x £ibri8 THE LOYOLA 1926 WSlg ' IN MEMORIAM He. Like a dauntless soldier, went Into Alaskan plains. He meant To Christianize the pagan bands That dwell upon these frozen lands. Within the land of the Midnight Sun That pious priest has worked and won The Heathen of that Land of Gold Unto the Christian Shepherd ' s fold. While mushing o ' er the ice-clad plain Amid.st the falling snow and rain To bring Christ ' s joys, and simple toys And gifts to orphaned girls and boys. He fell, a victim of the storm. For several days his lifeless form. Unmoved by Mink ' s most mournful cries. Did bide beneath auroral skies. Thus, snow-stormed during Christmas-tide This savior of Alaska died. In solemn sleep his soul doth sigh Its incensed prayer to God Most High. Oh! Glorious Martyr of Charity Now praising thy Lord eternally. Receive into thy memory This book we dedicate to thee. R. C L. FOREWORD Woven through the pages of this volume is the stoty of Father Ruppert, S. J., who died a martyr ' s death, while fighting his way through the heavy Alaskan snows on a mission of Christ- mas cheer to the loved ones in his fold. Faintly bordering its pages is the Totem Pole, the native monument of the Northland, erected by its peo- ple in honor of their dead And they painted on the grave posts Each his own ancestral Totem. Each the symbol of his household; Figures of the Bear and the Reindeer. Of the Turtle. Crane and Beaver. Each inverted as a token That the owner was departed. Thus does this volume serve a dual purpose, as a memento of Loyola ' s founder and as a written review of the college year. Verily, to some of its readers it is the closing page of a school career, and it is our hope that when, in future years, we turn its pages we may, in memory, walk again the halls of Loyola and re- awaken in our hearts this simple story of love and sacrifice. ■ Si-iwv THE LOYOLA f ' ' - ' i W;} W I f ' [ 10] THE L O Y O L A L O Y O LA THE L O Y O L f l -! i J ||r - 1 Rev.

Whether it be the baseball team, the year b xik or other publication, the debating team or dramatic pro- duction, matters little for all are dependent for their sus- tinence and success upon that perpetual fountain of energy, the spirit of the students. It is the driving power be- hind every activity, its influ- ence permeates every collegi- ate enterprise giving it strength and life as electricity vivifies the powerful but lifeless mac Fn the same way it is sent forth with a steady and potent mos of college life, a well organized Student Body.

Our fondest ambitions reach fruition only through its loyal support. We may then at the close of a successful year offer all possible congratulations to the noble Student Body that has left so enviable a record of achievements for future Loyolans. In the early part of the year the College and High School Student Body was separated. This change has been long desired and the achievements of this term speak well for it. Placing separate responsibility upon each of the organizations has raised the standard of effi- ciency and coordination one hundred per cent. President Girard headed the staff of college officers and met the trying demands of his position with tireless energy. To all of the officers are ex- tended the thanks of a grate- ful Student Body whom they piloted through so profitable a voyage. 1 ij Paul Currin Treas. John McLauchlin Vice-Pres. [ 19] jBMiijr 3 Y O L A P STUDENT BODY COUNCIL AND ADVISORY BOARD The Student Body Council of Loyola College, the governing tribunal of the As- sociated Students, is composed primarily of the student body officers together with the presidents of the various classes. The managers and captains of the sports, in season, and the editors of the publications are ex-officio members, and an advisory board composed of three active students appointed by the moderator, completes the role. The functions are legislative and executive. That corresponding to the judicial is vest- ed in the moderator who also acts in a supervisory capacity. The body meets at speci- fied intervals and more frequently when sponsoring collegiate activities such as the College Dance and annual dramatic or debating productions. The constitution is an all-governing codicil and the rights and powers of the council are contained therein. Each member of the student body is entitled to ballot. Amendments to the constitu- tion require an unanimous vote before they become effective. All matters pertaining to athletics such as the requirements for letter men in the various branches, are covered by the constitutional provisions. Special awards and honors are also conferred by vote of the council on students to distinguish themselves in collegiate activities such as debating. The advisory board is a stabilizing factor in the actions of the council as it repre- sents the sentiments of those not in office, serving thereby to counterbalance any rail- road tendencies that might arise on the part of the official councilmen. This system of checks and balances operates very effectively and is useful and famous in Loyola ' s student government as the national check system on the government affairs at the Capitol. President Phil Girard appointed Tom Haddock, Martin Burke and Tom Pitts to act in the capacity of advisory board members. All three are representative members of the Student Body and were selected because of their executive ability. Haddock heads the business staff of the Annual, Burke has been handling the sporting publicity for the College, and Pitts has been a member of the athletic managerial staff for the past four years.

The preparation of this year ' s Loyola has necessitated long hours of tedious work on the part of the staff. It has demanded sacrifice on the part of many. Consequently this page stands alone in the year book as a tribute to the unstinted cooperation, the complete self-sacrifice of the members of the staff. They have given generously of their time and energy that this year ' s annual might excel those of Bernard Roberts Nicholson Jones tSSaii. f 22] THE L O Y O L A Jack Wright, George Dunne.

The year book of 1925-1926 is the fourth in Loyola ' s history. The fourth and we think the best. It is fitting that the greater Loyola of 1926 has produced a greater annual of 1926. It is only propitious, then, that the students, the Alumni and the friends of Loyola acknowledge the deep debt that is theirs to Editor Louis Burke, to Mr. Belanger, S. J., and to each and every member of the editorial and business staff. Their ' s has been a great work, now crowned by monumental success. That the Loyola has pro- gressed we may readily see by examining its pages. Action pictures grace its athletic section — scenes of artistic beauty add a touch from a master ' s hand to its division pages — art work, the beauty of which is difficult to express in words, pictures to the reader the theme of the book. Add to this a magnificent cover and we have a few outstanding reasons why The Loyola is one of the best annuals ever printed. To all those who assisted in any way towards the success of the annual, the staff gratefully acknowledges its appreciation.

The Loyolan, our Chronicle of college activities has been for years a great undertaking and its rise to well-merited success is a fitting tribute to the earnest efforts of those students, who made it possible. However, the ardor of appre- ciation easily wanes and lest wc forget we will briefly review here the history of our publication. The paper began its career in 1919 as The Cinder. Its life was short and despite the zealous effort of its staff it succumbed on the rocks of bankruptcy. With an im- pressive ceremony by the staff it was formally buried beneath a towering tombstone on which was engraved the words Requiescat in pace. But a resurrection was forthcoming and in 1921 it began its new career under the name The Loyolan. Since its rejuvenation it has grown and improved and at [24] THE T O Y O L A LOYOLAN STAFF Thomas Haddock, Jack Wright, Joseph Gibbons, Edward Du Ross Maurice Bernard.

Phil Girard, Louis Burke and Martin Burke are credited with restoring it to a full fledged college chron- icler, as It was mainly through their efforts that it was able to survive its period of convalescence. The former has for the last three years been editor-in-chief and will be succeeded next year by Robert Brennan, who has already assumed the active duties of the office. Mr. Charles Coony, business manager, and the cooperative staff as a whole, de- sen. ' e great praise for their faithful labor during the past year, for it is through the harmony of their functioning that the present success of the paper has been accom- plished. Mr. Coony held the position of R. O. T. C. correspondent during the pre- vious year. The financial success of the publication was assured by the earnest work of Tom Roberts, newly appointed Advertising manager. ;« ' [ 25] THE L O Y O L A COLLEGE DANCE Voted by all who attended, as the most enjoyable evening of this social year, the Loyola Dance was held Wednesday night in the new and magniiicently adorned ball- room of the Odd Fellows Temple, Washington and Oak. From a social standpoint it was a wonderful success, an event that makes us won- der why we don ' t have more of them during the year. It was perfectly conducted and from the moment that the first musical strain of the Packard Six floated through the hall, until the last note was sounded by the crashing cymbals, the dance was on — the dancers enjoying every minute of the time. The crowd, distinctly Loyolan, was as representative as could be desired, and just large enough to make the event the great success that it was. Every department, the Law, the College and the Prep, was well represented, and along with the members of the two fraternities, was a gathering that would be difficult to surpass. As the hour of eight slowly gave way to nine, the crowd began to gather and by nine-thirty they were there in large numbers, and the evening ' s enjoyment was under way. The stags generally plentiful at school dances were few in number, which added greatly to the pleasure of everyone present. The selection of the hall was ideal. Being erected and finished shortly before the dance, it breathed of a lovely newness and comfort. Ser ' ice at the dance was of the highest order. And the music, that all-important factor in the night ' s success, was the best ever. Refreshments in the form of punch commanded a never emptying line of enthusiasts. Phil Girard, president of the College Student Body, and ex-officio master of cere- monies, is to be congratulated for his untiring efforts to give the College the best dance possible. The dance was a credit to him, to Loyola, and to all those friends of Loyola who graced the occasion with their presence. Also in line for credit, v. ' e place the name of Tom Barry, who carried off the thankless job of financial head and manager. The floor committee is also to be com- plimented on the spirit of good fellowship and the enjoyment that reigned throughout the entire evening. The Student Body is dependent for it.s financial welfare upon such functions as the College dance, the yearly Dramatic productions, and ticket sale both to the students and to the public for its athletic games. College Fixitball bears its share of the expenses and approaches being a financial success. The other sports are a steady drain upon the treasury and it is for their upkeep that these other functions are brought into play. It is to be hoped that as Loyola teams continue to engage with still higher class com- petition that the gate receipts will even exceed those of the present. [26] THE L O Y O L A THE BONFIRE Skyward flames that lapped and singed the fleeting feet of Diana. Blaek eurling smoke that forced the lesser deities of the heavens to blink with consternation and dis- may. Penetrating rays of light that split the murky clouds and shamed the frivolous glances of the planets. Such was the impressive effect of Loyola ' s greatest bonfire on the faint and flickering luminaries in the far-off firmament. Its earthly effects were even more stupendous. As a pep and spirit-raismg rally on the eve of La Verne ' s invasion of the Lion ' s Den it was a startling success that shattered all lingering doubts of the most skeptical. A Pajamarino, the first affair of its kind at Loyola, was staged by the Fourth High enthusiasts and its results promise its repetition in future years as an annual event. The pile required three days of labor to build; three days which were filled with the collection of burnable junk from citizens of the Pico Heights surrounding districts. Three days of work which ended all too soon with the gathering gloom of night. Thanks to Frank Girard, for the telephone poles he secured for the occasion. These four poles were obtained to encase the mammoth pile. The fire committee, Gorman, Nicholson and Scully, were aided in the building of the pile by the jug inmates and an army of helpers, trucks, wheelbarrows and flivvers, all scurry- ing, shoving, piling like a swarm of bees around a disturbed hive. Night of the third day found the pile ready for the match. A real estate office had been raised, goodness knows how, to the very top of the pile, and, with a string of briquets form ing the word Lions for its crown, Loyola had an unprecedented pyramid of junk. Promptly at eight o ' clock festivities com- menced with speeches from prominent faculty THE O V O Meanwhile, below the seething voleano a long serpentine of students was whipping its way and weaving its snakelike form about the burning pile. Truly it was a sight that will long be remembered. Even those who wit- nessed the bonfire from the standpoint of visit- ors will never forget the marvelous sight that It was. For bloeks around, the streets were choked with inquisitive autoists seeking to investigate the cause of the flames which lighted half of the Wilshire district to the brightness of day. The fire burned merrily until the wee small hours of the morning, while students cavorted about the burning pile, urged on to more fan tastic stunts by the applause of the spect.i tors. It was late when the last of the crowd of spectators turned their backs on thr smouldering embers and started on their way home leaving a never-to-be-forgotten bon A representatives, student officers and members of the football team from captain to bucket-boy. Yell practice under the direction of the leaders brought forth a re- sounding din that threatened the safety of the gym roof. Frank Tat Nicholson of Junior College follow- ed with a hilarious mirth provoking comedy skit. The Loyola Band graced the occasion with a high brand of inspiring musical enter tainment. Phil. Girard, Student Body Presi- dent, presided at the firing of the pile and in a short inter ' al of time from the lighting of the match the flames had spread to the very top of the conflagration and the word Lions stood out in blazing carbon briquets above the raging mountain of flames. m [28] L O V O L A the y tire and medicine- m.ikint; pajam.inno of 92 ' i . The 192i bontire will always be re- membered and pointed out as the first event which truly aroused the spirit of the Student Body of Loyola College. A huge crowd turned out for the game on the following day but they were doomed to keen disappointment. On account of the overly wet condition of the field, caused by a careless workman, the La Verne team refused to play and the game was called off. It was a regretable circumstance owing to the fact that the large crowd which had assembled to witness the last game of the season were to return home in a disappointed frame of mind. LOYOLA [30] THE L O V O L A GROUND BREAKING CEREMONY Loyola has passed one more mile- post along the steep and perilous road to the great University she is des- tined to become. In the next few years she shall assume proportions tar beyond the measureless boundar- ies of the most enthusiastic and pro- lific imaginations. Buildings shall be erected and projects undertaken that now seem improbable even m our fondest hopes for her future. Our most fantastic dreams cannot exagger- itc the expansion demanded by the ed- ucational requirements of this ex- tensive community. No prophecy can be regarded as extravagant, when we consider the circumstances favorable to our Institution ' s future. Loyola is the center of Catholic education in the Southwest and must hold such a position without the feel- ing of a country-cousm to the other Jesuit Colleges of the East. Her pos- sibilities are proportionate to the Southland ' s phenomenal growth. As we realize the value of our College to the intellectual welfare of Southern California, we must also see the importance of the Ground Breaking Ceremony held on January twentieth, nineteen hundred and twenty-six. The first step in the erection of our beautiful new Administration Building was a never-to-be-forgotten day For the Reverend Fathers of the Faculty, it was a sign of hope that the dawn that follows darkest night was near. Loyola ' s need for expansion, her growing pains, have been the most severe in the privations they inflicted upon the faculty. Their joy, then, at the Ground Breaking is not hard for us to duly appreciate. We were fortunate in having as our guest of honor. Bishop Cantwell, who broke the ground for the new Administration Building and also favored us with a speech. Other speakers were, Father Piet, Provincial of the Society of Jesus, our Loyal friend Hun. Joseph Scott, and Mr. Ford, Dean of the Law School. Mr. Ford took the place (if the Hon. Isidore Dockweiler, and opened the program with a short talk. He ex- pressed his happiness in seeing the work of the Building Fund Committee so fruitful in Its harvest. At the close of his speech Mr. Ford introduced the next speaker, Fr. Provincial. Joseph Scott, K. S. G. ill [31} T H L O V O L A From Fr. Piet ' s speech we might well remember the value of Jesuit Education. A system that has for its object not only the culture of the mind and body hut also of the soul. A training the worth of which we shall realize throughout the remainder of our lives. Then we heard from Loyola ' s favorite speaker, the Hon. Joseph Scott. He bade us remember how the Jesuit Fathers had been first in bringing culture and education to the new world. How, long before Harvard and Yale were thought of, the brave Jesuit missionary Francisco Junipero Kino had founded in Arizona the Church of Saint Franci.s Xavier. Most important of all, he told us to remember that the system of these dauntless men, did not, like most modern education foster pride of intellect, but rather inculcated in the youth, humility of the heart which is the mark of true learning. Following this. Bishop Cantwell delivered a beautiful oration in which he con- gratulated the Fathers upon their work at Loyola, and expressed his joy at having a Jesuit College in his Diocese. To the students of Loyola, the Bishop particularly ad- dressed the warning that, no matter where they might be, their College would be judge d by the manner in which they conducted themselves. n [32] THE L O Y O L A der of cation brave rckof Km of ct,kt mga riy ad- Following the example set by the honored participants of the day ' s ceremonies, a great number of the audience took their place at the shovel handle and turned over the sod. Some to show even a greater devotedness to Loyola and its future took some of the upturned earth home with them to keep it as a memento of Loyola ' s incipient expansion. In the lengthening shadows of the setting sun, the College Band once again struck up a lively tune and the last strains dying with the coming of evening, fitted admirably the closing of this great event. Reflection was inevitable. A day of beauty and splendor was closing over us; but the sun of the tomorrow was to rise and shine more resplendently on a bigger, greater and more glorious Loyola. [33] i ' THE L O Y O L A ANNUAL RETREAT The annual retreat at Loyola College has always been a momentous occasion in the calendar of school events, and ever since the days of old St. Vincent ' s, many successful retreats have been held. Those three days being set aside from the usual course of study as the most important days of the entire school year. This year especially with the added incentive that our new chapel gives on such occasions, and under the guidance of Fr. Joseph Stack, S. J., the student body completed a retreat which many regard as the most successful held during the last few years. Father Stack is a past master in conducting retreats, being the head of the Jesuit Retreat House, El Retiro, at Los Altos, California. The retreat, coming as it did, gave quite an agreeable surprise to a number of students, who did not learn of it until the day previous to its commencement. It was not scheduled until a week later, but as the services of Father Stack could not be obtained at that time, the faculty deemed it advisable to hold it at once. Services were commenced on Tuesday morning. Candlemas Day, with the cele- bration of Holy Mass. Thereafter, during the course of the day, alternate periods of instructions and reading were held. Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament closed the day. Father Stack is a ver ' eloquent and forceful speaker, and soon won his way to the hearts of the students. On Friday morning, it being the concluding day, the entire student body received Holy Communion. At the conclusion of the services Father Stack bestowed the Papal Blessing on all those present. The retreat was then concluded. Afterwards everyone was treated to the annual breakfast by Father President, an affair that was looked forward to by the students and which never fails to complete the iinu-jhing touches of perfect happiness and well-being. [34] THE L O Y O L A COLLEGE ORCHESTRA Top Row: Meade, Olson, O ' Hara, Wright, Creighton, C. Kearney, Lydon, E. Kearney, Bliley. Middle Row: Prof. Wismer, McDevitt, McGrath, Bruhaker, Heuer, Vogelsang, Slattery, Holther, Bottom Row: Shill, Keppler, Villar, Maurry, Stokes, Valentine, Bilpusch, Taylor. It is hard for weirds to express the wonderful work of Professor Wismer in round- ing the orchestra into shape to play on the many occasions when they were needed. If one has studied the difficulties of music, he can appreciate how hard it is to get a number of fellows to harmonize on the various musical instruments, and how much harder it is to make a crowd of more or less musical and willing lads, who merely entered the orchestra to help the school, play very creditably. Of course, there are a few members, like Clen who were already so talented that Mr. Wismer did not have to work much with them. The orchestra has enlivened by its excellent musical renditions the many functions held by the school. During the inter ' als in the debates, both in the High School and the College, the soft strains of classical melodies charmed the audience and soothed the minds excited by the vigorous speeches of the debaters. The music scores were exe- cuted by the orchestra for all the Loyola plays and it displayed a remarkable profi ' ciency in accompanying dramatic productions. At the mass meeting in the Olympic Auditorium for the Junior Seminary Campaign, their playing was exceptionally bril- liant and they were vigorously applauded by the fifteen-thousand people present. [35] ,,4..k40W i THE O O L A INTER-FRATERNITY VAUDEVILLE ENTERTAINMENT • n Conaty Auditorium, in the Catholic Girls High School, was the scene of the most successful affair staged during the year 1925-26. A big success from the standpoint of attendance as well as being a social and financial one. The entertainers played to a packed house. The large auditorium, which seats approximately one thousand persons, being completely filled. The entertainment was sponsored by the Alpha Lambda and the Rho Alpha Gamma Fraternities, these organizations taking upon themselves the task of raising funds to meet a feared deficit in financing the publication of this year ' s book, the finest, the. most complete, elaborate and beautiful annual that has thus far been pro- duced. I The Law School, so sorely in need of a workable library, also benefited to a con- siderable extent by the Law Library being credited with the excess of the proceeds of the affair over the amount needed for the Annual. All those who attended, those who aided so well in disposing of the great number of tickets, and the professional entertainers who so generously donated their time and talent, are very largely to be credited for the huge success of this benefit vaudeville en- tertainment. But those primarily responsible, and to whom most of the credit should be given, for the complete success of the afi ' air are Tom Barry, Phil Thomson, Paul Beno Currin and Maurice Pedo Bernard, all members of the intcrfratcrnity com- mittee appointed by the Alpha Lambda; Louis Burke, Tod Sloan, Mark Costello and Tom Coony, members of the committee appointed by the Rho Alpha Gamma Fra- ternity. Upon the shoulders of these students fell the difficult task of determining the proper and most successful means of accomplishing the task. After determining the method by which the purpose in view was to be accom- plished, the selection of a logical place to hold the entertainment, the fixing of the date, plus a score or more of detail matters, all that remained to be done consisted of pro- curing the various acts or performances, procuring an orchestra, printing of tickets, advertising posters and programs, and last but not least the disposing of said certifi- cates of right to enter. A real man ' s job. With the encouragement of Father President and through the aid of Fr. Fox, Fr. Walsh and particularly that of Fr. Quevedo, of the Blessed Sacrament Parish, who procured most of the entertainers, the idea conceived by the committee as the best means of m.iking the proposed event a completely successful one was brought into reality. The courtesy of Fr. Corcoran and Fr. Dillon, of the Catholic Girls ' ' ' ' !i School, in permitting the use of Conaty Auditorium for the staging of the affair, . .!iout cost, is deeply appreciated by Loyola College generally and by the inter- fraternity commit- tee particularly. In the first act of the varied assortment of presentations on the long program, the vast audience viewed an interior scene of a modern radio broadcasting station. The golden throated Tom McLaughlin, Loyola ' s pride in the realm of song and a radio performer of great renown, thrilled the listeners, as the inner workings of a broadcast- [36] L O Y O L A ing station were pictured before them. M.my other artists of radii nencc ,ilso addressed the mieronhone. and stage promi ' Little Joyce Murray, The Fairy of Hollywood, delighted the audience with a series of songs and dances. The Keever Kids, and Catherine Campbell, of the Mc- Donald Dancing Academy, were featured in dance numbers. Lois Breman-Eklund rendered a monologue entitled Who Was the Winner? Other humorous mono- logues by Hollywood cinema .stars whose activities are usually pictured on the screen brought down the house, and the numerous curtain calls threatened to set back the bed-time hour more than a few notches. The Tumbling Bug Trio, consisting of Ray and Roy St. John and Leo Wright; the How-to-get-rich-quick-or-how-to-go-to-the-pen, trunk act of Nick Harris, are but a few of the Inter-Frat program headliners. Sidney D ' Albrooke, of nation-wide renown, graced the program with his usual overflowing and contagious abundance of pep and mirth. D ' Albrooke led a gang of The Hollywood Boosters, through a string of acts which the large and appreciative audience enjoyed to the N ' th degree. Bobbed Hair, — a barber shop experience of a girl was very cleverly rendered by Margaret Hayes. The printing dead-line of the year-book does not permit us to go into further detail as to the performers on the program. It is with no little regret that we are not able to mention each, and every one in this article, for the audience was treated to an enjoyable evening of real professional vaudeville entertainment that will linger long in the memory of those whose attendance and effort combined to make the event the com- plete success striven for. Let us then in closing express our appreciation of the timely assistance of the college fraternities in sponsoring the program and particularly the members of the inter- frat committee whose labors were responsible for its success. f; H ( [37] THE L O Y O L A JUNIOR PROM Upholding the tradition of the college that the Juniors should annually give a prom with the Senior Class as guests of honor, the Class of ' 27 this year eclipsed every effort that has heretofore been made m this respect. The Prom was given on May fourteenth at the Hollywood Woman ' s Club, and in securing such a beautiful hall, the Juniors had made the initial step towards assur ' ing a gala evening. The orchestra was the best to be obtained, being composed com- pletely of college students whose syncopation enlivened even the serious-minded Sen- iors. Entertainment of a very high order, was one of the many features of the eve- ning. Favors were distributed among the guests. Refreshments and delicacies were also served. The time was so delightful that all were reluctant to depart and the Prom was extended into the ever-approaching wee hours of the morn. One of the amusing incidents of the evening occurred when a lowly frosh tried to crash the gate, and was in a very formal and military manner ejected from the premises. The affair was a closed one, only the upper clas.smen being allowed. This tradition was started by the first graduating class from the College, and has so increas- ed in splendor, that the Juniors of next year are already worried as to how they are going to improve on this year ' s Prom. Much credit for the success of the evening was due to Messrs. Sresovich and Tat Nicholson for the arrangements of the hall; to Messrs. Frank Girard, E. Gorman, for the music; to Mr. Scully and Mr. Procktcr for securing the entertainment, and to Messrs. Brown, Bingham and Keily for the beautiful decorations of hi salle de dance. SOPHOMORE DANCE A very merr ' dancing, laughing time. Merely an old suggestion by the poet Dryden, seemingly aimed at the Sophomore Class ' annual dance. The affair was held at the Newman Club on the evening of April 16th and from the time the first notes was emitted by the classy handfull of syncopators until the playing of Home Sweet Home, the brief lapse of a few hours was spent in a whirlwind of pleasure. The Hollywegians rendered blues for the occasion, but the blues did not predom- inate among the throng. The affair was strictly invitation.il, and from the time that the news was an- nounced the precious invitations were next to impossible to obtain. Thus the Sopho- mores were assured a gilt-edged crowd. Within a few hours after the moon had ap- peared above the horizon the joyous crowd were taken up with the enjoyment of the evening. A long period of pleasure. The couples thinning out one by one, then in the wee ho urs of morning the hall was abandoned to darkness and solitude. Il nti [38] THE L O Y O L A JUNIOR COLLEGE DEBATING SOCIETY President, Robert Brennan. Vice-President, Francis Werts. Secretary, James Barry. Sgt.-at-Arms, Victor Montgomery. Ill the rapid development of Loyola during the last school year, perhaps one ot the most progressive movements that the college student body has undertaken was the formation of a Junior College Debating Society by members of the Freshman Class. This ever important and necessary activity of campus hfe has been notice- ably neglected during the last few years, especially since the two other departments of the institution, both Law and High School, have made such splendid progress in the field of forensic debating by inter-class as well as inter-collegiate meets. There- fore, it was with no little responsibility that the Freshmen established this society. In doing so they pledged themselves to live up to all the ideals so admirably upheld by former classes. The real purpose of the society is to foster the spirit of debating in the Junior College especially since it is there that the real foundation for any such organisation must be laid in order to build up a durable body that will be truly representative of Loyola. The first meeting of the society was held on April Hth., with a splendid attendance. After a few introductory remarks from the president the election of officers took place. Robert Brennan was chosen as President, Francis Werts, Vice- President, James Barry, Secretary, and Victor Montgomery, Sergeant-at-Arms. The meeting was a very spirited one and under the very able guidance of Mr. Leahy, S. J., who is acting as moderator, the success, which has attended all of Loyola ' s un- dertakings, is sure to be achieved. The questions to be discussed are all of national and even international importance and should be of vital interest to everyone. Many of the members, too, are finished debaters, being among some of the best the High School has produced within recent years. With such a beginning as the society has experienced, nothing but success can logically attend its efforts in the future. Since it is the first organisation of its kind that the college has known, that interest and cooperation which is so marked at the advent of every new activity on the campus should not be lacking. It is the desire and final purpose of the society to eventually establish debating teams in every college class but special attention is given this year to the junior classes because it is upon them that the ultimate success or failure of this activity will depend. _ -rtr [39} THE L O Y O L A ■ ' , ®, SODALITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY OFFICERS Rev. George G. Fox. S. J Moderator George H. Dunne Prefect Martin J. Burke Assistant Prefect William S. Scully Assistant Prefect Joaquin Praters Secretary Robert E. Brennan Vestry Prefect Few organizations can lay claim to such a fruitful object as that by which the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin is guided. Devotion to the Blessed Mother of God must certainly find favor in the eyes of our Divine Savior. And we can. safely postu- late that manifold blessings will be showered upon any group of individuals who con- secrate themselves to the pleasant task of encouraging a love and respect for the Mysti- cal Rose, the unspotted Mother of Christ. Hence it may well be believed that the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin here at Loyola will be particularly favored. For the Good Master will not permit such an as- sociation to go unrewarded in view of the efficacy of its devotion. And what an especial privilege it is to be permitted to enroll ones name with those who have associated themselves in this thrice blessed Sodality! The series of instructions which the Sodality has received from its moderator have gone far towards promoting its aims. This work has laid the preparatory founda- tion for a devotion to Mary that will furnish full consolation to each Sodality member throughout his life. Other organizations are deserving of commendation for the objects which they promote in the material and physical life of the College. But none of the others can boast of a higher object than the Sodality. From earliest childhood the example of the Blessed Virgin supplies us inspiration An outlet for the devotion and love which this inspiration has aroused is furnished by the Sodality and at the same time has stored up untold blessings for those who are enrolled as members. LEAGUE OF THE SACRED HEART The students of Loyola, realizing the lofty end, the excellent means, and the ani- mating spirit of the League, devote themselves enthusiastically to its pious practices. The following promoters attend to the registration of the names of the members — and practically all the Catholic students are members — and distribute the monthly leaf- lets. On the First Fridays the chaplain explains the monthly intention, and exhorts fervor in the practice of the three degrees. John E. Girard John P. McLaughlin Thomas J.

