Text from Pages 1 - 216 of the 1952 volume:

The Nineteen Fifty-two uie a This is Michelangelo Buonarotti, a man who knew his business — the very difficult business of carving images in stone. Yet, despite his dexterity with mallet and chisel, this remarkable man would not be limited even by his profession, by the thing in which he excelled. Instead, he designed buildings; he painted pictures; he wrote sonnets. We cannot say that Michelangelo ' s work suffered because of this breadth of outlook, for he knew sculpture as few men have: others with hands as steady and eyes as keen have tried and have failed to equal him. Indeed, it well may be that his greatness, in large measure, lies in this, that sculpture was the most important thing in his life, but that it was not all his life. For we can attribute to neither dexterity nor concentration Michelangelo s ability to see and to portray that intangible something beyond the external form of the inspired Moses, or the bones which lay beneath it. :: ' ' ' l !i WJ ; % it ..I % ..• ¥k ■ 10 % r :■: Go4tte4tti Administration Seniors Organizations actviities Spiritual Life Athletics Society 10 32 74 120 158 170 188 StaU Editor Associate Editors Technical Advisor Faculty Moderator Administration Organizations Activities Spiritual Life Athletics Society Artist Business Manager Circulation Manager Picture Editors Jeremiah D.

It is ciihure which appeals to the higher facul- ties of man, to his reason, to his soul. As a product of the spirit, culture finds its expression in the truth and beauty inherent in the humanities and fine arts. Whether this truth and beauty is embodied in sculpture, painting, or literature it is no more than the expression of the human spirit or consciousness as released from the trammels of the body. No man can belie the fact of the twentieth century that the health and strength of the spirit is being threatened by sinews of raw steel, by the appeal of the bigger and better commuting worldly com- fort for real happiness. Materialism is the word condemned by many but praised by more. This materialism belches as a consuming flame upon that truth and happiness found in the divinely appointed order. It destroys the spirit, it destroys culture, and it eventually turns to ashes the edifices of freedom and liberty. The happiness of time and of eternity sought by all is found in the path of truth. The acquisition of happiness demands the dom- inance of reason, with the employment of the things of this world as no more than means to that greater goal in eternity. The Creighton University recognizes the correct relation of the spirit to the body. It educates its students correspondingly, preparing them for both this life and the next. The spirit of Creighton is not found in the architecture of its buildings, nor in the sculpture of quizzical brows. It is rather that intangible force which says, Here is truth. Here is the meaning of life! Because the spirit of Creighton is founded on the strength of truth the theme of this book is had in that haven of the spirit and truth — culture — only through its pursuance will eternal rest be secured for each man with his Creator. It is an honor and a privilege to be included in this Creighton Memory Book of 1952. Proud of this university and her students, it is our hope and prayer that the dreams and aspirations of the pres- ent will be fulfilled as you treasure the pictures of your classmates, indelibly engraved on your hearts for all the years to come. God keep you ever young. G. T. Bergan Archbishop of Omaha Dedicated to Dr. Floyd E. Walsh in appre- ciation of his 26 years of continuous service as instructor and Dean of the College of Commerce. To you, Creighton Graduate of 1952, I speak these few parting words as you prepare to leave the halls of your Alma Mater. May the truths you have heard here light your way as you travel the road ahead. May the taste of learning you have found here whet your appetite for deeper wisdom in the years to come. May the ideals held before you here be the goal you seek and find hereafter. May you grow in the knowledge of your Maker, love Him above all else, and so live that those charged in days gone by with the responsibility of being your teachers may not have taught in vain, but be proud on the final Commencement Day to call you an alumnus, a student, and a friend! God bless and keep you. (7. .. .. Jf 12 AUufu ActiiUtiel In administration he is formally known as the executive assistant to the president, but this title in no way con- notes the extent of the sei-vices of the Rev. Henry W. Ijnn, SJ., to the univer- sity. As director of public relations with correspondent duties incurred as moder- ator of alumni activities Father Linn ex- tends the benefits of his efforts for the betterment of Creighton throughout the country. To speak of the activities of Father Linn as being on a national scale is not to speak figuratively. During the past five and one-half years as director of the university ' s development program co-or- dinated with his other duties the travel- ing priest has seen more than 270,000 miles of American road in reviewing the story and needs of Creighton to its alum- ni and friends. In public relations Father Linn is primarily concerned with the spread of the voice of Creighton throughout the Omaha metropolitan area. This requires the or- ganizing and promotion of a publicity program broadcasting to Creighton ' s neighbors the cultural, social, and commercial benefits to be derived by the individual and the municipality from the existence of the university. The story that Father Linn has to tell on his journeys for the development program is told with such frankness and sincerity as emanates from harsh economic facts. The personal warmth of one man cannot alter the real need expressed by the university in its sponsoring of the development fund. Now in its sixth year this fund as of January 1952 had received pledges totalling $1,376,808.76. Of this amount $764,170.97 had been received in actual contributions. The answer to the question of why administrative, alunmi, development and pub- lic relations duties and responsibilities are united in one office is found in the blending of the work of Father Limi. The advantage of this fusion is seen through the spiritual and material sustenance granted Creighton as a result of his efforts. 13 Fr. Henry W. Linn Executive Assistant to the President Rev.

Sullivan, S.J. lioando n444ieel To the graduate the immediate significance of the Board of Trustees stems from its power to confer degrees to worthy candidates. The final determination of who is to receive scrolls, however, is just one of the func- tions of the board. It is also distinguished as a legal body having domain over questions of legal jurisdiction affecting the university. It is this group of men, furthermore, who decide upon the school ' s educational and financial policies. In finance the board not only concerns itself with the annual budget but also looks forward to the future improvement and development of the university. 14 We ' ve all heard it — truth is the best combatant of falsehood, as good is of evil. These thoughts are expressed so often as to be common-place, but this in no way destroys their validity or significance. We also know that the present malign champion of immorality under the standard of materialism feeds upon and effuses spiritual decay and material poverty. To combat, counteract, and win the battle against this force the world must espouse and propagate spiritual health and the necessities of material welfare. . When we recognize the truth of these considerations the sustenance and develop- ment of the Creighton university becomes ever more imperative to each one of us. This is so because Creighton stands for and upholds those very principles which immorality seeks to pull down to its own degraded position of despair and lamentation. Creighton looks first to ultimate ends, then to the things of this world as means to that ultimate end. But the university realizes that this life must first be dealt with and lived well before an eternal reward can be granted. Thus Creighton prepares its students for the duties of a practical life in the world, but with a goal set in eternity. The education of Creighton nurtures the health of both the soul and the body. It prepares the student for earning his way in the world to the benefit of himself and mankind. Its courses in science especially attend to the needs of the body. But whether the education is found in liberal arts, law, or medicine its forces fuse to combat error and evil, and to alleviate the distresses of body and soul by promoting bodily health and spiritual prosperity. The students, past, present, and future of Creighton should acknowledge the vital concern each of them has in the preservation and development of the university. Prevalent economic conditions have created a turbulent path for private institutions. If possible we should remember the university through material sustenance, but always we should add spiritual support through publicizing the benefits of Creighton through our actions. We should acknowledge the friendship that Creighton has extended to each of us. and in acknowledgment support the university in hopes for a better world in which to live. 15 W. B. Mii.i.Mti). Ju.

John J. Foley, S.J., who came lo Creighton from the Mar(juette I niversity High School where he had served as prijicipal since V) . Father Foley is a 1924 grad- uate of Creighton. The academic year gone h) saw the consolidation of the former University College with Creighton College. This consolidation brought to a close the existence of an institution which had been organ- ized in 1931 as an outgrowth of a series of teach- er ' s courses. Chances of continued high enrollment at Creigh- ton ( ollege were encouraged when as early as Feb- ruary 9, placement exams were given to one hun- dred forty-seven applicants. In hopes of aiding prospective students who may need financial assist- ance the I ' niversity has instituted a plan for par- tial scholarships to be given to those placing high in the placement exams and having a satisfactory high school record. The Credo of The Creighton University is based on the teachings of Christ. So also must the heart of the University find its credo in the truth of the Creator. Strength and vitality in education do not lie in the readily effaceable veneer of pretention and os- tentation. Education ' s strength and vitality do lie in the teaching and development of a sound way of life. As in 1878, so in 1952 the Creighton College of Arts and Sciences promulgates the principles of correct living. Today as then these principles eman- ate from a virtuous subservience to the omnipotence of Truth. With its foundation in eternal principles the col- lege has become since 1878 the nucleus of a uni- versity. It functions today not only as an institu- tion for liberal education, but in addition trains its students for specialized fields and prepares them for professional schools. The Rev. William F. Kelley, S.J., is the Dean of Creighton College. Father Kelley assumed his po- sition on Commencement Day of 1951 after having served as Assistant Dean during the preceding school year. Fr. John J. Foley, S.J., A.M., assistant dean of Creighton College 18 The freshman ' s first conception of the univer- sity professor presents a curious mixture of awe tinted by an aura of servile respect. This notion is inspired hy the conviction that the professor is an embodiment of learning and a task-master of greater proportions than any heretofore en- countered. Before the day of graduation the initiate ' s conception has undergone a healthv transforma- tion. This transformation is to an attitude of genuine respect engendered by the thought of the wisdom couched in the professor ' s scholar- ship, and b the object discovered in the tasks of learning. To a greater degree, however, this respect is based upon that broad humanity evinced by the men and women of all the faculties. The end of this humanity is the promotion of an amity between students and professor which supersedes the scholastic barriers of forbearance and insti- tues a genuine respect and friendship. The students take this occasion not only to formally express their gratitude to the faculties for their services in education, but also to give voice to that esteem fostered bv the friendliness and humanit) displayed by each faculty member. 19 QalleCfe o Qam.m eA ie. Floyd E. Walsh, Ph.D., dean of college of commerce In the wake of tlio Groat War Croighlon instituted a series of evening courses in l us- iness atlininistration. Tliis was in 1 )2(). 1) 192 ' 1 a full-fle(lg(Ml (lay school had been formed. In the fall of 1926 Dr. Klovd E. Walsh came to Creighton as Dean of the College of Cominerce. Finance and journal- ism. Since 1926 the tri-partite organization of the college has ended but the enrollment has swelled to a peak of 711 students in the post-war year 1917- 1914). and it now stands at above the 300 mark. Today as during the past 26 years the administration of the Col- lege of Commerce is synonymous with Dean Walsh. As alwaNs the approach lo education is one of Training for a living and for making a living. Dr. Walsh came to Creighton from the I niversity of Iowa where he had earned his bachelor of science in commerce degree in 1919 and achieved a masters in 1920. By spending summer vacations on a postman ' s holiday he was awarded a Ph.D. from Iowa in 1932. In recognition of 25 years of service the Creighton university awarded Faculty of the college of commerce 20 Dean Walsh a plaque on the Founders Da) ban- quet last Dec. 4. By I9 ' .y. it was seen fit to organize a sep- arate school of journalism. With this break in afliiialions the commerce school now devot- ed full allcnlioii to courses preparing the stu- dent for l)usiness fields. The success attended the commerce school in carrying out its program is indicated by a provisional associate membership in the American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business. This position has been merited by providing students with a sound background f  r a life in the commercial world. In securing this background the student first devotes two years to fundamental studies before concentrating during his junior and senior years on such majors as accounting, economics and management. Integrated with the classroom work are laboratory exccrises and lectures by prominent businessmen. The past year saw the reactivation of evening courses in business administration. After 22 years of existence these courses had been dropped in 1942 due to the urgencies of another war. High quality education is once more the aim of the evening school. With an educational ideal promoting a train- ing for life as well as for earning a living the College of Commerce fills a vital spot in the world ' s educational pattern. It prepares its stu- dents not only for business but also for the business of living. 21 Frederick G. Gillick, B.S.. M.D., (lean of the seliool of medicine Since October 1, 1892, the Creighton Liiiversity School of Medicine has expanded side by side with one of the nation ' s fastest growing metropolises, Omaha, Nebraska. The profession of medicine of- fers the greatest of all fields for human service, for Scltoal o Me(IUci4de. pniiiiuliiig the gciictal welfare of mankind. So won lerfiil are the mirac les of iiKKlern science, that aside from its broad liiiiiianilariati aliie. it oilers one of the most eiilliralling pursuits among all the sciences. The general aim and purpose  )f this school has been the eMlucation and cITicicnt training  f compe- tent praclilioners of medicine in accordance with the principles and ideals of the profession and of the I iiiversit). The fulfillment of this intention has been obvious, for every year since before the turn of the century Creighton has developed doctors who have been inculcated with sound moral, ethical, and religious principles, as well as the full development of the necessary faculties in the procurement of medical knowledge. Nearly four thousand Creigh- ton graduates have served and are serving in all parts of the Unite d States and the far corners of the globe. The progress made by each individual student is tremendous. Each of Creighton ' s future doctors must have a scientific mind, a retentive memory, calm nerves, great physical endurance, human un- derstanding, quick discernment and judgment, and an eagerness to relieve suffering and save life. Faculty of the school of medicine 22 The original medical building was temporarily quartered in St. Joseph ' s Hospital. Then, in 1896, the present building was erected at the corner of fourteenth and Davenport Streets; and in 1910, the north building was constructed. In these buildings are contained the lecture rooms, student laborator- ies, offices, recently remodeled research laboratories, lounges, and a library. The library has a select collection of cumulative reference works, special treatises in medicine, and a compilation of medical science periodicals, which are available for the use of students and faculty. When medical science in- creases its vast knowledge in the branhes of med- icine and surgery, the Creighton University always strives to guide the students with precise informa- tion. The Dispensary, which is arranged and equipped for the diagnosis and care of ambulatory patients, provides invaluable training for the students. Dur- ing the past year more than one-tenth of Omaha ' s vast population of almost 300,000 people made vis- its to the Dispensary; and in addition. 2.450 home calls were made to the confined patients. The clin- ical facilities also include the Creighton Memorial St. Joseph ' s Hospital, and St. Catherine ' s Hospital. Additional teaching and clinical facilities for the faculty and students are afforded by the Booth Me- morial Hospital. Mercy Hospital, St. Bernard ' s Hos- pital. St. Elizabeth ' s Hospital, and St. James ' Or- phanage. Creightons immediate facilities j)rovide almost 2500 beds and 2 ' M bassinets. Thomas U. Fitzgerald, D.S., M.S.P.H., assistant dean of the school of medicine A doctor is often nearly thirty years of age before he is fully equipped for regular practice, but, nevertheless, this long preparation is justified by the responsibility that a doctor assumes. Faculty of the school of medicine 23 James H. Pfiu« ' . D.D.S., ch-an of llir scluxil of dciiii-ti v The pangs of aching teelh have been one of the universal alTlictions of mankind down through the ages. Modern dentifrices have yet to win tlie bat- tle against this adversity which knows no class, so the need for dentists remains. Under the adminis- tration of Dr. James A. Pence, dean, the Creighton university school of dentistry meets this need by continuing to educate skilled practitioners well able EcUooi o jbe4 ii6in4f. to relic « ' the distresses of mankind while demon- strating tlic excellence of their college training. The graduates this year leave a fully approv ' d dental school which operates a dental clinic where 4,000 cases are treated annually, and a .school which maintains a modern research laboratory where stu- dents receive training both in surgery and in the treatment of mouth diseases. In collaboration with the research laboratory the school has a cancer det ' ction project in progress. Absent from this year ' s social calendar was the molar mixer usually the feature event on the agen- da, but the mixer ' s absence should intensify the significance of its reappearance next year. In the early fall the dental wives sponsored a style show at the Rrandeis auditorium, and on St. Valentine ' s day the uives held a darxe at the Castle hotel. Realizing the urgencies of the war situation many of this year ' s graduates have enlisted in the armed services to serve an int ernship in one of the nation ' s government hospitals. Many more, however, will enter private practice to meet the critical need for dentists that exists througlioiil the world. ft Ji - , Faculty of tlie ?cliool of denti-lry 24 William . Jamil.

