MAXNINGHAM QUESTIONS HIS WIFE Zahler, Pat .Mullen and Rose Underwood Presented July 10, 1945, for Summer School audi¬ ence. No fall production—performance rights re- cinded. Small but excellent cast in a play well-writ- ten by Patrick Hamilton. Evening was spent in solv¬ ing a murder committed twenty years previous and in retrieving the Barlow rubies, the cause of the crime- Leads beautifully done by John Ryan and Rose Underwood. Underwood’s first lead sensitively portrayed. Ryan mastered the Cockney accent—his top acting job. Last appearance of Arthur Zahler as Mr. Manningham. Fine performance by Pat Mullin as the vixen maid, Nancy. Her first appearance on the Loras stage. Jeanette Lucas in the role of Elizabeth, cook and true friend of Mrs. Manning- ham, played a small role convincingly. Technical as¬ pect, handled by the Rev. James J- Donohue, and the direction, in the hands of the Rev. Karl G. Schroedcr, was flawless. ’45 - ’46 ANGEL STREET MRS. MANNINGHAM PI.FADS FOR HFI.P Rose Undcrww)d and John Ryan - 88 Also a Summer School production (July 31, 1945). Presented again on October 21, 1945, as the first offering of the 194 5-46 Loras Drama-Lecture Series. Opened the thirty-sixth season of drama at Loras. Presented while the Broadway production was still enjoying a suc)cessful run. Amusing and heart¬ warming play of World War 11. Chester Gallagher, in the male lead of Lachie, gave a stirring portrayal of a dour Scot who learns that ’’sorrow is born in the hasty heart.” Lillian McDonnell, in the co-lead, warmed the hearts of the audience as Maragaret, the nurse who shatters Lachie ' s crust and releases the man within- Joe Brown gave a suave performance as Yank, the quick-tempered, hard-fighting Ameri¬ can. Frank Kerns ’’captivated” the audience as the blundering Englishman, Tommy. Peter Florino, as the comically tragic Basuto native, gave plenty to a part that called for little. Four comparative new¬ comers were Frank Nugent, Ray Weis, Bill Arquitt, and Bill Anhalt. Realistic setting—neat rows of beds, bamboo and matting walls, mosquito nets, and lush jungle. Fine and challenging war play. LACKIE PROPOSES MARRIAGE Chester Gallagher and Lillian McDonnell.

Sixty-five members in the large cast. Cards” served as the main diversion while await¬ ing cues. James Waring, an Army Air Corps veteran and form er member of the Players, gave a masterful touch to the title role. Well-remembered for such other Loras productions as ’ ' Ladies in Retirement,” The Wookey,” and Mary of Scotland.” Outstand¬ ing personality in the extremely large cast proved to be the smallest member in a small role—Wilfred Schmidt. As the French, Chinese, German or Span¬ ish scrivener, Schmidt added a much-needed note of comedy to an otherwise bloody” evening.

John Ryan, as King Edward I , switched from usual funnyman impersonations to heavy drama with the case of a true thespian. The honors in the feminine department were equally di¬ vided among three veterans—Lillian McDonnell, as Queen Elizabeth, impressed the appreciative audience with her regal quality as did Jeanne Wiedner, in the role of Lady Anne, with her lamenting, arrogance, and strong will. Pat Mullin, in her third appearance of the season, chilled the audience with her venomous role of Queen Margaret. Larry Kieffer, Bill Clark, Bill Arquitt, Gerald Shekleton. Wilfred Schmidt, and Julius Van Houtegan made their last appearances with the Players in a variety of roles. Complicated, grim, and impressive stage setting. Ghost scene had professional quality Set blue-printed by Fr. Semper. Put into effect by Fr. Donohue. Many a headache for Fr. Schroeder—polished production served as his reward. Once again, Shakespeare thrills an audience. STAGE 01 DRAMA RAMSHACKLE INN BODY IN THE TRUNK SOLVES MYSTERY Principals of the cast. Rich comedy, murder, liquor-smuggling, F.B.I. sleuthing, larceny and eerie surroundings alternately amused and frightened the Dubuqueland audience on Thursday evening, November 29 , 1945 - Eileen Mc- Quillen, as Belinda Pryde, ex-librarian, and John Ryan as Commodore Lucius Towser, the ' man in her life,” gave to their parts a sparkle, gaiety, and finish all their own. McQuillen did not use Zasu Pitts (the original Belinda) as her model but rather displayed highly individual playing by a gifted ac¬ tress. Pat Mullin scored again with her role of the gun moll as did Jeanette Lucas who threw off her quips brilliantly. Bill Clark served as a convincing stiff.” William Goltz rang the bell on his first try. John Cunningham and Kathleen Wiehl added the romantic interest, while Marion Raker contributed a bumptious bit of femininity. Others in the cast Lawrence Kieffer, Mary McCarten, James Milord, Robert Herman, Joe Doyle, and Robert Bakewell. Real rain and leaks in the roof added to the eerie appearance of Ramshackle Inn.” Another score chalked up for Fr. Schroeder, director, and Fr- Dono¬ hue, technical director. F. R. I.

Six main roles handled by Jeanne Wiedner, Jack Barloon, John Ryan, Ches¬ ter Gallagher, James Waring, and Lillian M,cDonnell. McDonnell, in the nominal lead, displayed the loveli¬ ness of Esther to perfection, while Barloon, as her uncle and foster father, proved himself capable on the stage. Kyan, as the keeper of the harem, was superb. Wiedner and Gallagher filled the roles of le villainous wife and husband. Waring again per- ,rnicd as a king—this one weak and casi led tray.

Day students on the committee included Charles Schrup, William Schrod¬ er and William Wagner. The first event on the year’s social calendar was the 194 5 Weiner roast sponsored in conjunction with the Piir old staff. Attending the annual event were the young ladies from Clarke College, Mount St. Agnes and Mercy Hospital, with whom numerous mixers were held throughout the year- The occasion was also marked by the first use of the tennis courts constructed at the east end of the stadium, though it was generally conceded that the courts are much better suited for tennis than dancing. Introducing the first football Homecoming since 1942 was the Homecoming dance held November 9, 1945 in the Loras Fieldhouse. Music for the gala occasion was provided by Larry Foster and his orches¬ tra. Decorations for this dance, as well as for the other numerous activities throughout the school year, were provided by Jack Dalton and his hard-working I )ecorations Commi ttee. CURIA The Loras Curia is now in its fifteenth year of existence, under the direction of the Rev. Edmund A. Kurth, moderator in the absence of the Rev. J. Kenneth Downing, who is pursuing his studies at Harvard University. The Curia meets weekly, and each meeting is directed by a previously appointed program chair¬ man who has charge of the evening’s activities. He may present any of a selection of programs including speeches, debates, discussions, quiz pro¬ grams, or an occasional guest speaker. Meetings are conducted according to parliamen¬ tary law, ' and members of the organization are chosen from all four classes. The club attempts to combine enjoyment with instruction in presenta¬ tion of its programs. Member-speakers received written commendations and criticisms from three judges, also members of the group, who are ap¬ pointed by the president just before each pro- Officers of the Curia this year were: Law¬ rence Kieffer, Vice-President and also acting Presi¬ dent to replace Elwood Voss; Wilfred W. Schmidt, Secretary-Treasurer; John R. Ryan, Parliamentar¬ ian; and Charles Kruse, Sergeant-at-Arms. New officers elected at the semester for the ensuing year are: President, Thomas Keating; ice-President, Gerald Fisher; Secretary-Treasurer, David Wheeler; Parliamentarian, Hugh Kelly; Sergeant-at-Arms, Alan Dunne. 1.) i DELTA SIGMA With the influx of veterans, many of whom live off campus, the Delta Sigma has grown mightily during the past year. Exclusively a day student or¬ ganization, this formidable society represents a type of life completely different from the boarder, who is restricted as to hours, automobiles, etc. Consequent¬ ly, day students took a lead in social activities and functions. Members of the Delta Sigma contributed, in no small way, to the success of the Duhawk grid ma¬ chine and the Loras championship basketball club. Along the intramural lines, day students displayed top-flight zest, netting both touchball and basketball crowns. A change in policy occured this year as the Delta Sigma was govern ed by a seven-man committee in¬ stead of the executive officers as had been precedent. .Members of this committee during the past year were Peter Schroeder, Robert Anijerson, Richard Lynch, Dave Wareham, William Johanningmeier, Charles Schrup and Matthew Higgins. The term of office for two of these men, Dave Wareham and Charles Schrup was interrupted when they were called to the army. OFFICERS Lynch, Higgins, Anderson, Schroeder .and Johanningmeier.