Gir.ird Robert Brennan Charles Coony THE LOYOLA Albert A. Belanger, S. J. Louis Burke Thomas Haddock James C. Keilv During recent years Loyola College has progressed very rapidly in the field of scholastic and athletic endeavor. But perhaps no other student organization has ever manifested more whole-hearted, untiring devotion to the institution than our publica- tion department, through the edition of both The Loyola and The Lo olan. For years past they have been slowly laying the foundation of a strong publication department. But it was not until this year that the fruit of their labors has been fully realised. And so it has been that in order to show the appreciation which the school feels toward them, an Honorary Society was established. To the student body as a whole the Society will not offer any special honors or privileges. It is primarily an honorary organization open only to those whose efforts have deserved the honor of membership through individual effort and accomplishment. The Society itself will always maintain the highest standard possible as it will be a means of stimulating more interest in literary and journalistic activities. Every year only three new members are eligible from each staff, with the requirement that they have had the experience of at least two years with either publication. This year the society held its first meeting in the month of April and became ofEcially known as the Kappa Alpha Sigma Honorary Publication Fraternity of Loyola College. In the latter part of April the banquet of the combined staffs was held at the Mary Louise Banquet Rooms. Father Sullivan, Father Halpin, Father O ' Brien and the mod- erators of the publications, Mr. Belanger and Mr. Leahy were the honored guests of the evening, Louis Burke, Editor of the Year Book, acting in the capacity of toast- master. As a fitting climax to the program of the evening the awarding of honor keys, significant of membership, were given to the six persons who form the charter members of the fraternity. [41 ] THE L O Y O L A The Kappa Alpha Sigma emblem is a handsome gold key carrying the insignia of the fraternity on its face and the name of the fortunate recipient and the year awarded, engraved on the back. The right to wear the honor key was bestowed upon Editor, Phil Girard, Business Manager, Charles Coony, and Associate Editor, Robert Brennan, all members of the Loyolan Staff. With equal honor the emblem was presented to the Editor, Louis Burke, Adver- tising Manager, James C. Keily, and Business Manager, Thomas Haddock, of the Year Book Staff. The six above named persons form the charter members of an honorary organiza- tion which we hope will in future years be bound close in the life of the College, and which will prosper and grow step by step with it. In the honoring of the charter members of the fraternity, we must also remember to give to the others on the respective staffs the praise and glory due to them. Next year will find six of their number placed on the roll for membership in the fraternity and so will it continue in the years following, acting both as an incentive and a re- ward for workers in this important and instructive department of College life. Following the banquet, the entire body of guests were bundled into waiting ma- chines and carried downtown to witness, en masse, one of the leading cinema produc- tions of the year. To say the least, it was an enjoyable evening and one that has been long looked forward to by the staffs of both publications. In closing, may we join in a toast to the prosperity and welfare of Kappa Alpha Sigma in this its launching year; may it forever guard and protect in the years to come the traditions entrusted to it by its fostering mother.

Impressed with the attractions of the spiritual virtues embodied in that word Fraternity — a small, very small, group of Loyolans gathered to- gether but four years ago to discuss the possibilities i)f organizing a real fraternity. The initial steps of organization of the Alpha Lambda Fraternity were taken on the evening of October 15, 1922. The moving spirits behind the organization at that time were H. Landon Morris. Martin J. Morony, Thomas Haddock and Cleve Morrison. Elected to the office of president of the infant organization at that first meeting, an office which he was destined to hold for two years, Martin Morony immediately brought into play his excep- tional powers and ability as an organizer. It was the will of the first brothers in the Alpha Lambda Fraternity to limit the number of charter members to eleven. The quota was filled within the first year and it was then that Alpha Lambda formally embarked upon the career of progress that has carried her through an almost amazing period of de- velopment in the few years that have ensued. When the administration of President Morony drew to a close the fraternity had doubled in size and had made a definite impress upon the life of the college. Determined to maintain the record that had already been set, the fraternity chose as its second president Tom Barry, under whose wise, sane and conservative leadership the organization attained new heights of glory and recognition. During this year a number of new achievements were added to the already imposing record of the Alpha Lambda. For a number of months the organization enjoyed the use of a fraternity house. It was during the administration of Brother Barry that the fraternity became a real consolidated unit. The initiation of a number of new members brought into the organization some of the most prominent of Loyola ' s athletic stars. Some of the active brothers had severed their connection with Alma Mater but not with the fraternity. Brother Cleve Morrison had left the College, Brother Larry Scherb had enrolled in the Hastings School of Law at the University of California and Brother Merv ' n Aggeler had become a diligent student at the University of Notre Dame. The year witnessed several social events of outstanding importance. When Brother Barry stepped out of ofiice at the Anniversary Banquet on the evening of Oc- tober 15, 1925, he did so with the deep respect and heartfelt gratitude of the brothers .ij [4J] LOYOLA I, I ' H A L A M I!

Another of the interesting indications of a remarkable development and progress is the establishment of a monthly bulletin. As this year draws to a close the fraternity gazes into the future with full confidence, trusting that the ensuing years will unfold greater and even more glorious progress.

[ 50] ON THE CAMPUS This IS the Autobiography of a Senior Class. To future Loyolans it will be recalled as the Senior class ' 26. A class is but a group of individuals and hence the Senior class of ' 26 exhibits but the characteristics of the aggregate of those individuals who compose it. But it is of the class as a whole that we would write. For the records of the individuals comprising the class are set forth in other sections of this tome. What happy and consoling reminiscences will be brought forth in the future by the recollection of the four years which this class has spent within the halls of Alma Mater! Four years to which is now being written a glorious Finis. Years hence there will be recalled the carefree though studious days spent by the class of ' 26 in the Freshman year. The year that laid the firm foundation for lasting friendships. That enshrined in the hearts of the class a deep reverence and love for Alma Mater. The slightly increased maturity of the following year failed to detract at all from the :eal of the class. Its ranks were depleted by transfers. Some left to enter the world of business. Their departure while regretted held some measure of consolation for the ones remaining. For it brought these latter into closer contact. It served to weld more firmly the bonds of loyalty to one another and to the College. A bond that has distinguished Senior ' 26 throughout its career. Junior year witnessed an embarkation upon the deep waters of philosophic study. The two preceding years of preparation had supplied a deep-rooted mental equilibrium. As a consequence, the class entered a year marked by an earnestness of study and enlivened by the inspiring zest of the disputations arising from the inevitable differences of opinion which are a necessary concomitant of such a broadening study. [51] THE L O Y O L A And there was maintained that same steadfast loyalty to Loyola. It was as a blossoming tree, growing sturdier with the passage of each year. A loyalty rewarded by the awarding to the class of the College Loyalty Cup for the two successive years. And then — Senior ' 26! The attainment of the Collegiate goal. The fruition of three years of well founded aspirations and earnest preparation. A year that in the visionary future will be a glorious memory sheddjng a lustrous light down the dim corridors of Loyola ' s history. And now Senior ' 26 prepares to gather up its well-thumbed books, to cast a final look at its accustomed quarters. And then, in a paradoxical manner, bid Au Revoir — joyously but tearfully. Happy that it has reached the goal for which it has long striven; deeply pleased that it has been blessed by the opportunities which it has en- joyed at Loyola; grateful for the strengthening of mind and soul which it has here received, and which has served to equip its members for their combat ith the world that waits just beyond the threshold. And yet saddened by the thought that it must now reluctantly sever the cords that bind it to Loyola. But Senior ' 26, remember — You bid not Adieu but only Au Revoir. Your departure, your separation is not an absolute one. True, that daily physical contact with Alma Mater and one ' s classsmates will be but a memory, but Senior ' 26 will always be joined to Loyola by inseparable ties more lasting than a mere physical union. Always will it be bound to Loyola and the individual members of the class by an unending bond of spirit The future will not offer ' 26 the same experiences of Loyola student life But it will preserve always invaluable Memories. Memories of those: Golden days, in the sun.shine of our happy youth: Golden days, full of innocence and full of truth. In our hearts we remember them all else above: Golden days, days of youth and love. [52] THE L O Y O L A lUNIOR COLLEGE BOURKE JONtS F. Nicholson Iames Sresovich Al Prockter Euoene Gorman President James Sresovich Vice-President. Francis Nicholson Secretary, Eugene Gorman Treasurer, Al Prockter The task of a critic, or rather reviewer, is not always a pleasant one. But this rule fails to apply to those upon whose shoulders falls the task of reviewing the history of the Junior class of ' 27. The accomplishments of this group; their talents, remarkable in their versatility, make an otherwise difficult task an enviable one. Years have passed since the indi- viduals comprising 27 first stepped within the shade of Loyola ' s towering walls. And with the flight of time has come maturity. The early history of the class has become somewhat mellowed, tinted by the magic brush of the artist — Time. And that same artist, impelled by what motive we know not, has painted out of the picture many old, familiar faces. As a consequence there remain but ten members of the class of 27. But the class picture upon which our imagination feasts has not materially suffered thereby. For the remaining ten have meant much to Loyola. And equally true, Loyola has meant much to them. They entered nine years ago as Freshmen in the High School Department. Nine years is not a long time measured in periods of lifetimes. But in point of association with one ' s Alma Mater the measure of time is magnified. But we are not interested in the accomplishment of each year. Rather are we attracted by the general history of the class. They are not now the same individuals who stood somewhat timorously be- fore the registrar nine years ago. They have grown older; more balanced. But that is to be expected of the Junior class. But what remained throughout the years is the spirit of loyalty. Not the loyalty that proclaims itself. Nor the kind that is shouted from the roof tops. But the quiet kind that perseveres. Their collegiate record is one of which to be rightfully proud. Not alone for [53] %an!,. THE T O Y O L A William ScullyE. B. Bincham James Keily John Brown Frank Girard those who remain hut as well for those who have departed. But the lion ' s share of credit must be laid at the feet of the faithful ten, whom the artist thought best de serving of the compliment of being left in the picure. Not alone the class, but the individuals comprising it have records to which we refer with pleasure. They have can. ' ed their names in the historic depository of al- most every Loyola activity. The impetus which they gave to many a phase of student life is a matter too well known to be here recalled. It is but fitting that we record for posterity ' s sake the names of that band of ten who have made history for Junior ' 27. Those stellar athletes, ranking among Alma Mater ' s best, Jim Sresovich and John Brown Basketball and football respectively owe much to their loyalty. The handi- work of Tat Nicholson and Bourke Jones is seen in many a page of this current Annual. Many an hour have they been seen laboriously engaged with the editor in Its preparation. The success of the Annual ' s advertising department is in no small measure due to the ability and efficiency of Jim Keily. We recall happily that wonderful Bon Fire and football rally early in the year. Frank Girard well deserves the fullness of praise that was showered upon him for his labors in making that spirited affair the success it was. And we will long remember the lasting impression that has been made upon the record that tells of the accomplish- ments in the scholarship phase of Loyola activity, by those three students. Will Scully, Bingham and Al Procktcr. And future years will not dim the recollection of Gene Gorman, publisher of the class organ — Junior Jargon. The pleasantness of the Junior ye.ir was due in large part to his native wit and steadfast loyalty. From past and present records we reason to the accomplishments of tomorrow. Hence, though we seldom prophesy. Senior ' 27 appears most promising. ttH [ H] X X SOPHOMCmE COLLEGE CLASS Carlton Murphy Sgt.-at-Arms M. J. Bernard Secretary Anc;l-s McIsaac President John Haddock Vice-Pres. Joaquin Praters Treasurer There buds the promise of celestial worth. A deep analysis of the above has all the earmarks that the poet Young ' s fancied burst of eloquence was directed straight at the contents of the Sophomore class. It was not necessary to venture into the chan- nels of expectation to locate the value of its members. But a complete research of the pa-st would erase any momentuous doubt the reader might have as to their worth. But two scant years ago, the class stole quietly from the prep department and with several new faces, entered into a more dignified rank. Under the direction of Father Walsh, as Freshmen the young collegians scoured their first book of higher wisdom, launching an occasional picnic to shatter the monotony of the classroom. The outing at Balboa, with nearly every man on hand to enjoy it, probably shadowed all other events of that nature. Gus McIsaac sat in the president ' s chair with Bill Starbird doing the Secretarial work and Frank Harvey handling the monetary aifairs. In this year, the Frosh indoor team won the intercollegiate class indoor championship, and also defeated the prep champs for additional honors. When the fellows became Sophomores and entered their second year of scholastic ventures. Father Fo.x took over the reins and soon had them making pleasure of toil. Informal outings still proved to be much in vogue, and were topped only by the non- pareil Soph Dance. Gus McIsaac was again selected for the presidency this year with John Haddock in the role of his assistant. Bernard performed the duties of secretary and Joaquin Fraters harvested and kept watch over the class shekels. In two years of Loyola football history the members of the class have sent to the varsity such athletes as Capt. Beno Currin, Capt. -Elect Jim Tunney, Shovel Sher- wood, John Haddock, Ned Brown, and Leo Hoffman. Lane Guthrie ofiiciated as the college yell king and has two more years to go. Basketball stepped right in and claim- ed Capt. Gus McIsaac, West, Tunney, Mahedy and Shovel Sherwood. Not to leave the baseball squad standing in the shade, we were represented by men of such caliber as Jim Tunney, Gus McIsaac, Currin and others. [? ' ] H E L O Y O L A K S Francis West Grover Bossert Clarence Homer Carlyle Sherwood Lane Guthrie Under the direction of Father Fox many very interesting debates have been held. Everyone has been eager to display his abihty along these lines and as the topics for the various discussions have been up-to-date and modern, the debates were looked forward to events. Among the activities to which the class has presented participants is found the dramatic productions of the college, starring in which the names of Delaney, Hannon, Bond and Fraters have been prominent. Let us turn to the student publications. Glancing over the staffs of The Loyolan and the year-book will show a good representation of Sophs who are laboring to furth- er the interests of both activities. A trip to Custcllo ' s El Rancho Glen Don proved to be a highly enjoyed tiuting. Many of the members were present and it was a happy throng that wound its merry way through the winding trails and along the edge of the laughing stream. A jour- ney to Ice House Canyon and the Southern California snows, stole the greater portion of the open-air attractions. The Sophomore Prom was one of the most colorful events ever given by the local institution, with decorations madj to lend an ultra-collegiate effect. The evening of Friday, April 1 Ci, w.is the fortunate date, with the stage laid at the Newman Club, James Hurley Paul Bickert Joseph Du Ross Paul Currin James Tunney [ i6] THE O Y LA •N=fl Alvin Smith Willard Kearm •!

A dusty and forlorn hook with cobwebs dangling from its pages is one thing which the Sophomore class would not tolerate. No matter how much fun was to be had during the year, study was their first thought, and never was it known that a Sophomore fell to the rear in his studies. Guided, as has been said by Father Fo.x, as their pilot, the Sopho- mores attained the height of success during their last year as Junior College men; and now that they are entering their Senior year at Loyola, it is their one wish that they continue in the path they have begun and show their worth as Juniors and Seniors and end the last years of their school life with high honors and a credit to their Alma Mater. As a fun-loving group with an abundance of pep ,md vigor the Sophs enjoy a distinction which is second to none. Each member with a nickname, derived from goodness knows where, ranging from Beno, Spike, Spider, Pedee, , Garbe, Gawky, Spud, Dusty, Tuna. Wee Willie, and a half-dozen others more or less appropriate. Work hard when it ' s time for work and when the time rolls around for play then play just as hard, is the Soph motto and it has been religiously put into effect throughout every second of their short duet of College years.

Coony Sct.-at-Arms Coming back ready for another big year at Loyola, graduates of last year ' s High School class, strengthened by the advent of many newcomers, organized one of the largest Freshman classes that has ever been at the College. At the annual elections, Albert 0 Hara was chosen President; Francis Werts, Vice-President; Francis Swart;, Secretary, and Charles Coony, Sergeant-at-Arms. All these officers should be commended for the efficient manner in which they performed their respective duties. As leaders of the Freshmen they certainly have done their share in promoting both class and College activities during the past year. President O ' Hara is especially deserving of praise for the manner in which he guided the destinies of the class through such a successful year. His splendid ability as a representative and a leader ot the class cannot be gainsaid. In the yearly Frosh tussle, the first year men upset the carefully laid plans ot the upper classmen as regards Freshmen behavior about the campus. Following the melee all garterless Freshmen appeared with safety wearing Oxford Bags. The class was well represented on the football squ.id by Furlniii;. Mannion, Gib- bons, O ' Hara, Miller, Montgomery, Werts and Hayden. Basketball and baseball like wise received the able support of the class in the persons of Halt. McCormick, Gibbons, Montgomery, Brooks and Barry while Coony, Brennan, Cunningham and Mercola rendered valuable .issistance to the paper and annual staffs. A very novel incident during the year was the formation of a Junior College de- bating society composed exclusively of members from the Freshman class. Many in- teresting and important sessions were held and a splendid foundation was laid for the first organization of its kind. Another featured event was the reunion banquet held shortly after the Easter holidays. It proved to be such a success that the class unanimously voted to make it an annual event. President O ' Hara acted as toast-master and a lively evening was spent featured by impromtu stunts on the part of the various members of the class. Altogether it was one of the most enjoyable occasions the Freshmen have ever spent together.

