Ex Libris THE PURGOLD 1926 EDITOR-IN-CHIEF BUSINESS MANAGER MICHAEL J. MARTIN PAUL J. EVERY The Purgold Annual of Columbia College Dubuque, Iowa 1926 PLihlished h-g the Senior Class of 1926 Books Scenic Faculty Administration Faculty Classes College Academy Athletics V arsity Academy Intramural Organizations Publications Dramatics Other Activities Campus Life I- ' o ur Foreword c5ls a painting, or a novel, or a poem is at best only a faint shadow of Nature, so this Annual is totally unable to show Columbia College life in all its manifold phases. It does not tell the whole story; it does not attempt to do so; but it does, we hope, give a glimpse of every notable activity at Columbia. When the passing years lend their en¬ chantment to the view of our Alma Mater, and the cares of life oppress and shadows fall around us, may the Purgold of 1926 bring bach “the tender grace of a day that is dead” and make us feel on our troubled brows a breath from the morning of life. Dedication TO OUR MOTHERS So the fair lady whose kindly counte¬ nance was the first to greet us when we left paradise; whose voice was very low and very tender as it helped us to forget our little sorrows and hushed us to sleep; whose smile approved our childish suc¬ cesses and made life’s little reverses less hard to bear; whose heart throbbed and still throbs in unison with our own, and whose eyes gazing out from earth or para¬ dise still follows us with maternal solici¬ tude. this booh is affectionately dedicated.

A1 had been at Columbia less than one scholastic year, having spent two years at Waukon Junior College, but in the brief time which he spent here he suc¬ ceeded in winning for himself a place in the hearts of every¬ one. His quiet, happy dispo¬ sition and clean, Christian character was an inspiration to all who knew him. He was a leader in every activ¬ ity, successful in his classes, a “C” man in football, and a member of the Vested Choir. Religious motives and the thoughts of a life well lived can assuage but never oblit¬ erate the sadness of farewell. Mr. Schwarzhoff had all the consolations of his Holy Re¬ ligion, and we canot help but feel that our sorrow is his joy, and we pray that the soul of him whom we grew to love and admire will rest in ever¬ lasting peace. JOSEPH LORI Less than one week after the death of Mr. Schwarzhoff, the angel of death visited Columbia for the second time and summoned Joseph Lori, of St. Joseph’s Hall, a prom¬ inent member of the first Academic class. The deceased had been confined to Mercy Hospital for some days prev¬ ious with pneumonia when a sudden change for the worse took place and death came at 10:50 o’clock Easter Monday morning. Joseph was a good student and merited admittance to the Academy Literary Society, open to the lower classmen only when they do excep¬ tional work. In intra-mural athletics he was also a prom¬ inent figure. Death came suddenly to Joseph, but not wholly un¬ expectedly, nor before he had been consoled with the Sac¬ raments. His passing was keenly felt by his classmates and friends of St. Joseph’s Hall, by his parents, a broth¬ er, and a sister who reside in Kenosha, Wisconsin. THE COLLEGE CHAPEL center of the rclig-ic tiiiir background for the ligious life at Columbia, a fit- the beautiful and impressive ceremonies of our Holy Religion is the Chapel. ' I ' he frescoed walls, the stained glass windows, the seven white Carrara marble al¬ tars, with the great pipe organ rearing itself aloft behind the main altar combine to make this the most unforgettably beautiful place in the College. What the soul is to man this holy of holies is to our Alma Mater.

It is a trim, modern, business-like edifice rearing itself majestically, conscious of its classic dignity, so it would seem, and looking out over the roofs of the city, and the Father of Waters, and the jagged fringes of Iowa, Illin¬ ois, and Wisconsin. Inside are long, stately corridors and clean airy classrooms. Here the science, the literature, and the art of the past become the ])ossession of the youth of to- dav, the man of to-morrow.

Twelve SCIENCE HALL UCKKD up agninst the leafy flank of Keane Oaks, on Alta Vista Street, stands Science Hall. A long, narrow building of reddish brown brick, once the home of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, this is now the ' sanctum sanctorum ' ’ of science at Columbia. Here all the exuberant variety of chemical and physical nature is patiently investigated and stu¬ died. .And here, in line, upon the science of the past we hope to build the science of the future.

One of the finest in the middle-west, it stands as evidence sound and cer¬ tain of the broadminded, pro¬ gressive spirit of Columbia. Columbia holds to her historic ideal ‘sana mens in sano cor- pore, ' ' and is prepared to make sacrifices in order that she may attain it. Here are ample fac¬ ilities for every student to se¬ cure the much needed physical relaxation. And here, too, will Columbia’s athletes learn that sportsmanship is first and win¬ ning the game arv matter. onlv a Second- Fifteen i COLUMBIA ' WOODLAND c54 SONG to the oak, the brave old oak, Who hath ruled in the j reenwood long; Here’s health and renown to his broad green crown And his fifty arms so strong.

NHA ' P, little lianclmaclc plateau midway between vSt. Joseph and Loras Halls is just big enough to support this meal-time mecca of Columbia, St. Lraneis Hall. Not here the grandeur of Loras Hal! nor even the traditional charm of old St. Joseph Hall, but pleasant associations and fond memories cling to everj cor¬ ner of this building. The in¬ cessant buzz of conversation, the fli] ]:)ant jest, the irrepres¬ sible wit of care-free youth, the letter from home, alT these come to mind with the mention of .St. Francis Hall.

Co¬ lumbia has grown, expanded, changed, but her sons do‘not forget; and with tradition im¬ bedded in every stone St. Jo¬ seph Hall will always retain a verv real and i)ermaneni charm. Xinoloon ST. JOSEPH HALL GYMNASIUM IIK old gymnasium like its neighbor, St. Joscpli Hall, conjures up from the fruitful stores (;f mem¬ ory countless remembrances of by-gone (lavs. Glorious victories and no less glorious (lefe«ats thrilled many a pensive crowd of students and spectators be¬ hind these walls. The old gym¬ nasium is dwarfed into insig¬ nificance when compared with the new modern structure, but not so the battles fought on its flo(jrs nor the manly characters there developed, ' fraditon is (juitc as potent in athletics as in anything else, and the old gymnasium will ever be a cal! from the past to make Colum¬ bia greater and better.

