O-DAY while the powers of the world X turn with grateful hearts to the sons of V.-455 ' America, the defenders of democracy, the champions of the rights of all mankind, to-day with the joyful blessings of rescued civilization still sounding in their ears- those very sons returning to this, their home-the land of the free, are confronted by a situation which threatens to destroy their own sacred personal liberty and crush them 'neath the heel of a tyranny more dangerous and despicable than that for whose defeat they have labored and bled in France. And what is this tyranny? It is the natural offspring of narrow-minded reform-it is the tyranny of prohibitive legislation, Its seed has been scattered broadcast and its pernicious growth is to be recognized in nearly every social reform With- which the American public is now being harassed. Think for a moment-the anti-liquor league, the anti- smoking league, the health insurance faction-together mayhap with the anti-tea and coffee association and the anti-pastry party. l'Vhat, ladies and gentlemen, is the meaning of all these organizations to free and sov- ereign Americans? Simply this--that the people of the United States, bewildered by the fanciful representations of an impractical idealism, fascinated by the shimmering veil of tinseled illusion which their laudable hope for human uplift has hung before their eyes, have been ren- dered insensible to the real-the awful dangers that lurk beyond the curtain of artifice and sham, and are nursing to-day at the very thresholds of liberty and justice, a creature whose very nature makes it the mortal enemy of all personal freedom. This masquerader is prohibi- 3 THE IGN.-al TIA N tive legislation, a creature which, in the character of a multitude of your neighbors, may one day reach into the sacred precincts of your home and dictate your conduct in matters of a purely personal nature. Yet this is America-and the members of that despotie throng will dare to call themselves Americans. 'What mockery is this? ll'hat sacrilegious violation of all that our forefathers held closest to their hearts? And who are these usurping pillagers who here in the time- hallowed temples of democracy would hurl down from their accustomed niches the statues of equality and free- dom and set themselves up as the sole arbiters of virtue that their opinions may become the criteria of our morality? lYho are they, we cry-and the answer is at once ap- parent. They are the self-constituted angels of reform, the heckling, probing, narrow-visioned magicians who by waving the wand of prohibitive legislation, are going to transform their less holy, less enlightened brothers into radiant angels of incorruptible virtue. They are rather the helpless mortals who think they have found in prohibitive legislaton, the necessary prop to the weakness of their own wills. And this is the type of men who have so far succeeded in deluding a host of your fellow-citizens that they too now cry that to save you and me from the ravening beasts of appetite which exist within ourselves, the State and not our God-given conscience must regulate, and dictate our most secret, most personal habits and actions. Oh, how degenerate have we become-how far fallen in virtue below the standards of our aneestorshif now with all the material advantages of our superior education and vaunted culture to aid us-we yet must call on QOVQI-11- ment legislation to support our Weakling wills in the battles of the aspirate souls. But the A l rc iave arisen those who would help us, they Say in Om, plight' xvho are COXFLJCT OF LAIV AND LIBERTY 9 J they-and what method do they use for our redemptionf XVe look, and whom do We see-alas, none more solacing, none more healing than the radicals whose only method for the remedy of an abused right is the abolition of the right itself. Wfe cannot put much trust in them. For even as we look, we see them begin pompously to strut about the national stage, confident of the efficacy and merit of their plans. Their plans, indeed! Yes, the enlightened scheme which their twentieth century wisdom has evolved and by means of which the guardian angel of conscience ruling us with the flaming sceptre of righteousness and truth is to be supplanted by what-a uniformed police- man, who swings a menacing club. And amid it all, even as we thus hastily examine the poor misdirected efforts which they are pleased to term their plans, we can hear the voice of self-centered egotism, the characteristic of hopeless visionaries chanting up through the darkness of its ignorance- 0ur human legislation will succeed where morals, religion, yea God Himself has failed. Surely this is sweet music with which to lull their reason into rosy dreams and pleasant slumberings. Are we the defenders of drunkenness and vicious excess, because We say these things? Reflect, before you reply, upon the issues involved upon the principles im- periled-upon the insidous dangers that surge in the wake of moral reforms that are bought with the sacrifice of a cherished traditional freedom. If you so reflect, your answer can be easily anticipated. For having revolved all these things in your minds, you must if you are true Americans, stand forth and give answer in some such manner as this: idle, after thoughtful consideration, un- tainted by any form of prejudice, are firmly convinced that Hrst, the abolition of the rights of all because of the abuses of the few, is an unjust, undemocratic, and wholly un- American principle, and that as such it should never be permitted to disfigure with its presence the glorious Con- IQ THE IGXA TIAN stitution of these 'United States: second, that the possible benefits to be derived from prohibitive legislation are in their insignificance, incomparable with the most precious possession of the American citizen-his sacred personal liberty: and that lastly, we believe that any movement naturally antagonistic to our individual freedom, is fraught with latent dangers to the peace and unity of our re- public. That, ladies and gentlemen, must be your answer, as American citizens: and now let us together review that last, most vital portion of it, namely, the dangers that threaten our national unity and harmony. To-day, there stands on the highroads of our national existence, a glaring searchlight. Its brilliant circumference has become the cynosure of the eyes of many who travel the road and to them blinded by the staring whiteness of its light, all objects which lie farther along the highway are concealed in contrasting gloom. lf we would pierce the darkness, we must shield our eyes from the glare. That searchlight is social betterment, the splendid beacon of those whose aim is prohibitive legislation. The trav- elers attracted by the blazing' glory of its surface are those who, misled by the loftiness of their idealism. have become oblivious to all else, and their blinded eyes are the eyes of their once practical but now dazzled rationality. The objects which lie hidden in the shadows are the latent dangers of moral reforms, accomplished by Federal laws. Now, in my own limited way, l have attempted in the preceding portion of my speech to construct a shield of unsentimental truth, which, by shading the eyes of our reason from the confusing glare of that light of social betterment, we may be enabled to penetrate the obscurity beyond and examine, one by one, the shrouded dangers that are consequent upon prohibitive legislation. The source of all the perils that jeopardize our peace and unity to-day, is a strong, popular tendency toward State paternalism: the condition which creates between CONFLICT OF L.-lil' .-IND LIBERTY ll the Government and the governed, the relationship of father to son, or places the governed in a state of depen- dency upon the decisions of the Government. Now, in a republic, such as ours, in a democracy which by its eulogists is said to have gone farther than any other nation of history in the protection of the private rights of its citizens-in short, in these United States, conceived in liberty, dedicated to liberty, ever the sanctum of liberty, how odious is this system of government, State paternalism, the stiffer of freedom, which would so cir- cumscribe our boasted personal independence as to make it absolutely contingent upon the whims and determinings of our neighbors. And yet, with its innate distastefulness, the tendency in that direction is each day more pronounced. lts strength is to be felt in the anti-liquor amendment. And, ladies and gentlemen, though in truth the prohibitionists are a dry sort of people, we will Hnd that victory, despite their dryness, will inflame their hearts, and enkindle their imag- inations in much the same manner as a warming wine. Conscious of their power, powerful in their success, they will End new fields on which to battle highly exaggerated evils. Reform will beget reform, and each in its turn will infringe on private liberty, the civil society in its newly- created office will begin to encroach on the realm of the domestic, and what will result?-OPPRESSION-of a new form perhaps, but none the less, oppression-the reign of tyranny, the arrogant sway of pettiness, dwelling in high places, and then like the violent eruption of a muttering volcano, will come the rousing of a long'-snffeiw ing people, a people from whose eyes has at last been snatched the rose-tinted glass of illusion, a people whose blind quest for social uplift has betrayed them into the loss of inestimable privileges-ah, this is truly something to ponder upon, this awakening, such an eruption as can 12 THE IGNA TI.-IN hurl the hot lava of human hatred from Cuba to Alaska- from the Philippines to Maine. And vou, ladies and gentlemen, here to-night-for some of vou may be honest believers in prohibitive legislation- remember that the more heavenly the dream, the more violent the awakening, that remembering it, you may gradually rouse yourselves and lessen its embittering shock, Let us be dupes no longer! Let us cast forth from our intellects these plans for prohibitive legislation, the burning ashes of a noxious incense that would drug us into the sleep of creclulity for the purpose of our en- slavement. Let us cast forth those ashes, because, as true Americans, we recognize in them the scent of tyranny and national clismemberment. And then when we have clone this, when in our enlightenment we have relegated prohibitive legislation and all its coterie of awful possi- bilities to the tombs of the forgotten, let us set up for ourselves, in some conspicuous place, the warning motto - lie temperate in all things, and by way of amendment let us add, even in our reforms -that in following the teaching of that wise old precept, xve may continue our national existence-in prosperity, security and peace.

Mcliinstry, Blaster Electrician Dick Queen, twice recipient of the Croix de Guerre, Sergeant Con O'Brien, awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, and so many other heroes whom St. Ignatius gave to Uncle Sam, he will be pointed to with pride by all the loyal sons of Alma Mater. 'Toe was al'-vays a fighter, courageously attacking anything from a Greek verb to Euclid's method of finding the L. C. ll. He was a fighter on the football field too. and often did he put a healthy scare into the opposing front-rankers. Having passed successfully the examina- tions, Joe went to represent St. Ignatius at Vlfest Point. Popularity was the keynote to his success at XVest Point as at college, and when his class was graduated just at the outbreak of hostilities, he was commissioned Cap- tain of Infantry, and was among the first to be sent overseas. . That Capt. -Ioc's ambitions to engage in the fight were 14 THE 1o.v.a1r1.4.v realized will be admitted readily by all. Ilut we will let him speak for himself, The following letter is addressed to his brother, Thomas NVhitheld Sullivan, a member ot the St. Ignatius Unit, S. A. III. C. Another member of the Sullivan clan, james MCG., belonged to the famous llase Hospital No. 47, so hig'hly praised by the Surgeon- General for efficient service: Sars, my noble Brother: Yesterday Marshal Foch, Admiral lfYeyrnss, General Pershing and myself called the war off and so there isnlt any more guerre. So when the Boche delegation had departed, I said to Marshal Foch: XVhere to, Marshal, old top, now that the war is fini, I am out of an occu- pation. Have you an opening for a bright young man? And the Marshal, clever old man that he is. replied: Why, yes, Sully, I have one, but close it behind you when you go through the door. And so to-day, Sars- Field, I rind myself a member of the Army of Gceupation, which the Allies are going to maintain in Prussia.

