A ssistant Librarian P. c l liirtv iwn rafty men condemn studies ♦ simple men ad mire them ♦♦♦ wise men use- them, Francis Ricon enters DAVID M. WAREHAM President Dubuque, Iowa Economics One of the most versatile cage stars to perform on the Duhawk hardwood, Dave gained an enviable reputation. A gridiron stalwart likewise, he well merited the admiration and respect ot all who had the privilege of knowing him. His congenial per¬ sonality and winning smile will be sorely missed, for his friends arc legion. In addition to his athletic prowess, he managed to maintain a good scholastic record and found time to serve as prexy of his class. JAMES A. KOTT l ' ice-Prcsti ent Chicago, Illinois Education Ve think we unde a pretty good choice when c picked James Aloysius to represent us as our ' ice-president, for behind his naive mask this lad from Tim Buc Tu carries a full complement of [-,i ims and personality. His infectious grin, which freaks out every now and then from behind the lotids, has won him more friends thin Pepsodent customers. Jim is preparing for the priesthood for the LaCrosse Diocese. JAMES J. MURPHY Secret :™ Durand, Illinois History Jim was the musician of the north cell block on fourth. His talent on the organ and the piano edi¬ fied us as he presided at the console during his turn at Benediction. Between measures, Murf regulated his branch of the Sodality, and we elected him sec¬ retary of the Senior class. Jim is studying for the Rockford Diocese. RAYMOND P. WEIS T reasurer Austin, Minnesota History Ray led an exceptionally colorful career as a Loras- man. Behind the scenes of the Loras dramatics, as stage manager he saved many a production from dis_ aster. In the bowling alleys, he was a member ot the intramural champs while this last year he held the exalted position of proprietor of the bowling program. Ray is studying for the Winona Diocese, and in his spare time he excelled in tennis, basket¬ ball. golf and football (1945-46 squad). Page Thirty-three cniors ALBERT V. MANTERNACH Speaker Cascade, Iowa Philosophy Wheel” is Al ' s middle name. He’s head of the Third Order of St. Francis, president of the Student Senate, vice-president of the Clerical group and a member of Who’s Who”—to mention only a few. Mind you, these were all elective positions, so you know exactly how we feel about this personable vet. Al is studying for the Archdiocese of Dubuque. Oh yes, he is also our class speaker. Sorry we forget that, Al. ROGER J. SULLIVAN Student Senate Dubuque, Iowa English Sully, a promoter of many Loras curricular and extra-curricular activities, this year completed his philosophical studies for the Dubuque Archdiocese. Rog used his literary talent to advantage in the Lonan, the Purgold, and the Spokesman . which he edited in his junior year. Fie was a student manager, sacristan, vice-president of the I.F.T.A. and a con¬ sistent honor student. We elected him to Who s Who” and he helped represent us in the Student Senate. WALTER F. CROWLEY Student Senate Cedar Rapids. Iowa Philosophy A former Navy Air Corps pilot, Walt came to Loras in his sophomore year and quickly established himself as an outstanding scholar and leader. Presi¬ dent of the Clerical Society, vice-president of the Curia, and members of the Student Senate, Walt numbered many religious and student offices among his achievements. He is studying for the Dubuque Archdiocese. Walt was selected for Who ' s Who and won the fall intramural tennis tournament. TERRENCE J. ROONEY Student Senate Chicago, Illinois English Terry spent four popular and busy years as a Lorasman. Wheel in the student government world, he spent a momentous— if slightly controversial— year at the helm of the Student Senate and then represented us at the national convention of Ameri¬ can Colleges at Madison. Under his stimulus we joined that group. Terry also owned many other offices and held his own on the social side too. Page Ihiri four JAMES E. SCHERRMAN Student Senate Dycrsville, Iowa Mathematics There are so many things to say about this per¬ sonable home town boy who made good and so little space to say them. Affectionately known as the Dy- ersville Flash. Jim absolutely scintillated under Prof. McQuillan, but things seem always to have been ' ' Oh Kay with him from ’way back. He held down several class and organizational offices and swung a wicked golf club in season. If the transmission ever drops out of your jalopy on Highway 20, your best bet will be a certain car hospital in an unnamed village. ROBERT J. AMENT Anamosa, Iowa Philosophy After four years as one of the best-known and best-liked boarders at Loras. Bob took him this year to assume charge of the ushers as well as to lead us in morning and evening prayers. Bob is a cleric for the Dubuque Archdiocese and was elected sec¬ retary-treasurer of the Clerical Society. When not occupied with his duties, he usually could be found on the tennis courts or gazing dreamily at passing motorcycles. LEONARD H. ADAMS Turkey River, Iowa General Science Here is a flying enthusiast who was a promotci of the Hawks. Inc. He holds down the office of vice- president in the club and spends his spare time delivering, when not flying. An authority in the science field, Leonard is also a member of the So ciety for the Propagation of the Faith. JAMES A. BAKEWELL Lansing, Iowa History Now a law student at the LJniversity of Iowa, this historian distinguished himself here by a quiet manner which won him many friends and by main¬ taining a high scholastic record. He is an authority on various phases of American history, and will be¬ come an authority on matrimony shortly after gradu at ion. Pag.- Mum tiv enters LEO M. BALDWIN Wadena, Iowa Commerce Leo is the brief case wonder of the Commercial department. When it comes to intramural bowling, Leo is there urging his team to the utmost and adding up sizeable scores himself. ROBERT L. BRADY Belmond, Iowa History An Iowan who will continue his advanced studies in Southern California, Bob was an integral part ot the Navy from 19-43 to 1946. An agreeable stu¬ dent, California will discover in him a singular ac¬ quisition. CLETUS J. BARRINGTON Dubuque. Iowa Mathematics Clete has proved himself equally adept at han¬ dling a grease gun or a chem test, for while he was with us he helped manage one of the more out¬ standing drive-ins in the northern section of the city. A member of the Iowa Future Teachers Associa¬ tion, besides the Delta Sigmas and a member of re¬ ligious organizations, Clete will be a prof” next year somewhere in ye old Middle West. ROBERT E. BRANDT Clinton, Iowa Economics Wearer of the broadest smile at Loras and an eminent exponent of the equation of elaboration. Bob undoubtedly should someday occupy a senatorial seat in Washington. A former Navy man. Bob s capa¬ bilities acquired him the duties ot a social worker in the realm of the Dubuque Boys Club. Loras loses with the departure ot this 1948 A1 Smith, but the rest of the world will profit by his ingenuity. Page flurt six JOSEPH V. CECE Chicago. Illinois Biology Joe became famous on and off the college cam¬ pus not only as a football star, but also as a mu¬ sician with special emphasis on the accordian. Another student who took time out to be with the Armed Forces, he returned to his old alma mater to end his Liberal Arts career. FRANCIS J. DEMET Milwaukee. Wisconsin History One of the more active men about town who also displayed a profound power of concentration in the classroom and the library. Frank excelled in his major held of History and also was very deft in the linguistic arts. He was an ardent devotee of all intramural sports, being equally as skillful in handball as football. HERBERT C. DEGGENDORF Dubuque, Iowa Sociology Another of our own Dubuquers graduating this summer is Herb, who at one time in his career was in the Medical Corps attached to the Infantry While at Loras he has been particularly interested in Delta Sigma, anil he has made many friends. WILLIAM H. DESSEL Ossian, Iowa Chemistry Another of our native sons is this brilliant chem¬ istry student who came back to Loras after a long absence. In the held of extra-curricular activities he was most active in intramural sports, and found time to make a great number ot friends as well. Pige Thirty-seven cniors HENRY F. DEVINE LaCrosse, Wisconsin Accounting Perhaps the man most acquainted with the college itself is graduate f ’Hank.” For his tenure of duty here began ’way back in Ml, and re-commenced after a term in the Army. Prolific in figures, precise in graphs and perfected in the X’s and Y’s, ’ this con¬ genial accounting scholar plans to enter the mathe¬ matical field of commerce. Formerly a sage of Keane and Smyth Halls, his wisdom penetrated off-campus life in his senior year. ROBERT J. DOWNEY Chicago, Illinois Philosophy Sparking campus activities, this personality ot the ’’coat-and-tie Esquire man” has reflected true credit on his native city. Enthusiastic intramural performer, cog of social activities and target for Debs. Bob has gained a legion of admirers and friends during his years at Loras. A Navy veteran, Bob s ingenuity stimulated his election in earlier years to class vice¬ presidency. WILLIAM P. DEVINE Ryan, Iowa Philosophy Bill constantly edified his fellow students by his assiduous searching after knowledge, and outside the classroom claimed many friends for his quiet humor. A cleric for the Dubuque Archdiocese, Bill was a leading contender in the intramural program and sang in the Schola Gregoriana. EDMUND S. ELBERT Whittemore, Iowa Philosophy There was never a dull moment with Eddie about. His wit—as sharp as a double edged razor blade was the constant delight of his companions and the terror of the freshman inquisitions. Ed is studying for the Sioux City Diocese and divided his time between intramurals and philosophy. Page I ' liirt y-eight RICHARD C. FRANK Remscn, Iowa Philosophy Dick is one of the Sioux City clerics who trans¬ ferred to Loras this year from Trinity. Quiet and unassuming, Dick concentrated on his seminarian- ship, and his circle of friends knew him as an earnest and religious student, content to by-pass honors in favor of the enduring. PAUL E. FRY Cedarville, Illinois History Doctor” Fry was our consultant on every ache and pain, and his pharmacy of little pink pills—as well as his fatherly concern—helped most of us at one time or another through a particularly rough stretch of exams. When his ’’consultation room wasn ' t busy, Paul managed to keep his fingers nimble w ith the organ or his harp and to prepare himself as a cleric for the Rockford Diocese. LEO A. FROM MELT Elkader, Iowa Biology Abie ' s main claim to glory this year rests in his outstanding work as C.S.M.C. head, topped by a record-breaking auction sale. (Talk about dor¬ mant ability!) Leo is studying for the priesthood in the Dubuque Archdiocese, but comes the revohi non he plans on publishing his revealing treatise on the domestic life ot the tadpole, which has startled the biology department. DEAN D. GAFFNEY Waterloo, Iowa English Dean might be labeled the silent and somewhat studious type; a good listener who has proved un¬ relenting on his pursuit of an English major. He returned to Loras last year after completing a hitch in the Navy and seriously contemplates going on to school. Page Thirty-nine enters EDWARD J. GALLAGHER Waterloo, Iowa History Ed never did live down his freshman rashness when he swooned all Dubuqueland with his Frank Sinatra imitation. After returning from the service, his journalistic ability ranked him membership on the Loras publications, and when he left us at the semes¬ ter to go to law school, he ' d had an enviable reputa¬ tion as sports editor of the Lorian and honor student. REX R. GOGERTY Hubbard, Iowa English Rex, the King” of jovial journalists, is leaving behind him a record duplicated by few at Loras. His power of concentrating was the envy ot all. and coupled with his ability to be a regular on both the honor roll and class officer listing assures his suc¬ cess. Never a man to mince words, his opinions were clear, concise and heralded as the truth they conveyed. This terror of the pen and regular star in the social world is given our bid as the most likely to succeed. JOHN F. GANSHIRT Freeport. Illinois Chemistry Fritz rated a half-back position on the unde¬ feated