Parallel events on the Creighton campus in 1950 were the arrival of the Reverend Carl M. Reinert, S.J. and the commencement of an era of progress and im- provement. If an old law grad were to stroll through the campus today he would note with a feeling of pride the changes which have been made during the last nine years. The old beanery where he whiled away so many hours has been converted into classrooms; a modern student Center has taken its place. A five story dormitory has re- placed the ramshackled buildings on the corner of 24th and California. He no longer sees the prepsters walk- ing down the hill, but theirs is not the fate of beanery or the ramshackled buildings for a passerby informs him that Prep has moved into new quarters in West Omaha. Walking by St. John ' s he sees that the old theater has so far been spared the fate of the beanery. But plans for a new library have been made and the wheels of progress roll towards its site. He passes the stately school where he spent so many hours brief- ing cases and continues down the narrow, red brick street to the entrance of the now hushed stadium. At the President ' s reception, Father Reinert is welcomed to Creighton by one of his well-wishers. Thoughtfully he surveys the campus. If he were a prophet he would see the outline of a science building with the spires of St. John ' s rising in the background; if a southwesterly wind were blowing he would hear, with the ears of imagination, the muted laughter of students enjoying a play at the new theater. And the old grad understands that Father Reinert has been the dreamer and the doer of this magnificent rebirth. Father Reinert ' s accomplishments and his future plans would be reason enough for us to dedicate this book. But it is not for this reason alone that we so honor him. We, the students of Creighton University, have through the years been inspired by Father Reinert. He has carried in the spirit of Ignatius the banner of Christ with foresight and courage. In appreciation of this example and in recognition of his great love for his fellow man, we dedicate this yearbook to him. The activities of Father Reinert ' s day are cen- tered around and spiritualized by the Mass. The first step toward a Greater Creighton - Deglman Hall and the Studsnt Center -- 1955. Father Reinert takes time out from a busy day to donate blood at the annual Red Cross drive. The sheer number of his speaking engagements attests to the popularity of Father Reinert.

A new year . . . Have trunk, will travel is the September slogan of many Creightonians who begin their first semester by toting boxes, radios and suitcases into the dorms and rooming houses. For maximum accomplishment in minimum time, the more enter- prising students recruit tireless parents, pessimistic aunts, and eager younger brothers and sisters to carry in all the para- phanalia needed during the school year. Clothing, bedding, and tennis rackets issue forth from the back seats and trunks of cars whose licence plates attest to having traveled from every area of the country. After several trips from the curb to the door, the big job is finally completed and weary dads lay exhausted in unmade beds while the younger brother collects his dime and races for a coke at the Center. The first phase of the migration is finished. Next, Attacking the unpacking. Chris Caligiuri, a senior, will have some tips on getting settled for her little sister, Fran. Janette Bates, Karen Johnson, and Agnes Cleary get acquainted before unpacking for the year. Dad carried the suitcases in so Mom can unpack them. Trunks . . . boxes . . . bags, and there is still more to come. The question is, Where can we put it? Careful now. Just three more loads here and then we can start to unpack the trunk. Freshman Week Filled with the anticipation and excitement of a new ad- venture, four hundred freshmen took full advantage of their get acquainted week at Creighton. Alpha Phi Omega service workers were busy directing the confused freshman and his worried parents on their first exploration of the campus. Dormitory proctors were completely occupied issuing room keys, carrying luggage and assuring the mothers that the rooms were warm even on the coldest days. Moderators of the dorms were caught with the spirit of the week and allowed their charges to stay out until shortly after the bewitching hour. Members of the Student Union Board of Governors had started the wheels of the new year into motion and their picnics, fun nights, and other activities kept the newest Creighton genera- tion occupied. By the end of the first week, all the good-by ' s and remember to write soon ' s had been said. Perforce the abandoned freshman became adjusted to his new life. A few of the fellows had bought their first pipe; girls were trying out the latest fads and all knew the exact location of the Dean of Men ' s office. At week ' s end, the observing senior could see that his fellow Creightonite was beginning to enjoy the new ex- perience with confidence and enjoyment as well. Dad: Don ' t worry, Mom, he ' ll be all right. Mom : Yes, but can we get along without him. Father Reinert gives a brief review to the freshman on college life and activities. The familiar administration building takes on a startling proportion for the new observers. Parents and new students are received and welcomed by the faculty and administration. The impending blackout — only five minutes to hunt up a flashlight. Tom Tibbels, a past master on college life, intro- duces his brother, Terry, to the proctor Fred Schneider. One can claim many firsts at school. This happens to be Terry ' s first meal at the Student Center. In the process of getting all of his books, Terry takes time out for a glance at his English book. The 1958 influx of freshman arrived on cam- pus. Terry Tibbels was a typical aspiring member of the newest generation of the Creighton family and new experiences was the phrase that prob- ably best told the story of his first week at Creigh- ton University. During those first few days he met many of his fellow classmates through the mixers, orientations, and picnics. At one of these frosh picnics, Terry met Cass Schrier and there must have been a certain attraction for the following evening they were seen on a movie and pizza date. After the bewildering and tiresome ordeal of registration, Terry and his 400 peers were plunged into a whirlwind of studies. Their faces wore the resigned and weary expressions of those who have realized that the excitement of Freshman week is only the first trial run in a long four year race. A Typical The end of a hectic day is in sight as Terry completes his last form at registration. Anticipating a pleasant evening, Terry calls for his date, Cass Schreier, at Acquinas Hall. Freshman Terry pauses to read a thought provoking inscrip- tion on the base of the statue of the Sacred Heart. Terry gets a helping hand as he and Cass enjoy their hamburger pizza at Trentino ' s Restaurant. Arriving at the theatre, Terry and Cass stop to note the billboards for a preview of the movie. Terry and Cass pause to say good night as an enjoyable evening draws to an end.

At the end of a day, the boys see that daddy ' s coming and scramble to the door to greet dad. Edith still has to help little Mike, but Marty informs his dad that I ' m big enough to feed myself . The boys can ' t get to sleep until Paul has read them their bedtime story about the big black bear. With This Ring . . . Every year in the cathedrals, chapels and the quiet country churches the phrase, With this ring . . . , is solemnly re- peated. A large number of those who accept these vows are the students of the American colleges and universities. This is of no exception to Creighton University, where nearly 22 per cent of the student body is comprised of married students. Paul Masar, a senior in Business Administration, is one of the ever increasing number who with their wonderful wives scrub faces, spoon cereal and perform the many other house- hold chores. This is sometimes not an easy task for Paul and his charming wife, Edith. Three boys, Paul 4. Marty 2. and Brian 1, do a good job of keeping them constantly on the run. Paul and his family ' s day starts early, for he has an eight to five schedule each day of classes and work. After a full morning schedule of classes and a very hectic afternoon filled inspecting claims, Paul is greeted by his three eager boys yearning for a romp before supper and that all important bed time story. After the boys have said their nightly prayers and have been tucked into bed with their teddy bear. Edith helps Paul type his Business Law cases or one of his many term papers. The family on the campus is of greater importance than ever before. Paul ' s family gives a shining example to all of successful married life on the American campus today. After a full morning of classes. Paul begins a busy afternoon of work at Mutual of Omaha. 7 And please God, let Daddy pass that Christian Marriage exam. Edith, Marty, and Paul pray for dad ' s scholastic success. It ' s six o ' clock and time for dinner, but please, dad, lift me up just one more time. There ' s a big hop from The Black Bears to Principles of Insurance. Student-father Paul makes that hop daily. As soon as Mike has finished his milk, Edith will get a chance to drink her coffee. 17 Convocation and Creighton Week is opened by the Mass of the Holy Ghost celebrated concurrently at the Cathedral and at St. John ' s Church. 18 Convocation Creighton Week opened with a Solemn High Mass of the Holy Ghost at St. John ' s Church for all Catholic students in the Schools of Dentistry, Law, Pharmacy and Medicine. Concurrently, there was a Pontifical High Mass at St. Cecilia ' s Cathedral for all other student divisions. The Omaha Music Hall was crowded on all three levels when Creighton students filled the auditorium for the eighth annual President ' s Convocation. Color and ' dignity was added to the one event of the year which brings the entire University together when professors appeared in caps and gowns wearing the insignia of their offices. Two members of the staff were cited for outstanding ser-. vices to Creighton University. The Reverend Henry W. Linn, S.J., vice-president in charge of University Relations, was hon- ored for his contribution of time, zeal, and energy in the current ten-year development program at Creighton. Dr. Victor E. Levine, professor of biological chemistry received a citation for his 40 years of service to Creighton. Dr. Levine has received national honors for his research in bio-chemistry and for his work in ten different expeditions to Alaska and the Arctic. For the second time in its eight year history, an outside guest speaker addressed the students at the President ' s Con- vocation. The Very Reverend Edward J. O ' Donnell, S.J., Presi- dent of Marquette University, spoke to the students on The Opportunities and Responsibilities of a University Student. The Very Reverend Carl M. Reinert, S.J., Creighton ' s President, gave a report on the past and future of Creighton. He summarized the results of the first phase of the ten-year development program and announced that Phase Two, the Alumni Library campaign has reached a total of $389,000. Creighton ' s President, Father Reinert, congratulates Father Linn on being honored for his service to the university. Father O ' Donnell of Marquette receives a warm ova- tion as he concludes his thought provoking address. The audience listens with great interest to Father Reinert as he reviews the past year and speaks of Creighton ' s future. Joan Lubischer and Joe Laird explain past and present enrollment trends at Creighton to an interested audience.

For, by, And... In early October of this year a new activity was inaugurated on campus by the leading clubs and or- ganizations and dubbed the Student Leadership Con- ference at Creighton University. Its stated purpose was, for, by and about the Creighton University students and their current and future relationships with the Uni- versity. Paul Masar was elected to head the executive steer- ing committee. Others on the committee included. Pat Lenihan, Kent Weber, Marge Semin, Joan Lubischer, and Judy Krajicek. Athletics and student life, enrollment policy, the long- range building program, and public relations and public service were chosen as topics and presented to the Gre ater Creighton committee during Creighton Week for student discussion. Recommendations were tabulated and presented for the Student Board of Governors ' s approval late in November. Recommendations ranged from drinking to scholasticism, and were, for the most part, accepted by the board. Plans have since been made to convert these ideas to realities. The possibility of future conferences has been dis- cussed. The ground work has been laid for a meeting at the beginning of next year. This will again give the students an opportunity to air their views. Conferences in the past have been successful and resulted in a greater co-operation between the students and administration. Now if the students were to accompany the faculty on field trips, Father Linn and Paul Masar discuss the recommendations. Club Internationale It isn ' t every night that you can take your best girl to a swank night club without blowing your whole week ' s paycheck on the cover charge. When this opportunity arises it is best to grab the chance, which is exactly what 500 Creighton students did when the Pep Club sponsored an unusual function in late October. For one evening they converted the Student Center into a candle-lighted night club and christened it the Club Internationale. The Trocadero had nothing on us. The floor show of 17 acts featured the song and dance of nine different countries. Mark Czechut and company performed a saber-flashing traditional Ukrainian dance. The intracacies of the Rhumba and the Cha-Cha, the clicking of Spanish castenets, the grace of the Hawaiian hula, and the soothing music of the organ kept club patrons entertained. The 502 Group of singers gave a premiere rendition of The Austin Miller Blues written by Bob Hynes, Ed Gatz, and Paul Furtak. Pep Club waitresses served popcorn and drinks . The drinks were poured from Seven-Up bottles cooled in ice-buckets. Along the more serious lines, emcee, Bob Runn had a very intelligent interview with a Chinese philosopher mit un Cherman accent , the Reverend Hoo Flung Fling Ho (Father Hasbrouck), thus ending the evening with the findings of Plato, Plutarch, and Peanuts. Everyone loves to dance, but this graceful couple have developed the intricacies of folk dancing to perfection. Mark Czechut and group show a bit of Ukrain with sword, boot and lively music.

