Small-yard, big-yard, study ball, office, class room, chapel, hall and that old St. Mary’s spirit; what a world of reminiscence will they not awaken! Equipped with all the knowledge our high school instructors were able to force upon us. we entered the college department in September, 1919, with the characteristics common to Freshmen. But under the careful guidance of Father Horine S. J. and Mr. Miller S. J., we attained our first objective and became Sophomores. ()ur membership in the meantime had dwindled to fourteen, but the intellectual wants of the class were not to be neglected and our stay was a most profitable and enjoyable one. Then, in September, 1921, we returned to find a class of ten, but we were soon initiated into the mysteries of philosophy, which seemed to present an intriguing puzzle for a time. Last September, however, nine returned to take up our dignified Scniorship; and as Philosophers we sought to uphold the traditions and to live in accordance with the dignity of our position. Not to be lightly estimated are our college activities. Our members have taken an active part in ad societies and organizations of the college. We can boast participation in most public contests, and, without exaggeration, claim the giving of much athletic prowess to St. Mary’s teams. We have had two basketball and one baseball captaincy as well as stars in football. To help and encourage every college activity has always been the aim of the Class of ’23. However, during these last two years, to Father John O’Connor, S. J., professor ot philosophy, we owe our inspiration and incentive. Day after day he worked with us. explaining the ultimate causes of things, and the fundamental principles which should direct correct thought and action. We realized the gravity of the matter, and strove with all earnestness to grasp every morsel of that intellectual nourishment. Hence, to Father John O’Connor, the Class of 23 extends heartfelt thanks. To him who drilled us in the principles and ideals which, if followed, will l e fruitful in just and upright lives, we offer our sincere appreciation. ()ur Senior year has been the most pleasant of our college days and in fact of our lives. Although to conjure up past scenes of our college life is most pleasant, a time for parting has come and we only hope that we will prove ourselves real sons of St. Mary’s and that she will have cause to be as proud of us as we are of her. And once again, we say. goodbye. DIAL ANA UAL Thirty-Fire SENIOR CLASS OF 23 ()n the top of a world-old mountain As the shadows began to grow. Stood a youth where thousands before Had gazed on the valley below; Like the thousands who went before him Since the days of the world l cgan. He saw only how placidly The multi-colored river ran. He saw the gold and crimson Close by the farther bank; He saw but the hues of rainbows,. (But the slime was thick and dank) ; He heard but the rippling laughter Of the brightly colored waves, (But the colors hid the quicksands That marked the thousands’ graves). And he gazed on the valley enchanted As it shone in the sun’s last rays. And it seemed like a haven of pleasure Where a mortal might guile his days. But hark ! on the wings of evening. Waking echoes of hill and dell. Stole the voice of the bell of St. Mary’s Pealing its fond farewell. “My son, I have steeled you for battle I have placed a sword in your hand: Wield true, for the cross on your bosom Marks you for my knighthood’s band Go now, for the good God wills it, But remember as you’re a man, That the love of St. Mary’s goes with you As only a mother’s can.’’ The youth drew his sword from its scabbard And proudly held it on high, “St. Mary’s, I live for the things you have taught I’ll fight for the Truth till I die.” —Maurice Bates 1 CX n-TiT«fcT� J DIAL ANAIUAL as nwtrll Thirty Six PATRICK HENRY SLATTERY President of Senior Class Class President ’21, ’22, ’23.

Though we constitute an infinitesimal portion of this great cosmos, we are proud to say that, in keeping with the march of progress, we have striven to give our best for the gladdening of our parents’ hearts, for our school’s greater glory, for our own advancement, and for those who may come after us. Whatever time may hold in store for us, the memory of our class as a unit will ever serve to cheer the weary heart to its final goal. Our class of ‘25 dates from the fall of 17. but only in 1921 as Freshmen was the real impetus given to united effort on our part. The largest class in the history of St. Mary’s, we began our college course with high ideals and aspirations. Wt ambitioned great things and our hopes were not disappointed. In literature, athletics, music, and dramatics our representatives bore a part greater than had been previously shouldered by any one class. We were only lowly Freshmen, but in every way possible to Freshmen, we merited respect—and commanded it. At the beginning of the present year when first we felt that our former lowly station was a thing of the past, the determination came afresh to surpass our deeds of old. Under the able leadership of Frank Morris our class activities were supervised with the care and skill of a veteran campaigner. In the field of athletics, as a glance at that section in the Dial Annual will show, many of our number starred. In the inter-class contests, we made our mark, tucking the basketball championship under our arms as a well earned prize. Our place in other college activities has also been prominent. The literary productions of our class men have been prolific and wc have no hesitation in claiming an enviable record of scholastic attainments. The Harbaugh Debate was won through industry and untiring perseverance by a Sophomore, Francis Motherway. Maurice Bates was awarded first place in the Costello Catechetical Essay Contest; and the Alumni English Medal was won by Charles Bland ford, to all of whom we point with pride as members of our class. Joseph Loftus, ’25, represented us in the Intercollegiate Debates and merited unstinted commendation from many sources. For the first time in some years a place in the Intercollegiate English Essay Contest was awarded to a St. Mary’s man, Wilfrid Hayden, of the Sophomore class, who also merited eighth place in the Intercollegiate Latin Contest. The tale is told, the excitement over, and pleasant memories alone remain. Soon we must part, some of us never to meet again. All of us may not attain the privileged rank of Seniors in the world of college, but wherever our paths may lead, none of us will surrender the title our class has won—to rise to ever greater heights and win.

We came from every part of the country with cherished memories of high school days still fresh in our minds; each of us felt himself a distinct unit with few interests in common with his classmates; there was no bond to unite us. After listening to Father Rector’s words of formal welcome and his appeal for our wholehearted support of his efforts toward a Greater St. Mary’s, we no longer felt ourselves estranged units. We began to absorb the true spirit incumbent upon every full-fledged St. Mary’s man; we began to feel the need of organization. Under the direction of Father Herbers we molded ourselves into a compact unit in order that we might better advance our own interests and those of the College. The following men were chosen as class executives: John H. McDonnell, President; Avery A. Batson, Vice-President; Paul L. Gregg, Secretary; Edward L. Kennedy, Treasurer. Almost immediately the influence of the Freshmen became manifest. McDonnell, Kennedy, Batson, Mahoney, and Kelley, all of the Freshman Class, helped to bring honors to St. Mary’s in Football. Ih Basketball, Holt, the season’s high-point man, Morrisey, McDonnell, Kennedy, Burke and liuddy were the Freshmen representatives. On the Baseball squad were many Freshmen: Morrisey, Kennedy and McDonnell held regular varsity positions. Scholastic interests were not neglected. Sixteen of the Freshmen received honor ribbons for excellency in class standing. Walter J. Loftus represented the class in the Harbaugh Debate. The Literary efforts of the classmen of ‘26 have been laudable. Numerous articles from their pens were published in the Hour Glass and Dial. The musical organizations of the college, the Band, the Orchestra, the Choir and the Glee Club, have received hearty support from the Freshmen. Our interests in the religious activities of the College has been marked. Father Benoit expressed his appreciation of our earnest concern in the affairs of the Sodality. We did our share in putting over the Diamond Jubilee Celebration. Although the majority of the executive positions connected with the masque were held by upper classmen, we Freshmen were able to execute the unostentatious details of the mammoth organization with great effectiveness, which is in large measure responsible for the Diamond Jubilee’s brilliant success. Our first year’s achievements have l ecn modest but commanding. We are not content, however, to rest on past achievement. With our motto, “Excelsior,” ever before us, we will always strive as a unit for the higher and finer things in college life that we may prove ourselves true sons of St. Mary’s and in later years reflect her glory.

Sixty-Three HIGH SCHOOL FOURTH CLASSICAL History Way, way hack in 1919, the College special wheezed up to the gate and discharged, among others, a bewildered group which was to form the Class of ’23. And now, within a short time, many of us will take a last lingering look at our beloved Alma Mater, before departing on that same Special. In the main, the class which began in September, 1919, still remains, and, although some few have left us during our four years, their places have been filled by eagerly welcomed “new boys.” Some of us will return to enter the College Department next year, some will continue their studies at other schools and some, perhaps, will enter into the game of life, but the Class of ’23 will remain forever fixed upon the minds of all. During our first three years, we were split into two separate classes, between which existed a friendly rivalry not only in studies, but in athletics and all other affairs in our school life. This served to give us a high standard in all that we attempted. This year the two classes were brought together under Fr. Kuenzel, S. J. We applied ourselves so diligently to Virgil and poetry, that many received honors. Ignatius Floersch merited class-honors at the half after a close race with several others. He also carried away the Elocution Medal for the second time. The class officers were: Joseph Howard, President; Thomas Wade, Vice-President; John Smith, Treasurer. In this our last year we have always been well represented in all school activities, and it is with great sorrow that we close the annals of our High School days and enter upon the sterner battles of life. FOURTH ENGLISH—SCIENTIFIC—COMMERCIAL As the day of our high school career has reached a golden and glorious end, we gaze with no little satisfaction over the vista of those four happy years. The ship of our class was launched in 1919. Under the able guidance of Mr. J. L. Scott, S. J-, we were taught the fundamental principles upon which our future education was to be reared. The following year Coach O'Rourke stood at the helm and his efforts made us the envied class of the school. Our class showed a great burst of speed, and, although we encountered much hard work, his good humor nevertheless brightened the more serious side of life. On the third log of our journey we were very ably piloted by Mr. McGalloway, S. J. It was during this year that God called our beloved classmate, Joseph Murphy, and chose him from amongst us to join the ranks of those whose worldly strife is over. The fourth and final year arrived at last. Fr. A. Kuenzel, S. J., and Mr. J. V. Jacobsen. S. J., labored incessantly to apply those added touches that were necessary to complete our high school education. We realize that we owe to these and all our teachers a great debt of gratitude which they have merited by their sacrifices in our behalf. Consult the records of “College Activities” and you will discover that the English Scientific and Commercial class of ’23 has always been well represented in all scholastic endeavors. We conclude with the prayer that the blessings with which Heaven has favored our teachers as well as ourselves in the past, may abide with us during the remainder of our lives.

This year has again seen our class a leader in both intellectual and physical contests; the laurels of victory have often crowned our efforts in studies; the palm of the champions, we have obtained in athletics. We always had our worthy representatives i;i every contest, tireless workers, firmly determined to win the honors for the sake of the class. Throughout the entire school year, we have felt proud of our gifted teachers, of one another, of our class athletic teams; but we have been proudest of our fraternal class spirit, that frank and sympathetic sentiment which we have felt toward one another, that old spirit which leads us to this conclusion: Classes may come and classes may go, but none will ever feel so justly proud of its teachers, of its members and of its spirit as the good old Class of Twenty-Four. .

HIGH SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL I First English Perhaps there is no other class in the school that shines out more brilliantly than first English. The main reason for this is Professor Ryan. The class is extremely fortunate in securing such an efficient teacher, and we certainly regret that he can not teach us the rest of our school days. lie taught us English, Ancient -History and Business Correspondence. Professor Wearing furnished the knowledge for Algebra puzzles, and we learned Christian Doctrine from Mr. Heitz, S. J. The class did its share in supporting the Missions and the Jubilee Campaign. FEDERICO VIDEGARAY, who never missed a question from September to June, we must acknowledge the smartest boy in the class. PABLO SALAS is another of the Monterey invaders. He holds a record similar to that of “Videy.” WILLIAM TWOH.EY never came to class with a pencil, but always talked someone else out of his. He was captain and shortstop on the baseball team. LEWIS McMULLEN represented the class in the music department. He played the drum in the Orchestra and the Jazz Band. HAROLD LASSWELL kept order in the rear end of the class -room. He went out for the class team, but found it was not fast enough, so lie advanced to the Bush Leagues. JOE HARINGTON, christened “Chauncey Olcott” by Professor Ryan, thought he was accused of being a “Clumsy Apricot.” He played center field because it was the shadiest place on the diamond. DAVE CROWLEY never came to class with his lesson, but always had a good excuse. His favorite was, “I lost my book.” THOMAS BAKER was the popular class clown. A right fielder, he was always somewhere near the ball when it fell to the ground. FRANCIS GEBHARDT was one of the smartest day students in the class. HENRY MEES ran Francis a close second for high honors among the day students. JOE ZAMBRANO was the best Zoologist. He was rather “Buggy” on the subject. JULIO VILLAREAL has pretty, white teeth, but docs not like to show them. CON.RAD KLIESEN was the rosy-cheeked lad who had so much difficulty in reading. JACK BROWN, alias Rodolph Valentino, was the shining part of the class, the shining part being his hair. He honored the team with his presence behind the bat, and made several good hits—too bad they all were fouls. LEO SCHORN, who played first base, was a bulwark on defense, because no one could throw the ball over his head. His class work deserves similar praise. WALTER BARR sat in a front seat so Prof, could watch him. but Walter was too slick and got second honors. Thus proving the old saying, “The hand is quicker than the eye.” THEODORE KARCHER. old “Blue Beard.” was a spry little infant who strolled over from the small yard. WILLIAM KIRKPATRICK holds the record for being tardy. It took him a year to save a dollar, and then he bought an Ingersoll watch.