All through the night the hell continued. The Austrian 88's twhiz-bangs, we call themyl, just cleared the slope and broke on the reverse side where we were. Frequently l would receive a clod of dirt in the face, which some Roche shell had sent Hying. Then when the hour of attack C2!.1TlC, the battalion rose out of the hole and went for the Boche. Such a day and such a night! Captain Sackett, a classmate, led the left sup- port company of the regiment. As we rose, an increase in the lloche barrage was' apparent, and Sackett dropped with twenty machine-gun bullets through him. My of- ficers were wonderful. My men-too much cannot be said for them. Cf course contact and control were dif- ficult, and as we jumped from crater to crater we could preserve no formation. The ground was a succession of slopes, and over each one the Boche had complete inas- tery. The Boche had direct flre on us with artillery, and it was deadly. He enliladed us from the Hanks and from the left rear as we progressed, and when we reached our objective the battalion was reduced to ZOO men under the command of a lst Lieutenant. The Major was wounded, I was wounded, Capt. Ed. Leonard, Class of 1017, K Co., was dead, Capt.

Nothing would suit me better than to hear the story of your friend, the 'female Sherlock' O'Toole extricated a fragrant Havana from his vest pocket, lit it, puffed silently for a few mo' ments, and then began. One morning, about two months ago, I dropped into headquarters to see if the chief had a case for me to work on. I had scarcely closed the outer door. when he grabbed me by the arm. and half dragged me into his private office. I-Iaving' worked under him for ive vears, I immediately knew that there was something' doing, for on only two or three occasions before had he ghgyyn Sugh excitement. As soon as I was seated he began. 'Sometime between twelve o'clock yesterday and eight to-day a set of plates for printing' the Tictorv Liberty Loan Bonds was stolenf I i 'XVliat.' I fairly shouted, 'the bonds plates stolen?

'You have had twenty years of experiencef he con- tinued, 'and I am sure you know the game. I am going to allow you to work where you choose, and in your own way. XVire me every day, and if you run across a clue tip me off' He turned his attention to some papers on his desk, and concluding from this that he had no more to say, I left. Outside. I sat down and redected on what I had just learned. Think what it meant! With a set of the plates anyone could skip out of the Lv. S., run off bonds to his heart's content, and Hood the country with them. If it got into the papers that the plates were missing, the whole Victory Loan would be crabbed. This was certainly one of the biggest things that had been attempted in years, so big in fact, that I doubted if our men would be able to break it up. During the next few days I learned from wires from headquarters that the entire country was being combed by the 'Service' Every port was being watched with hawk-like vigilance to prevent the plates being smuggled away on a foreign-bound vessel. From Maine to California, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf, agents of the department were searching everywhere for the prize. So far there was but one suspect, a young man who had been employed for but a few months in the engraving department at VVashington. Circurnstantial evidence seemed to weave a web around him, but his record was so satisfactory, and his family so highly esteemed in ofhcial circles, that nothing had been done be- yond questioning him. After considering the case carefully, I decided that the plates were somewhere on the Atlantic coast. I knew that anyone who had enough brains to get away with them in the Erst place, would never be foolish enough to travel all over the country with them. And therefore, arguing from what my actions would be in a QQ THE I CNA T1 A N similar situation. I concluded that the fellow who had the plates was lying low around one of the numerous Atlantic ports, waiting for a chance to skip the country. For about a week I covered the coast between New York and Boston. I discovered absolutely nothing that could be of any assistance in locating the thieves or their loot, and as far as I could learn, my fate had been shared by the other men of the 'Servicef March was over half gone. the date set for the opening of the Victory Loan drive drawing near. and no clue to the recovery of the missing plates. I spent the next week around Norfolk and Newport News, but without any satisfactory results. I was sitting in the lobby of the Monticello I'-lotel in the former city one evening, debating' with myself what territory I should cover next, when I heard a bell-boy paging me. As he approached where I was seated, I called him over, and inquired what he wanted. 'I 'Lady wishes to see you, sir,' he said. 'The lady sitting on the other side of the lobby with roses on her hat.' I glanced in the direction in which he pointed, and easily lo- cated the one with the rose-adorned hat, but after scrutinizing' her closely for several seconds. I was unable to recall having' met her before. Needless to say, I was not a little surprised at being' visited, as I had thought my whereabouts were un- known. As I approached my visitor, I could see that she was very young, not more than twenty-three or four, and that she was exceptionally good looking. After presenting' myself, I drew a chair up beside her, and inquired what I could do for her. She glanced up at me with a rather queer expression upon her face and said: 'Do you want to know where the Yictory Bond plates are ?' For several seconds I stared at her half dazed. and then, partially recovering' from the shock of such a greeting, and realizing' that I had been indiscreet in displaying my surprise, I endeavored to compose myself. DOUBLE CROSSED 21 'A 'VVho are you?' I asked, in as even a tone as I could command. 'I don't even know you.' '0h, that's all r1g'ht,' she replied with a smile, seeming to enjoy my confusion. 'I know you. I've heard thc gang speak of you a number of times. You're Michael O'Toole of the United States Secret Service, and you are searching for the stolen plates. You'd give 310,000 to find them. but I am going to tell you where you can get them for nothingf As she finished, she leaned slightly forward, resting one hand on her hip. and supporting her dimpled chin with the other, and looked me straight in the eye. 'Io be frank with you, I didn't know what to do or say. The first thing I thought of was to ask her how she knew where the plates were, and I did, 'That is really none of your businessf she replied, 'but I don't mind telling you. For the past two years I have been sort of paling with the gent who has them. He got tired of me though, and ditched me when he found another he liked better. I'm squealing simply to get even. Get 1116? UI did and I didn't. VVhat I couldn't understand was why she was offering to tell me Without any reward where I could locate the plates, when she could secure a nice piece of change for this information. If it hadn't been for the way she looked me straight in the eye and told her story, I would certainly have suspected that she was laying a trap for me. 'Wlellf I said at last, 'tell me where the plates are.' 'Not so fast there. grandpaf she broke in. 'I'll give you the dope when, and only when, you have agreed to go after them in my wayf 'And by that you mean F' I'hat you niust do the job yourself and take me along., H 'Say, how am I going to know that you are not try- ing to lead me into a net ?' I asked. She smiled. 'You flatter yourself. Wfhat difference would it make if you were put out of the way? There are fifty other 22 THE IGNATIAN Service men within ten miles of here. You would never he missedf She was right and I knew it. VVith fifty, possibly seventy-five other agents almost within calling distance, what good would it do to grab me? 'W'ell, lcidj I said, 'I'll take a chance. lYhat's your game? 'You mean you'll keep what I tell you under your hat and follow my instruetions?' she queried. 'Yes,' I replied.

To say that she left me bewildered would be putting it mildly. I-Iere was a mere girl that knew almost as much about me as I knew myself, and who was apparently well acquainted with the workings of the 'Service' Her plan, however, appealed to my vanity, for if it worked I would be able to put over the biggest thing' of my career, Needless to say, I slept but little during' the night. The next day I examined, cleaned, re-examined, and cleaned again and again my little Colt that had never failed me in an emergency. Several times I decided that to follow the instructions of this girl would be foolhardy, and several times I concluded that I would meet her and tell her that I would not go. but nevertheless 8:30 found me in the lobby, anxiously awaiting' her arrival, and more than eager for the adventure. She was on time, and as she approached me her eyes seemed bright with expecta- tion. 'You have not changed your mind?' she queried as I spoke to her. 'Nof I answered. 'lYhen I say I'll do a thing you can generally rely on me., 'VVell, letls be on our way.' she continued, 'The coast is clear. so we had better Finish up the job in a hurry' I followed her out into the street, where we boarded a car. lVhen we were seated she frave me a few final instruc- 5 tions.

I assured her that I could, and then. discovering that we were at the end of our journey. she signaled the conductor to stop the car, and we alighted.

I turned the knob, swung the door noiselessly open, and with a last glance at my young friend, slipped quietly into the half-lighted hallway. Peer- ing down at the further end, I could discern a door. Vffith my right hand I held my Colt in readiness in my coat pocket, and having waited a few seconds to be sure that no one was moving about, I tip-toed down the hall. Final- ly, after moments of great suspense that seemed like hours, I arrived in front of the door. IYithin, I could hear two men conversing in an undertone. Sunimoning up all my courage, I rapped twice, paused, and repeated the two raps. The occupants of the room ceased talking, and I heard a click to my right, which I interpreted as the sound of the spring releasing the door. I was just reaching for the knob, when suddenly I felt two powerful hands seize the wrist of my right hand in which I still clutched the Colt. Swinging around, I attempted to strike my assailant with my left, as my right was rendered powerless by the yice- like grip he had on it. Uut as I drew it back, I was pounced upon from the other side, and borne to the floor. I struggled, squirined, kicked, and clawed, but to no ayail. I was bound hand and foot, my pistol was taken from me, and finally I found myself dragged into the room in which I had been told the plates were hidden. IYhen I had re- coyered sufficiently from the beating to perciye my sur- roundings, I discovered that I was roped to the chair in which I was sitting, with three men standing in front of me. Two of them I had never seen before to my knowledge, but the third. Sandy lN'fcGregor, was well known to me, ll? Im-4 ilk slid 'IW G0 flllll 3 lliui tim llc Sfmt Num nh: my yn im!

'VVell, we put one over on you this time-thanks to the girl. She's not all ivory upstairs, is she?' II'hat shock the mentioning of the girl gave me. So I had been tricked, caught in a trap by a girl less than half my own age. The Very thought of it maddened ine. McGregor interrupted my reflections by starting to search my pockets. One by one, everything that I had in my possession was carefully examined by him. Finally he gave a low whistle. 'This might come in handyf he said. Glancing at what he referred to, I discovered that it was a pass card given to those who have been in the 'Service' a number of years. It will take the bearer anywhere, without any ques- tions being asked. Immediately I realized what it meant to have it in McGregor's possession. XYith it he could take the plates aboard any steamer without fear of having his baggage inspected. My misery was now complete. VVhat would headquarters think of me when it came out that the plates were taken out of the country through my negligence? Putting the card into his pocket, McGregor held a hasty consultation with his companions in one corner of the room Then, gathering up a few things in a bag, he left hurriedly. 1' 'How long are you going to keep me here? I en- quired of one of my captors. 'Oh about two or three weeks,' he answered with a sneer. I was convinced that McGregor would use the pass to get out of the country. What would I say when I got free. I wondered. How could I ever reinstate myself? I would be disgraced for life.