As a fitting close of the social season an elaborate dance was staged by the class of ' 29 at the Hollywood Women ' s Club on the evening of April 23. and a merrier time could not have been imagined. The music, decorations, and hall itself were all excellent and did much to insure the unprecedented success which greeted the affair. Special praise should be extended to Victor Montgomery, Tom Dunnigan and Francis Werts, through whose tireless efforts the dance attained such a deserved success. This most outstanding evening m the history of the class accomplished a far greater mission in that a spirit of pep and cooperation was developed in the class which should go far in helping it through future years. Making a strong foundation in our first year is essential in building up spirited class and we hope that this has been accomplished. loyal. Before closing, however, it is but right that we extend our hearty thanks both to Fr. Walsh and Mr. Leahy who led the class so well throughout the year. Father Walsh left us at the close of the first semester, to take charge of the faculty building. It is with regret that we close this year which has meant so much to all of us. But, glancing back over the past, we feel that the class has acquitted itself in a very effi- cient manner and hope that next year will find us all returned, spirited and as truly Loyolan as ever. [59 O Y O LA Three for the Frosh ' [60] ALUMNI sfti) THE L O A A GLIMPSE OF THE PAST ISHOP Glass. CM.. D.D. In recalling the history of Loyola College we may permit our minds to drift back in the lacy cloud of that alluring wraith — Memory. Thus we mentally are carried back to the year 1910. The piercing of the veil of Time reveals to us that in that year the Society of Jesus was called up in to carry on the noble work begun in 1865 by the Vincentian Fathers and discontinued by them m 1910. On luly ?0 of this latter year, the late Right Rev. Bishop Glass, C. M., D. D. then Presi- dent of St. Vincent ' s College called upon Right Rev. Bishop Conaty, of revered memory, and told him of the intention of the Vincentian Fa- thers of discontinuing the collegiate work. The decision of the Vincentians was the culmination of forty-five years of labor in Los Angeles. Digressing a moment from the chronological order we may take but a brief glimpse into the further receding past and call up before us the recollection of the part played in the development of the Southland by St. Vincent ' s College, Loyola ' s predecessor. Founded i n 1865 by the Vincentians it was destined to play a most important role in the educational life of Los Angeles. They turned over to Loyola a glorious chronicle of tradition and accomplishments that have writ themselves large across the page of the Southland ' s educational record. In his interview with the Bishop, Dr. Glass assured his Lordship that he was con fident that the Jesuit Fathers would willingly continue the work so well begun. Ac- cordingly Bishop Conaty opened negotiations with Father Herman J. Goller, S. J.. Superior of the California Province. In September, 1911, the Jesuit Fathers opened the doors of their youngest institution with a High School Department only. The territory assigned to the Jesuits as a possible location for their new institu- tion was Highland Park, a very beautiful locality, but unfortunately, far removed from the centers of Catholic population. Despite the difficulties presented by such a location the school registered 105 pupils at the end of its fir t scholastic year. Two years later, in 191?, the College department was opened with a gratifying though small enrollment. Los Angeles College, for that was its name at that time, was still handicapped by the location and by the lack of necessary space. Father Gleeson, S. J. who was the first President of the young College met with admirable success despite the unfortunate obstacles that had to be overcome. [62] ' tt W .-ar -. H E O Y In 1 91 4 the Father President was honored by appointment as the first provincial of the Calitornia Province. Until then the Province had been guided by Superiors. Father WiHiam Deeney, S. J. stepped into office as the new President of the local institution. In 1916 Father Ruppert, S. J., was appointed President of the institution, suc- ceeding Father Deeney. In this year, with the permission of the Right Rev. Bishop and of the Father Provincial a very desirable ten-acre tract of land was acquired in the Pico Heights district on West Sixteenth street, but a twenty minute ride from the he.irt of the down-town section of he city. LIpon this site Father Ruppert erected the splendid structure that now crowns these heights, a glorious monument to a Jesuit educational initiative. Today it boasts, justifiably, of a student body of more than six hundred students, with a second beauti- ful building under construction. On Sunday afternoon, September 16, 1917 the new College was dedicated by Mgr Hartnett. A large number of the clergy and more than five hundred represen- tatives of the Catholic laity of Los Angeles were present at the impressive ceremonies. Frank P. Jenal made an inspiring address following the dedicators exercises. With this dedication the College again assumed the name of St. Vincent ' s Col- lege. It was not destined, however, to long continue as St. Vincent ' s. On Tuesday, October 2. , 19n, the first students ' retreat in the new institution [63] THE L O Y O L A Chapel on Sundays — Los Angeles College began under Father Joseph Stack, S. J. The spiritual exercises continued for three days. On the first day Father Rector celebrated Mass. The entire student body re- ceived Holy Communion, a most mspiring sight. The spiritual exercises closed with a short sermon and the imparting of the Papal Blessing by Father Stack. On Tuesday, November 27, 1917 the College Dramatic Society presented its first stage production, a side-splitting comedy entitled On the Wrong Side. The setting was in Father Meyer Hall at Washington and Grand A -enues. The members of the cast were highly praised for the splendid interpretations they gave their respective roles. Wednesday, December 12, was an epochal day in the history of the Catholic diocese. Right Rev. John J. Cantwell was installed as Bishop of the diocese. On the afternoon of Monday, January 14, 191S the College held a reception for Bishop Cant- well in the student ' s Chapel. February 5 th of this year was a day destined to greatly influence the future of the institution. On this day the faculty in an important meeting, determined to finally dis- pose of the question of a proper name for the College by changing the name to Loyola College and formally incorporate it under the laws of the State. The first definite step towards the realization of this intention v as taken when the members of the faculty signed the Articles of Incorporation under the new name - - Loyola College of Los Angeles. The Secretary of State returned the Articles from Sacramento on March 1, 1918 and they were filed in Los Angeles. Father President immediately called a meeting of the Trustees of the College and held election of officers. [64] THE L O Y O L A Thus was the final chapter written to the much mooted question of a proper name for the institution. It was necessary to discard the aid name of St. Vincent ' s in order that the new Loyola would not be forced to assume the rather large debt of the older institution. The older alumni witnessed the passing of the name of St. Vincent ' s Col- lege reluctantly but with the realization that the move was prompted by necessity. Loyola College had now blossomed forth in its own right, imbued with a new born strength that spelled a great and glorious future. On the evening of March 18, 1918 the College Dramatic Society played to a capacity crowd at the Knig ' nts of Columbus Hall, in the impressive production — Everyman. A second presentation on the following night drew an even larger A student body meeting was held in the corridors on Friday, March 22, at which Father President explained to the students the reason for changing the name of the College. Three speakers composed the impromptu program. John Dockweiler representing St. Vincent ' s College, of Garvanza and Pico Heights, was generously applauded following his address. Francis Moroney spoke for the new College. The High School department was represented by Frank McKeever. The College resumed class on Monday, March 22, 1918, on a new time schedule. All the clocks in the country were advanced one hour on the preceding day by the order of President Wilson. THE L O Y OLA Father Gleeson. S- FiRST President On Saturday, April 13, the stu- dents gathered on the campus to prepare for the ceremonies inciden- tal to Arbor Day by digging the holes for the planting of trees. On the following Wednesday, Arbor Day, a gala Field day was enjoyed by the student body. This day still lives vividly in the memor- ies of the students at Loyola. From ten until two o ' clock the classes and the individuals competed in contests of speed and skill. The real ceremony of the day and one that added greatly to the beauty of the campus started at two- thirty o ' clock in the afternoon. The occasion was the planting of trees. Father Maher had made a great drive during the past week, assign- ing each class its quota of trees. The result was that more than ninety- eight trees were planted. Each stu- lanting of his tree. dent was permitted to select the place t ir the The Fourth year High class was awarded the particular honor of the day due to the fact that it had surpassed all other classes in the drive for trees. This group was permitted to plant the trees that formed the entrance to the beautiful grove on the east campus. Their value to the institution of this day is too well known to demand particular mention here. The arboreal beauties of Loyola ' s campus, beauties created by the ef- forts of the student body on this day, have long been a source ot complete satisfaction to the institution as well as an occasion of unstinted admiration from all those who have N ' isited Alma Mater. On Wednesday, May first at twelve-fifty o ' clock in the afternoon, the May devo- tions to the Blessed Virgin began. The entire student body gathered at this hour in the corridor where a shrine to the Immaculate Mother had been erected. The recita- tion of the Litanies and the offering of a prayer by one of the students closed a most edifying scene The first Alumni smoker was held on the evening of Monday 27, 1918. Qui ' e a representative crowd was present. Cigars, cigarettes and refreshments added to the enjoyment of the affair. Friday, June fourteenth was Commencement Day. The ordinary awards were distributed in the chapel at a Student Body meeting. That evening the formal exer- were held in Father Meyer Hall. A capacity crowd attended. THE L O Y O L A On Sunday, January 28, 191 S, emu- a new change in administration. On this day Father Henry Welch, S. J. ar- rived to take charge of the College. The second year in the new College buildmg witnessed a wonderful growth in the enrollment. The wisdom ot moving to a more centrally located part of the city was being established beyond peradventure of a doubt. A series of lectures by Father Zach- eus Maher, S. J., and an alumni dance the success of which was largely due to the efforts of the same Father Maher, succeeded in raising a relatively large fund for the equipment of the scientific laboratories. It was in this year that the first stu- dent body military corps was organized. It was entirely under student control and was admirably successful. The leaders were selected from the College department. Father Deeney, S. J. Loyola ' s Second President The thoughts being gleaned from, the not too copious storehouse of Memory re- call that in the previous year the College department had been necessarily closed. The government had issued orders that the military S. A. T. C. be established at all institutions of higher learning. Loyola with an enrollment of only twelve in the Col- lege department was unable to establish the corps. The members of the College de- partment enrolled for the year at the former Throop Institute of Technology in Pasa- dena, now known as Cal Tech. Here they had made scholastic records of surpassing worth. Consequently, when the Students ' Military Corps was established at Loyola in 1918, It benefited by the military experience of such men as Frank Brick, Larry Devlin, Art Delaney, Bernie Hiss. Larry Devlin ' s company won all honors for the year. The College was closed for two months in this year due to the ravages of the Influenza epidemic. A number of Alumni smokers added to the interests of the year ' s social program and served to rekindle the old fiires of College spirit in the breasts of the old grads. The history of 1919 is somewhat a repetition of the events of the preceding year. The College was settling down to a smoother course of Collegiate life. With the passing years came increased growth and wider recognition. [67] THE Father Ruppert. S. J. Builder of Loyola LOYOLA The publishing of the first College newspaper was one of the outstanding achievements of the year. It was called the Cinder. The origin of the rather unique name is known to the alumni and the old-timers of Gar ' an;a days and needs no retelling in these columns. In 1920 the Law School was established under the name of St. Vincent ' s School of Law. It was destined to be recalled by history as one of the most important steps since the institution was first founded. It was the first step towards the hoped for conversion of Loyola into a University of manifold Colleges. In this year, too, the first Annual was issued Loyola is forging ahead. The events of the year assure us of that. With the opening of the 1921 scholastic year came Father Nicholas Bell, S. J. as prefect of studies. The development of the Law School became Father Bell ' s most important work. How well he has worked, the accomplishments of the past few years well testify. He gathered together a faculty that has been acclaimed as the outstanding Law Faculty on the Pacific Coast. The enrollment in the Law Department grew beyond the expectations of its fondest sponsors. The College of Arts and Science was not far behind. During the short space of the past two years it had grown from an enrollment of slightly more than twelve students to well over fifty. v ...- ' ■■, , 4 ' ' ' i I fil ' JA in, [68] THE L O Y O L A In this year the first of the series .)f campus improvements was under- taken under the leadership of Mr. James Linden, S. J., Athletic Modera- tor. Before our mind ' s eye a rather hazy but sweetly reminiscent picture has been forming for several minutes. We recall a public road running through the west campus, and through a number of spreading pepper trees, tall grass, uneven ground, and piles of rocks. As a result of the energetic work of Mr. Linden and some forty or fifty students the trees were felled, the road closed, the rocks removed, the ground scraped and smoothed and, behold! there arises the picture of a more re- spectable athletic field. It was destin- ed to blossom forth as a real turf foot- ball field during the coming summer vacation. Fathi:r Welch. S. J. Former President In the season 1922-192. Loyola acquired its first professional football coach. William Harold Hess, more familiarly known as Bill Hess, former All-American back, took control of Loyola ' s football destinies. An immediate improvement was noticed in the calibre of the team. In the same year through the work of Mr. Dave Daze, S. J., the creditable bleachers that now adorn the west campus were erected. There followed shortly after- wards the construction of really worthwhile athletic dressing rooms. Yes, indeed, the period of development was well underway. In this and succeeding years Loyola advanced by leaps and bounds, if we may permit ourselves the use of such an abused phrase. This is true of all phases of its activities. Basketball had been established as a major sport. The team was coached by Father Thomas Flaherty, S. J., and went through a highly successful year. This de- spite the severe handicap suffered by the lack of a home court. In 1923-1924 the turf field was improved. A fence was built around the entire campus. The football squad bloomed forth as one of the leading College teams in the southland. In this year the Alumni Association gave its first annual dance in the Ambassador Hotel. A capacity attendance was the result. It was pronounced the outstanding social event in the history of Loyola. The Alumni association went through a process of or- ganisation during this epochal year. [ 69 i H E L O Y O LA ■ ' . Hard at work on tirf field In the following year may be listed as the most important achievement the erection of the large basketball pavilion. To Father Gilbert, S. J. falls thel credit for this ac- complishment. Bill Hess took charge of the basketball team. He developed a highly creditable squad. A great Student Body dance. A glittering Alumni Ball. A greatly augmented student body. The conversion of the entire third floor into class rooms. The satis- faction over the brilliant record of the first class to graduate from the Law School. The class had graduated in June, 1924. The magnificent development of the year. Thus in a few words we list a few of the achievements of one of Loyola ' s most glowing years. And topping it all, the opening of the drive for a building fund. And then 1925-1926. We need not review the events of the year. They are too familiar. As we sit at the typewriter there looms just without the window the already rapidly rising structural frame of Loyola ' s second building. The second unit in Loyola ' s building campaign. Turning from the past to the future, the ensuing year looms ahead, when there will stand in all its glory the completed Faculty building. The election of officers for the alumni ■i. ' isociation, more properly — the Loyola Club, was held only a few months past. George Cote sits in the president ' s chair. Under his able and loyal leadership the Alumni looks forward to a successful year.

For Auld Lang byne may the Alumni gather together more frequentlv, for in this way should reminiscent moments be encouraged. -i - - va miouiu y m: ' THE LOYOLA CLUB Rev. Joseph Vaughan, S.

[72} Mil f mac itt IK i Tan H E L O Y O L A St. Vincent ' s School of Law started in September, 1920, with five professors and a class of fourteen students, nine of whom tinished and graduated in the first class in May, 1924, and all of whom have success- fully passed the very strenuous require ments of the present Bar Examiners, with the exception of one student who went into business and did not take the ex.mv Miation. Vc have had a remarkable growth and at present number 140 students. Young as our Law School is, it has already leaped into great prominence because of the splen- did personnel it boasts upon its teaching staff. Dr. Charles A. Fricke, Deputy District Attorney of Los Angeles County, and author of Outlines on Criminal Proced- ure has charge of the classes in criminal law and procedure. Professor Leon R. Yankwich, author of Notes On Common Law Pleadings and the Doctrine of Privilege in the Law of Libel teaches the classes in pleadings and practice. Hon. Charles A. Burnell, LL.D., Judge of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, is professor of Constitutional Law. Edward T. Bishop, whose office as County Counsel of Los Angeles County, makes him head of the largest law business in California, has charge of the moot court. Hon. Leslie R. Hewitt, formerly a judge of the Superior Court, and for many years City Attorney of Los Angeles City, teaches the classes in Municipal Law. These few names furnish an idea of the type of instructors with which Loyola Law School has been blessed, but great credit is also to be given to the Jesuit Fathers who have organized the school, and who have demanded a high type of scholarship on the part of the students. Our students have shown the pride of scholarship in their work, and our gradu- ates are already recognized as young men of serious purpose with thorough grounding in the principles of law. Last, but not least, our school demands a training in ethics, legal and moral, psychology and logic, thus creating a type of culture as well as learning in the law. Dean W. J.

THE L O Y O L A HONOR ROLL GRADUATES College renown is measured by the success or failure of those whom it has foS ' tered; those whose minds and hearts it has developed. Hence it is, that the careers of the individual graduates are followed with the closest of mterest. And so it is with the graduates of St. Vincent ' s College of Law. Their success is the College ' s success. The heights to which they rise reveal the depth and girth of the foundation which is builded at the College. Hence, as they climb, so does St. Vincent ' s College of Law rejoice. And should they fall — but why consider that; they do not fall. The historic annals of the Law College are worthy of an institution of hoary age. They are, therefore, more ama:;ing as the annals of one of such fresh youth. It was only in 1924 that the first class was graduated from our College of Law. Eight students passed out of the portals of Alma Mater with that class. Today seven of them stand as practicing attorneys before the bar of California. The other entered the business world foregoing the bar examination. It IS, as a consequence of this record, that the College reviews with justifiable pride the achievements of the Law Department. A soft glow is reflected upon the institu- tion by the unparalleled record established by the members of the first graduating cla.ss. Their accomplishments are but the results of the incomparable training received at the College. Her fostering influence has made itself felt in their professional lives. Below, we pridefully set forth a roll of those who have passed the bar examina- tion, having taken a degree from St. Vincent ' s College of Law during the past two years, or who receive their degrees this year.

' i, [78] 4 THE L O V O L A LAW STUDENT BODY OFFICERS Following a previous nomination meeting held in the college pavilion the Law School Student Body held an election for the purpose of choosing its leaders for the ensuing year. Unquestionably it was the most high- ly spirited and hotly contested election of Student Body officers in the histor ' of the Law Department. So close, in fact, was the balloting that the outcome in the case of two of the offices was practically undecided until the last vote was counted. The nominations being held a week previous allowed plenty of time for campaigning, the results of which were clearly evident as the favor alternated from one candidate to the other when the votes were recorded. To Thomas H. McGovern went the honor of assum- Thomas McGovern m , the role of chief executive. A glance over his past administration is convincing testimony that a better or more capable man would have been hard to find. Mc- Govern is a graduate of the College of Liberal Arts and during his ten years of study at Loyola has held almost every available position and has never been found wanting in any degree of proficiency. Phil Thomson, a prominent member of the Junior Law class, was vested with the office of Vice-President, an office he fully deserved for the wonderful spirit and inter- est he has shown in the Law School. Phil is the head of a self-appointed group which has been laboring to better the law library. The faculty and students sincerely appre- ciate his efforts in this respect. George Dunne, a Junior in the Law School and a member of the graduating class, m the College of Liberal Arts, was elected as Secretary of the Student Body. George ' s laurels are sufficiently spread over the debating section to do away with the necessity of introducing him in this article. An orator of first water, a spirited and active mem- ber of the college, George is one of Loyola ' s best. ' ■ ' SSffiBiw :.-— v O L . 1 For the position of high keeper of the purse the student vote proclaimed Jack Wright as its choice. Jack takes a degree from the Law School this year which, in- cidentally, loses a good man. He is a former editor of the College Annual and held the position of law editor during the past years. Jack has ever been a booster who not only boosted but backed up his boosting with a lot of labor. Jack Nolan, formerly of Santa Clara, was the unanmious choice of the body for the position of Sergeant-at-Arms. En passant we might mention that Jack won the title of All-American guard while playing for our sister college in the North. For the first tmie in its history the Student Body has ceased to exist as a collection of individuals bonded together by the sole tie of merely being students at the same institution. In its place we are having an organised, active body of men who are using a common means to bring about a common end — a bigger and better College of Law. The past year found many of the law students out for the various college activities. The banquet and other social functions were big steps in the right direction toward sponsoring a real school spirit. All in all. we can be proud of our start — let ' s set our sails to the breeze and plan and work for a bigger and better Student Body in the year to come. h-i LAW SCHOOL BANQUET Saturday evening, January 30, witnessed the actual inauguration of the first ban- quet by the students of St. Vincent ' s Law School in honor of the faculty. The banquet was held at the University Club on Hope street, and was given by the Law students as an expression of appreciation to the Fathers and to the law professors, realizing that whatever fame St. Vincent ' s Law School of Loyola College will ever enjoy, shall be owing to their earnest endeavors. After a very good dinner, Mr. McGovern, the master of ceremonies, read the apologies of a few of the members of the faculty who could not attend, and, as was to be expected, the one written by Mr. Bishop was couched in such terms as to send a ripple of laughter over the room. He stated that necessity caused him to remain away [81 ] THE L O Y O L A y s from the banquet to correct the mid-year examination papers of many of those present and that such was a regrettable state of affairs, for, wrote he, I would much rather eat of your food than read of your fiction. Mr. McGovern ably presented each member of the faculty in the order which follows: Father Bell, the first speaker, called the students attention to the Law Faculty and to the school and said in part : The Faculty of the Law School is one of the finest to be found anywhere in view of the fact that all the professors are authorities in the subjects in which they specialize, as well as active, sucessful and distinguished members of the bar. These men, in their personality as well as their teaching, inspire the young man to his best efforts, and lead him to desire the finest things in his chosen profession. In speaking of the Law School, he said: Judging from its phenonenal growth and unrivaled success in the past, we feel quite confident, as the years glide by, that it will flourish, expand and become one of the leading Law Schools of the West, and, for that matter, of the United States. Dean Ford, following Father Bell, laid stress on decorum in the classroom. The need for cooperation between student and professor in building up a standard of learning for the school, coupled with the further duty of the law professor to maintain a high standard of qualification on the part of the student. Mr. Euler, the next speaker, gave a short talk on the making of examination papers from the professor ' s point of view. Then Judge Burnell took the floor and expressed the need of a lawyer to have a good legal education as a foundation in order to ad- vance his own interests and those of his clients. He likened the lawyer who would take his client ' s money without the ability to represent him, as one obtaining money under false pretences. Mr. Yankwich stated that one of the greatest needs of the lawyer is a good foundation in remedies and pleadings and through them a foundation of the knowledge of law. With such a knowledge, presented in a strong philosophical argument, one cannot fail to succeed. Mr. Fricke, who next addressed us, stated that, I now know where those long briefs come from — out of the minds — and not out of the cases. ' He also expressed the need for a thorough legal education. Mr. Watt, next called the students ' attention to the fact that a single act of the state ' s legislature can and might wipe out our complete knowledge of the codified law. But Mr. Moroney, who followed, stated that, I want my Freshmen to know that even so, it would not change the date of the battle of Hastings. He also congratulated the Freshmen on numbers present and loyalty displayed. Mr. Jenal, in his able way. laid particular stress on the students loyalty to the school. Mr. McGovern thanked the faculty for their presence and the first Law School banquet by the students to the Law Faculty was over. The banquet was, indeed, a success and the only regret is, that more upper classmen did not attend. [8:] THE L O Y O L A LAW DANCE Friday evening, February 12, the St. Vincent ' s School of Law held their first annual dance. The dance was held for the benefit of the Law Library, to place at the command of the students a few more volumes of reference. Truly It was a dismal evenmg; rain swept the streets in gusts, but it could not dampen the ardor of those who have St. Vincent ' s School of Law at heart. They trooped in by couples and small crowds, expectant to see but few there, and all were well pleased at the splendid showing of loyalty of those who were present. Hennessey ' s Packard Six Orchestra was never better, and their brand of melody soon held the crowd. The storm was forgotten in the pleasure of the moment. Mid- night came too soon and as happy crowds parted for home, all radiated the success of the dance as all enjoyed it. But we must not forget the primary object of the dance — the Law Library. As a financial success it fell pitifully short of its mark. We need a Law School Building, and affected passion, intense expression, the pomp of declamation all aspire to it and may help us attain both the Law Library and Law School Building. It will take action! Noble sublime action! God- like action! It will take work. For this is a great blessing in itself; and I should say, there is not very much more reward than that in the world. It will take every man in the Law School, and the College, in the Alumni and in the High School — together with the aid of the Board of Directors, the faculty and all of our friends and benefactors to secure for us a Law Library and a Law School Building. And such in- tense work in so noble a cause will, indeed, create that loyalty needed in this Law School. This is no Commercial Institute. This is a growing, living, breathing, God-inspired institution, endowing each and every one of us with a high intellectual and moral education, sec ond to none in these United States. And the habits of study and the de- velopment of your moral character at this institution are of the highest im- portance to you in your after life. Therefore, it is your duty to support this institution and further its in- terests. It is your duty, and a man is born to expend every particle of strength that God has given him in doing the work he finds he should do — to stand up to it to the last breath of life, and to do his best for his Alma Mater. Thi; Law Libr. ry - - [83] X A w: THE L O Y O L A RHO ALPHA GAMMA FRATERNITY ■Mi S Pledged to the bond of brotherhood and imbued with the true spirit of fraternal regard, a little group of Loyolans, students of the newly established Law De- partment, united their efforts some six years ago and formed what we know today as the Rho Alpha Gamma Fraternity. With the enthusiasm of zealous pioneers these twelve charter members set about to lay a firm foundation for their loyal order. They would insure the perpetuation of their ideals and the lasting relation of a comradeship born of a common interest and a com- mon devotion to their Alma Mater. JI IL ' they launched their ship on the sea of venture to k H H H look for the land of fraternal promise. It was indeed B H as the formation of the fraternity came B HH HI r time when our Law Department was in its struggling infancy. However, they combined their efforts and headed their ship in the right direction. Before long, fanned by the winds of endeavor, they had reached their goal, and the new year found them calmly sailing the sea of collegiate activity, full-fledged and ardently devoted sons, fostering the interests of their Alma Mater. Carl Ragoio That was the beginning. Since then the growth and development of the Frat- ernity has gone hand in hand with that of the Law Department, a constant rise from the time It numbered hut a handful to the present day when its enrollment exceeds forty. Leo Aggeler, one of the twelve charter members, was awarded the presidency of the Fraternity for its first term. Known as Loyal Kefale, Leo established an en- viable precedent and under his wise guid.mce the Frat enjoyed its first year of activity, forming a solid historical background for future development. James Babbitt, succeeded to the presidency for the ensuing term and with the zeal of a leader, took up the work of his pioneer predecessor. Under his administra tion the Fraternity began to expand, initiating the first group of pledges. Adrian Costello was elected to guide the destinies of the Fraternity for its third year. Kind and benevolent, a tireless worker and a perfect brother, he led the Rho Alphas through their third eventful year culminating his term of office with the first annual banquet in favor of the Law Professors. His memory ' is fondly cherished by the Fraternity and by all privileged to make his acquaintance. Bayard Rountree next assumed the role of Loyal Kefale and for its fourth year the Fraternity, under his guidance, steadily advanced, ever developing, ever expanding, ever fostering with affectionate regard, the interests of the college. i [84] T h u L i- - eWio Cavanauch.

The activities and functions of the Fraternity were annually growing more numerous and successful and during his incumbency the Rho Alphas enjoyed their most active and pros- perous year. And now we come to the present term with Carl Raggio as president. Pursuing the policies of preceding years nine new members were recently initiated into its fold. Of the social functions of the year the Oakmont Country Club Formal was outstand- ing. It was held the evening of April 30th, a magnificent event. The final install- mentf on the building fund pledge was paid, crediting the Fraternity with a six-hun- dred dollar subscription. And the climaxing event of the year, the annual Law Ban- quet, in honor of the Professors, will be held on the evening of May 7th. Despite the varied interests of its members the binding bond of brotherhood has ever held them in constant association, in constant touch with their Alma Mater. Brothers Breen, J. Costello, Dutfil and Murphy are the only ones beyond the reach of its call. However, they are kept in c lose communication with their order and are anxiously awaiting the day when they will return to sunny Southern California. Brother Breen, along with Brother Duffil is practicing law in Los Vegas, Nevada. Duffil is in the legal department of the Union Pacific and handles his own practice as well. Brother John Costello is at Tombstone, Arizona, holding a highly executive po- sition in the First National Bank. And Brother Murphy is still pursuing the study of law in San Francisco. Murphy is happily married. Good luck, Warren! An account of the Fraternity would not he complete without a word or two of our Big Brother, Vincent B. Vaughan, now deceased. At the inception of the Frater- nity, an honorary member from among the Law Professors was chosen. The lot fell unanimously on Mr. Vaughan. He assumed the role only too gladly and was one of the boys until he was called from this life. His membership was brief indeed but in that brief period he had won a warm and tender spot in the heart of every brother. His place has been willingly and cheerfully filled by Henry Bodkin, present honorary member from among the Law Professors. And so the end of the year. Just another milestone on the road of time. The Rho Alpha Gamma Fraternity is six years old and what it is today it will be six years hence, in principle and ideals. What progress it has made it will emulate in the future. It stands today a tribute to its loyal founders and to the zealous members of the past six years who have so ardently cherished and fostered it. It is a tribute to their efforts and a monument to the ideals of fraternity. ALUMNI FRATRES Leo. I. Aggeler Robert Anderson Julian Beck Peter Breen Joseph Cauley John M. Costello Paul R.

