Were he not his labors would seemingly be in vain. While hewing rude cabins in trackless forests, clearing land or slashing trails, there inevitably looms up before him that which some day will result from his efforts, his beginnings. We often wonder if the institution we have today on Interlaken Boulevard resembles to any degree the visions which those pioneer fathers must have had when they founded Seattle College in 1894. We sincerely believe it does and that belief encourages us to hope for better things to come. Seattle College, though still in its embryonic stage, is rapidly progressing. It has experienced encouragement in numbers of students and successful graduates, and it has been helped along by generous patrons. In view of these facts we believe that it is only proper to found or rather re-establish the annual publication that we may each year chronicle the progress of the institution. This, then, is the end in view in publishing this book. We are sincerely grateful to all those who have helped, financially and otherwise, in making this edition possible, and we only hope that we will be able each subsequent year to give to those interested in this school a book of higher quality than the present. If there are any shortcomings or unintentional errors remember that this is only a beginning. Our faults we trust will be written in water and virtues on tablets of stoik The Editor Upper Building THE ECHO The New Site SITUATED on a height directly opposite the University of Washington, with a sheet of calm water between, commanding a sweeping view of two lakes and two mountain ranges and the northeastern portion of Seattle, is the Seattle College of today, the nucleus of the Seattle College of the future. Far removed from the hot, dusty, traffic-burdened center of the city where it once stood, it is placed in an ideal spot which affords ample room for expansion. The development of the present site, which comprises seven acres, was begun by Dr. Schmidt in 1905, when he founded Adelphia College. When his plans failed to materialize, owing to the war times, he was forced to sell. Mr. T. C. McHugh, always a friend of Jesuit education, taking advantage of the situation, purchased the site and buildings and presented them to the Province for the use of Seattle College. When the place was taken over in 1919, it was in a depreciated condition. The buildings had not been used or taken care of for some time and were hidden from view by irregular mounds of dirt, shaggy trees and rotting brush. The renovation and improvement of the buildings was first in order. A thorough cleaning, new systems of sanitation, heating and ventilation and a complete remodeling of the classrooms, was accomplished during the summer months. In 1 920 the grounds were leveled. The blasting and pulling of stumps and large rocks and the incessant noise of a steam shovel disturbed studies for a month or more, but the little trouble caused, was amply repaid by the gratifying results. After cutting down and filling in, an athletic field three hundred and twenty feet by two hundred and thirty feet, replaced the hills, trees and brush. Each succeeding year has seen new improvements to both buildings and grounds. More classrooms have been made, a new chemistry and physics laboratory has been added and all old equipment has been replaced by modern. The main building pictured on the opposite page comprises three stories and a basement. In the basement is a commodious lunch room, the students co-operative store, the ath- 7 Lower Building THE ECHO letic store room, dressing rooms and lockers, the heating plant, the book store, showers and lavatories. On the first floor are six class rooms, the library and reading room and two offices. One class room, the auditorium, gymnasium and Chapel are on the second floor. The third floor contains the new laboratories. the Annual and Palestra editorial rooms and the spacious. well stocked museum. The lower building, used almost entirely by the faculty, contains forty-five rooms. On the second, third and fourth floors are the Fathersâ private rooms, chapel, parlors, library, recreation room. etc. On the first floor are the kitchen, heating plant and dining rooms. Both buildings are well built and meant to last. They are convenient and modern in their appointments and constructed so as to give the maximum of service. Between the two buildings and dividing the campus, runs the Interlaken Boulevard, probably Seattleâs most beautiful drive. The location of the College and the manner in which it is built adds greatly to the beauty of the drive and when anticipated improvements are completed it will be one of the sights worth seeing. Only four of the seven acres are now in use. There is room on the grounds, should the demand warrant it, for two more buildings, several tennis and handball courts and a good sized stadium, all without touching the present athletic field. T he position of the College is ideal for expansion and should it some day rise to greater heights, a new place would not have to be found. The new site has many advantages not afforded in the old place at Broadway and Madison. The surroundings are far more pleasant and far better adapted to the location of a school. The student is not hampered by the distracting sounds of heavy traffic and he finds a cool, shady place to loiter during the recreation periods. The scenery too. unequaled any place in the city, adds to the advantages of the college. The acquisition of this location gave the College the needed momentum to push it forward. It has advanced surprisingly in the last three years and bids fair to go ahead, at a steady pace, for a good many years to come. 9 THE ECHO The Year 1922-23 HE STUDENTS and faculty of Seattle College have continued in the last year the work begun in other times. Many activities were started, and many plans, which before had been impractical, were put into effect. Upon the foundation laid down by the sturdy, self-sacrificing men of other years were built the brilliant achievements of 1922-23. What for them were mere possibilities, on account of their labors today can be called actualities. To begin with there was the resumption of the College course. This was probably the greatest move made during the year. Seventeen members of last yearâs High School class returned to continue their studies in Freshman, and three former members of th'' class of â21, who had been at Gonzaga for a year, came back as Sophomores. With these as a nucleus, the rebuilding of the College course, which had been dropped after many years of success on account of the pressure of circumstances during the World War, was begun. The enrollment at the beginning of the year showed a twenty-seven per cent increase. T his, too, is a sign of progress and should the student body swell in like numbers for the next few years to come, it will not be long before the College can boast as large an enrollment as its sister institutions on the coast. At the first Student Body meeting Leo Burke, the most popular man in the school and a member of the fourth high class was elected president. Along with him Bernard Scholtes, last yearâs Athletic Manager, was unanimously chosen to fill that position for another two semesters. These two men have handled the affairs of the student body in a most capable manner. The second big step toward greater improvement was accomplished early in October. That was the organization of the letter club, a thing hitherto unknown in Seattle College. 10 i THE ECHO Elsewhere in the book will be found an account of this worthy organization and what it has done during the year. Contemporaneous, one might say. with the formation of this club, was the issuance of the first Palestra of the year. True it is that the Palestra was started during the preceding year but it is also true that it was not until this year that the staff had the time and experience to get into full swing. Certainly a great amount of credit goes to those who succeeded in putting out the three numbers which were issued during the spring of 1922, and their praises will be everlastingly sung. The same staff was retained in the fall of 1922 which began the paper, and they were allowed to carry on their work to a successful climax. In this compendium it would be. to say the least, unfair to pass up the athletic teams though they have been given ample space elsewhere. A word, however, would not be out of place. The football squad had by the beginning of December, completed what was in the eyes of the students a very successful season â though to the casual reader it would only seem mediocre. As everyone knows it makes a great deal of difference from which side of the fence one looks. Following football came basketball which proved to be more successful than its predecessor. And with the first glimmer of the spring sun was ushered in baseball, tennis and track, all three of which resulted in victory for the Panthers. In this line also was a precedent set for it was the first time in the annals of the College that a track team represented it in competition with other schools and colleges. But we cannot go on forever prating about athletic accomplishments. Let us look further for successful activities and we need look only to dramatics. Heretofore one or two plays a year was considered a great sufficiency but during this year of advancement nothing short of three would do. so that in the fall âIt Pays To Advertise, â was offered, followed in early spring by âThe Folly of the Cross. and in the summer by âThe Seven Keys to Baldpate. All three plays scored heavily in every respect. Each was a success financially and dramatically and a galaxy of stars rivalling the best stock in the country was uncovered. 11 THE ECHO College Night, too. was very successful. Under the direction of the College classes an entertaining program was furnished and was enjoyed by a capacity audience of students and grads. Before this epitome grows longer we must consider one of the most progressive moves of the year, that of the organizing of the Alumni Association. Further on is a complete account of it. but its worthiness in the order of things cannot be passed over. The formation of the society was a necessary step and can be considered, next to the resumption of the college course, the most opportune move made in the year. We can now pass on to the last part of the year in which things happen with such rapid succession. The publication of the Echo stands out as the most important event. For five yean there had been no annual at the College and the obstacles to be overcome were most disheartening. But with the dogged persistency of the staff and the sincere hope of producing a worthy volume these were surmounted. A generous round of applause is due the Echo Staff and the whole student body for the Echoâs success. Their work, pioneering in a sense, will not be forgotten for it is neither written in water nor sand. The Public Debate and Elocution Contest demand our attention next. Being annual affairs they are looked forward to throughout the whole year and stir up a wholesome interest as they near. Both events were up to the usual high standard this year. The senior debating society stepped forth with the real thing when they inaugurated an annual banquet. And the two debating societies, working together, staged the second dance ever held under the auspices of a college organization, the first having been held by the class of thirteen. Both the banquet and dance drew favorable comment from faculty and interested persons who take time to notice Callege happenings. Not to be slighted is the fact that the students of the College presented the faculty with a much needed automobile. There are doubtless other happenings which we must pass over either because of a failing memory or lack of time and space or for fear of becoming tedious with such a seemingly irrelevant 12 enumeration. Nevertheless it is good to look back over the year in such a manner as this and be able to say that these things were done. For after all what good are they if we cannot contemplate them and see what good has come from them? Certainly, one is forced to say, the College has progressed during this last year. Its alumni, hitherto indifferent, have become interested and their interest has spurred them into action. 'They have seen the progress and are anxious to once more affiliate themselves with their Alma Mater and to help it along. We can only ask that the good God look favorably upon us and allow us to keep the pace we have set for ourselves. However, indications are auspicious and there is no logical reason to fear that there will be a dropping off. Seattle College is continuing to forge ahead, has actually forged ahead and will continue to do so until it has accomplished its purposeâreached its goal.

