Page Four FOREWORD © Realizing that the parting of the ways was all too near, we of the Senior class choose this means of projecting our friendships into the future, and of perpetuating the pleasant associations formed dur¬ ing our stay at Columbia. If at any time in the future, when the cares of life are upon us, a perusal of these pages brings a smile or drives away a tear we shall feel our efforts amply rewarded. TRIBUTE These pages would not be complete without a word of tribute to one whose generous co-operation has been a great factor in the ultimate success of this work. Father Fitzgerald, by his kindly advice and his wholehearted interest, has won t he undying grati¬ tude of the Senior Class. Much of the credit for any success which this work may enjoy is due to the efficient supervision of the faculty moderator, the Reverend James J. Donohue. His thoughtful suggestions and kindly aid have merited the heartfelt thanks of the members of the Senior Class, who take this opportunity of expressing their gratitude. DEDICATION REVEREND ARTHUR J.

Unwritten, and destined never to be written, is this compendium of truth that is stranger than fiction. The tales of achievements gained and crosses borne, of battles won and bat¬ tles lost, in short, of all the adventures and experiences of four years of college life, shall never grace the printed page. In the deep recesses of sixty minds, basically similar but diverging in details, lie sixty class histories, stories from real life that will be an unquenchable source of pleasant memories. Four years ago we straggled up to Loras Heights, an unheralded band of raw recruits to the ranks of higher education. The Faculty, having surveyed us with a cold, appraising eye, and fearing to hazard any predictions, maintained a stoic silence. In this we find no cause for censure. Sober reflection has convinced us that an inward sigh or a smothered groan would not have been unwarranted. To their credit it must be said that the professors would not con¬ cede defeat without a struggle; on the contrary they seemed deter¬ mined to put forth Herculean efforts and they proceeded to take spe¬ cial pains in our behalf. The results were gratifying. With the deft strokes of master craftsmen they cut away the dross and were rewarded with faint glimmerings of the richer metal. Then the upperclass men began to favor us with liberal applications of deftly-placed marks of affection. This, together with the mutual attrition that is the boon of group life, soon brought the first rudiments of polish. In the classroom we acquitted ourselves nobly and the Honor Roll for the first quarter included a goodly number of freshmen. On the football field members of our class thrust themselves into both line and backfield and three freshmen won the major C . In basketball we pre¬ dominated from the start. In our initial year twelve of the fifteen men on the squad were freshmen and the frosh won seven of the nine letters. The interclass track meet was the next athletic honor to be won by our class. On the stage, in the orchestra, band, and choir, on the staff of the Lorian, and in the literary and elocution contests freshmen played a Page Thirty-two prominent part. The frosh won the doubles of the bowling tournament and the Freshman Revue, a mission benefit show, was a great success. Through our sophomore and junior years we continued to garner laurels, broadening out into wider fields of activity as our latent powers became more fully developed. Came then the dawn of our Senior year and the climax of our college careers. Perhaps our greatest achieve¬ ment of this year is the revival of the Purgold, which had not been pub¬ lished for a number of years, but we have made outstanding contribu¬ tions to every campus and classroom activity. In a group of such caliber it is hard to pick outstanding members, and yet, even as in a forest of tall trees here and there a lordly oak or a majestic pine overtops his fellows, so in our class there are certain out¬ standing individuals who deserve special mention. On the Honor Roll, Most has quite consistently held first place. Ernsdorff, Kerndt, Leinfel- der, and Tekippe, merited the distinction of being included in the 1936 edition of Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Blecha served efficiently as student manager of athletics. O ' Rourke as editor of the Spokesman, and Casey at the helm of the Lorian, carried those publications to new heights of journalistic and lit¬ erary excellence. To Editor Mitchell of the Purgold goes the lion ' s share of the credit for the splendid success of that work. Ryan and Corpstein were outstanding actors in the Dramatic club. Cletus James, by his excel¬ lent work on scenery and stage settings, proved himself an artist par excellence. John Becker had the distinction of having an original play produced. Vaske was prominent in German elocution as were Vazquez and Steiner in French elocution. In football Werhan was an all-conference guard. McDonald as the pony guard, was the spark plug of the basketball team for four years and merited all-conference honors in his last two years; Nicks won four letters as a stellar forward. Lohberg was outstanding among the bowlers. • j- ' S cou continued until the special achievements of each individual had been duly extolled, but lack of space forbids. The indi- vi uals mentioned, for one reason or another, appeared to stand out rom the group, a group which as a whole was well above the average. t ers there are who quietly and consistently gave their best, and justly ment commendation.

