I - Pape Two Seiiiraitrm TO THE MEMORY OF THE REVEREND JOHN A. FLYNN Priest, ' readier. Noble Christian Gentleman The Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-one Dedicates this Seventh Volume of THE PURGOLD 5l6p t COMPILED nV CLEMEN T J. PREEN Editor-in-Cliief DAVID C. STAN ' TON Business Manager MARTIN E. CONWAY Advertising Manager THE PURGOLD YEAR BOOK —OF— COLUMBIA COLLEGE DUBUQUE, IOWA Volume VII Published by the Senior Class •Prologue «y IFE is a combination of realism and | | romance, of fact and fiction, of the actual and the ideal. Both elements arc necessary in our present state of exist¬ ence ; without realism we would have a world of visionaries; without romanticism, a world of machines. In compiling this volume of the Purgold our aim has been to fuse the poetry and color of the Hast with the prosaic drabness of the West. With this idea in mind we ask you to follow Sinbad as he makes his seven voyages through Columbia. I ' jiki Six iFnreuiorii W c will revive those times, and in our memories Preserve, and still keep fresh, like flowers in water, i hose happier days; when at our eyes our souls Kindled their mutual fires, their equal beams Shot and return’d, ’till link’d and twin’d in one, I hey chain’d our hearts together. 1 )enham.

Its generous proportions make ample room for the 11 ary, assembly hall, chapel, dormitories, and classrooms, as well as pnvate rooms for students and professors. Leras Hall commands one ot the highest eminences in Dubuque, from which, we like to think, ishop Loins might have viewed his thriving community in the ’40’s. 1 he building is indeed the most fitting of all monuments—an extreme- 1 usetul one whose concern is ■•ouls rather than stones. T ' age HI even SCIENCE HALE The convent of ihe Good Shepherd Sisters was purchased in inra and remodeled to suit the needs of the Science Department College. Its four floors accommodate large lecture laboratories for work in physics, biology, geology of the rooms, complete chemistry, and mu- seum. and in the fore part of the building several suites of ins r ct ors ' rooms tt ho knows what area, achievements shall have had their initial impetus in modest .sequestered Science Hall? Ulel1 Pane Twelve TIIK GYMNASIUM I ho new Gymnasium is an ideally suited center for a great mini- bei of sports. It liouses bowling alleys, an excellent handball court, looms for the band, foi boxing and wrestling, and a track surround¬ ing the basketball floor, which is also prepared for winter tennis. Be¬ cause of its immense size, the Gymnasium is serving a civic purpose, in that the Board of Directors permit its use for mass events requir¬ ing unusual seating accommodations, such a? the yearly band and choral concerts. l ngc Thirteen KEANE OAKS A tract of woodland north of the campus was added to the grounds in 1916, the gift of Archbishop James J. Keane; accordingly, it was called Keane Oaks. With the exception of tennis and handball courts, the place remains in its enchanting, natural state; several acres ot rolling land, filled with great trees. A wonderfully quiet spot to seek if you must compose a symposium, or if you’ve been plugging too hard on your math! Page Fourteen THE PANORAMA A huge dot-and-dash E, three blocks long and a block wide, made of biick and stone: such is the distant aerial prospect of our College. On the top of the letter are: Loras Hall, Gymnasium, Science Hall: on the middle one: Power House. St. Francis Hall, Infirmary; and last¬ ly: St. Joseph Hall, Academy Gymnasium. In the gaps are fine ath¬ letic fields, stretches of woods — the whole scene being laid on an un¬ dulating carpet of jolly green. The view is reminiscent of Thomas Gray: “Ye distant spires, ye antique towers. Ah, happy hills, ah, pleasing shade.” Page Fifteen ST. FRAXCIS MALL The pretty little building called St. Francis Hall is entirely de¬ voted to the domestic activities of the institution, under the direction of the Sisters of St. Francis. It contains two roomy refectories, a laundry, bakery, and a mammoth kitchen. In the dining halls of this unit have taken place some ot the most stirring, history-making events in the life of Columbia College, the most recent of which was the In¬ stallation Banquet of His Grace, Francis J. Beckman, Archbishop of Dubuque. Page Sixteen T1IK 1NT1RMAKY The most recent addition to the campus buildings is the ! l m � completed in 1927.

Pa k o Forty 5emor Cl ass History the dawn of each new day we, the members of the Senior Class, are forced () rca ze that our collegiate career will soon be only a memory. We shall strive to demonstrate that many achievements of the Class of ’31 are worthy of fu¬ ture recall. We must show that this, as every true Senior Class, has left laudable standards for succeeding classes. For unless the outgoing group casts a good influence, however misty, over the undergraduates it has scorned a precious prerogative. In every branch of endeavor fourth year men were outstanding. For instance, the vested choir is a fine example of the importance of our class, with Lynch as president; Lake, Kehoe, Tettig, Conlon, Brown, Kurt and other seniors holding important offices and filling out the various sections. The ba ' nd and orchestra also would have been very mediocre without the senior representatives. Every school publication has felt the masterful hand of one or other of our members. Lynch, Glass and Caton have di¬ rected either the Lorian or Spokesman, and the present Annual owes much of its success to the persevering labor of Editor Breen, ably assisted by illging and bet- ti . 1 hese dilectors were greatly assisted by such men as Derga, hriedman, Meloy, Mullen, McCormick, and the combined efforts resulted in excellent literary produc¬ tions. However, all this success would have been impossible without the business acumen of Conway and Stanton, l he far-reaching renown of the Dramatic Club and Crusader productions reflects, necessarily, some credit upon senior members of the casts, including bettig, Schaefle, McNamara, Mullen, Brickley, Conlon, Breen, Lynch, Conway, Reynolds and others. 1 he important position of Student Manager was intrusted to Kehoe. Coan and Leai led our basketball and football squads, respectively, ably assisted by C. Ryan, breitbach, Glass on the grid, and Kieler on the hard wood. In tennis, strangely Co¬ lumbia s most consistently victorious sport, Meyer, Kieler and Willging have set a lofty standard in their four years of sensational racquet work. On the cinder path, seniors have conti ibuted their share of points through the work of O Connor, Leary ind McGuire. 1 lie class, through the course of four years, has carried off nine intra¬ mural championships. In this record a varied interest is apparent as each senior divided his time be¬ tween classroom work and extra-curricular activity, whether with the musical instru¬ ment, on the “boards ’ gridiron or gym floor. In other words, healthful contrasts aided both mental and physical development. A class history must of necessity be very deficient, but it is our hope that this record may serve to awaken memories of friendship formed, side-by-side struggles, and personal or group experiences during our collegiate career at Columbia.

The class of ’32 believes that it has succeeded in making its pres¬ ence felt in every activity at Columbia : scholastic, athletic, literary, dramatic, and musical. Dougherty, McParland, and Ropele started the ball rolling by winning letters in football; Schwartz carried on in basketball, also meriting his “C,” while Finley led our brosh team to a championship in the class league; and Runde, Schwartz, and Finley were important members of the track team. The class of ’32 made its debut in dramatics in “College Days” and twelve of its members made the honor roll: Jaeger, O’Toole, Nelson, Schmitt, Linehan, Ernsdorff, Eulberg, Farnan, Supple, Breitbach, Kirk, and Downing. In all, our Freshman year had proved us to be a really representative class, and we felt justly proud of ourselves. We returned to school possessed of a certain “sang froid” based on the realiza¬ tion of our prowess, and lost no time in getting down to business. Sims, O’Toole, and Sell wind placed their names beside those of our three previous lettermen in football, while Finley and Schwartz earned letters in basketball. The class team was cham¬ pion of the indoor league. Sims was secretary ot the Loras Crusaders; Dougherty, Cordon, Borland, Coon- ex, McDonald, Sims, and Donavan were choir members; while Runde, and Ernsdoft xvere in the orchestra, and McElliott and Runde in the band. Donavan and Linehan won lust places in the verse and short story contests; Schares placed second in Ger¬ man elocution; Conforti took third in oratory. Cassidw Martin, Kintzle, Chihak, and Donavan added their names to the honor roll. Ihc year was considered a distinct success. We had passed the half-way mark in 01,1 collegiate career with colors flying and the banner with the strange device “Ex¬ celsior always before us. Oui Junior year statred off with a bang with the annual Freshman initiation. Then we chose oui officers: McParland, president; Borland, vice-president; Cooney, sccre- t‘U x-ti easm d ; and Sutton, class speaker. The class was prepared for another suc¬ cess i ul year. 1 Kenline added his name to the list of lunior lettermen in football; and Ropele, the old standby, was chosen to lead the 1931 squad. O ' Toole, Schwartz, and Finley xxeie mainstax s ot the Purple and Gold cage team. We made a clean sweep of the offices of the Loras Crusaders. Martin xvas presi¬ dent , Linehan, vice-president: and Farnan, secretary-treasurer. Donavan xx as editor ot the Lorian, while Becker, McParland, Nolan, P. Dougherty, Downing, Cooney, Kintzle, Mai tin, Farnan, Linehan, and McManus served on the staff. Kintzle was co-editot of the Spokesman; Donavan, and Linehan were among the associate editors. Sims xvas prefect of the choir, and Donavan, publicity director; Kintzle was secre¬ tary of Lc Cercle Francais; Schares was given third place in the oratory contest. We participated prominently in dramatics, in Treasure Island” and “Journey’s End,” and our honor roll continued to be large. Yes, we have had a fruitful three years, and we look forward with eager hope for even greater accomplishments next year The liftv-five of us may achieve many more successes before Commencement Day, 1932.