Extra!ââ The words coming up to William Rochet, sitting in deep thought in the Prosecutorâs office on the fifth floor of the Arctic Building, aroused him from his reverie and caused him to run, without waiting for the elevator, down the five flights of stairs to the street. âGive me a paper.ââ and thrusting a quarter, which he thought to be a nickel, into the newsboyâs palm, he glanced at the headline and then read the complete newspaper account of the mysterious disappearance of John Burns, the Prosecuting Attorney, a âbig gun both in the social and political world. In the criminal world the name stood for the Law and was respected as much by the underworld as the Justice Court, all the judges and all the city blue-coats thrown together. The Evening Telegram carried the following account: PROSECUTING ATTORNEY MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARS Underworld Poe is Sought by Police Department Who Fear That He May Have Been Assassinated or Shanghaied on Eve of Big Trial! âAfter leaving home yesterday afternoon, presumably for the office, John Burns, county Prosecuting Attorney, failed to return, and is being sought this evening by his daughter. Friends and police officials fear that he has met with foul play and at present they are using every means possible to aid in the search for the Attorney. âMr. Burns, a man of irreproachable character and standing in the community, was almost unanimously elected last spring to the countyâs highest legal office. He has gained the admiration and respect of fellow legal luminaries and no trouble is being spared in the hunt for him. His daughter, and only companion since his wifeâs death, is prostrated with grief, and at  ⢠i 16 THE ECHO her lawyerâs advice, has offered a reward of $1000 for any information concerning her fatherâs whereabouts. âA mysterious feature of the case is that one of the biggest trials on the calendar is scheduled for next week, when George Reynolds, declared to be the head of a gang of dope traffickers, will be tried on the serious charge of selling and distributing dope to small children. T he case has attracted great public interest, both on account of the nature of the charge and because it is said that the higher-ups, those who are behind this persistent attempt to demoralize our young ones, will be mortally hit if Reynolds is convicted. If the charges against Reynolds, who some assert to be the head of a million dollar dope trust, are proved, it is possible that capital punishment will be recommended. âUnless John Burns can be found before the trial next Monday a serious crimp will be put in the stateâs case, and with this incentive to spur them on the police are scouring the underworld haunts in an attempt to find a clue to his disappearance.ââ âSo thatâs their game, is it?ââ and Rochet clinched his large hands as he finished reading the newspaper account. âWell, we ll see. and he made his way through the dense crowd that milled and hurried on its way to its noon time lunch. Young Rochet was âBillâ to those who knew well the big curly-headed fellow, who had graduated from the University and made a sensational leap overnight from Junior Consulting Attorney and junior partner to the office of first Deputy Prosecuting Attorney. A hard worker and a rising young man. the older lawyers agreed, but few realized the talent and brilliancy that was hidden behind the laughing but earnest blue eyes of Wililam Rochet. French his ancestors were, and none could best him in âjury pleas, where acting and feeling are so essential. As Rochet had been working with Burns for the last three months and had been occupying himself gathering data and material witnesses for his superior, and since they had often discussed the case the younger man was as familiar with the cir- 17 THE ECHO cumstanccs as the Prosecutor himself. Rochet realized that unless Burns turned up within a few days he himself would have to handle the case, with several picked deputies as helpers. Therefore he began to prepare his brief and jumped into the pre-triai hush of the big lawyer. It was Monday morning; in an hour he would start the preliminary picking of jurymen, and soon he would be presenting his opening arguments. The four days intervening had rushed past like a wildfire on a prairie and in the hurry of preparations the deputy prosecutor had barely taken time to eat. Newspapers had written up the young attorney and on him they had placed the burden of, in their own words, the biggest trial in ten years. For the police had failed: no trace of John Burns could be found. He had disappeared as completely as if the earth had swallowed him up. It was brought home to Bill in rather a disagreeable fashion when friends jokingly asked if he carried a detective about with him?â Beside the touch of fear he felt regarding his personal safety he was going through his first real test; for on his manner of handling this case depended his future. For any young man, but a short time out of the U.â and with less ability than Bill Rochet it would have been foolhardiness and political suicide to attempt to handle such a trial. But for him it was the chance of a lifetime, a golden opportunity, and he did not propose to let it slip through his fingers. The prisoner was brought into the crowded courtroom, a courtroom filled to overflowing with men and women hoping for his condemnation and expecting William Rochet to see to it that he be condemned. George Reynolds was brought in: a thin, sharp-featured individual. Cunning there was in the eyes that flashed at each member of the picked jury, and cruelty in the sharp-pointed nose and thin-slitted mouth. 'The best criminal lawyers in the city were arrayed at the defendantâs desk and Rochet knew that his hands would be full. The battle of wits began. Rochet and his deputy prosecutor, cool and collected, with all the force of state and city 18 THE ECHO behind them, and with scores of reliable witnesses, were on one side, while Hammerstein and Parker, the deans of the cityâs legal talent, were cross-examining with a brilliancy and a sharpness that caused the courtroom to hold its breath. Though the two veterans stabbed the witnesses with shrewd remarks, though they interrogated cuttingly and even insulted them, though they brought forth a caustic wit, a tongue as sharp as a rapier's point, the witnesses for the state were firm and their testimony could not be shaken. One old man brought tears to the eyes of many in the crowded courtroom. In halting, countrified language he told of the defendant visiting his home in the suburbs and insinuating himself into the confidence and home-life of the family. Three months after he abruptly left, the two small girls of the family, rosy-cheeked twins of ten years, were sent home from school as dope fiends. They had been caught selling the white snow to their schoolmates for money to buy more of the soul and body-destroying poison: and when questioned they had accused Reynolds of starting them on their downward path. This piece of evidence was invaluable and counteracted all that the defense had been able to assert. Tears and angry, shocked faces appeared when the Prosecutor showed one of the twins as a proof of the old manâs story. The sight was terrible: a child, as nearly as anyone could guess, of ten or eleven years, with a drawn yellow face and two eyes livid as hot coals, giving the child an appearance of a deathâs-head. The small body was emaciated and quivering. The golden hair, a fitting crown for any beauty, was the sole remaining natural quality, and it was the contrast that brought tears to the jurymenâthat tightened the rope around the prisonerâs neck. The cross-examination was finished: the defendantâs lawyer completed his plea. Rochet rose. The whole courtroom waited with baited breath on his first words. In simple, though forceful language he told the history of Reynolds and of the present case, showing an astonishing knowledge of the events in the criminalâs life leading up to the trial. He told of victims the dope trust had enslaved, picturing young boys who had been ruined and made criminals, girls and women who had been induced to leave virtuous lives, to sell their health, their 19 THE ECHO v honor, their souls, for the white poison. In vivid language the young lawyer, with all the accumulated fire and imagery of his French ancestors, told of the reasons why the backbone of the dope trust should be broken and why Reynolds as the leader should be punished. He compared him with an insidious octopus who had entwined his victims and threatened to drag the whole nation beneath the surface of civilization, down into mire of his existence. In a masterful conclusion he finished: âYou stand there on the witness stand. George Reynolds, pleading Not guilty,â and yet your face belies your words. Not guilty,' you say to the dope selling charges preferred against you: Innocent.â you reiterate, of selling soul and body destroying poison to these children, but your pallid countenance, your hot breath tainted with the character of the devil you serve, your eyesâwindows of your soulâif you still possess a vestige of that noble gift of Godâare dark and satanic and shrunken, and shriek in noiseless but penetrating tones the exact contrary of your lying tongue. âHere is a miserable, shuddering and shattered wreck, a mere handful of nerves, with a system poisoned by cocaine and morphine. Once. O how long ago. this small body, now doomed to die. was a bright, healthy, red-cheeked girl. Ten summers had touched her golden tresses and tinted her laughing face: every day was a new adventure: life stretched out before her in a silver thread, like a path that leads to unknown Edens and fairy-like Paradises. âBut. and here the red grasp and sinister influence of Hell, in the person of this prisoner you see before you, took hold, and this fair child was turned into a more horrid ruin of physical and moral self than we can contemplate. âReynolds, no punishment : no death can satisfy or remedy what you have done, but only that your kind may turn from this nefarious traffic by the example of your punishment, I do ask the Court to hang you by the neck until dead. If my tongue could express my thoughts, your soul would shrink and shrivel under the lashing, and if my eyes could burn and consume you. a drop, if there is that much good in your diabolical make-up. I THE ECHO would be the only remains of that putrid substance that stands before me. âIf there is a God in Heaven, and a justice in this Universe, you. devil incarnate, will suffer for the human devastation you have caused.â Amidst a thunder of applause that threatened the walls of the courtroom and that lasted fully two minutes, Rochet, flushed but happy, sat down knowing that he had succeeded. T he crowd told him in its enthusiasm that his speech had been fit, that it had flowed from his spirit and mouthed his sentiment. As the jury filed out and friends gathered round to congratulate him. Rochet thought he saw a ghost. But it was none other than âOld John Burns, the Prosecuting Attorney, with his clothes awry and much the worse for dirt, but with a smile as big as life lighting his cheerful, ruddy âmap of Ireland.â âSon. you win: pick up the side bets. I got away from that bunch of dope-hound chinks who tried to shanghai me just in time to hear your masterpiece. Let me shake you by the hand; neither these walls nor any other in this city have ever heard any better display of oratory than that which you have just finished. Iâm proud of you. Why hide your light under a bushel, you should be prosecuting attorney. Today I resign in your favor. Iâve got enough salted away to take care of myself and leave Virginia a dowry that would make the Prince of Wales marry her: but Iâve an idea that thereâs a wild Frenchman for whom she cares more than all the Princes in Westminster Abbey and youâve got my blessing.â Bill wrung the hand of his friend, counsellor and evidently father-in-law. 'Fears nearly came to his eyes when he thought over the swift moving events of the day. In two hours the jury returned and announced the verdict âGuilty,â recommending imprisonment for life, and Rochet, mindful of his own happiness, was glad that it was not âPunishmentâDeath.â âBertrand Curran, â26. 21 THE ECHO A Dissertation on Schools SCHOOLS, ah, schools! What a part they have played in the education of the world! Understand me in the beginning that by schools I mean that instrument of learning or torture (as the case may be) that has occupied so important a place and played so great a part in the gradual change from Adamâs Ale to Volstead's Moonshine. Schools are not a modern institution and cannot be destroyed by fire or prayer, as an eight-year-old boy might think, but will rather require the determined, organized and simultaneous efforts of all the minds of every one who has passed from babyhood to manhood under the roof of the said institution. Whether school is beneficial or harmful we cannot say, but we must give it credit for having gained reputation and favor, especially from fond parents of small boys. Making a historical review of schools we find no trace in the earliest days of the traditional schoolroom with its benches and giggling, untaught occupants, even after the Garden of Eden had become a memory. All snapshots that we have with us today of life in that period give no hint of small girls playing hopscotch in school yards, nor of small boys learning future history by means of the birch-rod. From the time of Cain and Abel until the flood, history lapses into obscurity and we are afraid that the little ones had their education somewhat neglected. Still there can hardly be a doubt that the children of the age of the flood felt quite a relief when the heavy rains necessitated a dismissal of what little school they may have had. There is no record of their subsequent feelings. From the Ark reposing on top of Mt. Ararat, we make our way across the Red Sea into Asia, and through Asia we proceed into Chinaâinto the Oriental temples of learning. Two thousand years before Christ, history tells us, science and the fine arts in China were far in advance of the rest of the world. Though we cannot truthfully say that the Chinese were as far advanced as the modern Americans, who receive 22 THE ECHO their Saturday Evening Posts on Thursday, yet they had invented gunpowder and were wont to enjoy the Fourth of July with sundry and numerous explosions of fireworks and skyrockets and Roman candles, even as the boy next door. We can picture a scene here: Timeâthree thousand years before Christ; Charactersâone sagely wise, slant-eyed professor. a score or more of urchins, scholarly-bent, and an Irish, pardon. Chinese policeman. Placeâa street in Kain-Tuck with a sign âSchool: Go Slow. It is three minutes after nine. Some freckled face Chinese lad has hidden the bell. âMay the soul of his great-uncle and his grandfather and his great-grandfather and his great-great-grandfather wither forever under the curse of Sol-Us the Sun-God. Finally to the infinite displeasure of the great majority the summoner is found and class is begun. Now on to the first recitation in history. Professor Ping-Pong: Now will the honorable Cupe-Id, son of the great and joyous counsellor to His Majesty the Kingâs secretary, and son also of the Lady Pink-Te, whose beauty is forever and ever a thing of wonder to those who believe in the wonderful God of Comeliness, humble himself to give to the appreciative world, which is so happily and aptly blessed by his presence upon its ever-changing and vari-colored surface, an historical outline of the reign of Do-Re (may his memory forever be blessed and may light jewels reflect brilliantly from his brow) and the occurrences thereof? At this stage just as little Cupe-Id was about to relieve from his memory the life of the above-said Do-Re the policeman enters and waxes eloquent, and hidden smiles seem ready to burst to the surface of stolid Oriental countenances. After two hours during which the Chinese police department has run down and also run up the family tree of every pupil present, it proceeds to insinuate that trees which were right on the street leading to school and which had been the preceding evening loaded down with apples were considerably lightened during the morning, and would someone confess himself or herself miscreant? None would. Classes resumed, only to hear the five oâclock whistle. 