The senior members of the Inter-Fraternity Council: Mike Higgins. Sam Turco Tom Parks, Jim Kirchner, Tom Burke, Jim Geisler, Dave Hoover, and Ron DiLeo. n Inter-Frat Ball A bit of the ancient world comes to life for one night during the year at Creighton when the Greek letter organizations crown their Helen of Troy at the Inter-Fraternity Ball. Each frat nominates one princess and from this royal court, Helen is chosen. Since not even the Queen herself knows of her honor until just previous to the crowning ceremony, excitement and suspense run high. Just before they walk up the long, carpeted aisle at Peony Park, the candidates can be seen in the lobby chatting excitedly, comparing formals and giving a nervous last-minute pat to hairdos. Anticipa- tion mounts as each princess is announced and when, at last, her majesty enters the ballroom the applause from the assembled court is loud and long. This year ' s Helen of Troy was Miss Jeanne Gurnett, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. No stranger to royalty, she was last year ' s College World Series Queen and has been a candi- date for many other honors on campus. Miss Gurnett rep- resented Alpha Phi Omega, the service fraternity. Sue Baber and Bill Davis are having their difficulties in putting the finishing touches on Dave Hoover ' s collar. The Helen of Troy candidates from the Greek letter organizations are: Kathy Stanosheck, Betty Weichman, Mary Ruppe, Jean Gurnett, Norma O ' Neill, Mary K. Yaggie, Jo Ann Molak, Ida Coleman, Sue Baber. A student life Creighton values the whole man — spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional — and like a wise mother she makes provisions for each of these aspects. Once a week students attend Mass in a body, but the student who really understands the infinite value of the Mass does not limit himself to the minimum. Daily attendance at Mass was not un- usual. Exam time found many rolling out of bed early to go to ask for extra help in passing those dreaded tests. New frosh were given a whole week of orien- tation during which they were introduced to their new surroundings and to each other. By October, they had the feel of the place and were out cam- paigning for their own officers harder than the Demos and GOP ' s do for a national election. Any time of the day you could see a segment of student life by dropping into the busy Stu- dent Center. Between classes the snack bar was the most popular place on campus. What could be more conducive to the education of the whole man than a conversation with a friendly coed in a cozy booth over a soda with two straws? Father Reinert administers communion to the students at the Mass mourning the death of Pope Pius XII. The Student Center is the most popular meeting place on campus. These fellows take time out for a bull session and ice cream. The Freshmen politicians were enthusiastic boosters of their chosen parties during the class elections. rhe Creighton University Student ' s Union presents...

After it was over the unanimous opinion was, It worth coming for; : was a good Homecoming. The Frontierland hop carried out the Disneyland theme of Homecoming Week. It ' s great to be young — dance energetically until the wee small hours and then hit classes next day fresh as a wilted daisy. Alums were satisfied when the Jays bounced St. Michael ' s College from Santa Fe, New Mexico 54-33, and the freshmen were elated when they won the traditional push-ball battle with the sophomores. There should have been a special Oscar for John Fogarty, Jim Quinn and Marty Gardner for their production of the Golden Horseshoe Revue. For many days the students who took part in the revue practiced their acts, with the result that the per- formances were as polished as the work of professionals. Musical selections ranged from ragtime Roll Out the Barrel to Some Enchanted Evening from South Pa- cific. Freshies came up with an original number entitled Bloody Mary . The tune didn ' t matter; it was the words and the accompanying actions which brought down the house. Coach Tommy Thomsen introduced the mem- bers of the basketball team at the end of the evening and the Pep Club cheerleaders whipped the crowd into a frenzy of school spirit as a climax to the program. President of the Student Board, Jim Buckley, crowns Queen Kathy with a coonskin cap and presents her to the students. train, and by bunion express...

Downtown Omaha stopped for a second look when Creighton ' s annual Homecoming Parade rolled and stepped along to the music of the University ' s ROTC marching band. Hours had been spent in trans- forming paper napkins, crepe paper, and chicken wire into Disneyland creations. It was cold at Ak-Sar-Ben Field where the floats were assembled, and chilled hands were warmed over charcoal burners. Who ' d blame a guy if he rubbed noses with a cute coed just to get warm? The School of Pharmacy worked until 4:00 a.m. on their Fantasyland float which won the first prize of $100. Deglman Hall captured sec- ond prize of $50 for its float depicting Snow White and Seven Dwarfs. John Borman and fellow Key- stone coppers , Charley Diers and Mike Regan, were on the prowl in their cruiser car of the 1912 vintage. Mark Ryan had suddenly become a most wanted criminal . Borman and company were kept busy try- ing to capture Ryan. They did, and at the same time they did a good job of getting their share of the laughs and helped create a spirit that made this Home- coming the best in years at Creighton University. The Keystone cops have caught their man and convict Ryan is hauled off to jail. and chickenwire... No, it ' s not an insecticide. Just one more coat of paint and these letters will be ready to go on ' the side of the float. How did we get this far and what do we do next to get this thing finished before tomorrow morning. Jim Buckley was thoroughly impressed as the small, but mighty Law school float passed the reviewing stand. 29 Any dance is exciting with flowers, music, soft lights and the company of that special person, but the Home- coming Dance is one of the most impressive events of the year. The triumphal moment of the coronation of the Homecoming Queen is the climax of the evening. When the princesses lined up with a flurry of eager an- ticipation and the little page boys submitted to a last minute touching up, the audience paused and a hush fell over the 575 couples present. Queen Kathy Stanosheck advanced to her royal throne in the presence of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Knights, citizens, and burgesses of her royal court. Last year ' s queen, Mrs. Jeanne Waller Barmettler presented the queen with a bouquet of roses; and among the first to offer con- gratulations to the new Queen was Miss Ann Drahota. the Homecoming Queen of 1956. James Buckley gave her Majesty a gift from the students — a beautiful oil painting of her Royal Highness in full court dress. The queen ' s train bearers get an assist from John Murphy and the steps are ascended without mishap. Flowers, music, soft Jeanne Gurnett and Mary Hood are astonished to hear the news just related by princess Marjorie Brickman.

For the many students who board, it was a long-awaited opportunity for a lengthy visit home. Many of the travelers, such as Elizabeth Montecalvo of Los Angeles, California, had neglected to do their Christmas shopping until the last minute and dared not to return to their domiciles empty-handed. Therefore, they went downtown, taking with them as a guide and adviser, a friend, such as Gerrylu Hogan. Dur- ing their shopping tour, they picked out many gifts in- cluding a sweater which was purchased only after much critical observation. Christmas was also the season for works of charity. Sodalities, fraternities, clubs and organizations caroled at the hospitals and homes for the aged, visited welfare centers with gifts and made baskets of food for the poor. Omaha students had a white Christmas at the last min- ute. Old Man Winter allowed the students to get a good start on their homeward journeys as the snow did not arrive until just after Midnight Mass on Christmas Day. For centuries caroling has been a favorite Christmas holiday activity. The men from Wareham Hall carry on the age old tradition each year. ... and I have been a good boy this year, Santa. John Kelley assists Santa Claus at a Christmas party gi ven by the Law Sodality. Do you think he will like it? Elizabeth and Gerrylu find that Christmas shopping is full of decisions as they tour the stores. 33 Presenting Regimental Commander, John C. Slaughter and the Honorary Colonel, Miss Christine Caligiuri. 34 The Military Ball ROTC isn ' t all drill, long marches and inspections. In order to teach etiquette and courtesy the military must have its social aspect. At Creighton, the military depart- ment achieves social prestige and breaks the monotony of drills and classes by holding the annual Military Ball. This year, the members of Phalanx, honorary Reserve Officer Training Corps fraternity, abandoned their fa- tigues and donned dress uniforms to act as sponsors for the Military Ball which was held on January 9th at Peony Park. The highlight of the evening was the announcement of the Honorary Colonel, who is chosen from a group of candidates or honorary commanders selected by each company. At this year ' s Ball, the honor went to Christine Caligiuri, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences. John Slaughter, Cadet Commander, was awarded the rank of Regimental Commander which goes each year to the outstanding student of military science who has demonstrated his ability through high achievement. An officer and his lady, Don Prinz and Miss Elizabeth Montecalvo, march proudly past the honor guard during the Ball presentations. John Slaughter receives the regimental commander bars from Col. Daniel B. Adams, as the Honorary Colonel smiles approvingly. The presentation of the colors is the first event of a very colorful ceremony that highlights the Military Ball. 35 This was only one of the many intricate business machines that was displayed by local businessmen during Bus. Ad. Booster Days. The makins that is piled high at this table is something that few Creightonians can do without. ENTI EDIUrV AN IN Bus. Ad Booster Days A room in the former Public Relations office was taken over this year by a group of Business Administra- tion students who painted and furnished their new do- main and tacked up a huge map of Omaha on the wall as its sole decoration. From September until February these students could be found typing letters, drawing posters and generally preparing what appeared to be a meticulously, well-organized plan worthy of the most capable strategists. The tireless workers were none other than members of Delta Sigma Pi and Alpha Kappa Psi, national pro- fessional business fraternities. These men kept the College of Business Administration in a whirl of constant ac- tivity from the beginning of school until their brainchild, the Second Annual Business Administration Booster Days was finally born on February 24th and 25th. The purpose of Bus. Ad. Booster Days was to promote friendship, understanding and cooperation between Creighton University and the businessmen in the Omaha area. During this time everyone was invited to view dis- plays in the north and south parlors of the Student Center. The displays ranged from complicated IBM machines to mens ' clothing. A wide representation was gained and the fraternities missed few commercial interests. On the evening of the 24th the community ' s business leaders and students were invited to be guests at a banquet which featured Chester A. Lauch, the former Lum Ed- wards of the radio Lum and Abner team, now a top executive in the Continental Oil Company, as guest speak- er. They also had the opportunity to attend a symposium and a panel discussion on facets of business life and how it affects the college student. Grins and laughter prevailed when Mr. Chester A. Lauck, guest speaker for the Bus. Ad.