Juniors! We have tasted the wine of success and have quaffed the dregs of rebuff as we have travelled the beaten path toward that shad¬ owy goal that in our Freshman year seemed so unobtainable. Three years we have spent within the walls of Loras—busy years, years that have left the stamp of the class of ' 37 indelibly upon those about us. On the gridiron captain-elect Leary was outstanding. Croker, Mc¬ Donald, and Broderick were regular starters. The biggest surprise of the football season was the rapid development of Kelleher at the guard posi¬ tion. Koester and Fitzgerald are other grid warriors who deserve mention. In tennis it was the doubles team of McDonald and O ' Connor which brought home the Conference title. Last year the tennis team was made up entirely of our classmates, Captain O ' Connor, Captain- elect McDonald, McGuire, Stanton and Harker. In basketball the class of 37 has placed a man on All-Conference teams for three years. This year it was Bill Leary who was accorded the honor at the pivot position. Our class is further blessed (?) by having in its ranks a man who deserves the title Rock of Chivalry Slaughterhouse Al Quillan. Twice, once as a freshman and again this year, he has fought in defense of the weaker sex! , wo Y ears w e have dominated the class track meet and class bas- e a ’ George Phelan captured the C. Y.

At the out¬ set it was seen to be capable of unprecedented conquests over the upperclassmen, noteworthy incursions into the field of sport, and equally fine results in scholastic competition. In the rash vigor of its young powers, the Freshman class suc¬ ceeded well in living up to the prophetic visions of the aged Juniors. A lively campaign resulted in the election of Thomas Kerndt, president; Joseph Graber, vice-president; Richard Reynolds, secretary; John Glea¬ son, treasurer; Al White, speaker; Jerome Baxter, cheerleader. This representative group acted as a spearhead for the class as it pierced the sacred ranks of Columbia ' s Vested Choir, Lorian staff, Student Mis¬ sion societies and Dramatic clubs. Football saw color in the field only after such stalwarts as Johnny Paul, Kehoe, White and Nagy put in their bid for service and ultimate fame. Kehoe and Paul, together with their intra-mural sport associates, again shook the pillaring tradition against Frosh lettermen by perform¬ ing frequently on the hardwood of Loras gym. The championship of the intra-mural football tournament was captured last fall, and Frosh basketeers, bowlers, and netsters have maintained their initial reputation. Robert Swift and William McKinley upheld the prestige of the class in the oratorical contests, each placing high in the Traveling Mis¬ sion Contest and the Annual Oratorical Survey, respectively. The tal- ent for the spring stage performances was largely made up of Fresh- Rev. Dr. A. Dress has initiated a great many first-year choristers In , ' s organization, and the Lorian has carefully selected a large group ot Freshmen news-hawks. AH in all, the present younger brothers to Columbia ' s tradition nave een well initiated into college life during their first year. It is expec ed that practically every individual will return to finish the work so we started, thus insuring a loftier and finer character built from the oun a ion laid under the skillful guidance of Columbia.

THE LORIAN Editors ' in ' Chicf: Leinfeldcr, 1st semester: Coyle, 2nd semester Sports Editors: Coyle, 1st semester: Glass, 2nd semester Business Manager: Coerhauscn Moderator: Rev. W. D. Green The year 1936 saw THE LORIAN pass through its twelfth year as the official student paper at Columbia. Published fortnightly, THE LORIAN has been an excellent record of student activities. As a new feature this year, THE LORIAN became affiliated with the Asso¬ ciated Collegiate Press, a service which provides all news of interest to college students. Likewise it issues with each number of THE LORIAN, the Collegiate Digest, an eight-page rotogravure sheet containing newsworthy photographs from representative colleges. In step with its usual high standards, the editorial staff has produced a type ot college paper that is complete from the student viewpoint. From the accurate reporting ot campus incidents and the mature tone of its editor¬ ials, to an attractive sports page, this paper represents an intelligent piece of student editing. The business staff evidenced its usefulness by the efficient way in which both local and national advertising was handled. The staff typists and copyreaders were capable middlemen between editor and printer, and the circulation manager ' s value was seen when every second Friday brought the paper to Loras Hall. To Father Green, Lorian moderator, goes the gratitude of the student body. His many valuable suggestions and criticisms in publication speak of a journalistic experience which echoes itself in the work of the student editors. 1 Patje Fifty-two Row 1: Phelan, R.