Queen, '12, enlisted in the Signal Corps in July, 1917, at San Diego, Cai., and was sent to Fort McDowell, and from there to Fort Leavenworth, Kas. Ile proceeded overseas, as acting lfirst Sergeant of Company C, lfirst lfielcl Battalion of the Signal Corps, on De- cember 23, 1917, hav- ing had granted his re- quest to go to Europe with his unit, in pref- erence to attending' the Officers' Training Camp at Plattsburg, N. Y. The unit landed in Eng- land, and was for a time stationed near xYl1'lCl1QStCl', where they had an opportunity of Visiting' the famous Ca- thedral, one of the no- blest monuments of MASTER SIGNAL ELECTRICIAN ' w ' N ' RICHARD C. QUEEN, AUBIY ,my Catholic architecture in Twice Recipient of Croix de Guerre. the World. In a few days, however, the Field Battalion was ordered to France, and Dick soon had his thirst for action satished 34 THE IGNATIAN as a Sergeant First Class of the Signal Corps, with the formidable Second Division. This division took more than 25 per cent. of all the prisoners captured by the American Expeditionary Forces, and sustained 10 per cent. of the total casualties. In May, 1918, he described the front in the fol- lowing manner: Although the front is, to use the words of a 'Stars and Stripes' poet, a 'blasted hell,' the shattered trees are trying to bloom. XVild violets, dandclions, and all sorts of summer beau- ties pop up over night, in shell holes which are not gassed. Every dead soldier pushes up verdure and bloom. It is pitiful to see the sweet apple blossoms still greeting the spring as they did in years before the War, when the villager's home was un- ruinerl by shot and shell. On June 24, 1918, he was disabled by the infamous Ger- man weapon of gas, an incident which he narrated in a very nonchalant way in writing to his mother: When I used to order Vichy Celestins for you, I did not 'suspect that 1 would myself soon be there at the springs, Etab- lissement Vichy d'Etat. But here I am putting up at the Carl- ton, now converted into magnificent Base Hospital No. 1, Belle- vue Unit. VVe are extremely Well treated. My trouble was oc- casioned about a week ago, during a severe bombardment of our lines. Mustard tidichlorethylsulphide, for beneht of my chemist Unclesl and other gases, encountered for hours in the shelled region even after the shooting had subsided, have caused a slight, but persistent, irritation of my eyes, skin, throat and lungs. My section maintained excellent gas discipline and prac- tice, hut the peculiarly exposed and dangerous work of the Sig- nal Corps in action, made it almost a certainty that harm would result in one form or other. So as a matter of precaution I sent my force away at noon, but remained myself till midnight. By that time the relieving section was ready to cut over in a more tenable position, which was high tinie, as 1 had been main- taining our liaisons by feeling alon tl h ll I D g ie e c wires and instru- ments, being unable to open my eyes the last two hours, I am a pretty tough 'hombre' though, so by the time the hospital train which bore us from the evacuation and mobile hospitals had reached Parisi I WHS able to DCfbk out of the window and wit- ness the anti-aircraft barrage of great intensity which we mn into- RICHARD C. QUEEN, .4.B., 'IB 35 You ought to see that train. This was its initial trip. Six- teen cars, and valued at in the neighborhood of half a million dollars. Vichy is an excellent place, only, like most of France, too park-like. Our redoubtable Major told General Pershing that the First Field Battalion is the toughest bunch in the Army. XYe were with the division which helped to save Paris. These men will ever cherish a tender feeling for Paris, which on that account they consider peculiarly theirs. After somewhat over a month in this hospital Dick was sent to a replacement camp, where he met W'ill Fottrell, the first St. Ignatius man he had met in Europe, from whom he heard a lot of news from home. It was not learned until later that the gas had left more or less permanent injuries, and that Dick had been crushed under a falling tree in the same encounter. Although the disability board was inclined to classify him for service be- hind the lines, he succeeded in being returned to his unit. and later wrote that he was glad to be back at his military home, and 'rearing to go. Dick graphically depicted in a letter to his mother of Dec. 22, 1918, the grand finale of the Second Divisions work in the actual conflict: As you probably know I have been always with the famous Second Division tRegular,l and since long before last lfaster it has been just one hard battle after another for us. Of all the formidable troops which met the Germans, the Second Division was most hated and feared and combated by the Prussiaus and their allies. Not to mention other lesser affairs, there stand to our credit the battles won at Sommedieu, Chateau-Thierry, Sois- sons, St. Mihiel, Champagne CBlanc-Mont Ridgel, Forest of tlie Argonne and the Ardennes. I-Iallowe'en I lay in a trench a few hundred yards from the German lines before Exermont on the borders of the Forct d'Argonne. Like a San Francisco earth- quake roared and shook the overwhelming barrage which guns of all calibres from 75s to 3555 lay upon the enemy in front -iff us. None can imagine what the dread barrage is in fact, but one who has fought under it. The last great battle of the Wfar had begun. Over the blasted trenches and entanglements poured the Second Diviwi ...- n, 36 THE IGNA TIAN through Landres et St. George, Landreville, Bayonville, Posse, Beaumont, till the river Meuse was reached. Our losses were not so great by any count as in the terrible affair which hurled the Prussians from Blanc-Mont Ridge. The night before the armistice was signed I attempted to put the lst Battalion f'Inf.J in telephonic communication with the 23rd Regimental P. C. This battalion held the near bank of the Meuse while the enemy held forth in the other half of the town across the river, Up would shoot their blinding flares, and into any group sighted would pour the tire of the machine gun and rifle snipers and the direct Ere of a few malicious 77s. It was impossible to maintain the line but we tried our best. The engineers early in the morning threw a pontoon over, and the cessation of hostil- ities found the Division holding the bridge-head in the teeth of the Germans. lt was a close call at such a late hour of the cataclysmic struggle, but I survived. NMC have since marched in the wake of the retreating Ger- man armies, through Stenay and Montmecly to the southern corner of Belgium, Stenay was a great French military depot held by the enemy since 1914. llrfontmedy possesses an ancient and massive citadel, from whose precipitous bluffs the Germans surveyed France and Belgium for many kilometers around. In Belgium we billeted at Virton and Arlon. Belgium and Luxem- bourg must have been before the war, indeed, the model nations of the world. t'At this writing we are situated in a most charming rocky vale guarded at one entrance by a ruined castle. Our billet is in the school-room of a convent at Medernach, I rather regret that our division passed at a distance from the magnincent city of Luxembourg, The borders of the Prussian Rhine-land are but a dozen miles way, and it is only a matter of a few days till the rear guards of the heavy German columns have cleared sutliciently to permit us to resume the mai-Q11 or emfain for the Fhinve, It is probable that our garrison centre will be at Cob- CUZ. In February, 1919, Dick had the agreeable surprise of saluting Capt. Joe Sullivan, of whom every St. Ignatius man is proud, on the streets of Neuwied am Rhein. He had been playing on the Second Division football team, and was in command of a battery of the 15th Field .-Xrtillerv. On December SO, 1918, the 23rd Infantry, including at- ached units, such as the machine gun battalion and Signal RICHARD C. QUEEX, .4.B., '12 57 Corps, paraded at Yallendar, near Coblenz. upon the old maneuver field towering in slopes above the Rhine and Mo- selle rivers. Major-General John A. Lejeune, commander of the Second Division: Prince Albert of England: and a French General representing General Petain, Commander of the Armies of the North and Northeast, reviewed. The French General brought for Dick Queen, an order of the Army of Petain, carrying with it the coveted Croix de Guerre with Palm -for bravery and absolute disregard of danger before Chateau-Thierry, june Z3-24, 1918. Un the 27th of January, Major-General Lejeune pinned another Croix de Guerre on him, this time with the gold star, for conduct during the harrowing days of October 3-9, 1918, in Champagne, battle of Blanc-Mont Ridge, which Dick describes, as a very interesting period. when I would have considered an offer of S2000 cash for my insurance bad business. Dick, promoted to the grade of Master Signal Electrician. is now in Paris, studying at the famous University of the Sorbonne, where he was sent by the Government to represent his Field Battalion. At the Sorbonne he is pursuing an in- tensive course in Commerce and Science, and studying French at the same time at l'Alliance Francaise. I came to Paris, he writes, via the famous cities of Cob- lenz and Treves in Germany, Metz in Alsace-Lorraine, Nancy and Chateau-Thierry in France.

AUSTIN T. HOWARD, S. I. Vlfhen God called unto Himself Mr. Austin T, lloward, S. I., ex-'10, both Faculty and Student-Body of St. Igna- tius University mourned one. who by his sterling' qualities had endeared himself to all. As Instructor in Second Year of High School, as Director of the St. John Berchmans Sanctuary Society, as Head of the Red Cross work in the High School, he was an untiring worker, and animated all his co-laborers to like zeal and enthusiasm. The secret of his success was a genuine earnestness and a spirit of self- sacrifice. Mr. Howard died, a victim of lnduenza, Oct. 27, 1918. Having prepared himself by a devout life during many years, he passed away peacefully, offering his life to God that He might spare other members of the Society of Ilesus. To his parents, his sisters and his brother, Mr. Joseph Howard, SJ., ex-'16, THE IGNATIAN, on behalf of the Stu- dent-Body of the University, offers heartfelt sympathy. PROFESSOR JOSEPH W. BERETTA, LL. D. Through the recent death of Mr. -loseph VV. Beretta, A. E., LL. D., '16, the Law College has lost one of its most capable and devoted Faculty members. Possessing the ability to instruct in an unusual degree and a sincere interest in all who came under his supervision, Mr. Beretta, in the years during which he taught at Saint Ignatius has earned the love and respect of all who knew him. His untimely death is mourned alike by those whom he instructed and his brother Faculty members-a sorrow alleviated only by the appreciation of the model Catholic life he led. On behalf of those who knew him so well, THE lGN.x- TIAN offers to his bereaved wife, its sincerest sympathy and condolence.

