PUBLISHED BY THE ASSOCIATED STUDENTS SEATTLE COLLEGE 1937 . SEATTLE WASHINGTON OUR AIM IN THIS, the first AEGIS of Seattle College, has been to present school life as it is lived by the students, that it may be preserved for them. Lest the all too quickly passing days spent happily within the halls of Seattle College be forgotten by those who have enjoyed them, these pages shall leave with them a record of memories. If Aegis brings these students, now or in the future, the ability to relive past activities, see school day dreams come true, and ideals realized, its end has been attained. Gltj IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE to commond the work of Seattle College and of the Jesuit Fathors in charge in furthering the great cause of Catholic education. I pray that more and moro with the passage of the years the blessings of God may prosper the college and its faculty and its students. (Most Rev.) Gerald Shaughnessy. S. M.

THEREFORE. THE 1937 AEGIS IS SINCERELY DEDICATED. t-tvU • • T dp PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE THE PHENOMENAL DEVELOPMENT and growth which Soattlo Coliego has enjoyed during the past few yoers. is ovidenco enough that this college is filling a definite need in the field of Catholic higher education in this community. Seattle College stands for all that is best and highest in acadomic standards, yet. realijing that mere information is not education; that a well informed man without proper ethical, philosophical and religious principles is a potential menace to himself and society, the faculty of Seattle Coliego aims to give their students, along with a thorough knowledge of the arts and sciences, an intelligent appreciation of their faith and a firm foundation in the principles of Christian philosophy. This is education; the full and harmonious development of man in all his faculties. The Rev. Dennis J. Sullivan, S.J to whom Seattle College owes so much ' I NOIlVIWOttc dV Leff to Right: Raymond L.

Together with the legal advisers of the College it is their duty to administer the financial affairs of Seattle College, and to act as duly authorized representatives of the corporation in all business matters. It is likewise the duty of this board to watch over the scholastic policies of the College and to keep them in line with tried and proven traditions of Jesuit education. The educational system of Seattle College is substantially that of some 200 other institutions, universities, colleges and secondary schools conducted by the Fathers of the Society of Jesus in various parts of the world. The system is guided by the principles of the Ratio Studiorum, a body of directive rules and suggestions, first published by prominent Jesuit educators in 1599, and revised in 1832. The Ratio has been attended with unfailing success as a system. Truly psychological in its methods, it is based upon the nature of man's mental processes. It insists on stability, which is so essential to educational thoroughness, yet is sufficiently elastic to meet the varying circumstances of time and place. While retaining all that is unquestionably valuable in the older learning, it adopts and incorporates the best results of modern progress. It is a noteworthy fact that many of the recently devised methods of teaching, such as the Natural, the Inductive, and similar methods, are admittedly only revivals of devices recommended long ago by the Ratio Studiorum. The system of education followed at Seattle Col lege aims at the full and harmonious development of the entire man, intellectually, morally and physically—that is, according to all his powers. Subjects are chosen and communicated, so that the student shall gradually and harmoniously reach, as nearly as may be, the highest degree of culture of which he is capable. II WALTER A.

THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR of 1936-1937 found Robert L. Smith, of the doss of '37, guiding the destinies of the Associoted Students of Seattle College, under a constitution devised and adopted by the association on February 8. 1935. Officers chosen for this year besides Mr. Smith, were Edwin McCullough, vice-president; Angelo Young, secretary; William Miller, treasurer; and Robert Richards, sergeant-at-arms. The constitution provided for a body of students to be known as the executive committee, which was to prepare business of greater importance to be presented at student body meetings. The personnel of the executive committee this year included, besides the association officers, two representatives from each class, chosen by the classes themselves. The senior class named Frank Taylor and Helena Brand; the junior class. Robert McClaire and Jean Collman; the sophomore class, John Peter and Janet Granger; the freshman class, Joseph LeGrande and Blanche Mitchell. The method followed by the executive committee provided for equal representation of all the classes. Before each committee meeting class meetings were held at which the students discussed the actions which would probably be handled by the executive committee. Various opinions were given, and candidates for positions were chosen, with the under- standing that the class representatives would place them before the committee, and thus equal voice would be given to all. The committee voted on all major proposals, then through its report given at student body meetings by the vice-president, presented the results to the students, who were to pass on all recommendations. Various tasks undertaken by the executive committee this year in the way of facilitating the business of the student body meetings were: the recommendation of co-chairmen for the seasonal informal: the recommendation of the chairmen for College Night, Homecoming, and Commencement; the naming of the editor and business manager of the Yearbook; and the awarding of sweaters to the winning lettermen. The students felt, however, that the constitution required alteration in order to overcome difficulties which arose during meetings due to the action of the executive committee. The president appointed a committee which was to revise the constitution, or. if necessary, frame a new one. The committee met several times in the space of five months, working diligently to fashion a guide which would meet the requirements of the present student body, and yet allow for the needs of the future. On April 30, the students unanimously accepted the constitution given as the report of the constitution committee. !} f' I b EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE jl S at«d—L«ft to Right: Helena Brand; Blanche Mitchell; Edwin McCullough.

