T , . . , . ...... „ this book has been published tor the purpose ot serving as a souvenir of the scholastic year of ' 34. It is not a continuation of the Ranger. but rather a senior edition of the Brown and Gold, and in order to keep away from the trite and stereotyped year book set-up, the editors of this book have attempted a novel form of arrangement and presentation of the matter. This book, dedicated to the seniors, has been arranged in diary form, to represent the chronological suc- cession of the important campus, social and varsity events. The notations on each page are but simple and random reminders set down by a senior in this, his last year, at Regis. So, begging your indulgence and thanking you for your cooperation, we present you the year book of ' 34, which would not have been possible except for the graciousness of the following patrons: MR. and MRS. J. P. MURPHY MR. and MRS. F. J. REINERT MRS. JOHN REINERT GEORGE F. COTTRELL RT. REV. MONSIGNOR JOSEPH BOSETTI DR. J. F. PRINZING MR. and MRS. CHARLES F. CASSIDY DR. and MRS. C. J. LATTA MR. J. F.

Ryan ' s appointment to office as Dean, has been one of the most successful and pleasant, for both student body and fac- ulty, that Regis has enjoyed. Scholastically, Regis has not only maintained its especially high reputation, but has enhanced it. Student activity in every campus organization and institution has increased tremendously, and the students ' whole- hearted participation in all extra-curricular movements has been due chiefly to the encouragement and cooperation of the Dean. The congeniality, sympathetic under- standing, justice and good fellowship of Father Dean has done much to banish the sometimes prevalent inferiority complex and hostile attitude a student body takes toward scholastic authority. If this first year may be taken as an indication of the future, then perfect cooperation between the Dean, faculty, and student body is well assured. «f 4 .. Do Faculty. Hope they like me.

Cast my last ballot for student council representatives. The Student Council. The Student Council is an administrative body whose members are selected as representatives of the various classes and important organizations, to solve the various student problems and to supervise college activities. The student administrators fulfilled their positions admirably this year and con- scientiously strove to be real representatives of the student body. At the beginning of the school term the council imposed and enforced freshmen rules. Felix Lepore, junior member, was appointed judge of the Kangaroo Court and he chose as his prosecutor, Martin Hastings, junior. Mr. Lepore was every bit a judge and while serving his term on the bench administered justice with a measure of severity, tempered with graciousness, which will long be remembered by those unfortunate members of the class of ' 37 who fell into the toils of the Enforcement Committee. The weekly student assemblies were supervised by the council which staged a variety of programs ranging from the absurdities of slap-stick coined) to the highly beneficial programs of an educational variety. The climaxing social event of the council was the Annual Prep Parade which was held at the Regis gymnasium and the success of which was demonstrated by the large attendance. The members of the Student Council are: Five senior representatives: Frank Sullivan, student president; Niels Beck, John Baker, John Cassidy. and Fred Chilero: three juniors: John Harris, Felix Lepore. and J. Emmett Harrington: two sopho- mores: Joseph Walsh and C. Arthur Cassidy: one freshman representative: W illiam pi m.II, Louis Hart of the Delta Sigma: Vincent Dwyer fi the Broun and Gold. and Walter Angerer, the Sodality representative. u :! 8 fe. First sodality meeting. My fourth and last year as a sodalist and have nei er regretted it. )o( n o OCl Ilty. An innovation in soladity organization was introduced at Regis this year in that the sodalists were divided into two groups, the Senior and the Fresh- man Sodalities. The former was an organization of voluntary membership while the latter was compulsory. At the ever-new, yet traditionally old, ceremony of ini- tiation, those members of the Freshman Sodality that had secured the approval of the consultors were admitted to the senior group on April 29. The sodality has been quite active this year. It held several activity meetings, student discussions, sponsored a spaghetti dinner and of course climaxed their en- deavors with the May Crowning. The daily services at the shrine during the month of May were under sodality supervision. At the beginning of the second semester a new group of officers was elected. Vincent Giacomini was chosen first prefect, and Andrew Hauk. second. The other officers are: Milan Predovich, Bert Sender. John Harris, Felix Lepore, Louis Weber, Emmet Kilker, and Jim O ' Hern. Regis Mission Society. The Regis Mission Society is a unit of the C.S.M.C., and is composed of students who have special interest in Mission work. The purpose of the society is to assist the Missionary in spreading the Church among Pagans, and to increase the Apostolic zeal of the students by impressing them with the important obligation they have of helping the Missions by their Spiritual and financial generosity. Active interest in the Mission Society is stimulated by maintaining board: by adopting a special Mission, by cooperation with the Sodality ii matters, and by arranging talks to the student body by active Missionaries. bulletin piritual m 9 h b The first, issue of the Brown and Gold in this, my last year at school.  m Row— Walsh. Fc The Brown and Gold. The Brown and Gold has experienced quite a successful period during this year ' s scholastic term. It has maintained its position as official organ of school life and of school progress, and has carried on the traditions and precedents of past years in its policies. The first semester saw Mr. Vincent Dwyer assuming the editorship, a capacity which he filled with competency and earnestness. However, due to press of work and the weighty hurden of a senior thesis, Mr. Dwyer found it more compatible to his interests to tender his resignation at the beginning of the second semester. Mr. Vincent Giacomini followed him as head of the editorial staff, choosing practically the same personnel that assisted Mr. Dwyer, and carrying on much of the same policy. Messrs. Richard McNamara, Alec Keller, Joseph Walsh, Walter Kranz. Francis Forsyth and Frank Sullivan assisted as associate editors and contributed much of their time and talent toward making the news in the paper interesting and campus- spirited. Mr. Bert Sender, the aggressive advertising manager, through his diligent work has made this past year the most successful financially that the paper has en- joyed since its inception. Mr. Louis Weber, as manager of circulation, contributed greatly to the efficiency and hilarity of the editorial staff, and most capably filled his position. Inasmuch as the Brown and Gold was not affiliated with any of the English classes this year, it has depended mainly upon cooperation with interested members of the student body. A large staff of student reporters has aided a great deal in sup- porting and making the publication of the paper bi-monthly a possibility. P ■4 1 fc. Began my last year as a student Master of the Mace and Mitre. P Tup Row— Hai i-is, Hasting, Hauk. Milan . Dodge, J. Cass Cassidy, Schm tz (Quill Master), McGraw Giacomini, Beck The Mace and Mitre. This organization has the distinction of being the oldest on the campus. Started originally as a study club by Father Kelly, a past president of Regis, it was later reorganized as a club of Catholic action and Catholic leadership by Father Morrison. It was felt that the classroom, while it aids greatly, cannot of itself instill in sufficient measure that great love and appreciation of the Catholic faith that is essential for a Catholic leader. This society is an attempt to supply this deficiency. Its membership is limited to twelve. Each year new men are elected to member- ship in the society in order to take the place of those graduating. The qualifications for membership are interest, ability, scholarship, and congeniality. Membership is limited to upper classmen. The only social functions that the society sponsors are banquets at which the ritual of recognition is held for the benefit of the new members. Usually a promi- nent Catholic layman addresses the Masters of the Mace and Mitre on this occasion. Weekly meetings are held in the Mace and Mitre room of Carroll Hall. Each meeting is given over to one of the Masters, who renders a paper on some subject intended to further the ideals of the society. The members are asked to make a visit to the Blessed Sacrament every day, and on the Feast of Christ the King, all the graduate and under-graduate Masters re- ceive Communion in a body.