He fm failed to ask waivers on me, 'way back V453 in 1903 when a p1'oud parent led me into A one of the little notices of St. Ignatius College, through the family entrance ,X on Grove Street. Father IVoods sus- pected that I knew how to spell Heat. And I did. HC-a-t,'y just like that. So I got in, and was sent to Pop Hoods, class for a tryout. Pop XVoods was one of the few teachers who had been around the old college since Franklin Street was a eowpath. He was the official try-out professor of the prep school. He took one look at a dozen or two of us promising young men, gazing out over his over-generous allowance of beard, and the next morning we were farmed out tc' another league, presided over by Mr. McCann. He didn't care a great deal for any of us, and we stayed in his class for ten months only-some of us, that is. Others stayed in his class until they were able to shave themselves. Then they became prosperous business men, and had to come up in later years for page ads in TI'IE IGNATIAN, while a fioek of us poor, unsuspecting youths who could take a Latin adjective and xvring its neck until it said uncle, were busy wearing out a lot of shoe leather in the chase for said ad. Then came the earthquake and shook us out of old St. Ignatius. Father Ford. had a splendid chance to hang out the HS. R. O. sign when the proud parent once again led me to the front door at the present site of the Univer- sity, and announced that I knew too much for one family, and it was better that I be turned loose where I could impart some of my knowledge to the world at larg'e. How Pete and Murph got in I'll never know, I guess. 42 THE IGNJ TIAN There isn't much use in mentioning a glorious high school career, because there wasn't really much doing after lst year, when Father XfVerner collected a lot of us into a ball club, called it the juniors, told us it was either beat Santa Clara or do the homework. The rec- ord book shows that we spent our evenings at something besides the conjugation of the verb moneo. A lot of us decided that four years of high school were sufficient educational achievements to enable us to run the United States like old Christopher Columbus originally wanted it run. I can't remember, now, just who it was we mentioned this to. fIf this composition is to be read in class, Mr. Lennon, please read that last phrase to whom we men- tioned it. lfVhats grammar among friends?D I think it was Father Sullivan. , 'AOh, my, he said, just wait until you study Virgil.

Somehow we never did get to know Horace very well. Many a time Murph came up in the pinch for the monthly specimen, and couldn't even get a draw after four rounds of boxing with one ol Hor- ace's odes. And as for Pete, well, he never did consider Horace as in the sanie class with Robert Service, espe- cially after he found out that by reciting The Shooting of Dan McGrew he could beat his way into a good many parlors, and quite a few ham sandwiches and chunks of cake. I'll say this for Pete, though: he positively refused to speak Hfiunga Din, either with or without gestures, or meals. Then we cornered Father Ford in the hallway one afternoon and told him what we thought of Horace and all his works. VVell, never mind, he soothed.

And all the time those nations over in Europe were getting all smoked up, and ready to Hy at each other's throats, and so thoroughly mess up the treaties and Mon- roe Doctrines and Rules of Six, Seventy Six, and Sixty Une that all the political economies in creation couldn't stop the thing. But anyhow we studied it, or Father Kavanaugh thought we did, which was the same thing. And one day Father Ford stopped us in the corridor. How is it now? he asked. VVorse than everf, we answered. It's got so we don't ever have time to play ball any more. There now, he said. XVait until you get into Father Mahonyis Moral Philosophy class. Then you'll realize what a great thing it is to be in college. 4-l TH E I CNA TIA N Wfe waited. l'Ve'll never forget Father Mahony. He told us some jolses that we had never heard before, and when we sprung them on an alumnus as original, he remarked he'd never have thought we were that old. In between the jokes we had our tablespoonful of Moral Philosophy, twice daily. And believe me, reader, we took it well before We shook it. Then came that glorious period of the faculty exams, when we went before that grave looking examining board with our hat in one hand, and a help wanted column out of the paper in the other. There was a small matter of ten minutes of philosophy, or maybe it was ten years. Somebody stated a thesis. and while it was rather presumptuous of us to challenge our superiors, We had to do it. These faculty exams are terrible. Youlre required to argue a philosophical treatise: you look to the chemistry prof. for a kindly siuile, or a look of encouragement-and Father Conlon had both, and to spare-but you found him looking abstractedly out of the window, wondering if that young hardhead would get through with the business of trying for the privilege of paying ten dollars for a degree And it was over as suddenly as it began. Someone shook hands with me, and I charged madly down the stairs And there was Father Ford, waiting at the door. smiling'-always smiling. XYell, it's over at last. isn't it? he asked. And Pete and Murph and I thought of the days with Yirgil, and the hopeful word to wait until we met Horace: and the nights of Horace, and the optimistic suggestion that yye wait until W6 had ,lL1HiO1' Philosophy: and the long hours of Junior Philosophy, and the soft spoken hint to wait for Moral Philosophy.

It is one of those Q' gg, islands. which are often found along ga mountainous coast: having, in all probabil- ity, been thrown up in the course of some - ancient seismic disturbance. The entire island cannot be more than fifty miles long by. perhaps, twenty-live wide. Almost in the exact center and dominating the rest of the island, rises the volcano of Calboca. The volcano is still active, going into eruption at uncertain inter- vals. lVhen in eruption, it of course emits vast quantities of lava and ashes. Hence the island, excepting for a nar- row strip around the beach, is covered with lava. a vast floor of stone. lilut this narrow strip is exceedingly fertile, and for this reason, it has, for many years, been devoted to coffee plantations. The largest of these are owned by lose Caravejo and Don Miguel Rodriguez. who own adjoining plantations. The houses of these two are both set close to their boundary lines. and from this propinquity they have become intimate friends. There is a broad shell road running around the island, which is the principal highway to the seaport of Castrano: a small town given over entirely to the shipment of the coffee grown upon the island. Down this road one sunny morning in early March came a boy and girl, superbly mounted and riding with the ease that comes only to those who have ridden from childhood. The girl is Maria Rodriguez, the daughter of Don Miguel. and a slim little elf who seems to be always laughing. Per- haps this effect is given by a pair of dancing black eyes, and a mouth with the slightest bit of a droop at the corners, which imparts to it a slightly whimsical expression. The boy, jose Caravejo, and the fiance of Maria Rodriguez. is IT.

This morning they are returning from a visit to the sick, in the homes of the peons who work the estate of Don ftligiiel. -lose, speaking with the lover's tender solicitude, says: You must be careful, Maria, else in your kindness to these people you will work injury to your own health. No fear, replies Maria, smiling up at him, HI am young and strong, and a little work will not hurt me. Besides if I do not, who will care for them F That is true also, said jose, yielding to this superior logic, someone must help those who cannot help them- selves. They cantered on in silence for a time, content just to be near one another, enjoying that mystic compan- ionship of spirit that is granted only to those who truly love. Then as they were turning from the main road into the graveled path that led to Don Miguels home, Maria broke si- lence with, It is said that the volcano Calboca is preparing to go into eruption. 'II also have heard their talk, said jose, but I do not believe it. But jose, old Manuel told me that the lava was bubbling but twenty feet below the crater's rim, and that ashes and bits of rock have been falling for a week! Maria could not so easily dismiss the subject: but jose. making light of the matter for her peace of mind, answered: That may indeed be true, but what if it is? lYe have had eruptions before and no harm done. lYhv should we tear this? ' You are right as usual, replied the gid, her fears dis- pelled. and once more her own smiling self, HRM gee' We are home, so soon.

