When each of us has passed into whatever walk of life he may have chosen, and when in some far- distant day we may strive to recall to memory some of the activities ' and friends which helped to make our life at Columbia more pleasurable, it is the sin¬ cere hope of every member of the staff of 19.V). that these pages will help to preserve in word and pic¬ ture these delightful associations, and through the records herein contained help to lighten the lonely hours in the years to come. Hence, if we have succeeded even in a small way in fulfilling our purpose, we can feel that our labors have been fully compensated. kt yy w -jQC ' -3ac xx xy joc yx %x nz£, J a v e 1 J T 5 L -AW The Campus i 1 SCIENCE HALL x xx jL- Jxx x YY yy ' 3Gt xx- Pane 10 GYMNASIUM the infirmary — .x jtx TZ w Jut Jot vy- -sH m - ape ♦ IKiWJl : fec -xz: a a s H THE REFECTORY f £ 4- yx- 1Y to y w w joo sih Pa«e 13 Q C_ j)0C-Xx: THE PANORAMA Pape II Administration THE MOST REVEREND FRANCIS J.

GEORGE WRIGHT Eagle Grove, Iowa H r yjf y x xx xx x x: -3o e xx : do:: Page 3. r ) « a a a a a a a a IX s s Senior History X a T E begin this record of our college clays with a feeling almost of futil YY ity. It is our duty to leave here such tokens as may serve to guide those who ' in some far future time may choose to journey in that en¬ chanted land, the past,—the past which faits like a still wood in golden Au¬ tumn for those who would wander there. The reflection that the wood’s charm lies chiefly in its impalpable, ever mutable chiaroscuro and that we are forced to deal here with the cold lumps of fact, has left us exceedingly loathe to asssume our task. Here we can but barely sketch the searing, naked, peaks of class achievement, and trust that his memory may not fail to paint for our reader the happy sunlit valleys that smile between. In our Freshman year we were—as is customary—the largest class in Columbia’s history. Unhappy chance has however cut off full two-thirds of our original number. It is plain then that it remained for those who were left to be unusually active if our name and number were to be fittingly in¬ scribed upon the roll of fame. The briefest survey can not but make it plain that such activity has not been wanting. Neither has it gone unrewarded. In its four brief years our class has overlooked no field in which it might attain honorable distinction. The results are everywhere manifest. The Vested Choir which has contrib¬ uted so much to the fair name of Columbia, numbers 13 Seniors among its members, and 8 among its officers. In the Hand and Orchestra we have been proportionately represented. The class may look at its literary achievements with a feeling of accomplishment something beyond the ordinary; Lorian, Spokesman, and Purgold all have in their time been efficiently and most suc¬ cessfully managed by Seniors. And in the Dramatic and Forensic depart¬ ments more than one Senior voice was raised and heard far beyond the col¬ lege walls. In Athletics as in the arts, the class has made a record of which it may well be proud. For football we have provided duo-captains and players al¬ most without end. One of our finest men and truest, captained the basket¬ ball team through its recent most successful season. And there can be little doubt but what that success was owing in large part to the efficient and faithful support of two of his fellow classmen. Then too we boast that the track men have chosen two of their leaders from our rank and that four years of achievement in track and on the field are the result in marked degree of Senior activity. And there we close, oppressed still with the knowledge that the greatest things, the friendships made, the obstacles met and silently overcome, have gone unmentioned. We console ourself with the mournful reflection that words have not been coined nor space allowed for the proper expression of these things. Then before finally putting down pen, we answer those who have wondered,—we have not chosen to leave here a record of individual achievement, preferring simply to say with that noble old Roman—‘‘So many statues in that forum of yours; were it not better if coming they should ask —‘Where is Cato’s statue?’” a h R R x.

It may give us an idea of what the fourth year holds in store for us. Three years ago the present Junior class, having successfully passed through the wilderness of l ig-school life, topped the horizon and gazed over the large expanse of collegiate territory. Our mode of procedure may be likened to the lumbering, horse-drawn wagon of the early settler. The path was obviously rough and unchartered, as far as we were con¬ cerned, and many were prompted to tarry. However we bravely pushed for¬ ward through this first year of trial with Fett ig holding the reins ot the lead- wagon. We encountered our first real obstacle and succeeded with the kindly aid of the Juniors, in fording that terrible stream, the Initiation. Then one difficulty followed on the heels of another. Adapting ourselves to different conditions and customs was no easy task, while many balked at wearing the badge of complete insignificance imposed by the aforementioned I uniors. Often our poor wagons would have sunk dee]) in the soft spots were it not for enterprising members of our group. These put their shoulders to the wheel by upholding the standard of the class in student activities and proclaiming our presence to all. Athletics depended greatly on the lowly Freshie as shown by the fact that Kerring, Learv and that unheralded star Cyril Ryan, won letters in toot- fall, while Coan and “Gump” made their presence felt in basketball. In the more cultural aspects of this new life. Lynch, Fettig. and Cooney gave promise of future success in their respective lines of endeavor. I he school publications, numerous musical groups and the Dramatic club would have suffered sorely from a lack of Freshman talent. As Sophomores we discarded the slow wagons and roared down the sec¬ ond stretch in gas-burning vehicles. Our path was becoming clearer and smoother. We sympathized with the poor Freshmen and often towed them over especially rough spots. However we were not immune to fiat tires and other hindrances ourselves. For instance our first trip into Philosophy turned out to be a very uneven detour. Moreover we still felt interior to the Junior and Senior classes but soothed our injured feelings with the knowledge that in a short time we would take their places. This second year found our athletes well established and playing import¬ ant roles in every major sport. Coan and Rreitbach added their names to a He w YY Xjrix. yy vx- vr yy Pa 45 s s s M s s X H the Sophomores already winning ' fame on the grid. Kieler and Meyer burned up the opposition in tennis, the latter being crowned Iowa Conference Ten nis Champ. Also our intra-mural teams continued their championship race in passball and indoor. The stage claimed Conlin, Schaelle, Lricklev, Mullen and McNamara. (Jur debate team was built around Schaelle, Gauvin and lloffmann, while the literary efforts of Lynch, Glass, and Cooney inspired the large number of second year men on the staffs of the Lorian, Spokesman, and Purgold. The personnel of the Choir, Land and Orchestra clearly showed a strong Sopho¬ more influence also. These outstanding achievements and many lesser ones, paved the way for our speeding cars and brought us to the third lap in our journey through the country “Erudition. ' ” Proceeding with the analogy, Junior year found us progressing among the clouds of advanced learning, the route chartered and plainly visible. The experimental years, formative ones, were past. We had absorbed Columbia traditions, and were preparing to emulate former graduates both in spiritual and secular matters. The well-known school motto was uppermost in our minds. We set out to imbue the underclasses with the principles we had learned. The class achieved this by becoming leaders and showing the way in all activities, along with the Seniors. The Juniors placed officers in prac¬ tically every organization and their steady hands guided more than one group to success in athletic and intellectual endeavor. Thus we have arrived within range of that immediate goal, Graduation. Senior year will be, as it were, almost an anti-climax, but nevertheless a very necessary one. We must prepare now to realize that Commencement will be only what it signifies,—“Non confectus sed initus”. 5 Hr 30C yx xx yy yy joc xx I’MKfi Hi Sophomore’s oc -Docjjpq tot 30 Francis X.

We came here as hreshmen and were made true Columbians by the initiation tendered us b the Jun¬ iors. With the arrival of our Freshman year at Columbia came 1( r’,. aNNn l a new lite, one which differed greatly from our high school days. W latevci We were to get out of our opportunities for education depended entire y up¬ on ourselves. But there was a spirit of study manifested in our class, and as a consequence our Freshman year proved to be an exceeding!} prolific one, both in scholastic and extra-curricular achievements. The fact that so many freshman names were found on the honor roll and in the membeiship of the Choir, Dramatic Club, Lorian staff, and the various clubs which go to make up social life of the college, evidence the spirit of cooperation and in¬ tense interest which characterized our class. Our history as freshmen was not one of individual accomplishment, but rather one of concerted achieve¬ ment. Our Sophomore year was begun more auspiciously. We were accustomed to the rules of the house and immediately set forth to put our best efforts in our work. This fact is again borne out bv the number of Sophomores whose names appear on the Honor roll. In the field of Literature, the Sopho¬ more accomplishments were many. he Spokesman contains many articles, both in prose and poetrv, of high caliber, from the pen of our fellow class- men. In mentioning the individual events we shall begin with the fall months and continue chronologically. When the students first arrived at Columbia their interests were centered chiefly on Football. Columbia’s successful team claimed seven Sophomores: Dougherty, Gehrig, McFarland, 0 loole, kopele, Schwind and Sims. After the football season was over, Basketball became the chief interest, and to this major sport we contributed Frank Finley, Emmy Schwartz, and Matt Brennan. The Basketball season had scarcely ended when the ' I rack season opened, and here too the Sophomores performed in their usual praise¬ worthy way. In intra-mural activities the Sophomores again met with success, the In¬ door Baseball team and Bowling Team winning first places, while the Basket¬ ball team and Passball team finished as runners-up. It is not to be inferred that the Sophomore class was entirely engross¬ ed in athletic activities and that cultural pursuits were placed second in im¬ portance. Contrary to this we find our class well represented in the Choir, Band, Purgold Staff, and Lorian staff, as well as in the various clubs. W herever Sophomore talent has turned, it has met with success. As we glance back over our past two years, we may feel assured that with a class of such caliber as this, no obstacle will be too large to be overcome, no dif¬ ficulty either in classwork or on the athletic field too formidable, and that at the close of our four years our labors will be crowned with success, and °ur class will be one of which our Alma Mater can be justly proud. s a a a a a a a a a pc xx xy kt joe.. jQfL_Jor Joc r (.3or P;i«;c r 2 Freshmen y Freshman Class Officers KI DOX SHUSTER President (; 1,10 NT A N A.