The orchestra is one of the most lively and actively functioning organizations on the Regis campus. Under the very ahle direction of Father Dimi- chino, several dances and numerous other opportunities of presenting occasional entertainments have evidenced the success of its activity calendar, and made its past year outstanding. Two dance-socials (and incidentally snowfests! I were staged by the orchestra itself, and another was held under the auspices of the Parent ' s Asso- ciation. Enough money was netted thereby to purchase a beautiful new tuba, greatly enhancing the formal appearance of the orchestra. Its personnel includes members of both the College and the High School, and it can boast of a goodly number of finished musicians within its circle. infection. In one of the most spirited student elections in Regis history, John Harris, junior class president, was swept into the office of student president in a Wefus landslide. Mr. Harris ' opponent was the independent candidate, Joe Murphy, who by reason of a pe- tition of two-thirds of the student body was placed on the ticket. John, making no campaign pledges and no speeches, stood on his seven-year record at Regis in high school and college. In his long association with Regis, Harris has become well acquainted with her traditions and needs, and will serve the student body failhfulh and well during the next scholastic term. (1 4 i - ?

Ryan, enjoyed a very successful year scholastically as well as socially. The social calendar of Regis had for its real eye-opener in September, the traditional Delta Sigma Ball. Our business school was very fortunate this year in having Mr. Young and Mr. Paul on our teaching staff. During the scholastic year our future executives were favored with many splendid talks by leaders of business in the city. Mr. Louis Hart, a four-year supporter of Commerce traditions on the campus, is the club ' s capable president. He typifies the ideal business man in that he has many other interests, which include dramatics, music, athletics, and society. Mr. Paul Schmitz. our secretary and treasurer, has always been a staunch sup- porter of Delta Sigma ideals and standards. Mr. John Baker, chairman of the Board, characterizes the real pep, enthusiasm and leadership which is so vital in a society of this type. } O 4 1 3 } - Top Row— Reinert, P. Sanchez, L. Anderson. M.

This, the first year of its organization, presages a future as one of the most successful campus institutions for the Pre-Medical Cluh. Organized in the early months of the first semester, it has for its purpose the stimu- lation of interest in medical and scientific subjects. All the pre-medical students at Regis were invited to join the club. The club holds bi-monthly meetings, one of which is given over to the students themselves, who prepare papers on various interesting subjects allied with the medical profession, and an open discussion follows the deliverance of the student talks. At the second meeting a prominent doctor, usually outstanding in his field, gives a talk. This year the club was fortunate enough to have Drs. Prinzing, Howard, Gustavson, and Currigan speak to them. Father Mahoney, head of the department of Biology and professor of Chemistry, is the sponsor of the club, and most of its success and prestige is due to his efforts and willing self-sacrifice. :{ 1 4 ..- Vj.ll.em.iSXiry Iutb. The club is an honorary organization composed of students in the Chemistry department under the very amiable supervision of Father Morgan. Its activities have been restricted to the discussion of general and technical topics in chemistry and the related sciences, in which manner the club stimulates interest in chemistry independently of the classroom and the laboratory. The organ- ization is in the sixth year of its existence, and it is hoped that in the near future it Avill be affiliated with the American Chemical Society. Throughout the year lectures were given by men prominent in chemical and metallurgical engineering. The re- mainder of the meetings were conducted by the students in the form of seminars. b is£31 4 IS jr«- ■ b 9ffi or Opening round of the basket-ball tourney. Won our first game.

In addition to the intra-mural tourney, the College sponsored a varsity quintet which competed against major independent and various city league teams. Positions on the club were open for competition and through the means of the intra-mural tournament a squad was selected. The Rangers, under the supervision of Bill Walsh, director of Athletics, won 31 of the 33 games they played. They de- feated a goodly number of the better teams in the city, as well as leading suburban quintets. Frank Sullivan was elected captain. He, along with Benny Baker, Hack Wilson, Larry Phalin, Swede Verdieck, Charley Byrne, Gene Latta, Harold Redmond, Andy Hauk, Lefty Domenico. John Reinert. and Carper, showed rare talent and finesse.

