Dean C ke Ljoilecje of Ofrls ana Sciences FFERiNG a wide range of courses leading to bachelor degrees in arts, sciences and philosophy, the college of arts and sciences attempts to give the student a true appreciation of the seven arts. These include: the relation of the individual to God; the relation of the individual to his fellow man; the art of enjoying leisure; the art of expression; the art of reasoning; the art of the comprehension of the historical heritage of the ages, and the art of earning a living. The pre-requisite course in the college of arts and sciences is primarily creative and only secondarily instructive. The student is taught, not to memorize fact and data, but to think accurately, visualize clearly, and reason logically. During the first two years of his arts course, the student adheres closely to a prescribed program in order to a cquire credits in essential fields. In the final two years he has the opportunity to pursue more in- tensively courses of study to which he is especially inclined and for which he may have particular aptitude. He has the further privilege of extensive reading and research in chosen subjects and closer contact with persons whose interests parallel his own. Special courses in religion are offered to all Catholic students in the form of a four-year required course. The prescribed courses in religion are required only of Catholic students. Others may elect academic courses as an alternative. All candidates for a degree must earn 128 semester hours of credit and 128 hours of quality points covering a four-year course. For the second consecutive year the President ' s scholarship was placed in active use. Every male student in all schools in the state of Nebraska is eligible for this scholarship. In order to receive this the student must be recommended by the principal of his school. Another Creighton scholarship may be gained by male students during their junior and senior years. Requisites for eligibility for this scholar- ship is that the student complete his freshman and sophomore years in the college of arts and sciences. V .© II r 9 t • ♦ t t-f - ■ ' W The College of Arts and Sciences Faculty 26 1937 Edition of The Bluejay ( ke SckooL of l aw c ONCENTRATiNG all efforts upon the development of the legal mind, the Creighton university school of law is completing its thirty- third year as an active educational division of The Creighton university. Membership in the American Bar association and the Association of the American Law s chools adds to its standards. The latter is an or- ganization in which only one-third of the law schools in the United States are permitted to hold membership. Restricted enrollment insures a uniform student body and prevents unwieldiness in the size of the classes, so that the Creighton tradition of close personal relationship between students and faculty members may be maintained. The object of the courses offered is to fit the graduate for practice in any place where common law prevails, but as common law differs in vari- ous regions and states because of differences in political, economic, and social conditions, the Creighton school of law offers something more than can be had in so-called national schools. It aims at imparting specialized training for the mid-western lawyer. Moreover, another Creighton ideal — effective preparation for the bar — is thus measurably attained. Realizing that actual practice is as essential to thorough education in law as is theory gained in the classrooms from text books, valuable and practical experience in actual organization, management and conduct of cases is gained by the law student through an elaborate Moot Court system. Cases of varying nature are tried by the students with faculty members presiding as judges. The other colleges of the University offer many courses of advantage to the law student. It is re- commended that the law student acquire a thorough knowledge of at least one modern language. In the event that he lack this knowledge at the time he enters law school he may enroll in any number of modern language courses offered by the college of arts and sciences. Typing, shorthand, accounting, bookkeeping, and other courses of equal value to the lawyer may be taken in the college of commerce and the school of journalism. Louis J. TePoel Dean The School of Law Faculty 27 The Creighton University C he. SckooL of JneoicLYie T« HIRTY-THOUSAND patients are treated annually by advanced students, under faculty supervision in the clinical and out-patient of the Creighton university school of medicine. These clinical and teaching facilities are supplemented by the affilia- tion of four important hospitals, one of which ranks as the largest between Chicago and the Pacific coast. They are the Creighton Memorial St. Joseph ' s hospital, St. Catherine ' s hospital in Omaha and Mercy hospital and St. Bernard ' s hospital in Council Bluffs. The Creighton dispensary is a member of the Omaha Council of So- cial Agencies. It cooperates with the Creighton University Health service, the Visiting Nurses association, the Public School Nurses, the Omaha Or- thopedic society, the Diocesan Catholic charities, the Nebraska Tuber- culosis association and other charitable agencies of the city. Senior stu- dents also make calls at the homes of dispensary patients who are unable to come to the clinic. A library containing 7,400 volumes is maintained by the school. A large part of the collection is made up of 1,500 volumes of the late Dean Hermann von Schulte. The library at present subscribes to and preserves the files of 80 scientific periodicals. Two years of general academic work in an approved school is the pre- requisite for entrance to the medical school. A four year course is offered, leading to two possible degrees, doctor of medicine and bachelor of science in medicine. Graduate courses are also offered for research or specialization. The school is a member of the American Association of Medical colleges. Class A is the rating attributed to it by the American Medical association. Cooperating with the Pharmacy college, the medical school compounded and distributed at least 10,000 prescriptions either free of charge or at cost during the year. With the completion of the year 1937, this department of the university will have been in active existence for 45 years. Dr. Bryan M. Riley Dean The School of Medicine Faculty 28 ♦ 1937 Edition of The Bluejay C ke ( oLLecfe of (yt ommerce R. .ANKiNG first in increased enrollment for the current year, the college of commerce entered its seventeenth year as a major unit of Creighton university. The four year course, which has been proved to be more effective than the traditional and obsolete method of business apprenticeship, leading to a bachelor of science in commerce, comprises two natural divisions. The work of the freshmen and sophomore years consists largely of re- quired courses and has a two-fold purpose: to provide a broad cultural background and to furnish training in the fundamental principles of busi- ness. 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. Through the medium of a Bureau of Business Research, each student is given experience in the application of statistical methods. Faculty members, thoroughly trained in their respective fields, are re- tained by the college. It has been the aim of the college to co-ordinate the courses in order to produce a program that will be a definite aid both in living and in making a living. An extremely significant development includes a new combined com- merce-law curriculum worked out with the cooperation of the faculty of the school of law. An advance has also been taken in regard to student advisory and guidance service, resulting from special studies. A broaden- ing of the geographical scope of the placement service of the school is another of the recent innovations at the college. The evening division of the college of commerce is one of its most important features. In these classes economics and accounting courses receive special emphasis. Men and women engaged in some specialized work find these relative courses extremely profitable. An opportunity to receive practical knowledge is given the student through the location of the school in a commercial and industrial center. State and national conventions of business associations in Omaha and special lectures by business executives all combine to equip the student for later work. Dr. Floyd E.

Viner Dean C ke SckooL of JJeyiilsirij I. .N ORDER that its graduates may become skilled, versatile and successful practictioneers, the Creighton university school of dentistry has developed its dental and pre-dental curricula along every line. The key- note of the curriculum is the personal touch maintained between in- structor and student. Leadership in the profession of dentistry requires an education that will enable the practitioner to keep pace with ever-changing and ever- improving methods. This is the goal set for graduates of the Creighton school of dentistry, and its success has always been measured by their knowledge and efficiency rather than by their numbers. The degree of doctor of dental surgery is attained after a four-year course, which is preceded by two-years of pre-dental study in the college of arts and sciences. Every phase of the professional man ' s future re- quirements is adequately cared for, so that the graduate will not only be a finished technician and operator, but a cultured gentleman as well. Creighton ' s claim to dental supremacy, however, rests to a consider- able extent upon the meticulous care with which solid foundations for future professional leadership are built. The school maintains complete technical, metallurgical and microscopic laboratories, together with a large infirmary, surgical operating rooms, and X-Ray laboratories. Clinical facilities are of the finest, and as a result over 4,000 patients are treated annually by upperclassmen. Each student is equipped with the latest type of electrical op- erating units and cabinets. 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 not only from Omaha but from the sur- rounding territory of Nebraska and Iowa as well, the students are afforded a wide variety of practice in all phases of dentistry. 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. The School of Dentistry Faculty 30 1937 Edition of The Bluejay C ke Ljollecje of 1 karmacij X .HE Creighton university college of pharmacy ranks among the highest of all those holding membership in the American association of colleges of pharmacy. A four-year course, leading to the degree of bachelor of science in pharmacy and providing the opportunity to specialize in any of several related lields, places the Creighton college of pharmacy on an equal stand- ard with the few outstanding institutions of its kind in the country. It marks its graduates as men with excellent training and qualifications. The curriculum of the college of pharmacy has been prepared to give men and women such education in pharmacy as will enable them to meet the pres- ent and future demands of their profession in an able and intelligent manner. This course is offered by full-time instructors who have had years of practical experience in the retail as well as the wholesale phar- maceutical fields. Unusual and advantageous is the close cooperation maintained be- tween the college of pharmacy and the Creighton school of medicine. All prescriptions written for patients of the medical clinic are compounded in a special prescription room by pharmacy students under the direction of a faculty member who is also a registered pharmacist. In this manner thousands of prescriptions are filled each year by students, and a profes- sional relationship between future doctors and pharmacists is established which aids immeasurably in the ultimate success of both groups. The courses of study, aside from pharmacy subjects, are coordinated with those of the other de- partments of the university. This arrangement gives the students the advantage of broadening their influence resulting from close contact with teachers and students of the various departments. The standards of the American Association of colleges of pharmacy are maintained in all courses. This group is the highest accrediting agency in pharmaceutical education. Most states by law or rul- ing of the state board of pharmacy recognize only those schools which hold membership in this asso- ciation. Graduates of the Creighton college of pharmacy are admitted to the board examinations in those states requiring graduation from a college of pharmacy as a pre-requisite to these examinations. William A. Jarrett Dean The College of Pharmacy Faculty 31 The Creighton University Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S. J. Dean C ke (Jniversilii CyolL ecje Wo, OMEN Students comprise the entire full-time enrollment in the University college, one of the newest departments at Creighton uni- versity. Duties of the University college and the Graduate school are grouped under the same head and faculty because of the close relationship of the two departments. All courses which were formerly taught separate from the regular courses of the college of arts and sciences, the college of com- merce, and the school of journalism now come under the University college. The orginial purpose of the courses of the University college was to enable teachers in and near Omaha to take advantage of university in- struction while continuing their professional duties. This purpose has now been expanded to include intellectual and cultural interests of stu- dents who wish to take extra subjects in their spare time, of professional men and women who wish to complete requirements for study in profes- sional schools or merely wish to continue their cultural development. Women students are given an opportunity to obtain arts degrees through the college. There is also a large enrollment of business men and women in special late afternoon, evening, and Saturday courses. Besides the degrees offered, there are also certificates in education which can be obtained. Courses for teachers were formerly organized and administrated by the college of arts and sciences. These courses are given by regular members of the university faculty. Open to women, they carry credit for all undergraduate degrees. The purposes of these courses is to give a thorough and comprehensive training to the teachers, profes- sionals, junior-college students, and adults enrolled in the graduate courses. The University college also offers a summer session of six weeks. Courses are taught by regular members of the university faculty, assisted by a number of visiting professors. These courses are of the same quality as those taught during the regular sessions of the university and give the same credits. The session is attended by many teachers working for higher degrees. The University College Faculty 32 ♦ 1937 Edition of The Bluejay C ne SckooL of ournaLism JTrogressive activity in the field of practical journalism has marked the history of the school of journalism since its foundation in 1933. The 1937 enrollment showed a marked increase over 1936. New courses were added to the regular curricula during the past year. They included for the first semester: History and Ethics of Journalism, Publicity Methods and Magazine Feature Writing. For the second se- mester: Community Journalism or the Country Weekly. Combined with these innovations, other courses were: Introduction to Journalism; Re- porting and Correspondence; Editing and Copyreading, Principles of Ad- vertising; Sports Writing; Advanced Reporting; Critical Writing, and Editorial Writing. Better facilities were also provided for the students this year. New typewriters, and newsroom desks, arranged for convenience in the labor- atory room were installed. The school, through the medium of the faculty, took part again this year in the Journalism Round Table, attended by all instructors in jour- nalism in all Omaha and Council Bluffs high schools, colleges and univer- sities. Graduates of the school sponsored a journalism seminar that brought newspaper speakers of note before faculty members and students. Primarily, the school aims to develop and train through a combina- tion of practical work and theory — capable, broadly educated newspaper reporters and editors. Presentation of the Catholic viewpoint through the medium of the press is also one of the important aims of the school have positions reporting, editing, teaching and writing continuity for broadcasting studios. This year, in publishing The Creightonian, emphasis was placed on better newswriting, better edit- ing and better headlines. The Bluejay stressed the pictorial side of college life to a greater extent, using a candid type of photography. At the time of publication of The Bluejay, tentative plans were being laid to send a delegation from the school of journalism to take over the editing and publishing of an Iowa country weekly. This pro- gram would enable students in journalism to gain practical experience in handling newspaper work. Stuart A. Mahuran Acting Director Graduates from the school The School of Journalism Faculty 33 The Creighton University X C ke Cjraouale SckooL .HE STUDENT body of the Creighton university graduate school is composed of graduates of schools and colleges working for higher academic degrees. After receiving their first degree, they are eligible for further study and research leading to one of the master ' s degrees or the final degree of doctor of philosophy. The Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S. J., dean of university college and regent of the school of journalism, is also dean of the graduate school. He is assisted by the Rev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S. J., dean of the college of arts and sciences. A graduate council appointed by the president of the university takes charge of and supervises all work in the graduate school. The depart- ment faculty is made up of professors from all other departments of the university, all of whom are specialists in their own fields. The schedules are so arranged that graduate students are enabled to attend Creighton while they are engaged in their everyday professions. This is made pos- sible by means of late afternoon, evening, and Saturday classes. There are also many graduate classes offered during the summer session. The graduate school of Creighton university extends and enlarges the work of the undergraduate departments by giving graduates a chance to continue in advanced courses and pursue their work in specialization and research, if so desired. Each student in the Graduate school has a wide knowledge of other related fields. He is not expected to gain his knowledge and training from sources other than the laboratory and lecture room. Starting in June, 1936, a bachelor ' s degree has not been and will not be accepted unless the student has spent at least one academic year in residence at the institution which conferred the degree. In the graduate school exceptional opportunities are offered for specialization and research, designed to develop judgment, initiative, and independent thinking. Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S.