Wieneman y ST. IGNATIUS DEBATE With the Loyola — St. Ignatius dual debate of November 27, 192 ' ' , Loyola Col- lege entered upon its greatest season of intercollegiate debates. H. Landon Morris, debating manager, had entered his work with a spirit wholly new for Loyola debating managers. A schedule far surpassing any of past years was the welcome fruit of his eiforts. Included in the schedule were debates with St. Ignatius College of San Francisco, Southwestern University, Redlands University, the University of Southern California, Occidental College, and last and greatest of all, Marquette University of Milwaukee. In the latter part of November a Loyola team composed of H. Landon Morris, Maurice O ' Brien and George H. Dunne traveled to San Francisco where they met the Ignatian team in public debate on the, at that time widely discussed, question of whether or not the United States should institute a Department of National Defense placing aviation upon an equal footing with the Army and Navy. The Loyola Team, upholding the negative of the question, was defeated by a vote of the judges, but succeeded in winning the unstinted admiration of the San Fran- cisco audience of some five hundred people. The Loyolans evidenced a marked superior- ity over the Northerners in the art of delivery, drawing forth the praise of the distin- guished judges in that respect. The decision was won by the Ignatian team upon the adjudged merits of their argumentation. On the same evening a Loyola affirmative team represented by Leon Sylvaine, Robert Sullivan and David Sokol met and defeated the St. Ignatius negative team in Los Angeles. The brilliancy of the speakers on both teams was greeted by round after round of applause from the large assemblage. The decision was extremely close, as was the one rendered in the northern city. The debate with St. Ignatius was singular in that it marked the first intersectional debate in the history of Loyola. It was the first time that a Loyola team had carried the honor of the College away from home. The result was gratifying both to the facul- ty and the student body. Particularly pleased was Father George G. Fox, debating in- structor. iT [87] THE L O Y O %. % BossERT, O ' Hara. Aicher. Dunnican, Foster.

The first spirited tilt brought forth a lively discussion. Loyola upheld the affirma- tive. William Byrne and Vincent J. Blumberg were the home speakers. They covered themselves with forensic glory. Southwestern under the tutelage of Mr. William Bar ber demonstrated that it had made vast strides in debating since last year. ith Southwestern in the return Loyola ' s negative team engaged in a fiery tussle debate later in the same week. H. Landon Morris and Geoge H. Dunne represented Loyola. REDLANDS UNIVERSITY A no-decision debate conducted on the open forum plan was the next encounter in which Loyola en- gaged. Debating the same subject as that discussed with Southwestern, H. Landon Morris and George H. Dunne journeyed to Redlands where they met the debating squad of that University. Under the plan of debate, following the close ji the discussion, the audience was permitted a half hour during which questions were asked the speak- ers. An interesting and enlightening discussion was thus elicited. The debate itself was raptly followed by a small but enthused gathering of Redlands students. This h. Landon Morris. encounter marked the inauguration of debating re- lations between our College and Redlands Univer- sity. The latter institution was in quarantine at the time, and, as a consequence, scheduled return debate m Los Angeles was necessarily cancelled. the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA For the second consecutive year Loyola engaged with the University of Southern California in a dual debate. The Trojan teams are always among the strongest in the West and this year was no exception. The first engagement was held in the Touch- [89] THE L O Y O L A Leon Sylvmne William Byrne stone Theatre at U. S. C. H. Landon Morris and George H. Dunne again composed the negative squad representing Loyola. The debate was one of the most interesting of the year. The Loyola negative team followed their usual style of debate by speaking ex tempore. The result was some highly enticing bits of repartee. The Trojan speakers debated with their usual skill, demonstrating a thorough pre- paredness in the fullness of the manner in which they grasped the subject. There was little to choose between the two teams at the close of the discussion. The decision went to the University of Southern California by a judges vote of two to one. Loyola ' s team was highly praised K)th by the Trojan professor of debating, Alan Nichols and by the Daily Tro)an, the campus newspaper. On the following evening Loyola ' s affirmative team, composed this time of William Bryne and Leon Sylvaine, met Mr. Brennan and Mr. Leonard, the U. S. C. negative team. The debate was held before a representative audience in the Knights of Columbus Hall. Both teams handled the subject in a dexterous and capable manner. The feature of the evening was the rebuttal of Mr. Sylvaine. Mr. Bryne displayed rare oratorical ability. His rebuttal, also, was highly praised by the .ludience. The Trojan negative team like its affirmative team, demonstrated thorough prepar- edness and coaching in the logical sequence of their arguments. The cordiality of feel- ing on both sides forecasts the continuation of pleasant relations with the University of Southern California. ! fet: .. [90] THE L O Y O L A MARQUETTE DEBATE Loyola walked off with the biggest debating plum of its history when George H. Dunne and Robert J. Sullivan were awarded the unanimous decision over Marquette University ' s versatile and accomplished forensic representatives, on the topic, Resolv- ed, That this house pities its grandchildren. This contest, held on the evening of March 13, 1926, in the Catholic Girls ' High School, attracted a crowd of seven hundred people, incidentally one of the larg- est and most enthusiastic gatherings of the season. Mr. Dunne, in opening the ease for Loyola, stated that the affirmative which Mr. Sullivan and himself were upholding, would divide their argument, into a considera- tion of the spiritual and material conditions which would exist in our grandchildren ' s day. Mr. Dunne discussed the decay in higher education, how it was constantly tend- ing towards atheism, how religious influence was waning. He contended that by a logical sequence these conditions would be worse in our grandchildren ' s day. Mr. Herbert Steffes, first speaker for Marquette University, in response to the arguments of Mr. Dunne, held that in the past, when conditions became as bad as Mr. Dunne complained, there had always arisen a leader, strong enough to carry his gener- ation through safely. He cited several instances of this. He said that in every age, men had always cried out that the next generation was bound for destruction, but that history later disproved this. Mr, Sullivan, who closed the constructive argument for Loyola, based his case upon the assumption of the idea that all material progress, whether in government, wealth or civilization, depended upon the home, and that if the home was broken up, or was in a process of disintegration, governments and people will fail. He then dis- Arlu McKinxon Herdert Steffes [91] s y THE OLA W::W cussed the divorce evil, birth-control and removal of the mother ' s mfluence from the home, to the busi- ness world and politics. Mr. Arlo McKinnon, sec- ond speaker for Marquette, summed up the debate very clearly, going over the arguments of his oppon- ents, in attempt to tear down their case. In answer to Mr. Dunne ' s contention that education was be- coming more materialistic, he named five of the larg- est universities of the United States, which subscrib- ed to a system of Christian philosophy. He stated that the Affirmative Vi ' ere begging the question, in that they were arguing that this house should pity its grandchildren, when the question read that this house pities its grandchildren, mean- ing as he said, that the audience, at this very mo- ment feels sorry for its grandchildren. Mr. Dunne in his rebuttal, stated that if this audience should pity its grandchildren it would pity them. George H. Dunne Mr. Sullivan summed up the atfirmative ' s debate, by a review of their arguments, while Mr. McKin- non contended that Mr. Dunne had failed in his debate because he had stated that atheism and ma- terialism were rampant in American Universities, and had not named a single one teaching those the- ories, while the negative had named the live leading universities who taught a Christian philosophy. Mr, Dunne, who closed the debate with a three minute rejoinder, prefaced his remarks by saying that his opponents had implied that he was unable to prove his statement regarding the theories being t.iught in our universities today, and that while he h.ited to quote figures, his opponents forced him to He then cited a prominent authority who had made a survey of the curricula, and had attended lectures at over 100 American Universities, in which anti-Chri.stian, materialistic and atheistic principles were being taught. The whole debate was marked by a native wit, and easy flow in the speeches of all the debaters. Personalities entered the discussion just enough to pep up the debate, and left no rankle in the minds of those present. Judges for the de bate were the Hon. Carlos Hardy, Hon. A. L. Stephens, Hon Harry Holher Mr Frank Jenal, acted as Chairman of the evening Robert J. SrLLiv. N [92] IcKij ' in lis liiiiia ' rsilics, the- Jinj k kct lying inatle CLASSES THE William M.

[98] t THE L O Y O L A JUNIOR LAW CLASS OFFICERS President, Lawrence J. Stock Vice-President, Thomas J. Pitts Treasurer, Wilfred E. Ryan. Secretary, Charles E. DeRochie. The Junior Class is about forty strong. This class has remained practically intact since the freshman year and is a truly representative class of St. Vincent ' s School of Law. Lawrence Stock has demonstrated his capability and efficiency as President. In administering his executive duties he has been ably assisted by the following oificers; Thomas Pitts, Vice-President, Charles DeRochie, Secretary, and Wilfred Ryan, Treasurer. Of these the class has probably had the closest contact with Mr. Ryan, who has performed his duties well and willingly. St. Vincent ' s School of Law is a night school. Consequently the majority of students consist of men who are engaged in various pursuits of business hfe Jones Keane BoL. Nn H. sKiNs Collins [99] ' - -w i ig a r OLA 1 Saunders. Coony, Nosek, Schaib. Callanan, Gorman, Blackburn. Morony, Brown, Carroll. Recalado. McCarthy. Montgomery, McDevitt, Sloan during the day time. It is interesting to note the many different walks of life that are exemplified in the personnel of the class. Here, engaged in the study of law arc found bank tellers and clerks, newspaper reporters, insurance men, men engaged in construction, brokers, court clerks, managers of various enterprises, etc. In fact practically anything in the line of human endeavor may be reached through some member of the class. And all these men are studying law. The majority of them intend to practice, yet a good percentage realize the benefits of law and will apply it to their business in the future. In a night school where all the available time is taken up with studies, it i? more or less unusual to find much school activity, yet here are found two assistant football coaches. Jack Nolan and Mart Morony; football and basketball manager, John McLaughlin; baseball manager, Tom Pitts; the captain of last year ' s tennis team, Joe Saunders, and others who are making a name for Loyola in athletic lines. r 100} L U Y U I. Irwin McLalh.hlin Rai.i.kj Thummjn Dudan In scholarship attainments there are men such as Ward SuIHvan, Howard Call- anan, etc., winners of Gold Medals in the past for scholarship and debating. These men do not come before the public eye as much as those engaged in athletics but nevertheless they are materially assisting in spreading Loyola ' s tame. Taken all in all the Junior Class can be placed in the category of a class im- bued with the true Loyola spirit and are sure to be heard from in the future in a man- ner that will make Loyola proud, and make our worthy professors feel that their ef- forts have been well spent. Next year with the advantage of a better library and with, we hope, a full re- turn of all members of the class, the Junior Class of ' 27 will advance to the role of full-fledged Seniors prepared for a final year of work and study. It is in this last year that they will reap the full harvest of the fine work they have completed as Juniors and under classmen. The facility with which they may finish the last and most difficult part of the course will be a better reward for the sincerity they have so far manifested than any praises we might offer.

On account of the heretofore necessity of ro- tating the classes, the Sophomore and Senior classes were combined during the past year, — the Senior Class having completed the first, third and fourth year subjects in preceding years. This combining of the two classes worked a hardship on the class of 28. With the taking of the oral examinations, which are required upon the com- pletion of two years of legal training, the students have ended their period as un- derclassmen and will next year enter upon the first year as upper-classmen. Despite the handicap which many of the students of the class are laboring under, that of working at various pursuits of the business world during the daylight hours, their progress has been rapid and their record a very creditable one.

On Thursday evening, April 1 3 at the Catholic Womans ' Club House, with Austrian and Garner as its representatives the House Debating Society of the Freshman class received a two-to-one decision over the Wheaton debating team. The judges for the affair were representative members of the Municipal Bench. Resolved that a constitutional amendment be enacted permitting the Federal Government to regulate child labor, was the question for debate with Loyola arguing the negative. Mr. Walsh and Mr. Jackson formed the Wheaton champions and presented a well outlined plan of attack. In the rebuttal arguments, for which five minutes were allowed each speaker. Garner . ' hone for Loyola, tearing down the bulwark of their opponents arguments. The debate was the peak of a trans-continental forensic trip by the Wheaton team, who have established a high reputation in the Middle West for their debating squads. Mr. Garner, of the House society is deserving of much praise for his work in staging the forensic duel. [104] I da | (ml ' Wl ATHLETICS AT LOYOLA Rev. George A. Gilbert, S. J., Director LoyoLi ' s athletic heritage is indeed a glorious one. Her predecessor, old St. Vincent ' s, of beloved memory ruled with an imperial hand in the field of Southern California sports. The Saints had to seek their competition in professional fields for baseball, they had to go beyond the boundaries of the state for football, and so on down the line. And who shall say that this magnificent heritage has fallen on barren ground? Today Loyola ' s teams are gaining state-wide recognition for their remarkable achievements. The struggle for a place in the sun during the old Garvan-a days when Loyola was but an infant institution trying to hold its own with so many grown-ups was not made in vain. The day has passed when her students must constantly look to the future for the fulfillment of their hopes along athletic lines. This very year has carried with it an athletic program that would have brought credit to an even much larger institution. New rivals have come to test their mettle with the Lions. St. Ignatius College, in San Francisco, considers the new agreement with Loyola for an annual clash between the two elevens as providing a strong contestant for the honor given the St. Mary ' s- Santa Clara game. Occidental and Redlands are anxious to schedule games with the various Lion aggregations. The task now is, not so much to get games, as to select them with the idea of giving Loyola as fine a season as possible. The past year in football under the leadership of Coach Hess and Captain Paul Currin was one that brought no little pride to ever ' son of Loyola. A thrilling victory, totally unexpected outside of the campus over the heavy San Diego State College eleven carried a jolt for the dopesters and brought words of commendation from the leading critics of the Southland. The U. S. C. Freshmen again packed with them their jinx over Loyola ' s entry to register the only black mark of a splendid season. Where football left off, basketball began. George Casey, the former Boston Col- lege star, had charge and his men started ofi by tackling Montana State and the Uni- versity of Oregon. Then followed games with the Los Angeles Y, U. S. C. Dental, San Diego State, and, in fact, almost every team of consequence within a radius of two hundred miles. With Captain Gus Mclsaac one of the real stars of the season, the Lion five won for itself an admirable record. Effervescent Phil Girard, just bubbling over with true Loyola spirit, captained the Loyola baseball team through a fine schedule. The feat of checking the long string of Southern Branch victories was one of the big feathers in the Nine ' s cap, the Grizz- lies being the outstanding team in the Southland. Tennis enjoyed another good year. Even the doughty U. S. C. team could do no better than split even with the Lion racketeers and, of course, teams of inferior caliber were forced to accept much humilia- tion at the nets from them. Father Gilbert, S. J., the athletic moderator, has fashioned a program for the coming year that will carry on the good work so fittingly begun. [105] THE LOVOLA FOOTBALL MENTOR m ' ' H ifA CuALM Bill Hl s Bill Hess has been accepted as the last word in capability around Loyola, and never gave the fans reason to believe otherwise. The ex-clipper of the Nittany Lions brought to a gross climax the most successful season Loyola has ever enjoyed. He knows the principles of the pigskin like a book, and is well liked by all of his charges. This feeling is evidenced to its highest degree by the spirit in which they take the field, and work for him. Hess favors the open style of game, so popular with the fans at present, and it has proven remarkably successful at Loyola. His ofF-tackle drive, patterned somew ' hat after the Penn State sweep, with the unusually heavy pressure by interferers and the forward pass threat, was one of the best ground gaining plays of the season. The news that the Lion Tamer will be back with his charges again for the 1926 season was greeted with t he unanimous approval of the Student Body and, of course, by the football squad in particular. Hess will have his veteran eleven with him next year, men who know his system and are ver ' capable in carrying it out. Johnnie McLaughlin as a manager has obtained a great schedule for the Lions and Hess has promised to bring them through it with flying colors. ( ' [ 106] THE Y O L HEAD COACH OF BASKETBALL AND BASEBALL Coach George Casey f Casey ' s first year at Loyola has more than met with success. The sorrel-topped mentor left his station at Boston University to expound his doctrine on basketball and baseball, and his pleasing personality as well as his coaching abilities immediately estab- lished him as a favorite among his cohorts. The manner in which he handled the as- signment in his first year certainly deserved plenty of applause. Coach Casey is a brother of Eddie Casey of great inter-sectional football fame at Han.-ard University. But Coach George does not lean on his brother ' s record to gain favor m the athletic world for his own accomplishments at basketball at Boston College speaks for itself. Coach Casey ' s ability to instruct others in the ideas and plays of his own is of the highest degree. An example of his ability might well be taken from the manner m which he took over the basketball squad, replete with material, which was new to him and which in one short week he had taught an entirely new sys- tem of attack and which played with a brand of teamwork that was sufficiently strong to put the fast Y. M. C. A. team to rout in its first game. [107] ASSISTANT COACHES |!0( Jack Nolan, the former All- American guard from Santa Clara moulded a group of outstanding indivi- duals into a machine of well-drilled veterans. His patience and untiring eiforts quickly gained the confidence of his charges. The results of his ef- forts were in evidence throughout the season and his earnestness and ability desen. ' e unlimited praise. Nolan assisted Hess by devoting his afternoons to polishing and developing the Lions ' forward wall. He concentrated on the guards and tackles, for which position he was admirably well-fitted, and as a result Loyola never had such capable men on her line. It was almost impossible to break through them when they had their Irish up. Jack ' s injury to his neck kept him from active play and severely crippled the Santa Clara line for Nolan was a tower of strength around which the rest of the line had been built. He made quite a name for him- self when he played on the Los Angeles eleven against the Red Grange won- der team on its Western tour Line Co. ch Jack Nol.«iN Prep Coach Mart Morony Mart Morony, formerly of St. Mary ' s completed his third year as a member of Loyola ' s coaching staff. Morony is a Junior in the Law Department. Mart ' s past year as mentor of the fast-stepping Preps only shows in part the diligence and crafti- ness of the former student of Slip Madigan. Taking practically green material he instilled into their fer- tile minds the complicated Notre Dame Shift along with a goodly bit of the Morony fighting spirit. The varsity carries a wealth of material which has been previously moulded by Mart ' s hands into first ranking players, while being members of his Prep squad. Mart has worked with the Preps for three years and his success has been very pronounced, not only in the record of his teams but also by the men that he has built up. He will coach at the Catholic Boys ' High School next year and carries with him the thanks and best wishes of the entire college. ! [108] T H MANAGERIAL STAFF Jdhnny Mack needs no introduction to Loyo- la tans. His business abilities are of the first water, and the numerous difficulties associated with the managerial post proved no stumbling block. As Cage Manager, he showed the Lions the best schedule they ever played. Johnny ' s past record speaks well for his new position as Graduate Manager. He has already been on the run ,ind has next season ' s pigskin menu ]ust about complete. With a pilot like Johnny behind the wheel, everyone feels assured of a very successful sea- son in every branch of athletics. Tom stepped up from his position as assist- ant manager last year and worked hard to make this season a success. He lined up a short, but snappy program that aided materially in mak- ing the season what it was. M i John McLaughlin A short time ago, a welcome countenance illuminated the walks of Loyola in the person of Del Layman. Del immediately hit his stride and furnished a complete book- ful of snappy diamond struggles for the Lion Varsity. Thomas Pitts John D. Layman [ 109} THE L O Y O L A PEP PAGE Lane acquitted himself nobly as College cheer leader this year. He has a big supply ( f pep always on hand and ready for use coupled with the ability of instilling it into Dthcrs. Among other things, the graceful Sopho- more introduced the new school song and or- ganised a College Rooting Section. It is a home product, having originated in the minds and through the labors of Loyola ' s mu- sical duo, Tat Nicholson and Al Prockter if Junior College. Next year should see Loyola ' s new anthem on the lips and in the hearts of each and every student. L. NE Guthrie This is Bcrnie ' s second year behind the meg- aphone. His pounding, smashing spirit work- ed up enthusiasm to a fever heat and the crowds responded with rousing demonstra- tions. We might sum up all his assets and say, that he is capable and full of spirit and loyalty. No matter where or when a Loyolan activity occurred, Bernie was always present, ready and rarin to go. Bernie had for his assistants, Val Burke and Martin McGarry. Burke and McGarry hand- ling the yells in the Prep department. Both are apt pupils and will see a great deal of ser- vice behind the Lion megaphone. mm iiRNii-: Kfarnuv [110] -JSKS-sT VARSITY FOOTBALL CAPTAINS Volumes of praise could be written about Beno Currin. But confined to this space the least that can he said of him is that he was a brave and worthy leader. He was one of Hess ' most dependable ground- gainers, and rooters will have several games by which to remember the blond half-back who bowled over tacklers like so many ten-pins. He can travel like a deer, is an apt performer on both ends of a forward pass and drew more tears than an onion from his rivals. Two years under the Hess system has taught him considerable. This knowledge along with some of his wildcat fighting spirit was put to ample use every sec- ond that he graced the turf. Beno ' s guiding spirit was the big factor of our successful season. Captain Currin has two years to go in his collegiate activities. He is undoubtedly one of the highest rank- ing backs in the Southland and with two years ahead of him Loyola should see him winning high honors for the Purple and Gold as well as for himself. Brice was selected to pilot the Lions tor the ' 26 season by the unanimous vote of his fellow-athletes at the Alpha Lambda football banquet. He is a man of natural leading prow- ess, has a pleasing personality, more than his share of grit and courage and is just the type to cause plenty of bulging in both line and backfield. Brice has been a sterling backfield performer for three years and is the ideal m.in to cover the job. His natural football instinct is his best asset. A very accurate pigskin heaver and very com- petent on the receiving end as well, he fits very snug into the Hess scheme which employs the elevated attack for a good portion of its gain. He held down the safety post on the defense, and was never seen to muff a punt or falter upon returning one. C. PT.-FLKCT Jim Tlnney [112] T H b L O Y O L A 1925 FOOTBALL SEASON CHRISTIAN COLLEGE Fans who rambled out to Loyola ' s relined turf to spy upon Bill Hess gilt-edged possibilities in their initial encounter went home to dinner with a colossal appetite after watching the locals do some of their home-made stunts for the Christian College outfit. The Lions introduced the 1925 Grid season by making so much pot-pourri out of the Christians, and walked off the field nursing the heavy end of a 2 -0 score. Coach Hess exhibited a smooth-working backfield in which Currin, Lowery, and Hoeffer capered up and down the gridiron directed by the greatest field Winard that ever played trumps at Loyola, Jim Tunney. Captain Beno Currin was a side-show all by himself. He had all eyes riveted upon him during the game, and besides giving the speedometer a pretty good chance, he certainly did his part in circling the ends, jogging ofF-tackle and plucking forward passes out of the air. Al Hoeifer swiped a good-sised portion of the limelight by the way in which he split all sections of the line with the pigskin with deadly accuracy, he did the booting like he knew one or two things about it. Beno and Al each regist- ered one tally in person and both were greatly responsible for the other couplet. Up in the front rank. Furlong was the big spud [113] L O Y O L A THE L O Y O L A Ten yards ' Currin carried the ball SANTA ANA Warming to the task of going through the hard grind before them, the batthng Lions sunk the hopes of the Santa Ana Grid Crew under a volley of touchdowns, winning handily, 19-0. The scene of battle was laid in the Loyola bowl and it was a roaring crowd that witnessed the greatest football machine ever turned out at the local institution do its stuff. It was a game destined to please the fancy of every football fan. For the students of the grid- iron, there was a rare display of football deception and speed in Loyola ' s well-balanced attack; for the casual follower, there was an eye-iilling sight in the fleet dashes of Captain Beno Currin every time he succeeded in getting past the line of scrimmage; and for the lover of thrills, there was conceded plenty when the Lion elevated attack was put in to play Nine out of eleven passes were completed and the Lions intercepted four more, with Jim Tunney ' s dead- ly clutches promoting most of the damage. The brilliant work of Currin at half, won the crowd. He registered one tally in the third quarter at the completion of a thirty yard run, his shirty upon field running bringing the ball to within scor- insj distance on each occasion. McDcvitt also performed nicely and registered consistently on off-tackle drives. The outstanding laurels for handicraft in the line inclined toward Bernie Donahue. [ nn TliNiNhY J-ACES A PRODLtM The Santa Ana victory created a feeling of optimism along the Loyola campus, which was well deserved as it was this game which aided Coach Hess to iron out the kinks in prepara- tion for the harder struggles which were draw- ing near. The work of the Best brothers in the Santa Ana line was the main factor in the opposi- tion, giving the Lions considerable trouble and forcing them to adopt the aerial route for gains on several occasions. McDf.vitt SANTA BARBARA STATE The Roadrunners of Santa Barbara bowed to Loyola after a merry after- noon of mud-slinging, toe to toe, buck- ing and bitter pastiming on a slow and soggy turf in the Northerners stadium. The 6-0 score broadcasted no suggestions as to the relative ability [1161 THE L ■{ OLA Iraw ' I Plowing through the mud of the two teams, as the Roadrunners were only once withm thirty yards of the Loyola goal. Shovel Sherwood was the big noise of the game, following the hall as the dial follows the sun, and serving as a general source of embarrassment to the enemy. Vince Arloski also added many nails to the Road- runners ' coffin, his slashing work causing great havoc with the morale of the enemy ' s front line of defense. Little time was spent in accounting for the only score of the game which occured in the initial quarter when Al Hoeffer shot over for a touchdown. The Lions were robbed of two more possible scores by the indifference of Jupiter Pluvius. Twice they paraded down the field giving a beautiful demonstration of the manly art of line-bucking and open-field running only to donate the elusive pellet to the opposition after they had practically taken it over the final chalk mark. The time-keeper ' s gun deprived the Lions of another touchdown when it barked with the ball in their possession five yards from the Santa Barbara goal. L 117} THE -yii ' Perfect interference and a clear road SAN DIEGO The early bird, they say, catches the morn- ing worm, and the Lions argued in the affir- mative of that question when they made the San Diego Aztecs hard to iind before a color- ful crowd at the Border City. There may have been games with more sensational playing, with more artistic ball-handling, but none, past or future, will ever appeal to the hearts of Loyola men as did the trouncing of the huge Aztec squad soundly, and without apology, before a highly appreciative audience of ten thousand well-nigh frantic fans in the big San Diego Stadium. Right off the bat, eleven Loyola warriors set up a roust that would have made a bunch of galley slaves look like so many lounge-lizards. Before the half was over, they had waded through the op- position for a pair of touchdowns. They were de- prived of another when Bruiser Brown snatched up a fumble and galloped p.ist the post only to be beckoned back because the referee had already chirped, making the ball dead. Looking back over it all, it seems like a fairy tale the way Captain Beno Currin and Al Hoeffer side-swiped the ends, ran the tackles and piled over the white chalk lines; and the way in which Tun- ney hurled the pig-skin to its every mark with dead- ly accuracy. Ed Lowery, though battered severely. f:i?.i -if [118] ' ' ■55s ii - THE L O Y O L ClKRI.N KL 1 K IN-. III mil kept hammering at the line, twisting off tackle and was in there fighting like a whole ringful of game-cocks. Spike Haddock, at guard, was hot to get his pound of flesh and was one of the de- fensive stars of the game. Red Mannion kept dumping the interference and didn ' t give the Southern backfield stars a ghost of a chance to caper around his end. The San Diego game will ever live in the minds of all who were fortunate enough to see it, for dollars to doughnuts, it was as great an exhibition of football as was ever staged on the gridiron of the Border City. U. S. C. FROSH Football fans who journeyed out ot the Coliseum to view the collision between the Lions and the Trojan Yearlings con- vinced themselves that a moral victory ' is something which, unfortunately, had to be tolerated in the Bill Hess scheme. Bill turned out what was probably the best collection of militia that ever per- formed for the Purple and Gold; yet [119] THE L O D L A An off-tackle drive Loyola was not happy for the Frosh won again. The Lions cashed a big check down in San Diego and then ventured out to the Cohseum to peddle a bit of goods where men are also men. The young fellows from Troy got down on their knees to pray to the goddess of random, spun the wheel of fortune, and bounced Loyola over the tilt- yard. It was a tough finish to an otherwise beautiful season. The Lions were first to score, pushing the oval all the way down the field on straight football with Al Hoeffer and Ed Lowery siftmg through the center of the line like a couple of worms through a tunnel. And the gaps that Haddock, Donahue and Sher- {( wood opened up for them looked like the aisles of a big fruit orchard. The Lions played a bang-up defensive game. Only four tmies did the opposition succeed in getting through, and when they did they found a weak secondary defense to greet them. Three of these runs brought the trio of t iuchdowns that the young Trojans registered to win the contest. Clancy Furlong, as usual, packed his little bag of tricks along with him and scattered them right and left while his playmate, little Red Mannion, was making the famous Jesse Hibbs be good. Bruiser Brown at the other end was a sea of trouble, both on offense and defense and tore off a beautiful run when a kick-off dropped from the skies into his waiting basket of arms. Every time the enemy tried to penetrate the center of the line, they punctured a hornet ' s nest, thanks to the plucky Sherwood. [ 120] ■J THE L O Y O L A.

