Mr. John Gysbers CC=he College Library A good library is a necessary adjunct to every educational institution. To obtain the desired ends of education the daily class lecture's in a college must la supplemented by continual reference and research work in the school library. To permit students to do properly the reference work which our stringent educational standards necessitate, two things are essential. The college must have an adequate library conveniently accessible; and the student himself must be given the necessary knowledge to enable him to make an intelligent use of that library. Johnson said that knowledge is of two kinds: “we know a subject ourselves or we know where we can find information upon it.” A little instruction in the principles of bibliography and the use of the library catalogue will soon enable a student to use the library to good advantage and where the instruction is given in conjunction with the regular school curriculum, the wish of Kmerson has been somewhat realized when he advocated a professorship of books in every college. St. Xorbert s library dates back to the very first years of the college’s existence. It marks its modest beginning when twelve students from the literature class went down to Green Bay. and each purchased a book to be donated to the college library. Appeals were sent out to several parish priests and soon the collection began to grow. The faculty library in the priory was until recently distinct from the general library. Two years ago the entire faculty and departmental libraries of the school were combined into what is now the general library. The library occupies one half of the first floor of Boyle Hall. No effort has been spared to make every thing conducive to study and pleasant reading. The windows are large and admit of sufficient light and sun to impart that cheerfulness so desirable in a reading room. The stacks are of tin very latest type, of steel construction, and of seven sections of seven double compartments each. The interior decorations are carried out in a pleasing and restful shade of white and large massive chandeliers give that indirect reflection of light known to be the best for library use. The books are catalogued according to the well known Dewey Decimal Classification system which is employed in the majority of public and college libraries in tin country. Our library is a member of the American Library Association and receives its periodicals and announcements. The form of catalogue used is the dictionary which is the form generally found in libraries because it is the most easily understood and consulted. Students are allowed access to almost every department and special permission can be obtained from the librarian or his delegated assistant to enter any section whenever it is deemed necessary. In the matter of discipline an honor system prevails and every patron is made to understand that he must respect his neighbor’s rights by maintaining silence. A library attendant supervises the general order but an effort is made to make each student feel his individual responsibility. Several of the departments have attained a remarkable development. The collection of patrology or writings of the Church Fathers is one which any library might envy. The famous Aligne edition of the Church Fathers in Latin and Greek, consisting of almost 400 volumes is worthy of mention. Besides this the collection numbers several volumes of translations and a few sets of the Ante Xicene and Post Xicene Fathers in English. The department of Theology boasts of several valuable sets. Tin complete works of St. Thomas translated by the Dominicans from the leonine edition and also a large set of his works in Latin are available. In addition to these there are all the writings and treatises of the Page Twenty-One great Church theologians such as: Albert us Magnus. Bcllarmine, Don Scot us. Suarez, etc. Doth the field of dogmatic and moral theology is adequately represented. The section on devotional religion and homiletics is standard and it has several large sets of Church History in Knglish and French. The Acts of the Holy Sec and Bodies of Canon Haw are also here. Its Literature section is one of the finest and includes works, not only in Knglish. hut also many of the classics in French and Herman. The Knglish section lias been carefully selected so that it now contains sufficient material for any advanced course, and besides the classics themselve it has all necessary histories of literature, biographical and critical works, concordances and various kinds of dictionaries. Such standard works as the Cambridge History of Knglish and American Literature. Court-hope's History of Boetry and the Knglish Men of Letters Series may be found on its shelves, 'these are supplemented by a special library of the Everyman series of about :J0() volumes. The French and Herman section, while fairly represented have room for expansion. Ktforts are made, not only to obtain the works of literatim in Knglish which time has declared to be classics but as far a possible to keep up with contemporary works which present literary criticism declares worth while. Latin and (creek authors are all in the classics department and the editions represent the efforts of some of the foremost classical scholars of the world. Besides this there is sufficient material for a rich background for the study of the subject. The library subscribes to many of the current literary, classical and scientific magazines as well as several news journals and bound volumes are available. A notable collection of post incunabula forms a special section and standard works of reference are to be had. Although the library has attained a remarkable development it recognizes several important needs, such as funds for expansion in its scientific section, for furniture, equipment, etc. The aim of the school has been to provide a library which would keep pace with the progress which the college his manifested in every other phase of growth. -C.

West De Pero, Wis. Coming to St. Norbert’s as a mere youth, “Harold’s winning personality soon endeared him to every one with whom he came in contact. He was a star guard on Coach Carey's “Wonder Machine” for his two-hundred pounds of solid bone and muscle together with ability uncommon in so heavy a man enabled him to crash through his opponents’ strongest defense like an infuriated giant and make openings through which his mates made touchdowns. On defense to them he proved to be an impregnable buttress. Besides being an athlete he was also a model student excelling in all branches of student endeavor. It was a typical sight to see him being interviewed by lower classmen on difficulties in Caesar, Vergil or Cicero; for he dreaded not (as most students do) the evils that lurk therein. Harold is also a criterion in Physics and Chemistry. Philosophy with its many dreaded branches, offered no obstacles to him, for by earnest and diligent application he soon made a mark for himself in that field where eventually he will some day dominate as a teacher. Keep at it, Big Boy” we’re all with you. The Lord divides and distributes talents among his creatures in accordance with His Will, and when he numbered perseverence among those given to “Martin” he gave him a priceless gift. Without it no man can hope to gain success. Everything he undertakes soon bows to his hand because he is, above all, a stick-to-it, never-give-up student who puts all he has into what ho does, determined to win. His sincerity and tireless incessant effort herald a fruitful future. Already they have won for him the admiration and esteem of the faculty and of his fellow classmen. Although of a somewhat serious disposition he has always shown keenest appreciation for a good joke or a burst of humor. After joining the order of St. Norbert he became thoroughly attached to philosophy, and especially to psychology. He is able to penetrate externals to the internal hidden things and has all those traits which tend toward the further development of most useful psychoanalytical powers. May sure success attend him. Page Twenty-Five COLLEGE SENIORS Denmark. Wisconsin Two Rivers, Wisconsin At last you have come face to face with scholarship personified in the person of our modest Camille. He took no part in athletics but was, however, one of our outstanding intellectual beacons. In the classroom he was a born leader, for his mental abilities seemed to surpass those of his fellow colleagues. Yet, for every reason there is a cause, anti the cause of this youth’s distinctive rating was study. He applied his mind to whatever he might have been doing with the deepest concentration. His mirthful disposition won for him the admiration of every student and teacher. Besides applying himself faithfully to study, he also devoted much of his time in perfecting the library. He held the responsible position of assistant college librarian for several years; was advertising manager of the “Des Peres” for two years besides being an officer of several of the college organizations. We arc all with you, Camille, and we are sure that your magnetic personality and presence will be as keenly felt in the field of your chosen endeavor as it was here. For you no success can be too great or no obstacle too high, for your spirit is unconquerable. Everybody loves to see a good game, well played, and everybody, who is anybody, loves a good player; and what the best in anybody any one naturally loves is sure to be right. “Hank” vividly portrays such a player, for he is a true sportsman in whatever game he plays and he enters into that game with heart and soul. Perhaps “Hank’s” greatest contribution to St. Norbert’s is that which he rendered as announcer par excellence for WHBY, St. Norbert’s super radio station. His deep-toned, mellow voice and witty turn of mind proved a source of constant delight to radio fans. His famed, “Here we go folks” helped to arouse local interest in radio activities and to make one of St. Norbert’s greatest projects a decided success. “Hank’s” versatility, however, was not confined to radio alone, for during his college days he has held offices in the several societies; has been a member of the Des Peres stafr for four years; cheerleader; and a member of the band and orchestra. He is a master in parliamentary procedure, a powerful debater, and a model in the art of public delivery. Page Ticen DEI PEREZ GEORGE BETH. A. B. “ fed Two Rivers. Wisconsin ‘‘Red ’ one of our most popular lads, because of his sunshine personality and athletic ability, will undoubtedly be more keenly missed than any other graduate. Esteemed by both the faculty ami the student body, he was a most powerful mediator in the construction of school spirit. He leaves an athletic record second to none; veteran service on the varsity basketball squad, two years, captain and two years manager; manager of St. Norbert’s most illustrious football team in the season of ’25. Under his direction the first attempt at intramural sports at St. Norbert’s proved a decided success. Not only in school was he popular, but also with the athletic fans of the Fox River Valley, who had “Chubby” listed as one of the cleanest and most sportsmanlike athletes in this section. A genius in the class room, a friend on the campus, an idol to all, was he. So we leave him, and may his future, rooted in the records of his past, grow mighty, strong and most fruitful. HENRY B. HUBERT. A. B. ”Hienie Wabeno, Wis. “Ilienie” is a refutation of that fallacy that it is impossible to combine scholarship and popularity. His records in the classroom were equaled only by his afi'a-bility and unusual humor manifested on every occasion. His love of mischief asserted itself exteriorly in every form from “French Sheets” to tied pajamas and if any one chanced to find him smiling, invariably everyone in the dormitory inspected their beds and lockers. But this life of fun was only the reflection of a happy life and truly it might be said that “the little grey imp of laughter, laughed in the soul of him.” It was inevitable that one in whom was combined so much literary ability and business sense should be chosen as editor of “Des Peres” and that he should retain that position for two years, editing4 the two best annuals the college has published. For three years he was also president of the C. S. M. C., and to him we are indebted for the piloting of that organization during its embryonic stage until flourishing, it has taken its place among the best of the college societies. His vocal talent was called into requisition for broadcasting and by the societies’ weekly programs. In scholarship he was leader in his classes, in ability among the first, and in popularity first in the hearts of all of us. Twenty.Seven = 3 DEi PERE.T COLLEGE TIMOTHY KEEFE, A. B. Paul West Do Fere, WIs. Paul can be truly deemed “A Specialist in the philosophy of harmless mischief.’' He is of small stature but this, although limiting his athletic prowess, proved a decided asset in his favor for it enabled him to escape untouched after indulging in his innumerable pranks upon classmates. Most of the things in this world were too somber and real for Paul and his greatest delight was to soften and brighten them with the rays of his individuality. He displayed this aspect of his value by his devotion to verse and by his admiration and love of music. He could write good verse on any conceivable subject and the gems of his pen were much sought after by the editors of the “Des Peres” and eventually many of his works found their way into that noteworthy publication. For several years he has fought his way through trials and tribulations, and although at times he suffered the ordinary penances resulting from innocent pranks, yet he passed through them all safely and now, on the threshold of his entrance into the ecclesiastical world, we find him moulded into a firm set, lovable and capable young man. SENIORS DENNIS BURKE. A. B. •Maurice West De Pere, Wis. “Maurice has been well christened by one of his instructors “Seven Feet of Ireland.” He merits this appellation not only because of his extremely extensive stature but because in him are embodied all the happy characteristics of the Irish people. Though quiet and unassuming he has become by virtue of position and personality well known and well liked. He was always congenial, sympathetic, and ever displayed a desire to join with others either in work or in frolic. Because of his strong affinity for the beauties of nature he usually spent most of his spare time strolling about taking pictures. H e is possessed of an uncommon persistency that has kept him busy in a widely varied field of endeavor. Someone once said of “Maurice” that he was as steady as a church spire, but this is not correct; church spires have been known to blow down or topple over, but not so with “Maurice.” He is just as level headed and steady as the day is long, and when you add to this an inexpressible fund of wholesome good humor and incurable optimism you have a thumbnail sketch of one of St. Norbert's most likeable personalities.