The Student Senate is the student governing body of Loras College, composed of the presidents of the four classes and two resident and two day students from each of the respective years. The purpose of this organization is to handle the various student problems that might arise and to form a representa¬ tive group to present the student point of view to the faculty. In this way a better spirit of cooperation between the two groups is greatly promoted. The student senate is also called upon to handle certain of the drives and campaigns which are carried on at different times of the year, e-g. the Christmas seal drive which far exceeded its quota this year was under the supervision of the student senators. In its first meeting of the year Frank Nugent, sen¬ ior class president, was elected president of the sen¬ ate, while Frank Perry and William Goltz, senior class resident student senators were voted in as vice- president and secretary-treasurer respectively. The Very Reverend Monsignor Arthur J. Breen, founder of the senate, is the faculty moderator of the organi¬ zation. Sfamlina: W ' hecicr, Kelly, Keating, Knipschiekl, Scijfcih. R. Sullivan, J.

I ' rotif Row: Ferring, Fisher, Klaas and Matt. Loras College students who usher Dubuqueland citizens to their respective places at all Loras College and Academy festivities render invaluable assistance as representatives of the strong arm of the law- Un¬ der the supervision of the Rev. Kenneth M. Ryan, its moderator, the Ushers Club became one of the most efficient and active organizations on the Loras campus. Working at all athletic events of the Col¬ lege and Academy, the members of this small but exclusive group have gained vast stores of knowl¬ edge related to the fields of the pugilistic arts, and it is the opinion of one and all that it is beneficial training for aspirants to the policeman’s professson. Through the graciousness of the administration, awards in recognition of their gallantry in braving the undulating crowds were granted the members of the Ushers Club at the end of the year as well as a trip to the St. Ambrosc-Loras basketball game at Davenport. Eight students were chosen to represent Loras in the honorary publication. Who ' s Who in American Colleges and IJniversifies. The group included five seniors: Frank Nugent, Ray Klaas, Robert Fcrring, Irwin Matt, and Joseph Brown, and three juniors: Dave Warcham, Gerald Fisher, and Eugene Cun¬ ningham. The Who ' s Who is a yearly publication containing the names of outstanding students in colleges through¬ out the United States. Students whose names arc to be enrolled in this society arc elected by the mem¬ bers of their respective classes. The publication is purely honorary and no fees arc required from mem¬ bers. Besides entitling the members to have their names included in the annual publication, and to wear the society insignia, an innovation has been inaugurated this year, in that each member receives a certificate of membership. 1 CHEERLEADERS Meet the boys who led the fans that cheered the championship-winning Duhawks. Under the guid¬ ing hand of moderator, Fr. N. C. Barrett, and the experienced leadership of Head Cheerleader (broad- smile, let’s go now”) Ed Conroy, they elicited many lusty yells from Loras followers- The return of foot¬ ball found them shivering in their white satin suits, yet yelling tremendously. When sports moved from the Rock Bowl to the gym, huge sections were re¬ served for college men and their close friends.” Always incendiary material, it was live-wire Vince Koehler that brought them to their kindling point _ nd the crowd with them. A number of newcomers completed the association. Bernie Engels and Terry Spencer were filled with sacred and reverent pride when they handled” a football game- Big con¬ tributor to general organized noise-making was Terry Rooney, who joined the squad at the beginning of the basketball season, replacing chubby Bill Kouski, who retired.

PURGOID T. Gerald Shekleton, Editor-in-Chicf On these slim, deminutive shoulders has rested the ponderous load of this erudite volume. Dominus Shekleton s incessant shuttlings between the down town districts and Loras College in pursuit of editorial material has worn the footpaths of old Dubuque to attenuated thicknesses. Jerry’s varied interests in scholastic arts, music, drama, and sketching, have made him a versatile editor-in-chief. Under the competent drection of Rev. Wm. Green the task of editing the Pnrgold was greatly lessened. William E. Clark, Associate Editor By the diligence and industry of this minute globule of atomic power, the 1946 Pnrgold was greatly speeded towards its consummation. His Victorian wit and prosaic humor redounds through the pages, sparkling as gems in a mire- His calmness of spirit and mellowness of temper off¬ set the red hair of the editor. Francis W. Slepicka, Associate Editor and William Greener, Sports Editor Through the able assistance of Frank, many of the problems which confronted the staff of the 1945 Pnrgold, were dispelled with a minimum of effort and a maximum of efficiency. Bill assumed and admirablv discharged, with skill and adroitness, his task of sports editor. He has most capably recorded for all posterity the remarkable record achieved by our Loras Duhawks. Gregory Doll, Staff Photographer Greg has turned out some exceptionally masterful pieces of photo¬ graphy for the 1946 Pnrgold, and to him should go a great allotment of credit for a job well done. Greg has been a swell and congenial fellow to have as a member of the staff, and we have deeply appreciated his gener¬ ous gift of time and experience. 100 - Joseph E. Brovc n, Business Manager OF ’46 This personable young man, known in seminary circles as Gregory, pecks out a meager existence as the PurgoliVs business manager. During his four years of association with the Loras College publications he has done much to better all of them- Perhaps the largest undertaking of his career was the editing of the 1945 ( ' suitease”— out in two weeks”) Purgold, Joe is a true gentleman and a scholar, and his services have been invaluable. John R. Ryan, Photographic Editor Rodney, not only stuck to his photography, but also gave his super- substantial assistance to his editor and executive superior. He probably owes a great portion of his literary success to his buoyant roommate, but there is no doubt as to his own creative genius. He lent his many talents whole heartedly to the service of the Purgold, Frederick A. Rand, Literary Editor and W. William Schmidt, Makeup Editor These two have been an inspired combination. They have labored long and tedious hours with just the correct combination of good humor and persistence. The tranquility of room 401 was ne’er rent asunder ex¬ cept on those rare occasions when Schmidt’s thesaurus lacked the proper verbiage to express his sublimity of thought. Vincent Koehler, Assistant Business Manager Vince has proved himself to be an apt contortionist, not only in the gymnasium, but also in the realm of finance- It is through the multiple efforts of Vince and his pack of money hounds that the Purgold has be¬ come an actuality. Truly, he has brought in the life blood, so necessary for the success of a student publication. 101 THE lORIAN GERALD FISHER, EJi or-hi-Chicf This year the Lorian had two Homecom¬ ings, one in the fall and the other in the early winter. In November the first all-out Homecom¬ ing in three yea s was dedicated to the Loras Gold Star Heroes and the Lorian en¬ tered wholeheartedly into the spirit and theme as seventy-six gold stars in memory of Lorasmen who gave their lives for their country framed page one of the Homecom¬ ing issue. Then in December Burton R. McQuillan returned to Loras after serving three years in the army and he once again assumed his duties as faculty manager of the Lorian. The news department was hampered and bothered at various time for lack of news, but ingenuity always filled the gaps. Scoop¬ ing,” a rare occurence at Loras was on a par with other years. On the editorial page the policy was steady and vigorous but neither bombastic nor reactionary. Sporting events of the year were covered by accurate reporting as Bill Greener, ever- ready sports editor, recorded varsity sports and intramural activities in an efficient style. Columnists Brown, Grady, Gogerty and Milord churned out an endless amount of words to uphold the feature department. Vets column with thumbnail pictures and sketches scored a hit. On the mechanical side aides Frank Sle- picka and Ray Klaas poured over countless galley sheets in search of errors. Business Manager, Doyle Fleming was called to the army at mid-year and Harold Koenigsaecker was appointed to fill the post. Fifth in a long line of Badger State Lorian editors is Gerald E. Fisher, junior cleric, from Eau Claire, Wis., editor-in-chief of the 1945- 46 Lorian Anthony Wagener, James Finu- can, Joseph Brown and N. Paul Klaas, all natives of Wisconsin, are the four immediate predecessors of this year’s editor Editor Fisher, an ardent journalist, promi¬ nent contributor and writer throughout his three years at Loras, besides participating in straight journalism” has performed respon¬ sible editorial positions on the ’45 Piiri old and the ’45-’46 Slwkcsnian, editing the sports on the former and serving as an associate editor on the latter.