And, just as certain signs which precede the real dawn foretell whether it shall be beautiful or cloudy, so also there have been indica¬ tions during this past year which bespeak a balmy dawn for the class of Wd when once they embark upon their life work, indications which have proved them capable of holding their own in a cultured group. They have kept themselves in the lime¬ light and made themselves outstanding among their fellow collegians. First of all was football. Who did not sway an accompaniment to White’s sensa¬ tional field runs, and yell himself hoarse at the way the hard-hitting Ilaldus took out the opposition? Meneguin was consistently reliable at left half, and Russell, although ineligible for Iowa Conference games, assured himself of a berth on next year’s Du hawk squad by his expert work in non-conference battles. Later in the year, White and Quinlan distinguished themselves on the basketball floor, ultimately winning sweaters. Although track is a thing of the future at this writing, much is expected of Col¬ lins, Sullivan, and White, all of whom have already proved their mettle in this sport. Tn the field of literature, the publication in the first three issues of the College Spokesman of selections by Evans, Palen, McNally, and Willging, is sufficient attest¬ ation to the ability of these men. During this year, also, the Lorian temporarily passed from the hands of the jun¬ iors when Whalen was named editor for the second semester, with Steele as assistant editor, and Schnabel as business manager. Other Sophomores who were members of the staff during all or part of the year are Lever, Collins, Dwyer, Evans, Kerper, Kolck, Larkin, McDonald, Newhouse, O’Malley, Schuetz, and Schuster. Schuster upheld the honor of the class in the annual oratorical contest, where he was awarded second place. Much of the success of the Dramatic Club presentations mav he traced to the histrionic ability of Sophomores who took leading roles in the ' year ' s productions Cr,mk, - vi Kv:ms - k — k — iA - � - r d a ! hC fllSrrv n n 1 VcSU H Ch .V ir vocally bolstered l,v the voices of Ualdus.

Since that hazardous dav when we, tossed about on the sea of inferiority, instinctively clung to each other that further attacks against ui tender feelings might be prevented, we have striven as a unit toward the acquire¬ ment of foundations suitable for future scholastic endeavors. Our efforts have been fruitful and our comic seriousness has eventually made you look to the safety of a goodly number of your laurels. I ow we invite an examination of the class of 1934 and trust that our armory be not too bare.

In fact, and a bit more to the point, several so adapted themselves to collegiate competition that they garnered the lion’s share in football honors. Next, among a class that so¬ licited students from states as far distant as Oregon and New Mexico, the various extra-curricular organizations, both scholastic and religious, were enabled to recruit individuals with a capacity for knowledge, art, and char¬ ity that justified the privilege of membership. Our attitude toward study has been influenced by our change from academic work and we have applied ourselves that our industry might be up to the standard of college study. Precedent and the example of upper¬ classmen who were once themselves beginners needing advice on the pro¬ per decorum of a collegian have at last settled us firmly on the correct track to development. The dominant feature which looms up in the misty future before our immature visions is the prospect of three pleasant years of fur¬ ther work at Columbia, the choicest of laboratories. This year has really been interesting as well as instructive. Several forces have borne weight in the matter of attractiveness, not the least among them being the vigor of young men whose strength has invited trying and the novelty of the en¬ tire course. Incomplete as our schooling is the sudden conclusion that the delightful nature of this year has prompted a fixed resolve to return next autumn that we may join the elite in their superior positions.

Tlie L onau HE Lorian, bi-wcekly newspaper of Columbia, first published as the Spokesman- ette in the year 1924-25, passed the seventh milestone of its existence most suc¬ cessfully. As a chronicle of scholastic and extra-curricular activities and as a connecting link between college and alumni it has faithfully fulfilled its purpose. Robert P. Donavan, as editor, was aided in the first semester er and John A. lialen as assistant and associate, respect¬ ively. John A. Whalen became editor, Joseph H. Steele as¬ sistant editor, in the second semester. Donald Schnabel was business manager for the entire year. Mark A. McCormick was again typist this year and the Lorian could always de¬ pend on Ins excellent printer ' s copy. I he Lorian as a whole reflected the guidance of bather ( ' Teen, lacultt advisor tor the lirst time this year.

The promoters under the direction of the officers, collect a nominal fee from every student of the college annually, and the proceeds are given to the Archdio¬ cesan director. Considerable revenue is also derived from the sale of Sunday news¬ papers. This fund was augmented when the unit assisted by various students presented a production on Jan. 12 and 13 to which the public was invited. A minstrel show was the feature part of the entertainment. In former years the college unit made a splendid show¬ ing sending in several hundred dollars, and this year they have again very gratifying results. The society is one of the reallv active organizations of the college, and ' the work ac¬ complished redounds to the credit of the whole student body as well as to the officers and promoters. An interesting feature in connection with the mission campaign here at Columbia is that an alumnus, father Stein- bach, who graduated from Columbia in 1927, was recently or¬ dained a priest of the Mary knoll mission, whose work deals almost entirely with foreign missions. p,, v .

Heitkamp Athletic Director John A. Armstrong Varsity Coach Athletic Department A S in past years, the Athletic depart¬ ment functioned in such an efficient manner as to maintain Columbia’s high sphere in the field of intercollegiate competition and served also to foster in¬ terest in intramural athletics. The high regard in which Columbia is held by other member schools of the Iowa Conference and al¬ so outside foes is due in large measure to Professor G. W. llcitkamp, Athletic Director of Columbia and President of the Iowa Conference. Possessing a as he does high ideals of sportsmanship and the integ¬ rity of athletes in athletics, his fifth year in the official capac¬ ity of director has been an un¬ qualified success. The never-say-die spirit of Columbia teams in the past few years has been due, almost solely, to the aggressiveness of the dynamic head-coach, John A. Armstrong. Physical perfection alone was not the goal of the men trained un¬ der his tutelage; mental ability and alert¬ ness was a much stressed lac- tor under his system. The thankless job of student manager was ably tilled In John V. Kehoe, ’31, of Cando, North Dakota. Possessing the requisite personality and force of character to combat such difficulties as usually arise in this position, he did vert good work during the past year, maintaining the high standard of former years. John W. Kehoe Student Manager Ta g e - N i n et y - n i n e Z mjM sess Tke Ckeer Lead ers AT fUCH of the fine spirit that prevailed at athletic contests during the year was due to the efforts of Head Cheer Leader Martin E. Conway and his assistants, Supple, Collins and Kelly. To these men must go much of the credit for several of our victories both in football and basketball. The spirit and enthus¬ iasm aroused in the student body by the cheer leaders w a s immediately trans¬ mitted to the teams. This effect was admirably de¬ monstrated in the State Teachers basketball game in the local gym. Before this contest the pep of the students was at its lowest ebb in years, but through the efforts of the cheer leaders, the team and the students both snapped out of a slump to win the game. “Whitey” Conway has been cheer leader Martin E. Conway Head Cheerleader of the present Senior class for four years, and never before has he performed his duties more admirably than this season. Coach Armstrong joins the teams and student body in thank¬ ing him for his efforts. Jim Supple is the Junior cheer leader and is un¬ doubtedly the man to suc¬ ceed “Whitey.’ Jim is pop¬ ular with the students and that is the one essential of a good cheer leader. Jack Collins and Artie Kelly are the Sophomore and freshmen representa¬ tives on the pep squad. Both had experience at the . Academy and have proven be of great help to their leader. Once again we thank these men for their until ing ettorts and wish them success for tne coming y ear.

