But there are also days when play or prayer is the order of the day. They are sometimes exciting, sometimes boring, but all are students’ days. This year PHASE shows the typical day of the typical student. Starting with Mass in the morning and ending with studies in the evening, the Student’s Day is a blend of classes, sports, and social activities. These vocations and avoca¬ tions—his religion, his studies, his games, his social life—make the student and his day. ARE MADE OF THESE A concrete reminder of approaching Christmas is the crib with its halo of statuettes depicted Christ’s birth. The two statues set in niches at the top of the Ad Building are not as noticeable as the Twin Towers because they aren’t as large, or the statue of Father Seifert because they aren’t on the ground, but none-the-less they are landmarks and memorable scenes. Benediction is a daily campus event which officially closes the day just as Mass opens it. One feels at peace with God and the world when the day is thus ended. The solemn feast of Christmas finds the Chapel decorated for the coming of the Christ-child. This is Christmas at St. Joseph’s. The campus, as seen from the highway, is one of the most scenic views in this part of the country. This scene, or one like it in another sea¬ son, will probably be the one remembered as St. Joseph—the college. The Infirmary will always be remembered as the place for free cold pills, and the porch swings which were never empty in fair weather. FOR FUTURE The statue of Father Seifert, the college’s first president is the best known statue on campus out¬ side of those in the Grotto, and the most-used back¬ ground for pictures outside of the pond. The crucifix behind the Grotto is one of the most lonely scenes on campus. It will bring memories of many a quiet hour of meditation. Everyone who has ever been to the college since the Grotto was built has gone to the woods behind the Publications Building and seen the statue of Christ’s Agony. Softly illuminated through a blue skylight, this cave-like room is a landmark and show- place. And who won’t remember the Stations of the Cross on the way to the Grotto? Although never used for official functions, unofficially they are the quiet witnesses of many a quiet supplication. REMINISCING The sundial at the corner of the library is often passed by; but it is one of the many things that make St. Joe St. Joe, not Xavier or Butler. The highest structure on campus is a huge pot on stilts with St. Joseph’s College” painted on it. This unofficial flagpole for Beat Valpo” pennons is the water tower. The flagpole with its streaming flag at the entrance to campus is a universal memorable scene. How many other campuses, industries, and museums have this demonstration of patriotism at their entrances? On Science Day the students of chemistry, biol¬ ogy, geology, and physics show off what they have learned during the past year to visitors and the rest of the student body. Whether it was the spec¬ tacular jet engine or the information demonstration on soaps, there was something of interest to all. THE STUDENT PRAYS ... JIM ■ : Wf W ‘ r ® r ' ■ P K } 1 WiSp is Seven o’clock. Seminarians and other students are coming from or to their morning de- votions. Father Klopke carries his chalice up the steps of the main altar while other priests say their daily Mass at the side altars which stretch along the sides of the Chapel. This is the begin¬ ning of the Student’s Day. Li M Ji Berner- to; $ f mft HH Hi ! t AgVLi Sfj gf RELIGION A moment of quiet prayer or meditation is inval¬ uable in the frenzied rush of the modern world. It might be an F on the last social science exam or just a sense of not accomplishing anything, but whatever the reason, a few minutes in the Grotto seems to help. f IN DAILY LIFE As in other years, the school year was officially opened with a solemn high Mass. But this year was different. The Mass was not in the familiar Chapel, but in the fieldhouse where a temporary altar had been erected. This was because of the huge increase in enrollment. In his annual opening sermon, Father Gross mentioned that he hoped that the St. Joe fam¬ ily would continue increasing in mind and spirit as well as in numbers. A hall rosary is one of the simplest demon¬ strations of faith. It may be said for a sick friend or, as in many cases, for the students themselves. In the spring the St. Joe Glee Club and three others combined to sing a Missa Cantata. Here Father Kramer is at the main altar during the Mass. The celebrant, deacon, and sub-deacon follow the seminarians into Chapel, beginning the Missa Cantata with a solemn procession. 12 AT SPECIAL EVENTS One of the greatest benefits God has ever given mankind is the sacra¬ ment of Penance. This is man’s chance to cleanse his soul of sin and win the graces necessary to gain the Beatific Vision. For two days before the Feast of the Immaculate Con¬ ception, the college was in retreat. It was a time of pray¬ er and thought which was guided by Father Green for the upperclassmen and Father Martin for the freshmen. Conferences, meditation, and the sacraments were the keynotes. 13 THE STUDENT STUDIES H { ] Ten o’clock. At this time most students are attending to the serious business of the day— education. They listen to lectures on sociological situations, take notes on Aristotelian theory, produce hydrogen, or learn the balance sheet equation. This is the learning process. PROVINCIAL The Very Rev. S. W. OBERHAUSER, C. PP. S. BISHOP The Most Rev. JOHN G. BENNETT, D. D. Bishop Bennett is an alumnus of St. Joseph’s and bishop of the diocese of Lafayette, in which Collegeville is locat¬ ed. He is a great friend of the college and has often helped it out both officially and unofficially. Father Oberhauser is the Provincial of the Precious Blood and the President of the Board of Control of the college. Although he does not live on campus, his decisions are in large part responsible for what happens here. Everyone knows that the faculty’s job is to teach and everyone should know t hat another job of the faculty is to counsel. This is secondary, of course, but nevertheless it is important. For this is how the student makes sure that he is taking the right courses, and then the counselor is always there to listen to the student’s troubles, small or large, and help him arrive at decisions. Class is ending, not starting, which is pretty well self- evident. It should also be self-evident that the same stu- dents don’t charge into the same Science Building for the same class as they charge out of it. But they still get there. THE VERY REV. RAPHAEL H. GROSS, Ph. D. President THE FACULTY AS ADMINISTRATORS REV. JOSEPH A. OTTE, M. B. A. Treasurer Holding true to the idea of small classes, St. Joseph’s has kept, even in its period of highest enrollment, an astoundingly low ratio of one professor for every ten students. Headed by fourteen doctors, the faculty has the task of educating those who have come to be educated, but who often do not seem to recognize that fact. Of the 73 members of the faculty, 21 are laymen, and for the first time at St. Joe’s there is a woman on the faculty as school nurse. These are the people who teach and guide our community. REV.

