L. Spelman, '25 N attempting a brief sketch-a very briclf one-of the life and achievements of His Eminence George Cardinal Mundelein, Chi- cago's first cardinal, we neither hope to say something new or to bring to light something obscure. At the time when the archbishop of Chicago was made a mem- ber of the Sacred College at the Vatican by the Sovereign Pontiff, Pope Pius XI, and on the occasion ol' his return to his own see, our news- papers and magazines have filled their pages with ac- counts of very phase of his life, every detail oi' his work, and every expression ot his principles. VVe repeat an old story in order that the IGNA- 'ries PREP and the faculty and student body ot St. Ig- natius High School may pay tribute to their ecclesiastical superior and congratulate their new cardinal upon the singular distinction with which he has been recently honored. In the year 1872 George Mundelein was born in New York, on the turbulent East Side. At the age of six he began his education at St. Nicholas parish school and passed from thence to the De lla Salle Institute otf the Chris- tian Brothers. He next attended Manhattan College, and having chosen the priesthood for his litels work, he entered the preparatory seminary at St. Vineent's in Pennsylvania. Here he so distinguished himself in his studies that he was sent- to Rome to the College of Propaganda. It was here that he was ordained on June 8, 1895, and received his degree of Doctor of Divinity. After completing his studies in Rome, the young priest returned to Brooklyn where he was 201 His EMINEXCE Gifouon C.x1nux.xL BIUXDI-II,liIN Courtesy of Chicago ,'lIHl'l'tlfl1? appointed secretary to the chancellor, Bishop McDonnell. Twelve years later he was made auxiliary bishop ot this same city. ln February, l9l5, Bishop Mundelein was placed at the head ot' the archdiocese of Chicago, following the death ol' Arch- bishop Quigley. Although cited as Amer- ica's youngest archbishop, he quickly distinguished himself by his ready grasp ot the religious, p o l i t i e a l and economic conditions of Chi- cago. I' n d e r Archbishop Mundelein's a ble manage- ment the Quigley Prepara- tory Seminary rose from a comparatively small school to an institution acknowledged to be the largest and most complete in the lfnited States tor the training ot young men studying for the priest- hood. ln like manner sprang into being the Bishop Quarter School for small boys, Rosary College, Josephinium Acad- emy and the Immaeulata for girls, and numerous other educational institutions. Vllhen the Loyola University Medical School was stagger- ing under the :financial burden of maintaining ,its Class A standing, Archbishop Mundelein came to its support. But the greatest educational project inaug- urated by Archbishop lllundelein and one which is now rapidly nearing completion, is the Sem- inary of St. Mary-ot'-the-Lake at Area, Illinois. lnstitutions such as these shall, always remain as a lasting memorial to the man whose foresight and ability have caused their erection. Another work for which our cardinal will al- ways be remembered is his organization of the Associated Catholic Charities. It was fortunate for the poor and invalid of Chicago that such IGNATIUS PREP a man was at the head ot their diocese when the usual public 'l'unds allotted to Catholic charities were suddenly denied them in 1916. The urgency ot the need was instantly realized by the archbishop and the dispatch with which he collected the necessary ahns was our first tirm conviction that the destinies ot our diocese were guided by no ordinary leader. lle has taught his people sell'-sacrifice and has made them 'l'eel the inward joy' which is the temporal fruit ot their gener- osity. Une ot' thx ca rdinal's 3 principal 'Works in the l v iield ol' social I service was Q th e establish- 1 ment ol! the - Big Brother- hood in con- junction with the lloly Name Society. 'I' he 3 Vlticagm l'nion ol' this society is now the ' largest in the W o r l d . 'l'he Catholics ol' Uhieago re- spondedwhole- h ea rt e d,l 3' to the appeal ot th e arch- bishop in be- halt' ol' stricken lflurope during and alter the Vlvorld Vlvar. NVith the close of the war, Archbishop Mun- delein sought to demonstrate to his people in a most striking manner an evidence ol' the reign of peace. Ile theretore succeeded in securing tor Chicago the Eucharistic Uongress ot' 1926. For this purpose he has pushed torward the Work ot Area which will be the scene of the celebration. The Congress ol' 1926 will be the 'llllli C'.xRnIN.xL IN His STVDY first olf tis kind to be held in the United States and the Catholic hierarchy from the World over will be in attendance. All this splendid Work of our archbishop was not unnoticed by the great pastor in the Eternal City. 'l'l1G attention of Pope Xl was attracted to the great evidences of Catholicism in the metropolis ot the Middle VVest and he under- stood that only under the proper . leadership could such suc- c e s s b e a t - tained. As a result the Su- preme Pontiff summoned t h e A r c h - b i s h o p t o Rome Where he created him a c a r d i n a l , n : on March 27, 1924. T h e people olf Chicago, C a t h o l i c , Protestant and Jew, rejoiced at the honor. Cardinal Mun- delein is the tirst cardinal west- of the West of the Al- leghanies, the first cardinal of Chicago. The eyes of all are turned to the future for all now realize Courtesy of Fhirfryo ,lnzcrivcm that at last we shall. see the truition of the ideas and ideals ot our champion in every noble cause. May success attend him in his every en- deavor. The wisest and best of all ages have agreed that our present lite is a state of trial not of enjoyment. and that we new suffer sorrow that we may hereafter be partakers of happiness-- Sir lfVf1lier Scott . 202 IGNATIUS PREP The Cardinals Homecoming 'i By John Loef, '24 AY 11, l924, may justly be recorded in the annals of Chicago as the day on which the people of this city extended the hcartiest welcome they had ever given to a CARDINAL MUNDELEIN Bnnssss THE Przormz or Cllrcixcso Courtesy of Clzicugo .lnzfricrfu Man of Peacef' On this day His Eminence George Cardinal Mundelein. Archbishop of Chicago, returned from the Sacred Consistory held in Rome on March 27, l924. at which His Holiness Pope Pius XI created him cardinal of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Early in the afternoon our new cardinal was welcomed at the train by some of the most notable personages ot' Chicago. among whom was His Honor Mayor NYilliam E. Dever and a host of clerical and lay friends. As His Eminence and his party drove north down Michigan Boulevard in their automobiles. they were preceded by the members of the various Catholic organizations. The cardinal seemed pleased as he viewed the great multitude of people and showed his pleasure by raising his hand in blessing hundreds of times. The first part of the procession continued until the paradcrs reached North Ave- ' ' nue where they dispersed, the parochial and high school stu- dents now taking up the march which turned south on Dear- born Street. Among the many banners tloating through the air was that ot' St. Ignatius High School, our students turn- ing out in large numb:-rs. This was to be boys, day. so when the parade reached the Holy Name Cathedral at Superior and Cass Streets, the boys passed inside and taking their places. waited in reverence and silence tor the entrance of the cardinal. As His Eminence en- tered. clothed in his gorgeous robes ot scarlet and ermine and preceded by a host of acolytes, he was greeted by an outburst. oi' song 'lirozn a choir ot' a hun- - dred and titty voices. Slowly he walked down the aisle until he reached the altar where he knelt at the priedieu and then ascended his throne. Monsignor-s Kelley, Robal and Kelly took their places beside him. After a briet' space His liminenee rose and in a short speech encouraged the youth of Chicago to pursue zealously their training in the interests of the civic and moral betterment of the nation. He then raised his hand in solemn blessing over thousands of bowed heads. Then with the '10 Salutarisn Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament was commenced. The next publie appearance of Cardinal Mundelein was on the following evening. Monday, May 12, at the Auditorium theatre. Here he delivered an address which was es- timated in the press by critics who are hard 203 IGNATIUS PREP to please as a model of oratorieal excel- lence. On the next day at l0:30 o'eloek in the Holy Name Cathedral, the new prince of the church participated in his first Holy Mass as a member of the Sacred' College of Cardinals. For ecclesiastical pomp and solemn dignity nothing like it had ever been witnessed before in Chicago. The Rt. Rev. Edmund Dunne, D. D., Bishop of Peoria, was the eelcbrant, and the Rt. Rev. Peter J. Muldoon, D. D., Bishop of Rockford, preached an eloquent sermon. A .banquet ot the priests and bishops was held in the evening' at the Drake hotel. The lflxtension Society now tendered a re- eeption to the eardinal with 21 banquet at the Hlaekstone on XYednesday evening. Governors of the whole society were in attendance, from Bishop Patriek Barry of St. Augustine to Bishop OlDonnell of Victoria, and from Bishop liyneh of Dallas to Arehbishep McNeil of Toronto. The week ot celebration ended on Saturday morning with a Pontifical High Mass in the cathedral tor the religious of the arehdioeese.