Martin.Englisli.l ubuquc, Iowa Class President Mike has spent his four years in Loras Hall to very good advantage. He distinguished himself in the class room and was always an ardent backer of all student activities. In dramatics Mike has done good work. The Senior class of 1926 elected him al¬ most unanimously as their class president for the year, and he has proven a very capable man for this honor. In addition to this he was chosen editor-in- chief of The Purgold and an associate editor of The Lorian. “Bored to tears.” Now Mike wasn’t the first man who used that expression, but then he has used it, imitating perhaps, but not consciously borrowing from the vocabulary of the “prep” school. The wri¬ ter once had the pleasure of a personal interview with Mr. Martin. He instantly seized upon the felix occasio to thus personally get the dope on the most boring experience that Mr. Martin had ever suffered. So after nine introductory remarks about the weath¬ er the visitor threw formality aside and ventured, ‘‘Mr. Martin, you are known as one of the most bored men in the school. You have had some very boori.sh experiences, no doubt. Would you favor me with an account of the most tearful of these?” “Well,” he says, “one time in the course of my of¬ ficial duties I met a certain collegian who was pro- vokingly tiresome.” “An uninteresting fellow?” sug¬ gested the visitor. “Uninteresting! why he was so dumb that he couldn’t entertain a doubt.” The in¬ opportune clanging of the rising bell robbed poster¬ ity of the remainder of this story. Clarence C. Ferring... Latin...New Vienna, Icnva Class Secretary It is very easy to write interesting things on Ferring. We might discuss his many good qualities, or on the other hand we might mention his playing on that “fleau horrible,” the baritone horn. Clarence is an ideal Columbia product. In the classroom he receives A’s with monotonous consistency. He is one of the reasons why the class of ’26 were indoor baseball champs for four seasons. I-Ie has been actively associated with the very efficient mission unit of the college whose activities he directed dur¬ ing the past year. And he still finds time for the oand and choir. He is president of the Choir. In ns Junior year he won the gold medal in the Cier- man Oratorical Contest. And, as if that wasn’t enough for one man, this year he was elected class secretary, and was chosen as an assistant business ' PJuld. By his graduation, Colum- Dia loses a brilliant student of wide interests and the Seniors a genial companion. ' riiirl y-M’wo T. Francis Bracly...Eni Iish...SoI(licrs Grove, Wis. Class Vice-President Wisconsin is a progressive state. This statement is attested by the fact that it sends many of its sons to Columbia to the Pierian Font. Frank came near being drowned. In his first years at Columbia, as a Freshman and Sophomore, he said little but worked hard. In his Junior and Senior years he came out of his shell, and his classmates showed their appre¬ ciation by electing him vice-president of the class in his Senior year. He has shown himself a ready speaker in many Forum meetings, enlivening them not a little by his wit. His tongue is ready even if it is a little too sharp at times, but ’twill mellow with age. Frank has worked hard for all the college jiublications. In his Junior year he won the Essay contest in the face of some stiff competition. We expect great things from Brady in the years follow¬ ing 1926. Lincoln I- ' . W ' liclan.F.nsjlish.Nashotah, Wis. Class Historian Line has been buying tickets from Nashota, Wis¬ consin, to Dubuque, Iowa, for eight years and it is no easy task to give an adequate account of all that he has done, written and said in his long stay at Columbia. Line is always there with the goods in inter-class athletics; in football he gained experience as end on the Academy team. Lincoln has an in¬ exhaustible sui)ply of humor and no one questions his ability to express himself either in speaking or writing. His facile pen has been active throughout his entire career. His clever original stories have been among the most interesting presentations of the Spokesman. Line copped the gold medal in his Academy days as a short story writer, and in the College contest a silver medal was his prize. In his Sophomore year a fine historical essay netted him a I)rize of twenty dollars in gold. Line is everybody’s friend and pal, but if you should be so perverse as to desire his mortal enmity you need only park your- .self outside his door armed with a phonograph and one record—‘Show iMe the Way to Go Home.” .Arthur J. V()r vaUl...ClK‘mistry...Dubuquc, Iowa Class Valedictorian A resume of Art’s career at Columbia shows a very w ' ide range of activities. Dramatics and oia- tory are at one end of the scale. “The Man of tie Hour,” “Captain Applejack,” “The Aviator enumerate more? Art has been taking leading iole.- for four years with a grace and skill Uiat mark him as one of Columbia’s all-time Thespians, orwald and McPartland backed by a ferocious Rhomberg. Haddigan for humorous effect, and Madame John E. Byrnes, constitute a cast that will be remembered as long as dramatics hold sw’ay in Columbia. As an orator, too. Art has made a name for himself, win¬ ning second place for two years in the annual con¬ test. - s class speaker in his Junior year he gave the dei)arting Seniors of that year a send off that made us wonder how ' anyone else could have taken first in oratory. Art is a w ' ell balanced man. for to counterbalance his artistic talents he has an espec¬ ial aptitude for science, having majored in Chemis¬ try and assumed temporary charge of the lu-ofessor- ship vacated by Father Miller. Thirl y - ' riireo Joel John Ball.English.Emmctsbiirg, Iowa Joe won a place in the hearts of everyone by his line plunging, social and otherwise. He has a cheer¬ ful smile that would make a Rockefeller wish he were full-back on the Conference Champ machine. Between times he sings in the college choir. Joe has done many wonderful things besides those re¬ corded in football history, e. g. he roomed with Every for three years. Dramatics, too, have not been overlooked by the versatile Joe, who appeared to good advantage as a Hindoo priest in “A Night at an Inn.” His fellow athletes showed their confid¬ ence in him when they elected him to the respons¬ ible post of presidency of the ”C” Club. Joe’s never- failing cheerfulness and outspoken frankness have gained for him a high degree of popularity. Two years of pre-medic work did not satiate Joe’s thirst for higher education, and when he added two years of Philosophy and a major in English he gave proof of his excellent judgment and added to the files of the Class of ' 26 a name of which that class may al¬ ways feel proud. Cierald N. Bi.scnius.Latin.White T.ake, S. D. “Wellner to Buzz to Ferring” is the combination (much sought) prior to exams. Buzz has an envi¬ able scholastic record and remarkable vision. No¬ tice the move from Cascade to White Lake. No ci amp in style. Gerald was referred to as “Buzz the Lesser ' during his first year at Columbia, but with the departure of Alphonse Bisenius from his Alma Mater, Gerald came into his own and hence¬ forward the word Buzz brought to our imagination six feet two of Cascade intellectuality and good na¬ ture. Pete Yang, however, always insisted that if was “Bos ' not “Buzz.” From the time that a bottle of vaseline came almost bein; the occasion for a duel to the death between Buzz and Pete Fitzpatrick, the boys have universally recognized Gerald ' s rights to a peaceful existence. We make no prophecy for Buzz ' s future. He has surprised us at school, and we only hope that the surprises he hands us in the years to come will be of as agreeable a nature as those he has given us while at Columbia. I ' ranci.s M. Bocsch...Econ()mics.. E. DubiK|uc, 111. Frank ' s integrity may be best judged when we I’emember that for eight long years he has walked the straight and narrow path that leads over the river. Through all these years his conduct has been above the reproach of dean and deputy. Such a feat is enough to satisfy most men, but this man goes higher; indeed, he has not only been taught during scholastic days, but has outstepped some of us by learning some of the many things one is apt to be taughl in the four years of collegiate work. This achievement is more unique than one is apt to sus¬ pect. Frank is one of the few remaining members of the old guard who enrolled at the Academy in the heyday of military drill. He has stayed to climb both hills, and we predict that his future will be marked by greater heights because it rests on a solid foundation of character and training. Raymond j. I’.ohror.English.Lansing, Iowa Years aRO it was whispered around Loras Hall that this fellow was a real friend. To-day that same whisper goes unchallenged, for Ray has won a place in the heart of every man in the college. All of us can look back with glad memories on happy days spent with this fellow from Lansing and Mt. Hos- mer. Our memories will have grown dim indeed when we fail to recall Ray’s able assistance m all third floor rituals. When not taking part in Deeny’s ceremonials Ray finds time to play outfield on Cap. Kopel’s indoor team. For recreation he accompanies .Toe Ball on “Star” gazing trips around little old Du¬ buque and Asbury Road. Ray chuckles and we laugh with him, our only regret being that four yeais is loo brief a time to spend with a good friend like Rt ' iy Boh rer. John E. Byrnes.History.Brighton, Til. Whoever alibied that we become like unto the things we love built an adage through which this gentleman is excused from the boredom of our un¬ couth midwest. Despite adverse environment John is an honor student and the Dramatic Club’s right- hand lady. Indeed, he has shone in every role from humble Mrs. Donahue on up the scale to the aristo¬ cratic Lady H. E. Douglas. Burdened though John is as typist and reporter for the various college ])ublications, he finds the time to fill an eminent position on the only Four Horseman combination west of the Mississippi. Even as Columbus sailed so might we go on and on extolling this Columbian’s merits. But enough to note that John’s roommate is none other than the ledoubtable Joe Rogers. We expect literary things of John “to say the least.” ’illi:im Collins...Janesville, Wis. Mathematics We have herewith the chivalrous gent from Janes¬ ville whose very name recalls the shade of a fam¬ ous Psychology professor with whom we are all gladly familiar. However, Bill’s worth need not rest solely in ancestral pride because his friends con¬ fidently present him to all mathematicians who hold that (iie radius of a man’s intelligence is best de¬ scribed by the circumference of his tolerance. To such as claim this we present “Tolerable Bill.” His merits move in circles; for example, an alarmingly ample girth utterly fails to describe a figure en¬ circling the many friends of this cheerful fellow who wisely saw fit to return to Columbia after a two- vear absence. Lest you suspect the man of hoard¬ ing his many fine traits we beg you to stroll ovei on ( randview some sunny day and behold, for your own edification, the inevitable .son’s famous equation: A young man s fanc plus a (lay in Spring. Thirty-Five Vcrn F. Cross... Philosophy... Mason City, Iowa ‘Buck’s’ one fault lies in his modesty. Tenacity of purpose has borne him fruits of which the most of us know nothing simply because Vern did not choose to do his studying on the house-tops. It is a secret worthy of appreciation to know that this fellow has taken an especial interest in Philosophy. He has spent many hours of serious study with Hickey and Cronin, the two redoubtable authors with whom we have all had more or less painful contact. To “Buck” these w’orthies mean more than mere print. Indeed, he chums with elusive abstract ideas while you and I grope blindly about hoping for Plato’s projection of an idea to pierce the darkness of our minds. Vern’s membership in the great walk¬ ing trio. Cross, Flynn and O ' Grady, indicates that future Histories of Philosophy will have to make room for a new pupil in the Peripatetic School. If a little philosophy is a dangerous thing our friend will always be kind and friendly even as he is to-day. r crnarcl T. Dccny.Latin.Waukon, Iowa There is something pathetic about majoring in Latin. For three years Deeny was known for his optimistic outlook on life, his smile captivated mil¬ lions. But in his Senior year anxious friends noted a premature stoop of the shoulders, puckered brows and a marked tendency toward absentmindedness. Many possible causes were thought of, but our worst fears were confirmed when our friend was appre¬ hended one Saturday afternoon pouring over volumes of Cicero. For the benefit of all Juniors we repeat, “The paths of glory lead but to the grave.” Besides distinguishing himself in Latin, Barney is not with¬ out honor in other more or less scholastic pursuits. He is an old reliable on the class bowling team. Many are the hearts that have been cheered on Saturday afternoon by Mr. Deeny’s lively philosophy. John W. DcRochcr.Latin.Shullsburg-, Wis. Small in stature and tall in scholastic achieve¬ ments are two of the many exceptional qualities of our vest-pocket edition from the Badger State. “Kewpie” is the thesis probatur that a good little man is better than a good big man. He quietly slipped into our ranks when we started our Fresh¬ man year, but reserve prevented us from gaining his friendship until “Buzz” selected the modest one for the chief role in “Arms et the Man.” Later John made his d6but as catcher on Eddie Kopel’s cham¬ pionship indoor team. Whether or not John will be used in any future Biseniiis productions is a secret. All of us are glad that fortune cast this Frenchman with us in the great four-act drama “Higher Edu¬ cation.” He played his part well and is justly re¬ warded with the best wishes of his fellow students. Thirty-Six Martin J. Diamond.Philosophy.Lead, S. D. Just vhen we had worn through his reserve and found a real diamond, Pop shifted gears and be¬ came a Day Dodger. We missed him, but were pleased to know that he lived with the kindly pas¬ tor of Nativity Church. We rue the day Pop left us each Autumn Avhen he ushers the oval long enough to win the Annual Boarder vs. Day Dodger classic. Pop’s greatest triumphs have been on the field, but Iiis real battles were waged against Cicero, Livy and Company. No blood was spilt in these encounters, but all of us know full well the dangers surround¬ ing the so-called dead languages. Martin bravely contended with the Homan Legion and his re ald will be given on the third day of June. A Maxima Cum Laude is not ours to give, so we bequeath to this fellow a IMaxima Cum Voluntate. JJasil ]. Doyle.] Iathcniatics...Rock Island, 111. “Bas J ' came to us from the down-river city, Hock Island. Strange to say he did not “tote” wea¬ pons we were wont to associate with all Hock Isl¬ anders. Instead, and much to our chagrin, he car¬ ries a friendly Irish grin plus a natural bent for Mathematics. With those two apparently conflicting assets Friend Basil began to form friends and fig¬ ures. To-day he wields considerable influence in both fields. Lest we forget, “Bas” can also muster a most lustrous blush, a feat that bespeaks modesty and good heart action. After our memorable third day of the sixth month of the twenty-sixth year we exjtect our fellow-classmate to return to his city and reform the natives by his gentlemanly actions. Those who fail to heed their exemplary model may .justly be buried under an avalanche of mathematical (equations — a sentence we arc positive our friend can admisister. Albert J. Entringcr...Chcmistrv...l.)ubuquc, Iowa “Cutie” Entringer is a versatile man. His worth is evidenced by the high regard in which he is held by faculty and students. The honor roll testifies to his classwork, and sport writers have said enough about his work on the gridiron to turn any man’s head. His speed plus good head work made him an ideal quarterback. Many are the games which have been won by Cutie’s quick thinking, long distance punting, hard tackling, and consistent running. The good showing made last fall was largely due to ra])tain Entringer. Opposing elevens soon found that to top Columbia’s plunges as directed by Cutie was tirer le diable par la queue. (Pardon my French) In int r-class basketball the Day Dodgers had En¬ tringer as high point man. In every game he proved himself a capable man with a good eye for baskets. Columbia and the Senior Class not without leason exi ect great things of Cutie in the future. Thiiiy-Sovcn Paul J. Every.English.Salix, Iowa “Well, folks, it took three weeks to grow it, and there’s none other half so cute in the college, and Joe had to hold the mirror at every conceivable angle while I was shaving, but it’s worth it don’t you think?’’ Paul has spent an active four years at Columbia, — or in Dubuque we should say. “Most likely.’’ Space and discretion do not permit us to record all his extra-collegiate activities. In his Fresh¬ man year he was a member of the varsity football and basketball squads under Coach Anderson. ID was beginning to show real class his second year at Columbia when he was forced out due to an injury. A stellar performer in inter-class athletics, a fine cheerleader combined with uncanny financial ability in the management of the Purgold are only a few of the pleasant things w ' c can recall about “Our Paul.’’ Lcv J. T-‘ans:man.Mathcmatic.s.. Xasluia. Iowa Leo in true Pythagorean fashion combines music and mathematics. For your years the terms Fang- man and second bass section have been practically interchangeable. In the band and orchestra he does his stuff w ' ith the drums in masterly fashion, and the silvery tones of his xylophone regale his third floor neighbors, in agreeable contrast to Forky’s trombone, Ferring’s bass horn and Marzen’s Irish whisper. Leo’s excessive longitude has occasioned much comment, but the way he explains it is that if his legs were any shorter they wouldn’t roach the ground — a sad state of affairs, to be sure. Leo’s ambition once led him to attempt to leap from the ground floor of the old Loras Hall gymnasium to the balcony, q ' he results w ' ere too painful to narrate. Leo’s meals were carried to him for a month, but he lived to tell the story and major in mathematics. IX ' tcr 1 ' . iMtzpatrick... Latin ...Miles City, Mont. Peter was born in Ireland, reared in Miles City, was educated and lost a green cap in Columbia,— and if you w’ant to know the rest, wait twenty years and then look him up in “Who’s Who.’’ The story of Peter’s checkered career reads like a romance. His early years among the cactus, his flight from home, the tyranny of the cruel section boss and Peter’s murder of the same, his coming to Columbia and his slow but ultimately successful struggle to h arn the ways of civilization. What Freshman has not listened to these harrowing details from Peter’s gifted tongue? But Peter’s audience is not restrict¬ ed to Freshmen; professors and students have stood mutely by and watched this playboy of the Western World cavort through his college course. Disciplin¬ arians despair, profes.sors protest, students smile, and Peter nonchalantly runs his hand through his hair and fastidiously shrugs his shoulders. He has to his credit a brilliant scholastic record, a major in Latin, a well-fed look, the nil mirari of a stoic — which can now and then permit of a classical laugh, and a unique place in the hearts of his classmates. Thirty-Eiglit J,(� iiis j. inynn.Ilistt)ry.Cedar Kalis, Iowa Louie joined the class as a Sophomore. He comes from Cedar Falls; we know he has two brothers in the i)riPsthood. But of Louie we know little. He is a man of mystery — is said to have a “past. ' ’ In the three years he has been with us Louie has shown a spirit of honest, perseverinp: work that Avill doubtless pain him reco nition wherever he ?oes. An Irish brop:ue is another quality that Louie pos- ses.ses, of which he is justly proud and intends to retain. Louie ' s friends are lep ion: he ?ets alonp: with everybody, even the professors. Camels and Lucky Strikes, however, are Louie’s sworn enemies, and in their wholesale annihilation Louie takes a l)eculiar delit ht. In his Senior year Louie shared his room with a certain Dampe, — a Junior and the local physician for diseased Fords and radios. Louie flid this out of ])ure benevolence, we understand, and not with any vain ambition to rain notoriety thereby. Keep him supplied with ci.c:arettes, say we. and Louie will do things. Aloysius J. lM)rkcnI)rock...Ncw llampttni, Iowa Social Science This is Columbia’s gem of commotion. “Forkie” has been with the old school for eight years, but few of us knew him save as a musician and general good fellow until one Autumn day “AT ' bloomed forth as a master of the Charleston art. Needless to say his social efliciency was secure. We do not begrudge the man his just dues, but when “Al’s’’ goim not only will he be missed by the fair misses but also by the musical organizations about college. The band will lose its most able musician and we. too, will lose the friendship of a man with whom we associate only pleasant memories. His graduation day will mark the i assing of the third Forkenbrock brother who attended Columbia, and our chief regret i.s that “.M” is the last. During his course he has built nj) a strong army of friends, an army that is far superior to the forces of mere books and far more diflicult to muster and maintain. Michael |. lladcli an.Knt lisli.Peoria, Til. The only thing w ' rong in this picture is the grad¬ uation of The Lorian and Spokesman in the person of Haddigan. Mike has been the Man Friday about college for years. Every duty he touched has been bettered, and duty for him is legion. He is a man of mysteries. Last June we bade a Sophomore goodbye, to-day we greet a Senior. He has been buried with work innumerable times, but always comes up with a smile and things done. Aside from editorial duties Mike is poet, actor, playwright, wai¬ ter, etc., ad infinitum. It is impossible to predict what corning year ' s hold for Haddigan. His manifold accomplishments in the past bewilder any proph¬ ecies lor the future. But wher-e pi-ophecy fails our best wishes sustain the hope that Mike will carr y on his energetic and successful labor ' s in whatever field he cntei ' s. Thii’t - Nine George R. Hardy.Philosophy.Chicago, Ill. The true worth of a raduate wliose college days have been spent in study alone is properly apprec¬ iated by a scrutiny of the records in the registrar’s office. Skip, however, may be justly exempted from the number of those obscure fellows whose time has been wholly employed between the class room and the study hall. His scholastic record is cnnlitabh . Skip did not look for snap courses, but iiolishing his trusty binoculars he scanned the horizon of the ho- rarium for a Mathematics course and something in the shape ot Latin philosophy. George is a student. But when we consider the variety and scope of his activities outsde the classroom we are at a loss to see where he found time for study. Cheer-leader one year, the next he is elected unanimously by the Senior Class Student Manager of Athletics. And was there ever such a Student Manager as Skip? Ask the faculty, ask the players, ask the students. Skip always has the old fight and anyone who comes in contact with him i.s sure to become imbued with some of the spirit. l a])hacl J. Ilcnncs....I)ul)u iue, Iowa Chemistry Ray lives on Alta Vista and he has been with us for eight years in the Academy and in College. In a calm, quiet way he has gone through a college course making friends at every turn. Long hours spent amid nauseating chemicals have made no im¬ pression on his cheerful smile. Ray has a small laboratory of his own and this explains why he is seldom seen in public. We admire his scientific bent and wish him success in that field. Ray has the good gift of determination, he never loses sight of his aim and this quality has won for him count¬ less friends about college, friends who admire his likable personality and cheerful grin. ICmmct IIowcs........Waiikoii, Iowa Political vScicncc - - mmet came down from W aukon and joined our crew in 1922. Deeny brought him along and there¬ fore we thought that he was all right. Emmet was perfectly harmless for the first tw ' o years, but wdien he arrived at the philosophic stage w’e’ noticed a change came over him. Our suspicions grew ' and came at last to a shocking culmination when “Ho- sie” returning from a tea was found wearing a deli¬ cate, flimsy shimmering scarf with a color, and a texture and a scent that beggar description. But • ' Hosio” is a man’s man for all his social lionizing. He showed his stuff last fall when Coach Layden shoved him into the fray as substitute end in foot¬ ball. In inter-class athletics he has always been one of the main stays of the class, and the captain of the Senior class basketball team was none other than he of the w ' avy locks. Emmet is a fine stu- denl, the best of sports — a life term of popularity is our sentence for “Hosie.” Forty Lt ' iwrc ' iicc C. Klasscii.Cedar Kapids, Jowa Political Economy Four years ago Larry arrived at Columbia, shook the dust out of his clothes and proceeded to estab¬ lish himself at Loras Hall, wheie he has i)roven himself generally useful ever since. He made the choir in his Freshman year and steadily his wee small voice has been increasing in volume, tone, and beauty until it has become the pride of the choir. Pull your chairs in close and listen, children, I have a secret to impart. Larry has acquired a typewriter. W’here? Probably in some antique shop. It looks like the barge Hannibal used to ferry his elephants across from Carthage to Spain. Its mechanism re¬ sembles closely that of an old-fashioned steam thresher. The day the thing arrived Father S- heard a noise on the third floor and he thought it was Hardy and Louie White fighting again, but on running up to quell the riot he found it was only Larry addressing a letter. He has since been for¬ bidden to use his typewriter during study periods. Edmund C. Kopcl.llistory.llcnryctta, Okla. Eddie is one of those who can “remember way back wheiT’ at Columbia. He has been here seven years, having entered the Academy when a second academic. Eddie began making friends the day he arrived and hasn’t stopped since. Baseball is Ed¬ die’s hobby, vocation, avocation, desire and means of livelihood. As a third baseman Eddie is admit- tedly the best ever to wear Columbia’s colors. Pie lias also been a faithful member of the basketball squad for four years, where despite his lack of v pight he is rated as a star. In indoor Eddie has been cajitain, pitcher and manager of his class team that has year in and year out consistently cleaned up all opponents. Eddie is deservedly one of the most popular men in the class and is familiarly dubbed—“Kaptain,’’ “The Oklahoma Kid,’’ “Monkey,” “Sam,’’ “Cute Little Shaver.” Athletic laurels mean no more to Eddie than they do to his roommate, Bernie White. Everything is explained by Eddie’s well known formula — “Gee! I was lucky!” Oscar E. Kurt.Clicmistry.Hcllcvuc, Iowa This youth is big Chief Bellevue’s offering to the field of science. Oscar understands perfectly the chemical compositon and working principles of prac¬ tically all compounds ranging the scale between aqua and hash. With these foundations it is nat¬ ural to conclude that the young man is richly de- ser ing of his laurels won from books. Aside from iiis activities in Science Hall, Oscar is finished in the art of music. We are all familiar with his ac- complisli� if i on the French horn. Oscar and his brother, Winfred, are the youngest men in the grad¬ uation class. Though young in years this fellow is well advanced on the road of mentality. His future is most bright and past achievements argue for just rewards to come if he continues the present mode of action. I nrt -One W infred A. Kurt.History.Ikdlevuc, Iowa Speaking of his brother one day Winfred re¬ marked, “He is the most foolish and lazy member of onr family, in any other he would be considered the most intellectual and industrious.” Since our friend specializes in history we suggest that after the fash¬ ion of other great men he write an autobiography, entitled “From knee-breeches to Sheepskin in four years.” He divides with his twin brother the distinc¬ tion of being the youngest member of the class of ’2ti. Winfred not only does good work in the class room, but is Father Kuenzel’s right hand man in the lib¬ rary. In the orchestra and band he slides a wic-ked trombone. His on,e weakness (all men have their faults) is Chevrolets. W infred has elected to devote his talents to the enlightening of the young. His good qualities insure what his friends wish liim a brilliant future. Kdward J. Lorcnz........_...Hul)ii(|uc, Towa Social Science i During the course of eight long years Kdward has traveled to and from Columbia to Wilson Ave¬ nue, or in the teleological order, W ilson Avenue to Columbia. Ed. is all right, but still he is a day dodger. W th regard to the day-students we refuse to commit ourselves lest it be said that we were tak¬ ing unfair advantage of our position. As we all re¬ member, the day-students played and defeated the boarders’ All Star eleven last fall. Mr. Lorenz was the competent right tackle for the day-dodgers. The man who played opposite him has recovered, but he still bears the marks of the Melee. Ed. has taken some stiff cour.ses in Philosophy, Latin, and History, and in all has done good work. W’e are sure that when he leaves Columbia it will be but a short time till Ed. gains recognition from this bleak cold world of ours. John C. AlcClo.skcy.Knj i’lisli.l)ul)iKjuc, Towa John is another eight-year man — a day-student Irish, full of ambition, beloved of student.s and pro¬ fessors. W e feel confident that John will alway.s letain this ambition, at any rate we have never seen anj of it asted on mere worldly enterprises. John is a talented student and his remarkable intel¬ lectual abilities will no doubt manifest themselve.s some day. At tennis John is somewhat of a shark; he has appeared in the finals of several college tour naments. His modesty is well known and perhaps accounts for his insistence on always getting the back seat in the classroom. His style can scarcely be called the grand style, and yet he has the powei of lendering the commonplace things of life in a thoroughly elevated manner. W itness his version ol a well known ditty, “Cheer, cheer, the multitudes assemble, so why should we perturb ourselves now ?’ I I’oily-Two i j. Vincent McCormick..Emmctsl)iirg, Iowa Sociology Jay Vincent cle Bourbon is one of the Irish princes from Emmetsburg. At present he is sergeant-at- arms in Sleepy Hollow. Pie is a crack indoor player and forerunner of the wrestling tournament. Vince majored in Sociology and his thesis settled once and for all that environment does play a more influen¬ tial role than heredity. INIac is on the Senior cap and gown committee and on his good judgment de¬ pends the angle of mortar boards on graduation day. Although Vince hails from Emmetsburg we are ra¬ ther hesitant about assigning him to that city which has enough claim to distinction, for it is common knowledge about Columbia that a certain inland town not far distant from Dubuque has claims on our friend. Be this as it may, JNlac is a gentleman, a good student, and a fine judge of social problems. Ivlward J. McPartland.Cedar Rapids, Iowa English It is a platitude in certain circles that out of Cedar Rapids comes nothing good. That is hardly fair. We should consider the product of the Quaker Oats Company. Mac, like that famous breakfast food, is well liked everywhere. During his four years of college activities Ed. has displayed a varied ar¬ ray of talents. In college dramatics he has played many parts, and every part well. Especially out¬ standing was his excellent performance in “Captain Applejack, “The Aviator and “Magic. In the field of music Mac is a genius of versatile faculties — he can pound a piano or coax solemn notes out of a j)ipo organ. Edward came through his senior year with a blaze of triumph by winning the gold medal in oratory at the Annual Oratory contest ISIarch 19. IV ' trr E. Marzen...] Iar1)lc Rock, Iowa Political Science “A little nonsense now and then, A little horse-play on the side. Was relished by the wisest men Who really lived before they died. Although Pete is serious sometimes, on occasion he can descend the one step which philosophers as¬ sure us joins the sub lime to the ridiculous. Pete has been a great figure in inter-class athletics. He played hard for his class in indoor, basketball, in pas ' sball, and when the boarders met the daydodgers or the ootball championship of Loras Hall, Pete showed the daydodgers a few things, and it wasn’t iiis fault that the boarders lost. His is the ne plus ultra of college spirit. At one basketball game in his pnlhiisiasm over a spectacular basket he bumped his head ’getting a rather mean cut. Professional ethics, hmvever keeps the doctor who attende dhim from revealing what he saw in Pete’s head. The future will tell and Pete’s hard working disposition and healthy assure for him success in whatever he undertakes. I tiiay-Three Sumner, Iowa Francis S. !Miir])liy. Social Science A few years back this fellow joined the ranks of our diurnal callers. He survived, but to us he never looked the same. Still because Frank i)res( rves the school girl complexion and the old batting (‘ye we are glad to say a kindly word in b(-dialf of the gen¬ tleman from Sumner. You may look near, you may look far, yea, even “look in the buggy” and fail to find a better outfielder than Frank. Wisdom and avoirdupois made him scorn the usual ability to catch fly balls. His law argues that the shortest and surest distance between put-outs is directly pro¬ portional to the time spent studying the batter. He .seldom made a spectacular catch because he pre¬ ferred to study The hitter and wait for the ball to come his way. To less rotund outfielders Frank be- rjueaths the track work. The success of Murphy’s law gain d three Varsity monograms and such pro¬ ceeds argue for a universal adaptation of the simple principle. Louis P. 0’Grady...Social vScicncc...Kcwanec, Ill. Three years ago Louie came to Columbia from St. Viator College. He came to fill the chair of Chief Dope Bucketeer left vacant by the passing of our renowned “Huck” Hallo way. Since that memor¬ able September day Louie’s has been the final word on all things athletic. Judging from the frequent appearance of this Irishman’s name on the honor roll it seems that his authority extends over into the scholastic field. This, by the way, is a most acceptable means of avoiding foreign and domestic entanglements. When school is closed and the of¬ ficial O’Grady seal has been duly affixed to “Fckies” various All-American, All-State, and All-Told teams, Louie lakes time out to grease the hub of our West¬ ern Hemisphere, Kewanee, Illinois. The moments I left over and above these various duties are spent f supervising the Illinois Central system. Our un- j solicited advice to this young man is that he com- j pile an athletic guide of ready references for all tho.se iinfamiliar with such famous events as the David-Goliath setto and Merkle’s memorable faux pas. D(UiaI(I G. P(.‘t(.-rs.Pliil()S()])liy ...Alonona, Iowa Don is one of the Monona triumvirate of Peters. Whether it is brains or cash or generalship that Don contributes to the trio is disputed, but the three of them function quite harmoniously. Don is a like¬ able chap, a good student, and always ready to do his bit for the honor of the class and the school. In his classes hr has b(‘en consistently successful throughout his four years. He laid a firm founda¬ tion in Mathematics and then decided he would in¬ dulge to the 111 most in his love for wisdom, and ma¬ jor in Philosophy. Don’s pleasant disposition and sociability are assets that will gt‘t him far on the road to success, for these are the qualities that Don’s classmates admire in him. A sprightly little Iihonograph and Charleston inspiring records are al¬ so cogent reasons for the popularity of room 317. ) i 7 I j I l’’( ily-Fo ir V criion I. Peters. PIiil()S()])hy... Monona, Iowa Vern is a man who is capable of rising to noble heights, one reason why he was a valuable sub at center on this year’s basketball team. In the DeKalb game he did especially good work. On the class bowling team he has made sugar out of the old maples many a time. He played also on the class indoor and pass-ball teams, and on many occasions his long reach put the team on the way to victory. Lest one get a one-sided view of our friend we must mention that he is a de luxe sacristan, having served his time under that inimitable master, Joe Bohr. This year’s Forum Society is indebted to Vern for the many fine programs it enjoyed over the radio .so generously donated by him. Vern is a student and in his thesis he follows the example of Pontius Pilate, and inquires concerning truth, but unlike the other he wants an answer. Leonard J. Pig ' ott.History.Waiikon, Iowa Tf we were given to speculation and forecasting we might look into lieonard’s future and tell many interesting things. As a Freshman Leonard’s field of activifies was limited to French, Latin, History, and Math. For a while it was feared he would dis¬ regard the advice given to all Freshmen and let his studies interfere with his college education. How¬ ever of late he has not only found time to practice the Charleston, but has shown to the annoyance of those rooming near him a grave interest in Cales- ihenics. Like some other great men he hails from Waukon, and performs daily on the fiddle; both are accomplishments of which anyone might be proud. In Le Cercle Franqais he has been an active mem¬ ber, participating in all its meetings. In short Len is a good student and a man who will make a place for himself in the world. John J. Plamondcni.Latin.DuI)iKjiic, Iowa John in positive disproof of all the unkind things that have been said and written about day-students and scholastic standing has persistentlv maintained a very prominent place on the honor roll. Latin seems to have been his specialty, though his poems and essays in the Spokesman indicate his ability along other lines. Around the college John has been quite harmless, always observing the maxim that “there is no diplomacy like silence.” John owns a nice, big camera and with it has made himself quite useful to the management of pictorial numbers of the S])okesman and the Purgold. John, with his Super-Gratlex. is responsible for some of the best pictures in this Annual. However, it cannot be said that John is a narrow specialist in Latin or photo¬ graphy because he also drives a Ford with agility. lA ' ty-Fivo l.oiiis A. Putz.Philcjsopliy.W ' iiicoma, Towa This quaint fellow with the dreamy eyes is not a poet, but a philosopher. I ouis came to Columbia as a Junior. Where he kept himself during the first tv. ' o years of his college life is one of the many mysteries of life. During his Junior year he repre¬ sented the Purple and Gold as a distance runner in the Conference Track Meet. But for his Senior year he saved the one indiscretion of his college career, nay, it was worse than that. He, a Senior, chose for a room mate a Freshman. Well, every one to his ta.ste, as the man said when he took a drink out of the fire extinguisher. Louie’s fine qualities, which won him his many friends at college, assure for him a future. Anthony J. Ivhoinhcri .1 )iil)iK|iic, Triwa Political .Science Tony’s great deep voice and menacing figure has been an attraction in every program of our Dramatic Club for the past four years. Sometimes as hero, often as villian, in every role he has played his part well. As we do not read the Movie Magazine and not having a technical v ocabulary sufficient to de¬ scribe Mr. Rhomberg’s art, the aid of one of the lower classmen was obtained. This young fellow keeps up on all the movie stars, but he modestly asked that we keep his name out of print. This young prodigy says that Tony’s appearance is chick, his acting naiv e, and that his delivery should be able to get him a cottage in any movie colony. We don’t think this is extravagant praise, for Tony won first prize in the Oratorical contest last year. Tony is a serious student and has done especially good work in the social sciences. P. Posc...MatlK‘matics...Dul)iu|uc, Towa Philosophers quibble and ethicians distinguish, but mathematicians go straight. Is there anything you would like to know of the logarithm of the variable X to the ninth power or the ISth amendment to the law of man’s action, ask our capable Charles. Our friend has one vice, an innate predilection for loud, gaudy neckwear, which may or may not be the re¬ sult of some former psychical disorder—which dulled his fine powers of discrimination. You, gentle rea¬ der, are not to mistake our meaning and gather from what has been asserted above that Mr. Rose is an impractical chaj); he is far from that. He is up on all current pioblems. and when he dogmat¬ ically asserts his views, the hoi polloi usually bow in silent tribute to his great powers of analysis. In short, Charles is a silent chap, who, nevertheless, has his own manner of making his influence felt. 1 ' oily -Si K Philip M. Sclircnipf.—.Dubuque, Iowa vSocial Science An unobtrusive, demure lad. — Philip probably would make no serious objection no matter what we said about him, but it is here that true charity manifests ilself. Let us be f?ontle with Philip. He has been a hei-o in a very real sense of the word. So is every man that stays out for football for three years and bears the battering that “scrubs” invar¬ iably £:et from the regulars and from the coaches (men like, Anderson and Layden). Outside of school hours Philip is engaged in the automotive interests of the citj , in which business he is quite capable of using to good advantage the rhetoric acquired from Cicero and Quintilian. Philip has ever shown an active interest in the class, and in particular he showed considerable vexation over the delayed ar¬ rival of the class pins. Vincent A. Walsh...PhilosopIiy...Dubuciuc, Iowa West Dubuque offers this philosopher as its con¬ tribution to Columbia’s 1926 scholastic ladder. Vince has faithfully braved the Fourteenth Street hills for eight years. His battle, however, has not been con¬ fined entirely to the elements because he has seen service in the line in Livy and Suetonius and Sco- tus Erigena. The annual day-student-boarder foot¬ ball classic has likewise seen him in action. From the depth of philosophy to the Charleston may seem a long step, but Vince has accomplished this. We once saw him demonstrating the intricacies of this new exercise to an unsuspecting group in the Forum. In his third year at Loras Hall he was a member of the Junior Class basketball team. St. Anthony’s Parochial School league team claim Vincent as their coach. Although bested by Diamond’s Tigers their showing has been good. “Vinnie’s” cheerful Irish smile insures for him many friends. Oscar G. Wcllncr.Cedar Rapids, Lnva j ratbematics Oscar came to us from the Parlor City of Iowa and i)romptly made himself at home by winning a comfortable seat high up among our scholastic con¬ stellation. He still holds his chair in spite of Phy¬ sics, Logic, Calculus, et al. During an entire college career Oscar experienced only a few visitations from the “Keeper of B’s” — “The C Hawk” is an absolute stranger in this fellow’s life. The semi-annual bar¬ ometer which, as we have been told, indicates the way our wind doth blow, holds no horrors for this ' oung man; indeed, he generously finds time to give aid to lesser lights without the law. Aside from ‘laying his customary position on the famous pre¬ exam combination, Ferring to Wellner to “Buzz,” Oscar aHo played outfield on the championship in¬ door team. Oscar is a feather in the famous second floor wing. [•’ ' .rl y- .Novell i f I ] crnnr(l L. W’liitc.Eni lish.Eldora, Iowa Supeiiativis are usually overworked in speaking of college giaduates and it has been our purpose to avoid them in these write-ups, but now we are up against a diificulty, for we have with us the supreme all-time Columbia athlete. Barney carries off enough ‘C” sweaters to last him for the next ten years. Football, basketball, baseball, track, bowling,—quic- quid agunt homines in an athletic way. Barney is there with the goods. All-conference and all-state honors mean nothing to the bashful, retiring lad from Fldora. To hold out a 200-pound tackle is fun for Bernie, but to stand out in front of a crowd and say ten worrls at a pep meeting is the worst agony anyone could wish on him. Nor is it enough to speak of Bernie’s athletic prowess, for in the class room also the Eldora boy is no back number. Time and time again has he made the honor roll while choir, dramatics, and athletics made serious en¬ croaches on his time. Bernie’s niche in Columbia’s athletic hall of fame is secure, but it is not half as secure as i.s the place his gentlemanly ways have won for him in the hearts of his class mates and all with whom In has come in contact. Eoni.s P. hitc.1 listory... Worthington, Iowa Louie spent eight 3 ears at Columbia College and Academy, majored in history and minored in ger¬ aniums. Louie was a varsity football man for four years, twice winning the coveted “C.” His first three years at Loras were peaceful, but when, in his Senior year, Louie dragged his trunk up to Sleepy Hollow and agreed to live with Skip Hardy, the poor lad’s troubles commenced in earnest. It is hard in¬ deed to be pointed out in chapel with the words, “Take the blanket off the hippopotamus,’’ but when the boys all say that the cause of the sinking of Ihe south ing is not the library but Hardy’s room mate — that i.s adding insult to injury. Be that as it may, Louie is no featherweight, i)hysically or any other way and when he bids farew ' ell to Columbia he leaves bL ' hind a host of friends and admirers who are going to be greatly surprised if Louie doesn’t “do things’’ in later life. Peter vS. 1.1. Yanf, -.Chemistry.Canton, Cliina Pete, our sole Oriental, joined us in 1922 and has bfen fighting for the class ever since. Pete is short on the avoirdupois, but he has the required gi’ay matter as a glance over the studies he has iiuj’sued will indicate. Snap courses have no entice¬ ment foi’ this boy: organic chemistry and higher mathematics are Peter’s delights. But Peter’s hard work at school has made him no recluse. He is a regular fellow’, blessed with a disposition aUvays pleasant and jovial. Indeed, frivolity is quite notice¬ able in the antics of the Four Horsemen, a quartet which includes Pete. Speculation w as rife as to who w’as the sender of a profusely decorated and amorously worded valentine to Pete, but the young man’s spirited vindication of himself in a Forum meeting mitigated our fears, and everyone is inter¬ ested in Pet( ’s pathetic query, “Where is my Loo- Si V” The Class of 1926 Class Dedication To The Little Flo v er ' J ' o the undying memory and the loving protection of our Pa¬ troness, vSt. Teresa, the little Carmelite nun of Lisieux, who by the magnitude of her charity, and by the depth of her humility, won for herself the chaplet of God ' s sainthood, and for a briar-encumbered world a shower of roses to give it joy and peace, we, the class of nineteen hundred twenty-six, conlide our efforts and entrust our hopes for the morrow.