LORAS MISSION UNIT President: Mitchell Vice-President: Phelan Moderator: Rev. N. A. StclFcn That college students are vitally interested in the work of both the home and foreign missions is evidenced by the work accomplished by the LORAS MISSION UNIT for the Propagation of the Faith. Organized to promote missionary activb ties among the college students, the unit has proved a success. To help sustain work in the mission field, the Columbia unit has several lucrative sources of revenue. The members of the LORAS MISSION UNIT coiv tact the students of the various classes for an annual fee for the Propagation of tie aith, and in Loras Hall the unit operates a Mission Store which caters to student needs. Considerable revenue is obtained from the sale of daily and Sunday ? CX V S P ' tl P£ rs , and from the candy vendors at athletic contests in the gymnasium, in March of this year, the college dramatic club staged three one-act plays for the , ene , t ° Y missions. As a result, Columbia College is able to forward several hundred dollars yearly to the diocesan director for the missions. t u n i Cr 5 lt: ° r accom phshments of this student activity reverts to Join itc u and jeoige Phelan, whose unselfish work throughout the year is greatly responsible lor the increasing success of the project. To Father Steffen, spiritual director, goes the honor for his work as moderator, and his untiring zeal has become the inspiration of the student body. i Pape Fifty-three Row 1: Hogan, McDermott, J.

THE LITTLE FLOWER SOCIETY General Chairman: Axen Vice-Chairman: O ' Dowd Treasurer: Straub Secretary: Harms Custodian: Hogan Moderator: Rev. A. J. Breen The LITTLE FLOWER OF JESUS SOCIETY has blossomed out of a drive for a statue of the Little Flower, a few years ago. Because of the student support find interest in the plan, it was decided to organize a society to promote devotion to the Little Flower. This society is open to all students at Columbia and is one of the few ' on the campus open to the members of the faculty. The purpose of the society is fourfold: To initiate and sponsor devotion to St. Theresc, The Little Flower of Jesus: to seek her special intercession tor those who participate in devotion to her in Loras chapel: to seek her favor and patron¬ age in helping Columbia men successfully complete their college careers and suc¬ cessfully choose a vocation; and to provide means of sustaining devotion to the Little Flow ' cr through Masses and other special devotions. Evidence of the Society ' s work is an inspirational devotion to he students at Columbia.

Steffen The ACOYLTICAL SOCIETY at Columbia is one which consists entirely of voluntary service on the part of students. As a result, the organization has ably fulfilled its purpose, and its members have dutifully taken care of the various needs of the Loras Hall and St. Joseph ' s Hall chapels. The society has a dignity of its own produced by the sacrifice of its members who contribute generously to carry out the purpose of their society. It is the function of the society to supervise community prayer, make prep arations for divine services, train servers, and care for the vestments and altars When the occasion demanded it, the society provided an organist for chapel music This year was a singularly interesting one for the ACOLYTICAL SOCL ETY when the removal of the library to larger quarters caused an improved chapel to be located on the fourth floor of Loras Hall. Within the society itself special credit is due Messrs. Crubel, Schmitz and Krapfl for their exceptional work as sacristans during their residence in Loras Hall. Likewise the Gratitude of the student body is extended to Gerald Skahill who willingly donated lus services as organist.

Dr. A. Dress Business Manager: Rev. M. M. Hoffman Under the season tutelage of Dr. Alphonse Dress, the Columbia College VESTED CHOIR this year attained a peak which places it among the most successful choirs in the history of Columbia. Mastery of polyp ori an | ain chant alike gave the choir an enviable repertoire never better evinced than at the Cathedral on Palm Sunday when the acclaim of the singing was unanimous. The primary function of the choir is to provide music for the religious services during the scholastic year and this the choir did in a manner befitting the solemnity and sanctity of the sanctuary. Early in December the choir handled the musical score tor the dramatic premiere of “Within These Walls and appeared in Iowa City when the pro¬ duction was staged there in conjunction with the dramatic department of the State University No small part of the play ' s success is attributable to the a capella renditions of the choir. On the various feast days and especially on the patronal feast of the col- lege Dr Dress ' well-trained group added a festive touch to the day s proceed¬ ings’ and closed the scholastic year with an inspired performance on Bacca- laureate Sunday. In addition to these appearances a double quartet prepared an interesting group of secular numbers and was well received by the audiences at the insti¬ tutions and societies where the eight men appeared.

