Murphy 22 2), ?p ments eDanwien ofOfrls ana Sciences IhE oldest department in the university, the college of arts and sciences, offers annually a wide range of courses leading to bachelor degrees in arts, sciences and philosophy. Through its courses the college attempts to give the student a true appreciation of the seven arts which are: the relation of the individual to God; the relation of the individual to his fellow man; the art of expression; the art of enjoying leisure; the art of reasoning; the art of the com- prehension of the historical heritage of the ages, and the art of living. With a total enrollment of 396 stu- dents the pre-requisite course in the col- lege of arts and sciences is primarily creative and only secondarily constructive. To think accurately, visualize clearly and reason logically are considered more important objects of education than the me- morizing of fact and data. The first two years of an arts course find the student adhering closely to a prescribed program of study in order to acquire credits in essential fields. The final two years of the four-year course find the student pursuing more intensely courses of study to which he is especially inclined and for which he may have particular aptitude. In this latter period the student also enjoys the further privilige of extensive reading and research. In order to qualify for any of the several degrees in the college of arts and sciences a student must earn 128 semester hours of credit and 128 hours of quality points over the four-year course. For the fourth consecutive year the President ' s scholarship was placed in active use. Every male students in all the schools in the state of Nebraska is eligible for this particular scholarship. Rev. Geralu H. FitzGibbo.n, S.J. Dean The College of Arts and Sciences Faculty 24 SckooL of l aw XhE Creighton university school of law is a member of both the American Bar Association and the Asso- ciation of the American Law schools, the latter being an organization to which less than half of the schools in the United States are permitted membership. The main object of the courses offered is to fit the graduate for practice in any place where common law prevails. But, due to the fact that common law differs in various regions and states because of political, social and economic conditions, the Creighton school of law offers more than can be had in so-called national schools. Restricted enrollment insures a uniform student body of 123 students, thus preventing unwieldiness in the size of classes, so that the Creighton tradition of close personal relationship between students and faculty members may be maintained. Since actual practice is as essential to thorough education in law as is theory gained in the class- rooms from text books, valuable and practical experience in organization, management and conduct of cases is gained by the law student through an elaborate Moot Court system. Cases of various nature are tried by the students with faculty members presiding as judges. The Law school library, one of the finest of its kind in this section of the country, contains 40,561 volumes, comprising most of the American, English and Canadian Reports, together with an extensive collection of session laws and statutes of the various states of the United States, the provinces of Canada, and the English statutes. To acquaint students with legal libraries, a course in Legal Bibli- ography is a required course in the school. Louis J. TePoel Dean The School of Law Faculty 25 7G:r ' 7 ' i ' ) L oLLecjeof 1 karmacij IhE curriculum of the college of pharmacy, recognized by edu- cators as one of the finest and most complete in the nation, is arranged so as to give the student and graduate a complete knowledge of pharmacy and its related fields as well as a correct ap- preciation of the responsibilities of the pharmacist in public life. Prepared with the assistance of grad- uates of the department who furnish ad- vice based on their own experiences, the curriculum is outstanding, . n important feature of the school is its provision for both breadth of education and desirable professional specialization. The courses for the first two years are foundation and therefore prescribed. .At the end of the second year each student is assisted in deciding for which phase of the practice of the profession he wishes to prepare himself. Close cooperation is maintained between the college of pharmacy and the school of medicine. All prescriptions prescribed by the school of medicine for patients of the medical clinic are compounded in a special prescription room by pharmacy students under the supervision of a faculty member who is also a registered pharmacist. Most of the prescriptions are filled free of charge although a small charge is made to those patients who are financially able to pay for them. 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. Graduates of the Creighton college of pharmacy are admitted to the board examinations in those states requiring graduation from a college of pharmacy as a pre-requisite to these examinations. William .A. Jarrett Dean The College of Pharmacy Faculty 26 SckooL of Uneolclyie XhE school of medicine, the oldest professional department in the university, not only sends out into America some of the leading members of the medical profession, but provides one of the greatest welfare services to the people of Omaha. More than thirty- thousand patients are treated annually by advanced students under faculty supervision in the clinic and out-patient of the Creighton school of medicine. The school is a member of the Ame- rican Association of Medical colleges and the Association attributes it a Class A rating. A library, containing 7,400 books is maintained by the university for use by the 251 full-time students .The Creighton dispensary is a member of the Omaha Council of Social Agencies. It cooperates with the Creighton University Health Service, the Visiting Nurses Associa- tion, the Public School Nurses, the Omaha Orthopedic Society, the Diocesan Catholic charities, the Nebraska Tuberculosis Association and other charitable agencies of the city. Senior students also make calls at the homes of dispensary patients who are unable to come to the clinic. These clinical and teaching facilities are supplemented by the affiliation of four important hospitals, one of which ranks as the largest between Chicago and the Pacific coast. They are: the Creighton Me- morial St. Joseph ' s hospital, St. Catherine ' s hospital in Omaha, and Mercy hospital and St. Bernard ' s hospital in Council Bluffs. Cooperating with the Pharmacy college, the medical school compounds and distributes on the aver- age of 10,000 prescriptions either free of charge or at costs during the year. Under faculty supervision treatments are recommended and prescriptions compounded by students of the two departments. Uk. Bin an M.

Viner Dean .KALIZIXG that leadership in the profession of dentistry requires an education that will enable the practi- tioner to keep pace with ever-changing conditions and ever-improving methods, the school of dentistry exerts every in- lluence toward preparing graduates of the department in all lines of dental practice. The degree of doctor of dental surgery is attained after a four-year course, which is preceeded by two years of pre- dental study in the college of arts and sciences. Every phase of the professional man ' s future requirements is adequately cared for, so that the graduate will not only be a finished technician and operator, but a cultured gentleman as well. The school ' s claim to dental supremacy, however, rests to a considerable extent upon the meticulous care with which solid foundations for future professional leadership are built. The school maintains complete technical, metal- lurgical and microscopic laboratories, together with a large intkmary, surgical operating rooms and X-Ray laboratories. Clinical facilities are of the finest, and as a result over 4,000 patients are treated annually by upper- classmen. Each student is equipped with the latest type of electrical operating units and cabinets. As the patients registered in the clinic are drawn not only from Omaha but from the surrounding terri- tory in Nebraska and Iowa, the students are afforded a variety of practice in all phases of oral den- tistry. By means of a methodical record which is kept of all the work done by each individual stu- dent, the faculty supervisor can tell at any time to what extent the student is capable and experienced in each of the different phases of dental work studied. 28 The School of Dentistry Faculty Kjoiiecfe of yt w ommerce ITH a total enrollment of 408 students, 120 in the evening classes, the college of commerce entered its nine- teenth year as a major unit of Creigh- ton university. No longer adhering to the traditional and obsolete method of business appren- ticeship, the college of commerce offers a four year course leading to a bachelor of science in commerce. The work of the freshman and sophomore years consists largely of required courses and has a two-fold purpose: to provide a broad cul- tural background and to furnish funda- mental training in the principles of busi- ness. The work of the junior and senior years consists of the more highly specialized courses designed to develop keen analytical ability in busi- ness matters and to fit the student for active participation in his chosen field. Through the medium of a Bureau of Business Research, each student is given experience in the application of statistical meth- ods. An important new course, Business English, was added to the curriculum of the college this year. An important feature of the college of commerce is the evening division, in which economics and accounting courses receive special emphasis. Men and women engaged in specialized work find these relative courses extremely profitable. An opportunity to receive practical knowledge is given the student by the location of the college in a commercial and industrial center. State and national conventions of business associations in Omaha and special lectures by business executives combine to equip the student for later work. Con- sideration of the importance of law in relation to business is one of the newest ideas. The commerce-law course has become a very popular combination leading to two degrees. Dr. Floyd E. VVai.sh Dean TiFE College of Commerce Faculty 29 L{niversL [tlj yOlU cje X .HK university college, one of the youngest and yet one of the largest departments in the university, has in- corporated 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. With a present enrollment of 229 stu- dents, the department was founded in 19.n to combine all the extension and teachers courses and to give a compre- hensive and thorough training to the teachers, professional men, college stu- dents and adults enrolled in college courses. At present women comprise the entire full-time enrollm ent in the uni- versity college. The students are allowed to choose their courses in other colleges and schools on the campus, but they are under the direction of the dean of the university college. Through this depart- ment women are given the opportunity to receive Arts degrees. Certificates in education are awarded by the university college in addition to the degrees, special emphasis being laid on education courses in the curriculum of this department. Even though university college enrolls many women students it appeals also to business men and women of whom there is a large enrollment in special late afternoon, evening and Saturday classes. The university college also offers a summer session of eight weeks. Courses are taught by regular members of the university faculty, assisted by a number of visiting professors. The university college is closely affiliated with the graduate school because of the close relation- ship of the two departments. The Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S.J., presides as dean over both university college and the graduate school. Rtv Thomas S. Bowdern, S.J. Dean The University College Faculty 30 Cyhe SckooL of ournaiism Yo .OUNCE ST addition to the university, the school of journalism, con- tinuing on the principle that class room instruction is but a small part of a thor- ough journalistic education, is complet- ing its sixth year as a full-time school. The school stresses the practical side of news-gathering and news-writing through The Creightonian and The Blue- jay, two major university publications. In order to supply students majoring in journalism with an adequate background the school offers a varied curriculum of courses ranging from the natural and so- cial sciences to certain branches of law. Subjects open to journalism students include, among others: poetry, literature, mathematics, foreign languages, history, political science, philosophy, logic, ethics, speech, economics, chemistry and biology. Technical subjects include: Report- ing, Editing, Editorial Writing, Advertising, Radio Continuity Writing, Publicity Writing, Introduction to Journalism, Introduction to Printing, Sports Writing, History and Ethics of Journalism, Community Journalism, Magazine .Article Writing, Critical Writing for Journalists and Advanced Reporting. De- grees granted include: the Bachelor of .Arts degree in Journalism, the Bachelor of Science in Journalism and the Bachelor of Philosophy in Journalism. Degree are granted after four years of work has been satisfactorily completed. The work includes the writing of a thesis in the field of journalism. Members of the faculty of the School of Journalism are: the Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S.J., regent; Dr. Stuart A. Mahuran, director, and Professors Joseph P. Murphy and Hugh A. Fogarty. Professor Fogarty joined the staff at the beginning of the current year, after a number of years as an editor and writer for several metropolitan newspapers. Dr. Stuart A. M. iu kax Director The School of Journalism Faculty 31 Ljraouate SckooL XhE opportunity to earn the degree of master of arts or master of science is afforded the advanced student by enabling him to pursue further study in the graduate school. In addition to the extension of the range of the stu- dent ' s knowledge, the graduate school develops judgement, initiative and the spirit of independent thought. This ad- vanced study is of great importance to those who wish to embark on a teach- ing career. Credits are granted for advanced work undertaken in the p re-clinical depart- ment of the school of medicine. A limited number of students are permitted to en- gage in research on problems selected by the various departments. A graduate council, appointed by the president of the university, takes charge of and supervises all work in the graduate school. The depart- ment faculty is made up of professors from other departments of the university, all of whom are spe- cialists in their own fields. The schedules are so arranged that graduate students are enabled to attend Creighton while they engage in their everyday professions. This is made possible by means of late after- noon, evening and Saturday classes. The graduate school extends and enlarges the work of the undergraduate departments by giving graduates a chance to continue in advance courses and pursue their work in specialization and research. Each of the 91 students in the graduate school has a wide knowledge of other related fields. The graduate student strives toward the acquisition of particular knowledge from a wide field of general learning. The graduate council must approve all applicants before they will be officially recog- nized by the department. Rkv. Thomas S. Bowdern, S.J. Dean liiE Graduate School 1 ' aculty 32 SaLni E .ospi ESTABLISHED in 1880 by the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Ado- ration, the Creighton Memorial Saint Joseph ' s Hospital has grown to be the largest hospital in the middle western states. The hospital has grown in size from the original building housing one hundred persons to the present modern structure caring for over five hundred patients. In 1892 a building housing 200 per- sons was completed with the aid of funds given by John A. Creighton and his wife, Mrs. Sarah Emily Creighton. In 1908 the capacity was doubled and one wing of the hospital provided for a complete system of operating rooms and a teaching clinic. The annex, completed in 1923, made possible the care of nervous and mental sufferers and is now one of the most completely equipped units of its kind. The nurse ' s home, erected in 1923, is a modern structure equipped to accommodate ISO nurses, and contains parlors, lecture rooms and a g ' mnasium. 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 edu- cational system, offering a three-year course and a five-year course. Students are registered in the uni- versity and receive diplomas signed by the officers of both institutions. Certificates in nursing are offered after the completion of the regular three-year course. Wishing to further her education and receive a degree in addition to her certificate, the candidate may complete two year? additional work and be eligible for a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. Sister M. Livlna, R.N. .A.M. Director St. Joseph ' s Hospital 33 s t W B K K m ( tkerine s jLospilaL W j B m XhE history of St. Catherine ' s ' ■ ' hospital began in 1910 with the dona- tion of a home by the late Mrs. Cath- erine Xash, in which the Sisters of Mercy established a hospital devoted solely to the care of women and children. Due to the lack of demand for specialized work in the maternity hospital, the institution was later changed to a general hospital and became know n as St. Catherine ' s Hospital. Since its foundation 29 years ago two additional wings have been added to the hospital, which have increased its total capacity to 175 beds. The first new wing was added in 1915 with the addition of more modern equipment and more housing room. This building brought St. Cath- erine ' s hospital into prominence as one of the best equipped hospitals in the middle-west. Four years later the second addition was completed. St. Catherine ' s is a general hospital, fully equipped and prepared for every type of illness. St. Cath- erine ' s belongs to that select group of hospitals standardized in accordance with the rates and regu- lations of the American College of Surgeons, and the American Medical Association. These ratings are merited because of the efficient services tended to the community. The hospital offers a three-year 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 hos- pital was brought into affiliation with Creighton. A nurse may receive a bachelor of science degree in nursing after completing two extra years of work upon her graduation from the three-year course. The hospital is located at Ninth street and Forest avenue. Sister Mary Kevin, R.S.M.; R.X A.; MA. Director St. Catherixe ' s Hospital 34 emoys ill km Edward J.