But I will come over' again tonight. And after a few parting words he cantered homeward. Maria had lunched alone with her father, the aged Don Miguel: and now having watched him start on his regular afternoon round of inspection, decided to spend the after- noon on the beach. So, taking her book, she repaired to a favorite nook in the rocks, to spend a quiet afternoon as- she had spent many before, reading awhile and then gazing, D chin in hand, over the sunlit waters, thinking-who knows? VVhat does a young girl who is very much in love think about? You don't know. VVell, neither more do I, but that is of what Maria was thinking. Just as the sun dipped below the horizon, she rose and wandered slowly back to the house, and greeting her father, went on to her room, to change before dinner was an-e nounced. Dinner over, Maria hurried to her room to add a few finishing touches before Jose should arrive. This ceremony over, she started back downstairs. 'Iust as she turned towards. the door there was a mighty crash and roar from without. Running to the window she saw that the whole of the sur- rounding country was visible in the light of the Eames which were shooting skyward from the volcano. As she stood, fascinated by the terrible sight, there came another loud roar and a great mass of rock and dame was belched forth, shooting far up into the night. A moment later, with a ripping and rending of wood, several huge stones 'crashed through the house. Now thoroughly terrified, Maria ran from the room. down the stairs, and, having picked her way through the wreckage- strewn in the hall, at last won her way, panting, to the room in which she had left her father. She burst into the room and then stopped, staring trans- 48 TH E I GNA TIAN Fixed with horror at the sight-before her. Lying on the HOOP, still clutching in one hand his paper, lay her father, dead. Maria walked slowly and with uncertain steps to his side, and sank to the Hoor beside him. It was then that the full meaning of this calamity struck her, and throwing herself across the lifeless body, she gave vent to her sorrow in those terrible sobs that are so pitiful to hear and that come from a grief that seems too great to be borne. jose had spent a weary afternoon going over the reports submitted to him by the manager of his estates and now as the day was fading into evening, rose from his desk happy in the thought that he would soon be with Maria. After a hurried toilette he descended to dinner, which he curtailed as much as his hunger would permit. lose was just rising from the dinner table when he was startled by the crash which had so terrified Maria. Wlith an exclamation of surprise he jumped to the window. One glance was enough. Xliithout waiting he dashed madly from the house and ran as quickly as he could down the path towards Don Miguel's home and Maria. Coming out from behind the trees he was able to see where the rocks had gone through the roof of the house. Fear lent speed to his feet and he fairly Hew the remain- ing distance to the house. He burst through the door and then stopped, amazed at the wreckage before him. The hall was strewn with debris of every description. plaster, wood panels, pictures, Statuary, all lay in confusion upon the floor. In the center and seem- ing to look with triumph at theiruin it had caused lay a huge stone. Hurriedly glancing into the drawing room, Jose, finding it empty, ran down the hall to the library. One look through the open door and his search was ended. A few quick strides carried him to her side. XVith a smothered cry of Maria he knelt beside her. Maria, dear- est, look at me. Maria raised her grief-stricken face to him. HO, Jose, ,IX ISL.1l-YD ROMANCE 49 what shall I do, my daddy -and then a shrill cry, l'le's dead-dead. VVhat shall I do without him? .lose was doing his best to stem the rising Hood of grief when an ominous rumble from without warned him that they must seek safety, else both would perish. L'1Iaria, we must go away from here to a safer place. She turned her tear-blinded eyes to him. Away? But I can't leave my daddy here. XYhere can we go ? Wlhere should they go. The cellars. That was the safest place jose could think of. XVe will go down into the cellars. They are deep down and we need not fear the stones down there. Jose rose. Come, Maria, we must hurry. She only clung the closer to her father. So, stooping, Jose lifted her into his arms and started for the cellars and safety. Crossing the hall as rapidly as his burden would permit, Jose passed down a long Hight of narrow stone stairs and came at last into the deep stone vaulted cellars underneath the house. Here they were safe. Even if the house above should collapse, nothing could harm them here, so far below the surface. 'lose settled Maria on the lowest step of the stairs, and, striking a match, peered about him. Qn one side a long row of stone pillars supporting the roof stretched away into the darkness. On the other a blank stone wall. Lighting another match -lose explored further. A low mound caught his eye, and advancing closer, he saw that it was a pile of sacking and old rugs. Fine, thought Jose. Maria shall be comfortable at least. I-Ie returned to the stairs, and found Maria as he had left her slumped disconsolately against the wall. Feigning a lightness of spirit far from his real state, he says: Come Maria, I have found a place where you can rest and sleep until morning. Maria rose obediently and suffered herself to be led to the pile of sacking, and sank down into this soft nest with a little sigh of relief. .lose settled himself beside her, saying, You must try 50 THE 1G.v.4 TIAN and sleep now, so that you will be strong in the morning. So Maria, wearied from the strain she had undergone, pil- lowed her head against his breast and was soon in dream- land. ,lose remained awake as long as he was able, but soon he too was asleep. He awoke and glanced about him, puzzled for a moment as to where he was. Then, memory returning, he looked down at Maria, who lay at his side, still tossing about in restless slumber. Glancing at his watch, Jose saw that it lacked but a few minutes to six. So, rising quietly, in order not to disturb Maria, he made his way to the stairs and thence up into the house. Hardly had he reached the hallway when he was startled by a shout of, Senor jose, it is you! I thought you too were dead. The old Don, Senor, he is in there, dead, and the faithful old servant pointed to the library. But the little Maria, is she safe F and old Manuel turned eager, if somewhat tearful eyes, to jose. Yes, Manuel, she is safe. She is resting now in the cellars, where she will be safe. lYhen there is no more danger I shall bring her upstairs. Manuel nodded and then replied, It is safe now. There will be no more eruptions, for the whole top of the moun- tain is gonef' Jose glancing out the window saw that this was true. So, descending the stairs into the cellar, he awakened Maria, saying, Come, dearest, it is safe for you to go upstairs again now. Maria looked sleepily up at him. Upstairs? Vvhy I- and remembrance. Uh, Jose. is it over? Yes, all over now, Maria. Come, we will go upstairs. He assisted her to rise and led the way up the dark stairway to the hallway above, and across to the library. At the door he stopped, and Maria crossed the room to where her father lay. ,lose waited at the door until she knelt in prayer. and then, crossing the room, he knelt beside her, and together they prayed for the soul that had gone. :IX 1SL.4.YD ROM--l4X'CE 51 A little later, at his suggestion, Maria accompanied' Jose to his homeg for he wished to get her away from the scene of her sorrow. Maria spent the rest of the day rest- ing and preparing for the inorrow, while Jose attended to the settling of Don Miguells affairs. The next day all the islanders, rich and poor, grandee and peon, gathered at the funeral of Don Miguel, for all who knew him loved hiin. He was laid to rest among the trees he had loved so well. As Maria and jose walked honiewards together, .lose told Maria his plans for the future, of his desire to im- prove his estates and of the fact that it would be neces- sary for him to go to the States to purchase new farming machinery, and ended with, There is a boat sailing to- morrow, Maria, Will you sail with mc? ,Maria looked up in startled surprise. But Jose, I can't get ready in such a short time. I have no clothes for the trip. -lose laughed back at her, HXNVOIDCH, their first thought is of clothes. Take what you have, and buy others when we get there. . Maria hnally consented to this and they continued on their way planning how they should spend their honeymoon. Jose was delighted at 1laria's ready acceptance of his plan, for he thought that a change of scene would help her to forget her loss. The next day, after a night spent in hurried packing, they were married. Followed by the wellwishings of their friends they boarded the steamer, and soon Chilorna was fadinff into the distance. b The last to drop out of sight was the volcano of Calboca. It remained outlined against the horizon. and jose remarked to Maria, It is beautiful against the sky, isn't it? 'fYes, replied Maria, Mft is beautiful but it is terrible. I ani glad to see the last of it. f'And I also, answered Jose. So they stood and watched until it sunk into the sea. lVhen it had disappeared from view they went below. Here Maria, in the excitement of planning, forgot the island and its sorrows. .-1. Harold Schulz. IGNATIAN STAFF J. J. Lister E. L. O'Meara F. P. Hughes C. R. Boden N. B. Maroevich V. W. Hallinan M.

It is the First time Alma Mater has called upon them in such a critical hour, and they are responding loyally, by sub- scribing liberally to the general fund as well as collecting contributions for that great purpose. The pamphlet gotten out by the Fathers asks the question: Are you interested in St. Ignatius' Church and College? --and goes on to say: If you are interested, become a member of the St. Ignatius' Conservation League. Now, who should be more interested than those whom St. Ignatius' College rightly calls sons, --those who within the walls of the old College or of the present buildings, have received their mental and moral training? In the words of the pamphlet: Membership in the St. Ignatius' Conservation League is unlimited: all who are able and willing to make a do- nation, however small, those who promise a donation, to be made when their circumstances permit, those also who are willing to spread the news of the plight in which the -Iesuit Fathers find themselves, will be enrolled as mem- bers of the League. First and foremost, every Alumnus should see that his name is on that list. For this purpose an Alumni banquet, which, however, will not be confined to the ranks of the Alumni alone, will be held May 12, 1919. The Student Body ot the University wishes to take this opportunity to thank the Alumni for the splendid sup- port accorded the Basketball team. Every game found scores of Alumni out to boost the boys on to victory. To start mentioning names would fill a book, but surely it W IN NIEMORIAIVI J. J. lVIcGranaghan, Law '20 T. F. Gaffney, LL.

His unswerving 'Sl fidelity to President Yxfilson in the matter of the League of Nations has won him nation-wide famei in his exposure of the Picture-Bride marriage schemes of Oriental nations, he has shown up the looseness of our present immigration laws: the cause of Irish Independence found no more ardent advocate: both in our own State and on the Hoor of the United States Senate, he has championed the rights of Ireland to complete independence. Brigadier-General Charles H. Mcliinstry, A. Ii., '84, on the signing' of the armistice. was sent into Germany as head of the American Commission to determine the '84 amount of indemnity Germany could pay. A great honor was recently conferred on Dr. Attilio II. Giannini, M.D., A. ll., '9-l. After having served as presi- dent of the Hank of Italy in this city, he has '94 been called to New York to fill the presidency of the East River National Bank. A farewell banquet was tendered him before he left for the East, which in itself was a wonderful tribute to the sterling qualities as well as the genial good nature of Doc Giannini. In his response to the eulogies spoken by Grace Archbishop Hanna, Senator -Iames D. Phelan, and others, Dr. Giannini turned towards some of the ,Iesuit Fathers present and with words of sincere gratitude told the assembled guests 70 THE IGNA TIA .V that whatever success he had achieved was due to the training' received at the hands oi the Fathers of Saint lggnatius' College. l.,ic-utenant Richard C, Tobin, U. S. N., recently re- turned from lirance, and is back in his oflices in the Hibernia llank. Another Alumnus connected with '96 the bank is Lieut.-Col. Thomas A. Driscoll, who re- signed as director to enter the army. Commis- sioned captain at the close of the first R. O. T, C. at the Presidio, he was sent to France with the Ninety-Hrst Di- vision. Owing to his efficient work in the Intelligent De- partment of the army, he has returned home wearing' the insignia of a Lieutenant-Colonel. For this work he was decorated by the 'French Cox ernment. Frequent word is received from the Casey at Treves. Leo C. Lennon, A. N., LL, B., Ph. D., A. B., '99. is on the job at the K, of C. hut with the Army of Occupa- '99 tion, and writes that he puts in a fairly busy day from 8 a. m. to ll p. m.: when last heard from he had just Hnished tinting his auditorium, was in the act of supervising a checker tournament, had already put on two boxing shows that week, and was pre- paring for a vaudeville entertainment to be held that very night. Another St. lgnatius' representative with the K. of C.'s is Martin Merle, who has covered himself with glory. He is now stationed in Paris, where he is engaged in writing' up the history of the Knights' activities during the war. San Francisco Council No. 615, Knights of Columbus. honored another Alumnus this year, when lYilliam P. -JLUMNI NOTES 71 Golden, All., '01, was elected Grand Knight. '01 Among the other officers chosen at the same time were C. Harold Caulfield, A.B., '13, Chancellor, and Raymond T. Feely. LL. ll., A. B., '14, Recorder. Dr. Louis X. Ryan, A.M., M. D., A.B., '01, was a familiar figure around the premises during the period of the S. A. T. C. as medical ofhcer of our unit. The '01 K. P. dodgers kept him busy: but especially dur- ing the trying days of the Flu, when so many of our boys were taken sick, though the more serious cases were transferred to Letterman General Hospital at the Presidio, he devoted all his time to the boys, and to him is due in great part the fact that all weathered the epi- demic. lYe regret to announce here the death of Frederick tl. Churchill, A. B., 'Ol who died at the O'Connor Sanitarium, San Jose, following an operation. To his wife and '02 family we extend our sincere sympathy. To Fran- cis Barrett, LL. B., A.