President Senior Class, Prefect of Sodality, '23, '24, Cast of The Last Trick and The Royal Yellow, R. O. T. C. We are fortunate in having a man of Ed's attainments at the helm. He has capably directed all movements of the stu- dents and has always shown a willingness to further the interests of the seniors. He has a list of scho- lastic honors four years long. Mahoney, Joseph. Bantam Basketball champs, '22, lights, '23, heavics, '24, All Star Catholic Forward, '23, '24, Baseball, '23, '24, Monogram Club, Vice President Senior Class. It is scarcely necessary to voice our opinion of Joe. His remarkable athletic record bids fair to be never equaled. He is one of the very best basketball players turned out by Igna- tius. He terrorized opposing heavyweights although he is a legitimate lightweight. And Joe's powers did not turn his head. Every student is proud to call Joe his friend. Burke, Arthur B. Secretary and Treasurer of Senior Class, President of Glee Club, Cast of Royal Yellow, It Pays to Advertise, and The Last Trick. ' If Art pursues his vocal tendencies he will soon have John McCormick selling potatoes for a liv- ing. Not only that, but Art could gather consider- able fame as an actor. When in his second year he was given the principal role in the Royal Yellow and proved himself to be a dramatic sensation. Butler, Francis. Played football in '22, '23, basket- ball in '24, track in '21, '22, '23, and captained the team in '24, tennis and swimming teams of '24, Mon- ogram Club and Senior Prom Committee, class presi- dent of 4B, PREP Associate Editor. It can easily be seen that Frank has done about everything that is possible in a high school. He has gained a host of friends here who know that he will keep up the good work in future years. Of course, his activities at high school were not all academic, as can be seen by his record in Austin, and, we mustn't forget,-Oak Park. Edwards, Paul. Editor-in-Chief of the PREP, '24, PREP Staff, '21, '22, '23, '24, Manager Track, '24, Monogram Club. Paul has made quite a name for himself during his four years at St. Ignatius, and this year handled the PREP in a creditable manner. He has written more articles for the high school maga- zine than anybody else in the school. Paul has a per- sonality that you can 't help liking, and much of the success of the track team is due to his capable man- aging. 206 IGNATIUS PREP Abraham, Ray1110nd L. One could hardly call Abe retiring: no conversation was ever so tight that he couldn't Iind a chink by which to enter. A loyal backer of student activities and :1 leader of his class, he is well known about the school. Ahearn, Th0I11aS. Salutatorian. Tom's accomplish- ments in the last four years have been mostly rc- corded in the principal's office. Don't misunderstand this, because Tom is down in the books as being the winner of a gold medal besides winning a nice bunch of honor ribbons. He was the Senior Elocution win- ner, a contributor to the PREP, and, although he is an ardent golf bug, and a conlirmed Sox fan, we have nothing serious against him. For further particulars, see Breen, A. Bartlett, Charles A. Charlie acquired fame largely through his success as chef of Pot Pie. Assistant Editor of the PREP and a contributor fo: four yearf, he has demonstrated both :L humorous and serious ability in his Writings that promises future success in a literary Ileld. Has a weakness for the Line, and played basketball on the flies in '22, l23l. YVithout :1 doubt, he is one of '24's best. - Breen, Al0ySi11S. Al has two good medals Cwon in his first and second yearsj to back up his reputation as a student. Besides this he carries off first honors at every opportunity. He and Tom Ahearn, the insepv arable pair, have grown famous as a prize winning combination, and backers of all school enterprises. Al has a beautiful voice that quite charms the hearer, a Wonderful soprano. Burrill, Myron. Debater, '23g Mission Crusade direc- tor, '24, Class Poet. Myron is one of St. Ignatius' most industrious workers. He has a pantherls per- sistence and he has certainly produced results. He is amicable to all students and a good friend of most of the teachers. A regular contributor to the PREP. And lest We forget, his sweater with the prominent ilI.77 207 1 i I i- IGNATIUS PREP Caliendo, Joseph. From Joe 's demeanor and appear- ance one would scarcely consider hi1n to be a formid- able athlete, yet his record comprises two years of flyweight basketball, and in '24 he was the unanimous choice for All-Catholic forward. Joe also shines in Latin class. Condon, James. Baseball manager, '24, While he did not participate in the National pastime, Jimmy showed his true Ignatius spirit by accepting the man- agerial reins of the championship team. Jimmy is rather reserved, but everyone realizes that he knows his stuff. VVe'1l probably next hear from him at college. Colohan, William. VVillie takes great pride in show ing his little gold sweater about school, the same being the result of his work on the debating team. He hopes to have another one this summer. Besides be- ing noted for his oratorical powers, our Willie has coppcd two gold medals, five first honor ribbons and a red one. The debating team will miss him next year and so will his many friends who will graduate in June. Cooney, Edward. R. O. T. C. Although Ed did not take actual part in athletics, he was always a loyal backer of all the school teams. A good student and loyal in all activities, Ed became quite popular during his four years at school. Ru'fnor has it that he is very adept at knocking those little colored spheres about the mysterious green covered tables. Crane, Charles. Charley is full of knowledge. He coppcd highest class honors in '23 and always was among the leaders. He has a quiet disposition and is heard from only when whispering information dur- ing exams and calling off L stations after school hours. And, come to think of it, he did go to a party 01106. 208 IGNATIUS PREP Cullen, Mathew. Matty, besides being the strong man of the class, holds the distinction of never being defeated in an open debate. He has a well modu- lated voice and against his gently persistent ciforts, all opposition quails. He has been there with the stuE in all school activities. Is adept on tables with smooth green tops, as has been reluctantly ad- mitted by fellow classmates. Donohue, Daniel. Dan has certainly amassed for him- self during his stay at Ignatius a host of honors garnered from nearly every branch of the school's activities. Part of his fame due to his ability on the stage, since he has taken part in every play put out by Ignatius in the last four years: Lct's Go, The Dictator, The Royal Yellow, 'tIt Pays to Advertise, and The Last Trick. His other ac- complishments include a managership of the '2-1 bas- ketball team. He played as regular center on the '23 football team and, although in his first year at foot- ball, handled himself like a veteran. Monogram Clubg Glee Club, '21, '22. Ignatius is going to miss him next year on the stage and in athletic fields. Dore, Emmet. Emmet has not done much in an ath- letic way, but has won many friends by a willing helping spirit in all school activities. He is one of the many students who are not prominent in athletic branches but who are necessary for the success of every school and class. A good scholar and a square student, he has won for himself the respect of the entire class. Downey, John Paul. Orchestra. Having turned in four years of honest endeavor, Paul certainly merits the coveted sheepskin. Proclaimed Captain of the Orchestra by his class, he strove to be worthy of the title by rendering soul stirring drum solos at public exercises. Ducey, Vincent. Vinnie's stay at St. Ignatius has been short but this did not prevent him from making the tennis team, and many friends. He came to this smoky town from Detroit, the home of the flivvcr, to pursue his studies at St. Ignatius, and we all know that he has succeeded very well. It has been ru' mored about that Vinnie intends to enter the movies. 209 IGNATIUS PREP Du.ffe'y, John. 'l'here is no doubt that John is one of the mysteries of the '24 cllass and we have a sus- picion that he knows of and enjoys the privilege. Of course he is quiet, but then, still waters run deep and they get there. John has been a Iirst honor nian since he started at Ignatius and has not slaeked the pace these last few iuonths either, which is more than mont of us can say. And here 's hoping he keeps up the good work in later life. Duffy, David. R. O. T. C,, '18 and '19, Secretary Li- brary Association, '20, Glee Club, '22, '23, Cast of It Pays to Advertise. Despite his long list of activities, Dave 's chief call to fame is his two ycar's record as a cheer-leader. He was no ordinary soldier. He enjoyed the distinction of being a sergeant, then a lieutenant, and only recently war: called upon to lead a company of students who greeted Cardinal liundelein. Duffy, Leonard. Track, '2fL. Duif's ability to enter- tain a crowd by means of his facility at tickling the ivories gives him a. prominent place on our list ot' iuerry-niakers. Leonard was always the central Iigure of the belated smoking rooni crowd. He has garnered first honors without a break for four years. Duffy, Marvin. This big lad caine from Springhill College, Alabama. He made long acquaintances on short notice. It seems he would Ht in well anywhere except il sniall sized telephone booth. He acquired much skill in football down where it never snows, but could not display his ability because of short resi- dence at St. Ignatius. Dlmford, John M. Jack is a dyed in the Wool radio fan. In fact anything in science interests hini. VVhy shou1dn't it? He was one of the 'few who had the foresight to get a chemistry credit. VVell, those hand- some curly-headed blonde boys always did take everything by storm anyway, so what 's the use? 210 IGNATIUS PREP Dwyer, John. Johnny is the kind of a fellow that you would like to introduce to your sister but not to your best girl. Knows more about a Lizzie than Henry Ford. He always has a pleasant smile ready wherever you meet him. Johnny enjoys the study of Physics. He had the good fortune of taking Chem- istry last year. Eck, George. Football, '22 and '23, George spent his first two years at St. Cyril's High. He doesn't say so, but he is an all round fellow. Athletic and industrious-what more do you Want. He comes from Brookfield, the home of the well-known breakfast sausage, but when kidded about the town, George defends its fair name in an admirable manner. Elwood, Thomas. There is no denying that had Tommy been a little heavier the school athletics would have profited inhnitely more. Tom played on the bantam basketball team of '23, the light football teams of '22, '23, and the baseball team of '24, He has been one of the most popular of the graduating class and he will no doubt be equally successful in college and after. English, Michael. Valedictorian. One of the best of the class's leaders and athletes, a convincing talker and debater. Bantam basketball champs, '22, bantams, '23, lights, '24, debating team, '23, '24, business man- ager of the Prep, It Pays to Advertise and 'fThc Last Trick. Mike has shown a willing and :self- sacrificing spirit in his support of school interests and activities, and has done much towards making them successful. Ertz, Harry. Loyola Literary Society, '24, R. O. T. C. Harry's chief claim to fame is his eloquent voice, which can be heard at any hour during the day ex- cept at recess. He is quite adept at annoying teach- ers and has been the cause of many sleepless nights. He is a very likeable fellow, and We know that his cheerful smile and Winning personality will be misscil next year. Speaks German fluently, and performed creditably in the Loyola Literary Society. 211 IGNATIUS PREP Fitzgerald, William. Fitz is another one of those fellows that can be depended upon to witness every Ignatius contest. Although not an active participant, he is one of our most faithful rooters. In class he is dependable, particularly so in Greek. Jim is also a good sodalist. A Fitzpatrick, Frank. Elocution contest '22, '23, '24g Loyola Literary Society. Frank hails from the far west ffrom Austin, we meanj, and is proud of it. He has been known to frequent the great city west of his home, and therein has had many adventures. When at St. Ignatius he occupies himself by debating and arguing with Latin teachers. This latter practice has won him undying fame. As a member of the debating team of '23, '24, he has made himself popular with the students and faculty, who wish him luck in all his coming ventures. - - Fundarek, Stephen. Steve 's principal interest lies in radio, and nothing incenses him more than to show an indiiference towards this fad, tHe surely likes to have radio referred to as a fad.j He has quite a set at home, so he says, that is as near perfect as possible. Outside of this weakness, Steve is rational on most points, and gets along with teachers, students, studies, and athletics, without overtaxing himself too, much. Gomolski, Frank. Caszt of Let's GO and Royal Yellow. For four years the PREP staff has awarded- Frank a position on its All-Ignatius mythical team and this year was All-Senior full-back. He is especi- ally fond of dances and tea-parties and an athletic contest. A general in Let's Go. His future is probably the army. Grady, Joseph. Joe, we must admit, does most of his starring in the Latin class, where his wit and ques- tions attract much attention Csometimes, we must say, to his own chagrinj. But aside from that, Joe has proven to be a scholar of more than periodic inno- cence-and should turn in a high average. He is a fel- low who can be relied upon in an emergency. 212 IGNATIUS PREP Hannon, Edward. Ed has a pretty pair of gold medals hung up at home, also a bunch of little gold ribbons. He exhibits these on every occasion possible. Although Virgil has lost all terrors to Ed, he is still popular with his less fortunate and envious class- mates. A year of lightweight football in '22 was enough for Ed in an athletic way. He was on the Senior Prom committee. Hatton, George. George has acquired quite a reputa- tion this last year as an able performer on the cornetg but why shouldn't he be, playing with the orchestra for three years, '22, '23, '24. He has become popular with the teachers through an earnestness in study this year that we ean't remember in the past. How- ever, we are glad to say that this fact did not lessen the popularity that was his for four years among his fellow students. He. was also a member of a certain crowd that went on the Senior picnic. Henry, James. R. O. T. C., Football, Lights, '23, '2l. NVhen the junior football team was organized, Jim proved himself to be a flashy lightweight. He has a good sense of humor and is a good friend to all. The only thing We have against Jim is his tendency to rate the South Side above the West Side. Jim is one of the many seniors who wishes he studied Chem- istry. I-Iiler, John P. John is one of the famous two, but there are at least four in fourth year who claim they could pick him from a crowd and say, Sure, this is John. He played on the basketball team this year and was one of the reasons for the team finishing up near the top. He has always been a supporter of the class room athletics, and has played on every class team in all the sports. I-Iiler, William IP. Bill is known as the other one to most students at St. Ignatius and is identified by the laugh which he made famous. Recently bitten by the golf bug, he makes use of Jackson Park nightly, and the next day insists that you listen to the running story, play for play. There 's one in every class. Outside of that, he 's a likable fellow who made the Prep this year, and who played on the '23 football team. He also was a member of the light basketball team of '24. 9 .4 IGNATIUS PREP Hoberg, Joseph. Joe is one of those fellows that high school seems to be made for. He is universally liked, an athlete, and a topnotch scholar. His first step into the sport limelight was in '23 as guard on the bantam basketball team. He also played on the '24 bantams. For four years he has grabbed off first honors and shown that he is a student adept in all branches. During this last year he has blossomed forth as a poet and artist, and the PREP has certainly prohted by his ability. Hogan, Janves. Jim was always a member of his class teams, indoor, basketball, or whatever it hap- pened to be. After February and June exams he can always be found on the ancient Sodality Hall stage with a red honor ribbon decorating his manly chest. He intends to go to college next year. Hurtubise, Edward. Eddie was one of the best bas- ketball performers at St. Ignatius. A member of the heavyweight championship team of '23 and captain of the heavies of this year. Eddie was especially good when some of his North Side steadies came to see the game. He is a fine fellow and always Willing to help Qduring examsj. Jasinski, Andrew. When .Andy started to school here he was Ka model youth to look up to. But during the past year he has gone from bad to worse. He has caused no end of anxiety to unsuspecting profs. His chief characteristics are silence and diligence, but he dispenses with these While at school. But for all that, we like Andy, and he is included in our list of merry-makers. His future is jail or collegeg they zncan the same to him. Johnson, Walter. One of the most sincere in the '24 graduating class. He has won many friends in his stay at school and will leave many behind. Is especi- ally well known as a Spanish student, as the Senor can testify. Walter has done much for the school by his loyalty in its enterprises. Interested in elocution, and in the contest of '21, 214 IGNATIUS PREP Keating, John. R. O. T. C., PREP Stad, '23, '24, An- other husky youth Who started out to be a general but was soon fighting for the disbanding of the army. Jack is also quite a humorist as is seen from the ex- cellent dishes of Pot Pie he served us this year. Kelly, Edward. Football, '20, '21, '22, '23, Captain, '23, All-Catholic end, '23, Basketball, '23, '24, Track, '23, '2-lg Monogram Club. Eddie has such a variety of activities that it is needless to speak for him. Everybody realizes the prominent part he has played in school activities and this despite his lack of avoira dupois. May Ignatius sec more of his type. Kerrigan, Vincent. Vince, although not actively en- gaged in the athletics of the school, has followed its teams and backed the various activities of it as a student should. Quiet, but with a good word for everyone, Vince has gained many friends in the school that will stick in future years. He has a in el- coming smile for everyone which is the secret for making friends. Kilbride, Raymond. Ray has certainly shown by a deep interest in the school and its activities that he holds its progress much at heart. Ray broke into the athletic limelight as tackle on the light football team in '22, and though he has not represented the school during the last year he has played hard in every branch of class athletics. Klawiskoske, August. Loyola Literary Society, '23, '24. Has the honor of having for his first name the nanie of the month that follows July. He always was a little behind time, especially in the morning, how- ever, he is a very likeable fellow, a good student, and made quite a name for himself in the Literary S04 eictv. 215 IGNATIUS PREP l I I 2 Klimek, Erwin. Known for silence and for ability to studyg heiis a loyal student and a backer of all student activities. He holds the school record for never having missed a Latin recitation. VVears a sombre countenance to school only, and is a beau in his own neighborhood. Knight, John. It is neccessary to know John thor- oughly before you really understand him. The class has had this privilege and he is hailed as one of its most popular members. He used his athletic ability in basketball and baseball, basketball lights in '23, baseball, '23, '24, and also played in the orchestra in '2:2. His ability as pitcher greatly helped the baseball team on to the championship in '24, He participated in the Pageant of Youth. Krasniewski, Casimir. In spite having his name misspelled once out of every three times, Kras has be- come one of the best known and well liked fellows in the class, perhaps for that very reason. A good student and a firm supporter of the theory that knowledge comes from asking questions, has brought him to the front. We hope that he succeeds as well in the future as he has done in school. Kunka, Anthony. Tony, unlike others, has grown smaller, since entering St. Ignatius. We suspect that he has been taking lessons from the famous Mr. Wal- lace. It is rumored about school that he is often seen in the notorious music shop of Ted tsnyder. An, in- dustrious student and a loyal backer of school activi- ties. La.Fond, Charles. Scholarship and the R. O. T. C. Cl1arlie's hobby is playing pool, not to omit smoking tlittle devillj. Of course his interests are not all academic. He is in great demand at all the school hops and stands Mace high with all the fellows at school. 16 IGNATIUS PREP Lamb, John. Though he was absent from us for a time, he returned to graduate with the rest of his claws. A classic profile marks him from the rabble and has endeared him to his classmates. A straight fellow, a good student, and his ability as an athlete, has Won him the friendship and confidence of the class. In his work at school, John has always done well and should continue to do the same in times ahead. , Lane, James. Basketball, '24, Swimming, '24, Jim- mie despite the fact that he is a North Sider, is sitting pretty with the ladies on the West Side. He is one of the few who strove for St. Ignatius in aquatic events. He is well liked and popular at school, and in certain other schools for that matter. Lane, John. One of the class 's most advanced sheiks. Holds the interclass dance championshipg member of swimming, '24, and didnhis stuff in the Pageant of Youth., His winning personality and ready wit have won' him a host of friends and have proved him a real fellow. Jim has been a studious scholar in his four years here, and should have no trouble in getting ahead next year, whether it be in college or business. Lapka., John. R. O. T. C. Johnny spent his irst year in Our Army, but itinee it disbanded has been forced back into eivies and has been wearing them ever since. He has not partaken actively in athletics al- though he has shown his true Ignatius spirit by giving them his loyal and hearty support. Loef, John. The baker has long since been hailed as the class physicifet. He well deserves the title. For three years he answered honors without a break. And 11ot only that, but he proved himself to be quite an artist on the cinder path in '23. And John doesn't infest the Speedway nor does he smoke. IGNATIUS PREP Mahoney, John. Basketball, Flies, '21, Heavieiz, '24, Baseball, '23, '24, Monogram Club. John entered school as a puny youth but soon grew into budding manhood and took an active part in school activities. The Valentino of Catholic League basketball players, John drew moreigirls to the games than anyone else. Besides shining in baseball, John is also a good stu- dent and an industrious Worker. Maslon, Lafdislaus. We know that Laclislaus will suc- ceed as well in whatever he takes up in future years as he has done in the past four years here. He took part in The Last Trick and showed therein a theatric ability that he had not made use of in his Hrst three years at St. lgnatius. Mayr, Perry. Lightweight football captain, '22, Bas- ketball Qlightsj, '2-ig baseball, '23, '24, captain, '24, Monogram Club. Perry is retiring by nature, but it iloesn't do him very much good af: he is too well liked to sit very far. He is one of the main reasons for the championship baseball team this year and the success of the lightweight basketball team is largely clue to him. McAuliffe, Timothy. 'l'in1's humor has served to en- lighten many a dull journey with Virgil. A member in good standing of the T. N. T. fraternity, otherwise k.noWn as The 4A Hoodlums. He originated the famed 4A slogan, It's only just. Tim was seldom caught off guard when loosing his mischievous nature which speaks well for his four-year training. McCann, Bernard. Bernie is inimitable. His wit is unusual and strikingly original, as anyone who knows him can testify. Besides playing in the orches- tra in '23, '24, he was on the football squad and a member of the Glee Club. In his last three months here, he has been associated with an automobile and always insists that someone accompany him on his jaunts about the city. 218 IGNATIUS PREP McCarthy, Daniel J. Basketball, '23, '24, Baseball, '22, '23, '24, Football Manager, '23, Cast of It Pays to Advertise, Monogram Club. Though not robust in stature, Dannie is a distinguished athlete. Some time in 1923, Dannie broke an ankle from an overdose of dancing, or football managing Qwhich was it'?j At any rate it curtailed both activities. He has the honor of being the first student of St. Igna- tius to come to school on crutches. ' McEvoy, John. Mac spends half of his time at school, and the other half at the Chicago Theatre, where he ushers people to their seats. Little do the patrons of the theatre realize that the handsome red- head in front of them is a coming great, for he is one of the best students at S. I. A. John is also one of the class poets. Miller, Hartman. R. O. T. C., '21g Basketball Flies, '22, Bautams, '23, Lights, '24, Manager Lightweight Football Team, '23. Dutch has the distinction of advancing each year to a teani of greater weight and has had the misfortune of running second in the league race. Better chase the jinx, Dutch. He has a large circle of friends, but blushes furiously at the appearance of one of the fair sex. Moore, Robert. R. O. T. C. Bob is one of the hand- somest youths about the school. As early as first year he proved he was not merely a ladies' man by enlist- ing in the fighting R. O. T. C. However, his military advancement was interrupted the next year when the student army disbanded. Sodality consultor, '22, Cast of The Last Trick. Mor:-md. Norman. Football, '21, '22, Baseball, '22, '23g Tennis QCaptainj, '24, Monogram Club. Although Dago was not inclined toward taking actual part in football this year, he lent Mr. Ewing a helping hand with the lights, and refused any compensation for his services. He has infested the tennis lynx regularly, and is largely responsible for the marvelous team of '24. 219 V i L, IGNATIUS PREP 22 Nash, John. Football, '23, Basketball, '24, Cast of It Pays to Advertise, Monogram Club. John is one of the most popular of the fourth year students. Never too busy to say hello, ,He belongs to the dignified set and has shown many a Freshman how to carry himself. An athlete, and actor also. Palubicki, George. R. O. T4 C., 21g Basketball, '23, '24, Bantamsg Lights. HPal is a versatile athlete. He can perform at any weight with rare ability. An important cog in this year's bantamweight champion'- ship team and also a great help to the second place lightweight team. ' Pierce, Thomas Francis. Tommy possesses a small frame, but a large mind and heart. Though not ath- letieally inclined, Tom is a reliable backer of school activities, and his presence graces the ,scene of every school combat. , Pribyl, Eugene. Is the pride and delight of-'the Span: ish professor. Gene has succeeded in the last four years in making himself one of the best liked fellowfz in the school. His timely wit has saved himself from many an embarrassing position in a certain class, when stii argumentation was required. Besides helping the '23 bantams on to many a win, he played on the lights of' 24. He's a fellow and friend who 'S always ready to help. - ' Raday, Walter. Glee Club, '22, cast of Royal Yel- lowl' and Pageant of Youth. Walter has not played on representative school tea111s, but class ath- letics could not get along ,without him. When he steps up to the bat the fielders instinctively move back to the wall. ' IGNATIUS PREP Rotchford, William. Football, '23, '24, Cast of The Royal Yellow. Bill was always well known and equally Well liked, but he gained immortal fame by the marked ability he displayed during his short foot- ball career. He recently broke into social circles, and has a host of Chinese friends at a certain chop-shop at Madison Street and Austin Avenue. Russell, Lawrence. Baseball, '23-'24, Orchestra. Larry has made quite a name for himself as a pitcher and as a first string violinist in Professor Salvadore's Discord Kings. VVe predict a bright future for Larry, for he is lit to join either the White Sox or Bens0n's Orchestra. Russell, Willialn. Cast of The Royal Yellow, and The Last Trick. Not an athlete, but a creditable actor as he proved by his performance in school plays, and particularly in The Last Trick. It is authori- tivcly rumored about that the ladies are quite fond of Bill. Well we ean't say that they lack good judgment. Ryan, John. Lightweight Football, '23, John is one of our best class humorists, and is quite adept at annoying teachers. His favorite hobby is a Robey Street car. He is also well known for his ability at knocking the ivories around. Segrue, James. Jim's history dates back to 1921, when the lure of the army brought him to the ranks of the R. O. T. C. The veterans from that famous division disappear at graduation, and Jimmie is rightly p-roud of the record he made there. He also boasts of a flock of ribbons and a gold medal won in third year. Jim and his Black Gold have been a great aid to his class mates and the same do hereby thank him and it. Jim also broke into the limelight in the Pageant of Youth and it is known that he has not missed a school athletic contest in two years. 221 IGNATIUS PREP 222 Shea, Edward. Basketball Lights '23, Sodality con- sultor, '23-'23, Ed is a rather quiet and modest fellow, but those who know him well appreciate his worth. He is a democratic chap though, is friendly to every- one, and is always ready with a smile. Furthermore he is quite prominent in Sodality circles, and is a basketball player of fair ability. Sirovatka, Frank. Frank, though prone to slumber, is a very reliable Spanish student with whom Pro- fessor Sulvaclore loves to argue. Beside clearing up two years of mechanical drawingin his fourth year, Frank has distinguished himself by his interest in his studies. Outside of school, he thinks, talkr and lives radio. Sta.I1gWi10, Benedict. t'Bennie has the honor of having a name resembling those used by Bill Shake- speare in his Merchant of Venice. Bennie is think- ing of organizing a company of his own, and re- enaeting seine of that author's famous plays, with Caliendo and a few others. Bennie'.1 chief activity at school is his studies. Walczak, John. R. O. T. C. Prep artist. He is a nice quiet fellow. John eoul dnot resist the call of the soldier's life when he entered St. Ignatius so he 'joined the fighting R. O. T. C., but after a year re- tired with the other veterans to pursue the remainder of his course diligently. Waldron, John James. R. O. T. C. When Red was not in class he could be found behind the lunchrooni counter selling three caramels for a niekle and eating the other two himself. After doing business with Ignatius students for four years, Red should be able to tackle any sort of a job. 1 IGNATIU PREP Wall, John. Cast of 't'Fhe Last Trick. Jack be- came quite an actor this year and made a big hit with the audience at the Aryan Grotto, April 28 last. Jack, in dramatic performances has a leaning toward carrying concealed weapons, which he drops at thc wrong intervals. He is also a prominent figure in South Side circles. After graduation, Jack expects to go down to Springield and help out by being Gov- ernor. Walsh, William Patrick. Debator, '23-'24, Oratorical Contest, '24, Here we have the most mischievious lad in school. Always up to something. Despite this, his scholastic standing is equalled in only a few ins stances. As an orator he is attempting to displace Mark Antony with the latter's speeches. He is always ready to get into an argument and can generally out last an opponent. But we will all be sorry to see Pat leave. Weigel, Charles. Royal Yellow , Glee Club, '23, '2-lg Library, '24, Charley, the big boy of fourth year, came to us from Oak Park as a sophomore. At the village school he had been prominent on the track, but he chose to develop his vocal talents at St. Igna- tius. He has also amazed many of us with his mechanical and scientific knowledge. Wingerter, Lawrence. Prep Staff, '24. This lad has had a short stay at St. Ignatius, but it has been fraught with interest. He hails from Virginia, where Washington, and a few others of Larry 's caliber made their homes. His noisy apparel brought him much re- nown and he not uncommonly climaxed this snappy outfit with a wing collar. And as a poet he takes a back seat to none. Zerkel, Paul. Paul showed good judgment when he confiscated a seat in the back of the room. It makes :study more unnecessary. He has an envious list of honors but is best known as one of the few who buy their ow11 smokes. And he never turns down a cadger. U 22.1 IGNATIUS PREP At Parting By Myron Burrill '24 Farewell, Alma Mater! Thy loving sons bid sad adieu As they depart to meet the new Mysterious novelties of life, With all the peril and the strife That greet an inexperienced youth As forth he ventures. But forsooth, Thy words of wisdom shall abide With us as strength when we are tried. For in thy hallowed halls we've learned That when our weary hearts have yearned Success and in its stead defeat In all our fondest hopes we meet, Then might success be hundredfold. P For our defeat, so we are told, May serve as well as victory To shake the soul and thus set free The glory of it. For the grief In having failed, brings but relief So much the sweeter when our fate A better fortune shall dictate. Nor can we taste of vietoryis gloss As fully when we've had no loss, Nor had with our prosperity A bit of Fate's adversity. Perhaps we need this bitter drop Within Life 's too alluring cup. Indeed, with each sweet scented rose A stem with thorny thistles grows! Since pain is th' open door to bliss A real blessing, then, isthis. For know, ifgFortuD6 Dlayithw fH!S0, Whom now shefsinks, she now exalts! Life out of Death,', is heaven's law, From which we can sweet comfort draw. From storms that sweep the human soul, Comes forth the calm of self-control. Maturer Manhood is at hand, More serious thought shall it demand. For cold and calculating cares Must never meet us unawares. Nor must a cross from heaven sent, Breed in our hearts a discontent, But when there's work that must be done, With all our strength let us press on , l l To mount the seeming obstacle Of glorious triumph over work, NVhieh we in duty would not shirk. Faint not! for-to the steadfast soul VVho struggling on can reach the goal And win the prize and wear the crown, Come lasting honor and renown! Nor pause to dream of future things ,klSut deal with what the present brings, As waves make toward the pebbled shore Each minute, as the one before, In sequence hastens to its end. Shall we with Timc's swift pace contend? Or shall we let the hours drift by NVithout a thought? without a sigh? VVait not until tomorrow 's sun To do the work that should be done. Employ time well while yet you may, Too soon does night succeed the day, And always bear this well in mind: The watermill will never grind Again with water that is past. This proverb with its meaning vast Each one should take within his heart And never with its warning part! This is the lesson thou has taught- That all our actions may be wrought VVith learned wisdom, shrewd and sage, That only comes with ripened age. And so from out thy guarding wing, XVith firm, determined tread we swing Into the waiting world 's embrace, And also join the eternal race Of man against his fellow man. But as in later days we scan The years gone by, we 'll love to gaze VVith joy on scenes of early days. A backward glance to thee we'll throw Of fond affection, just to show That this attachment to the school IVherein we first learned life's strict rule Maintains its hold with such a sway We 'll feel it at our latest day, ' E'en when we've reached the final stage Of this our mortal. pilgrimage. IGNATIUS PREP f' e A4 4 'g L w i . lllllllllllll Drawing by Jos. M. YValczak, YZ! ' I PROLOGUE Backzt'urd, turn baclfward, 0 Time in your fiighi! ' Make me tt child again, jus! for tonight. Our happy days at St. Ignatius are gone but not forgotten. I say Hhappy days because for the most part they were days of happiness, although we also had a goodly sharesof days ,of tears, days of downheartedness, days of Worry. A little less than four years ago, the majority of us first cast eyes on our Alma Mater and -walked around the building filled with awe and thrilled with expcctationy Time flew by and we found ourselves moving into the second year classrooms. About this time we began to re- alize that the world was a trifle larger than we had estimated it to be. It no longer merely consisted of parents, teachers, classmates and ourselves. VW now wore shirts with detach- able collars instead of 'fwaistsf' Still Father Time was always a jump ahead of us. VVe suddenly realized that we had passed the half-way mark of high school and were wise Juniors. XVe now found out that there was another class of people in the world outside of men, women and boys-GIRLs. And for hm' we no longer bit our linger nails, used Staeomb continually, borrowed a little of Sis- t'er's Eau de Quinine now and then and came to the end of our rope by spending fifteen cents a day for a little package labeled' 'tCamcly' and five cents for a package of Sen Sen for-well. 2 LA55 EHEEY I s iitwlllilind. IMI? Vila? gentle reader, I guess you know. Some of us worked the sunnner intervening and saw the world through an office window. VVe found ourselves in our Senior Year. XVere we conceited? I suppose so. We didn't take books home any more and consequently had to dodge the Prefeet morning and night. Somehow we were enlightened by heaven and survived the exams. Oh, yes! I almost forgot. How proudly we displayed our class rings to the ttShebas. CAnd quite a few of us gave them away.j Then we paid 'ffive bucksn for our 'fsheep-skinsu which were handed to us on graduation night. And after that night-we drifted far and wide. There comes a tear to my eye when I say: HVVe drifted far and widef' VVould that the Fates had been kind enough to keep us together, but-e 19- After a hard day's work at my business, I sank wearily into my bed to snatch a few hours of needed sleep. Before I fell into deep slum- ber I wondered what my old classmates of '24 were doing and breathed a wish that I might see how they fared in the world. But I was tired, physically and mentally. My eyelids grew heavier and heavier. I sank- I felt a light touch on my forehead, a touch like the warm breeze of a quiet summer night, which, nevertheless, awakened me. I slowly sat upright in bed and blinked my eyes. I was 25 IGNATIUS PREP somewliat bli11ded by the bright sunlight stream- Illg through a hall'-opened wi11dow of 111y room. XYhen 111y eyes beeznne ZICCIISIOIIICLI to Illt' i11- tense brightness I saw to 111y complete surprise, a mere slip ol' a girl standing at my bedside.

