' ;; 7 ? nrr Take a handful of buildings on a 1600-acre plot, throw in a few students, faculty mem¬ bers, books and sundries—and you have a campus. Take this same campus and locate it in the plains of northwestern Indiana—and you have St. Joseph ' s College. And a very interesting place it is, too. To prove our point, and to help you meet some of the fascinating people and things in Collegeville, we ' ve ar¬ ranged this free guided tour of the campus for you. Just follow the footsteps as we tour St. Joseph ' s in the 1954 PHASE. contents administration building . 6-11 cafeteria .12-15 xavier hall .16-21 publications building .22-29 science .30-47 noil hall.48-55 gaspar hall.56-63 seifert hall .64-75 raleigh hall.76-79 baseball diamond .80-85 football gridiron.86-93 fieldhouse .94-107 drexel hall . 108-117 off-campus .118-148 V ■2IIfi8i The first stop on our pictorial tour of the campus is Collegeville ' s Grand Central Sta¬ tion. A beehive by day and a tomb by night, the Administration Building houses the nerve centers of the campus—the president ' s, deans ' , registrar ' s, treasurer ' s offices. Inhabiting its up¬ per floors are the greater part of the college faculty and the brothers. In its basement, a seg¬ ment of the freshman class holds sway. The men of St. Joe traverse the worn main hall often—to stop in an administrative office for information or help, to visit the student bank, to check with the information desk on train and bus timetables—but always steering clear of that cubicle of calm for the instructor at the end of the corridor—the faculty room. Efficiency is the keynote of the Ad Building. Keeping a college of some 700 students, faculty, and assistants in working order requires the utmost in modern methods and in old-fashioned know-how, but the personnel of the Administra¬ tion Building seems to perform this, and to per¬ form it well. ■v - . • m mam . administration building Page seven The Most Rev. John B. Bennett, D.D. Bishop of Lafayette in Indiana and alumnus of St. Joseph ' s. The Very Rev. S. W. Oberhauser, C.Pp.S. Provincial of the Society of the Precious Blood and President of the Board of Control of St. Joseph ' s. At the head of any organization are the ad¬ ministrators, whose job is the maintenance of the proper function of the organization. So it is with St. Joseph ' s College.- Their administrators, from the bishop of the diocese on through the provincial of the order and the president to the lowest members of his staff, have consistently dealt ably with both the everyday and special¬ ized problems in the operation of the college. To their work and deep concern is due a great portion of the success which St. Joseph ' s has enjoyed in the field of Catholic education. The Very Rev. Raphael H.

In all places and at all jobs throughout the campus are the 16 Precious Blood brothers who labor in the local vineyard. To the left is Brother Henry Olberding. Below are, first row: Brothers Frederick Baechtel, Fidelis Bauer, John Bruney, Philip Buhrman, and John Kreuz- hermes. Second row: Brothers Conrad Leman- ski, Paulinus Mangan, Joseph Minch, Camillus Pollock, and Cletus Scheuer. Third row: Broth¬ ers David Schneider, Louis Stock, Gerard Von Hagel, Francis Werling, and Paul Werling. Page eleven Page thirteen Just south of the Administration Building are the diagonal walk and white double doors leading to the scene of many a student ' s hour of pleasure. For these form the entrance to the cafeteria, site of St. Joseph ' s far-famed college meals: a welcome aid in the pursuance of a scholastic career. St. Joseph ' s has become syn¬ onymous with good college food—almost a paradox at times. In both quality and quan¬ tity, Collegeville cuisine ranks near the top, and the men of St. Joe are among the first to proclaim this. Preparing the thousands upon thousands of meals is the task of another often-overlooked segment of St. Joseph ' s—the sisters of the Precious Blood order. Without fanfare, without compensation, these nuns go about their daily chores in silent, orderly fashion, striving only to give greater honor and glory to Almighty God by their sacrifices and daily work. cafeteria .. The guiding spirits behind the cafeteria are the sisters at St. Joseph ' s. Right: Sis¬ ters Appia, Joachim, Adelina, Anthony, Heribertha, and Emeliana relax in the convent parlor.

Francetta [below], who accedes to the position in her fourth year at the college. To her falls the mountainous task of pre¬ paring menus and ordering supplies. Page fifteen H . —1 ,, .... In the extreme southeast corner of the campus lies modern Xavier Hall, the College- ville home of some 60 students for the priest¬ hood. These seminarians live, work, and attend school at St. Joseph ' s as the regularly-enrolled students do, but keep an eye to the future when they will be able to put into practice those priestly attributes acquired here. The seminarian ' s stay in Collegeville is a short one—only two years. These two years of study form the equivalent of the freshman and sophomore years of college in the lay student ' s life. From St. Joseph ' s, the Xavierite will go to St. Charles Seminary, Carthagena, Ohio, where his final preparations for his chosen vocation will be made. Life is busy for the seminarian at St. Joseph ' s. Not only does he attend classes and partici¬ pate in the religious activities and exercises of the college, but he also earns his keep by serv¬ ing as handyman around the campus. Much of the neatness of the grounds can be laid to his time and effort. For his infrequent spare mo¬ ments, Xavier Hall can offer him a lounge, recreation rooms, and athletic fields. xavier Page seventeen j— rtyfar ‘ ' -Tinr iwr : ---- Vice-rector Rev.