M., LL. ll., A. ll., '02, the Food Commission at lYashi1igton found an able assistant. He was engaged in the work of the Commission during '02 the whole period of the war: in the interest of food conservation he has visited all the Eastern cities, and on one occasion toured the Southern States lecturing in behalf of the good cause. He is still in NVash- ington for an indefinite stay, devoting all his energies to the work of the Commission, 72 THE IGNATIAN A great booster for all things Ignatian is Charles A. Scott, A. B., '04, All college events, whether literary or athletic, find Charlie present to do his bit to aid '04 the good work along. CJ1'tll1'lEllIlOI1S at St. Louis this year are full of interest to the Alumni as well as to the boys at college. Mr. Thomas bl. Flaherty, 9. bl., A. IS., '05, will be raised '05 to the dignity of the holy Priesthood, ,Tune 25, at St. Louis University. Besides being an Alumnus of St. Ignatius College, Mr. Flaherty labored for six long years as a member of the Faculty of our Institution: if vou don't thinl-1 that his memory is held in benediction, iust ask one of the old fellows about Mr Flaherty, and all your doubts will be set at rest. Besides Mr. Flaherty, two other former members of the staff will be ordained at St. Louis, Mr. john P. llootz, S. and Mr. Edward H. Menager, S. I. Our lienrtiest congratulations are with them. Hon. James Y. Coffey, LLD., ,O5, for a generation Judge of the Probate Court at San Francisco, and uni- versally esteemed as the friend of the widow and 705 the orphan, recently passed away after a lingering illness. To his relatives ,THE IGN.X'l'I.XN extends heartfelt sympathy. Sergt. Robert D. Rossi, B. A. ll., '08, is still with the Army of Occupation. Bob of course is interested vitally in the Prohibition movement, for Asti wines have ,08 made the name of California world-famous. Re- cently he wrote a letter to the Safety Valve of the Chronicle from far-off France, in which he voiced his views on th's question. .-ILUMQYI .VOTES 73 Debating was always one of the strong points of james Raleigh Kelly, LL. R., A. B., 'OS: those who recall the de- bate on the lnimigration issue, in which the Rossi '08 brothers opposed Raleigh and Joe Sweeney, will surely agree with me. 'Well, a short time ago Raleigh, accompanied by his wife, was on his way home when two bandits ordered nhands up. After arguing with the highwaymen for about an hour, Raleigh scored an- other debating victory, for by his persuasive eloquence, he succeeded in having his gold watch restored to him,-though he did part reluctantly with 350. The many friends of Daniel J. Flanagan, M. D., ex-,1O, will be glad to hear that word was received from him lately. During the period of the war he has been '10 serving with a commission in the Medical Corps of the British army. Now that things are quiet again, Dr. Dan promises to come to visit his old friends. Needless to say. he will receive a right royal welcome, for many years have passed since we have had the pleasure of seeing him. Not long after Lieut. Charles P. Knights, A. B., '12, had been sent to duty at Anchorage, Alaska, he was married in that city to Miss Jean Fottrell, who, accoma '12 panied by her mother, followed him northward. Mrs. Knights is a sister of Corp. XVilliam Fottrell, still abroad with the Army of Occupation. To Lieutenant and Mrs. Knights THE lGN.X'l'I.XX wishes a life of true hap- piness. The French Government surely picked a hero when it decorated Richard C. Queen, A. '12, for bravery on two 7-l THE IGNA TIAN occasions. We refer the reader of these notes to '12 the special article in the body of the issue. To Lieut. Thomas H. Foster, A. B., '16, and Ensign Cecil ul. Decker, E. S., '16, the two Benedicts of the Class of flti, go our hearty wishes for uninterrupted hap- '16 piness. lVe might speak in metaphor of the battle for existence and life's tempestuous seas, butdf we remember rightly, Tom was sometime poet of 'THE lisN.v1'IAN staff as well as editor, and consequently we will leave all poetic eftiusions to him. Quite an honor was conferred on Captain Thomas P. Ahern, US., '16, when he was made Judge Advocate of the General Courtmartial at the Presidio. '16 THE 1i:N.xT1.xN offers heartfelt sympathy to Mr. James Henry, S..l., ex-'16, and Arthur XY. Henry, Lf on the occasion of the recent death of their father. An efficiency expert has been developed by the army in the person of Lieut. 1V. Hall Evans, A. ll., '16, who has charge of the Salvage Department of several camps '16 situated in the Southern States. Hall is thinking' of staying with Uncle Sam, and the success which he has attained warrants a bright outlook for the future. Gui' hearts go out in sympathy to the family of Thomas F- Gflffmy, LL. D.. '16, who, after a brief illness, died a victim of Spanish influenza during' the days of '16 the epidemic. -fl L UMNI A-VO TES 75 Along with Dick Queen, joe Foley, lack fJ'Con- nor, Steve Erigero, Harry Iflatley, Ted Retliers, Joe Sullivan, and so many other St. Ignatius' '17 heroes, Robert li. Wlhite, A. ll., '17, wears the gold wound chevron. Bob sustained a severe wound in the head in the earlier days of the war, when he went over the top, July 25rd. He is still in France, but at last reports had virtually recovered from his injuries. The hand of death struck down one who only last year received his degree of Bachelor of Arts, when D.

'llo-day there remain but four members of the original class: XY- NV. Jacka, Frederick T. Leo, James McEntee, and the writer. Charles Haswell, the fifth member, was added in the Junior year by reason of his previous law training received in Oregon. In the latter part of l9l8 Mr, Jacka and Mr. Leo re- ceived their certificates to practice law from the District Court of Appeal of the First Appellate District. The other three members of the class, emboldened by the sue! cess of their classmates. went Hover the top in the fore- part of this year, and received their certificates. 'l'he class now claims the distinction of being the only Senior Class of the St. Ignatius Law College whose members were all admitted tc. practice law before Commencement day. To the professors, however, belongs the credit of enabling the members to elaim this honor, for without their thorough training the results might have been dis- appointing. llvar, both real and imaginary, is responsible for the decrease in the number of members. The withering tire from the canons of descent aimed by Professor Connolly. aided and abetted by that arch-enemy of all law students. Sir llvilliam Blackstone, created great gaps in the ranks. The ponderous and booming guns of Criminal Law, ln- ternational Law and Equity directed by Professor Mcliin- ley, scattered the front lines in every direction. Professor Riley's rapid-fire gunnery with its deadly barrage of Cali- fornia eitations and code sections, almost wiped out those 78 THE IGNA TI,-IN who were making a never-say-die fight. The methodical pounding from the whippet tanks operated by Professor O'Gara, and loaded with perplexing problems on Contracts and Evidence, had a discouraging effect on those who were already weakened by the onslaught, and were about to send aloft the white flag of surrender. And in order to make the slaughter almost complete, Professor Breen brought into action his snipers in the guise of Domestic Relations and Probate Law. Professor Beretta's aero- plane ascended so high into the realms of Corporation Law that even the most keen-eyed observers in the class lost sight of it at times. The inability to follow closely the seemingly erratic gyrations of this vehicle, caused many to retire to the rear to have their wounded feelings attended to. The disheartening percentages which he shot from the blue pencil put the -faint-hearted ones complete- ly out of action. The attackers, not being satisfied with the terrible losses suffered by the attacked, brought Pro- fessor Farry into the battle, with his gas bombs loaded with stupefying vapor from Bills and Notes, and Bail- ments. Accurate hurling of these bombs caused many to wander blindly and helplessly in No Mans Land of Tech- nicalities, where the yawning shell holes of oblivion af- forded them a tinal haven of refuge. Une would think that the Heroes of 1919 had received their full measure from the baptism of tire, but they had yet to meet Uncle Sams draft moppers-up. The invaders took many prisoners, who are now scattered throughout the four points of the globe. The brave little band of soldiers have retreated, and are now making their last stand in the Forest of Doubt surrounded by the Huns of the Faculty. Wlith cannon to the right of them, and cannon to the left of them, and xvith their backs to the XVall of Courage and Determina- tion, they will make their last stand, lighting desperately for the diploma which has been their spur during the LAW SCHOOL NOTES 79 long weary years of trench digging in the various fields of the law. Through toiling and sweating they have become con- verts Of the doctrine that a diploma is not a mere scrap of paper. The effort and energy expended in its acquisition are of such strenuous nature, that he who would hope to- be successful will come to grief and suffer banishment, if he treat such a document lightly. Should this class finally be victorious, the members will go to the peace table on Commencement Day cherish- ing the firm resolve to follow religiously those milestones. of high ideals laid out by their Alma Mater, which point the way to an honorable career in the law. In the meantime, as tlzey are not yet out of the woods, and in a spirit of precaution, they are calling on the good Lord for reinforcements, and fervently praying that in so- far as the biblical expression first quoted applies to the veterans of the 1919 Class, it shall not be changed in this hour of trial and troubles to read Many are called, but none are chosen.

The Sophomores are turning what at hrst seemed des- tined to be a year of small accomplishment into a banner session. Having recalled Ensign Ufag- SOPHOMORE ner from Naval Aviation, Lieutenant CLASS McGlade from the bright lights of Broadway, Sergt.-Major Riordan from a Southern camp twhere, we are told, he was perusing Blackstone as well as the I. D. RJ, Sergeant Casey, the Port Costa Ghost, from the suffocating mustard gas fumes of Edgewood Arsenal, Naval Reservists XYalsh and Hallinan from the snares of movie land, et al., the Sophs cried Let 'er go! and they have been going ever since. Certainly each week deposits a store of legal knowl- edge in the crowded domes of the second year men. And it is their proud boast that in their very midst has risen one who, though ever unwilling to admit it, has evinced the same grasp of the law and the same power of S2 THE IGNA THIN logical reasoning that made our friend, Sir Williaiil Blackstone, top the batting average in the English league some years ago. Aye, verily, there is a man of no mean ability among us, and he is none other than our stalwart preserver of the peace, Michael Riordan. Nor have the Sophomores been backward in athletic activities. Did not Mew Cronin develop rapidly under the watchful eye of Coach Thorpe, and play a sterling game at center throughout the season? Did not the silver-tongued Sinn Feiner, Vincent XY. Hallinan, prove to be a most valuable man when reinforcements were needed in the guarding line? And did not even the writer-my pen hesitates with humility-did he not ven- ture on to the court, clad only in the scanty raimentof a basketball suit?

