PURGOLD’S COVER. Standing before the statue of the saintly Bishop Loras, founder of Loras College, and with the stars and stripes of the American flag in the background, five representative Lorasmen are pictured on PURGOLD S cover. From left to right, the students arc Gus Kerndt, senior; Tom Boyle, freshman; Frank Lana, George Brcms, and Bill Riebock, all sophomores. Like the United States, Loras College is a melt ing pot for numerous nationalities. The men on the cover come from German, Irish, and Bohemian stock. They come from tiny Iowa towns, medium-sized midwestern cities, and the metropolis of Chicago. The men on the cover, looking out over the fertile field of the Mississippi Valley, symbolize the spirit of all Loras students—they are not sure of what lies ahead of them but they are not afraid. They have the spirit of Bishop Loras and the flag of the United States behind them. Editor: John J. Payton, Jr. Business Manager: John N. Peters LETTERS TO THE EDITORS President’s Message: November 5, 1940 Sirs: The happy task of editing and producing the thirteenth volume of the yearbook of Loras College has fallen to you. This will mean that you have to plan carefully and you should be ready for some hard work and tedious attention to little details. But I know that you will give of your time generously and wholeheartedly. I hope that this work will be both pleasant and profitable for you. Be mindful of the fact that you arc recording the very interesting story of student life at Loras College for a year. The memories of college years contain many treasures and I trust that one of the greatest treasures of our present student body will be your work — the 1941 PURGOLD.

Len A. Win¬ ter was still head coach, completing his third and final year at the helm of the Purple and Gold machine. Gailen Thomas and Al Schramm, both former Duhawk line stars, assisted Winter. Six veteran backfield men and eleven let¬ ter winning linemen reported for practice which opened during the first week of Sep¬ tember. Tim Linehan and Larry Guter co- captained the squad. Twenty-five other hopeful candidates, including the annual frosh aspirants, also reported for the pre- season drills. Loras finished third in the final standings of the Iowa Conference race with four wins and one loss in league strife. Twenty- seven major L” awards were given to suc¬ cessful players at the close of the season. Heinie Engel of Dubuque, a back, and Ralph Cormany of Beloit, a tackle, were elected co-captains of the 1941 squad. Sweaters and letters went to Co-captains Linehan and Guter, co-captains-elect Engel and Cor¬ many and to the following: Joe Healy, Ray Armoska, Charles Genoar, Mark O’Leary and Charles Murray, all seniors; Ed Moes, a jun¬ ior; John Corcoran, Herman Swerinsky, Paul Tierney, Ray and Tom Southward, Louis Gotto, Paul Goodwin, Barney Grommes, Bob Mulhall, Bob Cavanaugh and Terry Ennes, sophomores; and Larry LaBarge, Fred Schnei¬ der, Ange Padovic, Tom Tierney, Jack Sen¬ sor, and Ed Poskus, freshmen.

Winter Assistant Coach AI Schramm FOOTBALL (continued) Turnstiles Clicking Hand at Half-time Loras 22 —St. Mary s 13 The 1940 football squad neatly unveiled itself in the opening game by taking a 22 to 13 victory from St. Mary’s of Winona, Minnesota on a sunny Sunday afternoon, September 22. This game was played be¬ fore 2,5 00 people on old Loras field and marked the last time that Loras College gridders trod upon that hallowed sod in an inter-collegiate contest. St. Mary’s scored first with a series of passes and runs by Fullback Weimer, a be¬ spectacled husky. Loras bounced right back in the second period with two touchdowns and a safety to lead 15 to 7 at the half. Both scores were made on passes from Line- han to Cavanaugh. Loras grabbed its third touchdown in the third quarter on long runs by Larry Spook” LaBarge, flcctfooted freshman prospect, who sparked the Duhawks all during the second half. Guter kicked both points. The hard blocking of Engel, along with the stellar line play of Corcoran, were im¬ portant factors in the Purple and Gold’s opening victory over the Redmen. Loras 7 — Rockhurst 6 With LaBarge returning a punt for a touchdown with but two minutes remain¬ ing in the ball game, the Duhawks nosed out Rockhurst College at Kansas City, 7 to 6, Sunday afternoon, September 29, in the first non - conference game of the schedule. Rockhurst drew first blood by scoring on a long pass early in the second quarter. They failed to make the extra point. Loras threatened twice in the second half, once getting up to the Rockhurst five yard line but losing the ball on downs. Just before the end of the third period, Goodwin ran 60 yards on an off-tackle spinner to be brought down on the Hawk 20 yard line. Here the Kansas City aggregation tightened and Loras again lost possession of the ball. Then LaBarge’s last minute run saved the day for the Dubuquers. Guter’s conversion was the point that meant the game for the Duhawks. Loras 6 — Morningside 6 In their third game of the year, the gold- cn-clad Duhawks were held to a 6-6 deadlock by a powerful Morningside College team in a driving rainpour Saturday afternoon, Oc¬ tober 5, at Sioux City. The Loras gridders scored first when they marched from mid-field to Morningside’s eight yard line in the third quarter and then 22 sent Ennes around right end for the touch¬ down. Guter s kick was low. The Sioux City outfit got its counter midway in the fourth period after a surge down the field which ended with Coach Saunderson’s boys plunging over for the score. The kick was no good. The game was played in midfield for the most part and play was definitely slowed up due to the muddy gridiron. The slippery ball made passing hazardous and shortened the punts. The North Central conference team made only a nine yard aerial gain against a well-working Loras pass defense. LaBarge came out of the melee with an in¬ jured arm which hampered his play for the rest of the season and which a post-season examination disclosed to be a broken wrist. Loras 7 —Central 22 Two intercepted passes enabled Central’s Flying Dutchmen to score a 22-7 upset vic¬ tory over the favored Duhawks at Pella, Saturday afternoon, October 12. The game was the first Iowa Conference encounter for the Loras team and was played before a huge homecoming crowd. Loras had no difficulty in getting its first score, a 14 yard end run by Linehan in the opening minutes of the game. Guter kicked the placement. Central picked up two points when La Barge was dropped behind his own goal line in the second period. The Pella boys immediately added six more points when Menning scored after an intercepted Loras pass was returned to the three yard line. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE F Tim Linehan and Larry Guter, 1940 Co-Captains FOOTBALL (continued) Again in the same quarter, the Dutchmen scored on a 40 yard drive which gave them a half-time lead of 15 to 7. After a scoreless third quarter, in which Loras lost a good scoring opportunity due to fumbles, a Central back intercepted a Duhawk pass and ran 5 8 yards for the last score of the game. The game ended with Loras in possession of the ball on the Dutch 12 yard line. Loras 29 —Simpson 0 Still smarting from the Central upset, the Duhawks scalped the Simpson Redmcn in their second conference game, 29 to 0, played under the lights at Municipal ath¬ letic field on Friday night, October 26. Except for a brief moment early in the game, Loras kept the Redmen back on their heels throughout, piling up 276 yards to 95 from scrimmage. Loras scored on the first play in the second quarter when Grommcs smashed through center. The stocky Beloiter, driv¬ ing low, bowled over three tacklers and raced 3 5 yards to a touchdown. Guter kicked the extra point. On a 3 5 yard pass from Linehan to Sensor in the end zone, Loras again scored in this period. Linehan placekicked the point. Loras added eight points to its total in the third quarter. Sensor blocked a punt on the Simpson goal line and then he and Swerinsky caught a Simpson back, who re¬ covered, behind his own goal line for a safety. A bit later, with the ball on their own 3 0, Loras started another touchdown drive. Linehan and Got to made it a first and ten on the 40 with two end runs. On the next play, Goodwin broke off right tackle for 20 yards and then picked up four on a spinner. After failing to connect on a long pass, Linehan latcralled to Gotto who smoothly reversed his field and went over the goal line standing up. The kick missed. The last Loras tally was registered in the fourth period on a sustained 60 yard march which culminated with Gotto duck¬ ing his way to a score from the 12 yard line. Linehan made the point. Gotto blossomed out in this contest, turn¬ ing in the best running performance of the season. Subsituting in the last half, Gotto, on elusive and speedy runs, threaded his way neatly through a host of tacklers. Line- han’s punting was his best for the season, getting off many coffin-corner kicks. There were numerous changes in the Loras lineup due to injuries in the Central game. The Redmen, coached by Bob Waldorf, former All-American from Missouri, played much better ball than the score indicates. Sensor on KncI Run in Upper Iowa Tilt 24 Moon” Snake Eyes Layden and Father Coyne Loras 27 —Upper Iowa 6 The Loras College Duhawks inaugurated play in the new Loras stadium on Saturday afternoon, October 26, by rolling over Up¬ per Iowa 27 to 6 in another conference game. It was the first Loras victory over a Dorman- coached football team in many years but the Duhawks unleashed too much power and deception to be denied again. They piled up 312 yards from scrimmage and com¬ pleted five out of their six attempted passes. The big Loras forwards charged so fast that the famed Peacock dipsy-doodle attack never did get under way. The Duhawks struck early in the first period, taking advantage of a Peacock fum¬ ble recovered by Goodwin on the U. I. 27 yard line. A pass, Linehan to Cavanaugh, put the ball on the eight yard line from whence Sensor, on an end-around play, dashed over for the touchdown. Guter converted. A short pass, in the third quarter gave Loras its second touchdown. After Gotto had weaved and dodged for 80 yards to the Peacock 10 yard marker, Linehan tossed a pass to big Ed Moes, junior end, who made the catch in the end zone. Guter again made the point. Soon after, Linehan and Gotto collaborated on a long touchdown march which started from the Dubiiquers’ own 30. A series of end runs and some plunging by Goodwin and Engel brought the ball to the three yard line and from here Gotto had little trouble scoring on another end run. The kick was low. A fine return of a punt by Linehan start¬ ed a Loras fourth period march from the Upper Iowa 43. Poskus, sub-back, hit for 13 yards, then Linehan cut outside right tackle for 19 more. Poskus plunged over from the five yard line. Linehan place- kicked the point. Upper Iowa scored its points in the sec¬ ond quarter on an eight-yard plunge by Hader. Alderson missed the kick, as the half ended, Loras 27—U. I. U. 6. Loras 27-Parsons 6 Taking advantage of all breaks, the Du¬ hawks next walloped Parsons College 27 to 6, in another conference affair played on the water-soaked stadium turf on Satui- day afternoon, November 2. The Duhawks dominated play throughout, with the Fair- field boys finally clicking in the last few minutes for a score via the air route. O’Leary set the stage for the first Loras score when he recovered a Parsons fumble on the Wildcat 17 yard line. Goodwin and Gotto alternated on six short line plunges with Gotto finally going over left tackle CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE 25 FOOTBALL (continued) from the three yard line. Guter’s place- kick was wide. The second Duhawk marker also came in the second period when Parsons fumbled while attempting to kick from their own end zone. Loras took the ball on the one yard line and Linehan had little difficulty in hurdling over for the touchdown. He also converted from placement. O’Leary broke into the scoring column when he accounted for the second Loras touchdown. After returning the kick-off to their own 10, Parsons fumbled on a re¬ verse and the ball bounded into the end zone where O’Leary fell on it for a touch¬ down. Linehan placekicked the point. Loras marched 40 yards for its last touchdown later in the same third period. Successive plunges by Engel, Grommes and Linehan put the ball on the Parson 30 yard line. Linehan threw a long pass to O’Leary standing in the end zone for six points. Line¬ han again made the placekick. O’Leary, veteran Duhawk wingman, turned in the best, if not one of his best, performances in four seasons under the Pur¬ ple and Gold colors. Linehan’s kicking was outstanding in the day’s performance. Prac¬ tically every man on the squad saw action in the game. Loras 2 —St. Thomas 19 In a game highlighting the most mem¬ orable Homecoming ever held at Loras, the Duhawks were beaten 19 to 2 by a power¬ ful St. Thomas College eleven on Sunday afternoon, November 10, in a muddy battle. Despite the rainy and dreary weather, the college dedicated its newest addition before a gathering of 6,5 00 people who filled the stands. The Most Rev. Archbishop Francis J. L. Beckman, D.D., S.T.D., delivered the dedicatory pronouncement before the huge crowd which included alumni, students, fans, and many notables in sport circles. The throng was the largest to ever view a foot¬ ball game in the city of Dubuque. The game itself was played in mud and water which slowed up play completely. The visiting Tommies took advantage of a poor Loras kickoff and sent Ray Ignatius scamp¬ ering over the goal line a few minutes later. Loras snared its lone two points in the second half when O’Leary blocked a Tom¬ mie kick and the ball bounded out of the end zone for a safety. The St. Thomas power began to show in the third period when they launched 6 5 yards to score after the kick-off. They scored again early in the fourth period. After an exchange of punts, the Toms got the ball Tiny Tim Shows I ; i«lning Spirit in Off-Tackle Dash 26 on the Loras 31 and splashed to a touch¬ down on the first down. Although the light Duhawk pony backs couldn’t get started in the mud, Linchan was a standout on the field for the locals, sparking the Purple and Gold throughout the entire fracas. Ignatius, star Tom back, was the best running opponent seen all year. Loras 33 —Luther 0 In the first one-sided game in the history of their ancient rivalry, Loras trounced the Luther College Norsemen, 3 3 to 0, in a conference engagement played at Decorah on Saturday, November 16. The first Duhawk score came early in the opening quarter when Linehan threw a pass to Ennes. Linehan then converted. A few minutes later, Linehan caught a punt on his own 2 5 yard stripe and raced through the whole Norse team to score. He also kicked the point. After being held scoreless for the whole second period, the Duhawks bounced back in the third quarter to score twice more. Linehan tossed passes of 15 and 45 yards to O’Leary for both touchdowns. The last marker was racked up by substitute John¬ nie Mudore who snagged a pass from Engel just before the gun went off. Linehan again turned in a very credit¬ able performance and substitute fullback Dick Knockel’s plunging was not to be stopped. Loras 0 —St. Ambrose 0 In what was considered the greatest up¬ set in Conference competition, the Loras College Duhawks held the previously un¬ tied, unscored upon, and undefeated St. Am¬ brose Bees to a 0-0 deadlock, played in the stadium mud, Sunday, November 24. Coach Larry Moon” Mullins’ boys had not been beaten in their last 15 games and the tie was a more than moral victory for the Duhawks. The Bees were the only col¬ lege team in the country whose goal line was uncrossed and which still remained so after the game but they had never been held scoreless. Before coming to Dubuque they had piled up 134 points to their oppon¬ ents 0 for a spotless record. Due to the mud, the game was mostly a display of power and straight football, with neither team penetrating within th e other’s 20 yard line. The two elevens bat¬ tled back and forth in midfield, engaging in a brilliant punting duel. The Bees threatened early in the first period with passes but could not connect. In the second quarter, Loras marched to the Ambrosian 27, but lost the ball on downs. This ended the best Duhawk threat of the afternoon. Linehan, Cavanaugh, and the Southward twins looked good but Healey, Duhawk cen¬ ter, played his heart out for the Purple and Gold. Healey, a four year veteran at the pivot post, was the outstanding lineman in a game marked by terrific blocking and vic¬ ious tackling.

