MERCY’S ACTIVITIES Page Ninety-one I FOOTBALL The 1949 Loros College entry in the football derby broke away from the starting gates in rare form last September. But it was a case of reaching their peak too soon as mid-season marked a losing streak from which the Duhawks never recovered. As a result of the disastrous tailspin, the gridders of Coach Wally Fromhart finished with three wins against five losses. The first two games on the Loras schedule were played away from the Rock Bowl. In the season opener at St. Paul, the Duhawks edged a strong St. Thomas College eleven, 7-0. Then came the big game of the sea¬ son with Toledo University. The contest was to mark the Lorasmen ' s climb into a higher bracket of com¬ petition. The Fromhartmen came through with a brilliant 35-26 victory over the big Ohioans. Some 1,000 fans were at the railroad station to welcome the team back to Dubuque the following Sunday night and a snake dance—the only one of the season—held up traffic in the business district. St. Ambrose was next on the list in the first home game of the season. Loras led 6-0 at halftime, but the Bees of Coach Moon Mullins came roaring back to gain a 28-13 verdict and avenge their defeats at the hands of a Fromhart-coached eleven in the 47 and ' 48 seasons. An undefeated St. Benedict ' s team from Kansas invaded the Rock Bowl a week later, but the Duhawks were ready and came up with a 33-6 win. This marked the mid-season. The rec¬ ord stood at three victories against one defeat. St. The great white father of Loras College foot¬ ball . . . head coach Wally Fromhart. Joseph ' s of Collegeville, Ind., pushed the Lorasmen back¬ ward with a 20-0 whitewashing. Next Quincy pulled an upset, slipping past the Duhawks by a 14-13 score in the Rock Bowl. The record stood at 3-3 as Homecoming approached. The College had its bonfire, its parade and its crowd. The team wanted to win. But St. Norbert s filled the air with passes and managed to eke out a 21-20 victory. The team went East for the final game of the season, meeting undefeated, untied and un¬ scored upon Gannon College of Erie, Pa. After the game Gannon was still undefeated and untied, but not un¬ scored upon. For Loras made a TD in losing by a 19- 6 score. r t Before the wars . . . Coach Wally Fromhart and some twenty odd stalwarts of the 1949 aggregation as they appeared in the Des Moines Register. Standing, left to right: Zola, Witry, KTle n, Gallagher, Flamm. Stubing, Mares, Blake, Parker, Uvodich, Treacy, Ruetz, Zaleski, Ward, and Leyden. Crouching, left to right: Joyce, Murphy, Rohan, Moore, and Zahren. The man with the potent tossing arm is our own Coach Fromhart. ; TOM BLAKE — Hard driving, hard hitting and a fullback who doesn ' t like to be tackled, would be a good description of Tom. He ' s always a threat to the opposition—a consistent ground gainer. Hails from Chicago ' s great south side and did his prepping at Leo High—alma mater of many Loras greats. He ' s a sophomore this year and plans to major in Economics. BOB BUCZKIEWICZ — Red ' s a junior this year and has proven himself to be one of our best Q. B. ' s. His cool head and smart play making came through in many tight situations. He comes from Weber High School on Chicago ' s west side—known locally as the Fighting Irish. Red ' s affable nature makes him one of the most popular men on the team. GtORGE BURNS — Uncle Bulgy left us at the semesters, a graduate in Rnysical Education. George is well known for his war stories. He wasn ' t oil talk, though, as his exploits on the field show. He was great on de¬ fense and consistent on offense. George played from the fullback slot—the spot he held down at Mt. Carmel High in Chicago. (No picture) MARTY DREVES—Junior guard who played great ball this year. He ' s known as Bull to the boys and one look at him will tell you why. He majors in Mathematics, the reoson he knows his plays so well. Marty is one of the few Iowa boys on the squad—coming from Sioux City, way on the other side of loway. He has quite a reputation as a boxer, having won the College heavy-weight crown last year. DICK GALLAGHER —A great guy and a tireless worker, Stash is all business ond determination on the field—he played half the season with his wrist in a cast—a great defensive center. A Junior, he comes from St. Rito, a football powerhouse of Chicago ' s south side. LARRY FLAMM —A lanky, raw-boned junior end. A transfer student from Kentucky U. where he played his freshman year. While attending St. Rita High in Chicago ' s South Side, he lettered in both football and bas¬ ketball. He works as a cook on the Santa Fe during the summer. Favor¬ ite pastime—dating movie queens in California. His sports hero is Wah Wah Jones, an old teammate of his at Kentucky. TOM JEHL — Tommy the Toes was this year ' s extra point specialist. He has other qualities too, and is bound to develope into a fine field gen¬ eral. Tom ' s a sophomore this year—coming to us from Ft. Wayne, Indi¬ ana; proving that the Hoosier state turns out something besides basketball players. ROBERT JOYCE —Our honorcry captain and a senior, Bob has played great ball. Hampered by a bad shoulder last year, he still showed up well. He leaves a big hole at his tackle spot. Played at Leo High in Chicago. He plans to enroll in law school after graduation. DON KLEIN —A whirlwind on offense and a bear on defense, Don ' s a tackle. A junior, he ' s majoring in Economics—a consistent honor student. His home is Skokie, III. He was a four-monogram winner at St. George High in Evanston, III. Favorite relaxation: jazz music; has a sizeable collection of records. JIM KNOECHEL —A promising sophomore fullback, he comes from Lin¬ coln, in southern Illinois. Attending the local high school, Jim won recog¬ nition in football and track. During the summer he works in his father ' s grocery store—eating up the profits. He ' s quite a pianist—keeps the boys entertained. WALTER LEYDEN —Another senior and a regular end, Hook ' s got his nickname from the way he spears passes—or could it be from the way food disappears when it comes near him? Came from Chicago ' s St. R ita High, after a service stint. He ' s majoring in Education, and hopes to land a coaching job after graduation. MEN OF III 11H mm 1 111 m 2 IHlra II 11 ED MAHN —A transfer student from West Kentucky, Ed ' s played fine ball at his center spot. A Junior, he attended Calumet High on the south side of Chicago. He also served a hitch in the marines. His favorite pastime is driving his big blue Plymouth—home. ED MURPHY —Devoting this whole section to Dad wouldn ' t be hard. He ' s the best liked and most well known player on the team. He ' s the old¬ est, and one of two married men, having a fine two year old daughter. He comes from Chicago ' s Mt. Carmel High, also spent several years in the army. This is his last year as a regular guard—he ' ll really be missed. FRANCIS PARKER —A junior this year and our regular fullback—Fran packs a lot of punch in a small frame. He gained his high school ex¬ perience at Fenwick High in Oak Park, III. A good dresser, and a lover of Italian food, he ' s a great fan of the Chicago Bears and thinks George McAfee is tops. RALPH PETERSON —Our elusive regular left half, Pete has an ex¬ ceptionally speedy start. A great competitor, he hails originally from Skokie, III. He spent his school days at St. George High in Evanston, III. —served a stretch in the Navy. Pete ' s our other married man, and lives in Dubuque with his wife. He has another year of competition left. JACK ROHAN —A true all round athlete, he comes from Chicago ' s south side where he attended Mt. Carmel High. Specialized in basketball in high school, winning many honors. His football career; except for his senior year, began limited to college. Here at Loras he has lettered in football, basketball and baseball. He ' s a junior this year majoring in Economics. HOWARD RUETZ — Howie is the biggest man on the squad—he combines his bulk with speed and know-how. A Racine, Wis. boy, his exploits are well remembered at his alma mater—St. Catherine ' s. A junior in the field of Economics, his greatest pleasure comes from downing two or three steaks at one sitting. DICK MARES —A senior, small in stature and big in spirit, he has won four letters here at Loras and he has proven himself a halfback of high quality. Dick lives in Racine, Wisconsin and attended St. Catherine ' s High where he monopolized both basketball and football honors. A fine boxer, he was voted the best in the Intramural meet last spring. A senior, his plans include just one certain girl whom he claims to be a woman ' s man. BOB MILLER —Appendicitis knocked Bobo for a loop just before the St. Joe game—a feat on opposing lineman has yet to accomplish. He attend¬ ed St. George High in Evanston. Now a junior, he lives in Wilmette, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago. Reticent in nature, Bobo is friendly and has made many friends here at Loras. BILL MOORE —A product of Fenwick High School, Barrell ' hails from Chicago ' s far north side. He ' s in his third year and is our regular center.