It contains accommodations for 500 patients. Five thousand dollars has just been spent in remodeling and re-equipping the entire hospital with the newest appliances — affording the student nurses ample oppor- tunity for extensive experience in various departments. Twelve new operating rooms and a specially designed X-Ray and physical therapy department occupy the top floor. New diet kitchens supply the patient with tempting and appetizing foods which the nurses prepare under the supervision of a graduate dietician. The new maternity department on the fourth floor with its spotless nurseries is one of the largest and most modern departments of its kind. The dietetic laboratory enables the student to gain experience not only in preparing appetizing dishes but also such as are prescribed by correct principles of diet. The science department has been especially designed for the teaching of nurses. Here the student is taught chemistry, physiology, bacteriology and pathology, subjects which are necessary for the proper understanding of the body whether it be healthy or diseased. Instructors in the school of nursing are members of the faculty of Creighton university. Besides the full-time staff of the school of nursing faculty, members of the other schools and colleges of the univer- sity give instruction. Members of the medical faculty compose the staff of the hospital and give the school the advantage of teachers of training and experience. The school of nursing is affiliated with the Creighton university, and constitutes a unit of its educa- tional system, offering a three-year course and a five-year course. Students are registered in the uni- versity and receive diplomas signed by the officers of both institutions. Students of the school have all the privileges of the university. Main Entrance An Operation at St. Joseph ' s Hospital 35 The Creighton University Sainl i amerines JLosmtal X ospi .wo additional wings, built since its foundation in 1910, have increased the total capacity of St. Catherine ' s hospital to 165 beds. The hospital was opened by the Sisters of Mercy, aided by the untir- ing efforts and generosity of Mrs. Catherine Nash of Omaha. In recogni- tion of her services the hospital was named St. Catherine ' s. In 1916 the first addition was made, and four years later the second unit was constructed. Each department is under the active supervision of one of the Mercy nuns who is specially trained for the work of her particular department. St. Catherine ' s is a general hospital, and is fully equipped and pre- pared for every type of illness. Initially the hospital specialized in ma- ternity cases and the care of women and children. Gradually it grew to such a size and distinctiveness that it became necessary to offer facilities for various types of hospital care. St. Catherine ' s belongs to that select group of hospitals standardized in accordance with the rates and regulations of the American College of Surgeons, and the American Medical association. These ratings are mer- ited because of the efficient services tended to the community. A three-year training course for girls interested in the vocation of nursing is offered by the hospital. Through the efforts of the late Rev. William Agnew, S. J., former president of the university, and Mother M. Leo, director of the nurses, the hospital was brought into affiliation with Creighton. A nurse may re- ceive a degree of bachelor of science after completing two years additional work. St. Catherine ' s follows one distinct policy — it is open to all, regardless of religious belief. The hospital is situated at Eighth street and Forest avenue. It commands a beautiful view of the business district on one side, and the Missouri river on the opposite side. The officers of the administration are: the Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S. J., president of the univer- sity; the Rev. John J. Mclnerny, S. J., regent of the nursing school; Sister M. John, R. S. M., super- intendent of the hospital, and Sister M. Kevin, R. S. M., assistant director of the school of nursing.

The 1936 Homecoming celebration was well attended and successful although the registration did not surpass the all-time record set the previous year. The second an- nual national convention of alumni club delegates was held in the Creighton gym- nasium. According to . J.

The purpose of the banquet as announced last year is to honor varsity and freshman athletes and coaches. Dr. Floyd Paynter was chairman of the committee in charge of the banquet. Var- sity monograms and sweaters were awarded to the athletes at the banquet. The prin- cipal speaker of the evening was Jesse Harper, former football coach and athletic director at Notre Dame university. The Xorth Central Nebraska Creighton Alumni club sponsored a banquet, dance and program of entertainment this year. All Creighton alumni in that area were in- vited and were given the privilege of bringing non-alumni as their guests. A special effort was made to include prospective Creighton students and their parents in the invitations. Guests of honor were Marchmont Schwartz, director of athletics and head football coach, the Rev. B. J. Quinn, S. J., and E. S. Hickey, head basketball coach. Motion pictures of the university buildings and of the past football season were shown. The Wichita. Kans.. club continued sponsoring the annual Apologetics contest for high school students of the Wichita diocese. Trophies were awarded the winners. Members of the Denver club also sponsored their annual dinner-dance during March. An alumni office is maintained on the first floor of the law building and a com- petent staff publishes The Creighton Alumnus, a monthly magazine which is sent to all alumni to keep them informed as to the activity of one another throughout the United States. 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. An additional service is provided by the Alumni office through its complete file, divided alphabetically, geographically and by classes, of all Alumni. It is kept up-to- date in the office and is at the disposal of any member of the association who wishes to use it in locating former classmates or stimulating Alumni activity in his community. 84 1937 Edition of The Bluejay LPuhliCity ♦ 1 iibiiclhj Jjepariment X-iVER on the alert to serve not only the university as a whole but also each school and college the publicity department at Creighton issues news stories, containing all the active and interesting elements of the week, to various daily and weekly newspapers of the surrounding states. In this manner two purposes are achieved — the public is kept well in- formed as to the activities of the school; socially, culturally, scholastically, and athletically. Then too, the university is brought before the public eye through this medium. Prospective students, therefore, may learn a great deal about the school and its activities and background. Headed by Frank E. Pellegrin, who is also assistant director of the University of the Air and chairman of the Speakers ' Bureau, the department covers a wide range of activities. Besides serving nearly two thousand newspapers, it sends out a syndicated health column by Dr. Victor E. Levine, professor of bio-chemistry and nutrition. Home-town publications of the students are kept informed of their accomplishments; sixty-nine Catholic newspapers also share in Creighton news. In addition, the CWC, official Catholic Press service, the Associated Press and the United Press are servicei] weekly by this bureau. Sports editors throughout the country receive communications before all sports events.

Every male student in the university is an active member. Presiding over the organization are a faculty moderator, a Union manager, and a Union Board of Governors. The present faculty moderator is the Rev. B. J. Quinn, S. J., who succeeded the Rev. V. J. Corboy, S. J. Members of the Board of Governors are elected by the entire 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 controlling student activities.

The Board members meet regularly every two weeks, unless important matters necessitate the calling of special meetings, 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, on the first floor of the gymnasium. Here students spend their spare time playing billiards, cards, or ping-pong. A radio and phonograph are also at their disposal. Reading rooms are open to the students from 11 o ' clock in the morning until 9 o ' clock in the evening. Reasonably priced lunches, ice-cream, and candy are sold at the clubroom store. The purpose of the rooms is to provide a general meeting place for students and clubs. It also offers an employment bureau to arrange for full or part-time employment for students. A canvass of business houses is made annually to encourage cooperation in the search for part-time work for students.

Each year a new list of rooming houses is compiled and presented to the student upon request. Thorough inspections of the rooming places are made by Union officials each year. The student directory and Creighton Handbook are two of the university publica- tions which are printed under the direction of the Students Union. The Howlers, stu- dent pep organization, is directed and sponsored by the Union and headed by the Pep Marshall, Sam Weinstein. The organization was formed to arouse and maintain school spirit in the university during 1935. The Union is operated on a non-profit sharing corporation under Nebraska 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 publications rests under a $1,000 bond. Leo J.

In addition to winning the first con- ference crown since their entrance into the Missouri Valley circuit in 1929, the Bluejays, serving their second year under Marchie Schwartz, hung up a .500 per cent average for the season, losing to such teams as Marquette, Hardin-Simmons and Detroit by slim margins. To Schwartz ' s already long list of accomplishments performed at Creigh- ton, several more were added during the 1936 football campaign. For instance, a distinct revival of school spirit was generated by the team ' s fine showing. Xe.xt, an awakening of the outside world to the fact that Creighton does exist — as shown by the Marquette game, when the Blue- jays amazed a 10,000 Homecoming crowd by outplaying Marquette ' s Golden Ava- lanche and losing in the last few minutes of play by a 7 to 6 score. Then, as a fitting conclusion to an already successful year, three Creighton men were named members of the .All-Missouri Valley team. Francis Wilcox, for two years the Jay ' s best ground gainer, was unanimously selected for a halfback post. Dick Vana. two seasons a standout in the line, was assigned to one of the guard positions.