In four issues, pub¬ lished at two month intervals throughout the year, it carries a representative selection of writings from the four classes. The Spokesman is issued under the surveil¬ lance of the Rev. James J. Donohue, faculty moderator, to whom all articles are submit¬ ted for approval. Joseph E. Brown, senior, and former staff member, served as editor during the past year. Articles were contributed mainly by a board of associate editors composed of mem¬ bers of the creative writing class and under¬ classmen with some journalistic experience. Selections for the annual verse and short story contests are taken from its content and submitted for judging. From time to time the magazine is devoted to special events of literary significance on the campus- The final number traced the history of the Loras Dramatic Club during the war giving the background, casts and criticisms of all pro¬ ductions.

The membership of the Clerical Club, which is almost universal among upperclassmen, is composed entirely of pre-seminary philosophers in their Junior and Senior year. The aim of this society is not only to provide for the spiritual amelioration of the mem¬ bers, but also to achieve unity of voice to serve as an exemplary and motivating factor for the other stu¬ dents. The Reverend Ernest P. Ament, spiritual direc¬ tor at Loras, was moderator of this campus group for the past year. Father Ament informs the group in matters relative to their status as pre-seminarians. Joseph h. Brown, senior from Madison, Wiscon¬ sin, was named president of the clerical group in an election which was held at the beginning of the year. Brown succeeds Joseph J- Donahue as president of the club. Gerald E. Fisher, junior cleric from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, held the post of vice-president, while Earl R. Larson, senior cleric from Dubuque, Iowa, served as secretary-treasurer. Although the Clerical Club is a campus organiza¬ tion with a long history behind it, it has become a relatively important group only during the past three years. This y ar, membership in the society has ex¬ ceeded all previous bounds. It is the duty of these students to serve at all the chapel functions both in Keane Hall and St. Joseph Hall on Sundays. The group did not sponsor a Talent Show or musi- cale, such as the h ' oll cs of Erin last year, because with the return to normal, peace-time standards, the ac¬ tivities this year were far too numerous and pressing to undertake such a task. 104- Under the competent supervision of our five Sacristans O’Brien, Kruse, Hawks, Outer and Engler, the altars and vestments of the Loras College chapels received ex¬ cellent and experienced attention. Always on hand to add the finishing touch in the vesting of Loras priests for the offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass their assist¬ ance was invaluable and often went with¬ out sufficient praise. They have done their work well and have honorably accepted and carried out their entrusted duties. I nnu lA ' it io Kruse, O’Brien, Outer, Kngler and Hawks. Devotion to the Little Flower of Jesus, Patroness of Vocations, St. Therese of Lisieux, has been a tradi¬ tional mark of student life in the college. The constant aim of the society has been to foster devotion to the Little Flower of Jesus, to secure her help in the selection of proper and successful voca¬ tions, to seek her aid and intercession for those who have recourse to her assistance, and to provide for special devotion to the Little Flower through Masses. The work of the society is manifest in the response of the student body who have zealously pursued this devotion to the Little Flower. Much of the success of the society is due to the guiding influence and con¬ stant interest of Msgr. Breen who has been the moder¬ ator of the society since its inception. Robert Ferring served as general chairman, and Chester Gallagher as vice-chairman for this school term. The office of secretary went to Tom Currier, while Leland Corkery acted as treasurer and Tom Morrison as custodian. Prefect Ferring Implores Aid. Vrou!

Matt, Shekleton and Blackburn were ap¬ pointed by Father Ryan for the summer ses¬ sion. In the fall Grotkin and Greener were added to this group by Msgr. Breen. These men are clerics and members of the senior class. Other members of the Clerical group are appointed weekly to take charge of the pray¬ ers before meals in the dining hall. 105 C.S.M.C. jr OFFICERS OF CS.M.C. I’.ngicr, Van Houtcgan and Milord.

During a heated Loras basketball game when ex¬ citement runs sky high and throats get parched among the spectators, who is the first man they uni¬ versally clamor for? Or while the icy blasts of Old Man Winter cut right through the crowd at a foot¬ ball game, who does everyone look for to warm them up? None other than that faithful carrier of sweet confections and peppy potions, the C.S.M.C. vendor. Hawking his precious hard-to-get wartime wares while impatient buyers are all screaming together, making change above the din of six cokes, please,” or seven bags of peanuts,” rushing back for refills are no mean feats. But the Mission Unit Group braved them all. However, the Club made one of their implicit maxims never to limit their talents. The annual Halloween Party bore this theory into practice. Un¬ der the auctioneering capers of Louis Marrone, the group netted a cool $80.00, the proceeds going to the Missions. Other successful endeavors of the Band were the selling of Sunday newspapers in the Arista and the collecting of cancelled stamps. Special bouquets to Julius Van Houtegan, Ernesl Lngler, Louis Marrone, Bob Budouin, Prank Bean, Joe Thul, Jack King and all the others who were the unit’s mainstays through6 it the year and whose genuine co-operation and sacrifice enabled the year to be a profitable one both for the Missions and the students. The Crusade was led under the tutelage of the Rev. Ernest P. Ament, moderator; Julius Van Houte¬ gan, president; Ernest Engler, secretary-treasurer, and Louis Marrone, activity director. - - lOG- SODALITY OFl-lCHRS OH SODALITY ILnvks, Kcatini;, Hcrrini; and Milord. l-ishor HcMsts .u Annual llanquet.

