JOSEPH M. GLEASON, A. M. '88, Who Delivered the Sermon on the Occasion of the Blessing of Our Service Flag Meaning QDLI1' Swruire Elllag, On the evening of Nay 12, the crosses that top the fog- swept steeples of St. Ignatius' church were illuminated in all their brilliancy and shone forth in lofty, lucent majesty, significant to San Franciscans of a most unusual ceremony in the temple below. That ceremony was the blessing of the Service Iflag of St. Ignatius Univer- sity. Long before the appointed hour. the seats of the spacious church were Filled and people knelt rever- ently in the aisles. Magnificent and impressive, indeed, was the sight which they beheld, the green carpet- ing of the broad sanctuary. the im- maculate altar, tastefully decorated with red and white carnations and WILLIAM T. SWEIGERT blue Hag lilies, the vast dome above, brightly lighted and draped on either side with two large American Flags. .-Xt half past eight a procession emerged from the sacristy, passed before the altar rail and mounted the steps to places in the sanctuary. First, in order came forty acolytes, garbed in red cassocks and delicate lace surplicesl then followed a line of priests in cassock and surplicei lastly in full uniform marched two chaplains, the Reverend Father Moisant, chaplain at Camp Fremont, and Reverend Father McQuaide, chaplain at the Presidio, who was at- tended by two former Ignatians, Lieutenants Yincent IQ, llutler and Eugene Conway, also in uniform. Wvlien all had assembled in the sanctuary a specially augmented choir sang the beautiful hymn, God Illess Our Flag, the production of a former St. Ignatius pupil, BLESSIXG OUR SERVICE FLAG 17 the Rev. Joseph Riordan, S. vl. As the last note died away the Military lland of the 62nd Artillery Regiment, occupy! ing the spacious upper gallery, broke forth into the martial tones of the Stars and Stripes Forever march. lf ever brazen throated instruments have lent the charm of in- spiring music to a scene, and if ever a military hand has with rhythmic harmony made hearts beat quickly, it was on this occasion when the majestic temple vibrated with that full sonorous melody. Truly it was the grandest commingling of the military and the religious that the Catholics in San Francisco have ever witnessed. Now, down the middle aisle between the stately colon- nades on either side and past an eager and deeply im- pressed congregation, eight lchalcifclad soldiers, proud to perform such an office for their Alma Mater, carried the magnificent banner to the altar and draped it before the very door of the tabernacle. There it lay for all to behold, with red border. white field and blue stars, a significant Flag, bearing in its ample folds an eloquent tribute to the noble virility, the stead- fast devotion and the lively patriotism of the sons of St. Ignatius lvniversity. There were 378 stars in all, three of which were set in gold, telling the simple story of three lgnatians, who have already offered the last full measure of devotion. The honored dead are Charles R. lX'lcYey, a victim on the torpedoed Tuscaniag Xliilliam Lasater and George XY. Ross, both of whom died of disease, the latter across the seas in France, the former here in his own native city. The lgnatian of highest military rank, represented on the ll W is llrieadier-General Charles A. Mclfinstry, A. ll. '84, Zig, J he at the present time commanding a division of engineers in France. After the choir had intoned the l'Veni Creator, the Rev. Joseph Gleason, A.R. '87, pastor of St. Thomas' 13, THE IGNA TJAN church, Palo Alto, and National Chaplain of the Spanish- American VVar Veterans, ascended the pulpit. His address was phrased in the words of a real American and de- livered with a spirited eloquence and a fervid enthusiasm which reached the hearts of his hearers. He spoke of the distinguishing characteristic of a Catholics patriotism, his clear concept of a dual duty to God and to country. That is why, spoke Fr. Gleason, the Service Flag of St. Ignatius University lies here this evening, here where it should lie, at the foot of the altar of God. A musical number followed the sermon and then the ceremony of blessing the Hag was begun. Father Mc- Quaide with his two aides approached the altar and. stand- ing beside the Hag, sprinkled holy water upon the out- spread banner and invoked with most beautiful prayers the blessing and the protection of Almighty God upon the heroes represented on its starry field. Then, as tears filled the eyes of many onlookers, as just pride kindled in the eyes of students, alumni and faculty members, and as the majestic tones of the Star Spangled Tlannerw brought all to attention, the Hag was slowly raised to a place above the altar. A song, written specially for the occasion by Vincent VV. Hallinan, '19, and set to music by Professor Albert Schuh, was now sung by the choir. Solemn Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament followed and the magnificent and impressive ceremony of consecrating the Service Flag of St. Ignatius University concluded with an appropriate and heartfelt Laudate. ilinuinga nf at 3larkir New York, Feb. 22, 1918. Saturday Night, 6:15 o'clock. Dearest Dad and Mother: I've been swept off my feet so completely by my Hrst im- pression of New York that, although 1've been here only four or five hours, I decided that 1 just had to let you know all about it. W'e left the station at 1:30 o'clock, and after a mile's walk through the snow, which was very exciting in itself, we reached the railroad station: after a ten-minute ride on the train we changed cars. and to my surprise we were landed on a station fifty feet above ground: then followed my first ride on ele- vated railroads. To the other Cali- fornia boys it was just as much a CHAS. J. WISEMAN, A. B. '17 surprise and novelty as it was for me. 1 used to think that it was a lot of nbunk' when I heard that trains ran alongside of four and five story buildings. Our ride took us along the famous Harlem and its countless number of tenement housesg they were the same as 1 have often seen in moving pictures: row after row of houses identical in architecture, with millions of little kids lined up on every street, coasting down the hills with their snow-sleighs. We rode as far as Forty-second street and then descended to terra Firma again. The first sight to greet our eyes was the Grand Cen- tral Station, and in we went to investigate. 1 guess, Mother, that you remember it very Well, for to my way of thinking once you have seen it you will never forget it. After we had spent a half-hour looking around we de- cided to keep going till we hit old Broadway. By this time 20 THE IGNJI TIAN I had received my f1rst glimpse of the skyscrapers, and believe me, they sure are skyscrapers. I guess that I rep- resented the typical hayseed as I stood with mouth open gaving upward, but I just could not help myself, for the temptation was too strong. VVe stopped in at the Navy Club on Fifth Avenue to obtain some information. lt is surely a treatg there are writing-rooms, pool tables, canteen, library. etc., all for our comfort. After giving that the once over we proceeded on our-journey and our next stop was at that famous corner, Times Square, Forty-second and Broadway. Can you imagine poor little me, who has spent four months in Los Angeles, where the people never move faster than a crawl, standing at that famous corner? But there were eight others like myself, and we put our heads together and de- cided to seek a hotel before we all fell over in a faint from the excitement. A couple of us wanted to stay at the Knick- erbocker, but the others decided that it was too far away from pay day. so we walked down a block to the Continental and obtained our rooms at 31.50 a piece, which is more than reasonable. Fat Kelly, Yin. lfeherin, Davidson and my- self have a suite of rooms that sure are wonders. After a breathing' spell we ventured out again and decided to do Ilroadvvay. I guess, Mother, that you remember these parts as well as I do. XVe have so many things planned for tomorrow that it will take us a month of Sundays to realize them all. Cen- tral Park, Fifth Avenue and lYall Street most likely will be honored with our presence, but still you never can tell what sailors will do. Xlfe are free till S o'clock Monday morning, so I suppose that we will manage to see considerable of the city. Dad! lt sure is some treat for me, and I only wish that you were along to share it with me. You can bet that I'll persuade you to take the trip some time, seeing' that Mother and l are now rated on the same plane as National Travel- ers, Mother won't be able to say: Now, when I was East ROVINGS OF --I JflCKlE 21 such and such was such. It will have to be: XVas so and so such when you were East, Charlie ? I-lal hal The more I stop to reflect that I am in New York, the less I can realize it. lVhy, even as I write this letter I look out the window and see thousands of electric signs that form the Great Wfhite IYay, and I always thought such things existed for me in another world. Wle bought last Sundays San Francisco Chronicle today, and I'm going to glance over it now before we go out, and see if the home town is still 0. K. I guess dear old S. F. would just about make one street in New York. Now don't get mad, dad: I was only fooling. All my love to you both, and I will write again tomorrow. Charlie. New York, February 24, 1918. Dearest Dad and Mother: This is a continuation of my first experiences in the liig City. As I closed my letter to you last night, I was just preparing to take in Uh, Boy! at the Casino Theatre. It was a typical Broadway show, and we enjoyed every minute of it. After the show we met Yin Heherin and a couple of others in our party who had seen Maxime Elliot and Nat Goodwin, and together we all promenaded along the Great Wfhite VVay and saw New York at its merriest. There seemed to be millions of people on the streets: we would walk along' a few feet and then would be caught in a jam and forced to stand still. It reminded me of a carnival. Vie turned into bed at the hotel about 2 o'clock, and arose bright and early this morning. At Il o'clock we split into parties and all started out in opposite directions to see as much as possible. Art David- son and I formed our combination, and the first thing we did was to take a Fifth Avenue bus. The bus ran along fash- ionable Fifth .-Xvenue, passed Central Park. along the bank of the I-Iudson and terminated around One Hundred and Sixty-eighth Street. I don't think that We could have chosen 22 THE IGNATIAN a more interesting and beautiful ride. The conductor took a special interest in us, as did likewise several of the passen- gers, They pointed out to us all the famous millionaires' mansions, the particular buildings of interest in Central Park, and also prominent buildings that could be seen in the dis- tance, such as Columbia College, St. John's Cathedral, etc. NVe returned on the same bus, and sat back to enjoy River- side Drive to our heart's content. The trip lasted about two hours, and we arrived back at the hotel at half-past three, where I dispatched a few postals to you. After a few minutes' breathing spell we set out again. This time it was to the business district and Brooklyn Bridge. Mother, you can explain to Dad better than I can how that part of New York is located. VVe took the subway at Forty- first Street and Broadway. and in a few minutes we were landed at the other end of town. By the way, it was my first ride on a subway train, and I appreciated the novelty of it. The first thing we did was to walk out to the middle of Brooklyn Bridge: it was a wonderful sight: but there was something still better in store for us. After lingering on the bridge for a while, we walked along those streets where millions are made and lost in a few minutes. You'll have a very fortunate son, Mother, if my head does not fall off tonight after the way I twisted my neck gazing up at the 'real sleyscrapers. After we had feasted our eyes on these sights for half an hour or so, we caught the subway back and returned to the hotel. I just could not wait until tomorrow to tell you all I saw, so I had to take advantage of these few minutes before we eat supper to write you. Don't you think that we have been busy boys since we landed in this city? I donlt exactly know what the program will be tonight. I think that all the theatres are closed, but the evenino' is ounof and we are pretty certain to keep going. New York is the easiest town in the world to find your way aboutg of course, when it comes to seeking information D y bs ROVINGS OF A Jf1CKIE ' 23 from people, we are anything but bashful. We must have asked about a million questions and every one was answered. The people here are willing to go a mile out of their way to help you along. VVe all admit that San Francisco and New York are identical in every respect. The people of both cities seem to possess the same sort of energyg the dress, manners, customs and life are the same. To tell the honest truth, I feel more at home in New York than I did in Los Angeles. In all, folks, it has surely been a glorious week- end for me. I have seen New York in a way in which I would never have been able to see it again, and I have en- joyed it much more than I ever could have under any other circumstances. It has all been a dream that I never before thought could be realized. Before it slips my mind, did I ever tell you how we have our brothers from the East Ukiddedu about the Vifest? lVe tell stories about how the cowboys and Indians used to ride in for miles around to hear our 300-piece band at San Pedro: tell them of the flourishing farms around Powell and Market Streets, and such things as that. It's a picnic. The majority of them have their ideas of the Wfest from moving pictures, and they believe that before the war we all used to pack guns around on our hips. VVell, folks, I think that I have overwritten myself, for, as Mother used to say when she got tired writing, I have a cramp in my thumb. I hope that everything is all right with you both, and that by now you have ceased worrying over my trip. All my love to you both. I will write again tomorrow. Broadway, Charlie. Naval Training Station, Pelham Bay Park, New York, March 3, 1918. My Dear Friend: At this reading you are undoubtedly aware of the details concerning my rather hasty leavetaking from the land of 24 THE zcivarfi-iiy sunshine, fruit and flowers: nor shall I burden you with a lengthy description of my transcontinental trip, filled though it was with wonders that my fertile imagination never con- jured as existing. Wfe traveled via the Santa Ire, passing through Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, I'ennsvlvania, and Finally along the Hudson River to the Empire State. Your own experience as an American trav- eler will enable you to recall the glories of each of these places far better than I can portray them. In my own case. however, I doubt if I shall ever again have the good fortune to enjoy as much the trip over the American continent, for we traveled 450 strong, and every habitation along the way manifested its patriotism and showed the proper spirit by tendering us the municipal keys and allowing us the full possession and use, free of cost, of street cars, hre engines and sundry municipal instrumentalities. As you know, I bear you no ill will whatever, but I did wish that you were one of us on the night we arriveclin New York, One of the natives informed us that the temperature was IO degrees above zero. At the time I was too cold to argue with him, but I insist to this day that it must have been ISSIG degrees below zero. Since the day of our arrival the brand of weather has been such that it might fairly be compared with that of our own California, and we have received informa- tion from sources that are fairly reliable that the winter sea- son is now spent, for which we are all quite thankful. There are about six thousand men quartered here, living in barracks, about sixty men to each barrack, and every regiment having its own mess hall. lVith my wonted hu- mility I hasten to apprise you of the statements that we have heard on all sides that our California unit forms the finest body of men that has entered the camp up to this time. The nrst day we were here men holding college degrees were taken from the unit and placed in another regiment. and are now taking a special course of instruction. In all about one hundred men were chosen, and am diligently ap- ROVINGS OF .el f,elCKIE Z5 plying myself to the books, as I deem myself very fortunate to be among the number. My initial trip to New York City was an immense suc- cess. I stood on llrooklyn llridgeg perched myself on the top of the XYoolworth Building: patronized the buses on Fifth Avenue and Riverside Drive: paid my respects to the subways and the elevated, casting longing glances in the direction of the l'olo grounds, and compared Central l'ark with our own Golden Gate QI assure you to the advantage of the latterl. It is now 0:15, Sunday morning, and at 10 o'clock a crowd of us are going to Mass, which will be cele- brated on the grounds. The Knights of Columbus are very active here and have a building in the course of construc- tion. Their various chapters in New York City have issued standing invitations to us to accept their hospitality. Now having heard Mass, I shall continue. There must have been about three hundred fellows present at the cele- bration of Mass, and it was all very impressive. The priest who celebrated the Mass is permanently stationed at camp and is surely a splendid selection for the position he holds. I-Ie gave us a very appropriate talk and announced that the K. of C. will have another building in the course of cone struction in a week or two. I just met Yin Meherin at Hass: he is looking more like an old salt than ever before. You will sure have some hard nuts to crack if we ever have the pleasure of meeting again within the four walls of a classroom. I will put a round turn and a couple of half hitches about you and make you rig in your booms. I fully realize that this terminology is a bit over your head, but my vocabulary contains quite an admixture of salt water stuff these days, so don't be offended. I have not heard any word from Lee Jacobson or Vin Brown since I left California. I forgot to mention that I experienced my hrst snowstorm last week. Being my Hrst, I was naturally quite childish about it and persisted in running about in the snow. making the most of it. How are all at the Law School, boys and teach- 26 THE IGNATIAN ers? I anxiously await word, for I am a long, long Way from Hayes and Shrader streets. I must complete my let- ter, for the bugle has just announced mess, and you know from past experience the eagerness with which I have always responded to that call. VVhat about the fortunes of the Soclality baseball team? I suppose the boys are still bending them over and lining them out on Sunday mornings. I sure wish that I was there to help you out by an occasional crashing drive to the bleachers as of yore. KI-Ia, ha, he, he.j Give my kind regards and best wishes to all of our mutual friends, and as for yourself, be sure to stay under cover when the big wind blows. Faithfully yours, Charlie IVise11za1z.. S. S. W'ierlingen, N. Y. Harbor, March 21, 1918. Thursday Night, 8:15. My Dearest Dad and Mother: Did you observe the title of'this letter? It is all very true, and here I am. This morning at 9 o'clock our crew was mustered, along with forty-live others, and were sent aboard the different boats that were tied up to Ellis Island, to be sent to our new homes. Every crew had a junior and a senior officer attached to it, and it looked like a big naval review. The occasion of it all was the seizure of the Dutch boats, the details of which, I suppose, you are familiar with by this time. There were several other crews aboard our boat, which necessitated quite a lengthy trip around New York harbor. Consequently, I was given an opportunity to see New York harbor from the beginning to end. Mother, I never thought there were so many boats in the world, as I saw anchored about hereg boats from every country, of every size and description: and you ought to see the way some of the boats are camouflagecl. From a mile away you would be unable ROVINGS OF .1 JACKIE 27 to tell whether they were ships or clouds, some are painted to represent the sun, others painted with big polka dots, etc. VVe drew up alongside our boat about l o'clock and for- mally took possession of it. Vlfe arranged ourselves in our quarters, ate lunch, fooled around the boat, had dinner and here I am writing. There are so many things I have to write of that I just don't know where to begin. First of all, we are lying on the Brooklyn side of the East River, directly opposite the Singer Building, tied up to the Long Island City docks. The boat itself is a first- class merchant vessel, about SOO feet long, completely steel- armored. It is about half Hlled with cargo Csugar from Puerto Ricoj, and all day long they have been unloading it. It is not an ocean-to-ocean vessel, but built only for coastwise commerce, and up to the seizure by the United States was used only between the islands and here. There- fore, our hopes of taking a trip to the other side are gone, and we will have to be content with coastwise trips. if we remain aboard her. She is slow, developing only eight knots per hour Cabout eight milesl. It is needless for me to say that the Dutch crew aboard are wild. The official surrender took place at 5:20 this evening, and it was so impressive that it bears mentioning. The Dutch crew lined up on one side of the deck and the American crew at the other. Two of our men were detailed to lower the Hag, and as it was being hoisted down we stood at atten- tion and held the salute, while the Dutch crew uncovered. Folks, it was pitiful to see the expressions on the faces of the Dutch crewg half of them filled up with tears. I doubt if anything could have affected or touched their hearts more than that simple act. When the Hag was lowered, it was folded and handed to our commander, who in turn handed it to the Dutch captain. The scene would have done justice to any movie. The American officer came to attention, saluted and passed the flag to the Dutch captain. He uncovered and 28 THE IGNA TI.-IN extended his hand to the other, and both shook hands warm- ly. The old Dutch captain was on the verge of breaking down. You can't appreciate what the entire affair meant. and no description of mine could aid you. Tomorrow morn- ing at 8 o'clock the Stars and Stripes are raised and it be- comes an American vessel: the crews of not only this, but all other Dutch ships seized, are put off and deported back to Holland. XYe are now acting as armed guard and are patrolling all parts of her, for fear that they may attempt to tamper with her. I have just come in off watch in the engine-room and am going to turn in. Tomorrow we move over to the New York side and dock. All told, there are 1-l- of us in the crew-the six of us whom T mentioned before and one other: also seven firemen. Every Dutch vessel is armed with the same sort of crew along with two offlcers. The living-quarters are line and we are all patting our- selves on the shoulder for drawing such a class A boat. To- morrow we take on United States cooks. and you can rest assured that we will continue to be fed in regular navy style. Everything is great, and the spirits of all of us are high. What the next move will be none of us knows, but it is almost certain that we will be around here for some time to come, and whatever trip we may make will not be far from home shores, As I said before, we are all a triHe disappoint- ed, but I suppose that it is all for the best. so none of us complains. That just about constitutes a record of today's events. lt has been a busy day and one that I'll always remember. New Yorks waterways are just as crowded and busy as its streets. Boats by the thousands are steaming continually to and frog it is like a city on the water. The city lying across the way looks beautiful, all illuminated. Thomas Edi- son's plant is almost directly opposite us. I guess they are working niffht and day there. for the worl's are 0'oin0 full 6 C - X .5 m blast now. 7 R. D. Williamson R. D. Rossi, A.