All graduates and faculty members of the uni- versity and its affiliated schools and colleges, all former students who attended at least one year and whose classes have been graduated are mem- bers in good standing. Coordinating their endeavors as they affect the pro- motion of good fellowship and mutual cooperation is the central headquarters in Omaha, maintained on the first floor of the law building, with Hugh M. P. Higgins, full- time executive secretary in charge. The annual program of the .• lumni association is a many-sided one that finds its first business the promo- tion of the fall Homecoming celebration. Last year this huge party brought back 1.000 out-of-town alumni with their wives and children for a three day gala celebration highlighted by the Creighton-West Virginia football game, professional school clinics, departmental banquets, university open house, class reunions, gymnasium barbe- cue, and official Homecoming dinner-dance. Inaugurated last fall was the filming of each Creigh- ton football game for showing at later dates to Alumni clubs throughout the United States. The interest en- gendered by this movie presentation guarantees its con- tinuance in the future as an integral part of university- Frank Norris Alice Deegan Art McCaffrey 80- alumni relations. Long a believer in the need for university-alumni relationship development, the V ' ery Rev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S. J., president, this year became the first Creighton president to make a coast-to-coast visit to Creighton alumni clubs. Honored guest at San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, Columbus, Kansas City, Minneap- olis, St. Louis, New York, and Washington, he met and visited with hundreds of former graduates now practicing their professions throughout the country. Formulating alumni policy is a 20-man panel, ten members of which are elected to office for a two-year period at Homecoming time. Elected president last year was Dr. John P. Begley. Vice president is Edward J. Dugan, and departmental repre- sentation is as follows: arts, Art McCaffrey, Harry Y. Burkley, Jr.; commerce, Charles Xewstrom. Arthur H. Winnail; dentistry. Dr. Joseph McKenna, Dr. Benjamin J. Haller; law, Ray McGrath, Lawrence Welch; medi- cine. Dr. Edmond Walsh, Dr. Frank J. Iwersen; phar- macy, Frank Xorris, Severin Walters; journalism, Xick Popa; St. Catherine ' s Nursing unit, Dorothy Donahue, Catherine Swoboda; St. Joseph ' s Nursing unit. Teresa Tully, Alice Deegan. Thirty-five alumni clubs, spanning the entire country ' from coast-to-coast and from northernmost Minnesota to Oklahoma, permit nation-wide participation in such projects as the . lumni Loyalty Fund drives, scholastic drives, etc. Some of the clubs engage in student solicitation, others in varied programs to suit their individual memberships.

The Creighton Alumnus, official monthly magazine, is sent to 6,300 alumni members, keeping them informed of scholastic and athletic activities on the campus. three-page section devoted exclu- sively to news items concerning Creighton graduates is a popular feature of the publi- cation. The Alumni Loyalty Fund, maintained by voluntary contributions from alumni members, finances the alumni magazine, the alumni office, homecomings, reunions, con- vocations, smokers, university of the air, and similar alumni projects. Additional services are provided by the alumni office through its complete file, di- vided alphabetically, geographically and by classes, of all alumni. It is kept up-to-date 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 community. The alumni office also does considerable work in referring professional business among alumni members practicing in distant parts of the country. New this year were the programs sponsored and prepared by the Alumni Association for the Creighton University of the r. During the first school semester, the Alumni Association presented a series of nine weekly programs under the title: Men Who Made Good. This series told the story of the lives of our country ' s outstanding men, and was acted out by alumni. Dr. Joseph B. Egan, editor of World Horizons, wrote the plays. They were announced by Hugh M. P. Higgins. During the second semester, the alumni association sponsored a series of talks each week. Charles Newstrom Arthur Winnail Dorothy Donahue Lawrence Welch 82 - VlOUCi clt Hrc.H M.

FOGARTY Publicity Director C rie 1 iibiLcllij Jyeparlmenl JrUBLTCIZIXG the numerous activities of the university and its student body, through the medium of press and radio, is only one phase of the ceaseless activity carried on by the Publicity department at Creighton. In addition to supplying news releases weekly to hundreds of newspapers through- out the country and to scores of radio stations, the publicity department concerns it- self with assisting in student campaigns, fund-raising campaigns, with activities of the Creighton Speakers ' bureau, and a number of other activities — even seeing to it that visiting members of the press at Creighton football games get their between-halves hot dogs and coffee. Aiming to serve the entire university, the publicity department mails out complete news on the cultural, educational and entertainment phases of school life in addition to issuing regular releases on athletics. The objective of this department is to bring all activities at the university into the public eye, so that not only prospective students but the general public might obtain a clear, complete picture of school life at Creigh- ton in all its phases. After operating for eight years under the efficient direction of Frank E. Pellegrin, now national sales manager for the Central States Broadcasting company, the publicity department acquired a new director last September in the person of Hugh A. Fogarty, Arts department graduate in 1928, who came to Creighton from The Omaha World- Herald. At the same time Alumni Secretary Hugh M. Higgins assumed the dual post of Director of Public Relations. An important phase of the publicity ' s department ' s work during the past year, as in previous years, has been the dissemination of news pictures, bringing to the public pictorially the rapidly moving scholastic, social and athletic panorama that is part and parcel of life in any large university. A large number of pictures were readily accepted this past year by Omaha newspapers and picture syndicates. 84. S tudents L lm neon Frederick Jardon President RvDY Mavr ( ke Stuaents L{i YiLon OERVIXG as the representative of each student in all school activities, the Students Union has become a necessary part of school life, because of its active participation in all campus functions. The Students Union was founded 1 7 years ago for the purpose of promoting student activity and stu- dent welfare. Presiding over and directing the policy of the Union are a faculty regent, a Students Union man- ager and a Union Hoard of Governors. The Rev. Charles K. Hayden, S.J., dean of men, continued throughout the past school year, as faculty regent. Joseph P. Murphy is in charge of the Union and serves as its manager. Difficulties of the Union Board of Governors arising over the question of the legality of the board ' s actions were ironed out at an all school constitutional conven- tion, held before the close of the 1937-38 school year. At that time the plan of equal representation for all de- partments of the university was adopted by a popular vote of the convention participants. Approximately 100 students, coming mostly from the schools of journalism and law and the college of pharmacy, voted to do away with the system of proportional representation which had been in effect during the 1937-38 school year. Under the new system, which operated successfully during the past year, each department elects two representatives to the board and gives each undergraduate school an equal voice in school activities which are planned and carried through bv the Union Board. Willis Lee Gerard Wolke Leo Williams 86.- Members of the Union Board of Governors dur- ing the past year were: Frederick Jardon, medicine, president; Rudy Mayr, dentistry, vice president; Wilbur Westfall, pharmacy, secretary; Pierce Chambers, journalism, treasurer; Clarence Stoffel and Leo Williams, arts; John Piet and Gerald Wolke, commerce; Willis Lee, journalism; Xorvin Jones, pharmacy; Joe Troia and Raymond Fox, law; Louis Westendorf, dentistry, and Bernard Sullivan, medicine. Meetings of the board are held every two weeks and feature discussions and actions on matters of student interest and the making of plans for the continued direction of the Union are decided upon. Special meetings are called only when business and mat- ters too important to be held till the next regular meeting arise and must be acted upon immediately. A lounge and study room constitute the L ' nion club- rooms which are maintained on the first floor of the gym- nasium for the convenience of Creighton male students. Facilities are available if a student wishes to take part in billiards, ping pong, or a game of cards. The study room, equiped with modern streamlined furniture, has become a place where students can study, converse with his friends or listen to the radio before, and after classes. The study room also contains a trophy case containing cups, awards, and historical memos of some of Creigh- ton ' s most notable victories in the gridiron and basket- ball court. The Union clubrooms continue to be a popular cam- pus spot during the noon hour, for here students find reasonably priced lunches, candy, ice cream, soft drinks and cigarettes available. The clubrooms have been used Rev. C. K. Rayden, S. J. Faculty Regent Wilbur Westfall John Piet Louis Westendorf Joseph Troia 87 Joseph Mirpiiv Manager Clarence Stoffel by many hilltop organizations for evening meet- ings (luring the past year and the facilities pre- sent provide clubs with entertainment in which all attending the meetings can participate. The student desiring part time or full time work finds at his disposal an employment bureau operated by the Union. Arrangements are made with downtown business houses to employ Creighton students wherever possible. A canvass is made at regular intervals and all jobs avail- able are made known to the student who wants to work, through the office of the Union man- ager. Maintainance of a rooming house service is also listed among the activities of the Union. Out-of-town students are assured of satisfactory rooms at reasonable prices. Several all-university functions are conducted by the Board of Governors, assisted by Joseph Murphy, mana- ger. The outstanding school affair of the year was the Junior-Senior Prom. Continuing a practice inaugurated last ear. the Union management brought to Prom at- tendants another name band in the person of Joe San- ders, The Ole Left Hander. Other affairs sponsored by the Hoard of Governors were the annual Frosh Frolic and the Homecoming Dance. Genevieve Pettis, univer- sity college junior, was revealed as the new Homecoming Queen succeeding Betty Olderog. The Creighton University Pep organization, sponsored by the Students Union and under the leadership of Sam Weinstein, pep marshall, took no specific name, but this year was characterized by cheering sections from each department which arrived at football and basketball games in separate bodies.

Creighton did not meet a suffi- cient number of Missouri Valley conference teams to share in the conference flag. Two V ' alley teams met the Jays; Oklahoma A M fell before the Hilltopper attack, 16-7, and one week later the Drake Bulldogs fought the Jays to a 7-7 tie at Des Moines. Some 1,200 loyal Hilltopper fans were in the Drake stadium to witness the game. Highlighting the season ' s play was the West V ' irginia university Mountaineer game played before one of the largest Homecoming crowds in Creighton history. After playing the Mountaineers to a 13-13 tie, eager to give the old grads the thrill of victory, the Bluejays, studded with sophomore luminaries, gambled for victory by passing in the last minute of a deadlocked contest only to see the ball drop into the arms of a Mountaineer back who returned it to scoring territory.

Then, the fast stepping Bluejays turned back St. Benedict ' s, Loyola of the South, and North Dakota State, in that order by one-sided scores. When the end of the season had rolled around, many loyal fans began agitating for a post-season contest, feeling that the Schwartzmen had hit a pace which would carry them to victory over many of the country ' s major elevens. Roy Engelbretson, senior end, lead the parade of selections on honorary teams. Nationally, he was selected on an all-Scandanavian eleven, while team- mates Don Fleming, sophomore half- back, and John Krejci, sophomore tackle, were honored along with Engelbretson by berths on the coaches ' first all-Valley grid team. Engelbretson, by his consistent play, placed himself among the all-time greats of Hilltop football. Johnny Piet, senior quarterback, was named to the second ail-American Polish eleven. While failing to win formal recognition by an honorary team post, Johnny Knolla, sophomore halfback, won the praises of sports critics from coast-to-coast for his passing, running and blocking ability.

Success would depend largely upon a colorful group of sophomores who had figuratively burned up the sod in their freshmen year. How the Bluejays would shape in actual competition remained for the South Dakota Coyote game to answer. That answer was handed down with great certainty, October 1, by Chief Justice Marchmont Schwartz and his associates — the Creighton Bluejays. South Dakota fell before the sophomore onslaught 26-0 in the curtain raiser played before 10,000 spectators. After a listless first quarter, Sophomores Harms, Cemore, Krejci and Powers dashed onto the field for their first taste of varsity competition in the Bluejay line. Koll, Pleming, KnoUa, and Truscott, a sophomore Big Four backfield, went to work for the Schwartz eleven. The sophomores were quick to develop a taste for touchdowns. From their own 25, in seven plays, the Jays had crossed into scoring territory. Fleming missed the kick. Four minutes later the boys had crossed the double stripe for a second score. Johnny Knolla, slippery-hipped Chicagoan, was responsible for his second counter. Johnny Krejci kicked the extra point. In the fourth quarter, Fleming cracked off left tackle from his 17 to score the third Blue touchdown. Krejci successfully booted the try-for-point. Harms recovered Berry ' s fumble on the Dakota 14 and with nine yards left on the second down, Knolla pitched a pass to Mit Stoffel, senior end, who made a falling catch in the end zone. Reilly ' s placement was wide. Sophomores had thrilled the fans with their surprising performance at tackle, guard, and backfield positions. Veterans Engelbretson, Gromnicki, Stoffel and Dippel bore the brunt of the attack at end posts, while Seniors Omer Kelly and Nick Padgen worked at center for the Bluejays. Creighton made 13 first downs to seven, realized 253 yards from rushing to the Coyotes ' 72. Performance of the two Creighton lines was a tribute to the ability of the new Creighton line coach, Tom Kitty Gorman, former TonyGeTzi o zq Notre Dame center. The Bluejays ' one-sided subdual of the senior aggrega- tion from South Dakota university was made more impressive as the season advanced. The same Coyote eleven went on to win the North Central con- ference championship. Creighton 16, Oklahoma A. M. 7 Pre-season dope had stamped the Plow- Jockeys of Oklahoma A. M., and the Tulsa Hurricanes as favorites in the Missouri Valley championship race. With this idea in mind, the Creighton coaching staff began a week of feverish preparation, knocking down any feeling of overconfidence which had grown out of the South Dakota encounter, and when the rough-riders from the south moved into the Creighton stadium, they were quick to prove themselves a formidable eleven. It didn ' t take the Aggies very long to fashion a seven-point lead over the somewhat stunned Bluejays. Cowling ' s 20-yard pass from the Jay 29 to Moore proved the means for making the first counter. Reynolds ' kick was good. Just when the die-hard Bluejay fans had settled back for a one-sided struggle. Coach Schwartz summoned his sophomore contingent into the game. Exhibit- ing the same fine form that they had accomplished the previous week, the aggregation was quick to gain possession of the ball on the Aggie 38 where Cowling ' s kick went out of bounds. Knolla got six, Fleming five, for a first down. Knolla bowled along to the 15, and then Heming, Knolla and Truscott made it first and goal on the five. Fleming, using a double reverse that proved a valuable offensive weapon throughout the season, swept around his own left end and over the goal while blockers mowed down every man in the touch- down path. John Krejci booted the extra point to make the score 7-all. Al Truscott intercepted Cowling ' s pass intended for Fullback Reynolds in the fourth quarter of play, returning it to the Oklahoma 13. Knolla went over right tackle for six where he was met by a host of Aggie tacklers; wheeling about, he whipped the ball to Fleming. The speedy half fell in behind a host of Bluejay blockers who cleared the way for a touchdown. Krejci ' s place kick was blocked, the ball bouncing about freely with no attempt being made to down it. John Powers, sophomore tackle, snatched the ball up, ran over for the extra point while players and spectators looked on.