The army ambulances from Letterman paid frequent visits to the Barracks and each time bore ot? a victim to the Presidio for treatment. All came back to us-alive, thank God. Then ten representatives left for the R. O. T. C, in Texas-and we were 105. The Armistice was signed shortly after, and within a few weeks Demobilization set in and was soon completed. VVith the reopening of classes in January, the routine of College work began again on the old basis.

Daly, '19, who opened with a few appropriate remarks. There were five contestants, each with an original oration to hold the audience spellbound. Mr. Edward 1. Fitzpatrick, '21, was the first speaker of the evening, and modesty forbids him to tell here the impression left on judges and audience by his speech entitled: The Conliict lletween Law and Lib- erty. Following him Mr. William T. Sweigert, '21, arose and in a forceful manner delivered his oration: The Third Champion. The paper was well written, a splendid exam- ple of oratory, with arguments marshaled in logical order and embellished by tigures. His eloeution aided to bring out into relief the strong position he adopted. Hr. Chester Ohlandt, '20, was the next orator, and in a firm. convincing' way he spoke on The Post-Bellum Reconstruction and Labor Problemfl His arguments were clear-cut and to the point, and the solution he offered the powers-that-be in this critical hour, quite original. Hardly had the applause subsided when up rose Mr. Melvyn 1.

The conclusion of the schedule saw a championship title still undecided as to ownership. Officially, California and Santa Clara were tied for first place, with Saint Ignatius barred from equal honors. California finished her schedule first, winning six games and losing one. Santa Clara and Saint Ignatius then stood with five victories and one defeat on each of their records with the game between them still unplayed. lYhen, eventually, that memorable contest was com- pleted, the scorers had credited the Missionites with 18 points and Saint Ignatius with 17. For apparently very good reasons, this game was prof tested by the Ignatians. U. of C. and Santa Clara were unable to decide supremacy because of the disbanding of the Bear's squad, and Saint Ignatius was protestingly rele- gated to second place. Aside from this unfortunate occurrence, the Varsity experienced a very successful season both as regards the calibre of the team and the support accorded it, especially in view of the pessimistic outlook at the beginning of the year, through the absence of our old guard of basketeering in the service of Uncle Sam, and the crippling of our present prospects through the illness of Tub O'Neill, last year's captain-an illness that kept him ol? the court for the entire season. But stout hearts grow stouter in adversity and we entered a team that, despite its light- ness and the inexperience of at least two of its members, was destined to earn itself an enviable name in the arch- ives of the league. The personnel of the squad were: 9-L THE IGNA TIA N Molkenbuhr Ccaptfl, Lauterwasser, Lorrigan, forwardsg Cronin, Daly and Ohlandt, centersg XVilliamson, Ivan Naroevich, Nick Maroevich, Ryan, Duffy and Hallinan, guards. St. Ignatius, 53g U. of Pacific, 35. XYe opened our season at San Jose against University of Pacific. Wlhile we won by a comfortable margin, the game was a clean, fast exhibition, with our forwards doing the better shooting. The San .Ioseans fought hard but there was never any doubt as to the result. Captain Molken- buhr starred with a number of sensational baskets and his customary brainy work on the lioor while Lorrigan eluded the hostile guards for many a tally. Altogether it was a good opening and the boys faced Davis Farm on the following week with confidence. St. Ignatius, 283 Davis Farm, 11. The game was played on a cross between a bowling alley and a dance hall, its narrow dimensions being used to good effect by one of the Farmers' guards who'd give Jess Wfillard pointers on size. The first half ended with the Ignatians in the lead, 11-8. In the second, however, they started off with a rush and piled up the score. Ray Lorrigan's rangy form was the Varsity's leading figure. Ray had a little knack of shooting the ball from the middle of the court that shook the hay-seeds in the Agriculturists' whiskers. Be- fore they sicked a foxy young Reuben on him, Ray had manipulated the score far above the scale of plain decency. Thereafter he contented himself with trying to turn the aforementioned guard white, and the game grew a trifle unladylike, being readjusted by the insertion of ol' joe Ryan, whose notorious proclivities with regards to six-shooters and Hsticuffs ended friction. The enemy shot but one field goal in the second half, demonstrating the effectiveness of our defensive system and Messrs. NYil- liamson and Maroevich as guards. Cronin, at center, played his customary hard game and was replaced only VARSITY if THLETICS 95 when the contest was safely on ice by Daly, who evinced absolutely no affection for the Davis feelings and tore around quite satisfactorily. St. Ignatius, 235 California, 41. And Freedom shrieked as Kozciusko fell! NVe would pass over in silence the memory of that game, but the Gods do not so decree. Just what, psychologically or physiolog- ically, happened to our gallant and devoted shooting stars, we are unable to say. Suffice it that the transbay team hung over the only legitimate defeat that the Varsity suffered this season. Nor is it inadequate to add that some little alibi per- sisted. For our stalwart center, Melvyn Ignatius Cronin, the Sunset's shield, Tim Schultz's pride -to twist Scott a tritie-exercised the characteristic so predominant in his race, which characteristic is the red flush of battle, to such an extent that Referee Harris-peace to his memory-found Mel's presence at variance with his teclmical administration, and that young man went out via four personal fouls in about Hve minutes of play, to be followed per the same vehicle by Raymond D. W'illiamson, All., shortly thereafter. and the game was thrown, tied and branded. Ryan and Ohlandt made a determined effort to save the day, but the squad's teamwork suffered so greatly through the loss of the regulars that the llears won out easily. Lauterwasser, who, despite his diminutive architecture, proved the great- est forward in the league, had his first chance in the league with the Varsity in this game and proved a won- derful asset to the lgnatians. Though the newspapers questioned their ability to repeat-a question rather de- cidedly answered by Santa Clara's decisive victory over them-the U. of C. squad had nicked our record badly but not our hopes, for it was generally conceded that we displayed better teamwork than the Bears, and had Cronin not been so disastrously ejected the result would probably have been quite different. lK'hile Mel may not be the 96 TH E I G.V.1l TIA N fastest man in the world nor the most wonderful shot, his height, strength and willingness combined with a lot of fight and basketball craft proved invaluable assets to the Ignatians. St. Ignatius, 33g Stanford, 29. In what a local paper described as hthe fastest basketball game ever played on the Pacific Coast, the Varsity humbled the great Stanford squad. As the latter had beaten Santa Clara, they had high hopes of the championship and played the hardest possible game against our crew, but the splendid teamwork of the Varsity was too much for the Cardinal. Lauterwasser was the individual star of the contest, ring- ing baskets from impossible angles and most difficult positions, generally from the arms of the opposition guards. The diminutive star negotiated, with Molken- buhr, some of the best basketball St. Ignatius fans have ever witnessed, while Cronin held down the formidable Righter with a vengeance. At half time we led 22 to 9. But trust the doughty Crimson to die hard. In the second half Stanford came back with their proverbial fighting finish, and amid the keenest excitement ran the score up to within two points of the Ignatians. About the time our rooters began to develop acute hysterisis however. f'I,autie' dropped in two long held goals and cinched the contest. Ohlandt was put on Righter for the last two minutes of the play and gave a good demonstration of the Siamese twins with the blond star of the Palo Altans and the doom of Stanfords hopes was sealed. This con- test tied U. C., Santa Clara and St. Ignatius for first place and relegated Stanford to second place in the league. St. Ignatius, 31g University of Nevada, 24. Our next victo1y found the exponents of the Divorce sys- tem on the short end of the score. The game was hard fought and fast but lacked team play on either side. Lauter- wasser was the Ignatians' chief point-getter in this con- test also. Mackenzie for the losers did some tall indi- l'.-IRSITV -J THLETICS 97 vidual playing and gave our guards a hard tussle, but the consistent shooting of the Varsity kept us safely ahead. At that the Nevadans played an unexpectedly good game, and the score was never too one-sided to take the edge off the excitement. St. Ignatius, 17: Santa Clara, 18. This was the most unkindest cut of all. The local dailies termed it the most exciting game in years, and exciting it nn- doubtedly was. At the same time it put us out of a cham- pionship under circumstances that would wring tears from the eyes of a Monte Cristan gambler. The lgnatians, in the first half, ontplayed the heavier, taller Missionites to a fare-ye- well, Maroevich and VVilliamson playing a wonderful game at guard while Lauterwasser and Molkenbuhr, the smallest physical and largest etymological combination in the league, played like meteors. At half time the Varsity led 10 to 5. And therein lies a tale. The scorers had Mokkie credited with one held and one foul goal, whereas that young man and a dozen reliable witnesses will swear he shot two field goals and no fouls. which would make the score at the end of the halt ll-5. More- over, Referee Harris pulled one that we claim was a Zimmerman. Lauterwasser was fouled while making a shot, the whistle being blown while the ball was in the air. Harris held up two lingers indicating that the basket, which Lautie dropped in as the whistle blew, should go to our credit and that we should be allowed two foul shots. He went so far as to go to the side-lines, call for a rule book, and in answer to the query of our coach as to the decision, said: 4'The score counts: I will not argue with anyonef' Despite this, he allowed the captain of the opposing team to decide the game against us in favor of Santa Clara. For Demetrio Pasquale Diaz talked at him with his hands for some several minutes with such success that the arbiter changed his decision. throwing out the Held goal scored and allowing but one QS THE f GXA TIAN foul shot. Had the goal thrown been allowed we had, ere now, a full title to the championship. ln the second half the game tore along at about the same proportionate score. Manager Bill Thorpe decided the team needed some new blood and replaced our rangy Mel with the comparatively small Ohlandt. Vtlherefore Yicini demonstrated that a good big man is considerably better than a good little man and Santa Clara began to creep up despite the desperate efforts of the lgnatians. Three men under 145 pounds on an unlimited team, espe- cially against a heavy team like the Mission squad, put a team under a handicap and Manelli aided and abetted by Vicini shot with fatal accuracy until, with about one- nineteenth of a second left to play, he put in the basket that robbed us of our laurels. One class we have little love for is the squealer type, but we claim that the loss of that contest was one hard luck duke. St. Ignatius, 40g St. Mary's, 16. That hard luck doesn't dampen Ignatian spirit was well shown on the following week when we took the hard-fighting St. Marys squad down the line for a decisive trimming. The Claklanders were weakened by the loss of their star forward. Ritchie, but put up a good battle for the first half, the period ending with the Varsity leading 8-5. Griffiths did some good work for the enemy in this connection and it looked like a battle to the tape. liut in the second we hit our stride and began dropping them in in old-time form. Lautie was quite prominent but Captain Eddie proved his real worth with basket after basket, the guards being totally unable to hold him away from the hoop. The transbay team deserved a better fate as they put up a good, clean battle, but they caught the lgnatians at a psychologically unfortunate moment while the Santa Clara contest was still rankling our breasts and the one- sidedness of the score testified to the vengefulness of the Varsity. Nick Maroevich, younger member of the for- VARSITY ATHLETICS 99 midable combination of affectionate brothers, and XX'incie Hallinan materially aided the Ignatians in this contest. And so we close the career of our valiant squad. Tniz IoN.xTI.xN takes occasion to congratulate them not only on the successful season they completed but on what is tar more to their credit, the clean, sportsmanlike quality they displayed in every contest. And we must not neglect to render due praise to Dill Thorpe, whose energy and indefatigability were large factors in bringing the team to such a height of efficiency. Gemrd f. Clzsey. High Sfrhnnl .Aihlviira BASKETBALL. Another basketball season is over. This year almost undivided attention was given to the development of weight teams in the 110-lb. and 130-lb. classes. The success attending the various teams representing the Red and Blue on the basketball court is due greatly to Mr. A. J. Qyarzo, S. I., Athletic Moderator of the High School, through whose untiring ehforts as well as through the generous support accorded him by the managers and players of the respective teams, St, lg- natius High had teams on the tioor of which she might well be proud. Shortly after the season was begun. the 110-lb. Team came into the limelight as a strong contender for honors in the San Francisco Athletic League. Under the able management of Charlie Boden and captained by jeff Gaffney, this team played eighteen games in all, together with four S. F. A. L. games. Of the former only six were lost: of the latter only one was lost. NVQ shall say nothing about the outside games, except that the team was out to win, which means that when this peppery bunch of young- Sters started scoring, they usually kept it up until the final whistle. Captain 'flcffu Gaffney led the way and the rest just followed suit. The ll0's were scheduled to meet seven teams in the S. F. A. L.

