PLUT ADVERTISING MANAGER FOR EWO R D he spirit of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society is indelibly imprinted upon the faculty and students of Creighton through its ideals and traditions. If, in after years, those ideals are brought back to you through the memories recalled by this volume, its purpose will have been achieved. Miration To the Rev. J. A. Herbers, S. J., Dean of Men d Ls man, Jesuit, and friend, who through his kind- liness and devotion to duty has not only made the life of every student richer but has helped to make Creighton a greater institution. REV. J. A. HERBERS, S. J. CONTENTS Book I Administration Book II Athletics Book III Activities Book IV Organizations In flUmorium THE REV. WILLIAM H. AGNEW, S. J. 1881-I93I ' 7 JL Son of Ignatius JLt was a far cry in the life of St. Ignatius of Loyola from his birthplace in the castle of his noble father in the kingdom of Castile to his deathbed in the house of the Jesuits in Rome. Into that lifetime was crowded adventure, action, renown; and later poverty, chastity, obedience, service of Christ and his fellowmen, and the spreading of religion and education to the far corners of the world. It was also a far cry from the little farmhouse in Kansas, where Father William H. Agnew was born, to his saintly death in a northern hospital after two years as president of Creighton University. And in his life span of forty-nine years is found a record of service and achievement as a priest, an educator and an executive that marks him as a true son of Ignatius of Loyola — a valiant soldier in the army that had its first beginnings on the walls of Pampeluna. Throughout his life Father Agnew followed his spiritual father, Ignatius, with all the strength and energy of his keen mind and rugged physique. And when the ravages of an incurable disease had laid their cruel hold upon him, more than ever did he mirror the beautiful qualities that shone forth in the founder of the Society to which he had pledged his life. Father Agnew received his early education in the public schools of Kansas, and later in St. Mary ' s college, where the seeds of his vocation to the priesthood in the Society bore fruit. Years of study as a Jesuit seminarian — happy years of whole- hearted prayer, study, and play — brought him at last the great gift of ordination. New Faculty and Administration Building Creighton University 18 His mental acumen and masterly knowledge of the arts and sci- ences merited almost immediate recognition, and he was ap- pointed editor of Queen ' s Work. In this capacity he carried out the edicts of his spiritual father by spreading truth and knowl- edge to all parts of the country by means of the printed word. The completion of his term as editor saw him appointed chap- lain to various institutions, where he ministered to the un- fortunate with the same kindli- ness, zeal and charity that had characterized his entire life in the Society. His assignment as a college professor sent him to the class- rooms with those same sterling qualities, and endeared him to his students as a genuine friend and an able educator. Because of his knowledge and experience in the fields of sociology and education he was called upon to tour the Left to right in the picture above are General Desticker, Marshall Ferdinand Foch and President W . H. Agnew. The picture was taken on June 11, 1921, when Loyola Uni- versity of Chicago, of which Father Agnew was then president, presented an honorary LL.D. degree to the late commander- in-chief of the Allied Forces during the World War.

J 9 country as a lecturer for the National Catholic Welfare Conference, a task which enabled him to lend inspiration to thousands of hearers. But executive ability of the caliber possessed by Father Agnew was in de- mand, and he was called, in 1921, to the presidency of Loyola University in Chicago. Here, in an institution bearing the name of his model in religion, the full fruition of his years of preparation was realized. He erected five new University buildings, fathered intercollegiate athletics, and was instrumental in doubling the student enrollment of the University. He took his place among the leaders in educational and civic endeavor with an ease and naturalness that marked him as one of the foremost in his field. So it was that five years later, when an exceptional executive was needed in the presidency of Creighton University, Father Agnew was assigned to the post. His value to the University where he spent his last years was brought out in a remark made by his predecessor at the time of his inauguration: If I were privileged to select my successor, I should have selected Father Agnew; he is worth more to Creighton than a ten million dollar endowment. His greatest accomplishments of a tangible nature have been the erection of the Faculty and Administration building; the erection of a modern central heating plant for the University; the affiliation of the College of St. Mary and St. Catherine ' s Nurses ' training school; and enlargements and improvements in all of the other de- partments of the University. To Father Agnew, therefore, as a loyal son of Ignatius and as a gifted leader of a great University, the alumni, faculty, and students of Creighton, as well as the entire citizenry of Omaha and the middle west, owe a profound debt of gratitude. He was a true Jesuit both in character and deeds. A tradition in keeping with the intense loyalty of President Agnew was that of the flag-raising ceretnony on the annual Commencement day. The picture above shows the presidents of the senior classes presenting the national flag to their president on June 6, i )}0.

Your work of preparation has been long and tedious, but the results accomplished are a fitting reward. Go forth, therefore, firm in your determination to succeed. Success must be yours if you give yourself wholeheartedly to the task, if you are willing to make sacrifices, if you are willing to forget self in the best inter- ests of others, if you are willing to work for the greater and larger reward which the Giver of Gifts has prepared for you. May the success that is yours now be but a foretaste of that greater and more lasting success that will be yours if you spend your life as you have spent it during your time of preparation. Seniors, Godspeed. P. J. Mahan, S.J. XI The Board of Regents X REV. PATRICK J. MAHAN, S.J. CHARLES T. KOUNTZE .he board of regents, though little known to the student body, is in the background and is the impelling force of all of the accomplishments and progress of Creighton. Representatives on this board are the backing that the Uni- versity has in the outside world. Its membership is composed of some of the most prominent and successful business men of Omaha and the middle west, who consequently are an im- portant factor in the success of the University. They are the envoys of Creighton to the outside world. These men, although busy with their own interests, are always willing to make sacrifices and are painstaking in their efforts to establish the name of Creighton more firmly in the minds of the public. Through their many connections, they have done much to add to the progress of the University and make it a growing institution. Also on this board is the Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S.J., presi- dent of the University, who is the real representative of the interests of the University and student body. He is the man who can present them to the Board better than anyone else. The members of this Board are: The Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, president of the University; William J. Coad, president of the Omaha Flour Mills Company; Charles T. Kountze, vice-presi- dent and chairman of the board of the First National Bank; Fred Hamilton, vice-president of the Omaha National Bank, and Frank J. Burkley, president of the Burkley Envelope and Printing Company. I RANK J. UURKI.EY ■ ■ I RED HAMILTON The Board of Trustees T .he board of trustees, composed of some of the most promi- nent members of the faculty and administrative officers of the University, is the guiding hand in all of its connections and activities, both business and educational. These men are the real powers of the institution. The present success of the University is due to their efforts, and in their hands lies the future success of Creighton. Not once, in the past, have they failed to raise the name of Creighton higher among the great colleges and universities of the country. The members of this board represent all of the different de- partments of the school and each is a specialist in his work. As a result of their efforts a perfect harmony has been estab- lished between all of the departments. The leadership of the Board of Trustees was taken over by the Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S. J., who became president of Creighton upon the death of the Rev. William H. Agnew, S.J. Under Father Mahan ' s direction the Board has made much progress in bringing the schools of the University more closely together and has also established the name of Creighton more firmly among the universities of the mid-west. The Board, headed by the Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S. J., president of the University, consists of: The Rev. Thomas H. Murphy, S. J., treasurer of the University; the Rev. Eugene P. Mullaney, S.J., superintendent of grounds and buildings; the Rev. William J. Corboy, S. J., chairman of the athletic board; the Rev. Francis B. Cassilly, S.J., and Edward F. Leary, legal adviser of the board. REV. PATRICK J. MAHAN, S.J. REV.THOMASH. MURPHY, S.J. EDWARD F. LEARY, A. B. REV. W. J. CORBOY, S. J. REV. FRANCIS B. CASSILY REV. EUGENE P.