On Sunday evening, Oct. 1, the members of the sodality met to elect officers for the first semester. Fr. F. W. Benoit, who succeeded Fr. Rosswinkel as moderator, presided at the meeting. The following were chosen as officers: Marion Batson, Prefect; John Rose, Assistant: Edmund Kirchner. Treasurer; Richard Mchren, Prefect of Candidates; Patrick Larkin, William Kelly. Sacristans; John Delaney, Frank Carroll, Librarians; Frank E. Morris. Marshal. Later the sodality was divided into six guilds. Each of these had its own guildmastcr, its own officers and its cwn set work to do. They were: The Catechist Guild, under Carlton Bergman, the Library Guild, under J. Winfred Roleke, the Shrine Guild, under Joseph Loftus, the Stamp Guild, under Joseph D. Wade, the St. Vincent dc Paul Guild, under Robert E. Cadis, and the Financial Guild, under Louis Kirchner. The sodality and the mission society, hitherto separate organizations, were fused into one for the purpose of imparting more life to the latter through the agency of the sodality. The officers of the C. S. M. C. were: President. Marion Batson; Vice-President, Edmund Kirchner;. Treasurer, J. Scblegel; Committeeman, J. Costigan. The sodalists who acted as Class Captains of the C. S. M. C. were: Senior. John Delaney; Junior, C. Bergman; Sophomore. W. Smyth: Freshman. J. Costigan; Fourth Classical. T.

In the midst of its activities the sodality was shocked by the death of Rev. Fr. Rossw:nkcl, our former moderator. Our firm belief that he was called to his eternal reward served, however, as a consolation in this bereavement. On the eighth of Deccmbe the sodality held its first reception and fifty-three entrants chose the Blessed Virgin as their patroness and mother. Rev. Fr. Rodman gave a splendid sermon, emphasizing the duty of each sodalist to love and cherish his heavenly mother. After the Christmas holidays sodality activities were resumed and new officers elected. These were: Frank E. Morris, Prefect: Carlton Bergman and Frank Carroll, Assistants; Chas. Blandford, Treasurer; John Delaney, Secretary; Marion Batson. Prefect of Candidates; Samuel McAllister and Leonard Shawe, Sacristans; Ed. Andler and Francis O’Donnell. Librarians; Frank Motherway. Marshal; Carl Haight. Tom Huddy, Wilfred Hayden, John Costigan, J. P. Whelan and George Bothe were appointed Guildmasters. The second reception of candidates was held on Feb. 2. and thirty-six were admitted. Rev. Fr.

The C. S. M. C. Unit. The Mission Society of St. Mary’s is a unit of the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade, a national organization, with headquarters at Cincinnati. The purpose of the parent association is to unite into a band of zealous workers all Catholic students in the country, to promote by prayers. good works and material assistance, all missionary activities, whether at home or abroad. The movement, though of comparatively recent foundation, has grown amazingly and it now numbers over 70.000 active workers. The good that it has accomplished is incalculable. Indeed, if its progress of the past is any criterion, then the Catholic Students’ Mission Crusade is assuredly Marion Batson, destined to play a major role in the forwarding of Cath- Presidcnt olic missionary work throughout the world. Mission Society. The Crusade unit at St. Mary’s, like the parent organization, has expanded rapidly in the last few years. From a small but zealous body in the beginning it has increased to its present membership, embracing the entire school, and its growth in activity has kept pace with its increase in numbers. ' The society was this year incorporated into the sodality and the good work being accomplished was given added momentum by the united effort of both organizations.

Its members, making up in energy what they lacked in size, led the field in mission work. To them was allotted the task of caring for the Grotto.

This society, the leading torensic body of the college, has been a success from its very beginning many years ago; this year especially has it ably upheld the honor and the name ot St. Mary's College. The society encourages its members to take an active part in all the declamatory or debating activities of the college. To members of the society have gone the honors in all these contests, in addition to these, the society holds regular weekly meetings tor debate. The subjects of these debates are the more important of the economical, national and international questions of the day, such as the coal mines, the European debt and immigration. Not only the scheduled speakers lor the evening argue the question for debate, but the members of the house are invited to give their opinions on the matter. The art and skill with which they debated at these meetings speak well for a brilliant future for the participants. The Harbaugh debate, the annual debate held by the society for the Simon Har-baugh medal, attracted the attention of all the members. The question was: Re- solved, That the Coal Mines of the United States Should Be Placed Under Direct Control of the Federal Government. The Washburn debates were suspended this year to make room for the' Provincial Intercollegiate Debates, presided over by E.ev. Michael O’Connor, S. J., of St. Louis University. Though in its first year, thi„ Intercollegiate Debate Conference is decidedly a success. The St. Mary’s team in these contests consisted of Mr. Patrick H. Slattery and Mr. Joseph P. Loftus and the alternates were Messrs. Joseph P. Boland, Robert E. Cadle, Carl H. Haight and Francis P. Motherway, all members of the society. The Ryan Oratorical, the last public contest in which the interests of the Philalethic were concerned, was held on May 14. The contestants were Messrs. Robert E. Cadle, R. Thomas Huddy, Walter J. Loftus, Francis E. Morris, Francis P. Motherway and John P. Rose. Mr. Rose was awarded the medal. Jri DIAL ANNUAL Ninety-Five ’ PUBLIC SPEAKING PATRICK H. SLATTERY, ’23 JOSEPH P. LOFTUS, ’25 INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATES. This year a plan was evolved whereby the twelve colleges and universities of the Missouri province were to engage in intercollegiate debates on some national or international question. The twelve schools were divided into four sections and then, by a process of elimination, the winner was to be decided. A silver cup, emblematic of victory, goes to the winner of the series of debates. Under this system St. Mary’s is in section four, together with Regis College of Denver and Rockhurst College of Kansas City. The question that was debated this year was the timely and much discussed subject of debt cancellation. It read: “Resolved, That the Federal Government Should Demand Payment in Full of All the Allied Debts.” Mr. Patrick H. Slattery, ’23, and Mr. Joseph P. Loftus, ’25, were picked as the representatives of St. Mary’s. Mr. Francis P. Motherway, ’25, was first alternate and chairman of the debates at home. On December 19 the Rockhurst College team came to St. Mary’s and was defeated by a score of two to one. A month later, on January 22. St. Mary’s met and defeated Regis College at Denver by a two to one decision. This second triumph made St. Mary’s champion of section four and gave her the right to debate Creighton U., the winner of section three. So spirited was this contest and so evenly matched were the contestants that it was no easy task to pick the winner. Creighton was awarded the honors, but St. Mary’s won fame for the spirited opposition of her representatives. All honor and praise is due to our debaters. In the final debate the silver cup was awarded to St. Ignatius College, Cleveland, Ohio. DIAL ANAIUAL • Ninety-Six P 'kttory VLoftuj F.Mcthorv'ay F. Horry K r ■ h THE HARBAUGH DEBATE. The twenty-third annual competition for the Harbaugh Debate Medal was held this year, according to custom, on the evening of February 21. The Harbaugh Medal is an award founded in 1900, by Mr. Simon J. Harbaugh, to be given to the best all around speaker in the annual public debate. The contest this year was on the question, “Resolved: That the Coal Mines of this Country Should Be Placed Under the Direct Control of the Federal Government. From the preliminaries to the contest, held early in February, Patrick Slattery, Francis Morris, Francis Motherway and Walter Loft us emerged victorious and secured the right to debate in the public contest. Carl Haight was awarded the Chairmanship. 'I'he auditorium was the scene of the public conflict on February 21. Mr. Slattery and Mr. Luftus comprised the affirmative team and Mr. Motherway and Mr. Morris upheld the negative of the proposition. Mr. Haight as Chairman, opened the discussion. He was followed by the speakers in order. For convincingness of argument, lucidity of proof and clever presentation, the Harbaugh debate of 1923 will long be remembered. It was a contest well up to the traditions established by previous Harbaugh debates. I he decision was awarded to the negative side, composed of Motherway and Mr. Morris.

The Junior Literary Society is an organization of high school students for the purpose of preparing them by written debates and extemporaneous speaking for future membership in the Philalcthic Society, and to give them greater ease in speaking before an audience. This year the roster of the society was made up entirely from Fourth High, the great number in the graduating class prohibiting the admittance of third year students as in former years. The meetings were usually held every two weeks and consisted of a debate, open discussion by the house and an address by the Moderator. The society was unable to obtain any outside debates. Although for the last two years, the best speakers of the society had been pitted against those of the Preparatory Vocational School at Manhattan, we were unable to secure a meeting with them this year, and negotiations with two other schools also failed. Thus the activities of the society were confined to private debates. One of the most ably contested discussions of the year was on the Ku Klux Klan, which was upheld by Thomas Curran and Henry Bean, and attacked by Thomas Wade and Gerald Kreipe. Other subjects debated were the Smith-Towncr Bill, Life Imprisonment and Capital Punishment, the advisability of a United States merchant marine and the advantages of the small college over the large university. The questions were hotly contested and great animation and interest were shown by the house in its discussions. The society is greatly indebted to the tireless effort of Mr.. Clement J. Fuerst, S. J., for its successful year. The Junior Literary Society has in former years been the cradle of some of St. Mary’s finest speakers, and we feel safe in predicting that many of this years members will rise to like heights.

M. C. this year was the Band. The two regular weekly practices of the twenty-eight musicians may be said to be greatly responsible for one of the snappiest bands ever heard here. The new marches and overtures were rendered with a truly martial spirit. Last autumn it was always on hand for the gridiron battles and led the “Fighting Irish,” to the field amid the cheers and applause of the student body. The concerts and other events that mark the endeavors of the Band arc numerous. The American Legion’s program for Armistice day. November 11. was embellished by many spirited marches. As we look into next year with hopes that it mav be as fruitful as this, we arc stirred with a feeling of regret that Paul Jacks will leave us by graduation. The Rev. Moderator. Fr. A. R. Kuenzel, and Prof. Ghysbrecht, Mus. D.. the able Director of this organization, are, in no small measure, responsible for the Band’s striking success. The fine spirit of cooperation and the interest on the part of the musicians, made possible the many long to be remembered concerts. An enviable record has been left behind by the band Organization for 1922-23. S. M. C. Band on way to Kansas City, May, 1923, to take part in Rotary Club’s Boys Parade. One Hundred Four THE COLLEGE ORCHESTRA. The excellent concerts offered by the College Orchestra in the past year have in every way kept up the lofty standard of former years. Many of the old time musicians were back to fill their respective positions, along with a host of new musical talent. Rev. A. R. Kuenzel, as Moderator, and Prof. Ghysbrecht, Mus. D., as Director, have by their untiring efforts, formed its thirty-three members into an organization worthy of the traditions of our Alma Mater. The orchestra was much ifi evidence at the various entertainments in the auditorium and added greatly to the interest of the gatherings. The many marches from Sousa, the overtures such as “Caliph of Bagdad.” by Boieldien. and “Light Cavalry,” by von Suppe, bespeak the ability and talent of this musical body. The smaller groups that make up this organization are deserving of special comment. The Violin Solos by Thomas O’Meara, the Violin Duet by Louis Mueller and William Pielstickcr and the Flute Solos by David Basham, formed special features of the Orchestra’s programs and were accorded a hearty reception. The violin competition reflected much credit on Prof. Ghysbrecht.

Through the years the St. Mary's Glee Club has maintained an excellent standard and this year has been no exception. The first week in October, 1922, Mr. Walsh, S. J., as Moderator, and Prof. Den Hacrynck, Mus. D.. as Director, sat in judgment, which resulted in the selection of a club of twenty songsters. Two practices were held weekly and valuable voice training was received. Two concerts were given and the many numbers presented, were a fine exhibition of the young men’s musical talent and ability. The Choir, made up of the Glee Club and the Special Choir, consisting of eight members selected from the Glee Club and forming a double quartet, arc worthy of the highest praise because of the impressive music prepared for the numerous ceremonies in the Immaculata. The endeavors of the Chapel Choir and tho solemn and affecting Vocal Ducts by Jack Rose and Thurman Zinn, demonstrated the power of song to promote devotion. The work of the Glee Club was not confined to the concerts given during the year. On many occasions individual members revealed their competency by rendering solos as part of the many entertainments. All in all the Glee Club has had a very successful year, one that had the approval and met with the support of all. The achievements of the Club and the judicious selection of good music, give eminence to the inspiring efforts of the Director, Prof. Den Hacrynck, Mus. D. VIOLIN CONTEST RECITAL On the evening of April IS, four members of the Violin classes of Prof. Arthur P. Ghysbrecht met in public contest for the first gold medal ever given at St Mary’s in recognition of proficiency in the art of music. W. Hayden Jones, Louis R. Mueller, Thomas O’Meara, and William F.