Slowly winding its way in Qllltl out ol' trattir, down the main street ol' San Antonio I saw El tuneral proeession. A silver sign Oil the hearse bore these letters: J.x3I11s A. Cixssmv. And sitting beside tl1e driver ol' the hearse was JIM CASSIIDY, a man who still is i11 ttTip Top l'OI'1ll.

On a ferryboat plying between lios Angeles and Catalina Island I saw VVAIITEIQ A. JOHN- SON, chief engineer of the vessel. This was the day of an exhibition game be- tween the Chicago Cubs and the Los Angeles Hubs. JACK XVALL was calling balls and strikes. Ill the uniform of the Cubs I recognized Piteher IGNATIUS PREP PERRY ll'lAYR and Catcher JOHN MAHONEY. With the Hubs was ED IIURTUBISE, substitute. Selling peanuts in the stands was JOE MAHO- NEY. I saw JOHN IIOEF, now a baker with lots of Hdoughf' purchasing a bag of peanuts. I was carried to Hollywood. And who, to my dismay, did I see, surrounded by beautiful but JIM SEGRUE, the Shiek the Greatest Actor of the movie actresses, of Hollywood, Silent Drama. I flew high Sierra Nevada and Cascade Mountains until I reached the University of NVashington. I was surely surprised to see FRANK GOMOLSKI, Ph.D., over the highest tops of the lil.. D., lecturing to a psychology class. In a.n- other part of the building JOE GRADY was throwing black coal into a red furnace. I went North a few miles into the Dominion III Vancouver a sky-scraper loomed great. sign on the top bearing these . . , , of Canada. up, with a words : . 3 THE HILER HOTEII JOHN 8: XVILLIAM HILER, PROPS. Still North my Hplanel' and I went. I be- lieve we were at the North Pole. I noticed an igloo far below me. As I came nearer I saw that it contained a group of men. Among them I easily recalled JIM HENRY, first officer of the SS. Bearcat, chartered for exploration in the North. The ship was fast in the ice fifty miles to the South-East. From out of the cold came a man. He removed his fur cap and I perceived JIM IIOGAN, one of the crew of the Bearcat. As near as I could judge I was being carried South toward the headwaters of the Hudson Bay. At the head of the Bay, two horsemen, clad in the scarlet of the Royal North VVest Mounted Police, attracted my attention. They turned out to be GEORGE HAT1'0N and BILL SHEA, Inspectors, R. N. XV. M. P. Upon our leaving Hudson Bay, my fairy com- panion vanished into thin air. I was alone on the magic carpet. My 'fsteedl' dove rapidly through the thick black smoke clouds over New York. The carpet glided along, keeping abreast of an L train. CIIARLEs CRANE sat with one grizzled hand on the controller, the other on thc air brake. Passing the New York Theatre I heard the full, ringing voice of ART BURKE, the leading tenor of the Metropolitan Opera Com- pany. VVe sped to VVashington. Opposite the Capitol Building was an im- mense billboard bearing these wo1'ds: ,- BIYRRILII, CLOONAN Sa ENGLISH I YOUR PIcRsONAL IIAXVYISRS. Alld then l saw the three heroes of the St. Ig- natius rostruni walk by, 2ll'IH in arm and gaze in fond rapture at the sign. I took a parting glance at them as I. shot along on the heels of the winds. I followed the Atlantic shore line South, with the speed ol' a gale, and arrived at Palm Beach. On the golt' links ol' his private estate, I saw a face well known to mc. lt was JOE CALIENDO, Inillionaire spagetti king, wintering in Florida. We glided over to the island of Cuba, the rendezvous of thirsty Americans., The carpet hovered over a distillery and 011 every available space were these words: l'oNnoN lJisTn.LERv Co. The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico frol- iccd below me. I passed quickly over the levees of New Orleans. As l was carried up one street and down, another I noticed many billboards bearing the names of .I.-,Mus and -IOIIN LANE, and advertising, The Greatest Slack VVire Art- ists in the VVorld. And all of these signs had a smaller sign on the top which read: IJADISLAITS ll l.ASLON THE UI.'TDOOR ADVERTISING AIAN In the New Orleans Hospital Or. JOHN B. LAPKA, the famous nerve specialist, was per- forming an operation on DAN IXIOCARTHY, the tobacco king. Dr. TIM lll.CAIILlFFE was the anesthetizer. The carpet swept over the waves of the storm- tossed Atlantic. On the bridge of the S.S. Queen of the Seas stood Captain BILL ROTCH- FORD, and at his side, with the insignia of first ofhccr, was ED COONEY. Down in the dark, black hold JOHN RYAN handled a Hmean shovel. In one of the first-class cabins slept LAWRENCE RITSSELL, first violinist of the Chi- cago Symphony Orchestra, returning from an 927 IGNATIUS PREP Iiuropean tour. And in one ol' the sailor-'s bunks was XVIIJJXM Ilvrnicfk XVALSH. Once in London, I was transported to the Arena.

