J. 1866 - 1936 Late dean of the Creighton School of Journalism who elevated journalistic writing to the dignity of literature. THE PRESIDENT ' S MESSAGE GHE Graduates of 1936 are going forth from Creighton to join the ranks of those who, by their ideals, their principles, their activities, are shap- ing the civilization and destinies of our country. They have acquired, it is true, a certain amount of practical knowledge and practical skill which fit them for earning a livelihood and even for gaining a comfortable competence, but if this is all that they have gained, Creighton has failed in its sacred func- tion of forming youth for worthy living and the grad- uates themselves are going forth with but a stone when they should have been given bread. It is the hope of Creighton, however, 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.

These include the compilation of a Nebraska style hook, organization of a Hiiih School Journalism Instructor ' s Round Table and the issuance of personality sheets concernin j; the journalism students. The Nebraska style book was designed l)oth as a gesture toward closer professional relations between the Nebraska newspaper oflkes and the School of Journalism, and as a practical guide for editorial workers and the students of journalism throughout the state. The style book contains, in addition to the Canons of Journalism and the newspaperman ' s alphabet, both proof reading and editing marks. It was sent out to all Nebraska offices and to all teachers of journalism in the state. The Journalism Round Table was organized early in the year at a dinner-meeting at the Fontenelle Hotel sponsored by the School of Journalism. .At the meeting all the departments of journalism in Omaha and Council Bluffs high schools were represented. The third plan introduced in the School of Journalism was the circulation of per- sonality sheets to instructors which attempted to gauge the character of the students of journalism with the view toward aiding them. The Creightonian this year adopted a new headline style under the supervision of John Blough, managing editor and Marion McClintock, city editor. Its make-up has been conservative, its effort, to be published on time. Special editions were put out on Sll K I A.

Special editons were al- so edited and published by members of the freshman and the sophomore classes. Phi Epsilon, and Pi Delta Chi. Early in the year students organized a press club and throughout both semesters the group held regular meetings at which interesting talks were given by professional newspaper men. A new sorority. Pi Delta Chi. was or- ganized among the girls in the School of Journalism. As a professional journalism organization, its aim is to further among women journalism students greater interest in journalistic activity and to impress upon them the wide scope of the field into which they are entering. The School of Journalism offers sub- jects that will give the student a complete cultural background. Among the subjects offered are poetry, literature, mathematics, foreign languages, art, history, political science, philosophy, logic, ethics, and economics. For this reason it is necessary to correlate the facilities of the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Commerce and the School of Law with the specialized instruction given by the journalism faculty in the comprehensive four-year course necessary to obtain a bachelor of arts, a bach- elor of science or a bachelor of philosophy degree in journalism. Combined with the academic courses offered in journalism, students are afforded practical experience by means of a complete laboratory system. This system is main- tained through the mediums of a university newspaF er, a literary magazine, a year- book, an advertising bureau and a news bureau. The reportorial, editorial, mechani- cal distribution and advertising functions are performed entirely by the students. Rev, Thomas S. Bowuern, S. J. Regent W P.Avi Ernst Robert Mitllin Jerrv Gill Pierce Chambers 29 The College Commerce J. Ill: PURPOSE of the College of C )mnierce is to impart to its students a thorough training in the methods and fun- damental principles of modern business, and at the same time lay stress upon the practical application of these principles to the various branches in industry, com- merce, and finance. The student will thus be given a keener vision and a firmer grasp of all that makes for success in the sphere of business acti- vity, and at the end of a few years of busi- ness experience, will be farther advanced and possess a more comprehensive outlook over the whole field of business than he could have obtained during a lifetime of apprenticeship. The four-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Commerce comprises two natural divisions. The work of the freshman and sophomore years con- sists largely of required courses and has a two-fold purpose: to provide a broad cul- tural background and to furnish training in the fundamental principles of business. The work of the junior and senior years consists of the more highly specialized courses designed to develop keen analytical ability in business matters and to fit the student for active participation in his chosen field. The college maintains a Bureau of Busi- ness Research, which provides each student with ample experience in the application of statistical methods. Students in the College of Commerce receive the benefits of training under faculty members who are not only thoroughly trained in their respective fields and experienced I)K. Fi.ovi) K. Wai.sii Dean The College of Commerce Faculty 30 in teaching but who have likewise had ac- tual business experience in the branches they teach. The active demand for their services as special lecturers to business or- ganizations and groups evidences their broad knowledge of business problems of the day. A thorough reorganization and co-ordination of the courses of the curri- culum has produced an effective educa- tional program both for living and for making a living. The opportunity of study in philosophy, religion, and similar subjects under eminently capable Jesuit instructors plays a major part in the program. Gradu- ates of the department are continuing to prove the soundness of the course of study by holding responsible positions in business and financial circles. An important feature of the College of Commerce is the evening division, in which economics and accounting courses receive special emphasis. The majority of the stu- dents enrolled are employed men and women who are studying in fields related to their regular work. The location of the school in a large industrial and commercial center has obvious advantages. Frequent special lectures by business executives, field trips for inspection of plants and processes, and opportunities to attend sessions of state and national conventions of business associations held in Omaha all contribute to a practical knowl- edge of business, which is impossible to impart by text books alone. Contacts with business men and business firms aid the student in determining the particular field of business for which he seems to be best qualified and of which, therefore, he will wish to make a special study. .A knowledge of economics and business is highly desirable as a foundation for the study of law and other professions. Rev. George . . Deglmax, S. J. Regent Edmoni) Brick Frft) Meyer John Verschoor Harry McSloy 31 The College of Arts and Sciences J_HE College of Arts and Sciences, the oldest department of Creigh- ton university, is today ' s answer to the demand for cultural training which has largely been overthrown in this modern age of specialization in industry and education. Through its curriculum, which leads to- ward a general cultural education, the col- lege attempts to train the student for citizenship and for an invigorating and thoughtful life. To this end, the curricu- lum of the college is grouped around the disciplinary, cultural, and informational studies which are called liberal arts. Edu- cational courses are also offered for those who desire to take up the profession of teaching. This year, for the first time, the College of Arts and Sciences has placed in active use two scholarships. Every male honor student in each public or private school in the State of Nebraska is eligible to receive the President ' s scholarship. To obtain it, the student must be recommended by the principal of his school. The Creighton scholarship may be gained by male students during their junior and senior years. It is awarded only to students who complete their freshman and sophomore years in the College of Arts and Sciences. The naming of winners is left to the discretion of the dean and the committee on scholarships. In addition to the dissemination of general cultural education, the department has another duty, that of providing the general background for the student who goes into a professional school. Combination courses are offered to the student who wishes to Rkv. Juskph p. Zierchek, S. J. Dean f ? f « f f f V nr -fnrirr. The Collf.gl i Ai L i ' A. 32 fulfill the requirements of more than one department and to earn more than one de- gree before he leaves school. By careful regulation of courses, the student may ob- tain a background for liberal arts before specializing in the field he desires to enter. The specialization of the medical, den- tal and legal units is built upon a basic knowledge imparted by the College of Arts and Sciences. The Schools of Dentistry, Law, and Medicine are dependent upon the Arts college for the preliminary training of their students. The student taking pre- medicine, pre-law, or pre-dental work is en- rolled here for general work before going to the professional school for specialization. A wheel depends a great deal upon the hub which upholds the spokes. A univer- sity also, must have a hub upon which the various departments depend. At Creighton university, that supporting unit is the College of Arts and Sciences. Located in the administration building the department is in close association with the administrative officers, and it acts as the hub of the educational activities of the university. The pro- fessional schools branch out from this hub to form the spokes. Being in close contact with the university library and research departments, students have at their fingertips large storerooms of knowledge which are always ready for use. Students in the College of Arts and Sciences are the recipients of exceptional op- portunities in the wise guidance and unselfish interest of the teaching staff. Each fresh- man and sophomore student is assigned to some faculty member who acts as an ad- visor. When the graduate of the College of Arts and Sciences leaves Creighton, he has obtained the correct understanding of the value of life, through the medium of the liberal arts course he has completed.

RlIKV lOCATED in downtown Omaha with its clinic serving thousands of people of the poorer classes of the city annually, the School of Medicine is the oldest profes- sional department of Creighton University. Founded in 1892 this branch of Creighton draws more students from distant parts of the I ' nited States than any other one de- partment on the campus. The fact that nine times as many students annually ap- ply for admission to the School of Medicine as are admitted explains the demand for Creighton graduates as internes in leading hospitals of the nation. The Creighton School of Medicine not only sends out of its doors some of America ' s leading members in the medical profes- sion but it provides one of the greatest welfare services in Omaha. In order to give the medical student practical e.xperience to supplement and round-out his regular curricular activities, an elaborately equipped clinic is maintained which furnishes med- ical care free to those who are financially un able to pay a licensed doctor ' s fee. Dur- ing the past year 31,333 visits were made to the dispensary. In addition 2,500 home visits were made by students. The entire support of the dispensary is provided by the Creighton University. The Creighton dispensary is a member of the Omaha Council of Social Agencies. It cooperates with the Creighton University Health Service, the Visiting Nurses As- sociation, the Public School Nurses, the Omaha Orthopedic society, the Diocesan Catholic Charities, the Nebraska Tuberculosis association, and other charitable and 1)K.

All clinical work is done under faculty supervision and the students go through the same routine as a general practitioner. Diagnosis of each case and the subsequent treatment is all determined by the student, after which his decisions are checked by a supervisor who points out any possible errors or mis- calculations. Senior students also make calls at the homes of dispensary patients who are unable to come to the clinic. The medicines and prescriptions are com- pounded by the Creighton College of Phar- macy. Two years of general academic work in an approved school is the pre-requisite for entrance to the medical school which offers a four-year course leading to two possible degrees. Doctor of Medicine, and Bachelor of Science in Medicine. An excellent op- portunity for research or specialization is afforded by the graduate courses. Rigid graduation and entrance requirements have put the school in the top flight of similar institutions throughout the nation. It is a member of the .American Association of Medical Colleges being rated as class ' A by the American Medical association. Teaching facilities of the school are the best. It boasts a medical library contain- ing 7,400 volumes, a large part of which is made up of the late Dean Hermann von Schulte ' s collection consisting of about 1,500 volumes. The library at present sub- scribes to and preserves the files of eighty scientific periodicals. To widen the scope of practical experience four hospitals, Creighton Memorial St. Joseph ' s Hospital, St. Catherine ' s Hospital, Mercy Hospital, and St. Bernard ' s Hos- pital, are affiliated with the school as they offer opportunities for observation of par- ticular maladies and diseases to the students. Rev John J. McInekny, S. Regent W. J. Reynolds Tom Barrett Frank Colombo Charles Earl 35 The School 0 Dentistry L Dr. Frank J. Dean ViNER lEADERSHiP in t he profession of dentistry requires an education that will enable the practitioner to keep pace with the ever-changing and ever-improving methods. Keeping this idea always in mind, the faculty of the School of Den- tistry exerts every influence toward prepar- ing the graduate in all phases of dental practice. The degree of doctor of dental surgery is attained after a four-year course, which is preceded by one-year of pre-dental study in a College of Arts and Sciences. All phases of the professional man ' s future re- quirements are adequately cared for, so that the graduate will not only be a finished technician and operator, but a profes- sional gentleman as well. The dental reputation of Creighton ' s School of Dentistry rests to a great extent upon the meticulous care on which foundations for future professional leadership are built. The school maintains complete technical, metallurgical and microscopic labor- atories, together with a large infirmary, surgical operating rooms, and X-Ray labora- tories. From time to time the most modern of laboratory equipment is added so as to keep constantly abreast of the rapid advances in dental research. Clinical facilities are of the finest, and as a result over 4,000 patients are treated annualy. Each senior and junior student is equipped with the latest type of electric operating units and individual cabinets. The large sterilizer, with separate compart- ments for each student ' s instruments, is the latest in this type of equipment. f  t rN M I f, f mi% f f t t ♦ ■K ■ . «t 36 The School of Dentistry Faculty All work done in the clinic is under the constant guidance of faculty supervisors and the group method is stressed. As the patients registered in the clinic are drawn not only from Omaha but from the sur- rounding territory in Nebraska and Iowa as well, the students are afforded a wide variety of practice in all phases of dentist- ry. A special clinic in children ' s dentistry has recently been added to stress this con- stantly advancing branch of dentistry. The personal touch maintained between instructor and student is the keynote of the curriculum. The faculty is known for its attention to the latest developments in the theoretical and operative fields of science, thus passing on to the students benefits ac- cruing from the newest achievements in the profession. By combining every factor in a perfectly equipped school under the direc- tion 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 knowledge and experience to diagnose cases and to apply with certainty the proper treatment. Creighton graduates are eligible, upon completion of the prescribed course, to a commission as First Lieutenant in the Dental Section of the Officers Reserve Corps. By means of a methodical record which is kept of all work done by each individual Student, the faculty supervisor can tell at any time to what extent the student is ca- pable and experienced in each of the phases of the work studied. The record system also teaches the student proper office management and procedure. The reputation of the department is ably upheld by its graduates who are respected as leaders in their profession in national as well as local dental circles. Rev. John J. McInernv. Regent S.J. C. R. Thompson Warren W.allace Harold Vosgerav Richard Sh w 37 The School r Law X_iSTABLiSHED in 1904, the Otij hlun Iniversity School of Law has l)ecome one of the most prominent profes- sional schools on the campus with gradu- ates from the department recognized as leaders in the legal profession throughout the United States. The library has a collection of approx- imately . 6.000 volumes, an increase of 1.000 hooks o er last year. Km[)hasis is di- rectly placed on current and modern books which make accessible the law of today. I he historical aspect, nevertheless, has not been overlooked, for a large part of one tloor in the stack section is devoted to an- cient books and documents which carry the research student back to medieval Kngland — back to the days when the great system of Common Kaw was lirst being implanted. Beginning with the ' earbo()k of 1. 07. in the reign of Kdward II., the books on the law school ' s shelves trace the progress of the Common Law through centuries down to the decisions at current terms of court in English speaking jurisdictions the world over. All the state, federal and United States Supreme Court reports, all the United States and State Statutes as well as an almost complete set of English decisions from the earliest times, and reports of Scottish. Irish and Canadian Courts are available. Among the rare anticjue books in the Creighton Law School collection are a volume of the Institutes of Justinian, printed in 1529; Brooks Abridgment, 1573; and a Reg- istrum Omnium Brevium. 16.H. There are also several early copies of Littleton ' s Tenures, and a large collection of books printed by that famous sixteenth century craftsman, Richard Tottell. I.di IS J, TkFoei. Dean The School of Law Faculty 38 Almost an entire floor is devoted to the lit- erature of the law, comprising the foremost law reviews and treatises. Adjoining the stacks on the main floor is a large, well- lighted reading room, where students may work in comfort. Open shelves in the read- ing room give easy access to digests, ency- clopedias, reporters and current reviews. The Creighton Law School was opened in 1904, and after having been operated in the Edward Creighton Institute, in the center of the business district of Omaha, for 17 years, was moved in 1921 to its pres- ent location on the university campus. The case system, now universally ac- cepted as the most practical method of of- fering law instruction, is used, but the lecture system is occasionally resorted to when the subject concerned does not per- mit of proper treatment by means of cases. Although the school recognizes the fact that its primary purpose is to instruct the student in the theoretical field, still it has not overlooked the practical. The law school ' s system of Moot Courts is unique among the law schools of the country. The class instruction in pleading, trial practice, evidence, criminal procedure, and probate practices is supplemented by required work in the practice courts, which are divided into three sections: one to jurisdiction in chambers; one to the conduct of jury cases, both civil and criminal, and the third to the hearing of cases on appeal. The school is a member of the .Association of .American Law Schools and is on the approved list of the .American Har .Association. It enjoys the highest rating with both organizations and is therefore fully accredited to all Class .A law schools in the United States. It is also one of the few institutions of its kind whose graduates are ad- mitted to practice without examination in several of the states. Rev. Thomas H. Murphy, S. J. Ref:;ent Peter Marchetti Theodore RicHi.ixr. Walter W ' endt 39 The College 0 Pharmacy J_iiK PART that pharmacy has taken in the treatment and prevention of disease and in the preservation and im- provement of the public health is impor- tant and credital)le. One of the outstand- ing social changes which has taken place in the present century is the public ' s attitude to health and physical well-being. People are health conscious and health anxious. Pharmacy has earned recognition as a sep- arate profession through its long service and through its contribution to public health and human welfare. With these thoughts in mind the cur- riculum of the College of Pharmacy has been prepared to give men and women such education in pharmacy as will enable them to meet the present and future demands of their profession in an able an intelligent manner. The courses are arrang ed in a systematic, methodical and progressive order. All courses of the first two years are prescribed because they are basic. The student may elect from several courses offered during the last two years those in w ' hich he wishes to specialize. The faculty is made up of men who are skilled teachers of pharmaceutical subjects. They have had practical experience not only in teaching in schools of pharmacy but also in the work of the retail store, in hospital dispensing, in government service, in research, and in general analytical and control work. The standards of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy are main- tained in all courses. This group is the highest accrediting agency in pharmaceutical Wii I lA.M A. Jakkktt Dean The College of Pharmacy Faculty 40 education. Most states by law or ruling of the state board of pharmacy recognize only those schools which hold membership in this association. Graduates of the Creigh- ton University College of Pharmacy are ad- mitted to state board examinations in those states requiring graduation from a college of pharmacy as pre-requisite to these ex- aminations. Because the College of Pharmacy is an integral part of the university, students in this college may participate in all univer- sity activities, social, athletic, literary, fra- ternal, and educational. The courses of study, aside from those of strictly pharmaceutical character, are coordinated with those of the other depart- ments of the university. This arrangement gives the students in the College of Phar- macy the valuable advantage of the broad- ening influence resulting from close contact with students and teachers of the several schools. The close relationship Nith the School of Medicine is of special benefit in prescription practice. The location of the college affords all students the many advantages to be found in a big city. There are opportunities to work in drug stores or in other establishments for those who find it necessary to earn a part of their expenses. Concerts, lectures, libraries, museums, theatres, and the other educational advantages of a great com- mercial center are available. During the present year a new course in the history of pharmacy has been added to the curriculum. It is a matter of major social importance for the student to know with definiteness just what the pharmacist has done in the past, what he is doing in the present, and what position he may fill in the future. Rev. John J. McInerny, S. J. Regent Howard Jensen Francis Zajic Raymond McCarthey Charles Smith 41 The University College J.HI, ADMIMS ' l KATIVK DUTIKS of the I ' liiversity Collejie are f rouped under the same head and facuUy as the (Graduate School because of the close relationship be- tween the two departments. All courses former!)- taught outside the regular class schedules of the College of Arts and Sci- ences, the College of Commerce, and the School of Journalism have been incorpor- ated into the University College. Through the college, women students are given an opportunity to receive Arts degrees. Even though University College enrolls many women students, it appeals also to business men and women of whom there is a large enrollment in special late afternoon, evening and Saturday courses. Certificates in education are awarded by the University College in addition to the opportunity afforded part-time students to obtain university credits. Courses in edu- cation receive special emphasis in the curriculum of this department, the purpose of which is to give a comprehensive and thorough training to the teachers, professionals, junior-college students, and adults enrolled in the graduate courses. Though this department is one of the largest and most popular in the university. it is also one of the newest. The Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S. J., serves as dean of the college. During a leave of absence which was granted Father Bowdern the first semester to conclude some research work at St. Louis University, the Rev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S. J., dean of the College of .Arts and Sciences, acted as dean of University College. Rk . TlIOM.XS S. HoWDKKN, S. J.