football team this year, and his fan clubs both at Loras and neighboring institutions kept him commuting. In between times he found a few min¬ utes to study and pulled down high averages besides holding a number of class and organization offices. He also served as prayer leader, and was elected to Who’s Who.” JOHN E. GORMAN Manteno, Illinois Political Science Downtown John leaves our flock with seveial of his recognized imprints always to be remembered. Undoubtedly the best dressed man of Dubuque, his traits have established him in a variety of fields: X ho ' s Who,” speech contests, social committee, honor roll, ad infinitum. Historian, ex-Marine, crusader for civil rights, John will carry the Loras banner proudly into his field ot law, teaching oi politics. His success is inevitable. Vaec Fortv M. E. GRADY Monona, Iowa Sociology If ever there was a busy Lorasman, Ed was ir. Member of the editorial staffs of Loras publications, honor student, and mainstay of many student groups, Ed still was always willing to help us in our dilem¬ mas. We honored him by electing him to Who ' s Who. and because the E in Ed also stands for eflfi ciency, we know he ' ll be a success in his chosen profession as teacher. HUBERT M. HART Eagle Grove. Iowa Economics Hippo” describes him best as the aquatic type. Hardly a day goes by that Hippo” doesn ' t have a dip in the Y pool. Swimming must give him that build and that never lacking smile. Hubert is a member of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. GERALD A. GUTER Waverly, Iowa Chemistry Gerry ' s a quiet lad. but behind that deceptive ex¬ terior he packs unexpected potency. A licensed ham with his own short wave set, Gerry was the guiding spirit of the Loras Amateur Club. Gute” is a cleric for the Archdiocese of Dubuque, and during the Holy Week ceremonies at the Cathedral for a few glorious minutes he reigned as assistant director of the Schola Gregonana. CLETIJS J. HAWES Lansing. Iowa Philosophy Red hair doesn ' t always mean temper; in Clete ' s case it ' s the sign of an awful lot of determination —as his honor rating bears out. Clete is also a member of the Vested Choir and a philosopher par excellence. His constant loyalty has made him a very desirable friend, as well as his humor (which is still in the hopeful stage). He ' s studying for the Dubuque Archdiocese. Page Forty-one c mors ROBERT V. HERMAN Dubuque, Iowa Sociology There isn’t a more likeable fellow at Loras than Bob, nor a harder worker either. His genuine in¬ terest in people assures him success as a future prof, and who’ll forget that proud day last fall when Daddy passed out cigars? Robert Junior has his future already planned for him, too. BERNARD J. HOLTZ Edgewood, Iowa Biology Known on campus as a real student with definite abilities, Jack has been particularly interested in the work of Delta Sigma. He spent some time with the Army Air Corps, and at Loras has made numerous friends. Bernard is a member of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. JOHN O. HIRST Galena, Illinois History Definitely a big man on campus, Jack is finishing up this year with a very flattering average in his history major. He has been more than active on the Social and Decoration committees and is cer¬ tainly not an also ran” with regard to sports since he shows promise of going up in the coaching field in the near future. He also holds down his niche in the social realm. i. WILLIAM N. HOLZER Dubuque, Iowa Philosophy Bill subscribes to the theory that a few good friends are better than a lot of casual acquaintances, and lucky is the man he befriends. His scholastic leadership attests to his earnestness in preparing him¬ self for the priesthood in the Archdiocese of Du¬ buque. Tennis is Bill’s meat in the world of the intramurals. Pjge Forty-two CHARLES E. HUSS Royal, Iowa History For the past four years Charles Huss has been a very familiar and friendly figure around Keane Hall. He is a serious and conscientious student who has applied himself diligently to his course of studies. Still he has found time to devote his musical talents to the I oras Band. VINCENT L. HUTCHINS Zwingle, Iowa Biology Vince began his course of training at Loras Col¬ lege in January, 1945. He has pursued a science course and intends to continue studying for the medical profession. An avid pupil, a diligent stu¬ dent and an eager learner, Vince has asserted him¬ self in campus life as a pleasant companion and a tine friend. FRANK L. HUSS Royal, Iowa History What a voice! He will long be remembered for the work he has done with the Vested Choir, to which he has given his zealous support. Frank has carried a double load in Loras music by contributing his talents to the Band. A former on-campus man, he was outstanding in intramural sports, especially during his junior year. WILLIAM J. ISHII Seattle, Washington Biology With untold hours in the chemistry lab to his credit and the mastery of German as a definite as¬ set, Bill has set his sights high for the future. He can be described as a friendly guy who can always be counted on in a pinch. Those experimental white mice Bill has for his Biology major gave this scient¬ ist no end of trouble, but he finally won out. Page Forty-three enters E. WILLIAM JEWELL Dubuque, Iowa General Science He was here; now he is gone. But before he left he found time to gain an enviable reputation in in the field of the sciences. Bill served in the Navy during the war. He is also a member of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. JACK R. KEARNS Fort Dodge, Iowa Education Jack, a returned veteran who is studying tor the Sioux City Diocese, possesses some formula as yet unrevealed — for how to remain cool and calm during examinations. While the rest ot us developed a bad case of nerves, his room was an oasis ot imperturb¬ ability (whew!). His ready smile won him a host ot friends. JOSEPH E. KAPLER Cresco, Iowa Biology Here’s stiff competition on the bowling alleys, for Joe averages around 165. With his likeable person¬ ality, good looks and especially his ability to whip up a mouth-watering meal on short order, Joe has had trouble dodging the local talent, but so far he ' s been able to devote himself whole-heartedly to the lab in preparation for his medical career. DELOS F. KEMP Dubuque, Iowa Mathematics After studying two years at St. Mary s in Winona, Minnesota, Delos returned to Dubuque and came back to Loras to continue his work toward his de¬ gree. In the two years that he has been here he has made himself conspicuous because ot his prowess on the intramural basketball tloor. Delos is also a member ot the C.S.M.C. Page Forty-four EUGENE V. KENNEDY LcMars, Iowa Philosophy Gene also answers to Ed, which is confusing in itsclL Another transferee from Trinity College who is studying for the Sioux City Diocese, Gene (or Ed) had us all mixed up tor the first couple of weeks, hut when he finally straightened out things, we were proud to call him buddy. He is a member of the band (traps, too) and the Clerical Society and sang m the N ested Choir and the Schola Gregoriana. ANTHONY A. KJELLGREN Rockford, Illinois Science For the past two years Tony has been a distin¬ guished figure around the campus, a man of unceas¬ ing industry and application. He is noted chiefly for his sly wit. his punctuality, and his wild and unique haircuts. Tony is a member of the Monogram Club and the Society for the Propagation of the Faith. ROBERT J. KIRSCHBAUM Terre Haute, Indiana Philosophy A hard man to handle on the hardwood court. Bob also wields a mean tennis racket. He was an indispensable cog in the stage crew of the Loras Dramatics Club and spent two years satisfying ap¬ petites as a waiter at St. Francis . And who hasn ' t noticed a certain usher making his mark in the Loras gym? Bob is preparing for the Sioux City Diocese. WILLIAM J. KLEIN Dubuque, Iowa Mathematics The mathematician with the curly hair and a keen interest in bowling and pool. In h.s spare time he manages the Klein Tavern on Central Avenue. Bill plans on doing graduate work in the held ot matl.e matics next year at Iowa State College. Page Forty-five enters WAYNE J. KNIPSCHIELD Madison, Wisconsin Education Exactly what hasn ' t this Madison lad done during his four year stretch? He was star of the Duhawk team in 45 when it won the Iowa Conference basket¬ ball trophy, he outguessed and outdanced many an opponent on the football field, he was president of the class in his sophomore year—the list goes on and on. It ' s enough just to say that the old Knipper” is tops with every Lorasman. He s a great guy. JOHN K. KOPSHEVER Chicago, Illinois Education Jack is dexterous in expressing his views about edu¬ cation. philosophy, or sports. He seldom missed a college dance and his loyalty to the home town is indefatigable. Jack is another exponent of the art of coaching and hopes to make a name for himself m that field. 1 LAWRENCE N. KORBACK Spring Green, Wisconsin Philosophy Talk about your raconteurs, Larry can beat the best of them with his famous sea stories. That ' s about what happened, he ' ll say in defense, and as long as he enjoys telling them as much as we enjoy listening to them (as long as the salt shaker is handy), we’re happy. His forte lies in his practical applications of speculative philosophy, which may come in handy some day, since he s studying for the Madison Diocese. CLETUS E. KRAEMF.R Spring Green, Wisconsin History Clete left us at the semester to teach, and we can only hope that all the griping we did about some of our profs may have been of some little help to him. Clete is another one of those deceptive fel¬ lows who don ' t say too much but do a lot of work with their little grey cells. Best of luck in yout career, Clete, and don ' t be too rough on the guys and gals. P.ige loriv •. k ROBERT M. KUBLY Madison, Wisconsin French Bob occupies somewhat of a unique position among us; we all take turns consoling him after the philosophy papers are returned. But about a week later the clouds begin to disperse, and we know that it ' s safe once again to kid ' ' him about his beat-up hat or that lost battle of the bulge. Down deep Bob ' s a wonderful guy seriously preparing him¬ self for the Benedictines. BRUNO H. LENSING Fort Atkinson, Iowa Sociology Bruno started his college life in Jan., 19 43. as one of the accelerati. His sojourn at Loras was halted by the war until 19 46 when residence was again taken up in Dubuque. Bruno says that he has a special interest in ladies, and what could be more appropriate with a major in Sociology? The future at present is undecided. MARTIN T. LALJGHLIN Indianapolis, Indiana English This member of the Clerical Society and Socie jor the Propagation of the Faith has led an acti hfe at Loras and has made many friends, for he liked by all. At one time he was with the Lor Players as a member of the stage crew, and durir his senior year was a singer in the great Scho Gregoriana. JOHN F. LENZ Ellsworth, Minnesota Education Since he began to jerk sodas m a nearby foun tain, John has become to the ' day dogs what he was to the boarders in his first three years—the man to ask when we want a favor. John switched his major in the middle of his college career, and the books have pretty well tied him down since then. P.igc Forty seven eniors ANTHONY J. LEONI Oak Park, Illiniis General Science Tony has been a busy member of the Loras stu¬ dent body since February, 1945. He has worked tirelessly since that time to obtain his degree. In spite of his hard work he has kept aside time to continue his piano playing, an art at which he is a past master, and to be a member of the Radio Club. Tony is also a member of the Propagation of the Faith Society. JAMES J. McBRIDE Farley, Iowa Economics After a certain Clarkite had perused last year ' s Purfiold. she came out with the verdict that a cer¬ tain J. J. McBride was the most handsome man at Loras. We shudder to think what would have hap¬ pened had he given out with a bit of that ole per¬ sonality. An active member of the Curia, the Sodality and the C.S.M.C., Jim says he’s particularly proud of his economics major. RICHARD J. LEUENBERGER Ossian, Iowa Mathematics In this corner we have the friendly easy-going sort a fellow who is ever ready with a cordial hello ” Never neglecting his hooks, he is taking his degree in mathematics.