There on the stage, I easily recognized IMN I-IONOHIIIC, doubling for the villain in H'l'lie Vilild Irish. I was whisked to Paris to the Cate Ameri- canique. Amid the darkness and rain, a large electric sign stood out in the sky as a light-ship stands out on the ocean. The letters formed these words: I30XYNliY'S Ftxiwovs AMERIMN ORcHEs'r1m. I heard music.

At 15 Rue D'Noise, in the musicians, colony, I noticed this sign: M. JEAN McAvo1 LESSONS AT ALL HOURS. I was surprised to learn from the conversa- tion of two Apaches that ARTHUR MCGINTY had been newly appointed Commissionaire of Police. But my greatest surprise was at the Noir Cafe, where I saw on the stage my old friend HART- MANN MIIJLER, dancing in a Russian ballet. From Paris I flew to the Principality of Monte Carlo, whose prince is N. PAUL BIORAND. Grouped around a roulette wheel were Bon MOORE, the famous sculptor, GENE PRIBYL, the iron magnate, and NVALTER RADAY, president of the P. L. Z. 85 W. R. Ri. Outside, leaning against one of the pillars which support the massive building, was PAUL ZERKEL. He ap- peared to have been losing heavily at the wheel, I do not recollect crossing the Atlantic, nor arriving again in the Il. S., but I suddenly found myself in Cleveland, Ohio, and looking into the directors, room of the Cleveland State Bank. In the president's chair sat ALOYSIUS BREEN. Wfalking slowly down a dimly-lighted street of Detroit, Michigan, I saw CHARLES BARTLETT of Prep fame. In his right hand he carried a roll of paper. On the top sheet I perceived these words: LIFE AND VVORKS OF EUGENE O,NlCILL BY CHARLES BARTLETT. His attire had seen better days, but the life of a dramatic critic is hard. I was carried across Lake Michigan to thc Cream City. There I saw a very large po- liceman waddling after a howling mob of street urchins. The arm of the law suddenly stopped, took an immense blue bandana handkerchief from his gun-packet, and mopped his brow. The carpet bearing me now moved along the street level. And then I recognized TOM AHEARN. The shore line of Lake Michigan was below me. I realized now that I was in the fashion- IGNATIUS PREP able North Shore district on the outskirts of Chicago. In a palatial residence, seated in an overstuffed divan was JOHN DIINEORD, single, fat fhorribly fatj, and gouty, living off the in- terest of his many investments. The carpet carried me from the mansion to a small, dark tailor shop in Evanston. There, perched on a table, legs crossed beneath him, tailor-fashion, sat JOHN DWYER. His shop had all the appearances of poverty, but parked out- side the door I saw a Lincoln sedan with the monogram: J. J. D. on the door. Leaving Evanston the carpet and I floated due South-west until we came to a small town. I easily recognized the town from familiar land- marks. The carpet descended near the Village Hall, and to my utter consternation I felt my- self passing through real brick walls. I looked around and saw a sign hung on a door: MAYOR GEORGE EOK BROOKEIELD, ILL. At that moment there entered the mayor 's office the familiar figure of HARRY DUEE ERTz attired in a blue suit with big, shiny, brass buttons on it. We hopped across Illinois to Davenport, Iowa. Seated amid the din and rattle of clum- bersome printing machinery was PAUL ED- WARDS, editor of the Davenport Aristocrat. I was borne back into Illinois again. In the state penitentiary at Joliet I noticed TOM EL- WOOD and TONY FITZGERALD walking the walls with rifles on their shoulders. In the warden's office was JOE FUNDAREK. Before I left Joliet P' s ,Ev by 0? A is E' Drawing by Jos. M. Walczak, '24 I encountered FRANK FITZPATR-ICK in a White suit. He was a City Collector CTU. I recognized Chicago by the VVrigley Build- ing. And as I drew near I noticed FRANK SIROVOTKA and BEN STANGXVILO, steeple jacks, manicuring the hands of the clock. I was in the vicinity of Blue Island and 12th. It must have been after school because a crowd of boys stood around the corner smoking Milo's UID. A 12th street car going IVest stopped at Blue Island. The motorman I recognized as IIIARVIN IJUFFY. In the St. Ignatius building, seated in a classroom before a group of smiling-faced youngsters, I recognized Fr. FRANK BUTLER, S. J., clothed in the black robe of a Jesuit, his biretta perched perilously on the back oft-his head. In another part of the building .LEO .ABRAHAM was serving in the capacity of fstew- ard. On the campus a squad of raw recruits were being made over into football heroes by FRANK IIICGINNIS. Back in the old town once more I wandered about a bit. I observed BILL RUssEI.L, ahard- working carpenter, employed by the EDWARD HANNON CONTRACTING CO. In the City Hall AUGUST KLAYVIIQOXVSKE was operating an eleva- tor. A huge, imposing-looking man stepped out of the mayoris office and into. the elevator. Good morning, Alderman MCCANN, said the elevator boy. JOHN NASH was directing traffic at State and Madison Sts. In Marshall Field's Store for Men I saw VINC DUCEY, still small and wearing glasses. He was purchasing a Tuxedo and was getting the personal attention of the floorwalker, ED IILIMEK. At St. Patrick's High School JOE WIALCZAK was teaching German. JOHN WALDRON was in the general offices of the Waldron Lunch Rooms. LAVVRENCE WINGERTER was at the editor's desk of the Chicago Lorgnette. CHARLIE WEIGEL,. president of the Central Pharmacy Co., was experimenting in his laboratory. I felt the presence of the fairy on the carpet again. I also felt that my journey was at an end as I had seen all of the old class. Forget- ting the warning of the fairy I turned to her and said: HOW can I thank-- The fairy and magic carpet disappeared, leaving me without any means of support. Down, down, head over heels, heels over head, I fell. Nearer, nearer and still nearer was the ground, coming to meet me. I cannot remem- ber more. I lost consciousness. 229 I IGNATIUS PREP I came tot' on the floor of my room. The bright sunshine was streaming through a half- opened window, which I know was closed the night before. Had I been asleep? IIad I been dreaming? I was unable to tell. But ilf I dreamt or if I saw the reality, I care not, providing my old friends, are happy with their lot. Tiddlevvickas Manuscript By Edmund Cloonan, '24 F-Q5 IDDLEVVICK, the younger brother of the Earl of Dounleigh, had al- most finished his classic. He was convinced that it was the novel of the age, yea of the ages. But the blooming thick-headed publishers couldn't ap- preciate it. From one house to the other had he gone, but with no success. The last bolt had been shot this afternoon when he went to Jerry Tolliver, who had ehummed with Tiddlc- wick at school, and who had since then in- herited his father's publishing house. Even old Jerry side-stepped and would publish it only if Tiddlewick would guarantee the cost. Jerry's word was, f'It's not what the people want. Tiddlewick managed to avoid the landlady on his way in. VVith her, too, it was money, money. Money, the curse of art. True artists vi up 3.5 F55 .

If his landlady kept her threat, thought 'Fiddle- wick, he, too, would be languishing in a garret. Money--why, the world actually wanted to be paid for accepting what he had written for its uplift. But if the world must be ignoble, Tiddlewick would be noble. His work would be published. Simultaneously with this determination there came a knock at Tiddlewick's door. If it was the landlady or that shamelessly insistent fel- low from the tailor's, he'd tell the grasping leeches what. He opened the door, and in strode, with all his titular dignity, the Earl of Dounleigh, Tiddlewick's brother. His lord- ship discarded his hat, coat and stick, and established himself in Tiddlewiekls best chair. Tiddlewick's anger was steadily rising. Five years before his father had died, and of course Chauncey, the elder of the two sons, inherited the title and the ancestral mansion, while to Tiddlewiek had been left only a great deal of senseless bric-a-brac. He had taken a few of these things with him to his present lodg- ings. One of these was a small wooden chest, exquisitely carved, which Tiddlewick, rather irreverently, had been using as a tobacco box. It might have been, when first formed, a lady 's jewel case. For the last time, began the Earl, will you work? My work, answered Tiddlewick defiantly, is the cnlightment of-H Enlightenment, bah! Now, you idiotic clown, I'll do a little enlightenment myself.

VVell, ah-, you see, Chauncey, Jerry Tolli- ver promises to publish my, ah, book il' I sue- ceeded in raising enough, ah, eash, to guaran- tee- To guarantee him against the loss which would be certain if he ever handled that sorry trash.

Not a farthing will I advance to you until you do something worth while and give up that in- tellectual rot and what not. Tiddlewick was trying to shake out the last crumb of tobacco from the little woodchest, and at these words he let the box slip from his hand and fall to the iioor. NVhen he picked it up the bottom hung by one fastening, it was a double bottom and between the upper and the lower deck something was wedged. He withdrew a very old piece of parchment whose characters were quite faded. Tiddlewick looked at it cursorily and tossed it on the table. The Earl noticed it but said nothing. After again emphatically stating that pleas for assistance 230 A new interest in the IGNATIUS PREP were useless, Chauueey pieked up his things and left the house. When his brother had gone Tiddlewiek again looked at the manuscript whieh he had found. It was quite legible. wiek gathered from certain noble quite reigning king.

So, sitting himself down. he wrote a erisp letter to the liarl, informing him ot the eon- tents ol' the manuscript whieh he had found and how he purposed to use it. ending up with these words: In this way l hope to obtain sufficient funds to publish my worthier work independently ol' you.

Chauneey, on the strength of his tile, had won an American heir- ess, and Tiddlewiek knew that in these days of easy divorces, he eould not risk losing the prestige and the dignity which adhered to the Earldom of Dounleigh. His smug, self-satisfied Lordship might soon find his smugness in danger of being disturbed. Just beeause he happened to be born a year or two before Tiddlewiek and as a eonsequenee held the title, he assumed the position of master towards the slave in dealing with his brother. That was the way with all the titled aristoerats. lint wouldn't the manuscript, if Tiddlewiek ehose to use it, put a crimp in some of them! hVhat a foundation for a satirieal ex- pose of the nobility!

And last night in the joy ot aeeomplishment when his novel was finished he had daneed a jig, and taking all the waste paper on his desk he had east it into the tire, and unwittingly he had thrown the manuscript in with the rest of the papers. The bubble was burst! lint the note whieh he had posted made the lluke eoine to terms. This time he 'phoned. He was not the least bit unbent.

Y . - tion concerning the paraphrases in this article. Style changes always. in writing as well as in dress, and today finds us with authors who'-ie methods of writing are as clearly contrasted to those of literary lights one hundred years ago as are the bobbed and shingled heads of modern girls to the elaborate coiffures of their great-grandmothers. The semi-formal style of liainb, although con- sidered familiar enough in its day, is strange and at first forbidding to the modern reader accustomed to writers who not only call a spade a spade but play the game with cards drawn wholly from that suit. NVe have here endea- vored to contrast in a humorous way the differ- ent styles ot' three leading present day authors with the style of Charles liamb. First we have taken Gilbert Chesterion whose stories generally begin where all good tales end and Work backward. This is how he might write of the burnt pig episode: 4'It would not be altogether incorrect to say that because a boy in China licked his fingers one day he gave the world its iirst knowledge of roast pig. Neither are we speaking a false- hood if we should tell you that the burning of a boy 's .fingers introduced the famous dish. Nor does it detract from our reputation for Verity if we declare that roast pig was first roasted in a burning house. For all of these things eon- tributed to the origin of roast pig. p not our purpose to tax the with a wordy repetition of Bo-Bo in all its details, but Enough. It is readerts patience the negligence of we wish rather to relate only so much of the story as is needed to show the differences of style. The second medium selected is Eugene O'Neil, the playwright, who first penetrated the maze of puritanieal euphemisms and revealed our fighting words in all the ruggedness ot American profanity.

'BJ IGNATIUS PREP HOT PIG - A BURNING DRAMA IN ONE Aer SCENE I. The charred ruins of a house. Here and there in the smoulelering debris may be dis- cerned the hideously scarred bodies of roasted pigs. From off stage is heard the squealing of a myriad of pigs which continues in a piteous crescendo throughout the play. A boy, Bo-Bo, enters, clad in the kimona- sleeved jacket and brightly colored knickers of the Chinese navy. He is busily engaged cooling two badly burned yingers in his mouth. As the pain leaves he discovers that the fingers are coated with a pleasant tasting stuff. He stares about, a look of pleasure coming over his face. He speaks. 'Bo-Bo: This-stuff tastes-good. . . . these . . . . fingers! Fire makes things go. Thatls me. I'm tire. Yousc don't tit. tHe rushes into the ruins, seizes a pig and with a bestial smirk sinks his teeth deep into the flesh. Too full for utterance, he sways dizeily for a mo- ment and then crashes to the stage amid a shower of sparksj CURTAIN Lastly we have chosen Sherwood Anderson, but recently toppled from his throne as Ameri- ea's foremost realist. His stories are impres- sionistic, dealing with oodles of complexes and told in a brutally frank way. They come Uout of nowhere and into here and depart just as strangely. VVith characteristic ingenuity he castsgaside the original setting and action to tell the story in his own way. Ile had always been a moody fellow ever since I first met himl For years he had kept a butcher shop in the black belt ot' Chicago. He had a hobby for collecting and mounting pigs' feet. One day we were walking through a pleasantly wooded bit of country when we ran across a herd of pigs. My friend suddenly stopped and I noticed with surprise that ,great beads of sweat stood upon his forehead and his hand trembled as he opened a box of matches, He began to light these with great rapidity a.nd fling them at the pigs. Then I understood. For his soul was in his eyes and I saw that he had a passion tor roast pig. Thus he ends, at the jumping off place, with startling abruptness. Now that we have considered these varying styles we wonder whether modern literature is going forwards or backwards. It is a.n old question and affords interesting speculation, but how much easier is it to say 'tDe gustibus non est disputandumf' It sounds lazy, but in the matter oi' style it. gbts you about as far as you ever will go.

