LORAS COLLEGE LIBRARY LORAS COLLEGE DUBUQUE, IA 52004-0178 nix 1 911 To the memory of the Reverend Aloysius Schmitt, priest of the Archdiocese of Dubuque and alumnus of Loras College, who, on December 7, 1941, while serving as chaplain in the United .-States Navy, died a hero’s death, the member tives of the fac fully and hu Yearbook On the tack on P own safety entrusted Catholic ch Unworth it we may ex and appreciation of us.

Through years of sunshine and years of shadow, successfully weathering many a storm and many a crisis, Loras Col¬ lege looks to the future, pursuing goals more lofty than the supernal reaches to which she has climbed in the past. Throughout the years she has been favored with instructors and administrators who have imbued Loras- men with the fine gold of the Holy Faith, who have realized the eminence of the mind and the immortality of the soul, who have trained the young men placed in their trust in the qualities essential to the Christian gentleman and scholar. Over the college which bears his name Bishop Loras raises his hand in solemn bene¬ diction, that what has gone before may continue to grow and prosper under the blessing of the Source of all knowledge, to Whom he dedicated his talents and life.

Football was back and the menacing shadow of a gruelling eight game schedule loomed in the background. To mold his 46 gridiron edition Head Coach Vince Dowd had 3 3 returning lettermcn, half of them return¬ ing veterans, and some 60 untried, untested and un¬ known newcomers to greet him. Assisting Dowd in piloting the squad were Ed Kopshever and Al Schramm. Chief Tutor Dowd was beginning his fifth season as the guiding hand behind Duhawk elevens. His previ¬ ous four seasons had been successful but this was to be the year of pigskin powerhouses throughout the coun¬ try. Dowd had probably his toughest assignment ahead. The selection of seven mules and four horsemen for the initial clash with South Dakota State was indeed a problem. To form the necessary stone walls were Paul Schramm, Bob Anderson, Bob Noel, Walt Laydcn, Tom Marcs and a host of other heavyweights. For ball tot¬ ing duty there were Mike Elliot, scat back extraordin¬ ary; the Wagner brothers, Ross and Bill, both noted speed merchants; Fritz Ganshirt and Wayne Knipschield back from 4 5 duty; Dick Mares, Dick Leonard, Don Dolphin, and John Naughton, all freshman aspirants. lm Pirn rson l.ml HI I I O’NEILL ( enter STIVE SLATTERY l.ml ART TRAUSCII ( i 11(11(1 BOB NOEL lind cjCofCtd V3 St. p n 3 ' IJniuerdilty fnige eighty-!our m Assistants Schramm and Kopshcvcr note strategy being pointed out South Dakota State was the opener. The first quar¬ ter saw little in the line of fireworks by either team. But as the minutes ticked off Knipshicld and Elliot cai- ried the Duhawks to pay dirt with the Jackrabbits quickly retaliating. At the halftime gun the score- board read Loras 7, South Dakota State 6. The second half brought a crescendo of action. The Dakota invaders quick!v tallied through the air and later added another touchdown, now it was 7-18. But in the closing minutes of the game, the do-oi-die Du¬ hawks narrowed the margin with Knipshicld filing a scoring pass. Loras quickly added two more points on a State safety. Then in the final minutes Knipper” pitched a strike to Bob Leonard who went to the two, plunging across from there on the next play just ahead of the gun. Loras had won, 2. -1 8 in a photo finish. The Dowd men ' s next foe was St. John’s of College- ville, Minnesota. This tussle was on foreign soil against one of the most powerful aggregations in the northern regions. With an afternoon of intercepted passes and fumbles the Duhawks were hamstrung by the Johnnies and lost, 27-0.

