She iprcsiOcnt ' s (message HE GRADUATES OF 1934 are going forth from Creighton to join the ranks of those who, by their ideals, their principles, their activities, are shaping the civilization and destinies of our country. It is the hope of Creighton that her graduates are going forth with the conviction that their most valuable possession is love for the social, moral, patriotic and religious ideals for which she stands, and that the true measure of success in their lives will be gauged by their loyalty to these ideals rather than by the amount of money they may be able to garner by reason of their knowledge, skill and industry. P. J. Mahan, S.J. The Board of Regents J_HE Board of Regents, representative of the con- nections that Creighton has in the outside world, is composed of some of the most promi- nent and successful business men of Omaha and the middle west. Though little known to the student body, the members of the Board of Regents are the impelling influence so necessary for the continued success and progress of the University. These men, aided by their executive ability and business connections, are able to establish and maintain the cooperation, confidence, and respect of the outside world; a factor so necessary in the success of an institution of higher learning. This group, though kept occupied by personal endeavors, are always willing to make sacrifices and are painstaking in their efforts to establish the name of Creighton more firmly in the mind of the layman. The Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S.J., president of the University, as chairman of the board, acts as the direct representative of the university faculty and student body on the board and presents their interests to the other members. The personnel of the board includes: The Reverend Patrick J. Mahan, S.J., president of the University; Frank J. Burkley, president of the Burkley Envelope and Printing Com- pany; William J. Coad, president of the Omaha Flour Mills Company, and Fred Hamilton, president Omaha-Council Bluffs Street Railway Co. Rev. P.J. Mahan, S. J. William J. Coad Frank J. Burkley Fred Hamilton [10] The Board of Trustees Xhe Board of Trustees, composed of some of the most prominent members of the faculty and administrative officers of the university, directs and supervises the educational and business affairs of Creighton. The members of the board, each a speciahst in his own particular field, handle their own work and cooperate with each other for the furtherance of harmony between de- partments. The present success of Creighton is due in a lar ge extent to the work of the members of the Board of Trustees. All hope for the future advancement of the uni- versity is placed in the competent efforts of this board. The tremendous advancement of Creighton in the past has been due to their constant endeavor and superior ability. As a result of their efforts, the departments of the Uni- versity have been built up until Creighton has become outstanding in the field of educa- tion. The board under the guidance of the Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S.J., president of the Uni- versity, is composed of: The Rev. Thomas H. Murphy, S.J., treasurer of the University; the Rev. Eugene P. Mullaney, S.J., superintendent of buildings and grounds; the Rev. William J. Corby, S.J., chairman of the athletic board and dean of men; the Rev. Francis B. Cassilly, S.J., and Edward F. Leary, legal adviser. Rev.P.J.Mahan Rev. E. P. Mullaney Rev. F.B. Cassilly S.J. Rev.T.H.Murphy S.J. Rcv.W.J.Corboy S.J. EdwardF.Leary S.J. S.J. [11] Rev. T. H. Murphy, S.J. Rev. W. J. Corboy, S.J.

Administrative Officers V OMPOSED OF REPRESENTATIVES of the entire faculty of Creighton, the officers of the administration function as the main governing body controlHng not only the student body but the University administrative problems as well. Due to the fact that their work brings them in constant contact with the student body, the administrative officers are the best known of all the university officials. The Rev. Thomas H. Murphy, S.J., treasurer of the University, is in charge of all uni- versity finances. The Rev. William J. Corboy, S.J., dean of men and regent of athletics, is in constant contact with the student body in the conduct of athletics and student affairs. The Rev. Francis G. Deglman, S. J., student spiritual counsellor, supervises the spiritual gviidance of the entire student body. The Rev. George A. Deglman, S.J., regent of the corporate colleges, acts as intermediary between the viniversity and the associated colleges. As director of athletics and head coach of basketball, A. A. Schabinger is one of the most important members of the administrative board. Mrs. Lucille Reynolds, librarian; Claire McDermott, registrar, and M. Isabelle Keyser, bursar, are other influential officers of administration of Creighton. Rev. Cj. a. Dc,4lm.in,S.J. A. A. Schabinger Lucille Reynolds Claire . IcUernioU [12] Rcv.P.j.M,ihan,S.J. Rev.

