Out of this desire and in response to this call has sprung The Pur gold of nineteen-hundred and twenty- five—the pioneer annual of Columbia College. When our days at Columbia have become the days of yesteryear and we strive to grasp a few fond memories out of the haze of the by¬ gone, we hope that these pages will preserve in word and picture some of the associations that have made Columbia College life beauti¬ ful to us, and will commemorate the efforts that we have made to be worthy of the high ideals that our college has given us.

Pag Kiglit L ORAS HALL, a spacious building ol brick, crowns the brow of the hill and overlooks the roofs of the city, the towers of in¬ dustry and the broad expanse of the Father of Waters. A bus¬ iness like inspiring atmosphere seems to surround this collegiate hall, the wide windows suggest well lighted rooms and clear assembly halls. Here we feel the spirit of scholasticism and learning. Serious minded students daily prepare their sciences, mathematics, literature, and classical languages, fitting themselves to begin life as well learned men anxious to carry responsibiities and render service to their fellow men. An extensive campus invites the students, weary from diligent study, to partake of the joys of relaxation; the velvety lawn, the white walks, and the impressive building combine to inspire affec¬ tions for the best of Columbia’s ideals. What the soul i.; to man, the church is to the world.” -Disraeli. “For here the habit oL ' the soul Feels less the outer world’s control. And from the silence multiplied By these still forms on every side The world that time and sense has known Falls off and leaves us God alone.” V ' IV T UCKED up against the leafy Hank of Keane Oaks stands Science Hall; — a long narrow building with a tall chimney running up the wall, and a row of little evergreens radiating from either side of the entrance. Within the walls of reddish-brown brick are the chemistry and physics laboratories — veritable “sancti sanctorum” of learning; the habitation of rows and tiles of tall, soldierly looking bottltes, with glass stoppers; and of scores of queer-looking machines that are wont to splutter and fume with angry showers of blue sparks, to the discomfiture of meddling Freshmen. It is here that busy young chemists peer into retorts and test tubes, and heat murky liquids in crucibles. It is here that youthful bacteriologists and bio¬ logists prepare to safeguard the world ' s health and happiness. And from these classrooms come the chemists, physicians, and electricians who, upon the foundation of the Science of the Past, will build the Science of the Future. A new chapter in the history of Columbia was begun with the opening of the new gymnasium. One of the best in the middle west, it will give birth to new ideals, hopes, and inspirations. Under its shadows Columbia athletes will struggle on the gridiron and baseball diamond. On its floors Purple and Gold teams will bid for future victories. There will be shown that indomitable Colum¬ bia spirit which makes men marvel. Through it Columbia will attain still greater preeminence in athletic endeavors. Our Alma Mater believes in “sana mens in sano corpore,” and has always aimed to develop her students into models of moral, mental, and physical perfection. “At his table lie liked friend or neighbor lo convert tion to what was good, just to have verse with. Hid DlMid.nt s often as he could some sensible • ' this means In turned our atten- S ITUATED on the plateau northeast or the chapel, where the cam¬ pus of St. Joseph Hall joins that of Loras Hall, a long, low, solid building with a French roof and a row of little dormer windows fringing the cornice,-that is St. Francis Hall. Not as spacious as St. Joseph Hall, and lacking the imposing splendor of Loras Hall, yet the building is alive with pleasant associations in the mind of every Coumbian. Thanksgiving dinner, the Christmas banquet, retreat, Easter,— all call hack lo mind the picture of the long dining rooms at meal-time, and the steady buzz of conversation as events of campus and classroom are discussed around the tables. Indeed, at Columbia it is very true that all roads lead lo St. Francis Ilall, NTIMATELY associated in tlie hearts of all true Columbians stands St Joseph Hall, the first building of learning and the nucleus from A which the surroundings grew to meet the demands of an active •md growing institution. Throughout the seasons its walls of faded , i k stand as in former days, welcoming youth and instilling into • heir minds high ideals that will aid them on the rugged path through me The chapel adjoining proclaims that Christian training must ' hand in hand with secular knowledge or there is no education. Lre the academic students daily pursue their studies with hopes and dreams of achievement. Here former students turn as to a shrine away from the varied walks of life and look upon then- old hall of learning with gratitude and love. urr-fUE old order changeth giving place to new”. But memory is X not the slave of change. To Columbia’s graduate sons there must always he a wealth of feeling for the old gymnasium, the scene of glorius victories and no less glorious defeats. Within its walls men wearing the Purple and Gold have borne themselves as became the defenders of those colors, winning well and losing well. Within its walls Columbia’s ideals have been forwarded, as they have been forwarded elsewhere, by staunch defenders who gave ihe best that they could give. While the memory of the deeds that were done there remain, the old gymnasium will ever be a call from the past to make Columbia greater and better in every activity.

The time is not long as years go. but eight years make large changes in the personnel of a college, and these last years in particular brought about such trans- f ' filiations as to indicate, we think, a bridge between an old and a new epoch in Columbia’s history. For an illustration, the radio has made its sudden but complete invasion and been sponsored by such enthusiasts as Father Krcimer, J. T. O’Loughlin, and Paul McCarthy. In 1917 the institution was called Dubuque College. Monsignor Dor¬ man. new Pishop of Poise, was president. The war had not yet made itself greatly felt in America, though at the College military training had been introduced and the students all wore khaki. It would be hard to identify that class of First Academics of 1917 with the class of 1925 as it is to-day. On the roll-calls of both, however, would appear the names of Gallagher, R. Murphy, Cannon, Russell, Hartmann. Kessler, O ' Donnell, Eischeid, and Creighton. During its Academy career the class was joined by Delay, Pohr, Ament, and the Drummy brothers. At St. Joseph’s Hall the class saw the rise and passing of the R. ( h T. C. and the S. A. T. C. Conditions were in the wartime flurry. Daily drill, stu¬ dent officers, bugle calls for meals, revei lle, and taps, and the odious phen¬ omenon of ‘extra drill’ were all in the regular round of things. As Fourth Academics the class made their entry to Loras Hall, due to congestion at St. Joseph’s Hall. 1 he first year on the hilltop was not such as to induce the complacency supposed to attach to prospective graduates; the Fourth Acadamics were not Seniors, but ‘preps’. Our history proper dates from 1921, at which time most of the present members matriculated. We were immediately treated to that most vener¬ able of institutions,—the initiation; it was well borne, and observantly, too. for in later years the class showed a proficiency at the technic of the game, producing such an artist as Zoroaster Kuennen. Freshman and Sophomore vears constituted more or less of a nonage, though in the former our basket¬ ball team had the distinction of winning the hardest played inter-mural championship of the decade, from the one hundred and twenty-one mem¬ bers the class could boast at its start, it has dwindled to forty; the number however, makes it the largest Senior class in the historv of the College. At various times newcomers or students ot other years enrolled:—Callahan, Sindelar, Curran, Maher, C. Murphy, Garvey, and McCarthy. When the class was admitted to the Forum Society as Juniors, Francis Mulligan was chosen to lead. 1 his year the Seniors elected Alphonse TJnk, president. Emmet Grace, secretary, and Clair Drummy, class speaker. Then was begun what is probably the most signal achievement of the Class of 1925.—the introduction of an annual at Columbia. The Purgold may make facile reading, but any who have had experience in the compilation of an annual will realize the enormous amount of work and worrv it envolves. It has occupied the stall incessantly since its inauguration last Fall. It here¬ after at Columbia it survives as a regular feature, the names of its originators will perhaps be more than ‘writ in water’.

A I hV J W hK I trt A H M W H H itf M, t rf that of others. Yet we like to think that in the various lines of collegiate achievement we have had a full, if not an unusual, share. Every one of the literary contests has some year or other been won by some member of the class. Gallagher has taken first place in the Short Story Contest, Link in the Verse Contest, and Clair Drummy in the Oratorical Contest. Indeed, so great has been the prowess of the last-mentioned as to win for him the sobriquet of The Orator’,—partly, it is true to contradistinguish him from his twin brother, but partly for his real eminence in speaking. Sindelar has won the German Elocutionary Contest. Houlahan holds the position of Secretary of the Mathematics Club, Grace of the Classical Club, and Link of the Academy of History. Ament is president of the Choir and leader of the Band, in both of which organizations, as well as in the Orchestra, he is accompanied by Sindelar. Kirchcn, Ament, and Mulligan are the schol¬ astic champions. Their names have crowned the Honor Roll (the black and white one) like the sempiternal snow on Mt. Blanc. The present run of excellent football teams at Columbia began i:i RJ21. The war had jarred the College’s athletic prominence, but only temporarily: when other things became normal, the football teams here became super¬ normal, and four years of unparalleled success were due. During this period, the Center position was held by A. Kelly, one of the great football warriors of Columbia’s history. In his Senior year he captained the team, as well as heading the ‘C’ Club. W iley won distinction with his spectacular long runs, and Frank Conlin starred successively at several different positions. Lilly, Doughan, Russell, and Collins proved invaluable squad men. W iley, moreover can be said without much exaggeration to be the track team. In the dashes, the hurdles, the relay, and the broad jump he is supreme. Me mainly was instrumental in winning the Western Intercollegiate Confer¬ ence championship for Columbia last Spring. ()n the baseball team. T. Kelly, heavy hitting second baseman, is a worthy representative. Bowling is a sport that has proved particularly popular to our class and given us such stars as Bird (President of Bowling Association), Rice, Eischeid, Capt. T. Kelly, Clarence Drummy, and Reidy. In their Junior year the class team constituted the Varsity bowling team. Senior year, the most interesting and precarious of the college course, has been passing pleasantly enough. Amicable relations were established with the Juniors last Fall in a Forum ‘smoker’, at which speeches and songs were exchanged and Keenan demonstrated his ability at boxing. The class has been making the first preparations for graduation-—having pictures taken and getting their pins, (on which Sindelar goi stuck). Kuennen won a noted wrestling match with a redoubtable under-classman; when asked where he picked up his extraordinary talent at wrestling, he responded that it was from his grapplings with eighteenth century French philosophers. Examin¬ ations gave perhaps more surprises than disappointments. Nolan had great¬ ness thrust upon him when knighthood was in flower. So much for the external history of the class of 1 ( )25. The inner record, the story of its escapades, hopes, fears, disappointments, realizations, will not be set down; like most of the best poetry it is not written. College days, they tell us, are soon forgotten, and it is n«� t hard to fancy this sometimes when one sees an Alumnus returning to pay a visit. But the stay of the average student at College is during hi impressionable years, and whether one wills it or not, one i stamped for the future, though the past be not! often recalled.

