Bryant, Secretary of the Faculty from the founda- tion and later Dean for nineteen years, now liv- ing and practicing in California, will long be re- membered at Creighton as a high-minded and skillful specialist, a wise executive, and a loyal friend to the many students who came under his instruction. To his administration belongs the early application of the X-ray to the study of human structure by Professor C. F. Crowley, and the beginning of the long-continued and fruitful investigations upon the architecture of bone by Professor James F. Foote. In the clinical departments high standards of in- struction and of proficiency in practice were es- tablished and maintained by A. W. Riley, B. F. Crummer, S. K. Spaulding and A. B. Somers in Medicine, and by W. J. Galbraith, H. P. Ham- JOHN COURTNEY llton ' T ' B Lacey and C C A1Us ° n in Surgefy ' President Junior Class ih M [48] ik SCHOOL OF MEDICINE THE HISTOLOGY LABORATORY The recognition in Nebraska of Obstetrics as a specialty owes much to C. Rosewater, and Orthopedics to J. P. Lord, to mention but a few of those whose aspirations and achievements are embodied in our traditions. We may also remember the third Dean of the School, Dr. A. L. Muirhead, a scholarly pro- fessor of Pharmacology, whose last paper upon his own fatal illness is part of the literature of Addison ' s Disease. One more name must be mentioned, Rev. W. P. Whelan, S. J., for twenty-four years Regent of the School of Medicine. A generation of Creighton men have known his personal kindli- ness, but few have known his untiring labors, his unflinching fortitude, his devoted efforts to maintain and improve the school and to serve all who strove faithfully to learn or teach within its walls.

The development of St. Joseph ' s Hospital, the recent affiliation with St. James Orphanage and St. Catherine ' s Hospital, enlarge and improve its clinical facilities, while gratifying progress in the scientifice work of the laboratories, competently manned and animated by a spirit of inquir y, sustains the balance of the curriculum. Participating en- thusiastically in the advance of the day, the School is proud to retain the old-time friendly relations between student and instructor, as being both learners in one of the greatest fields of human endeavor, the promotion of health and the kindly care of the sick and afflicted. JOHN GRIER President Sophomore Class [50] [51] COLLEGE OF PHARMACY HOWARD C. NEWTON Howard C. Newton, Ph. G., Dean of the College of Pharmacy, is at the present time serving his fifteenth year as Professor of Pharmacy. Under his direction the College has advanced rapidly to the fore, until today it tanks well up among the first five Colleges of Pharmacy in the United States. [52] COLLEGE OF PHARMACY THE DISPENSARY This is of special note because the College of Pharmacy is at present but twenty-four years of age. It is noted for the excellence of its curriculum, consequently students enroll each year from almost every state in the country. Its enrollment is such as to create enthusiasm, yet not too large to neglect the needs of the individual student. The faculy is composed of men actively engaged in pharmacy and pharmaceutical chemistry, are comparatively young and enthusiastic, and therefore have not lost the student ' s viewpoint. This means much to the student. J. C. SCHENCK President Junior Qlass [53] s i COLLEGE OF PHARMACY r sn CHEMISTRY LABORATORY The location of the College, adjoining the School of Medicine, makes possible a mutually valuable contact between students and faculty of both. The drug dispensing room compounds annually about ten thousand prescriptions, which are filled by the students, under supervision of instructors. This offers a variety of practical prescription experience seldom found else- where. At present, the alumni number nearly eight hundred, and are to be found successfully practic- ing in the professional fields of pharmacy, chemistry, and medicine. C J.

The School of Nursing has now completed its ninth year, and its growth since that time has been fostered by the active and sympathetic interest of the University as a whole, and par- ticularly by the School of Medicine.

Since being affiliated with Creighton University, particularly during the past two years, the time which a nurse spends during her training course is recognized as an equivalent of two years of college work, and with the addition of an extra two years the nurse may receive in addition to her Certificate in Nursing from the Hospital the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Creighton University.

Gharge to Seniors Graduates of Creighton University: To bring you to this hour when you stand at the gateway leading to the broad arena of independent life, the unselfish and the best efforts of many men and women have been expended. They have sup- plemented and directed your own endeavors to fit yourselves to achieve life ' s noblest successes. It has been a persuasion in the minds of those who have guided you that the correctness and comprehen- siveness of your views of life and the steadfastness of your wills in carrying out life ' s essential purposes are by far the most important elements of your educational equipment. If you cherish such cor- rect views of life and are loyal to such purposes you cannot fail to attain both happiness and success. Human life together with all its attended circumstances is a steward- ship from God. Life ' s chief purpose is to administer that stewardship in accord with God ' s known expectations. Those expectations were succinctly stated in the historic interview between Christ and the rich young man of Palestine who sought from Him a formula of success: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul and with all thy mind and thy neighbor as thyself. That formula cannot be improved upon. Cherish it devotedly. With a sacrificial loyalty fulfill its implied command faithfully to serve God, your Country, and your fellowman according to the gen- erosities of love and the demands of law. Keep this rule of life in- violate and it will keep you and will guide you unerringly and will bring you safely and happily to life ' s glorious end, Eternal Gladness. William H. Agnew, S. J.

DELEHANT Attorney at Law, Beatrice, Nebraska John W. Delehant, A. B., 1910; LL. B., 1913, practicing attorney in Beatrice, Nebraska, was the principal speaker at the annual Homecoming Banquet, held last fall. Mr. Delehant ' s speech was very much in keeping with the event itself, and also in keeping with the entrance of Creighton into its second half century of existence. In his speech Mr. Delehant brought out the fact that Creighton needs and deserves the in- dividual lives of her many sons as testimonials of her worth, and that every alumnus should bear in mind, with a keen sense of responsibility, that final judgment pronounced upon her depends upon their lives, ability, mentality, and upon their character. And in conclusion, that with such a sense of obligation to her, even though our success may be modest, our course will be commended for its worthiness and that we shall make our highest contribution to a better and greater Creighton. 108 Lk ALUMNI LOUIS B. BUSHMAN, A. B., M. D. President Creighton Alumni Association The test of a university ' s calibre is its alumni. Creighton is indeed forunate in its graduates who have banded together to form an organization which knots the ties of fellowship and loyalty to their alma mater. The Creighton University Alumni Association deserves due credit for their efforts in the welfare of the institution. The Association is governed by a council of fifteen since it was reorganized in 1927, with T. Frank McDermott as first president. Each of the six major departments of the University has two representatives on the council, which meets twice a month. Besides these, three officers are elected at Homecoming, a president and vice president, for one-year terms, and a secretary-treasurer as a permanent position. Departments are awarded office in order of seniority; thus, Law will have the next president. Present officers are: Louis B. Bushman, A. B. ' 97, M. D. ' 03, president; Hugh F. Gillespie, A B ' 03, LL. B. ' 15, vice president; Frank P. Fogarty, A. B. ' 26, secretary-treasurer. Mem- bers of the Alumni Council are: John W. Duncan and W. E. Ash, from Medicine; Robert Schemel and M. J. Healy, from Dentistry; F. Turner Haines and Henry Lee, from Pharmacy; % [109] V . ALUMNI HUGH F. GILLESPIE, A. M., LL. M. Vice President Creighton Alumni Association Charles F. Bongardt and Francis P. Matthews, from Law; Thomas Cclcman and James A. Shanahan, from Arts, and Adolph Hallas and Edward Murphy, from Commerce. One-half of the Council changes at each fall election. Of late there has been a tendency of the Alumni to aid the University along practical lines to an unparalleled extent. Their activities has included the publication cf the Creighton Alumnus, management of the annual Homecoming, maintenance of general alumni mailing list and directory, collection of a scholarship fund for needy students, promotion of Creigh- ton Clubs in larger centers of population for social and university-welfare purposes (flourish- ing in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sioux City, la., Sioux Falls, S. D., Kansas City, Mo., St. Louis, Mo., and Chicago), and sending new students to Creighton. The special departments, as Law and Medicine, hold frequent social gatherings and banquets. | 110 !

October 26, Friday — The football team leaves for St. Louis. Everybody predicts an easy victory. October 27, Saturday — Events prove everybody wrong. St. Louis comes out on top by a score of 16-6. October 28, Sunday — Wallace Schramm is chosen Prefect of the Arts-Commerce sodality. Certain undergraduates withdrew to the Chieftain Hotel and organize Phi Beta Epsilon, a new social fra- ternity.

October 31, Wednesday — Not to be outdone by the freshmen, the senior pharmacists get together and pick Charles Kelley president. The co-eds rope off the Union Club rooms for a party and frown severely upon gate-crashers. November 1, Thursday— All Saints day, a holiday — but not for Dents and Medics. Rumors are heard of a Chamber of Commerce in the college of Commerce. The Psi O ' s move, to the great relief of their neighbors. November 2, Friday— Medical examination of the freshmen is reported to be almost complete. Creighton, represented by Hrushka and Marks, debates Nebraska U as a feature of a local teach- ers ' convention. Nobody wins, but a great time is had by the audience. The Kappa Psi ' s forsake the text books for an evening to enjoy a party- — a howling success. November 3, Saturday — Five hundred delegates from seventeen colleges and secondary schools take part in a spiritual council held in the auditorium. Clancy plays good football but South Dakota State is too strong and Creighton loses another one, 18-7.

The game ends a 7-7 tie and everybody satisfied except Coach Wynne. November 12, Monday — The nurses congregate in their gymnasium for a shindig. They enjoy food, music, dancing, and things like that. November 13, Tuesday — The pool tables in the gym are rearranged to allow more room for the play- ers, but the additional room proves to be merely an optical illusion. November 14, Wednesday — The Pan-Hellenic coun- cil meets and spends the evening deciding not to hold another meeting until January. Leon Bas- sier mystifies the French club by addressing it in the French language. November 15, Thursday — A group of ambitious track athletes, including Captain Reed, Gilley, Barron, Hanley, Turner, and Dwyer check out equipment and begin training on the indoor oval.

[121] TO s NURSES ' SODALITY  fl The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary, now flourishing in the School of Nursing, grew out of a series of conferences by Rev. F. X. Reilly, S. J., begun in February, 1923. The Sodality is a select body, a purely volunteer organization incorporating all the elements usually regarded as ideal. From year to year the number has grown until the roster includes all the Catholic student nurses. Twice each year, on December 8th and on the Sunday that marks the close of the May devotions, there is a solemn induction of candidates into the Sodality. An outstandina feature of the devotions is the singing cf hymns, reciting the office of the Blessed Virgin, by the Sodalists, and a sermon delivered every Sunday morning at 9:30 by Rev. F. X. Reilly, the Sodality Director. FRANCIS X. REILLY, S. J.

The Nurses ' Glee Club, organized during the past year, is a source of great pride to the School of Nursing. It consists of a carefully selected group of thirty-five cultured voices from among our student nurses and is conducted under the direction of Mr. Henry Sawatzki. The Glee Club made its first and delightful appearance in November at an entertainment given in the gymnasium of the Nurses ' Home. HENRY SAWATZKI ' Director { 123 1 ¥ 1 BLUE JAY STAFF TO lisi The successful handling of the Blue Jay in the Nurses ' Training School was very effectively carried out by Helen Bartek, Eulalia Schaefer, Ruth Coe, and Mary Fisher, to whom must go the credit for gathering the material and copy for this section. They have co-operated in every possible way with the main staff of the Blue Jay, and it is hoped that in the future, the same will be the case.