Despite the scoring power which had been exhil)ited once more by the Blue- jays, the game ' s highlight was the point-after-touchdown score by Tackle John Powers. Sports columns dealt at length upon the Creighton honor student ' s feat while the coaching staff, greatly impressed by Tackle Power ' s quick thought, urged other team members to crack the rule books. Creighton 7, Drake 7 On to Drake! A warm, autumnal evening greeted the Creighton fans when Coach Marchie Schwartz sent his victorious Bluejays against their second Missouri Valley conference foe. The Bluejay Special steamed into Des Moines with 300 Creighton fans aboard, while many others made the journey in motor cars. Once more the Jay defense allowed a quick touchdown. Led by Pug Man- ders. and fleet-footed Bobby Underwood, the Bulldogs started their drive from their own 24. Manders crossed the goal line after four thrusts at the Bluejay line from the three. With one touchdown and point spot, the Jays went to work. The Knolla-to-Fleming passing combination put the Jays in the game during the second period only to be stopped on the Drake 14 by the half- time gun. After making two touchdown marches during the second half, the Jays were able to cash in on the third. Starting from their own 23, the Bluejays moved relentlessly down the field 77 yards and ended when Roy Engelbretson, senior end, made a sensational catch of Knolla ' s touchdown pass in the end zone. Krejci ' s boot was good, and the game was deadlocked, 7-7. The Creighton Ime stopped a bold bid by the Bulldogs on the four-yard line, late in the fourth quarter. After gaining possession of the ball, the Creighton team started a sustained march down the field alternating passes with running plays only once more to be halted by the umpire ' s gun which ended the game. Creighton outdowned the Bulldogs 14-12, and piled up a total yardage of 303 to 277 yards for the Bulldogs. TranJ:. c on. e,s Creighton 13, West Virginia 20 It was almost the same story, one week later, when the highly-touted West V ' irginia university Mountaineers came to the Hilltop for the Homecoming game. Early in the game. Mountaineer Halfback Clark returned Johnny Piet ' s long punt to the Creighton 43. On the next play, the visitors broke Eller loose behind the Jay secondary to take Audia ' s pass. Eller was dropped on the two- yard line. Audia went over, and Rapaswick split the uprights with the place- ment. Half way in the first quarter, Mandich, Mountaineer center, intercepted Johnny Knolla ' s pass on the Creighton 26, and returned it to the 19. A sen- sational catch on the third play by Rapaswick, standing in the end zone, put the visitors out in front, 13-0. The offensive game then passed to the Bluejays. Knolla took Clark ' s punt, running it back 35 yards, but Virginia held. Fleming kicked over the goal. Hockenberry fumbled as he drove into the line with Al Truscott, Jay full- back, making the recovery on the 21. Fleming raced around his own right end to score. Rucki ' s try for point was wide. Another Jay touchdown drive was halted by the half-time gun after the Blues had advanced the ball to the Mountaineer five-yard line. The third quarter had barely started when Bill Ziesel faked a run, passed from his 16 for a 32-yard gain. Ziesel and Truscott alternated to make it first down on the 35. Truscott rambled for another 15 yards. A spinner failed, the Jays losing two yards. Fleming swept around end on his favorite reverse to score standing up. He kicked goal to deadlock the game, 13-13. With less than a minute to play, the ball in the possession of Creighton, Quarterback KoU called a pass play. Sam Mandich, Mountaineer center, leaped high into the air to intercept and run the ball back to the Bluejay 16. Pinion, and White fought hard to overcome a stubborn Bluejay resistance, and fleet- ing time. With ten seconds left to play, White cracked over tackle for the score. Rapaswick kicked goal. Dick Rucki, Bluejay guard, turned in an outstanding performance against the Mointaineers. The Wheeling, West Virginia lad slashed through the Mountaineer line many times to throw his fellow-Virginians for substantial losses. c oAnJOiollcL J ohQriJ pLerg JVbv£evi (oU North Dakota V ' at( hes Fiemint. 44 St. Benedict ' s Bogs Down (ScLdCo-SotcL Creighton 6, Wichita The last-minute loss to the Mountaineers made the Bluejays more de- termined to blast their remaining opponents. One week later, the boys boarded the train for a trip south to Wichita, where they met the Wheatshocker eleven for the first time in Bluejay history. It was in this game that the seniors ex- hibited the form and drive which leads to victory. From their own 20 in the third quarter, after a scoreless first half, the Ziesel brothers, Johnny Leahy and Johnny Piet, smashed the Shocker line as they moved down the Wichita grid for 50 yards. The Big Four sophomore backfield came into the game. After an exchange of kicks, Creighton took the ball on the Shocker 49. Fleming, Knolla and Truscott alternated to move the pigskin to the 16-yard stripe. Behind beautiful blocking, the Sioux City, Iowa boy skirted over the goal- line on the reverse play which had proved successful in earlier games. Creighton ' s line proved once more that it shared a great part of the work in producing victories, when in the late minutes of the fourth quarter, the linemen stopped three Shocker plays cold from the three-yard line. Norb Koll, Jay quarterback, knocked down a fourth down pass. Nick Padgen, Creighton center, was one of the brightest features of the game by virtue of his fine defensive play. Line Coach Tom Gorman ' s forward wall proved to be a perfected offensive machine by opening huge holes in the Shocker line, and moving down the field fast to take out the secondary de- fenders. Brill and Smith, Shocker luminaries, found the going tough against the hard-hitting Creighton ends and tackles. Creighton 39, St. Benedict ' s 6 Breaking a winning streak that had continued since the ' 37 Raven-Bluejay encounter, the Hilltoppers ran wild to chalk up a 39-6 victory over a hapless St. Benedict ' s eleven. Don Fleming copped high scoring honors by galloping 70. 40, and 12 yards for touchdowns. Shortly after the opening of the second half, the Jay halfback threw the fans in an uproar by stealing the ball from Ziemba, big Raven end, to make his 40-yard dash for scoring territory. Knolla also ran the wing for a touchdown and Johnny Leahy, senior fullback, barged over from the two to chalk up another for the Jays. Art Locke, quarterback, , (Jokno jQcx iy % raced into the end zone to take a beautiful 4S-yard pass from the arm of Bill Ziesel. The Ravens ' only score resulted from Jack Andrews ' pass to Captain Gus Milak who raced over from the ten to chalk up six points for the Kansans. Blocking on the line and in the backfield was exceptionally line, and once in the open, Jay backs were hard to down as blockers quickly moved down the field to remove all opposition. The game was played on a cold, damp fiield with the temperature below the freezing point. Creighton 34, Loyola An enthusiastic group of Bluejay followers was on hand at the Omaha Union station when the Creighton team embarked for New Orleans to meet Larry Moon Mullins ' Loyola university Wolfpack. Playing under condi- tions which were a complete reversal to those of the St. Benedict ' s game, the Jays surprised the Southerners with a 34-0 trouncing. The hot sun and 90 degree temperature proved little hindrance to the spirited Jays as they passed and ran for huge gains. Fleming, Truscott, Knolla, the two Ziesels, Johnny Piet, Johnny Leahy, Bob Golonka, Ray Scott, Jim Hall and Johnny Reilly found the going just right, chalking up 24 first downs, 439 yards from scrim- mage, and five touchdowns. Loyola was held for five first downs and 121 yards. Leahy and Fleming each made long runs which were recalled and penalties assessed. Marshall Kittleson came into the game in the closing minutes of play, with enough time remaining to take Jim Hall ' s pass in the end zone. Bill Ziesel ' s two long scoring runs drew applause from the Wolfpack fans. Jay blockers performed in their usual fashion, and the Wolfpackers were unable to withstand the offensive thrusts of their Omaha visiters. Final score, Creigh- ton 34; Loyola Wolf Pack 0. Creighton 38, North Dakota State V ictory over the Bisons of North Dakota State would place the Bluejays among the great Hilltop teams of 1921, ' 24, and ' 27. Graduating seniors, eleven in number, were on hand to help in the establishment of such a record. The Big Four were up to their usual performance; Fleming found his reverse Qeoc ?7J3A (QJUliamOjde A eJcJ adgren Toi ' CHDowx Pass Falls Short ' ir f Knolla Stopped bv Wk hita c ohnJ iei, successful for one touchdown, and Johnny Knolla ' s passing, accurate as usual, gave Fleming two more six-point counters. Later, Fleming dropped back to pass to Knolla for the fourth touchdown. Piet counted by crossing the goal- line from the two-foot line. Hill Ziesel then wrote a story book finish to his career by running back to pass, eluding a whole field of tacklers after being trapped 66 yards from scoring territory, finally crossing over the goal-line standing up. Xorth Dakota State 0, Creighton Bluejays in their last encounter of the year, 38. It was the last game for eleven White and Blue stalwarts: Johnny Piet, Johnny Leahy, Billy ' ' The Big Zipper Ziesel, Omer Kelly, Xick Padgen, Dick Rucki, Stan Gromnicki, Roy Engelbretson, Mit Stoffel, Bob Golonka and Frank Jones. With the season over. Hilltop statisticians began the task of collecting data on the past campaign. When totals were computed, it was found that the Jays had carried on a highly successful campaign in every department. During the season, the Creighton team had exhibited exceptionally fine blocking. The Creighton coaching staff had directed its efforts toward build- ing a powerful offensive combination, and blocking took up a large share of each practice session. The effects of this practice were seen in each game. Behind this fine blocking, Creighton backs moved skillfully for large gains. At the close of the season, the record of three backs drew much comment for it compare d favorably with other major backfields in the middlwest. Al Truscott, sophomore fullback, carried the ball a total of 43 times, and gained a total of 238 yards, averaging 5 yards per try. Johnny Knolla, sophomore half, carried the ball a total of 81 times for a total gain of 569 yards, averaging 7 yards per try. Don Fleming, sophomore right half- back, carried the ball 101 times, including passes, laterals, runs from scrim- mage and interceptions for a total gain of 754 yards, averaging 7 yards per try. Johhny Knolla compiled one of the outstanding passing records in the na- tion, surpassing the performances of several of the nation ' s passers who were given all-American recognition for that particular ability. He threw 47 passes, completed 23 for a total gain of 362 yards. Eighteen passes were c oe2uinri I incomplete and the other six intercepted by opponents. One out of every two Knolla passes went successfully into the hands of a Creighton receiver to give the flashy Chicagoan a passing average of .500. Knolla lost only 28 yards from scrimmage in eight games. Don Fleming was the high scorer in the Missouri Valley conference for 1938. The Sioux Citian scampered for 14 touchdowns, and scored two points after touchdowns for a season ' s total of 86 points. Fleming stood fifth in the nation ' s scoring parade, and was the leading sophomore scorer. From rushing plays, the Creighton team piled up an impressive yardage, 1,749 yards to the opponents ' combined yardage of 834. From passes, the Jays gained 611 yards to the opponents ' 515. During the season, the Schwartz- men completed 44% of 90 attempted passes, and scored a total of 179 points to 40. Creighton fans who have seen the Hilltop teams in action for a number of years were particularly pleased with the wide-open style of play which the Jays favored throughout the campaign. The new football rules which went into effect before the ' 38 season had opened, gave themselves over to an open style of play, and the Jay ball-luggers were ardent defenders of the razzle-dazzle type of football. What is the outlook for 1939? During the season, four men had carried the brunt of the end-play; Roy Engelbretson, Stan Gromnicki, at the left- end post, while Clarence Stoffel, and Lee Dippel worked at the other flank. Engelbretson, Gromnicki, and Stoffel were senior performers. Fans began to fear that these posts would suffer by their absence. Spring football practice began March 20. Coaches Schwartz, Gorman, and Eaton saw some 68 men trot out for the spring session. When the end crop was singled off, three men showed promise at left-side play, and five men were worked at the other flank. Jerry Harms, who had performed during the ' 38 season at guard, was moved out to the left-end. Jake Hartsell, Montana boy, returned to school at mid-semester. Jack Pease, former Creighton Prep stand- out, made a bold bid during the spring drills for an end position. The right end situation was equally as bright. Leo Dippel, right-end letter- man, returned to competition. Stan Hobbs, Marshall Kittleson, and Leo Seib, QlarenceStqffel Jfi Truscotir Gromnicki Plows Toward Goal Interference Clears Knolla ' s Way all of whom have varsity experience, showed good promise, while Joe Boyle looked good among freshmen candidates. One of Line Coach Tom Gorman ' s greatest problems was to replace Nick Padgen and Omer Kelly, two of the finest pivot men ever to play for the Blue- jays. Bill Kckhardt, who had played with the ' 37 freshmen team returned to school for further competition. Gene Skarda, freshman standout, made a serious bid for a varsity post. Stan Putnicki, burly freshman tackle, was moved to the center position, and showed himself a capable performer while Mullaney, another freshman, worked at length at center in spring drills. With a wealth of veteran material at guard, tackle, and backfield posts, freshman aspirants were forced to labor hard for posts which will put them in action with the varsity next fall. Coach Schwartz announced the first day that all berths are thrown open. An added incentive for seeking varsity positions w-as given to Jay candi- dates early in January, when the athletic officials announced that the Creigh- ton team would journey to the sunny clime of California for a game with the San Francisco Dons in Sacramento, December 3. While the Creighton team was returning from New Orleans, where the Blue- jays had scored a one-sided victory over the Loyola Wolfpack, the squad mem- bers petitioned Coach Schwartz to seek a game with Washburn, a Missouri- Valley conference team. The team members were of the opinion that another game in the Valley would make them eligible for the league title. When the conference rules were carefully scrutinized the Head Mentor announced that four games was the required number of consideration in the Valley title race. In the ' 39 season, the Jays will have an opportunity to prove conclusively that they are one of the best elevens in Valley play. They will meet every con- ference foe in gridiron warfare. As the footballs flew above the stadium soil during the spring practice ses- sion, and while large groups gathered to watch the Saturday scrimmages, the growing enthusiasm had already m.anifested itself, that with veterans in almost every position, and w ' ith strong replacements movin g up from the freshmen ranks, the watchword of Hilltop football can best be expressed by the war-cry of last fall ' s campaign, This is the year! [ 7illia 7iZLesel ? i dja hetba w. HEN the ' 38, ' 39 cage season came to a close, Creigh- ton fans surprisingly were pleased with the hardcourt campaign. vSurprisingly, if victories alone were to be counted, for Bluejay oppo- nents copped twelve games to the Hilltoppers ' eleven, but of greatest interest to the fans was the per- formance of individual Jay stand- outs which they followed with an exceptionally keen interest. The most consistent thriller was Carl Roman Roh, whose name will remain synonomous with out- standing Creighton basketball for years to come. This lanky, dynamic center established a new Missouri Valley conference scoring record of 160 points in 14 Valley games. Offensively, Roh displayed great power, speed, and playing precision. His shooting was amazingly accurate; in 23 games he gained a total of 258 points for the Bluejays. Roh ' s double threat was largely due to his two-fold ability — ball handling, and his exceptional ability of leaping high off of the floor to snag passes, or to take ball off the Edgar S.