Scarcely had we halted vested us in the rites f upper classmen. We, in turn deserves another warmly welcomed the I unior Class trekked Fifty-four men en- become tile largest and tile Seniors in¬ turn, feeling that one good reshmen into Loras Mall. as yet unconquered by the class we will ml be graduated hill Gladly did we accept the obligations imposed on us as upper classmen and besides this sought new fields to conquer to prove that there is not only quantity but als • quality in the Class of ‘26. In taking inventory of the College activities one finds that six men in the Class are members ot the Monogram Club, and three of these have captained successful C olumbia teams. The Class has supplied talent ‘a la Thespis’ so long and so well that difficult roles have become synonymous with the names of Junior stars. The men have m t forgotten the prime purpose of our present occupation and can be commended for the exceptionally large number of Junior honor students. ( hie very successful College publication is piloted by a Junior. Poetry, it seems, is practically the only field of ’26. Still, Rome wasn’t made in a day- next year. Perhaps someone might wish to confine our successes to book-lore, but we can refer such a one to the inter-class indoi r champions. Practically every Columbia activity has been influenced for the better by some member of the Junior class. We proudly claim 0 • be one hundred per cent, boosters for a bigger, a better, and an unbeatable Columbia. e proudly look back upon a singularly successful year both for our school and for ourselves. We earnestly hope that the high standards set as Juniors will not wane but that our enthusiasm and effort for the Purple and ( i Id will increase and grow with years. Leery man in our class looks back with kind memories upon the past school year. All of us have formed new and pleasant acquaintances, and have come t • a better appreciation of the true worth of our old paL. es¬ pecially to the graduating class do we wish to express our genuine appre¬ ciation for their helpful assistance. I he [uniors and Seniors have been drawn closely together in the mutual quest for that elusive something termed an education. I the breathless yearling lamb win told us that he expected an average of “P� ‘‘ because nearly all the professors had informed him that he might reasonably expect to get stung, to him we listened and smiled. At the close of each semester we have gazed, breathless, at the handwrit¬ ings on the wall—and did not smile. ( )ur pleasures and sorrows have been shared: trials have c« me because we have striven, and he who strives can¬ not always enjoy rest and ease. All of us hope that our pleasures came because we did our duty. lo the Seniors we extend our congratulations and wish for them the acme of success. Most of us have been together since Freshman da vs. a few of us were classmates in the Academy. Our fondest hope is to be graduated together next year, the largest and most illustrious class in C olumbian annals. After our caravan has been dispersed we shall make C olumbia our Mecca and each day turn our kindliest thoughts and mo t pleasant memories back t � our old c dlege � � n the hill. to ¥ to to yu to yn to to )M to y to y to y to to y to y to- y to y to y to y to w to y to y to to y to y to y to y to y «««««««« I 9 2 5 «� ««««««£ Forty-Two TONY IN YELLOWSTONE PRE-tfEDIC ROSES THORNS SACRISTAN NONKEY ON THESflCK EASTERN 2 STUDES SKIPPER ON THE __ ROCKS ' Junior Jargon A prancing young captain named (Julie.

W itness our contribution to the greatest basketball team in the history of the school. Kellogg, Dorsey, and Morgan. W’e entered the mighty portals of Iowa ' s mightiest institution of learn¬ ing as mere Freshmen, and have been rising steadily ever since. As tin- title of this masterpiece of literature shows, we have surmounted the diffi¬ culties of Latin, Math., etc., and to-day we are as far advanced along the path of learning as any self respecting Sophomore ought to be. W e have made our mark in scholastic attainment, as well as in athletics, the honor- roll to the contrary, notwithstanding. Also, a sufficiently large number f us have made the red honor-roll; enough to scrape up a speaking acquaint¬ ance with the Reverend Disciplinarian. Ask him. Along social lines, we are very fortunate in having among out number such sheiks as ( dinger, CVogan. Anderson, and Schilling. W e have all done our share in supporting the “Tea-dance’ , and hope to continue to do so for two years more. Then too, we occasionally have a “get-together , in some¬ one’s room, which, of course, has a limited attendance. These meetings gen¬ erally end under the bed. or behind the wardrobe, but what’s the difference, we are there. Of course, it does n t add to the dignity of a Soph to be told to come out from under, but such occasions are rare enough, to be spectacu¬ lar. Then, too, we have our music. W ' e are very well represented in the various musical organizations of the college. In the choir, the silvery tones of Hussey, Hruscia, Schilling and (ioerdt are heard occasionally, and in the band, use your own judgment. Also, where lives the man who has not heard the tremulous trues of “Tommie’s” cornet, accompanied by Hauer on the Hanjuke, with Damge occasionally piping in with his sweet (?) tenor. W ' e also have our class teams. “Cuttcms” mighty bowlers, daily thrill the expectant crowds with their two-hundred games; and “Matt’s classy basketeers,—well, we need not relate their performances. ( )ur boys also con¬ tribute their share to the varsity squads. W itness the aforementioned “Circus , “Dick’’, and our president, Pete Morgan. To the football squad we gave three of the best men of the team, Thomas, Kellogg, and Tschirgi. ' IV- the baseball team we contributed the doughty little Rourke. and our friend, (ills Lynch. In tennis, Pete Morgan again comes to the front. W’e also have a salesman with us.

It is a chronicle c f present future glory—and senior dignity. It is something pertinent t« • exempt from the Sophomore ' s worldly wisdom, the Junior’s alcy, and the Senior’s worry—the Freshman. At the same time that the Seniors, Juniors, and Sophomores were return¬ ing to Columbia to resume the old grind, several tons of Freshmen entered the same doors, but they came to conquer a new world which they had al¬ ready pursued as far as Dubuque via the I. C. and kindred means of travel. They came to conquer, instead they were initiated. The initiation, how¬ ever, dimmed the ardor not even of the least energetic among them. They at once set about the all-important work of doing something, or rather any¬ thing. The obstacles were many; the academy graduates found that there was no handball alley: the Chicagoans found that Dubuque was net a wild western town; the lazy f und that the morning walk was a terrible reality; the roomer found that one room was not enough for one student and vice versa; the dormitory men found that the Sophs had perfected the science (or is it art) of dumping ; and everybody found that the disciplinarians (all of them) meant it. l� ut now where arc the difficulties that were o im¬ pregnable entrenched some months ago? (lone are they all. The Frosh have soared ever Prince of W ales. What of all the ambition? In the first place athletics was found to be a good safety valve for it. Football immediately felt the bolstering effect of the new avoirdupois and gray-matter, ' flu se who didn’t make the squad (tor they all went out for it) got plenty of exercise cheering their friends and razzing their enemies. The result wa that a good time was had by all except the pessimists and the unfortunates that got in Fred Schwind’s way. Since that time the indefatigable Freshmen have gone out for every h rm of varsity athletics available, including crossword puzzles. So far they have all received or at least earned . +’ in the realm of athletics. Another well developed trait of the average Freshman is his capacity for digression in class.

P . Kami president, Marvin Prochaska vice-president, and James Galloglv secretary and treasurer. Karly in Autumn the Cee-Av entertainers organized an or¬ chestra composed mainly of Juniors.

' Then came another Commencement Day—and Senior dignity. ’ 24—’25 “II est arrive”—our Senior year. Early in the year our class president V. 11. Kami called a meeting and we elected John McLain secretary, and Charles Derail valedictorian. The class selected old gold, slip-over sweaters, and a neat ring with the “C . A.— 2? design. ' To the football team we gave a captain and twelve other men good and true. ' The handball and senior division class basketball championships were safely stowed away by the Senior Academics. Our baseball accomplish¬ ments were a fitting climax to our variegated activities in athletic endeavors. In retrospect we can truly say that our years at Columbia Academy liave been wars of progress, of achievement, of promise. The occasional dis¬ appointments only caused us to retrench more strongly and to carry on with a firmer tread. Some of us will enter the fields of active life, others will enter some of our great American universities, but most of us hope to join each other again and continue our work in the collegiate department of C ol¬ umbia. Put wherever we will be, our friendships will be stored in the heaven of remembrance where “thieves cannot enter, and where angels fear to tread”. %% K « « « � � � � £ ££ « « «THE PURGOLD3ytX t « £;£ K A UK hN J A M M M %H A ¥ W A X K { When Fourth Ac’s N 7ere Bright Turn Carr, trying to get back in time via the crowded street car. arose to offer his seat to a young lady carrying a pair of skates.