Michael Haddigan is a student, poet, orator and in his si)are time lie acts in the capacity of editor of The Lorian. The mom¬ ents left over and above are devoted to our literary organ, the Spokesman. Our scholastic standard is shared by Bisenius, Ferring, and M ' ellner. Our literary lights, Haddigan, Hraciy and .McCloskey can write the words for our march. He Rocher, Deeny and Planiondon will sup¬ ply the classic element and Fitzpatrick will furnish [he classical laugh. With this array the Class can graduate with complacent hopes for the future. In¬ deed, the Class looked so promising that Putz, Had¬ digan and the Superior Brand Plardy did double time lo join the Big Parade. During the past four years we have lost tempers, green caps and hall-trees; we have bearded Hickey 1 - nui icales. borne up under the rancor of antique • Tso o. and on-ev -ileci so also we Columbians phonogiaphs, and T?nriim Ins lived to a ripe old age under our regime. This fiatll contrarj to the previous custom of a brilliant innovation - after that the dark. With such a record as this in the background we lay claim to fifty niches in the library building. Despite the filching of green caps and hall-trees our college i-ivs have been very agreeable and no matter where you roam, on land, or sea, or fo-im you can always remember Dohrer’s chuckle, Jlarzeifs grin and Fitzpatrick’s classical laugh. In retrosiiect four years seem brevity itself, but how vividly one re¬ calls that balmy September day of nineteen hundred twenty-two when we galloped into Loras Hall to be pertly requested to dismount and meet the eminent Monsieur Zoroaster ' We were firmly urged to partake of the .good man ' s vintage and board — mostly board. Immediately following our reception we were generously invited to take chairs and feel at home, but we felt too well and blushingly declined for reasons best known to ourselves. ' I ime has wrought a change, the scene of our ignominy is now a sedate Forum. The editor of this book, Mike Martin, is our president. He is an able pilot indeed, and it is only when Mike becomes bored that we are contrasted to an appreciation of his true worth. Frank Brady is vice-president and also famous for the many things he brought out in his thesis. Clarence Ferring of scholastic light is secretary and Lincoln Whelan is recorder of Senior Deeds and Mis-deeds. To Arthur Vorwald was entrusted the duty of valedictorian for the second time. The extra-classroom activities at a boarding school are both instructive and un¬ iquely manifold. One discovers such phenomena as when a bowlin.g alley is not bowling alley.

Harrowing trial scenes and post-vacation revelations ha t pla. pd hat in our ranks. At times our fate seems sealed, but the Siinima is a remedy for all things and enables us to march on. The business of leaving our friends behind tints the joy of graduation day.

