But though we have anticipated it. sometimes longed for it. the actual going is hard. Leaving behind us the best friends we have, or ever expect to have, departing from scenes which recall memories of a thousand happy events of the years that are past, is not easy. Our parting is rendered harder because we instinctively realize that we will never return to St. Mary’s as a participant but must ever be. from that day in June when the sheepskin assiduously sought is safely tucked under our arm, interested onlookers in the drama of education. Never again will we have actual parts in acts and scenes as they unfold. Rendering easier the thought of parting is the realization that we are about to step out into the world, there to attempt an application of those principles inculcated in us by countless hours spent in the class room. We realize that our future success in life, as the world judges success, will depend largely upon the facility with which we apply those principles. And we are confident and anxious, in the strength of our youth and inexperience, to gird on the armor and to give battle. Instead of a lady’s favor for reward, the end most sought after by the knights of old, we will rest content in the knowledge that our endeavors and successes will be ever a subject of thought, conjecture, and we hope in some cases of exultation, to those we leave behind. And now it is fitting that we acknowledge our debts. To our teachers, through high school and four years of college, we owe a debt we despair of ever repaying. To enumerate them would be unjust as their names are legion and some no doubt would have to be omitted. The other members of the faculty we thank for their example, their courtesy, and their never-failing advice. The members of the student body as a whole deserve our gratitude for the patience they have always shown towards us in our shortcomings and for the companionship they have always tendered us. In conclusion we desire to say that we will always cherish the years spent at St. Man’s as among the best of our lives. We will always carry their memory with us as of happy days well spent. Again we thank all those who have rendered our stay more pleasant or more profitable, hoping ever that our future may be spent in as good company, among as good fellows and as fine teachers, as in the years just past.

Both say little and think much. Everyone always wonders what Jake’s secret ambition is. ()ne day someone asked him. 11c answered tersely, “To get married.” His answer staggered the hearers. They couldn't believe it. Howard the misogynist, the lone wolf, the silent, the thoughtful, the dignified, the quiet—saying a think like that! But Jake never lies. So if he is looking for bis dream girl we’re going to help him out. Girls, here arc bis weak points. Possessing more common sense than the average man. which the class as a whole had the good sense to realize, he was elected class president for two successive years. Jake is good at both study and play. In bis studies he leads the class, excelling in Latin. In athletics lie won a place on the Kansas All-State football team for two years. He also knows baseball and knocks a mean two bagger. His strategy at quarterback on the varsity football team won a game or two for St. Mary's and his brainy running of the team won for him the admiration of both the coaches and spectators. But lake finds time for more than studies and play. He has been president of about every student organization on the campus. To enumerate these would bore the reader and make Jake foam at the mouth. He has always been unassuming and he doesn't know what conceit means. This is one reason why Jake has always been the most popular man on the campus. Next year Jakes takes up constitutional law. Best of luck, Jake. We hope that you will be president some day, too. Page Thirty-six LEONARD J.

I ' HEARD it said of “Len” that he left home some four years ago a delightful unspoiled youth to go to St. Mary’s. After his first year in College he returned home a fully developed young man and a perfect gentleman. This is all perfectly true though St. Mary’s cannot claim the credit for making him a gentleman. Not that that gift lies beyond her power, but rather because there was no need to confer it. “Len” is a gentleman by nature, a gentleman of the first rank. In school life “Len” has always been most active both in and outside of the classroom. As a student he stands among the highest. As an essayist and a college journalist he ranks with the best. During his Junior year he served as editor of the I lour Glass and established for our college paper at that time a most enviable reputation. On the tennis courts we find “Len” at home. For three years he has been a member of the tennis squad. During the last two years he has served as captain of the team, in which capacity he has proved his ability as a leader and has always shown a fine quality of sportsmanship. “Len” surely deserves to be called a good sport and a true comrade. At parting it is our sincerest hope that good fortune may attend his every undertaking in life. Page Thirty-seven Sodality.

They were listening first to the old German band and then to messages of farewell to a much beloved departing citizen. The train pulled in and the honored citizen stepped aboard amid the cheers of the populace. The whistle shrieked and the giant locomotive pulled out. As the train got further and further down the track four hundred hearts, mostly those of young women. tis true, were breaking. For wasn’t Frank Bushev, the pride of Wheaton, going away to college? When “Bush” arrived at St. Mary’s it was a different story. There was no band, no cheering people. Only Brother Dooling who slowly inquired about his trunk, lie settled down, lie studied, and studied, and studied. Came his Sophomore year. He went out for basketball and became the star of the team. Students began to wonder. Sport writers began to take note. “Who is this Bushev ?” 1 lis Junior year came. I Ie excelled in basketball, baseball and in his scholastic work. 11 is wit became famous. The school’s most familiar expression was “Did you hear the one ‘Bush’ pulled yesterday?” His Senior year was Bushev’s big year. His worth was recognized. He received the unanimous vote of the Conference coaches as captain of the All-State team. School is out and Bushey returns to Wheaton. Again the band is there, the mayor makes another speech ; five hundred people anxiously await the arrival of the 3:5?. Kxcitemcnt runs high, for Mr. Frank Bushey B.

Nicknames are applied to persons around St. Mary’s as a result of some unusual circumstance in which the nicknamed person was a participant. Not being familiar with the exact facts we will not attempt to explain how Tom received the appellation of “Jeebs.” All of the Iowa boys receive peculiar nicknames anyway, so why worry about it ? Tom has always placed his studies first in preference to all other activities. As a result he has succeeded in obtaining honors almost every assembly day. I le has distinguished himself as a debater in the Philalethic Society. If anyone wishes to get into a red-hot argument, let him take a stand on some subject in opposition to Tom's views and he will receive some very forceful and convincing arguments. Tom has taken an active part in athletics. Me has been one of the main point-makers in the track meets. I le won his letter in football last fall and is as proud of his monogram as any athlete on the campus. The position he leaves open will be difficult to fill next year. Tom’s success in future life is assured. With his pleasing personality and his determination, he should have no difficulty in overcoming the “hard knocks” of life.

KgpiDW'ARI) GROSD1DIER, or “Gross,” the name by which he is more 4 familiarly known to his multitiule of friends, also hails from Kansas, from the town of Eudora. For four years he has been a leader in activities at St. Mary’s and his loss by graduation this year will be keenly felt. In considering the most important features of Ed’s past four years at St. Mary’s, to us the outstanding mark of distinction is the fact that he has completed his college course in three years. From this alone it is possible to deduce his intellectual ability. He lias been on the editorial staffs of the “Hour Glass” and the “Dial.” Twice has he been president of his class. He is a real leader, and his training will make him a leader of men in life after graduation. Kansas grows the best basketball players as well as the best wheat in the world. Anyone who has seen “Gross” “strut his stuff” on the basketball floor will endorse this statement. His expert handling of the ball has outwitted many opponents. It will be a long time before St. Mary’s can boast of as clever a player as “Rig Ed.” He has also been a star on the baseball field. As a first-sacker he has been an old reliable to the team for three years. Ed never discloses his personal desires and ambitions so we hesitate to say what line of work he intends to take up. I Iowever. from our personal contact with him, we know that he has a bright future in store for him. As a coach for instance. From his experience and work here as a coach of the small-yard nicked team, we predict that he would make an excellent trainer of young men. Pag(. Forty LEO M.

On coming to St. Mary’s he had one definite end in view and never a minute did he diverge from that end. Realizing that college is essentially a place for obtaining an education, Leo set out as a Freshman to get that education. Leo is a plugger. We read in stories that pluggers always win and the truth of this statement seems to be demonstrated in “1 lerk’s” case. The first semester of one’s Freshman year is notoriously difficult and no one found it more difficult than Leo. But with the quiet determination that is so characteristic of him he started to work even harder and now, as a Senior, he is undoubtedly one of the scholastic leaders of the- class. All Seniors are familiar with the fact that they arc supposed to be dignified. Most of them let it go at that. However, not so Herken. He possesses a dignity that is not ruffled by any accident or event. It is as natural for him to be dignified as it is for him to work hard. Leo, let it be known, is the first college graduate we have ever seen who looks perfectly at home in his cap and gown. But there is a time for work and there is a time for play. When playtime came “Herk” usually got out the old pitcher’s mitt and tossed a few fast ones. 1 Ie was a member of the varsity pitching staff for three years. 1 Ic also played a good game at guard in basketball. We don’t know what Leo intends to do next year, but whatever it is, we’ll wager he makes good at it. Page Forty-one Sodality. ’25-‘26, Prefect ‘27; Acolythical. ‘25.

CM HAILS from Kansas City, and is, as his name signifies, one of the “Fighting Irish.” However, his Irish spirit lias been utilized in activities k ggS other than sports. As a Freshman Tom was an outstanding participant in all literary endeavors. From that time till the present he has taken a prominent part in all forensic and elocution contests. He is an orator of no little merit. So beware! Take our advice and do not attempt to get the better of him in an argument. He has been a member of the debating team for several years, and has gained honor for himself and for the school in intercollegiate debates. Probably the most noteworthy feature of Tom’s activities is the fact that he finished his college course in three years. Anyone who is capable of doing this is deserving of a great deal of praise and admiration. But the man who does this and gets class honors each semester and is in addition active in literary work not connected with the prescribed course, deserves special commendation. Tom’s career should be a brilliant one. We are not certain what profession lie intends to follow, but. judging from his literary and oratorical ability, so aptly and so frequently displayed while at St. Mary’s, we would predict a very successful future for him as a lawyer or as a figure in politics. ‘tin?

Those of us who know “Jimmy” or “Owl” f Hewis can easily trace the cause of this condition in his own home town, for during those years Jim has been a resident of St. Mary's. Jimmy possesses a very pleasant and jovial personality. He is one of the class leaders. 1 lis favorite subject is philosophy. 11 is conscientious application to study and his jolly spirit of good fellowship have made him one of the most popular members of the class. In dramatic work he has displayed a real talent, both in presentations by the College Dramatic Clubs and in acting as a producer himself. As business manager of the Dial Annual, as a director of the State Catholic Tournament, as manager of the bastball team of this year, and in other managerial capacities he has shown all the characteristics of a successful business man. We are certain that the home town with eager longing anticipates the completion of Jim’s education for then her favorite son will take the business in hand of putting Wichita back on the map. Jim has not disclosed to us his secret ambitions, but we will hazard a guess that his managerial ability will first be given a trial in the motion picture industry. Who knows? Whatever he takes up after graduation, we are confident that he will make a success of it and of life.

J3HE HUMAN MIND has many queer traits, but one of the queerest is ||J that many people can have entirely different ideas of the same thing. Wk (This is daily manifested in the city courts where every witness will give a different account of an automobile accident.) Thus it is with Charlie Marchesseault. Everyone who knows him gets a different impression of him and no one seems to get him right. Charlie is the hoy with curly red hair who hails from Junction City. Polo is his hobby, but being studious is his profession. Charlie makes it a point to see all and know all. 11 is adventures and experiences have been manifold and he tells his best stories well. Charlie is happiest when riding his horse. Many a sunshiny day he may he seen cantering down the road on a spirited steed. His expression while riding is his usual one of quiescent boredom but you can lay a five-to-one bet he isn’t thinking about his horse or the surrounding territory. More than likely he is instead unknotting some difficult problem in philosophy. For Charlie is a philosopher “de luxe.” As a Junior he led the class and as a Senior he is recognized as the student authority on any philosophical twister. His ability to expound is probably due to the experience he gained in teaching school two years before entering college. Marchesseault is the type that does a thing and tells you about it afterwards. So we don’t know what he intends to make of himself. Whatever it is we arc sure it won’t be anything ordinary for Charlie’s most characteristic trait, next to being bored, is being different.

H AT “Fighting Irish gridster known to all of us as “Hans descends from ancestors that made Germany famous. However, this young gentle-man claims Des Moines for his home city and seems to rejoice in the fact that he hails from Iowa. St. Mary’s proudly boasts of “Hans” as one of her most representative sons. For three years she has followed him on the gridiron where lie has brought fame t the name of Muelhaupt by his brilliant fighting ability and sportsmanlike conduct. Each of these three years he has added a stripe to his sweater. To these he has added two more for his speed on the cinder track. A further addition to “Hans’” triumphs was his election as leader of the S. M. Club in 21. He was chosen to represent the students at the big alumni meeting held in Chicago at the end of November. He was also selected to represent his Alma Mater in a tour to Rome, in which place he attended the world celebration of the second centenary of the canonization of St. Aloysius Gonzaga. As editor of the Dial Annual of ’27, Ed is credited with editing the best year hook ever published at St. Mary’s. Philosophy is his favorite study, if we are to judge from his success in that subject. St. Mary’s bids this son a fond farewell but in the bidding she implicitly asserts that she is expecting great things from him in the years that will follow.

() HAVE SPENT seven years at St. Mary’s. t have attained scholastic honors during his years at this school, and to have become the possessor of two coveted S. M. letters, one in football and the other as a manager in basketball, is the happy feat of Tim Murphy. Back in 1920, Tim made his initial appearance at St. Mary’s. He came from the Lone Star State. His complete entrance into the spirit of the school gave assurance that St. Mary’s would bestow a high school diploma upon him. and four years later a bachelor degree. Perhaps one word would describe the character of Tim, “stick-to-it-iveness.” His determination to gain the end at which he aims has been displayed throughout his career. His scholastic honors came as a reward of earnest and persevering endeavor. His athletic honors have been his principally because of this same quality. Nothing has been left uncompleted that he has started. Studies, publications. athletics, have all been seriously undertaken. He has always been held in high esteem by his fellow classmen, by his professors, and by the student body and faculty as a whole. At the close of this seven-year period of faithful devotion to duty, lie surely deserves the best wishes from his more recent classmates for success in the years to come.