Mclsaac, Lowery, O ' Hara, Mannion, Wcrts, Gibbons, Montgomery. The Lions played an open game in the last two quarters, but their elevated attack was off-balance, and about as effective as a moth on a suit of armor. Loyola had undoubtedly the best and hardest-hitting eleven of the two teams first placed on the field but the Frosh army was not limited to the near dozen that they first placed on the field. To the tired Loyolans it seemed that there were endless thousands of subs ready to replace their tiring brethren and as the knock ' em down and drag ' em out affair could not hope to last forever, the flower of Loyola ' s hopes wilted and died away in the hot afternoon sun. Bill Ford, Frosh back, carried the ball on the pea-greener ' s scores. With the exception of the gains that he made by his shifty open field running and sudden re- verses and changes of pace, the Trojan Babes did not make any long gains. It was a tough game to lose. [ 121 ] THE L O V O L A The Varsity football squad was banqueted on Saturday night, January 16, at the Elite, by the Alpha Lambda Fraternity. George Dunne, the smooth-tongued orator of the Alpha Lambdas and debating fame, acted as toastmaster, and his perpetual wit and humor tickled the palates of those present probably more than the victuals spread before them. The feature of the evening ' s chapter of events was the announcement that Jmi Brice Tunney was unanimously chosen to pilot the LIONS for the season ot 1926 The sorrel-topped quarterback received a tremendous hand. Father Bell, S. J., touched the soft spots of all, regarding them as pioneers of Loyola, and pried into the future to reveal the eventual success of Loyola. Phil Girard, Student Body President, also displayed a burst of eloquence and chanted the welfare of the Varsity as well as congratulations to the Alpha Lambdas. Other speakers of the evening were: Coach Bill Hess, Captain Beno Currin, Captain-elect Jim Tunney, Tom McGovern, Law School President and Herb Meade, Prep School premier. When Coach Hess, the man who placed Loyola on the grid atlas, was introduced, he received an ovation that shook the chan- deliers, and would make a rooting section sound like a hospital zone. Bill respond- Dw™- ' vvith a very impressive bit of orator ' , • I w ' hich proved him to be one of Loyola ' s most true and able backers. The banquet was closed with a very stirring talk by the toastmaster. m [122] THE L O Y O L A :di tjiin In former years the banquet was given by the Student Body. This was a great strain on the slender purse of the Student Body treasury. This year the Alpha Lambda Fraternity realising the e.xpense of the football banquet on the Student Body, generously stepped forward and offered to bear the full e.xpense of the evening. This is a true manifestation of the spirit that will make Loyola the college of our dreams. The Alpha Lambda Fraternity is to be congratulated for its spirit and thanked for its assistance to the Student Body in this matter of the Football Banquet. It is hoped that other organizations of Loyola will in the future come to the assistance of the Student Body in sponsoring these affairs which are so difficult for it to put over on account of the limited finances of the organisation. Tables at the banquet were set for a number of forty-nine half being the place occupied by Bernie Matthews, team mascot little chap has faithfully followed the Lions for several seasons and is their staunchest booster. After being hoisted to a prominent position on his chair by those sitting near him he addressed the assembly bravely until stage fright fought Its way uppermost — at which time he sud- denly sank from view amid the creamy folds of the cloth. half— the half pint [ 123] THE LOVOLA Grid C ' .limpsfs [ 124] ■1 ' t ' ti v-i -H ' ' iZ ' THE L O Y O L A VARSITY BASKETBALL ♦ .yi Of Dusty ' s qualities it is useless to give any ex- ample; it ' s a ten to one shot that every Loyola stu- dent is well acquainted with his playing as well as his abilities as a leader. On the floor he was as fast as a whippet and had mor e eyes than a potato when it comes to lo- cating the basket. In a word. Dusty set a high mark for future casaba captains to shoot at as he has held the high point record for the three years and is the fastest floor man that ever donned the Lion trunks. Captain A.m.ls McIsaac When the portals of basket-ball were swung open, Loyola trotted out a quintet that parked right up in the front ranks of the Southern California representatives, and when the season had run its course and Coach Casey got his report card he found that he had won six games and had lost but three. The squad was quite deceptive and as fast as a Culver racer. Captain Dusty McIsaac, forward, and Jim Sresovich, crack pivot man, were both floormen par-excell- ence and teamed together like the Siamese twins. Dan Marshall and Jim Tunney sang their little ditty under our opponents ' basket, and put on a nifty guarding act. In the early portion ot the season, the team was handicapped by the lack of a capable run- ning-mate tor McIsaac, but when Deak Despars stepped up from the rank and file and started selling his wares Coach Casey was never in hot water. Y. M. C. A. GAME The Lions broke the ice by trampling the local Y. M. C. A. five on the home court, handing them a 19-6 defeat. Loyola was never in danger, lead- ing all the way. Captain McIsaac dropped the casaba through i ' the loop with telling regularity, and had collected eleven points 3 ' ' when the curtain rolled up. Gus also showed some pretty good f ■ - floorwork, dribbling through the Y squad like water through Bk a funnel. The Young Men ' s outfit had given the Lions a great deal of trouble in former years and the easy victory came as quite a shock to them but a great joy to us. Last season these two aggre- gations waged a hard fought series. I ' [ 126] ■ ' tS! ! - THE L O Y O L A Y. M. C A GAME Each team had won a game until the play-off in the A.A.U. tournament, when Loyola forged out in front to take two out of three. However, this year ' s victory sei-ved to put the Lions way up in the old victory column. Sensational shots lired from every corner added a dash of color to the contest at various stages and were responsible for a good portion of the score. The way every man handled the casaba was fit for poets to write about. Although from the opening whistle to the breaking of the tape the Y was outclassed, still, in the final seconds they made a desperate attempt to recover lost territory, but to little or no effect. SANTA BARBARA The Santa Barbara State hoopsters were the next to wilt under the Loyola attack, and after a breathless evening in casaba pitching the Roadrunners fell on the bottom of a 21-13 count. The squads used the local gym for a battle ground. Although the Lions set the pace throughout the affair, their goal was con- sistently threatened. The handiwork of Dan Marshall was greatly responsible for the setback. Dan played one of the guards and was just like the plug in the keg, nothing got past him. He has been a marble pillar on the Lion squad for four seasons and has de- veloped better each season until the present time finds him as one of the best garrisons in Southern California. Dan has come to the end of his collegiate playing, and the gap he will leave open, when next year ' s roll is called, will be as hard to fill as the Grand Canyon. Marshall and Jim Tunney make up the most formidable staff of guards Loyola has ever had. Gus Mslsaac was again high point man, registering thirteen digits. The Lions had a bone to pick with the Roadrunners and they tore it all to pieces. They ventured up to the latter ' s court last year and were tendered one of the biggest upsets ever dealt out in these sections. The setback only served to make this fracas more hotly contested. Every athlete set out with a set determination to avenge the defeat. The referee had a busy time keeping himself clear of the play and on occasion was caught in a rush and trampled under foot, bringing a ripple of laughter from the spectators. Despite this slight reversal of sporting decorum he regained his feet with a smile and was hot again on the trail of the ball. [ 127] , ,,ill((WiV-V f - ' THE L O V O L A SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY Southwestern University escaped from the Lion ' s den ahvc but not untarnished when they walked off with both ends of a series, taking the iirst by a 27 to 20 margin, and walloping the home hoopsters 38 to 1 ' i in the second section. Both games were tightly contested, more so than the score would indicate. The Lions had plenty of opportunity to tally, but the casaba would roll around the ring for a while and bounce off as if the basket had halitosis and its company was unbearable. Reserves were sent in, but to no effect. Perfect team work was employed in getting down the court, but poor eyesight was in ■ J vogue when it came to locating the cash register. All of which j« means it was a tough couplet to drop. Just what the main difficulty was remains a mystery, but in due respect to the players, we might remark that they were a hit off form. They did not employ the style they had display- ed in the previous encounters, nor the speed they flashed in the aftermath. Passing, recovering, dribbling. Coach Casey ' s athletes played circles around the opposition but as casaba tossers they were about as accurate as a puppy scratching a flea with a broken leg. Jim Sresovich, always a cool, reliable player was the only one able to find himself. Jim seldom has an off-day and is a dyed-in-the-wool basketballer. Always in the pink of condition, he finds little trouble in keeping pace with the parade. Jim is a veteran on the Lion squad, having played through several seasons. The basketball fever is a family trait, for Jim ' s father, Mr. Sresovich, is one of Loyola ' s staunchcst backers. For the past season he has acted in the official capacity of scorekeeper and statistician for the Lion ' s squad, and follows it through its Srisovich victories and defeats no matter where or when the games are played. Loyola ends her second season of athletic relations with Southwestern University. Before the beginning of the past season the percentage col- umn of wins and loses was evenly balanced but the latest two defeats tilt the average in favor of the enemy. Loyola places the same team on the floor next year, with the exception of the loss of Dan Marshall, and it is to be hoped that it will regain the lost prestige and bolster ' . up the Lion end of the register. If Coach Casey can de- velop a few sharpshooters for the coming season it is firmly believed by the Loyolans that the University cart can and will be upset and the jinx trampled underfoot. The first game was played in the Lion pavilion before a large crowd of rooters representing Kith institutions. In the return game the University played host at the Poly High gym- nasium. ! [ 128] THE L O Y O L A SAN DIEGO STATE Loyola next took on S.ui Dict;o State and sent them home wresthng with a 20 to 14 defeat; but in the second number of the same series the tables were reversed. The Lions got it square in the neck at the border pavilion and when the final chirp sounded, found themselves at the bottom of the pile. It was a hard fought game, the A:tecs harpooning the exaggerated end of a 2.i to 17 difference chiefly because they dropped the majority of their free-tosses through the barrel hoop. Brice Tunney did plenty to stop the onslaught but the free throws spelt doom. Jim was stationed at one of the guarding jobs and tried his best to keep the enemy ' s basket ' casaba-proof. Tunney has the game down to a fine point science. He has proved himself to be consist- ent; cool under fire, and follows the ball like pedestrians should follow a traffic signal. He has an uncanny ability of dropping back to the guarding zone just at the right moment when the patch is being threatened and the melons are about to be thrown in the basket. In the initial encounter the Aztecs took the lead, but Loyola started the ball rolling and were soon on top. Gus Mclsaac and Jim Sresnvich both played a whale of a game, the former hanging up 27 points for the series. The dual encounters both furnished all the excitement the most rabid basketball fan would have the nen. ' e to expect. They even rivaled the great grid tussle for thrills which gave the Lions an athletic edge over the Aztecs. The score wavered jike a flivver fender and was never lopsided. A field goal meant more than just an- other crack at the basket, as it often shifted the lead from one team to the other. Both contests were won by a scant point score garnered in a last minute rally. In the first the Lions came to the fore and in the second the proceedings were sadly re- versed. Any further competition between these two institutions, should prove extremely interesting from the fans ' standpoint. CHRISTIAN COLLEGE The Lion squad followed the Aztec defeat with a pair of wins from the Christian College outfit. Loyola took both por- tions of the series with ease, spilling them 26 to 14 on the home floor, and by virtue of a ?6 to 18 margin left them in their own gym as dead as salt herring. Deak Despars and Gus Mclsaac shared honors for the brace, both being responsible for an even dozen markers in the primary, and flashing 10 and 16 points respectively in the after- t 129] THE L O Y O LA math. ' Deak showed the fans some of the most beautiful shots rung up this season opening a fire on the basket that would put a machine-gun on the sick list. Despars is a graduate of the Preps and is one of the fastest men on the floor. His first year speaks well for his possibilities in the future. At the beginning of the season Coach Casey was at a loss for a running m ate for Captain Mac, and, as a result, the scores were not up to snufF. But with the advent of Despars, the basket mentor had a pair of fast forwards, ready and able to hold up the Lion honors on the shooting range. Loyola looked a million strong during both games with the Triple C. outfit, using a fast brand of teamwork and perfectly timed passing that was a pleasure to watch. Plays were used from the center position to great advantage, with Jim Sres getting the jump consistently. Coach Casey benched his regulars after the games had been placed in the ice box and trotted out several new com- binations for a trycut. The enemy rallied on both occasions and garnered several points but the new Lions soon became acclimated and the tide was stemmed. U. S. C. DENTAL COLLEGE In the final struggle on the home floor, the Lions took a fall out of the fast U. S. C. Dental quintet and sent them back to their abode with a 2? to 11 setback to brood over. It was Loyola all the way and back again. The den- Despars jjjjg were unable to chalk up one field goal in the last half, Jim Sresovich, stellar pivot man, went like a million and did to the enemy what barbed wire does to a pair of breeches. Jim gathered ten points and throughout the affair was as elusive as a bar of soap in a tub. Captain Mclsaac also kept his head up and had eleven digits on his score card. Bernie Donohue also attracted attention by his stellar performing. Donohue served his first year on the varsity in this last season. He has been considerably handi- capped, due to the fact that he was about as stationary as the ace of spades in a poker game. He has been seen at guard, center and forward and would have played more positions had they been available. However, he showed well at each of the various assignments the guarding job having the edge. The U. S. C. Dental squad has always placed a fast team out on the floor and on several occasions has held its own with the University outfit. Year after year it has entered high rank- ing teams in the A. A. U. tournaments, and it was only the perfectly developed teamwork of the Lion aggregation that upset the dope bucket in the right direction. [130] THE L O Y O L A Once the quintet got under way they resembled perpetual motion as far as the spectator was concerned. More like the smooth working of a Super SoandSo, ' 26 model, automobile motor, than the pro- duct of h e individu.ds. This teamwork, squared off with a few sensational flashes, stole the show for the evening, and enabled Loyola to upset the Dentists for the most sound spank- ing of the year. PRE-SEASON GAMES The Lions played host to the University of Oregon and also to the Montana State teams in a pair of pre-season games and were decisively walloped by both visiting aggregations. Donahue The games do not carry the sting of full-fledged defeats because of the fact that they were played during Christmas week, when bouquets are in order and the Lions presented a pick-up team for slaughter. Practice had been very irregular and had been going but a week and it was with difficulty that a team was brought together due to the fact that the members were slaving during the holiday period at various scattered jobs. Wee Willie Mahedy, the Lion rotund athlete also made himself conspicuous by his steady drudgery at the stationary guarding post during the season. This position is all cut out for Bill, for when he is parading around under the enemy ' s basket, their scores are about as scarce as the iuzz on a turtle ' s back. This is his second season for the hoop sport and his first as a letter man. The big guard will return next year and will be a handy man for one of the guard jobs. Coach Casey should be complimented on the results of his first season of coaching the Lion five. The record of his team was very gratifying considering the fact that it was their first year of play under a new sys- tem. The sole blemish on the successful season was the lack of support. Only a small group of rooters traveled with the team and only in the Lion pavilion did the crowd turn out in sufiicient numbers to give the squad proper sup- port. [ 131 ] THE L O V O L A Cavanauch Clrrin George Beno ' Currin, of grid tame, put in his first year as Varsity basket-ball material and showed signs of developing into an Al hoop-artist before his college days shall have expired. Extremely fast on his feet and quick to learn, Beno made a very good bid for the place beside Captain Mclsaac. He did remarkably well, playing under the pressure of inexperience. His consistent forging ahead, made plenty of c impetition and will establish him high in the ranks of Loyola ' s future casaba hopes. Jack Cavanaugh was one of the new hoopsters to be seen in action on the Lion floor which speaks well for the brand brought forth from the Law School. Full of hustle and capped by a world of pep. Jack made the regulars step a fast clip to hold their doubtful positions. Although not an excellent shot, he possessed a bundle of wit and a world of floor knowledge. These assets coupled with the desire to outdo him- self, made Jack a very valuable man to have around. Al George came to Loyola as a pleasing gift from a seasoned foundry of basket- ball, the University of Maine. George is also a law student and the time he gave to the sport at length overpowered his wiry constitution and finally forced him to doff his suit for the rest of the season. While in the game, his intense speed and power to shift as if on springs, coupled with a level head and an excellent passing ability certainly helped to bolster up points made weak by bigger opponents. [ 132] THE L O Y O L A VARSITY BASEBALL Coach Casey Sherwood TUNNEY J. LyDON LOWERY Hurley CURRIN V. Lydon Haddock Halt Capt. Girard Hoeffer Gibbons In the ciirlicr part of March when America ' s national pastime found its way to every sport-follower ' s tongue, Loyola athletes saw fit to bury the casaba, and devote the lion ' s share of their attention to the developing of a representative horsehide squad that could hold its own against any collegiate competition that might be furnished in these sections. So when Coach Casey first issued unies there were some twenty-five odd candidates ready to cash in on their diamond ability. Phil Girard, captain and crack inficldcr, assisted Casey in driving the men at a stiff pace in anticipation of the schedule which was to be one of the hardest ever at- tempted by a Loyola nine. On paper, the Lions shaped up well in the field with a weakness if any in the swatting and hurling corps. But once the season got under way, matters were just the opposite. They were getting more than fair pitching, and were clouting like an army of trained carpet beaters, while the fielding went on the rocks. This is exactly exemplified in the second Gru:ly game. Coach Casey, although moaning over the loss of players such as Dan Marshall. Fanny Meiding, Frank Harvey and Ted Duffy, put out a typical squad for which Loyola has been noted in past years. Doing drudgery on the mound were Gus Mc- Isaac, Paul McCormick, Louis Halt and Vic Lydon, a formidable twirling staff when sized up man for man. i ' ilmi . ri34] THE L O Y O L Behind the platter, Jiie Gibbons h.is been doint; most of the acting, with Spike Haddock stepping in on sundry occasions. There was no need of worry in the infield with the veterans Tunney, Girard, Currin, Mclsaac and Sherwood taking the bulk of the burden. Out in the meadows cavorted Ed. Lowery, Al Hoeffer, Joe Ly- don and Frank Hurley. Al Hoef- fer is probably the most improved ball player on the lot, his hitting, fielding, and reliable right arm having all figured to a great extent in Lion victories. Captain Phil Girard Loyola launched the season with four defeats right off the bat, due to no other cause than poor lielding. Had the athletes fielded up to standard, probably every one of these games would ha -e been pocketed as a victory, for the hurlers were more than holding their own on the mound. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA OF LOS ANGELES In the initial series of the season, Coach Casey ' s lashing Lions, met the fast- traveling U. C. L. A. Grizzlies, and with each fray eclipsing the one previous for thrills, were shown the weak end of the group, the Grizzlies taking two victories, and the Lions trailing with one. Only in the last encounter did the locals display the brand of ball for which they are noted, although they outhit and outpitched the Branch in each of the trio. The opener, which was the first play of the season for both squads, was an elongated affair, with the Branch winning by a nose in ten stanzas. The damage was done when Berlenbach tripled and came in on a single, making the count ' i ' 6. Gus Mclsaac toiled on the mound for Loyola, and although allov ' ing only five bingles, the breaks downed him m the last two frames. Al Wagner started for the Grizzlies, but was found for five runs on the fourth, and incidentally chased off the hill. Wagner went along smoothly for a while, but when the Lions started firing in all directions he didn ' t have a chance. All he did was to shoot the pellet down the alley and duck his head. Ed. Lowery launched the disturbance by clouting out a triple to left. Tunney drew a pass, and Mclsaac fol- lowed with a round-trip ticket, scoring the sacks. Hoef- fer drew a life on an error and Gibbons went to first [135] Shlrwood THE L O Y O L A when Wagner buried the ball in his ribs. Girard was walked, loading the pillows. Hoeffer came home on an in- field out, and Gibbons scooted across the penta gon on a wild pitch, ending the Lions scoring for the game. However, the five-run lead was not long sustained. The Grizzlies gathered three markers in their half of the same stanza on a walk, a double, two miscues and a sacrifice. Things stood that way until the ninth when the count was tied with a walk followed by a pair of singles. One more inning and the old ball game was passe. The second fracas turned out to be a farce. The Grizz- lies collected, 11-4, although they were outswatted two to one. McCormick breezed along pretty well for four innings ti ' ' allowing but one hit and one run, and was extracted from the box for some reason or other. Louie Halt went in, and although he held the opponents to three scattered blows, an even dozen blunders made by the Lions more than offset the good work of both chuckers. In their de- f ense it must be stated that flaws in fielding played an important part in each of the eleven markers registered by the Branch. The Lions handed the Grizzlies a severe lambasting in the third of the series, due to the fact that they outplayed them in every department. The old reliable, Gus Mclsaac, started with Gibbons doing the backstopping, while Al Wagner toiled for the Grizzlies. Both twirlers did good work, but Dusty ' s edge was revealed by the 4-2 count in the Lions favor. Loyola started their scoring hot out of the oven when Lydon singled on the first ball pitched, and came home on Eddie Lowcry ' s homer over the center fielder ' s head. The Branch quickly abbreviated the Lions two run lead and hung up one tally in the third frame on a pass, a double, and a single. However, the Lions, not to be outdone with a one run lead, set out in the fourth to do a little solic iting. Their quota was one couplet. Lowery sent a one-base swat to center and Mclsaac drew up at first on a fielder ' s choice. Currin singled and Lowery sprinted home. Dusty followed on a breach of horse- hidc etiquette by the Grizzly shortstop. This put an end to the Lion scoring. The Vermont Avenue boys registered one more tally in the eighth. Dusty Mclsaac was in almost perfect form, keeping the few Grizzly swats scattered, and did more whiffing than an electric fan. He showed no less than eight players the back seat on strikes. Gus also collected a pair of bingles, with Lowery and Beno Currin doing the same proportion of stickwork. [136] ■ ' ' !Ss  i aK- THE L O Y O LA UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA One of the heaviest games on the Lion menu was the Trojan scramble. The boys knew they were facing one of the most Hkely looking squads in the State, and were it not for a few tough breaks, would have ascended the di:;y heights of victory. Coach Casey ' s coht)rts clubbed their way to a small lead which was quickly overcome by a slight miscalculation of a near-sighted umpire, said decision cinching said victory. It all happened in the second inning. Gus Mclsaac who had been chucking good ball was confronted of a sudden with three loaded sacks and proceeded to squelch the dis- turbance by fanning two men. He had three and two on the next batter and cut the plate with a perfect strike. But it was not recorded as a strike in the score book and a run was urged across the rubber. This would have put three away, but Hobbs Adams, the next man up slapped out a three bagger to right and the game was lost. The Trojans garnered two more later in the fray, one by a four-ply clout, and the other resulting from a pair of singles and a Lion muff. Loyola cashed in on a run in the fourth when Mclsaac tripled over the right gardener ' s person and came home on Hurley ' s long fly to the same spot. The sixth was another big inning for the local boys. Mclsaac and Currin singled respectively, and Al HoefFer chased them both home with a clean triple to the center pasture. The lat- ter was left marooned on third as the side went out. Al shone like a Tomcat ' s eyes in the dark. He found Manuel Laranetta for a double as well as his triple and was just like a mag- net out there in the meadows, making two beautiful, classy snags, one on a short fly •ifter stumbling on a portion of superfluous lumber and another on a swat that soared over his cranium and resembled a homerun. Strange to relate, the Lions outhit their rivals, and but for the ump ' s decision in the second should have packed the pork home. f 137} THE L O Y O L A CALTECH Caltcch, the Engineer school of the Milhonaire city, handed the Lions a tough setback in one of their dual games, but were defeated in the other in a fair ex- change. The early affair went to the Engineers by a 9-7 score, chiefly because the Lions were wanting in power to hold their lead. McCormick and Lowery started for Loyola in the opener while Maechtlen and Fricker formed the Tech Battery. Tech started the scoring in the first inning and repeated in the third, while Loyola duplicated in the opener by successive hits by Lydon and Lowery and chalked up two more in the second frame. The Engineers came right back in the fourth stanza tallying four markers on a furlong ticket and four singles again in the fifth; a single, two errors and a man hit by pitcher chalked up three more runs and ended the scoring. Lowery started the fifth for the Lions by walking and tore down to second on the first ball; Tunney then took one on the shoulder and Mclsaac singled. Curnn was safe and Louie Halt drove them in with a clout to the right. The locals scored one more run on the sixth on three singles and called it a day, trailing on the short end of the 9-7 score. Halt relieved McCormick in the sixth but six walks coupled with three errors had decided the issue. The lo- cals however outhit their opponents 14-6. Lydon and Lowery collecting three bingles and Gus, Jim Tunney and Halt smacking out two apiece. The Lions were out to even the series in the second tilt. Gus Mclsaac put his toe to the mound with Gibbons on the receiving end of his hooks. Maechtlen and Fricker formed the Beaver battery and each chucker pitched a good brand of ball, the game going 10 innings to a 7-6 score with Loyola copping the grav ' . The Micks scored two in the first inning and two in the second; Lowery cleaning the sacks with a double. Tun- ney dented the rubber again in the seventh, being singled home by Mclsaac. [138] Joe Lydon THE L O Y O L A The Engineers tied the score, however, and the two teams fought each other to a stand- still. In the tenth the Micks broke the dead- lock, scoring twice on Currin ' s single and Halt ' s triple. The Beavers also staged a hectic rally but it fell short of its mark. Beno Currin stole the batting honors with four hits, while Louie Halt garnered a single and a triple. Gus pitched the whole game with a dislocated thumb, bearing down in the pinches. WHITTIER The next engagement was with Whittier with the poets acting as hosts, but as hosts Lydon they were not very generous to their visitors. Vic Lydon tossed the first ball, but his inexperience got the best of him. The result was that when he faced the Quaker sluggers, he was hit to the extent of five runs, enough to sew up the ball game as the final count was 6-3, the lopsided section going to the home boys. Lydon was yanked in the third, retiring in favor of Paul McCormick who twirled one of the best games of the season. Paul, usually inclined to be a little wild, located the platter and had the Poets eating out of his hand. He fanned no less than ten men in the six innings that he worked and permitted but one scratch hit and the same amount of scoring, said run coming in on an error. In the initial frame, Ed Lowery caught hold of one of Keating ' s fast ones and gave It a pass-out check to journey over the middle wall. However the Lion lead lasted about as long as a frankfurter in a dog kennel as the Poets retaliated with a couplet in their half. Three more in the second and one in the third, and they decided thereafter to use the platter for standing purposes only. The Lions came back with one run in the seventh and eighth frames. They also threatened heavily in the fifth and the ninth, replenishing the cushions on each occasion, but they lacked the necessary punch to put over a single marker. The work of McCormick certainly came in handy. This is his first year on the Lion Varsity, as he came from the Southern Branch where he turned out for the Frosh nine. Incidentally he did some nice work against the Gristly Varsity in the second game of the season. --h- f 139] THE L O Y O L A ALUMNI In the annual game with the Loyola Alumni, neither squad was conceded an edge over the other, with a result that when the time came to cease, they were all tangled up like a pretzel in a 4-4 tie. The old-timers, after extinguishing some of the kinks and creases from their limhs, soon showed some of their form for which antique Lion hors ehide regiments are famous. It was a real representation of the old pictures that decorate the halls come true to life. All the old grads were there pulling for the ex-Lions and from the first gong to the last, the rivalry was at a high pitch and as pronounced as a whale in a punch howl. Tiny Elder mounted the hill for the Alumni with Jack Nolan on the receiving side of the midget- chucker ' s slants. Captain Fanny Meiding had his full strength in the infield. He, himself guarded the Keystone pillow, with the sensational Joe Klinkhammer on first, Whitey Hoffman surrounded the torrid corner, and Lee Murrin was run- ning wild between second and third. In the outer meadows galloped Joe Royere, Dan Marshall and Frank Harvey. P.iul McCormick and Joe Gibbons tailored the Lion battery. The former yielded two runs in the first when Klinkhammer singled and Dan Marshall followed up with the same offerings and both came home when the pellet sneaked through Joe Lydon s pedals. Casey ' s cohort ' s shortened up the gap on a free ducat to first, an infield out and a miscue. But the Alumni put over another in the second on two one- ply swats and an error. The Lions retaliated in their li.ilf on a double by Currin and a single by McCormick, The Micks evened up the count in the fourth staiua on a pair of singles by Currin and Gibbons and a fielder ' s choice, and forged in the lead in the ensuing frame by virtue of a single by Lowery, a pass to Tunney and Currin ' s third blow of the game. ' f kfi ih.. [ 140} THE L O XT ' OLA McCJORMICK Jdi- Roycrc drew a life on an error and galloped the trail to home on a tvvo-baggcr by Khnkhammer, tying a knot m the score in the eighth inning. The Micks garnered ten swats altogether, with Beno ( irrin leading the p.irade. McCormick followed in second place with two singles out of the decade. Le ' )S ANGELES ATHLETIC CLUB Succumbing to the southpaw wiles of Pruett and an avalanche of assorted base hits the Lions went down to defeat before the crack Los Angeles Athletic Club nine on Saturday, April 17 by an 11 to ? count. The Lions took an early lead when Joe Lydon tnppled to deep center and scored on Mclsaac ' s infield out in the first inning and Al Hoeffer increased that lead when he lifted the horsehide over the right field fence in the third inning. Louie Halt, side arm twirler, held the two run lead which his mates spotted him until the fifth inning when he injured his shoulder and was forced to take an early trip to the clubhouse. Taking up the pitching burden in the next inning McCormick was put in hot water by two infield errors and a base on balls. Hollis Leake, L. A. A. C. second baseman and former big leaguer, doubled down the left field foul line to clear the sacks and start the big parade, and when the rain of base hits had ceased seven runs were scored. Loyola threatened in the seventh when Lydon beat out a bunt and took second as Eddie Lowery w-as making the first station on a slow bouncing infield single. Both advanced a station to make room for Tunney who received a free ticket. Lowery was caught off second base and Lydon was nipped at the plate as he at- tempted to score on the run-down. However, Tunney scored from first on the same play when Banning, late of the Coast League, threw wildly to third base. From then on the result was never in doubt but Casey ' s past timers kept hustl- ing the entire route but failed to dent the rubber again. Babe Norton, ex-varsity first baseman, cavorted in center field for the Club outfit and connected for a safety besides snagging several difficult chances in the field. A running catch of a foul fly by Al Hoeffer in the eighth frame gave the Loyola rooters something to yell about and J. Hal Tunney furnished the exhibition of plain and fancy tumbling digging up bad throws at first base besides contributing a single to the base hit column. Gibbons caught a steady game for the Lions and rammed out a one base hit to help the cause along. [ Ml ] THE L O Y O L A And now, for the remaining games of the season. This copy, going to press in time for the publication of the Annual must necessarily precede half of the games on the schedule. From the games played thus far, one is apt to draw a pessimistic view of the season, unless perhaps he has seen a few of them and the type of baseball which Loyola ' s team plays. Every season has its cloudy days and the baseball season is no exception. In mectmg Occidental the Lions matched up against the strongest club in the Southern Conference and acquitted themselves nobly, as a fast, hard-hitting ball team. In prac- tically every game of the year the Lions have collected more hits than the opposition. Two games were lost by one run. Two by two runs and two were lost through the proverbial breaks of the game. The games v ' hich followed those whose stories appear above afforded several vic- tories for the Lions. The Branch, Cal-Tech, U. S. C. Dental, Whittier, U. S. C. Varsity, and Santa Barbara State completed one of the longest and hardest schedules ever undertaken by Loyola College. The game with the Roadrunncrs terminated the season and it was a fine ending to a long year. The Lions have this year faced the toughest schedule in the history of Loyola ath- letics. If they did not emerge with a clean slate it was through no fault of theirs but rather to the greater glory of their conquerors. It is indeed commendable to be a constant winner. But a constant winner is very seldom found. What is even more commendable is to be a constant fighter in adversity and that was the role of the Lions in a truly successful season. [ 142 .1 r H E L O V O L A TENNIS At this writing the tennis schedule is not yet completed, but negotiations for matches with the strongest teams in Southern California are still pending. This season, Loyola has without a doubt, the strongest tennis team in the his- tory of the institution. But one match has been played resulting in a thrilling hair- breadth decision for U. S. C. The score stood at 4-3. Only the fact that the Lion stars Ciano and Saunders lacked precision and coordination so necessary in doubles play and which comes with frequent practice, prevented the Lions from completely w.dloping U. S. C. As it was, the Lions captured the first three single matches easily hut dropped the doubles which were the deciding points. Joe Ciano, a member of the Law School is our recent addition to the team. Joe is one of these modest, retiring, unassuming young men, but when he gets on the tennis court, well, his records speak for themselves and he is a real Lion. Previous to coming to Loyola, John amassed quite a reputation, having victories to his credit over Godshall and some of the other premier stars of Southern California. Now that he is at Loyola, it is quite safe to say that Loyola can boast of the outstanding intercollegiate star of all Southern California. And the prospects for the ne.xt few years take on a decidedly rosy hue. We have another Joe — our old standby — Joe Saunders. Joe is hitting the ball on the nose with the same precision and accuracy that has characterised his work on the courts at all times. He likes the game and is a real sportsman. He has demonstrated his work to Loyola during the past three years and can be counted on to give his best at all times. Watch out for the two Joes. Ciano and Saunders will be a combination hard to beat and should bring much glory to Alma Mater. Dcak Despars, though young in years is a veteran on the courts. His winning personality and slashing game won the berth of captain for him. He is well known to all Loyolans for he has an excellent record, and if he maintains his present form, should turn in a clean sheet at the end of the season. Deak is a very prom- ising young player; he has all the ideal requirements of a coming champion. Bud Brubaker is making his maiden appearance for Loyola this season. He is a hard-working young man, practices diligently and is a real asset to the squad. His perseverance and diligence is bound to bring him success and it won ' t be long before he is challenging the top-notchers seriously, for the higher positions on the squad. M m [ 143] THE L O V O L A « JoF. Saunders Captain DrAK Despars Bud Brlbaker The crying need at Loyola from a standpoint of tennis, consists of tennis courts. At present the school is handicapped in the development of the most promising ' : ' : HnHll material owing to the fact that we have no tennis courts on the campus. According to the present plans as announced hy our good friends. Reverend Fathers Gilbert and Walsh, this condition is to be remedied next season, by the construction of two -im ' ¥i!i r 144 1 THE L O Y O L modern courts and the squad feels that it can quite confidently predict that it will bring home the bacon in appreciation for the erection of a ' home court. HANDBALL Loyola, having the best handball courts in the city, is the constant scene of hand- ball activity. From the freshmen to the senior class aspirants come forth daily to vie with rival classmen and to win their laurels on the cement floor. A day never passes but what the sun shines down on crowded courts, on healthy, glistening, perspiring faces, striving and straining with all their might to down their stubborn opponents. That is real work, honest toil, and those mute walls deserve a vote of thanks for all the sport they afford. Nor do they offer merely the opportunity of taking a little physical exercise. One would think that the handball courts are the battle grounds for forensic ora- ors and debaters de luxe. More words of wisdom have fallen on those concrete walls than you can shake a stick at. Bright cracks have split the air with resound- ing emphasis. Gruff basses and higher altos have filled the ozone with discordant declamations while the hearty ring of laughter reverberated along the alleys. Indeed, the courts have truly spelled the doom of gloom. When, therefore, it was announced that a handball tournament would be held in the college department, a great deal of enthusiasm was manifested. Old time handball sharks returned to the sport of their high school days. In a short while those that survived the struggle minus sore arms and legs entered the tournament as contenders for championship. Eliminations were held in each class and semi-play- ofi s between Senior and Junior, Sophomore and Freshman. THE FINAL MATCHES In the Junior-Senior play-off, Nicholson-Brown triumphed over Burke-Girard, two games to three. In the first game the Seniors won by a score of 21-12. How- [ 145] THE L O V O L A ever, the Junior class representatives came hack and won the next two games, 21 -IS, and 2M9. In the matches in the other division, the Sophomore combination of Currin and Tunney fought through the opposition by virtue of two victories. The first was against Bernard and West, and the second against Sherwood and Haddock. The score of both games was 21-14. The ne.xt number on the program was the final encounter to determine the championship. The Junior pair, Nicholson and Brown went up against the Sopho- more duo, Tunney and Curnn. This contest was put on before a large crowd of in- terested spectators, and the different factions were there en masse to support their fav- orites by means of vocal aid. Excitement rose to remarkable heights and only the in- terest in the game prevented further contests, vocal and otherwise, from being decided along the sidelines. In the first game, the Junior pair led until they had run up a score of 18-9. Then their opponents started to demonstrate their ability, with the result that Tunney and Currin won, 21-18. In the second game the decision was reversed due to some flashy playing both on the part of Nicholson and Brown, his partner. The Junior entry was leading 16-6, when Tunney and Curnn staged a come-back and were within one point of the game but Nicholson laid two killers and then went in and won the contest on his serve. The deciding game was rather one-sided, more so than one would ex- pect after the others. Tunney and Currin were successful in vanquishing their opponents by a count of 21-7, and were then and there proclaimed handball cham- pions of Loyola College. This is the first year that Loyola has ever had a College Tournament to decide the supremacy of its handball stars. In future years it is hoped that the interest in handball will be started at the beginning of the year so that teams from Loyola may represent it in the various club and association tournaments in the city and in the Southland. Considering the facilities which Loyola has to sponsor competition in the higher handball circles the formation of a representative team should not be difficult.

