Hfnri Rknard, S.J., Ph.D. Because of Father Henri Renard ' s great service to this university and student body, we are dedicating this annual to him. Practically all C. U. students have used one or more of his textbooks at some time or other. He is held in high repute by all philosophers and is one ol the outstanding Thomists in this country. If the students on the Hill were to select their favorite professor, it is very likely that their choice would be Father Renard. He takes a deep interest in each and everyone of his students and is always willing to counsel anyone both in spiritual and temporal affairs. Per- haps one of Father ' s greatest assets is that he is the living embodiment of all that he teaches. Thus, we of the BLUE JAY are proud to dedicate this book to a very deserving Jesuit, Father Henri Renard. - ' The Creighton University i«j c a r I M R e I n e r t S.

Rarely has one man been faced with more seemingly insurmountable obstacles and then hurled them to the lour winds. In addition to heading Creighton ' s Public Relations stall, this padre annually travels thousands ot miles speaking to old friends and alumni interesting them and others in the present Creighton and the new Creighton of the future. Nonetheless, his hands guide the fund-raising, developmental, building, operating, and endowment programs. For this and many others we of the BLUE JAY offer congratulations on a job well done. Rev.

However, in Creighton College this theme is well founded and ever enforced by the friendly and efficient Dean Father William Kelley. Always willing and able to pass a triple cut or a re-admit card over his desk is Father L. F. Jansen, the assistant dean. Through the halls of Creighton College pass the 4.0 ' s and the 1.9 ' s, the freshmen eager tor orientation, the sophomores who know the run of the campus, the juniors who wish they were seniors, and the seniors both sorry and glad they ' ve made the grade. All classes partici- pate in the college ' s activities — KOCU, Creigh- ton Players, Blue Jay, Creightonian. Many of these students will go on to medicine, dentistry, law — others to business; yet all will carry and cherish the ideals and spirit which Creighton has instilled in their hearts.

From economics to income tax, these future business men are willing to finance any and all expedient adventures. Here under the guiding tutelage of Dean Floyd E. Walsh, the students are prepared to meet realistically a materialistic world which plays no favorites. However, the business principles alone do not con- tain the contributions of the commerce school to its students. Here also, the student gains that immaterial spirit of fairplay which marks a business man as ethical in a rather unethical world. Floyd E. Walsh Ph.D., Dean Rev.

In the horror tilled walls of the dental clinic, Creigh- ton ' s future dentists under the most capable supervis- ion are performing tasks to benefit mankind. Yet at times, mankind is exceedingly ungrateful. Many hard years ot study go into the title D.D.S., but how many of us fail to appreciate this? Under Dean Lynch and Father Stumpf, top flight students are picked and prepared for a lifetime of service to their communi- ties. Rigorous as the pre-dental training and the pro- fessional courses of anatomy and bacteriology are, the happy result is long anticipated. Benjamin L. Lynch BIS.D., D.D.S., A.M., M.S.D.

Paul Gregg S.J., Regent ' Your Honor, we find this man . . . This phrase is frequently heard in the moot court of Creighton School of Law. Each year many young men apply to Law School dreaming of the day when they will enter the legal profession. Here they will learn the meaning of tort, misde- meanor, and if they do not know, an ample library of some 40,000 volumes holds the an- swers. Here these young men are also taught the ethics necessary for a full and understand- ing practice of law. Needless to say, the Student Bar Association offers the aspirant an ideal model of the perfect lawyer. Unending hours of research and practical experience in the Legal Aid Clinic are absolutely indispensable in the lawyer ' s education. This clinic turns out some of Nebraska ' s finest lawyers the alert mind of the physician . . . Frederick G. Gillick M.I).. Dean Dr. Charles Wilhelmj Professor of Physiology Science, arts, intelligence, and more science are the theme ol Creighton ' s pre-med and in particular, Creighton ' s school of Medicine. In those hallowed halls Doctor Frederick Gillick, Dean, Doctor Richard L. Egan, Assistant Dean, and Father John Foley, Regent, carefully screen the would-be students of Medi- cine. Through its clinic hundreds are given the best of free medical care. The student health service is run under the aus- pices ol the clinic. Here the sick, injured, and those cutting classes are cured in one form or another. Yet, the reason lor the existence of the medical school is well fulfilled. From its labs and classes each June pass not only men competent in the medical field which they have chosen as a career but also men with character based upon sound moral, ethical, and religious princi- ples.