DIAL ANNUAL } g WV y- - vW xi _VV— V— DIAL ANYMUAL THE SEN-JUN PLAYERS. THE JUNIOR COLLEGE PLAYERS. This year saw the birth of a new organization at St. Mary’s and incidentally witnessed a forward step in the field of Dramatics. Shortly after the resumption of school, the Senior and Junior classes united to form the Sen-Jun Players, an organization whose functions were to be in the dramatic sphere. J. P. Rose was elected president, E. T. Lenihan, vice-president, and Rev. Fr. Herbers, who has been instrumental in its formation, was the moderator. The endeavors of the society took the form of several plays given at various times during the year. On Thanksgiving evening we were given their first offering. “The Britton Case,” an interesting playlet dealing with the problem of crime. Joseph Morriscy, Edward Lenihan, Walter Pope comprised this cast, and in their initial bow to the public as Sen-Jun Players acquitted themselves noblv. This success was quickly followed bv another. On the evening of December 20. the society presented “A Candle to Christ,” by Daniel Lord, S. J„ a play with a Christmas theme, appropriate to the season. John Rose. Carroll Boland. Frank Morris and Charles Bland ford appeared upon this occasion and by their excellent work further enhanced the Society’s reputation. After Christmas, because of the preparations for the Masque, the organization was unable to continue its work. Yet the new body has in its first year built up an enviable reputation and it is the sincere wish of every student that it may live in the future. On Thanksgiving night, the Small Yard entertained the student body and the visitors, by their meritorious presentation of the one-act play, “No. 15729.” An escaped convict comes to the house of the Bishop for food. The convict, due to prison life, is a misanthrope in every sense of the word. His antipathy for Church and Religion is remarkably portrayed. However, the Bishop’s pleadings win him to the faith and to proper feelings for his fellow man. The part of the convict was well taken by Kenneth Gregory. His work certainly promises much for his future in the line of dramatics. John Berg made an ideal bishop, in fact, one that would be loved in real life. Gerald Morriscy. as the bishop’s nephew, a really clever lx y, added much to the interest of the audience. John Walsh upheld the law as a French gendarme. Taken all in all these budding artists should do much for St. Mary’s dramatics during the rest of their sojourn here. One Hundred Eifiht DRAMA ! V f V - THE MASQUE. As a distinguished feature of its Diamond Jubilee (year) celebration the college will present a Masque entitled ‘ The Mother of Youth” on June 10, 11 and 12. The Masque is an allegorical representation of the protection afforded youth by the Blessed Virgin under the guise of St. Mary’s. Youth is the leading character of the play. The opening scene portrays the joy in heaven upon the birth of youth on earth. The second scene shows the consternation and hate at the same event in Hell. Evil calls a conference ot Ins conorts and they decide to capture the boy’s soul. For this accomplishment they come to earth and slay his earthly mother. However, the Blessed Virgin sends down St. Mary’s to guide him. The boy goes to college under the protection of his heavenly guide and becomes one of her knights. Evil again pursues him under the guise of ambition and for a time seems likely to win him over but due to his protector, all turns out well and Youth returns to his heavenly home a victor. The undertaking itself is a stupendous one involving much preparation. Over four hundred characters will participate. One-half of these will be college students while the female speaking parts will l e handled by members of the Immaculate Conception Parish. The local Catholic High School will send three groups of dance choruses while Marymount College ot Salina, Kan., Mt. Carmel Academy of Wichita and St. Mary’s Academy ot Leavenworth will send one group each. The magnitude of such a production as the Masque makes it necessary to practice each group separately and the whole cast will come together but once in a general dress rehearsal the day before its first public presentation. It was found necessary to build a larger stage in the east end of the college auditorium; also to install a new system of lights, essential for the scenic beauty of the Masque, as it depends a great deal upon colored lighting effects. The production was written and the music arranged by Rev. Daniel Lord S. J., of St. Louis University, St. Louis, Mo., and the scenic effects planned by Kev. Louis Egan, S. J., also of St. Louis University. Father Lord is well known throughout the country, especially in Mid-Western states, as an exponent of “The Little Theatre” movement. He produced and personally directed the St. Louis University Centennial Pageant in 1918, which required a cast of over four hundred actors and which received much favorable criticism from the press. Both men paid a short visit to the college after Easter to get things started. After their departure Fr. Kuhlman, S. J., assumed charge and has worked unsparingly for a successful production. He has been fortunate in having as assistant, Miss Regina Pessimier who has charge of the dancing groups from St. Mary’s City and Mr. J. Winfred Roleke ’24 who has charge of the college dancers. Mr. John P. Rose, ’23, will portray Youth while opposed to him will be Mr. C. M. Boland, ’24, as Evil. Both these men are well known in college circles for their ability to act and without a doubt they will be at their best in that greatest of all St. Mary’s Productions, “The Mother of Youth.” DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Nine MOTHER OF YOUTH.

Enthusiasm is not confined to those who actually participate, for the rest of the student body, especially in the case of competition with the other colleges of the Missouri province, is as anxious to see some St. Mary’s student obtain distinction as the actual representatives are to gain-the honor. The contests arc both intramural and intercollegiate. The Costello Catechetical Essay, the Alumni Essay and the American History arc contests in which only students of this college take part. The main events, however, are the intercollegiate English and Latin contests, in which all the Jesuit colleges of the Missouri Valley Province compete. ...The gold medal in the Costello Catechetical, this year, was given Bates, ’25, for the best essay on “The Providence of Qod.” to Maurice T. Charles H. Blandford, ’25, received the Alumni medal for the best ssay on “Robert Hugh Benson, Novelist and Literary Artist.” Wilfrid H. Hayden, ’25, was awarded eighth place in the Intercollegiate English. • Tt is no small honor to be among the first ten in either this or the intercollegiate Latin contest. The subject for this year’s essay was “The Need of Religion in Modern Education.” St. Mary’s surpassed all the other colleges in receiving four places out of a possible ten in the Latin contest last year. This year Wilfred Hayden obtained eighth place in the Latin Intercojlcgiate contest. I he high school men also were well up in the running this year. Daniel Johnston proyed his worth in the American History contest, for which Father Elast of Delia, Kansas, offered a Gold Medal. James Mooney won a purse of $25.00 for the best letter advertisement, presenting the merits of a prominent firm’s chain of stores.

STUDENT PUBLICATIONS The Dial and The Hour Glass Some thirty-four years ago a group of ambitious literary geniuses at St. Mary’s College conceived the idea of starting a college publication. “The Dial” was chosen as its name and with pride the first number was edited. This number was the model as well as the image of “The Dials” to come. Within the covers of that first issue were to be found works of high literary merit, which merit was destined to be the standard of all future “Dials.” The work was carried on and each year saw a larger and a more complete magazine. In the spring of 1919 a great step was taken in the Dial association. It was found that there was sufficient matter to simply two publications. Un to this time the “Dial” had been a monthly, devoted to local happenings. Alumni and school news, as well as literarv articles. This news matter served to restrict the number of the stories and articles. Therefore in the snr:n r of 1919. by the combined efforts of Mr. Mullanev. S. J-. and Tohn L. Porter. A. B., ’20. the Hour Glass, a bi-monthly school paper, was started and the Dial was made a quarterly. Since that time the Dial has prospered and its old standard has been kept. Furthermore it has been possible for the men engaged with its publication to devote their time to special editions. Among the noteworthy Dials may be mentioned the Service number and the Golden Jubilee number. Last year the fourth number of the Dial was made a “Dial Annual” and it received such enthusiastic welcome that this year a separate “Dial Annual” will be edited. This year the leadership of the “Dial” has been held by Louis L. Kirchne-r. A. B., ’23. Through his energy as well as the combined efforts and worthy cooperation of his staff, under the guidance of Rev. T. A. Berens. S..J., we have had four most interesting Dials. The Autumn. Christmas. Spring and Jubilee numbers will always be an honor to the staff of the thirty-fourth volume of the “Dial.” In 1919, the starting of the Hour Glass, “the little brother of the Dial,” was an experiment but from the very beginning it has been a success. It is a paper published twice a month, with the news and happenings of the school; a student paper for the student. Under capable editors it has grown and flourished until now it is regarded as an indispensable organ of the school. This vear under the editorship of Edward T. Lenihan. ’24. and the assistance of his co-workers the Hour Glass has continued to prosper. Beginning with the first issue in September. the Hour Glass grew in popularity with each succeeding issue and, due to this, a six page issue replaced the former four page sheet. Having fulfilled his term as editor, Edward Lenihan's position was conferred on the editor for the coming year. Joseph P. Loftus, ’25. In the editions he has edited. Mr. Loftus has shown his ability and we feel safe in saying that the Hour Glass will prosper in the year to come.

DIAL, ANNUA One Hundred Eighteen LITERARY THE DIAL ANNUAL In 1922 came the birth of a Dial Annual. Formerly St. Mary's College had been without a year book and a school of this size without one seemed incomplete. A year book was both desired and feasible. Did not the success of the former special numbers of the Dial show that? It was through the diligence and insistence of John J. Boland, A. B., '22, that the Annual was born. Under his leadership and with the help of Fr. J. A. Berens, S. J., plans were formed and the Annual was started. At first it was planned to have the Annual separate from the Dial proper, but lack of time and material prevented this. The result was that the Annual was combined with the fourth issue of the Dial and a DIAL ANNUAL was published. The work was a great success and all who have seen that publication will agree that it was a creation to be admired. Things in and about the school and buildings, familiar scenes, classes, societies, snapshots and other pictures of varying character filled its pages. The success of last year’s Annual is the foundation of this year’s work. Guided by Paul H. Jacks. A. B., ’23. and supervised by Fr. J. A. Berens. S. J., the Annual shows the work of skilled hands. The present work is the realization of the plans of last year. It has been made a separate publication, with its own staff. Credit is due cspeciallv to the men in charge of the departments. Marion Batson. William Ramacciotti. Francis Carroll. Frank Morris, Winfred Roleke. Joseph Wade, Joseph Schlegel and Frank Huck. Our artists deserve the highest praise for their self-sacrificing efforts to enhance the appearance of the book. Joseph Schlegel designed the introductory pages, the first page of the College Views section and the ornamental border. William Ramacciotti gave unsparingly of his time to ensure an adequate historical record. The Staff wishes to acknowledge its indebtedness to Father Scott for innumerable photographs and to Mr. Frank Willard for the photographic studies which appear in the College Views section.

Batson As the ANNUAL glances back over the football season of 1922, it notes the proud bearing and smiling front of the team after one memorable game, namely, St. Mary’s second consecutive victory over Washburn. For many days Coach Conway had been hardening both line and backfield for the day when the “Icha-bods” should come. They came. After three minutes of play the greater strength of the “Irish” began to show itself and by the end of the first half, Rose had crossed their goal three times and broken the opponents’ hopes. In the second half while Washburn was trying to stage a come-back, the line held like a wall, and Mahoney and Bergman won rousing cheers from the sidelines when each caught passes and dashed for touchdowns after runs of eighty and sixty yards respectively. The final chalkmarks were 32-7. However, to recall the games in the order in which they were played we have first the clash with St. Benedict’s. A good fight was put up by the men representing St. Benedict’s, but Capt. Batson and his men came through with a four-touchdown victory, two of them being accredited to Mahoney. The next week found the Blue and Whites at home with the experienced and heavy Normals from Emporia. The encounter was a terrific battle from whistle to whistle, although the “Saints” were defeated, they succeeded in holding the “Yellow-Jackets” down to a single touchdown, which was done by only two other teams during the season. “Fightin’ Jew” Mehren was the visitors’ greatest worry. During the next two weeks, S. M. gaining her feet again went to Ottawa and more than evened up an old score by defeating them 13-0. It was a hard game all the way through, both teams fighting to the limit. It was Bergman’s big day and with his old speed and sidestep the redoubtable “Carl” proved the most consistent ground gainer S. M. had. DIAL ANAFUAL |p One Hundred Twenty-One .-X ; - x k ot- x xirxx r=x xi=x r- The next week saw the “Tigers’' from Hays go clown to defeat before the onslaughts of the Conwaymcn under the weight of three touchdowns. In 1921 Hays defeated S. M. by a score of 14-7 and it was in retaliation for this that the “Irishers” fought. A1 Bahl. showing unusual skill and strength, made 160 yards from scrimmage and one of the touchdowns, playing one of the best offensive games at fullback seen on S. M. field since the days of Langhoff. McPherson came the next week and found us still in the throes of victory and a trifle overconfident, and so with the help of a muddy field they won by a score of 14-12. As a glance at the summary will show S. M. really had the edge, but the “Bulldogs” succeeded in making good use of the odds given them. Again in the mud S. M. wrestled with the Wesleyans and came through with the small end of a 6-0 score. As the men say, “It was some game.” For St. Mary’s Bergman seemed to be the only man capable of keeping his feet for gains. Next came the Washburn game, and following it on Thanksgiving Day was the Alva Normal game. .Elated by the Washburn victory the “Saints” felt too confident and consequently the big jump of the first half went to the opponents and although we came back in the last half with great force and with some terrific line smashes by McDonnell we were unable to gain the lead. The score was 31-19. The final result of the season was four games won and four lost, with our objective games recorded on the credit side.