Freshman History F RESHMAN history is ordinarily not a history of events; and yet, for the student just entering upon college life, the first year is perhaps the most eventful of the entire course, not outstanding, it is true, for any momentous achievements of his making , nor for the honor he has brought upon his school — that, more than likely, is yet to come — nor for the dis¬ tinction he may bring to his class in scholastic, dramatic, or athletic fields ; for none of these perhaps will his name be entitled to eminent mention in the history of his class. And yet to declare this first year of his college ca¬ reer to be lacking of all significance would be obviously absurd. Freshman history, although not marked by tangible attainments, nor clear-cut accom¬ plishments, should by no means produce the impression that nothing worth¬ while has been affected. That the history of those just beginning college is largely taking place beneath the llesh is found still more true when one considers that the Fresh¬ man period is one of orientation to novel surroundings, and re-adjustment to a different environment, new companions, new teachers, new studies, and an entirely different spirit. The atmosphere of the college is variant trom that of the high school. Here the student is expected to take care ot him¬ self, and to derive as much as or as little benefit from his education as he thinks fit. Knowledge is offered him, to take or leave at will. 1 he compul¬ sion of the high school is supplanted for the personal responsibility of the college. The Freshman must adjust himself accordingly, lie is required to do his own studying, his own thinking, and find his own amusement. He is P.ikc 55 I Jack How: Casey. KHko.

That alone is a definite achievement in the light ot a history such as this. nd. if his education so tar has had the slight¬ est beneficial effect upon him, he is at least beginning to discover that oppor¬ tunity knocks but once. Consequently, a Freshman history is ot necessity one of foundation. nd that is a part of the building’ which seldom comes to light. I though it does not enhance the beaut v � ! the structure above, vet it is the most integral part of all, and must be present or the result is negligible. So let the f reshmen work on at building foundations, content with a basement window thrown in at intervals here a member oi the squad, there a contender for the Spokesman or Honor roll to throw an encourag¬ ing light upon the work, but more predominant, the many stones which, while not accomplishing such evident and immediate results, yet are keeping tin structure from falling into ruins. nd it is less important that lit teen suc¬ ceeded in making the team, or the honor roll, than that fifty tried their best to make it as well. For these reasons then. Freshmen history should not be merely citations of nanus and of events which are of minor importance in themselves, and are soon lorgotten ; rather it should imprint a more last¬ ing impression, an impression � l changes undergone, of difficulties overcome, and of inlying personal achievements. finally, our history being that of a foundation, awaits the day when the visible structure ma be superimposed upon it. Not until then shall the more tangible ellects, produced as a result ol the adequacy or inadequacy of the underlying structure, be exposed to view. Nor until then can it In definitc- 1 said whether or no what we have built is to be worthy of the recording. - x x h P. ' Uio r,(i I Football s a 5 a H The Captains T il £ succ css of the 1929 football season can be attributed in large part to the able leadership of Captain Ryan. Together with being a clever and versatile player, Jack possessed the sterling qualities of a leader, thus enabling him to lead his team through a most successful season. I le will be conspicuous by his absence on next year’s team. Heady, exceptionally fast, and ever elusive, Jack was the ideal man for his position. Although possessed of the inverse ratio of weight allotted to the ordinary player, his high-geared determination cancelled any lack of bulk. Captain John Ryan Captain-Elect A1 Leary p� v a unanimous vote of the letternun, 1 Leary was chosen to Cap¬ tain next year’s Duhawks. For three years Captain-elect Leary has been a prominent member of Columbia’s football teams. During that time he has distinguished himself both as an end and a fullback. In Al’s selection rests the assurance of a successful season in 1930. Tall and slim, but with plenty of strength, and all the light in the world. A1 is the ideal leader. With a good knowledge of football, the confidence of his team mates, and the ability to instill light, 1 as captain of the 1931 Duhawks will assure victory upon victory for Columbia. 1929 Football Schedule October 5—Columbia 14 Simps m . 0 October 12 Columbia. 12 La Crosse . 6 November 2—Columbia ( 1 ars ms 6 November 9 Columbia 24 Ambrc se 0 N ivember 16—Columbia 0 Luena Vista 14 November 28—Col urn 1 i a 7 Luther . 6 £ w yy :xx xv nc xx :sorH£ P.

Contronted by an un¬ usually hard schedule of seven games, not one being a “rest tussle and with the conference crown the main objective such an early start was deemed imperative. What was optimism regarding a defeatless season became pes¬ simism. Dependable veterans failed to return. With such men as Hellei, O’Brien, Sybeldon, Meyers, Mineguin, and Brady missing at roll-call plans were upset and the outlook was not so encouraging. However, the htteen faithful who returned atoned the loss with a greater enthusiasm and a stronger determination to make it a banner season. Yet it was a gloom mentor who issued a general call on Sept. 19, the first conference game being only two weeks in the offing. Forty-five am¬ bitious youths answered. Loras field was the scene of moleskin clad aspn ants, passing, tackling, blocking, and punting with one purpose, one endeavor —to be among the chosen ones to bring prestige and glory to Columbia. The spirit of bygone years returned Competition was keen. Optimism once more prevailed; the outlook was bright. That a mighty spiiit was manifest by each individual was subsequently attested to by four glorious victories, one tie, and a loss, bringing second place in the Conference. A credit to any team, a boost for any coach. Under the guidance of Coach Armstrong and the leadership of Jack Rvan a promising aggregation was soon whipped into shape.

His versatility was apparent throughout the season. It was Leary who formed the backbone in all the games. McPartland, one of the gamiest lads to grace the local gridiron was shifted from guard to the va¬ cancy at center. Glass, a pro mising husky who fulfilled the promise was groomed for guard. “Consistent” Alike Ryan who never made the head¬ lines but appeared in every play was at his old position at guard, eliminating any worry in that region. “Dapper Dan” Dougherty and Kerring the two big boys with reputations from previous years were at the tackles. Schwind and Sims were two experienced men for general utility. At the flanks was found a wealth of experience in O ' Toole, Pacetti, Kinlev, and Kenline. In the backfield was a coach’s delight. Captain Ryan, Joe Ropele, the gritty little scrapper from Michigan, and hard hitting Rreitbach removed the prob¬ lem at the halves. Klees and Coan were the two old-timers ready to call the signals. Leary and Gehrig were ready to carry the brunt at fullback. Out of the score of new candidates rose Richie, a fast and shifty lad from the North who did great things when called upon later. Cross began proving himself a valuable understudy for the pivot position. Raldus de¬ veloped into a valuable lineman In a short while after much intensive and conscientious effort, a well oiled machine was functioning, impatiently awaiting the day when the 1930 grid campaign would be on. “Down with Simpson” was the cry on the lips of the student body, the alumni and the football public in general as the Duhawks trotted on Loras field that memorial Saturday afternoon of Oct. 5 to meet the highly touted giants from Indianola in the initial game. ' Phis was to be the test. Much was expected and asked of the local warriors. Did the boys respond? They rose to great heights that eventful day. No smoother, more aggressive and alert team was ever witnessed by the local fans. It was an eleven 5- XX. XX YX XX YV YY JuCH X r’. ' iKG C2 Cross Schwiml Glass Pacetti working in unison. The far-famed Simpson aerial attack ceased to func¬ tion against the ubiquitous backs, the alert ends and charging tackles. Any thrusts at the line were stopped by the well-balanced and coordinate Co lumhia defense. The Duhnwks beat Simpson at its own game, i. c.. via the air. The Columbian passing attack bewildered the opponents and demoral¬ ized their playing. The first half was scoreless; both teams playing hard. In the third quarter a blocked punt, two passes to O’Toole and Finley and a line plunge gave Columbia its first touchdown. Shortly afterwards a safety was registered against Simpson. The last marker was chalked up for the Duhawks on a recovered fumble on the ing over. The stellar defense of Leary was turned to the showers a tired but happy lot, defeat to carry home. Columbia had its tria They were off to a living start. two yard line ; Gehrig plung- laudable. The local lads re¬ leaving Simpson with a 14-0 and was not found wanting. With the LaCrosse Teachers facing them on the following Saturday, little rest was permitted. The Purple and Gold gridders set about with increased vigor to add scalp number two. Gloom fell over the camp, how¬ ever, when Ropele, McFarland, and Dougherty were out ot the lineup due to injuries sustained during the week. Hut with able substitutes the Du¬ hawks entered the game with confidance. “Fighting Duhawks in Great Victory” is the way a local newspaper expressed it. And great and sweet it was. Trailing at the end of the first quarter by six points, the Purple and Gold came back in the second and third periods to score two touch¬ downs for a brilliant victory. The game was truly a battle of giants. The teams were evenly matched and battled it out toe to toe. Columbia made its first touchdown after a twenty-three ya rd pass, Ryan to Hrietbach. Leary pushed the ball over the last yard. The winning touchdown came l MM ' Reible Breitbach Me Parian cl O’Toole the honors, of the day Mike Kvun, after a long march down the field, Ryan and Gehrig sharing McFarland showed his true worth and won the hero honors by playing a great game throughout with a wrenched shoulder. Ferring and O’Toole played stellar line games. The next game being three weeks away, the boys took a well earned rest. “Old Dame Misfortune” seemed to lavish the local gridders with in¬ jury upon injury. Going to Fairfield to encounter Parsons November 2 the Duhawks battled to a six-to-six tie. ' I bis came as a surprise as the Colum¬ bians were generally doped to win the contest The Purple and Gold played an excellent defense game but lacked the offensive drive apparent in the earlier victories over Simpson and LaCrosse. The defensive and offensive work of Ropele was outstanding. On the following Saturday the Duhawks showed their old torm by swamping their traditional rivals, St. Ambrose, 24 to 0 on the newly in¬ augurated “Dad’s Day. The Ambrosians were completely taken off their feet the first quarter. Gehrig crossed the line in the opening minutes. Re- fore St. Ambrose recovered Roger O’Toole snagged a pass and dashed over for the second tally. His pass grabbing performance completely demoral¬ ized the visitors. Near the end of the first period a blocked punt, a penalty, and a line plunge chalked up touchdown number three. The fourth and final tally was made in the third quarter on a forward pass. The work of Leary, Rieble, and Gehrig in the backfield dazed the vis¬ itors. Ropele proved a constant annoyance by his slashing drives and clever defense. Rieble the slippery Freshman got in the game long enough to give the opponents a taste of real tackling, llis ground gaining ability was praiseworthy. The stone wall defense was attributed to Cross, Mike Ryan, Glass, and Dougherty. k xx kx n vy n xr mr yxr r iKo in XL J ix XA x u XX mr yy ky kx n joe vr xx: yx xx X P.M O fif Gehrig Ropele Finley Coan Cleared high and in smooth running’ order the Duhaxvks moved west¬ ward to meet I� uena ista at Storm Lake, November 15. Plaving on a heavy field and against a hard charging team, the Purple and Gold met its first defeat of the season 14-0. After a punting duel in the first quarter the locals succumbed to a passing attack in the second; two long passes in rapid succession telling the story. The last half was straight football, nothing effective being accomplished by either team. In the line Cross, Ryan, and O’Toole played their usual good games, while Ropele and Richie did the most valuable work in the backfield. The game scheduled for the following Saturdav with the Wisconsin Miners was forleited. The final game of the season was here with Luther on Thanksgiving Day. The traditional rivals presenting two powerful teams gave a performance before 2(X)0 chilly spectators that will never be for¬ gotten. All the scoring was done in the first half. Luther scored first on a long march climaxed with a lateral pass. Columbia retaliated in the sec¬ ond quarter. Ryan tossed a pass to O’Toole from the forty-five yard line. Reing surrounded by Norsemen, O’Toole made a spectacular catch and scampered across the line standing up. Richie came in to share the honors by dropkicking the extra point which eventually won the game 7-6. In this, the most brilliant of his many fine games, O’Toole gave one of the finest exhibitions of quiet courage in the annals of football at Columbia. He finished the game in spite of frozen hands and the fact that he had been knocked breathless after each of two cleverly intercepted and returned passes. Jack Ryan played a fine game with long and frequent gains. A1 Leary starred at the role of defensive fullback; Mike Ryan, herring. Dough¬ erty, Finlev, O ' Toole, Cross, and T aldus were the men forming an immov ¬ able wall which held Luther to a standstill in all its line attempts. yxr « s 1929 Football Lettermen Capt.

