We solemnly, but humbly, dedicate this book especially to those gallant Loras men who have already made the supreme sacrifice for their fellow countrymen and have perished in the present conflict. May this be a somewhat fitting tribute to them and some indication that they have not paid that price in vain. As long as the portals of Loras College remain open, their names shall ever be murmured in hushed silence and reverence. And to those now serving, whether in the Army, Navy, Marine or Air Corps, we trust that this dedication will inspire you with courage and strength. Your Alma Mater still has a deep concern for you though scattered in all parts of the globe. We realize that this dedication as such, is an empty gesture, but the sincere sentiment that moti¬ vated us seems to speak to you in this fashion: We, your friends at Loras, can find no better words to express our thanks and appreciation for the hardships and sufferings yon are enduring for us. We pray to God that Lie in His infinite mercy will one day soon renew that peace, happi¬ ness and sense of security that once were yours and ours. May your efforts to restore order once more to a misguided world be realized, so help ns Cod! May God be with yon and keep you His!” Our Faculty As a token of honor and gratitude, we dedicate this section to all former Loras students and graduates who have since been ordained and are serving as Chaplains in some branch of the Services. Loras is dulg proud of them. The Most Rev. Francis J. L.

Love mi Sm ki i ton, P reject An organization on the Loras campus which has been growing in size and in strength during the past few years is that of the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin. The past scholastic year proved to be no exception. During ’42-’43 the Sodality boasted of being the largest religious organization in the school with over a hundred members. The Sodality is organized so that as a group we may serve God and Country. On the day that new members are received into the Sodality each member pledges his honor and fidelity to Mary, his Queen and bears the in¬ signia of his service by devotion, reverence, and love to his Blessed Mother. The Sodality is an organization which is mobilized for action in which the training is threefold: training for personal sanctification, sancti¬ fication of neighbor, and for the spread and defense of the Church. Pope Pius XII, in his timely and modern terminology referred to the Sodality as a training grounds of piety and the Christian apostolate, which the Church of Christ has ever prompt at her call, like picked battalions which are drawn up in pacific army array, under the standard of the Virgin Mary. This year each Sodalist adopted as it were a soldier friend, or antoher member of the armed forces, and each day said a rosary for his intention. Likewise the Sodal¬ ity collected old rosaries from the student body and sent them to the chaplains of the armed forces for dis¬ tribution to men in the camps. This year marked the third year in which Father Leo Jaeger served as moderator of the group. The officers were: Prefect, Lowell Shekleton; Vice-Prefect, Joseph Griffin; Secretary, John Becker; and Treasurer, Duane Raftis.

President 1 lie Delta Sigma is a campus organization exclu¬ sively for city student membership. It was chartered as a Loras club last year for the purpose of bringing the non-resident students into closer contact with campus life. The Rev. Loras T. Lane acted as Moderator for the group this year and he was the chief instigator for its origin last year. Activities sponsored by the Delta Sigma this year included several Smokers given in the Indian Room of Diamond’s Cafeteria. Other informal social events high¬ lighted the activities for the group. All city students are included in the membership of this organization. Robert Bor ley, Loras senior, was the president of the group for the year, and he was ably assisted in the promoting of the various social events by an execu¬ tive committee consisting of Bernard Collins and Joseph Takos, both seniors. flit fit ' s nnii s rr Seated -—Lowell Shekleton, Bill Doherty, Jerry Murphy, Bob Borlev, Tony Wagencr, and Joe Chamberlain.

The Lor- ian and Spokesman comprise the remaining two. The 1942-43 staff published the fifteenth volume of this yearbook which was started and named by our own Very Rev. President, Father Martin. The Rev. Wil¬ liam Green served as Moderator for the PURGOLD this year, succeeding Mr. Burton R. McQuillan who is now in the Armed Forces. The personnel of the staff this year, though be¬ ginning with a rather formidable number, was much depleted at the time of publication of the book. Many members left for the various branches of the service, all of which necessitated greater effort on the part of the remaining members. The adminis¬ trative affairs were handled this year by Anthony P. Wagencr, a junior, who acted as Editor-in-Chief. Robert Borley, senior from Dubuque, managed the business matters, in which capacity he was ably as¬ sisted by James Burgmeier. Lowell Shekleton served as Associate Editor under Wagencr. Joseph Cham¬ berlin served as Organization Editor, while Robert Vogl was Class Editor. Matters of Art were under¬ taken by Donald Goodman whose artistry nears being professional. Fie was aided in his duties by James Waring. Jerry Murphy and Robert Mulgrew were in charge of an additional feature of the PURGOLD, namely, the Social Committee. During the course of the year they sponsored several social events, the most notable being the Amateur Show and Dance given Thanksgiving Night. William Doherty and Thomas Mulgrew edited sports activities. Patrick Gogerty acted as staff photographer and took all the pictures of the book except the organization shots. He was assisted by John Cretzmeycr. Duane Raftis, Robert Kalb, John Randall, Robert Mulhall, and William Timmons were placed in charge of canvassing the student body for subscriptions. Despite the tremendous odds that faced the staff at the off-set of the scholastic year, the members used all their ingenuity and resourcefulness to produce a book as will long be remembered by those who to¬ day consider it a fitting replica of their college days during wartime. It is felt that conditions, if such prevail, will undoubtedly halt further productions of this annual for the duration. The book this year should be more cherished than ever before for this reason. It is the permanent memoir depicting col¬ legiate life at the most uncertain stage in the history of education. Among those who left Loras and the PURGOLD staff for the various branches of the services arc: Jerry Murphy, Bill Doherty, Tom Mulgrew, John Randall, Pat Gogerty, and Joe Chamberlin.