The birth of a Loras freshmen football team was successful. Coach Vince Dowd, genial basketball mentor, took over the reins of directing the first year men on the grid¬ iron. The squad had a three game schedule, meeting Western Illinois B Team, Luther Frosh and St. Ambrose Freshmen. In their first game the Yearlings whip¬ ped the lllini Bees by a 20-7 count. Fred Hu¬ ber, speedy half-back from Monroe, Wis., was the individual star of the game, scoring two touchdowns. Gordy Kirk of Cuba City, Wis., also turned in a brilliant running per¬ formance. Coach Dowd ' s gridders traveled to Davenport for their second contest of the sea¬ son, but this time the Lorasmen came out on the short end of a 7-6 count. Quarterback Bob Bertsch scored the only touchdown for the Froshawks. In the season finale Luther ' s freshmen were victims of the Loras eleven by a 19-12 count.

For each of his five regulars topped the 200 mark in the scoring parade, an outstanding feat for a college cage team. And one of the Duhawks ' , Jumpin ' Jim McCabe, ranked among the top five indivi¬ dual scorers in the nation. This big six-foot, three-inch forward star was shattering records all season long. After 28 hardwood encount¬ ers, the Jumper closed the regular season with 614 points or a brilliant average of 21.9 points a game. Jack Rohan, hard-working Duhawk guard, was runner-up in the point-making department, scoring 340 points for a 12.1 average. Ernie Skraby concluded with 241 points, Gene Ternes netted 236 and Teddy Moskal rounded out the double century class with a 202 total. McCabe began his war on the record books toward mid-season. On January 14 the Loras ace ripped the cords for 34 points as his mates edged Westmar, 58-56. The next night at Fayette, Loras exploded for a 108-77 vic¬ tory over Upper Iowa University as Jim pour¬ ed a record 46 points through the hoop. The smashing victory clipped a total of seven records in the Iowa Conference. Jumpin ' Jim was content on holding his average around the 21-point mark for the rest of the month. On February 4 he set a new Midlands Conference single game scoring record, garnering a total of 35 points—his high for the season on the home court. All the while the Jumper was getting closer and closer to Mickey Marty ' s high season mark of 575 points. Jim erased that record from the books in the 27th game of the campaign. The Duhawks were playing St. Ambrose at Davenport. He needed nine points to tie the mark and 10 points to break it. He scored 22 and took over the crown as King of Loras ' all time offensive greats. Roy Enderlin, Coach Dowd ' s ace reserve star, was the sixth man in and out of op¬ ponents ' defenses throughout the season. Other reserves who saw considerable action were Marv Nemmers, Joe McCauley, Bob Voorhees and Jim Garvey. Lett to right: Moskal, Rohon, Enderlin, Ternes, McCabe Skrnhv Du ft .

The Duhawks, playing a long 27-game schedule, were victorious 19 times throughout the season, gaining the cage spotlight in the Midwest with a nine-game winning streak in January. With ten lettermen ready for action, the Dowdmobile received its first test of the season at the College of St. Thomas in St. Paul, but the five cylinders were cold as tne weather, dropping a 60-42 decision. From Minnesota tne Duhawks traveled to Wisconsin, tripping Platteville Teach¬ ers 60-55. Quincy opened the hardwood season in the Loras fieldhouse and fell before a smooth-running Duhawk quint, 81-67. Some lanky Texans from Houston University taught the Lorasmen southern-style basketball in the team s first intersectional encounter. Final score: Houston 65, Loras 5«. St. Joseph ' s Pumas were surprised to the tune of 73-59 as the Duhawks gained a Midlands Conference win. Simpson was taken for win number four. A strong St. Mary ' s five from Winona, Minn., slap¬ ped two consecutive defeats on the Loras record just before the Christmas holidays. Coach Dcwd adjusted the mechanics of his machine over the holiday season. When the Duhawks returned to post-holiday play, they had a record of four wins and four losses. However, before January ' s 31 days passed into ob¬ livion, the Dowdmen were riding high with a 13-5 mark A 79-73 overtime win over Western Illinois was the push that started the Lorasmen on a nine-game win streak. Following up the lllini victory, the Duhawks waged war on Iowa Conference northern division opponents. Luther s de¬ fending champions fell first, coming out on the short end of a 75-65 count. Buena Vista was the next league victim, 73-60. Simpson invaded Dubuque with a seven game win streak, but had it shattered by an 87-62 score. Westmar was foiled, 52-44. Playing on the road, Wartburg led for minutes of the contest, but the Duhawks managed to eke out a 58-56 decision in the final swing of the clock. Seven conference records fell as the Lorasmen routed Upper Iowa, 108-77. , c Coach Dowd ' s men returned home to face Iowa Mate Teacher ' s College. The Panthers were sent back to Cedar Falls with a 64-59 loss. Rivalry reached a peak as the cagers from St. Ambrose found themselves humiliated with a one- point 67-66 setback. The win streak was at nine straight when West Virginia State, an All-Negro team, halted the Lorasmen, 74-50. Three more games were added to the win column as the Duhawks tripped Luther, St. Norbert s, and Westmar. The Westmar victory cinched a tie for Northern division title honors in the Iowa loop. However, Buena Vista ended the Duhawk ' s mastery over Iowa Conference opponents with a 47-44 upset. An impressive 77-64 win over St. Joseph s at the Collegeville, Ind., fieldhouse all but sewed up the Mid¬ lands title for the Purple and Gold. Attempting to wrap up the northern division title in the Iowa conference, the Loras lads were handed their seventh loss of the season in a 73-67 overtime battle witn Wartburg. However, the Dowdmen made the title honor official two nights later against Upper Iowa, earning a 76- 43 verdict. , In the final two games of the season, the Purple and Gold gained a split. They lost to St. Norbert at DePere by a 85-77 score, but managed to trip the Ambrosians at Daven¬ port by one point again, 59-58.

The 1949-50 Duhawks earned both honors, boasting a terrific offensive at¬ tack which racked up a total of 1,898 points in 28 games. Coach Vince Dowd directed his cage machine to 20 wins in 28 games, one of the best small college records in this section of the midwest. In the Iowa loop the Lorasmen had a record of eight wins and two losses to win the northern half of the title. They proved their right to the crown by sweeping past Parsons, southern division champs, in a play¬ off match at Cedar Rapids. It was the first time in the history of the conference that a play-off game decided the 1C champ. The league is now divided into two divisions. In Midlands play the Dowdmen won five of six games to grab the top spot. The Duhawks won their first four games and then were handed the title by St. Ambrose who upset St. Norbert ' s, the only team that had a mathematical chance to tie the Purple and Gold. The Lorasmen accepted a bid to play in the second annual National Catholic In¬ vitation Basketball tournament held at Balti¬ more, Maryland, from March 15-19. By ac¬ cepting the NCIT bid, the Duhawks rejected a possible invitation as Iowa ' s representative at the NAIB tourney ot Kansas City.