B. 30 Keniger, Hi-Flyers 30 The Tappa Kegga Barons captured the touch football championship after a hectic season by rough play. The Tappa Keggas were forced to play undefeated ball in order to remain on top. They were closely fol¬ lowed by the Tigers. The touch football teams were composed of six men. The games were usually played during noontime and large crowds were al¬ ways on hand to witness the assorted may¬ hem which took place on Keane Field daily. The frequent lost tempers and bickering with the officials denoted the fierce rivalry and intense interest in the fracases. Pro¬ tests were many and Al Schramm was kept busy ruling on the disputed contests. The lid was pried off the season on Wed¬ nesday, September 2 5, when the Tappa Keg¬ gas defeated the Fighting Irish by the lop¬ sided score of 42-6. At the same time, on the other field, the Kappa Nus, who won last year’s title under the name of the Semis, walloped the Fligh Flyers to the tune of 30-0. At the halfway mark of the season, four teams were bunched closely together in the first division. The Badgers, led by “Blimp” Fiedler, and the Tappa Keggas were unde¬ feated while the Tigers, led by the Ward twins, and Kappa Nus were within striking distance, having lost only one game. Outstanding contests early in the season were the Kappa Nus-Tigers and Tappa Keg¬ ga games. In the former, the Tigers took the measure of the Kappa Nus, 9-7. The winners were paced by the pass catching of Paul Hammes and the punting of Harry Crosscn. The Tappa Keggas were hard pressed to win their game from the Tigers, 14-13. The most spectacular game of the season was the Kappa Nus-Tappa Keggas struggle. The latter emerged victorious, 13-7, but only after coming from behind in the waning moments of the game. Jack Bierie and Al Spahn were outstanding for the Kappa Nus while Ben O’Keefe and Phil Fusco starred for the Barons. A 19-6 victory over the Juggernauts by the Tappa Keggas clinched the crown for the latter. The Barons scored first when Payton intercepted a pass and raced 3 5 yards for a touchdown. Their second marker was scored when Haggerty leaped high in the end zone and snared a long pass. Irv Mur¬ phy was responsible for the concluding Bar¬ on score when he made a sensational catch to bring the ball down to the Juggernaut’s goal. Hugh Dorsey, Jack Donnelly, and Jim Wolavcr appeared to the 1 best advantage for the Juggernauts. As the season drew to a close, the Fresh¬ men team was playing ball equal to that of any other team in the circuit. The Frosh were the only team to tie the champion Tappa Keggas. Bernic Milroy, Bob Lorge, and Jack Lewis were the chief threats in the Frosh attack. The Tappa Kegga Barons also annexed the intramural volleyball title; the Hi-Flyers fin¬ ished in the runner-up spot and the A. B. C. s garnered third place honors. Eight teams comprised the volleyball league. Besides the above mentioned, the following were also entered: Badgers, Kappa Nus, Tigers, Owls, and the Trojans. The winners were undefeated through¬ out the competition. The second place Hi- Flyers dropped only one contest, that to the champs. The A. B. C.’s lost two games in league play. 29 otronn ACADS MY liar £• ; ' )) fhonl . flies ' PURGOLD iiiS Pep Meeting Aerial View Father Breen, Grand Marshall President and His Boys Grenadiers on Parade Thirteenth and Main Nice, Isn’t It?

Winter at Loras College means study, infirmary, sports, and snowball fights. More effective study¬ ing is done during the winter months than at any other time of the year. Lorasmen, although as hardy as any other group of students, usually spend varying amounts of time in the in¬ firmary during the cold months. Colds are the popular ail¬ ments. Basketball, bowling, ice skating, tobogganing and skiing are the popular winter pastimes. Pictured on the winter cover are a group of students about to indulge in a snowball battle.

LORAS ALUMNI, STUDENTS ANSWER COUNTRY ' S CALL TO ARMS As was the case during World War I, Loras College again is gloriously contributing a great deal to the national welfare. Since the inauguration of America ’s defense pro¬ gram, large numbers of Lorasmen have an¬ swered the call to the colors. On these pages are pictured a representa¬ tive group of former students and alumni who are in the various branches of military service. Due to insufficient space, it is im¬ possible to salute all the sons of Loras who have responded to our nation’s call. These men have enlisted in our national defense so that if possible there will not be a repetition of the nine gold stars on the college service flag which tell the silent but eloquent story of the Lorasmen who laid down their lives during the last war. LORAS ALUMNI IN ARMED FORCES KEEP ALIVE SPIRIT PRO DEO ET PATRIA Enrolled in the army air corps is Lieutenant William Reed, an economics major who graduated from Loras in 1939. While here, Bill was active in football, base¬ ball, basketball and track, and was also a member of the dramatic club. During his senior year, he was president of the Monogram club. Lieutenant Reed completed his preliminary training for the air corps at Kelly Field, Texas, on October 4, 1940. He then became an instructor at Randolph Field, Texas, until November 15. Transferred to Barksdale Field, Louisiana, Bill received instructions in pursuit type ships. After receiving further train¬ ing, he qualified to teach tactical formations, gunnery, both ground and aerial, navigation, and familiarization with strange landing fields. Reed left with a group May 1 for Selma, Alabama, to open a new pursuit plane school. At Selma, in¬ struction will be given in P-36’s (1200 horsepower) and AT-12’s (1100 h. p.). A volunteer in the army is Private William J. (Scoop) Doherty, a member of the Loras graduating class ol 1940. Doherty, a major in sociology, was very active in extra-cur¬ ricular activities while a student here. He was sports edi¬ tor of the Lorian for three years, editor of the Gridiron, vice- president of the Vested Choir, associate editor of the Pur- gold, and an outstanding intramural athlete. Private Doherty is in Company A, 96th Quartermaster Battalion, Fort Riley, Kansas. Out of 125 soldiers in the company, he was one of four picked for an advanced rat- mg” recently. Doherty left the civilian ranks in February to enlist. e had been employed as assistant production manager at t le Stewart-Simmons Publishing Co. in Waterloo. Another former Loras student who is now in the army air corps is Lieutenant Don Humphrey, ex 39, who attended Loras for two years. He received his commission on February 7 after successfully completing the prescribed flying ca¬ det course. Humphrey is now an instructor in the advanced flying school at Barksdale Field, Louisiana. He is instructing the flying cadets in the large two-engined bombers built by Douglas. 37 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ESSAY (continued) SOME STUDENTS WERE CALLED FROM CLASSES Albert J. Freund, a junior from Chicago, discontinued classes March 18 to cn- roll in the army air corps. Freund entered the Spartan School of Aeronautics at Tulsa, Oklahoma, to take the primary training course. Later he will go to Randolph and Kelly Fields to receive his secondary training and commission as a second lieu¬ tenant. Freund was an honor student here and was identified with many activities on the campus. He was a member of the first Civil Aeronautics Authority aviation program which Loras sponsored. Early in February, Robert Sloan, a senior from Dubuque, was accepted for training as a flying cadet by the army air corps. Sloan, a mathematics major, would have received his diploma in June. The former Loras student had been a member of the student senate and was an outstanding intramural athlete. Sloan reported to the U. S. army air base at Oxnard, California, for his pre¬ liminary instruction I cbruaiy 12. Af¬ ter some months of primary flight training at the Cal-Acro corporation on the Pacific coast, Sloan will be sent to Kelly and Randolph Fields. At the conclusion of his advanced work he will receive the commission as second lieutenant in the army air corps. Other recent students of Loras now in this branch of service are Charles Sonnkalb, editor of the 1 93 8 Purgoi.d, Thomas Seymour, a graduate of 193 8, and Charles Kampman, ’40. DRAFT REGISTRATION AFFECTS LARGE NUMBER OF LORASMEN A large number of Loras students, mostly upperclassmen, registered as draft eligibles on October 16, 1940, in the office of the Dean of Studies. Over 8 5 students had reached their twenty-first birthday and consequently were required to register. Since that time, many of the registrants have received their draft questionnaires. Col¬ lege stud ents are exempt until July 1, but after that time several Lorasmen will doubt¬ lessly be immediately called into service. Gus F. Kerndt, a senior, is a member of the U. S. Naval Reserve and has been ordered to report to Northwestern University on June 16 for advanced naval training. Upon the successful completion of the three - month course at Northwestern, Kerndt will receive the rank of Ensign and will be called to duty immediately. The following Loras College students, 21 years of age or over, registered for the draft and are subject to call: Seniors Ray Armoska Joseph Blong Charles Blood Richard Bohr John Borley Robert Combs Eugene Dunworth Phil Fusco Charles Genoar Joseph Healey Clarence Helbing C.