Accepting as their duty during this time of war the policy of givi n , the community the very best of theater entertainment, the Loras Players presented a seasonal program consisting of four stage productions and two renowned lecturers. 1 he Rev. K. G. Schroedcr s abie and versatile guidance as director was best exemplified by the finished quality of ex¬ cellence in the varied productions. The Rev. James J. Donohue, tech¬ nical advisor, constructed four unique sets with an exactness which added to the plays an atmosphere without which they would never have realized their imminent success. On October 11, Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor” was a delightfully amusing start to a promising full and entertaining season. Eleanor Powers, Jeanne Weidner, and James Waring, who all turned i n remarkable characterizations in the summer school presentation, returned to the Loras stage in their respective original roles of Mistresses Ford and Page and the jolly Falstaff. Heading the cast of the next presentation, Marion Pancratz, Eleanor Powers, and David Parsons kept the November 2 2nd audience in a constant thirty-two Uft ) cr —I.I l l TO Right: Eleanor Powers, Ned Flaherty, Marian Pancratz, Jack McDonough, and Eileen McQuillen.

James Waring portrayed Mr. Wookey; other four star performances were by Lillian McDonnell and Billy Ward (a fourteen year old newcomer from the Academy) as the daughter and son of the Wookey family respectively, and by Jeanne Weidner as Aunt Gen.” Another noted personage graced the Loras lecture platform when Miss Margaret Webster, the greatest Shakespearian director of the contemporary stage, de¬ livered an address on the evening of February 2 8. Her appearance marked one of the highlights of the season for the Loras theater patrons. Last of the current season’s presentations was James Bridie’s Tobias and the Angel,” presented on March 2 1. Outstanding principles who did a re¬ markable job of finishing up the outstanding year were Mary Duggan and Anthony Juliano as the allur¬ ing Sarah and her romantic young suitor, 1 obias. The roles of Tobias’ parents were two difficult char¬ acter portrayals were done by Anthony Wagcncr as the blind, elderly Tobit, and Rose Underwood as his wife. The staging of Tobias experiences on the trip for his father ended the ’42-’43 Loras Theater season, the success of which must be attributed to the dis¬ tinguishing abilities shown as director and technical advisor by Father Schroeder and Father Donohue. feagt ■ thirty-four Jeclinical Sta Much of the success of the Loras Players this season can rightfully be attributed to the men who worked behind the scenes, the stage crew. These able men were under the direction of the Reverends J. Kenneth Downing and J. J. Donohue. It was their important task to construct all scenery, erect the lighting apparatus, provide stage properties and sets, as well as to be the silent vigilantes behind the cur¬ tains during performance nights.

Loras’ bi-weekly student newspaper, the LORIAN, was guided through a most successful year by its sopho¬ more editor-in-chief, James Finucan, of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The effective coverage of Loras student and faculty news afforded through the LORIAN owes much to the fine work of several industrious under¬ classmen on the competent staff, who displayed journal¬ istic skill worthy of the finest papers. John Lewis, Chicago junior, was in charge of the paper’s sports department this year. Much of the increased student interest in the LOR¬ IAN this year centered around the work of its feature writers, Ned Flaherty, Jack Bogen, Bill Roche, John Randall, Dave Voels, and Dick Roberts who produced admirably under feature editor Bob Cremer, freshman from Freeport, Ill. The boys actually responsible for the accurate, in¬ teresting and complete accounts of the Loras’ sundry goings-on during the year were these reporters: Frank McCarthy, Jack Becker, Lauren Schmitz, Tom Albert, and Bill Salscheidcr. Lowell Sheklcton proved very valu¬ able as the staff typist. The Rev. James J. Donohue served his first term as the LORlAN’S moderator. THE S T A F F Editor-in-Chief James P.

C oiieae S doI? i eae — momiman, The literary magazine of Loras College, The College Spokesman, this year has reached its fortieth year of exist¬ ence, and in so doing remains the oldest continuous extra¬ curricular activity on the campus. The Spokesman publishes essays, short stories, articles and verse—all representative of the best efforts of the various English classes. Among the articles appearing dur¬ ing the past year have been stories treating of luminaries in the literary world who appeared on the college Lecture Program. The fortieth anniversary of The Spokesman also ush¬ ered in a new policy. Formerly this magazine devoted its efforts to publishing four issues during the year for the students and a like number for the alumni of the college—issues containing news of interest to former students; this year the four alumni issues gave way to four new literary issues, and the year’s whole publication became solidly literary, but still available to the alumni. Again this year the Rev. Dr. James J. Donohue served as moderator of The Spokesman. Acting under him as associate editors were Bernard J. Collins and Charles F. La Barge.