The junior varsity members breezed through an eight game schedule without a setback under the direction of basketball mentor, Vince Dowd. Besides playing an eight game card throughout the hardwood campaign, the B ' s provided the practice competition for the varsity Duhawks. Three of the B team members—Bob Voor- hees, Joe McCauley and Paul Phelan—saw action with the regulars during the season. The Bees opened with a 53-42 victory over the Dubuque Knights of Columbus and then journeyed to Freeport for an engagement with the Legion team. The collegemen held off a late Freeport rally to earn a 52- 48 decision. Two city recreation teams, the Wynnes Rockets and KCs, fell before the rampaging Bees by scores of 58-51 and 36-30. Another repeat victory fol¬ lowed, as the varsity potentials stopped Freeport in the Loras fieldhouse, 54-51. In their sixth game of the sea¬ son the Beehawks taught their freshmen brothers how to play college basketball, racking up a 46-34 decision. Playing at Decorah, the Bees lowered the boom on the Luther Seconds in a high scoring encounter, 65-53. The final victory was a repeater over the Frosh of Coach Jean Schneider by a 46-33 score.

Chief scorer for the Yearlings was Forward Bill Spelz who averaged 7.6 points per game in scoring 84 points. Lionel Ganshirt, another forward candidate, was the number two man in the point column while Center Jerry Lattimer rounded out the top three.

A fine Loras sprint medley team composed of Bill Thinnes, Bill Treacy, Ron Ross and Bill Conrardy, captured many points and in¬ dividual honors at the nine scheduled meets. Running in the Drake Relays against the best in college competition, the Duhawk quartet pulled in a surprising third behind strong Compton College of California and highly- touted East Texas State. Their time was 3:23.5, a new Loras College record. Conrardy, anchor man of the rec¬ ord-breaking sprint medley relay foursome, was the individual star of the season. The ace miler was king in almost every meet the Duhawks entered and in his last test of the season at Milwaukee ' s Collegiate Central meet, Bill set a new Loras mile mark of 4:16.3 It was his best effort of the season as he ran second to Wisconsin ' s Don Gehrmann. Bill Rigney, another bright thinclad, had his specialty in the high hurdles while Joe Lahart set a new record in the low hurdles. Bob Voorhees established a new time for the 440-yard dash and was also a member of the mile relay team. Dave Connors tied the former high jump record of six-feet, one and three quarter inches while John D. Ryan threw the javelin 181 feet, eight and one-half inches for a new record.

Page One hundred nine y v ..M TENNIS AND GOLF The 1949 edition of Loras College ten¬ nis batted exactly .500, winning four sche¬ duled matches and dropping four, in addition to taking third honors in both the Iowa and Midlands Conferences. Coached by Father Cyril Reilly, Loras fielded a veteran aggregation in the court- sport, headed by C. J. Buelow. He is the only squad member who will not return this spring for the tennis ward, but team-mates Arnie Koester, Norb West, Jim Garvey, Jack Butler, Richard Ludwig, and Lou Letko will, so things are looking up for the 1950 season! Last year the squad opened up in top style by dumping Coe college of Cedar Rapids here, 5-1, early in April. The first entry in the deficit column was made by Iowa State Teachers 7 potent netmen, who edged the Du- hawk netters, 4-3, on the Dubuque courts. Saturday, April 30, saw them return tc the victors arena with a repeat win over Coe, this time by a 4-2 count. The following Tues¬ day, St. Ambrose invaded Dubuque with its courtmen and walked off with the first of two 4- 3 decisions, after the fighting Duhawks had battled the Bees right down to the wire. The Ambrosians repeated the feat later at Daven¬ port. A trip to Iowa Teachers brought re¬ sults no different from those here, as the netters were downed 4-3. Then Marquette took it on the chin here, 5-2. A road trip to Luther netted another victory, this time by a 5- 1 margin, and the Duhawks were ready for the Conference tourneys. They copped third place in both the conferences, as mentioned above, to com¬ plete the season. The 1949 golfers had what was prob¬ ably the best spring sports record on the campus when they completed their schedule last May, having won seven of ten regularly scheduled matches, second in both the Iowa and Midlands Conferences, and fifth in the All-College tourney sponsored by Iowa State College. Harry Fee, Bobby Jordan, John Stone- man, and Tony Kjellgren were the boys who did the business last year, consistently bang¬ ing out top notch golf to earn a .700 average for the season. Their constant brand of golf under the tutelage of Coach Lester Becker saw them do well in the toughest of competi¬ tion, all season long. Of this first four, only Stoneman will be ava ilable to Coach Becker this year, indi¬ cating the tough job which he will face in molding a top golf team this year. Their season last year opened with a victory over Coe here in Dubuque at the Bunker Hill links, site of all their matches last year. St. Ambrose balanced the won-lost columns for them by outpointing them at Davenport, 17 1 2-6 1 2 in an April 21 match, Iowa Teachers followed that with a 9V2-5V2 beating. They got back into the win column by dumping the Platteville Miners here in Du¬ buque, then copped fifth place at the Iowa College meet. Sweet revenge was theirs on May 3 when they edged the visiting Bees of Davenport, 11 to 10, with some fine perfor¬ mances by Jordan, Kjellgren, and Hendrick. Then came another win over Coe, fol¬ lowed in quick succession by a loss to Iowa Teachers, the Iowa Conference meet, two vic- tories over Luther, and another trouncing of the Platteville Miners.