In that year he was paired with Brennan at guard and all due credit to the other players this was the greatest guard combination in Co¬ lumbia s history. In 1927 he was back at his old position making life miser¬ able for the opponents. The next year Hogan did not return to school but in 1929 Coach Armstn ng, without a cap¬ able center shifted “Buzz” there. Al¬ though smaller than any center he op¬ posed, Hogan could outjump them all and he played a Bang-up game there the whole season. What he did this year will live forever in the memor¬ ies ol all that watched him perform. Always alert, and ever dependable, buzz was in every play in body and spirit, cheering his team mates in mo¬ ments of success and urging them on in times of depression. Too bad for Columbia cage annals that buzz” is graduating this year for he leaves a long and glorious record in basketball histoi v. Captain-elect Paul Coan came to Co¬ lumbia in 1927 with a brilliant record in High School basketball. “Abie lived up to his great reputation by making the first quintet as a guard in his Freshman year. Coan turned out to be a stonewall on defense and was also a ‘‘Dead-eye Dick” on long shots. The next year, with four veteran guards available he was shifted to a forward position where he soon ad¬ apted himself and performed remark¬ ably well all season. This year “Abie returned to his old position at guard as running mate to the flashy “Buzz Hogan. How well he performed can be judged by the fact that his mates elected him to lead the team in his Senior year. With three years of bas¬ ketball experience behind him all indi¬ cations point to a big season for Paul next year. Always a hard worker and a steadying influence to his team¬ mates, “Abie” should make a worthy successor to Hogan; his team-mates could not have made a wiser choice, could not have made a wiser choice. Best oi all lie is good for another ear of college basketball and tin fans are expecting great things from him next vear. B B B B B B DL-JQc_jql. Jcx vx x ra rxr rx Page GS Hack How: .1. Finley.

Practice for a time was conducted under the able tutelage of Captain Buzz” I logan, vet¬ eran guard while “Annie” whipped his football team into shape tor their remaining pigskin contests. Immediately after the ' Turkey Day battle with Luther, practice started in earnest and within a week the Coach had his squad reduced to working s .e. Less than three weeks later, on December 16 to be exact, the squad had its baptism of lire when Captain 1 logan led his proteges to a victory over the Wisconsin School t Mines. veteran team composed of Emmet Schwartz and Twohig at forwards, John Finley at center and Captain I logan and Coan at guards started the game, soon to be relieved by the other mem¬ bers of the squad in the persons of Kielcr, Schrup, Brennan, O ' Toole, I , hinley, Cross, Kd. Schwartz, Ropele, Ileliernan, Letko, Connell and Quin¬ lan.

Games dropped to non¬ conference schools were DePaul Onhersity of Chicago and Kirksville ' Teach¬ ers ol Kirksville, Missouri. ' The entire schedule was complete with ten vic¬ tories and six defeats lor a percentage of .( 25 . Letters were awarded to nine men of the squad. Captain Ilogan re¬ ceived his fourth basketball letter and Captain-elect Coan was awarded his third. ' The men receiving the coveted “C” for the second time were John Finley and Twohig, seniors, and Schwartz and Hrennan, sophomores. Kiel¬ er, a junior, Prank Finley, a sophomore and Quinlan a freshman were award¬ ed basketball letters for the first time. Of these Hogan was placed on sev¬ eral all-conference teams at guard and Coan and Twohig received honorable mention on these teams at guard and forward respectively. ' The prospects for next year are not such as to cause despair; in fact thev are of just the opposite type. Captain Coan will find an able brigade under his charge.

Dick was a fast dash man a good low hurdler, and his absence cost Columbia many points in these events. His speed could also have been used in the relay, but again Coach Armstrong was forced to find another man to take the place of our versatile Captain. Dick will be lost to the squad this year through graduation and it will be no small task to find as capable a leader to take his place. A LI 1101 GH he was unable to compete in the conference meet last year Captain-elect Cotter was one of our most dependable men in the other meets. Jack specializes in the dashes and last year he went through the season without being defeated in the 100 vd. or 220 yd. dashes, lie holds the college record in both the 220 yd. and 440 yd. dashes. Captain-elect Cotter will be able to enter the conference meet next year t ' ind as it will be his last year in Columbia colors, great things are expected of him. Track Lettermen Paul Gehrig.

McGuire Track Review “ Y . “T HEN Coach Armstrong issued his call for track candidates about thirty men reported. Among this number were four letter-men— Captain Carberry, Cotter, Palacios, and Leary. Besides these men there were several reserves from last year’s squad, including Gossman, Sed- lak, E. Cooney, Timmerman, Lynch, Pacetti, O’Connor, and Hogan. With this array of star performers from which to build a team hopes for a success- fill season were running high. Despite the fact that there were a number of good men on the squad, the coach was confronted with the difficult task of finding men to take the places of eight letter-men from last year’s team. To make matters worse Captain Carberrv pulled a tendon, shortly after the season started, and Palacios, our star hurdler, left school. It w as not long, however, until it became apparent that these places would be taken care of in a capable manner. With the veterans rapidly rounding into form, and a number of new men showing great promise, pros¬ pects tor a winning team were very good. Among the new men, who showed up well in practice, were McGuire in the distances, Kundc in the quarter-mile and broadjump, Gehrig in the weights, and Schwartz in the highjump and hu rdles. ra TKiof YK nf k Pn e 7( XX VK VY Is Schwartz I lie schedule for the season was comprised of a dual meet with Platte- ville, ;it I)ul)U(jue, on May 4; a dual meet at La Crosse May 11 ; a triangular with Luther and LaCrosse at Luther May 18; and finally the conference meet at Cedar Falls on May 25. In the meet with Platteville the Armymen emerged victorious by the large score of 81 1 to 40j Columbia displayed fine form, and in tour events, 440. 880, pole vault, and broadjump, scored slams. Cotter, who was high point man of the meet, with 14 points to his credit, broke the 220 record by stepping the distance in 22.8, .2 of a second better than the old record. Leary broke the pole vault record by three inches when he cleared the bar at 11 feet 9 inches. This meet uncovered a number of promising men. McGuire, a sopho¬ more who is out for track for the first time, won the halt-mile in 2:14.6. O’Connor, another sophomore, placed second in both the 440 and the 880. E. Cooney, a veteran miler, easily won his event. Three freshmen, Eunde, Schwartz, and J. Cooney, turned in fine performances. Runde in the 440 and broadjump; Schwartz in the high hurdles; and J. Cooney in the low hurdles. Other men who showed up to good advantage were the famous ponies, Hogan and Prennan, Pacetti. Timmerman, Gossman, Sedlak, Glass, Whalen, and Gehrig. In the LaCrosse meet the Duhawks suffered a severe setback at the hands of a better team. The final score was 90-36. The locals fought val- a xx- xx: yy w rx xx anrHfr PiiKC 77 J. Cooney Leary Runde iantly and placed in every event, 1 ut were no match tor the Teachers. Cot¬ ter was again Columbia’s high point man, landing firsts in the 100 and 220, and third in the low hurdles. The Varsity Harriers finished second in the triangular meet at Luther. The Norsemen took first with 55 points, Columbia and LaCrosse finishing with 41 and 40, respectively. Cotter and Leary were the outstanding per¬ formers for the Purple and God, each winning two firsts. Cotter broke the 220 dash record for the second time this year. His time was 22.4. The mile relay team, composed of Pacetti, O’Connor, Lynch, and Runde, set a new record of 3.38, bettering the old mark by 10 seconds. On May 25 the cream of our tracksters journeyed to Cedar Falls where they took part in the Iowa Conference meet. Because he had attended Marquette University last year. Cotter was unable to compete in this meet The men who made the trip were A1 Leary, stellar high jumper and pole vaulter; Gehrig, star weight man; and a mile relay team, consisting of Sed- lak, O’Connor, Lynch, and Runde. Columbia garnered 6 points, all of which were made by Lcarv, who tied for first in the high jump, and for second in the pole vault. Varsity letters were awarded to nine men—Cotter, Leary, Runde, Mc¬ Guire, O’Connor, Schwartz, K. Cooney, J. Cooney, and Gehrig. I In- season as a whole was very successful and the coach and mem¬ bers ot the team are to be congratulated on the fine showing they made. 5(yxr oc3oc3ocyyvyyyyx Page 7N Tennis s U NDER the able leadership of Captain Johnnie Meyer, Columbia closed a very successful tennis season, both from a standpoint of team play and of individual performances. With such men as Captain Meyers, Willging, and Kieler, Columbia put forth a team to be feared by any school. Consistency was the mark of these men. Captain Meyers was the outstanding player winning all his single matches and capturing the Iowa Conference singles championship in a man¬ ner befitting a winner. Paired with Kieler in the doubles these two men displayed a brand of tennis that could cope with the best in the conference. Willging, the other member of the team, was a consistent and clever player who would never admit defeat and his opponents had a wholehearted re¬ spect for his prowess as a tennis player. With a team of veterans back for next year we can feel assured that Columbia will again be represented by a winning team—a team worthy to uphold the tennis laurels of Columbia. r yx- xy xx xx yy yy xr rx P?«jL:e SO Intramural i Hack How: Gardner, .Jimmy Lynch.

