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.

Capt. 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
