Remember— THE ECHO 19 2 4 “One .lay a man an.I a chihl, with Thompson' 'twenty withered years' between, w ere walking along the beach. The chihl picked up a sea-shell and put it to his car. Immediately he heard the dole ful melodies of the sea, t h e harmonious sounds which seemed to emanate from nowhere. The child, with childlike curiosity, wanted to know the reason for the pleasant rumbling. ‘What is it? What causes it?’ Then, from his greater knowledge, the man instructed the child: 'In the shell are gathered all the sounds formerly unheard. the multitudinous harmonies which exist in the air; in the shell they are m a d c audible, and through the shell is communicated to y o u the Echo of the music before unknown.’ ” Published by THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS of SEATTLE COLLEGE Seattle, Wasi i ington 1 a Met of h rigors Page I'ore word ................................... 7 Dedication ................................... 9 The Year 1923-24 ....................'....... 10 The Faculty ................................. 14 'l'he Echo of the Classes ................. 17 Where Are We?................................ 41 To a Meadow-lark............................. 44 Bob ......................................... 4S A Dangerous Curiosity ....................... 49 Rest ........................................ 51 What Is Wrong with America?.................. 52 Transit Gaudium Mundi ....................... 54 The Echo of the Organizations............. 55 The Echo of Athletics .... 67 Ehe Echo of Activities .................... 95 Fhe Echo of Dramatics .................... 105 'l'he Mother’s Club ........................ 113 'Fhe Alumni ............................ 114 Farewell ................................... 117 Acknowledgment.............................. 118 How We Made the Annual..................... 119 Advertisers................................. 119 A Story .................................... 130 F ore word As the years roll by on the eternal sea of life we seek a quiet harbor to renew ►1(1 memories and live again the roseate yesteryear.

THE EDITOR. r 0 , To the VERY REVEREND JEFFREY J. O’SHEA, S.J. President of Seattle College Who by his fatherly care and continual effort has done so much for the School We Affectionately Dedicate This Book THE ECHO HSI The Year 1923-24 ANOTHER scholastic milestone lias been passed, and it is one that will always hold a prominent place in those sweet and cherished memories of school life. Time '' ill substantiate this for it is ever a verifier of quality. Primarily our school work during the past year has been above par. The College students in particular have made great strides in the pursuit of higher learning, and in the year that now confronts us we have every hope of having a complete and up-to-date College course, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The High School has long been a model institution, and each year secs the number of the graduating class on the increase. Fourth High this year, it is true, was slightly below in numbers last year’s graduates but next year’s crowd will renew the onward progress. In dramatics, the College Thespians, under the direction of Mr. Elliott, S. J., have staged two very interesting plays, which have portrayed to the fullest the talent and ability of the youthful David Garricks in the College. 'Fhe first play of the year was “The Dean of Railsbury,” a comedy with a pleasing action. It was one of the most successful plays, from a financial viewpoint, ever staged by the College. Fhe second was “ Fhe Witching Hour,” a play of the more serious type. Though not as much of a success financially as its predecessor, it was even a greater success dramatically. Among those who made names for themselves in dramatics can be found the names of half a dozen of the leading students of the College, and several of its foremost athletes. This demonstrates a pleasant versatility on their part. Fhe athletic successes of the year have been chronicled in another section. There is no need of repeating here the account of the credit they have reflected upon the school. But in our retrospect of the school year there is no doubt that they will hold a prominent place. Fhe figures we have known will arise in our mind’s eye, plunging the line in football, ringing in points in basketball and driving in runs in baseball. It is their memory that will keep the spirit of youth green in our hearts and their memory will recall more vividly than anything else the happy days of school life when those days arc far distant. Fhere was a happy combination of circumstances which combined to make all things successful in this year and the athletic success of the College, I’age Ton THE ECHO though by no means its most important, demonstrates well the all round progress. But wc are ahead of ourselves. In tin- beginning of the year came one of its most important events, the yearly Retreat. It was given by Father Joseph Stack, S. J., of St. Leo's, Tacoma, and was very fruitful and, let us dare to say, what is rare in a Retreat, really enjoyable. Father Stack has the knack of presenting the great truths of religion in a way which intrigues our interest and arouses our wills. Two of the most noteworthy events of the year were the first Oratorical Contest and the first debate with an outside team. The former was an unqualified success. The contest was close and the judges awarded the medal after a long deliberation. The quality of speaking manifested was a credit to the College and a credit to the students who participated. In the debate with the Badger Club of the University of Washington the College debating team lost by a two-to-onc vote and there seemed to be much dissatisfaction with the whole affair. It was not an auspicious beginning, but it was not so much the loss that hurt as the way the debate was carried on. However, this one occasion had no effect on the enthusiasm of the debating team and the society immediately began laying plans for next year. Of other events let us say there were many. This has been a rambling article, as was said before, but it will suffice to call up in quick review the events of the year. There are innumerable things of interest which have not been touched upon but they will be found in other parts of this book. But before we say farewell there is one other thing to record: the founding of the Seattle College Mother’s Club. Towards the end of the year several unselfish and generous ladies gathered together to form an organization of the mothers of the boys who are at present attending the College and of those who have ever been there. The mothers quickly organized, a couple of hundred strong, selected Mrs. O’Callaghan as president, Mrs. Logan as vice-president, Mrs. Glenn as secretary and Mrs. Pritchard as treasurer. Immediately they started their activities and already several events have been held for the benefit of the College. Too much praise cannot be given to the devoted mothers who so ably have come to the assistance of our Alma Mater, and too much honor cannot be given them for the manner in which they have started their work. 'Phis we think brings to a fitting end the history of the year. The existence of the Mother’s Club promises great things for the welfare of the College. Each year wc have looked forward to better things and have found them. Next year we will look even higher and we will reach our aims. Page Twelve i I he Faculty THE finest teachers on earth! That is the tribute paid by the world at large to that teaching organization, the Society of Jesus. Following the system of their great founder, St. Ignatius of Loyola, they have acquired, during their centuries of teaching in Catholic Colleges and Universities for boys, a reputation which none may equal. At Seattle College we have members of the Society for our teachers; a group of men who arc solid, clean and brilliant educators. YVe need add no more. The President of the College is, at present, the Very Reverend Jeffrey J. O’Shea, S. J. This is his third year as head of the College and his kindly and interesting personality has made him hundreds of friends. He has a reputation as an eloquent talker and as a philosopher, having taught for many years at Mt. St. Michael’s, the Jesuit Scholasticate. He teaches philosophy to the Junior and Sophomore classes and there it is easy to see that his reputation has been well merited. Rev. Francis J. Burke, S. J., is an oldtimcr in Seattle, this being his seventh year here. Father Burke is Prefect of Discipline, Moderator of the Senior Sodality and Moderator of Athletics. Rev. Augustus J. Coudeyre, S. J., is Prefect of Studies, and it is his arduous duty to keep track of averages, make up schedules, etc. Father Coudeyre also teaches French to the Junior class and to Fourth year High. Rev. Timothy Murphy, S. J., is professor of Fourth year High, teaching them Latin, English and Civics. He is a former president of Santa Clara University and a pulpit orator of renown. Rev. Patrick H. Dcignan, S. J., is professor of Latin and English in Second year High, division B. He is widely known throughout local circles as an orator and lecturer. Rev. William E. Smith, S. J., is professor of Physics in Fourth year High and of English in Second year High, division B. He is another old timer at the College, having taught Science here for years. Rev. Aloysius Stern, S.

Page Sixteen H- THE ECHO H88I Classes Each in its separate sphere, Yet all in one, They passed the pleasant year; Their labor’s done. 1‘ajfp Seventeen THE ECHO i ke College Department LAST year we announced the results for the first year of existence of the revivified College department, and this year we can tell of the great improvement the second year of life has brought to it. The number attending the College classes was practically doubled, and with the increased attendance, and greater familiarity with each other, the students went ahead by leaps and bounds. In every branch of school activity a considerable improvement was noticeable. But still there are as yet no graduates. Next year, it is to be hoped, and in fact it is practically sure that there will be the full four years’ College course and we will be able to point with pride to the first graduates of Seattle College in many years. May these graduates be the first of a long and unbroken line. The more men who graduate from Catholic colleges the more men there will be in the world who are thoroughly grounded in their religion, and completely capable of resisting those who would destroy the rights of Catholics. It is the purpose of the College department to complete the education that has been started in the High School; to round it out with an increased knowledge of the liberal arts. The Collegian receives a thorough course in sound philosophy; philosophy which will enable him to resist the agnostic tendencies of the day, which will give him the logic to enable him to answer in a powerful manner the clever sophists who abound in the world of controversialists. It is the purpose of the College department to turn out the completely educated Catholic gentleman. Before we depart from the College department there is one thing to be noticed. In their first year the College men on account of their fewness were unable to take the lead in school activities as was fitting, but this year there was no such lack of leadership evident. Encouraged by members and experience the Collegians were the leaders in every activity. Within the year they have created a true College spirit which we hope they will preserve untarnished throughout the years of their school life. They are to be sincerely congratulated on their great improvement and it is with great hope that we look forward to the coming year, the first of many in which Seattle College will come fully into its own. Phrc Eighteen Oft • THE ECHO umior THE Junior Class reconvened for their third year on September 10, 1923. The members of this class decided to accept the arrangement of the Faculty and form a single class organization with the Sophomores. At the first meeting of the two classes Howard LeClair, a member of the Juniors, was elected president of the joint organization. At the same meeting Maurice O'Hearn was elected vice-president and Edmund O’Connor, secretary-treasurer. Though the two classes functioned as a unit throughout the year, still the Juniors have maintained a separate identity. As a result the members were “dubbed the “Three Intellectuals, by their fellow students. 'Fhe three Juniors have distinguished themselves on several occasions by public appearances contributing at all times to the already enviable reputation enjoyed by the College. Notably they were present in the casts of the two plays of the year, the Oratorical Contest, Public Debates and the Commencement Exercises. Not only were they represented in intellectual circles but also in athletics. One of the members of this class served faithfully and with no little success as athletic manager. Elsewhere in this book will be found an encomium to Athletic Manager Stuntz wherein is told how he carried the never-dying spirit of the Junior class into athletics. It was not only in these activities of the school that the Juniors distinguished themselves. They were leaders in all other activities as well. The Echo and Palestra profited much from their contributions. They graced the rostrum at all meetings of the Student Body and Clubs and moved their hearers with their forceful and ornate oratory. Fhe Juniors joined the other members of the College Club on a two-day sojourn at Lake Stevens where, to use the trite phrase, a good time was had by all. Not satisfied with the outing as a fitting close to such a successful year the Juniors held an inspiring banquet at the Hotel Cowman. 'Fhe banquet hall was fittingly decorated in the class colors, maroon and white. 'Fhe leading speakers of the evening were Henry I vers, George Stuntz and Howard LeClair. Although reminiscences were indulged in, satirically, wittily, humorously and seriously yet the predominant thought was of the future. 'Fhe three men have chosen their life work and intend to devote the coming year to properly fitting themselves for the elected vocation.

Frank Conklin, who is working in Renton with the Standard Oil Co., and William Ogden, in the Oblate Monastery at Tewksbury, Mass., are the members who were missing on the opening day. Early in the year the class suffered the loss of three other members: Maurice O’Hearn and Van Christoph, now at Los Gatos where they went in response to a higher call, and David Melbourne, who left to pursue another branch of studies. The spirit of the class, its zealousness, both in studies and athletics, and its close co-operation strongly characterized it. 'Flu’s spirit stood out predominantly in everything they undertook. The class has always been heart and soul behind anything for the betterment of the institution. Each and every member of the class has his part to play in the activities of the College. The class placed two men on the varsity football team, two on the varsity basketball squad, and four on the baseball nine. One man, Bernard Scholtcs, gained fame as one of the five speakers in the first oratorical contest; another, Edmund O’Connor, was elected as president of the College Club; another, Bertrend Curran, headed the Senior Debating Society and Lettermen’s Club, while all had active parts in both the Palestra and Echo publications. On May 16th and 17th the class enjoyed one of the greatest outings of its history when they journeyed to Lake Stevens. Athletically the class was prominent, practically every member having a place on at least one of the varsity teams. All are experienced athletes and played good games. Flic future history of the class is very uncertain, as it is a question which only next year will settle as to how many will return. However, it is probable that the majority will find themselves once more within the walls of their Alma Mater. At the Debating Society banquet most of the class expressed their determination to return if conditions made it possible. We look forward with hope to another enjoyable year, with the class together, so it is to be hoped that conditions will make it possible for most to foregather once more when the next year begins its course. Those who leave us will be greatly missed, as all of the class have become valuable members of the student-body. Our years of effort have been thoroughly appreciated, and our presence will be gladly welcomed.

Yes, gentlemen, that describes him when it comes to learning—perhaps; but when it comes to activities we are speaking of something quite different. The class of '27 both knoweth and doeth in the activities of the school. Let us review their life in the year just passing away. It has been a long time since such a live class came to the College, though we say it who shouldn’t. When the papers announced dramatic productions, they announced the names of Freshmen (generally, anyway). Not only the players in the cast, but the boosters and ticket-sellers in the class would be leading the field. We are proud to boast of seven varsity football men ; four varsity basketball men, and three varsity baseball players. Practically every member of the class of '27 can sport a big S. C. And we have three gold stripes. Granville Egan captained the football team; 'Tommy Glenn, the basketball team, and last but not least, “Wee Willie” Kendall, the tennis team. Monaglc is captain-elect of next year’s football team, and the fighting Irishman will show them what real courage is. A member of the class was chosen as president of the student body, John Courtney, and his princely manners are enough to make any class proud. 1’hat is quite a list of achievements for one small class, and a list that seldom falls to the lot of Freshmen. However we have still some to go and there is no limits to our possibilities. 'The first year of our College life will soon be over, but don’t forget that we are the class of ’27. and in the years to come you will not be surprised at our feats. However, we have done our best for the College; we have worked hard for her glory; the one predominant thought in our mind has been, “will this serve our ‘Alma Mater?’” “Will that do her greater good?” In all things and in every circumstance we have worked for her, and we do not claim too much when we say that we feel sure that it has been largely through our efforts that the success of her undertakings has been what it was. College life is just opening before us. and the first taste has been pleasant. We hope that the days to come will be just as pleasant and that we will be able to look back upon every year with the same sense of achievement with which we look back upon 1923-24.