HIGH SCHOOL flTHLliTlCS 101 High, and was a hard-fought affair throughout. lt sounds like an alibi to say that two of our men were clown with the 'Aliuf' yet such was the case: however, as the superior ability of the Polyites won them the League Pennant in the 110-lb. division, there was no disgrace in being defeated by such a team. The final score was: Poly 33, St. Ignatius 13. The team next met and disposed of, in succession, Commerce, -13-313 Cogswell, 34-10: Lowell, ol-12. The teams representing Mission, Lick and Sacred Heart Col- lege forfeited, giving our youngsters second place in the race. Circle blocks were awarded to the following members of the squad: First and foremost, the star of the team, Captain len Gaffneyg smiling Chesty Keithg Eine Cullinan, next to Mayor Rolph the Pride of the Missiong Pop Cunningham: Speed Lane, Gaffney's right-hand man: Teddy Conklin and Phil Morrissey. Two of these basketers, Gaffney and Lane. were chosen as members of the All-Star 110-lb, Team of the S. F. A. L. The 130-lb. Team flying the S. I. colors started the season with a rush, but like the 11O's were unfortunate, for one of the strongest teams of the S. F. A. L. opposed them in the opening game. To lose a game by the close score of 31 to 30, and that in the last half- minute of the play, is hard, yet such was the case in the S. 1.-Humboldt game. Our boys kept the lead up to the very last, but at the critical moment the old Jinx came out from under the house, and the tide of battle turned, so that the gong found us on the short end of the score. The l3O's defeated Lowell in a fast and scrappy con- test, 34 to 28, and had no trouble in disposing of Cogs- Will, 33 to 18. The season Went along smoothly until they met Poly, and here again defeat was hung on them. It was real basketball from start to finish, enlivened by the listic prowess of Captain Ulrlandsome Fat O'l3rien. But his loss to the team helped Poly to win by the big margin of 48 to 18. The line-up of the team was: Marty O'Brien, Cap- taing Bi11', Rice, lack Cavanagh, Mickey Clancey, 102 TH If I GX.-l TIA .Y Al Popes, aloe Looney, Mac McCormick, and Spider', Kelly. The Brownie League. The llrownie League, under the able direction of Mr. F. A. Acquistapace, S. I., was a success in every way. On March 26th, after three weeks of squeaky pepf' the final game was played off by the Pigmies' and the Kewpies.'l Though the Kewpies remained well in the lead throughout, still the mighty Pigmies did not give up the fight without a struggle. The final score was in favor of the Kewpies.' 34 to 7. Those who started on the winning team were: Captain Neil Loughlin, Jimmy Deistel, Handsome Melvin, Ru1Cfy Tienan, Dinkey Peggs, 'lSqueeky Maguire, and above all, the coach, the lightning' basket shooter of the 11Os, jeff Gaffney. Interclass Basketball. Interclass basketball was ushered in with no end of enthusiasm and pep, Each class was represented by a team to bring the bacon home. For two weeks the struggle continued. The deciding' game was played between Third Year and Second Year, and it was a battle royal. lYhen the dust cleared away, the Third Year classmen were awarded the pennant. 36 to 26. Numerals were granted to Captain Martyn O'Brien, joe Looney, Ullresl' Conlan, lack Cavanagh, Gerald Coakley, Tony Glynn and Bill Klullaney. INTERCLASS TRACK. On Saturday morning, March 2261, when the fog' lifted, nearly one hundred spike-clad athletes were re- vealed on the Golden Gate Park cinder paths. The event was the annual. lnterclass Track Meet, one of the best attended and closely contested meets held for many seasons. The contest was divided into Senior and Junior divisions, the latter being' subdivided into the 100-lb., 110-lb., 120-lb. and 130-lb. classes. In the Senior Divi- sion the honors were carried off by Fourth Year High with 49 points: the nearest competitor was Third Year, with 13 points, gathered chiefly by Charlie Ruggles, who scored half of them. jimmy Duffy, the candy- store magnate, was the stellar performer of the Senior Iilrj l gr 'l rr. uh ure, llllril lllii mil 'llrliu lil ulljf' ani 'l iii' P lui '1rlif'l lil!

Tom Mahoney of the same class came next, winning easily the S80-yd. and one-mile runs. Fourth Year's other points were tallied by llarney, Devine, O'lXrien, and last but not least tinsert by the Editor, owing to the modesty of our seribel, Gene U'Nleara, who with Jimmy Duffy, holds the keys to the Terres- trial Paradise, the Candy Store. This quartette ran a little meet all their own, and swelled the number of points for the class. There was a touch of real ex- citement in the Relay, won by Fourth Year: the winning team was made up of Tom Mahoney. Gene fiJ'lX'leara, Charlie Harney, and -liinmy Duffy. The Junior Meet was won easily by lfirst Year, with 68 points, followed by Second Year with 39 points. In the 100-lb. elass Jimmy l'J'Gara captured the trophy with 10 individual points: Teddy Conklin and Pop Cuimingharn outran all in the 110-lb. division, while Jeff Gaffney scored the highest number of points for the l20's, and tied with Pop Cunningham for the greatest number of individual points in the entire meet. Herman Gilly Carried off the honors in the 130-lb. class. In the Senior Meet numerals were awarded to the following: vl. Duffy '19, T. Mahoney '19, G. Devine '19, H, Q'Brien '19, E. Brown '20, C. Ruggles '20, and Martina '22, Among the ,luniors those who gained numerals were: Gaffney, H. Gilly, Dowd, T. Conk- lin, E. Farrell, all of '221 F, Cunningham, nl. O'Gara, F. Devine, all of '21, and P. Daley, '20 A word of thanks must be offered to those who kindly consented to act as officials of the meet. Not the least of these was the efficient announcer, Charlie Tloden, '19, whose stentorian tones out-foghornedu the famous Foghorn Murphy. BASEBALL. The baseball season was opened with a Se1'ieS of interclass games for the purpose of picking a repre- 104 THE IGXA TIAN sentative squad. Even the fog could not dampen the ardor of the players, who were out to hang the pennant on the classroom wall. Six games were played in all: the iinal game, played by Third and Second on April lO, turned out to be a rather one-sided affair, Third Year winning by a score of ll to O. Numerals were awarded to the '20 pastimers: Conlan, Carlin, G. Coakley, A. Glynn, E. Corbett, M. U'lTSrien. P. Daley, L. Donohue, XY, Mullaney, D. McQuaid and E. Brown. As the If:N,xT1.xN goes to press, the High School llaseball Team has gotten under way, and, captained by jimmy Duffy, is putting up a good brand of the grand old game. Due to the fact that our High School closes so early in comparison to the other schools in the city, St. Ignatius did not enter a team in the S. F. A. L., but will play independent ball. The line-up of the team follows: I. Duffy, I. Meaney, pitchers: L. Cosgrove, T. Ryan, catchers: l. Hall, lst: F. Cunningham, 2nd: G. Coakley. Srd: E. Kelley, ss.: I. Conlan, M. O'Brien, E. Ilroxvn, C. Harney, E. Corbett, A. Glynn, outhelders. The Midget Team. The speedy little Midgets are out on the diamond every day, and bid fair to add to the laurels gained by Midget ,teams of previous years. They won their iirst game by defeating the boys from St. James' High, several of whom toxvered head and shoulders over our youngsters. A good schedule has been arranged for them. and they are confident of victory. 'iLefty Mc- Grory is mound performer, with Teddy Conklin on the receiving end: with jeff Gaffney on first, C,hesty Keith on second, Pete Kelly on third, and Euie Cul- linan playing short, ive have an infield hard to beat.
