N DEDICATION We would come, ordinarily to speak of those to whom we dedicate this annual. But rather, this year we shall listen . . . listen to the voices that tell their story far more clearly than we could depict in our own words. We shall listen to the laughter, the gripes, the discussions and the arguments ; hear the voices of more normal college years. We hear the long-welcomed tones of HHi, Iim. When did ya get out? . . . Coming back to educate himself for a world that sadly needed just that. But we hear only the sad- dened echoes of those who didn't come backt'. We hear and we feel the throb and the pulse, the surging spirit that flows through the rooms and the halls. Their books, their thoughts and ideas, their search for the Hbest . the youth that live and will die in the ideals of the same christian culture and educa- tion that they bear in their souls today. So to those of whom De Paul is justly proud to call her own, to those who carry De Paui in their hearts and souls, to the students of De Paul, we dedicate this book. S .

FOREWORD This past year at De Paul Univer- sity will be remembered by the stu- dents and faculty as a year bearing many changes. It was a year of joy to see the war's end; to see the return of hundreds of veterans. Throughout the wcrr years De Paul maintained its high standards of edu- cation, in spite of cm accelerated schedule. Today the University is set- tling down once again to the peace- time program, which is accompanied by the revival of many activities. This volume represents a sincere effort to record for you, its readers, the activities at De Paul throughout the scholastic year of 1945-1946. The pur- pose of the De PauIian is to aid you in recalling these days for many years to come e days Which brought a new seriousness in study; new happiness in social life,- new acquaintances: all of which combined to enrich our lives. Twin Spires of St. Vincent De Paul Church The Observatory CAMPUS BEA UTY On the Uptown Cam- pus are found the Admin- istration Building, the Auditorium, St, Vincent's Church, the Academy Building, and the Liberal Arts and Science Build; ings. The Downtown Campus repeats similar departments within one central building. Thus we find De Paul's campus beauty both inwardly and out- wardly impressive. Interior, St. Vincent's Church .m' '4qu M1 Uptown Liberal Arts Building UPTUWN CAMPUS De Paul's North Side Campus and Downtown skyscraper build- ing are bound together by a spirit of unity felt by both the students and faculty. Many students are found attending classes and mak- ing friends on both campuses; such is the De Paul family's ability to find a common ground. Both schools are hubs of activity throughout the day and into the evening. The two campuses are joined by the Elevated and the Subway' and students frequently Administration Building and Library commute between the two Chicago 4: areas. .; ruymaW Uptown Science Building O NIH!!! a u. AND AT THE DOWNTOWN LOOP CAMPUS Few universities have the distinc- tion which is De Paul's in its spirit of friendliness. This attitude is found in every member of the University's large family. Wherever one turns, whether it be in the direction of the highest faculty member or to the lust student enrolled, De Paul's ttfriendly smile is always evident; and thus are many life-time friendships originated. . 2: nu in mg l6 , . r: all.

Each professor is of the highest caliber in his field of study, and, as such, he endeavors to send forth graduates who are well fitted for the immediate goals of their choice. The best in education is a phrase de- scriptive of De Paul. Britton I. Budd BOARD OF TRUSTEES The management of the University is com- mitted to the Board of Trustees who Hpromote the general welfare and odvoncement of the University . This year there occurred the for- motion of a Board of Loy Trustees, the mem- bers of Which were carefully chosen from among the leaders in commerce, finance, in- dustry, and the professions In their capacity as loy board members they are able, in the words of Britton I. Budd, Hto perform c1 task which the priests and faculty cannot do . The loy trustees are of Hinvoluoble service to De Paul because of their specialized knowledge of its business aspects . Also on the Board are the president, vice- president, and comptroller of the University, and the president of the Alumni Association, who are members eX-otticio. To advise on educational plans and poli- cies as requested, to advise on budgets, exe penditures, and operations of the University, to cooperate with the officers of the University in developing short- and long-ronge plans for building up the physical facilities of the Uni- versity and financing such developments, and to advance the University in its relations with the public, ore some of the purposes of the Board. It is not difficult to comprehend the vital port that this group of men plays in the ottoin- ment of the success and prestige of De Paul University. Members of the Board will normally serve for a term of three years. However, this orig-- inol loy Board is divided into three groups of men, serving terms of one, two and three years so as to provide annual election of five new trustees to the Board. Officers will be CI choir- mon, vice-choirmon, secretory, and treasurer, who Will serve for one year. Members of the De Paul University Board of Trustees ore: The Very Reverend Comerford I. O'Malley, C.M., S.T.D., President; Reverend Edward I. Kommer, C.M., Ph.D., Vice-President; Mr David M. Shorer, A.M., C.P.A., Comptroller,- Mr. Stacy W. Osgood, President of the Alumni Association; Mr. Britton I. Budd, Mr William F. Clarke, Mr. Bernard I. Fallon, Mr. Stanley P. Forwell, Mr. Cornelius I. Harrington, Mr. John F. Monnionl Mr. Iomes I.

Wm; ; x His Eminence, The Most Reverend Samuel Cardinal Stritch,D.D. Archbish op of Chicago CARDINAL STRITGH To his Eminence, Samuel Cardinal Stritch, the students of De Paul University humbly ex- tend their sincerest and most hecrtfelt cori- gratulations on his designation to the College of Cardinals. It is, indeed, the highest of all personal honors and dignity given to him by our Holy Father, Pius XII. But perhaps greater is the honor that has been bestowed on our City and its citizens. The distinction that has come to Chicago and in particular, to De Paul is unique in that so large a flock shall be guided by a Prince of such moral, cultural, and charitable ideals. May Chicago follow his stcr of success! Over a year ago the Very Rever- end Comerford I. O'Malley, C.M., S.T.D., succeeded the Very Reverend Michael I. O'Connell, C.M., S.T.D., to become the seventh President of De Paul University. Every student knows THE VERY REVERENII CUMEHFORD l. U'MALLEY, RM, S.T.D. Father O'Malley's friendly smile and manner around the campus; many know him as a former teacher and friend. Interest in the welfare of every student, ability in administration, and sincerity are well-known character- istics of our President. His sanction given to the endeavors of those in activities was a real stimulus to further efforts. , mvmmutmmkns . THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE This first Yearbook since 1943 joins its predecessors as an abiding record of religious, academic, social, and athletic events of an- other year in the torty-eight years of De Paul. The faculty and student personnel have changed over these decades; the activities, perhaps with some modern refinements, re- main constant. Certainly the spirit which inspired the Htounding Fathers't of De Paul lives today in the minds and hearts of all De Paulites of .7945 ., , this spirit of service to God, His Church, and our beloved Country. The tragic years just past remind this generation that the horrors ot our times would never have afflicted the world ii men every- where were tired by the spirit identified with the tradition of De Paul. For that spirit is founded upon the basic Christian concepts, unaltered and unaiterabie throughout the ages, of equity to all men, irrespective of ethnic origin, and ot a constant and non-discrimina- tory charity which recognizes in the individual, whatever his race or color, the Himage and likeness of God. Such a spirit accords to all an esteem and a love not measured by the accident of birth or social position. Founded on these unchanging principles ot Christ, the educational policy of De Paul rejects a1! philosophies e- ancient and modem a which reduce an individual or group of individuals to the level of mere economic en- tities subject to the whim or force or prejudice of any political or social system. Rather does it insist on the unity of mankind e one in origin, nature, and destiny e and tor this reason insists upon respect for man's innate rights. It is the sincere hope of the Administration that the graduates of 1946, and the students of this generation, may assist in the reconstruc- tion of the social order by living in harmony with these high ideals of De Paul.

VETERANS' ADMINISTRATION An outgrowth of World War 11 is the Vet- erans' Affairs Council, of Which Mr. Dean Cornell is Coordinator. At the time of the Council's organization in the fall of 1944 there were 105 veterans at De Paul, in September of 1945, 505, and in February of this year, 1800, all of Whom have been Hprocessed by the VAC upon entering the University.

Coordinator Veterans' Administration at Hines Hospital, Hines, Illinois. Dr. Egan, during his term in this position, established the initial contact with the Veter- ans' Administration and carried on the coun- seling program for veterans as well as the administrative functions having to do With this office. Among Mr. Cornell's duties are determin- ing whether the vets qualify under the GI Bill and Rehabilitation Law and counseling them in matters of personal and adjustment problems. Mr. Cornell advises an incoming vet on entrance requirements. The Alumni Association of De Paul University hcrs completed or very active year in 1945-46. The association is a Closely knit, well-integrated organiza- tion having a threefold purpose in its existence and activities. This purpose is spiritual, cultural and social and in pursuance of this goal, the organiza- tion furthers the ultimate aim of foster- ing the best interests of De Paul. The association fulfills its spiritual goals by attempting to keep graduates Closely allied With the Church after their graduation. In the cultural vein, the Alumni try to add something to the cultural life of the graduate through lecture series and similar activities. The social activities are various. Class din- ners, class reunions, college group reunions e all are part of the group's activities. Among other activities, The cameraman catches the committee of the Annual Alumni Stag event in the De Paul Auditorium. ALUMNI were the tournaments sponsored by the organization: the annual golf tour- nament, and the bowling tournaments. On April 29 the Alumni held the Annual Class Reunion Stag in the Auditorium With their usual success- ful results. A style show on October 19 will be held strictly for the alumnae. The success of the association may be attributed to its director, the Rev- erend F. Coupal, C.M., and to its officers: Stacey Osgood, president; A1 Sisco, vice-president; Margaret Ridge, secretary,- and Marjorie VosBurgh, treasurer.