The Roman kid was a unanimous choice for the coaches ' first all-Missouri Valley conference selections, while Captain Dick Shaw, holder of the old scoring record of 147 points, was awarded an honorable mention to climax three years of all-Valley choice, having won two first team berths in preceding season. As the season ' s close rolled around, the Bluejays began to hit a torrid pace. The Mighty Iba Aggies from Oklahoma A. M. fell victim to the new surprising power, finally to lose clear title to the Valley flag, and the Washburn Ichabods found the Jays too fast in the season ' s final game. One of the pleasant surprises for the Bluejay fans was the campaign carried on by Roy Engelbretson, brother of Emil Box Engelbretson, former Creighton stalwart. When the Creighton team en- tered the stretch drive, Engelbretson put on an offensive thrust which was sizzling to say the least, while his defensive play at the guard post, was equally as effective. Gerald Monteen, senior handyman, after bowing to injuries for a part of the season, contributed to the Jay cause in the stretch drive. Captain Dick Shaw, after playing two outstanding seasons for the Jays, found opponent defenses too aptly set, and was not able to pile up the huge scores of two seasons past. Richard Shaw Captain 1938-39 Varsity Basketb. ll Squad 105 J?ot 6igelbj:etsori jDonfd iorydng ' Cyke fg O- g JjaskewaLL Sejison L OACH EDDIK HICKKV issued an early call for basketball. In fact, the Head Mentor had some of his men drill- ini; two months before the seasons opening. When the football season was completed, the full squad beji;an an intensive preparation for a tough 23-game schedule which included Minnesota of the Big Ten, Iowa State of the Big Six. DePaul of Chicago, Rockhurst of Kansas City, Wyoming, Denver, and Colorado State Teachers of the Rocky Mountain con- ference, South Dakota of the North Central, and fourteen games in the Mis- souri Valley conference. Coyotes are sometimes like elephants, they never forget. The South Dakota Coyotes had much to remember about the Bluejays when they dropped in for a visit at ' ermillion, December 15. For one thing, the Jays had won every con- test out of the last ten, and the Bluejay football team had imposed a serious defeat upon the Coyotes during the fall campaign. It wasn ' t too surprising, then, when the Dakota boys got down to serious business to turn back the Bluejays, 40-34. Quinten Evers, reserve forward, turned the trick for the Coyotes. After watching two years of action from the bench, Evers was given that one big chance to show his wares, and five buckets coupled with a free throw not only proved his worth, but made him the high-point man for the evening. South Dakota had a comfortable lead at the half-way mark, which they lengthened during the second period. With three minutes to go, the score standing at 26-39, Marsh Kittleson and Captain Dick Shaw, connected for eight quick points. The Jay rally fell short as the gun sounded ending the game. Moving on to Minneapolis two days later, the Bluejays tackled the fast- moving Gophers of Minnesota university. The Gophers had piled up a dozen straight victories, and the Jays found their pace too fast, bowing, 47-32. Minnesota was quick to grab an early lead which the Jays never headed during the remainder of the game. Dick Shaw connected for five field goals and three gift tosses. Roman Roh accounted for four field goals. Wyoming Scores Two Points S ' vi € 1 14 - r m ' r.M 9f A Roach Scores Against Washington U. Marsh Kittleson sparked the Bluejays to a 57-49 conquest of the Wyoming university quintet in the first home game of the season. Kittleson hit the bas- ket for 17 points, while Dead-Eye Dick Shaw, rang the bell for a half-dozen fielders and five charity tosses. Roh banged an even dozen points to figure prominently in the Bluejay pursuit. Clark and Young, two stratosphere performers from the Cowboy country, gave the Jays no little trouble by passing the ball around in the upper regions of the gymnasium. Winterholler, with 15 points, led the Wyoming scoring parade. Coach Eddie Hickey packed his Bluejays for a four-game trip which car- ried them to Kansas City, Denver, Laramie and ended at Greeley, Colorado. Down Kansas City way, the Hickey men went about to fashion a 37-31 win over a hapless bunch of Rockhurst cagers. Roman Roh garnered nine field goals and a free throw to count more than half of the Jays ' total points. Captain Dick Shaw hit from the field five times. The Creighton team built up a comfortable margin in the first half, 18-10, but were pressed by the Missourians throughout the second half. With a representative crowd of Creighton alunmi from the Mile High city in the stands, the Hilltoppers went on to win from Denver university, 52-42. A half time lead, 27-16, gave Coach Hickey an opportunity to use every member of his traveling squad. Roh and Kittleson gave an impressive exhibition of ball handling and stylized passing, never forgetting that the pay-off co.res in points. Roh scored from the field eight times while Marsh Kittleson connected for five and a charity toss. Dick Shaw scored 11 points while putting forth a highly polished floor game. Robino. Engelbretson, Roach, and ' an Berkum, all guards, barged into the scoring columns by connecting for eight, three, and two points respectively. With a one-victory edge over the Cowboys, who headquarter at Laramie Wyoming, the Bluejays dropped in for a visit, January 2. The Cowboys proved themselves to be poor hosts by turning back their Omaha visitors, 47-36. For- ward Clarence Kuiper not only controlled the ball for the greater part of the game, but scored 17 points during that time. Shaw, Roh, and Kittleson hit for 14, 12. and 6 points respectively. Young and Clark, towering guards, once more gave the Jays much trouble by passing JlscL CQUey jDa.yz Ce.lli ' cLcshallJdttleson Geraid AionisGyi the ball high off the court. Only high-leaping Roman Roh could hold much of an argument with the two Cowboy barricaders. Roh and Shaw produced 25 points in the contest at Greeley, Colorado, the next day, but they were the only Jays able to penetrate the Greeley defense with any degree of consistency, while Kelimoff and Reed, forwards; Campbell, center; and the two guards, Hallinan and Marsh, were pouring them in from everywhere on the court. Each of the aforementioned Teachers scored not less than nine points apiece, and when the gun sounded, they had taken a 50-37 win from the Omaha visitors. With the Christmas vacation over, the Creighton team returned to action against the Washington Bears in their first Valley conference game of the year. The Bluejays piled up a quick lead to hold an 18-11 half time advantage. The lead didn ' t last very long in the second period as the Bears trotted to the free- throw lane, and consistently cashed in on gift chances to score 12 free tosses. Creighton fought desperately to overcome the advantage gained by Washing- ton only to hear the gun sound a 34-30 triumph for the Bears. Creighton scored 14 field goals to the Bears ' 12. Another vacation proved no hindrance to the Jays when they returned to action January 13 against the Bears for their second encounter — this one at St. Louis. With Roh. Shaw, Monteen, Roach. Engelbretson and Don Flem- ing hitting the hoop with startling regularity, the Jays went on to win 41-32. Iggy Uhlemeyer, Washington guard, was the only Bear to penetrate the Jays ' defensive, scoring eight goals and three charity tosses to lead all scorers for the evening with 19 points. Roh and Shaw each copped 1 1 points, while receiving good support from Robino. Fleming and Engelbretson. Marsh Kittleson turned in a fine floor game, breaking into the scoring column via two points gained on foul con- versions. The Jays moved to the St. Louis university gym the following evening to take an overtime thriller 34-31. Roh and Shaw gave the Jays an early lead which the Billikens managed to trim down, 17-13 at the halftime. Again the two Jay stalwarts poured in a barrage of points to build the score to 25-15 shortly after the start of the second half. St. Louis soon stiffened its defense while opening up a flashy offense to bring the regular game to a 29-all deadlock as the gun sounded. Kayo Robino dropped in a free throw and Roh Wyoming Watches Shaw Shoot .V f- -t ♦ • ' - ' A RoBiNO Setup Against Drake sank his eighth field goal to put the Jays ahead in the overtime. Bill Cochran came back with a two-point counter, but free throws by Robino and Kittleson clinched the game for the Jays. The Creighton defense looked like a much improved machine when the Jays went against the Cyclones, January 28. The Towans found getting in close to the basket a tough proposition, and they were forced to take their chances from far out in the field. When the halftime gun sounded, the Jays were leading their Big Six rivals, 18-11. Once more in the second period, the Blues kept up their torrid pace. A Cyclone rally was checked at 27-26, and then the Jays went to work, putting the game in the well-known icebox. Kittleson was the standout of the evening, clicking for five fielders to tie with Bull Nicholas, tall Iowa State center, for scoring honors. Dick Shaw turned in a magnificent floor game while contributing nine points to the Jays ' cause. Roman Roh, and Roy Engelbretson were factors in aiding the winning quintet to take a 35-29 victory. Bill Cochran, Billiken forward, single-handedly robbed the Bluejays of a second conference victory over St. Louis. With the Bluejays out in front, 18-14 in the last minute of play, Cochran broke down the floor twice to flip in a brace of buckets. Roman Roh rang the bell with a fielder, a one-handed toss from the side, and again Cochran countered, dribbling all the way from mid- court. George Hassar flipped a quick goal to put the Billikens out in front 22- 20. Tight guarding featured the evening ' s play. Roman Roh carried the Blue- jay scoring burden with four baskets and a free throw. Fleming, Dudenhoefer, and Cochran played outstanding ball for St. Louis, the last named scoring nine points to lead the invaders, in their 22-20 conquest. Very little basketball science was exhibited when the Jays met the Ichabods of Washburn two days later. Both teams played rough ball — a total of 30 fouls being called. Amsbaugh and Sanneman of Washburn, and Roach of Creighton were e- jected via the foul route. Now and then, a player would break loose towards the basket to score. Roman Roh was a two-to-one chance to be the player, as the lanky center piled up 1 5 points. At the half, the Jays managed to clamp on to a 16-15 lead. Very little foul- l iJ s•oy y ocu J f KoLyo ohinx oman oh. oC oSeli) inji; siTiiied intentional, however, for both teams were playing an over-anxious game. Mackey, Amshaugh and Center Sanneman carried the Washburn battle to the very finish, only to see their team bow, 36-29. The Jays then packed their bags for a trip down South. C ' het Henefiel ' s Tulsa crew were hosts to the Bluejays, February 4. Tulsa fans saw their ag- gregation click with the precision of a Swiss watch, as the Hurricanes rolled over the luckless Omahans, 55-42. Roh, Shaw, and Kittleson were the bom- barders for the Hilltopper aggregation, but the frequent counters of Lamprich, Patterson, and Kelly kept the Omaha quintet behind all during the game. Despite Shaw ' s 15 points. Roh ' s 6 fielders, and Kittleson ' s 8 points, the Creighton team could not find the additional power to overtake the high-flying Hurricanes. Henry Iba ' s league-leading Oklahoma Aggies didn ' t give the Hluejays much opportunity to score two nights later at Stillwater. Jesse Renick, Aggie for- ward, was the main thorn in the Rluejays ' side, as he connected for six goals while playing everywhere, all of the time. Neither team scored during the first seven minutes in the first half, the mid- way count being Aggies 13, Creighton 8. Roh and Shaw went goalless while Kittleson grabbed seven points to pace his teammates. After hearing much about the scoring ability of Bluejay Roman Roh, the Aggies took great precaution against the Valley ' s high scorer. Doyle, standout . ggie guard, was assigned to repulse the Roman ' s thrusts. .All during the game, he followed the Jay center over the court. When Coach Hickey substituted, the Aggie guard walked to the sidelines with the Roman to be very sure he actually was leaving the game. Paul Griffith, willowy center for the Drake Bulldogs, ran a total of 27 points when the Des Moines quintet moved into Omaha, February 11. The 30-point record of Creighton ' s own Cornie Collin, former Hilltop luminary, received a severe threat as the tall, lanky Bulldog forward bagged within three points. With an exceptionally fine exhibition of passing, the Drake quintet broke through the Jay defense time and time again to break Griffith free for under- basket shots. Roh was the leading threat of the Jays once rrore by caging seven fielders and three free throws for a total of 17. But the Jays just Roh Scores Two Points «•♦ x u i ■ ♦ (JI J V; y SB ' DePaul Sees Roman ' s One-hander couldn ' t find an answer to the quick thrusts of Bulldog Griffith, finally to bow by a 50-41 count. Grinnell came to Omaha for an entanglement with the Bluejays. Roman Roh got off to a fast pace, and while the Pioneers were trying to find some way of stopping him, he had swished through seven one-hand shots. Roach, Kittle- son and Shaw broke into the scoring with nine, eight, and six points respectively to bolster up the Jay argument. Luther bagged twelve points to lead the Grin- nell threat. His floor game earned him the enthusiastic applause of the Bluejay fans as he left the game late in the fourth quarter. Hitting with amazing ac- curacy, the Jays took the game handily, 44-38. The DePaul Demons stopped over for a skirmish with the Jays on their trip west, and the game proved to be a rougher contest than the Washburn embro- glio. Captain Bob Neu, DePaul forward, was party to most of the evening ' s action, keeping in mind ahvays that the main object of the game is to put the circular object through the circular object. He bagged 17 points. Roy Engel- bretson rang the bell with a half-dozen fielders. Roman Roh, althought subject to special attention, managed to garner eight points. When the gun sounded, DePaul was on the long end or a 39-31 count. Roy Engelbretson put on a one-man exhibition of offensive and defensive play when the Tulsa Hurricanes came to town for their second encounter with the Jays. While playing a bang-up defensive game, which held the Tulsans far out from the basket, Roy slipped away often enough to score four buckets and two free pitches. The Blues trailed at the half, 15-12, but it didn ' t take them a great deal of time to cop the lead when play got under way in the second period. Roh, Kit- tleson, Roach and Ziesel fought valiantly to score a 32-27 Bluejay triumph. Drake broke a six-point Creighton lead in the last three minutes of the second game at Des Moines, to turn back the luckless Hilltoppers, 45-35. Roh whipped in five goals and three free throws while Shaw and Kittleson were collecting eight and nine points respectively. Engelbretson had apparently solved the Bulldog offensive attack, but went out in the fourth quarter. Griffith with 15 points, O ' Connor with 12 and Ah- renkiel with 11, led the Drake attack. Twenty-two times the Hilltop cage teams had gone out to war against the JltchardSAaio t ake.Van£QrJcujn Q neZ eseL Pioneers, and 20 times they returned victorious. In the last meeting as Valley opponents, the Pioneers were able to plaster a 56-38 defeat upon their tradi- tional rivals. Luther Nash and Luick, forward and center, scored from every point on the small floor to hit for 14, 13 and 9 points. Roh, gunning for the V alley scor- ing title, broke loose in the last six minutes to build up a 11-point total. Creighton fans will long remember the amazing exhibition which Roman Roh, Roy Engelbretson and the Bluejay company put on when the Aggies came to town for their second encounter with the Bluejays, March 4. The Iba boys were the league-leaders, with Creighton the only serious ob- stacle between them and sole possession of the coveted Missouri Valley con- ference championship. The score at the half was Aggies 22, Creighton 11. But, the pay-off doesn ' t come via half-time scores, and the Bluejays opened up an amazing story-book drive in the second half to take a 31-28 victory. It was the last home game for Roh, Engelbretson and Monteen, and each was at his peak. Roh broke Shaw ' s 1938 scoring record by cashing in on 11 points while Renick, Doyle and Slade fought tirelessly to hold him down. En- gelbretson broke down the floor repeatedly to break up the smooth-passing Aggie offensive, and bring the ball back down the floor once more into Jay scoring territory. Monteen garnered two baskets while turning in the best floor game of his career. Asa Kelley proved his value by controlling the ball during much of the evening ' s play, especially in the closing minutes. Creighton outscored the Aggies from the floor 13-11. The Ichabods missed 60 attempts to score in the Bluejays ' last game of the season at Topeka. Roach, Jay guard, scored 11 points to take high scoring honors for the evening. Roman Roh closed his outstanding court career by bagging seven points to bring his Valley record to 160 points. Unable to cope with the Jays ' fast break, the Ichabods bowed 34-31. Roh, Monteen, and Engelbretson played their last game for the Bluejays. Captain Dick Shaw, injured in the second Grinnell encounter, was unable to make the trip. Marsh Kittleson, junior forward, was chosen to captain the ' 39- ' 40 cage team. His selection was announced at the annual basketball dinner sponsored by the Creighton club of Omaha. Kittleson is the third Huron, South Dakota, player to be accorded the honor, Cornie Collin, and Emil Box Engelbretson, having been earlier recipients. Oklahoma A. M.