Those students who undertook the task were headed by Bernard Pearce during the Winter quarter and Frank Hayes during the Spring quarter. The new constitution alters the position of the executive committee. A new committee, known as the advisory board, consisting of the officers of the association, a moderator to be appointed by the president of the College, and three representatives from each class who were to be chosen by the association at the annual election, is to function in its place. The advisory board takes charge of all elections and in general considers the welfare of the students of the College. It meets, as did the executive committee, previous to the meeting of the association. The board makes no recommendations and concerns itself only with preparing business for the student association meetings. A new body to be known as the judicial board is composed of three members: one junior, one senior, and one sophomore. Each member is to be chosen during his sophomore year for a three-year term. However, for the initial establishment of this body, one member from each of the above classes is to be chosen at the same time. The positions are to be filled from those students who rank highest in an examination to be given covering the constitution and its by-laws. The judicial board will require all officers to comply with the constitution and by-laws. It will decide on all questions arising from the document. The decisions rendered by the board will be considered final. The officers for the scholastic term of 1937-38 were elected on May 14. Edwin McCullough was elected president; James Hurson. vice-president: Betty Williams, secretary; and Daniel Corrigan, sergeant-at-arms. 17 C cnuiutleet GRADUATION Committee, composed of seniors for the purpose of assisting the class in the details of graduation, such as the choice of announcements and personal cards.

A goal attained and yet something lost—and that which is lost seems irreparable. Incidents which seem insignificant in view of our extended aims, now claim the only regrettable feature of an otherwise joyous occasion. Trifling pleasantries which, at the moment, seemed of only transitory importance, loom menacingly as if to engulf us in an impenetrable shadow of retrospection. Those awe-struck when we first listened to an informal scholastic disputation—the day Mr. Car-rnody initiated us into the subtleties of the syllogism and withdrew, leaving the class as a whole on the horns of a dilemma—those stirring class elections which three consecutive years gave the president's gavel to Herb Conyne—the class of 37 triumphant on the basketball court; winning the intramural championship every year—Bernard Pearce and Robert Smith trading off as editor of The Spectator since their Freshman year—Margaret Guest editing the first edition of the Aegis —such are the memories the first class of the new era find tantalizing. Bob Tobin heading the first alumni homecoming celebration in the history of the school—Joe Dobler meeting all comers at the ancient and honorable game of ping pong—Helen MacDonald upholding the honor of the class on the varsity debate team— Gene Galvin thrilling the first nighter with his character interpretations—Margaret Peabody directing the activities of the women students for two consecutive years—Five members of the class of '37: Taylor, Tobin, Conyne. Rothstein, and Smith, all sporting the varsity S.C. —Vivian Crenna producing a successful College Night —Jane Prouty holding the presidential chair in the A.W.S.S.C. during 1936-37—Helena Brand, Peggy Dougherty, and Dorothy Robinson ensuring the success of the various informals as chairmen—Angelo Young setting a precedent as the first girl ever to hold an office in the A.S.S.C. Such are the achievements of the class of '37— achievements pleasantly attained—for the enthusiasm which has fired the College on to greater heights was infused into their souls that bright September morn in 1933 when Dean McGoldrick first expounded the Jesuit theory of education. And looking beyond to greater things, the memories of our college days will mellow with time and the pangs which were ours at the thought of leaving our Alma Mater will soften and leave us with an undying love for Seattle College. 21 SERGIO ACENA, B.S.

Present officers of the class are Bill Carr, president: Harry Sloan, vice-president: and Robert Richards, secretary-treasurer. Executive committee representatives are Jean Collman and Robert Mc- Claire. That this group is ever enthusiastic and active in the affairs of the school is evinced by the fact that of their number Edwin McCullough holds the office of vice-president in the Associated Students' organization and consequently that of chairman of the Executive Committee: Agnes Valiquette holds the office of secretary: Betty Williams, that of treasurer of the Associated Women Students. Prominent in the social functions of the year was Joseph Phillips, co-chairman of the committee for the Spring Informal. The outstanding social function of the Junior class was the Junior Prom honoring the graduating Seniors. The affair was formal and was held at the Seattle Yacht Club on the evening of Commencement, June 3. The committee of Juniors in charge of arrangements was headed by Agnes Valiquette and Robert Richards. Another outstanding function of the group was the arrangement for the Commencement ceremonies. Robert McClaire was chairman of the committee. Many of the class are members of the Drama Guild, the Mendel Club. Glee Club, Debate Society. Lettermen's Club, and the Ski Club. A number of the class members have devoted their earnest efforts in the interests of The Spectator. It is the aim of the Junior class to be as creditable to our Alma Mater as the class preceding us: to accomplish not only high scholastic records but to leave our mark also in the history of Seattle College. 29 ) . huuct.i RUDOLFO ACENA JACK ARCHIBALD SISTER BAPTISTA WILLIAM CARR JANE DOHERTY VINCENT DOWD CHARLES GABLE JAMES HURSON CORVIN JOHNSON PABLO LAMBINICIO ISABEL LEARNED MARIE LEONARD RICHARD LYONS ANICETO MAUZANO GENE MARUCA WILLIAM MILLER i- J MARGARET MURRAY TEODORO NIEDO JACK OUELETTE JOSEPH PHILLIPS HARRY SLOAN PHOEBE STEWART FRANCES SULLIVAN JAMES THOMPSON WILLIAM THORESON AGNES VALIQUETTE MARCELLO NILLO BETTY WILLIAMS STEPHEN WOOD THELMA WOODS Loft to Right: Angelo Magn.mo.