Back for the second step in their college careers, the sophomores were determined to accomplish even more than during the previous year as freshmen. Starting in September and continuing throughout the whole school year, the class played an integral part in all school activities. The first important function which came under the banner of the class was the annual Field Day. on Wednesday, November 22, at which the sophomores were hosts to the freshmen. Since the honor and prestige of both classes rested on the outcome of the day ' s contests, both groups were very earnest, to say the least, in upholding their respective class standards. The sophomores emerged at least morally victorious from the festivities after a very hard struggle, and continued to command the respect of the first-year men. Then came the leading social event of the first semester, the annual Sophomore Dance. Taking place on Tuesday, November 28, in the beautiful Casanova Ballroom of the Brown Palace Hotel, and given under the auspices of the sophomore class, this gala affair proved to be one of the most enjoyable and successful dances of the whole year. In both the elocution and oratorical contests, the sophomore contestants rendered very creditable accounts of themselves. The success enjoyed by both the dramatic society and the athletic teams can be attributed in a large degree to the support given to them by members of the sophomore class. In summing up the part played by the sophomores during the year, it can be safely said that they did try to live up to their early resolutions, and if they failed to accomplish their purpose fully, it cannot be said to have been the result of a lack of endeavor. P J O •4 1 7 ••■ nn b Sophomores fail to shoiv Frosh their proper place. field JLIay. As a result of the first annual Frosh Field Day, sponsored by the Student Council, the freshmen were allowed to discard their dinkies on November 22, after the youngsters had been declared victorious by the president of the student body. Incidentally, the sophomores claim to have won two out of the three events and maintain that it was onl) the president ' s compassion towards the poor ' frosh that allowed them to discard their wretched head wear. At three o ' clock on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 22, the Field Day was in- augurated w ith an egg-throwing contest between the sophomores and freshmen. The power- ful second-year team came out of the contest victorious. The combination of Cassidy and McNichols proved too much for the frosh. with Egg Crusher Payne doing his utmost to maintain victory for his class. The next event was a peanut-roll staged by ten freshmen. It was a nose to nose contest from the beginning, with such important schnozzles from the freshman class as Caughman, McGarry, Bauer, and Kittleson competing. jack Gael Cassidy was responsible for the third wrangle of the afternoon. It turned out to be a tie-up between the first and second-year men. The object of the affair was for one team to try and carry the other team across the goal. No holds were barred and every- thing was legal except visible slugging, and there was plenty of that. This event turned out to be the high spot of the afternoon for the spectators and the sore spot of the afternoon for the contestants. After what seemed hours, the brawl was stopped; there being four sopho- mores left in the contest, which number included such stalwarts as Los Angeles O ' Hern, Doc Essay, Jack Longmont Murphy, and the leader of the sophomore class, 3.2 Walsh. Next came the three-legged race between the two classes. This was a let-down after the ' tie- up. with the frosh victorious. The final dispute of the afternoon was the tug- o- war. Twenty husky members of the sophomore class pulled against a stronger team comprised of the same number from the freshman class. Water from a fire hose was the dividing point between the two teams. Just as the frosh were pulling the sophs into the water the upperclassmen joined the fray, where- upon the hydrophobic frosh let go of the rope. In the evening a smoker was given by the Student Council. A large crowd consisting of friends of Regis and students witnessed and enjoyed the entertainment. As a result of the efforts of some of the Student Council members, Jim Joyce, a local matchmaker, presented the boxing card. The headliners included Buddy Jackson and Treveno Orlando, state cham- pions of the bantam and featherweight classss. It was a great day for the fighting lowerclassmen. who demonstrated to the student bnd that the freshman class of this year as well as the second-year men. are endowed with ihe true Ranger spirit. It is expected that this event will be made an annual affair, and it is hoped that next year ' s competition will be as successful and vigorous as that of this year. Tennis Tourney., The annual [ntra-mural Tennis Tourne) was conducted this year on the elimination plan. A tennis club was organized to facilitate the care of courts and the administration of equipment, and only members of this club were permitted to enter into the tournament. This precluded any possibility of conflict a- In playing lime during the tourney. The games were played off with but a single default. The Tennis Club, acting as an adjunct of the department of physical education, offered excellent opportunities for those interested in tennis In engage in their favorite sport, for all difficulties in regard to court conditions and equipment were thus satisfactorily solved. P -4 i8fe- Frosh take their proper place. Still hilarious over their surprise victory. P Freshman GlaSS. Last fall a motley crew of unpretentious freshmen em- barked upon an arduous life of college routine, upperclassman oppression, Kangaroo Courts, strange professors with stranger ideas and the danger of acquiring an in- feriority complex by a justifiable Leporian sentence. But. surprisingly, they could take it and rapidly made themselves familiar with things usually looked upon with awe and reverence by embryonic collegians, and alas, became students, actors, athletes, orators and elocutionists and what not. They swarmed into and took possession of the Dramatic Club, four out of eight parts in the tournament, and four parts in Journey ' s End — the orchestra, basketball team, baseball club, tennis club, Brown and Gold, and positions as class leaders. As proof of the last usurpation the frosh maintain that twenty-eight members or 46% of the class had an average of eighty- five or above (second honors or over). A freshman, John Reinert. won the elocution medal, competing against three freshmen and two upperclassmen. A freshman even tried to emulate Daniel Webster, and in so doing almost won the oratorical contest. Not content with moral victories, the class of ' 37 publicly announced its prowess by officially winning ( notwithstanding Jack Murphy ' s libelous opinions ) the Fresh- man-Sophomore Field Day. Much credit and sympathy for this victory with its laurel and stickers must be given to McGarry. Dunn, Lane, Cassidy. Byrne, Reinert, and all the rest. We don ' t pretend to be seasoned sailors yet, but we only ask for time. We caught the knack of rolling with the waves, spinning a yarn (Room 325), and softening callouses. In a year or so we hope to be able to quit rolling, spinning, and softening and become staid, stately, scholastic simpletons; we meant sophomores.