The college was founded in 1881 by Mother Dunne to ex- tend training in character and ideals as well as academic subjects. Duchesne is the only Catholic college in Nebraska offering a four-year course in arts for young women. Three new instructors have been added to the faculty this year and there has been increased activity in athletics. Miss Helen Gruchella, women ' s tennis champion of South Dakota, is teaching riflery, swim- ming, bicycling, and tennis. Miss Helen Proulx is instructor in English and French. Miss Nan Riley, member of the 1935 graduating class, holds a fellowship while teach- ing English literature. Miss Gwen Gorman, supervisor of Catholic Charities in Omaha, is conducting a new course in social service work which permits students to gain prac- tical experience as well as theory in this vocation. Next year under the Carnegie plan for the exchange of foreign students, Duchesne will accept two young women scholarship students from France and Germany, gradu- ates of Sacred Heart colleges abroad. This will permit three Duchesne graduates to apply for similar scholarships to foreign universities. Election to these scholarships is based upon grades, character, and knowledge of the language of the country in which they plan to study. .All expenses, except travelling costs, will be assumed by the Carnegie foundation. Several new student clubs were formed during the past year. Mary Alice Shields President of the Student Body Jeax BiRKE Ei.oisE Creedo.n Svsa.n Campbell Evelyn Borkowski 43 The Graduate School l . STRONG GRADUATE SCHOOL IS the chief academic crown of a modern uni- ersity. From its halls o forth the cul- tured scholars and resourceful thinkers of the nation to fill professional chairs and to lead and direct social and industrial re- searches. Within its walls is gathered up and treasured the priceless gold reserve of human knowledge, which is distributed among picked graduate students interested in particular lines of research and study. The Ciraduate School is so called be- cause its students are already graduates from some other school or college of the university. After they have received their first degree they are eligible for advanced study and research leading to one of the master ' s degrees or the final degree of doctor of philosophy. A graduate council is appointed by the president of the university to take charge of and supervise all work in the (iraduate School. The faculty of the department is made up of professors of all departments of the university, all of whom are specialists in their particular lines of study. The curriculum of the department is so arranged that graduate students can attend Creighlon while engaged in their everyday pro- fessions, by means of the late afternoon, evening and Saturday classes. Many gradu- ate courses are also offered during the Summer Session. The Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S. J., dean of the University College and regent of the School of Journalism, is also dean of the (iraduate School. He is assisted by the Rev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S. J., dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S. J Dean The Graduate School F.xcultv 44 The College 0 Saint Mary JDecause of the ever-increasing demand for higher education in the teach- ing profession, the College of St. Mary was founded in 1923. While it has been pri- marily the purpose of the college to de- velop Catholic women teachers, yet the curriculum is organized to develop women leaders in other fields as well. One of the dominant aims in working out the curri- culum is the correlation of the study of theory with the actual practice in the field of teaching. An affiliation between the College and the Creighton university was brought into effect on May 1, 1929. Although the uni- versity now supervises registrations, directs all academic work, issues credits and certificates, the college still retains its corporate indentity and financial standing and its location at Fifteenth and Castelar streets. Besides its regular curriculum, the College sponsors several student organizations. The Sodality of the Blessed ' irgin Mary promotes devotion to the Mother of God, and offers her as a model and kindly patroness of youth. The Athletic Club, known as the Co-Ath Club, aims to stimulate interest in athletics and to develop good sports- manship and sociability. Playground activities for prospective teachers are especially stressed. The department of music fosters a Glee Club, a sextette, and an orchestra. The aim of the department is to prepare teachers of music in schools and to develop music appreciation. Other student organizations include the French Club and the Dramatic Club.

The funds supplied originally through the bene- factions of Count and Mrs. John A. Creighton were exhausted in the 1908-1910 and 192, building programs, and later con- struction work was financed through mort- gage loans on the hospital property. Ex- penses are met solely through the income derived from paying patients. The School of Nursing, an essential and integral department of the hospital dates back nearly forty years. It was first started in 1897 for the training of Xuns as nurses, and continued as such until 1917. when it was converted into a training school for lay nurses. The training school at St. Joseph ' s is affiliated with Creighton university, college credit being allowed the student nurses who desire to work for a university degree. Completion of the work leads to a degree of Bachelor of Science in Xursing. Such an arrangement makes available to students the combined facilities of both institutions, in addition to providing a solid practical training in nursing. A feature added this year is the dispensary service. The nurses assist daily in ex- aminations and treatments at the Creighton School of Medicine dispensary in down- town Omaha, which gives credit in Social Service work. Creighton Memorial St. Joseph ' s Hospital remains as a permanent monument to the John A. Creighton family. TiiL Saint Jdskimi ' s Ni kskkv Elsie Klintworth .Agnes Weiler Nora Lane 46 Saint Catherine ' s Hospital Xhrough the instrumentality of the late Mrs. Catherine Xash, the old Den- man Kountze home at 811 Forest avenue, surrounded by grounds comprising over two acres of land, was purchased in 1909 by the Right Rev. Bishop Scannell, and the Sisters of Mercy took over the building for hospital purposes. In remembrance of Mrs. Xash, the new hospital was named St. Catherine ' s. At first the institution was devoted solely to the care of women and children, but as the demand for specialization in the maternity hospital grew less, the building was changed to a general hospital. A new addition was built in 1915 at a cost of $60,- 000. This new unit which added more housing room and more modern equipment to the hospital, also brought it into prominence as one of the best equipped medical units in the middlewest. In 1916, one year after the main structure was completed, a new addition was built, known as the Nurses ' Home. In November, 1925, a last wing was constructed, enlarging the hospitalization unit to a capacity of 175 patients, and adding entirely new surgical, obstetrical and X-ray departments. Connected with the hospital is a training school, offering a three-year course in nursing. Affiliation with the Creighton university was brought about by an agreement between Mother M. Leo, director of nurses, and the Rev. William Agnew, S. J., late president of the university. St. Catherine ' s hospital celebrated its 25th anniversary December 10, 1935.

A resume of activities durin the year shows that six new local clubs were orj anized, alumni representation was obtained on the Athletic board, alumnae representatives became members of the general Alumni council, a record-breaking Loy- alty Fund drive was completed and the 1935 Home- coming was the greatest ever held in the history of the university. Besides an auxiliary club formed at Denver, Colo., a new chapter was organized at San Diego, Calif. Four new clubs, the Madison-Platte, the Central Nebraska and the North-Central Nebraska were formed throughout Nebraska. Club activity throughout the country increased. Highlights were the granting of Creighton scholarships to high school students by the Council Bluffs and Chicago clubs, and receptions for prospective students held by several clubs, notably that of the Black Hills. The Omaha club engaged in a membership campaign and responded magnificently to the Loyalty Fund drive and the football season ticket sale. The Alumni Association again assumed sponsorship of the University of the Air, . J. Ski ' tt President Irene Liebert Genevieve Bruggeman Leo McCabe Edith Casey 50 which presents daily educational broadcasts to the people of the middlewest. The feature was transfer- red from station KOIL to WOW at the beginning of the school year. This station is presided over by a Creighton alumnus, John J. Gillin, Jr. Motion picture equipment was purchased by the alumni office, making possible a new and entertaining service to alumni gatherings. The annual Homecoming broke all past records this past year. Three thousand enthusiastic gradu- ates participated in the program. The Homecoming set new attendance records at all events and featured an important innovation — the first national conven- tion of Creighton Alumni representatives. More than 1,100 persons attended the Homecoming dinner-dance held at the Paxton hotel. Through the generosity of Creighton alumni and alumnae, the Loyalty Fund was established. The business men of Omaha also played a vital part in this achievement. Twelve thousand dollars was contributed to the annual fund to assist in the rehabili- tation of athletics and the general development of the university. The primary purpose of the alumni organization is to promote fellowship and co- operation among the alumni of the various departments, to increase the influence of the university and aid in its development. Meetings are held the first Monday of every month. Special meetings may be held on call. Dr. M. J. Healy Vice President Dr. J. W. McXamara John Cash Ed Dvgax Art McCaffrey 51 Frank E. Pelle(;ki. Secretarv Two new officers and twelve new members were elected to the general Alumni Council at the Home- coming festivities. V. J. Skutt, retiring vice-president was elected president. Dr. M. J. Healy, is the new vice-president. P ank E. Pellegrin remains as execu- tive secretary-treasurer of the organization. Representatives and their departments include: Leo McCabe and Art McCaffrey, arts; Gerald Dugan and Bernard Conway, commerce; Dr. B. J. Haller and Dr. Floyd Paynter, dentistry; Harry Welch and Edward Dugan, law; Dr. J. V. IVIcXamara and Ed- ward S. Maloney, medicine; John Cash and Ike Levy, pharmacy; Edith Casey. St. Catherine ' s hospital; Irene Doll Liebert and Genevieve Bruggeman, St. Joseph ' s hospital, and He len Clare Olson and Imelda Xolan, St. Mary ' s college. All graduates and former students whose classes have graduated are considered members in good standing of the Alumni association and no dues are charged for membership. The Creighton Alumnus, official magazine of the association is sent free during ten months of the year to an alumni list of over six thousand scattered through- out the United States and many foreign countries. An alumni office is maintained in the Law building where a competent staff of workers are ever on the alert to serve members of the association in locating former classmates and performing whatever other services are requested. -A complete file, divided alphabeticaly, geographicaly and by classes is kept up to date in the Alumni office and is at the disposal of any member of the Alumni association who wishes to use it in locating former classmates or stimulating alumni activity in his community. Dr. Floyd Paynter Dr. E. S. Maloney ' Helen C. Olsex Ike Levy 52 The Publicity Department B, Frank E. Pelllgrix Director ' ELiKViNG that many who are not directly connected with Creighton are nevertheless interested in the progress of the university, the Creighton University Publicity department strives to keep the public informed as to what the university is accomplishing along educational, cul- tural, religious, civic and athletic lines. The department is ever on the alert not only to serve the university as a whole but to forward interests of each school and col- lege in the minds of the general public and of prospective students. It tries at all times to maintain a constructive public relations policy. A new system in the annual student enrollment campaign was instituted by the department last summer. Instead of the former method of merely mailing promotional literature, four members of the regular university faculty were sent out during the summer months to render service to prospective students who had indicated their interest in Creighton after receiving literature. This new method, proving to be the most productive of any attempted so far, brought the largest enrollment in the history of the university. A Speaker ' s Bureau was established last year by the publicity department for the purpose of addressing audiences throughout Omaha and the middlewest on a wide variety of educational subjects. This year, new speakers were added to enlarge the scope of the topics presented. A prospectus of the speakers and the titles of their speeches was again distributed this year. To keep Creighton constantly before the public, the News Bureau regularly serves nearly two thousand newspapers scattered thoughout the country with particular at- tention paid to publications in the middlewest. A syndicated health column. Keeping Fit For Success by Dr. Victor E. Levine, is sent to weekly papers throughout Ne- braska. Achievements and honors gained by out-of-town students are written up and sent to their home town papers. In addition, the department serves sixty-nine Catholic newspapers; the NCWC, official Catholic Press service, and all local and suburban papers. Every day 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 director is the assistant director of the University of the Air and the department aids in sponsoring this activity by printing and distributing the programs. Football programs are also written and edited by the publicity department, and com- plete files are maintained which contain biographical data about the students, faculty and alumni of the university. 54 t II The Students Union L. J . Rhvnoi DS X ouN ' DED in 1922 as an orfijanization to promote student activity and student welfare, the Creighton Students Union is today one of the most active and influential groups on the campus with every male student in the university, as an active member. Presiding over the organization, which includes every male student, in the university, are a faculty moderator, a Union manager, and a Union Board of Governors. The new faculty moderator this year is Rev. H. J. Quinn, S. J., who succeeds Rev. W. J. Cor- boy. S. J. The members of the Board of Govei ' nors are elected by the student body for a two-year term, two members being elected to represent each of the seven major units of the university. Because they serve for two years, the representatives are not only figuratively representative of the students, but they also take an active part in con- trolling student activities. Those on the board are: James Cunningham, president, Paul Ernst, secretary, Emil Kngelbretson. Robert Zuercher, Patrick Corrigan, Joseph T. Slattery, Charles Condon, Walter J. Rotter, William Coulthard, John W. Blough, Aldo A. Dona, Robert K. Adams, Waldo Lee Hancock. Don Weir, George J. Rossie, Stanley Smazal, Howard Jensen, and Francis Zajic. The mem- bers of the Board meet regularly every two weeks, unless important matters necessitate the calling of special meet- ings, when they discuss the matters of interest to the student body and take definite action. The Union maintains clubrooms for the convenience of the students, located on the first floor of the gym- nasium. Here students may spend their spare time playing billiards, Top: Patrick Corrigan, Robert Thompson. Bottom: Robert Zuercher, Francis Zajic, Stanley Smazal, George Rossi. 56 Rev. B. J. QuiNN, S. J. Moderator cards, or ping pong. Reading rooms are open to the student from 11 o ' clock in the morning until 9 o ' - clock in the evening. A radio and phonograph are also at their disposal. Reasonably priced lunches, ice cream, and candy are sold at the clubroom store. The purpose of having the clubrooms is mainly to provide a general meeting place for the students and clubs. Tournaments for pool, bridge, and ping pong are sponsored annually by the organization in the Union clubrooms, under the direction of the manager. The tournaments draw students from all colleges and schools of the university. An employment bureau is offered by the Union to arrange for full or part-time employment for students. To encourage cooperation in the search for part-time work for students, a canvass of business houses is made at least once annually through which effective connections are established. The mainte- nance of a systematic file system which is revised yearly is an aid to the bureau in providing work. Besides the employment service, a rooming house service has been established to assure the students of a suitable room at a reasonable price. A new list of rooming places is compiled each year, and is presented to the student on request. Complete inspections of the rooming places are made by Union officials each year. The Creighton Handbook and Stu- dent Directory are two of the univer- sity publications which are under the direction of the Students Union. The Handbook is a publication which en- ables new students to become ac- quainted with the facilities of the school, and the Directory contains a list of the names and addresses of all faculty members and students enrolled in the major units of the university and its affiliated departments. It also Top: John Blough, Paul Ernst. Bottom: Howard Jen. ' ien, Robert Adams, Don Weir. Walter Rotter. 57 James Cunningham President contains a list of the administrative oftuials of the university, the various (le|)artinents and their offi- cials, and members of the special boards and coun- cils affiliated with university. An outstandinji function of the Union Hoard of (Governors is the sponsoring of the annual Junior- Senior Prom, one of the important social functions of the school year. The Kin j and Queen of the uni- versity are presented to the student body at the prom in an impressive ceremony participated in by the Hoard of Governors. The Board selects the royal couple whose identity is kept secret until the nijiht of the prom. -Another distinct division of the Students I ' nion is the student pep organization which is directed and sponsored by the Union and headed by the Pep Marshal, Richard Carey. The organization was formed as a result of an investigation conducted by the Union among the leading universities of the coun- try for the purpose of forming a student group to strengthen the school spirit at Creighton. After its first year in 1 22, the group was awarded a charter making it a permanent campus organization. A special committee has been formed to help new students with problems that come up during the first few days following registration in the fall, and to help ac- quaint the students with the many details that confront an undergraduate entering the university for the first time. The Students ' Union operates as a non-profit sharing corporation under N ' ebraska law, with the agreement that an annual report must be made to the Secretary of the State. .A full time manager is employed and is held under a $5,000 surety bond. A part-time advertising manager for publica- tions rests under a .SI. 000 bond. Leo J. Reynolds is at pres- ent Student Union manager. For the past fourteen years the government of the student body and the direction of student activities has been in the hands of the Creighton Students Union. It seeks to mould the male students more closely to the Creighton ideals and traditions and to unite the student bodv. Emil Engelbretson, Joseph T.