Page twenty-one I ; ; At the end of the diagonal walk from the cafeteria, on the opposite side of the chapel from Xavier Hall, there stands a short, squat brick building—the birthplace of many an edi¬ torial gem and witty journalistic comment. The Publications Building officially houses the of¬ fices of the News Bureau, the director of publi¬ cations, the yearbook, newspaper, literary magazine, the Student Council, and the NFCCS. Unofficially it has housed the tears and sobs of STUFF editors over their missing copy, the shrieks of hysterical laughter when the last headline has been written, the staccato clacks of the faithful old Underwoods. publications building Page twenty-three Through the years, the Publications Building has watched the throngs of editors, moderators, staffmen, comlplainants, and admirers pqss through its single door and up its 13 steps to the journalism offices on the second floor. For many years now, publications have been its business. Lately, however, it has had new boarders: the campus-wide governors — the Student Council and the NFCCS—both of which now base their operations from the building. Page twenty-four Feeling justly proud of them¬ selves, this hardy trio — the three men most responsible for the pres¬ ent yearbook—scans an earlier draft of the 1954 PHASE for possible er¬ rors. This is obviously hard work and thus accounts for their shabby work clothes and grim concentration. Left is editor Buel Adams, while associate editor Frank Molson is at the right. They flank moderator Father James Hinton. phase These bright smiling faces show how relieved the staff is now that the yearbook is finally done. Scat¬ tered around are, left to right, Bob Michalski, John Hentschel, Ray Gregoire, copy editor Joe Kneip, Jim Zid, Ed Bozymski, sports editor Dick Obergfell, business manager Don Klingenberger, Jack McCarthy, art editor Lee Hixson, Bob VanHorn, Jerry Bednarkiewicz, Fred Didden, Bill Feely, John Good, Ray Sarlitto, Chuck Vietzen, and Jack Campbell. The heart of the PHASE staff gath¬ ers to consider another tough prob¬ lem. Present are Lee Hixson, Bill Feely, editor Buel Adams, Joe Kneip, Ray Sarlitto, Dick Obergfell, and associate editor Frank Molson. Other staffmen concentrate on work at hand, oblivious to the pho¬ tographer. In the foreground are Ed Bozymski, Bob Michalski, and Bob Brandt. In back, Bob VanHorn, Jack Campbell, Fred Didden, Ray Greg- oire, John White, and Dick Rezek concentrate. Page twenty-five phase For five months of the school -year, a cer¬ tain segment of the college population bar¬ ricades itself behind a closed door in a small office. This segment then attempts to recall to itself the happenings of the past two semesters and to present these happen¬ ings in somewhat legible form in a bound annual capriciously termed a ' ' yearbook. In such a small office and over a similar five-month period, the present volume drew its existence. It is the end-product of the efforts of many individuals—all of whom are glad to present it to you today, hope you are enjoying it, and are very, very happy the whole thing ' s finally finished. -riTOrr.-nr stuff Chronicler of campus events, recounter of biography, history, and fiction, bi-weekly enter¬ tainment medium for St. Joseph ' s—all these and more describe the local journalistic endeavor, STUFF. Through its columns pass some of the brightest, some of the wittiest prose ever penned at Collegeville. It also contains news at times. Proud of its unorthodox name and proud of the 17-year tradition behind it, STUFF outgrew its ancient format this year and pre¬ sented a new, bold front to the reader. Headed by a moderator with an eye toward future ex¬ pansion, STUFF in 1953-54 began the first step toward bigger and better times. STUFF staff for the paper ' s 17th year: seated, Buel Adams, photographic editor Myron Keel, John White, Tom Shworles, Chuck Vietzen, and Ray Goberville. Standing: Ray Gregoire, Ray Sarlitto, Fred Didden, John Good, feature editor Bill Feely, Bill Walker, sports editor Dick Obergfell, editor happy Joe Kneip, Jack McCarthy, Dick Bender, Ed Stepan, Roger Uecker, and Jim Booth. STUFF editor Joe Kneip and the paper ' s moderator, Father James Hinton, talk over growing pains of the bi-weekly sheet. MEASURE staffmen surrounding moderator Father Alvin Druhman are editor Frank Molson, Joe Barnett, John Good, Chuck Vietzen, Bill Walker, and John White. measure Channeling the literary resources of St. Joseph ' s into a semi-annual magazine is the task assumed each year by the staff of MEASURE, the third of the Collegeville family of publications. Original in all aspects, MEASURE provides elements of humor, fact, fiction, and surprise — the latter sometimes occurring upon the pub¬ lication ' s appearance. nfccs The National Federation of Cath¬ olic College Students on St. Joseph ' s campus prospered over the past year. Producing men for several high offices, including a national position, the group plugged away at its task of coordination and promo¬ tion of co-curricular activity both at Collegeville and in conjunction with Catholic colleges throughout the country. NFCCS campus leaders were: John White, Ed Stepan, Chuck Vietzen, apostolic coordinator Joe Barnett, senior delegate Ken Ryan, junior delegate and regional OSP chairman John Good, national treasurer and regional press commission chairman Buel Adams, Dick Rezek, Ray Goberville, and regional science commission chairman Frank Holzer. Page twenty-seven student council In their Noll Hall lounge meeting place, members of the Student Council relax from their administrative duties long enough to pose informally for the photographer. Seated are Council president Hugh Mc- Avoy, senior class president Bernie Boff, treasurer Jim Zid, secretary Maurie Garvey, vice president John Quinn, and freshman class president Fred Andres. Standing are Inter-Club Committee presi¬ dent Bill Fremgen, sophomore class presi¬ dent John White, and junior class presi¬ dent Will Kellogg. I ? --C- ' ' kC As in most colleges, the hub in the wheel of campus life at St. Joe is the Student Council. The nine-man organ¬ ization, consisting of the four officers, the four class presidents, and the president of the Inter-Club Committee, issues rules and regulations controlling student activities and promotes social events on campus. The Council members are elected annually. Student Council officers, seated, are Hugh McAvoy and John Quinn. Standing are Jim Zid, Bernie Boff, Will Kellogg, Bill Fremgen, John White, Fred Andres and Maurie Garvey. Assisting the Student Council in its deliberations are two auxiliary- organizations, the Inter-Club and Inter-Hall Committees. Member¬ ship in the former consists of the presidents of all recognized campus clubs; the latter contains one representative from each campus hall. From the interest group of each, information and requests are tun¬ neled to the Council. inter-hall committee Members of the Inter- Hall Committee gather for a few moments of fresh air before plunging into the rigors of duty once more. Seated is IHC chair¬ man Maurie Garvey. Standing are John Don¬ nelly, Drexel Hall; Joe Houser, Gaspar Hall; Hugo Pennington, West Seifert; and Ray Ramirez, Science dorm. Page twenty-nine Leaders in the co-curricular ac¬ tivities of St. Joseph ' s are these club presidents, here gathered in one array for common edifica¬ tion. Present are: Dick Kotheimer, Columbian Players; Ken Ryan, NFCCS senior delegate and ICC sub-chairman; George Kuhn, Al- bertus Magnus Society; Cotter Tharin, Geology Club; Bernie Boff, Commerce Club; ICC chair¬ man Bill Fremgen, History Club; Elmer Molchan, Glee Club and Lake County Club; Joe Barnett, Don Bosco Club; Joe Kneip, STUFF; and John Good, San- guinist Club. inter ' Club committee Page thirty-one In what building would you be most likely to find a collection of snakes, a barber shop, a college library, an auditorium, a goodly number of noisy freshmen, and classrooms of all sizes, shapes, and descriptions? St. foe ' s Science Hall can claim the honor. It is to this rambling double-winged building that the student plods instructorward each day, for here are the majority of the campus classrooms and laboratories. Day after day, geology profs lecture on geology, English profs on English, and Brother Dave on the fortunes of the Cin¬ cinnati Reds. On the southeastern side of the building, a black-robed librarian rules with a stern hand. Farther north, a collection of freshmen have made their lair. Extracurriculcrrs and co-curriculars may float by, but the college still centers around the old red-bricked struc¬ ture and its bells at ten till and on the hour. science MW?