Both teams played mediocre ball, clearly dis¬ playing early season form. The first quarter was a punting duel between O’Toole of Columbia and Cooper of Teachers, with Cooper hav¬ ing a slight edge. Early in the second quarter an ex¬ change of punts put the ball on Columbia’s 5-yard line. O’Toole’s punt was blocked making it Tutor’s ball with five yards to go for a touch¬ down. On the fourth down the Teachers scored on a pass, but the try for the ex¬ tra point failed. In the third quarter the Duhawks threat¬ ened to score repeatedly, but lacked the driving power necessary to push the ball over. The game was replete with penalties on both sides. Ro- pele and White starred in the local backfield. while Captain A1 Leary and Rieder were showing lights in the line. Captain Leary, End Captain Al Leary A1 has been a consistent play¬ er for the last four seasons. During the first two he perform¬ ed admirably at end while the last two years he has alternated between the end and the full¬ back positions.

Captain-etsct Joseph Ropele Joe has been a great help to Columbia during the last three years.

This was the second Confer¬ ence victory for the Columb¬ ians. Bill Boland, Coach Arm¬ strong’s greatest find of the season, gave the crowd an¬ other of his great line plung¬ ing exhibitions. O’ Toole punted perfectly; in fact ev¬ erything clicked as nicely as O’Toole, End the score indicates. The fea¬ ture play of the evening was a 95-yard run by White. This diminutive Columbian half caught a punt on his own 5- yard marker and zig-zagged the length of the field with¬ out being touched. A few minutes later “Abie” Coan reeled off a run of GO yards, being stopped on the 2-yard line. When the final gun barked Columbia was on the long end of a 37-12 score.

The Du- liawks, with their hard-driv¬ McParland, Center ing back field combination of White, Ropele, Boland, Coan. and Meneguin, concentrated practically their entire attack on the line. Boland, the hu¬ man battering ram, scored two touchdowns in the first half and White converted a try for point after touch¬ down to give the Duhawks a 13-0 lead. In the second half Boland and Captain A1 Leary hit the line for touchdowns and Leary also made good in his try for the extra point. The entire Columbia team played good ball in this game, but the work of Bo¬ land and Coan in the back- field and Leary, Sims. Mc- Parland and Dougherty in the line was outstanding. Baldus, Guard P age One Hundred Five White, Halfback punt on Buena Vista’s 5-yard line and Boland smashed the ball over on the next play. Captain A1 Leary made the extra point. Boland scored again in the second quarter as a result of two 15-yard penalties on Buena Vista. Boland also made good in his try for the extra point. In this quarter the Beaver’s passing combination of Pat¬ rick to Bogges was good for two touchdowns. In the sec¬ ond half White scored a touchdown for Columbia and the Beaver’s aerial attack netted them six points. The entire Duhawk line outclass¬ ed that of the visitors, but the work of Ryan, O’Toole and Sims was outstanding. The best performers in the back field were Boland, Coan, White, and Meneguin.

In the first quarter Columbia blocked a Boland, Fullback Columbia College, 0 Simpson, 25 In the final game of the season the Duhawks went down to defeat before a pow¬ erful Simpson squad by a score of 25-0. The victors were primed for this game for two reasons—to avenge a 14-0 defeat at the hands of the Duhawks the previous year and to celebrate their homecoming. Simpson relied entirely on the line smashing ability of Richards, their great fullback, and, in order that the confidence of his team-mates might not be mis¬ placed. this latter gentleman scored three touchdowns during the afternoon’s work. According to Des Moines pa¬ pers, Captain Leary proved himself to be a great player in this game. This marked the final appearance of Cap¬ tain Leary, Glass, Ryan, and Coan. Although not a fitting game in which to sing a swan song these men did that which is hardest of all— they passed on gloriously in defeat.

For four years he has been a steadying influence to the team. Captain Coan was chiefly a defensive star, and many an aspirant to high scoring honors was sadly disappointed due to “Abie’s” close guarding. At the same time Paul was a consistent scorer, and for this reason was frequently placed at forward by Coach Armstrong. Now that Captain Coan has been grad¬ uated, we say, “Congratulations, Abie.” THE SEASON Columbia College, 22 Platteville State Teachers College, 16 Rallying in the second half after trailing 13-7 the Duhawks defeated Platteville Normal by the score of 22-16 in the open¬ ing game of the season. Coach Armstrong started his second team and let these boys play the first quarter. Then the regulars were sent in, but their work was poor. During the rest period Coach John apparently told the boys something, for they looked like a new team during the second half. Capt. “Abie” Coan cap¬ tured high point honors of the game by making five field goals and one gift shot. Columbia College, 22 LaCrosse Normal, 19 Captain Coan led his team¬ mates to another non-conference victory at LaCrosse, when the Duhawks defeated the Teachers by the score of 22-19. Coan scored two field goals and three gift shots to lead the scoring for the evening. The game was a clean and hard fought battle with the score close at all times. The Columbians took the lead in the first quarter and held it until the end. Towards the close of the game Kieler tossed in two nice baskets in close succession and sank whatever hopes the Teachers might have had of winning the game. Columbia College, 26 Western Union College, 20 The Duhawks opened their conference schedule with a vic¬ tory over Western Union by a score of 26 to 20. The Telegra¬ phers hung up the first points of the game, but this lead was not long lived as little Mike Tornai, 125-pound forward, slipped through the entire team and sank a field goal. The half ended with the score 12 to 11 in favor of Western Union. The second half started with a bang with Quinlan’s free throw tying the score. The Duhawks’ scoring guns opened fire the rest of the half, with Finley scoring a bull’s eye twice and dropping in two free throws. Columbia College, 33 Parsons College, 44 The Duhawks next journeyed to Fairfield, Iowa, only to lose a fast game by the score of 44- 33. Parsons took the lead in the first two minutes of play and maintained it throughout the game. The half ended with a score of 24 to 12 in the Wild Cats’ favor. The Duhawks op¬ ened the second half with a Captain-elect Emmett Schwartz With the selection of “Em¬ mie” Schwartz to assist Coach Armstrong in guiding the des¬ tinies of Duhawk basketball next season, we anticipate a long string of victories for the Purple and Gold. “Emmie was placed at forward on ihe all¬ conference second team this year and besides this finished high in conference scoring.