Administrative Officers V reighton ' s high scholastic rating among col- leges and vmiversities of the nation is dependent upon the president of the University, and the deans of the different schools and colleges. Heading this list in the point of years of service is Louis J. TePoel, dean of the schoDl of law. Under Dean Howard C. Newton, the college of pharmacy has become known as one of America ' s leading pharmacy schools. Dr. Floyd E. Walsh, dean of the college of Commerce, has continually stressed the importance of a sound background for a successful business career. Dr. Bryan M. Riley was appointed dean of the medical school upon the death of the late Dr. H. von W. Schulte. Dr. Frank J. Viner became acting-dean of the school of dentistry upon the death of the late Dr. A. Hugh Hippie. The Rev. John Danihy, S.J., is dean of the newly founded college of journalism, coming to Creighton after a long and successful term as dean of the college of journalism at Marquette university. As dean of the college of arts and sciences, the Rev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S.J., has charge of the largest department of the Unversity. The Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S.J., is dean of the graduate school, the summer session, and of University college. L.J. TePoel Dr. Floyd E.Walsh Howard C.Newton Dr. Bryan M.Riley Dr.Frank J. Viner [13] [14] , . . Dcpcirtmeiits Rev. John Danihy, S.J. Dean I The College of Journalism Xhe College of Journalism, the newest department of Creighton University, was organized and opened for student registration the begin- ning of the current school year, to meet the growing demands of students who wished a thorough and practi- cal education in journalism. The journalist is a recorder of life and its multifari- ous activities and it is important that he have a well rounded education in all subjects. To assure this Creigh- ton, through its varied curricula, presents a series of courses ranging from the natural and social sciences to certain branches of law. Among the subjects offered by the College of Journalism are poetry, literature, mathematics, foreign languages, art, history, political science, philoso- phy, logic, ethics, economics and an appreciation of all branches of learning so essential to the polished gentleman and the learned man. To supply this, the facilities of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Com- merce and the School of Law are employed, all being correlated with the special instruc- tion given by the Journalism faculty in the comprehensive four-year course necessary for the degree of bachelor of arts in journalism, bachelor of science in journalism or bachelor of philosophy in journalism. The faculty has been carefully selected to include only those who are equipped with university education as well as years of practical experience in the fields of newspaper and magazine work. The students in the College of Journalism are under the direction and supervision of highly trained instructors, supplemented by semi-professional lecturers recruited among the most successful practicing journalists in Omaha. To enable the student to acquire that experience which is so essential to immediate success, a complete laboratory system is maintained through the medium of a university Thu CoLLiiGi; OF Journalism Faculty [16} Frank E. Pellegrin Publicity Director newspaper, a literary magazine, a yearbook, an adver- tising bureau and a news bureau. Reportorial, editorial, mechanical distribution and advertising functions of these varied publications are performed by the students of the College of Journalism under competent direction of faculty representatives. Limited enrollment and individual, personal instruc- tion at Creighton combine to give the student a clearer insight and a broader view of the subject that can be acquired at larger universities where the quantity of students is regarded as the chief norm of excellence. The effects of journalism are perhaps more far-reach- ing than those of any other profession. There are no con- fines but the edges of the earth. There are no boundaries to hem in the individual and make his life uninteresting and boresome. No one can contact so many different groups and individuals as the journalist; no one can have equal oppor- tunities to cultivate friendships and acquaintances of merit, and no group can have the opportunities for travel and progress in human affairs as has the man or woman of the press. The student enrolling in the journalism college is given one professional course during his freshman year, this being introductory journalism to acquaint the student with th e journalistic field. Additional courses in history, languages, literature and mathematics to give the student a broader general knowledge. A wider scope in the field of journalism is offered the student throughout the last three years of the course. One of the most important considerations in the acquisition of a worthwhile educa- tion in journalism is that the student have practical working knowledge of the subject. Two of the largest and best managed daily newspapers in the Middle West are found in Omaha. These, together with the city ' s many weekly, semi-weekly and monthly publica- tions, as well as its advertising and publicity agencies, form an exceptionally fine labora- tory for the student, in which he may acquaint himself thoroughly with journalism as it is actually practiced. Keith L. Wilson Herman J. Dippel Paul L. Ernst Jack Truscott [17] Dr. Floyd E. Walsh Dean The College of Commerce J_HE College of Commerce strives to give the students a thorough training in the methods and fundamental principles of modern busi- ness, and at the same time to stress the practical appli- cation of these principles to the various executive branches of industry, commerce and finance. Located in the midst of the great trade, industrial and banking center of the great middle western agri- cultural belt, the student is able to obtain closer con- tacts with the actual business world and to meet the leaders of the various branches. Offering a full four-year course and dividing it into two divisions, the College of Com- merce offers to the students for the first two years a cultural business background. Dur- ing these two years, courses are offered in economics and accounting so that at the end of this time the student will be fitted to make a success in his chosen field. The final two year period is given over to specialized subjects in the fields of accounting, finance, industrial management, business organization, marketing, merchandising and business law. The College maintains a special department of research and statistics which is equipped with the latest devices, and supplementary courses, including business English, short- hand, and typewriting. The courses the student takes in preparation for the degree of bachelor of science in commerce impart to him a broad outlook on life and a thorough knowledge of the vary- ing motives that underlie business action. Instruction is planned carefully to give the student a correct survey of commercial facts and experience, to develop his powers of accurate analysis, and to prepare him for leadership as an executive. Unusual opportunities to develop executive talents are offered through membership in the College ' s special student organizations, which include the Creighton Chamber of TUL COLLLGL OI- CoMMtRCL FaCULTV [18] Rev. John Danihy, S.J. Regent Commerce, the Accountant ' s Round Table and the Economics Round Table, as well as the large number of fraternities, sororities and other university-wide stu- dent organizations. The evening division of the College of Commerce is a very important feature of that department. Eco- nomics and accounting courses receive special emphasis in the curriculum of the evening division. The ma- jority of the students enrolled in this division are work- ing men and women who are studying in fields related to their regular work. Creighton would never be satisfied merely to give the world Captains of Industry or Big Business Men. There are higher things in life — higher qualities which true leadership demands. To secure these it is necessary that thorough training be skill- fully combined with education in literature, philosophy, business ethics, logic, psychol- ogy and political science. Long experience has demonstrated that scientific preparation for a business career is immeasurably more valuable to the student than a long appren- ticeship, and paves the way for more immediate success. The student is given a keener vision and a firmer grasp of all that makes for success, and at the end of a few years of business experience will be farther advanced than he would have been with perhaps a lifetime of apprenticeship without specialized training. By offering courses of instruction which bring together in a systematic form the ex- periences of many successful firms, the College of Commerce attempts to prepare its students for the business profession. The college aims to provide students with scientific training and to aid them in developing executive ability and a professional viewpoint. Students in the College of Commerce receive the benefits of training under faculty mem- bers who are experts in their particular field, whether it be economics, finance, management or accounting. In addition, they receive the cultural benefits of study under experienced instructors in philosophy, religion and other subjects. Leo p. Morris Herman Jelinek Edmund F. Brick Edward J. Knapp [19] Rev. J. P. ZuERCHER, S.J. Dean The College of Arts and Sciences Xhe College of Arts and Sciences is the oldest department of the university and in many respects the most important. It not only trains its regular students in the fine arts and the correct phi- losophy of life, which can be accomplished only by a thorough acquaintanceship of all those standards that distinguish the Christian gentleman, but it also acts as a preparatory department for students who wish to specialize in other departments of the university. The purpose of the department is to impart to the student a well-rounded program of language, literature, social science, philosophy and history which serve as stepping-stones to the attainment of a true culture. With so many different and attractive standards of living in evidence, this department exerts every power to implant in the mind of the student the power to distinguish which of these standards is the correct one for him to follow. With this end in view, the department offers courses leading to the degrees of bachelor of arts, bachelor of science or bachelor of philosophy. Other specialized courses are offered to meet the requirements for entrance into the schools of medicine, law or dentistry. Educators have repeatedly found that eminence in the various professions is easier and more surely attained when professional studies are preceded by a throughly sound and broad education. They have also found that trained minds are better able to meet the trying situations of life when training is built upon the solid foundation of a thorough character building education. Combination courses make it possible for students to fulfill the requirements of more than one department and to earn two degree ' s before they leave school — the bachelor ' s degree and the professional degree. By regulating courses, the student may pursue one of The Arts College Faculty [20] Rev. George Deglman, S.J. Regent of Corporate Colleges many lines that will acquaint him with whatever field he particularly desires, whether it be science, history, English, modern languages, mathematics, sociology or philosophy. Realizing the necessity of a correct appreciation of life, the college folds back the pages of history in order that students may see the past again and inter- pret the present and future. The ancient volumes of the classics are unclasped revealing to the student the best of thought that came from the minds of the ancients. The corridors of philosophy are traversed and the student emerges with a thorough understanding of truth and a clear perception of correct channels through which to guide his conduct and thought. Besides the cultural training which it gives to hundreds of students yearly, the college of arts and sciences serves as the hub of university life. Housed in the administration building, the department is in close association with the administrative officers of the university. In close contact with the university library and research departments, stu- dents have at their finger-tips immense store-rooms of knowledge which are ever-ready for their use. Students of the College of Arts and Sciences also enjoy exceptional opportunities in the wise guidance and unselfish interest of the teaching staff. Advisers are assigned to every freshman and sophomore student at the beginning of each term. These advisers guide the student in his academic work, offer friendly suggestions, when difficulties arise, and give desired counsel in other matters of a non-academic nature. So, it can truly be said that graduates of the college of arts and sciences leave Creigh- ton with enriched minds, broadened perspectives, and above all, a true and correct under- standing of the value of life. GiLDo A. CoRTESE JosEPH H. GiBBONS Gerald A. McNamara Patrick a. Corrigan [21] Dr. Bryan M. Riley Dean The School of Medicine A-PPRECIATING the necessity for practical experience on the part of the student who is preparing for leadership in the medical profession, the School of Medicine maintains an elaborate clinical and out-patient organization, in which more than 30,000 patients are treated annually by advanced students under expert faculty supervision. The students working in the clinic prepare a diag- nosis and prescribe treatment for the patients. The train- ing in the clinic, with the associated visits to the homes of sick persons, corresponds to the bulk of the profes- sional work the practitioner is called upon to perform. In the cases where prescriptions are needed, the students make out the prescriptions, which is checked by the supervisor, and is then presented by the students to the pharmacy dispensary, where they are filled. The clinic now contains a full complement of the most modern and costly diagnostic instruments, and trained technicians are available to supplement the judgement of the physicians. There is a well equipped laboratory, an X-ray department, and means of radiological treatment for determining basal metabolism and electrocardigram. The work done by the student is kept in a daily record containing every step from registration to completion of the operation. By means of this system it is possible at the end of the year to determine whether the skill and experience of the student entitles him to pass in the practical work upon which his life ' s vocation is based. The medical clinic cooperates with the pharmacy dispensary and the hospitals affiliated with the University. The fact that many times as many students make application for enrollment as can be admitted, the demand for Creighton graduates as internes in the nation ' s leading hos- pitals, and the national and international reputations held by many of its faculty mem- The School ov Medicinl Faculty [22] Rev. John J. McInerny, S.J. Regcnf bers and alumni, bear testimony to the high regard in which the School of Medicine is held. The School of Medicine has always striven to incul- cate a spirit of inquiry and search for new truths and improved methods. It endeavors to prepare them for the demands of general practice and to keep bright in them the human traditions of the profession in order so that its motives of service might not be lost in the pursuit of learning and the acquisition of technical skill. The clinical and teaching facilities are supple- mented by the affiliation of four important hospitals. They are the Creighton Memorial St. Joseph ' s hospital, St. Catherine ' s hospital, Mercy hospital, and St. Ber- nard ' s hospital. The junior and senior students gain a great deal of knowledge and experience by observa- tion at the four hospitals and by working on cases in connection with the hospital. Each of the hospitals offers some special methods and types of cases and each has staff members who are of benefit to the medical student. Saint Bernard ' s hospital offers the student interested in mental and nervous diseases a chance for observation in that field which is bettered by no other institution in the middle west. In addition to the affiliated hospitals, the medical school has working agreements with the county hospitals of Douglas and Pottawattamie counties. A number of the graduates receive interneships in these hospitals while some of the out- standing junior students hold junior interneships there. Medicine is considered by many as one of the most complex, if not the most com- plex secular subject, within the domain of education. All means of prevention, diag- nosis, and alleviation or cure of disease, be those means physical, chemical or mechanical are essentially included in its study, practice and research. As the physician is one of the most sacred trusts in lay activities, he should be produced from the best minds, the best educated and the best characters available. John T. Fochtman Carl Formanack Sylvester Pawol Frank. ' . Brown [23] Dr. Frank J. Viner Acting Dean The School of Dentistry Jl -EALIZING that leadership in the profession of dentistry requires an education that will enable the practitioner to keep pace with ever- changing conditions and ever-improving methods, the faculty of the School of Dentistry exerts every in- fluence toward preparing graduates of the department in all lines of dental practice. The degree of doctor of dental surgery is attained after a four-year course, which is preceeded by one year of pre-dental study in the College of Arts and Sciences. All phases of the professional man ' s future requirements are adequately cared for, so that the graduate will not only be a finished technician and operator, but a cultured gentleman as well. The dental supremacy of Creighton ' s School of Dentistry rests to a great extent upon the meticulous care with which foundations for future professional leadership are built. The School maintains complete technical, metallurgical and microscopic laboratories together with a large in- firmary, operating room and X-ray laboratories. The most important consideration in one ' s usual judgment of ability, namely skill, is chiefly acquired in the infirmary, which is regarded as a model by dental educators throughout the country. Clinical facilities are of the finest, and as a result over 4,000 patients are treated annually by the upper-classmen. Each student is equipped with the latest type of electrical operating units and cabinets, and furnished with unexcelled facility supervision as he forms the ground-work of his own practice by caring for the patient through the successive stages of complete treatment. All work done in the clinic by the students is under the guidance of a faculty super- visor. The students have the use of dental chairs of the most modern make, equipped with fountain cuspidors and electrical units of the most up-to-date type. A plentiful J Mj L V f I 15 t f fit t f ■ ' £ : - lUl SCHOOI. OI l)l NIISIRV hA UI lY [24] Rfv. John J. McInerny, S.J. Regent supply of gas, electric power and lamps, compressed air, and hot and cold water is maintained at all times. Members of the senior class are furnished individual instrument cabinets. The clinic is also equipped with a modern sterilization cabinet which is one of the finest in any school infirmary. As the patients registered in the clinic are drawn not only from Omaha but from the surrounding territory in Nebraska and Iowa, the students are afforded a va- riety of practice in all phases of oral dentistry. The personal touch maintained between instructor and student is the keynote of the curriculum. The faculty is known for their attention to the latest de- velopments in the theoretical and operative fields of the science, thus passing on to the students benefits accruing from the newest achieve- ments in the profession. By combining every factor in a perfectly equipped school under the direction of an eminent faculty, the dental student is able to lay sure foundations for careful, accurate and finished workmanship, and at the same time to gain sufficient knowl- edge and experience to diagnose cases and to apply with certainty and confidence the proper treatment. The high regard in which the School is held by the government is shown by the fact that Creighton, with seven other of the nation ' s leading institutions, was selected for the establishment of a Dental Section of the Officer ' s Reserve Training Corps. Creighton graduates are eligible, upon completion of the prescribed course, to a commission as First Lieutenant in the Dental Section of the Officer ' s Reserve Corps. By means of a methodical record which is kept of all the work done by each individual student, the faculty supervisor can tell at any time to what extent the student is capable and experienced in each of the different phases of dental work studied. The reputation of the department is ably upheld by its graduates who are respected as leaders of their profession in national as well as local dental circles. Forest T. Graves Donald E. Murphy Raymond Rodrigues Aldo A. Dona [25] Louis J. TePoel Dean The School of Law Xn accord with the ideals set forth by the founders of Creighton University, the school of law has maintained since its foundation, standards that not only provide graduates with a thor- ough knowledge of law but, in addition, a correct ap- preciation of the ethics and duties of the legal pro- fession. The Creighton School of Law, founded by men of unexcelled ideals, is an everlasting benefit to its gradu- ates. The high standards set up by the founders have been rigidly maintained. The object of the courses offered in the School of Law is to fit the graduates for practice in any jurisdiction in which the common law prevails, but as the common law differs in various localities because of political, economic, and social conditions, the School of Law offers something more than can be had in so-called national schools. It aims at imparting specialized training for the mid-western attorney. Effective preparation for the bar is thus measurably attained. The Creighton School of Law is one of the few institutions of its kind whose graduates are admitted to practice in several states without bar examinations. The School of Law is a member of the American Bar Association and is on the Approved List of the Association of American Law Schools, an organization in which only one-third of the law schools in the United States are permitted to hold membership. Enrollment is restricted in order to insure a uniform student body and to prevent un- wieldness in the size of the classes, thus, the Creighton tradition of close personal relation- ship between the student and faculty member is maintained. As the chief pvirpose of law school instruction is the development of the legal mind , which implies acuteness of per- ception and heightened power of analysis, successful legal education is not possible under other conditions. The School oi- Law Faculty [26] Rev. John Danihy, S.J. Regent Realizing that actual practice is as much an essen- tial to a thorough education in law as is the theory gained in the class rooms and from text books, valu- able and practical experience in the actual organization, management and conduct of cases is gained by the law student through an elaborate Moot Court system in which cases of varying nature are tried by the students with faculty members presiding as judges. The entire system is organized and regulated in the same manner as the public courts. Experience is received in plead- ing, trial practice, evidence and criminal procedure in these mock trials. The School of Law is very fortunate in having one of the finest law libraries in the nation which includes collections of 3 5,000 volumes of legal literature. The library is well balanced, with em- phasis placed on the up-to-the-minute books which make accessible the law of today. The historical aspect has not been overlooked for a large section of the library is devoted to ancient books and documents which carry the research student back to medieval England. The library contains books that trace the progress of the Common Law through the centuries down to current decisions of the courts in English speaking jurisdictions the world over. There are some larger law libraries than that at Creighton, but few which offer a greater degree of usefulness to the student. The use of the library is not restricted to the students alone since members of the bar whose private libraries fail to yield the desired authorities on legal problems are welcome to make use of the Creighton Law library. The faculty of the School of Law is composed of men well versed and well known in this particular field. Students serve on various committees and carry through the acts of presenting, dis- cussing, passing and ratifying bills. The students are given through this method some realization of the methods used by the various legislative bodies. Walter A. Nielsen Edward R. McCreary Robert K. Adams [27] Howard C. Newton Dean The College of Pharmacy Xhe curriculum of the College of Pharmacy, recognized by educators as one of the finest and most complete in the nation, is arranged so as to give the student and graduate a complete knowl- edge of pharmacy and its related fields as well as a cor- rect appreciation of the responsibilities of the pharmacist in public life. Prepared with the assistance of graduates of the de- partment who furnish advice based on their own ex- periences, the curriculum is outstanding. An important feature of it is its provision for both breadth of educa- tion and desirable professional specialization. The courses of the first two years are founda- tional and therefore prescribed. At the end of the second year each student is assisted in deciding for which phase of the practice of the profession he wishes to prepare himself. Then he may elect courses in his junior and senior years which will direct him toward his goal. Close cooperation is maintained between the College of Pharmacy and the School of Medicine. All prescriptions written for patients of the medical clinic are compounded in a special prescription room by pharmacy students under the supervision of a faculty mem- ber who is also a registered pharmacist. Students of the College of Pharmacy start their actual training in the dispensary of the medical school. The theories of the class-room are put into actual practice in the dispensary. The student is given experience in the responsi- bilities of his life vocation by meeting and overcoming the problems that arise in the dispensary. The department keeps a record of all prescriptions filled by the students and their records date back to the opening of the dispensary in 1905. Most of the prescriptions are filled free of charge although a small charge is made to those patients who are financially The College of Pharmacy Faculty [28] Rev. John J. McInerny, S.J. Regent able to pay for them. A choice selection of standard books upon pharmaceutical and chemical subjects are available in the library. There is also a set of the Reports of the American Pharmaceutical Association from the time of its origin in 18 52, and files of all the leading pharmaceutical and chemical journals. A collection of materials used in pharmacy is kept in the museum. One of the finest collections is one of every drug, chemical and pharmaceutical preparation contained in the United States Pharmacopoeia. This col- lection is open to the use of the students for study and much valuable information is gained from it. Additional opportunities for learning as well as for part-time employment are afforded the student due to the presence in Omaha of hundreds of retail drug establishments and a large number of wholesale manufacturers and distributors. Since its foundation the department has maintained a spirit of cooperation and endeavor that has made the college one of the leaders in campus life and achievement. The Omaha College of Pharmacy occupied rooms first in the Creighton Medical School and later in the commercial building at the corner of 17th and Farnam Streets. The new college soon outgrew both its rooms and its equipment. The prospects for the college ap- peared so bright that in August, 1905, Creighton University purchased and established it as one of its professional schools. The Creighton College of Pharmacy thus became the first college of Pharmacy in Nebraska to be connected with a university. The College of Pharmacy ranks among the highest of all those holding membership in the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy throughout the United States. Phar- macy degrees and diplomas received at Creighton are recognized by every state examining board in the nation, and the leadership in the profession to which Creighton alumni have earned an unchallenged title is shown by their presence on state boards of examiners, as well as in important offices in state, regional and national associations. Joseph L. Dietz Howard M. Jensen John J. Riggs [29] Rev. T. S. Bowdern, S.J. Dean The Graduate School x -N EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITY to earn the degree of master of arts or master of sci- ence is afforded the advanced student by enabling him to pursue further study in the Graduate School. In ad- dition to the extension of the range of the student ' s knowledge, the Graduate School develops judgment, initiative, and the spirit of independent thought. This advanced study is of great importance to those who wish to embark on a teaching career. Credits are granted for advanced work undertaken in the pre-clinical department of the School of Medi- cine. A limited number of students are permitted to engage in research upon problems selected by the various departments. All work in the Graduate School is under the supervision of the Graduate Council appointed by the president of the university. The council must approve all applicants for graduate courses before admission to the school is granted. The Council supervises the rules and regulat ions of the university in reference to the administration of graduate work and advanced degrees. Evening classes are held enabling adult students to attend. The Graduate School and the University College are closely associated. The character of the Graduate School is enhanced by the finest of Creighton traditions and ideals, which ultimately result in the building of finer characters, so essential to those who aspire to leadership. Attainments in the Graduate School tempt the intellectual brilliance of the research student toward further endeavor in specialized subjects. The graduate student strives toward the acquisition of particular knowledge from a wide field of general learning. The cooperation of individuals doing advanced work in related fields is facilitated by placing all such work under the supervision of the Graduate department. J f f f -f P Wf « t f The Arts College Faculty [30] Rev. T. S. Bowdlrn, S.J. Dean The University College Xhe University College, designed to afford a more compact and centralized or- ganization of teacher ' s courses and evening classes, is one of the youngest and largest departments of the university. The interest manifested by teachers, professional, junior college students and adults, in the graduate courses taught in the various departments of the uni- versity was the reason for the formation of the Uni- versity College. The College has incorporated all courses formerly taught outside the regular class schedules of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Commerce, and the College of Journalism. The close alliance between the University College and the Graduate School makes possible the grouping of administrative duties under one head and a special faculty. Women students are given an opportunity to receive Arts degrees from the university through the University College. Courses in education receive special emphasis in this de- partment and Certificates in Education are awarded after the requirements are fulfilled. Although the University College enrolls many women, its appeal and membership is not limited to the co-eds. It has an even larger enrollment of business men and women, notably teachers, taking special courses in the late afternoons, evenings and on Saturdays. The students select their courses in other colleges and schools on the campus although they come under the direction of the dean and a special faculty in the University College. Every facility of the department, every effort of its administrative officers, every dream of its faculty, has as its goal the Creighton ideal — the endowment of students with Com- plete Equipment for Life. To this end every means is directed that Creighton graduates, by developing to the fullest their mental, moral and physical powers, may achieve that rare balance of character that qualifies women for leadership in their chosen profession. Eleanor Lynch Marian Kalamaja Mary Green Eleanor Damon [31] East Walk Duchesne College JL ucHESNE College, affiliated institution of Creighton University, was founded in 1881 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart, under the leadership of Mother Dunne. It is the only Catholic col- lege for women in Nebraska that offers a four-year course of higher education and fine arts. Duchesne be- came affiliated with Creighton University in 1926. In 1931, the Golden Jubilee of the Institution, a new building was erected which provides not only new halls and lecture rooms but up-to-date facilities for dramatic work and physical education. From the date of its foundation to the present time there has been a program of constant improvement. Though buildings change and new plans of study are introduced, the essentials of true edvication as conceived by Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat, Foundress of the Society of the Sacred Heart, are still the basis of training in the College. Everything converges toward giving each student attending Duchesne College worth of character, strength of principle and anchorage in the faith. Besides purely social activities, of which the Mardi Gras with its crowning of the queen, is one of the chief features, Duchesne fosters several very popular student clubs. The Drama Club has plans for a new and expanded program in the coming year which will be in accord with the faculty ' s plan of building up a larger speech department. The interest of the whole college this year has been aroused by the critical work of the Poetry Club to which Duchesne ' s amateur poets have submitted their verse. Duchesne as a corporate college of Creighton University is fully in line with the Uni- versity ' s program of intellectual and cultural advancement. The degrees of bachelor of arts, bachelor of science and bachelor of philosophy are available to students completing the required courses. Sheila Shirley Br.TH NOTHOMB Mary Shields Margaret Betts [32] The College Entrance The College of Saint Mary JTressing demands for higher education in the teaching profession necessitated the opening of the College of St. Mary in 192 3 for general college courses by the Sisters of Mercy. Organized a few years previous for private classes, the college at this time removed the restrictions to attendance for re- ligious only, and opened all classes to students wishing to avail themselves of collegiate teaching work. So successful was the arrangement that affiliation with Creighton university was effected May 1, 1929. The college retains its corporate identity, financial standing and its location in the Provincial House on 14th and Castelar Sts. The university super- vises registration, directs all academic work, issues credits, diplomas and certificates. The College of Saint Mary continues to emphasize the educational standards which have characterized it since its organization. It stresses the intellectual importance of re- ligion, though no restriction along the lines of religious belief is made in the selection of students applying for admission. Sponsoring its own student activities for the outlet of intellectual, physical and artistic talent, the college numbers among its extra-curricular features, the Co-Ath club, glee club, orchestra, sextette, dramatic club and chorus. In addition, the students in the College of Saint Mary take part in many all-university activities, notably. The Creightonian. The Blue-Jay and Shadows. Aiming to serve the community in offering a high standard of secular instruction, guided by Christian principles of morality, the College of Saint Mary plans to continue in the future to extend its activities to the degree consonant with the maintenance of the standards which have been established in the past and to continue in harmony with the program of Creighton university. Catherine McMahon Marguerite Harris [33] The Nurses Home Creighton KjVlemorial Saint Joseph ' s Hospital X-iSTABLiSHED in 18 80 by the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration, the Creigh- ton Memorial St. Joseph ' s Hospital has grown to be the largest hospital in the middle western states. The hospital has grown in size from the original building housing one hundred persons to the present modern structure caring for over four hundred patients. Starting with a small home originally intended to house the Franciscan Sisters, St. Joseph ' s hospital grew through the bequest of $50,000 made by Mrs. Sarah Emily Creighton, who realized the meritorious work being carried on by the Sisters in their inadequate quarters and provided funds for the erection of a new building. An additional bequest was made by her husband, John A. Creighton, to advance the work of the hos- pital. The funds given by these two provided for a building housing two hundred persons which was completed in 1892. In 1908 the capacity was doubled and one wing of the hospital provided for a complete system of operating rooms and a teaching clinic. The annex, completed in 1923, made possible the care of nervous and mental sufferers and is one of the most completely equipped systems of this kind. The Nurses Home, erected in 1923, is a modern structure equipped to accommodate one hundred and fifty nurses, and contains parlors, lecture rooms, and a gymnasium. In February, 1928, the School of Nursing of St. Joseph ' s Hospital became an affiliated school of the Creighton University and the student nurses were given access to the com- bined resources of the hospital and the university. Certificates in Nursing are offered after the completion of the regular three-year course. Wishing to further her education and receive a degree in addition to her certificate, the candidate may complete two year ' s addi- tional work and be eligible for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. Catherine Gannon Alice Perry Vivian Miller [34] West Entrance Saint Catherine ' s Hospital Xhe history of St. Catherine ' s hospital begins in 1910 with the donation of a home at 8 1 1 Forest avenue, by the late Mrs. Catherine Nash, in which the Sisters of Mercy estabhshed a hospital de- voted solely to the care of women and children. Due to the lack in demand for specialized work in the mater- nity hospital, the institution was later changed to a general hospital and became known as Saint Catherine ' s Hospital. Increasing demand for a greater space and added equipment necessitated the building of additional space and a new wing was added in 1915, with the addition of more modern equipment and more housing room. This building brought the Saint Catherine ' s hospital into prominence as one of the best equipped hospitals in the middle-west. Nine years after the completion of the first wing of the hospital further construction tvas completed. Following the completion of the main structure one year later a new addi- tion known as the Nurses Home was completed. Realization of the need of university training for nurses resulted in the affiliation of the School of Nursing of Saint Catherine ' s Hospital with the Creighton University when an agreement between Mother M. Leo, director of nurses, and the Rev. William H. Agnew, late president of the university became effective in January, 1929. The combined re- sources of both the Hospital and the University were then available and student nurses have since been matriculated by the University. With completion of the required three-year course of training a Certificate of Nursing is granted. The nurse, however, may receive an additional degree of Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University after completing two year ' s additional work. Mary Murphy Margaret Barrett Mary Stewart [35] Mercy Hospital XVLfrcy Hospital, located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, was founded in 1902 by the Sisters of Mercy. The hospital grew rapidly and in 1920 was standardized in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American College of Surgeons. The hospital is a thoroughly modern institution with the complexity of departments characteristic of the advance and development of modern medicine. The following depart- ments are maintained: Surgical, medical, obstetrical, pediatric, orthopedic, X-ray, radium, physiotherapy, metabolic, dietotherapy, pathological, contagious, and infectious. These various departments are in charge of staff specialists and sisters who are registered nurses. Mercy Hospital is considered an integral part of the Creighton University School of Medicine. Students of the medical school are afforded excellent opportunities for clinical research through cooperation with this institution. An opportunity for observing the care of actual cases in the routine of the hospital is given the student of medicine. The field for the serving of internships in local hospitals has been increased through the affiliation of Mercy Hospital. The principal works of the Sisters of Mercy are the instruction of the uneducated and the care of the sick. They perform the spiritual and corporal works of mercy in and out of the convent. In addition to the three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience generally made by religious orders, the Sisters of Mercy make a fourth — the service of the poor, sick and uninformed, and only those who have had an opportunity, through one of these chan- nels, to receive comfort at their hands, know and understand the sacrifices and the untir- ing efforts of these sisters to give consolation to the sick and the unfortunate. The hospital sponsors clinical classes under a special teaching staff. The instructors are enlisted from the regular surgical and medical staffs of the hospital and are extra-mural members of the medical faculty. These classes are attended by seniors of the Medical School, and the cases are diagnosed and treatment prescribed under the supervision of the instructor, as part of the regular curricula of the student. Main Enirancl Mercy Hospital [36] Saint Bernard ' s Hospital Or. Bernard ' s hospital has always aimed to afford the best care and treatment for persons suffering with mental and nervous disorders. The hospital, for the treatment of nervous and mental disorders by means of the most approved modern methods, was organized in 1887 by the Sisters of Mercy in response to a demand for more defined and individual private care for patients, who by reason of the lack of facilities and proper organization could not receive treatment in the general hos- pital. The organization is modern in its conception and practical application, giving the patient the advantage of the co-related service, of a consulting staff selected from their respective specialties, of the most competent men in the middle west, an active staff ex- perienced in Neurology and Psychiatry, and a Nursing organization particularly trained and organized for this unique type of work. St. Bernard ' s hospital in its equipment and organization, seeks to command the pro- fessional respect and confidence of physicians and others who may seek its aid in early recognition, interpretation and treatment of mental disorders, in the most approved, recent and dependable service. The early recognition of mental disorder is of great importance to the individual, because it leads to the prevention of conditions which may rob him of his best and most useful attributes. Treatment to be effective and worthwhile, must sever the environmental factors, in causation at least, until convalescence is sufficiently established to insure stability and self- control on the part of the patient. To secure rest, isolation must be imperative and rigid. The hospital has a 300 bed capacity, suitably arranged for the better classification of patients which is of the utmost importance. The entire plant covers an area of 5 acres including adequate grounds for rest and recreation. There is adequate nursing and med- ical supervision both day and night, and the modes of treatment vary with the type of disorder, individuation being the keynote. All modern methods are employed, special attention being given to the rest treatment, modified to meet individual requirements, hydrotherapy, massage, occupational therapy and psychoanalytic methods.

Fitzgerald President The Alumni Association With a membership com- posed of thousands of graduates and former students, the Creighton University Alumni Association serves as the main connecting hnk between Creighton graduates and their Alma Mater. Tremendous steps forward have been taken by the association during the past year, a fact that is easily evidenced by the increase in number of alumni chapters, the increase in activity of the various councils and a general interest by alumni in the affairs and progress of Creighton. The purpose of the organization is to promote good fellowship and cooperation among the alumni of the various departments, to increase the influence of the University in every possible manner, and to assist the University in its material development. Since the organi- zation of the present association in 1926, it has worked constantly to achieve these ends, and thus to repay 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 in attendance at Creighton. The governing body, which is the source of power of alumni activity, is known as the Creighton Alumni Council and consists of a president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer, and two representatives from each of the seven departments of the University. The secretary-treasurer, an appointed officer, is in charge of the general alumni office in Room 1 1 1 of the Law building where work of the association is carried on. The function of this office is to maintain up-to-date files of all graduates and former students of Creigh- ton, to publish The Creighton Alumnus, the official monthly magazine of the association, to foster and arrange the annual Creighton University Homecoming, to promote the establishment and development of alumni clubs throughout the country, to direct all I Iaroi I) Li.NAHAN J. A. Shanahan Byri,)n . Ri I u Leo J. Reynolds [40] Dr. W. L. Sucha Vice-President alumni drives and to collect and dispense alumni funds. During the past year many developments have been made in Alumni work with the result that at the present time the Creighton Alumni Association is a stronger and more active organization than ever before. Heading the list of activities was the annual Homecoming, held October 21, with the largest registration in the history of Creighton. Other functions sponsored in Omaha by the main office, included a series of grid-graph parties at which the fortunes of the Blue-Jays were followed in out-of-town games, the frosh-alumni basketball game and party, held March 5 before a record crowd, a testi- monial meeting in honor of Creighton ' s newly named football coach, March 6, and the annual varsity foot- ball banquet, November 12, at the Fontenelle hotel. One of the most noteworthy projects completed during the past year was the mailing of an inclusive questionnaire to all alumni of the University to determine the attitude of Creighton alumni in regard to pertinent questions confronting University officials. By means of this questionnaire the Alumni were able to voice excellent opinions on matters confronting the University and many valuable and constructive sviggestions were received. The questionnaire also served to bind alumni closer together in their own local communities as well as to locate and appoint the leaders in that community as the first president in the formation of a local club. Each spring, upon the eve of graduation, the alumni sponsor the annual University- Alumni Spring Convocation at which all graduating seniors are guests of the Association and are officially enrolled as members. This function serves as an excellent send-off to the seniors and provides an opportunity for them to acquaint themselves with the necessity of their membership in the Alumni Association. Though there has always been an alumni association at Creighton in one form or another, the work of the group during the past year eclipses that of any previous period. Several new chapters in the ever-growing chain of alumni clubs were formed. New clubs were organized Dr. W. S. McCall Dr. J. S. Schall W. P. Kelley J. J. Fitzgerald, Jr. [41] Frank E.