The club, organized in September of 1932 by Father Masse, head of the English department, is composed of a selected group of Regis men interested in literature and with the ambition to become familiar with the vast store- house of Catholic literature, so as to better understand the problems and expectations of a cultured Catholic leader. The Coffee Drinkers meet bi-monthly, every second Saturday, at the home of one of the scribblers, where some important literary phase or personage is discussed. The benefits derived from the club by the embryonic Sam Johnsons from both the viewpoint of closer contact with the masters, and from the valuable experience and knowledge attained by the frank and constructive criticism of their own endeavors, are best shown in the high calibre of their efforts in the Literary Supplement of the Brown and Gold. The members of the Coffee Club were the foremost contributors to this organ of Regis literary aspirations, and from the tenor and quality of their contributions they have profited abundantly from Father Masse ' s interest in ambitious Regis Collegian litterateurs. Mr. Kranz was dictator of the club this past year and acquitted himself as mar- velously in his own circle as Sam Johnson did in his own coffee circle. Father Masse, sponsor of the club and a prominent Catholic litterateur, has done much for both the students in the club and for American Catholicism in general by encouraging the organization.

The Wefus. the peppiest, noisiest and most school-spirited or- ganization on the campus, made its brilliant hut perhaps ungraceful debut this year. Though first misunderstood in its purpose and actions, the club, through its manifold activities and remarkable successes, has at last gained the favor of the student body. It has, moreover, been officially sanctioned and recognized. The Wefus Club has. by means of its undefeated, world-challenging softball team, raised that sport to its present popular standing on the campus. The Wefus. aided by the noble and self- sacrificing Frank Sullivan, swept their student presidential candidate, Johnny Harris, into that office. It is an organization of the cream of the crop, with plenty of fight, love for a battle, and admiration of courage; with a heart that belongs to Regis, and a spirit reminiscent of that of the old Rangers. The members of the club are amongst the leaders in every field of Regis activity. Wefuses of the first order are: Bus Lepore. Tess Weber, Steve McNichols, Marco Hog-hair Dunn, Peg-leg the Moaner Hauk, and Bird Hasting. The other Wefuses who comprise this illustrious group are: Paul Schmitz, Jack Meehan. President Harris, and Chink-food Rice. These men have resolved to awaken the latent love of school in every Regis man, and to start a revivification of that traditional Regis Ranger spirit.

With spring comes the call of the birds (mocking, cuckoo, hum- ming, etc.), the call of the wild, the call of the streams, the calls of fever (spring. hay, love) and the call of the bat. This year when co-coaches Wilson and Chilero called for ball-players, four veterans and eight hopefuls answered the shout. The reasons why there were not more out for the team were the inconveniences of labor- atory, or something else. But what they lacked in numbers they made up in pep. All went well in spring practice, but with the opening of the season proper, misfor- tune camped on the bags. Old Man Tough Luck tapped four of the Rangers for his fraternity, two of them quite lustily. Georgia 1 Sutherland broke a finger, but was immediately outdone by Lammerman who broke his arm. Both Harris and Reinert severely sprained their ankles, Johnny doing the better job. But when the Rangers really began to play ball, they meant it. They have only lost two games, both of them heart-breakers. They vanquished Cathedral in their first game, 13 to 3. Their next game with North High, ended in a 2-2 tie. the game being called because of a severe dust-storm. The next two encounters were unfor- tunate for the collegians as they dropped them to the Barr Lumber Co. and to Welby. Colorado. They began their conquests anew with a defeat of the St. Dominic ' s Club of the Holy Name League in a last-inning thriller. Since then, they have not lost a game. The scores of the other contests were: Regis 5. Regis High 3; Regis 13, Holy Family 3; Regis 12. Regis High 3; Regis 12, Parochial All-Stars 8; Regis 14, Barnum Boosters 9; Regis 13, Welby 2.

P Literary Congress. of the Rocky Mountain Re and 26. This Congress was the first movement of its kind to take place in the United States, and probably shall in years to come, mark the beginning of the Catholic Literary Renaissance in this country in much the same way that the publication of the Lyrical Ballades is considered to be the beginning of the English Romantic Re- vival. The congress had for its purpose the publicizing of the Catholic Revival in belles lettres. For an avowed end it had the transformation of a skeptical American audi- ence inlo a convinced gathering of enthusiastic American Catholics. It sought to acquaint the people of the region which Regis may be said to serve, with the facts of the new movement into the Church of the leaders in literary fields. For this purpose Mr. Benjamin Masse, S.j., acting head of the English depart- ment at Regis, secured speakers whose situation made them preeminently fitted to discuss this new Romish phenomenon. There were Fathers Gerald Ellard, S.J. of St. Louis University, and Daniel Lord, S.J., editor of the Queen s Work. The Monsignors William O ' Ryan, Denver ' s clerical dean of litterateurs, and Matthew Smith, editor of the Catholic Register, America ' s foremost Catholic paper, spoke during the ses- sions. Mr. Calvert Alexander, S.J., author of the first book on the Catholic Revival, directed one meeting as did Miss Josephine Gratiaa of the St. Louis Public Library. Another session was conducted by Francis Sheed. publisher, translator, and author from the house of Sheed Ward. The sessions were held at Denver ' s distinguished Brown Palace Hotel and at their close all America had been startled into the recognition of a torch of faith and culture burning brighth in the shadow of the mountains. May Crowning. The sodality activities for the scholastic year of ' 34 were climaxed with the beautiful ceremony of Crowning the Queen of the May. On May 20, the Regis College Sodality acted as hosts to the Denver Sodality Union on the Regis campus for this annual demonstration of Catholic student love for Mary. Miss Margaret McKee of St. Joseph ' s High School was the queen for the occasion and was escorted by George Finan of Annunciation High School. Messrs. Walter Angerer, Niels Beck, Nicholas Jinacio and Vincent Giacomini represented Regis College as Knights of Mary in the ceremonies. Every school affili- ated with the Sodality Union was represented by Knights and Ladies in the retinue of the queen. The student bodies of the colleges, schools of nursing, and high schools, marched in procession to the scene of the crowning. The Very Rev. J. A. Herbers, S.J., president of Regis College delivered the panegyric of the afternoon. John McGraw, Regis senior, gave the student response. The poem read for the occasion, The May Crown of Mary, was written by Dorothy Caughlin of Annunciation High School. These beautiful ceremonies were concluded with solemn benediction. Rev. Mark Lappen was celebrant. Rev. Michael Harrington, deacon; Rev. Herman Leite, sub- deacon, and master of ceremonies, Rev. Stephen Kruger. The music was under the direction of Rev. Andrew S. Dimichino, S.J. Richard McNamara was general chairman of the program, with Frank Sullivan. Felix Lepore. Milan Predovich. and Robert Close as his assistants. --4 2 3 i Prep Parade. Gee!