Administrative Officers X .he officers of Administration of Creighton are representative of the entire faculty. The scope of their activities embraces the welfare of the student body and the con- duction of their affairs and those of the University. The Rev. J. A. Herbers, S.J., Dean of Men, as representative of the student body, is the most influential member of this group. He always has the interests of the students at heart and his advice and counsel is always welcomed. The Rev. Thomas H. Murphy, S. J., though busy with the financial affairs of the University, is always ready and willing to help any student in financial difficulties. Representing the Athletic Department are the Rev. William J. Corboy, S.J., chair- man of the Athletic Board, and A. A. Schabinger, Director of Athletics. The Rev. Omer P. Sullivan, S. J., is director of St. John ' s Hall. M. Isabelle Keyser is the Bursar of the University, and Miss Clare McDermott is the Registrar. Lucille Reynolds is the Head Librarian. REV. OMER P. SULLIVAN, S.J. • A. A. SCHABINGER • CLARE MCDERMOTT • LUCILLE REYNOLDS • M. ISABELLE KEYSER DEPARTMENTS Floyd E. Walsh Dean The College of Commerce, Finance and Journalism Though it is the youngest department of Creighton, the College of Commerce, Finance and Journalism has become through its progress one of the most active on the campus. Its course of study, in the form of a four-year course, provides the graduate of this department with a thorough understanding of the theoretical and practical angles of business as it is in America today. The four-year course offered is comprised of two divisions, the first two years being devoted to the attainment of a broad cultural background and the remaining two in highly specialized commerce courses. Journalism students take practically the same course,with stress being placed on journalistic subjects the third and fourth years. The Chamber of Commerce is an honorary organization of the college, formed to encourage and reward scholarship, leadership and accomplishment along the lines of business and journalistic activity among the students. Since, in reality, the Chamber as such is only the board of directors of the main body, of which all students in the college are members, the Chamber becomes larger THE COMMERCE SCHOOL FACULTY z6 Rev. Thomas A. Egan, S. J. Regent with increased enrollment. During the past year the enrollment has increased from 138 to 32.8 with a corresponding enlargement in the evening school. The Chamber of Commerce proper is a parent organization to several sub- sidiaries which function along more specialized lines and in which membership is open to the entire student body and is restricted only by their specific training in the subject. Chief among these are the Ac- countants ' Round Table and the Economics Society. The Junior Journalism Club, also under the supervision of the Chamber, was formed to carry out the same purpose in the journalistic field. Prominent newspaper men are asked to speak before the club for the purpose of acquainting the students with the newspaper field. The University Press Club, although not connected with the Chamber, is because of parallel interests in active co-operation with the Chamber. The Commerce Club was first introduced in 19x5 as an organization composed of all students in the College of Commerce. The club was reorganized in 19x8 into a smaller and more effective unit, the Creighton University Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber attempts to meet the demands of the students for an extra-curricular activity for the college as a distinct institution. • ■ «  ■ ; 2-7 PELLEGRIN • McCABE • DUGAN BOYLE Dr. H. Von W Schulte Dean The School of Medicine The Creighton Dispensary serves to give the students of the Creighton School of Medicine a chance for actual practice in medicine while still under the direc- tion of instructors. The students working in the dispensary prepare a diagnosis and prescribe treatment for the patients under the supervision of members of the faculty. Where prescriptions are needed, the students write out a prescription which is checked by the supervisor and is then presented by the patient at the pharmacy dispensary to be filled. The prime purpose of the dispensary is to supply a clinic for the education and training of medical students. A doctor ' s work is largely performed in his office, a considerable amount is still necessary in the home, while only a rather small minority of his patients require hospital treatment. The training in the dispensary, with the associated visits to the homes of sick persons, too ill or too feeble to come to the THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE FACULTY r 1 1 1  1 1 1 f jr if Mr w mttttm W W T si ' r9 v - ' It ¥l « f i8 Rev. T. H. Ahearn Regent dispensary and yet not requiring hospital treatment, therefore corresponds to the bulk of the professional work the prac- titioner is called upon to perform. The dispensary, as far as possible, pro- duces the conditions and routine of a large and well organized group of offices, where many doctors representing the various specialties have convenient access to one another, and a patient, with little loss of time, can obtain all the expert examina- tion and consultation his malady requires. So, in the Creighton Dispensary, all the specialties have their quarters and equipment, and so far as possible are working at the same time. There is now a full complement of the most modern and costly diagnostic instru- ments, and trained technicians are available to supplement the judgment of the physicians. There is a well equipped laboratory, an X-ray department, and means of radiological treatment, for determining basal metabolism and electrocardiagram. In cases requiring hospitalization, the clinic assists in providing for the patients at St. Joseph ' s and St. Catherine ' s hospitals. The dispensary also maintains a social service division, which investigates the status of the patient ' s family and aids them in receiving medical treatment at little or no cost. -;. mmmmagm ■ 2.9 EGAN • McSHANE ■ MULLEN ■ COLLINS Rev. Joseph C. Flynn, S.J. Dean The College of Arts and Sciences A wheel depends a great deal on the hub which upholds the spokes. A uni- versity, also, must have a hub upon which the various departments depend. At Creighton that supporting unit is the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The Arts College acts as the hub of the educa- tional activities of the University, while the professional schools branch out from it to form the spokes. The College of Dentistry and the schools of Law and Medicine are dependent upon the Arts College for the preliminary training of its stude nts. Students taking pre- medics, pre-law, and pre-dental work are enrolled here for general work before going to the professional schools for specialization. The College of Commerce, although it gives its own preliminary courses, is some- what dependent upon the Arts College for science, mathematics, languages and history. Students in Commerce attend classes in these departments in the Arts College. In addition to the aid given to undergraduate departments, the Arts College con- ducts the graduate department which handles and supervises all of the post-graduate THE ARTS SCHOOL FACULTY 3° Harry F. Fore Acting Dean of the Graduate School work taken at the University. It also directs extension work and the teacher ' s courses and offers a summer school session. In the college itself, a more general course is given than at any of the pro- fessional schools. A student wishing a general cultural background rather than a specialized course must enroll in the Arts College. Work is also given in education, for which there is a separate department. Students may take a general course with requisites in cultural courses which leads to a degree of Bachelor of Arts, or they may take work in one of the major depart- ments and take a different degree. The college is still centered in the original building, although several additions have been built from time to time. Among these are the south wing which now houses the faculty and administration offices, the north wing in which the high school and the science departments are located, and the library extension between the north and south wings. Thus, wound up in the traditions of the past and the founders and dedicated to their ideals, the Arts College continues its work as the hub of the University and fosters a cultural education in the modern practical world. 3 1 SCHRUBBE • WITTLER ■ REYNOLDS • DODGE Dr. A. Hugh Hipple Dean The College of Dentistry Practical work in dentistry is required of all students in the College of Den- tistry. The students work under the direction of faculty supervisors in a clinic, giving treatment to the public during twelve months of the year. The Infirmary is equipped with facilities for eighty- six students to operate at one time, and there are about fifty students working at all times. The chairs are of modern make, and are equipped with fountain cuspidors and electric units of the most up-to-date type. There is also a plentiful supply of gas, elec- tric power and lamps, compressed air and hot and cold water. The members of the senior class are provided with individual instrument cabinets. There are about 4,000 patients, affording the greatest variety of practice, annually registered for treatment. The students are taught to meet and handle patients, and to diagnose new cases under supervision. A methodical record is kept, by which every step in the case, from registration to the close, is entered and endorsed by the demon- strators, and these records are filed for future reference. This system provides that at any time the amount and quality of clinical work accomplished by every THE COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY FACULTY 7 £ S 34 Rev. T. H. Ahearn Regent student is available for inspection. At the end of the year it can be readily determined whether the skill and ex- perience of each student entitles him to pass in the practical work. When prospective patients report for the first time, they are given a complete oral examination by students under the supervision of doctors. The type of work to be done, the probable cost and the quantity and quality of materials to be used are decided at this time. A nurse then assigns each patient to a student and the work begins. As each step is concluded, the work is inspected and corrected by the faculty advisors. In all dental work performed at the clinic, the most modern approved methods and instruments are used. One of the most recent additions to the instruments is an instrument sterilizer, in which each student can fit his tray. It is of a type used only in five other dental schools throughout the country. The technical skill partly acquired in the laboratories and the classroom theories are developed through work in the Infirmary. Here it is that the student lays sure foundations of careful, accurate and finished workmanship, and at the same time gains sufficient experience to diagnose his own cases and apply with certainty and confidence the proper treatment. 35 CORCORAN • MADDEN ■ MORGAN Howard C. Newton Dean The College of Pharmacy The greatest friend and aid of the doctor in his work for humanity is the pharmacist. The student pharmacists in the College of Pharmacy fill their place as the friend and aid to the student doc- tors, in their clinical work, by operating the dispensary. The dispensary is located in the medical building and the work is done by pharmacy students under the direction of a faculty supervisor. The prescriptions are written and signed by the student doctor and approved by the faculty director. The patient presents the prescription at the dispensary to one of the students on duty. The student enters the number of the prescription in a book and signs his name to show his responsibility. He then proceeds to make up the drug, which is checked by a registered pharmacist. On receiving the medicine, the patient is charged from fifteen to forty cents, unless he is able to present a certificate from the social worker connected with the medical clinic, which proves that he is unable to pay. The prescriptions are mostly non-proprietory, that is, originated for each specific case by specialists. They would average 90c if filled at drug stores at the regular rates. PHARMACY SCHOOL FACULTY 36 Rev. T. H. Ahearn Regent The working staff is composed of seven or eight students and the super- visor. The dispensary is operated daily from ii to ix a.m. and from i to 3 p.m. and is open from 10 to 3 on Saturdays. The record for the greatest number filled prescriptions was reached on February z8, when 103 were put up in three hours. A complete file of all the prescriptions filled out since the opening of the dispensary in 1905 has been kept. During the period the dispensary has operated, over xoo,ooo have been filed, with a yearly average of nearly ten thousand. During the past six years, from 192.5 to 193 1, the number has increased from 7,000 in ' Z5 to n,oiz last year. The total for this year is expected to come to much more than in the past as the monthly totals have increased to a great extent during the recent depression. A great deal of medicine is given away free each year. Ninety dollars worth of wholesale drugs were compounded and issued without charge in the month of Febru- ary alone. Last year merchandise worth $817.30 wholesale was given outright to needy people, and this year it is expected to be much higher. The dispensary puts into practice the theories of the classroom. By meeting and overcoming the problems presented in the course of the work, the student is trained to take over the responsibilities of his life work. 37 HENDRICKS • LYONS D, Duchesne College uchesne college, one of the affiliated institutions of Creighton University, is conducted by the Religious of the Sacred Heart and is the only Catholic college in Nebraska that offers a four-year course of higher education. The year 1930-31 was one of special significance to the institution because it marked the golden anniversary of the college and saw the completion of its new $450,000 building. On April 2.3, this new addition was dedicated by Bishop Joseph F. Rummel and today stands as evidence on the commendable work of its founders, the Religious of the Sacred Heart. The college is located at Thirty-sixth and Burt streets and offers a variety of courses of higher education to young women of the middle west. The foundation of the college dates back to 1881, when the first Religious of the Sacred Heart, under the leadership of Mother Dunne, answered the call of the Rt. Reverend Bishop O ' Connor and came from New York to establish the school in Omaha. From the very beginning, the school prospered and soon had gained a repu- tation throughout the country as an institution of excellent scholastic training and solid character building. From 1881 to 193 1 is not long as history counts time, but to Duchesne College and its followers and students, these dates have a special significance. Newspaper clippings in 1881 tell of the wonderful building that was erected by the Religious of the Sacred Heart and go into detail regarding the fact that the building was equipped with all the modern improvements of the day, including gas, steam heat and running water. These words only serve to bring out the character and initiative ..HI ! l 1 1 LCI 38 of the founders as only the most luxurious of homes in Omaha had such improvements at that time. But again in the past year, the newspapers printed stories of the im- provements that the new building of the college contained. This shows that from the date of its foundation to the present time, there has been a program of constant improvement at the institution. However, there is one angle from which there has been no change in the 50 years of the college ' s existence, and that is the system of education. The Religious of the Sacred Heart base their whole system of education on the great underlying principles laid down by their sainted foundress, St. Madeleine Sophie Barat. Buildings may change, new plans of study may be introduced, externals may vary as countries and laws demand, but at Duchesne all converge to give to each student worth of character, strength of principles and anchorage in its faith. Besides laying a firm foundation in the students in regard to principle and duty, the college also offers all the facilities of the most modern institution. With the facilities of the new building at hand, students are not wanting in any respect. A new gymnasium affords participation in all of the sports of the day, which include basket- ball, volleyball, hockey, riding, tennis, swimming, baseball, roller skating and others. The new auditorium provides an excellent place for the presentation of dramatic produc- tions. Five productions were sponsored by the Dramatic Club during the past season. Athletics at the college are of an intramural nature, with the members of the Athletic Association divided into teams, each one representing a number of other students. An outstanding feature of the year ' s activities is the crowning of the Queen of Mardi Gras. The identity of the queen is not revealed until the night of the ball, when she is announced and crowned before the assembly. She is attended by six princesses who are chosen along with the queen by popular student vote. So, in line with the program of construction of Creighton University, Duchesne College is continually building up not only its student body and its principles, but also the physical aspects of the institution. 39 BARRY • GILLAN • TINLEY ■ FRASER T The College of Saint Mary .he college of saint mary was organized in 192. 3, when pressing demands for higher education necessitated the teaching of college courses by the Sisters of Mercy, who for many years had been building up a large system of parochial and secondary schools in Omaha and other sections of Nebraska. The school has progressed rapidly from its beginning and has shown a considerable growth. Numbered among its graduates are many of the outstanding teachers in the public schools throughout the mid-west. Inthefallof 1 930 a commercial course was added to theCollege of St. Mary curriculum. Affiliation with Creighton University became effective May 1, 192.9. An agreement has been reached between the Creighton University and the College of Saint Mary whereby the college is affiliated with the University and incorporated into its educa- tional system, so that students of the College of Saint Mary are registered as students of the Creighton University. The College of Saint Mary continues to emphasize the educational standards which have characterized it since its organization. It accepts and retains only those under- graduates who show ability and intellectual earnestness. It adheres to tested and approved methods of instruction and sponsors its own student activities for the out- let of physical, intellectual and artistic talent. It may be truly said that every member of the faculty is outstanding in his or her particular field of endeavor. Many of them have been teaching since the organization of the school and have been untiring in their labors. They have been devoted in their efforts to maintain and improve the school and to serve all who strive faithfully to learn while at the institution. The physical education program this year was the most extensive in the history of the college with three new sports, hockey, bowling and track. ROGERS • MARTIN 40 St Catherines Hospital Oaint Catherine ' s hospital was organized by the Sisters of Mercy in 1910 on the bequest of a home at 811 Forest Avenue by Mrs. Catherine Nash. It was first a hospital for women and children, but shortly after its organization became a general institution. Because of increasing demands and lack of room, con- struction of a new wing was begun in 191 5. It was completed the following year, and nine years later construction on the entire hospital was completed. One hundred eighty beds are available, and if necessity demands, the number can be increased. The nurses ' home, which was erected in 192.6, is a modern building, designed to accommodate the needs of the students in the most efficient manner. It contains parlors, recreation rooms and a gymnasium. By an agreement effected by Mother M. Leo, director of nurses, and the Rev. William H. Agnew, late president of Creighton University, the School of Nursing of Saint Catherine ' s Hospital became affiliated with Creighton in January, 192.9. The uniting of the two institutions helped to increase the educational facilities of both. It made it possible to accept more students applying for admission to the Creighton Medical School because of the increase in laboratory facilities. A three-year course is offered by the School of Nursing at the completion of which a certificate of nursing is granted. The candidate, however, may receive the degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing after finishing two added years. While most of the time of the student nurse is taken up with practical duty, time is found for recreation. The nurses are represented by a basketball team which plays other women ' s teams throughout the city. The Sodality of St. Catherine ' s Hospital is under the direction of the Rev. John J. Keefe, S.J., of the Creighton faculty, and meets once each week for devotions. Dramatics are also sponsored by a nurses ' dramatic club and very presentable productions are featured throughout the year. 4 1 ZIMMERMAN ■ HAMBECK ■ ELLEBRECHT Creighton Memorial St Joseph ' s Hospital Jl orty-one years ago plans were formulated for what was destined to be one of the largest and best equipped hospitals in the middle west. St. Joseph ' s Hospital was made possible by Mrs. Sarah Emily Creighton who, attracted by the meritorious deeds of the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in carrying on the work which they had begun several years before in unpretentious and inadequate quarters, made a bequest of $50,000, thus providing part of the funds requisite for the erection of a new building. An additional sum was advanced by her husband, John A. Creighton, who was as much interested in the institution as was his wife. The humanitarian institution originated in the autumn of 1880 but was slow in progress, because of adverse conditions, until the new building was erected in 1891 and augmented with additional construction in 1908 and 192.3. With the later addi- tions came the most modern equipment obtainable and at present four hundred beds are available, which number can be increased if necessity demands. In order to keep pace with the other hospitals in the middle west, a School of Nursing was established and it developed so rapidly that it was necessary to construct a separate building for the ever-increasing number of student nurses. February 1, 1918, the nurses ' department was affiliated with Creighton University, thus giving the student nurses a chance to realize University training, and since then they have been matriculated by the University. The nursing course now offered is of three years ' duration and a certificate of nursing is granted. A Bachelor of Science in Nursing may be obtained with two additional years of work. All certificates and degrees are granted by Creighton University. October 16, 1930, opened a three-day golden jubilee celebration commemorating the praiseworthy progress of the institution under the tireless supervision and sacrifice of the Franciscan Sisters. A Pontifical Solemn High Mass began activities for the fiftieth anniversary affair which consisted of numerous meetings and banquets. COLLINS • JELINEK • SIMON 42- PUBLICITY Fraxk E. Pellegrix Director Publicity Department Since 1914 the Creighton University News Bureau has been maintained to keep constantly in the eyes and mind of the public the work that the Creighton University is doing along educational, cultural, religious and civic lines, and to carry on the work of public relations, advertising and publicity. These functions cover a multitude of activities, some of which are nation-wide in their scope. The chief duty of the director of the News Bureau is to carry on public relations work for the University. This has been found necessary for the best interests of pro- gressive educational institutions, as it tends to maintain a maximum of good feeling between the general public and the institution that is working for the advancement of the communities which it serves. Because of it manv voung men and women who might otherwise discontinue their studies following graduation from high school are encouraged to pursue University training, and additional students are attracted to the University which is concerned with maintaining the best of public relations. This same end is likewise attained by preparing and distributing for publication constructive news regarding the activity of the University and its students, in this manner acqu ainting the public with the steps taken to provide the best educational facilities and opportunities for the students. To cover the field properly the Creighton University News Bureau serves regularly more than seven hundred newspapers scattered throughout the country, with par- ticular attention paid to publications in the middle west. At least once a week general news stories, sporting stories and feature stories are sent to these newspapers, which are classified in lists according to the type of copy acceptable to each. National news gathering agencies, such as the Associated Press and the United Press, are likewise serviced regularly, as are several national feature and picture agencies. Connections are likewise periodically maintained with eastern and western cable stations for news of students who are attending Creighton from foreign countries and provinces of the United States. To keep abreast of current developments and to take advantage of modern methods in serving various classes of publications, the News Bureau maintains its membership in the American College Publicity Association, made up of members from the leading universities and colleges throughout the United States. 44 ALUM Dr. Robert Schemel President The Alumni Association Another year of achievement, one of the most notable in its history, has been recorded by the Creighton University Alumni Association. This organization, made up of all graduates, former students and faculty members of Creighton University, has for its purpose the promotion of good fellowship and cooperation among the alumni of the various departments, the increasing of the influence of the University in every possible manner, and the assistance of the University in its material development. Since the organization of the present association in 1916, it has worked constantly to achieve those ends, and thus to repay to the University, in a slight measure, the debt of gratitude owed by each of its members for the educational and cultural advantages derived from the years spent at Creighton. The governing body of the association is known as the Creighton Alumni Council and consists of a president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, and two representatives from each of the six departments of the University. Officers and representatives on the council for the current year are: Dr. Robert H. Schemel, D.D.S. ' 17, president; Patrick H. Kelly, Ph.C. ' xj, vice- president; Frank E. Pellegrin, B. S. C. ' 31, secretary-treasurer; Paul L. Martin, A.B. ' oo, and Judge J. M. Fitzgerald, A.B. ' 03, representatives from the College of Arts AN ALUMNI GROUP 46 Patrick H. Kelly Vice-President and Sciences; Edward D. Murphy, B.S.C. ' 2.7, and Edgar S. Murphy, B .S.C. ' 2.8, from the College of Commerce, Finance and Journalism; Dr. F. H. McGrane, D.D.S. ' 14, and Dr. Rudolph Yechout, D.D.S. ' Z5, from the College of Den- tistry; Frank Sheehan, L.L.B. ' 16, and William P. Kelley, L. L. B. ' 16, from the School of Law; Dr. W. L. Sucha, M. D. ' 08, and Dr. William H. Schmitz, M.D. ' zz, from the School of Medicine, and Osmond Flint, Ph.G. ' z8, and Stephen Parquet, Ph.G. ' zz, from the College of Pharmacy. The secretary-treasurer, a permanent officer on the council, is in charge of the Alumni office in the Administration building, where the work of the association is carried on. It is the function of that office to maintain up-to-date files of all graduates and former students of Creighton, to publish The Creighton Alumnus, the official monthly magazine of the association, to arrange for the annual Creighton University Homecoming, to promote all Alumni drives and other projects and to collect and dispense Alumni funds. The secretary-treasurer is assisted by a part-time secretary and by additional stenographic and clerical help whenever necessary. During the past year a system of class secretaries has been instituted, whereby one member of each class who has graduated from the University has been appointed to take care of Alumni promotion work among his classmates. After several months of operation the new system has been characterized as highly efficient by Alumni of- ficials, and is considered as one of the most progressive steps taken by the association since its organization. PAUL L. MARTIN . JUDGE J. M. FITZGERALD . EDWARD D. MURPHY DR. F. H. MCCRANE EDGAR S. MURPHY 47 Frank E. Pellegrin Secretary The class secretaries are at present en- gaged in a drive for increased member- ships in the association, which has been instrumental in adding materially to the number of those who are listed as paid- up members of the group. Annual dues in the association, which includes a year ' s subscription to The Creighton Alumnus, are $1.00. In addition to the general Alumni Association, many alumni clubs are flourishing in various cities throughout the country, wherever a group of Creighton graduates have banded together. It is the purpose of these groups to assist the association by keeping alive the Creighton spirit among their members after graduation, to direct worthy students towards the Univer- sity, and to provide mutual aid for those who claim Creighton as their Alma Mater. Though there has always been an alumni association at Creighton, the work of the association for the past year eclipses that of any previous efforts of the group. A more central organization, with the members always in touch with the directors, has created a closer relationship between all. The increased size and circulation of the official magazine has also been instrumental in keeping graduates of the University informed of the progress made at Creighton. The formation of the list of class secre- taries has enabled each representative to keep in touch with members of his graduating class. A great deal of credit can be given to the officers and the members of the council for their efforts in keeping news and interest of the University ever present to the graduate. DR. R. J. YECHOUT . WILLIAM P. KELLY . DR. W. L. SUCHA . DR. WILLIAM H. SCHMITZ OSMOND FLINT . STEPHEN PARQUET 48 STUDENTS UNION Edward D. Murphy Manager Since its conception nine years ago, the C reighton Students Union has proven to be the guiding force behind all student activities at Creighton. This organization, controlled by the students themselves, has not only made the life of each student easier, but has served to mould the whole of the student body more closely to Creighton ideals and traditions. The Union operates as a non profit-sharing corporation under Nebraska law, with the agreement that an annual report must be made to the Secretary of State. A full time manager, resting under a $5,000 surety bond, and part time advertising managers for publications, each held under a bond of $1,000, are employed. The Union directs the work of a student employment bureau which annually arranges for part or full time employment for about 400 men. A canvass of business houses throughout Omaha to encourage co-operation in the search for part time work for students is made at least once annually, and very effective connections are thus preserved. Students who desire to help themselves through school are enabled to find desirable work with the minimum of effort. Each applicant is assured of a position on the list, taken in numerical order, by an efficient card file system. A rooming house service is also conducted, by which students are enabled to find O CONNOR • WORTHING ■ O DRIEN ■ STANCYK ■ McCABE 5° John J. Grier President suitable rooms at reasonable prices. To assure the student that the list handed to him on demand is authentic, Union officials carry on a thorough inspection each year and thus insure the roomer of a comfortable and desirable home for the school year. Students have found the club rooms, maintained under the supervision of the Union, of great value during spare time. The rooms are open from 11 o ' clock in the morning until 9 o ' clock at night and answer the desires of members, with lunch rooms, reading rooms, radio entertainment, and billiard and card tables. Reasonably priced lunches, ice cream, and candy are sold at the club room store, and the rooms provide a general meeting place for students. The Union sponsors and supervises all of the publications under the name of Creighton. These include the Creightonian, student weekly newspaper; Shadows, student literary magazine; the Blue-Jay, Creighton year-book; the Creighton Hand- book and the Student and Faculty Directory. Files of publications are kept in the Union offices, as is a file of cuts and mats of the University activities recorded in the publications. This file is kept mainly for the reference of publications, athletic and publicity departments. MANEY • DANIELS • BICKLEY • WATHEN • McNALLY 51 The Rev. J. A. Herbers, S.J. Faculty Representative The Knights of the Blue-Jay, Creigh- ton cheering squad and pep organization, is sponsored by the Union. The organi- zation holds a cheering section at all University basketball games and instills school spirit into the audience. This group has progressed from an unstable organization, until it has become, under Union management, one of the most active groups on the campus. The Union also actively sponsors entertainments and gives annually five all- University dances. The Creighton Players, backed by the Union, present four plays every year, providing the students with drama of quality. All these activities are provided at very nominal cost and without profit in mind. The powers behind the Students Union are the Union Board of Governors, the Union Manager, and the faculty moderator. Two students from each of the depart- ments of the University are elected every two years by a student ballot to be members of the board. These men are chosen for outstanding merit, performance, and worth to the school. They work for the best interests of the University and the students, and attempt to be, as much as possible, true representatives of the student body for its best interests. Since the group is responsible for the appointment of editors of University publications, the students are faithfully represented and in reality choose the editors and managers. Besides carrying all the activities mentioned, the Union annually pays to students more than $4,500 in salaries, which help many students through school. It is young among other Creighton traditions, yet its influence is powerful and it has promised Creighton even finer things for the future. 52- SENIORS Arthur William Abts Randolph, Nebraska Doctor of Medicine Kappa Psi, President ' 25- ' 26, Phi Beta Pi, Pan-Hellenic Council, Presi- dent ' 30- ' 31 Frank Robin Ackerman Omaha, Nebraska Bachelor of Laws Phi Lambda Phi, Oratorical Society, Vice-President ' 27, Creightonian, Sports Editor ' 27- ' 28, Blue-Jay, As- sociate Editor ' 27- ' 28, Intramural Basketball, Class Vice-President ' 29- ' 30, Debate Squad ' 27, ' 28- ' 29 Kathleen V.