BWk Creighton University scholarships are being offered by „nt, mKrm aiisM several clubs to the outstanding students of their local _ l W KKm S schools, helping to promote Creighton good- will in H y l Much of the credit for alumni development can be HmH Hfil l l H given to the general alumni office and council for their efforts in keeping not only the alumni, but the world in general, conscious of Creighton activity. By means of the Creighton Alumnus magazine, sent out monthly free of charge to all alumni and former students of the University, the gen- eral alumni council is able to keep out-of-town alumni and alumni clubs informed of the progress and needs of the association. The magazine also serves as a channel through which the Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S.J., and the president of the council can keep alumni informed as to the administrative policies of the University as a whole. The council holds bi-monthly meetings in the general alumni office in the law school with special meetings being called when the need arises. The officers and members of the general alumni council are: Judge James M. Fitzgerald, AB ' 03, president; Dr. William L. Sucha, MD ' 08, vice-president; Frank E. Pellegrin, BSC ' 31, secretary-treasurer; Harold Linahan, AB ' 20, and James A. Shanahan, AB ' 17, repre- sentatives of the College of Arts and Sciences; Byron W. Reed, BSC ' 30, and Leo J.

Pellegrin Dircc or Publicity Department |H | P W Xhe Creighton University News Bureau, the public relations department of the University, is maintained to keep the public informed what Creighton is doing along educational, cultural, religious and civic lines as well as to build good-will for the institution throughout the nation. Knowing the value of a constructive public relations policy, the department is ever on the alert to serve not only the University as a whole but to forward the in- terests of each school and college in the minds of the general public and of prospective students. During the past year the department has carried on an extensive student-enrollment campaign that has materially increased the enrollment of Creighton in spite of the world- wide depression in educational and financial circles. The campaign sent out over 60,000 pieces of promotional student literature to high school graduates of Nebraska and neighbor- ing states, which proved so productive that an even larger and more extensive campaign is now in progress. A group of field representatives, made up for the most part of Uni- versity professors is also employed in the campaign under the direction of the publicity department. To completely cover the field, the News Bureau serves regularly more than eight hundred newspapers scattered throughout the country with particular attention paid to publications in the middle west. Daily during the week general news stories, sport 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. The Publicity Office [44] 9 9 9 Students Ueioii The Students Union Leo J. Reynolds Manager J. ORMED TWELVE YEARS AGO to direct student activities, the Students Union during the past year continued to be the guiding force behind the student body, the moulding factor that united stu- dent interests to uphold Creighton ideals and traditions. The work during the past year will long be remem- bered by those who witnessed the important steps taken by the Union. Its progress has been marked with a con- tinuous record of achievement. It advanced by more rigidly controlling major student activities and taking more interest in some of the minor affairs. Controlling the activities of the Students Union is the faculty moderator, the Union manager and the Union Board of Governors. The latter group consists of two members representing each of the seven major units of the university. They are elected by a vote of the student body for a two-year term and for this reason are not only figuratively repre- sentatives of the students but take an active part in controlling student activities. Aside from ruling on school functions, the Union annually arranges for full or part-time employment of students. This is done through the Union manager who keeps in contact with those local business organizations that offer part-time work during the school year and full-time employment during vaca- tions. Another duty of the Union is the maintaining of a rooming house service by which students are enabled to find suitable living quarters. The Students Union also maintains club rooms on the first floor of the gym- nasium building. For the convenience of those students who spend their spare time in these rooms, the Union furnishes billiard tables, ping-pong equipment, V. F. Jensen H. W. Shreck F. F. CORRIGAN M. J. Brown J. A. Lf.ary K. N. Deli.amater J. V. Trover [46] RkV. W. J. CORBOY, S.J. Moderator card tables, a radio and various current publications. There is also a candy cage where the students may purchase reasonably-priced lunches and other refresh- ments. There are two university publications which are under the direction of the Students Union. These are the Creighton Handbook, a publication offered to new stu- dents so that they will become acquainted with the various facilities of the university, and the Student and Faculty Directory which contains the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all faculty members and students enrolled in the major units of the university and its affiliated departments. It also contains a list of the administrative officials of the university, the various departments and their officers, and members of the special boards and councils affiliated with the viniversity. At meetings of the Union Board of Governors, held every two weeks unless important matters necessitate the calling of special meetings, matters of interest to the student body are discussed and action taken if necessary. The most important function sponsored by the Union Board of Governors is the annual junior-senior prom. It is at this affair that the king and queen of the royal court of the university are revealed. The rulers are chosen by a vote of the Union Board of Governors. Attendance at the junior-senior prom is restricted to the administrative officials, faculty members, alumni, and students of the university and others who are ex- tended special invitations or are guests of honor. The student pep organization, headed by one whose title is pep marshal, is also responsible to the Students Union Board of Governors for any action it takes. L. J. Grant L. F. Bass S. H. MuNKHOF H.

O ' LEARY All-Missouri-Valley Conference End ' }2- ' }} PATRICK HENRY HOLLAND All-Mhsoiiri-V alley Conference Center ' ii [104] The 1933 Season JLJLeraldeu by pre-season critics as one of the greatest teams in Creigh- ton history, and packing power and deception in every play, the 193 3 Creighton football squad had all the appearances of a championship eleven as they answered the call of head-coach Arthur Stark for early fall practice sessions. However, befor e the opening whistle of the Kansas game was sounded, the twin bug-a- boo ' s of every coaches life, injury and ineli- gibility, had taken up permanent residence in the Blue-Jay camp with the result that the Hilltoppers appeared in sports columns as just another football team by the end of the season. One consolation remains even long after the close of the season, namely, that Creigh- ton out-downed and out-yarded every opponent with the exception of Kansas, in the opening game. The season was also brightened by victories over the strong Rice Owls of Houston, Texas, the Grinnell Pioneers and the Bears of Washington university. On September 30, in the opening game of the season, the Blue- Jays met the highly rated Kansas Jayhawkers in the Creighton stadium and try as they might, Creighton could not score and the Kansans ' won the game 14 to 0. The Jays, playing without the services of the injured Cornie Collin, stellar captain, entered the game as under-dogs but for a time it seemed that they would turn the trick and upset the well known dope bucket. But after playing the powerful Jayhawkers to a standstill in the first half of a nip-and-tuck game, the Blue-Jay ' s defense weakened and the powerful backfield from Kansas was able to tally two touchdowns. Ormand Beach, versatile fullback, displayed some excellent blocking ability to the Blue-Jay fol- Gene Hackett, Captain-Elect 193 3 Varsity Squad [105] lowers but his ball carrying was over-shadowed by the per- formances of several sophomores who stole the show. Ray Dumm, left halfback for the Jayhawkers, was the Kansans ' greatest ground gainer. On October 7, the beating of the traditional tom-tom, by which the ancient witch doctors of Indian lore drove out the evil spirits, heralded the coming of the Haskell Braves to hunt for the elusive Blue-Jay. The game proved to be a battle, mainly between the opposing lines with the backfield men of both squads having either to try end runs for their gains or by the aerial route. Holland, Anderson and Kelly stood out in the Jay line while Gordon and Moran were the shining lights of the Blue-Jay backfield. Duffina, Holmes and Hayes were the highlights for Haskell. The game ended in a scoreless tie. The Creighton jinx was carried into the Missouri-Valley conference, as on October 13 the Blue -Jays journeyed to Lannon Sfsto Kelly Johnson [106] Des Moines for their annual game with the Drake Bulldogs. Creighton out-played and out-gained the Drake men but lost their second game of the season by a score of 6 to 0. Playing an obviously weaker opponent, the Blue -J ays swept up and down the field chalking up 232 yards from scrimmage while the Bulldogs had to be content with 86. Every dark cloud must have a silver lining, and the sun, long since listed among those things forgotten, but desired, shone through on the Creighton football team October 21. Playing host to the Rice Owls of Houston, Texas, the Creighton Jays demonstrated to the 10,000 Homecomers that they could fight, and sent the Owl back to his Hous- ton nest with nothing in his claws better than the short end of a 14 to 13 score. Twice in the first half, a Blue-Jay sophomore, Paul Schmidt, maneuvered into the receiving position on double and triple passes behind the line of scrimmage and ploughed Samson Schmidt SCHROEDER KuBES [107] ' ' Upwi his way over the goal line for two touchdowns, the first of the year for his team. Of equal value were the two place kicks, by Joe Serpe and Max Egbert that split the uprights, adding the extra points, providing a margin of victory for the fighting Jays. The Owl was also in the scoring mood, and twice he took long flights that brought him periously close to victory. Early in the second quarter Barnes took Fouke ' s 40 -yard pass to the Creighton 11 -yard line before being downed. Fouke took the ball on the third down and smacked across the goal line by inches. The try for point was blocked. Again at the opening of the second half. Rice resumed its aerial attack, and on a faked end run Fouke again drifted back and shot a pass to Muller who crossed the Jay goal line unmolested. The try for point was good but the Blue-Jays still maintained a one point lead and try as they might, the Owls were checked in their effort to overcome it. Kappus 1:gburt Skoda Quinn [108} Taking advantage of every break, a fighting band of Creighton Blue-Jays again worked their double pass behind the line and defeated the stubborn Grinnell Pioneers 6 to 0, in a game played October 27 on the Grinnell gridiron. With the ball on the Pioneer ' s 14-yard line the Blue- Jays cut loose with the perfectly executed double reverse, Egbert to Gordon to Schmidt, that spelled victory. Gordon and Schmidt again were outstanding for Creighton, while the work of Bauer and Bradley was best for the Pioneers. For the third successive year the Washington Bears were completely outclassed and were defeated by a score of 1 8 to 0, in a game played in the Creighton stadium, November 4. It was the passing of both teams that proved to be the most effective method of ground gaining, Creighton making 111 yards from their 17 aerial efforts while Washington completed five out of six passes for a total of IG yards. A powerful Marquette Golden Avalanche rolled down Anderson Campbell Serpe Collin [109} the Milwaukee gridiron with just enough momentum to ensnare the wary Blue- Jays by the score of 14 to 9, in an Armistice Day football battle. Co-captain Rollie Halfman, Marquette back, was the star of the first Avalanche drive to a score in the opening period. Repeated gains from the Creighton 47-yard line put the ball on the Creighton 6-yard line from where he skirted the end for the first tally. The try for point was good. With only a few minutes remaining in the first half, Howdy Gordon, Blue-Jay halfback, dropped back, faked a pass, faded back farther and shot the ball to Paul Schmidt who with the aid of two Creighton blockers, raced 28 yards for the first Creighton score. The try for point failed. After an exchange of punts, Creighton ' s next real scor- ing chance came when Neubauer, Marquette halfback, fum- bled on his own nine-yard line. Creighton recovered and after two futile attempts at gaining through the line, Joe Bernacchi Marchetti RlCHLING McKaTHNIE [no] Serpe, Creighton quarterback, booted a 17-yard placement through the uprights to give Creighton a 9 to 7 lead. In the final period of the game, with the field becoming more and more like a lake, Miller, Creighton substitute quarterback, dropped a punt that was recovered by Mar- quette on the Jays 27 yard stripe. On a faked line buck, Neubauer took the ball and faded back and shot a short pass to Gorychka who in turn tossed a lateral to Becker who crossed the goal line unmolested for the second Marquette touchdown. Neubauer converted and the score read 14 to 9 for the Avalanche. Winding up their 193 3 football season, November 18, the Blue-Jays played before 7,000 enthusiastic fans who had gathered in the Creighton stadium with hopes of seeing the Jays defeat Coach Lynn Waldorf ' s Oklahoma Aggies, only to witness the Aggies ride rough-shod over the Jays by a score of 3 3 to 13. Gibbons Moran kockrow tomlinson [111] The Aggies ran up a 19 point lead over the Blue- Jays at the end of the f irst half, but with the beginning of the second period, the Blue-Jays found their stride and led by Captain Howard Gordon, who was playing his last game in the uniform of the Creighton Blue -J ays, Creighton put across two touchdowns. The game not only gave the Aggies their second consecu- tive championship but it also ended the varsity careers of four of Creighton ' s outstanding gridiron warriors. Honor- ary-Captain Howdy Gordon, all-conference halfback, Jack Campbell, quarterback and Jimmy Lannon, halfback, ended their careers in the backfield. Tom Johnson, veteran line- man, also played his last game for the Blues. The 193 3 Season Creighton . Kansas ... 14 Creighton . Haskell . . Creighton .

In Donald Whitey Mclver, tousled-headed back from Sioux Falls, S. D., Coach Bel- ford uncovered a new luminary. Running, passing and kicking like a veteran, Mclver ran rough-shod over the representatives from his home state accounting for six of his teams nine touchdowns, converting five points after touchdown, and carrying the ball 28 times for a total gain of 200 yards. Behind well-nigh perfect blocking, Creighton ' s frosh backs scampered around and through the line of the Dakotans but fell back upon their aerial Bob Lannon, Captain J. V. Belford, Coach [113] 1 Ki SHMAN Football Squad game when in need of any sizeable gains. Coach Belford trotted-out three full teams which were able to score whenever they seemed so inclined, Trish, Navoichick and Wil- cox also registered touchdowns and played a fine brand of football. Twenty-nine freshmen were awarded numeral sweaters, the majority of whom will be eligible for varsity competition next fall. They are: Lester Bausch, George Bush, Ivan Callen, Pat Corrigan, George Donich, Jack Douglas, Robert Finnegan, Francis Fishier, Lawrence Goeckel, Don Gray, Earl Hunt, Frank Jenkevicius, Prentist Jones, Casimir Kareckas, Edward Knapp, Francis Kripal, Dan Lalich, William Lambrecht, Robert Lan- non, Donald Mclver, Edward Muffit, Joe Navoichick, Robert Oshlo, Jack Pederson, Lester Samson, Dick Scull, Douglas Trish, Jack Truscott and Francis Wilcox. Although the 1934 Creighton varsity will be supplied with lettermen and some cap- able reserves from 193 3, first class reserve material may be gathered from the yearling crop, that will be capable of relieving the varsity lettermen at any time, and it is expected that Coach Hickey will use many of the Frosh letter winners to form the nucleus of his shock troops. 1934 Prospects what the prospects for the coming season will offer in the way of football material, was answered as sixty football aspirants answered Coach Hickey ' s call for turnouts in Spring practice. Hickey will build his team around thirteen return- ing lettermen, supported by capable frosh material that is expected to give the veterans a real run for first string positions. Heading the list of lettermen is Captain-elect Gene Hackett, a two-letterman, and named by many as one of the outstanding ends in the Missouri Valley con- ference. The 1934 schedule will be one of the most severe faced by a Creighton team, but Coach Hickey and his Blue-Jay gridsters have hopes for an outstanding season. Maurice S.