She heaved a sort of tired sigh And put the charts away. n Then sat for a moment and bowed her head Over the little white desk — I wonder, said she to herself, after all, Am I really doing my best? in Perhaps I could have begun the day With a brighter, cheerier smile, And answered the bells with — ' Right away ' Instead of After a while. ' And I might have listened with sweeter grace, To the story of Six ' s woes; She may be suffering more, perhaps, More than anyone knows. v Or perhaps the patient in Eighteen A Just needed a gentler touch; There are lots of things I might have done And it wouldn ' t have taken much. She sighed again and brushed a tear, Then whispered — praying low, My God, how can You accept this day, When it has been lacking so? VII And God looked down — He heard the sigh, He saw that shining tear; Then sent His Angel Messenger, To whisper in her ear .... VIII You could have done better today, But, oh! the Omnipotent One Seeing your faults, dees not forget, The beautiful things you have done. IX He knows, little nurse, that you love your work In this house of pain and sorrow, So gladly forgives the lack of today, For you will do better tomorrow. x The nurse looked up with a grateful smile. Tomorrow I ' ll make it right. Then added a note in the order book, Be good to them tonight. CREIGHTON MEMORIAL ST. JOSEPH ' S HOSPITAL Since the Completion of the Recent Additions [128] [130] Duchesne College, as The Academy of the Sacred Heart, has been in Omaha since 1881, and numbers among its graduates many of the prominent wcmen of the city. Although Junior College Courses were always given, the name Duchesne College was only adopted in 1916 when the first Bachelor degrees were conferred. In 1925, by an agreement entered into between The Creighton University and Duchesne College, the latter became the College for Women of the University. As a result of this agreement Duchesne College holds the same relation to Creighton University as do the Creighton Colleges for men and the degrees from Duchesne College are given by Creighton University just as the degrees from Creighton Colleges have always been given. [131] DUCHESNE COLLEGE TO THE LIBRARY The college motto, Ut digne ambuletis, well expresses the ideal of the students— that of loyalty to the highest principles of Christian faith and conduct. Every effort is directed towards the development of a character in which intellectual power will be so blended with moral and spiritual gift s as to enable its possessor to render the best possible service to God and country in whatever sphere of activity she may find herself placed.

This sodality, which has its own statutes and rules, is enriched with almost as many spiritual favors as the great congregation of the Prima Primaria in Rome, to which it has been affiliated. It dates from the time of Saint Madeleine Barat, i. e., the early part of the nineteenth century, and is now widely extended, having a center in every convent of the Sacred Heart throughout the world. The Duchesne girls take their precious medal with them when they leave the college, and this gives them entrance and welcome into every convent of the Sacred Heart, no matter in what part of the world they may be. Moveover, they form the nucleus of the Ladies, Children of Mary, that part of the sodality which is made up of former students and other women whose object is, not only their own spiritual pro- gress, but the advancement of every religious and civic activity which falls within the sphere of their influence. [141] s 17 5 THE BLUE JAY STAFF In order to secure in the greatest possible detail, events cf importance at Duchesne, it has been necessary to enlist the active services of Duchesne students in the pre- paration of this section. This work has been very successfully carried out in the year just past, by the Duchesne Blue Jay Staff. Headed by Miss Vera Gerlach, as editor-in-chief, and Alice Casey, both of the Senior class, and assisted by Helen Clare Schneider and Frances Reagan of the Junior class, this section has been planned and laid out.

The aim of the staff and student body is to reveal, in the pub- lication of all its literary efforts, the principles for which the institution stands. The seal of Duchesne on the cover of the monthly symbolizes these ideals: the oak is to signify strength of will and purpose, the balance denotes the sense of justice that is imbued in the heart of every Duchesne girl, and the anchor symbolizes the harbor of safety that is to be found in Faith. The Duchesne Monthly, besides recording the college news, feature short stories, essays, book reviews, and a society and alumnae column.

LaMPHIER OFFICERS OF ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION With the organization of the Women ' s Athletic Association at Duchesne, the in- terest in athletics has increased until at present the school is embracing in this field every popular sport. Besides basket ball, volley ball, tennis, golf, and hiking, which have hitherto been stressed in the College, the latest innovation, archery, has been successfully introduced this year. The aim of this Association is to foster a keen spirit of co-operation, of wholesome competition, and of sportsmanship. The point system of merit and the awarding of letters have proved to be adequate means of attaining this end, and the constitution drawn up in the beginning of the year sets down succinctly the rules and regulations . The Women ' s Athletic Association, a national society, with numerous branches, has begun its work at Duchesne under able supervision, and we may look forward to an even bigger athletic department in future years. Officers of the Athletic Association are: President, Mildred Guggenmos; Vice President, Amber Pollard; Secretary, Mary M. Lamphier; Treasurer, Kitty Foyc; Coach, Ursula Fagan.

MURPHY X Manager Students Union 2= s « ' VON pji v p..t .fc, The Creighton University Students Union came into existence on the seventeenth day of March, 1922, giving Creiglitcn University students an opportunity to com- memorate this date as another famous birthday, along with St. Patrick. The Students Union is an organization consisting of every male student in the university, and its purpose is to bring greater concerted action to bear upon the proper management of student affairs. The Students Union during the year has sponsored many activities and events. To begin with, we might mention the Minnesota trip, which was the result of concentrated effort to introduce Creighton University into Big Ten competition. To all intents and purposes this was successfully carried out, because in addition to the football team making the trip from Omaha to Minneapolis, students and almuni to the number of over six hundred made the jaunt. The Students Union also sponsors rallies, having made ar- [ 176 J STUDENT GOVERNMENT -OYD f? rangements for several during the football season, in co- operation with the management of the Riviera theatre in Omaha. Every student activity on the campus shows the influ- ence of the Union as its main support. Publications are one of its outlets, including the Blue Jay, the university yearbook, which was first published in the spring of 1924, edited by Brendon Brown, at that time a senior in the school of Law, and second president of the Stu- dents Union. The Creightonian, the weekly university newspaper, preceded the Blue Jay by one year, having been inaugurated in the fall of 1922, following the or- ganization of the Union in March of the same year, at which time Albert K. Stevenson was elected first presi- dent. Shadows, the quarterly literary magazine, is a successor of the old Creighton Chronicle, which went out of existence in 1922. Besides sponsoring the university publications, the Stu- dents Union also sponsors student pep organizations, which heretofore consisted merely in an almost super- human attempt at cheering, but this year the newly- J. A. HERBERS, S. J. Faculty Member of Union Board [177] lia STUDENT GOVERNMENT OFFICE OF THE STUDENTS UNION formed Knights of the Blue Jay have shown what can be done with the proper organiza- tion and with definite ends. Four student dances are given by the Union during the course of the school year. The first of these, the Frosh Frolic, is in honor of the incoming freshmen and is the formal initiation of the neophytes to the social life of the university. The second is the Blue Jay Ball, which takes place at the end of the football season, in honor of the athletes of the university. The third of these and the outstanding social event of the university calendar is the Junior-Senior Prcm. The fourth and last dance is the Inaugural Ball, which is given in the late spring. The Union maintains club rooms in the gymnasium for the convenience of the students, which is the favorite lounging spot on the campus, especially around noon time, when men from the colleges of Arts, Commerce, and Dentistry, and from the school of Law, go there for the noon hcur to eat sandwiches, delicately prepared by Bill Lynch and his gang, to play a game cf billiards, or just to sit around and tell stories. Another responsibility which rests upon the Union is the establishment of the rules governing freshmen, which, as anyone viewing both sides of the question knows, turns out to be somewhat embarrassing at times to cer- tain parties in question. The Students Union is governed by a board elected from among the second year students in each school or college to serve for a term of two years. It thus con- sists of a senior and a junior board, and is never dis- solved, but is successive in its existence. It is incorpo- rated, and therefore protected in its affairs. The senior board for the past year consisted of Edwin T. Ashby, president, Dentistry; Paul P. Massey, Law; Byron W. Reed, Commerce, Finance and Journalism; Hugh J. Fagan, Pharmacy; Willis L. Herbert, Medicine, and Francis T. Shaughnessy, Arts. The junior board consisted of Vincent P. Cavanaugh, Dentistry; Arthur Mullen, Jr., Law; Floyd M. Rom- JOHN N.

Offutt, Pharmacy; Reynold J. Ferrari, Medicine, and Wendell A. Dwyer, Arts. The faculty is represented by Father Herbers, who is present as a member of the board and not in any super- visory capacity. Business affairs of the Union are taken care of by E. D. Murphy, full time business manager, who is assisted by Fred H. Schonlau and John N. Friedman. Last fall a survey was made of different universities throughout the country, and it was found that the amount paid by Creighton students as fees were less than those paid in the great majority of instances, and that Creighton students received more for their fees than students of any other school in the country. The Union looks forward in the very near future to the establishment of its own club house, which will have in addition to the facilities already offered by the pres- ent club rooms, halls where parties can be held; and it may even include rooms for students and a cafeteria.

PETER ' Business Manager ROBERT E. BRITT Editor 1929 ' Blue Jay The staff of the Blue Jay herewith presents the 1929 edition, for general student approbation. We sincerely hope that it helps to meet the expectations held out for it. In presenting this book there are a few statements which we would like to make. From mere observation it will be seen that this book has more pages by fifty than last year ' s edition, with a corresponding increase in the total amount of engraving and art-work, yet the budget allowed by the Students Union Board to put out this edition was essentially the same as the amount appropriated last year. Consequently it has been necessary to economize to the utmost in order to take care of the extra fifty pages, and yet stay within the budget. All unnecessary space has been cut out of the half-tones, so that only the essential parts are shown. It is for this reason that the reader will notice a dissimilarity between pictures, especially as far as the height is concerned. sn THE OFFICE OF THE BLUE JAY [182] LAWRENCE J. FELTEN Managing Editor THEODORE W. PETER cAssistant business Manager Our economy has not merely been confined to the engraving. In comparing this book with previous editions, one will notice a slight difference between this cover and the covers previ- ously used, even though the Blue Jay itself is standardized. A different cover is used for economical purposes, although the same standard of quality is maintained. We do not believe that it is necessary to go into further details of the financial aspect of Top Row (left to right) : Ccrrigan, Stcinbaugh, Felten, O ' Connor, Lanaghan, O Shaujjh- nessy, Van Overschelde, Pellegrin, Ackerman, Timlin.

We have tried to maintain the high standards of the past, and yet we know that cur book is not flawless, and this we hand on to our successors, that they may profit, as we have profited from our predecessors, by our mistakes. With a final word, we wish to thank the students of the University and the members of the staff for their co-operation and effort in making this sixth volume of the Blue Jay possible.