WITH THE BEGINNING of the Fall quarter, the Sophomore class again assumed a responsible position in the annals of Seattle College for the 1936-37 term. They resolved to exceed and improve, if possible, their excellent record of the preceding year. Under the able leadership of Jerry Diemert, their many enterprises met with great success. Mary Powers was elected vice-president: Fred Conyne. secretary: and Angelo Magnano. treasurer. The Sophomore class chose Janet Granger and John Peter to represent them on the Executive Committee. and the worth of their choice has been proved by the enthusiasm with which these students entered into every discussion. As Freshmen, this class had supported every activity of the school. As Sophomores, their leadership was marked by a year of scholarship, interest, and participation in all activities. No school or stu dent body committee has been complete without the aid of the Sophomores: no dance successful without the aid of this class. Early in the season the class distinguished itself by its prominence in sports. Our basketball squad would not have been complete without such able players as Fred Conyne. and Robert Masenga. Eddie Schweitzer, a Sophomore, was manager of the squad this year. The Spectator staff has much for which to thank the members of the Sophomore class. Many of the most interesting articles have been written by the Sophomores. Eddie Schweitzer was editor of the sports page, and Raphael Daigle, managing editor of The Spectator. In short, the class has lived up to the standard and to the traditions befitting a class in a Jesuit school. They are looking forward to even more laurels as upperclassmen of the College. Just as their achievements have been due to the cooperation among themselves and with the other classes, so they aim toward a more successful Seattle College. 33 IS Front Row—Loft to Right: Wilma Daubcnipeck, Dorothy Bauer Rosannc Flynn, Elinor Beechinor, Oenise Remillard.

John Tobin was elected president; Ernest Tardif. vice-president; Glen Hagen, secretary; and John Hiltenbrand. treasurer. Also by popular vote. Blanche Mitchell and Joseph Legrand were decided upon os Freshmen representatives to the executive committee meetings. On October 13. President John Tobin opened the first formal meeting of the freshman class. Eager to join with and become part of the student body, the class decided that a skating party should be the first activity sponsored by the Freshman class. This party proved to be the Get Acquainted highlight of the Fall quarter. Having established a precedent, the Freshman Class again assumed the responsibility of putting on another skating party in the Winter quarter. The universal acclaim showed it to be even more successful than the previous one. Edward Sheehan and John Downes, the Seattle College basketball squad has been very successful. The added height and skillful playing of these men was a vital contributing factor for the achievements which were accomplished. The feminine members of the Freshman class were not at all backward in their participation in the events of the College. A candy sale sponsored by the Associated Women Students was ably conducted by Patricia Weckert as chairman of the affair. It is very much to the credit of the Freshman class that one of its members, Jeanne Testu, was News Editor for the Seattle College Spectator. The Freshman class has much to live up to; it also has much to contribute to the College: its varied talents, its enthusiasm, its grasp of responsibility. The class has not yet set its permanent mark in the student body functions; it has three more happy years in which to accomplish this. But os a class it will and can exceed the records of the preceding classes of Seottle College.

It is the candid opinion of faculty, students, and supporters of the Drama Guild that the past season of 1936-37 has seen more progress and more accomplisment by this group than ever before in the history of Seattle College. Many new and highly successful departures have been inaugurated in this department. For the first time, complete and specially designed settings have been constructed for each of the major productions. One of the most important departures was the establishment of a laboratory theatre in which almost every member of the Guild was given a part in these one-act plays. In this way new talent was uncovered and the more experienced actors were able to work on special characters and advanced acting. Each of the one-act plays was known by a number, and in this way a distinction was made between the major productions and the experimental theatre productions. Many outside engagements were booked for the one-act ploys throughout the year. The laboratory plays were directed by William Thoreson. assisted by Jean Testu and Lile McDonald. The three major productions of the year included The Whole Town's Talking. on December 2 and 3. at Providence Auditorium. The leads were William Thoreson, Mary Buchanan, John Peter and Lucille Volkey, with a fine supporting cast including Vivian Crenna, Donald Larson, Gene Galvin. Jeanne Testu. Peggy Dougherty. Ellen McHugh, Mary Frances O’Connell. Phillip Hargreaves. Marion Glasier, Betty Tobin, and Betty Colburn. The second major production was Miss Millions, which was given its premiere on February 2 and 3 at Providence, with Dorothy Bauer, James Rothstein, Jane Prouty, Neil Brislawn, Angela Young, Ann McKinnon, Morion Glasier, Don Larson, Joseph Russell. Joan Hanley, William Thoreson ond Addison Smith. The third major production gave the Guild dramatists something a little more difficult and serious in Ceiling Zero, which was offered on May 12 and 13 at Providence, with a cast including John Peter, Glenn Hagen, Addison Smith, Betty Williams, Mary Buchanan, Jean Collman, Marion Glasier, Fred Conyne. Bill Weller. Don Larson, Tom Gable. Neil Brislawn, Jim Rothstein, Bill Thoreson. Gene Maruca. Jack Archibald. John Tobin. Tony Daigle, and Thomas Delaney. The settings for all the major productions were designed by William Thoreson and Joseph Russell, and were constructed under their supervision by the following students, to whom much credit is due for their fine work and cooperation: Charles West, John White, Addison Smith, John Tobin, Donald Larson, Angela Young and Vivian Crenna. The Drama Guild is highly indebted to the Sisters of Providence for their numerous favors, and in particular to Sister Roberta for her generous co-operation and also to Mr. Adolph Bischoff, S.J., for giving his time by serving as moderator of the Drama Guild. 43 Top loft is o sceno from the end of the second act of the Fall quarter ploy The Whole Town's Talking. reading from loft to right: Galvin.