Although handicapped by injuries and lack of material, Creighton made impressive showings against Rice Insti- tution and Marquette, strong national ranking teams. Members of the Rice squad praised the small band of Blue- jay warriors that traveled to Houston and battled the powerful Rice club to a standstill. The injury jinx still marked the Creighton players and struck a hard blow during the summer months when Vincent Anderson, 1935 captain, suffered a broken ankle. During Anderson ' s absence Patrick Holland and Joe McKenna acted as alternate captains. Holland lead the Jays in most of their games but he hurt his shoulder and was forced to the sidelines for a couple of games. Rules of eligibility kept Al Kubes, powerful tackle, from two important Valley games. Creighton played strong ball until after the Rice till. This battle seemed to take away the strength of the players and the team went into a slump after the southern trip. Ed Brick, Pat Holland, Joe Sheppard and Paul Schmidt are the only members to be lost by graduation. However, Coach Schwartz did a great job of building for the future. He will have practically his whole 1935 squad back for the next season including line coach John Polisky ' s stalwart forwards who showed to good advantage against every Creighton opponent. ST. LOUIS The athletic new deal showed results from the start. Opening the 1935 season with St. Louis university at the Hilltop, a fighting flock of Bluejays downed the Missou rians convincingly 13 to before 8,000 fans. Six of the boys in the starting lineup were sophomores, but they conducted themselves like tried veterans. It was obvious from the starting whistle that the Blues were intent on winning this initial game. Charley Klem, a sophomore from Kenosha, threw a long pass on the first play to little Francis Wilcox who was down within a few yards of the Billi- ken goal. St. Louis held and punted out, but this only prolonged the inevitable. A few minutes later Klem again passed; this time to sophomore end Fritz Borak who made a great over the shoulder catch just across the goal. Inflamed at the Bluejay ' s 6 to lead, the visitors brought their vaunted running attack into play, but the sophomore studded Creighton line was too tough. 109 Taking advantage of a break and capitalizing on their aerial game, the Bluejays pushed across another score. Sophomore Matt Bokmueller converted and made the scoreboard read Creighton 13; St. Louis 0. So ended the first game under Marchie Schwartz. Outstanding was the work of the Creighton line consisting of veterans Pat Holland, Al Kubes, Joe McKenna and newcomers Fritz Borak, Matt Bokmueller, Dick Vana and Paul Hartnek. Klem and Wilcox starred in the backfield. OKLAHOMA A. M. Likewise in the Missouri Valley conference precincts, the Schwartzmen labeled themselves as dangerous by trimming Oklahoma A. M. 16 to 0. Statistics show that the Cowboys from Still- water totaled an 11 yard loss from scrimmage. After a scoreless first half the Bluejays played smart football to tally nine points in the third quarter. George Busch ran back the second half kickoff 70 yards to the Aggie 30-yard line before he was stopped. However, the Creighton offense bogged down and the visitors took possession of the ball. Here Bokmueller broke through to block a punt sending the bounding ball into the end zone where Wright, Aggie halfback, recovered for a safety. A few minutes later Creighton scored a touchdown when Wil- cox plunged over after a ground and aerial attack had carried the ball to the two yard line. Bok- mueller added the extra point. Hartnek, Guard Anderson, Quarterback ViNCIQUERRA, Fullbuck fmrnmuit , i vpnv te. x t j '   ' Jt)tr In the fourth quarter a new ball-carrying sensation was uncovered in Don Mclver. This tall blond halfback averaged better than five yards a try as he ran rampant scoring the last Bluejay touchdown on a run around his own left side. Again Bokmueller kicked the point making the score read 16 to 0. As in the initial game, the work of the Bluejay line was almost faultless opening gaping holes for the backfielders and stopping every Cowboy scoring threat. Besides, Mclver, notable Bluejays were Carl Vinciquerra and Dick Vana, both sophomores. RICE INSTITUTE Birds go south in the fall, so the following week the Bluejays journeyed to Houston, Texas, to engage the mighty Rice Owls. Coach Jimmy Kitts had another great aggregation with numerous hold-overs from the great Owl team of 1934 which experts ranked fifth best in the nation. Nevertheless, Mentor Schwartz and his fighting Hilltoppers would concede the southerners nothing and gained a great moral victory holding Rice and the excessive heat to a 14 to score. So intense was the heat in the southern city that the Omahans lost a total of 189 pounds on the playing field. Rice scored first when an intercepted Creighton pass set the pins for a touchdown. Buck Friedman and big John McCauley alternated at carrying the ball down to the 15-yard stripe where McCauley broke through guard to race for the score. Sylvester, great southern end, kicked the point. For the rest of the half the chagrined Blues battled their larger opponents to a standstill. KuBES, Tackle Schmidt, Quarterback FiSHLER, Quarterback iiig DRAKE It was a tired group of Hilltoppers that returned home to meet the Drake Bulldog on Homecoming day before 12,000 fans. But, My Ubl, football ' s Dizzy Dean, and Chuck Orebaugh, a speedy red- headed halfback, collaborated to make the afternoon uncomfortable for the Hilltoppers. Creighton scored first. In the third quarter, Floyd Nelson intercepted a pass on his own 30. Run- ning a few yards to his right. Nelson lateraled to Fritz Borak just as Drake tacklers closed in on him. Borak continued on down the sidelines for a touchdown aided by neat blocking on the part of his mates. Again in the third period the Owls scored. This time a long pass, Ray Smith to Sylvester placed the ball in scoring territory. Neece, on an end run went to Creighton ' s one-yard line and from there Smith smashed the line to score. Sylvester ' s toe accounted for the fourteenth point. For the remainder of the game the Schwartzmen rapped on the door to a touchdown but twice were halted only a few yards from the final stripe. Once in the third quarter the Omahans lost the ball on the Rice nine-yard line after missing signals on an end-around play. However, the Schwartzmen were commended on their hard play despite the heat. John McCauley, 210 pound all-America quarterback for Rice, complimented the Blues declaring their tackling the hard- est he had met on the gridiron. 1 ZuERCHER. Halfback Brick, End WiLcox, Halfback The Drake counter came later in the same period when Orebaugh took Ubl ' s pass over his shoulder and raced across to tie the score 6 to 6. Victory for either team was thwarted when the placekicks of Bokmueller and Ubl were blocked. For the remainder of the tilt the Bluejays kept the stands in an up- roar with long drives down the field featuring the running of Vinciquerra. However, fumbles kept the Schwartzmen from tallying. In the last quarter Drake threatened when they recovered a Blue fumble on the latter ' s 16-yard line, but the Creighton line held twice and two Ubl passes were batted down. On the ground Creighton out-gained the Bulldogs considerably, and it was only the accurate pas- sing and long-distance punting of My Ubl that held the Bluejays up. GRINNELL x nother great chapter was written in the Grinnell-Creighton grid history when the Hilltop eleven counted a touchdown in the last two minutes of play to eke out a 7 to 6 win over the Pioneers. It was Francis Fishier who made the tying points and it took the educated toe of Matt Bokmueller to win the game. Up to this time the Pioneers had the game well in hand but fell before the last min- ute rally of the charging Jays. Marchie Schwartz ' boys started the rally from their 19-yard line. After Bob Zuercher, Carl Vinci- querra and Wilcox had pushed down the field toward the Grinnell goal, the Pioneers held for downs. Wilcox contributed the longest run of the drive when he swept through tackle and ran 64 yards before he was tackled from behind by Sampson, Grinnell halfback.

After taking the ball on its nine-yard line Grinnell elected to run with the ball and on the second try Jim Bradley fumbled and Joe McKenna, Jay game captain, recovered on the lowan ' s 19. Then came the winning score. Zuercher and V ' inciquerra collaborated to carry the ball to the Pioneer 10. On the next play Zuercher took a direct pass from center and dashed to his right and shot a pass to Fishier. The latter took the pass and stepped across the line unmolested. Matt Bokmueller, who had been injured earlier in the game, left the bench and made the conversion. Grinnell scored early in the second. Snow set the pins for the touchdown when he intercepted a pass and ran it back to the Creighton 34. A pass from McCleod to Bauer was good to the Omahan ' s eight. The quarter ended with this play but on the tirst play of the second stanza Lynn Schlotterbeck took a lateral from Bauer and scored around his own right end. Schlotterbeck failed on the extra point. WASHINGTON After defeating Grinnell at Grinnell, Creighton went to St. Louis the following week and fell into the hands of the Washington Bears. The Bruins played great ball against the Bluejays and won the contest by the surprising score of 53 to 7. This marked the first time since 1930 that Washington had been able to win over Creighton. With but one victory in the first five games, th Bears unleashed a powerful running and passing attack to wallop the Jays. Joe Bukant was on the throwing end of several tosses that went for touch- downs. Klem. Halfback Enoelbretson, End Daucherty, Tackle At When Bukant wasn ' t tossing the ball, Mike Zboyovski, Bob Hudgens, and Dwight Hafeli were tearing through the Creighton line for substantial gains. The Creighton forward wall just couldn ' t hold back the hard charging Washington backs. Creighton had little success with the Washington wall and found very few holes throughout the afternoon ' s play. When the line plays failed Creighton took to the air but found that Washington had a defense that was somewhat too strong for the aerial game. The Bears intercepted more passes than the Jays completed. Creighton ' s lone tally came in the fourth quarter when Larry Goeckle climaxed a series of short passes by catching a pass from George Busch in the end zone. Duke Navoichick added the extra point. The defeat was the first for Creighton in the Missouri Valley conference and it dropped the Hill- toppers from the race and established Washington as the favorite. SOUTH DAKOTA UNIVERSTY Battered and injured from the Washington game the Creighton Bluejays went down to defeat be- fore South Dakota university at Sioux Falls by the narrow margin of 7 to 6 which decided the odd game of a series of 16 battles. Creighton scored early in the first quarter. Acting Captain Joe McKenna blocked Cletus Clinker ' s punt on the Coyote 15. Then little Francis Wilcox squirmed through center to South Dakota ' s two- yard stripe. Bob Zuercher failed once and then George Busch picked up a yard. On the next play Wilcox went over. PiRRUCCELLO, Guard Wixsiiir, Quarterback Pederson. Center M ' iWS The Bluejays out-yarded, out-downed and out-passed the Coyote pack but fumbled at the wrong time. The Jays marched down the field time after time but were always stopped short of a touchdown. Fred Ray, sophomore fullback, was the whole show for the home team as he accounted for all the points. After South Dakota had taken possession of the ball on downs on its own 17-yard line Ray went throuf, ' h center and tore down the field for an 83-yard run and a touchdown. Ray then kicked the extra point that meant victory for South Dakota. All the scoring happened in the first quarter but the Jays knocked often at the goal line of the Coyotes. In the third quarter Creighton scored a touchdown but the play was called back when the officials ruled that Hrick, after taking a pass from Zuercher and then in turn lateraled to Wilcox, tossed the ball forward in completing the touchdown play. A! Kubes and Joe McKenna played a strong game in the line for Creighton with Wilcox sparkling in the backfield. WASHBURN Creighton took its second Missouri Valley conference defeat from the hands of Washburn by the score of 20 to 3 before 5,000 fans who turned out to watch the Jays in their last home game. Lloyd Schwartz, Washburn halfback, kept the Ichabods in the game with his punting. His long punts and off-tackle thrusts enabled the Kansas school to win its first Valley game in the Missouri Valley since joining the conference last spring. Trisii. End Navoichick, Fullback BuscH, Fullback Early in the second period Creighton took a 3 to lead over the invading club. After carrying the ball to the four-yard line, the Blues failed in three attempts at the line and on the fourth down Matt Bokmueller hobbled onto the field and booted a perfect place-kick from the 14-yard line. From this point on the Ichabods took charge of the play and opened up with a passing attack that scored a touchdown with just a few minutes remaining in the first half. With the score 7 to 3 against them, the Jays opened the second half with a rush and carried the ball down to the Ichabods eight yard line where Fishier fumbled and Washburn recovered. Then Washburn started out. Bobby Lee lateraled to Vigola and it was good to Creighton ' s 37. A pass to Stalker and a line smash by East was good for another first down. Interference gave the ball to Washburn on the 18 and finally after a series of plays Vigola smashed over from the six-inch line. Washburn scored its last touchdown when Art McKenna blocked a punt by Wilcox after Schwartz had kicked a 50-yard punt that went out of bounds on the Creighton six-yard line. Stalker fell on the ball for the final score. MARQUETTE Creighton closed its 1935 grid season against Marquette at Milwaukee and fell before the mighty Golden Avalanche team by the score of 26 to 0, in the twenty-first meeting of the two schools. GoECKEF,, Halfback McKenna, Tackle Sheppard, End hJL n T A l Jt %m Defeated only once during the year Marquette found the Jays tough in the first quarter and were unable to score for the first 15 minutes. Coach Schwartz was out after points and gave the Blues a new spread formation just before game time and this offensive formation caught Marquette off guard and it wasn ' t until the second half that Coach Murray solved a defense that stopped Creighton passes. Always considered as a jinx to Marquette, Creighton held back the strong Murray machine until the first minutes of play in the second period. Here the Jays started to tire and Marquette left the field at half time with a 13 point lead over Creighton. There was no way of stopping Buivid from passing and the running of Art Guepe was far too good for the Creighton wall. The Golden Avalanche eleven scored in the third quarter on line smashe s by Art Guepe and Buivid. Ray Buivid scored the last tally with a 20-yard sprint around the left side of the Creighton line. Creighton drove deep into Marquette ' s ground but couldn ' t score. Sixty passes were thrown during the game. The game was a costly affair for Matt Bokmueller. He suffered a broken cheek bone during the first few minutes of play. It was the last game for Pat Holland, Paul Schmidt, Joe Sheppard and Ed Brick. Reif, Guard Vana, Guard .Jtm09k %.M t ' , 11 ilJ h The 1935-36 Basketball Season X HOUGH they finished the season in a three-way tie for the Missouri Valley championship, the Creighton Bluejays, serving their first year under Coach Eddie Hickey, proved to be the class of the conference and drew admiration from followers as the best balanced team in Hilltop basket- ball history. A lucky last-second shot by one of Washburn ' s forwards beat the Blue- jays by one point in the last game of the season and knocked them from un- disputed possession of the Valley championship. Winning 13 games and losing six the Bluejays shared conference honors with Drake and the Okla- homa Aggies. History repeated itself as Washburn defeated the Jays 33 to 32. This was the same score as last year when the Ichabods dropped the Creighton club into a tie with Drake for the honors of the conference. Bus Monteen, sophomore, started the season at center, but was benched in favor of George Busch, all- Valley guard. Veterans Douglas Trish and Don Mclver played regular at the barricading positions. Emil Engelbretson, captain, and Jack Lomax, both seniors, took care of the forward positions and played outstanding ball for Creighton. Engelbretson was the only Creighton player to get all-Valley honors. Don Mclver was placed on the second team and all Creighton men received votes in the balloting. Like last year, Engelbretson was the leading scorer in the Valley and was unanimously selected for the conference team. His pet shot, the pivot shot, made him a threat in every game. A bright spot on the 1935-36 record was the 31 to 29 victory over Kentucky, a team that had not been defeated in 40 games on its home floor. Engelbretson Captain — Fpricard h Tf [p--— ' Creighton opened the cage season at Vermillion, S. D., December 13, battling the University of South Dakota. The game ended 44 to 37 with the Bluejays on the long end of the score. Jack Lomax made Eddie Hickey ' s debut as Creighton basketball coach successful by rolling up 15 points for high honors. Bus Monteen, sophomore center, played the best floor game for the Jays, but Lomax stole the show with his basket making. Red Trish and George Busch, crack barricaders, turned in nifty performances, as did Emil Engel- bretson. Jay captain. XXX Brigham Young came to Omaha December 19 just before Christmas va- cation and showed 1,500 fans the way basketball is played in the Rocky Moun- tain conference. Coach G. Ott Rommney ' s five left town with a 43 to 36 victory. The Utah quintet was never headed. Ralph Crowton, star forward, played an outstanding game for the invaders and made seven goals. Jack Lomax was again the offensive threat for Creighton. The veteran forward hung up seven fielders for a total of 14 points. In the last few minutes Coach Hickey sent in Charley Klem, sopho- more, and the youngster came through with three baskets. The invaders were too tall for the Hilltoppers and Crowton was a thorn in the sides of the local boys. His one-handed shots were very effective. Brigham Young led at half 20 to 17. XXX Vanderbilt was the next foe for Creighton on January 3 and 4 and the southerners were no match for the Bluejays. Coach Eddie Hickey ' s lads won both games by the scores of 40 to 34 and 46 to 30. Lomax Forward Ot ' iiihton saw a 22 to 12 lead a half time cut down as ' andy came hack with a rush in the second half making three baskets while holding Creif;;hton scoreless. At this point Oeighton put on the heat and with just a few minutes left to play the score was . 8 to 32. Mclver, Trish and Engelbretson played the best for the Hilltoppers. Huggins and Plasman shared honors for Vanderbilt. In the second game Jack Lomax and George Husch got together and scored 11 points each to lead the Jays. This game was rough and the officials had a very busy evening calling 29 fouls. Hickey had only nine men suited up for the fray as a result of the suspension of the Kenosha boys for failing to show up for practice during Christmas vacation. Jim- my Huggins. speetly ' andy forward, suffered a pulled tendon and was carried from the floor shortly before the first half ended. XXX .• fter a successful home-stay Coach Hickey took his cagers south to meet Okla- homa . M and Tulsa. The Jays defeated Tulsa 32 to 31 on January 10 but lost to Oklahoma 52 to 22 the following night. These were the first Valley conference games of the season for Creighton. At Tulsa, Whitey Mclver won the game in the last few minutes of play when he scored a goal from far out on the court. Tulsa led at the half time 18 to 11 and then as the second half began to wear away, the Hurricane ran the count to 27 to 16. However, the game roughened up as the liluejays commenced to break through the Oilers defense. With but a minute left to play. Tulsa looked too good to be headed but a close-in shot by Jack Lomax gave the Hilltop five inspiration. Mclver siink his basket as the referee stood poised with the sun in his hand. nz ' The Oklahoma Cowboys smothered Creighton and handed the Jays their first con- ference defeat. The Cowboys revolving offense had Creighton worried for the first half. Led by Captain Engelbretson and George Busch, Creighton played a 12-12 tie at intermission. The Jays held a 9-3 lead shortly after the start of the game but Carry Smelser dropped in three baskets to even the count at half time. XXX On January 13 the Bluejays met the traveling Washington university team on the Hilltop court and knocked them from co-leader position of the conference by a score of 44 to 18. Presenting an air-tight defense the Jays handled the visitors at will with Engelbretson the leading scorer with 1 1 points. Before a small crowd of 1,500 the Bluejays, led by their two guards, Trish and Mclver displayed almost faultless ball and had the Bears at the short end of a 17 to 6 count at the half. Roy Martintoni, leading scorer of the league last season was held to two points during the evening. XXX Grinnell was the next foe for the Bluejays and the home club smothered the in- vaders 53 to 27, January 18. Coach Hickey used every man available in the game. Red Trish started the scoring with a long shot. The Pioneers came back to score four points to take the lead but Engelbretson tied the score. The half ended with Creighton out in front 21 to 14. The last half was fast with Jack Lomax, George Busch and Emil Engelbretson pouring in most of the points. XXX Hank Iba and his Cowboys from Stillwater found the Creighton basketeers a tough customer on the home floor January 25 and fell before the score of 48 to 29. M( I KK — iiiiiird r X i- ' rft t— ( ] e Hanley — Forward Wilcox — Forward Captain Hox Engelbretson was high man of the evening with 16 points. The Jays had a tight defense and the Cowboys tallied only six points in the first half. XXX A conference tie for first place between the Hickeymen and the Drake cagers was broken when the Hilltoppers took the measure of the Bulldogs on the Hilltop court before a large crowd. January 28. Drake and Creighton tilts are always thrilling examples of fast basketball and this game did not disappoint. The Bluejays started off with a bang led by the lightning- like Jack Lomax who couldn ' t seem to miss on his favorite shots from far out on the lloor. Six times during the first half and once during the second did the sharp-shooting forward disturb the meshes with his long beautiful arch shots. Hilly McCloud and Red Orebaugh, a pair of classy Drake performers, were the whole show for the visitors. McCloud, a forward,, was a constant under basket threat while Orebaugh played an excellent game at barricader. XXX After roundly trimming both Grinnell and Drake on their home court, the Blues took a journey into Iowa to return their Tall Corn foes ' visit. First was Grinnell February 7. The Pioneers, playing on their own small floor proved much tougher than at Omaha and they left the floor at the half holding a 19 to 15 advantage. However, in the second period the Blues rallied and with blond Box Engelbretson tossing in six fielders they edged out the Pioneers 40 to 35. XXX The following night the Drake Bulldogs gained plenty of revenge for their ignoni- mous defeat at the hands of the Hickeymen in Omaha. First the Des Moines crew held Box Engelbretson to a lone fielder, and secondly garnered themselves 45 points while the Blues could only collect 40. ' ■: .- w Wayne Xanders and Red Orebaugh, Drake guards, went out on personals late in the fray but not until they had completed their task of shackling Engelbretson. While they were thus dealing with the Hilltop leader, Jack Parisho, thick-shouldered Bull- dog forward, was leading the basket parade tallying five goals for honors before the evening was over. John Hanley, Bluejay substitute forward, was tops for the Omahans with four baskets and two free tosses. XXX Last year the Washburn five caused Creighton to gain no more than a tie for the conference title when an undisputed claim was in the offing, and they trimmed the Hilltoppers on their own floor February 12 in contradiction to all predictions of bas- ketball crystal gazers. Using amazing one-hand shots the Washburn crew rolled up 39 points while the Hickeymen. obviously dismayed, tallied 35. Nevertheless, Emil Engelbretson was the game hero putting in four baskets and nine free throws for 17 points. XXX The Tulsa contest, played in Omaha February 15, was just as odd as the Wash- burn game, with Creighton winning the game easily, 37 to 12. For the first time during his college career Box Engelbretson failed to score a point either from the floor or charity line. The Bluejay star sustained a pair of badly sprained ankles from the Washburn game and his play was limited to hobbling up and down the floor and feeding the ball to his mates. However, George Busch and Whitey Mclver took over the basket manufacturing duties for the Blues making 12 and 10 points respectively. While the rest of Omaha struggled with deep snow and arctic temperatures, the Hickeymen packed their bags and set off for the Bluegrass state via St. Louis for a trio of games. BoRAK — Forward ' f Reynolds — Forward I ' irst stop was at St. I.ouis February 19 where the Hilltoppers halted long enough to trounce the Washinj ton university Bears 62 to 42. Clicking like a well oiled machine the Oniahans couldn ' t be stopped and darted through the befuddled Wash- ington defense for basket after basket. The other two tilts were in Lexington, Kentucky with the University of Kentucky five on February 21 and 22. The first game was another high-scoring fray, the Ken- tuckians doing most of the scoring and ending up on the happy side of a 63 to 38 count. The Hluejays, wear - from travel and their heavy scoring on the previous night, couldn ' t keep up with the fast traveling Kentucky Cats and became victim number 39 of a brilliant three year home victory record. However, the following evening it was a different tale. Functioning smoothly, the Hilltoppers from Omaha turned back the Cats 31 to 29, breaking one of the country ' s most brilliant winning records. Kentucky took the lead in the opening moments, but after Whitey Mclver tallied for the Hickeyman the latter quint made bucket after bucket holding an 18 to 16 lead at half time. The second half was a nip-and-tuck affair. Emil Engelbretson and sophomore Bus Monteen did n.ost of the goaling while Hagan was the big gun for the Cats. The Blues managed to keep a lead of a point or two over their rivals till the final gun. XXX Creighton ' s perennial rival, Marquette university of Milwaukee, came to Omaha February 29 to furnish the Bluejays their final home opposition for the season. The game started cautiously but was blasted wide open when George Busch, back at his old guard post, charged through for a quartet of baskets. Box Engelbretson mr % .•• ' « and Jack Lomax took up where Busch left off and at the half the score was 20 to 14 in favor of the Blues despite the efforts of forward Vytiska of Marquette. Vytiska made three fielders during that half from out on the floor. In the second half Creighton ' s Bus Monteen and Marquette ' s Eirich put on a personal scoring duel. Late in the fray Busch and Whitey Mclver shot the Blues safely ahead with baskets. Eirich captured scoring honors with 14 points. His two assistants, Vytiska and Captain Cy Rubado played nice ball for the visitors. All the Bluejays looked good in trimming their Wisconsin rivals. This was the last home game for Creighton ' s Lomax, Engelbretson and Ed Brick. XXX It took just the last three minutes of the final game with Washburn on March 4 for the Creighton Bluejays to lose an undisputed claim to the Missouri Valley cham- pionship and get no more than a tie. Down at Topeka, Washburn ' s mighty mite, Johnny Fee, tossed in three baskets in as many minutes giving the Ichabods a 32 to 31 victory. This marked the second year that Washburn blasted the Bluejay ' s title hopes with a one point victory. During the first half the Ichs constantly grabbed the ball off the backboard for set ups. Likewise, the Blues fast breaking offense was not functioning properly. . li in all, the Washburn quintet left the floor at half time with a 16 to 11 lead. Coming out for the last half the Omahans displayed more life and managed to knot the score at 19 all. From here on to the last minutes it was clear sailing and the Hick- eymen grabbed themselves a substantial looking 31 to 26 lead. It was here that Mr. Fee took a hand. Red Trish and Box Engelbretson were the standouts for Creighton with ten and nine points respectively while Fee was outstanding for the hosts. Nelson — Center BOKMULLLLR — Guurd Freshman Basketball T„ Roman C. Ron Captain r 1 V H Xhe freshman basketball team, under -jy 4 v l ' ' ' ' tutelage of Coach J. V. Belford. continued the undefeated record set up by the 1934-35 frosh squad when they won six consecutive contests by comfortable margins. In the two years, Duce ' s quin- tets have emerged victorious in eleven straight games. One of the fastest, best passing, cleverest, yet smallest, teams to matriculate on the Hilltop stamped itself as one of the highest scoring aggregations in the history of Bluejay basketball. Belford ' s diminutive whirlwinds totaled 325 points in six games for an average of 54 plus per game. They allowed the sextet of losers only 138 counters, or an average of 23. The American Business College was the first victim by the score of 67 to 21. Never were the Creightonites in danger due to the expert shooting of Captain Roman Roh, center, Billy Ziesel and Dick Shaw, forwards, and Sammy Beem and Roy Engelbret- son, guards. These five players formed the nucleus of the undefeated squad. Fort Crook ' s Headquarter ' s Company was chopped down by a decisive 75 to 24 score. The third hurdle was Boyles College. Boyles could muster only 18 points in comparison with the Jays ' 3Q. The strong Doss team met with the same fate as its three predecessors. The final score was 43 to 9. Belford took his charges to Sioux City, la., for the fifth game with Trinity College. The Iowa quintet proved to be the most stubborn competition en- countered all year by the Omahans. After a hard struggle the latter won, 47 to 36. The sixth and last victory came by a 54 to 30 marg in over the Thallas Hatters. All home games were played as preliminaries to the varsity games. The team is one of the smallest to ever play frosh ball at Creighton. Freshman Basketball Squad u« Intramural Basketball J. ' .