The Loras College Sodality, under the patronage and protection of the Blessed Virgin, aims to improve the spir.t- Ll as well as the temporal life of the Loras ““deny sp.r- ual, by increased devotion to our Blessed Lady, and tem¬ poral through the programs designed to improve m- tellcct and for helping to correct the wrongs o t e AOr c. During the past year, the Sodality has sponsored vari¬ ous forms of activities including discussion clu s an meetings at which guest speakers hold the spot-light. The November meeting had Fr. Schulte giving an enlightening talk on the popular subject of today, the Atomic Bomb; he pointed out that it is unlikely that the bomb will en¬ danger the world to such an extent that it would destroy At the February meeting a discussion of home life and how to better it was held. At the March meeting Fr. Hoffman gave a talk on his experiences as a chaplain in World War II, and told us of the heroism of many of our men. On December 8th, the Sodality held its annual recep¬ tion banquet at Mary of the Angels Home. Archbishop Rohlman, Msgr. Martin, Fr. Jaeger, I ' r. Ament, and Fr. Downing were among the distinguished guests. As a financial aid, the Sodality again sponsored a vast sale of Christmas cards, and part of the proceeds going to the subscription of The Ouccn s Work, edited by Fr. Lord. Again this year the Sodality had as its moderator, Fr. Nye, who gave much of his time for the betterment of the society. With Robert Ferring as prefect, James Milord as vice-prefect, Thomas Keating as secretary, and Vincent Hawks as treasurer, the Sodality has completed another highly successful year. -107 CHOIR — Top Row, left to right: Russell Jondreau, Francis Slcpicka, John Cun¬ ningham, Wayne Knipschield, Joseph Steiber, and John Simplot.

The Loras College Vested Choir this year concludes its forty-first season the eighth under its present director, the Rev. Emmett G. Kelly- This is the end of a highly suc¬ cessful season during which a great deal of new talent was introduced into the organization. An entirely different series was presented by the choir this past season different, that is, from those which have been consistently used during the past few years. Special mention might be made of the Mass in honor of St. Joseph by Dietrich which was used on most of the solemn feasts during the year. The choir prepared special music for the Thirteen Hours’ y doration, held this year on the Least of the Epiphany, March 6, as well as for the Least of St. Joseph, the pa- tronal feast of the college, March 19. One of the major events of the year in which the choir participated was the investiture of fifteen new monsignori on April 9 in St. Raphael’s Cathedral. Immediately after the newly-installed prelates had received their robes of office from the Most Rev- Henry P. Rohlman, Coadjutor Arch¬ bishop of Dubuque who was acting for Pope Pius XII, the choir sang the Tii Es Petrus by Michael Haller, and then pro¬ ceeded with the singing of the Solemn Pontifical Mass which was celebrated by the Most Rev. Louis B. Kucera, Bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska. The choir made its annual Palm Sunday appearance in St. Raphael’s Cathedral on April 14, to furnish the musical setting for the blessing of the palms and the chanting of St. Matthew’s Passion by three priest soloists. The annual choir banquet was held immediately following at noon. Regular rehearsals were held twice a week throughout the year, and early in the spring an extra rehearsal was scheduled with the Clarke College Glee Club each Sunday afternoon in preparation for the meeting of the Iowa Catho¬ lic Music Educators in Davenport on May 6, in which both organizations took part. The Loras Choir and the Clarke Glee Club participated in the singing of Gregorian Mass I in the Cathedral. Later the combined groups sang a series of mixed chorus numbers including Ciudy, Thanks to the Yanks, and the Lred Waring arrangement of Battle Hymn of the Republic. Special credit is due to members of the schola who faith¬ fully practiced each Saturday afternoon to sing the pro¬ pers of coming Masses as well as special Gregorian hymns for use at the Offertory of the Mass during Advent and Lent. The Vested Choir, which was founded by the Rev. Al¬ phonse Dress in 1905, upholds the ideals of church music not only for the Archdiocese of Dubuque but also for the middlewest. It is itself an ideal for other choirs to imitate, and its ideals are an inspiration for its many members who are studying to be priests. Librarians of the choir for the past year were Paul Mc¬ Donald, Robert McLaughlin, and Hugh Kelly. Sacristans were Cletus Golinvaux, John Cunningham, and Dave Wheeler. 108 Two students, a senior and a freshman, tell of the bene¬ fits derived from membership in the Loras College Vested Choir. EARL LARSON, a Senior. In my estimation, no organization on the Loras cam¬ pus has a larger and greater tradition than the Loras Vest¬ ed Choir. It is a signal honor for me to be associated with this organization which strives to arouse in its mem¬ bers an appreciation of and an ability to sing sacred music, especially Gregorian Chant. This latter is the solemn, traditional liturgical music of the Catholic Church. The Loras College Vested Choir has always striven, under the leadership of Father Dress, in former years and of Father Kelly, its present director, to interpret this music correctly. Furthermore, it is for me a member of the Clerical group, a privilege to be able to study the music of the Church. The Vested Choir helps prepare us for the semi¬ nary. Finally I may say that I am deeply grateful to God and to the college of which the choir is such a large part that I have received in that choir my initial training in Gregorian chant and truly fine music. RANDALL M. FOSTER, a Freshman. Students join the Loras College Vested Choir for many reasons, which may vary from a love of music to simple curiosity. For these they join, but for another, far more important motive they remain faithful and direct their greatest efforts to the functioning of the most genuinely honorable organization on the campus. This motive is the honor and glory of God. What could be greater? Our choir’s theme is the enhancement of the mo t holy Sacrifice of the Mass. How deep must be the roots of this choir that claims such loyalty of its members. The Vested Choir’s roots are deep—deep in the honored chronicles of a Loras and deep in the hearts of its members of yesterd.iy and today I am grateful and proud a small place in the ranks of the choir s members.

An organization such as the Loras College Band is called upon for many things. They are asked to provide the color and sparkle of the football games, to make the Homecoming festivities more memor¬ able, to provide pleasant combinations of serious and popular music for its annual Christmas Concert. The Band then packs its instruments and hurries over to the Loras Field House to entertain the crowds at the Duhawk basketball games, and finishes its season by providing The PofnI) ajiJ Circiinntance for com¬ mencement. While these annual duties sound as though they would keep the bandmen busy 24 hours a day, they also find time for other special perform¬ ances. Probably the most unusual request in the band s history was for a brass and reed choir to play at the investiture of 14 monsignori at St. RaphaePs Cathedral on April 9th. This segment of the band won such favorable enthusiastic comment that it was again asked to play at special services at the Cathedral honoring His Eminence Cardinal Tien, the first Car¬ dinal of China. Following this the entire band pro¬ vided a musical setting for the festivities in the field house in the afternoon. Perhaps now it would be well to see just who made up the 194 5-46 Loras College Band. The organiza- ' tion was ably led by Director Vaughn Cayman. The difficult job of carrying most of the lead fell upon | the shoulders of Bill Goltz, a senior and an old timer in the Loras band; Bill Giese, also an old standby; Robert Williams, a new-comer this year; Bernie Musel, « a discharged vet; and Jimmy Cooke, an academy man who capably handled his share—all solo trumpets. The second trumpets, while all academy bandsmen, held down their chairs justly. They were Jack Rolling, Mike Maggio, Bob Nagele and Loras Maloney. A strong trombone section was composed of Irwin Matt, a senior and an old bandsman, and newcomers Joe Lawlor, Joe Fox, and Paul Powers. Pete Pauly, a talented ac.idemy lad, handled the baritone horn. Wilfrid McWilliams, an old standby and senior, head¬ ed the B-flat bass section and was ably .assisted by Vince Hawks. James Koll, another new bandsman, played bass drum while Bill Callaghan, a senior and truly a big man in the band, Delmar Van Natta, Bob Kemp, and Al Martin, all new men, played drums, augmented by George Bell who served as cymbal player and piano accompanist. The reed section featured Bill Merrill, Roy Beres- ford, Nick Peschang, and Bob Fiskc, an academy lad, on the clarinet. Leland Van Skike, a new recruit and a one-man band, Phil Chamberlin, a discharged vet. John Kearns and Gene Recker, academy bandsmen, played alto sax. Mel Reding played the unusual C- melody sax, while the tenor sax department was taken care of by Greg Doll and Charlie Huss with Dick Zimmer, another academy boy, and Robert Auer, an¬ other senior and old-timer, holding down the bottom of the chord with the baritone and bass saxes re¬ spectively. While the Loras bandsmen do give a great deal of their time to help make Loras one of the finest schools in the country, they do have a great deal of fun do¬ ing it. There is the annual band concert at Mar ' of the Angels, and the picnic in the spring which are enjoyed by all. The weekly rehearsals, too, are not without their jokes—both practical and of the com mon garden variety such as the time Cooke bless a note at the wrong time and the infuriated Doll re torted, Get the blazes off of my note!!!” The climax of this year’s season was Vaughn Gay- man’s College Band further augmented by academy talent. Performance at commencement—an occasion long remembered by bandsmen, graduates, stu faculty and parents alike. Congratulations band of 1945-46! You’ve done a grand job. TROMRONT-S lU-.AT OUT.