MICKEY Assistant Freshman Football Coach 98 FOOTBALL WILLIAM WORTHING Captain-elect 1930 VARSITY SQ1 l JL wl ■i GEORGE BURGER Co-captain RUDOLPH TESAR Co-captain Jelen, Quarterback ■ Clancy, Halfback c The 1930 Season reighton ' s two new coaches, Art Stark and Lon Graf, have completed their first season as football mentors at Creighton. The team, under their direction, won but one game and lost seven. In spite of this fact, the two new coaches experienced a successful season at Creighton. They established their system of coach- ing; they developed a group of promising underclassmen; and they became acquainted with Creighton and Creighton men. Two Creighton men were awarded all-conference honors and both of these will return for competition next fall, while one of them was but a sophomore and has two more years of varsity play. Prospects for next fall are bright and some measure of credit for this must be given to Coach Elmer Lang of the Creigh- ton freshman team. The Jay yearlings won three games in as many starts and devel- oped several men who will fit into the Creighton 1931 varsity lineup nicely. It is true that the Jays defeated only St. Mary ' s, a smaller school, that the Jays lost seven consecutive games, and that the Jays finished in last place in the Missouri Valley conference. But not onlv because thev have ■T ja H v B $r 1 w 1 i 91 sT ■ £ - • ipp 102. built up prospects for a winning season next year were the two Jay coaches highly suc- cessful. In losing those seven consecutive games the men on the Creighton team did not go out onto the field and allowtheiropposition to run wild over them. The Creighton team did not play haphazardly, half-heartedly. Instead the team, even in the last moments of the last game of the season when the powerful Oklahoma Aggie team held a 13 point lead over them, fought to the last minute of play. The compliment that Coach Stark paid his men at the alumni banquet, when the announcement of the election of Bill Worthing as captain of the 1931 team was made, when he stated that they were the fightin ' est group of men he had ever met, was well deserved. No Creighton team ever fought harder and under such adverse circumstances as did the team of 1930 and the spirit which carried that team through the season should prove an obstacle for the eight or nine teams on the Creighton sched- ule next fall. The Blue-Jays fought an uphill battle all season, but a close relationship was built up between Coach Stark and his men which should produce a winning team next fall. Archer, Guard • Herrig, Guard IO That the opening game on theCreighton schedule was a forecaster of the type of offense that Jay followers were to expect from the Starkmen throughout the season, may be seen in the fact that the Jays took to the air to down the Knights of St . Mary ' s in a game played on the Creighton gridiron on September 2.7. The Jays presented a well-rounded run- ning attack and their aerial play was fat- above the average. Worthing was the shin- ing light of the Jay backfield. Besides doing all the passing and kicking, the former Tech high ace did more than his share of the ball lugging. In the second quarter the Jays got their first tally when Worthing tossed a pass to Clancy for a net gain of 15 yards. Another heave netted 2.0 yards and placed the ball on the Knights ' 10-yard mark. Three line smashes netted but six yards, however, and on the fourth try the St. Mary ' s line melted and Creighton scored. Again in the final canto the Jays worked the ball deep into the Knights ' territory and line plays brought the oval to the 2.- yard line. The Jays became mixed in their signals here, however, and were penalized five yards for delaying the game. Clancy lost three yards on a try at right end but Clinton Dorwart, End ■ Sklenar, Tackle 104 on the next play again stepped over the goal line to pick one of Worthing ' s heaves out of the air. Worthing ' s kick was good. The Jays attempted nine passes and five of them were complete. None of the heaves were intercepted. In the punting department Worthing held a decided edge over Klenck. The Jay back ' s boots averaged better than 40 yards while the St. Mary ' s ace averaged but 30 yards. The Creighton eleven showed great de- fensive power and the work of Sklenar, Tesar and Furay was especially strong in this department. A heavy, powerful Kansas university football team, destined to become cham- pions of the Big Six conference, swept through the Blue-Jays for a 1.6-0 victory Saturday, October 4, on the Creighton field. It was Jim Bausch, the Kansas star full- back, who led the Jayhawkers to their victory. The versatile Kansas back did practically everything as his team was pil- ing up a four touchdown margin over the lighter Jays. Powerful line plays with the versatile Wichitan carrying the oval went through the light Jay line with clock-like precision and the lads from Mount Oread found little difficulty in scoring. Holland, Guard • Worthing, Halfback 105 But it was the work of the lumbering Jimmy that thrilled the onlookers. The Kansas star exhibited great power in all departments. He easily ran through the Jay line, carrying his zoo pounds nicely. He tossed deft passes into the arms of his team- mates. He punted long, high spirals that kept the Creighton eleven out of the dan- ger zone. In spite of all this the Creighton team put up a real fight. Bill Worthing played one of the best games of his career. His ball carrying against the beefy Jayhawkers was inspiring. Early in the first period, after the Kansans had kicked off, he gained, single handed, 30 yards on a series of short smashes. But the Kansans were too powerful to penetrate after this early drive. The Jay- hawkers employed only straight football in trouncing the Jays. Off-tackle smashes and line thrusts with a few passes inter- mixed was the extent to which the Jays unfolded their bag of tricks. The Creighton jinx was broken on Oc- tober 18 in the Creighton stadium when the Golden Avalanche of Marquette over- came a Creighton one point lead at half time and scored two touchdowns in the last half to beat the Jays 19-7. Crawford, Halfback ■ Allison, Halfback 106 The heavier Marquette team came to Omaha determined that last year ' s surprise win by Creighton was not going to be dup- licated, and the Avalanche proceeded to show the Omahans that it wasn ' t. Brousseau, Marquette back, was the star of the first Marquette drive to a score in the second half. His repeated jaunts around the Jay ends placed the ball on the Jay 8-yard line late in the third period and he charged around end for a touchdown on the first play. Again in the final period the Milwau- keeans romped through the Jay line for large gains. But thrust after thrust into the Jay line was turned back and the Avalanche scored its last touchdown on a 40 yard trek by John Sisk around the Creighton left end. The Creighton threat was staged early and as usual, was made through the air. Worthing ' s long heaves had the Marquette eleven worried for a time and they were again responsible for the Jays ' scoring. Furay, Tesar and Sklenar stood out in the Jay line while Worthing was the shin- ing light of the Jay backfield play. Dieg and Sisk were the high lights for Mar- quette. Before a Homecoming crowd of 10,000 people the Haskell Indian Braves again D. wis, Quarterback ■ Burger, Guard F. Furay, Fullback ■ Frick, Guard provided a myriad of thrills in defeating the Jays 19-11 on the evening of October 2.5 . After a scoreless first half in which the Blue-Jays distinguished themselves with brilliant defensive line work in the pinches, the Redskins started the scoring when after a long march featured by the plunging of L. Johnson, fullback, and Buster Charles, halfback, shoved the ball across. But the Jays were not downtrodden. With half of a very capable passing com- bination on the bench with a sore shoulder, the Jays uncovered a new pass catching ace in the person of Harold Crawford, Huron speedster, and the next touchdown was a result of his discovery. Burr nabbed one of Worthing ' s long ones on the Indian ' s nine yard line. Aided by a five yard penaltv inflicted on the Braves, Crawford pushed the ball over in three plunges to knot the count at 6-6. Soon, however, the Redskins countered. Weller caught a pass from Charles and a pair of plunges put the ball in position for Weller to scamper over on a four yard ex- cursion around the Jays ' left end. Once around the end, the Redskin had perfect interference. Again it was but a short time until the Redskins counted. Weller again scored 108 when he caught a long pass from L. John- son and dashed across the goal line. The gain of the play, which was one of the most neatly executed of the whole game, was over forty yards. The outstanding men in the Creighton lineup were Jelen, Worthing, Sklenar and Furay, while Weller, Charles and L. John- son were outstanding for Haskell. Taking advantage of every break, a righting band of Grinnell Pioneers took to the air to down Art Stark ' s Creighton Blue- Jay eleven 19-2. in a game played October 31 on the Grinnell gridiron. The Pioneers were outgained and out- passed, yet they took advantage of the com- pletion of a trio of long passes to push the ball across and obtain their advantage over the Jays. It was Russell Ruff, the Pioneer ' s three year veteran backfield ace, who tossed the team to victory. Ruff ' s long heaves to Thomas, his running mate in the Grinnell backfield, were almost directly responsible for his team ' s victory. One of his heaves was good for 35 yards. The Jays ' lone score came late in the third period when after the Pioneers had stopped a Creighton rush deep into their territory, Holden, Jay end, caught Thomas back of his goal line and downed him for a safety. J. Furay, Center 109 Two other drives by the Jays brought the ball inside of the Grinnell xo-yard line but the effectiveness that had marked the play of Worthing, McConnville, Crawford and Jelen when the ball was in midfield, was lost when the goal line loomed near and the Pioneers ' forward wall held the Jay backs for downs. The work of Humphrey, the Pioneers ' all-conference tackle, was especially out- standing in the stand of the Grinnell line. The big ace of the Pioneers ' line stopped everything that came his way and with Minier, Grinnell end, was the outstanding defensive threat of the Iowans. Thomas and Ruff were the outstanding men in the Grin- nell offense. For Creighton, Worthing, Allison, Craw- ford and McConnville were the chief offen- sive weapons, while the defensive play of Sklenar and Tesar was good. Outweighed 14 pounds to the man, the Creighton Blue-Jays just didn ' t have a chance against the Drake Bulldogs, and the co-champions of the Missouri Valley conference piled up seven touchdowns while the Jays were scoring one, winning the game play on the Creighton gridiron on November 8, with ease, 38-6. Kearney, End ■ Clare Dorwart, Halfback I IO The Bulldogs presented a powerful ag- gregation, one which made itself recog- nized nationally, not as champions, but as tough. The Drake eleven walked through the Blue-Jays with their extra 14 pounds and the light Jay aggregation had no chance to stop them. In the second quarter, the Bulldogs be- gan scoring and tallied three touchdowns. All of the markers were due to the brilliant work of the three backfield aces. Again in the third quarter the Drake eleven scored twice. This completed the scoring of the Des Moines eleven. But in the final period the Jays pushed a touchdown across. Worthing scored the marker and was instrumental in the drive which placed the ball in scoring position. The final period opened with the ball on the Jay 49-yard line. McConnville picked up three yards on an off-tackle smash and the Bulldogs were penalized 15 yards for holding. Worthing flipped a 2.z-yard pass to Kear- ney to place the ball on the Bulldogs ' 10- yard line. Runs by Allison and Worthing placed the ball on the Drake i-yard line from where Worthing lunged over. Worthing, Allison and Kearney featured the play for the Jays, while Briley at end, Wheir, Tackle • Hartman, Tackle Ill Don Carlos at center, and King and Van Koten in the backfield were the outstand- ing men in the Drake lineup. Don Carlos was chosen on Knute Rockne ' s all-western team at the close of the season. Even the backing of a large student booster delegation for the Creighton uni- versity football team had no effect on the Green Bears of Washington university and they proceeded to hand the Jays a last quarter 13-0 beating when the Jays invaded St. Louis November 15. And it is doubtful if the Green Bears would have administered that last quarter beating to the Jays if Wee Willie Wor- thing, the best passer in the Missouri Val- ley conference and the best offensive threat in the Creighton backfield, had not been cut down in action late in the third quarter. But after the Creighton team had lost Worthing, matters were different. When Washington attacks were stopped deep in Creighton territory, there was not the power in the Creighton attack that had been present before and no counter-drive could be started. The carrot-topped Wash- ington back, Saussele, was re-inserted into the Washington lineup and he danced through the Creighton line for two touch- downs. Dugan, End ■ Weiner, Guard III The blocking of Eddie Jelen and the line play of Bones Sklenar featured the game for the Blue-Jays after the injury to Wor- thing. The passing of the Creighton back- field ace was, of course, a feature up until he was carried from the field. Saussele was the backbone of the whole Washington play. Three Oklahoma Aggie backs and the absence from the lineup of the greatest scor- ing threat on the Creighton squad, Willie Worthing, combined to give the Jays their seventh lacing in a row on Thanksgiving Day, 13-0. When Wee Willie Worthing was cut down in the battle at Washington in St. Louis, the Jays lost much power from their passing attack and took the field against the Sooner Ags with a crippled offense. Against this the Panhandle Farmers pres- ented a varied attack with two hard hitting line crackers and a shifty open field runner. But the combination of the three found more than a little trouble in pushing across two touchdowns against the fighting flock. And the two touchdowns, as against Washington, did not come until the final quarter. Captain Jack Baker, playful Aggie plow- horse, romped over for two touchdowns after long marches down the field. The Tesar, Tackle • McConnville, Fullback JI 3 Foley, Tackle ■ Tierney, End Sooner line work, during this march, was instrumental in the scoring. The giant far- mers opened large holes through which Barham as well as Baker marched without difficulty. When the Creighton line threat- ened to hold back the charges of these two powerful Oklahomans, the slippery little Trigg, Aggie quarterback, broke loose, scat- tering the Jay defense and then recklessly rambling through the broken field he had created for himself, reeling off long gains. The crippled Creighton offense consisted mostly of passes with Joe Toelle on the hurling end. Larry Kearney and Ken Clancy did most of the receiving. Toelle ' s passes were directly to the receivers but lacked the distance that had marked the tosses of Worthing to Clancy and Worthing to Crawford. The Jay running attack found difficulty puncturing the heavy and experienced Ag- gie line. Outstanding work for Creighton was done by Bones Sklenar, Larry Kear- ney, Louis Rettenmaier, Eddie Jelen and Rudy Tesar. The Aggie play was featured by the work of Baker, Borham and Trigg in the backfield and Feed ' em Oates in the line. This year ' s freshman football squad was the best I have ever seen at Creighton, 114 said Freshman Coach Elmer Lang. We played three games and won them all. We won over the Drake and Kansas Aggie yearlings, which fact bears out my statement that the freshman material at Creighton was not surpassed at any school in the Missouri Valley, or even Big Six schools, Lang continued. Lang, serving his first term as freshman coach, produced what is generally regarded as the best frosh eleven ever turned out on the Hilltop. Particularly impressive was the work of Collin, Gordon, Almgren, Campbell, Rose and Carland in the backfield and Sheppard, Balderson, Johnson and Pickett on the line. The Blue-Jay yearlings turned in their first win at the expense of the Drake frosh. The game, which was played at Des Moines, ended with Creighton on the long end of a 12. to 6 score, due mainly to the fine work of Collin and Gordon, two very promis- ing candidates for the 193 1 varsity. Almgren, fullback; Sheppard, end; Johnson, tackle, and Pickett, center, also performed well for the young Jays. The Drake frosh presented a diversified attack and a strong defense and as a result they held a 6 to o lead at the end of the first half. The Bulldog marker came as the result of an intercepted pass, which was followed by a determined advance down the field. Lang ' s proteges tied the count, however, when early in the third quarter Collin ran fifty yards to a touchdown. The all-state back from Huron, South Dakota, started his run around left end, then cut back and ran straight down the field. It was one of the nicest runs seen in the Drake stadium all year, to quote the Des Moines Register. Coming into the fourth period with the score still deadlocked, Casebeer plucked a Drake pass out of the air and advanced the ball forty yards to the Drake 10 yard line. Casebeer and Almgren collaborated to carry the ball to the four yard line from where Collin went over for Creighton ' s second touchdown of the game. After this second marker the young Hilltoppers were content to resort to a de- fensive brand of ball and the big Blue line succeeded in holding the Drake ball- carriers whenever they seriously threatened the Jay goal line. Coach Lang used many reserves in the final quarter and they also showed to advantage. Bbh B .- - — - ' ■ -- . H9EST ■irv,! n cr. f A. 0 | In their second game of the season the Langmen scored an unexpected win over the Kansas State yearlings. The Aggie first year men were all-victorious in the Big Six and came to Omaha a highly-touted eleven. The final score, which favored the Blue-Jav frosh, 37 to 6, is a true indication of the power attack displayed by the Hill toppers. The Kansans scored the first touchdown when a low pass from center evaded the fingers of Collin and an alert Aggie lineman recovered over the goal line. The Jays came right back a few moments later, however, to tie the count. A steady drive down the field took the ball to the five-yard line from where Gordon carried it over. Collin ' s placekick was wide and the score at the half stood 6 to 6. Soon after the second half opened Campbell, heady little signal-caller for the Jays, sent a long thirty-yard pass to Gordon who received the ball on the five-yard line. In two attempts Collin succeeded in crossing the last white stripe and the Creighton frosh were in the lead, 12. to 6, never again to be headed. The line play of Sheppard, an all-state end from Algona, Iowa, and Balderson, 2.2.0-pound tackle, stood out for Creighton. The final game of the season, against the Trinity varsity, at Sioux City, ended with the Blue freshmen enjoying a 11 to o victory. The powerful attack of the Creighton yearlings failed to function as in previous games. The speedy ball-lugging quartet of Collin, Gordon, Campbell and Almgren, was expected to snow the Trinity varsity under an avalanche of touchdowns but a general letdown in the play of the Hilltoppers prevented any such exhibition. A second reason why the backs failed to function as well as in the previous two games may be accounted for by a rain-soaked field which slowed up their attack to a great extent. Once again the fine line play of Sheppard, Balderson, Pickett, Johnson, Bootjer and HufFwas a revelation to watch. Time after time the big Blue forward wall broke through the opposing line to spill Trinity ball-toters for losses. So with the wealth of freshman material that is showing up well in spring practice, and the majority of the 1930 varsity squad returning next year, prospects for a winning football team at Creighton in 193 1 are bright. In fact, it is the sentiment of all the coaches, that football prospects have never looked better on the Hilltop. ti6 BASKETBALL PABEN • Captain, MELCHIORS • SHERIDAN • PIEPER • TOLAN • BINDER Asst.