An amhitious program of {)ing-pong. horse-shoe, and card tournaments provided recreation for Charlie during the second semester. Pharmacy day, however, takes all honors for extra-curricular activity. Held on May 7 the day ' s activities included a parade in the morning and a picnic at Miller park, climaxed hy a hanquet and dance held in the evening. The hanquet was featured hy presentations to outstanding stu- dents for their pharmaceutical and scholastic achievements. Faculty of the college of pharmacy 26 ScUooi 4A OiA ' Through the years, the Creighton School of Law has established a well-deserved reputation for the quality of the men who have emerged from the ranks of its classes. More than a little, however, this reputation has depended upon the fact that Creighton has endeavored to produce good lawyers, not merely in the technical and legal sense of the world, hut in accordance with its ethical significance as well. A development typical of this position, and illustrative, too, of a close affinity between school and community, may be found in the events of the past year at Creighton ' s law school. For here perhaps the cardinal event was the establishment of the Omaha I egal Aid Clinic, a co-operative project of the School itself, the Omaha Bar Association, and the Barrister ' s Club, which, working closely with the various social agencies, is designed to furnish legal help to those who might not otherwise be able to procure it. Opcjied in November, the Clinic not  iil recognizes the social responsibilities of the bar. but offers to senior law students a welcome opportunity for practical legal training. It is the goal of the School of Law to furnish both a moral con e|)l and a work- ing knowledge of the law. The events of the year harmonize well with this aim. and they represent a development in which the school, its dean, James A. Doyle, and all concerned may lake justifiable pride. James A. Doyle, Ph.B.. LL.B.. LL.M. dean of the school of law hariill of llif xliool of law 27 St. Catlte Ute ' i. Si i.r Mar K.-nIii. R.S.M.. K.N..

I iiselfish aid to inaiikiiurs sick has been the inspiring thought in the hospital ' s operation. It also has been the guide and ideal of the school of nursing. By agreement in January. 1929. the Creighlon university established its school of nursing in St. Catherines. This agreeincnl was patterned U|)on a similar plan completed with St. Josephs in 1928. By it both units of the school of nursing became integral parts of the university. Sister Mary Kc in. K.S.M., has been the director of St. Catherine ' s unit since 1934. Having graduated from St. Catherine ' s in 1922 she later attained her degrees of bachelor and masters of arts from Creighlon. In 1917 she was promoted to the academic rank of assistant professor of nursing. Meeting the need for relaxation and a break between studies the social agenda of this ear featured two fonnals. the winter formal given bv the seniors and the spring formal presented by the junior class. In addition the trainees had the oppor- tunity to attend such gatherings as parties offered by the doctors ' wives and the alumni, coffee forums, and sodalitv picnics. r til Faculty of .St. Catherines unit of nursing 28 Sister Mary Louis, O.S.F., R.N., M.S,. director of the St. Joseph ' s unit of nursing Since its foundation in 1897 as a project of the Poor Sisters of St. Francis Seraph of the Perpetual Adoration, the St. Joseph ' s unit of the school of nursing has come to its position of wide recog- nition and respect largely as a result of an abundance of sincere and devoted effort. The school has grown alongside the hospital itself; since 1928 it has functioned as an integrated part of the university as well. In an age when nursing is becoming increasingly a highly skilled science as well as an art. the basic three year course required for qualification as a registered nurse demands hea il of the time and energy of the student. Classes, practice, and study combine to offer a formidable schedule. St. Joseph ' s unit of the school of nursing is under the direction of Sister Mary Luois, O.S.F.. who also holds the aca- demic rank of assistant professor of nursing. Yet whether it be the traditional inter-class competition of Stunt Night, the monthly birthday parties, or the more solemn events of capping and graduation, there is another side to the students ' life as well; a side evidencing a spirit of co-operation and common participation which, all agree, is invaluable. Capable training amid wholesome surroundings constitutes the key to a distinguished record of service.

With its administration under the dire tion of the Rev. Henry W. Casper.

Council of the graduate school 30 ZducaiUm, Fr. Austin E. Miller, S.J., director of CIIR, night school, adult education As instituted in the Spring of 1951 the School of Adult Education recognizes the edu- cational needs of adults by providing for their cultural and scientific development. In the past academic year 18-20 courses were con- ducted under the direction of the Rev. Austin E. Miller, S.J., on a variety of subjects as business administration, English and sociology during each of three eight-week sessions. Classes are held once a week for a two hour period in the evening and are taught either by regular university instructors or by top-flight business and professional people from Omaha. Although the courses are intend- ed primarily for non-credit adult education, the program was expanded this year to include credited courses for those seeking a degree. The success of the school is indicated both by its enrollment and by the enthus- iasm of its students. More than oOU attended this years classes and displayed a spirited interest in learning. Cai)italism and industrialism ha e emphasized the proltlems of labor-management relations. The Institute of Industrial Relations is organized under the direction of Father Miller in an effort to educate both capital and labor to a successful solution to these problems. Founded in 1945 more than 2. ()()() have gone through its 14 sessions: The cur- riculum of the Institute is divided into fundamental and advanced courses designed to appeal to both management and capital in their attempts to ameliorate conditions existing bclNNccii llicm. In addition to the regular courses lecturers from the Institute visit labor and management groups throughout the year. From November 1 through February 1 the Institute extended Creighton ' s boun- daries to Sif)ux City. Iowa.

The first meeting found Bob Muldoon, C4, reporting that the Student Handbooks had gone to press and that information was being promulgated for the Student Directory. Bob mentioned that the handbooks would be smalled this year and the direc- tories, the Who ' s Who of Creighton, would be distributed by the end of October. The next business was the Board-sponsored Frosh Frolic and it was decided that it would be held at Peony Park on September 21. Jack Theisen, D3, was appointed to boost the Frolic and attend to the posters. The Board then ap- pointed Bob Muldoon to address the new Creigh- ton ians at the dance. October soon rolled around and with the turning of the leaves and the season so turned Robert Muldoon, Pharmacy the business of the Board. Several students representing a group of students confronted the Board with plans for a Pep Club. The plans were approved and authorized by the Board and the enthusiastic group went to work. With all this new business completed the Board dug into the work of class officer elec- tions. Tt was decided that primaries would be held on October 10 and final elections would Pages 76 — Michael Printy, Arts John Whaley, Commerce Frank Claffey, Arts James Merriman, Law be held on October 17. Campaigning plans were begun and introduced to Creighton students. It was then recalled by the Board that this was the twenty- fifth anniversary of the Creighton University Alumni Associa- tion, so plans were discussed for Homecoming floats, parade routes and the celebration of the Alumni. At the last meeting of the month the class officers were in office and the Board authorized the handling of the Commun- ity Chest drive of October 19 to be done by the class officers. It was also decided that the theme of the Homecoming activ- ities would be Homecoming and Alumni. John Whaley, C, 03, was named as chairman of the parade and Mike Printy, A, 04, was named vice-chairman. The Board also named Tom Foye as general chairman of Homecoming. With the advent of November and winter ' s first chills the busy Board was confronted with new and old business. Jack lolm Tlici oii. ] iMiti tr Roger Cahill, Pharmacy Hugh Jordan, Medicine Theisen was appointed in charge of a commit- tee for inviting outstanding sports figures of Creighton ' s Alumni for the Homecoming bas- ketball game. Robert Reilly of Creighton ' s public relations department appeared before the Board and stal- ed that he had a thousand prospective donors for Creighton ' s Red Cross blood drive. The Board set the deadline for blood donor slips for Novem- ber 2. Many pints were given by faculty mem- bers and students, but the amount didn ' t equal last year ' s record. A bit of pleasing news was heard by the Board when Bob Muldoon told them that the Student Directory was out. Coeds ' phone num- bers were at last revealed to Creighton students. The Board then discussed details concerning prizes and their values which would be given for the best Homecoming floats. From behind the closed door of the Board Room it was decided by the members that Jere- miah Murphy would be editor of the Blue] ay. Creighton ' s year book. Plans were then dis- cussed concerning organization of the year book. John Whaley then informed the Board that meg- aphones had been purchased for the newly or- ganized Pep Club and that twenty floats had been entered in the parade. He also revealed that he had obtained eight convertibles for the Homecoming queen candidates. December quickly rolled around and with the season of snow and Christmas came little bus- iness. It was reported that nineteen basketball greats of Creighton would be present for the Homecoming basketball game. It was also re- ported that the final number of float entries for the parade was thirty-four. The business re- mained slight during the month because every- one, including our Board members, were enjoy- ing the Homecoming celebration and activities. 78 n ' 1 hbi ft ,]JH m Hjj B M l t Hk. ' . I l l Albert Walsh, Law With the coming of Jaimary and a new year came new business. The far-sighted group chose graduation announcements which they put on sale the latter part of Jarmary. The members then set a deadline for graduation pictures for February 9. February and March concluded the main bus- iness of the Board. Permission was granted for a name band for the Junior-Senior prom. It was decided that Jan Garber would play at the prom. The next business concerned the Red Cross. The Board approved March 21 as the day for them to take up their annual Red Cross collection. The month of fools found the most courteous work of the venerable Board. They sponsored the last main event of their list of doings which was the Junior-Senior prom. King and Queen Creighton reign over the Hilltop, thanks to our Board of Governors.

However, much more is involved in the Council ' s function than merely serving as an intermediary. Planning and sponsoring activities keep the girls on their toes throughout the year. As early as September they threw a party — a Big Sister- Little Sister affair, which aimed to bring in- coming students well into the student circle. Hilarity dominated Stunt Night in October. For one evening the potential nurses were able to cast aside the fetters of school work and enter a totally carefree state. By a mixture of serious application and orig- inality of thought, the St. Joseph ' s girls dreamed up and drew up a float which took second prize in the Homecoming Parade contest. The peren- nial favorites, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and Santa Glaus, were the key figures that cap- tured the judges ' fancy. The approach of Valentine ' s Day heralded the major event of the year — the Queen of Hearts Ball on February 13. At ceremonies at Peony Park Nancy Gray, N, received the Queenship. A necklace bearing a gold heart, which was pre- sented to her, symbolized her position of royalty. March featured a style show in the Lady of Victory auditorium, and April brought another dance along with the usual showers. The girls who represent their classes in the Gouncil have proved faithful to their fellow students. 82 S■nDE T Coi ' MAL- Seated, first row: Poler, llhlik. Ernst, Romeo, Gallagher, Bellin jliierre.

The Student Council can present a long column of activities to attest to the fact. In commemoration of Columbus day, the nurses discovered an evening of fun when the senior class sponsored a mixer in October. For Hallowe ' en the juniors took over and were hostesses at a party observing the tradi- tionally eerie holiday. In November everyone pitched in to construct a float when the Home- coming parade required an entry. Two parties in December feted the students — one given by the Sisters and the others by the doctors ' wives at St. Catherine ' s. Eddie Haddad provided the music for the winter formal at the Carter Lake club, when the nurses left their tailored uniforms at home and donned frills and laces. After the capping of freshmen on Feb. 3, the first year class had its own social fling in the form of a mixer. Another dance in April, the spring formal, furthered the belief that the St. Catherine girls appreciate the pastime of dancing. The student nurses also participated in the Marian congress at Creighton in March. The Sodality choir appeared for a musical selec- tion, and Miss Anne Bray attended as a guest speaker. Despite the amount of studying required for their profession, the girls in the white caps do not neglect other activities. 83 C.U.P.A. Officers: John Tripeny, vicepresident ; Serafino Bertolini, president; Norbert Aldrich, treasurer; Benjamin Chock, secretary e. f. p. A. The Creighton University Pharmaceutical as- sociation, commonly known as CUPA, aims to promote scholastic and social interest of all stu- dents and promotes school loyalty and unity. The organization has 150 members which is the total of all the pharmacy students. The or- ganization ' s meetings are held semi-monthly in the assembly room. The meetings offer the offi- cers and members of CUPA an opportunity to practice parliamentary procedure and public speaking. In the social whirl, the pill-pushers sponsored a float in the Homecoming parade, numerous smokers, and other such entertainment for the members to enjoy. But the highlight of their social year came when they held their annual pharmacy day, which was May 7. Quizzes and contests were planned for students to enter and win points for their respective class. The con- tests, which were mostly athletic, were held at Miller park, and after a picnic lunch, class points were tallied. To round out the athletic day, a freshman vs. sophomore tug-of-war was waged. A semi-formal dinner dance concluded the day and an engraved cup was awarded to the out- standing class. This year ' s officers were: Serafino Bertolini, president; John Tripeny, vice-president; Norbert Aldrich, treasurer; and Benjamin Chock, secre- tary. The faculty moderators are all full time faculty members of the College of Pharmacy. 84 GoedeUL When the university college was abolished this fall and Creighton college opened its doors to women students for the first time, the girls did not forsake their previous unity entirely. The coeds from every school giving a degree banded together to form the Coed club. Herein all of the feminine interests of the university are concentrated, and from here these interests are revealed through monthly metings and ac- tivities. Under the presidency of Joan Buchman, the organization has lost no time in fulfilling its purpose. In October the coeds sponsored a mixer which made new friends and brought old ones together in the informal atmosphere of the Beanery. The Homecoming parade was a call to arms — and hard-working fingers — which resulted in an entry in the float contest. A giant-sized box of Kleenex was constructed to prepare for the Cyclone ' s blow in the basketball game that night. The club members took on their largest pro- ject in the form of a Parents ' Day Program on May 4. A tea in honor of the students ' mothers highlighted the event. Guest speakers at the business meetings pre- vent any monotony or dullness that such gather- ings might present. Topics of discussion have ranged from fashionable dress to army careers for women. As a service to the university, the coeds do- nated two lace tablecloths to the school for use at teas, meetings, or other Creighton functions. President Joan, Vice-President Mary Ann Brunner, Secretary-Treasurer Regina Murphy, and all the girls who participate are instrumental in giving the coeds firm, favorable status at Creighton. 85 student lia i Ad iaciatio-i The Creighton law school Student Bar asso- ciation, a member of the American Law School association, is an organization of the students, by the students and for the students. The associa- tion ' s executive committee is composed of the presidents of each of the three classes and a mem- ber-at-large elected by each class. From this number the six members elect a president, a secretary and a treasurer, who are in office for the school year. Various committees are then established to carry out the association ' s diversified activities. Under Student Bar association auspices several prominent local and national figures spoke to the law students. Senator Estes Kefauver addressed the entire Creighton student body through this channel. The pre-legal orientation committee proved most successful in supplying pros- pective legal students with information about the law school and in fulfilling its purpose of filling the gap between pre- law and law school. It was through the legal research committee that students did research on actual problems con- fronting out-state attorneys. Also initiated by the association, but now functioning separately from it, was a toastmaster ' s club, the John Carroll Speech club. As an added incentive for both present and future legal students, it was decided by the association to pro- vide an annual award for the senior who. 86 in the opinion of the faculty, has contributed most to the law school and to his fellow students over a three year period. The law school also has iis own newspaper, Assault and Flattery, sponsored by the association. The student bar association did not, however, neglect the social side of the ledger. Two smokers and parties during the school year proved to be the tonic that helped balance out a busy year. Law school talent provided first class entertain- ment. The climax of the year ' s activities was the annual association-sponsored law banquet, with the faculty and a speaker as guest of honor. It was followed the next day by the law day picnic at Elmwood par, which rung down the curtain on a most successful year for the Student Bar association. Executive Committee of the Student Bar Association Chamber of Commerce: Seated, left to right: D. Heese, vice-pres. : T. Foye, pres. ; J. Winters, sec ' y; J. Lechner, treas. Standing: J.