THE SODALITY of the Blessed Virgin was established in Seattle College on March 3, 1905, and was affiliated at that time to the Prima Primaria in the Roman College. The object of the Sodality is to instill the principles of Catholic Action by studying the social programs as well as by actual participation through personal sanctification and filial love of the Mother of God, and active interest in parochial work. The essence of Catholicism is personal sanctification, and it is this aspect which the Sodality tries most firmly to impress upon the minds and hearts of the Sodalists. At the bi-monthly meetings a certain time is set aside for meditation upon the life of Christ or His Blessed Mother. This is followed by the recitation of a decade of the rosary and a brief lecture designed to make the Sodolist strive for a more intimate knowledge and love of God. The Sodality is active not only in the spiritual order, but it also fosters the intellectual aspect. Every Sodolist must some day work out his salvation for himself in a world filled with doctrines contrary to the dictates of the Church. Hence, a Catholic attitude of mind must be fostered in every Sodolist. For the past year, the Sodality has studied Communism in all its aspects: its history, success and failure, and so-called reforms with the conditions now existing in Russia, Spain and Mexico in mind. Having come to the conclusion that Communism is not the remedy for the ills of the world, the Sodalists proceeded to study a system which has been taught Sodality assembly as hold at Providence Auditorium bi-weekly, father Howard Peronteau.

Distributivism. Rev. John LaFarge, S.J., Editor of the America, gave on interesting lecture on the conditions existing in Spain at the present time. Father LaFarge has been to Spain; he saw the conditions about which he spoke, and consequently he was able to portray them vividly to the Sodalists. He showed how the economic conditions in Spain influenced the Spanish workers to support the Reds in the present crisis. He emphasized the fact that Spain is an example to the rest of the world that oppression and exploitation of the poor ultimately lead to revolution and chaos. Rev. Father Martinez, a native Mexican priest, was another of the guest speakers. Fother Martinez presented a newsreel portraying the conditions in Mexico, showing men, women and children in the very act of offering their lives for their faith. The scenes of bloodshed and pathos which Father Martinez presented did much to make the Sodalists realize the unfortunate situation of their fellow brothers in the Mystical Body in Mexico. Doctor Herbert Cory of the University of Washington gave a series of lectures on Distributivism.' He emphasized the need of some new social principle to re-establish the relations now existing between capital and labor in the United States. Rev. Father N. Maruca. S.J., pictured the situation of a Catholic in a non-Catholic country. He emphasized the difficulty a Catholic has in practicing his faith in an environment of irreligion.

It is one of the most popular and active groups in the College and. with the enthusiastic support of Rev. Daniel Reidy, S.J., faculty adviser, and the whole-hearted cooperation of the student body in the matter of transportation and other details, the group has experienced two successful concert seasons. The organization is composed of twenty-five men and thirty women. The entire group sings a number of mixed choruses, while the separate groups have many individual selections in their repertoire. Two outstanding features that the club has to offer are the men's quartet and the women's trio. The former is made up of John Boehm, first tenor: James Rothstein, second tenor: Robert Tobin, first bass, and Frank Taylor, second bass. The latter is composed of Barbara Forthoffer, first soprano: Germaine Hoeschen, second soprano: and Mary Buchanan, alto. Soloists for the 1936-37 season were John Boehm, Barbara Forthoffer, Germaine Hoeschen and Frank Taylor. The initial concert of the club’s season is held every year on College Night, the annual celebration which takes place at the close of the winter quarter. WOMEN'S CHORUS Spirit Flower Campbell.

