Hank, a veritable beauty, Hitting to and from classes, reminds one of a chap iuunortal- ized in a, drama written by a famous man called Shakespeare, quite a time ago. I guess the name of the show was Romeo and Juliet. Sitting at his desk, constantly perusing his Greek volumes and pondering over the un- surpassed philosophy of Xenophon, he un- doubtedly imagines himself to be a Grecian god in a modern setting.

Finnegan was watering l11s horse. Finnegan was superb in every de- tail. His regalia iitted hi111 to a T. He was good to look upo11. He was of the he man type, a11d the gray and gold broeaded coat was snug o11 his broad shoulders. His bronze features showed him to be a man ot the open, and he was Slllgllllll' in that his carriage and stride were unique. Finnegan edged his way over to a breach in the rock where he would station himself so as to get a good View olf the road. There was a confidence in his expressio11-selt-confidenee3 his calm, trustwortliy eyes with little i11de11ta- tions at each corner hinting at an other- wise unapparent sense ot humor and his graeetul posture all would have identified llllll as being' one ot' that note-worthy figliting' patrol, the Pennsylvaiiia State Mounted Police. lle had waited for per- haps te11 minutes before another horse- nian eantercd into sight down the road a bit. Finiieuiin rode up to 111eet him and immediately the 0fll0l',S hand went to his holster. and his pony onto its haunehes. l1ord! he said, after he had recognized the gray nnil'orm. You sure surprised me, Captain. Finnegan just laughed- You ean expert us at any time now in almost any eorner ol' the state, and pray tell me your businefs. Sure, l'm hunting panthers. You won 't find their watering holes here. No mine's differentg he drinks 'any- ' lv I Q . I thing with 10 per eent in it. Great snakes, he must be a fire-eater too.

He was a slouehy, swagferiiig farmer and his ae- tions. speech and manners proved him to be sueh. His eyes were keen and hu- morous and eaeh emitted a twinkle that is rare in this type ot' man. He paeked two automatics, one on each side, a car- tridge belt, and a knife. It was the way that he sat i11 the saddle that made him look reckless. Remunerated by the horse- man's appearance and answers, Finnegan trotted up next to the other's Sorrel. So you're after the Panther, eh? Sure Mike! I'm Bill VVatson, sheriif of L011dOll cou11ty over Potsville way. I'm after the Panther. He made a haul over at the Potsville Farmer 's State Bank yes- terday. Hooked a couple thousand in bonds and about 883,000 ill other negotia- ble securities. iVell, 1,111 here for the same, re- turned Finnegan, Major Brent told me to hook him dead or alive.

' ' XVa'al, here's how 'tis-don't know his right name so we'll call him 'Olier'- he's a Frenelimaii l believe. Fifteen years ago he married a mighty sweet girl-as so111e say-and they were happy on his nice little farm up i11 Manitoba. They done pretty well for a couple of years until along come an Easterner, who got pretty well caught up with this Panthe1 S wife. So tinally one day 'Olier' comes home from branding to find that his jane had gone and hiked away with this East- erner. VVa'al, sir, '0lier' tracked them up and down the map till he eornered 'em. For a long time nobody heard ot' the Pan- ther and it seemed he had dropped off the world. YVa'al. he sure didn 't: no sir, 9 . 19 'IIHE PIO NONITE 25 and when this Eastern gink moved down to his place in Connecticut, if the Pan- ther didn't pop. up an' come ridin' along. l most reckon he cornered this gink alone, cause he marched him into a gully an' gave l1i1n one of his guns, keeping the other for himself. They fought a duel? snapped Fin- nigan. Ya'a, an' that Eastern dude didn't deserve that consideration. Finnigan snuffed. It was plain to see that this was ettecting him. tt 'Olier' killed llilll. The other gink got it in the heart and the Panther was scraped in the rifrht arm above the elbow. D lteekon he's got a mark to show yet. And then? muttered Finnigan. You know the rest, answered lVat- son. 1-Ie's got all Connecticut, Pennsyl- vania and the whole works around here shot up and seared out. Even you guys ean't get him. You're eating out 0' his hand. He'll probably get the lead some day an' I'm hopin' he will. If I catch him 1 won 't take him back 'less he wants too. He's sure a menace to the whole dis- trict 'round Pennsy, ain't he? Didn't they ever get close to him? You bet! In the cemetery where he buried his mother. The place is alive with flowers. He crippled a couple of deputies there once. Next time he warned 'em. Said he'd bore every gosh-danged one of 'em if they didn 't stay away. He 's as bad as they make 'em, but he gives a guv a chance. He stole the money, making an big haul, that's why l'm at'ter,him, not fer anythin' personal. Twixt you land me. I'm danged sorry fer him ! As XVatson completed his story he felt the round end ot' a gun digging deeper ind deeper into his stomach. You move, and I'll fill you full of powder and lead, admonished the Penn- sylvania Mounted. You've shot your gab too ol'ten this time, Sir '0lier'. Watson turned white, white with anger. lle saw that Finnigan was in earnest and he raised his hands slowly. Finnigan removed the other's guns und backed away. You don't give me credit for having any brains at all. How d 'ye know the Panther's past like a book? The1p's a bulge in your saddle-bag-looks like a satchel--an' the kale in it at tl'xatll! I only heard the story from some other bozos out o' that territory and the saddle-bags--- Shut up! You've get convincing an' taking ways and the story ot yourself hit the core, but l could prove your identity by rolling up your right sleeve. I coulda shot ya' from the rock but I wanted to hear your story. l'm too familiar with your picture at lleadquarters that yaren't the 'Panther'. Ye're bright Olier' and ye're square! You coulda played safe and pulled a gun on me while we were ridin' along. Our bunch believes in sportsmanship. I'1l toss a coin. Heads up, I'll let you go, money and all. Tails up, you'1l come along with me. You ain't get the faintest chance of making a get- away tho' even if it does land heads up. There 's too many grey-coats in this coun- try now. Suddenly everything was silent. Fin- negan drew out a silver coin from the in- nermost regions of his person. He held it for a. minute gazing on it intently. Then he flipped it--where VVatson eouldn't see it. He glanced at the result a second. You win! Turn your nag around and get out. But-- Close your mouth and get out or I'll shoot. The other faltered, but seenting that Finnigan meant business, turned his horse and trotted away. Finnigan watched him till he was out ot' sight. Then he burst into long and merry laughter Before he started away he took another look at the glittering coin in the dust and it lay TATLS UP. He hopped to the saddle and as he rode away thought of the hole in his arm and the nunibngss of it, where one day. so long ago a bullet had lodged, placed there by the hand of an Easterner. Francis R.,'Soike 10 19 THE PIO NONITE 25 ANCIENT HISTORY. Very Rev. M. M. Gerend. The other day a truck halted in OUT yard, and the driver inquired for thc manager. I was informed and promptly went out to see what it was all about . That morning I met with a happy surprise. 1 V On the truck I saw a musical instru- ment, and was told that it was a glft of the Singenberger family-for St. John's Institute. lt was a small reed-organ that the Professor had used in his home for almost half-a-century-preparing lns mn- sic that made him famous. Quite a sou- venier? Well-it landed in the right place, not because we at St. Jolm's are particularly musical, but because we have already quite a collection of historical relics, on our premises, that are a source ot interest and pleasure for our friends when they come to see us. The sight of the old organ made me reminiscent. l thought of the old profes- sor and his former pupils, who took the Normal course, in preparation for teach- ing school, and directing church choirs, I thought, too, of the meetings of the Catholic '.llCHCll01',S Association-the first one of which was convened at my invita- tion in the early nineties, when l was ltee- tor of the Teaeher's Seminary. l These biennial gatherings, or reunions, were wonderful affairs. Teachers and or- ganists from all parts of the country, young and old, would attend-come to visit their Alma Mater, meet old friends, and listen to the discussion of papers on diverse topics pertaining to their profes- sion, they were not overwhelming social affairs, as is often the ease, but in the main educational, and a great help to many in their life-work, and they would invariably close with a pilgrimage to the little chapel in the woods. It was inspir- ing, at such times, to listen to the Virgin songs as rendered by these pedagogues and instructors in music-the open woods resounding with sweet echoes. Raise your voices, vales. and mountains, Flowery meadows. streams and fountains, Praise, oh praise the loveliest Maiden Ever the Creator made. Murmuring brooks, your tribute bring- mg, Little birds with joyful singing, Come with mirthful praises laden, To your queen be homage paid. Say, sweet Virgin, we implore Thee, Say what beauty God sheds o'er Thee, Praise and thanks to Him be given VVl1o in love created Thee. St. Alphonse Liguori. The writer remembers especially well one of the last conventions when Prof. John Rueping, even before graduating, had been asked by the committee to read a paper, which he did in a masterful man- ner. Somehow, in amore or less myster- ious way, one of the many loose leaves of his manuscript had taken wings-un- known to him. It goes without saying that this was most embarrassing when he noticed it. Cool as a chunk of ice he fum- bled through his papers for a while, but finally took up the thread of his discourse and finished. There can be no doubt he was well prepared for the occasion. Prof. John rose high in the estimation of all present that day, and received ap- plause-sueh as no one ever had received before him. He was the hero of the day. TIDINGS OF SPRING. The birds sing carols, blithe and gay Like minstrels lays of old. The sparkling sun at the break of day Shines through on an earth of gold. What is that spell of beauty rare, That wondrous spectacle That comes but once in every year? 'Tis nature's oracle. The Spring, Ah! what a wondrous thought When moments of despair arise, Sad moments and with terror frought, When world and all in sorrow lies, The budding flowers and the trees, Dame Nature 's hoarded treasure Breaks ope, so all the world may see And conquer grief by pleasure, When wintry blasts blow loud no more And coldness disappears, Fair Spring arrives and in its store Has smiles instead of tears.