With an enviable reputation to uphold, the staff surpassed all previous records in editing the official news organ of the school. Every bit of campus news was amply covered, every field of endeavor given proper publicity. As a consequence, the paper was extremely popular. The weekly ' s success can be directly traced to the ability of the staff, especially the editors- in-chief, Albert Russell and Frank Pellegrin. Both of these men were recognized as leaders in the field of journalism, and both helped put the paper on the map, as attested by the high awards won in the North Central Conference Press Association— first in editorial policy and second in general excellence. Frank Pellegrin added to the honor of the institution by being elected to the presidency of the association. HHHHHHBH TH H. L ' RE I il 1TON1 N J 3 [185] THE CREIGHTONIAN ALBERT J.

The magazine caters to articles, fiction, poetry and humor. In the past few years, Shadows has gained a foothold on the campus and now the interest shown in its production points to a rapidly growing literar y circle in the University. John Dugan was the Managing Editor of the magazine during the first semester. An Editor- in-Chief was not appointed immediately after the second semester, however, and a Board of Editors controlled the policy of the magazine. This Board consisted of Gene Mari Vana, Ephriam Marks, Al Russell, Wendell Dwyer, and Gerald Ryan. The Beard existed for the third issue of the year and after that Gerald Francis Ryan was appointed Editcr-in-Chief. Ryan is to act as editor until the second semes- ter in 1930, when a new editor will be appointed.

Fogarty, A. B. ' 26, Editor CREIGHTON ALUMNUS The almuni of Creighton have their own official organ, the Creighton Alumnus, a monthly magazine. This little periodical has done much to keep up the bond of school spirit between the former Blue Jay students. Under the able leadership of Frank P. Fogarty, the Creighton Alumnus has advanced in popularity. Its breezy items and newsy atmosphere have kept the grads in constant touch with their Alma Mater. Both campus and alumni news are treated in the publication, besides articles of personal interest. 3 W [190] RADIO dr. Mcdonald at the mike Dr. James F. McDonald, Professor of Physiology, School of Medicine, was one of the featured speakers of the series of Saturday night radio programs from Station WOW. His talk on the Common Cold of February 23, was an explanation of the accepted theories of its causes and effects, plus his own views derived from experimental data conducted by him in the laboratories of the Creighton Medical School. Following their usual custom, Creighton University broadcast from radio station WOW from 5:45 to 6:00 o ' clock every Saturday, presenting lectures by distinguished members of the faculty. This year a new period was added on Fridays from 4:00 to 4:30, featuring in addition to the lectures, dramatic club plays, debates, musical programs, and miscellaneous features. All home football games were broadcast by remote control from the Stadium. Fogarty did the announcing.

HRUSHKA President ' Debating Society As usual, Creighton University debaters, long renowned for their forensic ability, swept through their schedule with remarkable success. Up to the time of the Blue Jay going to press, the debaters had not a single blemish on their record, in spite of the fact that the menu was any- thing but a pink tea schedule. Coach Frank P. Fogarty worked untiringly to put out a team equal to any collegiate group in the country, in- culcating extraordinary power of analysis, argumenta- tion, and fluency of speech into his proteges. Victor E. Hrushka ably captained the team, while Bernard Martin as manager was responsible for the array of competition that composed the greatest schedule in the history of the institution. The big trip east was made by Victor E. Hrushka, cap- tain; Gerald Vasak, and Louis E. Lipp, last year ' s cap- tain. The annual southern trip was made by Ephraim Marks as pilot, William Dozier, John Dugan, and Elmer P [194] MARKS DOZIER R. HRUSHKA DUGAN Ogren.