Coach A. A. Schabinger ' s hard-working Jays needed a win over Grinnell in the final game of the season to give them a tie for the title and this win was achieved on the night of March 6, by a score of 31 to 2.7 in one of the best games ever staged on the Creighton court. The Schabbites started the season auspi- ciously by downing the Pittsburgh Pan- thers, December 2.0, at Omaha. The final count found the Blues on the long end of a 2.2. to 18, thanks to the great work of their All-Valley forward, Maurice Van Ackeren. The former Prepster played a fine floor game in addition to leading the scorers. The work of three sophomores, playing their first college game, also is worthy of mention. The men were Jerry Dugan, center; Art Kiely, guard, and Law- rence Paben, guard. This fray, an inter- sectional contest with one of the leading Paben, Center • Worthing, Forward ST 1 I ' M ! J r • L. fl 9 L_i : L. - w f ■n 1 12.0 teams in the East, was one of the high- lights of the season for the Blue-Jays. In their next game, against Iowa uni- versity, the Jays looked like anything but world-beaters. This game, coming as it did three days after the hard battle with the Pitt Panthers, saw the Blue-Jays do an about-face. As a result of the inevitable letdown, the Blue and White aggregation dropped a hard-fought decision, 2.2. to 2.8. Van Ackeren again led the Creighton of- fensive and Koser performed in nice style for the Iowans. The first conference game for Creighton ' s 1930-193 1 quintet ended disastrously when their arch-rivals, the Washington univer- sity Bears of St. Louis, began their march toward a share in the Valley title, by down- ing a fighting flock, 2.6 to 2.3. Steideman and Sauselle led a persistent Bear attack. Binder and Kiely played well for Creighton. The second conference game with Drake, January 16, at Des Moines, resulted in a z8 to 18 win for the Blue-Jays. Captain Mel- chiors performed in great style for the Omaha quint, with nine markers in addi- tion to a superb defensive exhibition. Sheri- dan, reserve pivot man, afforded able sup- port to the Jay leader. This game gave Davis, Guard ■ Kiely, Guard III Creighton a .500 ranking and put them in the championship class again. On the following night the Jays invaded Grinnell for their second engagement of the season ' s initial trip. The result was a 30 to 16 win for Creighton and their second conference victory of the campaign. Van Ackeren again played brilliantly for the Schabbites, and Duncan, Grinnell ' s sopho- more sensation, performed in like manner for the Truesdale five. The Jays were forced to overcome a seven point lead late in the second half. The play of John Tolan, sophomore, who was subbing for the in- jured Worthing, was exceptionally good for the Omaha quintet. The last game of the trip, the one with Marquette ' s Golden Avalanche, Janu- ary 19, was checked up on the wrong side of the column when Budranus, the Mil- waukee tow-head, went on a scoring ram- page late in the second half to give the Marquette team a 12. to 18 advantage in the final tabulation. Van Ackeren again led the scoring parade and succeeded in bringing his season ' s total of points to 5 1 . The Blue- Jay star scored 2.5 points on the three game invasion of foreign territory. The next game, with Iowa State, January 14, at Omaha, saw the Blue-Jays giving Binder, Forward • Van Ackeren, Forward 112. their best performance of the season. Coach Schabinger surprised the 1,000 fans as- sembled in the Creighton gym with the expectation of witnessing a great struggle, by flashing a diversified offensive, built around Parker Stinky Davis, who had been appearing in the role of an obscure substitute. The former Central pilot gave the finest exhibition of his career, and as a result the Jays downed the Iowans by the overwhelming score of 44 to 16. Davis ' work reminded Blue fans of the star of the 1919-1930 quintet, Bounding Bart Cor- coran. Larry Paben, the Intramural gradu- ate, also gave one of the best exhibitions of the year in leading the point-gatherers. The Iowa State team was handicapped by the loss through injury of two of their regulars, Thomson, forward, and Dick Hawk, veteran barricader. On the night of February 3 , the Missouri Bengals invaded the Hilltop stronghold for a non-conference battle. The Missouri- ans, led by Charlie Huhn, mammoth pivot man, and Max Collings, speedy barricader, were away to an early lead which they managed to hold throughout the game. The final score credited the Columbia team with 30 markers and the Omaha quintet with but 10. Wee William Worthing, Weiner, Guard ■ Melchiors, Guard I2 -3 Creighton ' s foremost all-around athlete, led the Jay scorers with six points. The second jaunt of the season found Coach Schabinger ' s courtmen invading the Oklahoma Aggie stronghold for a pair of games, February 6 and 7. The first of these two contests went to the Aggies by a score of 2.4 to 2.8. Jakie Harrison, the Okla- homan ' s All-Valley center, led the point- gatherers with four fielders and a toss from charity lane for a total of nine points. He was closely followed by Highfill of the Aggies, who tallied eight times and Van Ackeren of the Blues, who annexed seven markers. The second Creighton-Oklahoma Aggie game was won by the former, when Mau- rice Van Ackeren, star of the Blue-Jay flock, set a season ' s scoring record with a total of 19 points. He was followed by Worthing of Creighton and Highfill of the Aggies with 10 points each. The final score was 39 to 31 favoring the Blues. Van Ackeren ' s scoring feat was then said by sports critics all over the circuit to be the outstanding individual performance of the Valley season. The Blues next journeyed to Columbia, Missouri, February 10, where they were scheduled to do court battle with the Mis- Tolan, Forward ■ Sheridan, Center 124 souri Bengals. The feature of this fray, which was won by Missouri, 19 to Z5, was the feat of Max Collings, star Bengal guard, in holding Maurice Van Ackeren, leading scorer of the Missouri Valley conference, scoreless. It was the third time in his ca- reer that the Blue-Jay luminary had been held without a point. Larry Paben and Bill Worthing, with six points each, led the Jay scorers. The next game on the Creighton schedule, the one with the Kansas Aggies, February 14, was postponed because of Father Ag- new ' s death. After some delay the two schools were unable to agree upon a date on which to play off the postponed tilt, and as a result the game was cancelled. On February 18, the Creighton squad of nine men packed up their belongings and headed for St. Louis and the all-important conference engagement with the Washing- ton Bears. Washington, minus the services of their two stars, Sauselle and Whitehouse, were the underdogs in the pre -game reck- onin g, but played great ball to emerge on top by a score of 19 to 2.7. Steideman, who was later destined to become an All-Valley guard, performed in a pleasing style for the St. Louis aggregation. Paben led the Creigh- ton attack which barely missed bringing victory and the undisputed conference title. The defeat by the Bears lowered the Hill- top colors to a tie for second place and con- siderably dimmed their title chances. Next came the intersectional games with the highly- touted Syracuse cagers. The first game, February 2.0, found the Orangemen playing superb basketball and as a result the New Yorkers made away with a 14 to 2.9 victory. Katz, all-eastern guard, and Capt. Lou Hayman led the Syracuse attack. In the second game with the New Yorkers, Art Kiely went on a scoring rampage and his 11 points greatly aided the Blues in their fight to even up the series. The final score found Creighton on the long end of a 30 to 2.4 count. Worthing, Van Ackeren, Paben and Binder also did nice work on the successful eastern invasion. Marquette came here for a game, February 2.5, their second of the season, and succeeded in earning a 2.1. to n victory in one of the most closely contested games seen on the Creighton court. Once again Art Kiely led the scoring parade with rive Dugan, Forward ■ Pieper, Center goals for a total of 10 points. Worthing and Van Ackeren also performed in great style for the luckless Blues. Chet Binder and Wee William Worthing did noble work as the Blue-Jays downed Drake, February 2.8, by a score of 2.9 to 11 . This win enabled Creighton to retain their hopes for a share in the conference title. The men of Schabinger still needed to win over Grinnell in the season ' s finale and the Oklahoma Aggies had to down the leading Washington five in order for the Schabbites to share the crown however, and things still looked black. Creighton took to the road for the next to the last game of a long, hard campaign. Kansas was the foe in a game, March 3, at Lawrence. The Jayhawkers, champions of the Big Six conference and boasting one of the best teams in the history of Mt. Oread basketball, were prime favorites to win. But the Jays, led by Van Ackeren, Worthing and Kiely, played great ball and were in the lead for a major portion of the game. Van Ackeren scored 11 points to lead the Jay force. Then came the all-important game with the Grinnell Pioneers, March 6, at Omaha. With Washington and the Oklahoma Aggies already assured of a part of the title, it was up to Creighton to win over Grinnell or drop to second place. Worthing with 12. points and Kiely with 11 markers, led the Creighton five to a well-earned victory. The Jays trailed throughout the entire fray until the final minutes of play when, with Grinnell leading tsj to 2.5, Kiely looped one in from far out on the court to even things up, 17 to 2.7. Then, with the crowd of z,ooo going wild, the Butte, Montana, sophomore got a nice follow in shot to put Creighton in the lead for the first time. Wee Willie Worthing then proceeded to sew up the game and part of the conference title for the Blue-Jays, by taking a pass from Van Ackeren for the final points of the game. The freshmen won all three of their games by a large margin, beating Red Oak Junior College twice and Luther College. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL SQUAD 12.6 TRACK c CROSS COUNTRY SQUAD The 1930-31 Season reighton did not have a championship track team, this year, but Coach Graf developed a number of promising undergraduates who are more than likely to be of championship calibre before the end of their varsity careers. Besides all this he revived interest in the sport on the Hilltop and it is likely to be a much larger sport in the future because of his efforts. 1931 VARSITY squad 12.8 SHERIDAN In the sprint department Cyril Wise, Joe Kula, Eddie Triba, Ken Clancy, Carl Allison and Harold Crawford were the outstanding candidates. Of these Wise, Kula and Triba were perhaps the fastest, but the others were close on their heels. Kula, who last year showed promise of develop- ing into a consistent performer, did not hit his stride until after the outdoor season was well under way and his failure to do so weakened this department. Ray Turner, Jim Kostoryz and Eddie Triba were the most consistent performers and from these men along with Mickey McGuire and Tom Gaughen, Graf chose his mile relay quartet. CRAWFORD ALLISON 119 WISE GAUGHEN Emil Kubat, Mickey McGuire and Ray Turner were the half mile aces on the squad and Kubat and McGuire also starred in the mile run along with Schwab and McGreevy. McGreevy, Schwab and Kubat also ran the two mile run with Kirchner. A dearth of good hurdlers was evident on the Hill during the past track season but Paben, Gaughen, Nielson and Pieper in the high barriers and Triba, Allison, Clancy and Crawford in the lows showed a great deal of promise and may develop in the next year. The outdoor schedule for the season included the Hastings Relays on April n, the Kansas Relays on April 18, the dual meet with Grinnell on May 16 and the Valley outdoor meet in the Creighton stadium late in May. t 3 o SWIMMING In spite of the fact that 1931 was only the second year of varsity swimming at Creighton, the Blue-Jays performed creditably as a team and Coach G. P. Wendell produced several swimmers who were consistent point winners throughout the year. At Grinnell, Iowa, January 16, the Blue-Jays obtained Z3 points to 61 for the Tank Stars of the Iowa School. In the A. A.U. meet held in Creighton Pool, February 6 and 7, the Blue-Jays placed second and third in the 400-yard free style relay and third in fancy diving. When Drake came to Omaha on February 17, Creighton won the xxo-yard free style and the second and third places in the meet, although Drake won 49 to 35. In the next two meets held by telegraph with Oklahoma Aggies and Wash- ington Uni the Blue-Jays splashed their way to several first places. March 13 and 14 in the Missouri Valley meet the Blue-Jays qualified for the finals in breast stroke, back stroke and fancy diving. Varsity swimming letters were awarded to Captain S. A. Kirkpatrick, Omaha; Captain-elect William Bergin, Honolulu; Hugh Schwaab,Sturgis,S.D.; Robert Duncan, Omaha; Frank Crowley, Des Moines, Iowa; Samuel Durr, Baker, Oregon, and Richard Peterson, Council Bluffs. Freshman numerals were given to Frank Crowley, Des Moines, Iowa; Earl Hallgren, Omaha; Earl Janett, Ramona, S. D.; John McClellan, Honolulu, and Abel Medeiros, Honolulu. INTRAMURAL T DENTAL ERESHMAN-BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS The 1930-31 Season hough intramural athletics are comparatively new at Creighton, the year of 1930-31 saw this division of sports take on a new significance with increased numbers of participants and considerable more interest being shown by students. J. V. Belford, as supervisor, did very commendable work in the arrangement of schedules and gave a real punch to all the divisions of sport. Something new was introduced to followers of Hilltop intramural sports this year with the addition of inter-fraternity basketball. The ten teams which entered were divided into two leagues, the Valley league and the Hilltop league. The first named circuit was composed of six teams while but four quintets were in the latter group- DELTA KAPPA DELTA FRATERNITY CHAMPIONS J 34 HANDBALL ENTRANTS The games were played off rapidly and the amount of interest shown has caused Duce Belford, director of the tournament, to consider holding the meet again next season. It is estimated that over 80 students participated in the tourney. The final game, which was played between the winners of the two leagues, resulted in a victory for the Delta Kappa Delta five over the Phi Rho Sigmas by a score of 14 to 10. This game was marred by the rough tactics of both teams but on the whole some good basketball was displayed for the fifty or more fans who turned out to witness the final game. Gruenther and Walsh, both all-Creightonian selections, played good ball for the winners, while Doyle and LeFor stood out for the defeated team. The score at the half favored the Delta Kappa Delta cagers, 8 to 4. After one of the best races in the history of intramural basketball at Creighton, TENNIS ENTRANTS 3 the Freshman Dents won the title. The Dentists defeated the Freshman Arts in the final game between the winners of the two leagues, the American and the National, by a score of 16 to 15. In the American league the Freshman Dents encountered what little difficulty they experienced in downing the Freshman Medics, who finished in second place. With all of the leading handball players in school entered, with the exception of last year ' s champion, William Stalmaster, who graduated, every indication pointed to a successful tournament. One of the early pre-tourney favorites was Morris Blacker who paired with Stalmaster last year to win the doubles crown. He was forced to share the limelight, however, with Sam Epstein, Commerce senior and the favorite, to win in the last meet last year. As the Blue-Jay goes to press the tennis tournament is just getting under way. The tourney is being sponsored by Duce Belford, director of intramural athletics, with the express purpose of seeding out the three leading players on the Hilltop. The winners of first, second and third places will be rewarded by a place on the official school team. A list of the leading players entered in the tournament included George McCabe, Commerce junior, Pueblo, Colorado; Leo Cassidy, Law sophomore, Omaha; Nathan Cutler, Commerce junior, Omaha; James Gleason, Arts sophomore, Omaha; Louis Gruenther, Law freshman, Omaha; Howard Loschke, Commerce senior, Kansas City, Missouri, and Charles Lavery, Commerce senior, Kansas City, Missouri. The golf meet was just getting under way when the Blue-Jay went to press and the few matches that had been played at that time failed to provide a true criterion of the respective entrants ' worth. The pre-tourney favorite proved to be the dark horse of the 1930 tournament, Loyal Martin. The young Iowan was favored by a majority of the golfing experts to upset the champion, Freddy Melchiors, should they meet in the finals again this year. GOLF ENTRANTS I36 CO ED SPORTS X Duchesne College .hrough the medium of sport activities, the physical education department at Duchesne College aims to develop not only proficiency in games and contests, but also to encourage a spirit of cooperation and active participation in the events which it sponsors. The Athletic Association, which was first organized two years ago, now includes in its membership the greater portion of the student body. It regulates affairs of a social as well as an athletic character. Another organization of an athletic nature is 138 the D club, composed of those who merit an award for individual excellence or consistent participation in school activities. The D ' s are awarded in May at the annual spring banquet of the association. A unique feature of the administration of athletic activities during the past year was the formation of the League of Nations. At the beginning of the year the student body was divided into seven teams of fifteen members each. The annual program culminates in the presentation of a Sports Review in which the attainments of the year are displayed. This year the occasion of the review was the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of the institution. An attractive feature of the review is a novelty roller skating drill in which sixteen girls participate. 39 X The College of Saint Mary .he physical education program at the College of St. Mary during the past year was the most extensive ever undertaken. The new sports added were hockey, bowling and track and field work. The program also included basketball, baseball and tennis. In the indoor program, folk dancing was stressed. Many girls were also interested in golf. Field hockey proved to be the most popular of the various sports and under the direction of Miss Jen Zitnek, coach and physical education director, the winter sport was a decided success. The College of St. Mary was the first Omaha school to sponsor teams in this sport. During the inter-class tournament the sophomores won the school title with four victories in five starts. Miss Genevieve Mitchell led the freshmen in the bi-weekly clashes, while Miss Catherine Franey captained the victorious sophomores. Miss Genevieve Monroe, sophomore, was chosen as the most valuable player at the conclusion of the regular playing season. The selection was made on the basis of ability and sportsmanship. Miss Monroe turned in many fine performances during the course of the season at both the center and right inside forward positions. She received a hockey stick for her efforts in the advancement of hockey at St. Mary ' s. This selection is to be an annual affair. Miss Marjorie Van Ackeren was chosen as the second most valuable player. The scores of the games were: Sophomores i vs. Freshmen o; Freshmen 3 vs. Sopho- mores 1 ; Sophomores 3 vs. Freshmen o; Sophomores 1 vs. Freshmen o, and Sophomores 5 vs. Freshmen 3. What was perhaps the outstanding play of the season was the goal scored by Lucila Quinones of Ponce, Porto Rico, when she made an advance of seventy yards, 140 through the tight freshman defense, by a series of drives, dribbles and a clever assort- ment of reverse strokes. During the entire season, from September until the Christmas holidays, two games were played each week at Western league park. Another popular winter sport was bowling. Twenty girls took part in this sport and, taking into consideration the fact that this is the first season that the game has been sponsored at the school, the season must be regarded as a decided success. The participants in the sport were: Lucila Quinones, Marie Hruska, Genevieve- Monroe, Honora Swiger, Martina O ' Donnell, Valva Kruse, Amy Henely, Wilmett Nelson, Gertrude Clayton, Faye Janecek, Eleanor Lynch, Mary Martin, Marrianne Josten, Tina Campagna, Genevieve Mitchell, Nancy Cantania, Kathryn Sumnick, Adeline Jirik and Marjorie Van Ackeren. High scorers for the season were Marjorie Van Ackeren, Kathryn Sumnick and Gertrude Clayton. The scores of Miss Van Ackeren were especially good, considering that the game was new at St. Mary ' s. Basketball drew a large number of students to its support and a varsity squad was chosen. The team played several games. The squad was composed of Marjorie Van Ackeren and Vivian Heffernan, guards; Tina Campagna and Evelyn Devaney, cen- ters, and Genevieve Mitchell and Faye Janecek, forwards. The reserve squad was composed of Margaret Costello, Gertrude Clayton, Marie Hruska, Mary Martin, Kathryn Sumnick and Eleanor Lynch. Basketball is one of the oldest sports at St. Mary ' s but the interest shown this season was greater than ever before. Baseball was probably the most popular sport at the College of St. Mary, with the exception of hockey. Many girls were out for the teams and evening practices were held four times a week. There was so much interest in the diamond game that it is thought that it may displace hockey as the leading sport at the school next year. The amount of interest in hiking was shown by the large number of girls who turned out and by the number of Sunday morning hikes. 141 St. Catherine ' s Hospital X .he st. Catherine ' s basketball team, coached by Dr. Anthony Demman, played six games during the 1930-31 season, winning four and losing two with winning scores showing a marked superiority over their opponents. The outstanding games of the basketball season were the victory over the College of St. Mary, March 10, and a loss and a victory against St. Mary ' s high, February il and 13. The first game between the nurses and St. Mary ' s high was won by St. Mary ' s by a score of 13 to 17. The leading scorers in the game were Agnes Brady and Olga Pucelik of the hospital, while Miss Ward and Miss Kleindorfer starred for St. Mary ' s. In the return game St. Catherine ' s defeated St. Mary ' s 19 to 2.5 in a close contest. The first half was a three-zone affair at the end of which St. Mary ' s was leading 18 to 15. The nurses came back in the second half, and by use of a court divided into two zones, made 14 points to their opponents 7. The close guarding and sharpshooting of Olga Pucelik and Agnes Brady was the feature of the play. Olga Pucelik was the high scorer with 19 points. Another outstanding game was the game with St. Mary ' s College sextette in which the nurses won, 41 to 14. Olga Pucelik again starred and was the outstanding player of the game. She made 13 field goals. Agnes Brady was second with 15 points. The nurses also played two games with the Jewish Community Center and a return game with St. Mary ' s College. The team members were Agnes Brady, captain, Olga Pucelik, Agnes Souvignier, Margaret Phelps, Lucille Gallagher and Sylvia Hambek. The team was coached by Dr. Anthony Demman. 141 A, St. Joseph ' s Memorial Hospital .lthough not entering a team in the Women ' s City League this year, the Creighton Training School basketball team enjoyed a successful season. The team was coached by Bart Corcoran, former Creighton University star. Marguerite Simanek, star of the 19x9-1930 team, again formed the major part of a fast offensive. She was ably assisted in a majority of the games by such stellar players as Wilma Kotab, Mary McGill, Bessie Dryak, Mary McConville and Adrian Lyons. Agnes Gilmore played in the first four games and firmly established herself as one of the best players at the school. The two outstanding conquests of the season were victories over the Nebraska Nurses by the close score of 2.2. to 19, and the last minute win over the K.C. sextette, 17 to 14. Both of these games were closely contested and the victor was in doubt until the last minute of play. The game against the Nebraska Nurses, the first game of the season, found Miss Simanek, star C.T. S. forward, leading her team to victory by a great scoring exhibition, and her clever floor game also resulted in the St Josephs ' team holding their precarious lead in the final seconds of play when the Nebraska Nurses almost overcame their lead. The other wins were scored at the expense of the Jewish Community Center sextette, St. Mary ' s and the Y. W. C. A. team. The Nurses emerged with two triumphs over the J. C. C. girls, the first game resulting in a Z5 to 14 count and the second affair going to the Nurses by a 11 to 8 verdict. Bart Corcoran ' s proteges also chalked up a pair of wins at the expense of the St. Mary ' s team. The scores were 34 to 2.1 in the first game and 2.2. to 18 in the second. The other win was over the Y. W. C. A. sextette with the final tally reading 56 to 18. In this latter game the Nurses ' offense functioned in almost perfect style and the final score fails to give a true picture of the team ' s respective strength, as the margin of victory might have been much greater had Corcoran chosen to leave his regulars in the game. 143 T„ Commerce Coed Sports .hough 1930-31 marked the first year that there was any semblance of athletics among the coeds of the Commerce school, a great deal of progress was made in the establishment of several teams, such as basketball, swimming and marksmanship. Soon after the beginning of the school year, several girl students under the direction of Miss Kendall of the Commerce school faculty began plans for the formation of a basketball team that would meet at least once a week for practice and that would be able to represent Creighton against the other teams of the same nature of the city. From the very beginning, a great deal of interest was shown by the coeds and before the basketball season ended they had a very representative team that played several games. The team was coached by George McCabe, commerce junior. Among the teams met during the season were Holy Name high school and St. Mary ' s high school. The entire group of the basketball team included Joan Pellegrin, Marjorie Her- mansky, Monica O ' Keefe, Helen Matous, Kathryn Downing, Maye Kelley, Lena Kratt, Helen McFarland and Rose Cangelosi. Miss Kendall supervised all practices. Besides basketball, the students spent a night a week in the Creighton pool swim- ming, and though no team was formed this year, plans are being made for one next season. The coed rifle team was formed soon after the Christmas holidays and from that time until the end of the school year, practices were held twice a week in the gym- nasium. The members of the squad were instructed in the various regulation army firing positions by members of the regular Reserve Officers Training Corps at Creigh- ton. Improvised ride pits were set up in the gymnasium where with the aid of mats, and regular target rifles, the coeds were taught the rudiments of marksmanship. Instructors for the group were Captain Frederic Dyer, Sergeant Edward Martin and Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Stanfield of the cadet corps. 144 THE SCHOOL yea r is com- plete and as it takes the semblance of another page of Creighton accomplish- ments, the following section is presented to make still more vivid those happenings that will always remain with the loyal Creighton student.