Here in conjunction with the Medical Clinic, the pharmacy student is given the opportunity to practice that which he is taught. Pharmacy is the only professional school not requiring undergraduate work. However, the student is thoroughly familiarized with anatomy, pharmacol- ogy, chemistry, and physiology. Nevertheless, these hard workers have an annual fling, visiting outstand ing pharmaceutical companies in the East. William A. Jarrell IMiarm. D., B.S., Dean Rev. John J.

Anne Verret 1 The St. Catherine ' s nurses, alter naving spent a long torturous year at Creighton, spend three years at the hospital learning the line points of nursing under Sister Mary Kevin, R.S.M. Their education is a well-rounded program ot scientific, cultural, religious, and social training. Many Creighton fellows tint! that these nurses are good date material. Rarely is there a Creighton dance in which one or more candidates are not from St. Catherine ' s. From their midst this year came the ROTC ' s Honorary Colonel. One ot the principal organizations at St. Catherine ' s is the student council which organizes the nurses so that friendship, higher professional standards, and social functions prevail. The climax of this education is graduation, and after the state hoard examinations their R.N. Sister Mary Kevin R.S.M. . R.N., A.M.

For some reason the nurse seems to have that quality gained from caring lor the sick which appeals to men. The nurses have many social programs such as mixers, frosh capping, the big sister party, and climaxing with the Sweetheart Ball in Febraury. Sister Mary Louis, O.S.F., is the supervisor of the nurses. Some of the tribula- tions in the life of the nurses are the split shifts, the PM ' s, and the emergency calls at four in the morning. In spite of all this work the nurses carry a well- rounded educational program. They are taught religion, philosophy, the sciences, and the practical aspects of medicine. The midnight oils are often burnt in cramming for comps, but at long last we are R.N. ' s. Student Council: Rebecca Sheldon. Jo Gurney. Blondina Schmidt, Mary Ann Harmsen, Eleanor Lynch. Sally Green Research, research, and more research. While Father Henry Casper enjoys a brief leave of absence, Dr. Raymond Nielson has assumed the reins ot the graduate school. Each year more and more students come to haunt the realms which the graduate school otters. The gradu- ate school endeavors to extend and enlarge the world of undergraduate depart- ments by ottering the qualified students the opportunity to pursue advanced courses and engage in specialization and research.