WAYNF KNIPSCHIELD Ihllk The Loras gridders next met their traditional rival St. Ambrose in a road” con¬ test. Ambrose had supersaturated power that day, no maneuver on the part of the Duhawks could stop the high geared Ambrosian machine which capitalized on a brace of fumbles and intercepted Loras passes to grind out a four touchdown halftime lead. Loras s sole touchdown in the final score, 27-6, was pounded across by Dick Leonard in the twilight minutes of the game. Although they tied Ambrose in first downs, ach having nine, it just wasn’t a Duhawk day. October 14 found a sell-out Dad’s Day crowd witness the second home game with St. Josephs this time as the foe. The Pumas had no intentions of allowing their two year string of victories to be broken and in this they were successful. The Lorasmen lacked the spark to move with only a few thrills being provided by the plucky twisting runs of Mike Elliot. Mike was the scat back who required a host of tacklers to be downed. This one went to St. Joseph’s, 13-0. HENRY DJCKERT Tackle JACK KOPSH!

It was homecoming for the Knights who didnt disap¬ point their supporters, shoving into the end zone once in sac i penot. lc lone tally came as a result of an aerial and ground assault led by the undeniable efforts of Elliot coupled with assistance from Slattery and Dolphin, who slipped across tiom the two. The final total was 27-7. Homecoming time came the weekend of October 2 5. The colors of nature about the campus were highlighted by hues of purple and gold for seventy-two hours. n that time the traditional dance, parade, and pep rally climaxed by the Sunday afternoon game came and went. The visitors were St. Mary’s Redmen who came, saw, and conquered a gallant Loras eleven. Battling at times on equal terms, the Redmen could not be stemmed and swarmed to four touchdowns while the Duhawks were unable to ctoss the twin strips. Once again the never-say-die Lorasmen tasted defeat, 26-0, DICK MARKS Buck fxiiic eighty-seven Mike Elliot ; ;es up in the air to pitch a long one downfiekl. The St. Thomas juggernaut rolled into the stadium on November 3. The Tommies unveiled a razzle dazzle attack that managed to penetrate the Du- hawks defense often enough to carry them to a 19-7 win. Loras vainly at¬ tempted to make their aerial game pay dividends with Dolphin doing a lot of the pitching. During most of the game the staunch efforts of the Loras- men held the invaders to a standstill and once again Mike Elliot proved a constant threat. In spite cf their spirit this one wasn t in the books. In their season’s finale the Duhawks entertained the strong Wheaton College eleven. While breaking out with sporadic surges down field, the Loras threats never materialized. A defense that at times looked brilliantly crumpled in spots, the wrong spots and the Crusaders punctured through to score. The towering line of Wheaton heavyweights couldn t be matched from an injury riddled Duhawk squad. While Elliot, Dolphin, and Ross Wagner had abbre¬ viated moments of individual glory, the Crusaders won 2 6-0. This game ran down the curtain of the ’46 gridiron season, a season which had few bright spots. RI V. DANIEL B. COYNE X orad ud St. CJL ec e l ige eighty-eight Dick Marcs is finally stopped by a liost of St. Mary ' s tacklcrs. The Loras gridiron picture was not without its better parts. The tortur- ous schedule was the result of Athletic Director Rev. Daniel Coyne’s efforts to provide the best competition available. Many of the myriads of small de¬ tails in providing pigskin features were solved also by him. Assistant Coaches Kopshever and Schramm labored long to iron out the flaws that appeared during the season. Kopshever was having his first season at Loras after a playing career at Notre Dame and on the mighty wartime Great Lakes teams. Schramm was back in the Loras tutoring fold after an absence while in service. In the player’s ranks there were standouts, Mike Elliot and his scath- ing runs; Bill O’Neill with his brilliant pivot plav; Bob Anderson, Paul Schramm, Walt Layden, Tom Mares, fine linemen all; Don Dolphin had an efficient flipper; Dick Mares and Dick Leonard and their hard-driving running. Always close by the sidelines was John Doc Kammcr, beloved campus figure and trainer for the squad. No more energetic Loras supporter could be found than Doc.” He was assisted by Student Manager John Saunders. JOHN Doc” KAMMER page eighty-nine Shout! ’till She £ch Athletic Director Fr.