MARION BATSON, Captain—“Babe” —St. Mary’s will long remember the brilliant work of her “star tackle. On defense “Babe” was adamant, breaking up the fiercest of plunges, and on offense it was remarkable how he could always make a hole that would insure an advance. Babe modestly avoids publicity, but his sterling character and efficient leadership won him merited recognition. CARLTON, BERGMAN, Captain-Elect—“Gus”—Carl holds down the halfback position with the best of ’em. One look at him in action is enough to convince anyone that he certainly deserved “honorable mention on the All-State Eleven.” A sure tackier, a hard lugger and handy with his punting. Next year is Bcrgie’s last and that he will make the most of it we have no doubt. JOHN ROSE—“Red”—In losing “Red” this year we lose one of the flashiest halfbacks St. Mary’s has had. Fast on his feet, he was a consistent ground-gainer, a true passer, able to drop-kick and punt when necessary and at all times a heady player. In the Washburn game alone “Red” scored three touchdowns. His will be a place hard to fill. CARROLL BOLAND — “Carol”—To realize one’s ambitions after having steadily climbed each step of the ladder is no feat to be sniffed at. This year Carroll became a regular and played in nearly every game. At end, he is at his best. Carroll has one more year with us. LOUIS McEVOY—“Wheat”—Mac belongs with the “all-staters.” He was seen at end this year, and how that boy literally made things “hum.” A sure tackier, on punts he is down, waiting patiently for the man to catch the ball. “Mac” has two more years to carve his name high up in the S. M. hall of fame. EDMUND KIRCHNER — “Eddie”— Eddie used his six feet two to excellent advantage at “end” this year. His work was steady and reliable. He broke up many an attempted gain around end and surely could snare in short passes. Kirch will be with us next year. One Hundred Twenty-Four ssssa3 WILLIAM KELLY — “Tiny” — The “Tiny” is short for small elephant. Kelly had the weight and strength that makes a good guard. This was his third year on the team, but owing to injuries received he was so handicapped as at times not to be at his best. EDWARD KENNEDY—“Ed’—Ed’s first year revealed him as a steady backficld man and a peerless leader of interference. We hope he'll W be back next year. JOHN M c DON N ELL—“ M a c”—Th ey call him “Little Mac”—but for a little fellow he sure hits hard. Recall his work in the Turkey Day game? As a general of the team he is without ?. peer. His first year with us, and we hope he’ll be back in September, 1923. RICHARD MEHREN—“Jew”—A true lover of the game, and overbrimming with fight, grit and ability. Though a light man on the scales. “Jew” ably held down the pivot position. His work aga'nst the Emporia Normals was spectacular. ALBERT BAHL—“Al”—“Al” came to St. Mary’s after having been the chief works on the “Hays Catholic College” eleven. He filled the shoes of the famous “Ram” of ’21. His work at fullback inspired confidence and he should prove one of S. M.’s best men in the backficld next year. S A M U EL M c A LL1 ST E R—“ Sa n dy ”— “Big Jim” is the ideal linesman. At tackle “Sandy” was a man to be feared, hard to get by and a terror on offense. With one year to his credit, Sandy will be seen on the S. M. field for two more seasons. DIAL 0� i«r Hundred Twenty-Five ATHLETICS ELMER PORTER—“Potsy”—Elmer was a very valuable man. Either at center or at guard he is hard to beat. He has the weight and knows how to use it. At center his passing was true and swift, and at guard he somehow managed to be always in on every play. “Potsy” has done yeoman service during the past two years. PAUL NOMILE—“Carp”—That Paul lias every quality needed by a lineman, his record at guard shows beyond doubt. He was in every game and his work was brilliant. “Carp” is indeed a fortunate find and will be with us two more years. AVERY BATSON,— “Johnny” — He was in the game with characteristic Batson stamina. Johnny is a freshman, but we forgive him that when we see him fighting on the gridiron. M AURICE MAHONEY—“Red”— “Red” is a real fighter, and one of the most elusive quarter backs seen on the local field this year. As an open field runner, he rates with the best. As a proof of this, need we mention his 80-yard run against Washburn ? PATRICK SLATTERY — “Cuban” — The 1922 club was very fortunate in having the service of “Pat” as manager. Pie was a great asset towards furnishing spirit and support for the team. “Pat” knew his business, as the results attest. RAYMOND GILLIS—“Horse”—Ray played his first year of football and with a skillful mastery of his 240 pounds, he set up an enviable record at guard. If “Horse” shows as much improvement next fall he is certain to be in the ranks of the top-notchcrs.

Upon the call for candidates for the High School football team, forty men responded. After a brief workout under skilled hands the squad dwindled down to 22 men, who represented the academy for 1922. They showed an abundance of energy and spirit, which was the main factor in their success. The team was not organized until the middle of the season and this accounted for their small schedule. The following games were played: Opp. S. M. H. Manhattan vs. St. Mary’s :.... 0 13 Mayetta vs. St. Mary’s 13 13 Rockhurst vs. St. Mary’s (At Kansas City).. 7 6 Capt. Curran starred throughout the season with many long runs and hard line plunges. He was impossible to stop and it was mainly through his brilliant head work that the S. M. Academy Team was successful. Brumgardt, Schawe, Bean, Murphy, and Mulvey also did stellar work at their positions. The football leagues of this year deserve great praise. There were two leagues organized. In first league, the captains were: Lonergan, Luepke, and Howard. In second league they were: O’Meara, Murphy, and Jones. Each team had a schedule of ten games and all were exceptionally hard fought. In first league all three teams were well matched, but Lonergan’s outfit even though outweighed by their opponents came forth victorious by defeating Luepke-by one touchdown. This was easily the hardest fought game of the season. Howard was under a handicap due to injuries contracted in the early season. Luepke and Lonergan played good football throughout and their teams’ good showing is due in a large part to their individual efforts. Second league enabled those of the lighter class to show their ability which they did in good style. The hardest fought games of the season were those l e-tween O’Meara and Murphy. For the championship O’Meara and Murphy tied. The deciding game was never played, due to cold weather. “Ford” Knglum starred for O’Meara, while “Red” McCarty and Murphy played excellent ball on the latter’s team. Jones showed real spirit throughout, but his line was rather weak. JZ DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Twenty-Nine BASKET BALL SQUAD Top Row (left to right)—P. Jacks (Mgr.), McDonnell, Whelan. E. Kirchner, T.

The 1923 basket ball season probably has not been duplicated in St. Mary’s experience in basket ball. First with regard to the score record, two games won out of fourteen played; and second, the splendid display of dogged perseverance which was shown by every member of the squad and by all the students. And after all, the main purpose of athletics is the training of character, and no better training can be had than for the loser gamely to smile and give the victor words of congratulation. After a long string of defeats the boys came back bravely in the last game and ended the season with a victory. In this way, at least, the basket ball season was not without its compensations. We lost the first three games, Bethany, Ottawa and Washburn, all by rather small margins. Then came the first victory, the K. C. U. game, which we won despite disadvantages. However, that victory for a long time seemed to be a lone star in a a dark night, for we lost to Washburn, Kansas Wesleyan, twice to Hays, a second time to Ottawa, to Rockhurst, twice to Pittsburg and to Kansas City College of Osteopathy. The last game of the season was with Rockhurst, and from the fact that it turned out to be a victory shows that the old spirit of perseverance that characterized every man on the squad, was still alive. BASKET BALL LEAGUES League Basket Ball for 1923 excited interest from the initial games to the fin� l ones played for the championships. There were four leagues and every class was represented by some one of the teams, and consequently the competition was keen throughout, in the first league the Sophomore team proved to be the superior quintet, losing one game, and that to the Senjun team.

This is the eighth consecutive state title in baseball to be won by the Saints. The Varsity this year ably upheld the St. Mary’s reputation. They presented a well balanced team possessing equal power on offense and defense. The season opened on Easter Monday l eforc a large crowd of visitors with Haskell Indians as opponents. The Braves won 10-8. The Saints then settled down to business and won seven straight before they were stopped by Oklahoma University on May 2. In that game the Sooncrs opened an attack on McDonnell in the first inning, scored three runs and drove him from the Iwx in the third. Theilan held them in check until the ninth when they scored five more runs winning 11-4. The Kansas Aggies were defeated a second time on May 5, in a close game by a 2-1 score. In order to show that the home grounds made no difference in their playing, the Saints took a trip westward after trouncing Washburn 16-1. On this trip they won two games from Hays, one a fourteen inning affair, and one from Bethany at Lindsborg.

SLATTERY—“Pat”— the diminutive captain of this year’s baseball team, in this his fourth year on that famous aggregation played his usual stellar game in left field. He was graduated simultaneously from both the baseball and the scholastic field this June, but we will always remember him as a sterling sportsman and a man who always had the best interest of the school and the team at heart. JOHN J. ROSE—The “Jack” of football, basketball, and baseball fame, also has been lost via graduation this year. His spectacular work at shortstop and his “stuff with the stick” has put a fitting close to his seven year sojourn here. It is with sad hearts that we see him go. WALTER POPE—“Sugar Foot”—the third of the graduates on this year’s team proved himself both an outfielder and an infielder of marked ability. This was his first year on the squad, but he gained the applause of the fans. JOHN H. McDON.NELL—“Shino — the speed-ball artist from “The Bay State,” gave some of the prettiest exhibitions of mound work that it has ever been our pleasure to witness. When he wasn't in the box, he was in center field, and there in big league style. The way he hit the ball was responsible for many runs. LEONARD SCHAWE—“Lcn”—made the squad as a pitcher, played the first game of the season at third and since then behind the bat. This is “Lcn’s” first year as a backstop. He shows promise of becoming another “Walsh” or a “Dowling.” DIAL ANAUAL One Hundred Thirty-Five 4 SAMUEL McALLISTER—“Big Jim” —is the “Old Reliable ” He always turns in a good steady game from the pitcher’s box, and his brainy coaching of the bases is responsible for many scores. This is his third year as a member of the twirling staff. LAWRENCE TH El LAN—“Larry” repeated his performance of last year. He did things to the ball that made it seem almost invisible to the opposing players. His batting average is well up in the running. FRANCIS TRIPE—This is “Fran’s” first year on the squad. Although he did not get much of a chance to show his wares that right-angle break to his curves looks very promising to say the least. HARRY BRAZEAU—“Ha hails from elite Boston and handles the hot corner in an educated manner. He has a disconcerting way of tagging a base runner. When he gets on he is never caught napping. This is his second year on the team. DIAL. ANAUAL JOHN MORRISEY—“Jack” kept up the good reputation of the Morrisey family by filling in any vacant positions in the infield or outfield. When sent in as a pinch hitter he usually produced results. One Hundred Thirty-Six x x ;rrx yj xy, x _V X, THOMAS MURPHY—“Spuds —Play-ing his first year on the squad, covered the initial sack like a veteran. His timely hits were always a feature of the game. We arc looking for great things from him in the next few years. NEIL RITENHOUSE—”Rit” is the man behind the team. No doubt it was through inspiration that he was picked to manage this year’s squad. He was a willing worker and always pushing for the team and the school. WALTER CONWAY. Coach — “Coach’s” second year in our midst has been a successful one, to say the least. The showing of the baseball team has emphasized his ability as Coach of the Blue and White. Here’s hoping he will be with us many more years. THOMAS CURRAN—“Senor” covered both the center and right fields in a way that ruined many a safe hit. He saw to it, however, that the opposing fielders had plenty of exercise when he wielded the club. LOUIS A. McEVOY—“Luke” was a member of the pitching staff and already has one letter, but sickness during part of the season, kept him inactive. JOSEPH MORRISEY— Joe” always knew his place on every play. He could patrol the outergardens with ability when the need occurred. He has one of the leading batting averages. DIAL ANJMUAL One Hundred Thirty-Seven ATHLETICS LEAGUE BASEBALL The baseball leagues this year aroused a great deal of interest among the students. A large number of games were played. The frequently upsets and exciting contests brought many spectators to the side lines every “rec day. The class teams were split up into two divisions, the College and Fourth High classes being in First League and the others in second. The four Bush League aggregations were captained by Loftus, Ross, Ramacciotti and McCann. In First League the Sophomores were undefeated up to the middle of May, although they won out in two games by only one run. Howell, pitcher, and Morris, catcher, did fine work and the hitting of DeNoya accounted for many runs. Fourth Classical and Fourth Scientific were the most dangerous contenders. Weber and Wade, of the former, made what was perhaps the l)est battery in the League. Jones and Bourg played stellar ball for Fourth Scientific. The Senjun? were always to be feared, and walloped Fourth Scientific by hitting savagely behind Ed Kirchner’s fine hurling. Second League provided a number of upsets. Third English tore up all opposition until they met Second A. Pitchers Gillin and Griesmcr, of the latter, seemed to have the Indian sign on the Third English sluggers and set them down twice. However, they were in turn beaten bv Third A and Second English and the race developed into a free for all, with Third A and Third English having the best chance. Loftus and McCann were staging a merry contest in the Bush League when this went to press. Great praise is due to Mr. Meyer, S. J., for his efficient handling of the leagues. Dial and Lonergan proved their worth as umpires and were not mobbed during the entire season. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION BANQUET 5 DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Thirty-Eight ATHLETICS “RECALLING THOSE DAYS” By Mr. E. C. Quigley : : - H r : ■ ; Looking back from the “Lights of Broadway” to the small confines of the old “Flats,” (the home of the old-time Philosophers), is not such an effort, but a resume of St. Mary's athletics during the time the writer was “Director of Athletics” there with no data at hand except a repetition of pleasant memories, must lack definite details and dates. Three dates arc indelibly fixed: Oct. 2, 1902, when the writer first arrived at St. Mary’s; April 1, 1914, when our term of service came to a close, and Saturday, October 8. 1910, the day we held the ever victorious Kansas University team to a 9 to 5 score on McCook Field. To be sure, athletics at St. Mary’s, during the year of 1902 and for many years preceding, were strong; but as we all look back at those days now, we realize that St. Mary’s, like other schools of that time, just “played” football and baseball. There was no athletic policy in the small colleges; there was an absence of proper administration both in the business and technical phases of sport; and then, .oo, few small colleges had coaches. In foot ball our schedule consisted f of a few college games. For years the big game at St. Mary’s was the annual bt. Mary’s-Kansas City Medic game. Ottawa, Fairmount, the Normals and Kansas Aggies made up the college competition. Later on when St. Mary’s became a member of the Kansas College Conference, our schedule called for games with Kansas University, Kansas Aggies, Washburn, Fairmount, Friends, Southwestern. Kansas Normals, College of Emporia, Ottawa and William Jewell. At different times, Warrens-burg Normal, Drury College and Marauctte University tested their brains' and brawn with our boys and not to the discredit of St. Mary’s. The writer has been asked what made our football teams from 1903 until 1912 so uniformly successful, and. without hesitancy, the answer must be: morale and cooperation. The world loves a winner and the writer cared little for moral victories. The letters won in athletics were highly prized, and no one w(jrc them but a “letter man.” In football the men sacrificed their morning recess time to run signals in the yard; the afternoon recess period was used for classroom work on rules, interpretations and plays; at 4:30 P. M. the squad took to the track; and the third hour at night was used for signal and formation work, sometimes in the present Senior Billiard room, which was our Gymnasium, sometimes in the Junior recreation room, which was their “gym.” Our football season was a continual session of toil, and, I believe after all was over, it was time well spent. Our teams were made up mostly from the leagues and these league teams were coached by squad men. It was an unwritten law that each Second League team had to be coached by a “letter man.” and when you had league teams coached by such sterling boys—and boys they were—as “Shorty” Bennett, Fess” Mooney, “Corncy” Stoll. “Dutch” Kistner and “Tommy” Burns, is it any wonder that we had more material than we needed? The other leagues had squad men coaching them and it was not surprising to have a fourth league player make the “Varsity” the next year, because he knew what to do. DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Thirty-Nine ATHLETICS n F You might ask “How could this be done?” The writer learned foot ball and its fundamentals at Kansas University, but learned more about offense and defense every year afterwards through officiating. Sunday afternoon, the squad at the grave-yard would always get a play, maybe two, used by some team in its Saturday game. Year by year we built up a system of play that became entirely a “St. Mary’s offense” and the plays, shifts and all, even the signals, were drilled into the Second League teams by their coaches. When those boys came up to the “Varsity” they were better coached than the average high-class High School team. I have been asked to pick an “All St. Mary’s” foot ball team. You know I have been for years opposed to “All Teams,” but, for just once, I’ll break over. Having coached teams that played both the old and the new game, I feel that in justice to all there must be an Old-style All Team” and a “New-stylc All Team.” “All St. Mary’s Team” as chosen by Mr. Quigley: Old Style” Pos. “Open Game” “Jack” Purcell.....................C..............................“Jew” Burns Pete Falkcnburg....................G...............................John Conrad Leo Cleary.........................G..............................Chas.