INTRAMURAL DEBATE After a lapse of two years, intramural debate was revived, under the direction of Debate Coach Frank Fogarty. The students in charge of the tournament, which was held from April 15 to May 15, were Victor Hrushka, debate captain, Ephraim L. Marks, and John Gillin. Sixteen two-men teams vied for the president ' s cup. The entire student body, with the ex- ception of those participating in two or more ' varsity debates, were eligible. I [196] MRS. ANITA MAE MARSH TJnector Creighton Tlayers Creighton ' s prominence in dramaturgy has been steadily- rising since that eventful day in the spring of 1922 when the Rev. William J. Grace, S. J., then Dean of the Arts College and later President of the University, and Charles Costello organized the Mask and Wig Club. ' ' During the first two years of its existence the Club was an exclusive affair and its membership was limited to ten members. Perhaps its most noted dramatic suc- cess during these two years was the presentation of the Passion Play at the Brandeis theatre. In 1927, however, the direction of the organization was given to the Rev. Louis F. Doyle, S. J., who, with Fred Morrow, the director of the coterie, proceeded on the Group Idea of Dramatics, whereby all those who were interested in dramatics were allowed to participate in the work. The club was then known as the Creighton Uni- versity Dramatic Club, and presented such plays as The Family Upstairs, The Rear Car, and The Detour. Although the past history of the club has been filled with achievements, the future locks very rosy indeed. k ' ' A [193] Vs. DRAMATICS m J ■ f II if°v V THE CAST OF LIGHTNIN ' The fall of 1928 found an enthusiastic group ready to take part in this interesting diversion. The organization was given the name of ' The Creighton Players and the first play chosen was Tommy, by Howard Lindsay and Bertrand Robinson. This play was presented at the Creighton Auditorium on Thursday, October 18. The piece was a delightful play filled with unique situations, bits of pathos and an abundance of comedy. The lead was taken by Francis Mickey Maguire, who played the part with a zest tha: typifies his work. The ingenue was played by Kathleen Shaw, who handled her part with a daintiness that was pleasing. The other important parts were taken by Paul Shaughnessy, Creighton ' s medic-actor, Helen Foley, Lawrence Welch, Patrick Heaton, Geneva De Fries, and Raymond Gibbons. But the Creighton Players did net rest because of this fine piece of work. After emerging from one success they immediately began casting around for another plav that would give an opportunity to all of the talent. And they found it in the play Lightnin by Winchell Smith and Frank Bacon. This play gave Paul Shaug- nessy, our medic-actor, an opportunity to take a char- acter part that he does so well. Shaughnessy treated the LAWRENCE A. WELCH -Business Manager [199] n ¥ JW £ DRAMATICS SCENE FROM LIGHTNIN KATHLEEN SHAW AND MICKY MAGUIRE IN TOMMY sti fiti [200] ' ■■.... SCENE FROM A NIGHT AT AN INN The One- Act Play Entered in the Northwestern University Intercollegiate Contest part of the lazy, chronically inebriated Light- nin ' Bill Jcnes with a sympathy and insight that brought the theater lovers of Creighton to the realization that here was an actor. Mr. Shaugh- nessy rose to the height of his career at Creighton in this part. Grace Aldrich Ringer played op- posite Shaughnessy and lent her fine interpreta- tion of character to the play that brought about a symmetry and balance that marked it as another achievement. A new comedy team was found in this perform- ance in the personages of Lawrence Krell and Miss Isabelle Sullivan. The two, playing opposite each other, created an amusing undercurrent of humor that lifted the play out of the commonplace. Others who took part in the play were Francis Maguire, Lcis Leffholtz, Gene Mari Vana, Wil- liam Dozier, John Gillin, Charles Juergens, Frank Cejda, Martin Messing, Lyle O ' Rourke, Francis Shaughnessy, John Rinn, Duff O ' Shaughnessy, Margaret Tolbert, Nioma Cohn, Margaret Sul- livan, Jeanette Levinson, Florence Sullivan and Gertrude Shanahan. Because of printing arrangements, the review of the accomplishments of the entire year cannot be included. It is necessary to mention here, how- ever, that the Creighton Players presented New Brooms, by Frank Craven, on April 12. This play had Pat Heaton, one of the organization ' s most polished players, as its lead. PAUL SHAUGHNESSY As Lightnin ' Bill Jones [201] TO £ DRAMATICS The players also entered the Northwestern University Theatre Tournament, beginning on April 18. Here they presented A Night at An Inn, the one-act fantasy by Lord Dunsany. The all-male cast included Pat Heaton, Cliff Ryberg, Paul Shaughnessy, William Dozier, Francis Maguire, John Gillin, Larry Krell, and Larry Welch. This is one of the most ad- vanced steps that the Players have ever made. At this writing, it is not known how our Thespians fared in this contest. Besides the several plays just mentioned there were several one-act plays presented. This highly satisfactory year in the histrionic art at Creighton has been partially due t the superb directing of Mrs. Anita Mae Marsh of the Misner School. Mrs. Marsh took the Players and succeeded in bringing about a rhythm in the plays that spoke her ability. One of the outstanding feats of the year in the art of directing was in the court room scene in Lightnin. ' There were more than twenty characters on the auditorium stage but there was not a moment of discomfiture. They moved with utter freedom in a very limited space. The year is also a token of the efforts of the Rev. Louis F. Doyle, S. J., whose close associa- tion with the organization and whose advice was very helpful to the Players. The Creighton Players are no longer an experiment at Creighton; they are an institution. THE HOME OF CREIGHTON DRAMATIC PRODUCTIONS, THE AUDITORIUM [202] 5fe c THE GLEE CLUB The department cf music terminated with the resignation of Mr. Cox, and pending its re- establishment, Glee Club members provisionally joined St. John ' s choir, directed by Mr. John A. Jamieson. The Creighton Choral Club, consisting of the regular volunteers and soloists, Duchesne students, members of the St. Joseph ' s Nurses ' Glee Club, and the Creighton unit, broadcast the Christmas Midnight Mass and the Tre Ore services on Good Friday. Increased at- tendance at the late Sunday Mass attests the popularity of the Choral Consort. Creighton accepted an invitation to compete in the annual Missouri Valley Glee Club con- test, so an improvised Glee Club was recruited from the campus. This club gained recogni- tion and special mention. However, the best of talent needs time to prepare for public performance. JOHN A. JAMIESON ' Director of Musical Organiza- tions HAROLD A. MOORE Business 3 Aanager Glee Club fit t 204 ] Lk Though primarily a military organization, we cannot disregard the Band as a musical entity of the university, being very conspicuous in every activity wherein there are any numbers of the student body assembled, or any public demonstration of t he University. The band will be found at assemblies, rallies, games, both basket ball and football, helping to foster the spirit of the campus. Creighton has always had a band, of sorts—good, bad or indifferent, depending upon whether or not students attending the University owned musical instruments, consequently the poten- tialities of the band were very much handicapped by lack of instruments, but not musicians. With the thorough establishment of the R. O. T. C. the necessity of a good band was very much apparent at regimental reviews of the unit, consequently the government rendered valuable assistance in supplying needed instruments. In the organization of the Band into the well balanced organization that it is today, much credit is due to John Otte, Director of the Band, and Assistant Director of Musical Organizations of the University. Mr. Otte is himself a good musician, a graduate of the Creighton R. O. T. C. and College of Arts, and well acquainted with the intricacies of band organization on the campus. To this fact may be ascribed much of its success during the past two years. JOHN OTTE Assistant director Musical Organizations £ [205] ALL UNIVERSITY NIGHT The Showboat as presented by Carl Laemelle, and introduced by Flo Ziegfeld of Follies fame, playing at a local theatre, was thrown for a considerably substantial loss, at least as far as Creighton was concerned, on the night of Wednesday, April 24, when All University Night, the first venture of the University student body into the ways of the Road Show, was presented in the Creighton Auditorium. Eight acts featured the bill, varying from the ordinary boiled shirt acts to imitations of every imaginable sort, including that of a dyspeptic Ford truck, as presented by Pat Gill. A Road Show is something new on the Hilltop, frequently thought of in past years, but never put into practice. This has not been due to a lack of talent, because everyone knows that talent is something there is anything else but a scarcity of around Creighton. All University Night was sponsored by the Students Union, under the auspices of the Knights of the Blue Jay, and it is hoped that in the future will continue as well as begun. Production of the show was under the the direction of Martin J. Chicoine, assisted by Frank McCarten, president of the Knights of the Blue Jay, and E. A. Beilharz, who painted the scenes. The Orchestra, a sure enough stage band which accompanied the various acts requir- ing music, was under the direction of Ted Peter. The cast included Ray McGrath, singing Down Among the Sugar Cane, Harold Dryselius, vocal solos, Allen McNitt and Damian Flynn in a boiled shirt act, Sammy Greenberg and James McNally in a song and dance act, and, as previously mentioned, Pat Gill and his imitations. The main feature of the program, however, was a cycle of dances presented by John Blumette and accompanied by an honest-tc-gcodness chorus, consisting of eight nurses recruited from the two Creighton University hospitals, the Misses Cunningham, O ' Meara, Falcone and Fischer from St. Joseph ' s, and the Misses Higgins, Byrne, Roy and McAvoy. Such a program as this should naturally require a Master of Ceremonies, and in this respect the show was far from being at a loss. Hugh Higgins, whom it will be remembered from Shadows as being the defender of the modern woman in a literary debate with Gordon Diesing, acted in this capacity. Is it any wonder that Jay Mills left Omaha the following week? [206] SOCIAL THE HARD-TIMES QUEEN Hugh McDonnell, D. D. S. 1928 THE C CLUB HARD-TIMES PARTY OF 1928 The C Club ' s Hard- Times Party of 1928, one of the best fun-fests on the hill for many years, took place last year, just too late to be mentioned in the 1928 Blue Jay. However, it deserves mention here. In accordance with its caption as a hard-times party, in which the predominating require- ments are old clothes, and any mode of transportation except an automobile, the announce- ment was a signal for all the second hand clothing dealers in town to hang up all their back stock, consequently within a week before the dance was held, 90 per cent of the hock shops in town were well nigh depleted of their stock. The feature of the evening was the inf eduction of the Hard-Times Queen, announced previously as one of the leading society girls of our fair city. At 10:30 the grand march commenced, members of the C Club leading. After circling the gym floor once or twice, the crowd separated, forming an aisle from the west end of the floor to the orchestra stand. At this instance, the queen entered, heavily veiled, and reclining upon the arm of Hugh Fogarty, President of the C Club, who carried a large brown sack in his other hand. Reaching the orchestra stand, Fogarty removed a Quaker Oats box from the sack, from which in turn he removed the crown, packed in excelsior to prevent it from being scratched. The queen removed her veil and was crowned. She was no one else than Hugh McDonnell, 200-pound ' varsity tackle, who graduated from the College of Dentistry last June, and at the present time is den tal interne at St. Joseph ' s Hospital. [208] Yd iSL s SOCIAL THE FROSH FROLIC The Frosh Frolic, the traditional welcome for the freshmen, was held October 12th, and how they frolicked! Whoopee! This dance, sponsored by the Students Union, opened the season for 1928-1929, and to all intents and purposes was quite a lively reception for the incoming students, who were there in numbers and resplendent in absolutely their best: red and green, with suitable decorations to blend in with this setting. Tracy-Brown ' s Oklahomans gave a vivid demonstration of hot music. Everyone had a good time because this dance was the one event of the year when the Frosh could be seen at their best, due to the fact that they had just arrived, and the inroads of sciences, mathematics, and other subjects, deleterious to a carefree existence, had not as yet had an opportunity to furrow brows or to stoop shoulders. THE CRAZY QUILT The Crazy Quilt, post-Lenten dance given by the Students Union, was held on Friday, April 5th, in the gymnasium, which was well decorated to befit such an occasion as the name would suggest. As many colors as one could think of were used in the color scheme. Such an event was a very fitting means of opening up the spring social season, the success of which was very much enhanced by the confetti, streamers, and general carnival spirit which prevailed. The College Club Orchestra played. THE GYM AS DECORATED FOR THE CRAZY QUILT £ [209] I7ZT SOCIAL JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM 75S1 THE ROYAL COURT The ceremony of the Coronation of King Creighton VII, and his consort, an event for which the student body had become pitched to a high degree, climaxed the social season, when on the night of April 24th, at 10:30, in the main ballroom of the Fontenelle Hotel, Frank Mork, a Senior in the School of Medicine, received the sceptre of authority and the crown of the past monarchs, and Margaret Tolbert, Senior in the College of Commerce, Finance and Journalism, joined him as Queen. The 1929 Junior-Senior Prom by far exceeded in regal splendor and effectiveness any of its predecessors, the success of which is mostly due to the efforts of Edward D. Murphy, manager of the Students Union. At 10:30 the coronation ceremonies began, lights were dimmed and spotlights searched out the south door cf the ballroom, an aisle the entire length of the room was immediately formed among the subjects, and maintained by members of the Advanced Corps of the R. O. T. C in full uniform. The doors opened, and two trumpeters entered and marching to either side of the throne, immediately sounded the note that summoned the Lord High Chan- cellor, Edwin T. Ashy, Dental Senior, who issued the edict of the reigning governors. Followed another note from the trumpets, and eleven princesses entered, placing themselves to the right and left of the throne. They were followed in turn by the King ' s crown bearer and the eleven princes, each of whom immediately joined his princess. At this point the Lord High Chancellor singled out Frank Mork, and the newly chosen monarch knelt to receive the crown, and then ascended the throne of the Creightons. But the Queen! The Queen After the acclamation of the King had subsided, the MISS MARGARET TOLBERT s P ot ' ' g nts a g ain searched the south end of the room, and, [210 SOCIAL JUNIOR-SENIOR PROM m? King Creighton VII, Frank Mork; His Queen, Miss Margaret Tolbert And the Royal Court Immediately Following the Ceremonies of Coronation preceded by a flower girl, who dropped rose petals in her path, and her crown bearer, Miss Margaret Tolbert entered, and walking to the dais, knelt and received the crown from the King and joined him on the throne. With the first royal edict, On with the dance, the ceremony was over. The Princes of the Royal Court were: James Dalton and Ralph Mailliard from the College of Arts; John Friedman and Hymie Milder from the College of Commerce, Finance and Journalism; William Clark and Stanley Honsa from the College of Dentistry; Edward Dunn and John Cunningham from the College of Law; Walter Krukenkamp and Walter Gauer from the College of Pharmacy, and Frank Mork and Milton Premo from the School of Medicine. Princesses were: Zella Williams, St. Joseph ' s Hospital, and Margaret O ' Connor, St. Cath- erine ' s Hospital, from the College of Arts; Margaret Tolbert and Grace Ringer from the Col- legt of Commerce, Finance and Journalism; Lillian White cf the School of Dentistry, and Eileen O ' Brien from St. Catherine ' s Hospital, for the Dental school; Grace O ' Neil and Anne Schaefer of St. Joseph ' s Hospital for the School of Law; Sylvia Pakes and lone Mary Fox of St. Joseph ' s Hospital for the School of Medicine, and Bernadine O ' Rourke and Gene- vieve Krause from the College of Pharmacy. Trumpeters were Ralph Gross and Sammy Greenberg. Pages of the court were Kathleen Riley, Elizabeth Bar- rett, Catherine Roach and Gene Marie Festner. Crown- bearer for the King was Mildred Nielsen, and for the Queen, Loma Kemp. Mary Catherine Ewing was flower girl. Train-bearers were Gene and Jane McNab and Mary Catherine Moran, all pupils of Miss Fausteen Potts, who directed rehearsals for the ceremony. An added feature of the dance was the music, by Ted Fio Rito and his orchestra, from the Edgewater Beach Hotel, Chicago, a Victor recording orchestra heard fre- quently over Radio Station KYW. King Creighton VII FRANK MORK [211] TP B ? SOCIAL PAN-HELLENIC DANCE The seventh annual Pan-Hellenic dance was held April 16th in the Granada room of ihe Knights of Columbus Club, and en this occasion every worthy Greek went forth for ihe occasion of a good time without any evident disappointment. The Pan-Hellenic Council sponsors this one dance each year, the attendance at which is restricted to members of the twenty-odd fraternities of the campus, a rule which is strictly adhered to. Arrangements for this year ' s dance were in the hands of a committee consisting of Harry E. Stuckenhoff, representative of Phi Rho Sigma medical fraternity, and Louis Lipp and James Fitzgerald, representatives of Pi Lambda Phi and Delta Kappa Delta social fraterni- ties, respectively. Music for the dance was by the College Club Orchestra. A feature of the dance was the entertainment offered besides that of the College Club Orchestra, two acts from a local downtown theatre. Needless to say the party was very much of a success. OTHER FRATERNITY ACTIVITIES With the number of fraternities on the campus, there is almost always some social function being given by some individual fraternity. Nearly every organization gives at least one dance of importance each semester, and all give spring parties in the last month of the school year. Besides, with the increasing number of individual fraternity houses, there are numerous smokers and house parties throughout the school year. PAN-HELLENIC DANCE COMMITTEE Louis E.

The main feature of the evening was the public appearance cf the Honorary Colonel of the Creighton University R. O. T. C. regiment. The identity of the colonel was one of much speculation for over a month previous to the evening in question. However, to settle all arguments, Miss Bertha Mae Bradford of Omaha, Nebraska, was introduced at the climax of the grand march as the honorary colonel. The Military Ball is an annual feature of the spring social season, generally being the last before the season of Lent begins. £ [213 1 SOCIAL 1  ft 5 . ; r ft? ■■ t mi.