SPRING SPORTS 0 0 0 0 9 0 A trio of sports, track, tennis and golf lined up for intercollegiate competition and a host of candi¬ dates reported for the training sessions which began the second week in March. All three squads were bolstered by new men as well as returning lettermen from other years. Spring football conditioning and practice drills also were held with Coach Wally From hart in the driver’s scat. Vince Dowd took charge of some 5 0 track hope¬ fuls. Three veterans in Matt Beelner, Elmer Meyer and Loras Maloney were back for the distance events while experienced Fritz Ganshirt could be counted on in the hurdles. Chuck Ebert and Frank Jagiella were returning lettermen in the high jump and weight events respectively. Dowd also had addi¬ tional talent in Jack Naughton, Dan Coppe and Eddie Uvodich as sprinters; Jack Stenson, Dick Brad- burn, and Ray Weis could handle the broad jump as well as the high jump; Pete Lynch and Bob Brandt were skilled in tossing the javelin. An eight meet card was arranged by Athletic Director Father Coyne. The Duhawks thinclads matched strides and leaps with Coe College, Cornell College and engaged in a Quadrangular Meet at Luther during April. In May the cindcrmen met St. Ambrose and Upper Iowa University at home while traveling to a Quadrangular Meet at Simpson. The latter match closed their season. T he Loras golf team was under the tutelage of Coach Lester M. Becker. Fie had a squad of 20 linksmen from which to chose. Don Palmer and Charlie Becker teed off as number one and two man respectively, with the other position being filled by other capable squad members, namely, Jim Walsh and Harry Fee. The Loras team met Iowa State Teachers, Platteville Mines, St. Ambrose, Platteville State Teachers, Wariburg, and Coe College in home and home duels. The Iowa Conference Meet at Dcs Moines was the climax of a successful season. The net squad possessed three returning veterans in Chris Fluhr, Gus Baker and Bud Meyer and were coached by the Rev. Robert McDonald. C. J. Bue- low, Arnic Kocster, and Vince Sticrman were the promising newcomers who completed the powerful tennis team. Both Fluhr and Buclow were excep¬ tional singles racketmcn and the duo of Meyer and Fluhr always turned in a blistering court game. The tennis schedule opened with Iowa State Teachers, one of the strongest net sqfiads in Iowa. Other opponents in tennis were Cornell, St. Am¬ brose, Luther, Platteville Teachers, Wartburg and Coe . The highlight of the season was the Iowa Conference Meet at Des Moines on May 16 .

GEORGE WEBER Winner of Intramural Tropliy. One of the major aspects in college life is the intramural sports. The 1946-47 year resulted in a record smashing season. Over 600 students enrolled in competitive contests. Al Schramm, Loras Intra¬ mural Director, presented an extensive schedule for the year including touch football, basketball, ten¬ nis, golf and hardball. Prom the opening of the program the Lorasmen have been clashing with each other for top berths in league play and tournaments. On Keane Field and in the Loras Gymn the spirit of competitive¬ ness and enthusiasm was sparked by all with a most successful year of intramurals. The lucky athlete who won the Intramural In¬ dividual Champion Trophy was George Weber. The trophy was awarded on the point system. Some of Weber’s performances were touch football, basket¬ ball, bowling, tennis and golf. Football The college intramural program got underway when over 300 students submitted a total of 21 teams to Director Schramm for a fast season of touch football. The gridiron clashes were held in the Rock Bowl during the noon hour. Teams such as the Smoothies, Cream Puffs and the Warhawks showed their opponents and the many spectators at the sidelines new styles of pasisng and touchdown running. It was the Bearsch that came out of the huddle on top at the end of the season. With the superb passing and running of Downey and Murphy the Bearsch copped top honors with 15 victories and no losses. 