Good-night, and all my love to you both. Charlie. Ellis Island, March 31, 1918. Easter Sunday Morning, ll o'clock A. M. My Dearest Dad and Mother: Ilm so happy this Easter morning that I don't think that I will be able to propel my pen quickly enough to tell you all my thoughts. To begin with the beginning: Last night after I had written you from the Y. RI. C. A., I started out for Saint Patricks Cathedral. It was only a few blocks away and I had no difficulty finding it. I stepped in, expecting to find the ordinary church decorations, but I was literally swept off my feet at the grandeur and splendor that were unveiled to my eyes. If there is anything more beautiful in the whole world. it will take a great deal of argumentation on some one's part to convince me. lYere you inside, Mother? I will not undertake even a feeble description of the interior, because I firmly believe that no human being has de- scriptive powers sufficient to give one even the slightest pen picture of it. There are side altars and alcoves every few feet, the most wonderful creations that the hand of man can accomplish. Priceless paintings and statues seem to adorn every crevice. These altars extend along the side and behind the main altar, so that I was enabled to encircle the entire church. The main altar is one mass of glory and was fully adorned with flowers banked on every side, as the scene was set for Easter ROVINGS OF A HJACKIEL' 31 Sunday. The pulpit is one mass of beautifully carved Italian marble, lily white. The plush pews surrounding the huge marble pillars that seem to extend to the skies, the magnificently stained glass windows, the massive or- gan set up in the choir, all came under my observation. In seating capacity the Cathedral compares with St. Ignatius Church. Personally I would not vouch which would accommodate the most people. The primary nature of 1ny visit was Confession, and as I looked at the throngs of people waiting in line to seek the confessional, I was beginning to doubt if I should have the honor of making my Easter confession there. Of a sudden an idea came to me. I saw two gen-' tlemen conversing in low tones in the rear of the church. I went up to them, stated my case, explaining that my time was so limited that a long delay might mean no confession at all for me. They almost fell over one another in their efforts. One sought a gentleman standing a few feet away, whom I presume was the watchman, for when my case was explained he waited not for one more word but made me follow him. I saw him directing me to a confessional where if there was one there were a hundred men and women waiting in line. I wanted to argue with him for I felt a little peculiar, but he would have none of it and he planted me at the head of the procession. He explained to the first few that I was leaving' the city in a few hours, and you'd think I was a king the way the people smiled at me and bowed away. One lady was just on the point of walk- ing into the confessional, but when she heard him speak she wheeled around and insisted that I go in ahead of her. I was so touched that I could not even mumble a thanks. I made my confession and the priest that heard it was surely a wonder. After I had finished and left the church, on my way back home, I don't think that I have ever felt happier in my life and every day of my life 32 THE I G NA Tl A N I will recall the whole incident, it was all so wonderful. I had a bite to eat and was in bed by 10 o'clock. I was awake at six o'clock, had my breakfast at the H-Y and was down to get the boat at the Battery at 7:50 for the island. W'e had no sooner set foot on the island when I heard Church Call being' sounded on the bugle. I hurried upstairs to the Knights of Columbus hall and found myself just in time for Mass. There were about three hundred boys in blue assembled and quite a num- ber of women nurses from the army hospital. Mother. it was beautiful and the priest gave a talk that touched our hearts. He said that it was the most beautiful ceremony that he ever officiated at and further that he pre- ferred to be making his Easter offering here than in any of the world's finest cathedrals. At the conclusion of the Mass all sang Come Holy Ghost and I might add that the eyes of the women were bedimmed with tears as we filed out and you can be sure that the memory of the event will live forever in all our hearts. I was so happy that I went below and despatched a telegram to you. Now for your letters of the 20th and 22nd. That must have been quite a spectacle prepared for John Hcformick. I guess that it's only another prcof that San Francisco knows how. There is no low down, Dad, about prospects at Pelham: as I said before we were all disappointed, but in times like these no complaints should be made. IYC are all as happy and look forward to another opportunity. Mother, dear, you must be having' a great time alone with the other mothers CXCl12'lll0'll'1Q' stories about my Fu son. I suppose llill Sheehan was a pleased sailor boy when he received orders to come East. There is nothing like it in the world, folks: the more a fellow sees, the greater and broader will be his experience when all is ROVINGS OF fl JACKIE 33 said and done. Every time I think of how fortunate I was to have had four months at San Pedro among friends all the time and then to have been sent East with them, I feel like jumping' up and shouting. I think that I have been as fortunate as any boy in the serviceg don't you think so? You are sure some patriotic mother, judging' by the pieces you selected. I'll bet you'll have Dad joining' the home guard, now that the patriotic spirit is beginning' to manifest itself over you. I even noted the service stamp on your letterheads. Yes, Dad, they give us rates at hotels and theatres: we get rooms at the Longrove and the Continental for 31.50 which to others are 52.50. As for theatres, you know they have agencies all over town, so when you Wish to geo to a show you may get your pick at one of these agencies. As a rule they charge a small premium, but there is one at 42nd and Ilroadvvay which is conducted along' the lines of the stock exchange: on a large blackboard the names of the shows playing' and the tickets available for the same are placed. Here we received a discount of about 30 per cent. Speaking of the New York Times, I wonder did you receive the one I sent you. You are right at that, Dad. my candid and honest opinion is that we have a better library than the one here. I had to laugh, Mother dear, when you wrote that you were writing' just after having' done the dishes. Never mind. just wait till your big son comes back. I'll do all the dishes for you and so quickly that it will make your head swim. Wfe received our orders just a few minutes ago, to pack up and prepare to leave. Now don't worry, folks, you may not hear from me for awhile, but everything is O. K. Don't forget, Mother dear, you promised to take care of yourself, and Dad, dear, you see that she does. All my love to you both. Clzfzrlm. LIEUTENANT FRANK A. FLYNN, R. F. C iiiieutrnant Ellrank A. illlgnn, ill. EH. GI. M SMASH HALTS SAN 1fRANcISCo pig 3,1 BQYS PLAN, was the headline in one ni yi of our evening papers of March 4th, giv- ing the general details of the accident that P' befell Lieutenant Frank Flynn, Instructor in G! ii ' the British Royal Flying Corps, our own dear Pep, at Camp Benbrook, Taliaferro Field, Texas. From that account we thought that we had seen our last of 'fPep. f'His head had been crushed and he was lying at death's door in the Fort Wforth Aviation School Hos- pitalf, Most of us were satisfied with that account, commiserated poor '4Pep, remembered him, perhaps, in our prayers and then waited for more news. Not so thoughtful Yin Com- pagnog he took immediate action by sending a wire offering Pep his sympathy, and here is the telegram he received in reply: Fort W'orth, Texas, March 7, 1018. My face bustedg otherwise O. K. Regards to all the gang. PEP. That was good news, indeed. It showed that no matter how badly the Lieutenant, pronounced Leftenant-Frank is very particular about that pronunciation-had been injured, his spirit remained as indomitable as ever: with that intact we knew that, if he had half a chance, the old ight would pull him through. Nor were we mistaken. On May 12th, Pep, in full uniform, cane included, and sporting one of those-well, you know what I mean--on his upper lip, was present at the blessing of our service flag, and many were the eyes that were raised from the prayer-books as the handsome young officer, with somewhat of a Texas cowboy's roll, marched down the main aisle to a place of honor near the altar-rail. Pep is not his old-time self yet, far from it, nor is he 36 THE IGNATIAN wont to talk much about himself, but in the course of a long conversation I managed to learn a few of his experiences. which I hope the many friends of the I-ieu-pronounced I.eft-tenant will enjoy. lfirst, Pep thinks that here in the United States, and in California in particular, we feel few of the hardships resulting from war. In the training camps in Canada the life is pretty hard. I thought and most of us, exercising the soldier's privilege of criticizing. spoke pretty freely among ourselves on the subject, that conditions at the hrst R. 0. T. C. at the Presidio were at times almost intolerable. Yet we were fed well, had no K. P. duty or scrubbing of floors and such like duties to perform. Wfhy, the student in the first camp - Pep, by the way, won his commission as a 2nrl Lieutenant at the Presidio's hrst camp- led a life that was almost soft in comparison with that of the Canadian carlet. He has to perform all the menial tasks before men- tioned and others as well. XVe were called the pampered pets of the British Army, yet the only consideration shown us was the privilege of half-fares on trains, half-rates to all places of amusement and total exemption from all war-taxes. Ilere there is not the war-time atmosphere thick with melancholy, nor the thousands of war-worn veterans inva- lided home from France and Belgium. Conditions here seem almost impossible, all too good to be true. I am anxious to go 'acrossf but I know full well that just as soon as I get there I shall be sighing for home. It is only after one has been away that he can appreciate 'the land of sunshine and flowers' I-But what about flying? 0, yes, I took my first 'solo' after an hour and three-quarters of instruction. It is the Canadian and British principle that a man is a Hyer at once or not at all. The sensations of that first rifle alone are indescribable. I felt like the greatest man in the world. Once I landed 1 had to write home imme- LIEUTENANT FR.-INK A. FLYYQY, R. F. C. 37 diately and sleep did not close my eyes that night. I was too elated almost to eat. Here Pep got off something characteristic in response to a question regarding the qualifications necessary for an aviator. Forty per cent. nerve, sixty per cent. natural aptitude and one hundred per cent confidence. ll'hen instructing I always gave three hours to a new cadet, if he wished it, but most of them were flying alone before the third hour. Most of us never think of danger, though we do get into some trying situations. Twice, for example, I was flying on days that up above were clear and bright, almost ideal, but when 1500 feet or so from the ground I felt myself in a Texas 'northerf Talk about cold and going fast! I was moving at the rate of sixty miles an hour before I struck that driving wind, itself blowing at least sixty miles an hour, so you can imagine how I flew along. At times the air seems bumpy and full of waves, your wings will tip and then you have to think quickly and show your natural aptitude and nerve. Stunts? llfhy, we encourage the cadets to perform all sorts of the so-called stunts. All the tricks of the flyers at the Exposition are ordinary movements now for avia- tors. One of our favorite tricks in Texas was to swoop down upon the cattle in order to watch them scurrying in all directions. One day we, a cadet and myself, had alighted on account of engine trouble near a large hog ranch. No sooner had we touched the ground than a farmer came rushing towards us shouting, 'One of yer air-birds ffe-.v over my pens yesterday, skeering my pigs. I'll git my gun after yer, if yer do it aginf 'fVVe had many a funny experience too, in the small towns we flew to. Most of the inhabitants had never seen a plane before and we at once became objects of the greatest curiosity. The whole town would turn out 38 THE 1GN.4 TIAN to see us, write all over the wings and if we had not kept a close watch would have cut the plane to piecesf, But how do you account for all the accidents at our flying schools? To Pep there seemed nothing strange about these accidents. First, so many more men are flying now than ever before. Then, too, it is not sufficient merely to be able to fly to be of value as a military aviator, everyone must be a second Art Smith or Lincoln Beachy. Some men, also, get sick and faint in the air. I have seen planes, said Pep, fall to the ground ab- solutely without any attempt on the part of the pilots to direct them. Our explanation has been that the men fainted or on account of the high altitudes fell asleep. I have at times noticed myself becoming drowsy. Some accidents, of course, are due to the pilotls becoming rattled and losing his head, or to a disarrangement of the mechanism. In my own accident, for example, we were in a tail spin about four hundred feet from the ground, when the controls refused to work. Wie could see the ploughed ground below us, but the thought of seeing our Guardian Angels never entered my mind. lVe figured on coming out of the spin all right and would have done so if we had been a little higher. As it was, O'Carroll, the cadet. had his right leg broken in three places, while I was fortunate enough to escape with a broken nose and a face that was literally broken from cheek to cheek. Of course, we were pretty badly bruised all over the body. but thanks be to God, suffered no internal injuries. I am on furlough now, got an extension of it a day or so ago, but don't know yet for how long. Before coming home I went up alone once just to see how it felt. The old fascination still remained, and I am waiting anxiously for the time when I shall be allowed to rejoin the Black Cat Squadronf' Raymond T. Feely, A. B., L. L. B., 'I6. W. Sheehan, U. S. N. .