Gilbert, S. J., Moderator President, Herbert C. Meade Vice Prcs., Harold J. Hurley Secretary, Robert J. Matrdlcn Treasurer, Bernard ]. Donahue For many years the High School department of Loyola College has been steadily advancing, both in the number of its students and in the variety and extent of its activities. Beginning as a small school with a few students, Loyola High School to day has an attendance of close to five hundred. Its rapid advancement in every field, scholastic as well as athletic led to its separation from the College department this fall. The news that they were to hold for themselves the reins of government was, indeed, welcome to the Prep Department. It was definite proof of the progress which they have made in the past few years. So with the opening of school last September, the announcement was made that the time had come when Loyola High School Student Body Council was to become a reality. The initial step in the formation of a good student government was the election of an able and efficient Council to guide the destinies and administer the affairs of the Prep department. Nominations for officers were made and, after vigorous cam- paigns on the part of the various candidates, the election took place. The students chose as their leader Herbert C. Meade. His fine record in every branch, scholastic, athletic and debating showed his fitness for the office of president, and the executive abiHty which he manifested in the discharge of his duties has since proven the wisdom of the selection. Harold J. Hurley was elected Vice Presi- dent, and by. his advice the Council has materially benefited. Elected to fill the important office of Secretary, Robert J. Magdlcn has discharged the functions of his office in a highly commendable manner. He deserves special credit for the work he has done in drawing up our constitution. As the Council was to have the hand- ling of its own funds the selection of a treasurer was one that deserved careful con- sideration. Bernard J. Donahue was chosen, and he has proved his capability by a careful attention to all business matters.

A brief recital of a few of the problems with which the Council had to cope is not at all out of place. The first step m the work was the formation and ratifica- tion of a constitution. After a great deal of labor and sacrifice this task was com- pleted to the satisfaction of all concerned. The attention of the Council was next directed to creating loyal support on the part of High School students for the College and Prep Varsities. This was suc- cessful. The Council also lent its whole-hearted cooperation to the celebration held in preparation for the La Verne game. The pep and enthusiasm displayed reflects credit upon the way in which the class presidents enlisted the aid of their consti- tuents. A committee was appointed to interview the Editor of the Loyolan to request more space for Prep matter. Just how well they succeeded may be seen by refer- ence to subsequent copies of that publication. Another step in the securing of pub- licity for the High School was the appointment of Harland Gass as a reporter of items of interest to the daily press. The Council, which consists of its four officers, the president of each class and the High School Editor is a most representative body. This year, being the first in student government, was naturally a severe test of its ability. Yet it suc- ceeded, and, strengthened by one year ' s experience, we are certain that it will grow in power just as the High School advances upward along the path of greater pos- sibilities, greater fame and success. f l ' ' ! ] THE L O Y O L A FATHER RUPPERT DEBATING SOCIETY Gerald F.

Lauck - Victor Moreno Debating, which has always been numbered among Loyola ' s foremost scholastic activities, has made singular and remarkable progress during the last few years among the different societies of the High School. The interest evidenced by the students as regards this branch of public speaking has been very encouraging. Many have availed themselves of the wonderful opportunities provided here for the mastery of this art, and, as a result, the High School possesses a number of fine speakers who are both a credit and an honor to the institution. Those who stand first among the .students of the High School in forensic ar- gumentation, logic and eloquence are the members of the Father Ruppert Debatmg Society. This Society which till the present year has been titled ' The Senior High School Debating Society, in its very first meeting proposed and de- termined upon the present name The Father Ruppert Debating Society. The new name met with instant approval giving as it did a distinctive tone to the pur- pose and ideals of the Society. It proposed to the members as an exemplar a man noted no less for his oratorical power than for his executive abilities and it put before them a definite norm according to which they should mould their careers. These speakers are true followers of their prototype and time and again upon their shoulders has devolved the difficult task of upholding the honor and reputation of Loyola, and they have not been found wanting. In doing this, they have estab- lished traditions which shall ever serve as the model and inspiration of all future societies of a like nature. In their many public appearances the Father Ruppert De- bating Society has gained a reputation throughout the city that marks it as a tried and tested group of debaters. It seems fitting that in this book, devoted to a review of the events of the year, we should pause long enough to enumerate a few of the more important activities of this extremely energetic Society. All the public debates of the year led up to the final event, the one looked forward to by many, within and without the Society, and this was the Gold Medal debate. Tryouts for this were held in the second week of April. The initial public debate of the year was held March 1 1 , under the auspices of the Stephen M. White Council of the Knights of Columbus. The scene of this [152] THE L O Y O L A Ryan, Dillon, Schmidt, Cowley, del Valle, Ford, Lawler, McGrath, Moreno, Lauck. Macdonald, Rottner, Darrow, Shewell, Montgomery, Daley, Kilp, Burke, Phoebus.

The two teams were entirely composed of members from the Father Ruppert Debating Society. They opposed each other as to the entrance of this nation into the World Court. The speakers on this occasion were Herbert Meade and Dean Cowley for the affirmative, and Harold Hurley and Harland Gass for the negative. After an evening filled with a thorough discussion of the subject the negative were successful in obtaining the decision of the judges. The debate was extremely gratifying to all and set a high standard. • On the very same evening, March 1 1 , there was another public appearance of the Society before members of Los Angeles Council, 621, of the Knights of Colum- bus. The subject of the very heated discussion which took place was whether or not the government of the United States should take over the ownership and oper- ation of the coal mines. Supporting the affirmative were George Montgomery and Bernard del Valle, and opposing them on the negative were Victor Moreno and Harold Ryan. After all the arguments had been brought forth the judges awarded the debate to the negative. Another added interest of the meetings were the frequent intra-society debates On several occasions the members of the Father Ruppert Society clashed with mem- bers of the Junior Societies. These meetings were always full of life throughout, and were welcomed by the members. Some of the many questions discussed during the year were: Religion in the Public Schools; A Separate Air Department: The World Court: the Anti-Evolution Law: Public Ownership of Telephones: Governmental Control of the Coal Mines; the Central Station at the Plaza and numerous other topics which proved timely sub- jects for debates. A novel feature was the try-outs for the public debate. In these, every member who wished, was allowed a four minute argumentative speech on any topic whatsoever. The variety and scope of subjects brought forward, furnished an interesting evening for all. And now .mother page has been written for the history of forensics and de- bating at Loyola High School. Before writing finis to these pages, the members who are leaving, take this opportunity to express their gratitude to Loyola, to the Father Ruppert Debating Society and to the Moderator for all that has been done for them. They regretfully take leave of the Society, but they leave well versed in the art of public speaking; they leave in possession of a gift which is daily becoming more indispensable to those who would be leaders in the world. To the Society which fosters the advancement of this work, and to the School which places such a Society at the disposal of its students, every member makes grateful acknowledgement of the aid given him in preparing for the battle of life. This is the true aim of the Father Ruppert Debating Society. It is the firm conviction of all that it will long continue in the works which it has undertaken May its fame grow with that of Loyola, and may it become a pride and a boast to those who claim the distinction of being the pioneers.

Philipps Corr. Secretary - Karl E. Von Der Ahe fames B. O ' Neil For the former Junior High School Debating Society, Division A , the name of Vincent B. Vaughan was substituted. The fact that Mr. Vaughan, deceased but a year ago, was an untiring and relentless supporter of all debating activities at Loyola will pass down through the pages of Alma Mater ' s history. Whenever any Loyola debating society felt that it needed the service of an official, Mr. Vaughan was never known to answer in the negative to their requests. As a small token of respect and thanks it was deemed fitting to name this Society after him to serve as an inspiration to all its members. In the early part of the year the difficult task of initiating the young oratorical aspirants was realized and to facilitate matters all were given an occasion to test their ability as speakers. After this the initial debates of the year were begun. At first, few of these had the appearance of a real forensic contest, due to the unfamiliar knowledge of the ordinary parliamentary procedure and the difficulty experienced in answering proposed objections. However, in due time and with constant effort the various op ' posing circumstances began to disappear. Before the Christmas holidays this Society won a debate from their more experi- cned opponents, the Joseph Scott Society and in a return debate, during the second semester, we lost. However, both the affirmative and negative speakers of the Society felt their labors more than compensated for when a public debate was held for the Sisters and pupils of St. Matthias ' Parochial School. This marks the first event in the history of Alma Mater that Freshmen High School have debated outside the walls of the institution. Phillips. Litschi. O ' Briln, Houser. Frusher.