The books of these authors have been read not J. English, '27 only by Catholic boys, but by boys of every other creed as well. Fathers Finn and Spauld- ing, in particular, command almost as large an audience as Nick Carter and Frank Merriwell, which is saying a great deal. But the works of Copus, Garrold and Egan no longer appear before the public formerly. The first two have been dead for several years, and Maurice Francis Egan passed away but a few months ago. As for Father Finn and 234 IGNATIUS PREP Spaulding, though they still write and eommand the aforementioned large audienee, yet their best years, as far as boys' books are eoneerned, are behind them. Father Finn will never again write the equal olf Tom Playl'air,7' Percy XYynn, and 'tllarry Dee, any more than Father Spaulding will approaeh The Cave by the Beeeh Forkfl and '4The Marks of the Bears f'laws.7' VVho will sueeeed the l'ast-disappearing HOld Guard? In the last few years several newer writers have entered the lists to ehallenge the supremaey of these pristine favorites. All of them show abundant promise, but as it would be obviously impossible to treat of all in ou1' limited spar-e, we have attempted to review and eritieize the foremost three, Fathers Holland, Boyton, and Gross, from a strietly juvenile viewpoint. The Books of Robert Ef Holland, S. J. Father llolland was born in Olympia, Vllash., on the twentyrfirst of February, 15192. As a boy. he was espeeially profieient in ltlnglish eomposition. He advises any lad who wishes to be a writer to take great pains with his elas-5 exereises in linglish and to seek frequent ad- viee from his teaehers to what he should read. Ile spent two years in the publie sehools ol' Washington, ll. lf., where he was raised, and then was transfered to a Grammar Sehool, pref paratory to Gonzaga College High Sehool. After graduating from Gonzaga, he entered the Soeiety ot' Jesus. After the preliminary edurse ol' study, he taught for live years at Boston Uollege High Sehool, the f'Botolph Highw ol' his stories. In 1917 or '18, he first. eoneeived the plot ol' Reardon Rabi' lt was prelim- inarily titled the Diffieulties of Dan but when it was about halt' finished, he was so dissatisfied that he tossed it into a. trunk, where it remained for a few years. He finally dec-ided. however. to eomplete it in the hope that its message would do some good. 'Phe book was highly praised by Father Finn. and this faet, eoupled with the urging of the publishers, prompted him to follow with 4'lJan's Best Enemy. He is beginning work on the thi1'd and last book ol' the series now, while still a fourth is to run serially in the f'Sunday i'ompanion, begin- ning September. His purpose in writing these books, is to provide wholesome amusement, and at the same time, instil salutary lessons. - Father Holland is not entirely idealistie in method, for he believes in realistic' portrayal of Ricv. ROBEIUI' E. IIOLLAND, S. J. Courtesy of Baltimore Futhollic Rt'1 lif?lU eharaeter. Ile realizes that the shame is not in weakness, but in refusal to overeome it, and so he does not hesitate to bring out a character aeeording to his true lights. Father Holland 's first book, Reardon Rahlu was published in 1923. Dan's Best Enemy, which is still Hhot from the pressf' forms a sequel to the tirst story. Both of the books have for a hero Dan Reardon, although in the second that role is split with Dan's ehum. The stories eoneern themselves with the moulding of the eharac-ters ol' the heroes. lt is a moral tale, with mueh the same idea usually found in fFather Finn's booksg and as Sueh it is inter- 235 4 IGNATIUS PREP esting and fairly plausible, the lesson taught is timely and to the point and well worth medi- tating upon. But it seems to me that his stories move too most exciting times, where a slowly, at the quickly moving style is most essential, they are He strives too hard for detail and the effort becomes noticeable. Another imistake, which has been made by writers innumerable, with no realization of its seriousness, is that of writing in a patronizing manner, i. e., writing down to the reader. This fault has never, I think, received the attention it merits. Many writers seem never to have heard of it, and it has ruined many an other- wise good story. Think of t'Treasure Islandzn the direct, brisk style accounts for much of its almost sluggish. sueccs:-4. More substantial plots would greatly improve Father Holland's stories. The present ones, I think, are pretty much too scanty to satisfy the reader. On the whole, Father Holland shows a very acute knowledge of boys, but at times he seems to misjudge their abilities. For instance, the following composition ol' a 'telass leader re- ceived unqualified approval: UI am autumn and I am almost dead. I used to be called Summer, but an old fiend of a devil made me drink a poison glass ot' wine, and it made me sick. I began to kind of dry up and wither, like. My green leaves began to turn yellow at first, and then kind of brownish. And now they began to drop off by the million. I'm a dying maiden. I see VVinter's long white caravan approaching in the dim, distant daze of death drawing down. Before I die l'm go- ing to say a prayer. I pray that all you human beings who see me dying now, wen't ever be so foolish I was, don't ever let any hiendish devil poison your beauty like mine wasf' The composition shows imagination, but I think the vocabulary used, and the theme-struc- ture is not up to the standard of the class leader, and therefore not deserving the unquali' tied approval which it received. Laterin the book, the author of that compo- sition, who is the co-star with Dan Reardon, quits school, falls in with a gang of rowdies, 23 and becomes one of them. I don 't think his character in the parts of the book which de- scribe his associations with the gangsters, is in keeping with the character portrayed in the beginning. The Books of Neil Boybon, S. J. Father Boyton has been a missionary in India for several years, and so knows the country which provides the background for the plot of Cobra Island. The author was born on November 30, 1884, in New York. He attended St. Xavierls High School in his native city and for college at- tended Holy Cross. He resided at one time in Chicago. VVhen I lived in Chicago as a little kid,H he wrote to us, 1 attended St. Ignatius. It was in '97 and '98 I was very late to school the morning the lf. S. S. Zlluine was blown up. Father Boyton entered the Society of Jesus at St. Andrew-on-Hudson, N. Y., December 7, 1909, and took the customary course of studies there and at Woodstock. He was sent to India but was forced to return because of illhealth and is now teaching at Georgetown Preparatory School, Washingtmuii. It is interesting to note that Father Boyton's father, the famous Captain Boyton, was widely famous for his swimming exploits. His mother has done some creditable writing. The story of Cobra Island concerns itself with the adventures of 'tScouty'l Gaze, a nerv- ous boy for whom the doctor has prescribed a change of climate and a long rest. Accordingly he sets out with his father for India. On the way, after several startling adventures, the ship is torpedoed by a German submarine Qthe events are supposed to have happened during the NVor1d Warj and 'tScouty, with his two chums and a few members of the ship 's com- pany, is cast on a deserted island. To tell the rest of the story would be unfair 5 after several blood-eurdling experiences, the hero, having thus attained the desired rest CTU, returns home. The story is told in the first person, with the result that all the characters seem to be inci- dental, with the exception of the hero who mo- 6 I IGNATIUS PREP nopolizes the limelight Cnot, it may be said, to the story 's disadvantagcj . The story is, on the whole, pretty well satis- fying, yet it leaves the effect of not having lived up to expectations. It starts out in a rambling and desultory Way that whets the reader 's curiosity, and sets him on his toes, Waiting for something which he does not fully receive. The author had plenty of material, I think, but it was not worked up properly. The style which is very pleasant at the be- ginning, becomes too jumpy as the tale pro- gresses, it seems to me. The hero is continually wandering away from deadly cobras and stone idols in the heart of the jungles, to what Father Tumulty, or his scout-master, or Mousie Moran used to say and do when he was in NVashington, D. C. He fastens apspell about his reader one moment, and the next he deliberately breaks it. Cobra Island, with its romantic setting and continual round ofiexcitement, is able to hold a boy's interest from beginning to end. In this point of interest it surpasses the author's second work, Whoopee!,' which lacks a well- knit plot, and in spite of all our modern critics may say, a plot is a merit :-certainly it is essential to a successful juvenile. . The first and the last chapters are written in the first person,-the other chapters in the third. It seems to me that when the hero speaks, he uses, for a thirteen-year-old boy, a most amazing vocabulary. Father Boyton's third book will be published by Benziger's this fall and he is at present Working on a fourth. The Books of Mark S. Gross, S. J. Father Gross, Who is probably the best of the Catholic Juvenile writers, without excep- tion, may be remembered by the older Alumni of St. Ignatius High School, as having taught here about six years ago, While he was yet a scholastic. He was born in Allenton, Mo., Feb- ruary 6, 1889, and attended St. Mary 's College, Kansas, until 1908, when he entered the novi- tiate at Florissant. His first book, Double- Eaglesf' was written when he was still a scholastic at St. Ignatius. Father Gross read the manuscript to the boys of his second year high class and it was so well received that he REV. MARK S. Gizoss, S. J. determined to seek its publication. It came out in 1919. Father Gross is a quiet, unobtrusive man, fond of reading and fishing. In June, 1922, he was ordained priest by Archbishop Glennon at St. Louis. Double-Eagles relates the adventures oi' three boys on a fishing trip down the Meramec River. From a literary standpoint, it may be his best work. His style is smooth and forcible, his descriptions of nature are unusually vivid 237 IGNATIUS PREP pen-pictures. On the other hand, it boasts a clever and swift-moving plot, together with an accurate eharaeterizatien of boys. Father tlross evidently understands them and has been able to put them on paper without blur or distor- tion. l Apparently, during the time which elapsed between the writing of Double-Eagles and To the Dark Tower, Father Gross had been reading up on R. L. S. To the Dark Tower is merely a Gross imitation of the style of 'lTreasure Island, if I may be permitted the pun. Otherwise the story in no way falls short of the hard standard he has set for himself. Lastly, there is Haunted Hollowu which may be the best juvenile of the last ten years. The plot is original and vigorous, and here Father Gross's style is entirely purged of the Stevensonian twist. I believe he has only one serious flawehis villains are entirely too bad to be plausible. Nearly all juvenile writers have the fault of enormously exaggerating the villain. Father Gross's books are not nearly as pop- ular at present as they deserve to be. He is far too good, however, to remain long in the shade, and sooner or later, is bound to reeeive the reeognition which he merits. The books of Father Gross are so well edited and printed, that a word ol' eonipliment is due the publishers. They are a joy to handle, after the usual slipshod affair. .A few illustrations are all that are necessary to impart the finish' ing toueh. NVhat is the future of Catholic Juvenile Lit- erature? 'With so many talented writers in the field and a growing competition there is no room for doubt that the next few years will see the development of several masters. No one, at the present moment, eau safely venture a prediction, but who, at the same time, can say that the authors who will have the largest audiences and exert the greatest influence will not be these three whom we have spoken of? Father Holland, with his aeute in- sight into boy nature. Father lioyton, at his best in his atmospheric tales of India, and finally, Father Gross with his mysterious and blood-eurding yarns of mountain and river, show great promise. NVhether or not they are the masters of the near future, their next books will be eagerly awaited and read by a large following olf Catholic boys. At Close of Day By David J. Duffy, Jr., '24 - The sun sinks low. A parting ray From the flaming sphere, through clouds ot sky Disperses into beams on high, Pure golden beams-at close of day.

RIVATP WHITIE a guaidhoust L barbtd wire stuck his cast iron Q--,AQ shoe through the hole, and dis appeared over the top of the hill. Seventeen deserters, thieves, murderers and what-not ran double time with him. Once away, they talked the matter over with the help of Yankee-Frog blasphemy and de- cided this A. E. F. had had their services long enough. They would work henceforth not for but on the French people. At the forwarding camp near Arnage, whose wire fence around the segregation battalion had been damaged, a certain officer decided otherwise. He was a fine, quiet-mannered colonel of the old school, who believed like many soldiers, that all prisoners should stay in prison. Besides, these were bad men, the riff-rad of a hundred guardhouses, the back- wash of the A. E. F. It was late in the summer of 1919. The American Embarkation Center, where a month before the roads had bustled with outgoing baggage, had fallen back into its provincial quiet. Most of the Americans, and the better of them, had left, bound for the States after that spectacular, if not long-lived, thank you. Scattered outposts of the Rents, Requisitions and Claims Department remained behind handling belated business. A few of the larger camps lay under guard awaiting the hour when they should be turned over to the French. Into the peaceful country of France, thirty Americans with empty pockets and long police records had turned themselves loose. The men of the Division of Criminal Investigation and the officers from the forwarding camp went out to hunt them, grumbling, for those were busy times. The search party in two automobiles first prowled about in the woods where eighteen men might have hidden but this time had not. Then in adjacent farmyards they poked, ex- plained and asked questions. They asked old mesdames just how the Americans looked who wofiurysyzy 1 - , ' ' Vi ,Q 5' veteran, ripped away a yard of W iff: s ' ' ' 239 had bought or stolen their poultry. Finally, along the Route National to Angers, they came lo lla Flesehe three weeks later. A The old town of La Flesehe, sleeping on the bank of the little river Loire, about fifty kilometers from Arnage, was supposcd.to be empty of Americans. Official sheets giving the disposition of troops made no mention of any soldiers there. But along the road outside the town where peasants paused to talk in the first labor of the grape harvest, it developed that the ll. S. Central Records Office was wrong. Soldiers were in lla Flesehe, living comfort- ably. A IJ. C. l. operator and four officers from the forwarding camp swooped into the town early one morning. One oi' them went ahead wearing civilian clothes. f'The Americans? The Mayor was astou- ished at the query. 'fOh. yes, there are Amer- icans here. They have rented the largest house in the city. They are discharged from the army, you see, and are resting from their labors in the war. ,f And the house is where? Next door to my own. 'fWhat time in the morning do the Amer- icans get up? the IJ. U. l. man asked casually. 'fNever till noon. They are very tired. They have worked so hard. The mayor seemed to force back a tear. 'The operator, less sympathetic. reported to the offi- cers who waited at the edge of the town. They all now entered the town and sought out the house of the Americans. They rushed the place, smashed in the doors, and there in high, fat beds, under soft covers, lay the eighteen Amer- icans they wanted. There was no fight. It was over too rapidly for that. e Eighteen prisoners! NVhat were-they to do with them L! Four officers and one D. C. I. man in a pair of automobiles could not chaperone a dozen and a half husky eutthroats forty miles back to the camp near Arnage,.. They ealled in the chief of police. He was properly surprised. These fellows, these American IGNATIUS PREP heroes. had seemed such fine gentlemen! He could not believe that they were prisoners. Surely there was some mistake. What have they done? he protested. The D. C. I. operator pointed to one of the deserters. M f'That man, there, he explained, is wanted for choking a. Frenchman and stealing his pocketloook. ' ' The mayor and the chief of police backed away behind the protecting line of American officers. VVell, said the captain in command of the posse, since we cannot lug them all back now, suppose we lock them up in your jail here till we send a truck after them? The chief of police consented. He had be- gun to see traces of lawlessness in the prison- ers who slouched in a line along the wall. So the eighteen men marched back to the police station. They were led across the courtyard behind the station house into two thick-walled stone cells, nine men in each. They were searched. Every knife, every centime, every piece of string was taken away from them. Their property was locked up in the police station safe. NVhen the American officers left, the captured fugitives were secured behind bars and were singing discordantly. Under no circumstances open the doors,'y the D. C. I. operator warned as he rode away, no matter what they say, no matter what they do. The chief promised, and put two men on guard in the courtyard facing the jail. The two automobiles returned to the forwarding camp, and the captain who had commanded the expedition went in to report his success. You are sure the men won't get out in the meantime? his superior asked. Say! The chief down there is afraid of his life. He wouldn't open the door before we get back if the police station burned down. ' Till send the truck after them, the major in charge replied, Hand go down myself. There may be some of those fellows that I want to see particularly. e The major started ahead of the truck in his own car, accompanied by a driver and one operator in civilian clothes. No matter where he went, he always took at least one man bc- sides the driver. Attempts upon his life had been planned in more than one guard house pow-wow, he knew. It was only good sense to have a friend at one's back in ease of a sudden attack. La Flesche was drowsy under the noonday sun. The major waved to the old patron of the Hotel des France as he passed his window. As he drove on he saw a crowd of people around the police station. At the sight of the major's car in its American coat of olive drab, the people fell back. The occupants of the car drew their revolvers from their cases, alighted, and marched forward into the court- yard. Vllhen they entered the jail they found it deserted. No officers were on guard and the doors of the cells which had contained the prisoners stood wide open. Then an aged man Ca servant in the prisonj came up and the story was drawn from him by degrees. The officers from Arnage had been gone an hour when the singing of the captives in the cells suddenly stopped. The policemen on guard drew their weapons and waited for trouble. But no. A cry came in French, it was a request for a cigarette. We got a sick man here, one of the prisoners pleaded. He seems to be poisoned. He wants a smoke. The gendarmes consulted. They could pass a cigarette through the little iron grating in the heavy door-but wait! perhaps it was a plot. They would not do it. Non, non! The sick man became worse. He lifted up his voiceimiserably and wailed. It was the cry of a lost soul. The man must he dying,-in agoniesl Citizens gathered in front of the police station to listen. The two gendarmes reported to their chief. He walked to the courtyard. Tears rolled down his cheeks. Such suffering! It was terrible. NVaterl the sick man was crying. A glass of water! I'm dying. The chief pondered. These men were un- armed-he had seen his men search them and had approved of the thoroughness of the job. He had a pair of his policemen there. He had his pistol. 240 IGNATIUS PREP Get a cup of water at the pump, he di- rected a fat, puffing gendarme. The policeman complied. I will open the door, the chief called magnanimously through the grating, just wide enough to give you the glass. The rest of you, stand back! I'll hand the water to the sick man. I'll have to carry it to him, said a voice from inside. He ean't hold up his head. The chief was moved by such suffering. After all, these were guests, sick, under his official roof. I'll get a doctor in a minute, he prom- ised, if the water doesnit helpf, The chief pulled his revolver and held it in his right hand. The glass of water was in his left. One of the policemen lifted the iron staple that fastened the cell door. The chief stood ready. 1 Here is your water, he announced. He reached the glass forward. His prisoner was slow in taking it. Come, come! the chief called. A blow, as if from heavy metal, struck his eyes. His revolver and the glass dropped from his fingers. The door was pushed openg strong hands dragged him roughly into the cell. Astonished gendarmes on guard outside, pulled their revolvers from their cases. But at that moment a shot from the chief 's own gun snapped one of the weapons from the hand of the first policeman. The second, furious, rushed forward and collapsed with a stinging blow across his head. The Americans ran out. They opened the door of their comrades' cell just as two gendarmesnrode into the court on horseback. An American carrying the chief's revolver made them dismount and give up their weapons. Other horses were secured from the stables and the American criminals rode away on the best mounts in France. The indignation of the major had been steadily rising during the recital of the old man's story. But where are the gendarmes who were guarding the prisoners? he demanded. Where is the chief of police? Oh, zee excitement, it ces too much! de- clared the old servant. All zee gendarmes go to zee cafe for refreshment. They received directions to the favorite wine shop of the chief and his staff. It was located in a narrow street off the main avenue. There, seated at tables on the sidewalk was the group of prison officials with a variety of wine bottles before them. They paid no attention to the Americans as they drove up and the major, ,upon putting a question or two to the chief, realized that further progress was impossible. Those American wild men! stammered the chief. They are worse than the Bosche! The major and his men laughed discon- solately and turned back to their machine. The whole case was marked on the D. C. I. records, ' ' Incomplete. ' ' 77 Queen of the Rosary By Edmund Cloonan, '24 Thou art Joyful in the thought that thou Art chosen to be The Mother of the Promised One, Lord of Eternity.