Murphy Editor The Blue-Jay The 193 1 Blue-Jay, like all other col- lege year-books, has been published to give the student and graduate of Creigh- ton as accurate a picture as possible of the school year that has just been com- pleted. Likewise, the staff has endeavored to keep the book up to the plane of ever advancing progress in college publications. The 193 1 edition has been completed with but one thought in mind, to give to the reader a clear and complete picture of the past year at Creighton. Work began early last summer, with the first embryo idea of what the book should be. The establishment of a theme, the planning of the different sections, the size and style, were but a few of the problems that were to be confronted. From that time until the present the staff has exerted every effort to present an edition worthy of the name of Creighton. The Blue-Jay is published on a set financial budget, with the expenditures for engraving, photographi c work, printing and binding each being placed on separate plans. By this method, the production of the book was kept always in sight of the editor and Union manager. Extra efforts were exerted to make the 1931 edition not only on a par with previous editions but to make it even better as to content, style and make-up. Particular stress was laid on art, which was necessary to depict the theme in a manner worthy of its character. JOHNSON • PELLBGRIN ■ DLUECHEL ■ VAN ACKEREN 166 Harry G. Plut Advertising Director As it is always the ideal of every editor and staff to present something each year that is new and different, the editors of the 193 1 edition discarded every time-worn rule and strived to produce a book that was individual, a book that was a Creighton book alone, and not a copy after some previous edition of another school. The staff was made up of students from the six colleges of the University and the affiliated schools. A certain amount of responsibility was placed on each staff member, so as to pre- pare them for future work on the book. Considerable praise must be given to Rev. J. A. Herbers, S. J., to Frank E. Pellegrin and to Edward D. Murphy for their help in the production of the 1931 edition. The staff was made up of: Joseph P. Murphy, editor; Harry G. Plut, advertising director; Frank E. Pel- legrin, associate editor; Edwin Van Ackeren, associate editor, and Herbert Bluechel, fraternities and clubs.

Pellegrin Editor, First Semester The Creightonian Besides serving as the official news medium of the University, The Creigh- tonian, weekly newspaper, affords stu- dents interested in journalism and jour- nalistic careers, an opportunity to gain practical experience. The staff organization follows closely that of a metropolitan daily. Four paid editors, a group of reporters, correspondents in all the affiliated schools and colleges and an advertising manager, insure a thorough coverage of cam- pus activities. Work in gathering the news begins on Monday and continues until Wednesday, when the paper is printed. Copies are distributed to each department of the University on Thursday morning. The popularity of the publication among the student body is attested to by the fact that the students eagerly await its distribution. Under the editorship of Frank E. Pellegrin, the first semester, The Creightonian maintained and improved upon the high standards of journalism that had been set for it in the past. Pellegrin, who served as editor for two years, raised the standards of the paper to a point where it ranked among the best weekly college publications in the country. Following the practice of appointing a new editor at the beginning of the second semester of the college year, the Students Union Board of Governors appointed Raymond F. Finnegan, a junior in the College of Commerce, Finance and Journalism, editor-in-chief, February i. O ' DONNIiLL • STANCYK ■ JOHNSON • MURPHY 1 68 Raymond F. Finnegan Editor, Second Semester Under Finnegan ' s editorship, the paper continued to maintain its high standard and in accordance with the aim of the paper, to introduce additional im- provements and features. A universal copy desk patterned after those used in many metropolitan newspaper offices was installed. The office facilities of the paper were enlarged and new equipment added to make the work of editing and writing the paper more efficient. The efforts of the editors and the staff were rewarded at the annual North Central Press Association convention held in March at Fargo, North Dakota, when The Creightonian was awarded first prize for being the best all-around paper in the conference and first prize for the best front page make-up. Creightonian Staff — First Semester: Editor-in-chief, Frank E.