ME TYPE ()F MAX that Paul Xormile is. and the high esteem in which he is held by the students, was displayed in 1025 when the Varsity football men elected him to the captaincy of the 1926 football team. That he merited this honor has been decisively proven for was it not Paul who led the team of 1926 in victory: and was it not the same Paul who. in the face of defeat, pleaded and implored for just one more ounce of fight from his fellow teammates? Taking his loyal and unselfish spirit and his qualities of leadership into consideration, we promise that the name of Xormile will never be forgotten by the boys of St. Mary’s. Paul has been a leader in athletic circles but his name has also been seen on the Honor Roll for scholastic endeavors. The success of the State High School Tournament was largely due to his efforts as a director. During his presidency the Mission Society enjoyed a most successful year. As circulation manager of the Dial and the Hour Glass he proved to be an ardent worker for these student publications. In short, he engaged in and took a vital interest in every student activity. We wish to extend to Paul best wishes for success in whatever ventures he undertakes. And it is with true appreciation of him that we thank Bloomington for the loyal son she has given the school. We shall remember him always as a true and loyal friend. Poge Forty-seven LEO R. SHAY “Rosie Imlianapolis, Indiana Sodality.

ARD LABOR is its own reward.’’ It seems as though we have heard jj port K that said somewhere. But whether we have or not wc must concede ') U that it is true in the case of “Rosie.” Ever since “Rosie” came to St. Mary’s three years ago he lias worked hard and honestly. 11 is will to work has characterized him every day with the result that this year he merited a place of honor among the best students in the school. “Rosie’s” aspirations to greatness are not confined to the classroom, however. I le has shown his ability l oth in the field of athletics and in the social world. And though his activities in the latter field have been more or less limited to a few visits to the nearby borough, his popularity as a social light has been widely acclaimed there. In all the major sports “Rosie” is both a participant and an authority. If there is any score of any game national or local you wish to know, just ask him about it. Or if you wish to know the outcome of any game or tournament to be played in the future Rathe’’ Shay is the man to call on. lie is called “Rathe” because he sees all, knows all. But to return to what we said in the beginning. “Rosie” is a hard and determined worker. For this reason wc have no fear concerning his future success. In passing we have only one regret and that is that we must lose the close companionship of so true a friend.

They call his native birthplace Brookville and we guess that such a place exists, although the only proof we have of the fact is the word of “Diz” himself. “Diz” was the manager of the football team of 1926 and by the unanimous consent of the players we arrive at the conclusion that Adrian was one of the best that ever accompanied the team on the road. Always solicitous for their wellbeing and comfort the fellows say he was never to be found without a few packages of chewing (gum of course) in his pocket. “Diz” held a position on the Varsity Basketball squad of 1926 and 192 • and did some neat work to aid in placing these two seasons among the most successful we have ever had. Adrian’s abilities in athletics are not his only claim to fame, however. His name is always among the leaders on Assembly day. “Diz” has trained himself well, and judging from his aptitude for public speaking we have in imagination assigned him the position of criminal lawyer in Brookville. We know that the crime wave there will be a negligible entity when “Diz” runs the town. When the sheepskins arc given in June we will miss an old face about the campus, one that, be it remembered, has been in evidence in every student activity for the past eight years. It is with real sorrow that St. Mary’s witnesses the departure of a favorite son. Fa go Forty-nine PAUL G.

From this city he brings qualities that have added materially to the scholastic and social prestige of the class. Paul started his life at St. Mary’s in the small yard and his eight years have rendered him one of the most familiar faces about the campus. As a musician he carried his part well in the College Jrchestra for a number of years. He is always ready, too. to furnish the town crowd with musical entertainment. When classes are mentioned, we have to take our hats off to Paul. 1 Ie was a consistent student, and when it came time for passing out honors, he was always to be found among those who had distinguished themselves. Paul added to his glories as a student by winning the prize for a Spanish essay written for “La Prensa,” the international Spanish newspaper published in Buenos Aires. In a field of able competitors, Paul won a place, thereby bringing honor to himself and to his class. Paul’s athletic endeavors were confined to his days in the small yard for when lie became a college man he donned a pair of glasses and took the books out for a four-year workout, thereby dispelling belief in the common adage that college life is a four-year loaf on Dad’s dough. To choose a profession for Paul is a hard task. We know only that lie intends to equip himself for life with further education after he leaves St. Mary’s.

HE EIGHTY-SEVEN youthful faces that registered as Freshmen in the fall of 1924 entered St. Mary’s College with a determination to show the school and the world that they had a purpose and that they intended to realize that purpose. As Freshmen they did wonders in the class room and on the field. As Sophomores, although their numbers dwindled to forty they continued to carry on their successful struggle. In the autumn of ’26 the class again returned to St. Mary’s hut this time only eighteen members of the “ole gang” were to be found around the favorite haunts. The others had either gone into business or were preparing for a professional career. In reviewing the various activities of the school we find the Juniors playing a prominent part. During the past six months Ted Bauerlein has very skillfully edited the Hour Glass. Again we might point to Captain-elect Poos, Tom Brennan, Eddie Siedl, and Boh Hayes, all able football men. As baseball players the Juniors brag of Seidl, Brennan, and Mroczynski as men of no mean ability. On the intercollegiate debating team we have Dickmann and O’Rourke. On the staffs of the Dial Annual, Hour Glass, and Dial Quarterly, and in the different essay and oratorical contests we find the Junior Class well represented. Page Fifty-otic ;t.

We were fresh no doubt, but it was soon evident that the influence of the Freshmen was to be felt in every endeavor connected with college life. And so it is that with mingled pride and regret we survey the years gone by. and it is with confidence and misgivings—paradoxical terms—that we await the years to come. The pride that we feel comes from a realization that we have upheld every St. Mary’s tradition, and upheld them in a way that is a credit to us as a class and as St. Mary’s men. Not only have we taken our place in the ranks of the students but we have risen from the ranks to make ourselves felt in athletic and scholastic work. A list of the achievements of the past two years would fill too much space. It will suffice to say that there has been no branch of competition too hard for at least one member of the Class of ’2!) to enter. And our success is self-evident. The regret that we feel is that those years have passed forever, and can only exist as fond memories. Hut is it regret ? The satisfaction of two years well spent takes away all the regret and leaves only a pleasing retrospect. Our misgivings are the result of the records made b classes before us. Each year as classes move up they leave additional achievements to emulate. May the Class of ’29 uphold its part with credit in the making of a greater St. Mary’s! ‘age Fifty-jour JOHX .

ITH the opening of the fall term, old St. Mary’s stretched forth her arms an gathered in another brood to foster and care for until the time when, inspired by her standards, and experienced by her teaching, they will go forth to cope successfully with the world. Although not conspicuous in numbers, the sixty Freshmen early came into prominence by the constant success which crowned all their efforts. In the classroom, the Freshmen worked with a will and determination which was gratifying to the faculty. The average marks of the entire class were certainly deserving of praise. A large number of the class received honors regularly throughout the year. On the rosters of the various organizations and societies connected with the life of the school, the names of the Freshmen were conspicuous. The Sodality and the Acolythical society carried a large enrollment of Freshmen as did the Glee Club and the Choir. In the Band and the Orchestra the members of the class were well represented. In athletics, the Class of ’20 covered themselves with glory. Two men earned their letters in football while several others distinguished themselves as reserves. More than half of the basketball squad was composed of Freshmen, and three of the seven letter men were of the Class of ’30. Despite the fact that there was a host of veteran material on hand for picking the diamond squad, the work of the Freshmen aspirants demanded the same recognition here as in other sports.

SX CASTING a retrospective glance over our four years at St. Mary’s |n5||f we look back with fond recollection of the golden hours spent together. The chronicle of the Fourth Year Class is very much like the Washburn-St. Mary’s game of ’ 26. always lively, interesting, filled with accomplishments. and yet with a sprinkling of humorous events. Quite a hit of literary talent was unearthed in the first half of the year, while during the second half several excelled in poetry. The chronicle of the Fourth Year Class is verv much like the Washburn-St. Mary’s game of ’2(5. always lively, interesting, filled with accomplishments, and yet with a sprinkling of humorous events. Quite a hit of literary talent was unearthed in the first half of the year, while during the second half several excelled in poetry. The Junior Literary Society was undoubtedly a success, and the members of the Fourth Year Class most heartily thank Mr. S. A. O’Rourke for his tireless efforts. And now, as we finish this vital chapter in our hook of life and look hack over those four years of joy and sorrow, of true friendships made way hack in the Small Yard, we find that we have developed a deep and abiding attachment for old St. Mary’s.

In a B pjjSfl short time there was a bond of friendship in Third A. that held us to-gether throughout the year and will no doubt continue through life. We have enjoyed the year and gained some profit from it. Under the tutelage of Father Dolan, we are now able t understand Cicero, master the mysteries of Creek, and write a presentable English composition. When we assembled last fall, we exhibited a profound ignorance of that elementary part of class work, oral recitation. Father Dolan has worked hard and long teaching us to speak distinctly, clearly and correctly. As yet we are far from perfect: hut we are certainly not as had as we were in September. English, a study too often neglected, received the greatest attention in Third A. By assiduously attending to the principles of Knglish composition and by writing a two hundred word theme every day. we have attained a fair degree of proficiency. In the hardest test, the semester essay of one thousand words, each member of the class made a presentable showing. In athletics, too. we have acquitted ourselves well. Our two representatives on the High School football team. Cletus I luck and Neil Hayes, merited letters. Practically all of the class participated in the leagues, and all did themselves credit. We take this occasion to thank our esteemed teacher, bather Dolan, and every member of the faculty who has helped us in our efforts. It has been a most pleasant and successful year, and we feel highly indebted to those without whose kindly aid we could have accomplished little. Pag?

Power Obir6 H’fiijb ME smallest class in the school' is the proud boast of Third High B. With but eleven members the class has succeeded in placing a man in almost every High School activity. At the election held early in the year John Noonan was elected to lead the class in the capacity of President. As an able assistant John Titus received the unanimous nomination for the office of ice-president. Although Third High placed but one man on the basketball team he was a mighty good one. Titus was always “there” and outplayed every man he went up against with the possible exception of the giant from Wichita. The same man achieved distinction on the football field. His dashing runs during the last season will long be remembered by High School sport followers. And now a word for our teachers. Mr. Harkins, S. J.. taught the class Latin and Greek during the past year. Whatever we have learned in these branches we owe largely to his whole-souled work. Coach O’Rourke this year took over the teaching of Third High B’s English course. Father Roemer taught our Catechism class. Professor Donoghue was our History teacher. To all of these we wish to express our deepest appreciation for their persevering efforts in our behalf. May we have as fine a teaching staff during the rest of our years in school as have fallen to our lot this past year! Page Eighty-three First Row. Left to Durbin. Coles. Brennan.

U ir6 U’figl) €ngli$b EPTEMBER, nineteen hundred and twenty-six. found a group of boys, some new and some old. forming a class that had lofty ideals, both in studies and in sport. Our roster included some of the most important men on the campus either noted for their academic or for their athletic ability. Everything seemed to g right on the athletic field, but frequently things did not go so well in the classroom. The various subjects were at last conquered, however, and much credit for our success must be given to Father V. R. Roemer, S.J.. in English and Cathechism; Mr. Gibbons, S.J.. in Chemistry: and Mr. Donoghue in History. As each year went by it found us nearer our goal. Each year a number of new hoys have come in and together with the old boys kept up. the high standard with which we started. It has been the class aim to do the best work yet, and we feel that we have accomplished much. Our class is comprised of boys from Chicago to Mexico, and from Texas to Kentucky. All sections are equally represented for something. Chicago receives its fame from Titus, who was the outstanding athlete, being on the football and basketball teams. Scholastic honors go to Rarousse and Krebs of Mexico and Illinois respectively, both of whom have made enviable records in their studies. Frank Eouy is the Kansas representative both for scholastic honors and the High School play. IIis part in the High School play was a very important one, and he deserves credit for his splendid acting. ‘dge Eighty-four First Rote. I.eft to Right: Caul, Casey. Dwyer, Dinkcl, .Nelson. Odom.

They were rendered listless, that state so rare in fellows of our age, by years of grinding work. But soon long- ing for vacation gave way, under the spirited influence and leadership of Mr. L. A. Gunn. S.J., to a will to work and a determination to succeed in studies. Since most of us had forgotten the Latin we had acquired so laboriously in first year, we needs must return for a lew weeks to first year matter to refresh our memories. When we entrained with Caesar for a trip through the Gallic provinces, nr found the famous general as involved in construction as he was strategic in war: pur H)se clauses and indirect questions found place in our growing intelligence. Mr. McCaffcry undertook the great task of teaching ns Geometry, a subject full of triangles and parallel lines. And “through long days of labor and nights devoid of ease” the class whistled sweet tunes to axioms and postulates. English Civics, History and Religion were imparted to us by Mr. Gunn. Although studies demanded most of our time we are proud to acknowledge those students and sportsmen who have distinguished themselves in football, basket-hall and baseball. We wish especially to honor Jimmie Reis, Tom Tainter and Johnnie Boyd, all outstanding athletes in the Small Yard and members of the Second High A. Adrian Dwyer and Eugene Farrell served the class well as i)resident and secretary. Page Eighty-five •' irst Rote. Left to Right: Welch. I'.ushey, Miller. ). Johnson. I . Sullivan. .1. Adler.

Second H’fiijb Cn lisb C IX(] back in retrospect to the first few days of the year, we remember h how we wondered who our teachers would be and how many there would be in our class. It was not long until that was settled. Our teachers were Prof. McGinley. Prof. Cannon and Mr. Latch ford, S.J., to all of whom we owe a great deal for their guidance through a very successful year. Our class is noted for overcoming its difficulties. ( f course we do not claim to be perfect, but we will say that we are a hundred per cent better than we were last September. This class was not alone ambitious in the classroom, but active on the gridiron, basketball floor, or wherever its members found themselves. We can show several “champs” and “all-stars” in the different sports. It would be rather hard to decide on the leading athlete in the class. We have spent a very pleasant year at St. Mary’s and expect to pass two more before we reach the goal for which we have been striving. We could talk a year about our class, but the Dial Annual has been most kind in assigning us this much space; so we will take the opportunity in the few words left to us, to extend our heartfelt thanks to the members of the faculty, the student body, and all others who have helped to make our year at St. Mary’s such a success.