McCarthy Benton, Wisconsin Accounting Frank, a Navy veteran, isn ' t the biggest man at Loras, which brings up that old saying about little packages. And Frank seems to bear it out. He roomed at Keane for three years and now is giving the ofT-campus boys a chance at him. Since he switched his major Frank has been engrossed with figures, which means he ' s kept his head buried deep in his major subject accounting. Page furry-eight DONALD G.

MACKIN New York, New York English Jim, the fighting Irishman from ’way out East, in his years at Loras College has managed to be¬ come a part of the institution.

NEVILLE Chicago, Illinois Philosophy Tom came to us in his junior year alter serving in the Army in the South Pacific, and became the mystic, the philosopher and the fresh air fiend (this from his roommate) of the senior class. His pipes, flashing smile and fire-engine red tennis togs were his trademarks, while his outstanding wo rk as So dality prexy promises great things in his future work in the Rockford Diocese. ROBERT J. MULGREW Dubuque, Iowa Economics This young man has been a familiar figure on the campus for many years, having begun his college career in 1941; in 1943 he left to enter the Army and then returned. He has been a spirited asset to more than one college activity, and could be seen driving his Dodge coupe to gala Loras social func¬ tions. P. JOSEPH NOONEY Sioux City, Iowa Philosophy Joe was the live wire among his fellow Trinity transferees, and when he let go with that infectious laugh, he had us all rolling in the aisles (particu¬ larly during a certain Latin Con class). In his club room on third occurred many an episode wait¬ ing to be told years hence over cigars in some rec- rory in the Sioux City Diocese. Pagi fifty tw JOHN E. O’CONNELL Waterloo, Iowa English This former Navy man was a member of the Loras Players lor two seasons, and in his senior year became vice-president of the Mixed Chorus, in which he helped a good musical organizaton to be¬ come better.

Per¬ haps his best ability has been shown on the golf links where he has stimulated Loras to innumerable vic¬ tories by his experience as Dubuque city golf cham¬ pion. GEORGE J O’DONNELL Chicago, III inois Economics Leaving Loras with the ’48 class is one of our great connoisseurs of the mystics of erratic com¬ merce.

EUGENE J. PAUL Fort Dodge, Iowa Philosophy Gene was with us as a freshman and when he re¬ turned this year from Trinity, he reactivated the Dominican tertiaries with ardent zeal. Room 430K became the headquarters for the fourth floor cor ridor, and the momentous problems of the dav were settled there between pieces of cake and cups of brewing coffee. His list of activities were certainly impressive: Sodality, Choir. Student Senate. C.S.M.C and Little Mower Society besides being a member of the Clerical Society. Page Fifty-three eniors PATRICK T. PHALEN Mason City, Iowa Biology A direct heritage of Erin ' s Isle, P.T. is another of the select few who have gone the fifteen round limit successfully with the Loras pre-medic society. Not an easy battle, but this dauntless Irishman de¬ feated the skeletons and chemicals of Hennessey Hall. Also, Pat ranks with the best in dress and groom—undoubtedly he gave much business to the merchants of Dubuque. Whether his goal of sci¬ ence is continued or whether he seek interests else¬ where the success of this Irish tenor will be high. PAUL J. PINK Newton, Iowa English Cheerful advice and a warm, friendly smile have become associated with Paul Pink.

RHOMBERG Dubuque, Iowa Philosophy Tom nearly fell into pantheism while trying to prove to the satisfaction of his fellow thcociphists that God is pure act because He is infinitely perfect, but just the same he still is a popular guy with us, and more than once we ' ve watched him purr past Keane on his motorcycle or new Studebaker with a tinge of envy. ARTHUR J. ROTH Dubuque, Iowa Biology A transferee to Loras from William and Mary and University of Iowa, Art made up for lost time by whizzing through college on an accelerated basis, and still held the coveted rating of honor student.

He was one of the top men in intramural sports, an usher par ex¬ cellence, and he and Nancy ruled supreme for Home¬ coming. JOHN W. RYAN Waukon, Iowa Chemistry Things light up for John. Live wire in the de¬ partment of electricity, he often shocked us, but when we found he could diagnose a dead radio tube before rigor mortis set in, we were in there plugging for him. The current Watson Volts medal for extraordinary service in the line of duty was presented John by his grateful customers but was recinded the following day after a still-unexplained explosion in the chem lab.

Urb” devoted much of his efficiency method to the study of his major field, economics. Everyone knows that all his exercises were typewritten but he didn ' t type them himself. Marriage certainly is a great in¬ stitution. PAUL J. SCHRAMM Freeport, Illinois Education Quiet and unassuming, the smiling personality of this rock of Gibralter could not be bound to limi¬ tation. For his geniality, generosity anti versatility has not been confined to the field of athletics but rather has spread to various other regions of campus life. A bulwark in the grid line, a stellar cage per¬ former, Paul anticipates the coaching profession fol¬ lowing the path of brother Al. An Army veteran of high quality, Paul will be missed in the realm of purple and gold activities. GEORGE C. SCHLEGEL Dubuque, Iowa English The Hemingway of Loras College” is a very apt description because of Georges prolific and vivid penwork He was active in all branches of school publications and took his English degree with honors A very imaginative man with a definite gift in the use of words. PAUL T. STEIMEL Waterloo, Iowa History Paul s major contribution to Loras during his four year tenure hinged on his work as an indispensible cog in the tenor section of the Vested Choir.

He participated in intramural sports and displayed no mean ability on the basketball floor. Art is a mem¬ ber of the C.S.M.C. FRANCIS SKOPEC Mason City, Iowa General Science Loras proudly presents to the medical world this small dynamo of dynamic brilliance. Small in sta¬ ture but massive in mentality, the unceasing activity of this 4S Pasteur is unparalleled in our vicinity. His vision has traveled through a microscope more than through the atmosphere surrounding him. However, he doesn ' t confine himself to a lab only —his mastery of wit. humor and legion of friends will also aid in promoting this piercing personality in the world. PETER J. LYNCH Dubuque, Iowa Philosophy Among the many athletes who have made Loras famous, none has gained more fame and friends than Pete. He excelled in track as well as in bas¬ ketball, but his good work was by no means limited to these fields. His scholastic ability has been enviable. GEORGE OLINGER Aurora, Illinois Chemistry Here is another of those ambiable Aurora lads who, although pursuing a major in chemistry, easily held up his end of the intramural sports parade.