Handball The Handball Club attained a posi¬ tion of prominence among local intra¬ mural athletics during 1 the past year, under the able leadership of President Schroeder and Secretary lluegelman. In September the call for handball players was issued and a large number responded. After a few weeks practice, the annual singles tournament was started and Gerald Schroeder won the championship lor the second consec¬ utive year, by defeating Ed. Eencl in the finals. The playing of such stars as Laur¬ ence Greteman, Freidman and others made the tournament doubly hard for the winner. I here was much interest created in the student body while the tournament was in progress. The sport enjoyed a good season due to the hearty co¬ operation f all the members with the officers of the club. I kick How: Ernsdorff, K reiser. Front How: Ileffernan, Hoyle, F 1 111 Icy.

The Seniors, who were unable to hit their stride until late in the schedule, pre¬ sented a strong team with Ahmann and Coffe as their best bets. During the course of the season the Soph A set a new high team record of 957. Ileffernan had the individual high score at 228 pins, while the in¬ dividual high average of 168 pins was made by Boyle.

Passball Indoor The class passball title for the sea¬ son of 1930 was again won by the Jun¬ iors under the leadership of “Johnnie” Kagan. This marks the third straight year for them as champs of the league. In the past season the third-year men won five games, losing one to the Frosh which was their second defeat in three years. The supremacy of the upperclassmen was due chiefly to the efforts of Fagan, Kieler, and Mullen. The Freshmen finished behind them in second place, while the Sophomores and Seniors took third and fourth places, respectively. The season as a whole was most sucessful, both in regard to the spirit¬ ed competition of the players and the enthusiastic interest taken by the stu¬ dent bodv Going through the season undefeat¬ ed the Sophomores carried off the hon¬ ors in the class indoor league, while next in line was the formidable Junior team, followed by the Senior and Freshmen teams. Although the Sophomores finished with a clean slate, it is not to be in¬ ferred that the race was not close, for it was much closer than the standings indicate. Under Captain “Reg Becker the Sophomores proved a powerful outfit. Consisting mainly of veterans, the winners had a good club, both of¬ fensively and defensively; but their abilitv to tighten up in the pinches was a big factor in winning the pen¬ nant. With each year there is a decidedly growing interest in this sport, which brings about harder fought games. S a a yx: -xx ype xxxx ra xx xxl xx - Basketball T HE intra-mural basketball crown has passed from the hands ol the Sophomores to the Seniors, who went through the past season un¬ defeated. Although the Senior (juintet won nine consecutive games they encountered strong opposition throughout the league from the Soph A, breshmen A, and Day Student A teams, who were tied for second place. Fitzgerald, captain of the fourth year men was high scorer of the season with lleffernan of Soph A and Jenn, Junior A, next in line. It was due to the accurate shooting of bitzgerald and the close guarding of Far icll and Klees that enabled the Seniors to come out on top. The annual tournament was marked with spirited competition and well Played games. Undoubtedly, there was more interest and pep in the games this ear, than those ot former years.

Acknowledgments A S THE present issue of the Purgold goes to press, we are confronted with a combination of relief and fear. The first is elicited by the completion of the long and sometimes irksome task of compiling the book; the last bv the apprehension attendant upon the issuing of the book, and the way in which it will be received. Undoubtedly, in the current edition, there are defects more visible to the reader’s eye than to the eyes of those upon whom has fallen the task oi building the book. However we trust that those who take up this book will realize that absolute perfection is not attainable, and view our efforts with an indulgent mind. To those capable staff members, the editors give praise and thanks for their loyal co-operation. To Mr. Yonkers of the Taylor-Bonkers Engrav¬ ing Co., and Mr. Lillie of the Telegraph-Herald we are especially grateful for their suggestions and excellent service. We are deeply indebted to I. Summers Lamless. ex 2 { ), who did the art work in such line fashion. And fmallv to Father Fitzgerald, our able faculty advisor, we give a vote of thanks for his whole hearted cooperation and valuable assistance. S L s? B B B x Business Manager....Wilbur J.

S Appreciation c S S I T IS a regrettable condition in connection with an edition of this sort that the meritorious and extremely necessary work of those who man¬ age the financial side of a publication goes with practically no laudation from its readers. It is needless to say that without the efficient aid of these individuals the Purgold would not be complete. Consequently to the very efficient Business Manager, Wilbur J. Coffey, and to the capable Advertising Manager, Arthur P Doyle, together with their corp of able assistants we are especially grateful, since it was their excellent work which made it possible for the editors to public this issue, with the minimum of difficulty over financial affairs. £ S fi r K We thank our advertisers for their loyalty and generosity in patron¬ izing our institution and its publications.

T HE LORIAN upheld its high standards throughout the sixth year of its existence and proved itself a real chronicle of events and a bond between student and alumni. The editors and staff proved themselves fully capable of the management of the bi-weekly publication, and through their efforts and enthusiastic co-operation the Lorian kept itself apace with the other activities of the College. The editors for the first and second semester were James J. Lynch and Lloyd I. Glass respectively. Mr. Glass served as assistant on the lirst sem¬ ester staff and at the semi-annual change of staff Robert Donavan was promoted from the associate staff to fill the assistant editor post which he has distinctively. Several changes were made in the associate staff through¬ out the year. The business staff was headed during the entire year by Paul Cooney, who showed himself an efficient manager in caring for the financial and advertising departments of the publication. Mark McCormick served as staff tvpist and aided greatlv in enabling the various issues to reach the printers. The Lorian conducted many interesting and new special columns and features which were well received by the readers. It emphasized cspeciallx during the year the necessity of having student opinion in its columns, and for this reason encouraged unbiased comment on various (juestions thiough the year. Through these columns great interest was aroused. The humor and athletic departments were made distinct from the associate staff at the beginning of the year and functioned very well, filling their allotted spaces with interesting items. Father M. M. Hoffmann served again as Moderator of the paper. Much credit is due to his timely constructive criticism and suggestions for im¬ provement.

The purpose of the organiz¬ ation is to consolidate Columbia’s day students into a religious, scholastic, social and recreational society. Meetings were held monthly at various places in the citv. At the initial meeting the officers were elected and various com- mittees were appointed. A few of the various committees were: Religious, Dramatic, Publicit} , Athletic, and Literary. The Religious Committee sponsored the reception ot Holy Communion on the First Fridays. A Dramatic production given in the College auditorium, under the auspices of the Dramatic Committee was a huge success. Numerous social gatherings were held during the year to at- ford entertainment. For the first time in the history of the organization, a representative was sent to the National Sodality Conference m Chicago. These are but a few of the numerous activities ot this active and ever¬ growing society. The officers are to be congratulated on the line spirit they have shown in furthering the organization, and the Moderator bather Preen merits especial praise for his interest and help in making the society flourish. f 8 8 8 8 8 y Y-x jol jx j( vx juT :giigzrH Pa.ue Ofi llack Row: Kehoe, Conway, Schmitz, L.yncli, Hogan, rront Row: Eulberg, Coan.

During the past year several informal gatherings oi the members were held through which the upperclassmen mingled togeth- ci promoting the spirit of goodfellowship which has alvvavs typified the society. At the hrst meeting of the year, held during the first quarter for the purpose of organization, an exceptionally large number of members were piescnt. I his meeting included the official welcoming of the Juniors to membership by the Seniors, and the stating of the purpose and rules of the sock t foi the benefit of the new men. After the business meeting an en¬ joyable program, largely extemporaneous, was presented which included many musical numbers, one-act farces, and readings. Fathers N. A. Steffen and E. J. 0 1 lagan were the principal speakers of the evening. The entertain¬ ment committee was composed of Louis Fautsch, John Hogan, and James Lynch. The refreshment committee, including John Eulberg, John Brickley, John Kehoe officiated for the remainder of the meeting at which time they served a very excellent lunch. I he Junior class found the final Forum meeting of the year opportune laic well to the departing Seniors. A fitting program was offered and as customary inviting refreshments were served.