MONOGRAM CLUB President: Daniel Werhan Secretary: Howard Leamy Moderator: Rev. M. M. Hoffman The MONOGRAM CLUB is an organisation of Columbians who have earned their major sweaters by serving the eollege in intercollegiate athletics. In order to combine the various interests of the letter men in different athletic events, the MONOGRAM CLUB became a campus society to further the needs of these men. The letter men from football, basketball, track, tennis and the newly revived baseball as an intercollegiate sport at Columbia are members of the club, the only official athletic society at the college. Because of the amateur standing of inter collegiate athletics, the reward of the letter and sweater is the highest recognition conferred on athletes for their services to the college, and the MONOGRAM CLUB therefore strives to see that only the deserving merit this recognition. Another of its purposes is to see that this form of recognition is reserved for atlv leties alone, and that the purple “C is used by no other organization. Further, the club fosters the ideals of good sportsmanship both in intercollegiate and intramural athletics. Through the co-operation of Father Hoffmann as moderator, the objectives of the MONOGRAM CLUB were satisfactorily realized during the year 193 36.

Particularly stressed are the morals and ethics involved in specific cases applicable to modern life. Within the SODALITY itself a number of study clubs are organized, each assigned to deal with the different phases of problems affecting modern life under our present governmental and economic systems. The head of each study group appoints various men to prepare reports and read papers before the SODALITY on subjects in their respective spheres. Often open forum discussions are held after each report. Such questions as the wage problem, local and national, the morality of a minimum wage, the ethics of private property and kindred subjects of a social and economic nature are discussed.

For the first time in its history the club was joined with the University of Iowa ' s Dramatic Department. As a part of a Federal Theatre project and through the help of Professor E. C. Mabie, Director of the University Theatre, a world premiere of an original play was staged on December 8th. The play was a story of life in a Trappist Monastery, written by Marcus L. Bach, after he had made a retreat at Our Lady of Trappist of Gethsemani, Kentucky. Mr. Bach, director under a Rockefeller grant at Iowa University, was so impressed with the life of the Trappist monks, their sacrifice and devotion, that he helped by means of the stage to bring something of this life to the hearts of Christians everywhere. The play briefly portrays the experience of a young catholic boy who felt he had a call to become a Trappist and who in following that call abandoned father, mother, friends, and the world to serve the h lester. Father George A. Stemm, who at the present time is studying at the University of Iowa, returned to produce the play with the co-opera- tion of several drama students of the University. Mr. Hunton D. Sell- man the well known author of several books on stage lighting, worked out the very effective light plot. Messrs. Protovo, Clay, and Professor ison designed and executed the settings for the eleven scenes and provided a very clever Gothic arch motif which did much towards cre¬ ating the correct atmosphere for such a play. Page Sixty ' five WITHIN THESE WALLS The day following the presentation, the success of the portrayal was described in the Telegraph as follows: The World Premiere of ' Within The se Walls, ' by Marcus L. Bach, which took place Sunday night in the Columbia College auditorium, was perhaps the most remarkable play Dubuque has ever seen. The atmosphere of the tense drama, excitement more powerful because subdued, which was created in the first scene, was successfully sustained to the final curtain. It was relieved only by the sublime beauty of the monastery chant¬ ing and peaceful contemplative lives of the ordinary monks as contrasted wi the lives of the few around whom the play centers. Herbert Boland portraye the leading character, Charles Cantrell, with such warmth and sincerity that he was at all times convincing, and that is very important, for e ro e ' one. Charles must be made an intensely religious young man and time his essential normality must be stressed, so that the aud ' ence wi sympathy with him. Mr. Boland struck this balance perfectly and hjs was dramatically effective. There was nothing amateurish about his ' natural grace lent them the dignity and beauty necessary for such a Lester Capesius, as the saintly but too strict Father Prior who P ra ® s discipline upon the new postulant Charles, was a powerful and determi acter Johrfcorpstein ' s interpretation of the kindly old Father Confessor whose superior wisdom makes Sim understand the frailties of men. was human and always creditable. James Jehrinq supplied the play’s only comedy element in his role of the Father Suest Master, the monk whose jolly and realistic acceptance of life gave much comfort to Charles. As the agonized mother of Charles, Mary Manders gave one of the fin¬ est performances of her long and distinguished career Clement Hogan was direct and very real as Charles ' father Mary Ann Vodicka as his l,++le s,ster ti M n q iUp crazed Brother Benedictine, Thomas Knox as the dyfng ' Abbob Y Joh Y n Becker as the other postulant Herbert, and Paul Schuster as the aged Brother Francis, all contributed excellent bits of characterization. Messrs Ernsdorf, O’Dowd, Germain, Swift and James, who served on the technical crew, should be credited with no small part of the success of the play. Pa c Sixty-six CALLISTA The setting in which the action takes place was in the ancient world during the earlier centuries when the Christians were persecuted with a vigor. Excel¬ lent casting, directing, and stage management made a success of this drama. The lead in this play was taken by John Becker as Agellius, a Christian who was tempted by scheming relatives to leave the church, but who after a senes of events before the end, died a martyr ' s death taking along with him another convert to his faith. The treacherous relatives (Jucundus, Harry Ryan; Juba, Fred Carthew- and Ansto, James Gleason) attempted to persuade Agellius to marry the beautiful maiden Callista, Joan Wellman, who was a pagan, thus forcing him to apostatize. The climax is reached as Callista herself is converted to the faith of her lover M etr de0th ' The Par ‘ ° f Asper ' a was • • J f n T? ed ? r | ' a s+udent , of+he S f ni °r Class, adapted this play from the original. The dialogue was clever and the emotional element which formed the ma|or basis for the play was also very well developed.