SCHABINGER Coach The 1933-34 Season .9 aim « A jTA-LTHough handicapped by a small squad of eight members, Coach A. A. Schabin- ger ' s 1933-34 basketball quintet turned in an impressive record of 14 victories in 17 starts, losing their only three games in conference competition and defeating repre- sentatives of three Big-Six schools. With only two veterans with which to form a nucleus and termed by pre-season dopesters as a mystery quintet, the B ' ue-Jays were given little chance of turning in a winning record. Starting the season, December 9, with two sophomores holding down regular posts, the Blues met the strong aggregation representing the Uni- versity of South Dakota in the Hilltop gymnasium and marked themselves as a formid- able quint by stopping the red-clad visitors by a 56 to 26 score. With Willard Willowy Schmidt and Bob Miller, co-captains leading the way with a brilliant showing of floor work and the sophomore hopefuls Emil Box Engelbretson and Jack Lomax playing like veterans, the Jays swept aside their opposition and pulled out a surprise victory. With but one game experience for the new regulars and the entire team still in doubt as to their play under fire, the Blue-Jays journeyed to Columbia on December 1 5 to meet the University of Missouri Tigers. Given but little chance to show against the Missouri veteran aggregation, the Jays put on a remarkable exhibition of basketball floorwork and pulled out with a 28 to 24 victory. Some strategy on the part of the Blue-Jay head mentor and brilliant floorwork of Jack Lomax and Box Engelbretson, sophomore regulars, gave the Jays an advantage. Meeting Kansas State College on December 20 for the second home game of the season, the Jays looked impressive in their 5 5 to 2 1 victory. Billed as one of the leading basketball teams in the North Central conference and Buck: J. V. Bclford, O ' Lcary, Brick, Lomax, A. A. Schabingcr Vroiit: Koi.krow, Engelbretson, Schmidt, Skoda, Miller [118] scheduled to give the Jays the toughest trial of the season, the University of North Dakota Nodaks invaded the Hilltop gymnasium, January 6, and after a showing of powerful offensive work on the part of the Jays the Nodaks were defeated by an impressive 47 to 26 score. With Willard Schmidt, towering Jay center, beating Ted Meinhover, No- dak center, to the tip-off and the Blue-Jay forwards taking the ball at any spot on the court the Creighton offense swept over the highly touted Nodaks for their third victory. Meeting the Drake Bulldogs January 12 for the second game of the year on a foreign court at Des Moines, the Jays played a nip-and-tuck game and after a thrilling battle re- turned home with a 36 to 2 5 victory. Jack Lomax led the Creighton squad in scoring with 1 1 points. The tip-off battle between the Drake center, Leonard Cole, and Willard Schmidt was the feature. On January 13 the Grinnell Pioneers played host to the travehng Blue-Jays and the tired but alert Jays collected their second victory on the road by a 37 to 20 score. The Jays were handicapped during the early part of the game by the small court but with the Pioneers collecting field goals to put them into the lead the Jays settled down to serious business and with several underbasket shots by Engelbretson the Jays went into the lead. The start of the second half saw the Jays offense functioning, and the work of the entire Creighton team in collecting 23 points while the Pioneers were collecting two goals, put the Blue-Jays into a lead which was never again threatened thoughout the game. Weary from their extended trip on the road the Jays met the Butler Bulldogs, January 20, at Indianapolis and met their first defeat of the year. Unable to connect with the basket the Jays put up a brilliant battle and after a nip-and- tuck game, in which the lead changed hands several times, the Jays left the court with a 48 to 30 defeat hanging over O ' Leary Kockrow Engelbretson [119] them. This game gave the Butlerites undisputed claim to top honors in the Missouri-Valley conference title race. With Davis leading the way with field goals and free throws and the rest of the Bulldogs cagesters playing a bril- liant brand of basketball the opponents piled up an early lead and it was not until Jack Lomax slipped through the alert Bulldog defense for two field goals that the Jays were able to penetrate the opponents defense. Two days after being defeated by the Butler Bulldogs the Jays met the Washington University Bears and were again handed the short end of a 24 to 20 score. Given a hearty welcome by the Blue-Jay followers the Jays met the Drake Bulldogs January 2 1 for the second time this year when the Bulldogs came to Omaha intent upon reversing the score of the previous encounter and making restitution for the early season defeat at the hands of the Blue-Jays. Again the much advertised battle between the two giant centers Willard Schmidt and Leonard Cole, Drake pivot man, did not materialize and the show was left to Jack Lomax, diminutive Creighton forward, and to Bill McCloud, Drake forward, who fought a hard battle for scoring honors. ' On February 5, in an over-time period, the Butler Bull- dogs nosed out the Jays for their second win over the Creigh- ton quint this season by a 3 3 to 32 score. The playing of both teams was noteworthy but the work of Blackie Davis, Bulldog forward, playing his last college basketball game was outstanding. Emil Box Engelbretson and Willard Schmidt were Creighton ' s best bets. Coming to Omaha February 10 to engage the Blue-Jays after handing them an early season setback, the University of Washington Bears were snowed under by the Jays in a thrilling battle by a 40 to 20 score. Engaging the University of Missouri Tigers in a return Miller Skoda Lomax [120] game February 12, the Jays scored a 36 to 24 victory in one of the hard fought games of the season. Employing a fast breaking offense both teams were relying upon speed to carry them into a lead but the visitors were not hitting the hoop very consistently and the Blue-Jays had run up a 1 1 to 2 lead in the first few minutes of play before the Tigers found the hoop. Marquette ' s Golden Avalanche invaded the Blue-Jays stronghold February 17, and the oldest Blue- Jay rival was turned away by a 31 to 2 5 defeat. In an overtime tilt the Jays outshot the Golden Avalanche cagesters to take a hard fought victory. On February 24 the Blue- Jays starting slow found them- selves paced by the Grinnell Pioneers who had journeyed to Omaha to avenge an early season defeat by the Jays. Find- ing the hoop from the opening whistle the Pioneers threw a scare into the Creighton team and soon counted five times before the Jays scored. With Jack Lomax leading the way with a pair of field goals the Jays soon got started and led at the half by a 2 1 to 11 margin. The Jays won handily 46 to 26. Meeting the Iowa State Cyclones representing the Big-Six conference, February 26, the Blue- Jays were scheduled for a hard fought battle but again the critics were wrong and the Jays sent the Cyclones home with a 46 to 3 3 defeat. Led by the consistent play of Box Engelbretson who counted for twenty points the Blue-Jays played their semi- final game of the season March 2 against Coach Harold James ' Oklahoma Aggie team and sent the Oklahomans further into the cellar position in the conference with a 5 3 to 3 5 score. Playing the second game of a two night stand, the Jays were still hitting the hoop and sent the Aggies down to another defeat with a 46 to 27 score. Brick Schmidt £121} Thh Frlshman Basketball Squad Freshman Basketball C OACH J. V. Duce Belford ' s freshman basketball ream closed a formidable season with a record of three victories and one defeat. Dropping the first contest of the year to the Dana college quintet the Blue-Jay yearlings went on record as being the first freshman team to lose a contest in the history of Creighton basket- ball. The freshman came back later in the season to defeat the Danaites and to take victories over the Iowa School for the Deaf and the Red Oak Junior college teams. Meeting the Dana College cagesters on January 1 5th the Blue- Jay freshman dropped the first game of the season by a 37 to 32 score. Coach Belford used several combinations but the yearlings could not overtake the lead that the Dana team secured early in the game. In a return game February 14 the Dana College team journeyed to Omaha to meet the yearlings and were E ' — ■ ' ■ ■ vmrnr mmmmm turned away by a ji l 44 to 24 score. The - ■ Junior Jays with more actual practice were hitting the hoop con- sistently and made an easy victim of the outstate team. Led by Co-captain Whitey McIver,who scored 34 of his team ' s points, the Freshman ran wild over the Iowa School for the Deaf to score a 100 to 9 victory. On February 2 3 the Freshman engaged the Red Oak Junior col- lege cagesters and won Douglas Trish, Co-cuplain a 48 to 1 5 victory. Donald McIvlr, Co-atptuiii [122] , , , Track ROBERT E. LANYON Captain 19)4 [124} Manasil McAleer Hoffman McGuire Lanyon Olson Chapman Doolittle The Track Season Xhe 1934 TRACK TEAM, Under the able leadership of Captain Robert Lanyon, is rapidly rounding into shape for the coming season. With a com- paratively stiff schedule facing them the members of the track team are working out daily in preparation for the coming meets as the Blue-Jay goes to press. Handicapped by the lack of material at the opening of the season due to spring football practice which was still in session, the track team was represented at the Missouri-Valley Indoor track meet at Des Moines, Iowa, Saturday, March 3, by three members. Captain Robert Lanyon, running in the high and low hurdles was the only Blue-Jay member who made the trip winning a place in the meet. The two mem- bers of the Blue-Jay team who made the trip were Anthony McGuire, dash man, and Joseph McAleer, low hurdler. During the present season it is not likely that the school will hold any dual meets with other Valley schools but will be represented at other important meets. In the various meets throughout the Middle West the track aggregation have a representative group entered. Creighton will be represented in the Drake Relays in Des Moines in April by Captain Bob Lanyon and an aggregation of men. The team will be represented in the Hastings relays and in the Kansas relays. A contingent will also enter the Mis- souri-Valley conference outdoor meet. Basil Olson, 440-yard dash man, a veteran of two years experience, will represent the squad in the different meets in the dash events. Olson last year placed in several important Olson Lanyon [125] Uoolittlc AlaiKiMl M Ouux Hull I meets and showed promise of rounding into shape early this year. With Olson in the dashes the Blue-Jays should garner some points in the sprints. John Kirchner, representing the Blues in the distance events should collect some trophies in the meets which follow publication. These two men at this time have not reported to regular practice but should be in trim before the next meet. Les Kockrow and Ron Skoda will represent the Jays in the field events and should be bolstered by a capable host of last year ' s freshman huskies. Gerald O ' Neil, a halfmiler, is a likely point winner in his event. With several of last year ' s freshman reporting to regular practice the Jays seem certain to have a representative in every event in coming meets. Several of last year ' s freshman won places in the intramural meets and came close to breaking standing records for the Blue-Jay track. With the veterans reporting and these promising freshman candidates the Jays should win points in every important meet this year. Although lacking the supervision during the early part of the season of a regular coach, the Jay trackmen went through their paces each day under the watchful eye of Captain Lanyon. With only a few regular men returning the Jays were content to rely upon these experienced tracksters to garner a few points in the various meets while the fresh- man prospects were preparing for competition during the next year. Lacking necessary coaching, the Jays were handicapped until late in the year when the spring football practice re- leased the coaching staff from their gridiron duties. With Chapman Manasil doolittle [126] Lanyon Olson Chapman McAleer no regular coach being employed the responsibility of the coaching of the trackmen fell upon the shoulders of Captain Bob Lanyon and Basil Olson, regular dash man of the past two years. One of the promising features of the season this far was the showing of several outstanding freshman. Several dash and distance men have reported at the time of writing and more men in the field events are expected to make their appearance immeditely after football practice closes. In the distance events Bill Donovan, Arts sophomore, and John Kirchner, Arts junior, seem to be the class of this year ' s competitors. Entering the Hastings Relays, Saturday, April 14, Captain Bob Lanyon placed second in the high hurdle race which featured the day ' s races. The race threatened to set a new record over the high sticks but a slight wind hampered the runners and they were unable to break the standing mark. All schools in the Missouri-Valley conference will have representatives in the Drake Relays to be held in Des Moines, April 27-2 8. Along with the runners of these various schools will be many of the outstanding track stars of the country. Captain Bob Lanyon and a contingent of Blue-Jays track- men will represent Creighton at the meet. At this time the Blue and White tracksters have competed in the Missouri-Valley Indoor track and field meet and have plans completed for entrance in several other important meets including the Kansas Relays and the Drake Relays. Several Blue-Jays will be entered in these meets and should win honors. D. t GH% II ,« ¥ McGuiRE McAleer Hoffman [127} ' Minmiiiiiiiihiiriiii I , , . Minor Sports I J. V. Belford Director of Infrawural Afhief cs i The Criighton Stadium [130] Mln ' s RlILL TUAI ' The University Rifle Team X iRiNG more than 75 postal, telegraphic and shoulder to shoulder matches during the past season, the university rifle team went on record as one of the best and most active rifle squads ever to represent the university. Besides shooting the matches scheduled with teams representing the leading universities and colleges in the country, the team also participated in numerous national competitions, including the Seventh Corps Area matches, the Hearst Trophy match and company matches. It was while firing in the national competitions that most members of the squad were in top form and recorded the highest average ever attained by a squad representing Creighton. Captain W. R. Higgins, coach, and Lawrence J. Dempsey, assistant coach, directed the activity of the squad which was composed of 3 2 students, most of whom were freshmen and sophomores in the undergraduate units of the university. Membership of the squad included Harold E. Wanek, Robert F. Homann, Vincent E. Rohrs, Patrick B. McAnany, Paul F. Dearmin, Frank A. Vergamini, Douglas S. Brown, Henry Sydow, Paul C. Heider, Leonard W. Fi-omm, Bazil N. Lazure, William F. O ' Neill, Sebastian Campagna, John F. Melcher, Charles E. Hermanek, Gordon S. Shotwell, John Moriarty, Herbert L Marks, Frank R. Barta, Paul J.

[131] Golf Entrants Intramural Athletics JA-EGAining its normal pace after a let down during two years, intramural activities at Creighton university progressed during the past season with students enrolled in all departments of the university competing in the basketball, handball, ping-pong, tennis, golf, pool, horseshoe and track tournaments. The present program in force was organized several years ago by the members of the athletic department for the purpose of enabling all students not directly interested in par- ticipating in the major sports to satisfy their athletic ambitions by means of inter-fraternity and inter-departmental competition. Of all the intramural sports, basketball proved to be the most popular during the past season. Teams representing the various classes in the colleges, both graduate and under- graduate, and the 19 Greek letter organizations on the campus were entered in the tournament. Interest throughout the year as focused on the progress made by the leaders, and so close was the inter-fraternity race that it was not until the final week of the season that the champions were crowned. Handball has ever been a popular sport on the campus, and although not as many contestants turned out for this comparatively new intramural activity as is the case in the other fields of athletics, the small group made up in quality what it lacked in quantity. Ping-pong, in its second official season as an intramural sport, proved to be one of the most popular on the program. Numerous tournaments were arranged and conducted with great success, and while the accommodations were relatively small, much enthusiasm was manifested in the tournaments. [132] Tennis Entrants Taking into consideration the popularity which this game has attained, it is the hope of the Students Union officials to install more tables to accommodate the great number of players who played in the small room where the tables were installed. An annual feature in which considerable interest is aroused every spring is the yearly golf tournament, conducted through the auspices of the Intramural department, headed by J. V. Duce Belford. Because of the fact that there was always a number of star golfers who have succeeded in dominating the fairways to the consternation of the lowly duffer, the handicap type of play was adopted a few years ago with the result that long lists of players desiring to enter the tournament have been tendered since this system was adopted. All contests are conducted on some of the best courses in the city and able officials see to it that the tournaments are handled in official tournament style. There is now no overwhelming advantage for the star player to enjoy, and the expert master of the niblick must now match his wits and skill with the unskilled topper with no secure feeling of supremacy. The annual tennis tournament, which has attracted a wide following and is eagerly awaited each year, visually follows close upon the heels of the golf tournament. University championships for the singles and doubles are officially conducted, and the competition experienced in this field of sport has always been exceedingly intense. The contests are held on some of the best courts available in the city, and large audiences have always witnessed the adroit wielders of the racquet as the deciding games are played. Other competitions included in the intramural competitions are the pool and horseshoe tournaments. Although participation in the horseshoe tourney is not as great as in the pool tourney, where numerous rounds of play are necessitated before the victor can be crowned, it is gradually taking its place among the most popular sports of the intramural program. [133] Handball Entrants The college of commerce, with Bob Lanyon and Basil Olson setting the pace, won the track events of last years indoor intramural track and field meet. The college of arts placed second and the school of law and school of medicine tied for third. The times were only ordinary, especially in the longer distances, but the attendance of a large number of contestants was much more pleasing than any one sterling individual performance would have been. Only one upset was recorded in the meet when Joe McAleer, an arts freshman, finished ahead of Bob Lanyon, varsity star and university outdoor record holder, in the 4 5 -yard high hurdles. Lanyon, who participated in the hurdle events since early in his high school days, was expected to win an easy race but, after faltering at the beginning, started ahead at top speed but could not catch up with the freshman who was running in top form. Lanyon came back in other events, however, and added many points to the total for the commerce college and raised his individual total with wins in the other hurdle events as well as in the sprints. In the mile run Bill Donovan, then an arts freshman, stepped out ahead of the field in the last few laps and finished with a strong sprint to easily win the event. John Kirchner finished second and Roger Wollenzein a strong third with Tom Nokes fourth. Dick Tomlinson and Bob Lanyon tied for first in the 4 5 -yard dash after Dexter Jones, who was an easy first in his heat, dropped out of the finals because of a pulled muscle. Basil Olson finished third. Olson easily outclassed his field in the 440-yard dash, winning in the ordinary time of :59.9. Leonard Manasil, winner of his heat, was second and Jack Garland third. Lanyon gained some revenge for his defeat in the high hurdles when he reversed the decision in the low barriers, winning in :15.7. McAleer was second and O ' Neil third. [134] Pool Entrants Contestants in all fields of intramural sports are fully rewarded for their efforts. Teams winning the fraternity championships are awarded a silver loving cup upon the culmina- tion of the season, which they are to defend in the following campaign. Members of the inter-departmental teams are awarded medals according to the order in which their respective teams finish in the race. Individual contestants who have appeared in public exhibitions which have met with the approval of intramural officials are like- wise awarded medals. In the hands of Director Belford rests the task of drawing up the season ' s schedule, arranging playing dates and selecting officials. Each unit participating in the tournaments has representatives who meet with him and discuss the matters which might arise. The present intramural program at Creighton has resulted in a broadening of intra- mural interest and has raised the supervision of undergraduate departmental athletics to a high degree of efficiency.

Harrahill Coed Athletic Team x _LTHOUGH only recently established, the coed athletic team has provided healthy fun and entertainment for the women students of thj University. Being limited in number, the women of the University have formed teams within the school to play various athletic games. Meeting one night each week the coed athletes select teams within their group and hold gymnasium activities for entertainment and physical exercise. During the winter months the coed teams met in the gymnasium and played volleyball and basketball along with swimming. Because of their limited number the teams were chosen from among their group and athletic contests were carried on. Many promising athletes were included in the group and games are being planned with outside girl ' s aggre- gations during the next school year. Swimming was also introduced in the athletic curriculum by the coed group and practice swimming matches were held throughout the year. Although no outside meets were scheduled this year in any sport, the competition among the various departments of the University provided keen practice and exercise. Miss Jen Zitnik directed the physical exercises for the girls this year and through her efforts considerable progress has been made. Assisting her was Lucille Ken- dall, Commerce college secretary. Attempting to bring the coeds of the different depart- ments of the University into closer social contact with one another, the athletic department has designated one night each week as coed sports night when the gym- nasium is reserved for the use of the coeds. Plans are being formulated by which the various athletic teams will meet aggregations representing other leading organi- zations in the city. In order to aid the coeds in their practice sessions new equipment will be put at their dis- posal next year. If the turnout warrants, uniforms will be furnished and arrangements made whereby they will j jjj j j Zitnik receive recognition from the university for attainments. Athletic Director £139} Duchesne College Athletics Duc„...Co..ece recognizes physical education as one of the most valuable and practical courses in the life of a student, since primarily it promotes health consciousness, secondly, through the development of skills in many and varied activities, it fosters life hobbies and, lastly, it encourages the highest ideals of leadership and sportsmanship. The Athletic association, which was organ- ized in 192 8 has for its purpose the promotion of athletic activities at the end of a higher physical efficiency, greater school spirit and good sportsmanship. Membership in the Association is open to the entire student body. The association offers a wise and varied program of activities, in order that each girl may participate in those V. Gruentlier, J.

To the ordinary schedule of volleyball, basketball, tennis and baseball, the following activities have been added: hiking, swimming, badminton and archery. In addition to the athletic contests, held throughout the year, the organization also sponsors various social affairs, the Mardi Gras ball being the most outstanding of these. D Club members, together with a faculty representative and a selected freshman repre- sentative, form the executive board of the Athletic Association. The D Club is com- posed of those students who merit awards by their consistent interest and participation in athletic activities. Letters, awarded on the point system are formally presented at the annual banquet in early May. This year, be- sides the letters, four silver trophies were presented. Those receiving these trophies were: the championship basketball team of the col- lege, the winner of the tennis tournament, the champion swimmer, and to the girl showing the greatest improvement in athletics was awarded The Most Progress Cup . [140} D Club members serve as officers of the Association. This year ' s officers were: Eliza- beth Donohoe, president; Mary Carl, vice- president; Verone Gruenther, secretary- treasurer. In order that everyone may take an active part in the Association, the student body is divided into several teams, which bear the names of the various states represented at Duchesne. D Club members captain these teams. Tournaments in basketball, volleyball, tennis and baseball are held each year. All teams participate in these contests, the mem- bers of the winning team being awarded let- ters and trophies. Interest in archery has been revived at Duchesne during the past two years, and spe- cial instructions in it were introduced into the regular gym course.

A hiking club is another athletic activity newly organized this year, sponsored by the D Club. It meets every Sunday, weather permitting, for long walks, and during the year it sponsors several picnics as well as roller skating and bicycling parties. Miss Helen Proulx, head of the athletic de- partment, is a Duche sne alumna. Since her graduation in ' 32 she has been active in girl scout work, having formed a troop in the Duchesne academy, and has been a counselor at a northern camp during the summers. The physical education department aims to interest and include all students in its activi- ties. It offers to each and all a year of health, fun and energy building exercise. [141] College of St. Mary Athletics J_HE College of St. Mary has done everything in its power to expand and further the good work accom- phshed in the past through its Physical Edu- cation department. The college strives to do its part in coping with the need for trained physical education instructors and play- ground supervisors in the schools and play- grounds. Besides training the student teachers who may be expected to direct physical education classes or supervise a playground, the depart- ment provides many sports for the enjoy- ment and physical fitness of the students.

Among the sports which received atten- tion during the past year were basketball, baseball, tennis and held hockey. In the autumn, field hockey proved to be the favorite and many of the students be- came very proficient in this sport. Basketball was featured during the winter months. The rules of the game and the under- lying principles were studied. Keen interest was noted in this competition. Danish gymnastics were taught in addition to the ordinary sports. A part of each period was devoted to this worthwhile activity. A beginners course in tap dancing was also offered in connection with the regular gym- nasium classes. This course proved very inter- esting as well as beneficial. The physical education classes have fol- [142] lowed a broad and varied program which was conducive to health as well as educa- tional advancement. A lecture class was held in connection with the physical education activities in which the fundamentals of each game were studied and explained. Playground supervision, the planning of programs of activities, and methods of super- vision were afforded to those interested. Stu- dents were also afforded an opportunity of supervising children ' s games. Tennis was the favorite of the majority of the students. Elimination matches were held at Riverview Park.