Fitly - Five r The Junior Voice W hen, after a monotonous ten weeks of waiting, the class of ' 27 as¬ sembled on the most elevated oi Dubuque’s hills, we were enlisted as Jun¬ iors, and resolved to further the good cause which for two years wc had so nt bly advanced. Registration records evidenced sadly depleted junior ranks, but mindful of Sallust’s advice, “liy union the smallest states thrive,’ we would not be disheartened. With the judgment becoming phih sophers we re-elected Pete Morgan to wield the gavel, and chose Leo r crger as his handmaid. To “Scoop” b ' riel was entrusted the quill and cash-register, and our sentiments were placed in care of George Reichle to be fashioned to his effective “line.” Led by these men we set out in solid formation to du things. As an expression of our school spirit and Christian charity we tendered the Preshmen a very mitigateil, law-abiding “reception” at which we hojx ' they felt green because of green felt. Postprandial petting parties offered a starry afterglow to that mollified ceremony. The Juniors were then re¬ ceived into the Forum Society at a ncjteworthy smoker which sealed the bonds of friendship and Cf)-opcration so evident between the upper classes. Although modesty has always been our second-nature, a word of self- assertion does not seem f ut of place to intimate the deeds of (luality-men as distinguished from quantity-men. Of our schof)l spirit we are ])r()ud, be it in chapel exercises, cam])us life, or activities in the refectory. In short, as a body we are conscious of our success. As U) individual honors we re¬ gard a Junior’s accomplishment as a Junior’s accomplishment, but let us enumerate some high spots in (mr pursuits. Recall our j)erccntage on the quarterly honor-roll; read the ])ages that our pens have contributed to the Spokesman, Lorian, and Purgold; listen to the harmony and crescendo of Junior choristeis: adjust your auricular organs to the mellow notes of J ' iors in the band and orchestra; hear ye our golden words of cjratory ; shaie the emotions of our dramatic stars; glue your lam])S on our energetic cheei- leaders directing an avalanche of “Columbia heights”; in athletics admiie our rcjiresentation — including two cai)tains ; cheer tor our warriors who “took ’em out,” “blocked that i)unt,” and tugged the pigskin over the en¬ emy ' s chalk-line; consitlcr the Junijrs whose floor-work and caging upheld Columbia in basketball : focus your o|.qics on Juniors who hit the cinders for mam a hard-earned point; bear in mind how our men plied the bat, “shoved it by ’em,” and pranced the bases that Columbia might win; don’t forget Junior inter-class teams, — measuring not by victory but by fight and de¬ termination; envy our class mates who have made famous the names of h ' lorsheim and Stylc])lus, and who handle themselves in true Terjisichorean fashion; then by all that’s fair in ratiocination agree with us that we have attained our ends of ' ersatility and v ' uccess. W’e catalogue our activities only as a reminder that tliroughout the })ast year Columbia has had a Jun¬ ior class. As a last word in behalf of ourselves we hojie that every Junior may return next year and that our (piality class may continue as one even to shee])skin day. d ' o the vSo])homores ami b ' reshmen we express our appreciation ol then good fellowship and ask their co-(� ])eration and enthusiasm that we mav make 1926-’27 a banner year in Cidumbia annals. W e congratulate the Sen¬ iors and wish them the best (� f luck in their ])roblems of life. renew our allegiance to Columbia and will strive as vSeniors to iqihold her sacred traditions and loftv ideals. rifty-Six ' I ' hc Sophomore Class may avcII shout their praises from the house-tops witli all the snap and pei) that can come from the classiest class in the col¬ lege. Vhen Columhia. threw open its portals on a fair September morn in 1924, that mightiest of institutions beheld a conglomeration of human be¬ ings ' that would v ell merit the advertence and consideration of the most ciTlical and exacting of schoolmasters. Kor a full year they ran the gaunt¬ let and spared no effort toward the development of the cerebral regions of their anatomy. No v thc-y stand forth as the predominat ing factor of the college. On the athletic field tliey arc real he-men ; in classes their erudite wis¬ dom is comparable cmiy to tliat of the seven wise men of Greece ; in society —well aslc them if tlie fair maidens of the city have to send a second invi¬ tation for “Tea for Two.” Yes, 1 might just as well hang out the crepe and set the stc ' ps in the organ for the funeral march. They are all distinctive, all extra(M dinary, but because of limited space we can oiily mention a few of our more singular s])ecimens. In footl.)all, vSchwind. Less, vSehaefer, Russell, Carberry, and Koob have consistently ])ounded the pigskin dinvn the line . In basketball, Doll, Russell, and Less liave added more victories to iheir already accpiired laurels. Lest we for¬ get our mighty bowlers under the cai)laincy ( ' f John Owens; how they rolled the maples down the alleys with a skill and dexterity that won for tliem the coveted banner of lanaas llall Chami)s ! Even in handball we have a versatile gamins in the person of Clarence Link. In the choir, band, and orchestra — well just usi ' vcnir own judgment. In dramatics, the Sopho¬ mores have always Ix ' en represented in a most creditable manner. As t(� litrarv honors wc cannf)t ] ass without a mentiem of ‘‘the mighty line” of D( ' )nohue.

Dubuque, Iowa Sixly-Elght Senior Academic Class ' Phc year of Columbia ' s golden jubilee has distinguished itself not only by releasing an unusual product in the personnel of the record graduating class of 1923, but also by bringing upon the scene what is now an academy Senior class more noted than any of its predecessf)rs. We have our doubts whether this year ' s graduating class was in its first academic year as dumb as most Freshmen are by tradition described. The class took an early start in carrying oft high honors espc ' cially in the scholastic field. With the gol¬ den jubilee came the final examinations and another victory for the class. The s econd year turned out to be somewhat of an anti-climax. What¬ ever the psychology of it may liave been, the class did not do as well as they had done the first year. Scholastically they had been surpassed by the other classes, but by the end of the year they had aroused a large amount (ft ambition and had entered the various contests as well as the ranks of the .Academy ' s defenders in atldetics. A number of young musicians had Ijobbcd up who were destined tc beccmie jirominent in the future. The effort had been put forth ; the foundations were laid. ' fhe class had sown well and so also did they rea]). Tn their third aca¬ demic year when the summons from the gridiron sounded, only one letter man was left. Tut in a short time there was a large squad on the field, of which the third academics had furnished enough men to make a complete team. Six of the regular members were from that class. They were Klees. Pacetti, Kaye, Ryan, Heller and McCrea. Tn basketl all the story was re¬ located. Kaye, Pacetti and ] TcC ' rca were three star performers on the team th.it on the Archdiocesan champiionship. On the baseball team were Ixlces Pacetti, Kaye, Finley, Pehn and Plamondon. So much for athletics On the honor roll the names of Schieltz. lAncl, AIcEnanv, Willging and Farrell shone above the rest. Smitherum won the storv contest early in the rear Ihe nnisical talent began to assert itself in Croake, Pacetti, Stoermer,’Ku- cera, Timmerman and Greteman. The fall of 1925 came and there, true to expectations, was the bnirth academic class trying to m.akc the final year the zenith of their career. This was the year of the birth of the .Academy TJterary Society and also the Glee Glub, both of y Inch di ew heavily from the Senior class for its member¬ ship. Tn the short-story contest ICelm captured second place, and fourth .academics predominated in the lists of h( ' moral)lc mention. The high (|u«al- ity of the Cee-.Av must be attributed to the excellency of the st.aflF, most of whom were Seniors. Finley has done splendidly as head of the staff. In checkers Prady reigns supreme. Put in athletic pursuits the class has won most of its laurels. T ' CIees fC). Tohn TCave, TTcller, Roftiis, Iftarcero, Ma¬ guire. Pacetti, Regan. Finley, TTealy, Russel, Pradv and Pehn in football upheld the reputation of the Academy while K.aye, Marcero, Txlees and Mc¬ Crea did likewise in basketTivall. Put however numerous the deeds of the Class of 1926, they are carry¬ ing awav with them something by far more valuable, more worthy because (ft its utility. They now pc ' issess something not so frail as athletic honors which can be measured by titles and championships, but they now have that moral courage and str ngth of character instilled into their youthful selves by four years of gemdne Catholic training. Some of them may seek their fortune in active life while most of them, we hope, will continue their edu¬ cation. still so incomplete, in higher Catholic schools, but wherever fate will have guided them a v ar. a lifetime, or even a decade from now, they still will feel the ujilifting influence of good old Columbia .Academy ever shaping their dostinv. They will be pnnjd to have been trained at St. Joseph TTall with that Class of 1026. Sixty-Nine Last fall wc rcturncfl to Columbia Academy ' vvitli the earnest desire of duplicating’ the excellent work oi the two previous years. In all lines of activity, scholastic and athletic, our class has excelled. ' I ' his is true of the first years wc spent at the Academy as well as this vear. The semester honor roll hears out the statement regarding scholastic ability. 1 en energetic meml ers attained the coveted goal.—d ' hey were Rey¬ nolds, Hoffman, Rhomherg, Lolwing, Kintzle, Butler, 13utcher, Friedman, Lnzler and Kinsella. Reynolds, the intellectual light (;f the I ' hird Academ¬ ics, not only led the honor roll, hut also won the short-story contest and rnuch credit is due to his efforts for ui)holding the scholastic standard of the class. the field of sports our record is also quite satisfactory. Lawrence (Larry) Reedy, captain-elect of the team of 1926, was a star in every dc- partment of the game.

Those who saw him at work before ev¬ ery contest and saw the results that he accom])lishe(b both in material effort and in maintenance of t!ie school spirit, ill ai)preciate his service to some extent, and render him tlie credit that is due him. HEAD CHEER LEADER—PAUL AVERY A remarkably high degree of college si)irit was noted in the student body this year. A very potent factor in this success was the work of Ikiul Kvery, head cheer leader, and his assistants, Donald Conway, Francis Frick and John Higgins, ' fhe corps of cheer leaders effected a splendid organiz¬ ation among the students. Games were preceded by “p ‘p” meetings. Old yells were rejected for new ones. Printed cojHes of the yells and songs were distributed. In short the whole department was completely reorgan¬ ized, thanks to the cheer leaders. St v« nl y -Sevon Coach Elmer Layden’s I’lirple and Gold Eleven made a rousing finish to their cc nference football season, and the smoke of battle cleared away to find them logical claimants to the Western Interstate Conference Cham- idunship. The season of eight games resulted in fcnir victories, one tie, and three defeats. One of the games won and two of the ones lost were extra¬ conference contests and had no bearing on Columbia’s conference standing. The Purple and Gold were able to garner sixty-nine jioints while their op¬ ponents were scoring lifty-four. ' i ' lie margin of lifteen points was enough to assure Cedumbia of a very successful year. Many fans w( re inclined to be gloomy in the early part of the season. The team had lost Captain Andy Kelly, ' Foin Wiley, and Prank Conlon by graduation. Even the mc. ' St o])timistic conceded that they would be hard to replace. Kelly as center Avas mor(‘. than (me-lifth of the fore-wall; Wiley was a flash and it may b(! many moons before Loras Field sees his equal ; and Conlon has distinguished himself as one of the most versatile players in Columbia pigskin history. Eurtlurmore these men were veterans in the fullest sense of the word, whereas most of the returning letter men had but one year of experience. Several valuable men among the reserves were al¬ so lost by graduation or failed to return: Evans, Collins, Lilly, Hussey, llaebig. Smith, and Dorsey. Then, too, the fact that the Columbia eleven wa s to be under the guid¬ ance of a new coach threw an element ol doubt into the [)re-season doi)e. There could be ik; dou!)t that the new coach could not know the men as well as his veteran predecessor. Elmer Layden, all-American Itillback and a member of Notre Dame’s National Championship ' I ' eam, who succeedial Eddie Anderson as a football coach, soon )ut all doulds to rest. I ie made no changes in methods, and put to good use the m.alerial that awaited him. lie found eight hrst string letter men back in tinifoiin, as well as a large number of reserves. In the first game he trotted out iin impermeable line and a snappy backlield ; and in the secemd battle the team i)layed their best game. One feature ( f the season lor Columbia, as for most teams in the coun¬ try, was — mud. Mud was everywhere. It was there in the Miner and Detroit games; it wa.s disastrous in the 1 )e Paul contest; the Valparaiso and LaCrosse games were not eNenijit; tlie acjuatic meet with St. Viator was Varsity Football Squad w lY i iiolhin but mud; and it invatled the field during’ even the Simpson and Lu¬ ther liattles thougli to a lesser degree. The team of next season may be considered both fortunate and unfor¬ tunate: fortunate in the number of players w ho will return, and unfortunate in the calibre of the men w ho are being lost. Captain Enlringer, cme of the ])est (juarterl)acks in Columlua’s history, and universally chosen for that position on the all-C ' UifereTice tram, will leave an enormous gap. Joe Hall, all-conference fullb ' aeh, never found a conference line too tough for him, and will certainly be hard to re])lace. The loss of Hernie W hite w ' ill be very much regr(‘tted ; lieriue is all-C(� nfrrcnce end and Ccdnmbia’s greatest all¬ round warrior, l ouie W ' hite, anotlier all-conference man at tackle, has an abundance of fight that will be- bailly missed. ‘kScubbs’ ' ' Pschirgi does not graduate, but he has played his four years ; it is a long road that leads to such another ground-gaining and defensive half as fschirgi. Of the re¬ serves Emmett llow’es is the only one to be lost; he was trying out for end and was near the top in the competition. However, the prospects carry more than a lot of sunshine. The letter men wdio wdll returji are numerous; Captain ' fhomas, guard; Joe Kellogg, end; I ' rank Less, tackle; “W ' hitie’ Keegan, tackle; Ered Sclnvind, guard, rhil vSehaefer, center; “Jiggs” Noonan, (piarterback : Dick Carberry, half¬ back; WT ' nd(‘ll Russell, halfback; and Art Cioebel, fullback. The followdng considerable number ( ' f reserves will also return: Lynch, Idynn, C. Stirn, Hrennan. iMcGuire, Mulcahy, Alullan, Daly, Dcuiahoe, Coogan, Hauer, Goerdt, I. Kellv, M. Kelly, Steinbach, and I ' erion. St‘Von’ y-Xiiio The Season: Game by Game Columbia 14; Wisconsin School of Mines 6. The season was opened under ralher (loudy r-ircumstancer. Cohinibiii though certain ol mus-.erinj? s(reirc:lh was an un¬ known qnanlily. and rumors liad been prevalent that the team from Platlevilh- was unusually strong. However, the clouds .soon disappeared before the plunging of Hail and the onslaught of the Columbia line. Hall and Kellogg made the Columbia touch¬ downs. The Miners uncorked a tiiple threat in the per.son of their halfback, Clark who scored near the end of the game on the second team, who put in a lighting limil Quarter. Columbia 0; Detroit University 6. When the Detroit University team pushed a touchdown over the Purple and Gold goal in the last quart( r, they failed to ilim Co¬ lumbia’s glory. Laydrm’s warriors playing awa from home, tired from a long jour¬ ney, and immensely outweighed, played iJetroit ragged for the first half and tluMi gloriously succumbed. It is almost impossible to name a star for Columbia, since the team played together superbly and turned in a line collective gaim . Detroit papers however, credit Entringer with being the best man on the field. Columbia 0; De Paul 12. The shock of the .season came when De Paul and a muddy field upset the tlope and let Columbia down with the short end of her lir.si conference game. Perhajis it was .tn anii-cliina.x to the Detroit game, but at any rail the Columbia warriors played the worst game of their season, and were unable to score while De Paul made J2 points. Columbia 7; Valparaiso 6. A new turn of fortum? came in the game with Valpar¬ aiso University. Valpo led lor three qiiarlers G-O, but in llu fourtli, when Columbia needed but a little encourageimuit to put over a marker, Layden rushed in fhit ringer whom injuries had kept out since before ih(‘ De Paul game, and under his direction’ Ball cra.shed over shortly aftm for a louchdown. . minute lat( r and “Cuiie ' s” relial)le toe .sent the oval o er the bar lor tlie winning point.

The Pl’o homecomers wen gratified to see a smooth- working Columbia machine overwhelm La Crosse Normal under a Hood of four touch downs.