Scarce ten minutes previous, he had left it securely parked before the garage of the Vnited Auto Corp. and had entered the plaee to see about some new lights. Now there was but an empty space in the row of cars before the garage. The warm summer street was empty of all life, save for a few machines parked a block or two up the street. One of these was swinging out into the street, and as its side turned half- way toward him, Mr. llaskells recognized he dark blue body of his own car. Now Mr. Haskells was a man ol' action, and he lost no time. heaping into one of the machines at the curb, he applied the power and shot away in pursuit, breathing a prayer ol' thanksgiving to the carless owner who had left the car unlocked. Mr. Ilaskells was fortunate in this: all the cars before the garage were of the same make as his own and consequently he was able to drive one of them. It was only when he had turned into the state highway that he sensed the uneertainty of his own position. Guilty of stealing a. car, a car to which he had no right, he could not see why he should not be dealt with in the same way as he wished the driver of his own machine to be. Of course, his case was different, but suppose . 'x N -N -Xxrf'-XX 1 x - T, L2 i 'U fthe thought filled him with alarmj that he would not be able to prove that he was chasing after his own car? The idea provided a double incentive for catching the one ahead. The highway was fortunately not crowded, and by passing up the cars when opportunity offered, he was soon able to sight his own, which was gliding peacefully along some distance be- fore him, all unconscious, as Mr. Haskells thought, of pursuit. A sudden thought struck him. There had been a. scarce half gallon of gasoline in the tank, and, as he reasoned, as long as he kept the car in sight he would be all right. For some time now, he had a feeling that he was being followed. Just a feeling that sud- denly jumped into a live reality when he glanced around and saw another car of the same make behind him. A detective, probably, who had noticed him drive away and had followed him. He was some distance behind though, and in no immediate danger of catching up. The gap before Mr. llaskells was gradually widen- ing and he reduced this with a short spurt, a spurt which he at once regretted. for the driver of the car ahead, glancing around, had noticed the ear in pursuit. He in turn had applied power and was gradually drawing away from him. Haskells let him go. Mr. Haskells' first frenzied intention was to catch up with the car, and after that,-well, he hadn't thought about that. Now he had a bet- ffx ri 1 at 242 g-:rc U J Nswku uk s9w.3', J 71 J ,K Z- Drawing by Jos. Hoberg, '24 IGNATIUS PREP ter and much more reasonable plan, a plan which struck him as being not only the best way to get back his car, but one which would prob- ably be the best for his welfare-physically. For if he were to catch up with his car, what was to prevent the driver from pulling a gun and using it to escape a jail sentence. Mr. kells didn 't like things like that. It would be much better to await the inevitable failure of the gasoline supply, stop, wait for the third ear, explain, and then both advance. If he were to stop and try to explain matters now, perhaps the car ahead would get away. It was at this point that Mr. Haskells was disagreeably surprised. A quick glance in the rear was enough to sec that the third car was coming forward at a rapid rate, so much so that in a short time the tieeing Mr. Haskells felt reasonably sure he would be overtaken. This was forcing matters to a point much more rapidly than he desired. It meant that he must increase his speed also, and that was something that he had not intended to do. To make it worse, the highway was practically free from cars, and so he could look nowhere for help. Mr. Haskells was in a peculiar position. Here he was between these two cars, and knowing very well that the occupants of both were work- ing thcmselves into a fine rage because of him. lt seemed that he could escape neither. As he drew closer to the car before him, he saw that the occupant was a big man, and this fact eer- tainly did not set Mr. Haskells much at ease. The man had not glanced behind him for some time and Haskells was duly thankful. Suddenly Mr. Haskells became aware that something was wrong about the whole affair. the race progressed, he had more time to give to himself and to the car he was riding. The intimacy that Haskells felt about the ear he attributed to the fact that the makes were the same. Now he began to notice little things about thc way it was running that led him to the belief that it was his own ear in which he was riding! This discovery he reached gradu- ally and was naturally disconcerting to him at first, as it would change his whole position. lt left several things to be explained. Mr. Haskells' gratitude was entirely sincere and, as can be expected, he was greatly relieved at the way things were turning out. But when 24 he glanced about and saw that his pursuer was none other than Jake Murphy, and that Mr. Murphy was at present coming forward very rapidly, he saw that he might become hopelessly in the power of that sarcastic young man. It all depended on whether Jake knew that he, Haskells, had been fooled at first by the posi- tions of the cars before the garage. If he did, he knew that Jake would never forget or allow him to forget. A sputter and an expiring sigh suddenly brought him back to the car and the failure of gas he had been expecting of the machine ahead. There was nothing to do but glide up to the side of the road. A moment later, Jake's ear drew up beside him and Haskells knew that the next few moments would decide whether he would become the object of a life joke. But there was nothing but good natured triumph in Murphy's face. HI knew I'd catch youf' he said, failing to note the sigh of relief from Haskells. These few words that would have baffied a. stranger, cleared up the whole situation for Mr. Haskells. He and Murphy had often discussed and boasted of the speed of their respective cars and both had agreed that some day they should try them out in a race. Now Murphy, Haskells quickly reasoned, had simply thought that he was being challenged to a race and had acted accordingly. HW'ell, you'd never have done it if my gas hadnft given out,', said Haskells. On their way back to the town Mr. Haskells made a few cautious inquiries of Murphy. HHow did it happen that the cars were moved in front of the garage? he risked. HThey had to shove them all ahead to make room for a truck that was unloading, was Murphy 's unsuspecting answer. I was fooled for a moment. Thought my car was gonef, Do you mean to say you couldn't tell your car in that bunch? Haskells was sorry he couldnlt make his voice more severe. He would have liked to have said something about the car ahead of him, but he was sure Jake knew noth- ing of it. And he never did find out who it was for he was afraid to ask anybody and risk the chance of the story getting about. 0 O f E 4 I I IGNATIUS PREP 'tTl1ro1lg71 Moonslziite is man Zed to his ultimate end.

Bootlcgging is the most comprehensive ot all the sciences. This may seem a broad statement, but I shall now demonstrate that it is none too broad. A bootlcgger must have the requisite l'oundations of third year Elementary School and Sociology. He opened up an entirely new department of Chemistry-concoctionology-- the science ne plus ultra of destroying human lite without sending the individual into the field of battle. In Physics he specializes in such problems as how to cause the loss of equilibrium in man or beast. Geology, also, is quite neces- sary. The bootlegger must be well acquainted with Petrology, which points out to him the rc- gions where the boniest-headed humans are. For instance, he knows that Cicero, Oak Park, and Chicago are more profitable marts than anything this side of Hollywood. . Then there are History tot Bootleggingi, 'Education tot the Policel, Oratory tspeak , Walter, '27 easyj, Botany tycast plantsj, and other im- portant branches. In Astronomy enough telescopy is required to identify the stars of police, sheriffs, and jus- tices of the peace. tThe failure to recognize these stars on sight is responsible for the mc- teoric fall of many an unwary bootleggerj The specialist must needs be an economistk- to bear philosophically the heavy inroads of the police on his bank account. Hence also, he must be a banker of no mean ability. Moreover, the successful bootlegger has the Neon science down and applies it without conscience. The aesthetical value of the profession is well known and universally admitted. The q. t. brewer has a true appreciation of all that ap- pertains to the beautiful. Obviously he is some- thing more than a cold man of business, a seeker after dollars. His profession summons him to do mankind for all that can be gotten out of them. In Kentucky, that state rather backward in other departments ot' education, there are bootlegging schools which hold regular noctur- nal meetings in the mountains: These schools are connected with one another through the Greek letter fraternity B. P. Y. However, they lack that universality of culture and taste for beers which a university could offer. Only the initiated may attend the mysteries of the B. P. Y. Gathered around the caldrons they keep still and Watch the moon rising in the yeast. Sweet is the music of the coils and barrels, the art of brown jugs and tin pails, the poetry of the roaring waters and the blind tiger. It may be asked why the universities have not opened courses in Bootlegging. The reason is that the task is far too large to be assumed by a single educational institution and cannot be conducted efficiently if the branches are scat- tered. The multitude of details involved stifies the imagination. Moreover, infinite laboratory space is required in which to recover all the ele- ments which enter into certain chemical com- 244 'nun--- IGNATIUS PREP binations which blow men and materials to the nebulas. An authority has likewise asserted that such a college course would be futile. Six months in the county workhouse will result in the amateur's learning all that ordinarily need be known about this engrossing and exhilirating profession. Ten years can only mellow his un- derstanding and mayhap mellow his brews if he and they be not blown to smithereens at the forge. The Forest By David J. Duify, Jr., '24 I love to gaze at a sylvan scene WVhen the winds hum soft and low, And the grass and foliage is green, And sunbeams dance and play between The leaves, with beauty so serene, NVhen tossing to and fro. The flowers no warm sunlight receives, Save where a small beam brings A slender golden thread through leaves, And downward shining interweaves Dim shadows, forming stately eaves, VVhile a soft wind gently sings. Into the calm and whispering air, Into the quiet wood, , I wandered softly here and there, It seemed to me that everywhere, Prevailing silence was a prayer: Beneath a tree I stood. Around me stretched an avenue Of mighty, tall, straight pines, And oaks and elms and hemlocks grew So dense I could but scarce look through, And gaze upon the sky so blue, Soon darkened with Night's lines. I dreamt of things that do not die, Sweet visions came to me As deep in thought I used to lie, The fleeey clouds o'er me went by Far in the azure blue of sky, Like ships upon the sea. The Thirst For Adventure By Laurence Wingerter, '24 ANG UP! said Etienne. t'Didn't Longfellow or Shakespeare or some- ? body else say something about life being an empty dream? If they didn 't, they should have. Here we are with nothing to do. IVhatever happens to us? I wish I'd be kidnapped or arrested or something, just for a little novelty. 'AGO on, I told him, There're lots of acci- dents hanging around waiting to happen. Come on downtown with me while I exchange these slippers for mother, and we'll try to have some- thing eome along and surprise usf' I bought a paper before we got on the car, and gave Etienne half of it. As a slow reader, he has the prize cinehed. I had finished my half, which happened to be the want-ad section, and 24 was waiting patiently for him to finish so we could trade. Hurry up, you rascal, I said, What do you want me to do, read want-ads all day? t'Sure, go ahead, the pleasure is all yours. I grumbled some retort and opened up the paper. An advertisement in the personal column struck my eye right away. 4'Hey, bozo, herc's a personal for you, I cried. Listen-'Etienne, come home, write to me, grandpere le comte has died. Cecile' Quit your kidding, he replied. f'Let me see that paper. He grabbed it from my hand and looked at it eagerly. Gee, that 's funny. You 'd think it was for me at first. There aren't many fellows with a crazy name like Etienne. I don't know 5 IGNATIUS PREP anybody called Cecile, and what the dickens does 'grandpcrc le tcomte' mean? Ha, ha! I laughed. '4You arentt wise like me. You should have studied French. Let me see that paper. It means tGrandfather, the Count.' Your grandfather wasnlt a count, was he? Ye gods, no! He was a butcher. 'tSay, look here, Etienne! I grabbed his arm, dramatically. t'Etienne, my nobleman! Here 's another ad a little further down. Wait, I'll read it to you: 'Liberal remuneration will be paid for information concerning the where- abouts of Etienne Bourbon, last seen in Chi- cago.

Still why should you be afraid of him even if he does see you? Ah, my uncle, he is a bad man. Look-- what he would not do for money!

The foreigner pushed people right and left, wheeled, and turned down the alley between Adams and Monroe. If I hadn't been so busy trying to keep up with him, I might have stopped and had a good laugh. He sure looked funny flying down the alley with his whiskers blowing in the breeze. The man reached Dearborn Street and turned. As I rounded the corner I noticed another man about half a block behind. He was running like a zephyr, too. I only got one glance of him, but I noticed that he also had whiskers. White ones, like Santa Claus. 246 VVhatls wrong with you?