The twelve Precious Blood sisters who reside in their convent connected by devious ways to the Ad¬ ministration Building, at the south end of campus, lead a life of prayer and service. They hear morning Mass, make several visits daily in the Chapel, and prepare and serve twenty-one meals a week to 700 St. Joseph’s students. But actually, both elements of their life are forms of service. Both their prayers and their culinary accomplishments aid the firm growth of the student from boy into man. SR. FRANCETTA SR. SR.

APPIA HUNGER’S THEIR BUSINESS At first glance it seems that the Sisters have a comparatively easy job. It seems that all they do is stand behind the counter and dish out food. But on second thought, you realize that 700 steaks don’t materialize out of thin air and you wind up thinking that you would much rather study than practice cooking for 700 St. Joe men. Sister Francetta keeping the accounts straight. This is the finished product. Hours of cooking have culminated in the serving. All that remains to be done is the eating by these famished trenchermen. 29 This is a reversal of the everyday happening. We are finally looking down on the Ad Building instead of our venerable giant looking down on us. TRUTH OF WHATEVER KIND Truth of whatever kind is the object of the intellect,” wrote Cardinal Newman. Keeping in mind this wise comment, St. Joseph’s College offers to its students the very best instruction in a wide variety of courses, from Philosophy to Teaching Basket¬ ball to Business Administration. In its library can be found the masterpieces, old and new, of literature, science, sociology, political and economic theory. In classes and laboratories there are opportunities for free discussion and experimentation. In¬ deed, many and various are the interests which St. Joe serves in its policy of offering truth of whatever kind.” The stacks. The basis of the library which is almost the basis of the college. This is where students go for research, for perus¬ ing, for knowledge. Every person at St. joe, be he math, econ, or English major, goes to the stacks. In the lower stacks, with the magazines, are study booths for those with a paper to do on Constantine or the Quantum Theory or for those who perhaps want a quiet hour of poetry. But often, perhaps because of the quiet, heads begin to nod. THE SOURCE OF TRUTH The reference room has more encyclopedias than any other room on campus. These, along with other reference books, and those students who are continually using them combine to become one of the most integral parts of the academic life. NOW, ACCORDING TO THE MAR¬ GINAL PRODUCTIVITY THEORY.. . TOO BAD THE READING CLIN¬ IC GRADES DON ' T GO INTO THE INDEX. 800 WORDS A MINUTE IS HIS OBJECTIVE IN THE READING CLINIC. MR. RUBLE’S AUDITING CLASS IS SECOND THOUGHT ON A SPRING DA Y. A number of clinics have been instituted at St. Joseph’s to supplement regular classes. So, when a student is failing economics because of poor study habits or World Lit because he cannot read properly, he can go to the Study Clinic or Reading Clinic and learn the correct way to approach his courses. THE LIGHT OF EXPERIENCE NOT JUST CLASS This boy is splurging s gift for his girl, but earlier this year he was using hard-earned cash on books. Science Day gives him a good chance to show what he has learned about electrolytic conductivity of so lutions. Gee, Dad, it lights up!” it - The academic life of the student takes in quite a bit. It is not only attending an English class, or tak¬ ing a natural science exam, but it is also buying DEVELOPMENT OF WESTERN INSTITUTIONS at the Bookstore, and taking field trips to Kentucky for experience in placing strata. Although he’s mentally