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.

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. Hard working circulation managers were Lynn White and Gene Torre. Re- porters were members of Mr. Contris' journalism class.

DAY STUDENTS There is a term used in St. Martin's vernacular which we have tried to change probably ever since the college began. In vain have all sought for a new name be- fitting those members of the student body who daily travel to and from their homes- it always ends up Day Dogs. Before the war, a large percentage of the students, sometimes half of them, were day students. The courtyard was filled with cars ranging from model T's to the latest in automobile fashions. Now only a few ears make their way over the hill. The ma- jority of the day students travel to and from school on the bus, chauffeurcd by Ed Kennish. This colorful group of students from Olympia, Lacey, Nisqually and Fort Lewis has shown great interest in sports, social activities and scholastic duties. Valuable to the Ranger football squad were Ben Goldenberger, Bill Wisniewski, Ron Macmillan, George Lawson and Ken Mallory. The remainder formed an intramural football team led by Dave Sweeney. They formed their own basketball five, the Columbian Squires, playing the varsity second team and other local teams. Social activities were taken care of by the Day Dog Activities Club headed by Dave Sweeney, president, Jack Connolly, vice-president, and Jerry Lamm, secretary- treasurer. The club raised a fund to have a mass offered each month for the St. Martin's alumni in the service. Keeping up the scholastic prestige of former years, Shryne, Lamm and Wisniewski were consistent Honor Roll students. To add to their accomplishment, most of these young men helped themselves through school by working after school and on Saturdays. Dave Sweeney and Jerry Lamm, graduating Day Dogs, were editor and sports editor, respectively, of the Martian Dave also took over in putting out the sports section of the Ranger Crossbow. Hats off to an integral cog in the St. Martin's student body, the non-resident stu- dents, or, as they themselves would be called, the Day Dogs.