In his four years of service Entringer has been tl ' e most honored of Co¬ lumbia’s honored team. Last year he was chosen as all- c o n f e r e n c e q u a r ter 1 )a c k, h e was picked as second (juarter- back on Columbia’s all-time eleven, and he was given hon¬ orable mention by Eckersall for his all- estern team. This all-conference team, and was given his all-state eleven. ' Phere is no man team than Captain Entringer, to lose. Ihiiqile and Gold regret more GAILEN THOMAS Captain-elect and Guard Columbia will have a lighting football captain next year in the ])erson of Gailen ' Phomas, veteran guard. “ ' Pommy” has usually been the smallest lineman in every battle tliat he emtered, but his o])ponents will be the lirst to say he was not the least. All Columbia fans know how he has handled the big boys. ' Phe ease with which Columbia’s little guard ha.s handled those that it seems ought to have handled him, is due to s|)eed, aggres¬ siveness and light. ' Phis year ' Phomas made th(‘ second all-state team, a team on which were towering giants, and he was likewise ei c n a ])lace on the second all-conference team. After three years of play, with the added honor of ca])taincy that his mates have conferred ui)on him. he must reach his acme in the coming year. Columbia can ne er have a very weak line with Thomas in I he game. Kiglity-One ( BALL B. WHITE JOHN JOEL BALL, Fullback, 160, Emmetsburg, Iowa Columbia never worried about those few extra yards willi Joe Ball in Iho lino-iii). For three years Joe had been a highly effective fullback, and this year he was better than ever. His season was marred by a short period of inactivity due to an injury to his knee received at Detroit. His absence from the line-up almost undoubtedly kept Columbia from scoring; in the Detroit j?ame. Every Columbia fan experienced a thrill when Joe crashed into the opposition, always sure of a gain, often to emerge from the heap still going. Some teams were totally unable to stop him, and none could keep him from gaining. This year Joe was chosen captain and fullback of the all-conference team, and no man earned his berth more Joe’s graduation is going to leave a hole in the backfield, where the Ians were used to seeing a star performer. BERNARD WHITE, End, 160, Eldora, Iowa “Columbia’s Greatest” The Dorian headlined Bernie White; and so In is in s( v- eral respects. Last year his name aiipeared in the first string line-up of Columbia’s all-time football team, he was an all-conference end, and his picture appeared in the Purgold under almost every sport Heading. This year has been Bernie’s best, and he is once more an all-conference .selection for end. He was a sure man both on offense and defense. His man was usually out of the play, many an end-run met disaster on his flank, and the receiver of a i)unt was not safe with Columbia’s plucky w ' ingman on the gridiron. When Bernie goes this spring, he leav( s a vacancy that will be hard to fill, but he also leaves his name well to the front in the Columbia gridiron stoi’y. Layden Making His Debut at Dubuque Eiv:bly-Two L. WHITE TSCHIRGI LOUIS WHITE, Tackle, 190, Worthington, Iowa You can’t literally call Louie While a stonewall, because no one ever saw a stone¬ wall crawl under an opposing line lo pull down a bewildered halfback, or dive over an opposing line to pounce upon a prospective end-run; but that’s just where Louie ex¬ cels. When Louie started a game, his opponents thought he was a dangerous man, and when Louie hnished a game, the linemen he had played against, and the runners he had stopped, knew he was a dangerous man. But it is necessary to see liOuie in ac¬ tion to appreciate him, and to realize why the name of Louis White appeared in the all-conference line-up, and why Columbia fans wish he were a Freshman and not a Senior. WALTER TSCHIRGI, Halfback, 155, Dubuque, Iowa Walter Tschirgi has one year io go at Columbia, but he has given four years of service on the gridiron, and he will be o n the side-lines next year. “Scubbs” first came to the varsity in his last year of high school, after he had started the season by burning up the field down at the Academy. And has he burnt up Loras Field? Did you see the La Crosse game, did you observe him at the Simpson game, or did you notice him at any game for that matter? When “Scubbs” leaves the team, he takes with him that certainty of a few yards olT-tackle, an iron-clad interference, and a strict dependability on defense. We will have to find the silver lining of the cloud of his departure in the tact that he w ' ill be here next year with a golden store of experience for the help of the team. , Tschirgi Going Through Valpo’s Line l•;inhl y-Three SCHWIND KELLOGG LESS FRED SCHV IND, Guard, 185, Cascade, Iowa Fred Schwind is one of those linemen who have a way of discouraKinK i lunKin? through their section of the line. However, Fred was not content with stopping attacks launched at himself; he had that Columbia habit of breaking through and downing backs away behind the lire of scrimiv.agt . In short, on defense he was mucli like that, immovable body you read about; and on offense, he was no less similar to that noted irresistable force. Fred still has two years of varsity football before him. JOSEPH KELLOGG, End, 157, Janesville, Wisconsin The passing of the last football season leaves us Joe Kellogg with three years to his credit, and just one to go. During his whole grid career “Circus,” for .so his mates have dubbed him, has been one of Columbia’s most desira ble sons. He holds tin reputation of being Columbia’s best receiver of pas.ses, especially of the longt r var¬ iety. If Columbia ever takes extensively to the overhead game, watch K( llogg We certainly will be glad to see him in his old berth again next year. FRANK LESS, Tackle, 170, Cascade, Iowa Frank I.ess has been for two years an o.s.sential part of the stiff line that Colum¬ bia has become noted for in the conference . L( ss has all the (lualifications for a .good tackle. He is neither too big nor loo small, he is fast on his f� M i; In has :i sure tackle; and he is aggressive. Already an important cog in the Purple and (told machine, he has still the better part of his can‘( r befor him in tin two years that ho has yet to play. Columbia’s Line Holds Simpsen Ikthty-I ' oiir NOONAN KEEGAN SCHAEFER DONALD NOONAN, Quarterback, 145, Dubuque, Iowa Alfhoii?;h out for the same i)osition as Captain Entringer. “Jiggs” Noonan was able to earn his second letter in football within two years. “Jiggs ’ is one of those old-time triple threats; he can run. he cm pass, and he certainly can kick. Noonan is iKwt in line for the quarterback position which is being vacated by “Cutie” Entrin- gei. and h(‘ has gi en ample indications that he will fill the berth well. Columbia is fori unate in having an experienced man back for the field general position. LE ROY KEEGAN, Tackle, 161, Richland Center, Wisconsin Ves, K( ' egan was pnrt of that destructive line, the big fellow whom they called “W ' hitie.” who got into so many plays and who tackled like an all-American. “Whitie’ fir. ' t came into varsity football the year before last, and though he has since missed a yeai . you could see from his work that he was not. new ' to the game. He proved himself an old hand at making holes and plugging them. He is another of the good imm that we get back again next year. PHILIP SCHAEFER, Center, 162, Waterloo, Iowa T.ayden found a good center in Phil Schaefer, when prospects for that position were thought to be very gloomy at the start of the season. Not once during the w’hole s(‘ason did i’hil’s work fall below standard. Playing almost a complete schedule on a mmldy field, the bane of centers. Phil handled the ball with remarkably few ' slips. In the Detroit game while his opponent was doing tricks with the ball, Phil w ' as st( ' ady and played a fine game, probably his best of the year. Ball Drives for Five in La Crosse Game Eighty-l ' ive CARBERRY GOEBEL SCHWARZHOFF RUSSELL RICHARD CARBERRY, Halfback, 163, Ames, Iowa Do you remember the flashy half who made the Simpson defense look like sta¬ tues, and who circled Luther’s nnd like liphtninK for that touchdown that afterwaials proved so necessary? Well, that was Dick Carberry. Dick is certainly fast. Wait ’til you see him next year. He promises to be one of the best bets in the conference for long end-runs. ARTHUR GOEBEL, Fullback, 159, New Hampton, Iowa Art Goebel came through fine this year. I.ast season a bad sprain deprivt ' d him of a chance to make a letter. Almost at the outset of this year he was forced to take Dali’s place in the Detroit game, and he acquitted himself well. We know from his work at home that he can plunge and do it right. Art is a Junior and has one year of varsity football to play. AL SCHWARZHOFF, End, 170, Waukon, Iowa WENDELL RUSSELL, Halfback, 167, New Hampton, Iowa Wendell Russell played a regular halfback positon all season, and since he is but a Sophomore he is good to grace the line-up for two more seasons. “Russ,” as he is generally known, is a real fighter. He is a neat and accurate passer, and did most of the hurling for the team this year. He has likewise reeled off yards galore off- tackle. Do you remember him in the Simpson game? You ought to. ♦Deceased. Colundoia Holds Valparaiso Kij-dity-Si.x The Cohimhia. 14 Columbia. 0 Columbia. 0 Columbia. 7 Columbia.27 C ' olumbia...

Entrinner Swimming Through Viator Eighly-Seven The Season While Coach Layden and Captain Kelh� were occupieil with i ridiron activities, Pete Morj an, a snaj)py forward from last year’s team, took chart e r)f the S(|iiad of twenty-six men who turned their attention to basket- hall early in Xovember. ' khis .i roiip included Kopel, Ameche, Moreland, C. O’Connor, Koelker, Ikidensteiner, O. Peters, McKone, Aldrete, Doll, 1 loiiaii, Peters, Schauf, P. O’Connor, M(‘rkel, Cotter, Goldsmith, Diamond, I’utK r, D. Peters, Sotiktip, Kverv. Parry, Xicholson, and Devaney. As soon as the football championship of the conference was safely tucked away, Coach Layden and his warriors moved their cam]) inside. Cai tain Kello -f , White, Russell.

It was no small task for a new coach to i)ick out the best man from this number, but the weedinp; ])rocess was done with remarkable ])recision, and in less than two weeks the scjuad had been reduced to sixteen men. P ecaus(‘ of the sparinjr use of substitutes in the ])revious vear, Layden had but three experienced men to work with, and these were all forwards. Doll, Peters, and Moreland were all in the race for center. However, Dtdl’s ilof)r work was the decidin factor and jj ave him the ed e on the other as- ])iiants. 1 he j uard situation caused Coach Ivayden his jL reatest worries.

(lie last few minutes of jilay in loj g’s tenacity. This was most Viator. Captain Joseph Kellogg.Janesville, Wis. F orward Hack in his I-ligh Scliool days Kellogg began his basketball career at guard. The next year finding the team without a center, “Joe” did his “stuff” in that capacity. Lol in his last year he was a for¬ ward. r.eginning his Varsity record at guard, he has followed the same cycle as in his High School years. In these years Kellogg has gained honorable mention both in the State and the Conference as guard, center and forward. He is an exceptionally good floor man, follows the ball and is in on every play. He has the faculty of always being just where the opponent does not want him. In close play around the basket he seems to be all arms, either batting in a marker or coming out with the ball. Kellogg was unanimously chosen to lead this year’s team. Plis leadershif) was of the highest qual¬ ity. He was the pep-instilling force that kept the “little Ponies” pulling at top speed when their .strength was nearly exhausted. The sustained effort that enabled Columbia’s “Horsemen” to edge out in many of the games was chiefly due to Captain Kel- noted in the games with Luther, De Paul and St. Captain-elect Peter Morgan.Hollandale, Wis. F orward W ith Morgan at the helm we may expect to see a fast and s.nai)py basketball team next year. That he is a natural leader is evinced by his being chosen for class pres¬ ident three successive years. He will have fivn experienced men back of him to help him make it a successful season. Pete began his sea¬ son early when he took charge of the host of candidates while Coach Layden and Captain Kel¬ logg were still busy on the gridiron, and to him much credit is due for the develoi)mGnt of the new material. Morgan was the only eager (hat was running up to form in the early season games. ' J’hs is attested by his strong attack against the powerful defen.se of De Kalb and 1)( Paul. Even Eddie Anderson, who was familiar with Pete’s work, was unable to build a defense that could stop him from making eighteen points, lie is small but fast and clever and is dangerous at all times. He has plenty of fight and it is the kind that is contagious among his teammates. Morgan does everything a forward can do, and does it well. His grit and determination won the respect ol the fans, as well as the captaincy of next year’s team for him. Pasketball fans at Columbia are looking for¬ ward to a good year next .season under Morgan’s h ' adership. Lighly-Xiiu ' Ex-Captain Bernard White.Forward.Eldora, lowa White’s last game was a fitting close to a career of brilliancy that has over as the best forward in tl ' je Western Interstate Conference. Repeatedly be glulec the floor with lightning speed through the dazed opponents’ defense to sinh the ‘ through the basket, llernie was the hero many times, but this was trm the last De Paul game. Playing against his former mentor’s aggregation and with whole team concentrating on him. he showed that he was still the greatest and nio. elusive forward Columbia has ever known. White was the highest scorer in the ference for two seasons, and was recognized on the mythical teams of the state ant conference for three years. He captained the team in his junior year. Bernie’s pres¬ ence on the floor instillpd confidence in the other members of the team, most of which were playing their first year of college basketball. He has earned ten monograms m the four major sports, the hignest number any Columbia athlete ever gained. Edmund Kopel..Forward.Tulsa, Okla. Kopel saw his first basketball game seven years ago in his first year in the Acad¬ emy Department. He took up the sport making the Midget, Class, and Academy teams respectively. His advance continued in college until the final game, when he closed his career playing at his very best. It is seldom that a man is .so consistent in hi progress. He rose to the heights of heroism by his remarkable work in the Luther, the Valparaiso, and the La Crosse games. Against Luther he broke the defense to score the victorious basket just before the gun. Kopel could work well in combination, was cool and heady. .Although small he was a good point getter. On the floor he was clever and quite aggressive. It is needless to say that his place will be hard to fill in all the athletic activities. Lawrence Doll..Center..Apple River, Ill Although handicapped in height, Doll succeeded in out-jumping even the tallest of centers with consistency. He as one of the “finds” of the season. He had earned a monogram in baseball, but was unable to make the basketball squad before. He went out this season with the determination to make good, and his efforts were rewarded. Larry was more effective on defese than most of the men he had to face, his floor work being his biggest asset. He was always in there fighting and consistently breaking up the opponent’s dribblers or intercepting their i)asses. His playing in the Valparaiso game was exceptionally good. T)oll was the only man who was not replaced by a sub¬ stitute in a single game, and he broke into the score column in all but one contest. Ninety John Hogan..Guard.Jesup, Iowa “There he ?:oes“ were the words that invariably sprans? to the lips of the enthused spectators as the diminutive i :uard grabbed the ball off the backboard and began one of the dribbles that won him the title of “the Galloping Pony.” His fast and flashy zig-zag dribbling completely disarmed the opponents. Even the best guards looked clumsy when they tried to stop him. It was a real treat to watch him weave in and out through the defense of teams like St. Viator, Lombard and De Paul. There were times when he was hemmed in on all sides, but by his cunning he would invariably break through. “Buzz” was able to control the ball and scored oftener after his indi¬ vidual dribble than any other player seen on the floor this season. By scoring eleven points in each of the last five games our little guard showed that he was also a basket dobber. He was placed on the all-conference team by a number of sport editors. Edward Brennan.Guard.Waterloo, Iowa Brennan made liis flr.st step toward a Varsity berth when he was selected all¬ tournament guard at Columbia’s first cage tournament, while playing with Our Lady of Victory from Waterloo. Under the direction of Coach Layden, Eddie developed into a very clever little guard and was able to stop his opponents regardless of size. He was especially proficient in the use of a quick feint and a short dribble to secure an open¬ ing for passing or shooting. Because of the lack of size he depended on skill and ex¬ cellent control of the ball rather than speed and power. He received honorable men¬ tion in the conference. Like Hogan he was referred to as the “Pony.” Wendell Russell Guard . New Hampton, Iowa With one year’s class team work as his sole experience in the cage game, Russell turned out to be one of the best performers on this season’s reserve list. Pie gave an admirable account of his ability in the Purple and Gold regalia. “Bill ’ was a good defensive man, getting the ball and shooting it back before the opposing defense was organized,- and he worked well in «)ffensp. His work against Platteville kept them behind the greater part of the game. Ru. sell has a snappy combination of size, speed, and skill and he always reinforced it with plenty of fight. Ninety-One Varsity Basketball Squad Game By Game Columbia 19, Platteville 20 . As usual Columbia opend her season with Plattevillt Miners, but this time with a defeat. The effects of the recent mid-year holidays were noticeable and many easy shots were missed by both teams. The game was charac¬ terized by roughness, according to the new rules. Morgan was the only Columbia man to have his eye on the ba.sket. and scored nearly half the points gathered by his team. The rest were divided between Doll and White. Columbia was leading until the last minute when Goldentannv broke through for two baskets, putting his team in front by one point. Three-Game Trip. On this trip Columbia met three of the biggest and best teams in the Mid West — Lombard, De Paul, ami De Kalb. Coach Layden’s men couldn’t find the basket in these games. The Chicago Tribune says, “Columbia cagemen found much trouble in locating the hole. Their superior floor work took the ball to their basket time and again, but once there they were unable to do anything about it ann had to surrender to the winners.” Morgan was the shining light of all three of these games. Against De Paul he was practically the whole Columbia team, scoring eigh¬ teen of the twenty-five points and carrying the blunt of the offensive on his shoulders. White always worried the opponents, although not displaying his old scoring power. Columbia 26, De Kalb 45. To say the least, De Kalb’s offense simply bewildered the Columbia team as well as their supporters. Doll had been called home and Peters took his place at center. He broke into the scoring column in addition to getting the tip-off most of the time. Guarding was the thorn in Columbia’s side. Coach Layden tried every combination he had. Although failing to find a pair that could stop De Kalb, he did discover that he had some potential guards. The material uncovered in this contest received his attention and by the next game were ready to take up their duties as regulars. Columbia 25, Luther 26. Although defeated in this battle it was a great contest. Layden had an entirely new battle-front — one with an effective offense and a stub¬ born resistance. Five of the seevn men api)earing in the Columbia lineup were merely boys, and ere playing their first year as varsity representatives. Small and unsea¬ soned compared to the Luther machine, they fought hard and took defeat gamely. They led the greater part of th � game, bift Luther took a flight, making a few ringers from long range. T.ayden ' s men launched a brilliant comeback that nearly resulted in Xilief y- ' I’ vo victory. There might have been a different story had White not been injured in the last few minutes of play. Doll at center played one of his best games, while Hogan and Brennan played a great defensive game. Columbia 14, La Crosse 31. La Crosse, with an attack that combined clever pass¬ ing and spurts of good shooting, took the lead from the start. At times Columbia would tighten up and hold, but couldn’t stop the opponents’ startling heaves at long range. Brennan made four points from the foul line, while Doll Mid the best shooting from the floor. O’Connor, playing for White, still out with injuries, also contributed a few markers to Columbia’s side of the score book. TWO G.AME TRIP. .Spectacular basket shooting by Kopel, Doll, and Brennan in the second half enabled Columbia to triumph over Valparaiso by a 31 to 19 score. Columbia’s drive completely wrecked Valparaiso’s defense. Hard fighting and skill marked a well-earned victory. In a nip and tuck battle with St. Viator, the Purple and Gold was bested by a 33 to 23 count. Columbia shov.ed signs of tiring in the last part of the game after put¬ ting up a real combat. Hogan dribbleM through for five field goals, a feat which he repeated four times in the remainder of the season. Kopel also had his eye on the basket, sinking three pretty ones. Columbia 17, Luther 15. Columbia snatched this game out of the fire when, with the count 15 to 13 in Luther’s favor, Doll broke loose to sink the tying marker. In the extra period Kopel dribbled through the Liiiher defense and registered just before the gun. To say that anyone nnm starred on either team would be unfair. The battle and scrap of both teams was so outstanding and thrilling that it brought a continued ap¬ plause from the spectators. Kaily in the season Luther won the same kind of a game by a 25-26 score. Columbia 30, La Crosse 20. This game was a pretty exhibition of basketball, from a defensive as well as offensive stanMpoint. The Columbia men gained the lead with their opening drive, and at the half they were still setting the pace. Captain Kellogg. Doll and Brennan were the defensive crew, with Hogan and Kopel as the scoring ma¬ chine. Kopel made ten points, while Hogan chalked up eleven. Once Hogan broke into the game he was gone. Columbia 22, Lombard 28. Matched in ability, but outpointed in size, the dimin¬ utive Columbia team lead the Lombard quintet for the greater part of the game. But the final lap found Lombard merging ahead Playing against odMs that were appar¬ ently insurmountable, Brninan and Hogan bafiled the attacks of the opponents up to the final minutes. Doll, at center, jumped with Nicholaus who stood head and shoul¬ ders above him, but at that he succeedc(l in getting the tip off a goodly number of times. Columbia 33, De Paul 30. This was one of the most thrilling games that basket¬ ball has ever seen. There was never more than four points difference in the score and it was tied eight times. Eveiy man on the floor was going at top speed. Clever teamwork, a brilliant offense, and close defense featured the playing of both teams. Beinie White was the hero, and must be given much credit for the victory, for it was his driving force and accurate basket shooting that enabled his team to emerge with a three-point lead. Columbia 33, St. Viator 31. Playing a game that was even faster and flashier than the De Paul contest, Columbia closed its season in a blaze of glory. Captain Kellogg with his leadership and steadying qualities kept his mates pulling to the end. Hogan dribbled his way through for five field goals. White, playing his last game, gave the greatest exhibition of his career. He pierced the net seven times, the last one put¬ ting Columbia in the lead just before the gun. Kopel also was as effective as (‘ver in his last game for Columbia. Columbia 34, Wisconsin Miners 28. In a post sea.son game Captain Kellogg and his crew haM an easy time defeating the Miners. The opposition was not as stiff as it had been in the previous tilts and for this reason the game lacked the thrill that had been so much in evidence in the laitei’ part of the season. Xinety-Three Captain Thomas Wiley.. . Edgewood, Iowa III Uie per.son of Tom Wiley, Columbia had the greatest star that ever pcMformed in a West¬ ern Interstate Conference track meet. Invincible in the dashes, a star in running ' low hurdles, an excellent broad jumper and always the most im¬ portant man on the relay team — that was Wiley. For two years Wiley almost single-handed brought home the Conference laurels to his Alma Mater, and in his last year he aKain was hiKh point man besides running in the half-mile relay. Wiley twice captained the track team, and the record he has set will doubtless remain uneciualed at Columbia for years to conn . The season of 11125 ended his collegiate ca¬ reer and C ' olumbia will find it dilhcult to develop another man or number of men to fill his place. In addition to his remarkable ability on the cin- eler path, Wiley was also a star on the gridiron, and those who have been at Columbia for several years will never forget how the fle( t-footed half¬ back would regularly race around end for a touchdown. A star on the gridiron and on the cinder path as well — that was Wiley. Captain-elect Arthur Goebel.New Hampton, Iowa Captain-elect Goebel is new to fame at Columbia. Although matched again such veteran stars as Bartholomew of Valparaiso, who has a record tor the mile better than 4;3( , and Ecklun l of Lombard, whose ability is best realized when we know that he was captain of the Lombard team; and although matched against such men as these in the half- mile run, Goebel finished first with his nearest competitor, Ecklimd of Lombard at least 25 yards behind him. Goebel’s performance was amazing. At the sound of the gun he took the lead and was 15 yards ahead before half of the first lap had been completed and this lead he increased as the race went on. Goebel will furnish a fine nucleus around which to build another team. He also has a gridiron record to his credit and gn‘at things are expected of him in the coming season. Not only is Goebel a good distance runner, but he also has enough speed to win him a place on the relay team. With Goebel and a few more capable assistants Columbia College should again develop an excellent team. XiiM t y- I ' onr Prcvicnis to the Western Interstate Conferenee track meet, which is the most important event in the track sclu-dule at Cokimbia, a crack relay team was sent to tlie Loyola relays at Chicago. Poor track conditions hampered the athletes considerably, but Columbia took second place with L)e Paul carrying oft ' lirst honors. In the meet, however, the tables were turned and Columbia defeated De Paul. About a week later the Conference meet was staged, and after the smoke of battle had cleared away the Columbi.a athletes had won second l)lace in a held of seven contest.ints.