So I rested too, and sat me down, His secrets to unfold. And I said to him, t'My little friend, U Your fortune to me be told.

So strive in earnest to do your best Before you say Amen --Francis R. Soike THOUGHTS ON EDUCATION. 1. What should be the attitude of a Catholic boy attending a Catholic Board- ing School towards the school he is- at tending? The attitude of a Catholic boy toward the Catholic Boarding' School he is attending should be such that he considers the Board- ing School with its authorities as one in whom he can place his trust and confidence to guide and direct him in his journey through education just as parents assisted by teachers guided him in his grade school education. ln training for character there is perhaps no better influence than the home infiuence but when the culture of the home is perhaps no greater than the culture acquired by the grades, Boarding Iligh Schools become a necessity in order that the subjects dis- cussed in class, may be discussed further with teachers and associates so that a real benefit may be derived from the education of the class room. It is the association that one finds in a Boarding High School, both with teachers and students that gives the student a chance to discuss fully and to imbibe the teachings of the classroom. Then, too, thc chance of educczting' the sex- es separately, which means again a better chance of advancing mentally instead of being filled with the gayety of the other sex at an age where giddiness shows it- self most and perhaps also awkwardness among the boys which oftentimes makes the boys feel interior in High School age to the girls. There is a. tendency among boys to feel that a Boarding High School means no more to them than to be sent to an Indus- trial or Reform School or to call it-Pa- rental School. Far be it from such an idea in a Catholic boy. One of the great- est helps in developing character, true discipline, true manly virtue, is a Cath- 12 19 THE PIO NONI'1'E 25 olic Boarding School in those years when training for character means most to a young man. 2. VVhat attitude should the parents adopt toward the school which their boy is attending? In these days when practically all re- sponsibility ot education is shifted by parents upon the school and upon the teachers, the attitude of parents toward the school should be to assist the school and its teachers as much as possible in or- der that the character of the child may be shaped properly. Oftentimes failures re- sult in Boarding School education because of lack of interest. Cooperation between the home and the ,school is essential. ln the mathematics ot education the follow- ing equation is standard: School plus Home -- Good results School minus Home - No results Oftentimes children are brought to Boarding Schools by parents because they cannot accomplish anything with the child and yet they present the child to the authorities with glowing words of praise for the character and type ot child. But how soon after is a different type in evi- dence? It persons wish to have authori- ties train successfully it is their duty to lay open the book of life of their child so that corrective measures can be applied in time-before serious things will happen. How often has not a Boarding School dis- ciplinarian found it hardest to correct de- fects just because those defects of char- acter were sheltered by parents in pres- ence of the boy. And yet are not these the first to blame the Catholic Boarding School for the defects of character in their child? Sincere and honest cooper- ation between the parent and the School is a necessity. 3. How should an Alumnus of a Cath- olic school regard his Alma Mater? Most of you have attended Commence- ment Exercises at various schools where you heard the Valedictorian in splendid rhetorical form deliver an address of fare- well to the Alma Mater, relating the won- derful things she has doncbuinoving every one to tears. l have heard many sucn and 1 have often said- lf they will only carry it out -But these solemn pledges are so often forgotten and many an insti- tution called Alina Mater by so many must feel it has an enormous number of wayward sons who have lost all interest in the Mater that reared them. Loyal sons of any institution will look upon their school as the one that has given them all that was needed for success in life. They will realize that, if their Alma Mater was the instrument of their suc- cess in life, they owe her a great deal ot the substance they have received through their success. They will feel that just as much as they owe their Mother a means of support i11 her old age because she gave her all as long as she could, so to that Alma Mater Alumni owe their allegiance which shows itself in the financial and moral support they give. 4. Is a Catholic High School as neces- sary as, or more necessary than a Catholic Parochial School? A Catholic High School is in these days just as necessary as a Catholic g1'ade school. W'hen the majority of children are compelled by law to attend school until the completion of the 17th year, either part time or fgll time, and when the years between 12 and 17 are considered the best years for the development of character, it certainly seems unfair to the child who has enjoyed a Catholic grade school edu- cation to be deprived of that guidance of our Holy Mother Church just in those years when the seed planted begins to de- velop. Are we not here reminded of the Parable of the Sower and the Seed, where some seed fell by the wayside and some among the rocks? As true Catholics we certainly do feel that all 'the sacrifices made for Catholic grade school education are in vain unless we are able to furnish to the product ot' our Catholic grade school a chance ot' further education-urn der the guidance of our Faith. lf! 19 THE ITE 25- A HORRIBLE PHANTOM. lt was a hot and sultry summer night, unrelieved by any. coqling wvinds. ln lact, except for an occasional breeze which would lightly rustle the leaves in the sur- rounding tree-tops and make their scarcely audible sounds tall on the ear as a partial relief from the depression and me- loncholy which the monotony of the sum- mer night produced, the air was prac- tically motionless. Quietude and darkness reigned supreme. The moon was ob- scured, and the only light there was, came faintly from the distant twinkling stars. lt was 011 this same night at about 11 P. M. that I was seated in a large and comfortable armchair at home. There were no other houses or buildings in inmiediate proximity to this one. It stood quite se- cluded, out in this country place. I was the only one in the Whole house. There were no other occupants that night. I sat there alone in the armchair reading a ta- vorite, adventurous novel. The room was somewhat dark, for I read only by a lamp on the table. I had thus occupied myself, principally because the oppression of the night forbade any slcepg and that if be- coming engrossed in my reading I might soon be oblivious of the uncomfortable- ness which the night aftorded. As a further aid I had the window opposite of which I sat opened widely so that I might obtain t'ull benetit of any passing breeze. IVhen the body is gweary, however, it is not al- ways readily soothed by some mental di- version, and so my book soon became very dull reading tor me: whereupon, I laid the book upon the table and, after having lowered the light ot' the lamp, reclined in my chair. I peered from my chair through the window and out into the night. But what was it that at a far-ott distance met my gaze, and somehow instinctively made me shudder? I knew not. But I did see that whatever it was, it came slowly elos- er and followed a path directly towards the open window. I Hxcd my gaze in- tently on the object. for it was something different than I had ever before actually seen. The peculiar thing about it was that it seemed to float very lightlv and without apparent trouble through the air. My wonderings and doubts very soon changed to indescribable tears, for the obiect had now come quite close and I was able to discern plainly in the darkness that it was no more nor less than the awe- inspiring ligure of a ghost. These fears were soon mixed with a loathing for all apiritual and supernatural things,.tor the ghastly apparition was steadily coming closer and closer and directly toward the open window. Having reached the win- dow and without any hesitancy it actually hovered in it and then came into the room. t'My God! I shrieked despairingly. But the white figure turned his head down and fixed his dark sharp eyes on me, so that I felt I was being pierced through and through. He then raised his hand very slowly up to his mouth, which gesture made me so silent that I almost choked and caused me to l'eel that I would never again care to utter a sound during the re- mainder otf my earthly existence. The ghost remained 11Ot long beffore me. Hav- ing completed this last gesture, he began very slowly and silently to go around the room. Ile did net touch the tloox, but, in a manner resei-:bling lloating. passed mid- way between the floor and ceiling, always keeping elose to the walls. IVhen he had completed one-halt' the circuit of' the 1'00Il1. where on the wall hung the picture of my uncle, he stopped. IIe then stepped back slightly, and raising his arm, pointed at the picture very mysteriously, and for some time. Passing on again. he com- pleted his circuit of' the room. Returning to the window, he hovered there, and then vanished into the darkness. Anyone who has suffered some pro- longed and intense pain, either physical or mental, 05111 readily understand how I felt after his departure. I could now t'eel the sweat issuing freely from almost every part of my body. The incident had also made me considerably weak and sick. The figure which thus entered the room had been all white except for the penetrating and extremely dark eyes ot' the head. and the long and sinewy hands with their pointed fingers, which extended from the arnis. Otherwise absolutely everything that could be seen was a flimsy, white- robed figure about 4 feet in height. The first thought which came into mv mind was: IVliy had the ghost pointed at the picturetn, and Did my uncle, perhaps, suddenly meet a cruel fate? Numerous and various queries thus caineanxiously to my weakened mind, and I spent some 14 19 THE PIO NONI'1'E 25 time in trying to answer them. The large clock in the corner of the room gave the last strike of 12. The sound was just faintly dying on my ears, when sud- denly I was forced to realize that there was coming through that same win- dow once more that same death-like figure that had so appalled me just a few min- utes ago. If I said before that the pre- vious visit of the ghost made me sick and weary, I do not exaggerate when I say that now the very blood in my veins seemed to stop in its course. The figure came into the room so slowly this time that it only made me feel all the more certain that I would now surely be doomed. This second visit, however, was too much, it was beyond all human en- durance and demanded immediate and in- telligent action. Many thoughts instantly flashed through my mind, one after an- other, like electric sparks. Finally, mus- tering all the energy left in me, I darted from my chair. But a slight glance back- ward was sutlicient to inform me that this only served to increase the speed of the ghost. The whole house was in darkness, for I had not thought to make any light after the ghost's first departure. The only light there was, issued faintly from the lamp 'on the table. Unprepared and un- armed I had to face this terrible demon, who was now only a few yards away from me. I turned and faced him squarely. He then came directly and determinedly toward me, and I realized that I was go- ing to be pursued by one from whom es- cape seemed impossible. I again stepped backed quickly, but this only convinced me that any slight movement on my part only provoked a like and increased move- ment on the part of the ghost. I then abruptly turned about and with the ghost almost on my heels in his hot pursuit after me, rushed madly and half-crazedly into the adjoining room, falling over and knocking down eonsiderable furniture that lay in my path. This room was to- tally dark, and, therefore, prevented me from seeing the ghost. Hence my terror was also in one way intensified, for T knew not whether the ghost was, at the moment, close beside me or notg and I was unaware at what moment he would be lia- ble to spring with his elutehes of death upon me. I then cautiously and slowly made my way into another room adjoining this one. In this last room there was a door which opened into the room from which I originally came, and where the dimly-lighted lamp was on the table. Shall I open this door'? ' 'WVhat if the ghost is standing in front of it? I will then meet my doom instantly ----I thought. Realizing that mv life might be at stake if I opened the door, you can imagine how extremely cautiously I pro- ceeded to open it. lVhy not stay where you are? , you might ask. But the idea which was burning into my brain was that the ghost must surely be 'standing next to me. I knew not for certain just where he was. This idea alone almost drove me to take my own life rather than meet death by the hands of this demon. Being therefore, violently impelled to some ac- tion, Iproceeded to open the door. After the door was opened slightly, I had the as- surance, at least, that the ghost was not standing directly in front of the door. Slowly and steadily I pushed the door further open and gradually was able to obtain a full view of the room. I saw nothing' in the room except what belonged there, and tried to convince myself that the ghost must either have vanished or was still in some other portion of the house. I then stepped into the room and closed the door quickly and firmly behind me. 'With my entire body trembling help- lessly, I endeavored again to get back into my armehai1'. lVhen I reached it, I fell down into it as though I was a lifeless being, for, indeed, I felt that I had al- ready passed through what was worse than several deaths. Immediately after dropping into the chair, I felt that my eyes would fall out of their sockets, for, from under the table at my very elbow there came out and rose before me once more that same spectre, that same devil- ish demon. By almost superhuman efforts l was able to fiing myself out of the chair. The ghost came directly after me, how- ever, and would not take the gaze of his Hery eyes away from me. In my wildness I retreated from him so swiftly and un- eonseiously that suddenly my body struck with a great thump against a wall of the room. T quickly regained myself. But I had to keep on retreating, until finally I was aware that this monster was forc- 15 A19 THE PIO NONITE 25 ing and crowding me into a corner of the room. There was no possible refuge or escape. Very soon I was forced to croueh myself in the corner. All that I could do now was to watch the ghost slowly coming towards 111c. Having a moment to think, I now realized how eunningly he had tricked and deceived me. When I had fled from the room, he had not fol- lowed me, but concealed himself under the table until I should return. Knowing that he had me in his power, he seemed to take a special delight in coming toward me so tedlously slow that he put me in constant and agonizing pain. Great Godin, I muttered, VVhy did this ever come about? I then distinctly remem- bered that I had always denied even the existence of ghosts. I was now to be given positive proof that my denials had all been grave errors. But I wished no proof. I feared it. Nevertheless, the white-robed Figure kept steadily advancing. By this time I had crouched in the corner so low, that I could not possibly move any fur- ther. The ghost was now up to me. He then also crouched down so that he was directly upon my helpless form. I tried to scream. But I couldn't. Bringing forth his hand, he stealthily moved his long and bony fingers towards my throat. As soon as they touched my skin, their iey-cold- ness sent a sickly chill throughout my whole body. He then opened wide his keen eyes, and sent their horrible mcs- sage directly into mine, and at the very same instant I awoke from my terrible and troubled dream. ' -ali. Stollenwerk EXPEDIENCY OF FIRE PROTECTION IN THE SCHOOLS. There is no one who will dare to uphold or advocate an ar :'uiuent which attempts to prove fire protection in schools a fal- lacy. First ot' all because the safety and security ot' children is regarded as most sacred and an absolute necessity for the welfare and safe-guarding ot' the men and women ot' tomorrow. Secondly, because it could be but a narrow-minded, illiberal or bigoted character who would wish to op- pose llie necessary and requisite protec- tion against tire. Let us take for example the catastrophe at llobart, Okla., Christmas Eve, where in ten minutes thirty-four lives were snuffcd out and over forty were injured, probably fatally. The story of the trag- edy is brief. A ca11dle ignited cotton on a Christmas tree, the cotton dropped into a bundle of paper taken from presents. Then a lamp exploded. Flames leaped to the card-board ceiling and iicny death fell from above onto the panic-stricken mass of fathers, mothers and children. The fioor caught tire and in a moment the whole place was a seething pyre. It was soon begun and soon over, all within ten minutes and all because of the fact that THERE IVAS NO IVAY OF ES- CAPE!! Convinced of the necessity of fire protection in schools you will not wonder at the tact that in the majority of the schools today fire drills are fre- quent and compulsory for all those who should be acquainted and COIICCTIICQI with tl1en1. Indeed it is not a means of pro- viding' the students with a period in which to talk, joke and playg rather, it has a purpose, and that purpose is to acquaint the students with the rudiments of a. proper and orderly method of leaving the building in case a fire should break out. Authorities have been awakened to the dangers of fire in schools and have taken such precaution both in erection of new buildings and protection of the old ones in order that school children who spend a large part of their time within the walls of these structures may be safe-guarded as they should be. This example should be followed not only in the cities Where we have the necessary fire protection, but also in the rural districts where chances for such an appalling event as the Babb's School fire are always present. The mere education of our youth is not the whole responsibility of school author- ities. Sa t'e-guarding their lives by mak- ing sure that thev are not shut up in a fire trap but provided with every possible protection is a large part ot' the responsi- bility. -Francis R.