Beemster, Cyril H. Miron, Theodore J. Van Der Loop, Phillip G. Gamache. OUR FRATERS In common estimation, the dignity of a man is reckoned by the character of the office he fills or the duties entrusted to him. Judged by this standard, no worldly dignity can compare with that of the priesthood, whose authority comes from God, and whose powers transcending earth, reach back to heaven. “Speak not of the royal purple,” says St. Chrysostom, “of diadems, of golden vestments—these are but shadows, frailer than the flowers of spring, compared to the power and privileges of the priesthood.” Still, it is probably true that the great majority of religious men are found in the classroom and this for the good and sufficient reason that Christian education is the paramount need of the day, and is the work on which the future of the Church chiefly depends. These future professors of St. Norbert’s command the respect and deference of the community, and to them the public will look for the solution of the constantly arising civic and social problems. They are to be regarded as the natural leaders of thought, and are expected to guide and direct popular movements affecting the well-being of society. Such public esteem is extended in due proportion to all who are engaged in education for it is universally realized that the standard of morality and intelligence, which is to be obtained in the commonwealth will depend largely on the training given to the young. The teacher is directly employed in the making of good citizens, which is more important than the extension of manufactures or commerce. He is setting the ideals according to which the Republic must stand or fall. Page Thirty DES PEREi t=f Top row: J. Champa, A. Schmitz, A. Gerrits, J. McGarvey, S. Engels, P. Schroeder, F. Jacobs, J.

They joined the ranks of the Collegians from all directions,—from Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, and even from the fertile fields of N’orth Dakota. The fact that college students come from homes hundreds of miles distant to enjoy the educational facilities offered by St. Norbert’s, shows in a marked degree, its rising popularity. Our prospects for the coming year are still brighter. The students displaying a noted improvement in their spirit of loyalty to St. Norbert’s have acquired a splendid reputation. The results of this high standard are already forthcoming. The standard, both educational and athletic, has been boosted step by step up the ladder of fame, until to-day she stands a peer among peers. In athletics her growth has been exceptionally rapid. On the gridiron the loyal wearers of the green and white fought as only they knew how, through the toughest season they ever faced, and made their own St. Norbert’s the “Little Notre Dame of the Mid-West.” Many a time, when a galling defeat seemed inevitable, it was that unconquerable spirit that made possible a thrilling and timely play, transforming a sure defeat into a wave of victory. It is that spirit inherent in the college men that strikes admiration into the hearts of all who come within its sphere; it is that spirit that is bringing nearer to a reality the old alumni slogan, “A Greater St. Norbert’s.” This spirit manifested itself, not only in stirring gridiron games, but also in the classroom.

OI K COLLEGIANS otherwise, seemingly insurmountable in their magnitude, were attacked and overcome. The kind, friendly feeling and the harmony existing between faculty and student can be likened only to a huge, powerful, frictionless machine; powerful because of true cooperation—the basis of success. Every student of St. Norbert’s, by patient and diligent study, will in the end reach the much sought after goal and the success that it represents. The college department, like any other, has its luminaries. You have heard or read of the majesty of Webster, the power of Tom Corwin, who could hold the mob in his right hand, and of the magnetism of Henry Clay that could melt a thousand hearts into one. We have all that here in our College department moulded, directed and trained under the guiding and masterful leadership of our instructors. There are Henry Schmitt and John Cashman, who can give you fact and argument painted in all the flowery beauties of eloquence. Such men as “Red Beth,” Schroeder and Schwalbach have earned for themselves names in the athletic records of the school, second to none. There is Cletus Collum, radio operator and builder par excellence. I could go on naming dozens of them, but it is sufficient to say that here at St. Norbert’s is the entire diapason of versatility from Paderewski and Caruso to O’Connell and Demosthenes. It took seven centuries to produce a Cedar of I ebanon fit to adorn the temple of Solomon. It took the best blood and the fighting spirit of the ages to produce these men—the pride, the glory, the hope of St. Norbert’s. In June eight of these men go forth from the sacred walls of our institution to take their role in the game of life. When they go into action, St. Norbert’s stands at attention, secure in the knowledge that they will avail themselves of what they have learned here. With the passage of time they will be forgotten, but they will never forget. Page Thirtfh Top row: E. Kersten, N. Vander Zanden, R. Marcotte, S. Linzmeyer, E. Martin, B. Smith, F. Hodek, C. Hill, H.

This is a group of intellectual beings, but think not for a moment that this quality hinders them from being a fun-loving bunch of good sports. It seems that they have a monopoly on all the activities of our school. And it is evident that the future of these bright lights of St Norbert's is far from being blank. In the classroom there are stars that shine out resplendently, such as “Shorty” Marcotte, “Bud” Linzmeyer, and “Freddie” LeMieux, noted for their masterful translations of the Greek and Roman authors. The athletes of this illustrious class are not few. Their names, were they entered here, would fill a mighty volume. Among those of highest rank are “Hank” Everson, Emmey Flatley, and “Nubs” Christman, gridiron stars. On the basketball court “Warhorse Charley” Hill, “Porkey” Charles, Paul Hessel, Dernbach, Kobes, and Waukechon. the fighting warrior, reign supreme. Not only on the gridiron, the court, or the diamond, was that spirit prevalent with which they fought like demons for their class, but also in school where they worked and studied, not every man for himself, but as a body working in unison, for the honor and glory of their future Alma Mater. I et us hope that in the ensuing year they will step in with that same spirit and fill the vacancies left by the Seniors, and be a credit to their school. Then the class of 27 can truthfully say they did their bit for S. N. C. ' • Thirtf Xhu Top row: R. Van Gheem, J. Karnofsky, P. Montavon, L. Hendricks, R. Van Dyke, S. Kupecky, N. Vander Pas, A.

Think not that these appearances are deceiving, for here is represented talent by such artists as “Archie” Holzbauer, “Nick” Vander Pas, and Paul Montavon; wit by bright Kirby McKee, and the gloom dispeller Henry Hietpas; humor by either “Bill” Butler with his entrancing smile, by “Irish” Killeen, or by “Ray” Van Dyke; ambition in “Shakespeare” Jolin, and “Doc” Newkirk, the masterful impersonator of Lincoln; soul-stirring music from the rapid-fire fingers of Karnofsky; and future perfection in studious John Kern and diligent Frank Dupont. The “Solomon” aspect in the faces of these youths is perhaps due to their faithful application while accompanying Caesar on his masterful exploits, or while roaming about in Greece and wondering what it is all about; also in living again the great events of medieval history, or in trying to fathom the depths of geometry; likewise in studying the famous Brutus and Anthony, perhaps to imitate them in oratory as future expounders of law, or as politicians. In the athletic realm stand “Judge” Ryan, “Casco” Smithwick, “Chief” Wausakokamich and “Al” Stemper, who will in later years form the nucleus of St. Norbert’s representatives in the sport world.

FRESHMAN ACADEMICS When in September the portals of St. Norbert’s were opened once again, there came from the cities and fields of Wisconsin, from the sandy wastes and vast forests of Michigan, in fact from all over, a multitude of boys who sought entrance to our institution. Youths they were with merry high-pitched voices, their breasts swelling with the pride of going away to college. Soon they were enveloped in the crowds, the veritable torrents of rushing students within the massive walls. A noisy and cheery group they were until the somber shade of night stole over the horizon and transformed the terrestrial sphere into a black mass. Twas then that longings arose, and more than one “Freshie missed his mother’s “good-night kiss. Wails and cries arose, but the morning’s sunshine soon dried the tears, and their woes were forgotten, although the “Sophs did all they could to irritate the lonesome children. But those days are passed, and we have here a group of young men with Wisdom knocking at their doors, a crowd of boys suddenly transformed into intellectual beings. After gazing at their beaming countenances, we no doubt wonder if there is a future President, a Napoleon, or an Edison among them. Represented here is musical talent in the persons of Horton Roe and the members of the Junior Quartette; athletic ability in George Kenote, “Fat Loehr, “Fat Walter, and “Bill Stemper; also in “Snare Luccasen, Gerald Verstegen, and “Bucky Bauer, tars of the Minims. There are scholarly youths too, such as J. Fox, E. Diny, and Ed. VanderBoom. Noted for their “wisecracking capabilities are Brooks Finney and “Dreams” Esser. There, dear reader, is the foundation on which is being built the structure of the class of ’29. Fort if One Standing: D. Greenwood, B. Schroeder, A. Boncher, C. VanGemert, E. Foxgrover. N.

OUR COMMERCIALS Aside from the classical is the commercial department, a distinct and very important section of our school. It is in this department that the character and mind of our future business men are moulded. “Siki” McAbee, the Irish Comedian, after having received a Commercial diploma returned and took up post graduate work. His exceedingly humorous wisecracks helped immeasurably to while away the otherwise dignified and reserved hours of a business course. Unlike Mahomet, Siki didn’t have to go looking for work. One morning he received a call to look over a position; he looked it over, and now he is industriously helping to turn the wheels of progress. In the fall of 11)24 two exceedingly small boys entered the commercial department of St. Norbert’s from the bleak sandy wastes of Bay Settlement, “Noi'b.” and “Del.” Greenwood. Since their coming they have made themselves very conspicuous among the juniors. Both were members of Junior League teams and were high class performers on the basket ball courts. C. Van Gemert, a familiar figure on the campus captained the highly touted Fairy team, one of the most feared teams in the major basketball leagues. Other men in the Commercial department who have made themselves conspicuous are Johnny Fleck as our baritone singer and Eddie Foxgrover as a member of our “Peppy Collegians.” Poor Fortyl 1 J A man saih unto his Angel: spirits are fallen lulu.

St. Xorberts began early in September, the arduous task of moulding together another championship machine. Coach Carey’s indefinite absence caused many grave doubts among the students and supporters but the eleventh hour appointment of Mr. George “Abie” Abramson, star tackle of the 1!) 24 Gopher eleven, was met with wholehearted approval by even the most skeptic. A glance at the scores indicate how highly justified was the trust placed in .Mr. Abramson. We will never tire of singing his praises. St. Xorbert’s was facing the hardest schedule of gridiron endeavour in her young, meteoric career. Defeat meant disgrace, and only too true, perhaps, a premature death.but she didn’t fail. She triumphed over Stevens Point in the opening game, revealing a dynamic driving power behind the line. “The Green Wave” against Ripon enveloped and drowned the Southern Wisconsin college in a flood of touchdowns. Xorthwestern fell next, before the aroused Juggernaut’s glorious advance. For the second and last time of the season, tin “Team” performed on the Collegiate gridiron with the powerful, well-drilled De Paul eleven at the opposite end of the field. Of course. De Paul was washed away. Yet the Wave ended in a ripple for St. Xorberts bowed before the strong St. Mary's team which earlier in the season, had forced Marquette University to fight most desperately for two lonely touchdowns. After an enforced idleness of two weeks the “Juggernauts” rolled down to Delafield a: d lost to tin Cadets, from St. John’s. The indomitable courage and true sportsmanship of the “Green Juggernaut ” even in the face of the most hitter and overwhelming odds are the guiding factors both off and on the field. Although her record was slightly tarnished, many teams there are who envy her reputation as a living, flesh and blood advocate of all that is clean, not only in athletics, not only in the classroom, not only on the campus, hut also in her alumni out in the world. It is the priceless heritage of all St. Xorbert's students. 3EJ PEKE.T FOOTBALL CAPTAIN “PUDA” SCHROEDER The fighting spirit of the Juggernaut may be directly traced to its fiery leader “Puda.” When the line was weakening it was the impetuous “Puda” who slapped the linemen encouragingly on the back and made them brace up; when the backfield was off form or the punting was poor it was “Puda’s” peppy talk that reassured and cheered up the ball carriers. We dare not think of the team without “Puda’s” magnetic personality. One thing is certain, without him the Juggernaut would never have displayed the dash that so characterized her games. oaeh ... aptain .