At left is a general mob scene, while below instructor Father William Kramer explains the finer points of a siz¬ zling compound to fresh¬ man Grant Shuflitowski. albertus magnus society The cream of the science majors is the field from which members of the Albertus Magnus Society are selected. The Society, an honorary group for anyone whose prin¬ cipal interests lie within scientific bounds, annually culls only the best for its rolls, maintaining the high standards for itself that have become synonymous with the Albertus Magnus name. Among activities of the Society are study programs, short talks, and discussions by members. On the rolls of the Albertus Mag¬ nus Society this year were: First row: president George Kuhn. Second row: Frank Holzer, George Mach, and Bill Zimmer. Third row: Dick Kotheimer, John Hentschel, and Ray Sarlitto. Fourth row: Don Prullage, Ron Konczalski, and Jerry Walke. biology club V .

Columbian players The oldest club on campus, and one of the most unique: the Columbian Players in its 62nd year of existence acquired a new director, new talent, and some tried-and-true plays and parleyed these into another delightful season. The club itself began a year after the founding of the college, mainly as a literary and debate society, though some plays were produced on a minor scale. As it continued year by year, populated by the seminarians who were in those days the only collegiate inhabitants of Collegeville, it became a bi-weekly meeting where short skits were presented or debates held. Under the Columbian Literary Society label, the organization re¬ mained primarily a discussion group until secular students began to enroll in increasing numbers at St. Joseph ' s. With the four-year college of nonpriesthood students now a fact, seminarians dropped out of the Columbian Literary Society which gained new members—- the secular students; a new purpose—dramatic rather than forensic; and a new name—the Columbian Players. Proud of their long tradition and heritage, the CP ' s strive to better themselves each year and make each production ' ' the best ever. Page thirty-six Columbian players Variety in thespian fare has been the diet of the Colum¬ bian Players for their past season. In the spring of 1953, the CP ' s produced two one-act plays in the round, the first arena-style productions ever to-be held at St. Joe. The pair of short comedies were ' ' Red Carnations and It Isn ' t Done. For their major opus, the Players chose the war¬ time drama, The Hasty Heart. Beginning the current season, another modern classic in a similar vein, The Home of the Brave, was staged in the College Theater. No sooner had the last curtain fallen, however, than the organization was already planning the remainder of the year ' s bill: three student-directed arena one-acters and The Male Animal as the season finale. Scenes from Columbian Players productions of the past year are depicted below. Those plays represented are: Red Carnations, It Isn ' t Done, The Hasty Heart ' and The Home of the Brave. Page thirty-seven Probably the main factor in the sudden growth of St. Joseph ' s Glee Club to some¬ what moderate fame has been the work of the group ' s director, Father Lawrence Heiman. Taking a mediocre organization of students who sang mostly for their own pleasure and building it within four years to a chorus which presents dozens of concerts each year and has to turn down requests for dozens more, Father Heiman has created a solid nucleus of singers to fulfill future plans which grow larger as each year progresses. glee club Singing their way before more than 40,000 people this past year were these men of the St. Joe Glee Club. First row: R. VanHorn, D. Prusak, T. Shworles, G. Kuhn, and G. Liebforth. Second row: D. Gillig, R. South wood, W. Walsko, and R. Schuessler. Third row: R. Rohlof, J. Willekens, C. Rohan, W.

Though used mainly as inspiration-arousers at Puma athletic contests, the aggregation also finds .time to put on two public concerts each year. Specializing mainly in the light classics and perennially popular music, the group can render Rossini or kick around Kern with equal ease. A splinter group of the main organization has consol¬ idated itself as the college swing band and is on hand for the numerous Collegeville mixers and dances, besides participating in outside engagements. The swing band arranges many of its own selections. Directing the St. Joe college Band for the past two years has been Father Clement Kuhns, he of the baton and podium set. Father here indicates that he wants the band to slow the tempo down a bit. Or else pick it up. Or else stay on key. Or something . . . At ease after a tough concert are band members, first row: J.