Dr. Alphonse Dress, founder of the organization. The Choir has held the distinc¬ tion of being a vested” choir to the present day, appearing in this garb whether at Sunday High Mass or on tour. This year the Choir offered its benefits to the largest group of members in the history of the organization, having over sixty students.

The Rev. Emmet G. Kelly, director of the Choir for the past five years, made this season one of the most active and successful since the founding of the organization. Although con¬ ditions prevented the customary annual concert tour, all other traditional functions were car¬ ried on as usual, namely, the Sunday High Mass at St. Joseph Chapel, Palm Sunday Mass at the Cathedral, and the High Masses on St. Joseph’s Day and Baccalaureate Sunday. To replace the concert tour, the Choir presented its regular concert program to several audiences in Du¬ buque, including Mt. Carmel Convent, Sacred Heart Church, St. Mary’s and St. Columbkille’s. The highlight in the year’s activity, how¬ ever, was the performance of the Faure Requiem in St. Joseph Chapel and in the Clarke College Auditorium by a combination of the choirs of the two schools. This Requiem is a concert Requiem for eight voices. In all public appearances, the Choir was ac¬ companied by Dr. Edward Eigenschcnk, guest teacher at Loras and well-known organist for the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago. page thirty-nnh ColL r Be . and Over forty students had membership in the Loras College Band this year, which was for the first time directed by Mr. Vaughn Gay- man. This band appears at all Loras athletic functions, and each spring presents a series of outdoor concerts. Also, each year before PROIKSSOR GAY MAN the Christmas recess the members of the band offer a concert indoors which is open to the Dubuque public. Under the able direction of the maestro Cayman, the Loras band has won state-wide acclaim for its novelty acts and mixture of popular and classical music. Each student can become a member provided he attains the high standard of proficiency set by the band for entrance. Only a few years ago the band members received a unique gold uniform which it wears at all public functions. ftiiyc for ) dS Lum d3and This year’s edition of the Swing Band really swung out” for all the fellows at Loras in a manner that was definitely on the solid” side.

Each year the various Catholic Colleges and Universities throughout the United States are ca u P on to contribute to and share in the work carried on by the Society for the Propa¬ gation of the Faith. The Loras College Unit o this Society ranks topmost on the list of ac 0 c Educat ional Institutions contributing to this cause. The headquarters of the Propagation of the aith is located at Rome. It is the work of this zealous society to support and give aid to the many missions and missioners for the spread of the faith in all parts of the globe. Today it is especially important that this work be carried on in a war torn world, and this fact was reflected in the large amount of contributions sent to the National Head¬ quarters At the beginning of the scholastic year the Rev. Ernest P. Ament, college director of the Propagation of the Faith, appointed several stu¬ dents from each class to act as promoters. It is their duty to collect dues from each class mem¬ ber—almost 100 ' student body contributing. This year also, as was customary in the past, the annual calendars sent out by the Arch- diocesan Unit of the Society were distributed to the students. JhtRe forty-tun C. SMC. Unit The Loras Mission Unit of the Catholic Stu¬ dents Mission Crusade underwent a year of intense activity. Activities sponsored by the campus group included the sale of daily and Sunday newspapers to the student body, the sale of refreshments at various athletic func¬ tions and social gatherings and the collecting of old clothes for a local St. Vincent de Paul Society. The most outstanding event of the year was the annual Halloween auction and party spon¬ sored by the C. S. M. C. which this year proved to be unusually successful both financially and socially. Other works carried on by the group were the maintenance of the Keane Hall Reading Room and the well-stocked pamphlet rack in the Loras Arista. Proceeds of these activities went to the home and foreign mis¬ sions. In addition to the usual activities of this group a new work was incorporated into the society. Books were collected from the student body and then sent to the men in the armed forces. This was made possible by Father Ament. A Round Table Discussion Club was organ¬ ized this year headed by Kenneth Schnoebelen and Bernard Pierick. The various topics were chosen from the monthly issues of The Shield which is the National Magazine of the Catholic Students’ Mission Crusade. Officers of the Loras Unit this year under the direction of Father Ament, moderator, in¬ cluded Kenneth Schnoebelen, President; Bernard Pierick, Secretary-Treasurer; John Barnes, Li¬ brarian; Bob Kalb, Chairman of Refreshment Sales; David Voels. Larry Sharon, and Michael Whalen, Directors of Paper Sales. It is noteworthy to add that the College Chancellor, The Most Rev. Francis J. L.

I i j 1 i ; | 1 forty-three Student Senate A student legislative body, the Student Senate is an organization formed of the various officers of the four classes. Its purpose is to handle all strictly student problems and to form a speaking unit to the faculty. The members are elected by the respective classes.