1 he last gridiron contest featured the undefeated Bearsch against a likewise undefeated Cream Puff a 8g rc 8 at ion which had been tied twice. In a bit¬ terly fought duel, the league winners stunned the strong contenders, 14-6. The game was the decisive battle for the championship; had the Bearsch lost the title would have gone to the Cream Puffs. Basketball When the time came for the baskets to be lowered and the bleachers to be set up in the gym over 3 50 Lorasmen, composing 34 teams had signed with Coach Schramm for the intramural basketball season. To limit confusion and competition two leagues were formed—the Senior League and the Frosh League. For many afternoons and nights the hardwood court was thre with the speed of ball handlers such as Cooke, Weber, Carlin, and Schramm. The stand¬ ings at the end of league play showed a two-way tie in both leagues. In the Senior League the Pot- knockers and the Squirrels shared the spotlight with 12 wins and two losses and in the Frosh League the Eagles and the Celtics matched each other by a total of 16 victories and one defeat. The Battle of Champions followed the league play with eight teams from each league. Emerging as In¬ tramural Champs was the Salts who defeated a hard to beat’ Fungi. Kemp, Terr.es and Breitbach starred the Salts to the rule of the Kingdom of Basketball by defeating tough fives as the Choplj, Celtics and the Tigers before meeting the Fungi in the finals. Intramural directors picked an All-Tournament team which consisted of Ahern, Celtics; O Neil, Delta Sigma; Kemp, Salts; Naughton, Fungi, and Corri¬ gan of the Tigers. These cagers had consistently led their teams in all-around play. However, the in¬ tramural games displayed an abundance of bucketball artists who were only a dribble behind these men. 9n Ira m urals fuijir one hit mi ret four It’s up and in during intramural play. Bowling The alleys wore kept loud and noisy by the intra¬ mural participators in scoring strikes and spares to display a strong field of contenders for the bowling honors. With over two hundred students taking part in the bowling activities a tournament was held to decide the top team. The Proprietors walked into the Loras lanes to clinch the title. Paced by experts Ray Weis and Larry Korback, the Proprietors de¬ feated such heavy favorites as the Jatos, Hawkeyes, Dungeoncers, Spares and the 99’ers. Ping Pong This indoor sport attracted a large number of enthusiastic paddlers throughout the year. The first semester champ was George Weber. But in the sec¬ ond semester Tom Nash, a newcomer, captured the title by defeating the former champ and such dan¬ gerous contenders as Jim Oberbroeckling, Dave Rainey, and Finkenhauer in the finals. In the horseshoe kingdom Paul Nora took an eight week tournament to be undisputed ruler. A second semester tourney is being held and Paul Nora is the favorite despite the threatening ring throwers Dow¬ ney, Paul McDonald and Louie Letko. In the doubles it’s Carpenter-McDonald and Weber-Lctko leading the parade. Spring Sports Over 400 students enrolled in the intramural con¬ tests offered by Director Schramm for the spring session. Softball was the spotlight with 19 teams entered to battle for top placings in two leagues. Favorites in the noon league were the Badgers who were loaded with talent consisting of Knipschield, Slattery, Moran, and McNally. But the fighting Lucas Boys and the Playboys are running the circuit for runs which gave the Badgers a difficult time. The Jatos, Mahdeds, and the Bearsch of the evening league were forecasted to lead that field for top honors. Hardball (league ball, some insist) kept pace with softball by bringing to Keane Field several fast playing nines. High rankers were the Mahdeds, Raid¬ ers, and the Badgers who claimed Lee Kane as the best” flinger on the campus. Kane sparked the Badgers not only from the mound but also with the stick on home plate. Volleyball attracted some 100 students in a big way. The Night Owls, Badgers, and the Bearsch were predicted to come out on top as the Big Three. And Loras has its share of Don Budges and Bill Tildens. In the tournament that was held this spring Ted Beaves, Bill Salscheider, Arnie Koester, and George Meyer were the expected leaders in the intramural contests wchih were played off in the form of an elimination tournament. J Uu„,uU frag one hundred fire Off to a slow start but finally underway was the hand¬ ball tourney. The Duhawks with the toughest hands were Weber, Wareham, Letko and Bob Downey. Letko-Weber and Wareham-Bnnsko were the standouts in the doubles. On the greens it was Ed O’Connell, John Kane, Bob Keegan and Jerry Fisher who teed off to finish the 18 holes in the competition to capture the golfdom title. Let by George Stenson’s 17 3 points, the Loras Sad Sacks copped the 1947 intramural track meet on the Du- hawk cinder path by edging out three other contesting teams, the Vets, Olympics and Guilders Boys. Final re¬ sults showed the Sad Sacks far out in front with 5 0 points. Guilders Boys garnered 26, the Vets snagged IS and the Olympics picked up only 3. Placing for the Sad Sacks were Stenson, Ketoflf, Lynch, Budden, Simones, Wagner, Brandt and Nolan. Heading the list for the Guilders Boys were Gorman, Weber, Creighton, Adamson, Meyers, Coppe and Weis. Keeping the Vets in the running were Ebert, Proctor, Beelner and Jagiclla. The Olympics had only O’Connell in the point making column. Much credit for the excellent program of spring sports must go to Director Al Schramm. Coach Schramm also instructs the physical education classes in addition to hn duties as head of the intramural organiztiona. COACH AI.

