The story of man’s advance from his first meeting ' with the aborigines expands with a glamor of lannance that invites further communion, and hence offers itself as a fitting subject for an historical background. As progress connotes the general tenor of the age, and as the staft similarly has lah(M ed to suggest that characteristic in this volume, it was thought fitting that this motif he exem- jilified in the theme of the Ihirgold of Progress. FORWORD ' P lias been the eiuleavor of tlie staff in compiling the 1929 J rkr.oi.i) to assemble a volume which will faithfully record the memorable haiipenings of the jiast year at Colnmhia. Hence this result of their efforts is presented with the hope that, when the lleeting years have dimmed the memories of youth and the harriers of life have long separated friends united as brothers within Alma Mater’s cordial halls, iijion re¬ opening these pages many a pleasant memory, many a happy hour long since dulled under the cares of new interests may he reawakened through the associations herein recalled. ' Pnisting that such may he onr reward the task, trying at times, has culminated as it was conceived in a labor of love. DEDICATION I C O our fathers and niotliers, who in their Iniinhle but fruitful lives have been to us an inspiration for both spiritual perfection and earthly achievement, who by their generous spirit of self-sacrifice and toil have made possi¬ ble these years of study, we the class of 1929, as a token of our appreciation and esteem, affectionately dedicate this fifth volume of True Purgold. And it is now our reverent prayer that throughout the years we may look back on this work of our college days with f increased satisfaction, and that we may so live as ever to con- j form to those high ideals which by word and example, have | been so well taught us in our homes. [ I I TO OUR PARENTS Praise l)e to God who in llis Provides for us tliese guides of li lu ' I ' o kee]) us safe from j)aths astray. And lead us on a lieav’invard way, Who teacli us always do the riglit. For they liave come to noble height By holding high their virtues bright. Who taught our childish lips to sav Praise he to God ! IMest he their years! who e’en des])ite ' Pheir many trials, ne’er did slight The work which on their sh.oulders lav But e’er so lived as to convey The hope that we may once incite IVaise to our God. h II.

Page 43 Tlie Seniors Hisfory lilCRE conies a time in the history of every class wlien, graduation day ' looming alarmingly near, it must needs pause for a few moments and recall the outstanding events of its collegiate life. And so we of the class of twenty-nine, preparatory to our exodus from Columbia, look hack and point with a truly justifiable pride to the splendid achievements not only of our individual memliers but of the class as a whole. Strong in numbers and lofty in ambition we invaded Cc)lumbia some four years ago. Initiation made us full-fiedged Columbians, and we passed our first two years in contented and liappy endeavor. Our Junior year found us duly invested with the garb of philosophers and, as members of the Forum, we sat for the first time with the Seniors in convivial repast. Our Junior officers were, Lafiferty, Brennan, Mann, and Oreteman. ' I ' he oflKers of the Senior class are, Lafferty, President; Stemm, hce-Pre. ident; P� rennan, Secre¬ tary; Greteman, aledictorian; and Cassidy. Historian. Collegiate activities of all kinds have found in the class ready su])i)ort and successful participation. Among the officers of the X ' ested Choir, truly the college’s most rejiresentative organization, we find the names of Craney, Con- Ion, Kress, and Cassidy. The efforts of Perion, l nzler, Gavin, and Gossman have contributed much to the success of the liand. ' I ' he abilities of Mann, Fitzpatrick, Greteman, and Feltes have been at the disposal of the Dramatic Club in all its productions. Greteman and Cassidy have collaborated as editors of the College Spokesman, ' fhe duties of editing the Lorian have been borne by Greteman, Feltes, and Kapler. Also it is to the efforts of three men—Kapler, as Editor-in-Chief, Eafferty, as lEisiness Manager, and Conlon, as Advertising Manager—that the class will owe a debt of gratitude for the publication of this year’s Pukoolu. In the forensic contests Greteman has won first honors in German, Ex¬ tempore Speaking, and Oratory; Feltes second in Oratory, k ' rench, and ICx- tempore Speaking; Mann, also has i)laced first in Oratory. Athletically what the class has lacked in numerical representation has been amply offset by ([uality of performance. Brennan, a IV-letter man in basketball and twenty-eight captain, is certainly the outstanding star. His collegiate career as a basketball player has set a standard of such excellence that it will not be ecpialed for some time. iCnnis has likewise been a depend¬ able player, having also received the official “C” in this sport. In football Carberry is a Ill-letter man. He and Brennan were important factors in last fall’s gridiron machine. Carberry and luinis shone brightly as tracksters, the former being captain of this season’s team. 1 ' hus we see that the history of the class is one of many-sided achieve¬ ment, leaning neither too far t(;ward the realm of study, nor yet engulfed in the kingdom of play. It treasures as the most valuable acejuisition of its college course not the considerable fund of information which has been its lot, but rather the alert and accjuisitive mind which is the ])roduct of a successful train¬ ing and which it hopes will lead it to a knowledge of those unfound riches the poet si)eak.s of when he says, “ ' Phere are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in our philosoiihy.” Paue 44 Juniors John T.

Clar¬ ence died, aged twenty years, at his mother’s home in ' Penny.son, Wisconsin, following an illness of several weeks. Mr. Ulbrich came to Columbia Academy from St. Xazianz, Wisconsin, where he had attended high school under the careful direction of the Salva- torian Fathers. He spent his last two years of high school at Columbia Aca¬ demy where he gained the admiration of his fellow associates by virtue of his friendly disposition, and manliness of character. During liis two years at Columbia Academy, he was able, by diligent pursuit of his studies, to com- l)lete three years’ work in two years. Last September Mr. Ulbrich enrolled as one of the Freshman class at Loras Hall. As a student he was diligent, thorough, and conscientious; as a friend he was sincere, loyal, and ever smiling. It was with sincere regret that his friends, the I ' aculty and student body, and especially the members of his class, received word on ' thanksgiving night, that Clarence had responded to the call of his Master. On the morning of Friday, November 30, the community Mass, the communions and prayers of the college and academy men were offered for the repose of liis .soul. Such is a beautiful ])ractice, accorded to one wlio by his exemplary life, merited eternal repo.se, in the sight of his Maker.

Xo longer do we call ourselves Sophomores, ' hut rather Juniors,—the wielders of the mighty i)addle. ’et it is (nir opinion that the achievements of the past year are really worthy and deserving of mention. So we are promi)ted—not in the si)iril of braggadocio —hut in that of giving honor where honor seems to he justly due—, to record in a very greatly abridged form the more notable of the class’s accomplishments. Our first praise is given to the class as a class, livery member of the Sophomore class was known to he able and honorable, liach one contributed to the accjuisition of the wonderful reputation which the class enjoyed through¬ out the year. In mentioning the individual feats we shall begin with the fall months and continue chronologically. The great attraction of autumn at any college is football. At Columbia the gridiron exerted its lure upon a number of So])ho- niores, who landed i)ositions as regulars on the varsity eleven and played throughout the season, an especially hard season, in a .sensational manner. For the football honor roll we submit the well known and highly admired “Gump” Ferring, “Mike” Ryan, “Al” l eary, and “Abie” Coan. When the football season was over the Sophomores, with characteristic versatility, proceeded to place men on the varsity cage team. ' Pime and again we read the headlines “Coan Stars As Columbia Cops,” or “ ‘Gump’ h ' erring Su])erl) As Duhawks Win.” ' Phese two men were our great contribution to the machine that won third honors in the Iowa Conference. We have no fear whatsoever that we might overestimate the value of their services when speak¬ ing of them. At the time of this writing the track .sea.son is as yet before us. ] ut re¬ calling the i)ast records of the class we have no fears, knowing well enough that the class will not he lacking in this line of endeavor. We are confident that the So|)homores will come through in the usual praiseworthy fashion. ' Phe class can boast, however, of its scholars as well as of its athletes. If one would hut glance at the honor roll this fact would he evident. More than a few Sophomores ranked here and we are convinced that these could easily hold their own with the nation’s best. ' Phe various organizations of the school were greatly strengthened by their S(� phomore membership. In such clubs as the Mathematics Club, Fe Cercle h ' rancais, “C” Club, X ' ested Choir, and the Dramatic Club the class was eminently repre.sented. On the staffs ()f the literary organs of the college we again find the names of count¬ less Soi)homores. Wherever Sophomore talent has turned it has been attended by success. I hey were prominent in the intramural activities, including handball, passball, basketball, tennis and the other interclass si)orts. We have presented the facts; we leave it to yon to judge the caliber of the class. Po us the past year represents one of accomplishment and one that inspires to greater deeds. If we liave seemed egoistic we remind you that the (ireat Master warned against placing one ' s light under a bushel, but advised rather that it be allowed to shine forth to the world. In this spirit we have set forth the year’s work. Paifjc 00 Freshmen Carson E. Donnelly Daniel J. Dougherty R jbcrt E. Cooney John Graham IFresjknniaii Class OiOFicers Caksox IC.

JIow far this new body responded to the wholesome influence exerted upon it by its surroundings may he best judged hv a brief review of its achieve¬ ments. ' J ' aken from the viewpoint of time the stage of adjustment calls for ])rimary attention. As for getting ac(iuainted, the spirit of congeniality and friendliness shown by the ui)per classmen effected the union with the student body. 1 ' he attraction of sjiirits suffering like distress produced internal fusion, and from this hazy period of association emerged the Freshman class. h )v warmth of feeling and depth of .solicitude the attentions lavished by the Juniors remain une(iualled. Xo incident was too trivial to be overlooked as an ojiportimity for bettering the poor green I ' reshie, and to the vast ma¬ jority the ordeal was fortunately regarded as an evil easier to be endured than cured. As for the traditional green cap,—well that was merely a symbol, and tbere were enough of them to create a temporarv fashion, and lessen the self- eonseiousness of the individual wearer. As the scholastic side of life assumed more or less of its routine char¬ acter it was onlv natural that the various recreational features offered bv the Page 63 Top Row: Kenline, Schrup.