STUDENT SENATE The Student Senate, activated nine years ago through the efforts of its moderator, the Very Rev. Msgr. A. J. Breen, completed a very active year. The Senate is com¬ posed of elected representatives from the student body and heads of each of the campus organizations including the presi¬ dents of the four classes. 1 o further its aims “of crystallizing and making effective the views of the student body” whom they represent, the Student Senate this year became affiliated with two national student groups. In order to ac¬ quaint Lorasmen with the interests and problems of students generally they joined the National Student Association. The Senate also became associated with the National Federation of Catholic College Students so to become better acquainted and more familiar with fellow Catholic College students.

CURIA Tin Loras College Curia, with its un¬ usual programs permeating and imbuing the personalities of its members, enjoyed its seventeenth year of prosperity. In¬ creased activity was attained in the wel¬ come return of the moderator, dexterous Father J. Kenneth Downing, whose advice and suggestions were enthusiastically re¬ ceived. f he four scholastic classes are repre¬ sented in this organization which aims at Page Ninety-two developing a greater facility in public speaking. Meetings are conducted accord¬ ing to parliamentary law and combine en¬ joyment with instruction in the presenta¬ tion of their programs. They may consist in discussions, debates, or speeches given by the members or by an occasional guest. The annual highlight culminating the year’s activity is the outing at Eagle Point where a full day of fun is climaxed by a prodigious evening meal. L The Delta Sigma is- the onlv organization of Loras whose membership is limited strictly to off campus students, and was founded to provide social entertainment for the day students. Cars, nights, and availability make the members extremely popular with Dubuque ' s opposite sex. as they gather individually and collectively for extramural functions. This school year two dances and a Christmas Party have been sponsored, in addition to the Second Annual Delta Sig¬ ma Dance which was held in early spring and which featured an outstanding M.C.A. band. Spiritual life was not neglected in over¬ enthusiasm for an active social life due to the energetic work of committee man Leo King who spent much time assisting Msgr. Howell in organizing retreats at New Mel- larv Monastery for the group ' s members. DELTA SIGMA Seated: Roger Rhomberg, Chairman Gordon Werner, Leo King. Standing: Jack Dalton, Bill Ward, Mike Elliott. Mr. Johannsen and Msgr. Breen. Joe Stieber. lecturer. Ed Grady, Bob Herman, Mr. Slechticky. Successfully concluding its first year, the Loras Chapter of the Iowa Future Teach¬ ers Association, comprised of students pre¬ paring for the teaching profession, was formed last fall. Its purposes are “to stim¬ ulate growth of the highest ideals of pro¬ fessional relations, to study the organiza¬ tion and activities of professional associa¬ tions and to develop professional attitudes.” Student panel discussions, studies and projects constituted the monthly meetings Several prominent speakers were featured, among them Mr. W.

The group participated in regional and state educational activities. Rogers was elected vice-president of the Northeast Re¬ gion of the I FTA and was a member of the State Board of Directors. Officers for 1947-’48 were: A. J. Slech¬ ticky, faculty advisor; Daniel J. Rogers, president;; Roger J. Sullivan, vice-presi¬ dent; Albert V. Manternach, secretary; James A. Klott, treasurer; and M.

Mark McCarten, vice-president; William Wilkie, secretary; Dan Rogers, president: Peter Florino, treasurer. The members of the Loras Fine Arts Guild have a common realization that an important phase in every education should he devoted to the understanding and ap¬ preciation of the world’s masterpieces of music, painting and literature. Hence in¬ terest in the arts is promoted by enjoyable and educational discussions. Each member is encouraged to investi¬ gate various aspects of the fine arts and to present his findings at the semi-monthly meetings. The added attraction of an oe- cational guest speaker inspires and pro¬ motes further studv in these fields. This year the organization endeavored to add to its accomplishments a publica¬ tion of various lectures delivered at its meetings by guest speakers and student members. This publication under the offi¬ cial title of The Guild met with consider¬ able success. The Fine Arts Guild hopes these issues will continue annually to pro¬ vide enlightening and informative material for those interested. Since its organization two years ago, the Rev. Wm. Most has served as the Guild ' s able advisor. Officers for the past year have been Daniel J. Rogers, president; Mark E. McCarten, vice-president; William E. Wilkie, secretary; and Peter J. Florino, treasurer. Music Art Lecturing P.ige Niiuuv-fivc Social and Decorations Committees Social Committee Spotlighting the 1947-48 Loras social season were the three campus dances sponsored by the Social Committee. The peak in entertainment was reached when the nationally known dance orchestra of Benny Strong was engaged for the Spring Prom, and this semi-formal affair proved to he the most elaborate social event of the vear. A record Homecoming dance set the note dur¬ ing the football season, and it was followed quickly by the pre-Thanksgiving get-together, presented with the traditional holiday theme. Hie initial “on campus” mixer in the new Chapel assembly proved to be such a success that it prompted the committee to sponsor sev¬ eral post-Lenten parties.

They were summoned periodically to transform the field-house from just a gymnasium to a brilliant dance floor or to whatever the occasion de¬ manded The group worked under the direction of Monsignor A. J. Breen. It created charming themes for the Homecoming Dance, the Har¬ vest Dance, the Dedication Ceremonies of Christ the King Chapel, and the Spring Prom.

Guter md J)ost;iJ RADIO CLUB The purpose of the Loras Radio Chib now in its second year is to teach its members basic- radio theory and International Code. After a member has had sufficient training, he goes before the examining board of the Federal Communications Commission and upon suc¬ cessful completion of the examination is issued an operator’s license. At present the club has four licensed operators. The radio transmitters are located in the “radio shack” on the second floor of the gym¬ nasium. To date, radio contacts have been made with California, Maine, Florida, and many other states and also with several Ca¬ nadian provinces. Our radio club is non-commercial, strictly a hobby. In case of a local or national emer¬ gency, it may be called upon to assist in emergencv communications. The Loras Amateur Radio Club is asso¬ ciated with other radio organizations: Ameri¬ can Radio Relay League, which represents the total “amateur radio operator” population of the United States, and the “Iowa Emer¬ gency Net.” The club is also a member of the Midwest College Roundtable composed of college radio clubs. This group meets weekly over the air, and may discuss anything. Bill Dostal served as President of the group and Gerry Guter was the group’s vice- president and secretary-treasurer. • iM ' Ci Ilf The Loras College Camera Club is one of the newest organizations on the campus. It was horn early in the October of 1947 under the able direction of the Reverend William G. Most. The aim of this club is to aid and benefit by mutual cooperation those Lorasmen inter¬ ested in photography and to increase their knowledge of photography by advancing it as a science and an art. During the few short months in which this club has been active it has obtained a fully equipped darkroom thereby giving all mem¬ bers the advantage of learning photographic darkroom technique. At several of the regu¬ lar meetings there were presented illustrated lectures as prescribed by the Eastman Kodak Co. A 40-minute color film shown depicted the history and principles of Color Photo¬ graphy. The most successful year reached its zenith with a print exhibition open to the entire college.

MONOGRAM CLUB Last fall, all Loras athletes who had previ¬ ously earned an “L” monogram for active par¬ ticipation in one or more major sports met and reorganized the club. The Rev. John C. Sims is the able Moderator of this group which strives to foster good will among present members and alumni athletes, to maintain high ideals of good sportsmanship and fair play, and to award the coveted “L” to all qualified. The club sponsored several social functions at intervals throughout the year and its mem¬ bers were called upon to assist the ushers at a number of school functions commanding a ca¬ pacity crowd. A smoker was held in honor of Coach Wally Fromhart and his 1947 undefeated-untied grid eleven at the completion of so highly a success¬ ful season. At the time all men who had won their first “L” were formally initiated into the organization. Members elected William R. O’Neill as presi¬ dent; Michael M. Elliott, vice-president; and John J. Saunders, secretary-treasurer. Standing, left to right: George Meyer, tennis; Jim Nolan, track; Don Pal¬ mer, golf.

A former student attending one of the bonfire pep rallies before a game remarked, “There is more school spirit here than 1 have ever seen before.” Behind that gratifying expression lies the work of the Cheerleaders of Loras College. Vince Koehler, head cheerleader, Robert Dolan, Terry Rooney, Bob Oanes, Gene O’Con¬ nell and pep rally master, Dick George, under the experienced moderation of the Rev. Norbert C. Bar¬ rett, certainly deserve the students ' vote of apprecia¬ tion for a job well done. Kenosha, Wisconsin can well be proud of Vince Koehler and the fine job he has done in the past four years of cheerleading at Loras. Vince literally puts his all into his work. Terry Rooney, a veteran of three years, is enthusi¬ astic, handsome and overflowing with school spirit. The spark of the group, Terry completes his educa¬ tion this year. Bob Dolan ' s likeable manner plus a good voice cer¬ tainly qualify him among the best. Bob has that something special which enables him to instill the spirit ot the game into the crowd. Two newcomers to this year ' s squad are Bob Oanes and Gene O ' Connell. They complete the backbone of a fighting school spirit. Both Bob and Gene can look backward to a successful year and forward to an honored tradition. It takes a big man for a big job and that just fills the hill for Dick George. Dick ' s fine job will echo praises for many a year. Gene O ' Connell, Vince Koehler, Bob Oanes.