' ip ' i. ’.T r i I i ( i J L FOOTBALL After three years of inactivity the Loras College grid- men again returned to the field of battle. Coach Vince Dowd had only 50 men report for his first practice but was shortly rejoicing at the spirit shown by these few. The squad was made up of men that had relatively little ex¬ perience in the game or those that had been away from it for a term in the service of Uncle Sam. The season with eight scheduled games was begun with some doubt as to the ability of the green material to come through with a respectable record on the field. The team was highlighted by the appearance of many veterans who took and held most of the starting assign¬ ments. The ends were perhaps the least of the coaches worries. Tall lanky Steve Slattery came through in fine style to make and hold a starting end berth. Steve prepped at Edgewood High of Madison and came to the Loras camp with quite a build-up. It was not very late in the season when he had proved that the build-up was well deserved. His added height was of no little consequence in the outcome of many of the Duhawk contests. The WAKI IIAM— :; , ANDKRSON—r,« • i ai.mi:r— j i SLATTIiRY— •;„ KVKTZ—Turkic JiAGlELLA—Tackle McCLAiN— KOPSHEVER— Other end berth was held by Dave Wareham, who cer¬ tainly needs no introduction to the sport fans of Loras. Dave began the season in the quarterback slot but was switched to an end berth and remained there to become one of the Dowdmen ' s biggest scoring threats. Gene Kutsch and Don Palmer provided the reserve strength in these two posts. Both men saw plenty of ac¬ tion and aided the Duhawk cause con¬ siderably by their efforts. The tackle posts found Coach Dowd in something of a dither. The material was by no means lacking but there was a great shortage of experience in this de¬ partment. Bob Anderson, former Loras Academy star, returned from the Marine Corps to give this position a try. Hunk had been a fullback in his high school career and was making his first attempt at a line berth. The fact that Bob now tipped the scales at 210 pounds further added to his switch to the line. He came through in grand style to become the Lorasmen’s best lineman. Big Frank Jagiella found himself also in a tackle berth after a sojurn in the fullback slot in high school. Prank was big and fast, to make him a fitting running mate for Anderson. Bill Kurtz, former Leo High star came later to take over at a tackle berth but found himself in the role of utility lineman. Bill was switched from tackle to guard as the opposition warranted, but in either posi¬ tion was a continual threat to opposing ball carriers. Bill Johanningmeier and Bob Auer were the mainstays of sup¬ port in the tackle berths, with Louie Morrone coming later to add his 260 pounds to the fray. The guards were one of the other weak points of the Dowd lineup at the outset of the season. Jack Kopshever, another veteran of Leo High, was the most outstanding of the early reporters. Jack was small but by no means light and showed that he was well acquainted with the position. He sparked the center of the line through the season. Bill Kurtz started the season at the other guard spot but was switched shortly after to a tackle berth. Vince Hawks, former Loras Academy stalwart, held down the other guard spot after a tough battle with newcomer Ray Green. Green began the season with no knowledge of the game but fin¬ ished as the outstanding member of the line group. Pat Bark Roil’’ G.

Burnett and Bud Dunn added their efforts to fur¬ ther strengthen these mid-line berths. Ray Busse, formerly of the A.A.F., filled the cen¬ ter spot for most of the season. Busse likewise be¬ came a utility lineman when the occasion demanded and filled a tackle berth, the position he had played in high school. Busse was plagued by injuries through¬ out the season but was present when any foe attempt¬ ed to pass the center spot. Bill Greener and Joe Brown along with Ray Weis provided adequate re¬ serve material for the passing post. Brains were by no means lacking among the back- field men but the nod for the brains slot went to diminutive Carl Ottavi. Cuz tipped the scales at a mere 120 pounds but could throw the ball like a veteran. In his first year of football he proved that size does not make the football star. Cuz led the team while in the T formation while heavier and more experienced Vince Owens led it in the Box sys¬ tem. Owens proved to be the scourge of opposing ball carriers as he backed up the line with no mean ability. His blocking made him a valuable asset to the Box formation. Halfbacks were of many and varied types in the Duhawk camp. Ray Braun and Bill Wagner, both Dubuquers, got the starting assignment in this posi¬ tion. Both men were fast and shifty as well as being able to snare passes. Bob Schlueter and Fritz Gan- shirt also saw action as backs in various capacities. Wayne Knipschicld, Duhawk basket ace, proved to be the man to watch in the Loras backfield. Knip- per carried 190 pounds on ;i frame built for speed. His abilities as a cageman also helped his grid career since the Dowdmen featured an aerial attack. Don Wandro and the switching of Jagiella from his line berth further strengthened this all important position, tion. This gave the Dowdmen a traveling squad of some thirty odd men. The squad that made the trips throughout the season remained much the same. The squad was: ends, Wareham, Slattery, Palmer, Kutsch BUSSK—Cr; (T OW ' V.NS—Qinir crhurk SCHLUKTER—Q . r rr r : CAPT.