Belford, director of intramural ath- letics. Bel ford, who was assisted by Bob Zuercher, Paul Ernst and Xick Popa. stated at the completion of the three schedules that the basketball card enjoyed more success than any other activity sponsored by the intramural department. Each team, entered in any of the three divisions, was scheduled to play each of the other entrants once. When the schedule was com- pleted, over 110 games were billed. The Club league had the biggest entry with twelve. The P ' raternity loop drew ten and the Class four. Representatives of Dowling Hall, Press Club, Kansas Club, Golden ' s All-Stars, Jay Hawks, Wareham Hall. Wisconsin Club, Pharmacists, Frosh Gridders, Carroll Club, Warriors and Budding Barristers filed entry blanks with Belford in the biggest group. Phi Epsilon, Pi Lambda Phi. Phi Chi, Delta Theta Phi, Delta Sigma Pi, Alpha Chi Kappa, Gamma Eta Gamma, Phi Beta Pi, Phi Rho Sigma and Phi Beta Epsilon entered the big Fraternity conference. The Class league had the Law Frosh, Pharmacy Sophomores, Pharmacy Juniors and Senior Medics as its entries. All of the three championships were hotly contested. The Kansas Club started off by winning five straight games and looked like a sure winner but was knocked from the running by the fast Press Club and the classy Dowling machines. Golden ' s All- Stars and the ever-tough Jay Hawks were always considered as menaces to the leaders. In the Fraternity loop, the Phi Epsilon, Pi Lambda Phi and Phi Chi contingents dominated.

Six leaders in the three divisions were selected by Duce Belford to meet in a tournament in order to decide the school c hampions. Three were taken from the Club circuit, two from the Fraternity and one from the Class. The opening round found the Law F rosh drawing a bye in the upper bracket and the Kansas Club the same in the lower. The Press Club drew Pi Lambda Phi as its initial foe in the top bracket and the Bowling Hall five found the Phi Chis their first opponents in the other. In the first game of the tournament of leaders, the Press Club squeezed out a meager 19 to 14 victory in a hotly contested grudge match. The Phi Chi ' s could not solve the maneuvering of the Uowling laddies and lost 18 to 8 in the other scheduled playoff mix. Back Roii ' : Dvv cr. Rombcri;, Kaplan. Prahm, McGrce ey.

In the pre- liminary to the championship melee, the Fraternity crown was fought for by the un- defeated Phi Epsilon and Pi Lambda Phi frats. The latter led at the half 10 to 7 but were forced to relinquish this margin when the Epsilons, notably Paul Gauthier, Xick Popa.

R( ' iiiE Schwartz arrival on the Hilltop not only restored interest in varsity teams but laid the foundation for a wide and varied intra- mural sports plan. First of the campus athletic activities was the early December clash between Ware- ham Hall ' s freshman football team and Dowling Hall. More than a thousand spec- tators payed a dime each to watch the struggle, evincing an interest and desire to see intramurals take their place at Creighton along Nith other school activities. Light but speedy Wareham played their heavier opponents to a standstill, win- ning 6 to when .Art Moellering cracked through the line in the third quarter for a touchdown. The score was made possible through heady running by John Essay and Leo Sweeney, a pair of light but fast ball luggers. These two backs tore through the big blue line almost at will. Four marches down the field were required for the Wareham eleven to score their touchdown. On the line Wareham ' s Ed Lusienski and George McCarthy shone at end and tackle respectively. Although they outweighed their opponents fifteen pounds to a man, Dowling couldn ' t hold the fast charging red shirts nor open holes for their own. Bernard Vinardi. Bernie Engler, Louis Seno and Mike Devich were the mainstays for the Dowlingites. Wareham Squad 134 Wilfred R. Higgixs Major Infantry The Men ' s Rifle Team JDluejay R.O.T.C. riflemen were active in 19 matches during the past year. Many turned out for the team in the fall from which eleven were chosen to represent the university. Those on the team were: Captain Robert John- son, William Skokan, Arnold Lempka, E. E. Griffin, Charles Hermanek, William O ' Neill, Robert Biglin, Guy McClure, Eugene Clark and Millard Beeson. Major Wilfred R. Higgins acted as director of rifle marksmanship while Sergeant Lawrence Dempsey and Sergeant Curtis D. Kier were team coaches. In the inter-company competition preceding the inter-collegiate matches. Company D ' s team walked off with the honors. There were four company teams and the band team in this league. The rifle tea m was divided into two groups, A and B. Team A shot 12 shoulder- to-shoulder matches and one postal match while team B was entered in six shoulder- to-shoulder meets. The outstanding event of the year was the annual Hearst National Inter-collegiate postal meet. Creighton finished in fifteenth place among 37 competitors. Eugene Clark finished in seventh place in the meet with a score of 188 out of 200. Several trips were made by team A. A triangular match was held at Iowa City between the University of Iowa. University of Wisconsin and Creighton. . dual meet with the University of South Dakota was held at N ' ermillion, S. D., and one with the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. At home the Bluejay riflemen met the University of Nebraska and Iowa State. Two five-man teams were entered in the Omaha Rifle League. There were six other teams entered in the league, five civilian groups and the Fort Crook soldiers squad. In this league the two Creighton squads met all opponents.

Duce Hel- lord. ()iil the billiard, ping-pon and hand- ball tournanients were completed at the time the Blur jay went to print. Tennis, «olf and Softball entries hadn ' t been com- pleted at this time, but the students were taking a great interest in each sport. Last year Helford attempted to promote a soft- ball leajiue but the students failed to hand in teams and the plan fell through. Belford felt confident about the Softball league and a few teams had filed entries. This was the first time that softball had ever been a part of the intramural calen- dar. L ' sually it was included in the intra- mural sports bill, but there never was any action. Track was initiated with the best performer given a chance to attend the Missouri ' alley meet at Tulsa. The sport was late in its tryouts and Coach Belford gave up hopes of entering a team. Inclement weather made it impossible for the squad to workout in the stadium. Golf started last season when the university formed a team composed of Bob Fraser, Bud Connor, Uick Hiller. and Don Lewis. The team broke even in four matches with Kansas and Kansas State in home and home series. Fraser topped the local players and is one of the leading players in Omaha. He was the favorite to win the intramural championship. Ray Furlong, freshman law student, copped the billiard crown from Bob Pren- tiss, journalism sophomore, by the score of 100 to 78. Over 40 participated in the meet. The call-shot tourney hadn ' t started. but was scheduled for the early part of May. Paul Lenz was in charge of all pool tourneys. About 50 took part in the ping-pong meet which was won by Abe Katz, arts junior. Katz defeated Joe Martin in the finals. Many favorites were eliminated in the early rounds. Abe Faier, dentistry junior, copped the handball meet. This classic drew over 20 Abe Katz players. Ping-pong Champion 13 . Coed Sports Li( ii.i.K Kkndai.i Alhlitir Director Lwv. (OKI) ATHi.KTic TEAM branched into wider tields this year when they included in their recreational program swimminp;, tennis, basketball, volknball, ping-pony, and rifling. The main objective of the athletic team, which is composed of women students of the uni ersit ' proper, is to provide entertainment that will be benelkial to the girls both physic- ally and mentally, and to draw the coeds into closer social contact. -Activities were directed by Miss Lucille Kendall, secretary of the college of commerce, and Mrs. F. K. Marsh. The gymnasium was placed at the disposal of the girls every Mon- day night during the entire school year. At this particular time the girls were taught the primary principles connected with swimming, basketball and other sports. The swimming team, as usual, was the most popular activity for the girls athletic team. The primary reason for the great interest and pleasure found in this sport, may be laid to the adept instruction given by Mrs. Frederick E. Marsh, who contributed her valuable aid in bettering and improving the acjuatic sport for girls on the Hilltop. Opportunity was afforded the girls to obtain Junior and Senior Red Cross Life Saving awards. Towards the last of April the girls had their final tryouts before three judges from outside schools, who had complete charge of the trials in order that strictest jus- tice in the awards was assured. Swimming teams were organized in the four divisions of the university where girls predominate — St. Joseph ' s nurses ' home, St. Catherine ' s nurses ' home, Duchesne col- lege and University college. Swimming meets were carded, involving the four teams, Back Row: J. Berndt, E. Stcill, M. Cropper, E. Stover. X. O ' Hollaren. M. McClintock, E. Marsh, B. Amsden. Front Ron-: C. Sedler, M. Richardson, S. Hall, . . Fitzgerald, P. O ' Connor, H. Kelly, R. Farley, M. C. Kull. 138 wherein nine events took place. Included in these events were two relays, three dashes and various free strokes, back stroke, crawl and diving events. All the meets were held in the university natatorium. In Mrs. Marsh ' s swimming classes the girls were shown the different types of strokes, in- cluding the back stroke, the side stroke, the Australian crawl and the breast stroke. This class included many coeds who had already been well grounded in the elementary details of swimming, as well as beginners. To those who knew the various methods of swimming, but who desired to perfect their individual strokes, Mrs. Marsh offered constructive criticism. A great improvement was noted in this particu- lar group at the close of the season. Tennis was an innovation in the girls athletic program this year. Active plans were being laid when the Bluejay went to press to arrange a series of tennis matches with other schools. A spring tournament for tennis followers was also being planned. The fourth year of existence of the Coed rifle team was a successful one. Various matches, postal, telegraphic, and shoulder-to-shoulder, were fired. The team was coached by Major Wilfred R. Higgins. who has won national recognition for his marksmanship. Composed of twenty-eight members, the team was captained for the second con- secutive year by Mary Caroline Kull. Miss Kull succeeded Eloise Copenhaver, who was elected last spring but did not return to school this year. Duchesne girls were given an opportunity this year to take part in rifle activities. Special classes were conducted each Wednesday and Friday at 4:30 for those who desired to attend. The girls from Duchesne were under the supervision of Miss Mrs. Frederick M.arsh Swimming Instructor Back Rou.- B. Stover, D. Benninfj. E. Bollinger, C. .Ailes H. Bcranck. R. Farley. M. C. Kull.

Miss Tyler turned in a score of 45 out of a possible 50. An innovation in the annals of Creighton history this year was directly con- nected with the rifle team. Five of the most prominent members of the coed rifle team were named sponsors of the ROTC unit and took active part in the Military ball on January 11. The girls named, and their respective companies are: Mary Caroline Kull, captain. Company A; Ann Fitzpatrick, Company B; Mary . gnes Green, Company C: Sally Hall. Company D. and Mar - Ruth Ranee, band. They were officially ap- pointed by Major Hardin C. Sweeney. A completely equipped rifle range, located on the balcony of the university gym- nasium, furnished the place for the practice sessions which were held every day during the week.

Basketball continued to rate highest in active participation and interest among the student body. The nurses were members of the outstanding women ' s basketball league, namely, the Knights of Columbus league. As a member of this group they met the following teams — Kitty Clovers, Kinkaids, Film Rows, and Russells. The game with the Russells excited intense interest among the girls included in the team, and the student nurses, as the Russells were the city champions last year. The nurses defeated the fast-playing Russell sextet by three points. The final score was 33 to 30. The only member of the league the team didn ' t meet was the Harkert ' s team. Practice games were played with St. Catherine ' s hospital, St. Joseph alumnae, St. Joseph Church and the Russells. Members of the basketball team were Louise Meier, Anna McConnaughhay, Mil- dred Caldon, Clara Lynn Propst, Bernice Treiger, Christina Tiwald, Edna Stoll, Carmon Ailes, Evelyn Bollinger, Lois Scott and Regina Burnett. Much of the credit for this smoothly working unit must be given Dr. Joseph P. Drozda, coach of the team. Tennis is not just a summer and spring sport for the St. Joseph ' s nurses. Intensive practice is carried on in the hospital gymnasium throughout the entire year. Friday nights are alloted to the freshman class, for physical education. During this time, they take part in all the sports offered to them. In this manner, they obtain a thorough knowl edge of the sports, and in the rest of their years at the hospital, they will become a valuable part of the hospital ' s athletic aggregation. Swimming was offered to the nurses this year by Creighton university. Under the able direction of Mrs. Frederick E. Marsh and Miss Lucille Kendall the girls were instructed in the rudiments and fundamentals of this aquatic sport. Vivian Miller, Lucille Piwald, Elsie Klintworth and Vera Sue Gore were active in this sport. Various inter-school meets were included in the schedule at Creighton to increase the interest of the girls. The swimming classes were held every Monday evening in the Creighton university gymnasium.