JOHN J. RUEPING. 'We extend our compliments and felieita- tions to one who has spent ten years in the service of the students of Pio Nono- Professor Rueping. I am afraid that 1ny feeble pen is in- capable of vividly portraying this noble and generous life, however, l will do my best for the benefit of those who have not made his acquaintance as ylet. He is in the hearts of all those who were taught by him. This is evidenced by the fact that the returning prodigals of '13, '14, '15, and upward invariably ask, XVhere is Prof. John'? 'tls Prot. Ruep- ing at home? His ability to please and his eapability to instruct have made him a potent factor in the success of this institution. Certain- ly these men who have left with his praises on their lips and a love for him in their hearts will recommend this sehool to their friends from the eup of their bene- fieenee. The fact that he is always solieitous about the welfare of the students in his charge is shown by his aetions in elass when a student is absent. Iuvariably he will await the pupil's return or if this is impossible he will take him to his room where speeial help will be given. As a diseiplinarian he is striet. but just, demanding hard work. His geniality and kindness have obtained for him many friends in the student body and in the publie. lVhen life beeomes a drudgery. a word or a smile from him and the mist rises, while a halo like to that in the heav- ens after a rain storm, appears, and lite beeonies onee more bearable. His interest in the sehool is best shown in the time, work, and energy expended by him in beautifying the premises so as to make it as home-like as possible. 18 His life is inseparably linked with Pio Nono. He is a mathematieal genius. Several generous offers from higher schools has he refused, preferring to remain with his be- loved Alma Mater. lVe are highly honored in having him for our esteemed professor. His disposition is a jewel, his ability is unequaled, but as a professor he ranks supreme. May his genial and beloved person long light the elassrooms of this institution. -Conrad Cook A NEW GYM?