A short distance from St. Vincent's Church and the Academy we find the buildings in which Christian education in its finest aspects is brought to the youth of today. As peace reigned anew, the Uptown school saw the return of many veterans bring- ing new students and old to the halls of learn- ing. A new peak in enrollment was reached, accompanied by a more serious attitude toward studies. Many other changes were seen in both the curriculum and faculty members. This year the College of Liberal Arts relaxed the neces- sary step-up program and returned to its peacetime semester schedule, although the standards remained at the peak throughout all changes. The duties of the Dean of the College are carried out most capably by the Reverend Theodore Wcmgler, C.M., M.A., who is well- Rev. Iohn R. Arthur Svoboda, Cortelyou. C.M., M.S. M.S. 8 AND SCIENCES known to De Paul students. Through Fr. Wangler's able direction the transit from war to peacetime schedule was affected in a smooth manner. The Reverend Glenn A. Zoellner, C.M., former Dean, held the office of Student Coun- selor until illness made it necessary for him to leave, at which time Mr. Willard Munzer assumed the duties of counselor. Taking over the office of Director of Stu- dent Activities, the Reverend Gerald M. Mullen, C.M., performed his duties efficiently and his genial manner and able direction brought activities up to a new standard. His cooperation and sincere interest in all func- tions enabled the students to benefit to the utmost through extra-curricular activities, and thereby, helped them to learn through play as well as work.

Kammer, C.M., Ph.D., Dean HE E HAL A 't During the late afternoon and eve- ning hours and on Saturday mornings, one finds a new group of students crowding the halls of the De Paul Loop Building. The Downtown Liberal Arts College has enlarged its enrollment to a great extent this year due to the influx of hundreds of veterans. This College allows its students the advantage of three regular quarters of study, from the middle of September to . early June. In addition, any student antonio Rublo' Ph'D' may attend the Summer Session in Which Classes are offered during the morning hours as well as the evening. The Downtown College extends its service to three Classes of students; Rev. Pius I. William H. Maehl. Cecil B. Williams, Barth. O.F.M., Ph.D. M.A. Pb.D. Iumes Orphan, law school student. and Miss Brink. switchboard operator of the Downtown School. S AND SCIENCES first, to those Who are unable to attend the regular day division, who Wish to matriculate as candidates for a bachelor's degree; second, to those qualified students Who Wish course in- struction along the specialized lines of their avocational interests; and third, to those adult students Who Wish to enrich the intellectual aspects of their personalities without reference to spe- cific degrees. In addition to these three groups are found many day division Rev, Joseph G- students who wish to add to their curri- Phoenlx' C'M Ph'D' culum. Thus we find in the evening division a great variety of students - the young and older are mixed; many races and creeds are found; and relig- ious and lay students' views are pre- Ruth W. Mikesell.

A stu- dent body such as this, one eager to learn, and the distinguished faculty that is De Paul's combine to form a rounded education that is equal to that of any other college or university. The Dean of the College is the Reverend Edward I. Kammer, C.M., Ph.D., who is also the Chairman of the Sociology department. Through his efforts the Evening Liberal Arts Divi- sion has continued to offer a complete and well-balanced curriculum. The Registrar is the very capable John C. McHugh, the University Examiner. Several new instructors have been added to the teaching staff, a few of Whom are: Reverend I. I. Hagen, O.P., instructor in philosophy; Reverend Pius I. Barth, O.P.M., PhD, assistant pro- fessor of education; and Dr. Ioseph E. Semrad, instructor in biology. Connected With the College of Liberal Arts, and a vital part of its in- struction, is the library on the fifth floor. Mrs. Virginia Boyd Goult, A.M., is the Kuto Kiszely. Ph.D. librarian and is assisted in her work by students Who are enrolled in the Uni- versity. In addition to this excellent source of scholarly material, students have access to many other nearby libraries cmd educational institutions. The Loop Building is centrally lo- cated, so that students from all parts of Chicago and its suburbs may avail themselves of its great educational advantages. Helen M. Ganey. AM.

Organized in 1897 and first known as the Illinois College of Law, and in 1912 becoming affiliated with De Paul University, the college has been ever building to instill in the students who come to it those qualities of leadership and learning so essential to successful practice and successful living. Headed by William F. Clarke, Ph.B., I.D., as its able dean and Harry D. Taft, Ph.B., LL.M., as its assistant dean and manned by cm effi- cient faculty, each man expert in his field, De Paul stands well qualified to mould the lawyers of the future and promises to grow apace with the new tempo of life as we enter the new post war era.

It is located in the heart of Chicago's Loop at 64 East Lake Street. The College of Commerce fur- nishes its students With a tour-year course for a career in the business world. The courses offered during the first two years are prerequisites for all Commerce work or pre-legal require- ments. The schedule includes cultural as well CIS preparatory subjects in order to avoid over-specializcttion. During the junior year, the student selects a field of concentration. The student's major may be selected from the following: Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Finance or Marketing. Accountants are in great demand today because of the increasing governmental regulation of business. Russel D. Haines. M.S.. C.P.A., Executive Dean COLLEGE OF Businessmen now are giving greater attention to the merits of marketing, as a result, marketing holds cm important place in the Commerce curriculum. The business administrator of to- day needs a knowledge of economics and finance in order to carry on his business intelligently. With the conclusion of World War Mr. Haines checks the entrance certificate of a prospective student in the College of Commerce. 444? Rev. Joseph I. Hagan. O.P.. Rev. Bernard I. Malvey, O.P..

At the beginning of the spring semester both morning and afternoon sessions were in- augurated, and the faculty was greatly in- creased to accommodate the students. The Day Commerce Division is ably headed by Mr. David M. Sharer, C.P.A., Comp- troller and Acting Dean; Mr. Russel D. Haines, M.S., C.P.A., Executive Dean,- Mr. Frederick W. Mueller, Assistant Dean; and Mr. Kenneth H. Loomis, M.A., Registrar. Despite the lack of campus life in the downtown building, a tremendous amount of school spirit prevails in the student body. This is largely due to the many and varied social activities of the school. In the Fall of 1944, Dean Haines called a meeting in order to reorganize the Day Com- merce Council, which during the war had be- come defunct. The main purpose of this or- ganization is to stimulate student activity. A product of this reorganized body is the Balance Sheet, a bi-weekly mimeographed paper which is published as an aid in knitting the Commerce class together and to discuss ideas that are pertinent to the Commerce Class alone. The Downtown veterans were organized to promote a social club, to further better re- lations between the veterans and the Univer- sity, and to help the veterans become adjusted to school routine. Along with these clubs, there are also the many sororities and fraternities for students in the College of Commerce which tend to bring the students closer together. John S. Mortimer. B.S.. LD. 447?

Director The Secretarial Department occu- pies the second floor of the skyscraper, is air-conditioned, and has indirect lighting. The Secretarial Department is fortunate in being situated in the business district of the city of Chicago. Its students, therefore, enjoy the advantages of close contact With commercial and industrial enterprises, and are enabled to Visit and observe types of business organizations in operation. The Department consists of two divisions e Day and Evening. A diploma is granted to those Who complete successfully the prescribed course of study. College credit in shorthand, typewriting, accounting, and business English will be allowed SECRETARIAL for work completed in the intermediate and advanced classes. It is evident that training in the Secretarial De- partment Widens employment oppor- tunities and shortens the time required for promotion to positions carrying greater responsibilities. Proficiency in the secretarial skills often provides an entry into administrative offices of a large number of industries and profes- sions. Business firms are demanding secretaries Who not only are proficient in the technical skills, but also have the business background that Will enable them to act in the place of their superiors, to make decisions calling for sound judgment in a variety of busi- ness situations, and to take advantage M Rose M. Heckenbach. AB. AB. Mary McCoy. Kathryn R. McGuinn Miss Hoyt registers new applicants Sue Lawler. Io Ann O'Connell, and Darlene DeIarlia. SCHOOL of opportunities for promotion. Hence, the Department has set up the follow- ing specific objectives: 1. For men students: To acquire skill in all the practical business sub- jects necessary as a background for those aspiring to positions as as- sistants to executives in business, industry, and professions. 2. For women students: To ac- quire the use of skills in all the prac- tical business subjects necessary as a background for a secretary in the business or professional world. The social and professional activi- ties offer a happy ngt-together for both alumnae and student body. The traditional Charity Ball is held during the Christmas holiday season. In- formal dances, card parties, and teas are enjoyed at various other times during the year. An active Evening Secretarial organization offers the night students an opportunity of par- ticipating in social life. Dinners, pro- fessional talks, card parties, and teas fill their social calendar. The De Paul Secretarial Department is unique inso- far as it is the only secretarial college of its kind offering college credit for shorthand, typewriting, business Eng- lish, and accounting. The students are all holding excellent positions in the business and professional world. V 1? 1 Beniamin I. Knauss, Iulie Sullivan Mary C. Cassidy. Helen Coard. AB. B.S.C. MA.

COLLEGE OI DRAMA The School of Drama of De Paul University has enjoyed an enviable reputation during the past several years The students of the Drama School approach their subjects With an intense interest and a receptive mind. David B. Itkin, M.D.A., The most striking feature of the school is Dean of the School 01 Drama the completeness of its curriculum. A fact of which the students are fully appreciative. All phases of stagecraft, techniques of lighting, speech, scenery design, body mechanics, the art of makeup, and many others are taught by the able professors under the superb direc- tion of David B. Itkin. The dramatists are inculcated With the idea that they must think the part before they can act the part to its fullest. Further, there is no such thing as a usmall part , every mem- Leon Stein Bella Itkin ber of the cast is important. MUS'M' A'B' During the course of the school year, the Drama Department produced a number of plays such as Joyous Season, Our Town, and The Little Foxes. In these the students learn every phase of the production of a play, con- structing their own costumes and scenery and arranging their own lighting effects. Their work in the past has been well received by the large audiences that have witnessed it, and there is every reason to believe that they Will go on to even greater successes in the future.

FINE ARTS MUSIC The cultural significance of De Paul is em- phasized by the excellent standing Which its School of Music holds; and, through the School of Music, the organizations Which represent it. Much of the success of the School of Music must be attributed to the efforts of Dean Arthur D Arthur C' Beeker' M 5'13 ' . ean o! the School 0! Muszc C. Becker. Dean Becker, Who reached that post in 1922, is one of the finest organists in the country. His ability to obtain the maximum in musical harmony from his student organi- zations stamps him as a leader in the field of music. The faculty is second to none. Each and every one has been selected for his or her qualifications in advancing the student Who is in his Charge. The De Paul School of Music otters in- struction in all branches of musical study Which Will be found commensurate with the Ralph Ambrose. Sergei Tamowsky teaching of any first class music conservatory. 5,3 Mus.M. Artist students of the College, appearing in public concerts, have demonstrated that they have absorbed not only theoretical principles resulting in technical ease, but also that they have grasped from their studies that so often elusive quality Which results in real musical leadership. With these high standards and under the capable direction of Dean Becker, the growth of the De Paul School of Music is assured. Walter Knupfer Barbara Becker. A.B., M us.M.