The Annual Regis Prep Parade was to be given in the Cocoa- nut Grove of the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles. Music was to be alternately furnished by Guy Lombardo ' s orchestra and the United States Marine Band. However, due to a typo- graphical error, the affair beca me known as the Milk Fund Ball. Naturally this gave rise to some confusion, such as the Regis Student Council getting their mail mixed up, and milk coming in Brown and Gold bottles. Therefore, in order to straighten out matters at great personal expense and violent effort, that sterling patriot, that gentleman, that scholar, Frank Sullivan, presented another Prep Parade in the Regis Gym on the night of Friday, April the 20th. The second Prep Parade was a marked success. There were 7.000 people present, all of whom simultaneously decided to dance the Tiger Rag. Thirteen paying guests were also noticed in the crowd (pals of Mr. Sullivan!. During intermission an Easter egg hunt was conducted on the premises. Valuable prizes were donated by the Regis livestock depart- ment. The school of animal husbandry personally donated yearling geese to all lucky prep- sters. Alexander, the rooster with the red fan on his head, is quoted as saying, The eve- ning was truly a delightful success. Never in all my years of entertainment at Regis Col- lege have I been host to a more lovely group.

The past school year was the most fruitful for this organization, whose synonomous attribute since its inception has been a success. Beginning its scholastic theatrical season in collaboration with Loretto Heights College, three plays were produced under the direction of Father Reichle and Mrs. Wauchtal. In the first of the series, The Old Order, John Murphy, Regis sophomore, made his initial appearance in Regis dramatics and performed in a manner that speaks well for his future. Mr. Louis Hart, senior and president of the Dramatic Club, played the romantic lead in the second of these plays, Grandma Pulls the String. Three Regis artists had parts in the final production, The Monkey ' s Paw, a delightful drama in which Mr. Frank Sullivan played masterfully the old soldier. Richard Foley, also a newcomer in Regis dramatics, portrayed the son in the play, and Vincent Dwyer, as finished an actur as will be found in college circles, posed as the father. For the fourth successive year Regis emerged victor in the college division of the State Little Theatre contest, and as a consequence gained permanent possession of the beautiful plaque awarded by the committee. A Night In an Inn by Lord Dunsany, directed by Very Reverend Father Herbers, won the contest. The leading roles were taken by Louis Hart, Vin- cent Dwyer, and John Reinert. Messrs. Henry. Horrigan. Hastings and Kittleson rounded out a selected and polished cast. The climax of this highly successful year came with the staging of the famous war drama, Journey ' s End, on May 11, in the Regis Little Theatre. The hand-picked cast and superb direction of Father Reichle gave Denver theatregoers the treat of their lives in their practically professional artistry. Followers of the legitimate stage iti Denver will wait long and hopefully before witnessing a performance equal in all respects to this one. -ngf 2 5 ft. - r Lakewood, Vic Schilling, the girl friend, music, my last Prom.

A record which future classes will have to strive hard to maintain. There lias not been a single activity in the college in which the Junior Class did not have more than its quota of representatives. Members of this class with Loyalty as their motto have supported every move in which the college has been interested. Mr. A. Andrew Hauk placed first in the Oratorical Contest with Mr. J. Emmett Harrington, another member of the class, as a close second. Dramatics, forensic competition, scholastic contests all felt the presence of the members of this very active class. A member of the class, the editor-in-chief of the Brown and Gold. Mr. Vincent Giacomini, led the school with the highest average in the first semester. The Junior Class as a whole had the highest average at the end of the third quarter. The Mace and Mitre with three juniors, and the Coffee Club with as many, attest to the well- balanced education these young men have been receiving. Mr. Martin Hastings, be- cause of his interest in literary activities, was chosen to edit the yearbook. In athletics, both intramural and other competition, the juniors have been most outstanding. They have ably represented their college in tennis, baseball, indoor, basketball, track, swimming, calisthenics, boxing, wrestling, and fencing. They capped a year of social activity by the presentation of the greatest social event of the year, the traditional Junior Prom, held in the exclusive Lakewood Country Club.

(Senior C lass. Pansies are for thoughts, and shouldn ' t seniors have thoughts? So pansies to the seniors whose four-year residence within these hallowed walls, within these whittled desks, upon this tree-fringed campus, upon the boarders ' beds, is fast drawing to a close. Drawing is hardly the word though. Crashing might do, or stumbling, or even better yet, lurching. So take a deep breath, lads, and let ' s see what we ' ve done in the time since (memory goes no farther back) we stumbled in from the country, they put a green cap on our heads, and we elected for the first time Beck, our perennial president. Ah! those were the days! What a nostalgic thrill to look ' way back there and remember the happy lads who dropped out on the way. Who dry-eyed can recall Boots, the college canine who ma- triculated with us and persevered through three years only to become discouraged in his senior year by the unfair competition of the other college men for the three lunches which some sillies bring out to the campus. There seems to be no authentic report concerning Boot ' s whereabouts, though a rumor persists that he has gone to the dogs. What man is there with soul so dead that he recalls not sadly that freshman year: Sanguinetti ' s whiskers, touchball with Father Kenoy, the time Musso was snoring and some- body threw some chalk into him; the first time downtown, the Denver, Jean Harlow and ' Hell ' s Angels, the first blind date, the realization Elsie Pretzelhaam who sat next to you in high school is the only girl in the world; six letters from home the same day, telling you Elsie has married a soup-taster and has gone to Tasmania to live; the joint — which- ever one of the thirty-seven it was that gave you credit — the freshman dance if anyone can remember that night, Pete, Pete happy, Pete sad, Pete playing poker, Pete making a noise like a punctured tire, Pete sneaking people up to hear his dad snore, Pete offended and going home, you offended and Pete refusing to go home for love nor money — Pete. Ah, those were the days!