Kieler and Coan were high- point men for Columbia, each scoring nine points. Columbia College, 24 St. Ambrose, 27 Coming back with a vicious second half attack, St. Ambrose triumphed over the Columbia Duhawks at Davenport by the score of 27-24. Coach Armstrong’s men got off to a sensational start when Emmie” Schwartz scored three held goals in the first three min¬ utes of play. The half ended without a field goal for Am¬ brose and with Columbia lead¬ ing by the score of 16-3. During the second half the superiority of the St. Ambrose team was just as marked as was that of Columbia during the first half. E. Math, the power of the Ambrose attack, slipped through the Columbia defense for re¬ peated short shots. The scoring of Coach Armstrong’s men was confined to eight gift shots, which brought their total to 24. Columbia College, 26 Parsons, 27 In a great battle Parsons de¬ feated the Duhawks to the tune of 27 to 26. It was an overtime game in which Columbia was forced to come from be hind to tie the score in the fourth per¬ iod. However they lost the lead when Swanson of Parsons sank a basket in the overtime period after Columbia had taken the lead due to a free throw by Schwartz. For Columbia Finley and Schwartz starred. Columbia College, 35 Iowa State Teachers, 27 The Columbia Duhawks sur¬ prised the fans by doing the un¬ expected when they defeated the Iowa State Teachers Col¬ lege five on the local court by the score of 35 to 27. The local five started off with a four-point lead when Kieler and White connected with spec¬ tacular shots. The score was tied at the half 17-17. Schwartz started the scoring in the second half with a bas¬ ket to give Columbia a 19-17 lead. The score was again tied at 21 all. At this point, how¬ ever, the Duhawks again tool; the lead and gradually increased it until the gun sounded. Although the entire Columbia team played a great brand of basketball, the work of Finley, Schwartz, and Kieler w as out¬ standing. Columbia College, 24 Luther, 27 Fresh from a victory over State Teachers the Duhawks dropped their next conference game to Luther by the score of 27-24. Schwartz, Columbia’s ciack forward, was no doubt the star of the game and registered twelve points. In order to check the Columbia basketeers, tin Luther coach kept changing his lineup as the second half ad¬ vanced. Things looked bright when the Duhawks broke away for goals by Coan and Finley, and a couple of gift shots by Schwartz, to make the count 1!) to 14. but it was not long until the Norsemen suddenly came from behind and won by a score of 27 to 24. age One Hundred Ten Finley, Center Kieler, Forward Hogan, Guard Columbia College, 16 Diamond Oilers, (Tulsa, Okla.), 32 The Diamond Oilers featuring Red DeBernardi, All-American amateur, stopped off on their Mid-Western invasion long enough to vanquish the Duhawks by a score of 32 to 16. The first half was a good exhibition of how basketball should be played, while the second half was a still better exhibition of basketball as played by the A.A.A. Champions. Toward the end of the game Army sent in four of his shock troops—“Pete” Hogan, Bill Boland, Quinlan, and Tony Letko. Although these men were unable to bother the Oilers, they presented more opposition than did the varsity. Columbia College, 18 LaCrosse Normal, 27 After once defeating the La¬ Crosse State Teachers on their home floor, the Columbia Vars¬ ity was forced to take the small end of a 27-1S score in the local gym. At times Columbia shot wildly and then again the ball would roll around the hoop and bounce out into the hands of the awaiting LaCrosse guards. Hardenburg, a reserve guard for LaCrosse, led the scoring with eight points. Finley, the pony center, led the Duhawks with seven. White, although he played but a short while, sunk three of the prettiest shots of the year. Columbia College, 24 State Teachers, 36 The Iowa State Teachers’ Col¬ lege five, playing their last home game of the season, gained re¬ venge for an earlier season set¬ back when they defeated Co¬ lumbia College Duhawks 36 to 24. Columbia took a 6-0 lead in the first seven minutes by scor¬ ing three baskets. At this point, however, the Teachers started scoring and held a 21-17 lead at the half. The Duhawks came back with renewed fight in the second half, but their inability to find the hoop enabled the Tutors to in¬ crease their lead so that by the end of the game Columbia found itself on the short end of a 36-2-1 score. Columbia, 21 St. Ambrose, 38 Playing before a large tourn¬ ament. crowd, the Columbia Du¬ hawks were defeated by St. Am¬ brose in Columbia’s final home game of the season by a score of 3S-21. With the score tied at 13 points and with two minutes of the first half left, St. Ambrose scored three baskets to give them a 21-15 lead at half-time. As in previous games. Colum¬ bia could not “get going” in the second half and consequently had to be satisfied with the small end of a 3S-21 score. Schwartz, Coan and White played well for Columbia. Columbia College, 18 Luther, 24 The Columbia Duhawks were defeated by the Luther Norse¬ men on the latter’s floor by the score of 2-1-1S . Luther held the lead until the last quarter when Columbia got hot and sank a few baskets to tie the score at fifteen each. From then until the final whistle the battle raged, but the Norsemen came through and shored more than the Duhawks. winning by a mar- pin of six points. “Emmie” Schwartz was high-point man with five field goals.

John Cotter. He holds the record for the 110 , and also the 220 . However, it is the latter that he loved to run as the time—22.5 seconds—suggests. John Cotter l’age On . ' Hundred Fourteen Track HE track season of 1930 was not a successful one from the standpoint ot team vic- JI tories, but when individual performances are considered we can say that it was perhaps the best season Duhawk trackstcrs have had in recent years. In the first meet of the year Columbia defeated the Platteville Teachers by the score of 76-70. The Duhawk half-mile relay team composed of Cotter, Runde, Scd- lak, and Sullivan, set a new college record when they stepped the distance in 1 :38 7-10. Frank Finley set a new high jump, record when he cleared the bar at five feet eleven inches. Jack Collins took second in the 100 and third in the 440. jerry Sullivan captured second in the 440 and ran as third man on the relay team. Haldus won the half-mile and took second in the javelin. On May 3, the Columbia trackstcrs were forced to be content with third place in a triangular meet with Luther and LaCrosse. Luther won the meet with r 8 points; LaX took second with 40 and Columbia third with 38. Several new college records were made, however, so the afternoon was |uitc successful for the Duhaw ks. , 1 Leary gave the stellar performance of the dav when he vaulted twelve feet sin inches for a new record. The half-mile relay team broke their new record of the Saturday before when they ran the distance in 1 :37.3. Runde bettered the old broad jump record with a leaf) of twenty-one feet two inches. Aside from this Laldus, Russell and Captain Cotter contributed the most points. Onr I lun tn ' ! I ' ifU’Cn Collins The J. 1. A. C. meet was next on the program lor the Duhawk harriers and in this event they took third place, with 17 poi nts. State 1 eachers easily won first place with 81 points and Luther second with 36. Captain Cotter took second in both the 100 and the 220 yard dashes. Finley and Leary tied lor second in the high jump. Leary, due to a back injury, could only take third in the pole vault. I� aldus won third in both the half-mile and javelin to complete Columbia s total. On the 23rd of May Coach Armstrong took only a small portion of the team to the annual conference meet at Cedar halls. Captain Cotter easily won both of his qualifying heats in the 1(X) and 220, but laded to place in the finals the folk viin r day. Finley was the only Duhawk to annex a victory and he did so m a noble man¬ ner by winning first place in the high jump. Thus ended the track season ol 1930. Many hreshmen and Sophomores received seasoning which should prove inavluable in the season ol 1931. rnfci; Olio HuiulreO Sixteen Kenline Kieler Willging Meyer Tennis Season “fUE 1930 tennis season started with a college tournaim nt. As a result of this tourney Ca])tain John Meyer chose Kieler, Willging and Kenline as his team mates. 1 he first meet of the year was a triangular affair with Luther and LaCmsse. The result of this was a victory for Columbia. On Saturday, May 1 , the Duhawk tennis team journeyed to LaCrosse where they met the Teachers in a dual meet. After four hours ' of hard tennis the score stood three matches apiece. As a climax to a sensational season Captain Meyer and Kieler carried away all honors in the conference meet at Cedar halls. The conference singles championship was won by Meyer when he defeated entrants from Western Lnion, Luther, Iowa Wesleyan, and finally Carris, also from Iowa Weslevan. This latter opponent ex¬ tended the champion to the score of 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, and 7-3. file doubles team of Kieler and Meyer easily won the championship in this event when they defeated the Cential team by the score of 6-4, 6 1 ; Simpson, by a score of 6 3, 6-2; and finally the Luther team, by a score of 6-2, 6-3, and 6 2.

The Senior team was composed ot Glass, Kehoe and Macheak at guards, McGuire at center, and Jenn, Leary and Lake at forwards. The height and defensive ability of the fourth year men proved the nemesis of the lest nl the league. Jenn led the high scorers with 35 points and was closely fol- lowcd by McGuire with 28. Second place honors for the season were divided be¬ tween the Sophomore A s, Junior A’s and Day Student A s. Indoor Capt. Gossman led his Junior teammates through an undefeated season to cap- tme the Indoor Championship. The Juniors were an especially haid hitting aggre¬ gation and by this method battered their way through all opposition. Finley and Schmitt along with Gossman were the stars of the champions. 1 he Sophomores and Seniors, under the leaders of Schnabel and McGuire, tie«1 for second place. r.i! 1 . One llunilrorl Twt-nly P assball rllE passball championship of 1930 was won by the Sophomores under the cap- taincv of Uve Konkoly. l ' he ability of Schnabel and Konkoly to snare the passes of lornai contributed greatly to the success of the team. Although the schedule was incomplete, the Seniors and Juniors acquired a sufficiently high percent¬ age to tie for second place. The two latter teams were captained by Jenn and Boyle. B owling The Senior bowling team under the leadership of Martin Conway went through the season undefeated to win the 1931 championship, d he success of the Senior squad was due largely to the work of their captain, who had an unusually good sea¬ son. 1 he Day Student A s, captained by Ernsdorff, captured second place. The high spot of the season was the new college record of 278 pins for a single game set by Macheak of the Senior team. Needless to sav this is one record that will not be broken for many years to come. Pajft?