We had just reaehed it, when we noticed a fellow coming along, dressed in a queer uniform. It was something between that of a policeman and of a street ear con- ductor. 'tSay, boys, he said, turning to us. You didn 't see a eouple ol birds along here with lots of whiskers, did you? Yes, Etienne cried. 'tHere they eome now. They're ehasing us.

IGNATIUS PREP The Law and the Malefaetor X By Thomas Deegan, '25 fy-90 '1'uu,,m DARK night, rainy. XVhen such a fmy ha night settles upon the city the Q oi? houses scowl sullcnly at the passer- ? ,JLQJ by. They seem to say: t'Who are you? VVhy are you abroad at such an hour in such weather? Are you a thief? An outcast? At this time only vagabond men and dogs are in the streets. Thank God for the police! In the peaceful slumber of the citizen nestled in bed in his comfortable home there is an aspect of triumph. Because he has the right to snore at his ease, a fantastic struggle takes place beyond the door of his bedchamber. Two monsters are at grips: Law and Crime. A creature has left its den, has sniffed the damp night air and has set out with its jimmy, skele- ton keys and flash light in pocket. A patrol- man has left the police station. Two hard, inexorable wills are roaming in the dark. One is armed by the ferocity of need, the other by all the rights of repression. But now a ragged, wretched figure darts around a street corner and makes its way as rap- idly as it can, close to the wet walls. It is a child. No, not a child, for a child is a lovely thing and this is a little savage-dirty, bare- foot, drenched with rain and grimed with iilthj Social evolution, from the wilds to the city, from the cave to the mansion, has for him never occurred, for the water drips down upon him from the roof gutters as it would drip from the leaves of the forest oak, and the whistling winds buffet him just as they would assail a slinkling wolf in the barren prairics. In return, however, he has some consolations. Society has created a thousand institutions to defend him. Congress has legislated for him. There is a great tangle of laws, regulations, pro- hibitions, protecting the head of this shivering creature. It is a pity the law stays at home this time of night! It should certainly not 248 allow him to roam about in this manner, for there are tragic malignities in the darkness. Every gust of wind brings chances of death to this derelict. But hold! The Law appears around the street corner. It is dressed in a policeman's uniform and it is in very bad humor, because on a S100 a month it eats badly, dresses badly and is always in debt. Thus it has no time to learn fine manners and does its work the best way it can. The child continues to flee and the Law sets out in pursuit. There seems to be something disagreeable about the protection of Society, for the little creature feels all the terrors of evil clutching at him. Two hot tears run down his pallid cheeks, and his little laboring heart beats till it is near bursting. What do they want of him? What has he done? Nothing. He is an unmuzzled dog, a homeless waif, a vagrant. These are the names the Law gives him. His crime lies not so much in his misdeeds as having no mother to say, 'fYou bad boy, you! and then pardon him. No doubt there are in this world hearth fires and white beds, play- things and books, but he does not believe in them because the night is as deep as the ocean and is full of things you can not see. It cuffs your face with enormous hands and spits in your eyes with its icy rain. The policeman caught the boy at the end of the deserted thoroughfare, and took him by the neck. Apparently he recognized him, for when he looked into his eaptive's face he said: f'Oh, it's you again, is it? He commenced to pom- mel him. Il? 'lf Il?

The ship plunged ahead under a light press of canvass while her crew drowsed under the shade of the lee bulwark. The captain stood wrapped in oilskins balancing himself against the taffrail and trying to pierce the clouds of spray rising from the vessel's bows. A shriek reached his ears, Breakers ahead! Right under our star- board bow! Port her, for heaven's sake! The ship rose in a mighty swell and as the huge boulders burst into view she came down with a crunching roar on the rocks of San Dolores Reef. Hoarse cries came from the seamen in the depths of the sinking vessel. Then there was a mournful chant. The slaves! After the first tremor of fear had passed, the older hands hustled the slaves on deck and with great diffi- culty transferred them to the reef. .3 11 as as as as Mel Statson ran his sinewy hands through his long curly black hair and drummed absent- mindedly on the glass topped desk with a leathern riding whip. The look of greed that played about his mouth and serpentine eyes did not improve his mien as he grumbled, 'tThe loafer! He'd ought ya known better.

If he only-H The latter statement was left unfinished as he turned, adjusted his collar, snatched up his gloves and hurried out to his waiting carriage. He pulled up before a beautiful old Colonial mansion with spacious grounds and a broad shady veranda. Colonel Ben F. Merdith greeted his visitor with a smile that only the Colonel could give, and bent a searching gaze with his jolly blue eyes on Statsonts face as he motioned the latter to a chair. HNo doubt, Colonel, Statson began, you'vc heard about that ,ere cargo oi niggers- Madagarry niggers-I got ti other day. VVal now I'm goin, to give you first shot at em at five a head. Rely on it that they 're strong and can work like horsesf' The colonel tilted his chair back at an alarm- ing angle, fondly stroked his white goatee and brushed the cigar ashes from his spotless dinner suit before he began to weigh the offer. A hundred niggers at five a head would mean five hundred dollars, and although the colonel was a rich man he did not wish to invest in wild speculations. Madagascar slaves were in great demand at this time, so why had Statson come near begging him to buy? The gentle old Colonel loath to doubt any man 's word or to hold him in suspicion, and yet he was shrewd enough not to be deceived by the artful slave trader. Could you spare me a hundred? he drawled in a quiet tone. . t'0f course I can. And right now, Colonel, I want to congratulate you. A business man would never think of turning down such an offer. I have the papers right here and will you please sign on the last line? Something in Statson's eager manner again warned the colonel, so that after glancing over the bill of sale he remarked with a most provok- ing smile playing about his beaming features, Wal, Mel, five hundred dollars is a large pile of coin so Ah reckon Ah!ll go down and look these niggers ovah. Hearing these words Statson gulped once or twice, NVhy, Colonel, you shorley don't think that I who have so often served you a good turn would go back on you, do yuh? t'Of course, nothin, like that, the colonel made haste to reply. t'But Ah must go ovah yo' way today and Ah may as well stop in and see my new servants. The Colonel will would not be overruled by Statsonis protests, so they drove down the shady avenue, the Colonel reclining easily as he puffed 249 IGNATIUS PREP at a freshly lit cigar and the latter tidgetine' more and more as they neared the slave market. After a briet' drive they stopped before a huge enclosure where a hoard of poorly c-lad blaeks toiled under the broiling sun. Statson entered and sheepishly pointed out to the Colonel his new helpers. Astonishment was Written on every feature of the Colonel countenance as he noted, here, a huge broad shouldered fellow Whose sunken eyes gazed pitifully from a shriveled face, there, another whose ebony baek was slashed tiearl'ully by the eruel knout ol' the slave driver. f' Hvlvllill' does this mean, suhlw demznuled the Colonel bending a Wratlilul gaze on Statsou. True enough, the slaves were redueed to sueh 21 condition that another day would render them useless and then many masters would doubtless Hog them to death. The Colonel eould not re- press a shudder as the thought struck him. St'atson's eyes were intently fixed upon the ground, a shamelaeed expression on his eoun- tenance when the Colonel said, Please hand me that bill o' sale. The wondering Statson handed over the re- quired bill and on the last line the Colonel serawled-4 ' Ben Franklin M erdith.

O'Nei1, '26 THE CARDINAL AND THE CRUSADE HIC elevation of Archbishop Mundelein to the cardinalate is of particular interest to the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade. It was in this, the archdioeese of His Eminence, that the Crusade began, and without his sanction and approval the first convention could not have been held at Tcchny. Five years ago the Crusade began under his guidance and since that time the Cardinal has manifested a great interest in all its undertak- ings. Although he was never able to attend these conventions, he always sent congratulatory greetings before the opening of each one. His Eminence is held in such great regard by the Crusade that at the opening of the Notre Dame Conclave last summer, his message was read to the delegates immediately after that of the Holy Father. SHORT STORY CONTEST The short story contest of the Crusade is fast drawing to a close. The National Secretary- Treasurer states that a great number ot' stories have been submitted. Two stories of the con- test have already been printed in the Shield. TO DEFEND THE CROSS A copy of Te 'Defend the Cross, spoken of previously in the PREP, has been received by the St. Ignatius l'nit. It has been called the most up-to-date scientific treatment of every- 2 thing concerning the Missions that is in print to-- day.

One of the ban- ners was displayed on the Bulletin Board, one was re- tained in the Unit Head- quarters. MONSIGNOR BECKMAN CONSECRATED An event of great interest to every member of the Cru- sade was that of the elevation of its head to the Episeopacy. On May 1, Rt. Reverend Monsignor Francis J. Beck- man was consecrated Bishop of Lincoln Nebraska. Bishop Beekman will re- tain the chairmanship of the executive board of the Cru- sadels first convention in 1918. The consecration of Bishop Beckman took place at St. Peter's Cathedral, Cincin- nati. Archbishop Hen r y Moeller, President of the Crusade, acted as conseerator and had as his assistants, Bishop Schrembs of Cleve- land and Bishop Chartrand of Indianapolis. A reception for the new ' K Crusader Bishop followed on May 5th at the Crusade Castle. A number of units from various parts of the country were represented at this reception. On this occa- sion the Secretary-Treasurer of the Crusade presented His Courtesy of The Shield, Catholic Students' Mission Crusade RT.

The many editorials are well written and show thought on the part of the authors and au- thoresses. t't'ont-erning Hatsy' is a worthy poem amid the great wealth olf verse. You 25 5 have an exceptionally good athletic depart- ment and one which includes every branch of sport in the school. Your cover design is Well done and we compliment the artist. The Cascian, St. Rita High School, Chicago, .lll. There is certainly no lack of anything that goes to make up a fine school magazine in the April number ot the Cascian. There is an abundance of literary talent that is easily seen by your stories, articles, and poems. The Uaseian is fortunate indeed, in having poets that can turn out work such as To the Risen Christ, Lines on Easter, a11d H011 Auction. This last poem is one of the best of the humorous poems that we have 1'0i1Cl in our exchange magazines. Your stories are all good and In Antieipationl' is an in- teresting class phophecy of the graduates of 'Z-1, even to those readers who are not person- ally acquainted with them. We would advise a larger head type for your articles and stories, as the present type is not large enough for the size of your page. Illustrations for your department heads, School Notes, and t'Exchanges, would liven up the magazine, as would also the addi- tion of one or two cartoons. The Arena, Canisius High School, Buffalo, N. Y. Perhaps the most conspicuous thing in the Arena is the spirit of school loyalty that runs through the entire magazine. Your writeups on school activities, your editorials, and your departments, all show that the staff and the school is working for thc success of IGNATIUS PREP school and its paper. NVQ? like your stories, and of your poems, t'An Easter Prayer, and 'tAehievement, are perhaps the best. Your debating article was fine and you certainly ought to be proud of your team and of the work they have done. Your trip to this city was one which any school would be glad to take, and we wish you future success in your contests. Your exchange department is re- freshing in its originality and form, and your athletics is certainly complete in every way. A few cartoons would add greatly to the mag- azine and we do not approve of the exclusive use of old English as head type. The Mangrove, St. John's College, Belize, British Honduras. Vile received the pictorial Mangrove in time for a review in this issue, and we were certainly glad to get the chance to write up this number. As Bishop Murphy is an alumnus of St. Ignatius we are greatly interested in the progress of any place over which he has jurisdiction, and any report of his activities are eagerly read here. The ac- counts of the doings of the school occupy the most space in the magazine, and in the athletic department it is interesting to see that, with the exception of cricket, your sports are the same as ours. Your poems are all good, par- ticularly To Our Bishop, and t'St. John's of Old Belize, by Bishop Murphy, is a beau- tiful tribute to St. John's. The Spanish articles were translated in our Spanish class. And we shall await further issues of the Mangrove and read them with great interest. ' The Aajutor, Do La sane Institute, Chicago, Ill. After we had enjoyed a thorough perusal of this interesting annual from the Blue and Cold we mentally gave thanks to the friend who had providentially loaned us a copy. This was the second volume and we believe that they have outdone the initial number. They have faithfully adhered to the policy that an annual must be for the most a pictorial- and with the possible exception of what we consider the only blemish from a photographic stand- point, namely the background and position of the Junior Class photos. the pictures of the school organizations and the athletic photos are fine. To one Vtlilliam Kotzenberg goes the credit for the art work of the entire annual and he is to be especially complimented for his treatment of the division sheets. Our hand, Vtlilliam! Le Petit Seminaire, Quigley Preparatory Seminary, Chicago, Ill.-His Eminence may well be proud of the manner in which Le Petit Seminaire, edited by the students of his own Preparatory Seminary, has commenced the Easter number with an article dealing with his gradual rise to his position as a Prince of the Church. This essay followed by two others dealing with the College of Cardinals and the Cardinal's Church are well written and do Cardinal Mundelein a well deserved honor. Much credit indeed is due one Nicholas Barron whose poetic pen contributed six fine poems of which Crueifixion and 'tSpring Rain are outstanding. Cheeks and Cheques, t'Fort- une's Fool, and Aladdin's Lamp are three climaxes, interesting stories each containing tragic and humorous, and worthy of an 0. Henry. The only evident defect is the lack of photos and department headings. Loyola Prep, Loyola Academy, Chicago, Ill. --At last our cousins from Loyola have de- cided to sate our craving for verse and so we find Resurrexit, Sicut DiXit, a really line poem and with an abundance of poetic meta- phors. Circu1nstantial Evidence, dealing with mental telepathy, and Force of Habit, the tale of a mentally deranged derelict whose loyalty to habit prevents a tragedy conceived in his own weak brain, are two well-done stories each treating the human mind from un- usual angles. The Cemetery is an atmos- pherie vignette which is sketched in a quite masterful way. 256 l IGNATIU S PREP FOUR years ago NVE brought forth THE elass of '24 DEDICATED to the proposition THAT not all need Hunk AND that every stude with an EVEN BREAK will eome thru.