The meet was the third staged by the Conference in as many years and the sport has made notable adv.ances in that i)eriod of time. Each succeeding meet has witnessed the fall of sever.il records and in the last meet foiir new marks were set, three of which were iii the held events and one in the dashes. Columbia’s big l)oiut getter was Cai)tain Wiley, famous for his work in the dashes in the two previous ears as well as the lleetest halfback that a Columbia football team has ever boasted. In the century dash Wiley breasted the tape in 10:2. thereby defeating the fastest men that have ever Ninety-Five The Start of The 880 C( m])( tc(l against him. . .t(ainst liim were matched such stars as Sorenson of Lutlier, who had clii pefl off the century in 9:8 in ])ractice : lyaml) of lyoin- hard, who is undoubtedly the greatest athlete in the history of that institu¬ tion, and Doe of De Paul, who lowered the conference record for the 220- yard dash. In the next event, the 220-ward dash Wdlev finished inches be¬ hind Doe who made the recoial time of 22:4. In the four-forty dash, llussey placed fourth aftcu a brilliant run. and vStirn did likewise in the mile run.

I� artlK)lomew of X ' alparaiso, lacklund of lyoinbard. and Otte of Luther — ail star nerformers in distance events - - opi)osed i tirn in the mile and i)revented him from ])lacinj hij her. In tlie half-mile run Doebel of Columbia won an easy lirst by steppini:’ off the distance in 2:08. Due to the poor condition of the track the time was somewhat ])oorer than it would have been otherwise, but (loebel’s show¬ ing was certainly favoral)le when we consider that lu won easily, even thoui h matched a ains t Ikirthohanew and Kcklund.

On the lirst attempt the Lombard star failed, but upon a second try he succeeded and the spectators accorded him a tremendous ovation, llis leap of twelve feet raised the record previously held by Kevin of La Crosse from 10.5 2 to 12. In the half mile relay the Lombard aggregation again proved superior, but Columbia’s team composed of Wiley, Carberry, White and Hussey was second. Last of all was the broad jump and again the versatile W’iley placed. He was the only Columbia entry to place in this event. Whiteside of Lom¬ bard won lirst with a leap of 20 4 2. The final results were: I,(nnbard . 56 2 Columliia .23 1 Luther . 17 He Paul .15 La Crosse.14 Valjiaraiso .11 St. iator . 2 Letters in track were awarded to Wiley (C), Goebel, Ament, Reider, i tirn and Hussey. Although Columbia did not win the conference championship it was a successful season, for the only team to which it bowed was Lombard, and their team was admittedly superior and well-deserving of the victory which they won. Many Columbia athletes who failed to place among the jioint get¬ ters in 1925 will rec( ive another chance to dis])lav their ability in 1926 — we may mention Carberry, h ' algui, Putz, Dovle, Cross, ' I ' alty and McCloskey. yith tins material the 1926 season should prove equally as successful for Columbia as the ])receding season.

' I ' he follow- ing year this process was repc ated with greater glory to Columhia. In 1924 a depression in the cpiality of material hin¬ dered progress, hut a prosperous season followed these adverse conditions, and as a result Columhia produced in 1925 a hi gh school grid aggregation which fougiit its way into the ranks of the loremost high schocjl teams of these parts and turned to itself the attention of three states. l ut what agency i)roduced these ex¬ cellent teams?

Our prei)S put all their fighting spirit into every match and showed tlVe enthusiastic fans a brand of Class A liigb. school basketball. The team again received an invitation to ])artici])ate in the National Catholic ' fournament which shows that they are being closely watched by those interested in basketball, ' fhe si)ortsmanshi]) of the l lay- ors has been lauded by the schools with whf)m they have ])layed. ' The team’s fine work of the year can surely be attril)uted to the efficient work f)f Coach CTetzmeyer, who spared neither time nor energy in making his team one (0 the best in the state. It seems to have become a habit with Coach Cretz- meyer to turn out good teams. ' fhe ])f osj)ects for next year’s team are very jiromising although some very fine men must be found to take the ])lace of Kave, McCrea, and Klees. Next year’s team will be built around Conforti, W ' atts, and I’ob Kave. Tann and Hebcrlein of this year’s res(‘rves will probably be seen as regulars next year. I ' esides thes ‘ men there is some fine matr’ial among the class teams. ’fhe following is a short summary of the best games plaved during the lb 2S season: Columbia 21, Galena 25. The Academy players could not get into their stride on the strange door and dropjied a hard luck game. The Kaye brothers and KIiikm Con¬ tort i were the outstanding stars of the game. Columbia 24, St. Patrick ' s fCedar Rapids) 17. Led by John Kayo and Bob McCnui the Academy team nosed out St. Patrick’s by a 21 to 17 score in the Academy Cym- nasium. Rob McCrea showed his usual tlashy form and John Kaye played a good ‘de¬ fensive game against St. Patrick’s offensive. Columbia 18, Peosta 7. In the Academy’s first game with Peosta this vear the preps had the best of it in an IS to 7 battle. The reserves were sent in to show their stuff and as the score indicates they did it surely enough. Academy 31, Peosta 20. In a close battle Coach Cretzmeyer’s basketeer’s trimmed Peosta for the second consecutive time. McCrea, Watts, and John Kaye decided the victory in the Academy’s favor. Columbia 23, St. Patrick’s 26. In their return contest with tlu St. Patrick’s aggn - gation at Cedar Rapids. John Kaye and his men suffered a reversal in a close struggle, ’rhe long trip began to tell on them in the second half and the Shamrocks came from behind to win. Columbia 13, Monticello 10. . llhough the Academy displayed some fine form, they were forced to taste defeat at the hands of Coach McAleer’s‘ Monticello bunch. Tin chief reason for our defeat was tlm fine Monticello defense. One Hundred Four Academy Basketball Squad Columbia 18, Immj.culate Conception (Cedar Rapids) 20. In their third 2:ame thiu year “Cretz’s” proteges came off secoiui best in their game with the strong Immaculate (Conception team. The score is indicative of the game which was close and fast through¬ out. ' Fhe Kaye brothers kcp( the I. C. players on their toes throughout the whole game. Columbia 21, Immaculate Conception 19. In the best and closest game of the year, the Columbia dribblers downed the strong Immaculate Conception team. Two extra periods had to be played before Hob Kaye could sink a basket to decide the game. Cocheran and Pago starred for the losers while Conforti, J. Kaye. Watts. Klees, K.

' ix INTRAMURAL One 1 luiKlrttl Day Student Football Team footbiill An important feature of Columbia’s intramural athletic propram was int- series between the resident students and the day students of Loras Hall. A pamo series was arranped to determine the championship and the marked of the day students settled all doubts concerninp the pridiron abilities of mond tants. The outstanding star of the victorious apprepation was Martin “Pop’ V .(iers. whose terrific plunpinp and ability to break up passes spelle’d defeat for th( ' A1 Rensch at end was also a bip cop in the day student machine, and Kelsh at and O’Connor at halfback are several more reasons why the results were in the day students. Their first victory was by a score of 7-0. The only score the second period when Diamond plunged over the goal line for a touchdown. ■ the pressure of three Montana huskies in the boarder line, the furious ouslanP the opposing backs succeeded in piercing their defense and the final score sho no means the superiority of the victors. Boarder supporters were not at all satisfied with the result of the first j jne and the rival teams were scheduled for another battle. Again the boarder was forced to take the short end of a shutout score, 13-0. This game, howevei, played on nearly equal terms, each side making an equal number of first downs. boarders derive niuch con.solation from the fact that neither of the opponen touchdowns came as a result of straight football. The first touchdown yards Rensch picked up Kopel’s punt behind the line of scrimmage and trotted ppted f or a marker, and the second came a few minutes later when Diamond m Every’s pass and easily crossed the goal line before the boarder defense could s • 1 Jjverv, Both teams showed real form and it was a battle from start to showed ])laying halfback for the losers, hurled many neat passes and on one feature some clever footwork in running the pigskin for some thirty yards the s of it being that it was a lateral run. George “Skip” Hardy did excellent woi Mar- educated toe and once he nearly garnered three i)oints for the ' ryu of fifilfi zen, playing in the boarder line, played hard every minute and was still when the final whistle blew. Great interest was manifested by the students of Loras Hall and the rooting rivaled that of a varsity game. ’Phe games were marked by the goo manship shown by the players and the total lack of penalties. One Hundred Eight Passball In keeping ith Columbia’s intensive intramural sports program an addition was made to this year’s activities,—passball, a popular sport about the college, but never before moulded into an interclass league. With the rules prescribed and the schedule arranged, captains were selected by the various classes. The versatile Eddie Kopel was the Seniors’ choice; Willie Rourke cai)tained the Junior team; management of the sophomore squad fell to Jimmy Donohue; an‘d Vincent Sauter led the Frosh. The Senior team, labelled as the safest bet from the start, played true to form and by virtue of good spirit and teamwork they defeated the Juniors twice (7-6 and 12-0), outpointed the Freshmen 12-6, and tied the Sophomore team. By winning the tourney banner the team eompo.sed of Kopel, Marzen, Ferring, D. Peters, V. Peters, Wellner, DeRocher, Every, Whelan, and Diamond, made a noteworthy addition to their long list of extra-classroom achievements. What the Junior class lacked in ability and experience was out-weighed by fight and a disposition to win; handicapped by a shortage of material, they used men who had never participated in this sport, and whose only rule and motive was to win the game. Although ov ercomo by the strong Senior team, the Juniors beat the Sophs 3-0, and the Freshmen 11-6. ’Phe Freshmen sha.-ed the second rung with the Junior squad. The first-year team always provided strong oi)position and show prospects of an in¬ vincible aggregation as they play together longer. The yearlings had perhaps the fastest and cleverest team in the league, and this accounts for their close scores with the Juniors and Seniors, and for the victories (16-13 and 7-0) over the second-year men. From the Sophomore camp can come the just “hard luck story;” their power is reck¬ oned from their scoreless tilt with the champion Seniors, and yet they were unable to gain recognition in the “W” column. The Sophs’ ability can not be judged by their final standing because they failed to get the needed point or two to win their contests. Although new in the intramural si)ort category, passball gave expression to more enthusiasm and spirit than other established activities. Every class—both players and spectators—was out to vyin; hence, the close battles. The class standings, which wen accepted as final when inclement weather forced a cessation of hostilities, are: Won Lost Tied Seniors .3 0 i Juniors . 2 2 n Freshmen .2 2 i) Sophomores .0 3 1 One Hundred Nine Indoor For the fourth consecutive yeiir the present senior class proved a Gordian knot to all competition, and apain captured the indoor leapue pennant. As indoor stars the seniors have an unusual history. In their freshman year they were consistent victors, and the sophomore year was a brilliant continuation of their first-year tactics. Last year the Juniors apain won in the scramble for soft-ball honors. On the home-stretch the same team lay prone all forms and classes of opposition, and can justly be called the four-year champions. The team, which is almost identical with the appregation that garnered victories as freshmen, is an e.xcellent instance of team play aiul pood sportsmanship. Ever alert and enthusiastic, they were out for victory and they obtained their end. Too much credit can not be given lOddie Koi� el, energetic captain and pitcher of the winners, and John Dellocher who was the other end of the effective “give and take” combination. The opposing team never placed a ball out of reach of Kopel’s unfaltering support. The indomitable infield of McPartlaiid, .Marzen, Whalen, and Every, nabbed every bunt, imp- up. or stinging drive v ithout error. Ferring, Wellner, and nohnu were Ty Cobbs in the outer gardens. Although his playing was limited by varsity practice, Rernie White was one of the stJ’ongest men when in the cast ot characters. ' I ' lie Seniors’ fielding was surpas.sed only by the way they ])lied the stick; every nimiiber of the team had the knack of “jdacing the ball.” To the Freshman team, captained by Jim McElliot, fell second place. The year¬ lings presented a strong combination and gav( indications of following the tracks of the pre.s nt Senior cnamps. ' Phe inexperienced Juniors tin(h r the dir( ction of theii in¬ defatigable skipper. Fete Morgan, were always an enigma to the opponents. Evtui though placed in tin cellar by a dearth of victories, Herb Koedker’s Sophomores mner fell for want of pep. A competent committee chose an all-tournaimuil team, and while they do not claim their selection to la infallible, it is offered as a suggestion of the strongest play rs. ’Phe Seniors landed four places with i (� pel. .McPartland, livery, and Marz( n: Jtourke, .Morgan, and Merkel represent he .luniors; for the Frosh. Hogan and Soener S( cureil places and Koelker of the S(� phs took the other berth. ' this touiney was the Pr.st con(( st under the direction of tin int( rosled Father Skahill, newly ai)pointed moderator of interclass athletics. In behalf of the stiKhmt body we wish to expi( ss our gratitude and appn‘cialion for his interest and efforts in tin supei ision of ( olumbia s most siK c sstul intramui ' al program. On llmwli d i Basketball From the tip-off of the first game to the final whistle of the deckling contest the baslvelball tournament was replete witii thrills and interest. The highest praise is due the Day-student team tor their excellent record against a strong field. Capt. ““Cutie” Entringer and his teammates, l iamond, Noonan, Kelsh. Tobin, and O’Connor, suffered but two defeats (one of those without the services of Kelsh). The Sophomore team, captained by Clarence Koob, i)ushed the Day-siu dents to the limit, and required a post- tourney game to decide the league champs. For the Sophs Koob, •Mullan, and Ryan were ever strong on the offense, and Schwarzhoff and Butler were inpenetrable at defense. From early season indications the Freshman “A” team with Devaney (capt.), Bren¬ nan, Cotter, D. O’Connor, and Fiedler, promised to make a clean sweep of competition, but their strength was badly disrupted when Fi edler left school, Devaney suffere l a prolonged illness, and Brennan became Hogan’s galloping partner on the varsity squad. In spite of the setback the Cotter-(3’Connor combination enabled the Frosh to finish a strong third. ' Bhe .funiors and Seniors tied for fourth position. Under the direction of the old reliable “Tim” Howes the Seniors always furnished their share of opposition. “Whitey” Keegan’s Juniors showed plenty of pep and fight and boasted of Greg Peters, lea ding individual scorer. The Freshman “Z” squad, led by Gene Brady, were forced to mould a team from the remnants of the “A” team. Although they did not figure highly in the final standings they made their every game interesting. A supplementary attraction of the tournament was the race for individual scoring honors. Greg Peters, Junior star, led the field with Cotter of the Frosh, and Koob, Sophomore captain, next in line. The leading scorers: FG. FT. ' PP. ITters, G. (.Ir.) ... .31 0 02 Cotter (Fr.