I have been connected with the Wranglers during the past year and I know that my relationship with the debate group has aided me immensely. Friends of mine who are active in other groups such as the Loradians,” the Dramatic club and the Loras Curia also have become aware of their self-improvement by virtue of their relation¬ ship with these organizations. —Francis Burns. Sirs: Those of us who are interested in journal¬ ism certainly have a fine opportunity to gain practical experience on the many Loras stu¬ dent publications. The Purgold, Lorian, College Spokesman, and the Gridiron give a student a chance to work in any or all phases of journalism. Even though a student does not intend to be a journalist, the experience which he re¬ ceives by working on a Loras student publi¬ cation will always hold him in good stead. —Pat Clarke. Sirs: Yours truly is vitally interested in music and I certainly am glad that I am enrolled in a college that encourages all students who are musically inclined. As a member of the band, I have witnessed the remarkable trans¬ formation in this organization within the last couple years. Then, too, we are all acquainted with the fine work that the Vested Choir, the Music School, and the Liturgical Institute are doing in the interest of music here at Loras. I lere’s for continued improvement in our musical organizations on this campus! —Clair Fiedler. Sirs: Would like to express my sentiments on a phase of student activities which interests me greatly, i.e., athletics. Participation in the various sports offered to all Loras stu¬ dents affords me the opportunity for very enjoyable diversion from my books and the classroom. Our college docs not over-stress athletics nor docs it attempt to dc-emphasizc them. Rather, the policy of Loras is to encourage athletics—but with such restraints as will safeguard the disciplinary and scholastic in¬ terests of the institution. The same supervision given intercollegiate and intramural sports here is a great thing for both the students and the college. —Ralph Cormany. Cormany, co-captain of next year’s var¬ sity football squad and star T.K.B. first sacker in the intramural softball league, writes with authority since he has been active in all phases of our college sports program. Purgold agrees wholeheartedly with him. Loras College athletics are well-supervised and well-planned. Sirs: Loras College is upholding the traditions established by Bishop Loras, Bishop Cretin, and Father Mazzuchclli through its religious organizations. The various religious groups—the Sodality, the C.S.M.C., the Propagation of the Faith Unit, the Little Flower Society, the Acolyti- cal Society, and the Clerical Society—all are performing yeoman work here on the campus. Congratulations to the members of these organizations. These young men are doing very fine work in a quiet and unassuming manner. —Bn i. Roach. THE STUDENT SENATE The Student Senate was organized last year under the guidance of the Rev. A. J. Breen, Dean of Men and moderator of the group. The purposes of the Senate are to pro¬ vide cooperation between students and fac¬ ulty in regard to extra-curricular activities; to develop the spirit, ideals, and practices of good citizenship; to provide a means of man¬ agement for extra-curricular activities; to promote the general welfare of Loras College to provide a means of carrying on relation¬ ships with other schools and colleges. This year’s Senate sponsored a dance, pro¬ ceeds of which went to three extra-curricu¬ lar organizations. Officers this year were: president, Timothy Linehan; secretary-treasurer, Terry Enncs. Members included Francis Carlin, Tom Coughlin, Justin Driscoll, George Freund, Charles Genoar, Paul Goodwin, John Lane, Harlan Loibl, Martin McFadden, Bernard Milroy, Joe Rigney, Al Smith, and Tony Wagener. Student Senate groups are divided into five committees—Judicial, Legislative, Executive, Activity, and General Welfare. The consti¬ tution was drawn up last year at the sen¬ ate’s founding. Robert B. Combs, member of this year’s graduating class, and Emil Wakeen, class of 1940, were the authors of this document. Presidents of the four classes automatically become members of the Student Senate. The other members are elected by their classmates to represent them in the Loras student gov¬ erning body. Each class is represented by four students, including the president. Powers of the Senate include the granting of charters to clubs and organizations, the investigation of all matters referred to it by the faculty and student body, recommenda¬ tions to the faculty and student body on all points pertaining to the college’s welfare, and the enacting and enforcement of all rules necessary for the college’s betterment. All recommendations of the Student Senate must receive the approval of the faculty advisor before they are valid. Top Rou : Carlin, Coughlin, Drsicoll, F.nnes, Freund, ti.

SPEAKING OF PICTURES (continued) ENTIRELY STUDENT MANAGED, PURGOLD RECORDS EVENTS, KEEPS MEMORIES ALIVE FOR LORAS GRADUATES Real Value Disclosed In College Yearbook In Postgrad Years Leader among projects operated by Loras stu¬ dents, the Purgold, college yearbook, is outstand¬ ing both for the financial scope of the publication as well as for the unlimited opportunities for stu¬ dent ingenuity and originality. Traditional manner of setting the stage for the production of the Purgold is the election of an executive editor by members of the class. This usually takes place just before the end of the school year for the selection of next year’s editor. The man chosen appoints the members of his staff and the rest of the school year is spent in hectic hours of preparing, editing, discarding and choosing ma¬ terial suitable for the book. Photography, creative writing, art work, design, preparing material for engraver and printer are the principal activities of the editor and his staff. The finished product is eagerly awaited by professor and student alike, and the Loras tradition has been to steadily improve the quality of the Purgold with each year. Under a new plan adopted this year, the Purgold is available to each student under the ac¬ tivity fee. This move results in greatly increased student-body coverage, and relieves a hard-pressed editor and staff from the arduous duties of a sub¬ scription campaign. Early in May, 1940, Robert B. Combs, junior from Marshalltown, la., was unanimously elected editor of the 1941 Purgold. Due to conflict with a heavy study schedule, his resignation was tend¬ ered and accepted in September. John J. Payton, Jr., of Chicago, Ill., was ap¬ pointed to the editorship in October. He immedi¬ ately formed a staff and began work.

AGAIN LORAS SPOKESMAN SETS PACE IN LITERARY, ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENTS FOR COLLEGE MAGAZINE Father Semper Guides Monthly Publication To New High Level The College Spokesman, literary magazine, has completed its 38th year of existence. It is the oldest continuous extra-curricular activity at Loras. The Spokesman is published eight times yearly; four issues arc devoted to alumni news and the remaining four arc given to literary contributions by the students. Essays, short stories, articles, and verse compose the literary numbers. Cyril A. Reilly and George N. Thoma, both seniors, were co-editors of the Spokesman throughout the past scholastic year. Each made numerous contri¬ butions to this publication. Associate editors of the College Spokesman included Thomas P. Clarke, Eu¬ gene Dunworth, Charles D. Murray, Robert Swift, James Most, John Routledgc, Philip Schacherer, Robert Powers, and William Quirk. Others who made major contributions were John J. Payton, William Maloney, Loras Kenny, and Philip Fusco. The Rev. Dr. I. J. Semper has been moderator of the Spokesman for the past 17 years. The Spokesman also served as the college news organ before the founding of the Lorian. The college literary has chronicled all the important events of Loras and the Archdiocese. In line with this historical function, the Spokesman has presented the life history and achievements of every silver jubilarian on the faculty. The College Spokesman has kept pace with the very latest in magazine pub¬ lishing trends. It features a lively format and appropriate pictures.

THE LORAS COLLEGE VESTED CHOIR FINISHES ITS FORTY-FOURTH SEASON This year’s organization of the Loras Vest¬ ed Choir reached a new high in activity and efficiency. Besides the traditional functions of singing at High Mass at St. Joseph Chapel every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation, and participation in the Palm Sunday serv¬ ices at St. Raphael’s Cathedral, the choir also made an extensive and successful concert tour through the state. Other services at which the choristers make their appearance are the Thirteen Hours Devotion of St. Jo¬ seph’s Day and Baccalaureate Sunday. Vested Choir members are always garbed in cassock and surplice when they sing in church. This year’s group consisted of fifty male voices. The Rev. Emmet Kelly this year completed his third year as director of the choir. He succeeded the Rev. Dr. Alphonse Dress, who founded the organization. Officers during the past year were Lawr¬ ence Gutcr, president; Robert Swift, vice- president; John Pitzen, secretary; and Rich¬ ard Bohr, treasurer. The Vested Choir left on Sunday, April 27, for a ten-day tour of the state. Ten churches were visited during the journey. Many cities in central and western Iowa were on the choir s itinerary. Last stop on the tour was the Iowa Catholic College Mu¬ sic Festival held at Dowling College in Des Moines. This was the third annual festival. Largely responsible for the founding of this yearly event is the Vested Choir s director, Father Kelly. The Vested Choir was accompanied on its tour by Dr. Edward Eigcnschenk, guest teacher at Loras and well-known organist for the American Conservatory of Music. The choir still adheres to the strict litur¬ gical garb of cassock and surplice and is one of the oldest musical organizations in the state. The group was founded by the Rev. Dr. Alphonse Dress in 1897 and began its tours in 1911. For some years, the concert tours were abandoned but they have been revived in the past two years by the Rev. Emmet Kelly who was once a choir member and student under Dr. Dress. 46 In the stalls at High Mass Leo Sanner, Student Organist Singing the Mass 47 SPEAKING OF PICTURES (continued) The tune-up in the sacristy The Senior Cleric-Chanters Last Minute Rehearsal 48 ITINERARY OF THE VESTED CHOIR TOUR Sunday, April 27—St. Mary’s church, Waverly; 10 a. m.