This far in the season no matches have been played with outside competitors, but some of the girl ' s are expected to enter the city tourney later in the school year. Outstanding in hockey this year were Rose Wehbey, Genevieve Kinney, and DeNelda Kuehn. Hockey, one of the outstanding sports at the school, is played extensively and gives the girls an excellent opportunity to compete in one of the sports sponsored by the school. During the winter season basketball was featured and many promising players were developed. Some of the outstanding leaders in the sport this year were DeNelda Kuehn, Mary Agnes Kavanaugh, and Margarette Skomal. [143] Saint Joseph ' s Hospital Athletics liSTABLisHiNG them- selves as one of the outstanding women ' s basketball teams of the city the Saint Joseph ' s Hospital basketball team met many strong hardcourt aggregations during the past year. Since its inauguration as the outstanding sport at the hospital in 1929 the sport has increased in importance among the girl ath- letes at the Nurses home. Although the team has been handicapped at times by lack of practice time and adequate equipment, the girls representing the hospital have always made a brilliant showing on the basketball court.

Listed in the hard schedule were the teams representing the girl ' s of Bellevue, the girls ' team of St. Cecilia ' s school, the Saint Catherine ' s Hospital nurses, and the Saint Joseph ' s Hospital internes. Coming under the direction of the Physical Culture class all nurses at the hospital are given an opportunity to participate in the various athletic events sponsored by the hos- pital. Every girl is given a chance to partici- pate and to take advantage of the physical exercises offered by the class. The team displayed brilliant floor work in all of the games and the outstanding work of several members looked especially encourag- ing. Some of the outstanding individual play- ers produced this year were Henrietta Stava, Esther Windhalm, Orinellea Judd, Lilah Lof- gren, Lucille Peer and Marie Stranges. [144] Saint Catherine ' s Hospital Athletics JL LAYING an extensive schedule this year the Saint Catherine ' s Hos- pital Nurses basketball team entered the Women ' s City League and met many of the outstanding women ' s teams of the city. In- cluded among the teams met by the Nurses were the Sokol Hall girls team, The Jewish Community girls teams and a team represent- ing the Bellevue girls. Being the outstanding sport at Saint Cath- erine ' s, basketball is followed closely by the newly formed Pep Club and the entire repre- sentation of the Nurses home. Every girl takes an active part in the physical classes held at the school and the outstanding athletes R. Havel, E. Knight, C. Neary, F. Lukes, N. Schlaut- man, M. Pryor, M. Murphy R. Havel, E. Knight, L. Pickard, M. Pryor, P. Gourley, C. Neary, F. Lukes are chosen to represent the hospital in the City League. Playing in the City League the Saint Cath- erine ' s Nurses met many of the best teams in the city. Entering into a hard training period before the opening of the league this year the nurses formed into a smoothly working team and stood high in the league at the end of the season. Some of the outstanding girls on this year ' s basketball team were members of the freshman class. Led by the brilliant playing of the Captain Mary Margaret Murphy who for three years has ranked high in the Women ' s City League, the Saint Catherine ' s Nurses displayed bril- liant work in their many victories. The team was coached by Dr. Walter J. Holden, former Creighton university athlete. Although subordinated to basketball at Saint Catherine ' s, volleyball was ushered into the athletic calendar this year and under the able coaching of Dr. Walter J. Holden the girls progressed rapidly. Plans are being made to enter the team in the city league next year. £145] Back Roil ' : M. Kull, E. Lynch, M. Brannen, M. A. Green, A. Fitzpatrick, T.

Higgins, who himself has won nation-wide recognition for marksmanship, the coed rifle team during the past year recorded successes never before attained during the two years of existence on the campus. The coed riflers participated in postal, telegraphic and shoulder to shoulder matches with teams representing the leading universities and colleges in the country. A precedent was set by the coeds in April when they journeyed to Lincoln to fire a match with the University of Nebraska coed riflers. This marked the first time in the history of Creighton that a coed team had made a trip to fire a match on a visitors ' rifle range. Included among the membership of the team were coeds who maintained an average of over 90 in all matches they participated in against other universities and in team compe- tition among the squad members. Virginia Mancuso, a veteran member of the squad, set a record by shooting a score of 100 out of a possible 100 during one of the postal matches. For this achievement she was awarded a medal by the army personnel at the university. The membership of the squad included Anne Fitzpatrick, Fredrika Hansen, Mary Caroline Kull, Eleanor Lynch, Mary Agnes Green, Velma Perry, Mary Ellen Martin, Mary Brannen, Virginia Mancuso, Patricia Duffy, Eileen Duffy, Nina Rossito, Mary Kahler, Bessie Goldware, Patricia Harrahill, Tina Campagna and Sarah Campagna. Practice sessions were held weekly in the rifle range located in the gymnasium. Plans are underway to furnish complete uniforms for the team members next year and to undertake a more extensive schedule of rifle matches. Sixteen of this year ' s team will return for competition next year and with these ex- perienced members to form a nucleus and a number of new members interested in the team, a capable rifle team should be formed. Interest this year has been more extensive than ever before and a greater turnout is in sight for next year and competition for positions on the team should be keen.

Dippel Editor The Blue-Jay J— ENDEAVORING to present an original idea to the student of the University, the 1934 Blue-Jay portrays in pictures the entire happenings of the school year by weaving into the pages a circus theme with the hope that this motif will serve to add life and color to the edition. The goal of the staff has been to incorporate within the volume a complete record of the events of the past year and to preserve these events so that the student may live again in the future his college days. The staff, in selecting the circus theme has from the beginning had in mind the chief consideration of maintaining a tie-up from cover to cover with uniformity throughout. The staff selected artwork which would follow closely the theme and at the same time portray student life at Creighton. The main division pages, printed in four colors, were drawn with the purpose of suggesting or illustrating the different sections which they introduce. By means of these main divisions, which are broken up by sub-division pages, the artists have endeavored to add movement and color to the book. With the idea in mind that good pictures add to the life of a book and present a more vivid panorama than an abundance of copy, the printed matter of the book has been shortened from the amount used in previous editions. Likewise, in the club section, more attention was given to the photographs than to editorial matter. Many of the minor tradi- tions of the various organizations has been left out of this section because it was felt these activities did not hold general interest from the standpoint of the student body. In the opening section of this book an attempt has been made to present the parade of student life comparing it with the circus parade . Alternate balance on the pages has been used to relieve the monotony which would have resulted if either the theme or the The Blue-Jay Staff [162] Joseph P. Murphy Faculty Adviser Student life had been used to excess. In keeping with the theme, the opening section has been planned and and executed in four main colors. In the campus views section the staff has striven to choose the best pictures that could be obtained of the main campus of the University and those of the affiliated schools. One of the marked changes of this year ' s book was the breaking away from the idea in the senior sec- tion of using one panel to a page. With the two panels to a page and a staggered effect the staff has attempted to change the appearance of this important section. Realizing that spiritual life should be stressed in a Catho- lic university, this section has been enlarged to cover all sodality and spiritual activity. With limited space allotted for student activity, the snapshot section was completed with but one idea in mind, namely to crowd as many pictures as possible into the pages. Printed in a novel manner in green rotogravure ink on bleed-off pages, this section includes student life from all departments of the university from early fall to the date of publication. The staff has worked many months and labored diligently attempting to present a review of the past year ' s events to the students of the University. The Staff: Editor, Herman J.

Wilson Managing Editor The Creightonian ZA-FTER TEN YEARS of existence as an activity of the Students Union, The Cyeightoniau, weekly student newspaper, was taken over by the newly organized College of Journalism at the beginning of the school year. Under its new publisher The Creigbfoniaii became not only a university paper but also a laboratory for journalism students. The format of the paper was changed from a seven to an eight column page, headline schedules were re- arranged and a heavy Cheltenham headline type was employed to achieve greater contrast. A new and bolder logotype or nameplate for the front and sports pages was created by a commercial artist. Throughout most of the year banners and streamers were employed extensively. More than half the issues were of six pages and the remainder of four. Another feature of the paper introduced in November was a tabloid-size rotogravure section published by the Associated College Press, a subsidiary of the National Scholastic Press Association to which The Creightonian and Blue-Jay have belonged for several years. The Creightonian was one of the first of more than 100 college papers throughout the country to carry the syndicate section. Other changes included further departmentalization, particularly in the society section. Both society and feature staffs were named for the year. The sports section was also de- partmentalized . Since The Creightonian was intended to be a journalism laboratory, most of its staff consisted of students in the College of Journalism and all students enrolled in the college were required to do some work on the paper. Students from other departments were permitted to hold positions as reporters and correspondents. Top Row: R. Howell, V. Zikmund, L. PiKard, M. E. Lcary, T. Peter, M. E.

MUNKHOF News Editor Early in March the pubHcation date was changed from Thursday to Wednesday. By this arrangement The Creightonian was able to carry Tuesday evening news the following morning, which was not possible because of printing arrangements when the paper was published Thursdays. The Creightonian carried the largest volume of ad- vertising in its history despite a depression year due to the activity of the advertising bureau under the direc- tion of Byron M. Devaney. Memberships in the National Scholastic Press Asso- ciation, The National College Press Association and the Catholic School Press Association were maintained. The paper again entered the contest sponsored by the first mentioned organization in which it won an All-American rating last year. Ratings for this year had not been received when the Blue-Jay went to press. The dean of the College of Journalism, the Rev. John Danihy, S.J., was faculty moderator and Frank E. Pellegrin, assistant professor of journalism, faculty adviser.

It provides an opportunity for students with a hterary bent , as its field includes essays, stories, playlets, sketches, poetry, editorials and comment. The issues bulk rather large, each running to about one hundred pages without filler. The staff is composed of five representative students from various departments, selected on the basis of capa- bility and willingness. They are known as associate edi- tors, each with his own field. Their function is to solicit manuscripts, suggest topics and aid students in the preparation and revision of copy. To keep interest alive among prospective contributors innumerable form-letters, postals and reports are mailed at intervals to deans, regents, heads of departments, as also to indi- vidual professors and instructors. Bulletins are posted, men in key positions are interviewed, lists of capable students are drawn up and the individuals solicited for manuscripts. Every known device is used by the staff to awaken and stimulate interest in the magazine. Interest in the publication is not however, confined to students alone. Many of the articles appearing in the magazine during the past year were written by alumni and former staff members. To the Alumni Writers Guild, the Creighton Poetry Club, the Duchesne Writers Guild and the Duchesne Poets Club the magazine is indebted for most of the contributions during the current year. The Board of Editors who are responsible to a great measure for the success and popu- larity of the magazine during the past year is made up of: Henry R. Marshall, Lee Welch, Thomas Edward Kane, Mary Ellen Leary and John Rebuck. Faculty moderator for the magazine is the Rev. Francis X. Riley, S.J., professor of English in the college of arts and sciences. Juhn Rebuck I Icnry Marsliall Mary Ellen Lciry Lcc Welch Thomas K.ine [166] Sally Curtin Ed it or -m -Chief The College of Saint Mary Golden Record J_HE Golden Record, literary periodical published by the students of the College of Saint Mary, began as a monthly in 1926 with contribu- tions from the various educational institutions of the Sisters of Mercy in Nebraska. At that time the maga- zine contained news items and recorded the main events in the educational accomplishments of the various Sister of Mercy schools. In 1931, the magazine was reorganized and appeared as a bi-monthly college magazine, exclu- sively literary, under which plan it has been published ever since. The magazine consists of feature articles, short stories, book reviews, editorials, interviews, and a poetry section. Contributions are entirely the work of the student body with an occasional article by a member of the alumnse. The purpose of the magazine is to interest and encourage students in the production of literary work and to reveal t hrough publication the principles for which the college stands. The makeup of the book is varied and the content has met high commendation. The editors learn something about editing and making-up a magazine through their work with the publication in addition to gaining writing experience. The magazine follows the typo- graphical style used by most modern illustrated magazines. The college notable section, in which are presented two students who have shown marked ability and spirit during their school career, is an outstanding feature of the magazine. Anne Gillespie, Cecilia O ' Keefe, Genevieve Kinney, and DeNelda Kuehn compose the business staff and handle the general management and advertising of the periodical. The editorial staff is composed of Sally Curtin, editor-in-chief; Catherine McMahon, poetry editor; Elizabeth Boyle, associate editor, and Mary Elizabeth Dougherty, freshman editor. Top: D. Kuehn A.

Formerly sent to only paid-up members of the Alumni Association, the magazine is now distributed free of charge to all graduates listed in the alumni files. The publication expense is borne by the general alumni fund, maintained and replenished yearly by the Alumni Loyalty Fund drive. The magazine was first published seven years ago as an eight page edition and since that time its size has been increased to 12, and in some instances 16 pages and cover. Covers are changed monthly, providing a variety of color and make-up for readers. In addition to news of alumni and alumnse, the magazine carries a variety of student, faculty and athletic news that serves to keep alumni abreast with Creighton progress. Besides being the official news organ of the alumni, the Alumnus serves as the spokesman for the general alumni council. The Creighton Alumni Loyalty fund is supported and car- ried on through the columns of the magazine each spring, as are other drives, including the annual football ticket campaign in the fall. Among the features of the magazine appearing each month are reviews of sports at Creighton, two pages of short alumni news gathered from all sections of the country, news and happenings of Creighton ' s many alumni clubs, a monthly message of the Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S.J., president of Creighton, a column by the president of the alumni council. Judge James M. Fitzgerald, and a digest of the most important ne ws of campus and faculty. One of the most popular features carried by the magazine during the past year was a series of articles showing the progress and development of Creighton ' s major departments, from their inception to the present day. These are interspersed by articles written by prominent members of the faculty and alumni upon current problems of a national nature. The Alumnus also assists in the promotion of various alumni and University projects, such as the annual homecoming, student loan funds, drives for scholarships and many others. loSl I ' ll p. MURI ' II V Frank E. Pf.i.lucrin [168] The Advertising Bureau J.HE Creighton University Advertising Bureau was established in the fall of 193 3 to meet an ever-growing and evident need for a com- petent advertising department to service the many organizations using Creighton student publications as advertising media. The bureau began operations soon after the newly founded college of journalism took over the publishing duties of Creighton ' s two major student publications, the Creighfonian and the Bhie-Jay. A compact group was thus formed with all copy, both editorial and advertising, under the direction of the new college. The bureau is directed by a full-time advertising man who is well versed in all types of newspaper and other periodical advertising. Besides securing advertising space, the duties of the director include the coaching of interested students in the practical aspects of the profession with ample opportunity being afforded to students who desire training of this nature. These students are given practical training by working on the student publications. The major objective of the organization during the past year was to impress prospective advertisers that the Creighton student is a profitable customer who actually reads the school publications and responds to the advertisements which they contain. This was effected by showing the combined consuming powers of the student body, after an in- clusive statistical survey of the student buying power. The bureau is directed by Byron M. Devaney, a former student in the Creighton uni- versity college of commerce who has had extensive experience in advertising and its related fields. Working under the direction of Mr. Devaney are several students interested in adver- tising and its solicitation. The bureau has been able to offer advertisers space in three distinct types of media, namely, the Crcightonian, weekly newspaper, the Blue-Jay, year book and the Creighton Alumnus, appearing monthly throughout the year. As a result of the establishment of the bureau, Creighton publications have been able to offer service and a wider circulation to the advertiser, both local and national. The volume of advertising carried in all publications has also been materially increased. Byron M. Devaney Lawrence J. Kean [169] X! , Dcbote Rev. W. J. FiNAN, S.J. Director 1933-34 Debate Season With a schedule made up of a series of intercollegiate, inter-varsity, intramural and freshman debates, the Creighton university forensic squad completed one of its most extensive and success- ful seasons with the varsity squad meeting some of the strongest and most representative teams of the country. Nine members of the debate squad, under the cap- taincy of James Gleason, appeared in 3 8 debates. Squad members were Captain Gleason, George Springborg, E. Joseph Solomonow, John Rebuck, Earl Hallgren, Leo Smith, Frederic Wolfe, Clayton Shrout and Frank Lipp. Besides the intercollegiate debates the teams appeared in eight inter-varsity encounters before different representative organizations of the city. Debate activity was under the direction of the Rev. William J. Finan, S.J., Wallace W. Keenan, assistant coach, and Clayton Shrout, manager. Officers of the Oratorical Society were: John Rebuck, president; George Springborg, vice-president and Donald Welsh, secretary. The outstanding debate of the entire year was the Creighton-Cambridge clash in the Technical high school auditorium November 20. The subject was Resolved, that the United States should adopt the essential features of the British broadcasting system. James Gleason and George Springborg upheld the negative side for Creighton. John Rebuck and E. Joseph Solomonow met a University of Nebraska team November 23 in a radio debate and a non-decision clash in Omaha. Earl Hallgren and Leo W. Smith representing Creighton, made a tour through Missouri and Kansas. On December 15, they met the University of Missouri at Columbia in a non- decision encounter. In St. Louis they debated a non-decision argument with Washington university and lost a decision to St. Louis university. At Topeka, Kansas, they held a non- SOLOMONOW Rebuck Hallgren [172] W. W.

The team ended the tour with a loss to Rockhurst college of Kansas City, December 20. January 12, Clayton Shrout and Frederic Wolfe met Kansas State College in Omaha in a non-decision en- counter. Gleason and Springborg met Iowa State college here February 8 in a non-decision debate. Meeting Carleton college at Northfield, Minnesota, February 14, in a non-decision debate, Rebuck and Solomonow started a ten day tour of Minnesota and Iowa. The following two days they met St. Thomas college in two non-decision encounters, one in St. Paul and one in Minneapolis. At St. Peter, Minnesota, a non- decision debate was held with Gustavus Adolphus college, followed by two more non- decision debates with Grinnell college and Drake university. At Ames, Iowa, they lost t3 Iowa State college, and again debated that institution in a non-decision contest at Waterloo, Iowa, the following day. On February 21, Shrout and Wolfe held a non-decision debate in Omaha with Doane college before an assembly. Grinnell college came here in a non-decision encounter February 2 3 against Hallgren and Smith. Midland college met Creighton in two non-decision debates March 1 against the teams of Shrout and Wolfe and Gleason and Springborg in Omaha. The latter team left on a tour of Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin March 13. Their first encounter was with Purdue university in a non-decision debate. In three successive evenings they defeated Xavier university at Cincinnati, Ohio State university at Columbus and John Carroll university at Cleveland. In an audience decision at Loyola university they received a tie vote. At Evanston, Chicago and Milwaukee they met Northwestern, De Paul and Marquette universities in non-decision encounters. In the Delta Sigma Rho national forensic fraternity tournament at Madison, Wisconsin, they lost successively to University of Wisconsin, Marquette university and St. Louis university. Returning to Omaha they Smith Springborg Gleason [173} James J. Gleason Captain lost a 2 to 1 decision to debaters from the University of Southern Cahfornia. Shrout and Wolfe made a trip to Hastings college and Doane college March 16 and 17. They lost to the former and held a non-decision debate with the latter. They closed the debate calendar with a non-decision encounter with Hastings college before an arts college assembly in the auditorium. In the annual Oratorical contest for the gold medal offered by the Omaha branch of the Ancient Order of Hibernians, E. Joseph Solomonow won first place with a talk on Andrew Jackson. The general subject of the contest was Eight Famous Presidents of the United States. John Rebuck was second, speaking on Abraham Lincoln and John Frundt third orating on Thomas Jefferson. Other finalists in the contest were: John Hedrick, John Liebert, Eugene Fitzgerald, Clayton Shrout and Mac Alvay Rosewater. Winning the President ' s Trophy cup for the third time in five years, a team represent- ing Delta Kappa Delta fraternity won the annual intramural debate tournament. Eugene Fitzgerald and John Hedrick, arts freshman, were the winners in the finals against John Frundt and John Liebert, representing Alpha Chi Kappa fraternity. Sixteen teams were entered in the tournament. The entire student body, except those participating in varsity competition, were eligible for this tournament. The success of the present ambitious program of expansion is evidence of the forensic skill of the students participating. George Springborg was awarded the key of membership in Delta Sigma Rho, national honorary forensic society. This is the second time such an honor has been given a member of the varsity debate squad. James Gleason was made a member last year. The freshman intercollegiate squad was composed of Eugene Fitzgerald, captain, William Culkin, Ray Fox, John Hedrick, Mac Alway Rosewater, Edward Nelson and Joseph Slattery.