Already we could see the coming end of cur high school life, and it was with renewed life and energy that we strove to attain our goal. Throughout the year our class has been outstanding in school activities. ( )n all occasions we have manifested our school spirit, especially in our co¬ operation with the other classes. In looking back over the three years we have traversed, we hope that our boast may be pardoned when we sav that our class has contributed a great deal t • brighten the name of Columbia. In scholastic ability the class of ‘26 has always been near the top. Sem¬ ester after semester our class has furnished a large percentage of those whose names appeared on the coveted Honor Roll. Those who distinguished themselves most consistently were, Fencl, C assidy Schielt ., McKnany, W ' ill- ging, (Ireteman. and Farrell. In the recent Short Story contest, two of our members. Joseph Smitherum and Fdwin Imeck. distinguished them¬ selves by winning first and second honors respective!v. Several of our men were stars on the football field and on the basketball court. n the academy football squad the class was verv capable repre¬ sented by Lynch, Klees, Kave, J. Ryan, J. McCuinn, F. Lehn ,and K. Ma¬ guire. The basketball team owed a great deal of its success to “Red” Coii- uel and John Kaye. The various organizations have not looked in vain for material in our class. I he musical strains of the band and orchestra w« uld certainlv sound less melodious it those of our number in those organizations would sud¬ denly go nil a strike. The smooth functioning of the wheels of the Dramatic Staff would unquestionably be disrupted if the two important cogs, Finley and Helm, would be removed. The leading future journalists « f the country are already proving their mettle by their work with the CKK-AY staff. Kugene ilging is an associate editor and Frederick Rehn’s name can be found in connection with the Scholichronicon. All in all. we review our years together a happy ones, years of which we may well be proud. As we look forward, with one short year of mu high school course remaining, we hope to attain the greatest possible suc¬ cess in our future endeavors. v M v f - ' - we S- ' ££ « 3b£ £:£ � THE PURGO LD«« «« h M M itf M hV ! rf ! � V hV J M V M M ?A K M zH M X ?A sH M ««� ««««� « 9 2 5 ««««« � « ! :iu« Sixiy-Nin Third Academics CLASS ROLL Ball.

The numerous ana seemingly unending corridors of St. Joseph Hall puzzled us for some time and we kept everyone whom we met busy as traffic cops. We were conscious of our numerical superiority over the other classes, but we soon discovered that even in this most democratic of schools we were not thereby constituted the ruling class. On September 10, 1924, we returned as second year men and could gaze with arched eye-brows at the new crop of “freshies ; a privilege which tradi¬ tion gives to the Sophomores of any institution. Many of our original num¬ ber had fallen by the way-side but enough new men had been recruited dur¬ ing the summer vacation to fill the depleted ranks. Yim, vigor, and vitality are words synonymous with our class. William Cl ernes possessed them to such a degree that he overcame all competition for the position of guard on the academy football team. Albert Xeider and Robert Kaye, however, were convincing evidence that Clemcs did not have a monopoly of the football ability in our class. The champion Light Teenic Weenies could not have been successful without the services of Captain Irwin Kress, Bernard Baker, Frank Dutcher, Alfred Lolwing. Wm. McLaughlin, and Clod ins (lossman. The reason that the Teenie Weenies had to fight as hard as they did for the championship is due to the presence of Cdenn Ball, Herman Chapman, William Mullen, and Marl Kennedy on the Midget team! The Columbia Juniors who won the championship from the Intermediates owe a debt of gratitude to Clifton Fleischman, Harold Shea, Marcus Butler, and Harold Reynolds. The strength of the opposition was due to Robert Kaye, Albert Xeider, George Schaerer, Walter Tckippe, Irwin Kress and Wm. McLaughlin.

It had last hall what might be called an impromptu beginning; a few days after it was first suggested, and before its Staff had a meeting, a four-page paper called THK SIT )K FSM AXFTTK made its debut. The name, TIIL SIT )K hSM AXKTTL, was only temporary. The first move of the management after preliminary matters had been provided for was the launching of a Name Contest among the students. From about a hundred entries, Michael Martin, ' 26, won with the title Tllk LURIA.W a name commemorating bishop Loras first bishop of Dubuque. The success of the publication was immediate and lasting. It has brought itself to a vital position in the College life. THF L ) RIA X is something more than a Little Spokesman r a sup¬ plement to TIIL SIT )KKSMA . I he province of the newspaper is College news when it is fresh and even ‘scoops’. The latest events in athletics, en¬ tertainment, and general news items are passed quickly to students and alumni. Kditorials, departments, and humorous ventures are regular feat¬ ures of its bi-weekly appearance. y y ft y y y y y y y y w y w y y y y y y )k y y ««« «¥«««« 1 25 5 ? «««««««« ££ «� � THE PURCOLD «� ££3b£ s 3 $ y V y V v v y Vi y VI y Vs V y V y v y v y v y v y v y v y v y v y v y v v y v y v y v ya v y «� � ¥««¥«� 192 5 � ««««««« w w A hV fck b V H y V y M M W M H H The College Spokesman EDITORS-IN-CHIEF Alphonse M.

It aims to provide an author¬ itative record of college and academy activities, and t« • encourage preparatory students to better literary effort. The scope of its work may be seen in a statement of its regular features. Its first page carries fresh news items designed to interest present and former students, and to preserve a record t notable college activities. Its literary page presents a biweekly review of the best academy productions in the fields of the essay, short story, book review, and crse. The athletic achievements of both college and academy teams and the recreational events pertaining to the general student body are recorded in a special section, while the con¬ cluding page is devoted to the lighter side of college life. THE CEE-AY was first published in the spring of 1 ( )22, Michael |. Martin being its first editor. After a semester’s publication, THE CEE-AY was discontinued, I 11 E LOLLEdik SPOKESMAN being changed in char¬ acter from a strictly collegiate publication to a medium of literary expression f r both halls. However, in September, lH2d. the faculty board of publica¬ tions decided to put into each department, collegiate and academic, a -Indent paper especially suited to the interests o! the respective halls. Hence, in ad¬ dition to the (piarterlv COkkECiE SPOKESMAN Columbia now supports two biweeklies THE l.oRIAN and THE CEE-AY. ya y y y ft y y ye ye ye y y w ye w ye w ye. h ye n ye w ye w ye ye w ye h ye ye h ye h ye Eighty M M M 6 M « « ££ «THE PURGO LD %£$: « «L « £ 2 ' V« 35 Vf y V y y v y v y V yg VI VI y V y V A Vi )te V A Vi A Vi A Vi y Vi y Vi y v ye Vi y Vi y Vi ys Vi Vi )te Vi y Vested Choir “Not the rich viol, trump, cymbal, nor horn. Guitar, nor cittern, nor the pining flute. Are half so sweet as tender human words.” —Harry Cornwall Long before tin poet penned these lines the Church, struck by the tender notes which fell from instruments divinely made and tuned, gave recognition to the superior sweetness of the human voice by summoning to her service, as the handmaid of her altars, the full-voiced choir in which “harmony divine so smoothes her charming tones, that Cod’s ear listens delighted”. In the front ranks of all such stands Columbia s Nested Choir whose continued achievement, whether it be in solemn chant or faithful interpre¬ tation of old masters, such as Palestrina. Orlando di Lasso, and Yittoria, or the Madrigal or folk song, has won the unstinted praise and high esteem of priests and laymen, music critics and uncultured men alike. Xcr has the present year proved any exception. Mcginning with a personnel of untrained v oices, the choir in a few short months attained such perfection, due for the the greater part to the remarkable directive and interpretative ability of it Director, that its services were eagerly s light after by Church and lay authorities whenever a distinctive brand f choral music was desired for festive and other occasions. Among which we might mention the annual banquet of the Dubuque Chamber ol Commerce, a radio concert at a nation- all v known broadcasting station, and the s hmn ceremonies of I‘aim Sundav at the Cathedral. « «� ««««« 1925 «««««««« l’ag« Right y-Om Left to ripht: A.

The constitution as drawn up by the President was accepted by the Department of ncicnt ! anguage-s. A!! faculty members and students of Senior Latin or second year Creek are ex nicio member , and any student o. : Lathi or Creek in the college depart¬ ment may apply lor membership, the application being passed upon by the ex officio members. The Club had an enrollment of eighty-five in its first ye r and showed a marked increase of membership during its second year. Montblv meetings are held and are well attended, not only by the mem¬ bers, but also by visitors who are cordially invited. The purpose of the Club is cultural,—to acquaint the students with the vital position of the people of Creece and Rome, and to foster an interest in their literature and language. The many characteristics of ancient culture which transcend the time-limits of classroom work are thoroughly treated by members who have made a special study of their assigned topic. ' The Club, therefore, not only supplements class work but also encourages in¬ dividual investigation and study.

History, after all, is not a dry, tiresome chron¬ icle of the past. It is a living current that finds its beginnings in the dim light of antiquity and flows in an unbroken stream down to our own day. The events of the present are just as important as those that have transpired in the past. With the object in view of arousing interest and provoking discussion in the historv of our own times the Academy ha been founded.