Edward Thompson Thomas J. McLaughlin Charles J. Vickers ' ' Victor V. Valla George W. Schmidt Wilfred L. Von Der Ahe Robert R, Dolmage The Joseph Scott Debating Society, formerly Junior Division B, has now passed through a year of quiet but steady development in the forensic art. Outside of two inter-society debates with the Vincent B. Vaughan Debating Society, it has confined its activities to its own members, who, though few in number, lack not the sterling qualities of a Demosthenes, a Cicero or a Webster. This is confirmed by the fact that in the first encounter with the Vincent B. Vaughan Society, although we lost the debate by a two to one decision of the judges, nevertheless George Esker, a member of the Joseph Scott Society was acclaimed the best speaker, while in the second inter-society debate, we won the debate and one of our members, William Schmidt, was awarded the honors of the best speaker. At the end of the Scholastic year, our activities were centered upon two main events. The first was our annual picnic which took place shortly after the Easter vaca- tions, while the second event was the annual Gold Medal Debate held between the Joseph Scott, the Vincent B. Vaughan, and F. Ruppert Debating Societies. The picnic was a success. The members enjoyed themselves and this gathering contributed a great deal to strengthen the good bonds of brotherhood that already ex- isted among the members. This picnic will still linger pleasantly within our memory for many years to come. With regard to the Gold Medal Debate, suffice it to say that our best and ablest debaters prepared themselves for the final tryouts whence the three best speakers were chosen to meet our worthy opponents of the Joseph Scott Debating Society. The ques- tion was, Resolved: That the United States should establish a Protectorate in Mexico, which is an unique and up-to-date question, and one most vital to American interests, especially if we consider the recent happenings and religious persecution to Catholics and Protestants alike in our sister Republic. To conclude, the Joseph Scott Debating Society thanks the out-going members for their splendid cooperation in all the various activities and congratulates them for the remarkable display of forensic art, which was featured throughout the year. mM { ' .

PREFECTS Edward Dillon Harold Ryan CONSULTORS ShewcU, Deasy, Rogan, Ernst. Schmidt, Dietrich, Tarabino, Coulette SECRETARIES Rottner, Schneider, Ford, Sturdivant, Stauble, Von Der Ahe, Lowery The Senior Sodality, consisting of members selected from the classes of Fourth High, Third High and Second High C , is the supreme Honor Society of the High School. Formed with the primary purpose of honoring the Blessed Virgin, and of endeavoring to imitate those virtues especially dear to her Immaculate Heart, it is a source of many and great blessings to the School at large and the Sodalists in particular. In order to gain admittance to the Sodality, the students have to maintain a high standard of conduct and application, so as to in,sure their sincerity and devotion to Our Blessed Mother. This sincerity and devotion has not been manifested in the Sodalities of former years as they were not organized on this selective basis. It is the custom of the Sodality to meet in the Chapel every other week. These meetings consist in a short prayer, a few words by the Moderator relative to the Blessed Mother and the recitation of the Litany. On all feast days of the Mother of Christ the Sodalists assemble in the College Chapel to hear Mass and receive Holy Com- munion. In addition to this the members receive Holy Communion once every month on the day appointed. The Sodality has not only proven beneficial to the members, but also to the classes from whence they are taken. A student may at any time give his name to an officer of the Sodality, as a candidate for membership, and if, on consideration of the Moder- ator and the student ' s class teacher, they deem his conduct and application marks satisfactory for entrance, he is allowed to join. On the other hand, if a member is not up to the set standard his name is withdrawn from the Sodality. This rule tends to bring up the conduct and application marks of the students to increase their devotion to Our Blessed Lady, and in doing proves a real benefit to all. Another new feature of the Senior Sodality is the Officers meeting. This is held on the day preceding the regular meeting. [159] THE L O Y O L A SODALITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN Divis J.

Hcmm The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a pious association known to the Catholic world and having under its enrollment the names of popes, kings, princes, lords and layman. The Junior Division instituted in the Loyola High School thus far has no actual members, but by the end of the month of May will receive under the banner of the Heavenly Queen and the patronage of St. Aloysius the names of those who have been accepted as candidates. The Sodality has for its primary object the due honor and love of Mary, the Mother of God. Its members try to imitate her virtues and endeavor to encourage their fellow Sodalists by word and example to follow Marys ways. Moreover it is a paramount obligation for Sodalists to receive Holy Communion once a month and in a body, and never to allow any great feast of the Blessed Virgin ' s to pass by without approaching the Eucharistic Table. During the meetings held every two weeks a short talk by the Moderator was given to the candidates. The first instructions were devoted to the conduct to be observed by all and a thorough explanation of rules and obligations relative to the Sodality. The officers have been selected from the various classes of the first and second years of High School. It is their chief duty to assist the Moderator in conducting the meetings in an orderly manner. To bring to the attention of all, the necessity of prayer and piety united with manly conduct is one of its aims. The observance of carrying on a list of good works has been established. [ 160] THE L O Y O MISSIONARY SOCIETY StHiiislaus J. Fitzgerald, S. J., MiiJcr.it( Bernard del Valle, President Francis Cunningham, Secretary Thomas Roberts, Vice-President Martin McGarry, Treasurer Carl Schmidt, Sergeant-at-Arms The Senior unit Mission Crusade of Loyola High School held its first meeting of the year on the third Tuesday in September. The object of this society is to keep a- flame the fire of mission eal in the hearts of the Loyola students, and to keep forward the great object of the Crusade, The Sacred Heart for the world and the world for the Sacred Heart. The unit has chosen the Alaskan and the North American Indian Missions as the object of its devotion. Surely the boys of Loyola see before them the unselfish examples of real cham- pions in the cause of Christ, in the sad story of the deaths of two former members of the College Faculty, who at last were able to bring the fulfilment of that longing which they cherished while within these very walls of our Alma Mater. Reverend Father Ruppert, quondam President of the College and Father Charles O ' Brien, a former pro- fessor, have consecrated themselves in a special way by a sacrifice of their lives. The Moderator of the Society has ever tried to keep before the minds of the students the examples of their predecessors, the true spirit of generosity. He also emphasized the necessity of prayer, for without prayer and sacrifice, the gifts are paltry and meaningless. The united student bodies of both College and High School merit every kind of congratulation and encouragement for their efforts expended in this ennobling work. They have surpassed all former records in this respect. Among the leaders in Mission- ary activities are One A and Three B . Due to their better class organization and longer experience. Three ' B surpassed their younger brothers. Nevertheless the com- bined efforts of all merits our heartfelt congratulation. a [ 161 ] L O Y O L A [ 162 } I THE L O Y O L A R. O. T. C. UNIT Major Charles L. Wyman. U. S. A., Ret. Professor of Military Science and Tactics Sergeant Elmer J. Menefee. U. S. A., D. E. M. L. Military Instructor Under the competent and highly efficient instruction of Major Wyman, who is ably assisted by Sergeant Menefee, the Unit of the Resen, ' e Officer ' s Training Corps has seen the culmination of years of work under these capable men. High sounding words mean little, if they are not backed up by sound actuality. Here, therefore, Loyola does not praise its commanders and men unduly, because, when the test came, they showed that they were worthy to march with the emblem of Loyola and the Stars and Strips at their head. On that day, when all the city was celebrating with patriotic addresses and stir- ring speeches, the signing of the treaty that brought to a close the last chapter of blood and horror in that bitter struggle for world supremacy, a huge gathering of people assembled in the famous Coliseum in Los Angeles. A long parade of uniformed figures marched around the oval before a cheering crowd, that was silent here and there in one little place where a heart yearned for Vaughan Olson [ 164] «=L L O Y O L %- i 0% KiiLLEY Johnston Moss Schmidt Roberts Justice Coi ' lette him who lay beneath the poppies in Flanders ' fields. But even these gave vent to ex- clamations of praise and bursts of cheering, as, coming out of the cavernous mouth of the tunnel, the Purple and Gold of Loyola, side by side with the Stars and Stripes appeared on the track. That long line of uniformed youths, marching past the reviewing stand, moved as one man, the whole battalion, a magnificent array of American youth; not looking for war, but thankful that the god Mars is not rampant; yet if the grim monster should raise its head, they are ready, and know how to meet the crisis. After the several speeches had been delivered, a picked squad from the three companies gave an exhibition drill and were presented with the loving cup by one of the veteran officers of the United States Army. This was the final incident in the long chain of events, that gave the unit a confidence in itself that it never had before. The boys know now that they are among the best in the realm of military activity. During the first few months of the new semester, the energies of the unit were directed to making the Federal Inspection one that would command the attention and admiration of the inspecting officer. RoGAN Burke Pianfetti Dillon H.artnagel Bliley [ 165] X- THE LOYOLA R. O. T. C. BATTALION As a prelude to the jjovernmcnt inspcetion, M.ijor Coherly, commanding the Officers Reserve Corps in this district, gave the unit an informal inspection. He was very well pleased with the work and commended the officers on the way in which they handled their respective commands. He also praised the men on the way they executed their work, their special exhibitions and the marching ability of the battalion. The Ninth Corps Area, Federal Inspection, was very satisfactory, Kith to Major Jordan, the commander of this area and to the personnel of the unit. All the move- ments and tactics were carried off with a snap that elicited favorable comment from the large crowd in the grandstand which had been invited to view the maneuvers. Thus in the annual test, in fact the real test, Loyola men showed that they were still and always hope to be among the highest ranking schools in the country. With something to look forward to, the men were eager and contented with their work, and though the great majority did not think of it, the tedious marching and exercises were making strong men of them morally and physically. r 166 ] THE Loyola RIFLE SQUAD M ScHENCK, Dietrich. Feeley. Oaks. Wacner. Kelley. Burke. Mullin. Shewell, Ford, Olson, Vaughn, Rogan, Lawlor, Coulette. The Rifle Team of this school year has surpassed the former teams of all previous years. In the Ninth Corps Area Match the team made a laudable score of ' 342 out nf a possible 6000, which qualified Loyola to compete for the championship of the United States. This is more appreciable when we know that it is the first time that a Loyola Team has reached this status. We have good reason to believe, however, that from now on Loyola will continue in thi.s high order. The five highest men of the Ninth Corps Area Match represented us in the National Hearst Trophy Match where Loyola again finished high. The Van Nuys High School Team felt the superiority of the Loyola Team in a shoulder to shoulder match. We tried to arrange matches with other city high schools and high . ' schools in the outlying districts, but were unsuc- cessful. The team had considerable practice with the pistol and 30 caliber Army Rifle, and the finest shots the school has ever possessed have been turned out. To give credit where we believe the credit is really due, we must thank Sergeant Menefee for his untiring energy, giving us the best instructions and coaching possible. On Saturdays the officers and some of the men, usually went to the Arcadia Balloon School, for pistol practice and instruction. This was varied by visits to Fort McArthur, where the Army Rifles are used on the excellent range located there, upon which the men distinguished themselves by their accurate shooting.

Braggadocio is perhaps unbecoming in a follower of the humble St. Ignatius But surely it can be condoned when there is a sufficient reason of its display and it cer- tainly cannot be denied that during the past year the efforts of the Band have not only been a source of gratification to the Faculty, Student Body, and general public but have borne fruit in a most satisfactory manner. The inspiration provided by the music during athletic contests, the enthusiasm imparted during the Student Assemblies, are not to be discounted. Essentially mili- tan ' in Its character, the Band has become indispensable to the ItKal unit of the Reser ' e Oihcers Training Corps. The renown which it can justly claim, both for itself and for its Alma Mater, was acquired, not in one grand coup de main but by dint of untiring energy, of cheerful sacrifice. And so it is that the Student Body prides itself upon this, the finest musical organization that has yet graced the campus of Loyola. To narrate in detail the num- erous occasions on which the band received public applause would take a rcat deal of space. The Armistice Day parade, and the final R. O. T.

They have remained united through all the trials of their High School course and now they are leaving with mingled feelings of regret, and gratitude for the benefits received. Looking back over the checkered pages of the history they have made at Loyola, they feel that the years spent within the v ' alls of their Alma Mater have been some of the happiest and most beneficial years of their lives. Review for a moment some of the activities in v hich they have participated as a class. In every field of scholastic endeavor they have a record of which they may boast, because they have lent themselves whole-heartedly to these pursuits. [ 170] THE L O Y O L A LlVERNOIS. J. L.

It IS an esteemed privilege that Fourth High B is able to proclaim its history. The year of 1922 saw the present Senior class entering with youthful joy the portals of Loyola High School. Class elections were held several days later, amid the great- est enthusiasm, resulting in the appointment of able executives. Since that time the class has always been characterised by its leaders who have been active in the progress of Loyola. ■We need no introduction to those who are familiar with athletics at Loyola during the past four years. The Prep squads, in all of the three major sports, football, baske t- ball, and baseball, have drawn much of their best material from this class. The rec- ords which they made while fighting for the school upon the athletic field are reflections of credit both upon those who have participated and upon their class. In the other sports which hold forth at Loyola, namely, tennis and indoor baseball, we have always stood well to the front. During the last few years members of our class have been actively connected with the Tennis Team, both as regards players and managers. We can candidly say that 4 B is unequalled in the High School in this respect. For the last two seasons the class has held the school championship of the indoor baseball league. Here as in the other branches of athletics, the talent and skill of. [ 175] i il £!. HOEFFER, A. J., Born Julii 21. 1!)U7 Hir- niosiUe. Mexico. Er,lir,,l Loiiola ' 22.

The fact that one of our members won the Loyalty Cup for athletics is sufficient proof of the spirit and ability of Senior Class B . Debating has always been considered the pride of Loyola, and when it came to displaying the talents of fiery and convincing speech, this class was preeminent With its eloquent orators it has been second to none at Loyola. These illustrious speakers have stood before a score of public audiences in this city, and manifested the wit and the logic that has won for them academic distinction as well as public esteem and admiration. Their very evident ability in handling the subjects, and the ease and lack of constraint with which they delivered their speeches, has been com- mended both by the several audiences and the members of the Bar and Bench before whom they appeared.

When It was announced this year that the High School was to have its own executive officers, the class nominated its ablest members for the positions and after a spirited and vigorous campaign, three of the officers were chosen from 4 B . Since their appointment, the power and influence of these officers in their clear judgment and unbiased opinions, has been extremely beneficial both to the Student Body Council in all matters brought before it, and to the individual students in the school. We must now bid adieu to the High School Department as others before us have done. May it be always said that Senior B ever did its best to further the in- terests of Loyola, and it is the earnest desire of each member that they will always retain what they have learned within these walls, and be forever loyal to their Alma Mater.

It was manifest in a concrete form throughout the history of the class, and has been incontro- vertibly a source of inspiration to the entire student body. In all the activities spon- sored by the school Fourth High C was always numbered among the foremost classes, and in several instances the members led all by their unceasing energy and untiring ability. As a whole the class took a special interest in debating, having many of its mem- bers in the High School Debating Societies. In the many appearances which these societies made in and about Los Angeles, both among themselves and with other schools, members of the class were especially prominent.

A notiiblc feature was the public exhihitum of forensic discussions carried on both in Latin and Spanish. These discussions were very successful and the knowledge dis- played both of language and subject was highly gratifying to all. In every department of academic effort some of the class always came to the front. Indeed, many of the happiest and most profitable hours we have spent within the walls of this institution have been those devoted to class discussions and minor debates, wherein the opinions of the members have been expressd upon fitting and timely topics. These meetings were further added to in the matter of ;est and spirit by the fact that they were always conducted according to strict parliamentary pro- cedure. [182] THE L O Y O L A ROGAN. R.

However all our achievements both in the class room and upon the rostrum, no matter how brilliant they might have been, are little in comparison with the record the class established for itself upon the athletic field. The entire class, with but one or two exceptions, was extremely active in regards to participation in the different sports which are fostered at Loyola. The past year saw Loyola High School ' s representative eleven composed almost entirely of students from this class, and they were leaders in their respective positions. Again the class never failed to maintain a high standard in supporting all the activi- ties of both High School and College. An unique achievement in the history of the class was the drive which they con- ducted for three years in order to obtain books for the School Library. In this they [ 183] THE L O Y O L A Joyce, C.

During the year when they were 2 ' C, their second year at Loyola, a large sum of money was obtained for this purpose as the result of a fine entertainment which was put on at the Knights of Columbus Auditor- ium. Continuing the task of their third year, a total of close to seven hundred vol- umes were obtained, in addition to numerous donations. As the class takes leave of its Alma Mater, it carries with it the most pleasant memories of the record of its members both in classroom, in the realm of forensics, and upon the athletic field. The days spent at Loyola will undoubtedly rcm.i piest, and best employed of their lives. ver before them .is the hap- [ 184] THE L O V O L A 4-C, Off The Campus [ 185 ] THE L O Y O L A THIRD HIGH A Welch, Lee.

During the term of 1925-26, the junior class, 3A of Loyola High School, enjoyed and participated in a most successful year. About forty students composed the class and each did his part to further the advancement of Loyola. The officers chosen were: President, Joseph G. Huesman: Vice-President, William B. Mullin; Secretary ' , Martin C. McGarry; Treasurer, Leland J. Bruttig. They served in a most diligent and loyal manner. It is due to their efforts that the class reached its high position in the activities of the school. Taken as a unit, the class has been behind every movement set on foot by the High School. It has led other classes in giving athletes to the sporting field. It has furnished debaters; tickets given to the members for games and school affairs have been sold most assiduously, and they have successfully accounted for themselves by giving their un- ceasing support, unlimited time and unselfish loyalty to the school. We feel confident that next year we will be able to step in and take our place as leaders in the High School, which has just this year been recognized as a separate unit from the College. It has been our motto to do all we can in the interests of Loyola. [186] L O Y O L A Stars in the 3 ' A ' Firmament [187] THE L O V O L A THIRD HIGH B Vogc ' .jaiig, Ciiu hlin, SchniU;. Newman.

With a universally acknowIcdi;e(J record of being the most efficient class in sup- portinsj all enterprises of the High School and College, we do not deem it necessary to enumerate the various instances in which we have upheld the activities of our school. However, to cite a few examples of spirited sportsmanship: Upon the gridiron, playing on the High School Varsity, we had a delegation of si.x husky football warriors; on the basketball court we also had six representatives; on the diamond we had seven members playing on the Prep and Junior nine, and from our ranks stepped forth the handball champion of the school. With Thomas A. Roberts, President; Wilfred C. Mead, Vice-President; Joseph C. Scherer, Secretary; and Bernard A. Tarabino, Treasurer, to guide the destinies of our members, we could not help but prosper during the year. One ot the outstanding features of the class was the ' Clemens ' Library, erected and supported by the students of 3 B, and affectionately dedicated to its worthy professor. Picnics have formed a large part of our activities. One day in January, we held our semi-annual picnic, which was at Loyola Beach, and was a great success. Another happy outing was ine of three day ' s duration at Lake Arrowhead. Thus we have enjoyed a successful year, and look forward to next vear and all that it will bring to the class of 27.

Debating claimed a goodly part of the class attention, and several of its members v, ' ere officers in the Vincent B. Vaughan Debating Society. As the season of spring appeared, the class was represented in the ninety-pound basket-ball team and on the baseball nines. On Washington ' s Birthday, at Loyola Beach, the first picnic of the year was held. Although the day was cloudy, a good number made their appearance, and had a very enjoyable time. A few weeks later, just after the annual retreat, another outing was held at the same place, this time many more of the boys being on hand. After a dip in the surf they chose sides and had a snappy game of football. In the afternoon the class went to the Redondo Plunge, where they engaged in a lively game of water-polo. A most enjoyable day in a most successful year. [190] i THE SECOND HIGH B J Siilhx.tr. I ' .ipr, li( ' oiiiini Millu ' . Wiughan, Fox, O ' Brien, Jolly, Morris, Hettig.

Mr. George Casey, A.B. Starting the year with Arthur R. Hemm, President; Thomas J. McLaughlin, Vice- President; Charles C. Roberts, Secretary; Frederick C. Dockweiler, Treasurer, a most capable set of class officers, 2B has shown its spirit and its loyalty by a faithful attend- ance at football, baseball, basketball games and other activities at Loyola. By selling tickets at the annual dance and debates and soliciting subscriptions for both the Loyola and the Loyolan, it has called forth much admiration for its sincerity and good-will in furthering the interests of the school. Two class picnics wer held, one at Costello ' s Ranch, and the other at Mount Lowe. They were both attended by a majority of the class and were thoroughly en- joyed by all. A portion of the class went to Mount Baldy and found enough snow to provide a day ' s entertainment. In every sport, the class of 2B had many representatives. On all the junior teams in football, basketball, and baseball, they showed a vim and vigor that elicited admira- tion. But sport was not the only field of school activity in which they played a promi- nent part since they were also well represented in the Debating Society. Truly a year spent in profitable building of mind and body. [191] T 1- 1 £j SECOND HIGH C Roche. Lamh. Kelley, Dihetta. CreiRhton. Powers, Vignault. OConnor. Frost. Kellncr. Heinen. Kelleher.

The class of 2C was composed practically of IC and ID of 1924-2 . It was generally thought that the joining of these two rooms would produce a spirit of dis- content; it was not so. During the class election which was a bitterly contested one, there was a joviality and lack of animosity that was pleasant to note. In a short time old divisions were forgotten and all worked together in perfect harmony. The officers chosen were: President, Edward Lowery: Vice-President, William Macy: Secretary, Thorpe J. Deakers: Treasurer, William B. Ceighton. Under these men, the class soon became an organization that was well thought of throughout the school. In .ithlctics as well as academic pursuits, this room had its representatives on every football, basketball, and baseball team in the high school. All the school ' s activities received its hearty cooperation, the debating societies, the Loyolan, the Loyola and all others which had called for the support of various classes — 2C has always done its share in aiding the student body officers to make this a bigger and better Loyola.

Cairns, Vice- President; Paul Donavan, Secretary; Louis J. Tomicich, Treasurer. These men, new to the school, and with much to learn concerning the ideals and activities of a large student body, were imbued with a spirit that argued well for the future of the class. When the indoor baseball league began among the classes of the school, lA ended rather far down the list, for, being new in the school, it was hard to get the boys to play with much team work. In a handball tournament staged between the members of the class, quite a few stars were unearthed, who might some day become champions of the school. Many promising orators have also come from our midst, some of whom are among the foremost members of the Vincent B. Vaughan Debating Society. These same will probably some day uphold Loyola ' s glory in the rostrum. Our first year has been everything that should have been expected. Now watch next year!

A.M. The class (it IB under the capable directum of its nfficers, President, Harvey J. Sines; Secretary, Carl E. Von Der Ahe; Treasurer, Herbert A. Houser, accomplished much in the past semesters. The boys have received numerous testimonials and have been congratulated for their efforts on several occasions. In the line of sports they have done much to gain the admiration of everyone. Almost every boy entered the field of competition in some sport, and if they did not receive their letters it was because old and tried veterans already occupied the positions to which they aspired, and was not due to any lack of enthusiasm. In the American Indoor Baseball League, the class finished near the top, and entertains great hopes of winning the pennant next year. There has been a keen rivalry between IB and her sister class IC. In several football games in which the two classes engaged, IB came out victorious in each con- test. We are well represented in the Missionary Society, the Debating Society and the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin. The interest shown in the Sodality was very notable.

Our report cards will bear ample testimony that the members of the class are perservering in their studies, a fact further attested by our numerous testimonials. Not only in studies do we excel, but in athletics as well. In these we have taken no small part. Nearly every boy has actively participated in some sport during the year, and the class has come to the front especially in handball. On some of the holidays, jolly, informal trips were taken, of which the best were undoubtedly those to San Juan Capistrano, Hot Springs, Switzer ' s Camp and Arroyo Seco.