Malone” Right Guard St. Norbert’s 7 Stevens Point 0 Mr. Carey’s absence delayed the initial football practice until barely two weeks before the ‘‘Point” game. Having been selected for his unlimited capabilities, as coach, Mr. Abramson feverishly began working to build up an imposing and dependable battle front and unearth some reliable ball-carriers and consistent ground-gainers. The eve of the game found a satisfied Mr. Abramson oiling up the wheels of the ‘‘Juggernaut.” Saturday came, so did a heavy shower. Schumacher opened hostilities, and brought the thrill-loving fans to their feet, with a beautiful kick-off. Up-up the new pigskin soared, seeming to pause for a moment then swiftly nosed down into the arms of Boone, the Normal’s Right End The “Point” attack had originally been planned through the “Collegiate” line but three fruitless attempts forced the Normalites to reluctantly kick. The “Green Wave” assembled, tightened, and—crash—bang—bang—“Blackjack” Malevich had made first down. During this half the ball changed hands on numerous occasions. The midway whistle found St. Norberts holding a comfortable lead in yardage. Then too, Malevich’s kicks outdistanced those of the Normal punter Pauckert. This advantage most probably saved the game since running the ends was accompanied by much hazard resulting from large quantities of mud and water, dotting the field at inconvenient places. Between halves Coach Abramson rounded up the Collegians and pointed out various flaws. The second half found the “Juggernaut” in better condition. Shortly after the whistle announced a resuming of play, the Collegians began to force the teachers back, with a singleness of purpose and with a persistence that was to be measured only by a touchdown. First five yards were added, then two, then five, and the ball began to flirt most dangerously with the Normal goal line. Champa, Green clad Quarterback, called for a “Perfection Pass,” by Malevich, Campshure, and Company, sole distributors. “Blackjack” obeyed orders and shot a lightning thrust to his partner. Elmer, darted down the field, shot up into the weeping ozone, snatched the “leather” from an opponent, and continued on his zigzagging course side-stepping several teachers and finally scampered over the last chalk-marked line for the only score. Once again we kicked off. The “Juggernaut” had evidently begun to function properly because a few minutes of play found the ball again in our hands and once more being slowly but certainly advanced with an almost fatal obstinacy around, through, and over the Normal scrimmage line. The “Juggernaut” was lining up for the last dash goalward when the closing whistle unwelcomely, and dully sounded through the damp atmosphere. Mr. Abramson grinned—a huge satisfied grin. Page DEI PEREI vBsm St. Norbert’s 35 Ripon 7 On the following Saturday, October 3, the “Juggernaut” wheeled south as far a Ripon College and thoroughly drenched that institution, ignominiously perhaps, in a deluge of touchdowns. At the final whistle all Ripon had left was a field “where heaved the turf in many a mouldering heap.” St. Norbert’s had the decision, and also Ripon’s reputation. Whatever the score may indicate, rest assured it was neither a tea party nor a Ladies’ Aid Meeting. Captain Schroeder repeated his previous Saturday’s feat by again winning the toss. After dramatically scattering a few tufts of grass in the breeze, he chose to defend the east goal. Schumacher booted the ball over the goal line, so Ripon took it out 20 yards. On the second down he punted to Champa who returned it to the midfield. After a fruitless attempt at the heavy crimson line the ball changed hands again on a punt. Hauser, giant crimson tackle, poorly kicked the oval. The “Juggernaut” took possession of the pigskin on her 40 yard line. “Blackjack” Malevich passed to Deloria who personally escorted the precious burden over the goal line for the first score. Schumacher added another point. Ripon kicked off to Roemer. He was stopped on the •0 Yd. line. On a beautiful, weaving cross-buck, “Whirley” Werley contributed lb Yds. Champa requested another pass. Malevich sent the ball to Deloria. That gentleman lost no time in getting across the goal line. At the beginning of the second quarter “Blackjack” again threw the ball. This time to Champa, resulting in a 15 yd. gain. Another pass to Fox placed the ball on the 1 yd. line. Malevich put it where it belonged. St. Norbert’s was now leading 20-0. The roar from the ‘‘Green and White” side-line was deafening but mighty encouraging. Ripon’s supporters were dazed and chagrined at their team’s helplessness. Towards the end of this second ■ jurter Ripon revealed, to the public gaze, a short but successful passing attack which in four plays covered 50 yds. for a score. The goal was added. The half end'd with the ball in the “Juggernaut’s” hands on the Crimson 30 yd. line. The “Juggernaut” came out with a rush when the second half started. Ripon kicked off. The Green team failed to make their down so they punted. Ripon tried a long pass but Champa happened to be in the way. He solved matters by traveling 60 yd-, through the entire crimson line but he was called back, a Ripon warrior had been off-side. The last few minutes of this quarter found St. Norbert’s behind, as far as yardage was concerned. The final period aroused the “Juggernaut” and she began marching down the field, passing, skirting ends, and through the heavy crimson line. Schumacher “hooked” a pretty “floater,” from Blackjack and scored. Three minutes later, for diversion’s sake, Shumacher added a well-executed, 40 yd., field goal from an exceedingly difficult angle. The game had lost its flavor for the “Juggernaut” and -he gladly welcomed the whistle. Fifty-Three St. Norbert’s 7 St. Mary’s 20 October 17, found the restless “Juggernaut” at Winona. St. Mary’s won by a 13 point margin but her players will never forget the terrific struggle put up by the “Juggernaut.” When speaking of super ball-carrying, Our “Green and White” quarterback Champa, gave not only the spectators but also the crimson opposition something to talk about for many a day after the fight. Captain Schroeder continued his freakish luck by guessing that the goddess of Liberty would turn up—she landed on her back and gazed straight into his eyes. Since the gridiron was almost entirely covered with sand, cap’n couldn’t toss any grass in the air to see which way the wind was “breathing,” he decided to make sure so he commanded Schumacher to kick off. After two plays, Libera of St. Mary's, booted a 55 yd. spiral to Champa. On the first play St. Mary's recovered a fumble by Schumacher. In three drives totaling 20 yds. the crimson backs had reached the goal and scored. St. Marys kicked off over the goal line so it was our ball on the 20 yd. line. Werley missed the porkless pigskin and again St. Marys recovered. On their second down they tried a pass which Lackner, giant “Juggernaut” center intercepted. Aftei failing to advance the ball Fox tried a punt which was blocked by Dolan, crimson back. That same gentleman recovered the ball and put it where it belonged, for 6 more points . In the second period, Malevich and Schumacher, by a series of passes, advanced the ball to St. Mary’s 40 yd. line. Schumacher tried a field goal but missed the crosspiece by inches. St. Mary’s began a consistent march which was stubbornly resisted and finally stopped on the “Green and White” 25 yd. line, by a superhuman stiffening of the “Juggernaut” forward wall. The half ended with St. Marys holding the ball on her own 40 yd. line. The second half opened with St. Marys kicking off to our goal line. Then Champa electrified the spectators by a brilliant run of 90 yds. sifting through the entire crimson line. He was downed on St. Mary’s 10 yd. line. Here a try at the line failed, then followed two incomplete passes. Malevich was forced to kick. St. Marys uncorked a dazzling overhead attack that ended behind the “Green and White” goal line. The last quarter found the “Juggernaut” raving and ferocious. Pass after pass was completed. Finally Campshure grabbed one and slid across the line. We had gained 65 yds. by the aerial route. St. Marys, fearing the fatal accuracy of Malevich’s passes, became desperate and resorted completely to pounding the “Green and White” line. Our boys held up very creditably under the terrific bombardment. Summoning the last ounce of fight left, the “Juggernaut” begain skirting the. Crimson ends with a success that was possible only because of its sheer desperateness, but the rally came too late. The whistle pierced the air as the ball rested on the 36 yd. line with its nose towards the Winona’s goal. St. Norbert’s 12 Northwestern 0 On the rainy, cloudy, morning of October 26 the “Juggernaut” slipped and skidded its way down to Watertown. There was plenty of water in this particular town on this particular day. A bitter wind lashed the innocent raindrops about the field, as the players lined up. Water polo would have been more suited to the field than football. Cap’n guessed right again and he decided to receive. Three attempts at the ‘watery town” line were futile so Blackjack punted. Northwestern fumbled on her second down. Lackner, portly center of the “Juggernaut”, recovered the muddy “pig’s .-kin.” During the first period both teams seemed reluctant to stage an offensive. Bretzmann, Northwestern’s fullback, half sliding, half running, lugged the “bag of wind” for fifteen yards. The quarter was over and neither team had scored. Early in the second period Schumacher endeavored a place kick but the ball fell short by several yards. The ball changed hands several times when Northwestern suddenly dug her cleats in and made two successive first downs. Cap’n “Puda” was injured in the rush and “Whirley” Werley went in at tackle. Northwestern directed her attack at the line but the veteran Schwalback remained obdurately in the way and stubbornly resisted their advance. Just before the half-time whistle sounded, Masse, “Green and White” guard, recovered a Watertown fumble. Before the “Juggernaut” could line up the half had ended. Like a spoiled child, Blackjack wanted to play with the ball himself so in the third quarter he grabbed the “Slimy pig” and dashed through the opposing line for -ome long gains. On the next play Schumacher passed the ball to Champa, for forty yards. It was a really brilliant catch, in the face of a driving rain. Another hurl from Blackjack to Fox scored a touchdown. Tommy couldn’t make it with his feet so he plunged headlong and slid across the line two yards ahead of his nearest rival. On the kick-otT Northwestern became enraged. They made three first downs in rapid -uccession. Their rush was quietened before they had reached the danger zone. Northwestern opened the last period with a desperate passing game. When St. Norberts got her turn, with the ball, Blackjack hustled around right end for thirty yards. Shortly after, Schumacher threw a pass to Champa and that gentleman dashed over for another score. Once more the “Juggernaut” was lining up as the whistle sounded the end. Ftfty Fivr St. Norbert’s 10 I)e Paul 7 Dear Reader, maybe you have been present at the election of a mayor, or eavesdropped at a boisterous cabinet meeting in Versailles, or possibly heard the Irish at Dublin when they weren’t feeling: sociable but if you were not at De Pere, last fall. October 30 and 31, then you’ve missed the thrill that comes once and stays through most of a lifetime. I wouldn’t have missed those two days if the pods had made me crawl backwards all the way from Kimberly. On Friday, the 30th, the incoming trains, with their heavily loaded coaches of alumni, resembled an over worked sardine can. By midnight, the leading hostelries in this, otherwise, orderly city, were filled to overflowing. As we would say it in 20th century phraseology: all railroads and state highways led to De Pere.” The following morning the city merrily joined into the festivities by bedecking itself in gala attire. Green and White pennants, and banners, even the red, white and blue floated from every conceivable vantage point. The shop-windows fairly shouted; “Alumni, welcome to our city.” The alumni certainly did seem to be at home. Handshaking and back slapping nearly ruined more than one popular old student. King joy ruled supreme. A Mardi Gras, famed for its festal activities, would hide shamefully for being so quiet and lifeless after having seen De Pere on October 31. Even the law polished his brass buttons, donned his parade cap and strutted up and down the streets. This city of the fathers had reached the proper degree of spirit necessary for a successful homecoming. About noon a tenseness filled the joymakers. A remote possibility of defeat lurked deep in the hearts of many of the revelers, but not one of them would dare think of voicing his opinion. If any one of them were anxious about the outcome of the game he hid it behind a mask of carefree happiness. De Paul came to avenge last year’s defeat when the Juggernaut spoiled their homecoming by romping off with the verdict. Then too, De Paul came, heralded by the wonderful reputation of not having been on the short end of a score during the season. Around one o’clock, the main avenues on both sides of the river were rather empty, so I hustled to the field. People were jostling one another at the box office in an attempt to get some of the coveted cardboards. I won’t tell you how I got in, just be satisfied that I am going to tell you about what happened inside that massive, concrete bowl which jealously encircles the grassy, well-kept gridiron. Just as I wormed my way through the crowd and got near the manila hemp fence, the whistle pierced shrilly in the still, sunshiny, autumn air. Kindly overlook any exuberance, on my part, which might detract from the interest in the narration of this game. I just couldn’t control myself when that whistle blew. The students were yelling, the Alumni were going crazy, and the out-of-towners, just grabbed the closest thing available and hung on. Page f t Cap'll Schroeder had made another lucky guess that the buffalo would squint at him from beneath a shaggy eyebrow, it all turned out just as Schroeder figured it. H« wanted to catch the ball instead of kick off, so De Paul humored him. Varness, -tord-olT oh! what a funny rising and sinking sensation as the ball turned and twisted, ay up in the air, and finally plumped down into Tommy Fox's capable arms. Tommy returned the ball to his forty yard line amid the deafening roars of the spectators. After an incomplete pass, and a iine play that made five yards, Blackjack Malevich punted. De Paul would take no chances so a punt came nosing back. The Juggernaut lined up and Blackjack passed to Champa for twelve precious yards. The Alumni went wild. After two more plays Schumacher attempted a field goal but failed by a f'Uple feet. At the end of the quarter the ball was playing a mighty interesting rame of peek-a-boo, with I)e Paul’s goal. In the second period the “Green Wave” •o t the ball when Hussey, half back on the Chicago team, butted in and stole a pass from Schumacher. On a series of quick line plays and two passes Moran went over for nix points. Mclnerney added another and made it seven. My home town people think I am a big strong man but it is a mighty good thing that they didn’t see me bawling like a baby who has just seen an uncle for the first time. The sighs and groan of the alumni and students were more agonizing that the wail of Rachel for -••r lost children. I)e Paul kicked off again between the goal posts. Can you imagine thr ball being lost in the tall grass back of the goal, Yes sir, that’s what happened. What's more, Champa got lost too, when he was looking for it. After scrambling 4nound for a few minutes St. Norberts resumed action on her twenty yard line. The Juggernaut” began to show signs of being nettled at having been scored on so ruth-l« lv. She started tearing down the field using Schumacher as the ball carrier. That gentleman in a series of plays made considerable yardage, anti might have made more but the crowd acted rather noisy and Jack is such a retiring boy. Champa made ten yard after catching a pass from Blackjack—Schumacher made three more—they’re going,—closer the Juggernaut is roused, closer—closer—twenty yards from goal—a i completed—Malevich takes the oval through the hole opened by the Juggernaut forward wall and knifes his way over for a glorious touchdown. Hurrah! the ram«- isn’t lost yet! The game is held up here until the crowd quiets down, if they -vi� r will. Schumacher adds the extra point. Whew! the crowd buzzes with excitement a the kick-off comes. The half ends shortly after with Fox fondling the ball on IV Paul’s forty yard line after brilliantly capturing a De Paul pass. The start of the second half saw Schumacher receive the kick-ofF and gallop twenty yards through the battered I)e Paul before the dazed Chicagoans could grab him Campshure made seven through the same place, Blackjack threw an accurate pa to Deloria. Reggie added twenty yards and laid the ball right in line with the g' a! posts. The crowd was wild over Reggie. A goal, by Schumacher, was made, (Concluded on Page 05) rtftp.firvrn In the early grey of morning-, November 14, the Juggernaut packed her football duds and fared forth to invade St. John’s back yard. An idleness of two weeks certainly did not improve the Juggernaut’s fighting condition but she rolled onto the field ready to fight to the end. For the sixth consecutive time Cap’n Schroeder won the toss. This time it was the feather-bedecked head of old “Roman Nose’’ that grinned a friendly “how!” “how! “Puda” decided to receive. The Emerald gang immediately swept into action with a series of plunges ami passes that brought the oval down to the soldiers’ 25 yard line. Schumacher dropped back for a field goal but the wind swept the ball wide of the goal posts. It was towards the end of the first quarter that Maloney, right end, replacing the injured Deloria, was forced out of the game with a broken shoulder after having made a brilliant tackle. The soldiers, with Cruger leading the charge, made some substantial gains but they were stopped on the Juggernaut’s 25 yard line. From here, Woodsworth essayed a drop kick but he failed. The half time whistle found both teams in a worn condition. In the second half the cadets launched another passing attack. This drive ended behind the Emerald goal line. On the kick-otF the cadets inaugurated another offensive but the Juggernaut made one last attempt and held tight. Woodsworth tried another goal from field but failed again. Worley was replaced at tackle by Berendsen. Heinie was a wonderful help in stemming the lush. At this point a stray Emerald pass was intercepted and nearly resulted in another score. The Collegians rallied and made 50 yards, but the time was up before the goal could be reached. The Reserves Some of the greatest men turned out by the game of football are the unwept, unhonored and unsung heroes of the reserves. Yes, they are heroes, every one of them. Their task is indeed a thankless one, the task of taking a daily pounding from the Varsity. If it were not for these heroes the Varsity would never be possible. There were a couple of these men who saw action with the Varsity—would that they all could have been so fortunate! But are they downhearted ?