Joe McKenna, veteran tackle from a CREIGHTON 25, SOUTH DAKOTA Sophomores were men of the hour in the season ' s opener against South Dakota university September 25 in Omaha. It was left to this band of first year men to provide offensive sparks which eventually led to 25 points for Creighton and none for the Coyotes. After a jittery first quarter, during which time the Blues suffered mild strokes of fumbelitis, the attack moved along in swifter cadence. The sophomores soon made reparation for their bad iirst quarter showing and fashioned a touchdown just before halftime. It was Johnny Piet who bombed over for the first touchdown score of the year. Paul Hartnek missed the try for point. Touchdown business was begun in earnest in the third period. Bob Golonka, Billy Ziesel and Hartnek led the way for a second score. Dick Rucki rose up in this period to block a rival punt and run 25 yards to score, but Creighton was offside on the play. Joe Navoichick smashed over a third score as the final quarter opened. Again the point after was no good. ' After Clarence Stoffel had recovered a lateral on the Jay 30, Hartnek, Golonka and Ziesel again swept into action with runs varying from 7 to 14 yards. Hartnek hammered through the en- tire South Dakota team to score from the 14-yard line. Otto Bernacchi place kicked the only extra point of the evening. 1 m ■i J 1 IH|k- t ' % 1. : tm WtittM Standouts on the Creighton line were many, but work of the sophomores surmounted all others. Bob Golonka, Zip Ziesel, Johnny Piet and Paul Hartnek carried the offensive burden. Line luminaries were many and hard to pick as the entire front ranks turned in a fighting game. Nick Padgen, George Lynch and Dick Rucki led sophomore linemen. South Dakota ' s scoring threats were confined m.ostly to the first period when the Coyotes reeled off two first downs in order. Ryan and Barton alternated in ball carrying during this uprising. Again in the final period, the losers staged a mild threat, but was halted when Berry was downed for a 10-yard loss as the game ended. CREIGHTON 12, GRINNELL Whenever Creighton meets Grinnell on the football field, the sages and dopesters are in for a bad day. And the 1936 meeting, October 10 in the Creighton stadium, was no exception. During the first quarter Schwartz kept his second stringers in the fray. The Pioneers from Iowa could not pierce the Creighton forward, but when the offense changed hands Creighton found the ruse worked both ways. The affair remained a deadlock until the Blue veterans went into action at the start of the second quarter. From then on the Jays gained at will, but seemed unable to get into pay territory. This constituted play for the most part of the second quarter. Just before halftime the Jays took to the air lanes, but Ziesel, rushed and unable to get his passes off, lost 41 yards in three plays just as the half ended. The first half saw the plucky Pioneers hold their heavier Bluejay opponents scoreless, as play see- ♦ ♦ sawed in the center of the field, with Creighton advancing in spurts and Grinnell kicking back safely. While five thousand fans sat waiting for the Creighton machine to run wild, the Blues themselves were marking time at a stand-still pace during the first half. Grinnell ' s eft ' orts were equally fruitless. But right after halftime along came Billy The Zipper Ziesel to provide the afternoon ' s first thrill. Ziesel broke through the line, shook off a couple of tacklers and out hurried his pursuers for 73 yards to the end zone where he flopped exhausted. Billy dashed cleverly and pretty much alone, depending on his elusiveness and speed, in the absence of blockers. The second counter came after some of the long awaited teamwork was displayed. Ziesel, Duke Na- voichick, and Francis Wilcox lugged the ball to the 14-yard line from where Paul Hartnek plunged to the second touchdown. Neither Dick Rucki nor Otto Bernacchi had any luck with their after touch- down kicks. Grinnell ground gaining ventures were usually nipped before they could go far and the lowans made only two first downs. The Pioneer line played stubbornly, however, with Captain William Fowler, cen- ter, Harold High, guard, and end John Hayward standouts. CREIGHTON 13, DRAKE 6 Slippery Francis Wilcox personally conducted Creighton to a 13 to 6 win over Drake ' s Bulldogs the night of October 16 at Des Moines. The Blues went into this battle decidedly the underdogs, as Drake had been good enough to ring up nearly 150 points in three previous games against Simpson, Coe and Central. , • I I •■ t ' V . ! •■? lid V - J V • ' If the Schwartzmen feared this record they gave no indication of it. Especially Game Captain Fran- cis Wilcox seemed undaunted by the Bulldog reputed scoring machine. True, Drake did snatch a 6 to lead at halftime due to the fine work of the Manders brothers and a touchdown by Bud Suter, Drake halfback. During the half Wilcox began to think. His relatives and friends from Perry, Iowa were in the stands. Also there was a delegation of some 500 loyal Creighton students and alumni and the ROTC band. So Fritz took command in the second half. Seven plays after the half, Wilcox slipped loose on an off-tackle play, wheeled back sharply and raced 53 yards to score. Dick Rucki booted the extra point to give Creighton a 7 to 6 lead. From then on it was all Creighton. Inspired by its first touchdown, the Bluejay outfit set out to get another one. Wilcox, Bill Ziesel and John Leahy gave generously their offensive efforts and soon Leahy plunged over from the three-yard line for the second score. The scoreboard read 13 to 6 when the game ended. Late in the final quarter Creighton again became touchdown minded. This time Paul Hartnek led the furious assault on the Drake goal. His 36-yard run climaxed the drive that was finally halted by the gun. All honors of the evening didn ' t go to offensive men, however. From his guard position, Freddie Rief made the first four tackles of the game while his running mate, Dick Vana, turned in a fine game at ♦ ♦ the other guard berth. Sophomore Stan (Iromnicki from an end position also p;ot in his share of the tackles. The bookies were anticipating a field day, giving odds 7 to 14 points in favor of Drake. CREIGHTOX 7. HARDIX-SIMMOXS 13 Creighton returned to its home field Octboer 24. undefeated and pitted against a team about which it knew very little, the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys from .Abilene, Texas. But it didn ' t take long for the Jays to become acquainted with Cowboy tactics. P ' ive minutes of the southerners ' razzle-dazzle play was enough to convince Schwartz and Company that the Cowboys had something. During those first five minutes, the colorful southern club seemed unbeatable. They soon cooled off. however, but just to show that they were still in the ball game, punted out on the one-yard stripe. After Creighton s return punt was short, the Cowboys razzle-dazzled to their first score with Co-Captain Pete Tyler going over. Creighton ' s defense pulled together better as the game progressed and soon the Jays took the offen- sive. Johnny Piet executed one of the most electrifying plays of the the year by passing to Francis Wil- cox who speared the ball and wriggled to the three-yard line. The entire play was good for 65 yards. Joe Navoichick pushed to the six-inch line. From here Johnny Piet crashed over. Syl Lulinski hob- bled out to place kick goal for a one point lead. The second, third and part of the fourth quarter went by. ' ictory looked apparent for Creighton, So.JOoMoicu ' rf but two bad breaks soon turned the tide. Paul Hartnek fumbled a pass from center on a fourth down punt and Hardin-Simmons recovered on the 15. The Creighton line held and a place kick was wide. Creighton fans breathed easier. But not for long. George Busch fumbled this time and the Cowboys captalized, going over in three plays. Hardin-Simmons 13. Creighton 7. Creighton passed, ran, passed some more, substituted in an attempt to recover the game — -and nearly succeeded too, but the precious seconds went by too quickly. Coach Schwartz, in a desperate effort to conserve the remaining seconds, sent in a substitute after each play, thereby halting the clock until the snap of the ball. But each substitution brought a five- yard penalty for excessive time-outs. Dub Winship and Lawrence Goeckel both were inserted in an at- temp t to salvage the game. Statistics show that Creighton outplayed its opponent in every department, except for fumbles, and the last quarter ones were costly. Hardin-Simmons team didn ' t play like nursemaids, either. The fol- lowing Monday, 13 Jays were on the injured list. Douglas Trish, veteran end, who played a bang-up game against the Cowboys, suffered injuries that were to bench him for the remainder of the season. CREIGHTON hi. WASHBURN 20 After losing a rough encounter to Hardin-Simmons, Schwartz and Company again moved out-of- town for X ' alley competition. This time they journeyed to Topeka where Washburn ' s pesky Ichabods ♦ were subdued 32 to 20, October 30. By winning, Creighton grabbed a co-championship in the Missouri Valley title scramble. It was a year ago that the Ichabods knocked off the Jays quite unexpectedly, 20 to 3, so the Blues took no chances, rolling up 20 points in the first quarter. Creighton ' s powerhouse seemed underway. But down in Kansas they have winds that blow in only one direction. This particular night it was blowing from the north, and consequently all scores were made over the south goal. Nick Padgen ' s recovery of Harry Kinter ' s fumble on Washburn ' s 12-yard line paved the way for Creighton ' s first score. Francis Wilcox, after Johnny Piet regained a 15-yard penalty, galloped 16 yards for a touchdown. Creighton with its back to the wind, romped to a 20 to lead in the first quarter with Wilcox and Johnny Leahy accounting for the tallies. During the second quarter, the teams having changed goals, Washburn demonstrated that they could take advantage of that strong Kansas wind by tying the score up at 20 all as the half ended. Fritz Wilcox made it evident that he didn ' t intend for Creighton to lose. The final quarter was seven plays old when he dashed 35 yards for his third and Creighton ' s fourth score of the evening. After Billy Ziesel had returned the next kickoff 18 yards, Wilcox again took matters in his own hands. On his pet off tackle play Fritz drilled 41 yards to Washburn ' s 14. Two plays later he slam- med over for his fourth and Creighton ' s fifth and final touchdown. Score, Creighton 11, Washburn 20. w CeMitr ' The entire Creighton team was in iighting spirit for the encounter. Nick Padgen played a bang-up game at center, and his recovery of a fumble led to the first score. Joe McKenna, outshining everyone else at tackle, blocked a Washburn punt which Stan Gromnicki recovered. This led directly to the sec- ond quick touchdown. CREIGHTON 6, MARQUETTE 7 It was during the Homecoming battle against Marquette university November 7 that the Bluejays carved themselves a place in the higher circles of football. The Golden Avalanche came to Omaha unbeaten, untied and contending for national honors. In fact, the previous week it had been given number four rating among the nation ' s best clubs, having defeated St. Mary ' s Gaels, 20 to 6. Marquette left the Hilltop stadium a different team. For two hours Marchie ' s Bluejays pushed the Avalanche all over the field. But as Howard Wolff of The World-Herald says they pay of in points, so Coach Frank Murray ' s charges escaped by the narrow margin of a 7 to 6 victory. Moral victory was Creighton ' s however, as the Bluejays, primed to the limit, all but knocked the props from Marquette ' s once brilliant Rose Bowl hopes. Most of the 10,000 Homecoming fans had expected Marquette to win by at least two or three touch- downs. But a few, close followers of the team, knew that Coach Schwartz was priming his squad for the event. TardtrL-J trnmonT The opening quarter provided little worthy of mention. But fireworks soon rattled off the sparkler early in the following period. Francis Wilcox, true to form, intercepted a pass from the arms of the famed Ray Buzz Buivid, and squirmed 30 yards for a touchdown. Sophomore Frank Jones ' kick for the point was wide, but no one seemed to mind. Creighton was in the lead, 6 to 0. Play waged back and forth for the rest of the half, as the Creighton line outcharged its opponents to rush the Marquette aces on their famous pass plays. When Buivid wasn ' t rushed on his passes, the Creighton secondary was on the alert to intercept or break up the throws. During the third quarter Creighton continued its fighting game. Time and time again the Jay line repulsed Marquette ' power attack, and Coach Frank Murray ' s boys were forced to the air. Early in the final stanza Art Guepe gathered in one of John Piet ' s kicks, and sprinted 55 yards to score, but Marquette was off side on the play. Guepe repeated his act again, however, on a 75-yard return later in the period. Ward Cuff place kicked the precious extra point. Creighton fans were disheartened by Marquette ' s only scoring threat of the day, which was strong enough to score seven points over Creighton ' s six. CREIGHTON 6, ST. LOUIS 20 Once during a season, the average football team suffers a let-down. Creighton ' s occurred in its game against St. Louis university November 14 in St. Louis. Slightly overconfident by great play in the Mar- quette game, which hauled the Golden Avalanche ' s national rating from fourth to eighth, the Bluejays «x UOUftL €n.tC ♦ marched into battle confident of victory, despite the timely warnings of Scout Bull Polisky who said St. Louis has a much better team than it is given credit for. Warnings of a powerful Billiken attack were soon found to be true, as it didn ' t take long for the St. Louis power to get under way. The winners ran up two quick touchdowns before Creighton realized the game was in progress. Just to make things go from bad to worse a thick, pea-soup fog hung over the field at St. Louis, and the Jays were not quite certain as to their whereabouts. The Billikens, very much at home under these conditions, were quick to use this to advantage, opening up with a razzle-dazzle brand of football, which became so popular during the past season. Two St. Louis passes, executed quite mysteriously to the Jays, were instrumental in the first two scores. The first pass resulted directly in a score, while the second thrust the ball into pay territory. The final Billiken tally came after a drive of straight football, climaxed by a reverse inside tackle. Creighton ' s one touchdown play, however, was worth at least two St. Louis ' scores. It came after what might be termed a dizzy piece of football. After the Blue charges had advanced within scoring distance, the play came. Bill Ziesel heaved a short pass over the line to Stan Gromnicki, who lateralled to Paul Hartnek, who in turn lateralled to Roy Engelbretson, who scored standing up. The entire play was pulled off in such impromptu fashion that no fan could really figure it out. Creighton outplayed the Billikens in every department, making first downs and gaining more yards on the ground and in the air. After St. Louis had uncorked its razzle-dazzle play for two touchdowns, the game thereafter was played on even terms, with each team scoring once, but the St. Louis margin still read. 20 to 7. CREIGHTOX 0, DETROIT 6 Coach Gus Dorais and his Detroit university Titians were guests of the Bluejays in the Thanks- giving day finale. The Titians came to Omaha heralded as a great passing team. And they weren ' t the club to disap- point. Their first five passes of the game were good for 65 yards, and one of them placed the ball on the six-yard line, enabling Payne to score the only touchdown of the day. From then on, the offensive efforts of both teams were confined mostly to mid-field. After Detroit made its only touchdown venture of the game, Creighton ' s defense was soon to collect itself, remaining impenetrable during the remaining three quarters. However, the Titians grasped the same idea, and Creighton made little progress either on the ground or through the air. As a matter of fact, the Bluejays were on the defense most of the day. Detroit ' s line was easily the best to oppose the Jays all season, with such stars as Bud Cooper making things plenty tough from stem to stern. Except for Detroit ' s offensive outburst in the early stages of the game, little happened which would cause the 5,000 spectators to become aroused. as kethall JZLdgar S.