Peronteou, S.J., first moderator of the club. In 1935 Mr. Clifford Carroll. S.J.. became moderator of the club and he is such at the present time. In 1936 the debate club was given the name by which it is now known, the Gavel Club. The Gavel Club meets every Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock in the Seattle College library. Questions of all kinds ore discussed by the different members. Two of the lighter questions to be debated were, Resolved: That the drama club is of more importance to the college than the debate club. and. Resolved: That students should learn pursuing as well as pursue learning while at college. A question of interest to the more serious-minded individuals was the following: Resolved: That President Roosevelt’s judiciary plan shall be adopted. The club has entered into debate with a number of colleges in the Pacific Northwest. These meetings were held either at Seattle College, or our debaters were guests of the rival college’s debaters. Within the past year members of the Gavel Club have debated Gonzaga, Puget Sound. Seattle Pacific and Pacific Lutheran colleges. The Freshman members of the club recently participated in a debate with the Freshman debaters of the University of Washington. The intercollegiate debates were all 50 I held in the afternoon and were open to the students and to the public. accompanied the group on this trip and participated in the tournament. The Gavel Club recently sponsored a Pacific Northwest high school debate. Five high schools participated: Bellarmine, O'Dea, Seattle Prep. Holy Angels and Gonzaga. The question discussed was Resolved: That all electrical utilities should be owned by the government. Runners-up in the finals were Holy Angels and Gonzaga. with Gonzaga winning the decision. This high school debate is expected to become an annual affair of interest educationally as well as forensically. A debate squad composed of Rosanne Flynn. Helen MacDonald. Angelo Magnano and Frank Hayes took part in the annual debate tournament at Linfield College. McMinnville. Oregon. Members of the squad debated Oregon State. Pacific College, Pacific University and Nazareth College of Idaho. The question was Resolved: That Congress have power to enact minimum wage and maximum hour legislation. Another feature of the tournament was the necessity for the debaters to participate in extemporaneous presentations. The squad also debated the same question at the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma. Washington. Blanche Mitchell. Jeanne Testu and Maurice O’Brien The most interesting event of the debate season was the President's Trophy Debate. The debate is so called because Rev. Francis Corkery. S.J., offered a President’s Cup to the speaker showing the best forensic ability at the debate. The question chosen was Resolved: That the Federal Government should encourage establishment of consumers' co-operatives. The speakers were Helen MacDonald and Rosanne Flynn upholding the affirmative, and Angelo Magnano and Maurice O'Brien representing the negative side. The affirmative side was judged the winning team and Angelo Magnano was judged best speoker and awarded the trophy. The judges deciding the winner were Mr. R. J. Venable. Mr. Patrick Heeny. Jr.. Mr. Joseph Ivers, Miss E. Ayres and Mr. Bernard Pearce. Presiding chairman for the debate was Mr. Emmett Lenihan. The social activities of the Gavel Club center around the popular Spring picnics. Angle Lake was the scene of the last annual Debate Picnic. Members of the debate club are: Helena Brand. Rosanne Flynn, Frank Hayes. Jarlath Lyons. Angelo Magnano. William Marx. Helen MacDonald. Ann McKinnon. Maurice O'Brien, John Peters, Mary Powers, and Jeanne Testu. Confer Top: Claude Corning Cup, won by Gavel Club. 1937. Lower Right: Rosanne Flynn preparing on irrefutable argument.

The steady influx of new students in the pre-medics and pre-nursing courses initiated a new spirit toward scientific endeavor. Desiring to organize, protect and foster common interests, premedics organized the Mendel Club in December, 1934. The first problem with which the organizers were faced was easily solved. It took but a few moments to decide that no name could be more suitable than that of Gregor Mendel of the Augustinian order. This great experimenter spent long and patient years wrestling with the profound secrets of nature. Amid the silence of his monastery gardens, Mendel worked with untiring scientific enthusiasm. These qualities were sufficient to make him unanimous choice as patron of the new club, and in the future medical students will have a man of the highest scientific caliber for a model. Interest in the new club was soon aroused. As time went on, the spirit of progress and the desire for a real representative club became contagious and consequently the club has widened its activities. It has become a unit of strength in the scientific and social field. Each member is proud to display the golden letter M with skull inset which is the official insignia of the Mendel Club of Seattle College. The chief social activities of the club were two banquets, one in the fall quarter, the other early this spring. 52 THE GIRLS in the picture to the right are juniors in the nursing deportment of Seattle College having completed the requirements necessary for entrance into training at Providence and Harborview hospitals.

A view of the combined Biology and Bacteriology laboratories of fhe pre-medical and pre-nursing deportments of the college. The phenomenal growth of the laboratories of the college has caused much favorable comment from many of the hospital directors throughout the city. In three short years the labs have grown from one small room to five completely equipped laboratories. Here is a view of the physiology laboratory in which students spend many hours at work on skeletons, cats, worms, and various other specimens which are of interest and instructive to future doctors and nurses. This laboratory is also completely equipped for any type of work required by the course. The nutrition laboratory of Providence Hospital. at right, is well equipped to provide the student nurses with the necessary facilities to study dietetics, nutrition and food. This phase of nursing education is interesting as well as of vital importance to the individual nurse. With the combination of the college’s labs and Providence's facilities, the pre-nursing courses of the college are one of the best on the Pacific Coast. 53 Loft to Right: William Carr Business Manager; Bernard P e a r c c.