THE LORAS BAND WITH NEW DIRECTOR, UNIFORMS, DRILLS, PRESENTS GALA FRONT The College Band, best-dressed musical organization in the state, won the plaudits of all who heard their music and watched theii marching formations this year. This high-stepping aggregation, numbering ap¬ proximately 5 0 pieces, made its appearance at all college athletic events and at many of the entertainments held in the Fieldhouse. Under the guidance of John Daacon, di¬ rector, the band enjoyed a most successful season. Several factors arc accountable for their fine showing—a larger membership, an expanded and more attractive repertoire, new and intricate formations, and a director who was willing to work overtime in order to se¬ cure pleasing results. The band paraded at all home football games, sometimes working in conjunction with visiting musical units. Many special features and novelties were presented at half¬ times. An especially elaborate program was arranged for the joint homecoming-stadium dedication program. The group was also heard several times over radio station WKBB on the Voice of Loras.” The band is definitely building for the fu¬ ture—all but four of its members arc un¬ derclassmen. The graduating seniors are Bill Wolf, Cyril Reilly, James Renier, and Carl Ruhland. Band prospects for the future are exceed¬ ingly bright since 2 1 of its members arc freshmen and 1 5 are only sophomores. 50 THE COLLEGE BAND To It Rou: Aschcnbrcnncr, Con well, Crosson, Faber, F.

NEW CAMPUS SWING BAND PLENTY HEP, STRICTLY IN GROOVE FOR LORASMEN In past years, there had been many at¬ tempts to organize a student band which would play modern and popular melodies for various campus entertainments. No previous group of this type ever remained intact throughout a year. For the first time, Loras had a swing band this year which had a large membership and remained organized throughout the entire scholastic year. Under the direction of Austin (Wally) Wall jasper, the Cats and Jammers played at many college events this year. They furn¬ ished the music at the banquets and informal parties held during the last nine months. They also were heard frequently over the Voice of Loras” radio programs. Possess¬ ing a very able group of musicians and an attractive repertoire, the Cats and Jammers were always favorably received by the stu¬ dent body and all others who heard their tuneful airs. During the Girls’ Diocesan tournament, the swing band made a distinct hit when they jived” at half-time. Mr. John Daacon, director of the college band, gave valuable advice and instruction to the swing band, particularly at the be¬ ginning of the year when the unit was just being formed.

PRE-SEMINARIANS DISCUSS PROBLEMS, PLAN FUTURES IN CLERICAL SOCIETY The Clerical Society, organized last year, is one of the newer organizations on the campus. Its purpose is to discuss matters of interest to prospective priests and to prepare t icm more fully for their future seminary and clerical life. All students studying for the priesthood automatically become mem¬ bers of this group. Members of the Clerical Society are juniors and seniors. The past scholastic year saw the organiza¬ tion of a Don Bosco club by the society. This division of the group has proved very effec¬ tive in their work among Catholics, persons converted to the Catholic Church, and po¬ tential converts. Members of the Don Bosco club worked at St. Patrick’s parish in Du¬ buque during the year. There they gave re¬ ligious lectures to members of the parish who attended secular high schools. After the talks, the clerics would supervise entertain¬ ments in the form of movies, games, athletics, and dancing. Converts were also instructed in the Catholic faith. The Clerical Society is particularly proud of one of its Don Bosco groups which brought a large group of wayward youths between the ages of 11 and 14 back to the Church and the Sacraments. John Pitzcn served as president of the Clerical Society throughout the past year; the office of vice-president was held by Rob¬ ert McAllister; Lawrence Guter was secre¬ tary-treasurer. The Rev. Ernest Ament, spiritual director, was moderator of the group. Meetings of the Clerical Society were held monthly. At this time, members of the fac¬ ulty addressed the students on spiritual top¬ ics and papers on liturgy and canon law were read. Solemn Compline was sung on Sunday eve¬ nings in Keane Hall chapel. Compline is the official night prayer of the Catholic church. Meditation for one-half hour was held each evening for the Society. This took the form of lectures by Father Ament on spiritual subjects or private meditation by the indi¬ vidual members. LORAS MISSION UNIT SEEKS PRAYERS, FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR MISSION NEEDS The Loras Mission Unit did its work quiet¬ ly, yet effectively again this year. That is the usual procedure with the group. The C. S. M. C. consisted of about 40 members who were organized into study clubs. The purpose of these clubs was to study mission conditions both at home and abroad. Activities carried on by the C. S. M. C. this year included the delivery of daily and Sunday papers to the student body, the sale of candy and beverages at various athletic functions, the collecting of old clothes for the poor of a local parish, and the main¬ tenance of the Keane Hall reading room. A new innovation by the unit was made this year when they opened a well-stocked pamphlet rack in the Duhawk Arista. Pro¬ ceeds of all these activities went to the home and foreign missions. Wilbur Ziegler was appointed president of the unit after the resignation of Bob Combs as head of the group. Bill Roach performed the duties of secretary-treasurer and Ed Niechwiej was chairman of the candy and beverage sales. At a meeting of the C. S. M. C. in Octo- bei, the Rev. Patrick O’Hara gave a vivid talk on the missions in South Africa. Father O Hara is an authority on the subject, hav¬ ing taught at a college for natives in Nigeria.

The sending of eight delegates to Chicago to attend the mid western CISC A conven¬ tion highlighted the activities of the Loras Sodality this past year. The eight students chosen to make the trip were Robert McAl¬ lister, Edgar Kolfenbaoh, Justin Driscoll, Lowell Shekleton, Tony Wagener, Carl Ruh- land, Frank Weber and James Kirsch. The Rev. Leo Jaeger has just completed his first year as moderator of the Sodality. The annual banquet was held at the Trap- pist monastery, New Melleray Abbey. Guests were the Very Rev. M. J. Martin, president of the college, and the Rev. Ernest Ament, Loras spiritual director. Sodalists received Holy Communion in a group on the first Saturday of every month. Other activities were the sponsoring of a float in the Homecoming parade, the sale of souvenir badges at the stadium dedication, and the conducting of Forums at which guest speakers gave talks. Prefect of the Sodality was Robert Mc¬ Allister; Edgar Kolfenbach was vice-prefect. Charles Genoar held the post of secretary and Lowell Shekleton performed the duties of treasurer. A popular phase of the Sodality was the Speakers’ Guild. In this project, interested members acquired forensic experience and disseminated information on leading topics of the day. At the first meeting of the year, Richard Bohr delivered a short talk on the Speakers ' Guild and its value in later life. Joe Sullivan was chairman of the committee which work¬ ed on the Sodalists’ homecoming float. Tony Wagener and Harry Crosson were in charge of the sale of souvenir homecoming badges. Induction of new members took place De¬ cember 15 at a special ceremony in St. Jo¬ seph Chapel. After the induction, the ban¬ quet was held at the Trappist monastery. Thomas Coughlin acted as chairman of the trip and meal. Richard Bohr served as toast¬ master and Robert McAllister was the prin¬ cipal student speaker. Invited faculty guests also spoke briefly. The first forum meeting of the new year took place February 10. Father Empey of Reno, Nevada, was the main speaker on the program. He discussed the relationships of Catholic students to the home missions in the United States. Lowell Shekleton and Robert Freund headed the committee on ar¬ rangements for this forum. It safely can be stated that the Loras Col¬ lege Sodality during the current scholastic year has associated itself with a broadened and more extensive field of activity, both spiritual and temporal. Closer allegiance to those suggestions which have been furnished by the organization’s national headquarters has resulted in its meriting popular recogni¬ tion as the outstanding religious association on the campus. 55 SPEAKING OF PICTURES (continued) PROPAGATION OF FAITH PROMOTERS HELP KEEP LORAS QUOTA FILLED Over one hundred years ago, factory girls of Lyons, France, generously contributed a large portion of their meager salaries to Bishop Loras in far-off America, so that the saintly founder of our college could finance the work of establishing his newly-founded diocese of Dubuque. Today, Loras students are glori¬ ously carrying on this tradition by contribut¬ ing shares of their allowances to the Propaga¬ tion of the Faith so that the Catholic church will increase and spread. At the beginning of every year, the Rev. Ernest Ament, college director of the Propa¬ gation of the Faith, appoints several students from each of the religion classes to act as pro¬ moters. It is the duty of the promoters to collect dues monthly from all members in the college (nearly 100 per cent of the student body). This year, over 40 students worked as promoters. Their efficiency and devotion to duty was reflected in the large amount of money the director was able to send to Propa¬ gation of the Faith headquarters, as Loras col¬ lege’s contribution to Christianity in a war- torn world. Seven promoters were from the senior class; seven from the juniors; 12 from the sophomores, and 16 from the freshmen. Each promoter would be responsible for about a dozen students. Upon payment of the annual fee, student received a card testifying en¬ rollment in the Propagation of the Faith. 7 o Rou: Boils, Brems Cnuphl. ' r. c ' Ix , rx .