GRADUATE SCHOOL Reverend A. P. Schorsch,C.M., Pb.D.. Dean The objective of graduate study is the de- velopment of capability in original thinking and in independent investigation along lines of advancement and extension of knowledge. The student body of this department is com- posed of many who have just completed their undergraduate work and of others Who have the benefit of several years of experience in business or teaching to their credit. The Graduate School recognizes two types of students: UT regular students, Who enter to become candidates for an advanced degree; and at special students, who Wish to broaden their education without reference to a degree. The classes are held in the late afternoon and evenings and on Saturday mornings during the regular sessions, and the summer session offers cm even greater number of stu- dents the opportunity of graduate study. The dean of this division of the University is the Reverend Alexander P. Schorsch, C. M ., Ph. D., and he is ably assisted in his supervi- sion by the Graduate Council Which is com- posed of the divisional and departmental ad- ministrators.

Tobin, M .13., Director, the de- partment of hospital affiliation has suc- cessfully completed seventeen years of existence. This department has CIC- complished much for the educational aspect of the University by instituting a department leading to a Bachelor of Science degree. The Department of Hospital Affilia- tion this year announced the reopen- ing of the Male Nursing School at the Alexian Brothers Hospital. This hos- pital is the only strictly male hospital in the city and gives a rare opportunity to young men to enter the medical field. All work done is fully accredited towards c1 college degree. Candidates for admission to the School of Nursing at Alexicm Brothers Hospital are obliged to fulfill matricu- lation requirements of De Paul Univer- sity. Affiliated and accredited schools of nursing are located in the following hospitals in Chicago: St. Joseph's, Little Company of Mary, St. Mary of Nazareth, St. Anthony's, Alexian Broth- ers. Out of town hospitals of affiliation include: St. Theresa's, Waukegan; St. John's, Springfield,- St. Joseph's, Elgin; St. Ioseph's, Ioliet; and St. Charles, Aurora. Each year the hospital affiliates swell the numbers of those graduating and this year, the graduating class is proud to find among its ranks repre- sentatives of this noble profession.

CHILD SERVICE CENTER In November of 1944, the Child Service Center of De Paul University was established. The Reverend Ioseph G. Phoenix, C.M., was appointed its director and at present is still in this capacity. He has earned wide recog- nition among educators and psychologists in the field of child psychology. Under his direc- tion the Center has expanded its facilities and increased the scope of its activities. The Child Service Center works in close association with the Catholic Youth Organiza- tion's Social Service. The C. Y O. is contacted by a school with a child who is having difficul- ties and, with the consent of the parents, they make a study of the child's environment. The individual is then brought to Father Phoenix Father Phoenix adminis- tering a sample i59? and is given a series of tests designed to es- tablish his mental ability quotient. The next step is to have a physical examination and this is given by Dr. Joseph A. Tobin, the University physician. The physical seeks to determine Whether there are any organic factors in the childls inability to adjust to his environment. When all the tests have been completed, Father Phoenix evaluates the material and makes a recommendation, which the social service refers to the parents for action. The Child Service Center plays an impor- tant part in recognizing and correcting prob- lems of children who, if ignored, would in all probability develop into social problems with- in a few years. test.

Director of the Department of Elementary Education ibeloarllmenf Of ELEMENTARY EDUCATION Offering c1 tWO-year course lead- ing to the Illinois state certificate, the Department of Elementary Education is an important part of De Paul Uni- versity. This certificate is accepted Without examination by other states. The Normal School for the Catholic Orders of the Religious in Chicago has done much to educate future teachers of youth not only of Chi- cago but throughout the midwestern states. The activities of students vary: they Visit schools and museums to learn the different methods of ap- proach to the school child; they gain experience in student teaching on three levels -- primary, intermediate and grammar grades through practice teaching in the second semester under directed observation. Nursery school and kindergarten training has been stressed to CI much greater degree than ever before because of recent empha- sis on pre-school care. The instructors, Miss Kato Kiszely, Father Feltz, Dr. Babler, Father Mullen and Miss Ellamay Horctn, under the able leadership of the department's director, Miss Mae Kilcullen have aided in making the department an outstanding educative system for the elementary school teachers in the mid- west. s60?

SUMMER SCHOOL The Downtown Building once again opened its doors for the summer sessions of- fered by the various colleges of the University during the summer of 1945. In addition to the first six-week session, the College of Commerce offered a second session to accommodate the many veterans. There was a notable increase in enroll- ment, and the Uptown campus was also the scene of a great deal of activity. Along with the science classes usually held Uptown, De Entrance to downtown building. Paul sponsored one of the most unusual courses in its history, the Kindergarten Work- shop, which was attended by nuns. The Nuns' Band, which has been widely publicized, continued to draw its members from all parts of the nation; and this unique musical organization is directed by Dr. T. M. Iustus.

The De Paulian is a record of these activities. 483' Rev. Gerald Mullen. C.M.. Director of Student Activities In nineteen hundred twenty-four, the Student Activity Council was formed at De Paul University. The members of this organization are the direct representatives of their Class- mates, and their interests are those of the entire student body. The Council acts as CI central con- trolling body for the two campuses, uniting the social life of every student With all the University organizations. A Student Activity Council session in the Lounge of the Downtown building. STUDENT A11 student functions are supported by the Council, and this year the members have focused their efforts on the re- Vival of many traditional affairs. One of the highest honors that com be bestowed on any student is an ap- pointment to serve on the Student Activity Council, and these appoint- ments are made by the deans of the various colleges and the Director of Student Activities. In addition to the regular mem- bers, every student has the right to attend the Council meetings and to present petitions. But only Council members have the privilege of voting. The moderator of this organization is the Director of Student Activities, the Reverend Gerald M. Mullen, C.M., and through his sincere interest and un- selfish efforts, the Council has had on- other successtul year. The officers of the organization for the past year were: James Lutiger of Liberal Arts, President; Iohn Gibbons of Commerce, Vice-President; and Liz Conley of Liberal Arts, Secretory. One of the main features of the year wors the return of the Iunior- Senior Borll, sponsored by the Council and the junior and senior classes. Officers of the Student Activity Council.

ACTIVITY COUNCIL The Student Activity Council also sponsored the first Homecoming Dance since 1942, and the affair was hailed CIS a great success. Many Council members served on the committees for this occasion. Many other successful affairs were sponsored by the Council during the year, and this group was one of the chief factors in the University's transi- tion from wor-time to peoce-time activities. As the University newspaper, The De Paulie! strove again this year primarily for complete news coverage. With a much larger enrollment of students, the paper's staff increased its size. Another noticeable change WCIS the paper's reversion to its larger pre-chr format. Eileen Kelliher, Uptown Liberal Arts co-ed, and Dick Wynn, from the College of Com- merce, co-edited the publication. In Ianuary, Dick Wynn resigned to enter the De Paul Law School and his position as co-editor was as- sumed by John Gibbons, also c1 Commerce student. Reverend Ieremiah Lehcme, C.

Journalism- minded students spent much of their time commuting between this office and the De Paulia office in the Liberal Arts Building. Co-editors of the yearbook for this year are Barbara Meich of the Uptown College of Liberal Arts and Ioseph McLary of the Downtown Liberal Arts Division. The staff of the De Paulian is com- posed of many of those who were anxious to see the return of De Paul's annual publication since its suspen- sion in 1943 for the duration of the war years. These students worked hard to make the 1946 De Paulian a book to be Eileen looks a little skeptical. but that doesn't bother Ian and Maryanne. treasured for many years to come. The Reverend Glenn A. Zoellner, C.M., faculty moderator of the year- book, gave the staff a great deal of help in its early work of organization. In mid-year, however, Father Zoellner was forced into retirement by illness and was succeeded by the Reverend Gerald M. Mullen, C.M., who also acted as moderator of the Student Activity Council. With the shortage of materials and the postwar epidemic of strikes, the yearbook has been delayed in its pub- lication. Since this is the case with most such publications throughout the country, the editors and staff are confi- dent that those who have awaited this book for the past year will consider the difficulties and excuse them.

Whirling net skirts, swishing taf- feta, dignified tuxes and tails, and slicked cowlicks marked the opening of the De Paul formal social season on December first. The editors and staffs of both the De Paulia and De Paulian joined forces to present CI semi-formal affair for the entertainment of the en- tire school. The scene of the dance was set in the Grand Ballroom of the Lake Shore Athletic Club. Music, sweet and swing and smooth and solid, as furnished by the orchestra of Johnny Marlowe kept couples dancing into the wee small hours of the morning. Co-chairmen and guests.