23 THE ECHO Thus another day is gone, and perhaps we can in this way see and understand how slow the Chinese were: and how they needed a few thousand yearsâ start in the race for modernity. From China we make our way to Northern Africa, where on the banks of the picturesque Nile, the Pharaohs and their subjects are experimenting with the infant institution of education. The next step in schools leads us to the ancient empires of Rome and Greeceâabout the time of Our Lordâwhere young men following the philosophy of Aristotle, Plato, Socrates and the rest, walked in the groves in small groups, discussed and argued their teachersâ doctrineâthereby setting the foundations of our modern schools. From the viewpoint of a twentieth century schoolboy, this open air school where students walked about and were not confined to rooms is ideal. We have visions in our mind of Charlemagne. St. Louis and other heroes of past times receiving their education: visions and no more. Today we have schools for every boy and every girl, starting with the kindergarten, where children learn enough to be able, when they come home, to cut cute patterns in mammaâs best linen curtains or artistically paint grotesque and fanciful figures in red. green or white paint on dadâsââ best Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes. And then there are the higher institutions such as colleges and universities, where the ambitious (?) go for one of three reasons: because it is an ideal matrimonial agency: because the rest do it. or because it is easier than working. Beside the above-mentioned institution, this modern nation is burdened with almost innumerable retailers of knowledge. correspondence schools, hairdressing schools, schools of etiquette, and every other kind imaginable, all competing for the patronage of those desiring to be educated. So you see all over the world ever since its beginning the human mind has sought truth and knowledge, even though it has discovered but a part of each. 24 THE ECHO The Phantom de Luxe A GRAY DAY. Large, lifeless raindrops interminably falling from a drab, dun colored sky to the sombre earth below. Sodden leaves whirl and eddy about, driven by hard gusts of wind. Scudding dark clouds totally envelop the sky and the whole picture is rather cheerless and disheartening. 'The awnings on the avenue flapped disconsolately, but they at least served as a temporary shelter for the passer-by. Under one of these, seeking refuge from the general state of aqueousness that prevailed on all sides, stood two boys; each held an umbrella which, from that dayâs usage alone, gave the appearance of having gone through a long and hard seasonâ emerging discouraged, defeated. The boys themselves looked rather the worse for the wear of the elements, their clothes dripping. They might have been anywhere from seventeen to twenty and under ordinary conditions were not hard on the eyes. Standing engaged in desultory conversation, they every now and then noticed the bedraggled passers-by and the never-ending streams of water flowing over the glistening black asphalt of the street. âFine day, isn't it?â Yes, beautiful. But at that I donât mind it for a change, now if it doesnât keep this up.â âCanât you find anything better than the weather to talk about?â Who started it anyway? Youâre not such a brilliant conversationalist yourself.â âAt least I can pick out a more interesting topic than the rain.â For instance-----?â âI saw a ghost last night.â âOh, why not give us one founded on facts?â âNo. this is straight.â âWhatsamatter, one too many synthetic gin rickeys?â âI expected youâd say that. It wasnât a very good comeback.â 25 THE ECHO Say, little boy, you donât think you can interest me with a tall tale like that, do you?â Well, listen to some details, Tom. It was in an old haunted room, the hour was midnight, the ghost moaned and clanked his chains, then disappeared.â âIt certainly wasnât a very original ghost, was it? Now if I were one I'd try to be a little different. Iâd appear either a few hours before midnight, or a few hours after. Iâd talk right out or sing, instead of that everlasting moaning, and Iâd do entirely away with chains. And I suppose the ghost was whiteâ?â Of course.â Well, I expect that wasnât its own fault, it probably couldnât change its color. But just the same I think it would be kind of a relief to seeâoh. a purple one. But after all a ghost is a ghost, that is, if it is a ghost. You don't see them every day, and theyâre hardly ever a bore.â You love the sound of your own voice, don't you?â said Scott. And I gather from the general import of your words that you harbor doubts concerning the truthfulness of my statements.â Why,â inquired l orn, did you figure that out all by yourself, without any outside help? But you canât blame me much, for you know that I know how much you love the truth.â I have told the truth on certain occasions and I admit this is one of them. Now for the last time I mention the fact that last night I saw with my two big eyes aâwell, call it whatever you want, ghost, phantom, spook, spirit, spectre. And now,â continued Scott, with an air of finality, âthis is the last call. Tonight the ghost walks again, and if you think it could hold your interest for a few minutes. I could manage to have you present.â âSince youâre taking it so hard, Iâll have to humor you, and go alongâbut whatâs your idea? You provide the ghost and Iâll provide the attention, but if it doesnât come up to advance noticesââ So youâve decided to come along? You did the deciding. Itâs just out of kindness Iâm going with you.â 26 THE ECHO Scott gazed at himâwith an amused air. âYou said this morning, that everything was so dull, you could hardly keep awake any more. Iâm bringing you with me only to oblige and if you don't behaveâ. I know you think Iâm handing you a pretty crude line, but to prove my words Iâll show you something.â Taking a few steps out from under the awning into the rain he stooped over and picked up a small rectangular white placard. It was soaking wet, but the simple legend it bore was easily discernible. Scott handed it to Tom, who read the words, â Tonight the Ghost Walks. âHe's quite a modern ghost, isn't he? He evidently believes that advertising pays. All right, Scotty, tonight you can lead your little lamb to slaughter. âSure, returned Scott, Til call for you in my car about nine-thirty tonight. But youâve got to promise to keep your eyes shut from the time you get into my bus till we face the ghost. At this Tom laughed. âYouâre not at all melodramatic, are you. But as long as itâs giving you any enjoyment Iâll I ill my part of the bill and be ready when you call. During the remainder of the day the rain continued, though not as ferociously. It had now resolved itself into a steady, unrelenting drizzle, while the wind had increased in strength, whipping viciously the helpless trees, banging shutters and enveloping in torrential blasts the overwhelming surge of people now pouring out of the offices at the end of their dayâs work. As night fell, the streets and houses only took on a mote mournfully drab aspect. Downtown alone shown with a million intriguing lights through the rain washed blackness. Nine-thirty at last came around and brought with it Scott and his car. Tom was busily engaged in a game of Mah Jong with some family friends who had dropped in to visit his parents, when Scott rang the bell of the apartment. Til be ready in about ten minutes.â he informed Scott. âAmuse yourself with whatever you can find.â The ten minutes lengthened into nearly sixty before Tom made his appearance. âPunctual as usual. remarked Scott. 27 âA little waitingâll do you good, returned 'Torn. T hey stepped out into the night. The car gleamed under the street light. The wind howled desolately around the corners of buildings. âJust the night a ghost would like.â said Torn. âIt provides a perfect atmosphere and ought to make him feel at home. Go ahead, bring on your spook, Iâll treat him right. âHurry up.â broke in Scott, âand we ll be off, but first remember what I told you. close the optics. âWhat. almost shouted the other, âyou mean to say you really meant that? âNow for the last time, answered Scott. I repeat what I said. I know you think Iâve been kidding you right along, but you agreed to do what I said. Of course if youâre getting a big thrill out of it, Iâll be an obedient little boy. But when you let your sense of the theatrical run away with you, you get rather tiresome after a while. Well, here goes. He shut his two dark eyes. âThatâs a nice little fellow. cooed Scott, always mind papa. The car plunged forward into the darkness. All Tom heard for the next fifteen minutes was the steady purr of the engine and at irregular intervals the harsh grating of street cars, then again the peculiar silence of the night. T hey had been going in this manner for what seemed to T om an extreme length of time but was in reality only a comparatively short space when he was suddenly brought up with a sharp bang, sounding very close. âWhat's that? he inquired. Keep your lâil eyes shut tight, it isnât anything: two old busses bumped into each other, nobody hurt. Say there, didnât I see you open one eye. Be good or papa spank. admonished Scott. âBoy, but donât you get a lot of enjoyment out of your own line. âWe'll be getting there pretty soon. said Scott, only about five minutes more. The five minutes went by slowly to Tom: by this time Scottâs idea was proving monotonous, sad. 28 THE ECHO At last, however, the car started to slow down and finally came to a dead stop. âThat's it. keep your eyes closed for a while yet. not very much longer now: I'll take your arm and lead you.'' âScott, donât you think itâs the right time to quit this clever stuff? Iâm beginning to get fed up on itâyour bright idea is just about worn out. You must have kind of a perverted sense of humor, it seems to me.â âNow donât get cranky, itâs just a minute more, weâre right there.â Stepping out from the warm car. the blasts of wind brought with them a cutting chill. The eerie whistle of raindrops and the minor moan of the wind was a fitting prelude to the scene which presented itself to Tom when he first opened his eyes. Scott had lead him up what seemed an unending flight of steps, opened a door, closed it after them, brought him forward several feet around a number of turns. âAll right, little one, lift your lashes.â Tom gazed about rather blankly at first, then the objects about him began to take shape. He could discern that he was standing in what seemed a long, narrow hall, one end of which was enclosed in drapes through which he could see a large room. The hall itself and its other termination were inky black: he was able to make out no details. The ceiling loomed high above them but was concealed in gloom. âWell, are we here?â he inquired. âI wouldnât be surprised if we were, but keep quiet and follow me.â They made their way gropingly along the passage until before them through the drapes was the tremendously large room. âHere, you mustnât step out there nor let yourself be seen.â warned Scott. âWe can observe everything that goes on from here.â The room was unusual in more ways than one. First of all, it had only three sides. Where should have been a fourth wall was only immense space totally dark. The room was flooded with a peculiar gray blue light whose source was not visible, seeming to emanate from the enormous beams above. It was furnished with decayed furniture and the curtains and 29 THE ECHO hangings were tattered and yellow with age, and yet the whole scene bore a startling air of unreality. So did the one person who stood in the back of the room, staring pensively out through a grilled window into the ebony night. She was very much blonde, too yellow hair of doubtful authenticity hanging over her shoulders in unnatural waves, intensely black eyebrows and lashes framing light blue eyes, and a vacuous, vapid expression on her chubby face and pouting lips. Her age?â from a distance it was one thing and close up it was another. Making impossible, meaningless gestures with her long arms, her face assumed an expression of horror and altogether she gave the impression of a middle aged moron pirrouetting and posing before some invisible mirror. 1'om clapped his hand to his head and gave a wail of anguish. 'So you took me all the way from my happy home and brought me here to see this? Oh, this is too much!â Wait just a minute,â said Scott soothingly, âthe ghost is due pretty soon. Itâs almost twelve.â Why, it canât be that,â interjected Tom. Itâs only about eleven.â Look at the clock.â said Scott. T hen T om noticed for the first time on the right side of the room a massive clock. And sure enough it registered but three minutes of twelve. Their attention was soon drawn, however, to the unaccountable actions of the blonde. She began pacing back and forth and her walk was not ungraceful, then after casting her eyes into the air she would bow her head dejectedly. Suddenly she stood still, raised her arms and eyebrows and uttered a low, throaty wail. âWhat do you think of her?â inquired Scott. Oh.â answered Tom, T suppose she doesnât know any better, but donât you think she ought to be educated?â Just then they were interrupted by the clockâs announcing the hour of midnight. In clear, solemn tones it struck, oneâ twoâthreeârelentlessly on it went and carried with it somehow a seemingly ominous and foreboding undertone, tenâ elevenâtwelve. With the last stroke the woman gave vent to a high pitched, carsplitting, blood curdling scream: she appeared â 0 totally petrified, though it was evident that she had a pair of strong, healthy lungs and a vocal apparatus in perfect working order. She started low. then crescendoed steadily higher, culminating at length in a worn out little squeak. âThere,â interjected 1'om. âthat wasnât so bad.â Immediately, however, the attention of both was drawn to the opposite side of the room, where the cause of the blondeâs terror was at once apparent. Prom a narrow aperture extended a gruesome skeleton arm and clutched in the clawlike hand gleamed a silver dagger. The woman seemed paralyzed, her jaws worked, her mouth was wide open, but no sound came forth. Bit by bit the ghost emerged from the wall until finally his whole frame was through. He was shrouded in misty white and from his skull-like face, two livid corpse-lidded eyes gazed ghoulishly. He was a phantom de luxe, for he carried long clanking chains, whose grating ate into the very nerves of their hearers. At intervals he emitted dismal moans. âIâd like to see him plant that knife into her throbbing jugular. She deserves it. Nobody should be allowed to pout like she did and live.â By this time the ghost had slowly advanced toward the center of the room. The woman stood rooted to the spot, as if in a hypnotic trance. The ghost stopped, his claw gripped more closely the curved knife which glittered with an ugly light. And from the slimy depths of his eyes smouldering embers seemed to glow. Tom from his vantage post was beginning to yawn. âStanding here doing nothing makes me sleepy.â He gave a rather disinterested glance toward the ghost, who was now brandishing in air with fiendish swoops his scintillating scimitar over the head of the dumb woman. Evidently she found the strain too great, for with a final gasp of horror she crumpled up and sank silently to the floor. This last feat she accomplished most abruptly and now she lay motionless draped over the rug. In his triumph the ghost gave one last shriek of malevolent, demoniacal gleeâthen slowly made his way out in the same manner as he had entered. Immediately following his exit, the curtain fell, the orches- 31 THE ECHO tra blared forth and a storm of applause swept the air. The woman arose hurriedly, assumed a gracious smile, the footlights turned on and the curtain went up. She went forward and bowed smilingly in recognition of the applause. In the wings the boys were prepared to go. 'You know, Scott,â said Tom. âyou should have picked a show I hadnât seen already. I was out in that audience only a few nights ago.â You never mentioned it. Anyway, this is the only place whose stage manager I knew.â Harry J. Burns, H. S. â23. % THE ECHO The Lake A lake, with sensitive waters, Below our classroom lies, A silv'ry shimmering mirror. That reflects the changing skies. The south wind, in gentle zephyrs, Ruffles its blue expanse. While sea-gulls ride on its bosom. Where the playful sunbeams dance. With the instinct of a mother. Who watches oâer her child. T he crystal surface responds to The sky tints both murky and mild. T he trees, of a once great forest. Bound the lake in an emerald chain.