Rieck Director Dramatics XZiNDEAVORiNG to present the better types of dramatic productions, the Creighton Players concluded a very successful season when the final curtain dropped on the last act of Whistling in the Dark, April 10, in the Creighton auditorium. The repertoire of the Players during the past year in- cluded Your Uncle Dudley, The Bad Man, and Whistling in the Dark. All presentations were of a dramatic tenor. Productions presented at Creighton are of the same caliber that entertain New York audiences nightly. The Creighton Players feel that if a production is to be offered to the audience of the University it must be one of the highest type. All offerings are chosen from an educational and entertainment standpoint. The fact that the students of the University are interested in dramatics is evidenced by the large turnouts at tryouts for the various productions. Due to the fact that so many students tryout for the parts, it is possible to present excellent casts in all presentations. The addition of the affiliated schools of the University has made it possible to obtain very suitable characterizations for the feminine characters in the plays. The fact that the student body of Creighton is composed of students of diversified interests makes it possible to obtain characters suitable from a type standpoint. Dramatics are given encouragement at the University because it is felt that through the media of the stage the students are given an opportunity of displaying their inner feelings and capa- bilities. Student actors are given an opportunity of showing how they believe the character in the script should be portrayed and if the student ' s idea is in keeping with the plan of the author the student is permitted to portray the characterization as he feels it ought to be played. A point stressed in dramatics at Creighton is that plays are present ed for the edification Buck Rou: Dwycr, O ' Neill, Boohcr, Moroncy. i ' roiif Row: Armbrust, A.

Corboy, S.J., moderator, and Milton A. Rieck, director, guided the Players during the past year. This marked the third year that Father Corboy and the second year that Milton A. Rieck have acted in their respective capacities. Students are permit- ted to conduct the presentations as much as possible. The first dramatic organization on the campus, The Mask and Wig Club, was founded in 1922. The original group was a very exclusive organization but the present Creighton Players is a very democratic group and all stu- dents manifesting an interest in dramatics are permitted to affiliate themselves with the organization. The initial production of the year was Your Uncle Dudley, a three-act comedy. Walter Armbrust, star of several of last year ' s hits, again carried honors in this presentation. Mary Emilie Flynn, also a star of previous offerings, carried second honors in this comedy. Other members of the cast included Emma Sprecher, William Roach, Robert Gilmore, Margaret Duffy, John Grabow, and Rita Brennan. The play was concerned with everyday people in any mid-western city. Armbrust depicted a bachelor, the leading light of his community, who gives all of his time, money and self for the reward of flattering speeches and silver loving cups. He is finally torn between complications in his own love affair, the love affair of his niece, and the receipt of a gold loving cup — his crowning desire. The manner in which Uncle Dudley gets around this predicament is the plot of the play. The second o ffering of the current year was The Bad Man. The Bad Man, as por- trayed by Robert Booher, was a hard drinking, rough and uncouth Mexican desperado. Maurice Langdon played the wheel-chair-ridden Uncle Henry and much was added to the play by his witty remarks. The part of Morgan Pell, the Wall street broker, was played to advantage by Russell Blumental. Norman Nolan, Ann Langley, William O ' Neill, Marie The Cast of The Bad Mai [177] A Scene from uibTLiNG in the Dark Mann, John Moroney, Paul Dearmin and Gildo Cortese completed the cast. The scene of the play was laid in the desertlands along the Mexican border and the entire play takes place in one room of a ranch house. The concluding presentation of the current year was Whistling in the Dark, a melo- dramatic comedy. Thomas Golfer portrayed Walla ce Porter, an author of mystery thrillers, the leading male character. Mary Martin played the part of Toby Van Buren, Golfer ' s fiancee. A rough and tough gang leader, Ed Dillon, was depicted by Edward Gondon. The cast also included Tina Gampagna, Edward McGarthy, John Tipton, Abe Katz, Joseph Ruda, James Ghapman, and John Moriarity. The last play of the year was sponsored by the Greighton Women ' s club while all of the other presentations were sponsored by the Greighton Players. Perfect settings and technical service were executed by Frank Roach, stage manager; Soren Munkhof, assistant stage manager; Robert Gilmore, property manager, and Paul Dearmin, electrician. Officers of the Greighton Players for the past year were Maurice Langdon, president, and Frank Roach, secretary-treasurer. Drama and Comldv [178] 9 9 Spiritucil Liic Rev. Francis Deglman, S.J. Spiritual Counselor Spiritual Life XVLaintaining the standards set up by Catholic universities and colleges throughout the world, Creighton university is not merely concerned with the material benefits of education but also with the spiritual developments of the individual. The Sodality of the Immaculate Conception is a reli- gious organization of Catholic students who propose to aim at a more than ordinary degree of earnest and practi- cal Christian virtue. The purpose of the sodality, how- ever, is not limited to fostering the personal piety of its members. It aims, furthermore, at instructing them in methods of Christian zeal and charity, and stimulating them to Catholic Action in the performance of social works. The University Sodality comprises the sodalities established in each of the University departments. Together with the sodalities of the affiliated schools the University Sodality forms the University Sodality Union, the College section of the Omaha Sodality Union which in- cludes the High School Sodality Union of nine high school sodalities. At the head of the Omaha Sodality Union for the year was John Beckley, Medical senior, assisted by Merle McDermott, Law senior, and Miss Nan Riley, Duchesne College. Each Sodality has its own board of officers, consisting of a prefect, with two assistants, secretary and treasurer, and minor officers. Prefects of the various departments for the year were: Robert J. Booher, College of Arts and Sciences; Jack A. Leary, College of Com- merce; Mary Agnes Green, University College; Emery J. Bourdeau, School of Medicine; Merle E. McDermott, School of Law; Arthur Kiely, School of Dentistry; Felix L. Schmitz, College of Pharmacy; Herman J. Dippel, College of Journalism. Heading the list of activities participated in by the Catholic students of the University was the regular chapel meetings of the Sodalities of the undergraduate departments which Buck Rolf: C.

The Sodality Council of these departments met bi- weekly to promote the interests of their individual so- dalities. Monthly meetings were called for the Sodalities of the professional schools and conferences with the officers were held at intervals to promote spiritual activi- ties. The Executive Board of the Sodality Union, com- posed of the prefects and secretaries of the individual sodalities, met every second month to outline the pro- gram of Union efforts. The Sodality Study Club, an open forum for discussion of Catholic principles and ideals in connection with cvirrent events, was a prominent activity of the Union. The study club met every second Thursday during the first semester and once a month during the second semester. Robert Gilmore, Arts junior, was president of the club and Nan Riley of Duchesne was secretary. The Xavier Forum, a collegiate unit for interest in the mission activities of the Church, held its meetings regularly on every second Monday of the month. Walter Smith, Arts junior, was chairman of the Forum and Ann Gillespie, College of St. Mary, and Betty Donahue, Duchesne College, were secretaries. The Sacred Sentinel Service was inaugurated by the Sodalities of the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Commerce, College of Journalism, and the University College, to render honor to the Blessed Sacrament on the First Friday of each month during the hours of expo- sition of the Blessed Sacrament in St. John ' s Church. Several prominent activities were sponsored by the Sodalities during the past year. The Solemn Sodality Reception of new members on December 8, at which the President of the University, the Very Reverend P. J. Mahan, S. J., gave the address and the Most Reverend Joseph F. Rummel, D.D., Bishop of Omaha, officiated. The ceremony was pro- Back Row: Skinner, Harding, J. Leary, C. Leary, Gilmore, Vinardi.

The annual retreat, held Wednesday, January 3 1 to Saturday, February 3, in St. John ' s Church was an im- pressive ceremony. The Very Reverend Daniel Conway, S. J., President of Rockhurst College, Kansas City, Mo., conducted the exercise. The Reverend William Robison, S. J., noted missionary priest, gave a series of conferences on life problems to the non-Catholic students. Reverend William Leahy, S. J., conducted the retreat for the women students of the University. The Sacred Pageant of the Life of Our Lord on March 22, in the Creighton Auditorium, portrayed in songs and speeches the chief events of the Divine Redeemer ' s sojourn on earth. The parts in the pageant and the choirs were selected from the sodalists of the various colleges. A general Sodality convention was held Sunday, April 8, to commemorate the 3 5 0th anniversary of the founding of the Sodality and the close of the Holy Year. The Mother ' s Day ceremonies on May 6, to honor as the ideal of motherhood the great Mother of God, was one of the outstanding ceremonies of the Sodalities this year. In charge of the Sodalities and religious activities was Rev. Francis G. Deglman, S. J., Student Councelor and Spiritual Director of the University. He was assisted by the Rev. Charles L. Crotty, S. J., director of the University College Sodality, the Rev. Francis X. Reilly, S.J., director of Sodality for Nurses at St. Joseph ' s Hospital and the Rev. William J. Leahy, S.J., director of Sodality for Nurses at St. Catherine ' s Hospital. Robert L. Gilmore President Study Club The Annual Retreat [182] ■ ■II— ■1111 im . , . Rodlio Rev. Leo H. Muli.any, S.J. Director The University of the Air R, -EALiziNG that through radio all may receive some of the advantages which are com- plement of a higher education, Creighton University brings the university into the homes of the friends of Creighton through the media of the Creighton Uni- versity of the Air. To those people of the middle west who are unable to attend schools of higher learning, the University of Air aims to give some of the cultural and educational advantages of the highly educated. The University of the Air, affiliated with radio station KOIL, broadcasts a fifteen minute program at 4:45 p.m. daily, with the exception of Saturday and Sunday, from the remote control studio located on the fifth floor of the Administration building. The program is broadcast on an authorized frequency of 1260 kilocycles or 238 meters. Although lectures by faculty members are featured on the programs, outstanding papers by students are read at intervals. A series embraces from three to five lectures which are given on corresponding days of the week. All departments of the university contribute to the series of programs. A new feature introduced to this year ' s audience was the Students ' Round Table which was prepared and presented by students of the College of Journalism. This program consisted of round table discussions of problems of the journalist and excerpts from the various publications of the university. The Creighton University of the Air, sponsored by the Creighton Alumni Association, is under the direction of the Rev. Leo H. Mullany, S. J., director, and Frank E. Pellegrin, assistant director, with Milton R. Frohm, Maurice Langdon and Robert Booher acting as staff announcers. RoBi R I liomii R Mil ION Frohm Maurice Langdon [184} 9 9 9 Music R. O. T.

Besides serving as the band for all military drills and parades, the group also furnished music for numerous outside activities during the year. Included among these activities were pep rallies on the campus and in down-town Omaha, all home football games, and other school functions. The band also furnished music at the Ak-Sar-Ben Exposition parade, the civic Armistice Day parade, the mid-year Uni- versity convocation and University- Alumni testimonial for Creighton ' s new football coach, Eddie Hickey. The group also played an invitation concert at St. Joseph ' s hospital. Much of the credit for the advance in student spirit and enthusiasm is due to the bands splendid cooperation in all student activities sponsored by the new Creighton Pep council. Included among the members of the band were freshmen and sophomores of the uni- versity who won acclaim during their high school days for their musical ability, many of whom won honors in city, district, state and national competition. Attired in striking white and blue uniforms the organization won acclaim at every public appearance, their maneuvers matching their playing ability. Working under Director Slezinger during the past year were Joseph Sobota, assistant director, Rudy Mayr, librarian and Joe Ruda, drum major. The University R.O.T.C.

On December 17, the orchestra presented its second annual concert in the university auditorium with a program of classical and modern numbers. Margre Abel, Duchesne senior, was soloist. By popular request the concert was repeated January 7. In May the orchestra appeared with the glee club and band in a Music Festival in the Central high school auditorium, sponsored by the Creighton Women ' s club. From the membership of the orchestra a group of fourteen was chosen to play in the Little Symphony under the direction of Henry Mendelson. Appearances were made at debates, the Oratorical Society contest and other affairs. Composed of thirty-five musicians, the group boasts an instrumentation equal to that of any university orchestra. The orchestra has a wide reputation throughout Omaha for its ability in interpreting musical numbers of universal fame. Weekly rehearsals are held by the group in preparation for public appearances and special rehearsals are held whenever needed. Milton R. Frohm has been concert-master of the orchestra for the past three years. The University Orchestra [187] Rev. Louis A. Bloomer, S.J. Moderii or The University Glee Club iTHOUT a representative vocal organization on the campus for over two years, a new glee club was organized in February to fill the need for such a group on the campus. John G. Jamieson, Sr., director of the choir at St. John ' s church, was chosen director of the glee club by the Rev. Louis A. Bloomer, S.J., moderator of university music. From a group of over forty who tried out for mem- bership in the glee club a representative group of twenty was finally chosen by Mr. Jamieson, to form the nucleus for campus vocal work. The glee club ' s only formal appearance during the semester was made at the Music Festival in May in conjunction with the university orchestra and the R.O.T.C. band. The program included many popular glee club numbers. The original personnel was composed of students from the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Commerce, School of Law, College of Journalism, School of Medicine and College of Pharmacy. Miss Margre Abel, of Duchesne college, accompanied the glee club in all appearances. The original membership consisted of Robert Andrus, Walter Armbrust, Abraham Appelsis, Don Baca, Robert Booher, Marion Buffington, Pat Egan, George Egermayer, Thomas Havel, Herman Jelinek, Francis Johnson, Alford Lantz, John Liebert, Patrick Lynch, Prentiss McArdle, John Melcher, Jack Mosher, Joseph Monteleone, Donald O ' Brien, Raymond Peter, Robert Phillips, William Roach, Vincent Rohrs, Earl Ross, Frederick Schwcrtley, Merlin Spain, Robert Swanson and Keith Wilson. Prospects for a more successful glee club next year are made evident by the fact that very few members graduate this year. ?

The purpose of the organization, as set forth by the college administrative staff, is to afford those students interested in voice an opportunity to unite and continue their study in this field. Rehearsals are held regularly at the college. It is at these meetings that plans for future programs are discussed and numbers to be sung by the group are chosen. Included in the repertoire of this choral group are both religious and secular numbers. The activity of the group is not limited and therefore it has been found necessary to include all types of numbers in the repertoire. Activities at which this group furnishes programs are retreats, chapel services and the various celebrations held both at the college and neighboring organizations. The Glee club, during the past year, put on a program over the radio which included both religious and secular numbers and plans are being formulated whereby they will pre- sent many such concerts in the future. The Glee club gives those students interested in music an opportunity to put their knowl- edge into actual practice. Besides learning voice culture the students are taught the funda- mentals of teaching music, which is important to the practicing teacher. The personnel of the organization includes Elizabeth Boyle, Ethel Connor, Lucille Doran, Mary Elizabeth Dougherty, Helen Jezewski, Mary Agnes Kavanaugh, De Nelda Kuehn, Geraldine McBride, Lucille McBride, Pauline Powers, Margarette Skomal, Elaine Svoboda, Rose Wehbey, Lois Rogers, Marguerite Harris, Mary Louise Schwertley, Margaret Walsh, Lucille Musilek, Margaret Ryan, Agnes Mooney and Katherine Hartley. Marie Daily is accompanist for the group. m %. i -- - Back Roif: E. Svoboda, M. Scliwertley, L. Doran, M. Kavanaugh, H. Jezewski, M. Walsh, D. Kuehn, M. Harris, R. Wehbey. Fro)if Roiv: L. Musilek, M.

Rogers [189] The Saint Joseph ' s Glee Club Xhe Saint Joseph ' s Glee Club was organized three years ago by a group of nurses who realized that a musical organization would add materially to the social and educational life at the hospital. The glee club is composed of girls possessing a mutual enjoyment in expressing them- selves in a musical sense. Membership is entirely voluntary as no one is compelled to be- come a member. Students are required to demonstrate an interest in the organization before they are given an opportunity of joining. Regular rehearsals are held at which time the various forms of choral singing are studied. The glee club is presented at most of the programs given at the hospital and the group is always willing to assist whenever needed to make the existence of their fellow men just a little more pleasing. The dramatic club and the glee club cooperate constantly in the production of programs. A very professional appearance is presented when the white-uniformed nurses appear in concert. Rehearsals and programs of the glee club are held in the auditorium-gymnasium of the Nurses ' home. Special training in small group singing as quartets, quintets and octettes is given the most competent of the student singers. The library of the club contains religious, classical, semi-classical, and semi-popular selections. The numbers best liked by the majority of the students are those to which the most stress is laid in preparing them for public presentation. Several of the more adept vocalists assist in musical extravaganzas presented by Creighton University. Members of the glee club are M. Brown, R. Burnett, M. Deily, D. Ekstrom, R. Farley, O. Judd, E. Miller, V. Miller, L. Peer, I. Small, H. Stava, B. Van Ackeran, B. Virgl, E. Widhalm and D. Wilkie. Top Row: E. Widhalm, H. Stava, R. Burnett, V. Miller, M. Deily, D. Wilkie, L. Peer Front Row: R.

Van Ackeren [190] The Duchesne Choral Club J_HE Duchesne Choral Club, under the direction of Eleanor Luberger, is composed of thirty students. The group studies a cappella and polyphonic choruses, and its repertoire includes classical, semi-classical and religious songs. The Choral club was formed in order that students interested in singing and in choral work might band together for their mutual advantage and to receive instruction in that field. It is intended not only to give students interested in group singing a chance to take part and sing in school programs but also to give those students more deeply interested a chance to learn something which may be of later advantage in either singing or in teach- ing singing. A smaller group of voice students selected from the membership of the Choral club, makes up the Glee club, which provides music for many special programs. The club sings at various social activities of the college. It lends its assistance at all feast-wishes, at Commencement exercises, and at religious services throughout the year. It assisted in the program given by the Creighton Sodality and at the Spring Music Festival. The club, assisted by individual soloists of the college, presented a recital at the close of the school term. Rehearsals are held twice weekly. Interest and ability in music are the requisites for membership. Those students interested in musical activities are given an opportunity of accompanying and directing the group. The Choral club aims to direct the understanding, feeling and taste of the music lover to the end of musical appreciation and interpretation. The members of the Choral club are: R. Arnold, M. Burke, M. Condon, M. Coufal, E. Creedon, M. Dunham, S. Dwyer, M. Fisher, F. Fitz-Dowd, R. Fulton, M. Gauvreau, M. Hayden, B. Harrington, M. Hiber, M. Lyon, Z. McAnany, B. McCreary, M. McQuillen, J.

The coronation ceremonies began with the entrance of the military guard followed by Lord High Ghancellor, Vernon Jensen, with his attendants and crown bearer. The Board of Governors then entered and took their places on either side of the royal throne. The royal princes marched in at the Ghancel- lor ' s call to take their places in a semi-circle in front of the throne. The Ghancellor identified the new king by striking the Grown Prince on the shoulder with the scepter. The king then took his place on the throne, assumed the royal robe and was crowned by the Ghancellor. The princes knelt in homage and then marched to the door of the throne room where they formed in files. The princesses entered to take their places in front of the line of governors and the princes returned to their places in front of the throne. Shortly after, the brilliant beams of the spotlight sought out the queen and followed her from the doorway, where she entered garbed in her queenly robe of purple velvet and silver, to the stage where she ascended the throne. Golfer was garbed in the king ' s robe of white velvet and silver, and a crown filled with sparkling jewels. The governors, princesses and princes paid individual homage to the king and queen and Thomas F. Golfer Kiir! CreighfoJ!