Steffen, then spiritual director of the Loras student body, now pastor at St. Cecilia’s, Ames, Iowa, realized the necessity of creating a definite organization to perform the various func¬ tions of sacristans, servers, prayer leaders and organists. Originally composed of only cler¬ ical students, the organization has been ex¬ panded in recent years to include all students desirous of engaging in the chapel exercises. The Acolytical Society is probably the least publicized and most active group on the campus. The membership in the group is entirely voluntary and the services involve a great deal of self-sacrifice and lack of rec¬ ognition. Experience gained through parti¬ cipation in this activity always proves most valuable. Students who join the Acolytical Society emerge with an extensive knowledge of the religious ceremonies of the Catholic church. The Acolytical Society is in charge of all religious exercises on the campus in which the students participate. Members are re¬ sponsible for the upkeep of Keane Hall chap¬ el and also assist at St. Joseph’s chapel on Sundays and holy days of obligation. It is their duty to lay out vestments for the re¬ ligious services and to prepare the altar for Mass and Benediction. The sacristans are selected by the Rev. Ernest Ament, moderator of the group, at the beginning of each year. An important work of this group is the training of acolytes to serve Mass. The sacristans are also in charge of Fa¬ ther Dress’s hymnals, and other devotional books used commonly. They distribute to the Loras resident students the special mis¬ sals required for the Missa Recitata, which is a feature of the early Sunday morning Mass in Keane Hall chapel. At the end of each school year they have a great task in seeing that all the prayerbooks, missals, ro¬ saries and other articles left in chapel find their rightful owners before vacation begins. Head sacristan this year was Carl Docken- dorff. He was assisted by Fred Bahning, Robert McAllister, Dick Herbers and Ed Petit. Student organist in Keane Hall chap¬ el was Leo Sanner. A number of seniors are selected at the be¬ ginning of each year by the Rev. A. J. Breen, Dean of Men, to lead the resident students in the recital of their daily prayers in Keane Hall chapel. It is the duty of these men to lead community prayers every morning and evening in the chapel. They also lead the reciting of the Angelus before meals in the refectory. During the retreat, the prayer leaders read spiritual topics while the students are eating. Prayer leaders for the past schol¬ astic year were John Pitzen, Robert Swift and Lawrence Guter. The Loras College Manual, prayerbook used in the Keane Hall chapel, has been in continuous use since it was edited May 19, 1917, by a senior in the college. This handy volume is still carried by scores of Loras al¬ umni all over the country. SPEAKINC OF PICTURES (continued) REORGANIZED LITTLE FLOWER SOCIETY GIVES IMPETUS TO SPECIAL DEVOTION Bill Roach, junior cleric and a charter member of the Little Flower Society, invokes the aid of the society s patroness. To initiate and sponsor devotion to St. Theresa, the Little Flower of Jesus, in order to obtain her favorable intercession for our spiritual and temporal requirements,” is the aim of the newly renovated Little Flower Society. Early in March, under the direction of the Rev. A. J. Breen, moderator, the Society was reorganized. Over thirty students were admitted to membership. The first official meeting of the group was held March 30 on the campus. Father Breen was the principal speaker, explaining the purposes and giving a brief history of the organization. On April 20, the Little Flower Society sponsored a luncheon at a downtown restaurant. Officers during the year were Paul Liston, chairman; Bill Kostellic, vice-chairman; Francis Burns, treasurer; and Duane Raftis, custodian. The generous student support in a project to obtain a statue of St. Therese of Lisieux, the Little Flower of Jesus,” for the Keane Hall chapel a few years ago, inspired Father Breen, director of the drive, to found an or¬ ganization to promote a special devotion to the Patroness of Vocations. After a few years of inactivity it has now been revived in its present form. The work of the society has been ever- manifest in the student body, who as the recipients of her favors, have shown an in¬ creased devotion to the Little Flower every year. The guiding influence of Father Breen, founder and present moderator, has been an inspiration to the members and is largely responsible for the Little Flower Society’s success. CURRENT TOPICS PRODUCE MATERIAL FOR DISCUSSION FOR CURIA MEMBERS The Loras Curia, dedicated to educational and cultural pursuits, was founded in 1932 by a group of students under the direction of the Rev. Dr. William Schulte. Father Schulte has been moderator of the Curia since that time. During these years, the Curia has flourish¬ ed and has become an outstanding organiza¬ tion on the campus. Members strive for ef¬ fectiveness as public speakers and also devote much time during their meetings to the dis¬ cussion of current events. After the resignation of Bob Combs in early October as president of the Curia, Carl Dockcndorff, vice-president, assumed the ex¬ ecutive duties for the remainder of the first semester. Bob McAllister served as secre¬ tary of the group during this time. Pres¬ ent officers arc Bill Roach, president; Justin Driscoll, vice-president; and Joe W. Ryan, secretary. They were chosen at the semester and will serve until January, 1942. Strict parliamentary procedure is always observed at the meetings of the Loras Curia. Two members of the Curia are annually se¬ lected to speak before the local Knights of Columbus Supper Club. The practice of exchanging speakers with the Knights of Columbus has always proved popular with both groups. The Rev. Dr. William Schulte leaves the moderatorship of the Loras Curia this year upon his retirement from the college faculty. He has been largely responsible for the suc¬ cess of the Curia. His wide experience in personal guidance of speaking organizations of a similar type has enabled him to aid wise¬ ly the efforts of the group and shape its poli¬ cies.

SPEAKING OF PICTURES (continued) TIME-HONORED POSITION AT LORAS GIVEN TO MEMBERS OF DRAMA GROUP The Loras Players came into existence in the spring of 1910 upon the completion of the auditorium building. The Rev. Dr. I. J. Semper, present head of the college English department, founded the organization. Don Ameche, famous star of screen and radio, be¬ gan his acting career under the tutelage of Dr. Semper while a student here. The Loras theatre group presented two productions this year, Father Malachy’s Miracle, and The Royal Family. Father Malachy ' s Miracle, the initial production of the College Players for this year, proved to be an outstanding success at its three performances on November 23, 2 5 and 26. All the roles were well handled by a capable cast and the expert direction of the Rev. Karl Schroeder brought forth a fine play. James Pauly gave a fine characterization in the title role of the quiet and saintly Fa¬ ther Malachy, who was somewhat bewilder¬ ed by the blase, modern world. Gene Dun- worth added to his acting laurels consider¬ ably in the role of the erratic Bishop Robert Gillespie. George Thom a scored heavily in his portrayal of the cynical Canon Geoghe- gan. George Freund and Edward Saunders also handled their roles of Mac and Peter, respectively, very well. The part of the unbelieving Andrew Gil¬ lespie was handled capably by James Waring. The role of his fiancee, Peggy Me Nab, was well-handled by Miss Lillian McDonnell. Other members of the cast were William Graber as George Bleater, Fra ncis X. Dyer as James Shyman Bell, John Thornton as Rev. Flumphrey Hamilton, Robert Kalb as the constable, Jean Wiedner as Mrs. Me Nab, George Grady as Archie McDonald, Mary Duggan as Nora McDonald, Anthony Wag- ener as Jack Worlock, Francis Brady as Bert Cameron, Francis Carlin as a waiter, Patrick McCullough as Timothy Battle, Vic Jaeger as Cardinal Vassena, Anthony Juliano as Sir James Vickers, Rose Herbert as Lady Pamela 60 Vickers, Jack Krajcwski as Sam Hicks, Ethel Powers as Mary Lou Hicks, Eileen McQuil¬ lan as Annie, and Tom Boyle as Father Flaherty. The settings for f Father Malachy’s Mir¬ acle were designed by James Waring and bred Schneider. The members of the tech¬ nical crew were Fred Schneider and Bob Lan- agan, electricians; Anthony Wagoner, Don I avreau and George Botts, properties; and John Raftis, Joe Polito, Leo Baldwin, Jim Wolavcr, Clyde Brinkman, and Jack Joyce, crew. The delicate balance between humor and seriousness which was necessary to keep the production from slipping into a farce was well carried out. Though uproariously fun¬ ny at times, the important underlying idea of the production was constantly kept in the mind of the audience.

SPEAKING OF PICTURES (continued) BEST PUBLICITY FOR LORAS COLLEGE IS WRANGLERS NATIONAL DEBATE TRIP The Loras Wranglers, varsity debating group, maintained their reputation for ex¬ tensive traveling this year by making a three thousand mile tour of the East. The jour¬ ney covered twelve states and the District of Columbia. Five outstanding Eastern col¬ leges were debated by the Wranglers during their tour. They included Catholic Univer¬ sity, Georgetown, St. Joseph’s of Philadel¬ phia, Fordham and Boston college. This was the tenth annual trip for the Wranglers. The debate organization was - founded in 1930 by the Rev. H. FI. Long, present coach. This year s team was a comparatively young one, three juniors and a sophomore making up the contingent. Paul Liston, president, Richard Tomke, James Most, and Francis Burns composed the regular team. Home debates were staged with Luther, Cornell, Marquette, Maquoketa Junior col¬ lege, and LeMoync of Memphis, Tenn. The latter is a college for Negroes and this year’s debate was the first in the Wranglers’ history against a school for colored people. The national question which the Wran¬ glers debated throughout the year was. Should the Nations of North and South America Form a Permanent Union?” After Easter a freshman squad was organ¬ ized which staged debates before local organ¬ izations. It is quite fitting at this time, the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Wranglers to gaze back in retrospect at the work of this forensic group. Each year, the debaters have given outstanding accounts of them¬ selves irregardlcss of the opponent. The Wranglers have met and defeated such col¬ leges and universities as Loyola, De Paul, Wisconsin, St. Louis, Northwestern, Villa- nova, and the University of Chicago. In 193 8 and 1939, the Wranglers made extensive tours of the East. Last year, the South was inv aded with the Wranglers going as far as Florida. This year’s team again re¬ turned to the Eastern seaboard. The Rev. H. H. Long, moderator, an out¬ standing speaker himself, has developed many eloquent speakers through his work with the varsity debate squad. Many former Wranglcrs have distinguished themselves for- cnsically after leaving Loras. Former Wran¬ glers arc now prominent in the clergy, law, and business. The Loras debate coach strives primarily to make his speakers learn to think while they arc on their feet. His philosophy is that forensic ability will follow once a stu¬ dent has learned how to express himself be¬ fore an audience. Tof Row: Burns, Grotty, Gilloon, Hanson, Liston.

Left to right: Bill Sanner, Ed Petit, Pran Dyer, Gene Dunworth, Phil Schmidt, Leo Sanner, Paul Hammes. The Loradians, newly formed group of students interested in radio, was organized last year by the Rev. George Schulte, faculty director. The club combined the words Lor¬ as and radio to coin their name. All the radio programs of the Voice of Loras were supervised entirely by the Lor¬ adians, and their director, Dr. Schulte. They were in complete charge of production of all the college broadcasts which were heard three times weekly over radio station WKBB of Dubuque. The president of the radio club was Gene Dunworth. George Freund was vice presi¬ dent of the group. James Most was in charge of production. Pat Clarke handled publicity. Robert Wagner headed the tech¬ nical staff. The radio speech class rounded out the rest of the organization. The purpose of the Loradians was to pro¬ duce the Voice of Loras programs with two specific ends in mind: (1) To gain pub¬ licity for the college by presenting interest¬ ing and entertaining programs; (2) To give those interested in radio work an opportun¬ ity to gain practical experience. Programs were aired at 5:30 p. m. Mon¬ day, Wednesday and Friday were the days on which the Voice of Loras was heard. The club handled all script writing, an¬ nouncing, engineering, and production of the air shows. Gene Dunworth wrote prac¬ tically all the script for the programs. Dun¬ worth, George Freund, and Jim Most handled the announcing duties. The Rev. Dr. Schulte, Robert Wagner, and Francis Dyer were responsible for the technical details. It is to the credit of the club that they invar¬ iably had their programs M on the nose.” The programs were very diversified. Those which proved most popular to the radio au¬ dience were the student and faculty inter¬ views, the variety shows, the musical pro¬ grams, choral groups, round table discus¬ sions, organ recitals, news broadcasts and the band concerts. Jim Most, as the Faculty Finder,” inter¬ viewed various members of the Loras faculty on topics pertaining to their respective de¬ partments. The Rev. Sylvester Luby, head of the history department, the Rev. John Howell, head of the biology department, and the Rev. H. H. Long, speech department To i Rotr: Clarke, Dunworth, Dyer, Freund. First Rotr: McCullough, Mulvehill, Riebock, Wagner. head, were among the faculty members in¬ terviewed throughout the year. Special Len¬ ten sermons were offered during the holy sea¬ son by the Rev. Norbcrt Barrett, Loras Acad¬ emy principal, and the Rev. Edmund Kurth, college faculty member. We, the Students, broadcasts were in¬ formal air offerings at which Loras students aired their opinions on diversified subjects. Typical questions asked on these programs were, Should Loras College withdraw from the Iowa Conference? What is your fa¬ vorite course in school? and What is your favorite book? Musical selections were offered from time to time by the Loras Vested Choir, the Col¬ lege band, and Austin Walljasper’s Cats and Jammers. ’ Dr. Edward Eigenschenk, of the Loras Conservatory of Music, gave many or¬ gan recitals over the college air program. Mr. Melvin Schilling and Leo Sanner were frequently heard in piano interludes. Topics treated in student round table dis¬ cussions were Selective Service,” and the Lend-lease Bill.” That the Loradians are accomplishing much in regard to radio work can be seen from the fact that two Loras students have been engaged as announcers on local radio stations within the past year. George Thoma, senior, is employed at radio station WKBB, and George Freund, also a senior, was recent¬ ly signed by station KDTH. Both men re¬ ceived their start on the Voice of Loras.” George Freund, (holding mike) assisted by Bob Crosson, announced the public address system play-by-play account of all home games.