The class was particularly well represented on the football field, and t)f the large number of those out for this major sport four h ' reshmen received letters; Dougherty, Gehrig, McFarland, and Roi)ele. ' I ' he basketball records also reveal the prowess of the I ' reshinen. Out of the aspirants for honors Schwartz, and M. Brennan received letters, the remainder of the representa¬ tives having a most enviable standing. It inust not be inferred from this that the class was entirely engrossed in athletics to the utter eclipse of the cultural pastimes. In the choir and band have been hreshmen of great talent and ability. In dramatics the class offered a good number of ])roved worth, and as contributors to the publications, es- ])ecially 1 he Lorian. they have played a role of considerable consecpience. As tor the ability dis])layed along lines purely educational it goes with¬ out saying that the class presents as fine an honor roll as is in keeping with a body so promising. As the year draws to a close tbe bb ' eshmen look l)ack with pride and satisfaction at their achievements, in the realization that they are building their career well, and as a parting sentiment would express their deep felt appre¬ ciation of the paternal interest the faculty have taken in their welfare, and would bid ( ' j()ds])eed to the departing class that lias maintained aloft the ideal ot kc)hinibia, embodied in her motto, “Fro Deo et Fatria.” Pavje 04 ATHLETICS ' Pile C( lk‘i;x C ' lVintiasiuni was completed in Contain- inj; ' one of tlie lari;est haskethall courts in the state the structure ranks as one of tiie linest of its kind in the Iowa Conference. ■ 1 4 4 I I f i f f t) i I Tli-e Departmeiii Oeatls (icorfTc Hcitkanip John A. Armstrong Okduc ' .K W. 1Ikitka:mp College Atliletie Di reef or C(� liimbia’s high position in tlic field of col¬ legiate athletics evidences the ability of George W ' . Jleilkanip who has just completed his fourth year as athletic director at Columhia. He has shown an active interest in the Iowa Conference and in the course of the past year has given to Columhia fans some of the best drawn schedules in the history of collegiate athletics. The large number of fans present at l(ical athletic contests is proof of the courtesy and lu)spitality shown to them through the efiforts of Professor Heitkamp. As athletic director, he has always insisted on sportsmanship and fair play on the part of Columhia athletes. The high esteem in which Columbia is held at other institutions is a testi- numial of his success in this respect. The Purple and Gold is firmly entrenched in the world of collegiate activities due to the un¬ ceasing ( rts of George W. Heitkamp. He has built the athletic reputation of Columhia on hard and unyielding principles which will stand as a tribute to his achievements. The future bodes nothing hut continued success for the Kader nf Columbia athletics. Jo MX A. Armstroxg Head J ' arsify Coach For two years Coach Armstrong has di¬ rected the destinies of the Purple and Gold ath¬ letes to heights of honor and respect. “Johnnie” Armstrong has been an active participant in all branches of sport in years gone by. He recog¬ nized the value of athletics in building and de¬ veloping the men of the future. Not only did he recognize the benefits of physical training hut of mental exercise as well. The men instructed under the guidance of the local head coach develop their moral as well as their physical faculties. The athletic teams, as a result, play their game and fight to the end hut they never overstep the hounds of sports¬ manship. Coach Armstrong has shown a zealous inter¬ est in all Columhia activities. The gridiron ele ' -en deveh-ped largely from raw material gave evidences of strengtli and ability. The basket brigade under his uncanny eye reached a high point in the Iowa Conference. Moreover, the nineteen Uventy nine barriers estabhahed several new records under his guidance. Coach Arm¬ strong is a true friend of all who know him and they predict nothing hut continued success for him in the future. Page G7 Feltcs Mann JOSKIMI J.

W ' iM.lAM J. ] IaXX Head Cheer Leader The sjiirit of any college athletic team is in no small part determined by the si)irit and en¬ thusiasm of the students (� n the sidelines: and this in turn is determined by the ability of the cheer leader directing this spirit. If this be true, and we doubt not that it is. then Columbia’s head cheer leader, W ' illiam Mann must certainlv get a con.siderable portion of the credit for the splendid spirit and pep dis¬ played not only by the teams but by the cheering students ns well. Whether it was from the sidelines of the gridiron or of the basketball court the dynamic “Bill,” with his ever novel ideas, was always getting results in expressions of real pep. Under his ad¬ ministration, and with the competent assistance o f “Boots” McKenna and “Sass” McXal- Iv student pep at Columbia was cer¬ tainly at a high tide.’ McNally McKenna Football John T.

Tlie Seasojii “CoIuinl)ia lJuliawks Win Opening ' Football Clash of Season”, announced a headline of a local newspaper on Oc¬ tober seventh, and the 1928 Duhawk rid campaign was on. In three weeks oi drill a badly decimated veteran scjuad had been augmented by rookies from the Freshman class and sha])ed by Coach Armstrong into a battle-worthy machine. While J ' red vSchwind of last year s eleven assisted in tempering the line Coach “Johnnie” ])olished the hacks for action. ' I ' hen to the testing ground on October sixth, and the linislied team stood their trial against the Wisconsin School of Mines, with a victory of 32-0. A triumph for the optimists was this successful opening. ' J ' he tried and proved material for a solid foundation for a team was found by the coaches at first below average quantity. It seems that success in collegiate athletics tends to wax and wane in uniform cyclical fashion. If .so, Columbia’s hopes were at a low ])oint last fall. At the end of the .sea.son of ’27 eight sturdy letter- men had passed from foot ball activity. ' J ' he skeleton of the team of ’28 was sturdv, hut incomplete. ' J ' he Coach was forced to draw heavily on the two l(jwer classes, and as a result nine of Pace 72 FcrriiiiJ: Leary Pacctti those wlio bore the brunt of l)attle dur¬ ing ' tlie season were lower-classmen. Nevertheless the opening game re¬ vealed strength rather than debility. ' J ' he line, anchored by men with past records as Duhawks. turned out to be a resistive wall. ' I ' he ] Iiner game brought to light a dashing ex-Academy star in Paul Gehrig, who made a name for himself in his first appearance in a Duhawk uniform. With his assistance J. Ryan and O’Hrien were able to amass a high score. In Klees and lul Ih en- nan Coach Armstrong found two field generals versed in strategy, while Cap¬ tain 1 teller at his accustomed position allayed much of the worry about the line. ' J ' he next move of the campaign was an invasion; a rather unsuccessful in¬ vasion. In the last (piarter of the game with Simpson College at Indianola the Duhawks suffered their first setback. It was a hectic struggle throughout. Phy¬ sical superiority rather than strategic excellence was held accountable for the 27 points marked up by the Simpson hacks. For three (piarters a crippled Purple and G(dd eleven withstood the incessant pounding of their Iowa Con¬ ference rivals, and then crumpled to an honorable defeat. ' I ' he next skirmish was fully as dogged on the part of the Duhawks, and a good deal more gratifying in its results. Played before a giant crowd of St. Ambro.se College homecomers at Ryan, C. cParIalKl Diniffhcrty Davenport, the game was full of thrills, not the least of which was executed by Frank Klees. Ilis 35 yard dash for a touchdown through a broken field was the consummation of the day’s work. The game ended a 7-7 tie. Incidentally, another ex-Academy star, James Mc- Parland, earned recognition in collegi¬ ate grid circles by his performance that day. 1 he next entry on the record hooks is a well earned victory over kilparaiso I niversity of kili)araiso, Indiana. vScore, 6-0. ( lehrig’s consistent line smashing during that game was lauded by all Dubiujue fans. Ilis and Richard Carberry s blows against the I loosier line brought the lone tally of the game. It was Brennan, however, who gained the scoring position. Another Fresh¬ man l)ack, Ropele, tasted real action in this struggle. The line proved its real stamina at times when the opponents threatened, thanks mainly to b ' erring, vSybeldon, and Heller. From this point forward the record shows reverses only. The first of these was a heartbreaking loss to Parsons College of Fairfield on the Loras grid¬ iron. Costly breaks and many injuries l)unctuated the whole game. It was a battered and limping 1 arsons team which carried the prize off the field. ' Phe work of bVrring and AfcParland on the line was especially notable. An¬ other promising rookie made his debut as one of the dependables, “Dan” Dougherty this time. ' I ' he prize for the Ropclc Sybcldon (lay’s greatest thrill goes again to Frank Klees in recognition of his 75 yard dash towards the iroal with an intercepted pass in his possession. Such a hard battle as that against Parsons would naturally tend to cause an anti-climax; and that it did in fact. And how those Des Moines lads did take advantage of it. The rivals met on IvOras Field the day before Armis¬ tice Day. It was a game of pound, pound, pound against a weakened gold- clad line, and the Des Moines Univer- sitv hacks rammed through for 26 points to Columhia’s 6. But even at that the name of Ferring on the Du- hawk line was respected. Of the sec¬ ondary defense lireithach was the gamest, and the left flank stood up un¬ Coan Brcitbach der the care of A1 Leary. The Duhawks again showed their vigilance in taking advantage of momentarv opportunity, and the dazzling 60 yard dash executed by Coan is the evidence to this fact. This thrilling run resulted in Colum¬ hia’s only touchdown. With the home schedule concluded the Duhawks took to the road again. At LaCrosse the weather wizard treated them miserably. The play against the LaCrosse Teachers College was car¬ ried on ankle deep in mud and water and even snow during the last (juartcr. A blocked punt gave the victory to the tutors by a slender margin. ' Fhe final count was 6-0. Carherry was the star of the day, thanks to his fre(]uent gains. l m:e 75 Brennan ntliri Klees Mnley ' J ' he time for the final act is come, ' riie scene is laid on the Luther Col¬ lege Ki )iin(ls at Decorah; the time, Thanksgiving- Day. ' Phe K ld-cla(l team fights as never before during the whole season. ' I ' he Duhawks threaten, hut there is a counter-hlow for every blow and their sally is thwarted. ' I ' he IvUther hacks flash and a touchdown is scored. A shout rises from the crowds and the second touchdown is counted by a Xorseman warrior and his deceptive spinner i)lay. An extra i)oint is added, and the score stands 1 ,L0 till the end. 1 he Duhawks conclude their cam|)aign with this loss. Such a view as this of the sea¬ son in its entirety reveals failure, ])er- haps, with respect to points gained and lost; hut in the light of its significance towards the future the aspect of futility disappears. I ' or a whole season Coach Armstrong’ « ' uid his assistant bred Schwind exi)ended much energy in teaching, in training, in purposeful building, and the |)roduct of their la¬ bors is not for the present to he lost. Of the large grou]) oi this season s letter- men only Ih ' ennan and Carherry will he lost by graduation. While the loss of this pair is disastrous enough, yet it is l)v far less serious than such mis¬ fortunes of former years when practic¬ al! v entire teams were taken away by graduation. So, with as temi)ting an outlook towards a better future as ever before, the coaches and the fans are an¬ ticipating the season of Page 7G Basketball Brennan Captain Brennan “Kdclie” was one of the main¬ stays on the local quint for four years.