Members of the council, representing each of the recognized fraternities and wearing blue sashes across their shirt fronts as a means of identification, were presented keys emblematic of membership by the Rev. Leo H. MuUany, S.J., who officiated in the absence of the Rev. William J. Corboy, S.J., dean of men and moderator of the fraternal organization. Those who received keys and the fraternities they represented were: Forrest Brown, Psi Omega; Clarence Kurth, Phi Rho Sigma; Maurice Langdon, Delta Kappa Delta; George Pope, Phi Delta Chi; Louis Grant, Delta Theta Phi; George Mikesh, Gamma Eta Gamma; Vernon Jensen, Delta Sigma Delta; Jack Leary, Phalanx; Raymond Cooper, Phi Chi; Paul Brandt, Xi Psi Phi; Joseph E.

Presentation of the keys was a feature of the evening ' s program. The ceremony following was the most colorful and impressive ever used for such an affair. The walls of the ballroom were decorated with plaques and symbols of each of the recognized fraternities. Guests of honor for this social function which was restricted to fraternity members and faculty members of the university included the Rev. John Danihy, S.J., the Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S.J., the Rev. Leo H. MuUany, S.J., the Rev. George A. Deglman, S.J., Frank E. Pellegrin, Joseph P. Murphy, Dr. Bryan M. Riley, Dr. Fred J. Schwertly, Dr. Victor E. Levine, Dr. Frank D. Carman, Dr. Arlo M. Dunn, Dr. Frank J. Viner, Hugh F. Gillespie, Louis J. TePoel, Howard C. Newton, Charles Sprague, Dr. Floyd E. Walsh and Lawrence A. Cusack. The committee in charge of arrangements included Kyran Hynes, George Pope, Morris Blacker, Frank Lipp and Vernon Jensen. The Pan-Hflienic Ball [196] The Duchesne Mardi Gras J_ uchesne ' s most festive and formal party on its whole social calendar is the Mardi Gras Ball, which was held this year on February twelfth. It is an annual event sponsored by the Athletic Association. Seven princesses are chosen by vote of the student body, one of whom is selected as queen. The identity of the queen is not revealed until the coronation ceremonies on the evening of the Ball. Sheila Shirley, senior class president and president of the Duchesne student body, reigned over this year ' s court before an audience of three hundred, the largest ever to attend the ceremony. The college auditorium, decorated in a simple modernistic motif of black and silver was the scene of coronation. Princesses in the 1934 Mardi Gras court were: Margaret Burke, Elizabeth Donohue, Verone Gruenther, Mary Ellen Leary, Florence Swift, and Genevieve Welsh. Two former queens were among the spectators as well as many former princesses, stu- dents, and friends of the college. Eight pages, selected from the Duchesne primary grades, also assisted in the ceremony. Dressed in white, they escorted the princesses to the throne room, on the stage of the audi- torium, and carried the train of blue velvet robe worn by the queen. Miss Shirley was gowned in white lace, and the princesses wore straight-lined gowns in spring shades of blue, yellow and green. Music for the evening was provided by the Duchesne instrument quartet. Following the coronation and the presentation of flowers to Her Majesty, a program of singing and danc- ing numbers was offered.

Six hundred persons attending the affair, sponsored by Delta Morae of Phalanx, national honorary military fraternity, applauded the new commandant as she ap- peared garbed in full military uniform. The adjutant ' s call rang through the ballroom to formally open the ceremony as cadet officers presented sabers and saluted Cadet Lieutenant- Colonel Jack Leary. Leary marched to the stage and amid the blare of trumpets the curtain of the stage was parted revealing the new commandant of the unit. Escorted by Leary, Miss O ' Donnell marched under the arch formed by sabers of the officers to a position in the center of the hall. The remaining officers formed two lines facing the new honorary colonel, who was presented a West Point presentation saber with a gold and silver hilt.

Faculty Moderator The Agnew Loan Fund JX.EORGANIZATION of the SCt up of the Agnew Loan fund was effected during the past year under the supervision of the Rev. WilUam J. Corboy, S.J., dean of men and moderator of the fund. Under the new plan the Pep council, which also makes up the student loan fund committee, handles much of the detail work of making loans as well as gathering the contributions. In the past this work has been handled by Father Corboy and Al Fiore, director of the fund. Application for loans are made by the student to the pep council director in his respective unit. The director turns the application over to the dean of men and then makes an investigation of the needs of the student and turns in a written recommendation on the matter. The actual granting of the loan is handled as in the past by the dean of men and the faculty director. It is also the duty of the student director to notify the student as to the result of the application. The representatives handle the collection of the fund, as was the practice in the past. The board is organized and supervised by the Pep marshal who appoints all the directors and is advised by the dean of men and a faculty social relations representative. The Pep marshal and his board supervises collections, pep talks, meetings and the awarding of the Loyalty cvip and makes arrangements for the Agnew Loan fund dance. The Agnew Loan fund is a student loan fund in every phase since it is the students who contribute and borrow from it. All male students of the university are eligible to seek financial assistance from the fund.

Students are granted their loans in order of application and as far as possible loans are distributed among the depart- ments on the percentage basis. The student fund idea was an outgrowth of the wish expressed by the Rev. William Agnew, S.J., late president of the university, that no needy and worthy student be denied a Catholic education by being forced to leave the university due to financial difficulties. More than 200 needy students have received loans since the fund was established as a living memorial to Father Agnew in 1929 under the general chairmanship of Al Fiore. The directors who worked with the pep marshal in handling the loans during the past year were: John Beckley, medicine; Soren Munkhof, journalism; Roman Galles, commerce; George Pope, pharmacy; Edward Hart, arts; Vincent Head, law, and Renaldo Menghini, dentistry.

Pep ActiDities Pep Activities J.HE Student Pep council, working under the direction of a Pep Director, was organized in the fall of 1933 and since its founding has been the most active student organization on the campus in the direction of student affairs and the promotion of spirit and enthusiasm among the student body. Working under the direction of James A. Chapman, junior in the school of law, the organization proved the driving force behind all demonstrations of student spirit, sponsor- ing activities that were numerous and school- wide in scope. The history of the council begins in the spring of 193 3 when the Board of Governors of the Students Union, realizing the dearth of school spirit at Creighton, conducted among leading universities an investigation as to the best means of forming a student group who could remedy the situation. The investigation was nation-wide and as a result Chapman was appointed Pep Marshal with full power to direct all campus activity relative to school spirit. Work began with the opening of the fall semester and Chapman aligned as his assistants a Board of Directors consisting of one student from each of the regular schools and colleges of the university. This student board was to act as an advisory council to the pep marshal and to serve as a unit in the execution of the pep program. This council in turn selected one member of each of the classes of his respective college, making an advisory board of twenty-eight members. Organized in this manner the council had a complete organization. James A. Chapman Student Pep Marshal Beckley Hi ad MiNGWiM MuNKHt)! Gai.i 1 ■ Hari [204} The first act of the council was the appoint- ment of a new group of cheerleaders to instill spirit in the student body at athletic contests. The initial rally sponsored by the organization proved to be an outstanding success with stu- dents, faculty members and alumni cooperat- ing at a bon-fire demonstration that heralded a new era in Creighton spirit. The following day, just before the Creighton-Kansas football game, the R.O.T.C. band paraded through downtown Omaha making an impressive show- ing. This demonstration was followed the next week by another mammoth bon-fire and snake- dance throughout downtown Omaha in which hundreds of students participated. It was not vmtil Homecoming on Octobe 21, however, that the trvxe worth of the new organization became evident. On the morning of Homecoming the council, in collaboration with other student organizations, staged the largest parade in the history of Creighton, the entire line of floats, cars and students reaching over a mile in length. Demonstrations were also staged between halves of the Homecoming football game. After a series of send-offs to the traveling football team, the council took another big step forward in the inauguration of a Dads Day on November 1 8, date of the Creighton- Oklahoma Aggie football game. A creditable number of Dads were present at the affair which was climaxed by a Father-Son banquet in the evening. Another feature of the day was the election of a Blue-Jay Sweetheart, chosen from girls registered in the seven major departments of the University. Miss Nancie Lee Hayes was chosen and presented to the student body between the halves of the game. Another major enterprise sponsored by the Pep Council was the Agnew Student Loan Nancie Lee Hayes Blue-Jay Succtheart R. Howell V. Mancuso H. Fochtman M. E. Martin G. Stockert J. Simplot [205} Cheer Leaders Fund drive opened three years previously as a living memorial to the late Rev. William H. Agnew, S.J., former president of Creighton. Besides supervising the drive for funds in the various departments, the council sponsored two Loan Fund dances which were well attended by both students and alumni. Soon after the opening of the basketball season another cheering section, known as Knights of the Blue-Jay was organized by the council. This organization occupied a special section at all basketball games and acted as the nucleus of all student cheering. The council showed its real worth when it promoted a student rally in honor of the defeated Creighton team after a disasterous road-trip, something unheard of in college athletics. The last large function sponsored by the organization was a get-together smoker for Coach Eddie Fiickey, March 6 in the Creighton gymnasium. Students, faculty members, alumni and friends of the university gave Creighton ' s new coach a splendid welcome and pledged support during the coming football season. So, since its inception last fall, the Pep council has developed into a major organization at Creighton, proving that student spirit is always present if directed in the right channels. Realizing the importance of the organization, the Union Board of Governors has granted a charter to the group making it a permanent campus organization. Much of the success of the organization is a result of the splendid work and efforts of the director, James Chapman. Universiiy Usherettes [206] , , Militciri| Hardin C. Sweeney Major Infantry R. O. T. C. X_iSTABLiSHED at the University in 1919 as a part of the Organized Reserves of the United States Army, the Creighton university Reserve Officers Training Corps has made steady progress until at the present time it is rated as one of the finest college units of the nation. The unit was primarily established to train students during the time of peace so that they could be leaders and to furnish reserve military strength should the need arise during the time of national conflict. The first corps supplanted the Students Army Train- ing Corps which had been established at all colleges and universities to supply officers during the World War. This action was taken in accordance with the National Defense Act of 1916. The first member of the Creighton corps to receive a commission was a student who was given a second-lieutenancy in 1921. It was through this step that he received membership in the Organized Reserves of the United States Army. Since that time many students have either received commissions in the service or have been given certificates of eligibility in this group. The Creighton corps is composed of four companies under the direction of a cadet lieutenant-colonel and a cadet major who are selected by the army personnel of the uni- versity. The officers of the unit are selected from among the second year advanced students and the sergeants from among the first year advanced students. The rank and file of the corps is composed of basic students, the corporals being selected from the second year basic class. Student leaders who learn the qualities of an officer by commanding their units direct the activities of the battalion, companies, platoons and squads. Although these students Company A [208] Frederick V. M. Dyer Captain Infantry direct these activities, there is supervision by the faculty of the mihtary department. In each case an instructor serves as tactical officer for each of the companies in the unit. The students are taught the theory of drill in classes which are under the direction of the faculty instructors. This is in addition to the military drill periods which are held weekly. The United States Army personnel at the university includes Major Hardin C. Sweeney, Infantry, commandant; Captain W. R. Higgins, Infantry; Cap- tain F. V. M. Dyer, Infantry; Sergeant Curtis D. Kier and Sergeant Lawrence J. Dempsey. The military students engage in marksmanship matches in addition to the regular routine work in classes and drill. Each year the cadets figure in the shooting competitions held on the rifle range at Plattsmouth, Nebraska, and participate in the competition known as the inter- school athletic and military meets. In addition, the rifle teams compete in telegraphic matches with the leading universities and colleges in the country as does the coed rifle team which is also under the direction of the military department. During the past year the activity of the rifle teams, both the men ' s and coed ' s, expanded as it never did in previous years. Numerous new universities were met and the team made several trips to fire on the oppositions ranges. A number of individual awards are given to students and other awards are made to the units proving themselves most efficient in the various branches of military. The best cadet officer, the best military cadet and the best first year basic cadet are chosen each year and are given awards for their proficiency in military drill and tactics. The best rifleman in the battalion is also given an award as is the first year student who writes the best essay on the National Defense Act. An award is also presented to the out- standing coed rifler. This award is given by members of the military department faculty. The Omah a Chamber of Commerce flag is given annually to the company deemed out- COMPANY B [209] m Wilfred R. Higgins Captain Infantry Standing in all branches of drill. Ribbons are also awarded at the annual field day for the company, pla- toons and squads winning in the various military com- petitions of the day. Included among the subjects in which instruction is given are first aid, rifle marksmanship, musketry, scout- ing, patrolling, military law, automatic rifle, machine gun, military history, military engineering, map making, trench mortar and howitzer and in general military attack. The standing of the unit with respect to the other training units in the Seventh Corps area is determined by the results of the annual inspection. The inspecting officer tests the cadets in each of the four classes in the various courses in which they have been instructed during the year. He also inspects the work of the units in the annvial field day events. The corp is rated poor, good or superior as a result of these tests. In order to qualify for their commission the members of the advanced classes must attend a six weeks R.O.T.C. camp at Fort Crook, Nebraska, each summer. Cadets from the R.O.T.C. units at the University of Iowa, University of Nebraska, University of South Dakota and Creighton assemble at the camp for practical experience in military drill and tactics. At the camp the cadets and the companies and other units figure in competition in military subjects, rifle marksmanship and athletics. There is also competition between the representatives of each university in these subjects. Creighton students have always taken leading parts in both the military and athletic competitions. The cadets also fire on the army ranges and representatives are sent from the camp to the national rifle and pistol matches at Camp Perry each year. The military unit during the past year did not limit its activities to university affairs but also participated in numerous civic parades, exhibitions and demonstrations. Company C [210] Jack A. Leary Cadet Lieutenant-Colonel Included among the affairs at which the entire unit made personal appearances were the Ak-Sar-Ben Empire Exposition, the Omaha Armistice Day parade, the Alumni Homecoming parade, rallies and various wel- comes for officials and administrative officials of the uni- versity and other organizations. Members of the unit also served as color bearers and as guard of honor at the commencement exercises and ushered at the various debates, contests, concerts and dramatic productions presented in the university audi- torium and gymnasium. At the football games played on the Hilltop football field, members of the first and second advanced officers acted as head ushers. Ruling over the Creighton R.O.T.C. unit was Miss Rosemarie O ' Donnell, the seventh honorary colonel of the unit, who was revealed at the annual military ball sponsored by Phalanx, honorary military fraternity. In the past years, the annual military ball was sponsored by Chi Delta Chi, local military fraternity. Last year, however, they received a charter from the national Greek letter organization and are now known as the Delta Morae of Phalanx. There are only four chapters of Phalanx in the country, Creighton being the last to be granted a charter. This came about as the result of the high rating awarded the Creighton R.O.T.C. unit by government officials and as the result of the extensive campaign in which the unit participated. Miss O ' Donnell, in the capacity of the honorary commandant, made personal appearances in behalf of the military unit and was present at the Military Day ceremonies, at which the various awards were made to the companies and individuals who had distinguished themselves in their respective field of military activity. Crowning Miss O ' Donnell honorary commandant set a precedent for the military unit Company D [211] Second Year Advanced of the university since it was the first time in the history of such affairs that a student enrolled in one of the major units of the university was awarded this coveted title. In the past year students enrolled in the affiliated schools of the university were revealed as honorary commandants at the ball which were attended by military students of Creigh- ton and nearby universities, administrative officials and guests of honor. The honorary commandant began her reign officially after she was presented at the ball, although unofficia lly her term started at a banquet preceding the ball. Her identity was not revealed to anyone, including members of the fraternity, until the dinner at which time she was introduced by the cadet lieutenant-colonel of the unit. All military classes are held on the second floor of the gymnasium where class rooms are maintained by the unit. Classes in map reading, military tactics and problems are held throughout the week with each company being assigned to different days. These classes are held under the direction of the regular army officers of the unit. The main R.O.T.C. storerooms for equipment are on the first floor of the gymnasium. Equipment is checked out before every outside drill and returned immediately afterward. The office of the com- mandant is located at 2 5th and Cass streets, where all executive work of the unit is carried on. . ► 1?

Rothkop, DeVore, Morris, Prof. Cusack, Jelinek, Stuart, A. Fitzpatrick The Chamber of Commerce The Creighton Chamber of Commerce, honorary organization of the College of Com- merce, was established in 1928. The purpose of the organization is to encourage and reward scholarship, leadership and accomplishment along the lines of business activity among the students of the department as well as to promote student interest in the problems of the commercial world, and to form an effective working unit for the promotion and execution of such student activities as are conducive to the best interest and welfare of all students in the college. Membership is honorary and is based upon character, scholarship and a manifestation of interest in the college and its activities. The Economics Club The Economics Club was organized to promote interest in subjects of an economic nature. The club was formed in the fall of 193 3 and has been very successful since its inception. Membership is made up from two groups. The active members are undergraduate stu- dents in the College of Commerce; associate members are faculty members and students of other departments of the University who are interested in the purpose of the organization. The club has no officers but is managed by an executive committee chosen from the active membership at the beginning of the second semester.

Bottom: Riemer, Neigus, Smrha, Murphy, Dr. Willielmj, Lev, Lipp The Caducean Society The Caducean Society was founded in 1931 by a group of medical students endeavor- ing to stimulate interest in cultural subjects. In this undertaking they were inspired by the late Dr. Herman von W. Schulte and Charles Wilhelmj, professor of physiology. One of the most interesting features sponsored by the group during the past year was a series of talks given by world famous surgeons. Members are chosen on a basis of their scholastic standing and active interest in extra- curricular activities of a cultural nature. The officers are: John J. Murphy, president; James Smrha, vice-president; Morris Lev, secretary, and George Bien, treasurer. The Medical Forum The Medical Forum, the second cultural group to be organized in the School of Medicine at Creighton University, was founded during the current year by a small group of inter- ested students. The aim of the Medical Forum is to afford opportunity for self-expression and thought on subjects of moral importance to members of the medical professions. Speakers address the group at meetings which are followed by discussions. Officers of the Medical Forum this year were: John J. Murphy, president; John Beckley, vice-president; A. Elio Allegrini, secretary, and George Arnold, treasurer. Top: Collins, Smrha, Arnold, Green, Williams, Duggan. Bottom: Lev, Allegrini, Murphy, Beckley, Lipp [261] f f ftl?

Maulick, J. Simplot, M. Duffy, J. Phelan, Rohrs, Quick The Pasteur Club The Pasteur Club, one of the fastest growing groups on the campus, was organized in April, 1929, by a group of biology students. Under the leadership of D. Ivan Farns- worth, then professor of biology, the club grew and prospered until today it is the largest club in Creighton. At present it comprises a membership of 15 0, all of whom are in some way connected with the department of biology, under the direction of Gregor Pirsch and John Sheehan, of the biology department. The club has its regular monthly meetings on the first Tuesday of every month. It has always been the policy of the club to have guest speakers at all of its meetings. Usually some prominent person is invited to speak to the members on various scientific subjects. As an added attraction at each meeting members read papers on various scientific sub- jects which are recorded and placed on file for future references. It is thus hoped that a miniature library on scientific subjects will be built up within the next few years. The purpose of the club is not only for its educational benefits, but to foster social activity among its members. The Pasteur club dinner-dance, held annually, is the climax of the club ' s social activities. This affair, usually held in May, is always a brilliant event. The officers of the club for the year have been: John Porter, president; Walter Armbrust, vice-president; Edward Nemec, secretary-treasurer, and Nina Rossito, reporter. f 1 f r B ' 2SI21I rrpr- 1 fli i r ■ I ' i%n. . tilrri m f Top: Sobota, Cjcrmon, Dearmin, Savage, Giovalc, Kuccra, Kovar, Hoffmann Middle: Brown, Ryan, Buffington, Prof. Pirsch, Baca, Hcdrick, O ' Brien, Bernarz, Kemp, Prof. Sheehan Front: Mayr, M.