In the world of literary genii, 0110 name casts a prominent shadow against the artistic background of famous writers ot all time. That glorious name adorned a very talented man who lived during .the reign of Elizabeth. The man was William Shakespeare. Unquestionably Shakespeare was a ge- nius. lVe would call any ditterent thought, folly. The simplicity and at the same time the complication with which Shakespeare's works are tilled, enthralls the modern reader of literature and 1n- stills in him a spirit of astonishment at such a vocabulary and so gifted an in- tellect. I Shakespeare 's education and his genius do not balance. His genius outweighs his education. W'hy then do people ask, How was it possible for a man with but a grannnar school education to possess such skill? The answer as derived from Shakespeare's lite and environment pre- sents itself naturally to the imagination ot one who reads and not only reads but studies and ponders over Shakespeare's poetry and literature. He lived it, and a person to whom art is so interesting a subject, success must be inevitable. lVith Shakespa-are's demise, the world lost an artist ot the rarest kind. The world otf painting' had its Michael Angelo, the scientific world had its Galileo, and so also the realm of literature had its Shakespeare. Masters supreme were they in all their endeavors, and casting retiec- tion upon their persevering characters, we are moved to believe that it is highly im- probable that the world will again pay homage to and glory in the existence of such supernaturally inspired human crea- tures. --Clem. .T. Tesensky EDUCATION IN THE HOME. Ot' all the responsibilities which life imposes upon human beings, perhaps, there is none greater than that of parent- hood. The parents are responsible for the most important' training a child rc- ceives in the home, the training in morals and religion. For it is in the home that a 19 child forms the physical, social and moral habits, which will follow him all through life. lt is an accepted fact that during the hrst years of lite we are most apt to re- ceive impressions. Therefore it is very important that a child receive his moral and religious training at an early age. He should be taught those virtues which are the foundation ot character and which will develop him into real manhood. He should learn to be honest, reliable, trust- worthy and unselfish. He should learn to be clean of speech as well as of body. He should learn that in life as well as in fun he should play the game and play it fair. Then, too, a child must learn to obey his parents because this is the foundation of obedience to the law of God and ot man. If a child is not taught to obey the co1111na11ds of his parents, he will obey no law whether it be lunnan or divine. It is upon these foundation stones ol' character, that the superstructure ot' a beautiful, noble lite is built. YVhat a 1'e- sponsibility this is for parentsg yet what a blessing' tor them to see their children, upon whose character they have striven to imprint their ideals, grow into noble manhood and blooming womanhood. THE DEMOTION OF FORMER BRIG- ADIER-GEN. MITCHELL It is both pleasing' and inspiring to hear that we still have, in our day, men who have the interest ot their country truly at heart. On the contrary, it is highly disgusting when we are 'forced to hear the news of men who through bigoted ideas and personal motives act in a manner such that they hinder the due prorress ot' our nation, The exirtence in our 001111- try ot the above types of men has been shown in the recent demotion ot' Brig- adier-General VVIH. Mitchell. Gen. Mitchell has brought to light the defenseless position of our nation espec- ially as compared with that ol' other lead- ing nations. ln very plain statements he made known the terrible deficiency ot' our air forces, and .t'urthermore. proposed the establishment ot' a separate department ot aviation, independent of both army and navy. For this fearless exposure of the country's disastrous position of defense, T19 PIO ITE 25 he was brought before the house aircraft investigating committee. Before this com- mittee Gen. Mitchell further stated that anti-aircraft guns are worthless as means of defense against airplane attacks. To prove he was wrong, Secretary of iVar Weeks ordered the Fortress Monroe test. Airplanes dragging large targets flew slowly and in a straight line. Still the anti-aircraft guns were unable to register a single shot at the targets. The nearest shot was 500 feet away! XVhen, however, the airplanes were given an opportunity to show their worth in bombing vessels they poured bomb upon bomb upon any designated place of the vessel, and thus proved o11ce more their superiority over all other forms of defense. The vital need for an efiicient air force, as Gen. Mitchell advocates, was thus definitely proven. Gen. Mitchell pointed out that there are more than 20 government bureaus directly interested in aviation, and that although more than SS400,000,000 have been ex- pended within the last five years for avi- ation purposes, we have but twenty ma- chines fitted for use in real aircraft war. XVe rank fifth among the nations in avi- ation. To Gen. Mitchell, therefore, the best remedy to secure a more efficient air force and without the expenditure of such vast sums, appeared to he a centralization of all our aircraft activities. Such a cen- tralization, however, is naturally opposed by various higher officials because of per- sonal reasons. So it is probable that the regime of the air forces will continue un- der the old policies, and that we shall keep on progressing in this line with the same marvelous rapidity as we did in the last five years. Gen. Mitchell was vindicated before the house aircraft committee. The Fortress Monroe test proved that his statements were correct. And yet for having in- formed the nation of its critical state of defense, and for having performed his duty by stating what he knew to be the facts, and having done in this in defiance of all manner of threats, he has becn-de- moted: Gen. Mitchell should he sincerely congratulated for his patriotic interest in the welfare of his country, and it is to be hoped that upon many of our statesmen like Secretary XVeeks the fact will finally dawn that we are at the present time liv- ing in the twentieth centurv. -R l CHA RD STOLLFINVVER K THE AMERICAN COLLEGE. ln all European countries there is noth- ing identical with the Ameiican College. It is a unique feature of our country. There are about 50,000 young men and women graduating annually from the American colleges. These youths learn their first lesson-discipline. Even disre- garding the discipline, the American col- lege has itself, there is much discipline ad- ministered upon freshmen by seniors. l.t urges them into organization-something which must dominate universally. lt aug- ments the classic as well as the athletic morale. Did you ever notice how the rooters of an American college respond to their cheer leaders? lt indicates that they are instilled with the 1J1'lIl12l1'y consequence of discipline-loyalty. Loyalty is pre- eminent. Besides discipline a sense of equality of opportunity is imbedded in the heart of the American student. They strive earn- estly to rely on that sense to acquire the better things of life. At every com- mencement an almost indeterminable queue of college extracts is filed at the Apartment of Opportunity t1'ai11ed in competition and conscious of the fact that perseverance terminates success. These boys know that if anything in life ishpos- sibly attainable, it can be gotten by plod- ding, plodding, and always plodding. ,A certain course in a college may be applied best to a certain profession, but the aver- age graduate is being prepared for a high- grade citizen, intellectually through the variety of subjects connected with each particular study, and physically through its various games and activities. -L. M. STRACHOTA CROSS-WORD PUZZLES. Listening to the alleged humor on the subject and often dealing out various wit- ticisms regarding it, I beg to place my support in its favor. Primarily intended as a test of skill and knowledge involving persistent concentration, attention to de- tail, accuracy and precision of choice, the cross-word puzzle contains elements of no little value to the person dubious as to whether or not he masters a. vocabulary typical of an educated American. Besides 20 19 THE-,PIO ITE 25 the valuable increase in vocabulary, which involves tl1e cross-word puzzle, offers an interest in search for a new word. It is to the puzzle's credit that one may state that ot all the fads which held the pub- lic interest during' the past ,few years, the innocent cross-word is the 'more worthy of the lot.. lVe all are, I believe, aware of the fact that the addition of a few more words or phrases would not, in the least, over-burden, tax or over-balance one's mental capacity. -Francis lt. Soike VOCATIONS. The choice ot' a vocation is the most important question a young man can dc- eide and it should therefore be treated as such. Too many ot our young boys through their own neg'lig'ence, choose a tield 'for which they have no special liking, or determination to make good, and thus constitute the greater part of the self- made failures we find in lite every day. Before a boy is determined to enter upon some particular field he should have cap- ital stored away in the shape ot' knowl- edge and the skill of his hands. He must not lack couraggfe that he may strive to perfect himselt' more and more in his field. At no time should he be perl'eetly satis- fied with his present position. Besides courage and capital he must necessarily possess a knowledge ol' what he likes. Unless one loves his vocation and throws his best efforts into it en- thusiastically, the chances ot being' sue- ccsstul will be very scarce. A young' man must understand that all cannot become professional men, but it one is true to his calling, no matter how humble it be, he will merit the consideration and respect of his comrades. Since this question proves a. hard one to answer tor the aver- age youth, it is for him to think deeply, pray earnestly, and take wise counsel, that he may attain the heights that the vocation he is inclined to choose offers him. May you find the greatest joy in lite, in the work which you will perform, in your chosen vocation. -Henry XViza THE EDUCATED MAN. I heartily agree With Ramsay McDonald when he says: Certainly, the educated man is not a learned man. By this is meant that he is not necessarily educated because he is learned. Education is here spoken of in what may be teamed its true or restricted sense. The college or uni- versity graduate, although he may be highly learned, is 1l0t in consequence nec- essarily educated. Many it seems consid- er education in its relative values, simply in the number ot years spent at some in- stitution oif learning, or in terms of cred- its, or in the string of degrees a 111311 can attach to his name. Such people have very often done no more than to amass a large amount ot merelv technical and conven- tional knowledge. But as far as knowing how, and in actually living a noble life, dealing fairly with their neighbor, and in being able to maintain their happiness un- der diseourag,'ing circumstances, and in do- ing' this in consequence of what they term their education, they are far l1lfC1'l01' and know less than the poor farmer, for ex- ample, living' in a secluded region and who never saw even the inside of a higfh school. No doubt, from the standpoint of material benefit, a person could substitute nothing for the information and learning' he has acquired at a college or university. But education as considered for its moral, eth- ical, and intellectual value can never be said to go invariably hand-in-hand with learning. In fact, by some it is never at- tained, regardless of the most intensive study. To again quote Ramsay MacDon- ald: The educated man is a man with certain subtle