squirming at the sight of all those signs and numbers, he is still seeing himself as an eminent atomic scientist. It A.. This is a freshman chemistry lab where these students learn the elementary principles involving salts, alkali solu¬ tions, and the elements. In the field of biology, bacteriology is becoming increas¬ ingly important. To get a well-versed grounding in this subject is the object of these intent white-jacketed students. Every budding scientist must have a chance for practi¬ cal application of what he has learned. This is the purpose of lab periods. This is the student’s chance to measure the strength of the earth’s magnetic field, to titrate an acid against a base, or to dissect a frog. Cutting and polishing rocks is one of the less intellectual tasks of geology students, but it’s a lot of fun. Miss Harris makes sure the patient downs the medicine, one of her many tasks in taking care of the medical problems of the College- ville population. These future engineers are happily engross¬ ed in what will be an elementary plaything a few years from now. They aren’t thinking about it, but these students are developing the whole man which the college stresses. Get that rebound! 35 The academic portion of the student’s day is the portion most complained about, but it is also the most formative of the student’s day. Whether the class be physics or phy ed, it will prove to be one of the most informative and ben¬ eficial things of later life. PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE Professor Giese and his students who painted the mural in the background. The mural portrays indus¬ trial forms of the Calumet Region with St. Joseph being symbolic of the college. Three of the men responsible for the pro¬ gress of the Extension: Fr. Gross, president of the college; Fr. Birkley, director of the Exten¬ sion; Mr. Galvin, member of the Board of Lay Trustees. THE EXTENSION In 1951 St. Joseph’s opened the Calumet Extension in order to provide educational facilities for those who did not have the time or the money to come to Collegeville. Five years later the Extension offers seventy-one courses toward partial completion of the requirements for de¬ grees or certificates, and ten adult education series. It offers many of the courses given on campus and a few that aren’t —notably those in the fine arts. Professors from the cam¬ pus regularly go to the Extension for classes and outside help from leaders in their respective fields are used to supplement them. Besides giving credit toward degrees, the Extension offers certificate programs for such groups as law enforcement officers and industrial relations personnel. 36 This artist is one of many who are turning from garret studios to the new Extension Art Studio. COLLEGE AWAY FROM COLLEGE Although the Extension provides many of the same opportunities as the campus, it differs .in a number of ways. Perhaps the most noticeable is the fact that there are coeds. A more important difference is the curricu¬ lum. Naturally, it is not as large as that of the college proper, but it does have a number of courses in the fine arts which the campus does not have. Numerous exhibitions and displays are held during the year at which the art students exhibit their works in painting, sculpture, and ceramics. THE STUDENT PLAYS mv ,1 ' ' Anyone for some basketball?” ' ' No, I’m going bowling.” ' ' Think I’ll lift some weights.” This is typical afternoon dialogue which almost invariably ends with some activity in the field- house or on the IM field. Of course the more talented, athletic-wise, are on the varsity ' ' giving their all for the Pumas,” but the rest are just as eager to win the game as their more talented comrades. � v .