Le Cercle Francais L 1C CERCLE FRANCAIS resumed its part in the College ' s activities early in the year. At the first meeting the Club ' s officers were chosen for the year. The election resulted in giving the office of president to James J. Lynch, that of vice-president to Robert Russell, that of secretary- treasurer to Frank Kless, and that of program committee chairman to Karl- ton Kelm. This latter committee was completed by appointment and in¬ cluded Walter Gauvin and Theodore Niemann. This club, which has for its purpose the furthering of interest in the French language, was founded in 1924, and since that time has taken an ac¬ tive part in college activities. ' This year was no exception. Many interest¬ ing programs were presented which proved themselves very instructive and informal as well as interesting. Students attending the meetings found themselves in a Parisiennc atmosphere where French songs were sung, among which the favorites appeared to be the national anthem, “La Mar¬ seillaise,” and several of the old French folk tunes; where the French par¬ liamentary rules of order governed the meeting, and where even the jokes tasted of French flavour. The programs at every meeting during the entire year without exception, continued to show the talent and progress made in the French language among the French Circle members. Reverend Or. Alphonse Dress as moderator and critic deserves a great amount of credit for the successful season which the Cercle Francais has enjoyed during the year.

The ample contribution tendered to the director of the national organization bespoke the gen¬ erosity of Columbia students, while the amounts realized from the various entertainments, social and athletic, compared favorably with those records of past years. Perhaps this year has witnessed a more active Unit than prev¬ iously, for the novel pamphlet sale was successfully inaugurated with Cath¬ olic literature being sent to converts, 11011 -Catholics as well as to Catholics. This was accomplished under our enthusiastic Dean, Reverend N. A Steffen, bather of our mission. It is a worthy organization which has done considerable good during the past year. Especial acknowledgement is due the worthy, considerate and cap¬ able officers, for handling their duties so well, and in bringing about such splendid results. Hack Row: Mullen, Sims, Raldus, Hanson.

The Mathematics Club D URING the year 1930, the Mathematics Club, which is one of the most active of the extra-curricular organizations in Columbia College, de¬ voted its meetings to the discussion of many interesting and instruc¬ tive topics. The enrollment of the Club has considerably increased during the past year, due to the fact that a large number of Freshmen became eligible for membership, as well as the interest taken by the upper classmen. The real aim of this organization is to bring together students who are interest¬ ed in the study of mathematics, one of the oldest of sciences. Five meetings were held during the past school year. The activities of the Club opened in the first meeting held October 21. At the first gather¬ ing. held in honor of the Golden Jubilee of the Incandescent lamp, the papers read were concerned particularly with the origin and the development of this extremely important invention. very interesting resume of the life of Tho¬ mas A. Edison, the inventor of the Incandescent lamp, was also read. Various topics, that were prepared and discussed by the members of the Club at the several meetings held, were: “Development of the Automobile,” “Visiting the Planets,” “Eclipses of the Sun,” and “Noteworthy Comets of the Past Century.” . Father Theobald, who helped to make this organization a reality in 1923, deserves much credit for actively participating in all the meetings, and in aiding the members to obtain interesting material for their papers.

The Vested Choir T HE VESTED CHOIR has for twenty-two vears admirably upheld the fame and prestige of Columbia in the field of Choral singing. Xot only does it excel in Church and liturgical music, a large part of which com¬ prises plain chant, but likewise in the rendition of the works of Old Masters. These works are for the most part four-voiced compositions, tolk songs, and madrigals, which bring to us the very first great attempts in harmonic choral endeavor. It has always been the ambition of the choir to interpret these selections in the same spirit with which they were written. In the accom¬ plishment of this ideal lies the organization’s greatest success. In addition those modern composers whose works are of especial merit are also studied. This season, although handicapped by the loss of many of last year’s best members thru gradu¬ ation, the reverend director, Dr. Dress succeeded in bringing to perfection an organization of exceptional ability. Under his inspiration and careful training throughout the winter and early spring, a unique and varied program was built up. The exquisite handling of the Palm Sunday ser¬ vice at the Cathedral was only augmented at the in vestiture of the new archbishop. hollowing this a number of concerts were presented throughout the which brought deserving commendation to Co- iumbia’s choir an l its indomitable director.

Here at Columbia we have an orchestra which has delighted us many a time. Under the artistic director, Pro¬ fessor Edward Schroeder, the ensemble has worked diligently and perpetu¬ ally, and to Professor Bonifazzi and Miss Ruth Harrigan, both active in the musical department with Professor Schroeder, much praise is warranted. The orchestra was organized in 1880. Since then it has flourished, giv¬ ing to those students of talent, a means of expression under competent direction. Yearly the orchestra has grown in size and in artistry, and now it is to Colum¬ bians and their friends, a source of educational and musical inspiration. We can truthfully say that no matter at what l ei 1 ormancc the orchestra appeared, it never failed to please. In fact there are very few colleges the sizi oi Columbia which can boast of an orchestra at a a, ‘ ,,roachin S llu ‘ Muality of our own. n,. of .

So to the interested director of the Loras Crusaders praise is given, for having presented to Co¬ lumbia and to the public, the season’s most outstanding drama, “Sun Up,” an utterly artistic, highly dramatic, poignant tale of the Carolina feuds, dwarfed by the almost unconvincing yet tragic presence of the World War. The play proved something different in itself, as well as something different in the professional interpretations of a splendid cast, artistically, thoroughly directed. The feud rages in the Carolina Hills. Rut a daughter of the one fam¬ ily, and a son of the other, meet, love, and marry. Still the widowed mother hates and demands revenge. The World War dawns; mountaineers must enlist and join the colors. The illiterate old Mother cannot understand—to Europe? Who are those Germans? Eight others when blood cries for ven¬ geance at home? But her son goes with his trusty old gun. He remains to “sleep over there.” Vivid interspersions there are, giving color pathos, in¬ tensity to the play. William Mullen, as the daughter, was excellent. His portrayal of the difficult feminine role was especially fine. We expect much from him in future productions. As the local sheriff we met Karl Schroeder, whose un¬ derstanding and versatility added in no small way to the play’s success. And of course Louis Fautsch as the “old timer” was characteristic. McNally gave a splendid interpretation of the old woman’s son ; his acting was most effective and commendable. Angelo Kerper as the convincing half-wit made his debut in college dramatics, and by his sincerity and evident ability indi¬ cates promise for the future. A difficult role was creditably and subtly por¬ trayed by John Evans. To prepare this extremely difficult play and present it so capably and so well was not the work of a moment. Every cast member showed that he had been well coached. The scenery for this production was especially con¬ structed for the occasion, and very realistically represented the interior of a Carolina hills cabin. The set together with the accompanying properties and costumes all served to make a unified presentation, perfect in every de¬ tail and added especially to the local color of the drama. To the cast and to the able director, Father Breen, we offer congratu¬ lations; also to those hidden behind the scenes whose proficiency approached art. In Columbia dramatics verily it was “Sun Up.” y r—r?—snr xx xx w yrg—xx. £ Pane 1n7 Jack Dunbar . Dick Dunbar . Nicholas Small G. Jolyon ... Mrs. Jolyon .

Blow Your Own Horn” By Owen Davis A Comedy In Three Acts CAST OF CHARACTERS iac jor : jot _ :ioL.. :_im: joc Tor orHti P:ip, InS “Blow Your Own Horn” B LOW YOUR OWN HORN” provoked laughter and favorable com¬ ment. It thoroughly entertained the crowd. Lines were clever, stu¬ dents impersonated creditably, and the stage settings were good Father O’l lagan characteristically directed and to him and to his faithful cast, merit is due. To prove the play was amusing is to say Louis Fautsch was there. He shared honors with Heinz, the clever Academic, and who as iollv tramp- brothers. meet the talented actor, Schroeder, a wealthy “New Yawker” who fancies them and to amuse himself advises and insists on their blowing their own horns. With the four hundred the Ritz is won—the tramps are fawned upon, loved ; esteemed blase wreckers of Pierce Arrows. But the truth “out- cc p’_the brothers found out the rest—they departed—one with a wife, happily. Wilbur Coffev and Clement Preen as the super-salesmen were the source of a great deal of comedy. John Evans as the mechanical-minded suitor for the hand of the heroine, gave a splendid interpretation of this difficult role. Clarence Crowlcv, Paul O’Neill, Herbert Willging, all new to the college s tan-. and Henry Kingsley, a veteran impersonator, were excellent in their female roles. Donald Romer, well known to Dubuque audiences, played the part of a social climber in a very realastic manner. While the cast in extenso was suitable, Mullen and McNamara needs be especially praised. The humor, the novelty of united appearances, the good will manifested, kept the audience in excellent spirits. Our modern American psychology of “be different and step up with the best of them” was cleverly illustrated, and furnished a play at least refreshing and moving. To the stage crew who neatly and efficiently did their duty, appreciation is given ; to the able director and the sincere cast congratulations on a ser¬ vice well done. yv- w xxl xx xx yy x x. jm .judz Fa e 100 yy ' 3p The Man Without a Head T HIS play was given as one of the skits of the Mission Unit Vaudeville, held on November 27-29. It is a one act play, and is unique in as much as it is a comedy, tragedy, and farce combined. We see the interior of an old French chateau. It is evening and the ■whispering winds gently move the curtains which hang from the tall win¬ dows at the rear. If we listen we hear a name, scarcely breathed—Eloise. J he house is not deserted, for now we see a servant, lie wears sabots and they echo at each step through the halls that we imagine run in either direction. He mutters to himself, but we can barely hear. 1 hen their is action. Two American travelers, who are ex-soldiers, enter. I hey are lost and want to find a place to stay for the night. Jacques, the servant ponders. We feel uneasy, he is hiding something from us, something horrible, and sad—we sense it from his actions. And indeed when he speaks it is a sad and horrible story. The sacking of the Chateau bv the Germans in the war, and then the decapitation of the Master of the house. And then hardly above a sigh, the servant says, “Rut each night he returns.” The effect of this on the travelers is carried to the audience and we know for ourselves the thrills we know arc to follow. Rut now the Americans are busy. One seems to be a nervous wreck. He simply radiates uneasiness in these uncanny surroundings. The slight¬ est movement of the drapes sends him into hysterics. His partner is any¬ thing but sympathetic, in fact he rather delights in scaring the other. With¬ out any need he drops his suitcase, bangs a door, while the poor cumpan- !on simply writhes with imaginary horrors. From now the theme moves quickly. There is the exchange of pistols, and one of them we glean from the dialogue, is loaded with blanks. Then there is a series of wails from the wind—or is it the wind? We notice that k active American is absent. I hen the door like windows slowly open and there stands the Man without a Head. Gu n shots, shrieks, the sound of a falling body. Then when we look .i -i o 1at t lC P?° r mai ? w th the nery us has fallen dead from the shock, 0 the man without a head turns out to he his friend in disguise. When e lc ain oui composure we see Jacques calmlv rearranging the table in the center of the room, and the curtain falls. .