A large year round intramural program under the direction of Coach Al Schramm highlights the athletic activities on the campus. Round robin play in each sport is followed by tournament play-offs with the top teams in each league in competition. All play-off champions in each sport compete annually in the big Midlands Extramural tournament. This year ' s tourney was held here at Loras late in March. Highlight of the fall sports agenda was touch football and volleyball. In touch football, the Tanks captured the upper class league title during regular season play. They completed play with 15 victories in 16 games. Their most important victory was a 13-6 decision over the previously unbeaten Celtics. The 79ers took the fresh¬ men loop honors. The Celtics, however, won the play- offs. , Eight teams were selected to compete in the play-offs at the completion of the regular season. They included the Tanks, Celtics, Moochers, Shuvits, Cru¬ saders, Eagles, Pat Kremer ' s Boys, and the 79ers. The Celtics, defending their title from the past season, came back in the final game of the tourney to edge the Eagles by a 7-6 count. Members of the chompion Celtics include Chuck Evans, Herb Conway, Bob Phillippi, Frank Fisher, Jack Carlin and Jim McCabe. The Night Owls were definitely the champs in the Volleyball competition, sweeping through the regu¬ lar season with eight straight victories. Then in one night of play-off competition they subdued all con¬ tenders to gain all the laurels in the sport. The team included Lou Letko, Marv Nemmers, Arnie Koester, John Murphy, Ron Hagen, Bud Ross, Gene Ternes and Jim McCabe. At the end of the football season six mural players were placed on an All-Star team. They included Jim Comiskey, Marv Nemmers and Lou Letko of the Crusaders; Bob Voorhees of the Eagles, Bill Sweeney of the Celtics and Dave Connors of the Tanks. Lou Letko gained the singles championship of the tennis program, defeating Bob Larkin in the finals. In the doubles title on the outside court, Letko teamed with Tom Nash to gain the championship. In the horseshoe competition Carl Ottavi and Charlie Stark slapped the ringer on the doubles title while Ottavi was singles king. Bill Gerk joined forces with Don Pletchette to spike the ping pong title. Gerk was singles title holder. Norb West was awarded the handball cham¬ pionship when Bud Ross who was also a finalist had to default because of an injured leg. On the winter sports program bowling and bas¬ ketball highlighted play. Fifty-five basketball teams were submitted for court play while an additional 39 bowling rosters were lined up on the alleys. Three teams—Cats, Double Eagles and Windy City Boys—tied for first place in the regular round robin of play in the boarder basketball league. They each finished with identical records of nine wins against a single defeat. The Gunders finished strong to take second place wth a 9-2 record. In the off campus loop, the Myxkylpyts rated number one with 10 victories in 1 1 games. The Sockers were runner-up, boasting but two losses in 1 2 encount¬ ers. The Eagles were the best bowlers in either league, winning 22 contests while dropping a lone tilt. The Sportsmen were second in the boarder loop with a record of 17-1. In off-campus bowling competition the Mahdeds and Big Five were the big pair. The former had a 14-1 mark while the Big Five had 11 victories against three losses. Two All-Star basketball teams were named at the close of the regular season. The off-campus All- Stars included Don Kaliban, Andy Bellandier, Frank O ' Brien, Jim Chapman, and Lou McDonough. The boarder loop All-Stars were John DesMarteau, Marv Mauel, Tom Blake, Doug Venne and Joe Wagner. i J Page One hundred Eleven INTRAMURALS A quick look at these two pages would convince anyone that Loras College has a v ' ery good intramural program. A longer look would show the same person that it was a very diversified program. But only a student at Loras who benefits from it can tell you how truly outstanding it is. And he would be the first to give credit where credit is due, to Coach Al Sch ramm, tne mastermind of the whole program. There can be no doubt that the Loras intramural program is one of the finest, if not the finest in the midwest. Every student has unlimited opportunities to take part in well organized systematically run schedules in any one of the following sports: Football, basketball, volleyball, handball, ping-pong, tennis, bowl- mg, golt horseshoe, and twelve or sixteen inch softball. The credit has to go to Moose. His ong hours, careful planning, and interested overseeing of the intramural program all go to make it what it is. Top-notch sports pro¬ grams just don t happen, they are made, so ere s hats off to the man who makes Loras ' wnat it is, Coach Al Schramm. The mastermind of the top-notch Lora ' . Mural program.

SPOKESMAN The Loras College Spokesman was another of the campus activities to undergo a year of decision, a year of some strife, and overall, a year of accomplishment. In its position as the oldest publication on campus, the literary quar¬ terly is bound by rather stringent, uniform requirements as to make-up. This year ' s staff made several endeavors to escape the old ties, and met with varying degrees of success. As of old, it contained essays, short stories, poetry, reviews of the theatre, local and abroad, and articles of historical matter concerning Loras College. This was much like the other issues of the past forty-eight years, but several innovations were not. The staff brought forth a January issue which flaunted a goodly num¬ ber of cartoons in the faces of those who hated to see the old format go by the boards. The reaction was not favorable, and subsequent issues were more like their predecessors. Examples of the subject matter appearing in the Spokesman are best given by quotation of titles taken at random from the year ' s issues: Lady Nester ' s Dilemma, Report on Darkness, The Aristocrat, The Man in the Snow, and College Football, 1907-1949. These, and others like them, with the addition of the above-mentioned art work, made up the bulk of the matter printed during the past year. Any review of the year attempts to evaluate the results of effort ex¬ pended on the Spokesman, must take into account the following disadvantages under which the staff labored. Primarily, they had printing difficulties. It was literally impossible for them to secure punctual delivery of the magazine, despite all and every move the staff made to meet the deadlines and the like. Secondly, they had no office about wh.ch to center their activities. It would seem that credit, rather than any detraction, is due them for the work com¬ pleted and the innovations attempted despite these drawbacks. The personnel for the past year included Richard Fay and Thomas O ' Malley as co-editors, and David Schmid as the business manager. Com¬ pleting the staff were James Bitter, Cyril Blong, James Croker, Bernard Dougherty, John Friedell, Richard Hebert, Terence Spencer, and guest writers Frederic Syburg and Robert McKillip. Page One hundred s.xteen STUDENT SENATE The history of the Loras College Stu¬ dent Senate in the past has been all too often capable of summation in the old proverb, If at first you don ' t succeed, try, try again. But this year, things were different . . . Better late than never. In a more serious vein, great credit is due to the members of the Student Senate this year, for they did make unquestioned ad¬ vances in policy, stature, and student leader¬ ship. Probably the biggest project of the year was the composition and adoption of a new Constitution for the Senate. Under the able leadership of President John Tierney, senior class senator, Senate veterans Jim Kelly, John Gallagher, Jim Brown, and John Pritz com¬ bined to write the new Constitution. The other major accomplishment of the Senate was in the social field, when it suc¬ ceeded in sponsoring a Saturday night mixer after the Loras-lowa Teachers game. This affair established a precedent which saw three such well attended mixers on almost successive Saturday evenings. The membership which accomplished these things consisted in the four senators elected by each of the four classes, plus the four class presidents, and the head of each organization or publication on campus, a total of some thirty-five men. As mentioned above, the Senate did get a very late start this year, with not so much as one meeting called during the first semester, but when it did get into gear, the group really caught fire and moved. Much of the activity and vitality is probably due to the fine officers chosen. John Tierney did his usual fine job, as president, while Dick Mares served as Vice-President, and Dewie Gaul as Secretary-Treasurer. All three were Seniors. Father E. P. Sullivan was moderator. The elected class representatives were Seniors—Jim Brown, Dewie Gaul, Dick More s, Dave Schmid, and John Tierney. Jun¬ iors—John Gallagher, Jim Kelly, Jim Mc¬ Cabe, Marv Nemmers, and Howie Ruetz. Sophomores—Jack Crombie, Phil Falvey, Joe McGuill, Don Miller, and Jerry O ' Leary. Freshmen—Maurice Blake, Dick Kingsbury, John Page, John Quinn, and Barry Rigney.

I A I rx fir i i Page One hundred seventeen If- . p u r e HISTORY ... of a sort. The 1950 PURGOLD has been best called the six week wonder. We ' re rather proud of that name, particularly as it reminds us of all those who have helped us finish in that record time. We owe thanks to a lot of people- To Father Sullivan, our moderator ... to the staff members, bless ' em ... to the crew at the Hruska Studio ... to Mr. Barrett of the Pontiac Co. ... to everyone who helped us in anyway . . . and above all, to Father Craney, without whose friendly advice, financial guidance and backing, the 1950 PURGOLD would have been impossible. All of which began in the middle of January with the timely ap¬ pointment of two editors and a business manager. That ' s when the fun began. Such a hectic cycle of events Loras won ' t see again for some time . . . we like to think. There was running down pictures, taking pictures, writing out of town for pictures, geting individual pictures, and, oh yes, some writing. We need¬ ed a staff, and all of our friends learned to say No when we approached. There was need of engraving and printing . . • Pontiac, of Chicago, to the rescue, and there was one trip to Chicago. And now it ' s all over. It doesn ' t seem nearly so bad in retro¬ spect—in fact we say now that it was fun. rhe cameramen and the ar- 5.