Paul Goodwin, senior from Freeport, Illinois, was elected President of the group and he pre¬ sided at all meetings. The Rev. Arthur J. Breen was faculty moderator for the group. All student complaints are ironed out at the meet¬ ings of this group. This organization was established at Loras four years ago and has been one of the most effective and active clubs on the campus. ha e forty four At all the athletic functions of Loras College five members of the student body led the yells. The head cheerlead¬ er this year was Duane Raftis, junior from Wadena, Iowa. Under his direc¬ tion, such able men as John Becker, Vincent Powers, Ned Flaherty, and Maurice Conwcll were schooled. The Rev. Leo A. Jaeger acted as moderator for the group again this year. In addition to appearing at all ath¬ letic functions, these yell masters led the cheers at pep rallies held on the eve of any athletic event. The cheerleaders were uniformed in white suits bearing gold megaphones on their fronts. Awards were pre¬ sented in the form of letters for the presentation of sweaters was dispensed with for the duration. The Ushers’ Club, under the mod- eratorship of the Rev. Leo A. Jaeger, took charge for the third consecutive year of handling the crowds at all campus activities. Their big task was directing the throngs at the football games this year. In addition to seat¬ ing the football fans, they handled the distribution of the programs for each game. Another important duty of the ushers has been their work in the Loras College Auditorium. There, for the six fea¬ tures of this year’s subscription season, they distributed the playbills and con¬ ducted the patrons to their places in the theatre. The ushers are distinctively uni¬ formed in gray, striped trousers, blue coats, and white military caps. They ai c familiar figures at all campus ac¬ tivities, and their duties are an im¬ portant contribution to the public col- lege activities.

Inige jovt - fit i Traditional devotion to the Little Flower of Jesus, St. Therese of Lisicux, has continued and even in¬ creased during the year. Perhaps one reason for the devotion to the Little Flower is due to the fact that she is the Patroness of Vocations and as such is im¬ plored by almost the entire student body. This organization is unique in the fact that it is one of the few groups on the campus in which mem¬ bership is open not only to the students but even to the members of the faculty. It is the aim of the Society to foster special devotion to the Little Flower, to seek her assistance in the selection of the proper vocation in life. Devotion to this Saint of God has taken place at Loras ever since the erection of the statue in her honor in the Keane Hall Chapel. The interest and growth of this society is due mainly to the enthus¬ iasm of Father Breen, the moderator. Father Breen organized this society in 1930 and has ever since been moderator of the group. As the main objective of the society is religious the work of the group is not manifested in temporal activities. r. . KjncU iron Robert Mulhall, senior from Ames, Iowa, was cditoi of the Gridiron, a football program which was distributed at all home football games during the past year. The publication is put out by the Loras Press Bureau. As in the past the Gridiron has featured important data relative to the game besides interest- ing cuts. In each issue of the Gridiron one may find the complete squad rosters, action shots, cartoons, sidelights of the game and game service personnel. The publication was under the moderation of the Rev. Daniel B. Coyne, Director of Athletics. ROBERT MULHALL page jorty - six cicrii tans This organization has as its responsi¬ bility the preparation of the altars and laying out vestments for the religious functions that take place in the Loras Chapel during the school year. Appoint¬ ment of servers for duty as well as train¬ ing new men for this service also falls to the sacristan. Left to Right —Lowell Shcklcton. Cyril Engler, Frank Lana, and Tony Wagoner. Selection of this group is made annually by the moderator, Father Ernest Ament. The duties of this organization also include dis¬ tribution of special pamphlets and books to resident students in the chapel, and replenishing votive stands and holy water founts. Head sacristan this year was Frank Lana. He was assisted by Lowell Shcklcton, Anthony Wagener, and Cy Engler. Student organists were Leo Sanner and John Reed. Loras College, in its effort to develop a man well- rounded physically, mentally and spiritually, believes in the Church’s admonition: Pray in common; and this it takes to heart daily when prayer is said in common in the chapel and in the refectoi). For this purpose there are appointed each year men who lead the prayers, lay priests, as it were, of the College congregation. It is their honored task to raise their voices in prayer to God, to iccite the verses answered by the student body. These lcadeis arc mainly members of the Senior class, and the ma¬ jority are members of the Clerical group. President of the Prayerleaders this year is Robert Kalb; assisting him in the Loras chapel were: Anthony Lang, Charles La Barge and Paul Hammcs. Those leading prayers in the refectory were: Frank Lana, John Bcrcns, Donald Hutchinson, Benedict Kunz, Anthony Lang, Kenneth Schnoebelen, Larry Sharon, Lowell Shcklcton, Vincent Simon, Jesse Torres, Michael Whalen and Richard Rossiter. page forty-sci cn Ltft to Right: Seated —Joe Griffin, Robert Kalb, and Michael Whalen. hirst Ron —Tony Wagencr, Jim Waring, Frank Cikanek, Larry Sharon, Lowell Sheklcton, Don Mcine- mann, and Robert Hirsch.