Page- One Hundred T venty-six I A5K Voyage of NOW, O my brothers and my friends and my compan¬ ions, (and hear of my eighth voyage, for it is more wondrous than all the others). When I returned from the seventh voyage and had rested and spent some time in a state of utmost happiness and joy, partaking in the delights of my native city — Mc¬ Gregor, the abode of the faithful,—my soul (being prone to C ' nkl-k evil) again became desirous of travel and of seeing strange LdyI 1LI 1 ; countries and other peoples. So I arose and meditated upon this subject and bought precious goods suited for the journey. I determined if it be the will of Allah ( whose name be exalted) to sail down the swiftly moving Mississippi and thence into the broad sea. Having gathered together many companions bent upon the same pleasure, we set out in a sea-worthy vessel (The 1 uanita). The day was peaceful and the blessing of the Allah (whose name be exalted) seemed to be upon us. Thus we were pursuing our course in the midst of the river, when, lo, the master standing at the side of the vessel, looked to¬ ward the western shore and then slapped his face, plucked his beard, rent his clothes and uttered a great cry. So we said to him, “O master, what is the news?” And he answered : “Know, O passengers (whom may Allah preserve) that destiny hath cast us. through our evil fortune into the midst of the Columbia College students’ swimming pool. It is a more dangerous and fearsome place than the Mountain of the Apes.” — And the words of the master were not ended before the creatures had come to us and sur¬ rounded the vessel on every side. They were of most strange aspect and had red hair or black, like black felt. No one understoodeth their language or their state. They shun the society of men and have yellow eyes and are fat and sleek. Thev climbed up the cables and severed them with their teeth. My companions lied, much terrified, and jumping into the water, swam for the eastern shore. 1, more dead than alive, stood transfixed with fear while my protruding eyes watched as the invaders gnawed weenies and tore open, with their long iiled teeth, cans oi corn as though never before had they tasted such delicacies. These omnivorous creatures, still unsatisfied, gnawed the planks, crunching and gulping in a loud manner. The boat being demolished sank into the churning waters. I threshed about until Allah (whose name be exalted) sent me a collapsible bathtub which 1 unfolded and placed myself within and paddled wildly with mv feet. Despoiled of their pastime of tearing down the boat, and no more boats being in sight, these creatures turned their attention to me. I hev swam toward me with strong cries shouting, “Onward, Old Columbia!” They dragged me from mv convever and pulled me to the shore. When we arrived there they consulted among themselves. One. called Ilassar Hanson appeared more fierce than the rest and seemed to be the master. This being gesticulated wildly to his companions and pointed up the hill. Im¬ mediately the bound m hands and teet and slung me across a pole. Ilassar llanson commanded, lake hold, Mesui Hogan and Kmir White. hereupon these two swar¬ thy giants grasped either end of the pole and proceeded up the hill past strange sights. Hessar I lanson again directed, Go forth, O Kharrsan-Supple and I� akbak-Kollvns Paje One Hundred Thirty (Jack) and announce that a strange being is come into our midst. Thev then shouted through all manner of antics. As we neared the top of the hill I beheld a most awesome sight. Many steep terraces covered with green grass led up to a structure of majestic aspect and surpassing beauty. We entered this mansion, which seemed to be deserted. My por¬ ters carried me up many (lights of stairs and paused before two doors. The master directed, “Proceed into the Library so that we may peruse the books of wisdom to discover the origin of this creature.” c entered and 1 , hundreds of these beings were crowded into the room and each engrossed in a huge tome of learned aspect. The criers shouted, “Cease your noble studies, O wise Columbians, and search in your handy Webster’s Collcgiatcs for the definition of this curious bi¬ ped.” When they heeded them not, but continued with their former occupations, the criers shouted the louder and each selected a huge thigh bone, from a pile of fossils in the cor¬ ner, and went about thumping the students on the head. 1 was no longer watched and having become loosed from mv bonds I stood aright and walked out into the hall. The corridor was no longer quiet. Behold, two lusty youths were racing toward me, one with an open shears chasing the other. Sheyph-Leary (Bill) overtook Kcffch- Kelly (Artie) and in the midst of much squealing, clipped chunks ot golden hair from his head. L being perplexed and much afraid, fled down a flight of stairs and there came upon another pair of runners. Zubeydeh Snell was pursuing Kasid-Borland at an ex¬ cessively fast rate and their speed was increased by reason of the roller skates attach¬ ed to the feet. On seeing me they paused and Zubevdeh Snell said. “O ugly one, whence comcth thou and whether?” 1 made answer, “Thou beholdest only a poor sai¬ lor from McGregor, intent on seeing strange lands and shipwrecked on your fair shores.” At this they consulted; then Kasid-Borland addressed me in a loud voice, “Thou hast spoken unbecomingly to those of high dignitv. Thou must be tried before Abdallah Palacios, prince of the faithful,” and forthwith they seized me and carried me some distance to another building called the gymnasium where the prince of the faith¬ ful, Palacios, was seated upon a high throne and his face shone like a full moon, lie commanded saying, “Bring this rude creature closer.” But I hung back, made fearful by his great majesty and shining countenance. At this Wi .er-Walsh standing near cried, “Persuasion!” Immediately they fell to with gleeful shouts and beat me. Whereupon I approached swiftly before the prince and a great crowd was assembled. But while the trial was in progress suddenly a loud bell rang out. Mured-Cronin shouted. “It is the hour of dinner.” And with a great cry they all fled, some trampling others in their haste to partake of tasty viands. I was left standing alone and I won¬ dered extremely. As quickly as possible 1 betook myself from the place and going down the hill stood on the river bank until a passing ' boat picked me up. The vessel carried me back safely to my native city of McGregor, the abode of the Kaithlul.

Pntre One Hundred Thirty-seven “One of the eagles carried me to his nest on top of the mountain.” I5lu ' Araiinuu edited by members of the senior class oium Dia jt . caci emy POX the opposite page is depicted the new mon- 1£1 ograin which has been adopted to symbolize the idea of Columbia Academy. It is this symbol which we have chosen to introduce this record of the Acad¬ emy’s work for 1930-31. There has grown up steadily around Columbia Acad¬ emy of recent years a spirit distinctly its own. This spirit is the result of the fusion and synthesis of three great traditions in this institution; these three tradi¬ tions are symbolically represented in the Academy monogram. Behind the letter “C” stand the names Columbia and Columbus. Taken together they mean virile Catholic Americanism — an Americanism without chauvinism, or cheapness, or bigotrv, but with a very definite amount ol self-reliance, all of which this school has consistently fostered. The “A”—Academy—refers ol course to the great tradition of academic culture which extends from the foundation of the Sorbonne, Louvain and Padua, to the present day, and which Columbia has held so highly in this age of blat ant pragmatism. The cross represents the mightiest tradition of all — Christ and J1 is spouse, the Catholic Church, at once the living inspiration and the driving lorce at work in the Academy. Milton Weimer I’ENKI MOTION SPORTS CENTER A n: Facu lty PRINCIPAL REV. WILLIAM H. RUSSELL Father Russell has been associated with Columbia Academy, of which he is now the Principal, for the past twelve years. During this time, spent in the capacity of a religion teacher, his activity as an Apologist has gain¬ ed recognition; his ability as a zeal¬ ous and practical instructor has won the esteem of his co-educators; and his sincere, fatherlike interest in each individual student has endeared him to the successive classes. Striving ever for the correct moulding of youthful characters, he has endeav¬ ored to send forth young men in whom Catholicism and Americanism are thoroughly blended—and in so do¬ ing he has fulfilled to the very letter Columbia’s command, “Pro Deo et Patria.” REV. EDMUND W. LOOSBROCK Father Loosbrock, at the completion of this, his eighth year on the Acad- ery faculty, holds the position of Dis¬ ciplinarian. This role is not an easy one, nor is it such that everyone can handle it. However, with his period of seminary psychology training and his years of teaching experience back of him, Father Loosbrock successfully maintains that happy medium which is neither too exact nor too lenient. His classes in physics, too, are mark¬ ed with a familiarity which, when coupled with his earnest, thorough presentation of the subject, tends to make even the most difficult princi¬ ples easily comprehensible.