Sophomore Roman Roh scored 130 points to take a runner-up position behind Shaw, and to also break Engel- bretson ' s record. 3. Creighton equalled the all-time high scoring mark for a single game by trampling Washington, 79 to 46. The record was set by a Creighton team in 1932, against Drake. 4. In the finale against Washington Roh scored 26 points to tie the season ' s in- dividual scoring record for one game. 5. Shaw was placed on the All- Valley team at a forward post. Roh and Capt. Donald Mclver won second team berths. After the final game with Washburn, Roh was elected captain for the 1937-38 season, which will find seven experienced men returning. Captain-Elect Roman Roh, Charley Klem, Sammy Beem, Dick Shaw, Roy Engel- bretson, Bus Monteen and Bill Ziesel will be available next season.

Coach Hickey started Captain Donald Mclver and George Busch at guards, Roman Roh at center, and Gerald Monteen and Charley Klem at forwards, but before the gun had inserted several sophomores in the lineup. Roh was high for the evening with 11 points. While everyone else was enjoying the Christmas holidays, Hickey and company were battling Big Ten opponents. Ohio State was the first, and whipped the jittery Jays, 35-28. Roh again topped the Blue offense with 10 points, while Busch and Mclver bore the defensive burden. In the season ' s third game against Minnesota, it became even more apparent that sophomores would set the pace. When the starting lineup failed to work against the smoother Gophers, it was not until sophomores went in that the attack was geared up. Roh and Dick Shaw tied for scoring honors with 7 points apiece, while George Busch played his usual dependable game at guard. After two defeats at the hands of Big Ten opponents. Coach Hickey proceeded to experiment with the starting lineup. Handy Man George Busch found himself at a forward post, teaming up with diminutive Dick Shaw. Another sophomore, Sammy Beem, was placed with Mclver in the back court, while Roh kept his center job. The new combination seemed a winner as Iowa State was conquered, 33 to 28. Busch scored nine points. Creighton inaugurated its foreign playing with a 44-33 conquest of Washington university. Cap- tain Whitey Mclver found his long missing basket eye, and dropped in five buckets. Shaw rammed in four to prove that he deserved a place in the starting lineup. Lexington, Kentucky was the next stop for Hickey and his cagers, and it was a disastrous one. After holding the fast Kentucky crew on almost even terms during the first half, the Omahans fell down on the job, and in doing so suffered their worst defeat of the season, 59 to 36. After leading the greater part of the game, the Bluejays again suffered defeat this time from the University of Tennessee, 34 to 28. The Creighton attack was functioning all right until the final min- utes of play when Beem, Mclver and Roh went out on fouls. The first of Dick Shaw ' s dazzling feats came in the Grinnell game, as the Bluejays returned home to win, 51 to 28. Shaw counted 23 points during the evening in pacing Creighton to a one-sided vic- Engelbretson, Guard Klem, Guard ♦ MoNTEEN, Forward Ron, Center tory over its old rivals from Iowa. The Pioneers put up a strong battle, but were subdued by Shaw ' s 23 counters. Creighton ' s second road trip into the south was no more successful than the first. The Jays dropped in on the conference-leading Oklahoma Aggies, and suffered a 45-27 setback from Hank Iba ' s lads with the revolving offense. Tulsa ' s highly reputable club had to score late in defeating Creighton the following night, 42-39. Dick Shaw, held to a pair of free throws in the Aggie fray, banged in 14 points for high man. Roh scored 11 before leaving the game on fouls. After a two weeks ' vacation which found the Jays in semester exams and retreat, Creighton returned with some of its scoring power to top St. Louis university 53 to 26. Every Bluejay on the squad was seen in action, as Mclver, Shaw and Roh divided the scoring honors among them with 12 points apiece. Drake ' s one-point conquest of Creighton, 43-42,was one of the most exciting games of the season. Bus Monteen was cast in the hero role by scoring three consecutive baskets in the last two minutes, tieing up the game, and throwing it into an overtime affair. Had Creighton ' s 23-19 win over the Aggies been its only victory of the season, Bluejay followers would have been satisfied. Coach Rickey ' s lads were in their best form of the season. Leg-weary Doug Trish, playing his first game of the season, scored 9 points before the injured member gave way again. Tulsa ' s ineligibility-ridden team was no opposition for the Blues in their next encounter. Paced by Dick Shaw, who scored 17 points, Rickey s men registered a 54-26 win over their southern visitors. Every player on the squad was sent into the fray, and only Charley Klem failed to score. With Dick Shaw hitting for 17 points, Creighton swamped Washburn college at Topeka, 45-31. As Shaw contributed with his sharp angle shots, the Blue attack went ahead 18-10 at half time. Washburn ' s last minute threat was halted when George Busch, Roman Roh, Captain Don Mclver and Bus Monteen contributed goals. Roman Roh and George Busch took charge in the next game to lead the way for a 34-28 Creighton victory over Drake. The widely publicized scoring battle between Dick Shaw and Red Orebaugh, lead- ing valley scorers, failed to materialize.

Creighton ' s annual cage game with Marquette was played at Milwaukee this year, with the Golden Avalanche surprising the Jays, 44-31. Dick Shaw again led the Omahans by crashing in 14 points. Records of all kinds were set when Creighton pounded Washington university into submission, 79-46. Never has there been such a basket assault as the Bluejays unleashed that night. 125 points, the combined efforts of both teams for the evening, established a new record for points in one fray. Dick Shaw and Roman Roh were the Jay pace setters. Shaw peppered in 21 points, while his sopho- more pal Roh netted 24. More records were made in the season finale against Washburn. Dick Shaw passed Emil Box Engelbretson ' s old scoring record of 129 points, as did Roman Roh. Shaw needed only 7, but Roh was 26 shy the mark before game time. But, believe it or not, he scored those 26 markers. Shaw collected 10 so both he and Roh were possessors of new conference scoring records. Dick ended up with 133 points, Roh 130. N iinor Sports freshman JjaskewaLL iVs has been the custom for several years, or since J. . Duce Belford began coaching them, the Creighton freshmen again boasted a powerful basketball team. With seven wins out of eight games played as their record, the Frosh breezed impressively through every opponent, except the Alumni Im- mortals. The former stars proved they were still up on basketball knowledge by turning in a 56-51 victory over this year ' s crop of year- lings, March 3. The Orioles, composed mostly of varsity gridders, and leaders in the intramural league, came close to turning the trick again, but were nosed out, 40-36. Against Bellevue ' ocational school Belford ' s men counted 84 points for the biggest score of the season. Standouts for the Frosh this season were Captain Asa Kelley, Marshall Kittleson, Don Barnes, Bob Koberg and Concetto Kayo ' Robino. Of these, team followers believe that Kittleson, a speedy, dead-eye forward, and Barnes, a husky guard, seem most likely to occupy varsity posts when next season opens. In their eight games, the Frosh counted a total of 473 points to 268 for the op- position, averaging over 52 points per contest.