J irst Ifi b -A UK CLASS first assembled in the long-to-be remembered room, one-bundred-and-two of the Rodman Recitation Hall, on the tenth of September. At the opening of the school year we were perfect strangers but as the time passed there appeared a stronger and stronger union among the members of the little group. Marly in the year we chose our class officers. William l ie. better known as “Big Bill.” was elected President and another “Big Warder. John Kastman, who enjoys ecjual popularity in both the Senior and Junior divisions, was made Class Secretary. By their congeniality, industry and scholarship, both boys have proven themselves very worthy of the honor and trust their companions conferred on them. They have communicated their spirit to the other members of the class. It is our sincere wish that that same spirit will characterize our school work in the future and in our life’s work in whatever field of endeavor we choose. Certainly we owe much to our teachers whose one great aim is our success. Therefore we wish to thank Rev. Fr. Rodman, president of St. Mary’s College, our Religious teacher: Mr. Brennan, our teacher in Latin, History, and English; and Prof. Cannon, our Algebra teacher, for the interest they have taken in us during the past semesters. We assure them that our desires and hopes are theirs, that we become scholarly Catholic leaders. 'age Eighty-eight First Row, Left to Right: Dempsey. K. Collin . J. Longsdon. J. Wade. Gallivan.

We go back to the first days in September, when everybody was unpacking, making new acquaintances, and wondering who his teachers would be. By the end of the first week we were able to find tmt everything. We were “onto the ropes.” We found that Prof. McGinley had been assigned to us as our English teacher, while Mr. Fitzgerald. S.J., was to be our Algebra teacher. We think that our class should be ranked first in the accomplishment of work during the past year. When it started in September, it was partially composed of boys from Mexico, who had never spoken a word of English. In spite of such handicaps the entire class has not only become more proficient in the English language, but has been able to keep up with the first year classes in English. Algebra, and kindred subjects. We can boast of several boys in our class who have made above ninety in all their subjects while others have a general average well over eighty-five. Many of them, too, did not speak a word of English when they first enrolled. The whole class thanks Prof. McGinley and Mr. Fitzgerald. S.J.. for their hard work in trying to put us where we are now. Certainly next year we will lead the second year classes as we have led the first. ’nge Ninety a eiwc HE AIM at St. Mary's has always liccn to turn out men representative of the highest type of Christian manhood. In order to do this the religious training and instruction of the students is strongly emphasized. Every opportunity is offered the student in order that lie may come to know, to appreciate and to love his religion as his most precious heritage. On all sides the student is reminded that lie is at school to receive not only a secular education but a thorough religious training as well. Our beautiful Chapel, our shrine and grotto of the Blessed Virgin, our sodalities, and our acolythicnl societies arc monuments and special aids which help us to a more perfect knowledge and love of our Blessed Lord and his Holy Mother. The earnest devotion of St. Mary’s boys is well known wherever St. Mary's boys have traveled. And. it is the thoroughly religious environment that surrounds one at St. Mary's that is responsible for this. In recent years the daily reception of our blessed Lord in Holy Communion has come to be the practice of almost every boy in the school. Every morning after Mass the march of students to the Grotto of our Lady includes a large number of students. And throughout each day the visits to the shrine, the grotto, and the Immaculata are numerous. REV. VM. 0 SH A UGLINESS Y, S..F. During the season of Lent just passed the religious zeal of the students was most edifying. With each change of class, before and after meals, and during other times of the day many students were to Ik- found in the Chapel making special visits or following the Way of the Cross. In retreat, which was conducted by Fathers O’Shaughnessy and Scott, during the last three days of Holy Week, the usual strict silence was observed as each boy gave himself up entirely to the contemplation of his God and of his own future life. In past years the harvest for the priesthood among St. Mary’s students has been great. Each year a number of young men arc found to respond to the call of the Master. We have no reason to believe that this year is an exception and we trust that with the dawning of the year 1028 we will find St. Mary’s well represented among the new workers in the religious life This, the supreme sacrifice, is the RFY JOSEPH I SCOTT finest fruit of the religious training and environment at old S. J. St. Mary’s. Page Xinety-one College 5o6ality First Term OFFICERS Second Term Robert J. Hayes - - Prefect - Thomas 1). Kelley Adrian T. Tate - - First Assistant - - Thomas H. Daly Edw. .1.

Rev. Father C. Kohne, S.J., organized the. College Sodality early in the year and began a series of instructive talks on subjects suggested by the members. )n the eighth of December, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a large number of candidates entered the ranks of those who openly profess their devotion to our Blessed Lady.

College Vcolvtbical Societv AIN' T MARY’S has always had a representative Acolvthical Society. This past year was no exception. As a majority of the students are members of the society, facility in handling assignments requires a division into three separate sections. The College, the High School, and the Junior divisions, assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as well as at other religious ceremonies in an edifying manner. To accomplish this purpose, the members of the society are carefully instructed in the correct method of serving. Each morning various members assist at the Masses and become partakers in the added blessings which accrue from such close participation in the services. Members of this society also assist at the more solemn functions, such as hirst Friday Devotions and important feasts of the year. The servers took a prominent part in the impressive services of Holy Week on Holy Thursday. Good Friday and Holy Saturday. The fidelity with which the boys fulfilled their duties tended greatly to add to the dignity of the sacred liturgy. page Ninety-five First Row: Dcnkcr, Forbes. Leckron. Mr. I.alchfor l, S. J..

Senior U'figb Acol tbical A ITI K )L'T a doubt, tlu highest honor that can be bestowed upon any boy is to permit him to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of tin- Mass. Second to rAfr rj the priest, he derives the most benefit in the way of graces and blessings from that august sacrifice. The chief purpose of tin Acolythical Society is to instruct the students in assisting the priests at all religious ceremonies in a manner in keeping with the dignity of the sacred functions. As a rule the majority of the students who wish to become servers have previously had years of experience in the art of assisting the priest at the altar. Since this was also the case this year the organization president. Mr. Latch ford, S. J., found the way made smooth for teaching the members reverence while serving the priest. The attendance of the Senior High acolytes at all religious exercises has been one hundred per cent. Most likely this is due to the fact that they realize the great privilege that has been granted them of being very near Our Lord. If an Acolyte lias not proved his character, deportment and language to be above reproach he is not admitted into the Senior High Acolythical Society. This rule tends to improve each boy morally and to better the character of the Acolythical body. The number in the organization speaks well for the boys of St. Mary’s. Page Ninety-six First Koto: J.

Pane l. 3unior .Acolvtbical Society TURING tlie past year there has been unusual activity in the Junior j] Acolythical Society, although not as large a number applied for admis-sion as in previous years. Only students whose characters were above reproach and who were thoroughly acquainted with the nature of their duties were admitted. The new boys were given careful instruction concerning the Mass prayers by able teachers. Each morning different members arose early to assist at Mass ir. the student and the faculty chapels. The spirit of sacrifice animating the acolytes in this work of supererogation was most laudable. The members of the Society showed throughout the year an appreciation of the fact that they were fortunate enough to be servers by their devotion and attendance at Mass and the other services. Seeds of piety were sown among the students by the example set by the boys who devoutly served at the Great Sacrifice. During Holy Week, and especially during the three days of the retreat the acolytes of the Junior Division were very active. It in the following years the Junior Acolythical Society continues as in the past year, piety will increase, and this increase will be due in part to the splendid example set by the acolytes of the Junior Division.

Page .Yinety-eight yClusic at St. yClarv’s S THE HIGHER ARTS appeal to the nobler instincts of man. St. Mary’s has taken pride in developing and fostering the musical ability oi her students. The ability of a man to appreciate good music and to enjoy it. is indicative of loftiness of character, the development of which is in keeping with the standards of Catholic education. Of course such a criterion is not infallible, but it serves its purpose. And St. Mary’s, striving ever after the best there is in human nature, has used music to no small advantage. The interest shown in music and musical institutions of the college this year has been all that could be desired. Greater than ever was the number of those who enrolled in the musical organizations. The willingness of the members of these organizations to sacrifice their time for practice showed that they appreciated the powers of music and were willing to do their part in giving the school the best that could be obtained by the combined effort of instructors and pupils. The choir, the glee club, the band, the orchestra, the “Kampus Kats” and the “Little Symphony’’ have all played a part in the musical program of this year and played it well. Whether their part fitted into the scheme of musical entertainment or of religious solemnity, the generosity they displayed in contributing their best efforts for the common good cannot he estimated. St. Mary’s has been most fortunate in having so eminent a teacher of music as Professor Remy Den Haerynck. who for more than a quarter century has guided our young musicians to seek the highest and best. The annual recital conducted by Professor Den Haerynck and his able colleague. Professor Stcigcrwald. has become a very popular event. A very large audience listened with rapt attention to Professor Den Haerynck’s artistic presentation of Polonaise Op. 53 by Chopin. Etude in F Sharp Maj. by Henselt, Tarantelle Op. ( . Invitation to the Dance by Weber, and Venice and Naples by Liszt. Professor Steigerwald received merited applause on the same occasion. January 15, 192i, for his violin selections.

XE EVENING in September the old members of the Hand and the new aspirants assembled for the first meeting. This gathering took the form of a social session. During the course of the evening officers were elected for the coming months. Edward C. McGurren was chosen president, George K. Weldon, vice-president, and F. W illiam Rielsticker. secretary and treasurer. Regular practice accounts for the success achieved by the Band. Twice each week the members assembled for practice. During the course of the year many new marches and overtures were added to the Band’s repertoire. That some of the football team’s success is to be ascribed to the Band that led them to the gridiron in all of the home games, appears from the publicly expressed remarks of the Coaches and the Athletic Board. On Sunday, Xovember 1 1th. the members of the Band journeyed to Kansas City, Missouri, where they had been invited to take part in the Holy Xamc Societv Rally given on that date. The St. Mary’s Band was honored by leading the second division of a parade of twenty-five thousand members of the Holy Xante Society. A token of appreciation was the applause given the Band along the line of march. The band played the usual marches for the procession and then broadcasted several of their best pieces. )ne of the reviewers made the statement that “the St. Mary’s Band was the best trained and the best uniformed band in the parade.” 'Page Out ft and red Left to Right: K.

Ob £ Orchestra A KIA in October the Orchestra assembled for its first practice. The H positions left vacant by members who did not return were soon filled by capable musicians who were eager to learn the rudiments of ensemble work. In a short time the organization functioned smoothly. The strings were counterbalanced by the brass, while the reeds blended harmoniously with the melody. The programs offered by the Orchestra during the past scholastic year have kept the record of this organization equal to that established in previous years. Mr. Hugh E. Harkins, S. J., Moderator, and Professor Arthur Steigerwald are deserving of congratulations for their untiring efforts in the advancement of musical culture at St. Mary’s during the course of the past year. “Poet and Peasant,” by F. von Suppe, “Gibraltar,” by A. Hayes, “Valse Caprice,” by Hayes, “The Anvil Chorus,” by Verdi, besides many other overtures, waltzes, marches, of like character, show the quality of music played by the organization this year. Much to the disappointment of the lovers of classical music, circumstances did not permit the Orchestra to give their Annual Spring Musical Concert. Due to this fact, the ability of the Orchestra soloists could not be shown. Nevertheless the appearances in past years of such talented musicians as (j. Weldon, X. Owen, and W. Pielsticker clearly indicate that the Orchestra was able to furnish solo as well as ensemble numbers. The Orchestra’s work during the past year was in every way a success.

It is an old saying that cats have nine lives and the wish of every St. Mary’s bov is that the Kampus Kats of will go them one better. The “little orchestra” of St. Mary’s has always been one of the proud boasts of the school, but the Kampus Kats this year have risen to great heights in Kansas “Jazz” circles and they justly deserved the honor bestowed on them by Mr. Leslie Edmonds, the well known athletic official and news writer of the Topeka Daily Capital. “The best jazz band in the Kansas Conference” is the way Mr. Edmonds spoke of them in his column. Most generously the Kampus Kats volunteered to play at all the school movies, basketball games, and other entertainments. They are also entitled to credit for the wonderful success of two outstanding social events of the year, the Pre-lenten and Easter dances. The Kampus Kats were always “Red Hot” and “rarin” to go. For the last few years, our orchestras have been the harmony-makers of the school. In December, the Kampus Kats made a trip to Leavenworth, Kansas, where they put on a musical performance at the St. Mary College for girls. The program was very much appreciated. In May they won new laurels when they appeared on the program of W’HB. the Sweeney broadcasting station in Kansas City. Indeed attired in their gay new outfits, and always bubbling over with pep, the Kampus Kats never failed to make a “hit” wherever they went. It is the sincere wish of the entire student body that the Kampus Kats will be back with their merriment again next year. I'age One II mid red Two Tof': Mr. Harkins, S. J.. K. Kennedy, Manning. I.

(Blee (Tlub an6 d oir UK CHRONICLERS tell us that the Choir and (lice Club was founded in 1870. The purpose in organizing them was twofold: to add solemnity to the celebration of religious festivities and to give the students an opportunity to advance in the study of vocal music. All who had a knowledge of the rudiments of music and who possessed the required ability were deemed eligible for membership. The organizations have always aimed at perfection as their ultimate goal and this year has been no exception as a resume of achievements plainly shows. The roster of the choir records the best voices in the school. The members this year were chosen by Mr. H. E. Harkins, S. J., and Prof. Remi Den Haerynck at a tryout early in October. At another meeting in October the election of officers was held with the result that William F. Pielstickcr was made president, Joseph E. Hughes, vice-president, and John Curtin, secretary-treasurer. The outstanding soloist in the Glee Club is William L. Neff, who was president of organization during the school year, 1925-1926. The hymns at Mass each morning and the solemn services at the great feasts of the Church drew forth the best efforts of the Choir. Some of the prominent soloists of the Choir were William L. Neff, Joseph E. Hughes and William F. Pielsticker. Page One Hundred Three JDrama at St. Mtarv’s RAMA, throughout the long march of time, has reflected the ideals, the | P|] morals, the thoughts, and the culture of the human race. There have L a been great builders of empires, courageous explorers have penetrated unknown and dangerous wilds, scientists have spent their lives solving the secrets of nature, profound philosophers have investigated the intricate web of the mind in an effort to unravel the puzzles of Life, intrepid missionaries have brought the Gospel of Christ to remote and savage tribes, poets have sounded the clarion notes of their nation’s courage and patriotism, men of literature have stirred the people by their tales of love and heroism; yet perhaps none of them would today be the living personalities they are without the aid of dramatic characterization. These colossal figures are the daily study of the world’s children and the student is constantly endeavoring to fix an image of these eminent personages in his mind. The majority of the people have only a shadowy idea of the Roman Dictator Caesar, of Richelieu and Louis IX. of the Richards and Hcnrys of England, of Tamburlaine and the Cid. But by the great power of the actor, by the force drama possesses to move people, these are. even after centuries, imaged as clearly in our minds as a sculptured statue of Phidias. It seems that the literature built around an Irving, a Duse, a Garrick, a Mantel has a greater human appeal than that exerted by any other method of presenting “words that live and thoughts that burn. Ever since the Greek masters. Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, drew to the vast theatres people of all degrees and casts to behold their productions, the Thespian art has drawn multitudes to watch the tragic conflict and t be amused by the rollicking comedy. Xo other art plays so successfully on the heart strings of man. as does the drama. A simple inflection of the voice, a mere gesture, a change of the facial expression can speak volumes when deftly employed by an artist. In the Drama of Life there is need, too, of these accomplishments. There are manifold opportunities for the St. Mary’s student to acquire some proficiency in acting. One-act plays are given by the Sophomore and Freshman classes. At least two major productions are presented by the College and High School each year. Page One Hundred Four First Rote: M.