Still it is steadily forging ahead, and this steady progress augurs well for the future. The High School is the feeding ground of the College and on its success depends largely the success to he attained by the higher course. file work that is completed in the College is begun in the High School. There is laid the solid foundation of a thorough education. Though not in itself complete, still it gives its graduates the means to face life well prepared, and inculcates into them principles of sound morality and true religion. The noteworthy event of the past year was the accrediting of the High School to the University of Washington. It has been long accredited to the state, but accrediting to the University of Washington required a separate inspection by the University officials. Two professors from across the lake came over to the High School early in the year and after a thorough inspection declared themselves completely satisfied, and as a consequence the High School department was completely accredited. Of course the accrediting does not mean that the College authorities wish to lose their High School students when they enter upon their higher studies, but it will enable the High School graduates to obtain at the University courses of studies which conditions may make impossible at the College. The High School department has throughout the year loyally seconded the efforts of the College men to further the interests of the school, and by their steady and enthusiastic work have proved of invaluable assistance in assuring of success of many of the outside activities. As in the College, the continual improvement of the High School gives us great hope when looking into the future, and it is with considerable confidence that we anticipate the years to come. As the College so the High School is to be congratulated on its fine spirit and let us hope we will have its members back with us as a whole next year, that everyone may enjoy the results of the work which they have started. P.'ikc Twenty-nine HE ECHO .[ o urtli ][ ligl; o REV. TIMOTHY L. MURPHY. S. J. N the night of June 12th, the members of the Seattle College High School graduating class will mount the stage in the Holy Names Academy auditorium to receive their diplomas. At that moment their high school life will close and they will be ready for the wider sphere of College activities. They will stand forth as products of Catholic education and upon their conduct will depend the reputation of that system in the minds of those with whom they come in contact. When school opened after the summer vacation in 1920, about sixty boys, graduates of grammar schools in Seattle and nearby towns, registered for first year high. Each hoped to lead his class and to bring honor to himself and to the school which had given him his primary education. Owing to the size of the class it was decided to divide it into two sections; the larger, division A, being taught by Fr. Garrigan, S. J., and the smaller, division B, being placed under the direction of Mr. Glccson, S. J. The following year found Mr. Glccson, S. J., again at the head of division B, while division A was headed by Mr. Heney, S. J. Although a few new faces appeared in each class the majority of the students were acquainted with each other from the start, and, as a result, even greater progress was made than in the preceding term. At the beginning of the third year, Fr. Dcignan, S. J., presided over division B, and Mr. McGreal, S. J., directed division A. In November, however, the departure of Mr. Quevedo, S. J., for the South necessitated the consolidation of the two classes, with Mr. McGreal, S. J., guiding the destinies of both. As might have been expected the change interfered somewhat with school work, and the two divisions, which had long kept up a healthy rivalry, found it difficult to accustom themselves to the new conditions. Yet by the end of the term complete harmony prevailed. In union of aims the class pursued a smooth course. In this, its final year, the class had Fr. Murphy, S. J., for its teacher and he did much towards putting on the finishing touches to its high school education. So much for the events within the classroom. Outside this group has I'atro Thirty THE ECHO distinguished itself. In dramatics some of its members have shown remarkable ability, and no play has been put on without its representatives. Several students have won fame in speaking, both in competition with their fellow-students and in competition with those outside the school. In athletics the class has been unusually successful. In every sport where physical strength and mental alertness were essential, or where speed and accuracy were necessary, its teams have been foremost. On the diamond and on the gridiron, on the gymnasium floor and on the cinder path, men of the class of '24 have been prominent and have helped to bring victory to the College. For example the basketball team finished high in the inter-class race for three years, and as a fitting climax to its career, it swept through all opposition in the 1924 tournament and won without apparent effort. As a keen mind goes with a well-developed body, these athletes are almost certain of success in any line of mental endeavor. Such is the present graduating class of Seattle College High School. Soon they will pass out of the High School for the last time. Many, let us hope, will return next year to pursue their studies yet further in the College department, but never again may we expect to see the whole class united together. Some may seek other institutions of higher education, but most of those who do not return will find it necessary to enter immediately into the busy world of trade, there to put into practice the tenets that have been instilled into their minds by their years of Catholic training. And we may well expect that they will meet with abundant success in the world; for the education which they have received is essentially the same as the one which for centuries has been turning out the highest type of Christian gentlemen; men whose lives are molded upon the principles of honor and righteousness; men of character, with courage to do their duty and to hold unerringly to the path pointed out to them by their conscience. If these young men, so soon to enter the lists of the world, preserve the standards of their past, they need have no fear of failure. For them no task will be too difficult, no obstacle too great, while they arc spurred on by the memory of their early instruction. The teachers who have guided them during these four years, and the companions with whom they have associated, will all exercise a beneficial influence, and though their faces will no longer be seen, their words of advice and their sincere friendship will always be remembered.