A steady increase of interest in the C.P.T. student aviation program has been evidenced by Loras students since the course was intro¬ duced here last year. This year, in order to satisfy the demand, two separate schools were held, one each semester. Nine Lorasmen successfully completed their primary flying instruction and received pilot s licenses during the first semester course. Those who received their wings” were Roger Brady, R. J. Collins, Paul Doyle, Robert Fahrncr, Clarence Helbing, Joe Rig- ncy, James Rounds, and John Williams. hnrolled in the second semester group were Jack Bogcn, Killian Kruse, Joe Marr, Paul O’Brien, Bill Sanner, and Ray and Tom Southward. Due to inclement weather, the flight school of the second unit was postpon¬ ed for some time, but it was expected that the course would be completed by the end of May. Miss Mary Kerndt, Clarke College sophomore, was the only girl registered in this group. The flight training program included eight hours of dual instruction and 27 hours of solo flight, a total of 3 5 hours in the air. Professor George W. Hcitkamp was in charge of the civilian pilot training program at Loras. He also taught meteorology in the ground training course. The Rev. Dr. George Schulte taught navigation and Mr. R L McCaffrie taught civil air regulations. Instruction in flight was given by Mr. Mc- caffrie and his wife, Mrs. Nora McCaffrie. The department of Aeronautics was added to the College Science Division last year. Two credit hours per semester arc merited by reg¬ ularly enrolled Loras students who are tak¬ ing the C.P.T. course sponsored by the fed¬ eral government. The course treats of the history of aviation, theory of flight and air¬ craft, civil air regulations, aircraft engines, meteorology, aerial navigation and radio. The other part consists of the actual flying under the qualified pilots. The large number of former Lorasmen now enrolled in the various branches of mili¬ tary air training is attributed to the fact that they first became interested in aviation when the C.P.T. course was instituted at Loras last year. 66 USHERS, YELL-MASTERS GIVE MUCH TIME, CHEERFUL SERVICE ALL SCHOOL YEAR 7 ' o Row : Bogcn, Burns, Dunn, Fox.

For quite some time there has been a grow¬ ing need for a permanent, well-organized ushers group. This year, for the first time, an ushers club was formed on the campus. Previously, the monogram club members had performed these duties but they were never able to devote adequate time to the work. Under the supervision of the Rev. Leo Jaeger, moderator, the ushers were in charge of the seating of spectators at all college athletic events in the stadium and the field- house. In addition, they accommodated the crowds at all other functions held on the Lor¬ as campus. The ushers did especially out¬ standing work during the football season when they handled the large crowds in the stadium. They won many friends by their efficient and courteous services. The ushers were snappily outfitted in grey trousers, blue coats, and blue military caps. Ten members comprised the group—Burns, Dunn, I : ox, Jeske, Liston, Nicklaus, Leo San¬ ner, Shekleton, and Joe Sullivan. A fiery corps of seven yellmasters led the organized cheering of the student body at all pep meetings and athletic contests. Resplen¬ dent in their silver uniforms, with purple and gold lettering and trimming, the yell- masters added much color to all events at which they were present. Bernie O’Rourke headed the group. His energetic assistants were Jack Bogen, Emil Hcidkamp, Maurice Lee, Larry O’Connell, Duane Raftis, and John J. Sullivan. These men proved very efficient in the way they were able to handle the cheering at the football games, despite the large crowds that were present after the opening of the sta¬ dium. Many new stunts and novelties were introduced by them this year, one of which was the releasing of colored balloons at the opening kick-off. The Rev. Leo Jaeger was faculty super¬ visor of the group. Father Jaeger worked tirelessly with his group in order to gain the precision and timing which were character¬ istic of this year’s yellmasters. As a reward for their work, the yellmasters were taken on some of the trips made by the football and basketball squads.

Mem¬ bers of the executive committee are Ralph Cormany, Bernard Grommes, and Paul Good¬ win. The club was formed in 1923 and has al¬ ways been an active factor on the campus. This year the club sponsored a float in the Homecoming-Dedication parade. The 1941 edition of the Loras Monogram club boasts a well-balanced membership among the classes. Sixteen seniors are mem¬ bers of the club. The junior class is repre¬ sented in the organization by six of its class. Ten sophomores and nine freshmen round out the L” club. Included in the ranks of the group are members of the football, basket¬ ball, and track squads. The essential purpose of the club is to serve as a medium of good will among the various members as well as keeping alumni of the college informed as to Loras athletics. GAY MOTIFS FOR COLLEGE DANCES LABOR OF DECORATIONS COMMITTEE The Decorations Committee, formerly a makeshift and temporary organization, has become a permanent, well-functioning group during the last few years. The Rev. A. J. Breen, Dean of Men and moderator of the committee, realized the need for such a unit to supervise the decorating for all social af¬ fairs on the campus, and has given much time to make it a permanent unit. Members of the Decorations Committee donate their time and work gratis so that Lorasmen and their guests will have suitable surroundings for their dances and socials. This group is responsible for a great deal of the success which college affairs enjoyed this past scholastic year. The first big job of the committee was the dressing up of the fieldhouse for the Homecoming festivities. Using a football motif, the group converted the gym into a veritable gridiron. At one end of the gym, a giant football was constructed. The com¬ mittee also performed the decorating for the C.S.L. dance. They were also of great aid to the professional decorators who prepared the gym for the Senior Prom. Guests at the Prom were lavish in their praise for the dec¬ orations. The chairman of this organization was Charles Genoar. He was assisted by a hard¬ working group of 13 students. Members of the Decorations Committee were Gordon Blood, William Kamenjarin and Joseph Polito, seniors; Paul Doyle and Robert Fahrner, juniors; Robert Collins, Jack Bogen, Bill Riebock, Larry O’Connell, Donald Graham, Robert J.