A common hometown and area provide the ties that bind for two campus organizations: the Lake County and Chicago Clubs. The first welcomes men from the Gary -Hammond - Whiting Lake County region of Indiana. The latter is populated by a large segment of St. Joseph ' s en¬ rollment—those from the Chicago area.

Located approximately midway on campus, it has become the favorite thoroughfare of stu¬ dent traffic when class bells beckon. On the lower floor the all-knowing junior is allowed his romping space. Here, any day and in any room you meet the junior, sometimes studying, other times idling, and most often just sleeping. But ascending upstairs you enter the domain of the sophomores, kindred in spirit to the jun¬ ior, but less wily and experienced. Noll presents a cross-section of Collegeville humanity to the roving eye—typical noises, typical students, typical hall. . Page forty-nine junior class officers Handed the fortunes of Class ' 55 dur¬ ing its junior year of college were [left]: president Willard Kellogg, vice-presi¬ dent John Donnelly, secretary Samuel Governale, and treasurer Joseph Giuf- fre.

Though its numbers have decreased since that month, the class has always set out to prove school spirit meant more than mere words. This year was no exception, with the election of Maurie Garvey and John Quinn to posts on the Student Council as the initial achievements. As their renowned football skit, directed by John Good and starring Don Merki, was being staged, Puma grid- ders John Donnelly, Hugo Pennington, Pete Fenlon, Dave Krigbaum, Clayton Klein, Bob Lavender, Tom Dudeck, and Bernie Klopack were waging warfare on the striped field. On the academic side of the picture, Dick Bender, Larry Doherty, Bill Feely, George Kalafut, George Mach, and Earl Maier led their class.

Proudly bearing the name of the founder of the Precious Blood Society, Gaspar tradi¬ tionally has served as a freshman residence. Rejuv¬ enated in the recent campus rehabilitation, however, Gaspar now houses the major part of the sophomore class. Neither high nor low man on the campus totem pole, the sophomore here enters upon a new phase of college life. With one eye turned toward the future and the other cast dubiously at the noise upstairs, he strives to mould himself into a better replica of student and gentleman. Gaspar Hall — bookstore, stone steps and her quaint, squatish shape—all three set her off from the other college edifices. Familiar Gaspar in the spring with countless sophomores scattered up and down the 13 stone steps to her entrance. gaspar hall Page fifty-seven I sophomore class officers Chosen after a six day, eight ballot vot¬ ing marathon were: president John White, vice-president Edward Hennekes, secre¬ tary Timothy O ' Brien, and treasurer Jo¬ seph Maher. Under their guidance the sophomore class completed the initiation of the largest freshman class in history- Through their efforts the unique sopho¬ more Mass program also was begun, whereby the class received Communion in a body once a week. sophomores Although just out of its infancy, the sopho¬ more class of ' 54 took its place as a large fac¬ tor in St. Joseph ' s life. Its first splash was the adoption of its Mass program in which the class received Communion in a body once a week. Equally newsworthy was the emergence of the White House as living quarters for some twenty sophomores. Joe Kneip was named edi¬ tor of STUFF, and the Columbian Players were bolstered by Jack Carlson and Terry Flynn. The Dean ' s List carried the names of Joe Bar¬ nett, Marv Hackman, Joe Maher, Don Prullage, Karl Rohan, Gene Rihm, Roger Uecker, and Jim Wright. Merle Effing, Ray Ramirez, Pete Higgens, Cal Kania, Bob Walsh, Paul Danko, and John White added strength to the football squad. Tim O ' Brien earned a starting berth on the basketball team; Marv Hackman, Bemie Horn and Ed O ' Rourke were also other mem¬ bers of the squad.

T - On the west side of the campus, facing a cluster of pines, squats Seifert Hall, a double¬ winged, two-storied, entrenchment of the young¬ est of St. Joe student life. Occupying a position of honor in front of the red-bricked edifice, a statue of St. Joseph ' s first president stands stern, still honored and respected by all. But it is fortunate that Father Seifert cannot turn around, for what goes on behind his back might change that stone cold expression on his face to one of chagrin. For Seifert Hall bears proudly the reputation of one of the noisiest, tumultuous halls on the campus, much to the dismay of the ever-loving junior prefects cornered in the hall. Settling down to college life for a freshman undoubtedly is year-long clamor and turbulence, but what would college life be without its pranks and devilishness? seifert Page sixty-five freshman class officers . Selected by the class of ' 57 to guide their college baby days, were secretary Robert Gasior, treasurer Edward Arenz, president Frederick Andres, and vice-president Harold Newman. The green beanie crew gave evidence of their future mettle by staging a revolt, during ini¬ tiation, and tossing a select few of their second-year oppressors into the icy waters of the pond. freshmen September, 1953, saw more green beanies than ever before on the St. Joe campus as the class of ' 57 numbered a record breaking 344. During the traditional initiation, highlighted by a highly controversial revolt, Jack McKiel was named Rookie President. First of the class on the Dean ' s List were Gene Eifrid, Bob Fox, Don Adams, George Archibald, Ed Dwyer, John Gass, Ron Keller, Bob Koblesky, Jerry O ' Daniel, Tony Smith, A1 Stryck, Chuck Vietzen, Gene Wuest, and A1 Greto. First year thespians appearing in CP plays were Frank De Sana, Ed Stepan, Ed Hebda, and James Thompson. Interested in work for the publications of the campus were Chuck Vietzen and John White. Outstanding frosh gridders were Bill Bazil, Joe Rossi, Jerry Campagna, Gibby Parent, Bernie Taillon, John St. Mary, and Frank Szymanski.