During the past season a carefully balanced program was presented, consisting of two classics, “ The Workhouse Ward” by Lady (iregory, and “A ight at an Inn” by Lord Dunsany; and two modern light comedies, “And The Lamp Went Out by J. P. Pierce, and “The Aviator ’ adapted from J. Montgomery’s New York comedy success. “The W’orkhouse W ard”, a clever little playlet dealing with two per¬ fectly natural, that is quarrelsome, old Irishmen who could neither get along with, or without, each other was superbly acted by M. Iladdigan and h P. Mulligan ablv assisted by J. E. Lymes in the feminine role. Ed. McPartland played the stellar role in “A Night at an Inn with that grace and sureness that only “Mac can bring to a part. The parts of the accomplices offered A. Rhomberg, A. Yorwald, and M. Martin ample opportunity to display their dramatic powers. W Hauer played the role of the Hindoo Idol. This was followed by the side-splitting farce “And The Lamp W ent Hit in which C. Schmitt, Hill Anderson, M. Prochaska, D Amcche, and Luke Label did some very clever acting. The real event of the year, however, in dramatic circles was the staging of “d ' he Aviator . W’e might search our vocabulary for suitable words to praise the clever actors who made possible one of the most enjoyable even¬ ings of our stay at C’oumbia: but what is praise without go d works. There¬ fore, we promise Edward McPartland, in recognition of his superb acting, a date with our best girl on any free evening during the school vear. W e know it’s dangerous, “Mac , but your acting has made u reckless. Edward Hussey, who acted the part of the daring young French aviator to perfec¬ tion, has earned the right to one dance with the aforementioned best girl at the Senior Prom. P� ut only one, Eddie, only one. W’e fear thv dashing ways. Clem. Schmitt we hereby specify as the publisher of out first book, while Arthur Yorwald will be given first choice as cur publicity man. To John E. Lymes for his exceptional portrayal of the stately socictv dame goes the privilege.of chaperoning the Senior Prom, while Michael Iladdigan. the fastidious society gentleman, may share honors with him. Marvin Pro¬ chaska and Leo Loxtercamp, those vivaciou society belles, we nominate as May Queens for their respective halls. To “Skip” Hardv, for his realistic interpretation of the crooked sheriff, we be queath cur ethics’ notes with a commentary on same. Andrew Evans, whose clever antics in the part of the portly mechanician contributed so much to the success of the play, recommend as a mechanician for (Lather Kricmer’s Lord, while to Anth Rhomberg goes the honor of leading the ]unior Prom, and he may cl as a partner either firace Douglas or Madeline Riley. To Luke Labe x ijl entrust the one unhonored by Mr. Rhomberg. W e are nearly out of giit , but there remains those charming little bell boys, Roman A. Schares, Louis L. hrnsdorf, and Herbert A.

It has been through the efforts of Eddie Anderson more than any other man that Columbia c ‘liege has taken a pos¬ ition of leadership in football. Com¬ ing to Dubuque three years ago he found Columbia fairly well known in one corner of the state of Iowa. Cn- der his guidance the team was recog¬ nized as one of the leading in the mid¬ dle west. Anderson has a genius for developing players from unpromising material which is almost miraculous. JOHN W. CRETZMEYER Coach of Baseball and Academy Football To “Cretz” goes the honor for Col¬ umbia’s distinction in baseball. Long before football and basketball brought honor to the college, Columbia was recognized as having one of the lead¬ ing baseball teams in the state. ' The winning of the championship of the Western Interstate conference last year was but an incident in the victor¬ ious career of Coach Cretzmeyer. In addition to his duties as varsity base¬ ball mentor, Mr. Cretzmeyer also finds time to coach academy football. The practically unbeatable teams of 1922-23 are proofs of his success as a coach. to Y to W to to w to y to y to y to y to y to yg to y to y to to y to y to y to y to ya to y to W to y to y to y to to y ?rS««««� «� 1925 «««««� ] 54 « on - 11 nmh nr] Two .j zjr us ui us ur usurnsur-usur ' usur-usuratsur ' usur ' usurinur usurur ' usuri4s2f ' ' usur ' usur ' usur ' usur inur ' uszir ' usur us ur t s ur us 3c :x -Ow 3c: 3c : 3c: 2c:x 3c : 5c: 5c%. 3c:£L %zy± %zy± %zy± 3c : 3c:x3c: 3c: L Page m ‘ Hundred Thiv M W A A J A Jtf rf kk M V. t H J 3 ?’ t T ' J � £ f s ,| I ' ftt - • i i rV t.

It speaks for itself. The statis¬ tician shows live games won, one tied and two lost, and sixty-two points, compared with the forty-one of our opponents. The team of 1924 can go down through history as one of the best in the history of Columbia. Outweigh ed in every game, pitted against schools with four or five times the enrollment of Columbia, and made up of many inexperienced men it turned the dismal croakings of early season predictions into the paens of glory and victory on Thanksgiving day. When the season started the outlook was none too bright for Columbia. In the baekfield Coach Anderson missed John Aldera, Jack Howes, and Syl McCauley—not to mention Tom Brennan, Bob Martini, and others who were expected to win the coveted letters which they had so closely approached the year before. It was in the line, however, that the coach had the greatest field for his wonderful power as a developer of football players. Missing from the forward wall was a quartet of giants, the great Calvin, Cashen, Boyle, and Xockles, who had formed a six foot barrier from tackle to tackle. Center and ends were well taken care of but tackles and guards were as scarce as igloos in Arizona. W ithin a few short weeks, however. Coach Anderson had built up one of the mightiest lines in the conference. There may have been in past years greater individual stars on Colum¬ bia teams, but it is doubtful if there was ever more perfect team work. Stay¬ ing power, perseverance, ability to absorb punishment—all of these Spartan qualities were found in Columbia ' s team. A record for Columbia and possibly for the state was set during the season of 1924 when Coach Ander¬ son kept the same eleven men on the field for three successive games. A test like this proves the mettle of the true football player. If the eleven Columbia players had not trained faithfully, if they had not the spirit of perseverance, and if they had not been well instructed to take care of them¬ selves they would never have established this record. Columbia is lucky that an overwhelmingly numerical majority of the players will be on the team next year. The quality of the men lost, how¬ ever, makes a gap that is hard to fill. The three letter men who leave by? the sheepskin route are Captain Andy Kelly, ' Pom W iley, and Frank Conlin. Kellv the best center that Columbia ever had, Tom W ilev, almost twice as fast as any other man in the conference, and Frank Conlin, who repeatedly broke through the line to throw runners for losses and to smash down punts _ can Hiev be replaced? This forms a problem for Coach Anderson to con¬ sider next September. Of the reserve squad, the school loses Ed Lilly, full- back, and Toddie Collins, quarterback. W ith these exceptions the entire squad will be back. Columbia ' s slogan can well be “On to victory in 1925“ with the following men back in Purple and Gold: Bernie White, Joe Kellogg. Frank Less, Fred Schwind, Gailen Thomas, A1 Rntringer, W alter Tschirgi, Joe Ball, Jack Carbcrry. Matt Kelsh, Louis W hite, Andy Evans, and Donald Xoonan. Besides these there remain reserve squad: 1 faebig, ITolmberg, Lynch. Mulcahy, Schrempf, Schaeffer, Hussey, Mc- thc following members of the Dick Carberry, Smith, Goebel. Guire, Dorsey, Russell and Koob. y y v w y y y y y y v y w y y w h y y y y y y «� «««� � « 19 2 5 P:iere One Humlrofl Fix ■ Game by Game Columbia 13—Wisconsin Mines 2. Columbia launched it’s 1P24 gridiron season with the traditional season opener and after the traditional hard battle won the traditional victory by defeating Wisconsin School of Mines at Du¬ buque on September 27. It was the first college game in their careers for several men on the squad. Columbia 7—Coe 3. “And when we do, well all we got to say, is there’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight. ' ' Columbia walloped the highly touted Coe college team, for years supreme in Iowa collegiate football and the refrain of the eld battle song was literally true as celebrating students make the welkin ring with exultation over the death of old King Coe. With the possible exception of the fight which won them a 7-7 tie with Wisconsin the Kohawks put up the hardest fight of the season against Columbia. Detroit 19—Columbia 3. After out-playing them for three periods the plucky Columbia team finally lost an epic battle to Detroit at Detroit on October 10. Detroit sport writers who saw the game grew rhapsodic about Eddie Anderson and his team. We quote from the Detroit Free-1‘ress 1 “Only in the fourth were the Iowans outplayed —“Columbia was impres¬ sive from the opening kickoff. ' —“Teams with greater reputations have staged far inferior exhibitions on Dinan field ’ Columbia 14—De Paul 0. The Columbia second team was used for the greater part of the game against De Paul university at De Paul field n October 24. During the second quarter Coach Anderson inserted the regu¬ lars who after piling up a two touchdown lead stepped out and let the scrubs and the De Paul warriors battle on equal terms during the remainder of the game. Columbia 13—Valparaiso 10. On October 31, Columbia college did what the famous Centre college was not able to do by defeating Valparaiso uni¬ versity. Valparaiso, a heavy, fast team, made considerable gains through the line, and used a successful forward pass attack. Tschirgi in the back- field and Conlin and Sell wind on the line were out-standing players. Columbia 0—St. Viator 0. “Columbia and St. Viator did not settle the championship of the Western Interstate conference in Grant Park stadium yesterday but they did prove that a football game is never called on account of rain, mud, or hurricane ’. I his wise crack in a Chicago paper following our Armistice day battle with St. iator, sums up the entire game. It was the consensus of opinion that on dry field Columbia would have romped away from the heavy St. Viator team. As the Chicago Tribune said: “Col¬ umbia outplayed the Pourbonnais gridders with its aerial attack and plung¬ ing work. I lie semi-liquid condition of the field and driving rain prevented sc ri ng.