Active sports at Duchesne this year, and their managers have been Eileen Brod- erick, soccer; Dorothea Kunkel, volleyball; Alice Slate, basketball; Dorothy V ' an Ackeran, swimming: Marian Peterson, bicycling; Dorothea Kunkel, golf; and Kath- leen Hanley, horseback riding. The major sports during the past year were soccer, basketball, volleyball, and baseball. Soccer was played last fall on the new field west of the college building. Volleyball was the next major game to be played, and after several weeks of prac- tice, a tournament was held. On December 12, the freshman team beat the juniors S. Campbell, M. Donovan, M. Hultman, M. Tyler. 142 Top Row: K. Dvorak, l;. Mur.A... A. Xlii..., a. .-i..u, A. .M.;:l,..;.-wii. L. Milkr, D. Kunkel, K. Kriebs. Bottom Row: S. Campbell, E. Hague. E. Broderick. M. Goodrich. R.

The sophomore class won from the freshman team later with a score of 45-42. Basketball was started after the conclusion of the volleyball tournament, and prac- tices were held every night until the class intramural tournament at the end of March. Basketball teams were chosen in the same manner as the volleyball honorary teams. Rifling is an innovation in the realm of sport at Duchesne. A team of five practised once a week on the university rifle range under the direction of Major VV. R. Higgins. The D club, athletic organization of Duchesne college, is sponsoring this year a hobby organization. Hobbies engaged in are bicycling, roller skating, ice skating, dancing and swimming. A dancing club under the management of Marcella Mulligan meets every Thursday in the college gym. when the members learn tap. folk, and ballroom dancing. Kii-h fAWk l ' Top Row: A. Nemec, L.

College of Saint Mary Athletics l_yuRiNG the past years the College of St. Mary has done everything in its power to further the interest of its students in athletics. Various phases of athletic activity have been offered to those interested in obtaining training in these fields. The college realizes that the student teachers will doubtlessly be called upon to direct physical education classes or to supervise a playground. With this aim in view, the department provides many sports for the enjoyment and physical fitness of the students, as well as giving them the necessary instruction to prepare them for playground supervision. Among the sports which received attention during the past year were basketball, indoor baseball, tennis and field hockey. Field hockey was the most popular sport of the autumn season. Matches were held between the Freshman and Sophomore classes. Kathleen Crowe, captain of the Sophomore team, led her team to a victory o ver the C. Martin, R. McDonald, E. Shea, B. Gaule, M. Kelly, C. Cecil, R. Caccomo, H. Krasovec, R. Pavlik, F. Bremer, E. Nagengast, K. Crowe. 144 Back Row: G. Hoban, M. I. Carey, E. Gallagher, M. Mulcahey, D. Murphy, M. Spratt, A. Liv- ingston, L.

The victory w as achieved only after an extra period had been played in the final game. The score was four to three. Basketball was featured during the winter months. The rules of the game and the underlying principles were studied. In this sport, too, inter-class games were held. However, the Freshman class revenged itself for the defeat inflicted on it by the Soph- omores in hock ey by winning the tournament with the margin of three games to two. Danish gymnastics were taught in addition to the ordinary sports. Several girls planning to specialize in the field of physical education were especially interested in this phase of the work. A beginners course in tap dancing was also offered in connection with the regular gymnasium classes. Agnes Bjork, a member of the sophomore class, has received in- struction from expert teachers and now conducts classes of her own. Back Row:D. Murphy, G. Goodman, C. Dougherty. L. Doran, M.

The basketball team only engaged in three scheduled games this season. In the first game they were defeated by the Kitty Clover team, one of the leading girl ' s teams in Omaha. The St. Joseph ' s Nurses quintet won over the St. Catherine ' s team in the second game. In the other game they lost to the fast Film Rows. The team was under the tutelage of Dr. Havel and was captained by Miss Filothea Lukes, a junior nurse. Eight girls were members of the St. Catherine ' s squad. They were: Filothea Lukes, Rosalie Ann Havel, X ' irginia Gale, Catherine Struckman, Margaret Mary Gatzemeyer, Kathryn Dittrick, Charlotte ' avra, and Erna Duschanek. The winter sport of basketball has always attracted much interest at the hospital. The student nurses and the hospital Pep club give the team enthusiastic backing in all their games. Each girl is afforded a chance to participate in the various athletic events sponsored by the hospital ' s athletic department. The girls on the teams are selected irrespective of classes; the seniors, ju niors, and freshman were all well represented. Through an innovation in the coed sports program on the Hilltop, Saint Cath- erine ' s was afforded an opportunity to partake in all aquatic sports in the Creighton university gymnasium. Dorothy Beste. Filothea Lukes. Marjorie Joye, and Virginia Gale made up the team that participated in a majority of the competitive meets. They were also given an opportunity to obtain Junior and Senior Red Cross Life Saving awards. Mrs. Frederick Marsh and Lucille Kendall supervised all activities given in the university ' s gymnasium. Last year the basketball team was a member of the Holy Name basketball league. They played nine games, many of which were with the outstanding women teams of the city. Margaret Rochford was last year ' s team captain. Although subordinated to swimming and basketball, volleyball received its usual following this year. This sport has been included in the curriculum of physical edu- cation at St. Catherine ' s hospital for two years. More girls were included in active participation in volleyball than in any of the other sports offered in the curriculum. The girls are looking forward to next year ' s swimming season with great eagerness. M. Gatzemeyer, K. Dittrick, C. Struckman, V. Gale, C. Vavra, F. Lukes, E.

To present an accurate and interesting record of the most outstanding of these events has been the task of the 1936 Hluejay staff. Realizing that the ordinary year-book theme does not tie up very closely with campus life, the staff has discarded the theme in favor of actual pictures of student activities. The individualized printing on the main division pages has been supplemented by humorous carica- tures on the subdivision pages, drawn by Harry Walsh, staff cartoonist. The use of a single color on the borders and subdivision pages served to further link the different sections together. Wherever possible, action shots have been used in the departmental sections of the annual. By showing glimpses of the activities in which the various departments engage, it was hoped that this section would have more life and appeal. Several innovations have been introduced in the Bluejay this year. Senior pictures, instead of being taken in the traditional cap and gown, were taken in street clothes. In this way, the staff sought to relieve the monotony of the senior section and achieve more individuality in the pictures. It was the aim of the Bluejay this year to use all new pictures in order to maintain uniformity of background and headsize in the dif- ferent sections. In the sorority section, pictures were taken in drapes rather than in evening clothes. Since the snapshot section is the most truly representative of student activities and campus life, a snapshot contest was sponsored by the Bluejay this winter to obtain a variety of pictures. Prizes were offered for the best group of six photos to be used in the book and the contest was open to all students in the university and affiliated schools. Paul Gauthier won first prize, T. E. Kane won second, and Charles Preston, third. Candid camera shots of different professors on the Hilltop and in the profes- sional schools have also been added to the snapshot section this year. The BluejaV Staff at Work 150 In an effort to make a more logical grouping of the various sections in the annual, the number of main sections was increased to five in- stead of four. In the fifth, Student Life, were placed the write-ups of the different phases of campus social life. The difficulty of obtaining new and effective views of the campus and buildings was met this year by presenting the views in a novel manner. The use of fine pen and ink sketches adds beauty and dig- nity to the opening section of the book. With the idea in mind that good pictures present a more vivid panorama of events than an abundance of copy, the printed matter of the book has been shortened and more attention given to varied and interesting photographs. The copy for the clubs has been cut to a minimum this year and more pictures have been added to the section. The minor traditions of the clubs have been omitted because it was felt that these activities are of no general interest. The pictures of Wareham and Dowling Halls, the boys ' dormitories have been added to the club section of the Bluejay this year because the groups were felt to be representative of all departments of the university and because the dormitories play such a large part in the college life of out-of-town students. The section devoted to campus queens was inaugurated last year and full length pictures of the different girls were run. This year, the type of picture was changed and a full page was given to each individual. The Rose of Delta Sig ' was chosen to take the place of the Bluejay Sweetheart as the various departments did not elect sweethearts this year.

Connelly Ernst Mullin Walsh in The Crcightonian John Bi.oich Managing Editor Marion McClintock Cit Editor JILmkking upon its third year as an ac- tivity of the journalism department. The C night onhin, oftVial weekly publication of the University, successfully completed its second year under the School of Journalism ' s direction with two All-American rat- ings to its credit. Ratinj;; on the 1935-36 issues of The Creightonian will not have been made known until the fall of the next school year. Many innovations and improvements were introduced in both typo- f raphy and news style. The paper was taken over by the School of Journalism, when it was orpianized three years ago, and now serves as a laboratory for journalism students. The students are thus enabled to gain some knowledge and practical experience in both the news-writing and the news-editing aspects of a newspaper. Most of The Creight onion ' s re- portorial staff is composed of students from the school itself, although students from the affiliated schools and other departments of the University hold cor- respondent ' s positions. All editors of the publication are from the journalism school. The system, which was devised for work on the publication in the newsroom, was patterned after that employed by most metropolitan newspapers. The city editor works in the slot of the universal desk, while copy men and re-write men work at the desk. Accuracy and speed are facilitated through the use of this system. Four representatives were sent by the journalism school to the National Collegiate Press Association convention held in Chicago in the fall. Those making the trip were John Hlough. managing editor of the The Creight onian Betty Amsden, editor-in-chief of the Blue jay: Marion McClintock. city editor of The Creight onian and associate editor of the Blue jay; and Bob Haumesser, reporter for both publications. The paper carried from four to six pages each week and, in addition, a special feature was included every week. This was the tabloid-size rotogravure section pub- lished by the Associated College Press, a subsidiary of the National Scholastic Press association to which The Creightonian and the Blucjay have belonged for some time. The Creightonian was one of the first of more than 100 college papers throughout the countrv to carrv the svndicate section. Staff Members Assemble Copy 152 As an innovation in the staff program, special competitive editions were published. The first rivalry took place between the Freshmen and the Sophomores to see which specially selected staff could edit the bet- ter Creightonian. The Freshmen won by a narrow margin and were a- warded a prize, the Sophomores receiving a consolation prize. Pi Delta Chi, the journalism sorority, edited one issue during the second semester. Phi Epsilon, journalism fraternity, published the concur- rent issue. A special edition was published in the fall honoring Bishop James Hugh Ryan, S. T. D., new bishop for the Diocese of Omaha, who succeeded Bishop Joseph Rummel, D. D., who was appointed to the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Another special edition was edited for Homecoming, containing a majority of alumni news and Homecoming information. The annual extra was published again this year for the Junior-Senior Prom. The year ' s class in editing and copyreading devised a complete make-up for the first edition of next year ' s Creightonian. The three best were selected and the managing-editor and the faculty adviser next year will select the best, modelling the succeeding Creightonians on the type selected. The make-up includes headlines, masthead, logotype, and general typography. Included on The Creightonian staff were: John Blough, junior, managing editor; Marion McClintock, sophomore, city editor; Xick Popa, sophomore, sports editor; Marador Cropper, junior, society editor; Jerry Gill sophomore, editorialist; Grant Burden, sophomore, circulation manager; Keith Gallimore, sophomore, feature editor; and Harold Zelinsky, freshman, make-up editor. This year advertising, under the direction of Leo Reynolds. Student Union mana- ger, was sold and managed by a student staff headed by Paul Fry and Rose ISIendel- son. Staff artists were Bob Mullin, junior, and Harry Walsh, senior. This year the advanced news reporting classes, under the direction of S. A. Mahuran, edited and published a Nebraska Style Book as a gesture toward closer professional relations between Nebraska editors and newspapermen and the School of Journalism, and as a practical guide for newspaper offices and students of journalism. The book was based on the former style book used for Creighton University publica- tions alone and printed first in 1933. Stuart A. Mahur.an Adviser Nkk Popa Sports Editor M.

J Moderator The Crcighton Quarterly Shadows Including essays, stories, playlets, sketches, poetry, editorials and comments, the Creighton Quarterly Shadows, is the medium throu ?h which students with a literary bent may display their ability in any field of writing. It is edited and published by the students of the university and affiliated schools. The editors, through the medium of the magazine, gain a working knowledge of editing and making-up a magazine besides obtaining e.xperience in writing. The purpose of the magazine is to interest and encourage Creighton students in the production of literary work. The staff is composed of a board of four editors, representative students from various departments, selected on a basis of capability and willingness. They are known as associate editors, each with his own field. Manuscripts are solicited by these editors who suggest topics to prospective contributors and aid students in preparing copy. In the second issue of the magazine, a prize contest was held for the most unnecessary poem. The conditions of the contest stipulated that poems be submitted by mail and that stamps be enclosed for the return of poems found to be not unnecessary. Kach contestant was asked to submit with his poem a brief apologia, giving the reasons why his offering was unnecessary. The statement could be written in either prose or verse. Frances Hickox, Mary Moonan, Nan Riley and Tom Leddy were the first contributors of unnecessary poems. Four issues of the magazine are published each year under the direction of the board of editors, with students from all departments contributing manuscripts on a wide variety of subjects. Political and medical discussions, tragedies, fairy tales, detective stories, comedies and poems were included in the magazine. A radio play, ' ' Chins Upl which won first prize in the Omaha Women ' s Press Club contest, was printed in the winter number of Shadows. Thomas Leddy was the author. The board of editors for this year included: Nan Riley, graduate student; Thomas H. Leddy, special student; Thomas Edward Kane, medical senior; and Henry Marshall, law senior. Contributors were: Jean Lester, Joan Finley, Walter Lowenstein, Stanley Rosewater, Nan Riley, Ray Nelson, Jack Richard Miller, Mary Ellen Martin, Mary Moonan, Frances Hickox, Robert E. Mullin, Emma Elizabeth Roennau, Ann Elizabeth Langley, Stanley Sackin, Eleanor Luberger, Virginia Gerhard, Henry Peterson, Thomas Edward Kane, Agnes Mooney. The Rev. Leo IMullany, S. J., head of the English department, is moderator of the Shadows. Marshall B. Roennau Kane N. Riley J. Finley Leddy 154 4 Gertrude Martin Editor College St. Mary Golden Record J_HE Golden Record was first published as a monthly in 1926 with the various educational institutions of the Sisters of Mercy in Nebraska contributing material. At that time the magazine contained news items and records of main events in the edu- cational accomplishments of the Sisters of Mercy schools. In 1931 the magazine was reorganized and made its appearance as a college quarterly publication dealing exclusively with literature. So successful was this plan, the magazine has been published under it ever since. Essays, short stories, book reviews, editorials, and verse make up the content of the magazine. The contributions are entirely the work of the student body of the College of Saint Mary with an occasional article by a member of the alumnae. The aim of the publication is to promote individual literary attain- ment, to stimulate talent and efforts in the field of writing, and to pro- vide a medium of self-expression for all students. Those engaged in making-up the publication gain valuable experience by learning the method employed in organizing a standard magazine. The maga- zine follows the typographical style used by most modern illustrated magazines. A unique feature of the magazine is the acknowledgement of college notables, students who have displayed outstanding ability or progress during the year. This year Gertrude Martin, as editor-in-chief, was assisted by Cecelia Engel, poetry editor; Kath- leen Crowe, sophomore associate editor: and Grace Hoban, freshman associate editor. The business staff of the Record was headed by Rose Pavlik as manager, who had as her assistants Faye Bremer, Genevieve Pohl, and Mary Isabel Carey. This group handled the general management and advertising of the periodical. The current year marks the tenth anniversary of The Record, the first issue appearing in April, 1926.

The Cnighton Alumnus, has as its chief purpose the dissemination of alumni news amon , ' Oei hton alumni. The magazine helps to draw the alumni from coast to coast into a more closely organized group, as it keeps them informed as to what their classmates are doing and where they are located. First published in 1926 as an eight-page magazine, the Alumnus is now put out regularly in 16-page editions. On special occasions it appears with as many as 24 pages, plus the cover. The Alumnus is published monthly from September through June, ten is- sues a year, and it is sent free of charge to all graduates and former students whose classes have been graduated. The e.xpense of publication is borne by the general alumni fund, maintained by the yearly Alumni Loyalty Fund drive. The promotion of the Creighton . Iumni Loyalty Fund drive is carried on through the columns of the magazine, a? are other alumni projects including the annual Home- coming, student loan funds, drives for scholarships, the annual football ticket cam- paign, and the University Alumni Spring Convocation. The magazine is also an important medium in the organization and maintenance of the 35 Creighton Alumni clubs that extend from coast to coast. Nation-wide alumni projects calling for cooperative action are launched and promoted through its columns. Each issue carries articles of general interest covering many fields, such as progress made by the University in its various schools and colleges, student and faculty ac- tivities, athletics, monthly messages from the president of the University and the president of the alumni association, and feature articles written by faculty members, alumni, and by nationally-known authorities. An innovation during the past year was the addition of an Alumni Hall of Fame as a regular feature. Each month some outstanding alumnus is chosen for his achievements since graduation and his loyalty to Creighton, and is honored with a brief biographical sketch and publication of his photo.