Conceived in ignorance, born of bigotry and nourished with falsehood and hypocrisy, this organization is endeavoring, with every effort possible, to transform this nation of liberty-loving Americans into an intolerant, fanatical feudalism and muzzle every Catholic, Jew and Negro within its infernal boundaries. Though the Hebrew and Ethiopian are both considered detrimental to good government by these âbetter than thouââ fanatics, the real target of this new movement is Catholicism. While pretending to dearly cherish liberty, equality and fraternityâthe essential prerogatives of all free menâthey openly avow their aim to be the expulsion or annihilation of Catholicism. This aggregation of hooded hoodlums have made Catholicism in their vicious vernacular, synonymous with ignorance. They boldly tell us that the Pope is undermining this nation and will ultimately seize it and add it to his already enormous possessions. Lastly they associate Catholicism with treason and denounce all Catholics as undesirable and traitorous characters. To the malignant assertion that ignorance is the spawn of Catholicism, little need be said. It is a brazen insult to the large number of men. both living and dead, who have astounded the world with their brilliancy, and at the same time have professed the Catholic Church to be their spiritual mother. The pages of history are fairly overflowing with testimony to show that the Church of Rome has ever been the light of the world, spiritually and intellectually. The hordes of Huns and Goths that threatened to destroy every vestige of civilization were stopped, converted, and changed from barbarous savages to a civilized people through the efforts of a Roman Pope. Catholic principles did for Ireland what all Rome in the height of â H 34 L THE ECHO her power could not do. From a land of unlearned tribes, the Emerald Isle become the Isle of Saints and Scholars: England was converted from an abode of savages to a land of learning through Catholicism: and it was the Catholics who wrung from King John at Runnymede the Magna Chartaâthe forerunner of the American Constitution. Even in this country of ours we see Maryland the first Catholic settlement, the first also to allow absolute religious liberty. Still in the face of all these established facts, this klan of âKulturedâ Americans would have us believe that Catholicism is correlative with ignorance. We are told that the Pope has resolved to put the United States under his dominion, and to substantiate this charge we are told that already seventy-five per cent of the appointive officers of our country are Catholic. Is the Pope a Caesar or an Alexander? Has he at his command vast armies and monstrous navies with which to subdue the world? The very suggestion of this is ridiculous. If the Pope is so intent upon material plunder and temporal power why doesnât he annex those countries that are already decidedly Catholic? The political and religious views of every Catholic are two distinctive features. In Godâs Name, cannot a man acknowledge Christ without reviling Uncle Sam? In every Catholic heart there are those words of Christ. âRender to Caesar the things that are Caesarâs and to God the things that are Godâs.â And does this make him an outlaw in a Republic that allows every man the âright to life, liberty and the pursuit of happinessâ? Was Charles Carroll of Carrollton un-American because of his Catholicity? Did the Catholicity of Baron DeKolb cause him to hesitate in leaving his home land to help a victimized people throw off the yoke of a tyrannical king? Nine Roman Catholics signed the Declaration of Independence: several Catholics helped frame the Federal Constitution, and the late Chief Justice White, the greatest of all justicesâa Catholicâinterpreted that Constitution, the fundamental law of the land Yet, are we to believe that these men would rise at the nod of the Pope and rebel against the land they fought to sustain? 'The Catholics of New York received a letter from President Washington praising their patriotism. General Rosecransâ Americanism is unquestionable, he died a Catholic. Were Phil Sheridan, that 35 THE ECHO intrepid commander, or âPap Thomas, the Rock of Chicka-mauga, traitors because they were Catholics? Why did the Sixty-ninth Regiment of New York run blood for this country if there was a Papal plot afoot to trample it in the dust? Why. the records of our Catholic countrymen from the battle of Lexington to the blood-soaked Flanders fields are hewn in the immortal tablets of historyâs remembrances. Perhaps these defaming Ku Klux Klansmen are ignorant of a few of these facts. If so. they cannot be blamed for their ignorance, but I am inclined to believe that the abettors of this movement are possessors of bad hearts and worse heads. As long as the Klansmen insist that seventy-five per cent of our appointive officers are Catholics would it not be a little more conclusive if some proof were offered for this statement? Then let us suppose that it should be so: is it not a prerogative of every American citizen in this democratic land that he have equal right to office with his neighbor and that any attempt to take away from the American citizen his right to the free practice of his religion is a flagrant violation of one of the fundamental doctrines of the United States? While openly boasting Americanism, this pusillanimous organization is blasting at the very vitals of the true American spirit by sowing the seeds of dissatisfaction, jealousy, bigotry and treason. The more ridiculous the fad, however, the larger the following: and thus this most ridiculous of fads finds a large following of gullible fanatics who will take for granted all the inane fumings of Ku Klux lecturers. Like a certain odoriferous animal they must be noticed. This nation though yet an infant among other nations has experienced several sweeps of this idiotic furore. The Knownothings came, belched their bigotry and disappeared. The A. P. A.âs broadcasted all the lies that the Ku Kluxers are now dealing out and they got about as far with it as will the present malicious nightshirt paraders. Men who spout forth second-hand lies show that they lack the fecundity of brain to invent new ones. The criminal conduct of Kluxism. including butcheries and burnings, lynchings and beatings, show that infamy has ever been synonymous with the Klan. and anyone connected with the present movement is either a blinded bigot or an .k. 36 THE ECHO irrcmedial idiot. How long this spasmodic flutter will last is not hard to say. Although one of the bitterest outbursts of bigotry yet experienced and by far the largest aggregation of its kind yet organized in the annals of the United States, it is destined to die. Even if left to itself it would cease to exist because of its own uselessness. Out of nothing, nothing comes; and as there is nothing constructive but everything destructive in Klanism, it cannot or will not produce anything but destruction and in this destruction will the Klan itself be destroyed. If the motives of the Klansmen be as praiseworthy and the purposes as commendable as they would have us believe, why do they insist upon hiding their sainted (0 faces behind long flowing masks? If their motives were for the establishment of equaiity. fraternity and a greater America, why should they don the garb of the thug? History has no record of any honest man wearing a mask to hide himself. No man unless he be ashamed; unless he be a thief: unless he be a murderer; unless he be a scoundrel, will hide himself from fellow man in the execution of his deeds. The Ku Klux Klan would certainly receive much more favor if they tried to accomplish their end in the open and would meet all issues fairly and squarely. But since they insist upon hiding their actions behind bed-sheets and mythical titles we are inclined to place them in the category of suspicious characters and bad men. It has even been proved that a great number of Klansmen in Texas, where they are strong, are dope fiends and ex-convicts. Now âbirds of a feather flock together,â and if we are to judge anyone by the company they keep, we cannot but have a strong suspicion that the majority of the Klan are at least entitled to a berth in some state penitentiary. for no honest man is willing to associate himself with dope fiends and jail-birds. The influential men of the Klan may not necessarily be blinded bigots, they may only be plain parasites, too lazy to work. T hey know that a large number of the American people are prepared to hand out ready cash to almost any cause and they also know that an Anti-Catholic cause will find more supporters than any other similar movement, so they broadcast the same old brood of liesâlong since refutedâand lo. and bc- 37 THE ECHO hold, a flock of fools come, pouring into their hands some hard, cold cash. Tolerance has always been a leading factor in Americanism, but when an intolerant, hypocritical, job-lot of bigots become so un-American as to attempt to debar real Americans from the emoluments bequeathed to them by their forefathers it is high time for Uncle Sam to wake up, take a hand, and spank the disturbers. Does Uncle Sam need wizards, goblins, dragons and a whole coterie of other fiends and monsters, to guard him from imaginary terrors? It seems to us that our âUncleâ has thus far proven himself pretty handy in any fight and well able to take care of himself without a band of meddling night prowlers as aids. Some states have already found out the un-Americanism of the Klan and have, in strict accord with American principles, barred it from functioning within the state boundaries: and is it not a peculiar coincidence that Kluxism flourishes most where illiteracy is the greatest? No. it is not so peculiar after all. Only ignorami believe their lies: sensible men despise them. There is the answer and that is why the states with the least illiteracy have squelched the dishonest fraud and condemned it as un-American in principle and in fact. We only hope that before long the other states following in the footsteps of the more sane leaders will arise to the true democratic spirit and cast out all defaming bigots until the whole country is purged of this unclean brood and there is no vestige of their infamous ilk upon the face of America. Howard J. LeClair, â25. 38 THE ECHO The College Course SEATTLE COLLEGE has this year come again into its own. In 1917 when the United States entered the war the faculty was forced to discontinue the four years of higher education. Each year after the war an attempt was made to restore that course and its accompanying prestige, but without success. When the high school class of '22 graduated, however, it was found that enough were willing to return to warrant the necessary additions to the faculty, so that the school year of 1922-23 saw the return after five years' absence, of the rightful heritage of Seattle Collegeâits college course. The college course in former years sent forth many a graduate who has made his mark in the world. Not only are they to be found in and about the city of Seattle, but they have taken up their abode in all parts of the world: in Michigan, in New York, in Europe, in South America. North and South. East and West, they have gone, taking with them the lessons learned in this, their Alma Mater. Those who. after leaving the College, sought further education in other halls of learning have shone forth in all the singularity of well trained men. The fathers realizing the good that the course has done, worked hard to restore it. The full four years course was not. however, immediately undertaken. During the past year only two classes were established and maintainedâFreshman and Sophomoreâand the subjects taught were those designated by the state officials for what is known as a Junior College Course. T his course as it is arranged, gives the high school graduate the necessary and required preparation for his entrance into the schools and colleges of engineering, science, law, etc. T he student is given the added advantage of obtaining a thorough knowledge of scholastic philosophy and the Catholic viewpoint on economics and like subjects which opportunity he would not otherwise receive, and which subjects will stand him in good stead in later years. 40 THE ECHO Keeping the student for two years after high school in the same intellectual and religious atmosphere in which the trying days of his youth were guided, stamps in his character that steadfast code of morals which are so necessary to true success in after life. Catholic parents should realize these things and try, if possible, to return their sons to some Catholic College for their higher education. The faculty of Seattle College, if possible, will add the third year of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science Courses in the fall of 1923.

He came to Seattle College from Bellingham in the fall of 1918. During his high school course he distinguished himself in studies, debates, dramatics and orchestra work, winning a class medal, an elocution medal, a debating prize and several distinctions. During the past year he has kept up the high standard of his work and we look to see him make a very successful lawyer. Henry Thomas Ivers was born April 13. 1902. in Seattle, Washington. He entered Seattle College in 1917. During his six years of Jesuit education he has won two class medals, an essay medal, a debating prize and numerous distinctions in dramatic and orchestra work. He won a letter in baseball in 1921, this being his only athletic leaning. Like LeClair he has legal ambitions. George Rudolph Stuntz was born January 3, 1903, at Seattle, Washington. His first year at Seattle College was in 1917. He has always been near the top in studies, winning the class medal in second high. Like his two classmates Stuntz is a debater of no mean ability. He has to his credit two basketball letters. Stuntz refuses to divulge the secret of his future intentions. 43 THE ECHO Freshman Class ' I O THE Freshman College Class of 1923, goes most of -L the credit for the re-establishment of the College Course at the College. Fourteen of last year's high school graduating class returned at the beginning of this school year and realizing the value of the course not only to themselves but to those students of the future, have worked unselfishly for its success. Early in the year the class met and elected Frank Conklin class president, which office he held during the entire year. William Ogden was elected vice-president and Howard LeClair secretary. Edmund OâConnor was appointed by the class to handle all class athletics. There being only three members in the Sophomore class the two classes were merged into one so far as an organization was concerned. The class handled College night in a creditable fashion, and was partly responsible for the establishment and furtherance of the Alumni Association. Several members of the class have distinguished themselves during the year in school activities. Bertrand Curran and Van Christoph were responsible for the success of the Palestra, and they were ably assisted by Edmund OâConnor and James iMcLaughlin. Frank Conklin promoted and put over the interclass track meet almost single handed. The class has been amply represented in all activities including dramatics, sports and debating. In accord with the usual custom the members of the class journeyed to Lake Sawyer for a two-daysâ outing on May 10th and 1 1 th. The same spirit which characterized the class throughout the high school course, showed itself during this year. The college men were always ready to begin or further anything that was to the good of the institution and their example as well as their accomplishments proved infinitely valuable. 45 Aucourt Bartholemy Barton Beezer Bowling Brazeau Timothy I..

Our High school life therefore has been contemporaneous with the new life of the school. For three years the class was divided into sections A and B. but with the beginning of last year the classes were combined and Father Murphy was given to us as our teacher. Many faces that were with us in first, second and third year have passed out of our school life, while new ones have taken their places: whenever one has gone there has always been another to fill the gap. We look back upon our school life and recognize the glorious spirit that has lightened the tedium of the monotonous school existence: for in the class there has been great cooperation. With us the difficulties of one have been the difficulties of all. Through the years that are before us. in College life or in the business world, which many of us will find it necessary to enter, many a time the thought will come to us of happy hours spent with old classmates: of kind deeds done and kind words spoken. But though here we feel it necessary to say farewell, for it is improbable that the whole class will ever again be gathered together, still it is to be hoped that some of us will meet again: that many of us will find ourselves again within the same room and pouring over the same books. However, the memory of what has been can never be obliterated. We can look back upon successful days: days when the lead was ours: when we were powers to be reckoned with in our own little world. For the class has been most successful in whatever it has undertaken, and the members of the class have been a credit to themselves and to Seattle College, the center of their toils and pleasures for four of the happiest years of their life. Happy recollections we take with us of the days âthat are no more.â and the lessons we have learned shall remain with us forever. 49 v. Third High Photo by DcVry  ⌠⌠THE ECHO Third High Class Notes ÂŤ. .T TNDER Two Flagsâ would not be an inappropriate heading to this little account of the activities of the class of 28 during this past year. T he opening of school in September found one division, 3rd High A, flaunting the Cardinal and Gray on which was written the class motto, âVelis Remisque,â while in the room directly below them the somewhat smaller 3rd High B rallied to their Lavender and Gold banner, striving to live up to the slogan. In Omnia Paratus.â Mr. Leo McGreal taught the former and Rev. Fr. Deignan the latter. Early in September following the first student body meeting the class elections were held. Joseph Manion was chosen as president of Mr. McGreal's class, with Lawrence Booth as vice-president, and Robert Breen as secretary-treasurer. In the Third B, Henry Ravet became president. Earl Gerdon vice-president. Welsh Powers secretary, and Ralph Ferrendini treasurer. It was in November that Seattle College presented It Pays to Advertise. in which Earl Gerdon, John Spiller and Edwin Eckern, all members of Third High played important roles. Due to the departure of Mr. Quevedo, S. J., in December. the two classes were united into one large class under Mr. McGreal. In February, a consolidation meeting was held and new officers elected. Mr. Booth became president and Mr. John Byrne was made vice-president, Mr. Breen secretary-treasurer, and Mr. Eckern advertising manager. In the inter-class basketball tournament, which was held in March, the team from T hird High took second place. John Spiller was picked to represent Seattle College in the Shakespearian contest held on April 23rd at the University of Washington, where he won third place. The big event of the year (the class picnic, of course) took place on May 10th, when the class motored to Angle Lake. 51 Second High A Photo by DcVry  --------- THE ECHO Second High A ECOND HIGH A has had a checkered career. Life has been good to us as it has shown us the greatest of all charms -variety. When September came around and we â gleefully'' took up our books again we found ourselves overlooking the campus under the watchful eye of Mr. Glecson. But it was not always thus. Early in the first semester Mr. Gleeson and Mr. Quevedo exchanged classes and consequently to Mr. Quevedoâs care we were committed. Then Mr. Quevedo was called to California and shortly after Christmas Mr. Robinson was entrusted with our destinies. And under his genial care we have continued ever since. In the class elections Arthur Flajole was elected president: Francis Burns, vice-president: Patrick Barry, secretary-treasurer, and Charles Mahoney athletic and business manager. We claim that our class watchword is âPep.