Acting Dean of the Graduate Sclioo the board of Howard Igel and Jean Thirtle Frank Hogan and John Knudsen The Board of Governors serves as Creighton ' s senatorial body, for they are the representatives of the student body and yet are subject to the veto power of Father Reiner t. A few of this year ' s activities in- cluded Homecoming, Community Chest Drive, the Student Onion Building Fund, Kennelh Kunce and Miles Vana student governors James Monahan and William Holthaus, Pres. Paul Rauth and William Kennedy Agnew Loan Fund, early publication of the student handbook and directory, Junio. - Senior Prom, etc. The Board with Bill Holthaus as president and Father Miller as moderator has been one of the most active boards ever assembled at Creighton. John Duffy and Frank Brau Student Union by ' 60! Vote here! were the cries heard on the campus during the month of Janu- ary. With the promise of Father Reinert to match every dollar the students raised, one thousand ninety- nine students voted and approved the proposal of each one giving five dollars at second semester regis- tration to be placed in the Student Union Building Fund. Because of this generosity the Student Union became a reality, for the Union is now assured of an annual , income — approximately eight thousand five hundred dollars. When the successful basketball campaign of ' 53-54 came to a climax, eve. one held dim views of the up- coming season. The only bit of encouragement was that Eddie Cole — the unorthodox kid from Turtle Creek — was returning. However, when tryouts were held in the fall, praises were being sung for Bob Gibson, a native of Omaha Tech. Bob is a negro and was the first of his race to don the Blue and White of the varsity. After the first game was a matter of history, everyone knew that these praises were justi- fied. A great floor man, a dead-eye with that ram- rod jump shot of his, and a great rebounder — yes, that is Bob Gibson (and only a sophomore) . Keep it up, Bob; we ' ll be hearing much more about you. No doubt he could be one of Creighton ' s greatest, if not the greatest. Homecoming! Parade! Hall decorations! Rally! Bonfire! Push Ball! Game! Dance! Yes, Creighton surprisingly came to life during the week of Decem- ber tenth. Everyone pitched in. Floats were construct- ed in various places — basement of Dowling Hall, garages, the wideopen spaces. The members of the halls were battling it out for the first prize in the hall decorating contest (Noonan Hall triumphed) . Professors were as much aware of homecoming as were the students, for the nodding of heads was even more prominent during this week. But prof, I got to bed at eight o ' clock — eight o ' clock this morn- ing, that is. The administration was in a generous mood, and December eighth was declared a total holi- day; the tenth was free from noon on. The parade was a gigantic spectacle and represented much effort and time. After the parade the students gathered in the stadium for the championship battle of the intra- mural football teams. However, the main point of interest turned out to be the pushball contest between Theta Upsilon and Theta Phi Alpha. This bone- crushing, bruising, hairpulling contest kept the crowd a roaring. At sunset a giant bonfire was built and homecoming candidates were introduced. At seven- thirty the gym was filled with cheering Blue Jays. The game was nip and tuck all the way, but Wyoming ' s Cowboys were a little too much for the young Creigh- ton team. Immediately after the court tussle everyone went to Peony Park to dance to the music of Eddie Haddad and orchestra. Patty Friel was crowned Homecoming Queen. Thus, a fun-packed, eventful homecoming disappeared into the annals of history. Nineteen hundred fifty-four, though not the year of great events, will long be remembered by Creighton- ites. November saw the papers report a major politi- cal victory for the Democrats, but Creighton ' s own Doctor James Hart was unable to climb aboard the bandwagon. Through the winter the tenseness of the Russian instigated cold war continued, but everyone was learning to live with it. Eighteen and nineteen year olds were unburdened by lightened draft quotas causing the student body as a whole to become natural again with younger, more spirited freshmen and sophomores. Nineteen hundred fifty-four - fifty-five thus be- came the year of great and small events — events that, though lacking outstanding importance, made C.U. a happier and greater place from which each one of s garner our piesent preparations for a future life. , 11 was not happiness for Creightonians though. Just when life had settled down from the excitement of the beginning term, the hand of God reached into the ranks of the Jesuits and took home the soul of the Rev. Charles Haydcn. Father was the head of the physics department from 1937 to this death. Many joyous moments were had by the students because of Father ' s antics as a magician. He was quite an adept magician and enjoyed local prominence as an after-dinner speaker. All of those who even had him as a professor will always think highly of him. His sense of humor made each and every one of his physics classes pass a little faster. Many will remember this punch line — George, please be careful where you pour that lead. Creighton lost a professor; heaven gained a Saint. These were four of the biggest events of the year, and now as another term comes to a close, we, the staff, are hoping that you have had a successful year; and may God bless you, and you, and especially you! in memonam Rev.

Our Yearbook Queen and her two attendants, however, were selected by the famous bandleader Ralph Flanagan. When Ralph Flanagan played at Peony Park, January 30, he was pre- sented with a picture of each of the ten candidates for Yearbook Queen. The candidates were from Arts, Commerce, and the two schools of nursing. Flanagan was asked to pick the three girls he thought best personified the beauty that a college co-ed should possess. He then specified the ones he judged to be best qualified for this honor. Finally he chose the Queen and placed the other two girls as her first and second attendants. As can be seen from Flanagan ' s selections, all Creighton can be justly proud of the beauty of its co-eds; and all will agree, that in our YearbooV Queen, we have a ruler who is truly regal and lovely. ♦ miss coleen casserly blue jay queen miss helen hall 2nd place miss patty burns 3rd place miss patty f riel homecoming queen rose of delta sig betty hickman queen of hearts julie doyle helen of troy helen hall colonel jim heaton honorary colonel theresa hoffman king creighton xxxi owen neary queen creighton xxxi cathy laplante Walter Matejka William Cronin Merlyn Oik Howard Poepsel John Krager Patrick Achat princes s e John F.

