The Bluejay staff this year, in keeping with the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the school, has attempted in the opening sec- tion of the annual to portray by means of drawings the outstanding stages in the de- velopment of the University. The line drawing at the top of the opposite page is a reproduction of the blockhouse built in 1837 by Colonel Kearney, and turned over to the Jesuit missionaries led by Father Peter De Sntet, for a church and school in 18)8 just one hundred years ago. The modest building was the sole place of Catholic worship and education in Western Iowa for many years. At the bottom of this page is pic- tured the home of the first head of The Creighton University, The Rev. R. A. Shaffel, S.J., who arrived in Omaha in December, 1877. This frame building served as his resi- dence until the completion of quar- ters on the Hilltop. tl iff I u I I v. II te . FV .

Creighton. Endowed with business ability and foresight, they fashioned a fortune from the raw plains surrounding Omaha and later created the endowment establishing Creighton College. mwr he Right Rev. James O ' Connor, D.D., first bishop of Omaha, designated as patron of the University by the Creighton family, turned the deed of trust of the school over to the Rev. Thomas O ' Neil, S.J., Provincial of the Missouri Province of the Society of Jesus, December 4, 1879. fflH - - ' - • ; 1 r 1 ' .

Creighton and University and Omaha city officials. mm W r 0mm Wmm 111 ir ' ■■■ ' MM MUM ItllMHM ft 8! -  Sa Ilk. • tfv ,pra-$.r.to W BE •M l ' l IM mill MM MM PS (fiil rt u A •J Ollffi Mlltu lllilllllllllil IIMMIMM mmiw ' iimiMi  ' ■ MM 1 1 1 1 ll 1 ' II ' , u : I mm L II ■ I II vug, 1 1 . 1 , n — 1 (Mi 1 !••■ 1 u 3 F s ....

C he Lyoilecje of Of) Is ana Sciences J.HE college of arts and sciences is the oldesl department of the university. It offers a wide range of courses leading to the bachelor ' s degree in arts, sciences and philoso- phy, and attempts to give the student a true appreciation of the seven arts. These include: the relation of the individual to God, the re- lation of the individual to his fellow man, the art of enjoying leisure, the art of expression, I he art of reasoning, the art of the compre- hension 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 logic- ally. During the first two years of his arts course the student adheres closely to a pre- scribed program in order to acquire credits in essential fields. In the final two years he has the opportunity to pursue more intensively courses of study to which he is especially inclined and for which he may have particular aptitude. He has the further privileges of extending reading and research in chosen subjects and closer contact with persons whose interests parallel his own. Combination courses make- it possible for students to fulfill the requirements of more than one department and to earn two degrees before they leave school — the bachelor ' s degree and the pro- fessional degree. By regulating courses, the student may pursue one of many lines that will acquaint him with whatever field he particularly desires, whether it be science, history, English, modern lan- guages, mathematics, sociology or philosophy.

The latter is an organization in which less than half of the law schools in the United States are permitted to hold membership. Restricted enrollment insures a uniform stu- dent 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. As a reward for general excellence in scholar- ship, an honorary fraternity was formed during the past year among scholastic leaders of the school of law, guided by Professor Hugh Gil- lespie, faculty moderator. Fifteen students were chosen from the senior and junior law classes as charter members of the organization, to be known as the Servientes ad Legum. 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 various 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 (raining for the mid-western lawyers. 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. Students obtain an opportunity to display their court room technique. Tin Si hool of Law Fa l i i i 25 1878 - 1938 cJlie School of Medicine .HE school of medicine is the oldest professional department of the univer- sity. It not only sends out of its doors some of America ' s leading members in the medical profession, hut provides one of the greatest welfare services in Omaha. In order to give curricula! activities, an elaborately equipped clinic is maintained which furnishes medical ( are free to those who are financially unable to pay a licensed doctor ' s tee. The entire support of the dispensary is provided by Creighton uni- versity. The Creighton dispensary is a member of the Omaha Council of Social agencies. It co- operates with the Creighton University Health service, the Visiting Nurses association, the Public School Nurses, the Omaha Orthopedic society, the Diocesan Catholic Charities, the Nebraska Tuberculosis association, and other charitable and benevolent agencies of the city. Three years of general academic work in an approved school is the pre-requisite for en- trance to the medical school which offers a four-year course leading to two possible de- crees. Doctor of Medicine, and Bachelor of Science in Medicine. An excellent opportunity for research or specialization is afforded by the graduate courses. Rigid graduation and entrance re- quirements have put the school in the top iliuht of similar institutions throughout the nation. It is a member of the American association of Medical colleges, being rated as class A by the American Medical association. To widen the scope of practical experience four hospitals. Creighton Memorial St. Joseph ' s hospi- tal, St. Catherine ' s hospital. Mercy hospital, and St. Bernard ' s hospital, are affiliated with the school as they offer opportunities for observation of particular maladies and diseases to the students. The School of Medicine Faculty 26 Sixtieth Anniversary Cshe Kyollecje of 1 harmcici] A FOUR-YEAR course, leading to the degree of bachelor of science in phar- macy and providing the opportunity to special- ize in any of several related fields, places the Creighton college of pharmacy on an equal standard with the few outstanding institutions of its kind in the country. The curriculum of the college of pharmacy has been prepared to give men and women such education in phar- macy as will enable them to meet the present 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 pharmaceutical fields. Dean William A. Jarrett heads a distin- guished faculty of men who rank as leading educators and scientists. Personalized teaching and individual attention to each student are two of the reasons for the outstanding success of Creighton pharmacy graduates. Unusual and advantageous is the close cooperation maintained between 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 i- also a registered pharmacist. In this manner students compound 10,000 prescriptions each year for clinical patients. The standards of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy are maintained in all courses. This group is the highest accredited agency in pharmaceutical education. Most states by law or ruling of the state board of pharmacy recognize only those schools which hold membership in this associa- tion. 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. I mi College of Pharmacy Fa( li 11 27 1878 - 1938 Cshe School of JJentishij Stressing, ;is in p;ist yean, the advisability of a close unity between the stu- dent and instructor, the Creighton school of dentistry persevered in its efforts to maintain the excellent scholastic ranking it now enjoys. Pre-dental and dental lines were developed and improved in every phase of the school ' s cur- ricular activities. The faculty, realizing that the student must be equipped with the ability to move with the trailmakers of his profession, has kept pace with the industry by the adding of lat est dental equipment in the held of research. Again the tried and true maxim Quality and not Quantity was carried out in the teaching of dental theory and research to Creighton dental students. Prefaced by a two-year study of pre-dental work in the college of arts and sciences, the prospective dentist must satisfactorily complete a four-year dental course. In the school of dentistry students are also given a well-rounded education to insure their cultural as well as technical training before they receive their degree of dm tor of dental surgery. Solid foundations, from which the student may ex- [H ' ct to build a career of professional leadership, are the keynote upon which the curric- ulum is based. Seniors are given technical training in the elaborate clinic and technical laboratories. The school also maintains complete microscopic, metallurgical, and X-Ray laboratories, together with a spacious infirmary and large dental-surgery- operating rooms for the expressed use of dental students. Through the work of the Creighton dental clinic many deserving cases in the city of Omaha receive help. Students working in the clinic are all equipped with the latest improvements in the line of electrically operated dental tools, and do their work under carefull supervision of the faculty. Each year an average of between four and five thousand are treated by the upperclassmen.

The four-year course leading to the degree of bachelor of science in commerce comprises two natural divisions. The work of the fresh- man and sophomore years consists largely of required courses and has a two-fold purpose: to provide a broad cultural background and to furnish training in the fundamental principles of business. The work of the junior and senior years consists of the more highly specialized courses designed to develop keen analytical ability in business matters and to fit the stu- dent for active participation in his chosen field. The college maintains a Bureau of Business Research, which provides each student with experience in the application of statistical methods. Students in the college of commerce receive the benefits of training under faculty mem- bers who are not only thoroughly trained in their respective fields and experienced in teach- ing but who have likewise had actual business experience in the branches they teach. An important feature of the college of commerce is the evening division, in which economics and accounting courses receive special emphasis. The majority of the students enrolled are employed men and women who are studying in fields related to their regular work. 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. The College of Commerce Faculty 29 1878 - 1938 Cslie L[rilverslhj ( oiiecje J of the youngest and yet one of the largest departments of the university is the University college, established in 1931. It has incorporated all courses formerly taught outside the regular class schedules of the college of arts and sciences, the college of commerce and the school of journalism. The University college was founded to com- bine all of the extension courses and teachers courses and to give a comprehensive and thor- ough training to the teachers, professional men, college Students, and adults enrolled in college Q courses.

Through ),.,„ this college, women students are given an op- portunity to receive Arts degrees. Certificates in education arc awarded by the University college in addition to the degrees, special em- phasis being laid on education courses in the curriculum of this department. Even though University college enrolls many women students it appeals also to busi- ness nun anil women of whom there is a large enrollment in special late afternoon, evening and Saturday courses. The goal of the department is the Creighton Ideal — the endowment of student- with Complete K |iiipment for Life. 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 regalar sessions of the university and give the same credits. The session is attended by many teachers working for higher degrees. The University College Faculty 30 Sixtieth Anniversary Cshe Sckooi of ournausm JTOUNDED and operated on the principle that class room instruction is but a part of a thorough journalistic education, the Creighton university school of journalism con- tinued during the past year to stress the practi- cal side of news-gathering and news-writing through The Cr eight onian, and The Blue jay, two major publications of the Hilltop. The first two years of study are spent on subjects that give a broad cultural background such as history, English, the languages, science, mathematics and religion, all of which are so essential to an educated journalist. Specialized courses in journalism and advertising and radio form the major part of the junior-senior curri- cula. The beginning of the fifth year as a major department of the university found the school of journalism with an enrollment of 64 students — over twice the number that enrolled when the department was opened in 1932. Every regularly enrolled student must spend a certain portion of time working on either of the two publications, with the result that a graduate of the department is well-schooled in both the theoretical as well as the practical side of the profession. Upper class students work with practicing reporters and desk men on down- town Omaha papers and with news men on local staffs of radio stations getting the practical touch needed for success in the work of The Fouth Estate. The journalism library was enlarged also with a number of the newest books on current trends in journalism placed at the disposal of students. The faculty of the department is composed of the Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S.J., regent: Stuart A. Mahuran, acting director; Frank E. Pellagrin, assistant professor, and Joseph P. Murphy, instructor in journalism and advertising. Stuart A.

The intellectual brilliance of the research student is tempted towards even further endeavor in specialized fields by his attainments in the graduate school. The faculty of the department is made up of professors selected from all departments of the uni- versity. They are all specialists in their particular lines of study. The schedules of the department are arranged to include late afternoon, evening, and Saturday classes. Many graduate courses are also offered during the summer session. The six-week summer session began July 17 and continued through July 30. The Graduate School Faculty 32 Sixtieth Anniversary Saint Joseph s Jtospltal OT. JOSEPH ' S Creighton Memo- rial hospital is completing its fifty-eighth year as one of the outstanding medical organizations of the middlewest. It contains accommodations for 500 patients. Five thousand dollars has been spent in remodeling and re-equipping the entire hospital with the newest appliances, affording the student nurses ample opportunity for extensive experience in various departments. New diet kitchens supply the patient with tempting and appetizing foods which the nurses prepare under the supervision of a graduate dietician. Twelve new operating rooms and a specially designed X-Ray and physical therapy department occupy the top floor. The new ma- ternity department on the fourth floor with its spotless nurseries is one of the largest and most modern departments of its kind. The science department has been especially designed for teaching the nurses chemistry, physiology, bacteriology and pathology, subjects which are necessary for the proper understanding of the body whether it be healthy or diseased. The school of nursing is affiliated with the Creighton university, and constitutes a unit of its educational system, offering a three-year course and a five-year course. Students are registered in the university and receive diplomas signed by the officers of both institutions. Students of the school have all the privileges of the university. The officers of the administration are: the Rev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S.J., president of the university; the Rev. John J. Mclnerny. S.J., regent of the nursing school; Sister M. I.ivina. R.X.A.M., superintend- ent of the hospital, and Alma K. Folda. assistant director of the school of nursing. St. Joseph ' s hospital is located at Tenth and Castelar streets. SlSTEB M. 1 [VINA, R.N.

CATHERINE ' S hospital was opened by the Sisters of Mercy, aided by the untiring efforts and generosity of Mrs. Catherine Xash ! Omaha. In recognition of her services the hospital was named St. Catherine ' s. Since its foundation in 19 10 two additional wings have been built which has increased the total capacity of the hospital to 165 beds. The first addition was made in 1916, and four years later the second unit was constructed. Each department is under the active supervision of one of the Mercy nuns who is especially trained for the work of her particular depart- ment. St. Catherine ' s is a general hospital, fully equipped and prepared for every type of ill- ness. Initially the hospital specialized in ma- ternity cases and the care of women and chil- dren. Gradually it grew to such size and dis- tinctiveness that it became necessary to offer facilities for all 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 asso- ciation. These ratings are merited because of the efficient services tended to the community. The hospital offers a three-year training course for girls interested in the vocation of nursing. 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 wi th Creighton. A nurse may re- ceive a degree of bachelor of science after completing two years additional work. The officers of the administration are: the Rev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S.J., president of the university; the Rev. John J. Mclnerny, S.J., regent of the nursing school; Sister M. John, R.S.M., superintendent of the hospital, and Sister M. Kevin.