HAWKS 1 he original incentive for the formation of a Loras Flying Club was a notice posted on the bulletin board by the National Intercollegiate Flying Club offering advice and suggestions on how to organize and operate a flying club. Next came a series of meetings with those lei lows interested, during which time, the group dwindled down from 50 to 19 aeronautically- minded young men. After much discussion, we all finally agreed on the general provisions of the club. We would buy a used Piper Cub airplane for approximately $1200.00 which would invoke the payment ol $60.00 by each member and would thus constitute a share. When a mem¬ ber left the club, lie would sell his share to a new member. In addition, there would be a $2.00 per hour charge for the actual flying. This $2.00 would cover the cost of gasoline and oil. insurance, hangar rent, repairs and overhauls, and other necessary expenses. A member must fly at least two hours per month which means, therefore, that the plane would fly at least 500 hours per year. On February 24, 1948 we had our first really official meeting and it was on that day that the first draft of our constitution was read. Then ensued three weeks of extensive search for the airplane which we needed. On March 9, 1948 we made magnificent strides toward final or¬ ganization. With the aid ol our attorney, Mr. Eugene Wright, we filed our corporation papers under the Iowa Statutes. And on the same day we made the down payment on a 194 Piper Cub. It flew beautifully and we were all very proud of our new purchase .

MIXED CHORUS At the beginning of the present school year Father Emmett Kelly realized the limitations of a purely male choral group and thus concern ' d the plans for the blending of voices between Loras and Clarke colleges. The original plans calk ' d for fifty voices from each school, hut now the number has been limited to eighty. The members of this organization are volunteering their time and energy along with their present instructor. Father Joseph Kleiner, to promote a better understanding and deeper appreciation of semi-classical music. Most of the music has been chosen hv an ad¬ visory hoard which consults with the instructor in order that representative American and Euro¬ pean folklore he included. Each school has been the site for rehearsal with an arbitrary stipulation of one semester at each conservatory. The initial dehut for the Mixed Chorus was made at Ottumwa. Iowa, during the Music Festival held there in the early part of May. The officers designated for Loras are: John Mehrl. president; Gene O ' Connell, vice-presi¬ dent; Bill Hurley, secretary: and Bob McCul¬ lough. treasurer. Page One 1 luiulreil Throe BAND 1 hrough mud. rain, snow and cold, the Loras College Band managed to attend most of its rehearsals and to continue prayers for at least one warm sunny day when an outdoor appear¬ ance 4 was scheduled. Although the 4 prayers seemed to procure negligible results, the re- heaisals were more effective and succeeded in swelling the repertoire unbelievably. One to the fact that the first football game, and consequently the first appearance of the band, occurred two days after the opening of school, Mr. Vaughn Cayman, the 4 director, was not able to spend too much time 4 in readying the 4 band for their debut. Gradually the group grew and at the end of the 4 football season was at its zenith with lift) ' members. Following the football games and homecom¬ ing activities came the 4 basketball season and final preparations for the annual Christmas con¬ cert which was presented December 17. Trip to Davenport to St. Ambrose Game. jfrmmm V J P 1 1 1 ih I limdrid tom Subsequently the band rested with only three practices and the scheduled number of basketball games per week until rehearsing was begun in earnest for the Spring Concert which was presented at Clarke College. Featured at this traditional concert were choral style arrange¬ ments and a novel, fast beat technique. Also comprising the program were several vocal solo surprise ' s and an excellent selection of famous march numbers. Concluding the full year, the band performed at the spring football game 1 . Senior Flag Day, and the commencement exercises. Also included in the years activities were the two memorable trips when the band visited St. Thomas College during the football season and St. Ambrose College for the basketball game at Davenport. Page One Hundred Five VESTED CHOIR The famous Loras College Vested Choir com¬ pleted a highly successful season with the sing¬ ing of the graduation ceremonies on May 30th. From the ninety students who auditioned for membership, the Reverend Emmet G. Kelly, director, selected forty-five to fill for the first time the choir stalls behind the high altar in the new College chapel. Here this group of men. trained in many rehearsals, sang and chanted Solemn High Mass in the culmination of Catholic liturgy. On October 26th, the choir was privileged to sing the historic Pontifical Mass during the dedi¬ cation of the Chapel of Christ the King — a glorious way in which to mark the organiza¬ tion’s fortieth vear and to bring to a close the splendid years during which Father Kelly had led his group through a revival of the Gregorian movement.

Father Kelly left to assume his new duties as pastor at the parish of St. Joseph in New Hampton, Iowa. Palm Sunday the Vested Choir, in accordance with its oldest and most venerable tradition, singing A Capella, solemnly opened Holy Week services in the sanctuary of St. Raphael ' s Cathedral. The last week in April the choir toured Illinois for its 194S concert season which ended with the participation in the annual Catholic College Music Festival in Ottumwa, Iowa. During the year the Reverend Albert Carman accompanied the group on the new console organ especially built and designed for the choir. Page One I hind red Seven To mark the completion of the new three- manual pipe organ in the Chapel of Christ the King a series of recitals were held by student organists and their instructor, the Rev. Albert Carman. The first of these, a sort of debut for the new organ, was presented in April and played by Father Carman. It was planned with the view of demonstrating the great vari¬ ety of tonal resources which the instrument offers ranging from the quiet whisper, as of a meditation, to the thrilling grandeur of “full organ.” The student recitalists presented two pro¬ grams incorporating works of the masters from the pre-Bach period to the moderns such as Karg-Elert and Dupre. The activities on the campus of a religious nature give the student organists opportunity to put their learning on the “king of instru¬ ments” to practical use. At Mass, Benediction and Holy Hours, the future maestros accom¬ pany the student body in offering their laud for the greater honor and glory of God. ORGANISTS Standing: Jim Murphy.

The second semester brought the practice studio registra¬ tion to lull-capacity, and 8:00 a.m. keyboard drilling became a common fact. The musician was a busv student, and his efforts netted him an appearance in the 1 student recitals in the assembly of the (Christ the King Chapel. The 1 new anel modem quarters in the ( ' Impel great¬ ly facilitated instruction and practices. Under the s timulus of Professor Arthur J. Kufel, new head of the Piano Department, oxer one hundred students registered during the two semesters. The piano majors kept the lVories warm, but the adult-beginners ran a close second to them. The successful performance of the pianist in public was repaxment for his many hours of labor and deserved the attention and acclaim of the capacity audience ' s.

Much credit is due the staff, who have contributed many hours in preparing a representative yearbook. In addition to his regular duties. Associate Editor Ed Grady was burdened with the difficult problem of scheduling indiv idual pictures. Make-up Editor Jack Most spent considerable time preparing attractive layouts for the book. Director of photography Hugh Kelly made him¬ self conspicuous on the campus arranging the variety of pictures the staff desired. The organizations pictures were taken by Boh Hem mi. who did two semesters’ work in one semester. Leland Smith, Dick Evans, and Paul Spaight were faithful to the call, and to them is owed the credit for the other pictures in the Purgold.

Business Manager Bob Dolan and assistant John Stevens were confronted with an especiallv difficult task this year as a result of greatly increased production costs. Rising up to meet these difficulties, the business staff sold a record amount of advertising. We hope that all Loras students will enjoy this Purgold now and in the years to come.

PRAYER LEADERS Sacristans I lie Sacristans are a group of six hoarders chosen by the Rev. Ernest P. Ament, Loras Spiritual Director, to serve about the Main Al¬ tar of the Chapel of Christ the King and in the Chapel of the Apostles. Care of the altars, the sane tuaiy, the sacred vessels and the vestments, and the appointment and instruction of servers and officers for the ceremonies throughout the yeai fall under their direction. The men alter¬ nate in their duties every week with each mem- 1 )( ‘ I distributing devotedly and unselfishlv to the enhancement of the divine services. Prayer Leaders The Prayer Leaders for the 1947-’48 school year were Robert J. Ament, John F. Ganshirt, Thomas W. Neville, and Walter F. Crowley. These men were appointed by Monsignor Breen, Dean of Men, and Father Ament, spiritual di¬ rector of Loras. Their duties consisted of lead¬ ing the resident students in morning, evening, and special prayers and in the reading of the Gospel during Lent. IVigt One f fti mi red sixteen Franciscans The primary purpose of the Third Order is the personal sanctification of its members through the following of a specific Rule of Life. The Third Order does not demand saint¬ hood upon entrance, hut promises to make saints of all who have a good will and persevere. Through the good example, the good works and the prayers of its members, the Third Order also strives to bring the world back to Christ. The Loras Fraternity of the Third Order was established six years ago by a group of men who were sent to Loras from St. Ambrose to continue their clerical studies during the war. Since that time it has increased its membership until today, under the direction of its moder¬ ator, the Rev. L. J. Enzler, the Third Order of St. Francis is one of the larger organizations on the Loras campus. Twenty-seven new mem¬ bers were received into the order during the past year. Dominicans Amid the vibrant hum of mental and physical activity, amid the academic and extra-curricular demands of the ordinary way of college campus life, the members of the Third Order of Saint Dominic pause, and offer their day to their Divine Lord through Our Lady of the Rosary. The Dominican Tertiaries are a group of college students, moderated by the Rev. Wilfred Kress, activating in a nucleus, according to a common rule laid down for them for their own spiritual betterment and advancement. The Prior, Sub-prior, and Novice Master, with the aid of the Secretary-treasurer, make it pos¬ sible for the group to be mindful of their lay apostolate and live accordingly among the vari¬ ous mundane requests of college life. One of the most active organizations on the campus, the Third Order has called to the col¬ lege such visitors as the Rev. Norbert Ceoiges. O.P., Editor of Torch Magazine, and the Rev. J. N. Walsh, O.P., River Forest, Ill., Novice Master of the Dominican House of Studies. Walter Crowley, novice master; Albert Manternach, prelect; Bob Ament, vice-prefect; Paul Steimel, secretary-treasurer.

