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