The Clerical Society this year was composed of forty members, young men of the Junior and Senior Class aspiring for the Priesthood. At the first meeting held shortly after the be¬ ginning of the term the members elected the following officers: Robert L. Kalb, President; Joseph F. Griffin, Vice-President; and Michael G. Whalen, Sec ret ary-Treasurer. It is the purpose of this society to prepare clerics for Seminary life and to inculcate into their minds and hearts the high ideals of the Priesthood. Besides this purpose the Clerics of Loras exert a powerful religious influence on the entire student body. Frequent talks were given on Seminary life by our Moderator, Father Breen, and by our Spiritual Director, Father Ament. Our Alma Mater has become famous for its Priests. Father Aloysius Schmitt, the first chaplain killed in the present war, was once a Cleric of Loras. Within his heart burned a noble sense of true patriotism and in the execu¬ tion of this he shed his very life blood. fnifie fort y eif ht Li. i t to Rk.iit: iron Ron —Bob Worden, Bill Kelly, Sam Buffalo, Jack McNeill, Paul I lammes.

Si K fl Ik yPg The Decorations Committee, now a permanent organization and one of the necessary units in spon¬ soring the many social affairs on the campus, fared well through a year of priorities.” William Kelly, senior from Chicago, was chairman of the committee for the past scholastic year. The Rev. Arthur J. Breen is the faculty advisor of the Club. The first important social affair of the year was the Homecoming Dance. The Decorations Commit¬ tee contributed much to the success of the affair. The committee also carried on the decorations for a pre-semester dance, The Yard Bird Stomp, given in honor of those Loras students who departed at the semester for services in the armed forces. The campus group also promoted and arranged detailed plans for the annual Loras Senior Prom given in late spring.

With objectives of gaining linguistic fluency and cul¬ tural improvement the group convened weekly, par- limentary order being stressed. This marks one decade since the beginning of the Curia. One of the original members, a man who helped to draw up the first charter is now moderator, the Rev. J. Kenneth Downing. Mying Tiger Bill Reed also signed the charter and was a member of that club. Officers for the next season have been elected to office, they are: Cecil McSweeney, Presi¬ dent; Joseph Griffin, Vice President; and Robert Vogl, Secretary-T rca surer. 2)on Be OSCO Perhaps one of the youngest groups organ¬ ized here at Loras is that of the Don Bosco Club. Members of this group are selected by the moderator, the Rev. Ernest Ament, and it is the duty of these members to assist in the instruction of children from the parishes in Dubuque who attend the public schools. The selection of members of the Don Bosco Club •ire made from the Clerical Society.

Laniiti Loras students with musical aspirations in the line of piano and organ are offered wonderful opportunities in the recently con¬ structed Loras Conservatory of Music. The Rev. Emmett G. Kelly heads the conservatory and Dr. Edward Eigenschenck is the professor of piano. Professor Melvin Schilling had been affili¬ ated with the Music conservatory before his induction in the army. Many students are attracted by the comprehen¬ sive course offered in piano. Each year the piano students present a recital of classical selections open for public attendance. The best voices of the Loras College Vested Choir are represented in the Loras Quartette. In addition to appearing at many of the social functions at the college, the members of this group make many public appearances throughout the year. The Rev. Emmet G. Kelly is also director of the group. They of¬ ten give selections over the cam¬ pus radio program, The Voice of Loras.” Membership in this group is open to all students with singing ability, but Father Kelly determines who has that ability.

Due to the increased num¬ ber of nurses, Mercy can’t accommodate all the nurses so the Freshmen stay at Mount St. Agnes. Li i t: With the nation at war, the need for nurses grows ever more acute. The job of the nurses whether at home or abroad, is every bit as vital as the soldier’s, the defense factory workers, or the sailors. Theirs is truly a momentous task, and the local Mercy Hos¬ pital Nurses, affiliated with Loras, certainly are fulfilling their obligation to their coun¬ try to an heroic degree. eighty four ydfccelegated Students COENEN, NORMAN Harlan, Iowa DALEY, THOMAS La Crosse, Wis.