C.’s Coach of the Year Head Football Coach Head Baseball Coach 40 MEETING OF THE THREE SEASONS The aims of American Catholic education, devoted to the ta sk of producing righteous leaders, are easily recog¬ nized in the student’s day at St. Joseph’s. Complementing her phases of development for the soul and mind with religious and scholastic activities is St. Joseph’s equally important program of sports for the body. Just as it is man’s duty to pursue the True Faith and deve¬ lop his intellectual abilities for a successful life in this world, so, too, he is bound to build a sound body to harbor his God-given talents and to bear the daily burdens of life. To present this program of athletics, the college offers a wide range of varsity and intramural sports, intended to furnish some opportunity for every individual. In intercollegiate activity, St. Joseph’s is a member of the Indiana Collegiate Conference, one of the toughest small college organizations in the Midwest. This year has proved to be one of the league’s most successful years in its history—and it is still growing. The addition of a mem¬ bership this year in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Bowl¬ ing Association further exemplifies the school’s concern for activity. In addition, an abundance of non-conference foes, representing six states, are on the St. Joe schedule. Name” schools like Notre Dame, Loyola, DePaul, Xa¬ vier, and Purdue meet the Pumas in more than one type of competition throughout the sports calendar. Moreover, this outside activity is not restricted to varsity squads. Winning intramural teams represent the college each spring in the annual Extramural Meet with Loras, Lewis, and St. Norbert’s Colleges. This popular event, which is greatly anticipated by all, furnishes an even great¬ er incentive for intramural competition throughout the school year. Besides the major categories, St. Joe athletes compete in such events as tennis, golf, volley ball, horse shoes, ping-pong, and pool. Whatever the student’s talent, he will find an outlet in St. Joseph’s complete sports program. PUMAS AND PUMACES All-Conference Team selections Bob Hamman at halfback and Ralph Tite at quarterback. The I. C. C.’s football championship found a home at St. Joseph’s for the first time in the school’s history, as a result of sharing the title with Evansville. Saturday after Saturday brought new thrills and glory to the Col- legeville campus:—the classic 26-0 rout of arch-rival Valparaiso, the defending champions who, with their four All-Conference players, fielded the same team as last year;—the 28-13 Homecoming thriller over high¬ ly-rated Butler;—The Puma’s pair of new I. C. C. re¬ cords: the best defensive average and the most rushes from scrimmage;—the naming of sophomore backfield men Ralph Tite and Bob Hamman to the All-Conference squad;—a free day and pep rally in downtown Rens¬ selaer following the 28-0 night-time title game over Ball State;-these were some of the thrills in the lime¬ light of the 1955 football season.

Four returning starters, together with another quartet of lettermen, formed the nucleus for the 37-man squad that saw only four upperclassmen in its ranks, in¬ cluding the only senior, extra-point specialist Merle Effing. To improve on their fifth place standing, the I. C. C.’s Coach of the Year molded the league’s smallest and green¬ est team into a fighting unit that week after week upset the veterans. Chuck Spielman opens the throttle in a sideline spurt to pay dirt. Bob Hamman leaves another would-be Evansville tackier in his wake. Fancy footwork by Ralph Tite earns extra yardage against Valpo. 45 Ray Banary, in a mid-field mambo, sur¬ veys his landing field. TESTING THE LINE Upon completion of the conference’s strongest season in its history that saw 26 records rewritten, the local gridiron greats had set a new defensive mark with only 52 points scored against them in six games. Offensively, the Pumachine” ground out a 276-yards-per-game average. The 1955 season was already dubbed a success in the third game when the crowd cheered the Pumas on to their first victory over Valparaiso’s Crusaders since 1949. In¬ vigorated by their win, the championship-hungry Pumas stalked the league on the prowl for greater spoils, as talk of our first conference-winning team resounded through the campus. The Jauronmen’s single I. C. C. setback came at the hands of their co-champions in a night-time thriller at Evansville. The Pumas’ barnstorming backers raised the roof as the contest ran right down to the wire. Throughout the year the inspiring play of linemen Ray Knight, Bill Brinkman, Ron Pujo, and others was impres¬ sive. The forward wall’s inferior size showed itself only on the programs. The alert play of End George Sherwood merited him the annual MVP Award in the Homecoming Game. The season was ideal for the Pumaville spectators. The only setback on local turf was dealt by an undefeated Heidelberg eleven in a 14-13 conflict. This fact brought due recognition to the superlative support given by the sidelined students. It was a golden year for football in Collegeville! A fitting climax came in the form of the faculty’s unanimous de¬ cision to retain the sport at St. Joseph’s—ending a three- year probationary period.