Alter graduating from Prep in 1945, he continued his sports prowess on the Hilltop by starring in basketball for C. U. In the fall of 1949 he took over as freshman coach, and in 1953 he assumed his present position as head basketball coach. A Creighton man all the way, Subby has advanced stead- ily, and we look lor him to keep rising. The Creighton Athletic Director is f. V. Duce Belford. In his thirty years at Creighton Duce has become a familiar figure on the campus. Duce stepped up to the post of athletic director two years ago, and has taken it upon himself to see that Creighton sched- ules more of the bigger schools throughout the coun- try. During his years as head basketball and baseball coach at Creighton, and also as a scout for the Brook- lyn Dodgers, Duce has made many contacts, which is a boon to him in his present position. The Rev. Norbert J. Lemke, S. (., this year took over the role of Faculty Moderator of athletics, replacing Rev. David A. Shyne, S. [., w ho had held the position lor 16 years. Father Lemke stepped right in and took over where Father Shyne left off. This is Father Lemke ' s 5th year at Creighton, and in these years he has gained many friends both on and oil the campus. It is Father Lemke ' s duty to act as a go- between with the faculty and the athletic department, and he has done an excellent job this past year.

This graduation-blitzed squad, dominated by freshmen and sopho- mores, played fine ball at times. But as it often is with young teams, they could not keep a consistent pace. Coach Subby Salerno built his team this year around Eddie Cole, the only returning regular. Eddie performed his job brilliantly, pour- ing in 448 points in 19 games, an average of 23.5 per game. Not only did he remain among the season ' s scoring leaders throughout the cam- paign, but he also broke the all-time Creighton scoring record held by Elton Stretch Tuttle at 1303 points. The Pennsylvania sharpshoot- er ' s career total rose to 1443 points before he hung up his number 43 for the last time. Cole ' s chief helper was jumping-jack sophomore Bob Gibson, who showed All-America potential with his outstanding all around play. He sunk 395 points for a 20.6 average. Bob was a topnotch rebounder de- spite his 64 stature, which is small in comparison to some of the tow- ering athletes who roam the nation ' s basketball courts. Freshman center Bob O ' Dell ranked third among Bluejay scorers this year with 225 points and an average of 12.5. Other players who saw regular action were sophomores Dan Simon. (den Sullivan, and Gerry Spethman, freshmen Charles Forberg and Doug Klanderud, and Senior Hugh Manhart.

Cole was torrid in the first half, sinking 18 markers and leading the Hilltoppers to a 39- 35 margin. An ankle injury in the second stanza slowed him, and the taller and more experi- enced Wyomings pulled out a close one. We ' ll have none of that, Bob. i Dan Simon Creighton South Dakota 84 76 Creighton ' s second victory of the season came the following week against South Dakota, 84- 16.

Burke University Purchasing Agent No matter how hard the members of a yearbook staff work, it is impossible to put out a yearbook with- out the constant help and encouragement of a group of advisors, who untangle the seemingly insurmount- able difficulties and set the yearbook back on its course. We of the staff had our financial problems, and the man we went to see to end them was Robert Burke. No matter what crisis developed it seems that it had also happened once before, and Mr. Burke re- membered how to solve it. If we needed help on ideas or just plain encouragement, Harry Dolphin always was around. Need a picture of some past event just ask Harry. So it was with all the members of the News Bureau and the Public Relations staff. Here ' s a vote of thanks on behalf of all the members of the staff. Rev. R. C.

A progressive university such as Creighton is fast to utilize any new means of spreading knowl- edge. With men like Fr. Williams and Frank McCann behind the scenes, Creighton has forged ahead in the world of television. Creighton par- ticipates in two television shows in Omaha, Doors of Knowledge and To Your Health over WOW-TV, and one program over KLON TV in Lincoln, Capsules of Knowledge . Through this media the public is made aware of the continuous advance of knowledge both in the sciences and the liberal arts at this univer- sity.