Creighton ' s Chamber of Commerce is a local organization which has been in existence at Creighton for 24 years. The organization boasts 21 members this year. The members hold their meetings quarterly in the Beaux Arts room of the administration building. The membership for the Chamber, is to be in the School of Com- merce and possessing the qualities of scholarship and service to the school and Creighton. In the social whirl they entered a float in the homecoming parade and sponsored a dinner dance which gave fitting fanfare to the annual skip day, being held the preceding evening. Every school of Creighton has a skip day of some sort each year and the College of Com- merce is no exception. During the skip day activities the corridors of the Commerce building are completely empty, the steps are deserted of last minute before the bell students and class- rooms and chairs of the neatly cleaned building are unoccupied. Yes, everyone, including the pro- fessors of the world of business, have skipped. All is quiet in the building and it enjoys a day of rest from the usual hurried foots teps to class, the loud voices before the bell, the lectures of professors and even the chalk dust. Even with all the sudden silence the annual skip was not a spur-of-the-moment idea. It is sponsored and supervised by the Chamber to insure the success of the day ' s activities. The retiring president Thomas Eoye, C4, re- ceived a gold gavel as the traditional presentation of the Chamber. During the year he was the hub of the activities assisted by Donald Heese, C4, vice-president; John Winters, C4, secretary; and Joseph Lechner, C3, treasurer; to ensure and encourage the accomplishments along the lines of business training. When June graduation rolls around the Cham- ber of Commerce presents each full member en- tering the businessmen ' s world with a gold key. 0 u ' 04UiC4 Donald Skomal, Paul Wachtler, Donald Morbach and Richard Lillard Father Hayden, Dean of Men Operating quietly behind the scenes to regulate the activities of Creighton ' s fra- ternities is the Inter-Fraternity council. The council is made up of representa- tives from each of the Hilltop greek letter organizations who see to the cultural, ath- letic and scholastic interests of the frater- nities. The highlight of the council ' s activities each year is the Inter-Fraternity Ball. The Ball and the naming of the mythical Helen of Troy constitutes one of the major social events of the school year. Candidates for Helen are chosen by the individual fraternities and the final voting for the winner is done by the council. The Rev. Charles K. Hayden, S.J., moderator of the group, tallies the final ballot and he alone knows the identity of the winner. In the field of athletics, the council each year sponsors inter-fraternity comp etition in touch football, basketball and softball. Traveling trophies are awarded in each of the sports for the winning teams. The council also sets dates for informal and formal rushing and designates dates 88 for pledge and initiation dinners. Each fraternity must submit a list of active mem- bers and pledges to the council at the beginning of the school year. Heretofore, the council has been made up of representatives from 13 Creighton fraternities but this year the members of Phi Lambda Pi voted to disband their chapter thus making the membership of 12 representatives. Don Morbach, representing Phi Alpha Delta, was this year ' s council president. Funds and finances were in the hands of Don Skomal of Delta Sigma Pi, and the minutes and records were kept by Dick Lillard of Phi Chi. Paul Wachter of Xi Psi Phi was vice-president of the group. Bernard Kelley, John Hoffman, Lee Bloomingdale and Thomas Lee Other members of the council incuded: Keith Ghostner, Delta Sigma Delta; Orie Adcock, Delta Theta Phi; John Tobin, Phi Rho Sigma; John Hoffman, Phi Epsilon; Henry Lee, Phi Sigma Chi; Bernard Kel- ley, Phalanx Lee Bloomingdale, Alpha Phi Omega, and Ted Donnelly from Phi Beta Phi. Barring minor insurrections over candi- dates for Helen of Troy and friendly rival- ries in inter-fraternity sports, the Inter Fra- ternity council is one of the stable groups on the Hilltop and is firmly entrenched as a permanent fixture. Thomas Donnelly, John Tobin, Orie Adcock and Bernard Chostner 89 eita Si(fHui elta Clini parties Delta. parties . . meetings . . so goes life in Delta Sigma Seventy-two students in good scholastic standing comprise the Omega chapter of the national dental fraternity. Galen Quinn has the official position of grand master; Keith Chastner is worthy master; Don Stormberg, scribe; Phil Mashka, treasurer and Louis Klein, tyler. Pledgemasters are Dean Smith and Dick Cordes. George Ber- ry serves as senior page, and Harold Kryski as junior page. Besides holding monthly meetings, the fraternity sponsored clinics throughout the year for the benefit of the members. Grad- uate members or instructors usually con- ducted the clinics. Delta Sigma Delta started the social year off right with a picnic at Fontenelle Park in September. Galen Quinn earned an ad- 00 ditional title by proving himself a champ- ion at pitching horseshoes. The following month they observed the traditional holiday of Hallowe ' en with a party at the Elks Club. A month later, however, the boys turned from enjoyment to concentrated effort on building a float for the Homecoming par- ade. Even this undertaking was not with- out its laughable moments. A combination rush party and chicken dinner at Rose ' s Lodge in November and a February pledge party at the Hibernian Club preceeded the initiation of new mem- bers in spring. On the road to Beta Beta went the dental students in March in order to visit the University of Nebraska chapter of Delta Sigma Delta. A dinner and table talk awaited them in Lincoln. Minneapolis, Minn., was the site of the national conven- tion, where fraternity chapters met in April. As a final finish for the social calendar, the Omegas gave a dance in honor of the senior members, who would soon have their names transferred from test papers to office doors. 9 2 e ta ' lUeta Plu Officers of Delta Theta Phi — Front roiv: Monroe, White, Adcock. Bade row: Merri- man, Dendinger, McGinn, Stewart. Every third week the Omaha Athletic club is the site for the regular meeting of the Bryan senate of Delta Theta Phi, na- tional legal fraternity. This fraternity was organized at Creigh- ton in 1913 with membership open to any law student in good standing. Its present active membership is 35. Seventeen pledges were accepted at a pledge party held at the Athletic club Nov. 17. Previously a rush party was held at the Hibernian club. Oct. 6 was the date of the dinner-dance held at the American Legion club for mem- bers and their guests. Special guests were The Very Rev. Carl M. Reinert, S.J., and the Rev. Charles K. Hayden, S.J. William P. Sternberg, professor of law, was the principal speaker. Nine upper classmen were initiated at a meeting on Nov. 7 and formal initiation was held jointly with the Nebraska univer- sity chapter of Delta Theta Phi. A Thanksgiving party was held Nov. 17 at the Rome hotel for members and their dates. The national convention was held Aug. 17, 18 and 19 at the Statler hotel in Cleve- land, 0. Philip 0. Stewart represented the Bryan senate at this convention.. The Christmas charity project this year, sponsored by the law wives, was the distri- bution of Christmas packages to needy families. Miss Margaret Hunt, L3, represented the fraternity for the title of Helen of Troy at the Inter-fraternity ball. Pat Mullin, a member of Delta Theta Phi, was a candi- date for King Creighton at the prom. Officers of Delta Theta Phi are: C. T. White, dean; Orie Adcock, vice- dean; Phillip 0.

The frat ' s pledges, which numbered around 20, could be seen doing their utmost to be worthy of the businessmen ' s frat as they went through Hell week. The traditional suits, badges of honor, ties and little black books could be seen floating around the campus in search of an active ' s signature. These activities occur twice a year, once in the fall and again in the spring. It seems as though torture never ceased for the Delts. The installation services were again held at the Fontenelle hotel this year. The fra- ternity held meetings twice monthly in the commerce school and also had a monthly professional dinner meeting at which time the business men of Omaha spoke to the frat members of the business world. The Belts sent five delegates to their national convention in Dallas Tex., this year. The delegates were: Robert Sibert, Thomas Foye, Jerry Murphy, Robert Mar- tin, and John Whaley. On the social side their activities included professional and business meetings for members only. The Delts also ran off with first place in the Homecoming parade with their float and were the Inter-fraternity football champions. The highlight of their social life was their Spring formal when they crowned their rose of the Delts and sent her picture to Chicago for competition in the national rose of Delta Sig. Seven- ty-five chapters enter their roses in the competition. This year ' s officers were Robert Sibert, head master Thomas Foye, senior warden; Jerry Murphy, junior warden; Meryl Lei- ferman, treasurer; Phillip Gronstal, scribe; Robert Martin, master of festivities; and Joseph Lechner, historian. The faculty mod- erator was Dr. John P. Begley, C.P.A. 95 ;r pu pUi Were the potential dentists of Xi Psi Phi made victims of a survey on What food do you eat most, Doctor, the answer would surely be spaghetti. At the rush party for sophomores in October and at the pledge party in February, this dish had a key position on the menu. To eliminate undue speculation on the use of said food as an obstacle course for becoming a Zip, the fraternity held another rush party in November at the Elks hotel — sans spaghetti. For Alpha Kappa ' s chapter of Xi Psi Phi a major social event sparked each semester. Pleasant autumn weather set the scene for a picnic at Hill Haven in Oc- tober, while right before the coming of spring St. Patrick ' s Day was the occasion 96 for a dinner dance. When it comes down to business the 60 members meet every two weeks with James Quinley as president, William Thompson as secretary, Marshall E. Carson as trea- surer, and George Shadda as scribe. The Zips intramural football and basketball teams come under the jurisdiction of ath- letic director Joe Lavin. Dr. Laren Teutsch, who heads the de- partment of pedodontics, is faculty moder- ator. When the national convention of the dental fraternity was convened at Mem- phis, Tenn., in December, Marshall E. Carson represented the Creighton dental college. Alpha Sigma Nu honored Charles Podre- barac and Robert Sprague with member- ship in the honorary fraternity. Robert Sprague also holds the distinction of being prefect of the Sodality Union of Creighton University. 97 PUal a t x. D-Day, H-Hour for Phalanx members was the close of the national convention signifying the trans- fer of the national headquarters from the University of Illinois to Creighton. The convention was held at the Fontenelle hotel last summer. A requisite for membership in the military fra- ternity is to be a member of advanced ROTC in good scholastic standing. Phalanx has been at Creighton for 37 years and its present active membership is 43. Activities throughout the year include a square dance, a Christmas party, a steak fry and other parties. Phalanx also sponsors the annual military ball. It was held this year on Feb. 8 and revealed Lois Ann Holbrook as honorary lieutenant colonel. Meetings are held monthly in the military day room in the gym. A medal of achievement is presented annually to the best cadet of each Omaha and Council Bluffs high schools and an award is also given to the best squad leader of the Creighton battalion each year. The national officers are all from Creighton and are: John Shannon, commander; John Peterson, lieutenant commander; Dale Thoreson, adjutant general; John Winters, finance officer and John F. Keenan, public information officer. The local officers include: Commander, Alvin Harris; lieutenant commander, Henry J. Dethlefs; adjutant, Donald Hatten; finance officer, Leonard Jurgensen; public information officer, Louis Pis- tone and operations officer, Lloyd Hubenka. The faculty moderator is Lt. Col. Arden C. Brill. 98 PUi £p. ilo4 Journalists aren ' t born, they are made to change the blood in their veins to ink and thrill to the roar of the presses. These and other qualities characterize the mem- bers of Phi Epsilon. This fraternity, the only journalism fraternity on campus, strives for better writing ability among its members. Creighton journalism students desiring membership must be majoring or minoring in the field and must have completed six hours of journalistic work. The member- ship totaled 12 this year. Their social activities included a formal initiation o f Phi Eps at the Bellvadere com- munity club house on Nov. 29. They also took part in the inter-fraternity ball held at Peony park on Dec. 13. The Phi Eps sponsored several smokers and social gatherings for the members and pledges throughout the year. The Phi Epsilon officers for this year were Gene Hines, president; John Hoff- man, vice-president; James Donnelly, sec- retary; Roger Vandenack, treasurer; and Leland Terry, sergeant-at-arms. Harry A. Dolphin is faculty advisor. 99 piu eUi Is there a doctor in the house? Not only one but seventy doctors-to-be are in the Phi Chi house when Chi Upsi- lon ' s chapter holds its bimonthly meeting. Although the Phi Chi has the distinction of being the largest medical fraternity in the world, the members do more than rest on their laurels. In December, 1953, the chapters of Creighton University and the University of Nebraska will play host for the national convention to be held then in Omaha. One of the first affairs of this year was Open House day in October when the sa- cred chambers of Phi Chi were made avail- able for inspection. Rushing of freshmen bright-spotted November, and pledging cer- emonies came not far behind in December. February saw two major events. Pros- pective Phi Chi ' s became actives through initiation on February 6, and Founders ' Day celebrations gave February 22 an add- ed significance. The fraternity rounded out its social sea- son with a senior dinner in the spring and a dinner dance at the Birchwood Club on May 3. Vital Haynes is presiding senior; David Chambers, presiding junior; John Dunn, secretary; Michael Gillespie, treasurer; Al Baumann, house manager; Loren Augus- tyn, steward; and Jay Carduff, judge ad- vocate. 100 Ptu eui 101 The annual Christmas party for crippled children wasn ' t anything new for members of Phi Beta Pi but this year a new twist was added — Santa Claus lost his stuffing along with his pants. This party was held in conjunction with the American Red Cross. This national medical fraternity was or- ganized in 1908 and its present member- ship is 107. Meetings are held four times a year at the fraternity house at 115 S. 34 street. The initiation banquet was held this year in the house and gardens room of the Blackstone hotel on March 10. Twenty- nine pledges were accepted. The annual formal dinner-dance was held at the Field club on May 10. Frequent P ki Rei a Pi house parties were also held throughout the year for members and alumni. This year witnessed the redecoration of the fraternity house with rugs and other furnishings being added. Marilyn Wagner, SJN3, a candidate of the Bete ' s, brought honor to the fraternity when she reigned as Homecoming queen this year. Jack Hefiron, a member of Phi Beta Pi, represented the medical school as a prince for the Junior-Senior prom. Fraternity officers are: Jim Fitzgerald, archon; Harry Jenkins, vice-archon; Don Sullivan, secretary; Joyce B. Kilmer, steward and Wayne Maks, editor. M. E. Grier, M.D., is the faculty mod- erator. ' ' W .S ' lme ' - tt P U (lUa SiifHta Creighton ' s chapter of Phi Rho Sigma, a na- tional medical fraternity sporting its fifty-second year on the Hilltop, still cla ims General Gram- ham, almnnus of the fraternity, as President Tru- man ' s personal physician. The purpose of the frat is to foster good fel- lowship in the medical profession, to further the interest of medicine and to promote understand- ing between practicing physicians and medical students. All medical students in good standing and not members of other medical fraternities are eligible for membership to Phi Rho. This medical frat boasts ninety members in Creighton ' s branch, which is the Eta chapter. They hold their meetings once a month at the frat house, at which time a seminar is held under the supervision of a faculty member who moder- ates the discussion on current medical topics. The peak of Phi Rho ' s many social functions is highlighted by their annual dinner dance, which is held for its members, their wives and all alumni of the organization. This year ' s event took place on April 28 at Omaha ' s Field Club. The frat also holds social functions such as smok- ers for the members several times a month. Miss Inez Flynn of St. Catherine ' s student nurses represented Phi Rho Sigma at the Helen of Troy festivities on Dec. 13 at Peony Park. She was crowned Queen of Helen of Troy at this time and received all royal honors. The members of Phi Rho also participated in athletics such as baseball, football and they boast- ed a champion basketball team. These teams com- peted intramurally at Creighton. The frat also found time to have the second floor of their house refurnished. This year ' s officers for the fraternity are: Ter- ence McGuire, president; John Tobin, vice-pres- ident; William Meyers, treasurer; and Richard Jones, recording secretary. Members of Creigh- ton ' s medical faculty moderate the fraternity. 104 105 Actives of Phi Alpha DeUa — Front row: Macken, Connor, Burkhart, Green, Sullivan, Dudek, Mc- Carthy. Back row: LeClair.