It is now 3:46 of a Thursday morning, March 2, 1950. Here sit Kelly and Finucan (Galla¬ gher went to bed, the slacker), finishing off the 1950 PURGOLD. May we say a few words about our staff? Tomor¬ row, everything must be into Chicago. The staff was wonderful. The hours were long, and the thanks were short. But their hearts were equally large, and their self-consideration small. Again we owe a lot of thanks. To Bob O ' Riley, for his typing—routed out of bed early and late, with no complaints. To Harlan Soppe, for keeping tabs on the photography. Art Roraff, who didn ' t get out of the darkroom this morning until 1:15 .. . John Longtin, for his prodigious pen . . . likewise Fred Miller for his sketches on the football players . . . Harry McBride, for innumerable odd jobs .. . to John Tierney, for his yeoman service in a double capacity, editorial and business ... to Jim Gorman, for not getting mad when people thought our sloppy posters were his work . . . Jocko Lalley and Jim Schlueter for their car¬ toons . . . and we couldn ' t forget Bob McKillip, our one-man sports staff ... to all of the business staffers, for all of those shoes they wore out ... to Gene McIntyre and Dick Evans for fine pictures, well taken ... to Jerry Walsh, for a little of everything . . . and again, to everyone who helped us. It was a big job, but well worth it, we think. At this hour of the morning you get rather dreamy. We can ' t help but think of all those guys wearing the PURGOLD shirt and tie for their picture . . . the cracks of our room¬ mates that they thought we ' d moved off campus . . . coming in from the office at 4:30 ... all those trips downtown . . . and so forth. And we really couldn ' t forget our advertisers. This book would cost you double were it not for their support and back¬ ing where it counts ... in the bank. So once again . . . our thanks to everyone. Editor Jim Kelly, Business Manager John Gallagher, and Editor Tom Finucan compare the old with the new. Here are the men who did the business, the whole PURGOLD staff assembled for your in¬ spection. fjW IF 1 r i 4 ▼ L ft hmHIv m ‘ a v i % • Wf WM ' 1 — j ft ' f A ’ fx . k H Monogram Club prexy Jim McCabe doesn ' t seem nearlv as handy with a coil of wire as he is with a basketball.

Dick Gallagher and Ed Hol¬ land seem to be enjoying Ed Murphy ' s scrapbook, while the great man himself turns coyly away. These three, with Matt Hartigan, a mid-year graduate, served as Chicago Club of¬ ficers for the past year. MONOGRAM CLUB Composed only of those students who have earned a major L at Loras, the Mono¬ gram club, because it is composed of men o f sport, has been a great booster of sports¬ manship m the past year of 49- 50. The mem bers of the club wholehearted- y offered their combined efforts toward the successful termination of many projects sug¬ gested in the past year by Father Reilly, mo¬ derator of the Club. Notable among the ac¬ complishments of the club was their valuable aid during the Homecoming activities. The entire club worked diligently to produce one of the most beautiful floats for the Home¬ coming parade in Loras history. Members of the club greatly enjoyed a movie of the ' 49 football season of Notre Dame which was shown at one of the Club ' s meetings. Officers for the year as elected by the members were: President, Jim McCabe; vice- president, Bill Moore; Secretary, Tom Maney; Treasurer, Don Klein. CHICAGO CLUB During the 49- , 50 school term, the Loras Chicago Club so enjoyed its second year of active organization as to finally claim an honored position among the other popular student organizations. Led by Father Brady as moderator and Ed Murphy as President, the club most suc¬ cessfully fulfilled its aim, to foster interest in Loras College and the general welfare of the student body as a whole ' by sponsoring several activities. Act ivities commenced with participa¬ tion of the Club members in a special re¬ ception of Chicago Alumni during the Home¬ coming celebrations. The Club ' s activities climaxed, just as last year, during the Christmas vacation when the Club cooperated with the Chicago unit of the Alumni Association in sponsoring the Christmas dance in Chicago for the benefit of members and their guests. A popular date dance at Chicago after the formal closing of the school term is plan¬ ned to terminate this successful year of or¬ ganization. Page One hundred twenty ND A college organization which is both seen and heard, and seen and heard often is the College band. Its members and leader are as hard a working group as can be found on campus, putting in long hours of practice in addition to appearances at every basketball and football game, plus any other occasion needing a dash of color. Professor Vaughn Gayman and his men are always ready, and they have to be, be¬ cause no one ever bothers to tell them what ' s going to happen until half an hour before a long and strenuous program is to be present¬ ed. Their year is highlighted by the two an¬ nual concerts, at Christmas and in the spring, and the trips to out of town games. This year the band blared forth at St. Ambrose in February, and made a second ap¬ pearance at the Conference playoffs in Cedar Rapids. No one who hasn ' t seen a game dur¬ ing the Christmas vacation can appreciate the pep and color that the band adds to any athletic contest. Their reportoire is extensive, ranging from Tiger Rag to Overture 1812, with stops for Lassus Trombone and Begin the Beguine Here ' s graphic evidence that our band does practice. That ' s Director Vaughn Gayman with the stick and the serious look. Their marches are justly famous, for the band has as wide a selection of martial music as can be found. Its members are proud to be band mem¬ bers, since there is never a dull moment where Mr. Gayman is to be found. The Loras band rehearsals are something which couldn t be matched elsewhere, a potent mixture of fun and business which results in fine music for all college events. Of course, no comment on the band would be complete if it failed to mention the most unusual feature of the band—its come¬ dy stunts. The famed Elite Ensemble, the Hill Country Boys, and the Bare-Foot Band have all graced a rollicking concert stage at one time or another. An audience never knows what to expect next from the prolific Mr. Gayman. Our hats are off to the director and the members for a difficult job, well done. The Loras College Concert Band in session at its annual Christmas program in the Clarke College auditorium. LORAS The Glass Menagerie , by Tennessee Williams, opened this year ' s season for the Loras College Players, directed by Father Schroeder. Heading a cast of four was Mary Ann Kaep, a veteran of many plays. She portrayed the dominating mother of a St. Louis slum household, handling the part as the compe¬ tent actress she is. A newcomer to the Loras stage, John Brennan, effectively portrayed Tom, son and provider for the family. A splendid perfor¬ mance as Laura, the shy and backward daughter, was given by Polly Renier, a second newcomer to the Loras stage. The part of the gentleman caller was taken by Roger Cerutti, capably completing a good cast. A change to English customs and man¬ ners was brought about by the dramatization of Jane Austen ' s Emma , which was esDeci- ally adapted and directed for the Loras stage by Father Donohue. Katie McCarthy turned in a fine per¬ formance as Emma, the young lady so adept at fixing romances for other people. Mc- Knightly, Emma ' s most severe critic, was well played by Terry Spencer, who did a fine job in a difficult role. Robert Amundsen smoothly handled the role of Mr. Woodhouse, Emma ' s invalid father. He is another veteran of the Loras stage. Minor parts in the play were equally well cast and portrayed. Life With Mother , Clarence Day ' s hilarious book adapted for the stage by Lind¬ say and Crouse, was the third play of the season. John D. Tumpane, new faculty mem¬ ber of the Loras Speech Department, directed the fast moving comedy. Heading the cast of sixteen was Marian Goodman, in the title role. She was Vinnie Day, the understanding wife and mother. Her playing of the part evidenced complete un¬ derstanding and poise. Terry Spencer was excellent in his role as the father who was always interested in how the stock market was going. The rest of the family were Thomas Wolf, James Hoppin- john, Richard Runde, and John Cavanaugh. The minor parts were again well taken. The Loras Players ' final production for the season was to have been City of Kings, by the Rev. Urban Nagle, O. P., a life of St. Martin DePorres STAGE CREW As in all theatrical companies, much of the success of the Loras Players can be at¬ tributed to the stage crew.