The Loras Players undertook the immense taks of equipping the Loras stage for this great spectacle and likewise accepted the responsibility for the performance of the delicate . . . amusing . . . classic lines.

The Loras Players brought forth their last produc¬ tion of the season ... a modern morality play—by Andre Obey — NOAH.” Showing the weakness and foolishness of men in this, our world, Tom Hurm, long associated with the Loras stage, brought to life the biblical character in a clever handling of the leading part.

His ability in assuming a character flowed over the part of NOAH . . . and Hurm led the line of thought through channels where another might have failed. As an annual biblical play . . . NOAH succeeded through the deftness of the guiding char¬ acters of Tom Hurm and Mary Ann Kaep . . . flanked by a zestful supporting cast. out hint J id eighteen • • • p u r gol d The Loras Curia successfully completed its sixteenth year on the college campus. The Curia’s primary aim is to develop greater speaking ability in its members. Programs consisting of talks by guest and student speakers are presented weekly. These programs are both entertaining and educa¬ tional for the listeners. For its guest speaker, the Curia called upon the Reverend Francis Phelan, Chaplain at St. Joseph’s Mercy Flospital, Dubuque. Father Phelan deliv¬ ered an interesting and enlightening demonstra¬ tion of memory technique. The Reverend Kenneth Downing is the regu¬ lar moderator for the society. Due to his tem¬ porary absence, however, the Reverend Wilfred Kress acted in this capacity for the first semester of the school year, and Coach Wally Fromhart assumed these duties for the second semester. Officers for the organization are David Wheel¬ er, president; Walter Crowley, vice-president; Robert Wright, secretary-treasurer; William Tie- demann, parliamentarian; and Terrence Rooney, sergeant-at-arms. page one bnndred nine re, . . . p u r g o l d Senate Brown, Msgr. Brcvn, Rooney, Olinger. The Student Senate, composed of elected rep¬ resentatives from the student body and the head of each of the campus organizations, concluded its eighth and most productive year since incep¬ tion by a burst of legislative activity that resulted in the adoption of a number of long - sought measures. To more effectively fulfill its constitutional aims of crystalizing and making effective the views of the student body” by acting as a means of com¬ munication between the student body and the fac¬ ulty,” the group drafted a new constitution which put renewed emphasis on student government. At its first meeting in October, occasioned by circumstances that arose in the preparation for Homecoming, the Student Senate elected as its president, Terrence J. Rooney; vice-president, George Olinger; secretary, Darrell J. Brown. Following the enthusiastic adoption of its new constitution a rejuvenated Senate resolutely set to work upon the task of guiding a recoid enroll¬ ment of students. Jw e one hum!ret! tunity . . . p nr gol- d In a word, the aim of the Loras Fine Arts Guild is to promote interest in the fine arts among the students of Loras. This goal is re¬ alized in a number of ways. At one of the Guild’s two monthly meetings a guest artist is featured and at the other meeting student participation is encouraged by selecting mem¬ bers of the Guild itself to present some phase of one or more of the fine arts. In following this precedure, the members of the club have a chance to hear talks by guest speakers, thus broadening their contact with the arts through association with authorities in the various de¬ partments comprising the fine arts. The other meeting featuring student participation allows the members of the Guild to delve into the arts and thrill to the realization that they are approaching the great spirits which produced the world’s masterpieces of music, painting and drama.