My Dearest liolks: lletween the first and second trick at guard, l want to get a letter written to you. Today l am on guard, my post being on the forecastle, right up in front. l asked to be assigned to this duty, our platoon furnishing the Company guard today. lf anything interesting is to happen, 1 want to see it, if possible. My hours on duty are from 12 to 23 and 2 to 6, and to-night again from 12 to 2: and 6 to 8 in the morning. lYe are now right in the midst of the sub- marine zone, and if anything is to happen, it will from now on, l wish l could tell you all about our trip from the time we left Camp Greene' to the present. But the censorship is quite strict. Hence. l must omit all reference to matters of a military nature and speak mainly of personal events. Naturally, such a letter cannot be yery interesting: the rest will have to keep until a future, if We eyer come across again to the States. Vtfe are within a short distance of our destination: but, strange to say, we don't know what our destination is. I doubt if our officers themselves know where we are going. Thats the way things are done nowadays. But if this secrecy helps to get us there safely, we should worry where there is. lVe'll know when we get there: besides, it doesnt make much difference to what part of France We go, provided we go there. And it looks as if the chances are good that we'll reach shore safely. :X short While longer and there won't be any doubt about it. Strange to say, l havent been the least bit worried about the trip, or a bit anxious. l hope this letter will reach you promptly, as I understand that mail, ready at the time of docking, will be forwarded to the Vnited States on the first steamer and censored on the other side to avoid delay, XVQ have been LETTERS' FROM OVER THERE' -ll very fortunate in having good weather most of the way across. Only two days did we have what might be called rough weather. At times the sea resembled a millpond more than an ocean, so that altogether we have had a good trip. A lot of our soldiers, though, have never seen water. mush less crossed an ocean, and at times we had a good many cases of mal de mer. Happily, as I expected, I wasn't sick a moment, which undoubtedly helped materially to the enjoyment of the trip. NVhen I say enjoyment, I must use the word advisedly, as I could hardly call it enjoying this trip. I cannot help going back in spirit to 1909 when I had a real enjoyable time. But that was for pleasure and this is for war. Prob- ably as good a comparison as could be made, would be to call that trip travelling de luxe and the present one trav- elling steerage. There's this much we have on the steerage travel, and that is that our companions are a great deal cleaner and much more agreeable. Otherwise, I can't say there's much difference. We sleep in bunks two in a row and in tiers of three high. I am fortunate in having one of the best, or had, I better say, the least worst if such grammer is permissible. Mine is a top one with a ventilator directly over my head, a port hole but a few feet away and a stairs, leading to the deck, right alongside. So as far as air is concerned I am very lucky, more fortunate than all the rest, or than most of them. Then again, I have an electric light right above my head, so that when the wind is blowing and we cannot read on deck, I read in my bunk. Hence, our sleeping ac- commodations can hardly be called palatial. A sardine in a can has elbow room, compared to the room we have. That's one of the reasons I haven't removed my clothing since boarding the ship. The other one is also an im- portant one, namely, that we would not waste any time putting our clothes on, should the necessity arise of aban- doning the ship. I hope we shall not have the opportunity 42 THE IGNATIAN of testing whether the life preservers can keep us floating or not. The water just now looks too cold. A few days ago we might have thought otherwise. Feeding is quite a difficulty on board. VVe chow in the navy twice a day. They seem to overlook the fact that sea air creates an appetite. But twice a day is often enough considering the difhculty of getting it. Believe me, I would not want to line up a third time, although by this time I am fully acclimated to lining up. That seems to be the only of the chief occupations in the army. Qne lines up for anything and everything. VVell, having procured the much-desired chow Knot much variety, not an over- abundancej in our mess kit, we sit down, not on tables, but on the crowded Hoor. XVhen the steamer rolls, itis quite an acrobatic feat not to stumble over everybody else's coffee. I always manage to take away a couple of large pieces of bread Cline bread, this navy breadj, so that be- tween meals I have bread and butter or jam or pickles or chocolate or anything else we can procure from the canteen. Vlfith it all I haven't lost any weight and I manage to get by. Only I anxiously anticipate the pleasure of a few good French meals with a bottle of wine. I hope they will' allow us sufficient liberty to get this. Some day perhaps I shall have another ocean trip, but taken in my own way. Con- sidering that we are going to war, we could be worse off. As men have to be fed, quarters kept clean, order pre- served, we are naturally assigned to occasional duties. My duties have consisted mainly of guard duty. Today makes my fourth day during the trip. So that you see we have a good deal of time to ourselves, most of which is taken up with reading. I never saw such a demand for books, not- withstanding the fact that we have any number of them. Truly, ours is a reading community. Most of the books are furnished by the American Library Association. This associa- tion deserves all the support the people at home can give it in the way of books or money. I have read a few, among LETTERS FROM OVER THERE 43 them some of Shakespeares You see I am getting quite literary. Every day I also put in a couple of hours of French study. I hope it won't do me any harm. Well, before long I shall have to go on guard again, so I better bid you au revoir. I hope you are all feeling as well, happy, and cheerful, as yours truly. lVith love to you all, I am as ever, affectionately. Bob. A later date- Have arrived at our point of destination without having been hit by a submarine. Thanks be to God. The sight of dear old France thrills me and it is impossible for me to tell you how delighted I am to be in French territory. My wishes have been achieved. Now I want to get to work.