â and the fact that we have been leading the Loyalty League all year, and that our classmate. Ross Bcezcr. is at present the individual leader well bears out our claim. Mahoney is our official actor. His rendition of several long speeches during âThe Folly of the Crossâ was highly interesting to all within hearing distance. Ross Beezcr and Car-roll Montgomery also appeared ever and anon during the course of the aforementioned drama. However, the class long suit was athletics. Beezer played on the 120 basketball team. Shea, Montgomery, Flajole and Ivcrs played with the 1 10 s. âHashââ OâNeill wore a football suit during the season. Montgomery, Beezer, Cummings. Shea and I vers all played with the College Midget baseball team. In short, we are what we areâthat is a peppy class with ambitions to stay such, and we hope with the'ability to make our presence felt in every line of College activity. Certainly with Cummings to stand by us no one shall ever say that we have passed through College life unheard. 53 Second High B Photo by DeVry â ' ÂŤÂŁÂ J T H E ECHO Second High B E have completed one-half of our high school course and we look back upon our two years under the guidance of Mr. Elliott with unmixed pleasure. But especially during the last year have we come more into our own. The newness and strangeness that inevitably accompany the first year has altogether worn off and we feel ourselves more a part of the school life. In other years we will be ready to bear even a greater share in the activities of our Alma Mater With the opening of the school year in September we found that two of our old classmates, Phil Soreghan, former class president, and Tony Baffaro, man about the campus, had left our ranks to follow a higher call. Both men, prominent in many activities, are now at Los Gatos preparing themselves for the great course they have chosen. The first class election and the only one, placed Gerard Rohrbach in the presidential seat. Jack Hickman in the office of vice-president, and Vincent McCullough in the position of secretary-treasurer. At the mid-year McCullough left our company for the ranks of Third year High. Jay Montgomery, a newcomer, was elected to the vacant position of secretary-treasurer. His pep and spirit have made him an ideal man for the place. The class has been well represented in College activities. It is versatile: Paul took the part of a stern Roman guard in the âFolly of the Cross. while MacArthur was the Angel in the same production. In the elocution tryouts both Jack Miller and Jay Montgomery won the privilege of being in at the finish and of having a try at the coveted medal. In sports John Paul and Burns upheld the class honor in football, while Tony Hein was one of the star forwards on the crack 120-pound basketball team. Ray Young did the honors for the class on the Palestra staff, and his contributions were frequent and meritorious. On the whole we can look back upon a good year, and on its showing look forward to a still better one to come. First and Second High have passed successfully and Third High will surely do the same. 55 First High A Photo by DcVry C THE ECHO First High A THE opening of school in September found a class of thirty-five boys gathered in the classroom on the lower floor, all anxious to delve into the routine of a high school course with its mysteries and pleasures. We were only First High A, and though we were the smaller division, we by no means considered ourselves the least. The class teacher. Mr. Edward J. Coen, proved to be one who knew how to win the affections of his pupils by immediately interesting himself in the various class activities. The first class election was held in October after a short monthâs acquaintance among the boys, and after the smoke of battle had cleared it was found that Thomas Gill was president. Christmas came and passed, and with the return to school came the New Year and the new election of officers. The result this time was to make Charles MacGregor president, Joseph Logan vice-president. Francis Dugan recording-treasurer, and Ralph OâHearn financial treasurer. A council of boys representing the various parishes of the city was also chosen. The annual spring play, The Folly of the Cross,â was enhanced by the First A beauty chorus. Their appearance certainly lent color to the drama. Charles MacGregor played the leading role. Harry Jahn, the class essayist, won first prize in the Rosary Essay Contest. His essay was the first in merit in an essay contest representing every Catholic school in the city. What the future holds we do not know, but we do know that you canât keep good men down; so we advise the world to watch our progress in growth, wisdom and all-around prowess in the years to come. 57 First High B Photo by DcVry THE ECHO First High B FIRST HIGH B has had a most successful year under the guidance of both Mr. Quevedo and Mr. Gleason. Mr. Quevedo directed the destinies of the class for the first month and a half but towards the end of October. Mr. Gleason was given the task of driving knowledge into our intellectual cra-niums. Under his auspices the class has progressed in age and wisdom until we stand at the peak of knowledge at present attained. The class has been favored with able officers. The first semester saw Murray OâBrien, president; Louis Cummings, secretary; and Dan Foley, treasurer. T he elections in the second semester, resulted with Clarence Reilly in the presidential chair, John Mullally as secretary; Andrew Duet as treasurer, and the great and only Charles OâShea as athletic manager. With these men at the helm the class proceeded to outstrip all competitors in both the intellectual and physical line, if not absolutely, at least relatively. Athletically, we have had success. In the basketball tournament the team put forth by First High B.. was the surprise of the school. It took the seasoned veterans of Third High, with Ferrendini leading their attack, to stop our onrush. On the football team. Alexander showed his metal, and on the baseball squad. Hurley has demonstrated his ability to hold down an outfield berth. John Taylor was the leader of the merry little wordlings in the production of â The Folly of the Cross,ââ and the same lad was also chosen as one of the contestants in the annual elocution contest. âBudâ Reaney, as class advertising manager, has given good service to both the Palestra and the Annual. As a whole, the year has been most enjoyable and we look forward in eager anticipation to what the future will hold for us. Other years bring other stories, but undoubtedly what has been so successfully started will be brought to a successful conclusion. Therefore, we will enter confidently upon the second year of our High School life, with nothing but happy memories of the one we have left behind. 59 60 Senior Sodality Photo by DeVry L â â˘V t t THE ECHO The Senior Sodality William Ogden. Prefect Maurice OâHearn. First Assistant Harry Burns. Second Assistant Van Christoph. Secretary HE SENIOR SODALITY of the Blessed Virgin held its first meeting early last autumn. With the beginning of this year it was determined to make it a more definite organization. presided over by officers and holding regular meetings; a real sodality with a marked aim and purpose. During the initial meeting a vote was taken to determine the officers. At the next one it was announced that the officers at the head of the page had been chosen. 'T he meetings are held every T hursday afternoon in the school chapel: the exercises generally consisting of an opening prayer followed by the recital of the Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary, after which Fr. Burke, conductor of the meetings, delivers a talk. Soon after the beginning of the year it was decided that the formal reception of the members into the Sodality should take place on December the eighth, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a day most suitable for the entry into the Sodality established in honor of the Mother of God. Following the Mass, during which all received Holy Communion, the impressive reception ceremonies were held. The Sodality has increased in size regularly since then; several new members were formally received on May the fourth. The society was founded for the purpose of venerating the Blessed Virgin and asking for her aid. She is to be the model and intercessor of the students. Such a body, if it lives up to its obligations, cannot help but be a force for good. Its aim is 10 make decent, honest members and to achieve this end it requires that they approach the Sacraments often. It follows therefore that its influence must be wholesome and beneficial to the whole school. 6 V Junior Sodality Photo by lX'Vry THE ECHO Junior Sodality Prefect. John Fitzgerald Assistants. Herald OâNeil. Gerard Rohrbach Consultors. Arthur Flajole. Charles Mahoney Secretary. Patrick Barry HE genuine spirit of manly piety and cheery friendship that has characterized the Junior Sodality members this year has been such as to cause in all a general feeling of real pride in our membership and an earnest zeal to live up to the lofty ideals so often set before us. Before admission to the Sodality we were made to see clearly that the one big idea which every sodalist must ever bear in mind is that he must strive after not only ordinary Christian piety, but must, of obligation, aim at what is best in all practical virtue. And just as membership in a sodality to be sincere and effective must be a matter of his own choice so the practice of the virtue expected of a sodalist must be deliberate and from the heart. And now at the close of the year we feel that we have, at least, really tried to live up to the ideal. The motto chosen for the Sodality is certainly such as to elevate our minds and lift up our hearts to what is only high and holy. Ad Majora Nati brings to our minds all that the Sodality aims at attaining. We are not made for the sordid and earthly but for greater things are we born. That the members of the Sodality have tried to co-operate among themselves and with the Director in realizing their ideal has been evidenced by the boosting and encouraging spirit that has prevailed throughout the year. Devotedness to the Blessed Sacrament has taken definite and practical form through the organization of the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament. About one-half of the Sodalists have joined this chivalrous crusade. Devotion to the Queen of the Sodality, which must be ever uppermost in each member's practices of piety, has shown itself especially during the month of May by the fervor of the compositions in honor of the Blessed Lady and by the care taken of her May shrine. Not a little credit is due to the officers of the Sodality for the successful year. 65 lÂŁu V 4- THE ECHO The Catholic Studentsâ Mission Crusade IN April, 1922, the first meeting of the Seattle College Mission Society was called to order. A group of students, not large, but filled with enthusiasm and zeal for the missions, responded. To these Mr. Fox. S. J., unfolded the purpose of the Crusade, which is to render spiritual and temporal aid to the missions at home and abroad, and proposed plans for the formation of a unit. Spirits, never to be dampened by cold thoughts of discouragement, ran high in this little group. Enthusiasm increased as more work was accomplished, and again the wisdom of the old axiom, âQuality not quantity, was verified. But to quality the Crusade later added quantity as well, until it has developed into the largest organization in the college. Much good work for the missions was accomplished in the past year both spiritually as well as financially and educationally. Spiritually the Crusaders have aided the missions by their prayers, little acts of self-sacrifice, and the Masses and Communions they have offered for the success of Christâs laborers. To these spiritual alms they added financial support. The society, during its first year of existence, gathered $275.00 for the missions. Many new friends have, moreover, been gained for them through the societyâs activities. Educationally, too, the Crusade has deserved well of the missions and the school. Before the Crusade came into being at Seattle College, few of the boys knew the real facts concerning the missions. Few realized their sad plight, their many needs: and so little was done by the students to help relieve their distress. At the present time the students generally are well acquainted with Godâs work in the mission fields and know better the true circumstances; so that, realizing more fully the hard struggle of the missionaries, they are more ready to help them when a plea for assistance comes from the starving missions in scorching Africa, or from the ice-covered plains of northern Alaska. By Ray Young, H. S. â25. 67 S. cv â - h Club Photo by DcVry rhe S. C.â Club SETTING a precedent, the letter men of the College formed an organization during the year for the furtherance of the spirit of athletics in the school. Owing to the progress of sports and the ever increasing number of lettermen, such an organization became almost a necessity. At the first meeting held early in October, the organizing plan was drawn up and a constitution adopted. At the second meeting the election of officers was held resulting in the choice of Edmund OâConner, star in football, basketball and baseball. for president, Byril Groseclose for vice-president and Henry Ivers for secretary. The chief accomplishment of the letter club was the adoption of the standard letter for all major sports. Hitherto the interlocking âSCâ had been given for baseball and football, and the circular âSCâ for basketball. The choice of the letter club was a block with the âCâ inside of the âS.â The letter met with the approval of all the students and faculty and promises to remain unchanged for a good many years. T he coaches have recognized the power and potential good of the organization and several times during the year have had recourse to its membership for advice and aid in the adoption of new measures and methods. Judging from its usefulness in this its first year, the organization, with the swell in membership it enjoyed, will undoubtedly accomplish a great deal more in the coming and succeeding years. 69 THE ECHO âPhilalethic Debating Society' EBATING, officially discontinued for the past four years at the College, was reorganized this year by the establishment of two debating societies, one in the college department and one in the high school. The senior society comprising the college men was organized under the direction of Mr. Dunne, S. J., on October 20, 1922. At the first meeting on that date, officers for the first half of the scholastic year were elected. Howard LeClair was made president, Maurice OâHearn, Vice-President; Henry Ivers, Secretary; and Vance Moriarty, Ser-geant-at-Arms. In accordance with the constitution, officers for the second half of the year were elected at the meeting on February 23, 1923, Maurice OâHearn, former vice-president replacing Howard LeClair as President. William Ogden was elected Vice-President: Frank Conklin, Secretary, and Edmund O'Connor, Sergeant-at-Arms. During the course of the year, various questions of import were discussed and many opinions viewed. The question of the European Crisis at the time of the Turco-Grecian trouble âthe Philippine IndependenceâProhibition on United States shipsâMethod of Election and Term of the President of the United StatesâCapital Punishment after Conviction on Circumstantial EvidenceâThe Ruhr QuestionâCompulsory Military Training, and the Ship Subsidyâwere all argued at length in the debates and during the open house discussion at each meeting. The society was represented in the annual public debate between the two societies, by Henry Ivers, Howard LeClair and George Stuntz. On April 23, the members sat around the festive board of the yearly banquet which was held at Northold Inn. The Philalethians enjoyed a most successful year, especially when allowances are made for this being the first year. Several very good debaters were discovered and many, wholly inexperienced before, were trained, and the annual banquet and dance were established. 70 â THE ECHO The Junior Debating Society THE JUNIOR Debating Society enjoyed a most profitable year. The weekly debates brought vividly before the minds of these young Americans subjects of vital interest and of the utmost importance, and greatly impressed upon them the necessity of individual and earnest attention on the part of every American citizen to the problems facing the rising generation. The Society is to be congratulated upon its choice in both the fall and spring elections of officers. T hey were most capable in administering its affairs, and were fired with the enthusiasm which, communicated to the Society at large, insured each week a well-prepared and spirited discussion. Great credit is due Paul Jackson, president during the fall term, and Granville Egan, his successor, for their skillful administration of parliamentary procedure. Modern problems, varying from the domestic troubles of Seattle to such world questions as the influence of the Turks upon Europe and of the Lenine-Trotsky regime upon the world, were discussed before the assembly. While the debates as a rule centered about Americaâs interests in domestic and foreign affairs, it was found that interest could readily be aroused in the policies of other nations in world matters; and thus in the most spirited debate of the year, Pranceâs attitude in the Ruhr invasion was assailed and defended in a manner worthy of the vast importance of this strained situation. Another hotly contested debate was the labor question in the United States. Employers and labor delegates would have smiled in commendation could they have heard their sides of the question expounded by the two sides. Two preliminary contests were necessary to choose the three speakers to uphold the honor of the Junior Society in the Public Debate. The choice of speakers was amply justified when, on the evening of April twentieth. Ray Barton, Granville Egan and Paul Jackson ably argued the prohibition question with the representatives of the Senior Society. Though the Seniors won. it was a hotiy contested debate and the Seniors were forced to the utmost of their splendid forensic powers. 71 Orchestra Glee Club â 72 4- Eclio Staff Photo by DcVry fhe Echo Staff Faculty Representative iMr. Walter J.