Mere is a school which is homelike in spirit, American in policy; a school which stands for the classics, the studies which discipline the mind and make lor culture; a school where scholastic standards are respected and athletics not neglected, where students are taught how ' to 1 ecreate with profit both to body and mind; a school equipped with men teachers to whom the boy is of even greater interest than the subject; where character formation is paramount, where religion is not merely a class room subject but is made the motivating principle of daily life ; a school which has stood the test of over half a century; a school located in one of the oldest, the most Cath¬ olic and the most scenic of the mid-west cities, with splendid railroad facilities, a home city; such is the school we love, our Alma Mater, Columbia A cad cm v. a x . xx xX. xx YY yy yx Pa kg 12fi a ST.

Older men lend stability and help to carry over traditions. Columbia’s President is completing this June his twenty-eighth year of service to the institution. Our Vice- President is completing his twenty-fifth year of teaching. Unsparingly and persever- ingly these two men have given their priestly services to the students. The lit. Rev. Monsignor Conry was ordained December 17. 1898. After an assist- ancy at the Cathedral, he came to the college in 1901. For twenty-two years he taught English. He became vice-president in 191 si, and president in May, 1924. In January, 1926, he received the rank of Domestic Prelate. The Rev. A. R. Thier was ordained December 21, 1901. He then spent two and a half years in Rome, where he received the degree J.C.D. In September, 1904, he be¬ gan his teaching career. He has long been acting as treasurer; and in October, 1924, was appointed vice-president. Our Superiors Academy Faculty REV. FATHER A. R. THIER Vice President RT. REV. MSGR. T.

But we graduates of the class ol 3 ha e aimed at a full realization of the fact that Columbia Academy, as an ideal school foi oung men, delves more deeply into the matter and unearths for her pupils a course that pi ov ides for the practical application of religious principles to daily life. As we take our stand on the threshold of our Alma Mater and bid farewell, there (lash belore oui minds the pleasant events of four years. The most stirring and practical of these recollections pertain to our putting on of Christ. While many of our prayers and deeds are guarded secrets whispered dur¬ ing chapel visits or retreats, we can fondly recall those numerous activities that served to deepen our reverence and charity. Foremost among these is our Academy Mission program with its magazine drive, distribution of good literature and active participa¬ tion in the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Not. only has our interest in tor- eign fields been kindled by our cooperation with and supervision ol such work, but zeal for the fulfillment of the duties of our future parish iife has certainly been forth¬ coming from our faithful attendance as groups of seniors at the local St. incent De Paul meetings. Though our deeds are unpublished we feel that the efforts have been constant and are more precious because of their hidden accomplishment. And now our mind’s eye portrays for us our classical advancements. From the records, we discover that ten is the aveiage number of our classmen that have graced the honor roll each year, and this in addition to the facts that 10 per cent of our class have completed a full Latin course and that our first year honor record of 16 men of merit for one six weeks is as yet unbeaten. In four years, 20 of our literary lights have distinguished themselves in the literary contests, one class writer having merited a gold medal and three silver medals. These same composers, together with other ambitious journalists, have changed from a trio of sophomores on the Cee-Ay staff to a position whereby they operate as the main executives for both the Cee-Ay and this, our annual, the Purgold. Even more noteworthy is the fact that this Academy section represents almost in its entirety, the work of the senior students. Nor, in truth, have our musical talents stagnated. Our fellow devotees to this art have served as mainstays in the choir and bairn, the latter a creation well supported in its first year of existence by our class, as juniors. Neither have our dramatists been idle, for “ r l he Fortune Hunter,” a senior presentation, will abide in posterity as symbolic of the heights to which Academy Thespians can rise. At last our hearts are filled with memories as we picture a four-year athletic his¬ tory of the Gubs,” a period which saw both the name and battle-song innovated and the victories of which changed our battling machines from college additions to squads meriting four state championships and a national “Best Coached Team” award. The pictures are accelerated. A fleeting glance of the class athletes bearing aloft nearly a dozen monograms, a school tennis champion for three years and a climaxing view of eight, mythical all-state men. All Ibis from one class. The curtain closes; voices are raised; and tin audience of graduates, with their twofold motto of “Pro Deo et Patria,” go forth to spread the glory of their Alma Ma¬ ter, by putting into daily practice the principles of old Columbia. .— Ci.

Uninfluenced by the pop¬ ular trend toward specialization, that monster cre¬ ator of single topic geniuses, this institution relies on its language and science courses to remove rough edges and produce well-balanced men of letters. Mathematics and its chair of brother sciences necessi¬ tate imaginative reasoning, accuracy and minor logic, char¬ acteristics that far outweigh the machine movements in¬ voked by stenographic courses. The languages, aside from revealing the reasoning of great minds and acquainting one with the background of the past, cultivate mental habits and through the medium of literature open storehouses of thought, inspiration and relaxation. Then from a utilitar¬ ian viewpoint, the languages must be considered as instru¬ ments of research, invaluable for professional men. Certain extra-curricular organizations conveniently align themselves with the object of the course. The literary students indulge in short-story, verse and essay competi¬ tion or contribute to the Cee-Ay and Purgold. The forensic artists enter the Elocution contests and participate in Dra¬ matic Club activities. With certain definite success, the Academy nurtures a classical program, coupled with extra¬ class activities, exclusive of athletics, that presents to the pupils the practical side of their training, and annually emits a cluster of glowing spheres.

I he director-general ot affairs, Father Striegel, feels that our annual has advanced another step on the “primrose path to perfection. But now for identifications and more news of progress. The editorial men were chosen competitively. A veteran, Gordon Saun¬ ders, was honored with editorship-in-chief while Eagle, Trow and Dick Nash covered sports. Scho¬ lastic activities occupied Ed. Palen. Clarence Mc¬ Mahon. Gindorf, Doran, Melchior, O’Leary, Carney and Ed. Schroeder, the latter pair with Swartzel compiling a page of appreciations. After lengthy searching, a clever sketching quartet composed of Joe Kleiner, B. Nash, Fabish and Leary was unearthed. They labored pains¬ takingly to outdo the snapshooting Junior mem¬ bers, Lyons and Neil sen. No financial difficulties were encountered with such super-salesmen as Kanne , Heinricy, G. Bark¬ ley, A.

This snappy and interesting four-page issue is the faithful herald of all Academy activities. It is a student publication which affords an outlet for those interested in writing. All of the staff positions are competitive. Rev. Father H. Long, addicted to paper work, has utilized the Cee-Ay as the basis of a high school course in journalism. His co¬ workers in its edition, Bernard Nash, Editor-in- Chief, and Edward Pah n. Managing Editor, both specialists along poetic lines, composed and super¬ vised with equal vigor. The associate editors, young men with special aptitude for writing, were Gordon Saunders and Edward Schroeder. The busi¬ ness end of the work was upheld by John O’Leary who proved an efficient Circulation Manager. The productions of such men as Trow, Leary. A. Kelly, Weimer, Lyons, Graber, Pauly, O’Rourke, and Raker continually adorned the pages of this “Gubs Herald” and were an important factor in its success. This exerpt, one of many from outside school papers, is typical of the impression Columbia Academy’s news edition creates among its ex¬ change readers: “The ‘Cee-Ay’ from Columbia Academy, a splendidly balanced publication, cer¬ tainly ranks as a first class High School paper.” E.

Some three years ago, a small group of boys gathered together for their first in¬ structions in voice. These boys formed the nucleus of an “up and coming” organiza¬ tion To-day, we witness a glee club that has progressed from simple one-voiced music to the intricacies of quadruple harmony. This success is due primarily to Father Em¬ mett Kelly, who has worked incessantly for the betterment of the organization. B B B s B B B The Glee Club promises to be a big factor in preparing our Catholic young men for parish life. It is heart and soul behind the great Liturgical movement of the Church, which aims to incorporate all the faithful in its devotional life. Working, as they are, with this movement, it can easily be seen what a tremendous amount of good they can accomplish in this field alone. Another reason behind their insistent work is the fact that each and every member wants to hear good and efficient music rendered at the academy services. Needless to say, the the singing has of late become nothing short of inspirational. This modern age is tending towards sensualism, and modern music interprets the • :, ot - the times. Where once music was a means of expressing the noblest thoughts f man now it has drifted into sentimentalism. The Choir is studying only the best if Church music and is striving to bring music back to its true standard.

The remarkable development of the Museum encouraged tin- formation of a College-Academy organization, or Columbia Mu¬ seum.

The Museum is composed of an Educational-Historical Divi¬ sion. a Religious Division and the Division of Practical and Applied Sciences.

This princip’e. although operative in daily life, is Inten¬ sively cultivated through aclivi participation in the Church ' s of¬ ficial life. The Academy encour¬ ages each resident student to serve Mass, and it is traditional that each Senior take his turn in serving the community Mass Father Duggan has charge of the Mass servers. Only a seminarian in minor orders has the right to serve Mass: for all others it is a spe¬ cial privilege. Then. too. the server enters more intimately into the action of the Mass. Conscious of this fact, all Co¬ lumbia students appreciate the privilege of serving Mass. .1.