The “Cubs,” Detroit “Tigers,” Buffalo, St. Paul American Association, Denver and Topeka Western League clubs all helped make our baseball teams what they were. The “Big Leaguers” would give the boys good advice—a secret (the boys would then tell me and together we would work it all out and finally we all thought we knew a little about baseball). It is a pleasure now to look back on those days in baseball and realize that St. Mary’s base ball teams really did play an exceptional brand of ball. We had the pitchers and we had the catchers. The hitters were there and the boys did enjoy playing correct ball. How satisfying it was to see each one develop! How interested they all were! To pick an “All-Time BascBall Team” is quite a task, but as long as you ask for one here goes: Tom Walsh...................................................Catcher “Speedy” Swift.............................................Catcher “Toots” Collins............................................1st base Semi Collins...............................................2nd base Tommy Burns................................................3rd base Walter Walsh..............................................Shortstop Mark Gross................................................Left Field “Shorty” Bennett........................................Center Field “Hcinic” Rauth...........................................Right Field Utility Infielders: “Prof.” Scanlon—“Biscuit” Ruwart. Utility Outfielders: “Honk” Rozier—“Pete” Falkcnburg. Pitchers: “Father” Hill, Cy Young, Clarence Bakule, Jo-Jo Hendrix, “Chin” Green. “Hank” Collins, “Jock” Mahoney, “Ropic” Hayden. I have stated that the success of the teams was spelled in morale and cooperation. Many an enjoyable night was spent cither in the “blue-grass” or in the “smoking-room.” Those old-time “Stay-ups” just meant everything to the boys. They lived over and played over each game. The coffee and cakes came in due time—the stogies were lighted and each run scored was made a hundred times before the “Squad” answered the pocket bell of the prefect. COOPERATION.—Those of you who enjoyed even one year of squad privileges at St. Mary’s know that that word was spelled in more ways than one. To some of you it was Whelan,” to others “Kenney,” to many others Hermans”—to those later on “Hoffman,” and after that “O’Connell.” To me, these men just made athletics what they were at St. Mary’s College. S DIAL AN7MUAL One Hundred Forty ATHLETICS REMINISCENCES By Mr. S. O'Rourke As I travel the road of Yesterdays and find myself once again a lad in grammar school, I can recall very graphically the manner in which I used to digest Father Finn’s stories about old St. Mary’s. Even as a youngster in an Eastern city, the Blue Grass, the Small Yard; Pawnee creek and “Stay Ups” were mystic and magic names to me—and the St. Mary’s of “Tom Playfair,” “Percy Wynn” and “Harry Dee,” was my dream school. My grammar school days passed away and, with youth approaching, the elders at home directed me to other scholastic fields—yet my early impressions of St. Mary’s, gleaned from the pages of the famous Jesuit author, always lingered with me. Hence, when I began my career as coach of athletics at the dream school of my youth, 1 was a stranger to St. Mary’s—but St. Mary’s was no stranger to me. In September, 1915, when I took over the coaching position, the names of Mat” Carpenter, Jimmy Bray, Pough Walsh, “Tommy” Burns, Ray Dockery, “Shorty” Bennett, Eddie Murphy, Paul Kistner, Percy Burns, Langhoff and a host of others who contributed much to the athletic tradition }f the Blue and White were still on the lips of the students. The feats of these athletes and the excellent record of all of Mr. Quigley’s athletic teams seemed to be beacon lights—inspirations, as it were, for the students to follow and to be guided by. 1 was enthusiastically received and that enthusiasm, that genuine old St. Mary’s spirit, helped me miraculously in my pleasant associations with the St. Mary’s students during my six years as coach of her athletic teams. Yet here, I must say, that the little success obtained by the teams during my administration as coach was due, first to the old traditional spirit of the school, and second to the wonderful assistance, cooperation and suggestions given to me by the First Perfects—viz: Mr. Walsh, S. J., Mr. Petit, S. J., Mr. Holton, S. J., and Mr. Bennett, S. J. These four Jesuit scholastics always had the interests of the St. Mary’s boys at heart. They anticipated their every want and in victory were the first to congratulate. In defeat, their words of counsel and good cheer were incentives to overcome defeat’s sting. Conrad, Gavin, Gancy, Bannantine, Gatz, Smith, Lamb, Devitt, Sipes, Kigali, Armstrong of the football team of 1915 can well remember our campaign of defeats. A rift in the skies did not seem possible, yet that 1915 knew the meaning of the St. Mary’s spirit, and guided by that, possibly the most enjoyable victory during my stay there as coach, was gained on Thanksgiving Day of that season. The students of that year can recall the Doane-St. Mary’s game. With the Nebraskans leading 7 to 3, and out a minute to play, Kigali caught a punt and ran sixty yards to a touchdown and a victory. This was our only victory of the year, yet the fight, the determination, and the spirit displayed by the 1915 squad in defeats became a tradition for the following football elevens. In the winter of 1916 St. Mary’s Basketball team for the first time entered the Kansas Conference with a standing of seven wins out of fourteen games played. Old boys of that year can remember our first conference victory. Fairmount College was our opponent. The Wichita quintet was leading 24 to 23 and as the timer’s whistle announced the close of the game, “Marty” O’Toole’s shot from the center of the court, was sailing majestically through the air. The proverbial hush was in evidence, and as the ball glided gracefully through the net, giving the Blue and White a victory by one point, even Father Louis O’Connor S. J., then Prefect of Studies, momentarily forgot his dignity and joined the pandemonium of the crowd by boisterously slapping Father Kuhlman, S. J., on the back. Marty O’Toole—how well the old boys of 1916 remember him—a true type of the real St. Mary’s boy, whom God called to His Home, while in our midst. 5 DIAL ANNUAL il 1 One Hundred Forty-One ATHLETICS “Joe Canary was captain of the baseball team in the spring of 1916. The season marked the debut of a youngster, “Pug” Dowling, who was the best college catcher in the west. Pike Sipes, Everet and Reardon composed a trio of pitchers, that baffled Kansas University, Haskell and the “Aggies.” Floyd Hemp, who died while serving his country in France, played a wonderful game that spring at short. Griffith at third, “Shorty” Siefrct in center and “Hook Ganey on second, were the others who assisted Canary’s team to win the first conference championship under my reign as coach. Circumstances—to be explained by the editor—limit me in time and in space, or i could review the athletic teams of other years in a similar manner. 1 place particular stress on my first year because, as 1 said, these teams of T5 and TO displayed a true St. Mary’s spirit, a spirit that was followed in other years. My teams from the fall of 1910, to the spring of 1921, were largely made up of students who were in the Small Vard during my first year at St. Mary's. They were greatly influenced by the examples ot suen men as Gat , Conrad, Kigali, O’Toole, Ganey and the others; and when they assumed the role ot Varsity athletes, they imitated to a great extent the men on the teams mentioned above. beginning with the fall of 1V16, the Small Yard” athlete guided my Varsity teams. Students of the present day remember the names Curran, orone, Dearborn, Redmond, Morrison, McGlynn, Porter, Shields, Kirk, Chi-cione, bussey, Munalls, Gavin, Dan Malone, Circus” Walsh. These and many others helped to make the athletic years of 1910-191 successful in football, basketball and baseball. Conradt, captain ot the football team, which lost only two games out of nine played, and Kigan, again captained the basketball team, which finished the season witn thirteen wins out of titteen games played. The succeeding years were more conspicuous than ever for the Small Yard athlete. Lew Lane, tom Kelly, Joe McGmley, Tom Boland, Bergman, DeNoya, Dearborn, Rousseau, Carry Magner, Nip Dunn, Mitchell, Rose, Faby, McGlincney, Jack Boland, Gannon, Vinnie” Burns, John Forter, Bud” Luepke, Haskins, vaulted tne small lence and immediately made names lor themselves not only as athletes for St. Mary's, but, by tneir ail around athletic ability and wonderful sportsmanship, gained recognition throughout the whole Kansas conference. All of the above mentioned made one of the Kansas Conference mythical teams, while Lane, Kelly, Boland, Magner and Dunn were placed on both football and basketball teams, the league sponsored by the rrcfects produced the other Varsity athletes during those years, and these athletes rose equally to the heights of the Small Carders. Kamacciotti, Batson, Kelly, Slattery, Mahoney, Finnigan, Regan, Bret , Brown, Fife, McAvoy, McAllister, Korth, jaines Bannantinc, John U Connor, Joe O’Connor, Casey, Clavin, Carlin, Chicoine, Fisher, McNcivc, Oxly, Doc” Miller, Bill” Hogan, DuBrouillet wore the colors of the Blue and White gloriously in victory and defeat and these, too, had among their number many who were placed on the all-state teams of Kansas. There is an atmosphere about a St. Mary’s boy that makes his presence felt regardless of what he is doing, whether at play or at study. He loves to play, to lead an adventurous and honorable youth when recreation is at hand. In study periods he displays the same earnestness toward his books that characterizes his work in hours of leisure. The student body of St. Mary’s know the traditions of the school, they delight in rehearsing them, and the new boy at the college invariably is carried right into this environment, and loses no time before he, too, is a follower and an important cog in the mighty student impetus that backs up all activities at St. Mary’s. I could enumerate many things that impressed me during my coaching days but one—outside of their profound attention to religious duties—stands foremost: the fact that all the athletes from the time of Conradt to the days of Kelley, Lane and Boland, were just St. Mary’s boys, never displaying the so-called College Swell-Head, a fault often found elsewhere. DIAL ANAIUAL One Hundred Forty-Two ATHLETICS C3 = My coaching days at St. Mary’s, though not characterized by any brilliant successes, nor by any championships in football or basketball, yet were successful from my point of view, owing to the wonderful support at all times given to the Varsity teams by the student body and the faculty. Here, too, the people of the City at St. Mary’s responded most faithfully in backing up all college athletic activities, by giving their support financially and morally. And finally, Mr. W. E. Miller, lamented editor of the St. Mary’s Star, an ardent fan and rooter for all St. Mary’s Varsity teams, gave his time and much space in his newspaper to assist in creating a real, live, city interest in all St. Mary’s College games. This work of Mr. Miller, more than anything else, helped to create a better feeling between the College and the people. ‘ATHLETIC BRIEFS’ (1915-1921) Do the old boys remember------- Rigali’s sixty yard run in the Doane-St. Mary’s game of 1915?