However, a compromise was arranged, the officers were elected, and the school year was well under way. Jay Montgomery ruled with an iron hand as president, Patrick (Count) Harry, treasurer, kept tab on the boys’ spare change, and Francis “Min” Burns, the blushing youth, upheld the office of ye olde scribe.” Lome McCarron was elected sergeant-at-arms and took over the honors of opening the portals to Third High. “Elph” Burns and John Paul contributed the bulk and brains, respectively, to the varsity football squad. Paul, the flaming youth from South Park, and “Fat” McCarron were lured into the College baseball team. We must not, however, forget to mention those wise and witty persons who think up certain nifty cracks on the spur of the moment. Charles “Chuber” Tobin, the class jester, and Art Hen Hur” Flajole have kept up the spirit in this way. James “Cicero” Como and J. B. Hickman were the class exponents in oratory and debating. Charles Mahoney, Joe I vers and Gerald Young took part in this year’s elocution contest. Pierce, Lass, R. Young and F. CL Burns represented the class in the orchestra. James Christoph, A. Hein and Ray Young arc members of the Palestra staff. On the whole the class is well represented in every field of activity. The basketball quintet finished the season with a high percentage and the baseball team is the best in the noon league. The class picnic was a huge success. The boys, including Mr. Elliott, S. J., indulged in that most delightful pastime, namely, the manly art of self feeding, which is especially suited to picnics, chautauquas and the like. There was a big table filled to the. very edge with groceries, a pot of beans awaited assault, the ice-cream lost in the first round and the pop disappeared mysteriously. The hot dogs need not be mentioned. Beer (root, birch and iron) was served as an antidote. 'The struggle took place at Lake Stevens, Ascension Thursday and lasted two days. JAY MONTGOMERY Class President Page Thirty-four THE ECHO THIRD YEAR HIGH Jay Montgomery left for Alaska early in May and was unable to attend the class picnic but in a farewell speech lie gave his regards to Third High and Dan Foley took over the duties of class president. In conclusion, we take the opportunity of thanking our teacher, Mr. Elliott, S. J., who guided us through a most successful year and riveted the two classes into one. We also must thank Mr. Maginnis, S. J., under whose care we suffered little neuralgia from logarithms and the binomial theorem, and Mr. Semeria, S. J., who forced a little Spanish into the Irish blood and Father Coudeyre, S. J., who formed the opposition with a small but vehement group of Frenchmen. Fhc year has been a success and we look back with pleasure and look forward with hope. There is but a year of our high school life left and from the signs of the past it should be a pleasant one, fraught with profit and wholesome pleasure. We expect in the year to come all of our number to rejoin us in our next year's classroom and we know that together we will make a name for ourselves in the annals of the College. Goodbye, then, to Third Year and after a few months we will welcome our last year and begin to look forward to the College days soon to be ours. In the meantime, we are the class of ’20, enjoying life as it is and hoping to enjoy it more. Page Thirty-five Second. Oigli THE scholastic year 1923-24 found the former members of First High A class, with the exception of a few old comrades, again back at the College ready to take up their advanced studies under the tutelage of Mr. King, S. J., a newcomer to the ranks of the faculty. The first important event was the election of officers. Charles MacGregor and Joseph Logan, president and vice-president respectively of the old First A, were re-elected, as was “Buster” McKinnon, our efficient secretary and keeper of the key to the treasury. These officers led their comrades the first semester. At the mid-year the class gave them a well-earned rest; electing Harry Jahn, president; Robert Carmody, vice-president, and Charles MacGregor, secretary-treas-urer. Sylvester O’Donnell succeeded Jack Crane and remained in office until late in the year when he was forced to relinquish his post. Charles Schaar took his place. HARRY JAHN Class President I’.ijro Thirty-six s econul lligk 9 9 THE scholastic year of 1923-24 has proven to he a very happy and profitable one for the class. Mr. Flynn, S. J., one of the new members of the faculty, has proven that he can teach boys as well as guide and understand them. File first of the year saw Warren Moore in the president’s chair, John Mulally, treasurer, and Paul Malone, secretary. These officers did well until mid-year when they were succeeded by John Mulally, as president; Robert Marlotte, treasurer, and John Rums, secretary. The office of athletic manager was held by Charles O’Shea throughout the whole year. 'I'he class has been ably represented in athletics, having Roy Alexander on the football squad, and George Hurley and Dennis McLoughlin on the baseball team, while Charles O’Shea and Tommy Morgan played well with the Juniors. Denny McLoughlin also did good work in Junior basketball, while Tommy Morgan starred on the tennis team. On the Junior football team the following were conspicuous: “Chuck” O’Shea, Dennis McLoughlin, “Lefty” Lansing and Charles Shattuck. The year as a whole has been very successful in every line and we hope that it is a promise of better and bigger things within the walls of Seattle College. JOHN MULALLY Class President Page Tliirty-.sevon THE ECHO t irs£ I ligli 61A ? ? FIRST HIGH a is an even class; no drones, no laggards, no undesirables. It is comprised of thirty democratic lads, equally active and successful in studies and athletics, who are rounding out a profitable year under the direction of Mr. Edw. J. Coen. Class elections were held a few days after the beginning of school. Wilfrid Lord was elected president, being closely pressed by John Lyons, who was made vice-president. Paul Crane held the treasurer’s office until his departure when John Lyons assumed that position. Alexander Cain and William McEnery were made secretaries. The entire class has felt the loss of Tom Dempsey who has moved to California. Dempsey did well in studies and was one of the leaders in class athletics. Paul Crane was also greatly missed, and although he did not attend school here very long, he led the class in studies during that time. Several members of the class have begun to show real talent. Alexander Cain and Thaddeus Parolik were chosen as two of the best ten from the High School department for the Elocution Contest. Though experience and age were against them this year, it strengthens their chances for years to come. WILL LORD Class President Pago Thfriy-oight First High TO its early organization and to its united and unstinted devotion to school activities has been due the success that has attended the class in its first year at Seattle College. The officers, elected in the fall to guide, under the direction of Mr. Falvey, S. J., the destinies of the class, were Jack Meade, president; Kenneth McMullen, secretary-treasurer and Gerald Haughian, athletic manager. They were a fortunate choice and a contented class re-elected them at the mid-year. Kenneth McMullen undoubtedly deserves the scholarship honors, having held the highest average during both semesters, while Frederick Hoffman. Jack Meade, Thomas McHugh, Joseph Schlosser, Philip Smith and Frederick Krebs have all distinguished themselves with high scholastic standings. 'I'he class, after leading most of the year, won the Loyalty Banner. We feel that the smooth, pleasant year which has passed, promises a bright future for us at Seattle College, and that our class, so young in her life, yet so full of her spirit, will win a name for loyalty and service to its Alma Mater. JACK MEADE Class President Paso Thirty-nine •sSSS THE ECHO Page Forty “AROUND THE YARD” • THE ECHO W here Are VV e ? Hy Howard Le Clair BY WRITING in this strain it is not my intention to gain a reputation as a panic-builder or a confirmed calamity-crier, but while we prate of our progress and exult over our supposed civilization, it would not be an untimely question to ask ourselves just how civilized we are. We call the barbarian barbarous for the very things in which we outdo him. A barbarian to us is the uncultured, the unlearned man in his crude, savage state. We boast of our culture and learning; our culture, which says it is alright if you are not caught; that says to gaol the petty thief, but laud the clever millionaire who gluts his lusts at the cost of other people’s suffering; our learning, which teaches us how to trick our neighbor, how to dodge the law, how to frustrate nature. True it is, the barbarian cannot boast of such culture and learning, but he can boast of a knowledge of the moral law, and of a God who is utterly lost to millions who are deluged by the glittering flood of our gilt-edge civilization. Even among those in our “progressive” times, who do avow a belief in God, some forget that God exists all week as well as on Sunday. The man who goes to church on Sunday and sells bogus stock on Monday is more of an atheist than the barbarous human who bows his head to a dried snake or a petrified lizard. The woman who goes to church for the purpose of parading her Parisian finery, while pretending to follow the Nazarene, who “had not whereon to lay His head,” is a specimen of our hypocritical civilization. The most superstitious barbarian, no matter how peculiar his profession, is at least consistent. We accuse the barbarian of lack of refinement, and still we sanction successive polygamy, a state of affairs equal to, if not worse than, that of the harem. Men acquire and get rid of their wives, much as they do a pair of shoes or a pedigreed poodle. Marriage is one of the most sacred institutions on earth—so sacred that Christ raised it to the dignity of a sacrament—but our civilization is evolving into an unclean fraud. The home was established to be the throne of all devotion of the husband and wife, of the parent and child, but it is fast becoming a temporary boarding house. The wife, instead of raising a beautiful baby at home, is taking her Pekinese pup to a conclave of petticoat politicians. The barbarian is warlike and revengeful, and should be taught the principle of peace. Can we talk peace, when countries are casting cannon, building warships and battle planes, and concocting new poisons to hurl Paifo Forty-ono THE ECHO at each other in bloody war more cruel than a barbarian hand-to-hand encounter? Can we stop his revenge by teaching him our shrewd and clever business man’s code? The question urging our money-mad populace seems to be in every deal “what does it profit a man?” The remainder of the text is evidently “an epistle of straw.” If we assume ourselves to be on a level so elevated, why is it that our super-civilization has a superabundance of penitentiaries and a mass of over-crowded poorhouses, to say nothing of the ever-increasing number of criminals mingling with perfect freedom in our society? Because our refinement and culture has failed to create a respect for the law; because it has not brought to us mutual and reciprocal brotherly love. It is now fast becoming an established axiom that half of our lawyers and legislators arc dishonest, and that the integrity of the remaining half may well he questioned. This distrust of fellow-man is also a sign of the trend of the modern mind ; it demonstrates the suspicious viewpoint the public is forced to take because of the rampant deceit and shame of “outward respectability.” A man gets no more credit for making an honest living than for mingling in dishonest politics. Truthfulness is no longer considered a virtue, hut “admitted” to be a bothersome scruple. When presumptuous individuals tell us that there is no God, that we have evolved from the chimpanzee and that morals arc only acquired habits, we are inclined to believe that in the evolution they speak about they have lost more than their tails, and that if our present morals are acquired habits, it is about time our civilization cured us of them. Not content with disregarding the Deity itself, certain specimens of apotheothized assininity have the consummate audacity to suggest that parents be forced to send their children to schools where God is merely a superfluity, an accidental element, rather than an essential one. They would rob the parent of his flesh and blood; they would strip the home of every vestige of private sanctity; they would violate the sacred rights of citizens and deprive children of their just and natural claims. The barbarian may rob you of your baggage and violate your person, but to attempt to steal from you the right to your child? Never! History, we are told, repeats itself. If so, God help the coming generations. Look over the pages of time. We see the kingdom of the Jews, rich, prosperous and powerful. We watch it proceed; principled men arc thinning out; pleasure is more and more becoming the goal of the ill-fated Hebrew; finally the whole nation is in the throes of voluptuousness and vice—then with a mighty crash the kingdom falls, and when the drunken Pajfc Forty-two THE ECHO nation arises from its terrible tumble it finds itself a slave, degraded, despised and ruined. We see Greece, glorious and great, until jealousy and dishonor strips her of her virtues and leaves her lying wounded, to waste herself in desolate sorrow. Again we sec the mighty Rome, proudly perched upon her seven hills, smiling haughtily, even disdainfully upon a conquered world. The scene changes and we look upon a Rome of rottenness and a people of putrescent morals—a vanquished race, sacrificed to falsehood and infidelity. What then are we to expect in this hideous chapter of history? We can expect just what has happened to the other once-powerful empires. Already a decay is noticeable and fever is on the increase. What can we do? Where are we? And above all where are we going? Where we are going has been told. Where we arc has been told. What we must do is evident. We must go back to a genuine and efficacious belief in God; to a true conviction of the immortality and spirituality of the human soul. We must again realize deeply that we are accountable to the Almighty for our conduct here on earth; that there will be a reward for every good deed and a punishment for every unrepented transgression. To bring about the realization of these glorious things we must inculcate sound moral principles into the receptive youth of our country. The child of today is the man of tomorrow, and if given a character that is strong and clean, he will keep this nation strong and clean. What can we expect from a child brought up in an atmosphere of atheism and moral rot? How can we expect a child who believes in no Supreme Being to have respect for civil authority? How can we expect a child to have good morals when he has seen or heard of none but bad ones? However, do not mistake my stand. All the world is not on the edge of perdition. There are many who still cling to the genuine truths of old, whose actions are guided by the brotherhood of man under the Fatherhood of God. There are those who live irreproachable lives and follow sound and lofty principles. But nevertheless the fact remains that the general trend is a Godless one. and demands some serious thought and a speedy remedy. The best and only remedy is the strict observance of the Decalogue and the practice of the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity. Hence it is that we have today a responsibility of no mean magnitude; but though a heavy burden it will be lightened by the knowledge that the result of serious effort will bring about a new and better condition of affairs, that our own lives will be a credit to ourselves and a 1 ik Forty-throo THE ECHO benefit to others, and that at the end of the course we can expect an everlasting reward from Almighty God. We must press on to greater glories or see our national honors wither in an atmosphere of stagnation. A fervent faith in God, and a tenacious clinging to the principles of truth will lift us to a lasting pedestal of glory. 1 o a Mead ow-Lark From mottled throat, sweet meadow-lark, Again pour forth your honeyed song; Drive from my soul the clouds of gloom; C) sing for me the whole day long! With cheery note, untaught by man, An echo from beyond the sky, Still speak of Him you shadow forth, That I may live, nor fear to die! —George R. Stuntz, A. B. ’25. THE ECHO Bob By Ralph Ferrandini, H. S. ’24 BOB was of pedigree collie stock. His mother was the famous Sunny-dalc Queen, and his father was Laddie of Brookfield, the blue ribbon prize winner in the Kennelwood dog show. To look at him one would never believe it. He was a mangy, little, shriveled-up pup, the runt of the litter. MacTavish, the kennel tender, cared for the little one for three weeks and then, seeing no improvement in his health, sold him to Happy Dan, an old friend of his, for four or five dollars. Happy Dan was an old prospector, who years before had been Mac-Tavish’s trail partner. He had never forsaken his beloved wilderness, and despite the pleas of his friend and his advancing years, still lived in a small log cabin, hidden away in a secluded nook far back in the foothills. Four times a year he walked the ten miles to the nearest railroad, caught a train for the city, bought his supplies and returned once more to his familiar haunts and the solitary life which he loved so well. Happy liked dogs. His last one had died after a fatal fight with a porcupine, and so, while visiting MacTavish on one of his infrequent trips to the city, and overhearing him say that he would either have to sell Bob or drown him, he took pity on the helpless creature, purchased him and carried him back to his home. From the first day of his arrival in the woods, Bob’s health began to improve; his sickness left him, and for the first time in his short young life he began to romp and play. He would spend hours in futile pursuit of the numerous crows or blucjays which hung continually around the cabin, or make clumsy and ludicrous attempts to capture an occasional chipmunk or red squirrel which chanced to venture too near; his comical efforts resulting only in sending the indignant squirrel scampering hack to the safety of the trees, where it would sit chattering and scolding, loudly protesting the impudence and boldness of what it doubtless classed as an intruder. Inside of a month Bob began to show evidence of his pedigree lineage. He was no longer the sickly little creature of his arrival, but had blossomed forth into a well developed collie pup. Happy and Bob had lived together for a year and a half. Bob was a full grown collie. His wild, roving life had developed him into one of the most beautiful dogs Happy had ever seen. Happy loved the great collie and Bob adored his master. Happy was the only human being Bob had ever known; true, MacTavish had cared for him as a pup, but his earlier Page Forty-five life had long since been forgotten, 'l'he wilderness had transformed him and now claimed him as its own. He roamed the woods at night; and often as Happy lay awake in his cabin, a distant howl drifted in to him, wafted faintly on the gentle night breezes from far back in the hills. Happy knew it was Bob. He had come to know that sound. It was so different from the long, mournful howl of the wolf or the quick, jerky yapping of the coyote. It sounded like music in his cars; and as he listened it would come again, re-echoing through the hills fainter and sweeter, until distance made it mysterious and beautiful. With each night in the woods Bob was becoming more and more a creature of the wilderness, 'l'he only tie that held him to civilization was his love for Happy; and this brought him back each morning to the companionship of his aged master. Happy no longer locked him up when he left for supplies, but left the collie free to rove at will through the hills; yet always on his return he would find Bob waiting. During the last year Happy’s health had failed. His wilderness home still had the appeal which had called him back for so many years, but his age was beginning to tell, 'l'he long walk from the track was too much for his ancient limbs, and he arrived after each trip completely worn out. On Happy’s last visit to the city MacTavish had noticed the change, and he renewed his entreaties to have Happy come to the city, but they only strengthened the old man’s dogged determination to go back. Happy in a way realized his danger, for as he was leaving he reluctantly remarked that, as long as Mac had never seen his cabin, he might, if Happy was not back at his usual time, come out and take a look at the place. He gave MacTavish the directions and left. Happy arrived at the camp completely exhausted, too tired even to greet the faithful collie, which bounded joyously out to meet him. He staggered into the cabin and fell in a faint on his bunk. That night Bob stayed in the cabin and it was not until Happy awoke next morning that he left his master’s side. A little of Happy’s former strength gradually returned to him, and for three months the camp continued as of old. 'l'he supplies were getting low again. Happy’s usual time for leaving was drawing near. He knew that he would either have to make the trip or admit that his health was gone and wait for MacTavish to come for him. In foolish pride the old man determined to make the trip once more, and the next day he set off down the trail for the railroad. Before he had walked a mile Happy knew that he could never make it, and he turned dis- l’age Forty-six THE ECHO - consolately back, his pride gone and Ins spirit broken, lie would wait for Mac l avish and go back to the city. it was all that Happy could do to reach the cabin, and once again he staggered in and fell in a faint on his bunk. He awoke next morning too weak to rise. He was thirsty. His canteen lay on the floor where it had dropped. He called to Hob, and obedient to his command. Hob came and putting his forepaws on the bed looked inquiringly down at his master. Happy, pointing to the canteen, told Hob to “go fetch it.” Hob knew the meaning of these words. Hundreds of times before Happy had sent him with the same words to fetch some pheasant or grouse which he had shot and which had fallen in a thicket; but now when he heard Happy say them while lying prostrate on a bunk he was puzzled. He turned and ran out the door, and came back a moment later with a stick. Happy shook his head and repeated the command. This time Hob brought Happy’s hat, which lay on the floor near the canteen, and the third time he brought the canteen. Happy took it eagerly and gulped the water. Hob was delighted; he seemed to realize that he had helped his master, and for the first time, too, he seemed to realize his master’s helplessness. The rest of the day Hob spent in bringing things to Happy; kettles, pans, old shoes, pieces of wood and bark; everything he saw that struck his fancy he carried or dragged into Happy’s bunk. He even went into the few remaining supplies and brought Happy a loaf of bread and a large slab of bacon. The next morning Happy was strong enough to rise, and he spent the greater part of the day seated in front of his cabin smoking. MacTavish should be out today, he thought. He heard the remote whistle of a train. Mac had probably come on that train. He sighed, and as he looked at Hob a pang of regret shot through his heart. What would Hob do in the city? That beautiful, half-wild collie cooped up in the city! It was unimaginable. He arose and entered the cabin. He would have to have things ready for Mac when he came. He took a brand from the lighted fire-place intending to light a fire in the stove, but as he turned, he stumbled, fell heavily, striking his head on the table, and was knocked unconscious. The force of the blow on the table tipped the lamp and spilled its entire contents on the floor. The lighted brand Happy had in his hand fell in the oil and it immediately burst into flames. Hob heard his master fall, and running in, stood over him looking wondcringly down on him. Hob saw the fir in the middle of the room and watched it grow larger and larger with increasing nervousness. He Page Forty-seven 5SWW -CJc THE ECHO tugged at Happy’s shirt and ran to the door, barking excitedly. Then he returned to Happy and shook him vigorously. Happy did not move. The room was now filled with smoke, and the fire had spread rapidly. One whole wall was enveloped in flames. Hob rushed madly out again, barking wildly, and then, prompted by some strange instinct, or perhaps by his love for his master, he rushed in and seizing Happy by the shirt he dragged him out into the open and lay by his side, alternately licking his hand and shaking him, gently but vainly trying to awaken him. The cool air revived Happy and he regained consciousness. Hob saw him move and snuggled up closer. Happy lay still trying to recall what had happened. As he lay there he heard a distant shout. He wondered vaguely who it might be. Then he heard the crackle of the flames and the whole thing came back to him. He remembered his falling; it must have been the brand that lit the fire; yet how did he get out of the cabin? Hob must have saved him. He heard another shout. That must be MacTavish, lie thought. He probably took the wrong trail at the crossing. Happy was too weak to shout; he wondered if Hob could find Mac. He could try at least, so he pointed down the trail and said weakly, “Go fetch him, Hob. Hob looked down the trail, but did not move. Happy repeated his command, and then Hob, before Happy’s astonished eyes, ran to the cabin and disappeared in the flames. Happy tried to rise but he could not, and as he watched, the roof sagged and caved in with a sickening crash. Then out from under the smoldering ruins crept a burnt and blackened figure. It was Hob. Slowly and painfully, his hind leg dragging helplessly, he crawled towards Happy. Closer and closer he came and with a last despairing effort he reached Happy’s side and dropped something in his master’s hand. Happy looked at it. It was the canteen. There were tears in Happy’s eyes as he looked down at his noble collie, but even as he looked, with one last, lingering gaze at the only human being he had ever really known or loved, Hob died. Page Forty-eight - THE ECHO - A Dangerous Curiosity By Michael Monagle, A. B. 'll AMONG the many objects of curiosity which threaten, not only the life of the proverbial cat, but the human soul as well, there is one which “amuses” and “fascinates” a certain class of the shallow-minded and light-hearted who have not the slightest realization that it is really threatening the peace of the soul. Such is the interest shown in hypnotism and in every species of hypnotic phenomena. Although hypnotism was cherished and guarded as a sacred power by the ancient Egyptians and Indian magic-men, it was not until the time of Mesmcr that any great interest was shown in the so-called “animal magnetism.” The German physician proposed that there exists a subtle, magnetic fluid universally diffused and consequently present in man. “It is by means of this fluid,” he said, “that we act upon nature and upon other beings like ourselves; the will gives motion to it and serves to communicate it.” But this opinion was rejected by the commission appointed to examine his theory. In 1815 James Braid, in an effort to substitute another theory for that of Mcsmer, maintained that “animal magnetism” was produced by purely physical means, “consisting in fatiguing the eye and, by the same means, in fatiguing the brain.” From that time on, this mysterious “animal magnetism” was universally accepted under the name of “hypnotism” owing to Braid’s contention that the state was one of sleep. And so today it is looked upon as a species of artificial nervous sleep. However, this does not fully explain the phenomena which occur during that sleep, though it gives us something more definite to work with in our consideration of the innumerable hypnotic phenomena. The subject moves, under the command of his controller, his feet, hands and other members; or he will hold them rigid; he rises, sits down, laughs, cries and performs to the letter whatever the hypnotizer desires and suggests. Now to assign a cause to these effects, has been a long-standing difficulty, nor do we presume in this very brief paper to put an end to all the mysteries which surround such phenomena. There arc some effects manifest in a hypnotic state which arc certainly above the power of any natural causes; with these we do not intend to deal. But there arc surely other effects, such as those cited above, which may be explained by purely natural causes, and consequently we should not have recourse to the preternatural. In every case of hypnotism we may distinguish two sets of actions, the physical and the psychical. 'Flic physical actions are those by which the 1’ajjC Forty-nine :: THE ECHO ■- sleep is produced and generally consist in a few light passes of the hand before the eyes of the subject, or rubbing by continued pressure, the temples and forehead, or in any action which will fatigue the eye. When the eye becomes fatigued, the brain follows suit and thus the sleep is induced. This process, although strange, presents no great difficulty, since we know that the ordinary state of sleep is the result of fatigue, the difference being that in the natural state, sleep comes of itself, without much effort on our part, and gradually; while the hypnotic sleep comes suddenly, and only when the subject surrenders liis u'ill to the hypnotizer. As in the natural so in the artificial or hypnotic state, sleep is due to the fatigue of the central or common sense, an internal organic faculty which perceives, distinguishes and synthesizes the actual operations and affections of the various senses. That all of the senses do not become entirely inactive is not surprising, for even in the natural state of sleep, though not of common occurrence, still it is not unheard of that one or more of the external and internal senses remain at least partially active, though the subject be deprived of consciousness. This leads us to the second class of actions which occur during the hypnotic sleep. These arc psychic in their nature, and consist in the reception of the suggestions of the hypnotizer and in their fulfillment. That the subject is able to receive these suggestions seems natural enough if we consider that being reduced to the artificial state of sleep by a very sudden and unnatural process, it is likely that many of the subject’s senses will remain active just as the sense of hearing remains at least partially active in the natural state of sleep. The imagination also, as in dreams, probably remains partially active, and is thus able to receive the impressions given it by the sense of hearing, of taste, of touch and smell. In most cases, since the sleep is produced through the fatigue of the optic nerves, the subject’s sense of vision will remain inactive, and these being connected with the whole nervous system, the subject goes through all the antics which the hypnotizer desires him to perform. There are many today who hold up hypnotism as a great scientific discovery, maintaining that its value, especially to medical science, is increasing day by day, but Our Holy Mother, the Church, tolerant and yet wise, holds up Her hand in warning. She condemns not the uses, but She absolutely forbids its many abuses. When it enters into the preternatural it becomes a menace to the soul; if used for medical purposes, it is only per mitted when, in the minds of prudent and virtuous physicians, it is absolutely necessary. Hut the greatest evil coming from its practice does not lie here. True it may, in exceptional cases, be of great value, but when it is held up before an unmortified, time-wasting audience, it becomes, in our eyes, a dangerous curiosity. !’: « • Fifty THE ECHO •« - jRjest Draped in gold and purple and pink Is the feathery western sky; The jaded sun begins to sink; The day is ready to die.