The ictian PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF LORAS COLLEGE _ Dubuque. Iowa. February 1950 Number S If an award were to be presented each year to the club or activity showing the most improvement and genuine progress during a given school year, the Lorian would win it hands down for 1949-50! There can be no doubt that the amaz¬ ing transformation effected in our hitherto uninteresting school paper is deserving of the highest praise for Lorian editor, Jack Powell. In his first year on the paper, the paper doubled in size, but more important, it grew tremendously in regard to the matter contain¬ ed and the way it was presented. Modern in every way this year, it fea¬ tured a front page devoted entirely to pic¬ tures, in the approved tabloid style. Inside, sports editor Bob McKillip drew favorable comment for his top-notch sports section, while news editor Jim Barta saw to it that no campus event went by unmentioned. Features were numerous and interest¬ ing, with the talented pens of Dick Wertzber- ger, John Gorman, and Fred Miller all making contributions in this department. But the highest praises must be reserv¬ ed for the editor himself, Mr. Powell. For dar¬ ing an occasional jab at campus soft-spots, or for injecting a timely cartoon, he was often under fire. But his determination to see the Lorian become a first class college newspa¬ per, with the emphasis on news, saw him through and earned him the sincere admira¬ tion of the campus. Other members of the staff all made their contributions, from ad men to mail¬ ers, to most lowly reporter. Their names and their accomplishments are too numerous for mention here. Again, a final word of praise for the Lorian . . . the campus ' most improved activi¬ ty for 1949-50! It isn ' t polite to point, but you know these journalists . . .

CLERICS Representing a new record in Loras his¬ tory, eighty clerical students once again en¬ joyed the opportunity of attending a liberal arts college while preparing for the priest¬ hood during this past school year of 49- 50. The twenty-eight Junior clerics and the fifty-two Senior clerics, designated as first and second year philosophy students respec¬ tively, represented various dioceses through¬ out the Midwest. Among the several states re¬ presented were Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and even Alaba¬ ma. With Father Ament as Moderator, the clerics served as minor ministers on the Cha¬ pel altar at the various ceremonies through¬ out the year. Senior clerics served as Master of Ceremonies at Solemn High Mass on Sun¬ day. The activities of the Clerical Society climaxed during Holy Week ceremonies at St. Raphael ' s Cathedral. After taking part in Tenebrae services on Wednesday and Holy Thursday evenings, these pre-seminary stu¬ dents fittingly concluded Holy Week services on Good Friday by actively participating in the Tre Ore services. From their rising to the exhortator s Benedicamus Domino to their evening prayers, the daily lives of the clerics exempli¬ fied the Cathloic spirit prevalent at Loras. From their visit to the Chapel at 6.15, through their meditation following this, through their attendance at daily Mass and daily visits to the Chapel, these clerical stu¬ dents fulfilled the For God division ot Loras ' motto, For God and Country. Poge One hundred twenty-five are the members of the Glee Club, ir in concert, thirty-nine strong glee club Another student aggregation founde ye ° r Lor °s is the Glee Club, which under the direction of Rev. Albert L. Carmai s popularity was immediately evidenced t the large enrollment, for the club alreac boasts forty members. While the Vested Choir sings exclusivi ly liturgical music, the Glee Club emphasiz( e lighter, semi-classical types of song. The Club ' s activities this year include a public appearance at the organ conce given by Father Carman in late Februar P,°; c ° m bined as a mixed chorus with tf Uarke College glee club, they participated i the bpring music festival of Iowa Cathol Colleges held at Loras and Clark colleges Looking to the future, the Glee Club already planning a musical stage show f( he Fall of 1950.

Albert Caiman, Director VESTED V CHOIR The school year of 1949-50 saw the 45th annual version of one of the oldest and most esteemed organizations at Loras, the Vested Choir. Forty-five students, under the direction of Rev. Albert L. Carman, comprise this group, whose main object is to foster a thorough understanding and appreciation of polyphonic liturgical music. A division of the Choir is the Schola, whose purpose is to sing the Gregorian prop¬ ers of the Mass; its membership is not per¬ manent, but continually changes to give all the members the experience. The main function of the Vested Choir is to sing at the Solemn High Mass in the college Chapel each Sunday, and at the im¬ portant Pontifical ceremonies in St. Raphael Cathedral, especially on Palm Sunday. Other activities include an annual Spring tour. The Choir, token before the main altar of Christ the King Chapel.

Working in close harmony with the Dean of Men, Father Sullivan, who is also mo¬ derator of the group, they have aided the Stu¬ dent Senate in its dances after Saturday night games, have helped the IFTA in the same fashion, and helped with the movies and dances of the year. The committee ' s major project each year is the annual Spring Prom, the top social event of the college year. Jacques Desmarteau was chairman this year, of the Social Committee. The other group, headed by Bill O ' Neill, which works and works hard on college social affairs, is the Decorations Committee. Theirs is the task of doing everything from putting up Christmas trees to installing false ceilings in the cavernous reaches of the field house to transform it into a ballroom. Its members must be creative artists and hard workers at one and the same time. Probably the job next in difficulty to the Spring Prom is the Homecoming Ball. The members thought hard and came up with a glittering background for the affair, featur¬ ing a rotating L which was set in the middle of the floor. The students appreciation goes to the members of the Social and Decoration Com¬ mittees. The Decoration Committee plans the Prom decor. Front, left to right, Mclnnis, O ' Neill, Knott, and Kvidero.

Page One hundred twenty-eight Our photographer assures us that back of this mob there are members of the CSMC busily engaged in slaking the thirst of the mobs at a basketball game. CATHOLIC STUDENTS MISSION CRUSADE Another of the CSMC ' s activities was their Clothing Drive, in which all the mem¬ bers combined to work hard and success¬ fully for a worthy cause. Purely a service organization, the Cath¬ olic Students Mission Crusade devotes all its activities to the raising of funds for charitable purposes with the added intention of promot¬ ing student interest in Mission works. The Loras unit is part of a nation-wide federation organized on all levels of education; elemen¬ tary, secondary, and college. Aside from its operation of the conces¬ sions at the athletic events, the unit serves the missions by its other projects: a mission auction, a clothing drive for overseas stu¬ dents, and the selling of calendars. The money or clothing articles derived from these activities is donated to the various missions, both at home and abroad. Moderated by Father Ament, the Cru¬ saders were org anized to carry out the pro¬ jects as efficiently as possible. Heading the group were president Ray Grimes, vice-presi¬ dent Tom Donohoe, and secretary-treasurer Mert McMahon, with John Heles as Activities Chairman.