Under the capable direction of Mr. E. A. McGrath. S. J. the players presented two highly entertaining plays. Their first appearance was in the three-act play, “Ready Money.” It was given on the evening of December 1 1 in the Auditorium. Lyle O’Rourke ’28 and Frank Hughes ’28 carried the leading roles. The rest of the cast supported the leads with enthusiasm and ability. The play develops the theme that money begets money. The second performance, given Easter Sunday evening, was a mystery comedy entitled. “How Many More?” The excellent productions of the Sen-Jun players certainly prove that dramatics at St. Mary’s has an important part in student life. The training these young men acquire is of no little value. It requires skill in a debater to lay before his audience convincing arguments in support of his side of the question; it is no small task to compose and deliver a good oration and to make effective use of the resources of oratory ; yet. to stand behind the footlights and make a character your own. to assume a role and strive successfully to make your audience forget the unreality and to accept with pleasure the illusion of the drama, requires no less skill. Xo doubt this form of entertainment will be of some practical worth in the future to the young men engaged. The Easter Sunday Sen-Jun production has always been a source of pleasing entertainment for visiting parents and friends, while the student body, fresh from their annual Retreat, are always delighted with the performance.

Cohan, The action is concerned with a wager to write a ten-thousand-word novel in twenty-four hours. The young novelist’s work-shop is a summer resort in winter, “the lonesomest spot on earth.” atop Haldpate Mountain. One very cold night the novelist goes to Haldpate Inn but is constantly interrupted while endeavoring to produce his novel The story he writes is really a relation of the happenings in which Haldpate has been involved. James Lewis ’2i interpreted the role of Magee in very fine fashion. The men who supported him deserve to be highly commended. Mr. McGrath, S.

HOUGH in former years the members of the High School department usually promoted a play at Easter, it was not until this year that the need glS of a more formal organization was felt. The players were ambitious and the Moderator, Mr. Gibbons, S. J., was desirous of producing a play that would require the earnest attention of the members. In early January. Mr. Gibbons picked twenty students from the Junior and Senior classes. With these he formed the nucleus of the organization. Among those chosen were several veterans of previous plays and public speaking contests but the majority were inexperienced in acting. To cultivate talent was the very purpose of the society, hence lack of experience only prompted the members to greater zeal. If the success of any organization is found in the accomplishment of its purpose, the High School Players society was most successful. Though it exacted of its members long hours of hard toil, a spirit of enthusiasm permeated the gathering that had power to convert work into diversion. The meetings were anticipated as times of enviable enjoyment and not mere formal assemblies. Every member in the future will recall many fond reminiscences of Ted Keefe, Frank McGinley, Kev Adler. Frank Louy, Hill Mueller. Shirley Noonan, Tighe Woods and any of the other fellows who sat in session with them. Mueller, Louy, and Keefe featured in many a one-act tragedy.

All of the cast deserve much credit for their work in this production. It may be said without boasting that this play will be held up as a criterion of what a good high school should be. In the play. Cyrus Martin plans to get his flighty son Rodney into business. Grayson, who is in league with the father, enters a business partnership with Rodney and his friend Ambrose Reale. They are quickly beset by the many pit-falls of the modern business life. The Count de Heaurien. a wolf in sheep’s clothing,’’ nearly trims the three out of house and business. Meanwhile Cyrus Martin visits them at the office, where he sees Ellery Clark, the son of an old soap rival, and decides to buy the business. In the absence of Reale and Rodney, Grayson unfortunately informs Rodney’s father that the firm is bankrupt. Martin is disgusted, but finally shows some of his old regard for youth when Peale intervenes and stops the Count in the act of blackmailing Martin for $1' ),000. Then Grayson makes a deal with the old man, Rodney and Reale appear, and the play is concluded with Cyrus Martin decidedly contented over the outcome. CAST OF CHARACTERS Arthur Grayson William 1 .

It has sought to develop literary talent among the students in writing the essay, the short story, and verse. It has endeavored to encourage the students to express their views on questions of the day in the fields of philosophy, history, sociology, religion, education, literature, in good literary style. In order to write something really worth while, students must devote a great deal of time to a study of their subject and to the presentation of their ideas in a readable composition, before their work is accepted for publication. And thus the Dial is made to serve as a means of securing the finest work from the students. As a second purpose, the Dial seeks to record, in brief at least, the important events of the school year. In addition it includes a section devoted to the interests of the Alumni, the purpose being to maintain a bond of union between the alumni and the school. The reputation and standing of the Dial among publications of similar character published in other schools throughout the country has been long established. With Joseph M. Howard as editor, the same high standard of literary work for which the Dial has been noted has been maintained. A confirmation of this is found in the distinguished rating awarded to the Dial in the National College Press Congress Publication Contest. JOSEPH M HOWARD Editor McKavitt Kelley Dickniann Foote T.

Last year's staff, together with some new recruits, working in harmony with their moderator. Father A. Kuenzel, S. L. have accomplished many things for the welfare of all. Resides various philosophical, historical, and scientific works, not to mention the wealth of fiction books acquired, the library has been fortunate in obtaining some rare portfolios through the generosity of Miss Mary Herzing. Professor Ryan, Mr. Wolf, and other friends of the College. These portfolios contain examples of Eastern calligraphy, rare leaves from Syriac. Armenian, and Russian manuscripts, and specimens of early woodcuts and copper engravings from the fifteenth century. The Fourth High students, through their president. Francis F. Smith, have presented to the library, as a memorial of gratitude to their Alma Mater, some priceless leaves and documents which will he an aid and inspiration in studying the life and thought of bygone ages. I bis accession constitutes a good nucleus for a representative collection of the holographic and printed records of the past. This thoughtful action is a recognition on the part of our generous Fourth High students of the needs of our library, which extend not only to books but a modern commodious structure in which to house them.

Ol)e Trend) Club 111C ambitious and zealous students of Professor Bonnet’s second year French class, not content merely to follow the prescribed course, sought some means of satisfying their desire for additional knowledge of the subject. Several suggestions were brought forth, and the one accepted as most conducive to acquiring a knowledge of the French language and of French customs was the organization of a “French Club. The purpose of the “French Club” was to arouse in the student an interest in any matter pertaining to French, and to enable him to obtain a broader view than was possible through the study of grammar. At the first meeting of the Club, the election of officers was held with the following results: Maurice Sbertoli. president: lack Scanlon, vice-president; Richard Kennedy, treasurer; and Henry Poos, sergeant-at-arms. The Club convenes one hour a week on Saturdays, to go through with a previously arranged program. The speaker may discourse either in French or English. The Club has proven to be a splendid success for the reason that it combines study with pleasure. In addition to spending an interesting hour much valuable material is presented to the class. Moreover, the study of French is aided by the acquaintance made with modern life and events as they are in France today. On the whole the group was entirely satisfied with the results achieved and look forward to a continuation and an advancement next year. Page One Hundred Seventeen first Row, Left to Right McDonnell.

Spauisb (Tlub I IK Spanish Club was organized in the early part of October. At the initial meeting the officers for the first semester were elected as follows: Paul Wurtz. president: Robert Hays, vice-president: Flynn Klders. secretary: Lyle O’Rourke, treasurer. The constitution and by-laws of the Club were read and adopted. Kach subsequent session was conducted according to Parliamentary Law. and anyone found guilty of a violation of any rule was fined. The name given to the organization was “LI Clubo Castellano.” The purpose of the Club is to study the Spanish language in a practical manner: to give its members opportunities to learn about the customs of the Spanish-speaking countries, their history, literature and commerce; and to develop an ability to understand and speak Spanish with ease and enjoyment. Kach member of the Club pledges himself to take an active part in its activities to the best of his ability. These activities consisted of talks on Spanish subjects, either in Spanish or Kngfish, Spanish plays, anecdotes, games and jokes. During the weekly meetings the members transact as much business as possible in Spanish. The minutes of the meetings as recorded by the secretary were occasionally sent to “La Prensa” in New York and published on the page devoted to Spanish activities of American schools. The Spanish Club is rather a novel organization and judging from the success it has merited during the year. Prof. Bonnet is cherishing high hopes for its future. Page Out- Hundred Eighteen -public Speaking at St. Hilary’s rv fl !'! since the very earliest days of the school's history a great deal of time has been devoted each vear to the task of developing talent among the students in the practice of public speaking. The fruits of these labors appear, to mention but one instance, in the great number of able speakers whose eloquence enlivens the numerous Alumni gatherings. St. Mary’s believes, and rightly so, that if a man is able to stand on his feet and address an audience readily, forcefully, and gracefully, he has acquired an invaluable instrument for good. In fact, a man’s ability to speak well in public is the thing that distinguishes him from the ordinary run of men. It gives him a confidence in himself that comparatively few men possess. It puts him in a position which enables him to use knowledge gained in other fields to the best advantage. In a word, it prepares him to assume the responsibilities of leadership in whatever work he undertakes. During the many years of her existence, St. Mary’s has known the value and the necessity of good courses in public speaking. Hence she has sought to give her pupils every opportunity to become proficient in this art. In the classroom special courses in the fundamental principles of elocution and oratory are offered. ()utside the classroom, these courses are supplemented by the work of the Phil-alethic societies in the College department and the Junior Literary society in the High School department. Here the students are given ample opportunity to practice public speaking. Debates, open forums, and various other programs are given. In addition to such private sessions, there are held each year public debates. elocution contests, and oratorical contests, in which students of special merit arc chosen to compete for valuable prizes. In the years that have passed St. Mary’s has established an enviable reputation in the fields of forensic endeavor. Her success may he attributed to the many institutions in the school which afford the student every opportunity of developing his ability as a public speaker. Therefore, let us continue to cherish these institutions in order that the old standards mav be maintained. Page O u• Hundred Nineteen First Row. Left to Right: Fr. Spalding, S. J., McFarland, J.

J„ author of several text books and of many stories for hoys, the IMiilalethic Society this year was very successful. It was evident at the beginning of the year to all the old-time members that the coming term would be more interesting and more fruitful than in former years. The clever criticisms following the addresses of each appointed speaker, and the skillful arrangement of programs by Father Spalding is the direct cause for whatever the IMiilalethic Society may have done. Due to the fact that a Freshman Debating Society was organized this year, the IMiilalethic Society was smaller in membership than ever before. The advantage of the change was that the members had an opportunity to speak oftener. As pointed out by Father Spalding it is practice in public speaking that brings proficiency, and while the Sophomores were wearing off their fright by frequent appearances, the Juniors and Seniors were slowly gaining in technique. Long before the year ended almost every member could express himself with ease and effectiveness. At the final meeting of the year. Father Spalding said that he felt confident that those who had availed themselves of the advantages offered in the IMiilalethic could stand up in public and give a sjiccch in a manner creditable to a college student. Ihe officers for the school year were: Thomas Kelley, president; Alvin MacFarland, secretary: Martin Rums, secretary; and Robert Hayes, chairman. I'age One Hundred Twenty First Row.

It not only succeeded admirably in the accomplishment of its end. but also proved to be one of the most popular and efficient organizations in the school. About thirty members were present at the initial gathering to express their choice for governing officials. During the next eight months the society carried on its work with enthusiasm and zeal. An extensive program of debates and discussions was scheduled. Among the many questions fought out in forensic combat there were such timely and interesting topics as The Foreign War Debt, The Mexican Situation. Federal Control of Education. Negro Suffrage, Capital Punishment, and Presidential Possibilities of 1928. The activity of the Freshman Philalethic Society was by no means confined to these sessions. Two of its members qualified for the Harbaugh Debate and carried off all honors by jointly winning the decision of the judges, while one received the Washington medal presented to the best debater of the evening. In the elocution contest four of the five participants were from the Freshman society. The Society was also represented in the Ryan Oratorical contest, the Intercollegiate Constitutional Oratorical Contest, and on the Educational Week Program. rage One Hundred Twenty-one First Row, Left to Rujlit: R.

O’Rourke, has completed another banner year of its existence. This year’s Junior Literary has striven to maintain the high standard of the Junior Literary Societies of the past. Our organization began its term in the early part of October, and with slight variation, has met every Monday evening during the year. Mr. O’Rourke has striven diligently to make every program interesting, instructive. and useful. The topics for debate and the current topics were selected with great care and were generally presented in a way that bore witness to diligent preparation on the part of the speakers. The members were conscious of the great good to be derived from the exercises, and made the effort necessary to insure success when their appointed time came to communicate their ideas by means of the spoken word. Now that our year has ended, now that we close our books for ’26 and ’27. we wish to express our gratitude to our esteemed Moderator, and to all who have aided us in our work for their efforts in our behalf. May the Junior Literary Society of the future continue to inspire its members and draw them ever onward to attempt greater things. Page One Hundred Twenty-two First Row. I.eft to Right: Kelley. L.