On this night the annual football banquet was held, at which time the lettermen from the preceding football season were announced. This dance was also sponsored by the Students Union, and was held in the Granada room of the Knights of Columbus club. It was the first Union dance, with the exception of the Junior-Senior Prom, which had ever been held away from the campus. The College Club orchestra played, and at 10:30 the music stopped, while Frank Carroll, a representative of the Knights of the Blue Jay, came to the front and introduced each of die seventeen lettermen. 1 21-4 1 MILITARY TO GEORGE R. HICKS Major Infantry, D. O. L. Professor Military Science and Tactics The Reserve Officers Training Corps is a branch of the United States Army, created by the National Defense Act of 1916. This act states that: the purpose of the Reserve Officers Training Ccrps is to train students during times of peace for the leadership of men durino times of war. It is designed to create reserve military strength in order to defend our nation should the need arise. The R. O. T. C. was net sufficient to meet the needs created by the World War, conse- quently in its place the Students Army Training Corps was established in all the universities and colleges in the United States. [216] WILLIAM S. MURRAY First Lieutenant Infantry, D. O. L. JOSEPH J. FRASER Captain Infantry, D. O. L. Creighton was among the universities to have a branch of this organization, from which many officers were sent to the various Officers Training Camps throughout the country, and to the personnel of the regular army. In December, 1918, this organization was disbanded, and the Reserve Officers Training Corps was established in January, 1919, under the direction cf Major Corbet S. Hoffman, detailed Lk REGIMENTAL STAFF AND COLOR GUARD % r 2i7i COLONEL THOMAS J. O ' BRIEN BERTHA MAE BRADFORD Honorary Colonel by the government to serve as professor of military science and tactics at Creighton. At that time the enrollment consisted of 136 members of the basic corps. The enrollment steadily grew until 1923, when Major Hoffmann was relieved by Major Francis B. Brannon. In this same year the first graduating class of the Advanced Course of the R. O. T. C. received their commissions as second lieutenants in the Officers Reserve Corps. REGIMENTAL REVIEW ei [218] Major Brannon instilled a spirit of competition in the R. O. T. C. by presenting each month a guidon of the university colors to the company that stood highest in general efficiency. This spirit was further increased in 1924 and 1925 by the presentation of a target rifle to the student scoring the highest in marksmanship, and a sabre to the member of the graduating class standing highest in his class. Major George R. Hicks relieved Major Brannon in 1926, and the spirit of competition was further increased by awards in other fields. The erection of the Stadium provided a site for a rifle range much better than was possible in the squash courts of the gymnasium. COMPANY B [219] COMPANY C Today the total enrollment of the R. O. T. C. numbers 376 basic students and thirty-two members of the advanced course, nineteen of whom will graduate and receive their com- missions in June. Since 1921, there have been added to the Officers Reserve Corps 120 members from Creigh- ton, graduates of the Reserve Officers Training Corps. COMPANY D Xc) [ 220] MILITARY TO  m DENTAL R. O. T.

C. has for the past two years been under the command of Eugene Milburne, Major Dental Corps, United States Army, and will this year confer com- missions upon seventeen members of the Senior class, as First Lieutenants in the Dental Re- serve Corps of the United States Army. The course of study as outlined in the Dental Unit is quite similar to that of the medical department of the army, and is concerned chiefly with questions of sanitation and hygiene, especially in relation to oral infections such as trench mouth, etc. Besides these, a thorough understanding of chemical warfare, especially in regard to poisonous gases and their effects, is included in the course, due to the frequency with which dentists in the service come in contact with such emergencies.

McMULLEN 7 L)arsity Line Coach INTRODUCTION In the past the name of Creighton has been outstanding in athletics as in education. Teams inspired with the spirit of victory but a sense of sportsmanship and fair play are known throughout the country. At present, Creighton maintains an envied position due to her prowess. Her reputation for sportsmanship remains untarnished and though not always victorious , always dangerous. Creighton is blazing new paths into the future with its entrance into the Missouri Valley conference. Baseball has been added to the list of major sports while more stress is also being placed en the minor sports which now consist of tennis, golf and cross-country, and which will eventually include wrestling and swimming. A comparison of the present Blue Jay schedules with ihose of the past will convince one of the phenomenal progress of Creighton in the athletic world. Until a few years ago, Creigh- ton ' s athletic domain consisted of the middle west. Today the Blue Jays compete with teams from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific coast. The credit for this remarkable progress is due to the efforts of our director of athletics, Arthur A. Schabinger, one who has devoted all his interests to the betterment of this phase of Creighton University. LAWRENCE T. LILLY 6 Assistant llackfcld Coach [224] TO ATHLETICS • BoNG A -VV- K v fW., b THE ATHLETIC BOARD The Creighton University Athletic Board exists primarily to determine the policies of the athletic department. The board is constituted, however, to represent the interests of the faculty, the alumni, and the student body of the university as well as the personnel and in- terests of the department itself. Under its jurisdiction comes all intercollegiate sports as well as directing the intramural athletic program for the year. One of the notable achievements of the athletic board during the past year was the gaining of admission to the Missouri Valley conference. This connection with one of the strongest and best established athletic conferences in the middle west will tend to hold Blue Jay athletics in that high respect which they now proudly command. Varsity baseball was again placed on the program and the Blue Jay nines will compete with the other Valley members for the loop title. Swimming has been adopted as a minor sport together with cross-country, tennis and golf, and teams representing these sports will engage in intercollegiate contests. Through the efforts of the athletic board the Missouri Valley track and field meet was held in the Creighton Stadium this year. The board consists of A. A. Schabinger, director of athletics; three faculty members, Rev. W. J. Corboy, Rev. J. C. Flynn and Charles Bongardt; James Kelley, Joseph Byrne and Guy V. Furay represent the alumni, while William Dendinger and Walter W. Key are the student representatives. 551 [225] ARTHUR A.