V. Duse Belford supervising. Assisted by Nick Popa, managing edi- tor of The Creightonian, Grant Burden, sports editor of The Creightonian and Jack Pederson, Belford organized three leagues, the interclass. fraternity and football league. Teams entered in the open league were the Orioles, Law club. Junior Medics. Pharmacy, Dentistry, Dowling (defend- ing champions). Apexes, and the Press club. Head Coach Marchmont Schwartz was instrumental in organizing the football league. Teams entered in this loop were composed of football players, who were given an opportunity to keep in condition during the winter months. Entrants in the football league were the Yankees, Cubs, Giants, Pirates, Tigers and the Indians. An effort was made to balance the teams as evenly as possible in order to create interest among the league personnel. The fraternity league consisted of the following teams: Phi Chi, Phi Rho Sigma, Phalanx, Delta Sigma Pi, Delta Theta Phi and Phi Epsilon, defending champions of the loop. Captains for teams in the football league were George Lynch, Yankees; Stan Gromnicki, Cubs; Johnny Piet, Giants; Dub Winship, Pirates; Frank Jones, Timers; and Fred Borak, Indians. J. V. Belford Director Nick Popa Grant Birdex Assistant Intramural Directors J.ACK Pederson 117 The Creighton University Orioles: Lulinski, Wilcox, Corcoran, Pietraszewski, Stoffel, Wiswall. A new feature introduced this year was Sunday games. Three games were scheduled every Sunday during the regular intermural season, and, as Director Belford had hoped, met with student approval. Rules for this season ' s play were the same as previous years, with one exception. Teams were allowed to have one player from the freshman squad if they wished. How- ever, no team was allowed to use varsity basketball men. Teams were not allowed to use as players non-members of the university. If a player wished to participate in two different leagues, it was sanctioned. But no one was allowed to play with two teams in the same league. Teams forfeited games if they did not appear on the floor within thirty minutes of the scheduled time. As play progressed past the first round, interest became intense in all three loops. The Orioles, composed mostly of varsity caliber players, were soon to prove their supremacy in the open league as they breezed through their schedule undefeated. Tom Golden ' s Apexes came nearest to toppling the Orioles, losing only by a 14-13 margin. The losers scored more baskets but lost the fray on free throws. Phi Chi: Shebl, Rossi, Shima, Cosgrove, Ball, Sutley, Binder, Bolton. 118 1Q37 Edition of The Bluejay Press Club: Lee, Burden, Gauthier, Popa, Pai e, Lusienski, Ostdiek. While Francis Wilcox and Jim Wiswall were keeping the Orioles on top of the open league, three other teams were battling hard for second position, with the Apexes, Dowling and the Press club matching their strengths. The journalists clung to the position until defeated 27-25 by Golden ' s club. This threw both clubs into a tie. Dowl- ing hall scored late victories to finish next in the open league. Wareham hall finished next, followed in orded by the Kansas club, Pharmacy, Law club, Dentistry and Junior Medics. At tournament time not all the games had been played in the fraternity league. Because of a quarantine earlier in the year, the Phi Chi team had not been able to play all its schedule games. However, the medicine men were leading the loop with five wins and no defeats. Phi Epsilon and Gamma Eta Gamma were close behind with a single stinging apiece. Delta Theta Phi was next, followed by Phalanx, Phi Rho, Delta Sigma Pi and Alpha Chi Kappa. Games remaining in fraternity league pitted Phi Chi against Phi Epsilon and Gamma Eta Gamma. Gamma Eta Gamma: Manasil, Mauro, Romberg, Stanosheck, Reynolds. 119 The Creighton University ♦ Apexes: Ekiund. Ahlquist, Golden, Lustman, Zents The Cubs, undefeated in the football leaj ue, were named winners, followed by the Gaints. IMrates. Indians, Yankees and Tigers. By the second week in April, practically every team had completed its schedule, and top notch clubs in each league were selected for the annual intermural playoff to decide the championship. In the open league teams selected were the Orioles, Apexes, Dowling hall and the Press club. The Orioles finished on top of this loop with nine victories against no de- feats. The Apexes and the Press club each suffered two defeats, and Dowling hall three. From the fraternity league Phi Chi, Gamma Eta Gamma and Delta Theta Phi were selected. Phi Epsilon, in second place in this league, was not entered for the personnel of this team is the same as that of the Press club. As the eight teams were paired off for the elimination tournament, the Orioles drew Delta Theta Phi. The Apexes were to match baskets with Gamma Eta Gamma. Phi Chi and Dowling hall, last year ' s champs, were opponents, and the two remaining teams, the Press club and the Cubs, were booked against each other.

Six victories were recorded in the first 10 meets, while the other five were yet on schedule when The Bluejay went to press. With Major Wilfred R. Higgins supervising, approximately 75 candidates turned out for the team. The number was diminished at intervals until 15 outstanding men were named on the squad proper. Robert Johnson captained the team until leaving school at the semester. Eugene Clark carried on from there, being named by Major Hardin C. Sweeney, professor of Military Science and Tactics. Other squad members included Ellsworth Griffin, William O ' Neill, Millard Beeson, Henry Fitzgibbon, John Leahy, Kenneth Rayhorn, Warren Schrempp. Dick Cook, Edward Slavik, Gordon Saffer, Joseph Eraser, Jack Stahn, Warren Hughes and Martin Harris. Iowa State college defeated Major Higgins ' men in their first meet, 1428 to 1418. The Omaha All-Stars were conquered in the second match of the season, 895 to 888. In the inter-squad match, the Reds, captained by Robert Johnson, walked away with first honors, defeating the Whites, captained by William O ' Xeill, 2364 to 2178. The Nebraska Bell Telephone Company squad appeared on the Creighton range, only to lose 882 to 869. The Bluejay s snagged two victories out of three matches with Central High school, taking the grudge battle, 895 to 869. Wilfred R.

When The Blurjay went to press, only a few minor sports results were available. In the billiard tournament staged early in the year, Robert Prentiss, journalism junior, defeated Frank .Ahlquist, commerce senior. 100 to 9, . This year marked the tirst annual intermural swimming meet. The event met with unusual success and entries were larger than expected. Events were 75 yard medley relay. 100 yard free style, 50 yard breast stroke. 50 yard back stroke, 100 yard relay, 50 yard free style and diving. All events were in the university swimming pool. Hob Ciarrett, a former West Point student, here for special work, was the indi- vidual star of the meet, winning both the 50 and 100-yard free styles. Francis Corri- gan, former Technical High school star, also copped two firsts, winning the 50-yard breast stroke and the 50-yar(l back stroke. Outshining the divers of the meet was little trouble for Jim Gaume. Piling up a grand total of 60.3 points Jim easily captured the Hilltop diving title. In Iowa last year he was the winner of the Little Eight diving championship, and was classed as one of the best divers in the Corn state. Three swimmers combined their efforts to win the 75-yard medley relay. The team composed of Jack Stahn, Francis Corrigan and Bob Garret had little trouble in over- coming any opposition. Their time was 46.6 seconds. Deadline for entries in all other intermural sports was set for the second week in April. At that time eight contestants had filed entries for the golf tournament. They were Alfred Mortimore, Bob IVIorrissey, Jim Conway, Paul Gauthier, Bob Golonka, Willis Lee, Sam Morgan and Leo Zents. However, if more entries were received for the golf tournament, contestants would be allowed to play.

To make this possible, by presenting a resume of the major activities of the year, the staff of The 1937 Blue jay dedi- cated itself. Beginning with the assumption that the use of a theme in yearbook had gone the way of the cigar store Indian, the staff has attempted to present both activities and personalities that go to make up a complete school year as natural as possible. To this end the candid camera was emplo ed wherever possible. The deans of the different departments and the coaches were portrayed in their actual roles. The athletic section was enlarged to admit individual pictures of the players on both the football and basketball teams. The pictures were taken in actual uniform and imposed on a natural background with the hope that they would convey in a more concrete way that which they seek to present. Because in using a color process to print the views and snapshot sections of an annual, much of its naturalness is lost, in those sections of The Bluejay appear in black and white. Through the use of the Infra-red ray film an unusal yet natural effect was gained in picturing the campus buildings. Feeling that pictures and not copy are of the most importance in an annual the staff devoted much time to condensing the copy and presenting larger and more nu- merous pictures. In the administration section the space allotted each of the depart- JtKK.MIAH GiLI. Editor The Bluejay St. ff at Work 124 ♦ 1937 Edition of The Bluejay ments was cut in half. Through the use of pic- tures at both the bottom and top of the pages in the football section less copy was necessary. In all other sections of the book the staff worked toward a reduction of the printed matter. Student activity being an important item in an annual, an attempt was made to raise the importance of the class presidents by giving them a separate section in the book. Xot wish- ing to overlook the fact that faculty enterprise is also important the staff worked out a new sec- tion for the Speakers Bureau, an activity of the members of the university faculty. The color scheme of blue and silver used on the cover, the main division pages and the sub- division pages and as a border throughout the book served to tie up the different sections. The silhouettes on the division pages also served as a motif both to tie up the sections of the book and to portray the activity presented in the section they surmount. In the snapshot section an attempt was made to follow a more chronological order in the arrangement of the pictures. Much work and many hours were expended by the staff in completing the annual so the students and faculty might enjoy an hour or two of pleasant retrospect years hence.

Fri KKiNc, the necessary labor- atory work tor students in the school of jour- nalism, The Crcightonian, official weekly publication of the university, reflects, throuj h- out the school year, student opinion and activi- ties on every part of the campus. Through this medium, students are trained to assume and successfully carry out positions as editors, copy- readers, proofreaders, and reporters. In its fourth year as an activity of the jour- nalism school, The Crcightonian has attempted to efficiently employ the system used by most metropolitan newspapers. The city editor sits in the slot of the universal desk, reading stories and handing them to the copyreaders and re- write men for editing and recasting. This sys- tem, used for the past two years, brought speed to the mechanics of the city desk in its first stage. Make-up of all pages continued to be conservative with an effiort made to keep its appearance from becoming standardized. The active working staff of The Creightonian is composed of members of the fresh- man, sophomore, and junior classes. Students holding editorial positions were chosen from sophomore and junior departments while the reportorial staff was made up of freshmen and sophomores. Publication of special competitive issues saw keen rivalry between opposing staffs. Freshmen and sophomore staffs were named to edit issues of The Creightonian on two successive weeks during the first semester. It was the second annual Frosh-Soph contest.

Men wrote and edited society copy, and women tried their skill at ' ' batting out sports copy. Judges awarded the decision in this bout to the all-men staff, whose managing editor was Jim Keogh. Charlotte Anderson acted as managing editor of the wom- en ' s staff. In all competition, decisions were based on accuracy, make-up, speed, news coverage and headline writing. Judges for the first contest were: Stuart A. Mahuran, acting director of the school of journalism; Joseph P. Murphy, in- structor in journalism; and Teresa Peter, jour- nalism senior. Frank E.