Begley Vice President J_HE Alumni, by upholding or relinquishing the ideals of their training, deepen or weaken the prestige which Creighton holds in the world about us, in the estima- tion of the Very Rev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S.J., president of the university. He expressed this sentiment at the Annual Spring Convocation banquet in 1937, at which time he also expressed utmost confidence in the alumni of Creighton. To 1,000 out-of-town alumni, who with their wives and families journeyed to Omaha on October 22 and 23, the 1937 Homecoming was one of the finest ever presented . Departmental dinners, the home-coming dances, the football game were highlights of another highly successful alumni reunion. During the Homecoming celebration, Henry G. Lee was elected president of the Alumni association, Dr. John P. Begley was chosen vice-president and Hugh M. Higgins was named secretary-treasurer. Representatives elected to serve two-year terms on the council are: Art McCaffrey, arts; Charles Newstrom, commerce; Dr. Charles Newstrom Alma Folda Edward Jelen 80 Sixtieth Anniversary Frank E. Pellegrin Joseph McKenna, den- tistry; RayMcGrath,law; Dr. Edmond Welsh, medi- cine; Frank Norris, Phar- macy; Dorothy Donahue, St. Catherine; and Teresa Tully, St. Joseph. Hold-over members who have one more year to serve include: Frank P. Fogarty, arts; Edward Jelen, commerce; Dr. B. J. Hal- ler, dentistry; Lawrence Welch, law; Dr. John Grier, medicine; Clarence Gassman, pharmacy; Kathryn Swo- boda, St. Catherine, and Alma Folda, St. Joseph. The second annual St. Patrick ' s dinner-dance was sponsored by the Alumni council at the Fontenelle hotel. The event which is fast becoming a traditional custom was begun last year. The plan was to give the alumni a well-rounded year with Homecoming in the fall and this dinner-dance at the end of winter. A capacity crowd of 400 was expected by Dr. Walsh, chairman of the committee in charge of the affair. Assisting Dr. Walsh were five members of the Alumni council; Dr. McKenna, Miss Donahue, McCaffrey, Norris, and McGrath. The All-Sports banquet, sponsored by the Alumni association, was held again this year in April. The pur- pose of the banquet is to honor varsity and freshman athletes and coaches. President Lee was chairman of the committee in charge of the banquet and arranged the program. Varsity monograms and sweaters were awarded to the athletes at the banquet. Hugh M. Higgins Secretary Art McCaffrey Clarence Gassman Dorothy Donahue Dr. Joseph McKenna 1878 -1938 - Kathryn Svcoboda Teresa Tully New alumni clubs were begun this year in Ohio, Minnesota, and Oklahoma. These clubs, nationwide in scope, were organized as a means of continuing asso- ciations begun in the uni- versity. 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 sponsors an annual dinner- dance during March. An alumni office is maintained on the first floor of the law building and a competent 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 mem- bers in good standing of the Alumni association and no dues are charged for member- ship. An Alumni fund, maintained by voluntary contributions from the alumni finances the alumni magazine, the alumni office, homecomings, reunions, convocations, smokers, the university of the air, and other alumni projects. 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 in stimulating alumni activity in his com- munity. The purpose of the alumni association is to promote fellowship and cooperation among the alumni of the various departments, to increase the influence of the uni- versity and to aid in its development, insofar as it is in its power. A year around pro- gram of activities is planned to strengthen the bonds of felllowship which unite all alumni. An alumni council holds monthly meetings in the law school. Dr. John Grier Lawrence Welch Frank P. Fogarty Frank Norris 82 Sixtieth Anniversary Apartment organized in 1922 to promote a build- ing and endowment drive for the University . . . Re- organized and set up as a permanent department in 1925 to stimulate interest in progress of the growing Creighton. C lie 1 ubucitij JJepartment IN ORDER 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 interesting activities of the week, to various daily and weekly newspapers of the sur- rounding states. This publicity work serves two pur- poses. First, the public is kept well in- formed as to the activities of the school; socially, culturally, scholastic - ally, and athletically. Secondly, the university is brought to the public eye through this office. In this manner pro- spective students may learn a great deal about the school and its activities and background. Inaugurated two years ago, the student enrollment campaign has been conducted with outstanding success by the publicity department. Replacing a method whereby prospective students were mailed literature about the university, the bureau sent mem- bers of its staff out during the summer months to render service to prospective students who had indicated their desire to enroll in Creighton. This new method has proved to be the most productive of any tried so far, and has each year measurably increased the amount of enrollment over past registration. Frank E. Pellegrin Director Robert F. Prentiss James P. Chambers 84 - Sixtieth Anniversary C ounded in 1922 as a gov- erning body to promote student activity and stu- dent welfare . . .

Faculty Regent Stuoenh L(ni mon William Ri-dle i President o K of the most active and influential groups on the Creighton campus is the Students Union. Founded six- teen years ago as an effort to promote student activity and student welfare, it has grown and prospered until today it controls the balance of student power on the campus. A faculty regent, a Students Union manager, and a Union Board of Governors preside over the organiza- tion and direct the policy of the Union. The Rev. Charles K. Hayden, S.J., succeeds the Rev. B. J. Quinn, S.J., as Faculty Regent, and Joseph P. Murphy was chosen to replace Leo Reynolds as manager. Board members are elected to positions on the governor ' s staff by the entire student body; two students are elected from each of the seven units of the university. Serving for two years the representatives control and direct activities. Those on the board are Joseph R. Manion, president; William Redle, vice president; Raymond Fuxa, secre- tary; Eugene Stanton, treasurer; Robert Slattery, Jack Miller, Vincent Houston.

Giege- rich, Frederick Jardon, and Ivan Svoboda. Unless the necessity for a special meeting arises the board meets every two weeks. At these meetings discussion and actions on matters of student interest are called, and plans for the direction of the Union are agreed upon. Clubrooms are maintained on the first floor of the gymnasium for the convenience of Creighton male stu- dents. A lounge and study room provides ample oppor- tunity for quiet conversation, a game of checkers, or for a lazy siesta between classes. Here also the student may play a game of billiards, cards, or even struggle through a fiercely contested game of ping-pong. Reason- ably priced lunches, candy, ice cream, and cigarettes may be purchased. Providing a general meeting place for the student, the billiard rooms and candy store are the proverbial haunt of the Creighton good fellow . An employment bureau operated by the Union offers arrangement with business offices in down-town Omaha for the student desiring either part-time or full-time work. Business houses are canvassed annually and en- couraged to employ university students wherever pos- sible. A rooming house service is also maintained to assure out-of-town students of suitable rooms at reason- Eugene Stanton Treasurer Joseph Murphy Manager Paul Pi i Rudy Mayr Nick Popa Pierce Chambers 87 — 1878 - 1938 Charles Stephenson John Pietraszewski Robert Booher able prices. Each year a new list of fitting rooms for Creighton students is compiled and distributed. Thorough inspection of these housing facilities is made each year by Union officials. The Board of Governors, with the assistance of Joseph Murphy, manager, success- fully conducted the planning and execution of several all-University functions. Notable among the many social affairs of the season was the Junior-Senior Prom for which the first name band in the history of Creighton functions was engaged. The Student directory and the Creighton Handbook are two university publications which are printed under the direction of the Students Union. The newly organized Blue Wings, student pep group, is directed and sponsored by the Union and headed by Pep Marshall Sam Weinstein. Formed to arouse a greater school spirit the organi- zation did yeomanry work in maintaining fire and drive in Bluejay athletic teams. The Blue Wings is the successor on the campus to the Howlers pep club which was organ- ized in the university in 1935. The Students Union is operated as 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. During the past 14 years the government of the student body and the direction of student activities has been in the hands of the Creighton Students Union Board of Governors.