Due, however, to a chan e in the schedule tlie season opened witli some of the strongest teams in the league, including the present champions of the confer¬ ence. ' File (luintet of 1929, under the leadership of Captain Pjrennan, proved to he one of the strongest in vears, and one ot the most .serious contenders for the conference honors. W ' hen Cajitain h ddie led his hasketeers off the Du- hawk floor on March the sixth thev had registered eleven victories with hut live defeats. It is interesting to note that the four conference games lost hy the Purple and (lold were dropped hy a mere mar¬ gin of ten points, ' fhe defeat of I u- ther in th e last conference game ot the season rc ' iised the Columhia live to third ])lace in the Iowa Conference, a point reached hy no other (|uint in Columbia’s history as an Iowa Conference con¬ tender. When Coach Armstrong sent out his first call for hasketeers about thirty- five men resiionded. h ' ive lettermen were included in this numher, Ca])tain P rennan, llogan, hjinis, h ‘rring, and Coan. ' fhe s(piad was soon cut to fa¬ cilitate the practice sessions. At the close of the sea.son fifteen men re¬ mained. ' file Pony brigade opened the season with the strong Iowa State ' feachers (|uint. It was a battle royal between two evenly matched fives. At the close of the regular ])laying time the teams were deadlocked. A new’ record was Twollijr Finley Schwartz established when four furious overliiue l)eriods were necessary to i)rodiice a winner. Cai)tain lh ennan and Hogan shared scoring lionors and also starred on defensive play. ' riiree days later found the Ponies on a hard road trip, opening with Simp¬ son. ' J ' hev easily copi)ed this game for the first victory of the season. On the next evening the strong Des Moines chth lost to the invading Colum- hians hv a single point. The game was bitterly fought and marked by a very strong Columbia defense, with Captain Prennan starring. d ' he o])|)onents of the initial encoun¬ ter were met two days later and again the Duhawks bowed in defeat, by a sin¬ gle rinirer. M. Brennan established his “re])” by sinking several |)retty shots. Revenge was the keynote of the Ihiena dsta encounter. ' The Purple and (lold hooi)Sters were well satisfied when they copped the verdict, but an overtime period was required to settle the issue. In this i)eriod Columbia .scored eleven i)oints. “Emmy Schwartz registered eight j)oints for the evening’s liigh total. d ' he tall and lanky Hoosier basket- eers were next in order. Phe boys from ' alpo fought hard and finally held the edge on tlie Ponies by two points. In this battle Captain Brennan and “Abie Coan i)layed great ball, each garnering a total of nine points. Hogan starred on the defen.se. ' Pile Des : loines U. five came to Dubiujue bent on taking the locals, but after forcing the game into overtime periods lost the battle.

' riie highly touted Platteville Teach¬ ers lurnished the Columhia five with their next victory. Coan and J fogan again held the scoring sjKJtlight, wliile the defense was kept impenetrable by the Messrs. Iv IF ' ennan, and Hogan. 1 he Duhawk subs also saw action en mas.se. 1 he jaunt to Parsons resulted in a big victory for the galloi)ing IV)nies. “Ihnmv” Schwar tz ininctured the hoo]) seven times and added a free throw for good measure. Hogan also had his scoring eye o])en, while on the defense Ca])tain Hrennan, and herring were im¬ passable. Penn had the benefit of tocj many called-ioiils and consecjuently the Ar- miemen lost the encounter by a slight margin. JA ' rring, after playing great hall, was sent to the showers, so Schwartz and Captain Brennan carried on the good work. It is worthy of note that in this contest Captain “ICd- die” scored nine times via the free throw method. Both teams registered twentv-seven times in that same man¬ ner during the contest. La Cros.se put up a better fight at Columhia hut again the stronger team won, by a comfortable margin. ' I ' he ] )ny five functioned as a machine. l irsons out for revenge failed to secure it as the locals defeated them with ])lenty of ])ower to si)are. Coan led the scoring spree and Hogan, at center, i)layed an outstanding game. ' Phe big battle at Tviither looked like a rout for the locals at the half, but they swe])t the Lutherans off their feet in the second ])eriod. Schwartz tied the score with a marvelous shot as the gun harked the end of the game. Hogan and Ca])tain Brennan counted six points in the overtime. The curtain call came when Ca])tain Brennan led the ]V)nies from the Co¬ lumbia court after trimming the Miners in an easy and thrill-less game. ' J ' he entire array of subs saw action. Coan led the scoring with ten points. Pagti 82 Track Russell Wkxijkll ! r. RrssKrj,. Caj taiii Captain “Bill” Russell proved himself to he a versatile man in track as well as in toothall and basketball. He was a great leader and paved the wav to a successful season. He worked and fought hard and this always insured Columbia of .several i)oints. ' I ' he javelin was his stronghold, and he never failed to place in that event for which he now holds the .school record. Krom the javelin he took to the 220 low hurdles and garnered many a point there.

Pace 85 Manson Palacios Hcllcr TW Season Coach John Armstrong issued the call for track candidates on the first of March when about sixty men, most of whom were inexperienced, reported and began taking their daily workouts in preparation for the spring track season. Due to the absence of John Cotter, captain-elect and stellar dash man, the outlook for a good season was rather clouded. However, the willingness and possibilities in the men who were on hand began to brighten everything ex¬ cept the weather. The weather was very disagreeable and remained dark and dismal keeping the track men indoors where they could not enjoy the ad¬ vantages and pleasantries of outdoor workouts. Four veterans fcn-med the nucleus for the team but after Carberry, veteran dash man jnilled a tendon there were but three left. Captain Russell, Heller, and Reichert. ' J ' hese veterans proved them.selves to be very dependable and came through in their resi)ective events in fine style. After several weeks of hard work Coach Armstrong selected the most likely men and gave thein a great amount c)f individual attention. Among the men who showed much promise were: Palacios, and Blakesley in the hurdles, Manson, Cooney, 1 im- mermann, and lirown in the distances, Finley, and IvCary in the pole vault, Doll in the high juni]), Knnis in the broad jump, Schieltz, and Gossman in the weights, Sedlak, White, Lynch, and Regan in the dashes, Pacetti, hlick, and Mulick in the half mile. ' Phe outlook became more promising as the first meet drew near. Columbia met LaCros.se on May fifth, at Dubu(|ue, and beat them by a very narrow margin, the score being rnnro Ennis Leary Doll sixty-five and two-thirds for Columbia, against sixty-five and one third for La- Crosse. ' J ' he meet was very close and interesting and showed how each man’s smallest effort counted toward the final outcome. M ' he day was ideal tor a track meet and put real i)ep in both the i)ar- ticipants and the numerous onlookers. ' Phe result was in doubt until after the broad jump which Jack ICnnis won thereby clinching the meet. LaCrosse won the relay later, but was unable to take the meet even with the aid of these five points. During the day two Colum¬ bia records fell the first of which Pala¬ cios broke in the high hurdles. He stepped over these in 17.4 seconds thus breaking the old record held by Falgui. Russell broke his own record in the javelin by hurling it 166 feet and 7 in¬ ches. Out of the fifteen events Colum¬ bia secured eight firsts against six for LaCrosse, the pole vault being the only event which was tied. The feature of the afternoon was the fancy way in which Manson won both the mile and the two mile, taking both with good leads. LaCrosse started off with a bang, winning all places in the century dash. Columbia then crept steadily forward until the meet was tied at thirty-six all at the vault. Flick ran a nice half mile only to be beaten out at the tape by Hunt of LaCrosse. Doll took first in the high jump by clearing the bar at five feet six inches. Schieltz succeeded in getting first in the di.scus and second in the shot put. All of the Columbia men showed much promise. A week later, on May 12, Colum¬ bia met Luther at Decorah. 1 lere Columbia lost but fought hard and the outcome was in doubt until the verv end. ’Manson ran a great race in the two mile, winning by a yard and a half. Leary’s high jumping was exceptional, 4 Schieltz Blakcslcy Reichert establishing a new record at five feet, ten inches, and Reichert did some very fine pole vaulting. J alacios, Russell, and Schieltz all turned in neat scores during the meet. ' I ' atley was the main¬ stay for Jaither, who.se entire team was well balanced and steady. On May R), the Duhawks jour¬ neyed to the Iowa Conference track meet which was held at Simpson Col¬ lege in Indianola, Iowa. I arsons Col¬ lege won the event by .scoring 32 points. ' J ' his gave a very narrow margin over the other competitors and the contest was a hard fought one throughout. Captain l ussell was the only Columbia man to place, lie obtained third in the javelin, thereby securing two |)oint.s, which started and finished the scoring for the Duhawks. Several conference records fell during the day and the rest were continually endangered. ' J ' he last meet of the .season was held at LaCrosse Xormal, on May 26. It was a triangular event between 1 blither, CaCro.sse, and Columbia. Imther managed to obtain first place, while La- Crosse and Columbia tied for second honors. It was during that afternoon that “Jack” JCnnis took fir.st in the broad juini) and broke Columbia s record in that event. I ussell, Palacios, Leary, Manson, and Schieltz all did well and fought hard in the attempt to bring their team out on top. Although at the first Columbia’s track prf)spects were (juite gloomy CV)ach y rmstrong and his team must be C()ngratulated for the fine showing they made during the sea.son.

Captain Donald Xoonan, the only veteran, was ably assisted by two Freshmen, John Aleyer, and Charles Kieler. In the initial meet with LaCrosse, ATay fifth, Columbia won both the sin¬ gles and doubles. Meyer defeated Schmidt, 6-2, 6-1, while X oonan beat Karl, 6-1, 2-6, 6-4. In the doubles Xoonan and Kieler trounced Karl and Schmidt, 6-1, 8-6. In the second meet. May .seventh, the Purple and (iold downed Luther in both singles and doubles. The follow¬ ing Saturday, May twelfth, in a return meet, at Decorah, they again defeated the X ' orsemen. J ' he outstanding performance of the Duhawks was in the Iowa Conference meet, Alay eighteenth, at vSimi)Son. In the singles Aleyer won over opponents from Western Lhiion. b wa Wesleyan, and Simpson. In the finals for the championship he lost a hard match to Carris of Iowa Wesleyan, 6-3, 6-3. Xocman reached the semi-finals by de¬ feating men from Par.sons, Des Aloines U., and Iowa Wesleyan, to be beaten by Carris, 6-4, 6-2, in the finals. In the doubles Xoonan and Aleyer downed Parsons, and carried the Simp.son match to set point and victorv, but fin- allv succumbed to Tutt and hh-ee, 1-6, 6 - 2 , 8 - 6 .

Act iiowleilgmeiiiis S this fifth volume of Columbia’s yearbook passes to press we are left with a mingled feeling of relief and apprehension. ' J ' he former is prompted by the satisfaction attendant upon the completion of a task long and often laborious, the latter by the uncertainty as to what light our efforts will be received in. ' J ' hough we have aimed to merit the trust im])osed in us, yet we are not unconscious of the fact that the finished product has many shortcomings. How¬ ever, trusting that our readers will realize that after all it is not herein given to attain perfection we feel that some measure of indulgence will he granted us. Nevertheless, for whatever degree of excellence is hereby exemplified the staff does not merit the sole credit. Recognition is due the guidance and advise of h ' ather hh’tzgerald, and Mr. M. S. Ilardie. ICspecially grateful are we to Mr. Earl W. ] eehe, of the Pontiac ICngraving and h ' lectrotype Company, for his valuable suggestions and service.