That was the day, mourned by some, rejoiced in by others, and feared by all. Early one September morn a forlorn individual in knee-pants, entered with woeful mien, the door of a room bearing the standard ID. Little did he know what was in store for him within those walls He and other bxiys composing the class, elected as ofiicers, William D. Daley, President, Albert A. WeK r, Vice-President, Louis M French, Secretary, Vincent M. Downey, Treasurer. That was the first month. Let us glance at the change which has come over this class. A feeling of companionship was developed among the boys and the stern hand of discipline has moulded orators, athletes and scholars out of the raw material pre- sented at the first of the semester. All through the year these same boys have been laboring for Loyola. It is their first year within its portals, but there are many more years such as this in store for them and they will be ready to take the places now being left vacant by those who arc graduating. Throughout the year we have done all in nur power to further the interests of Loyola, taken a prominent part in sports and all other activities of the High School. We also lay claim to the unique accomplish- ment of holding the first musical picnic in the history of the school. [ 198 1 1 — — r -w: M ATHLETICS J THE L O V O L A PREP FOOTBALL Capt. Chuck GiRARD Loyola High School football entered on its second year last September. During the preceding season, our first in competition with bona fide prep school teams, an impressive record had been hung up by our High School Varsity. The difficult task of breaking the ice had been accomplished by the fir.st Prep team in ' 24, and it remained but to take an- other upward leap in Loyola High School ' s climb towards supremacy. It was a matter of doubt just what kind of a showing would be made, but the season ' s results proved that steadily and surely we are forging ahead in this line of athletic endeavor. The first definite step towards the formation of a strong team was made with the appointment of Coach Mart Mor- ony, about whom more is said elsewhere in this book. In passing, we might mention the fact that he employs the famous Notre Dame system which is now used at many colleges and universities throughout the country. Any- one who knows football will realize the advantage of such a type of coaching. Now that we have seen who the coach was, and what his system was, let us devote some space to the team itself. The schedule which had been lined up for the Lion Preps by Manager Ber- nie Kearney was quite ambitious, so much so that we are surprised that they per- formed as well as they did. When we glance back over the history made by the High School upon the gridiron during the past season, it is evident that we have arrived as far as prep football is concerned, and it is with sincerity that the entire student body joins in congratulating Coach Morony, Manager Kearney, and, most of all, Captain Girard and his team for the work performed in giving Loyola a representative Prep Eleven. THE REDONDO GAME As the curtain raiser, Coach Morony ' s blue-clad warriors met the Redondo LInion High School eleven. A sandy field bordering on the Pacific, with the scho ol building near by, was the arena on this occasion. The two teams formed quite a contrast when they lined up against each other the first time, the Lions being ex- tremely light while the Bay Leaguers were more than unusually heavy. Offensively the Preps were unable to accomplish a great deal, their aerial attack being rather ragged and ineffectual, and the opposing line impenetrable. On the defense, how- ever, the work of the Lions stood out as being almost extraordinary. Their work in checking the force of a delayed center buck, Redondo ' s factor in keeping the ball away from the Lion ' s goal. Due to the defensive work of both teams the game ended in a scoreless tie. THE BELMONT UPSET The following week the Preps made their initial appearance on the Loyola [ 200] A Gridiron, the occasion being a game with Belmont High School. The Preps showed the effect o( the hard contest against Redondo and were not up to their real form. The line did not even seem a ghost of that which had withstood the attack of he Redondo lads. Excellent interference for the ball carrier, who was nearly always Zis- kind, speedy Belmont half -hack, spelled Loyola ' s doom. Twice this same Ziskind cir ' cled end for a touchdown and the Preps left the field the recipients of a 12-0 defeat. THE HOMECOMING GAME Before the season ' s largest crowd, the Lions were arrayed against the strong San Diego Army and Navy team. The squad from the Border City packed a lot of punch, and they used it with disastrous effect, starting right out and scoring four touch ' downs in the first half. The varied offense which they displayed had the Loyolans bewildered and they offered a rather ineffectual resistance. In the second half the Preps settled down and checked the advance of the Academy Eleven, holding them to one touchdown. Our boys displayed some good offensive work and missed scor- ing by a matter of inches. Despite all their efforts they were beaten, ?2-0. THE U. S. C. TILT Coach Morony ' s proteges then took a three weeks lay-off after which they entered the fray against the U. S. C. Prep footballers. This time the rejuvenated Preps won their first victory of the season. This game was the most bitterly con- tested of any on our schedule. Time and again the Trojan Preps threatened the Loyola goal line but the stubborn defense of the Lions averted a score. Many times during the game the Preps were within scoring distance but were unsuccessful. Late [201 ] THE L O V O L A LOYOLA PREPS Coach Morony, Joyce, Rogan, Osborne, K essler, Wilson, Pomerov, Capt.

THE HARVARD BATTLE The Preps showed themselves to he complete masters of the situation when they defeated the Harvard Military Eleven. Although outweighed both on the line and in the hacktield the Lions pushed over a couple of touchdowns and kept the Harvard offense pretty well smothered. The Preps seemed to have hit their stride and were playing good football throughout the contest. THE SAINTS ' DEFEAT Li the closing game of the season Loyola ' s Irish met the gridders of St. Agnes High School. The redshirts met a severe reverse at the hands of our redoubtable Preps, The Lio ns goal was never in serious danger, while that of the Saints ' was continually in hot water. The Morony men relied chiefly on straight football and did not resort to their passes. They pushed the oval across the line three times. The line was never better and the St. Agnes backfieid spent the afternoon in battering their heads against a stone wall. It was a complete victory, 19-0, and it was a fitting cli- max to a successful season.

THE LIGHTWEIGHT SEASON Loyola High School placed a representative Lightweight eleven on the gridiron this year, and they went through the season with but one defeat. Old rivals who for years had had the Indian sign on Loyola football squads, went down in defeat before the ripping offense displayed by these rearing, tearing youngsters. They were an un- usually clever team and every one of their games was well worth seeing. Many future stars were unearthed during the season, and not a few should make grid history some day for their Alma Mater. The Lightweights played more games than any other team in the school, thanks to the efforts of their manager, Edward Lehn. Under the splendid coaching of Mr. Leahy, S. J. they were in first class shape throughout the season, always up to the mark and ready for work. THE MECHANICS MELEE Polytechnic sent her gridiron representatives over to meet our Lightweights in the opening game of the season, and they discovered to their grief that the Loyolans were right there and ready to win. After a hard fight, featured by some flashy work on the part of the Lion backfield men, the blueshirts left the field with the decision against them, 19-n. [ 203 ] _ s?= THE L O Y O L A JOHN MUIR GAME Displaying a rip-tearing, pile-driving offense and a stubborn and determined de- fense, the Loyola Lighties administered a severe beating to the John Muir footballers, 27-0. This game showed a good many of the great prospects on the team and gave promise of a successful season. The contest was far from being close, and the game was on ice during all four quarters. THE ROMANS ' ROUT Los Angeles High always had carried home the game with Loyola, but this year they went up against a team that was primed for revenge. Revenge was theirs and the oft-victorious Romans were sent home on the small end of the 19-0 score. This upset was a result of flashy teamwork on the part of the Lion Cubs. THE TOILERS TILT Another traditional enemy of Loyola on the gridiron is the Manual Arts High School. In past years the Loyola Lightweights have been unsuccessful against them. But this year the Lions were out to win, and the result read, 20-0 in favor of Loyola. One would be inclined to say that the Lighties had a rabbit ' s foot or something of that sort, but all they did was play football. THE VIRGIL RUNAWAY The Lightweights made the highest score of the season against the eleven from Virgil Intermediate. They started going at the first blast of the whistle and did not stop until the score was . S-0 {or the fighting Lions. The excellent defense displayed by the Lion forward v all killed the few chances that ' irgil had to score, and the Lion Cubs won easily. ! [204] THE L O ' O L A FLYWEIGHTS Loughborough.

Now we must sing the praises of the Loyola infants, the Flyweights, because it is they who will be the stars of our future Varsities, and they need plenty of encour- agement. They have been doing their bit for Loyola just the same as those who play on the larger teams. You ' ve often heard people say that when it comes to the real fight, the honest-to-goodness scrap, you have but to look at two teams of little fellows having a life and death battle with one another. Whoever uttered such words of wisdom knew what he was saying, because after watching the Flyweights play a game you will see that they are true. They fought every bit as hard out on the gridiron as if they were the Varsity carrying the Purple and Gold against a hated rival. After several weeks of hard coaching the Flyweights made their first appearance again.st the representatives of Foshay Junior High School. The final score was 2-0 in favor of the Lions. In a game against Virgil the Flyweights chalked up another vic- tory by the very same score. Both of these games were almost even, the determined resistence of the Flyweights being deciding factors in these victories. Meeting a team which had the advantage over them both in weight and exper- ience, the Flyweights lost to Oneonta Military Academy. The score of this contest was 1,1-6. The only other team which got the advantage over the Loyola Infants was a husky squad of miniature gridders which came from John Muir J. H. The season was ended with a 21-0 victory over Virgil in a return game. til ' ..k 0 «H [ 205 ] THE L O Y O L A PREP BASKETBALL SQUAD ?iC7:i,-2it c:2:ki I C Mgr Lehn. Them Gass. Nca Eddt . Bciyd, Fitzgerald. Coach Casey. Capt. Walsh. Kellcy. Rottner. One year ago, Loyola High School placed its first rcspresentative basketball team in active competition with the other High Schools of Los Angeles. Some doubt existed in the beginning as to whether or not this team would be able to hold its own in the class which it had entered. However, the first games entirely dispelled any misgivings in that respect. Just how well the ' Preps succeeded is known to every student. With the record and prestige of this team as a foundation, prospects for a successful season were bright this year. Two other factors which promised well for the ' Preps in the season of 26, were first, the fine Gym which was available; secondly, a very capable coach in the person of Mr. Casey. Considering these facts, and the splendid material at hand, it was no surprise that Loyola High School possessed a basketball team which easily equaled that of last year, and a tc.ini which deserves to be placed among the best teams of the Angel City. The opening contest was played against the Santa Monica High School Five, in the Loyola Pavilion. After a fast game, in which both teams displayed a stellar brand of basketball, the visitors retired victorious, 14-7. This game gave the Prep supporters some idea of what lay ahead — a successful season. The Preps gained their first victory over the Belvedere A. C, 19-16. As the score indicates this was a close contest, and both the winning and losing teams displayed plenty of fight. The Lion Cagers seemed to be getting their eyes, baskets being registered at pretty regular intervals. [206] I! H E L O Y A As a preliminary to the Varsity-San Diego State contest, the Preps took on the Aztec second stringers, and were defeated by a count of 12-8. This game was one of the best exhibitions which the Preps gave all season and it was only the good floor- work of the Aztecs that kept the Preps from a victory. The High School V.irsity next played host to the Glendale High Basketeers, and their hospitality was rewarded by another reverse, 1 vlO. A few days later, they took revenge by completely outclassing Franklin and winning by the large score of 19-4. In what was undoubtedly the fastest and hardest fought game of the season, the Preps emerged victorious over the San Jose Athletic Club Five. The victory was gained by the narrow margin of 12-11, Loyola clinching the victory in the last few minutes of play. Seeking revenge for a defeat handed them on the gridiron last fall the Preps went up against the San Diego Army and Navy Academy, and lost this most important tilt by the close score of 12-11. Harvard Military was Loyola ' s jinx team, winning twice from the Prep five. The next three games were victories for the Lions, Pacific Military, Belvedere, and the U. S. C. Preps, being defeated in the order named. A victory over St. Augustine ' s High School in San Diego was a fitting climax to the second season of High School Basketball at Loyola, and we have great hopes for the future Basketball teams of Loyola High School.

Burke I After a lapse of one year, during which Loyola High School was without a repre- sentative basketball team in the Lightweight division, the past season witnessed the return of the IJO ' s and the team this year was fully capable of living up to the name and traditions established by previous teams in this division. Although some- what handicapped by the scarcity of weight among the candidates, many potential Lightweights being on the Prep squad, a strong quintet was whipped together and made a very creditable showing. The entire schedule which was drawn up for the Lion Lighties was tough all the way through, the competition being the best that could be obtained. Every one of the teams played were in the front ranks of their respective leagues. The first contest was against the Lightweight five representing Santa Monica High School, and the de- cision went to the boys from the Bay City by a score of 21-11. The following week, meeting a City League team on a strange court, the Lightweights had better luck. In a hotly contested game the Lion Lighties wrested the spoils of victory from the Jeffer- son High Lightweights by the narrow margin of 7-6. The Varsity of Cathedral High School was the next to fall before the onslaught of the Loyolans. The game was played in the Loyola pavilion. The contest was featured throughout by good floorwork on the part of the Lightweights and the North Broadway aggregation suffered a defeat, 24-12. The third straight victory for the [ 208 ] H E L O V r Lightweights came when they defeated St. Jnhn ' s Mihiary Academy by the same score. The Lums did not have to exert themselves very much to win and had things their own way throughout the game. Then the Lightweights struck a slump just at the time when they were going up against the hardest teams that they were scheduled to meet. The first serious set- hack came when they lost to the Los Angeles High School Lightweights, who were the City Champions in that division. The following afternoon they lost again, this time to Franklin, also a strong City League contender. It was here that the lack ot weight was a deciding factor in determining the winner. The heavy schedule which had been undertaken resulted in the last four games being defeats. Central High was the jinx team for the Lightweights, and although the gold-shirted warriors took two cracks at them, they were unable to topple these opponents. Some Central lad with a bullet eye for the basket always spoiled the chances for the Lighties by sinking the casaba through the hoop with discouraging regularity, and the Lion Cubs lost both encounters. Inglewood Union High School proved too hard a nut for the Lightweights to crack and they succumbed before the attack of the boys who inhabit the southwestern suburb. The strange court had the Lightweights completely at sea and although it was a close fight, the green jerseyed youths were in the lead right up to the final whistle. The last game of the season was played away from home, to be exact, over one hund- red and fifty miles from home. The native heath of St. Augustine ' s High School, to wit. San Diego, acted in the role of host to the Lightweights during the week-end that they went down to play the 130 s of the above mentioned institution. St. Augustine ' s took revenge on the Lightweights for two decisive beatings given them by last year ' s no ' s, taking the game 16-10. However, the beauties and pleasures of the border metropolis aided in removing the sting of defeat. Thus ended the best Lightweight sea- son which Loyola High School has enjoyed in two years. The record is not a boast, neither is it a disgrace. There were very few games in which the Lion Lighties were not playing over their heads. They have done their best for Loyola High School and have planted the seed for future greatness at this institution along that branch of ath- letic endeavor. We can truthfully predict that in a very short time Loyola is destined to rise to the top of this division in basketball as well as football.

Starting out a season with a team composed entirely of green material many of the candidates having no previous experience, the Midgets finished their schedule with a good record, winning five games and losing an equal number. In the early part of the year it looked doubtful if they could be made into a winning team, but by mid-season the seemingly impossible had been accomplished and they blossomed forth as first class hoopsters. Looking upon their achievements during the 1926 season success is reflected from every angle and they are fully deserving of the gratitude of the school, as they have done their share in advancing its name farther along the path which leads to athletic fame. No doubt we are destined to hear more from the members of this year ' s Midgets when they take their places upon the Prep squad. The first game of the schedule was lost to Virgil, 13-5. Their next game was more successful, defeating Manual Arts by the close count of 8 to 7. The next two games were jolts to the old percentage column, Hollywood winning by a 2 1 to 4 score and Belmont following on its heels with a 16 to 6 victory. The Lion Babes came back by turning a string of four straight wins. Central Junior High, Central Playground, Cathedral High, and John Burroughs were the victims, being defeated in the order named. The final games found the Babes on the losing end ot the string. Cathedral ISO ' s and St. John ' s Varsity were their conquerors. I [210] H E NINETIES Durnerin. Escudero, F. Delgado, Mgr.

In the 90 pound division of the cage sport, Loyola High School can lay claim to having one of the best teams in the South. The foregoing statement is not in the least exaggerated. The Loyola Nineties held victories over almost every school in Los An- geles and its outlying suburbs. The reason for this par-excellence aggregation is the fact that this year ' s team was playing together for the third consecutive season. It seems rather unique that a group of players would remain so small in stature and so light in weight as to be able to play for that length of time on so diminutive a squad. The team had developed into a strong combination. Their work on the court was a pleasure to watch and the style of play exhibited would compare favorably with that of any college varsity. This season they lost but one game out of nine, and the team which claims the distinction of beating them is a championship team. The Nineties played against some tine teams, and their point total was 133 to their opponents 0. The first game was a 12-8 win over the L. A, Y. M. C. A. Then followed six victories, Manual Arts, Bel- mont, Cathedral, The Outlaws, Central J. H. S., Pacific M. A., all falling before the young Lions. After the Inglew(X)d upset, 10-4, the Nineties came back and ended their most successful season by defeating the basketeers from Cathedral High School. Due to the foresight of their coach, they will have a strong team ready for next year. [211] THE L O Y O L A PREP BASEBALL TEAM fel v Gibbons. M(.r. Lihn, DoNAiirt. KhLLtv, Theriot, Fitigerald. W ' alm Connolly. Hemm. Kissllr. Devaney. St. ck. Pomeroy. Gas, ;. Nealis On a chilly d.iy in March, King Baseball made his initial appearance i)t the season on the Loyola diamond. The clarion call had already gone out for candidates and from all corners of the campus came those who hoped to embla:on their names upon the pages of baseball ' s honor roll. The number of candidates on hand for the first practice resembled an invading horde more than anything else, but in the ensuing practice individual brilliance began to put in its appearance and it could he seen, by all, that there were some dandy ball players among the number. The following practices were filled with the attempts of the various candidates to place their case in a favorable light before the Coach, and the merry battle for position was on. Everybody was trying to distinguish himself either by a mighty swat, or some marvelous catch. There were some interesting scenes staged for the benefit of those who had nothing else to do except to look the boys over. After a week ' s strenuous practice the list of those who made the grade and were to be retained for the rest of the season was published and suits were issued. With the smaller squad. Father Gilbert, S. J., who handled the coaching, was able to get down to real work. Be- fore many more days had passed the Preps were ready to begin the season, and they guaranteed a successful one. The Preps looked good to everyone, and the games which they played this year have been right up to the mark, and every one has been against a tough opponent. And now for the seasiin. [ 212 1 H E L O V O LA A.- GARDENA HIUH The Preps made their 1926 premiere upon the home grounds at Loyola one af- ternuiin well along towards the beginning of April. This was a close contest for so ciirly III the season, and this was due mainly to the excellent hurling which was pro- vided by both the home-guards and the opposition. The pitchers had everything on the ball from a roundhouse curve that broke a foot down to a fadeaway, and the result was a day of mourning for the boys who usually shone with the war club. The Gardena sluggers were lucky enough to get their few wallops in an inning when the Lion infielders had difficulty getting their hands on the elusive horsehide pellet, and the three runs they marked up were enough to give them the game. THE VOLY GAME The second contest once more featured the Preps in the role of losers, but this time their opponents were the formidable nine that hailed from Polytechnic High School. The Mechanics proved to be a terriiic bunch of sluggers and what they did to the Prep pitchers is a sad tale. They lined the horsehide pellet to every corner of the lot, and rang up an eight run total. Excellent pitching for the Poly team kept Loyola from getting enough hits to win. THE FRANKLIN GAME The iirst game to be chalked down in the win column for the Lion Preps was a decisive victory over the Kiteflyers, better known as Franklin High School. The Preps had regained their balance by the time they came up against this opponent, and they demonstrated to the satisfaction of all that they were a baseball team beyond all doubt, past, present, or future. Good pitching, backed up by equally good hitting on the part of the Lions was the reason for the victory. THE LOS ANGELES GAME A repetition of the Polytechnic contest was staged when Los Angeles High School sent their team over to Loyola to take a perfectly good ball game and carry it home in their bat bag. The Pioneers were the better team throughout, but the Lions also made a good showing and put up one of the best exhibitions of the year. THE SECOND FRANKLIN FRACAS In a return game with the Franklin ball tossers, the Lions were not so successful. The Kiteflyers were a totally different team than the one which formerly succumbed to the Lions and they tied our redoubtable diamond warriors. Both teams played good ball, though the Loyola sluggers failed to live up to expectations. Pitching was very good for both Franklin and for the Preps. BELMONT GAME In a swatfest in which the Prep batters garnered a total of ten solid blows, the Lion High School Varsity overcame Belmont High School. The infield and outfield played faultless baseball throughout the contest and gave excellent support to some fine pitching on the part of one of our southpaw moundsmen. Belmont was unable to come anywhere near the Preps and the victory gave Loyola High her second win, and a percentage of .500. A chronicle of the season would be incomplete if we failed to say a few words about the athletes who carried the burden of pitching for the Preps. The hurlers this [213] THE L O Y O L A season were the best that the High School has ever boasted of and many of the victories were due to their efforts on the mound. Two of the chuckers were right-handed, and the other two were southpaws. Stack and Kessler baffled many a batter with a set ' viceable change of pace. Kelley and Dempsey, who did their flinging from the other side were the immediate cause of many a would-be slugger fanning the air for three consecutive times. Throughout the entire season the hu rlers did fine work for the Preps.

Anybody who has seen them play this year can testify to their ability. Under the able coaching of Mr. Robidoux, S. J., they presented to the observer a well balanced nine, and the skill which they displayed out on the dia- mond is a credit both to them, and to baseball which has ever been the standard of Loyola High School. In all of the games which they played this season they gave some fine exhibitions of the pastiming as it should be played, and presented a squad which was always up on its toes, and Rarin ' to go. The Juniors started out the season in a very promising manner by decisively de- feating the Franklin second team, 10-L Against the varied assortment of pitching talent which held forth upon the mound for the Juniors that afternoon, the Frank- lin team could do nothing. On the other hand the Junior Babe Ruths swatted the offerings of the opposing hurlers to the four corners of the field. This game was an omen of a good season. In a contest that was one of the best this season the Juniors locked horns with the Los Angeles High School second team. After seven innings replete with all the trimmings which go to a good ball game the shades of night terminated the con- flict with the score tied 1-L Against the ball tossers of Cathedral High School the Juniors grabbed an easy victory, 13-9. The rivalry between the two schools turned the game into quite a peppery contest. In the games that followed the Juniors played good ball and made a record which was a source of pride to the players, coach and man- ager. [215] H E L O Y O LA MIDGETS BASEBALL TEAM Lane.

Moreno. m ' The interest aroused by the ci)ming of the baseball .season was met with more en- thusiasm and a heartier response by those smaller Kiys who were eligible to the Mid- gets nine, than by any other m the school. The lartje turn-out, the hard work of all, and the success which has greeted their efforts, proved that baseball flourishes as well among the small as it does among the great. The little fellows did a lot for the school by getting out and working for the best interests of their team. The constant attendance at practice, which is an important thing for those who are in the early stages of development, was a marked characteristic of these youngsters. Under the g uidance of Mr. Leahy, S. J., their Coach assisted by Captain Higgins and Manager Grant they completed a highly successful schedule In the opening game they traveled over to St. John ' s Military Academy and re- venged themselves for the two defeats of last year by winning the contest by a decisive score of 16-6. For an early season game the Midget ' s put forth a nice game from all angles. They shone at the bat particularly, the high score being directly due to the skill of some of our youthful willow wMclders, In a game with the William Lane Club, the Midgets again carried away the vic- tory, this time by the score of 12-7, Once again the diminutive Lions took to the offerings of the opposing pitchers and lined out enough hits to give them their dozen runs. The substitutes had their big chance in a game with the Delgado Midgets whom they defeated in a practice game. [ 216 J THE L O Y O L A HANDBALL CHAMPIONSHIP All the students of Loyola High School are not able to participate in the three major sports, football, bas eball, and basketball, but there is one sport in which the entire student body takes part, namely, handball. Every one who ever entered the por- tals of Loyola has derived pleasure and benefit from this highly interesting and health- ful game. The fine handball courts which are the boast of Loyola, and for which she IS noted all over Southern California are an important factor in making the sport so popular. The denizens of the handball alleys are numerous in these parts, because as long as there is light to see the ball someone is playing. In the morning before school, at recess, and at noon, then again in the afternoon the courts are being used. It is quite natural, that with so many taking part in a sport, and spending so much time in perfecting themselves in its intricacies, that the school should develop some very good players. There are many whom we could mention as being potential champions. All grades of handball are played at Loyola, starting with First High and ending with Senior College. During the past year handball has continued to hold the high place which it has heretofore occupied. For the purpose of selecting the best players and in order to decide the discussion of proficiency, two different tournaments were held among the High School students. Early in December the double matches were begun, and although the number of con- testants was large, the entire schedule was run through in the record time of two weeks. Every game in these matches was interesting, and the more important attracted not a few spectators. There were many close and exciting games, and all in all, there was considerable handball played before the champions were finally decided. [217] THE L O Y O L A M The entries had been divided into two separate divisions, in order that the matches could be played with greater speed. The First Division was for those in First and Sec- ond High, while the Second Division was for those in Third and Fourth High. One might expect that the standard set in the First Division would not be as high as that of the Second, but there was very little if any difference. In the upper division there were twenty-four teams entered, making a total of forty-eight players; while in the lower division there were twenty-six teams entered making a total number of fifty-two. So altogether an even hundred entered in the greatest and most successsful handball double tournament which Loyola High has ever staged. From such a representative number it is easy to see that the championship teams were the cream of the handball players which exhibit their wares on the courts of this institution. Those who made their way to the most important elimination matches did so by dint of hard work and excellent play. In the first division, Heinen and Hill won the right to compete in the finals by defeating Roberts and Sullivan, while Frost and Peschke won from Maurry and O ' Brien. In the finals, the division championship went to Heinen and Hill. In the senior division, another close race was going on; Vogelsang and Dietrich met Oaks and Roberts with the result that the latter team was victorious, thereby winning a place in the finals against Lydon and Donahue, who had meanwhile defeated Tarabino and Herrick. These matches attracted a lot of at- tention and stirred up a great deal of interest among the followers of the various teams. In the finals Oaks and Roberts overcame their foes and won the championship of the second division. In the division play-off. Oaks and Roberts defeated their op- ponents, thereby becoming the school double ' s champions. The unparalleled success of the doubles tourney promised well for the single matches, and so this was set on foot just previous to the Christmas Holidays. En- tered in this were players representing ever ' class in the school, and every type and manner of handball artist. This entry list numbered sixty-six. After some fast and furious battles for the individual supremacy for the high school the semi-final saw all but four of the original contestants eliminated. These were Schenck, Powers, Die- trich and Vogelsang. Schenck was victorious over his opponent and he met Vogel- sang who had defeated Powers, in the finals. In a bitter battle Vogelsang carried off the laurels of victory.