This mecca of repose is Raleigh Hall, or the Rec hall, as it is more popularly known, situated adjacent to the Fieldhouse. Page seventy-seven The biggest single attraction the Rec hall offers is the mixers held in conjunction with several nearby girls ' colleges. Moreover, the Rec hall even serves as a theater; the Colum¬ bian Players present their annual arena pro¬ ductions in the main room of Raleigh.

V1-2S dances and mixers In the few years of its existence the Rec hall ' s one great asset has been the many dances and mixers held in it. This year was no exception; a new high in mixers was reached both in number and success. Moreover, two informal dances—the Midnight Revels and Mardi Gras—- provided not only dancing but an opportunity to hear tuneful, rhythmic combo-music. Page seventy-nine lipfy ■ ■ ■ ' ■ ■ ' w.

Few, if any. An d, therefore, many students flock to Collegeville ' s spacious field, located on the western edge of the campus. There they watch the Puma batters pound the famous little white spheroid and live once again their own pipe dreams of baseball renown. With the pitcher they limber up for the big one; out in the field they shag down the towering flies and stop that grass roller at third; batting at the plate they feel the tension mount with the 3 and 2 pitch imminent, the bags loaded, and the score knotted.

To add to their glory, Bob Wasni was voted the out¬ standing player of the 1953 season in Indiana Collegiate Conference competition. He also joined teammate Ralph Meyer on the All-Con¬ ference squad. Bob carried the big stick for the Pumas; he batted .375 through six conference games, set two marks by clubbing four home runs and driving in 13 tallies. In 16 Puma contests Bob hit a total of six home runs and had a season average of .469. Skip Meyer topped all conference participants in batting and in fielding.

The first win in ICC competi¬ tion came as Gerba and Dwinell flat¬ tened Ball State 12-11 and 11-5 in a twin bill on the Puma diamond. A double win over Butler came via an ineligible Bulldog catcher. Chicago U. was unable to break the Puma spell as it bit the dust for the fourth time at the hands of the home nine. Lewis next was downed 6-5 as George Smolar stole home to climax a thrill-packed contest before an overflow Parents ' Day crowd. In an attempt for their tenth win the Pumen were turned down by the conference champs, Valpo, 10-5. Joe Pin- baseball dell and Ted Ashburner teamed up for a 12-8 ICC victory over Indiana State on prom day. Bob Wasni collected two homers and a single to lead the attack. Revenge was sweet as Dick Dwinell and crew poured on the steam to whip the Valpo Crusaders 12-5. The Pumas continued to roll on. Ted Ashburner and Bill Schulte combined efforts to down Indiana Central ' s Greyhounds. Ted spaced eight hits and held the visitors to a single run and Schulte led his teammates in compiling 10 hits and eight runs. Wa¬ bash visited Pumaville to close the 1953 season with a twin bill and they became the second team to emerge victorious. But the victory did not come easily. In the first game Dick Dwinell pitched four-hit ball and allowed only one run, the Pumas collecting three tallies to win another. Wabash had too much power for the home nine in the second contest.

It doesn ' t matter whether the stocky blond quarterback that threw the touchdown pass was a high-paid, convertible-driving athlete or a Dean ' s List student working for his math de¬ gree.

Page eighty-eight football In spite of a series of unfortunate injuries and bad breaks, the Puma gridders of 1953 did manage to salvage two victories out of their eight-game schedule. The win-loss record, how¬ ever, is very misleading. On at least two occa¬ sions, the Pumas completely outplayed their opponents throughout the entire first three per¬ iods only to fold in the final quarter. This last quarter weakness was not a matter of inability to perform under pressure nor was it due to a lack of spirit. It was simply a ques¬ tion of depth, or rather, a lack of depth. This was especially true regarding the Puma line where standouts such as John Thorpe, Fred Even the cornerman got nervous at the tight action below.

Although the season was far from success¬ ful, the Pumas did, on occasion, display a fine brand of football. The Pumas opened the 1953 season in fine fashion by handing the Bees of St. Ambrose a 14-7 setback. This marked the first time that the St. Joe men had ever defeated a St. Ambrose grid team. The first St. Joe score came in the first quarter on a sneak from six yards out by Bill Zimmer after Ed Linskey had recovered an Ambrose fumble deep in their own territory. Alert line play again accounted for the second Puma TD when John Thorpe broke through to block an Am¬ brose punt and Fred Handler recovered on the Bee 28-yard line. Two plays later Zim¬ mer scored his second touchdown with Ray Ramirez again kicking the extra point. On Oct. 3 the Crusaders of Valparaiso University invaded the St. Joe campus for the first home game of the season. The re¬ sult—a decisive 45-7 win for the visitors. Bob Lavender provided the only bright spot of the game, as far as Puma supporters were concerned, when he raced 30 yards around end for the only St. Joe score of the day. Inability to complete a forward pass proved to be the Pumas ' downfall one week later when they faced Indiana State. The Pumas held a 14-7 advantage at halftime, and in the third period moved the ball to the Sycamore two-yard line. Here a Zimmer aerial was intercepted and run back 93 yards, setting the stage for the tying score. From this point on, it was a State ball game —final score: Indiana State 23, St. Joe 14.

The final St. Joe score came in the final stanza on a 68-yard pass from Zimmer to Pete Fenlon. On Oct. 23 the Pumas bowed to Evansville 26-6, for their fourth defeat in five games. The men of coach Pawlowski completely folded in the last quarter, Evansville breaking through the St. Joe defense for three touch¬ downs in the final fifteen minutes. Bill Zim¬ mer accounted for the Pumas ' six-pointer when he connected on a third-quarter toss to Pete Fenlon. The following week the Pumas dropped a fiercely-fought contest to the Ball State Card¬ inals, 14-6. The greater part of the game was played between the thirty-yard lines. Jerry Campagna plunged four yards in the second period for the St. Joe marker.