TRAYNOR, President First Year: There were ninety-one of us, eager and ambitious, with Co¬ lumbia as an ideal. Enthusiast¬ ically we opened the scroll and began to write. Perhaps our very enthusiasism caused our writing to appear shaky. In any case, it was labored and marked with many splutterings of the pen. I he boarders seemed to become adjusted with more ease than the “dodgers,” for they cer¬ tainly took an early lead. They entered the names of Lyons and Neilsen as Kodak members, while these together with Will Kress and Barkley were claimed as choral representatives. Lyons was also on the Cee-Ay, while Kress took our place in track work. We figured slightly in speaking and writing, incident¬ ally carrying off first place in verse. Cooling, Bob Clark, and Roseerans made debuts in dra¬ matics. The honor roll, while quite lengthy, claimed only Lyons, Neilsen, Schwinn, and George Becker consistently. It was not an exciting start. Class Second Year: We were becoming more ac¬ customed to Columbia life, and, while still uncertain as to man¬ ner of attack, we were making tries in all directions. The band was organized, and twenty- eight of our “would be’s” were at tracted in that direction. Our Kodak group was on the in¬ crease, with Neilsen and Lyons again figuring prominently. In¬ cidentally they took first and second prizes respectively in the Kodak contest. These two men also did a good share of the ’29 Purgold photography. Choral aspirants were Conlon, Justin Kress, Graham, Barkley, Raker, Kesseler, Kimmich, Schueller, and Traub. The Cee- Ay had Weiden feller, Lyons, Roseerans and Weimer on its staff, while the latter’s success in the story contest tended to increase our literary reputation. Schwinn showed up well in dramatics. Conner was our vio¬ lin virtuoso. The Honor roll ga e .expression to Tunnisen Traynor, Kimmich, Havlik, Wei¬ mer, and Roseerans. Nor were we lax in athletics. In Xiep preeht and McMahon we found both football and basketball History representatives. (At one of these football games Paul Frant- zen loosed a balloon that tra¬ veled 1,000 miles.) Will Kress appeared again on the track, together with Coens, Barkley, Ziepprecht, and Moran. All in all, we were picking up. Third Year: We were on firm ground. The scroll, while still wrtten wiith enthusiasm, portrayed m uch greater self-confidence. We were beginning to do something. The Band still took its quota of our members. Graber, Pauly, and Raker were found as new Cee- Ay enthusiasts, while Lyons and J. LYONS. Vice-President Bum - Gih- Hundred Bifly . ■ PUftGtp . m Neilsen retook old honors on the Purgold. Our Choristers were noticeably on the increase with Kesseler as soloist. The Kodak Club roster also showed a corresponding augmentation. Lyons and Neilsen were officers. Raker, Traub, Schedivy, and Kessler took charge of the lib¬ rary. Dramatics again claimed Cooling, while Weimer, Graber, Tunnisen, and Rosecrans were found on the Honor roll. But our real distinction came in the form of medals. Weimer took first place in the essay contest, while Schwinn’s story took a gold medal and Rosecrans mer¬ ited third. The verse award was also ours, so you see our liter¬ ary trend was quite well estab¬ lished. Kessler represented us in oratory, taking third in that line of endeavor. In athletics, too, our glory was growing. The hucksters repeated past suc¬ cesses. Koester took honors in the tennis tournament. Mc¬ Mahon, Fairfield, Graham, and Donahue added to the glamor of the football season, while Coens, Barkley, Ziepprecht, and Mc¬ Mahon proved their metal on the J. NEILSEN, Secretary basketball floor. This year saw the Gubs the State Gridiron Champions, and the basketeers as quarter-finalists in the Na¬ tional Meet, doubtless a banner year. Fourth Year: We had become more or less specialized, and took the lead in every line of endeavor. Lyons and Schwinn directed the Cee- Ay’s course, assisted by Raker and Weimer. The staff showed a senior sextet among its mem¬ bers. Rosecrans handled the Purgold, with Weimer, Neilsen, Lyons, Schwinn, Lenz, Raker and Gonner figuring prominent¬ ly. Graham, Donahue, and Kess¬ ler upheld speech honors, while our literarys gained more recog¬ nition; Raker took first in verse, with Schwinn holding second. The medal for the Short Story went to Rosecrans, and Lyons copped second in the es¬ say contest. Hird’s story came through with third in a triple tie. Ralph Vogel was added to an ultra-efficient library staff. Kessler, Conlon, Neilsen, Frant- zen, and Justin Kress did good work along the choral line, with a galaxy of seniors forming the mainstay of that organization. Lyons and Neilsen showed up well in Kodak work. Donahue, Fairfield, Kesseler, Graham, and Schwinn figured in a thespian manner. We continued to hold our own in the Bund, while the new C - S. M. C. with Lenz as president, and the Dramatic Club with Graham at its head, both drew to a great extent liom our members. Gonner and Rosecrans figured as violinists. R. BARKLEY. Treasurer Lyons and Raker, Weimer, Gra¬ ber, Tunnissen, and Rosecrans were found on the Honor roll again. Class officers—Traynor, Lyons, Neilsen, and Barkley. We were no less prominent in athletics; Tunnissen was stu¬ dent manager; Donahue and Graham piloted the Gubs through a successful season, with McMahon, Fairfield and Lenz performing splendidly. Captain Barkley, Jim O’Conner, McMahon, Ziepprecht and Coens did nobly in basketball, while the latter was high point man in track. Cis, Moran, Donahue, Ziepprecht, and Will Kress also proved able in this line of en¬ deavor. while Koester took new tennis honors. We had done well, and wrote finis to our rec¬ ord with a flourish. —Harry Rosecrans Page One Hundred Fifty-one HARRY ANDERSON Knowlton, Montana Rand. ' 29. ’30. Museum Staff, 30. 31.

We came to the Academy with soaring ambitions, and expected to see a new glamour added to school life. Football, basketball and track formed a nice background for air castles. We all dreamed of becoming Toners and Barkleys. To our dismay we found we had to work and work hard. Well do we remember the horror of the first six weeks exams, and how timidly we approached the professors for our marks. We laugh now, but these were grim realities then. This year we came back anx¬ ious to meet our old friends, and of course to wreak our revenge on the Freshmen. After several days in school we wondered if we could possibly have been as impertin¬ ent as these Freshmen appeared to be. We sigh and shake our heads gravely after the manner of our betters and extend to the Freshmen our sympathy, confident that they, too. will be wiser next year. -John Becker page One Hundred Sixty-one Second Row—Schaffert.

But before all is finished a short review of the staff that edited the bi-weekly student organ ot the Academy may be of interest. It is about the fol¬ lowing personnel that the De Paul Prep (De Paul. Chicago) says: “Its articles are well written and editorials carefully directed, all showing a hard-working staff.” Although not represented in the picture, the dynamo behind the force is Rev. Fath¬ er U. M. Churchill. Philip Val Schwinn and John Lyons, two able and conscientious executives, superintended the editing, proof-reading and make up. Assistants Raker and Weimer were worthy cooperators. Gonner, O’Rourke, Tunnissen. Mullally, and Bill Kress are the boys who wrote sports in¬ to publicity. Lenz, Graber, Most, and Supple scouted up the news with the Vogel “boys,” Oberhausen, Becker, Palen and Boland as as¬ sistant “Noses for News.” Hank Havlik was always available with his typewriter. Johnny Drennan and Vince Stubstad took care of the circulation. The year is finished.

The Glee Club When tlie Academy Glee Club steps before the tootlignts, black bow ties all in order, the audience forgets past and future to live only in the delightful present. Such was the case when the boys made their ft s. appearance on December IS, at the Parent-Teacher Concert. The entire audience was delighted with the rollicking “Climb Up, Chillun, Climb.“ the eerie “Shadow March,“ and several other numbers. During National Music Week in May. the boys made two appearances, one in the cantata held at the Columbia Gym, and the other in the State contest at Clarke College. At these appearances “a capelin’’ work was Join both in male and in mixed choruses, a great deal of attention being paid to correct singing and interpretation. I he boys made a real hit wiili the audience both times. However, the success of the Glee Club cannot be judged merely by its public appearance. The main purpose of an academy glee club is to give the boys an op¬ portunity to learn and practice the fundamentals of voice culture which will benefit them. To accomplish this end such points as opening the mouth, coirect breathing, relaxing, and proper placing of the tone were continually stressed in practice. This work also gives the student a musical appreciation, a sense of rythmic beauty and an idea of tone quality. Clarence Raker Page One Hundred Sixty-six mm BttCk Row n Mentz, e cU;iiJeller.