Appreciation X unavoiclahle circumstance, in connection with tlie i)iil)lication ot an an¬ nual, which is to he regretted is that the hnished product, to the ordinary observer, represents merely the efforts of the editorial staff. On the contrary, the success of any publication de])ends primarily and lundamentall} upon the efficiency of those individuals who manage its finances. Con.sequently whatever advancement one annual may evidence m coni- parison with a former speaks more convincingiv for the increased efficienc} and competence of tho.se who have labored to make possible the added ex])ense. In this respect, under the direction of a capable staff of business man¬ agers, the Columhia publications have been more than ordinarily fortunate din¬ ing the past year. W ' ith J. 1 larold Lafferty, as F)Usi- ness Manager, continually devising novel methods for increasing the available funds, and X’incent B.

Tlie Loriaai L’RTXG the fiftli year of its existence The Lorian again enjoyed a suc¬ cessful season as the official news organ of the College. Its staff of editors and news writers proved fully as capable as those of previous years. During the earlier part of the first semester the staff was piloted hy John Fin¬ ley, who was a most competent editor. By force of circumstances, however, he found it necessary to resign his editorship in the middle of the semester. He was followed by iCdward Fend, who headed the i)uhlication for the remain¬ der of the period. Fend likewise proved efficient in the editor’s chair. As has been customary in former years the staff was reorganized at the he ginning of the second semester, d ' he position of editor-in-chief was assumed hy Raymond J. lilide, with James J. Fynch as assistant. Several new associate editors were added who amply qualified as news writers. Due to combined efforts of the staff mem¬ bers during the course of this period ' fhe Lorian con¬ tinued to uphold the standard of excellence set hy its former chiefs. New columns were added and the old embellished, to make the publication of more general interest to the student body. Constructive criticism was freciuently received, and mention of the paper was made at intervals in the columns of other collegiate newspapers. Rev. !M. M.

Schroeder HE college orchestra was organized during tlie year of 1880, and has since been one of the leading extra-curricular organizations. Music holds a high place in the college and many musicians of talent are numbered among the student body. Those of ability and promise are afforded, by means of the well equipped orchestra an excellent opportunity to acquire the skill and techni(iue essential to group playing. Under the capable direction of Prof. Edward Schroeder the orchestra lacks in no department. The wide and classic repertoire developed provides for variety on the numerous occasions in the auditorium, when it is called upon to entertain, such as the oratorical contest and dramatic productions. The orchestra was always a great source of pleasure to the audience, making en¬ joyable intervals in which tedium might otherwise have obtained. The orchestra, however, did not thus confine its efforts. Concerts were given throughout the city. ' he dei artment of music deserves much credit for its truly fine organization. Miss Ruth Harragan, Prof. Eelix Bonifazzi, and Director Edw. Schroeder actively worked for the success attending this sea¬ son’s orchestra. Prof. Edward J.

J he four voices of the octette—first tenor, second tenor, first bass, and .second has.s—are sung with two men to each section. ' 1 he greater ])art of the Octette’s singing is done in the Koras 1 lall chapel where from time to time it sup])lements the traditional community singing at benediction of the blessed Sacra¬ ment. ’et this does not constitute the Octette’s only contribution to the musical life of the college. On vari¬ ous occasions, notably the Com¬ mencement haiKpiet, it has appeared with offerings somewhat lighter in nature.

' Phe ])lay—a com])ilation and arrangement of lines transplanted literally from the story—was an object lesson for students of the great novelist. ' J ' he play, while undoubtedly excellent, had some defects which were, h(nvever, minimized bv good acting . Page 121 The difficulties that must he overcome in dramatizing- a novel of this kind ])resent a very great obstacle, and successfully completing such a task re- ([uires all the ingenuity that the dramatizer can bring to use. h ' aithtul adher¬ ence to the original made the i)lay in parts somewhat loose, and destroyed, in a measure at least, the beauties of the story. Strip|)ed of his matchless descrip¬ tive i)assages Dickens’ weakness as an observer of human nature was shown in all its nakedness. In the eighth scene it came to the lovely hut unlikely ending typical of Dickens. J he assorted villains went severallv to the jail or to the scaffold. ' The heroes and heroines .settled themselves for an indeterminate period of bliss, which was as invulnerable as Dickens could make it. With these few excep¬ tions, which after all belong at the door of Dickens rather than at that of the dramatizer, the play was very good. ' riie actors were exceptionally well cho.sen. iMtzpatrick, as Sikes, gave a very convincing i)ortrayal of that famous villain; Mann who had what was ])ossil)ly the most difficult role in the ])lay did it full justice, and Kelm as Xancy fully ecpialed his excellent confrch-es. .Ml realized Dickens’ tendency to paint his characters in a single color, and guided their acting according to this ])rinciple. ' J ' omniy Rowan, of the .Academy, in the name part, aroused a great deal of .sympathy for Oliver d ' wist, the shuttle-cock between the forces of g(H)d and evil. The dexterity with which he handled those clumsily construcled lines for which Oliver is notable was especially commendable. Schares. as ' I ' lie . rtful Dodger, and Mullen, as Charley R)ates, gave lively and enjoyable portrayals of these light-fingered gentlemen, and Schaefie, as Xoah Claypole, was all that that timid gentleman should be. Pace 122 Brennan Shares Mullen Fautsch Donnelly Fitzpatrick Rowan Mann Helm Traul), of the Academy, was siicli a presentable Rose that Schroeder s fine Harry was a great deal easier, and Graham, as Mrs. laylie, must have fitted perfectly the audience’s conception of an ideal hctorian mother. lAiutsch and (ireteman, as (irimwig and Brownlow, the somewhat polem¬ ical hut inseparable com])anions, were wholly delightful. Sims, as Giles, and Rocliford, as Brittles, did not fail to “bring down the hou.se” at all four per¬ formances, and l edwin, metamorphosed into a butler, was cleverly handled by Donnelly. Brennan, if he was not the best possible Monks, was certainly an ex¬ cellent villain, and added a great deal to the credibility of the performance. ' riie director. Father 0 1 lagan, de.serves nothing hut the highest praise. From the standpoint of difficulty it is unlikely that any play the Dramatic Club ever staged suri)asses Oliver T ' leist. d ' he involved and unlikely plot, the ' ) haziness of secpience between scenes, and the stiff and unnatural lines all con¬ tributed difticulties which for the average director would have been insuperable. For the man who made a plausible and unified performance in the face of such handicaps no j)raise can he too high. ' Phe choice of the actors showed a great deal of insight into their various capabilities, and the actors chosen had a fines.se that coukl not have been acijuired without the help of a good director. J ' he settings mark the advent of a new .set of curtains to take the place of the regular cyclorama. ' I ' hese make it possible for Columbia to stage its future productions in the impressionistic manner, which after all is the only method by which an amateur dramatic cliih can get pre.sentahle .settings without going beyond the usually narrow restrictions of its pockethook. By means of colored lights and a few well chosen “i)rops“ the settings in this i)lay were given a richness which had never been ecpialed on Columbia’s stage.

Mann (nj 111vS slightly lurid one act play had little to recoiuniend it, other than the excellence of the acting. ' Phe action was stiff, and incoherent. ' Phe ])lot was an obvious initiossihility. Continuity and coninion sense were sacri¬ ficed thronghont the play for the sake of a surprise, which was little more than a ])ainfnl annoyance by reason of the failure on the jiart of the dramatist to arouse even a sneaking sympathy for the villain who developed into a hero. ' Phe jilayers deserve sjiecial commendation for their expert handling of such nngratefnl material. ' Phe ])art of the excessively clever detective was taken by Mann, who managed to make it almost credible. ' Po those who had been accustomed to think of Mann as a portrayer of “heavies” this part came as a revelation ol his versatility. ' Phe ])art, if it was to he at all successful, de¬ manded a suavity ecpial at least to that of Kaymond (iriffith, of cinemato¬ graphic lame. Mann gave all that it demanded and more. Cassidy, as the hntler. who when all was said and done metamorphosed into the sly villain of the piece, gave such strong simulation of innocence that it was diflicnlt for the audience to believe that no mistake had been made when he was finally nnmasked. which for the dramatist was a distinct hlnnder. W ' irka, the remaining memher of the cast, left nothing to he desired in his ])ortrayal of the typical Inspector of Police.

Schmitz play was written around the soinewliat conventional plot ot the yoiiii” ' man who runs away from home, and comes hack rich, hut dis¬ guised, in order to bring about the complete stupefaction of all his friends and relatives. However, what the play lacked in invention was more than balanced by clever handling , and esi)ecially by the exceptional spontaneity of the dialogue. Kehn, in the leading role, proved that his dramatic ability was at least ecjiial to his ability as a writer, which when one considers the merits of the ])lav is very high prai.se indeed. I ' aut.sch. as the stubborn and somewhat illo¬ gical father, furnished his usual (piota of excellent comedy. Hird, the slightly kittenish bachelor lady, and Ihdcklev, the mother, in the two feminine roles, gave very convincing portrayals of the characters they were sup])osed to repre¬ sent. Schmitz, whose alternate hre and subtlety, were no new thing to patrons of Coluinhia’s thesi)ian activities gave a rendition ( f the movie magnate which could not have failed to touch the heart of the most callou.sed memher of the audience. ' I ' he director had the advantage, imicjiie at Columbia, of the personal in¬ terpretive aid of the author .so that from the standpoint of direction the play was exceptionally successlul.

' Phis with a seasoning of humor, that was neither subtle nor fresh, was the play. It is obvious that the credit for its enthusiastic reception must go entirely to the actors, who lavished both time and talent on a plav that hardlv merited atten¬ tion. MeXamara. as “I’ncle (labriel.” might be called the i)rincipal ornament ot the i)erformauce. 1 lis ai)])earance was the signal for a gale of laughter and api)lau.se which was iK t stilled until the dro]) of the curtain.