Nothing to it! says Mary Cain, the Charleston instructor, but her partner still appears rather dubious of the situation. 38 The Boy Friend Flappers, headache bands and the Charleston were the cat ' s pajamas when the Creighton Players staged the 1926 musical-comedy, The Boy Friend as their an- nual Spring production. This hilarious satire on life among the international set during the roaring twenties furnished these thespians with an opportunity to display every facet of their versatile talents. Principles and sup- porting players danced, sang and acted throughout the play, proving that the day of the triple threat entertainer has not become extinct with the demise of Vaudeville. The Charleston, that ankle-straining step of the Twenties, presented a real challenge to many of the players, but by the time the curtain went up opening night the cast was tripping its way through the choreography with the know-how of the Clara Bow contemporary. Has anybody seen my gal? Why my dear sir, didn ' t you know, she ' s jazzing it up in the chorus of The Boy Friend. She is absolutely the cat ' s meow — that ' s Patty Kraren giving the come-hither look to Bob Boe. 39 This T.V. appearance was only a minor event in General Wedemeyer ' s whirlwind schedule of lectures and dinners. Alpha Sigma Nu Lecture In early March, students and guests of Alpha Sigma Nu, the Jesuit Honorary fraternity, filled Joslyn Me- morial Concert Hall to hear General Albert C. Wedemeyer speak at the fifth annual Alpha Sigma Nu Lecture. Gen- eral Wedemyer, who served with great distinction in World War II, is now retired from the army and recent- ly authored the very controversial best-seller, Wede- meyer Reports! He reminded his listeners that our strongest weapons are not fearsome physical ones, but rather are economic, political and psychological defenses, which, if used to their greatest capacity, can make us superior to Russia and win many friends from abroad to the American cause. In a day of pessimistic prediction, his observation that he did not think there would be a shooting war over the Berlin crisis was an optimistic and cheering note. Following his address, Wedemeyer, a native of Omaha, was presented The Creighton Univer- sity Distinguished Service Award in the Field of Diplo- macy by Father Reinert. At a reception held in Joslyn ' s Floral Court immediately following the lecture his ad- mirers had their opportunity to meet and talk with this famous soldier and writer. Later students went home to mull over the thought-provoking words they had heard, Creightonian reporters sped to the office to type up their stories and the general attended a dinner given in his honor by Alpha Sigma Nu. A young admirer smiles happily as the general takes time out from his busy schedule to sign her autograph book. A capacity audience filled Joslyn Concert Hall to hear the general lecture on American policies revaluated in the missile age. 40 General Wedemeyer is the center of the Jesuits attention as they listen with very great interest to his views on the present, tension filled world situation. 41 Corporation Meeting Jerry CTKief, junior member of the Student Board of Governors from the School of Law, convened the thirty- sixth annual Student Union Corporation Meeting at 8:00 p.m., March 24 and 25, 1959, in the Student Center. For the second time in as many years the meeting, nearly six hours in length, lasted into a second night. The meeting, well organized and conducted, allowed for whole-hearted participation, comment and debate on the issues from the floor. Students took full advantage of their opportunity to have a role in university govern- ment and nearly every issue had both avid supporters and determined opponents. The bulk of the amendments of the Student Union charter concerned an increase in the powers of the Presi- dent of the Student Board of Governors. The convention vested the president with the power to appoint his own secretary and treasurer and to personally count the bal- lots cast for school royalty. A provision for removal of incompetent board members by their fellow members was also passed. Soundly defeated were proposals to enlarge the board, to change the time for the mid-winter home- coming parade and to revise the traditional committee alignment within the Board of Governors. Jerry O ' Kief, chairman of the corporation meeting, listens patiently as the author of one of the by-law changes speaks for his proposal. The amendments presented were for the most part either well received or soundly beaten leaving little room for a proposal that could be passed with a small margin of votes. 42 ' 59 Prom Banquet Immediately after Easter the thoughts of all socially- minded Creightonians turned to the Prom. A balmy April night, a capacity crowd and the music of Tommy Dorsey ' s orchestra combined to make this last big dance of the year, one of the most successful events of the spring semester. Probably those who enjoyed the event more than anyone else were the students chosen by an all-uni- versity vote to be princes and princesses of the royal court. Their activities began with a tea given in their honor shortly after the prom elections. This was followed by a dinner given the evening before the Prom. As usual, rumors were rampant around the campus as to the identi- ty of King Creighton xxxv and his Queen. But their names remained a well-kept secret, even from the monarchs themselves. At 11 o ' clock on the night of April 3, 1959, the identity of the king and queen for the Class of 1959 was revealed, Miss Ida Coleman of the College of Arts and Mr. David Hoover of the School of Dentistry. At the dinner honoring the Prom princes and princesses, Father Miller, compliments the royalty and the Board of Governors. A long and busy weekend began for the Prom royalty with the banquet in their hon- or at the Blackstone Hotel the night preceding the crowning of the King and Queen. 43 Do you think that our dresses will be all right? Jim Buckley and John Murphy assure the ladies that their dresses are just what the Queen ordered.

Students adjusted their new schedules under the direction of the Rev. Virgil S. Roach, S.J., the new dean, and the Rev. Thomas K. McKenney, S.J., assistant dean. Freshmen found the registration pro- cess complicated, mystifying and seemingly endless. The College of Arts and Sciences is the core around which al- most every other phase of the university is built. Besides pre-professional students, there are enrolled in the Arts School future chemists, teachers, journalists, sociologists and historians. Student activity revived this year when the junior class sponsored the Frontierland Sock-hop at Homecoming and the entire school united under the di- rection of the class officers to sponsor the Arts Ball. Rev. Virgil Roach, S.J., A.M., Ph.L., S.T.L. Dean Rev. Thomas K. McKenney, S.J., A.M. Assistant Dean Father Henri Renard, author of the philosophy texts used at Creighton, instructs his students on the Thomistic truths. 58 A would-be scientist and two of his associates anxiously await the results of their experiment as two other future chemists collaborate on another project. Concentration and patience are the watchwords as these students of the laboratory sciences test and retest for the correct result. 59 Floyd E. Walsh, Ph.D. Dean College of Business Administration Contrary to rumor, the School of Business Admini- stration did not move into the rooms vacated by Creigh- ton Prep when the high school took up its new quarters in West Omaha, but remained in its old haven, the gray, stone house on 25th and Cass. Here the future business- men and women who will represent Creighton throughout the country are trained in their chosen fields of account- ing, finance, management, general business, economics and marketing. A turning point in the lives of many bus- iness administration students is reached toward the end of their senior year when job interviewers from companies all over the United States arrive on campus seeking prospec- tive employees. Through this method of meeting the men in their respective fields of business, many students find employment without ever actually pounding the pave- ments and are launched on their careers directly from school. Biggest activity at the School of Business Ad- ministration this year was Bus. Ad. Booster Days, the fulchrum around which almost everything revolved from early September until the 24th and 25th of February.

School of Medicine A doctor is a dedicated man, a healer of the sick, a mender of broken bodies, a confidant of the confused and the troubled. His is not the cold and clinical approach to humanity. Rather he cures through his knowledge that body, mind and spirit are inseparably correlated and that one cannot be ill without the other two also suffering. Therefore, the student of medicine must learn not only of physical ills and afflictions but of mental diseases and emotional imbalances as well. Creighton University is justly proud of the doctors whom it has graduated and continues its belief in the medical school as well as in the other colleges and schools on the campus, that al- though specialization is important, development of the whole man remains the prime aim of education. Frederick G. Gillick, B.S.M., M.D., M.Int.Med., M.P.H. Dean Richard L. Egan, B.S.M., M.D. Assistant Dean Doctor W. T. Niemer shows several of his students how the electro- encechalograph operates as it records the patient ' s brain waves. 62 X-ray, one of the modern doctor ' s most valuable tools is used by these students to pinpoint and diagnose internal illness. In the medical technology laboratory students examine various culture tissues under the lens of the microscope. Dr. Laffin examines a sensitivity plate to determine if the culture on it has been stimulated to growth through drugs. 63 School of Pharmacy Salvatore J. Greco, B.S.. Pharm., Ph.D. Dean Whitecoats, pills and prescriptions are the signs of the aspiring pharmacist who does not work and study with his fellow students on the Hilltop, but instead experiments and works at the School of Pharmacy downtown. Pharmacy stu- dents have a great spirit of loyalty as witnessed by the fact that girls from the pharmacy school were candidates for every all-school honor this year. The pharmacy students supplement their work and incomes by working in drug- stores, giving them valuable experience for when they have their own establishments. Under the direction of the dean, Dr. S. J. Greco, they work closely with the medical school. The students of pharmacy perform corporal works of mercy through their duties in the dispensary. The most anticipated social event of the year at the school is Pharmacy Day which takes place annually and is climxed by a dinner-dance in the evening. Pharmacy students are trained to be retail pharmacists who will serve their community and work with its physicians in the preparation and dispensation of healing drugs and medications. Rev. Vincent L. Decker, S.J., A.B. Jesuit Counsellor for the Schools of Pharmacy and Medicine Exact measurement are essential in the study of pharmacy. Sister Richard records tabulations made by Nate Johnson. 64 In the Pharmacy Dispensary, the senior students work in co-ordination with the students of the School of Medicine in the cure and prevention of disease.