B. ’25. m THE ECHO jPrize Wimniig Oration In ike I irst Annual Oratorical Contest WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA? Henry 'I'. I vers, A. B. ’25 IN every day, in every age, from the dim, distant pages of history to our own time, we find a record of crime, graft, debauchery. Frequently, but none too often, we find some saving influence overcoming evil. More often we see nothing but a wake of misery and failure and the need of this saving influence. We Americans are passing through such an age, an age tainted with lawlessness and immorality. Look about you. Witness the spreading evil of divorce, the rank intolerance of bigotry, and the laxity in the administration of the government. Consider the ever-increasing number of murders, robberies and other unmentionable crimes. Consider the spirit that prevails. This widespread lawlessness and immorality has assumed the proportions of a most important national problem. The inability of law enforcement officers to demand and procure the observance of statutes, the open dishonesty and corruption of these same officers of the law and men in public office and the general contempt for authority on the part of the people at large arc beginning to perplex our deep thinking citizens and to bring forth aimless tirades of words from the shallow minded. Blame has been laid everywhere but in the right place. The after-math of the war, the cycle of history, the result of the Prohibition Law are given as possible causes. Our institutions of all natures have been attacked with a seeming orgiastic glee until some more hold than the rest have with incessant regularity aimed blows at our most sacred possession—the Constitution. They deplore the idea of a written law especially when, as they claim, it is faulty. They cite for us the degraded, trashy, ignoble character of our average statesman. They analyze the rottenness of politics, the security and prosperity of political bosses and the progressive degeneration of political machines and assert that they arc due to the Constitution behind which all this depravity hides from the sight of the American people. Graft is inevitable, they say; crime must be rampant so long as this centipedal mandate guides the destinies of the largest free nation in the world. What is wrong with this United States of America? Certainly she lias not always scoffed at law as she does today. Is it the aftermath of the war? Every war has an aftermath but none has ever produced a I’agc Fifty-two THE ECHO situation to parallel the present. Is our Constitution at fault? Has that document, first conceived in minds enlightened by a divine patriotism and first written in the blood of patriots, after leading thirteen colonies from a mere settlement to the pinnacle of power and esteem, suddenly become a failure? No; it is the spirit that is abroad. The conscience of America is dormant, insensible, paralyzed. Those principles of Chris- tianity. simple and beautiful, once elevated it to noble heights and spurred it to great deeds. But these principles have been cast aside as burdensome, harrowing, scrupulous. Losing these, conscience gradually fell back to its pagan state where it was sustained the while by common decency and an innate sense of right and wrong. But now, today, it has been shorn of even that flimsy cloak, that last vestige of activity. It has been chloroformed, bound, gagged, handcuffed and shackled that it might not even make the slightest protest. Behold the average man in public life today, the average business man, the man we place on a pedestal—until someone tears away his sham. His god is the almighty dollar. Its attraction is so magnetic, its brilliance so dazzling, that he loses sight of all law, all ethics, all religion. Behold him when he starts out on his career. At the top of that rugged ascent where used to shine the sun of success, its brilliance measured by esteem, faith and honor, the results of good deeds and noble accomplishments, now shines with a luring light, the dollar sign. The brilliance is no longer measured by good deeds and noble accomplishments but only by the amount of money that can be accumulated. And that man with this vision before his eyes during that long and hard ascent will resort to anything to attain his end. He cares not what happens to those he casts out of his way. The misery he spreads does not worry him. He forgets what principles he knew. His passion for the dollar becomes supreme. Find me the unscrupulous politician who grows secure and prosperous, the shameless scoundrels in public office or private business who graft and debauch and I will show you men who do not hide behind the Constitution and seek its faulty construction as bulwarks, but men who have stifled their consciences, men who have lost sight of God and religion, men whose passion for the dollar has become supreme. And we are all aiding and abetting that spirit. We are treating crime and graft as humorous. Our cartoonists are making widespread mirth out of that which should arouse indignation. Our newspapers blaze forth glaring headlines of every scandal, every crime, and describe them to their minutest detail. And above all we are idealizing the criminal. Not the petty thief, ah, no. For him we have the courts of I’ugc Fifty-three ill- THE ECHO - justice. But the man who can conceive and contrive colossal crimes and place himself outside the law we deem clever. We sympathize with him should he be in danger of apprehension. We are encouraging men to pattern themselves after that prince of deceivers—Satan—when we should look to Christ. That is what’s wrong with America. The principles of Christianity must again take their place in the heart of the American man. His conscience must he given that animating impulse and supreme sustaining power. He must turn his mind to something more valuable than the heaping of dollars and he must feel a responsibility more far-reaching than man-made law. Let us awake from this spiritual lethargy into which we have fallen and. just as our forefathers of old with that unconquerable and overwhelming spirit rent asunder the ties of tyranny, throw off the influence of this money madness which has deadened our conscience. Then and only then will crime be on the wane; will graft reach a minimum. Then and only then can we say that there is nothing wrong with America. 11’am sit Gaudnam 3inmr!i Enjoy, O friend, the rushing, swirling dance; For what care we how flying life is spent: Death is eternal when the thread is rent; And wild, fantastic leaps our joys enhance!

Tomorrow naught—today the giddy dance! “Too late for God!” When death has come ’tis true: The wasted hours, the wild-spent days and years, The fleeting seconds of an aimless quest, Leave only sighs and harsh, despairing tears: Too late for God when life has passed from you! ’Tis time for God when life is at the crest.

I’ajje Fifty-live THE ECHO Organizations THIS year’s division of The Echo into sections representing organizations and activities is purely arbitrary and is based more upon convenience than upon a difference in the branches of activity of which there is question. Still there is a division of a kind. 'Flic organizations arc: The College Club, the two Sodalities, the two Debating Societies and the Letter Club. These represent more or less the interior activities of the school, and arc of the club order. Of course The Palestra and Echo staff are laboring on interior activities also, but they could hardly be classified as clubs in any sense of the word. The purpose of the organizations is to form a body of young men especially anxious to attain some one end. The College Club and the Letter Club are working assiduously for the betterment of both athletics and scholastic standing at the College, while the Debating Societies are furthering the cause of public speaking for those interested in this art. The two Sodalities have an unique purpose of their own. They are to encourage the practise of Christian virtues in those boys judged by the faculty Moderators to be most worthy of admittance. It is, though one of the least ostentatious, one of the most important organizations in the whole College; in fact it can be justly called the most important, 'flic holding up of an organization as one to which admittance is to be sought, and which has such lofty aim helps greatly to preserve a high standard of morality among the boys. Thus all the organizations have their specific object, and all of them do incalculable good to the College. Each in its own little field, or great field, does its work for the good of the whole and thus the College goes ever forward. Another purpose of these “clubs” in general is to moderate the monotony of school life. Activities are carried on by their means which would grow wearisome if transacted in the ordinary routine of the classroom. They need no apology, but it is well to explain the purpose of their being, and it is well to tell how completely they attain their end. In the following pages one can read in detail, we hope not too tiresome, the work of the different bodies. Most of it is perhaps of little interest to one who has not participated, but all of it is of vital interest to those to whom it tells of a good part of their year’s work. I’fliff Fifty-six THE ECHO I Le College CLuL EDMUND O'CONNOR THE latest organization formed at Seattle College is known as The College Club, and is for members of the College department only. Officers were elected early in the term. After a spirited campaign Edmund O’Connor was elected to the presidency and Henry I vers was chosen as Secretary-Treasurer. A House Committee was also appointed. It is composed of Wm. Kendall, Howard LcClair and Granville Egan. The clubrooms arc situated on the third floor. Here may be found a miniature library, pennants of all shapes, sizes and colors, and pictures of former athletic heroes. A large moose head hanging on the wall gives a rather “all sports” atmosphere to the club. The athletic manager’s office is also situated here and that busy official often may he found working diligently at his private desk arranging schedules for our various teams. The windows are beautifully draped with lace curtains. From these windows a picturesque panorama may he seen which it would he hard to rival in any other city in the country. At first sight one notices Seattle’s most beautiful boulevard. Interlaken, winding here and there through stately trees. Farther down sparkling waters dotted with small boats and pleasure craft greet the eye. As 1 write, a long thin line on the water, and the far-off dip and sparkle of oars show that the “Husky” shell is passing through the waters of the canal to the broad expanse of that most pleasing of lakes, Lake Washington. Directly opposite lies the campus of the University of Washington. And as a background for this beautiful scene rise the lofty eminences of the snow-crowned Cascades. Joining the manager’s office a frescoed portal opens upon a large lounging room where the College men find relaxation after the dreary hours of school routine. At the first meeting of the year all of the Alumni were made honorary members of the Club, and they are invited to partake of its comforts at their first opportunity. Pago Fifty-seven ffil- THE ECHO RESUMING its activity of the previous year, the Senior Sodality held its initial meeting in the early part of the first semester and elected its officers. These were announced at the next meeting. The officers were Henry I vers, prefect; Howard Lc-Clair and George Stunt ., assistant prefects, and Bertrend Curran, secretary. As every society is composed of men bound together to attain some definite purpose, so this Sodality of the Blessed Virgin has for its purpose the furthering of a greater veneration for the Holy Mother of God, together with profiting by the holiness of our Heavenly Mother. She serves us as a guiding light towards salvation. Such an organization, if living up to its ideals, cannot have effects other than wholesome and edifying. And we feel that the fact that we are members of the Sodality has done us good, and the fact that there arc Sodalities in the school has been a source of much benefit to the school in general. The Sodality has passed through a very successful year, but the success of a society like the Sodality is not so much in outward progress as in inward progress. It is the quiet and steady work of the Sodality to make better men out of us. Pnjfc Kifty-ciifht Jumior 'Sodality Prefect—Antonius Hein. Assistants—Patrick Barry and John Taylor. Consultors—Joseph Logan and Gordon Wayne. Secretary—Francis I )ugan. IF the obtaining of our own salvation is our greatest work on earth it follows that a study of those spiritual things which most directly bear on that work is the most important of all studies. Hence it follows that in our school days there can be no organization more important than that which above all directs us to a higher spiritual life and which gives us the surest means to attain our great end. The Sodality of the Blessed Virgin most assuredly attains this twofold object of our earthly existence; it supplies us with the most tried and unfailing means of reaching the better things of life—devotion to our Blessed Mother Mary; and it assures us of the greater reward which she herself promises to those who invoke and honor her. Through the Sodality “Christian youth everywhere is taught to strive after the height of Christian perfection and to press forward to the goal of eternal salvation.” ANTONIUS HEIN l w Fifty-nine THE ECHO The Letter Cluah THE Seattle College Letter Club was formed in the fall of 1922 for the furtherance of the spirit of athletics in the school. And during this past year it has continued its work on an advanced scale. At the first meeting of the year the constitutions were revised and officers elected. Bcrtrend Curran, three-year star in football, was elected president; William Kendall, basketball and tennis letterman, was chosen vice-president, and Michael Monaglc, football star and captain-elect of next year’s team, was e 1 ec ted sec reta ry-treasu re r. The club is primarily an organization to raise the standard of athletics, and to promote a stronger friendship between those who have earned a letter in a major sport. It is also cementing'the tie of harmony and good-fellowship which already exists between the faculty and the athletes. Any student who at any time has earned a letter in a major sport is automatically made a member of the club and is entitled to share in all its benefits. The club membership now totals twenty-eight men at present attending the school, and with the passing of the years bids fair to become one of the most powerful organizations in the College. A few years ago, when the athletic teams of the College were on a lower level, letters were not awarded and the College athletes were little known; but now, since its teams are recognized throughout the city and the state, the Letter Club has adopted a block letter, which has met with the approval of the faculty and students, for each of the sports. It is the ambition of all the younger fellows in the school to earn their S. C. and be admitted to the select number which is now enrolled in the big S. C. Club. Hope springs eternal in the younger breast that some day they may be the object of such envious eyes as they themselves are now casting upon the proud wearers of the College emblem. BERTREND CURRAN Pajrc Sixty-one THE ECHO - Senior Debating THE Philalethic Debating Society of Seattle College, comprising all the members of the College department has another successful year to its credit. Due to hard work on the part of its Moderator, Mr. Dunne, S. J., and to the faithful co-operation of its members great advances have been made in the forensic art, and not a few able speakers have been developed among its numbers. In looking over the minutes of the Society for Howard le clair the year 1923-24 we find that much has been ac- Debatc Team Captain complished by the Society. Tile first meeting of the year was held on September the 14th, the presiding officers being Senators Bertrend Curran, George Stunt , and James McLaughlin, as president, vice-president and secretary respectively. At this meeting the constitution was read, business discussed and new members were sworn in. From that date on debates have been held weekly, with the exception of some few unavoidable postponements. Many heated discussions over both local and international topics have entranced the members. A few of these questions were, The World Court, The Ruhr, Recognition of Soviet Russia, Immigration, Elective Sales Tax and Muscle Shoals. Following each debate there was “open house,” in which individual members gave their impressions of each question. As in accordance with the constitutions, the mid-year election of officers was held on February the 4th, on which date also the members gathered around the festive board and partook of the semi-annual banquet given at the Elks’ Club. The newly elected officers were Senator Harry Ivers, replacing Senator Curran as president; Senator William Kendall, vice-president; Senator Albert Fisher, secretary, and Senator James Logan, sergeant-at-arms. One of the biggest steps taken towards the advancement of debating at Seattle College was the forming of a debating team for outside competition. It comprises the most capable speakers in the Society. The six members of the team were Howard LeClair, captain; Henry Ivers, George Stunt ., Bernard Scholtes, Thomas Glenn and Bertrend Curran. Owing to its late start only one public debate could be held this year, but great things are looked forward to along that line next year. WP Pago Sixty-two THE ECHO ;e Junior Debating THE Junior Debating Society enjoyed a most profitable year. The weekly debates afforded the students an excellent and much-needed training in the art of public speaking. The administration of the Society was remarkably free from friction, and with the fine spirit and genuine good-will shown by all concerned, the Junior Society could not fail to be the success that it was. The offices of president and vice-president were held in the first semester by Lawrence Booth and Earl Gerdon, respectively; in the second semester by Neil Smith and Harold Ford. Francis Berger kept the minutes throughout the year, while Ralph I'errendini and Norman Donohue shared the office of sergeant-at-arms. Fhc purpose of the Society, as set forth in its Constitution, is, “to train its members in debate and public speaking and to acquaint them with parliamentary procedure. Meetings and debates were held weekly in the assembly hall. The questions covered a wide range of subjects. Questions of local interest concerning school athletics and administration, questions concerning civic and national topics, and to range further, those concerning foreign policies were included. Perhaps the most interesting event of the year was the mock trial in which Harold Ford won a suit of damages against Louis O’Callaghan for an injury sustained in a game of basketball, claimed to have been due to carelessness on the part of Mr. O’Callaghan. Well-prepared speeches, coupled with thorough and systematic examinations of the witnesses by the lawyers on both sides revealed the fact that the Society was possessed of real legal talent, though said talent is yet in its embryonic stage. The witnesses, too, benefited by their experience on the stand, and all the members of the Society by the instructions they received in the methods of court procedure. 'Flic trial, which covered a period of two weeks, was presided over by Mr. Henry I vers and the jury was selected from other members of the College department. NEIL SMITH I’aire Sixty-throe •C?.o THE ECHO i ke Orckesfra ONE of the College’s many successful years has just been finished, a year in which great strides forward have been taken in nearly every line. And now as we look back over the brilliant successes of the different activities, and their splendid achievements we have nothing but praise for the earnest efforts manifested; but there is one branch of the Student Body which hardly receives the attention which it has so richly deserved, that is the Orchestra. True, it has received favorable comment and hearty applause at every public appearance, and these demonstrate that the College is sincerely proud of its Orchestra, but few realized the hard and steady work on their part which made that pride possible. We must confess that the absence of some of the old familiar faces from our ranks at the beginning of the year made us a little anxious as to whether the Orchestra could maintain the enviable reputation it had made for itself. But the crowd of new faces that came to fill the vacancies gave us greater confidence, and the exceptionally willing spirit displayed by all the members made us certain of success. Then despite the many times the Orchestra has played for College functions they have always given a sparkling and pleasing exhibition. Even to those interested in its activities, it may come as a surprise to learn that the College Orchestra has performed in public over twenty-five times and has accommodated itself to the most varied audiences and circumstances. At all times its loyalty has been the keynote of its success. No matter how great the inconvenience, how troublesome the engagement the members have always striven energetically to put forward their best efforts for the occasion. But in our praise for the students and the work they have accomplished let us not forget the earnestness and patience of Mr. King, S. J., whose thorough knowledge of music has made all this success possible. The deep knowledge which he has instilled into the members of the Orchestra has borne fruit and has resulted in one of the best organizations of its kind in the city. MR. king. s. J.