MAY 1930 THE DRAMATIC CLUB To solve the dramatic prob¬ lem. a new plan was inaugur¬ ated at the Academy this year. Instead of restricting the cul¬ tural values of a training in dramatics to a select few. it was decided to incorporate the whole student body. Those who re¬ ceived the ca ' l to demons!rate their ability in any particular play were honored as active members. Xew successes were achieved tinder the aide direction of Father McDonald. “The Grill. a one-act play, was a pleasing and entertaining drama, with just enough mystery to bathe the audience. The cast, composed of Melvin Doran, Francis Rice, Carney and John Fabish, han¬ dled their parts like profession¬ al . As a climax to a successful year, “The Fortune Hunter was presented. This four-act Play was a real test of the Thes¬ pian ability of Academy stu¬ dents. With James Carney, .John Oberhauser, George Toner, John ronin, and Lester Cooling in the leading roles, the presenta¬ tion was a hugh success. J.

To supply this in¬ centive to her pupils in their personal development. Columbia Academy invites yearly a num¬ ber of business and professional men, former graduates, to give a series of vocational talks. Each man cxpinims his own life’s work, the requirements for success therein, and the possi¬ bilities for good. These talks are full of wisdom. They help to clear up many of the students’ dilllciill ics and offer fresh in¬ spiration for work. The Seniors of nineteen thirty are deeply grateful to these men for their interest and valuable informat ion. W. Melchior y ra: y y y w w jm Page l. r ,2 Honor Roll Hack Row: Brodeur. Relink. G.

For this purpose there are three distinct types of contests; the oratorical, the dramatic, and the humorous The six best speakers in each division compete to determine the entrants in the final contest two from each division. This year’s Oratorical representatives were Clarence McMahon and John Kessler; Humorous, Francis Rice and Aloysius Beckius; Dramatic John Fa- bish and James Carney. The gold medal was won by Cl.

They are simple evidences of a great handicap, lack of experience in appearing before the public. Perhaps you may ask where a person can come to know this strange, teacher-like thing called experience. Columbia Academy students are introduced to experience early in their Freshman and Sophomore years. At regular intervals, interpretative reading and memorization contests are held before an audience. In this manner the students are introduced to “Mr. Experience.” Lack of experience is there, for the first few contests, in the disguised form of shaking knees and blushing cheeks. After the first few contests, experience begins to accompany the students, and timidity and its sisters disappear. The students have exchanged them for a new friend and a priceless asset, self-confidence. Kodak Club Ruck Row: H. Anderson, Ready, Gorman, Shedivy. Second Row: R.

It has always been the aim of Columbia Academv in 0 „nm . nlorP fully Full living, of course, is the resultant of many influences but a ‘fuller life may have its source in any one or several of them. Thus it is th . lt , , to develop in her students both the ability to appreciate the w� . 1 kJ, SePkS of others and the ability to impart such thought to others. She does this by ' means of writing and speaking contests. Primarily, these contests give practice Thev are very helpful and the superiority of those who enter them over those who do not is al ways quite evident. ’ Writing, however, is a cultural art. To be a writer, one must be a reader and therefore, he not only gains an appreciation of the style of masters, but he also gains an appreciation of their thought. Then too. writing clarifies thought, it develops in the writer a conciseness and preciseness of expression which enables him to accur¬ ately put his thoughts into words. Above all, writing is a noble art. The able and high-minded writer can influence whole communities and even whole countries to good and can leave behind him monuments which will always lift up the eyes of men to¬ ward better things. .. . R. Swartzel. Dramatics The study of dramatics, for young men, is both delightful and cultural. The drama is a form ot liteiai ait which portrays human actions and character through individ¬ ual impersonation. In fact, it is a high-powered educator and entertainer. It not only affords one a wholesome recreation, but it develops imagination and ability to judge the actors on life’s stage. Participation in plays is very valuable. It gives one ease before an audience, self confidence and poise, together with experience in speaking. Pest of all, it helps one to view things through the eyes of his characters. These are helpful qualities to carry into life. The student who looks ahead, who is interested in self development, will avail himself of every opportunity to participate in school plays. J. Carney. Music “Music,” some one has said, “is the language of the soul. It is acquainted with every grief and woe. It touches every chord of sympathy. It contains the spiritual biography of every human heart. It is suited to all temperaments.” On His sixth day of creation, God endowed man with a soul that will exist eter¬ nally as a likeness of Himself. In heaven the lyre and cymbal vibrate as instruments of praise and on earth man, overflowing with emotions that arise from the depths of his soul, turns to symphonic prayer in the form of music. This music is a part of the soul of man and is the only way in which he can adequately express his feelings. It wafts one away in a tonal bark—away to the realms of happiness and forgetfulness away where the soul may roam unaccompanied by the body. Perhaps it is the vehicle that transports us nearer to heaven than any other: perhaps we have looked into the first joys of God ' s home without having been fully aware of it. It is strange — this powerful something. Mayhap its value lies in forgetfulness and then again it may be because of the originator. And who is this originator? Across the mystical plains of eternity I hear a strange wind sighing. It seems to trum a full celestial tune, a tune carrying the atmosphere of its Maker. It is strange—this wonderful something. Ed.

F ROM the days of the muscular contests at Olympia to this age of speed requiring strong human systems for the support of over-taxed nerves, the object of physical exercise has been and still is expressed by the brief phrase, “Mens Sa¬ na in corpore sano.” How fortunate the youth who obtains a healthy physique through the pleasant and natural medium of athletics, whether inter or intra scholastic. Rut the benefits derived do not cease with a sound body, nor with a training toward a wholesome recreation tor the future, nor with valuable social contacts. Surely those well-knit young fellows operat¬ ing under the Academy’s organized sport course are accumulating character. Their attitudes gradually evolve until we note a consideration for others, prompt execution of orders, desire for fair-play, courage, resourcefulness, honesty, or coolness under fire as characteristic qualities of their play. And how usetul such deeply-rooted habits of action will be! I he man who breaks up a game with a safe hit can command a steady hand in a delicate operation or biing about a coup to suddenly alter the fortunes of a legal client. I hus each season, to the benefit of the students, the “Hubs” banner is flown over our fort and a spir¬ ited war-cry resounds, reaching distant ears as a fearless challenge to the foe. G. Saunders 8 hoc yy 5 3 Gub Staff FATHER PATNODE The magnet of our athletic circle is this mighty wielder of the business pen that regularly constructs for our aspir¬ ing youths a comprehensive diagram for their intramural and inter-scholastic play. He guides his student assistants in their work a nd compiles tournaments and schedules that meet with as much success as his cheerfulness does among the students. Then, too, the measure of his renown is amplified when we consider his positions of honor — a presidency of the Paiochia! School League, secretaryship of the Diocesan High School Athletic Association, and as a fitting cliniiix. a chairmanship of the Board of Control of the Iowa Ca n- olic High School Association. COACH CRETZMEYER In the past few years the spotlight of fame has focused its beams upon the countenance of the one and only “By Gubs” Cretzmeyer. With his unceasing fervor and a dis¬ cipline that has appealed to his charges during the entire course of his 20 years of labor, this builder of battlers has well merited the honors reverting to him from state cham¬ pionship, seasons without defeat, and a best, coached team award in the Loyola Tournament. Nor has this season been without triumphs. A Catholic state championship in football, another in basketball, and a dark horse entrant that terrorized National Tournament favorites. FATHER COYNE A toast of recognition to the “silent” partner in the coaching of “Gub” squads. Throughout the record of championships and awards, the workings of this assistant coach mark him as Cretz’s retiring counselor and a mem¬ ber of the athletic staff who possesses an intricate knowl¬ edge of “sports as participated in by ranking players. In him we find an untangler of labyrinthian athletic difficul¬ ties, with ample experience and a method that so meshes with Sir John s as to enable this competent assistant to take charge of a team at a crucial period and guide its destiny with success that earns the approval of the silver- haired “Chief. FATHER LONG Singular honors of athletic and scholastic merit have come to the Academy in the past. The advertisement and heralding of such achievements and events has rested up¬ on the shoulders ot the Academy’s imaginative journalist, poet, and editorial composer. With the kind cooperation of “Scoop” Wilhelm, the familiar local sports editor, our publicity manager has set the name “Gubs” within the sight and hearing of local, state and even national aud¬ iences. Nor has the ingenuity ol a fame-broadcaster been uncultivated in this writer. Last year it was a balloon race that ended in Massachusetts; this season, a visit by an All-American halfback. Columbia’s banner waves on high, and credit must re¬ turn to the selector of the flag-staff. 8 8 a H. KC a w rx- Pago Ir.n Hr rxr rx vx yy nt xx jo tHH I :ick Row: T. Donah no, R.

El I wander. Football Season Displaying a type of football reminiscent of the age-old fighting spirit of Colum¬ bians, the Gubs inaugurated the 1929 season by playing the giant St. Bede’s team to a scoreless tie. Traveling to Freeport, the fast-stepping Dubuquers defeated Acquin High 13 to 0. On their return to the local stamping grounds, the Columbians scored a spectacular 13 to 0 victory over the highly touted Emmetsburg eleven. While wrecked by ineligibilities, the Academy eleven lost a hard fought game to the heavier Pio Nono team by the score of G to 0. Barkley bore the brunt of a Columbia offense that reeled off fifteen first downs to Pio Nono’s nine. Then, playing at Des Moines, the splendidly coached Gub machine scored a sensational 18 to 6 win over the heretofore undefeated Catholic Academy eleven. Next, in a gridiron classic on the local field, Cretz’s boys galloped to a 12 to 6 win over Wayland Academy. The brilliant playing of Barkley, Columbia’s triple threat scoring ace. featured the contest. Finally the Gubs invaded Davenport and with a clear title to the Catholic prep championship at stake lost a bitterly fought, thrill-packed game to St. Ambrose 20 to 4. Perhaps the outstanding feature of this year’s team was the spirit of unity which prevailed. It was not exceptional material or individual stars, but rather teamwork and the will to win, which account for the season’s success. The dual captaincy sys¬ tem was a splendid innovation. E.