Jardin ruin' FiVr Basketball BASKICTBALL RKV1KYV At tin beginning of tlu Basket ha 11 season the College was rocked from top to bottom bv the report of tlu Rt. Rev. It. II. Pennings that Varsity athletics would be discontinued at least for the present scholastic term and a league would be organized in the place of the Varsity. It was a hard blow for the students to bear since Varsity .Material had never been so plentiful nor of such excellent quality. But the boys took the news with a grin and they entered into the leagues with real zest. Bight teams were organized in the Major league and four in tlu Junior league. Besides these two leagues, the Collegiates managed to clash among themselves in at least six ,mm. Bcorge “Red” Beth deserves a great deal of credit for organizing, •quipping, and handling tin teams of both leagues. “Red’ also refereed the tilts and capably settled the infrequent disputes which naturally arise in a i ague. The close of the major league found the scrapping Bohemians perched n the first berth having lost only two contests. The Kmoralds landed in first place in the Junior league and they stayed there. Throughout the season, the leadership of the league was disputed among such teams as the Bohemians, Fairies and Tigers. In the first half of the circuit the Tigers were nestling in first position, the Fairies second and the Bohemians in third. However these t.-ams were never separated by more than one game so that if one team was debated tie other would he the leader. It was not until the final week of the clashing that the Bohemians, by administering defeats to the Tigers and Fairies finally rearhed the pinnacle and were heralded the “Champions. The season was officially closed, when the gold basketballs, the medal, and the banners, were awarded by the Reverend Rector in the presence of tin entire Student Body. TheBohunks captured tin basketballs, and the Kmeralds were awarded large banners appropriately worked out in silk. Mr. ('. Hill was declared the most valuable man and he was presented with the medal. His place was hotly contested by L. Watikeehon and R. Smith wick. Taking all things into consideration we must truthfully say the leagues were a success for it took many a lad who had never played the game before and developed him into a player of ability. Charles Hill Georye “Red Beth Ffr Fifty-Sine OEX PE REX The Senior League Bohemians The flashy “Bohunks” were in and out of first place at least three times but consistent caging: brought them out on top when the last game was played. Robert Smithwick and “Pauly” Hessel carried the bulk of the offensive work and that they carried it successfully may be seen from the percentage table. Captain John Smithwick constituted the third member of this point getting trio. Opposing teams feared them and not without good reason, because the Smithwick boys were close to the top in individual scoring. Besides this flashy and speedy trio the Crimson jerseyed boys possessed a defensive combination which was largely responsible for the low scores of their opponents. Time after time Micke and Kenote broke up their opponent’s team work and by clever floor work brought the ball down to scoring distance. “Red” Faivre constituted the sixth member of the league championship squad. Fairies Close on the footsteps of the league champions we find the Fairies. Throughout the season these orange colored warriors were camping in first position only to have their championship hopes ruined by three successive defeats administered by the “Bohunks,” Tigers and Stars. Charlie Hill, the pivoting Redskin, was one of the most outstanding players in the Major league. It is safe to say that it is mainly due to Charlie’s caging ability that his team made such a wonderful showing. The final week found their star forward, Hodek, on the casualty list. This was a death blow to the Fairies as they lost their next three games. With their offensive drive well taken care of by Pigeon, Hill, and Hodek, their defense was not lacking as, in Boucher, Dillion and Captain Van Gemert, the Fairies had three hoop hawks who did everything that was expected of them. Tigers Failure to demonstrate the same drive that so characterized their playing in the first half of the circuit, the Tigers like the Fairies lost three of their last six games and dropped from first position into a tie with the Fairies for second place. The Tigers boasted of an offense that so bewildered the Bohemians that the league champions were defeated by an overwhelming score. In Captain Smith the Tigers had a leader which every team envied. He was a dribbler, and one of the classiest cagers that cavorted during the season. With Stempcr and Waupuchick at the forward posts the Tigers amassed a large total of points. At guard positions Donald Smits and Ranguette worked like veterans and it was their effective smearing of opponents’ plays that wrecked the hopes of many of the league teams. Reds The Reds club seemed to join hands with the Stars. At the beginning of the season, they looked like a second rate club, winning only two games out of the first seven. However, the jinx was chased in time to warrant a seat on the same bench with the Stars for third place. Capt. Waukechon was instrumental in keeping the morale of the team and with the combined efforts of Wausakakamick and Stemper it warded ofr other defeats. The Reds were a team of stars. An amusingly pliant four man offensive galloped down the floor only to stop when the ball skipped the cords for another basket. A five man sentry post stopped other invaders into the Pueblo camp on many occasions. The Red men hold, in their possession, the scalps of the first rate club and all through the season they could be counted as possible winners. Their craftiness was to be admired and applauded. Sixty-One Page ■ DEI PERE.T The Senior League 4= 4: O S Stars Chasing: a jinx in the latter part of the schedule, the Stars, led by “Naughty” Gardie Hessell turned out to be a contender for championship honors. Winning their last six games after a lifeless start in the league they nestle safely in a tie for fourth place. Capt. Hessel, proved to be the cog in the wheel when time and time again his instructions proved to be a great factor in tossing off invasions of the foe. Kornely at center, appeared to be a flash-in-the-pan as his floor work merits considerable praise. Cordy and Dewane at guards proved to be “Sentries” of the first class as was very evident during the last six games. “Bebe” Biebels appeared as a contender for the All-League team as his basket eye was one of the brightest in the league. Truly, the Stars, the rejuvenated Stars, was a great ball club. Nitehawks Alhough the Nitehawks placed sixth, their games were always interesting and fiercely contested. Their clash with the Bohemians was one of the most spectacular games of the season. The “Bohunks” by uncanny basket shooting were only able to administer defeat in the closing moments of the fray. For a more clever team, the Nitehawks had no equal. In Christman, E. Flatley and Linzmeyer, the “Hawks” had a trio that more than one team feared. All three possessed the art of dribbling and pivoting, but failure to put the leather in the net proved the weak point for this second division five. Bob Flatley, Vander Zanden and Charles held down the guard positions and their knack of taking the ball off their opponents basket was largely responsible for the low scores of their games. Cubs The Cubs, like the Comets, were a fine defensive team. It was not until the final week of the circuit that the opposing teams penetrated “Teddies” five man defense for more than a sextet of baskets. To the Reds goes the honor of scoring the largest number of points on this stonewall. In this game, however, “Apcy” McNamara showed his real supremacy by caging nine field goals and to him goes the honor of one of the few who scored so decisively in a single game. As a running mate, La Belle proved himself a real basket tosser and with these men carrying the brunt of the Cub offense, they were able to administer a stinging defeat to the Comets and Nitehawks. In Capt. Windt, the little Bears had a leader who did everything that was required of a guard. Time after time his dribbling brought the ball down to scoring distance but inability to cage baskets was most disastrous. Heitpas, McCole, Marcotte, Schmitz, and Dewane constituted the rest of this ball club and it was their aggressiveness of breaking up passes that so marked the Cubs as the dark horse of the League.