PUBLICA This was the first peacetime formal dance for the University, and the de- creasing patronage of servicemen and increasing numbers of returned vet- erans provided good reasons for c: gala night. The co-chcrirmen, Alice Ford of the Uptown Liberal Arts Divi- sion and Ice Giuntini of the Day Commerce School, expressed their satisfaction at the outcome of the dance With big beaming smiles. Table- hopping and meeting on the dance floor managed to bring every couple to the other's attention sometime during the evening. The group was INS DANCE addressed by the Very Reverend C. I. O'Malley, President of the University. Various committees assisted the co-chairmen in the work of prepara- tion: lining up an orchestra, finding a site, collecting patron tees. Among those on the committees were: Bids e Olga Novak, Bernadette Collins, and Don Kraman; Patrons - Pat Davis, Marge Creagh, Anne Fuchs, and Dick McNtchols; Orchestra e John Gibbons and Joe McLary; Location e Jeanette MacNamara; Art Work - Marion Ber- nero, Ioe Fedo, N. I. Mugavero. Other assistance was given by Eileen Klinger, Bob McGorrin, Bernie Mazer, Paul Kirk, Emily Galas and many more. The entire theme of the Ball was the presentation of a dance on the pre- war calibre. It was Father O'Malley who expressed the pleasure of the faculty at seeing a dance which rep- resented peacetime standards. The editors of the newspaper this year were Eileen Kelliher and John Gibbons, who replaced Dick Wynn. The editors of the yearbook are Bar- bara Meich and Ice McLary. Barney Bruno of the Law School served as business manager of both publications. Top: Why so pensive. mate? Center: Get that am out of there, fellal Bottom: Accent on uppers here. HOMECUMING The Homecoming Dance at the LaSalle Hotel in March, 1946, was one of great signifi- cance. Being the first homecoming since December of 1942 and the first post-war dance of its kind, it saw the return of many whose education was interrupted just after that last Homecoming Dance. It saw the war-time students, the Hlost generation insofar as college social activities were concerned, and the post-war students so cially mingling with these returned old-timers for the first time, and grasping the full import of tthomecoming and of being a part of De Paul. It saw the spirited contest for reign of the University come to a dramatic climax with Iohn Paul Kirk new and John Gibbons and Paul Kirk, co-chairmen and mas- $332; thgightgenfon- ters of ceremonies of the occasion, conducting the procession of the queens of the various col- leges of the University to the throne, each queen being accompanied by two escorts from the school she represented. It saw the expectant faces of the onlookers who were awaiting the announcement of the name of the queen of the dance. It saw SAC President, Bud Lutiger, crowning De Paul Uni- versity's Homecoming Queen e the popular and beautiful Eileen Kelliher. 1t saw the sub- sequent presentation of gifts by the school's organizations to the queen. It saw De Paul dancing in a new era of peace. Eileen B. Kelliher of the Uptown College of Lib- eral Arts. Queen of the 1946 Homecoming Dance.

SECRETARIAL CHARITY BALL The traditional Christmas Charity Ball was held by the Secretarial co-eds on Saturday night, December 22, 1945, in the Gold Room of the Congress Hotel. Beverly Kennedy and Jeanette McNamara, acting as co-chairmen, planned the colorful details Which culminated in the crowning of a Victory Queen at mid- night. Ieanne Moriarity had been selected as Queen and Chose as her attendants eight Secretarial coeeds and their escorts. Army, Navy, and Marine uniforms were resplendent in the Victory March, which began at twelve. Each attendant carried garlands of red roses and presented them to the Queen as the or- chestra played White Christmas . Edward Kerwin, Miss Kennedy's escort, crowned the Queen. F riday, NoVember 2, was a date of great importance to all De Paul freshmen. It was then that the first dance of the school year was held -e the Freshmen Frolic. The annual informal affair was held at the Auditorium on the Uptown campus, and over three hundred couples danced to the music furnished by Roy Milton's orchestra. One of the main purposes of the dance was to write finis to another book of freshman hazing, and hundreds of upperclassmen were present to see this goal reached and to enjoy FRESHMAN FROLIG themselves for the evening. Until this time every year, tradition dictates that all freshmen must wear their green caps at all times when on the campus, so that they may be distin- guished from the upperclassmen. But the Freshman Frolic is the symbol for the removal of these caps, and the freshmen may then merge with the rest of the student body for the remainder of their days at De Paul. It may be mentioned here that the veter- ans were very good sports throughout the ac- tivities of Freshman Week, and many of them helped in making the dance such a huge success. The dance was sponsored by the Student Activity Council, and members of this organi- zation formed the committees. Among those who made the preparations were: Iohn Gib- bons, lack Carolan, Paul Kirk, Phil Equi, Charlotte Gradous, Rosemary Funsten, Art Kelley, lack Allen, Nick Comerford, Lorraine Top: Ioe Lobos wanted Bond, Army Band, Dick Gluss, and Norm Lind- l0 SQY something Pm the camera stopped hlm. quist.

Another post-war tradition was revived on April 27, 1946, When the Iunior-Senior Prom was presented in the spacious ballroom of the Shorelcmd Hotel, located on Chicagots South Shore near the Lake. The strictly formal affair was attended by more than 250 merry-making couples Who donned tuxes or White tie and tails and bouf- fant spring formods to dance to the music of Phil Levant and his nationally-known or- chestrcx.

The prom, which was discontinued after the 1942 affair, was hailed enthusiastically on both campuses. For the seniors at the dance, it was, perhaps, the most outstanding and Bob found something interesting on the dance floor. anticipated event on the social calendar. To them it came as the peak of college life be- cause it was so peculiarly an upperclassman tradition. For the juniors, it was an invitation to ac- cept the gavels of scholarship and leadership so skilltu11y wielded by the class of 1946 and which they were now leaving behind them. To the underclassmen, attending the affair for the first time at De Paul, it was the promise of success in the future as they become an in- tegral part of the University. For the veterans, the ball also meant something e in the way of intangible mem- ories and a return to the life of traditions and university activities they had 1eft behind them in 1941. Before the dance commenced at 9:30 p. m., there were many pre-prom parties held at the homes of various students throughout the City. At 1:30 a. m., to the strains of HGoodnight Ladies the prom-trotters left the South Shore and trekked homeward e and the tired co- chairmen and committee members received their well-deserved congratulations. .m 0 Y o t :5 e VA e H The term Kazatska needs very little in the way of explanation at De Paul. It has long stood for the epitome in dancing pleasure. This year marked its return to the campus after an ab- sence enforced by the war. This was the nineteenth in the series. By this time most of the students are aware that the Kazatska is an annual affair sponsored by Alpha Delta Gamma, National Catholic So- cial Fraternity. This was the first large affair of the Delts since their reorgani- zation this year. It was felt that this dance would do much toward estab- lishing rapport between the students of the various departments for informality is the keynote at the Kazatska. . . . one Alpha Delts and their dates were there in mobs. renews old acquaintances and makes new friends. The dance this year was held in the newly opened Congress Casino in the Cogress Hotel. The well-known Micky Prindl supplied danceable music for the throng of dancers in at- tendance. Co-chairmen tor the affair were Arthur Kerrison of the College of Com- merce and William Fitzsimmons of Liberal Arts. They are to be congratu- lated for the fine work which they ac- complished. The general concensus of opinion as the last couples left the Casino was that the Nineteenth An- nual Kazatska was a wonderful success.

THEATER The De Paul Little Theater has been the scene of many excellent productions by the School of Drama, among them this year being: Our Town, Joyous Season, Enchanted April, Hotel Universe, Little Foxes. All of the productions have been under the direction of Mr. David B. Itkin, Dean of the School of Drama, assisted by Miss Bella D. Itkin. Among the players who have been stu- dents in the School were: Gerald McGonqgill, Iulius Daifner, Dorothy Boerger, Enid Karper, Florence Lis, Gerald Sullivan, Dorothy Carlson, Mae Marmy and Collette Baine. It has been estimated that over 10,000 stu- dents of high schools and colleges have viewed these productions.

Becker, Dean of the Music School, De Paul's mixed choir has become far famed. This year the choir was returned to its pre-war enrollment with both male and female voices. Since sing- ing with a choir is very good experience for anyone majoring in music, it is a required sub- ject in the Music School, but many other branches of the University are represented among its members. The Choir takes part in many activities during the school year; Christmas caroling, the Retreat, and Commencement exercises are the most outstanding. Concert and radio perform- ances are also given each year. A recent in- novation is an evening of chamber music. At the last such held this year on May 10, in the Little Theater of the Drama School, Paul Hinde- mith's HIn Praise of Music was introduced. Iune 11 was the date of the final concert of this year in tamed Thorne Hall. uGallia by Gounod was the featured work of the program. The fine voices of this choir have been blended in the rendition of such noted compos- ers as: Tchaikovsky, Gaul, Palestrina, Becker, Leontovich, and Noble. Many of the more modern composers' works are also being added. The Uptown Sodality was organized for the spiritual and social welfare of the student body and membership in the Sododity is com- posed of students.

AMAZUNS - DOWNTOWN WBANGLERS With postwar reconstruction, the Amazons! upperclasswomen of the College of Commerce, revived the old spirit Which has lagged during the dark war days e freshman hazing. Fresh- men were compelled to don the traditional green caps and to serve the slightest whims of the upperclasswomen. In weekly meetings the delinquent freshmen were brought into Mock Court be- tore CI jury of upperclasswomen presided over by Ieom Bebcxk, president. The other officers were: Margaret Creagh, Iean Bosshart, Patricia Davis, Jeanne McCurdy, Bernice Hillertz, and Millie Hennig. With the downtown Vets, they sponsored the Mixer-Partie at the Uptown Auditorium. The Downtown Wranglers are the mascu- line counterpart of the Amazons and their hazing program followed that of the women's group very closely. i. mg , mu van 2!?

RED CROSS A Red Cross College Unit was officially or- ganized at De Paul on April 3, 1946, with the Rev. Gerald M. Mullen, C.M., as Faculty Ad- visor; and the following student officers: Virginia Silver, Chairman; Gloria Donovan, Secretary; Bernice DePass, Chairman of Public Relations; Virginia Kuta, Chairman of Camp and Hospital; Betty Jane Riley, Chairman of Junior Red Cross. Twice monthly hospital parties at Great Lakes and Fort Sheridan afforded much needed relaxation for the wounded vets.

JUNIOR LEAGUE Officers of the Iunior League for the year, 1945-46 were: Patricia Nellis, President; Vir- ginia Silver, Vice-President; Eileen MacDonald, Secretary,- Therese Crowley, Treasurer; and Noreen Shaw, Publicity Chairman. Freshman women of the uptown campus united in the Iunior League to incorporate so- cial and service activities into the regular school program. The traditional Day Nursery doll bazaar was followed by a Christmas party for the children of the nursery. Funds thus acquired by this charitable work were used to further the work of the De Paul Day Nursery, one of the Junior League's most favored fields of endeavor.