PUi Alfilta jbelta Law and order predominate when Phi Alpha Delts meets at bi-weekly intervals in the law building. Since it was chartered in the spring of 1950, the St. Thomas More Chapter of this national law fraternity has spent many hours in deliberation and legislation and — what ' s better — even more time in active execution. For this reason Phi Alpha Delta has chalked up a long list of accom- plishments. Throughout the year the fraternity spon- sored luncheons at which practicing attor- neys, as guest speakers, expounded on top- ics of legal interest. Delegates were kept on the move by at- tending two distric t conclaves — one in November at Missouri University and the other in March with the University of Iowa as host. The event on the largest 106 Pledges of Phi Alpha Delta — Front row: Norris, Craig, Ellsworth, Denenberg, Sacks, Koley, Kula, Gitnick, Bednar.

With these boys, however, life doesn ' t stop with parliamentary procedure. To keep in physical as well as legal trim, mem- bers go out for intramural football and basketball as the season demands. Although each of the 40 members must be in good standing scholastically, these fraternity brothers have the added distinc- tion of belonging to Alpha Sigma Nu , Jesuit honor society — Lee Bloomingdale, James Koley and James Greene, who is also vice-president of the society. Neither do the future barristers stam- mer for want of social grace. Smokers highlight the academic routine, and a spring dinner dance provides the finishing touch. James Greene serves as justice, Tim Sul- livan as vice-justice, Robert Burkhard as clerk, Matthew Dudek as treasurer, and Eugene Connor as marshal, Mr. Windsor Moore is faculty moderator. 107 Sitting: M.

This active fraternity boasts the member- ship of Bob Muldoon, president of the board of governors and John Tripeny, the secretary of Alpha Sigma Nu. Any sophomore in pharmacy college is eligible for membership in Phi Sigma Chi. A pledge dinner was held at Little Frank ' s in November and the initiation dinner was held in February at the Castle hotel. In 1950-51 Phi Sigma Chi reigned as intramural basketball champs.

The society was organized to recognize those students who have ex- celled in scholarship, loyalty and service to the University. Creighton ' s chapter, which was inactive for four years during the war, was founded in 1922 and this year boasts a membership of thirty-five Creigh- tonites. Membership in this group is the highest honor a student can receive while at Creighton. The dean of each school nominates two men who have distinguished themselves in their fields, and the president of the University selects three all university men for membership each year. The society holds monthly meetings and smokers and discusses current campus issues and programs. This year they co-operated in helping to solve the problem of intoxicating liquors at formal dances and engaged themselves in spreading the benefits of private Catholic education. On April 20, they held their annual dinner at the Omaha Athletic Club and honored their fifteen new members and some thirty Alumni. At the dinner they also paid tribute to their twenty-sixth year of the brotherhood ' s active existence on the Hilltop. To complete their social whirl, Alpha Sigma Nu, together with Gamma Pi Epsilon, sponsored a get- together of graduates, parents and faculty members on the North lawn of the administration building after the June baccalaureate ceremonies. The officers of Alpha Sigma Nu are: President, Charles M. Podrebarac, medicine; vice-president, John B. Tripeny, pharmacy; secretary, Richard E. Peters, medicine; and treasurer, James E. Greene, law. The Rev. Henry W. Casper, S.J., was moder- ator of the society. 110 First row: Mr. Pirrucello, Mrs. Czerwinski, W. Watt, sec ' y; D. Navarra, pres., G. Rose, vice-pres., K. Klein, A. Lee, J. Tripeny.

Drug companies were solicited, a fund established, and the program will begin to operate next year. Rho Chi ' s scholastic standards demand the completion of seventy-five hours of college work with a 3.00 average. For a candidate to be con- sidered by this National Honorary Pharmaceut- ical Society a capacity for achievement in the art and science of pharmacy must be evidenced, and finally, approval rests with the dean of the College of Pharmacy. Rho Chi itself has been on the campus since 1941. Its purpose, to promote the advancement of pharmaceutical sciences, is secured by the organization ' s provision that only schools and colleges that are members in good standing in the American Association of Colleges of Pharm- acy are given charters and chapters. George Rose was delegated as representative of Alpha Alpha to the national Rho Chi con- vention, which is always held in conjunction with the American Pharmaceutical Association ' s convention. This year Robert Smith and John Tripeny arranged a program at the Omaha meeting of the Nebraska Pharmaceutical Association ' s in conjunction with Rho Chi of Lincoln. This year ' s officers are: Dominic Navarra, president; George Rose, vice president; Walter Watt, secretary; and George Blonder, treasurer. Dr. William Jarrett is the moderator. Ill AlpJixs. Plu Oifi exfa Service is the purpose of Alpha Phi Omega, Creighton ' s only service fraternity. The fraternity has 18 members this year, which is its third year as an organization. Alpha Phi Omega is a local fraternity working for its nationalization. The re- quirements for membership are numerous, but one of the most important is that a candidate has to be or have been a member of the Boy Scouts of America. The frat holds business meetings semi-monthly at a smoker or in the Beanery for planning their projects which were many and varied this year. Among their most important projects which they sponsored or helped in were Red Cross charity, the Ugly Man Contest and Dance, Goodwill and the Blood Drive. In the social whirl the servicemen had Donna Vondra as their candidate for Inter-Fraternity Queen. The frat also awarded two service achieve- ment awards to John O ' Neill for ' 51 and James Win- ters for ' 52. This year the fraternity sent John O ' Neill and Frank Weathers to the national convention of Al- pha Phi Omega which was held at Columbia, Miss. They held their dinner at the Paxton hotel this year in early February and also sponsored a dance and several smokers for the members during the school year. The officers for this year were John O ' Neill, president; Lee Bloomingdale, vice-president; John Bell, secretary and James Winters, treasurer. Mr. Robert Reilly, head of the public relations of Creighton, is chairman. 112 Standing: P. Jackson, J. Connell, K. Barry, S. Lewis, S. O ' Connor, B. Maher. Seated: Mrs. Hamilton. PoH - ellefUc Qo444ixM The inter-sorority matters are handled by the Pan-Hellenic council composed of the two sorority presidents and two mem- bers chosen from both sororities. Under the sponsorship of Mrs. C. W. Hamilton, dean of women, members meet monthly to discuss the rules and regulations governing the sororities. Rushing and initiation activities are set by them as are also the dates and places for their dances and parties held through- out the year. This year members of the council as- sisted with orientation week. They led tours of the school and staffed information booths. In February the council sponsored the annual formal dance at the Birchwood club. Preceding the dance, members of the coun- cil were honored at a dinner. Officers of the Pan-Hell council are: Sallie O ' Connor, president; Mary Jo Connell, vice-president; Sallie Lewis, secre- tary and Pat Jackson, treasurer. 113 Qa4ftmxi Pi CfiUlo ' n Flames from black candles, programs of blue suede, and flowers of pastel hues set the scene at the Athletic Club for one of the most important devel- opments in the coed world — the installation of Gamma Pi Epsilon on February 9. This national Jesuit honor society for women is the counterpart of Alpha Sigma Nu for men, which has been active at Creighton for twenty-six years. Although the sorority is comparatively an infant, it has taken quick steps toward efficient organization. At the installation ceremonies Very Reverend Carl M. Reinert, S.J., presented the first thirty-seven pledges with their pins. A banquet which followed honored the new members, Charles Podrebara, Al- pha Sigma Nu president, Father Reinert, the deans and regents of all Creighton schools, and Mrs. Maurine Hamilton — faculty moderator. Meeting the same evening, the chapter immed- iately elected officers, who must be senior students during their term of service. In March they drew up by-laws and made plans for the formal installa- tion of new members in spring. Gamma Pi Epsilon is primarily a service organ- ization which aims to assist the university in what- ever way possible — from giving teas for honored guests to raising funds for a special enterprise. Therefore, members are chosen for loyalty and service to the school as well as scholarship. For the first appointees the deans and regents drew from present seniors and outstanding grad- uates since 1946. Ordinarily, however, three jun- iors are chosen each year from the College of Arts and one from each of the other colleges giving a degree, with two at large appointed by the president. This ratio is based on the total number of coeds in each school. Already the society has a membership that ex- tends from California to Pennsylvania, consists of forty-eight girls, and includes three medical doctors. 114 AlfUia fiUlo 9oia Most exclusive chapter on the C. U. scene is Alpha Beta of the Alpha Epsilon Iota national medical sorority. This small group of girls epit- omizes a rare combination of qualities — they ' re female science experts and they comprise an ac- tive social group. Necessarily curtailed from large scale opera- tions by their gruelling schedu les of labs and lec- tures, the girls find opportunity only a few times a year for informal meetings. When they get together, though, it ' s strictly social, — no shop talk allowed. The girls ' houses provide the set- ting for the cozy get-togethers; in this way they realize one part of the sorority ' s ideals — develop- ment and continuance of a spirit of social help- fulness and good fellowship. The remainder of their ideals are realized in the class room, with the maintenance of a high order of scholastic and professional achievement. Alpha Zeta chapter is a member of the Pan- Hellenic Sorority Council, and is one of the thir- ty-one chapters of this national sorority of future women doctors. 115 Kofipxi lieia Qa4fUfta Our guys ' ll sock ' em, predicted the Kappa Beta Gammas on their float for the Homecoming parade, but it was the Kap- pas that socked ' em and won third prize in the float contest. The main feature of the project was, of course, a huge argyle sock constructed of paper, chicken-wire and tedious work. Early in October, baby orchids set the theme for the rush tea which honored new women students. Two hundred of the dainty flowers, flown in from Hawaii for the event, added to the attractive, colorful scene created by the actives in their formal attire. Costumes underwent a dire change for the rush party two weeks later. Nursery rhyme characters replaced the usual soror- ity personalities, as the K.B.G.s brought the world of Mother Goose to reality. In- vitations made of lollipops and composed as paraphrased nursery rhymes initiated the youthful mood which pervaded the party. However, it was back to formals again in November, when the Blackstone Hotel was the site of the preference dinner and pledge ceremonies. Little did the pledges realize that the solemnity of this occasion was not typical of sorority life. Heck Day and Heck Night told the woe- ful tale. Besides being totally subject to the actives ' Avishes on that dreaded day, each pledge had to go pale face, over- 116 Standing: A. Lee, C. Durr, S. Fuccio, M. Borg, C. Ken- worthy, R. Ferris.

Using only back stairs and not speaking to boys heightened the humility. The night at Miller park brought little relief. To prove their hearts are in the right place, the Kappas let the pledges make up each other — while blindfolded, of course. Little games of this nature per- sisted throughout the evening but, fortun- ately, came to a halt right before the breaking point. When initiation at the Hilltop House in February raised the pledges to an active status, All ' s well that ends well seemed an appropriate way of expressing the new members ' feelings. The approach of spring marked a def- inite turning point in Kappa Beta Gamma life. The annual mixer which the sorority sponsors charged the Beanery with new vim and gaiety for one evening. Later on, an innovation in social doings brought everyone out into the open for a steak fry, which combined enjoyment with nutrition. A traditional brunch brought mothers and daughters together at the Hilltop and enabled the girls to pay to their mothers the tribute deserved but often overlooked. Sal Lewis has been president for the year, Barbara Welsh, secretary, and Rose- mary Brunner, treasurer. With elections in April, the new set of officers prepared for the days after installation in May when they would ascend to the driver ' s seat and hold the reins for the year to come. 117 First row, left to right: J.

This year 21 pledges were accepted for membership in this national Catholic sor- ority. Meetings are held twice monthly at the home of members. The Marguerite or rush tea was held this year on Oct. 7 at the home of Ritamae Brady. On Oct. 14 the rush party was held at the Sea Scout boat on Carter lake with Showboat for the theme.