' Jcctball A daily session at the Duhawk camp. There were 29 awards presented. Major awards went to Paul Goodwin, Herman Swerinsky, Terry Ennes, Paul Tierney, John Corcoran, Fred Schnei¬ der, Jim Peterson, Jim Burgmeier, Joe Strub, Charles I.andon, Jim Finucan, Bill O’Neill, Paul Ciaccio, Ed Sadowski, Walter McDermott, Joe Flad, Ross Wagner, Fd Feller, Mike Elliott, Jim Schmuhl, and Student Manager Nick Kanavas. Minor awards were given to John Saunders, Bob Kane, Don McClain, Dick Bis- sen, Walter Grimes, Don Dillon, Chris Mastrovich, and John Galvin. Coach Dowd, with the help of Assistant Coach Gailen Thomas, molded this crew of lettermen and recruits into a finely geared and highly powered outfit by the beginning of the playing sea- Nitff ci hty r h! son which is shown by the results against such out¬ standing competition, Loras scoring a total of 122 points against their opponents 37. There were only two teams which crossed Loras goal line, St. Joseph of Collegeville, Indiana, and St. Thomas of St. Paul, Minnesota. Both these teams were at the top of their respective conferences, going through their second consecutive session without being scored upon, until they met the Duhawks. The re¬ mainder of the teams was completely shut out of the scoring column by the fiery and hard hitting Du haw ks. This year’s team was hit hard by injuries, five of the team’s backfield, Co-Captain Paul Goodwin, Frank Saunders, Frank Kelly, Terry Enncs, and freshman Don Dolphin, being benched for most of the season due to injuries. But by the superb playing of Charles Landon, Joe Flad, Ross Wagner, Ed Feller, and Mike Elliott the team came through with a better than average season. The line was sparked by the rough and rugged playing of its captain, Herman Swerinsky, who stopped many a goalward march with the help of such outstanding players as Ed Sadowski, Jim Peter¬ son, Bill O’Neill, Jim Burgmeier, Fred Schneider, and John Corcoran who in the course of the season played four different positions, end, guard, center, and quar¬ terback. The Duhawks started the season auspiciously by winning over Coe 7-2. The next encounter was an all out battle against St. Ambrose. After fifty min- Goodwin evades. utes of gruelling play during which both sides saw their man-power depleted by the vigor of the contest, St. Ambrose emerged victorious 2-0. St. Josep i s of Indiana, which completed its second consecutive undefeated season, was next on the docket. The Hoosiers caught the Duhawks considerably weak¬ ened by injuries and won 19-0. A breather was in order and the Dowdmen returned to their home bailiwick to trounce the Savanna Army Post team 5 9-0. The Purple and Gold men on the march followed with an impressive homecoming 19-0 victory over St. Mary’s of Winona. The following week they journeyed to Green Bay to duplicate the touchdown feat and came home on the long end of an 18-0 score. Marshalling their maximum strength they girded them¬ selves for combat with the heralded St. Thomas, Minnesota Championship COACH THOMAS K W gj71k 1 %■ Ir- %: if eleven. Even though the Duhawks lost, the content was voted one of the best ever played in the Loras Rock Bowl. The final score was 14-7. The season’s finale was the Luther victory. The coaching staff this year includ¬ ed Vince Dowd, head coach from Santa Clara, and Gailen Thomas, who had been with the Duhawk line since 1936. Coach Dowd started his second year of football at Loras, and indicated that the Duhawks would ever be a serious threat in the Iowa Conference while he remained at the helm. He himself was a star backfield man during his collegiate days at Santa Clara, and was coach of the invincible Leo High club of Chicago before he was contracted at Loras. Tommy” centers his attention on a powerful line and the 2-0 count against St. Ambrose was a fine example of his efficient work when the Loras seven were pitted against the stone wall of the Bees. Coach Thomas was a flashy gridman in his years at Loras as a stu¬ dent also. This was the first year that he was on the staff as a full-time coach, as in former years he had been Super¬ intendent of Schools at Cascade, Iowa. In addition to his duties as assistant football coach, he acted as director of the extensive intramural program at Loras upon the departure of William McGuire last spring. John Doc” Kammcr was again the trainer for the Duhawk athletes. He has been with the Loras athletic clubs since 193 0 and has virtually become a tradition as well as an inspiration to many a Loras athlete.

Husky Nick Kanavas acted as stu¬ dent manager again this year. His duties entailed the distribution of equipment and its preparation for trips of the squad. Two Dubuque radio stations broad¬ casted most o fthe Duhawk home tilts and brought many of the games away to a Dubuque audience. Jim Car¬ penter handled the mike for Station WK.BB, while Red McAleece gave play by play accounts for KDTH. Both stations were rendered facilities in the modernly constructed radio booths in the stadium. Al Ney reported the games for the Telegraph-Herald news¬ paper, John Fuhrman for the Chicago Tribune and Iowa newspapers, and Bert McGrane for the Des Moines Reg¬ ister. The Rev. Daniel B. Coyne was faculty supervisor of the press booths, while Tony Wagencr assisted him and prepared the radio and announcer’s scripts. Commendations for the complete and luring schedule of the past sea¬ son should be given to the Rev. Daniel Coyne, athletic director of the Du- hawks. In spite of the tremendous odds for any athletic functions which the war incurred, he offered Dubuque athletic fans programs enviable for the size of Loras. l.i i t to Right: Upfier —The I rcss watch¬ es.