Not once during the whole season did the Bluejays start a game at full strength. All year the squad was weak- ened by injuries. First it was Fred Rief who, like all Creighton captains for the past few years, was forced to ride the bench a good part of the time due to an early season injury. Several other mainstays of the team also missed out on a good deal of service due to in- juries. It was on October 23, that the Creighton team, playing Kansas State college before a Homecoming crowd of 10,000, hit the high spot of the year. Coach Marchie Schwartz ' s boys pushed their Big Six opponents all over th e field for the better part of the game only to go down in defeat, 15 to 7. As a finale to the season Dick Yana was chosen at a guard position on the All- Missouri Yalley conference team for his third consecutive year. Fred Borak and captain Fred Reif were chosen on the second team at end and guard respectively. Borak also received All-American mention at the end post. Below are pictured the three outstanding seniors on the 1937 squad. Frederick Reif Captain Frfdi rick Reif Guard Fred Borak End Richard Vana Guard 93 o te 1 937 B, s eason BREAKING St. Benedict ' s fifteen-game winning streak proved to be just as hard as the Jays expected when they opened the season by defeating the Kansas aggregation 6 to in Omaha, September 25. Johnny Thomas, rookie Jay quarterback, opened the season with a bang when he ran the initial kickoff 62 yards before he was brought down from behind by Leo Danaher, St. Benedict back. But the Jays could advance no farther and the Ravens ended the Creighton touchdown trek when they took the ball on their own 14. Creighton ' s touchdown, which was the product of the efforts of two Kenosha, Wis., boys, came late in the second quarter to thrill the 9,000 spectators. With the ball on the Raven 26-yard line Marvin Werve, Jay guard, broke through to block Don Martin ' s punt. The ball bounced backward over the St. Benedict goal and alert Fritz Borak, Creighton end, captured it for the game ' s only score. Lulu Lulinski ' s try for the extra point was wide. St. Benedict ' s only touchdown threat came in the third quarter when Rube Ruberry threw a pass to Gus Milak which netted 50 yards and a touchdown. But the play was called back for illegal use of the hands and the Kansans failed to connect again. Jay veterans proved themselves handy men to have around as the first-year men, as a whole, failed to produce in their initial varsity fray. Johnny Thomas and Sammy Gant- man, both quarterbacks, proved to be the most promising of the sopho- mores as they handed in commend- able performances. A field goal, booted by a halfback named Pete Rivers, spelled defeat for the Jays as they journeyed to Still- water, Okla., to lose, 16 to 13, to to Oklahoma A M, October 2. Although they were outdowned and outyarded, the Creighton eleven put fear in the Oklahoma hearts as they unleashed a fiery passing attack which netted two touchdowns and an extra point. Creighton ' s first touchdown came late in the second quarter when Johnny Piet ' s short pass was gathered in by Bob Golonka who then stepped across the pay stripe. Billy Ziesel collaborated with sophomore Jim Hall to raise the Jay total in the fourth quarter. After working the ball to the eight-yard line a fake end run by Jim Hall turned into a pass to Ziesel which was good for the counter. The Oklahoma scoring came as the results of two hard-hitting line plunges by Webb and two placekicks by Pete Rivers which were good for a conversion and the fatal field goal. The bright spot of the contest was the Jay passing attack which was good enough to complete eight out of ten passes attempted. Two of the aerials were good for six points and another for a point after touchdown. Johnny Piet and Jim Hall were on the throwing end of most of these passes. Webb ' s plunging and River ' s placekicking were the best offensive exhibitions for the Oklahomans. With three regulars riding the bench, the Bluejays barely nosed out the under- dog Grinnell Pioneers 6 to in Omaha, October 8.  Grinnell Captain Fred Reif. Hob Golonka and Johnny Thomas saw no service against the invaders because of injuries and left it up to punching Paul Hartnek to bring in the victory. For most of three quarters, although they outdowned and outyarded the Pio- neers, the Jays could not push over a score. But late in the third canto Hartnek began plunging and Piet began passing and they soon advanced the ball from their own 21 yard line to the Grinnell 12. Here Hartnek took full charge and after four bone-crushing plunges he finally toted the ball and several Pioneers through the mud and over the double stripe. The try for point was lost when Ziesel fumbled the slippery ball from center as Lulinski stood poised for the kick. Billy Ziesel thwarted Grinnell ' s only serious scoring threat of the evening when he intercepted Evans ' pass on his own five and ran it to his 27. Although the field and ball were muddy and wet it didn ' t seem to bother Johnny Piet ' s passing ability. He played the major role in a second quarter passing attack which netted the Bluejays 77 yards before the gun sounded, ending both the half and Creigh ton ' s scoring threat. Playing at home October 15, in a downpour of rain for the second con- secutive week, the Creighton eleven failed to match the power of the Drake contingent and lost 9 to 0. Mud-covered Pug Manders, Drake back, was too much in the way de- fensively and too powerful offensively to enable the Jays to play an even game with the Bulldogs. Hampered by the adverse weather conditions both teams punted frequently in the hope that a fumbled return might lead to a score. Early in the second quarter a Drake punt put Creighton on their own twelve-yard line. In an attempt to punt from behind his own goal Billy Ziesel momentarily lost control of the ball and was caught in the end zone while trying to run it out. This break gave Drake their chance and they took advantage of it to chalk up the only touchdown of the game when Manders terminated a goalward drive with a one-yard plunge over the pay stripe. Bob Underwood slid through the line for the extra point. Twice during the wet fray Creighton threatened to score but each time incomplete passes caused them to lose the ball on downs. Manders, Cliff Suter and Bob Underwood looked the best for Drake while Johnny Piet was the Jay offensive star as he connected for four complete passes totaling 65 yards. Eight thousand fans were convinced that the old saying ' Creighton always hits its peak on Homecoming day still stood as they watched the Jays play the best 60 minutes of the year while losing to Kansas State 15 to 7, October 23. The Wildcats got off to an early start when they scored in the first period. They got their scoring chance after Piet was caught behind his own goal while attempt- ing to recover a bad pass from center. This counted two points against the Jays and after Piet punted from his own 20-yard line the Kansans marched to the goal and scored on a fake center plunge. After the half-time intermission the Jays began getting the better of the argu- ment but were unable to push over a score. Early in the fourth quarter the Jay offensive literally caught on fire and they began their scoring drive. Mil ? % « The Creighton touchdown came in this canto when a trick play with four men handling the ball ended with Bob Golonka scampering across the goal after receiv- ing a pass from Johnny Piet. Piet passed to Engelbretson for the extra point. During the remaining minutes of the game the Jays gambled for another score which would put them out in front. The Kansans took advantage of this gambling and intercepted a pass to score their second touchdown. Dick Vana, Jay guard, was a standout as he spent the afternoon in the Kansas backfield breaking up plays. Piet and Golonka supplied the fireworks in the Creigh- ton backfield. After enjoying a two week vacation Schwartz and Company journeyed to Cin- cinnati, Ohio, to tangle with the Xavier university eleven November 6. As a result of the vacation the Jay offensive was a bit rusty and they ended up on the bottom of a 19 to score. A 62-yard touchdown run in the third quarter by Bob Cummins, Xavier half- back, was the spark which ignited the scoring dynamite in the Xavier attack. The stage was set for the second Xavier score early in the fourth quarter when Johnny Nowak, Jay fullback, fumbled the ball on a center smash. The truant ball sailed into the arms of Kluska, Xavier flash, who quickly gathered it in and galloped 17 yards into the end zone. Two plays later flashy Bob Cum- mins again entered the scoring col- umn when he leaped high to inter- cept Robino ' s pass and ran 25 yards for the score. Creighton ' s only scoring threat came late in the third quarter when Johnny Piet started them off from the Xavier 42-yard line with a seven- yard gain on a fake pass. On the next play Piet again supplied the fireworks when he caught a flat pass from Zip- per Ziesel for 20 more. Don Barnes, Jay fullback, knocked off seven yards at center and then the Jay attack collapsed when Piet was thrown for a ten yard loss while at- tempting to pass. Two more incom- plete passes saw the end of the Creighton threat as they lost the ball on downs. While Cummins was shining in the Xavier lineup, Piet was the standout on the Creighton eleven granite block on the right end of the Bluejay line. Fritz Borak was a It was on November 13 that the scrappiest, most determined Creighton team ever to trot out on the field pushed and mauled a tough St. Louis university eleven all over the lot only to lose 7 to 6. Statistics show that Creighton outdowned the Billikens 9 to 5 and ran off 188 yards from scrimmage while the St. Louis boys were earning a bare 75. St. Louis fashioned their score after blocking a Bluejay punt on the five-yard line. Johnny Hartle, crack Billiken placekicker, sent the ball between the bars for the point that was to mean victory for St. Louis. Creighton steamrollered their way to the end zone late in the second quarter after Denny Cochran, versatile St. Louis sophomore, punted out of bounds on his own 34-yard line. Johnny Piet and Billy Ziesel alternated to make it a first down on the Bill ' s 23. Ziesel carried it off tackle for seven yards and Johnny Leahy added eight more with a center smash. Piet made a yard and, after Leahy carried it to the two-yard BP line, slipped across the goal line for six points. Lulu Lulinski, injured Jay tackle, hobbled out from the bench to try for the extra point but it was blocked and the scoreboard read 7 to 6 against Creighton. Several times during the remainder of the game Creighton threatened to score but each time they were turned back because of incomplete passes or interceptions. Gus Dorais, one of the pioneers of forward passing in American football, brought to Omaha, on November 21, a band of Detroit Titans who threw so many passes they had the Creighton defense dizzy. By completing 14 passes and polishing it off with a high-geared running attack the Titans were able to hand the Creighton lads a 48 to 7 defeat. Due to the biting cold the visitors took advantage of the warmth of their hands in the early minutes of the battle and completed the first six passes thrown. After running wild all afternoon the Detroit boys finished the track meet by scoring two touchdowns in the last three minutes, one on a 75-yard run and the other on a 56-yard finale. Creighton ' s lone score came in the second quarter. Nick Padgen, Jay center, broke through to block McDermott ' s punt and Clarence Stoffel scooped the ball up on the three yard line and sped across the goal untouched. Due to the unbalanced score the Detroit regulars weren ' t required to see much service so fans didn ' t get much of a chance to see Andy Far- kas,one of the nations leading scorers, go into his bone-crushing dance. But what they did see of Anvil Andy convinced them that he was not over- rated. Johnny Piet and Nick Padgen, Jay halfback and center respectively, lost no prestige themselves as they repeat- edly turned on the heat in the faces of the invading Titans. Thanksgiving Day found the Creighton eleven far down in Lub- bock, Texas, battling the Red Raid- ers of Texas Tech in the last game of a defeat-shattered Jay season. For 30 minutes the Bluejays pushed the home team all over the gridiron and played a Rose Bowl brand of football only to tire from the Texas heat in the last half and go down before the Red Raiders, 27 to 0. The first Texas tally was the result of an 80-yard jaunt over the left side of the line by Elmer Tarbox, Texas triple-threater. The placekick for point was true. After Bob Golonka ' s fumble of the following kickoff the Raiders took the ball on the Jay 32-yard line. On the first play Bobby Holmes scampered through the line and into the end zone for another touchdown. Minutes later Herschel Ramsey, Texas captain, blocked Johnny Piet ' s punt on the Jay 24 and Texas recovered in the end zone for the third counter. Again the try for point was between the bars. As a result of an intercepted pass late in the third canto the Texans were able to push over their final score. Neeley converted the third point after touchdown of the day and the score stood with Texas Tech on top, 27 to 0. Bright spot of the game for Creighton was the fact that they outpassed the Raiders, completing 9 out of 14 attempted passes for a total of 98 yards. The Texans completed only three aerials. Spring football practice for 1938 began with a bang March 7, with a session of ♦o St. L° u,s moving pictures and lectures in the Creighton Prep library. About 60 men were present at the meeting to greet Coach Schwartz and his new line coach Tom Kitty Gorman, a former team-mate of Schwartz at Xotre Dame. The first outdoor drill was held March 14, in the stadium. This began a six-week program of extensive practice and conditioning to put the boys in shape for the tough schedule to be played in the fall. Gorman, successor to John Polisky as line coach, played regular center at Notre Dame for three years beginning in 1932. Upon graduation he was appointed to the position of line coach for the freshman squad at his Alma Mater. After one year at Xotre Dame he journeyed south to take over the line coach job at the University of Kentucky for two years. Upon arriving in Omaha at the beginning of spring practice Gorman wasted little time getting started on his line for the coming season. He was faced with the tough problem of replacing such veterans as Fred Reif, Fritz Borak and Dick Vana, stal- warts of last year ' s line, who were all lost by graduation. Meanwhile Schwartz was weeding out the material for next years backfield. After the first week of practice he had formed two backfields that were just about evenly balanced. One backfield was composed of Piet,Golonka, Leahy and Ziesel, all veterans with one or more years of varsity service. The other was composed of four outstand- ing freshman backs who are likely to give the veterans a hard race for first string positions. The frosh backfield consisted of Fleming, Knolla, Koll and Truscott. Each week of practice wa s polished off with a full game scrimmage. Ct irst official team in 1911- 12 . . .