I received Holy Communion this morning in the Cathedral. It is a beautiful structure, and to-day it looked splendid. There is a Belgian priest there who speaks perfect English. He did not preach at the early mass, but was scheduled to speak later. This is a great Catholic country: it seems as if every one you meet is of the same faith. There is any number of churches in town, but the procedure is much different from that at home. The mass is said very quickly and the singing is peculiar. NVell, I guess everything is about the same in San Francisco. It is hard to realize how far away I am. This is a beautiful country about here: it surprised me very much, as it contains many interesting sights. The weather, however, has been very mean the past few days, rainy and miserable. I suppose by this time you have received one of my letters at least. I'm anxious to hear. Hive have been here now close to a month, and are becoming' pretty much accustomed to conditions and duties. I manage to use a few words in French. which comes in very handy. The only trouble is, when you ask for something in French, they immediately take it for granted that you speak the language Huently, and the result is a jabber, jabber to you in response, and you are completely lost. Everything is all right with me, except that I am be- COUUUS' VCFY, VCry lonesome for U. S. A. already.

HG, 35th Eng'rs, A. E. F., A. P. O. No. 735. My dear Mother : Since last I wrote you I have received your letter, dated December 6, l9l7, and another box containing socks, sweater, a magazine, pneumatic pillow, and the Olympic Club Specials, the gracious gift of brother James. This letter must have become lost, strayed or stolen, but, nevertheless, it arrived here safely, and it is up to me to answer it re- gardless of the fact that I have previously answered letters of a much later date. I have a slight recollection of one of the first letters that I received from you after I had arrived in sunny for muddyl Ifrance. In it you asked me when I, or some of the men working with me, thought that the war would be over. I purposely avoided answering this question, as I did not know, but just the oth d ' I and it is as follows: er ay discovered the answer, LETTERS FROM HOVER THERE -17 Absolute knowledge I have none: But my aunt's washerwoman's sister's son Heard a policeman on his beat Say to a laborer on the street That he had a letter just last week Writteii in the finest Greek From a Chinese coolie in Timbuctoo VVho said the negroes in Cuba knew Of a colored man in a Texas town l1Vho got it straight from a circus clown That a man in Klondike heard the news From a gang of South American Jews About somebody in Borneo XVho heard a man who claimed to know Of a swell society female fake Wfhose mother-in-law will undertake To prove that her seventh sisters niece Had stated in a printed piece That she has a son who has a friend Q XVho knows when the war is going to endf That is a very indefinite answer, but is the only one that l can give at the present time that hits anywhere near the spot. Jack goes on to describe the ceremonies attendant upon the burial of three American soldiers, who were killed in battle and interred, in the early part of November, with religious and mili- tary ceremony: An altar was improvised and elaborately decorated in the village, and the chaplain of a French regiment con- ducted the church services in the presence of a large number of troops. Following the church ceremony, the cortege pro- ceeded to a field adjacent to the village, and formed on three sides of a square, the bodies being placed in front of the grave on the fourth side. The American Hag was placed 48 THE IGNA TIAN over the casketsg then a General in the French Army arrived and took his position with the troops. Immediately the troops presented arms and the French field music and band playedea funeral march. The chaplain performed the reli- gious ceremony at the grave. Then the General advanced to the center of the square and addressed the troops and the dead. as follows: Of their Own free will they had left their happy and prosperous country to come over here. They knew that the war was continuing in Europe: they knew that the forces fighting for honor, love, justice, civilization, were still checked by the long-prepared forces which are serving the powers of brutal domination, oppression and barbarity: they knew that an effort was still necessary. They wished to give us their help, and also their generous hearts did not forget old historical memories, while others forgot more recent ones. They ignored nothing of the circumstances: nothing had been concealed from themg neither the length nor hardships of this war: nor the violence of the battle, nor the dreadful- ness of the new weapons, nor the perfidy of the foe. Noth- ing stopped them. They had accepted to lead a hard and strenuous lifeg they had crossed the ocean despite great peril: they had taken their place at the front by our side: and they had fallen, facing the foe in a hard and desperate hand to hand ight.