It is edited and published by the students of the university and affiliated schools. The magazine is made up of essays, stories, playlets, sketches, poetry, editorials and general comments. The editors gain a working knowl- edge of editing and making-up a magazine besides obtaining experience in writing. The purpose of the magazine is to interest and en- courage Creighton students in the production of literary work. Selected on the basis of capability and willingness, the staff is composed of a board of six editors. They are known as associate editors who suggest topics to prospective contributors and aid students in preparing copy. Four issues of the magazine are published each year under the direction of the board of editors and the Rev. Leo Mullany, S. J., head of the English department who acts as moderator. The students from all departments contribute manuscripts on a wide variety of subjects. The board of editors for this year included; Robert Garvey, Jerry Gill, Faye Gold- ware, Gertrude Martin, Robert Hays, and Joan Finley. Contributors were: Gertrude Martin, Dale J.

It is printed monthly from October to June. More than doubling its size in the last ten years, the Alumnus is put out regularly as a 16-page edition. However, on special occasions it appears with as many as 24 pages. Nine printed issues are sent free of charge to all graduates and former students whose classes have been graduated. The expense of the publication is borne by the general alumni fund, maintained by the yearly Alumni Loyalty Fund drive. Through the columns of the magazine the promotion of the Creighton Alumni Loyalty Fund drive is carried on. The magazine also serves as a medium to sponsor other alumni projects as the alumni homecoming, student loan funds, drives for scholarships and the annual football ticket campaign. The magazine is an important medium in the organization of the Creighton Alumni clubs throughout the country. The magazine also aids in launching and promoting nation-wide alumni promotions and projects. The underlying purpose of The Alumnus is to disseminate alumni news among Creighton 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 whereby they are located. Articles covering progress in such fields of general interest carried on by the uni- versity in its various schools and colleges are reported in the columns of the magazine. A message from the president is run monthly, along with athletic forecasts and results. Various features such as Alumnitems, and With the Clubs bring out its funda- mental purpose of uniting the Alumni into one cooperating organization. The Alumni Hall of Fame is printed now 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.

Murphy Associate Editor 129 The Creighton University ( rie Ofa-Jjureau A. xiGNiNG itself with the progressive poHcy of the school of journalism, the Creighton University Advertising bureau was established in the fall of 1936. The bureau was organized under the direction of Joseph P. Murphy, business manager of the school and Stanley Rychly, student manager. The bureau was formulated in order to place The Creightonian and The Bluejay on a high plane among college publications in regard to advertising policy, and to build the publications to a point where their advertising space will be of real value to the collegiate advertiser. It has endeavored to give real service to advertising by helping to conduct surveys among Creighton students and among local Omaha merchants. The bureau realizes that selling advertising space or lineage is only the beginning of relations with the advertiser; that in order to keep the publications before the eye of the prospective advertiser, the college market must be sold to advertisers on its merits. During the current year with national advertising revenue cut by 60 per cent due to a new policy among Jesuit schools which eliminates the Collegiate Digest and other advertising, the purpose of the bureau has been to set The Creightonian and The Bluejay on a sound financial basis. As student publication fees make up for about one-fifth of the expense incurred by publication throughout the year, enough adver- tising must be sold to take care of the deficit. As the size and content of The Creightonian in this way depends largely upon the amount of advertising sold, it rests upon the bureau to sell enough paid advertising space to offset the expenses of printing and editors salaries and still keep the publica- tion sound financially. By enlarging its staff of solicitors next fall and by means of increased advertising lineage, the bureau plans to produce larger and better publications. The bureau also serves as a workshop for students whose primary interest is ad- vertising. By actual experience, the student learns the advertiser ' s point of view through solicitations, printing, layout, makeup, campaign work, advertising research and other angles of advertising.

Each student was assigned to a certain day of the week, and was thus enabled to obtain valuable train- ing in the broadcasting field. The staff, headed by Nick Newberry, was composed of John Kerrigan, Regina McDermott, William O ' Neill, Don O ' Brien and Pat Lynch. The main purpose and aim of the group is to offer cult ural advantages by daily lectures of men who are qualified to speak on the many subjects that contribute to the forming of a liberal education.

By 1923, a dramatic organization known as the Mask and Wig club had been affected. This club evolved finally into the Creighton Players and the Little Theatre. The Creighton Players are a very formal and flexible group. Membership can be won in only one way; any registered student whose name has appeared in any capacity whatsoever on a Creighton play program is a Creighton player. There is no formal organization. When a play is to be cast, public tryouts are an- nounced, and all characters are chosen from those who appear for the tryout, regardless of the superiority of absent talent. Also, insofar as it is practicable, no player is cast twice in the same season. All this makes for democracy. In September, 1934, the Players announced the Creighton Little Theatre, with the purpose of developing creative talent in all dramatic departments. .A play contest led to the successful production of The Pride of the Madigans, a three-act comedy, by Thomas Leddy. In 1932, the first Bluejay Revue was presented at Central High school, Milton Rieck directing. The Bluejay Revue of 1936, with its cast of 60, directed and staged by Mr. Rieck May 17, 18, and 19 in Creighton ' s auditorium, was successful in that it influenced the Creighton players to adopt a new policy: that of concentrating its best Rkv, Lt)T IS F.

The cast ran, Ruth O ' Keefe as The Patsy, Eileen O ' Brien as Grace, John Slaboch and Patricia O ' Connor as Mr. and Mrs. Harrington; Jack Williams as Tony Anderson, Nick Newberry as Bill Cald- well, Bernice Scott as Sadie Buchanan, Charles Preston as Francis Patrick O ' Flaherty, and Seb- astian Campagna as Trip Busty, taxi-driver. A stronger or better balanced cast has hardly been known in the annals of the Players. Lawrence Krell, one-time member of the Players, and star of numerous Omaha Com- munity Playhouse productions, directed the play. The Rev. Louis F. Doyle, S. J., was moderator. Other members of the produc- tion staff were: manager, Richard Moran; stage manager, Fred Griffin with assistant, Dick Coughlin, properties, Marador Cropper. The infectious personality of Ruth O ' Keefe as the well-meaning but ill-starred, yet not so dumb. Patsy will long be remembered by followers of the Creighton Little Theatre for highly intelligent acting. Eileen O ' Brien, a newcomer from Duchesne college, elicited, as the beautiful, stormy Grace, the tribute seldom heard in the theatre today, hisses of admiration. Slaboch and Pat O ' Connor, as the warring parents, gave splendid support. Jack Williams, who, as Tony, rashly undertakes to teach the Patsy how to win her mysterious man (Tony, of course), was very convincing. Nick Newberry handled his first role smoothly. The bits were done with finish and finesse by Bernice Scott, Preston, and Campagna.

But, judging from the great number of aspir- ants who answered the first two calls, and the array of talent, especially new talent, the Re- vue will equal or top last year ' s. Well over two hundred students from all departments res- ponded to the first two meetings. Among past favorites who may be expected again are: Ruth O ' Keefe, John Slaboch, Teresa Peter, Ray Bur- roughs, Joe Monteleone, Bill O ' Neill, the two piano-playing Hoffmans, Oakley Gibbs, and a host of others. This will complete a season which, for en- thusiasm and achievement, has seldom been equalled in the varied history of the Players. The list of past directors runs: Charles Costello, Fred Morrow, Mrs. Anita Mae Marsh, the Rev. Joseph Herbers, S. J., Milton Rieck, the Rev. Louis F. Doyle, S. J. At present Lawrence Krell directs stage plays; Milton Reick, musical plays, and Richard Moran serves as student manager. In 1929, the Players entered the Northwestern University Theatre tournament with Lord Dunsany ' s, A Night at an Inn. They were awarded first prizes for the best- directed-play, and for the best-acted-play; the medal for the best individual perform- ance went to a Butler university player with Paul Shaughnessy of Creighton placing second. In 1930, Creighton ' s entry in the tournament was Box and Cox, in which Damian Flynn, now a Broadway and Hollywood player, won the best-individual-per- formance award.

It had been through his efforts that Creighton became a member of the Missouri X ' alley Forensic league and obtained a Chapter of Delta Sigma Rho. National Honor- ary Debating fraternit -. On the death of Father Finan, the coaching and direction of debate were placed in the hands of Charles F. Bongardt, professor of law, who assumed his duties early in 1937. The squad at the time consisted of John Kerrigan, Robert Henatsch, Leonard Leon, Gail Burke, John Hedrick, debate captain, and Ray Xelson, manager. When Professor Bongardt assumed direction of the squad, intensive work was begun to prepare for the tournaments that Father Finan had planned to have the debaters enter, as well as for a number of intercollegiate contests subsequently ar- ranged. Faced with a difficult schedule and with a disturbingly short time to prepare for it, the squad nevertheless acquitted itself creditably under Professor Bongardt. De- bating the Minimum Wage question, a negative team composed of Kerrigan and Xelson lost its first debate by a very close audience decision to Marquette university, and history repeated itself a few days later when Leon and Henantsch were nosed ClIAKI KS F.

Shortly thereafter. Nelson, Kerrigan, Leon and Henatsch appeared in their first tournament at Iowa City, where Leon and Henatsch gained decisions over Den- ver and South Dakota, and Kerrigan and Nel- son won their match with the University of Chicago. On March 19 and 20, again debating the Minimum Wage question, an affirmative team composed of Burke and Hedrick electri- fied their following by winning first place in the Delta Sigma Rho National Forensic tourna- ment at Madison, Wis., winning every debate in which they were entered including those with Wisconsin, Marquette, and Wayne. In the same tournament, Kerrigan and Henatsch, debating the negative of the question, won their match with Albion. March 26 and 27, the squad was entered in the Missouri ' alley Forensic League tournament in St. Louis. This time it was the negative ' s turn to triumph. Kerrigan and Henatsch. debating the negative of the Consumer ' s Co-operative question, won second place in the tournament, registering victories over the L ' niversity of Texas (which had won at Iowa City), the University of Oklahoma (the only match lost by Oklahoma in the tournament) and the University of Colorado.

The results of the season ' s work shows that the squad engaged in 30 decision debates and one non-decision against the strongest compe- tition in the Middle West. The net score was 14 won, 16 lost. At the time of publication of The Bluejay, tentative plans were being made for the intra- mural debate tournament to include 16 teams. Intramural debating during this season was as heretofore under the auspices of the Creighton Debating society, of which Edward J. Kilmurry was president; Robert E. Walker, vice presi- dent; Harold R.

The Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S. J., president of the university, first met the need of talks to be given to the public by organizing the Creighton University Symposium on Government in 1934. Under this arrangement, talks were given every Sunday from 4 to 5 p. m. in the Law building. The slogan of the enterprise was ' ' The Need of the Nation Is an En- lightened Electorate. The philosophy of government, the constitution, economics, social welfare, agriculture, food and drug regulation, labor and other timely subjects were given and discussed in general. However, this procedure showed the need for further development of the idea, and consequently the formal organization of the Speakers bureau resulted. The men L. K. Cusak J. A. Vaverka F. E. Walsh L.