spiritual qualities which make him calm in adversity, happy when alone, just in his dealings, rational and sane in the fullest meaning of that word in all the affairs of life. -R. Stollenwerk LEARN T0 LOVE YOUR WORK. ln order to find pleasure in your work, you must take interest in it. Do not do your work in a hurried, indecisive and worried way, because these methods of procedure will make lite miserable for you. The immediate result ot' hurry is 21 19 THE PIO N ITE overstrain. The remedy for hurry is sys- tem. Orderly thinking will ease your work considerably and preserve your nerves. As to indecision no one can ever know what is best, but it is our business to know what is probably best. Decision rests on a balance of probabilities, not on pertect judginent. All forceful people de- cide quickly. They may be no nearer right than those who hesitate, but they have the advantage of having done some- thing. lt seems to be a matter of habit. lf we accustoni ourselves to deciding rap- idly in favor of what is best, we save our- selves intinite distress. As hurry is the result of lack ot order, worry is the re- sult of lack ot courage. There is a nec- essary give-and-take in the struggle for existence. .lt disaster appears, lront it bravely. If responsibility is great, do your best and look pleasant. Every per- son who strives to succeed in his work must try hard to overcome these evils. NYhen you become interested in a thing you will tind pleasure in it. XVhen you give suliicient thought to your work, you begin to love it and take pride in it. Take interest and pride in your work by trying to better your position. Interest alone is enough to affect changes for the better. By trying to introduce some change into the method of your work you will receive more satisfaction from it. Do not get dis- couraged if your particular method did not happen to meet the approval of your superior, because he will at onee see that you are interested in your work and will compensate you accordingly. Always be alert at your job and be cheerful. Your particular work may not be as hard as you make it. Try to be the brightness ot' your otliee. Be cou1'teous and polite to your fellow workers at all times. Your employer will never refuse a smile and besides you are spreading hap- piness and good cheer. Every person has his share ot' troubles, but the man who can take them with a smile and win, is the man who will succeed. Men who are inak- ing a success of their work seem to be ab- sorbed with these things as you have fre- quently noted. That is the reason why they are finding the greatert pleasure in life. in their work. -Henry TViZa UNITY. They a1'e all men, but ordinary men who make a living, enjoy a home and good name. Then the spark of life ebbs and falls away into the shadows, they are dead. That is all there is to it. On the vast scroll of life they have left no heroic marks. However, the story may be dif- ferent. That same spark may be the means of igniting the rocket of success which will spurt into the same shadows, illuminating all. But-in ourselves we are nothing. lf we unite with another and another to the next and the next we be- come as powerful and triumphant as an army. J oinwthat great army, get into the crowd, show your enthusiasm and ideas give your co-operation to the others. The result is obvious. You will not be lost in yur own smallness or the tedious daily routine. Inspiring great things helps to do them, and by this mere fact you un- consciously achieve greatness. Remember the quotation: Tn Unity There Is Strength. 7 --Francis R, Soike, RETREATS. A spiritual retreat is a short period of time devoted to the rest and re-creation ot' body and soul. lt is a time wherein those who are making the retreat, review and repair their past. Their souls, those delicate, complicated things which man- kind deems its most valuable possession, are calling for immediate attention. The response to this call is the strength, com- fort, light and spiritual power derived from a good retreat. As we recall the past we find bow numerous imperfections have marred even our best actions, and we see how often we have fallen through im- prudence and negligence. Perhaps the soul suffers from neglect. That soul must, as the word retreat implies, withdraw to seclusion for a period ot' three days. These three days of effective spiritual ex- ercises, directed by an expert in spiritual training, help one greatly to become stronger and happier and help him to see how much more effective it is for his own hapiness and for the welfare ot' others. 22 19 THE PIO NONI'1'E 25 Any man who has the good will and interest in l1is own soul to spend three days at a place where a retreat is in progress can make a retreat. Retreats should be made by 1nen wl1o have trou- bles and worries to bear, for which they need consolation, by men who are so deep in the affairs of this world that they for- get the hereafter, by the men who wish to know more about their religion and make it a more vital element in their lives. In short, retreats should be made by eve1'y man who has an immortal soul a11d wishes to make sure of saving it. A retreat meansxintensive training for life. lt can only be appreciated by mak- ing it yourself. The fruits of a retreat are felt by those who have 111ade retreats. The sayings of some retreatants are: 'tThe days I have spent in retreat were the happiest of my whole life. The man who told me about retreats did me the greatest favor I ever received from a friend. I feel, the retreat is the best possible form of a vacation. I return to my work with IICYV e11e1'gy of body and soul. The meditations, the instructions, the atmosphere of thoughtful rest, the genial comradeship, all combined make A MOTHER. The sweetest gift that God gives to the children of men is a mother. Her gentle hands mould the soul of youth to all that is best and noblest. Her presence in the world is a concrete expression of the tre- mendous love of God for man and like ttha. love, the love of a mother, follows man from his crib to the very gates of heaven. There are three mothers in this World and eternity. The first is the mother that bears youth in her gentle arms and turns his eyes toward God. The second is the Heavenly Mother Whose eldest son is Christ Jesus Our Lord and wnose younger children are those men whom His blood has redeemed. The third is she, whom a thou- sand sons love to call Alma Mater. In the care ot' all, rests the fate of youth. All 'three follow with loving hearts and hands in his path-way from Eternity to Etern- ity. To all three he owes a debt beyond possibility of payment, a love that must be as deep as the boundless love that dwells in their hearts. fPageant of Youth, Loyola University, those three days the most precious of my Cl- - . whole life-H ncago, Illinois., -Henry VViza Submitted by Francis R. Soike The Literary and Debating Society. The Doctor Salzman Literary and Debating Society has progressed remarkably since Christmas. The results of its enthusiasm in the beginning was manifested in the Class Plays, Elocution Contests a11d predominately in the 'tSeal of Confssionf' a five- aet play directed by the president of the society-Professor Victor Kozina. Fr. Clark introduced the playlet in third and fourth year English classes. As a result both the Seniors and Juniors presented a one-act drama, Thursday, March 19. These plays, Betty Ann, by the Seniors and the Lucky Playwright, by the Juni- ors, were written and enacted by the members of each class. On Tuesday, April 7th, the Sophomores also displayed their dramatic ability by presenting Vietory for Virtue, a three-act play. The faculty was immensely pleased with these plays and encouraged such activit-ies in the future. In theSenior Elocution Contest first prize was awarded to Francis Soike,'25, second to Henry YViza, '25, and third to Matt Laviolette, '26. The Junior winners were as follows: Edward Zanuzoski first, Jos. Siebold second and Edward Ver Halen third. The society reached its high water mark at the Seal of Confession. This drama was presented by the Pio None Dramatic Club. This was the greatest accomplishment at Pio None in dramatic activities. It was given with great success in the evenings of April 23, 25, and 26. IVc foresee a bright dramatic year at Pio None in l926. . 23 . 19 THE PIO ITE 25 WINDOWS. iVindows, the watching, silent windows ever looki11g out upon the world but never speaking, are of interest to the man who delights in the knowledge, beauty and power of all things abstract. iVindows are an aid to mankind because one can look through to the outside world and enjoy nature to its fullest eXtent'and look forward, the direction in which one should always look. iVindows disclose the outside world, all its beauty, light, darkness, happiness and grief. lt lets the sunshine in and is opened lest, the airy fragrance of the blossoms and the merry song of the bird on wing escape. And in winter, when this delight is absent, nature with a busy pen- cil draws designs of ferns and flowers, fine sprays of pines, oak-leaves, acorns and fantastic vines, which do remind us of the coming sunnner with its twittering birds, who fiit upon the outer sill singing to the inmates. And again it reminds us of the spring, when blossoms waftcd against the pane drop to the sill there to remain and spend the fragrant odors of their per- fumery. Of spring, which is soon to come like the light of blessedness upon the face of a hallowed saint, which shines from another world. iVindews: You are the glass with mys- tic powers, unrivaled majesty who will some day call back to earth, when hoary winter boards the train for other shores. April, in its prime. the bower of loveli- ness, and every window shall be opened to receive your guest-the fair bearer of the messages that summer sends. iiiindows! Do we actually appreciate themf? Yes, in a fashion, insofar as they appease our curiosity. Do we ever stop to thank God for the benefits derived from them or ever consider them as a necessary adjunct to the home? lf win- dows could speak what a story they would tell! XVhat, in reality are windows? ln the broader sense, they are our mind, our in- tellect. As our eyes are the windows of our souls, so do windows constitute the principal means by which our cognizance of the outside world is obtained. Are we satiated with their beneficence? We are ever looking and seeing, yet we do not observe. Intelligent observation is a worthy teacher. VVc may observe the good or the had in the outside, why then do we not encompass in our minds, the stars, rather than the mud? Observe that which will inspire deeper thought. In looking at two objects, observe the better of the two and recognize those qualities in it which are most appealing and delightful to the human mind. -Francis R. Soike CLASS WILL. iVe, the Seniors of 1925, being qualified physically and intellectually, hereby be- queath, give and devise to the Juniors the following: The dignified appellation of Seniors, The painstaking p1'ofessors, whom we. their proteges, most heartily thank. The new dormitory and classroom with all their furnishings and conveniences. The gymnasium, which we hope will be displaced with us. The playwright and enactment supremacy for which we earnestly strove. The honorable offices of prefect and captain which we will vacate. Our seats in the study-hall which are haunted by wisdom, and our pews in the Chapel which are surrounded by virtue. The conservatory of music with its many Baby Grands and f'Wurlitzers which we kept in good tune. The campus and tennis courts which developed our physical prowess. Lastly the famous structure known as Pio Nono High School, with its hallowed halls which will echo and reecho our footsteps and our calls we bequeath to all its future inhabitants, hoping they will add glory and fame to its reputation. In witness whereof, the class of 1925 to this, our will, set our seal and signature. L. M. S. 24 an 9 HE PIO NO I'1'E 2 fffsfss U milf? X f X i !- N T I iv?