It was the first year at the helm for Coach Dale O’Connell; it was an untried, unproven squad that fought for a respectable 11—9 record; and it was another successful season of basketball that dealt its share of thrills at St. Joseph’s College. On the home court, basketball bedlam broke loose in a number of nerve-racking contests, as Puma fans spurred their team on to victory. They were eventually rewarded with a nine-game winning streak in Col- legeville. Highlighting this spree was the 77—75 win over Butler University. Trailing throughout the game, the Pumas displayed their typical determin¬ ed drive to drop the Bulldogs here for the fourth straight year—their only victories in the history of the rivalry. But it was the team that could win on the road too that was to wear the ICC crown, and St. Joe had to be content with a fourth place tie as a result of their 6—6 conference record. By virtue of their home-game sche¬ dule early in the season, the Pumas led the league early in January and were the team to beat at the time. Puma center Dan Fenker was outstanding in a number of games. The 6’ 5” junior sank winning tip-ins in the last minute of the 84—82 Bellar- mine victory and the 75—73 win over champion Evansville. His 37 points against Indiana State and 36 tallies in a DePauw overtime thriller were also highs for the season. St. Joe’s contribution to the All-Conference Team, Greg Jancich, took the spotlight on a later date with his 34 markers against Ball State. GREG JANCICH Most Valuable Player 49 High-jumping Bill Lewis was the spark that ignited many a Puma rally with his relentless aggressiveness. The 6-foot Fair Oaks forward brought down everything but the roof in his re¬ bounding exhibitions. Team captain Ray Banary and his torrid driving jump shot were not be denied either. Then at the second semester 5-foot 7- inch Dan Rogovich came to join Banary; and the two guards broke the backs of many opposing defenses with their close-in play. Rogovich, a defensive hawk as well, led the squad on five occasions with his point production of 18.6 per game—the squad’s highest individual average. Other stalwarts, Jim Noll, Jerry Altstadt, Angelo Dattomo, and Jim Elbert, saw considerable action as Coach O’Connell search¬ ed his ranks for a winning combination. Dan Fenker goes under in spite of two Marian men. Altstadt leaps for two points in the Indiana State game. BASKETBALL Shooting Name Hgt. Yr. GP Pet.

Lewis drops one in during the Valpo game. 51 A 23-game schedule faced the 1956 edition of Puma varsity baseball. The squad compiled a record of eight wins and eight losses, with seven contests rained out. Five of these washouts spelled the difference in ICC play, as the Pumas’ 3—4 conference mark came most¬ ly at the hands of the league leaders. St. Joe’s 6—3 re¬ sults at home could easily have been enhanced since all seven cancelled contests were scheduled in College- ville. The diamond dwellers took on a new look this year when football coach Bob Jauron took the reins in base¬ ball, and the Pumas moved towards big time by adding Purdue, Dayton, and Bradley Universities to the sche¬ dule.

Redel- DICK DWINELL Most Valuable Player That Valpo batter getting set to start a double play. But the big blow to pre-season optimism came in the form of an injury-ridden mound crew. The Big Three of Dick Dwinell, Greg Jancich, and Paul Gatza had already proved themselves in pre¬ vious years. But by mid-season, Jancich alone was left. Dwinell, who still holds conference records from the 1954 championship year, and Gatza, who was leading the league in six departments, both developed arm trouble. Mound chores were then filled by Horney, O’Mara, and Turk. Fre¬ quently, the initial inning killed the cause as the Pumas dropped seven of their last ten tilts. The Pumas’ punch at the plate was carried by the bats of Paul Grupenhoff (.396), Tom Deem (.372), Bob Hamman (.362), and, earlier in the year, Jim Gatza (395). The team average was .299 in the sixteen contests. The Pumas’ weak spot, however, was in the field, where their 55 errors dropped the fielding average to .901.

The squad was able to better their record of 1955 in which they won one and lost seven, but only by adding two ties to the total. Under the coaching of Fr. Cle¬ ment Kuhns, a trio of returning starters led by Captain Merle Effing was the nucleus of the team. Ron Keller and Jim Kubacki were later joined by Jack Clifford and Bob Koblesky, but they were unable to provide another tally in the win column. FORE” Fr.

On the intramural level, enough interest developed in kegling that three leagues had to be formed in order to handle the number of bowlers. It was still an¬ other sport to be dominated by Noll Hall, with the Terrors emerging victorious after the eliminations. On the intercollegiate level, the picture was not so cheerful. The scratch high bowlers of the intramural lea¬ gues made up the varsity team. The Pumas finished last in the Midwest Intercollegiate Bowling Conference. Their lone match victory was a stunning upset of the Valpo Crus¬ aders which deprived the Crusaders of the title. Ron Dohr aiming for a strike in the intramural playoffs.