EVENING COMMERCE COUNCIL Norm Lindquist lcentert confers with other cers of the E.C.C. offi- Under the capable supervision of its mod- erator, Dr. Frederick W. Mueller, and the en- ergetic leadership of Norm Lindquist, who succeeded to the presidency upon the resig- nation of Sebastian Seno, the Evening Com- merce Council succeeded in making the school year of 1945-46 active and enjoyable for Eve- ning Commerce students. The Council, organized twelve years ago, is composed of representatives from each class, Who convene monthly in the seventeenth floor lounge for the purpose of guiding the extra- curricular activities of the evening students. The objectives of the Evening Commerce Club are to organize and promote c1 more ideal fellowship among the students, and this is accomplished through both social and cul- tural activities. The Club calendar features informal mixers, picnics, educational forums, and dances featuring well-known orchestras and celebrities. January 26 marked the date of the annual January dance held at the renowned Furniture Club on Lake Shore Drive. General Chairman of the affair was Bob McGorrin, and he was capably assisted by Sebastian Seno, Bill Wil- son, and Ted Rummel. Committees for the Annual May Dance on May 25 were headed by Bob Meehcxn, Dave McWhinnie, Norm Lindquist, Bill Wilson, HCorkyH Mugavero, Paul Downing and Milli- cent Schweitzer. 4116b DAY COMMERCE COUNCIL The Day Commerce Council was organe ized in the 1944-45 school year for the purpose of providing additional social life for the Com- merce student. Dean Haines appointed to the Council those students who were the most interested in devoting their time to running student mixers. At the outset, the organization held its parties and dances in the seventeenth floor lounge of the downtown building. This year the large influx of students proved to the D.C.C. that the lounge was too small to accommodate the large number of Commerce students Who attended the affairs. As a result of the great number of deficiencies of the lounge, the Council ventured into the Auditorium to hold its mixers. Membership in the Council has doubled Within the last year in order to give the student more representation. The Council members have worked long and hard to promote the affairs that have been so successful. Finances tor the many affairs have been donated by the Commerce students by their backing of Tag and Bow Days run by the IOhn Gibbons leads 0 organization. meeting of the D.C.C.

Founded by Barbara Meich, in 1944, While she was editor-in-chiet of the De Paulia, the club has progressed to a point Where it now com- mands much prestige among the students. To foster more and better creative writing, to provide feature material for the student publications, and to act as a workshop Where the newspaper is critically analyzed as to makeup, content and policies, are the chief aims of the group. The club draws its membership from both campuses. A student Who shows proficiency in creative writing in his English classes, or one Who has had former writing experience, is invited by the moderator to join the organi- zation. A feature of the Press Club has been the guest speaker Who addressed the group on some phase of journalism. Among these speakers have been the Reverend Jeremiah Lehane, C.M. moderator of the De Paulia, Lawrence Wallace, professor in the Evening Liberal Arts College, and Arthur Schaefer, Director of Public Relations. PRAETURIANS Only organization of its kind to remain active during the war years, the Praetorians continued in their work again this year under the presidential leadership of Bernie Mazer. Howie Orleans, Vice-President; Bob Schwartz, Recording Secretary; Harry Isenberg, Treas- urer; and Irv Wolkerwitz, Corresponding Sec- retary, helped to carry the load of admin- istration. On December 22, the pledge dance was held at the Congress Hotel and in that month play was started in the First Annual Praetorian Basketball Tourney. A rush smoker was held in March in the Stevens Hotel and twenty men were pledged. With the start of the spring semester, Herb Freedman was elected president and Harold Roman was made vice-president. Bernie Mazer was elected to the post of recording secretary. PRAETORIANS Row One: Levy. Wolf. Wolkerwitz. Isenberg. Freedman, Roman, Boron. Zuckerman. Orleans. Row Two: Berman. Fried- man, Goldman.

In the past ten years it has built cm enviable record of service to the students and to the University. The main purpose of the society is to make available to its members, at CI nominal charge, c1 collection of exclusive legal material for home study. Information, not otherwise avail- able to the students, is thus made accessible and many prospective lawyers have profited from the use of this system. Much of the success of the society is due to the efforts of the present law librarian, Mrs. French. 349 e A M usical PL Produced under the auspices Directed by REV.

Father Malvey Brzuskiewicz Conley Fisher Heitkotter Kelliher Leahy Meich Romiti Sagan Schneider Voos Dr. Frederick Mueller. Ir. Faculty Secretary lean M. Bebak. Student President Illinois Epsilon chapter of Pi Gamma Mu, National So'cial Science Honor Society, played an important part in university scholastic life in 1946. Membership in the fraternity is a goal for all faculty members, alumni, and under- graduates, although election to the society is by faculty approval only. The chapter was es- tablished at De Paul in 1924, and since then, its prestige has grown. Dr. Frederick Mueller, Ir., Dean of the Eve ning Commerce College, was the very efficient faculty secretary for 1946. In May of the pre- vious year, a new group of juniors and seniors, representing all schools of the University, were formally initiated into the organization on the basis of scholastic achievement shown in their college life. PI GAMMA MU At a monthly meeting held in February, an executive committee composed of lean Bebak, Barbara Meich, Sophia Leventis, and Philip Romiti was formed to make plans in order that a fuller realization of all that the so- ciety can offer to the membership might be concretely experienced by the Epsilon chapter; and, also, that a closer relationship between the faculty and undergraduate groups might be fostered. Pi Gamma Mu enjoys a distinguished po- sition among scholars and educated men and women in the professional, business and social worlds. In 1945, the society mourned the loss of a great friend, Lt. Col. Lawrence McDermott, who died in the fall of that year. INTEBFRATEBNITY COUNCIL In previous years the purpose of the lntertraternity Council was to act as a controlling group for the various fraternities so that the rights and privi- leges of each organization would be protected and a united fraternal spirit exist. It also sponsored an annual in- terfraternity basketball tournament at the end of the intramural season. During the war years there was such a reduction of male students that many fraternities were compelled to either dissolve or to minimize their activities. This situation also forced the Council to suspend their activities for the duration. This year brought the return of some fraternity activities, and it is hoped that these activities will in- crease as more men return and the traternities' memberships increase. The outlook for future years is a group of active fraternities, which will be guided by an equally active Inter- fraternity Council. Among the active fraternities on campus in this post-war era are Alpha Delta Gamma, National Catholic Fra- ternity; Delta Sigma Pi, International Professional Fraternity in Commerce; Delta Theta Phi, Phi Alpha Delta, and Nu Beta Epsilon, all fraternities in the College of Law.

Since then Alpha Delta Gamma has been successful in its endeavor of furthering the purpose of the University by advancing scholastic and social achievement. With each passing year added to the lofty traditions of Alpha Delta Gamma, its fame in the social and Christian fraternity groups has spread. Weathering the second great world con- flict, Gamma Chapter of Alpha Delta Gamma reactivated cmd thus renewed its varied pro- gram of events at De Paul. This yectr wit- nessed the return of one of the midwest's out- standing social affairs With the presentation of the Nineteenth Annual Kazatska or HSpring Dance in the New Casino of the Congress Hotel for C111 the Belts and friends in the University. A former initiation banquet and CI HVictory Homecoming Party , in honor of the brothers returned from service, were other affairs re- stricted to members of the Chapter. NOW that the world is at peace again, Alpha Delta Gamma is prepared for a future studded With an array of affairs and functions to add to its now unprecedented history. DELTA THETA PHI A003 Delta Theta Phi, a national legal fraternity, was organized in 1900, and has grown steadily until today it has active chapters in most of the leading law schools of the United States. It consists today of approximately 80 chapters, fifty of which are active senates and 30 of which are alumni senates. In membership, Delta Theta Phi consists of over 20,000 men, making it the largest legal scholarship frater- nity in the country. Warvelle Senate, the De Paul Chapter, this year marks its forty-second year of constant activity both in scholastic and social affairs. The Warvelle Senate came into existence in 1904 when the present law school was known as the old Illinois College of Law, and since Edwin Becker. Dean Vice-Dean William B. Wood, that time has kept pace with the school of which it is a part, steadily growing into a rich, new source of true fraternal brotherhood and fraternal relationships. As all organizations, Warvelle Senate, due to the curtailments of the war years, had to undergo a revitalization program. Through the efforts of Casimir Mikolotczak, Iohn Sereda, and David Stevenson, Warvelle Senate was given new life and new spirit. Indeed, due to the splendid work of these re-organizers and to the constant guidance of able officers, this year has been one doubly rich in enjoyment and scholastic achievement which can only be prophetic of the still richer years to come.

Delta Sigma Pi now has sixty chapters in colleges in the United States and Canada, and is one of the largest professional fraternities in the world. The Alpha Omega Chapter at De Paul received its Charter in 1928. It remained active until shortly before World War II. During the summer of 1945 a local frater- nity, Sigma Delta Phi, which had been organ- ized by a group of Commerce men, was given the opportunity of reactivating the Deltasig Chapter and, in August of that year, Ed Fitz- Gerald! first Headmaster of the Chapter; the Reverend F. Coupal, C. M.; H. G. Wright, Grand Secretary-Treasurer of the Grand Chap- Philip Equi. H eadmaster ter, and other alumni of Alpha Omega, initi- ated these men into Delta Sigma Pi. Philip Equi, who had served as Scribe of the local, was elected Headmaster. Ioe Giun- tint, Vice-President of Sigma Delta Phi, acted as Senior Warden, and R. E. Wynn, President, as Iunior Warden. Chester Sagan was se- lected as Scribe and Iames Connor, Ir., Treasurer. Because of the many details involved in the reactivation, the Chapter limited its revival of traditional dances to the New Year's Eve party. However, many informal Chapter par- ties were given during the year. The Reverend I. B. Malvey, O.P., was inie tiated into the fraternity as Chapter Advisor. Dean R. D. Haines, in recognition of his out- standing service to the College of Commerce, was made an honorary member of Delta Sigma Pi. I oseph Giuntini. Senior Warden 4150?