The stu- dents grouped about the tire and sang, after which Father Mason called on mem- bers of the team to give short impromptu speeches. Cigars were passed around and undoubtedly everybody enjoyed them- selves. The evening of Nov. 25th found our football squad seated around the banquet tables ready to do their share to what was set' beI'ore them. Fr. Clark and Fr. Mason were sponsors of this fest and we were honored infhaving present our worthy eoaeh, Mr. Ervin YVendt. Prof. Gramann's song box furnished the mu.-ic and ex- temporaneous speaking was in order. Fr. Clark acted as toastmaster. Cigars being the final course the banqueters smoked and chatted until the final curtain was rung down. Nov. 26th was a free day. Many of the students took advantage of this occasion to go home and to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with their parents. Nov. 27th the students returned seem- ingly none the worse for the ,Thanksgiv- ing repast. On the Feast of the Immaculate Con- ception Dee. 8th High Mass Was sung at 8 :00 o'eloek by Fr. Clark. The entire stu- dent body reeeiyed Communion in honor of the Mother of God and about ninety names were added to the membership of Lhe Blessed Yirgin's Sodality, the annual reception taking place on that day. Fr. Felsecker of St. Aemelian's Orphanage delivered the sermon, which was a most inspiring a11d beautiful one. On Saturday evening Dec. 20th a Christmas program was given, Prof. Ko- zina directing. This was done for the ben- etit of the students before leaving for home, and it proved' a great success. Among the many names which appeared on the program are those 11oted for their versatility, having again volunteered to do their bit. Those taking part were: The Hlee Club, Violin Ensemble, Messrs. Gi- guerre, LaViolette, Conners, Schumacker. Soike, LeBreek, Betzler, Huemmer, New- comb, Yerllalen, Taylor, Neidermeyer. Dec. 21st, immediately after breakfast, the majority of the students left for home to spend the Christmas holidays. Jan. 5th at 7:00 p. ni. the students re- turned :from the long-awaited Christmas vacation. Each and all had a story to re- late and everybody was interested in what Santa Claus had brought the other fellow. Everybody in full vigor is ready to start the New Year. Jan. Tth classes were resumed and con- tinued until 12 o, clock. Being TVednes- day, the afternoon was consequently free and many of the students spent the after- noon in re-arranging their things and dusting off their books, Jan. 19th being Holy Family Day, the patronal feast of the school, was a free day. High Mass was sung at 9:00 a. m. by Msgr. Traudt, Fr. Bonk acting as dea- con, Fr. Hurst sub-deacon and Fr. Brust 25 19 THE PIO NONITE 25 master nf nm-nmonics. Rev. Francis Mur- phy, pastor of St. Clement 's Sheboygan, delivered the sermon. After the High Mass, lunch was served and we were given permission to go to the city. Jan. 20th at 6:30 p. m. we were hon- ored with having present at supper with us, Prof. Printe of Marquette University. Fr. Clark acted i11 his usual 1'ole of toast- master and introduced him to the student body. U lIe gave a short talk to the stu- dents on Organization , It was a very instructive and pleasing topic and each and every one of the students uniter in thanking Mr. Printe for the kind consid- eration. The 28th, 29th, and 30th were the days in which the exams had full swing. The whole place resembled a Busy Body Boy 'S Club during the reign ol? this evident ad- versary ot scholastic endeavor. Father Clark allowed the students a brief holiday Saturday 31st and Sunday lst, which time was spent by Illillly i11 a visit home. Everybody returned at 7:30 p. m. Sunday ready to start by'hard work, the second semester. Father Clark, on Feb. 5th, announced the tact that we were to have a new Mas- ter oi' Discipline. Up to this time our es- teemed Hector had been shouldering both the oliice of Rector and Master of Discip- line. Owing to the over-burden and strenuous work ot' both, Father O'Boyle will assume the latter oliice. At 2:00 p. ni. Thursday Feb. 12th, the preliminaries ot' the elocution contest were held. The effort and pleasure each of the entrants took, in preparing his selection made the afternoon a ve1'y enjoyable one. Second, Third and Fourth year were rep- resented by four men, two ot' which were selected to take part in the finals of Feb. 2-tth. Those who took part are the fol- lowing: Fourth year: Conrad Cook, Clement Tesensky, Henry VViza, and Francis Soike. Third year: John Slater, John Rienzi, Joseph LeBreck, Matt La Violette. Second year: Stanley WVitkov- iak, Harold Newcomb, and Joseph LcDore, The judges of the event were Frs. Gehl of St. John's Tnstitute, Manly of Milwau- kee and Garvey ot' Madison. On Friday, the 13th, Fr. Mason dis- to the stu- tribnted baseball schedules dents in which is outlined the season's coming baseball games. Many teams Well qualified to stand our keenest opposition are represented. The issuing of these schedules helped to promote a greater in- terest among the students in the coming athletic activities. The schedule provides for a number of excellent games both at home a11d abroad, and all may eagerly look forward to some pleasant Zll't01'l100l1S on the baseball diamond. YVashington's Birthday, Feb. 20th, held in store a delightful surprise with the announcement that all would be permitted to enjoy a few days otf vacation from Sat- urday, the Qlst, until the following Mon- day. The privilege was duly appreciated as was shown by the fact that the great majority of the students visited their folks, and at the same time paid homage to the father ot' the country on his birth- day. The finals of the animal elocution con- test were held on the evening of Feb. 2-1th at 8:00 p. ni. in the college gymnasium. It was a notable success, and attorded an evening of entertainment for all present, including many ot the Alumni. A gold medal is awarded to the student who mer- ited Iirst place. The Elocution contest is a recent inauguration in the academic ac- tivities ot the school, and it will in the future constitute an annual event. It was on this same night that the new Pio Nono band made its initial public appearance. The early success ot' the band, and the im- mediate favorable recognition which it has met, were both voiced in the consid- erable applause tende1'ed it on that night. Feb. 2, Scotty was here. He came in the afternoon and showed us some stunts. And Scotty is some acrobat. He is the man that grows. Everybody derived a hundred laughs a second out of his com- ical antics. Scotty can grow seven and one-halt' inches, and he showed us how. VVe all had a good forty-tive minutes of fun and diversion and wish to thank Fr. Clark for procuring such an able enter- tainer as Scotty for us. March 9th we were entertained by the Minstrels ot' the Lord who gave three playlets taken from incidlents in the life ot' St. Francis of Assisi. These young men and women are voluntarily devoting themselves to the good work of spreading the doctrine ot' Christ. A chartered car carried the students to 26 19 THE PIO NCJNITE 25 see the Passion Play of Freiburg at the Pabst Theater Friday, March 13th. This production is a movie taken by an Amer- ican company with the explicit permission of those concerned. This play being 300 years older than the Passion Play at Oberammergau is the original and first Passion Play ever undertaken to such a magnificent extent. We are sure that those who witnessed it derived no little benefit from it, this being one of the Hnest pro- ductions of the Passion Play ever wit- nessed by many ot the students. On March 17th, St. Patrick's day, wc were favored by having free in the morn- ing. ln the afternoon the Freshman elo- cution contest was held and the work done by these youngsters is truly admirable. Their selections were memorized and given faultlessly and everybody was sus- prised by the intensity of zeal and will- ingness which characterized their every gesture. Three students represented each section of First English class and three were picked as prize winners in lst, 2nd and 3rd place. Thursday, March 19th, the Seniors and Juniors presented their playlets, which were written by the classes themselves. The casts included members of fourth and third year respectively. The Senior play- let was entitled Betty Ann and the Juniors ttThe Playwright . The audience voiced their acclamation in praise of both and undoubtedly they were enjoyed by all. On March 27th Father Mason issued 8. call for baseball players illlll after many of the candidates tdevotees of the nat- ional sportj had been given their try-out? we were very much impressed and expect a winning team to carry our colors on the diamond this Spring. The latter days ot' March and the first of April were spent by many in the prof- itable game of quoits. ltfany a young man 's fancy has lightly turned to this re- creation and he has emerged a promising young 'f ringer. ' ' April 6th, 7th and 8th were spent in taking the third quarter exams. Everybody became studiously inclined and in thc study halls such a calm silence prevailed that a pin could be heard to drop at any time. April 6th a group picture of the faculty and entire student body was taken and everyone is hoping that it will be a suc- cess altho' we are doubtful as to whether or not the camera may have been broken. April 7th, the students of second year presented a plav to the house and visitors, and needless tg say tl1e efforts they spent in making this a success were not in vain, for their little playlet showed work and time put on it in honest endeavor. On April 8th the majority of the stu- dents hied themselves home to spend the Easter vacation with their parents. This was the most eagerly awaited of all the vacations this year and without a doubt it was used to good advantage by every- bodv. altho' a few contracted ills which enabled them to enjoy a few extra days. Sunday, April 19th, which was to wit- ness the advent of our new baseball team on the diamond, was a dark and rainy day consequently the game which was to have been played that day was necessarily cancelled much to the chagrin of the fans and players. All the photographers in Milwaukee are buying new lenses and cameras since the invasion of their studios by the Seniors. Many maps and eountenances were regis- tered on the gelatin, since at this time fApril 20thJ the Seniorsgwere preparing for their commencement June 1-ith. 1 Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, April Qilrd, 25111 and 26th, the school play, The Seal of Confession, in five acts, was of- fered to the students and outside public, Prof. Kozina directing. Students of the 2nd and 3rd year shouldered the bulk off the main characters. This animal play has been again inaugurated, being the first one that has been given in three years. It scored a tremendous hit and duly so, since those taking part strove hard to make it a success. Friday, April 2-ith, the Pio Nono Sub- urban League Elocution Contest washeld. Father Mason is supporting this new movement. Seventh and eighth grades of various schools in the city and suburbs were entered in the contest and the spirit and evident good work of these little fel- lows is very commendable. Three prizes were awarded, the lst, a gold medal, to Raymond Hennel, 2nd prize to Albert Treible, 3rd prize to Frank Laudonoi. Fr. Kaminski, Fr. Reilly and Fr. TVedl acted as judges at the contest.