They not only made the trips but brought glory and renown to themselves and their school. LORAS, 19; CORNELL, 7—September 29 The Duhawks journeyed to Mount Ver¬ non, Iowa, for their first test of the season. They entered the game an underdog to a strong navy-manned Cornell. The Duhawks ran through and passed around the vaunted Cornell defenses to set the squad on the vie tory march. CornelPs defenses were strong enough to hold the Duhawks several times on the one yard line but even then their attempts were spasmodic. Wayne Knipschield proved to be the star of the game as the crashing fullback made first downs almost at will. Knipschield led the Duhawks back down the field to tally six points and to start the seige of the Cornell goal line. It was not until the third stanza that the men from Loras again crossed that line. This time the Duhawks took to the air to tally as two Ot- tavi - to - areham flips netted six points. Ottavi passed again to Wareham to set up the third T.D. for the Dowdmen. Vince Owens carried the ball from the ten on a line buck to score the final marker for Loras. Ottavi then passed again, this time to Slat¬ tery for the extra point. The green Duhawk squad at least proved that even if inexperienced they were in con¬ dition to play the game. Cornell could not say the same as nine Blue and White grid- ders were taken from the field including three of the starting eleven. LORAS, 27; ST. MARY’S, MINN., 0— October 7 In their first home grid encounter in three years the Duhawks gave the fans all the thrills that could be asked for in any game. Kopshever smashes through Iowa State Teachers stopped on one. Wareham cuts for pass. Knipschlld tallies 6 for Loras. SLATTERY (L) AIDS IN TACKLE! circlkI J OWA STATE TEACHPP LINE or SCRIMMAGE LORASf In the first minute of play fullback Wayne Knipschield took the ball from center and fought his way 97 yards to score. The score could have been much larger but Coach Dowd substituted freely, using 3 3 men in the contest. The Redmen seemed to fall apart after Knipschield’s long jaunt in the opening. They outscored the Duhawks 1 I first downs to 10 but could not cross the Loras goal line. In the second quarter the Redmen made their only sustained drive of the conquest, marching 73 yards to the Loras nine before they lost the ball on downs. Russell and Walz spearheaded the Redmen’s attack. The lack of reserve strength was a big hindrance to the undermanned Mary’s squad. The big news for the Duhawks that week had been the return of the captain of the 118 - ••DOC” KAMMKR, Tniiiicr. ’42 squad from the Air Force, Heinie Engel. Heinie did his bit for the day by taking the ball over from the one for one of the six pointers. Bill Wagner intercepted one of the Mary’s passes a short time later and scampered 60 yards to plant the ball on his opponent’s 22. A few plays later he cut off tackle to hit pay dirt from the 7. Owens attempted placement was blocked. The second string played the closing minutes and added a safety to the Loras total as Me Joint was downed by a host of tacklers after intercepting a Loras pass in his end zone. LORAS, 14; I. S. T. C., 19—October 13 The Dowdmen riding the crest of the victory wave set out to sink the highly favored Teacher eleven on the Tu¬ tors’ gridiron. A squad of 3 5 men made the long trip for the contest. The hopes of the locals got another shot in the arm with the return of Don McClain, veteran guard of the ’42 squad. Don was outstanding for the Dowd¬ men in a reserve capacity in this contest. The Teachers scored in the first period when Q. B. Don Brandt picked up his own fumble and fell over the goal line. Bill Chambers drop-kicked the only point after touchdown that the Tutors scored. The Teachers eleven can be thankful that last minutes do not come more often in the game. In the second quar¬ ter the Lorasmen scored on a pass, Knipschield to Palmer, with only 20 seconds to play. Knipschield’s conversion was good. Again in the last stanza the Dowdmen segred with only 15 seconds to play and again via the air route the ball was put in scoring position. Knipschield carried it over from the seven and kicked the extra point. The Duhawks were helpless against the overshifting of the Tutors backfield on defense. The Duhawks were su¬ preme in the air, however, and made the best possible use of this method of attack. Army’s attack. He was a former star of the Camp Ellis team which had compiled an impressive record among the service elevens.. The Duhawks again took to the air to escape the on¬ rushes of the better than 200 pound Camp Grant line. The ends were run at will and the line itself was cracked upon occasion as the purple and gold squad made its best show¬ ing to date. Knipschield again led the Duhawk attack. The Army recovered a Loras fumble on the 34 and Bud Herman finally scored first blood for the Army. Loras came back as Braun, Ottavi, Owens and Engel continued to run the ends dizzy. The soldiers won their other two points in the fourth quarter as Ottavi, attempting to pass out of danger, was trapped behind the goal line. The soldiers started to march but lost the ball on downs to the Duhawks. Knipschield reeled off tackle for 27 to the Army’s 7. Ottavi again took to the air and hit Wareham in the end zone for the tally. Knip failed to convert. LORAS, 29; WHEATON, 7—October 24 The high flying Duhawks came through with another thriller in a game that had been rated a toss up. WTeaton’s homecoming was definitely dampened as they saw their eleven helpless in the hands of the men from Loras. Power and razzle-dazzle were well mixed to give the Dowdmen the lopsided edge over the Crusaders. Early in the second quarter the Duhawks took the offen¬ sive to tally their first score. Ray Braun drove across from the 20 to mark the score. The half ended with Loras in possession on the Crusader’s 30. The last quarter saw the reserves take over in their first big chance of the year and add two more markers to the Loras sum. Gene Kutsch scored on an end around and Fran Ganshirt hit pay dirt from the three on a line smash. Wheaton made things a little better for their homecoming crowd by crossing the Loras goal line just once in this final period. Safstrom took a pass on the 30 and made the score unmolested. The reserves played heads up ball to give the varsity some worries as to their starting berths. LORAS, 18; OLATHE N. A. T. S., 26—November 3 The underdog Duhawks put on their best home show of the season as they dropped a hard fought tilt to the Sailors from Olathe, Kansas. The battle featured a family •’Punk” Breaks Away. LORAS, 20; CAMP GRANT, 8—October 19 Fear reigned in the Duhawk camp as they prepared for battle with perhaps their most impressive foe of the year. Camp Grant. The Duhawk lineup was juggled to meet the vaunted aerial attack of the Army. Steve Slattery was switched to the center berth to back up the line on defense and Don McClain was busy filling the shoes of the injured Jack Kopshever. Camp Grant sported a lineup that was formidable from any and all viewpoints. Bud Herman spearheaded the — 119 lORAS COllEGE FOOTBAll RECORD-1945 LORAS . .19— CORNELL COLLEGE 7 LORAS . .27— ST.

The Clippers featured a wide open type of play much akin to that which the Duhawks used. A lateral pass play, Engel to Meuller, was good for two clipper tallies in the first period. The Engel-MenHer combination proved to be a thorn in the side of the Duhawks thru the whole game. The Dowdmen came back in the second stanza to score through the air, Knipschield to Owens. A later aerial backfired as Lockhart intercepted a Knipschield pass and loped to the goal line . The half ended with the Clippers in the lead 19 to 6. Loras again took to the air in the third period with good results. Knipschield’s pass to Slattery was good for the 120- final Duliawk score of the contest. Dave Wareham was outstanding for the Duhawks in breaking up the compli¬ cated Clipper lateral plays. LORAS, 25; ST. JOHN’S, 7 A fine football season was climaxed by a gala homecom¬ ing reminiscent of the pre-war days at Loras. The Gold Star Sports Heroes of the College were honored especially in this celebration. The Duhawks, led by Captain Heinie Engel and Wayne Knipschield, were unbeatable on the grid¬ iron this day. They led the Johnnies a merry chase up and down the field. The Bendamen were spasmodic in their greatness while the Duhawks shown throughout the con¬ test. Dave Wareham turned in another fine performance at his end post and left the campus for a session in the BEST DEFENSE SINCE 72 The green Loras gridders turned out to be a team of no mean abilities as they set some new records for the Loras books. In 1922 the Duhawks, under Eddie Ander¬ son, scored 170 points in seven games. This year in the same number they racked up 162 markers to 74 for their opponents. The Duhawk passing attack proved to be its most potent weapon as they gained 12 57 yards by pass¬ ing. There were 69 completions in 155 attempts for a 4 5 per cent average. The average gain per pass was 19 yards. The season record of five wins and two losses is an indication of great things to come for the Duhawks. There was only one man lost to the squad by graduation. Cap¬ tain Henie Engel. The other members of the squad are all under classmen. The freshmen made up the bulk of the squad with very few upper classmen in the running. The final game was a more than fitting tribute to the many men of Loras that gave their lives that such things as football games and homecomings might continue in America. 121 IOWA CONFERENCE CHAMPS Buck Rote: Proctor, Gaynor, McArcavy, Schramm, Gainey, Ottavi, Budden, Coach Dowd. I ront Row: Joyce, Moran, Lynch, Slattery, Marty, McNally, Kutsch. The Duhawks went into action against the Schick Plosptal five and proved their unwillingness to part with the Conference crown. In this non-Confer- ence tune-up the Dowdmen shellacked Schick 56 to he opener gave the Dowdmen a chance to show as 15 of them saw action in this contest. Wayne Knipschield lived up to his press notices and led the Dowdmen in the scoring column with 17 markers. John Moran established himself as a threat to any and all as he dumped long shots from the back court to take second honors with 12 tallies. Cap tain Dick Lynch and Cuz Ottavi also aided the Duhawk efforts with 10 and eight points respectively. The Duhawk machine was not yet in high gear as was proved in their next contest. The Dowdmen hit the road and went into the red as they dropped a hard-fought tilt to a taller and more experienced Iowa State College five by a 51 to 3 5 count. Wayne Knipschield who had paced the Duhawks in their opener was forced to sit this one out by the flu. Dick Lynch kept Loras in the game with his sensational push shots but the one man attack was not enough to stave off the men from Ames.