Jerry Gute and bTD oltal R ° di ° C ' Ub in ° Cti0n - Left f ° right: Bi Wolsh ' HAWKS This group is one which has had a ra¬ ther spotty history, characterized by periods of great activity, then periods of equally great inactivity. Its officers have made sincere ef¬ forts to bring flying within the reach of the average college student, but have met with unusual difficulties. Primarily, flying is expensive business, no matter how you go about it. Airplanes are as expensive as cars to purchase, and more expensive to maintain. This the club found out rapidly, despite cooperative division of expenses. But problems really begin when your airplane is piled up, and that ' s what happen¬ ed to the Hawks. What the members didn ' t do to the plane, visiting windstorms did. Their plane now reposes, wingless, in a local back¬ yard, a most inglorious end for a plane which members once flew to Florida in one of the club ' s active periods. In all honesty, it must be stated that the club is now in an inactive period. The of¬ ficers who have endeavored to counteract this lethargy during the past year are Gene Schlickman,, Bob McCauley, Gene Sk weres, and Gil Copper. RADIO CLUB Although a club appealing to a very limited number of the students enrolled in the college, the Loras Radio Club can claim an interested membership second to none on the campus. There seems to be something about the radio bug which bites and holds hard. The members of the club really get genuine en¬ joyment, plus a good deal of practical know¬ ledge in electrical engineering and in radio. Through their operation of the campus short¬ wave station, WOZMW, they have every op¬ portunity to put theory into practice. Headed this year by Bill Dostal, Jerry Guter, and Bill Walsh, who are shown below in the club ' s shack , it enjoyed a successful year. Through their memberships in the American Relay League, the Iowa Emergency Net, and the Midwest College Round-table, they hove made radio friends throughout the country, and have made known the name of the college in many far off areas. The aims of the group are to teach its members, experienced or amateur, basic radio theory, the complete International Code, and how to actually construct and operate radio equipment. Some of its members maintain or operate the college public-address systems, while others busy themselves in never ceasing attempts to perfect the club ' s equipment. Their radio station is fully legal, having been approved of last year by the Federal Communications Commission.

Com¬ mittee members are, left to right, Paul Spaight, Leo King, Father Barrett, Joe Stark, Marc O ' Brien, George Tegeler, and John Fleming. DELTA SIGMA Of the total enrollment at Loras, the off-campus students comprise a large ma¬ jority. Delta Sigma was created to serve this group, the purpose being indicated in the club ' s name itself. The Greek letters, Delta and Sigma, are the Greek equivalents to our d and s . D.S.—day students. Because of the size of the organization —the largest at Loras—its many functions are in the hands of a central committee. On it were Joe Stark, Marc O ' Brien, Paul Spaight, John Fleming, George Tegeler, and Bob Campbell, working with Father Norbert Bar¬ rett as moderator. These men worked toward the enrichment of the social and religious lives of their fellow Delta Sigs. As a supplement to the religious activi¬ ties of its members, Delta Sigma sponsored occasional retreats. On such retreats a small group would spend a few days at New Mel- leray, the Trappist monastery just west of Dubuque. Of a more social nature, several smok¬ ers were held during the year. These informal get-togethers provided the members with a fine opportunity for getting acquainted with one another, an opportunity especially appre¬ ciated by incoming freshmen. In addition, dances like the Initiation Dance and the Sweetheart Ball were given throughout the year. The Delta Sigma ' s major project for this year wes their annual formal, held in February. A fine crowd attended. Page One hundred thirty-one CURIA In our present-day American society every man finds that a certain skill in public speaking is of vital necessity to him in com¬ municating with his fellow citizens effective¬ ly. This need had been recognized by the Loras faculty and incorporated into the cur¬ riculum. However, for those who feel that they would like to gain additional experience in this field the Curia is organized. To accomplish these ends the Curia holds a weekly meeting at which various phases of public speaking—informal discus¬ sion, debate, and speechmaking—are studied and participated in. The meetings are held according to parliamentary procedure and topics of a literary or educational nature are discussed, both of which factors add to the general profit of the members. A pleasant highlight of the year was the spring steak-fry at Eagle-Point Park where tne orators received an opportunity to vent their eloquence in a more natural setting. Drawing on his own experience, Father J. Kenneth Downing proved an effective and helpful moderator. Elected officers were Tcm Finucan, president, Richard McKoskey, vice president, and James Barta, secretary. The Curia officers smile in tne ap¬ proved fashion for the cameraman.

The final blessing at the reception of new members into the Third Order of St. Francis. DOMINICANS ... FRANCISCANS THE THIRD ORDER OF ST. FRANCIS The universal organization wnich the Third Order is today results from the foresight of a man who lived seven centuries ago tor at that time St. Francis of Assisi realized the need for an organization to provide tr.e lay¬ man with an opportunity for self-perfection. His wisdom can be seen from A I ne 9 rou P s present membership of 4,000,000. The Franciscan way of life and the 14 rules of that life set down by the Poor Man of Assisi are the phases of his teaching being studied this year by the Loras body. _ Directing the Tertiaries were tne Pre¬ fect, Pat Waite, the Novice Master, John Tierney, and the Secretary-treasurer, Bob Cody. Father L. J. Enzler acted as moderator. THE THIRD ORDER OF ST. DOMINIC The words Christian Perfection are interpreted in their most all-inclusive sense as the ideal of The Third Order of Penance of St. Dominic. Christian Perfection: the total of Christian Virtue, the means with which the Christian endeavors to reach his heaven. The Third Order presents itself as a truly effectual instrument for the attainment of this goal, thru its personal observances—e. g., the wearing of the scapular, daily Mass attend¬ ance and recitation of the Rosary—and its collective activities, such as a weekly com¬ pline and monthly general meeting. Elected were Mert McMahon as prior, Paul Bender as sub-prior, and Paul Murphy as novice-master. Jim Clift was appointed secretary-treasurer and the Rev. Joseph Mal- vey, O. P., was moderator. Page One hundred thirty-three I. F. T. A The big wheels ' 7 at the Regional Con¬ vention of the Iowa Future Teachers As¬ sociation, to which Loras was host last fall. As a member of the Iowa Future Teach¬ ers Association, an organization which keeps its sections up to date on the latest trends of modern education, the Loras Chapter par¬ ticipated in a large number of activities of a state-wide character as well as completing many projects of its own. On the intersectional level, this chap¬ ter attended four conventions: the autumn Northeast Iowa Regional Convention, held here at Loras in October with eight colleges attending; the December State Convention at Des Moines, the Delegate Assembly in Fe¬ b ruary, also at Des Moines; and the spring Regional at Cedar Falls in March. Then, among the activities here at school, the group received lectures from such educators as Mr. Thomas Hurm and Mr. Leo McDonnough, both of whom spoke on the problems of the young teacher. Another typical activity was a panel discussion on the Modern Junior High School, given at Jef¬ ferson Junior High School. A president and vice-president were elected each semester. First semester presi¬ dent and vice-president v ere Gillis Gerleman and Gilbert Copper; second semester, Al May and Francis Hays. The full-term offices of treasurer and secretary were held by Leo Koester and John Tierney. Mr. Anton Stech- ticky was moderator. Heading the IFTA for the past year were Frank Hays as President, Leo Koester as Treasurer, Alois May as Vice- President, Mr. Anton Slech- ticky, moderator, and John Tierney was Secretary Thom¬ as Moroney served as Regional Vice-President of the IFTA.