Through it. Seattle College activities hove been publicized not only in its own student body, but in the Catholic high schools of the city, in influential Catholic societies and clubs, in non-Cotholic os well as in Catholic circles, and throughout the nation through its exchanges with other institutions of higher learning. The Spectator began the year under the editorship of Bernard L. Pearce, senior, who had edited the paper as a sophomore. It was soon enlorged to a regular eight-column newspaper, and won a first-class honor rating from the Associated Collegiate Press, as it had two years ago. Robert L. Smith became the Spectator's second editor at the beginning of the Spring quarter when he was elected to fill Pearce’s unfinished term, the latter having left school on a venture in the community publication field. Smith had also edited The Spectator during the year 1935-36. Changes during the year saw various men and women holding staff positions. Jerome Diemert. known for his features written under the pen-name Jorlath Bley. held the position of managing editor. later held by Robert O'Gorman: Edward Schweitzer os sports editor earned an excellent rating for that department of The Spectator, assisted by Edmund Donohoe, who succeeded him as sports editor, and William Marx.

THIS YEAR marks the first time that the College has had an annual of its own, distinctly separate from the high school department. After contacting many of the student body, faculty, and alumni, definite plans were laid and when the proposition for an annual was presented at a student body meeting in December, the Associated Students gave their whole-hearted approval. Then, with the approval of the faculty and student body, a staff was selected with Margaret Guest as Editor-in-Chief and William Thoreson as Associate Editor; James Hurson, Business Manager; Edwin McCullough, Advertising Manager; John Peter, Art Editor; Frank Hayes. Photography Editor; Vivian Crenna, Class Editor; Angela Young, Organizations Editor; Eddie Schweitzer, Sports Editor; Wilma Daubenspeck, Assistant Art Editor; Joseph Russell, Assistant Advertising Manager; Fred Hebert, Assistant Photography Editor: Helena Brand, Typist; and Genevieve Osterman, Jeanne Testu, Ardath De Bolt, and Peggy Dougherty. With the advent of spring quarter, work was well under way with contracts for printing, engraving, and covers all arranged for. Mr. Hurson and Mr. McCullough handled the drive for advertising so successfully that the quota for ads was over and above the amount necessary to cover expenses. The entire staff was busily engaged in taking photos, writing copy, mounting pictures and reading proofs almost all of the spring quarter, and on May 15 all work was completed and with a sigh of contentment mingled with relief the staff ceased its labors and awaited the appearance of Seattle College's first Annual, the Aegis of 1937.

Anthony Klotz was elected president. James Casey took over the vice-president's chair. Allan Steele, secretary: Robert Smith received the position of treasurer, and Archie Richardson took over the post of public relations councilor. It is the policy and the aim of the group to back all the activities of the College to the utmost of its ability and to maintain an active alumni association which will be at all times in complete harmony with the College and with every function which the College sponsors throughout the scholastic year. Communion breakfasts ore held every month at the chapel of the Seattle Preparatory School, at which time the current business of the association is discussed. Many prominent speakers ore guests at these breakfasts and many topics pertinent to the alumni and the students are presented. In line with its progressive policy the alumni group backed the annual mothers' club dinner at the Casa Italiana and many members were noted at all the basketball gomes throughout the season. Perhaps the most important achievement of the alumni association this past year was the inauguration of the first annual homecoming festivities. All activities in connection with this celebration were well planned and well attended by both alumni and students. Basketball games, a play, banquet and dance were the highlights of this first annual get-together. For the first time this year a re-union communion breakfast will be held the first Sunday in June at the Preparatory School chapel. All arrangements for this function are under the direction of Mr. Howard Sylvester. It is the aim of the alumni association to foster good will between grads and student body and in this way maintain a constant contact with all graduates of Seattle College throughout the years and. in time, to have one of the strongest and most active student-grad combinations of any Catholic college in the nation. With the phenomenal success of this year's activities as an example, the association is looking forward to an even more active and successful year for the season of 1937-38. A cinccoinuu 6 f THE ANNUAL ■'Homecoming celebration was instituted this year to bring about closer relations between the faculty, alumni, and students in order to facilitate the promotion of a greater Seattle College. Here we have Robert Tobin, co-chairman: Bernard Pearce, publicity manager; and Lillian Messner. Open-house committee chairman. discussing plans for the big week with Mr. M. J. McDonough, oldest alumnus. The Homecoming basketball game was held at Garrigon gym on February third and was a hard-fought battle between the Chiefs and the St. Martin's squad. After much teetering of the score, the boys finally dropped the game to St. Martin's at 32-26. The climaxing affair of the eventful week for the alumni, whose ranks, up to this year, boast no feminine element, was the banquet, necessarily stag, held at the New Washington Hotel on Sunday, February seventh. Principal speaker for the evening was Charles P. Moriarity. Monsignor Theodore M. Ryan and Father William H. O'Neil were honored guests. The real get-acquainted event of the Homecoming program was the dance held at the New Washington Hotel on February sixth.