Walter Tschirgi hit the zenith of stardom in the game with Valparaiso. Among other spectacular feats he intercepted in the shadow of the goal a forward pass which would have meant certain defeat for r lum- hia. Tschirgi (they call him “Soubbs” for short) was the most � ependahle hackfioM man on the team. He was a plunger par excellence and his interference was without flaw. If Tschirgi received the same sterling interference which he gave he would have gained more ground than any man in (ho conference, lie is eligible for one more year of football at Columbia. Tom Wiley, 159, Halfback, Edyewood, Iowa. The season of 1921 rang down the curtain on the football career of the fastest half¬ back that Columbia has ever known. This speed demon is Tom Wiley, track champion of the Western Interstate loop, and the fast¬ est man in the conference either on the cinde- path or on the gridiron. In a Id it ion to his ability on open and broken Pel.Is Wih y was Columbia ' s chief—one might al- most say Columbia’s only—defense against forward passes. 11 is speed enabled him to cover tin entire defensive haekfleld. 11 is playing at the laither game provided a fit¬ ting climax for his four years of stardom. John Joel Ball, 155, Fullback, Ruthven, lown. Joe Hall thrives on opposition. The more men that try to stop him going through in., line, the further he is apt to go. Hall well deserves honorable mention among the great¬ est fullbacks in Columbia ' s history. It is probable that there never has been a more powerful plunger in the history of the school With head down, feet pushing him ahead with the drive of cylinders on a locomotive, he could go through a stone wall if necess¬ ary. It would be impossible to single nut any one game in which Hall starred. He was good for two or three yards every time that Kntringer called his signals. Albert Entringer, 125, Quarterback. Dubuque. “Clitic” Kntringer weighed only li’f. pounds during the hardest games of the sea¬ son. but he most emphatically was i if a featherweight above the ears. Kntringer was the most well known player on the Columbia team this year. At Chicago, De¬ troit, La Crosse, and Decorah, tin first ipics- tion that spectators asked was “Where is Kntringer?” Coaches gave their nv-n onle s to stop him at all costs. He excelled in punting and returning punts, in passing and in open field running. When some ' i o pound bruiser picked himself up after he had been spilled by our Qua rt erback Ic generally asked: “How do they get that way calling that murderer Cutie?” to w to ya to ya to V to ya to w to w to ya to ya to yg to ya to ya to ya to ya to y to ya to ya to ya to ya to to ya to ya to ya to ya to ya «¥«««««� � 19 2 5 ««««¥«� «� One Hundred Right Page Jtf X M X X X X M X M $X Bernard White, 15S, End. Eldora, Iowa. Hernie White, according to the votes cast in The Purgold All-Time Columbia team competition, is the best end that Columbia ever had. Accord inf? to Coach Anderson, who won All-American honors hack in 1921. White ' s playing at the Detroit game showed him to he of All-American calibre. In this game he gave the Detroit fans a real treat by hurling a pass half the distance of the Held. Mis excellence in every sport would win him a place on All-Time Columbia bas¬ ketball and baseball teams also if they were chosen. This was his second year of com¬ petition. He is eligible for one more year. Frank Conlin, 179, Tackle, Columbus, Wis. If any man on the Columbia team knows football from every angle of the game, that man is Frank Conlin. Conlin finished an eventful gridiron career at tackle last Thanksgiving day after he had tried the center, fullback, and end positions. The fact that he was a success it. his new position is shown by the fact that he received several votes for the All-Time Columbia football team and is thereby rated one of the best tackles in the history of the school. He starred in the Valparaiso game. Joe Kellogg, 157, End, Janesville. Wis. .Joe Kellogg also played his second year at end last season. Joe started the sea¬ son with more than a just share of bad luck. He sprained both ankles in the Columbia- Coe battle but nevertheless continued to play until he was forced to leave the game. Although this slowed him up a bit it could not take away the fighting spirit which has made him a success for two seasons at Columbia. Kellogg excelled on getting down undei punts, and in defensive work. The fact that Coach Anderson used him in every game shows his value to the team. Frank Less, 165. Tackle, Cascade. Iowa. When a freshman can step in and grab a place on a championship college football eleven, play throughout the season at the most difficult line position, and tenia in through three gruelling games without be¬ ing substituted for—he must be a lir.Al. football player. This is the performance ot Frank Hess who was sent in by Coach An¬ derson to fill one of tht vacant tackle posi¬ tions and held it with distinction during t lie entire season. Game by game he grew better. I ’age « Mo 11 undred Xim Letter Men Fred Schwind, 185, Guard, Cascade, Iowa. Fred Sclnvind, a freshman, pi lying his first year on the Columbia college football team. was, nevertheless. thought good enough to receive several votes for the All- Time Columbia football team selected by Tne Purgohl. Schwind will be remembered as the guard who broke through to throw Har¬ ris of Valpo for a ten yards loss, thereby breaking up a march to the goal which promised to defeat Columbia. I .a Crosse sent its first play through bis .-fide of tIn¬ line. and he wrecked it so completely that they let him alone during tin rest tf the game Matt Kelsh, 170, Center, Dougherty, Iowa. It was in the Coe game last October. Af¬ ter Andy Kelly, first string center had left the game. Matt Kelsh dashed in to take his position. In keeping with all football tradition the Coe quarterback directed his next play through the substitute. Hut it failed and Columbia, with the reputation of being impregnable at center, kept its record dean. Throughout the rest of tin- game Kelsh starred, intercepting several forward passes and making the opposing center pass the ball all over the field. Kelsh should be one of Columbia’s best next year. Gailen Thomas, 143, Guard, Hazleton, Iowa. I’p in Detroit and down at Coe college they are still talking about a scrappy little guard who made opposing tackle positions look like the great open spaces. It suffices to quote Stanley Brink writing for the De¬ troit Free Cross: “(failen Thomas, left guard was the other half of tin- defense etghing 113 pounds. Thomas had tin- speed V- f }. halfback and hit like a Jin pounder 1 util removed in tin last period Thomas v. as half a line in himself.” Jack Carberry, 162, End, Ames, Iowa, nut of the multitude of men out for ' end positions. Coach Anderson chose .lack Car- berry, a freshman, as the best man to take the place of either White or Kellogg in ease hese men Were forced to leave the game ai berry started the game at Detroit ami put up a wonderful fight as long as he was in. That he is a fighter with real spirit is shown by the fact that he entered the De¬ troit battle almost before he h id i e -ovei ed from a serious illness. Carberry has all of the essential qualities of a good football player and should be one of the biggest cogs in Anderson ' s machine next year. 3 lf-% 19 2 5 lf-% tu hr ar -pi v« y v Va V y v y« y vi w XF V y V y vi y Vi y v y v y v y vi y vi y v y vi w X w Vi y vi y vi y v X fa page One Hundred T n ■m : w Letter Men puRcoLD ayt .

Jiggs” Xoonan played in more quarters Mian any substitute last year. Starting in the opening game with Wisconsin School of Mines where he played almost the entire battle he proved to be one of tile most prom¬ ising halfbacks in the school. Noonan met the real test in the Detroit game when he took Kntringer’s place at quarterback. He consistently outpunted the Detroit kicker and tackled the burly Titan hack field men as if they were infants. Undoubtedly the best kicker on the squad, a good passer, and possessed of a lion heart he will make good next year. Andy Evans, 210, Guard, Chicago. III. Andy Evans, beyond any possibility of argument, was the heaviest man on the Columbia football squad. Despite his weight, however, he was sufficiently fast to tit in with the lighter men whose speed made (.’ol- umhia ' s line one of the nnvst dangerous in the conference. On defense he was the pro¬ verbial stonewall, all by himself. Evans came to Columbia from St. Itita ' s high school Chicago, where he had put up a good tight against Columbia academy in 1923. He has played in enough quarters to show his mot¬ tle and Columbia fans are glad that he is eligible for three more years of football at Columbia.

' l Tw.lv VXXXXXX XX XX XX XX XX XX XXXXXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXX XX XX XX XX XM Ttf The Season Probably at no time since football was started i n Columbia did a pair of coaches face a squad made up of such light and inexperienced men, as was the squad which reported for academy football to Coach John V. Cretz- meyer and Father Luke Striegel last fall. Captain Mark Tobin, who had won his letter as a substitute fullback the year before was the only man on the squad who had previous high school football experience. All of the other members of the squad had not even been on the academy reserve. They were recruited from the ranks of the Teenic-Weenies, of the Midgets, and from those who had never been in a football uniform in their lives. I ' hrough the expert coaching and unilagging efforts of Mr. Cretzmeycr and Father Striegel by the time of the first game a working squad was assembled. It was with fear and trembling that the unexperienced academy preps lined up against St. Patrick’s high school at Cedar Rapids on Satur¬ day October 11. With the exception of Captain Mark Tobin it was the first game for every man in the lineup—now they confess that they expected a walloping. After Heller had smashed up a punt to make the first touchdown, the Columbians took new life and started to run all over the husky Cedar Rapids opponents. The only thing that kept the score down to 15 to 0 was the ten minute limit on the quarters. On Wednesday, October 15. Columbia academy landed itself into the college class by walloping Deck Wolters’ Waukon Junior College team, 13 to 6. The academics outplayed their heavier and more experienced col¬ legian rivals in every department of the game After Klees had run for thirty yards on an intercepted pass early in the quarter, Waukon had not a chance. The college score came in the last few minutes of play on a blocked punt. The academy hit a decided slump when it met St. Thomas high school of Rockford in a 7 to 7 tie game at Dubuque on Saturday, October 25. After a first quarter which was all in favor of Columbia, long runs and a brilliant forward pass attack enabled St. Thomas t come from behind to knot the count. If the academy had discovered its ability to forward pass earlier in the game the story of the historic battle of Calena might have been different. Without that “if ' . however, Columbia was defeated 13 to 6 at Calena on Friday, October 31. One Zipp. a Calena player, practically beat the Columbia preps single handed during the early part of the game. In the final quarter three long forward passes by Klees took the ball down the entire length of the field. A Thanksgiving day battle lost to St. Rita ' s high school by the score of 34 to 0 ended the academy season. It was no disgrace to lose to the heavier and more experienced Chicagoans, most of whose touchdowns were the results of fumbles. Columbia fought until the bitter end. At one time it took the visitors six downs and a penalty to take the pill over for a touch¬ down from the eight yard line. ith the nucleus of players left from last year the prospects for a winning academy football team in 1°25 are quite encouraging.