Membership in the Council is drawn from the following soror- ities: Alpha Omega, Delta Zeta Gamma, Epsilon Eta Phi, Mu Phi Epsilon, Phi Gamma Nu, Pi Sigma Phi, Rho Sigma Delta, and Rho Delta Pi. Norine Kozell ably officiated as president of the Council for 1945-46, assisted by Lorraine Routeau as vice-president; Charlotte Gradous, and later, by Penny Prendergast, as secretary; and Ieanne Lawrence, as treasurer. Performing as a governing group, the Council set rushing dates, enforced pledging and initiation rules, and acted as a forum where all sorority problems could be discussed and decided upon to the satisfaction of all. The annual Inter-Sorority Tea and Open House sponsored by the Council for sorority members and their guests was held at the Hotel Continental during the Christmas holi- days. One of the outstanding social events on the spring calendar was the St. Patrick's Day affair, a Sweater Shag, run by the Coun- cil in conjunction With the Veterans' clubs on both campuses. The I. S. C. was founded in 1927 at the University. Its rules and regulations are con- tained in a charter Which gives the council the right to regulate all rushing, rules, dates and parties, and among other things, the right to levy minor penalties on any organization prov- ing insubordinate, and gives jurisdiction over any competitive athletics involving sorority girls. The sororities from Which the Council draws membership are located in the Uptown Liberal Arts college, College of Commerce, Music School, and the Downtown Liberal Arts college. The delegates are chosen for their leadership qualities in their own sorority.

Fall rushing saw the A. Q's entertaining at the Chicago Yacht Club, the Hotel Continental, and the Webster Hotel; and seventeen girls were pledged. Exhibiting those qualities of friendliness and graciousness for which the sorority is famous, many A. Q's were active campus leaders. Liz Conley, feature editor of the De Paulian and diligent secretary of S. A. C., also headed the W. A. A, ably assisted by Sophie Giannopulos, recording secretary, Shirley Simons, treasurer, and Alice Ford, correspond- ing secretary. Alice was also co-chairman of the Press Ball. Sylvia Amenta ably discharged her duties as Glee Club president, publicity Millicent Pushee. Anne Fuchs. President Vice-President Chairman of the Iunior Class, as well as those of the treasurer of Delta Upsilon Pi, of which organization Dorothy Anderle was secretary. Other class offices held by A. O.'s were those of secretary-treasurer of the Sophomore Class by Carol Fierst, and vice-president of the Junior Class by Anne Fuchs, who was also Uptown news editor of the De Paulia. Eileen Kelliher, elected Queen at the 1946 Homecom- ing Dance, was co-editor of the De Paulia, on whose staff Eileen Klinger served as copy edi- tor and Marion Bernero as art editor.

The rushing season was touched off by a gala dinner held for rushees at the Ranch. An informal supper at the home of Norine Kozell, who was last year's president of the Sorority, was the second activity and the last rushing party was a dinner in the private dining room of the Comerhouse Restaurant. This year's rushing captain was Helen Wiggen. The pledges' informal initiation was a pajama party at the Webster Hotel, where a suite of rooms was engaged for the occasion. Formal initiation took the form of a dinner and theater party. Preceding the dinner, Which was held at the Normandy House, the DELTA ZETA GAMMA AZF members attended the stage production of HSt. Lazare's Pharmacy . Members of the Delta Zeta Gamma Sorority are also found on active social lists in the University. Norine Kozell was president of the lntersorority Council for this year and also served on the staffs of the De Paulia and De Paulian. Arlene Valenzano, corresponding secretary of the Sorority was also a member of the De Paulia staff. Vice-President of the Glee Club for this year was Phyllis Alberts. Officers of the organization for the year 1945-46 were: Yolanda Tornabene, President; MaryAnn Rytlewski, Vice-president; Celeste Palella, Treasurer; Arlene Valenzano, Corre- sponding Secretary; and Phyllis Alberts, He- cording Secretary. EPSILON ETA PHI nlthD Epsilon Eta Phi's year at De Paul began with the formal rushing party held in the Mir- ror Room of the Bismarck Hotel with over fifty girls in attendance. Of the group, sixteen pledges were accepted. a Most of Epsilon Eta Phi's activities are based on traditions established years ago with the founding of the sorority. For that reason, the Epsies proceeded with their annual pledg- ing party, mock initiation, and formal initiation plans. This year, however, for the first time in the tour war years, the mock initiation was held out of town at Lake Lawn, Wisconsin. The tired group returned by bus to Chicago. The sorority held its annual Easter Dinner Dance at the Flamingo Room of the Bismarck Hotel on Easter Sunday, April 21. Bernice Hillertz. President Gerry Campagna. Vice-Pzesz'dent In less than a week after mock initiation, the sorority held an Open House in honor of two Epsies who were chosen as candidates for Homecoming Queen e Jean Falecki of the College of Commerce, and Gini Bucko ot the College of Law. The doors of the sorority house were open to all, and during the course of the evening the Epsies played hostess to over 250 guests, including many at the new veterans. And so the year rolled on, with formal initiation, and the annual Founders' Day Din- ner celebrating Epsilon Eta Phi's nineteenth year of existence which was held in union with the Alpha chapter at Northwestern University. A Mother's Day tea at the sorority house, and many other social and scholastic pursuits marked a successful year for the organization.

The Rho Delts happily cooperated in restoring peacetime activities to De Paul once more. Lucia Plonka served as president until her graduation in February when Lorraine Rou- ieau assumed the duties of the office. These girls ably led torty-tive members and pledges in furthering scholastic, charitable and social aims of the Sorority. As in former years, every undertaking of the University found a Rho Delta Pi represen- tative present. Virginia Silver directed the efforts of the newly organized Red Cross Unit. Virginia was also Vice-president of the Junior League. Lorraine Rouleau was Vice-president of the Inter-Sorority Council. Lucia Plonka was secretary of the senior class. Christine Miller sang the leading role in the all-school production of The Red Mill. These and the RHO DELTA PI PAW BETA CHAPTER other members gave their wholehearted sup- port to the various school organizations. Both rushing seasons of the 1945-46 year were brilliant successes. Rho Deits entertained at the Bismarck and Edgewater Beach Hotels and at the Chicago Yacht Club. Monthly meetings were held in ciubrooms ot the Fine Arts Building. The formal dinner dance held in the Tavern Room of the Bismarck Hotel, accom- panying the long-awaited moment of initiation of new members was a highlight of the social season at De Paul. This was the first formal party given by the Sorority since 1941. The traditional Mother-Daughter Candle- light Tea was also resumed this peacetime year. The Rho Delts are looking forward to the tuture happy De Paul years, but most espe- cially to their picnic at Promontory Point on June 30, and their annual boat trip in July. PHI GAMMA N11 ' CNN Eta Chapter of Phi Gamma Nu sorority started the school year at De Paul with the formal initiation of pledges and the installation of officers at the Racine Hotel in Racine, Wiscon- sin. Fall rushing parties were held at the Ranch House and at the Point. The pledging party took place at Madi- gan's Restaurant. Greentree Stables was the gala scene of a hay-rack party given by and for the Phi Gams in mid-Fall. Pledges sponsored the annual Christ- mas party for the actives on December 19. January 31st was Professional Night at the sorority house. This was Charlotte Gradous. Patricia Davis. President Vice-Ptesideni held in connection with Alpha Chapter from Northwestern University. A din- ner in honor of the new faculty advisor, the Reverend John R. Clark, C.M., was held at the Como Inn on February fourth. The formal initiation of the pledges was held in Michigan City, Indiana, at the Spaulding Hotel on February 8th and 9th. The Marine Dining Room at the Edgewater Beach Hotel was the scene of the Phi Gam's Sweetheart Ball on February sixteenth - and so the Phi Gams bring to a close another active year as a national professional sorority in Commerce.

President Vice-Ptesident Iune 11, 1944, Phi Sigma Chapter of Mu Phi Epsilon was installed at the De Paul Uni- versity's School of Music, with fifteen students and one faculty member forming the Charter group. Mu Phi Epsilon, a National Music Sorority, has as its purpose the recognition of scholarship and musicianship, and the promo- tion of friendship within its society. The so- rority was founded in 1903, and it is one of the largest in its field, having tifty-two active chapters, twenty-six alumnae chapters, nine alumnae clubs, and over 12,000 members. Membership elections are based upon scholar- ship, musicianship, and personality. Initiations take place from the sophomore through the graduate classes. The motto of the sorority is: 118eeketh not her own . Since its installation, Phi Sigma chapter has been active in the scholastic and social life of the Music School. In May, 1945, Phi Sigma selected Mrs. Arthur C. Becker as Patroness ot the chapter, eleven more members were initiated into the group, and Chapter officers were elected as follows: Audrey Fisher, Presi- dent; Frances Alder, Vice-President; Ieanne Matecki, Secretary; Elizabeth Mollahan, Treasurer. Phi Sigma had charge of all arrangements for the Music School's Christmas Party, and the group sponsored the UBooks for Poland Drive in the Music School. Sadness was brought to Phi Sigma in January at the death of Adaline Smith Ghrist. Many plans for the future have been made by this active sorority for the remainder of the year, and two delegates will attend the Na- tional Convention in New York in Iuly. PI SIGMA PHI WZCD In April of 194-4 Pi Sigma Phi was chartered and has grown into a splendid organization for the Evening students at De Paul. Under the guid- ance of Father Kammer, the sorority organized and has fostered the cher- ished ambitions of the evening co-eds. The first rushing tea was held at the Knickerbocker and since teas have been held at the Graemere and Nor- mandy House. This past year, Pi Sigma Phi, besides sponsorina a num- ber of social activities, has also been active in various charity projects, such as the Christmas Basket Collection for the needy. The big event for the Pi Sigs during 1945-46 was the Winter Thaw, a dance held. February 15 at which Miss Harriet Weller was crowned Queen of the Downtown Liberal Arts College and representative to Vie for Queen of the Homecoming Dance. Marion Cone, Ieanne Lawrence, President Vice-President After three years of activity a num- ber of members have changed loca- tions, and the Pi Sigs saw them off at various parties held at the homes of members. Lee German, fomer pledge captain and vice-president, left to at- tend the graduate school at St. Louis University. Ann Mack, Letitia Federici and Ieanne Lawrence were sent into the state of matrimony backed by the Pi Sigs. Marion Cone, president this past year, left for Bermuda, after which Ieanne Lawrence headed the group. The school year has brought Pi Sigma Phi closer to the realization of the goal for which it was organized e- lasting friendships have been made; common interests have been shared; social activities have been stimulated; and a Closer bond among the girls in the evening colleges has been at- tained.

