f i N Gllaaa itliamry ON SEPTEMBER ninth, 1925. thirty hopeful young 111011 entered the Seminary. intending to he- c0me priests. N0 0110 can understand 110w we felt th0se til'st few days away from h0111e. The, retreat, however. settled 11s down. after which we quickly became, adjusted to the daily 1'011- tine. One Of the first i1111101'tal1t business trans- actions performed was the election 01' tillarles M0111'0e president. and John Nilantl secretary. Mr. M0111'0e. hmvever. went to second elass after the first semester: therefore. John llilget's was chosen t0 take his place. 0111' 111id-yea1' examime ti011s were passed successfully. so we began the sec0111l 1:111 0f the til'st year with renewed 1101111. Being: freshmen. we did not have the skill and experience to cope with the older classes in athletics. Il0wevel'. in baseball and basketball we did fairly well. especially in the latter when 0111' team defeated seemul class. which was c011- sidered quite f01'111i11al1le. During 0111' first year 0111' class was 1li111inished by the 111'01111i11g out of lValter Hoffmann. Joseph Ozmvski, Maynard l'ackel. Raymond SchmalL and Raymond Sche111'1'ell. W'h911 finally the last day 0f the year arrived we were, surprised but happy to find that we had passed 0111' year of 0111' 10115.: twelve-year course. Upon returning from 0111' summer vaea ti011. we, f0111ul quite a change awaiting 11s. First 0f all. we had to acquaint ourselves with the i1111101'tal1t ways 0f s01111011101'es. After again I'es11111i11;.r 0111' places we found that 0111' class had increased greatly. Raphael 0'00111101' had left 11s, but we received thirteen new 111elnl10rs: R011e1't A11th011y. Ruman Bernert. Arthur Doyle. Rubel't De Ulerqne. Raymmul Lena. Raymond Mcllel'nmtt. Leon Hiehel. Charles Ryan. Gl'egm'y Schroeder. Ignatius Spennel'. and lilit'fm'tl Sullivan. lVith all this new material we launched 1111011 0111' snpho- 11101'e year with renewed 11ete1'111i11ati011. lVe all made a good retreat, after which Edward Zieg- lel' x 'as elected to lead 0111' class as its president. An event which we shall never f01';:;et 11:111- 11ened in this year: it was the death 0f dear Mnnsimmr Rainer. This beloved and saintly ex- ample t0 the students was very ill during the til'st semester and 011 Jan. 12. 1927. he went to his heavenly reward. Anyone who has heard his touching sermons at the f00t 0f the Blessed Virgin altar. 0011111 not help but love and admire this great character. We. who knew him. missed him. and felt that there was missing a vital part 0f Seminary life. 0111' seeond year was as success- ful as the til'st. and. although we were happy when Vacati011 arrived. we all felt just as de- termined as ever t0 reach 0111' 20:11. especially after 100king. back at the two successful years which had passed. September tenth. 1927. found us again assem- bled to begin 0111' junior year. This year we 10st only a few 111ex11he1's: J0seph Betker. .l0hn El1l1e. Charles Alm'hein. Leon Iliehel. t'litTurtl Sullivan and Gerald White. This loss was partly made 1111 by receiving Eugene McGougll. Allen Schulteis. and Francis B1'0w11 into 0111' class. Charles Ryan was elected president. and Anthmly Beyer field master. 111 0111' third year 0111' class became quite 111'0111i- 11e11t in athletics. 011 the Classic f00tl1all teams we had tive 1111-1111101's to represent this class. 011 the basketball team f0111'. and 011 the baseball team six. Thus we can claim much of the, suc- cess 0f these teams. 011 March 251. 1928, Raymond McDernmtt W011 second place in the, Douglas-Eagen contest. giv- ing as his selecti011 t Phe Painter 0f Seville. and Eugene, McG011g'h w011 third. with HUatiline's Defiance as his piece. Also in the biennial Eng- lish play 0111' class was largely represented. The play this year was McCarthy's UIf I XVel'e King. T0wal'd the eml 0f the year 0111' English 111-0- fess01' encouraged 11s by. all0wing' 11s t0 edit an annual in 0111' seni01' year. XVe elected 0Hice1's f01' the staff which was headed by J0h11 M. llilg'el's as edit01'-i11-chief. 011 September eleventh. 1928. we 'ame hack to finish 0111' high sc11001 course. and we were pleased t0 note that we had lost 0111y 0110 from 0111' midst. Gem'ge K0hler. We als0 received two new 111eml1el's. Andrew Backhuher and Cletus Weitzer. Eugene McGough was chosen 0111' pres- ident. aml Ruman II11e1111e1' tield master. XVe, started this senior year. determined t0 make, 0111' high sch001 career a complete, success. I shall not enlarge 1111011 the events of this year; they are en11111el'ated in this 110011. Finding ourselves at the clnse 0f 0ne-t11i1'd of 0111' 1-0111'se. we are happy to knnw that we can 100k back with pleas- 111'0 1111011 the events of the, past four years. and hope for just as much success in the remaining years of 0111' career. u-EDWARD .l.