The Pumas pounded out their second win of the season at the expense of the Green Knights of St. Norbert by a score of 12-7.. The Puma line put on a display of iron-man foot¬ ball—every lineman played the entire 60 minutes, a lot of football. Klein scored both of the Puma markers, the first on a pass play from Bill Zimmer that covered 60 yards, and the second on a three-yard plunge. Against Lewis, the Pumas received the kickoff and twelve plays later Gibby Parent, freshman halfback, scampered across on a double reverse. By midway in the second period the Pumas had compiled a 21-6 lead. The Flyers, however, could not be held down. At halftime the deficit had been cut to one point, 21-20, and within two minutes af¬ ter the start of the second half Lewis led, 26-21. In the latter part of the third stanza the Pumas scored what seemed to be the winning touchdown when Pete Fenlon fell on a blocked Lewis punt in the end zone. With St. Joe in possession later on the Lewis two, and with only two minutes to go, the Pumas managed to fumble, the Flyers recovered, and their halfback scampered to paydirt on a 92-yard dash.

Throughout the winter months these cheers fill the fieldhouse as St. Joseph ' s basketball team entertains the oppos¬ ing members of the Indiana Collegiate Confer¬ ence. Indiana has often been called the hotbed of basketball, and this fact becomes evident as the season unfolds at St. Joseph ' s. The Collegeville court, every last board of it, has been kind to the Pumas in the last few years. Defeating Butler, a previously unbeat¬ able foe, has become a habit on the home floor. Arch-rival Valparaiso has also met with disas¬ ter in the Puma lair. Backed by a loyal student body, St. Joseph ' s has developed a reputation throughout Indiana as a tough team to beat. However, on certain evenings of the year, an amazing transformation takes place under the spacious roof of the Collegeville Coliseum. Dainty and demure females replace towering basketball players during the Homecoming fes¬ tivities and Prom night. Memories of these eve¬ nings added to those of the basketball season render the fieldhouse truly unforgettable. ilia ’t fieldhouse Page ninety-five Page ninety-six basketball WE THEY 77. _Anderson . .71 64... .DePauw . .68 87. .Illinois Tech . .73 73.. ..Illinois Wesleyan .89 60-...- ..Wabash . .76 64. .Evansville . .68 88. .Franklin . .80 73. .Great Lakes . .108 86. .DePauw . .78 68. _Valparaiso . .84 75_ _Ball State . .77 78.Bellarmine .76 59.... .Butler . .85 84. .Butler . .67 65. .Indiana State . .80 62. .Evansville . .70 81.... ..Valparaiso . .66 71.. .Indiana State . .80 82. .Ball State . .60 71_ .St. Norbert . .73 Coach Dick Scharf strikes a familiar pose during a practice ses¬ sion.