Thus has the Lora Sodality, affiliated with the Prima Primaria i, Rome and ably guided by the Reverend Urhai Churchill, furthered the world-wide re-enthrone ment of Christ the King. Little Flower Society The Society of the Little Flower has been organized at Loras to foster devotion to St. Therese, the Little Flower of Jesus. As tlu Patroness of Vocations, she has undoubtedly led many students to a knowledge of their future state in life, and it is through this title that the students seek her aid. In these troubled times it is all the more necessary for Catholic students to have a messenger and guide of personal vir¬ tue in the love of God. Lorasmen have found theirs in St. Therese. The Very Rev. Msgr. Arthur J. Breen is the society’s moderator. LITTLE FLOWER LORAS COLLEGE PLAYERS Thirty-eighth Season The gamut of this years presentations by the Loras players has embraced extremes in several respects. From the height of tragedy it ran to popular murder mvsterv, and from the Elizabethan Age to plays of the present day. Tin ' s season showed almost a com¬ plete change of acting personnel. Veterans like Mar¬ tin Koch and Tom Hurm remained, but many new faces have been added to the cast of each play, many of whom have displayed remarkable ability. Father Karl Schroeder has been the director of the Loras Flavors ' offerings since 1939, and his efforts this year were rewarded with a loud applause of his au¬ diences and the satisfaction of having given the Col¬ lege successful and inspiring productions. Due to his illness the Lev. James Donohue was unable to be with tin plavors. But Father Karl Klein lent his skills in the capacity of technical director, adding clever props to Macbeth and to Ten Little Indians with his papier- mache head of Macbeth and the ten carved statuettes for the latter play. The settings of each play were in keeping with the Loras Flavors ' reputation and were used to great ef¬ fect. This is particularly true of the scenery for Mac - belle which was designed by James D.

Father Schroeder opened tlu� year with a fitting staccato opening, the tragedy of Macbeth. This was followed h gat ha Christie ' s Ten Little Indians , Ruth Gordon’s Years Ago, and Henri Gheon’s The Come¬ dian. This year marked a return to the custom of pre¬ senting Sakespeare on the Loras stage, after its short period of abandonment for last year ' s Cyrano de Bergerac by Rostand. Robert Amundson, who won laurels in Cyrano , was outstanding in his character¬ ization of the ambitious Scottish chieftain. Equal¬ ly compelling was the ever-delightful and ever-en¬ chanting Marv Ann Kaep, whose Lady Macbeth was one of the most flawless performances ever seen on the Loras stage. She entranced her audiences with her beautiful voice and her own intrinsic charms. Miss Kaep has continued her fine work with leading roles in three of the four plays given this year. Also in Macbeth and worthy of especial note are the three witches, Martin Koch, Thomas McCormick and James Croker. Great realism was added to their rendition by the use of real snakes. Tom Hurm has added four new jewels to his al¬ ready heavily studded crown ol triumph with is fas¬ cinating interpretations of the porter in Macbeth , the villain in Ten Little Indians , the father in cars Ago. and Triphon, an actor, in The Comedian. The difficult and demanding role of Genesius in Gheon ' s Comedian was given to Leon Meyers, who mastered his part almost to perfection. In the role of Macduff lie was first brought to the attention of the local audiences. Page One Hundred Nineteen MAC BETH —by W. Shakespeare rhis vear s production of Shakespeare’s Macbet was the dramatic opener of the season. Actors, see. ery and atmosphere blended to make this a grea success. I he eerie scenes on the stage were enhance, not only by tI k witches and the murderers, but b tile organ music furnished by Paul Ortscheid bv th smoky vapor pouring forth from the witches ' caldroi and by the use of real snakes. Hobcri Amundson as Macbeth and Mary Ann Kae as Ladv Macbeth were most striking in their inter¬ pretation of the Scottish general and his evil genius. Mr. Amundson’s hard features lent much to the credi¬ bility of his role, while Miss kaep’s strong and vibrant voice completely won her audience. Thomas Hurm, as the drunken porter, contributed greatly to the comic relief needed. Macduff, played by Leon Meyers, and Banquo, played by Vern Stier- imin. were exceptionally good. Page ( )nc Hundred f wnit The mystery selection for the 1947-48 season was Agatha Christie ' s famous Ten Little Indians , and the play’s reception at Loras was in keeping with the popularity that the book had already received. The hero and heroine were played by Fred Syburg and Mary Duggan, while the villain was convincingly enacted by Thomas Hurm. Ten people had been invited to the home of a stranger for a week-end party; the house was situated on an island out of contact with the mainland. One by one the guests were murdered and after each death one of the ten Indian sta¬ tues on the fireplace disappeared. The mur¬ derer succeeded in killing all but the two voung lovers, by himself masquerading as one of the victims. David Locher, long a veteran of the Loras Players, made his farewell appearance as Rogers, the servant. Martin Koch, Bart Brown, and Robert Schuster were outstanding among the ten guests.

Page f hi Hundred I wenn i wo THE COMEDIAN —by Henri Gheon Henri G1 icon ' s The Comedian is a drama w hose emphasis is on character rather than on plot. The author carefully strove to depict the slow ' hut successful conversion of a fourth cen¬ tury actor in Nicomedia, its influence on his leading lady, and on the emperor, Diocletian. At first Genesius, the actor, resents Christianity, hut, being compelled to present on the stage the martyrdom of a young Christian, he gradu¬ ally becomes more and more absorbed in his role. During the play before the Emperor his performance is so stirring that it is soon seen that he is not merely acting. He confesses him¬ self then a Christian and is beheaded as the curtain falls. T he role of Genesius was very convincingly played by Leon Meyers; Poppaea, the haughty actress and favorite of the emperor, was a part which served to display once again Mary Ann Kacp ' s versatility; and the grev-haired Diocle¬ tian w ' as capably portrayed by Robert Schuster. STAGE CREW Smoking in the Outer Lobby Only. The Houselights Are Dimmed. And Here ' s the Play Tontght at 8:30 Contributing greatly to the successful presentation of each play is the stage crew to which not enough credit is ever given. Without them neither the lighting, nor the sound effects, nor the curtain would ever be assimilated into a perfect whole. In short, if the Loras products are technically successful, it is due to the unlauded stage staff and their technical director. Father Klein. For the past few years the important position of stage manager has been very capably filled by Raymond P. Weis of Austin, Minn. It is he who sees to it that his stage crew effects all the changes of scenery on time, has each property in its own place on the stage, and gives the signal for the curtain to rise on each act. During this past year Mr. Weis has been ably assisted by Robert Kirshbaum, Leo Morrissey, Patrick Kelly, Robert Leto and Roger Sullivan. For the last play of the season the following names were added to the list of his helpers: Charles Blake, J. Bardon Brown, Robert Carroll, Tom Wolf and James Garvey. The electricians who contributed greatly to the au¬ thenticity and to the beauty of the scenes were Timothy Lynch, Patrick Grimes and Quentin Case. Special properties necessary for the Loras Players vari¬ ous productions were left to the capable care of the Rev. Kenneth Downing. Custodian of these several properties was Don Enderlin. The Very Rev. S. D. Luby acted as house manager lor the first two presentations of the season. lie was suc¬ ceeded in this capacity by the Rev. Kenneth Ryan. Serving as ushers under them were Dominic Jerome Halloran, Robert Ament, Roger Kennedy, James Gibson, Walter Crowley and Leo Gildner. Ticket sales were in charge of Robert Dolan, who acted as business manager for the Loras Players. The book and the curtain were left to the very talented and experienced hands of David A. Locher in three of the four plays given. His place for Ten Little Indians was filled by Roger Sullivan, while Mr. Locher lent himself to an actual performance in the play. Besides these import¬ ant tasks David was sound effect s for Macbeth . And dur¬ ing Father Schroeders absence for some of the rehearsals of The Comedian Mr. Locher was commissioned to take over his duties and act as student director. His departure thi s year will leave openings in the dramatic staff for several people to fill.

Loras’ 1947 football team may well be marked down in his¬ tory as one of the top elevens the school has ever produced. Almost completely reversing their dismal record of last year, the Duhawks won every one of the nine games on their tough schedule to finish the season as one of the twelve undefeated, untied teams in the countrv. Much of the credit must be given to Wally Fromhart, who in his college debut as a head coach, gave the school its lirst all-victorious team in a quarter of a century. Wallv left his coaching post at Mount Carmel High School in Chicago and came directly to Dubuque as the new Loras mentor after the resignation of Vince Dowd, who wished to devote full time to his basketball duties. Loras 28—South Dakota 0 Alter a gruelling two-month practice session that started in mid-August, the Duhawks opened their tough nine-game schedule against South Dakota State in the Loras Stadium on September 20. Starting for Loras in this initial test were: ends Walt Lav den. a returning veteran from last year ' s c lub, and Jerry Witry, a very promising frosh newcomer; tackles—Hog Orv is.

I his first game featured the two members the Loras “pony express” backfield, Mike Llliott, who counted 16 of the 28 points, and Ed Uvodich, who raced 55 yards with an in- teieepted pass for another score. All told the Du hawks racked up a total of 445 yards, 30S of these coming on the ground. Loras 27—Luther 0 1 laveling to Decorah for their only night game of the year.

Hanlon’s total for the evening was 132 yards gained by rushing in 14 tries for a healthy 9.4 yard average. The entire line was outstanding with Arneberg and Zahren showing up par¬ ticularly well.