Walter, scion of the house of Angerer, roundeth out in this current year a college career of much- to-be-admired scholastic triumphs. At all times in the upper fifth of his class, he has consistently maintained a high aver- age despite outside activities. The May Crowning has for three years been in his charge. He has been the pianist in the Regis Orchestra. In his junior and senior years he was Assistant Prefect of the Sodality. As a member of the Student Council he has been in charge of collections this past year, which onerous position he filled both wisely and well. Somehow I think he 11 be a teacher later on, and a good one. too, teaching mathematics with that same zeal with which he studied while hammering out his own math BAKER. His name is really John, though I dare say you all thought it was Benjamin, since he has been Benny Baker ever since he first stepped in from St. Pat ' s High School in Pueblo. No man has ever attended Regis College who more nearly epitomized the Regis boarder than this same Benny. As long as we can remember, as Benny went, so went Car- roll Hall. He has played basketball for four years at Regis and intramural football the only year that this strange hybrid was allowed on the campus. In athletics Benny was always good for at least one good drive per game. There were only about ten games of basketball in the last two years that didn ' t begin with Benny ' s two-point bucket. He is a member of the Student Council, where he severely watches everything with his accountant ' s eye. Accounting is his major, and severely watching his minor. 4 2$ h 3 o BECK. Niels has one of the finest records at Regis Col- lege that anyone has gathered in my time. He played varsity football in his freshman year and intra-mural foot- ball while a sophomore. He has been four times class president. Sodality prefect in his senior year and vice- president of the Student Council, he nevertheless managed to incubate the germ of a year book until we have the present mature product. Mace and Mitre chose him in his sophomore year, and he concluded his eighth semester in the Student Council upon graduation. It is estimated that if all his blue slips were laid end to end they ' d stretch from the dean ' s office to Blarney Castle and back again by way of his girl ' s house. His major is chemistry, his vocation, surgery, for which he has trained by cutting classes, and his recreation, sleep. O O CASSIDY. Jack wandered away from the fold for two years after a four-year high school residence at Regis. But habits are hard to change, and after his frosh-soph fling at St. Mary ' s, he returned to Regis. He is a member of the Mace and Mitre and of the Student Council. Notoriety is his because of an ill-behaved dog, and fame because of his Canadian North Woods solution to the problem of war. According to many he is said to be the most unromantic man seen here or hereabouts for many a moon. His favor- ite recreation is confounding his Jewish friends with his knowledge of Deuteronomy ; and his aversion is double deck sandwiches. His thesis is one of those scholarly ifs of history, and his theme song Well, why do they advertise them as double deck sandwiches? 4 29 )gH. CHIOLERO. Fritz is an old man who really believed that two could live as cheaply as one. and made an act of faith. He is in the Student Council from the senior class, though he may also be said to represent the athletic council, since he manages the college baseball team from second base. He was secretary of the Dramatic Club in his junior year. He has majored in economics and closes his college career with the very best chances of success in whatever business he has seleted. CLOSE. Bob Close will follow his brother from Regis with a record as fine as any that this year ' s class can pro- duce. His field was chemistry, and so well did he become associated with the laboratory that next year will find the basement of the administration building strangely bare with- out the only man in the world who knows where chemical supplies are kept. He has been chief student assistant in chemistry for two years now. A charier member of the Cheni Club he has been president and vice-president of t hat organization. He was the second president of the League of the Sacred Heart, and director of the Mission Unit for four years. He is a member of the Pre-Med Club, was a dele- gale to the Student Model Conferences on both occasions of Regis ' participation, and was chairman of the Junior Prom Committee. P f .5(1 } . DOMENICO. Lefty, The Haunter, has been a Regis standby for four years. He has so efficiently taken care of left field that left-field hitters strike out on purpose, because they know it ' s just no use. He made his letter in basket- ball during his junior year. And in Softball and touch ball there is no one to come close to him in games played or teams played with. He is a chemist whose thesis on sur- face tension has been nominated for thi s year ' s chemical award. He is a member of the Press Club. This year he personally saw to the collection of Christmas baskets for ihe Indian missions with such good effect as to arouse favor- able comment from everyone. He is a charter member of the Methvlamine Club and the unholy three. P U DUNN. To the United States Army he may be only Second Lieutenant John Dunn, but to Regis he is The Gen- eral. John has probably the most extraordinary record of any college man in the country. He has never been late for or absent from a single class in Regis High School or Regis College. First in war, first in peace, and first in the desk of his classroom. He was so prompt that the original college band decided to let him mark time for them in par- ades and he became the first, and best, and last, and one and only drum major the college ever had. Though his major is philosophy, he teaches history and chemistry in the high school and plans to study medicine in the some time yet to be. Besides being commander of machine gun company H of the Reserve Army, he is likewise a member of the News Safe Drivers Club (the only one on the campus) and secre- tary of the Regis Mission Unit. 4 3 1 fr. DWYER. Vince has been at Regis four years and they were every one full of the activities which made him one of the busiest men on the campus. Associate editor of the Brown and Gold in the junior year, he edited the college paper with only an occasional help from his reporting staff during the while he was senior. He was a member for two ye ars of the Regis Coffee Club, president of the Press Club, member of the Student Council, member of the Mace and Mitre and the Vittorianum. He placed in the Intercollegiate English Contest, took the lead in the tournament play and gave outstanding performances in both the Fall Plays and in Journey ' s End. He made his letter in basketball in his junior year and played short-stop with a senior soft- ball team. In spare moments he majored in English and wrote a thesis on the satire of G. K. Chesterton. Finis. P FINN. At one stage of his life this, our John, deemed it a pleasure and a privilege to enroll at the Colorado School of Mines, but later in the evening of his turbid youth, the light came to these old eyes and Regis-ward he came home to spend his declining years. The quizzical look in his eyes is due to years spent peering into log books and using slide rules. He is a math major, neatly wrapped, stamped and ready for mailing, and can be secured at none of the better class newstands. John had a more than exceptional athletic career at Regis. He managed the first intra-mural basket- ball championship club, besides playing guard on the var- sity. He took care of third base for two years with the galloping Rangers and for a while, until an injury removed him, lie was a sensational half-back on the Regis Wolves. Rarest of all, is his having already tracked down one of those jobs which have consistently eluded the rest of us, and if you boys happen to be down Pueblo way — just drop in. 0( 4 3 2 } - Do w HART. Louis was voted, in a secret ballot, the most handsome man in this year ' s senior class, though there is a persistent rumor to the effect that many of the ballots in- cluded not only this year ' s class but all the other senior classes as well. Be that as it may, he is secretary of the Student Council, president of the Delta Sigma and the Dramatic Club. His chief outside activities have been on the stage. He had the lead in the 1933 Regis-Loretto Play, and had a prominent place in both the tournament play ( which won Regis the Little Theater Plaque ) and the Jour- ney ' s End. He has curly hair, a car. a little brother, blue eyes, a gift of gab and a major in economics. HUELSMAN. Leo, Fatso, the Ladies Man, Huelsman is the stabilizing influence that preserves order on and about the third floor of Carroll. And anyone who doesn ' t think that is quite a job just hasn ' t been on the third floor of Carroll for some time. Leo is from Colorado Springs and is bound for the St. Louis University School of Medicine after he has topped off his scholarly years at Regis with an excellent and scientific chemical treatise on ' Opiates. ' It is easy to see why this man, living in the wilds, chose such a subject. If only, I daresay he has mused I could inject something into them to shut them up. He was one f the corner stones of both the Chem Club and the Pre-Med Club. And this last year served on the Prep Parade Committee. •4 3 !§►.