Gerald to speak were selected by President Mahan and an outline of their respective speeches was published and sent to every type of organization in Omaha and Council Bluffs and other cities within a radius of 100 miles. On the first page of the published program a foreword written by President Mahan extends a cordial invitation and expresses the aims and ideals of the organization. It reads as follows: For more than a half a century it has been the aim of Creighton university to be of the utmost service to the people of Omaha and the Middlewest. This ' Creighton Ideal ' can be further advanced by the Creighton University Speakers bureau, the members of which have been selected from the faculties of our various schools and colleges. All of them are men of proven ability; all have done extensive and exhaus- tive study in their fields; all of them, I believe, have messages of importance and in- terest to our fellow midwesterners. Please feel free to call upon them as often as you wish. Unless they are put to unusual expense for travel, there will be no charge what- ever for this service. 143 The Creighton University S. A.

Puis Brief biographical data on each speaker is listed in the program for the convenience of the presiding officer who will introduce the speaker. Pictures or newspaper or maga- zine cuts of the speakers, may be secured free of charge from the office of the Speakers bureau. All lectures are already prepared, and may be given upon short notice. In addition, special lectures on almost any topic will be prepared by any member of the bureau on request. Hundreds of speeches have been given to every type of audience. An estimate showed that 200,000 persons have heard the speakers. Members of the bureau have traveled as far as Denver, Colo, to give talks. Dates for speakers have been reserved as far as seven months in advance. During the past year, it can readily be said that hardly a day went by that a speaker from the Speakers bureau did not give a speech. Besides speaking to every type of organization the members have been called upon to speak at conventions, churches, colleges and synagogues. ♦ 144 1937 Edition of The Bluejay Q pirituai JLife X .0 MAINTAIN the Standards of a Catholic seat of learning, the curriculum of Creighton university plans to educate the entire man, because the university 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- Catholics, there are student organizations and planned activities for the promotion of spiritual life. The Creighton Sodality of Our Lady is the center of these activities and organizations. The sodality is under the aegis of the Immacu- late Conception 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. It further aims to develop 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 fundamentals of Catholic action. The University Sodality comprises all the sodalities established in each of the uni- versity 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 Charles E. Hermanek assisted by Walter Smith Rev. Francis Dec.lman, S.J. Spiritual Counsellor Charles Hermanek Warren Ritchie Stanley Smazal 146 ♦ 1937 Edition of The Bluejay and Teresa Peter. 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 sodaHty governed by a board of student officers. The board includes a prefect with two assistants, a secretary and a treasurer together with a group of consultors under the direction of the student counsellor. Prefects for the year in the various depart- ments were Charles Hermanek, college of arts and sciences; Warren Ritchie, college of com- merce; Jeremiah Gill, school of journalism; Clement Farrell, school of dentistry; Kenneth Dellameter, school of law; Stanley Smazal, school of medicine; Leonard Schenk, college of pharmacy, and Teresa Peter, university college. Regular activities of the Catholic students of the university includes the sodality Mass each Friday morning in St. John ' s church for the undergarduate departments with devotions in honor of the Blessed Mother of God and an address by the Director; the special sodality Sunday mass at 9 o ' clock for each of the departments, and on each First Friday there is a general communion for all sodalists. The Sodality council of each undergraduate department meets weekly to promote the spiritual interest of its individual contingent. Conferences are held with the officers of the professional school sodalities for the same purpose. The executive board of the sodality union meets to promote the spiritual interests of its individual contingent. Conferences are held with the officers of the professional school sodalities for the same purpose. The executive board of the Sodality union met to outline a program of union efforts in Catholic Action. Rev. Joseph A. Hekbeks, S.J. Department Head Leonard ScHEXK Kenneth Dallamater Clement Farrell Jerry Gill 147 The Creighton University One hundred twenty-one new members were enrolled in the sodality, December 11, during the octave of the Feast of the Immaculate Con- ception, in a solemn service at which the Rev. Francis G. Deglman, S. J., officiated. 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 prac- tice of devotion and sacrifice, particularly the Morning Offering and the Communion of Re- paration. The Mission Units gather small con- tributions each week for the aid of home and foreign missions. The sodality is the sponsor of a large group of clubs and guilds through which it tries to promote an active Catholic life and exert a spiritual influence in the entire student body of Creighton. These organizations are The xApos- tleship of Prayer; the Xavier Forum; the Senior Catholic Action club; the Junior Catholic Action club; the Evidence guild; the Journal club; the Acolytical society; the Sacred Sentinel Service unit; the Sacristans ' guild; the Sodality choir; the Ushers ' club, and the University Students ' Spiritual council. In addition, for the spiritual direction of all the students, opportunities are offered practically at all hours of the day and evening for private conferences with the Stu- dent Counsellor. The Xavier Forum, a diocesan collegiate study unit on missions and missionary problems held meetings every second Thursday of the month in the diocesan chancery. The forum made a detailed study of the mission intentions, proposed each month through the Apostleship of Prayer, which carried with it a view of the mission con- G.viL Burke Senior Catholic Club President Back Row: the Rev.

James Kocarnik, director of the Mission Crusade were honorary members of the forum. Ray Fox, law freshman, is presi- dent; Harold Lebens, law junior, vice presi- dent; Nell O ' Hollaren, university college junior and Patricia O ' Connor, commerce sophomore, secretaries. The forum sponsored various mis- sion activities throughout the year and gave support to the Mission Crusade. Ray Fox was president of the Omaha Students ' Mission Cru- sade. The Catholic Action club was divided this , year into two groups the senior and junior club, for upper and lower classmen res- pectively. It is an open forum for undergraduate students for the discussion of soci- ological, economic and ethical problems from the view point of Christian principles and ideals. Like the Xavier Forum it is in its fifth 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 discussion of the year revolved around the nature and motivation of its theories and its failure, where based on false philosophy. Gail E. Burke, commerce junior, is president of the senior club assisted by Claire Sedler, university college senior, as secretary.

Maurice Stoner. arts sophomore, suc- ceeded Robert Cizek as president of the altar boys with Paul Shrier, arts freshman as assist- ant. These officers arran ied all schedules and assignments. The patronal feast of St. John Berchman, November 27, is kept annually with a general communion at mass for the servers and festivity in the evening. 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 church and at the Forty Hours in the parish churches as well as on the anniversary of the institution of the Blessed Sacrament on Maundy Thursday. The annual retreat held from January 27 to 30 is the chief spiritual event of the year. The Rev. Raphael X. Hamilton. S. J., of Marquette university, conducted the exercises for the Catholic male students of the entire university. The Catholic women students had their retreat at the Crelghton Hall under the direction of the Rev. John Gerst, S. J., of Kansas City, Mo. .At the same time the Rev. George A. Deglman, S. J., regent of the college of commerce and the Rev. Thomas A. Bowdern, S. J., dean of the university college, conducted the retreats at the schools of nursing of St. Joseph ' s and St. Catherine ' s Hospitals. The Rev. Theodore Schulte. S.

St. John ' s church was crowded and practically the entire student body received Communion. This year ' s attend- ance at the retreat and conferences reached the high percentage mark of 99 l l. The outstanding sodality ceremony of the year was the ' Marian Xight ' ' held as a pil- grimage to the shrine of the Blessed Mother on the north lawn. Nearly 1.000 sodalists from all the school sodalities of the city marched with lighted candles amid songs and prayers to the grotto, where a brief address was given by Charles Hermanek, president of the Sodality Union. The Act of Consecration was renewed and solemn benediction of the Blessed Sacra- ment was given. Several public novenas were held during the year, a novena for vocations, novenas for suc- cess in examinations before the close of each semester, Xovena of Grace in March and the novena for the graduates in May. Xoonday 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. 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 ' irgin. 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.

Every Sunday morning the organization meets for a short convocation at which time Father Reilly delivers a short sermon followed by singing of hymns. Regular meetings are held the first Saturday of each month during which a reading is given pertaining to some of the present day Catholic interests, a hymn is sung to the Blessed V irgin Mary and special devotions and activities are stimulated. The meetings are opened and closed with a prayer. All members of the sodality participate in a three-day retreat given by out- standing members of the Society of Jesus. The retreat-master for this year was the Rev. George A. Deglman, S. J. The Sodality ' s purpose is to excite 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. That is. Catholics who are sincerely bent on sanctifying themselves each in her own state of life and earnestly desirous to save and sanctify their neighbor.

William Agnew, S. J., former president of the university, and as an attempt to help worthy and needy students who might, because of financial reasons, be forced to withdraw from Creigh- ton, the Father Agnew loan fund was created in September 1930. Since its inauguration many students have taken advantage of its help, the total number being 321 up to and including March 15, 1937. Nearly $10,000 has been loaned to students since 1930. The money for the fund is secured from the students and faculty members of each department. The drive for funds began November 15, 1936 and continued up until the time of the annual .Agnew Loan fund dance .April 2. . unique feature of the drive, was the appearance of the Agnew Loan Wolf which was published three times and which explained the purpose of the fund and gave information concerning the dance. The drive for the fund and its management was under the supervision of the Stu- dent Board of Governors, with Robert Downing as general chairman. Ray Fuxa and Paul Pival had actual charge of the board soliciting contributions from the students. The subscriptions or pledges are paid annually, semi-annually or quarterly. The directors of different colleges were Paul Heider, commerce; Joseph Troia, arts; Joseph Manion, pharmacy; Al Dona, dentistry; John Blough, journalism; Robert Booher, medicine; Willian Redle, law. The general committee this year made many new rules relating to the borrowing from the fund, and it is hoped that by these rules, the fund will be greatly increased so that more students will be able to receive the benefit of the fund. 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 IVIahan, S. J., president of the university. In addition, a cash prize of $30 awarded to the holder of the lucky ticket was an added feature of the dance this year.

The purpose towards which the corps is striving is to train students in military tactics during peace time in order to furnish efficient and capable military strength in time of na- tional emergency. The first student to receive a reserve officer ' s commission of a second lieutenantcy, was no- tified thereof in 1921. Since then, approxi- mately 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. 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, In- fantry, Commandant; Major Wilfred R. Higgins, Infantry; Major Nathaniel E. Cal- len, Infantry; Sergeant Lawrence J. Dempsey, and Sergeant Curtis D. Kier. Major Hardin C. Sweeney Commandant Company A 158 ♦ 1937 Edition of The Bluejay Major Callen is the newest addition to the Creighton military faculty, replacing Captain Frederick V. M. Dyer who was called into ac- tive duty. Major Callen is a Tennesseean by birth and is a graduate of the Company Officers and advanced school of the Infantry school at Fort Benning, Ga. This is his first assignment at R. O. T. C. work. The past few years he spent as a National Guard instructor and as a staff officers 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-third year of Army service during which time he served In the world war as battalion commander and ma- jor, and after the war as captain until a recent promotion. During the war he was decorated five times and received three citations for outstanding service and gallantry in action. The student officers for the year were: Battalion Headquarters: Richard G. IVIoran, Lieutenant Colonel; Arthur T. Sauser, Major, executive officer; Jack W. Croft, Captain, adjutant; and first lieutenants, Leo R. Clancy, John Moriarty, Leslie J. Lundell, aides.