In three years time this organization lias developed from a mere dream to a vi¬ brant realization. 1 he first Cee-Ay band was a curious collection without uniform, harmony or discipline. Its odd and sour noises were as a nightmare haunting all the corridors, band rooms and every one time silent retreat. And the ngihtmare con¬ tinued to haunt until time and persistence have transformed the group into an organ¬ ization as pleasing to hear as to see. Today Columbia is proud to present its band all uniformed in blue coats and white duck pants. A complete instrumentality from oboe to piccolo and bassoon all speak in a pleasing symphony of its quality. The reality ol the Academy crack band was a pleasing surprise to many who did not expect so finished an organization in so short a time. The comments received up¬ on its appearances at tootball and basketball games were of surprise and admiration. At the pre-Christmas program during which a mammoth parent-teacher’s meeting was held, the band, an innovation at this sort ot meeting, again merited many laudable comments. Probably its best appearance was made at St. Patrick’s in Cedar Rapids. The easy and vibrant manner in which it rendered both overtures and marches won the praise of all. Many other public appearances have caused the band to be ac¬ cepted as one of the Academy’s most outstanding organ izations. Rev. Father U . Kelly, the oiganizer, has labored incessantly to augment and bet¬ ter the band. Prof. S. C. Dovi, known throughout the state as a band director and organizer ot note, has devoted his time to the insruction and training of the band ac¬ cording to the standards of the best state schools. Under the surveillance of these two able supervisors and coupled with an always willing spirit and strict rules of dis¬ cipline the band has cuperceded all its expectations and will in the future establish a new and higher standard of quality. —Phil Schwinn Page One Hundred Sixty-seven honor roll Lack Row—Corpstein, Cis.

Interpretative Reading The purpose of the Freshman and Sophomore reading contests is to accustom the students to speaking in public. There are three contests held during the school year, tor each class; Father Russell presides, aud calls one student from each division to speak. After the contests ends, a brief talk on public speaking is usually given by some prominent speaker. The picture below shows the winners of the various contests. Of these Driscoll, Norton, Juergens, Knockel, Helle, and Holz were the Freshmen win¬ ners while O’Connor, Sanner, Callaghan, and Dunphy won honors for the second Academics. Standing: Holz, Norton.

T1 ie D ramatic cu “To create an intei’est in dramatics in ouiselves to aftoid entertainment lor others.” As a purpose for a society, this can hardly be outdone—and the twenty-odd members with Graham and .Most as officers and Rev. George Stemm as moderator have striven diligently for the accomplishment of this end. An interest in dramatics means the opening of an entire new field, it means amusement, it means a better rounded man. Think of the wealth of reading material —and surely nothing is read with more interest than an intelligent drama. One-act Plays, witty deep intense whatever type you choose give half an hour ' s relaxation, half an hour in which a few characters are placed in a situation and react to it. Modern three-act plays mysteries if you will, are bmnlul ot interest. Many of them have intricate sub-plots and what is more entertaining than to read through the un¬ tangling of involved situations; or to surmise as to who committed the murder, or as to tlie outcome of a romance? Such reading will inevitably lead us to loieign fields. I he delightful comedies of manners of Goldsmith and Sheridan greet us in England. France gives Moliere. in Russia we find Turgenev and Clieckov with bis masteilul atmospheie. And finally Shakespeare an entire field in himself. Reading these masters will give one a deeper Pleasure in witnessing their productions. Studying dramatic art will bring a greater attentiveness to the fine points of acting, and with this an ability lo criticize intel- ligenly. Rut back to the C. A. Dramatic Club and the second part of its standard, “enter¬ tainment for others.” Surely it you consider its works it ranks among any of our best institutions, although it is the most recently oiganized. I ' age One undred Seventy Tlie Dra amatic Clut “The Flame Leaps Up,” a story of Catholic persecution in Elizabethan England, is one of the club’s works. In consideration of the production mention must be given to John Oberhausen for a capable rendition ot the difficult part of the heroine, and to Tom Donahue for his sympathetic reproduction of the suitor. Acknowledgments are also in order for John Kessler as the admiral, and for Phil Schwinn as the incognito priest. Robert Ernsdorft, Chris Hinckley, and John Corpstein completed the cast. “In the Next Room,” a three-act mystery play, is another of the offerings. Since it is that type ot play written, not around one or two characters, but around the cast as a whole, it is difficult to choose particular stars. However, James Supple undoubt¬ edly gave one ot the best feminine characterizations that the Academy stage has ever seen. Ranking with him we have Richard Sw ' eenev who, in the person of the grandiloquent countess, dominated the stage from the time of his entrance; Allen Fairfield whose acting ot the trench role was minutely excellent; and Robert Czizek whose Paiks gave that genial humor so welcome to any audience. John Kesslei as the American connoisseur handled his part in a business-like mannei. loin Donahue dramatically interpreted the abstruse role of the under-foot¬ man, and John Keipei made an enthusiastic hero. Inspector Grady as portrayed by John Corpstein was typical, while Joe Graham as his assistant and William Poinsett as a lady s maid handled their parts well. Leo Lenz, Jack Neilsen, and Harry Ryan were the rest of the tlicspians. Looking back over this first year’s work of the Academv Dramatic Club, we con¬ clude our review with a confident “ad mult os annos.” —Harry Rosecrans POINSETT, SWEENEY.

Columbia Academy is partic¬ ularly fortunate in possessing a very fine general and reference library of about thirty- five hundred well-catalogued volumes, and fifty-odd magazines secular and religious nature. and fifty-odd and periodicals of a During the oast year the whole library underwent a thorough renovation under the direction of Father Kaufman. The library room wasreflnished. new book shelves were erected a new system of distribution put into effect. Many new books were received and ' all recatalogued. Father Creighton now studying at the Catholic Uni¬ versity of America, spent five months in too work of cataloguing. I he system used in the Congressional Library has been ini tot ucet. The new library has proved a great boon to the student body in general ami has been heavily patronized in the last few months. Kyery student in the school has taken advantage of the vast fund of readily accessible knowledge and no doubt scholastic efforts of each have been more worth wnile. t he The following make up the library staff and assist Father Kaufman in the work of keeping a large circulating library functioning smoothly: Andrew Ralk, .John Kess- John Schroeder, L«eo ler, Clarence Raker, Ralph Vogel.

And if the past is any criterion of the future, a brighter outlook is ahead. Father “Paddy” has ably taken care of the duties of his position in both inter-scholastic and intramural athletics, at the same time endearing himself to all students by his friendly willingness to aid and instruct. During the past six years, he has steadily promoted and increased intramural activities and last year he set a new record for interest and participation in intramural athletics. He has cared for all the equipment and prepared all the schedules. In major athletics he arranged the schedules and sponsored the tournaments, carrying on all the incum¬ bent correspondence. In addition to this Father Patnode is chairman of the Board of the Iowa Catholic High School Association, and Secretary of the Diocesan High School Association. COACH CRETZMEYER The Old Roman, Our Cretz! For the past twenty-one years Prof J. W. Cretzmeyer has been the impelling motive behind the scholastic and athletic ventures of every student. His personality is not only attiacti e but possessor of an indomitable spirit. And this fighting spirit he has imbued into every student. Also Cretz has produced a quality of unexcelled sports¬ manship. His teams are not only distinguished by their technical knowledge and ability, but also by fair play and subsequent triumphs. A Catholic state gridiron champion¬ ship, and both state and diocesan basketball titles are the laurels won this year. But despite all trophies and banners of triumph, he is just “Cretz, Our Coach,” a real Columbian, a man of honor. FATHER COYNE Another name that is closely woven into the fabric of Academy athletics is that of Father Dan Coyne. His work among the boys has been productive of some very fine ic- sults. His first hand knowledge of the leading types of play in all of the major sports enables him to perceive defects readily, and make suggestions that will eliminate them. While in unearthing hidden talent, he has frequently gi en new strength to a squad crippled by the graduation of the regulars. Father Coyne’s position is not lucrative in newspapei publicity, yet it is one of considerable distinction. Not e eiy one is privileged to share in the hopes and disappointments of coach and players alike. His priestly charactei gives scope to an even-tempered disposition and native tact, and fits him for the function of dynamic balancer of the Gubs’ high speed machine.