THE VICTORS Noll Hall—home of the intramural tro¬ phy which was won by the class of’57 as the best all-round hall in the intra¬ mural sports contest. FROM HORSESHOES TO SOFTBALL This year saw a new idea introduced on the intramural scene. To eliminate the possibility of one team’s dominating the intramural picture by getting the best players in each sport, the teams were selected on the basis of halls, and points were given to these halls for entering the various sports. Points were also given for finishing 1-2-3-4-5 in any sport. When the points were totaled, Noll Hall had won by more than 3 points over their nearest rivals—the seniors from Bennett. The Noll Lions were the winners in both touch football and 16-inch softball. The Bennett Bombers won the basketball championship. In 12-inch softball, the Bennett seniors were again the winners. In bowling, the Noll Terrors emerged vic¬ torious. Many of the underclassmen teams made fine show¬ ings, particularly Drexel, which took second place in every major sport. The success of the program may be attested to by the fact that over 80% of those eligible participated in one or more intramural sport. Under the direction of Mr. James Beane, and later Fr. Dan¬ iel Schaefer, the intramural program had its most successful year. And under the supervision of student director John F. White, it also had some of its best officiating. THE SPOILS. . .

To satisfy this longing, the college has instituted the Prom, Homecoming, and other dances and mixers, as well as numerous extra-curriculars, and special events.

Its membership is made up entirely of Pumas who have won varsity letters. Monogram Club members will be found in every intercollegiate sport in which St. Joe part¬ icipates. And activity for these men wasn’t limited to sports during the weeks following Homecoming. Later in the year they were found making arrangements for their annual dance. The Rec Hall was the scene of their effort. 1st ROW: R. Dwinell, pres. P. Higgins, J. F. White. 2nd ROW: M. Hackman, D. Fenker. 3rd ROW: J. McPolin, G. Parent, N. Hudecki, T. Weber.

It made a field trip to the Chi¬ cago Historicial Society and the Art Institute, and sponsored a highly successful forum on the 1956 Presidential Elections. Four observers were sent to the Little United Nations Assembly at Indiana Uni¬ versity. The financial activity of the year was a bingo which served to pay off the long-standing debt to the Student Council. 78 ALBERTUS MAGNUS SOCIETY 1st ROW: D. Wilkinson, R. Smith, R. Skorupa, L.

VETS CLUB The Father Falter Post was founded after World War II to provide social interests for the large influx of veterans who were taking advantage of the GI Bill. In 1955 the bumper crop of ex-GI’s was gone but enough remain¬ ed to provide reasons for the Vet’s Club exist¬ ing. E. Kolaczyk, B. Baker, J. Berber, L. Herber, D. Cooper, J. Crackel, E. Fox, G.

The elite Albertus Magnus Society is composed of those science students who maintain a B” average or better in their field. The 1956 club sponsored one of the best Science Days in recent years. From the perennial display of the biology depart¬ ment’s Freddy the Snake to the ultramodern exhibits of the jet engine and the Geiger counter, the 600 visitors and students were engrossed in the glories of sci- 79 ence. GEOLOGY CLUB A tri-state field trip was the high point of the year’s activities for the Geology Club. They also sponsored lectures and films on petrology and glacial deposits as well as other subjects. Another function was the publi¬ cation of a newsletter which every geology student re¬ ceived as an ipso facto member of the club. 1st ROW: moderator Fr. Nieset, W. Zakes, I. Vanderwell, pres. J.

The club of¬ ten becomes involved in theoretical discussions, which is the principal reason for the mystery. It is the Catholic Action Group on campus and as such is affiliated with the Young Christian Stu¬ dents, a national organization. Its main external accomplishment for the year was the much-need¬ ed establishment of the Ride Bureau. M. Hardin, J. Parejko, J. Frisz, U. Thobe, L. Dyrek, J. Archer, R. Oehmke, pres. J.

Its members devote themselves to serving Mass for the sixty-odd priests at the nineteen altars in the Chapel and to training others to follow in their genuflections. When a priest comes out of the sacristy, there is no more welcome sight to him than to see a Don Boscoite rise and come forward. 81 FORT WAYNE CLUB The newest social club on campus is the Fort Wayne Club. It was formed at the beginning of the second semester and received its constitution from the Student Council soon afterwards.