The Loras College basketball team com¬ pleted its second year under the tutelage of Coach Len A. Winter with a record of 10 wins and as many defeats in 20 contests. The Duhawks fared well against non-conference opposition, racking up five victories as com¬ pared with three losses, but occupied a low rung in the Iowa Conference ladder for the first time in the past decade. The veteran Duhawk cage squad was cen¬ tered around seven lettermen, John McKay, John Corcoran, Bob Cavanaugh, Fred Bahn- ing, Martin Mcl adden, Carl Dockendorff and Bill Riebock. Thirty-five other candi¬ dates reported for the first practice session. Coach Winter started the season with a veteran combination composed of McFad- den, McKay, Bahning, Corcoran and Cava¬ naugh. Mickey Marty, former Gub all-state forward, couldn’t be held down and soon earned a regular berth; Bernie Milroy, Jack Joyce, Bob Lorge and Tom Tierney, all fresh¬ men, later in the season saw plenty of action for the Duhawk cagers. Marty’s loss at the semester was a severe blow to the Winter- men’s conference chances, but the return at mid-year of Bill Riebock bolstered the hopes of the Lorasmen. The golden-clad Duhawks pried the lid off their 1940-41 schedule in a successful fashion by nipping Augustana College of Rock Island, 2 5-2 3, on the home floor. It was a defensive battle all the way, with both teams ragged on offense. The Purple and 70 Gold grabbed the first point and were never headed by the Augies. Loias breezed on to their second win of the season by taking the measure of a fast Arkansas State quintet by a score of 51-38. It was Mickey Marty with 19 points and John McKay with 10 who pointed the way loi the locals, while Fred Bahning did some grand rebound work. St. Mary s college of Winona, Minn., put the hist blot on the Duhawk record when they took a 3 2-30 overtime battle. The W,mermen held a slight edge most of the way, but the superior height of the Redmen began to tell in the late stages of the contest. It was one of the most exciting melees seen in the Loras gymnasium all year. The beginning of the Christmas holidays found the Purple and Gold on their first road trip of the campaign. A powerful, fast¬ breaking St. Joseph college quintet of Col- legeville. Ind., handed the locals a 42-3 3 trimming. Definitely a pre-game underdog, the Wintermen held their own for the first 3 5 minutes, only to fold before the classy Indiana five in the waning moments of the contest. A fellow named Neal Mosser pour¬ ed in 17 points for the winners to take scor¬ ing honors. The Duhawk cagers returned home and started the new year with a clean slate by trouncing the St. Thomas Tommies of St. Paul, Minn., 32-2 8. The Tommies were the current leaders of the Minnesota College con¬ ference. Marty stepped back into the lime¬ light and racked up 13 markers to be the spearhead of the Duhawk offensive. It was another non-conference battle. Central college of Pella, la., invaded the Duhawk lair for the opening conference en¬ counter and the Wintermen notched up a lopsided 42-2 5 win. It was Marty and Mc- 71 SPORTS Tierney, Lorge, Corcoran, McKay and McFaddcn in a beautiful conference pose. I bey carry on all their talks this way. Restful, isn’t it? Kay pairing up again for 2 5 points that sounded taps for the Dutch. Coach Winter used his reserves freely in the contest, with 16 men seeing action at the various positions throughout the second half. The Duhawks showed a deadly eye for the basket. The largest crowd of the year packed the Leras gym on January 1 1th only to see the Duhawks fall before the defending cham¬ pions of the Iowa conference, Simpson col¬ lege, by a 39-3 5 count. The game held 2,800 frenzied spectators in their scats until the final horn when two rapid field goals gave the Red men their winning margin. The lead changed hands a countless number of times throughout the game, with neither team having a great edge at any time. John Corcoran did a stellar job in the Duhawk back court. Coach Jim Dockery came up with a couple of freshman statellitcs who provided plenty of trouble for the Purple and Gold in their 36-17 loss to St. Ambrose at Davenport. The Duhawks were definitely off” in their marksmanship, and couldn’t keep pace with the Bees’ Jack Conroy, who tallied 21 points to give the visitors an individual beating. Conroy went on to take the conference scor¬ ing title by establishing a new record. The Duha wk cagers opened their northern invasion by driving their way to a second win over St. Thomas by a score of 43-38 in a non-conference struggle. Corcoran drill¬ ed in 10 points to top the scoring, while Mc- Fadden and Marty garnered nine apiece. The reception accorded the Duhawks at Winona was disheartening in that the St. Mary’s Redmen scored almost at will and romped over the Purple and Gold quint, 5 5-38. Lorge and Marty divided 18 points evenly to hold up the scoring end for the visitors. The Duhawks couldn’t do a thing against the huge Redmen, and five of Win¬ ter’s regulars left the game via the four foul route. A title-hungry Simpson quintet ran rough¬ shod over the hapless Duhawks in the renewal of the conference flag chase. Their 5 5-29 win was the most top-heavy score run up on the Purple and Gold in many a year, and it marked the second straight win by the cham¬ pions over the Duhawks. Mickey Marty again paced the losers in the scoring column. 72 The 37-34 loss to Central’s Dutchmen ended a disasterous invasion of central Iowa. It was the third straight defeat suffered by the Duhawks on their current road jaunt. Leading for most of the second period, the Duhawk defense crumbled suddenly and they blew a five point lead in the late stages of th e contest. An underdog Loras quintet, stung by re¬ cent defeats, surged back on their home floor and stopped a title-hungry Luther college five, 39-31. The Lorasmen hopped off to an early lead and were never headed in a nip and tuck battle. The bewildered Norse couldn’t stop John McKay, who rang up 17 markers. The Duhawks’ bid for a first division berth in the Iowa conference received a severe jolt when they were turned back by a fighting band of Quakers from Penn college, Oska- loosa, to the tune of 34-31. The scholastic ineligibility of the Wintermen’s leading scor¬ er, Mickey Marty, was extremely noticeable in this game. Dusky Bill Trent, Penn’s all¬ conference center, was a thorn in the loser’s side all night, while John Joyce and Bill Rie- bock held up the Duhawk offensive. Parsons followed up the next week with a stunning 3 5-20 win over the Duhawks as the locals lost their scoring punch in the sec¬ ond half, after holding a commanding lead at the intermission. McKay was the shining light for the losers, while Pollack and Wag¬ ner paced the Wildcats to victory. The Purple and Gold looked like a cham¬ pionship five when they traveled to Mount Pleasant and scored a thrilling 5 8-5 5 win over Iowa Wesleyan in a hair-raising over¬ time contest. Joyce came through with four points and McKay counted three in the ex¬ tra session to ice the game for the visitors. The Tigers held a slim lead all the way to the final seconds of the regular playing time when McKay dropped an all-important free throw to knot the game. Returning to Dubuque, the Wintermen turned the tables on one of the loop title con¬ tenders. Stepping into the role of giant killers, the Duhawks eked out a win over the contending St. Ambrose Bees, 37-34, in an- Jack McKay trios football on the hardwood. One down, and it looks like several more to go. 73 SPORTS ocher overtime. The golden-clad Winter- men fought an uphill battle all the way and it wasn’t until the final seconds that they knotted the count and threw the game into an extra period. Bob Lorge and Tom Tier¬ ney, freshman stars, were outstanding for the victors. Lorge swished the net for three markers in the overtime and Tierney did out¬ standing work in the back court. It was all Conroy again for the Bees. The opening night of the boys archdioce¬ san tournament was featured by a clash be¬ tween the Duhawks and St. Norbcrt’s of West De Pere, Wis., in a non-conference game. The Wintermen outclassed and out ¬ pointed the Green Knights, 34-29, in a slow game. The contest was a marked defensive battle with the Duhawks doing most of the scoring in the first half. A Knight rally in the late stages was staved off by the Purple and Gold defense. The last home game of the season was a hair-raising thriller in which the Wintermen eked out a well earned 3 3-32 victory over the Parsons Wildcats. Riebock and McKay staged a two-man scoring spree in the last period to overcome a five point deficit and bring home the win. The Wildcats’ fast break gained for them an early advantage which they maintained through most of the fracas. The Loras hoopsters treked off to Decorah and closed their 1940-41 basketball cam¬ paign in a dismal fashion, bowing to Luther’s Norsemen, 40-22, in a rough, loosely played game. The Duhawks couldn’t seem to hit from the floor, ringing up only six field goals. Lorge was the lone Loras standout, both on defense and offense, chalking up nine points for the losers. Thirteen varsity cagers were named by Coach Winter to receive major awards for their services in the 1940-1941 season. They were McKay, McFadden, Corcoran, Lorge, Tierney, Bahning, Joyce, Cavanaugh, Dock- endorff, Bernie Milroy, Jack Bierie, Clem Ke- vane, and Jim Peterson.

A1 games were played on the alleys in the field- house. Seven student teams were entered in the student league. Besides the Sigma Chis, the Badgers, Bears, Freshmen, Sophomores, Tapp ' Kcggas and Kappa Nus were also represented. Five faculty teams were also entered in Com¬ petition-Antagonists, Aristos, Braintrusters. Hibernians and Senators. . , The Sigma Chis won both rounds in t ie maple splitters league with the Bears finish¬ ing close behind. Members of the winning team were Captain Bill Sanner, Fd iec ' wiej. Bob Mu 1 hall, Joe Sullivan, Joe Marr, and Fred Bahning. The Bears were composed of Hugh Dorsey, Bill Kelly, Tom and Ray Southward, and Dick Knochel. HANDBALL Ed Kolfenbach swept through a field of 24 to garner the college handball singles crown. He then teamed up with Bob Mc¬ Allister to grab the doubles crown. This was the first year that student hand¬ ball players were able to defeat faculty mem¬ bers. Up until this year, faculty handball players had held virtual domination over the handball titles. McAllister won the city singles handball championship, thus testifying to the high calibre game played on the college court. PING PONG The quest for the school ping pong title was a wide-open affair this year, since neither of last year’s finalists were registered in school. Clair Blimp” Fiedler won the champion¬ ship after several weeks of hot play. Thirty- two ping pong players were entered in the competition with Fiedler and Coach Len Winter finally battling their way to the fi¬ nals. Winter defeated Fiedler but since the latter was the last remaining student in the tournament, he was declared student cham¬ pion. 75 SPORTS: INTRAMURALS Abate: Clair Fiedler, Ping-ponj; champ.

In the final game of the season, the Frosh Hawks defeated the Kappa Nus, sen¬ ior loop winners, and thus annexed the cham¬ pionship. The Kappa Nus had qualified for the finals by downing the Tappa Kcggas, win¬ ners of the first round senior loop race. Keen competition and well-played games marked the intramural cage tourney. Under the guidance of Al Schramm, director of in¬ tramurals, a total of 156 games were played. Interest can be attested from the fact that no games were forfeited. There were two divisions this year — the Senior league, composed of upperclassmen, and the Junior league, made up of freshmen. The winners of the respective divisions met to decide the title. There were two rounds in the Senior loop while the Frosh were able to get through four rounds. The Senior League began the season with eleven teams entered. These teams were the Kappa Nus, Tappa Kcggas, Bucketeers, Bears, Badgers, Sigma Chis, Neo Kappas, Hytones, Draft Dodgers, Beta Mus, and the Tutors. The Tutors were an assembly of faculty members led by Al Schramm and Father R. McDonald. In the Junior bracket a total of seven teams were entered. They were the Quick- quintet, Ramblers, Frosh Hawks, Fighting Irish, Muchachos, Jaspers and the Big Six. The Tappa Kcggas, inspired by their re¬ cent championships in the touchball and volleyball meets, left no doubts in the minds of their followers concerning their plans in basketball. The Barons, paced by Jim Hag¬ gerty and John Payton, began the conquest for their third straight crown by sweeping through the first round games with ten vic¬ tories and no defeats. Their victories over the Bears and the Kappa Nus, defending champions, stamped them as the team to beat in the Senior loop. At this halfway mark, the Tutors dropped out of the league, leaving ten teams in the Senior division. At this point T. K. B. showed signs of falling from their perch. Whether it was in losing one of their outstanding guards, Bill Riebock, or whether the pressure was beginning to tell, the Kcggas began to eke out victories by the slimmest of margins. In the meantime the Kappa Nus and the Bears showed definite signs of improvement. A foreboding sign for the Barons came when the Kappa Nus won the Dubuque city-wide championship from a field of 16 entrants. While this was taking place, the Frosh Hawks upset all advance dope and had things pretty much their own way in the Junior division. They won the first round handily and were set very well for the second. The Tappa Keggas won only four games in the second round before disaster overtook them. The Bears, led by Dick Knockcl, handed th c Barons their first setback of the year 22 - 20 . Then the Kcggas were dropped lower by the Kappa Nus, 39-38. The Kappa Nus and the Bears were the eventual deciders of the second round cham¬ pionship. The Bears led all the way in the playoff game but in the final two minutes Eddie Kolfenbach sparked his Kappa Nu cohorts to victory, 16-13. The Frosh Hawks cinched their championship by winning the second round of the Junior League hands down. The most crucial game of the season took place when T. K. B. met Kappa Nu for the Senior division championship. Each team had beaten the other once during the regu¬ lar season. The Kappa Nus played inspired ball throughout the game and when the Bar¬ ons lost their ace center and high point man, Jim Haggerty, on fouls, the Kappas grabbed the Senior League crown, 29-23. The championship battle, between the brosh Hawks and the Kappa Nus, was a nip and tuck battle all the way. Minus the services of forward Joe Healey, the Kappa Nus lost the decision, 21-19, thus enabling a freshman group to win the coveted school championship for the first time in intra¬ mural history. The members of the winning Freshman team included Dick Stevenson, Joe Quigley, Leo Bauer, Owen Conwell, Jack Donnelly, Bob Skahill, Jack Connolly, Jim Kirsch, Irv Weber, and Mort Erusha.

On PURGOLD’S spring cover are pictured a group of students indulging in the spring season’s most popular pastime at Loras—kittenball. Dan Cody, junior, is catcher; Paul (Red) Goodwin, sophomore, is batting; Fred Bahning, junior, is pitcher; and John Payton, senior, is umpire. The students are kept busy with their studies at this time of the year, too. The professors, most of whom had similar experiences as Loras students, believe that hard work at the books will cure most forms of spring fever.” Seniors, es¬ pecially, are kept busy since they must write a thesis and pre¬ pare for graduation. Situated on the highest hill of Dubuque, 1 -oras College over¬ looks the majestic Father of the Waters” and its beautiful valley. Dubuque, often termed the Heidelberg of America,” is deserving of its title if the green and verdant campus of Loras College is any criterion.