Mrs.-. ' Phose fellows have their glasses in them!’’ Plea.se do not tefl this around though, as he would not wish people to know that his culinarv knowledge was .so limited. We would likewise advi.se the individual not to indulge in somersaults, as they have a weakening effect upon ones .sen.se ot direction, (up and down). W e had alwavs held Perion u|) as an ideal, but he. also, in the words of Shakespeare turned out to be a foul ball. Ft is rumored that he developed a strange allinity for toilet preparations, while on the choir tour. Latest reports also have it that he has been reading bologna magazines in an effort to become more familiar with the meat business. As soon as “Dick ” Carberrv gets around to read this we want to be out ot town. P)Ut. nevertheless, we must warn said person never again to say that the mind can attend to onlv hve or six things at one time. ” l y all means do not add insult to injury by retorting, “1 don’t see how it can attend to more!’’ WA would like to ask Paul Maguire to s])end a few years in London to facilitate the gathering of local color for his morbid literary efforts. Why London. ' ' Well, he insists that thev were laid in London on a “damp, foggy night.” on lellows will, of course, organize an . lumni branch.

Xow. tor the good of that orgc ' uiization we implore you, on bended knee, not to place ince Conlon on the invitation committee, l ie invites |)eople without the sliglitest provocation.

The student knows definitely wbat he is expected to develop in the relij ion course. It is the aim of the institution to induce each student to acquire, under the guidance of the Church, a friendship with Christ; to conform his life to Christ’s principles; and to demonstrate to others the value of Christ’s plan of life. This thought runs through the entire four years of the Academy. The initial year is utilized in doing what is possible to make the hoy realize the truths which he has treasured in his memory. Advancing to the second year, the word that is stressed is iaterf refatiou. to aid the hoy to appreciate what is symbolized in nature, in the Liturgy and particularly in the Sacraments. The third year aims to answer the ((uestion : “Whom .shall I imitate . The life of Christ forms the content of this year, and imitation of His virtues is urged. The final year is spent in learning to (i ’ ’ y Christian f rineif les to the practical problems confronting the American hoy.

Hiijh school education is not limited to mental development alone. Other actpiisitions must he had hy the hoy who is ready to meet the battles of life. High .school is not the time to accpiire a few isolated points of informati«� n: much less is it a dabbling in a dozen different subjects. In high school habit formati ui calls for serious attention. Thouiihtfulness is the first habit upon which there is insistence—thoughtfulness in the home, of those dependent upon us, of our friends, of Our Lord. (Juiei inifialkr comes next, the type that is steady and alert hut which avoids the vain boastfulness of the worldling. Per- sct ' erancc helps the boy to overcome the tendency to shift to something easier. The hoy must cling to the task in hand. In the fourth habit, self-control, we see an effort to stem the modern trend to self satisfaction, to indulgence. Only that self-control which is motivated by friendship with Christ will enable the . merican hoy to preserve his baptismal pledges. The final habit is the mastery of any present duty. This might he called tlu� roughness. the habit up � n which Theodore Ro sevelt insisted, the habit which alone brings perfection. Joe Wn.Dwnii.NG.

C unmercial, and h ' .cclesias- tical—contained studies which now form part of a high school curriculum. l y 18 1 a six year classical cour.se was offered. In 1902 there emerged the Academic Department, covering a period of three years, Dijilomas were first given in 1905. In 1913 a full f � ur year high school cour.se was established. Cradually and naturally the name ‘‘.Academy” began to he applied. As far hack as 1918 the title “.Academy ajijiears in the SiKjkesman under contest winners and basketball teams. The regulation of standardizing agencies that colleges and high .schools he distinct and .separate in faculties: the api)earance of the Cee .Ay on March 14, 1922; the first distinct Academy football team in 1920, occasioned the tpiite general attachment (� f the name “.Academy to the high .scIkjoI department of Columbia. ' I ' he first separate “.Academy” catalogue appeared in 1923; and in May, 1926, the first Principal of the “.Academy” was ap¬ pointed by .Archbishop Keane. The .Academy is a member of the Xorth Central .Association of Colleges and Secondary .Schorjls and is accredited by tin- Iowa State Hoard if Ivlucation.

Appreciation We seniors of 1929 can never fully appreciate wbal C ' olninbia .Academy has done for ns. We entered St. Joe Hall while yet in onr cliildlmod. Herein we wtTi guided in tbe develop¬ ment of body, mind and son! by a faculty not only eflicient in matters of education, but per¬ sonally interested in every one of ns. In tluir compani«)nsbip. for four short, blissful, years we lived. It was a real borne. Ilere, we toiled, played and prayirl. Slowly but snrel we grew; we ])nt away the things of cbildbood and took up tbe things of manhood. I )ay In day tbe habits of self contr«� l, mastiTy ot any preM. nt dnt , (piiet initiativi-, perseverimce and tbongbt fulness, elTectivel ’ taught, were asNimilated. Xow at last we are ready to go forth to face the world, ye s. to show it what real Cath¬ olic «� nng men an- like. W - hope that onr future may fully compensate for tbe worries and sacrifices involved in teaching us Innc to liir. (L M. ktin Page 158 Senior Class Oiisiory FIRST Vl’iAR: W ' c appeared at Columbia with the not unusual distinction of having been one of the largest classes in her history. Kies and Hanismith immediately drew attention in the minor intramural Grasshopper-Bumhlehee clash, resulting in aspirations to make the . cademy s(|uad. Dan McCauley established his reputation as a reputable jigger; while ‘Russ Lawson made his dehut in the College Minstrels. The hon(� r roll was composed chiefly of Cullen. Kearns. Kerper. Kies. McXally. Peryon, and W’illging. A small beginning, hut we slmwed promise. S1%C()XI) ’1L R: Three rough years to go! Soukup represented us in football, Shee¬ han and McKenna in track. Tornai. McKenna, and Sheehan .showed merit in intramural basket¬ ball. Our Literati, unable longer to suppress themselves, cropped forth with cla.ss papers: the 2. Progress, 2B Buzz, and the 2 Sees. Rough sledding scholastically, only four making the homu roll consistently. Kearns, Kerper. Kolck. (yXeill. Palen. and W illging upheld our liter¬ ary honor by competing successfully fi� r positions on the Cee-Ay staflf. s Sophomores, we shyly hid our light beneath a bushel, lacking boldness to vie with the mighty upper-clas.smeii for honors, scholastic or otherwise. ' J ' HIRD VILAR: The worst behind us! In the newly formed History Club our class was well represented, the work of Collins. Kvans, Kolck, and O’Xeill being notable. Konkoly, McXally and Ziepprecht. in football, and Sheehan and Tornai in basketball, maintained the reputation of the class in .sports. Palen consistently wielded the sceptre over all things hu¬ morous, or supposedly so. Crowley. Ivvans, (Y Xeill. and Xewhouse gave singular performances in the History Club ])lay ‘Secret Service’. In the finals of the Flocutionary Contest were en¬ tered Kermit ludherg and Paul O’Xeill. Tradition received a .setback when the latter was awarded the gold medal in declamation, and John h ' vans, first prize in the essay contest. For the coming year, K � lck and O’Xeill were cho.sen editors in chief of the Cee-Ay, preciously strengthened by the membership of h ' .vans; Sheehan and Hamsmith were voted the captaincy in haskethall and football re.spectively. . nd, lest we forget, new impetus was given to the Choral Cluh that year, composed in the majority by members of our class, including the following of tw«� years standing: Baldus, Crowley. Giegerich, Kerper, Lawson, Leich, Martin, McCauley, -McXally, Sheehan, Tre.xler, and ’an den Dorpe. FOURTH V1L ' R: In our glory! Kies, Soukup. Ziepprecht. Konkoly, Sheehan, Xicholson, McXally, Tornai. Brede, Collins. Hamsmith, and Baldus sported football letters, the latter two receiving all-state mention. (. nd the last shall he first!) Ba.skethall brings l)lea.sant memories of the Loyola Tournament and the best-coached team there, with special l)raise for Sheehan. McKenna, Tornai. Letko, and Quinlan. In track. Baldus, Kerper. O’Xeill, McKenna, Fitzpatrick. Collins, Ziepprecht, Lawson. Martin, Kies, Ca.sey. and Wieland .showed possibilities of making the team. The names of Letko and Baldus were added to the Fourth-Ac. honor roll. This year was notable for the foundation of an Academy Dramatic Cluh. with l%vans i)resident and W ' illging secretary. number of one act plays were prcKluced. including ‘J ' he Pot-Boiler’, acted by Evans, Palen, Kearns. Sheehan, McKenna. W’illging. and Hamsmith: ‘lie’, hy Turnis, Crowley. Peryon and others; ‘W’hen the Clock Strikes’, with Jungels, Mc¬ Xally, Bergener. McKenna and W’illging. Let’s .see—we’ve forgotten something—Oh, yes! The Meadowhrook Murder Ca.se, a thrilling, grue.some. tragedy, with seventeen (17) deaths, written hy Joseph David Belasco Palen. Further plays were produced later in the .season. In the contests Kermit h’.ulherg won the silver medal for his story, and W’illging. first. Palen, second, and X’aughn, third, prize in the essay. ( Ft urth-Acs took the first ten places!) Seniors also took five places out � f six in elocution. (hXans, ludherg, (Ker.), Crowley, Baldus and Shee¬ han.) And so to bed. M. HKIUIKRT W ll.M ' .INC.

PuirgoU Sfaff Here they are, all decked out in their “Sunday .suits trying; tn look as serious as editors of a year-book should. W’c have here represented p:eniuses of every possible type—reporters and salesmen to pen sketch artists, hkich man on the staff has put forth his best efforts in an attempt to make this Academy .section the best yet. W ' e hope that our efforts will meet with your appreciation and approval. However, the staff cannot claim all the credit for makinp; the Pur old the achievement it is. 1 he un.seen hand which guided the staff in its work was h ' ather Striegel ; and it is largely because of his untiring efforts that the Furgold measures tip to, its present standard. The editorial staff is made up chiefly of men who have had journalistic e.xperience in writing for the Cee-Ay. The associate editors, John l%vans, Paul Xewhouse, Herbert W ' illging, Richard Kolck and Paul () Xeill, are all “old timers. ' They devoted their time to the write-ups and arrangements of the various sections of the Purgold. The assistant editors. R. X’aughn, Joe Palen, R. Clarke, G. Saunders, J. Kearns, H. Xash and h.d. ehlage, cf)ntributed articles and proffered valuable suggestions. The entire staff worked beautifully together. Hut surely, this would be an unusual yearbook if it contained no jiictures ; and the Pur¬ gold is chuck-full of i)icture.s—thanks to our Kodak Club and the members of our art staff— Kermit Kulberg, Tom Kies, O. Martin. R. Kolck, J. Fabish, H. Xash. (k ’an den 1 )orpe, J. on.s Star Cameraman,— . Casey, J. Xeilson, and R. Fortman. For amateurs they did themselves proud, what think you? Our wide-awake business staff, PiUechele, Clemen. Fitzpatrick, Flynn, Harnois, Kauf¬ mann, Trexler, Turnis and Tornai—led by the master salesmen.