Included in the schedule was an ex- tensive two-week road trip to the east coast, playing some of the best basket- ball teams in the nation. Coach Eddie Hickey ' s squad was composed mainly of sophomores and juniors, the only senior on the squad being Charley Klem. Bus Monteen, an- other senior, was lost for the year when an injury received in pre-season prac- tice developed into an infection. Creighton finished fourth in the Mis- souri Valley conference race this year, winning half of their 14 games with conference teams. Individual honors for the year went to Dick Shaw, junior forward. Shaw scored 147 points in conference games to break his old record of 133 points and retain his individual conference scoring championship which he first won as a sophomore. As a result of his fine showing Shaw was chosen on the All-Missouri Valley con- ference team for his second year. At the end of the season he was chosen by his mates to succeed Roman Roh as captain of the Bluejay squad for the coming year. Captain Roh, hampered most of the season by an injury received on the eastern road trip, played exceptional ball and was chosen on the second All-Valley team. Captain Roh has one more year of varsity competition. Roman C. Roh Captain 1937-38 Varsity Squad 10 (L lie 193J-3O JJaskewaLt Season L REIGHTON ' S Bluejays opened the basketball season against South Dakota university and came out on the good end of a 47 to 38 score. Captain Roman Roh and his veteran partner. Dick Shaw, led the Jay scoring with 21 and 11 points respectively. Sophomores Kittleson, Kelley and Roach ac- counted for 11 points between them while Billy Xiesel, junior forward, contributed the other four. Mentor Eddie Hickey was very pleased with the behavior of his squad. He was especially cheered by the showing made by his somewhat green sophomores. Big Maynard Engalls, the hot shot for the Dakota boys, was handicapped by lack of cooperation on the part of his team mates. On December 20, Hickey took four juniors and six sophomores and headed east to play seven games scheduled against non-conference teams. Xot on the traveling squad was Bus Monteen, two- year veteran. An injury received in practice developed into an infected finger and put an untimely end to Monteen ' s basketball for the year. The unfortunate loss of Monteen was a severe blow to Creighton hopes but Hickey hoped to whip the team in shape for coming conference battles by lots of play on the road trip. Creighton ' s first game of the road trip series was with DePaul university. Roh and Shaw again were the fair haired boys for the Jays as they led the way to a 44 to 37 victory over the Chicagoans. Shaw scored 18 points and Roh countered 16, while Barnes and Ziesel were putting in the rest. Kayo Robino, sophomore guard, was the bright defensive light in the Blue lineup. Marshall Kittle- son, also a sophomore, showed much improvement over his first game and looked like a certain first string member for the remainder of the season. Western State Teachers, nationally famous for their basketball, handed the Jays their first de- feat of the season when they squeezed out a meager 39 to 36 victory. Roh and Shaw gathered 27 points between them but the rest of the Jays just couldn ' t click enough to make up the three point difference. Coach Hickey ' s men piled up a substantial lead in the first quarter but midway in the second : period the Teachers began closing up the gap. As the game went on it began to look bad for the Blues. Despite the fact that the Western Staters couldn ' t seem to miss in the last half, they barely nosed out the sturdy Creighton men in the last few minutes. Next on the list came the fast-stepping Ohio State quint, a tall team with an air tight defense and a Houdini offense. The Staters ran over the Jays for four long quarters and handed our heroes a 31 to 17 set-back. Roh and Shaw were held to one basket apiece by the Buckeyes and the rest of the Omahans had just as hard a time finding the range. It was in this game that Hickey ' s fears about inexperience and lack of talent among his sopho- mores came to light. He had long known that the time would come when Roh and Shaw, his two mainstays, would be bottled up by the opposition and had hoped that some of his first year men would be able to step into the breach. Creighton hit its stride two days later against Syracuse university, one of the finest teams in the east, only to go down in defeat 56 to 39 after playing the best floor game of the year. Shaw piled up 14 points and Roh swished the net for 10 before the evening ' s play was over. When Dick Shaw left the floor in the final minutes of the game he received the finest ovation ever accorded a visiting player at Syracuse university. Creighton had the best team play of the year as Barnes, Englebretson, Kittleson and Roach all found their way into the scoring column. St. Thomas college in Scranton was next to hand the Blues a defeat when they poured on a polished offense and won 44 to 34. Shaw and Roh got 10 and 9 points respectively while Barnes, Ziesel, Engel- bretson, Kittleson and Robino were contributing the rest. Next game saw the Creighton boys lose again by a 10 point margin when they went down before the St. Joseph ' s college quint 50 to 40. Shaw and Roh split 28 points between them but the highlight of the contest was Marshall Kittleson ' s stellar play. He collected eight points and was a constant worry to his hosts with his exhibition of ball-hawking. Playing the last game of their eastern invasion the Jays, fired by the spirit of revenge, handed Xavier university a 34 to 29 de- feat in payment of the suffering the Blue football team took at the hands of the Xavier boys last fall. It was a ding-dong battle )AH S fetutv all the way with the score tied five times and the lead changing hands 13 times during the course of the evening. Seven of the boys on the basketball squad had also played on the ill-fated Creighton football team on that sad November day when the Xavierans handed the Blues a 19 to set-back. So these seven, helped by Roh and Shaw, put the skids under their proud hosts and poured on the heat. Upon returning from the tough eastern trek the battle-scarred Jays got in town just in time to tangle with the big, fast Uni- versity of California five. With Captain Roh ' s shoulder in band- ages the Blues put up a good battle but lost 41 to 35. Besides Roh ' s injury more woe was heaped on Mentor Hickey because of the fact that Asa Kelley, reserve center, was also unfit for service because of an injured arm. Roh was switched back to guard and Bob Koberg, a sophomore, was tried at the pivot position but to no avail. Shaw played his usual brand of good ball and connected for eight points. Tulsa university supplied the fireworks for the Hickeymen in their first Valley game and beat the hard-fighting Jays in a thriller that ended 33 to 32. Roh ' s injured shoulder kept his scoring down to one field goal but Shaw found the range for 10 points and Kittleson came through with six. Billy Ziesel came through in this game with his finest floor game to date. Kittleson and Barnes also looked good with six and five points respectively. Jones, classy Tulsa forward, gave the Creighton fans a fine exhibition of magic ball-handling. But the Jays fought their way back in the conference race when they journeyed to St. Louis and beat Washington university 38 to 34 in another hard battle. Against the Bears, Shaw looked like the stuff with 15 points and Kittleson continued to improve with 14 points after his name. Roh, still bothered by his injured shoulder, accounted for only four points with Barnes, Ziesel and Klem making up the balance. Kelley was still out of suit because of his injured shoulder. Next evening found the Hickeymen, still in St. Louis, beating St. Louis university 43 to 31. Despite his injured shoulder, Roh got back into stride with 12 points while Shaw topped all scoring with 20 points for his total. Kittleson and Ziesel played perfect floor games, splitting 10 points between them. Back on their own court the Blues, again with the spirit of revenge in their hearts, took on and P ft r ,, :;:. ■-■.., !; - ' ' conquered Kansas State, 44 to 39. Remembering last Homecoming ' s humiliation on the gridiron, the seven basket-tossing footballers, with the help of Dick Shaw, wasted little time in starting in on the Wildcats. Shaw nonchalantly dropped in 22 points and Kittleson did no harm to his average as he played faultless ball and polished it off with 12 points. Creighton again handed the St. Louis university boys a 12 point set-back when they won 36 to 24 on the Omaha court. Captain Roh, playing at guard, looked like a million as he made 10 points from his barricading position. Kittleson ' s eight points was next high total. Creighton started slowly against the St. Louis five but in the second canto the boys in blue began finding the range and from then on it was all Creighton. Ten Creighton men found their way into the scoring column in this game, making it a very gala affair. The Oklahoma Aggies, defending conference champions, ran into more trouble than they expected against the Jays but the Cowboys won 37 to 35 in an extra period. At the end of the regulation playing time the score was tied at 31 to 31. During the overtime period the Cowboys scored twice to the Jay ' s once and won the ball game. Roh, still playing at guard, swished the net for 16 points, some of them from way in the court. Shaw broke through enough times to score 10 points, while Ziesel helped the cause along with six points. The following week found the Hickeymen, again on the Pullmans, playing the Grinnell Pioneers on their cracker-box floor. Despite the scarcity of space the Hilltoppers handed the Pioneers a 34 to 28 humiliation. Kittleson ran up 10 points for high scoring honors, followed by Shaw with eight and Ziesel with seven. Roh and Robino, at the guard posts, held the roving Pioneers in check most of the evening and didn ' t give them many chances at the pay hoop. Drake, the following Monday night, held Shaw and Roh to a measly two points apiece and ran off with a 45 to 31 victory. Kittleson was the shining light in the Blue lineup with 12 points while the rest of the Jays were cold on the offensive and ragged on the defensive. Creighton was behind most of the way and didn ' t threaten the Bulldogs to any great extent. Still on the road, the Jays lost a 36 to 32 contest to Wash- burn, the only team which holds an all time edge over Creighton. Dick Shaw ' s eye functioned for a good 10 points but it wasn ' t good enough to keep the Washburn boys from piling up a four point superiority. At this point in the campaign Creighton found itself in fourth position but still in the upper half of the conference standings. The Oklahoma Aggies were leading the league, with Drake second and Tulsa third. Grinnell ranked fifth with Washington and Washburn tied for sixth and St. Louis far down in the eighth place cellar. Creighton tangled next with Oklahoma A. M., again cham- pionship bound, and lost a thrilling 37 to 30 battle. The air-tight cowboys held Shaw to four points and proved they were the class of the league as they passed like Ail- Americans and made good on most of their shots. Roh clicked for eight points and Kittleson played good ball while pushing in seven points. The third game of the road series found the Jays losing a 41 to 38 dicision to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Shaw was high man with 11 points but it was Kayo Robino, Jay guard, who brought cheer into the hearts of Creighton followers. He scored five points and proved to be the key man in the Creighton lineup for the evening. This made two defeats for the Jays at the hands of the Tulsans who had, earlier in the season, handed the Hilltoppers a close 33 to 32 defeat. Still smarting from the disastrous road trip, the Jays took it out on Washington university and showed no mercy as they ran up a 48 to 30 victory. The game was one of the highlights of the season for team performance. Shaw added 12 points to his season ' s total and Roh looked like a winner with 10 points after his name. The victory was so decisive that Hickey substituted everybody but the water- boy into the Creighton lineup. Creighton followed the Washington victory with a 48 to 46 hairline decision over the Grinnell Pioneers. Again Robino proved to be an asset as he started things from his guard post and chalked up eight points for the Blue cause. Shaw was the chief offensive threat with 11 counters. Roh and Kittleson both tied Robino for second high scoring honors with eight points apiece. Marquette ' s Golden Avalanche, coming to Creighton with a sensational season ' s record, barely nosed out the Jays in one of the best games of the year, ending 33 to 32. The game was close all the •it; if t ' t | 9 J „•% tm Marquette way and the winning basket didn ' t come until the final moments of play. Roh played his usual brilliant floor game and led the Creighton attack with 11 points. Before coming to Omaha Marquette had polished off such powerful teams as Notre Dame, North- western, Wisconsin, Kentucky, Western State and Chicago university. Creighton, despite this loss still holds an all-time record of winning 18 games from the Avalanche while losing only 11. Led by Roh and Shaw, the Hickeymen nosed out a last second victory over the Drake Bulldogs, 40 to 39. Trailing by one point with only 15 seconds to play, Creighton entered the win column when Asa Kelley, reserve center, twirled a one-hander through the hoop for the winning points. Against the Bulldogs Shaw ran away with scoring honors with 17 points and Roh was sweet as sugar with 13. Kelley, hero of the game, had just recently recovered from a severe shoulder injury received earlier in the season. Washburn again proved to be too much for the Jays in the final game of the year when the visit- ing five handed the tired Hickeymen a 55 to 48 defeat. Bright spot of the game was Dick Shaw who scored 11 points to set a new conference scoring record of 147 points and retained his individual scor- ing crown for another year. Kittleson said goodbye to his first year of varsity competition by scoring 14 points while Vinson Roach finished the season almost as well with 10 counters as his contribution to the Creighton cause. After playing the longest schedule in Creighton history, the basketball team found itself in fourth place in the Missouri Valley conference race. The Jays won seven of their 14 games against Valley foes. This was the lowest that any Creighton team has finished since the Blues first entered the Missouri Valley conference. The Oklahoma Aggies successfully defended their conference championship by winning 14 of their 15 conference games. The only Valley team to hand the Cowboys a defeat was Grinnell, who played inspired ball against the Oklahomans during a mid- season battle. Drake university finished in second place in the league with 10 wins out of 14 games. Earlier in the season the Bulldogs had made a serious bid for first place honors, but after losing to Creighton and Washburn, the Drake boys were satisfied with ;Atf the second best spot. Tulsa university gained the third spot in the league by virtue of one more win than Creighton. The Tulsans finished the season with eight wins and six losses. Grinnell tied with Creighton for fourth place as the Pioneers won seven and lost seven. In sixth place was Washburn university, the team that beat Creighton twice, who lost eight of 14 games. Seventh place in the Valley race was held by Washington university who ended up on the good side of only three of 14 encounters. In the cellar was St. Louis university who suffered 12 losses while winning only two games. Although Creighton didn ' t win the conference title, they still have possession of the individual scor- scoring championship. Dick Shaw, diminutive Jay forward, captured the scoring championship for the second year in a row. He also broke the all-time record which he set last year. In this year ' s 14 con- ference games, Shaw scored 147 points to go 14 points over his old record. As a result of his fine showing Shaw was chosen at a forward position on the All-Missouri Valley conference team for his second year. Captain Roman Roh. handicapped all year by a shoulder in- jury, was still good enough to get a berth on the second honor squad. At a meeting of next year ' s squad, Shaw was chosen to succeed Roh as Creighton basketball cap- tain. With the beginning of spring basketball practice all indications were that Creighton would have one of the best teams next winter to ever wear the white and blue. Ony one member of this year ' s squad will be lost by graduation. This is Charley Klem who has played three years of varsity basketball. Besides having most of the squad back next winter, the ranks will be bolstered by such promising freshman cagers as Delbert Case, Leo Seib and Don Fleming. Coach Eddie Hickey planned to put in several weeks of extensive spring drill to brush the boys up on their fundamentals and put them in shape for next year ' s court battles. « ■ jr i 1 : ■ 3 . ate back to earliest days of school . . .

[jresnman ijooloali J.F the 1937 Freshman football team was any indication of what the varsity might be like next year, CreightOD university ' s gridiron worries are over. Coach Duce Kelford ' s young Jays proved time and again through the year that they were by far the best frosh squad ever to play under the Blue and White. Led by a powerful baekfield. consisting of Don Fleming, John Knolla. Norbert Koll and Al Trus- cott, the yearling squad had little trouble winning both of their games and even put the skids under Marchie Schwartz ' s varsity club on several occasions. Against the Drake university yearlings the C ' reighton boys ran wild as they piled up a 75 to humiliation of the young Bulldogs. Every man in the Jay baekfield scored at least once. Even the guards got in on the scoring, scoring 14 points. John Krejci collected eight of the points by place-kicking extra points, while Walter Idziak got the other six when he took a lateral pass from Fleming and crossed the goal standing up. Two weeks later the young Blues won a 27 to 13 victory over the Kearney Teacher squad after being behind 17 to 7 at the half. Early in the third period the Jays went ahead when a pass from Gene Ziesel to Jack Pease was good for a touchdown and John Krejci converted. In the fourth quarter Creighton put the game on ice when John Knolla plunged for the third score and Krejci again put the extra point between the bars. Robert Zuercher assisted Belford in coaching the yearling squad during the season. John J.