You already probably have heard a great deal of the ghost story that brought the rightly famous Red and Blue 145-lb. basketball team to the attention of one of San Franciscos city editors and almost into the Sunday magazine section of the yellowest of the American yellow C. J 'l M journals. It was on March the seventeenth, a day which all good Irishmen observe with deepest respect, that in my daily wanderings-we Irish are privileged characters abone-I noticed this aforesaid team celebrating their latest victory in a lonely spot, somewhere in California. But horror of all horrors, there mingling with my countrymen in the joyous celebration of the Patron of Ireland's feast day, was one known throughout the Ignatian world as jew Sillaw. I was provoked, nay shocked at the sight, and into my brain, outraged by the daring of this young Hebrew and the thoughtlessness of his companion, came thoughts of dire vengeance. O, for my shellalah of old! Yet upon viewing the scene at closer range, I found that the poor gossoons themselves had given me an ideal opportunity for the discharging of my patriotic and religious duty. It seemed that one of the team, Fran Nagar by name, had failed to report for K. P. duty that morning, and as a punishment the lads re- solved to scare him by saying that the house was haunted. Interested, I awaited developments. At the dinner table, Codd Sully asked YalH Gun who 52 THE IGNATIAN sat opposite him, if the night before about three-quarters of an hour after they had gone to bed, he had not seen a light moving up and down the hallway. No, replied Yal as did also the rest of the party, HBoy Lee, -Iewn Sillaw, VVard Hoborn, Fran'y Nagar and Upa Iuffy. IfVell, I may have been dreamingf' said Codd in his drawling way, but I could have sworn that I saw a light pass up and down that hall at least six times. It made such an impression on me that at times I almost think that i got up to see if anything was wrong. And yet again there is a sort of haziness in my mind about the whole affair and I feel that I must have been having a nightmare. I didn't mention the thing before because I didn't wish to scare you fellows. I thought that if any of you had seen the same thing you would say something about it, but with the rain beating down upon the shingled roof in torrents. and the wind sighing and howling through the redwoods, I am beginning to fell awfully 'spookyfi' Now was the time for 'fYal to get in his deadly work. And he in his suavest tones spoke up, I'm sorry, fellows, that this thing has happened again, and I don't wish to frighten you, but my mother saw that light at least three times before. And it made such an impression upon her, that if I had my way we'd all get out of here tonight, but in this storm that is impossiblef' As if by magic an atmosphere of deep gloom began to settle slowly over the gathering. Almost perfect silence reigned, and the tricksters used this to their advantage. Every creaking of the house, every rattle of the window was construed as the work of a diabolical fiend. Knogkg were heard in various parts of the room, and knives and forks were hurled through the air. And all this so adroitly and so realistically, that eyes began to ask other eyes across the table if this was really a part of the game. The Whole Crowd began to feel Creepy, Nagar was visibly frightened. SOLVED AT L.-IST 53 Dinner over, other pranks began. Electric lights and candles went out. queer shriekings and howlings resounded throughout the house, while the mysterious knockings con- tinued. Nagar was still ignorant of the plot, and he gathered more fear. At last the time had Come for me to vent my pent-up spleen upon the seoffing Jew You know how those of his race pull other people's legs. Wlell, as he was sitting in a corner driving poor Nagar almost to desperation, I got hold of his pedal extremity and gave it a terrible yank. He sereeehed with pain, nor could the combined efforts of Lee, Hoborn, Nagar and 'lutfy relieve his agony. All the while the Sully person sat there poking fun at the squirming Jew I suppose that was his part in the little comedy. but I made up my mind to drive that smile off. It exasperated me, and as the future 'ltooth-carpenter stepped out of the room, on some hendish errand bent, I struck his adamantine head, and he fell like lead. Lee rushed to help him and dragged him back into the room. Ilut I was not yet through with the Israelite. I-Ie, too. felt my power, and was soon laid eold beside his former tor- mentor. My scheme was working famously. Sully and Sillaw lay stretched on the Hoof, with Nagar kneeling beside them im- ploring them to speak. They finally heard him, and Ifran. quite beside himself, at the first sign of returning conscious- ness broke out into husky song, and soon had the crowd with him. Beautiful? Vtfhy the clamor of noise had the Metropolitan Chorus hushed to a whisper. And still they never seemed to tire. But to make a long story short, my sweetest pleasure came after they had gone to bed and were just about to fall asleep. Then light in hand I paraded down the hall, moaning as I went. No Sioux medicine man at a medicine dance ever sounded more ghoulish. W'ith a shriek the 45's 54 THE IGNATIAN leaped out upon the floor and rushed towards Nagar who had crawled beneath his bed and was praying louldly for mercy. At iirst all tried to dissemble their own fears by directing their efforts towards quieting Fran, but when they found that Codd was missing they were panic-stricken. A hasty search revealed him lying by his bed, apparently asleep, though his eyes and mouth were opened wide, and he was breathing gaspingly. First-aid treatment brought Sully to. and feeling that my work had been well done, I allowed the boys to quiet down, while I betook myself to more familiar haunts, there to recount to Brian Boru, Daniel O,Connell and all the other Gaelic patriots how I had chastised the presumptious Jew and his thoughtless Irish Hpalsf' Rory O!C01171f0I'.

And if he cannot show these he will be looked upon and rightly so as a traitor to his country. This is the time for whole-souled action. To-day and every day it is the duty of every American to support the Government in every possible way. Everyone may not be able to don the khaki, nor even buy Liberty Bonds nor Thrift Stamps, but everyone can aid in the production or at the least the conservation of foodstuffs: he can aid the Red Cross in its salvage work: he can stop unjust criticism of governmental officials, and he can certainly beg Almighty God to bless the gallant Sons of America who are so bravely, so gallantly sacrificing all that they have and all that they are to the cause of Humanity and Democracy. Vincent IV. Hallimm. San Francisco is to be congratulated on the possession of a Police Chief with a very evident intention to dras- tically suppress a lawless element of KNIGHTS OF our citizenry who have been operating LIBERTY throughout the State as the Knights of Liberty. This organization, com- posed either of misguided patriots or possibly pro-German zealots masquerading in the fantastic dress of the Klu Kluk' providing criminal entertainment for themselves and absolutely ignoring constitutional methods of enforc- ing law, stands as a dangerous and disgraceful menace which should not be encouraged or tolerated by any civilized country, much less by one whose verv sons are shedding their blood for the cause of Democracy and equal rights to all. Although apparently sincere, they uncover no cases EDITORIAL 59 of enemy activity, but vent their force on helpless men already registered and under the surveillance of the Fed- eral authorities, and endeavor to pound Democratic prin- ciples into these possibly harmless persons by taking them from their beds at night, and at the whim of a mob. subjecting them to a lashing followed by the conventional tar and feathers, or dangling from a convenient tree. These reprehensible and revolting actions, besides af- fording a means of avenging personal injuries, will also engender war bitterness and supply the enemy with ex- cuses for taking reprisals on our own innocent and power- less Americans, whether they be interned, or prisoners of war. Some county officials have been prone to wink at the escapades of these night riders, under the mistaken as- sumption that the organization is formed with the inten- tion, or is capable of, stamping out disloyalty. But it is patent that they mask what is merely a lawless and exciting sport under the guise of patriotic service. These patrioteers, with their nocturnal rovings, are better suited to No lNIan's Land, where they might accomplish some good. Indeed they must earn the contempt of our real Americans over there who are now sacrificing their lives on the blood-soaked plains of Picardy. Vlfhile our country is urgently requesting more volunteers, these men, many of good lighting age, prefer to play safe the game of war by confining it to a fifty-to-one lynching- bee, thereby impeding the country's officials, compelling them to cope with the strong arm gangs of these pseudo Knights of Liberty or Pershing Patriots. They'll start just once,'l says Chief Vlfhite, Hand then something is going to happen to themf? Every law- abiding citizen should applaud the Chiefs resolution and back him in his suppression of the resurrected klansman. PV1-11. N. Thorpe. J. P. Wall V. I. Compagno E. J. Hall I. N. Maroevich W.

Qur SENIOR membership, however, has been cut into greatly CLASS by the war, being at present less than half that of a year ago. Among the boys who have heard the call to arms, Bill Sheehan, Ford Edwards and Carroll Collins are now in the Navy: Tim McGrath and Dutch Vander Zee were last heard from at Camp Lewis: Charlie Conlon is a sergeant in the Quartermas- ter's Department at the Presidio, while Hall Evans holds a like office with the same department at Camp Fremont. Bill Brennan is also at the latter camp, having joined the 319th Engineers a short time ago. Nor must we fail to omit mention of Pep,' Flynn, the life of the class for three years. Pep was recently injured in an aeroplane accident in Texas, when he was instructing as a lieuten- ant with the British Flying Corps. He has now recovered from his injuries and hopes to be back in the service soon. The Seniors are confident that there will be Usome- thing doingu when Pep gets into action over there. There were rumors about that jim Morris, who saw active service in '98, had gone back on the war path. Jim's last battle, however, was with the Appellate Court in the Uctober Bar ex's, from which he came forth with fiying colors. He has recently opened an office and we wish him success. The Moot Court, which is now holding sessions on Monday evening in judge Deasy's courtroom, is receiving enthusiastic interest. Cases are prepared and argued in a manner that makes the judges' task a difficult one. The juniors who acted as jurymen in a recent trial admit that Charly XNing's pathetic eloquence brought tears to their eyes, while joe O'Malley would persuade the aver- 62 THE IGNA TIAN age court that yes meant no, in arguing a case with Ed Holl. Preparation for the faculties is of course being given the greatest attention at this time. VVith the dreaded ordeal only a short time hence, some of the men in the IA class say they would just as soon be drafted before then, however, we all feel confident. The Bar examina- tion must also be taken hereafter, but with our efficient four-year course under our able professors, this latter examination should be comparatively easy. f. Wall. In the greying, fast-failing light of early evening, the Junior C.lassroom seems a place peopled by spooks. In an imaginative mood, we may gaze at the JUNIOR rows of empty chairs and see once again the CLASS faces of our old friends, now in the service of the United States. There sat that merry wit, Chick Hiiseman. It's lucky for the Germans that their sense of humor is armor- plated, because if Chick ever got a crack at them, he'd kid,' them to death. Over in the corner, close, very close to the stove, sat Long Joe Pritchard. Poor Joe had a terrible time en- listing. He had ambitions to soar in the blue empyrean. and started out full of confidence to enlist in the Avia- tion Corps, but the examiners listened to his heart, and heard a murmur which sounded something like this: 'fObak-Durham-Melachrino. So they decreed that Joe hand gone high enough already. Nothing daunted by his re1ect1on, he started on a tour of all the recruiting offices in town, and finally succeeded in enlisting in the Ambu- lance Corps. If everyone had Ioe's patriotic fervor draft laws would be useless. And of ico-juristic prodigy, DOC MCFQ course you remember our auburn-haired med- Gly?

John Connolly, who formerly gathered facts for the sporting page of a local newspaper, is now gathering the same for Uncle Sam. To come back to the Class of '19 as at present consti- tuted, the rest, residue and remainder are but a handful, a scarce half-dozen. Chief among these are those veterans of various engagements finally culminating in the great Battle of Matrimony, whose incapacity for further fight- ing Uncle Sam has officially recognized. Their fighting spirit has been gassed to death these many years. The others are suffering only from some physical deficiency. F1'ede1 ic T. Leo.

John Conlan, who has warmed many of our' hearts and incidentally our hands with his fiery head on cold nights, has deserted our fast-diminishing number to join the photographic division of the Signal Corps.

Ray XYil- liamson is still in our midst and is holding down a job in the Coast Artillery at the Presidio. Pat McNicholas. our old Gaelic scholar, has joined the Navy, and comes over once in a while to show the boys his uniform. By this time next year I guess none of the old boys will be left excepting cripples and married men, two synonymous terms. The other night Mr. Earry said: Now, Mr. lYilliam- son, suppose you had Maroevichs note for S3100 and wished to collect, what would you do? And Hr.

And it is with the greatest pride that we see the long list, every day growing larger, of those Alumni and former students of St. Ignatius who are engaged in furthering this noble cause, whether it be in actual service or in the capacity of those who are doing their bit at home by assisting the government in financing this great war. But before we mention Alumni in particular we would ask you to read our service list and note the number of families, members of which formerly attended St, Ignatius, and who have two and at least in one case three brothers actually in the service. W'e have not the exact number at hand but we remember the surprise we experienced when our attention was called to this point. Alumni, Alma Mater is proud of your noble record, proud that you have learned her teachings well, and proud that now in the crucial test you are not being found Wanting. The lgnatianf' too, is proud of your record, and hopes that every former student of St. Ignatius will help to keep the Editor of this department informed of any items that he thinks may be of interest to the old boys. At the initial meeting of the newly-appointed City Planning Commission the members selected Matt l. Sul- livan, A. B., LL. B., for the post of chairman.