Christmas projects this year were a Christmas spread for inmates at the Clear- view hoine and caroling around the school by sorority members. Every first Friday members of Pi Lamb- da Sigma receive communion in a body at the student mass. The national convention will be held this year in Cincinnati. Officers of the sorority will be sent as delegates to the convention. Officers of 1951-52 are: Barbara Maher, president ; Peggy Rafter, vice-president; Ritamae Brady, secretary; Jean Wagner, treasurer; Pauline Slack, as- sistant treasurer; Nancy Fogarty, ritualist; Jean Wachtler, registrar; Doris Severin, historian; Sallie O ' Connor, senior pan- hellenic representative, and Kathleen Bar- ry, junior pan-hellenic representative. The Rev. Austin E. Miller, S.J., is the sorority chaplain. 119 Amos Eastrich, first semester editor John Hoffman, second semester editor Q i ei(fJii( ama t Creightontown with its population of 2,260 is among the 25 Jesuit university campuses in the United States. As in any other town, in Creighton- town there exists a newspaper office. Cen- trally located in the administration build- ing, this office is better known to the townfolks as the newsroom, home of the Creightonian. Holding membership in the Jesuit College Newspaper associa- tion, the National College and Catholic School Press associations, and the Asso- ciated College press, this student publica- tion is printed and distributed weekly to all schools and colleges of the town. Cop- ies also to former residents and neighbor- ing towns. The Creighton workshop is typical of the office of any metropolitan newspaper. Each staff member is assigned to a definite run of news sources. He in turn details the reporters assigned to him to beats. Cov- erage is given each department, fraternity, sorority and organization. Personality and 122 occasional features, editorials and humor columns offer a few of the numerous spe- cialties found in the paper.. Last May the staff for this year was appointed by the Rev. R. C. Williams, S.J., director of the department of journalism, together with instructors in the department. Appointments were made for the second semester at the Press Club banquet in the latter part of January. 123 1 I IJ Amos Eastridge acted as managing editor for the first semester. His duties were assumed the second semester by John Hoffman. John ' s title of news editor was passed to R. Gene Hines dur- ing the last semester. Gerry Keiner took up where Gene left off as city editor. The position of copy chief, handled by Gerry the first semester was earned by Jack Hovorka. The sports page was first edited by Roger Vandenack and then by Vernon Turczon. Peggy Rafter left her post as editorial chief to take over Mary Ann Hartman ' s job as society editor for the second semester. The editorials were then under the editorship of Marjeanne Borg. John Keenan ' s position of feature editor was filled by Leland Terry during the second semes- ter. Mary Ann Hartman assumed the role of circulation manager, previously held by Marion Feist. Society reporters this year were Marion Feist, Grace Haniszewski, Rosie O ' Meara, Gerry Green- biatt, Mary Alice Hayes, Barbara Rew, and Diane McKenna. Those who wrote news on city side were Bill Fogarty, Laddie Kuzela, Robert McConaughy, Charles Vais, Karl Friederich, Bernie Becker, Tom Brown, and John Freiburger. Reporting campus sports were Rog Vanden- ack, Tom Doyle, Ray McMahon, and Bill Dunn. Feature writers on both city and society side were Leland Terry, feature editor, Tom Brown, Robert McConaughy, Barbara Rew, and Diane McKenna. Faculty advertising manager for the year was Soren Munkhof. Harry Dolphin acted as fac- ulty advisor. Harry Dolphin, Faculty Moderator Station Manager 1st Semester, Ray McMahon K. 0. e. f. KOCU, Creighton ' s campus radio station, is an outlet for the talent which belongs on the air. The students who make up the staff broad- cast five days a week. In this way, they are given the opportunity to receive experience nec- essary to be professional announcers and radio actors. In March, KOCU participated in KBON day. Staff members took over the local radio station for a day ' s broadcasting. All announcing, act- ing, talent, and writing was done by members of the KOCU and Creightonian staffs. The third annual KOCU dance was another big feature of the year. Lambert Bartak and his orchestra played for the dance and a variety show was featured at intermission. Owen Bur- kley acted as master of ceremonies. One of the highlights of the first semester was a discussion group broadcasting once a week. This group, the Facts Forum, is a nationwide, non-profit organization whose purpose is the arousing of an interest in national affairs. KOCU recorded one of these discussions and entered it in the national Facts Forum contest. This tape recording won second place in the nation. The group that took part in this discussion consisted of John Tate, Oinaha director of the Facts Forum, and students Raymond McMahon, John O ' Neill, Charles McFadden, Jim Winters, and moderator Frank McDermott. KOCU also broadcast both football and bas- ketball games. Through the football sea- Station Manager 2nd Semester, Dan Lomax 125 Drama show on the air with Terry Kealey, John McGee, Dan Lomax and Cathy Williams reading scripts. son this was accomplished by the efforts of John McGee and Charles McFadden. The basketball games were broadcast by Dick Bay, Ray McMahon, Chuch McFadden and Owen Burkley. Drama played an important part in the broadcasting of the year. Theatre Work- shop, under the direction of Gunther Brugge- man, and Spotland on Drama, produced by John O ' Neill, alternated weekly through both the first and second semesters. During the second semester a new program called Radio Workshop, was introduced. This consisted of a weekly half-hour play put on the air by the members of the Rev. R. C. Williams ' radio production class and other casted actors. Another dramatic program which deserves mention is a weekly Room 13, a production of readings by John McGee. Eight members of the staff traveled to the Lindenwood convention of the Intercollegiate broadcasting system in Missouri during the Looking over records and continuity: Sales and Promotion manager Terry Kealey, Continuity Director Mary Has- elton, Ass ' t Continuity Director Harold Quinn, Music Director Ronald Lippold.

Creighton university presents stu- dents and faculty in a live television broadcast and opens wide her doors of knowledge to the general public. Every two weeks WOW-TV contri- butes time and production assistance to the 9:45 evening program. Creighton provides the talent and the information. Bacteriology Behind the Doors of Knowledge 128 One program, entitled Medical Research Keeps You Healthy, was presented by the Creighton school of medicine. News reports of the Mid- west Clinical Society were clarified. Dr. Nicholas Dietz, associate professor of biochemistry and nutrition, answered the questions of students John Fitzgibbons and John Tripenny. He ex- plained the report to them and thus helped the audience understand it. Since the nine colleges and professional schools contribute to the series, the programs presented are of widely diversified interests, ranging from foreign trade in Omaha to atomic energy for better living. Secondly, the series serves the students who are interested in the television industry. Stu- dent announcers for the program often receive the experience which is needed to launch them on a successful career in the television field. The training they receive by participating in the series proves invaluable in later years. Recent graduates of Creighton have become producers and directors of network programs in New York. The fortnightly, fifteen-minute program is un- der the direction of the Rev. R. C. Williams, S.J., director of the department of journalism, who is a pioneer in television experimentation at Creigh- ton.

The administration ' s interest in the combina- tion military-university band was evidenced in the special academic credit given to members of the band. Drums and cymbals constitute the percussion section of the musical company. The clarinets and saxaphones form the reed division while baritones, French horns, and trombones compose the brass portion. After a year ' s leave of absence Marvin George returned to direct the band. Cadet Kenneth Stangel is the assistant director. The Rev. Aus- tin E.