[ For the fourth straight year, Coach Dick Scharf held the reins of the St. Joseph ' s varsity basketball team. The young Puma squad, under his able leadership, finished the season with a 8-12 record. Highlighting the 1953-54 season was the play of junior center Don Merki. The big pivot man led his teammates, as well as the entire con¬ ference, in scoring. Don finished the season with a 23.3 average. The Puma star also ranked second in conference rebounding, and set a new conference mark by scoring a record 16 free throws against Indiana State. But the big junior ' s outstanding V basketball feat was his record-smashing 468 points, a single season high for St. Joe basketeers. Merki broke the record with a 25 point outburst against Indiana State. Thus Don became the first Puma to score 400 points in one season. The all-time four year mark is 1067 set by Jack Dwyer in the 1952-53 season. Merki ' s three year output is 999. Willie Kellogg and Tim O Brien, both return¬ ing lettermen, were stalwarts at the guard posi¬ tions. Both were rated among the top 20 scor¬ ers in the Indiana Collegiate Conference. Kel¬ logg registered a 13.3 average, while O ' Brien finished with a 9.6 mark. Terry MacCarthy, playing his first year of varsity ball, held down a forward position for the latter part of the season. The 6 ' 2 junior came through with some needed rebounding and scoring. 1 basketball After a disappointing sophomore year, Chet Pilat came into his own this season and proved a definite asset to the St. Joe team. Besides being an able scorer and rebounder, Chaz could always bring the crowd to its feet with one of his special shots. The Pumas opened the season by defeat¬ ing the Alumni, 85-67, in the annual opening tilt in the fieldhouse. Merki gave the fans a preview of what was to come as he netted 23 points to lead both teams. The Anderson Ravens followed the Alumni to a similar fate. The Ravens, who finished second in the HCC, led 33-30 at half time, but could not equal the last half firing of the Pumas. The final score was 77-71. Merki again led the scorers with 20 points. Willie Kellogg finished with 19 markers. St. Joe traveled to DePauw to open the ICC season. This was the first year for the Tigers in the ICC and they showed no fear of last year ' s co-champs. Center Gene Loercher and Forward Bob Schrier teamed up to turn back the Pumas, 68-64. The Collegeville crew bounced back from their first loss of the season to whip Illinois Tech, 87-73. The Tech Hawks led their hosts percentage-wise, but couldn ' t manage as many field goal attempts. Chet Pilat with 20 points and Merki with 19 led the victors. Coach Scharf ' s charges didn ' t fare as well against another Illinois squad, Wesleyan. Out- scoring their out-of-state rivals only in the fourth period proved to be the downfall of St. Joseph ' s. It was Don Merki again with 26 points leading the Pumas. Willie Kellogg tallied 25 with his long two-handers and jump shots. Wabash and ICC foe Evansville each con¬ tributed to a three game losing streak. The Cavemen from Wabash handed the Pumas their first home court loss of the season, 76-60. Leading 64-63 with less than a minute of game time remaining, it looked as if the Col¬ legeville five would take their first conference victory at the expense of the Evansville Aces. But an untimely field goal and a free throw snatched victory from the Pumas and they fell, 68-64. basketball St. Joe succeeded in winning its sixth game in 13 tries at the expense of the Bellarmine Knights at New Albany, Ind. Once again it was Merki leading the scorers with 30 points. A home and home engagement with Butler followed, and the Pumas managed to split with the Bulldogs. A Butler jinx held sway over St. Joe as they dropped the first game at Indianap¬ olis. But in a return engagement, St. Joe upset the league champs in a thrilling exhibition of basketball. Pilat and Merki led the scorers in an 84-67 win but it was definitely a team vic¬ tory. Indiana State, which was later chosen to represent the ICC in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics tournament, had little trouble in disposing of the Pumas. A win over Franklin and the worst defeat of the season were in store for the Pumas in their next two encounters. Franklin, another Hoosier Conference foe, was stopped 88 to 80. Great Lakes met the Pumas at Hammond ' s Civic Center and the Sailors took a lopsided contest by a 108 to 73 score. Don Merki set a single game scoring mark with 29 counters. St. Joe picked up its first conference victory over DePauw, but dropped the next two games to ICC opponents, Valpo and Ball State. Over¬ coming a 52-45 halftime deficit in the DePauw game, Tim O ' Brien and Willie Kellogg began scoring and the Pumas won their first league tilt, 86-78. Valpo then played host to the St. Joe squad and the Crusaders, most ungraciously, over¬ came a nine point margin and went on to win, 84-68. A Ball State substitute pushed through a bas¬ ket in the last minute of play to give the Card¬ inals a 77-75 win over the Pumas at Muncie. Page ninety-nine ™ basketball ICC co-champ Evansville found St. Joe easy prey for the second time and walked off with a 70-62 victory. A last quarter rally, spear¬ headed by Merki and Kellogg, failed to close the gap. St. foe broke even in the four remaining games of the season. Indiana State and St. Nor- bert ' s were able to best the St. Joe squad while Valparaiso and Ball State met defeat at the hands of the Pumas. An overconfident Valpo squad met disaster at St. Joseph ' s as the Pumas displayed some of their best ball of the season in blasting their arch rivals, 81-66. A brilliant fourth quarter, highlighted by Pilat ' s uncanny shotmaking, insured the victory. Merki and Pilat were the big scorers of the game. Don Merki passed the 400 mark in scoring, but his 26 points were not enough as the Indi¬ ana State Sycamores took a league tilt, 80-71, at Terre Haute. The teams played on even terms for the first half, but State gradually pulled away and built up a commanding margin. A last minute rally by St. foe fell short, and St. foe lost its eleventh game of the season. Ball State was featured in the final home game of the season, and the Cardinals were unable to repeat an earlier conquest over the Pumas. Merki, Kellogg, O ' Brien, and Boff all scored well as St. Joe came away with an 82-60 win. In their final showing of the season, the Pumas were edged by St. Norbert ' s of Wis¬ consin. A nip and tuck battle all the way, the game was marked by several gallant rallies by St. Joe. John Tully ' s last second jump shot rolled off the rim of the basket and St. Norbert ' s cele¬ brated a 72-70 win. Merki raised his season total to 468 points with a 29 point effort in the season finale. ,. .. . j v basketball The St. Joseph junior varsity team is composed of freshmen, many of whom see considerable varsity ac¬ tion before the end of the season. Kneeling: Hank Lewandowski, A1 Greto, Gene Eifrid, and Don Wei- shaar. Standing: Pat Mannion, John O ' Toole, John Tully, Dan Fenker, Dave Kuhlman, Don Bredemann, and Jim Noll. The unsung heroes of the basketball season; cannon fodder for the varsity; future stars of the hardwood: all these titles can be applied to the young men pictured on this page. St. Joseph ' s junior varsity basketball team showed tremendous potential in several JV games throughout the season. Losses to Valpo and Indiana State were balanced by victories over Ball State and several industrial teams in this area. These are the boys that gave the varsity the reserve strength so necessary for a college basketball team. Fenker, Tully, and Noll broke in to the varsity lineup and per¬ formed creditably. Next year, several others are expected to make their presence known on the varsity squad. Page one hundred one golf The Puma hook and slice men are in the woods again. But don ' t let the surroundings fool you; the greater part of their time was spent in the mid¬ dle of the fairway. These birdie chasers are Jack Lillig, Tom Everling, Tom Powell, Merle Effing, and Coach Fr. Joseph Smolar. During 1953 the Puma linksmen won only one of five matches but showed a great deal of promise, especially late in the season. The lone victory came at the expense of Bellarmine College of Louisville. The match was held at Brook Country Club and the final score was IIV 2 to 6 V 2 for the Pumas. Other opponents included Valpo, Wabash, and Evansville. Only two meets were scheduled for the track team. St. Joe finished third in a meet with Valpo and Ball State, and placed fourth in the ICC meet at Butler. track These thinly clad youngsters seem to en¬ joy picking their way through the cinders.

Page one hundred two e intramural bowling intramural minor sports Any taste in athletics could be filled this year in St. Joseph ' s extensive intramural program. Football, basketball, bowling, and softball hold the interest of most of the students. Early in the fall, a newly formed soccer league was ini¬ tiated in the freshman gym classes. With the coming of the winter months volleyball and ping pong go hand and hand with basketball and bowling. Page one hundred three In intramural bowling the Kingpins walked off with the first round of the upperclassman league. The Luns were the first round leaders in the freshman league. The highest bowlers were selected to represent St. Joe in the Midwest Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Such teams as Valparaiso, Notre Dame, and DePaul are included in this very rough league. ■ mam i§ ' • mm mm The graceful ballerinas ca¬ vorting at the left are examples of one kind of dancing seen on the fieldhouse floor.