Panto Sixly-sowii THE ECHO AtMetic Activities HE swirling pigskin mounting through the clear, autumnal air inaug- urated. in late September, the most satisfactory athletic year the College has enjoyed. During those days a score of football devotees could be seen prancing energetically over the field. The Varsity, a capable aggregation of determined, clear-eyed youths, appropriately entitled Panthers, obeyed with methodical precision the commands of that autocrat, the quarterback. Under Mr. Maginnis, S. J., the alert mentor, our football team perfected a system of efficient plays calculated to make many a high-school coach gaze with sad eyes upon the rout of his prides. After a month of conscientious labor the team went on the battlefield, waging war upon all who barred their path to victory. Seven games were played, of which the eleven won three, and in one the honors were even. The Juniors, with Mr. Falvcy, S. J., presiding over their activities, upheld their honor on the gridiron by taking on all the teams of their weight, or any other weight, with which they could arrange games. The student body co-operated well with the teams, and at the Roosevelt first team game a large turnout of loyal students gave a fine exhibition of College spirit. In time basketball held the undivided interest of the students. The Varsity, intact after last year’s successful season, gave promise of even greater achievements. After a slow start the quintet awoke from its lethargy, blazing a new trail across basketball annals. Columbia University established relations and our hoopsters were victorious; Spokane College also came and left defeated. A live-wire bunch constituted the hoop squad this year. All credit is due to them for their magnificent showing. The Juniors, following their successes in the game of brawn, were equally fortunate in the game of skill, their most notable victory being over St. Leo’s of Tacoma. The Midgets proved to be a powerful team, winning by far the majority of their games; while the Bantams, a plucky aggregation of the smaller lads also won a majority of their games and a few of their stars will certainly become members of that “great constellation of bright fixtures” of which the College boasts. The whole school played classy basketball, a wonderful interest being taken in this sport, which threatens to take the envied place baseball has had in the hearts of the students. Fourth High won the school championship, having a well-balanced team with much pep and some fancy floor-work. At last winter’s dark cloak, withered by the sun’s strengthening streams, l’age Sixty-eiifht THE ECHO -«oOO— was sold to a junk-dealer, and spring, joyous spring, returned, bring April showers, May flowers and baseball. Baseball has an allure quite unfathomable; perhaps it is because the very elements conspire to make it the most delightful of pastimes. However, those attending the school, bubbling over with vim. vigor and vitality did not pause to ponder the riddle of that allurement but jumped whole-heartedly into the abyss of flying baseballs, sore arms, mashed thumbs, sprained ankles and soaring ambitions. At the present writing the Varsity presents a problem. The material though peppy reflects somewhat an emerald shade, and Mr. Dunne, S. J., presents an aspect which bodes ill to those unfortunate diamond stars who suffer a slump. We of the school believe the team is there, and we are confident that as the season advances improvement will be continuous. The Juniors are furnishing their elders with competition and are giving them a good tussle whenever they meet. We have but to finish the baseball season well to hang up a record at which future teams may shoot. 'I'lie athletic seasons were most satisfactory. The teams didn’t win every game they played, far from it, but we consider the team-work manifested and the good sportsmanship shown as proof abundant of a most successful year. ! «««• Sixty-nino THE ECHO I lie Managers ATHLETICS as a mode of bringing clean, stalwart College sportsmen into active competition and before the public eye is one of the most widely known forms of advertising. And so at Seattle College as this scholastic year has been great, so proportionately has its sports year been highly successful and fraught with significant promise. In every sport the class of competition has reached a higher plane. Two years ago the teams were satisfied to play the second teams of the high schools, whereas the first part of this year the College teams in all three sports beat the high school leaders handily and before the year was half through they were indulging in tight, ncck-and-neck contests with the Northwest’s best class B colleges. They met the University of Washington Frosh, Bellingham Normal, Columbia University of Portland, Spokane College, the champion hoop five of Alaska, and negotiated for later games with Puget Sound College, St. Martin’s and other higher institutions. The man responsible for the exceptionally fine competition, though exceptionally fine is hardly high enough praise, is George Stunt .. It is through his efforts that the College has made itself 100 per cent better known, more popular and more active in outside and local circles. Due more than anything else to his ambitions and untiring efforts is the success of the College teams. Because they had real competition they gave real competition and often won. At the first Student Body meeting of the year the Student Body elected the athletic manager, hut neglected to name an assistant. But the work of manager is of such a scope as to be impossible to hi- rightly taken care of by one man alone. So Manager Stunt got the services of Bertrend Curran as one who had an interest and some knowledge of the work to act as assistant manager. To his credit is the competition lu- provided for the Junior teams in basketball and baseball, and especially the fine season the Varsity tennis team enjoyed in meeting the best high school net teams in the city, the University of Washington Frosh, the Ellcnsburg Normal, and the Columbia University net men, both in Seattle and Portland. GEORGE STUNTZ I’age Sovi-nly THE ECHO - Fooflball Season E ER ten years there is supposed to be a year of great success, according to the dopesters of the business and political world; thus it was that in accordance with this theory Seattle College was supposed to enjoy great success during the past year in her athletics. The College did. The forerunner for this successful sport year was Old King Football. Soon after the beginning of the fall semester a turnout was called by the coach, Mr. Maginnis, S. J., and a spirited galaxy of pigskin chasers went to work in earnest. A goodly crowd of the veterans was back, and they were on the field, kicking, bucking and plunging in the first scrimmage of the season. It was not long before a good team was whipped into shape, one that could boast of a light but fast line, and a heavy, hardhitting and fast backfield. The backfield showed real class throughout the season. The Panthers in the first game of the year journeyed over to Bremerton and took the count of the boys from across the bay by a 19 to 0 score. 'l'he Union High aggregation was outplayed from the very start. In the first few minutes of play fullback John Paul plunged over the opposing goal line for a touchdown. Two more touchdowns were recorded for the Collegians before the end of the third quarter, while Union High did not have a chance to score. In their next start the Blue and White warriors were not so fortunate, being defeated by Lincoln in a close game after outplaying their rivals from whistle to whistle. 'I'he cause of their downfall was a touchdown from a blocked kick after a run of ninety yards, and the failure of the try for point after the second score. 'I'he game ended with Lincoln grimly holding a 14 to 13 lead. Maury O’Hearn, playing his last game for the College, featured with his long runs and hard line smashes. For about two quarters O’Hearn ran, plunged and passed down the field almost single-handed. After a long journey by auto the Panthers went on the field and held the championship Whatcom High team of Bellingham to a 7 to 7 tic. In the first few minutes of the game, “Icky” Connell, broke through the line, grabbed a punt from the toe of Whatcom’s quarterback and ran thirty yards for the first touchdown of the game. From that point on the two teams worked back and forth on the field, first one having the advantage then the other. It was not until the last two minutes of play that the I'agr Scventy-oiM THE ECHO - Whatcom quarterback romped across the line after a thirty-five-yard run and tied the score in a knot. Roosevelt, runner-up in the city high school league, proved but a slight obstacle in the path of the Panthers, though they seemed to be a formidable opponent. The feature of the game was the passing of the Collegians, who completed ten passes out of ten attempts for an average of one thousand. Six of the passes were completed in a string in their last drive. The only score the Teddies were able to put across was a dropkick by Tommy Hyllcngren early in the game. It was not until the last quarter that the Blue and White machine found itself and passed to within scoring distance. The account of the game in The Palestra tells the story: “A twenty-yard pass, Glenn to Bee .er, brought the crowd to life. The Collegians had just begun, however, and to start the fourth quarter Ferren- 1 ini jumped up into the air in the middle of a crowd of facklcrs and grabbed John Paul's short pass over the line of scrimmage. On the next play Glenn started out as though he were going to make an end run and then casually tossed the egg into the outstretched arms of John Paul. 'Phis was good for yardage. First down was again made when Curran snagged a pass directly over the line of scrimmage. Although the Roughriders took time out to form plans to stop these disturbing maneuvers, it had no effect on the Panthers’ good intentions, and the result of the next play, a beautiful fifteen-yard pass from Glenn to Bee .er, found the ball eighteen yards from the final chalk mark, directly in front of the goalposts. At this stage Stelte was sent in for Bee .er, and with the stage apparently all set for a drop-kick, and with the Roughriders intent upon breaking it up, Glenn again tossed the ball to Ferrendini who made another beautiful catch. From here Paul bucked it over through, or rather over, center. Fry for point was made and the score stood seven to three with less than two minutes to go.” It was one of the prettiest rushes down the field of the season, and the Panthers well earned the victory. Just before the Whatcom game the team hit a slump and took a bad beating from West Seattle by a 28 to 0 score. The Westsiders seemed to have an uncanny knack for foreseeing the College plays and no less a knack for breaking them up. Punting was the only phase of the game in which the Blue and White excelled. The last but not the least of the tussles of the season was the game with Port Angeles. The College won 19 to 6. The Angels scored first, placing the ball over the goal line after five minutes of play. However, a trick play enabled Groscclose to score a touchdown and cut down the Seventy-two THE ECHO lead to one point a few minutes after. A blocked punt by Ferrcndini and an intercepted pass by Glenn accounted for the other two touchdowns. Thus the last game of the season ended with a creditable showing for the Panthers. Those who received letters for their work on the squad were Paul, Glenn, Bcezcr, Steltc, Fingleton, Curran, Ferrcndini, Monagle, Capt. Egan, Connell, Penoza, Burns, Aucourt, Groseclose and Powers. Hency and Alexander fell short of the required number of quarters by very little. .Resiume o:f flue j[ football 'Season Seattle College 19 Union High 0 13 Lincoln 14 Seattle College 0 West Seattle ... 19 Seattle College 7 Whatcom 7 Seattle College 7 Roosevelt 6 Seattle College 19 Port Angeles 6 Totals 65 52 l’; Ko Sovonty-tliroo r THE ECHO Mr. Maginxis, S.