And, Say----------- Do you remember when you were a boy at ---------“Old St. Mary’s”-------- JZ 55 DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Forty-Three Rctrospecting on athletics at St. Mary’s College during the last two years, and analyzing the participation of the students in the various athletic branches and the effects prevalent from their outcome, one striking characteristic stands out head and shoulders above everything else, and that is, clean sportsmanship founded upon a superlative St. Mary’s spirit. This characteristic was made possible by the interest, enthusiasm and loyal co-operation of the players, student body, and faculty. As a result of this threefold union, athletics of this period have made history and proven a gratifying success. For the first time in the annals of St. Mary’s College, Washburn, our ancient and worthy rival, was defeated for two successive years; in 1921, by a score of 14-3, and in 1922. by an overwhelming victory of 31-7. The followers of St. Mary’s will ever picture in their minds the tower of strength playing fullback for St. Mary’s College in 1921, namely, Rain-acciotti. Not only did he gain recognition and honor from St. Mary’s men, but was also selected by the coaches of the State as “the All-Kansas Fullback.” This year St Mary’s claims the distinction of defeating the champions of the Kansas Conference of 1921 by the score of 21-0. Another rival for years, Ottawa University, bowed to St. Mary’s, 12-0. For the first time in history, St. Mary’s opened relationship in football with St. Benedict's College by a victory, 21-0, for the Blue and White. A system of basketball has been founded this year that is bound to reap many victories for St. Mary’s. It was necessary to make alterations, whereby we have two regulation courts, one at each end of the main court, separated from one another by nets. Because of this change, three games can be played upon the gymnasium floor at one time, without hindrance of any kind. The basketball season ended for the year in Kansas City, Mo., when St. Mary’s handed Rockhurst College tlie short end of the 30-15. In 1921 St. Mary’s College won the baseball championship of the Kansas Conference for the seventh consecutive year. Present indications point to another championship, for up to date, five Conference victories have been chalked up to the Blue and White, with no defeats. Kansas State Agricultural College, a member of the Missouri Valley Conference, took defeat at Manhattan, 10-1, and at St. Mary’s. 3-2. Oklahoma University, another member of the Missouri Valley Conference, was played this year. With athletics maintaining such a high standard at St. Mary’s, it becomes the duty of players, student body and alumni to unite in sincere and loyal co-operation to see that this standard is upheld in the greater St. Mary’s that is to come.

This year the Alumni Association has played a more important part in promoting the welfare of St. Mary’s than ever before. The Diamond Jubilee of the foundation of St. Mary’s made it fitting that a campaign for an endowment fund should be inaugurated during this year of Jubilee. The Alumni Association through its sectional branches has made this drive possible. Everywhere the men in charge of the campaign have met with responsive encouragement and good will. The minimum for the drive has been set at $750,000.00. The country has l een divided into sections and each has been given a quota. A chairman for each section was selected. He appointed committees, who work with him and report to him. The sectional chairmen are: Thomas J. Walsh, General Chairman, Diamond Jubilee Endowment Fund, also Chairman Davenport Section. F. X.

During the past year the first movie ever taken at St. Mary’s College was produced. It was called “A Day at St. Mary’s.” Pictures were taken of all the old familiai; faces and places. Brother George was tireless in posing before the camera and in pointing out historic spots. The students were caught in their various activities; scenes were taken of the boys rising, at Mass, at meals, at class, at play in the yard and of the famous Washburn vs. St. Mary’s footliall game. We were exceedingly fortunate to secure pictures of the first St. Mary’s victory over Washburn on the home grounds since 1908. We owe untold thanks to Mr. Ray A. Graham of Detroit for his interest in this picture. It was Mr. Graham who first suggested taking the picture and it was he who made it possible financially. St. Mary’s was fortunate to have for her President this year a former St. Mary’s boy. Rev. Benedict J. Rodman, S. J., is the first Alumnus to hold this high office. His fulfillment of this office has been eminently pleasing to all. DIAL ANNUAL ca'SIsiIigT nr One Hundred Fifty-Seven ALUMNI « IS V r During the last year St. Mary’s has established an enviable record in a spir-tual line. Eight of last year’s students have entered seminaries to prepare for the priesthood. Daniel Carmody, Soph.; Pat O’Connell. Fresh.; Frank Loesch, Fresh.; Floyd Brey, Acad.; Marion Ganey, Acad., and Ed Moynihan, Acad., went to the Jesuit Novitiate at Florissant, Mo. Donald Gregory, Acad., and Nicholas Schneider, Fresh., have entered St. Thomas Seminary at St. Paul, Minn. An effort has been made recently to determine who is the oldest living Alumnus of St. Mary’s. After careful inquiry we find that Mr. William H. True holds this honor. Mr. True, a resident of the town of St. Mary’s, entered the school in 1860. This was before the charter was granted to the College in 1869. Mr. O’Neill is the second oldest alumnus. 1 le entered St. Mary’s in the sixties and was here until 1874. Pictures of these two “old boys” of the College will l e found in this section. On November 9th last occurred a sad accident that took from us one of our most beloved Alumni. Rev. Father McNeive, pastor of the town of St. Mary’s, and Brother Win. Ryan were killed in a railway accident while on their way to Topeka. ■ X X X r MR. WM. TRUE, 1860. MR. ALBERT A. O’NEIL, 1868. Oldest Known Living Alumni.