B., has recently been appointed Chairman of the VVar Saving Stamp C.ommit- tee in San Francisco, and for the past few months '07 has been actively engaged in promoting the inter- ests of the Government in that line. He has been remarkably successful up to the present, for, due in no small part to his earnest endeavors, the man, woman or child in San Francisco who does not own a Thrift Stamp is a rarity. Edwin 0'Hara, A. B., has recently been transferred from Fort Scott to Camp Meade, Maryland. Eddie is a Major now and is aptly following the footsteps '09 of his brother Jim, who when last heard from was also a Major. THE TGNATIAN wishes to con- gratulate Eddie upon his promotion and wants to see him go over the top with the best of luck. At the blessing of our Service Flag, Father John P.

Dear Folks: My usual week end letter. The first two weeks are gone, and if the remaining ten pass as rapidly, it will seem no time until this course is completed. Yesterday we were transferred to what they call the main ship,', and now, I take it, the real work begins. I see Jake only once in a while, and then only for a few minutes. Wfe are on the run from six in the morning until ten at night and in my flight -thatls a class among us aviators, you know-we have the proverbial twenty minutes for lunch. NVe drill two hours daily and march in company formation to every meal and class. Don't blame me for putting the meal ahead of the class in that last sentence. It was merely acciden- tal. Both are equally interesting and it doesn't matter greatly which comes first. Our course at the present time takes up practically everything from gas engines to electricity, save of course, steam heat and built-in bath tubs. Lots of the boys are trained along one or two lines before coming here, and it isn't so hard for them, but you take a couple of ath-a-letesu like jake and myself, whose early training ran largely to Blackstone, Ben McKinley and baseball-well, if we didn't enlist with a desire to clo some fighting, many's the time we'd be sore enough to fight anyhow. So, dear folks, you can see that there isn't any need for the Iiais'er's worrying about U. S. not getting results. VVe're living exponents of the truth of the grand old Shakespearean maxim, Theres more than one way to kill a cat. We have our new uniforms now and pardon nie, if I say that we look real natty. Jake looks like a page from the catalogue ot the House of Kuppenheimer. I-le says I look like a page from the Palace Hotel. California' s athletes are well represented here. Most pi-Omi- Hem, I think. is Frank Sloman, quarter-miler from San Fran- ALUMNI NOTES 73 cisco. His rival from U. C., Karl Goeppert, is also here, as is King, a former Blue and Gold sprinter. My flight runs largely to tennis players, with Johnny Strachan and Van Dyke Johns in the fold. Practically all of the colleges and universities are represented here. Of course not all the education foundries are as preten- tious as my Alma Mater, nor have all such formidable repre- sentatives as Jake and myself, but all in all it's a great outht, and I-don't know any life or experience I'd trade for this. I rang up Justin Fitzgerald for a few minutes the other eve- ning. Fitz still insists that his arm is all right, when as a mat- ter of fact it must be as dead as NVarren's-and his compares favorably with Ramesis XXXIII, who has been in the tiling cabinet for a good many years, unless the history I assimilated in Freshman is all wrong. I guess the youngsters at home must be crippled, for I haven't heard from a one. You might tell VVarren to lay off writing so much for old man Crothers' Bulletin, and dictate a couple of columns for the youth who subscribes himself VIN. P.

Here THE IGNATIAN, in the name of the Faculty, the Alumni and every student of St. Ignatius, wishes to ex- tend its deepest thanks to Ray and Joe Murphy, not to forget that other Joe -Farry-Stan. Riley and Ben Mc- Kinley, for the great sacrifices they made that Qur Service Flag Blessing might be the great success it Was. VVe know the spirit that animated their endeavors, but in order that this spirit may be handed down to all future generations, we here print the circular letter mailed to all the Alumni: 74 THE IGNATIAN ALUMNI ASSOCIATIGN ST. IGNATIUS UNIVERSITY May 8, 1918. Dear Fellow Alumnus: Your attention is again directed to the Blessing of the Service Flag of your Alma Mater at St. Ignatius Church on Sunday, May 12th. Our fellow alumnus, Rev. Jos. M, Gleason, will de- liver the sermon, and the services are under the direction of the several army chaplains located at the near-by camps. Represent- atives from all of the various religious, military and civil bodies about the bay counties will be in attendance, and a special effort is being made to have the members of the alumni present. Among the 378 stars C3 gold! represented on the Hag are many known personally to each one of us, and it would seem that words would be unnecessary to impress upon us the senti- ments of loyalty, of friendship and of duty that require our presence at an occasion where the blessing of God is called down upon our old fellow students, who are now serving in their nation's forces, and where we may publicly honor the three of our lads who have Hgone IN'est, and whose golden stars upon our service Hag glow like a halo, crowning the valor and the patriotism of their three hundred fellow Ignatians. In view, therefore, of the particularly appealing nature of this event, you are earnestly exhorted to be present, even though it entails a sacrilice, at this symbolic blessing of your old school- mates, who are now yielding the supreme sacrifice.

It certainly is a fact that lively patriotism and the mili- tary spirit have come to claim their dominant place at St. Ignatius, where formerly school spirit was the principle of activity. Many of our undergraduates have followed the example of the alumni in joining the colors, feeling in their hearts the sentiment which some one has thus de- scribed, The Student speaks: I will give my brain and my soul Oh!

XVar-Saving , or Liberty Bond drives launched at the University. The various corridors and the venerable halls of our school are profuselv decorated with service Flags, Red Cross lists, XVar-Saving-notices, war in- formation and Liberty Bond posters. Far be it from us to criticize the government, but the mention of Liberty Bond posters recalls a matter regarding UNIVERSITY NOTES 77 which we can whisper a word of advice into Uncle Sams ear. Be more select and artistic, Uncle, in your choice of appropriate poster subjects, at least at St. Ignatius. It was rather exasperating, when, one morning at the entrance to the University, the usual influx of husky native Ameri- cans was confronted by a poster, picturing a band of immi- grants trotting down the gang plank to make their debut in the United States, and, bearing the caption, Remember the land of your adoptionul But can you imagine on the next morning a crowd of University students, greeted by a beautiful poster on the opposite wall appealing to them to Buy liberty bonds for their CHILDRENU?

VIC-I-OR J, CLARKE, Mr. Stanislaus Riley presided at Debate 'V'eda'iSf the exercises of the evening. Two days later the whole society embarked for a launch ride on the bay. As soon as the Hprohibitionistsu could be coaxed away from their enthusiastic inspection of the winery of the California VVine Association at lVinehaven, the party steered for Paradise Cove, where the remainder of the day was devoted to a game of Hhair-raising baseball and to a swimming festival, in which the members dived from the deck of the launch for lurking submarines, as the lively strains of the ulculeles were wafted down the bay to the intern camp on Angel Island to the tune of Dum-de-deedle- de, dum-de-deedle-de, Kaiser Bills a bum! On the evening of April ll, the University offered an interesting program to the public at its Gold Medal Contest. A speech on America-the ORATORICAL lllainstay of Right Principles - AND ELOCUTION- was eloquently delivered by Mr. ARY CONTEST E. l. Fitzpatrick. Mr. Sigmund A. Ianas then recited a HVV31' Poem.

The judges at the contest were Messrs. George Patterson, Joseph Sweeney and Gerald Kenney. One afternoon during the semester, the students were agreeably surprised to see their old comrade, Mark De- vine, march briskly into their midst in MILITARY full military regalia. Mark had been with VISITORS us at College during the earlier part of the year but later on he had passed army ex- aminations and traveled back to Fort Leavenworth to re- ceive a thorough course in preparation for a lieutenancy in the cavalry. His return was welcomed by all the fel- lows with a greeting of Rahsl and cheers: he was ac- corded a place of honor with the Faculty at the monthly specimen in the afternoon, and at the suggestion of Father Kavanaugh he was unanimously yielded the Hoor in the Sophomore and Freshman English class, where he dc- livered an interesting lecture concerning his experiences and his studies at Leavenworth. Lieutenant Devine left for over there soon after. Then one day the Fathers at St. Ignatius received the significant little card, stating that he had arrived safely' in France- Over the top, Mark, and the best of luck. Another St. Ignatius boy, who was with us not so long ago but who won his way to a commission after an important course of military studies at Fortress Monroe, is T. Paul Ahern. After a long absence Paul returned from the East and came at once to the University, where he is well remembered among both students and professors. First Lieut. Ahern is at the present time stationed at lfort Canby, IVash. The latest students, however, to go forth from the classroom into the ranks, are our old friends and fellow Freshmen, Jim Cantlen and Joe Burns. They bade farewell to St. Ignatius only a few weeks ago to join the Radio Corps 30 THE IGNA TIAN of the Navy and are now engaged in study at the Mar- coni station at Tomales lilay, in preparation for a more advanced training in the East. The Freshmen are all say- ing, Good luck, fellowsg we are proud of the service stars that hang in the Freshmen class-room. During the last semester, the St. Ignatius students enjoyed the rare privilege of listening to the remarks of Fr. Patrice Flynn, a chaplain in the A MESSAGE French army, who had been touring the FROM THE United States with an eloquent, enthu- TRENCHES siastic and instructive message to the American people. The interest of his vivid descriptions, the power of his graphic portrayals of xvar's sad scenes, the beauty of his earnest appeals were all made doubly attractive and impressive by reason of his quaint, pleasing and charming French accent. He told the breathlessly attentive students that even in the' turmoil, the fire and the fury of war, there were scenes of pathetic beauty, examples of religious zeal, instances of moral grandeur. He told us that the heroic soldiers, in their grim trials, in their almost despairing duties, were turning more and more to the consolation of religion and to the sympathetic encouragement of the Cross. Then he described the historic charge of his boys in the at- tack on Fort Douamont, the key to Verdun, where every man murmured the battle slogan, They shall not passf' NVe could almost see his boys advancing beneath the fiery curtain of the barrage After relating to the as- sembled students a number of exciting, and beautiful per- sonal experiences, he concluded and left a lasting im- pression upon his listeners, each of Whom could well say, Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou hast given, And shall not soon depart. V Laudable are the efforts of our recently organized WAR Ehrift Stamp Bureau. Several drives ave been inaugurated and by this time an efficient system has been in- stalled at the school. f'Yin Hallinan is directing the work ORGANIZATIONS UNIVERSITY NOTES Sl and is receiving loyal support from the representatives of the various classes.