Sealed: Gallagher, Father Barrett, Allegra, Hayck. The Delta Sigma is composed entirely of Loras students living ofl campus. Its pri¬ mary function is to provide an organized, collegiate social life for its members. During the war years the Delta Sigma lapsed into in¬ activity, but with the return of the students this year it once again became one of the most prominent organizations on the campus. Important dates on the Delta Sigma cal¬ endar included a Sunday afternoon matinee dance and an informal dance at the Knights of Columbus. The climax of the social year came with the Delta Sigma semi-formal Spring Prom held at the Loras Gym. Del Courtney provided the music, and appropriate decora¬ tions by the committee helped to make the event a thoroughly successful affair. The Rev. Norbcrt C. Barrett remained moderator for the year, and the committee included Chairman Ld Gallagher, Wes Hy- ack, Pete Allegra, John Saunders, Joe Cece, Gerry Werner, Bob Mulgrcw, and Paul Reyn¬ olds. pa.iir one hundred twenty-two . . . [) ii r gold The Loras College Band, under the di¬ rection of Mr. Vaughan Cayman, this year returned to pre-war size. The forty-five members supplied a wide spread of instru¬ mentation which made for a striking vari¬ ety of selections. Football games and the homecoming activities kept the band busy in the fall, and rehearsals were intensified even fur¬ ther in preparation for the annual Christ¬ mas Concert. Sprinkled before and after the concert were the basketball games at the gymnasium. In the spring an evening concert was arranged and presented in the Clarke College Auditorium. The spring intersquad football game provided the last athletic demand for the band. The brass choir made a repeat perform¬ ance this year at the special services hon¬ oring His Eminence Cardinal von Preysing. The entire band played for the cardinal as part of the program at which the corner¬ stone of Christ the King Chapel was blessed. The traditional finale, ' Tomp and Cir¬ cumstance, ” was played at graduation ex¬ ercises, fittingly concluding the successful musical year. futRC o n hum!i nl t u i uf three . . . p u r g o l d Vested Choir The Loras College Vested Choir this season successfully concluded its forty-second year —the ninth under its present director, the Rev. Emmet K. Kelly. As a vital part of the Solemn High Mass, the Vested Choir throughout the year not only gives added beauty to Church ceremon¬ ies but also arouses in members and non¬ members alike an appreciation of the music of the Church, especially of the Gregorian Chant. The time, energy, and talent required in its almost daily rehearsals is well repaid in the beauty and satisfaction it affords. Besides the regular Chapel services, the Vested Choir also prepared music for several special occasions, among them the visit of His Eminence Cardinal von Preysing, the Thirteen Hours Devotions, the patronal feast of St. Joseph, and the Palm Sunday services at the Cathedral. On March 31 , the Vested Choir joined with its congenial and capable organist. Lather Carman, in an Organ-Choir concert in which special emphasis was placed by the Chou on Lenten music. � « one Jut Hit nt unify-four . . . it r g o l d From April 30th to May 3rd, the Vested Choir made a short tour into Northeastern Iowa giving performances in Decorah, Osage, and Charles City. On May 5th they jour¬ neyed to Clinton for a full day at the Catho¬ lic College Music festival during which they combined with the Clarke College Glee Club in presenting parts of the Faure Requiem. Although the personnel of the Choir this year was relatively new, it was bolstered by the return from the service of many of its former members. To the members of the Schola particular mention is due for the additional time they spent in preparation for chanting the propers of the Mass as well as Gregorian hymns for use at the Offertory during Advent and Lent. The Choir