The question for debate was âResolved, that the Congress of the United States should allow the manufacture and sale of light wines and beer ' The affirmative team. Granville Egan, Raymond Barton and Paul Jackson, was picked from the Junior Society and the negative, Henry Ivcrs, George Stuntz and Howard LeClair, from the Senior Society. The teams spoke in the order named and rebuttals were given for the affirmative by Granville Egan and for the negative by Henry Ivers. Milo Manca H. S. 21, acted as Chairman of the debate. The judges were James Hay, A. B., T 7, J. C. Ford, A. B., â09, and Clarence Toomey. T wo prizes were offered, five dollars for the winning team and five dollars for the best individual debater. The first prize, that for the winning team, was awarded to the negative and the second, for the best individual debater, was awarded to Henry Ivers, a member of the negative team. A review of the arguments of both sides discloses a very close debate. The Palestra commenting states that âlight wines and beer furnished material for one of the most hotly contested public debates in years.â In another place it avers that âa good crowd came to hear the best oratorial effort of the year and was not disappointed in its hopes â The debate was one of the best in years and was most hotly contested. T he sides were evenly matched and all six men were experienced at the forensic art. As a specimen of the yearâs accomplishments in the two societies the debate spoke well, and if the high standard set this year is reached in the future, Seattle College will send forth many a fine speaker. 78 THE ECHO The Elocution Contest ON Tuesday evening. May 15. the annual elocution contest of the High School Department was held in the Holy Names auditorium. T he contestants, in the order determined by lot and the selections they spoke, were as follows: Jack J. Miller..... Ross J. Beezer ..... Jay K. Montgomery Joseph G. LeClair John H. Taylor Edwin H.

As a matter of fact, there is an opinion among many that it set a new mark of quality that those of future years will find difficult to equal. Suffice to say that the program contained such a rarity of selections rendered with such excellence that the interest of the capacity audience did not wane for even a second. It was a hard fought contest throughout, each speaker endeavoring to outdo the former. The winner as chosen by the judges. Rev. Aloysius M. McHugh. Mr. J. L. Corrigan and Mr. Thomas J. Ivers, is Thomas L. Glenn. He will be awarded the elocution medal presented by the Seattle Council. Knights of Columbus, on the night of Commencement. 79 V THE ECHO Commencement Night COMMENCEMENT night will be June 14 this year. The main speakers of the evening will be the three graduates of the Junior College Course, who will speak on the modern theories of Evolution, and Charles P. Moriarty, who will give the address to the graduates. The usual awarding of medals and distinctions will take place on this night. The program as it is arranged at the date of publication of the Echo is as follows: 'Monistic Evolution''.........Henry T. Ivers. 25 Darwinian Evolutionâ.......George R. Stuntz, â25 Independent Formation . . . Howard J. LeClair, '25 Award of Academic Diplomas Award of Prizes and Distinctions Address to the Graduates.....Charles P. Moriarty The Seattle College Orchestra will render three selections during the program. 80 THE ECHO Dramatics THE Famous drama, âThe Seven Keys to Baldpate, rang down the curtain on what was considered one of the most successful years ever enjoyed by the Seattle College Dramatic Society. During the school year of 1922-23, the well-known College Dramatists staged in their capable manner three very pleasing and enjoyable productions. Light comedy and heavy drama alike brought to cognizance the ability and versatility of the Thespians. Large and appreciative audiences testified that the Catholic Public of Seattle realizes full well the good work of the budding actors. Three plays taxed the auditorium of the Holy Names Academy to its utmost capacity and yet many disappointed patrons were turned away. Never were the players obliged to waste their efforts on empty seats, but on the contrary, tickets were practically at a premium. Of course, much credit for the success of the plays is due to the students, who sold the tickets for the productions with a peppy spirit very creditable to the whole school. But, however, there has never been a disappointed auditor, and this speaks volumes for the youthful thespiansâ ability. Again praise must be given to the faithful instructors who laboriously drilled the players until they were finally ready to stand on the brink of the footlights and cover themselves with glory. The first offering of the year was: âIT PAYS TO ADVERTISE A surprisingly well cast group of High School students headed by Earl Gerdon earned for themselves a considerable amount of praise in conjunction with their interpretation of âIt Pays to Advertise. a popular comedy of modern life in three acts. At the matinee on Sunday afternoon, the Collegians played to an enthusiastic audience which presaged better results for the evening performance given on Monday evening, November the twentieth. True to expectations, long before the curtain was rung up at 8:15, the S. R. O. sign was hung 81 THE ECHO out. and yet the crowds of followers of the stage poured into the large auditorium of Holy Names Academy. An unusual theme, well acted, with appropriate stage settings. put the offering over in almost professional style. The story, delightful with many witty lines, flowing with pungent humor, revolves about an irascible pater, disgusted with the indolence of his son Rodney (Earl Gerdon). After a very tense scene between the son and father Cyrus Martin (Granville Egan), Rodney is left to fall back upon his own resources âwhich happen to be a very few dollars, a glowing conception of âliving.ââ and a few ideas gathered in several years of hilarious College life. While engaged in turning over his ideas. Rodney is rudely interrupted by the advent of Mr. Ambrose Peale (Thomas Glenn), âadvance man. momentarily on his âuppers.ââ Thomas Glenn played the part to perfection, furnished many of the humorous situations, and kept the audience in a continuous uproar with his convincing arguments on the value of advertising. According to the Palestra. âAlthough he played his part well, he was just a bit too active at times; and often drew the attention of the audience from the main speakerâHowever, I do not exactly agree with the writer of those lines, yet it is true, his part was rendered as prominent as that of Rodney Martin's. Earl Gerdon. in his first appearance in a Seattle College production, took his part brilliantly, and earned for himself a reputation. Except for his patent youthfulnessâwhich he could not entirely cover upâhe most certainly carried the part of a modern son to a flying finish. John Courtney, the fourth principal, as the mindful secretary striving to gain a standing by his clever speculation, is deserving oT much credit. As the suave, methodical, true-to-type secretary, his acting was the epitome of the theatrical interpretation of âthe right-hand-man.â The finesse with which he put over his part, showed him to be an actor with unsounded capabilities. Of the minor roles, that of the crook, in the person of John Spiller. gave that young gentleman an opening to show 82 1 THE ECHO his possibilities. A departure from the regular âcrookâ acting, nevertheless, he exhibited a certain amount of commendable cleverness. Especially good were his gestures and articulation. Edwin Eckern took the part of the fopish and âsissifiedâ son of Mr. Clarke in an able manner. Gerald Martin, a business attache; Ray Barton, the friend: Clarence Rock, the adamantine advertising wolf; Kendall, the cook: Groseclose. the punctilious butler and Harold OâNeil, the clerkâall contributed their share to the dramatic success. Throughout the production the guiding hand of the Director. Mr. W. Elliott, S. J., could be seen, and it is most evident that the success of the production was due to his faithful labor. The S. C. Orchestra furnished some very delightful interludes and overtures. Der Freischultz, as played by the Collegians, was deserving of special comment. To round off the entertainment, The Glee Club made its first appearance of the year, singing the pleasing lullaby, âKentucky Babe.â When the curtain dropped on the last scene, a tremendous applause, reechoing throughout the spacious hall, manifested the pleasure of the appreciative audience. âTHE FOLLY OF THE CROSSâ THE evening of Monday, March 12. 1923, was made memorable in the annals of Seattle College by the staging of âThe Folly of the Cross.â in Holy Names Auditorium by Coliegian Dramatists. This was the second play to be enacted during the school year and proved as much of a success as its more popular predecessor, âIt Pays to Advertise.ââ Although played during Lent, the production was entirely suited to the penitential season, since its theme was wholly religious and its scenes soul-stirring. The play was a departure from the usual type offered by the dramatic society, which has hitherto confined itself to light comedy and non-religious pro- 83 THE ECHO ductions. Its plot consisted of the trials, misfortunes and temptations which assailed the early Christians and the way they dramatically accepted and withstood them. 'The story is laid in paganâmore properlyâancient Rome, during the regime of the emperor Diocletian, who inaugurated the Tenth Persecution against the Christians. Lord Hylas, one of the emperor's nobles, living at Syracuse, is the father of a boy, Vitus, who is a Christian, having received his faith from a pious mother who has since died. The attempts of Lord Hylas to alienate the boy from the love of his God in order to maintain his own position and retain the esteem and favour of Diocletian forms the thread of the story. Realizing the possibilities of rhis seemingly worn-out plot, the author has woven the simple theme into a beautiful, forceful drama, deeply religious in sentiment and appealing to others besides Catholics. Charles iMacGregor headed the well chosen cast in the role of Vitus and gave a very beautiful interpretation of the Christian youth, sorely torn between his filial love, his duty to the pagan king, and his burning passion for the one true God. His efforts culminated, when in the scene with Calchas, the priest of Jove, he succeeded in holding the audience in the highest pitch of expectancy. With childish simplicity he implored the aid of his Divine Redeemer. The part of Calchas was in excellent hands. The brilliant acting of Howard LeClair as the High Priest of Jove shone forthâa star surrounded by numerous satellites. His interpretation was vivid, real and intensely impressive. As a malefactor he was supreme, thoroughly imbued with the pagan spirit of Calchas. Never, throughout the play was he Howard LeClair. but always the hideous, direful venemous priest of Jove. Henry Ivers was well cast, and though his part, that of Lord Hylas, did not call for anything highly emotional, he was, indeed, a pleasing lord and officer of Diocletian. His interpretation was able and his predominance in the first act without adding tedium, gives proof of his artistry. T. Granville Egan as the emperor was in his element. As in the former play, he carried a heavy part calling for all â v r 84 THE ECHO of his skill. He made a superb and majestic Diocletian, decidedly at home wearing the 'purple.â His impressive and dignified bearing made him every inch an emperor; a man to be respected and feared at the same time. John Courtney as one of the preceptors of Vitus, is deserving of much credit for his fine portraiture. He was refined, dignified and virtuous, doing his small part with marked finish. Of the rest, John Fitzgerald, as the son of Diocletian; Welch Powers, another member of the duet of preceptors; Richard Connell, the steward; Carroll Montgomery, as Davus, a slave: Charles Mahoney, a messenger and friend of the son of Diocletian; John Taylor, the king of Mirth, and Harry Jahn, the first Minstrel, together with the priests, minstrels and guards, all carried their parts well. The scenery was beautiful and on the whole exceptionally realistic. The interplay of lights made the costumes most colorful. while the various stage settings, especially the storm at the climax, were put to good use. The application of a projector and a spot with which angelic forms were clearly outlined had the desired effect. With such good scenery and modern âdeus ex machinaâ it was not at all difficult for the cast to score a triumph that was well deserved. These two plays, âIt Pays to Advertise,â âThe Folly of the Cross,â together with âThe Seven Keys to Baldpate.â formed the program offered by the Seattle College dramatic society during the school year of 1922-1923. âMaurice V. OâHearn. A. B., â26. Dramatic Club DRAMATICS have always been a strong factor in Seattle College activities. It is here that our boys yield to none for the College has shown that it excels in the histrionic art. In athletics we are frequently handicapped by want of numbers âin dramatics the small enrollment of the school seems never 85 THE ECHO to have been a hindrance to the perfection of our productions. In short, the Thespians of Seattle College have acquired for themselves a well-deserved reputation for dramatic ability. It was with this consideration in mind, and with the hope of preserving for the future the work thus far so ably carried on, that the students recently combined to bring back to life the old Dramatic Club. This organization existed some years ago under the capable direction of Fr. Garrigan. and even last year âOfficer 666â was staged under its auspices. But the club had come to exist in little more than name, and so the need of a live-wire organization which has been felt all year brought about the recent rejuvenation. The new society aims not only at ensuring financial success to school productions by systematic organization and boosting, but it especially looks forward to bringing to life the dramatic ability slumbering in the souls of many. We look to the coming term in the hope of seeing our plans perfected for a permanent and effective Dramatic Club. Besides the regular club meetings a possible program for informal gatherings might include specimens of elocution and drama with open criticism and suggestions. And that we may be able to hold within our membership the older students, as they .graduate and pass from the halls of Alma Mater, is also one of our cherished hopes. This spring at the outset the club took upon itself something never before attempted in the school namely, a two-night dramatic production. And it was in great part due to its cooperation and effort that âThe Seven Keys to Baldpateâ attained the success it did. The officers elected after the re-organization this spring were: John Courtney, president: Richard Connell, vice-presi- dent: Thomas Glenn, secretary: publicity and managing board. Henry Ivers (chairman), Howard LeClair and Paul Jackson. 