The association takes pride in holding at least one and more ordinarily two teas during the school year to honor the mothers of all students. It also sponsors Open House day at the college during the annual alumni Homecoming celebration. The Toio held at the Seattle Yacht Club was the outstanding feature of the past year's program. THE GIRLS' HOUSE. with Mrs. Nan Prouty presiding os Dean of Women, has been the tea and luncheon rendezvous of a great many of the women students during the past year. Here the A.W.S.S.C. has held several gay Mixers with the two-fold aim of acquainting the students with each other, and swelling the furnish the house fund. It has been the scene alike of arduous study and pleasant relaxation. lothct. C lul THE SEATTLE COLLEGE Mothers’ Club was organized April 27. 1924, at a meeting in St. Joseph's Hall. Rev. Geoffrey O'Shea, S.J., was President of Seattle College at the time. Rev. Francis Burke, S.J., was first moderator of the club. His help and encouragement had much to do with the early success of the organization. From 1924 to 1928 the club's financial receipts were given for scholarships, athletic supplies, sweaters for the Lettermen’s Club and for other necessities. In 1928. Rev. Dennis Sullivan, S.J., seeing the need for a gymnasium, called a special meeting of the Mothers' Club. He emphasized the great help the club could provide and the officers promised to do their utmost to pay the interest on the gymnasium. This pledge was faithfully kept ...r; ' to Lather Sullivan up to the time of his death last fall. Mother's Day is celebrated each year by the Mothers' Club on the first Friday of May. The mothers and boys receive Holy Communion in a body in the Preparatory Chapel, which was furnished through the efforts of the Mothers' Club. On the first Friday of November, a memorial Mass is offered for the de-parted members. Other events of the year which the Mothers' Club sponsors are an Italian dinner, on Athletic Banquet, card parties and dances. The proceeds of all these activities are devoted to the needs of Seattle College and Seattle Prep. The presidents who have served since the club was organized are: Mesdames J. L. O'Callaghan, C. A.

A grim face looks upward but the others are leveled on the floor and the first five of the team. The men doff their maroon jerseys . . . Beads of perspiration trickle down their glistening bodies as they work out with short passes in a circular formation. . . . Down at the end of the bench is a shuffling, nervous person. It is Bill Murphy, head coach. The whistle blows, and the game begins. The season in review: December I I, 1936 Outscoring Bellingham Normal School in the second half but rather late in their scoring efforts, Seattle College dropped a hard-fought 38-27 battle in the dedication game of Bellingham's $125,000 gymnasium. December 12, 1936 Presenting a stubborn zone defense in their small basketball court. Pacific Lutheran College of Tacoma overcame Seattle College in the last half to win, 38-27. January 5, 1937 Playing their first home game of the season, Seattle College ran roughshod over the Pacific Lutherans, 32-25. at Garrigan court. Phillips led the Maroon attack with ten points. He was followed by Toylor who zoomed nine counters. January 8, 1937 Leading practically all the way over Ellensburg Normal School, considered to be the equal of Washington State College, northern division champions of the Pacific Coast conference. Seattle College dropped a heart-breaker in the fleeting seconds of the game. 3 I -28. January 13, 1937 Bellingham Normal ran rampant over the weakened Maroons at Garrigan court to win handily, 39-25. January 16, 1937 Reputed to be the equal of the University of Oregon, the University of Portland lived up to press notices by defeating Seattle College, 28-16, ot Garrigan court in a listless battle. January 21, 1937 Coach Bill Murphy's red chargers easily defeated Centralio Junior College ot Garrigan gym with a withering basket barrage that finally ended 49-21. January 29, 1937 Meeting unexpected opposition from Grays Harbor Junior College, the Seattle College chiefs defeated the Harboriles, 32-30, before a thrill-packed house of rabid fans at Garrigan court.

Angel College overcame a stubborn Seattle College quintet that would never say die, 37-27, on Gorrigan court. The season is over. Not a really successful season as they judge them in terms of victories these days. However, that is not the prime objective of athletics at Seattle College. When you know that the fellows are building character, keeping alive the spark of clean-cut manhood so necessary in this day and age, and when they go out in the world as representatives of the school, your chest will swell with pride and say, they are representative of all that is Seattle College. 65 s Top— L ff to Right: Betty V illiami. gir!s' representative; Joseph Di‘ tor. secretary-treasurer; Phil Hargreaves, president; William Miller, vice-president. Lower: Mary Buchanan, a novice who made appreciable advancement during the past year. OVER A YEAR AGO a group of Seattle College students found a mutual interest in the sport of skiing. Gradually the idea of a ski club for mutual aid and advancement came and developed. The example of Dartmouth suggested the value a ski club can have to the school itself, and it was determined that Seattle College should have an official ski team to represent her in meets with other colleges and ski clubs. Last fall, a month after the start of school, the idea was apparently sold and some fifty-eight students joined, signifying the desire to ski as a club and to subscribe twenty-five cents each as a membership fee to be applied to the purchase of ski books and a set of slalom flags. The lateness of the first snow, unusually changeable weather and the difficulty of holding meetings interfered greatly with the first season. However, some twenty-five students skied and eight of these regularly. The ski club arranged transportation at set rates and held several meetings offering instruction on equipment, core of skis, and skiing technique. 66 Dispersion of interests interfered with tryouts and practice of the experienced men skiers, all of whom were necessary for the team. Of the girls who tried skiing, most of them for the first time this year, Betty Williams looked especially promising, while Mory Buchanan, Pat Kane, and Mary Powers fast learned to control their skis. The most experienced skier of the team was Bill Miller, who rated tenth place in the 1936 Silver Skis race. The ski club proved itself an aid to individuals in its solution of the transportation problem during the past year. With the development of its skiers, competition is the next step. Jack Kearney, Bill Scott. Jack McPhee, Fred Sexton, and Ernest Tardif should achieve competitive form next year and, with Bill Cole, lead a Seattle College team against the nine colleges of the Northwest Ski Union and against the many ski clubs. If the ski team is pushed by a greater participation of the student body as a whole—and that cannot be stressed too much—a great deal can be expected from a Seattle College ski team in the competitive field.