Guido Fonteehio, a popular student at Pio None from 1921'-1925 is now attend- ing a boa1'ding school in Chieti, Italy, studying particularly the language of that land. From a letter se11t to Prof. Ruep- ing we are informed that the climate in that region is excellent. He also writes that there is no place like the U. S. A. for many things, specifying two, sports and to- baccos, of which he is exceedingly fond. 1Ve are glad to know Guido intends to re- turn to America and has already promised to visit Pio None. It has been reported that Mr. R. Kom- arowsky has embarked, rather clandes- tinely, upon the sea of matrimony. Pray, skipper, who is,your mistress? Joe Smith, Ike, invites everybody to come to Iowa to become millionaires. 1Vell, Joe, we think it is worth while con- sidering. Having been the candy store man at Pio None for several years you will have little trouble counting your money, Joe. The following former students at Pio None were ordained Feb. 1, 1925: Rev. P. Salm, appointed to .... Marinette Rev. J. Schneider, appointed to ..Racine Rev. J. Feider, appointed to .... Kenosha Rev. F. Shea, appointed to ...... Racine Mr. Cyrill and Mr. Kraft have recently favored Pio Nono with a visit. IVC hope that others will follow suit. Prof. Leo A. Xickasch resigned his po- sition as organist and director at St. Mary's Church, Appleton, IVis. He ae- cepted a similar position at Holy Angel's Church, Gary, Ind. Address: T04 Polk Street, Gary, Ind. Mr. P. Schcuerell, a. 1923 graduate, is employed as salesman with Sinclair Oil Co. in Chicago. W'e we1'e recently in- formed that he is happily married and settled in the city of his employment. Father Gruenwald, former professor and procurator at Pio None, who has a parish at Ashford, VVis., visited us recent- ly. New that you are closer, Father, come and visit us often. Charles Brandenstein, Brandy , a. 1923 graduate, is employed at the Mil- waukee Mechanics Insurance Co., Mil- waukec. Mr. Raymand Zurn, a student and gradu- ate of years gone by, who spent the last few years in European waters as a sailor, lately joined the Navy. Rev. Ed. Rodenkirch, former professor of the college, has been advanced to the parish of St. Rita at Milwaukee. Fred Maersh, a 192-L graduate, is assist- ant cashier in his father's bank at She- beygan. Good stuif, Fritz, now we know where to get the 'dough.' Father Schneider, Father Salm, and Father Shea gave their first blessing to the students on the day following their ordination. ' .Ioe Gardner, who formerly worked for the Penn Mutual Life lnsurancc Co., is enjoying himself on his father-in-law's farm near Allenton, 1Yis. At the request of the editor of Pio None Alumni I will give a flickering sign of life. Shortly after Easter 1889, I entered the Catholic Normal at St. Chas. Fessler was rector, and he encour- aged me to take up the musical cou1'se The first hour in his class convinced me, that if my first Francis. Rev. under Prof. Singenbergcr. instructor in music, Prof. Oberhoffer of Luxemburg, had evinced only half the zeal and patience of Chevalier Singen- berger, I would have mastered the organ during my studies at the Normal of Lux- emberg. As it was, I had to start in at the beginning and although 23, had to train my hands like a little boy. 1Vhen I looked at some of the aged, earnest faces 29 19 THE PIO NONITE 25 of the fourth year, I had to admit that if men of 30 could learn and practice suf- ficiently for graduation, I should not give up. Soon I had occasion to admire the professor's pedagogical tact and imparti- ality. The oldest student of the institu- tion was a Polish count, Mr. YVascovicz, who had been exiled to Siberia by the Czar, but who had succeeded in making his escape. He was over 40 years old and a very pious man. His voice, and his hear- ing had suffered in the icy regions, but nevtvthcless he was eager to study music and to play the organ. A quack had per- suaded him, that if he would inhale the fumes of a strong solution of ammonia, he would regain his voice and hearing. He carried a flask with the solution in his vest pocket and sniffed at it every 5 or 10 minutes. When he practiced melodian in the organ house, he would sing, counting the beats of every note, but singing more than an octave higher than the melody of his lesson. Oh, it was a shrill piping, lit not to soften tones, but to enrage human ears. By good or by bad luck it happened, that I had two or three practice hours on an instrument adjoining the Count's me- lodian room. I tried everything to steady my nerves and my ears, so as not to hear the sharp, shrill singing, but to no avail. So I concluded to stuff up my ears, to bandage my head, and to pump the bel- lows, so as to drown the Count 's chant by the noise. Suddenly one day the door opened and I heard Prof. Singenberger's stcntorian voice Man, are you mad or crazy, to pump the bellows at such a speed Look- ing around. I said: A fellow would be sick and erazv to have to listen to that serenading for an hour, A smile played around the professor 's mouth, but he sup- pressed it, saying: Miz Vliassovicz has the same rights here as anv other stu- dent, and if he practices singing while playing melodian, that is his own affair. I did not dare to contradict, but I asked if he could not be urged to sing at a lower pitch. The good nrofessor said: My dear man, you shouldn't have taken the right to remedy it in your own hands, you should have complained at the 1'cctor's ottice. Besides you exploded the bellows by your fast pumping, and even if the seams be glued together again, the instru- ment will have to rest Cer several days. Your practice hours are canceled for this week, so that the students using this in- strument can take your hours at the other melodiuns. It will never do, to take the law in one's hands. I had tc admit, that the professor was right. Next week, I had my hours assigned asain, but none coincided with the Count 's practice in a ll0il1 lly I'00lll. In the vacation of 1890 I stayed at the Normal. On one day Father Gerend called me to the rector 's otiice and handed me a letter of a school trustee from Ne- braska, asking tor a Catholic teacher. The reverend rector advised mc to accept the position, and I followed his advice, giv- ing my terms to the ineuirer. My proposi- tion was accepted, and so, after the Feast ot' Assumption, I started on my westward journey. It was quite a pioneer life in Nebraska. but it suited me. and I stayed five years at Menominee, Nebraska. In 1895 the trustees of St. Joseph Parish, Constance, Nebraska, engaged my services and there I taught schooi nm. played the organ for ten successive years. The cold winters undermined my health, and in 1905 I had to Quit teaching and move with mv familv to California. Although I was given up by the doctors and by our pastor, I rallied again, and although an in- valid for twentv years. I can move around a little and derive a living from garden- ing and poultry raising. Only two of the former fellow students of the Catholic 30 19 'rr-112: PIO NQNITE 25 Normal remained in correspondence with me, and I surelv would like to know what became of the multitude of other school- mates. Pio Nono left a dear memory in my heart, and surelv 1 eniov hearing of its prosperity. Kindest regards to the faculty and to all Alumni. Respectfully, Anton Seri-es. WALTER R. MONNIG. 1Valter lt. Monniu. who was graduated from the Catholic Normal School on June 24, 1891, died at his home in St. Louis, Mo., on Saturday, March 28, 1924-, and after funeral ceremonies in Mary Mag- dalene Church, was tenderly laid to rest in Sts. Poser and Pau!'s Cemetery on Wednesday, April lst. Mr. Monnig: was born, at Amenicus, Mo., fifty-two vears au'o and after completing his elementarv studies in the parish school at that place, entered the Military Acad- emv at Lexington. Mo. It being his de- sire to become a priest, he later took up his studies in St. Francis Solanus College, Quincy, Ill. As this step was opposed by his father, who was ai non-Catholic, he decided to follow the next noblest call- ing. that ot Catholic teacher and organist, and with this end in View pursued his courses at the Catholic Normal School at St. Francis, 1Vis., from September, 1888, until June 1891, under the regime of Revs. Charles Fessler and M. M. Gerend. Upon leaving his Alma Mater he fol- lowed his, chosen calling successfully in bt. Antonius' Parish at St. Louis, Mo.. and in the Immaculate Concc 'ion Parish of Kankaskia., 1ll. Owing to circumstances over which he had no control and which forced nearlv all of us Cat'-f-lie teachers out ot our chosen, noble calling, he left the profession and accepted a position as bookkeeper with the Graham Paper Co. of St. Louis. The last years he devoted to the real estate business. selling lots from a subdivision which his wife inherited 'l'rom her father, The deceased leaves to mourn his loss, his wife, Elizabeth, and seven children. May his co-graduates and former fellow students breathe a silent m-aver for the repose ot his soul. R. R. Goelz NOTICE! NOTICE!! NOTICE! !!