Cee«Ay Staff Now that the last Cec-Ay for the year has been edited by the present staff, many of whom will graduate, you are doubtless curious about the kind of people that maketh up this group. From the picture, you say, they certainly are a strange crew! And they are, from tall Newhouse to red-haired Dixon, but let us look at the variegated personnel in order. Although he is not represented here, the man behind it all is Father Long, faculty ad¬ viser, who does more than advise—he is the life of the paper. Dick Kolck and Paul O ' Neill are two capable gentlemen and hard workers—Dick yearned to run a column: “But Is It Art?”, and Paul enjoys writing sport shorts, hut their editorship has interfered. Assistant Willging, a serious lad with hig report-card totals, who.se taste is for editorials and neo-serious essays, and Assistant Evans, another bookish fellow who writes reviews and plays and things, help out the editors somewhat. Versed in all athletic arcana. James Kearns gave the Cec-Ay its Sport scoops and Angelo Kerper has recorded many of Columbia ' s encounters on field and floor. Alike Tornai, basketball regular, has ahso done some excellent sport writing from ex¬ perience. Smiling Palen and drawling Newhouse are the fun-makers. Among Bernard Nash, an enterprising writer; expert-typist Fabish; Ed Palen, who .scribbles all sorts of things, even ptx ' try ; musical I%d. Schroeder, akso a lyrist; Ed. Wehlage, a literary gentleman; Gi rdon Saunders, who does special sports write-ups to perfection; and hig George Toner, are the men who will guide the destinies of the Cee-Ay next year. Among the lower classmen, the kodaker Ly Mis, the st(� ry-writer Weimer, and typist Weidenfeller, Rosecrans, and Dixon, show much promise of development. “.All manner of men maketh up the paper.” J. Eva.xs I ' nge 171 By the Students of Columbia Academy DUBUQUE, IOWA, MAY. 1929 CEE-AY HISTORY CLUB Columbia Academy’s history stu¬ dents are aided by this uri?aniza- tion’s happy combination of work and play. It’s aim is to foster stu¬ dent-interest in Catholic American history. A certain phase of Catholic his¬ tory is considered at every meetinjf. Research and thought ku into the preparation of the papers, talks, and debates which are presented by Club members and authorities. Play¬ lets and orchestra presentations Kive zest to the meetings. This trroup of one hundred members spends many, happy evenings in pleasant study. The Museum, erected by Father Kessler, our moderator, will always be a lasting? memorial to American valor and inKenuity. It is of such a nature that it will inspire every student to have greater respect for our motto—“Pro Deo et Patria.” Ed. Wehlajre. CEE-AY MISSION WORK The Mission workers inspired by Fr. Russell have been active the past ei ht months with excellent results. The funds collected from the stu¬ dents are turne l over to the local director who distributes them amonj: home and foreign missions. The maj azine drive was a hime success. The aim of the society is to aid the missionaries and teach our stu¬ dents self sacrifice. Thunks for your past cooperation ! R. J. Vnujfhan ACADEMY BAND Althou);h only four months old, the Academy Band is a lusty infant and is already one of the most pop¬ ular orjranizations in the Academy. To Father Kelly Koes the credit for the initiation of this feature of Columbia life. Prof. Sam Dovi of Renier’s School of Music is en ai ed as director and instructor. Well mi);ht Mr. Dovi be nametl the “Miracle Man” for after four short months of concen¬ trated effort the band has made such phenomenal progress that it will Kive a concert for Dubuque music lovers in the latter part of May. The complete organization con¬ sists of: 3 flutes, 2 piccolos, 3 bari¬ tones, 7 trombones, 7 trumpets, 8 cornets. If) clarinets, 17 B flat cor¬ nets, 2 E flat cornets, 2 oboes, 1 bassoon, 3 basses, 4 French h � rns, 4 altos, 1 soprano saxaphone, 4 alto saxaphones, 1 bass saxaphones, 4 drums, and one tympony. With its varied supply of instru¬ ments, and so talented and devoted an instructor as Mr. Dovi, the band will undoubtedly become a major factor in brinKinjr more Klory to the fair name of Columbia. The Academy students wish to offer a vote of con ratuhition to these two loyal Columbia boosters, Fiither Kelly anil Profe.ssor Dovi. P. Newhouse. LITERARY-DRAMATIC SOCIETY A new academy organization, the “Literary-Dramatic Society” was founded this year by Fr. J. Mc¬ Donald. Eiarly in its career, the members, headed by President Evans and Secretary Willjrin j, found that the jrroup was too small to function in both lines, so throughout the year the club de¬ voted itself to the presentation of short plays for the studenLs and one pro rram for the public in May. These were of � rreat worth and met with success. A clever satire. The Pot Boiler was the first perform¬ ance. A � roup of three plays fol- loweil. In April an “amateur” nijrht, mixing serious effort with fun Kalore was presented. The sea¬ son was fittinjrly concluded with xi final set of one-act plays j iven for the public. This society has a bri cht future. Conpcratulations, Fr. Slc- Donald. , J. Evans. FOREIGN MISSIONS Columbia’s contribution to the foreijrn mi.ssions, is not merely money, or time, or personal sacri¬ fices, or prayer but that which is most precious, manhood. The followintr former Columbians are missionaries in foreijtn lands: F rs. Rupert, Prospical, Eckstein, and Henckle. Leo Steinbach of the College, xind Reginald Markham former Academy student xire now xit Maryknoll in preparation. R. J. Vaut?han. THE KODAK CLUB Completinj? its fourth year of existence, the Kodak Club may com¬ placently Kaze back on another suc¬ cessful season, a season which rec¬ ords its deeds in snaps. The vari¬ ous contests of excellent quality, the assistance rendered to other clubs, its work on the Academy Purk ' old, these things speak volumes for the Academy Kodakers who responded .so whole heartedly to their director, rather Strie el. To the club executives jroes most creilit. In the persons of John Lyons, scoop photojxrrapher ; (J. Van den Dorpe. reliable treasurer ; and Clarence Crowley, president, the or- (xanization was efficiently Kuideil throuprh its crowninjj year. The work of the developers com¬ posed of Neilsen. Lyons. Van den Dorpe. Crowley and Dixon, truly de¬ serves XI place in the professional class. R. Kolck. ACOLYTES ACADEMY GLEE CLUB This organization, now in its second year of existence, under the zealous and efficient direction of Father Kelly, ranks hi h in musical circles. Last year its activities were confined to unison xind two- part sinxrin , but this year its efforts were concentrxiteil on four- voice music. The dejfree of success which it achieved could be judged by the larKe crowd which attended its delixrhtful recital on April 3. Music is one of the noblest and most cultural of all xirts. ' I ' his ex¬ plains why the Academy has iven its whole-hearted support to its musical orKanizations. One imme¬ diate objective of this club is re¬ motely to prepare candidates for the college choir. P. Newhouse. No resident student at Columbia Aexulemy is permitted to graduate without havinxr learned how to serve Mxiss. In the beautiful Academy chapel seven Masses take place at the same time each morning. Dur- injr the course of the year, each senior takes his turn in .servinjr at the mxiin xiltxir while under-class- men are privilejred to serve at the side altxirs. Fr. DuKfran, the moderator, as¬ sisted by Gabriel Vxin den Dorpe and Clarence Crowley arrxln re the schedules and train the prospective servers. The honor of the acolyte’s posi¬ tion is Krexitly stressed xit the Aca¬ demy which is marked by this dis¬ tinction that whereas other schools have a restricted acolytical .society, the privilege here is extended to every student. This explains the absence of a picture of the acidy- tical society. H. WillKinB. Pncrc 172 Cee-Ay Kami Directors. Rev. Kelly and S. Dovi CorneU- Ludescher, Coens, Larkin, Kennelly, Maury.

( ' .K Page 178 Athletics Reverend J. I. Palnode Atlileiics All hail tu the Czar of Academy athletics, the little big man of whom it has often been said, “He is easy t � look over, but not so easy to over¬ look.” The success of the Academy athletic pro¬ gram is due, to a large degree, to Father Patnode’s untiring work along that line. Upon him fell the responsibilities of drawing up the .schedules, official and intramural, caring for the visitors, and attend¬ ing to the countless managerial technicalities which are always present. On his shoulders also rested the problem of organizing intramural sports, and uiuler his learlership. 282 boys played on their class teams in various healthful pastimes. Always the friend of the hoys, he has made himself loved by all who know him. and many a troubled mind has been set at ease within the pre¬ cincts of his room. Fven outside the realm of Columbia, the genius of our athletic direct(� r is recognized, for he has lately been honored with the position of chairman of the hoard of control in The Iowa Catholic High School Association. All together, now, a big one, make it go(xl! Rah, yea. Father Palnode! ! ! Having looked at the author, let us look at his works. The Academy athletic i)rogram. of which he is the sponsor, is indeed expansive. liesides the ollicial schedule we find a most elaborate system of class teams. ' J ' here were this year seven football, twelve haskethall, and fifteen base-ball teams, each with their sei)arale .scherlules. which ccunpeled among themselves, for the coveted school championship in their respective .si)orts. Pesides this there are inter¬ class track meets, tennis, handball, and horseshoe tournaments. The wide and varied group serves to furnish recreation and exercise for the entire student hcKly, and this year 07% of the v325 students availed themselves of the opportunity to ally themselves with some branch of sports. The.se games are not merely played for the purpose of fun, and the object is in)t merely j to win. hut through this medium character and self-control are effectively cultivated, and the i student is taught that it is not whether he wins or loses that counts, hut how he plays the game. ' Stimulated by this healthful recreation the honor roll is steadily growing, and so growing that , at midyear the number of names on the roster was one third more than the honor roll bore at I the same period last year. ; A word of appreciation of � )ur coaching staff would not he out c� f place here. Its per- .sonnel consists of Professor Cretzmeyer. of whom you will hear more later, and Father Coyne. Fr. Coyne’s si)lendid work as .Assistant Coach was highly instrumental in producing the winning teams of which Columbia boasts. He is the un-sung hero of the athletic department. Columbia .Academy also wishes to express gratitud to Fathe r Long and “Scoop” Wilhelm for the hearty cooperation which they gave the teams through their publicity and write-ups. “Scoop” showed an intere st in the .Academy which was highly appreciale d by us all, and Father I.ong—well, you know him.