The first year men breezed through the first half of their season without once feeling the sting of defeat, winning all the games by margins of at least 30 points. They first suffered defeat at the hands of the Omaha university Frosh when the Municipal U. boys barely nosed them out in the final minutes of a game played on the Central High school floor. But two weeks later the Creighton yearlings evened the score with Omaha university when they beat them handily on the Creighton court. The only other team to beat the first year men was the Alumni Immortal squad composed of former varsity Hilltoppers. It was a hard-fought battle all the way but the stars of yester-year, led by Cornie Collin and Box Engelbretson, finally squeezed out a five-point margin. Standouts for the season were Delbert Case, former Council Bluffs star, and Leo Sieb, Evansville, Ind., luminary, who vied all season for scoring honors and both finished well over the century mark. Other members of this year ' s Frosh squad were Captain Jacob Van Berkum, Gene Ziesel, John Reilly, Dan Kelly, John Knolla, Don Fleming, Ralph Garry, and Dick Tuite. Below are pictured members of the 1937-38 squad. Jacob Van Berkum Captain Freshman Basketball Squad 115 1878 - 1938 - untramural Jjaskewau Intramural basketball, running a dose second to the varsity quint in campus in- terest, went through its most successful season in the history of Creighton under the able direction of J. V. ' I Him Belford, working in cooperation with the athletic department. Belford. assisted by Nick I ' opa. organized three leagues including the Inter-fraternity, National Open and American Open leagues. Included in the Enter-fraternity league were the following teams: Phi Chi, defending champions. Phi Beta Pi. Gamma Eta Gamma, Delta Theta Phi. Xi Psi Phi. Alpha Chi Kappa. Delta Sigma Pi. Phi Rho Sigma and Phi Kpsilon. These nine teams made up the largest fraternity league ever to take part in intramural basketball. Kight teams vied for honors in each of the Open leagues. The National Open league consisted of the following teams: the Apexes. Independents, Ramblers. Four Rahs. Fighting Irish, Commerce Sodality, Dowling Blues and Press Club. Entrants in the American Open league were: the Orioles, defending champions, 620 Club. Dowling Reds. Ballaklava Club, Pharmacy, Collegiate C lub, Faux Pas and Mauro ' s. Rules for this season ' s play were slightly different from those of former years. No team was allowed to use any member of the Freshman basketball squad. In the past, teams could use one player from the frosh squad but none from the varsity. J. V. V i i oRD Oiret in ' 620 Club: Rowland, Hanten, Dahlman, McGillicuddy, Hall, Crilly, J. Tierney 116 Sixtieth Anniversary Players were allowed to play on more than one team as long as they didn ' t play on two teams in the same league. Each player had to be a regu- larly enrolled student of the university. If a team failed to show up within 30 minutes of the sche- duled game time it were forced to forfeit the con- test. During the varsity basketball season intramu- rals had to take a back se at and play only on the nights that the gym wasn ' t being used by Mr. Hickey ' s Big Five. But with the conclusion of varsity play all three leagues swung into fast action frequently playing on as many as five nights a week. Sunday afternoon games proved to be as popu- lar as last year and often drew the largest num- ber of spectators. Usually it was arranged so that the three leagues each played on a different Sun- day, thereby giving the various teams a chance to look over their future opponents. After completing the first three rounds several teams proved that they had something on the ball and would be up among the leaders when the final reckoning came. In the Inter-fraternity league the Phi Chi quint, gunning for their second consecu- tive championship, looked like a coach ' s dream as they won overwhelming victories over Alpha Chi Kappa and Phi Rho Sigma. Tom Golden s Apexes, the Independents and the Press Club were tied in a knot for the high spot in the Xational Open league with three impressive victories apiece. In the American Open league the Orioles, defending their university championship, were neck and neck with the 620 Club in the race for undisputed possession of the top. Nick Popa Assistant Director Dowling: Fromm, Morrow, Curran, Saucer, Mura 117 1878 - 1938 Alpha Chi Kappa vi knus Pri ss Club Both teams went through the initial three rounds without feeling the sting of defeat. As the end of the playing season came in sight the top ranking teams in all three leagues began turning on the heat in the effort to place themselves in the final tourna- ment to decide the All-University champion. In the Fraternity league the race for the high spot had narrowed down to Phi Chi and Phi Epsilon, both undefeated teams, who were scheduled to meet in the final Fraternity game to decide the championship. Close on their heels was Phi Beta Pi who were practically a cinch for a tournament berth in view of its record of only one defeat in seven games. With the undefeated Press Club leading the National Open league, and the Inde- pendents and Apexes tied for second with one loss apiece, it was left up to the news- boys to win the final game from the Apexes to gain the championship. Press Club: Burden, Lee, Biglin, Lusienski, Belman, Popa, Gauthier 118 - Sixtieth Anniversary —r 620 Club vlrsus Dowling Ri ds Going into the last round the Orioles led the American Open league by virtu e of their undefeated season. Tied for second place were the 620 Club and the Dowling Reds with one loss apiece. In the final league game of the year the Press Club gained undisputed possession of the National Open crown by defeating Tom Golden ' s Apexes in a nip and tuck battle, ending 19 to 16. In second place were the Independents with only one loss while close on their heels was the Apex five with two losses. These three teams were chosen to represent the National Open league in the All-university championship tourney. Phi Chi won in the Fraternity league for the second year in a row when they handed Phi Epsilon their first defeat of the year in a high scoring 40 to 33 contest. This put Phi Epsilon in second place while Phi Beta Pi also gained a place in the tournament Phi Chi: B.

Due to a first place tie between the 620 Club and the Dowling Reds the American Open league failed to produce an individual champion. The tied-up first placers each finished their season with only one defeat, marring otherwise perfect records. The third team to gain a place in the tournament from this league were the Orioles who slipped up in their last game of the season and lost to the 620 Club 40 to 28. Thus nine teams qualified for the All-university tourney. But due to the fact that the Press Club and Phi Epsilon were one and the same team the future editors decided to let the Press Club, champion of the National Open league, carry the tourney burden for the school of journalism. t a meeting in the athletic department offices, Director Duse Belford supervised the drawings for the elimination affair. Phi Chi and the Press Club were seeded in positions one and eight respectively. As a result of the drawing Phi Chi drew the 620 Club as their first opponent. The Orioles were to tangle with Phi Beta Pi in the second game of the upper bracket. Independents: Whelan, Manganaro, Benedetto, Ruiz, O ' Loughlin, Vasconcellos, Donich, Mangimelli 120 - Sixtieth Anniversary Coracle vlfcv jl OR the first time in several years Creighton university has prospects of being re- presented in local and sectional track and field meets by a strong team wearing the white and the blue. According to Coach Dexter Jones, 25 men reported for duty the first week. Of the 25 men many had exceptional ability and enviable high school records behind them. The first week of practice revealed the fact that Creighton would have a well-balanced team that should hold its own with most of the other schools in the Mis- souri V alley conference. One of the most promising men on the squad was Jack Saggau, sprint star from Dennison, la. Saggau holds the Iowa high school record in the 100-yard dash, running the century in 9.7 seconds in his senior year. Several other prospects specializing in the sprints were also turning in time of under 10 seconds for the 100-yard dash. These included Austin Schill, Harold Blood, and Carrol Goss. Wil- bur Westfall, former Omaha Benson High track star, appeared to be the class of the prospects in the pole vault. Paul Ecklund showed up in practice as the best of the long distance men. With the ending of spring football practice April 23, Jones anticipated the report- ing of several expert weight men. Among the footballers. Ray Broneman, Bob Hoff- man, and Don Barnes seemed the most likely to succeed in the weight events. Creighton was to be represented in several major meets during the months of April and May. Dexter D.

Five wins were chalked up in the first eight matches while the other three were rt on schedule when The Bluejay went to press. Seventy-two candidates reported to Major Wilfred R. Higgins, commandant of the Creigh- ton R.O.T.C. By a process of elimination the 72 hopefuls were narrowed down to a squad of 13 sharpshooters. Gene Clark captained the team until early in the second semester when he received his appointment to Randolph Field, Texas, as a member of the Flying Cadets. Upon Clark ' s departure Major Higgins named Henry A. Fitz- gibbon as captain for the remainder of the season. Other members of the squad included Sebastian Campagna, John Verschoor, John Leahy, Dick Cook, Richard Grabow, Kenneth Rayhorn, Warren Schrempp, John Krejoi, Warren Hughes, Dan Kelly and Martin Harris. The team competed in the annual Seventh Corps Area small bore meet and also entered the annual Hearst Intercollegiate R.O.T.C. meet. Both were conducted on the postal system of competition. Early in the season Gene Clark shot the record score of the year when he garnered 188 out of a possible 200 points.

Cshe Jjluejaij J_ keeping with the six- tieth anniversary of the founding of Creighton university, The 1938 Wu - jay has attempted to portray the vari- ous stages in the development o! Creighton. The opening section depicts the first steps taken by the Creighton brothers in amassing the fortune, part of which was later used f  r laying the founda- tion of a school which later became Creighton university. By means of drawings the progress of the school is pictured through its embryonic stages to the present day, represented by the installation of the Rev. Joseph P. Zuer- cher, S. J., as president of the univer- sity. This anniversary theme was carried out in the border, main division and sub-division pages. Every sub-division page car- ries several lines of copy concerning the devlopment of the department which it in- troduces. The printed matter was written in a brief, concise style, merely emphasizing those points that possess outstanding historical significance. Stressing student life and student activity, the board of editors of The 1938 Bluejay attempted at all times to give credit and due appreciaion to all those students and faculty members who have participated in university functions. Because various departments and activities have expanded during the school year. 1 Ol IS V Si mi k J ttot R. Pape D. Amsden W.Lee H. Zelinsky 124 Sixtieth A miivcrsary more pages and new sections were cre- ated in order to focus more attention on them. For example, since minor sports have played a greater part in the athletic program on the campus, new pages were added to the intramural sec- tion and a special page was devoted to track. When the dummy of The Blue jay was drawn, it was the purpose of the board to make its page layouts in such a manner as to eliminate as much copy as possible. It is the feeling of the staff that the primary interest in the book lies in its pictures. Last year candid pictures were used for the first time in The Blur jay. Because of its popular- ity, this idea was again used and en- larged upon. It spread to other sec- tions of the book where its use was practical. Probably the outstanding innova- tion this year was the use of tilted pictures. The action shots of both the football and basketball games and players lend a more modernistic touch and informal tone to the book. Mr. Joseph P. Murphy was the adviser for the 1938 Bluejay staff. The staff included: Louis A. Seminara, editor; Harold Zelinsky, associate editor; Willis Lee, sports editor; Don Amsden, assistant editor, Raymond Pape, assistant editor; Jay Hreen and Betty Blackburne, copy writers; Stanlay Rychly, snapshot editor; Bill Parker, advertising manager, and Eileen Connelly, senior adviser.

The Creightonian, official school weekly publication, again seems on its way to the honor in 1938. Ccint inning to employ the metropolitan- daily system in writing and editing campus news, it carried on the policy of offering to each student a practical education in journalism. In a successful effort to avoid the bugaboo of all newspapers, sameness, The Creightonian instituted the newest methods in streamlined headings and makeup. Also the streamlined motif was carried out in reporting and writing news stories; accuracy and speed were stressed to the reporting staff. A large class of freshmen journalists were appointed as reporters on the staff, and were required to turn in a least one story for each issue. Sophomores and juniors were chosen as copy readers and were assigned regular hours to sit around the copy desk. Their work consisted of editing, heading, and rewriting stories turned in by freshmen reporters. The editors of The Creightonian were chosen from members of the sophomore, junior and senior classes. Special competitive issues aroused keen rivalry between the opposing staffs and were subjects of debate on the campus as to the relative merits of competing publications. In the third annual frosh-soph contest the second year staff made it two straight, since Fames C. Keogh Mtntging Editor Neill R.

Again girls tested their skill in writing editorials and sports stories, while the boys at- tempted delivering the usual Clothes Horse column and tea ' n ' cake copy for the society page. The all-girls staff headed by Marcia Dillon was the vic- tor in this contest over the men ' s staff managed by Dave Belman. Decisions on all these competing issues were awarded on speed and ac- curacy, predominantly. Also taken into consideration in selecting the winners was ability shown in news coverage, headline writing, and make-up. Judges for the frosh-soph edition were: Acting Direc- tor S. A. Mahuran, Marion McClintock and Paul Gauthier. The regular staff consisted of: James Keogh, managing editor; Ernest Xeill, city editor; Leo Dippel, sports editor; Vincent Thillen, make-up editor and circulation manager; Regina McDermott, society editor; William O ' Hollaren, editorial writer; Majorie Rynaski, feature editor; Helen Milister, radio editor; and Ed Lusienski, columnist. At the beginning of the second semester Paul Gauthier took over the duties of the city editor and Helen Milistefr those of the society editor. Stuart A.

It is edited and published by the students of the university. Shadows is made up of essays, stories, play- lets, sketches, poetry, editorials and general com- ments. The editors gain a working knowledge of editing and making-up a magazine besides obtain- ing experience in writing. The primary objective of the magazine is to inspire and encourage liter- ary efforts on the part of Creighton students The staff is selected on the basis of capability and willingness and is composed of a board of three editors. They are known as associate editors who suggest topics to prospective con- tributors 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 board of editors, each of whom was an associate editor, included: Joan Finley, James Gleason. and Gertrude Martin. Contributors to the 1938 editions of the quarterly magazine were: James Keogh.

The Creighton Alumnus, has as its chief purpose the disseminating of alumni news among Creighton alumni. The magazine helps to draw alumni from coast to coast into a more closely organized group, as it keeps them informed as to what their classmates are doing and where they are located. More than doubling its size in the last 10 years, the Alumnus is now published in 16-page editions. However, on special occasions it has ap- peared with as many as 24 pages. The Alumnus is published monthly from October to June, nine issues a year, and is sent free of charge to all graduates and former students whose classes have been graduated. Expense of the publication is borne by the general alumni fund, maintained by the yearly Alumni Loyalty Fund drive. The promotion of this drive is, in turn, carried on through the columns of the magazine as are other alumni projects including the annual Homecoming, student loan funds, drives for scholarships, the annual football ticket campaign and the University Alumni spring convocation. 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 projects. Articles covering progress by the university in its various schools and colleges are reported in the columns of the magazine. Hugh M. Higgins Editor ' Alumnus Board of Editors 129 1878 - 1938 C lie Ojo-Jjumui J.HK Creighton University Adver- tising bureau was established in 1936 under the progressive policy of the school of journalism. The bureau was organized and has continued under the direction of Joseph I ' . Murphy, busi- ness manager of the school and Stanley Rychly, and William Parker, student managers. The purpose of the bureau has been to set The Creightonian and The Bin jay on a sound financial basis. As student publication fees make up for about one-fifth of the expense incurred by the publication throughout the year, enough advertising must be sold to take care of the de- ficit. The bureau also aims to place The Creigh- tonian 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. The bureau also serves as a workshop for students whose primary interest is adver- tising. By actual experience, the student learns the advertiser ' s point of view.