Below, right: Student Coun¬ cil President Hugh McAvoy welcomes interested visitors at the registration desk. The first Sunday in May is traditionally set aside for a very important and very special campus activity, Parents ' Day. As with every college, the students of St. Joseph ' s choose one day a year to honor their parents, who have made it possible for them to obtain their high¬ er education. A continuous program of entertainment is provided for the parents on this day. Special tours are conducted throughout the campus at regular intervals for the benefit of newcomers to St. Joseph ' s. In the past years, a baseball game opens the entertainment, but the focus of interest later shifts to the fieldhouse where the college band, under the direction of Rev. Clement Kuhns, en¬ tertains the visitors with a short concert. The Glee Club then joins the band, giving a pro¬ gram including numbers of both classical and popular nature. In the late afternoon, Benediction is held in the college chapel, followed by a procession to the grotto where the rosary is said. A performance by the Columbian Players usually highlights the evening. Page one hundred five Into the wee hours of the morning, the men of St. Joe celebrated the Homecoming week end. Roger Peter- ka and Don Herr seem to have dif¬ ferent opinions of the combo, but both seem to be enjoying them¬ selves. Prom time at Collegeville. On May 9, 1953, 170 couples danced to America ' s Smartest Music provided by Dick Carlton and his band. Formal attire was the rule of the day, as the couples swayed under tinted spotlights creating the atmosphere of a Serenade in Blue. Other decorations added to the theme. Following the prom, a supper party held in Raleigh Hall provided a perfect climax to a memorable evening. junior prom What is it about prom time that changes the dull, drab in¬ struments of everyday life into enameled objects of another world?

Lower right: The Homecoming dance—and a good time was had by all. homecoming The highpoint of the autumn social season is the annual Homecoming dance. Although honoring the past graduates of the college, it is enjoyed by alumni and students alike. This year ' s Homecoming festivities were held Oct. 16 through 18. First on the schedule was a hayride held Friday evening. Following the hayride, a barn dance was held in Raleigh Hall. The Homecoming queen was chosen Saturday afternoon, and she and her court watched as the Pumas dropped an ICC contest to the Butler Bulldogs. Jimmy Stier provided the music for the big dance in the evening. Following the Homecoming dance, the Midnight Revels were held in Raleigh Hall, featur¬ ing Willie Jones and his very popular combo. Page one hundred seven _ _ ' 5 : • ' y+tr Somewhat obscured by a group of pine trees, a quarter of a mile from route 53, Drexel Hall casts its formidable silhouette against the horizon. Here reside many of the upper classmen of the college. Although somewhat antiquated, somewhat ravaged by time, Drexel stands firm and steady, ably protecting all that tread her sacred corridors. The hall itself tends to infuse into its occu¬ pants a virile spirit of responsibility by allow¬ ing them certain privileges not enjoyed by residents of the other halls of the campus. For this reason, among others, residence in Drexel is desired by many of the students. Upon entering its portals, one comes upon a true picture of college life [see opposite page]. Here and there one will always find the citizens of tomorrow expounding the contemporary problems of the world. Besides the multi-shaped rooms, the senior hall also boasts its own private chapel, lounge, and courtyard. drexel hall Page one hundred nine senior class officers Upon the shoulders of these men lay the responsibility of guiding the senior class. With an unselfish devotion to duty, president Bernie Boff [center] and fellow officers Keith Forton, Vince Agnew, and Bill Zimmer led the seniors through their last year toward that big day in June. seniors The seniors are backing the Pumas. The class of ' 54 chose this as their motto in September and followed it faithfully throughout the year. School spirit perhaps reached its greatest heights during the senior-sponsored pep rally, Sound-Off, which starred Buel Adams, Ken Ryan, and Bernie Boff. On the gridiron, Bill Zimmer, John Thorpe, Ed Linskey, and Fred Handler were senior varsity members. Jim Righeimer did a great job as a student assistant coach. Bernie Boff was the only senior on the basketball squad. Senior Hugh McAvoy served creditably as president of the Student Council. Bill Fremgen headed the Inter-Club Committee as did Bill Kun the Father Falter Post. Elmer Molchan served as president of both the Lake County Club and the Glee Club while A1 LaTorra led the Biology Club. Buel Adams turned out the ' 54 edition of PHASE and Frank Molson successfully edited MEASURE.

Page one hundred sixteen graduation The last stop before the sen¬ ior leaves St. Joseph ' s forever ■—as a student—is the College Theater stage, where he kneels to receive his bachelor ' s cer¬ tificate: one small piece of parchment that symbolizes the knowledge of four years ' cumu¬ lation and the fruition of four years ' effort.. He gains the parchment, but leaves behind his many million footsteps on the grounds of St. Joseph ' s . . . and his many million memor¬ ies. ROBERT L.

STEAKS t CHOfS j RAHCHHOUSE I kbhsiM We now come to the end of the journey through the 1954 PHASE. The footsteps that have brought you to the edge of the campus must remain at the college. We have tried to give you a picture of life on the campus at St. Joseph ' s and we hope you have enjoyed the excursion. However, the life you have seen unfolded page by page is not the complete picture. There are other factors off-campus contributing to the total story. The Calumet Center exten¬ sion of St. Joseph ' s in Whiting, founded only two years ago, has already an enrollment of several hundred, and provides the opportunity of advanced education for those who cannot afford the time or money for a full-scale college program. Besides the extension, the alumni and friends of the college and the people and places of the nearby town of Rensselaer all combine to add their integral part to the final over-all pic¬ ture of St. Joe life. The footsteps must end now, but the life goes on ... off-campus i Page one hundred nineteen patrons Mr. Joseph S. Homey Mr. Paul Stepuszek Mr. and Mrs. William Hogan Mr. and Mrs. Anthony A.