Cee ' -Ay Oiulbs Captain-Elect Toner Captain Hamsmith Captain-Elect Barkley Page ISl Tlie S easoii GUIiS HKAT GALKXA Kriclay, October 5, Galena, Illinois—The Columbia Gubs won their first game here today when they defeated Galena High by the score of 36 to 6. GUBS SIXK SAVAXXA DuhiKiue. Iowa, October 13. Playing a fast brand «)f hall the Columbia Gubs administered a VJ to 0 defeat to Savanna High School here this afternoon. The game was the Academy’s from the start and the surprising thing is that the score was not larger. The first score came in the first (piarter. No other scoring was done in this half and it ended 6 to 0, favor of Columbia. The next quarter saw two counters pushed over, bringing the score up to 10 to 9. Savanna stiffened their de¬ fense and no further scoring was made. The game came to a close with a thrilling run by Mike Tornai of the (luhs which almost resulted in another touchdown. WAYLAXH HOLDS GUBS TO TIE Wayland Academy, October 27. Playing a homecom¬ ing game here with Columbia Academy today W ' ayland was able to avert defeat bv a long pass in the last minute of play, tying the score, 7 to 7. Starting out with a hang the Gubs chalked up seven points early in the first (|uarler after a sixty yard march down the field. The touchdown came when Barkley caught a short pass and hopped over the line. Frimi then on the game was hard, fast and clean with no scor¬ ing done by either side till a few minutes before the end of the last half when Wayland com¬ pleted a long desperate pass and later made the extra point. This tied the score and the game ended soon afterwards. CAMPIOX CRUMBLES Gl ' BS Prairie du Chieii, Xovemher 3. Playing before a homecoming crowd here this afternoon the Columbia Gubs got one in the solar plexus to the tune of 31 to 0. The first half was even with the (lubs doing their best against a heavy line and it ended with the ball nine yards from Campion’s goal in possession of Columbia. In the second half two blocked punts deep in their own territory were disastrous for the Junior Purple and Golders. Two Cardinal touchdowns resulted and superior weight beginning to tell, the Cam- pionites took magnificent advantage of their opportunities and pushed over enough yardage to pile up 31 points for their first victory over C(� lumbia in six years. It was a great game and an honorable defeat at the hands of a superior team. GUBS TIE WITH SACRED HEART Sacred Heart, Fort Dodge, Xovemher 10. In an important tilt for the Iowa Catholic Prep title here today Sacred Heart High was able to tie the score with the Gubs in the last quarter and considerably tie up the race for the championship. The final score was 6 and 6. The Gubs scored first on a pass to Barkley but failed to make the extra p(� int. Both teams fought hard the rest of the game but no progress was made till in the final i|uarter Sacred Heart scored via the same route as the Gubs had and they also failed to make the extra point. Soon afterward the whistle blew and another tie game was recorded. GUBS ARE DEFEATED BV DES MOIXES Dubuque. Iowa, Xovember 17. The Gubs met their second defeat of the season today at the hands of Des Moines High in a very slow game played under the nn� st difficult conditions possible with the cold, rain, and heavy mud driing their best to thwart the attempts of either team to .score. The final score was 6 to 0. The Gubs fought valiantly under these conditions as did the visitors and the game re¬ solved itself into a jiunting duel which finally resulted in a bad punt on the part of Columbia which the visitors (juickly turned into a touchdown and victory.

The Gubs scored early in the game when Barkley broke through and ran the length ot the field but very unfr� rtunately the extra point did imt succeed. .After this the teams .settled down and no further scoring was done, though the (lubs made several bad fumbles and were slow on the punts. But in the last cpiarter one of these slow punts was blocked 15 yards from otir goal and St. Anibro.se scored on it. Then amid the shrieks of the Columbia rooters they made the extra point and so the game closed, 7 to 6. R.

LL 1928 Intramural Football uncovered .some promising material for the Cubs. From 175 candidates, seven teams, of all weights, swung into action. The Warriors, Dodgers, and Russellers ; the Midgets and Teenie Weenies; and the Midgie Midgets and Teenie Teenie Weenies, composed the lineup of the three leagues. Fathers Thecibald and Skahill officiated at the games. WARRIORS The Day Student IxKly regained possession of the Aca¬ demy Intramural Football Champif)nship during the past season when the W ' arriors, under the efficient and untiring tutelage f)f Father Striegel, passed their way to victory. James Kearns Lawrence Baldus and John Leo were the submentors. With an impregnable line and a triple threat back field those pig-skin toters displayed the spirit of the “Happy Warrior.” They smashed the line; they skirted the ends; they thrilled the crowd with their passes. Their 6 to 0 triumph over the scrappy Russellers came after the last bark of the gun on Thanksgivivng Day. “Warrior” monograms were awarded to: Capt. Pitzeii, Bertsch, Trow, Quinlan, Larkin, Kearney, IcI nany, Peryon, W’ernimont, Kaufmann, hdlwanger, Trexler, Moran, G. Saunders, H. Kies and A. Kerper. T H E T E ES IE-W ' E EX IES The Minor League Football Championship for 1928 was taken by Father O’Toole’s Boarder aggregatitm, the “Teenie-Weeiiies.” Assisting Father O’Toole in the coaching of the lightweight champs were Stephen Krmkoly and George Barkley. In their struggle for victory the Teenie-W’eeiiies encountered stiff opposition, but their fighting spirit was too much for tlieir opp jnents. A group of flashy “backs,” working behind a number of consistently playing linemen, cf)uld not be denied victory, and so the Teenie-Weeiiies assumed the title after defeating the Midgets, fourteen to six, in their last game. The men who were awarded letters are: Capt. Fabish, Shanahan. Graber, W ' . Kress, R. Marr, Doherty, R. Barkley, Farrell, B. Moran, R. Lawson. ' olz, Donovan, Miller and Meiers. T H E T EEXI E-W Eh:x I IvWI h:X IILS The second championship of the 1928 Intramural League taken by the boarders, was won by the “Teenie-Teenie-Weenies” of the Flyweight division. These minims, besides com¬ peting for their sectional championship, also served as a reserve force for the “Teenie-W’eenies.” They were coached by Father O’Toole. Stephen Konkoly, and George Barkley. The Teeiiie-Teenies early in the season did not show much promise, but they gradually built up skill and fight. The clo.se of the sea.son found them tied for the championship. In the play-off they fought their way to a 7 to 0 victory which earned for them the championship. The lettermen of the Flyweight .squad are: Capt. A. Kelley, O’Leary, Mueller (a real end) Dixon, Hinckley. Stubstad, Gabelt, Lacke, Mullaly, O’Connor. Tunnison, W’iedenfeller, Raker. OTHER M0X0(;RAM WIXXERS: Rus.sellers: Capt.

St. Thoinas of Rockft)rd next felt the sting of the Gnhs’ ofTeii- .sive in an 18-13 defeat on their home court. Featuring Sheehan and (Jninlan the locals galloped to a 22-9 win over Monticello � n the home hardwood. The next encounter brought our first .setback when St. Ambrose nosed out an 8-f) decision at Davenport. A{ this juncture, Donaldson dropped out of school and left what appeared to he an unfillahle gap in the ranks of the (iiihs. Mowever Don McKenna stepped into the breach and performed .so coinmeiidahly that he soon proved the find of the year. (Jnce more on home ground the Gubs reeled off four consecutive wins. Tornai and (Jninlan led in a 21-14 Captain Sheehan win from St. Thomas. Barkley’s 19 points aided materially in handing St. Wenceslaus a neat 31-8 trimming. Captain Sheehan and McKenna featured in the Flatteville game which went to the ( ' iiihs credit 19-8. A fa.st (|uintet from Maquoketa Junior College forced the locals into an overtime period hut the Ciuhs came through for a 15-13 decisitiii. Barkley and Capt. Shee¬ han scintillated. The half-way mark on the schedule found St. Amhro.se repeating, this time with a 12-11 score. The Ciuhs’ shots just wouldn ' t drop. On a two game trip the locals dropped a return engagement at Iowa City, 23-18: Bark¬ ley and Mike Tornai were the main point getters. The next night, Capt. Sheehan and Barkley v( the way in a 17-12 victory over St. W’eiiceslaus. The C.uhs, with Sheehan and Quinlan shining, accompli.shed a most .successful debut at Freeport by doubling Ac(|uin High, 26-13. McKenna with a 13 point total, was outstanding in the second victory over Monticello, 30-10. Oil the last road game, Macpioketa was too strong and copped. 27-18. Acquin came hack for more and got it, 29-4. McKenna. Sheehan and Iwtko .scored heavily. By virtue of this successful close, the (nibs rolled up eleven victories against four losses for the regular season. Indeed an enviable record. The Gubs next copped the Di� � cesan Tournament. At the Lovola Tournament, the Gubs fir.st triumphed over the Holy Rosarv High of Syracu.se. 17-14.

Becau.se of a well-placed .shot by their opponents, and the final gun showing them one point behind, the (lubs tournament hopes were destroyed, hut hand.some ctmpen.sation was offered by the presentation of the loving-cup to the hest-coached team at the tournament.

Be¬ ginners and veterans collided and cooperated among the 52 basket hall tossers of this circuit. The “cream of this crop” for the major mythical five included three seniors and two juniors. Forwards were Pitzeii, 3 B’s leading scorer and Tom Kies, heady 4P) floorman. First class guard material paired “Sport” Lawson, a mighty diminutive, with Hamsniith. a reputed “follf w up” man. Turnis. an elongated center, completed this uncfni(|uerahle (luinlet. MINOR LFAGUK In a sca.son replete with defensive struggles, 21) emerged victorious from among 58 basket-tossers. Three of the seven teams of this league finished in a tie. from which 21) emerged as champs. Lanigan of 21) utilized his length to gain all-star center and high point positions. Hard playing Conner and elusive Hitchcock used gunman tactics to shoot their way to forward posts. “Dick” Barkley, the prettiest handler of a basketball in the school, combined with Dea, a reliable running guard, to conclude the snappy junior all-stars.

The ah.sense of McGuinn, Barkley, and McKenna was keenly felt leaving the team seriously handicapped. Gehrig. Kolfenhach. and Baldus were the high point men, aided by Holhack, Captain Runde. Schwartz. McFarland. Sandke, and Kress. Two conference records were hr(� ken in the Campit n-St. Amhro.se-Cohimhia meet by (lehrig and Baldus. Schwartz tied for first in the poll vault. The meet was won by Champion, with Columbia a close .second. Captain Runde. leading his team mates to victory at Galena, sh attered the 440 record, with Sandke. Kress. Gehrig, and Kolfenhach winning other firsts. This victory .served to ])lace cem- fidence in the team and accounts for the favorable showing that was made in the invitation meet. The most important track event of the .season, the Mississippi X’alley Meet, netted the Columbians .second ])lace with a total of 48J points despite the stiff competition. Baldus and Kolfenhach won in the javelin and 880 yard run respectively, while the half mile relay team compo.sed of Runde, Baldus, Sandke. and Kolfenhach cros.sed the tape a victor.