This year 650 parents, relatives, and friends accepted the college’s invitation to visit the campus where their sons live nine months out of the year. Each visitor was registered in the library and given a program of the day’s events. A special Mass was said at 11:30 for those who did have time to go at their home parish. From the Chapel to the Rec Hall a steady stream of parents were escorted by their sons to the various sights and events of the day. A reception was held in the Rec Hall for every¬ one to get acquainted; the Glee Club gave a concert; and Father Gross addressed the parents. The re¬ ligious event of the day was Benediction in the Chapel followed by a procession to the Grotto where the Rosary was said. That evening the Columbian Players rang down the curtain on the parental fes¬ tivities with The Gramercy Ghost.” 83 The Silvertones were the first offering of the concert series this year. The program included songs from Broad¬ way musicals such as Porgy and Bess, Negro spirituals, and other popular tunes. Modernistic dancing had its debut at Collegeville with the appearance of Jose Limon and his dancers. The show con¬ centrated on the lighter side and was a great success. CONCERT SERIES This year’s St. Mark-Regina concert was no exception to the tradition of fine musi¬ cal entertainment. It featur¬ ed singing, dancing, instru¬ ment solos, and even comediennes. Mr. RICHARD KILMER The St. Joseph’s College Concert Series is designed to bring to the campus each year the best in artistic entertainment for the benefit of the student body. Sponsored by the college and supervised by Assistant Pro¬ fessor of History Richard Kilmer, the Series featured three major pro¬ grams this year. The first was Garfield Henry’s Silvertones, a vocal quartet, who sang operatic arias and ensembles and also some favorite popular songs. The second was the AmericanChamber Orchestra, a full concert orchestra, under the direction of Robert Scholz. The third and final program was that of Jose Limon’s dance company, probably the best known and most popular of the exponents of modern dance. WEEKENDS WITH GIRLS A combo provides some hot music for the reveling Pumas. Mixers at St. Joe this year were not as many as in other years, but they were just as good. Instituted by the college in co-operation with the Student Council, which sponsors the events, it is a means of giving the student some social activity which he does not ordinarily enjoy at all-male St. Joseph’s, the mixers are always a success. The only complaint ever heard is the invariable, Is this all that came?” This year, be¬ cause of this complaint, the Council instituted a freshman mixer to which only first-year men were allowed to come. St. Mary’s of the Woods, St. Xavier, and Mundelein Colleges provided the girls. An upperclassman mixer was to be held later in the year, but was cancelled. Besides the freshman mixer, there were two other events to which the entire stu¬ dent body was allowed to come. At both mixers Mundelein was the only girls’ school present. The Rec Hall is transformed into a dance hall for the night when mixer-time comes. : Homecoming queen Florence (Miss Chicago) Gallagher sits one out at the dance.

It was also a premature celebra¬ tion of what everyone knew was going to happen—the winning of the ICC football co¬ championship for the first time in the school’s history. The theme of the dance was Foot¬ ball,” and the queen was Florence Gallagher, Miss Chicago of 1955. Dan Belloc and his orchestra furnished the music, and the student body and their dates were the dancers and audience. 60 ' Pumas The Seniors once again bring out their perennial de¬ coration. But the Bulldogs find themselves being waked and in the dog house. 86 The faculty entertains the seniors and their dates with cocktails just be- You be King and I’ll be your fore the Boat sails. Queen.” BILLY MAY ON THE 19TH OF MAY The Showboat is in full steam as Billy May plays for the Prom-goers. The prom weekend was the biggest social event of the year. It began Friday evening with the Revels. Sonny Johnson provided the music, and the Counts, a popular singing group, were on hand as an added attraction. Sat¬ urday afternoon the majority of the Prom-goers scattered for picnics while a few stayed on campus for the double header between St. Joe and Evansville. The big evening was started with a candlelight dinner in the college dining hall, and after a brief pause to change into formal clothes, the St. Joe socialites and their dates were dancing to the music of Billy May on the Collegeville Showboat. Queen Donna Callopy was crowned by her escort Joe Kneip. Re- fresments were served after the dance, and a little later 210 weary students fell into bed at approxmately 3:00 in the morning. The Prom Committee poses for the PHASE photographer on the big night. The end of every school year at every school is graduation. And St. Joseph’s is no different. This year sixty-six seniors received their bachelor of art or science degrees and finished their college careers. The com¬ mencement address was given by Mr. William A. Hanley, a member of the lay board of trustees and chair¬ man of the Midwest Federal Reserve System. The valedictorian address was given by Marvin Hackman, and he was also honored by being enrolled into Delta Epsilon Sigma, the national Catholic scholastic honor society. Richard Barnett was also enrolled in the society, which had its first year on campus this past year. THE LAST DAY Graduation day begins with an academic procession to the Chapel where the Baccalaureate Mass is said. Then in the afternoon there is another academic pro¬ cession, this time to the auditorium where the degrees are conferred. Afterwards there is a reception in the Rec Hall for everyone to meet for the last time. That is the official sketch of Graduation. But, of course, there are many smiles, tears, and congratulations slipped in between the scheduled happenings. Mr. Hanley and Fr. Gross Now that we have seen just what the student does with his day, it is time to meet him—all 826 of him. The St. Joe Student is more than a student as we have seen. He is, above all, a Catholic; he is an athlete; he is a socialite. But enough of introduction —let’s meet the student. PRECIOUS BLOOD SEMINARIANS Xavier Hall, home of the Seminarians St. Joe is not only a college but also a seminary for the Precious Blood order. Here in Xavier Hall the first and second year men studying for the priesthood live their busy lives. From the sunrise when they rise for mass to the sunset they are busy praying, studying, working, or relaxing. : - J i ■ At A1 Clark, Henry Bosch, Dick Elo, Lloyd Schmit. A TWO-YEAR STOP. . .