Lower: Bill Miller, who placed tenth in the 1936 Silver Skis race. 67 SPORTS activities during the past year were not limited to basketball games with local and outside teams. Two collegians. Ed Donohoe and Joe Dobler, resolved to provide activity for the men during the free periods of the day. From this resolution came the idea of an intramural league. Six captains were appointed to form six basketball teams and to draw up a schedule of intramural games. Captains in the league were Joe Dobler of the Cards”; Bob Simmons heading the Bennies”; Ed Donohoe leading the ‘ Dehorns : Leo Duffy captaining the Doodle Bugs’ : Jim Walsh directing the Wreckers : Bill Brown, the Bombers ; and Frank Quilantang heading the Filipinos. Three weeks of fast ploy followed the inception of the intramural league. The Bennies held first place in the series, with the Cards boasting second place. The Dehorns were third, followed by the Doodle Bugs, the Wreckers. Bombers, and Filipinos. Final play-offs came on February 25th and 26th. and resulted in the Bennies winning the coveted pennant. INTERCLASS BASEBALL games were hotly contested this year due to the keen rivalry between classes. The majority of the games were won by a single run. The class presidents acted as captains. John Tobin was chosen president of the league and arranged the schedule.

FROM A SWIMMING course odded to the school curriculum in the spring quarter of 1936, the women's physical education course developed during the term of 1936-37, to include courses in basketball. volleyball, badminton, tennis, and swimming. During the fall quarter, with Mr. Francis Walter-skichen os instructor, students from Columbus and Providence Hospitals engaged in spirited competition in both volleyball and badminton. Honors were even. Mr. Vin Dowd coached the some group in basketball during the winter quarter and the same elements of competition prevailed. Spring quartor found swimming, with Mr. Walter-skirchen instructing, and tennis, under Mr. Dowd, with many enthusiastic followers. The girls entered no outside competition during the past term, but with the splendid material at hand, the next term will possibly see women’s teams triumphing over those of other schools. 69 FRIDAY, the thirteenth of November, suggested the motif for the annual Fall Informal held at the Sand Point Country Club. Throwing superstition to the winds, students entered under a ladder, and in a colorfully decorated hall, with a large horseshoe overhead, danced to the rhythmic tunes of Bill McCauley’s orchestra. The Winter Informal was one of the highlights of the program for ' Homecoming” week. The Windsor Room of the New Washington Hotel was the setting in which a large number of both students and alumni tripped the light fantastic to the strains of Ted Sternoff's orchestra on the evening of February sixth. Gay colors and billowing organdies confirmed the rumor of spring on April twenty-third at the Sand Point Country Club. Imbued with the spirit of the season, the students and their friends did ample justice to the inspiring quality of the music furnished by Center Case's orchestra.

CJL ecu ¥l THE ANNUAL celebration known os College Night was held this year on December 18. in Nurses’ Auditorium. Providence Hospital. The affair was devoted to the entertainment of our parents. Honors were conferred, the glee clubs mode their first formol appearance, and the parents were given addresses of welcome, in which they were invited to participate in various school activities. Miss Vivian Crenno of the Class of '37 was chairman of this year’s affair. The decorations she chose were symbolic of the season of Christmas: tall silver trees decorated with colored lights banked the stage: clusters of cedar boughs and poinsettias lent an air of natural grandeur to the auditorium. John Boehm introduced the program with the theme song of the evening In a Winter Wonderland. This was followed by on address of welcome delivered by Robert Smith, President of the Associated Students. The girls' trio, consisting of Bar- bara Forthoffer, Germaine Hoeschen and Mary Buchanan, sang a number of Christmas carols. The Seattle College Glee Club concluded the musical part of the program with a number of hymns and songs of the season. A one-act play entitled If Men Played Cards As Women Do. directed by William Thoreson. was presented by the Drama Guild of the College. The cast included Robert Tobin, '37: Herbert Conyne. 37; James Rothstein. '37; and Robert Richards. ’38. Rev. James B. McGoldrick, S.J., Dean of Seattle College, read the honor roll, and, in an address to the parents, prophesied a glowing future for the students of the College. He presented Miss Helen MacDonald an attractive volume of Shakespeare, because of her excellent work in the class of Adolescent Psychology. Ihe program was followed by a social hour of dancing and refreshments. The Glee Club, directed by Walter Allin. concluding the College Night program.