Mark Tobin, the only letter man on this year’s academy squad, was the true leader of the Columbia team—at all time tin lift of the team, a power of strength on de¬ fense. a powerful plunger on offense, and an excellent receiver of forward passes. Tue academy is sorry that lie graduates this year. John Cain, 140, Halfback, Dubuque. John Cain, a star on the Midgets last year proved to be one of tin most depend¬ able halfbacks on the academy team. Al¬ though he was seldom called to carry the ball he was a surefire tackier, and a demon on interference. When occasion demanded lie could plunge. William Clemes, 145, Guard, Chicago, 111. Although an injured knee kept Mill “Dixy ' Clemes out of the Galena anil St. Thomas games he starred throughout the rest of the year. Peppy and full of fight he would have been a credit to any team. He is a third ac. Bernard Heller, 170, Tackle, Sinsinawa, Wis. Heller was undoubtedly one of the best men on the line. In the game with St. Patrick’s high school he made the first touchdown of the season by wading through with a blocked punt. Great things are ex¬ pected of him next year. William B. Kann, 160, End, Guttenberg, la. Too much praise can noi be given to Pill Kann who played his first year of acade¬ my football this season. liattling in evorv game he was one of the best tacklers iii Columbia. He was especially effective in the Waukon Junior college game when he hmkc through to toss the heavy baekfield men for loss after loss. He is a fourth ac . John Kaye, 168, Center, St. Paul. Minn. Kaye got info the Galena and Si. Pita’s games where In was a powerful cog in the defensive work of tin team. No opposing center was found who was able to ' keep tin plucky Kaye from busting through the line to break up tin movements of tin baekfield. As lie is a third ac lie will prob¬ ably star for one more year. Frank Klees. 150, Quarterback, Chicago, III. The team mates of Frank Klees rendered their verdict on his ability and sportman- ship at tin end of tin season by electing him captain for P.C. � . Klees was the best forward passer on the team and by bis sen¬ sational hurling enabled the academy to gitin the entire length of the field in three downs during the Galena game. Robert McCrae. 131, Er.d. Bloomington, III. Although handicapped by bis light weight. Pob McCrae was one of the best ends on the squad. He was especially good at hack- field tackling. McCrae is a junior u. | will help form the nucleus of a winning team next year. John C. McGuinn. 165, Tackle, Ch J cago, III. The peppery ”Pcd McGuinn was the find of the season. Displaying a large amount of good old red-headed Irish fight and show¬ ing that he knew more than ;i little bit about the intricacies if football he was ex¬ pected to star at tackle. He started f be year brilliantly in the game with St. Patrick’s and kept it up until Thanksgiving. Charles O’Connor, 140, Quarterback. Dubuque. “Chick” O’Connor was the classiest and the fastest open and broken ihd I runner in tin team. He also xce|led in minting and drop kicking. Mthough a fcatber- v eight, lie. like 1 1 utringer on inc varsitv won praise by his returning of punts. Arnadeo Pacetti. 175, Fullback. Kenosha Wisconsin. A f St. Pita’s high school thev are still talking about the husky Columbi t fullback who tried to win the game last Thanks¬ giving day all by himself.

The above picture shows both the equip¬ ment and the spirit. The same spirit and a concerted method of attack won the academy championship in the Junior circles for the Midget-1 lea vies. Pitted against a somewhat unbalanced boarder team the Midgets won the first two games. Then the Teenies braced and won the third. Put the Midgets came back so strong in the fourth game that they ran off with the victory and the pennant. The Midgets were well balanced and worked together and for one an¬ other. When they hit they didn ' t stop: when they tackled, the opponent knew that he was down. Trying to get around Stribley s end was a hope¬ less task: seeing Fleischmann coming was like being a darkey before a ghost: I hitler twisted so much like a snake that would-be tacklers did not know just what part of the atmosphere t� grab at: trying to hold on t« (Ichrig was like climbing the trunk of a tree.

Are they the men f 1907, the dawn of football in Columbia, or do the players of 1924 gain all of the laurels? In order to answer this question The Purgold on the opposite page publishes its All-Time Columbia team, selected from the votes of the faculty of Columbia college. Since football at Columbia has been a major sport only since 1907 the faculty members have seen most of the games and are there¬ fore well qualified to judge. Xo one period can claim a monopoly of the men on the two “AH’ teams. ()n the first eleven, for instance, the years since 1920 have five men, the Dorais era of 1916 and thereabout claims four, and the two remaining posi¬ tions go back to the primitive days of 1907 to 1910. 1917 and 1918 are the only years which are not represented on the first two teams. The first All-Columbia team would be a world beater . Most of its mem¬ bers were voted in by such large margins that it left no doubt as to the place which they occupy in the football world. With Joe Kerwick calling the signals, and punting, the speedy Johnny Long carrying the ball, Maurice Dalton smashing through the line and our own Bernie W hite and Bill Blake grabbing Porlier ' s bullet passes, it would have the offensive power of the proverbial irresistable force. What team, mythical or otherwise could break through a line with Andy Kelly at center, Jones and George working to¬ gether at guard and Father Bendlage and the mighty “Duke” Galvin, Colum¬ bia’s greatest tackle, at the tackle positions? George Galvin is the only man whose name appeared on every first team ballot. Maurice Dalton, fullback, receiving votes for halfback as well as his regular position, lacked only one ballott of being unanimously chosen. The Galvin family landed two of its members on the “All elevens ,George on the first and foe on the second. The closest race was for the end position, a triangular race between Bernie W bite. Bill Blake, and Chief Meyers. hite led Blake by one vote, and Blake led Meyers by the same margin. The team of 1924 was well represented landing two men on the first team, Gailen Thomas and A1 Entringer on the second string. Joe Ball led the list of fullbacks receiving honorable mention, Fred Schwind got several votes for guard, and Frank Conlin was recognized in the list of tackles. Tom Wiley leads the honor roll of halfbacks getting honorable mention and “Scubbs’’ Tschirgi is well up in the list. Other football players of the four year period which ends this June are Jack Fischer, Duke Galvin. Bill Blake, John Long, Ray ()berbroeckling, Bill Cashcn. and John Bowes. This is the All-Time Columbia football team of 1925. Tt may stand for years. On the other hand the majority of its places may come tumbling d � wn into new hands next year. 1 925 ««� «««« Out 11 urnlml St wiUo i� ■ « « « « � ¥=£ 3RE 3f jf ar us ttr us X: 3ytX THE purgold«« «l VI yg V V VI y v y y y v y y v� y w y y y v w ¥ v y v y v y y N« y ¥ y y ¥ yg VI y i y v y y Top Row: Middle Row: Bottom Row: Robert Croake, LuVerne Timmer- Bernard Baker.

Coach Eddie Anderson prompted by that spirit of “stick-to-it-ive-ness by which the worlds gieatest mentor, Rockne, characterizes him, immediately called for volunteers for a mythical W estern Interstate champion five. The response to the call registered in the form of a mob of willing workers for a berth on the team. Among those that appeared were a medley of contestants from the dif¬ ferent classes consisting of White, Kellogg, Morgan, Haebig, Ennis kelsh. Lynch, Smith. Miller, W. Russell, Daly, Steinbach, Moreland, Merkel. Doll, Gebhardt, Tidier, Cross, Koob, Entringer, Knipp, Noonan, Kopel, Dorsey, Mulcahy, Mullan, Carberry, Thomas, Gross, Hauer, Donohoe, Evans, Regan, W ashington, Oeschger, Hayes, Rothmeyer, Ball, Murphy, Koelker, Xaber, Howes, G. Peters, Hodson, and V. Peters. The first problem facing the coach and by no means a small one, was. to fill Capt. Bill CasheiTs shoes at center who was lost by graduation. To add to the complexity of the situation a running mate had to be found for W bite, due to the loss of John Bowes, last years forward, who did not return. Shortly after the Christmas holidays the can-opener of the season came with Platteville School of Mines and found Joe Kellogg running guard of last year at center, Capt. White and Morgan forwards, and Orrie Smtih and Kelsh as guards. Dick Dorsey standing guard of the 24 quintette, hamp¬ ered by the results of vaccination, had to assume a sideline position. Colum¬ bia had the large end of the score the first half, but Platteville came back strong in the final period and tied the count. In the last two seconds of play Capt. White clinched the victory by sinking a long one in his usual style. This game not only renewed the coach’s faith in his old material but gave him a bright outlook on Morgan, Kelsh, and Orrie Smith, the former St. Thomas High School star of Rockford. The second tilt of the season showed a marked improvement and brought the Purple and Gold another victory. It seems like the Fates decreed the worst for Columbia in the next few oames. Kellogg received injuries that kept him on the bench, and Smith was called home. Also the hazards of vaccination were keenly felt by An¬ derson ' s five. The games that followed almost shattered Columbia’s chance of copping another conference trophy. Close games were played with La Crosse and St. Viator who were strong on the way toward the championship of Western Interstate circles. ...... Columbia’s new $150,000 gym was opened by a game with A alparaiso and the big 94-foot stretch of hard maple offered both teams ample oppor¬ tunity to show their skill. _ . The next three games fell to the Purple and Gold club. 1 hey defeated Dc Paul twice and evened up with Luther. The final game went to Xotre Dame’s strong five. ' The W. 1. Conference showed a marked improvement over past yeais. All participants put teams on the floor that no college need be ashamed ot. n all-conference team was picked, consisting of: White, forward, Colum¬ bia • 1 Iarris, forward, Valparaiso; ()rwoll, guard, 1 .uther; interhalter, guard.

Besides holding down the score he proved himself an able basket tosser and was particularly characterized by his knack at taking the tip-off.