J Pajzc Sixty ' scvcn HARLEQUINADE In collaboration with the Mission Society, the Columbia College Dramatic Club presented to an eager audience the one-act play entitled The Harlequin¬ ade. Under the direction of the Rev. James Donohue who selected the tal¬ ented cast, and his able staff of stage workers, including Robert Ernsdorff, Clarence O ' Dowd and Henry Oermain, the play struck a high chord in dra¬ matic responsiveness. The scene was set in London England. Robert Hamm took the role of the clever crook, Flambeau, who stages a very clever pantomime to cover up his cunning theft of a valuable set of diamonds from Sir Leopold Fisher. This part was taken by Cletus James who mimicked a comical and typical old gentleman in a state of bewilderment because of the amazing sequence of events. The crime is solved by Paul Schuster enacting the part of a timid but sage old priest. Miss Lorraine Kies as Ruby Adams, and Herbert Boland as John Drook, a so¬ cialist, supply the romance, which serves as a coverup for a most atrocious mauling of Donald Sweeney, the policeman. Paul Grace plays the part of the old fashioned villain, drawing many laughs. CAPTAIN APPLEJACK Excellent casting and directing by the Rev. James Donohue made a suc¬ cess of this melodramatic play. Harry Ryan played the leading role of Am¬ brose Applejack, the staid English gentleman, who, being bored by living in the same rut for a considerable part of his life, suddenly shocks Anna Marie Dolin, his ward (Anna Marie Weber), and his butler (Paul Schuster), by a deci¬ sion to sell the home and go into the world to seek adventure. Because of the story told by a real estate agent, Fred Kenline, of a hid¬ den treasure used as a selling point, the quiet and solitude of the estate ' s abruptly broken by the arrival of a Russian dancer (Jane Kies), a doshevi (John Corpstein), Lionel and Horace Pengard (Paul Grace and Robert Hamm), and a phonie policeman (Jean Schneider), who plot to gain possession ot the treasure. During the midnight watch Ambrose falls asleep and dreams of himself as a pirate captain quelling a mutiny. Later the methods used in this repulsion are employed with a shock to all. Upon finding that the treasure story was made up, he gave the map to the villains who disappear as he phones the police. The romance which was creeping out with his ward now blossoms and he is more than satisfied to resume the regular rut. ■ Page Sixty-cight PREMIERE I SOCIETY Page Seventy HOMECOMING To the stirring Onward Old Columbia, the huge bonfire was lighted Fri- da y evemng, thus striking the flint which ignited Columbia ' s Homecoming.