Their record was smeared by the timely defeat administered by the flying Rubies in the most spectacular game of the season. In Ryan and Bauer, the Emeralds have a pair of forwards that any team of the fourteen year old class would feel proud to possess. Ryan, the Captain of his team, was high individual scorer of the league. Besides this classy pair, the Emeralds have Bidder, a center who had never played basketball before, but by a season's drilling developed into a player of rare ability. Butler and Heun, held down the sentry positions and it was their stellar guarding that accounted for their opponents low scores. Rubies It was not until the final week of basket tossing that the championship of the Minor league was decided. This was due to the one reason, that the Rubies were sharing top honors with the Emeralds. It was in this final week, that the Rubies met the Emeralds. When the clash took place, it was some clash. The Rubies were picked to win and with I.agina and Kupecky doing the scoring, they managed to lead the championship Emeralds for three quarters of the game. But like all good games, the Rubies lead was short lived and when the final whistle wailed its fearful cry the Rubies were sitting in second place. It was a game that will be remembered not only by those ton players, but by every spectator who had been so fortunate as to attend. Besides such stars as Kupecky and Lagina, these fourteen year old youngsters had a defense in Borghuis, Olandei and Greenwood that was largely responsible for their successful record. Diamonds From the spectators point of view, the Diamonds have the distinctive mark of having the best fighting quintette. Outside of two players, their team was made up I of inexperienced lads. Yet, they carried with them the punch that characterizes a good, . fast basketball team. In a game with the Emeralds, these “wedding ring” boys so i baffled their opponents for almost three quarters of the game that the victor could not 1 be decided until the final whistle shrilled. Lucassen, the smallest man in the league, was a sensation in himself, as was Diny his partner. Earners, Vander Fas, and Zelin-ski comprised the offensive combinations, and when these lads had a “night on,” their opponents had to take for their motto, “A Greater Defensive.” Pearls Although the Pearls never threatened to become champions it was this team which gave the Emeralds and Rubies the most trouble. It was the lightest, yet the cleverest , quintette in the circuit. It was their unique ability, to circle around their opposing I guards and to score the pot shots” that made their games interesting. In Verstegen, Greenwood and Hopp, the Pearls had a trio who could advance the ball better than any team in the league, Heitpas and DeWildt played stellar guarding games and it was their playing that so bewildered the Rubies, that it took an overtime period to decide the contest. BEJ PEREf The Baseball Season The 1925 baseball season barely lasted three weeks. A late spring, inclement weather, and inability to secure games combined to make the success rather mediocre. Oshkosh Normal crossed bats for the opening game over at Legion Park. Diminutive Captain Dodge toed the mound for the Green and White and his ‘‘slants and off shoots” worked perfectly except for two frames; the third and the seventh, in which the teachers garnered most of their runs through several clean hits and some glaring errors. The Norberites too, touched up Nusbaum, the normal ace, rather lively. The gentleman retired in favor of Schweer. The second hurler lasted two rounds and Dunn was rushed in from the bull pen. He partially stemmed the tide but not before the collegians had counted twelve runs. The “horsehide” was slammed to all comers of the field with the frequency of an ambitious housewife cleaning her parlor rug. Concordia came down with a classy looking troupe of diamond performers. From the first inning Dodge and Bachert hooked up and fought it out till the last man was retired. Both shoved the pellet across with Mid-season form and they received support that many A. A. teams would envy, had any been present. St. Norbert’s scored in the initial frame. Riley was passed but he didn't like the first baseman so he stole second. Stage, Luxemburg’s contribution, lifted a long Texas leaguer and Smiling Bill ambled home. That ended the scoring for the afternoon. Dodge allowed three hits and fanned seven. Bachert was touched for four hits and retired ten. The College nine motored to Northwestern and lost a hotly contested game 5-3. St. Norbert’s jumped into an early lead through a walk by Guenther, a single by Stage, and home runs by Ben Masse. In the second frame Northwestern counted twice on errors. The fifth frame saw three more Northwestern runs trickle across the plate. The remaining innings were hitless, runless, but not errorless. However the errors were not serious and no runs resulted. The return game with Oshkosh was cancelled because of a wet diamond. No more games had been scheduled and the season swiftly retired before the rush of the Final Exams. J. Dodge, Capt. B.

St. Norbert's Day, June 6 While Phoebus lavishly poured a moulten stream of golden suiibeaius upon the campus, the College men were strenuously engaged in combatting the allied forces of the academic and tin commercial departments. The final computation found the rival factions deadlocked with 02% points each. Field Day is an annual occurrence and although the marks of this meet were somewhat below collegiate standard, yet the rivalry and closeness of the events created an intense excitement and fully made up for the absence of many record-breaking performances. However, Hugh Flat ley succeeded in leaping 5 ft. 7 in. and thereby established a new mark and “Pat McKeough turned in the time of 2:20 for the half mile. The Collegians were behind 57% to 02,% when the final event, a half mile relay was started.

Meet « The second Annual Parochial School Meet totally eclipsed even the fondest expectations of the promoters. This meet was staged at the Northeastern Wisconsin Fair Grounds near the banks of the Rippling Fox. Over three hundred juvenile athletes vied with each other for the medals and most of all, for the beautiful loving cup. A large crowd heartily cheered the contestants as they competed in the various events. Each team was accompanied by a crowd of loyal rooters who backed them up mighty encouragingly. St. Joseph’s of Appleton amassed enough points to bring home first place though none of the entries figured among the three high scorers. For the second time St. Stephen’s School of Stevens Point came in second, through Donnie Fox’s strenuous efforts. This youngster took the high individual honors and also appropriated the loving cup. St. Mary’s of Peshtigo won third place. The records of the first annual meet were smashed, broken, trampled upon and are now, perhaps forgotten. The ambitious youngsters smashed nine records, tied one and failed in only two—it was a record-breaking meet. The three winning schools received honors with their respective places elaborately worked in green and white silk. Gordon Bent and Company of Green Bay and Alumni presented the cup and medals.

St. Jlugustine’s Literary and Dramatic Society Rev. H. L. Traeger, Director an amendment, to the Constitution, regulate Child treat. Adrian Gerrits lectured on ‘Gross Exaggerations.' St. Augustine’s Literary and Dramatic Society, “the principal organization of St. Norbert's------ contains the best in the school.” These words are taken from the 1924 Des Peres. It shall be my purpose in this year’s write-ups of the different societies to demonstrate how each is an ideal in its own field. The following quotations have been taken from the minutes of the various meetings of the past year. “John Fleck recited “Kipling’s ‘Gunda Din.’ Adrian Gerrits spoke on ‘The Days of Lost Tradition,’ which was educational both from historical and literary viewpoints. Mr. Joseph Jansen------read a brief biography of Francis Thompson. Leo Eckman lectured on ‘Truth and Endeavor.’ Valuable food for thought was portrayed in the next number, ‘What is Patriotism?’ by J. Champa. An impressive, worthwhile mock trial took place. The subject for the formal debate scheduled for the last meeting was: ‘Resolved that Congress, by Labor.’ This was an intellectual “Promptly at 11:00 o’clock______President John Cashman called to order the sec- ond meeting of St. Augustine's.” There you have it. The capacity of mind not only of the esteemed and much liked president but all officers of the society, Ralph Lenz, James McCIoskey, Adrian Gerrits, and A1 Schwalbach, have made an excellent society. Here is the essence of another reason for the splendid showing and success of St. Augustine’s. Any program must be diversified to be interesting. The following lines are from the Minute Book. “Two Musical selections were given us by an all-star trio. Henry Hubert followed with two songs in that rich baritone that we all like to hear. An orchestra selection and encore were rendered and well received. The audience went wild over the seducive strains of the sobbing saxophone, the sweet tone vibration of the violin, and the buoyant banging of the banjo. The titles of these tonal conglomerations were, ‘Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue,’ ‘Southern Rose,’ and______given by the collegian entertainers (Frankie Rowe’s Peppy Collegian Radio Request Orchestra).” The above statements need no comment. Father H. L. Traegcr, the Director of St. Augustine’s has been highly commended upon the progress of St. Augustine’s Literary and Dramatic Society. It can not be stated too strongly the influence the Rev. Director has had upon the Society. By his urgent appeal directly to the members the standards of the Society in quality, entertainment and intelligence have soared in the limitless market of human endeavor. Can we enlarge upon the above statements? It is quite impossible to give you a more vivid picture. Incidentally you readily understand why St. Augustine’s is THE society of the College. Consider its members’ ability. St. Augustine’s holds the tremendous possibilities and abilities in its palm of developing that ability for helping the members. Through the “make believe” period to the time the man must shoulder the actual burdens of life’s chosen profession does the Society work for good. Page Seventy-One L A. Schwalbach, Sgt. at Arms. A.

St. Luke’s The St. Luke’s Literary and Dramatic society is an organization for the junior members of the student body. While it is impossible for this society to be developed to the high standards of St. Augustine’s and other college organizations St. Luke’s has many things of which to be gratified. A short review of the activities of this society would be efficient and abundant evidence of the amount of good accomplished during the past year by this group. When we have finished these we are going to let them stand for your approval.

Consider with the writer, this organization. Filled with joy of school life and directed by their exceptional director. Reverend Father Alger, this group of boys are laying the foundation of a successful life by their intrepid exploration into the fields of knowledge. They are willing to struggle so that through strict and progressive school training they can give to their neighbor, their nation and their God, the gifts of a happy, busy life. This writer would be selfish if he did not let his spirit go out to this group of hard working boys. “May you members of St. Luke’s prosper in your life’s work in a measure that shall equal your efforts in your organization.” Seven ty-Th rec R.

St. John Berchman’s Sanctuary Society St. John Berchman’s is an organization unique among the others at St. Norbert's. It is for the purpose of fostering vocations for the holy priesthood. It resembles toother organizations of the College in so far as it is educational and instructive. Under the able direction of Father Exler it has attained for its members the much wanted spiritual success. Extracts from the minutes follow: Rev. F. X. J. Exler gave a very interesting little talk concerning the purpose and aim of the society and the behavior of its members. (First meeting). A paper was read on the history of the Rosary. Clarence Micke then gave several interesting Catholic topics which were not only well selected but also well delivered. (Second meeting). We were favored with the following program: Paper, “All Saints’ Day”, by James McGarvey; Violin selection by John Hoffman; Reading from “The Imitation”, by Frank Helwig. (Fourth meeting). Mr. Sylvester Linzmeyer favored the society with a highly instructive paper relating to facts concerning the Immaculate Conception. (Sixth meeting). The following was rendered: Violin selection—A. Olander; Catholic Current Events—W. Bcrghuis; Essay, New Year’s Day—E. Van Den Boom. (Seventh meeting). A few selections on the piano were given by our youthful pianist, Horton Roe. Messrs. Lamers, Wulterkens, and Vander Pas, with birdlike voices, chirping with glee, rendered two unique vocal selections. An essay on St. Blase by E. Diny followed. (Ninth meeting). The following numbers were given at the meeting: A paper, St. Thomas Acquinas by James McGarvey; A talk. The Month of March, by L. Raster. (Eleventh meeting). Popt' SVp fi H. Hubert, Pres. J. R.