Al Young is the administrative genius of this department, and for ALEX J, YOUNG his executive ability and energetic effort, not only in this but in every enterprise of a similar nature at St. Ignatius, he deserves the highest praise. Preparations have begun for the annual launch ride of the Sanctuary Society. If the Society continues to in- crease in numbers, next year we shall SANCTUARY have to hire a ferryboat and not a SOCIETY launch for this annual outing, for never since the disaster of 1906 has the mem- bership been so high. The Society is justly proud of its Honor List of members who have responded to our country's call. Francis B. Lessmann, who ofliciated as Prefect for sev- eral successive terms, is at the present time stationed at Camp Lewis. Louis Gallagher, Corporal Lou, spent the winter at the same address and became so infatuated with the northern country that he persuaded his felloxvf acolyte of former days, Paul Fitzgerald, to pack his trunk and join him. Not so far away at Fort Canby, VVashing- ton, is a former secretary of the Society, lst Lieut. T.

Vlfith that spirit you can't help but be victoriousf' judging from the success of their Gold Medal Debate and from the reports of the members, the Junior Philhis- historian Debaters have completed a very J.

Hniurrnitg Athlvtirz llihen on Thursday evening, March l-lth, the referees whistle announced the close of our basketball game with Santa Clara,-a terrific battle by the way,-it sounded also the cessation of all intercollegiate athletics at St. Ignatius for the present semester at least. Many were the reasons given for this decision, but as the war is being forced to shoulder the blame for much this year, we may just as well say that it caused what in ordinary times most students would consider a great calamity. NYhat our basketball season was cannot be entirely seen from the records. Statistics may not lie, but certainly they do leave out many an illuminating circumstance. They do not tell for instance that on the very night of the California game our teamwork was broken up to a great extent by the sudden departure of our trusty captain, Henry Boyle, for the Quartermasters school at Jackson- ville. Florida: neither do they mention the trying hours at which our players practiced. The fellows did wonderfully well and deserve the greatest praise. They showed, too, a magnificent fighting spirit as manifested in the Santa Clara and St. Marys games, in both of which, when with the score overwhelm- ingly against them at the end of the first half, they came back valiautly and actually outscored their opponents. In but one game did the team seem outclassed and that was at Reno. Every other game was closely contested and well worth seeing. But why if the basketball and football seasons proved so successful, was baseball dropped? First, our registra- tion this year is unusually small and the same students have been participating in all branches of sport: secondly, a number of athletes had signed contracts with Uncle Sam and expected to be called any time: thirdly, the teams had not been supported by the Student Body as they should vi' orpe CMgr.J.

So, for the time being, athletics are dead at St. Ig- natius. But after the summer vacations football will be started again: in fact, the punters have been out for light practice already. lVe can't say now just what the pros- pects will be, but with Thorpe, Tub' O'Neill, Hallinan, the Ishi Brothers, -lanas, Lennon, Halpin, Mahan, Sweigert, and McLaughlin to build around, everything looks bright for a prosperous season. BASKETBALL. California 24, St. Ignatius 19. As already stated, the team was without the services of Captain Terry Boyle in this game, and the entire line-up had to be switched at the last moment. Larrecou was not able to start, and we entered the con- test with practically a green team. It is true neither team played real collegiate basketball, nor was this to be ex- pected as it was the first game of the year for each team. At half-time the score was eleven up, and until about the last three minutes of play, it was anybody's game. Then a couple of good shots by Salmina enabled California to win by five points. For California Salmina and Green starred, while Eddie Molkenbuhr and O'Neill did some clever passing for the Varsity, although neither shot as well as he did later in the season. The showing of a new man, VVagner, at center, was encouraging, though Maroe- vich's playing was not to be despised. Larrecou, who was nursing a sprained ankle, was able to last but a few minutes. All in all the team did better than anyone ever expected it to do. Stanford 31, St. Ignatius 19. On the night of February Sth the Varsity went down the peninsula to Palo Alto to meet the Cardinal team, and 86 THE IGNATIAN came back on the short end of a 31-19 score. However, the score does not in any way indicate the closeness of the game throughout. In the first half St. Ignatius was ahead until time was almost called, when some Stanfordite shot a Held goal just as the whistle was about to blow, thus making the score 11-11. In the second half the play was almost as close with the Varsity passing all around our opponents, but with shot after shot being missed by our forwards, Larrecou and Molkenbuhr, who for some un- known reason were entirely off-color. Iiut when the Cardi- nal players got the ball, which was not often, they shot unerringly, thus beating us out by 12 points. No shooting of much account was done on our team, while Sullivan did most of the scoring for Stanford. O'Neill's stellar play- ing at guard and the jumping of Xifagner at center were the only features of the game on our side. St. Ignatius 45-Davis Farm 19. On Saturday night, February 16, our boys won their first league victory by simply playing rings around the boys from Davis Farm. O'Neill, XVallis and Larrecou got busy early in the first half, and after that the game was never in danger. Tub and Bert had a great night, scoring 18 and 17 points, respectively. Cronin in this game showed that he was just about rounding into the form that was to sig- nalize his play in our future contests. The guards, too, Larrecou and Wfilliamson played more of a defensive game, Larry especially smothering pass after pass and at the same time fed our forwards beautifully, For Davis, Harper did some nice shooting from almost impossible distances, College of Pacific 29, St. Ignatius 52. In the easiest game of the season for the Varsity,- that against the College of the Pacific, the wearers of the Red and lilue triumphed by a score of 52-29A Minus the services of our two best bets, Captain 0,Neill and Lar- UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS S7 recou, who were on the sick list, the team went on the court under the leadership of Ray Vllilliamson. In the second half almost the whole second team was on the Hoor in place of the Varsity. The most interesting feature of the game was the emulation aroused between Bert VVallis and Eddie Mo -Cit's too long to spelll-over their re- spective basket-shooting abiilty. After going through the pile of statistics after the game, Eddie was awarded the Derby for the occasion as he had coaxed in thirteen shots, while Bertie could only make nine fall through the rim. Also we must not forget to mention the fact that Yin Hallinan made his initial appearance in a league game this evening, taking his part off well. St. Mary's 36, St. Ignatius 26. On Saturday evening the team, accompanied by a Ween band of rooters journeyed across to Oakland to battle our old rivals. The game was hard fought from the start, harder perhaps than was expected by our op- ponents. Qur team played a defensive game and did not early realize that they were greatly outclassedf' They did devote their efforts to preventing St. lXlary's team from scoring, but we deny most emphatically that they did not play Hstraight, clean basketball as The Collegians athletic correspondent would have his readers believe. At half time St. Marys was in the lead, 15 to 2. Vie offer no alibis, but simply point to the score at the end of the game, 36-26, and to the fact that in the second half we outplayed St. Marys, 24 to 21. Possibly there was a big element of luck in the five goals shot by Rlolkenbuhrf'-it was not Vlfilliamson, kind Editor, who made those five shots, -but why not give the devil his due? For the Varsity, Larrecou and Molkie starred, while Ritchie and Graf scintillated for the Oaklanders, though their whole team was well balanced. lYe congratulate them on their 88 THE IGNATIAN championship, and feel proud of the fact that it was our honor to give them their closest game in the California- Nevada League, though we do feel that The Collegian has done us a grave injustice in accusing us of playing unclean basketball. IEDITORS NOTE: Mel Cronin forgets in his modesty his own wonderful game at center. He was all over the court, guard- ing his man at all times and shot a couple of goals himselfl Santa Clara 41-St. Ignatius 40. It was some game, fellows, and you who missed it, missed an exhibition that for pure gameness and pluck has, in the writers humble opinion, not been equaled in all our athletic history. The closest approach to it was the St. Ignatius-Yerba lluena Hospital football game last November, when, after the husky Iackies at the very beginning of the first half had piled up thirteen points in about half as many minutes. our lightweights came right back and led at half time by one point. That was some comeback, but it can't be compared with the one staged in the gym'y on the night of March 1-lth, when, with the score at half-time reading 24 to 8 against them, the S. I. battlers returned to the court and literally ran away from Santa Clarals giants in the second half, scoring 32 points to their opponents' 17, losing the contest by a point. Over the first half let us drop a veil: the fellows did everything but play basketball. XYhether it was the weight and size of their adversaries, or the news of Lar- recou's accident, a sprained ankle received just before the game, is hard to say. They were trying every moment, there could be no mistake about that, but their exhibition from an artistic standpoint was far from pleasing. Santa Clflffli OU the CO11trary, was passing cleverlv and finding the basket with maddening ease. But what a difference in the second half! TVhat the UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS 89 S. I. boys did then, can be better imagined than described. Little Eddie and C.apt. 0'Neill were here and there and everywhere. Basket followed basket in rapid succession, and as the Red and Blue score kept climbing, the enthu- siasm of the loyal workers grew apace. But when, with but one minute of play left, a single field-goal meant vic- tory, pandemonium broke loose. Yet that great and glor-e-e-ous feeling was not to be ours. The referees whistle blew with Santa Clara still one point in the lead. For Santa Clara, Capt. Don played a remarkable game, and he was ably supported by Korte and Cfiuchen. For the Varsity, all played well during the second half, with the forwards Tub and Eddie,' simply sparkling. This game brought home more forcibly than ever one of the team's greatest weaknesses this year, the lack of a reliable foul-shooter. At St. Marys the boys lost point after point through inability to locate the basket on pen- alty shots. At Reno Chet Qhlandt did exceptionally well in this regard, but in no other game did he show the same steadiness. Here a word must be said about peppery Bill Thorpe, our Athletic Manager and Coach all combined in one. Bill jumped into the breach at the beginning of the season when, for financial reasons, it was decided not to engage a coach, and showed that he knows all the basketball any of our San Francisco exponents of the game know and 9. little more, Besides he can impart his knowledge, and when it comes to work, he is the first one on the court and the last to leave, and while he's there it is certainly not a dress parade. Bill, we thank you, and hope that Blackstone will allow you to drag yourself away oftener enough next year to complete our basketball education. IlIeI'z'i1z I.