Endres, S.J., A.B., Ph.L., A.M., S.T.L., LL.B. Jesuit Counsellor for School of Law of Law To turn out men dedicated to their profession, cap- able of exceptional self-expression, both verbal and writ- ten and expert in the precedents as well as in the changes of the law — this is the aim of the Creighton University School of Law. Law students can be indentified by their thick portfolios, habitual frowns and devastating wit in conversation. At examination time, the coffee klatches formed by the men from the law school vanish and these would-be lawyers disappear within the walls of their legal retreat and more specifically into the law lounge where they keep their minds alert between exams by play- ing intensely competitive games of monopoly and think- ing up such startling headlines as Have Flunked, Will Travel 7 ' for the weekly edition of THE POST, official pub- lication of the law school. The pressure bearing upon the law student never lets up. From the day he briefs his first case as a freshman till the time three grinding years later when he can rightly claim the initials LLB behind his name, he is subjected to a grueling routine of written and oral work. Besides their time-consuming studies many of the law students still find time to participate in such organizations as the sodality, Student Bar Association and to represent their school in other organizations and governing bodies on the campus. 66 A freshman class opens with one of Mr. Bloomingdale ' s witty comments, which evokes appreciative grins from these law school novices. Law School Librarian Margaret Hall issues to Keith Fredericks one of the endless number of volumes available to the aspiring lawyers. The Law School Library, crammed to the ceiling with legal tomes, is indispensable for necessary study and research work. 67 A Tribute lo A Great Man The great man is Professor William Sternberg, now professor emeritus of the School of Law. The tribute was the annual Law Day, this year, Sternberg Law Day in honor of his retirement. After 41 years of teaching, Pro- fessor Sternberg was saying good-by to his boys. As was his custom, he said it eloquently. The occasion was the Sternberg Law Day Dinner- Dance held at the Field Club. The annual affair, honor- ing this year, Professor Sternberg, was sponsored by the Student Bar Association and attended by the faculty and by the students of the School of Law. In the classroom he had given these budding lawyers their first taste of demurrers, contractual rights and duties and the principles of agency. This evening he gave them something more — a philosophy of life and law, impressive and unforgettable. But for all his learning, the professor had always re- mained a teacher with a twinkle in his eye. Nothing de- lighted him more than to see an eager neophyte frant i- cally searching for the right response to one of his pro- bing questions. After a year with Professor Sternberg the third degree held no terrors for these young men — they had been initiated. What was the consideration? How was the question raised? Those questions have always brought back a remembrance of the professor ' s classroom tactics to all of his former students and perhaps an involuntary shudder as each remembers the first time the questions were directed toward him. The tributes were many that night, but one more was yet to come. It was rendered a few days later as this great and wonderful Prof said good-by, boys to his final class. As he strode to the door of the classroom the stu- dents, rising applauded him with a sincere and heartfelt ovation. For Professor Sternberg it was a long, but very touching and rewarding walk. Prof, and Mrs. William Sternberg, the honored guests at the Law Day dinner. B ' H 68 Mr. Frank Winner, the toastmaster, relates one of Professor Sternberg ' s classic anecdotes to the amusement of the faculty and of the students. Professor Sternberg reflects on his last 41 years as a teacher while being congratulated by Dean Doyle. Various interests attract the eyes and attention of the faculty of the Law School at the dinner dance honoring Professor Sternberg. 69 School Benjamin L. Lynch, B.S.D., D.D.S., A.M., M.S.D. Dean Rev. Edmund J. Stumpf, S.J., A.M. Jesuit Counsellor for School of Dentistry of Dentistry Labs, classes, clinics and endless hours of study fill the days, weeks and months of the young men in the School of Dentistry. Dental students enter the building furtherest west on campus with at least two and usually three or four years of liberal arts education behind them. The initial years which the students spend in the dental school are devoted to the study of theory and the prac- tice of dental technique on quiet and uncomplaining plastic models. Perhaps it is this training in observation which explains why the dental students look at the teeth and gums of others first and notice faces merely as an afterthought. In the final two years, he works in the clinic, performing surgery, treating oral diseases, filling cavities, and building bridges and dentures in order to ready himself for the practice of dentistry after gradu- ation. This is perhaps the most rigorous and exacting phase of the future dentist ' s training, for as the student achieves success in the clinic to that degree he will be an expert and successful practicing dentist. The dental stu- dent therefore acquires patience and a desire for per- fection in his work by performing a task over and over again in the lab until the final product of his efforts is flawless in skill and quality. Behind all the difficulty is the satisfaction of knowledge gained and skill acquired. 70 All seems quiet and serene here in the Children ' s Clinic, but don ' t be disillusioned, for any minute that little fellow is liable to take a bite out of Dr. Kubat ' s finger. Junior student Mac Foley watches attentively as Dr. C. J. Vacanti demonstrates to him a fine point of operative dentistry. These engrossed sophomore dental students realize that success in the lab is essential to success in their chosen profession. 71 Graduate School The Creighton University Graduate School offers to those students who have already earned a Bachelor ' s de- gree the opportunity to further broaden their range of knowledge, and become experts in the fields of English, education, history and chemistry. Any day, an observer may see Father Harrington ' s little office behind the main stairway of the Administration Building, being stormed by these potential masters wanting to know about re- quirements, an overdue thesis, or with a complaint about a missing book in the library. Many of these graduates are granted teaching fellowships in their fields, which al- low them to teach a lower division course in the univer- sity and, at the same time, attend the classes necessary for their degrees. Endless research spells the curriculum for the graduate student, and he may be seen at any time perusing countless volumes which he has confiscated from the depths of the library ' s reserve. But, in the end, these efforts are well-rewarded as he receives the coveted Master ' s degree. Rev. Richard C. Harrington, S.J., A.M., S.T.B., Ph.D. D ean A meeting of the minds — Every Saturday morning, the graduate students in the field of English get together to discuss the fine points of literature. 72 The University 73 That ' s not a roller on an old-fashioned player piano. It ' s a recording of the gas pressure in a dog ' s gastro-intestinal tract. Gosh, Doc! You mean that ' s how I look when I ' m breathing! Doctor Brody and Mary Weiss prepare photos of the phases of respiration. Heart Research Everyone is interested in heart disease because it is our country ' s number one killer, and everyone has a heart, even the seemingly heartless professor. Research workers are devoting much time and strenuous efforts to find answers to the hundreds of questions regarding heart disease. Dr. Alfred W. Brody, in charge of Creighton ' s heart research program, carries on his studies under grants from the Nebraska Heart Association and the National Institute of Health. He is seeking answers to the secrets of this complex organ. Is the American diet dangerous to the heart? What causes blood clots? Is heart disease hereditary? Dr. Brody ' s studies include research on the absorption of foods and drugs, blood flow in the gastro-intestinal tract, and obstructions in the blood vessels. He has an electrocardiograph to record heart action of his subjects. The maze of tubes and equipment for some of his experiments, looks like an inventor ' s nightmare; but to Dr. Brody they are the instruments which may aid in an- swering some of the problems about heart disease. The cheapest investment in health is research; the dividends paid are consonant with a very expensive one- human life. And he knows where they all lead to — namely to infor- mation leading to the arrest and conviction of heart disease. 74 Cancer Research Creighton may well be proud of the part her faculty plays in scientific research. Dr. Charles M. Wilhelmj is co-ordinator of research at the Creighton School of Med- icine. He is active in arranging research seminars in different scientific fields. His own pet project is research in the effects of diet. If you want to see what coke and hamburgers are doing to you, Dr. Wilhelmj has the answer. Last year Creighton ranked fourth in the American Physiological Society Journal for the number of research articles published. Harvard was first with 16 papers; Creighton had 11 papers published which were written by members of her faculty. Cancer Research is under the direction of Dr. H. J. Phillips who came to Creighton seven years ago. In 1957 the National Cancer Institute provided a grant of $18,000 for three years. Dr. Phillips has 20 different tissue cultures in his laboratory. One piece of tissue has been kept growing for 19 years; another tissue removed from a cancerous cervix 10 years ago is still reproducing itself. The laboratory equipment is valued at a minimum of $25,000. Dr. Phillips has adapted a polaroid camera for use with a microscope so he can photograph cells and have a developed picture in 60 seconds. Coffee break! No, wait a minute! That ' s not a coffee urn. It is a gadget to determine the respiration of tissue cultures. Ed Sullivan doesn ' t know about this! Here we have Dr. Phillips and his assistant using a polaroid camera to photograph cancer cells. Give ' er the gas! Under the direction of Dr. Phillips, Mrs. Veta Skank is gassing culture media with carbon dioxide. 75 Polio Rehabilitation The Respiratory and Rehabilitation Center at St. Jo- seph ' s Hospital is the only one of its kind in a Catholic hospital operated in conjunction with a Catholic Medical School. It is made possible through grants from the Na- tional Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Dr. Harold N. Neu is the director and Dr. Harold A. Ladwig is the assistant director of this first complete re- habilitation center in Nebraska. There is special equipment for breathing, testing, lift- ing, walking and coughing. Physical therapy offers a Hubbard tank, whirlpool baths, steam cabinets, exercise tables, a gym and ultrasonic treatments. The program of treatment integrates the whole man, his spiritual, physical, emotional, cultural and education- al needs. The medical social service at the Center tries to effect adequate home care plans and follow-up after dis- charge. With the advent of the Salk vaccine there is a de- crease in polio but rehabilitation also includes patients with strokes, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, arthritis and traumatic injuries. The goal of the Center is to help handicapped persons re-adjust to community life and at- tain maximum self-sufficiency and usefulness. See what big eyes I have, Doc? His feet may be wobbly but he has eyes to see. A periodic eye check-up is part of the routine. Speech and hearing therapy is part of the rehabilitation program for any child or adult who may have speech or hearing problems. 76 The Chest shell makes it possible for the patient to move around more freely — a happy release from confinement to one spot. Dr. Neu demonstrates the use of equipment to nurses and interns. Everyone working in Rehab is a specialist in using the equipment. The motto is: We help them to help themselves. In the Occu- pational Therapy Section the patients learn many arts and crafts. Going home is the goal. The average stay of a patient at the Cen- ter is eight months. The day of discharge is a red letter day. 77 Frank Yantorno, dental senior, as Young Abe Lincoln, peddles needles to a frontier housewife portrayed by Peg Blomstrom. Dr. Edward Corbett, associate professor of English, studies his script as H. C. Whitney, friend of Lincoln, on set with Alumnus John Schinker. Creighton University On T. V. One of the most ambitious Communication Arts pro- jects of this year was a series of six TV programs com- memorating the 150th Anniversary of the Birth of Abra- ham Lincoln. The first of the half-hour programs was telecast live from the WOW-TV studios, the remaining five were recorded on video tape in advance of air time. Creighton is believed to be the first university in this area to present educational TV programs via video tape. Scripts for the Abraham Lincoln series were written by the Rev. R. C. Williams, S.J., director of Communica- tion Arts. He was assisted by Ben Paxton, instructor in radio and TV speech, in producing and coordinating the show. A cast of more than twenty students, faculty, and alumni appeared in each program. Students took all of the principal roles. Another Communication Arts projects was a series of 13 radio programs under the general title of The World of the Mind. These were broadcast on Radio WOW on the 30th Anniversary of the Creighton University of the Air. The series was produced and directed by Ben Pax- ton will all-student announcers. 78 A scene from Young Lincoln of Illinois is filmed during one of a series of programs commemorating the birthday of Abe Lincoln. Square dance director, Forrest Bronson, looks on critically as the cameras roll in the university ' s Abe Lincoln series. Hang down your head, Tom Dooley.