The Catholic Students Mission Crusade has for its prime purpose the fostering: of r. pirit of co-operation with our home and foreign missions. This noble line of endeavor is limited to Catholic Students. It means to interest the student in a subject of special importance, in a special way, and by a special method. St. Norbert’s Unit of the “Crusade,” as it is familiary known here, is remarkably active. I have picked from the minute book lines which are highly significant, and have endeavored to put them together with the purpose that you will read the minutes of a SINGLE meeting; whereas the selections cover the work of a year. The customary invocation lead by the Director was followed by the usual reading of the minutes of the previous meeting. The Reverend Director next administered the Crusade pledge to all present. Mr. Hubert then read a paper on “The Christian Missions from 33 A. D. to 1400 A. D.” Mr. John Cashman continued the same subject from the year 1400-1800 A. D. The Kimberly songsters twittered and warbled through two •weet vocal selections. Mr. Cashman spoke concerning the holding of future meetings in the evenings. The Senior quartette, Schmitt, Beth, Hubert and Fleck—gave two -elections of superb quality. Mr. Frank Svatek then proceeded to inform us of the spiritual progress of the Philippine natives. His paper was clear, complete and masterly given. In a C. S. M. C. raffle a genuine Indian blanket was given away. Joseph Janssen, treasurer, next gave a financial report. A discussion ‘Resolved that we help the Philippine missions rather than the Chinese missions' was opened. Gerald McCole •poke first. Carl Sheahan rose and opposed Mr. McCole. The argument raged furiously back and forth. A special feature was planned: ‘A pictorial lecture by means of -lidos on Alaska.’ The following disbursements were made:------In his closing remarks the Rev. Director gave much evidence of being pleased with the meeting.” The above gives you a better insight of the splendid attainments of the C. S. M. C. than we could give in our own words. This “live wire” society is just ONE more rea-on why St. Norbert’s is progressing rapidly in her course to fame. P-tf tirf, nty-St'rni DEI PESEI STATION It was in nineteen twenty five that tin College saw the inception of the Broadcasting Station. WHBY, which lias been proving its popularity during the past year. The motive force which not only caused the birth of the idea, but was also an essential condition to its being carried out. was the registration of Cletus Collum, an expert electrical engineer, as a student. If praise In due to any one person, who worked at the erection of WHBY, then in all justice the lion’s share must perforce be given to “(Mete, as In is known to everyone. Without him, there would be no station at St. Xorhert s today, and in view of the existing mixup in regard to matters of radio, it would, probably, never have been. After tin necessary governmental license had been procured, Clete went to work with a will, and in a short time had built a practical working apparatus. 'I'est programs then became the order of the day. and everyone having any connection with the station was kept busy, adjusting and improving the delicate mechanism. For the month or so that followed, St. Xorhert’s was an experiment station both from the mechanical and from the entertainment standpoint. Soon everything was in readiness, and broadcasting began in earnest, continuing until June. Page Seven ty-Si DEJ PERE.T During the summer months, and until the return of Mr. Col linn late in the fall, the station was silent. Immediately after his return, an extensive program ■ f improvements was begun and carried out. New apparatus, including a speech amplifier and an improved microphone was purchased. The old antenna was mm down, and an entirely new system was set up in its place. This antenna, tin arteries, as it were, of the machine, consists of a five wire twin cage, twelve f ' t apart, insulated with eighteen inch pvrex insulators and supported by two 'tn l masts fifty-four feet above the roof of Hoyle Hall, a four story structure. This Antenna is of such a type that if the College obtains permission to increase it transmitting power no improvement will be necessary. But at this time there is small hope of such a contingency as the l 8. Chamber of Commerce has • ruling which says that all stations broadcasting on a wave length of between two hundred and two hundred eighty-five meters may not increase their power. The broadcasting machine itself is an extremely complicated affair. The artist who sends out dulcet strains of music, whether vocal or instrumental, or the orator, who in clarion tones sends forth the harmonics of rhetoric and the 9 - Seventy-Nine DEI PEREZ hard thrusts of logic, does not conn near the operating room. 'I’lie studio, completely draped to preclude all possibility of echo, is located in the Academic Building. It contains the following essential articles: The Microphone, a (irand piano, an organ, and several tables and chairs. 'fhe pipe organ, which is heard weekly, is in the College Chapel, and the microphone is moved thither for the organ recitals. When an artist broadcasts, the energy is carried by remote control to the operating room and the composite transmitter, built by the College on tin fourth floor of Boyle Hall. This is five hundred feet away from the studio. At the operating room, the energy is amplified by a three-stage speech amplifier, whereupon, it travels through a five watt power amplifier tube. It is then impressed upon a carrier wave generated bv a fifty watt oscillating tain . The tubes are supplied with one thousand volts from an Ksco motor generator located in the basement. The speech amplifier and receiving sets are supplied with current from a number of storage cells, 'flic transmitter at the present time has an input of five hundred watts and an output of fifty watts. The Heising system of modulation with a modified Ilertlev circuit is used. A new Colin B. Kennedy short wave receiving set has been installed and with it the station now avails itself of a wave length of from 20 to 25 thousand meters. An experimental station has been constructed by the college during the past year. Its call letters are OBIT. It has a power of ten watts and uses a wave length of forty meters. WI1BY is under the management of the following staff: Mr. .James A. Wagner, Station Manager. It is his duty to hook all commercial programs.

'V Eighty-Three DEJ PEREJT Our Alumni Now, more than ever, have the Alumni of St. Norbert’s College been a strong factor in the progress of their Alma Mater. It is largely due to them that St. Norbert’s College is growing in importance, morally anti otherwise. The success in life each and every Alumnus has attained, in many ways reflects the character of the instruction and care that has been imparted to them during their few years’ sojourn here. The business achievements of many of the Alumni show the commercial training their Alma Mater is capable of giving, while the numerous priests and religions she claims reflect the moral fortitude she is able to provide. Thus have the Alumni aided their foster mother. In the athletic world also the Alumni have been of great help. Much credit must be given them in helping to put this school “on the map” athletically. The football team has cause to remember them, especially during the home-coming days. It knew that many sideline spectators of that all important game were former students, that these onlookers were interested in the team and were breathlessly watching every move of every individual player. Every man of the eleven on that gridiron knew that these ex-graduates, yelling themselves hoarse had once more found that enthusiasm which they had as students. And did the ‘eleven’ disappoint them? Do you, Alumni, know why the St. Norbert’s “crack” team came back in the second half so fiercely determined to win that game? Because it knew that every man on the sidelines was looking for a stiffer comeback. That was the big reason why the team put up that irresistible battle. It played its hardest and most thrilling game because the Alumni were there. The Seventh Annual Homecoming October 31st, and November 1st, were two of the most pleasurable days of the St. Norbert’s Alumni. They were pleasant days, because they were the dates of the ‘Seventh’ annual Homecoming. The first of the two will live through the life of every Alumnus, because it was the day of that thrilling I)e Paul game, the like of which has never before been seen on De Pere’s gridiron. The Alumni appreciated it with all the gusto that was in them. This year also as before, De Pere took an active notice of the Homecoming. America’s colors waved before every business house, the streets were gloriously decorated, and every shop-window, judging from its make-up, cried out a welcome to the passing Alumnus. Indeed the spirit of De Pere seemed to challenge that of the Alumni; De Pere sought to out-do itself. Our local Journal-Democrat expressed this spirit so enthusiastically that we can do no less than |uote the article: “The Journal-Democrat takes pleasure in welcoming the Alumni of St. Norbert’s College to their seventh annual Homecoming. We know the former students and graduates of the institution look forward to this annual event with delightful anticipation, and the Journal-Democrat, with other De Pere business men and citizens, is ready to do its share in making the reunion a success in every way.” “St. Norbert’s College is growing, slowly but surely, and we believe the Alumni are playing their part in this development. The Alumnus is looked upon as the finished product of the college, and the character of the training received at the college is reflected in the character of the Alumnus; in his honesty, his uprightness, his morality, his public-spiritedness. So the Alumnus, unconsciously perhaps, is wielding a powerful influence for the future development of his Alma Mater. These annual Homecomings cannot but impress him with his responsibility to his College, and make him realize that the good name of St. Norbert’s is in his keeping.” “May the Homecoming days of 1025—Oct. 31 and Nov. 1—be replete with the happy reminiscenses of college life, the strengthening of former ties and the forming of new and lasting friendships. This is our earnest wish.” W. A. SANDERS Alumni Pres. Page M DES PcP.’Ef But no matter what the Homecoming: means to I)e Here, it meant much more to St. Norbert’s, and to tier Alumni. We certainly appreciate the spirit existing: throughout our city and hope it will ever continue thus. The first event of our gigantic annual celebration was the St. Norbert’s-De Paul foot-ball game. It was a portrayal of seeming super-human strength and ingenuity which won that game; and this spirit in the team was brought into action by the spirited yells of the students, intermingled with those of the Alumni. REV. P. N. BUTLER 0. Praem. While leaving the field, both the students and the Alumni united their voices in that old song “Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here.” Yells and loud cries were heard during the whole march back to the College. A half hour after the game the streets seemed to be lifeless; a strain was in the air. ’Twas a calm before the storm. Soon, amidst the blare of horns and trumpets, a monstrous parade proceeded to “wake up the town.” Every previously quiet nook reverberated with the loud cries and yells which rent the air on that evening in celebration of our wonderful victory in the afternoon. Students and Alumni gathered on every corner and gave vent to the spirit in them. Then came another important feature of the evening, the huge bonfire. Had you been on the campus that night, you would have thought a party of Indians were holding a war dance, preparatory for battle. But it was only a group of students ami alumni, outwardly out-doing every custom of the Indian of early days. When the •mob” was almost exhausted (or roasted) peppy speakers took possession of the field and raised the spirit of the spectators to a higher degree, if this were in any way possible. It was not until all the available wood and brush had been burned that the students retired. The following afternoon the business meeting of the Alumni took place. Various things were settled: W. A. Sanders was elected president of the Alumni Association; E. Everson, vice-president; Rev. L. A. V. De Cleene, recording secretary; O. M. Kiley, financial secretary; John Van De Ixjo, treasurer. It was also decided to keep the News letter in its present form. Through George Carr’s persuasion the Association decided to establish news centers or chapters. Important news is to be wired to these centers and the man in charge is to give it publicity. Four chapters were established in Michigan; nine in Wisconsin; one in Chicago; one in Montana; and one in Virginia City, Minnesota. That evening took place the annual Alumni banquet. Bert McDonald, the retiring vice-president, officiated as toastmaster and greatly enlivened the evening. Rt. Rev. Abbot B. H. Pennings opened the evening’s program with his blessing und followed this up with an address of welcome. Then the College orchestra rendered one of their favorite selections. The following respective numbers were then given: Our President, by H. M. Kuvpers; Vocal Solo, by George Van Dyck; Our Association, by Dr. W . J. Frawley; Vivi L’Amour, Ensemble; A Greater St. Norbert’s, by Rev. T. Verbeten; Our Athletics, by Bert Everson; Cornet Solo , by Prof. Gysbers; Reminiscenses, by Hon. George Carr; Auld Lang Syne, Ensemble. Father Millay and Father Hietpas also must receive honorary mention for their stirring talks. George Beth, as manager, responded to the toast, Athletics. The pride of the Alumni in the team was manifested when Dr. Frawley requested each athlete to get up, give his name, his position and his home state. A great honor has been bestowed upon the Alumni January 31, 1B26. Oscar Win-ninghoff, '21, Francis Clabots, O. Praem., ’22, and Patrick Butler, O. Praem., 22, were ordained priests by Archbishop Messmer, at St. Francis Seminary. Fathers Clabots and Butler have remained with the College faculty.