HEITKAMP - Director As Head of the Athletic Camp of the Duhawks, Professor Heitkamp has given his utmost efforts in providing the best for our warriors. His words, in times of defeat, form a source of inspiration for each and every athlete. His interest in each indi¬ vidual portrays in full the type of sportsmanship which he endorses. We, as Seniors, thank you, professor, for your will¬ ing co-operation and genuine zeal in furthering the cause for the innovation of baseball. 1 Niemicc Rev. D. B. Coyne Blcelia SPORTS STAFF COACH JOHN NIEMIEC FOOTBALL Johnny came to us in order to take over the grid reins. Having been a student of the Rockne school, he quickly adapted himself to our dire needs. In two years he has produced two spectacular teams. Progress can be well noted through the polish and poise which drapes our boys; and by fall, Johnny should have the Columbia Duhawks topping the Iowa Circuit. May good fortune grace you, Coach Niemiec. REV. DANIEL B. COYNE BASKETBALL Father Coyne started his campaign four years ago. I—lis first greeting was a large squad of green freshmen. From such he has developed some of the most outstanding basketball men in the state of Iowa. Each year he has at least one man placed on the all-conference list. With Father Coyne at the helm the Duhawks have mounted high, and for the last two years we have held second place in the conference standing. CHARLES BLECHA STUDENT MANAGER Chuck represents the student body on the Athletic Board. His work in oo ball and basketball has gained for him much honor. His ready co- operat ' on has placed him topmost in esteem among his fellow students. Chuck s enthusiasm can be said to have been very instrumental for much ot the success of our Qthletic encounters. Page Scvcnty ' sevcn FOOTBALL Wcrhan Leary Lea my DAN WERHAN All-Conference Guard CAPTAIN Dan portrayed the real type of a leader. He was consistent in his blocking and tackling which provided a constant inspiration for the Duhawks. This was Werhan ' s last year for the Purple and Gold. He leaves a sore spot in the line which will indeed be difficult to fill. Cap ¬ tain Werhan made Columbia ' s Hall of Fame by being selected to a guard berth on the All-Conference eleven. BILL LEARY End CAPTAIN-ELECT Bill played the left flank position for the Columbia gridders. Few yards were gained in or outside of Bill ' s post. It seemed but a simple act for Leary to completely smash a wedge interference. Bill proved himself to be, by far, the most aggressive man on the squad. With Leary at the front for ' 36, the Duhawk eleven should go far in the Iowa Conference. HOWIE LEAMY Halfback Voted Most Valuable Man Leamy well deserves this distinction of being the most valuable man on the squad; and moreso since it was determined by the voting of his teammates. It was Leamy ' s clever passing which always caused a threat to the enemy secondary. And in the Central game, when we needed yards, it was Howie who also showed himself to be an elusive ball toter. Being a Sophomore, he has two remaining years in which to assist the j Columbians to the front. haniKZ Page Seventy-eight McDonald Halfback Junior Kellcher (luarJ Junior Kocstcr Halfback Junior R.

La Crosse Teachers defeated the Columbia gridders 13 ' 6, in the opening tussle of the year. Nearly one thousand fans saw the Duhawks display a fighting spirit throughout the game, but an inter¬ cepted pass and a blocked kick on the goal line, both netting touchdowns for the Wisconsinites, were heart¬ breaking odds which the Columbia men were not quite able to overcome. Displaying an undaunted fighting spirit instilled in the Purple and Gold eleven by Coach John Niemicc, with Howie Lcamy heaving long and deadly passes behind an impregnable forward wall, the crowd was brought screaming to their feet as the Nicmiecmen began a goal march which was brought to a climax as Lcamy. for the 5th consecutive time, drew back and shot a perfect pass to Leary standing beneath the goal posts. ( LUMBIA, 18 IOWA WESLEYAN. 0. The “Monday Morning quarterbacks, who could sec not ing but dark days ahead for the Nicmiecmen after the La Crosse opener the week before, were sent scurrying under cover as the Duhawks swept down on the Iowa Wesleyan camp on Saturday, October 5, an .inked their opponents while they themselves were rolling up 18 points to win the opening conference u.imc o tie year. This game, played at Mt. Pleasant, was one of the best performances in the act of grid- 1-! n t | Jn ? e d y a Duhawk machine in recent years and the Columbia players, without exception, stood Lti an shoulders over the team that met the Red and White gridders on Municipal Field but a week before.