- p JINACIO. Nick, The Dynamiter, has blasted more stupid, silly notions out of the collegiate mind than has any other worthy of our day. And now he is about ready to crank his Ford for the final run and scoot out the gate the last time as an undergraduate. When he does that, Regis will lose a fine student, a hard worker, a loyal friend, and a man who was never afraid to oppose, out loud, what he honestly believed to be contrary to the school ' s best interest. We send with you, Nick, our best wishes when you leave with your major in math, and your gang in the back of your Ford. KILKER. Jim is one of our commuters, our farthest re- moved, now resident student. He and his brother and their car have made class, fair weather or foul, all the way from Brighton, every day for four years. He is another chemist whose particular field is analysis. His thesis is on oils and his hobby is sugar. He is the Regis boxer par excellence who put a team into the News-Elks Tourney, when he was a soph. His pet aversion is collecting dues and his hobby ducking all such jobs. He has a job with the Great Western Sugar Companx after graduation and by this, stands out and awa from the rest of the thundering herd who will be graduated in June. P f 34 j . b LAMMERMAN. Herr Lammerman has produced ' in all fields of activity, social, scholastic and athletic. His thesis is on Einstein and non-Euclidian geometry and such a bit of work is rather an afternoons occupation for any man. He has played football, basketball, and baseball and has gathered a good number of Regis Monograms. Last year he organized a volleyball team that successfully ward- ed off all comers in the twenty-seven games played. He broke his arm this year and so intra-mural softball lost its star pitcher. In the strange game of touch-ball, his loose hips and long legs were always good for a touchdown or two. He was a member of the Vittorianum, vice-president of the Chem Club, Press Club and one of the Unholy Three. MC GRAW. John is one of those country slickers who are such a menace to us simple city boys. You name your game and ' third floor Mac will teach you some tricks to go with it. He is an original Mace and Mitre man, having withdrawn from school for a year or two back there when. He is one of the scattered football men, those knights dis- persed, of another day. From time to time he has worked with the Brown and Gold, the Dramatic Club, and the Chemistry Club. This year he organized a Pre-Medic Club and imported men to speak at each meeting. He is a chem- ist by major, a Ranger by profession, a doctor by ambition, and a gentleman of polish by my word of honor. -1J5 Hgf 3 5 fcn- MUSSER. Pete was the artist of the senior class, whose facile pen and brush produced heaven knows how many posters to advertise every dance that has been given since he matriculated. He has been pressed into service for every play and at least one of his sets that was produced in the Little Theatre Tournament of 1933 was in no small way in- strumental in the selection of Regis as the prize play of the college group. He was vice-president of the Press Club one year and a member of that strange group the Coffee Club. Pete majored in English and his thesis on Byron revealed him to be — just imagine — a romantic at heart despite his feet on the ground policy in everything he has ever done at Regis. RYAN. None knew thee, but to love thee Red. or what- ever the masculine equivalent of love happens to be. With- out effort he made friends. Calmly he kept them. Strong- ly, bravely he ever stood by them. To Regis he came by way of Cathedral Hi. He played softball and in his fresh- man and sophomore years managed the champion team from the hot corner. He was a star end on the touchball learns for lour years and made his letter in basketball in his junior year. He was in charge of the ticket sales for the Regis College Players in their production. Journey s End. His major is economics and he hopes to continue for a Master ' s Degree in the subject. He is one of the first members of the Vittorianum and was a delegate to the Student ' s Conference in 1931. He was freshman editor of the Brown and Gold and a four-year member of the Press Club. 4 3 6 IS %L Ta w a 2_ SCHMITZ. Paul will be missed by nearly every activ- ity on the campus. He has always been outstanding scholas- tically and athletically. He was elected to the Student Council in his sophomore year. He has won the College History Prize on two occasions and was elected to the Mace and Mitre after the minimum one year at Regis. He was made Master of the Quill in that same organization this, his senior year, without a single dissenting vote. The Delta Sigma has seen Paul as one of its most active members for four years. Athletically, he has been equally outstanding. He plays first base for the independent softball team that seems destined to win this year ' s championship and we all remember that intra-mural football game when he stoutly defended his end for a long last quarter out of instinct more than anything else after being kicked in the head during a jolly little tussle. P SULLIVAN. To attempt to evaluate a man of Frank ' s character and ability is a task made hopeless by the paucity of language. A leader in every branch of activity on the campus; an ardent, tireless and peerless worker and an all around good fellow. He was president of the Student Coun- cil his senior year, the first to be elected by popular student vote. He placed in the Intercollegiate English Contest. Sully (no relation to John L. or Kink Sullivan) after a year of conditioning at Notre Dame, quarterbacked the soph team in the intra-mural football league. He played basket- ball for three years, captaining it in his senior year; he led the runner-up baseball club and managed every softball team ( and played on as many ) . He is a Master of the Mace and Mitre, a member of the Chem Club, the Vittorianum, the sodality ( of which he was prefect ) the Mission Unit, the Methylamine Club, the Filthy Five, Unholy Three, and so on and so on. He led his class for three straight years. He found time to take part in every major dramatic enter- prise the college has produced in his term at Regis and lent his valuable assistance to the staff of the yearbook. All in all, Frank is the perfection of Regis culture and Regis spirit, conquering and dominating all in his path, that is, just about all, for he has yet to be on a softball club that can vanquish the Wefus. 3 o m 3 7) , THACKERAY. They called him Tux, but even I don ' t know why, because the name like most such names goes back beyond the history we have at hand. Tux played in intra- mural football back in his sophomore days, quarterbacking the team that firmly planted the frosh caps on the fresh- men ' s heads by a double victory. He has always been some- thing of a chemist and has held an assistant ' s position for two years. His thesis is on chemistry and in that particular- ly delicate field of water analysis. He is a charter member of the Vittorianum and the present Chemistry Club in which organization he has been sergeant-at-arms and secretary- treasurer. His only real vice is the zinc industry, into which he plans to enter after graduation and which he jealously investigates with an ever-seeing eve. WILLIAMS. Smoky Joe shut his ears to the entreaties of all the Pueblo belles and hiked off to Regis four years ago. He became associated in his first year with Father Forslalls laboratory and has ever since been one of our foremost test tube and pestle men, despite an economics major. His thesis is to be — of all things — money. So you can see he is a man of many parts. He played softball for three years, holding down center field for the champion boarder team of 1933. In his freshman year he was goalie on the Regis soccer team, and in his sophomore year they elected him vice-president of the Catholic Literature Club. After graduation he expects to go into a bonding house in Pueblo. We wish you well, Joe. «f 38 ... : o W o WILSON. Hack, the Wilson, is this year ' s most efficient athlete. For four years he has thrown them past college and semi-pro batters in this region. On the back court he was always worth points to the Regis basketball teams and even more valuable as a calm director of offense and de- fense. He played football with the Rangers the last year they were together and with the sophs for intra-mural ball. Hack was a member of the Prep Parade Committee and of the arrangement corps for the Junior Prom. His major is chemistry and his thesis on caffeine is one of the best sub- mitted this year. He is president of the Snappers Club and a member of the Unholy Three. Incidentally he is the coach of the college baseball team. ZAHN. Black Zohmbie Zahn is one of our more indus- trious collegians. Despite the fact that he has worked his way and majored in math, Kenneth, the zealous, has man- aged to take part in several campus organizations. He has been a member of the Press Club for two years and treas- urer of that organization this last year. He has been on the staff of the Brown and Gold for three years and a mem- ber of the Vittorianum for two years. He has been a mem- ber of the technical staff for all Regis plays produced for the last four years. Charter member of the Methylamine Club and three years in the Chemistry Club, Zahn will leave many activities and friends at Regis when he moves off to his chemical job after oraduation. 3 9 ...