Qntratnutai ' Jcctball Keen competition and heated riv¬ alries caused one of the most sensational Intramural Football seasons in many years at Loras. Twelve teams were entered in the Touch Football League this year with over ISO students par¬ ticipating. The six men that finally copped the honors after an uncertain final two weeks, were the Cueballs headed by Bill Doherty. When the schedule ended, the Cueballs and Snails, captained by Jake Kunnert, were tied for first and in the subsequent play¬ off the Cueballs triumphed in a close battle making them Champions. A new record in points made for the season was set by Dick Roberts who tallied 96 points in the twelve games in which the Cueballs partici¬ pated. John Hines, member of the threatening Nosey Devils, followed close behind Roberts for second place merits with 84 points to his record. Mark Kelly, another member of the victorious Cueballs, held the third place berth for points with a total of 78 points for the season. The Zom¬ bies held fourth place for high scor¬ ing when Frank Lana accounted for 5 3 points. $ V The Nosey Devils held the team record for tallying the most points with a total of 240 points in ten games or an average of four touchdowns for each game. The twelve teams par¬ ticipating in the sport this fall were: Cueballs, Zombies, Snails, Nosey Dev¬ ils, Loras Wolves, Flying Cadets, Bad¬ gers, Winged Eagles, Mcds, Hibern¬ ians, Tau Kappa Beta, and Dem Bums. The traditional inter-class football tourney, which follows the close of the scheduled intramural football games, was won by the Freshmen elev¬ en. After defeating the Sophomore aggregation 6-0, they tested their might against the combined strength of the Juniors and Seniors. But the upperclassmen failed to halt the Fresh¬ men power machine and were forced to cede victory to the underclassmen by another 6-0 count. This entitled the Freshmen to the coveted honorary inter-class trophy which tradition has handed down from generation to gen¬ eration at Loras. Dick Kausal tallied the only score in the Sophomore-Fresh¬ men battle, while Pete Allegra brought about the proverbial upset by crossing the Upperclassmen’s goal. The Cham¬ pionship play-off of the Freshmen and Upperclassmen was played in bitter cold weather and one of the first snow¬ falls of the season. . ' Mr ' ■ Upper — Doherty heads for six points.

The first semester tournament saw the Antagonists take firsc place among the faculty entries, while the Side Winders took first laurels from the student teams entered. The team members of the Side- Winders included Dave Voels, Robert Kreutz, John Donnelly, Frank Lana, Robert Neher, Paul Segerson, and Ed Mullally. They accounted for seven victories and suffered no defeats. The Antagonists, faculty champs, scored five wins and lost none to merit the first berth. Fathers Ernsdorff, Lane, Kurth, Biskup and Peters formed the winning combination. Seventeen teams were entered in the league with over one hundred participants. Loras College provides four modernly constructed alleys for all maple aspirants which are available for use during the day and evenings. Richard Wright acted as student manager of the alleys and is to be com¬ mended for his fine work at the same. As the second tourney progresses, it again appears that the Side-Winders will retain the championship, but further statistics arc not available as the PURGOLT) goes to press. A pagi ninety Satehall As the PURGOLI) goes to press, much talk is circulating about the campus of the prospects for the traditional hard and soft baseball leagues. As in former years, the intramural schedule will include a comprehensive program of this spring sport. The various classes will be pitted against each other in friendly rivalry, and at the end of the year there will be a play-off of the various leagues for the championship. Each class will have a team entered. In respect to hardball, facilities are offered for participation in the game. Since the Du- hawk nine discontinued competition with other colleges, the number interested in intramural baseball has increased and a large turn-out is expected this year. Ail baseball games arc played on the old Loras field. Looks like a hit, Murph. Hauer throws arm out. Lewis calls them. Knockel misses.

However, Loras has more mater¬ ial this season on the courts than ever before which indicates a heated contest to come. Such scientific masters of the courts as Father Gan¬ non, and Gailen Thomas from the faculty ranks and Frank Lana, last’s year’s single champ, Nick Kanavas and Dave Voels grace the white courts with many an unpredictable game. Other stu¬ dents who frequent the handball courts include: Herman Swerinsky, James Waring, Bob Hirsch, Fred Schneider, Don Hutchinson, Bob Kalb, and Benedict Kunz. From this array of stars of the courts will come the winners next spring. and early May. At this time a tourney will be staged and every student will be allowed to participate. Awards of honor will be presented at the close of the year. Other £pcrtJ Loras students arc offered participation in many other intramural competitive sports. The extensive program in vogue at Loras as to ath¬ letic lines merely verifies the policy of the Loras authorities who wish to produce well-rounded men who are both mentally and physically fit to meet the current demands of the nation for leaders in the present conflict. The motto of those in charge of athletic programs is sana mens in corporc sano”—a sound mind in a sound body. Track Loras College will again be the host of the Iowa Conference Track Meet, held annually in the Loras stadium. It will take place May 8. No inter-collegiate meets have as vet been sched¬ uled and it is quite improbable that any will be. I iowever, cinder path aspirants will be able to release their energies in the form of the Intra- muial Track Program to be offered in late April Virginia Mitchell, track queen. For those who have aspirations along other athletic lines, tennis, golf, boxing, horse shoes and ping-pong are offered. Boxing was rc-in- augurated this year as a feature of the physical training program offered reservists in the vari¬ ous branches of the service at Loras. The aim of the athletic officials is to get every Loras stu¬ dent to participate in some form of athletic sport and thus such a varied intramural pro¬ gram is offered by the director, Gailen Thomas.