MiiTox Fkoiim Chit ' f Announcer JDroadcasting from their own studios every day except Saturday and Sunday, the Creighton I ' niversity of the Air con- tinued its list of programs this year over radio sta- tion W.O.W. A staff of five announcers was main- tained throughout the year. Each student was assigned to a certain day of the week, and was thus enabled to obtain valuable training in the broadcasting field. The staff of announcers, headed by Milion R. Frohm, was composed of Mary Ellen Martin, John V. Blough, Walter A. Armbrust, Patrick W. Lynch, and Nick Newberry. The main purpose and aim of this organization is to acquaint persons in this sec- tion with the cultural advantages offered by daily lectures of men who are qualified to speak on the many subjects that contribute to the forming of a liberal education. With this idea in mind, S. A. Mahuran, acting director of the school of journalism, presented a new feature, The Week in the News. In this program, Mr. Mahuran reviewed important events of the past week, and previewed events for the coming week. A change was also made this year in the time of the presentation of The University of the Air. It was heard every day at 5:15 p. m. except Wednesday, when it was heard at 4:30 p. m. Faculty m embers from every department of the university contribute to the series of programs. A series, which is generally assigned to every speaker, includes from three to five lectures given on corresponding days of the week. Members of the class in speech, under the direction of Edwin Puis, professor of speech, delivered a series of plays, features and readings. The University of the Air is sponsored by the Creighton University Alumni as- sociation, under the direction of the Rev. Leo Mullany, S. J., assisted by Frank E. Pellegrin. M. E. Martin- Newberry Lynch Armbrust 1S8 S. J. Dramatics J URiNG the past year the Creighton Little Theatre has succeeded quite well in reconciling two very divergent purposes; that of presenting plays with a popu- lar appeal, and presenting the creative talent of the university. The Little Theatre movement was begun as a means of finding and developing the dramatic as well as the creative talent of the campus. The purpose of the organization was to undertake a new policy, an experimental and self-educational policy. The fact that stu- dents of the university are interested in dra- matics is evidenced by the large and enthusi- astic turnout of talent at tryouts for the various productions. These large turnouts make it possible to select a very able and excellent cast for all the presentations. The Rev. Louis Doyle, S. J., was director of the Creighton Dramatics depart- ment in 1928 when the university players, under his direction, won the Eva La Gal- liene trophy at Northwestern university. He is the author of a book entitled Creative Drama and is a well-known poet. Tommy , a three-act comedy by Howard Lindsay and Bertrand Robinson, was the initial production of the Little Theatre. Presented in the Creighton auditorium October 20, the play concerned a boy and girl who loved each other, but were pre- vented from marrying by the fact that the girl ' s parents liked the boy too well. The play was one of broad comedy, with a touch of pathos throughout, typifying the small town family. Its theme was: the surest way to marry your daughter to someone else is to sing the praises of the man you want her to marry. Tommy Mills, the boy, was portrayed by Jack Williams. IVLirie Thurber, the girl, was played by Mary Ellen Leary. John Slaboch and Patricia O ' Connor gave excellent interpretations of Mr. and Rtv. Lon DoviL. Director The Queen ' s Husband Asserts Himself 16.0 Richard Morax Manager Mrs. Thurber, and Charles Preston appeared as Mrs. Thurber ' s bachelor brother, Dave Tut- tle. William Holtz appeared as Bernard, Tom- my ' s wise-cracking rival, and Judge and Mrs. Wilson were played by Tom Simon and Hazel Kelly. A valuable addition to the auditorium was made in the latter part of October. The audi- torium was remodeled in order to give those back stage, especially the stage crew, more room. The rear wall was torn out completely and the stage was then joined to the engine room, over which two new dressing rooms, a storage room for scenery, and a property room were built. The entire project was completed in four weeks; when finished it enclosed the space between the auditorium and workshop. The second and final dramatic offering of the Little Theatre was Robert Sher- wood ' s comedy, The Queen ' s Husband , which was presented December 9. The play dealt with King Eric VHI, the last of a long line of nonentities , and how he suddenly rises to an alarming situation and meets it superbly. King Eric was played by Sidney Watkins. Xew to Creighton dramatics, he handled the part with great finesse and skill. This performance by Watkins established him as one of the most talented ama- teur actors ever to take part in a Creighton production. Each member of the cast per- formed his part well. Difficult character roles, though small, were handled convinc- ingly. Pantomine and gestures were employed in such a way that the audience was impressed by the sincerity portrayed by the actors. Queen Martha was portrayed by Mary C. Duffy, and her daughter, Princess Anne, by Anita Scott. Richard Coughlin appeared as General Xorthrup, the fire-eating majority leader and self-made dictator. Jack Miller appeared as the suave diplomat and foreign minister, Lord Birten. Laker, an anarchist, although appearing on the stage only once, was rendered unforgettable by the interpretation of John Slaboch. The Cast of The Queen ' s Husband 161 Others in the cast were John Tipton. Thomas Lawse, P dward Kilniurry. Betty Roen- nau, Charles Page, Dan Murphy, and Fred Griffin. This year the Bluejay revue was received and presented as the third production of the Little Theatre. This was made possible only through the demand for the revue by the student body. The third scheduled production, The Patsy , already selected and ready for its initial tryouts, was cancelled in order to make possible the revival and return of this revue. Milton Rieck, well-known local director, was engaged for the show. Rieck can be remembered as the director of such hit productions as The Only Girl and The Red Mill staged under the auspices of the Creighton dramatic department. All of Creighton ' s productions this year were managed by an unusually large and capable stage crew. Aided by the added facilities which were built backstage, the crew, headed by Robert Dwyer, stage manager, erected scenery, adjusted lights and produced sound effects during all productions. Other members of the crew who as- sisted Dwyer were: Fred Griffin, assistant stage manager; William O ' Xeill, technician; assistants, Dan Murphy and John Jamieson.

Director OlXTY-FOUR DEBATES with 50 COllegCS and universities; 22 victories, 18 defeats and 24 non-decisions; one international and three inter-sectional contests; four tournaments; and entrance into the Missouri Valley Forensic League distinguished the past scholastic year for the seven Creighton debaters: Miss Emma Elizabeth Roennau, university college junior; Robert E. Mullin, arts college senior; Henry R. Marshall, law senior; Clayton H. Shrout, arts senior; John G. Liebert, law junior; John C. Hedrick, arts junior, and Ray E. Nelson, arts sophomore. Co-captains of the squad were Clayton H. Shrout and John G. Liebert, with Ray Nelson as Student Manager. The Rev. William J. Finan. S. J., professor of philosophy, was director. Oxford University opened the season on November 12 at Central High school auditorium before a capacity audience. Marshall and Liebert argued so well in favor of a written constitution as opposed to an unwritten one, that they were awarded the decision unanimously by the three judges, Professor H. Adel- bert White, University of Nebraska; Hon. Charles F, McLaughlin and Anthony W. Ackcrmann. The three intersectional contests were with the College of the Pacific, the Univer- sity of Florida, and the L ' niversity of Princeton. This last was held in the Creighton University auditorium and ended in a victory for Clayton H. Shrout and John G. Liebert by the verdict of the critic-judge. Dr. Frederick W. Clayton. Overruling the Supreme Court by Congress was the subject. The first of the four tournaments, the Rocky Mountain Speech Contest was held at the University of Denver. Creighton ' s four representatives, Mullin, Marshall, Hed- rick and Nelson, won first place for schools having more than one team, by a record of 10 victories and 2 defeats. The second tournament was that held under the auspices of the University of Iowa. Besides being represented by four debaters, Hedrick, Mullin, Shrout and Nelson, Creighton had Gail E. Burke, a commerce sophomore, as its representative in oratory. Clayton Shrout John Liebert Ray Nelson John Hedrick 164 Clayton Shrout Betty Roennau John Liebert The last two tournaments, held simultaneously, were first, the Missouri Valley Forensic League, under the auspices of the University of Oklahoma, which was at- tended by Mullin and Hedrick, debating both sides of the A. A. A.; Liebert contestant in the Impromptu Speech; and Donald E. O ' Brien, in the Oration; second, Delta Sigma Rho, under the auspices of the University of Wisconsin. Miss Roennau, Shrout, Marshall and Nelson were our representatives there. Nelson was one of the high six among over 30 contestants in the Individual Discussion. Besides the tournaments there were two tours. Marshall and Mullin visited six schools in Missouri, and Shrout and Hedrick, five in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. University of Washington was defeated by the first team, and Marquette L niversity by the second on these trips. Nelson and Marshall, on their way to Madison, met Notre Dame on its campus to win an expression of opinion contest by a majority vote of student judges. There, were five subjects of debate: Written vs. Unwritten Constitution; Congress overriding the Supreme Court; Socialization of Medicine; the Agricultural Adjustment Act; and the Townsend Plan. The following Omaha asso- ciations furnished splendid audiences for our home debates: American Legion (Benson branch). Chamber of Commerce, Cosmopolitan Club, Concord Club, Continental Club, W.O.W.

Spiritual Counsellor Spiritual Life Xhe curriculum at Creighton university is planned to educate the entire man. mind, will, heart and Ijody because the univer- sity, in maintaining the standards of a CathoHc seat of learning, is concerned not merely with the material benefits of education but also with the .spiritual development of the individual. Besides the regular classes in philosophy and in moral training for Catholics and non-Cath- olics, there are student organizations and plan- ned activities for the promotion of spiritual life. The center of these activities and organiza- tions at Creighton is the Sodality of Our Lady. It is the powerhouse from which life-force is sent into the whole system. The sodality is under the aigis of the Immaculate Con- ception and of St. Aloysius, particular patron of students. .According to its rules, the Sodality aims directly at the spiritual development of its members by fostering in them an ardent devotion and filial love towards the Blessed Mother of God. Through this devotion it seeks to spread the practice of Christian virtue and the frequent use of the means of increasing grace, prayer and the sacraments. It further aims at develop- ing in the students an ability for leadership in the apostolate for souls by teaching its members methods of Christian zeal and charity and initiating them into the funda- mentals of Catholic Action. The University Sodality comprises all the sodalities established in each of the university departments. Together with the Sodalities of the affiliated schools the Uni- versity Sodality forms the University Sodality Union. This Union combined with the Union of High School Sodalities constitutes the Omaha Sodality Union. At the head of the Omaha Union for the year was Joseph V. Finnegan, arts senior, assisted by Walter Rotter, commerce senior, and Gertrude Claire Martin, St. Mary ' s sophomore. A board of consultors, two from each unit of the Union, assisted in the government of the Union. Each department of the University has its sodality, governed by a board of student officers. The board includes a prefect with two assistants, a secretary and Joseph Finneg.4n Charles Condon Max Valdez 168 iiMi Paul Conlan Joseph Dodge Jerry Gill Stanley Smazal a treasurer together with a group of consultors under the direction of the student coun- selor. Prefects for the year in the various departments were Joseph W. Finnegan, college of arts and sciences; Charles J. Condon, college of commerce and school of journalism; Max J. V ' aldez, college of pharmacy; Paul M. Conlan, school of dentistry; Joseph C. Dodge, school of law; Stanley F. Smazal, school of medicine; Nell B. O ' - Hollaren, university college. Regular activities of the Catholic students of the university included the sodality Mass each Friday morning in St. John ' s church for the undergraduate departments with devotions in honor of the Blessed Mother of God and an address by the Director; the University Mass on Sundays with a sermon by the Rev. Joseph A. Herbers, S. J., and the sodality meeting of the law and dental schools on Thursday noons. On each First Friday there was a general communion for all sodalists. The Sodality council of each undergraduate department met weekly to promote the spiritual interest of its individual contingent. Conferences were held with the officers of the professional school sodalities for the same purpose. The executive board of the sodality union met weekly to promote the spiritual interests of its individual contingent. Conferences were held with the offi cers of the professional school so- dalities for the same purpose. The executive board of the Sodality Union met every alternate month during the year to outline a program of union efforts in Catholic .Action. One hundred and fourteen new members were enrolled in the Sodality on February 28, the feast of the youthful St. Gabriel, in a solemn service at which the Reverend Director. Francis G. Deglman, S. J., officiated. A special committee of sodalists known as the Marian Committee, under the chairmanship of Charles V. Higgins, commerce junior, pre- pared each month a calendar of sodality days. Specific activities are promoted, under the auspices of the sodality, through guilds and clubs. The apostleship of Prayer, a pious union in honor of the Sacred Heart, fosters daily practice of devotion and sacrifice, particularly the Morning Offering and the Communion of Reparation. The Mission Units gather small Rev. Joseph A. Herbers, S.J. Department Head 169 GaII. BlRKE Studv Club President contributions each week for the aid of home and foreign missions. The Xavier Forum, a diocesan collegiate study unit on missions and missionary problems held meetings every second Thursday evening in the diocesan chancery. The forum made a comprehensive study of the mission activities among the negro and Indian population of America, of the methods in aiding convert work in the cities and of the oriental rites. Miss Mary Duffy of Dublin, Ireland, was a guest speaker on the work of the Legion of Mary; the Rev. Leo Doyle, S. J., of the Rosebud Res- ervation, discussed the neo-paganism move among the Indians; the Rev. Leo Cunningham, S. J., of the Porcupine Sioux Indian Mission, portrayed Indian life; Dr. John Hritzu ex- plained the Greek Catholic rite. The Rev. Patrick (3 ' Connor of St. Columban ' s Chi- nese Mission and the Rev. James O ' Brien, diocesan director of the Propagation of the Faith and of the Omaha Students ' Mission Crusade were honorary members of the Forum. Bernard ' inardi, law senior, is president; Teresa Peter, journalism junior, and Dorothy Polan, secretaries; Nell O ' Hollaren, university college sophomore, vice president; Waiter Rotter, commerce senior, treasurer. The Forum sponsored various mission activities throughout the year and gave support to the Mission Crusade. Walter Smith, law junior, represented the Forum at the National Mission Crusade convention, held in Dubuque. Iowa, last August. Raymond Fox, arts junior, was president of the Omaha Students Crusade. A new organization, known as the Evidence Guild of Catholic Truth, was started this year through the initiative of members of the Sodality of the Law school. The purpose of the guild is to widen the knowledge of religion among students of the pro- fessional schools by a comprehensive study of the entire field of Catholic doctrine in a three-year course, covering the dogmatic truths of revelation, the means of salvation and sanctification and the moral law. The study is conducted in the form of informal discussions under the direction of the Rev. Moderator.

John Liebert, law junior, was chairman and Kenneth Dellamater, law freshman, secretary. The Catholic Action Study Club held meetings every third Thursday of the month. It is an open forum for undergraduate students for the discussion of sociological, eco- nomic and ethical problems from the viewpoint of Christian principles and ideals. Like the Xavier Forum it is in its fourth year of existence. It owes its origin to a student movement for an opportunity to learn self-expression on religious thought through a study of problems as presented in current life. The main discussions of the year revolved around the nature and motivation of communism, its manifestation and methods, the evaluation of its theories and its failure, where based on false phil- osophy. Gail E. Burke, commerce sophomore, is president of the club. Every under- graduate department of the university is represented in its membership. The St. Berchman ' s Acolytical Society rendered appreciated service throughout the year by furnishing servers at the early masses in St. John ' s church, at the Friday and Sunday student masses and at various solemn church functions of the university. The thirty-two members of the society are drawn chiefly from the resident students of Wareham and Dowling Halls. Robert Cizek. arts sophomore, succeeded Joseph Slattery, arts junior, as president of the altar boys and Maur- ice Stoner was chosen his assistant. These of- ficers arranged all schedules and assignments. The patronal feast of St. John Berchman, No- vember 27, is kept annually with a general communion at a mass for the servers and a festivity in the evening. Following the lunch- eon and the toasts, an Award of Honor was pre- sented to Joseph Slattery and the Fidelity award for signal service was given to Joseph Finnegan, arts senior. The Sacred Sentinel Service was continued during the year, rendering honor to the Blessed Sacrament on the First Friday of each month during the hours of exposition in St. John ' s . , . , Bernard in.ardi church and at the FortV Hours m the parish Xavier Forum President 171 Robert Cizek Altar Bovs ' President churches as well as on the anniversary of the institution of the Blessed Sacrament on Maumly Thursday. The Sodality Choir, introduced last year, extended its services to the student ' s mass on Krida , besides singing at the University mass on Sundays. It aims at rendering appropriate songs according to the seasons of the ecclesi- astical year and the festivals on the church calendar. Robert Garvey, arts junior, and Rob- ert Higlin, arts sophomore, acted as organists. Several important religious activities are sponsored by the Sodality during the year. The annual retreat, held from January 29 to Febru- ary 1. is the most outstanding spiritual event of the year. The Rev. Daniel . Lord, S. J., con- ducted the e.xercises for the Catholic male stu- dents of the university in St. John ' s church. The Catholic women students ' retreat was held at the Creighton Hall by the Rev. B. J. Quinn. S. J., dean of men. . t the same time, the Rev. George A. Deglman. S. J., regent of the corporate colleges, directed the retreat at the College of St. Mary; the Rev. Patrick Phillips, S. J., at Duchesne College; the Rev. Joseph Herbers, S. J., at the school of nurses at St. Joseph ' s hospital, and the Rev. Herbert Xoonan. S. J., for the nurses of St. Catherine ' s hospital. The Rev. Raphael N. Hamilton, S. J., of Marquette University, gave the confer- ences for non-Catholic students in the Creighton auditorium. Impressive ceremonies marked the closing of the retreats. Mass was celebrated by Father Lord, the entire student body received holy communion and after mass, the papal blessing was be- stowed on all by the master of the retreat. L ' nder the auspices of the sodality, a Day of Catholic Action was sponsored on February 1. The theme of The Mystical Body formed the center of the three ses- sions held in the auditorium. Questions and discussions from the floor followed each of the expositions of this sublime doctrine given by Father Lord. Over six hundred sodalists attended. Twelve colleges and fourteen high schools were represented. The iJ,J. t ' Top Row: V. Williams. McBride, Slattery, Weber, Schwertly, Biglin, Hanim, Crowley. Middle Ro ' iv: Gauthier, Burke. Sweeney.

Several public novenas were held during the year, a novena for vocations, novenas for success in examinations before the close of each semester, the novena of Grace in March and the novena for the graduates in May. Noonday Benediction commemorated each of the major feasts of the year. A solemn triduum of holy hours preceeded the feast of Christ the King and a similar triduum prepared the sodality feast of the Immaculate Conception which closed with a special university mass for students and faculty on December 8. During Lent, regular noon-day services were held on Wednesdays and Fridays. The months of October and of May witnessed special daily devotions in honor of the Blessed Virgin. The Mother ' s Day celebration on the first Sunday of May to honor as the ideal of perfect motherhood the great Mother of God is among the most notable ceremonies of the year. Unique in the plan of the spiritual life of the university stands the Faculty So- dality comprising the membership of faculty members of the laity. It holds meetings on the first Friday of each month. The Rev. Francis G. Deglman, S. J., stu- dent counsellor and spiritual director of the university sodalities is in charge of the spiritual life of the students of the university. As such, he directs the various religious clubs and so- cieties. He is ably assisted by the head and professors of the department of religion, by the freshman and sophomore lecturers for non- Catholic students, by student advisers, and by the Reverend Directors of sodalities in the Uni- versity College and affiliated schools: the Rev. Joseph A. Herbers, S. J., University College, the Rev. Francis X. Reilly, S. J., St. Joseph ' s hospital, and the Rev. William J. Leahy, S. J., St. Catherine ' s hospital.