Vilith the final scenes of school life comes the uncertain promise of the future. NVith what vigor we started out on our course, with what enthusiasm and spirit did we pursue it! NVe have seen many of our former classmates weaken and drop by the wayside. Through the scholastic routine of studies, examinations and vacations, all milestones of our high school career, the luckier ones of us have wended our way until the last stretch, the June examina- tions and Commencement Day have come. We gaze back fondly on our school days, from that first hour when eager but inexperi- enced we entered the portals of St. Ignatius High School, until today when we stand a little wiser and experienced on the threshold of life. A vast panorama, comprising all the incidents, both pleasant and tragic to recall, is extended to our view. But now all is over. Our school days are now but happy memories. There was the Jug for all offenders where many a time we toiled and struggled as the unwilling guests of the prefect. There also were the secret recesses of the old buildings which we often explored in the spirit of ad- venture and in spite of the veto of authority. There was the campus, the scene of many ex- citing sports and contests, and the classrooms, the actual workshops where our mental facul- ties were developed. But above all there shall be the fond memories of the venerable and learned teachers and superiors whose lot it was to guide us with stern but kind authority. Indeed there is an untold wealth of recol- leetions of our days at Ignatius, and it is safe to say as we bid farewell to our Alma Mater, that not one of the '24 graduating class will lose the loyalty and love for the old school that we feel so strongly. PATRICK WALsH, '24. A COLLEGE EDUCATION lVith the approach of another Commencement Day another class, the class of 24, is graduat- ing. The question uppermost in the minds of the graduates is: What now? For some there are two alternatives, college or work. Is it better to continue our education or to go out into the World, into the professions, into the sphere of business, into industrial life. It is a favorite remark of the opponents of a college education that many of the great men of the world received little or no education, ex- cept what they were able to acquire by them- selves. They tell us of Abraham Lincoln, of Andrew Jackson, and of many of our pres- 261 IGNATIUS PREP idents, they tell us of Rockefeller and Ford and many other millionaires and point out that they received no college education. No, they did not. But what of that? If they had received such an education with all its advantages, does it not stand to reason that these men would have made even more rapid strides, that they would have risen even higher, that they would have been able to accomplish even nobler things in life? The reason for the greatness or wealth of these men is that they possessed marvelous intclleets, or a remarkable capacity for work, or good business heads. It is true that you can lt keep a good man down,,but give a good man a good opportunity and watch how high he soars. What are these much-talked-of advantages oi' a college education? First of all, there is the development of the taste for the good and beau- tiful. Acquaintance with the classics gives one many pleasant hours in after life, either when reading them or when pondering over the many beautiful thoughts they suggest. The mental effort required to translate the ancient classics is the best of intellectual exercises. It broadens the mind of the student and trains him well for his later battles in life by giving him a con- FIRST YEAR OF THE IGNATIUS PREP With this issue, the first volume of the IGNA- TIUS PREP will be completed. Last September the school started for the first magazine it has put out alone since 1912, and has succeeded, we think, in keeping up the standard set in past years when the lioyola Prep was published jointly with Loyola Academy. The several new features, such as the inter- views, were started in the new PREP, and it is that the new departments, the Poets' hoped Corner, and the Exchanges, have increased and promoted school interest in the publication of the magazine. In 1912 the magazine that the school. published, was of a much smaller size, and on a generally smaller scale than the pres- ent IGNATIUS PREP. That was to be expected with the comparatively small number of stu- dents then attending. Vile hope that this volume will be followed by magazines better than any yet seen at St. Igna- tius, and if the tentative plans already formed for next yearls PREP materialize, and if the students support the magazine in the same way they have done this year, there can certainly be fidence in his own powers to mount successfully difficult obstacles. The sciences endow the collegian with a practical, everyday knowledge of the physical world. They sharpen the mind and enable him to reason out and understand the more serious prob- lems which must confront him later. Thus it is to be readily seen that a college education trains one not only for the professional fields of medicine, dentistry, law, or divinity, but it pro- vides him with a thorough preparation for the business world. For a student can hope to cope with the keen minds of the -country only when he is as thor- oughly trained as they are. VVM. PATRICK VVAI.sH, 124.

X 262 DE EW Senior Prom Attended by Brilliant Gathering PLAY GOES T0 ORLAND After presenting the school play The Last Trick, at the Eighth Street theater, April 28, the St. lgnatius players journeyed to Orland, Illinois. where they gave a performance amid rustic settings. The hall in which the play was staged was dimly lit by two kerosene lamps. Front row seats consisted ol' planks rest- ing upon chairs. llut every seat was occupied and all the stand- ing room taken when the cur- tain instead ot going up was drawn aside for the first act. The audience. amounting to some two hundred people en- joyed the performance despite a perverse desire upon the part of the players to express their appreciation ot' their own jokes by poorly concealed grins and chuckles. The boys were quartered among the various farmers for supper and one and all united in praising the quality ot the Heats which they received. CLASSES HOLD PICNICS Nearly all the classes found time to run a picnic duringl the last week ol' school and, several days were devoted to invasions of the near country. The fourth year rooms made theirs a joint picnic, Crystal Lake was selected for the oc- casion, and June 6th as the day. June 5th, 3.-X had their picnic at Lake Waconda. lilo? at St. Charles. and IEC at Crys- tal Lake. ELOCUTION CONTEST In the clocution contest Which took place in Sodal- ity llall, May 15, Thomas F.

Cassidy, Cloo- nan and Butler, the Senior Prom which took place at the French Room of the Drake Hotel on June 4th, was a great success. This event has always rivalled the Football Dance for predominance upon the St. Ignatius social calendar and the turnout for this year 's Prom left nothing to be de- sired. Despite the fact that preparations for the dance were begun rather late every- thing workedoff smoothly. A capacity crowd, splendid music by liensonys orchestra, and the popular Drake floor made the evening a decided success. As usual St. Mary's high contrib- uted a substantial quota of fair dancers.

St. Ignatius, 2, De Paul, 0 On April 25, St. Ignatius traveled to De Paul field, determined to set their rivals down. Larry Russel started to pitch, but this being his first start, he was rather nervous, and when in the second inning he filled the basis with none out, Knight replaced him and held the opponents scoreless. Knight, easily the star of the game, besides pitching shutrout ball, gathered three walks and scored twice. His two runs were the only scores in the game. Captain Perry Mayr showed his speed to good ad- vantage in this game, making six putouts in'i-ight field.

St. Ignatius, 55 St. Cyril, 4 The road to the championship is certainly not all roses. Tight games, like this one, were becoming regu- lar affairs. Russell started in the box and for five innings it was a nip and tuck affair with neither side scoring. However, in the fifth the going became pretty rough and Knight relieved Russell, but three runs were counted. St. Cyril only enjoyed their lead for an in- ning as we came right back with a trio of runs and put the game on ice with another volley a short while later. Our next encounter was against the rather weak Acquinas, entry, which if we shoulld win, would make us tie for first place. St. Ignatius, 12, Acquinas, 5 The Aeqiiinas game was merely another stepping stone to the championship. All the reserves were given an opportunity to show their worth. Early in the pas- time Corny Collins sewed up the game by a circuit clout with the sacks all occupied and Lefty Russell was given a commanding load. He held the southsiders in cheek and had command of the situation at all stages. Delaney performed well at the plate, getting two hits. VVally Donovan made a pair of scintillating stops and held down the keystone sack in good fashion. St. Ignatius, 7 g De La Salle, 6 The Institute nine was the toughest league outfit we bumped up against with the possible exception of St. Rita. Our men realized that the outcome of this game would eliminate one team or the other, as the race had begun to narrow down. Knight started in the box for Ignatius and was effective until the final session when the home boys pushed across four runs allli had three more on the sacks. For a time it looked like curtains for Ignatius, but Knight tightened and set the oppo- nents down one counter arrears. The feature of the day was the work of Joe Mahoney. He drove out three hits and gathered a walk in four trips to the plate. Furtliermore, he made two putouts in that hectic seventh inning. St. Ignatius, 8, St. Phillip, 3 NVC took another step toward the league bacon when St. Phillip became an easy victim to our slashing of- 266 , IGNATIUS PREP ST.

In his second start in the box, Firpo Husar let the opponents down with four hits. Collins' homer, his second of the season which came in the first inning, gave Firpo a comfortable lead. From the first to the sixth the score was two to nothing in our favor. In the sixth, however, Talsky, the St. Phillip slab choice, weakened and permitted a single and two walks and then a flock of hits that completed our scoring for the day. St. Ignatius, 135 Loyola, 6 By defeating our ancient rivals we cinched the league banner. The boys were anxious to capture this game as it meant more than any other on the schedule. The fireworks started in the first inning when Loyola an- nexed a lone tally. Vile retaliated in our half of that inning with four counters and things looked better. Knight was in great form and deserves much credit for stopping the Loyola squad. Danny McCarthy's homer in the first was the wallop that set us off to a good start. From then on each inning was a repetition of the first. There were few errors despite the large score, and heavy hitting on both sides kept things lively throughout the -game. St. Ignatius, 65 St. Mel, 4 Having clinched the Catholic League pennant, St. lgnatius journeyed out to Pyott field on the West Side to complete its schedule, with St. Mel as an opponent. The game had no bearing on the championship, yet we were anxious to complete -the season without letting our West Side friends carry off our scalps. Russell started in the box for Ignatius, and although he did not pitch airtight ball, he managed to keep the hits well scattered. In the final inning he was relieved by Knight for no particular reason. Coach Ed Daly started a number of reserves, but they were all that were necessary to hold St. Mel in check. Wally Donovanplayed a creditable defensive game, while the entire outfit was rather strong at the plate. Nolan of the hostile outfit annexed the only four-base hit of the day. Track The season for theflgnatius track team of '24 in the Catholic League was not finished until the league ineet on June 7th, and the practice meets before gave 'fair promise that the the team would finish well up in the front. With only three veterans from the 26 championship squad of last year, Captain Butler, Vtfroblewski, and Kelly, the team began practice this spring with a host of second and third year men who developed rapidly i11to real stars.

I11 the inauguural entry of tennis into the Catholic League, St. Ignatius finished in second place in the percentage columns, and we might say, a very close second. After dropping the first match of the season to Loyola, we hit a stride and won handily from St. Rita, St. Cyril, St. Mel and then by default from De La Salle. ,The Loyola team, with their own courts, and conse- quently in good shape for that time of the season, dc- feated us, 3 matches to 2, on the North Side. Finnegan was largely responsible for the Ignatius victories, win- ning his singles match and, paired with Ducey, one of the double matches. ,Our next meet was with St. Mel 's, undoubtedly one of the best teams of the league, and we gained a decision over the West Siders by the score of 3 matches to 2. Doyle and Finnigan Won in the singles contests and Cassidy put up a great game against Emmet Parry, Chieago's leading boy player, but lost, 6-0, 6-4. Finnigan and Cassidy took their doubles and clinched the meet by winning, 6-3, 7-5. Ft. Rita put up comparatively little opposition and wene easily defeated, 5 to 0, on the South Side. The thrre singles matches were won by Finnigan, Cassidy and Butler, while Pomeroy paired with Butler, and Ducey with Finnigan took their doubles matches in fine style. The team had hit their stride in this meet and certainly promised that they would furnish tough opposition to those teams who were after the pennant. St. Cyril was next to fall before the Ignatius squad, who triumphed easily, 5 to 0. Cassidy, Doyle, and' Finnigan won in the singles and, Finnigan and Ducey, Pomeroy and Cassidy in the doubles. St. Mel, Loyola and St. Ignatius now entered into a round robin series. Our first opponents were St. Mel. All though faced with two inevitable defeats in a single and double match before we started, at the hands of Emmett Parry, National Boy Champion, we played the match, and fighting grimly, returned victorious by a score of 3-2. The next match was with our traditional North Shore opponents. Because of Loyola's win over St. Mel, the day previous, this match resulted in de- ciding thc winner of the championship of the Catholic Circuit. Captain Cassidy after dropping the first set 6-2, to Captain Pauly of Loyola, tightened and Won the second 6-3, but as the Fates would have it, lost the final 6-4. Finnigan, playing in his usual steady form out- pointed Lane of Loyola 6-4. Morand, after evening up at one piece with Rooney of Loyola, handed over the last set, ll-9 to him. VVhile Pomeroy and Butler were winning 6-2, 7-5, over Lane and McDermott of Loyola, Finnigan and Cassidy were slowly but surely going down before the onslaught of Pauly and Rooney of Loyola, which they finally lost, 6-2, G-2.

A warm reception awaited His 'Lordship upon his ar- rival in his new mission field. A host ot friends among whom he had formerly labored while connected with St. John's College of the city, greeted him at the dock. Lcd by brass bands, the Catholic school children and Sodalities passed in review. The following evening a public reception was tendered the new bishop by the citizens of Belize.

The Solemn Pontitical Mass held at the Holy Name Cathedral at the homecoming olf His Eminence, Cardinal Mundelein, was celebrated on May I3 by the Rt. Rev. Edmund M. Dunne, D. D., Bishop of Peoria. Bishop Dunne attended St. Ignatius from 1875 to 1879. Through an oversight in our last number of the PREP we omitted the name of Bishop Dunne from our list of St. Ignatius alumni bishops. VVe will therefore print the list again in lull. Rt. Rev. Joseph A. Murphy, S. J., D.

In our anxiety to find out what many of the boys were doing with themselves, we struck upon some interesting news: Arthur McQuillan is working at the switchboard for the Telephone Company, Ed Cullen is learning how to be an architect, Harry Van Pelt is with the Tribune, Joe Zid has become at farmer and his ruddy appearance showed that he must have spent most of his time on the plains of Vtlyoming or somcwhereg Al McMahon is traveling an uphill road in the insurance business, Corny Ford has turned to politics and finds great delight in tell- ing of his experiences at the City Hall, Larry Miller is working in a Law office and attending Law School at night, Bill Ahern is working at the VVestern Electric Company. All of the old gang was in high spirits which was clearly manifested by the way some began tackling the apparatus around the gym while Corney Ford featured with a bicycle race to the tune of HFrom One to 'l'wo,l7 played by Arthur Zerega. Later on refreshments were served which were of course heartily welcomed by all. A meeting was held in which it was de- cided that we have two or three such gatherings a year and that they need not be long-drawn- out-gab-fests, but will be limited to as short a time as possible, and to be followed by some kind of entertainment other than Marshall Moran's masterpiece entitled t'Little Orphan Annief' And so our next meeting will take place probably in October. Vile do not doubt that many are wondering why it is that the class of '23, Inigoes, as We call ourselves, is, as it were, unified. Why is it that we have clung together so as to make possible such a gathering? It is indeed un- usual, and when you stop to think of it, you conclude that there must be someone in back of it all who has great influence among us and has kept us under his careful guidance. There is such a person and one whom we need not commend to you. His worth to us is without bounds and his friendship a most desirable one. So it was with great pleasure that we were able to present, on this occasion, a gift, a token of our appreciation for his untiring efforts in our behalf, to Rev. Father Charles Meehan, S. J. llc, after all, deserves all credit for whatever may be said in praise of our class. 2 The boys up at Loyola are all happy to say that it will not be long before they will re- linquish the name of Freshies. VVe all welcome ye Ignatius Seniors to our domicile next year and we hope to see a great many of you accept the opportunity which the University offers. 272 IGNATIUS PREP We want to keep up the Ignatius standard which has prevailed at the north side institution and so you who are graduating and are as- pirants for more knowledge, Loyola is the place for you. So long, then, and we hope you will all have a merry old time this coming vacation. Note to Physics Prof.: Robert Scott received a mark of 98 in the last quarter exams in Physics. At the Rosary H. S. Prom we met our old friend Don XVilkins, '23, and he told us that he came in from Notre Dame for the dance, and that XVill Mathouse is attending a commercial school downtown, and that at th last meeting of the Chicago Club at South Bend, Bill Cerney, '20, Was elected President and that Chuck Collins, also '20, was named treasurer, and that Ignatius leadership springs up every- where and that you can't keep it down. EX '24 ln our roaming about the eity we met. some of the ex '24 men. VVallie Ambrose and Tom Kehoe are at Maurice li. Rothehild's. Tom is running the eighth floor while Wallie manages the sixth.

' After three weeks' absence Kelly showed up to prove that Nott wasn't the only f'Blizzard in the ring to sport long jeans. That seems to have been his only business. VVO haven't seen him sinee. Skeezix VValsh has put his Buster Brown stockings in mothballs. The class has been falling off in Sodality attendance. Wazamatter, fellows?

In the Finals Finan did very well with 'fCaught in the Act, while Lisle took the medal with ffHis First Attempt. The rest of the class helped by showing up in full force. Lisle will probably add the class medal to his collee- tion. He has been leading at the three quarters. Vfell, it's all over but the shouting. VVe want to see as many old faces as possible next year.