The narrative fibres of the following sketch are closely woven into the warp and the woof of the state and the work accomplished at the St. Mary’s mission in the pioneer days stands out in bold relief on the completed pattern. Before California was settled, or Kansas City laid out, and seventeen years before Kansas was proclaimed a territory by the bill of Stephen A. Douglas, St. Mary’s was in existence—a thriving mission in the heart of an Indian country whose total population failed to exceed a hundred souls. In the early history of the m.ssion, which developed by slow degrees into the splendid scholastic institution of today, events arc marked by small notches, but they are deep cut and will endure. HEROIC DAYS In 1837, years previous to the passage of the initial prairie-schooner caravan across the l osom of the trackless plains, before the report of the first axe echoed in the virgin forests, a band of Pottawatomie Indians, migrating from Indiana, where they had been baptized by the Revs. Stephen Badin and Deseille, set up their wigwams on the banks of the Osage River, Linn County, Kansas. Their chief, Nesfwawke, learning of the presence of Fathers Christian Hoecken and Felix L. Verreydt among the Kickapoos, sent an invitation by a trapper to the Fathers to visit him and teach his people religion. In January, 1838, in the very heart of winter, Father Hoecken arrived among the Pottawatomies, and found them in dire straits, living in huts and subsisting on scant allowances of government corn. To this first visit of this Jesuit missionary which terminated at the end of two weeks, St. Mary’s owes its existence. In May, 1838. he again visited them, remaining y v One Hundred Seventy-Four HISTORICAL Mr i three weeks. Some weeks after his return to his headquarters at the Kickapoo settlement, word was received from the Reverend Father Provincial that Father Iloecken might establish himself permanently among the Pottawatomies. Soon after his arrival, a church was constructed and temporary huts were built to house the bronze sons of the plains until a suitable site for a settlement had been found. SUGAR CREEK MISSION In March, 1838, the entire band removed to the bank of Sugar Creek and a village was established on the present site of Gentreville. The first work accomplished in the new settlement was the erection of a log church in which services were held during the remainder of Lent. This structure soon proved to be inadequate, however, for a considerable contingent of the tribe, numbering several hundred, arrived at the mission late in 1840 from Indiana. To accommodate this influx a new church was built which was blessed on Christmas day, 1840. As early as the year 1839 a school was erected for the education of the Indian boys, but it was not opened until 1840 and then only for a short time. By July 8, 1841, a school for girls had been erected and opened. Towards the close of this year a school for boys was again built and opened early in 1842. Back through an uninterrupted sequence of years to this tiny mission school can St. Mary’s trace its actual origin—less than 66 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. During the following year, 1843, Rev. F. Verreydt organized some of the Indians into an anti-liquor brigade. “They were instructed to keep watch that no liquor was brought into the village; and if any one had been observed with liquor they were to surround the place, search for liquor, break the bottles and spill the liquor.” Then follows a quaint little remark of Father Hocckcn, from whose diary this excerpt is taken, which is somewhat amusing, as is the entire incident, in the light of after events in Kansas. “This they constantly did, and the custom is kept up to the present day.” (1846.) In May of the same year the arch-confraternity, in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, for the conversion of sinners, was organized; in November a “Society of Jesus and Mary” set on foot, and late in the year a spiritual retreat of eight days was preached to the Indians, according to the method of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. In 1842 the United States government which had taken an active interest in the mission from its very beginning, assigned the sum of $300.00 annually for teachers and school purposes, stipulating, however, that annual school reports be forwarded to Washington. Even at this early date the influence of St. Mary’s had begun to reach out past the narrow confines of the reservation. Within the next 01= 22 DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Seventy-Five few years the Peorias, the Chippewas, the Piarikeshaws and the Ottawas had been converted and baptized; visits were made by the fathers to the white settlements of Deepwater, Westport, and Council Bluffs; and in June, 1846, a sister mission was established in the Osage reservation at St. Paul, Kansas. In addition a number of prayer books, ‘grammars, and dictionaries in the Pottawatomie language had been printed and distributed. Father Gailland made the translation into the language of the Indian. MIGRATION While returning from Council Bluffs in May, 1846, Father Hoecken was joined by delegates of the American government who were commissioned to purchase the Indian lands of the Pottawatomies. June 17, 1846, saw the signing of an agreement whereby the Pottawatomies were to relinquish their rights to the Sugar Creek lands in return for a sum of money and a reservation on the Kansas (Kaw) river, 30 miles square, on both sides of the river, immediately west of where Topeka now stands. Early in November Father Verreydt, accompanied by a party of Indians, set out to explore the assigned lands with a view to selecting a suitable and central location for the mission; and not earlier than November 11, 1847, the Fathers and Religious repaired to the new location. They did not remain here long, for on June 20. 1848, a site on the north side of the Kaw was definitely settled upon and on September 7th Fr. Verreydt, accompanied by the Religious of the Sacred Heart, crossed over to the new building prepared by Fr. Hoecken and the Indians and there permanently established themselves on the ground where St. Mary’s of today stands. In the transfer and the sale of the Indian lands, no provision had been made by the government for the Fathers and the Religious. The Indians, however, voluntarily contributed $1,700.00 and this sum was considerably augmented by donations and other means. Save during the period of transmigration, the work of education was carried on. We find that in the winter of 1848 five new boarders were received at the mission. The happy news was received November 11, 1848, that arrangements for the erection of a school at the mission had been effected between St. Louis University and the Federal government. Thus ample assurance was given that the work of instruction was to be perpetuated and that St. Mary’s ground was ever to remain sacred to the cause of education. In November, 1849, the first church at St. Mary’s was completed and placed under the patronage of the Immaculate Conception. Rev. Felix L. Verreydt, S. J. 5 DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Seventy-Six HISTORICAL BISHOP MIEGE On the 24th of May, 1851, Rt. Rev. J. B. Miege, S. J., having been raised March 25, 1851, to the dignity of Bishop of Messenia and Vicar Apostolic over the country inhabited by the red man, lying between the Rockies and what might l e called the western boundary of civilization, arrived in St. Mary’s to make the humble mission church his Pro-cathedral. About this time the towns along the Kaw began to spring into being. Father Gailland, writing of this particular period, says: “This region took on a new aspect. Before this it had seemed a vast desert. Now villages and towns are rising on all sides and the country is being filled with a multitude of people. The population of the city of Leavenworth, which on account of its favorable situation surpasses all others, has within the space of two years increased by 2.000. The more important towns that have lately sprung into being are Doniphan, Lawrence, Topeka, Manhattan, and Osawatomie. On the 9th of August, 1855, Bishop Miege left St. Mary’s to establish the seat of his bishopric in Leavenworth, that flourishing town being more in keeping with the dignity of his office and affording him more ample opportunity for carrying on liis work. Rt. Rev. J. B. Miege, S. J. The little Indian shrine which graces the eastern slope of observatory hill and looks out over the athletic fields was erected during these early mission days. An earnest desire to foster the spirit of Christian piety and to enkindle devotion to the Blessed -Mother of God were the motives which prompted Father Diels, S. J., to erect this modest shrine of the Blessed Virgin. THE CHARTER Again the endless sequence of years mechanically pursue their silent course. Throughout thirty-two years of persevering endeavor, unremitting toil and zealous exertion the mission had continued in its fierce struggle with the vicissitudes of fortune and the unsettled conditions, adapting itself to the needs of the shifting and everchanging character and habits of the race to which it ministered. From 1851 when Kansas was made a territory, and left to decide the slavery question for itself, until the close of the Civil War, the entire community had witnessed the chaotic conditions that accompanied the long and bloody conflict. By 1865, however, peace had finally been established and the constant influx of whites liad metamorphosed the quiet plains, and a thriving town had grown up within the very shadow of the college. It was decided upon, therefore, by the provincial, Rev. Father Cossemans, S. J., that a boarding school should lie founded at St. Mary’s. On May 12, 1869, Rev. Maurice Gailland, S. J. 5 DIAL ANYMUAL One Hundred Seventy-Seven HISTORICAL g a X ' ' : ■ : X K X X X Rev. Joseph Keller, S. J., arrived at the mission, bringing the first news of the intended ramification. Accordingly plans for a college building were drawn up, a seal, hearing the legend “virtuti et Scientiae” encompassing an image of the rising sun, was designed and engraved and an application for a charter made. On Decemlier 24, 1869, St. Mary’s was empowered under the laws of Kansas to confer degrees and other academic honors. St. Mary’s, though the first school to rear its walls above the level of the plains, was the eighth to receive a charter in Kansas. PRO-CATHEDRAL OF BISHOP MIEGE The college took as its name the title given the humble Pro-cathedral of Bishop Miege, S. J., St. Mary’s of the Immaculate Conception. Much of the work of instruction in these early days was carried on by Brothers. John Murphy, S. J.; Martin Corcoran, S. J.; John Kilcullin, S. J.; and George Bender, S. J., were efficient teachers. What St. Mary’s boy does not know “Brother George”? He has remained associated with the college through all the intervening years and the mention of his name recalls fond memories to the students of the past as well as the present. Age and years, which have left their heavy impress upon his once agile frame, have failed to cool the ardor of his devotion or dim his recollections of the school where he has labored so long and so well. SODALITY AND PHILHARMONIC SOCIETIES On the feast of the Immaculate Conception (Dec. 8, 1869), Father Patrick J. Ward, S. J., the president of the newly chartered institution, organized among the students the Sodality of the Blessed Virgin. This organization is affiliated with the Roman Prima Primaria under the invocation of the Blessed Virgin and the patronage of St. John Berchmans. Father Ward acted as its director during its first year. An inspection of the minute hooks show that meetings were sometimes held in the college parlor and sometimes in the various class rooms. Since the erection of the first chapel in 1884 the meetings have been held in the chapel. DIAL ANNUAL v ■ V v - [j A K a « X One Hundred Seventy-Eight : - r V ' • FIRST BUILDINGS The foundations of what is now known as the Old College were laid on the 31st of May, 1870. There was to be a stone basement and a superstructure of brick four stories high aiid 80 feet long. This building was to be one-fifth of the entire plan and was to form the central part. The building was opened Jan. 26, 1871. At this early date there were 150 boarders, 20 day scholars, 4 Fathers, 1 scholastic and 17 lay brothers at the institution, and the campus embraced 1,334 acres of land. The Indians by this time were slowly vanishing before the oncoming white population and though the Fathers wished to follow and continue their missionary work among them, the Father Provincial kept them occupied with college activities. During the school year of 1870 the Philharmonic society came into being, its object being to add solemnity to the religious, national, and literary festivals and to give its members an opportunity of improving themselves in the practice of music. Today this society comprises the Choir, the Glee Club, the Orchestra and the Band. V •J y PHILALETHIC AND ACOLYTHICAL SOCIETIES Two years later, January 1, 1872, the Philalethic society was organized. At a meeting of thirty of the students of that date a constitution and by-laws was formulated and adopted. The society in its early days differed somewhat from the present Philalethic. It was not only somewhat exclusive but its proceedings were secret. At the outset its object was “to furnish good reading matter and innocent amusement to its members, to train them for transacting any kind of business, and to foster a taste for literature and eloquence.” It was in December, 1876, that the Philalethic as now constituted came into l eing. The Reading Room Association then became a separate organization and exercised the function of “fostering a taste for literature,” while the Philalethic confined itself from thenceforth, “To accustom its members by means of literary discussion to speak with fluency and ease and to afford them an opportunity of acquiring information on useful subjects.” The initial debate was held Dec. 17, 1872. Jzi DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Seventy-Nine ' Sept. 21, 1877, marked the birth of the Acolythical society. Rev. J. R. Ross-winkel, S. T., was its organizer and first president. Its principal object, then as now. was “to add beauty and solemnity to Divine worship, by an accurate observance of the liturgic rites and ceremonies, and also to afford the students, distinguished for excellent deportment, the honor of serving in the Sanctuary.” THE PERIOD OF CONFLAGRATION On two separate occasions, in 1872-73 and 1873-74, the college suffered by fire and the buildings erected in the early Indian days were burned to the ground. “On the third day of February, 1879, just at the end of the mid-day meal, about half-past twelve o’clock, the cry of Tire!’ was heard. All rushed torward to put out tnc flames. The part of the building just under the roof was found to be filled with black, dense smoke to such an extent that it was impossible either to breathe or to sec, and which made it impossible to get near the fire.” Thus does the annualist of the early days announce the conflagration that destroyed the new college and threatened the extinction of St. Mary’s. At this critical juncture the Ladies of the Sacred Heart came to the aid of the college and three days later classes were resumed. As has been recounted previously, these religious located near the college at its very inception, and had exerted themselves in behalf of the Indian girls. They had erected a brick structure a little larger than that built by the Jesuit fathers about the same time that the old college was built. The very afternoon of the catastrophe the good sisters transferred their belongings and their students to one portion of the building and placed the rest at the disposal of the Fathers and their pupils. During the three ensuing days the nuns transferred their academy to a building in town, giving over the entire convent to the Jesuits. In July of this year the building was purchased from the Religious of the Sacred Heart, who transferred to other houses of the Order. Even though a wing has since been added to the structure, the present faculty building still bears the impress of its original purpose and the atmosphere of a convent still clings to it. ERA OF EXPANSION AND BUILDING With the gradual dwindling of the Indian before the swelling tide of white immigration, and the consequent steadily increasing growth of Kansas -and the entire middle west, the work at St. Mary’s began to be concentrated more and more with each succeeding generation upon the education of youth; and the intermediate years between 1880 and the present furnish us with a narrative of substantial enlargement mid steady development on the part of the college. This period of expansion was inaugurated under propitious auspices, for on the 19th of March, 1880, the statue of the Immaculate Conception which stood over the front entrance of the “LONE TREE” present faculty building was erected by the Sodality in honor of their patroness and protectress. From this coin of vantage this typification of the Blessed Mother greeted the students of each successive year and bade them God’s speed as they quit the college grounds. 2 DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Eighty HISTORICAL Rev. Jas. J. Conway, S. J. First White Student to Matriculate at St. Mary’s On the 29th of December, 1880, what was then known as the new church was gutted by fire. It was situated directly across the tracks from the present Junior building and was scarcely five years old. The corner stone was laid August 2, 1875, and it had been dedicated February 14, 1876. Thus in three short hours the work of five years was undone. It might be well to note that this was not the old Indian building which had served as the humble Pro-cathedral of Bishop Miege, but a stone structure built by Father Kuppens, S. J. During the same year a native stone structure 80x60 ft., known as the Van der Eerden building, was erected. This building has since been razed, giving way to the present refectory building during Father Cogley's incumbency. It contained class rooms, refectory, a dormitory and the college chapel. DEGREES CONFERRED ON FIRST GRADUATING CLASS The following year, 1881-82, was a year of marked progress at St. Mary’s. On July 21st the corner stone of the present parish church in town was laid and services were first held in the basement Dec. 25. The structure was dedicated April 2, 1882. A house for the Sisters of Charity, who were teaching in the parochial school, was purchased. 'Phe crowning achievement of the college that year was, however. the conferring of degrees upon Horace II. Hagan. John B. Cunningham and Richard Dunne. These men composed the first graduating class of the college. This year commercial certificates were conferred on James E. Coffey, Thomas J. Ryan, Augustus Villars and Nicholas Ncusius. The year of 1882-83 found 252 boarders at the college. On Sept. 7 the Junior Sodality began its separate existence and its memljers procured a beautiful statue of their patron, St. Aloysius. Fr. P. J. Wagner, S. J., and Mr. Michaels, S. J., both in turn assumed charge for a few months, ill health forcing both to resign. It was finally placed in charge of Mr: Francis J. Finn, S. J., later famous for his stories of St. Maurcs (St. Mary’s). During this year the present class room building was under way and was completed by December. 1883. It was built of native stone 75x47y£ ft. and rose to an altitude of 50 ft. The total outlay was $16,000.00, a steam heating plant costing $6,000.00 was also installed. In February of the following year the structure between the Faculty and the Van der Eerden building was begun and in September of the same year (1884) it was completed. It was known as “The Flats” and housed on its upper and second floors the philosophers' rooms and below them the kitchen and scullery. Originally the upper floor contained the small boys’ dormitory.

PHILALETIC SOCIETY, 1884-1885 This purse is open to the competition of the students of the Jesuit colleges of the Missouri Province. In 1892 a similar competition in Latin was established by the Very Rev. Father Provincial of the Province. In 1900 Mr. Simon J. Harbaugh, an alumnus of the college, established the annual prize known as the Washington medal for the l est constructed and delivered debate speech on some subject connected with American citizen- _____________' !_________ ship. This medal now ranks with the oratorical medal. During the year 1884-85 various constructive improvements were made; sidewalks were laid near the buildings, the reservoir on the hill was constructed and pipes were laid to conduct the water to the buildings, two windmills were erected to supply the reservoir. On June 24, 1885, degrees were conferred on the second group of classical graduates, John J. Conroy and R. F. Gilkcrson. A field containing a stone quarry was purchased, an outdoor gymnasium constructed, a steam laundry and an ice house were added to the equipment. The old log church, the survival of the Indian days, and the early Pro-cathedral was razed during this year and a huge quartzeite boulder, of glacial origin, was rolled in place to mark the spot where it once stood. In 1886-8 the three-scory building which today contains the senior reading rooms, the chemistry laboratories, and the commercial class rooms was erected and a part of the basement of the old cottage 40x60 ft. was converted into a natatorium. The following year a single story structure was erected, which served as the senior gymnasium until 1910, a movable stage could l e fitted up in it, and for some time plays, entertainments, and even the closing exercises took place under its roof.

Late in this same year the Dial, a student publication which has since made an enviable record in college journalism, was got under way. The initial issue did not appear until February, 1890. It was published monthly until 1919 when it became a quarterly publication. The Hour Glass, a bi-monthly newspaper, was added to the list of college publications this year, in 1919, and confined itself to the chronicling of college activities, while the Dial became a distinct literary periodical. On Aug. 28, 1889. the infirmary was begun and on March 28, 1890. completed at a cost of $15,000.00. It is 81x44 ft., contains two stories and is 39 feet in height. During the same year the grandstand on the campus was erected and arc lights were installed on the college quadrangle. In 1891 similar electric lights were installed in the Senior and Junior study halls and a private telephone connecting the college with the railroad station was put in, a $600.00 steam pump was purchased and a pumping plant erected.