Thus the group asked mem¬ bers of the faculty like Father Fried¬ man Msgr. Luby, and Mr. Gayman to -mea ' k for them. The speakers topics S w P ere respectively, Goethe,” New Roads in Old Dominion, and Pres¬ ent-day Radio Music. Then the stu¬ dents themselves organized panel discussions on similar subjects. One such dealt with ' ' Modern Music vs. Classical. USHERS The ushers—you could find them at every football or basketball game, every play, in fact all the major acti¬ vities held at Loras. Neatly and ef¬ ficiently they did their job of handing out programs, managing seating ar¬ rangements, and in general represent¬ ing Loras courtesy to the public, and asked no more in return than a well- deserved sense of personal satisfac¬ tion. Rate them high in the services- rendered column. Moderating the hard-working group was Father Philip Hamilton and the head usher was Dominic Halloran. Page One hundred thirty-five SODALITY The Loras College Sodality enjoyed dur¬ ing the past year what was probably one of the best years such a group has ever had at Loras College. Under capable leadership, and with excellent officers, its activities this past year extended into many new fields, in which success was invariably forthcoming. To accomplish such projects, the Sodal¬ ity is organized into five committees: Apos¬ tolic, Eucharistic, Our Lady ' s, Catholic Truth, and Publicity. These five function under the leadership of the prefect and the moderator, working as a unified whole, but with each having some particular function to perform, be it passing out literature or providing enter¬ tainment for orphans. You see pictured below some of the out¬ standing work which was accomplished this year by the group. Personally, each Sodalist places himself under the special protection of the Blessed Virgin; he receives many indulgences; and he snares in the prayers of millions of his fellow Sodalists. The opportunities for spiritual growth and gain are numerous. For others, he sets himself the ideals of sanctification of neighbor, of self, and de¬ fense of the Church, all through special de¬ votion to Mary. Keeping these personal ideals in mind, the Sodalist, of course, engages in at least one of the committee activities, and in all of the group activities, social, spiritual, and the like. A brief list of projects carried on must include the sponsorship of a daily student Rosary, the sale of religious Christmas cards, sale of proper Mass books, and cooperation with the Mariology committee of the N. F. C. C. S. Heading the group in this large and var¬ ied program during the past year was Donald Zenk, as prefect. He was assisted by Francis Vasquez, Pat Bacon, and John Heles, as vice¬ prefect, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. Moderator for the Sodality was Father Urban Churchill.

CAMERA CLUB One of the newer and more popular or¬ ganizations on the campus is the Camera club, which was organized by Rev William G Most in the Fall of 1947. Its purpose is to encourage and help those students who ore interested in photgraphy as an art, a science, or a hobby. Twice a month the twenty-five members hold meetings, which consist of discussions on various types and techniques of photogra¬ phy, talks given by members, and, frequently, slide-illustrated lectures provided by the East¬ man Kodak Company. Experience in develop¬ ing negatives is offered in the club ' s private dark room The activities of the club include Fall and Spring field days and tnree print contests. The members also operate a concession pic¬ ture servrce at the school dances. LABOR CLUB The Labor Club originated in Novem¬ ber, 1949, under the leadership of John E. Pritz and Eugene F. Schlickman, for the pur¬ pose of giving interested students a broader scope of labor problems, labor economics, etc. The new club claimed 15 members, mostly upperclass Economics majors. The of¬ ficial elections were held in the Spring, but the results were not available at the time of this book ' s printing. Every Wednesday the members conven¬ ed to discuss current problems, and at several meetings Rev. Edmund A. Kurth, the group ' s faculty moderator, gave talks on the Encycli¬ cals Condition of Labor and Reconstruc¬ tion of the Social Order. It is the confident hope of the members that the Labor Club will become an imoortant and permanent Loras College institution.

Hilaire Belloc is widely ac¬ claimed the greatest living master of English. His writings constitute a golden treasure of thought, culture, and truth. The staff present this rather unusual feature in the hope that some of our readers will become acquainted with this author in this way. These Two Pages . . . have been donated by an in¬ terested person, who wishes to remain anonymous. The donor expressed the wish that the pages con¬ tain selections from the works of Hilaire Belloc, the greatest English Catholic lecturer and author, which selections we present herewith. The Staff is Indebted ... to the Rev. William H. Rowan, of the Loras College English Department, for his unstinting interest in this project. Father Rowan responded to our requests with an immedi¬ ate survey of the works of Belloc, then made these choices for the 1950 PURGOLD. These Selections . . . are taken from three of the books written by Mr. Belloc, representing equally three facets of his brilliant writings: ' The Crisis of Civilization, ' Fordham University Press, New York (1937); The Restoration of Property, Sheed and Ward, New York (1936); Essays of a Catho¬ lic , Macmillan Co., New York (1931). ★ The Crisis of Civilization The Crisis of Civilization is this: That culture and civilizaton of Christendom—what wa called for centuries in general terms Europe, wci! made by the Catholic Church gathering up tK social traditions of the Graeco-Roman Empire in spiring them and giving the whole of that great body a new life. It was the Catholic Church whi6 ( made us, gave us our unity and our whole philosc phy of life, and formed the nature of the whih world. That our civilization, that is, the civilize, tion of Christendom, today occupying Europe es, pecially Western Europe, and radiating thenc over the New World, acting aldo as a leader instructor of the other cultures in Asia and No- them Africa, has arrived at a crisis where it ' in peril of death. Property and Freedom The two great social encyclicals, Rerum hh varum and Quadregesimo Anno, point out tK survival of freedom depends on the Possession n f property as widely distributed throughout snrie as possible .... The choice lies between property on the oG hand and slavery, public or private, on the othe ' There is no third issue. Man, to live, must t an form his environment from a state in which less to a state in which it is more useful to h e I This process is called The Production of Wealth BELLOC The name for a control of the Means of production is Property ' When that control is ex¬ ercised severally by individual units we call it Private Property to distinguish it from property vested in public bodies. When so great a number of families in the State possess Private Property . a sufficient amount as to give its colour to the whole, we speak of Widely distributed property. It has been found in practice, and the truth j 5 witnessed to by the instincts in all of us, that such widely distributed property as a condition of freedom is necessary to the normal satisfaction of human nature. In its absence general culture ulti¬ mately fails and so certainly does citizenship. The cells of the body politic are atrophied and the mass Q f men have not even, at last, an opinion of their own, but are moulded by the few who retain own¬ ership of land and endowments and reserves. So essential is property to full life, though it is de¬ batable whether a full life is to be aimed at. There may be some who dislike freedom for themselves. There are certainly many who dislike it for others. But, at any rate, freedom involves property. The Catholic Position You are a man cultured and acquainted with the sources. You know well enough that England only is because the Church made England after the chaos of the fifth and sixth centuries. You know also—as your readers do not—that all about us, axe and ladder and saw, pillar and arch, and verse and law, and reasoning, are from that Mediterra¬ nean antiquity which the Church barely saved, and having saved, nourished into Christendom .... Upon the maintenance and increase of the Church the life of our civilization depends. There are apparent in all art, literature, and morals many forerunners of collapse .... I will content myself by concluding with this: That there wholly escapes you the character of the Catholic Church. You judge it by indications dead and valueless; you have not for all your detestation of it—experienced its life, not known it for what it is. You are like one examining the windows of Chartres from within by cand elig , and marvelling how any man can find g|° r y ,n them; but we have the sun shining through. You are like one curious to note the canvas mar s on the back of a Raeburn, and marvelling to ear 11 obverse called the true picture of a man. For w a is the Catholic Church? It is that which rephes, coordinates, establishes. It is that within w ic is right order; outside, the puerilities and the des¬ pairs. It is the possession of perspective in the sur¬ vey of the world. It is a grasp upon reality. Here alone is promise, and here alone a foundation . One thing in this world is different from all other. It has a personality and a force. It is r ® co 9 nized, and (when recognized) most violently love or hated. It is the Catholic Church Within that household the human spirit has roof and hearth. Outside it, is the night. In hac urbe lux sollennis, Ver aeternum, pax perennis Et aeterna gaudia. H. Trenkle Co.