Footba ns eason The 1930 football season rolled in with mingled hopes and misgivings. Before :• t closed, the Gubs had established themselves as champions of the Catholic High School Association and second only to one team in Academy football history. In the initial clash of the season the Gubs defeated Aquin High of Freeport. 14 to 0, at the Du¬ buque Athletic Field, in the first Academy night game in history. Just one week later, strengthened by the return of McMahon, veteran of two years, the Dubuque eleven took into camp the strong Pio Mono gridders chalking a score of 19 to their opponents’ 0. The fighting Gubs next encountered St. Ambrose Academy, yet due to numerous fumbles and penalties, Columbia was unable to gain a victory and ended in a 6 to 6 tie. Due to the plunging ot McMahon and Graham’s blocking, the Gubs subdued one of the toughest teams on the schedule, St. Bede’s Academy at Peru. Illi¬ nois, 7 to 6. Then the tide changed. In a hard foucht game against the undefeated Cottei High eleven from inona, Minnesota, the Gubs met their first and only defeat ol the season, by a score of 12 to (i. In their next tilt at Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, Cretz’s men spoiled Wayland’s homecoming by walking away with the game, 20 to 0. In this game McMahon scored two touchdowns and one extra point while Lenz. Powers, and McDonald shared in the honors. In the game for the state championship of Iowa, against Des Moines Catholic High on Thanksgiving (Dad’s Day), the Gubs humbled their opponents by taking them into camp with a sco� ' e of 6 to 0. The teamwork which prevailed throughout the season was the greatest asset in their success. Several stars received all-state honors, namely: McMahon, half back: Cocaptain Donahue, tackle, and Lenz. guard. Two men also received second rate honors; these were McDonald, quarterback, and Powers, end. no —Henry Conner Page One Hundred Seventy-seven “Otto’s ’ graduation will leave a vacancy in the Gubs’ line that will make our opponents rejoice. This big, husky tackle has amply proved his ability to give and take on a large scale during his two years as a regular tackle. Not to be daunted by the size or aggressiveness of the opposing forwards, he was able to arouse and inspire his teammates when there was a sudden threat or a stiff yard to be made for downs. It was largely his steady and sure defensive work that won him the distinction of All-State Tackle, no less than the honor of co-captain. JOSEPH GRAHAM “Bullet Joe” showed himself a clever fullback and a dauntless leader on the field. He could be relied on at any time the occasion demanded to drive for telling yards. His neat blocking frequently paved the way for substantial gains, and his sure tackling added strength to the Gubs’ defense, —a Gibraltar defense, a defense that stemmed all attacks threatening the state title. JAMES MCDONALD “Mickey’s’’ meteoric rise 10 stardom has been unequaled at the Academy for some time. On the offense, this elusive, eel-hipped quarterback like a shot from a cannon, tore to shreds the enemy defenses throughout the season, never going down before more than two tacklers had clung on to him. On the defense, he was smart, alert and keen of judg¬ ment. That “fighting Irish” spirit which predominates all of “Mickey’s” actions was a great asset in the many tough games ol the season.

Basketball S eas on With the return of four of last year’s letter men around whom to build a winner, the Academy Clubs experienced a very successful cape season chalking up ten wins against four defeats. In all but one contest, the locals were able to defeat their vic¬ tors in a return match, and that one exception existed because no return match was scheduled with that team. Starting off on the wrong foot the unpolished Cubs lost their first game to Platte- ville High at Platteville 17 to 7. shortly before the Christmas holidays. After trounc¬ ing St. Mary’s of Sterling 31 to d. on the local door, in which () Connor accounted for IK of the 31 points scored, the Cubs took the Monticello High quintet into camp. 27 to 3. In the hard fought battle with St. Thomas ol Hockford. the Cubs met their second defeat of the season, bowing before the visitois to . the inability to net set up shots after the ball had been worked past the opponents delense resulted in locals’ failure to come through. The fighting junior Columbians then traveled to Free port and trounced Aquin, 22 to 15. as O’Connor again led the attack with 9 points. In the fray which followed the Cubs encountered St. Patrick s the strong quintet from Cedar Rapids, who had lost hut one game. Although functioning perfectly, offensively they lacked the punch and bowed before their adversaries. H to 13. Hounding into form once more, the locals defeated St. Wenceslaus of t edat Rapids on the home floor. 22 to fj, McDonald and O’Connor scoring 12 of the 22 points. At Davenport the Cubs fell before St. Ambrose in a fast and exciting tilt. I to 12. I his was the locals’ last defeat. In the following six contests the (mbs scored 130 points against their opponents’ SF .

O’CONNOR ZIEPRECHT McDonald McMAMON 9 PUMOLP m Intramural Football If there is any one thing that has characterized Father Patnode, athletic director of the Academy, it is the way in which he has organized intramural athletics at our Academy. Intramural programs have been provided in football, basketball, baseball and boxing. About two hundred fifty students compete in these contests annually. Football is the most important of these programs. In order to accommodate the Junior class of enthusiasts, the Head of the Department has arranged two leagues with members of the faculty as coaches of the teams. In the major league there is the day student “Dodger ' ’ team and the boarder “Russeller” team. The minor league consists of the boarder “Teenie-Weenies” and the day student “Little Warriors” and “Midgets.” In the major or “heavyweight” league there was a bitter struggle for supremacy between the Dodgers, coached by Father Gannon, and the Russellers, coached by Fath¬ er Coyne. The Dodgers received the championship, but the boarders were not easily outwitted. The first two games were Dodger victories, X to 6 and 7 to G respectively. The next two contests were fought to scoreless ties. The fifth game was an easy victory for the Russellers, who won 12 to 0. The sixth game decided the champion¬ ship and it was a royal battle. The two teams battled on even grounds until the Dodgers completed a pass which was converted into the lone touchdown of the game. Bob Lawson was the most consistent ground-gainer for the Russellers while Cooling and Weitz made the most yards for the Dodgers. The teams of the minor or “Lightweight” league, although less experienced, dis¬ played some fine individual football talent. I he 1 1 enie-W eenies, coached by Father Churchill, were easily the champions. In lour contests they were undefeated and only one touchdown was scored against them. 1 he Little Warriors coached by Father Fer- ring gained one victory, while Father Enzler s Midgets did not win a game. The main¬ stays of the Teenie Weenies were Pohl, Jack O’Brien, Schnabel and John Propsom. The chief ground-gainers for the Little Warriors were Joe Kelley and Voelker. Mel¬ lon, Kinney and F. Spahn weie the high-lights for the Midgets. Father Patnode awarded monograms to eighty-five players at a program held in the auditorium on December 1 . The officiating for these intramural contests is ably done by Father Theobald and Father Skahill of the College faculty. Besides fulfilling the primary intention ot “athletics for all,” the intramural leagues are important for another reason. I hej Rhe a i emote preparation and train¬ ing to all the candidates who later aspire to positions on the “Galloping Gubs.” On the opposite page we have a picture ot the Champion Gubs back field of 1930. All of these men rose from the intramural leagues. Captain Giaham worked his way up from an intramural team called the Pygmies (this team is no longer in the league). McMahon, all-state half-back, began his tootball caieei at Columbia on the Dodger team. McDonald showed up so well as quai tei-back on the Russellers of last year that he became a first string man on the Cubs Moran graduated from the Teenie W r eenies and then received a position as halfback on the Gub machine. —Leo Lenz intramural teams Upper Left (1): Upper Right (2): Upper ' enter (3) Lower (Voter ( l) Lower Loft ffi): Lower Right (( ): Circular Insets: Skahill.

They usually are selected from those who hold secretarial or accountant positions. In positions of that kind there is close as¬ sociation with leaders. That association off¬ ers unsurpassed opportunities to learn from successful people how to handle difficulties. T liey, themselves, are given responsibilties Naturally as they prove their ability they are advanced. Secretarial work calls for a high degree ol skill and broad general knowledge. Bayless College courses ar planned to develop that ability in you. If you are interested we w ill be glad to tell ou about the requirements of such a posi¬ tion and its possibilities.