Due to their prowess they have achieved national prominence in the athletic world. Shortly after their withdrawal from the North Central loop, the Blue Jays were admitted to the Missouri Valley, a conference which has established an enviable reputation due to the powerful teams which represent it and the sportsmanlike manner in which they conduct themselves. The 1928 season, although for the first time in many years, more games were lost than won, may be considered anything but a failure. Victory over our traditional foe, the Marquette Golden Avalanche, is an achievement which always makes Blue Jay grid campaigns a success. Utah University, champiens of the Rocky Mountain conference and one of the few undefeated teams in the nation, was forced to content itself with a tie in its battle with the Wynne-coached eleven. In its initial year in the Missouri Valley, Creighton proved itself worthy of membership by finishing in second place. The Blue Jay eleven met Drake on Thanksgiv- ing day in a contest which was to decide the conference championship. The Bulldogs, after a great battle, were victorious by the score of 6 to 0. RALPH MAILLIARD Captain 192H Squad sn [230] m 1928 FRESHMAN SQUAD Utah Game — Scott Going Through Tackle for Gam Utah Game — A Completed Pas [231] [232] [233] J pp v FOOTBALL =© ■y J 1= TO MINNESOTA GAME The first game of the season found Coach Chet Wynne and his gridmen pitted against the powerful Minnesota Gopher eleven, the same Minnesota which year in and year out possesses just about the best football playing material in the country. A squad twice the size of the Jays, every man ready for his season ' s debut, it is little wonder that the perennial power team of the north did not roll up more than a 40 to score. Regardless of the granted advantages which the victors had before the contest started and the apparent top-heavy aspect of the score, the Minnesotans were forced to battle for every point which they made. A long list of too many capable halfbacks which the Minnesota coach kept inserting into the line-up during the progress of the game was the means by which the Gophers held the whip-hand, for considering the merit of the two lines and comment from Minnesota circles, the Creighton forwards more than held up their end against the odds which they faced. Mailliard, Lucas, Caniglia, Lynch and Dunn did admirable work among the Creighton for- wards, functioning well on several occasions, which was noticeable during one period of the play when the Minnesota line-up was changed, moving Nagurski from full back to tackle to bolster the line. The Jays made a big offensive bid in the third quarter when they carried the ball from their own 10-yard line to Minnesccta ' s 18-yard line where a pass on fourth down over the Gopher goal line ended the march. The entire Hilltop backfield, composed of Scott, Bertoglio, Hunt and Rombough, took a hand in this big stab through the Gopher line. In this march a beau- tiful pass, Scott to Bertoglio, was good for an 18-yard gain. In the first minute of play of this game Somers, the famed Creighton punter, was injured and lost to the squad for the remainder of the season. w [234] rsr a FOOTBALL HP IbJ ' 1 Ml i OKLAHOMA A. AND M. GAME In the inaugural home game of the 1928 football season the Creighton Blue Jays won an impressive 37 to victory over the Oklahoma A. and M. College and incidentally established themselves as one cf the strong elevens of the Missouri Valley conference. The large crowd present had scarcely settled down for the game when the first Blue Jay score was tallied. The Oklahoma Aggies, having received the kickoff, found the Hilltop forward wall too solid to penetrate and resorted to assume the defensive by punting, only to have the kick partially blocked. The ball went over the scrimmage line to Bertoglio in one of the wing back positions and he returned it twenty yards to the Aggie 20-yard line. A line thrust and then a beautiful pass, Scott to Hunt, counted for the first six points. After this score the Aggies went on the defensive without even trying to gain whenever they obtained possession of the ball and it was apparent more and more as the contest progressed that the local eleven was the best team and had the situation well in hand. Some ripping cuts into the line with an occasional well-executed pass thrown in comprised the mode of attack of the many drives which Captain Mailliard and his men made across the Aggie goal line. Rombough scored the second touchdown on a short smash over guard and a few minutes later added another when he intercepted an Aggie pass and ran fifty yards, to bring the Creighton total to eighteen points. Bertoglio and Scott each scored in the third period, and Hunt added the final six points in the first few minutes of the final quarter. Scott, by his fast and flashy footwork on the heavy, soaked field, and Rombough in the manner in which he ripped through the Aggie line, were the bright lights for the Jay offense, while in the line Caniglia, Lynch, Dunn and Mailliard did noticeable work. ft 3 1 | [235] UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA GAME A big Homecoming crowd saw the University of Oklahoma eleven and the Creighton Jays battle for three and a half periods withoutj a score, only to have the visitors launch a desper- ate forward passing attack in the final seconds of the contest and slip over a touchdown followed by a converted kick, to win by a 7 to count. Coach Wynne ' s men had a considerable advantage of the play during the initial quarter, but lost many advantages to score by fumbling at critical moments. As a whole, the game during the first period was very fast. Both teams concentrated on the offensive and this added to the many excellent breaks, for Oklahoma was also guilty of stage fright and fumbling in the first part of the contest, gave the battle a wide open aspect with the specta- tors expecting a score at any moment. Creighon received the kick-off and proceeded to ring up three first downs in a row, the third one when Bertoglio made a long run through the line. Captain Mailliard took a big part in this drive, opening big holes for his backs. With the ball deep in Oklahoma territory Creighton lost the ball on a fumble. The visitors, on a long pass followed by two rapid first downs, worked down to the Blue Jay 8-yard line only to likewise fumble and have Creighton recover. From this point back in the other direction the Creightonians marched 86 yards to put the Homecoming crowd in a frenzy. Two first downs, then Scott sprinted through a small hole in the line and went for twenty yards, another first down and Hunt, behind perfect inter- ference, added another thrill by going twenty-three yards around end. Ten more yards on line plunges, then the Sooners held on the 6-yard line. Back and forth both teams battled in the second and third periods on even terms, only to have the Sooners sneak over a win by a last-minute overhead attack. It was a great game. ( 256 ] ST. LOUIS GAME A small band of Creighton rooters accompanied the Blue Jay gridsters to St. Louis for the annual game with the Billikens, and after watching the local team gain more yardage than the rival eleven, saw several fumbles committed which proved to be the undoing of the Omaha team and St. Louis won, 16 to 6. The game opened to an apparent good start for Creighton when Scott in the first two minutes of play gave a beautiful exhibition of broken field running by running seventy yards to the St. Louis goal after catching a punt. However, the play was called back and on the next play in catching a punt he was tackled and carried back over his own goal line for a safety. Two points behind, Lucas recovered a St. Louis fumble, but the Blue Jays, after gaining eighteen yards, fumbled, and St. Louis scored a few minutes later after a series of line bucks. The converted score made the score 9 to for the Bills. Play in the second quarter was all to the favor of Creighton, the Jays forgetting the fumbles for the time being and put a touchdown over. Rombough started the drive by intercepting a St. Louis pass in mid-field and with the aid of Hunt and Bertoglio took the ball on a con- certed series of line plunges to the St. Louis 3-yard mark. From this point Scott passed to Bertoglio over the line for a touchdown. The Hilltop gridsters opened the third period with a rush which the St. Louisans were unable to stop. The march proceeded to the St. Louis 5-yard line where the local eleven lost the ball as the result of an offside penalty. Gaining possession a few minutes later another score loomed, only to be stopped this time by a fumble. Late in the last period St. Louis inter- cepted a Creighton pass and from the 20-yard line rushed the ball over for the final score of the game. The Jays had considerable power and looked good at times. [237] U . FOOTBALL SOUTH DAKOTA GAME Practically every football team has one bad game in its system during the season and try as hard as the players will, or whether favored to win over a supposedly weaker team, the nature of that bad game will come to the front and tend to spoil what would otherwise be a creditable season. The Creighton eleven this fall was no exception to this general condition as evidenced by the game with South Dakota State which the Jackrabbits won by an 18 to 7 score. This contest started out highly favorable to the Wynnemcn and even gave indications that they might win, but as the play progressed the South Dakota Staters became stronger, rolled up considerable more yardage, made more first downs, and seemed able to gain almost at will. However, such does not indicate that the Blue Jays were not making a fight of it. They were in the battle every minute, but the characteristic punch, attack and good defense of previous games was not on display. The game opened with Creighton receiving the kick-off, and on the next play following, Clancy, who was starting his first game, streaked out in the wake of some clever interference and covered seventy-one yards for a touchdown. Hunt converted for the extra point. With play resumed Creighton had possession of the ball and was bidding for another score as a result of twenty yards in two plays by O. Scott and Clancy, but a miscue in the back- field, which was recovered before the Jackrabbits could reach the ball, necessitated that the Jays punt out of danger. The attempted kick was blocked and recovered by South Dakota on the Creighton 35-yard line. By use of line smashes the Staters rushed over for a score and this was followed by another before the first quarter ended. They scored again in the final minutes of the game. [238] I GRINNELL GAME Possessing a greater ability to kick goals after touchdowns proved to be the deciding factor by which the Blue Jays triumphed over the Grinnell College eleven on the afternoon of November 23, at Grinnell. Hunt of Creighton converted two scores in three attempts, while the Grinnell kicker added the extra point just once in as many attempts, which made the final score read 20 to 19 for the Jays. Open style of play predominated throughout the game, both teams throwing a large number and completing several passes. Two of the loser ' s and one of Creighton ' s scores came as the direct result of passes. Three costly fumbles, one by the losers and two in the Hilltop back- field, had a bearing on the final score. Creighton received the opening kick-off and marched to the opponents ' 1-yard line only to fumble and have Grinnell recover and kick out of danger. In the final period, when the Blue Jays were trailing, 14 to 19, the Pioneers fumbled and the Creightonians recovered en the Grinnell 22-yard line, and in four plays put over the winning touchdown. The Jays fumbled on their own 10-yard line in the third period and the Iowans turned this break into a touchdown. In spite of the fumble on the 1-yard line at the start of the game Creighton scored within the following two minutes. The Pioneers punted out thirty yards. Hunt skirted the left end for ten yards, the Jays were penalized fifteen yards, and Scott then ran the opposite end for twenty-five yards and Hunt crashed over center for the remaining few yards and a touch- down. He converted his score. Wynne ' s men tallied at the start of the second quarter on a fifteen-yard pass, a ten-yard line plunge by Rombough and an end run of the same distance by Bertoglio. Hunt converted. Two long passes as the half was ending accounted for the first Grinnell score. The goal was converted, the only one by the visitors. A pass, good for a sixty-five-yard gain, as the third quarter was ending, brought the third Grinnell score. [239] ar, came las oc- UTAH GAME A ninety-yard dash to a touchdown by Rombough, Creighton fullback, and the extra point by Hunt, halfback, enabled the Blue Jay eleven to raise its football stock considerably by tieing with a 7 to 7 count the hitherto undefeated, untied University of Utah Utes, cham- pions of the Rocky Mountain conference. This long dash, the flashiest piece of work seen on the Creighton gridiron this ye just at a time when the Blue Jay rooters were very much dejected. The situation __ curred oftener in fiction than on the football field. The Utes had just scored, employing two line plays, a forward pass and a short line buck to gain the six points, after traveling more than half the length of the field. The extra point was likewise added. The teams lined up and the ball sailed to Rombough. He raced down the middle of the field, slid off several tacklers and, seeing a hole, he cut in the direction of the sidelines, pick- ing up Sullivan, substitute Creighton guard, on the way. They out-sped the nearest Utes and were in the open except for the western safety man. Sullivan took care of the remain- ing opponent and Rombough continued on for the score, unmolested. Hunt saved the day by converting the touchdown by a place-kick. This all took place five minutes before the close of the first half. Following this thrilling score by Rombough the Wynnemen made another drive which looked good for a score. Hunt intercepted a Utah pass to begin with. Two passes, Scott to Rom- bough, and runs by Hunt and Scott, took the ball from mid-field to the 15-yard line, but a fumble voided the effort, and the half ended shortly afterward. Both teams battled on even terms in the third quarter and during most of the final period, when the Utes made a seventy-yard march which landed them on the 5-yard mark as the game ended. J. Scott, and Rombough, until he was injured and taken from the game, and the whole Blue Jay line, showed up well. !40 DRAKE GAME Just about the hardest battle which Creighton engaged in during the 1928 schedule was won by Drake University of Des Moines by a 6 to score, and with it the championship of the Missouri Valley conference, on Thanksgiving afternoon before a large crowd which braved a snowstorm to witness the contest. The storm came up just a few minutes before the opening kick-off and continued throughout the game, but this did not mar the tenseness of the struggle on the part of the players except to cut down on the effectiveness of forward passes. The Wynnemen gave a good exhibition, in fact their play in the first half was surprising since the visiting Bulldogs were favored to win rather easily. Each team made the same number of first downs and the Jays were only a scant twenty yards behind in the matter of yards gained from scrimmage. Early in the first quarter Creighton threatened when Scott ran thirty yards through the Drake line and Hunt followed with a fifteen-yard end run only to have a fumble follow and spoil the advantage. Bolton intercepted a pass shortly afterward and after an exchange of punts the Jays, on a series of line plunges, worked the ball down to the 15-yard line, where they were forced to kick. The battle raged evenly during the second quarter, neither team being able to work out of the mid-field region. An eighteen-yard end run by Hunt was the most noticeable piece of work during this period. As the third quarter was drawing to a close, three first downs in a row put Drake in a position to score. Nesbit, the great Drake halfback, tried a drop kick, which failed. Scott ' s punt following the drop kick was short and the Bulldogs obtained possession on the Creighton 40-yard line. Nesbit on eight consecutive plays carried the ball and finally went over for a touchdown. The game ended shortly after, and it was a great battle, too. [241] MARQUETTE GAME As a grand finale of their season ' s efforts Creighton ' s Blue Jay grid warriors ran rough-shod over the Golden Avalanche of Marquette by a 9 to 6 score. The final count by no wise tells of the decided advantage that the local players held over their opponents; they fought hard, the line opened big holes and the backfield men charged through for huge gains, till by the time of the final gun the Jays amassed almost three times as many yards from scrim- mage as the losers. It was the final college game for seven of the Blue Jay veterans and it was a fitting manner in which to close their grid careers. Bertoglio, veteran half, finished in a blaze of glory. His eighty-two-yard gallop to a touchdown early in the first quarter will go down in the Hilltop chronicles as one of the outstanding 1928 football feats. It was a great run, for he covered the big stretch almost single handed. Starting from his own 18-yard line he found that all his interferes were spilled by the time the scrimmage line was reached, and from this point on he sprinted, dodged and fought his way alone to the Avalanche ' s goal line. The game, postponed once, was played on December 8 on a frozen field. This added to the injury list but net enough to impede Creighton ' s victory. Hunt literally put the game on the ice in the third quarter when he booted the ball directly between the uprights from the 15-yard line. This was the winning margin since Marquette scored a touchdown later on. Hunt, who had fair success kicking goals after touchdown during the season, had never attempted a goal from the field before, and his success was all in line with the wonderful showing that the entire Creighton team made in this final qame of the 1928 season. Gebert, the highly touted Marquette ball carrier who was expected to carry his team to a triumph, was hawked very closely by the Blue Jay forwards, his only aid to the opponents ' attack being the pass which he caught that was turned into the only Avalanche score. His efforts to gain from scrimmage went for naught since he was stopped every time on the scrimmage line. [242] FOOTBALL VARSITY RESERVE Berger, Masika, Faha, Tierney, Pellegrin, O ' Brien Clancy Kavanaugh, Maguire, Crawford, Walker Furay, Hollenbeck, Davis, Kirkpatrick, Burke, Kellogg The above pictured group, although failing to win the coveted C nevertheless performed in a manner that was pleasing to the eyes cf the spectators. Several of this number are likely candidates for regular berths on the ' varsity next year. George Berger, husky guard, alternated with Caniglia last season and will undoubtedly be placed at this position in the starting line-up next fall. Orlando Scctt is another Blue Jay who performed in a very creditable manner last year. Scottie, alternating at fullback with Captain-elect Rombough, was a hard man to stop. Pellegrin was a reserve end on the 1928 squad. His lack of weight was offset by his unusual amount of fight and speed. O ' Brien, Walker and Maguire were former lettermen who, though failing to letter this year, performed creditably at all times. Maguire has another year left and it should prove to be his greatest. Tierney, Faha, Clancy, Kavanaugh, Crawford, Hollenbeck and Davis are other reserves who will be back next year to aid the Blue and White in its march to victory. [243] The success of the usherettes during the basket ball seasons the past few years prompted Athletic Director Schabinger to try the same system during the football season just past. Needless to say, the idea was a success from the time the first whistle blew during the Okla- homa A. and M. game to the final, that blustery afternoon of Thanksgiving day when Drake brought their pride and joy, Nesbit, here to do his stuff. Of the two groups here pictured many are well known from the basket ball seasons past, in the upper group. The lower group represents one of the first groups of nurses from St. Joseph ' s Hospital to actively participate in campus activities. [244] 14a KNIGHTS OF THE BLUE JAY The Knights of the Blue Jay is the successor of various other pep organizations seen in years past on the campus, such as the Blue Loons, Roaring Seventy, etc. This organi- zation, sponsored by the Students Union in co-operation with the athletic department, during the past year has sponsored rallies, parades, and has usually managed to gather together some sort of entertainment during the halves of the basket ball games. William A. Beattie was elected president of the Knights early in the year but had to with- draw before the completion of his successful year. However, his place was filled by Frank M. McCarten, who carried on successfully the work started by Beattie. The Knights of the Blue Jay is a permanent organization, and all activities in which they are engaged are carried out by committees appointed for that purpose, thus eliminating the pos- sibility of things being done in a haphazard way.