This year’s freshman class was distinctive from the very start. Even before they arrived for orientation week, the frosh were in the news as the biggest fresh¬ man class ever at Collegeville. Then they arrived—in a flood of 356 green beanies—and promptly showed so much spirit and determination that they put the other classes to shame. Of course freshmen always show more liveliness, but these were the liveliest of the live¬ ly. Their Booster Club and their willingness to help anyone and anything were living proofs of this. One of their largest contributions was on the gridiron where they were a major factor in giving the school its first ICC championship in football.

At times they are very energetic, but other times they are so lethargic it hurts. This year they were energetic, almost to a fault, as eviden¬ ced by their zealous pursuit of initiation. After they had that slave-labor permit revoked for their pains, the sophs eased down into lethargy until Homecoming, when a few worked long and hard on their tribute to the football team. Also, like other second-year classes, the sophomores were predominant in extra-curricular activities such as the San- guinist and Glee Clubs. 106 HOMECOMING TICKETS HERE Dick Connell, Dick Oehmke, Bill Beeman, Bill Brinkman, Harold Heuring, Gino Lovenyak, Joe Wonderly, Leroy Don Salvato.

Larry Stark, vice president; Bemie Balas, treasurer; Jim Station, president; Ray Goberville, secretary. Collegeville’s White House, like its brother in Washington, also hous¬ es a vet (twelve of him, in fact), but he is an underclassman, not a presi¬ dent. GUIDING LIGHTS. Bob Skorupa, Jack Kasing, Kevin Gallagher, Mike Bateman, Bill Gleason. 56 SHOWBOAT NICE STUDYING. The juniors moved into a brand-new hall, but it didn’t awe them a bit. They dug right into their work, determined to get that A” from Father Wuest, show Doctor Jones where he was wrong in economic principle, or just generally boost that index. But at the same time, the juniors were care¬ ful to make frequent checks on the Rec Hall and the Palace in town to see if they were still in business. When Prom-time came around, they chose Showboat” for a theme, and after the big night was over, the juniors could sit back and say that it was the best showboat that ever docked at Collegeville. Also noteworthy were the rail¬ road caps of the engineers. 3-BALL IN THE CORNER POCKET A1 Salerno, Bob Heezen, Paul Temple, John Con¬ roy, Gene Saleda, John Tobin, Bill Burkhardt. 115 RAILROAD CAP‘ SIGNING UP FOR EIGHT O’CLOCK CLASSES.

NEWEST FACES Each year between the end of the first semester and the beginning of the second, a number of old familiar faces disappear and new ones arrive to take their places. This year sixty-two new students registered for the second semester, keeping the number of St. Joe men nearly stable from year’s beginning to year’s end. Some of these sixty-two were brand new to college life; others had graced the St. Joe scene before; still others were transfers from other cam¬ puses. FLANKING TACTICS.

But it is the quiet and sedate twin, for it houses the most-of-the-time-quiet- and-sedate seniors and also Father Schaefer to keep them quiet and sedate. WE’RE BACHELORS NOW The seniors are the old men of the campus. In a sense, they had already graduated in the fall— from the Bowling Alley to Kanne’s. Being the old men of the campus, they were naturally expected to be the leaders. That was why the first floor of Bennett had nine club presidents and two Student Council officers. But however confident they may have seemed to the underclassmen, the seniors were beginning to feel just a little tremulous, for the time was fast approaching when they would again be at the bottom of the ladder and reaching for the lowest rung. Washburn House is the last outpost of Collegeville. Situated almost in the heart of Rensselaer, its occupants are a group to them¬ selves. 124 ROGER L. UECKER Fort Wayne, Indiana B.