Wayne Knipschield came back from the sick list and so did the Duhawks as they trounced the South Dakota State five in a thrilling 5 6 to 47 victory, to begin a week of three tough tilts at home. Knip¬ schield again led the Duhawks against So. Dakota with 12 points. The Duhawk hopes got a shot in the arm with the return of George McNally, ace of the Iowa Seahawks and former Loras star. George had played with the Loras men under Coach Dowd as a member of the Navy in the V-5 program at Loras. His return meant a new change in the Du¬ hawk strategy as Mac ’ is no mean ball handler. Defeats began to plague the Duhawks as the) played in the non-conference circuit and with teams that brought more than just names to the Loras g m. Denver University was barely able to get past the Dowdmen by a 46 to 45 count. The Pioneers were given the edge from the free throw line as the Pur¬ ple and Gold five could not get started in this de¬ partment.

Duhawks for the same reason and by a similarly small margin, 48 to 45. Wayne Knipschield, Mc¬ Nally and Lynch again passed the Duhawks but could not hit from the free throw line. The final game of the week put the men from Loras on the road and into St. Paul, Minn., to meet the St. Thomas quintet. The string of four games in a single week and two in a row was two much for the Duhawks as they fell before the Tommies in their worst de¬ feat of the season, 61 to 3 8. The Duhawks were in a slump and seemed doomed to stay there as they dropped their next game to the highly publicized St. Louis five. The only bright spot in the week was the return of Paul Proctor, former Duhawk and vet¬ eran of the Naval Air Corps. Paul was a big asset to Loras in his days here with the Navy and speedily lived up to his old record as he worked into the new lineup with ease. Loras was still in the slump and was about to start on the Conference competition when Micky Marty returned. Marty needed no advance build-up. He had established himself in Loras basketball as a star at Loras Academy. During his term in the Marines he led the strong San Diego Base team in the scoring bracket while the squad picked up 5 5 consecutive victories. Offsetting Mickey’s return Wayne Knipschield was put on the sick list again although he did sec action in the Simpson tilt. Mar¬ ty’s return proved to be the deciding factor in the Duhawks add two.

The Simpson five had given the Duhawks the only setback of last season in the Conference and were determined to do it again. Both teams fought on an even basis on the small Simpson floor until the closing minutes. Seley then put the Redmcn in the lead by one bucket but Marty tied things up and forced the game into an overtime in which he scored again to give the Duhawks the edge by a 5 4 to 49 count. Coe C.ollege likewise fell before the now ram¬ paging l.orasmen with Marty again showing the wav with 30 points. Coe went down fighting 79 to 51 and a new high was set for the Duhawks that was to be maintained for some games to come. St. Ambrose was the next victim of the C]ion- ference pointing Duhawks. Marty and Moran com¬ bined to give the Bees a sound going over, 5 6 to 24. Marty compiled his 12 points in the first halt while the reserves took over in the final half. Penn and Central also could not stop the Duhawks from keep¬ ing a clean slate in the conference as they were 125 12() Preparing tin defense Makini; it touj ' h. S«)mcbn ,lv m.ulc ii.