His place on next year ' s squad will be a hard one to fill. Captain-elect Louie Trautman is truly deserving of the honor bestowed upon him by his team mates. The tall blonde has turned in two great seasons for Creighton and under his leader ship the Blue Jays should be represented by another powerful team. U FRED KAMPF Captain 1928-1929 [248] Ua Harry Trautman is the other Ietterman who has finished his basket ball career on the hill- top. Harry has played a guard position for three years and fans will long remember his thrilling mid-court ringers. Verner Brud Jensen was the outstanding man en this year ' s squad. He placed highest in the individual scoring records and was placed on numerous ail-American and all- Western teams. Brud has another year of competition left and when this is completed he will un- doubtedly be numbered among the greatest centers of all time. 9= [249] Bart Corcoran is the scrappy little guard whom many consider to be one of the best barricades that ever wore the Blue. Corcoran has completed two great years and his next should be even better. Fred Melchoirs is another guard of whom great things are expected next year. Freddy has two more years left and will undoubtedly take over the vacancy caused by the graduation of Harry Trautman. Eugene McCabe is another sophomore who plays both forward and center. Being fast and a clever floorman, he is the logical choice for Captain Kampf ' s forward position. [250] ro ia s BASKET BALL Six lettermen and a large number cf sophomores and former reserves greeted Coach A. A. Schabinger when the initial call fcr basket ball candidates was sounded. From this squad was to be picked a ccmbinaticn which would carry the Blue through one of the hardest schedules ever arranged for a Creightcn team. A record of thirteen victories and four defeats by the narrowest of margins attests the fact that the 1928-29 quintet maintained the prestige which former Blue Jay teams so proudly held in the basket ball domain. COE Coe College of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, furnished the competition for the opening game of the season. With Captain Kampf leading the attack with 15 points the Jays had little difficulty in winning, the final score being 35 to 18. The reserves played the latter portion of the game and performed in a creditable manner. COLORADO Colorado University, one of the strongest fives in the Rocky Mountain conference, were forced to bow to the Blue in a two-game series. With the Trautman brothers leading the attack the Jays were returned the victors in the first contest by a 32 to 21 margin. Jensen ' s 21 points aided in the 46 to 27 victory in the second game. In this game Warnich, opposing center, became confused and scored a field goal for the Blue Jays. KANSAS STATE Kansas State, the first Big Six opponent, proved no match for the Schabinger coached quint, finishing on the short end of a 50 to 25 count. Louie Trautman led the attack with 18 points, while Corcoran performed brilliantly on the defense. Nigro and Freeman were out- standing for the visitors.

[251] s TO BASKET BALL GRINNELL The initial Missouri Valley opponent succumbed to a powerful Blue Jay attack by a 39 to 25 count. In this game every man performed in a brilliant manner and it would be impossible to pick an individual star. Captain Coggeshall was the main cog of the Grinnell defense. DRAKE The Jays were in a revengeful mood when they encountered the Drake Bulldogs and forced them to content themselves with the shorter end of a 37 to 21 score. Big Brud Jensen ac- counted for 20 Creighton points, while King was outstanding for Drake. MARQUETTE The jinx which has forced Creighton teams to annually concede defeat on the Marquette court was finally ended when the Blue Jays scored a 32 to 20 victory in a hard fought game at Milwaukee. Jensen continued his scoring spree by collecting 10 points. OKLAHOMA A. AND M. Our second Missouri Valley opponent, Oklahoma State, could not cope with the fast Blue Jay offense and incidentally were defeated, 49 to 23. Harry Trautman ' s mid-court ringers accounted for 16 points, while Jensen added 12 before being ejected on personals. IOWA The Iowa University Hawkeyes caught the Blue Jays in one of their weak moments and abruptly ended their long string of victories when they scored a field goal in the dying mo- ments of the game to win, 28 to 26. Although it was a hard game to lose, we could not begrudge the Hawkeyes their victory. [252] w TO BASKET BALL IOWA STATE After trailing at the halfway mark the Blues unloosed a whirlwind offensive to conquer the speedy Ames outfit by a 32 to 26 score. Louie Trautman led in the attack with 9 points, followed closely by Harry Trautman, Kampf and Jensen. Lande, Woods and Ludwig were conspicuous in the Iowa State attack. MISSOURI For the first time in two years Creighton lost a game on the home court when a fast breaking Missouri cage squad took the measure of the Schabinger quint. The brilliant performance of a certain Ruble paved the way for this Tiger victory. Melchoirs and McCabe, a classy pair of reserves, were injected into the fray in the last few minutes and all but pulled the game out of the fire. So the Blue Jays met their second defeat of the season by a 29 to 33 count. WASHINGTON A game for which both teams had been pointing all season resulted in a 22 to 16 victory for the great Washington University quint of St. Louis. This defeat forced the Jays to content themselves with the runnerup position in the Missouri Valley race. Close guarding featured this thrilling game, which the superior Washington quint won. SYRACUSE Record crowds saw the Creighton and Syracuse universities break even in a series of two games played on the New York Stater ' s court. Six points proved to be the margin of victory in each game, the Jays winning the opener 31 to 25, but dropping the second one 35 to 29. Syracuse was represented by a powerful quintet which proudly boasted of one of the best records in the East. [253] r C33XV _ BASKET BALL MARQUETTE The Jays experienced little difficulty in taking the second game of the season from the Mar- quette cagers. Jensen, Kampf and McCabe were largely responsible for this 26 to 17 victory over the Golden Avalanche. Andrews and McEllictt were outstanding for Marquette. KANSAS The 44 to 27 score clearly exhibits the comparative strength of the Blue Jay and Kansas University Jayhawk cage squads. With the entire team performing as one man Schabinger ' s cage squad had little difficulty in defeatng the heretofore unbeatable Jayhawks. The victory served as a sweet revenge for the 2 point defeat which the Jays were forced to accept two years ago from the Allen-ccachcd quint. DRAKE The final game with Drake University proved to be one of the fastest of the season. Neither team was able to gain a substantial lead and it was not until the last few minutes that the Blue Jays were assured victory. Jensen and Corcoran performed brilliantly for the Creighton five, while Von Koten and King starred for the Bulldogs. m M. [254] 1928-29 FRESHMAN TEAM This year ' s freshman cage squad, coached by Johnny Trautman, is considered the best yearling squad for some time. The yearlings, represented by many all-city and all-state men, defeated the ' varsity squad on several occasions. Among the outstanding performers on the Frosh roster were Worthing, Van Ackeran and Davis of Omaha, Binder of South Dakota, and Logan of California. Other promising men were Warren, McDermott, Pieper, McCabe and Welch. Playing a schedule consisting chiefly of state college teams they were forced to bow in defeat on only one occasion. Numbered among their victories was a 66 to 24 win over Omaha University. IAq THE USHERETTES An added attraction at all the basket ball games was the presence of a group of charming young ladies who acted in the capacity of usherettes. Clad in appropriate uniforms of Blue and White they added much color to the occasion. Since the innovation of this added feature there has been a decided increase in the gate re- ceipts. It is rumored that in the future they will serve in this capacity at debates, oratorical contests, and other less attractive campus entertainments.

Reed was accorded the honor of leading the 1929 Blue Jay track squad through the most strenuous schedule that has even been outlined for a Creighton track team. When the season is completed the Jays will have appeared in the Western A. A. U. indoor relays at Kansas City, the Missouri Valley conference meet at Drake, the Kansas relays at Kansas University, the Drake relays at Des Moines, the Dakota relays at Sioux Falls, the Creightcn-Grinnell dual meet at Omaha, and the Missouri Valley outdoor track and field championships at Stillwater, Oklahoma. The 1928 Creighton track squad made its initial outdoor appearance at the Kansas relays at Lawrence, Kansas. Although the Blue Jays qualified several men they failed to place in the finals. The next appearance was at the Dakota relays at Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Judging from the number of events in which the Jays placed or won, one would be led to believe that it was a dual meet. The boys in Blue ran off with first place in the 440 and half mile relays in the university class, Reed, Barron, Schroeder and Flint running the events in the fast timings of 44.5 and 1:30.2. They beat their opponents, Nebraska Wes- leyan and Morningside, by more than twenty yards in the latter event. A team of Reed, Gilley, Binder and Hollenbeck came in first in the two-mile relay and finished second to Doane college in the sprint medley relay. Osmond Flint running in the 100- yard dash, finished second to Alf and Doane, and Jimmy McAloon tied for third in the high jump. BYRON REED Captain 1929 Track Team v i g. - V 9t ' ' p . Jb t ■ ' ' }; [258] z S n « TRACK LETTERMEN 1928-1929 TURNER HANLEY Racing to a glorious finish in their years of competition in the North Central conference, the Blue Jays were barely nosed out of the track championship when they bowed to the Bunnies of South Dakota State to the tune of 54 1 to 52. The inability of the Jays to place in the weights and the Jackrabbits ' own strength in these events, spelled defeat for the Blues. Oher conference members, beyond Morningside, did not display enough talent to give either the Jays or their Northern conquerors much of a battle. Morningside placed third in the final rankings with a total of 37 points, while the North Dakota schools were completely out- classed, the Bisons garnering 6 points and the Flickertails 4. Shining forth in the Jay ' s great showing was the work of Tom Hollenbeck and the four sprinters, Reed, Barron, Flint and Schroeder. Hollenbeck set a new record for the mile when he ran the distance in 4:29.2, and the relay quartet also hung up a mark when they skimmed over an 880-yard course in 1:31.4. The Blues and Rabbits were evenly matched throughout the entire meet, each placing thirteen men in the preliminaries. However, the work of Engleman, State star and outstanding man of the meet more than offset the advantage that the Creightonians had in the runs. The versatile Jackrabbit accounted for 19 of his team ' s 54 markers, hauling down firsts in the low hurdles and the discus, and placing in the shot-put, the high jump, the high hurdles and javelin. The showing of Barron, sophomore sprinter, was the surprise in the Creightonians ' showing. The dark haired youngster placed first in the century dash and third in the high hurdles. BSf [259] TO s TRACK LETTERMEN 1928-1929 McALOON HOLLENBECK The 1929 indoor competition began with the Jays competing at the Western A. A. U. relays at Kansas City. In this event, Hollenbeck, the only defending champion to retain his crown, ran a beautiful race in the open half mile to win this event. The mile relay team finished second to Oklahoma A and M., while McAIoon qualified for the high jump but was forced out of the finals by a sprained ankle. At the Missouri Valley conference indoor meet, the Jays were forced to content themselves with fifth place. Hollenbeck won first in the half mile and second in the mile, Tesar was fourth in the shot put, Barron fourth in the 50-yard dash, and the mile relay team finished second. As the Blue Jay goes to press, the Drake and Dakota relays, a dual meet with Grinnell, and the conference meet have not been run, but from all indications several more trophies will adorn the club rooms when the season is over. 5H f 260] TRACK LETTERMEN 1928-1929 CAPT.