This debate determines the winner of the ashington Medal, which is donated yearly by Mr. Simon J. Harbaugh of Chicago. The subject under discussion was: “Resolved, That Congress is justified in adopting legislation embodying the principles of the McNary-Haugen Bill. The affirmative team, composed of Messrs. Theodore Bauerlein and Thomas Kelley, battled for forensic honors with their opponents. Messrs. Remi Classman and Robert Ileffernan of the negative team. The verbal battle was fiercely fought and the honors reposed now on one side, now on the other. The affirmative presented the McNary-Haugen Bill as the logical solution of the farmer’s problem, while the negative strove to show that the Bill was economically unsound and that such a plan as it advocated would bring about the destruction of the farming industry. The judges, after much deliberation, awarded the debate to the negative team and gave the Washington Medal to Remi Classman, whom they considered the best speaker of the evening. The debaters, excellent in the delivery of their constructive speeches, honorably upheld the standard set by their predecessors of former years. They proved themselves to be men of the caliber that St. Mary’s College and the Catholic Church needs in the nation’s fields of forensic endeavor. Page One Hundred. Twenty-three Left to KujUt J.

In Grade II. the medal was won by Robert Ingersoll. His selection, “Smiting the Rock.” was given with the ease of a practiced artist and merited the coveted prize. The other speakers in the class were Ernest Hagen, Andrew Koppes and Matthias Heinrich. In Grade HI. comprising members from the Third High Class, the medal was won by Nicholas Eillo with his selection, “Clarence’s Dream.” He gave a very excellent interpretation of this excerpt from Shakespeare’s Richard III. The other contestants in this grade were Francis Manning. William J. Burns and I lomer O’Donnell. All of the speakers of Second High spoke admirably, but Austin Miller with his rendition of the “Baron’s Last Banquet.” proved to he the most capable. The other speakers in this grade were Jack Duffy. John Boyd and Paul Kigali. On the evening of Apr 27. the final elocution contest of the year was held. In Grade I, the “Small Yard ’ was fully represented by the following speakers: Eugene McXallen, James Wade, Joseph Dempsey, and Robert Brest. 1'he medal winner of this group of young elocutionists was Eugene McXallen. His rendition of “The Old Swimmin’ Hole” was inimitable and will long be remembered as the biggest gloom-chaser of either contest. Grade Y was the representative group of the College department. Here, in a hotly and closely contested race. Justin Hoy gave a praiseworthy presentation of “Clarence’s Dream,” and was judged the winner. The other contestants were Donell F.

The late Doctor Miller of St. Marys, was the donor during the years 1801 to 1022. and the contest during those years bore his name. The medal was established bv Mr. Horace II. Hagan, A. I’82. in 1885. The object of the contest is to offer an inducement for students to take up the study of oratory and thus aid themselves in attaining a proficiency in public speaking. 'The contest was held in the Auditorium. May 1( . The contestants in the Ryan Oratorical Contest were Paul Normilc, who chose for his subject the “Happy Warrior ; John Adler, who dwelt upon the timely topic of the Flood Menace in the Mississippi Valley; Robert Heffernan. who selected Ireland for his speech: Lyle )’Rourke, who considered the merits of A1 Smith’s reply to Marshall on the relative positions of Church and State; and Remi Gassman, who offered reflections on the Decay of Leadership. The contest was very even and gave evidence of careful preparation on the part of all the speakers. The judges awarded the gold medal to Lvle O’Rourke for the best oration. Lrnest Hagen of Fourth High represented the High School in the constitutional oratorical contest of northeastern Kansas, held at Hiawatha. Kansas. He was awarded first place and given the honor of representing the seventeenth district in the state contest. In the latter he made a very creditable showing. One Hundred Twenty-six .Athletics at St. MZar ’s niLETICS play a large part in the school life of any college and they come in for their share at St. Mary’s under the Jesuit system of developing a sound mind in a healthy body. U nder this system, athletics are relegated to their proper place. Sports are indulged in not so much for their own sake but with the end in view of developing healthy students. Xo one comes to St. Mary’s for athletics alone. If he does, he soon finds an atmosphere that induces a change of mind. Under the able tutelage of our two coaches. Stephen G. O’Rourke and Joseph I . McGinley. the various varsity teams have made an enviable showing. Football had its disasters, if the records alone are viewed, but they do not tell the whole story. What the students want is to have a team that fights in spite of the odds, and we certainly had such a team during the past year. Due to injuries, the coaches were forced to develop untried material, but the new men always carried on in true St. Mary’s fashion. Basketball started with bright prospects and then a star of three seasons was declared ineligible. And so it went. As for baseball, although old letter-men were scarce, new men rapidly rounded into shape and assured another conference championship. Track had rather tough sledding due to the loss of all last year’s letter-men but it seems a good team was built up for next year. MR. STF.IMIEN G. O’ROURKE Coacli But varsity athletics are only a small cog at St. Mary’s. Due to one of the best systems of leagues in the nation, practically every student engages in one or another sport. Leagues are arranged from the varsity squad down to the lowest league in the Small Yard. These enable everyone to engage in competition with those of equal ability. The opinion is current among the students that the St. Mary’s system of athletics is the best in existence. A new departure was the organization in the Small Yard of a boxing club under the direction of Mr. Fitzgerald. S.J.. and the tutorship of Xick Brungardt. After acquiring a degree of expertness in the “manly art.’’ Xick’s proteges arranged several bouts which were received with applause by an appreciative audience between the halves of some , of the basketball games.

One Hundred Thirty Season S'okmile was not only one of ins St. Mary’s lias ever had. ined qualities of leadership, sportsmanship, and aggressiveness in a remarkable manner. Paul was always in the thick of the fray and the more desperate the battle and the more ticklish the situation the more urgent were his words of encouragement and praise, the more tireless were his efforts to keep the team going at top speed. All praise to Captain Paul Normile, a true St. Mary’s captain. There existed in the team a spirit perhaps even better than in former years. There was. of course, the traditional never-say-dic-spirit. I ut the happy combination of friendship, loyalty, and co-operation made the team the fine unit that it was. The students were quick to recognize this and were all the more loyal and proud of their team’s efforts on the gridiron. Also in defeat each one was willing and ready to forget, realizing there was no use “crabbing” the game. Many things like this combine to offset the memory of the games lost with a more pleasant thought and remembrance of a season in which we often suffered defeat but in which the team or student body admitted they were beaten. Low scores might indicate that we had a very good defense, and at the same time a very poor offense. The former would he correct but the latter could not be asserted so safely. We did have a good offense potentially, but injuries and other things worked havoc in the backfield. We had a wealth of hackfield material at the beginning of the season but after the first game or two it was a case of try and find a whole back-field in good repair. Generally it couldn’t be done, with the result that the offense was rather weak. It may he said confidentially that it was only tough breaks in the matter of injuries that kept us from having an offense that could have provided the few tallies that separated defeat from victory. However winter has passed and spring is here. CArTAlX NORM ILK One Hundred Thirty-one ('apt aix-elect Hkxry Poos. Hank is quite a rover in the line. He lias played tackle, guard and center with equal merit during his three years on the varsity and when lie plays center he plays everything from end to defensive half-back. Anyone who has played opposite “Henri in the line will be only too glad to testify to the fact that he is a bad man to face. Good luck during the coming season. Henry. U. OF WICHITA 15—ST. MARY’S 0 Due to practically continuous rains during the two weeks preceding October 4 . the team was in poor shape for their initial fray. At the very outset of the contest an intercepted pass and a nice run gave the Wheatshockers a chance to score and they acted on the assumption that opportunity knocks but once, for they grabbed it with clutching hands. Lack of concerted action and many fumbles kept the play in St. Mary’s territory throughout the quarter. Brungardt was taken out earlv in the game with a badly injured elbow which bothered him the rest of the season. Early in the second quarter a bad pass from center recovered bv Greve gave the invaders two points, which, coupled with another touchdown, brought the total to 15 points for the half. To start the second half Cramer subbing for Brungardt returned the kick-off (Ht yards. A first down put the ball on the 10-vard line, but another fumble lost it and the most serious scoring threat of the afternoon turned out to he a dud. The rest of the period resolved itself into a trading orgy mostly via the punting route but frequently by tumbles. All during the fourth quarter Coach O’Rourke made numerous substitutions, but the strategist wasn’t able to do any damage and the game ended with the Saints still battering away unsuccessfully at the Wheat-shocker's impenetrable defense. As a whole the game was poorly played. Fumbles were frequent, and sad to relate, the boys from Wichita were very greedy when it came to recovering them. This counted a great deal in the outcome of the game. Edward Mueluaupt also earned his third football letter this year which is ample testimony of his ability. In spite of the fact that Ed totes a fair-weather knee he plays a slashing game at tackle. I le breaks up plays before they get under way and opens holes for his own backs to wade through. If Ed is as successful in his game of life as he was at football, he will rise to great heights. Ml’KI.IIAI’PT P )( S Out- Hundred, Thirty-two Joseph Howard ruled supreme at quarterback for more reasons than one. His calm and collected manner of running the team gained for him the respect of his team-mates, his opponents and the of-ficals. Moreover his passing and drop-kicking were above the average. These things together with his ready eye for discerning the weakness of the opponent's defense gained for him honorable mention on the All-State team. HOWARD st. mauv’s 3—McPherson • It was shameful the way the Saints pulled this game out of the tire, as it was a feature attraction of a big celebration at McPherson, but in the final period Jake Howard hooted a neatly toed drop-kick through the uprights and the dire deed was done. The game started with the Bulldogs receiving and quickly annexing a couple of first downs. But just when they commenced to look dangerous. the Irish defense clamped down and the Bulldogs could bark but they failed to bite. The Saints found all attempts to gain yardage blocked so the game turned into a punting duel. Greve held the edge in spite of two short punts. The second half saw a much improved St. Mary’s team on the field. They slashed their way through the Bulldogs for repeated gains which kept the play in McPherson territory most of the time. Porter’s attempted drop-kick in the third quarter was close. W hen the fourth quarter was only a few minutes old. McPherson fumbled a punt which Ryan recovered. A pass from Howard to Brennan was good and put the ball on the ten-yard line. A line play gained a little but the Bulldogs yielded stubbornly. 'The aforesaid drop-kick ended the afternoon’s scoring. The Saints played such an improved brand of ball that one could hardly recognize in them the team of the previous week. Frank Hyi.axd. “Cuey’s” play at tackle was one of the outstanding features of the season. If he has any weaknesses they are still uncovered for he stopped plays dead repeatedly, broke through and smeared plays before they were underway, went down on punts like an All-American, and on offense he opened holes big enough to drive a wagon through. He has two years left to ruin opponents’ hopes of victory. HYLAND One Hundred Thirty-three Joe Greve. Joe started the season at end where his playing was phenomenal, but because of his exceptional punting and plunging he was shifted to the back field. Joe out punted his opponent in every game of the season and this coupled with his all around ability as an end landed him a berth on the second All-State team. This should he only a stepping stone to greater honors in the next two years. r.RKVK IIAYS 13—ST. MARY’S 1) Xo one who saw this game will ever forget it. Like all I lays games it was a battle from the start to finish. St. Mary’s kicked off. Hays worked the ball well into midfield before they relinquished it. Greve punted far down the field and by means of a pass or two and by means of some sweeping end runs behind perfect interference I lays marched up the field to chalk up the first counter of the day. An extra point was added. Early in the next quarter the Saints staged a little parade of their own which ended when Brungardt nabbed a lo-vard pass from Porter and stepped over the goal line. Try for point was unsuccessful. The half ended with Howard making a spectacular 0-yard return of a punt only to have the last man remaining between him and the goal succeed in his attempt to stop the run. The Saints outgained the Tigers during the third period. Thirsting for a touchdown they had to be satisfied with a drop-kick to put them in the lead. From then on till late in the fourth quarter a pretty punting duel was waged with Greve more than holding his own. Mays was waiting for a break and St. Mary's was playing conservative ball. Finally despairing of a break Mays started on its forty yard line and aided by a twenty yard dash off-tackle, pushed across the goal line just as the game ended. It was a glorious battle and the team looked great even in defeat. Wenikii.in Hkukcakut. Although Xick arrived a little late, this didn’t prevent him from quickly stepping into the old berth at halfback which he held two or three years ago. Nick was not only one of the fastest men on the team but he carried plenty of weight to crash through the line. Wherever the fight was thickest, this plucky little halfback would be found in the midst of it. IJRUNGAKDT Om■ Hundred Thirty-four Linus Munding. Though there was nothing flashy or spectacular about “Monday’s” playing he could always be depended on to turn his man in and few indeed were the plays that went around him. Injuries kept him out of the competition the latter part of the season, hut his early season work easily earned for him his second letter. I le should go even better during the two years he has left. MUNDING OTTAWA 13—ST. MARY’S 0 We never completely understood the significance of the “reversion to type’ idea but St. Mary’s team as a team did some tall back-sliding during the Ottawa game. Perhaps it was just a letdown after the stenuous battle of the previous week. Not to be concerned with the whys and wherefores let it suffice to say that something was wrong. Twice during the first five minutes of play opportunities to score through the recovery of Ottawa fumbles were tossed away. On both occasions the only thing that was needed to score was to have men on the receiving end of passes wrap their arms around the ball. At times the Saints showed flashes of form but never for long. On the other hand the Ottawa outfit, while never playing brilliantly, were clever enough when an opportunity to score came their way. Bad passes from center were frequent and prevented them from making more yardage than they did. The game lacked energy and after two preceding thrillers seemed very dull indeed. The boys played with a dogged determination, which, though it lacked fire and aggressiveness, was all that was responsible for the score not being larger. James Sweeney was another one of the late arrivals to make his letter. l ig, powerful, and full of fight, he was a welcome addition to the none too heavy Irish line. His defense work improved during the whole season until in the final game he really tore things up. 11 is power and ability should make him one of the mainstays of next year’s team. SWEENEY One Hundred Thirty-five Thomas Daly. After several years of hard work on the second team ‘Jeebes got his chance and made good with a vengeance at guard. He was somewhat small for a guard hut a typical example of a fast, brainy player. Nor was it his ability to pull out of the line on offense that gained for him a regular position on the team. When he settled down on defense, he couldn't be taken out. WASH BUR X 10—ST. MARY’S T The annual battle with our friendly enemies from down the Kaw valley was captured by the Ichabods. but only after a memorable fight. hitweighed in nearly every position, it was only the scrappiness of the Irish that held off the foe. After St. Marv’s scored a touchdown on a pass from Porter to Greve about the end of the first quarter, during which quarter the Irish outplayed the opposition, the superior weight of the Ichabods slowly began to tell and just before the half ended they scored a touchdown on a short lateral pass. Ilawkes duplicated Howard’s feat of kicking goal and the score was tied. With the opening of the third stanza the Ichabods started smashing the Saints' line with great success. Several times they marched down the field through a line that yielded more stubbornly as it was pushed closer to its goal. Kach time Joe Greve stepped back and booted the oval 65, To. and 85 yards on succe.-oive attempts. However, in the fourth quarter Washburn got close enough to place-kick and again Ilawkes came through, this time to win the game. The Saints made valiant attempts to come back by the over-head method, but injuries had so weakened the line-up that punch was lacking: and Washburn was able to counterbalance all offensive thrusts with equally strong defensive moves: consequently the pigskin now rests securely at Washburn. However, all those who returned for homecoming day saw a real game which they will long remember as a vivid example of the old Irish fight. Timothy Murimiy. Tim's prize letter came as a result of years of patient endeavor and persevering work that made him a valuable man for any line position. Undoubtedly his training a la Grange on the ice wagon was a big help to Steer for not only was he the- most popular ice-man in his native city, but. more important, he gained the acclaim of all by his excellence on the gridiron. MURPHY I) AI.Y One Hundred Thirty-six John Ryan . Jack is another of those agile and versatile boys that play nearly any position. Starting the season in the back-field, he easily fitted into a wing position when called on to do so and before the season was over had gained for himself an enviable reputation at that position. It was a case of too bad when the enemy fumbled with Jack in the game, for he was always on the ball like a mess of wildcats. RYAN ST. MARY’S 20—BFTI1KL 0. From the outset the Saints looked much better than the Bethelites and as time went on their superiority became more marked. On the third play of the game Greve cut in off tackle and showed his heels to a field of would-be tacklers while he covered fifty yards. A fumble ruined a chance to score. 'The same thing happened to several other scoring chances before the quarter was over. To start the second quarter Greve plunged yards on three attempts for the first touch- down. Before the period was over Hank Poos, our versatile center, intercepted a pass and galloped thirty-five yards carrying two tacklers over the goal line with him for the second touchdown. Practically a whole team of substitutes played the second half. Cooney at quarter was the sensation of the afternoon, showing himself to be a great general and an excellent ball-lugger. His dashes around end netted four consecutive first downs. Once he got clear away, slithered, squirmed, and twisted 35 yards. The last scoring thrust of the game was a beautiful 45-yard pass from Greve to McFarland over the goal line. Cooney added the extra point. Greve’s punting was as good as ever and another reason why the play was nearly always in Bethel territory. In the course of the afternoon the Saints chalked up 1(5 first downs to Bethel's one. This game uncovered some excellent material among the reserves hitherto more or less unsuspected, which should go far towards making a strong team next year. Larky Brennan. After playing at quarter on the second team for a year, Larry was shifted to end and occasionally to half. It would be difficult to say just where he played the better game. A hard hitting brainy player with enough speed to overcome his weight handicap, he showed real worth and promise in the Washburn and Wesleyan games. Unless we arc wrong, Larry is on the path to stardom. HRKXXAX One Hundred Thirty-seven POUT Kit John' Porter. Geared fast, hung low. and possessed of an eagle eye for holes, johnny was the biggest ground gainer of the hack field. Besides, he could toss a pass just about where he wanted it with surprising regularity. These factors made him a constant threat all through the game. Me skirted the ends and plunged off tackle for many sensational gains. KANSAS WKSLKYAX 13—ST. MARY’S 0 St. Man's broke away from an old custom and played away from home on Thankstrivin ' dav. It mav have been Thanksgiving but there was anvthing but o 0 ' 0 gratitude in the spectators' and players' hearts for the weather man. A bitter cold wind was blowing straight down the field from the regions of dogs, sleds, and totem poles. With the wind at their hacks the Saints received the kick-off and lohnnv Porter carried it back to the middle of the field. A little later he uncorked a long end run to place the ball within the ten-yard line, but three plays failed to gain much and a drop-kick went wide of its mark. A blocked punt resulted in a thirty-yard place kick for the Coyotes’ initial three points. All during the second period the lighter Irish line, minus the services of Captain Xormile. held off the Covotes. Inn in the third quarter they commenced to wear the Saints down and Isaacson broke away for repeated gains. Another fumble gave him a second chance to place-kick and the score was -0. More fumbles gave the Coyotes another scoring chance and this time they turned it into a touchdown. Porter broke a wav for another long run but the Saints couldn’t make good and the game ended 13-0. The excellent playing of Larry Brennan. Johnny Porter, and Sweeney stood out prominently, but even their strenuous efforts were not enough to overcome the damage done by Isaacson. James Cramer. Jimmy got a letter during his first season at St. Mary's because he possessed no mean ability as a half-back. Though light, he was fast and shifty and broke away for some thrilling broken-field runs. In spite of the fact that he didn’t play much. Jimmy earned his letter because he always came through when given a chance. CRAMER Oih' u ndri'd Thirty-eight Front Row. Left to Right: Rrungardt.