B. H. Pennings is installed as an J-.Ibbot De Pere Priest First In State to Receive This Honor (Special to Press-Gazette). With all solemnity and dignity in the historic church of St. Joseph this morning, the Very Rev. Bernard H. Pennings was formally installed as abbot of the Norbertine order. The elevation of the venerable priest brings to him the coveted honor of being the first abbot in Wisconsin and the only abbot of the order he represents in the United States. The ceremonies of investiture were participated in by eminent churchmen from this ami other states as members of the clergy to the number of 150, besides as many more prominent Catholic laymen, viewed them. Prior to the services, the clergy moved slowly in procession from the convent into the church, where some took up their stations in the sanctuary and others were � « ated in pews reserved for them in the front of the church. The installation of the new abbot was performed by the Rt. Rev. Paul P. Rhode, Bishop of Green Bay, during pontifical high mass. The bishop blessed the abbot also. In the solemn services and as celebrant of the mass, Bishop Rhode was assisted by two abbots of the Benedictine order and several other clergymen. The visiting abbots were the Rt. Rev. Alcuin Deutsch, St. John’s Abbey, Collegeville, Minn., and the Rt. Rev. Vincent Huber, St. Bede Abbey, Peru, 111. The Rt. Rev. P. J. Lochman of Kau-kauna, vicar-general of the Green Bay diocese served as presbyter assistant, or assisting priest. The deacons of honor were the Very Rev. Alphonse Broens of Sturgeon Bay and Rev. George A. Casey, of Grimms, while the deacons of the mass were the Rev. Conrad Ripp of Kaukauna and Rev. M. Klosowski of Rosholt. A Chicago priest, the Rev. J. A. Van Heertum, 0. Praem. formerly rector of St. Norbert’s college acted as notar-ius. Four assumed the duties of masters of ceremonies as follows: the Rev. A. Koeferl, the bishop’s secretary; Rev. H. L. Traeger, O. Praem, and Rev. M. J. Mc-Koough. 0. Praem, of St. Norbert’s, and the Rev. Dr. W. Michalicka, O. S. B. of St. Procopius Abbey, Lisle, III. Acolytes were students of St. Norbert’s college and St. Joseph’s school. Besides these officiating priests there were three monsignori within the sanctuary, —Rt. Rev. Msgr. Peter Van Heyster, of St. Boniface church, West De Pere; Rt. Rev. .Msgr. W. J. Fitzmaurice, of Appleton and Rt. Rev. Msgr. W. Peil, of Manitowoc. At the completion of the ceremonies the Rt. Rev. Francis E. Kelley, Bishop of Oklahoma, delivered an address eulogizing Father Pennings, in his great achievements as head of St. Norbert’s college since the time the new abbot founded the institution in 1K98, beginning with one pupil. Bishop Kelly said in part: “Everything that is Christian is made in the likeness of Christ and as a man in the image and likeness of God every great office in the church is in some way a likeness of the church. The office of an abbot, has a triple dignity—as teacher, father, and ruler. “First as teacher the abbot has a conspicuous place in history, for if as Cardinal Gibbons once said, 40ur societies were founded by the bishops as the comb by the bees,’ it was the monk directed by the abbot who put the honey of learning in the cells. •’As a father his title comes from word ‘abba’ meaning father. This designation originated from the family idea as promulgated in the time of monasticism. “As a ruler the abbot is the sign of unity, for like the bishop he is the mortar that holds the stones together and makes of many—One.” Never on any occasion did the church present a more striking appearance with the three altars adorned with flowers of many hues and the clergy attired in vestments and regalia colorful and imposing. The main altar in the center was tastily arranged with vases of Easter lilies, red roses, pink carnations, snapdragons of pink and purple tints, ami white lilacs, bridal wreath, with here and there a sprinkling of green ferns. The two side altars were decorated with carnations. The new throne, of quarter-sawed oak, and draped in heavy, rich mulberrv curtains, was a beautiful adornment to behold. In contrast, the priedieu, or kneeling bench, was fitted with small green curtains and pillow. The oak of these new pieces of furniture matches all interior woodwork in the edifice. Bishop Rhode, early in the services occupied the new throne and his vestments were arranged there. The two abbots “vested” on the side altars. The ceremony of installing Father Pennings as abbot took place during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, after the Epistle. After the new abbot had sworn allegiance and fidelity to the Holy See, he was presented with the insignia of his office,—the mitre, crosier, ring, gloves and sandals. Xinety-One He sang the mass with the bishop and received Holy Communion, and while the Te Deum was being solemnly chanted the abbot was conducted through the church with his assistants and conferred his blessing upon the people assembled. Upon returning to the altar the abbot received the homage of the members of the community, who knelt one by one before him and received the kiss of peace. The ceremony closed with the new abbot standing in his official robes before the main altar, and giving his solemn blessing to all within the church. The mass sung during the services was composed by the Rev. L. A. Dobbelsteen, formerly of the St. Norbert’s college faculty, in honor of Joan of Arc. The Rev. Dobbelsteen and Prof. John Gysbers, organist, presided at the organ. The convent choir, of male voices, sang the mass. The abbot’s throne is the gift of the St. Norbert’s alumni, while the throne chair is the gift of Francis H. Hoyle and his mother, Mrs. Julia Boyle, of Fond du Lac. The priedicu was presented by the Holy Name society of the church. At the conclusion of the church services, Abbot Pen-nings and all of the clergy were banquetted in St. Joseph’s school hall. The dinner was served by the Guard of Honor of the parish. The hall, and tables, were beautifully decorated for the occasion. In front of the table occupied by the new abbot and other high churchmen, flowers of . very color were arranged in the form of a pyramid, making an especially attractive centerpiece for the setting of the banquet tables. Two shields, one the abbey shield and the other the abbot’s shield, attracted the attention of the diners. They were erected on the wall, one on each side of the main floorway. Above the door was a portrait of Bishop Paul P. Rhode, with the stars and � tripes draped around it. Flags were in evidence on the tables, as were carnations and ferns. The story and meaning of the two shields is interesting. For the abbey shield a part of the shield of St. Norbert, who was the Count of Genneh, was adapted for the lower portion. Shears, of odd design, are a prominent feature, but the significance of them has never been determined, it is said. The Norbertine order was founded in France, and the lily of France occupies the top on either side of a half-moon, symbolic • f the United States. Thus three features are combined, St. Norbert’s special symbols, the lilies of France, where the order originated, and the half-moon, showing the hrst house of the order in the United States. One-half of the abbot’s shield is the same as the lower part of the abbey shield. The other part is taken up by a Lion, from the coat-of-arms of the Pennings family. A pansy, in the design, is a play on the name “Pennings.” The lion is holding a fountain, the fountain signifying his own name, Bernard, which he holds from St. Bernard, the Count of Clarirvaux. Below the design is the abbot’s motto, “Diligamus Inviccm,” which translated from the Latin means “Let Us Love One Another.” At the top is the black hat, with six tassels hanging down the sides, the symbol of an abbot. History was touched upon by speakers, and the coming of Father Pennings in 1893 was referred to. His early hardships in labors among the peoples in the Belgian settlements north of Green Bay were recalled. Gradually success began to attend the work of the priest and his associates, until in 1898 the Premonstratensian Order was established by Father Pennings at the request of Bishop S. G. Messmer, of the Green Bay diocese, now archbishop of Milwaukee. The Parish of St. Joseph was offered Father Pennings and there his work began. He was superior of the little community then, and when it was made a priory, Father Pennings was installed as a prior. The convent and college grew in size and numbers, and prospered, until today recognition has come with the priory raised to the ranking of an abbey, and the founder installed as its abbot. Speakers at the banquet included Rt. Rev. Bishop Paul P. Rhode of Green Bay, Rt. Rev. Abbot Alcuin Deutsch and Rt. Rev. Abbot A. V. Huber of the Benedictine order, the Very Rev. M. Clifford of Oshkosh, the Rev. J. A. Van Heertum, 0. Praem., at one time rector of the college and an able worker with Abbot Pennings. oi'4c! ‘feR sTO 3ES PEREf The Rolling Ford ( With apologies to Edgar Allen Poe.)

Kelley said in part: You have made history for this abbey in being a builder. You have made those un«ier you love you. You had the honor to begin the Norbertine order in the United SUtes. You have bound your sons together in one happy, useful family. You have worked peacefully and quietly in all of your long labors here, and I know you will peacefully anti quietly, and just as effectively go on with your great work.” The bishop declared that on the occasion of consecrating the first abbot of the order in the United States, honor fitting Father Pennings was being shown. History will refer to this ceremony as a memorable event in the life of the Catholic church in America. he said. The evening banquet was attended by about 100 laymen, and toasts were responded to by Bishop Francis E. Kelly of Oklahoma, Rev. George Casey of Grimms, the Rev. W. H. J. Millay, rector of St. Norbert’s college, Dr. W. J. Frawley of Appleton, Max L. Franc, president of the Holy Name society of St. Joseph’s congregation; L. L.

She tried daring passes and partially succeeded. She tried end runs and made some gains. But—she did not try the line. The “Green” wall was too much for the Blues from Chicago. The fourth period found several new faces in De Paul’s line up. Passes were attempted but De Paul was fighting against the Juggernaut. That very name was sufficient to spell defeat. The powerful Juggernaut desired another touchdown. She began in a determined, experienced fashion to shove the ball ahead, ahead, always ahead, and oh! the crowd was aching to get behind and shove too. In the last few minutes Campshure “Swiped” a De Paul pass and oozed through the Blue eleven down to the twenty yard line. Here the ball remained because the game ended just as Malevich started around left end. St. Norberts had won. Yea-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a Then the Collegiate band broke loose. S'wty-Five DU PEREf THE ECHOING ETHER I dreamed I dwelt with the Man-in-the-Moon, On that meteor far away; And it's strange but true That I felt 0 so blue, And wished St. Norbert’s were up there too On that silvery orb to stay. But once when my heart was glum And sadness encompassed me, In the gloomy gloaming I pondered ear-phoning To catch the ethereal voices a-roaming Over the ether sea. When lo! through the silent night The wild waves bore their wail; And I shed a tear As there struck my ear The strains of voices familiar and dear From that far-off earthly pale. Voices Td known and loved; Melodies sweet and low; When they ceased, through the sky Came the startling cry: '‘You're listening o'er Station WHBY To the Peppy Collegians—Let’s go!” Then they pepped and fiddled and drummed; They trumpeted, whistled and hummed; With shrieks and groans From the saxophones, And quivering notes from the sad trombones, While I sat with rapture stunned. They chased away my gloom With their music of wondrous tune; But I longed to share This fun from the air, So I tossed my radio-phones up there To my pard, the Man-in-the-Moon. He donned them smilingly For a radio-bug was he. Then his big eyes danced, And he seemed entranced As he swayed with the music and jigged and pranced, A-laughing merrily. But I’m dreaming dreams no more As I tell this tiny tale; Yet I’m wondering these days If the ether waves Ascend to pierce the starry maze, Or echo through the heavens uncharted ways With their wild and weirdsome wails. —Jimmy Flynn.

No doubt you have somewhere seen or heard the old saying: “Enuf is as good as a feast.” Money has never made a man happy yet; nor will it, because there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of its satisfying his desire it strengthens that desire.” If it satisfies one want, it doubles and trebles that want in another way. Was there ever a truer proverb of the wise man than, “Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure and trouble therewith.” DEJ PEREf (=f=t= = ® The Photograph Hear me, my lads, if you have time. I’ve here a tale that’s put in rime; A story true—’tis nought but true— Perhaps of interest to you. There was a student in our school (Though not conceited nor a fool) Who sought some way to fix his name Within the walls of lasting fame. He was a hero, as heroes are; For gridirons claimed him as a star. Young damsels too would often fight, When Toby’s form came into sight. Now Toby had a photograph (Tis not jocose, so do not laugh) ’Twas picturing nature’s best In beauty, form and all the rest. Our Toby, with a scheme well planned, Set out, with courage, to expand His favor in the public eye; A motive good, none can deny. He took the cherished piece of art For it was dearest to his heart, To Lang’s, the druggist of the day, To have it placed on proud display. The following day our Toby found A group of tittering girls around The stand that shows some witty lines, And also funny valentines.

For hunting stories often exceeded the size of the game bagged, (especially when either or both of them told the stories. Hardly woke up at midnight one night and looked out into his own back yard.

Then the hunter de luxe turned on the light and saw that he had killed one of the neighbors’ rabbits. Stansilaus went north to hunt deer.

When the first rays of dawn lighted the bay two hunters settled themselves down in a blind and waited for the ducks which must surely come to be shot by the guns of such renowned big game hunters as France and Rearguard. A duck quacked out on the hay. Two hunters climbed into one canoe and rowed silently toward the unsuspecting flock. Having arrived dose enough to the intended victims, both men began firing at the same instant. They emptied their guns, chandlers and magazines, into the flock. And yet no duck flew.