In 1904 a younp: man was p:raduated from hii� h school in Waverly, Iowa; the following; Sep¬ tember found him matriculatini at Columbia Col¬ lege. Duhiuiue, then St. Jose])h College. ' Ibis young gentleman was our own John W . Cret .meyer. an excellent student, a star in dramatics, a crack ath¬ lete—such is his history as a student. In 1909 he began his career as teacher and coach at Columbia. Do you remember the Academy football team of ' 27: Out of the eight games played. Cretzmeyers men came forth on Thanksgiving Day with an e(|ual number of victories, and a total of 338 p(� ints as compared with their opponents’ 28. There is ikj need to say more of our silver-haired gentleman as a f M4l)all coach. Mr. Cretzmeyer’s reputation as a ha.seball coach in college circles is not less glorious. The pinnacle of coachdom. however, was reached at the close of this year’s cage season. Plis fighting ‘Cubs’ won the Diocesan School Tournament, and by that victory they merited the right to enter the National Catholic High School Tournament at Loyola University. Our coach and his scrappy men didn’t return from Chicagcj winners of the tournament, but rather, honored as “the best coached Catholic prep team in America!” Track supplanted baseball in ’26 and, though it is an innovaticui, “Cretz” has proven ecpially efficient in this sjxirt. Under his guidance Columbia Academy has ])roduced track men of real class. McCiuinn, I’arkley and Kolfeiihach are all Cretzmeyer products. Professor Cretzmeyer has another claim upon academy students. W ' e refer to his years of efficient service as a teacher. Many there are who proudly attribute their skill in mathe¬ matics, or in public speaking to Professor Cretzmeyer’s teaching. Above all his other (lualifications. and most to he admired, Cretz is a Christian gentle- m.in, res|)ected e(|ually by his rival coaches and his proteges, and loved by all with whom he has come in contact. His coiuluct, whether on the field or lloor, at Imine or abroad, never calls for an a])ologv. He has in tilled into his teams the policy of clean playing and has borne out his justice by his � wn example. His nineteen yi-ars of faithful teaching and coaching will ever remain a monument to him in C ' olnmhia’s Hall of h ' anu . PaoI, O’ XKIM, John V. Cretzmeyer Pape 190 Vignettes SENIOR DRESS PARADE Page 192 Cee® Jkj G ems COLUMIUA ' S MOTTO Columbia’s motto is l ro Deo ct Patria”— For Clod and Country. It is an c.xprcssion of loyalty. Loyalty to God, of course, eclipses all other loyalties ami presupposes reverence and devotion. A man faithful to his God is faithful to his country. The two arc thus so intertwined ns to form one surpassinp all- enc� )mpa8sin� r loyalty, which is best e.xpressed in the ex(iuisite Latin: Pro Deo et Patria. We of Colum¬ bia should feel just pride in having for the motto of our school so noble and inspiring an exhortation to work for God and country.” The faithful pursuance of these hijrh ideals set by our Academy’s founders is the reason for the tradi- ti«)nally honored Columbia Spirit. Love of God and country be rets Christian jrentlemanliness. the practice of which is shown in respect for our able, reverend l rofessors, and every one of our felUiw-students. To extend it into our relations with the public and other schotds is a logical conseiiuence. Such an attitude is tersely labeled spirit.” We have it at Columbia may the school year witness its incrcasin}? intensity! J. D. E., ’29. ATTITUDE Success or failure in life depends to a jrreat de- Kree upon our attitude. Love for a Uisk makes that certain task less difficult, while we seldom ever suc- ce.ssfully perform a job that we hate. Haven’t you noticed how easy it is to lend a helping; hand to a dear friend? Then suppose that someone who wasn’t quite so dear asked for the same help—that would be (piite a diflerent story and our aid mi ht be Riven hesitatinRly if at all. So it is with our duties. If we can cultivate a love and likinR for them we will find that little or no efTort is required to execute them in a befittinjr and satisfactory manner. We like to arRue with ourselves and sometimes even ro so far as to pull the wool over our own eye. . Why. then, when tempted to do our work in a slovenly way. do we not use persuasive arRuments aRainst the temptation ? If we have the proper atti¬ tude these arRuments will spontaneously suRRest themselves and overwhelm the opposition, thereby winninR the victory. Try to love your work, and your work will be easy. P.

S., ’30 ACADEMY FRIENDSHIPS The superiority of our boardinp school over the day school is founded principally on the homelike spirit which pervades iUs life. The teachers not only teach the students subjects ; they recreate with them. encouniRe them in their studies, foster their sports and orRanizations, arc iilcals for them. The doors of the boardiiiR school are never closed there is not a moment of the day in which there is not some feature or event to hold the attention of the students. Such an atmosphere cannot help but endear them to the school ; the foundinR of firm and lastiiiR friend¬ ships betw’een the students -both day’-pupil and boarder. Mutual thoiiphtfulness and common interests ban d them topether. Various diverse personalities and natures stand forth, showinp a nuiltitude of different traits and qualities a store-house from which any student may draw at will. Indeed, there are very few who do m t, in some manner, receive benefit from such contact. . , , • Moreover, these friendships aciiuircd durinp the years we spend at the Academy are not merely porary, only pleasant episodes of the present quickly made and just ns ipiickly cast aside: althouph we may not realize it now. many of them shall be the source of constant joy in future years: for the thinps wc f.irm iluritiR y«� uth. time serves to streiiRthen. Aiul when our happy ilays at the Academy have bec.ime thiiiRs of the past, our friendships shall keep aliNe those happy memories, shall call t ) mind the ideals and ambitions of our youth, shall sweeten life s jour¬ ney, and be to us as puidinp liphts on that labyrin- thiaii, hidden road called life. THE BEAUTY OF THE COMMONPLACE How many of us fail to see the beauty of the ordinary thinps in our familiar surroundinps! One need not be an aesthetic or an artist to do so. All that is required is eyesipht and a proper appreciation of form and nature. Who pauses to paze at the sil¬ houette of a poplar apainst the sky? Did you ever watch smoke risinp, twistinp, writhinp, billowinp, then disappearinp in the haze of the vaulted heavens? There is a vine stripped bare with only a few defiant oraiiRe-yellow leaves, flutterinp on their tendrils, still clinpinp to the pray backpround of an old wall. Here is a yard carpeted with autumn leaves tinted by the hand of a Master, to which a field or cloth of pold itself is incomparable! There is beauty in the solid corner of a buildinp in the shadows cast by trees, in the impenetrable and vanishinp depths of a lonp nar¬ row alley fadinp off into mere dull misty smoke- screened distances. There is beauty in everythinp createil by God. It is waitinp for a seeker to draw it out. one whose eyes are open and whose mind is athirst. Look for the beauty in the commonplace and joy will liphten the burden of the future and pive buoyance to your footstep ! R. K., ’29. EXIT MR. TROW A one act play by Mr. I. Knoaboutem.

Professor Dovi was for¬ merly a student of the Academy and also of the College. He was a member of the first College Band. This year, conjointly with Father Kelly, he organized the first Academy Band. Under their dynamic leadership it has already reached maturity and is one of the largest high .school hands in the state. Its first public concert will take place on May 27, when seventy young musicians will seek to thrill the audience. The Parent-Teachers meeting in the early part of the year was the largest and most profitable yet held. The first .Academy’s “Dad’s Day” was a real success. Every¬ one was happy to see the interest manifested. The crowd at the game was large and enthusiastic. Barkley’s ninety yard sprint, and Paul Frantzen’s toy balloon which broke the world’s record in its class, landing in Massachusetts, were easily the features. John Evans won the twenty-five dollar prize in the essay contest conducted by the Ancient Order of Hiberians for 1928. The mid-year scholastic honor showed an increase of eleven over the previous year. In 1922 the first Academy student organization was formed, the Cee Ay. Since that time there have been ten other organizations brought into existence. All arc active in supple¬ menting class work and in building up student spirit. In the Elocution contest there were 46 entries, in the Short Story, 63, in the Essay, 56, and in the Poetry, 41. The Sixth nnual Diocesan Tournament was held in the college gym. The Academy basketed its way to victory and thus merited the right to represent the diocese at the National Tournament in Chicago. .Among the letters received after the team’s .showing in Chicago we quote the following: “Your team showed the highest type of basketball sportmanship in refusing to stall out a vic¬ tory. I do believe that if tliey had won they would have done better in the finals than we did. I noted particularly the fine spirit that they showed after dropping that hectic battle to us.” (Brother Peter, President of St. Stanislaus College.) “The award to your team and to Mr. Cretzmeyer of the trophy for the Ix ' St-coached team was well merited and indicative of the esteem in which your team was held in an athletic way—your boys conducted themselves at all times in a fashion that was remarkable for its modesty and friendliness.” (Harold Hille- hrand, K.xecutive Secretary, National Catholic Tournament) “You sure did give us an exhibition of how to come hack to conquer an overwhelming lead. We have a bunch of profs down here from St. Jo.seph’s and Loras Halls and they are proud of their school. We gt)t the day off to .see your team play. Tell the fellows that we are certainly proud of them anyway. . . . Several times I have eaten with the gang at St. Francis Hall, listened to the Vested Choir sing Mass, roamed through the corridors,—finding evervwhere that courteous spirit of hospitality that is becoming justlv famous at Dubuque.” (W. ' Wilkins, Editor-in-Chief. De Paul Prep.) Over one hundred congratulatory telegrams were received by the “Cubs” while in Chicago. Two Gubs were awarded positions on the Iowa all state grid eleven. The plavers thus honored were. George Barkley and Thomas Knox. On the second team Capt. Hamsmith and Lawrence Baldus gained honors. Donald McKenna of Madison, Wisconsin won second place in the National Golf Driving Tournament. To qualify, it was necessary that he win both the city and state finals. Bill Leary is the .Academy Tennis champ. Captain Barkley established a new broad jump record for Columbia when, at the recent C. A. C. meet, he leaped 21 feet. 4 inches. In 1923, two students, Michael Haddigan, ’23. and James Donahue. ’24, wrote and .staged a play, “The Egyptian Mummy.” This year two more names were added tt) the list of .Academy play¬ wrights.

Knowledge and understanding are as essential to cope with the world as re¬ ligion is to prepare one for his future life .... each on a par for the purposes for which they arc intended. Their days of learning arc not over .... in fact, when they mingle with a world so entirely different from the classroom, they will see that the beauties of life and understanding are largely contained in themselves. Let them be honest, just, righteous, and love their fellowmcn, regardless of color or creed and all else will follow their wake.