Librarians for the year were William Anhalt and Merlin Andera. Paul McDonald acted as Secretary, and Paul Stei- mel as Sacristan and Representative in stu¬ dent functions. fxigc one hu nil � ( ' furufy fu i . . . p u r gold L! CONROY O! MASTERS R! 1)01 AN Cheerleaders In the matter of student pep Loras ranks sec¬ ond to no one. It is this student morale that in no small way encourages the splendid showings made by Loras teams. The cause of the students’ wholehearted co-operation with the team, and of the zealous personal interest which the Loras fans have felt in them during the past year is found in the five cheerleaders of Loras College: Eddie Conroy, head cheerleader, Vince Koehler, Terrance Rooney, Robert Dolan, and Don Mas¬ ters. The Rev. Norbert C. Barrett moderated the group. Eddie’s exuberant personality and ready smile brought valuable support at times when the cheers of the crowd seemed to pull the team to victory. Eddie is graduating this year with the class of ’47. Vince, already a tradition as one of the most enthusiastic cheerleaders ever to perform before Loras spectators, is a veteran of the past three years. His gymnastics and facial contortions never cease to delight the Loras section and draw envious looks from the opponents. Terry, a veteran of two years, displayed his ability as a real leader with loyal spirit. With his ear to ear’’ grin, Terry always managed to give all the local high school girls a thrill when he burst forth from the bench. Bob, coming back to the cheering group after spending two years in the service, filled the post he left admirably well. Bob is well known for his ability to get seats for certain ardent Loras followers. Don, a newcomer to this year’s squad, did a wonderful job in gaining added vocal support for the fighting Duhawks.

Clerics The Clerical Club, composed of all the Junior and Senior seminarians, remained nearly as large this year as it was during its peak year oi ’45-’46. The chief purpose of the club is to aid in foster¬ ing of the individual’s spiritual life. The Rev. Ernest P. Ament, spiritual director of the col¬ lege, is moderator of the group. Father Ament is confessor to the men, counselor in their prob¬ lems, and guide during their meditation periods. Since the Keane Hall chapel was moved tem¬ porarily to the north wing, accommodations proved inadequate for the increased enrollment of boarders. To cope with the situation, all chapel functions for the Clerics were held sep¬ arately from the rest of the student body. Mass was held at 6:15, and the meditation period formerly held in the evening immediately fol¬ lowed Mass. The Clerics also had Benediction on Sunday evening. A valuable addition was made to the curricu¬ lum for the Clerics in the formation of a Chant class under the supervision of the Rev. Emmet G. Kelly. This class aimed both at cultivating the vocal training of the men and training them in the official music of the Church, the Gre¬ gorian chant. On occasions throughout the year the Clerics chanted Sunday compline in Du¬ buque churches, and during Holy Week the Clerics, vested, partook in the services at the Cathedral, joining with the priests in the sanc¬ tuary, in the intonation of the liturgy. At the election held early in the fall, Harold Gavin, senior from Caledonia, Minnesota, was chosen president. Dick Ahern was elected vice- president and Tom Keating, secretary-treasurer. futfii ' out hnuihci! for } fire . . . pur gold During the past year the Loras unit of the Catholic Student Mission Crusade earnestly strived to live up to its ideal— to work and pray for the missions.” Under the leadership of Moderator Father Ament, the C. S. M. C. for the second consecutive year, through the annual Halloween Auction and the sale of re¬ freshments at football and basketball games, earned well over a thousand dollars. Students who contributed time and effort to the organization include