XVay back in 1011 we had a relay team that won most of the trophies in the Vice-l'resident's office, but it was not until this year that xve had a real championship team. Time and again have S. l. teams been runners-up in the several sports, but we have always had to be satisfied with being near- chanipsf' Things became so bad after the 120-lb. basketball team NORBERT W, FEELY under the leadership of Capt. Yin McGuire had lost the city chain- pionship by one basket, that many of the pessimists began to shout A St. Ignatius team can't win a championship. There's a jinx on St. Ignatius. May be there was a jinx on St. lgnatius.-one should not be too harsh in condemning boys who have seen three of their teams within a year play three championship games only to be beaten each time-but if there ever was such a thing, it exists no longer. 011 the first of February it was buried after all the customary services had been performed. and it stayed buried for one season at least. St. Ignatius, 22g Sacred Heart, 22. Our first game was played against our old rivals at the Y. M. H. A. court on Friday afternoon, February 1. The court there is small and the Hoor very slippery: these are our only alibis. NVe had expected a hard game and the Wearers of the Blue and Vlfhite certainly gave it to us. At half time we were leading by one point, the score standing 92 THE IGNA TJAN ll to 10. At the close of the game we thought we still had that same advantage, as did also the two scorers, both giving us the game by the score of 23 to 22. But a checking up of the scores after the game showed an omission on the part of both officials and it was decided to play the game over after both teams had completed the regular schedules. The game from an artistic viewpoint was not good. Both teams were decidedly nervous, and while the game was clean throughout and exciting, still there was, on account of the slippery Hoof, no chance for the teamwork that up to this had signalized the l45's playing. Too much credit cannot be given to Capt. Doyle, for if he had not risen to the emer- gency and shot 16 points we would not have a champion- ship at St. Ignatius yet, St Ignatius, 355 Lowell, 18. As the fellows had in a practice game taken Lowell into camp to the tune of 63 to 15, we had no worries about the outcome of our second league game. At half time the score stood 21 to 2 in our favor, and at the finish, 35 to 18. VVith the game won a couple of substitutes, Ragan and Redmond, were thrown into the fray and acquitted themselves quite creditably. Capt. Boyle had an off day, only garnering 17 points, while lK7allis had to be satished with lf. St. Ignatius, 26g Lick, 10. This third game proved, though the score does not show it, the hardest of all our games except the one against Sacred Heart. Until about the last eight minutes of play the team did not seem to hnd itself and the Tigers, playing a won- derful defensive game, kept within one point of us. Then the break came, Cantwell coming up from his guard position and shooting two baskets After that, basket followed basket in quick succession until the whistle found the score as noted above. Boyle, as usual, played his strong offensive game at cen- HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS 93 ter, scoring 16 points, but if ever a guard won a game it was Doc Sullivan. Cantwell had been stunned in the first Eve minutes of play and for most of the first half Sullie did practically all the guarding. It was this game that won him his place on the All-Star 1-15-lb. team. St. Ignatius, 33: Sacred Heart, 18. On February 22, this time on the roomy Y. M. C. A. court, we played our second game with Sacred Heart. The galleries were crowded with spectators and enthusiasm ran high. But the Red and Blue warriors were not frightened by the rooting, rather the sight of such a large following seemed to make them rise to the occasion, and they started right out and put the game on ice in the first halt, scoring 16 points to their opponents' 2, both made on penalty shots. Our guards did great work that half, smothering pass after p3SS. Sacred Heart came back strong after the intermission, though even in this half we had the edge on them by one point. Buckley did some fine shooting for the Blue and XVhite, scoring 9 points alone. For S. I., Wlallis scored 16 points, Boyle 10 and Born 6. This game carried with it the division championship and was really a bigger game than the one against Cogswell for the City honors. St. Ignatius, 52g Cogswell, 32. This game was a walkaway from the outset, though in justice to Cogswell it must be admitted that one of their best players, although in the game was, on account of in- juries, scarcely up to his ordinary form. At half time the score stood 32 to 12, and before the close of the game the rooters were cheering for our second team, as four substi- tutes were playing. Boyle had another bad day, caging the ball but 11 times from the floor and four times from the foul line, for a total of 26 points. Dorn scored 14 points and lllallis 12. vi 'a E sf u. A E ..

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS 95 St. Ignatius, 325 St. John's Club, 24. On March 16th the team journeyed to Napa to play the second team of St. johns Club, but our reputation had pre- ceded us and when we went upon the door we found the unlimited team, the first team, averaging about 155 lbs., lined up against us. The game was a hard one but half time found us leading, 16 to 9. At the opening of the second half the farmer boys came back strong and soon had the score 19 all. At this juncture llorn went to the side-lines with a nose-bleed. something he had been suffering from earlier in the day,-but the rest was evidently just what the boys needed, for the game was never in danger after that. Every man on the team deserves a lot of credit for this game, XVallis and Boyle for their great shooting, the former scoring 13 points. the latter 15, Howard Born for the great pluck he showed in holding his own with an opponent out- weighing him at least thirty pounds, and jimmy Duffy for going in at guard, a position entirely new to him, and smoth- ering pass after pass. 'tjerryn Sullivan, of course, played his usual fine game. Summary. Points scored by opponents, 198. Points scored by St. Ignatius, 425. lndividual scoring:-Boyle 187 points, VVallis 1-10, Duhfy -l-l, Born 36, Cantwell 16, Redmond 2. Four of the team, Boyle, lVallis, Sullivan and Cantwell. were picked for the S. F. A. L. All-Stan' Team. For St. Ignatius Captain Boyle was easily the most valuable man. always reliable, never failing in a pinch and being practi- cally immune from injuries, though weighing under 135 pounds. Two very important league games, the first against Sacred Heart. the other against Lick, he won practically single-handed. 96 THE IGNATIAN But to each and every member of the team, to every sub and every Hscrubl' who helped by turning out to give the boys practice, to Al Young, our self-sacrificing manager. but most of all to peppery Bill', Thorpe, who took hold of the squad after the first Sacred Heart contest and taught them many a new trick, FHE TGNATIAN, in the name of the entire High School, offers its most sincere thanks and heart- iest congratulations. BASEBALL. The basketball season was so prolonged this year that it was impossible for Capt. Ed Varni to get his nine out until almost the end of March. But as soon as he got the chance to give his squad the once-over he lost no time in picking a team that made some of the S. F. A. L. prophets look foolish. g ,L St. Ignatius, 5g Lick, 4. n The team played its hrst league game against Lick, and as has been the custom for some years past came out on the long end of a 5 to 4 score. It was a good game. featured by A'Fat Varni's hitting, Leo Boyle's pitching and a wonderful Mpeg from right field by Jimmy Duffy in the ninth inning that kept the Tigers from ticing the score. St. Ignatius, 193 High School of Cornrnerce, 6. In order to tune up his machine for the Poly con- test, Al Young arranged a practice game with Commerce, the team which the week before had forced Lowell, the team which eventually won the City honors, to go eleven innings before victory finally rested with the wearers of the Red and XVhite. Naturally we expected a hard game and were agreeably surprised at the way the fellows hit the three Commerce pitchers. XVe expected Yarni to hit. he always does, but who ever dreamed of Doc,' Sullix'an's HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS U7 getting a homer, a triple and two singles in fave times at bat? Wallis had his eye on the ball, also, getting a homer and a couple of two-sackers. Rice and Kunst did some clever fielding as well as working two pretty squeezes, All in all the boys got plenty of exercise that afternoon, for remember this was a seven inning game. Illhat the score would have been had the contest gone the full limit no one can tell. Poly, 41 St. Ignatius, 1. The second S. F. A. L. game against Polytechnic was for the division championship and it was some contest, the score being one up until the eighth inning, when the boys from Sunset put across a run. In the ninth they scored two more, the final score being 4 to 1. Leo Doyle pitched a great game but his support wobbled at critical times. The boys hit well but could not come through in the pinches. Rice at short and Kunst at third played splendidly, in fact, for a team that was together but a short time and had an inexperienced pitcher and an infield, no two players of which had played together before this year, the showing was very creditable.

MIDGET NOTES. Good old King Baseball need never fear for his throne here at St. Ignatius,'even though the sons of America are fighting to make the world safe for democracy. .-Xs a proof of his absolute sway over the hearts of the Ignatians, one has but to glance at the Midgets-St. Ignatius' yougest performers on the diamond. Ever since the beginning of the present season, they have been daily clicking them out 98 THE I G NA TIA N and scooping them up, very early rounding into an ag- gregation of champion ball-tossers. The battery mates, lifes, Conlan and Tommy Ryan, in keeping the hits scattered and retiring batters by the strike-out route, work together like two vets, while their big sticks have helped many a midget base-runner across the counting- pan. NVhen we say that the infield has all the class in the world, we feel sure that no one will deny the fact, when we point to Captain Hank O'Day on first- Euie Cullinan on second- Spider Kelly on short and good old reliable Frank Cunningham on third. In the outfield We have a trio which gathers in everything that comes its way- Chesty Keith, Dave Clancy and Bill Hanley. On the utility role we have tvvo men who have more than once proved very valuable in a pinch-George Ghirardelli and then Donn llcQuaid, without whom every team, be it basketball, football, track or baseball, seems incomplete. As a proof of the Midgets' prowess allow us to submit the casualty list: Midgets, 12: Sunset Midgets, 8. Midgets, 6: St. James' School, 3. Midgets, S: Ramona Club, 5. Midgets, 9: Laguna Honda School, 2. Midgets, 141 St. James' School, 4. Only once were they taken into camp, and then to the tune of 5 to 1 by their old transbay rivals, St. -Toseph's Academy. A return game is to be played next week: the Midgets have sworn revengefthey are on their toes awaiting' the signal to go over the top and bring home the bacon. Let us hope that they will deliver, and thus end the season with a victory, ere they store away their suits with the moth balls, and take to the more serious work of preparing for the exams.

The war at the same time has vastly in- creased the demand on our farms, our factories, our mines, our labor. Om' job, here at home, is to meet the in- creased d6'HZCl1lC1i with the dillli1ZlSIl6d supply. That can be done in only one way-by .rarizzg to the point of sacrifice. Go without luxuries, go without comforts, get along with less necessaries, and thus in- crease the nations surplus of supplies needed for victory. Every ounce of the products of labor, thus saved, counts. Our men, and our allies, afloat and ashore. are dying willingly for us. Can't We make sacrifices willingly for their sake and to Win the war? Lend the money, saved by patriotic renun- ciation, to the government by investing in thrift stamps. Wfe must sell 310,000,000 in thrift stamps to 500,000 people in San Francisco during 1918. Our quota is S1520 for each man, woman and child. Buy your quota, and then triple it to make up for those that fail to do their share. ll ll II H Il ll .-IDVERTISEIIIENTS H Newhall 6' Co NE WHALL BUILDING SAN FRANCISCO FIRE INSURANCE AUTGIVIOBILE INSURANCE MARINE INSURANCE GENERAL AGENTS The Ocean Marine Insurance Co., Ltd of London The London Assurance Corp. fIVIarineI of London The Pacific States F ire Insurance Co. of Portland Independent Insurance Co., of Philadelphia Westchester F ire Insurance Co. fIVIarineQ, of New York THOMAS S.

It is the only business college in San Francisco that makes experts and its graduates occupy the best and highest salaried positions. We challenge comparison in this respect. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS should remember that at the last Civil Service examination for life positions at S200 per month, our graduates were the only ones who passed 5 that all graduates of other business colleges who entered the contest failed. To verify this statement reference is made t-o the records of San Francisco Civil Service Commission. HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS should use their educa- tion to the best advantage and should attend GALLAGHER- MARSH BUSINESS COLLEGE because it is the only one that makes experts. High School Students cannot afford to be anything elseg they should prepare for the high- salaried positions where the opportunities exist for ad- vancement. GALLAGHER-MARSH BUSINESS COLLEGE can- not supply the demand for its graduates at iirst-class salaries. There is such a position awaiting you, so start now and prepare for it and get into the game of making money--the most fascinating game in the world.