Over 19 publications and brochures, not to mention the hundreds of mimeographed sheets, issued annually from the Public Relations office. 80 Public Relations Public Relations moved to a new home this year. The old offices in Hut Three were abandoned for larger and more modern quarters in Aquinas Hall. Robert T. Reilly. of Gregore fame and director of public relations, has been at Creighton since the fall of 1950. His assistant, Harry Dolphin, director of the University News Bureau, came to Creighton in September of 1951. The Public Relations Department does a little bit of everything. Releases of Creighton news are sent to the World-Herald, to the True Voice, and to local radio and TV stations. News items about students are clipped and sent to papers in the students ' home town. Through the Public Relations offices you can get any- thing from a 15 minute movie on student life on campus, a faculty newsletter, a medical bulletin, a highlights of the year report, a dope sheet on University sports, or a speaker for your next convention from the University Speakers Bureau. Arrangements for Founder ' s Week, Par- ents ' Day and the Red Cross Blood Drive are made up by the Public Relations Department. The names and addresses of 14,000 alums are in the Public Relations files. There is a special 201 file with biographical data on students past and present. tx:0 v Don ' t look so upset, fellows. You only have to choose one. Bob Reilly and Harry Dolphin select a sketch for a display. Student Aid! Perhaps they ' re coming up with answer books for the students. LeAnne Iwan, editor of the Alumnus, dummies a sheet. This is a pleasant job — more phone numbers than a little black book. Jerrv Lovell and Ed Bennett work the addressograph. 81 That all important day, graduation, has finally arrived. The many times that these graduates walked from St. John ' s to the Student Center is now for many their last. 82 83 SENIORS Andre Eilian, Iran; Farhad Manoochehri, Iran; Betty Murray, U.S.A.; Teresa Salvador, Philippines; gather to celebrate United Nations Day.

Arts Student Board of The affairs of the Student ' s Union are directed by the Board of Governors. These men are elected for a two year term and serve their junior and senior year. The men on the Board of Governors begin their job early in the summer with the compilation of the Student Handbook. Another committee is busy pre- paring for Freshman Week. During the fall semester, the board handled the first mixer of the year, the Freshman Frolics, and the very successful Homecom- ing. In addition to this, the board sponsored the an- nual Red Cross Blood Drive, the United Fund Drive, Bob Kearns, Business Administration Union Governors and the class elections. In the spring, the board direct- ed the Junior-Senior Prom and the annual corporation meeting. Those two events are top on the board ' s agenda for the year. This year, the Board of Governors lent its undi- vided support to the newly formed Student Leadership Conference and it will take responsibility for its con- tinuance in the future. Financial backing was given to the Arts Class officers in the form of a loan in order to enable them to inaugurate the first annual Arts Ball.

The Letterman ' s Club is the newest club on campus. It is still in the form- ative stages, constitution and by-law wise, that is, but when you see a 6 foot 8 specimen walk by, it would seem that the individual members are formed enough. The project uppermost on the agenda for the lettermen is to fix up a room in the gym where members can relax outside of games. Tommy Thomsen is the advisor. Front Row: John Bolamperti.

Chess Club Quiet, please! The Chess Club is matching wits again. In the round-robin tournament every player had a chance to play every other player. Some say the boys excel the girls when it comes to playing chess but that is a matter of opinion. It has never been proven that the male is more patient or more saga- cious than the female. In the Omaha U. vs. Creighton U. chess tournament Oma- ha U. won. There were about 15 active members in the chess club and about 30 other members who played occasionally on rainy Sunday afternoons.

Hawaiian Club From surf boards in Wakiki to ice skates at Ak-Sar-Ben! The Hawaiian Club under Calvin Lum abandoned their leis to go on an ice skating party in midwinter. Eight of the 25 students in the club formed an entertainment group which gave performances of native songs and dances at Music Hall for the Nebraska Auto Club and at the Beatrice State Hospital. Hui OHawaii entered two teams in the bowling tournament and had a lot of fun even if they didn ' t win. Their Thanksgiving party was one of the main events of the year.

Drive carefully, the life you save may vote Democrat, could well be the slogan of the Young Democrats who were interest- ed in getting Democrats to the polls. They assisted in the registration of voters in the Third Ward and urged everyone to get out and vote. At their meetings on Wednes- day evenings they featured guest speakers who talked on disarmament; the political situation in England; and political issues and candidates at home. They entered a float in the homecoming parade and spon- sored a mixer which even Republicans could attend. 119 Front Row: Dean Gau, Bernard O ' Brien. Paul Tedesco.

No women belong but when it comes to the spring dance held in conjunction with the Math Club the girls are in demand. The club is small (only about 16 members! but active. It has tours and every so often it has a meeting with the Engi- neers of Nebraska. Guest speakers in the engi- neering field lecture at the monthly meetings. These young men with their slide rules and plumb lines will probably soon be building rockets to the moon. Mathematics Club The Mathematics Club works hand in hand with the Engineers Club. They have meetings on alternate months. One month the Mathematics Club sponsors the meeting, and the next month, the Engineers take over. The students themselves give most of the talks although occasionally guest speakers are invited to speak to the students about such things as computers in industry or the opportunities open to mathematicians in spite of the prominence of electronic computing machines.

They had blackboard talks and lectures on the nature and methodology of physics, chemistry, biology, math, poetic know- ledge and mystical knowledge. There may have been moments when a fellow ' s mind would wan- der. To him the beatific vision was his girl at the Homecoming dance; whereas Father Vaske had eternal beatitude in mind. But even St. Thomas had to admit that the human mind couldn ' t be constantly engaged in contemplation so the Tho- mists mixed philosophy, food, and fun and came up with a happy m ixture for all of its members.

Society Knowing that in this jet-propelled age the farthest cour- try from America is only a matter of hours away, the IRC worked hard to arrive at a better understanding of inter- national affairs. Georgette Magassy was a happy choice for president because she knew internation problems from first hand experience. Guest speakers from abroad or people who had taken trips abroad addressed the Inter- national Relations Club members. One of the most impres- sive talks was an account of conditions behind the Iron Curtain as witnessed by Miss Charlotte Benniwitz. indone.

It is affiliated with the state and national organizations so that the students automatically belong to the large division. Dr. Edward B. O ' Connor is moderator of the group and Maxine J. Karpan is president. The purpose of the NEA is to develop personal growth and professional competence in young teachers entering the educational field. The 27 mem- bers have a chance to talk with experienced teachers about salaries, opportunities in the field of education, and the problems common to new teachers. The student NEA par- ticipates in the two state meetings held each year. At the spring meeting Creighton University ' s chapter of the NEA was co-host with Omaha University.

During the summer the Pan-Hellenic members print and edit a small booklet entitled It ' s Greek to Me which explains the functions of the sororities and the rules and activities of rushing and pledging. Pan-Hellenic also directs the actual operations of rushing and pledging which take place in the fall and again, on an informal basis, at the semester. In conjunction with the sororities the Council sponsors two dances during the year, one at initiation and another in the Spring. This year, alums, actives and new actives attended a workshop at which the nine mem- bers of the Pan-Hellenic Council acted as hostesses for the group.

Each year, Alpha Alpha Chap- ter works in conjunction with Alpha Epsilon Chap- ter at the University of Nebraska in presenting a program for the Nebraska Pharmaceutical Asso- ciation in the spring. 147 Alpha Sigma Nu J.

O ' Kief C. Vlach Membership in Alpha Sigma Nu, national Jesuit hon- or society, is based on scholarship, service and loyalty to the University. Two outstanding male students are select- ed each year from the junior class of each of the colleges in addition to three members admitted as all-University choices. Alpha Sigma Nu co-operates with the Alumni Association each year to bring an outstanding public figure to the campus to speak on a topic of current interest. This year ' s visiting celebrity was General Al- fred Wedemeyer, author of the best-seller, The Wedemey- er Report. A first this year for Alpha Sigma Nu was the sponsoring of movie classics to give students an op- portunity to view some older examples of film art. As another service project the organization undertook a sur- vey of various aspects of college life compiled from data received from colleges and universities throughout the United States. To further its aim of promoting cultural understanding and intellectual understanding among the students of the University, Alpha Sigma Nu also spon- sors coffee and conversation hours where topics of cur- rent interest are discussed. John McEvoy, President 148 Alpha Phi Omega The aim of Alpha Phi Omega, national service fra- ternity, is to render service to its members, the student body and the community. To attain this goal the frater- nity strives to discover opportunities for service, not only around the University, but outside as well. In keep- ing with their tradition of community service, Alpha Phi Omega sponsors an annual Easter egg hunt at orphanages throughout the city. At Creighton, members set up an in- formation center and acted as checkers at convocation, operated the lost and found department in the Student Service Office, assisted at registration, ushered at school plays and sponsored the Turkey Trot last fall. The frater- nity has twenty-five members, all of whom have fulfilled its main entrance requirement by belonging to one of the scouting movements. Creighton ' s chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, Kappa Chi, was organized in 1950. Steve Kralik, President R. Bogard R. Champ M. Czechut C. Druse R. Runn D. Ferrari J. Hauptman J. Kostel S. Kralik A.

In the fall, the fraternity sent eight delegates to its regional convention in St. Louis and supplemented this business experience with several professional dinners featuring guest speak- ers who are outstanding businessmen in this area. This year the Delta Sigs served the community by assisting in the Omaha March of Dimes Collection. Their float with its Dixieland Song of the South theme copped third prize in the Homecoming Parade. The fraternity also sponsors various social activities among which are picnics, steak fries, dinners, informal parties and, high- lighting this year, the annual Rose Dance where the Rose of Delta Sigma Pi is announced. Chief acquisition of the fraternity this year was an office, shared with the other business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi, and used as headquarter for Booster Days planning. There ' s nothing like a picnic . . . These Delta Sigs swing into their yearly fraternal activities with hot dogs and hula hoops. Tom Carl, President 151 Alpha Kappa Psi J. Atkins D. Campbell J.

Organizing such large scale gatherings was not a new project for these Alpha Psis who for the second time this year sponsored Business Booster Days at the Student Center in conjunction with Delta Sigma Pi. Again this year. Delta Pi chapter con- ducted a tour for six seniors from each of the five Omaha high schools around the Creighton campus. As a part of their view of the campus the students sat in on classes, visited the ROTC department, and were guests at a din- ner with a local businessman as guest speaker. Alpha Kappa Psi ' s social activities include the Pledge Smoker, a Christmas party, demit ceremonies for graduating sen- iors at the end of each semester, and the Sweetheart Dance in the Spring at which the fraternity reveals the girl they have chosen to be Sweethear t of Alpha Kappa Psi. On the professional side the members of the fra- ternity tour various business establishments and have a dinner once a month featuring a prominent Omaha bus- inessman as guest speaker. Ron Evert, President Phi Delta Chi Phi Chapter of Phi Delta Chi, national Pharmacy Fraternity, was established at Creighton in 1920 for the purpose of promoting a better understanding of the suc- cess and ethical standards of the Pharmacy profession. This year the future pharmacists published for the first time the Phi Crier , a fraternity paper instigated to in- form alumni of chapter activities and to keep them post- ted on the whereabouts of their fellow Phi Dexmen. Among the social activities were the rush and pledge parties early in the year, climaxed by the annual Sweet- heart Ball in the Spring, at which the Sweetheart of Phi Delta Chi was announced.

The college man who belongs to this group is an advanced member of the Reserve Officer Training Corps program with an interest in military mat- ters and a desire to develop himself professionally and to increase his military spirit. In order that members may practice the customs and courtesies of the Armed Forces which they learn in the classroom, the fraternity, besides sponsoring the military ball, has a spring dinner-dance, picnics and a steak dinner to which a prominent person is invited as the guest speaker. Delta Morae, the Creigh- ton chapter, numbers thirty-five members at reveille.