Not only did the Demon cagers con- tinue to spread their fame throughout the nation, but the year also saw tennis and swimming teams join bas- ketball as major sports at the Univer- sity. 1945-46 is the start. Opponents beware! Athletic Director Ray Meyer ATHLETIC Al Guiding the destiny of the De Paul Blue Demons this past year, as in the years that came before, was the organization known as the Athletic Board. It is their job to act as an advisory group in leading the school's partici- pation in intercollegiate sports. Through their hands pass the final approval of the cage schedule and many other important decisions. The board last year was composed of six able men, under the chairmanship of the Rev- erend Ioseph G. Phoenix, CM. Completing the structure of the board were the Reverend Father Joseph Phoenix Theodore I. W angler, C.M., the Honorable Iohn A. Sbarbaro, Harry Taft, Raymond Meyer, and Arthur Morse. Under their leadership De Paul has, for CI number of years, met the finest schools in the nation. In charge of executing the Athletic Board's decisions, is De Paul's great athletic director and head basketball coach, Ray Meyer. Tak- Action in the Notre Dame win. INISTRATION ing over from the hands of Tom Haggerty early in the year, Mr. Meyer has vastly inten- sified the Demons' athletic program. It is his plan to bring the Big Blue into all major phases of the intercollegiate sports scene. The first step in this direction was made when ten- nis was revived, and the swimming team or- ganized tor the first time in the school's history. Late in the year, a freshman basketball coach was appointed e- Robert Neu, 1938-39 captain. He succeeded Cliff Lind, another ex- Demon. In charge of athletic publicity over a six-month span was William Leeds, a for- mer Liberal Arts student. At the head of the swimming team was Edward Schalk. For the third consecutive year, Ed Kolker saw to it that the cagers were in top flight physical condi- tion. To these behind-the-scene men, De Paul owes much for its success in athletic endeavors.

GREAT SEASON UNDER COACH MEYER The Demons journeyed to Kentucky to play two Southern schools: Western Kentucky and Murray State, each scoring 43 points and the Red and Blue countering with 81 and 65 points to break their three-game losing streak. Two victories, one over Michigan State, 58-52, and the other over Marquette, 66-38, were climaxed by the Meyer cagers' loss to Great Lakes, 69-67, in one of the former's finest games. Indiana State fell for a second time 52-42, before the Demons lost to the Aggies 46- 38 in the opening game of the Stadium Round Robin. Winning the Round Robin consolation with CI 62-49 win over Hemline, De Paul then felled the distance-shooting Long Island 69-48. The climax of the year was a crushing defeat of Notre Dame, 63-47. In New York the Demons again defeated Long Island, 75-51. At Peoria the Demons outdistcmced Bradley Tech, 67-46; and another great year was concluded with Ct triumph over Beloit 65-40.

THE MEN BEHIND THE HOOP AND THE BALL For the fourth consecutive year the Blue Demons of De Paul were the proud possessors of an exceptional record. Victories over sev- enty-five per cent of their rivals is no accident. Many men are involved in the Demon success, both big and little. Of course, the major portion of the reasons for any team's success must be attributed to its coach. We, at De Paul, were fortunate in having one of the best in the nation e Ray Meyer. In his capable hands, the Big Blue roared to nineteen Victories in twenty-two games. Many players who were shunned else- where rose to stardom under his able tutelage. To Coach Ray Meyer, therefore, an enormous amount of credit must be given. Recognized by many as the greatest player of our time was George Mikan. Not only did he score 555 points during the year, but his presence alone made the opponents quake in their boots. George was Captain of the Demons from 1943 through 1946. The two regular forwards in 1945-46 were Gene Stump and Ernie Di Benedetto. Gene has been improving every year, and during the past season this thirdt, he tallied over 300 points. A right-handed shot, he is the pos- sessor of an overflowing amount of drive e drive that carried him through many an op- posing guard. Di Benedetto was probably the fastest man on the squad. He has been named by many of his team mates as the steadying hand on the quintet - the player who can pull the team together when things appear darkest. Sharing the guard positions for the De- mons were the two Aliens, lack and Chucki'. Iack, another of the third-year players, failed to make the grade at Notre Dame. At De Paul, he was recognized as one of the best guards He floats through the air- developed by the school in years. Another castoft tfrom Illinoist was itChuck Allen. He proved a power on the backboards, and along with Jack formed a dangerous pair of long- shot artists. Substitutes are important to any form of athletic team, and when this reserve strength is of the highest quality, that aggregation is indeed fortunate. It, therefore, follows that the Big Blue was fortunate, because many of those who sat on the bench the majority of the time were good enough to start should the occasion have arisen. Two of these players were Ted Furman and Dick Starzyk. Both, however, were handi- capped by physical disability. Ted was ham- pered by a defect acquired in the Marines, and Starzyk injured his ankle in the first Oklahoma game, and saw little action there- after. Up to that engagement Starzyk had been a regular. Hands Upl Two for Michigan State. 4 Bullet a la C. Allen. , Rounding out the second five were Ed Mikan, Torn HSpider Niemiera, and Joe Dem- kovitch. Big Mikan proved an efficient sub- stitution for his great brother. Both Niemiera and Demkovitch were starters in at least one game. Spider is one of the most promising cagers on the squad. Demkovitch, an Air Corps veteran, was a member of the 1942-43 squad. He was victor over three Messer- schmitts during the war. He proved that his sharp-shooting was no accident, when he con- tinued to hit long ones during the cage campaign. The remaining monogram winners were Nick Commerford, Tony Barbaric, and Harold Frederick. Although they were used sparingly during the year, their presence at all practice sessions aided immeasurably the Demon finesse. The above mentioned men are the ones who maintained. De Paul high standing in the intercollegiate basketball field. gaiieziam... The Blue Demons on and oif the floor - in the gym and out. A LOOK INTO THE DEMONS' FUTURE De Paul has had four consecutive great years, Winning 81 of 98 cage encounters; but, what of next season? Will the Blue Demons continue their mastery over the opposition? At this early date, it is difficult to make any definite predictions. What is being planned, it nothing else, will be extremely interesting from the players' as well as the spectators' viewpoint. The Chicago Stadium will once again serve as home floor for the major portion of the Blue Demon's home games. The tenta- tive schedule includes some of the finest cage aggregations in the nation. It the schedule is not the most difficult of any previous year, it will come very close to possessing the title. No fewer than four Big Ten schools will prob- ably meet the Meyermen. Notre Dame, Okla- homa A CS M, along with Kentucky and South- ern California will, in all probability, be en- countered. Will the 194647 Blue Demons be able to meet this onslaught? Who will be back to carry the brunt of the attack for the Meyermen? These are the questions that must be answered. Many critics of the Big Blue brand of bas- ketball have claimed that without towering George Mikan, De Paul would be just another mediocre cage team, and that once the tall center was graduated, this theory would be borne out. Therefore, 1946-47 will be the test. Mikan has gone, and the Demons expect to meet powerful quintets. Will they show up the critics? Those who recognize Coach Ray Meyer's coaching prowess say Hyes . Coach Meyer will not be starting from scratch. Nine lettermen are expected back, barring any unforeseen events and the action of the U. S. Army. The nine are Ed Mikan, Ernie DiBenedetto, Gene Stump, HChuck Allen, Tony Barbaric, Ioe Demkovitch, Ted Furman, and Tom Niemiera. These cagers represent a total of seventeen years of colle- giate cage competition. They represent the nucleus of a fine quintet. In addition, there are a number of former Demons still in service, who possess some eli- gibility. Among these are George LaRochelle, llWhitey Kachan, Iohn Iorgensen, Mel Frailey, and lack Phelan. Then, too, a number of men should make the squad from those who intend to enroll at Depaul next year. The future of De Paul basketball is defin- itely bright. The combination of a great coach, nine returning lettermen, promising freshmen, and eX-Demons cannot fail to pro- vide a great year in 1946-47.

MIKAN ENDS CAREER IN BLAZE UP GLORY During the war years one name stood out above all others in basketball e George Mikon. One name was on the lips of those who followed the hordcourt game e George Mikon. One name become synonymous with De Paul E George Mikon. This great athlete did more to spread the fame of the Blue De- mons than did any other in the long and glorious sports history of the University. Through his remarkable teats on the courts of the country, De Paul become known and feared as one of the powers of intercollegiate basketball. Big George entered the University in 1941, a long-legged and awkward kid, who had recently been turned down at Notre Dame. Coach Roy Meyer, quick to recognize poten- tial greatness in CI player, took the 6' 8 boy under his wing, and developed him into one of the greatest cogers of oil time. The first summer vacation after he enrolled in Liberal Arts saw the Demon giant jumping rope and shadow boxing in order to develop the co- ordination Vital to the success of omy cage aspirant. - The added practice sessions aided the towering center immensely. George's first year on the varsity revealed the initial signs of the greatness which was to come to him in the three succeeding years. He tallied in ex- Coach Meyer seems sad as Mikun bids farewell to De Paul basketball. cess of 200 points. By the time Mikan had completed his collegiate cage career, he had amassed 1870 points, placing him among the top scorers in basketball annals. In his second year as a regular, George shared the captaincy of the Demons with Dick Triptow, and together they led De Paul to the finals of the New York Invitational Tourney. His brilliance on the court enabled De Paul to defeat Ohio State, despite an injury to the giant's ankle. More than 400 counters were registered during the campaign, as he was placed on every all-American team in the country, for the tirst of the three years in which this honor was to be bestowed upon him. Helm's Foundation named him Player of the Year . 1944-45 was in all probability Mikan's best. Influenced by his play, De Paul earned the N.I.T. title. Scat pumped 558 points through the hoop during the year, and shat- tered approximately ten individual tourney records. Against Rhode Island State, the 81 inches of cage mechanism counted 53 points and ended up with a tourney average of 40 markers per game. Once again he gained the distinction of HPlayer of the Year , and in addition was accorded a position on the team composed of All-Time greats. Only a man who has done so much for the advancement of De Paul basketball fame could merit a yearbook writeup, and such a man is George Mikan. It will be a long time, it ever, before another such as the bespec- tacled Demon appears in the cage picture. The number 99 uniform has been put away for all time, but neither it nor the star who wore it will be forgotten by those who saw Mikan perform. Stump and Oklahoma's Kern make their bid. 13V; w w, ,e.