One of the few times that the two better halves of the campus can get together is on this page of the annual. The Coed Club, which numbers among its members every full time girl in Arts, is one of the active organizations which lends its whole-hearted support to any of the projects which face the student body. Under the leadership of Jean Thirtle, the Coeds reached new heights this year. The Commerce Coeds although few in number have a dominant influence on the Com- merce School which is predominantly male. Throughout the year the girls of both clubs sponsor numerous activities such as mixers in the band box, picnics, and annual teas. As the number of women at C. U. gradually grows, so does the number in these two clubs. commerce coeds SEATED ON FLOOR: Irene Berning. Betty Hickman, Irene Roznian. SEATED: Jo Ann Lehnon.

The French, German, and Spanish Clubs formed the Tri-Lang. The professors of the modern language department act as moderators for the group. The head man is Jim Farber who is ably assisted by Bill Harker, Tim Moore, Arlene Lampe, Maurice Coleman, Ernest Divis, and Ronald Chocolaad. An unusually large number of students showe d interest in the language club reviving the spirit of old years. A number of speakers addressed the club during the year. Among the speakers were Fr. Williams, who spoke about UNESCO; Fr. Dougherty, who ' told about his experiences at the Spanish seminary in New Mexico; Dr. Wilhelm Reisege, a school teacher from Germany who spoke about teaching English in Germany. The Tri-Lang abounds with activities. In February they gave the Heart Beat, a valentine party; in spring they held their annual picnic. One oFthe events which was aimed at illustrating the different customs of Europe and ac- quainting the students with them was a musical featuring songs from various lands. There ' s no doubt that Tri-Lang is a great organization enjoyed by all. europe here we come Dr. William Reisege stresses a point while lecturing to the Tri-lang. parlevous francais SEATED: Rosemary Ccnovich, l ' at Erie!, Sharon Palladino, Janice Wurth, Regina Branncn, Mary Ann Bertich.

Conway, have blazed many a path this year. A large group has shown interest in debating, and as a result, in the future Creighton will have well prepared teams. This year the first team went to Denver to attend the Denver University Invitational Debate Tournament. They also participated in the debates at the University of Nebraska and Omaha. In March, the team traveled to Madison, Wisconsin tor the Delta Sigma Rho tournament. All mem- bers of the club have an opportunity to debate in Omaha. Debating this year has been exceptional, and Fr. Conway ' s coaching his members in the finer points of debating has certainly paid off. The Creighton Orotarical Association — the fancy name — the Jay Talkers, make the name of Creighton well known in the speaking world. In the future, look for great things from this group. student union At long last, a dream is about to come true — the Student Union. Just before the second semester, the student body voted to add five dollars to the tuition so that in 1956 work might be started on the Student Union Building. By I960, we will have one of the finest unions in the Midwest. As always, the members of the group have worked tirelessly to de- vise ways to increase the meager fund. Early in the school year, the Student Union held the annual Student Union Ball which was a success both finan- cially and socially. Monthly meetings are led by Grover Smith who with the advisory committee channels some of the wdd ideas into working projects. A rous- ing hand for the idealists of the campus. crei-vets ■■fs$fcy KNEELING: Fete Wilber, Pat Hinchey. Reicl Von Tersh, Cyril Wieseler, I ' at Forestal.

The Vets are special friends of the Student Union. It was through their unceasing efforts that the Student Union Ball was a success. The Crei-Vets hounded the men in the beanery, and you had to buy a ticket from one of these indomitable salesemen.

The spokesmen tor the freshman class at large is the Frosh Conclave. It num- bers some twenty-tive members which includes the respective officers of the vari- ous schools. This organization is one ot the tew which is sure to meet every week. For come rain or shine, Father Jansen will have Orientation. The members of the conclave collect attendance cards and participate in the weekly discussions. The primary purpose of the conclave is to promote good will for Creighton. Members are encouraged to bring their friends to Creighton. In fact, the Con- clave is a virtual student recruiting agency; for during the holidays many of the members return to their high schools and tell prospective students about Creigh- ton. During the year, the Conclave has a dance for the seniors of the city ' s high schools, the Hi-C dance. They also build a float for the Homecoming parade and hold the Freshman picnic. Hard-working, school-spirited, these are terms char- acterizing the Conclave members. Definitely an example for the rest of the school, the Conclave is truly a group which fulfills its purpose. Hats off to the people with the most school spirit. creighton players TOP: Tom Mack, Bill Vernon. Martin Joy.