It was the lot of the freshmen to test the varsity power three times each week in scrimmage. Reason No. 2 — The physical condition of the squad was not at a high ebb dur- ing the entire season because of injuries suffered in the Drake-Creighton Frosh game. Against Drake, the Youthful Blues bowed 26-7, after holding a one-point lead at the end of the first half, as a re- sult of Fitzgerald ' s pass to Mullin, and a point after touchdown conversion by Healy, Jay guard. Drake connected with accurate passes during the second half, to score three touch- downs. Mullin, Jay half, and Skarda, center, were taken from the game early in the third period because of injuries. Standouts in the Creighton attack were Captain Fitzgerald, left halfback, and Ber- nard Healey, guard. The Drake game was the only formal contest for the Creighton frosh during the season. In the spring football session. Coach Marchie Schwartz tried the frosh at various posts in an effort to find his strongest offensive and defensive combination. Duce Belford was assisted by Robert Zuercher in coaching the young Bluejays. 48 - Z 114 Freshman Football Squad reskman JjaskeibaLi C OACH Duce Belford sent a flashy freshman club into action fourteen times during the regular basketball sea- son.

Engelbretson is the third of a family of Creighton court performers. Highlighting the season was the Frosh- Immortals clash on the Creighton gym floor, March 1. After a close defensive battle, the Frosh took command of the situation to win handily, 27-21. The Young Blues suffered their lone defeat in the last game of the year. Play- ing the preliminary to the colorful Okla- homa A M-Creighton varsity game, the frosh bowed to the Omaha university frosh, 34-37. During the game, the Young Blues held the advantage most of the way only to see their lead melt away in the closing seconds of play. The Belfordmen met the Omaha university frosh four times during the season, de- feating them by 36-30, 58-43, and 38-30 scores. Standouts in the frosh attack were Captain Xorman Engelbretson, Eugene Halde- man and Bob Fitzgerald. Total points scored by the Creighton frosh were 802, while their opponents garnered 327.

V. Duce Belford. Assisted by Willis Lee, Belford directed play in three circuits, the Open, Frater- nity and Football leagues. The largest league ever to be organized saw 1 7 student squads competing for the right to be one of the five Open league representatives in the All-University championship tourney which closed the season in March. The Open league squads included the Habba Habba Club, Seven Dwarfs, Rene- gades, Faux Pas, 620 Club, Jay Tigers, Press Club, Four Rahs, Bowling Reds. Wareham Giants, C.U.P.A., Law Frosh, Bowl- ing Blues, Wareham Hot-Shots, Independents, Kansas Club and Trojans. The Fraternity league included Phi Chi, Phi Beta Pi, Phi Rho Sigma, Xi Psi Phi, Belta Sigma Pi, Alpha Chi Kappa and Belta Sigma Belta. The small Football circuit found the Ballakalava Club, Beadeyes and Krocadile Kids competing. Featuring this year ' s play was the fact that spectators were often on hand to watch the games. This was particularly true of the Sunday afternoon games when Fraternity league squads were playing. No rule changes were invoked as the teams played their round-robin schedule. As in J. ' . Belford Director Faux Pas Open League Champions 116 the past, no varsity or freshmen squad members were eligible for the intramural contests. Players were permitted to play on more than one team with the stipula- tion that the teams must be in separate leagues. Night school students were also eligible. Forfeiture of games resulted in the cases in which teams failed to appear within 30 minutes of the scheduled start- ing time. A team using a player not regis- tered as a member of the squad was forced to discard any points made by that player. As in former years the intramural play slowed down during the varsity cage sea- son. With the completion of the Blue- jays ' home contests the league settled down to a full schedule of games. The climax came late in March with the inter-league tournament for the All-Uni- versity championship. With teams in every league fighting for spots in the tourney for the university title, the race narrowed down to several of the top-notch squads as the tourney drew near. Finally chosen to compete for the college crown were the five leaders in the Open league, three from the Fraternity and the champion squad of the Football circuit. A trio of undefeated aggregations took championship honors in the three leagues as season play came to a close. The title awards found the Faux Pas winning the cham- pionship of the big Open league; the Phi Beta Pi quintet taking the Fraternity crown; and the Ballakalava Club in first place in the Football league. Willis N.

A small team lack- in 2; the scoring power of several of their rivals, the P ' aux Pas presented a tight defense which stopped all comers as they completed their schedule with six victories in as many games. Second place honors went to the Independents and 620 Club as each squad won five contests and lost one. Other Open representatives chosen for the University tourna- ment were the Dowling Reds and the Jay Tigers. In the Fraternity league race the Phi Beta Pi quintet chalked up four straight vic- tories to edge the defending champion Phi Chi club to gain first place. Included in the Beta five ' s record was an early season win over the Phi Chi ' s. Sharing the runnerup position with Phi Chi was the Delta Sigma Pi squad which also was a frat circuit repre- sentative in the final tourney. Few games were played in the three-team Football league as the gridiron men were busy with other athletic chores. The title went to the strong Ballakalava Club as they knocked the Krocadile Kids out of the running. The Ballakalavas were the only Foot- ball league delegation in the elimination tourney.

The Open champion Faux Pas started their circuit competition with a tight 31-30 win over the speedy Press Club squad. The Faux Pas completed their schedule by blasting the Seven Dwarfs, 49-20. The 620 Club missed a share of the title by a hair as they dropped their final game of the season to an accurate Independent squad by a 32-26 margin. Another Open league thriller saw the Jay Tigers trip the Independents, 16-15. The Jay Tigers and the Dowling Reds finished in a fourth place tie in the Open circuit. Feature game of the Fraternity schedule was that between Phi Beta Pi and Phi Chi. The Beta victory proved to be the championship game in that league. The champions finished their schedule with a 36-18 win over Xi Psi Phi. In the Football league the Ballakalavas were the class of the field as they took high honors in the final reckonings. The Krocadile Kids wound up in second place and the Deadeyes were third. The high mark for season ' s scoring was set in an early February game when the 620 Club copped a 92-9 victory in direct contrast to the usual close games. John Dahlman made 37 points in this contest to set the high individual mark of the schedule. I ., I . I , II ' ' ! ' Li- ' ' !■ ' ' ' .

Representatives of each of the chosen teams met in the athletic office as Director Belford supervised the drawings for the first round. The Dowling Reds and the Jay Tigers were to meet in a preliminary game to adjust the schedule as the tourney began. First round pairings matched the Ballakalava Club and Phi Beta Pi; Faux Pas and Delta Sigma Pi; 620 Club and Phi Chi. and the Independents to meet the Dowling- Jay Tiger winner. Giving impetus to the intramural play at the start of the cage season was a pre- season tournament which gave an insight into the capabilities of the squads. The Open league teams met in the finals as the Jay Tigers defeated the Faux Pas outfit, 28-20 to take the title. As the inter-league tourney ended plans were being made for an intra- mural banquet with Duce Belford as guest of honor. The affair, first of its kind at Creighton, was being sponsored by The Creightonian. At the banquet, medals were to be awarded members of the championship teams. r- I ■ I ; I ; r— r I Xi Psi Phi 120 ( yyresuin() Ai .MOTHER competitive sport was added to the ever-growing athletic program of Creighton univer- sity during the past year when the first varsity wrestling team was organized under the direction of Sebastian Cam- pagna, junior law student and former state high school wrestling champion. With the support of the Rev. David A. Shyne, S.J., regent of athletics, the grapplers made excellent showing in all public appearances and only lack of sufficient opposition kept the squad from a successful competitive season. It was impossible to secure collegiate competition at the late date of the team ' s organization. The squad of fourteen trained dili- gently all season. Twice, members of the team appeared in exhibition matches. Only one competitive match could be scheduled. The exhibition was before members of the Omaha Knights of Columbus. Campagna and his brother. Don, staged one bout, with two heavyweights, Tom O ' Connor and Al Truscott. completing the program. The com- petitive match was with the Omaha Jewish Community Center team, the Bluejays winning six of the seven bouts. The squad included: Sebastian Campagna, Don Campagna, Anthony Circo, Tom Kelley, Al Truscott, Ray Bronemann, Jack Lohrman, Erwin Tetiva, Arthur Johnson, Richard Tuite, Vincent .Armatis, Joseph Longo, and Russell Skovgaard.

Major Meinzen added 12 more men to the squad from those who took part in tryouts. Many new men who had never fired on a range before they came to Creighton were included on the squad. John Leahy and Robert Johnson were co-captains of the squad which consisted of Richard Grabow, Kenneth Rayhorn, Warren Schrempp, Warren Hughes, Robert Munch, Thomas O ' Con- nor, John Krejci. Ralph Carlisle, Robert Heimrod, John Lindstrom, John Lukpetris, Morris Peril and John White. A five-man team took part in the X.R.. . National Gallery Team tournament at Manhatta n, Kansas, and finished third. Other Bluejay riflers fired in the Indoor Camp Perry matches conducted at the Kemper Military School, Booneville, Missouri. These two were the outstanding and nost important matches of the year for the Creighton squad. At the Indoor Camp Perry matches Kenneth Rayhorn won individual honors in competitive shooting from a kneeling position. LAWRENCt VV.