He was very fast and a consistent ground gainer in every game. Glenn, Left Half Glenn, the all-round athlete of the school, took a chance at football last year and turned out a star half-back. He was a fast and heady open-field runner and a crack passer. He filled Maury O’ Hearn’s shoes acceptably when that great player left for Los Gatos. Curran, Right Half Bert Curran was small but had plenty of speed and aggressiveness. It was especially in the pinches when gains were needed that Bert showed at his best. Competition for his position this year brought him out and he had his best season. Capt.-Elbct Monagle Monaglc, end, and next year’s captain, infused confidence in his team-mates in every game. Hard as nails, with typical Irish fight and with a knack for deadly tackling, Mike proved himself capable of playing a star game despite his weight handicap, for Mike was light. He should prove a great captain for next year’s squad. Pane Scvt-niy-five ZZo THE ECHO AUCOURT, Left Guard Aucourt was a good and steady guard who played a consistent game at all times. He was not a flashy player but bolstered up the line well with his weight and experience. Powers, Center Powers fitted himself into the center’s berth and held it throughout the season. He showed plenty of courage and determination and his passing on the whole was steady. I le should he in for a good season in the coming year with this year’s experience behind him. GroseCLOSK, Left Tackle When Captain Egan was forced out of the lineup Groseclosc took his place at tackle and proved that he was a classy performer by filling the position in great style. He scored his one and only touchdown in the Port Angeles game on a cleverly worked fake play. Burns, Guard Burns, the big guard, performed well on the defensive in holding the line. 'The opposition couldn’t go over him for he spilled them and they couldn’t go around him for it was too far to travel. He is another man who should prove a star in the coming season. I'nKO Sfvcnt v-six THE ECHO CoxxELL, Left Tackle Connell is a player who does his football by instinct. He has his eye on the ball at all times and he has saved many games by his habit of always following the ball. By his work at tackle he made himself one of the outstanding players of the team. Fl XGLETOX, Back field This was Fingleton’s first year of varsity competition. Though light he was fast and his courage and speed made up for his weight handicap. With a few added pounds he would develop into a star of the first caliber. Stklte, Back field Stelte rose from the ranks of the Juniors, went into his first game three days later at quarterback against Lincoln and proved a star. He is light but fast and a very heady player. He will be a star in his next year of football. Ferrendixi, Left End Ferrendini, the lanky youth who went so well at basketball this year, also played a good game at end in football. He used his height well and was the star of the team in the receiving of forward passes. Some of his plays were of the sensational order, especially in the Roosevelt game. I’an ' Scventy-scvon THE ECHO O’ H BARN, Left Half O’Hearn was the star of the team before he left the squad in mid-season to answer a higher call. His passing ability and line-crashing power, together with a toe which could kick the ball around fifty yards, made him one of the best half-backs in the city. He passed and carried the ball practically the whole length of the field against Lincoln. He was a sure ground gainer at any time. Hbney, End Considering Heney’s weight he deserves much credit for the game he put up at end. He was fast and game but his weight was a handicap to him throughout the season. With a few more pounds he would be a star. Alexander, Linesman Alexander played his first year on the team this season at center and despite his lack of weight was reliable all season. His passing was especially good. He is another youngster with a bright future. He is in the East at present but it is hoped that he will be back at the College again next fall. Page Seventy-eight THE ECHO Junior Football THE team is indebted for the success of its initial season to Mr. Fa Ivey, S. J.. who unselfishly gave his time to the development of Seattle College’s first Junior football squad. The Juniors, though not breaking any records, suffered only one defeat, engaged in three tie games and came out on top in one encounter. This is a very good record, when one considers that they were outweighed anywhere from five to twenty-pounds a man in every game. Fhe season was opened by a game with the Hal lard Frosh. It was a fast, well-played contest and resulted in a 6 to 6 tie. The Juniors displayed their ability in the second game, by holding the much heavier Lincoln second team to a scoreless tie. The next contest was with St. Leo’s of Tacoma. The game took place at Broadway Playfield in a sea of mud. The youngsters, taking advantage of their opponents’ fumbles, were enabled to chalk up a 10 to 0 win. In the following week a return game was played at Tacoma, which ended in a 14 to 10 score, favoring the lads from the City of Destiny. I'utfo Seventy-nine Mc- ft ay Mr Dunne tf.J. tfends.il THE ECHO . o££ Captain Glenn Captain Glenn had one of the most successful of the brilliant seasons he has turned in for the Blue and White. His shooting eye was never in better condition and game after game he turned in his eight or ten points, and in many games he went considerably higher. His speed, too, was one of the important factors in the brilliant work of the team. He led the squad well and the added responsibility far from injuring his playing rather improved it. Jimmy Logan Logan, Captain Glenn’s running mate at forward, was the one who put the finishing touches on a great team. Nobody knows how he does it but all have seen him drop in basket after basket in each game. There is no wasted motion in Jimmy’s playing, and his floor-work and shooting are a pleasure to watch. Bill Ki-ndai.l Kendall is small and light, but lightning fast. On the floor he is perpetually in motion. His speed makes up for his lack of size. Bill's eye was not always in trim, but when it was he rung them in from all corners of the floor. C A PT-11'. I. ECT F ER R KN DINI Ferrcndini, next year’s captain, has, in his two years on the varsity, developed into one of the best centers in the city. It is hard to pick his strong point but probably his intercepting of passes is the most valuable point in his play. He is a sure shot and a fine team player. “Louie” Stelte Steltc spent his first year on the varsity playing practically every position on the floor. His lightness is a handicap easily overcome by his speed and natural ability, qualities which enabled him to star at almost any position. “Norm” McKay McKay is another light guard, whose most valuable assets are an almost infallible eye for the basket and an uncanny instinct for close checking. He has rolled up a good number of points by means of his long shots whenever the team was forced to resort to this style of play. “Ed” O’Connor O’Connor is a player who is always fighting hard, and one who knows the game thoroughly. He checks closely and every now and then uncorks a shot which makes the crowd yell. Ed had a gift for always getting rid of the ball to the right man which helped the team-work considerably. “Gran” Egan Egan, a guard, who with O’Connor makes up the heavy artillery of the College, is a good checker and has the size and weight to get the ball on the rebound from the basket. Pago Kighty-ono THE ECHO i lie Season ATHLETIC history is being written at Seattle College and the 1924 basketball team helped write it. Never before at the College was such an ambitious schedule attempted, and never did a team enjoy such success. True, three of the schedule games ended in defeat, but three games lost and ten won is a record of which any College could well be proud, and when the sweaters were given out in April, the loyal student body showed in a way never to be forgotten that they were proud of the wearers of the Blue and White. Captain Glenn entered the season with characteristic optimism and never during the long grind did he suffer it to wane. He fought and his team-mates fought and fight brought victory. Skattle College 21—Wilson's Business College 22 Seattle College 25—Alumni 15 The boys started out in early December, practised even during the Christmas vacation, and did not pack away their suits until March. There was no lagging of spirit during the whole time. The practise season opened in mid-December against Tom Duffy’s Wilson Business College team and when the points were totaled Tom had 22 and the Panthers 21. 'Phis loss, however, did not dampen their enthusiasm and on the following Saturday the Alumni were spanked 25 to 15 in a hard-fought game. This was the last of the practise tilts and the regular schedule started with West Seattle heading the list. Seattle College 11—West Seattle 13 West Seattle won 13 to 11 by means of a novel passing attack and a tight working defense. A local paper under date of Dec. 27, stated that the victory was a gift from Santa Claus who was very busy at that time, Anyway we lost and that’s all there is to it. Seattle College 33—Kirkland 8 Kirkland, rather chesty after their win of last year, visited the College gym, tried out the baskets before the game, and fell amid a shower of points 33 to 8. The team was now beginning to show its power, and Capt. Glenn, Kendall and Stclte at forwards, Ferrcndini at center, with Egan, O’Connor and Connell at guards were beginning to manifest some real team-work. Seattle College 20—Renton 12 Renton, thinking perhaps that they still had a jinx over the Collegians, invited the Panthers to their home city. The Varsity accepted; Bill Kendall showed the natives that lack of size was no handicap in bas- Page Eighty-two THE ECHO ketball and Renton lost 20 to 12. Capt. Glenn and Egan received painful injuries on account of the slippery condition of the playing floor and the hopes of a successful season were almost crushed when Ballard won a practise game against a makeshift team. Seattle College 30—Kirkland 14 Next Kirkland entertained at Kirkland and lost 30 to 14, never having a chance against the machine-like work of the Panthers. One fine morning about this time, one James Logan, a member of the 1919-20 teams, appeared, registered in the Sophomore class, and the Panthers then and there leaped into fame. Seattle College 27—Roosevelt 26 Roosevelt, considered the class of the prep teams of the state and the champions of the city, did battle with our hoopsters at the Teddy gym, and when the shouting was over and the loyal Roughriders had recovered from the shock, the score stood Seattle College 27, Roosevelt 26. The Palestra,” commenting on the game, stated: The work of one James Logan was the fly in the ointment for the league-leading Teddies, and his allround work was very prominent in the first and only defeat of the season for the Roughriders.” Logan, it may be added, was the same gentleman who played an all-star game for Santa Clara against the University of California Golden Bears. He had returned to the College after a little more than a year in the South. Seattle College 20—Eatonville 23 Steaming along at a furious rate, the team hit the rocky shores of Eatonville, and the Eatonville Alumni, last year’s state runner-ups, beat the boys 23 to 20. It was a rough and tumble game, the Panthers doing the tumbling and the farmer lads the roughing. Seattle College 36—Columbia U. 40 Then one afternoon and on the following morning the daily papers blossomed forth with pictures of our hopefuls. Perhaps this bit of publicity unnerved the boys, for Columbia University of Portland captured one of the fastest and most interesting games of the year 40 to 36. The howling, excited crowd at the K. of C. gym saw a battle from start to finish. Seattle College 31—Garfield 17 Garfield High, old friends of ours, were smothered 31 to 17. At the half the score was 16 to 1. The personnel of the team was changed for this game, Steltc and McKay replacing Egan and O’Connor at guard, and it remained thus until the end of the season. Page Kighly-thrco THE ECHO Seattle College 27—Columbia U. 25 Seattle College 24—Columbia U. 21 Portland, Rose City of the West, entertained the Blue and White on its first long trip. Columbia, claimant of the non-conference title of Oregon, was the host. On the evenings of February 8th and 9th the Panthers proceeded in masterly fashion to win two games; the first 27 to 25 (five minutes overtime), and the second 34 to 21. I'crrcndini, Logan and McKay came in for fulsome praise from the sport-writers of “The Oregonian,” and from then on the College quintet was feared throughout this part of the state. Seattle College 24—Lincoln High 22 Seattle College 38—Douglas High 18 Lincoln, rivals for many years, nearly ruined the new-found reputation of the Panthers when they held them to a 24 to 22 score. The team had hit a slump, but the next week they found themselves and snowed under Douglas High of Alaska 38 to 18. Seattle College 63—Spokane College 34 The season was drawing to a close, but new worlds were found to conquer, when Spokane College of Spokane traveled over the mountains and then traveled back again, beaten 63 to 34. “The Seattle Times,” under date of March 10th, stated that the visitors were no match for the fast-stepping locals.” Logan and Capt. Glenn simph bewildered the Inland Empire men, and Ferrendini showed the crowd just how good a center should play. Stclte, by his high-class work in this game, received favorable comment from local sport writers. 'The eight men. Capt. Glenn, O'Connor, Logan, Egan, Steltc, Kendall, McKay and Ferrendini, received sweaters. It is fitting that a word be inserted here in praise of Mr. Dunne, S. J., the coach. He labored much and instilled into the men under him true principles of right play, and whatever of success has come to the College team, the greater part of it is due to the coach, the backbone of any team. The two smaller aggregations, the Midgets and the Bantams, under the able tutelage of Mr. Flynn, S. J., established an enviable record. The Midgets, which consisted of Capt. Lawrence Booth, Carrol Montgomery, Basil Hurley, Dennis McLoughlin, Floyd Matson, Andy Anderson and Emmet Harrington, finished the season with a much greater majority of wins than losses. The letter winners were as follows: Charles MacGregor, Capt.; Robert Carmody, Alex Cain, Harry Jahn, Jim Sheehy, Tommy McHugh, Bob Hellenthal and Joe Logan. Page Kighty-four I ke Junior iBasketika.il i earn THE Junior or 130-lb. basketball team, under the coaching of Mr. Dunne, S. J., finished a very successful season on April the 16th. They played and often defeated teams of greater weight and superior skill by the fighting spirit which characterized them throughout the season. Though they won but half their games they allowed their opponents no rest and practically all of the games on the debit side were lost by two or three points. While lacking good shots, the team checked well and had fine team-play. They used “the short pass and shot under the basket type of game in preference to “the long shot and follow in type. Hein, captain, led his five from right forward, and proved a heady and consistent player throughout the season. Haley, his running mate at forward. was a player of the same type, though not as rugged as the captain. Haughian, center, proved a find for a first year man, being tall and fast enough to work well with the forwards. The guard positions were well cared for by Suver and O’Callaghan, the former being an excellent defense man whose fighting spirit spurred on the team in many a dark moment. Kishty-fivo THE ECHO 1 lie Baseball Season TU 1C baseball team has finished a good, though not an especially brilliant season. At the first call of Mr. Dunne, S. J., over forty aspiring candidates turned out for the nine. From last year's squad Ed. O’Connor, Granville Egan, Tom Glenn, Mose Mullaly, “Fat McCarron, Pat Hency and George Hurley were on hand. The loss of Captain-elect “Pinky” Leitch and Lee Burke, star players of last year’s Varsity, left big holes at first base and center field. As Burke and Leitch were two of the heaviest hitters on the team, as well as fast, flashy fielders, their loss was doubly felt. James “Mose” Mullaly, veteran pitcher, was elected to captain the team. At the beginning of the year cold weather, wind and rain, kept the team under a severe handicap. As the season wore on, however, a noticeable improvement was seen, and when the warmer weather came the team began to function in much better style. The following were retained on the squad: Egan and Paul, catchers; Mullaly, I). McLaughlin and Penoza, pitchers; Murphy, McCarron, Logan and Glenn, infielders; O’Connor, Hurley, Doyle and J. McLaughlin, outfielders. Every afternoon the resounding crack of horsehide against willow, yells and shouts of joy. encouragement and derision, and a continual scene of activity, showed that the squad was hard at work. Manager George Stuntz was again on the job and arranged a fine schedule for the season. A few of the high school and semi-pro teams put the players on their toes for the big games with Columbia University of Portland. As the College had emerged victorious in the basketball series Columbia was doubly anxious to defeat our ball-tossers. The first game was played at Seattle and the College won, 4 to 1, after a beautiful exhibition of pitching by Mullaly. An error on an easy roller was the only thing that kept him from a shut-out. He allowed but three bits, walked two and struck out twelve. 'File next game (not yet played at the time of writing) will be at Portland. These two contests further cement the ties of friendship already existing between the two schools. It is highly probable that Seattle College and Columbia will meet in all sports next year and thus begin an athletic relationship which bids fair to last for many years. The success of the team may be attributed to the spirit of the players and their willingness to sacrifice their individual averages for the benefit of the nine. Although not heavy hitters, baschits were very much in evidence when they were needed, the fielding was, as a general rule, very good l iW KiiHitv-six THE ECHO and the pitching, especially with Mullaly on the rubber was the strongest part of the whole machine. On the whole a well-balanced and smoothly working team, it proved itself capable of demonstrating its power whenever given real opposition. The boys lost their first game to the Freshmen 6 to 3. Mulally pitched well, though a little wild, but his support was not all that it should have been. Butler held our hitters helpless as long as he was in the box. 'Then came the Bellingham Normal game, and still the infielders hadn't snapped out of their slump. The Normal twirlcr held the hitters again while the Normalites were hitting “Mose” fairly hard and his support was doing many things which arc not in the books. The game was played in a heavy wind, with the dust flying everywhere. The team walloped Fort Lawton, the soldiers having little chance against the revamped infield. The hitting picked up considerably and the fielding was appreciably better in the pinches. Murphy featured the game with his slugging. He hit everything the soldiers’ pitcher offered him and he hit on a line. In a return game with the Freshmen the College again lost by a score of 2 to 0. Mullaly allowed the Freshmen but three hits, while Manca allowed the Collegians four. Manca’s double in the seventh with the bases loaded accounted for the two runs. Several times the Panthers had men in a position to score, but the punch in the pinch was lacking. 'Flic second Columbia game and the second game with Bellingham arc still in the offing, and with these two put away on the right side of the ledger the season can be considered a success. But before we finish give Murphy his due. The formerly phlegmatic John has been showing plenty of pepper and has been playing a whale of a game around the first sack. His hitting was one of the strong points of the team. If “Pinky” Lcitch comes back next year, as seems probable, what will we do? I’age Kii?hly-sev -n I THE ECHO rC, aCONNOR LOGAN DOYLE 9 EGAN.