It was marked by enthusiasm and the great number of i)articipants. While the most consider¬ able effect of this tournament i.s the imerest it arou.sed. it has manifested the qual- itie.s of men who have or who likely will be enlisted with the varsity cag( rs. Due llnndi-o(l Eleven Handball . J Handball activities were begun soon after the opening week of school and the iirsL thing .done was the holding of a meeting at which the handball club was oflicially organized and ollicers for that organization chosen. Bernard Schilling easily defeated all other candidates in the race for presidency and James Donohue was likewise almost unanimously chosen for the position of secretary. Under the able guidance of these two men several tournaments were staged throughout the year with a marked degree of success. The members of the club are Schilling (Pres.), Donohue (Sec’y), Blong, Chihak, Weber, Grace, Greteman, Gossman, Schaefer, Schwind, Olinger, Holbach, Fitz¬ patrick, Link and Coogan. There were two tournaments during the year with a goodly crowd of entrants in each. The keenness ot competition accounted for many extremely hard-fought games. The obvious merits of handball as a pleasurable yet quite strenuous physical exercise lure many into the tournaments and had it not been for the circumscribed limits of the court it is evident that a much larger crowd of spectators would have congregated to watch some of the more hotly contested matches. The first tournament, being held in the fall of the year, did not afford such a fine opportunity to those who were just learning the game. Nevertheless many of the en- ti-ants had seen sei vice on the .Academy courts and the competition among the.se was very close. The doubles combinations were usually composed of an experience.d play¬ er and an amateur, thus eonalizing the strength of the various teams so that no oiit combination should have an overwhelming advantage. Consequently the outcome of the doubles was in doubt up to the last match and some of the finest handball of lln� year was exhibited in these fiercely fought matches. Ultimately Link and his partner emei-ged victorious over tlie field, but only after an intense struggle. The outcome of the singles, while more easily pi ' edictable. was not obvious until Link had again easi l thiough all opposition and had conquered Gossman, his most formiclable rival, in oin� of the hardest matches ever seen on the College courts. The second touinament, now ttiat the beginners had become inbie proficient, was much more interesting and hard fought, but the superioi’ talents and experience of Link ])roved too much for all opposition and he again won the singles and tog( ther with Schaefer easily won the doubles. In the singles a great deal of real competition was foi-thcoming from Schaefer who had starred in the doubles event. Others of marked ability were Gossman, Wolfe, Schilling, Weber, Olinger and Greteman. Interest in this fine si)ort is growing steadily and it is evident that its unsurpassed merit as physical exercise is at last being api)reciated. Diif Ihmdifd Twelve Wrestling An attractive innovation to intramural happenin s was provided when several enthusiasts of the c:ame co-operated in staging a wrestling meet. This contest was a mere experiment and from all results it was a success. Eight men vied for honors in the lightweight class. In the first round Kurt won from Weis in an overtime period. Ben Lydon pinned :sioreland, and Friel got big time on MarU Kelly. Because of ear trouble Gizzardo forfeited to Talty. The second stanza found Lydon handling Kurt, and by a halt-minute advantage Talty took a thril¬ ler from Friel. In a big-league exhibition Lydon downed Talty after two minutes and forty seconds of tussling in the finals. Eleven grapplers signed for the 115-pound contest. Landon forfeited to Hayes, Sieverding had Regan on the mat in fifty-eight seconds, and O’Connel beat McEnnay by two minutes. Every made it four minutes and ten seconds over Hastings, Chihak tossed Stirn in seventeen seconds, and Brennan drew bye. In the second frame Hayes forfeited to Sieverding, Every threw O’Connel with only five seconds to go, and be¬ cause of basketball practice Brennan forfeited to Chihak. Chihak fell to Sieverding in the semi-finals, and the bye went to Every. In the finals Sieverding forfeited to Every due to an injury. Nine men made heated competition among the middleweight wrestlers. Pete Fitz- l)atrick, student of Greek athletic ideals, went to the mat after a four minutes’ struggle with Goebel Owen.s did the unexpected when he stayed behind Thomas for three minutes and ten seconds. Jim Fitzpatrick out-timed Coogan, Tobin took Butler, and Wilhelm got bye. In round two Wilhelm, a clever wrestler, surrendered to Jim Fitz¬ patrick after a terrific three minutes squeezing. Owens drew bye, and Goebel escaped ’robin by a forfeit. Fitzpatrick lost a hard match to Owens by a fifteen seconds’ handi- cap, and Tobin byed in the semi-finals. Tobin donned the middleweight wreath by fas¬ tening Owens to the canvas in five minutes and five seconds. In the heavyweight ranks Louie White ignored room-mate love in his match with Haidy. Schwarzhoff threw Bauer, Keegan took a forfeit from Leytem. and Barry han¬ dled Bye. Keegan’s two minutes’ decision over Schwarzhoff and Barrv’s fall to White made an interesting second round. After two minutes and fifteen seconds of grappling White fell for Keegan, making the wirey Keegan King of the Heavies. To Bill Daly, former Mason City high school star, is due no little amount of credit for the conception and realization of the wrestling meet. Daly’s untiring efforts in procuring mats, arranging schedules, and caring for other necessities was an important fjictor in the success ol the touimament. One Hnndi’od Tldrtoon 1 The opening of the four up-lo-diite alleys in the floras Gymnasium marked the be- p inning of a rosy era in bowling. With the added facilities the game increased greatly in popularity and ranked as a leading sport of the intramural program. A league was formed early in the year, which contributed to the upkeep of the alleys. Kddie Kopel acted as president. Clarence Goerdt as secretary and Pete Morgan as treasurer. Two I)reliminary interclass tourneys were rolled. The Sophomores divided honors with the Seniors by winning one of the events. The Annual Clas. ic was doubtless the best ever conducted on the Columbia alleys, both from the standpoint of interest shown, and from the comped it ion in the various events. Eight teams, 72 doubles, and -15 singles comprised the entries. The winning of the championship in the 5 inan event went to the Seniors. The team rolled a grand sum of 2522. breaking tlie record sid by the Seniors of last ye ar. d ' he personnel of the team consists of Pernie White (Ckipt.), Eddie Kopel, Hernard Deeny, “Skip” Hardy, and I. ouie White. The faculty team rolled into second place with a score of 2305, nosing out the strong Sophomore team by one pin. In the two-man event, Deeny and Kopel carried away the laurels and set a new mark of 1102. Pete Morgan hit the i)ins for 5 5 and rolled himself into first place in the singh ' s, but was hard pressed by Hev. Kreimer with 530, and Rev. Coyne with 537. Louie White, a desperate “maple-mauler” on the Senior t( am, pih d up a count ot 225 for a n( w tournanuuit rt coi d in high score. The Senior Champs won a IhrtM -game match from the Cascade team on the home alh s.

Ono flnndrrrl Pnnrlerii Academy Intramural Football Iiilramiiral football in tho Acatleniy for the year 1925 will go down in the history of the school as one in whicli very close coinpidilion was shown. To prove this state¬ ment we can present the record of seven games which ended in a tie. The 115-pound class was divided into three teams — A. H. and C. Division V. coached by Father Dugan, won fiom divisions D. lO-O, and from division C, 21-7, while divisions B and C played to a tie. When it as seen how much superiority division A showed over the other classes, di isions B and C were combined under the name of the Bumble Bees. Their best efforts were enough only to tie division A in the three successive games played. W ' eber was the main cog in the division A machine, but received much help from Graham, Cassidy and Feyen. For the Bumble Bees the chief factors were Donohue, Kies, Hamsmith, and D. Kress. In the 135-pound Boarder-Day-student League, the Midgets won two of the first three games. Then, according to the general tendency of the sea.son, three tie games were played. In these games Kolfenback, quarter for the Midgets, was by far the be.st man on the held, while Coffey jdayed a good brand of football in the line. Kaye in the lint‘ and Dutcher at fullback were the IVenie Weenies’ best bets. On account of the Thanksgiving Day snow storm the sea.son was brought to a clo.se before the champion¬ ship was definitely decided. However, ihe Midgets were awarded the pennant due to their decisive superiority in the first lew gaim s.

MARTIN WHITE BALL HARDY Senior Members of the Dramatic Club )no Ilundrt ' d ' Pwenty-Five With the present scholastic year the Dra (jluh rounds out the fifteenth yeai of its® existence. Its record speaks for itself. Durini; the past fifteen years it has staged with suc¬ cess thirty- ' i if ht difterent plays, averaf,dnK four public i)eVforniances a year. The jilays that have been produced show Catholicity of taste, ran inj; all the way from classic drama to the play ot p ire entertainment. The list includes two Shakespearean dramas, “The Merchant of Venice” and “Twelfth Night”; three elaborate costume plays. “The Sign of the Cross,” “If I Were King.” and “The Maid of France,” all three employing casts of some two hundred students; the medieval morality, “Everyman”; eighteen artistic one-act plays; and a number of modern dramas of light humorous appeal. The Dramatic Club’s first unqualified success of a pretentious nature dates from Washing¬ ton’s Birthday, 1911, when the curtain rose on Wilson Barrett’s Roman drama, “The Sign of the Cross.” The high standard of excellence set by its initial production has been main¬ tained by an unbroken series of high class pro sentations covering a period of fifteen years, a fact which speaks volumes for the vitality of the Dramatic Club. Much of the credit for the success achieved by the Dramatic Club must be given to its Reverend Director, Father Semper, who has been in active charge of every performance during the past fifteen years. The Dramatic rev. i. j. semper Club has labored under the almost unsupeiable handicap of staging plays in which all the roles must of necessity be taken by male performers. Father Semper has over¬ come this handicap by a judicious selection of plays, and, in a number of cases, by actually rewriting the play in order to make it suitable for presentation. To him has also fallen the difficult task of choosing the cast, rehearsing the actors, and planning the mise-en-scene. His motto has ever been “the play’s the thing, and, as a result, the productions of the Dramatic Club have always rectdved favorable mention for the ar¬ tistic teamwork displayed by perfectly balanced casts. In rehearsing a play. Father Semper encourages the members of his cast to give the freest rein to their individual talents, and yet at the same time he demands that they strive for teamwork and that they regard the i)articular drama in which they are appearing as a whole which is greater than the parts. Father Semper has brought to his work a wide knowledge of stagecraft in all its various aspects, a knowledge which he displayed to advantage in a lecture which he deli ' ered under the auspices of flu Dramatic Club and Academy Literary Society on February fifteentli as Columbia College’s contribution to the ceh - bration of National Drama Week. The history of the Dramafic Club is the story of a long line of gift(‘d actors and loyal assistant worker. ' , of notable ent( rprises undertaken and obstacles overcome, of beautiful i)lays staged in an artistic manner, of notable impulses stimulated by contact with the best dramatic litiuatine, of instruction and entertainment furnished to the sudent-body. of a training in ease of manner, grace of b( aiing, and power of expression.

The parts were ably played by three veteran members of the Dramatic Club, all having seen service in other productions. The players were remarkably well suited to their parts, each seeming to tit exactly into his role as though it were a part of his own character. The play was intensely dramatic, leading up to a most unexpected climax, and held the undivided attention of the audience throughout. IJke all good plays with questionable charactiu-s in them, “Finder.s-Keepers,” made the disshonesty of the arrogant and arbitrary Jack Aldrid api)ear repndiensible and contemptible. From the point of its moral lesson alone the production was laudable, not to mention the superb rendition by the above cast. Unieh’cJ ' I’wout yS« von “The Zone Police” By Richard Harding Davis.

The charming play, “Magic,” by Gilbert K. Chesterton, was selected for the feature number of the program and was enthusiastically received by all who witnessed the performance. The program was given under the masterj y direction of Rev. I. J. Semper, president of the Dramatic Club since its foundation. The theme illustrated the power of the supernatural and contained a powerful in¬ dictment of modern scepticism and spiritualism. Edward McPartland, leailing man of the Dramatic Club, in realistic style played the role of the conjun r. The sparkling dialogues and bits of humor added luster to the play, while the superb acting held th(� audience from beginning to end. Anthony Khombmg as the jnaterialistic Dr. Grimthorpe and Arthur Vorwald as Morris Carloon, a sceptical American business man, both acquitted themselves rtonark- ‘ably well. Bernard N. Schilling elicited much praise by his finished acting as the An¬ glican clergyman. Luke Faber as the duke’s secretary, and Roman Schares, the clever actor from Columbia Academy as Patrick Carleon, received much laudation for their distinctive dramatic ability. i (UK Hnndi ' «d Tliirly URG01J q ’-, • TV I “The Game of Chess” By Kenneth Sawyer Goodman ■I ;-j N i •♦.I i I f RHOMBERG MANN AMECHE CAST OF CHARACTERS Alexis Alexandrovitch, a Russian grand duke.Anthony J.

Clement Fox “The Game of Chess,” a one-act thriller by Kenneth Sawyer Goodman, was a fas¬ cinating deviation from the regular run of one act plays. This interesting presentation was originally produced at the Fine Arts Theatre, Chicago, with the famous Shakes¬ pearian star, Walter Hampden, in the leading role. The scene is laid in Russia and the action takes place some time before the World War. A cool, self-confident Russian aristocrat plays a metaphorical game of chess ith a revolutionist who has come to kill him, and by masterly strategy brings about the death of the would-be assassin. Anthony Rhombeig. Columbia’ s superb master of villain roles, played the part of the Russian grand duke. He showed a doxlerous control and genuine dramatic skill in the interpretation of the role. In a striking denouement and with intense effect he turns the tables on his enemy. Dominic F. Ameche, one of the club’s most promising young actors, deftly acted the part of the extreme and violent revolutionist. The play was replete with many tense situations and engaged the audience in keen excitement throughout. Two actors who made their first appenrance in Columbia productions were Wm. J. Mann as Con¬ stantine, an officer, and J. Clement Fox as the adept footman of the grand duke. Both expertly acted their resi)ective pai-is and displayed adroit dramatic ability.

KURT PROCHASKA HADDIGAN One of the most artistic productions of many years and a fitting presentation for the fifteenth anniversary program was the spectacular costume play, “The Little Fath¬ er of the Wilderness, by Austin Strong and Lloyd Osbourne, both authors of many well-known successes on the professional stage. This play, diversified with humor and pathos, was enhanced by its setting of the magnificent court of liOuis XV of France. It required an elaborate investiture in scenic and costume effects. The story deals with Pere Alarlotte, a heroic Jesuit missionary of America, wlio is summoned (o the gorgeous court of France. Totally bewildered by the imposing spectacle of the court and humiliated by the frivolous king and his cour¬ tiers, he is about to leave when the great Chevalier de Frontenac arrives. The king seeing the respect paid to the priest by the renowned explorer, makes tardy amends by creating him an archbishop. Michael J. Haddigan, one of Columbia’s artful players of character roles, gave a striking and realistic interpretation of the Jesuit missionary. He was skilfully aide d by Marvin Pi ' ochaska, one of the clever younger actors, in the part of Frere Gregoire, a Franciscan friar. Arthur Vorvald with true regal dignity played the part of the king to perfection. A debonnaire touch as given the scene by George R. Hardy in the role of the blustering captain of the guard. Michaed J. Martin gave a splendid interpre¬ tation of Chevalier de Fiontenac. Other actors who brought credit upon themselves and the school by remarkable adaptation to their roles were Joel Ball, Bernard White, Gailen Thomas, John Farnan, and William Bauer. One Hundred Thirty-Three Ave Atque Vale THOMAS B. WHITE KER. EULBERG KEN. EULBERG SCHARES McPARTLAND It is with regret that Columbia s es so many accomplished members of the Dra¬ matic Club leaving with the class of 1926. Edward McPartland, leading man of the club, made his final appearance in the role of the conjurer in “Magic.” He is an actor of exceptional ability and his loss will be keenly felt. His work as leading man in “Captain Applejack” and “The Aviator” will ever be remembered by Columbia patrons. He also took leading roles in “The Yellow Jacket,” “The Dress Rehearsal,” “A Night at an Inn,” and “Finders-Keepers.” Arthur Vorwald, one of the club’s most finished actors, took two difficult roles in the anniversary program, playing the part of Morris Caiieon in “Magic,” and King Louis XV in “The Tattle Father of the Wilderness.” He displayed some clever acting as leading character in “J ' he Man of the Hour” and did some excellent work in “Cap¬ tain Applejack,” “A Tabloid,” “The Aviator,” “A Night at an Inn,” and “The Zone Police.” Anthony J. Rhoinberg made his final appearance as Dr. Grimthorpe in “Magic” and as Alex Alexandrovitch in “The Game of Chess.” Roth roles were expertly ])ortrayed. Possibly his best performance was as Ivan Porolsky in “Captain Applejack.” He has also done memorable work in “The bellow Jacket,” “The Dress Rehearsal,” “A Night at an Inn.” “The Aviator,” and “Tim Zone Police.” Michael J. Haddigan made bis last bow as the leading character, that of the Mis¬ sionary Jesuit in “The Tattle Father of the Wilderness.” For his realistic interpretation of the role he received much ]u-aise. He is best noted for his character impersona¬ tions, having playc d humorous rob. ' S in “Action.” “The Aviator.” “Captain Applejack,” and “Roland Goes to College.” and in “’Phe Workhouse Ward.” John E. Byrnes, the most realistic feminine imp( rsonator in the memory of those now at Columbia, finished his care(‘r by i)laying the duke in “Magic.” He i)ortrayed meritorious acting in “The Dress Rcdiearsai,” “f’ai)tain Apphqack.” “The Workhouse Ward.” “The Aviator,” and “Roland (ioes to (’oll( ge.” Micliael J.