86 % 9 THE ECHO t t The Alumni Association SEATTLE COLLEGE has for some years past, nominally at least, had an Alumni Association. To be in keeping with the general progress made by the institution it was seen, during the past year, that a more active organization than ever before, was necessary. The first meeting of the reorganized Alumni was held on January 19, 1923. A gathering of some twenty-five grads and most of the present members of the college department answered to the first call. The meeting was called to order by Mr. E. J. Coen, and after stating that it was the desire of the President, faculty and many graduates to have an active Alumni Association. Mr. Coen named the temporary officers of the meeting. Milo Manca, a graduate of the high school in 1921, was appointed temporary chairman, and Raymond Ouelette, temporary secretary. At this meeting it was decided to digress from the usual procedure of electing officers and choose a board of control instead. The board of control chosen consisted of twelve, six to be elected from the Alumni, five from the present College men and the President of the Student Body of Seattle College. After nominations by a committee and a vote. Raymond Beezer, J. C. Ford, Stanley Padden, Milo Manca. Raymond Ouelette and Charles Moriarty were named from the Alumni, and Frank Conklin. Bernard Scholtes. Maurice OâHearn, Bertrand Curran and Howard LeClair from the College department. Leo Burke, by virtue of his position as President of the Student Body, made the twelfth member of the Board. The Association was also officially designated the Jesuit Alumni Association of Seattle College, and allowed to membership any graduate, holder of honorary degree or ex-student of two yearsâ attendance at any Jesuit College. On Friday, February 2, the newly elected board of control met and adopted a constitution and a program of the work for the remainder of the year. The board at this meeting chose J. C. Ford as chairman to preside at all meetings and 87 THE ECHO Bernard Scholtes as secretary. A general committee, Stanley Padden, Frank Conklin and Leo McGreal. S. J., and an entertainment committee, Maurice OâHearn, Ray Beezer and Frank Conklin, were appointed as permanent. The second general meeting was scheduled for February 16, but because of the heavy snow fall which tied up all traffic it was postponed until March. About forty members were present and a great deal of business was settled. It was decided to have noon lunches at frequent intervals and a banquet at the end of the school year. During the evening several of the talented members offered entertainment and were assisted by the college jazz orchestra. The entertainment committee announced a big smoker for April 11, until which time the meeting adjourned. The smoker on April 1 1 was the most successful meeting held. The business was cut short and fistic engagements attracted for the rest of the evening. A goodly number of new faces were seen and their presence enjoyed. The first of the series of noon-day lunches was announced for the following Wednesday at Northold Inn, and a date, June 14, set for the banquet, but as this was Commencement night, it was later changed to June 1 3. Father T. L. Murphy, S. J., was appointed as chaplain and faculty representative of the Association shortly before the meeting in April and immediately started several movements to improve the organization. The Alumni accomplished more than most organizations of such a short life, especially in adding spirit to all the College activities. It helps the present students to do their utmost when they find the grads and former students behind them and supporting them. That was what the Alumni did this year. At plays and games and programs they were present in large numbers and some took an active interest where it was possible. If the college is to grow the Alumni Association must grow along with it, gaining in strength and prestige year by year. It is up to the Alumni to talk Seattle College, its past. 88 THE ECHO f its present and its future. It is up to the Alumni to advertise and attend all the activities they possibly can. always boosting and encouraging. All of these things the Alumni may be expected to do during the coming year. They are now well organized and understand their duties to their Alma Mater. While dwelling on the subject Alumni it might be well to run through a list of a few of the grads whom we know of. We admit that we are not as well up on the subject as we should be and that we will no doubt omit the names of a good many who should be remembered. But knowing the erroneousness and limitations of the human mind we do not believe that anyone will take offense. In the first place our eyes are turned towards Los Gatos, where several of the former College men are now studying. Francis Logan, Edward Flajole, Stanley Gribbon, Anthony Baffaro and Phil Soreghan are the promising novices who have chosen a higher life and who will, no doubt, return some day to teach at the school which gave them their first lessons. Theodore Ryan is now Chancellor of the Diocese of Seattle and makes his residence with the Bishop. John Concannon, S. J., is in Europe, studying theology. Gerald Beezer, S. J., and Robert Kane. S. J., are teaching at Gonzaga. Frank Kane, S. J., a brother of Robert, and Stephan Crowley, S. J., are completing their philosophy at Mt. St. Michaelâs. John Dougherty, S. J., is teaching chemistry at Santa Clara. Most of these are older members of the Alumni, some having graduated as far back as 1909. A good many former College men are attending other colleges and universities throughout the country and from all reports they are scintillating as true sons should. Some have starred in athletics, others in dramatics and oratory and still others in their academical pursuits. Michael Pecarovich, Frank Needles, Ray Kelly and John Williamson are at Gonzaga. Pecarovich has been the leading thespian at the Spokane institution for the past two years and he and Needles have been playing stellar football. At Santa Clara. John Jackson won the oratorical medal and placed on the debating team. James and 89 THE ECHO John Logan are also at the California school and have made their mark in all lines of sport. Thomas Ratigan is studying medicine at St. Louis, and Gregory Korte is taking up foreign trade at Georgetown University. St. Ignatius at San Francisco also boasts two former Seattle College men. Fred Riley and James Needles, who are studying law. Needles played on the Olympic Club football team during the past winter. Austin Hoblitzell, Vivian Meagher. Arnold Beezer. Milo Manca, Robert Pierce and Paul Buffalo are attending the University of Washington. There are undoubtedly others attending halls of higher learning of whom we have no record. 'The law profession in Seattle has profited by the acquisition of several former Collegians, notably Charles P. Moriarty, who was recently appointed Assistant United States District Attorney. Ever since he graduated from the law school at the University of Washington. Moriarty has been in the limelight. Stanley Padden is also practicing before the bar and has been successful at it. James Hays received his degree from Georgetown last year and has returned to Seattle to practice. Mark Hannan graduated from de Paul University in Chicago and will hang out his shingle in one of our office buildings before long. James Givnan is practicing patent law in the Central Building. William O'Connell is editor of the Progress and he has been publishing very creditable editions of the paper. Roger Coughlin. Archie Earles and Charles Sully are three mainstays of Albers. Ray Beezer is at present employed at the Belknap Glass Co. Gerald Morris is in business with his brother, selling and repairing tires. Three of the former students are hopeful oil magnates: Eugene White and Tony Klotz are working for the Union Oil Co., and George Ryan is with the Standard Oil. Ray and Leo Ouelette recently returned from Detroit, Mich., where they went to live some years ago and are now with their father in the General Discount Co. Leonard and Louis Kaufer are assisting their father at The Kaufer Co.'s new store. J. C. Ford is furnishing heat to shivering Seattleites, as is also Earle Beezer. James Hughes is now at the head of the 90 X THE ECHO Hughes Adams Tea Co. Albert Prickett, our athletic manager of many years ago, presides at the Knights of Columbus Club as financial secretary. Leon Herkenrath is busily engaged fleecing the boys who get the radio craze. He is with the Northwest Radio Supply. Claude Mullen is teaching and coaching baseball at Ballard High School, and his brother, Hubert, is keeping peace as a K. C. secretary at Camp Lewis. George and James McAteer are handling the affairs of the McAteer Shipbuilding Co. They have been around the College often and helped to coach football last year. Leo Barton has taken to selling typewriters and Edward Hart is with the Metropolitan Building Co. William O. Mayer is sojourning in Yakima and has not been heard from for some time. Theodore Kohls is also in Yakima running a shoe store. Three of the grads are in the lumber business, Cy Fair-hurst in Seattle, Thomas Earles in Bellingham and Gerald Patten at Duvall. The railroads, too, claim some of our former men as among their best. Charles Whims and Vincent McGee are with the Northern Pacific and George Siebold with the Great Northern. James Gill and Jerome Kelly are both teaching at St. Leoâs High School in Tacoma. J. C. Ford hears from his old friend, Carl Reynolds, quite often. Reynolds is in Portland, selling automobiles. Clifford Gorman returned from China recently, where he was representing the Pacific Steamship Co. Cyril Peerenboom writes periodically from Michigan, where he is connected with a large publishing house. Lester B. Schorn has taken up his abode in California. Lovell Spellmire is in St. Louis. Spell-mire passed through Seattle recently on his honeymoon and paid the College a visit. Thomas Donahue is in far off Montreal, in the contracting business, and so far as we know is making a great success of it. Don Burke has followed the footsteps of his father and is in the real estate business. Don is still a good baseball player and occasionally breaks into print for stellar performances with local teams. Andrew Sedlacek is the mainstay of the choir in Renton. He is using his silver tones to good advantage. Our 91 THE ECHO old friend, Frank Klotz, is a star choir performer also. He presides at several masses on Sunday at the Cathedral. John Carroll returned from Alaska a few weeks ago to remain in Seattle for the summer. He has been representing the Admiral Line in the North. Bernard Monahan is with the Supply Laundry. We don't know what Virgil Kellar is doing, but he has been around the College quite a bit lately and we couldnât afford to leave him out. Vincent Manca presides at his father's cafe in the evenings and Angelo is with the Mitsui Co. Dr. C. D. Shannon has an office in the Cobb Building. He was out at the last Alumni meeting and said it sure felt good to see the old fellows again. His brother Arthur presides over that famous colyum in the daily Star and goes under the alias of Homer Brew, Esq. Marcus Kendall has become a purveyor of music and is now with the Liberty Music Shop. Here we must stop our enumeration. Space and lack of further knowledge command it. Those who have been left out, were not left out intentionally and we only wish that we could think of everybody. 92 v THE ECHO OF ATHLETICS 1922-1923 THE ECHO The Coaching Staff Mr. Edward D. Maginnis, S. J., coach of football, came to Seattle College this year from Spokane. He gained his knowledge of and experience in football at Gonzaga University in Spokane. Mr. Leo. F. McGreal, S. J., backfield coach in football and track coach, hails from Marquette University. He taught and coached at Gonzaga University last year. This was his first year at the College. Mr. William J. Dunne. S. J., coach of basketball, baseball and tennis, spent his school days at St. Ignatius College. San Francisco. He came to Seattle College this year. Mr. James Robinson, S. J., coach of the 110 and 120 basketball teams, comes from Gonzaga University. This is his first year at the College. 94 THE ECHO Football UNTIL three years ago football was hardly more than a minor sport at the College. Many years passed without so much as ventilating the moleskins and when teams were placed on the field they were generally inferior to even the weakest high school teams in the city. Three years ago, however, through the co-operation of Father Burke and the coaching of Charles Moriarty, and George and James McAteer, it was made the major sport of the institution. The 1923 team can. in spite of the success of the two former years, be rated as one of the best that ever donned the moleskins for the Blue and White. The playing was of a better quality, the coaching of a high standard, the spirit indomitable and the opposition more formidable. Much praise must be paid to the coaches, Mr. Maginnis, formerly of Gonzaga, and Mr. McGreal of Marquette. Night after night they worked out on the field with the squad and imparted to them the fight along with the knowledge, which produced the persistent and concerted action and dogged determination that showed itself in the games. The turnouts all during the season were good and an enthusiastic spirit prevailed. Every member of the squad fought for a place on the team and nearly every one was given a chance to show what he was made of in at least one game. Had not dame fortune taken an antagonistic attitude towards the gridders they certainly would have been a winning aggregation. But even fighting against odds and waiting for breaks that never came, the old College spirit of ânever say dieâ was manifest. The husky farmers of Kirkland can testify to the truth of this, for in the dying moments of the game with Kirkland the Panthers held the farmers for downs on the one yard line and saved the day. T hat is the kind of spirit that wins, the kind that had been drilled into the men by the coaches,, and if the same spirit continues it will not be long before the name of Seattle College will be feared and respected by every enthusiast of the gridiron. 95 % Photo by DcVry The Football Squad ft------------ THE ECHO After reviewing the seasonâs work the only thing that could be found lacking in the slightest degree was experience. The material which the coaches found on the night of the first turnout was for the most part green. 1'hose who had played during the two preceding years had graduated and very few lettermen were left. Manager Scholtes, however, arranged a schedule which gave the team the experience that will stand them in good stead in the coming season. With Lady Luck a little more favorable to us next year, we expect to see a majority of wins behind the name of Seattle College. The work of Captain Leo Burke at quarter-back and Maurice OâHearn at half featured the play of the backfield. Burke with his natural football ability, his admirable command of the team, his fleetness of foot and his fight, was always a thorn in the side of the enemy, no matter how formidable. When line plays were useless Burke could always be banked on to make a spectacular end run for good gains. But no more stellar was his play than OâHearn's, who incidentally was playing his first year of football. O'Hearn, a fast man and heavy, hit the line with a force that could seldom be stayed. Head down and jaw set he bowled over many an opponent and gained many a yard. With the experience he gained this year and the natural ability he displayed OâHearn should have a most successful season during the coming fall. We could not pass over the backfield without mentioning the old reliable Omar OâConnor. Every game saw OâConnor at fullback playing the same consistent ball, never spectacular, yet always there with the goods at the proper time, hurling passes, bucking the line, tackling, blocking or clipping. OâConnor. unless something unforeseen should happen, will be in the lineup next year. On the line Captain-elect Egan shone forth. Though he got a late start and was out on account of injuries Egan never gave up. Several times, though he was really too sick to play, he insisted on getting in the game and when he got in his opponent was in a sorry plight. Egan is the only man left who underwent Moriartyâs coaching in 1920 and 21, and he played throughout the season like the veteran that he was. 97 THE ECHO No less praise is due George Aucourt and Clarence Rock for their performance on the line. We might go on down the list and speak in similar terms of every man on the team, but, as space will not permit, the rest must be satisfied and content with the laurels they have won unsung, for after all the unsung hero is just as heroic as he who has his deeds flaunted far and wide. At the annual celebration of College Night letters were awarded to fourteen. The letter was the new block which had just been adopted as the standard for all major sports by the âS. C.