Ificjb School Tootball rp A HEX Mr. Meyer and Coach Carroll issued the call for high school football squad candidates, they were swamped with material, a fact indicative of the interest shown. The I’reps got away to a flying start when they trounced Highland Park of Topeka, 44-0. The game was all Irish from the very beginning and the locals had no difficulty at all. In the second game, the Carrollmen dropped the powerful College Frosh squad, 6-0. Hill Pope’s St. Mary’s Stars, from the village, numbering among them some of the best men in the leagues, took a beating as the Preps hung up their third win of the short season. The score was 20-6, but in no way does it tell the story of the High School’s supremacy. The final game of the High School schedule was the Thanksgiving day tilt with Topeka Catholic. Club. Since it was the main attraction here, as the varsity was away, the Little Irish proceeded to make the most of the day. At first they showed signs of stage fright and let the Capital City team get the lead when they scored on the first play. But the locals settled down to football after that and turned it into a 20-6 victory and a clean slate for the season. The success of the High School season is due in no small measure to the untiring efforts of Mr. T. Meyer. S. J„ and Prof. Carroll, coaches of the team. The co-operation between coaches and players was all that could be desired and aided greatly in writing into the history of the St. Mary’s High School another successful football season. One Hundred Forty-one Ota .Football Ceagues 33 wyj 11K Football leagues arc an institution that St. Mary’s could not very well do without. They have grown, iron) a humble beginning back in grB3 the days when most of us were cutting teeth, and before, to a system of athletic development that has gained recognition all over the United States. And here at St. Mary’s they not only serve as a recreation but as a unit, and a big one, in the development of varsity material. More than one of the stars of yesterday and today owes his fame to “busted shins” on the league fields. In first league. Tommy Welsh led his team through a championship season, and finished on top of the heap, after having his lead threatened by every team in the loop. Johnny Ryan moved over from the Small Yard just in time to pilot his team to a second league championship, though he had Blake’s team on his heels the whole way. He had the necessary spunk though and the record shows his eleven perched on top of the standings. In third league, (ientleman O’Grady appropriated the honors with an air of finality that left no one in doubt as to just where the silver footballs should go in his league. All in all. the leagues passed through an unequalled season, both as regards the schedule, the | ep. the interest, and the spirit of co-operation shown. 1'heir success was in a large way due to Mr. J. Meyer. S. J.. and Bill Burns, the latter the “(A C. Pyle of the Kansas Conference,” who took charge of the clerical end of the work and had things ready at just the right time. May the leagues endure to see manv more seasons as successful as the one of 1 ! «£( ! A committee composed t Mr. T. O’Connor, S.J., Mr. J. Meyer. S.J.. Coach Carroll and the officials and the captains of the leagues, chose the best players in the leagues. In selecting the all-star teams they took into consideration the ability of the man. his adaptability, fidelity to schedule, and his conduct on and off the field.

Small ar6 .Football F YOU should Ik mentioning pep and spirit, coupled with fight and grit, and are at a loss for an example, may we suggest the Small Yard Football leagues. They get the “Fighting Irish” spirit out early, and in some way. maybe due to early teaching, it sticks. Now there are many examples of pep and interest shown in athletics in a college the size of St. Mary’s, but these Small Yard leagues take the cake, when it comes to sustained pep. I hey are its very personification. The row commenced in the two Small Yard leagues sometime last fall, and it was over sometime the same fall, but they’re talking about it yet. In the first league there was a battle from the word “go” and though Ilansan managed to win every game on his schedule, and cop the flag, there was by no means a runaway. Every game was closely contested, and some nearly ended with dire results to Hansan’s championship hopes. Copeland pressed him the whole season, and Tainter brought up the rear, with a fighting eleven, not victorious in many games, but a worthy foe for the best of them. In the second league. Wilkerson took his men to the banquet after he had led them through an undefeated season, winning all six games. Adler dogged his heels, and Dempsey ended the procession, for Dame Fortune failed to smile on him. If they had scored points for fights in the second league it would have been difficult to decide just who would have gone to the feast that was accorded the winners. One Hundred Forty-foil Ol)e basketball Season X A CONFERENCE of nineteen teams, and one that ranks among the best of the State conferences, the hoys held their own very commendable and finished in sixth place. Stiff opposition was met as is evident when one remembers that W ichita and Washburn finished in second and fourth place respectively at the National A. A. U. tournament in Kansas City. From the coach’s standpoint, the first tough break was to have Ed (Jrosdidier, center par excellence for three years, declared ineligible. Joe Grevc was shifted from guard to center and Porter was at guard for a time. Soon McXary had a firm hold on the guard position. Johnny Ryan also proved to be a find at guard. No difficulty was experienced at right forward—try to find a better man than Bushev. In pre-holiday practice Cooney looked like a boy phenoni, but later injuries caused him to give place to Jerry Morrisey, whose speed, clever floor work, and mean eye for the basket, caused the opposition no end of worry. Two games were dropped to W ashburn, both by narrow margins. In the two games with Baker, the boys did not have a chance as Baker simply couldn’t miss. Wichita also checked a game in the won column at our expense but only after a hard tussle. )ne of the notable achievements was beating Mays three out of four games. “Bush” ran wild in the first two games but out at I lays they were on him with everything but the scorekeeper’s watch chain and he didn’t have a chance. ()ttawa fell twice before the Saints, who used a delayed attack to win in the closing minutes. Sterling was beaten in a like manner. Wesleyan managed to eke out a victory in the first game, but the return affair showed the Saints in the best light of the year. Offense worked perfectly to snow the Coyotes under and the defense was impregnable, holding them to one basket in the first half and three in the second. Against our time honored stumbling blocks from Southwestern the Saints flashed a brilliant offense and won handily. 'l'lie managerial letter was bestowed upon i im Murphy who deserves it for the exemplary manner in which he handled his various duties. lie was well liked by both the coaches and the team for his cheerfully rendered aid. One Hundred, Forty-five Captain Bushev ITT I J' has been said as yet about Captain Frank Bushev of the Irish Warriors. The reason is that the scribe feels that he cannot do “Bush justice when it conies to lauding our hot-shot captain. For. when Bush opened up it was like trying to stop one of those cyclones well known in Bush’s native state. Neither can be done. W hen the season had rolled by he had annexed more points than any other man in tin Conference. To lie high scorer among such a number of basket-heavers denotes true ability in sinking the sphere. The fact that Ace was selected for a berth on the All-Conference team is ample testimony of his ability. But his crowning achievement was his being given the captaincy of this mythical quintet. The honor gives testimony to his true worth. basketball Schedule J)cc. 1G K. S. A. C. St. Mary’s Opponci 11 Hec. IS K. S. A. C. Manhattan 10 33 Ian. • •) Ian. l.'i K. C. A. C. Kansas City 16 IT Ian.

Though guard is Joe’s position lie was shifted to center and came through in great style. Ilis size made it easy for him to get the tip. which he generally did. Joe never really found his basket eye. but in spite of it he managed to count a good many points before the season was over. The low scoring of opposing centers i ample testimony of his defensive work. John Ryan. Johnny struggled without much success last year to gain a position of forward. When the big shake-up of the team took place he was changed to guard and took to it like a fish to water. Besides being an excellent defensive man he was an important cog in the offensive, garnering his share of the points with regularity and increasing his effectiveness with every game. William Me Nary. Although a new man on the basketball squad, Bill quickly annexed one of the guard positions and held it throughout the season. I le always managed to keep his man well checked. Bill’s specialty was taking the ball off the back-board. At this job he was unexcelled. Bill always had a knack of hitting the basket and could be relied on for a few every game. One Hundred Forty-eight M. .VARY RYAN Gerald Morkisey. It was a matter of some speculation whether Jerry would be able to keep up the fast pace he set on the High School team, but a few games sufficed to show that he was even better as a college player. Like Bush he could hit from all angles. Exceptional speed and brilliant floor work, together with his swishing ability made him one of the most feared men on the team. MORkiSKY Paul Cooney. Paul amply lived up to the expectations of those who saw him play with Topeka Catholic High School last year, lie excelled during the first two games. A broken foot kept him out of the game for several weeks and lie had difficulty in getting back in form again. A fast man. he was always a thorn in the side of the opponents. Pan! should have a great record next season. COONEY Thomas Brennan. After a good start in the early weeks. 'Torn lost his stride and took quite a while to get it back. I Iowever, his good work during the first part of the season and his ability to come through in the pinches, easily earned him a letter.