The national placement bureau helps to establish career contact for mem- bers of the society upon graduation. Pub- lishing a monthly journal at reduced rates for all affiliates, the ACS provides reason- able subscriptions for those interested in chemical publications. Here on the campus members of the Creighton chapter meet monthly to discuss different aspects of their field and thus widen their scope of knowledge. They are interested primarily in practical experience outside of the classrooms. Wishing to be- come accustomed ot the techniques of pre- senting matter before an audience, the group listens attentively to the pointers of their guest speakers who are often leading chemists of Omaha or members of the Creighton faculty. Tours are listed among their activities and this year the members visited the Cen- tral States Grain corporation. There they inspected the building and talked with offi- cials about job openings. Richard Doss was president of the affil- iation for ' 51 and ' 52. He was assisted by Don Burdick as vice-president. The joint position of secretary-treasurer was held by Ray Henry. Faculty moderator of the group was Dr. C. E. Kenny. 135 PcuUeun. QlidM. Boasting the largest membership quota maintained by any campus organization on the hill, the Pasteur club numbers 110 actives. Since 1929 the Pasteur club has been one of the more active groups on the hill. With science as their prime interest, mem- bers are those who have qualified by taking a course in biology. Speakers frequent the monthly meetings and aid in furthering member interest and knowledge in the field of science. This year Dr. Leo V. Jacks was among the guest speakers. His subject was concerned with the importance of a knowledge of Greek roots and derivatives in the study of biol- ogy and its allied forces. A square dance in October initiated the club ' s social season. Tickets were sold to the school by members. Les Cline called the figures for the dance in the auditorium. Homecoming busied Pasteur members 136 with float construction. Sink the Cy- clones was the theme of the float for the jjarade. BiUie Blue] ay was portrayed sink- ing a basket. Magic and music highlighter the annual Christmas party held by the club. The Rev. Charles K. Hayden, S.J., entertained with numerous feats of magic. Dancing and refreshments completed the evening ' s festivities. Maytime means picnic time for the Pas- teur club. This annual event is looked forward to by all members and outsiders on the hill. Tickets are sold for the event and food, games and races make the entire day THE social affair of the season. Officers for the club are elected at the last regular meeting of the school year. These offices are effective for a two-semes- ter term. This year offices were held by Charles Wittenberger, president; Rita Kucirek, vice- presidnt; Rita Kisicki, secretary; and Sam Milone, treasurer. 137 Q. . o tUe. A in. Creighton university of the air comes of age. The twenty-first year of the weekly radio broad- casts over WOW began with the 1952 series of programs. C. U. of the Air provides a variety showing of college life for the radio audience by pre- senting Creighton talent, news and campus ac- tivities over the airwaves. Written, directed, and announced by university students the pro- grams also reflect the training the students have received through work on the campus broad- casting station. Announcing the programs, reading the news and presenting the feature stories this year were John McGee, John Schinker, Dan Lomak and Ray McMahon, active staff members of the cam- pus station. Writing and compiling the newscasts was Gene Hines, Creightonian news editor. Tom Brown composed the features which introduced campus personalities or interesting student activities. Talent was abundant for the 1952 series. The versatility of Creighton students was exemplified during the semester of broadcasting. Vocal ar- tists were found both on the hilltop and at the nurses ' homes. Instrumentalists showed profi- ciency at the guitar, piano and accordion. Terri Aldera, Nancy Cannon, Pat Rathgeber, Loretta Thiele and Salvatore Biciulla are but a few of the students who have lent their vocal and instru- mental talents to the variety show Combining the tasks of continuity writer and director of the series was Owen Burkley. The faculty moderator for Creighton univer- sity of the air is the Rev. R. C. Williams, S.J,, director of the department of journalism. 138 Q ieiCfJiic-H. Plcufe il Back stage, on stage, out front in the box office the Creighton Players prepare for the spring and fall dramatic productions. Anyone interested in stage work, grease paint and play acting is eligible for membership. The newly formulated constitution cancels the former policy of the players of including in their organization only those who have participated in a Creighton production. At their bi-monthly meetings the attempt was made to acquaint the players with all phases of the theater. Through the skits which were presented at each meeting by some of the members they learned to criticize one another ' s work and to correct their own. Officers elected for the year were: Terry Kealey, president; Charles McFadden, vice-president; Jean- ette Black, secretary and Pat Muldoon, treasurer. The Players chose Moliere ' s farce comedy, The Miser, for their fall production. Owen Burkley was starred in the title role and Terry Kealey was featured in the role of his friend, the match maker. Supporting members of the cast included Pat O ' Con- nor, Patty Friel, Ann Caldwell, Charles McFadden, Everett Jones, John Buglewicz and Spyridon Meares. It was under the direction of Francis Anderson. In February the last pre-Lenten dance of the year was sponsored by the Creighton Players. It was a Beanery mixer which carried out themes of comedy and tragedy masques. It was to the tragedy masque that the Players turned for their spring play. They undertook the production of the spiritual drama, Shadow and the Substance by P. V. Carroll. Student Dan Lomax designed the sets. A fitting climax to the drama group ' s year of activity was award night. A banquet was held for the members of the Creighton Players, their mod- erator, the Rev. N. J. Lemke, S.J., and honored guests. Recipients of little oscars were the best actress, actor, supporting acrtress, and supporting actor. A service award was presented for further- ing interest in dramatics at Creighton. Onien uUijO ' Mil (leUdiaitl QluM- Creighton was represented at the Mis- sissippi Valley South convention by mem- bers of the International Relations club. At a regional meeting of midwest colleges at Midland college in Fremont, Neb., John Bell and Arnold Mandewelle served as delegates. Representatives from Kansas, Iowa, Mis- souri and Nebraska met at Midland in Oc- tober to discuss world affairs. The first and third Tuesdays of each month find members of the IRC attending the meetings where informal talks on cur- rent subjects take place. Fifteen members elected John Bell to the office of president, William Huerter as vice president; and William Bauer to the post of treasurer. Dr. P. Raymond Neil- son, professor of history and director of the department, moderates the group. Among guest speakers who spoke to IRC members this year were Karl Frieder- ich, Miss Theresa Tiampo and George Te- sar. Karl, a German exchange student to the United States and Creighton, told club members of post-war Germany. Miss Tiam- po spoke on her native Hong Kong and conditions there while Mr. Tesar, a former hockey star in the Olympics, related stories from Czechoslovakia, his homeland. 140 P ieU QUJf Join the journalists, the sign read. And that ' s what they did when 25 students with either majors or minors in that field attended the first meeting of the Press club last fall. Election of officers was first on the docket way back in November. John Hoffman was voted pres- ident for the first semester; Amos Eastridge won the position of vice president and Diane McKenna that of secretary. Leland Terry won the votes for treasurer of the group. That same month the journalists were making plans for their dance to be held in the Beanery Jan. 4. Poster committees were formed by volun- teers with the artistic touch. A large advertising scheme was laid out and carried through by mem- bers of the club. Hilltoppers were ready for the dance, having just returned to the lab and lecture routine the day before. Christmas vacation had ended but the new social year was just getting underway. At the end of January the Press club entertained again. This time it was at their annual banquet held this year at the Birchwood club. Jerry Free- man, editor of the South Omaha Sun, was guest speaker. His topic concerned problems facing an editor of a community weekly and it proved a well- chosen one for the future jouornalists. Harry A. Dolphin, faculty advisor of the Creigh- tonian and moderator of the club, presented the awards. A service award, voted each vear to the student who has contributed the most to the Creightonian, was presented to Mary Ann Hartman, first semester society editor. To the outstanding reporter of the semester went a new award. The scroll, presented to Jack Hovorka, was awarded him by the advisor and editor who selected the reporter from nomina- tions made by other editors on the Creightonian staff. Certificates went to editors and reporters for writing the best news, feature, society, sports stor- ies and the best editorial. These were selected from all those types written during the semester.Judges were professional newsmen. The Rev. R. C. Williams, S.J., director of the department of journalism announced the new Creightonian staff for 1952. Elections brought the club into action for the second semester ' s activities. Roger Vandenack was written in on the ballots as president; Diane Mc- Kenna as vice president; Mary Ann Hartman for secretary and Jack Hovorka for treasurer. The initial project for the new term was a bene- fit basket ball game March 5 between the Creighton Bluejays and the Rapid City, S. D., A.F.B. team. Tickets and concessions were sold by members of the club. Door prizes were solicited and a pub- licity campaign planned. Two girls teams, the Clippers and Commercial Extension, highlighted the evening of sports. Proceeds from the game were put aside for a camera for the journalism depart- ment. 141 alut Qa uiU Sfi eecU QUiM- One of the newer clubs on the campus is the John Carroll speech club, established under the sponsorship of the student bar association of the law school in September, 1951. Principal credit for its organization should go to Orie Adcock who headed the bar ' s speech club committee. Officers of the John Carroll club were: Thom- as Burns, president; Edmund McGinn, vice-pres- ident; Phyllis Verzanti, secretary; James Sher- man, treasurer; Thomas Walsh, publicity and James Greene, program chairman. The purpose of the club was to foster interest and encourage participation of students in the art of public speaking, relative to topics of inter- est to the legal profession. Robert ' s rules of order are followed, with particular emphasis on extemporaneous discussion. Meetings were held every second Tuesday this year and the program included several prepared talks together with ten extemporaneous discus- sions on subjects undisclosed until the time the speaker was called upon. Poor points in delivery brought about the assessment of a fine to be placed in the club treasury. Toastmaster for each meeting was de- cided by means of a rotation method in order that each member would get a chance. A tape recorder was used at some of the talks to enable members to hear their own mode of delivery and thus correct their faults. Certifi- cates of membership were awarded to all quali- fying students. The largest activity this year was the partici- pation in defense efforts in aid to Charles E. Wilson, defense mobilizer. Traveling in two-man teams, members of the club addressed many civic organizations on the topic, Civilian De- fense. All members who participated in this function were given recognition by having their names inscribed on the honor scroll of the de- partment of defense. Constitutional ratification of the John Carroll speech club in November of 1952 gave law stu- dents the opportunity to enjoy themselves in learning the correct art of delivery from jury and community. 142 MaiUeUL First organized in the fall of 1929, the Creigh- ton university Math club carried on activities in that field until the spring of 1938 when it was discontinued. This year, the Math club was reorganized and activated through the efforts of faculty members, Alvin K. Bettinger, Morris Dansky. John Eng- lund and Thomas Gilroy in co-operation with the students. To enable the members to further acquaint themselves with more interesting, if little known, phases of mathematics and to initiate into the lives of the members a broader view of mathe- matical theory, are the purposes of the club. Activities of the Math club this year consisted of various lectures by the members, both student and faculty. Subjects discussed were: the zero, topology, non-Euclidean geometry, the three big problems of geometry, prime numbers, and pi. Officers for this year were: Howard Morrison, president; Joseph Duran, vice president and Er- vin Rayman, secretary-treasurer. The program- ming committee was headed by vice president Duran who received help from committee mem- bers Sheila Smythe and John O ' Neill. John Cal- vin, former committee chairman, graduated in January. Mr. Englund acts as faculty moderator for the group. 143 SfKmUJt QUw- An air of informality was demonstrated at their monthly meetings as members of the Spanish club departed from the monotony of classroom proce- dure. Conversational Spanish and the business at hand substituted for the three hour credit routine of questions and answers in the schedule of regular class work. Clubbism was at its acme when the 60 would-be Spanish conversationalists congregated to gain a better insight into the language of their choice. Ac- tivities and entertainment materialized through the planning and energetic push behind the organiza- tion. With Mr. Paul J. Sorrentino acting as moderator, four officers conducted the meetings. Pierre Keit- ges, president, was assisted this year by James Q. Miller, vice president ; Lucille Hanley, secretary ; and Gilbert Bacon, treasurer. December saw The Arena, scene of the Spanish bull lights depicted by 20 gaily attired members. This theme was presented in the Homecoming par- ade of 1951. Gaiety of a different nature was displayed when the Los Nortenos Trio from Mexico City performed at one of the social meetings this year. These pro- fessional entertainers were a strictly Spanish speak- ing three who offered a great deal in the way of interest and pleasure to Spanish clubbers. Movies played a leading role both in the enter- tainment and education of the Spanish club during the course of the second semester. Mexican resorts keyed one of the films titled ' :0n the Road to Aca- pulco. Another presentation was of the Spanish classic Don Quixote. A Marquise and Marquis, elected by popular vote of the members, reigned at the Tri-Lang dance in April. A semi-formal affair, the dance was spon- sored by the three modern language clubs on the campus. f1 mf . f s 144 ana eiui Creighton ' s young married couples are offered guidance through the Cana club. It has for its twofold purpose, the spiritual and social assistance of the married couples. Cana club members bring their children to the monthly meetings. At the meetings current family problems and their solutions are discussed. Through these discussions the members learn ways to pro- mote a truly Christian marriage. Perhaps one of the most active groups on the campus, Cana club members sponsor many social activities. The Halloween party was first on their agenda this year. A costume affair, prizes were given for the most original disguises. The annual Christmas party for the children Santa Claus serving table in the beanery. Gifts were on the menu for the afternoon. In the spring Creighton ' s young marrieds stepped out for their April dinner dance. Cana club mem- bers applauded Mrs. Creighton, 1952. The dinner dance highlights the group ' s social season. The Day of Recollection is an admirable activity of the Cana club. Patterned after a retreat this activity looks to the spiritual welfare of the young marrieds. Under the direction of the Rev. J. Willis Averill, S.J., moderator of the group, the Cana club offers Creighton married couples the opportunity to meet on common ground. As a special accommodation for its members, the club handles Blue Cross insurance for the group. Officers of the Cana club were Joseph Reeves, president; Michael Senkewitz, vice-president; Niles Hansen, treasurer, and Mrs. Donald Bell, secretary. 145 PefxCUL The question mark , . . the huddle . . . the T and V formations ... are all familiar routines to the Blue Peppers. Organ- ized in October of 1951, the Peppers are Creigh- ton ' s first cheerleader — pep club combo. A group of seven coeds originated and acted upon the idea of a campus club such as this. Class representatives were sent to a meeting of the Student Board of Governors to present the idea and explain the activity. Board members discussed the proposal and several weeks later approved it. Qualifications for membership in the club were established by charter members and ratified by the Board. It was decided that those wishing to belong should attend all home games except two. Official club sweaters were made a mem- bership requisite. Purchased by the individuals, the sweaters chosen were white slip-overs with a large C on the front. Inside the letter was perched a Blue] ay. Over and under this was written Creighton University Pep Club. Fifty students became regular Peppers and shared a reserved section at basketball games. The Rev. Charles K. Hayden, S.J., Dean of Men, and Mrs. C. W. Hamilton, Jr., Dean of Women acted as moderators for the club. Officers were elected for a one year term. Richert Taylor headed the Blue Peppers this year as president. His cabinet included Irene Roz- man, vice-president; Celia McGuire, secretary; and Perry Keitges, treasurer. Last year ' s cheerleaders and two representa- tives from each class in the arts college judged potential cheerleaders. Final selections were made by the club moderators and the Board of Governors. Jack Hovorka, Patrick Howe, Patty Friel, Barbara Rew, Joan Edwards, Mary Ellen Dugan and Richert Taylor were chosen to lead the cheers of the Peppers. Together the club and cheerleaders led the student body and supported the team at every home game. Pne ' JlexfxU AdAjooicUio Congratulations, Mr. President The newest addition to Creighton ' s group of organizations is the Creighton university Pre- legal association. Its organization was sponsored by the student bar association of the school of law. Formation of the club was accomplished by the activity of the committee on pre-legal orientation which was headed by Edmund A. McGinn. With the aid of James Holmberg, McGinn con- tacted all students registered in pre-law. Mem- bership, however, was open to anyone interested in the legal profession. This year the body main- tained a membership of 70. Upon ratification of the constitution in Decem- ber, the group began to hold regular business meetings. The purpose of the club was to enable the pre-law student to familiarize himself with the merits and obligations of the legal profes- sion and to aid in the choosing of his pre-legal courses. Comprised of students, the executive commit- tee for the first year was comprised of McGinn and Holmburg. Officers were : Pat Walsh, pres- ident; Joseph Buckey, vice-president and Donald Cimpl, secretary-treasurer. Winsor C. Moore, assistant professor of law, acted as moderator of the group. The complete membership had the opportunity to participate in activities spon- sored by the student bar association. Highlights of the year ' s activities included lectures and discussions on legal problems of special interest to those in pre-law. Also on the activity agenda were: an orientation on the mode and nature of the study of law; several movies on civil procedure and criminal law; participa- tion in the moot court arguments presented by the law school in May; versing the members on legal research and several social functions in the spring. In carrying out the designed plans established by the bar executive committee, the newly-created pre-legal association completed a most successful year, one beneficial not only to its members, but to the law school as well. Plekid GluL Pleiad, with its background in literature, is an appropriate name for the group of students interested in the art of writing poetry. In Greek literature, the name Pleiad has been applied by Alexandrian critics to a group of poets flour- ishing during the reign of Ptolemy. There were also Pleiads in French literature during the reigns of Charlemagne, Henry III and Louis XIII. The Pleiad club, as known by most Creighton students, is a poetry group organized in the spring of 1951, under the direction of Dr. Robert Nossen, director of the English department. Its purpose is to acquaint those interested in writing poetry with the various forms of poetical device and the appropriate ways of using these forms in the creation of better poetry. Officers of the club this year were: Janet Sig- ler, president; Pat Dunleavy, program chairman and Rosie O ' Meara, publicity manager. Although this organization is still young, it has been very active as a needed stimulus for creative works. Both last year and in the spring of 1952 the group attended the National Writers ' Conference at Grinnell, la. Two of the club members, Janet Sigler and John O ' Neill, have had poems accepted by na- tional anthologies, either prior to or during their period of membership in the group. This year the club submitted works to the National Euchar- istic conference at Barcelona, Spain honoring Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. Most noted of their activities of value to the community was a lecture which the group spon- sored in April. Under the auspices of the Pleiad club Paul Engle, noted lecturer and an authority on poetry, was brought to Creighton to lecture on Modern Poetry and Its Influences. After the lecture, a reception was held so those attend- ing could meet and converse with Mr. Engle. A dinner was held that evening for Mr. Engle, mem- bers and guests. Poetry to many individuals seems to be com- pletely aesthetic; but its practicalities are being forwarded through the efforts of the Creighton Pleiad club. 148 Jt. cuuauan euL In 1948 Creighton students from Hawaii band- ed together to form a local club of their native islands. Since that time, the group has increased its once small membership to a present total of 45. Monthly meetings are held in the administra- tion building. The club initiated new members at the Rome hotel in November. In December the members entertained at a Christmas party. A spring picnic terminated the social events of the year for the Hawaiians. May held the largest attraction for the Hawai- ian club and the entire campus. This was the month of the May Day dance. Orchids, leis, ukelele music, and Hawaiian dance numbers were featured by the club members who acted as sponsors. Officers of the group, elected at the fall term were the following: Benjamin Chock, president; Melvin Yamaguchi, vice-president; Walter Watt, treasurer, and Sam Wong, secretary. The Rev. Charles K. Heyden, S.J., served as faculty moderator for the club. Three members were called to the service dur- ing the first semester. Anita Lee, a senior coed in pharmacy was init- iated into Rho Chi, national honorary pharma- ceutical society. She is an active member of the Hawaiian club. 149 2 eAcUi This year of debating saw Creighton winning as far west as Los Angeles and as far east as Madison, Wis., to finish the season with a 75 per cent win record. First on the schedule was an engagement in six non-decision debates at Midland college in Fremont, Neb. Making the trip were: Delwyn Nagengast, Tom Burns, George Graham, A. Lee Bloomingdale, Jim Koley, and Frank McDermott. In the initial tournament of the year at Wayne State Teachers College, Neb., Creighton placed second by winning seven out of 10 debates. Gra- ham and Bloomingdale were undefeated. Nagen- gast and Burns won three out of four. Nagen- gast won second place in oratory. Between semesters, Nagengast, Koley, Burns and John Bell made a 4,000 mile tour through the Southwest. Their debate opposition was the University of New Mexico, Loyola of Los An- geles an d George Pepperdine College of Los Angeles. The new semester found Creighton debaters attending the University of Nebraska invitational tournament scoring a six out of eight win. Su- periors won by the squad were: George Graham in extemporaneous; Delwyn Nagengast in ora- tory and debate and Nagengast and Burns as a debate team. At the Omaha university invita- tional they captured a four out of eight win. John O ' Neill teamed with Don Bruckner and Frank McDermott with Bob Klein. Creighton played host to a visiting team from the University of California. By a two-one deci- sion, Koley and Bloomingdale defeated the visit- ors in an audience debate held in the moot court Two Creighton teams traveled to Shenandoah, la., where the American Legion played host for an exhibition date. Nagengast and Burns, Koley and Bloomingdale made the debate. At the Ne- braska intercollegiate meet in Fremont, Frank McDermott and Bob Klein tied for the first place in their division with a five out of six record. The topic debated at these meets this year was, A Permanent Program of Price and Wage Control. Moderator for the squad was Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S.J. 150 St. Joseph ' s Glee Club — First row: Kiai, Straus, McMannanian, Pestotsik, Herbolsheimer, Thiele. Bla- lia, Ryan, McCarthy, Chris- ty, Vanderheider, Heese.