Two hundred Du- buquers journeyed southward only to witness the most heart braking afternoon ever spent by a Duhawk eleven. Primed by their crushing defeat over the Mt. Pleasant lads the week before, 2,700 fans saw the Duhawks outplay and outclass the Blue and Whites throughout the afternoon, they witnessed the fact that the Columbians pounded out fourteen first downs to the Saint s six, only to have lady luck desert her in the crucial moments. A fatal first quarter, marked by a blocked kick on our goal line and an intercepted pass, gave the Davenporters a formidable 13-point lead. COLUMBIA, 19—CENTRAL, 14. Central, next in line on Friday evening, October IS, was the victim that felt the fury of Johnny Nicmicc ' s pent-up herd, a holocaust to the gods of the gridiron to soothe the stinging wounds inflicted a week previous. Before two thousand enthusiastic fans, Columbia s fighting Dm hawks smashed the battling gridmen from Pella, who were out to atone for last years defeat. Late in the first quarter, Howard Lcamy let go a prodigious pass to Kchoc who took the ball on the goal line and stepped over for the first touchdown. The passing combination of Lcamy to Kchoc proved irreproachable and resulted in two more counters for the Duhawks. With Captain Werhan. Leary, Schramm, Kruse constantly messmg up the Dutchmen’s plays, Columbia was on the long end of a 19-14 score as the game ended.

The diminutive Duhawk guard, by graduation, has taken away the nucleus of Columbia ' s offense. BILL LEARY CENTER ALL-CONFERENCE Bill is one of the fastest and best shooting pivot-men in the Iowa Circuit. In the closely contested Central game, when most of our men were off, it was Leary who led a valiant comback by his quick passing and excellent shooting. Being a Junior, Bill has one more year in which to compete for the Columbia quint; and with him at the fore the Du- hawks can easily look forward to a victorious season.

The Columbia basketball live opened the 193 5-36 season with a victory over Plattcvillc Miners on the evening of December 4. in the College gym. It was a typical early season game with neither team showing exceptional scoring power. The second half brought a much better brand of basketball than was exhibited during the first, with the Duhawks holding the ball continually. Due mainly to the splendid defensive work and scoring punch furnished by Columbia ' s ex-captain and all-Iowa star, Mickey McDonald, they pulled away from the visitors toward the end of the game.

The Duhawks again took up their relentless attack as the second period began. Toward the final minutes of the game, the Wild¬ cats began connecting with long range damage: Knockel, Kruse and McDonald however continued to slam in shots and cinched the victory. COLUMBIA, 34 ST.