With the completion of this building the fourth floor of which contained an auditorium, dramatics took on new life. Plays written by the professors or adapted by them came into vogue and great interest was shown in the entertainments. This same year ample protection against fire was provided for by the installing of three-inch pipes running to every floor. A hose is attached to each and a constant supply of water at a heavy pressure is kept in reserve for these pipes which were installed in every building. The row of buildings at present housing the barber shop, the shoe store, the book store, the candy store and the biology laboratory were built in 1892 and 1893. The circular building originally contained the Junior reading room and library and the Senior billiard room. The hand ball alleys were added in 1893-94. By Nov. 10, 1893, the work of excavating for the lake which once lay north of the college was well under way and was finished early the next year. During these few years much was done towards the beautifying of St. Mary’s, walks and drives were laid out. special attention was given to the flower beds and shrubbery and the dilapidated houses of the workmen were torn down. EARLY ATHLETICS As early as 1871 baseball was in vogue at St. Mary’s. In May of that year Mr. J. B. P. Demands, who had come from the East, where the national pastime was fast gaining popularity, gave the boys a book of rules and the first diamond was laid out on a level plot of ground just cast of the orchard. Early in the eighties the present field was prepared. It was not leveled, however, until the spring of 1891. The games in these early days were restricted to intermural contests between the students organized into leagues, with Brother George as official umpire. The teams bore the names of the cities from which the major portion of the lineup came. An occasional game with the town team was played and though one game is recorded with a team composed for the most part of “old boys” from Kansas City, Sept. 20, 1890, it was not until the spring of 1894 that the policy of contests with outside college teams was begun. The initial encounter of this year was with the Kansas State Agricultural College nine. It ended in a 21 to 1 victory for St. Mary’s. Since that date St. Mary’s has made an enviable record on the diamond. A schedule of the achievements of the teams of each successive year will be found chronicled in the latter portion of this sketch.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION In response to an invitation of the faculty the alumni convened at the college on the 17th and 18th of June, 1896, and organized the St. Mary’s College Alumni Association. After the constitution had been formulated and adopted it was unanimously decided upon that a gold medal, to be known as the Alumni medal, should be offered annually for the English essay of special merit written by a member of the college department on a subject assigned by the faculty. This medal has since that day done much towards the development of the literary ability of the college students. The object of the association is to foster sentiments of regard, respect and veneration for the college and to unite the old students in closer bonds of friendship and esteem. The following officers were elected: Mr. John R. Scott, St. Louis, president; Mr. John T. Dixon, Junction City, Kan., vice-president; Mr. Francis E. Carroll, Leavenworth, Kan., recording secretary; Mr. John Conlan, Holy Cross, Kan., treasurer. m'cabe building Work was begun on the north wing of the present Senior division on July 4, 1898. The building known as the McCabe building, in honor of Father McCabe, was begun on that date and completed Dec. 28, 1898. The eastern portion of the lower floor was the old gymnasium and it now serves as the Senior billiard room. This portion, as has been recorded before, was built in 1877-88. The western part of the lower floor is given over to the Senior lavatory. The second floor is devoted entirely to a spacious study hall containing upwards of 200 desks. The third floor contains one of the Senior dormitories. The building is 85x57 ft. In October of the same year a power plant was built and equipped. In 1899 the “Nat” was enlarged to a little more than twice its original size and the observatory was built. In 1900 for the first time in the history of the institution the students were permitted to spend their Christmas holidays at home. During the course of the year 1902-3 two branches of the alumni were established. one at St. Louis, the other at Chicago. During the scholastic year mentioned aljove the college suffered a considerable financial setback from the ravages of a flood. The total reverses amounted to $8,200.00. THE IMMACULATA An idea had long been prevalent among the students that some day a chapel in honor of the Patroness of the college might be erected bv the joint contributions of the students. The Rev. Director of the Senior Sodality. Father C. J. Shyne, S. J., brought matters to a head when he called a mass meeting of the sodalists on Dec. 8. 1906, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, and broached this plan to them: That the students should endeavor to obtain this money from the Alumni 22 DIAL ANNUAL xr One Hundred Eighty-Eight S2S HISTORICAL FACULTY 1883-1884 and their friends by finding three hundred subscribers of one hundred dollars or more. Accordingly the movement was got under way and on Dec. 9, 1907, the corner stone of the Immaculata was blessed. LOYOLA HALL The ever increasing demands for expansion became so insistent by 1907 that it was finally decided by Rev. Aloysius A. Breen, S. J., Rector at that time, that a new building must be added to the college. A site was chosen on observatory hill, a hundred yards east of the Immaculata, for a dormitory building four stories high to contain one hundred rooms for the students of the higher classes. The cornerstone of ‘‘Loyola Hall” was laid May 1, 1907, and the edifice was completed and ready by October 7 of the same year. It contains, in addition to the private rooms, a bathroom and a recreation room on each floor, a billiard hall and a trunk room in the basement. The annex to Loyola hall erected three years later contains sixty additional rooms. Situated as it is on the crest of the hill, an abundance of light is insured its occupants and they are afforded in addition a commanding view of the broad prairies of the pleasant Kaw valley. An addition was built to the Senior refectory and the power plant was enlarged. By November, 1908, the Immaculata was completed and on May 23, 1909, the impressive ceremonies of dedication took place. The event took place during the triennial meeting of the Alumni. This building, a notable example of the Gothic architecture, stands at the foot of the hill between the Hall and the Junior building. The adornments of the interior include: a beautiful marble altar, the gift of the Corrigan family; an artistic set of sculptured stations of the cross given by the Walsh family, and a number of beautiful stained glass windows, which were given by the Sodalities, the Alumni Association and various former students. The Grotto was built in the same year. Still another event occurred during 1909 which is worthy of note. The First Laymen’s Retreat was held in July. This began on the 24th and was attended by thirty-four Catholic laymen. This work has continued each year since then and the attendance has gained by leaps and bounds. LEAGUE OF THE SACRED HEART, 1884 Father Nogues, Chaplain hh 37 DIAL ANAIUAL One Hundred Eighty-Nine I V ; HISTORICAL ?bOc bUc±:y THE GYMNASIUM The need of a gymnasium adequate for the needs of the students had long been felt at the college. The faculty had long realized this need, and accordingly in the fall of 1909 work was commenced on the new building and it was completed before the commencement of 1910. The site chosen is at the northern extremity of the college quadrangle, convenient to both divisions. The opening of the school year of 1910-11 found the Gym ready for use. It is a large rectangular building of simple design built of native limestone. It has a clear floor space of 150x75 ft. and is equipped with all the facilities necessary to indoor sports. It serves not only as a gymilasium, but also contains a large stage and is used as’the college auditorium, replacing the former college hall in the Junior building, which was converted into a dormitory. In 1909 and again in 1911 the heavily taxed facilities of the power plant were augmented by the enlarging of the entire heating and lighting system at a total cost of $25,000.00. On Monday, Nov. 13, 1911, Rt. Rev. Bishop Ward, D.D., of Leavenworth, assisted by the faculty and students, dedicated the completed structure of Loyola Hall. A cold storage plant was completed in April of 1913. The addition of this plant makes St. Mary’s one of the most complete boarding schools in the country in the matter of equipment, possessing as it docs its own electric plant, power plant, water system, steam laundry, canning factory, complete slaughter house, an extensive farm, truck-gardens, and green houses, a sanitary creamery, and ice plant. It might l)e well to note here that St. Mary’s is in possession of one of the finest herds of pure bred Holsteins in the state; and the cow barns, two imposing structures of .considerable dimensions, are models of their kind. The latest of these two, buddings was-erected in May, 1912, at a cost of $15,000.00.

Yet the growth of St. Mary’s during these ten fruitful years has been steady and progressive. The west wing of the faculty building was begun early in the spring of ’17 and completed before the opening of the fall term. During the war St. Mary’s rallied to the call of the nation. The faculty placed the institution at the disposal of the government and for a time the S. A. T. C. Student Army Training Corps was established here. But perhaps even greater than this was the response of the Alumni to the needs of the country. Over seven hundred “old boys’’ joined the colors and of this number no less than nineteen paid the supreme sacrifice. One of these, Lieut. William T. Fitzsimons, was the first American officer to die for the cause in France. The memorial arch, the gift of the Alumni, is now being erected and will be dedicated in June. In the course of the school year of 1917-18 the students raised funds to erect a new Shrine. During the 17th, 18th and 19th of June, 1919, the College celebrated the Golden Anniversary of its birth as a chartered institution. A host of enthusiastic Alumni and admirers attended the three days’ celebration, which coincided with the Alumni meet. LIEUT. W. T. FITZSIMONS DIAL ANNUAL One Hundred Ninety-Three NEW REFECTORY BUILDING In the spring of the following year (1920) the old Coppens and Van der Erden buildings were torn down and work on the new Refectory building was at once under way. The structure was completed in time for the fall term of 1920. It is a three-story edifice of irregular native stone, with a frontage of 107 feet, and a depth of 130 feet. It is of Gothic archiecture to harmonize with the Immaculata and the Gymnasium. The entire main floor is occupied by the kitchen and an immense dining hall which accommodates six hundred at a single sitting. The hall is oblong in shape, 105 feet long, and has a maximum depth of 90 feet. The second floor contains six faculty rooms facing the quadrangle, a waiters’ dormitory and a large dining hall originally intended for the Junior division, but at the present used for other purposes. The entire third floor is taken up by a spacious dormitory, a physics laboratory, mechanical drawing rooms and a wireless station. NEW DINING HALL DIAL ANNUAL HISTORICAL Onr Hundred Ninety-Four REV.

The following excerpt taken from their report to the Senate of K. U. speaks for itself: “in the judgment of the commit- tee, the class room facilities, the library and the laboratory equipment are equal if not superior to those of most colleges of Kansas that are fully accredited. The permanency, training and scholarship of the faculty arc far above the average and the instruction given is thorough and the methods used, so far as they were observed, are modern and effective.” Today St. Mary’s is fully accredited to Kansas University.

ADOLPH J. KUHLMAN, S. J. LAYMEN'S RETREATS On the twenty-second of May, 1909, the Rev. Adolph J. Kuhlnian S. j ad-ssed the Alumni gathered at the College for their Triennial meeting on the prospects of conducting annual retreats for laymen at St. Mary’s, j„ j jy Qf tjie same year his plans were realized and he preached the first retreat to a body of thirty-four Catholic laymen who had laid aside their various duties and had gathered at the College for three days of prayer, meditation and instruction. Each year since this date a series of three or four retreats have been conducted at the College either by Father Kuhlman personally or under his direction. During this time three thousand two hundred and eleven Catholic and non-Catholic laymen representing one hundred and seventy towns in fourteen states have availed themselves of this opportunity of balancing their accounts in the light of eternity. Though missions have been in vogue in this country for years, the movement for closed retreats for laymen does not date back many years previous to the initial retreat preached at St. Mary’s. A year or two previous to their introduction to Western Catholics the Rev. Terence Shealy, S. J., conducted similar retreats in the Eastern Province of the Jesuits. To Father Kuhlman, however, is due the credit of sponsoring and fostering this movement in the Middle West, and the first retreat preached at St. Mary’s marked the birth of the movement, which has since spread over the entire West. In Kansas especially its progress has been steady and prolific in fruitful results. For the past five years Father Kuhlman, working in conjunction with the Capuchin Fathers, has preached annual retreats at Hays, Kansas, and last year the Redemptorist Fathers introduced the idea at Wichita, where a closed retreat was held at the orphanage. During the summer of 1920 the Benedictine Fathers inaugurated a series of retreats for laymen at St. Benedict’s College, Atchison, Kansas. The two institutions coordinate their work in order to effect a continuous series of retreats extending over the summer months. The object of a closed retreat is to afford the retreatant ample opportunity to appraise the exact status of his soul. To accomplish this he secludes himself from the world, lives at the College, thus cutting himself off from his everyday pursuits and occupation and devotes his entire time during the three days of retreat to prayer, reflection and instruction. The methods of conducting the retreats are those formulated in the famous Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Order. The sylvan seclusion of St. Mary’s is peculiarly adapted to this work and the conditions under which the retreat is made are ideal. Here under the shade of trees over half a century old the retreatants find it delightfully cool even on the warmest days. The spacious rooms of Loyola Hall, the magnificent Immaculata, and the splendid facilities of the boarding school, combine to make the three days spent at the College enjoyable as well as profitable. 2 DIAL. ANNUAL Two Hundred Five LAYMEN’S RETREATS—Continued. The retreats are open to all who wish to attend and a cordial invitation is extended to all Catholics and non-Catholics alike whether they be Alumni of the College or not. No fee is charged and no payments are asked. In answer to the many inquiries received under this head it might be well to mention here that each Rc-treatant offers what he wishes, and even those who are unable to make any offering are welcome. No other fund other than the free and voluntary offerings of the retreatants is available to defray the expense or to develop the work of the retreats. The retreats are not conducted with any view to profit and as a matter of fact the income has just about balanced the expense. One of the interesting and profitable features of the Retreat is the large and diversified collection of pamphlets—literally thousands in number—which are spread out for the inspection and use of Retreatants. Almost every subject bearing upon religious matters is treated under some one definite aspect. During the time of silence these booklets are eagerly read. The dates decided upon for this year’s retreats are: June 30, July 1, 2; July 15, 16, 17; July 28, 29. 30; August 11, 12, 13. Four retreats will be preached at St. Benedict’s during the time intervening between the dates of the St. Mary’s retreats. Those desiring to make a retreat at St. Mary’s should write the Rev. Father Rector signifying which retreat he will attend. FIRST LAYMEN’S RETREAT AT ST. MARY’S July 24th, 25th, 26th, 1909 Top Row—J. Noonan, J. A. Stahl, P. H. McHalc, V. DeDondcr, J. Shync, J. R.

A buzz saw ripping through a twisted log, A boiler factory working overtime, A siren madly shrieking in the fog, A poem with a poor beginner’s rhyme. That’s jazz. A dog fight underneath the kitchen floor, A drove of porkers squealing for their feed, The music of a cracking, swinging door, A racing motor being tuned for speed, That’s jazz. A riveter at work above the street, An engine toiling with a heavy train. The rustle, scrape and tramp of restless feet, The mad, crazed fancies of a dummy brain, That’s jazz. —Ex.