Qlua Black and orange crepe paper and candle light transformed the beanery into an eerie excava- tion for sleazy skeletons last October when Creighton students gathered to party ' auf deutsch. Forty German club members were celebrating Halloween. Apple ducking and prize games entertained the club at its first social meet of the year. Usually der student s are earnestly attempt- ing a better knowledge of the language and cus- toms of the country whose conventions and con- versation they study. Their monthly meetings are concerned with the history as well as char- acteristics and vernacular of various sections of Germany. Dr. Hans Laas, associate professor of modern languages, serves as moderator of the club and contributes valuable information of interest to those eagerly trying to visualize that distant land they may some day visit. Guest speakers were invited to several assem- blies this year. Among those who furthered interest in the club was Karl Friederich, a native of Mainz, Germany. A first year exchange stu- dent, Karl gave members first hand information on present day Germany and its people. Hansel and Gretel rode on the Homecoming float entered by the club. With the witch and all her sorcery, they staged a vivid portrayal of the traditional tale for spectators viewing the passing parade. Officers of the club were elected in the fall to hold a two semester term. They were John Stew- art, president; Joe Carberry, vice-president; and Jim Gorman, secretary-treasurer. 152 n enclt GUlL Hector W. Rojas was president of the campus French club this year. His cabinet included Bill Carnazzo, vice-president; Ce- cile Goyette, secretary and Peter J. Gam- ache, treasurer. Dr. Aloysius A. Klammer, director of the department of modern languages, moderat- ed the organization which met monthly. For the past five years the club has been offering to French students and anyone in- terested in the language, the opportunity of better acquainting themselves with cus- toms, culture and the country itself. French is spoken to add an air of practicality to regular class room knowledge. Halloween meant cake and ice cream for members of the French club. They cele- brated with songs and festivities. Approximately 25 enfants constitute the membership. They were one of the three club sponsors of the Tri-Lang dance in the spring. 153 UantlU QLJ St. Thomas ' Theory of State offered members of the Thomist club material for discussion this year. Under the Rev. Francis J. Moriarty, S.J., director of the philosophy department, the club met bi-monthly in order to encourage a further interest in the philosophy of St. Thomas, their patron. Majors, minors and anyone with an interest in philosophy took part in the series of discussions. Delwyn Nagengast acted as chairman of the club at its informal meetings. Bar- bara Welsh served as secretary. In April members of the group went to St. Elizabeth ' s hospital in Lincoln, Neb. There they held a panel discussion on Im- morality of the Soul. John Bell, Jim Koley and Bob Webber led the discussion. 154 MoMf Jfall Mary hall, Inc., directs a home away from home for Creighton freshman coeds. The two-story, white frame house which is close to all the campus build- ings is more than just a dormitory to the girls who live there. The cheerful, airy rooms, accommodating two, three, or four girls, contain decker beds, desks, and book cases. The remodeled basement boasts a com- fortable study room, a tiled pleasant recreation room and a laundry room complete with automatic washer and dryer. As president of Marv hall. Inc.. Mrs. Charles W. Hamilton, Jr., dean of women, acts as general super- intendent of the dormitory. Residing at the house with the girls in her own efficiency apartment, is Mrs. Marie Brungardt, house mother. Rules and regulations for the residents of Mary hall are set by the girls themselves and approved by Mrs. Hamilton. A house committee elected by popular vote meets bi-monthly with the dean of women to see that the rules are observed, and to discuss problems of student council. Open house was held in October for Creighton faculty wives and again in December for homecom- ing alumni, faculty members and students who wished to inspect this new project, Creighton ' s first women ' s dormitory. Serving on the house committee for the first semester were: Irene Rozman, Carolu Neavins, Elaine McCauley, Muriel Mealy and Mary Jo Schneider. Members of the council for the second semester were: Joan Zegob, Rosemary Fitz- gerald, Elaine Vermeersch, Betty Jane Jel- lison and Rose Marie Jellison. XuidUu aU Dowling hall . . . home of Creigh- ton students from all over the country — all over the world. Dowling homes board- ers, upper classmen are in the majority, whose homes are in Honolulu, Singapore, the British Honduras, South Dakota, and all parts of western Nebraska. Members of the student board of gover- nors making their home in the hall are Jim Merriman, Jack Theisen and Tom Foye. One of the top teams on the Creighton de- bate squad, Tom Burns and Delwyn Nagen- gast, are also residents of Dowling. Dick Taylor, president of the Blue Peppers, and Leon Garcia, former first Lieutenant and veteran of the Korean war have also chosen the hall as their home while attend- ing classes on the Hill. Shedding the sports light on the hall is varsity basket ball player Joe Statz. Class officers who live in Dowling include Ken Stangel, Mike Beyhan, George Spruce and Buzzy Taylor. The hall also claims many sodality and fraternity officers. Proctors are Jim Merriman and Jack Duffy. The Rev. Philip T. Derrig, S.J., is faculty moderator of the hall. Another resident of Dowling is the man responsible for the pages you are now read- ing . . . the editor of the Blue Jay . . Jeremiah Murphy. 156 Wan cufi Jtall Wareham hall is the home of most fresh- men at Creighton from outside Omaha. From its corridors were selected two offi- cers of the freshman class. They were Leo Nieland, vice-president, and Jim McDonald, who resigned from his duties as treasurer to enroll at Loyola university in Los An- geles at the semester. Wareham is well represented in the or- ganizations upon the campus. Residents are members of the Pasteur club, band, glee club and the sodality. Ed Cole and Jerry Lucas have shown ability on the var- sity basketball team, while Merlyn 01k played on the B team. Harold Quinn, Ol- iver Prinz and Jim Buckley worked on the campus radio station, KOCU. The hall is kept orderly by an adminis- tration of four people. Ray Henry, Bob Conrad and Everett Jones were student proctors. Faculty moderator for the resi- dence is the Rev. N. J. Lemke, S.J. 157 Father Deglman, Student Counselor We ielL i ae ut Qod These are the first words of the Credo of Creigh- ton. The Creighton student knows that his univer- sity recognizes and acts according to this funda- mental truth — We beheve in God. Spiritual activities are an integral part of a Creighton education. Significan tly, the school year officially opens with the Mass of the Holy Ghost. This year the entire Catholic student body attended the Mass which was celebrated by the Most Rev. Gerald T. Bergan, Archbishop of Omaha. At Creighton spiritual activities are largely under the direction of the Rev. Francis Deglman, S.J., who this year completes his twentieth year as student counselor. Creighton students always find Father Deglman ' s door open and they meet a priest who is never too busy to give understanding counsel to educational or personal problems. Father is fac- ulty advisor of many of the university religious organizations. He is director of the Omaha Sodality union, the Creighton college, commerce, and pharm- acy sodalities, and of the Xavier Forutn. Father Deglman was instrumental in developing the week- end retreat program which has inet with great favor by Creighton students. His experience has given him the opportunity to travel with the Summer School of Catholic Action. 160 Sodality Union — Seated: Colleen Curran, Marilyn Curran, Fr.

Schula, Steve Price, James Koley, Delwyn J. Nagengast. Standing: Frank Frost, Fr. Lemke, Mike Printy, Charles Podrebarac, Father Deglman, moderator. The Sodality of the Immaculate Conception is the principal religious organization at Creighton university. The activities of all college sodalities in the archdiocese are co-ordinated by the Sodality union which is composed of representatives of the Creighton, Duchesne, and Saint Mary ' s Sodalities. The Sodality union sponsored the Catholic Students congress which was held on Sunday, March 9, in the university auditorium. On the general theme Christ Needs Us student speakers from the various col- lege sodalities discussed the need for Catholic ac- tion by college students to preserve our free Chris- tian society. After each series of three speeches students from Creighton, the Newman club of Ne- braska university and the other colleges participated in a lively open discussion. The Sodality union also sponsored the annual Marian Night ceremony which was held on May 11; it promoted the daily rosary for peace throughout the archdiocesean colleges. The officers of the Sodality union are: president, Robert Sprigg; vice-president, John Tripeny; treas- urer, William H. Schmitz; recording secretary, Bar- bara Ludwig and corresponding secretary, Ria Russell.

The Creighton college sodality is the largest and one of the most active of the university sodalities. The sodality coun- cil, the governing body of the arts sodality, meets each Monday night to discuss and work on sodality projects. This year for the first time the council sponsored a monthly get-together for all Creighton col- lege sodalities. The get-togethers were held in D7 and featured such guest speakers as Frs. Bowdern, Derrig, and Kanne. The council members also visited all religion classes in an effort to interest students in membership in the Apostleship of Prayer. A weekly news-bulletin, The Sodalite was edited by Robert J. Peterson with the aid of Marvin Molacek. A Christmas drive under the direction of Carroll Satterfield collected food and clothing for the needy of Omaha. The Sodality also promoted the Stations of the Cross (during Lent) and the daily rosary at St. Johns church. Members of the Arts Sodality also took part in the Sodality reception as ushers and participants in the Living Rosary. Sebas- tian Lee was named one of the outstanding speakers at the Catholic Students congress. Delwyn J. Nagengast served as prefect of the Arts Sodality for the year. 162 Commerce Sodality Counselors and Officers The Commerce Sodality is also active in Hilltop spiritual activities. Under Prefect John Winters the Sodality Council meets each Tuesday noon to promote spiritual activities in the College of Commerce. A regular monthly get-together was held for the Commerce Sodalists where the group heard such speakers as the Rev. Norbert Lemke, S.J., the Rev. Joseph D. Sheehan, S.J., and Dr. James A. Hart. Steve Price and John Winters lead the daily rosary at St. Johns Church. The Commerce Sodality conducted a fall drive for old clothes for the Indian missions of South Dakota and in spring they sponsored the collection of religious publications for the same mis- sions. Steve Price directed both projects. The Commerce Sodalists played an active part in both the Sodality reception and Catholic Students congress. 163 Standing: S. Lewis, J. Johnson, M. Feist, S.

The coed group, headed by Pre- fect Mary Ann Brunner, has a regular monthly meeting on the first Monday of each month and weekly sectional meetings for members and can- didates. Among the group ' s projects were the enrollment of the coeds in the Apostleship of Prayer, the caring for children at Children ' s Memorial hospital on several Saturdays, and a spring picnic for the youngsters from St. James orphanage. The coeds co-operated with the men ' s Sodality in the Christmas drive for the needy. On the social side the Creighton women sponsored a successful mid-semester mixer in the beanery. Much of the activity of the Women ' s Sodality is because of their moderator, the Rev. Thomas S. Bowdern, S.J. Active in Sodality work for many years. Father Bowdern has served o n the staff of Queen s Work and with the Summer School of Catholic Action. The most outstanding and important organ- ization for the St. Joseph ' s student nurses is the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin. Since its forma- tion in 1923, the sodality has had a rapid growth. This year the organization was under the guid- ance of the Rev. Francis M. Moriarity, S.J. The duties of office were performed by Nancy Grey, prefect; Patricia Thompson, vice-prefect, and Marilyn Wegner, secretary; Jo Ann Durflinger, treasurer. There were many highlights in the activities of this organization throughout the year. At Christmas the spotlight focused on St. Joseph ' s annual Christmas party. The student nurses, exemplifying the spirit of the sodality, brought the true meaning of Christmas to children who otherwise would not have felt the charitable hand of Christ. May brought the annual May Crowning of the Blessed Virgin. In tribute to Our Lady, the prefect laced a golden crown upon the Blessed Virgin, acknowledging her power and holiness. A procession composed of all the sodalists then followed. The entire program exemplified the sincere devotion of these student nurses to their heavenly Mother Mary. 164 St. Joseph ' s Sodality — Front row.

The moderator of the Sodality is the Rev. Francis M. Moriarity, S.J. The Sodality officers for the year were Patricia Poler, prefect; Mary Ellen Zimmerman, vice-prefect; Dorothy Busch, treasurer; and Carmelina Romeo, sec retary. Throughout the year the Sodalists brought Mary into their daily lives. At Christmas, the student nurses, not forgetting the earthly child- ren of Mary, collected toys and other presents for the children of St. James orphanage. Mindful also of Mary ' s needy, they collected food and clothing from which they assembled Christmas baskets, distributing them to the poor of Omaha. Every first Friday, in honor of Mary ' s Son, the Sodalists kept a nocturnal adoration from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., expressing once again their love for the Blessed Mother and her Son. The year was climaxed by the May Crowning. There the Sodalists of the Immaculate Concep- tion expressed their devotion to the great mother of God by crowning her. Queen of Heaven and Earth. After the coronation, a procession of the Sodalists passed through the hospital. Both Sodalities are striving for the same aim — a better understanding and appreciation of the Sodality and a greater love for Mary. In accom- plishing this, the Sodalists can perform their daily duties as nurses and daughters of the Blessed Mother, imitating her in their work among the sick. Through this supernatural view of life, gained from a fervent sodality life, the nurses comprehend a true concept of death and suffering, thus lessening their burdens in the future life.

Dental School Sodality Although most members are busy with profes- sional studies and wives and families, Charles Po- drebarac, James Huerter, and Eugene Stormberg guide one of the most active professional sodalities — that of the school of dentistry. Meetings which are held every Monday noon consist of a business meeting, prayers, a renewal of the consecration to the Blessed Virgin and an informal talk on var- ious religious subjects by moderator, the Rev. Philip T. Derrig, S.J. Every Wednesday morning Father Derrig says the weekly Mass for the sodalists at St. Johns church. Every first Friday there is a group Mass and Holy Communion. A Day of Recollection was held during Lent. It consisted of Mass, a group breakfast, three sessions dealing with religious sub- jects, and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. Through the efforts of the Sodality a religious section was installed in the dental school library. The principal address at the Marian Night cere- mony was delivered by senior, Robert H. Sprigg, who is also president of the Sodality union. 166 Medical Scltaal Sadalitif, Sunday morning, 9:15 Mass and Communion, Jesuit chapel, are familiar words to the medical school sodalists. The Rev. Vincent Decker, SJ., moderator of the sodality, conducts the services and gives sound practical spiritual guidance to the doctors of tomorrow. Throughout the year in his class on medical ethics, the Rev. Harry B. Crim- mins, S.J., regent of the school of medicine, in- structs the seniors in the proper moral conduct of their future practice. Leadership of the sodality is maintained by pre- fects William Schm itz, Robert Wallace, Loren Augustine, and Joseph Rooney. New members were inducted February 4 at the all-university Sodality reception in which the medical Sodalists participated by composing the fifth decade of the Living Ro- sary. On March 9 at the annual Catholic Students Congress medics engaged in the group discussions at the sessions. Daily at 12:30 p.m. in the classrooms sodalists meet for the recitation of the rosary. Such sodality activity helps these future M.D. ' s to be good Cath- olic doctors, instead of just doctors who happen to be Catholics. 167 Pharmacy Sodality — First row: Father Deglman, Moderator; John Tripeny, Prefect; Mr. Ferraro, C.

At the beginning of the year, the Pharmacists were in charge of a communion breakfast in honor of Sts. Cosmos and Damian, the patrons of pharmacy. Quarterly, the Sodality sponsors a communion breakfast for its members. A guest speaker is fea- tured at these breakfasts. At the weekly meetings there is a talk by the moderator, the Rev. Francis G. Deglman, S.J. In addition there is a guest speaker or a discussion on various spiritual subjects. The Sodality sponsors the daily rosary at the pharmacy school. Prefect John Tripeny oversees the Sodality ' s mission project of collecting drug samples from Omaha physicians, boxing them, and sending them to the Jesuit missions in British Hon- duras. Approximately one thousand pounds of drugs were sent to the missions this year. The group also collects old shoes and old clothing for the same missions. Early in the year the group sponsored a Holy Year tour. At the weekly meetings of the Law Sodality, the moderator, the Rev. Norbert Lemke, S.J., gave a series of talks on the moral aspects of a divorce case as it should be handled by a Catholic lawyer. The purpose was to give the future Catholic law- yer an understanding of his obligations to God in cases dealing with moral or religious problems. During the second semester Father Lemke dis- cussed the requisites of a good Sodalist and a good Sodality. The aim of this series was to give the law Sodalists, a bettei understanding of the world-wide Sodality movement. 168 The Xavier Forum Mission society has become a HiUtop tradition. The Rev. Francis Deglman, S.J., who has been moderator of the group for 18 years was also the co-founder 20 years ago. The chief function of the forum is prayer for the mis- sions. Each member chooses a day of the month to dedicate entirely to the missions. To foster more mission-mindedness the forum is host at each monthly meeting to speakers who have returned from the missions or who are prom- inent in Catholic Action. The annual Christmas letter was sent to mission- aries in many parts of the world. The letter is sent as a Christmas greeting to encourage the mission- aries and assure them of the forum ' s prayers. The members look forward to the annual banquet and the St. Columban ' s picnic. The Saint Columban Fathers are hosts to the forum each year on Ascen- sion Thursday. The day begins with a Solemn High Mass followed by breakfast. Then the Seminarians stand the forum members in the traditional base- ball tournament. Ad Deum, qui laetificat juventutum meam, are words very familiar to the acolytes of Creighton university. The acolytes serve at the Thursday and Friday Masses at St. John ' s Church and they assist at such important university functions as the Mass of the Holy Ghost and the all-university Sodality reception. 169 172 J — ..