The group was founded when the need of closer relationships of students of the profession of Law was realized. The club attempts to furnish its members with a close-up view of the inner-workings of the present-day law office. Meetings are held every other week and a banquet is given once a month. A prominent personage in his chosen profession is a featured speaker at each of these gatherings. The officers for the past year have been Sidney Epstein, president; Hyman Goodbinder, vice-president, and Russell Blumenthal, secretary. The Polish Club The Polish Club, one of the youngest language clubs on the campus, was organized in 1930 and since that time has gained recognition among the outstanding clubs of the Uni- versity. The purpose of the group is to study and perpetuate Polish culture. The Polish club does not limit its activities to the campus, but gives programs dealing with Polish history and traditions, in the three local Polish parishes of Omaha. The present administration consists of Walter R. Bednar, president; Edward Koziol, chairman of the program committee, and Walter J. Bednarz, chairman of the religious committee. Dr. A. A.

Membership is limited to those students taking Spanish and those who ably speak the language. Regular meetings are held once a month, while special meetings are called to discuss important matters of current interest. The present moderator of the club is Professor Elzear J. Moreau. The officers for the year have been: Ernest Kastl, Ann Fitzpatrick, Edward Lawler and John Moriarity. The Czech Club The Creighton Czech Club, one of the oldest and most active organizations on the campus, was formed in 192 3 with the purpose of bringing together the Czech students of the various departments of the university and to cultivate a widespread interest in the Czech language, literature, history and the tradition of the country by means of monthly meetings. Socially, the club presents at least one dance in the Catholic Sokol hall in Czech attire and with Czech music. The club this year was directed by Edward Hulac, president; Joseph C.

The French Club Organized in 192 5 by Dr. A. A. Klammer, professor of modern languages, the French club has been an integral part of the campus life. It has advanced along both cultural and social lines and is today one of the most active of the language groups. It was formed to develop and increase interest in French life, language, customs, tradi- tions and history and to put into practical use the French learned in the classroom. With this aim, the French language is spoken exclusively at the meetings. Recitations, lectures, dialogues, songs, and plays are also given in the French language. Dr. A. A. Klammer and Professor E. J. Moreau are moderators of the club. The Campus Club Orchestra The Campus Club Orchestra was organized this year by the Pep Council, and as the official pep orchestra of the University the group played at basketball games, rallies and campus dances. Robert Andrus, director, and Henry Mendelson, manager, were responsible for the success of the organization. The orchestra furnished an accompaniment for all group singing of pep songs at the various athletic encounters and pep rallies. The personnel included George Foley, Robert Phillips, William Kelly, Dexter Jones, Frank Corrigan, Carl Sagness, Herman Jelinek, and Robert Andrus, director.

The Saint Joseph ' s Literary Club Xhe Literary Club at Saint Joseph ' s Hospital School of Nursing was organized in 1932 with a small membership, w hich now has grown to a group of 36 members. The club meets the third Saturday of each month in the parlor of the Nurses ' home. Some of the books which have been reviewed by members include: Microbe Hunters, South Moon Under, As the Earth Turns, Anthony Adverse, and Miss Bishop. A review lecture series was sponsored by the club including a review of These Changing Years, given by Mrs. R. P. Jones; a lecture on the life of Marie Antoinette, reviewed by the Rev. Alfred Kaufman, S.J., and Thunder and Dawn, given by Professor P. Raymond Nielsen. Plans for the school year of 1934-3 5 include more book reviews by the student nurses and a larger and more comprehensive review lecture series by members of the faculty of Creighton and others well versed in the literary field. More emphasis will be given to the field of biography and mention will b e made of the literary value of past and current plays. Continued effort will be given to the modern novels and the value derived from them in relation to modern life. Many nurses took an active part in the Literary Club activities this year and with many prospective members showing interest in the literary field the membership will probably be enlarged next year. With more lectures and reviews scheduled for next year the club is attempting to include as members every nurse in the hospital. Membership in the club this year consisted of E. Kirk, R. Hobza, R. Burnett, H. Meysemburg, D. Hansen, E. McDermott, A. McConnaughhay, M. Walla, J. Bueltel, R. Farley, N. Mayer, V. Miller, A. Wagner, M. Con- nolly, P. Clikeman, E. Miller, C. Gannon, L Small, A.

This is the first feminine journalistic organization on the campus. The purpose of the organization is to broaden journalistic interest, to further contacts among newspaper men and women and to create a social atmosphere among women journalism students. Membership to the club is limited to the women students of journalism who satisfy the necessary scholastic and journalistic qualifications. Regular business-social meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month. At these gatherings a prominent journalist is guest speaker. A general discussion of the speaker ' s topic is followed by the monthly business of the club. Social activities close the meeting. One regular meeting of the year is set aside as guest night. Each member is privileged to invite a guest to this meeting. An annual social event is held in the spring of each year for which invitations are issued to the faculty members of the College of Journalism, to the members of Phi Epsilon, local journalistic fraternity, and to their guests. Each member assists in the publication of the Blue- Jay and Crcighfoniaii. Further, they cooperate with the members of Phi Epsilon to secure the success of journalistic enterprizes. Plans have been made for next year to further the acti- vities of the Press club along social and journalistic lines. Hopes for increasing the membership have been ex- pressed in order that the group may become one of the largest as well as most active on the campus. Oflicers of the Coed Press Club for the year ' 3 3- ' 34 have been: Cecelia Wirth, president; Betty Lewis, vice- president; Viola Mae Zikmund, treasurer; Frances John- son, secretary, and Teresa Peter and Rosemary Howell, reporters. Cecelia Wirth Mrs. Myrtle Mason, society editor of the Omaha Bee- Presiileiit News is advisor to the group. [268} Back Row: E. McMahon, D. Kuehn, J. Phelan, A. Fitzpatrick, M. C. Maulick, J.

Mann The Creighton University Coed Sodality Xhe Sodality of the Blessed Virgin, organized in 1933, is composed of Catholic women enrolled in the College of Commerce, the College of Journalism and the University College. Although less than a year old, the unit already boasts thirty-four enthusiastic members. Instituted with the avowed purpose of inspiring its members to live according to the doctrines of Mother Church, and in the development of sincere Catholic leaders, the So- dality is displaying true ardor under the direction of Rev. Charles L. Crotty, S. J., moderator. Holding bi-weekly meetings at which they read the Office of the Blessed Virgin and recite the Litany, the group hear a short talk by Father Crotty concerning different topics •of current interest. Following this the meeting is thrown open to free discussion before settling the various business matters on hand. In the past few months the Sodalists have taken steps to promote and foster concrete ■expressions of devotional activity. Several members are at present conducting Sunday ;lasses in religion for those grade school children who are unable to attend Catholic schools. As this book goes to press, final plans are under way for the organization of The Guild of Saint Francis de Sales, patron saint of all journalists. This very worthy project, conceived and sponsored by Father Crotty, aims at the correction of misstatements in the public print, and especially such statements as are relative to educa- tion and the Catholic religion. For the time being the Guild will be under the supervision of the present So- dality officers. Much credit for the success of the diverse endeavors •of the new Sodality is due to the officers who have un- selfishly devoted considerable time to the work. The -officers for this year were: Mary Agnes Green, prefect; Consetta Campagna, assistant prefect; Eileen Duffy, secretary-treasurer and Eleanor Lynch, mission repre- Mary Agnes Green tentative.

It 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, with which it is affiliated. All the students of the college are eligible to membership in the Children of Mary. At present there are thirty-eight members and thirty aspirants. The officers of the Sodality are: Mary Ready, president; Nan Riley, secretary; and Margaret Burke, treasurer, all Duchesne juniors. Affiliated with the college members of the Sodality are the graduate Children of Mary. There are one hundred and eighty-seven members in the graduate unit. The officers are: Mrs. M. R. Murphy, president; Mrs. J. C. Kinsler, vice-president; Mrs. N. C. Leary and Miss Adele Moores, secretaries, and Miss Philomena Gorman, treasurer. The members and aspirants of the college vmit hold weekly meetings at the College. The programs for the meetings consist of book reviews, discussions of current events and suggested activities, and short instructions. The activities of the Sodality included singing Christmas Carols during the holidays at various institutions in the city, including St. Joseph ' s and St. Catherine ' s Hospitals, the Hattie B. Munroe Home, and the Douglas County Hospital. The Sodalists also col- lect prayerbooks, rosaries, crucifixes, holy pictures and medals for needy missions. Probably the most interesting accomplishment was the erection of a Religion bulletin-board, on which were regularly posted clippings of current interest. The board was erected for the purpose of stimulating thought, criticism, and comment on religious topics of present- day importance. A calendar listing days of fast and abstinence and days of obligation was a regular feature of the bulletin board. Two sodalists were appointed each week to take Mary Ready Sodality Prefect charge of the board. [270] Top Row: N. Riley, E. Sedler, J. Iwersen, A. O ' Neill, M. Pelile, V. Gerhart Botlont Row: M. E.

Burke The Duchesne Dramatic Club J_HE Dramatic Club of Duchesne college has functioned since 1930 as an active unit of the student body. The aims and objectives of this organization are four-fold, namely, to attain professional standards of work and attitude in the production department of the school; to promote dramatic activities; to be active as a social organization in so far as the unit can encourage student election of dramatic courses, general attendance at try-outs, and participation in all kinds of back- stage crew work, and to uphold the traditions of the school. The first aim calls for student management of each of the college productions. This work includes all the duties of a production crew necessary for every production. This enables a number of students to gain the required experience, because the production schedule is never lighter than two major productions and five minor plays each year. At the monthly meetings, those students who have designated a preference are assigned to that particular department of the backstage organization. The second aim has been realized in the presentation of Assembly programs, consisting of student one-act plays, lecture recitals, and interpretation selections. Worthwhile pro- fessional and amateur attractions have been given favor- able publicity by this department in the arrangement of student theatre parties, advance ticket sales and other various duties. To meet certain requirements, the 193 3-34 Drama Club will be dissolved in favor of a greater Players organization for 1934-3 5. The constitution is in prepa- ration now for adoption at the October meeting next fall. Tentative plans indicate that the activity to be under- taken by this group next year will make it one of the most active on the college campus. The membership will be increased after next semester ' s enrollment has been included. Membership will be open to students in all classes of the college so that when the seniors graduate a nucleus will remain and the organization will continue Sheila Shirley to be an active group.

Powers The College of Saint Mary Sodality Xhe Sodality of the Blessed Virgin is the rehgious organization of the College of Saint Mary. It was formed for the spiritual advancement of its many members; for the promotion of good works, and its highest aspiration is to make its members concrete expressions of its ideals in faith, in character and in spirit. Annually, on December 8, Catholic students of the college are received into the Sodality, take the Sodality pledge to Mary and thus begin a life consecrated to Our Lady. Meetings are held weekly and the principal devotion of these meetings is the recitation of the office of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the college chapel. After the office various programs and business sessions take place from time to time, at which many successful projects have been suggested and carried out. A general discussion of the activities of the society always follows. The Sodality has made marked progress throughout this year. It is forging ahead with new projects, new members and new ideals. The bulletin board has been kept up-to-date with interesting and valuable material; attendance at the meetings has been high, and several sodality plays were given during the year. It has been the good fortune and pleasure of the Sodality to have addresses from members of the clergy, and illustrated lectures have, at times, been featured. The College of St. Mary Sodality was represented in the Xavier Forum, a collegiate unit of Creighton Uni- versity for interest in the Missions activities of the Church, by Anne Gillespie, Sodality prefect. During the past year Miss Gillespie was one of the acting secretaries of the Forum. Being affiliated with the Creighton University the College of Saint Mary Sodality was active in the Uni- versity Sodality Union. The annual May Day Celebration is the climax of a successful Sodality term. Representative members of the organization are chosen to take a special part in Anne Gili espie ceremonies, which consist in crowning Our Lady, Sodality Prefect Queen of the May.

Svoboda The College of Saint Mary Dramatic Club J_iSTABLiSHED Only four years ago, the Dramatic club of the College of St. Mary has made remarkable progress since its inception. The club was founded for all students interested in the various phases of dramatic art, and to encourage and increase interest in the drama. All acting, property work, make-up, and costuming is accomplished by the students. Members are admitted to the Dramatic club only when they have shown interest in dramatics by helping in the productions sponsored by the club. Short programs and one act plays are given from time to time in the College Lyceum for the entertainment of the students, the faculty and their friends. The biggest and most successful production of the current year was the presentation of The Swan , April 16 in the Creighton Auditorium, in which the College of Saint Mary Dramatic club cast was augmented by members from the Creighton Players. All dramatic work is under the direction of Milton A. Rieck, director. Many of the plays produced during the year were presented at the various schools of the Sisters of Mercy throughout the city. For Vocation Week a portion of the Dramatic club gave a play entitled The Key of Happiness , the theme of this play was sacrifice. The Veil Between was pro- duced in connection with Sodality work. For novelty the club wrote original plays and the best of these were selected to be enacted before the school. Next year, if the membership of the group permits, many dramatic productions will be presented and the organization will extend its activity even more than it did during the past season. No plays have yet been chosen for next season, according to the director. The officers for the Dramatic club for the past year were: Elizabeth Boyle, president; Rita Clare Browne, secretary-treasurer, and Mary Elizabeth Dougherty, Elizabeth Boyle pubUcity manager.

ITH A MEMBERSHIP Composed of all the Catholic nurses of the hospital, the Saint Joseph ' s Sodality serves as the main spiritual organization of the unit and follows a schedule of activity and meetings throughout the year. The Sodality meets every Sunday morning for a short convocation. The Rev. Francis X. Reilly, S.J., director of the Sodality since its organization, gives a short sermon at these gatherings. The first Sunday of every month is known as Sodality Sunday. The members of the So- dality receive Holy Communion in a body and each student wears her sodality medal. This is a very impressive scene and is a great instigator of faith. Social affairs are held in addition to spiritual activities. After a short meeting members of the student body furnish entertainment and a lunch is served. These gatherings tend to stimulate interest on the part of the members and help to make the Sodality a success. The Sodality tends to further faith in the individual Catholic student and also brings forth those ideals that are qualifications for membership. All members of the Sodality participate in a three- day retreat given by an outstanding member of the Jesuit order. In addition to the special Sodality work, the group holds regular meetings which are directed by the student officers under the supervision of the Sodality moderator. Special committees are appointed for the year to plan activities to be participated in by the members of the group. Social and musical committees are appointed to prepare entertainment for each meeting. The officers of the past year were: Catherine Gannon, prefect; Beatrice Van Ackeren, assistant prefect; Ger- „ „ trude Savidec, secretary-treasurer, and Margaret Dor- Catherine Gannon ■ ' Sodality Prefect wart, sacristan.

O ' Keefe The Saint Joseph ' s Dramatic Club .Z .TTEMPTiNG to further the interest of the student nurses of Saint Joseph ' s Hospital in the study of dramatic art and of play production, the Dramatic Club has completed its fifth year of existence. All productions staged by the club this year were directed by Walter A. Armbrust, Creighton Arts sophomore. Some of the activities carried on by the club during the past year included the showing of several one-act plays and programs of varied natures. Besides entertaining the various groups in the hospital the plays gave actual training to the student nurses taking part and were very valuable to those interested in dramatics. Besides the actual action which is carried on by the student nurses, the members of the staff do their own make-up work and care for the properties and prepare costumes for each production. In order to be eligible for membership to the club, each student nurse must appear in at least one production given by the club. In order that all nurses might have a chance to take part in at least one production and be eligible for membership, a special committee system is used. Being fostered by the Hospital authorities the members are assessed monthly dues in order to keep the organization running. The work is under the direction of a faculty moderator, the officers of the club and director. Plans are being formulated for further activity inta the dramatic field next year at the Hospital. With more nurses showing interest this year in the drama and signi- fying their intentions of joining the Dramatic Club, the outlook for the organization next year seems bright. A more extensive schedule of plays have been planned by the officers of the club for next year. Besides completing arrangements for several addi- tional one-act plays the organization has planned varied programs to be presented at the regular meetings of the club next year. Miss Eileen Miller, Dramatic Club president, had direct charge of all productions and the assembling of Nurses Eileen Miller wishing to take part in the various plays.

William J. Leahy, S.J., moderator. Weekly meetings are held in the Nurs es ' home of the hospital. Several religious devotions are held at regular intervals by the group. The office of the Blessed Virgin Mary is recited at the devotions and a sermon is given at the weekly meetings. A feature of the services is the singing of hymns in which the entire group assists. On the first Friday of every month the Sodalists receive Holy Communion in a body. All members of the Sodality participate in the annual three-day retreat given by some outstanding member of the Jesuit order. The Study club meets for a discussion period once a month. The Sodality is a branch of the Study club. The meetings of the group feature discussions on the activities of the organization and on different religious topics. A member of the Sodality gives a talk at each meeting and this is followed by a general discussion of the subject by all present. All Catho lic members of the student body are mem- bers of the Sodality, which is one of the most influential and important organizations of Saint Catherine ' s hos- pital. The Saint Catherine ' s Sodality has made marked progress throughout the past year, enthusiastic groups attending each meeting and many interesting discus- sions on current religious topics being held. With a member of the Sodality giving the main address at each of these meetings and a general dis- cussion of the topic by all of the members in a round- table discussion, all of those present were enabled to present their views on the subject.

Gourley Saint Catherine ' s Dramatic Club V OMPLETING its third year of existence, the Dramatic club of Saint Catherine ' s Hospital Nurses ' school presented three successful one-act plays during the past season. A new method of directorship was started this year with the adoption of the three- director system. Three members of the Creighton Players assumed direction of the club and Saint Catherine dramatics. Directors were Mary Emilie Flynn, Saint Mary ' s college graduate; Robert Gilmore, arts junior, and Frank Roach, arts junior. The main event of the year ' s activity was the presentation of three one-act plays. The Doctor ' s Wife was directed by Miss Flynn. Robert Gilmore supervised Who Are My Guests? Frank Roach was the director of Fantasy in a Museum. Admittance to the club is gained after appearance or production work in one of the plays or programs presented and sponsored by the organization. The presentations are given in the auditorium of the Nurses ' home. Besides the enter- tainment furnished the student nurses, the faculty and the patients who are able to attend, the plays gave actual training to the players, who were chosen from the membership of the club and those interested in participating in the produc- tions. Each member was given a chance to appear in at least one production during the year. Actual instruction in the essentials of dramatics was given by the directors. In addition to the actual experience that the members of the club get through participation in plays, they also learn the essentials of coaching dramatics and produc- tion work. The club, this year, limited its work to short programs and one-act plays. For next year, plans are under way for the presentation of several longer plays. Members of the club did the property work, make-up and costuming for all the plays. The organization also sponsored several social events during the year. Officers for the past year were Lois Mae PiKard, presi- ois AUl PiK rd dent, and Catherine Maginn, secretary-treasurer.

To the searching eye S. S. White Dental Equipment makes a strong appeal. The soundness and permanency of its value are suggested by its completeness, the conven- ience of its appointments, its simplicity, the sturdiness of its construction even to parts ordinarily unseen, the com- fort obviously afforded to both operator and patient, and the build-up feature of the unit. Entirely free of ornate adornment, the S. S. White Unit and Chair will be in good taste today and tomorrow; and to patients they will ever be a comforting assurance of com- petent, dependable service. S.