The “Bees” drew first blood in the middle of the first period when they shook their speedy half¬ back, Mclligan, loose for a 50 yard scoring jaunt around end. Loras, however, came back strong in the second quarter when Jack Rohan, a 17-year-old left-handed sensation at quarter¬ back, threw a long pass to Halfback Ralph Peterson, who fielded the ball on the twelve yard line and waltzed over the goal unmolested. Later in the same period, Hanlon climaxed a 49 yard touchdown march by crashing over from the five yard line for another score. Mike Elliott’s successful conversion made the scon ' 13-6, and it was only a matter of seconds until the Duhawks had their third touchdown of the period and the ball game. It was another Rohan to Peterson aerial that paid off — this time for 42 yards. Elliott’s kick made it 20-6 and as far as the score was concerned, that was the ball game. The second half was mostly a defensive battle, highlighted by the efforts of O’Neill, Moore and Orvis. IVi c ( nc Hundred J ' wrnn ei ht Ed Murphy Tackle Fran Ganshirt Halfback Bill O ' Neill Center Loras 20—Illinois Normal 7 The Duhawks scored their fourth victory in as many Raines by trouncing a previous unde¬ feated Illinois State Normal eleven on October 11 in the Hock Bowl Stadium. Once again it was Jack Holuin s strong left arm and Boh Han¬ lon s churning legs that sparked the Loras team. Rohan connected with another scoring aerial to Peterson for the first score and Hanlon was the director of a ground attack that racked up 220 yards to Normal s 99. Treacy, Arueherg and Murphy were towers of strength in a stingy Loras line which yielded only six first downs in the entire game. Loras 6—Saint Norbert ' s 0 A successful homecoming weekend was cli¬ maxed on October 19 when Coach Wally From- hart s Duhawks dropped another previously un¬ defeated squad, this time St. Norbert ' s of West De Pere, 6-0.

Loras 32—Saint Mary ' s 12 Bob Hanlon earned denite consideration for All-American honors as the big Loras fullback smashed his way to three touchdowns in a 32-12 route of a supposedly strong Saint Mary’s eleven, another home game at the Loras Stadium. Hanlons scoring jaunts were of 2, 9, and 28 yards, and he was helped immeasurably by the cnsp blocking and fine play of the Loras line. Uvodich and Elliott, twin terrors at halfback positions, also turned in some nice runs. Elliott scoring once from the three and Uvodich romp¬ ing over from 20 yards out after taking a pass from Elliott. Tom Mares, freshman center Bill Moore, and Walt Leyden stood out in the line. Loras 20—Saint Thomas 19 Loras ' victory string, now stretching into its seventh straight game, was almost snapped by a hard charging St. Thomas team at St. Paul on November 2. But, in the end. Coach From- hart s Duhawks came out on the long end of a 20-10 score. “Automatic” Mike Elliott provided the margin of victory with his third extra point of the game after “Leftv” Jack Rohan had put Loras back in the game with a spot pass to Ralph Peterson which covered 32 yards. Other Duhawk pointmakers were Jerry Witry and Ed Uvodich. Tom Salschieder, twisting Tommie halfback, was a thorn in tlu Duhawks side all afternoon with his brilliant running and passing.

Halfback Eddie Uvodich scored three of the five touchdowns, on runs of 26, 33, and 50 yards, in the Duhawks’ last 1947 home game. Hanlon scored once from the two, and Frank Parker hanged his way over from the Winona 10-vard line. A couple of reserve halfbacks, Dick Mares and Dan Henry, also looked good as they punched the Winona line for consistent gains. Loras ' superiority was clearly shown in the sta- t : sties, with the Duhawks reeling off 18 first down to the Teachers ' 8, and 432 yards rushing to a Winona total of 139 yards. Loras 21—Saint Joseph ' s 6 Coach Wally Fromharts Duhawks made it nine wins in nine games as they traveled to Col- legeville, Indiana, to defeat a surprisingly strong Joseph ' s team 21-6, in their last tilt of the 194 1 season. Jack Rohan came through with three Part of the Capacity Crowd in Rock Bowl touchdown passes when the vaunted Loras ground attack stalled on a cold, windy gridiron. Two of Rohan ' s scoring heaves were to Half¬ hack Ralph Peterson and the other to End Bill Treacy. Mike Elliott successfully kicked all the three extra points to bring his total for the sea¬ son to 20. Loras 146 yards rushing was their lowest of the season but it was more than offset by the Purple and Gold aerial game, which gained 162 yards for eight completions in 14 at¬ tempts. The strong Duhawk line held the Pumas to a meager 6S yards on the ground. An anti-climax to the successful season came when it was learned that Bob Hanlon had been chosen for a first team position at fullback ou the annual Little All-America Football team selections, and Jim Arneberg was awarded hon¬ orable mention at guard on the same squad. Hanlon, one of the most outstanding backs ever to pel form in a Loras uniform, has signed a pro¬ fessional contract and next year will play with the Champion Chicago Cardinal entry in the National Football League. for Loras-St. Ambrose Game.

Answering were seven lettermen from last year’s crack squad and ox er eighty hopeful newcomers. All-American forward Merlin “Mickey” Marty towering Steve Slattery, and clever Dave Ware- ham formed the nucleus around which Dowd hoped to build a team equal to the 194 aggre¬ gation which won 24 of the 2 S games on their schedule. The four other returning monogram winners were Don Rocky Sullivan, stellar le- Pagi One Hundred Hurty-tour Avid Student Body bounder and defensive star, Bill Pender, dead-eye scor¬ ing threat, Wayne Knipschield, versatile athlete from Madison, and Paul Proctor, ball-handler de luxe. Out¬ standing newcomers included McCabe, Skraby, Ternes, Ollalloran, Rhomberg, Garvey, Nemmers, Voorhees, Reddy, Phelan, Ross, Moskal and Zaleski. The squad was soon cut down to 25 men, with about half of these being assigned to the “B” squad, and after a month of strenuous practice, was ready for the season ' s opener. Platteville Teachers provided the opposition in the Duhawks first tilt, and the Dowdmen looked very im¬ pressive in a 60-36 victory over the Wisconsin five. Mickey Marty took up where he left off last year as he dropped in six field goals and three free throws for 15 points and high scoring honors for the evening. Steve Slattery and Dave Wareham helped with nine and eight points respectively. Coach Dowd substituted freely and frosh reserves O llalloran, Skraby and Ternes all came through with fine per¬ formances . . . Loras took to the road for their next game and dropped St. Mary ' s (Minn.) on the Redmen’s home court in a close tilt, 51-42.

Next on the Duhawks schedule of events was their Christinas tour which saw them knock over four of the outstanding teams in the nation on a jaunt which lasted about a week and carried them over a thousand miles. On December 16, the first victim, St. Joseph ' s of Collegeville, Indiana, fell with a thud, 47-45.

After a short Christmas vacation, Loras returned to their home floor to oppose a crack Utah State quintet in what was regarded by many local fans as the top game of the season. The Utah State aggregation, subsequent conquerors of Vadal Peterson ' s famed Utah University ' s champion Utes,” were upset by Marty and Company, 55-48, with Mickey personallly accounting for 26 tallies. Marty’s total for the first ten games had now reached 230 points for an astronimical 23.0 aver¬ age ... In the first game of the new year, 1948, on January 6, Coach Dowd and his Duhawks, with Marty on the sick list and unable to play, were jolted severely by an underdog Platteville Teachers ' team, 52-51. McCabe and Slattery took up the scoring reins, but just couldn ' t halt the determined Platteville drive. It was the second defeat in eleven tilts for Loras . . . The Platteville game proved to be a prophecy of coming events, as the Duhawks dropped their next two tilts, to Simpson, 57-53, and the other to Central at Pella, 62-59, in an overtime battle.

Marty was held to his lowest total of the season, 12 points,, by the unorthodox defensive tactics of 11 ic ' Central Americans, but McCabe, a master of the wrist snap jump shot, took up the scoring slack with 12 more well-placed points.

Veghlan was shackled by the effective Steve Slattery and managed to get only nine points, far below his 17.5 average. Marty banged home 21 markers as Loras won going away, 54-34 ... A Midlands Conference battle at West De Pere, Wisconsin, found Loras on the short end of a 52-49 score, as St. Norbert s squeezed by the Duhawks in a close one. despite Marty’s 23 points.

Marty was almost completely bottled up and found the basket for only nine points, while Arnie Veghlan rang up 17 points to even his personal score with the Du¬ buque ace . . . Loras finished out their 1947-4S season with two final home games, coming out victorious in both. They trounced Saint Benedict ' s again, 62-37, and administered the same treatment to Saint Norberts, 69-47. These last two wins enabled them to claim undisputed first place in the newlv-formed Midlands Conference with a 5-2 record, and end the sea¬ son with a record of 21 victories in their 29 games. Mickey Marty finished the year with 575 points in the 28 games in which he played for a respectable 20.5 average. Further honors were heaped upon the affable Dubuque flash, when Collegiate Magazine announced his selection at a first team forward post on their annual All-Midwest Basketball Team. Loras ' “B” team played a 17-game schedule against some of the midwests top independent squads, and wound up the year with a 13-4 record, which in¬ cluded wins against Dubuque’s crack Central Cafe outfit, Freeport, Rockford Amvets, and Galena. Outstanding all year for the junior Purple and Gold were Garvey, Zaleski, Nemmers, Phelan, Reddy, Pavelski, Voorhees, Powers, Knutson, Ross and Rhomberg.