Row 3: Geisler, Moran, Bauer, Schmitz, Denker, Klass, Shanahan. BASEBALL SQUAD The announcement that baseball was to be an intercollegiate sport with John Niemiec, Duhawk football mentor, Notre Dame football star and former baseball coach at Rice Institute, Texas, as coach, was met with the enthusiastic approval of both student body and alumni. The severe winter and late spring retarded the opening of practice. Over 50 men reported for the initial session, but after two weeks of intensive drill the squad was cut to 24, with the following men receiving regular suits: Lohberg, Nicks, Paul, Melloy, Kramer, Kolfenbach, Reed, Phelan, Glass, McDonald, Fitz¬ gerald and Kehoe. Phelan behind the plate Reed on third and Kramer at first proved to be the nucleus of the team. A series of home-to-home games was scheduled with Platteville Teachers, Luther College, Upper Iowa and St. Ambrose. Thus far but three games have been played, one with Platteville Teachers and two with Luther. The opening tilt on April 25, with Platteville, which ended 7-4 in favor of the Tutors, was proof to the Duhawk fans that within a few years Columbia ' s baseball teams will be on a par with the best of them. All of the Platteville runs were made in one bad inning, due to a let-up in pitching and erratic playing on the part of the outfield. The lads were less fortunate against j Luther College of Decorah, in the home-to-home series on April 28 and May The veteran Norse team blanked the Duhawks in both games. J Page Nincty ' onc Row 1: Ellsworth, McDonald. Row 2: Kcnlinc, Lapen, Sonnkalb. TENNIS Displaying rare form, the Columbia tennis team blazed through the 1934- 35 season establishing one of the finest records to be found in the annals of Columbia. Captain Francis O’Connor turned in perhaps the finest individual record in the history of the Duhawk netsters, taking every match during the season, and stroking his way to the finals of the Conference meet at Cedar Falls, only to loose to Ainley of Simpson after a fierce battle. Larry McDon¬ ald battled through the season winning all of his single matches and then fought his way up to the semi-finals of the state meet. When these two paired to¬ gether, they were invincible. Not only did they win every game during the season, but they turned on Ainley and his partner in the state meet and copped the state doubles title. Straub and Richards, the two other members of the team, showed flashes of brilli ance during the season and give promise of being valuable assets to the squad this year. During the course of the season, the Purple and Gold took the measure of Iowa Wesleyan, Simpson, State Teachers and on three occasions Luther fell vic¬ tim to the smashes of O ' Connor and McDonald. The loss of O ' Connor is a severe blow to the squad for the approaching schedule, but the ' 36 captain, McDonald, promises a fighting aggregation picked from such men as Ellsworth, Lagen, Kenline, Straub and Sonnkalb. A tentative schedule has been drawn up for the current season which in¬ cludes two matches with Luther, Coe College, St. Ambrose, University of i Dubuque and other Iowa loop teams will complete the schedule. The confer- | ence meet at Des Moines will take place some time late in May. fcoriftJl Page Ninety two INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL Interest in intramural football was redoubled in the fall of ' 35 with three teams battling away for dear old Si- wash. The Juniors and Seniors com¬ bined to put one team on the firing line while the Sophs and Freshmen each put a scrappy eleven on the field. The Freshman team was able to lord it over the upper-class teams, being superior on both offense and defense. In the first scrap they downed the Sophs 7-6. The Junior-Senior eleven held the first- year men to a scoreless tie in the next game; the Sophs, suffering from injuries of the previous game, forfeited to the Freshmen in their second scheduled contest, thus giving the Freshies un¬ disputed claim to the intramural cham¬ pionship. BOWLING Bowling began with four organized student teams, one from each class, and three faculty teams captained by Fr. Collins, Fr. Enzler and Fr. Coyne. At the outset it was pretty much the Brain Trust against the field until the Sen iors finally beat them. About the third round the Seniors with Casey and Lohberg, hitting consistent scores, be¬ gan to climb and threaten the Brain Trust, but they had too much of a lead, and the Seniors had to be content with second place. Fr. Enzler and Fr. Collins led the faculty in averages, while Gilles, the Sophomore star- i captain, had the highest student [ average. BASKETBALL This interclass schedule of games was conducted during January, Febru¬ ary and March with the following teams participating: Frosh A, Frosh Bears, Soph Chemists, Soph Red Devils, Jun¬ iors and Seniors. The Soph Chemists ran away with the championship flag by virtue of their win over the Juniors 18-14 in the final game of the season. Both teams had been undefeated until this game. The Chemists, composed of Capt. Ed. Butler, B. Denker, Joe Keat¬ ing, Jean Schneider and Jack Sharon, were able to hold their opponents to an average of 12 points per game, buch a record was made possible only i „ r superior passing and team play. Basketball furnished the most bit¬ terly contested battles of the entire schedule of intramural sports. handball ,. In the A division Mike Shannahan, 36, displaying masterful technique throughout, was never in danger of los¬ ing the crown which he has won for our successive years. In the finals he handily defeated Fred Bacon, ' 36, in the semi-finals Francis Schroeder, ' 39, was his victim, but it was Alphonse White, 39, in the quarter-finals from whom he received the most competi¬ tion. Sonny Sonnkalb, 38, in defeating Schmitz in the finals, won the class B laurels. Neuses and John Oberhausen formed the better part of the de¬ feated competition in that division.

O, Omar man of wisdom and ol wit— Oouldst thou but be alive today and sit Beneath thy tent beside the market place And watch our shadows as they pass and flit.” A shade stands out. I strain my eyes to see past the mist of time, and behold! It is Ed Riley. His hair is disheveled, and his tie is red. From his pocket protrudes a book written by Marx. I ask him how he ever came to be in this predicament and he answers: “While yet a budding lawyer, full of hope and pride, Mcthought a voice within me cried Now that I am all prepared within Why stand the foolish voters yet outside?” His talc was told, and the story of his aspirations as a young lawyer, discouragement in politics, and gravi¬ tation to Socialism make me weep. I tore my eyes away. Again I relaxed and invited concourse A shade approached, 1 strained my eyes. Was it the dapper John Joynt whom I had known at Columbia? Hi eyes had shadows and his step was unsteady. “John, old man,” I said, “What is responsible tor your being Unhappy? “Unhappy? I am happier than I have ever been.

This shade was un¬ successfully struggling with several problem . “Sho- waiter!” I cried, “why arc you having difficulty with these problems, you who were ever one of the most brilliant of students?” He shook his head and turned to give battle to a problem which a child could have solved. “The theory of knowledge I made haste to sow And with my own hands wrought to make it grow. And this is all the harvest that I reaped. The more I learn in theory the less I truly know.” This was too much! 1 would gaze no more into shadow-land! The visions encountered there roused me to such a melancholy that I was unable to look at the futures of more Columbians. And when like them.