The 10 2« season was a success in more ways than one. Successful in point of schedule, successful in point of reputation gained, it was more successful in its work of development of material for St. Mary's varsities in years to come. When Coach McGinlcv called practice he was laced with the task of practically rebuilding a team that had numbered among its men in recent years, such stars as Gerald Morrissey, and lot Xadeau. Clem Hoffmans. George Smith and Kill Kelley, all members of this season’s College varsity. With Captain Schilling and Chamberlain as a nucleus, the task was somewhat lightened by the wealth of material that answered the call. Some forty men reported for practice, among them Titus and Fox, Junior Stars of last year. McMindes. Smith. Coles and DeMars. all tried material. After several weeks of practice Coach McGinlcv shaped his team, and the finished product found Captain Shilling and Chamberlain at the forward positions. Titus at center, and McMindes and Fox at guards. The squad was rich in reserve material and several men were ready to take the floor at any time. The regular schedule was a clean record for the Irish throughout. Kmmett was the first victim of the local court. Topeka Catholic High followed and was turned back in nice fashion. The Irish could shoot, and the defensive play was improving each game. So tight was the defense in the Topeka game, that it was well in the second half before the Topeka outfit counted a field goal. Havensville was dropped in the third straight win for the locals. Junction City with a clean slate ran against a snag in taking on the Little Saint outfit and had their record broken for them, in the Irish’s fourth win. Manhattan Catholic dropped in and out for the fifth victory and the second defeat administered to Topeka Catholic ended the regular season, with six consecutive victories to the credit of Coach McGiiliey's j r iteges. The Kansas Catholic High School Tourney was the crowning point of the local’s success, and, while they did not win the meet they made such a remarkable showing that their efforts cannot be called unsuccessful.

Then the 1 ’reps met the highly tooted Wichita Cathedral team. That game will be remembered for a long, long time, especially by Wichita’s crew of huskies. It was a fight from the word “go’ and Wichita was played completely off her feet. Only the remarkable shooting of one man kept them from going down under the exceptional work of the local team. Every man of them fought all the way only to see Meyer shoot ichita into the lead by a small score. “Out-shot, maybe, out-fought, never” can certainly he applied to the Preps for their remarkable showing against the State Champions. The Irish gained third place by their victory over Junction City. When the tourney was summed up and the officials were passing out the honors Captain Schilling and Tex McMindes were among those present. Both were named on the first all-state team. Fox and Titus were also among those present, but in a lesser degree, with places on the second team. Fox being named captain of the second selections. The season was a success. There can l e no doubt of that. And to Coach McGinley goes the credit for the work of the team. Instilling court knowledge, pep and fight from the minute he called practice, the success of his work is measured by the success of his team. High School Basketball at St. Mary’s has been set a high standard to shoot at by the record of this year’s team. One Hundred Fifty-one basketball Oournament HE fourth annual Kansas Catholic High School Basketball Tourney held at St. Mary’s tor the second successive year was well conducted and was very interesting. The team front Cathedral High of W ichita, for the third time in three years, was victorious. Each member of this team measured six feet or over, and each player had a year or two of high school playing experience. In the National Catholic Tourney held at Chicago, one week after the state tourney, the Wichita team reached the semi-finals and lost only after its regular players had been forced out of the game. Nine representative Catholic High School teams of Kansas played hard and fast basketball. The first round games of Friday. March 11th, eliminated the hopefuls from St. I’aul. Wea. Topeka. Aurora and Manhattan. This left four teams. W ichita. St. Mary’s. Junction City and Hays for the semi-finals Saturday aftertax n. At three o’clock. St. Mary’s and Wichita played what proved to be the deciding game of the tournament. Wichita used its size and weight to an advantage and emerged victorious. V.J-H . At no time however were they safe and the spectators unanimously declared this battle to be the greatest high school engagement they had ever seen. 'I'hc second semi-final tilt was won by Hays when they managed to retain a four-point margin they had gained in the early stages of their encounter with Junction City. The score was 18-14. In the finals Saturday evening, W ichita easily overwhelmed Hays and earned the right to represent Kansas in the National meet. St. Mary’s defeated Junction City and obtained third place while Kansas City downed Topeka for the consolation cup. The championship contest ended precisely as it did last year. Wichita was first. Hays second and St. Mary’s third. Sunday morning all attended the Tournament Mass and Breakfast. At the breakfast talks were made by the visiting coaches and Rev. A. Berens. S.J., Dean of the College, presented the victors their sj oils. Wichita received the Rev. B. J. Rodman Cup and obtained permanent | ossession of the Bishop Tief Cup as a reward for thrice winning the tournament. The all-state team was then announced and Captain Meyers of Wichita was named the best player of the tourney. A silver trophy and a gold medal fell to his lot. Schilling of St. Mary’s was given the running-mate position to Meyers at forward. “Big Jim” Rausch by his excellent play merited the center award while his brother. A. Bausch of Wichita, and McMindes of St. Mary’s were regarded as the class of the guard position in the state. It was a successful tournament from every viewpoint and one that all will look back to with pleasure. One Hundred, Fifty-two Ceague basketball S'JJj] 11E past season of the national indoor sport is one to look back upon with jgw the utmost satisfaction. her two hundred students answered the call 7jn {gfs of the court, but notwithstanding this great number of players, interest was maintained at high pitch throughout the season. Some excellent material was uncorked and a star brand of basketball was manifested generally. Beyond a doubt some of the players will be on the squad in and fighting hard for S. M. C. In the first league “Frankie ’ Smith, due to the splendid team work of his five and the deadly basket-shooting of Fox. his stellar forward, emerged victorious by a scant margin. The redoubtable “Nick ’ Brungardt carried off the honors of the second league, while three teams were tied for second place and only one game behind the leader. In the Third League.

Some of the teams have been really excellent. It has been years since a conference team was able to gather in a victory from St. Mary’s sluggers. Due to the failure of Len Sehawe to return to school last fall it was necessary to select another captain for the nine. 'The letter-men went into brief conference and announced that the man of their choice was “Ace” Bushey, famous for his exploits on the basketball court and possessing no little fame on the diamond by reason of his string of victories last year and his no-hit, no-run game against Southwestern.

Kelly of Bucyrus. the pitching department caused the coaches no worry. Behind the plate I£ddie Scidl had everything his own way and did a nice job of holding down “Ace” and his corps of hinders. W'hitey Smith has been assigned the keystone sack position and is holding forth in great style. Paul Cooney is regularly stationed at second and ably takes everything that comes his way. At short, we have another new arrival in the person of Geltz. whose stature is anything hut an indication of his ability. Although small, he covers a lot of ground, scoops them out of the dirt, and throws to first like a veteran. “Gcg” Smith finally won out in the race for the hot corner position. His specialty is pop-up infield flies, and fouls and no matter how high they are, they are duck-soup for “Geg.” The outfield is nicely taken care of hv Brungardt.

But in the sixth both coaches wisely decided not to take any chances with their star hinders, and because it was a cold day. inserted new men on the mound. In One Hundred Fifty-seven obc baseball Season this move the Aggies had the better of it tor they were able to garner 11 runs in the remaining innings while the Saints were able to get blit • . I he game at least provided some good experience for the green men on the team. ST. MARY’S ir—BAKER 1 In the second inning the game was won when the Irish succeeded in getting in 8 runs. Baker's only run came in the second when the bases were filled. A hit. a couple of errors, and a walk with the liases loaded gave them their only tally. Bush had them at his mercy the rest of the game allowing but two hits and striking out 1 2 men. Ryan poled a homer in the third with two on base. ST. MARY’S S—HASKELL : Johnny Ryan held the Indians off while his mates were piling up a lead till the seventh and then took it easy. When he got in a hole in the ninth Bushev relieved him and retired the Indians with one run. All the Redskins together got only five hits, while John struck out nine of them. Seidl was the heavy hitter for the Irish with two hits out of two times up. The victory was costly as Geltz injured his knee and had to be replaced. Bush got the only extra base hit of the game, a double. ST. MARY’S 13- ST. J()ILVS I St. John’s was no match for the locals with Bushev on the mound. )nly four hits were made from his offerings and the only run came as a result of two errors in the eighth. Five runs were made in the first after which the Saints took it easy but scored almost at will anyway. Cooney was heavy hitter with five safeties in six attempts. W'hitey Smith had '• singles to his credit and Bushev earned a free dinner and haircut by circling the bases after a smash far over the left-fielder. ST. MARY’S )- SOCT1IWFSTFRX ; ST.

Bushev took up the job and despite several error held the opposing hatters in check. At the end of the second the score was ?- in favor of the Saints after which both teams settled down and played ball. John Ryan had the honor of pitching the second game and though wild at times had the better of the argument all the way. BUSIIKY TAOS A MAN AT HOME One Hundred Fifty-i ight Obe baseball Ccagues baseball leagues have gotten away to one of the slowest starts in the 62..jpjjj history of the grand old game at this institution. Up to date hardly enough games have been played to say the leagues are started. The reasons for this are many and varied but the primary and most important one is that you can't play baseball in the rain. Rains frequent enough to keep the fields looking like swamps have fallen all spring. Besides this the interest in the baseball leagues has suffered. In the old days when town “pers were scanty, and when there was no golf course, the students naturally turned to baseball for their recreation and as a consequence there was no difficulty in getting the players to turn out for the games. The existing conditions should he improved for the baseball leagues have been the training camps for the Varsity in the past. The games used to be really good, hard fought, well pitched, and often errorless frays. They not only held the interest of the players but often attracted larger crowds of students than some of the Varsity games. It is hoped that with the arrival of better weather the leagues will snap out of their lethargy and show something of the old time pep. In the first league only two practice games have been placed in the books at the time this was written. In one of these pre-season games the Sen-Juns triumphed over the Frosh. while on the same day the Sophs tasted defeat at the hands of the snappy fourth High School club which latter boasts in I Idlings one of the best pitchers in the leagues. As far as can be judged the Sen-Juns seem to have a good club. Last year they had no pitchers while this year over halt the team can take their turn on the mound if necessary. The Sophs also have a very nice team and with Johnny Berg, the best southpaw twirler in the leagues, they should be hard to keep down. The Frosh team seems to be the weak sister of the circuit for there is a dearth of pitchers in the class. The other leagues have done slightly better. The Sen-Inn Seconds and the Soph Seconds seem to be holding the inside track in second league. The Small Yard, as usual, seems to be off to a flying start. Baseball there has its usual number of followers and the games arc fast and replete with thrills and excitement. In the first league (ileeson is the pace-setter with three victories and no defeats, though Boyd is right on his heels with only one defeat chalked up against him. Arth and Ries are struggling to get started and once they do the standings may be reversed. In second league Sullivan tops the list, though by a very narrow margin. Butler or Homer are very likely to snatch the leader’s crown if he slips as they are both tied for second place. Roney is now doing cellar duty but has determined that the end of the season will see somebody else at the foot of the stairs. t Our Hundred Fifty-nine 0 n- intdred Sixty RACK this season lias furnished an example of the difficulty of trving to maintain two sports at a small college, during the spring months. The difficulty arises in that baseball absorbs the greatest interest, following, and number of athletes. In spite of this the results this season were better than one would expect. With the small number that turned out for track Coach Stanley Carroll has done very nicely. The greatest handicap that he had to overcome was the absence of all of last year’s letter-men. Of the old timers on the squad, Hyland and Poos have been the best performers. They have turned in the several firsts in the weight events. Big “Hank” has even been lifting his 210 lbs. over the bar to make several points in the high jump. Brungardt has not as yet perfected a start that will put him out in front, though in the low hurdles he has been quite a sensation, easily winning that event in two meets. Wrobleski and Morriscy can clear a nice stretch of sand in the broad jump. They failed to hit their proper stride in the Washburn meet but both came through in the Ottawa meet to capture first and second. Washburn won the first meet of the season by taking 12 firsts and amassing 85 points while the Irish were gathering 45. The second meet was with Ottawa. That school won the meet in a 82-4!) victory. Poos took first in the shot-put in the Washburn meet, Hyland did likewise in the discus, and Brungardt in the low hurdles. To these were added Wrobleski’s in the broad jump and Tate’s victory in the 440, this latter in spite of the fact he donned a suit for the first time on that day. It is hoped that the improvement shown in this meet will be further noticeable in the triangular meet to he held with Bethany and Wesleyan.