KtN Prefect The University Coed Sodality J-HK Sodality of the Blessed Virgin, organized three years ago, is the main spiritual organiza- tion of the Catholic wom- en enrolled in the college of commerce, the school of journalism, and the university college. The Rev. Joseph A. Herbers, S. J., moderator, is the director of the Sodality which was instituted with the avowed purpose of inspiring its members to live according to the doctrines of the Mother Church. A formal reception was held in the Chapel of Creighton Hall February 1. at the closing exercise of the annual retreat which was conducted by the Rev. B. J. Quinn, S. J., at which time three coeds were taken into the Sodality. Those received were: Cecilia Dittrick, Eleanor Xovak, and Catherine Gamerl. Father Herbers conducted the ceremonies assisted by Nell O ' Hollaren. prefect of the Sodality, and Frances John- son, secretary. The girls were presented with bronze medals of the Blessed Virgin and Sacred Heart. The Sodality sponsored a buffet luncheon from which the proceeds were given to the Rev. Preuss, S. J., pastor of St. Benedicts church for the benefit of the colored people of his parish. Two candy sales were given in order to raise money for a dona- tion to the missions. The members of this group received Holy Communion in a body ever - Sunday at St. John ' s church. Officers of the sodality this year are Xell O ' Hollaren, prefect; Teresa Peter, first assistant; and Frances Johnson, treasurer. Through the efforts of these officers, an in- teresting program was planned for the bi-weekly meetings.

J., the St. seph ' s Sodality of Blessed V ' irgin now has a membership of fifty-six students which includes all Catholic nurses of the hos- pital. The first Sunday of each month was set aside as Sodality Sunday, at which time the sodalists received communion in a body and each member wore her sodality medal. Every Sunday morn- ing the organization met for a short convocation. Meetings were held at regular intervals for the purpose of having special devotions and activities. .All members of the sodality participated in a three-day retreat which is given annually by an outstanding member of the Jesuit order. The retreat-master for this year was the Rev. Joseph A. Herbers, S. J. The sodality ' s purpose is to create in its members an ardent devotion, reverence and filial love for the Blessed Mother of God. Through this devotion it seeks to make its members good Catholics, sincerely bent on sanctifying themselves, each in her own state of life. The sodality tend to further faith in the individual Catholic student and also to bring forth those ideals which are qualifications for membership. The group performs a number of activities and devotions including the singing of hymns, the recitation of various religious devotions and the attendance of the special sermons every Sunday. The officers during the past year were: Irene Drahota, prefect; V ' ivian Miller, as- sistant prefect; Esther Bartson, secretary, and Theresa Walla, social director. Top Row: A. Weverinj:, M.

I IK Sodality of the lilrsst ' d ' irgin Mary has always been one of the most important organiza- tions in the St. Cather- ines school of nursing. The membership includes Kkv. VVii.LiAM LtAiiv, S. J. ' . Gwendolyn Mn.vKv Moderator all t atholic nurses in the p j hospital and the group is under the direction of the Rev. William Leahy, S. J., moderator. Every Sunday morn- ing during the past year, the group met in the hospital chapel for the weekly meeting. At this time an office was recited in honor of the Blessed Virgin and a short sermon pertaining to some religious event was delivered. The special object toward which the sodality is directing its efforts at this time is the establishment of a library at the hospital. In this library, will be found books, periodicals, pamphlets and Catholic literature of all kinds. The sodalists participated in a three-day retreat given by a prominent member of the Jesuit order and on the first Friday of each month the members of the sodality received Holy Communion in a body. The Study club, of which the sodality is a branch, met for a discussion period once a month. The meetings were held under the direction of the officers who were elected at the beginning of the year. Discussions on the activities of the organization and on different religious topics were featured at the meetings. Gwendolyn Mulvey was prefect of the sodality this year; Alice Jostes was assistant prefect, and Catherine Probst was organist. Back Row: K. Dittrick, M. E. Green, G. Shanahan, G. Mulvey, C.

The sodality which is now a world-wide organization has its own status and rules and is enriched with almost as many spiritual favors as the great Prima Primaria in Rome, with which it is affiliated. Any Catholic stu- dent of Duchesne College is eligible for membership in the sodality and may receive the medal of Our Lady, At present there are twenty-four members and thirty-six as- the sodality emblem, pirants. The College Sodality is affiliated with the graduate Children of Mary. In this unit there are over one hundred and ninety-five members. The officers are: Mrs. L. C. Nash, president; Mrs. Arthur Coad, vice president; Miss Adele Moores and Miss Helen Flynn, secretaries, and Miss Xatalie Gunlock and Miss Eileen Jeffers, treasurers. Meetings of the Children of Mary and of the aspirants are held twice each month. The program for the meetings consists of discussions of topics of current interest to sodalists, and short instructions given by the sodality moderator. The activities of the sodality include the singing of Christmas carols at various institutions, including St. Joseph ' s and St. Catherine ' s hospitals and St. James ' Or- phanage. Interest in the work of the Catholic press is stimulated by the support of a pamphlet rack, which has disposed of over two thousand booklets since September, and the subscriptions to many Catholic magazines and newspapers. Sodalists also distribute Catholic literature outside of the College. The Children of Mary are sup- porting -Aloysius Duchesne, a protege of Father Marion Hatson, S.

Sodality of the Blessed V irgin, spir- itual orf anization of the College of Saint Mary, ended another year, successful in membership, attendance and co-operative spirit. The sodality was formed to promote the spiritual advancement of its members. The highest aspiration of the sodality is to make its members the concrete and living examples of its ideals in faith, in character and in spirit. Membership is open to all Cath- olic students in the college. Rose Paviik Prefect Reception of the new members took place on De- cember 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception. At this time the pledge to Mary was taken and the new members began a life consecrated to Our Lady. During the past year, Rose Marie Paviik held the office of prefect; Faye Bremer, the office of vice prefect, and Mary Isabelle Carey, that of secretary. Adhering to the national sodality movement, the sodality is composed of committees, each under the supervision of a chairman. Those acting as chairman this year were: Cecilia Engel, Our Lady ' s committee; Marguerite Kelly, Eucharistic; Catherine Moriarity, Catholic literature; Catherine Martin, Apostolic; Helen Krasovec, publicity, and Elizabeth Nagengast. Mission. The sodality held weekly meetings at which the Office of the Blessed Virgin was read and the Litany recited. Following this, there was a short business meeting, and from time to time various programs were offered. All members of the sodality partici- pated in a three-day retreat given by an outstanding member of the Jesuit order. The Rev. George Deglman, S. J., regent of the college of commerce and the corporate col- leges, was retreat master this year. The annual May Day celebration closed the sodality year. Three outstanding members were chosen to take special parts, representing the group, in the crowning of Our Lady as Queen of the May. Marked progress has been made by the sodality this year as it forged ahead with new ideas, new projects and new members. Each girl was eager and anxious to show herself worthy of membership in the sodality and to do her part toward making the group a strong and worth while organization. Some interesting and valuable information was shown throughout the year on the bulletin board and attendance at the sodality meetings was almost perfect. The so- dality tends to further faith in the individual Catholic student and also to bring forth those ideals which are qualifications for membership. Being affiliated with the Creighton University, the College of St. Mary Sodality was active in the University Sodality Union which is an organization of all sodalities in the different departments and affiliated schools. The principal devotion of the weekly meetings of the sodality is the recitation of the office of the Blessed Virgin in the college chapel. After the office, business sessions ensue at which time many projects are discussed and successfully carried out. A. gen- eral discussion of the activities of the sodality is always carried on after the formal meeting. 7% i) S i C JOSLI ' II E. SolioTA Director The University Orchestra V_ OMPOSED of approximately thirty-five stu- dents representing; every department of the university, the Creiyhton University Orchestra made its most im- portant formal appearance at the second annual May Musicale. The May appearance featured a program of classical and semi-classical music. The orchestra ap- peared in conjunction with the University Glee Club and the University Band. The musicale was sponsored by the music department. Selections included in the program were: Rosa- muude Overture by Schubert; Gold and Silver by Le- har; La Czariiir by Ganne; Polonaise M Hit aire by Chopin; and selections from the Mozart Suite. The music department has access to a large library, as well as to a wealth of talent which has made the past year a most profitable one. Dean Kovar. a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, served as manager of the University Orchestra. He replaced Henry Mendelson who had served in that capacity for several years but was graduated last June from the School of Journalism. The Rev. Louis A. Bloomer, S. J., instructor in English, served again as moderator for the group. Joseph Sobota once more acted as director. In addition to the May Musicale, the orchestra made several other appearances including debates, plays, assemblies, and at the students ' welcoming program for the Most Rev. James Hugh Ryan, S. T. D., newly appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Omaha. From the orchestra membership, a group of twelve was chosen to comprise the Little Ensemble which played for many campus activities. The Students ' Union clubrooms in the gymnasium were reserved each Monday night for the orchestra practice. The weekly rehearsals are held by the group as a preparation for public appearances. ml A M ' iM 1 f m JfWM iJL f f ■ V J K ji Is l TmL ■■B, IHpcsil ' BHFI ? f m .JP. r..« J ♦ f J m% ' i« v V =ritji?t i - - f t L i m i ji - - .-T. .., n m K-lP w ' (h kU, 7- •Si w.

HHV ' WKI F [ The University Orchestra 180 The University Glee Clui The University Glee Club Xhe University Glee Club, Creighton ' s representative vo- cal club, was again formulated this year to include the coeds of the university and those from Duchesne. Last year the club was organized after a lapse of over two years 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 university chorus by The Rev. Louis A. Bloomer, S. J., moderator of music. From a large, enthusiastic group of students who tried out for membership in the glee club, those possessing the best voices were selected to form the nucleus for all campus vocal work. With students representing every department of the university present, the chorus rehearsed once every week, meeting in the Student Union rooms in the gymnasium. Miss Margare Abel, a student of the graduate school, served as accompanist. For the first time since the existence of the glee club, a men ' s quartet was organ- ized. Its popularity with the student body and the faculty was demonstrated in the Bluejay Revue, in which the quartet played an impor- tant role. The only formal appearance made by the glee club was the during the spring at the May Musicale, which the orchestra and chorus combined to present. The chorus was augumented by the choir from St. John ' s church which increased the number of voices taking part in the musicale to over one hundred. The program was composed of request numbers, sung from music ar- ranged in four parts for bass, tenor, alto and soprano voices. Through the skillful work of director Jamieson, the full chorus collaborated to present a program enjoy- able to all who were present. Prospects for a more successful glee club next year are made evident by the fact that very few members of „ t k t, c t ■ ' , , . Kz . Louis .a. Bloomer, S.J. the chorus will be graduated this year.

PROMiNKNT PART in all school activities is taken by the Creighton University R.O.T.C. band under the able leadership of Daniel Slezinger, U. S. A., retired. It is primarily a military organization although it is the official university band. The band was larger this year than any band in the history of the school, and played at more functions of the university than any previous band. It provided music for all of the drills and parades of the military unit, besides playing for all the home football games and the basketball games. The band furnished music for the various pep rallies held in the gymnasium and auditorium, the convocations and the com- mencement exercises. The band also took part in the Homecoming parade through the downtown streets. Continuing its activities of last year during the football games, the band executed many intricate maneuvers and formations between the halves. The band created a striking appearance at all performances in their white and blue uniforms. It is con- tinually making new advancements in its activities each year. The men playing in the band are given equal credit with those partaking in the actual drill and field maneuvers. The University R.O.T.C. Bajjd 182 The Creighton University Band At the annual Homecoming game between Creighton and Drake, seven different bands were presented between the halves of the game. The Drake band was especially outstanding because of its drum-major, Don Williams. Williams, who is the champion college drum-major of the country, entertained the crowds with numerous stunts, among them tossing his baton over the goal posts and catching it again. Other bands which executed maneuvers on the field between halves were the Creighton R.O.T.C. band, Father Flanagan ' s ' Boy ' s Band, the Benson Boy Scouts ' Band, the Abraham Lincoln High school band, the V eterans of Foreign Wars, and the South Omaha band. These bands also took part in the huge parade which was staged by the students preceeding the game. The Drake University Band 183 The Duchesne Glee Club J- HE Duchesne College glee club consists of twenty members of the student body who meet twice a week under the direction of Marcia Xeil Xordstedt, a student who serves as a director. Mary Ahce Dunham ' 35, and Xan Riley, ' 35, have served as accompanists during the year and have contributed ma- terially to the success of the organization. Besides the glee club, the musical organization of the college included a trio and an octette. The trio consisted of Joan Finley, Agnes Van Ackeran and Julia Mugler. The octette was composed of Marjorie Hranigan. Susan Campbell, Heth Murphy. Kathryn Kriebs, Harriet Paige, Evelyn Borkowski, Mary Clare Goodrich and Kath- leen Dworak. The latter group was organized in February. A spring musicale, featuring semi-classical numbers, was presented by the glee club on April 29 and was open to the public. The trio, octette and entire glee club took part in the presentation. Besides this concert, the trio and chorus presented numbers at the annual Mardi Gras coronation, held February 21 at the college. It is planned to have the spring concert an annual affair. Xumbers sung by the glee club in the concert were: The Ballad of the Leaves and the Master, by Xevin- Lanier: The Kye Song of the St. Bride, by Clohey; The Galway Piper, by Fletcher; My Love is A Fisherman, by Strickland: and the Czcehoslovakian Dance Song, by Manney. The octette presented Dusk, by Matthews; and A Tiny Seed Becomes A Shrine, by Skeath Coburn. The trio sang The Piper oj Love, by Carew; and Children of the Moon, by Warren. The glee club activities present an unusual opportunity for service to the school, besides a great deal of enjoyment. The chief purpose of the chorus has not been to sponsor solo work but to encourage those possessed of average voices to sing in the group with others and to produce a form of recreation and entertainment for all the students.

HE Glee Club of the College of Saint Mary has the distinction of being the oldest organization on the campus. During the past year it has been recognized as one of the most active groups in the college. The purpose of the club is to afford to those students who are interested in voice an opportunity to unite, and continue their study in this field. The organization also gives those who are planning to specialize in music an opportunity to put their knowl- edge into actual practice. Besides learning voice culture, the students are taught the fundamentals of teaching music. This is in an important aid to the practicing teacher. Rehearsals are held regularly at the college. At these meetings plans for future programs are discussed and the numbers to be sung by the group are chosen. The library of the club consists of religious and secular selections. However, the activity of the group is not limited and it has been found necessary to include all types of numbers in the repertoire. The club furnishes programs for retreats, chapel services and the various celebra- tions held during the year at the college. The members appeared in the spring pro- duction of the dramatic club. During the past year the Glee club has sponsored one radio program and is plan- ning to include another in its activities before the close of the present term. Featured as soprano soloists were Elaine Holland and Eva Armbruster. La Vonne Parsons played violin obligatos to several of the club ' s selections. Marie Bies ac- companied the group on the piano. Those students who took an active part in the Glee Club this year were: Leona Schmid, Eva Armbruster, Evelyn Gallagher, Eulalia Burns, Grace Hoban, Elizabeth McGuire, Agnes Livingston.

Hi IhlW Ql ARTKTTL The Creighton Bluejay Revellers v_ rganized in February, the Creighton University Bluejay Revellers , a male quartet supplies a long-felt demand for such an or- ganization. Attempts had been made several times in the past few years to organize such a quartet however, because of the Bluejay Revue, the immediate need was recognized. The membership of the quartet consists of Lawrence Keller, a commerce sopho- more, singing first tenor; Walter Traub, arts freshman, singing second tenor; Leo Kowalski, arts sophomore, baritone; and George Johnson, arts freshman, second bass. The quartet is accompanied on the piano by John Sanduski, arts sophomore. The Rev. Louis A. Bloomer. S. J., instructor in English, is faculty moderator for the or- ganization. The men were picked from over thirty trying out. Several are members of the University Glee Club. All members have had a great deal of previous experience singing. As the men are only in their second college year, it is hoped the organization will prove a pei manent one on the Hilltop. In their singing, the quartet will try and reflect the color and spirit of Creighton college life. The White and the Blue is one of their feature numbers. Their own interpretation of Take Me in Your Arms will be the theme song, sung at the be- ginning and end of each performance. Their repertoire includes semi-classics, novelty numbers, and classics. Novelty numbers include, My Grandfather ' s Clock, Nola, That Old Gang of Mine, Invictus, and Shortenin ' Bread. The quartet rehearses about three times a week. John Sanduski also plays solo numbers on the piano-accordian. The music is already ar- ranged in four parts but the quartet makes its own interpretations and novelty ar- rangements. Primarily they organized to assume an important role in the Bluejay Revue and in the Hyde Park Soap Box Derby but their activities extended to social activities and next year will include a part on the Creighton radio hour and numerous activities where there is need of such entertainment. Activities this year were restricted solely to school functions though they had demands for outside work. 186 LC N fU Lti) Reynolds Manager The Agncw Loan Fund Xhe Agnew Loan Fund was created in September 1930 for two reasons: first to honor the memory of the late Rev. William Agnew, S. J., former president of the univer- sity; and secondly, to help worthy and needy students who might be forced to leave Creigh- ton if the necessary funds were not available. Last year over fifty students were helped. The drive for the fund this year was under the direction of the Students Union Board of (Governors, with the Rev. B. J. Quinn, S. J., as moderator and Leo J. Reynolds as general man- ager. James Cunningham, Union Board presi- dent, was student director. A unique feature of the drive was the publication of a single paper, tabloid-size, called the ' .Agnew Loan Wolf . For three weeks preceding the Loan P ' und dance, which was held on April 17, the paper appeared on Monday, explaining the purpose of the fund and giving information about the dance. The paper was published by the board of governors with Paul Ernst and John Blough, journalism students as editors. Harry Walsh. The Creightonian staff cartoon- ist, drew the cartoons. Directors in the various colleges, appointed by the president of the board, soli- cited contributions from the students. The subscriptions were paid annually, semi- annually or quarterly. The Loyalty cup, given to the department of the university making a 100 per cent collection of its pledges, was presented by the Rev. Patrick Mahan, S. J., president of the university. Xo loans are made during the first semester, except in the medical school where the tri-mester system necessitates a variation of the regulations. Loans are granted to students in the order of their application, all male students in the university being eligible to seek financial assistance from the fund, and as far as possible the loans are distributed among the departments on a percentage basis. The directors appointed during the past year were Paul Ernst, journalism; Ruppert Thompson, dentistry; Robert Zuercher. arts; Charles Condon, commerce; Robert K. Adams, law; Don Weir, medicine; Howard Jensen, pharmacy. In addition to the Loyalty cup, thirty dol- lars in cash was offered in a drawing at the annual Loan Fund dance. For each twenty-five cent pledge paid, the contributor received a chance on the prize. Attendance was not com- pulsory for the winners. James Cunningham - Student Director ISS V i.