A public address system was installed, enabling radio speech students to speak into a mike in one room and be heard, under actual broadcasting conditions, in another room by fellow students. Also, new super-sensitive microphones were installed as regular equipment. Additions to the types of programs offered were: radio-dramatized playlets, given by Creighton students, and musical hour programs, presented by university organiza- tions and musicians.

This club evolved finally into the Creighton Players and the Little Theatre. Membership in the Creighton Play- ers can be won only by a registered student whose name has appeared in any capacity whatsoever on a Creigh- ton play program. There is no formal organization. When a play is to be cast, public tryouts are announced, and all characters are chosen from those who appear for the tryout, regardless of the amount of talent present. Also, inso- far as it is practicable, no player is cast twice in the same season. All this makes for a democratic system of casting plays. In 1934 the Players became the Creighton Little Theatre, with the purpose of de- veloping creative talent in all dramatic departments. A play contest led to the success- ful production of The Pride of the Madigans , a three-act comedy, by Thomas Leddy. Lewis Bead ' s comedy The Goose Hangs High created laughs, tears, and sighs on the Creighton Little Theatre stage. The plot of the story centered around the exterior, selfish attitude toward parents that is shown by the younger generation until they are made to realize by near-tragedy in the family how deep parential love is, and how much has been sacrificed for them.

The best compliment that could be given to them was the re- mark heard from critics, that the pair seemed to forget their true selves in the artistry of their acting. The cast in- cluded: Daniel Murphy as Noel Derby; Austin Schill as Leo Day; Edna Buch- holz as Rhoda; Phi His Hill as Julia Murdoch; Marie Grieb as Mrs. Brad- ley; Henry Bristowe as Hugh Ingals; Robert Prentiss as Ronald Murdoch; Berniece Scott as Lois Ingals; Hugh Fitzpatrick as Bradley Ingals; Eileen Mulick as Dagmar Carroll; and Thomas O ' Connor as Elliott Kimberley.

Other members of the production staff were: Richard Cough- lin, business manager; Robert Burke, stage manager; Charles Page, proper- ties; Chester Fisher and Edward Mit- chell, make-up, and John Daly, head usher. The Bluejay goes to press too soon to catch more than the early try-outs of the 1938 Bluejay Revue, under the direction of Father Herbers, assisted by Florence Johnson, dancing instructor. The Revue is scheduled for production in the middle of May. Judging from the amount of new talent the Revue will equal or even top last year ' s. This will complete a season which for enthusiasm and achievement has seldom been equalled in the varied history of the Players. 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.

' 937-3 8 JJebate S T eason HE Creighton univer- sity 1937-38 debate squad, directed by the Rev. James F. Orford, S. J., fo r the first time, achieved an enviable record by winning 11 debates out of 17 de- cision contests. Ten other non-decision debates, the invitational tournament at Iowa City, Iowa, and the annual Delta Sigma Rho tournament completed the extensive schedule. The squad was made up of six men : Robert Henatsch, arts junior; John Hedrick, law sophomore; Gail Burke, law freshman; John Kerrigan, law sophomore; Robert Mullin, arts sopho- more and Leonard Leon, arts junior. Robert Henatsch was debate manager of the squad and John Hedrick was captain. Father Orford succeeded Charles F. Bongardt, professor of law, as coach and di- rector of debate last fall and made his first year an impressive one. During the course of the season, two subjects were discussed, the question of the Advisability of Uni- cameralism and resolved, That the National Labor Relations Board Should Be En-powered to Enforce Arbitration of All Industria l Disputes. Mullin and Henatsch opened the season January 30 on the question of unicam- eralism, at Hastings college. Two debates were held; one was an evening affair in the R i v. James F. Orford Director Robert Mullin Gail Burke Leonard Leon John Kerrigan 138 Sixtieth Anniversary school auditorium, the other a noon discussion before a local businessmen ' s group. No decision was given in either contest, but the university team ac- credited itself favorably in the first en- counter of the year. All other debates were on the sub- ject of the National Relations Board. Brigham Young university ' s de- baters paid a visit to Creighton Febru- ary 9, and were defeated by Henatsch and Hedrick before the Optimist ' s club, a noon-day business organization of Omaha. March 2, the Hastings College team returned Creig hton ' s earlier visit and journeyed to Omaha to meet Burke and Kerrigan on the National Labor question in a non-decision debate. The debate was before an audience of Creighton students in moot court. The next event on the debate cal- endar was the invitation tournament at Iowa City, Iowa, March 4 and 5. Burke, Ker- rigan, Mullin and Leon carried Creighton ' s colors to the tournament and emerged with three victories out of six starts. Mullin and Leon defeated the University of South Dakota and Carleton college but lost to Alabama, Notre Dame, and Iowa university. Burke and Kerrigan meanwhile covered themselves with glory by handing Texas uni- versity its only defeat of the tournament. Rockhurst college of Kansas City, Mo., was the next foe of the Bluejays, Henatsch and Hedrick appearing in the debate before the Traffic club of Kansas City. No decision Robert Henatch Debate Manager Henatch and Hedrick in Action 139 — 1878 - 1938 was given but a lively discussion was stimulated. Creighton upheld the af- firmative of the compulsory arbitration question. The University of Nebraska and Creighton tangled before a local club in Council Bluffs in another non-de- cision debate, March 10. Kerrigan and Hedrick took the negative side of the question. Wednesday, March 23, the entire squad journeyed east for a series of three non-decision debates. Henatsch and Hedrick were the guests of Rock- ford college of Rockford, 111., and met Rockford debaters before St. Thomas High school. Mullin and Leon engaged in a discussion with DePaul university of Chicago, while Burke and Kerrigan met Rosary college of River Forest, 111. After these skirmishes, the three teams assembled at Madison, Wise., March 25, to participate in the annual Delta S igma Rho tournament. Seven victories in nine battles was the record compiled by the Hilltop arguers, enabling them to win second place in the tourney. The University of Wisconsin beat them out of first place by the slim margin of one victory. Kerrigan and Burke defeated teams from Wayne university, Marquette and Knox college. Leon and Mullin won decisions over Carroll college, Western State Teachers and Purdue teams. Henatsch and Hedrick vanquished Western Reserve and then lost to Wisconsin and Albion college. The team ' s success in the tournament was marked as the best showing a Creighton debate squad has made in recent years.

During the symposium, talks were given every Sunday for fourteen weeks from 4 to 5 p.m., in the Law building. The theme of the enterprise was The Need of the Na- tion Is an Knlightened Electorate. The discussion of such questions as the philosophy of government, the constitution, economics, social welfare, agriculture, food and drug relations, labor and other timely subjects were all designed toward the fulfillment of that goal. The success of this experiment showed the further need for an extension of the idea and the Creighton University Speakers bureau was organized as a result. Certain faculty members were selected to speak by President Mahan and an outline of their respective speeches was published and sent to every type of organi- W. W. Keenan Dr. C. L. Kenny L. H.

On the first page of the published catalog appears a foreword extending a cordial invitation to take advantage of this service and an expression of the aims and ideals of the organi- zation. It reads as follows: For more than 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 Uni- versity Speakers bureau, whose members have been se- lected from faculties of our variou§ schools and colleges. All are men of proven ability; all have done extensive and exhaustive study in their fields; all of them, I be- lieve, have messages of importance and interest to our fellow mid- westerners. Program chairmen for any organization need only se- lect the speaker they prefer and communicate directly with him either by mail or telephone. Unless they are put to unusual expense for travel, there is no charge whatever for this service. All lectures are already prepared and can be given Rev. G. H. FitzGibbon, S.J. Rev. J. A.

Walsh convenience of the presid- ing officer who will introduce the speaker. Pictures or newspaper cuts of the speakers may be secured from the office of the Speakers bureau free of charge for publicity purposes. Hundreds of speeches have been given to almost every type of audience before every type of organization. In addition to these, the members have been called on to speak at conventions, churches, colleges and synagogues. Records kept of the audiences to which these men have spoken show that more than 200,000 persons have listened to their speeches. In the course of this work, members have traveled as far as Denver and Chicago to give talks. Dates for speakers have been reserved as far ahead as seven months in advance. Approximately forty speakers, laymen and clergy number the ranks of the bureau this year. Aiming to build up the university in the public mind as a thought center, professors usually discuss topics of contemporary interest. Closing its fourth season of operation, the bureau has already added immeasurably to the prestige and standing of the Creighton in Omaha and surrounding territory. Frank E.

Spiritual J ife JL ) AID in the spiritual development of the individual as well as providing the material benefits of education is the ideal and the goal of Creighton university and towards the attainment of this end the curriculum is planned. To maintain the standards of a Catholic seat of learning, there are stu- dent organizations and planned activi- ties for the promotion of student spiri- tual life besides the regular classes in philosophy and moral training. The center of all these activities and organizations is the Creighton Sodality of Our Lady. The sodality, under the aegis of the Immaculate Conception and of St. Aloysius, particular patron of students, is the axis around which the campus spiritual life revolves. The aim of the sodality is the moral 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 student 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- Rev. Francis G. Deglman Spiritual Counsellor Spiritual Council 146 Sixtieth Anniversary versity sodality forms the University Sodality union. This union combined with the Union of High School sodal- ities constitutes the Omaha Sodality union. At the head of the Omaha union for the year was Harold Lebens, as- sisted by Ray Fuxa, and Gertrude Martin. Outstanding event of the year, from sodalists ' point of view, was the two- day Regional Sodality convention held for the first time at Creighton, March 12-13. Sponsored by the Omaha Sodality union, the convention played host to students from all Catholic schools in the dioceses of Omaha, Lincoln, Grand Island, Des Moines, Sioux City, Wino- na, Sioux Falls, and St. Paul. Three general sessions were held each day with the remainder of the time being devoted to panel discus- sions, the subjects of which were determined by student interest on different matters. General director of the convention was the Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S.J., outstanding journalist and author. Father Lord is also editor of the Queen ' s Work, official sodality publication, but Creighton upperclassmen will best remember him as director of the student retreat in January, 1936. Added convention entertainment was the three-act hill-billy play, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, presented in Creighton ' s auditorium, Saturday evening. The annual retreat, held from January 26 to 28, was second only to the convention Rev. Joseph A. Herbers, S.J. Department Head - itolT.Jhfc f«n- r«[ T T f f ! $ fl ' fVfflll! I ' ll!