Taking the lead in the first event, ash-burn track and field men amassed points on first and seconds and took the dual meet from the Irish. 85-15. Coach Carroll’s athletes, mostly green men, could not compete on even terms with the veterans of Topeka. Led bv Dean, individual star of the meet, and Chase, stellar distance man, the Ichabods took eleven firsts and the relay, while three firsts went to the Irish. Poos scored first in the shot-put : Hyland first in the discus throw and Brungardt first in the low hurdles. Hyland with eleven points was the high point man for the Irish. O’Leary, Kramer and McGuire turned in nice races for the distances and Moynihan and Dempsey, new men. showed possibilities in the field events. Brungardt and Morrisey have ability in the dashes. Wrobleski gave a good account of himself. On April 30, the track team journeyed t Ottawa. Ottawa took the meet. 82-10. though the showing of the Irish was far from poor. 1 lie locals took five firsts. Tate in the 440, Poos in the shot put. Hyland in the discus throw, Brungardt in the low hurdles, and W robleski in the broad jump, were the first place winners for the locals. W'robleski’s twenty foot four inch broad jump, followed by Morrisey with twenty feet two inches, and Diz Tate’s triumph in the 440 helped along the Irish squad. Second and third in the distances and dashes swelled the Irish score. The Ottawa relay team won by a bare six inches. One Hundred Sixty-two Orianijutar Mteet X MOXD.W . May 9th, St. Mary’s was host to Kansas Wesleyan of Salina and , 1 Lindsey’s Bethany Swedes from Lindsborg in a triangular meet. The W'esleyans were first with . points, Bethany second with 41' 2 points, and St. Mary’s a very close third with points. The meet was held in the face of a high wind and dust storm and the marks made were quite good considering this disadvantage. Of special note was the high jump event. Isaacson, the Kansas Wesleyan husky, whose fame on the gridiron, has often been broadcast, was the high point man and individual star of the meet. He took first place in the hundred yard dash, the 220, the broad jump, the javelin throw and second place in the discus, besides running anchor position for the winning Wesleyan relay team. Isaacson weighs 185 pounds and has an ideal build for an all round athlete. The Bethany and St. Mary’s teams put up a determined fight for second place but the high jump finally broke a tie and gave the former its slim margin. This meet was just a little too dusty and windy to please the spectators and participants. The local athletes showed decided improvement since the home crowd had witnessed their engagement with Washburn two weeks before. Considering this improvement together with the fact that only two men will be lost by graduation, the prospects for a good track team next year are very bright. One Hundred Sixty-three l.cft to Rtght: O'l-cary, Rochcl, II. Maguire. Martin Clark. Cross-iTountrv several years cross-country running lias been gaining favor in the affaraw Kansas Conference. Last year there was a concerted movement towards a-S; v£l making it a conference s| ort. Upon hearing this the athletic hoard of St. Mary’s, with their usual foresight..arranged a competition between the students in order to develop any running material that might he in the school and to build up candidates for the Varsity Track Squad in the spring. With this beginning last year a further step was arranged this year. Several meets were scheduled hut due to a mistake in the eligibility list all of them hut one were cancelled. The trials to select a five-man team were held on the afternoon of Monday, (October 28. Nine men started, including the first, second and third place winners of last year’s race. Joe Kochel. who copped the honors last year, was the first man to breast the tape. Mis time for the distance grind was 12:24. several seconds better than last year’s record. The next four to finish together with their times were: Martin Clarke. 12:53; Joe O'Leary, 12:4 ; Robert Heffernan, 12:52. and Henry Maguire. 12:53. These men by reason of their splendid work in the trial were selected to run against Baker in a meet held between halves of the St. Mary’s —Washburn grid classic as an added feature of the Home-Coming celebration. Three Baker men crossed the line before Kochel and O’Leary, the first St. Mary’s men to finish, so Baker easily copped the event. )ur runners deserve the praise of being pioneers and it is hoped that following their example there will be many more engaged in this sport next year. Out‘ uuti red Sixty-four McAuliffc. Ilcrg, Mr, J. I.alcltford. S.J.. Rodman. K. Matiion. Bolf I'. MARY’S entered upon her fourth year of competitive golf with virtually a new team. Captain Berg was the only man left of last year’s quartet. The greatest loss is felt in the absence of Manasil, star golfer of last year, who holds the course record. Besides Captain Johnny Berg there are Manion. Rodman and McAuliffc on this year's team. These men under the able guidance of Mr. J. Latchford. S.J.. have shown some ability and are expected to make their presence felt in the Conference. The season opened with a match against the Kansas Aggies. The Irish were unable to cope with the stellar golf exhibited by the Aggies. The second match was with Washburn. They won the match on the fourteenth green where they had the locals six down. On the following day the Aggies came to St. Mary’s for a return match. They were again victors but by a much closer score than in the first match on their own home course. Though the golfers got away to a bad start they are showing constant improvement and it is exacted that they will turn in some victories before the season is completed.

OentiU )SPKCTS for a winning tennis team were never brighter at St. Mary’s - than this season, when four veterans from last vear's squad answered the call early in the season. But the weatherman stepped in and delayed practice until late in the season and shattered all hopes of the team's reaching top form. Kven in the face of such misfortune the members of the squad rounded into fair shape and gave a good account of themselves during the little time left to play. Led by Captain Len Bares, the squad composed of Lcahigh, Hov and Stone of last year’s team, and Ileffernan, the most promising of the new material, developed into a formidable combination. Tennis is still in the experimental stages at St. Mary’s, but bids fair to become one of the most popular spring sports of the institution. Matches with Baker, Kansas Aggies, Washburn and other schools of the Conference were scheduled, but at the time of writing only one match had been played. Baker’s Conference favorites defeated the Irish in their first match, 2-1. Bares and Lcahigh represented the Saints, in both singles and doubles. Both have had Conference experience. With the close of this season, only one man will be lost to the team. Captain Bares, for three years a member of the team, will be graduated in June. All the other men have two or three years of competition left and with the experience gained in this season’s play should put St. Mary’s on the tennis map in seasons to come. The valuable work of Mr. Latchford as coach cannot be estimated in words but the knowledge gained of the court game under his direction should stand the members of this year’s team in good stead.

Mow many homes curtained a front window with that never-to-be-forgotten service flag, the red background, white field, and blue star! How many of these blue stars, as time wore on. were replaced by golden ones! How many a little gray haired mother did we see on the streets, garbed in a somber black, a service band on her arm. mourning often, the loss of her only son. Downcast and heart-broken she was. yes. but proud of her son. Another mother 'way out in Kansas, mother to many of those boys who poured out their life blood on the hills of France, had chosen to honor her sons. True there was the service flag dotted with the marine blue of the serving, and the gold of those who now served not in the list of the living. Yet this mother also, through the generosity of her Alumni, erected to the honor of her sons who served in the W ar. a memorial of love, an arch dedicated to her Alumni who had rushed eagerly forward on the first call for volunteers. Today the visitor at St. Mary's as he enters those sacred portals, stops to admire the classic beauty and rugged grandeur of the memorial arch. I le is struck with its impressiveness, and whilst he stands gazing upon it. wrapt in his own reflections, he finds himself reading the inscription. To the Sons of St. Mary’s College Who Served Their Country in the World War the Alumni have erected this Memorial. In this and in many other ways, with true mother love St. Mary’s has ever pursued her sons to honor those whom she delights to honor. She has chosen to show them that though many years have glided into the past since they left her. she still remembers them and watches and prays for them and theirs. Their success is her success, and in their difficulties they can always know that their Alma Mater remains a true mother to them. Kach November Alma Mater thoughtfully gathers together her students and faculty in the Immaculata. the hallowed chapel dedicated to the Mother of God, and there with the august sacrifice and the sacred ceremony of the Solemn High Mass of Requiem, she intercedes at the throne of the Most High that those of her students and professors who have gone before may rest in peace with God. Again, with what sentiments of tender gratitude does she not look upon those stanch friends and stalwart sons of hers who under the leadership of Mr. Thomas Walsh, then president of the Alumni Association, assembled the funds required to erect the beautiful structure known as Rodman Hall, whither St. Mary’s students will come for years to learn wisdom? Alma Mater does not forget them as she does not forget those Socialists and devoted clients of Mary who erected the Immaculata as an enduring memorial of their love for the Blessed Mother of God. Their memory and the memory of all her children and friends will ever beheld in benediction.

LOUIS MELTING In St. Louis some 125 members of that section of the Alumni Association gathered at the annual dinner meeting at the University Club on February 21. Rev. B. J. Rodman. S.J., in an eloquent presentation of the facts revealed the modern tendencies towards disrespect for authority and the resulting disregard for all law. Mr. Ray A. Graham followed him with an inspiring address in which he outlined the program during his administration. “With the union of former students and members of the faculty in the advancement of a common cause, a high standard in Catholic education. St. Mary’s College will have continued success. It is the duty of each and every member of the Association to lend a helping hand.” Knute Roekne, Coach at the University of Notre Dame, scored the “Misunderstanding” critic for his opposition to athletics.

Matthew Germing. S.J., provincial of the Missouri province, to fill this important position. It was while Father Shyne was in charge of the Sodality at St. Mary’s, that the idea of the Immaculata, which today expresses the very spirit and life of St. Mary’s, originated. The students of St. Mary’s take this occasion to extend to Father Shyne the heartiest congratulations on this appointment, and to wish him all success in his undertaking.

X E W X AT IO X A L 11E A DOC A R T E R S Another feature in the Xcw Alumni organization is the removal of the Alumni office from St. Mary's to Kansas City. The central location of Kansas City, its proximity to St. Mary's, and the added advantages offered by having the offices in a large city, are some of the reasons given for the change. The new offices are in charge of Mr. Frank Garry, Secretary of the Association. The number of the suite is -132 Rialto Building, Kansas City. Missouri. Any visiting Alumnus may rest assured of one spot of refuge, and that at 432 Rialto Building. Reverend Father Shvne and Mr. Garrv bid vou welcome. MR. FRANK A. GARRV Kansas City. Missouri Sccrctary-T rcasurcr THE ALUMXUS Through the untiring efforts of Father Shvne and Mr. Garry, the Alumni have been rewarded with an organ which would do credit to any organization in America. The Collegii Sanctae Mariae Alumnus” is published monthly. Its purpose is to bring each Alumnus into closer contact with his old class mates, and to provide a means for informing members of the Association of the work which is being carried on. There is much to Ik said in praise of the work which Father Shvne and Mr. Garry have done during their short time in office. However, there is nothing which gives stronger testimony to their zeal than the splendid issues of the Alumnus which have already brought new life into the Association.

E D v ar D i.hGRpN E Two of the Alumni, persuaded that the St. Mary’s environment Recording Secretary is the very tonic an earnest high school graduate needs most (luring his college training, have contributed a check for Five Thousand Dollars to begin a Scholarship Foundation for deserving students. These two men prefer to withhold their names. The only stipulations made by the donors arc that the boy must be recommended by his teacher of Latin and English and by the principal of his high school: that he must have a high school diploma: and that he must maintain an average of eighty-five per cent or over in all his subjects during his four years at College. This is just the opportunity which many a high school graduate needs. And it is to the generosity of such men as these two Alumni, that many a leader in the world today owes his start. One Hundred Seventy-five CLASS OF 1910 SCHOLARSHIP The Class of 1910 has long ago adopted a very effective method of helping in the good work of higher education. Annually they send a check in payment of a scholarship ior a student of St. Mary's College. The class of 1910 is to Ik- congratulated on this generous project. Should not the example set by this class be followed by other classes? There is no better way of showing one's interest in education and one's love of his Alma Mater. SPEAKING ABOUT CORN BREAD An Alumnus of 1904, during the epoch-making rabbit hunt, happened lo pay a visit to the department o’er which Tom Goodal holds sway. He recognized the old range which had been in use twenty-two years before and. smiling, said to Tom. There are better ranges in the market today, Tom. How would you like to have one? Tom’s only answer was his happy, swiftly enchanting smile. And the answer to that smile is a new $3,000.00 range. RT. RF.V. MONSIC.NOR FRANCIS M. ORR. AM.. L.L.D. It was with joy that St Mary's received the news that another of her loyal sons had received the honors well deserved. Rt. Rev. Monsignor Francis M. Orr, received his A.B. at St. Mary's in 1898. During his years spent as a student at St. Mary's, he distinguished himself as a public speaker and as a writers. He competed in the oratorical contest of 97. delivering his oration The Perils of the State, in which he vigorously denounced the political corruption of the day. He was also a member of the Dial staff, during his years at St. Mary's. Later in 1919 he received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from St. Mary’s. At present he is building a $225,000.00 stone Church for St. Peter’s parish. Kansas City. Kansas, over which he presides as pastor. The announcement of his appointment as domestic prelate of the household of Pope Pius XI with the title of Monsignor was made. March 11. 1927.

Besides securing the proverbial “KKC they also planned a big rabbit hunt and offered substantial prizes for the game caught. O n IIundred I. igitty The day was really a great one for all the students. Immediately after breakfast everyone slid into his hiking togs, secured a good stout stick and proceeded to give Mr. Cottontail a merry chase. From all appearances many of the fellows had plenty of spending money for some time after. One Hundred Eighty-one One Hundred Eighty-two The Texas hoys keep from getting homesick by spending a few hours in the saddle from time to time. Evidently “Scjuirrelly” and “Ick” were out this day on forbidden ground. They didn’t say whether they met anyone coming in. Waiting for dinner seems to be an enjoyable pass time from the appearance of this crowd. One nndred Eighty-three m- I .oyola Hall isn’t such a bad place to live. Some of the fellows are truly good entertainers. 1'r. Berens does all in his power to make things run smoothly. It isn’t all fun. however, for Scanlon seems to have a difficult assignment staring him in the face. While Kav—well, he was just posing. On, Hundred Eighty-four The Junior Division seems to be having a big game. Eight Ball’’and Lea hey probably had an argument over the decision of this play, while no doubt a “homer was forthcoming from this substantial swatter. The game was not without an abundance of fans. One Hundred Eighty-five ■ V '------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On, Hundred Eighty-six Mr. Koppcs always extends the boys a hearty welcome when they visit the town. Manion and Hi sett are most likely going to make a call at the Victory, while Davey and McNallen will probably be close on their heels. Tom and his “buddies” had some shopping to do. also.

I le screwed up his face, And tried to say grace, And blew his false teeth in the butta. “Jeetyet?” “No, jew?” “Yup.” Evathin’?” “Hesh.” “Wha-jeet ?” “Evathin'.” “Wha-jatnean— “Stubborn?” inquired the man from Kentucky.

Mac? Didn’t you pass?” Mac: “Say. bo. 1 passed so well I was encored and now 1 have to do it all over again.” “This gives me a pain in the neck.” said the victim, as he mounted the scaffold.

Customer: “May I have my egg order changed to scrambled?” Waiter (ex-football star): “Signals over, break up the play. Doctor: “Congratulations, governor, you’re the father of triplets.” Governor: “I demand a recount.” WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS? I quit singing with the choir when they found out what was the matter with it. I le: “Would you paint a portrait of my late uncle. ” Him: “Bring him in.” I le: “I said my late uncle.” I Iim: “Well, bring him in when he gets here.”—Ex. Speak: “Can I—or rather—may I borrow your green and yellow tic?” Easy: “Sure: but why the formality?” Speak: “I can’t find it.”—Ex. McXamar: “Why. in my town it takes fifteen minutes to walk around the railroad station.” Wise Fellah: “Yeah—how many times?” An optimist is a guy that takes two pens to an exam. Will wonders never cease? Ye editor actually saw a Junior wearing all his own clothes to the Prom. Bill: “Why do they call her Dot?” Harrv: “She’s always trying to polka head into other people’s affairs.” OX THE FOURTH FLOOR ANNEX “Are you using your cap this afternoon?” “Yeh. why?” “Then you won’t mind lending me your hat.” If you are a Nut Sundae, you are probably a nut. Monday, too. . . . Laff that off! Treasurer: “If you want to cash this check you'll have to endorse it.” Luke: “What do you mean, endorse it?” The Treasurer explained the matter. But Luke taking pen and ink wrote on the hack of the check: “To Luke from Mother.” “There’s something big on foot.” said Hughes as he watched Doc Hayes go into the shop of the chiropodist.