Kelly, President On the Creighton campus since 1913, Bryan chapter of Delta Theta Phi, professional legal fraternity, seeks to develop in its members a greater skill and ability in legal practice. To achieve this goal and to promote high scholastic standards among its members, the fraternity uses various study aids and annually holds a profes- sional dinner with a prominent lawyer as guest speaker. Abounding in executive ability, the Delts this year listed the presidents of the Student Board of Governors, the Interfraternity Council and the Student Bar Association among their members. They scheduled parties for Christ- mas, St. Patrick ' s Day, fall rush, and before such events as the Interfrat Ball and Homecoming. In April, frater- nity members traveled to Lincoln where they joined their brother chapter at the University of Nebraska for the annual initiation dinner, followed in May by the Max- well election dinner where new officers are announced. 156 First Row: E.

Joe Barmettler, President St. Thomas More Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta is a member of the largest national legal fraternity in the United States. It opened the school year by sponsoring a luncheon for all incoming freshmen to the Law school, and continued its social activities throughout the year with various parties and gather- ings. Last year two delegates from the Creighton chapter attended the National convention of the fra- ternity at Philadelphia. A few weeks after school opened the Pads initiated an interim seminar. An interim, for the information of those unfamiliar with legal terms is an examination give to freshman law students shortly after school opens. Members of the fraternity showed the students samples of possible exam questions, outlined the form of a law exam, and instructed the newcomers in the techniques of taking an interim test. The Creighton chapter was installed in 1950 for the purpose of uniting members of the law profession. 158 K Hi i n 8HH ' ; 1 1 I ■ - - 1 ■ 1 A i I , 4 First Row: J. Barmettler, F. Barrett, W.

Ron DiLeo, President Delta Sigma Delta, is the largest national dental fraternity in the United States. On the Creighton cam- pus it is well-represented by the Omega Chapter. The thirity-nine members are kept busy with monthly clinics presented by either the members themselves, alumni, or a local dental laboratory. In this way they succeed in contributing to the advanced services of the dental pro- fession. Socially, the Delts are one of the most active fraternities on campus. Special events included a dance at the Carter Lake Club in October, the senior dinner and the award dinner in the Spring. The Delts partici- pated actively in intramural sports. 160 First Row: H.

Managed by Zip Vice-President Mac Foley, the house is home away from home for sixteen future dentists. Close to the top of active organizations on campus, the Zips participate in special seminars, clinics and demonstrations pertain- ing to their profession. Notorious for their athletic prow- ess, they again this year copped the Interfrat football championship. The most memorable social event for the Zips this year was a Halloween masquerade party held at the Carter Lake Club. All in all, it was another big year for Xi Psi Phi. The patient seems to be the only one unconcerned by Doctor Emily ' s careful aim as engrossed Zips watch proceedings at a seminar. Dave Hoover, President 163 fe?0! Phi Rho Sigma Monthly seminars by doctors in the Omaha and Lincoln area are the main professional activity of Eta chapter of Phi Rho Sigma, national medical fraternity. The purposes of the fraternity are to promote good fel- lowship, to achieve a high standard of professional work and to assist in jhe advancement of its members. Each year a memorial seminar is dedicated to a deceased member of the fraternity. Besides these professional pro- jects, the Rhos hold small, informal parties through the year at their fraternity house. This year the an- nual dinner dance was held in April. To supplement their development of the whole man , the Rhos parti- cipated in intramural softball, baseball and football. 164 Bill Shutze. President First Row: J. Arens, A. Barnes, R. Brennan, P.

Fitzpatrick E. Kenney R. McLaughlin L. Noltemier B. Rudis J. Taylor The big stone house on Park Wilde Avenue was a beehive of activity this year when the members of Phi Beta Pi learned that forty of the seventy-six freshman medical students had pledged their national fraternity. Arrangements were made to obtain the house next door to handle the overflow of boarding members. The Betes unite twice a week for medical seminars and say a com- munity rosary each night. But the activity of Alpha Alpha chapter is not restricted to the professional and religious. Founder ' s Day was celebrated on March 9 at the Birchwood Club, and the annual Dinner Dance took place at the Town House in May. Besides these special events, the Betes also hold frequent informal parties at the fraternity house. Lectures by medical men, the pledge dinner and monthly Communion breakfast help to round out a busy schedule for these future medics. Herb Hagele, President 166 Phi Chi Chi Upsilon chapter of Phi Chi, international medi- cal fraternity, was founded at Creighton in 1916, mak- ing it one of the University ' s oldest fraternities. Its pur- pose is to promote ethics, honor and unity among its members in the medical profession. The Phi Chis ' pro- gram makes it possible for the actives to improve them- selves both professionally and socially. Medical seminars supplement the theory and practice learned in the class- room and clinic. Every year the Eben J. Carey Award is presented to the freshman with the highest grade in Anatomy. Another award is the Winged Foot , which goes to the member who has been outstanding in athletics. These awards are presented annually on Founder ' s Day, which the Chis celebrate with a dinner. Other social activities include dinners and parties held at the fra- ternity house on 33rd and Dodge. Joe Lawton, President R. Boken V. Carfagna W. Carroll W. Chandler J. Chard K. Conry J. Elston A.

This Kaufman-Hart comedy moved at a fast pace with its caustic lines and side-splitting repar- tee. Peg Blomstrom gave an outstanding performance as Annebelle, the practical wife of a city dreamer. George Hill played the part of the country slicker who takes ad- vantage of the impractical city-dweller, Newton Fuller, played by Bill Griffith. Bob Zill as the sponging Uncle Stanley, Cass Schrier as the daughter, and Tim Rouse as the villian, were good minor roles. The entire supporting cast gave a top notch performance. Behind the scenes of every play is a crew who work as hard as those in front of the footlights but their names never make the headlines. The Rev. Anthony P. Weber, S. J., spent hours in directing the Players. The rapidity with which the set was changed from a ramshackled farmhouse to a beautiful, modern, country home showed that the stage management was very competent. George Washington Uncle Stanley (Bob Zill) in a defunct financial condition, wages a war of wits with the frazzled Newton two-some. Annabelle Fuller, (Peg Blumstrom) sets voluptuous actress (Jo Lynn Askew) straight about the perils of country living. 184 Meet the cast. Front row: Bill Griffiths, Peg Blomstrom, Marian Schiel, Margie Lee, Bob Dolan and George Hill. Second Row: Jo Lynn Askew, Jim Watson and Bob Zill. Newton Fuller (Bill Griffith) and Kimber (George Hill) have a meeting of the minds at the Fuller castle. Slept Here Newton discusses birds, flowers and farms with his ornithologist neighbors, (Margaret Huse), as Annabelle fumes in the background. 185 They got me! Sudden pain and horror mark the face of Bill Griffiths as he dies dramatically after being shot from behind. A rock shatters the peaceful silence in the Van Gorder residence and the cast rises to the occasion. Mark Czechut displays his talent as a judo artist by tossing Bill Wolff over his shoulder while Fred Celsi looks on approvingly. The Bat The all-student production of The Bat highlighted the activities of the Creighton Players for the first se- mester. The Bat , an old chestnut of the whodunit series, was adapted for the stage by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood. Sharon Leison donned the lead costume of Cornelia Van Gorder, an elderly spinster who eventual- ly traps the Bat, a rather annoying robber and mur- derer. Fred Celsi dropped his role as student dentist long enough to assist the Players in the title role. He earned credit and admiration from the audience for his able per- formance. Supporting roles gave Verna Russell, Jo Lynn Askew and George Belitz a chance to show their talents. Other members of the cast included, Bill Griffiths. Mark Czechut, Rick Wilhoit, Bill Wolff and Rex Fleming. Behind the scenes John Fogarty ruled with an iron hand as the first student director Creighton has seen in many years. He received much assistance from Father Anthony Weber. S.J., Jim Watson, Carol Glidden. Mary Ann Smedes, and many other members of the club. The ancient auditorium, a perfect setting for a thriller such as this, held a disappointingly small au- dience the three nights that the play ran. Those present, however, were given the opportunity to see what stu- dents could accomplish through a concerted effort. 186 The non-chalance of the detective (Fred Celsi) seems to be affecting the other members of the cast, Jo Askew, Sharon Leisen and Verna Russell in various ways. Crime does not pay. The bat is foiled and the audience is surprised when the cast reveals Who dunit, exposing the so-called detective as the real culprit. 187 All eyes look straight ahead as Father Kelley presents the Distinguished Military Student Badge to Cadet Lieutenant Colonel John C. Slaughter. 188 189 Military Staff Every Creighton man, unless he is a veteran or has a severe case of fallen arches, gathers some smattering of military knowledge during the four years he spends on the Hilltop. Some fail to be inspired by rifles, reveille and regiments and drop by the wayside after their two years of required training in the Creighton University Reserve Officers Training Corps is completed. Others gain an enthusiasm and interest for the mil- itary and become four year students who graduate with the rank of second lieutenant in the United States Army. The future officer learns how to be a military leader by studying battle tactics, learning the care for and use of weapons and has a month of practical experience at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. There he lives, day and night, the life of a soldier in the field and becomes prac- ticed in the all-important business of defense, self-preser- vation, and conquest. Now under the direction of Lieutenant Colonel Daniel B. Adams, the ROTC Department continues in its work of developing the military corps to capacity in order that Creightonians, present and future, may look forward with confidence to a peaceful and protected tomorrow. ■ l.  • ■ « . s . k .