Intramural sott- ball and basketball returned, tennis was re- vived and intercollegiate swimming was in- augurated as a major sport. With the tutelage of Coach Ed Schalk, the swimming team annexed one victory in four engagements under the trying conditions of a late start and no pool of their own. At this writing, the tennis team is in the process of organization. Emil Iaczynski is in charge of the tive-man squad. The remainder of the team are: Ray Neva, Jerry Mozinski, Max Futirian, and Pat Finn. Ten teams were entered in the Praetorians' First Annual Basketball Tourney: Two from Law, three from Liberal Arts, and the remain- der from Commerce. W'inners were Father Malvey's Five. Early spring brought those interested in softball out to the Academy Field and into Grant Park. A tournament was not officially conducted, but approximately eight teams met each other at least once.

THE FINALE When a dear departed friend's bier lies in state, it is generally the practice for some biased individual to blow off the foam and start to enumer- ate the merits of the deceased. We will not attempt this in our eulogy of this year's De Paulian. Suffice it to say that we hope that it has met with your ap- proval and that in reading it you will gain the pleasure which we have ex- perienced in putting it out. This was the Experiment Perilous. But we must admit that despite the strikes and other setbacks which we have had during its production, it is an attempt at the yearbook which De Paul has had in past years. These pages are full of De Paul history. After four years of war, the University is again on its normal course. We have the proud honor of publishing the De Paulian in a year when De Paul is recognized throughout the country as the largest Catholic university in the United States. All of De Paul is not yet on a wholly peacetime level of operation and for that reason you will find many organizations poorly represented among the pages of this record. To those who aided in any fashion in the production of this book, the edi- tors wish to extend their sincere thanks, especially to Father Glenn Zoellner, C .M ., and Father Gerald Mullen, C .M ., moderators of the De Paulian during the first and second semesters of this year respectively. The patience of the student body in awaiting this issue was exemplary and worthy of commendation. Again, thanks very much for everything. THE EDITORS. P w gklmvw $ Mwmiivs r .-- .. re.

It should also be partly humorous. Ours is? Furthermore, it should be truly rep- resentative of college life. We're living? Lastly, tand why, we don't knowt all annuals have their feature section dedicated to somebody or something. We won't! De Pauliana has no dedication, and let's not make a fuss about it. In this age of National Socialism, Fascism, and Totalitarianism in every shape and form How whistle heret we believe it fitting to present the truly cultural aspects of university life. There are so many here who are fine students dined for speed- ingt fined for over-due books, fined for cutting classt that we find it difficult to attempt to repre- sent every phase of scholarship and culture at De Paul. However, through a poll sponsored by our school paper, The De Paulia, we found what was thought to be the most representative of the school and we have included this here. 4193? FACULTY K'WAatz 012M So it is that among a group so desirous of knowledge we find that the opinion shows no desire to be over-burdened by a very large faculty. We find individual research to be the best means for losing knowledge, for in this way the individual is not held back by the group. We are much in dis- favor With a system whereby we are compelled to sit in class rooms and listen to a group of mouldy alchemists, born and bred in almost mid-Victorian ways, as they partake in one-sided symposiums. Therefore, we are getting rid of them. , Top: The Rev. T. I. Connolly. ProIeSe Certainly YOU.

CATALOGUE OF DE PILL UNIVERSITY HISTORY UP THE UNIVERSITY It was on a cold winter night in late Iuly, 1975, that Jacques Carterowski sat in his mansion in southern Mangolowski, county Igor in Siberia. Having drunk too many creme de menthes With beer Chasers, he had a slight hangover. The result was that he sought relief for this terrible migraine. He sent his third butler in Charge of procurement to obtain for him a potion. This the butler did, but was chastised severely, for the medicine did no good for Iacques. Finally, he could have only one remaining course. He called to the Institute of Siberian Culture and asked for the best and most talented research chemists in the organization. These he called to his bedside and asked one question: Can you find a cure for this horrible headache? The researchmen said, Yes, under one condition e that you found an institute for the ad- vancement of headache reliefs. Iacques reached into his pocket and drew out 1045 rubles and gave them the go-ahead sign. Since they desired the work to be highly secret, they trav- eled far and long to the country of Washington, Lincoln and Truman. In a midwestern city called Chicago, they labored, and finally, in the year 2001, they perfected their compound. And so it is that With every registration at this noble institu- tion, a box of anti-migraine is included without extra charge and the students go on to bigger and better headaches in memory of one poor sufferer. 4196b 1197? 7 W... vamrmwwsw -.

IN MEDIO And so we see in our students at De Paul the qualities which leaders should have. At many times this is not a love for the classics, but also a certain ability. This ability may be along certain lines. It is with pride that we can point to members of the student body and show in them talent in cultural fields tAgri - or otherwisei. Even before we begin to think of the specific qualities which our students have, we begin by appearance. One of the aims of De Pill, a coeducational institution, is to develop poise in our co-eds. For, in spite of how much a person may know, she may not find it usable if she is not sociable and poised, and able to mix with people in our modern, social life. As we have said, our day is one of great advance in the sciences. We have seen our intantry-men armed with marvelous weap- ons, our Navy possesses the finest ships in the world, our Air Corps the finest fighter planes and giant bombers. tWe won't go into which branch of service won the want But we know that these are instruments very much depend- ent upon scientific knowledge for their perfec- tion. But exactitude is a requisite for any scientific research. It is the boast of scientists today that they are able to control a thing so infinitely small as an electron. So we find in the laboratories of our own science department, students who practice this same care with their work. Mr. Murray is shown here making practical use of the theories he learned in lectures concerning the mixture of, shall we call them potent liquids. Ah yes -r we shall. Above all we see por- trayed the characteristic devotion to exact- ness representative of scientists. Top: Two co-eds of the uptown Arts department develop their poiset'D. Bottom: Mr. Bernie Murray at work in one of our well-equipped labora- tories. 4200b 9. i t S i g i t STAT VIRTUS While we have just presented scientific work as one of our important fields of training, let it not be said that we have forgot the world of thought. In these days when men forget that man's highest power is his power to think, we have not been overcome by ma- terialistic tendencies. It is with pride that we point to the multitude of students here who depart from all material fields and delve deep into the world of philosophy. As we speak of what the French call their Huniversitv Class of men , so can we refer to our contribution to the chinking class tAnalogous Termt. These are our philosophy majors. It is to these that our modern world owes many of its greatest advances Oust what, no- body knowsi. What we may call the Hfree- thinkers who follow modern trends. The re- sults are so easilV seen e results which stem directly from orderly thought, proper values and keen insight. Look at the accident rate!! Look at the number of. wars!! Look at the murders! ! In years to come, we shall be able to look back on our own days and see the re- sults of this modern thought. We shall be able to say, See the results of thoughts based upon our modern, materialistic principles. Look at the great, cultured world we have brought about. One of our boasts may well be the co-eds of the University. While some have gone from extreme Victorianism to extreme mod- ernism, the women of the school have walked Hin medio . While preserving the sweet charms of the olden days, they have made themselves leaned in affairs of public interest. Such things as politics and economics are no longer unknowns to them. The day is gone when only the men retire to the librarv for a cigar. Now the women come, and burn fags. Top: Mr. Don Kramcm of the Philoso- phy Department.

Herringbone Descartes Kirk, self-styled metaphysicicm, of our Chem. de- U-Xlso known as a real guy about the campusJ Between practical scientific endeavor and the world of pure reason and the ob- stroct, there is of course the great field of research in Which Chemists and physicists plod their weary way. The world is rightly amazed by What is shown by these men Who constructed the atom bomb, the jet-propelled planes omd other weapons of the war. But behind each of these there is a world of thought and planning. In many instances, e.g., the discovery of Pluto or Iupiter or Venus or one of those things, the actual discovery is not made due to observation of the phenomena itself, but through reason to the existence of a certain thing. In this field, our representative is Paul Kirk. Mr. Kirk, upon being asked to deliver c1 lecture to one of our advanced Chemistry courses, amazed the students and faculty alike by presenting, to be studied by those present, proton W389V2 from on atom of Q968. Upon hearing of this, the Chemists Club of Vladivostok immediately nominated Mr. Kirk for o lite-time membership in their society. The some day, the great physicist Dr. I. Herring- bone Steinburg was heard. to remark con- cerning Mr. Kirk, As a chemist, he should drop dead. A ' S Eva Kola putting Rubenstein and Casadesus to shame with a bit of Mozartiana. 4203, WARNING! Might we say, in introduction to this warning, that any living person who resembles those represented here is better off dead. But, in all seriousness, it is amazing what fun it is for editors of a feature section to be able to sit down and write about real students. Never let it be said that there is anyone at De Pill about whom we could seriously say There is something lacking. That could never be. And let us also yell at those who yell at the students of De Pill. There are some, a very few indeed, within the confines of the University, who criticize our De Pillians. There are even some who have access to the University publications. These, these destructive criticisers, sit in their isolated cells, unknowing of the world about them, and make desultory remarks con- cerning their fellow-students. Let it be known that we, the editors of the feature section, would never do anything like that. We would never be able to find anything in the students worth criticizing. As a mat- ter of fact, we would never be able to find anything in the students worth anything at all. Indeed, we can find no students at all. As a matter of fact, we can't even find De Pill University. As a matter of fact, We quit I ! f: 2w 9.5.be . IIII'I $ , u: w$w WWW Cy ; s 2; vnr. . v i A -A.4.u...w . NOTICE Some months ago, when the original lay-out of this book was in the process of being made up, the editors decided that they would include a section which would be their own little pet. About the only definite item to be included was a sort of satire against wh at is usually written about the faculty. Starting with that, there would be a take-off on the entire university. To the readers, Time passed, the editors became much too busy to take care of the job, and they finally ended up a few weeks ago by tossing it into our laps. They almost said, literally, HHere are twenty pages e do with it what you will. Well, we have tried to build on the original idea of a little satire about university life. You know the beautiful line that editors or speakers or faculty members try to hand you about how wonderful everything is. We have tried, just for laughs, to do about the opposite. As we have said humorously on the other page under HWarning , we again repeat here most seriously: What we have said here is not the opinion of the students, faculty or even of the editors. In many cases it is more true that the direct opposite would be the opinion held. 4206?
