EVERGREEN QUARTERLY: Kaltenbach, Thaler (Editor), Barrett, F. Ayd, Mr. Clarke (Moderator), G. Ayd, Pugh, Hemelt, Crook, Helfrich. New Quarterly a Success This year saw the start of a new publication, The Evergreen Quarterly, a literary magazine. Under the guiding genius of Mr. Clarke, S.J., and edited by Tim Thaler, the first issue caused a great deal of comment. Replete with short stories, poems, essays, and sun- dry short sketches, it was adjudged a success, and received commen- dation from II. L. Mencken in a letter written to the Moderator, and was publicly acclaimed in the newspaper columns of Louis Azrael, and Folger McKinsey. As was the case with the Greyhound the staff showed great cooperation, and the copy was always handed in at least three days after the deadline for which the editor and moderator were truly grateful. The following three issues were equally well re- ceived, and the success of the venture is assured. 24

Greyhound Picks Up --For a While Under the capable editorship of Chuck Barrett, the Greyhound achieved new heights in bringing the news of Loyola to students, alumni and friends. With t lie creation of the new posts of News Editor and Associate Editors, the work was handled with much more dispatch, and the issue was usually ready for the printer by the un- heard-of early time, eleven o’clock of a Sunday evening. Compara- tively few items were left until the last minute; in fact, nearly every- thing was done by Friday except the Book Reviews, the Cold Spring Mnrmurings, the Political Column, the Feature Story, and six or seven news articles, and the Editorial was always in the hands of the printer by noon Tuesday. On Friday, everyone turned avidly to Jack Helfrich ' s column to find out the latest developments in his efforts to reform the Cafe but the crusade had little practical effect. 23

Yearbook a Struggle In the face of mounting difficulties, the Evergreen has become a fait accompli. Exigencies arising from the war; dearth of advertising, shortage of materials, apathy on the part of students who are natur- ally more interested in their draft classification than in literary en- deavor, composed a formidable combine militating against its ever making an appearance. The lion’s share of credit for the publication goes to the editor, Charles Barrett, whose perseverance and intensive personal effort provided the sorely needed directive and cohesive element to the staff. Our indefatigable assistant editors, J. V. Helfrich and Edward Kalten- bach are responsible for what would ordinarily be the work of five men. C. Zacharski, W. Burke, Crook, Jr., T. Thaler and G. Ayd make the complete roll of the writing staff. The doubly difficult position of Business Manager was handled by F. Ayd with the assistance of J. Corasaniti and our bustling Subscription Manager was E. Schmitt. THE EVERGREEN: Kaltenbach, F. Ayd, Barrett (Editor), Helfrich, Burke, Crook, McElroy, Schmitt, Zacharski, Thaler, Fitzpatrick. 25