The staff of this book has attempted to supply a heart- felt desire of a souvenir of the scholastic year of ' 33 and ' 34. We realize that the final product is not the best yearbook in collegiate circles, both from the standpoint of finesse and volume: but we do believe that it is an expression of Regis collegian spirit; and we sincerely hope that it will be a stepping-stone to the revival of the Ranger. The editorial duties were divided into three sections: literary (general I, business. and art. Martin Hasting, junior, was appointed literary and editor-in-chief of the book. His assistants were: Frank Sullivan, senior: Frank Egan, junior: Arthur Cassidy, sophomore; and Gene Latta. freshman. Latta was appointed sports editor and was ably assisted by Frank Egan and Fred Chilero. The following men greatly aided the editors with their prompt and ready self-sacrifice of time and writing abil- ity: Walter Kranz, Joe Burger, Joe Walsh, Jack Murphy, Forsyth. Paul Schmitz, Louis Hart, Vincent Giacomini, Bob Close, Fred Close, John McGraw, George Dodge, and Jerome Doherty. Richard McNamara gave the editor his valuable services, gleaned from his experiences on the Broun and Gold. Mr. Niels Beck, senior, was managing editor, and with the most able assistance of Joe Murphy, Felix Lepore. and Bob Close made the book a financial success. Too great praise cannot be given to the business staff of the yearbook for their success in securing subscriptions and patronages. Pete Musser, senior, handled all the art work of the book and especial credit is due him for his cooperation. 3f am mist tit P 4 40