Coach A1 Schramm was forced to relv heavilv on several promising frosh newcomers as prospective point getters. In the three meets to date, these men have come through with flying colors—such men as Treacy, Jacobi, and Ross in the dashes, Rigney, Callaghan, and Lahart in the hurdles; Simpson, Yoorhees, and Casev in the middle-distances: Conrardy, Ryan, and Haas in the distance runs; Phelan, Dreves, Rhomberg, and Ryan in the weight events; Lahart and Royal in the pole vault; Con¬ nors and Treacy in the high jump, and Royal in the broad jump. The Lorasmen failed to place in their initial outing at Chicago in the Illinois Tech Relavs on March 13, as Con¬ rardy, Rignev and Treacy were barelv edged in their re¬ spective divisions. Two weeks later, however, at the Coo Relavs in Cedar Rapids, thev finished a strong second, los¬ ing only to a Cornell squad from Mt. Vernon. It was at this meet that Loras was responsible for three new Coe Relav records as Bill Rigney blazed over the high hurdles in 15.7 seconds. Joe Royal pole vaulted 10 ft. 10 in., and the sprint medley relav team, made up of Ross, Simpson Treacy, and Conrardy ran a 3:32 mile.

TENNIS GOLF Newly-appointed tennis coach. Father Cyril Reilly, found only two veterans back from last years star studded squad, after the season’s first practice session. C. J. Buelow and Arnie Koes¬ ter. both very capable performers, were back, but gone were such stalwarts as Chris Fluhr, Gus Baker, and George Meyer. Father Reilly’s re¬ building task was lightened considerably by the presence of such men as Walt Crowley, Jim Gar¬ vey, Norb West, Don Breitbach, and Dave Wright. 1 he Duhawk netmen dropped their first match of the season against Coe College at Dubuque, 4-2, with Buelow and Garvey provid¬ ing Loras ' only points. Chances for a victory were dimmed when Koester suffered a pulled muscle and was forced to withdraw. The next tilt saw the team travel to Madison where they met and were defeated by a powerful University of Wisconsin squad, 9-0. Practice for the Duhawk tennis team was ham¬ pered severely by inclement weather conditions, and consequently, in their next match, they were defeated bv an Iowa State Teachers’ squad from Cedar Falls. In their next match of the season, they traveled to Mt. Vernon, Iowa, where they showed their best form of the season in blanking a Cornell College squad, 6-0. Remaining con¬ tests on the schedule included return matches with Iowa Teachers and Coe. and the Iowa Conference Meet. The squad is being run on a “ladder basis with am squad member entitled to challenge the man above him at any time and thus earn a place on the team. Coach Becker’s starting foursome of Don Pal¬ mer, Jim Altenbern. Charley Becker and Sonny Mav, took the first golfing match of the mlant season for l.oras when they defeated a Coe quartet from Cedar Rapids at the Bun ci 1 course by a decisive 12-0 count. Altenbern and Palmer tied for top honors, each with a 9 tota . while Becker rapped out an 81 total and Nlav scored an 85 total. Twelve more matches which remained on the Duhawk schedule inc uc ec clashes with Ames, Iowa Teachers, St. Amlnosc, Platteville Teachers, and the Iowa Conference and Midlands Conference meets.

Intramurals enjoyed one of their most successful seasons in 1947-48 at Loras with an estimated 500 students taking part in Director A1 Schramm’s diversified and well-managed program. From the opening kickoff in the touch football league to the last out on the softball sche- ule, play was rugged and competition keen.

Third place honors went to the Eagles, while other outstanding teams were the Fight¬ ing Irish, Gators, Rockets, Nite Owls and Swabbies. PING PONG AND TENNIS Ping Pong honors in the intramural tour¬ nament went to Lowell Benson, singles cham¬ pion, and the Finkenauer-Sullivan team which Wayne Drexlcr and Lowell Benson. First Semester Doubles Ping Pong ( hampions proved to be the top doubles combination. Benson defeated such formidable opponents as Gerk, Carpenter, Sullivan and Voellinger to cop the singles crown, but he and his partner, Wayne Drexler, were defeated by a tough Fink- enauer - Ferring combination in the finals of the doubles. The fall tennis tournament featured some closely contested matches with Walt Crowley finally emerging on top as singles champion, and the team of Beaves and Murphy taking honors in the doubles division. Intramural director Schramm also conducted a spring tennis tournament for tennis enthusi¬ asts. Prominent among the en¬ tries were West, Nash, Senneff, Letko, Donovan, Schmidt, Woll, Larkin, Waul. Kremer, and Co¬ rona. P.igi ( )iu- I I inidrcci I ■ � ri VOLLEYBALL Captain Man Meyer and his Night Owl volleyball squad romped through the fall schedule without a defeat to repeat their performance of last year as intramural volleyball champion. Mem¬ bers ol the squad included Meyer, Deckert, Beaves, Murphy, Ross and Champion. Other outstanding teams in the circuit were Nifty Six, Rockets, and Gophers. HANDBALL AND HORSESHOES Dave Wareham continued his handball mastery over all other contenders as he captured the singles crown himself and then teamed with Bob Downey to take top spot in the doubles class. Wareham had to defeat such stars as Downey, Panozza, and Demet, while he and Downey won their title by downing the Hagen- Panozza team in the finals of the tournament. Paul Nora was de¬ throned as horseshoe king as Bob Junker came through with four consecutive victories to take undisputed title. BASKETBALL With a record number of 46 teams entered for intramural play, Coach Schramm formed two leagues, a Border League and an Off- Campus League. The intramural championship of the year was to be determined by a double-elimination post season tournament between the top eight teams of each league. Eventual winners of the tournament were the Eagles, who also walked off with top honors in the Boarder League, and who defeated the Off-Campus League champs. The Hungry Five, in the tourney final, 62-45. The Eagles lost only one game all year, an upset decision to the Boulevard Boys, but were closely pressed in the Boarder League by such teams as the Mahdeds, Celtics, Delta Sima, Choplj, and Walter Crowley — Tennis Champion (Singles).

Charlie Engler was awarded the trophy given annually to the bowler with the season ' s top individual performance for his 248 game. BASEBALL Intramural Director Schramm’s call for soft- ball and hardball teams was answered by an unprecedented number of squads. Consequent¬ ly the formation of four leagues was necessary, including the noon and evening softball (12 in.) leagues, a new 16 in. circuit, and the hardball league. The noon league boasts three of the top pitchers in the city in Wayne Knipschield of the Badgers. “Zip” Didesch of the Whiz Kids, and Lou Letko of the Mahdeds.

MIDLANDS TOURNAMENT With the formation ol the new Midlands Conference, made up of Loras, St. Norberts, St. Ambrose, St. Joseph’s and St. Benedicts, a plan was approved by the members whereby each school would select its intramural cham¬ pions in every sport and send the winners to a Midlands Extramural meet where tourna¬ ments would be held in the various sports to determine team and individual champions. This year the meet was held in Davenport, and Loras’ representatives included the following: basketball—Eagles; volleyball—Nite Owls; bow¬ ling — Dnngeoneers; and ping pong — Benson, Kinkenhauer and Sullivan. Loras could do no better than finish third as the St. Ambrose athletes won the first of these annual tournevs. Page One Hundred kit tv two he end- of labor is vo pwa leisure Aristotle . 7?r i Unmatched.

The greatest Homecoming in Loras history commenced with the traditional dance in the superablv decorated college gymnasium. At the dance, which spotlighted Larry Fos¬ ters orchestra, the first Queen of a Loras Home¬ coming, Mrs. Salvatore Ruffalo of Chicago, Ill., was announced and presented to the capacity crowd of l oth students and alumni attending the hall. The gymnasium was transformed by the dec¬ oration committee into a homecoming paradise. Placed above the band stand were life-sized replicas of football plavers while the thrones of the king and queen of the celebration were lo¬ cated opposite an illuminated L which blazed into glorv both at the dance and at the succeed¬ ing game. ... and Wiener Roast A wiener roast, winch was the second main social event of the current school year, was spon¬ sored before Halloween in the Hock Bowl by the joint action of the Hnrgold staff and the social committee. I he affair consisted of a program of enter¬ tainment in addition to a ten dollar admission prize which was given away at a drawing held toward the close of the event. An excellent crowd attended the outing, in¬ cluding off campus students who were interested in the wieners, on campus students who were interested in the attendance prize, and young ladies from our sister schools who were inter¬ ested in all three. I u� t l ru Hundred l ihv four Decorations radiating a Thanksgiving atmo¬ sphere, and music from Larry Fosters orchestra, highlighted the pre-Thanksgiving dance which was sponsored by the newly reorganized social committee. Dancing and the serving of refreshments con¬ tinued until midnight at the well attended pre- Advent ball. Decorations consisting of pump¬ kins, artificial turkeys, and corn stalks adorned the gym which was the scene of the second major dance of the school year. The informal atmosphere was conducive to the much-needed relaxation after the strenuous week of mid-semester tests, and apparentlv even- group of students in the college, with the excep¬ tion of chemistry scholars was represented. Thanksgiving Dance ... The Chocolate Charleston, the Peppermint Polka and the Tootsie Roll Trot, teamed up with the Butterscotch Blues, the Caramel Caper and the Sugar Shuffle to provide a full evening of entertainment for Clarke and Loras students be¬ fore the awaited Thanksgiving vacation. The Clai ke College gymnasium was the scene . . . and Candy Caper of the Candy Caper, annual Clarke sophomore soiree, which featured the music of Will Thome and his orchestra. The dance floor carried out the theme of the hall exceptionally well, having as a focal point a giant ice cream cone illuminated hv colored spotlights and huge candy canes adorning the walls. College social lift got off with rocket-like speed and bril¬ liance as Delta Sigma sponsored its first dance of the school year. The scene of the affair was the Knights of Columbus Hall and the action was vigorous. In spite of propaganda and the monetary motives, the dance was a great success and a joy¬ ous occasion to many. Delta Sigma Dance . . . The speech auditorium in the new chapel had its initiation as a social center when the Loras social committee sponsored another ol their perennial mixers.