This mighty organization otters two piays each year, a dramatic vehicle in the fall and a musical in the spring. Monthly meetings are held at which the players hash over their feelings on dramatic technique. Dean Graunke presides and otters helpful suggestions. The club is open to all who are interested in dramatics whether it be in the field of acting as such, in directing, or in stage work. The competition for parts is keen among the members since with key roles go points toward membership in the National Dramatic Group, Alpha Psi Omega. Papa Is All , the fall play, was a smashing success as plays go. Hard work paid oft in dramatic laurels for many. The spring musical, Finian ' s Rainbow was held in April. It combined the talents of many of the Creighton students. Actors singers, dancers, and musicians joined forces. During the year the Players hold parties where skits are presented. This year they also presented two student pro- ductions entirely run by the players themselves. In May the group holds their annual bancjuet at which awards for the best performances of the year are pre- sented. BACK: Janet Strcxk. Connie Kostel, Louise Morlock, Betty Sheehan, Carol Wimsatt.

This shift in rule had ef- fects at Creighton. There was renewed interest in the two clubs devoted to politics. The Democrats rallied as usual behind Jim Hart for congress. They distrib- uted campaign literature, stopped students and cor- ralled their votes, phoned constituents, and did every- thing possible to try to make the voter switch from the elephant to the donkey. But in the end when all the votes had been counted, Hart was barely nosed out by Judge Chase. The Democrats at least had one consolation; it was the best Year for Democrats in Nebraska in a long time. So back to the Moot court they retreat and start planning for the 1956 presiden- tial campaign. The Republicans strive to keep in pow- er as usual. With Tom Dorwart wielding the gavel, the meetings come to order. The Republicans are a varied sort at Creighton, conservatives and the right- ists; but on one point they stick together. Democrats in power spell doom for the country ' s economy, and the Democrats are a menace to the campus. The club has regular meetings where they strive to see that young people are informed about current political happenings. They are affiliated with Young Republi- cans ' National Federation. At the end of the year, the two organizations come together. That is, they both land on the same page in the annual young republicans FRON ' I : Hugh Sweeney.

They sponsor bowling teams, some of the best you can be sure. They also have baseball and tennis teams. This is one of the clubs which retains a good strong membership every year. They hold a number of activities each month; a special event is the Thanksgiving dinner which the President of the University attends. As you can see the members can usually be spotted by their gay colored shirts. A strong asset to the campus are these strangers from across the sea. girls drill team One of the new organizations on the campus is the girls ' drill team. These girls can tell their left foot from their right. Each Thursday the girls meet in the gym and rehearse their movements. One of the sergeants on the military staff directs them.

The Student Bar is one of the most active and popular and above all successful organizations on the campus. The group organized in 1950 has steadily grown in popularity. In 1953 the American Law Student Association ranked the Student Bar at Creighton as number one in the nation. In 1954 the Student Bar was ranked second. While other organizations strive lor simplicity, the Student Bar is one of the most complicated but nevertheless one ot the most efficient groups on the hill top. The Student Bar publishes a paper devoted to law problems, As- sault and Flattery. Professor Winsor Moore is the faculty moderator and su- preme justice of Creighton ' s Bar. Don Bell presides over the weekly meetings. Each member of the Student Bar is issued a membership in the Nebraska State Bar Association. Each year the Student Bar brings some new national honors to Creighton. More and more is the name of The Creighton Law School becoming known due to the energetic work of the members of the C. U. Bar.

Such is not the case. A long list of names was submitted to the Deans of Men and Women, who were charged with the final selections. Since this is a new section in the Blue Jay, a set of rules were drawn up to gov- ern future selections: Subject: Pace-Setters 1 . Each year the BLUE JAY honors a select group of Juniors and Seniors who are considered outstanding for campus actixnties and service to the University. 2. Hereafter the Pace-Setters, who were Juniors the previous year, shall select the Pace-Setters subject to the approval of the Deans of Men and Women. Although the number of Pace- Setters may vary, it is this person ' s opinion that there should be approximately 20 to 24 persons so honored. 3.