â Club. The fifteen who received this coveted emblem of a season's work well done were: Captain Leo Burke, Cap- tain-elect Granville Egan. Maurice OâHearn, Edmund OâConnor, Clarence Rock, Frank Conklin. George Aucourt. John Paul. Joseph Penoza, Patrick Heney. William Fox, Ralph Ferrindini. William Kendall. John OâDonnell and Bertrand Curran. Royal Alexander and Welch Powers were a few periods short of the required number, but they will undoubtedly win their letter next year. The schedule arranged by Manager Scholtes included nine games, of which the College won but two. The results are as follows: Garfield ..19 . . Seattle College 0 Ballard ... 3 . 0 Queen Anne 6 . 0 St. Leoâs ... 0 . 18 Ballard . 38 . 0 Broadway ..19 . 3 Kirkland ... 7 . 13 West Seattle ... 7 . 0 Kitsap H. S. ...12 . 7 One hundred and ten points were scored against them to the forty-one they were able to count, but if the second Ballard game were dropped out it would not look so bad. Most of the loses were by close scores and the results show that what we have said in this article about fight is true. 98 THE ECHO Basketball HE SEASON of 1922 was undoubtedly the most success- ful year that basketball has ever enjoyed at Seattle College. The finest team that ever donned the blue and white represented us, and their record of ten victories and two defeats is indeed an enviable one. Remarkable teamwork, a varied system of attack, and a fighting spirit, marked the teamâs play throughout the year. The teamwork was indeed remarkable, for every man on the team forgot himself and his individual scoring record, and played with but one intention foremost in his mindâvictory. It is indeed doubtful if any other quintet in our fair city displayed teamwork to such a marked degree of perfection. The defensive play also left absolutely no opening for criticism. The five man defense, introduced by our coach, kept the opposition away from the basket consistently, and forced them to take most of their shots from the center of the floor. Yes, on the whole the offensive and defensive play of our team was beyond reproach and worthy of nothing but praise. Listed among our victims are such quintets as Garfield, Roosevelt, and West Seattle High Schools of Seattle; St. Leoâs High School of Tacoma, Kirkland High, and such independent teams as the Seattle Times, Lincoln All Stars. The Alumni, and The Blessed Sacrament Church. Our old jinx, Broadway, succeeded in squeezing over a victory on us by a 22-20 score. Kirkland High also wrested a hotly contested battle from us: but that was avenged later, when the farmers from across the lake fell before the Collegians by a score of 24-12. Although individual playing was entirely forgotten, the work of one member of the squad stood out throughout the year. This outstanding star was Ralph Ferrindini, who was playing his first year on the team. Ralph was the main cog in our attack and without him the teampiay would have been greatly diminished. Never once was Ferrindini outplayed by 99 100 Basket ball Team Photo by DcVry 1_____________t ⢠ THE ECHO an opposing center. He led the scorers with 110 points and held his opponents to mighty few baskets. His all around play caused favorable comment from every one. and every student of Seattle College is thoroughly convinced that he was the class of the high school centers of the city The work of Capt. McKay and Tommy Glenn at forwards was also of the highest order. McKay with his speed, natural ability and keen eye was a constant worry to opposing guards. Glenn is deserving of praise for the fight and spirit he displayed all through the season. Tommy is one of those athletes who plays to win and never quits fighting: that kind of a fellow is always bound to be popular. T he diminutive Bill Kendall, despite his size, was always dependable, running up a total of 91 points and playing a remarkable floor game. Bill is undoubtedly the smallest forward in high school basketball. and although he played against opponents who outweighed him by at least 50 or 60 pounds, he could not be stopped. But no less should we praise the work of the guards. T hey were responsible in the same degree as the forwards for the victories and shared with them the defeats. Ed. OâConnor. Granville Egan and Warren Siebold, never flashy but always on the spot when needed, watched over the College basket in every game of the season. These three turned in many exhibitions of how a guard should play. No matter who the opposing forwards were nor what their reputation, they were all checked with the same closeness and the same effectiveness by these Cerberi of the hoops. The success of the team is due for the most part to the work of the coach. Mr. Dunne. S. J. An experienced basketball player himself and a man intensely popular among the students, his untiring efforts could meet with nothing else but success. To him the team is indebted for the knowledge of the five man defense which worked so well during the season, and which held the opponents to such low scores. He not only built up a winning team for his first year but laid the foundation for many more by the establishment of ninety, one hundred and ten. and one hundred and twenty pound teams. He inculcated into these aspiring youths the same 101 THE ECHO system which he imparted to the first team so that whether he remains with us or not his system will remain to turn out more winning teams. Yes. indeed, we may well attribute our success during the past year to the efforts of our coach. And to him we can well apply the old motto, âNIL NISI OPTIMUM.ââ The compendium of the seasonâs games is as follows: Seattle College 25; Alumni 20. Seattle College 14; St. Benedictâs 29. Seattle College 39; Roosevelt High 20. Seattle College 20; Garfield High 1 1. Seattle College 21 ; Broadway High 23. Seattle College. 40; Seattle Times 12. Seattle College 24; Garfield High 21. Seattle College 19: Kirkland High 26. Seattle College 60; Blessed Sacrament Church 25. Seattle College 43; Lincoln All-Stars 25. Seattle College 29; St. Leoâs 18. Seattle College 32; West Seattle High 14. The total College points were 366 to their opponentsâ 244. The College has to its credit ten wins and two losses, a most creditable showing. 102 THE ECHO Baseball SEVEN victories and four defeats summarizes the success of Seattle College on the diamond during the year 1923. The team met a better class of opposition than ever before and showed itself capable of standing up and fighting with the best of them. Hard hitting, good pitching and fast thinking coupled with a brand of fielding beyond reproach spelt victory for the Panthers. With five regulars slugging well over .300 and with three pitchers able to stand all opposition on its head it is little wonder that Seattle College enjoyed one of its most successful seasons on the diamond. Probably the most impressive victory of the season was the game in which the Panthers defeated the strong University Freshmen by a score of 7-6. In this game more than in any other, they showed their real strength and at the end of nine innings of real baseball the Freshman nine bowed, for the first time in the year, to defeat. Earlier in the season the team traveled to Bothell and sent the coming farmers of that thriving hamlet down to defeat to the tune of 15-0. The Panthers had on their swatting clothes in this game and could not be stopped. Lincoln High School crossed our path and also met defeat, score 6-5. West Seattle High, leaders of the High School league, loomed up before us. but after a tough battle took the shorter end of a 6-2 score. The Northern Life Insurance Co. came out twice to do battle and twice went back badly beaten, while the Knights of Columbus, boasting a strong team, was spanked 20-3. Broadway High, with the old jinx working overtime, succeeded in slipping over two victories at our expense. It seems that we cannot beat Broadway: the jinx has lasted four years and bids fair to last that much longer. The Orange and Black spells defeat for us any time or at any place, but we hope to live to see the day when we drag them down to the depths they have so often sent us to. The Panthers started off well 103 The Baseball Team Photo by DeVry J -9- THE ECHO against the Pine Streeters and both times the pitching was above reproach, but in the later innings of the games as per schedule the Panthers went to pieces and booted the ball all over the lot. Queen Anne slugged a 14 to 7 victory over us, taking advantage of the only time of the year when our pitching staff went up in the air. 'The fourth defeat of the year came from the hands of the strong Bellingham Normal team. They won by a score of 5-0. That is the complete record of the Panthers on the diamond to the time of publication of the Echo. Several more games are scheduled, a record of which is not possible in this edition. The work of Manca on the mound and Leitch on first stood out during the entire season. Manca pitched wonderful ball, turning in most of the victories and losing but two games. He was never hit hard and lost only when his support wobbled in the pinches. Leitch. on the initial sack, turned in many a pretty play, time and again saving his fellow infielders from errors. Besides this his big club was in evidence in every game, driving in flocks of runs. Pinkyâ was the man whose hitting gave us the victory over the Washington Freshmen. Captain OâConnor handled second base in professional style and stands high in the batting averages. Leo Burke, the black haired flash, was the outstanding star in the outfield. Bjurke, a consistent ten second man, roamed all over the outfield, turning sure hits into outs and drawing prolonged applause and favorable comment from spectators everywhere. He also batted well over the TOO mark throughout the season and stole a good many bases. Besides playing a âbang upâ game around third and short. Tommy Glenn showed the boys how to hit, coming through with hits when they counted runs. âTruckâ Egan's work behind the bat was also of the highest order. He handled the pitchers well and few were the base runners who slipped anything over on him. âMoseâ Mullaly and Bill Ogden worked with Manca on the mound and deserve praise for their successful efforts. Hurley, Rock, Heney and O'Hearn in the 105 THE ECHO outfield. McCarron at short and Groseclose behind the plate did their part to win games, both in the field and at bat. Yes. indeed, a review of the season indicates nothing but success and a good deal of it was because of the untiring efforts of the coach. Mr. Dunne, S. J. Being popular with the students and having a knack of imparting his knowledge of baseball to others he turned out a team which was almost as victorious as the one he produced in basketball. Judging from his methods and the success he had this year we can see no reason why he should not conquer all opposition in the spring of 1924. Baseball came into its own in 1923 and all signs indicate that it will remain on the pedestal of victory for some years to come. Several new men were trained this year who will return for at least two years to come and with the new material which will undoubtedly report when the call is given each spring, there is no reason why we should take a back seat. A summary of the games and a few statistics are as follows: College 15 â Bothell High 0 6 â Lincoln High 5 6 â West Seattle High 2 5 â Broadway High 7 13 â Northern Life 4 20 â K. of C. 3 8 â Broadway High 10 7 â Washington Freshmen 10 â Northern Life 4 7 â Queen High High 14 0 â Bellingham Normal 5 106 The Tennis Team WI TH the completion of the intra-mural tennis tournament a team of six men was picked by Coach Dunne, S. J. The six in their respective order on the team were: Fox, Smith, Ferrendini, Carroll, Kendall and Stelte. Under the guidance of Mr. Dunne, S. J., and with the schedule arranged by Manager Fox, the team has had a very creditable season. The schedule included Broadway High, U. of W. Frosh, Lincoln. Franklin. Queen Anne, St. Martinâs College, Seattle Tennis Club, West Seattle High and Roosevelt High.

Coach: Monaglc, McKay, Burke, OâHearn, Bowling. Curran. Fingleton. and Manager Frank Conklin. FOR the first time in the history of the school, Seattle College was represented on the cinder path when a team of Blue and White was entered in the fourth annual relay carnival at the University of Washington Stadium, Saturday. April 28. The fact that the team placed second in class B, in the first year of its existence, proves that there were men of high calibre on it. When the relay carnival was announced some months ago. Manager Frank Conklin decided that Seattle College should make an effort to be represented; so he immediately set about securing entrance for a team in the event. He entered the team in Class âB,â which contained representatives from the University of Washington Freshmen, Bellingham Normal School. Pacific University and The College of Puget Sound. T he Panther runners had no cinder track on which to 109 THE ECHO turn out, so each afternoon found them sprinting on the hard surface of the athletic field under the watchful eye of Coach Leo McGreal. S. J. After a few weeks of practice a team of seven was picked from some twenty candidates. Of these seven, four were chosen to run in the Relay Carnival. O'Hearn and Burke ran the Hundred and these two with Bowling and McKay competed in the mile relay. The May issue of the Palestra commenting on the hundred yard event stated that Burke gave every ounce of strength in him that his school might place first. He crossed the tape at least a foot ahead of Wartes of the Frosh. The crowd cheered Burke: Wartes congratulated him: but the judges ruled Wartes first, Burke second and Hannah of Bellingham Normal third. It took the judges some time to make the decision and although it could not probably be helped there was a great mistake made.â The Seattle Times said that practically the whole crowd thought Burke the victor and the decision was a surprise. However, even though the College men did not place first the track team can be dubbed the most successful athletic team of the year. None of the men had had previous training and they had only a comparatively short time to prepare. And they were not competing against High schools. Their opponents were from Universities and Colleges of more than twice the size of our institution and were veterans on the cinder path. 'The three men who did not get a chance to show their wares at the University are deserving of much praise also. Their efforts to help train the four who did enter are not to be passed over. Undoubtedly they will be able next year to win a letter in this new sport at the College. 110 THE ECHO A cknow ledgmen ts THERE are several to whom we, as students of Seattle College and members of the institution, owe our thanks for help both material and moral. The year has been successful, but it would not have been so had it not been for those who have always been ready to lend a hand and help us over the rough spots which inevitably appeared. In the first place the students and faculty wish to thank those who helped to make the two publications, The Echo and The Palestra, a success. Our first consideration is for the advertisers who enabled us, financially, to issue these publications We can only hope that they have received an equal or greater value from their advertising than the cost and have been satisfied with our treatment of them. We have at all times tried our best to be courteous and considerate and have valued their patronage highly. We cannot run through a list of all those who have shown their good will towards us and we must thank them all in a general way. Our success, we hope, has offered them the satisfaction of time and money well spent. During the coming year we hope to have them with us again and we promise that we will make the best of any aid tendered us. Once again, then, we, the faculty and students of Seattle College, thank all those who have in any way aided or assisted us during the past year and helped us to make this year one of the best, if not the best, in the history of the institution. 111 v. a: ECHO QLEASE, gentle reader, pause and list awhile, A Before our virgin effort you review With here a tear and maybe there a smile; We hope our school-yearâs story interests you. This compact book portrays one fleeting year Of happeningsâof industry and play, And though you be far off. or with us here, You learn our whole year's life in but a day.