These innovations are used in order to insert actual student acti- vity into the various sections of the yearbook and to brinfj out more conclusively that a college annual is the record of student life. An elaborate four-color opening sec- tion portrays five events which happened during the school year and which are symbolic of the out- standing phases of school activit throughout the year. Five drawings depict the scholastic, religious, athletic, social and the culmination of all school life, graduation, by means of typical and actual school events. In each of these pages the student is the leading tlgure. and his participation in campus life, the active part of the drawing. Tying in with the opening section and carrying through the idea of student partici- pation are the sub-division pages which this year contain actual candid photographs, summarizing and depicting the material which follows in that particular section. Twenty-four sub-division pages form connecting links which tie the entire book to- gether with the student activity theme. H Kiil I) ki inskn Editor Willis Lee Bettv Blackburne Robert Dippel 124 The fraternity and sorority section underwent a change intended to make that section one of the liveliest in the book. Again the student is injected into its pages to make the section different and more interesting. The page opposite the panel of members contains a candid picture of the officers, taken at times when they were most naturally engaged in living the normal life of college fra- ternity men. The inclusion of this pic- ture on the page made necessary a new arrangement of the page ' s contents which makes it attractive, not only for the person whose name appears on the page, but for each reader. With all this stress placed on student life and student activity came a new idea for their presentation. Slanting pictures were used extensively throughout the book intermixed with tilted and straight pictures to make for a variety of page layouts. The modernistic touch of slanting pic- tures, which is entirely new. lends an informal and different tone to the contents of the hook. The snapshot section, this year, contains free-hand cartoons which add a touch of humor and more life to each of its pages. Part of each page is devoted to these cartoons which tie in with the snapshots contained on the page. The staff of the 1939 Blue jay included: Harold Zelinsky, editor; Betty Blackburne and Willis Lee, assistant editors; Robert Dippel, sports editor; Jean Sullivan, James Muldoon.

Mem- bers of the editing class played a more prominent part this year in editing The Creightonian, when they spent an hour each Monday heading and editing Creightonian articles. New this year too was the practice of training freshmen journalists in the classroom several months prior to allow- ing them to serve as reporters. This inno- vation under the supervision of Professor Joseph P. Murphy proved a successful move. Freshmen then published a paper in competition with sophomores, fresh- men for the first time since 1935, win- ning the contest. Robert Gulley was managing editor of the freshmen edition. Richard Biglin was managing editor of the sophomore issue. P ' ollovving closely was the boys ' edition with James Muldoon, managing editor. Boys competed with an all-girl edition, of which Marjorie Rynaski, was managing editor. Judges for the freshmen-sophomore contest were: Hugh Hig- gins, Edward Lusienski and Mr. John G. P ' lannigan, S.J. . ll-boy all-girl edition judges were: Professor Hugh Fogarty, Hugh Higgins and Charlotte Anderson. The girl edition was judged winner by the narrow margin of four points. The largest amount of local advertising in four years appeared in The Creightonian issues as the business staff concentrated on contacting and servicing local accounts. Dr. Stuart A.

Its unusual title, Shadows, was selected because its pur- pose is to present an impressionistic pic- tuce of college life somewhat similar to the shadow cast by the sun. The bulk of Shadows is made up of poems, short stories, and essays. New this year was the David Jack Memorial Award, two fifty-dollar prizes for the best original short story and the best essay printed in one of the four editions of Shadows. All contributions and editing are handled by students, . ssisting Editor Wil- liam O ' Hollaren, in reading and editing the copy were John Budzik and Betty Black- burne. The Rev. F. J. Yealy, S.J., associate professor of English, acts as moderator. Members of the board of editors, many of whom were contributors to the magazine were: William O ' Hollaren, editor; Betty Shanahan, Joseph Soshnik, Vincent Thillen, Warren Schrempp, Nicholas Rieman, Vincent Lamb, John Budzik and Betty Black- burne. At the annual Shadows Christmas banquet. Father Yealy introduced members of the staff. Short talks were given by the Rev. Leo Mullany, S.J., former moderator, and the Rev.

Murphy, business manager of the school of journalism. Finding it necessary to handle four- fifths of the cost of publication of The Blucjay and The Crvight onian, the bureau must sell enough advertising to take care of the deficit not covered by the student publication fees. Concentrating this year upon local advertising, the bureau has endeavored to make advertisers realize the impor- tance of reaching the large buying power which the Creighton student body represents. Since the college market must be sold to advertisers on its merits, the bureau also strives to keep The Crcightonian and The Bluejay on a favorable plane in comparison with other college publications. Opportunities for active practice are offered to students interested in advertising careers through the bureau since they may come in direct contact with advertising and advertising copy. Assisting Mr. Murphy are: Harold Gordon, student advertising manager, and Jay Breen, who are in charge of all solicitations and connections with local advertising.

Joseph A. HtKHEKs, S.J Moderator JJramatL amaacs Prominent among extra-curricular activities again this year were the productions of the Creighton Players, campus dramatic organization founded in 1923. Any student in the university is eli- gible to try out for the plays. This democratic casting system has proved to be the finest practicable talent-seek- ing method. .All plays were directed by the Rev. Joseph .A. Herbers, S.J.. who has been moderator of dramatics for two years. Richard Coughlin handled the business manager ' s office for the second year, while Robert Burke proved his ability as a stage manager for his second season. No sooner had the ink dried on the registration cards, than Father Herbers began work on a comedy by James Gleason and Richard Taber, entitled Ts Zat So. ' eterans were called upon to handle the masculine leads, and with a diligent practice period over, the Creighton Players un- veiled their initial production, in the auditorium, October 20. A preview at St. Cath- erine ' s hospital and one at St. Joseph ' s hospital put the cast in first class theatrical condition. Is Zat So is the story of a down and out prize fighter and his manager who are attempting to win the champeenship. Henry Bristowe, last season ' s veteran, played the role of the fighter, with John Riordan, experienced newcomer, as his manager. The Cast in Is Zat 134 These two, aided by Thomas McEvoy, first year Thespian, succeed in proving the guilt of Thomas O ' Connor, Mc- Evoy ' s brother-in-law, in regard to some misguided finances. Object of Bristowe ' s affection was Anabel Shotwell, former Central High school luminary and Omaha Commu- nity Playhouse star. Miss Shotwell was employed in McEvoy ' s home, as was Elaine Dodson, who caught the fancy of Fight-Manager Riordan. O ' Connor, the sneering villain, proved to be as nasty an embezzler as ever tromped the Hilltop ' s boards. Highlight of the evening was the ex- hibition boxing match between the would-be champion and James Mul- doon. Refereed by Hugh Fitzpatrick, cast as an English gentleman, the fistic maneuvers delighted the packed audi- torium. Other members of the cast include: Phyllis Hill, Josephine McCarthy, John O ' Sulli- van, Stanley Oliverius and Betty Shanahan. Late in November. Father Herbers and his corps of thespians presented a play which will be long remembered on the Hilltop. The Masterful Monk was certainly the outstanding drama of the last five seasons. The Rev. Owen Francis Dudley, World War chaplain, authored the play. Critics hailed James Muldoon as the star. In The Masterful Monk, sinister Thomas McEvoy was cast as an atheistic scientist who tossed the moral code around with abandon. His attempts to win Bunny Scott, pretty heroine, over to his Godless ways and the intervention of Muldoon, cast Richard Coughlin Business Manager The Cast in The Masterful Monk 135 RolU.KT Bl kkK ;is an invalid, kept the audienre in an awed silence. The moral force of the play struck home with terrific lasting- ness. A special nook in the dramatic hall of fame should he set aside for Thomas O ' Connor. He has been identified with Creijihton productions for three years. In The Masterful Monk. he played the part of the priest, Father Thorn- ton. His sincere, earnest interpreta- tion of the character reminded critics of Spencer Tracy ' s portrayal of Kather I ' lannit an in Hoys Town. Other members of the cast: John Kiordan. impressive as Muldoon ' s way- ward brother, (leor e Kanouff, Harriet (loodhope. James Kisgen, Kthel Tom- lirink. John Parle and Katherine Gar- dipee. Stage Manager Burke ' s work on the set of The Masterful Monk received praise in regard to the lighting effects. Charles Ruvolo again headed the list of make-up men. Ruvolo ' s efforts have been lauded all year. Ha ing produced a comedy and a serious play. Father Berbers turned his efforts toward three one-act plays. Unique is the note that one of the plays listed an all- girls cast, one an all-boy cast, and a mixture of the two for the third one. Our Dearest Possession, by Robert Middlemass, featured the all -girl roster. Katherine Gardipee and her over-bearing mother-in-law, Phyllis Hill, presented a dramatic struggle over the hitter ' s family pride. The remainder of the cast included: Hunny Scott, Frances Chain, Florann Haynes and Jean Hill. The masculine element was the next one to emote. The plights of an aspiring play- wright, George Kanouff, is aired before Producer .August Palmesano and his intellectual assistants, James Kisgen and Hugh F ' itzpatrick. Palmesano ' s dialect and Kanouff ' s humble acting highlighted the evening. Roles in Changing Places were taken by three veterans, Edna Buchholz. Anne Schuetz, and Henry Hristowe plus Jack F ' reeman, novice. Plot centers around the un- happy home of Miss Buchholz and Bristowe. cast as husband and wife. The two decide that they will change positions in life. The experiences of Bristowe as a homemaker and Miss Buchholz as a real estate salesman provided a rollicking fifteen-minute enter- tainment. Peculiar this year is the fact that Father Herbers was twice called upon to select eleventh hour fill-ins. Two nights before Is Zat So was scheduled to be presented, veteran Hugh Fitzpatrick was moved from a minor part to the part of the English nobleman. Fitzpatrick ' s role was taken by James Muldoon, who performed in last year ' s Trail of the Lonesome Pine. 136 U ebate JJemie J easou A VKAR of building for the future under the direction of the Rev. James K. Or ford, S.J.. featured the season of Creighton ' s 1938-39 debate squad. With a group dominated by sophomores gaining their initial taste of inter- collegiate debate, the Creighton speakers participated in over 60 contests with teams from all sec- tions of the midwest. Facing the problem of replacing four veterans of last year ' s squad, Father Orford trained six sopho- mores to take the places of John Kerrigan. (Jail Burke. John Hed- rick and Robert Henatsch. Return- ing veterans this year were Leonard Leon, law freshman, and Robert Mullin, arts junior. Mullin also acted as debate manager. Newcomers to the squad were: Jeanne Stech and Mary Keenan. university college sophomores; Josephine McCarthy, commerce freshman; Owen Slaughter, arts sopho- more; and Robert Burke. Joseph Soshnik and James Muldoon, commerce sophomores. Jeanne Stech and Josephine McCarthy formed the first girls debating team in the history of Creighton debating.

Principal question used was, Resolved: That the United States Should Cease to Use Public Funds for the Purpose of Stimulating Busi- ness. Second question argued was, Re- solved: That the United States Should Join with Other Democratic Nations in a Program of Collective Security First competition of the season for the Jay speakers took the form of an experi- ence trip for the newcomers to the squad as six debaters traveled to Winfield, Kansas, on November 25, for the South- western college Invitational debate tour- nament. The inexperienced Creighton orators accredited themselves favorably as they garnered six victories from their 17 contests with the southern colleges. Making the trip were: Slaughter, Burke, Soshnik, Muldoon, Miss Stech and Miss McCarthy. Not until the new year did the Creighton speakers again go into action. On January 9, four talkers went to Des Moines to meet Drake university in a dual debate. MuUin teamed with Muldoon, and Soshnik with Burke, for the Jays in the two non-decision contests. Mullin and Muldoon became after-dinner speakers on January 26 as they trekked to Lincoln to debate a University of Nebraska team at a dinner of the Nebraska State Nurses Association. No decision was given.