This is George, “The Academy’s Inimitable.” GEORGE TONER, ’30—A local anaesthetic who, as center, paralyzed the immediate forces of the foe for a two season period. An all-state lineman who charged to victory and by his never failing pluck inspired his charges to imitate his staunchness. A member of the Barkley, Toner and Knox Stabilizing Commission for Single Purposed Teams. CECIL McMAHON, 31—A Pubuquer, the junior cog in a vicious backfield. This hus¬ ky, when not paving the way to touchdowns, was smashing and dodging to gain more yardage for his team. Anotner Glib who has enkindled the imaginations of those who await future battles. TOM DONAH IE, ’31 —A physical specimen who acquired tin Cretzmeyer method and a co-captaincy in a single season. This silent tower ol strength, hailing from Tabor, S. D., is a tackle.

To accommodate her football enthusiasts, the Academy has arranged two leagues with members of the faculty as coaches. More a B B a a a than 165 students participated this year. The Major League was composed of two teams, RusseUers and Dodgers. The Rus- sellers, coached by Father Coyne, and represented in the above cut, were crowned 1929 Champs. The Dodgers, coached by Father Striegel, were Pitzen, Kerper, G. Saunders, Pinger, Kinnelly, W. Weber, J. Cunningham, Genzler R. Palen, Pauly, Cal¬ lahan, Traynor, Kutsell, V. Meyer. Reifsteck, and O’Dowd. The fighting Dodgers, though green, offered strong opposition to the heavier and more experienced Russell- ers. Much prospective varsity material was uncovered. Takace was a plunger, Con¬ ner had speed and an accurate eye for passes, Pinger was strong defensively, while Propsom was a good offensive man. But it remained for “Mickey” McDonald, Rus- seller quarterback, to combine these and many more factors in his play. In the final and deciding game, the Russellers cinched the Championship by the overwhelming margin of 32-0. However, the fighting spirit of the Dodgers promises to be back next year for vengeance. Gordon Saunders, whose cool-headedness and hard tackling made him feared by all opponents, was outstanding among the Dodgers. The backbone of their defense and a major cog in the offensive mach- B B B B X x r ine, he well deserved the Captaincy of the All-State Team. This team, as cho¬ sen by the Cee-Ay, was composed of Pinger, Gorman, Smith, J. Cunningham, P. Propsom, Gonner, McDonald, Kinnel¬ ly, Volz, Takace and G. Saunders. In a post-season banquet, tendered by the Athletic Department to the letter winners, thirty-two monograms were awarded, sixteen to each team. J. Trow.

Here the elements of tootball are taught to the beginners, and the science of football to those who lack sufficient physical development to become members of the Major League. This is the melting pot ot the Academy. It is in these games of the smaller fellows that they learn the rules of sportsmanship and are molded into true “Gubs.” ' I ' lie school was fortunate in having a large number of players in this league. Three teams were formed, the champion Midgets, coached by John Collins, Colum¬ bia College, aie repiesented in the cut on this page. The Little Warriors, coached by Father Enzler, were composed ot Cullen, Haverland, Schneider, Ryan, McMullen, Gal¬ lagher, Conzett. Birkett, Voelker, Beringer, Nicks, J. Becker, Mann, Willging, J. Mur¬ phy, C. Meyer, F. Becker, Buol and Maley. The Boarders were represented by the 1 eenie Weenies, who were Father Churchill’s fighting understudies. Members of this team were Traub. Fogerty, Ready, Hinckley, Graber, Stubstad, A. Kelly, J. Propsom, Mullally, Morris, E. Donahue, Mueller, C. Kelly, C. O’Brien, Farrell, J. O’Brien, Heinz, McAndrews, H. Crubel, and Sutara. Although the toices ol the Day Dodgers w ' ere divided, they overcame the Board¬ ers and won first place. In the championship game the Midgets proved to be the class of the division by a margin of (i-0. £ r s r r a KV XX XX XX Here again rivalry tor all-star honors was keen. The Cee-Ay found that eleven places were entirely inadequate to reward the meritorious work of the youngei fellows. Therefore, Cullen, R. Saunders, Conzett, H. Anderson, Sutara, Graber, Ryan, Ernsdorff, Mueller, Bir¬ kett, G. Meyer, and C. Weitz were named all-stars. Cooling wus selected as captain. At the football banquet tendered by the Athletic Department and presided over by Fr. Patnode, fortye-ight mono¬ grams were awarded. J. Trow. Page 1C 5 s M X Captain-Elect R.

Coach Kelleher with his green Academy team made a very creditable showing. Coincidentally, McAleer and J. Gallagly, members of that first team, met again on the local hardwood as coaches of opposing teams in the recent Diocesan Tournament. Two ot that original team were later captains and stars of the college teams. f ' The first schedule was necessarily small and the games were all played on for¬ eign floors. From this rather humble beginning, there have been great developments. The Academy cage card to-day presents an inviting schedule; the club’s equipment is £ “a la Notre Dame.” n After Prof. Kelleher, Father Patnode, the Napoleon of Academy athletics, took over the basketball reins. In 1924 and 1925 the Academy fives were coached by Max Kadesky. Under Father Sheehy the Academy team made its first all-American entry appearance in a National Tournament. Since 1925, Mr. Cretzmeyer has controlled the destinies of Academy teams. Under the guidance of the above named geniuses, win¬ ning teams have been turned out with such a pleasing regularity that they have be¬ come almost traditional. The brand of basketball played by the Gub fives in the past is clearly shown by their tournament records. In 1925 and in 192N the Columbia basketeers fought their way through all opposi¬ tion to win the Diocesan Tournament, but were nosed out at file Loyola Tournament. In 1929 the Columbia five, again the Diocesan champions, won the trophy for the best- coached team in the National Catholic Tournament. In 1930 the Academy five after experiencing one of the poorest seasons in years came through in spectacular fashion to cop the Diocesan and State Championships and to be picked as the class of the National Tournament. From the past Academy basketball teams many of Columbia College’s cage stars have been recruited. Since the organization of basketball at the Academy the junior purple and gold fives have furnished on the average of from two to four players on the College squad each year. Such luminaries as Kellogg, Kieler, Finley, O’Connor, Mor¬ gan and Schwartz got their start at the Academy. a a Pago 1GG xx- xx. xj( w Page 167 zzzgsfTOfo: y Hack Row: Rather Coyne, Gonner, .1.

Basketball Season Handicapped by the loss of all the regulars of last year ' s great quintet, the Colum¬ bia Academy cagers experienced a very mediocre season. St. Thomas and St. Ambrose scored double victories over the Gub five, and the Columbians divided games with St. Patrick’s, Acquin, St. Wenceslaus, and Monticello. The locals conquered St. Mary’s and tied Platteville, for a season’s total of five wins, eight defeats and one tie. Responding at last to the wizardy of Coach Cretzmeyer, the Gubs flashed through four successive games to enter the Diocesan Tournament finals. Before a capacity crowd ol 3 , 000 , the pie-tournament favorites, St. Mary’s of Waterloo, were overwhelm¬ ed, 31 to 12, by an inspired Columbia team. The 1930 Diocesan Tournament was note¬ worthy for its superior brand ot basketball and the increased following of the teams. Entering the State 1 ournament, the rejuvenated Gubs gave an exhibition of brilliant teamwork in defeating Boone 20 to 11. With R. Barkley, Leary and Knox in the star¬ ring spotlight, the Columbia cohorts blazed their way to the state championship, sink¬ ing St. Mary’s ol Ottumwa 20-1X. Playing at the National Tournament, ' the smoothly working Gub combination upset the dope and defeated Neuman High, New York, 27 to 17. Featuring a near perfect defense, the classy Columbia quintet, led by the sen¬ sational G. Barkley, counted tv ice in the closing seconds to snatch an 11 to 10 win from Loyola of Chicago. But then the fighting Gubs, the idols of the tournament, sorely tuckered after an unequaled record of nine consecutive tournament wins in 13 successive days, crumpled before the Hoosier Jasper five, 2A to 16.

The “Ponies” reflected the clever coaching of Father Long and pulled through to a record season. “The Little Giants are a great team,” says their All-American coach, George Bark¬ ley. And they were! Coining from behind to win was their specialty. Good work, Giants! The 2C basketeers copped the Minor League championship; IB the Major.

Track The Columbia “Speed Demons” ol 1929 had a successful track season. Reflecting on the past schedule, we can safely say that we had a great team. The first meet with Plattevillc was lost bv a small margin. The big star of the meet was our inimitable George Barkley. I lie C. A. C. meet at St. Ambrose was a thriller—and a lieartbreaker for Colum¬ bia. 1 lie Academy was leading by one point at the beginning of the relay—after—54 to 50 in favor ol Campion. “Doughty George” Barkley was high scorer of the meet with 24 points. The Mississippi Valley meet was a triumph for Columbia and George Barkley. George performed miracles that day. He smashed three records, doing ten flat in the century, 6 leet in the high jump. 21 feet 5 inches in the broad jump.

Why?—because they have special advantages for both their resident and their day students. Here, the resident student finds an entirely new environment, one in which self-reliance and respect tor the rights of others are absolute necessities. Selfishness cannot flourish here, and provincialism is lost in the swell of the broadened acquaintance which it provides. To live in harmony with all the types ot students represented, one must become tact¬ ful and a good judge of men. 1 he other advantages are common to both classes ol students. First of all, there is that education which is gained from contact with companions from different cities and states. Boys at day schools can acquire this only by considerable travel. Then, too, there are many activities for the benefit of the board¬ ers in which the day students may share. In these, a close, reverential contact is made with the teach¬ ers, who are men of character. They are often priests, and they are always able to guide the student along the lines ot proper development. Participation in these cultural activities, and association with men of refinement and judgment, give the boy an increased capacity to appreciate the finer things of life. R.