Here three of them are thinking of their futures. After a hard day of dodging books and teach- ers, the hall boys relax before the television set. Burma Shave and Mennens is not the greatest combination at eight o ' clock in the morning. Deglman Hall This is the youngest and architecturally speaking, the finest of the dorms on campus and the first step, together with the Student Center in Creighton ' s ten year building program. Deglman rises five stories above Cali- fornia Street, boasts it own chapel, recreation room and laundry. At night after a long day of classes its mem- bers can be seen watching television, over books at their desks, or on their knees for night prayers in the chapel. This year the float from Deglman Hall won second prize in the Homecoming Parade. The boys presented their own queen, twelve year old Sandra Thomsen, daughter of Coach Tommy Thomsen, to the rest of the campus. They promised to make the selection of royalty to represent Deglman Hall an annual event. Mass is said in the chapel every Sunday and is always open for the boys to go in and say a few prayers. This looks like a very uncomfortable position, but to one who has lived in Deglman Hall, it is the finest. Two students, looking as if they were consulting an Ouiya board are actually searching for knowledge in Webster ' s New Standard. Time out once a night for cigarettes and bull is a good idea. One should never let one ' s studies interfere with one ' s education. Music helps sooth the nerves and makes for an atmosphere conducive to studying. Is this what these fellows have in mind? Don ' t let the cover fool you. He ' s actually studying some very deep philosophical ideas. Far away places with strange sounding names don ' t seem to hold the attentions of this student at this time. This formula for comfort, if allowed in the class room, would meet with much approval. Wareham Hall Inventiveness, imagination, and energy are qual- i ties which have always been displayed by fresh- men since the advent of time in terms of the uni- versity. These traits are not reserved to, and some times do not even pertain to study, but often spill out into extracurricular activities. The boys from Wareham are ample proof of this trend in first- year men. Wareham, the largest boys ' dorm, with 93 boarders, has for the last four years been the home of the president of the freshman class. To show that this ability does not fall on one in- dividual, concerted effort during the past four years has copped first prize for Wareham in the Homecoming dorm decorations contests. Under the leadership of Father Quinn. Wareham Hall can again look back on another achievement-filled year, a year of hard work but reward to everyone. Yes. Wareham offers the finest of art forms to each and every one who shows an interest. Wareham moderator. Father Quinn, would be in line for first prize if a popularity contest were to be held. And someone had the unmittigated gall to put itching powder in my Mermen ' s talc! The formula for a burnt handkerchief is; one slide-rule, one history book, one hot iron and three disinterested students. This early morning escapee from the League of Na- tions knocks ort the windows and peeks in the doors. Three new freshmen meet one of the time-worn senior proctors who introduces them to some of the rules and regulations. Another introduction, and the other fresh- men get acquainted with the local news. Performing delicate brain operations with fingernail clippers has its hazards, as this future mad medical is about to discover. Bowling Hall One of the more interesting experiences in the introduction of a freshman to university life is his early adjustment to living in a dorm. Here for the first time he is quartered with other people in his own age bracket. Eventually he will learn to get along with people of every environment. At Dowling a first-year man may at any time of the day or night be dumped fully-dressed into a very wet shower, or, he might step into a bed which minutes before had been thoughfully sprinkled with sugar by his now-missing roommates. Do- mestic talents are developed rapidly as those with greater skill are pressed into service instructing rank amateurs in the finer points of ironing a shirt. The publication with the widest circulations in the dorm is Mad, and the very greatest calam- ity is the always unwarranted week-end campus. Moderator, Father McGloin, receives the parents of new students each year. Sharp as the nose cone of a rocket, this junior-grade MacArthur shows promise of becoming a leading force in the world of ROTC. Creighton ' s answer to Elvis and Tom Dooly strums out a ditty for the enthralled, yet captive, audience. The Dowling boys have always shown esprite de corps as this animated Tuesday musical grouping shows. 199 Betty Weichman and Angie Morand receive hints on hosekeeping from Bobbie Kramer. Lynn Urie, Clara La Sala and Judy Niederriter strike that is it for me pose when the telephone rings. Noonan Hall The reading habits in Noonan, though not very uniform, are consistent. Elaine Jacobsen, Marian Martin, and Mary McCormick look and learn. Noonan Hall is the only girls ' dormitory on campus other than Edward Hall that can boast home-rule. Two very competent proctors act as a housemother and they keep everything running smoothly. Located across the street from the Dentistry School, Noonan vied for school honors with the neighboring freshman dorm. Sarah Emily. The result was most definitely a tie. One of the Inter- Frat princesses, Betty Weichman. hailed from Noonan. This home for the upperclass coeds maintained its tradition and stayed very much before the pub- lic eye as one of the leading dorms on campus. Agnew Hall Housing forty-two girls this year, Agnew Hall is the largest women ' s dormitory on campus and offers its members the opportunity to make many friends and to meet a variety of personalities. In the evening the girls, who range from fresh- man through seniors, like to relax by watching television or playing hearts, the latest card fad in the house. With such great numbers living to- gether, unusual incidents are bound to occur be- yond the crackers in bed and short-sheetings which go on in every dorm. This year the entire third floor was almost completely flooded when one of the girls slipped on the stairs and fell against the fire extinguisher. This collision sent water spurting in all directions, threatening everyone in the im- mediate vicinity with a sudden and watery demise. Such is dormitory life in Agnew Hall.

It ' s the wail of the youngest of the frosh coeds in Mary Hall, the Freshman dorm. But it didn ' t take long for the 19 young ladies to adjust to community life in a campus home. Pounding out term papers, grinding for tests and keeping up with daily lessons took the larger portions of their time not spent in class. Scramb- ling for the washing machine, popping corn for the gang, vying with one another for the house canasta championship and carrying the school hon- ors took-up their leisure hours. Life was new and exciting. The first year in college and each day was a wonderful page of adventure for these coeds.

Surreptitious ice box raiding is not an infrequent night-time activity. The girls also claim that their specialty, french fried onions, are the best to be found anywhere. Edward Hall also boasts a fine rec. room where the girls can go to unwind their nerves after a hard day of class-cutting. 204 n Carol Ulsafer, Jackie Wagner and Jean Dinslage check and change the scandal board news.

The Bluejays opened the year with an 83 1 2 to 47 1 2 victory over Dana College and the C. U. thinclads thus let it be known early that they would have to be reckoned with. Led by Ed Hubbard, Don Kapustka, Leo Mc- Carthy, Denny Dunning, Len Marousek, and Pat Lenihan, the Bluejays ended the season with a very respectable three win, three loss record. In the most exciting dual meet of the season, the Bluejays overcame a 6 1 2 point Midland College lead to win the final events and edge the lads from Fremont 68 2 3 to 67 1 3. The team was a fine tribute to the coaching abilities of Dudley Allen and his able assistants. Many records in dual meet competition were broken — and big Don Ka- pustka broke the all time Creighton University shot-put record. With the nucleus of this team returning for another year of competition, prospects were bright. He missed this time, but he came close. Such was the thrilling ac- tion the trackman gave in boosting the Bluejay stock in the track season. At the finish and the winner is going away! This shot was snapped during one of the dual meets held on the Hilltop. 209 Baseball Nebraska College Conference Champs! Trip to NAIA finals at Alpine, Texas. These were the awards reaped by the 1958 Bluejay baseball team. John Bolamperti (.338), Bill Connolly (.348), Tom Connelly (.370), Roger Rosenquist (.292), George Kocsis (.317), Don Barry (.304) — these were the regulars on a hard-hitting and tight-fielding Creighton club. Add a splendid mound corps consisting of Wayne Muenster, Mike Hellman, John Putnam, and Jim Berry. These athletes were the reason the Jays compiled a 15-3 record excluding the Texas playoffs. And give orchids to Bill Fitch who built a very re- spectable club after losing such men as Bob Gib- son, Don Brummer, and Ted Thull from the year before. Thus was the 1958 diamond season, the most successful sports venture of the year.

Golf Though not high on the sport ' s agenda at Creighton, the Bluejays did field a golf team. Playing on the links in the 1958 season for C. U. were Jim Giesler, John Kilbride, Jim Bates, Dick Wilhoit, Mark Ryan, and Tom Crowell. Kilbride was the spark of the team dropping only one match during the season.

' 213 Intramural Football « ' f M ■  ■ — y ' • ! — i . ■« . y T-. v 1 1 . • K . ' - T 1 - Football — the top-interest intramural sport! Again, as in the past, football drew wide interest not only from the participants, but also from a great majority of the student body. Although it was only touch football, the going got rough and tough when the chips were down — and good, keen competition featured all three league frays. Nineteen teams participated in the program this year. The Deglman Irish went through the Inter- hall League undefeated and annexed the cham- ionship. Winning the Independent League were the Six Packs with a 5-1 record. Zips, continuing to dominate the Interfrat League, again ruled the roost with a 7-0-1 league mark. The Six Packs, a team composed of ex-Creighton Prep- sters, went on to eventually take the all-school championship. The Irmaknights, winners of the laurels one year ago had to settle for second place in the Independent League this year be- hind the high-flying Six Packs. Such was the ac- tion in the exciting intramural competition. A defensive coach ' s dilemna! The pass receiver got behind the defenders and picked up considerable yardage. Suppose those three were benched? Everything looks calm now, but in about two seconds, the scrimmage line became a conglomeration of tangled bodies of football heroes blocking the defenders who were trying to maul the ball carrier. 214 jfa The protection on the right is fine, but if the passer didn ' t see the steamliner ' approaching from the left, chances are he wouldn ' t have been able to pose so nicely for another picture. How that ball got through that big pair of hands is quite a mystery, but it did and the completed pass went for a considerable pickup of yardage.

These seven men were members of the two teams from Creighton that finished first and second in the Fifth Army Area out of the 114 teams, and third and fifth in the nation out of 843 college teams entered from all over the United States in last year ' s William Randolph Hearst National Trophy Rifle Match. This season, four members of Creighton ' s Rifle team have concluded careers that have brought many honors to the University. The seniors are team captain Bill Schie- bel, Kent Weber. Jim Tanner and John Slaughter. During the four years that these men have been shooting for Creighton. the University has compiled a record of 68 wins and 10 losses in shoulder-to-shoulder competition. This record includes 18 wins and 5 losses against collegi- ate competition and 5 wins and 5 losses in the Intercity Rifle League. Creighton has won the Intercity champion- ship the past two years and are leading the league this year with ten victories and no defeats. Other members of the team are juniors Jerry Burkholder and Don Cleve- land, and sophomores Merrill Kullbom and Jim Brady.

Tennis learn Coached by Dr. Joseph R. Kupcek, the 1958 Creigh- ton Tennis Team entered competition with a schedule that included the University of Nebraska, the University of South Dakota, Morningside College, Omaha University and Doane College. Captained by Frank Bemis, team members were Jim Belitz, George Thompson, Mike Wea- ver, Jack Belitz, Mark Manhart and Bill Fitzgerald. Even in swimming, there ' s a certain way of doing things and Coach Bill O ' Hearn whips his tankers through a typical drill. Swimming learn Under the experienced and highly-critical eye of Coach Bill O ' Hearn, Creighton ' s swimming team compil- ed a record of two wins and six losses in a season that marked the Bluejays debut into intercollegiate swimming. The Creighton Team traded splashes with the University of Nebraska, Grinnell College, Fort Hayes State Teachers College, Emporia State Teachers College, and Pittsburgh State Teachers College. Perhaps one of the most important contributions to the varsity swimming team was the high- ly-spirited contests which highlighted the intramural swimming meets and from which many of the members of the varsity club were drawn. The swimming team drew surprisingly good response and the pleasing personality of Coach O ' Hearn undoubtedly created an added interest. 219 Jays End Successful Season With 13-9 Record J. V.