Creifihton won five of 10 del ates there. February 9, Soshnik and Leon journeyed to Lawrence, Kansas, to meet the Uni- versity of Kansas orators in a non-decision contest. Continuing on to Kansas City the following day, they took part in a non-decision affair with Kansas City college. A Nebraska squad came to Omaha February 16 to argue with Leon and Soshnik in a non-decision contest before a meeting of the Tri-State Credit association. That same day two teams from Simpson college debated before audiences of Creighton stu- dents. Miss Stech and Miss Keenan represented the Hilltop school in one debate; Slaughter and Burke in the other. The next trip scheduled was a two-day jaunt into Iowa for four of the sophomores. Miss Keenan, Miss Stech. Hurke and Soshnik spoke at (irinnell college on February 22. The following day found them in Ames to debate members of the Iowa State squad. Both the Pioneer and Cyclone debates were non-decision. It was Iowa again the following week as Mullin, Muldoon, Slaughter and Burke represented Creighton in the L ' niversity of Iowa invitational tourney at Iowa City, March 2. , and 4. The Jays managed only three wins in the Iowa contests but took decisions from such schools as the University of Arkansas, University of Kansas, and the L ' niversity of Iowa. The big tourney of the year found Miss Stech, Mullin, Leon, Soshnik. Burke and Slaughter in Madison, Wisconsin, for the Delta Sigma Rho national tournament at the L ' niversity of Wisconsin. March 24 and 25. The Bluejays won five decisions in nine contests with leading midwestern squads. As the season neared an end the Creighton speakers were preparing for two more competitive events; a dual debate in Omaha with University of South Dakota teams; and the Missouri ' alley league tourney in Boulder. Colorado, . pril 16 and 17. Creighton was represented at the Delta Sigma Rho national debating congress in Washington. D. C, March 30 and 31, as former Jay debaters Clayton Shrout and John Hedrick, law seniors, made the trip. The entire 1938-39 squad will be eligible for inter-collegiate competition next year and will give Father Orford a veteran group of debaters. The Squad Talks Things Over 140 L eamrs i -jvimavi Hugh M. Higgins Director Rev. John C. Rawe, S. J. C ke Speakers Jjureau A DIRECT result of an experiment by the late Rev. Patrick J. Mahan, S. J., former presi- dent of the university, is the Creighton University Speakers Bureau. Feeling the need for an organi- zation of this type, Father Mahan introduce d the Creighton University Symposium on Government in 1934. Every Sunday for fourteen weeks one-hour talks were given in the Law building. Discussing such questions as the philosophy of government, The Constitution, economics, social welfare, agriculture, food and drug relations, and labor, the Symposium had as its theme The Need of the Nation Is an Enlightened Electorate. The success of the Symposium brought about the pres- ent Speakers bureau. Faculty members are selected to speak by the president of the university and outlines of their respective talks are published in a 40-page booklet. This bulletin is sent to organizations and clubs in Omaha, Council Bluffs, and outlying towns of Nebraska and Iowa. As explained in the foreword of the catalog, the main puropse behind the organization of the Speakers bureau is to aid in the promotion of education and good will in the middlewest. It reminds readers that the Creighton Ideal , to be of service to the people of Omaha and the midwest, can be further advanced by these men of proven ability selected from the faculties of the various schools and colleges of the Creighton university. Brief biographical data about the speaker and an in- Rev. Herbert C. Noonan, SJ. 142 Dr. John P. Begley Rev. Gerald H. FitzGibbon, S.J. formative outline of each talk is included in the catalog for the convenience of the presiding officer who introduces the speaker. The only formality necessary to procure any man on the list, is com- munication with him either by mail or telephone. This service is free of charge unless, of course, un- usual expense of travel is involved. One of the highlights of the talks is the series of ten lectures on Culture prepared by the Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S. J., dean of the graduate school. Covering culture in relation to education, character, society, religion, and other phases of a man ' s life, Father Bowdern delivered these addres- ses, on invitation in Boston, as well as at numerous other meetings during the past year. Including subjects of heterogeneous variety, speakers have journeyed as far as Indiana, Utah and Missouri to give talks. Almost every type of audience as well as those of conventions, churches, colleges, and synagogues has heard members of the Speakers bureau. No church or organization is re- fused if it is at all possible to oblige; but because of the popularity of the bureau, arrangements must sometimes be made months in advance if a specific address is de- sired. From the ranks of forty-three laymen and clergy, an organization may select talks dealing with sociology, ethics, science, government, child psychology-, and a myr- iad of other topics of contemporary interest. In addition to the speeches outlined in the catalog, speakers can pre- pare short lectures on almost any desired topic if re- quested to do so. Newly appointed to the directorate of the Speakers bureau, Hugh M. P. Higgins. alumni secretary, brings Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S. J. Rev. Ch.arles K. Hayden, S. J. Rev. Leo H. Mvllaxv, S. J.

Each of these men has on the average of five prepared talks which he can have ready at a moment ' s notice. Xo speaker duplicates a topic which is prepared by an- other member of the bureau. In this way, a splendid variety of subjects makes it pos- sible for clubs and organizations to procure lectures touching upon any topic or modern problem which interests them. It also aids the speaker in that he may prepare a com- plete survey of his subject without fear of duplication. Wallace W. Keexan Dr. Christopher L. Kexxy Dr. Leo V.

Besides regular classes in phi- losophy and religion, Creighton university maintains its high stand- ards as a Catholic educational in- stitution through these student organizations and through spon- sored activities for the promotion of student spiritual life. The hub around which campus spiritual life turns is the Creigh- ton Sodality of Our Lady, an or- ganization of Catholic students who propose to aim at a more than ordinary degree of earnest and practical Christian virtue. The purpose of the Sodality of the Immaculate Conception, however, is not limited to fostering the personal piety of its members. It aims, furthermore, at instruct- ing them in methods of Christian zeal and charity, and stimulating them to the per- formance of social works. By the complete education of its students, the university hopes to develop leaders who will play an important role in Catholic action. The University sodality and the sodalities of the affiliated schools form the Uni- versity Sodality union. This union plays an integral part in the government of the various sodalities. The Union of High School sodalities combined with the University RiV. Fk. ( IS (i DlCIMAN, Spiritual Counsellor J Spiritual Council 146 Sodality union constitutes the Omaha Sodality union. This year ' s union officers were: Joseph Slattery, president; Eugene Ben- edetto, vice president; and Betty Jarrett and Catherine Sullivan, secretaries. At the close of the first se- mester, all students of the uni- versity attended the annual three- day retreat. For the convenience of both Catholic and non-Catho- lic students, two separate weeks of retreat were held. This made it possible for students of both professional and non-professional schools to attend the discourses. The professional retreat, De- cember 7, 8, and 9, was given to Catholic students by the Rev. Thomas A. Knapp, S.J. The Rev. Ignatius A. Hamill, S.J., gave the non-Catholic professional retreat. At the end of the semester in non-professional schools, the Rev. Richard A. Cahill. S.J.. gave the Catholic retreat in St. John ' s church, January 25, 26 and 27. The Rev. William J. O ' Shaughnessy, S.J., was retreat master of the non-Catholic retreat in the Moot Court in the Law school. In the college library at the same time.

Noonday Benediction commemorated each of the major feasts of the year. A solemn triduum of holy hours preceded the feast of Christ, the King. A similar triduum prepared the sodality for the feast of the Immaculate Conception. This triduum closed with a special university mass for students and faculty. A Solemn High Mass, attended by all university students, was offered for the soul of Pius XI, February 17. Highlight of the organization ' s activities were the three mixers to enable men and women sodalists to become better acquainted. The mixers were held in the Student ' s Union club rooms. The annual Marian Xight, May 14, on the north lawn is a pilgrimage to the shrine of the Blessed Mother. Sodalists from all school sodalities of the city, singing hymns and reciting prayers, marched with lighted candles, to the grotto. There they renewed the Act of Consecration and witnessed the Solemn Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. MlDH AL hoKlM 151 Makv Anne Poind Preject Rkv. Joskpii a. Hkrrers.S. J.

ORDKR to assist those students who encounter financial diffi- culties while obtaining an education at rreifj;ht()n. the A ;nevv Loan fund is maintained and supervised by the Stu- dents Union Hoard of Governors. Founded in 1930 on the suggestion of the Rev. William Agnew, S.J., late president of the university, the loan fund has issued appro.ximately 400 loans amounting to $14,853.93 during the eight years it has functioned. It was Father .Agnew ' s wish that no needy and worthy student be denied a Catholic education by being forced to leave the university because of financial troubles and with that purpose in mind, the loan fund was established as a memorial to Father Agnew. The rules and regulations of the loan fund show that the administration and grant- ing of loans from the fund rest entirely in the hands of the S tudents Union Board of Governors. In order for a student to obtain a loan he must abide by the following procedure: the applicant first receives a blank from his union board representative. The blank is returned by the applicant to the union board repi esentative who turns the application over to the dean of the department in which the applicant is enrolled, for approval. If the application is approved by the dean, it is then given to the general loan fund committee which confers with the treasurer and finds out whether the student is deserving and if he is a good risk. If the applicant ' s record is approved and he is found to be deserving, the loan fund committee gives its approval and the loan is granted. In all cases the final word comes, not from the officials of the university, but from the student loan fund committee. Pierce Chambers headed the committee in c harge of carrying on the eighth annual loan fund drive which was concluded with the Loan Fund Appreciation dance on April 28, in the university gymnasium. Tickets were not placed on sale to the entire student body for this dance, but were issued to those students who pledged and paid $1.00 to the fund. The cup which was presented to the school of journalism last year was awarded to the school which made the largest donation in proportion to the number of students enrolled. Subscriptions and pledges are paid annually or in semi-annual or quarterly install- ments. The committee in charge included one representative from each department who were: Clarence Stoffel, arts; Gerard Wolke, commerce; Willis Lee, journalism; Louis Westendorf, dentistry; Frederick Jardon, medicine, and Norvin Jones, pharmacy. 156 iUiar X 0. c a IrAINING students in military tactics during peace time in order to furnish efficient and capable military strength, has been the purpose of the Reserve Officers training Corps since it was estab- lished on the Creighton campus. The corps was organized here 20 years ago at the request of uni- versity officials. Military courses are offered all those students who are physically qualified for a period of two years. Those whose applications are ap- proved for admission to the ad- vanced courses are oppointed sec- ond lieutenants in the Infantry Reserve corps, U. S. Army, after two additional years of satisfactory work. First student to receive such an appoint- ment was notified in 1921 and since then approximately 300 men have been given com- misions or made eligible for this group. Cadet officers appointed in the fall of the school year act as commanding officers and company platoon commanders in handling the four companies and the band. The cadet battalion is trained by these student officers and non-commissioned officers under the supervision of the military faculty. Five men compose the faculty of the military department. New here this year is Lieutenant-Colonel Robert J. Halpin who came to Creighton as commandant from the Lt. Col. Robert J. Halpin Commandant Company A 158 command of the Fifth U.S. Infantry, Fort McKinley, Maine. Colonel Halpin has an impressive record which shows that he has been in the Army since August, 1917. He received his appoint- ment as Lieutenant-Colonel in April, 1919, and served on the General Staff, U.S. Army, from July, 1927, to April, 1931. Colonel Halpin has been decorated with the Purple Heart and the Silver Star citation. Other military faculty members are: Major Willis D. Cronkhite, infantry; Major Lawrence L. W. Meinzen, in- fantry; Sergeant Lawrence J. Dempsey and Sergeant Curtis D. Kier, both of the United States Army. Cadet officers appointed by the Com- mandant who served during the year were: Battalion Staff: Clement Pedersen, lieutenant-colonel; Grant Lemmon, major; William Parker, captain-adjutant; Robert Kaiser, captain; Frank Wilson, captain, and John Leahy, captain. Company A: Andrew McGrath, captain; William Halpin, first-lieutenant; Robert Bartel and Thomas Riley, second-lieutenants.

Military offices are maintained on the second floor of the f ymnasium where all administrative and classroom work is conducted for the 375 men who are in the Crei jhton R. (). T. C. unit. Kvery Tuesday, when weather conditions were favorable, military instruction period of two hours duration were held on the athletic field. I ' ractice was conducted on minor tactics, close and extended order drill, pack-makin , ' and tent pitching. Every student enrolled was required to take three hours basic instruction. For those in advanced courses, five hours class room work was recjuired. . variety of subjects including rifle marksmanship, 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 are taught each year. The university rifle team which is organized and directed by the military depart- ment competed in 12 matches with midwestern schools. A squad of 15 men was carried through the entire year and competed in matches with University of South Dakota, Iowa State college. Fort Crook, University of Missouri and the Blue Bell Rifle Club. Creighton riflers also fired in the William Randolph Hearst Trophy matches, took part in the X.R.. . National Gallery Team tournament at Manhattan, Kansas, and the M. |()k LAWKhM h W. Mkixzen Infantry Company C 160 Indoor Camp Perry matches sponsored by the Kemper MiHtary School, Boone- ville, Missouri. Facilities are also avail- able for all girl students who are inter- ested in rifle shooting. Inspection of the Creighton R.O.T.C. unit was conducted on May 2, and 3 this year by Colonel Raymond W. Briggs, Field Artilery, U.S. Army, who is in charge of R.O.T.C. activities for the Seventh Corps Area which embraces eight states, and Major William C. Louisell, 17th Infantry, Fort Crook. The inspection was divided into two sections: Colonel Briggs examined the administra- tive section and Major Louisell, the training or tactical section. This inspection results in the unit being rated as excellent, good, or poor. If rated excellent, the cadets are author- ized to wear a blue star on their uniforms. This year is the seventh consecutive year that Creighton has maintained the Blue star rating. Examining officers inspect the cadets in each of the subjects 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 conducted on the field. Outstanding cadet officers, first and second basics, and the best units are given recognition each year at the annual Prize Day held during the month of May. This year ' s Prize Day was held on May 16, at which time awards were given for the follow- ing: The Chamber of Commerce Guidon to the best company, based on drill, attend- ance, and all around excellence; The Reserve Officers Association Saber to the best Major Willis D. Cronkhite Infantry Company D 161 Rosemary O ' Neh. Phyllis Green Charlotte Anderson cadet officer; the Lieutenant- Colonel Sweeney Trophy to the cadet captain of the best company; a similar trophy awarded by Colonel Sweeney to the best first advanced cadet; The Rotary Club Medal to the best second basic cadet; The Buck Private Medal to the best first basic cadet; American Legion Medals to the three best leaders in musketry; The Commandant ' s Musketry Medals to the three best students of the second basic class in musketry; the Creighton University Ath- letic Department Medals to the five highest on the rifle team; The American Legion Medals to each of the three musketry teams judged best in the courses in musketry; The Commandant ' s Musketry Medals to each of the three second basic students demonstrating the highest degree of teamwork and the greatest proficiency in musketry, and the White and Blue Honor Corps Ribbons to cadets for loyalty to the cadet corps above and beyond the call of duty. In order to round out the first advanced student ' s courses before he is commissioned, a special six-week course of intensive instruction is conducted at Fort Crook, Nebraska, each summer. Here they camp with R.O.T.C. members from the Universities of Iowa, Ne- braska and South Dakota. Competition is held in all the various events and courses conducted at the camp. First Year Advanced 162 Rita Dobel RrxH Matcha Outstanding social activity of the military department during the school year was the annual Military Ball. Gertrude Martin was announced as the new Honorary-Colonel at the banquet preceding the ball. Miss Martin, a freshman in the school of law, succeeded Rosemary Gaughan. Fifty-three men composed the Creighton University R.O.T.C. band which was again directed this year by Don Libby. The band took part in all military functions as well as participating in school pep activities and rallies. The band accompanied the football team to Des Moines last fall and played and marched between halves of the Creighton-Drake football game. At least two years of band or military work is required of each male student for graduation. The 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 participating in the actual drill and field maneuvers. Five coeds were named as sponsors of the four companies and the band for the year. Charlotte Anderson, journalism senior, sponsored company A; Ruth Matcha, commerce sophomore, represented company B; Rita Dobel, university college sophomore, com- pany C; Rosemary O ' Xeil, commerce freshman, company D, and Phyllis Green, jour- nalism junior, the band. The opportunity to enter the regular Army with a second-lieutenant ' s commission and pay without taking any additional training other than that given by the R.O.T.C. in the university is made available to advanced students in accordance with a measure passed by the Congress of the United States. The law provides that each school having a Reserve Officers Training unit will be allowed to submit its best students for further training. Second Year Advanced 163 Jv. U. (S. C Jjam With the two-fold purpose of participating as a military unit and of servin i; as an essential unit in cam- pus pep life, the Creighton University R. (). T. C. band played a big part in campus activities during the past year. Under the direction of Don Libby, who served his second year as band director, the 53 men who composed the hand were active throughout the entire year. Marching displays and maneuvers were given by the band between halves of the home football games. With the band furnishing music, Hluejay rooters were kept keyed to a high pitch during all football and basketball games. Through the efforts of the Students Union and the athletic department, the band accompanied the Bluejay football squad and cheering section on the special train which carried the Creighton contingent to Des Moines last fall for the Creighton-Drake football game. -Appearance of the band at all pep rallies before football games made the rallies much more successful. The outstanding rally of the year, held at the Orpheum theatre the night before the St. Benedict ' s game, featured the band in a number of selections. The entire band was on the stage during the rally and made a fine impression on the audience with its colorful blue and white uniforms. Band members are given credit with those taking actual drill and field maneuvers. The R.O.T.C. band also marched in the Homecoming parade and took part in the commencement exercises. UoNAi.D E.