Such formidable teams as Camp Grant, Iowa State Teachers, Ambrose and Luther were numbered among the more serious Loras op¬ ponents.

FIow- ever, the Loras club suffered early injuries which hampered their victory march early after the Christmas holidays. Both starting forwards, Sadowski and John Dunne, and also Flad and Jake Kunnert were placed on the injured list shortly after Christmas. This forced Coach Dowd to lean heavily upon his new material not as well versed in collegiate basketball. How¬ ever, such men as Tom Ruane, Jerry Richards, Bob Kane, and John Hines were valuable assets to the 1 942-43 club. Before the close of the season, four team members left for service in the armed forces in the persons of Jack Dunne, Jerry Richards, John Hines, and Jack Joyce, who had been one of the leading scorers of the club. Ed Sadowski averaged 1 1 points per game in the six confer¬ ence games in which he participated, being benched later because of injuries. The local cagers started th. season in great fashion, taking the first four games of the season, but then in¬ juries threw the Lorasmcn in a temporary slump. l ut K l hit in ret!

Coyne, Loras athletic director, arranged a seventeen - game schedule of some of the leading universities and colleges of the mid-west. The Loras Duhawks are members of the Iowa Conference and have many games with non-conference teams such as St. Thomas, St. Mary’s and St. Joseph’s. Camp Grant, nationally recognized as one of the leading teams of the nation in 1942-43, was listed for two games one at home and one away. The calibre of basketball presented fans at these games ranks equally with any seen yet in Dubuque. hag t foit hundred om Upim r: Looks like a foul, eh, Bro?

The Loras College Duhawks ended up sixth in the Iowa Conference this year as many of the local club’s conference tilts were engaged shortly after the team had suffered injuries from games with one or other of the first fives engaged. Coach Dowd began his second year with the Loras cagers, after coming from Chi¬ cago where he coached the National Catholic Champs, St. Leo High. He employed a fast break which offered a dangerous threat to any of the Duhawk opponents. Participation in the National Basketball Tourney held usually in Kansas City was can¬ celled this year due to the conditions. No play¬ off to settle Iowa Catholic Championship was necessary since St. Ambrose defeated the Loras Duhawks two straight. Thus the mythical championship reverted again to the Bees this year after Loras held it last year. Plans for next season have not as yet been formulate d due to the uncertainty of the times. But it is understood that the Dubuque cage fans will be offered a schedule at a par with this season’s. Uppfr: Farrell lus it; Sadowski ready. I.ovt i r: Farrell covet¬ ous of hall. Qntrawral Twenty-one cage teams vied for first place in the first round of the annual Intramural Bascketball Tourney, but when the final re¬ sume was made, the T.K.B. club, coached and captained by Joe Quigley, was topmost on the roster of wins and losses. The T.K.B. club closed the first round undefeated but the Turtles followed close at their heels with no defeats but not as many games played. Other clubs making formidable threats throughout the first round included the Hawkeyes, the Phonies, and the Blue Barons. Paul Modde accounted for the most points to be high scorer in the first round with 45 points while Maurice Miller, Don Heinemann, and Joe Quigley followed respectively. Joe Quigldyj Mark Kelly, Varsity Coach Vince Dowd, Nick Kanavas, Dick Roberts, and Jack Dalton comprised the winning five aggrega¬ tion. Only fifteen teams entered the second round battle since Uncle Sam’s mid-semester visit to to the campus cut the number of teams con¬ siderably. The luck of the T.K.B.’s changed with their changing of the name of the club to the Colts, for as the second round advances the Hawkeyes have advanced to ffrst place with the Bearsh and the Turtles following in close second. The Colts trail mid-way down the brackett of winners. But as yet the final outcome is any man’s guess.

It seems rather in¬ significant and less foreboding now v hen assembled in compact form, but I frankly assure you that it represents many hours of tiresome work, many tedious moments, many heartbreaks and ex¬ periences of anxiety on my part and on the part of the entire staff. I sincerely hope this 1943 PURGOLD meets with your whole¬ hearted approval and satisfaction. That alone is ample reward for us. Recorded in these pages is the history of the 1942-43 scholastic year at Loras. I trust that we have done justice to such a momentous obligation on our part. For all, this has indeed been a trying year. Many of our friends, all loyal men of Loras, have gone from our happy family circle during the months that have passed and have cast their lots in our fighting forces. And in the ensuing days still more must go. At this time I wish to express my deepest sentiments of thanks and appreciation to all through whose untiring efforts mainly this Yearbook was made possible. I wish in particular to thank all the members of the staff for their loyalty and splendid service, and to our Reverend Moderator, Father Green for his guidance and capable assistance. May I also extend mv commendations to the members of the faculty and to the entire student body for their unqualified support and cooperation. Thanks much and as a last favor, please keep this book a ways for the happy memories contained therein. Yours very sincerely, ANTHONY P.
