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. Page Fifty

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

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