The Bluejays completed the 1958-59 season with a record of 13 wins and nine losses. In 1956-57, the Jays were 15 and six, and in 1946-47, under Eddie Hickey, Creighton ' s record was 19 and eight. The little guy (S 1 ) who played a big part in Creighton ' s latest winning season was Senior Jim Berry, team captain and a starting guard in all 22 games. He was second in team scoring with a total of 277 points and a per game average of 12.59. His free throw percentage of 77.9 was the best of the club. His two big mates were Dick Harvey and Dick Hart- niann. Harvey, the Jays ' junior pivot, led the scoring with 296 points. He competed in only 21 games, so his average was 14.1 points per contest. Harvey, at 6 ' 7 , and Hartman at 6 ' 8 battled to a draw in the team rebounding race. Each grabbed 228 rebounds. However, because of playing one less game, Harvey ' s per game average topped Hartmann ' s 10.86 to 10.36. Harvey showed the greatest consistency from the field as 46 per cent of his field goal attempts resulted in a Creighton score. Hartman managed to pull into third place in Creighton scoring with 226 points on 90 field goals and 46 free throws. His field goal shooting was second only to Harvey for accuracy. He successfully converted 42.9 per cent. The Blue Jays ' season opened with easy victories over two unimpressive quintets. The Marquette game at the Civic Auditorium, despite a 53-49 loss to one of the top- ranked teams in the nation, demonstrated the real po- tential of this year ' s squad. The games completing the ' 58 half of the season showed definite inconsistency. Losses to Marquette for the second time and Loyola of Chicago were the low points of December. The new year opened on a sour note with losses on the road to the University of South Dakota and Kansas State Teachers College. In the traditional Omaha University game, Creighton handled the Indians easily, 59-48. On the eastern swing, the Jays knocked off Cornell and St. Michael ' s, but took two hard-luck losses on the chin from Loyola of Baltimore and Canisius. Three consecutive home games in February proved the Jays to be the ball club they really are. A 59-57 loss to Loyola of Chicago was disappointing but gave the team the lift they needed to carry them through the rest of the season. The most exciting game of the year, a double overtime victory over the University of South Dakota, as well as a win over Kansas State Teachers, both to whom they had pre- viously yielded losses, bolstered the Jays. After a loss to the Air Force Academy, the Jays closed the season in convincing style with a return match and victory over Omaha University and wins over North Cen- tral College and South Dakota State. An interesting sidelight on Creighton ' s season was the unpredictable nature of the foul calls. In games against Monmouth College, St. Michael ' s of New Mexico and Marquette University a total of only 24 fouls were assessed against both teams, all three games played in Omaha. On the road the low mark was at the University of South Dakota where a total of only 22 fouls were call- ed. On the other hand, in the games against the Univer- sity of Omaha referees charged the teams with totals of 45 and 50 personal fouls.

Behind the 13 issues published each semester the untold tale of the city editor screaming about deadlines, reporters wearily tracking down facts, artists sweating out ideas, and photographers wondering what ' s wrong with the developing solution. It all adds up to a paper which has won an award from the Omaha Advertising Club for five consecutive years — a paper which can hold it own when compared with other college publications. Dave Haberman, director of the journalism department, alternately scolds, cajoles, encourages, and pleads with the editors and reporters to make the paper what it is. One of the biggest stories covered this year was that on General Albert C. Wedemeyer. The retired Army gen- eral had a special interview with The Creightonian staff on U. S. policies. A first for The Creightonian was the best dressed coed contest won by Jean Gurnett.

To the staff it was a big job but it was a very enjoyable one. This year ' s book is the largest yet at Creighton, having 254 pages. The staff has spent nearly 11 months on the planning of this book. The first draft was completed in September and was adhered to very closely for the rest of the year. Nearly 1500 pictures were taken and approximately 500 of these were used. Several new features were added this year. The Uni- versity and the Communitv section is devoted to the men and women who, through their efforts while at Creighton, make the community a better place to live. The full-color views of the campus are a new addition to the Blue Jay and it is hoped that they will be well received. We of the staff also hope that you will like the presentation of the year. We have tried to portray your life here at Creighton ; the day you registered, the convocation, the Homecoming parade, and the Prom to mention a few. These are events in which you participated and we hope that they will be a living memory of your year at Creighton. We wish to thank the many students and faculty who helped us through the year and who, through their ad- vice, helped make this a better yearbook. Phil Smith Photographer Ellen Olson Copy Editor Ida Coleman Index 235 The 1959 Blue Jay Advisors The invaluable assistance of the Blue Jay advisors was deeply appreciated by everyone on the staff. Mr. James Arnold, instructor in the department of journalism acted as moderator and advisor and gave us many good tips and suggestions. Our purchasing agent, Mr. Bud Brug- genhemke, was always on hand to iron out all financial problems, and to provide the business acumen necessary in the production of a yearbook. To both of these men who cheerfully contributed their time and knowledge, we of the Blue Jay staff say Thank you! James Arnold Blue Jay Advisor L. B. Bud Bruggenhemke Purchasing Agent 236 The Law Post The Creighton Law Post, published under the sponsor- ship of The Student Bar Association, is a relatively new addition to the intellectual stimuli at Creighton. It first appeared in 1956 as a modest information sheet of interest mainly to law students. Since then, under the guidance of Editor Renne Edmunds, assisted by staff men Bill Davis, John McEvoy and Jim McNally, The Post has become a mouthpiece for law students, reflecting their opinions and providing the means for articulate law stu- dent participation in all campus affairs. Bill Davis with the assistance of Renne Edmunds, the editor of The Law Post, prepare the master copy for the bi-monthly publication. George Bousselaire, John McEvoy, Roger Schulte, and Jim McNally review the last issue of The Law Post and discuss the different topics to be written for the forthcoming issue. 237 The Credo oi Creijpifon We believe in God. We believe in the personal dignity of man. We believe that man has certain rights which come from God and not from the State. We therefore are opposed to all forms of dictatorship holding that the total man (totalitarianism) belongs to the State. We believe in the sanctity of the home — the basic unit of society. We believe in the natural right of private property, but likewise that private property has its social obligations. We believe that Labor has not only its rights but also obli- gations. We believe that Capital has not only its rights but also obli- gations. We are vigorously opposed to all forms of racism — perse- cution or intolerance because of race. We believe that liberty is a sacred thing, but that law, which regulates liberty, is a sacred obligation. We believe in inculcating all the essential liberties of American Democracy and take open and frank issue with all brand of spurious democracy . We believe, briefly, in the teachings of Christ, who held that morality must regulate the personal, family, economic, political and international life of men if civilization is to endure. An Apposite Plaudit As I look back over the last 11 months, about all that I can remember that is worth remembering is having spent a lot of time with some mighty fine people. There might have been some exasperating moments, some dis- appointing moments, these I do not remember, but I do have a living and warm memory of the spirit of working together among the six or seven individuals that gave their heart and soul to make this 1959 Blue Jay a success. I remember our first staff meeting in last May with John Fogarty, Mary Hood, Dave Ferrari, and Pat Man- gan. It was at these simple meetings that the groundwork for the 1959 Blue Jay was laid. While John, Mary, Dave and I discussed the theme for the yearbook, Pat Marr- gan sat idly by in her quiet, unassuming manner and sketched the Administration Building as if for something better to do. But her efforts weren ' t in vain for the cov- er of the book was conceived on that day. There were many meetings over the summer and by September the first dummy of the book had been made. The first staff meeting in September, where nearly 25 students came in and offered their support — and where about ten remained for the year. But it was the efforts of these ten that made this book. The evening that you, dear Ellen, came bustling in and asked if there was something to do. I mentioned that the Foreword hadn ' t been written and you took this assignment and came back with one of the most well written pieces of the entire book. But Ellen Olson, you didn ' t just write the Foreword, for many pieces of writing in this book are yours and it is a better book because of it. The few times that you would storm out of the office in irate disgust, I will never forget. But you came back and you would always do a better job on your return. And to you, Mary Hood, my associate editor, we all owe a great debt. Yours was a big job. Your uncanny ability for details, your willingness to accept any job that had to be done helped make this book. The many days throughout the whole year that you came in the office and said, Hi, boss, have you got anything for me to do to- day? We nearly always did and your willingness to do them will always be appreciated. You, Mary Ann Voeller, my assistant editor, did a great job on the layout. I could always tell that you were coming when I heard your fast little walk in the hallway. Your ability to lay up a section in a matter of a few hours will always amaze me. If we had a Miss Efficiency Award I believe that it would be yours for you always knew how long it would take to do a thing and you always had it done. Many thanks, Mary Ann. Ida Coleman, you too played a great part in this book. Yours was a job that few would relish, but you did a fine job on the index. The index is probably the most tedious and thankless job of the whole book but you did it and did it well. There was never a complaint to be heard nor did I ever hear you ask for any help. I always ad- mired your quiet unassuming manner when you were working on this job and what a pleasure it was to work with you. I want to thank you, Sister Paschala, for all the help that you gave us on the writing when the going was tough. When a deadline had to be met, I could always count on your having your material in on time. Your thoughtful- ness and cheerful attitude was an inspiration for all of us. And you, Phil Smith, I do want to thank you for all the help that you gave me on the photography. You did a commendable job on the sports pictures and when there was an evening I wanted to take off, I could always de- pend on you for the group picture that had to be taken. Thanks again, Phil, you made the job a lot easier for me. But not all of this book was done by students. Mr. Bud Bruggenhemke, I want to thank you for all the help that you gave me on the financial end of the book. Your office was always open to me and I always appreci- ated all the help you gave me on the specifications, con- tracts, and the many details that had to be worked out. (continued on next page) 239 Mr. Jim Arnold, your help and advice was very much appreciated. Your idea that we should learn by our mis- takes was very good advice I shall always feel. You gave the entire staff that feeling that it was our book and that we should do it the way we thought best. I believe that this increased the spirit on the entire staff for we all had the feeling that it was really a student project. One thing that I will miss very much is my daily visit with you, Mr. Abe Olander. You did a fine job on pro- cessing all the pictures that were taken for this book. I ' ll never forget what you reminded me of so often, You get it on the film, kiddo, and I ' ll get it off. We tried to get it on and you always got it off for us. I helieve that the printing quality of the book we all owe in large to Mr. LeRoy Brock and his able staff at the Hurley Company. Your advice and help, Mr. Brock, will always be appreciated. There are many others who also gave us a great deal of their time. Harry Dolphin in Public Relations, we are indebted for your help and advice. Father Moriarty, your advice on the writing and pictures was invaluable. The Deans and their assistants were very good to us and their help was of great aid. And to you students who often asked how we were getting along or would stop in and see us, you gave us all a shot in the arm. It probably didn ' t seem to you to be much help but it was because of your confidence in us, that lifted the morale and kept it high during the entire year. To all of you, who have contributed to the ' 59 Blue Jay, be proud of your creation. You sacrificed your time, and gave unselfishly of your ability and energy. The pic- tures are yours, the copy is yours, and together we built a yearbook. Working with all of you on this 1959 Blue Jay has been the most memorable experience of my life. Thanks again to all of you for making it so. Patrick Shaughnessy 240 FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION INDEX Adams, Lt. Col. Daniel B 55,190 Allison, Capt. Chas. C 190 Bishop, Rev.