C J_ni; Resf.rve Officers Training Corps was made part of the Creighton University curriculum in Janu- ary 1919 under the provisions of the National Defense Act and in accordance with the requirements of the Orj anized Reserves of the United States. Its purpose is the training of students in military tactics during peace time in order to furnish efficient and capable military strength in time of national emergency. In 1919 the enrollment of the Reserve Officers Training Corps was listed as 130 basic students, since then it has increased to an average of 350 basics per year. This year the largest advanced class of officers in the history of the school has been placed in charge of the cadet bat- talion. The first student to receive a reserve officer ' s commission of a sec- ond lieutenantcy, was notified thereof in 1921. Since then, approximately 225 men have been given commissions or made eligible for this group. During the past few years, approximately 20 men, graduates of the R.O.T.C., have taken positions with the Civilian Conservation Corps as executive officers. Major Hardin C. Sweeney, faculty commandant of the Corps, stated, ' T am proud of the record shown by these men. I have received nothing but commendation for their ef- ficiency and capability. The cadet battalion of the University is run by the student officers under the super- vision of the faculty. A cadet lieutenant-colonel and a cadet major, selected from the advanced group by the Army personnel, act as commanding officers with the other members of the advanced corps acting as company commanders and staff officers. The sergeants of the platoons come from the first year advanced students and the corporals from the second basic students. The United States Army personnel, who are the faculty members of the Military department, are Major Hardin C. Sweeney, Infantry, Commandant; Major Wilfred R. Higgins, Infantry; Major Nathaniel E. Callen, Infantry; Sergeant Lawrence J. Dempsey, and Sergeant Curtis D. Kier. Company A 190 Major Callen is the newest addition to the Creighton faculty, re- placing Captain Frederick V. M. Dyer who was called into active duty. Major Callen is a Tennesseean by birth and is a graduate of the Com- pany Officers and advanced school of the Infantry school at Fort Ben- ning, Georgia. This is the Major ' s first assignment to R.O.T.C. work. The past few years he has spent as a National Guard instructor and as a staff officer in charge of plans and training for regular army units. He was sent to the seventh corps area in 1933 having been transferred from Hawaii. This is Major Callen ' s twenty-second year of Army service during which time he served in the Great War as battalion commander and major, and after the war as captain until a recent promotion. During the war he was decorated five times and received three citations for outstan ding service and gallantry in action. He holds the United States Distinguished Service Cross and Victory Ribbon awarded by General Pershing; the British Distinguished Service Order, from Gen- eral Plummer and Winston Churchill; the French Legion d ' Honneure and the Croix de Guerre with palm, from the late Marshall Petain; and three silver star citations from General Pershing, General Lewis, and General Tyson. The student officers for the year were: Battalion Headquarters: James Morris, Lieutenant Colonel; Edward Furay, Cap- tain, adjutant; and second-lieutenants John D. Deising, Joseph Goldware, John C.

Vhv military department maintains offices on the second floor of the gymnasium where all executive and class work is carried on. In addition to this, military drills, periods of two hours each are held once each week on the athletic field where combat [principles and field ma- neuvers are tauj ht. The theory of these drills and maneuvers and rifie marksmanship and musketry are taught in the weekly classes under the tutelage of the regular army officers of the faculty. Some of the phast s of military work covered during the year, over and above the marksmanship and musketry courses, are map reading, first aid. scouting, patrolling, military law. automatic rifle, machine gun, military history, map making, trench mortar, . -millimeter gun, and methods of military attack and defense. The storeroom for the e(|uipment used in the outdoor drill and in- struction is on the ground fioor of the gymnasium. In this storeroom are kept the rifles, packs, machine guns, trench mortar, howitzer, 37- millimeter gun, small arms, and fatigue clothes used in the various courses of instruction in the work. The military department also maintains for the University a male and coed rifle team, each of which competes in shoulder-to-shoulder and telegraphic matches. The military unit does not limit itself to school work alone but provides ushers in the various plays, speeches, and contests put on by the school and takes part in the civic parades and activities of the city. Each year a general inspection is held by an e.xecutive officer of the seventh corps area to determine the excellence of the Creighton Unit in respect to the other training units in the area and in the country. The inspection results in the unit being rated as poor, good or superior. For superiority the school is awarded the Blue star rating for excellence. This year is the fourth consecutive year that Creighton has maintained the Blue star rating. The in pecting officer tests the cadets in each of the fours of the course and the rating is basefl on the results of these tests and the excellence of the field drill and maneuvers that are conducted in front of the inspector. The military department also sponsors a special award day every May, and it is on this day that a number of individual awards are given out to outstanding students for the e.xcellence of their work, and the Omaha Chamber of Commerce flag is awarded to the best drilled and informed company. The best military officer is given a saber Company C 192 in recognition of his work and the best basic cadets are given special awards for their merit in military drill and tactics. The best rifleman is given a special award as is the best coed rifler. The first basic stu- dent turning in the best essay on the National Defense Act and policy of the United States receives a prize. Each summer members of the advanced classes in military train- ing are given a special six-weeks period of camp at Fort Crook, Ne- braska, for the purpose of completing their training in the course be- fore they are given their commission. At the camp they are given ac- tual contact and training in regular army life. They are encamped with members of the R.O.T.C. units from the University of Iowa, the University of Nebraska and the University of South Dakota and vie with the members of each of these units for special honors in the vari- ous events and courses conducted at the camp. The Military Ball, the social event sponsored by the department this year, revealed Miss Betty Roennau as the new Honorary Colonel succeeding Miss Jean Burke of Duchesne. Miss Roennau is a Univer- sity College junior and an outstanding member of the coed rifle team. The Ball this year was held at the Knights of Columbus Ballroom where special ceremonies were held for the installation of the new Honorary Colonel who ruled over the University Battalion during the course of the year. The color guards for the Mili- tary Ball also acted in the same capacity at the Junior-Senior Prom held in January. The new Colonel was presented at the annual Military banquet held immediately pre- ceding the ball. At the banquet she was presented with the regulation West Point saber with a gold and silver hilt in token of her new office. The R.O.T.C. band this year was larger than it has ever been in the history of the school and was under the able direction of Daniel Slezinger, U. S. A., retired. The band, while it is officially and primarily a military unit, is also the official unit for the University and in this capacity furnishes the music at the many athletic contests and important activities during the course of the school year. The men playing in the band are given equal credit with those partaking in the actual drill and field maneuvers. At least two years of either band or military work is required of each male student for graduation privileges. This requirement is suspended only on special occasion and when the student is attending a professional school. James Morris Lieutenant-Colonel Sally Hall Sponsor Co. D. Company D 193 Second Ye. r Advanced Both of the rifle teams sponsored by the military department this year were given greater oppor- tunity for competition than ever before, with more shoulder-to-shoulder matches being scheduled for both the boys ' and girls ' teams. A new advantage is hoped to be afforded the advanced students this year due to a measure passed on by the Congress of the United States which provides that each school having a Reserve Officers Training Unit will be allowed to submit its best students for further training, giving them the op- portuni ty to enter the regular Army with a second lieutenant ' s commission and pay, without training other than that given by the R.O.T.C. in their respective universities. Creighton University was fortunate ' this year in that it will not lose any of its present faculty of the Military department. According to the regulations concerning men delegated to the Detached Officers List, as is the regular .Army Personnel attached to the University, they are only given such work for a period of four years. But the War Department has seen fit to allow the present faculty to remain although two of them are due for replacement. An integral unit of the Military course of the school is the Phalanx fraternity which is composed of the members of the advanced courses. Phalanx is the national military fraternity and Creighton re- ceived its charter in 1933 when the local fraternity of Chi Delta Chi, became the Delta Morae of Phalanx.

Richard Carey, junior in the arts college, was chosen by the board of governors this year to succeed James Chapman, law sen- ior, as Pep Marshall. Carey had been active on the Pep council for the two previous years as c heer leader. The first move of the new Pep Marshall was to appoint new cheer leaders. Andy Kris- inger, commerce sophomore, was made head cheer leader with Joseph Troia, Sam VVeinstein, Robert Walker and Ellsworth Griffin as his assistants. They made it a point to intro- duce new yells at all games during the football season. The annual Homecoming Day celebration was marked by an elaborate parade, sponsored by the pep organization. The Pep Marshall and his assistants contacted all colleges, affiliated schools, campus departments, sororities and fraternities, asking them to enter floats or cars in the parade. Seventeen floats and numerous cars were entered, along with four bands, including the university ' s R.O.T.C. band. At the half of the Creighton-Drake game on this day, Dowling Hall, dormitory for upper classmen, was awarded the loving cup for the float. Their float depicted a Drake football man recovering from the injuries he received in the game. The judges of the contest w ere Jack Rhodes, president of the Junior Chamber of Commerce; Grace Paul Harlan, of the Art Guild school, and R. J. Brinkema, scene designer. An innovation this year was the decoration of the houses on the campus in the school colors. At all football games, the cheer leaders were responsible for arranging to have dif- ferent bands present and for various entertainments presented between halves. I)u K Carey Pip Marshall Language Department ' s Float 196 Andy Krisinger Head Cheer-leader After the Rice-Creighton game in Texas, the Pep council arranged to have the school turn out en masse to give the team a hearty welcome on their return to Omaha. At the beginning of the basketball season, Pep Marshall Carey and Andy Krisinger con- ceived the idea of forming a Howlers Club. The purpose of the organization was to develop an organized fun, pep and cheering section which would provide enthusiastic support for the team at the home games. The membership was limited to co-educational and privileged students and included the affiliated schools. Members of the club wore white shirts and blue and white arm-bands to the games. The center of the reserved seat section was reserved for the Howlers . The group of seventy picked students representing all departments and affiliated schools, made their first appearance at the Washington-Creighton game. Led by cheer leader Andy Krisinger, their yells were so effective that Coach Edgar S. Hickey and different members of the team were enthusiastic in their praise of the organization. James V ' aV ' erka, chemistry instructor, was oppointed faculty sponsor of the club. A group of new yells was originated by Carey and at the remaining basketball games the Howlers introduced the yells to the student body. Cheer leaders to be given awards for service were voted upon by the Union Board in March. Those who were eligible were Andy Krisinger, Robert Walker, Joseph Troia, Sam Weinstein, Ellsworth Griffin, and Richard Carey. Regina McDermott, Duchesne student who was instrumental in organizing the Howlers Club , was sent a letter of appreciation and thanks by the Union Board. The Pep council has completed another successful year and has proven that stu- dent spirit is always present if directed in the right channels. A charter granted to the council by the Union Board two years ago made it a permanent campus group. Howler ' s Club 197 Homecoming Parape in Ddw n mu n Omaha Plans were formulated to make the Howlers Club a permanent organization on the campus, too, with a membership of approximately one hundred students. The projected program for next year includes the use of card displays as part of the cheering entertainment between halves of the games, and thorough cooperation wher- ever their voices, pep and enthusiasm are required. The charter members of the organization were Dick Carey. . ndy Krisinger, Joseph Troia, Marion McClintock. journalism sophomore; Eileen Connelly, journalism sopho- more; Jim Kisgen, arts sophomore; Robert Adams, law junior; Fred (Iriflin, law fresh- man; Sam Weinstein. arts sophomore; Dan Murphy, arts junior; Felix Schmitz, arts senior; Bob Zuercher, arts senior; John Blough, journalism junior; Keith Gallimore, journalism sophomore; Regina McDermott, Duchesne sophomore; Dorothy Larkin, Duchesne sophomore; Dick Stotts, arts freshman; Vivian Marr. pharmacy freshman: Stanley Smazal, medical junior; Charles Thompson, dentistry senior; George Rossi, medical sophomore; Bernice Gaule, St. Marys sophomore; Ed Zumwalt, arts sopho- more; Xell O ' Halloren. university college sophomore, and Albert German, dentistry sophomore.

F!mnia Elizabeth Roennau. university college junior, was introduced as the ninth honorary colonel of the Creighton R.O.T.C. at the annual Military Ball, held in the Knights of Columbus ballroom, January 11. Miss Roennau was dressed in white breeches, a blue coat trimmed in gold braid with a white Sam Browne belt, and a blue cape about her shoulders. She wore a blue overseas cap trimmed in white. A new feature was added to the ceremony this year with the presentation of hon- orary company sponsors. Five coeds, members of the girl ' s ritle team, were chosen as sponsors. Mary Caroline Kull sponsored Company A; Ann Fitzpatrick, Company B; Mary Agnes Green, Company C; Sally Hall, Company D. and Man,- Ruth Ranee, Band. The girls were gowned alike in white chiffon with blue accordion pleated capes, lined in white, draping their shoulders. Blue and white overseas caps completed their outfits. The adjutant ' s call and the command to draw sabers s tarted the ceremonies. The officers saluted James Morris, lieutenant-colonel, who passed between their lines. He was followed by Jean Burke, retiring honorary colonel, and Clayton H. Shrout, com- mander of Phalanx, who marched to position at the head of the double column of officers and coed sponsors. Morris then presented Miss Roennau with a West Point saber with a gold and silver hilt to signify her rule of the university R.O.T.C. for the year. Following the sword ceremony, the honorary colonel was presented with a bouquet of red roses by her predecessor. The officers gave their final salute to the honorary colonel, returned their swords to the scabbards and began the dance. A banquet for the members of Phalanx, military fraternity, and their guests pre- ceded the dance. Honor guests and speakers at the dinner included the Rev. B. J. Quinn. S. J., faculty regent of athletics: the Rev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S. J., dean of the college of arts and sciences; and Major Hardin C. Sweeney, commandant of the R.O.T.C.

CHAPMAX So AIMERS McCl-ELLAN Graham 203 Junior- Senior Prom V_ LiMAXiNG a unique program of six tableaux, Edmond Brick and Betty Amsden were crowned King and Queen Creighton XIV at the annual Junior-Sen- ior Prom held Monday night, February 24, in the Chermot ballroom. The program, commencing promptly at 9:30 p. m.. was broadcast over WOW and lasted one-half hour. The tableaux were staged under the direction of Marie Stew- ard and depicted the history of Creighton since its founding. At the beginning of the ceremony, two trumpeters made their appearance closely followed by the princes who, taking their places on either side of the platform, in turn drew the curtains for each scene of the tableaux. Twenty-two children, ranging in ages from four to ten years, took part in the cere- mony, which consisted of six scenes. The first tableaux represented an Indian scene before white men had come to Nebraska. The second was a pioneer setting showing two scouts. In the third, a wedding was taking place between the two Creighton brothers. Edward and John A., co-founders of the university, and the Wareham sis- ters. Mary Lucretia and Sarah Emily. The following scene showed Count Creighton giving Bishop O ' Connor the funds with which to found Creighton. The ensuing representation was Bishop O ' Connor presenting the deed of trust to Father O ' Neill, S. J. The climax was an impersonation of Count John A. Creighton, the first honorary king of a Creighton prom. Edmond F. Brick King Creighton XIV The Royal Court 204 During the last tableaux. Donald Skutt, representing Count Creighton, called for the King who entered, attired in his er- mine-trimmed robes of royal blue velvet. He was preceded by his crownbearer and followed by two trainbearers. Upon receiv- ing his crown from the minature king, the new regent ascended his throne and called for the Queen. The princesses, garbed in beautiful new spring gowns of net in pastel shades, en- tered. Two tiny flower girls and a crown- bearer were in advance of the Queen, who was also followed by two trainbearers. The Queen, gowned in her regal robes of white velvet, knelt to receive the emblem of her sovereignty. After her coronation the new consort took her place by the King ' s side. Let there be dancing, the King pro- claimed, and the princes and princesses, bowing and curtseying, started the initial dance. Having received the congratulations and acclaim of the court, the King and Queen joined in the dancing.

Its original aim was the solidification of members of the upper classes of the College of Arts and Sciences. However its importance as an influential guide in the College was recognized and it gradually evolved into an undergraduate society. This was done so the mem- bers might be active for their last two years in directing functions in the college. Its members are judged on the basis of scholarship, character, and personality, and by association they attempt to imbue the college with the ideals which are expressed by its shield — the shield of Loyola. Its alumni membership numbers over 250. 242 f:- ) y wu tED O ' OOKIKIKl- VM OCf M VI D M l_AL OMLIN O XHCS d-CAr-fN oco r eeo Founded at Creighton University in 1928 243 eOv AI O MOIftSKf KK A t r-- — n Bi Delta Koppa Delta J ocal Social Fraternity OFFICERS Theodore L.

HAUMESSER Phi Epsilon, local journalism fraternity, was formed almost simultaneously with the new school of journalism in 1933. Prior to that date the journalism school was a part of the college of commerce. The Press club served the purpose of a social organi- zation for students taking journalism subjects. When the school of journalism was set up as a separate department the old Press Club disbanded and Phi Epsilon was formed in its stead. Due to its recent inception its work up to the present has been confined neces- sarily within its own ranks. It has been the custom to hold bi-monthly seminars at which some prominent man of the profession has been the guest of the fraternity. This is in line with the purpose of the fraternity in that it gives its members the opportunity to more fully realize the importance of their profession.

While fraternalism is the object of the organization, the members and alumni are ever seeking to advance and carry on the high ideals of the legal profession. Numerous prominent members of the legal pro- fession are brothers, either active or honorary, including Judge L. B. Day of the Ne- braska Supreme Court, Judge J. M. Fitzgerald, and Judge Francis B.

PHOTO ENGRAVERS OMAHA 295 Over Fifty Years Ago a market for livestock was established at South Omaha where buyers and sellers of cattle, hogs and sheep might meet in open competition. A Few Years Later men of vision formed an organization, the object of which was: To mamtain a commercial exchange; not for pecuniary gain or profit, but to promote uniformity in the customs and usages of members; to incul- cate principles of justice and equity in trade; to enforce correct and high moral principles in the transaction of business; to inspire confidence in the methods and integrity of its members; to facilitate the speedy adjustment of business disputes; to acquire and to disseminate valuable commercial and economic information; and generally to secure to its members and patrons the benefits of co-operation in the furtherance of their legitimate pursuits. ' Today The Omaha Live Stock Exchange points with pride to its accomplish- ment and to the fact that no patron of the Omaha Live Stock market ever lost a dollar through the failure of one of its members.