The military department maintains offices on the second floor of the gymnasium where all executive and class work is carried on. In ad- dition to this, military drills, periods of two hours each are held, once each week on the athletic field where combat principles and field maneuvers are taught. The theory of these drills and maneuvers and rifle marksmanship and musketry are taught in the weekly classes under the tutelage of the regular army officers of the faculty. Some of the phases of military work covered during the year, over and above the markman- ship and musketry courses, are map reading, first aid, scouting, patrolling, military law, automatic rifle, machine gun, military history, map making, trench mortar, 37- millimeter gun, and methods of military attack and defense. The storeroom for equipment used in the outdoor drill and instruction is on the ground floor 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 for the various plays, speeches, and contests put on by the school and takes part in the Major Nathamei. E. Callen Infantry Company C 160 ♦ 1937 Edition of The Bluejay civic parades and activities of the city. Each year a general inspection is held by an execu- tive officer of the seventh corps area to deter- mine 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 fifth consecutive year that Creighton has maintained the Blue star rating. The inspection officer tests the cadets in each of the hours of the course and the rating is based 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 excellence 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 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 student 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 training are given a special six-weeks period of camp at Fort Crook, Xebr., for the purpose of completing their training in the course before they are given their commission. At the camp they are given actual contact and training in regular army life. They are encamped with Richard Mor.an Lieutenant -Colonel C() . i) 161 The Creighton University ♦ Second Year Advanced members of the R. O. T. C. units from the University of Iowa, the University of Ne- braska, and the University of South Dakota and vie with members of each of these units for special honors in the various events and courses conducted at the camp. The Military Ball, the annual social event sponsored by the department this year, revealed Miss Marion Menzies as the new Honorary Colonel succeeding Miss Betty Roennau. Miss Menzies is a junior in the college of commerce. The ball this year was held at the Paxton hotel where special ceremonies were held for the installation of the new Honorary Colonel who ruled over the university bat- talion during the course of the year. The color guards for the Military Ball also acted in the same capacity at the Junior-Senior Prom held February. The new Colonel was presented at the annual Military banquet held immediately preceding 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 beein in the history of the school and was under the direction of Daniel Slezinger, U. S. A., retired. The band, Company ' X 162 1937 Edition of The Bluejay E. SVOBODA M. Cropper D. Miller while it is officially and primarily a military unit, is also the official unit for the uni- versity 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. A new advantage is afforded the advanced students due to a measure passed on by the Congress of the United States which provides that each school having a Re- serve Officers Training Unit will be allowed to submit its best students for further training, giving them the opportunity to enter the regular Army with a second-lieu- tenant ' 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. H. BROs: AN M. DlFFY M.

C. band takes a prominent part in all school activities. Although it is the official university band, it is primarily a mili- tary organization. The band was the largest this year of any in the history of the school, playing at more functions of the University than any previous band. Besides furnishing music for all the home football games and the basketball games, it played for all the drill and parades of the military unit. It provided music for the various pep-rallies sponsored by the Pep council pre- ceding football games throughout the year and took part in the Homecoming parade, convo- cations, and commencement exercises. Intricate maneuvers and formations between the halves of football games were featured this year by the organization. The band created a striking appearance at all performances in their white and blue uniforms and new capes of the same color. Each year it continually makes further advancements in its activities. Band members are given credit with those taking the actual drill and field man- euvers. The world famous Hardin-Simmons cowboy band played at the game and rally previous to the game and was acknowledged to be the outstanding band visiting Creigh- ton this season. The band is renowned for its swing type of band music. Its catchy version of The White and the Blue was unforgettable. Daniel E. Slezinger Director The University ' R.O.T.C.

From the very beginning of the football season, the players, students and faculty sensed a re-birth of genuine Creighton spirit, a spirit which they took up and encouraged and which reached its climax at the homecoming Marquette game. Sam Weinstein was appointed Pep Marshal for the year succeeding Richard Carey. Cheer leader? appointed by the Pep Marshal for the year were Robert Walker, head cheer leader; Jim Keogh and Gene Rush. This year was the second year of cheer leading for Walker, the third for Weinstein and the first for Rush and Keogh. They worked out new yells and new motions which were presented at all the football and basketball games. Their Hip-Hip has become the catch word of the campus. The Howler ' s club, now in its second year of pep leadership, was re-organized and again became a vital force in keeping Creighton pep at a high standard. Officers of the year were Richard King, president; James Kisgen, secretary, and Jack Miller, treasurer. The Rev. Leo Mullany, S. J., is sponsor of the organization. The Howler ' s club sponsored many contests to maintain the university ' s interest in pep activities. The foremost of which was a yell contest in which a wrist watch donated by J. H. Furay, A. B., ' 98, vice president of the United Press association, was offered as first pr ize. Frank Greer with his yell 00-Yay Bluejay won the watch Sam Weinstein Pep Marshall The Band Plays the White and Blue 166 ♦ 1937 Edition of The Bluejay and Elihu Cooper and Bob Hays received hon- orable mention. Major H. C. Sweeney pre- sented the prize during one of the Howler ' s regular meetings in the Creighton auditorium. Judges were the Rev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S. J., dean of arts and sciences; Floyd E. Walsh, dean of commerce; Frank E. Pellegrin, pub- licity director, and Marchmont Schwartz, ath- letic director. Among the speakers at the club ' s meetings during the year were Athletic Director Schwartz, Father Mullany, Major Sweeney, and Edgar Hickey. The club had their own section reserved at all games. A float sponsored by the club was entered in the Homecoming parade. Several new methods were employed in fos- tering school spirit. Every game was publicized by means of signs and placards placed in con- spicuous places all over the campus. These signs were made each week by John Blough, John Lynch and Sam Weinstein. Another method used was the sponsoring of pep rallies and parades. The night before the Hardin-Simmons game appro.ximately 600 students led by the R. O. T. C. band marched and snake-danced from the campus through downtown Omaha to the Paxton hotel where coaches, athletes and faculty members of both schools spoke to a cheering crowd. A special attraction was the famed Hardin-Simmons cowboy band. Homecoming provided the greatest display of pep seen at Creighton for many years. The evening before the Big Day a great bonfire rally was held on the campus, fol- lowed by a student Homecoming dance, sponsored jointly by the Pan-Hellenic council Robert Walker Head Cheer-leader Keoch Rush Walker Weixsteix 167 The Creighton University On ' e or THE Flcjai ilu: )MiNG Parade and the Student Board of Governors in the Creighton gymnasium. This was one of the highlights of the year ' s school pep activities. Homecoming day, although cold and sleety, did not dampen the spirit of coopera- tion and enthusiasm exhibited alike by student, faculty, and alumni. Parade marshal was Sam Weinstein, who directed all parade activities. Fifty dollars in prizes also, donated by Mr. Furay, was awarded for the outstanding floats. This was an added incentive that precipitated the entrance of additional floats from various organizations for the first time. The school of dentistry won first prize. Besides the Creighton R. O. T. C. band, the homecoming parade was augmented by special prize winning out-of-town high school bands together with Omaha High school bands. By collaborating with the Omaha Safety Council parade, the 1936 Homecoming parade became one of the longest and finest in Creighton ' s history. The last rally of the season was held on the Omaha Court House lawn in a sleet storm, the eve of the Detroit game. Yells and colored flares were feature attractions. The Creighton band and several hundred students took part in an excursion to Des Moines for the Drake football game.

The purpose of the council was to better regulate fraternities on the Creighton campus and to form a contact body between the administration and the fraternities. The name was later changed to the Pan-Hellenic council. Today, every social and professional fraternity of Creighton is represented on the council, and it regulates and controls all fraternity matters. Besides its regular routine work as a fraternal governing body the council also sponsors the Pan-Hellenic ball. 196 1937 Edition of The Bluejay JOSEfH SOLDWAHS CURTIS BUftSM JOHN H£DfUCK.

Members are selected from the Catholic students of the junior and senior classes of the arts college. Their choice is based on scholarship, character and personality. Primarily, the purpose of the fraternity is to unite its members into an influential guide for their college. They also direct the annual arts fun day and arts ball. Com- bined with this, they offer a medal for the best philosophical essay submitted during the scholastic year. 198 I I 1937 Edition of The Bluejay J MeS OOWD COWARD O ' DOHNeU l- O HOFFMAN DAN MORPHY ,j y )pha CkKappa Irf O ' Ne iL WLLIAM O ' NetLL WtUMM CWACW k JOHN HOFFMAM J.

It is a international professional fraternity and is open only to students of com- merce. Delta Sigma Pi seeks to encourage scholarship by awarding two achievement cups — one to the most outstanding freshman, and one to the most progressive senior during the four years of school. It aims to foster the study of business in universities and to further a higher standard of commercial ethics and culture, and the civic and commercial welfare of the community. 204 1937 Edition of The Bluejay i 1 ik CHARLES PK£SrON WILUAM KfffO JUNIOR ViAUDE!

At first its ac- tivities were confined to eastern law schools, Creighton being one of the first schools in the midwest to be granted a chapter. Today there are thirty-two active chapters in every section of the country. Although fraternalism is the object of the organization, the members as well as the alumni have not negelected to advance the high ideals and standards of the legal pro- fession. ♦ 208 1937 Edition of The Bluejay JO LONG v Qora JO f l £B£KT THOMAS STAMOSOteCK L£Of AKP MAHASIL AMBKOSE GKADY JOHf i KSAN£ DONALD O ' BHIEN 0£XT£ l JON£S ' Jtf5.f W FANSSJAMCO rKANK yA66 £ t££ f(erhfOlDS JOf N mXAN W UIAM g£DL£ fULUAM CbUU tAUD M£MKY Pere SOM Founded at the University of Maine in 1901 Theta Chapter Granted in 1912 209 The Crcighton University JLamoda irki III u International Medical Fraternity OFFICERS Frank LaRosa, Grand Master Joseph Monteleone, Vice President Eugene Benedetto, Secretary Charles Antonini, Treasurer Caspar LaRosa, Corresponding Sec ' y.

But realizing that this was hardly sufficient we wish to include all those who may see the edition. If you enjoyed the views section with its pictures of campus build- ings made on infra-red ray film we wish you to thank, as we do, John F. Murray of the Bostwick studios. Or, if the typography and printing throughout the book pleases you most then join the staff in thanking Mr. E. J. Cochrane of the Na- tional Printing company and their craftsmen. Perhaps it is the candid camera pictures of the deans and coaches that catches your fancy; if so your thanks is due Nat Dewell, the photographer who made them. For the fine silhouettes that decorate the main division and sub- division pages we agree with you and thank Mr. Gordon Bennett, com- mercial artist. Due credit for all the portrait work in the book should go to the Rinehart-Marsden studio. Other persons have contributed to the work of publishing the annual. Mr. C. N. Nolan of the Baker-Docherty Engraving company; the several heads of the departments of the university and of the affiliated schools; Mr. Frank E. Pellegrin, publicity director; Stan Pederson and Stan Rychly for the pictures in the snapshot section, and many others whose cooperation was necessary in order to complete the work. Last but far from least if you enjoyed the general makeup, color scheme and continuity of the book your appreciation is due Mr. Joseph P. Murphy, faculty adviser, who contributed and helped to develop many of the ideas used in the 1937 edition of The Blue jay. The Editor.