The magazine accepts articles, fiction, po- etry, humor, and publishes the work of Creighton artists. Shadows is and always has been a strictly student publication. Except for very rare occasions the contents of the publication have been limited strictly to the literary productions of Creighton students. During the year 1930-31 Shadows took important strides forward. Striving to raise the standards of the magazine from those of a mere academic periodical, the editors placed stress on more and better illustrations, encouraging student art work, and concentrated on the production of better cover designs. The result was a magazine of open make-up, and one of interest to a greater variety of readers than ever before reached by the publication. In accordance with its policy of sponsoring student work and strengthening literary circles of the University, Shadows sponsored contests for short stories, poetry, and art NUCKOLLS 170 Thomas Reynolds Editor, Second Semester during the year. Prizes in the contests were cash awards. Judges for the con- tests were: Col. T. W. McCullough, Omaha Bee-News, poetry; Mr. Walter Grimes, Omaha World-Herald, short stories, and Rev. A. R. Schmitt, S. J., art. Material published in the magazine during the year reached new heights both for literary merit and general reader interest. Many of the short stories were of professional caliber, as was also much of the poetry. Student art work appearing in the magazine received favorable comment from critics. The magazine is financed through the Creighton Students Union and has its offices in the Union building. According to the customs of other years the staff changed at mid-year. The staff the first semester was: Editor, Robert R. Evans; associate editors, Thomas F. Reynolds, arts; Frances McEvoy, Duchesne; James J. Gleason, arts; Margaret Timlin, College of St. Mary.

The magazine is published for a three-fold purpose, namely, to encourage the students in the production of literary work, to train prospective teachers in the management of a school paper, and to keep members of the alumna; informed of the current activities of Duchesne College. The present magazine grew out of the Pukwana, which was first published in 1915. In September, 19x8, the name was changed to the Duchesne Monthly- The magazine features news of the college, short stories, essays, book reviews, an alumna; section and poetry. Two outstanding issues were published during the past year, the Eucharistic Con- gress issue, which by word and picture told of Duchesne ' s part in the congress, and the Golden Jubilee issue which recorded the progress of Duchesne during the last 50 years.

Contributions to the magazine are for the most part from the students themselves, with an occasional article by some member of the alumnx. The Golden Record is made up of short stories, articles, poetry, essays, and special feature articles and interviews with people of prominence. One of the outstanding features is the college notable section. In this section are presented two students who have shown marked ability and spirit during their time spent in school. The advertising and management is also taken care of by the staff members. The staff is headed by Miss Wilmett Nelson who is assisted by Helen Lawler, as sophomore editor, Marian Pollack, freshman editor, and Mildred Rogers, staff artist. Frances Roza, Margaret Costello and Martina O ' Donnell head the business staff.

Pellegrin Editor The Creighton Alumnus The Creighton Alumnus, a monthly magazine, is the official publication of the Creighton University Alumni Asso- ciation, and is distributed through the Alumni office to all paid-up members of the association. Its purpose is to act as the connecting link between the Alumni of the University and their Alma Mater. It strives to knit the thousands of former Creighton men and women together more closely with ties of memory, loyalty and affection, and to keep before them the ideals which were set forth during their Uni- versity days. The Creighton Alumnus was first published four years ago as an eight-page magazine, but during the past year its size was increased to twelve pages, and it is now published in the two colors of the University, blue and white. It contains news of the Alumni, where they are and what they are doing — news of the campus and athletic field, and news of the faculty. Worthwhile articles are published on various subjects, and a full page is devoted to editorials. The magazine awards committee of the American Alumni Council, of which Creighton is a member, complimented The Creighton Alumnus on a set of editorials with a refreshing crispness of style. Regular features of the publication include one or more special articles, usually written by an alumnus or faculty member; two pages of alumni notes; two pages of sporting news; a page of campus news, and several pages of newsworthy items of interest to alumni of Creighton. Engravings are used abundantly to illustrate the magazine. It aids in carrying the name of Creighton to far-off fields, as it is distributed throughout nearly every state in the Union and in several foreign countries and provinces of the United States. TheCreightonAlumnuslikewise assists in promoting various alumniand University projects, such as the annual homecoming, drives for scholarships and student loan funds, the formation of alumni clubs in various centers throughout the United States, and other movements of value to the school or to those who have gone out from it. 174 DRAMATICS The Rev. J. A. Herbers, S.J. Director Creighton ' s prominence in dramaturgy has been steadily rising since that event- ful day in the spring of 192.2., 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. For the first two years of the club ' s existence it was a very exclusive organization, having only ten members. It was thought that an unwieldy organization was too difficult to command and that it was easier for the producer to marshal the talent, limited but willing, and consequently they proceeded in this plan. The second year of the club ' s work marked a step forward. During Holy Week the Passion Play was presented at the Brandeis Theater. The cast included members of the club, members of the alumni and a few outsiders. In 192.7, however, the direction of the or- ganization 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 176 Bernard Sheridan Student Manager known as the Creighton University Dra- matic Club, and presented such plays as The Family Upstairs, The Rear Car, and The Detour. The year 1918 marked another step forward in the history of the club, the organization having assumed the name of ' ' The Creighton Players. ' ' Among others, three outstanding plays were produced, which were, Tommy, Lightnin ' and New Brooms. The players also entered the Northwestern University Theater tourna- ment, beginning on April 18. Here they pre- sented ' Night At An Inn, theone-actfantasy by Lord Dunsany. Father Doyle directed the play, and it was little surprise that the players won first prize. The play was so well liked and popular, that it was presented at the local Or- pheum Theater for one week following the tournament. Miss Anita Mae Marsh was the director during the 19x8 season, and also during the 177 i92-9 _ 3° season. She met with high success and put on many noteworthy productions. In 1930 the Rev. Joseph Herbers, S.J., dean of men in the University, became director and proved most capable during the 1930-31 season. Since Father Herbers has taken over the reins of the club, they have produced six very popular plays. The opening show which was held at the Knights of Columbus hall was, Is That So starring the comedy team of Hugh Higgins and Micky Maguire. The second show was The Thirteenth Chair, a very clever mystery play and well put on. The 1 93 1 season opened with Pals First, starring Doris Atkins. Something different was tried in the three one -act plays put on during Christmas week. They proved very popular and warrant the continuation of the idea. ' ' The Arrival of Kitty brought down the curtain of the 1930-31 season for the club. Truly Father Herbers deserves much credit for the time and patience he has put forth in organizing and building up the Dramatic Club as it is today. 178 MILITARY Hardin C. Sweeney Major Infantry The Reserve Officers Training Corps at Creighton dates from January 1919, when a unit was organized under Major Corbert Hoffman. The first corps sup- planted the Students Army Training Corps, which had been established at all colleges and universities to supply officers during the World War. In accordance with the National Defense Act of 1916, bv which the ROTC was created, its purpose is to train students during times of peace to lead men and to furnish reserve military strength should the need arise during times of national conflict. At the beginning there was an enrollment of 130 basic cadets and one advanced cadet. In 192.1 the first member of the corps received his commission as a second lieutenant in the Organized Reserves of the United States Army. Since then 141 graduates of the advanced class have been commissioned or have been given certificates of eligibility. Today there are 3x4 members of the two basic classes and 38 advanced course members. At the Dental school there is maintained a separate unit. Major George R. Hicks was assigned to take the place of Major Brannon in 1916, when he began to further the competitive spirit by starting inter-company field meets SECOND YEAR ADVANCED CORPS 180 Frederic V M. Dyer Captain Infantry and matching the crack platoons of Creighton against those of other schools in the Seventh Corps area. By interesting several Omaha business concerns in the corps, he secured their sponsorship. This year marked a number of pro- gressive changes in the corps. Class schedules were transmuted from a one-day-a-week period to a three period program two days a week for the basic, and three days a week for the advanced course students. The sixty-piece band, which presented a series of bi-weekly radio concerts that con- tinued throughout the winter and into the spring, besides performing a dual function by playing at many athletic and social University functions, were outfitted in new blue and white uniforms. Beginning a program to change the forest green uniform to correspond with school colors, basic cadets were required to wear white belts. Five honorary captains, representing each company and the band, were added to the honorary membership of the corps. A new, fully equipped rifle range was built on the upper floor of the gymnasium and a girls ' team was formed in addition to the University squad. Inter-company rifle matches augmented the list of cadet competi- tions. Members of the military faculty were assigned to the companies as tactical FIRST YEAR ADVANCED CORPS COMPANY A officers in the conduct of corps drill. These changes occurred under the direction of Major Hardin C. Sweeney, by whom Major Hicks was relieved as corps commandant in 1930. Instruction in subjects including first aid, rifle marksmanship, scouting, patroll- ing, military law, automatic rifle, machine gun and military history culminates in the late spring when the officer in charge of ROTC matters of the Seventh Corps area conducts a complete inspection of the parades and drill events in which the cadets participate. Several organizations give prizes yearly for the best private, the best cadet officer and the most meritorious work. One of the more strenuous features which Major Hicks inaugurated to impart an idea of war was a sham battle which the cadets staged on the outskirts of the city. A tear gas demonstration and assault COMPANY B 182. COMPANY C maneuvers underwent by each of the companies gave the desired realistic effect. After the erection of the stadium the rifle range was moved from the gymnasium to a place under the stadium and interest in the rifle teams was stimulated. Representa- tives from Creighton to the national rifle meet held annually at Camp Perry, Ohio, have brought back many awards each year. In 192.9 Major Hicks organized a basic cadet fraternity for the purpose of increasing interest in the advanced courses. This group, first known as Commandants ' Hundred, grew rapidly and was admitted to the Pan-Hellenic Council in 1930, under the name Alpha Phi Delta. The fraternity, in addition to furthering the work of Chi Delta Chi, has been instrumental in developing new projects and in raising the morale of the COMPANY D 183 J. J. FRASER Captain Infantry RICHARD STANFIELD Cadet Colonel corps. Chi Delta Chi, organized in 1913 as the Officers ' Club, besides sponsoring the annual Military Ball, functions to advance the work of the corps. Members of the advanced classes attend a six week ROTC camp at Fort Crook, Nebraska, each summer. Previously they were detailed to Fort Snelling, Minnesota. Cadets from the universities of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota as well as from Creighton assemble at the camp to experience the practical as well as the theoretical side of drill and tactics and to vie for honors in the various events. In 1917 a Creighton man won the prize for the most proficient cadet, the highest award of the camp. Each year the cadets figure in the shooting competitions held on the rifle range at Plattsmouth, Nebraska, participate in the inter-school athletic meets on the post field, and are given a taste of regular armv life. COMPANY SPONSORS It I ,( N • h DIKMOTT IIKiC.INs ■ SCHLEIER 184 D E BATE Lyle O ' Rourke Captain Creighton debating of the season of 1930-31 lived up to the high standards set by previous years. A total of twenty- one intercollegiate debates were sched- uled, the largest number in the history of Blue-Jay forensics. Three long trips were taken by the Creighton platform artists. The first was through Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma; the second was a jaunt through Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota, and the third carried Creighton debating fame through Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana. Two intersectional debates of outstanding importance were scheduled against the Universities of Pittsburgh and California. Creighton debators scored perhaps the best victory of the season when they defeated the University of California in the Creighton auditorium on February 16, by a three-to-nothing judges ' vote. The debate with the University of Pittsburgh was a non-decision contest. Other highlights of the season were the three Big Ten debates, with Purdue, Northwestern and Iowa University, and the radio debate held with Chicago-Kent College of Law over station WGN in Chicago. The record of wins and losses, although not quite as imposing as in previous years, still showed a decided margin of superiority in Creighton argumentative ability. 1 RKs • KAZLOWSKY • GLEASON • LUXFORD 186 John Walsh Manager Eight victories were recorded, as against five losses. The other eight debates were non-decision contests. A large variety of questions were argued during the course of the season, including the Smoot- Hawley tariff, disarmament, free trade, intercollegiate athletics, unemployment insurance and prohibition. Rev. O. P. Sullivan, S. J., professor of classics, as coach of debate, was in general charge of debating activities for the year, and conducted one of the most ambitious forensic programs ever scheduled for Creighton. He was assisted by Ephraim Marks, Law ' 31, who acted as secretary and assistant coach. Lyle O ' Rourke, Law ' 31, was debate captain. John Walsh, Law ' 31, as manager, arranged the many details for debates. Of the total of thirty-four candidates who tried out for varsity debating in the fall, thirteen saw actual service in intercollegiate competition. The traveling teams, who represented the University in the most crucial contests, were as follows: Southern team, James Gleason, Ansel Luxford and Thomas Quinlan. Eastern team, LyleO ' Rourke, James Fitzgerald and Ben Kazlowsky. Northern team, John Dugan, Emmet Blaes and Stanfield Johnson.

JOHNSON • FITZGERALD • SPRINGBORC • HOLLEY MUSIC Daniel Slezinger Band Director The ROTC University Band, under the direction of Daniel Slezinger, was one of the most active organizations on the Creighton campus, and the past year saw this group make strides forward in keeping with the general program of construction at Creighton. The band not only filled its position as providers of music for all drills and parades of the ROTC unit, but extended its activities still further. One of the outstanding performances of the group was a series of radio concerts given over radio station WOW. Eight concerts were given over this station, all meeting with wide approval. The group took an active part in all University activities and played at many school functions. They provided one of the features of the football games and executed intricate drills between halves, as well as playing school songs during the contest. Other functions at which the band played were the track meet on May 2.3, the football rally, the Agnew Loan Fund entertainment, the Military Ball and the funeral of the late Rev. William H. Agnew, S.J. The group also serenaded Father Agnew last fall and the Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S.J., president of the University, upon his arrival in Omaha. THE UNIVERSITY ROTC BAND 90 Mr. John Sheridan, S. J. Director The Creighton University Glee Club and the Creighton Quartet were formed prior to the Christmas vacation to meet the demand for such groups on the cam- pus. Since organization, the two groups have played an important part in musical circles not only at Creighton but have extended their activities to concerts over local radio stations and before meetings of various kinds throughout the city. A subsidiary of the Glee Club, the Creighton Quartet, was formed before the Christ- mas vacation, and has since sung on many occasions at different gatherings of the Alumni group, the Oratorical, and between acts of the Creighton Dramatic Club. The group has also sung before meetings outside of the campus. The quartet, which is under the direction of Mr. Sheridan, with Arnold Peter, Arts sophomore, Omaha, as accompanist, consists of: Francis P. McAleer, Dentistry sophomore, Albion, first tenor; Cyril A. Keitges, Law junior, Danbury, Iowa, second tenor; David Slobodinsky, baritone, and Thomas E. Havel, Arts sophomore, Mont- gomery, Minnesota, bass. THE UNIVERSITY QUARTET I 9 I 1 H t w ■b V b V Wte aB Mm rli Ulillmi B V I v B B 1 THE DUCHESNE CHORAL CLUB THE GLEE CLUB OF THE COLLEGE OF ST. MARY I 9 2 - SOCIETY The 193 1 Junior-Senior Prom V reighton ' s outstanding social event of the year, the Junior-Senior Prom, was held in the main ballroom of the Hotel Fontenelle on the night of April 17. From all angles, the 1931 prom was the most successful ever staged and was fea- tured by music of two orchestras playing alternately, and the presentation of all guests with favors. The climax of the evening came with the announcement of Merle Hunt, Den- tal senior, as King Creighton VIII and Miss Olga Yoder, Pharmacy senior, as his royal consort. This ceremony began at exactly 10:30, with the entrance of the princes and princesses of the court who placed themselves about the vacant throne. This was followed by the crown- ing of Hunt as king by John Grier, chan- cellor of the court. Immediately follow- ing this the princesses of the court en- MERLE HUNT-KING CREIGHTON VIII 194 tered and took their places beside the princes. Next came the queen, Miss Yo- der, who with spotlights playing upon her, took her seat next to the king amid the plaudits of the crowd of loyal subjects. The ceremony presented a beautiful sight to the 600 students, alumni and patrons who attended. Gowns of the princesses were uniform in color and de- sign and helped to lend dignity and color to the ceremony. Princes of the royal court were Her- bert Bluechel, Richard Van Ackeren, Gerhard Carroll, Richard Duggan, Jo- seph Holland, Lyle O ' Rourke, Merle Hunt, Leo Floersch, George Vickery, Lawrence Paben, Leo Welsh and William Schlegelmilch. Princesses of the cere- mony were the Misses Rita Molseed, Margaret Ryan, Mary Vogel, Regina Curry, Grace Harlan, Agnes Killian, Marcella O ' Meara, Bernadine Reilly, Kathryn Byrne, Olga Yoder, Kathryn Downing and Mildred Murphy.