G!U'2l0'-10 2-lf' 31 19 THE PIO NON ITE 25 f'4 if Z ? Q Y BASKETBALL. The interest in football was still at its highest point when Pio Nono played its last game, which was a triumph over the lVauwatosa Aggies, and football togs were put away for the season. Rev. A. C. Mason then issued a call for all candidates for the coming basketball season of '24-'25, There were only two veterans of the previous year's t'Fighting Five, and pros- pects were rather dull at lirst, but as time progressed. more volunteers. mostly from the '23-'24's second team, proved themselves worthy of filling a regular berth on the team. Due to the prolongd football season, the basketball games were delayed in getting a good start, which made the schedule somewhat smaller in comparison with the former year. The team, of whose number, four were Senior men, was one that had a line light- ing spirit, but, beyond a doubt, it appeared that his Highness, King Jinx, played a very prominent part in the majority of the games.

Guard 82 19 THE PIO NOgNITE 25 Conrad Cook, .................................................... ...... C aptain. Connie, a veteran of '23 and '24 showed his ability as a star forward on the team. As captain of the team, he displayed to his fellow players the methods of oliense and defence on the floor. His keen eye for the basket together with his fighting instinct made him an outstanding feature in all games played. We regret to announce that graduation will exclude him from all further participation in Pio Nono's basket-ball games in future years, and the vacancy left by him will require a man of un-usual basket-ball tactics. VVillian1 Gaunt, ............................. .......,.................... C enter. Doc, who acted as our pivot man on the team. was also a veteran. His 'lanky' stature was of great avail in the breaking up of passes, which prevented opposing teams from accumalating excessive points. The basket always kept his attention during the game, and as a result the leather was droppd through his hoop quite frequently. Always in the midst of the battle he would be seen fighting for lns Alma Matcr's reputation. His basket-ball career at Pio Nono is finished, because as a prospective graduate his services will be no more. Therefore another position is open on the '25-'26 quintette. Lambert Strachota, ....... .......... .............................. ....... t I 1 lard. Stroke, a faithful and competent player, started the season as a 'sub', but soon proved that he was worthy to play the position of a guard on the team. His consistency in keeping an eye on his man proved the main asset on defense, and his accuracy in passing was a remarkable characteristic. The alertness he showed in intercepting passes and the breaking up of the dribbling of his opponents was at times spectacular. His name is also listed among those of the graduates, and we can honestly say a player of his type will be hard to find for the coming year. Jerry Lukasavitz, .... . . ..... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .......... . . ...... . ..... . . . Guard. Jerry, who was a member of the second team last year, played guard with untiring effo1'ts, which convinced us that his motto was, Never Say Die . XVhen the ball was in Jerry 's possession, it required un-usual ability on the part of his antagonist to stop him. Few were the 'free-throws' that he missed when the opportunity pre- sented itself, hence he held first honors in this line. Our reliable guard expects a diploma in June, 'twill mean a. great lo.,s that will undoubtedly, be quite noticeable to the Fighting-I ive on the basket-ball court in '26. Werner Stoffel, ....................................................... Forward. Werner, the leader or captain of the second team of '23 and '24, was given the honor of occupying of forward position. He showed the traits of an extraordinary player in caging the ball at all times. As a recruit at the beginning of the year, he nevertheless, developed his playing ability to such an extent that he was awarded a regular berth on the team. Much will be expected of him in the next -year 's team as he is only a Junior, so he will be back with us to share in the adventures of the future year. John Connors, . ............................................. . .... . . . . Forward. Johnny, the stocky little forward, made his share of the points in games in which he participated. Even though he was barred from basket-ball activities for about two weeks due to sickness, he returned with the same vim and played a better game than before. This being his first year at Pio Nono, the little Irishman made a good reputation for himself. Although his brevity in height hindered him somewhat, this was overcome by his fleet-footedness. It will be a consolation to have Johnny with us again for the next two years since he is a Sophomore at present. 33 19 THE PIO NONITE 25 Victor Seitz, .................................................. . ........ Guard. Vic, a new man entering upon l1is basket-ball career surprised us all by coming through the fog and raising himself to the dignity of a good player. NVhenever a regular was either taken out or absent on account of illness, we could' rest assured that Vic would step into his place and do his part in aiding the team on to victory. At intervals he substituted for any of the forwards, and in this position his height was of great service to him. Colne on, Vic , we are relying on you for tl1e '25 and '26 triumphs. Harold Newcomb, ....................................................... Guard. Mike, another one of our many strong and husky Irishmen, was not satisfied in playing a tackle position on the football team, but endeavored to show his 'tstutfn as a basketball player. As a sub he frequently was given a chance to get into the fray, all spectators could honestly say that 'Miken was 110 slacker when it came to perform the many duties of a guard. As a lighter, he had no equal, and pity the man that dared to out-maneuver him. Here 's hoping that Mike will return to show the public at large what he is capable of doing. .The Second Team.. ' The second team of '24-'25 did not have an opportunity to show what they were capable of doing, as they were only scheduled to play six games. Although having lost their first two encounters, which made a rather poor start, they finished the remainder of the schedule with victories. As a whole, the team was composed of green material, which in a short time developed into good representatives of Pio Nono on the basket- ball court. XVith the majority of these men, the '25-'26 team ought to have plenty.of volunteers to exhibit their skill in the new gymnasium. Line-Up. De Lany, Harold tCapt.J ..... . . .

These dwarfs. while in action, dis- played such life and vigor that even the tirst team might have been able to obtain some valuable assistance if it was needed. We must admit that their floor work and passing ability were far superior to that of any other team in the league. VVith a little more experience, we may bc able to rely upon the.n to hll the shoes of the past basketball stars.

This league met with so much enthusiasm that eighty fellows went out for the ditferent teams. The number being so great it was necessary to have two leagues. The Senior league consisted of members of third and fourth year, while the Junior league was made up of the first and second vear. These games be- tween the students turnished entertainment for the students at large during the long winter months. As a reward, the champions of the respective leagues were given an em- blem for their good work. THE STANDINGS OI' TEAMS.

The game was postponed on account of unfavorable weather and a badly soaked field. Q21 On Saturday, April 25, representatives of Oconomowoc High School fur- nished our first opposition on the diamond. The first two innings netted six tallies for our boys, while the other team was overco me by our attack. As the game progressed our hopes of victory were seemingly shattered for our opponents surprised us by staging a rally which gave them a margin of two rn ns. Our fighting spirit being aroused by this sudden impetus, the boys first of all made the contest a little more interesting by encircling the bases for two more runs, therebv tying the score. Not being satisfied with this, our faithful captain, the bambino of thc team, resurrected our hopes of triumph by hitting the horse-hide for a three base hit and bringing in three men on the long drive. WVe continued this pace of slugging, making the game n real victory, emerging from the contest with the final score being 14 to 8. 36 19 THE PIO NONI'1'E 25 t3j Milwaukee University School was third on our list of scheduled games, but again We were disheartened, as the field was exceedingly wet, due to a heavy rainfall the preceding night. Therefore the squad was excused trom baseball activities until the following Saturday, when they played the strong Mukwonago High School team, Q41 Our next engagement was to journey to Mukwonago on Saturday, May 2, to cross bats with their local High School team. The game proved to be a pitcher's duel in which W. Lawler showed his superiority. Had it not been for our reliable captain, Lambert Strachota, who hit a home run in the eighth inning, with one man on base, making the score three to two in our favor, there might have been a different story to tell. Due to the fact that both teams played air tight ball with no errors chalked up against them to discredit their records, the game was most thrilling from beginning to end, with Pio None being favored with the breaks. Q51 Our winning streak was continued when Pio Nono's nine visited the YVauwa- tosa Aggies. Once again our hitting gave us a margin of three runs at the finish of the game, the final score being 6 to 3. One of our great pitchers from the preceding year, Joseph Wlinter, seemed to dazzle and outguess his opponents with his marvelous pitching, having twelve strike-outs to his credit and allowing only four scattered hits. The t'National Pastime came into its own on April 1st. It assumed the largest proportiones ever attained at Pio Nono. Thirty-five recruits reported to show their de- sired ambitions in this sport. For many this fool's day was a jinx, as the large squad was diminished to two teams. Most of the material is experienced, however, and under the able coaching of Father Mason a super-excellent team is hoped led on the field to represent us. to be 1. 1Ved., April 22, Vtlauwatosa Aggies...vs... ....

During the Penetential season of 1925 our annual pool tournament was held. As usual, our 'tene-pushers were so numerous that it was necessary to distinguish the best from the better, and the good from the better players. The interest in this sport was very enthusiastic throughout the entire contest. Much skill and knowledge of' the game was displayed in various manners, as the ivories were rolled against the cushions and banked into one of the pockets. Louis Goodare acquired the prize for winning the championship. In the different classes the winners were as follows: . 1st Division-1, Louis Goodareg 2.