In order to give every man an equal chance the coach sub¬ stituted freely in this initial game and thus kept the score within moderate limits, and suffice it to say, cur boys easily won. The formal opening of the season was with the East Dubuque High School, and in this game the Academy team began to show real promise. I he East Dubuquers were easily vanquished. In the next game our boys played the Waukon Junior College. The brawn and bulk cf the Collegians proved too much for the light Academy team and though every man on the team played his best the Collegians came out on the long end of a 22-14 score. Then followed three rather easy victories over Potosi High. Cascade High, and St. Patrick’s of Cedar Rapids. The last mentioned game was played at Cedar Rapids, while the first two were played on our home floor. At this point of the season Ray Connell of Janesville, Wisconsin, entered the Academy and went out for basketball. He played his first game in a purple and gold uniform three days later against Spaulding Institute of Peoria, then Catholic High School champions of the United States. He played a stellar game but the result was a disastrous defeat for the hard fighting Academy team. In the following games with Immaculate Conception of Cedar Rapids, (he East Dubuque Independents and Our Lady of Victory school of ater- I x , the Academy men seemed to be able to shoot baskets at will and they i irtually swamped their opponents. Coach Bill Cashcn’s team of Monticello occupied the next two games ni the Academy schedule and our boys were beaten in two of the hardest fought games seen in this part of the state this season. Tn a thrilling over- lime period during which O’Connor dropped in six baskets, the Academy earn defeated Cascade High for the second time .this season. Then followed the Cathoic High School tournament of the Archdiocese if Dubuque. The Academy team was the sole entry in the Class A of this tourney. As a curtain raiser to the finals of the Class B tourney our boys swamped St. Patrick’s High of Cedar Rapids for the second time this year. Then came the tournament sweepstakes game with Cascade High. Cas¬ cade had beaten Monticello in the final game of the tournament, so the Aead- I ' liiv team fought with all its might. The result of the game was never in doubt for our boys did not allow Cascade a single field goal while the Acad¬ emy team rolled up 27 points to make the final score 27-0. I he Academy team was then champion of all the Catholic high schools in the Archdiocese of Dubuque. Idle victory over Cascade gave our boys the right to play in the National Catholic High School tournament held at Chicago. In this first round ot the tournament the Academv played St. Marv’s High of Clarksburg. Vest Virginia. Our boys appeared stricken with stage fright the first three periods and the Virginians piled up a large lead. Tn the final quarter the irginians were swept off their feet by a late rallv. The rallv was a little too late and our champion Academy team lost 24-20. Thus was closed ; most successful season.

John Kaye, Guard and Captain-Elect. — Always to be depended upon to break up the opponent ' s offense was John Kaye, standing guard and captain- elect for next year. He will be a Senior in the Academy next year and under his leadership next year’s team should prove to be one of the strongest in recent years. Charles Reed, Forward.— In the person of Charles Reed this year s team had one of the best forwards that has ever worn an Academy uniform. From the angle of scoring he ranked third, and since he is a first Academic he should prove to be one of the greatest basketball players ever turned out by the Academy. Mark Tobin, Guard.—The loss the Academy team will suffer by the graduation of Mark Tobin is almost immeasurable, lie was the pep-instill¬ ing body behind the force which resulted in such a successful season for the team. He was one of the fastest men on the team and his accurate pass¬ ing feature d every game. Charles O’Connor, Forward.—The Academy ' s high scorer for this year was Charles O ' Connor. This is Chick’s second year on the Academy team, and his floor work and point making ability featured cverv game in which he took part. He is a Senior in the Academic Department and his loss will be sorely felt. Henry Aldrete, Center.—Henry Aldrete, who hails from Guadalajara. Mexico, is another one of the Fourth Academics on this vear’s squad, lie was perhaps the hardest fighting man of the whole team, besides being an able man on offense. Mis defensive playing was spectacular in every game. Richard Nicholson, Forward.—Richard Nicholson was the team s chief reserve man. Although he was much lighter than the other men, he showed his worth by his good floor work. He played a good brand of ball in cverv game in which he took part and he was a hard, clean fighter. Amedeo Pacetti, Guard. — Amedeo Pacetti was one of Fr. Sheehy’s most promising substitutes. He played in a greater part of the games and was always a bulwark on defense. I his year he was a ' Third Academic and much may be expected from him next year. Joe Connelly Forward.—The Academy team of this year seemed to be especially well supplied with forwards. ( )ne of the most noteworthy of these was Joe Connelly, lie distinguished himself especially well in the earlv part of the season, and his loss bv the diploma route will not be unfelt next year. Bob McCrea, Forward.—Bob McCrea was another of the excellent subs. Mis ability to shoot baskets from long range was a great asset to the team in every game in which he took part. Me is a Junior in the Academy tin ' s year and it is expected that he will have a berth on the first team next vear. 19 2 5 its ar iti to ya to y to y to y to y to y to y to to y to y to y to y to ' M to y to y to y to y to y to w to w to y to y to y to y to y I •; {•(• Onr I f iiimIomI TwriHy-Six X M h M X X X x M X X zX M %X X A ' eX aX M M M fcft 2 F Back: Front: B.

Playing at right guard he led the super team-work and at the critical moments his long shots won the game. ' r l.ortchcllcr, the center, did his hit by outjumping all the opposing centers of the league. being one of the most important cogs in the team his accurate passing proved invaluable. 11 is talent was given recognition when he was taken to the National Catholic I ournament at Chicago. “Hun ' l ' inlev a forward was the best dribbler on the team. IIP llashy dribbling always brought the hall within scoring distance, being a good Hour worker lie was enabled to be the best asset in breaking up the opposing teams offense. “|im W ilkins, the other forward, being speedy, was best at following in long shots.

The greatest victory of the year came for the Cascaders when they defeated Sacred Heart high school of Monticclio 16 to 13. From their first game on Monday afternoon until the final battle ' Tues¬ day night the scores show that the victory of Cascade was deserved. St. Mary s of aterloo fell 18 to 9 in the first game of the tournament and Im¬ maculate Conception of Fairbank was swamped 23 t • 3 in the second round. A 17 to 6 victory over St. Joseph high school of Pellevue gave Cascade the right to meet Monticclio in the finals. Although the score was dose through¬ out the game Coach Finn ' s men never lost the lead.

( )ne of the most progressive actions in Columbia’s unusually active ath¬ letic program of the past school year was the starting of the annual C bia college basketball tournament for the Catholic High Schools Archdiocese of Dubuque. ' The first tournament was an unqualified success. Fifteen schools with a total of one hundred and twenty-five athletes entered the contest, which was held in the Columbia gymnasium on March ( ), 10, and 11. All of the visiting athletes were housed in St. Joseph ' s hall, where they were guests of the college. As soon as the first round of the tournament was finished it became apparent that the race for supremacy was between Cascade and Sacred Heart High School of Monticello. Running true to predictions these two teams entered the finals, and as a thrilling climax to two days of excellent basket¬ ball Cascade defeated Monticello 16 to 13 for the class P championship. Columbia academy, which had been placed in Class A because some ol the visiting schools objected to playing a school with so large an enrollment in the early rounds of the tourney, defeated Cascade 26 to 6 for the right to represent the archdiocese in the National Catholic High School tourna¬ ment held in Chicago.

I he courts on Henion Street are admirably adapted to make handball possible at practically all times, the covered structure both giving protection against the elements and at the same time providing the light and fresh air • f the out-of-doors. Since handball is a game in which practically all the academy students participate, it is natural to find the senior class men excelling bv reason f longer practice and superior experience.

V r. Kreimer issued a call for candidates for bis History oi I’hilosopbv team. In numbers the response was never greater. Some lorty |diib sopbers and scrubs after a few days of preliminary instruction, took part in tbe regular scrimmage three times weekly. Xo one. 1 am sure, will disagree with me in the selection ol «� ur in¬ domitable little quarterback. John W Sindelar, as C aptain ol our mystical eleven. And although all his playing was characterized by superior head- work there was one game in which he flashed acr ss the intellectual horizon like a brilliant comet leaving in his wake a blaze of glory, and that v� a the ever-to-be-remembered battle against the C ynics, «� r t«� use technical term¬ inology the “Dog ’ philosophers. Yes, John has earned this honor. Another player who showed no mean form throughout the year was Haul Kirchen at fullback, lie was a consistent ground gainer especially down fourteenth street; and his line plunging against the elusive Kantians demon¬ strated his true worth. Perhaps, the greatest performer of the year was “Penny” Kuennen, our little center, who distinguished not only hint-elf but the entire school for two consecutive seasons against the I’niversity ' •! Vol¬ taire. A fellow countryman of “Penny” who distinguished himself scarce¬ ly less was our lanky left guard “Jake Pohr. ' Those who saw him in action against the School of Kpicttrean pronounced him the best ever. ' The same can be said oi the great Pohemian philosopher Ki-cheid, who, plaving at right guard, did more, perhaps, than any single player to save the day in the long drawn out and stubbornly fought battles against Spinoza ' Tech. Five games were played against the celebrated school, and in everv one Kischeid covered himself with glory. Put we must not forget to mention “Silent Jim Harvey who, by hi persistent effort- at right tackle, was not an unimportant factor in the nerve-racking contests with this same school: nor must those other three great players be forgotten. “Pob Murphv at left tackle. Clarence Drummy at left half, and James I )elav at right half. Their determination not to be conquered by the Spinoza crowd, to s iv n«� th- of their playing against the Arabians and the Sceptics, was undoubtedly mg the determining factor in securing for us the Pachelor of Arts championship. “ hey may. indeed, wear their laurels with justifiable pride. Although Paul McCarthy didn’t join the team until the season was half over, -till he so distinguished himsclt at left end in the hair-raising game against the Peter Abelard l .. that no all-star eleven would be complete with¬ out him. It seems that tlm team was out for revenge, but McCarthy, play¬ ing a whale of a game, by a clever -tategem repulsed the enemy and turned what -reined eerbtiu defeat into a gloriop.; ictorv.