Catholic men ' s retreat in St. John ' s church was conducted by the Rev. Theodore Schulte, S.J., profes- sor of mathematics and sociol- ogy at Regis college, Denver, Colo. The Rev. Richard Cahill, S.J., officiated at the non- Catholic men ' s retreat in the school auditorium, while the Rev. Thomas Moore, S.J., directed the retreat for Catho- lic women at St. Mary Magda- lene ' s church. At the same time, the Very Rev. Joseph P. Zeurcher, president of the university, directed the retreat for the nurses at St. Catherine ' s hospital; and the Rev. Charles K. Hayden, S.J., dean of men, conducted the retreat at St. Joseph ' s hospital. An impressive feature of the retreat was the formal reception of 272 candidates into the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin on the last day of retreat. Mass, general com- munion received by the entire student body, and the administering of the papal bles- sing by the retreat master completed the annual conference. A board of consultors, two from each Sodality unit, assisted in the government of the union. Each department of the university has its sodality, governed by a board of student officers including a prefect with two assistants, a secretary and a treasurer together with a group of consultors under the direction of the student counselor. Pre- fects for the year in the various departments were: Vincent Lamb, college of arts and sciences; Fred Reif, college of commerce; Paul Gauthier, school of journalism; Leonard Schenk, school of pharmacy; Milan Predovich, school of dentistry; William Acolytical Society 148 Sixtieth Anniversary Frederick Reif Commerce Paul Gauthier Journalism Redle, school of law; Paul 0 ' - Hollaran, school of medicine; Gertrude Martin, university college. Regular activities for Cath- olic students of the university included the sodality Mass each Friday morning in St. John ' s church for the under- graduates with devotions in honor of the Blessed Mother of God and an address by the director; sodality meetings of the law school every second Tuesday, the dentistry school every second Friday, and the school of medicine on the second Sunday; and on each First Friday a general com- munion for all sodalists. The Sodality council of each undergraduate department met weekly to promote the spiritual interest of its individual contingent. Conferences were held with the officers of the professional schools for the same purpose. The executive board of the Sodality union met every alternate month during the year to outline a program of union efforts in Catholic action. Specific activities are promoted, under the auspices of the sodality, by means of a large group of clubs and guilds through which the sodality tries to promote an active Catholic life and exert a spiritual influence in the entife student body of Creighton. These organizations are: The Apostleship of Prayer, the Xavier Forum, the Senior Catholic Action club, the Junior Catholic Action club, the Social Justice club, the Evidence Guild, the Medical Forum, the Acolytical society, the Usher ' s club, the Sodality Union board, the Sodality choir, the University Students ' Spiritual council, 1 ' f: i % f % f Xavier Forum 149 1878 - 1938 Mn n Prtdovich Dentistry William Ri di i and Sodality council in all departments of the university. The Apostleship of Prayer, a pious union in honor of the Sacred Heart, fosters daily practice of devotion and sacri- fice, particularly the Morning Offering and the Communion of Reparation. The mission units gather small cont ribu- tions each week for the aid of home and foreign missions. The Xavier Forum, a col- legiate study unit of missions and missionary problems, held meetings every second Thurs- day evening 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 conditions and work in practically all the countries of the world. Harold Lebens is president of the Forum. The Catholic Action club is divided into two groups, the Junior and the Senior, for upper and lower classmen, respectively. Its purpose is to provide undergraduate stu- dents with a medium for discussion of sociological, economic and ethical problems from the view point of Christian principles and ideals. The club, which like the Xavier Forum is in its sixth year, owes its existence to the students ' desire for an opportunity to learn self-expression on religious thought through a study of problems as they pre- sent themselves in current life. John Curran heads the Junior Catholic Action club while Harold Lebens is president of the Senior group. The St. Berchman ' s Acolytical society rendered appreciated service throughout the year by furnishing servers at the early masses in St. John ' s church and at the various Catholic Action Club 150 Sixtieth Anniversary — Carl Pinard Medicine Leonard Schenk ' Pharmacy church functions of the uni- versity. The 32 members of the society are drawn chiefly from the resident students of Wareham and Dowling halls. Head of the society this year was Joseph Slattery. An outstanding ceremory of the year was the Marian Night, held on the second Sunday of May, as a pilgrim- age to the shrine of the Blessed Mother on the north lawn. So- dalists from all the school so- dalities of the city marched with lighted candles amid songs and prayers to the grotto. The Act of Consecration was renewed and solemn benedic- tion of the Blessed Sacrament was given. John Porter gave the address of the evening. Paul Pival read the benediction and James Keogh was general marshal. Several public novenas were held during the year, for success of the school year in September, for purity in December, as a Christmas gift for parents in December, for success in examinations in January and May, for material and spiritual aid in March and for success of graduates in May. Noonday Benediction commemorated each of the major feasts of the year. A solemn triduum of holy hours preceded 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 May witnessed special daily devotions in honor of the Blessed Virgin. Girls Catholic Action Group 151 1878 - 1938 Cshc University Uoea Soaatiiu Organized five years ago, the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary is composed of Catholic coeds enrolled in the college of commerce, the school of journalism, and the uni- versity college. The Rev. Joseph A. Herbers, S.J., has been its moderator for the past three years. Following a three-day re- treat, given by the Rev. Thomas Moore, S.J., of Millford, Ohio, in the church of St. Mary Magdalene, each candidate was received into the sodality. Father Herbers con- ducted the services, assisted by Gertrude Martin. Gertrude Martin, this year ' s sodality prefect, headed the Eucharistic committee as chairman last semester. Her assistants were Catherine Martin and Dorothy Larkin. Active work for the year was distributed to five committees and an individual chair- man was appointed to each. Xell O ' Hollaren headed the mission committee, catholic literature, Joan Finley; publicity, Regina McDermott; Our Lady, Eleanor Kennedy; and Eucharistic, Betty Stover. Every second Tuesday the sodality meets in St. John ' s church for the recitation of the Office of the Blessed Virgin and Benediction. R.I-.V. Josi.ph A. Hi Kill KS, S.J.

The members meet every Sunday morning in the hospital chapel directed by the Rev. Francis X. Reilly, S.J., andSisterM.Livina,R.X.A.M. Office is recited, hymns are sung, and a short sermon is given each Sunday. The first Sunday of each month is Sodality Sunday. On this day, each member wears her sodality medal and sodalists receive Holy Communion in a body. Thirty-four new members were received into the sodality this year in a ceremony held December 8 of each year. Business meetings are conducted on the first Saturday of each month, during which religious topics and suggestions are discussed and special devotions and activities are stimulated. Xew hymns are practiced and a social evening follows. All members of the sodality participate in a three-day retreat given by outstanding members of the Society of Jesus. 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 better Catholics. $ $ i ffl Top Ron : A. Webering, E. Davidson, M. DeWulf, L. Jacoby, R. Birkel, P. Wray, M. Davy, G. Rainey, M. Bischof, M.

Directed by the Rev. Wil- liam Leahy, S. J., who has been acting moderator of the sodality for the last several years, the 45 members honor the Hlessed Virgin. A three-day retreat given by the Very Rev. Joseph P. Zeurcher, S. J., president of Creighton university, for all sodality members, was followed by a general communion at the last session. Members attended all conferences in the morning and evening while continuing their duties as members of the hospital staff. Meetings featured discussions on religious topics and organization activities. The First Friday of every month, all sodality members receive Holy Communion in a body. Convocation in the hospital chapel is conducted each Sunday morning. The office and the litany of the Blessed Virgin are recited, and a short sermon is given concerning some important feasts of the week. New members were received the last Sunday in May.

Purpose of the organiza- tion is to loan funds to needy and worthwhile Creighton students. C he Cjqnew J oan Juna JLjSTABLISHED in L930 as a memorial to the Rev. William Agnew, S.J., late presidenl of the university, the Agnew Loan fund carries out his expressed wish that no needy and worthy student be denied a Catho- lic education by being forced to leave the uni- versity because of financial difficulties. This year ' s seventh annual drive, under the direction of the Students Union Board of Gov- ernors, and Paul Pival, general chairman, was climaxed by the annual Loan Fund Apprecia- tion dance in the university gymnasium on February 4. At the dance, the new Loan Fund cup was presented to the school of journalism for making the largest donation in proportion to the number enrolled; and a door prize of $25 was awarded to the holder of the lucky ticket. For each twenty-five cent contri- bution the donor was given a chance on the prize. Subscriptions or pledges are paid annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. Chairmen for the drive in the various schools were Robert Booher, medicine; Paul Pival, den- tistry; Pierce Chambers, journalism; Joe Manion, pharmacy, William Redle, law; Jack Miller, arts; and John Verschoor, commerce. A new all-time record in contributions was set this year with $651.70, an increase of $162.55 over the amount contributed last year. Figures for student and faculty contributions alone totaled $535.00. Last year new rules relating to the borrowing from the fund made it possible for more students to take advantage of its benefits.

Present training became part of University curriculum in January, 1919. n o. e. a J.HK Creighton University Reserve Officers Training corps was established in 1919, at the request of the university authorities. All physic- ally qualified undergraduates receive in- struction in elementary military courses for two years. Those whose applications arc approved for admission to the ad- vanced courses are appointed second- lieutenants in the Infantry Reserve corps. I ' . S. Army, after two additional years of satisfactory work. Two hundred and eighty-five men have, to date, been trained and com- missioned. Students who terminate their military studies with the completion of their second basic year have received such fundamental training as may en- able them to qualify as non-commis- sioned officers in case of a national emergency. At present, five recently g raduated lieutenants are serving for one year with regular army regiments under the pro- visions of a recent act of Congress. During the past five years, 20 graduates have served with Civilian Conservation Corps companies in administrative or executive capacities. The cadet battalion is trained by student officers and non-commissioned officers under the supervision of the military faculty.

The faculty members of the Military department are: Major Willfred R. Higgins, infantry; Major Willis D. Cronkhite, infantry; Major Lawrence L. W. Meinzen, infantry; Sergeant Lawrence J. Dempsey and Sergeant Curtis D. Kier, all of the United States Army. Major Meinzen and Major Cronk- hite were assigned to duty with the de- partment in the fall, replacing Major Sweeney and Major Callen who were transferred to duty with regiments. The cadet officers for the year, ap- pointed by the Commandant, were: Battalion Headquarters: Harold Hoppens lieutenant-colonel; Joseph Troia, major, battalion adjutant.

The military department maintains offices on the second floor of the gymnasium where all ad- ministrative and classroom work is conducted. Military instruction periods of two hours dura- tion are held weekly on the athletic field. There, minor tactics, close order and extended order drill, pack-making and tent-pitching are prac- tised. Three hours instruction each week are given basic students. Five hours attendance each week is required of advanced course stu- dents. Some of the subjects in the military curri- culum studied during the year, either in the classroom or on the field, are: rifle marks- manship, musketry, map-reading, first-aid, scouting, patrolling, military law, automatic rifle, machine gun, pistol, military history, trench-mortar, 37-millimeter gun. and the minor tactics of infantry. The storeroom for equipment used in the courses of instruction is on the ground floor of the gymnasium building. The military department organizes a university R.O.T.C. rifle team, which competes in the National Hearst match, and in the Seventh Corps Area match. The team, com- posed of 10 men, traveled to Iowa City, Iowa; Ames, Iowa; and Vermillion, South Dakota, for matches with university teams there. Girls who are interested in rifle-shoot- ing are offered the facilities of the range and an instructor is detailed to assist them. 1 |OR I  RI M I , ll INZEN Infantry Company C 160 Sixtieth Anniversary The R.O.T.C. provides ushers for the various plays, speeches, and contests of the university and takes part in the civic parades and other functions in the city. Each year a general in- spection is made by a staff officer of the Seventh Corps Area headquarters to determine the excel- lence of the Creighton unit in comparison with other R.O.T.C. units. The inspection results in the unit being rated as excellent, good, or poor. If rated excellent, the cadets are authorized to wear a blue star on their uniforms. This year is the sixth consecutive year that Creighton has maintained the Blue star rating. The inspecting officer examines the cadets in each of the sub- jects of the curriculum, and the rating is based on the results of these tests and the excellence of the drill and tactical exercises that are con- ducted on the field. The military department sponsors a special ' ' Prize Day each May, when individual awards are made to outstanding students for the excellence of their work. The outstanding cadet officer is given a saber in recogni- tion of his proficiency, and most proficient basic cadets are given special awards for their ability in drill and tactics. The most expert rifleman is given a medal and the best coed rifle shot, a trophy. The First Basic student whose essay on The National Defense Act and Military Policy of the United States is judged the best, receives a cash prize. A special award, the Major Hardin C. Sweeney prize, consisting of five dollars, will be presented to the outstanding second basic leader in the Musketry Fir- ing problems. Each summer members of the first advanced class are given a special six-week course of intensive instruction at Fort Crook, Nebraska. This is for the purpose of rounding- Major Willis D.

They camp with members of the R.O.T.C. units from the Universities of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota, and compete 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 Rosemary Gaughan as the new honorary colonel succeeding Miss Marion Menzies. Miss Gaughan is a junior in the college of commerce. The ball this year was held again at the Paxton hotel where special ceremonies were conducted to install the honorary colonel. She was introduced to members of Phalanx, the fraternity sponsoring the Military ball, and their guests at the annual banquet im- mediately preceding the ball. The R.O.T.C. band numbered 57 at the beginning of the college year and is directed by Donald Libby. The band, while it is officially and primarily a military unit, is also the university band, and in this capacity plays at many athletic contests and activities during the course of the college year. At least two years of either band or military work First and Second Year Advanced x. x : jrrj 162 Sixtieth Anniversary A. Gallagher R. Matcha O. Odorisio is required of each male student for graduation. This requirement is suspended only in very unusual cases and when the student is attending a professional school. In this way the men playing in the band are given equal credit with those partak- ing in the actual drill and field maneuvers. Each year six coeds are chosen as sponsors of the five companies and the band. This year Alice Gallagher sponsored the R.O.T.C. band. Ruth Matcha represented the color company while Betty Stover and Genevieve Pettis were selected to represent companies B and C respectively. Olive Ordorisio was elected to sponsor company D. Marie Grieb was chosen as sponsor to company A. 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 Reserve 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-lieutenant ' s commission and pay, without training other that that given by the R.O.T.C. in their respective universities.

The band created a striking appearance at all performances in their white and blue uniforms and new capes of the same colors. Each year it continually makes further advancement in its collegiate activities. Band members are given credit with those taking the actual drill and field ma- neuvers. The R.O.T.C. band played at all university rallies before football games. The band played at the all-university rally held at the Orpheum theatre directed by Sam Wein- stein. Pep Marshal. School spirit, that elusive student method of displaying mass emotion, was given a tremendous boost by the music furnished by the band.