After a concert by the Creighton University Band until 9:15, the cadet officers and ladies began the grand march. Two lines, facing each other, were formed, and Richard Stanfield, cadet colonel, announced Miss Foye and escorted her through a lane of arched sabers. At the conclusion of the march, with the two lines facing her, Miss Foye was presented with a bouquet and received the salute of the cadets to symbolize assumption of her new position. After the opening dance, in which the cadet officers and their guests participated, there was general dancing until 1 a.m. 196 Arthur Abts President The Pan-Hellenic Dance Three hundred and fifty Creighton fraternity men and their guests repre- sented the nineteen recognized fraterni- ties at the Pan-Hellenic dance at the Paxton Hotel ballroom, April 7. All of the fraternities were well represented in this annual formal gathering of University Greek-letter men. The main feature of the dance was the presentation of nineteen gold keys to the members of the Pan- Hellenic Council by the Rev. J. A. Herbers, S.J., dean of men and moderator of fraternities. Father Herbers was also presented with a key in token of his service and aid. Arthur Abts, president of the Council, made the presentation. The keys were awarded to James E. Garvey, Arthur Abts, Marsailles Versteeg, Lawrence Welch, George F. Bickley, David J. O ' Donnell, Albert T. Ridder, Michael J. O ' Connor, George O. Ritcher, J. F. O ' Connor, Lloyd J. Hubenka, Frank E. Pellegrin, Irving J. Weiss, Nathan Gilinsky, J. H. O ' Brien, Ben Kazlowsky, Herbert J. Bluechel and Donald C. White. The scheme of decoration consisted of shields representing each fraternity. The shields, which were placed on the wall around the room, showed the colors and coat-of-arms of each fraternity. A spotlight was played on each shield in turn during the dances dedicated to the different groups. PAN-HELLENIC DANCE COMMITTEE !97 AL FIORE Chairman THE REV. J. A. HERBERS, S.J. Director I The Agnew Loan Fund n accordance with the spirit of progress at Creighton, the Agnew Student Loan Fund was established in the University on January 4, of the current year, to provide a means by which needy and worthwhile students could obtain a college education. The idea of such a fund was suggested by the late President William H. Agnew, S.J., who, when presented with the national colors by the presidents of the 1930 graduating classes, said: The presentation of this flag to the University pleases me greatly. I hope the seniors of the years to come shall follow your example and possibly assist the University in such a way that the other students of little or no financial means shall some day experience the joy of graduation. Though Father Agnew had little to do with the execution of the project, he furnished the inspiration, which was ably taken up by the Rev. J. A. Herbers, S.J., and Al Fiore, who acted as chairman of the drive. These two men spent both time and energy in the project and saw it culminate into a success. Tickets were sold ranging from one dollar for students to unlimited amounts contributed by patrons of the fund. Under the direction of the deans and class presidents, picked students were given a certain number of tickets to sell, to cither patrons or fellow students. By this method the entire city of Omaha was covered for patrons to the worthy cause. Contributions were generous and as the closing date neared, the success of the fund was assured. Besides contributing to a worth) cause, the buyers of the tickets were entitled to one of two nights of entertainment in the Creighton gymnasium which consisted of vaudeville and novelty acts that were followed by general dancing to two orchestras. The names of the patrons and patronesses of the fund are to be engraved on a plaque which will commemorate the founding of the pro|cet. Although at the beginning the success of the fund was not secured, as time went on, interest was aroused in the cause and by the conclusion of the two nights of entertainment, $l,ooo had been realized. As this was the original goal set by the committee, the fund rested on its own laurels. Too much credit for its success cannot be given to Al Fiore, who as chairman, gave an unlimited amount ol time to the drive, and to the Rev. J. A. Herbers, whose untiring efforts put a real punch into the affair. The real significance of the project can be summed up best by the words of Creighton ' s late president after whom the fund was named. He said, My heart is filled with gratitude to the students, faculty and friends for establishing and making successful a student loan fund, a project so near and so dear to my heart. The fund is already in operation and main students are finding school life easier as a result of its estab- lishment. 198 FRATERNITIES $an=Sellentc Council Arthur Abts, President ■ Nathan Giunsky, Vice-President ■ DavidO ' Donnell, Secretary MEMBERS OF PAN-HELLENIC COUNCIL SUpfja €l)t appa Belta g igma ISelta Belta llappa Belta Belta {Efjeta $l)i HERBERT BLUECHEL MARSA1LLES VERSTEEG LEO CASSIDY GEORGE BICKLEY 0amma €ta (Samma Slpfja $f)t Belta appa $£(i LAWRENCE WELCH DONALD P.

This council is composed of students from all the colleges and schools of the University. In January, 192.7, the council was organized according to the plan formulated by the Rev. Daniel A. Lors, S.J., of St. Louis, national organizer of the Sodality and Catholic Youth movement in the United States. Work is carried on through a number of committees composed of students selected from the various departments. Each committee is under the direction of a chairman who serves on a central or directing board in conjunction with Council officers. The committees formed this year were: Publicity, speakers, Catholic thought, mission, eucharistic, our ladies, study club and Catholic literature. Each year the group sponsors a daily May devotion and a May Day celebration in honor of Our Blessed Mother, promotes a city Sodality rally in cooperation with the Omaha union, and each year collects and ships clothes, toys and other serviceable articles to the Indian missions of South Dakota. Since its formation it has maintained a book rack of over fifty booklets and religious magazines and papers in the University library, and one in the reading room of the Knights of Columbus club. Weekly collections for the promotion of mission and local work along spiritual lines has been carried on the last few years by this organi- zation in the religion classes in the several departments. All spiritual activities such as retreats, study clubs, rallies, May devotions and demonstrations, have constantly been encouraged by the organization. Officers of the Council for 1930-31 are: President, James McNally, law senior, Ireton, Iowa; vice-president, Joseph Murphy, commerce senior, Council Bluffs, and secretary and treasurer, Clarence Olson, commerce senior, Atkinson, Nebraska. 136 The Czech Club T, he czech club, the oldest language club on the campus, experienced a most suc- cessful and active year at Creighton, with its doubling in membership and increased activity. Its purpose, to bring together the Czech students of the University, promote friendship and create a cultural interest in Czech achievements, has been emphasized through talks by prominent Czech speakers and extensive musical programs. The Czech Club orchestra, organized and directed b y the club moderator, Rev. Francis J. Oborny, instructor of Czech at Creighton, presented weekly half-hour concerts over station WAAW on Monday afternoons at 4 o ' clock, and received many acknowledgements of interest and appreciation by radio listeners. Officers of the first semester were Rudolph Tesar, president; Jen Zitnik, commerce senior, vice-president; John Ruzicka, pharmacy sophomore, secretary, and John Tomek, law freshman, treasurer. At the beginning of the second semester, John Tomek was elected president in the absence of Rudolph Tesar, and Charles Burda, commerce sophomore, became treasurer. The club has done much to better the understanding between the Czech people and language and that of the American people. By its series of radio programs it has not only advertised the group but has presented very creditable music that still further brings an appreciation of Czech. As a result of its activities, students have come to a fuller realization of the lan- guage and the traditions of the country and a more friendly feeling was undoubtedly established between the people of Czech descent and the public.