Central gave Lo! as the first bit of trouble they had encountered since the Simpson fray as they held the I.orasmcn to a 21 to 17 halftime lea d. The Duhawks were then tested by one of the top teams in the country as the Camp Grant Army five came to Dubuque. The Army was riding the crest of a 1 S game winning streak and was primed for number 16 at the expense of Loras. The Du¬ hawks as usual provided a game filled with thrills as they dropped the Army five by a 61 to 42 count in I heir first major upset of the season. The fast shoot¬ ing Duhawks rushed the Grant quintet so as to com¬ pletely stop their set shot experts. Micky Marty again paced the Dowdmen with 19 points to take top scoring honors for the night. McNally and Moran contributed the rest of the Duhawk points while Lynch did a beautiful job on the defense. The Army had a bad two weeks in Dubuque as the second Army quint to face the Dowdmen went the way of all challengers and came in on the short end of a 77 to 44 total. The entire Duhawks squad saw action as the Army had trouble even hitting the bank board at times, so hard were they pressed. Steve Slattery and the reserves playing the final 10 min¬ utes of the fray added 2 5 points to the Loras total. ' SIats ' hit for nine points in the final minutes of play. The high flying Duhawks were finally toppled from the victory trail by the Iowa Teachers on the Teacher floor by a 48 to 43 margin. The smooth working Duhawks could not make up for the early edge they had given the Teachers. The game was fought point by point all the way with only that early edge stopping the Loras men from keeping their winning streak. Coming back into Conference play the Duhawks went back into the win column with a bang as the Penn team fell before the big guns of the Dowdmen, 80 to 34. Steve Slattery had a field night as he paced the Duhawks to victory with 19 markers. The returned Jack Joyce added a great floor game to his already impressive record. The higfi scoring Duhawks went even higher as they met the Wart burg five on the Loras floor and set a new Confer¬ ence scoring record in hitting the hoop for 101 points to a mere 41 for the Knights. Proctor, Slattery and Marty paced the Loras men, hitting for 70 points by themselves. Proctor put them over the 100 mark with three timely free throws in the final 3 5 seconds. Captain Dick Lynch was unable to see action in this contest being confined to his bed with a touch of flu. The Dowdmen proved that their earlier upset of the Camp Grant five was no accident as they again stopped the Army on its home floor by a 68 to 5 9 margin. The strange floor hampered the Dowdmen more than just a little in the opening half but they were able to start clicking in the second stanza. 128 Marty and Slattery again showed the way for the men from Loras. To keep in the swing of things and repeat performances especially, the Duhawks pulled a repeat on Simpson here by a 64 to 47 count clinching victory. One of the finest basketball teams in the nation again dropped the Duhawks from the Victory trail. Marty and McNally showed the way in this title as the Iowa Seahawks stopped the Loras cagers by a 64 to 40 margin. The story might have been reversed or at least been a might closer but for the fact that starting forward Mick Marty was injured in the first half of this contest. All-American Ralph Vaughan led the Skyers as he dumped in 17 markers. Proctor led the Duhawks with 11 points. The Sea- hawks again dropped the Loras cagers on the Loras floor by a 59 to 43 margin. The added height of the Navy squad proved too much for the Duhawks under the basket as did the long shots of the afore¬ mentioned Mr. Vaughan. Central and Wartburg again found the Duhawks too much as they again went down fighting 67 to 5 1 and 71 to 3 5. The Dowdmen thus kept their loop record unblemished as they finished a perfect con¬ ference season. The Conference Champions placed three men on the mythical All-Conference first five. Captain Dick Lvnch, Micky Marty and George Mc¬ Nally were given first string berths while Proctor, Moran, Knipschield and Slattery were given honorable mention for their efforts. The post-season tournament at Kansas City proved to be another almost for the Dowdmen. They prompt¬ ly took the opening contest from a strong eastern team. Panzer of New Jersey, by a 5 7 to 43 margin but were eliminated in the second round by the South¬ ern Illinois Normal quintet in a tightly fought con¬ test, 5 8 to 5 5. This game, as were many of the Loras losses, was lost at the free throw line. The Normal five then proceeded to go on and take the tournament. This same thing happened to the Du¬ hawks at the Indiana tournament of last year. The team they lost to proved to be the best in the our- nc y. Thus a final blaze of glory ended the season tor the Iowa Conference Champions, the Loras Col¬ lege Duhawks. I2!i INTRAMURALS BASKETBALL 5 DAY DOG CHAMPS Lef to Rif’ jt: Brcitbach, Vocls, Coach Maloney, Hallahan, Schnorenberg and Vcrt bcr � cr. Missiu} : Kisslin � and Hieberger. Loras intramurals again came to the fore in a big way this year. With the return of the varsity football campaign in the fall, things were just a little slow getting under way. The intramural football league was not what it had been in the past but with the coming of the cage season things began to happen. Al Moose Schramm, former director of athletics and assistant foot¬ ball coach, was discharged from the Army. Al came back to his old position as director of intramurals and immediately reorganized the set up to form a new and better league. The cage season went smoothly with a great number of the students, both boarders and day students, being represented in the league. The Whiz Kids, flashy day student five, proved to be the best in the league but not after more than just a little trouble from such teams as the Gophers, led by the league s leading scorer, Bob Cox, and the Jeeps led by Tom Keating and Bob Ferring. The final elimination tourney ended with the Whiz Kids on top and with three men on the All-tournament five. The mythical first five had Tom Keating of the Jeeps and Bob Cox of the Gophers at the forwards and Paul Schnorenberg of the Whiz Kids at center. John Kissling of the Whiz Kids and Henry Spaulding of the Maryknollers were at the guard positions. While the cage tourney was yet in progress the other men were work¬ ing out on the alleys in preparation for the bowling k:lassic of the year. The faculty and the students alike were participating in the event with the faculty the heavy favorites to win top honors. The Badgers led by Wayne Knipschield and Ray Braun not to mention Bob Anderson and Steve Slattery were the heavy favorites among the stii- Nicc c.ucli I d. 180 BOWLING LORAS BOWLING VICTORS Roll, C. Scark, Isliii, Lcunbcrgcr, Wollcs and Huss. dent teams. Close behind t he Badgers came the Blitzes led by Bob ' 2 5 3” Ferring and Frank Perry with Bill Greener, Bob Jackson and George Mc- Nailly supplying the support. The tournament as usual had one or more dark horses but in true fictional fashion the dark horses not only caused their share of trouble for the favorites but won the event. The Rockets led by Charlie Stark took the top honors. Sporting the largest handicap in the league they took all comers largely by virtue of this fact. Stark, Koll, Wolles, Ishii and Leuenberg made up the Rockets’ championship squad. Charlie Stark further aided the Rockets’ cause with a 214 final game of the scries for the Championship against the Badgers. Ping-pong too had its day as the men in school turned out in force only to sec Carl Ottavi and George Finkenauer take all comers to end up in a thrilling finals match. George proved too much for Cuz as he out-drove and out-served him to take the crown in three straight games. A free throw contest attracted more students than any other of the many activities that Director Schramm provided to keep his charges busy. Bob Vocls and Rudy Hayden fought out a tie match of 22 out of a pos¬ sible 2 5 by going the full fifty route the second time. Voels came out on top with 42 out of the fifty while Hayden also put a few varsity men to shame as he sunk 40 of his shots for the second space spot. The advent of spring brought out the latent baseball instincts of the boys and leagues for both softball and hardball competition are well under way. This writing sees the league battling it out for top position but no statistics are available. The B,adgers again led by Wayne Knipschield and John Moran are again seeded favorites but some tough competition is pre¬ sent in the presence of the Seeds and the many day student teams that sport lineups of veterans both of the war and of the municipal baseball league of Dubuque. -131 TRACK 1 Wagner steps out. Loras College entered upon the track season with some misgivings. The squad was young and for the most part untried. There were none of the track veterans as of old to bolster the squad. The competition was to be just as tough as ever and the new squad had much wor kto do to live up to its standards. To find new talent to carry the thin-clads through the season an intra-class meet was held. The freshmen were looked to, to bring new talent to the fore. Talent did come largely in the person of Frank Jagiella who walked off with top honors in the meet. Frank copped 14 ' j points to lead the freshman class to victory. The coalition Junior-Senior squad took second place while the Sophomores trailed. Jim Schissel and Chuck l.bbert, also freshmen, showed up well in the meet as did upper classmen Fd Conroy and Matt Beeincr. The freshmen appeared to hold the edge in the field events also as Jagiella, Schramm and Meyer are doing well with the shot and discus as well as the javelin . The squad prepped for an impending match with Cornell College and later scheduled appearances. The squad was far from prewar strength but was eager and showed con¬ sistent time improvement in the dshes and distance races. The freshmen bore the brunt of the load and displayed more than enough ability to do so. The dash men were led by Jim Schissel and Wayne Knip- schield who have both turned in good times for the hun¬ dred and the 220. Frank Jagiella who won the hundred in the interclass meet also showed improvement in this event. The hurdlers were led by Fran Cianshirt, the only veteran of college competition in this event. Fiitz exhibited - 132 much of the form that carried him through last season and bettered his best time of the past season. Fran Cassidy, a veteran Loras Academy hurdler, also added his efforts to this department and lived up to his Academy rec¬ ord. Freshman Elmer Meyer came forward as another asset to this department. Elmer was the high hurdle specialist of the squad with others competing in the lows. The distances proved to be the greatest trouble for this year’s team. Matt Beelner was the only distance veteran left in school but was hampered by a bad ankle. His efforts improved considerably with the recuperation of the ankle. F ' d C ' onroy also came forth as a threat to the mile honors. Fie was in his first year of col¬ lege competition but had the spirit necessary to carry him through. The big news in this department was freshman Loras Maloney who copped top honors in the mile for his class in the inter-class meet. His time was far from record-breaking but his pace was steady. The outlook for the season rested almost en- tirelv with the Freshmen. They evidenced the spirit necessary to win but lacked the experi¬ ence so necessary for a successful track season. Lynch limbers up. Carbin on the hurdles. Knipschicld over the bar. 133 1 f An inrptyrn all activities. 134 LORAS COLLEGE DUBUQUE, lOW ' A 1946 Volume XVIII 135 SEPTEMBER CAMPUS LIFE A very unusual snap. T ypical.