I-.yncIi In its eighteen years existence tlie Columbia Colleso Vested Choir and the direc¬ tor, Dr. Alphonsus Dress, have enjoyed an enviable reputation, earning many note¬ worthy compliments, and this year was no exception. AlthoiiRh handicapped last fall by an unusually larj’e number of vacancies. Dr. Dress was greeted with some excell( nl new material. In a short time the Choir was up to the norm established in former years and had bepun a season of sensational success. While the primary purpose of the Choir is the rendition of liturgical chant ami works of the old masters, its services have been fre(iuently requested for other occa¬ sions. The Choir has assisted at various secular and civic activities, including the radio program broadcasted from station WIHJ, Dubuque. It is the annual custom of the Choir to sing at St. Uai)haers Cathedral on Palm Sunday, and this year, as in the I)ast, it did not fail to impress the large congregation present. This year’s concert tour look the Choir to several cities of Illinois and Iowa, includ¬ ing Galena, Freeport, Waterloo and Cedar Rapids, where the Choir added to its far- spread fame. A three-part program, ranging from composi tions of the masters of church music to folk-songs ot various nations was rendered. Their work on this tour won for Dr. Dress and his choristers the highest esteem and praise of the most exacting critics as well as of ordinary lovers of music. The crowning event of the season was the hoim appcuirance of the Choir in the spacious college gymnasium, where it attracted a full house. The i)rogram rendered was the same as th.at i)resented on the concert tour, with the able assistance of Fath¬ ers Flynn, Kearn, and Kelly, former members of tin Choir. That this concert was a success is evidenced in the many laudatory tributes show«‘red upon the Choir and its Director. Too much credit can not lx giv n Rev. M. M. Hoffmann, who exercised in¬ defatigable efforts to make the concerts successful both at home and on the tour. Baccalaureate Sunday was the final appearance of this year’s Choir. An elabor¬ ate program for the thirteen hours’ adoration of tlx Bles.sed Sacrament was a fitting close of a y( ar of great acti iti( s and accomplishments for Dr. Dr( ss and his Vested Choir. 1 � irf clor___ .X.s.

Edward McPartland With a large niimbei of experienced member.s and a ho.st of talented candidates. Mr. Bonifazi and Dr. Dress had organized an unusually strong band shortly after school began. Throughout the scholastic year the band gained for itself an ever in¬ creasing reputation. In every respect the college band is a first-class organization, and would rate with bands of many larger schools. It is fully equipped and only re¬ cently was provided with snappy new uniforms of an attractive color and design. Two rooms of the gymnasium are allotted the band for storage and practice purposes. Ap¬ preciation of the interest shown in the band has been well manifested by the untiring work of the band members and director. One of the important functions of the band is that of furnishing music for the var¬ sity games. It is always present with a wide variation of number to assist in the cheering and programs of the student body. During the football season, by their marching and demonstrations, the band members excited applause on every side. The band programs, especially the popular numbers, were a big attraction at basketball games. In all athletic activitie.s the band aroused both fans and players to a winning disposition. It is no exaggeration to say that the band was largely responsible for many of Columbia’s illustrious victories. Armistice Day the band accompanied the football team to Chicago, and on this occasion its playing attracted the instant appro¬ val and admiration of the large crowd present to witness the annual Columbia-St. Via¬ tor contest on Soldiers’ Field. Athletic contests do not comprise the total activity of the Columbia Band. Many college functions call lor its services. It is customary to give concerts in the cit where they are rewarded with the generous commendations of the press and public of Dubuque.

Rev. Wm. H. Schulte Secretary..Clarence A. Ferring ' Die Classical Club was orpanizcMl about three years apo under the tulelaj e of the Reverend Father Schulte, professor of Ancient Lan,i:ua?:es. The club membership is limited to faculty imunbers and those students of Senior Latin or Second year Greek. Avhich thereby entitles them to membership “ex-olhcio,” however any student of Latin or Greek may become a member upon an application approved by the “ex-otlicio” members. The primary purim.se of the club is for a cultural end — that is. to portray the his¬ tory of the ancient f.eoples of Grpece and Rome, and to enable the classical student to imbibe the many advantae:eous ideas embodied in a study of Roman and Greek litera¬ ture. Durine: the yeai various programs are held dealing: with divers subjects. In the early part of the year, at a meeting called by the president. Father Schulte. Clarence Ferrinc: was elected secretary for the ensuinp: year and the constitution as read was adopted. f)n December I the second meeting? was held and four interesting pai)ers treating of the historical featuia s of Rome were read and discussed. Francis Friel read a paper on Larly History of Rome. ’ He gave the audience a mythological foundation for the traditions and legends of Rome. James Donohue described the Ro¬ man Forum, treating of the location, origin and development of the Forum. Herman Dietz i)ortrayed in detail the topography of Rome under the Empire, including living conditions and especially the economic importance of the Augustinian Reign. Michael : Iai-tin dealt Avith Christian Rome. He dwelt particularly upon the influence of the Church, not only upon the inner life of the Romans, but also upon external culture, such as architecture. The third meeting as held on March I. at which time a novel program was jiresented in the form of a Latin Elocution Contest. Eight men competed and th(� competition afforded was very keen. Clarence Ferring giving “The Crucifixion of a Roman Citizen was awarded first jilace. and Francis Greteman with an extract from “Pro Archia” was gicen second place. All the men did exceptionally well and afforded a very interesting inogram for the audience. Dm ' liimdrcil ' riiirty-Xine Mathematics Club President......Rev. Janies B. Craney Vice-President....Rev. John Theobald Moderator.....Prof. G. W. Keitkamp Secretary...Basil J. Doyle Early in the year the Mathematics Club entered upon the most successful season of its four years’ existence. The enrollment of the club was increased throughout the year by the prompt enlistment of Freshmen as they became eligible for membership. Under the able and enerejetic guidance of Father Theobald and Mr. Heitcamp, interest in the club activities never waned. The schedule of programs for this year explicitly forwarded the purposes of the club. Papers prepared by various members presented in a very attractive manner topics of interest in the study of Mathematics and its closely allied sciences. The pa¬ pers were followed by discussions, in which all members were given an opportunity to express their views. J ' he club’s gigantic slide-rule, measuring twenty feet in length, and one of the largest in the country, was a valuable aid to the speakers in the solu¬ tion of problems and the demonstration of principles. Through the interesting papers and lively discussions constituting thi.s year’s programs the mathematics students have gained a broader knowledge and developed a keen enthusiasm in their subject. That the Mathematics Glub is accomplishing its purpose is evident. The questions and problems presented have aroused many students to research-work and additional study in the issues under rliscussion. The number of men majoring in mathematics increases annually, for which no little credit is due to the activities of the club. The spirit of the Mathematics Club is not entirely restricted to the college students: prom¬ inent business men of Duburiue attend the meetings, and often voice their opinions in discussion, assuring the students of the value of this subject in all lines of business. V ith the object in iew ' of arousing interest and provoking discussion in an attractive field of study, it is safe to say that preparedness, high enthusiasm, active membership, and progress will always be characteristics of the Mathematics Club.

' ‘Tout est bien, qui finit bien.” From an unpretention.s bei inning the latter part of last year Le Cercle Frangais has had a growth . o vivacious as to enable it to assume a place of prominence among the extra-curricular scholastic activities of the college. It has assumed the initiative in having the club work largely under student direction, believing that such an arrange¬ ment makes for a greater interest on the part of the members. Without undue adula¬ tion, all can feel highly gratified at the singular success and varied accomplishments of the club during the present year. Le Cercle Frangais has as its objective the instilling of interest in and an apprec¬ iation of the French language. It hopes not only to accomplish this for the present students of the language, but to revive the interests of those having completed their course. A club of this kind is a necessary adjunct to a completely successful course in modern language for it gives a common meeting ground for the students. Meetings of the club are held bi-monthly and are of an hour’s duration. They are carried out in an informal manner so as to offer a diversion from class routine. Gath¬ erings of the club are opened with the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner” as a prelude followed by the tiery strains and animated words of “The Marseillaise.” Among other things, the members were privileged to hear several original piano selec¬ tions compo.sed and rendered by one of their number. A playlet entitled, “Dejuener il la carte” was cleverly enacted, vocal solos were heard, short declamations given and the ever popular French airs — “Sur le Pont D’Avignon,” “II 6tait une Berg re,” the four-voice ronde “Frt re Jacques” and many others were sung by tbe club members. Le ( uTle Frangais has, without a doubt, become a permanent organization at Columbia. Hundred Forty-One Academy of History Moderator. Uev. F. A. Mullin President... First Vice-President. Thomas G.

The Economics Round Table is the most recent development in scholastic club or. anization at Columbia. ' J ' his club supplants the Academy of Social Economics spon- soM d by the Economics Department last year. It is intended to serve as a seminar lor the study of current economic problems and toi)ics. Member. hip is restricted to advanct ' d students of Economics who have attained commendable scholarship. ' riie oiKanization was formally launched on a ery i)rospective career December I, l!)2r), uiuhM the direction of Father Hoffmann. Since its incei)tion some very instruc- ti ’( ' and animated discussions have b� Mm held. The le islative commission report of the American Federation of Labor on proposed le islation, which they are backing in Congress, was given an airing at the lirst meeting. The enigmatic problems connected with the Lakes-to-the-Coast waterway proposal were likewise fully considered. Other topics which have been discussed are: Farm Relief, Industrial Legislation, School W ' tdfare. and a consideration of the new Immigration . ct which will become effective July !. 1927. Me( tings ol the club are held fortnightly in the Faculty smoking room of I.oras Hall. Questions btd ' ore the meeting are freely discussed by all luesent, and the entin ' procedun is carritul on without undue formality. The Economics Round Table does not aim at a solution ol all the ills in our industrial world. Its prime object is to bring bedore the student of Economics the great problems of the modern world, to aid him in formulating correct iews as to their solution and to interest him in the indus¬ trial phases of American life. This end has been attained and a survey of the year iu. t closing reveals singulai- accomplishments in the Economic Roumr Table organ¬ ization. Dp.. ' !liindr ‘(l l ' (� i ty- ' Diroe I S(ae:e .

OiH IhindiM-d I’nily-lM)ur Academy Glee Club Director. .Rev. Emmet Kelly The Academy Glee riub, at first a mere experiment by Father Kelly, has proved an interesting success. Out ot the large number of candidates the following men were selected for the organization: Basses:— Bauch, W. denies, J. Conlin, R. Deming, L. Fautsch, E. Fend, B. Heller, J. Hoppman, V. Hines, K. Kelm, F. Leonard, L. Reedy, E. Pabst, J. Smitherum, and A. Wilberding. Tenors:—L. Fettig, J. Frantzen, L. Healey, A. Howe, J. Marcero, J. McGuinn, A. Madory, T. Nelson, J. Regan, R. Rowan, J. Schmidt, and G. Schmitz. With the club fully organized and every member active, success was evident. Much time was devoted to (he fundamentals of vocal music, and later great ability was shown in real choral work. In a short time the Glee Club rendered diflicult pieces with the delicate interpretation of artists. The Glee Club made its first public appear¬ ance in the program before the Christmas vacation, and its work brought the members sensational applause. Individual ability found expression in some excellent quartette and solo numbers. A variety of compositions ranging from snappy numbers to har¬ monized folk-songs made up the program. The success of the Glee Club for the first year is outstanding. Unexperienced men have had an opportunity of developing their talents and have shown great progress in the art of choral singing. Glee Club experience will undoubtedly be a noteworthy pre¬ paration for future members of the Vested Choir. It is certain that the enthusiasm of the choristers and the untiring efforts of Father Kelly have (‘Stablished the Glee Club ‘IS the official organ of voice culture in the Academy.

In either case, the store or the school, great resi)onsibility rests ujion the institu¬ tion toward the community and in turn vast consideration is due the institution bv the community, for if one should fail in these responsibilities both must fail and the result will be obvious. This, then, is a co-i)artnership between the institution and the community, and if both function properly there is just reason for one to feel proud of itself and be williiyg to share this pride with the other.

IOWA - -yf vf ' )nc IIinifiiNMl Niin ty-Si I Lest Forget The Proposed Swimming Pool One Hinulrcil Ninoly-Seven The Future of Man Mister Chairman, and Voun Americans. Throughout the history of the world man has Wrestled huge Garpjantuan problems. The enigmas of history are so many and as puzzling as menial relations at a boarcliuK school. Natures have been soured in quest of reen caps, and hours passed rapidly in the chase for Loo Si. But, my fellow-citizens, the question of to-day is, “W ' hither are we drifting, and what is to be the condition of the coming man?” The circum¬ stances that affect the state of man are many, and one of these is food. Food, my friends, food can affect the consumer in many ways. Consider tin fam¬ iliar little oyster. At one time the oyster browsed about, and ate what he could find in Neptune’s backyard, and we had to seat him as we found him. Now we take a Hock of oysters off the trail, fatten them by artificial means, that we may reap artificial prices. Instead of allov.ing him to fatten on acorns and hardy skippers, we attach spurious flesh to his bones by the osmoses and dialysis of this advanced civilization. I do not hesitate to say that the 1940 moflel oyster will carry a flask of vinegar, a sack of Temons, and salt and pepper shakers. Rut, friends, is this healthy oyster fat, or is it a bloat, and what will be its consequences on the consuming man? Now I warn you that the oyster is not the sole food, and food is not the sole condition that affects this great pregnant future of ours. Our race is disturbed not only hy adulterations, political dilemmas, and climatic changes, but even by our methods of recreation, productive of malformations and queer physical specimens. Even as cigarette smoking produces a flabby and endog- eneous condition of the optic nerve, .so also constant listening at the telephone dc - creases the power of the od(i ear. In fact, all social customs detract from man’s intel¬ lectual maneuvers. Athletic exercise.s make for a lop-sided being. Baseball induces crookial fingers, black eyes, bone spavins, and hives Poker is unduly sedentary in nature. Boating is a sure way to malaria. Lawn-tennis can not be played in the house. Football produces stringhalt, ingrowing toenails, and mania. Climax ami Copen¬ hagen induce melancholy, and room-visiting is unduly exciting. ‘‘Pitcher’s arm” and ‘‘Lawn-tennis elbow” aie ailments resultng from present relaxation. So go to the ef¬ fects ‘‘ad infinitum.” My dear friends, the outlook is nauseating. The future American will be lop-sidedness incarnate. He will have an abnormal baseball arm with a lawn-tennis elbow, a powerful football-kicking leg with the su- l)erior toe driven back into the instep. He will hear with an overgrown teleithonic ear, and will see with a glass eye. Now, my very dear American student Iriends, you see with me the outlook of our fr.ture i)Osterity. (His features will be abnormal, or will shrink up from in.activity.) What are we to do? .My dear young friends, we are to change this age of ours. Are we going to develop knock-kn(‘es from a crazy Negro war-dance? In variance with our staunch, active, manly, virile, pioneer forefathers, are we to replace the herbs of the field nnd the beasts from the silvan way, with the now popular menu of cheese for breakfast, “mystery balls” for lunch, and pan-cakes for supper? Fh? I say no. Future American leaders we need a change, we want a variation, and we’ll have a vicissitude. Friends. T could continue on this vital problem until Reason totters on her throne, but time forbids. As a last request I would ask you to heed the counsel of “Billy ” Sunday. Be disciples of “Pussyfoot” Johnson, who with others strive to hold withii th® bounds of human reason and proper advancement this world of oiirs. Follow the warriors who have mad( tlu world safe for the Democrats and Prohibition. Friends, my dear friends. A’ea, my very dear, student, scholarly, fair-mimled. Iowa, AnKuican, Christian friends. 1 ask your (‘o-operation to return this land of ours to the conditions found in excei)tional citi s of to-day. such as Waukon, Iowa; Brighton, Illinois, and Canton, China. W ' hen out in this cold, harfl, bleak, chaotic, hearth ' ss world, ma you beat uppei- most in your mintl the advice which 1 hope 1 hav(� poured forth with a lively sense of communication, and with a full realization ot ev( ry word uttered.