The Knights, who evolved from two similar organizations, the Roaring Seventies, which was preceded by the Blue Loons, was organized in 1919 by William Beattie. Beattie was the club ' s first president and was re-elected the second year. The group is sponsored by the Students Union in co-operation with the athletic department. In addition to furnishing noise, cheers and various forms of entertainment at all athletic functions, the Knights sponsor and help with various other activities on the campus. At the annual Homecoming celebration they served the barbecue dinner and acted as guides at various points on the campus throughout the day. They also helped direct traffic and acted as guides at all of the football games. Interest in the organization had waned somewhat, but eighty-five new members were initiated prior to the athletic season, bringing the total membership to 12.9 and making a strong club out of an organization that was on the point of breaking up. The only requirements demanded of the candidates for membership are a strong pair of lungs, bountiful enthusiasm and school spirit and initiative. The worthiness of each candidate is tested by a week of probation ending with a thorough initiation. The emblem of the organization consists of two divisions, junior and senior. The senior emblem, worn by second-year members is a small Blue-Jay perched on a block ' ' C on a purple background. The junior emblem is a nine-inch Blue-Jay. The emblems are worn on a white jersey, which is the official sweater of the organization. The officers for this year are Edwin E. Van Ackeren, commerce junior, president; Severnius Kirkpatrick, law freshman, vice-president, and Paul Schneider, arts junior, secretary-treasurer. z 3 8 The Mathematics Club Oixteen charter members, organized in the fall of 19x9 by Prof. Alvin K. Bettinger, head of the mathematics department, formed one of the youngest organizations of the University, the Mathematics Club. It adopted a two-fold purpose, to benefit the mathematics department by bringing all those interested in mathematics together for a discussion and expression on problems and views of the science. In addition it endeavored to create in each student member a deeper interest and to give a broader outlook on the science in general. At the bi-monthly meetings a general discussion is held, papers are read by mem- bers of the club, and occasionally pertinent topics are developed by members of the faculty or by prominent engineers and other professional and business men. At the smokers, the programs consist of varied subjects embracingmanyfieldsofmathematics. A new feature was introduced this year by radio talks on interesting phases and current developments of the science. The club operates under a constitution and a board of officers who are elected in May for the following year. The present membership of twenty-two shows an increase of six over that of last year. Officers of the club are: President, Robert J. Myers; vice-president, James P. O ' Brien; Torrence Kay, secretary; and Henry Sterling, treasurer. Dennis Hall, Hugh M. Schwaab, Clarence J. Wittier, James O ' Brien, Manuel Hartz, Gordon Hannon, Robert Duncan, Samuel Steinberg, Harold Wohlner, Basil Lazure, John McClellan, James Smith, Joseph A. Flynn, Wendell A. Dwyer, Olga L. Dyba, Sil Hasek, Eva Case, Daniel Pflaum and Paul Schneider complete the roster of the club. z 39 The Dramatic Club U. nder the supervision of the Rev. J. A. Herbers, S.J., dean of men, the activities of the Creighton Dramatic Club have been many and varied during the past season. Two three-act dramas and several one-act plays were produced by members of the group. The first play of the school year was Pals First, a three-act drama by Lee Wilson Dodd, given November 6 and 7 in the University auditorium. A number of actors made their debut to Creighton audiences in this production. On December 17 and 18, the members of the Dramatic Club presented a group of three one-act Christmas plays. The first one was Fiat Lux, by Faith Vilas; the second was Dust of the Road, by Kenneth Sawyer Goodma, and the third was Father Lord ' s A Candle to Christ. Perhaps the most outstanding feature of the school dramatic season was the broad- casting over the radio of a series of one-act plays. With but two exceptions during the holiday season, the Dramatic Club broadcasted a play every Wednesday from November 5 until the last week of April. Each week, a student director was appointed and given the full responsibility for the direction and presentation of the play. A great many letters of commendation for the excellence of these plays were received at the offices of the club. Although the success of the broadcasts was due largely to the splendid acting of the participants and the fine discrimination used in the selection of plays, it was Lawrence F. Welch, president of the Dramatic Club, and an active participator in many of the productions, who was the directing force behind their success. To him fell the responsibility of selecting each week the student directors and of attending to all the details of broadcasting. Most of the radio plays were comedies. Such favorites as Paul Hervieu ' s Modesty, The Valiant, by Holworthy Hall and Robert Middlemoss, Moonshine, by Frank Wolf, and William C. DeMille ' s The Deceivers, were presented. 140 St. Mary ' s Sodality T„ .he sodality of the Blessed Virgin is an organization of Catholic students at the College of St. Mary, who are continually striving to be exemplary and worthy to be numbered among the Children of Mary. The society has a two-fold aim: the spiritual advancement of its members, and the promotion of good works. The principal devotions of the weekly meetings are the recitation of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin, and the Litany. From time to time a business session is held for the general discussion of the activities of the society. This year the Sodality has made marked progress. Not only were the meetings well attended, and bulletin boards cleverly and artistically arranged, but much was done to vitalize the work by means of interesting programs. Several one-act plays were given during the year, some were of a religious type, while others were comedies. The students were addressed several times by outside clergy. Illustrated lectures sponsored by the Students ' Spiritual Council were also featured at many of the meetings. The organization of the group is in accordance with the national Sodality move- ment, with five committees carrying on operations. Each of these committees is under the general direction of a chairman who arranges the programs of her respec- tive group. Another of the activities sponsored by the organization is the annual May Day, at which representative members of the organization are chosen to take part in the ceremonies of the crowning of Our Lady. M T, The Spanish Club he Spanish club has completed its sixth successful year as the outstanding lan- guage organization on the Creighton campus. It was organized in 1915 by F. J. Solis, recent professor of Spanish, who became moderator of the club. Up to that time there had been a need for an organization that would be of value to the student and not retain the aspects of the classroom. The club has succeeded in drawing into its organization men and women having more than an academic interest in the language. Following the semi-monthly business meetings discussions pertinent to Spanish speaking nations were brought up. In honor of Simon Bolivar, South American statesman and liberator, the Spanish Club gave a program open to the general public in which the activities of the man were made known. A short one-act play given in Spanish was a part of the program. During the past year Maurice Howard, instructor in modern languages, has been moderator. Present officers of the club are: George Roney, president; Emil Kranda, vice- president, and Leo Hoeffer, secretary-treasurer. The members who consistently attended meetings and were active throughout the year are: George Roney, Emil Kranda, Leo Hoeffer, Vincent Head, Rose Cangelosi, Louis Grant, Arthur Winnail, Bernard Conway, Maurice Langdon, Nancy Ralston, John Gladowsky and Charles Sherman. Professor J. Elzear Noreau of the modern language department assisted Professor Howard as moderator. 2.42. The Odontological Society Oince its organization in November 1930, the Senior Odontological Society has been performing a valuable service to the senior students in the dental college. The society was organized for the purpose of acquainting the senior students with the various economical problems confronting those in the dental practice. It has performed a service which of necessity could not be included in the curriculum of the dental school. Prominent dentists and physicians of Omaha and the middle west have attended the semi-monthly meetings and lectured upon various subjects not enlarged upon in the classroom. Among the speakers were Dr. John Wanock, prominent dentist of Kansas City and an authority upon dental economics; Dr. F. A. Sorenson, local presi- dent of a national dental society; Dr. Victor E. Levine of the School of Medicine of Creighton University, who gave a series of lectures on vitamins and their place in every day life, and Dr. J. Kline of Omaha. Dr. Frank J. Viner, superintendent of the infirmary in the dental college and pro- fessor of prosthetic dentistry, is the faculty sponsor of the group. The society plans to give a banquet each year for the outgoing seniors, all of whom will belong to the organization. Following is a list of members which includes all of the twenty-one seniors in the dental college: E. A. Benton, A. L. Cahoy, B. E. Corcoran, C. A. Cuva, K. J. Daniel, J.J. Dunlay, L. M. Floresch, E. O. Fuxa, J. P. Hanlon, L.J. Hubenka, F.J. Hublow, M. M. Hunt, D. J. Kennedy, S. J. Konegni, P. R. McLaughlin, T. M. Manton, S. Morgan, F.J. Ostentawski, F. A. Reilly, A. T. Ridder, M. H. Vertseig. S. J. Konegni is president of the society, F. A. Reilly vice-president and F J. Osentowski, secretary-treasurer. M3 The German Club T. .he german club of Creighton University is the oldest club on the campus, being organized in 192.3 and since that time has been active continuously in its work of promoting the language and interests of the German people. All students studying German are members, but unlike other such organizations, the club is open to all students of the University. By this method of membership it has been found that a better understanding is obtained between all of the members. Meetings are held from time to time, and varied programs are presented. The major achievement of the club is the presentation of German Night each year. This program is given entirely in the German language and consists of recitations, readings and musical numbers, as well as a one-act play given in German. A dance follows the completion of the program. This program is largely attended by the German people of Omaha and is presented in one of the city ' s German halls. The 1930 program merited for the club notable recognition by the seventeen German organi- zations of the city, which are united under a central committee. The club thus became affiliated with this group, and it is represented at the monthly meetings of the cen- tral committee by the faculty moderator, the president, and one other active member. The faculty moderator of the group is Professor Anton Grassl of the language department. Officers for the year included Joseph Claus, St. Joseph, Missouri, presi- dent; Arnold Peter, Omaha, vice-president; Clarence Wittier, Humphrey, Nebraska, secretary-treasurer, and James O ' Brien, Omaha, chairman of the entertainment com- mittee. M4 The Chamber of Commerce T, he commerce club was first introduced in 1915 as an organization composed of all of the students in the College of Commerce. The club was reorganized in 192.8 into a smaller and more effective unit, and is now named the Creighton University Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of this organization is to encourage and reward scholarship, leader- ship and accomplishment along the lines of business and journalistic activity among the students of the College of Commerce, Finance, and Journalism, to promote student interest in the problems of the commercial and journalistic world, and to form an effective working unit for the promotion and execution of such student activities as are conducive to the best interests and welfare of all the students of the college. The chamber attempts to meet the demands of the students for an extra-curricular activity for the college as a distinct institution. As a smaller, more centralized group, it forms the working unit of the school in any way in which it may be of service. Membership in the organization is honorary and is based upon character, scholar- ship and a manifestation of interest in the college and its activities. The active membership is limited to not more than twenty-four, nor less than twenty members, and one faculty member. Four members from each class are appointed by the faculty each year with the other eight selected at large. The Chamber of Commerce as such is only a board of directors of the organization of which all students of the college are members. The twenty-four students are selected for displaying the qualities which would make them desirable as the govern- ing body of the organization. The Chamber of Commerce proper is a parent organization to several subsidiaries which function along more specialized lines and in which any student with training in the subject can become a member. Chief among these are the Accountants ' Round Table and the Economics Society. M5 The Polish Club T„ he polish club was organized prior to the Christmas holidays by a group of interested Polish students and held its first meeting December 18 in the office of Dr. A. A. Klammer, professor of modern languages and literary adviser to the group. The number of Polish students in the University has been increasing from year to year and this year it was felt that the number was sufficiently large to merit organiza- tion into a unified body. The organizing was successfully done by Edward Stancyk, ' 31, who was ably assisted by Leo Frodyma and Joseph Konon. Stancyk was well rewarded for the efforts he expanded by being unanimously elected first president of the group. Frodyma and Konon are vice-president and secretary-treasurer respectively. Since the organization Stancyk has carried on the direction of the club in a com- mendable manner, having promoted two outstanding affairs of the club. One was the first guest night which was held in January with more than twenty guests present, and the other was a program staged in collaboration with the Polish Dramatic Club of South Omaha. The latter affair was attended by more than one hundred persons. In all his endeavors Stancyk received splendid assistance from the other officers and the various members of the club. When the organizers formed the Polish Club they had a definite purpose in mind. That purpose was the study of Polish culture and literature as it exists today. During the process of study American ideas are interwined with those of foreign origin and the resultant idea is used for the furtherance of study. Subjects of interest to the group are studied by individuals and reports are given at the various meetings. For its first year of existence, the club, judging by its activities and the activities of its members, is progressing very rapidly. Z46 The French Club Oince 1915, the year of its inception, the French Club has steadily moved forward along cultural as well as social lines until today it is a mature and active organization. Under the faithful guidance of Dr. A. A. Klammer, the willing support of the Uni- versity and the diligent efforts lent by the club ' s members, it has become one of the outstanding clubs on the Creighton campus. The activities of the French Club are manifested in the meetings which are held from time to time during the school year and the social affairs which it sponsors. These meetings are solely for the purpose of discussing the club ' s business and of planning programs which are in keeping with French life, ideals and traditions. They are made up of French recitations and lectures, dialogues in French, French songs, the presentation of French plays. The participants are students of French who wish to become more proficient with the spoken word. A program is presented at each of the social funtions. It is the club ' s contribution to the intellectual life of the University. The feature which distinguishes the French Club on the Creighton campus is the fact that once a semester it sponsors a club party. This social affair is open to all the schools connected with the University and the club looks to their cooperation for success. The present officers of the club are: Thomas J. Nuckolls, president; Helen M. McFarland, vice-president and John M. Dittrick, secretary-treasurer. Dr. A. A. Klam- mer and Prof. E. J. Moreau are the faculty moderators of the club. M7 The Oratorical Society Tb he creighton oratorical society was organized for the promotion of student interest in debate and oratory. The work of the society during the past year has been solely for that purpose and the society has succeeded in setting a standard of efficiency in its work which will stand. The society is composed of those students who are interested in debate and oratory and the programs of the society at its weekly meetings have been debates on subjects of intercollegiate debates. Officers of the society for the past year were John Walsh, law junior, president; Leo W. Smith, law freshman, vice-president, and Frank Liebert, arts sophomore, secretary. These three men have been prominent in debate and oratory at Creighton throughout their careers and their work as officers of the society was one of the reasons for its unprecedented success. The feature of the work of the society during the year was the oratorical contest, which it sponsored February 18. Emmett Blaes, law senior, Cherryvale, Kansas, was the winner of the contest this year. Blaes spoke on Popular Indifference, discussing the failure of a large portion of eligible voters to go to the polls. John Walsh, speaking on the Crimson Menace, was awarded second place, and Donald Holley, arts sophomore, was awarded third place on his oration, Abolition of War. The contests this year drew a record number of entries and interest in the results was high. The number of entries was so great that eliminations were held with but five men speaking in the finals. Weekly debates on important topics added a large interest in the society this year. The debates were among members of the society, and were the features of the meetings. Another feature of the work of the society was the sponsoring of the extem- poraneous speech contest. 4 Mitt A 148 The ROTC Dental Unit X .he dental unit of the Reserve Officers Training Corps is made up of members of the Dental School who in addition to their regular college work receive credit and experience by work under a regular dental army instructor. The Creighton unit is under the head of Major Eugene Milbourne, D. C. , D. O. L. , who supervises all work of the group. Major Milbourne has been connected with thc Creighton unit for the past four years. Each year, the graduating members of the unit receive commissions as first lieute- nants of the Dental Reserve Corps of the United States Army. The course of study as required by the Dental Unit is not unlike that of the regular medical department of the army and is chiefly concerned with questions of sanitation and hygiene. Particular emphasis is placed on oral infections that are prevelant in the regular army. Besides this the course includes a complete study and understanding of chemical warfare, especially in regard to poisonous gases and their ill effects. Members of the group are required to spend a certain length of time at summer camps where they meet the actual problems that arise in modern warfare and thus gain invaluable experience for future benefit. Even though the members of the unit have no intention of joining the regular army after graduation, the training acquired in the summer camps, and the lectures that accompany the course during the school year, make them better fitted to practice their profession. The members of the unit who have fulfilled all of the requirements of the course under Major Milbourne are: Joseph Dunlay, Samuel Morgan, Francis Hublou, Mar- sailles Versteeg, Frank Osentowski, Andrew Cahoy, Merle Hunt, Bart Corcoran and Kenneth Daniels.

The Sodality 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 Sodality has its own statutes and rules and is enriched with almost as many spiritual favors as the great congregation of the Prima Primaria in Rome, to which it has been affiliated. All students of Duchesne College are eligible to membership in the Sodality of the Children of Mary. The medal that each receives gives them entrance and welcome into every convent of the Sacred Heart, no matter in what part of the world they may be. Moreover, 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 progress but the advancement of every religious and civic activity within the sphere of their influence.

The group was established in the fall of 192.9 and since that time has done commendable work in standardizing the publications of the University and bringing its members to a truer realization of journalism as it is in the world today. From fifteen charter members under the leadership of Joseph Murphy, the club retained ten at the beginning of this school year. The influx of journalism students brought the total up to twenty members, or the present number. Freshmen are not admitted until the second semester and not until they have proved their worth by being actively engaged in some journalistic endeavor. The present membership consists of president, Frank E. Pellegrin; vice-president, Gilbert Melcher; secretary-treasurer, Emil Kranda; corresponding secretary, Herbert Prouty; Clarence Olson, Edwin Van Ackeren, Raymond Finnegan, Joseph Murphy, Edward Stancyk, Tom Reynolds, Joseph O ' Connor, Harry Johnson, Sidney Newlon, Prof. J. N. McCabe, Soren Munkhof, Leo Sonderegger, David Slobodinsky, Ralph Gaines, Wallace Dee and Cyril Shaughnessy. During the course of the year the club takes upon itself the task of acquainting its members with the work which they have chosen as their profession. In order to do this effectively, men and women prominent in some phase of journalism are selected to speak to the group on their particular line of work. Each individual is a specialist in his line and the talks reveal the work that goes on behind the scenes or the un- written stories that are connected with those which the public reads. The club, through its efforts to standardize University publications, has raised them to a higher level. Z51 Duchesne Dramatic Club X he dramatic club of Duchesne College, under the direction of Lucille McGrath, faculty advisor, was organized in October, 1930, as a result of a general interest in the school for dramatics. Charter members comprised those who had taken part in the plays presented the preceding April. Officers for the coming year, plans for organi- zation and admittance of new members were decided upon at the first meeting of the group. Admittance to the club is gained by appearance or production work of plays sponsored by the Dramatic Club. The committee system was used successfully during the year and enabled those interested in drama to take part in at least one production. The club has both regular and provisional members, the status of admittance of these being determined by the chairmen of the committees and the regular members. Thirty regular members were enrolled during the past year. Among the productions sponsored by the club during the past year were The Man in the Bowler Hat, The Two Lamps, The Wonder Hat, All on a Sum- mer ' s Day and The Twilight-Sain. Property work, make-up and costuming were done entirely by the members. Two teas were also given by the club to welcome new members and to entertain members of the Academic Dramatic Club. The club was also in charge of three plays presented at the Omaha community playhouse.

The Rev. John J. Keefe, S.J., of the Creighton faculty, is moderator. The student officers are Sylvia Michal, prefect, and Esther Heafey, assistant prefect. The organi- zation holds regular meetings under the supervision of the elected officers and the moderator. A number of religious devotions are held regularly by the Sodality.

The whole group joins in the singing of hymns, which are a feature of the services. In addition, a three day retreat is held by an out- side member of the Jesuit order every May. The membership for the year includes Ena Ashenfetter, Elizabeth Baumert, Agnes Brady, Kathryn Byrne, Angela Cavanaugh, Elsie Cerv, Marjorie Colgan, Mary Coyle, Frances Dimig, Ira Doll, Margaret Doran, Elanore Ducey, Margaret Duffy, Blanche Ellebrecht, Margaret Ellingson, Mary Enright, Margaret Faubel, Marie Fassbinder, Marjorie Fillmer and Katherine Finn.

F. X. Reilly, S. J., of Creighton University, has grown from a small organization to one which comprises all of the Catholic students of the school. The Sodality holds regular meetings under the supervision of its officers in co- operation with the direction of its moderator, Father Reilly. The organization engages in different religious devotions, such as the singing of hymns, the recitation of prayers, and the attendance of a special sermon every Sunday. The singing of the group is one of the features of the nurses ' chapel services. The officers now presiding are: Ellen C. Broderick, prefect; Anna M. Waldman, first assistant; Angela Cunningham, second assistant; Marie Kempker, secretary; Eulalia M. Gleason, sacristan; Mrs. Grace Shaffer, organist; Eleanor Van Ackeren, social director; Florence Darcy, first assistant social director, and Florence Kindig, second assistant social director.

Although the club is only in the second year of its existence, it has now become firmly established, as is shown by the number and quality of its productions. The work of the organization is directed by a faculty moderator, student officers, and a director. The girls finance their own club by assessments levied monthly on all members. The club is fostered by the hospital authorities. The plays were presented in the auditorium of the Nurses ' home, and furnished entertainment for student nurses, the faculty, and such patients as were able to attend. Saved, Woman of Character, Seven to One and Aunt Abagail Speaks were the presentations given during the year. In Saved Angela Cunningham had the lead with the part of Sue. She was assisted by Marie Kemp- ker, Madeline Kenney, Theodora Webering, Anna Marie Perry and Lillian Gabel. The cast in Woman of Character consisted of Bernice Roddewig, Helen Tushla, Gladys Artz, Sylvia Jungbluth, Loretta Leppert, Adrian Lyons, Margaret Cunningham, Evelyn Devaney and Dorothy Rich.

If these incidents are brought back again by the 193 1 Blue-Jay, its purpose will have been fulfilled and it may proudly take its place with previous numbers on the shelves of our memories. Though it is perhaps the opinion of every year-book editor that he, and he alone, is responsible for the completion of the volume, a moment of reflection shatters the supposition. To complete this edition required cooperation and help. It is fitting therefore, that acknowledgement be given to the following for their work in the publication of this book. To Harry G. Plut, advertising manager. To the staff, who worked tirelessly. To the heads of the departments of Creighton and its affili- ated institutions. To the following artisans of The Acorn Press: Mr. E.J. Cochrane, for his excellent advice and constructive criticism; Mr. Charles R. Lepicier, superintendent; Mr. Roy C. Kibbee, foreman of the composing room. To Mr. C. N. Nolen of the Docherty Engraving Co., ever-ready for service — to the artists, Mr. Shoup and Mr. Oehrle, who visualized an idea. To H. Matsuo and Nat Dewell, photographers. To Sam Babcock, of Weber-McCrea, manufacturers of the covers. To all others who aided in the production of this volume. Heartfelt thanks are given to three individuals for that little advice and kind word when things looked least promising. To the Rev. J. A. Herbers, S. J., Mr. Frank E. Pellegrin and Mr. Edward D. Murphy. And finally, to the Students Union Board of Governors and to the whole of the student body for the faith and confidence placed upon the staff.

More and more the leaders in the profession are installing their own x-ray units. They find that making their own radio- graphs enables them to render better ser- vice, to make their time more profitable. They soon become expert in interpretation. And this ownership of an x-ray unit proves to be not an expense, but an investment from which they get a steady yield. The Victor CDX Dental X ray Unit has been a great factor in creating this vogue for individual ownership. The Victor CDX hangs suspended from the wall. It is elec- trically safe. Both transformer and tube, in- sulated in oil, are enclosed in the tube head. There is no high tension current exposed anywhere. You and your patient can touch the CDX anywhere while it is in operation. There is no danger of shock. Let us send you the facts drawn from the experience of successful practitioners about this modern unit. It makes radiography almost as simple as photography. As you start out, you cannot afford to be without this important tool of your profession.