U. and St. B. flood lights on, and from a blue and white draped egg box in the center of the gridiron was hatched Creighton ' s first personified Bluejay, signifying the start of the ambitious 1937-1938 pep program. A program whose two prime motives were first, to build and keep alive a genuine student spirit, and sec- ondly, to provide a series of entertain- ments for all athletic games. With four veterans returning, the pep squad was enlarged to six members. Sam Weinstein was reappointed pep marshal, Bob Walker, head cheerleader, and Jim Keogh and Gene Rush, cheer- leaders. Olive Odorisio became Creigh- ton ' s first girl cheerleader. Jack Colton as handyman and alternate cheerleader, gave immeasurable assistance. Their cooperation and work on the Hilltop was of the finest caliber. Through summer reorganization, the Howlers, pep club, became the Blue Wings. Elected officers were: Bob Walker, president; Lee Ferguson, vice presidnt; Regina McDermott, secretary; William Parker, treasurer. The Rev. Charles K. Hayden, S. J., was moderator. Later the Blue Wings became departimentalized according to respective schools. Using a white sweater and bluejay emblem as its Sam Weinstein Pep Marshal Highlanders from the Hilltop 166 Sixtieth Anniversary membership symbol, the group spon- sored game entertainment and stunts. A special pep fund was provided by the Athletic department, the Students Union, and the Alumni association. This money made possible the most varied and extensive pep program in Creighton ' s history. School spirit, that elusive student method of displaying mass emotion, was given a tremendous boost by the formation of departmental cheering. The law school, guided by Richard Coughlin, Loyal Kaplan and Clayton Shrout, started this new movement by leading snake dances in drenching rains between halves on two succeeding Fri- day nights. At basketball games, the spirit was of the finest type. Time and time again it rose to unpredicted heights. The Creighton band, under Don E. Libby, was an outstanding factor in this rebirth of spirit during the 1937 season. Super? Super what? Silence! Listen woild! An dat aint all! And now? Show ' nuff! were eye-catching headlines on weekly handbills which glamorously announced the pre-game rallies, torchlight-parade rallies, noon-day rallies, and theatre rallies, climaxed by the novel stage-show rally at the Orpheum theatre. Typical of the early season pep meetings was the one preceeding the Grinnell game. Snappy speeches by both Creighton and Grinnell players, stirring songs by Creighton ' s band, and competitive cheering assured the success of this noon-day rally. Robert Walker Head Cheerleader The Bluejay Family 167 1878 - 1938 Hip! Hip! Yi Bluljay! The stage-show rally at the Orpheum theatre was the culmination point in the in the pep activities at Creighton. As the curtain went up on the special Creighton set- ting, the strains of the White and Blue played by the band drifted across the foot- lights. A speech by Marchmont Schwartz, the entrance of the football squad, another curtain up revealing cheerleaders, followed then in quick thunderous succession by Yea Bluejay and The 01 ' Locomotive and the courtmarshalling of Cheerleader Rush because of incompetent yell leading were highlights on the program. The rally ended with specially taken movies of the football team thrown on a transparent screen in front of the entire stage setting. Homecoming featured two rallies, one at the Omaha theatre and another at the bonfire and dance and the annual parade augumented by five Omaha High School bands, led by the Creighton R.O.T.C. band.

Brey, S.J., moderator of music at the university for the first time this year. Under his supervision, the department de- veloped five outstanding organizations: the male chorus, the university orchestra, the choir, the Bluejay vocal quartet, and the Bluejay string quartet. The University Male Chorus was organized October 18 under the direction of Fred G. Ellis, professional director in Omaha for 20 years. Com- petitive tryouts were held at this time and about three-fourths of the applicants were accepted, fix- ing the membership between 40 and 50 singers. The chorus worked along both ensemble and sectional lines, the four bass and tenor sections each having one hour of rehearsal a week alone and one hour devoted to rehearsal to- gether Officers of the chorus are: Tom Vincent, president; Jack Saggau, vice president; and John Sanduski, secretary. These officers were elected on the students ' own in- itiative. John Sanduski was also the accompanist for the group. Organized in November, the university orchestra provides an opportunity for any- one with musical talent in the instrumental field to make use of his talents. The or- chestra ' s 45 members under the baton of Conductor Donald E. Libby, in addition to appearances on the University of the Air programs provided music for the oratorical contest in April. Xew instruments added this year to the orchestra included a string bass and a concert grand piano. Riv Floyd A. Brey, S.J. Moderator 170 Sixtieth Anniversary Another outstanding vocal organization on the Hilltop during the past year was the University Sodality choir, directed by Father Brey. The choir, which is composed of 24 men, sang at the Regional Sodality convention held at Creighton March 12 and 13. They also appeared at special school religious functions and sang at 9 o ' clock Mass on Fridays and Sundays through- out of the year. John D. Hartigan, student organ- ist, accompanied the choir on all its appearances. The Bluejay vocal quartet, known on more in- formal occasions as the Bluejay Revelers , pro- vided the university with good music in a lighter vein. The quartet, composed of Richard Rucki. first tenor; Walter P. Traub, second tenor; Leo Kowalski, Jr., first bass; and Ray Burroughs, second bass, has appeared at banquets, between halves at basketball games, and at several other university functions. John Sanduski was the di- rector-accompanist of the organization. The Bluejay string quartet, the instrumental twin of the vocal quartet, was organ- ized in February at the beginning of the second semester. Directed by Joseph Soshnik, first violin, the quartet includes Richard Baudo, second violin; Frances Riha, viola; and Ada Jayne Turner, cello. All of these organizations made appearances periodically on the Creighton Uni- versity of the Air Musical hour. May 8, 9, and 10, the music department presented the university ' s best musical talent, instrumental and vocal, in Bluejay Turns Nightingale, Creighton ' s 1938 musical ensemble, at Central High auditorium. A cast of 140 including three prominent guest artists and all the musical organizations, presented a well-balanced program of John D. Hartigan The Male Chorus 171 1878 - 1938 classical, semi-classical, and popular music, in- terspersed with humor and enhanced by attrac- tive settings. In the third act, Antoinette Scigliano, sopra- no guest artist, sang the role of Elizabeth in the first scene of the third act from the opera Tannhauser , better known as the Pilgrim ' s Return. In this scene, which was fully staged by the department and accompanied by the university orchestra, the role of Wolfram op- posite Miss Scigliano. was sung by Delos Good- man, baritone. Eleanor Rose, contralto, and Kathleen Kelly, soprano, also guest artists, were presented both with the chorus and as soloists. Another feature of the ensemble was an original half hour musical episode written by Joseph E. Graham, and sung by the Blue jay quartet. The entire program was co-ordinated with a central theme in an endeavor to escape from the usual concert type of spring musicale. The entire festival presented a varied program of vocal and instrumental music. The Creighton orchestra, R.O.T.C. band, Bluejay string quartet, Sodality choir and Male chorus were included in the cast. George Johnson was in charge of ticket sales. Joe Graham was stage manager for the performances. Tom Vincent handled the publicity work connected to the produc- tion, and Gilbert Fiser was chosen to act as costume and property manager. The spring musical presentations of recent years were directed by the Rev. Louis A. Bloomer, S. J. This year ' s festival was the first musical ensemble of its kind to be presented at Creighton. 1 DM I N( I I Afj r ( luii us President The Band 172 Sixtieth Anniversary S irst formal Junior-Senior prom held on University campus in Spring of 1922 . . .

An innovation in the history of Creighton proms were the new royal robes and the gowns especially designed for the prom princesses in New York. They were rushed by plane in order that they might arrive in time for the ceremony. Identities of the royal couple were kept a secret until the last moment. Queen Joan Finley mingled with the other princesses, and King Mugan smoked in a dressing room with princes of the realm. Last to go through the spotlighted, curtained doorway, they were then hurriedly draped in their royal robes. King Creighton was crowned by Joseph Manion, chancellor, and president of the Students Union Board of Governors. The new queen advancing through an applauding audience of 500 subjects knelt before the throne and was assisted to her place by his royal high- ness. Dress rehearsals and coronation ceremonies were directed by Mrs. Marie Stewart Jesse. Prom arrangements were made by members of the Creighton University Stu- dents Union Board of Governors. General chairman of the Prom was Robert Booher, assisted by William Redle, Joseph Manion, and Eugene Stanton. They were aided by Joseph P. Murphy, manager of the Union board. One of the highlights of the Prom was the engagement of Bernie Cummins and his band who came direct from the Hotel Biltmore in New York City. Following the announcement of a boost in prom prices, Bernie Cummins was selected. Rom r i C.

They were: Marjorie Xolan and Joan Finley, college of arts and sciences; Marion Menzies and Gertrude Martin, college of commerce; Nell O ' Hollaren and Helen Cecelia Schmitt, school of dentistry; Catherine Martin of University college and Mary Ann Prendergast of St. Joseph ' s hospital, the school of law; Maxine Busch of St. Joseph ' s hospital and Mary Lucille Costello of St. Catherine ' s hospital, college of pharmacy; Eileen Connelly and Marion McClintock, school of journalism; and Frances Mc- Kay and Geraldine Shanahan of St. Catherine ' s, the school of medicine.

They were: Grant Burden and Nick Popa. school of journalism; Robert Conley and Justin Pinard, school of dentistry; Richard Murphy and Richard Miller, college of commerce; Arthur Arnold, school of medicine; Harold Lebens and James Gleason, school of law; John Petricka and Charles Smith, college of pharmacy. At a meeting earlier in the season, the board of governors decided that princesses need not come from the college that they were to represent. The introduction of a preferential ballot in selecting the members of the court was introduced for the first time this year. Both princes and princesses were chosen not only on their outstanding merits as campus leaders, but also for their scholastic standing. By using this method of selec- Mary Joan Finley Queen Creighton XVI Chatting Between Dances 175 1878 - 1938 — G. Shan ah an J. Finlly I I.

COSTI-LLO Huge bouquets of multi-colored sweet peas carried by the princesses added beauty to the coronation ceremonies of the new king and queen. The array could have well compared to a flower tournament. The blending of the peach mousseline de soi gowns worn by the princesses gave an effect equal to that which could be perfected by a color artist. The new royal robe worn by Queen Finley was of white satin, and the new king ' s robe was made of blue satin. The following day Miss Finley, was honored at a luncheon given in her honor by the Kappa Zeta Kappa, at the Athletic club.

After the color guard had taken its position to the right of the steps, the grand march began. Leading the four lines of 10 couples were Marion Menzies, the retiring honorary colonel; Harold Hoppens, lieu- tenant-colonel; and James Mulqueen, commander of Phalanx, national military fraternity. Directly be- hind them one couple abrest came the company com- manders and sponsors of the various companies, and their dates. At the command, Present arms, the new colonel entered from the right door of the stage, was met by the lieutenant-colonel and they marched under an arch-way of sabres. As she descended the steps to the ballroom, she received a bouquet of American Beauty roses from last year ' s honorary colonel. The ball was sponsored by Delta Morae, Creighton chapter of Phalanx. Heading the committees were: Commander James Mulqueen; Vice-commander John Vers- choor; Adjutant Richard Coughlin; Treasurer Richard Murphy; and Historian Charle Page. Attending the honorary colonel were company sponsors: Alice Gallagher, represent- ing the band; Ruth Matcha, color company; Marie Grieb, company A; Betty Stover, company B; Genevieve Pettis, company C; Olive Odorisio, company D. The new honorary colonel is treasurer of Kappa Zeta Kappa, social sorority, and also serves as member of the Inter-Sorority council. In addition, Rosemary, who is Harold A. Hoppens Lieutenant -Colonel Through the Arch of Sabers 178 Sixtieth Anniversary majoring in marketing in the college of commerce, is an active member of the Commerce Coed club.

Hayden, S.J., dean of men; Major and Mrs. Willfred R. Higgins; Major and Mrs. Law- rence W. Meinzen; Major and Mrs. Willis D. Cronk- hite; Miss Gaughan and Miss Menzies and escorts; and company sponsors were banquet guests.

James Mulqueen, toastmaster, introduced Father Zuercher and Major Higgins, who praised the new honorary colonel. Tables were arranged in order of companies, and each table was surmounted by a miniature flag bear- ing the company letter. Major and Mrs. Higgins, Major and Mrs. Menzein. and Major and Mrs. Cronkhite chaperoned the ball. The sponsors were outstanding models of chic. Betty Stover and Oliver Odorisio wore white satin and Marie Grieb, white accordian-pleated taffeta frocks and red quilted taffeta jacket. Alice Gallagher, Ruth Matcha, and Genevieve Pettis advocated royal blue. Alice ' s and Ruth ' s were trimmed with sequins, and Genevieve ' s had grecian lines and gold accessories. Miss Gaughan, after being unveiled as queen of the R.O.T.C. unit at Creighton, received another title of the most secretive woman on the Hilltop. Keeping the identity of her selection a complete secret until the night of the ball, Rosemary didn ' t even tell her mother about her new honor until her name was announced at the presentation. The new colonel even went so far in her deception as to describe to the society editor of The Crcightonian the gown that she was planning to wear.

It has been and is the opinion of these editors that the difference between a mediocre or excellent edition lies in the capabilities and timely suggestions of the various craftsmen and advisers who devote many hours of their time in doing all that is possible to make up that difference. If you as readers feel that The 1938 Bluejay has met with your ap- proval as a well-planned and artistically composed publication offering you many moments of enjoyment, we hope you will join in thanking the following: Mr. H. F. Beckett for the artistic cover design as produced by The David J. Molloy Plant. Mr. Gordon Bennett, commercial artist, who spent many hours of research before making the drawings in the opening section that depict the outstanding stages in the development of Creighton university. Mr. E. J. Cochrane and the craftsmen of the National Printing com- pany for their patience and personal interest shown during the printing of the publication. Mr. and Mrs. H.