Duce Bel- ford and Subby Salerno, three familiar faces on the Creighton athletic scene, are the men who formed the nucleus of the athletic department this past year. Father Shyne has been connected with Creighton since 1934. Four years after he came here he was made Faculty Regent of Athletics. In 1940 he be- came director of athletics, and after the war he as- sumed his present title of faculty moderator. Duce Belford has become even more of a tradition- al figure around Creighton. The likeable little head coach first came here in 1922 as a student and bas- ketball player. After graduating in 1925, he re- mained attached to the athletic department. From then on he served Creighton in several capacities until he finally took over as head basket- ball coach in 1945-46, Eddie Hickey succeeded him the next year, but after one season moved to St. Louis U. Duce then moved back to the head mentor spot, a post he has held since. Subby Salerno is putting in his third year on the Creighton coaching staff. He ' s another who has obtained all his sports background at Creighton. After a sparkling career at Prep, Subby moved up to the university for a four year tenure with the Bluejays. Upon graduating in 1949, he became freshman team coach. This year he tutored the Jaybees and helped Duce with the varsity.

Heyden and Lovelette battle for a loose ball. jaif.6. 3 nofi 7 4 ee a 1 4 044 n A fair start, a long iiiidseason sag, and then a late season spurt is an adequate description of the 1951- ' 52 Creighton varsity basketball season. In the season opener the Bluejays ran up against trouble in the form of a surprisingly strong Buena Vista team. Eddie Cole and Jerry Lucas, a pair of freshinan guards, provided the necessary spark as the Jays overtook the Beavers in the late stages to win, 61-55. On Dec. 5, the Hilltoppers went to Wichita and ran into a redhot Shocker teain. They were buried to the tune of 100-63. Bill Heyden, veteran center, stood out for the Jays as he scored 17 points. Before a Homecoming throng of 3,200 the Jays lost another to Iowa State. It was a cold first half that doomed the Creightons and they went down, 57-49. Three days later the Jays entertained Kansas U ' s Jayhawks and lost their third, 65-47. The Blues battled Clyde Lovelette and his crew all the way to the last quarter. But then Komasinski and Heyden went out on fouls, and that marked finis for the Jays. Joe Statz jumps and shoots against Iowa State. Tuttle fakes against a Cyclone and tosses one up. Iw-a Wit l cuid 7!4e a MuMtf. Hood Wvtk Ala jbeiouM Two wins in a row over two touring California teams brought the Blues back up to the .500 mark. Bill Heyden and Elton Tuttle led the Jays to a Dec. 14 win over a mediocre Fresno State team. The final tally was 54-45. Heyden dropped in 23 points and Tuttle made 12. In the last game before the Christmas vacation, the Jays edged a tall, highly touted Loyola team of Los Angeles. This time it was Captain Paul Gradoville ' s turn to shine. The little guard popped in 10 buckets for a final tally of 20. His best help came from Stretch and Ray Yost. Creighton ' s first opponent after the vacation was the powerful Phillips 66 ' ers. And it was another mark on the wrong side of the ledger, 66-42. Due to the outstanding play of Stretch Tuttle the Jays stayed in the game for 15 minutes. But then class told its tale. Then it was off on a four game road trip. And the first stop was at Detroit for a battle with Law- rence Tech. The Jays dropped a high scoring affair, 82-67. Ray Yost, towheaded forward, was the top Jay marksman with 17. Yost had another hot night when the Jays moved to Philadelphia for a match with Villanova. But the Wildcats had too much depth and won out. 79-61. Again it was a case of folding in the second half. For the Jays led by Yost, trailed by only four at intermission. Two days later the Jays gave powerful Seton Hall, a first half scare, but finally succumbed and lost, 60-44. Yost and Tuttle were top marksmen for Creigh- ton. Bones Dukes, All American center, was tops for the Pirates. On the way home, the Blues stopped off at Peoria, 111., and the A.A.U. Caterpillars proved to be poor hosts. Ron Bontemps, former Beloit star, stood out for the star studded Caterpillars as they whipped the Jays, 56-42. On Jan. 19, the Blue] ays went to Des Moines to play Drake in their last game before seinester exams. And they lost a one point squeaker, 49-48. Two free throws by Guss Ollrich, Bulldog for- ward, spoiled a brilliant second half comeback by the Jays. After trailing 28-19 at the half, the Jays rallied and went ahead until Ollrich ' s fatal free throws. 176 Whit: ' li( a(l (hops one for the Oilers and Jay lead vanishe.. The hall proves to be elusive for Heyden and Thomas. Hey, fellows! Tuttle ' s got the ball. What do you think you ' re doing, Heyden? 177 Tuttle and a Fresno State man are all tied up. After a brief vacation for semester exams, the Jays returned to court warfare on Feb. 1, when thev renewed relations with Omaha U., their traditional rival. The Jays could do no wrong in the first half as they piled up a 32-13 lead. But then the Indians went into an all floor press and at the finish were crowding the Jays, 58-47. The following weekend saw Wichita ' s Shockers take a doubleheader from the Jays in Omaha. It was Cleo Littleton, Wichita forward, who did the damage almost singlehandedly. He stole the ball in the last minute of the first game and made a layup to give Wichita a 63-62 win. The next night it looked as if the Jays might get revenge as they piled up a 39-25 halftime lead. But then Littleton broke loose. He scored 28 points in the second half to give the Shockers a 66-63 win. A few days later the Jays lost another heartbreak- er, this time to Iowa State ' s Cyclones, 59-58. After dissipating a first half lead, the Blues were forced to go into overtime, and could not rally their rid- dled forces. Quit crowding, or I ' ll sock you one. 178 That ' s as far as youre going, Cole. The Jays then went on to play three powerful foes in four days and lost to all of them. The first loss was to Oklahoma City U. ' s power- ful Chiefs. The Jays, befuddled by the tall, de- fensive wonders, were never in the game as they lost by a 65-44 count. Ray Yost with 15 points was the only effective Creighton. The next night the Jays played Beloit College ' s Buccaneers in the first game between the two schools and lost 53-51. Gradoville paced Creighton with 18 points. Marquetter, national Catholic champ, was the next foe, and the Hilltoppers took the measure of the Blues, 55-45. Heyden was tops for Creighton with 13 points. Back at home again, the weary Jays played the part of gracious hosts as they entertained Drake ' s Bulldogs. The Bulldogs were hitting from all angles as they piled up a 67-53 win. Gus Ollrich was the main vandal as he dropped in 20 points, mostly on long shots. On Feb. 28, the Belfordmen went to Oklahoma City for a return engagement with the Chiefs and the result was little different from the first game. The Jays paced by Tuttle and Heyden held on for the first half, but then the roof fell in and the Chiefs had a 61-46 decision. Omaha ' s Indians came over to the Hill for a second game on March 1. And it was the Indians who got scalped. The Jays toma- hawked them to the tune of 90-40. The Blues hit on high gear as they executed the bloody massacre. Ray Yost went home with the most scalps tied to his belt. He tallied 24 points. Tuttle and Heyden scored 18 each. Two days later it was a highly touted Gustavus Adolphus team that fell before the late season Creighton onslaught. Led by Bill Heyden, the Jays had things pretty much their own way throughout as they piled up a 67-52 victory. In the season finale, the Jays set a school scoring mark as they trampled the completely outclassed Rapid City AFB Flyers, 94-54. Bill Heyden tallied 23 markers to bring his season ' s mark to 309 points. Bill Heyden Stretch Tuttle Ray Yost Paul Giadoville One side, while I take a shot. Dave Pedersen 180 C ei f,lit i4 aif Leel Jiaaz Medico e S-S Seaian Creighton ' s Jaybees operating in place of the regular freshman team finished their season with a mediocre won and lost record of 8-8. The Jaybees, coached by the able Subby Salerno, were composed of sophomores, freshmen and trans- fers. Despite their .500 record, the Jaybees did pro- duce five boys who will certainly be contenders for varsity positions next year. They are Don Loisel, Jack Peterson, Frank GoUon, Don Pedersen and Jack Brewer. It was Gollon and Loisel who sparked the Bees to six wins in their first eight games before they hit a late season slump. The Jaybees opened their season with a lopsided 53-33 win over Commercial Extension. In their next game they trampled over a team from Fort Omaha, 57-21. K-B Ice Cream, Clarinda Jr. College and the Council BluflFs Mooses then fell in order. The scores were 45-24, 40-26, and 52-26. The first Jaybee loss came at the hands of Cedar Rapids, 42-38. Then came the first of two lickings by Drake ' s B team, 57-35. A 50-39 win over Dana preceded two more losses. The losses were a 42-41 heartbreaker to Omaha U. ' s Papooses and a 70-45 trouncing by the Wishbone Inn. The next two games were wins for the Jaybees, 61-46 over the Hastings Marines, and 73-33 over Dana B. The Jays then proceeded to drop their last four games, 65-45 to Drake, 64-49 to Omaha U., 43-34 to the Pre-Molars, an intramural team, and 53-52 to the Lincoln Legionnaires. Plat in MicUa it fL4 Jio-ap, One of the features of the 1951- ' 52 Creighton athletic program was the improvement made in the baseball situation. Although this had to be written before the open- ing game, the Bluejays were no doubt headed toward their most successful season in the diamond sport. For the first time the Jays played in a league. They are members of the newly formed five team Midwestern league. Other members are Dana of Blair, Concordia of Seward, Midland of Fremont, and Nebraska Wesleyan of Lincoln. The league schedule consists of a double round robin. Subby Salerno, diamond coach, was looking for- ward to his third year as baseball mentor. Presea- son prospects were the best in his three years at the helm. Most of the men responsible for last year ' s 8-1 record are still around. Notable losses are Ick Mil- ler, first baseman, Jack Robbins, pitcher, Jerry Ryan, second base, and Chuck Swoboda, catcher. The first two weeks of practice indicated that Salerno wouldn ' t have too much trouble finding replacements. Seven returnees form nucleus for ' 52 team. Last year ' s heavy hitting outfield is back intact. The trio consists of Jack McGraw, Jerry Manacuso and Jim Knowles. Infield vets are Ed Benak at third and Paul Grado- ville at short. Bill Tighe, two year utility man, appeared destined to take over at second. On the mound, top prospect is Dave Pedersen, winner of three games last year. Don Cimpl, relief hurler, is the only other experienced pitcher. Besides the eight league games, the Blues were also scheduled to meet Omaha L ' . twice and Offutt Air base twice.

Another highlight of the Creighton athletic setup this year was the intramural program and the inter- est in it. In the fall, Hilltop students were given an oppor- tunity to participate in both organized touch foot- ball and basketball tournaments. In touch football, two separate double elimina- tion tournaments were staged, the Interfrat and the Independent. After two months of play, Delta Sigma Pi, com- merce frat, finally emerged as champions of the Interfrat league. They knocked oflf Delta Theta Phi, their stubborn rivals from law school, in the championship tilt, 6-0. The two had played two scoreless ties in the earlier stages of the tourney. Some of the top performers for the Delta Sigs were Jack McGraw, Tom Begley, Vince Finocchiaro and Gene Corcoran. Other frats participating in the tourney were Phi Chi, Phi Alpha Delta, Xi Psi Phi, Phi Fxho Sigma, Delta Sigma Delta and Phi Beta Pi. Champs of the Independent playoffs were the powerful Rockets. They bumped the Pre-Molars, 12-6, in the final game to top the six team field. The Pre-Molars had bumped the Heartbreakers, last year ' s champs, to go into the finals. The other three teams in the tourney were the Weird Ones, the Jokers, and the Weird Fellows. At the same time as they were being pushed out of the picture in football, the well balanced Heart- breakers were busy wrapping up the preseason bas- ketball championship. Four straight opponents were beaten as the Heart- breakers bounced merrily on their championship trail. They met the Bootleggers in the finale and won 35-12. Fourteen teams were entered in the tournament. wk Ki« «| T ' ' 1 ■ 1 El H ■ 1 BR ■ Matt McGrath 183 The Heartbreakers won the pre-season basketball tourney. Delta Sigma Pi, Interfrat touch football champs 184 Phi Rho Sigma finishes Interfrat season with 11-1 record. Interest was higher than ever in the winter intra- mural basketball leagues as all Creighton male students were given a chance to participate. Four separate leagues were going in the winter program. They were the Interfrat, the National, the American, and the All Star league. And in each of them there was a wire finish for the champion- ship. Feature of the winter program was the post sea- son tournament for the All-University champion- ship. The top two teams of each league took part in the single elimination tourney. Most interesting of the leagues was the Interfrat in which twelve Hilltop frats had entries. After the firing was over a two way tie for the top laurels existed between Phi Rho Sigma, med frat, and Xi Psi Phi, dental frat. Each won 10 of 11 games and qualified for the tournament. A playoff between the two was planned for after Easter. Phi Sigma Chi, pharmacy frat, finished third. The pharmacists, paced by Bob Smith, had a 7-3 record. The other nine teams in the order in which they finished were : Alpha Phi Omega, Delta Sigma Delta. Delta Theta Phi, Phi Alpha Delta, Delta Sigma Pi. Phi Beta Pi, Phi Epsilon, Phi Chi and Phalanx. 185 The Pre-Molars, ultimate University champs, took the American league laurels, in another photo finish. They beat out the Heartbreakers, their chief rivals, in the last regular game. The Molars finished with five wins and no losses. The Heartbreakers had a 4-1 record. Both qualified for the post season tourney. The Fixers and the Fighting Irish were tied for the third spot with 2-3 records. Following them were the Deacons and CUPA. Both could win only one of five games. In the National league it was the Cell Mates, paced by Bud Valker and Lee McNamara, who nailed down top honors. They went through five games without tasting defeat. Right behind in the second spot was the Fire- house Five led by Bill Carlisle, league leading scorer. Their only loss was to the Cell Mates. The Cueballs won three games to hold down third place. The Thirsty Five, the Rockets and the Horsemen all trailed with 1-4 records.

They were the 49 ' ers who fought their way to five straight wins. It was Lou Grasso who paced the uphill 49 ' er struggle. Tied for the second spot were the B-B Shots and the Yearlings. In a playoff to see who went into the tournament the Yearlings won out, 27-26. The Pillpushers were fourth with two wins, and the Cellar Dwellars and Dimwits brought up the rear. It was the Pre-Molars who won out in the eight team post season tournament. They edged the Heartbreakers, 34-33, to succeed Phi Sigma Chi as All-University champion. In first round games, the Molars bumped the Yearlings, 39-33. the Heartbreakers trimmed th 49 ' ers, 32-22, the Cell Mates ran over Xi Psi Phi, 58-18, and the Firehouse Five claimed a forfeit from Phi Rho Sigma.

The queen Avas crowned by Robert Muldoon, president of the student board of governors. Pre-dance activities consisted of a parade of floats and cars through the business district in which the candidates rode in convertibles. The dance signified the beginning of many social affairs at which the Homecoming queen would be guest. First of these was the alumni dinner-dance at the Fontenelle hotel.