Joseph Doyle, Jo¬ seph Crnkovic, William Wilkie, Norbert Con¬ nelly, William Anhalt, Richard Guise, John Kearns, Robert Nehrig, Raymond Obarowski, Robert Baudhuin, John King, Ronald Rieger, Gerald Fisher, M. E. Grady, Lawrence Dugas, John Carbin, Joseph Thul, Francis Bean, Robert CSMC Spalding, Bean, Doyle and Thul. Gies, George Weber, Paul Dupuis, and Daniel Szostak. C. S. M. C. member, Robert Baudhuin, es¬ tablished and organized the daily recitation of the Rosary in the college chapel. This devotion is attended by some forty students every day. The C. S. M. C. was presided over by Francis Bean. Joseph 1 hul was secretary-treasurer, and Joseph Doyle and Henry Spalding served as ac¬ tivity directors. itm hint Jr ei! oi y-v . . . . pur gold The Society of the Little Flower of Jesus was organized several years ago to foster a spe¬ cial devotion to the patroness of Vocations, St. Theresa of Lisieux. Since the aims of this society are entirely spiritual, words cannot measure the success or worth of the efforts of its members. The society leaves to the other organizations on the campus the social and the recreational activities and devotes its efforts to the veneration of the Little Flower. Keep ing in mind the promise of the Little Flower that she would spend her heaven doing good upon earth this group seeks her powerful inter¬ cession for themselves and their fellow students at Loras. Rogers, Guise, Mantcrnach and Morrison. Little Flower Under the guidance of its moderator and founder, the Very Rev. Arthur J. Breen, the Little Flower Society has enjoyed continual prosperity through all these years. Its present officers are: Albert V. Manternach, junior from Cascade, Iowa, President. Assisting him are: Thomas J. Morrison, Vice-President; Daniel J. Rogers, Secretary; and Richard R. Guise, Cus¬ todian. jui”c om hundred fur y-Miir . . . p u r g o l d j Standing : Steimcl and Brown.

Sodality The Loras College Sodality, by fostering a special devotion to the Blessed Virgin, endeavors to aid the individual to achieve personal holi¬ ness by inciting in him a fervor for benevolence and beneficence toward his neighbor. It also aims at arousing in its members a desire for the defense and propagation of the Church of Christ. In a temporal way projects arc pro¬ moted to achieve these spiritual objectives. The Sodality has in the past year motivated various projects and activities, among them the New Year’s Eve Watch Party, the Church Unity Octave remembrance, the Living Rosary, and the customary Christmas card sale which was the most successful thus far conducted. The anual banquet was held in May with all the speakers of the year as special guests. At the reception on December 8th, feast of the Immaculate Conception, 39 new members were received; at the May reception tour were ad¬ mitted to the group. This year’s Sodality was moderated by the Rev. Urban Churchill, who contributed untir¬ ingly to a fruitful year of activities. Clarence Frana served as prefect, Thomas Munn as vice¬ prefect, Darrell Brown as secretary, and Paul Steimcl as treasurer. ttifU’ one hundred furty-ei bt . . . p u r g ol d Ganshin, W ' indbacher and McCullough. Prayer Leaders The Maryknoll Club is comprised of pre¬ clerical students who have declared their inten¬ tion to join the foreign missions of the Mary¬ knoll Order. They are underclassmen who are preparing themselves for the strict rigors of foreign duty. The spirit of this exceptional organization is felt throughout the entire student body and his inspired many to join their fold. The Prayer Leaders, made up this year of Fritz Ganshirt, Pete Windbacher, and Bob McCul¬ lough, read the gospel during Lent and led the students in prayers each morning and evening. Their job demanded punctuality, precision and vocal strength. These men were appointed at the beginning of the school year by hr. Ament, spiritual director for all resident students.
