A THE MARTIAN The Illartian was begun as a college publication in 1913 by the Reverend Sebastian Ruth, O. S. B. Father Sebastian, man of good ideas with the ability to put them into action, remained in charge of the Martian until 1931. lt was published as a quarterly magazine or booklet until 1926. Since then it has ap- peared in newspaper form. The depression hit the college paper, for it ceased publication during 1931-32. Some record ol' the activities of this time was kept by a hectographed paper The Porlico Peeper. Father Dominic Hack, O.S.B., revived the Martian in 1932 and was its faculty adviser until 1935. From that date the paper has been under the direction of Professor Michael Contris. The paper was given over mostly to college doings with a high school sup- Jlement until 1943. The scarcit of colle 'e students durin 1' the last two ears has made the Martian into a lu h school ubhcation with a colle 'e addition. . . . ' . . . K , An important section ol the news now IS the notes for servicemen. Some three hundred copies ol' the Marlian are sent each month to alumni in all corners ol' the globe. THE STAFF 'lerry Lamm, editor-in-chief, had two years of journalistic experience, and handled the job like a veteran. He, working with an able staff, much enlarged the Martian in sile, and made it a representative publication. Dave Sweeney, senior, did an excellent job reporting sports. He was aided by Allen Bird, author ol' the column Sportraits. Feature columnists were Tom Mallon and Bob Aigner. Aigner also doubled as assistant business manager -working with liddie O'Nei11 and Phil Downey, a go-getting business staff which consistently filled the quota of ads. .lack Harvey, college senior, and Tom O'Grady, were college reporters. Peter lickroth in his Hobby Column and Larry Beaulaurier in his Under- classman News, provided a touch of ever present wit and humor. Gilbert Vfells, social editor, turned out some fine stories.

CROSSBOW STAFF The Ranger Cl'US.Yfl0'lU, St. Martin's High School annual, makes it second appearance this year, again taking the place of the college annual, the Sumurco. This edition commemorates the Golden jubilee ol' St. Martin's as an educational institution. The theme, The Old and The New is set off in the written and photographic record here presented. Father Sebastian Ruth, O.S.B., identified with the growth of St. Martin's since l902, edits the jubilee section of the book. Father Meinrad Gaul, O.S.B., is faculty advisor of the annual. Early in the year a staff was appointed, and busy researchers set about looking for old publications, pictures and cuts. Xvartime shortages have made it necessary to cut down the size ol' the book and to crowd it in places-but it is with great pleasure that we present the fruit of our labors to the public. William Ueland, editor, merited the position by his previous journalistic experience and by his persevering, consistent work. .lack Harvey and ililllll O'Grady, Martian and annual staff writers for several years, edited the college section. Able assistants to Ueland were associate editors jim XValker and Carl Feucht. Allan Bird did an excellent job as the feature editor. The sports de- partment was placed in the capable hands of Dave Sweeney. Aureliano Bustillo, talented college art student, was art editor, replacing Art Miller, who received an urgent invitation from Uncle Sam's Navy. The task of collecting funds, always a difficult part of putting out an annual, was handled by Gilbert Wells, Tom Mallon, and Mike Thornton. Various Slll- dents gave valuable aid, chief among them being Otto Fink, the Eckroths and Harold Grasser. To these, and to Philip lickroth, Frank Denton and Alvin Savio, who did much reading in old papers, a special vote of thanks is due. Other contributors of articles who deserve credit are Bob Aigner, -lerry Lamni, Charles Bosserman and john Norris. Wfe express our sincere appreciation to the Emerson Studio of Olympia for their superb photographyg to the Quick Print for their helpful advice and co- operative spiritg to Mr. Miller of johnson-Cox Co. in Tacoma for the artistic cover and binding: to our patrons who made the book possible, and to all who in any way helped in the publication of this issue of the Ranger Crossbow and -jubilee Book.

THE HONOR ROLL St. lVlartin's students have many interests they may strive to attain athletic greatness or social distinction, but all of them hope sometime or other to become members ot' that very exclusive membershipfthe Honor Roll. To acquire listing there much consistent and efficient work must be done. A B grade average must be main- tained and this not too easy. Grading standards here are high, and one has to do real study to get on the Honor Roll. The junior class has been the outstanding scholastic unit in the school. During the year. eleven of its twenty-five members reached the coveted distinction of the Honor Roll. Two of them, Jim Walker and Joe Monda tied with the champion, Fresh- man Charles Bosserman for first place, and Bob Aigner and Charles Baltzo gave some very close competition for top honors. Other juniors who placed were George Keene, Jim Baxter, George Landeis, Earl Baer, Tom Mallon and Allen Bird. Jerry Lamm, who was a senior the second semester, was also an honor student. The freshman class placed seven members on the Honor Roll-Y-out of a class of forty. Bosserman rated a perfect 4.00 several times. His nearest competitor was Philip Eckroth. Other freshmen on the list were Denton, Rhodes, Mueller, Savio and Bouson. The sophomores, largest class in the school with near fifty members, rated low scholastieally. Their honor students were Shryne, Peter Eckroth, Traynor, Wisniewski, Roberts and Dawson. The seniors claim Jack Hutchinson who has an enviable near perfect record over his whole high school career, Mike Fitzpatrick and Jerry Lamm. To all these students our congratulations. They are an inspiration to the rest of the student body.