New this year was the participation of the stu- dent body in various stunts, enter- tainments, and programs. Again Pep Marshal Sam Wein- stein conducted the entire pep pro- gram with the help of Head Cheer- leader Robert Walker, and Olive Odorisio. Made up of representa- tives from each school, the Pep Council aided in organizing each school as a separate unit on the pep program. Before the opening football game of the season, a downtown parade and broadcast featured 15 bands from Omaha, and surrounding territories. At the stadium. South Dakota was greeted by an impressive flag raising ceremony lighted by bomb flares. The White Spot was the feature of the novel card-stunt put on by the student body at the half. All lights were extinguished. A spotlight was thrown on the students who held silver and blue cards. The silver cards formed a huge white outline of the state of Nebraska. Superimposed on the White Spot was a large blue letter C. Another outstanding game stunt was the presentation by Mayor Dan Butler of a floral horseshoe and twin doll buggies to Marchie Schwartz just after the birth of his Sam Weinstein Pep Marshdl A Section of the Homecoming Parade 166 twins. The enthusiastic pep rally at the Homecoming Hop the night before the Creighton-West Virginia game was put in the shade by the Homecoming Parade the day of the game. Of the 75 cars, six bands and 15 floats, the school of den- tistry took first float prize. The school of pharmacy and law placed second and third, while Kappa Zeta Kappa sorority won the award for the most cars in the parade. This was the first Homecoming Parade to be broadcast by a local sta- tion. At all games, card stunts and exhibi- tions by out-state bands and drum corps made this year ' s pep season the most colorful of Creighton ' s history. Before-game rallies at noon and at school dances met a wave of success. One of the most outstanding rallies was conducted from the stage of theOrpheum theater by Horace Heidt and his band. Ed Currier, Richard Rucki and Ruth Matcha entertained the students, and Marchie Schwartz introduced the team. The second annual Orpheum stage show rally was put on by 60 members of the student body. Besides the Creighton band and the cheerleaders, a swing orchestra, the Bluejay Quartet, Ed Currier ' s illuminated baton twirling, and tap dancing by Ruth and Don Bruhn, Marchie Schwartz and the entire football team added zip to the rally. Onlookers called this the best rally in Creighton ' s history. An outstanding event on the pep activities calendar this year was the student excur- sion to Des IMoines for the annual gridiron clash between the Creighton Bluejays and RoBKKT Al.KKK Head Cheerleader later Walker Presents New Homecoming Queen 167 ■.M.

A countless number of students travelled by auto to arrive in time for the game and they all formed a cheering section which accompanied each thrust of the Bluejay team on the field with enthusiastic and night-splitting yells, lead by Pep Marshal Sam Weinstein and his crew of pep inducers. The band, whose trip was made possible through the efforts of the athletic department and the Students Union, gave an im- pressive between-halves display of marching maneuvers, and through the game kept the spirit of the Bluejay section keyed to a high pitch with its music. A variety of entertainment was offered Creighton students and Bluejay followers who attended each of the home basketball games, by the Pep Council. A number of stunts were offered between halves of each of the games and served to entertain the audience as w ell as remove the tension which results from a hard-fought first half between Creighton and its ten home opponents.

Organi- zations active in promoting campus music interests included: the male chorus, the university orchestra, the so- dality choir, the Creighton R. O. T. C. band, and the St. Joseph ' s hospital Nurses ' Glee club. The University Male Chorus, di- rected by Winifred Traynor Flanagan, consisted of 22 members. Working dur- ing the first part of the school year along both sectional and ensemble lines, the group devoted the latter portion to ensemble only. Mrs. Flanagan suc- ceeded Fred G. Ellis as director of the chorus at the first of the year and immediately announced tryouts for the songsters. Rehearsals were conducted once each week by the director. Mrs. Flanagan, a prominent voice teacher in Omaha, has been organist and choir director at St. Cecilia ' s Cathederal for several years. Ralph X. Lundell was ac- companist for the chorus. In addition to singing on the Musical Hour of the University of the Air, the Male Chorus participated in concert-dances with other music groups at the College of St. Mary, Duchesne college and St. Joseph ' s Hospital Nursing school. The singers also appeared with a dramatic group, directed by the Rev. Joseph Herbers, S.

Donald Libby, arts senior, again conducted the university orchestra, composed of 48 instrumentalists, as well as the official university R.O.T.C. band. Both of these musical organiza- tions played a large part in campus musical festivities, appearing on t he Musical Hour and participating in the Spring Concert. Both played at con- cert-dances at Duchesne and St. Joseph ' s. The band did not attend the St. Mar ' ' s function, at which only the Male Chorus and orchestra appeared. Orchestra practices were directed each Wednesday evening by Libby. The R. O.T.C. practiced each Tuesday after- noon and played at parades of the reg- ular cadet unit, besides playing at football and basketball games. A third prominent campus musical organization was the Sodality choir, under the personal direction of Father Brey. Thirty-four choir mem- bers sang at the regular student masses on Friday mornings in St. John ' s university church. The choir also sang over the University of the Air and sang High Mass at St. Benedict ' s church, May 7. John D. Hartigan, student organist, accompanied the choir on all its appearances. Largest single unit of the Creighton musical groups was the St. Joseph ' s Hospital Glee club. Mrs. George ' odicka directed the 60-piece ensemble of student singers. The Glee club sang on the Musical Hour during the Christmas holidays, the club sang JoHX D. Hartigan Student Organist The Male Chorus 171 Christmas carols in the hospital cor- ridors. A new step taken by Creighton in music activities was the combined con- cert-dances at the College of St. Mary, Duchesne college and St. Joseph ' s hos- pital. Following appearances of mu- sicians and singers of each school, the participants combined in social affairs. The Male Chorus, Sodality choir, band and orchestra attended the concert- dances at Duchesne and St, Joseph ' s but only the orchestra and chorus took part in the St. Mary ' s function. The Duchesne and St. Mary ' s concerts were the first in which Creighton appeared together with musical groups of these schools. An important part of the Creighton music program was the Musical Hour on the University of the Air, conducted each Monday afternoon from Decem- ber 5 to May 15, inclusive. All Hilltop music talent was heard, as were the St. Joseph ' s and St. Catherine ' s hospital representatives. cast of 174 persons took part in the second annual spring concert conducted by Father Brey and held in the school auditorium March 19 and 20. Mrs. Floyd Walsh, guest artist, accompanied August Palmesano and Warren Schrempp in The Legend Beautiful by Longfellow. Unseen, but heard by the audience, Schrempp read the piece and Palmesano dramatized the actions of the monk. Chief production manager was Father Brey. Robert Burke was stage manager, Robert Miller, wardrobe manager and Robert Oberlander, properties manager. Tom in( ent Male Chorus President The Orchestra 172 J ociet Eugene F.

His Highness, King Fitzgerald, a senior in the law school, marched through students massed on each side of the main ballroom to receive his crown from Chancellor Fred Jardon in a ceremony nearly two decades old. Queen Mary, of the pharmacy college, nearly fainted when told of her election. Results of balloting by the Students Union board of governors had been kept secret until a few minutes before the grand march. Princes banked the throne on each side and only after thirteen of them had taken their places was the king ' s identity re- vealed. At a banquet preceeding the dance. Union Board keys were distributed to junior members of the board of governors: Ber- nard Sullivan, Louis Westendorf, Willis Lee, Joseph Troia, Leo Williams, Gerard W ' olke, and Xorvin Jones. The Very Rev. Joseph P. Zuercher, S.J., president of the university, gave a short talk. Principal speaker was the Rev. C. K. Hayden, S.J., dean of men; introductions were made by Fred Jardon, president of the board of governors and banquet toastmaster. Stellar attraction at the dance was Joe Sanders, the Ole Left Hander and his famed Nighthawks. The Nighthawks came to the Prom from the Hotel New Yorker in New York City. The band featured Jane Kay, popular radio singer. Gowns for the fourteen princesses were de- signed in New York City and were secured exclusively for the Prom by Miss Merle McKinley, buyer fo r an Omaha depart- ment store. The gowns were purchased to harmonize with the elaborate settings de- signed for the dance and ranged in color from a cornflower blue to a deep Bagdad blue. Princesses entered singley at a trumpet fanfare and marched to the main setting in the order of the schools they represented. They were followed from one end of the hall to the other by brilliant spotlights. Princesses included: Mary Agnes Tully and Donnabelle Fletcher, the college of arts and sciences; Sarah Curtiss and Dorothy Kalamaja, the school of medicine; Matilda Amacher and Betty Stover, the school of law; Betty Jane Van Ackeren and Genevieve Albers, the school of dentistry; Betty Olde- rog, the colloge of pharmacy; Mary Ann Pound and Eleanor Kennedy, the college of commerce, and Charlotte Anderson and Rosemary Gaughan, the school of journal- ism. Before the entrance of the king, the thir- teen princes entered in pairs and ranged themselves on either side of the steps as- cending to the throne. Here they waited until the princesses approached, and each prince escorted his partner to their correct position on the main setting. Princes were: Robert Lennahan and William Ziesel, the college of arts and sciences; Sam Mangi- melli and Leslie Brethour. the school of medicine; Richard McGuire, the school of law; Joseph Ryan and Harry Pump, the school of dentistry; Leonard Schenk and Francis Lantz, the college of pharmacy; Herman Weber and John Piet, the college of corrmerce, and Vincent Thillen and Ed- ward Lusienski, the school of journalism. Settings for the dance, pronounced by guests as the most beautiful and elaborate in the history of Creighton social life, were designed and executed by William J. Par- ker, freshman law student. Covering both ends of the ballroom, the settings were de- signed to lend dignity, color and a royal atmosphere to the coronation ceremony. Indirect lighting created a soft, warm effect that brought out the beauty of princesses ' gowns. The dance was under the general direc- tion of Joseph P. Murphy, student union manager. Rudy Mayr, dental senior, acted as student chairman. Mary P. Workman Queen Creighton XVII B % l H 1 1 i 1 H ' H Ik r 1 Eleanor W Kennedy Sarah K. Curtiss Mary Anne Pound Charlotte E.

Many of these problems which are not too complicated technically and mechanically can be solved by the editor himself, but some need the exami- nation and opinion of more experienced men whose business aft ' iliations cjualify them as experts. The correct solution of these problems made easier the pro- duction of The 193Q Blucjay which portrays student life and campus activity throughout the year with the student ' s part more actively injected in the presentation. If you have gained this impression after reading The 1939 Bluejay and if you are of the opinion that it has fulfilled its purpose, we hope you will give credit and thanks to the following: Mr. Cy Swatek for th e cover design as produced by the Kingsport Press. Mr. Gordon Bennett, commercial artist, whose fine opening section draw- ings depicting the phases of school activity were preceded by many hours of study, research and experimentation. Mr. E. J. Cochrane and the craftsmen of the National Printing company who gave valuable assistance during the printing of the publication. Mr. and Mrs. H. Matsuo of the Matsuo Studio whose experience in year- book work was a great help to the editor, as were their fine portraits which were used throughout the annual. Nat Dewell. commercial photographer, for his fine pictures. Mr. C. X. Xolan of the Baker Engraving company for the excellent half- tones and color plates. Stanley Rychly, student photographer, for the candid pictures used in the fraternity section, on the subdivision pages and the snapshot section. Mr. Harry Walsh for the cartoons used in the snapshot section. The deans of the affiliated schools and all students who cooperated and gave their assistance willingly whenever asked by the members of the staff. Mr. Joseph P. Murphy, faculty adviser, who gave unselfishly of his time and experience to help the staff during the assembling of the annual. The Editor.
