LITERARY ! 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 ANAUAL One Hundred Seventeen

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. These have been copyrighted. The Staff also wishes to take this opportunity to thank all those who have assisted in the production of the Dial Annual, particularlv our advertisers, whose support deserves recognition on the part of the readers of this year book.