Left Field O’Connor was the versatile man of the squad. starting the season in left Held, coming in to third base and finishing at second. Everywhere Eddie's work was good, and his hitting was always hard and timely. Doyle, Utility Doyle, the general utility man of the squad, did not have much of an opportunity to show his wares. His hitting was a little weak, hut his fielding was all that could be desired. Logan, Short Logan shifted from third to short, and tilled that station to perfection. His hitting was spasmodic, but his fielding was one of the bright spots of the team. He was especially there in the critical moments. Egan, Cate her Egan, the big catcher, had his usual good season. His hitting picked up. but his throwing fell off to some extent. However, towards the end of the season his sore shoul der healed and he was his old self once more. Paul, Cate her Haul. Egan's understudy, spent his first year on the team learning the inside workings of the catcher's position. John hits them seldom bu when he does they travel. Next year should be a big one for him. Hurley, Center Field Hurley was the mainstay of the College outfield. He was a sure and at times a sensational fielder. His hitting was above the ordinary and especially good In the pinen. He used his speed 'intelligently and proved himself one of the stars of the team. Capt. Mulally, Fite her Mulally. pitcher and captain, was the outstanding star of this year's squad. Mose had his drop working perfectly and his control was good. His support often wobbled, but he continued pitching brilliant ball throughout the season. Peno .a, Pitcher I’enoza, pitcher and outfielder, turned in a couple of good games. He is a hard and dangerous hitter, and the old iron arm is always ready for action. It was his first year on the varsity. I). McLaughlin, Pitcher I). McLaughlin, last year's Junior pitcher, blossomed out into a varsity man on this year's squad. He showed much promise and will undoubtedly be one of the mainstays of the College next year. Murphy. First Base Murphy is the most improved ball player on tin- team, lie took over “Dinky” Leiteh's job at first base, when Dinky failed to return and his hitting and fielding has been one of the bright spots of the season. Glenn, Third Base Glenn again starred at third. His hitting was hard and timely and his speed was invaluable to the team. He was crippled for a good part ot the season with a bad hand, but it hurt his playing little. McCarron, Second Base McCarron started the season at second base but was switched to the outfield later. He is naturally a great little inflelder. but it does not take much to shake his confidence. Next year should find him starring. J. McLaughlin, Outfield .1. .McLaughlin surprised the rail-birds by showing the fight and dash necessary to get a first team berth, lie fielded well, and his hitting was good. Jimmy always plays head-up ball. Page Eighty-nine Junior .Baseball THE passing of the year 1923-24 has marked the entrance of Junior teams into the three fields of athletic competition, basketball, baseball and football. While all enjoyed a successful season, still the debut of the baseball squad might be termed the most auspicious. Playing teams of greater age and experience, the team developed by Mr. Falvcy, S. J., won cut by out-plaving, out-thinking and out-fighting their opponents. The team was by no means one of weak hitters, yet it was upon the field that they won their greatest glory. They turned hard grounders into easy chances, and long flies settled into the waiting hands of the speedy outfielders. On the mound the work of Neil O’Callaghan, the young southpaw, stood out. His work in the box was of the sensational order. The other bright spot of the team was its crack infield. At second Joe Logan cinched his place from the first moment of the initial tryout against three other candidates, and he has been playing a steadily improving game ever since. He played one game at shortstop and started two double plays in successive innings. Tommy Morgan at first base has given a good exhibition of how to play that sack and his work has shown steady improvement. As was to be expected, Hash O’Neill at third, and Chuck O’Shea at short have been two of the mainstays of the team. O’Neill has been one of the best hitters on the squad, while Chuck’s swatting has picked up considerably. Page Ninety IE ECHO CURRAN. MORGAN. FERRENDiNI. WAYNE AND CAPT. KENDALL F he 1 ennis I earn THIS year’s tennis team, under the able tutelage of Mr. Dunne, S. J., added another successful season to the tennis history of Seattle College. The intramural tournament, by which most of the men on the team were picked, was the most closely contested the College has ever had; consequently it aroused considerable interest among the students and was responsible for the hearty support given to the team throughout the year. Bill Kendall won the tournament, and with it a fine racket donated by Piper and Taft’s, and Gordon Wayne was the runner-up. Wayne upset the dope by beating both Smith and Fcrrendini in the semi-finals. Owing to the early start several of the likely candidates were eliminated in the first round. Morgan, a flashy left-hander, lost to Bill Kendall, but came hack in the challenge round and won a place on the team. Bert Curran and Welch Powers exhibited remarkable improvement over last year’s form, but neither of them entered the challenge round. The five men, as they were finally picked for the team, were: I’jiri' Ninety-one THE ECHO Smith, Morgan, Kendall, Captain, Wayne and Ferrcndini. In doubles Fcrrcndini played with Smith and Kendall with Morgan. Bert Curran, our energetic assistant athletic manager, showed some real ability in lining up the matches, arranging one of the best schedules we ever had. It included matches with Franklin High, Queen Anne Tennis Club, Columbia University, Roosevelt High, the Washington Freshman, and several other worthy opponents. 'Fhe team started the season off by trimming Franklin, 4-2, winning three of the singles and one of the doubles matches. They lost the next two in succession, to Roosevelt and Columbia, but came back by defeating the Queen Anne Tennis Club.

DUNNE, S. J. Mr. Dunne, S. J., again took the reins as coach of the Varsity basketball and baseball teams. Continuing where he left off last season, he developed two star teams. Under his direction the College basketball team became one of the best turned out in the history of the school. His teams always play a brainy, scientific game; and they always play as a team. His record this year proves conclusively that the reputation he gained last year was well merited. MR. MAGINNIS, S. J. Mr. Maginnis, S. J., handled the football team for the second year. He was forced to work with a light and scantily manned squad, but through the plays he evolved he made them one of the most feared teams in the city. The showing of the team in the passing game was remarkably good. To the credit of Mr. Maginnis is the developing of some of the best back-field men in the city. Another year’s improvement at the same rate as the improvement shown last year and the College will have one of its greatest teams. MR. FALVEY, S. J. Mr. Falvey, S. J., drove the fundamentals of the games into the Junior football and baseball teams. Both squads had an enviable record. They were continually taking on older and more experienced teams, yet the thorough coaching they had received enabled them to more than hold their own. 'Flic notable quality of both teams was the courage and fight instilled into them by their coach. MR. FLYNN, S. J. Mr. Flynn, S. J., coached the Midgets and the Bantams in basketball. Under his guidance both teams had a successful season. They showed a surprisingly complete knowledge of the game, and the team work drilled into them by Mr. Flynn’s coaching carried them through many a crisis.

First Year High was well represented by Thaddeus Parolik, who spoke that famous excerpt from Fabiola, “The Martyrdom of Pancratius ; Alexander Cain, who rendered the time-honored “Casey at the Bat,” and 'Thomas McHugh, who spoke “Noel. 'The Second High representatives were Harry Jahn, who had for his selection, “Little Joe,” and Bud Reancy, who spoke “The Two Portraits.” Gerald Young of 'Third High gave “The Centurion’s Letter ; Charles Mahoney, from the same class, “ The Angels of Buena Vista, and Joseph Ivers, the third representative of the class, “Kentucky Bells, The delegates from Fourth High were John Spiller and Earl Gordon. The former selected “Rosa” and the latter, “Why He Couldn’t Sell the Farm.” A large attendance was present to hear the young elocutionists and their efforts met with the approval of all. Of course there could only be one winner of the medal and the judges stayed long after the contest weighing the merits of the various speakers. 'The judges were Rev. William Quigley of St. John’s parish, Rev. John Durgan, S. J., and James Hay, LL.B., a graduate of Seattle College. They selected John Spiller of Fourth High as the winner, and Bud Reancy of Second High B as the second best speaker of the evening. For those eight young men who tried in vain they had nothing but the highest praise. 'The College may well be satisfied with the Elocution Contest for it showed that there is a wealth of ability scattered through the High School classes, from the youngest of the little fellows in First High A to the oldest of the larger fellows in the higher classes. It shows that the younger fellows may uphold the honor of the school, not only by their athletic activities, but also by their ability along intellectual lines. As a matter of fact, John Spiller upheld the honor of the school in the Shakespearean contest at the University of Washington by winning first prize in his division. JOHN SPILLER l’ftiro Oik- Hundred THE ECHO i lie Oratorical C onlesi BEFORE a large and appreciative audience Seattle College held its initial Oratorical Contest at the Holy Names Auditorium on the night of April 25th. As it was the first contest of its kind staged by the College some were dubious as to the quality and style of the budding orators. But it can he truthfully said that there was not one person who went away dissatisfied with the efforts put forth by the young men who spoke. Six men survived the preliminaries and were selected to compete for the prize. The Junior class was represented by George Stuntz, Henry Ivers and Howard LeClair; the Sophomores sent Bernard Scholtes, while the standard of the Freshman class was borne by William Kendall. Promptly at 8:15 the College Orchestra pealed forth in melodious harmony, and the five speakers took their place on the stage. The order of the speakers was decided by ballot and George Stuntz was chosen as the first speaker of the evening. He had for his subject “Mother,” and the manner in which he rendered it was indeed a credit to the College. At the close of his speech he was greeted by loud and prolonged applause. Fhe second speaker was William Kendall. His effort was entitled “The Hooded Menace. His speech dealt for the most part with the beginnings of the Ku Klux Klan, and how they have gained in strength, until at the present time they are one of the greatest menaces to our country. The next was Bernard Scholtes and he had for his subject “Friendship. Again the high standard of the former speakers was upheld, and his effort met with great applause. Henry Ivers, speaking on “What Is Wrong With America.” gave the prize-winning oration of the evening. He delivered his oration in strong and forceful language, and his finished speaking undoubtedly entitled him to the award. The last, and the second best, speaker of the evening was Howard LeClair. His speech was entitled, “The Animating Power. 'File animating power, as interpreted by LeClair, is Faith; and the faith of Marshal Foch was the great example which he brought forward for the consideration of the audience.

Howard LeClair, captain; Henry I vers, George Stunt , Bertrend Curran, Bernard Scholtes and Thomas Glenn, was organized rather late in the year. On account of the shortness of time and of the pressure of other duties only one debate was scheduled, that with the Badger Club of the University of Washington. The result of the debate has been elsewhere told, hut the main thing about the team is what it promises for next year. It will be enabled to obtain an early start and should be able to secure many debates with the different colleges scattered around within the radius of the state. It is truly a College activity and was well started. 'There is much enthusiasm behind the idea, and without question another team will be chosen next year to carry on the work, barely begun in this. The same men will be back, and with the aid of new members, which every year brings to our ranks, a strong and representative team should be chosen. pi I e earn Pag« Olio lliiii lro I Two THE ECHO ■as masaders AMONG the steadily-working, yet little-noticed activities of the College is the Crusaders. They have labored assiduously in the cause of Catholic foreign missions. Especially during Lent were they active, collecting money, and offering their prayers and works of mortification for the needy missions of Alaska. During the year, the Mission Crusade’s local director, Mr. Flynn, S. J., with several of the more prominent College men, went around to the different parochial schools, and started the organization of several Crusade units. They have thus begun a work in Seattle which bids fair to be far-reaching in its consequences, and of much value to the cause in general. One of the members, Byril Groseclose, of the Seattle College unit is a secretary of the national Crusade movement. Many entertaining lectures have been given to the student body through the efforts of the local unit, and His Lordship Bishop Crimont was brought to the College to address the student-body on the needs of the missions several times. 'Ehrough the efforts of the local Crusaders a much wider knowledge of the Catholic missions has been disseminated, and much good has been done. They can look back upon a successful year, and can look forward to a still more successful one. The workers for the missions have been much increased this year through their efforts, and redoubled numbers bring redoubled strength. The C l asro One llim-lre.) Three m-r THE ECHO HEIN. FAGAN.

The real secret of this success lies directly in the determination of the fellows comprising the store force to make things work smoothly and prosperously. In the work a fine spirit of whole-hearted co-operation stood out; still the members of the force got a great deal of enjoyment out of their labors. Much of the credit for the success of the store is due to Mr. Dunne, S. J., our basketball coach, whose knowledge of Domestic Science rivals his knowledge of the hoop game. He took five young men in hand, drilled them thoroughly in their different positions and before the year was very old, had a smooth-working quintet in action. The find of the year was Ralph Kerrendini, who amazed the school by his willingness to work at the difficult tasks which confronted him. Mr. Fagan, an experienced cook, is the man whom many a student would like to meet in a dreary alley on some dark night. Dan Foley was not a statesman, hut just one of the gang, whose wide experience proved of great avail in the many trying situations. also frying situations, which arose during the course of the year.

Paso On«- lluiMlrwl Five THE ECHO I lie Dramatic C J uL WITH the great strides of advancement that the College has made this year the Dramatic Club has kept well apace. From last year’s embryo organization a now well-known and successful organization has been formed. Following the precedent established by last year’s club all of this year’s successes have been played two nights, and, 1 may venture to say here, if we are to judge from the capacity houses, in the near future it will be necessary to run the plays three nights if we wish to avoid disappointing many of our friends. In dramatics the College holds her own with any institution. Even in bygone years when its numbers were too few to claim laurels in many other lines, the College plays were very praiseworthy. Now with the improvement of the years the histrionic efforts are on a very high plane. Much of the credit for this state of affairs is due to the Dramatic Club. All the students in the school who have taken part in any College production, or who have succeeded in reaching the required degree of excellence in the monthly tryouts at the regular meetings, are eligible for membership in the club. Much enthusiasm has been shown by the students in their efforts to enroll themselves in its ranks. When we stop to consider the wonderful opportunities it offers to attain proficiency in public speaking, an acquirement so necessary today, we realize that no student should hesitate to avail himself of its advantages. 'Fhe club can, with legitimate pride, add this year's successes, “The Dean of Railsbury” and “The Witching Hour” to the glorious record of the past. John Courtney, one of the leading actors of the school, is president of the club, and it is his enthusiastic and able guidance which puts it so prominently before the eyes of the College. During the past year the number in the club has been much augmented, until at the present date it offers a wide diversity of characters from which to pick the actors for the different plays. It has already shown its versatility bv the plays it has presented. The first play of the year, “The Dean of Railsbury,” was what one might term “a heavy comedy,” while the second play, “The Witching Hour,” was a play of an altogether different type, dealing with the more serious things of life. JOHN COURTNEY I’asc One Hundred Six THE ECHO ma I lie Dean of RailsLury MAKING their debut of the season in tin's typical English comedy, the Seattle College Thespians gave the theatre-going public a treat which has been rarely accorded them elsewhere. It had passages of pleasant humor, and passages of inimitable satire. The Englishman was portrayed in his most humorous vein. The portraiture was at times caricature. still when the play was over one had a pleasant impression of the genial and kindly, though timid, Dean. In the first act of the play, I)r. Theodore Todd, the Dean of Rails-bury, is greatly perturbed by financial difficulties. A chapel for the college is in the process of building and the Dean has promised two hundred pounds to the cause if fourteen others would give a like amount. These fourteen others arc found, but the Dean finds himself without the money to supply the like amount. His inability to fulfil his promise fills him with shame and confusion. An abhorrer of all gambling, the Dean especially detested horse-racing; so much so that all his servants and pupils were forbidden to leave the premises on the day of the races to he held in the neighboring town. While pondering over his pecuniary problems, the Dean is interrupted by the entrance of his long estranged brother, who has come back into the fold. The brother, quite a racing man, gives him a tip to bet on Dandy-Dick who runs in the next day’s race. After much deliberation and, of course, against his better judgment, the Dean yields to temptation and sends his servant to place ten pounds on Dandy Dick. Then the complications begin. Meanwhile the Dean’s nephew, Nat Evelyn, drags his unwilling stepfather to the Jockey Club, a famous resort. Nat’s step-father is staying at the Dean’s home. The Dean himself is forced to attend the same club, but before he leaves the house he forbids the step-father to go out. 'File step-father, however, goes with Nat, and both he and the Dean are present at the club unknown to each other. The club is raided, and the efforts of the two old men to escape detection at the club, and to avoid recognition in the court-room form the funniest part of the play. It is the old desire of a man to keep up his surface respectability at any cost. However, all turns out well, and the Dean’s more fortunate racing brother gives him the money with which to meet his obligations. George Stunt , in the role of Nat Evelyn made a most devilish and dashing youth, and this contrasted with the extreme simplicity of his step- I’jijfp Oik 11nn lro ] Seven §§y } mZ THE ECHO father, favored the audience with not a few laughs. The part of the stepfather was taken by Howard LeClair, who showed the patrons that he is as much at home in comedy as in the heavier drama. Those who were fortunate enough to witness “The Folly of the Cross” remembered him as a cruel, crafty villain, but this time they saw him as a simple, very simple, magistrate. Hut if the Honorable Horace Potter was simple, the equally Honorable Judge Sconzer was idiotic. Gerdon for the first time tried the part of an old man. and his rendition was all that could be desired. The writer has nothing but praise for the clever representative of Fourth High for his manner of handling a difficult role. Glenn and Connell had parts which fitted them perfectly, but anyone familiar with dramatics realizes that these are the hardest parts, for they call for natural acting and it is extremely difficult to act naturally with a thousand eyes watching your every move. Glenn, in the part of the Dean’s sporty brother, had some passages of great humor. Colonel Markham, of His Majesty’s army, a brusk individual with twinkling eyes and rushing speech, was a very life-like character indeed and Henry Ivcrs is to be given great credit for the manner in which he played the part, especially for his work in the second act. Hut while all these shone in a sparkling manner, Courtney, as the venerable old Dean, was the star of the cast. Faking a character distinctly apart from the others and one having nothing in common with the spirit of the play, he demonstrated that he possesses everything necessary for the successful Thespian. John has starred in many College plays, but this was probably his most unique bit of character acting. However, the play was in a way a warning to keep away from Fnglish comedies, because it was in itself, despite its passages of humor and satire, rather weak for an American audience. It has a time-worn plot and complications older still. It was its few passages of humor and the excellent acting of the cast that enabled it to be a success. It is well to finish this criticism of the play with the words of the Palestra: “ The Dean of Railsbury is a thing of the past; Courtney, LeClair, ct al. are more famous than ever. 'Flic people of Seattle arc more happy for a few hours cheerfully spent with us. and the student-body is richer by some five hundred dollars. Hut on thinking over these things, let us not forget the man who made them all possible, and give him proper and just praise: the director, Mr. Elliott, S. J.” Pane One Hundred Eight . ■ b- THE ECHO SCENE FROM THE WITCHING HOUR GLENN, IVERS GERDON. COURTNEY. LE CLAIR COFFEY 1 lie VV itching I l our AFTER a short interval the practise for the second play of the year was begun. This time ‘'The Witching Hour” was put on by the ambitious Dramatic Club. It is a play of a serious character and gave full sweep to the budding tragedians. It is famous on both the legitimate stage and in the movies. Dealing with that ever-interesting theme, the supernatural as it touches the world of spirits and their influence on humankind, the weirdness, the hint of mystery, and the dramatic movement of the plot, made “The Witching Hour” a play that was worth the price of admission in the first act. In brief the theme was this: the nephew of a gentleman gambler kills a friend of the gambler in a fit of fear induced by the sight of a cat’s-eye jewel of which he has a superstitious dread. The nephew, Clay Whipple, after having been judged guilty, gets a retrial in the Supreme Court of Kentucky, due to the help of one of the judges who is convinced of the lad’s innocence through a personal appeal from the defendant’s father. I’.iko Olio Hiimlroil Nino THE ECHO The state in the trial is ably represented by Frank Hardmuth, who is the defendant’s rival for the hand of Viola Brookfield, and who takes this opportunity of venting a personal grudge. But due to Jack Brookfield, the gentleman-gambler, and to the all-powerful influence of prayer, with which his friend, the Judge, brings him in sudden contact, and because of the testimony of Justice Prentice, and an expose on Frank Hardmuth, Clay Whipple receives an acquittal and all ends happily. The lines, the dramatic power and the human warmth, all mirror the genius of the author, Augustus Thomas. 'Fhc individual star, if there could be such in so good a cast, was Howard LeClair in the gambler’s part. He portrayed the struggle of soul undergone by the habit-bound, but courageous gambler, and his final victory in a very realistic fashion. LeClair has undoubtedly an especial aptitude for the more serious parts. Granville Egan, as the attorney, played his role to perfection. As the gentlemanly, yet harsh and vindictive lawyer, he added much to the play by the contrast which the domineering character he had to portray offered to the more unassertive characters in the other parts. He has the easy motions of the experienced actor when upon the stage. John Courtney as the Judge of the Supreme Court, Justice Prentice, was in a somewhat similar role to the one which he had taken in ' The Dean of Railsbury,” and he took it with as much cleverness as in the previous play. It is easy for him to portray the actions of a dignified old man. Henry Ivers, as the gambler’s old friend, and Thomas Glenn, as Lew Ellinger, also did good work. One of the bright spots of the play was the rendition of some very fine lines by Ivers. The juvenile lead, the part of Clay Whipple, was taken by Earl Gcrdon was well handled. Gerdon has a peculiar manner, all his own. of interpreting parts, and there is no question but that it is much appreciated by the audience. O’Connor, in the part of Tom Denning, the friend of the gambler who is killed by Clay Whipple, was the life of the play until the unkind hand of death cut his career short. As was remarked in his own select section of the Palestra, he was the most finished actor on the stage. His antics certainly arc appreciated by the youngsters, and the oldsters too for that matter. As to the play itself, it was a little hard to understand. The rapid action and the hint of mystery carried it through with the interest of the Page One Huinlretl Ten THE ECHO audience ever on the increase, but the hint of mystery is not altogether cleared at the end of the evening’s entertainment. However, few care much for the underlying motives which prompt the acts of the individual character when they can sec plainly what they do and what is the outcome of their actions. The criticism of this play could well finish with the same words and the same tribute as the last. It was the final play of the year, as it was decided that a third one around the end of May was asking too much of the students and their supporters. Looking back over the year there is every reason to consider it a great success in dramatics. Financially the plays were both of great help, though the second one did not reach the high mark of the first; while dramatically, the already high reputation of the Club was increased.