Hall students, ranging from the Classical Club to the Circle, have been seen wending their way in closely tilt that morning after and societies o! Loras Fourth Floor Radiator huddled groups, brav¬ ing the cold blasts of the wintery wind, along Fourteenth -r Alta Vista streets. These walks are the battle-ground of many an unseen tight. The re¬ fulgent and purifying rays ot the rising morning sun. tlu mighty onrush of the whirling wintery wind and the fierce blasts of th e blowing waves and gusts of snow,—all these constitute the attack, lighting their battles in the cause of health and better students. lint mighty must the attack be to drive out the strongly entrenched foe. Shut up snugly and warmly within the fortress of Mr. Student s body the tiny germs and cooties are very unwill¬ ing to surrender their place of comfort and indolence to the enemy. Whether these parasites have a right to their abode, the assailing cncmv does not con¬ sider, but like all things is dill use of its goodness which it seeks to bring about by a victory over the agents of sickness and by purifying all with the pureness of v igour and health. The degree of awareness that a student has of these unseen contention- depends upon what clubs or organizations he beongs to. If he belongs to the Fourth Floor Radiator Circle he will be very much aware of it, because, —well that is all he is made to go on the walk for,— to air the cooties so the crop will be better. So it seems to him that it would be wise to preclude the possibility of their unwarranted reproduction bv refusing them their most delightful morning air and to kill them off by the odors of heat-gas, -a log¬ ical result from perching on the radiator. The direct antithesis of this class is the philosophical and classical type. The lulling- and surgings of the rolling battle rise and fall, while he.’ on whom all this occur-, strides along in a state oi happiness and imperturb¬ ability. He justly lavs claim to the title of the “really wise . Again Aris¬ totle and I’lato become living realities, unfolding with sincerity and feeling their heart-felt convictions. I he rocks of the street are used to illustrate the doctrine of hylomorphism. and the dying and decaying trees the objects ol substantial changes. I he beauty and harmony, function and purpose of the things of nature are excited and given for our admirath n as exemplifi¬ cations of the orders of unity and finality. Rut the sad fact of it all is that our modern Aristotle is a Socialist. Resides these two classes that go walking, the one because the cooties will die it they don t, the other because it oilers opportunities of learned discussion and observation, there is a large group of intermediate classes that go hr reasons varying all the way fnm those of the Radiator Circle to those bordering on the fringes of the classicist’s and philosopher’s. They go either because the master has spoken , or they haven ' t anything el to do, or the morning walk is pleasant, « r because they might get good out of it. but never do they attain that ideal of taking tin else si mie ni irning walk because it i- t i« ins and in t i e- • conformable to ihe can know, an acti an appropriate action performed with the highe- f the wi-e man, because it then becomes an acti rational nature of man, a motive the pliil i iS ' pin ' ii the philo-opher alone can perh rm. t mten- n most r alone Vi v y v y v y v w V y v y v v )k Vi y v y vi ya v y v y v y v w v y v y v w V y v y vi w V y y v y «««� � ««« ' 9 2 5 «««««««� ( tin 11 iiii 1 1 ol to M I a j «LTHE PURGOLD «« ££ £ A h irt X H J rt A jtf nV ¥ rt h hV A 3K H H H a . 4 JUNIORS i z?Jr 3 SOPHO AORES EROSH A £ Hr AC 5 FROSH B TEENIE WEENIES rage One Ihuulml Kifty-Nim- 3HS « « « X 1 • ' xTHE PURGO aj__w aj_ y V-6 ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ x ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ V ¥ ¥ h ¥ X ¥ X ¥ X ¥ itf ¥ ¥ irt ¥ 3 ¥ ¥ H ¥ ¥ � k OT n? I ' sigi Oiu H� ii ln-I Si t Our Dormitory %.j£ %.- m m m in Plain, unadorned, devoid of the pennanD and pictures which render private rooms attractive, but prodigiously rich in associations is the dorm¬ itory. The college catalogue states that it can accommodate one hundred students; but it can do more than accommodate one hundred students, for it has been known on accasions to furnish entertainment for the entire student body and even certain members of the faculty. The new student with credulous ear and plastic mind knows perfectly well that the word dormitory is derived from a Latin word meaning ‘to sleep’ and he is so rash as to deduce that a dormitory i- a place where people sleep. W hatever may be his fore-knowledge of dormitory life, whatever hi- resoluteness of character and disdain for the diabolical and preternatural, it would require the services of Conan Doyle and Sir Oliver Lodge to ex¬ plain satisfactorily all the phenomena of sights and sounds of that lir-t night in the dormit orv. After silently disrobing he disposes himself in his little white bed and heaves a suppressed sigh of relief. Relaxed in mind and bodv he abandons himself to the capricious whims of his imagination. Softlv the lights die out: all save one feeble little bulb which does not dispel the dark¬ ness but merely creates a fantastic atmosphere of gloom. ' Then in the ha .v land of imagination things most strange to narrate begin to happen. From afar off comes a soft, almost inaudible, muffled paltering a- though of footsteps. ' Then there is a furtive whisper, a sudden scamper, a squeak¬ ing of bed castors and then a profound flop. Some luckless Freshman (so the Sophomores explain next day) misjudging the width of his ben, rolls over twice in the same direction and the law of gravitation wreaks cruel vengeance, l or a few moments the silence is intense and then the phenom¬ ena of ghostlike, tread of feet and stealthy mutterings repeat themselves, this time somewhat more distinct, and the innocent victim of all these hal¬ lucinations lies in a state -f frozen rigidity in his little white bed. Nearer and nearer come the whispering and the stealthy footsteps and the thoughts of him who lies in his little white bed fly back to mamma and home, and he wonders why he ever left them. And then from somewhere out in the haunt¬ ed gloom, snapping and cracking like the bark t � f a murderer’s pistol on a frosty November night come the words. “Von men get to your places at once.” A calm that surpasses all understanding, and sleep known only to the in¬ nocent. descend on all. When the fantastic tern r- of this first night of dormitory life fade into oblivion, things begin to run more smoothly and gradually the freshmen acquire the ability to go to sleep before midnight. I hen, too, they become proficient in another important art, viz... that of performing their evening ablutions, undressing and going to bed in the dark, all of which require skill, practice, and concentrated attention. Whatever may be the results of an education, whatev er good may accrue from four years spent at boarding school, it is altogether deplorable that a boy should spend these four vears in a private room and be thereby deprived of all the aesthetic, refining, uplifting and ennobling influences of life in the dormitorv. ot -m ar tjs { M M sX • tX J sX X !tf A iX M X V H X A X ¥, I M X M M X A X U, X ££ «THE PURGOLD3K3yt %:£. %:3L %z3L %: V y v w y v w v y fc y V y v y v y v« y vi y v y v y v y M y vi y vi y v y vi y vi v y s Yu Vi y ,¥ y vi y THE PURGOLD What’s this among so many dusty books?

Left Cascade this morning and arrived at 1 Inching Post at 3:00 P. .M. Matriculated at Grange University, founded by one Harold Grange who immortalized himself by his dexterity in playing on a gridiron a game now extinct, hut quite common in the days of our virile forefathers. SKP I LM HER 13, 1961. Purchased the following textbooks today: “Phil¬ osophers I Have Known’’ by James Montgomery Maher; “Concentrated So¬ cialism by Francis Pemberton Mulligan; “The Therapeutic Value of Her¬ meneutics’ by Peter Celestinc Marzen; “Pugilism in Public Speaking’’ bv 1’ernard Gozinta Kischeid; “The Missing Biped” by Alphonse McCronin Link. Sh.PI KMKR 21, 1961. The Dean reads the “Liber Regularum’’. Cheer¬ ing at intersectional contests is discontenanced as a barbarism of preceding generations. A prompt response to the bells is a sacred tradition; no diffi¬ culty is expected in this regard. Free-days shall be granted when a majority ol students request them. (Last year the two-thirds rule was in force). ()CT( )BFR 1. 1961. Percy Vincent Bruscia. a Freshman, is very ill. He was poisoned by drinking a glass of coco cola which contained some exegetic- al bacteria. He owes his life to the unexpected presence of mind of Professor Met arthv who administered a strong dose of Parousia as a counter-stimulant. Mr. Bruscia is confined to the new Infirmary recently completed. ( )CTOBER IS, 1961. Philosophy class proved interesting today. Modern philosophers were subjected to a scathing denunciation by Professor Delay. Me was especially bitter toward the Xeo-Gumpism of (irace and the Medie¬ valism of Garvey. OCTOBER 29. 1961. This was Co-ed Day. Johanna Emmaline Byrnes was chosen Queen of the Plucked Eyebrows. An interesting feature was a pageant depicting the manner and dress of a generation ago. The abbre¬ viated gowns and still shorter hair were quite shocking but they were a realistic portrayal of the styles in vogue in 1925. ()ne of the participants had a small paper-like tube filled with a harmless ingredient which she lit and placed in her mouth, drawing the smoke into her mouth and blowing it into the air. This represented the vicious tobacco habit quite prevalent in America prior to the seventy-fourth amendment to the constitution. NOVEMBER 5, 1961. A Senior in room 302 discovered on a long dis¬ used shelf, a peculiar tube-like instrument with an extended opening on one end. ( )n the outside of the tube are many accoutrements which act much like so many little trap-doors. I pon blowing into the smaller end, the tube emitted the most weird noises imaginable. Clarence Sindelar, a student in the preparatory department, says he has seen a picture ot his grandfather with one of the instruments in his hand. The consensus of opinion is that it is a relic of the Jazz Age. X( )YEM BER 27. 1961. The Varsity Knitting Team completely out- stitched the team representing Emmetsburg University in the annual ' Turkey Day Knitting C lassic. The home team captured the coveted souvenir by the sate margin of nine pairs of socks. The contest was held in the local Uni¬ versity Rest Room. A banquet was held at six o ' clock and Xorberta Barrett was elected captain of the 1962 team. December 4. 1961. University doors closed for annual eleven weeks C hristmas vacation.

Can you smile when he is coming, Saying to your passions, now You must not keep arising, For such things I can’t allow. But they answer we’re commanded, And our moral worth is nil, Should you stand there like one stranded While they’re teaching ethics still? No!