FITZGERALD CELEBRATES SILVER JUBILEE OF ORDINATION, COLLEGE SERVICE AS HE LEAVES REGISTRAR ' S POST Several weeks ago it was announced that the Rev. Edward A. Fitzgerald, Dean of Studies and Registrar of the College, would resign his position in order to take over the pastorate in Osage, Iowa. Father Fitzgerald recently celebrated his silver jubilee as a Catholic priest. Father Fitzgerald graduated from Loras with the class of 1913. He attended Laval- Grand Seminary in Montreal, Canada, and returned to Loras as a faculty member in 1916, the year of his ordination. While Father Fitzgerald served as regis¬ trar, Loras College attained the highest edu¬ cational ratings possible. In 1 93 8, he was honored by Loyola University of Chicago with the degree of Doctor of Laws in recog¬ nition for his outstanding work in Catholic educational circles. Mainly through the efforts of Father Fitz¬ gerald, Loras was awarded the Alpha chap¬ ter of Delta Epsilon Sigma when the hon¬ orary society was formed last year. He was chairman of the Founders’ Committee of DES and at present is national secretary of the society. THE REV. WILLIAM H. SCHULTE RETIRES TO PARISH AFTER TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS TEACHING CLASSICS TO LORAS YOUTHS The Rev. Dr. William H. Schulte retires as an active member of the Loras College fac¬ ulty at the conclusion of this year after being connected with Loras since 1904. Father Schulte, head of the classical languages and professor of Latin and Greek, was stricken with a heart attack last December and has be en unable to resume his teaching duties. Father Schulte graduated from Loras Academy in 1906 and from the college in 1910. He was ordained to the holy priest¬ hood on May 13, 1913. He joined the col¬ lege faculty shortly after. Doctor Schulte has been very active in archdiocesan activities. Fie holds the posi¬ tion of advocate on the matrimonial court and is a synodal examiner of junior clergy. One of his outstanding achievements has been the organization of the Archdiocesan Lay¬ men’s Retreat Association. For several years he has been chaplain of the Dubuque Knights of Columbus. Doctor Schulte directs the Loras Institute of Liturgical Music and is founder and mod¬ erator of the Loras Curia. He is a noted au¬ thor and speaker and is secretary of the Lor¬ as chapter of Delta Epsilon Sigma, national Catholic honorary society. Since 193 5, Doctor Schulte has been a member of the committee on the present status of Latin and in the same year was also appointed a visiting lecturer at the State University of Iowa. 85 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ESSAY The most important room in school.

Behind the scenes of practically all Loras College affairs, arc the Sisters of Saint Fran¬ cis of the Holy Family. The results of their blessed work can be seen everywhere on the campus. The nuns are in charge of the feeding of the faculties and students of both the College and Academy. In addition, they handle the laundry for Lorasmen. The good sisters reside in St. Francis Hall where the refectory and the laundry are located. In Smyth Hall, the infirmary, the sisters tenderly watch over all ailing students. Since 192 8 a graduate nursing sister from the or¬ der’s hospital at Lc Mars, Iowa, has been in constant attendance at the infirmary. Lor¬ asmen actually enjoy their stays in Smyth Hall. This, indeed, is the highest praise possible. In Keane Hall, where the students reside, the domestic services are supervised by the Sisters of St. Francis. The individual rooms are cleaned daily, and Keane Hall Chapel and St. Joseph Chapel are always kept spot¬ lessly clean by the nuns. ' rnr Sister Anselmn, her sewing machine and her bird, keep busy and happy. The biggest work of the sisters probably goes unnoticed, however. The apostolate of prayers and good works for Loras College and students are primary aims of the nuns. The good sisters have the welfare of the col¬ lege and their boys” always uppermost in their minds. The sisters pray for the health and success in studies for Loras collegians; no persons suffer more keenly after a Loras football or basketball defeat than the nuns. The Sisters of St. Francis began their serv¬ ice at Loras in October, 1879, upon the sug¬ gestion of the Very Rev. P. J. McGrath, col¬ lege president, and the request of Bishop Hennessy. As Loras College progressed, the sisters endured the sacrifices which were characteristic of all those associated with the college. As early as 1904, the value of the sisters in the moulding of Loras College, was recog¬ nized. The Spokesman of that year com¬ mented thus: From the day on which the Sisters took charge . . . dates the stability of the College as an institution ... It is not only the material good which the College has se¬ cured from these faithful workers . . . most of all do we value the beneficent example of their unselfish lives ... it is a source of in¬ spiration to think of the humble Sisters of St. Francis who toil and pray, and from no other motive than to further the interests of God and His holy Church; for no earthly gain but only for the reward that is prom¬ ised to the good and faithful servant.” Sister Dolorine and the girls keep the laundry running smoothly.

C. Kapsner, O.S.B. PURGOLD GOES TO THE RETREAT The annual closed retreat for the resident students of Loras College began on Tuesday of Holy Week and concluded Easter Satur¬ day morning. For years it has been the tra¬ dition to have the Retreat just prior to Eas¬ ter. The Rev. Celestine Kapsner, O.S.B., of St. John’s college, Collegeville, Minnesota, was the Retreat-master. All services were held in Keane Hall chapel and classes were suspended entirely during the Retreat. Loras is completely shut off from the outside world during these days. The Retreat is regarded as the most impor¬ tant function of the entire scholastic year. At this time, the students give serious thought to their problems and meditate on spiritual topics. The days are spent in con¬ ferences, instructions, spiritual readings, and meditations. The day students of the college had a spe¬ cial Retreat of their own in St. Joseph chapel on Good Friday. Retreat-master for these services was the Rev. Charles M. Carty of St. Paul, Minnesota. Absolute silence is maintained during the Retreat and students remain entirely to them¬ selves during these days. Father Kapsner, a Retreat-master of wide experience, proved very popular with the students and his system of private confer¬ ences met with whole-hearted approval. ORDER OF EXERCISES A.

VINCENT DOWD IS NEW LORAS COACH Reception in ficldhousc for Coach Dowd. Vince Dowd, former Santa Clara star ath¬ lete and present coach at Leo High School in Chicago, has been appointed head coach of varsity athletics at Loras. The 28-year-old mentor will take over the Loras reins next fall. Over forty applications were received by college oflicials after the resignation of Len Winter, Loras coach for the past three years. Dowd was selected from the large list of ap¬ plicants after a perusal of his impressive coaching and playing records. Dowd received his football tutelage under Clipper Smith and Buck Shaw, outstanding exponents of the Notre Dame system. The youthful coach has stated that he will also use the Rockne system. At Leo High, Dowd developed two cham¬ pionship football teams, three city cage ti¬ tle winning fives, and a national basketball title-winner, in the space of three years. Dowd has made several trips to Dubuque since his appointment in order to get a line on football prospects for next year. SPORTS SPRING INTRAMURALS BASEBALL, TENNIS, GOLF GIVE LORAS FANS SPORTS J ack Dailey misses by a mile as the ball spins I aul 1 epper Goodwin’s mitt. Three years ago, intramural athletics were almost unknown at Loras. Today, many term the intramural sports program as the b � ggest project on the campus. Credit for the amazing growth is largely due to Al Schramm, director of intramurals and assistant varsity coach. Schramm has labored unceasingly in order to present an intramural program which would appeal to all students. During the fall, touch football, volleyball, tennis, and golf tournaments are staged. All Loras students are eligible to compete in any or all of these. In the winter, basketball, handball, ping pong, and bowling are offered. The spring intramural program included kittcnball, baseball, golf, tennis, and horse shoes. An interclass track meet is also spon¬ sored by the intramural director. It is es¬ timated that over three-fourths of the Loras student body have participated in the intra¬ mural sports program during the past schol¬ astic year. Softball The intramural softball league, under the direction of Al (Kencsaw Mountain) Schramm got under way on Thursday, April 17. Ten teams were entered in competition and games were played during the noon hour and after the evening meal. Entries includ¬ ed the Day Hawks, Kappa Nus, Igeroties, D. T.’s, Tappa Kegga Barons, Sigma Chis, Doodlers, Bears, Badgers, and Hi-Flyers. Approaching the half-way mark in com¬ petition, the Tappa Keggas and the Kappa Nus were tied for the lead. However, both teams had dropped one game. This marked the third consecutive year that these two squads had been fighting for softball su¬ premacy. Closely bunched behind the lead¬ ers were the Doodlers and the Bears, with two losses apiece. Outstanding softball players early in the season were Jim Haggerty and Barney Grorn- mes, the Tappa Kegga battery; Joe Healey and Ed Kolfenbach of the Kappa Nus; Wen bonk of the Doodlers, and Bernie Milroy of the Igeroties. The leading hitters early in the season were Clem Kcvane, Terry Ennes, Clair Fiedler, Pat Clarke, Jack Donnelly, Paul Mulvchill, Ray Armoska, Ray Southward, and Gerry Baum. Baseball An intramural baseball league was intro¬ duced on the campus for the first time this year by Al Schramm, director of intramurals. Seven teams were entered in the competition —the Badgers, Sweat Sox, Tappa Keggas, Kappa Nus, Sigma Chis, White Sox, and Hi- Fi yers. The league was run off on a series basis with the Tappa Keggas and Sweat Sox meet¬ ing in a series of three games. The Sigma Chis engaged the White Sox in the best two games out of three, and the Badgers played the Hi-Flyers. The Kappa Nus drew a bye. The Tappa Keggas met the Sigma Chis in the semi-finals with the Badgers playing the Kappa Nus. The two winners were to play a three game series for the school title. Outstanding baseball players were Nick Kanavas, Joe Bova, Barney Grommes, Cy Hoskins and John Pitzen. Golf Loras College played host to the first an¬ nual Iowa Conference Golf Tournament played May 16 and 17 at the Dubuque Coun¬ try Club. Competition included both in¬ dividual and four man team championships, decided by 3 6 holes of medal play. The Loras squad was selected by means of an elimina¬ tion tournament which was open to all stu¬ dents. The four semi-finalists composed the varsity golf team. 24 Loras students vied for top honors in the intramural golf tournament. Impressive winners of first round matches were Alan Gilloon, Bob Dolter, Allen Kane, John Pay- ton, Charles Genoar, Joe Thornton, and Jim Most. Horseshoes The intramural horseshoe tournament drew 16 entries. John Payton finalist in last year’s tourney, led the way into the semi-final round. Other favorites to go far in the barnyard golf meet were Tom Clarke and Jim Haggerty. Tennis Twenty-seven were entered in the intra¬ mural tennis tournament. Clair (Blimp) Fiedler was the first contestant to enter the third round. Cy Reilly and Jim Pauly were expected to go far in this year’s net contests. TAPPA KEGGAS: Touchball champs.