Through the efforts of Mrs. Logan, the initial meeting of the mothers was called for March the 28th, 1924. A large crowd responded to the call, and when the figures were totaled up, seventy-five was the count. Many possible schemes were talked over in this meeting, and every motion favored the boys of the College. Every thought of the mothers was for their children and for the school which their children attended. This club promises to be a strong organization through the co-operation of the students of the College with their mothers; but we must remember that the mothers can not do it all. They want the assistance of every one of us. The progress of the club has been very rapid in the few months since its foundation, and with its every effort directed toward the school its influence on the College can hardly be exaggerated. Several functions have been already staged by it. The first big affair was put on at the K. of C. Hall to the tune of the melody monarchs, and was a huge success in every respect. Everyone was well pleased and everyone looks forward in pleasant anticipation to the next affair sponsored by the club. Besides the dance a couple of card parties were staged by the mothers, and they brought in a nice little sum. Their plans for the future arc full of enthusiasm and life. There is to be nothing dead or stagnant about the Mother’s Club. It is—pardon the familiarity—a live-wire organization of women devoted to our best interest; their efforts directed and inspired by that holiest of feelings, a mother’s love. We can feel full confidence in whatever they do, and their efforts in our behalf will only increase the reverence and affection we already have for them, if that could be done. Therefore, interested reader, we should consider ourselves fortunate in being backed by such an organization. But again we must co-operate with them. There is little use of talking about our deep-felt appreciation unless we show it in action and help them; help them, indeed, to do favors to ourselves, a task which should not repel us much. Co-operate with our mothers, therefore, and may God bless their endeavors! I’ajff One iluiuireri Thirteen THE ECHO jS£§ Alumni 4 4 I'UMNI is the name of a world and a people quite apart from the everyday world about us. In the world’s cruel battlefield we deal with hearts of iron, with cruel, unfeeling souls; we deal with strangers, and we deal with dollars and cents. But how different is Alumni Land! On a winter's evening we loll before a fireplace and allow ourselves to drift pleasantly back to the land through which we romped as boys in those carefree College days. There is Horace and Homer and Agamemnon and Achilles; the mysteries of a Pasteur and the problems of a Euclid; there is a baseball game at Broadway and Madison, with eager, howling lads crowded along the baselines, and a few enthusiastic Academy girls in the windows, all watching that champion hall club of ’09 with Denny Malloy in the box, and probably led Ryan, J. C. Ford and Jack Kelly turning in a double play. Then there is the jug with its door-keeper and pungent fumes of H2S04—a wild scramble for the air and the handball courts—a greeting from Bro. Kish; now a sea of faces in a darkened theatre, that swirl about the giddy head of a youthful Hamlet, who frantically tries to catch the prompter’s whispered word, and all he can hear is the bark of the quarterback calling Needles to drive through Mike and Carroll to make his yardage in the great St. Martin’s game. We see a Reynolds declaiming passionately against the wiles of the lean and hungry Cassius; a gathering on a rainy day in the old cement gym, the blistered hands of the ladder walkers bespeaking the victory of endurance. We see a howling mob putting a Virgil Keller through his paces; the old Administration Building with Cy Fairhurst, Jim Gill and Edwin Booth handling the store; Mr. Lubin and his orchestra at noonday practice, Bernie Hodge on the traps and big ‘Brick’ Loomas sawing away at the ‘cello. We sec ‘Chuck’ Moriarty as Hans, and Henry McGrath as a dark-skinned Rastus, and Mr. Coen, the patient director, seeing no comedy at all in their efforts. Now Fr. Garrigan is surrounded by a group of his “darlings,” all vying with one another and claiming that theirs is the pie he is to offer; John Dougherty at an elocution contest telling the audience they call him chief, while ‘Billy’ Long holds them spellbound with his ‘Tell-tale Heart’; a field day at Woodland Park with Amor De Turenne in the full regalia of a track man copping prize after prize in the dashes. “These are only some of the folks and some of the things that Alumni Land holds. It is a memory country that always beckons, and though Page One lluii lro l Fourteen THE ECHO each year we find it drifting from us, yet how pleasant are the hours we spend when wandering through it, and more pleasant still the words and laughs we have when we meet a countryman of this pure memory land and review its scenes together. “It is true about this land that once we leave it, we leave behind all its hardships, all its worries, and take with us only its joys and its sweeter and grander things. Alumni Land is a pleasant place with smiling valleys and adventurous hills. We look upon its deserts of work and futile fears and they too smile and add a happy touch to this abode of memories. It has Commencement Days for its milestones, but it has no meets nor bounds, for memory plots it in terms of love and loyalty, reaching from then to now, and from now until time will be no more.” In the preceding article “Babe” McAteer, one of the greatest quarterbacks the College ever had, and Will O’Connell, of journalistic fame, have given beautifully their impressions of Alumni Land, the land of pleasant memories. In the past year we have heard little of our Alumni. It would rejoice the present staff of the Palestra, and it would be a good thing to have in our records, the monthly Palestra, if we could obtain the impressions of more of those members of the old guard who have left their names behind them in the traditions of the school. Many have won fame, and their fame would lend much interest to the impressions already interesting in themselves. However, do not let your humility stop you, old grad. All the Alumni are men of importance to us who are still in “our carefree College days.” In the years to come we hope to hear more from you. Give us news and we can make the Alumni column in the Palestra more interesting than it has been, and we will be able to make the Alumni section of the yearly Echo one of the finest in the book. News there has been, which we have told in the Palestra as it came to us; but we desire even more. We want to know all about all of the Alumni. Help us in our quest by taking your notes now and having them ready for us when another year will have begun its scholastic course. You have your banquet, but that is only once a year, and that tells the present members of the College little about those who have been their heroes, and in whom they will have a perpetual interest. Alumni, let us hear more from you! And Alumni, send us pictures of yourselves.

The first problem that confronted those daring and ingenious fellows, the makers of our Annual, was the obtaining of paper. After consulting a dozen or more text-books on the subject we came to the vague conclusion that the coveted paper was commonly made from wood-pulp and this last idea caused an upheaval in our Editor-in-chief’s brain which germinated the following plan. He gathered together John Paul, Connell and Chub into one crowd and sent them into the forest adjoining our Alma Mater to wrestle with the trees and stumps with the happy result that we got enough wood-pulp to make paper for the next five annuals to come.

Glenn, placing first in the high jump, second in the 50-yard dash, third in the broad jump and on the Frosh relay team, was high point man with 12 points, though Powers with 11 points, Doyle with 9 and McKay with 8 pressed the leader. 'The results of the meet are: 50-yard dash—McKay (F), Glenn (F), Matson (1st A). 100-yard dash—Como (3rd), Powers (4th), Matson (1st A). 220-yard dash—Doyle (F), Powers (4th), O’Neil (3rd). 440 relay—4th High, Frosh, 'Third High. High jump—Glenn (F), Gcrdon (4th), Como (3rd). Broad jump—Steltc (4th), O’Donnell (2nd A), Glenn (F). Shot put—Paul (3rd), Ferrendini (4th), Doyle (F). Much promising material was unearthed in the track meet that may be of future varsity caliber. Little Matson of First High “A” romped home first in both his preliminary heats of the 50 and 100-yard dashes. Como, final winner in the century dash; Paul, winner of the shot put; Doyle, a handy winner in the 220-yard dash, and last but not least. Fourth High’s crack relay team, consisting of Breen. Guiry, Fingleton and Powers, are all High School point getters and would give the local prep champs some stiff competition. Page One Hundred Twenty THE ECHO THE KAUFER CO.

Now I must say a few words on behalf of those fellows who obtained the ads. They are the ones to whom the student body is indebted for the success of the Annual. Many of these lads gave up their meal-times and dances, and even neglected the shows so they might make sure of their ten per cent commission on the ads they secured.

SEATTLE MAKING THE ANNUAL YVe were one big happy family and, like every haven of domestic bliss, we have had our little troubles, but now that our work has been accomplished everything has been forgotten and forgiven and those dark days are now remembered with only a whimsical smile. One of the most thrilling happenings that occurred in those busy times was the day Chub staged his hair-raising race with “Old Dad Time.” The chief, as we affectionately nicknamed B. Curran, the editor, was wont to send the copy to and from the printers via the faithful Chub. One morning the busy stenographers were sweating and working over some important “copy” that was due at the printers sharp at twelve o’clock.

San Francisco MAKING THE ANNUAL tient Cliub was lashed to the office door waiting for his precious burden and the word of command that would send him dashing madly toward the printers. At ten minutes from the fatal hour the last typewritten sheet had left the weary typewriter to be then quickly inserted in a small keg which resembled those carried by Saint Bernard dogs in the lofty Alps. No sooner was this done than Chub was off like a maddened bull in a headlong rush to make the printers before the clock struck noon. He dashed SELL RENT EXCHANGE REPAIR ALL MAKES TYPEWRITER EXCHANGE 1016 Second Avenue MAIN 2793 SEATTLE Piitfr One Hundred Twenty-nine THE ECHO MAKING THE ANNUAL helter-skelter across tlie school grounds brushing aside astonished students as he ran. One or two of the boys seeing the young keg suspended from Chub’s neck recalled to mind some of the stories their Mas used to tell them of the brave dogs of Saint Bernard and how they used to rescue the lost travelers. The part of the story that made an indelible mark on the minds of these two boys was that the keg (in the story) was full of good, invigorating liquor. All this flashed before their minds as they saw Chub tearing across their paths. Now they didn’t want to sec old Chub arrested for bootlegging, so they made a brave attempt to head him off. But Chub was not to be outdone. He put up a game and successful fight, but whether his triumph went to his head or not no one knows, for after vanquishing his would-be assailants he went off and played with Connell and apparently forgot all about his once ardent mission. Another time, the “chief called Logan into his office and asked him to write a couple of hundred words on the College Club. The result of Logan's efforts were so humorous that the “chief” had a stroke of apoplexy and had to turn the running of the annual over to me, which was another good joke. As we mentioned before in this article, Curran is a great lover of the color which is named after our mayor. It is his secret passion as Maynard O’Leary would say, and even his socks, coffee and maple sugar must wax of a brownish tint to make a hit with him. The “chief” was ever an admirer of anything that required athletic ability, even getting a thrill watching someone open a can of sardines. Well, every so often the “chief” would stage a horseshoe-pitching tournament among the stenographers and for some reason or other would always give a mustache-cup as the prize. This kept the losers from getting jealous of the winner and so harmony was maintained except during the noon hour singing bee.