The champs, who were undefeated in League A, defeated the Junior Pharmacists, who held the same record in the B League, by a 27 to 13 score. Two leagues were formed under the direction of Freshman Basket Ball Coach Johnny Traut- man. League A was composed of the Commerce, Arts and Law colleges, while the Medics, Dents and Pharmacists made up League B. All games were played off in a snappy style and very few forfeitures were recorded. [264] TO s 5 MINOR SPORTS 731 JAMES GRANT EDWARD BRYANT The annual singles handball tournament was won by James Grant, Dental junior, as a result of his win over Sam Epstein, Commerce sophomore, in the finals. Both four-wall artists were at their best and displayed great form. The singles and doubles tournament were both run off in short order due to the efforts of Coach Johnny Trautman. Top honors in the all-university doubles handball tournament were won by Edward Bryant, Dental senior, and James Grant, Dental junior. The final game was closely contested by Frank Pellegrin and Sam Epstein, Commerce sophomores. Grant and Epstein were also the finalists in the singles and ended up in the same order. Harry Whittaker, junior Arts student, of Omaha, is this year ' s winner of the annual pool tournament. This tournament is open to every student in the uni- versity and it was not until a long series of elimina- tion contests had been played that Whittaker was accorded the championship.

Much of the success of th elnter-Fraternity Council is due to efforts expended by Father Sellmeyer, who was the first moderator. Being a fraternity man himself, as a member of Alpha Kappa Kappa medical fraternity at Jefferson Medical School, before becoming a Jesuit, Father Sellmeyer was able to put the fraternities on a much better foundation than previously. Since Father Sellmeyer has been gone from Creighton, his place has been taken by Father J. A. Herbers, who carries on this work in addition to his work as Dean of Men. Father Herbers ' principles in this regard are to let the organizations run themselves and work out their own problems, only acting in an advisory capacity. m (■- f 268 1 g F PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL 0 cer.f: Fred H.

At present, there are forty-six active chapters in the United States, with a total membership close to six thousand. Alpha Chi Chapter was established at Creighton in 1925. Although the youngest medical fraternity on the campus, it has kept pace with various other student organizations. Since its main purpose is the promotion of scholarship, one of its first official acts after its inception into the University, was to make a donation of one hundred dollars to the library of the Medical School. This spirit was further manifest by the fact that schoastically its membership averaged 91 per cent. [294] LAMBDA KAPPA SIGMA M boJP NlA M •9 koui 6 ■i w ,, K.6 Miss G. Krause, President Mrs. W. P.

Next year this organization will be replaced by Alpha Chi Kappa, a Greek letter organization. The Order of the Gold Cauldron was founded at Creighton University in 1926 to meet the needs for organization of the graduates of Jesuit colleges and universites throughout the United States. At the beginning of the present school year there were eight chapters in the country, but within the next year this number is expected to be considerably increased. The change is a nominal one only, because the principles of the fraternity shall remain as they have been since its foundation. A ritual has been drawn up and principles have been set forth which shall be upheld. Dean J. C Flynn is National Moderator of the organization, the office of which is at Creigh- ton University. John J. Gillin, Jr., is in charge of alumni activities, while local officers are W. Joseph Chladek, John Quinlan and Martin Jackley. [303] The C Club is an organization the membership of which is limited to the ' varsity men who have distinguished themselves in seme major phase of intercollegiate sports, such as football, basket ball or track. Ralph Mailliard, last year ' s football captain, is president. The activities of the C Club are most manifest in their dances during the school year, which this year is confined to the Hard Times Party, which during the past few years has grown to be the annual fun-fest of the University. 2 1 [304] £ a FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLUBS The Foreign Language Clubs have been organized during the past few years to aid those students interested in the various languages in obtaining a more thorough and working knowl- edge of the languages which they are studying in their daily classes. Many questions come up during the course of ordinary school work pertaining to classical works in these languages which cannot be readily discussed during the class periods, and in an effort to satisfy the interest shown the clubs were organized. Meetings take place once or twice a month, depending upon the individual club, and a pro- gram is generally arranged for the entertainment of the members. Much of the popularity of the language clubs is due to the efforts of Dr. Klammer, professor of German and French.

It was the first real rcund-up of Creigtcn grads in the California metropolis in years and the turn-out testified to the amazing growth of this Omaha-produced part of a fast growing city. The member- ship roll of the Creighton Alumni Association in Los Angeles new contains over eighty names, and grows every year. [308 £ CREIGHTON ORATORICAL SOCIETY The Oratorical Society, once famed for the Demosthenian eloquence it developed, has re- cently been transformed into a training camp for embryo debaters. Besides having the dis- tinction of being the oldest existing organization in the University, the Oratorical Society boasts of an exceedingly large membership roll. Weekly debates are staged in order to train the men in facility of expression and effective argumentation. Of late years a special movement has been fostered to bring as many of the recalcitrant freshmen as possible into the organization. This has resulted in a well-balanced group, one which has laid the foundation of many a future debate satellite. Frank P. Fcgarty again served as faculty adviser, with Ephraim Marks filling the post of president. LPHRAIM J.

During the past year much interest has been shown in religious questions, and the purpose of the Council is to supply first-hand and correct information in response to these questions. m. 9= [311] ff r HOW IT ALL HAPPENED ' (Continued from Page 266) April 4, Thursday — Ted Fiorito ' s Edgewater Beach Hotel Orchestra is hired for the Prom.

Omaha, Nebraska May They Give You as Much Pleasure Down Through the Years as They Did the Artist in Creating Them for You The majority of us, who have been attend- ing classes at Creighton, during the past nine mcnths, have not realized that we have been fellow-students to a very distinguished and ac- complished ycung man. This young fellow ' s name is Brown (for the sake of convenience, and we hcpe no one takes a personal offense to this), and he came here from about ten points west, in each of which places he was met by the sheriff, and informed the leaving time for the next train. At any rate, this young fellow picked up the Morning Clarion of his own home town and heard about Creighton, and decided that he would like to go to college, and that at last he had found the place he wanted to go. He was at somewhat of a loss as to how he would manage the situation, but having worn cut the thud chair in the town barber shop, de- cided that this would be the way that he would earn his education. This determination was further strengthened by an incident which oc- curred in the shop last summer. The Town Marshal came into the shop for a shave, w and Red (for that ' s the name he went by), started to lather him up, but the Marshal yawned, and the next day Red applied for ad- mission. Along came September 1st, and it was time for Red to leave. His folks came down to see him off, as did also little Julia Guff, who had been mooning around for the past two weeks, thinking of the prospect of some city Sheba taking Her Red away from her. Never mind, said Red, those city gals cain ' t get the best of me; I ' ll show ' em. This made Julie feel much better. 3 l [317] rsj Make Your Practice Pay Better Thousands of dentists find doing their own X-Ray work promotes systematic methods . . . accurate diagnoses . . . elimination of errors. THERE used to be more argument than now regarding the value of a dentist doing his own X-Ray work. That was before Dr. Cool- idge (inventor of the Coolidge tube) perfected the CDX. Now thousands of dentists have installed the Victor CDX. They are finding it increases their production by promoting systematic methods, by insuring accurate diagnoses, by eliminating a large proportion of errors. These dentists, since owning the Victor CDX, have improved month by month in their radio- graph technique. Through constant and increas- ing use, they have educated themselves in this important phase of the profession. And this course of education has not been an expense but a profitable investment. Costs nothing to investigate You may think you can ' t afford to bother with X-Rays. But that ' s what hundreds of dentists have said. Then they looked into the matter more thoroughly. Now these operators cheerfully ad- mit that owning a Victor CDX has made them better dentists ... has paid them dividends in cash and in prestige. It is so easy to own a Victor CDX. Don ' t let cost worry you. Make us show you that it needn ' t be considered. Just ask us on the con- venient coupon to send you all the facts.

The rest of the Police Force were leaving with Red for Omaha, as they had been laid off the day before, and thought Omaha might need a couple of more good and strong cops, in which they were not far from being wrong. Well, anyway, Red came to Omaha, and the first thing he saw was a Yellow Cab, which he promptly hailed, and boarded, after giving the directions that he was to go immediately to Creighton University. Driving through the downtown district, they went past the new Pax- ten Hotel, which was just starting construc- tion. He heard a lot of noise there, and asked the driver what it was. Informed that it was a Pile Driver, he promptly replied that he thought St. Joseph ' s Hospital was quite a ways out from down town. Well, at any rate, the Yellow Cab eventual- ly pulled up to the East Door of the Arts Col- lege, and Red got out and went up to the door and rang the bell. The Porter came to the door, and Red told him to inform Father Agnew - that Mr. Brown had arrived, and would like to be shown around the school. He was informed that Father Agnew was out of the city at the present time, but that if he cared to come back in a few days, he could see the registrar, who would introduce him to Miss Keyser, and in the meantime, he would have seen enough of the place to take him a week to recover. ? and then prety soon they wood put the bottul back in tnefe POCKETSc 7 I To appreciate this story, you must hear it first hand, as told by this College man, Sheik of Shieks, Shorty, the Sheriff ' s Nemesis, and the reason why Friday Night Dances at the [319] £ Tp DQCHEI TY DEEP ETCH CUTS k: Ml ' Wsr ' . , ' ■■■ . t 1 4 f • WWW OUR PLATES PROVE THEIR WORTH BY RESULTS CHAS.R.DOCHERTYCQ PHOTO ENGHAVERS ATLAN TIC 119 2 OMAHA 3 5W [320] Billings Dental Supply Company RsDhere Greighton 3Ken are liisoays c Welcome i8og Capitol dftvenue If it ' s made to wear in the mouth We make it well K.

It has been well proved that a pleasant, orderly class-room de- velops a love of order; that ap- pointments which minister to health create an appreciation of the importance of health; that sanitary and well-kept retiring rooms develop instinctive, self- respecting cleanliness. Thus the physical equipment of a school has come to be ranked by leading educators as second in importance only to the quality of the teaching and administra- tive staffs.

I am a privit right now but as the captin said to me oney the ether day wot with your maniac for origional drill you will perhats teech the majur a things or to. The ferst thing they lerned us was to do some kind of dants step of witch it is called right fates. The sargint saying very quitely is there any won here who can right fates. Of witch I razed my hand as you no I was always good as a speler. Step forrerd he replied to me and right fates of witch I camly replying ser I half no pensil or paper. The fellows all laffed at the Sargint at this and he sed you can do some make up drill tonite privit and you our the ferst man to be so onored this yeer. So that nite I stayed and the lootemant lerned me to clean the rifels. The next day we went out on the football field and scrimmaged. The captin says as scrimmagers and all of us run out and lay down in the grats very quite. Then he waves at us and says quitely a symbol and we all run back. It seens to me that we do all kinds of marching and never get there. And pretty soon you can expeck to see me as a corteral in the reserve offitsers trailing corts. as ever and anon, Redmond. Deer Joolya: As you have never went to collidg e you havint no idea what an assembly is light. The assembly is always held in the autotormium on cvry thersday at 1 1 oclot.

The pieano aint tooned very good and the fellows keep on yelling dont let it throw you gus and of sutch stuff as you come lots closer that time gus old boy. Then out comes the deem and tells us that we are very forntunate in having a man from the cort house tell us about the parmilentry law. Of witch a little fat fellow usually comes out and says I have oney a few werds to say and will make them breef and all of us make kind of groaming noyses under our breth.