Seeking to be rich in speech, you will find that in the broad ocean of our literature there are pearls of great price, our potent English words; words that are wizards more mighty than the Scotch magician; words that go down the century like battle cries; words that sob like litanies, sing like larks, sigh like zephyrs, shout like seas. Seek amid our inexhaustible stores and you will find words that flash like the stars of the frosty skies; or are melting and tender like Love’s tear-filled eyes; words that are fresh and crisp like the mountain breeze in autumn, or are mellow and rich as an old painting; words that are sharp, unbending and precise like needle points, or are heavy and rugged like great nuggets of gold; words that are glittering and gay like the face of a virgin. Search and you shall find words that crush like the battle-ax of Richard, or cut like the scimitar of the Arab; words that sting like a serpent’s fangs, or soothe like a mother’s kiss; words that reveal the nether depths of Hell, or point out the Heavenly heights of purity and peace; words that can reveal a Judas; words that reveal the Christ. —. . S. DES PEREZ t = =r- The World's Steam Shoveling'Weight Championship Wrestling Match It was on the morning of July 4 as I was out shoveling the sidewalks, for it had been thundering all night. The postman’s whistle was “silently heard,” and I ceased shoveling for the time being. I presumed, unless miscalculations could again have their wav. that the “sirenic” notes meant a little love call from some “palooka” whom 1 had known, when 1 was a brown derby, cigar in the mouth, big checked suit, box fight promoter. I guessed right, and when 1 opened the letter, I found my battlin’ eye nearly equaling Nick Altrock’s during the season of ’23. The letter was from Lacks “Lex” Ricardo, the phantom gold digger of Madison Spare Bargain, New York. He wanted mo to referee the World’s Steam Shovel-Weight Championship Wrestling Match. The contestants were “Brute” McCole, champion, and Fritz Jacobs, the leader of Chicago’s Classy Gunmen’s Gang. 1 immediately embarked for New York and was in time to catch the “Brute” powdering his trainer’s nose in the resin. “Lex” brought the principals before me for instructions. I told them it was a catch-as-catch-can affair, barring rolling falls, pin falls, and the like. Any unfair methods or tactics would be treated by the State, that was to send a body of 1500 militia to preserve order. I looked over the principals and found that the “Brute’s” beard was too much to handle with a shears and only a barbed wire fighting apparatus could be used in finding a path through it. After this defense was removed, the weighing-in took place. file “Brute” weighed in at 370 pounds and held a slight advantage of 214 pounds over his opponent Fritz, who tipped the beam at 156 pounds. The fight was on. Fritz clawed the ears of his heavier opponent with all the ferocity of a tiger trying to caress a sweet little fawn, ’file “Brute’s” ear looked like a mixture of frozen tomatoes and baked beans, and the “Brute” started his famous Flying Mare. Fritz side-stepped, feinted, clawed at his opponent’s mid-riff, and with all the agility and ferocity of a half-starved tiger, started to melt the “Brute” down to naught. The “Brute” came back with a kick on Fritz’s equator, which seemed to lack speed but not distance. Herr Fritz was found in Row 2, second Gallery. He came back looking as groggy and worn out as the prodigal son. Then he started in. With twenty minutes to go, I urged the contestants to put a little blood in it as the cash customers were ready to take the shark. Fritz feinted with his left and grabbed the bewildered “Brute” around the button, throwing him to the mat, and then applied his famous “Boston Split.” The trick worked. “Brute” was as anxious for the “out” as Fritz himself. He suffered so intensely and Fritz was anxious to have him suffer some more. After counting the “Brute” out, I introduced the new champion to the enthusiastic and frantic fans. The ovation that Fritz received was more like that of the Prince of Wales beating up Harry Wills in the “White Hope” series. The fight was very tame and outside of minor injuries both fighters emerged from the ring bearing only small signs of a tornado. Fritz had two eyes that reminded one of Easter eggs, both in size and color. His left leg was broken in three places, his nose was flatter than a tube of last year’s tooth paste and his right arm was three times as thick as his left and twisted enough to remind one of the good old “Port” tobacco of by-gone days. The “Brute’s” left ear was torn off and he was trying to replace it. His right ear was the size of a tomato as pictured in a seed catalog; three fingers on his right hand were bitten off; his chest was a gory sight; his right knee cap was resting on his ankle, and five of his fifteen teeth were missing. Truly he was a wondrous sight. Having, therefore, finished my job, 1 departed to the. land of the freeze and the home of the grave. “Puda Srhroi tlrr. •rUITV. BRUfE' MCKOLE. Hundred Thre, From Numbskull to Nursemaid or, The Woes of an Amateur Guardian Many are the woes of men in responsible positions! Scarcely had I returned t� school this year when I found myself manager of the college annual, the Des Peres. Hot knowing how to manage myself, to say nothing of a school publication’s business, left me in a quandary. But unwilling to admit ignorance, I accepted the post with the woe ful consequences of which you will read more in a minute. Just as things began to look as if there would be nothing to the job, the editor-in-chief accosted me and informed me that someone would have to take Mr. McCole, the advertising manager, out in search of advertisements (he told me that McCole was ah-solutely not responsible for anything that he did; in fact Mr. Hubert had himself acted as McCole’s guardian the year previous). One look at the man in question convinced me that the editor was right; and, being soft-hearted by nature, I agreed to act as hi nursemaid. When the next Thursday came around, my charge and I set out for the fair city of Green Bay. Arrived there we entered a Doctor’s office. An electric fan wafted to our nostrils the ‘aroma de la cologne.' I heard a noise behind me and looked around. There was this fellow, McCole, just a minute before as inert as inertia itself, struggling to fret himself from my grasp. “Come along!” I yelled. “Wait a minute!” he begged, “I want to see if my tie’s on straight.” And the dude stopped to readjust his tie and would have combed his hair if I hadn't dragged him in that office. There she sat, behind a desk, smiling fit to set any man’s heart going just a trifle fast. In her left hand she held a compact while with her right she applied a powder-puff to her nose. She sort of halted me right there and I stood looking at her. Then she looked up and I bowed politely. But, as I did so, something whizzed past me. 1 looked to see what it could be and you can call me a liar if it wasn’t that McCole himself. And so it went all morning, when there wasn’t a good-looking stenographer in sight he was as dead as King Tut; but when there was one, he was right there. Noon came. We were hungry . Of course I had the money myself, seeing as howl knew that this fellow McCole didn’t know how to use it. So I ordered two dinners and tried to make a date with the waitress for Mr. McCole, he being too bashful, almost When I had disposed of the first dinner I ordered another. Then I ate the second one. Then I pulled my chair back and looked at McCole. ' There he sat, looking through those horn-rimmed glasses of his and his dinner was untouched. I looked to see what fascinated him so. It was a little waitress carrying a tray full of dishes. A heavy sigh escaped my lungs and he looked over at me. There’s no use in talking harsh to some people, and I just requested him to eat his dinner. But before he went ahead I took off his glasses so that he couldn’t see any more waitresses. He finished his dinner in a hurry and we sold an add yet that afternoon at a place where he went to visit one of his intimate friends of the opposite sex. On the way home I said to him: “Well, we didn’t sell so many adds, did we?” He looked up, uncomprehendingly, and said quizzically: ‘Were we out selling adds?” I took him under my sheltering wing on a half dozen trips and then, giving up in despair, turned him over to Frank Rowe. -Adrian E.

It is the winsome reflection of life, which is the most interesting thing in the world (toto orbe terrarum). But American literature, to Americans, is a means to know and more fully appreciate America. It is precious, not because it compares with the great literature of other lands, but because it is our own,—a true reflection of American spirit, of American patriotism, of American ideals. But,—people of our beloved free land, do we really appreciate our own American literature? Do we realize the earnest love written in every word of our literature, the appeal to American manhood—the moral aim and endeavor of all our writers? Then, why is it that some Americans will not and can not appreciate it? Since our American literature is such a beacon light in history, and the American writers are truly the exponents of literature, why do some of us show a keener appreciation of English poets? I, as a member of the English Survey class, urge all true Americans to foster a deeper love, a true appreciation, and a kindlier interest in our own American poets.

Page One Hundred T A Sunday on a Trout Stream I have often tried to imagine a year composed of weeks entirely devoid of Sun-jays, but have found this train of thought to be so manifestly impossible and unreasonable as to preclude any further futile speculations upon the subject. Sunday is an indispensable institution; it washes from the souls of men the accumulated dust of the week, and allows them to don along with their meeting-clothes a holiday attitude of smiling good-will. No one appreciates the Sabbath more than my good friend Sir Roger. He is the pillar of the Church in his village, being the landlord of all the parishioners and the sole support of the minister who tends to their spiritual needs. But Roger is more than this. He is in addition, an enthusiastic devotee of Isaac Walton, and very often the music of a woodland stream calls him with greater insistency than do the psalms of the congregation. On such an occasion as this he will call upon the minister on Saturday-night, present him with a text for the morrow's sermon, and in an offhand way inform him that he cannot possibly attend services because of very urgent business. At this the minister smiles knowingly, (but not while Sir Roger is looking), and promises to do his best to make the services a success even though Sir Roger is absent. Some weeks ago one of Sir Roger’s servants presented me with a note which asked me to come to the knight’s house sometime Saturday afternoon for very urgent business. Also, it would be well to fetch along waders, and a fly-box and rod, in case of accident. As I am not such a sincere Church-man as Sir Roger I gladly accepted the invitation, and suffered no qualms of conscience because of missing services. Sir Roger is with fishing as he is with everything else; his sincere earnestness and thoroughness make up for what he lacks in proficiency. Seen on a trout-stream on a Sunday morning he looked more like an angler than did Isaac Walton himself. From the button of his sportsman's cap to the soles of his patented waders he represented the ideal accoutrement of the gentleman angler. His equipment was in keeping with his costume. His array of flies included every make which had appeared on the market, from the quiet and unassuming Dusty Miller to gorgeous creations in oriental and barbaric hues which surely surpassed the wildest dreams of the average trout. His rod was a model of bamboo craftsmanship, slender and supple as a Damascan blade. I had fished with Sir Roger twenty-seven times before, and during these trips I had heard exactly twenty-seven dissertations on the merits of his rod relatively compared to “pole” which I was using. He would gaze with pity upon my meagre array of lures, reliable though they were. It was one of the knight’s creeds that no one could be a complete angler unless he possessed complete equipment. The fact that I was usually burdened with the heavier creel on the homeward trip made not a particle of difference. An angler is not to be judged by the size of his catch, but by the equipment used and deportment displayed in luring the trout to the creel. Perhaps some day I would realize this, but until that day arrived Sir Roger would patiently resign himself to my crudities and earnestly pray for the change to be accomplished. Arriving back at the estate I would compose myself for a well-earned rest. This comfort Sir Roger’s tender conscience denied him; before he could relax he must first speak to the servants and by judicious questioning learn how the services had been carried out during his absence—whether all had joined in the singing, who had fallen asleep during the sermon, and countless other questions which so intimately concerned him as a pillar of the church. Upon hearing the report he would sink tiredly into his easy chair beside me, groan disconsolately and gravely inform me: “I’m sorry, but this will be my last Sunday fishing trip. I must stay at home in the future and care for my people.” Then I would smile a little, because I had heard the same thing twenty-seven times before. — A. atcinmetz.

Page One Hundred Fourth Tenth Meeting-- Minutes of the Mock Trial At five minutes after eleven, Wednesday morning, February 24, the members of St. Augustine's Literary and Dramatic Society were in their respective places waiting for the commencement of the mock trial. A devout prayer recital opened the meeting. Immediately afterwards the minutes of the previous meeting were read and accepted. Mr. Schnitxler was then admitted to the society amid a thunderous volley of hand-clapping. The students settled back in their seats and patiently waited for court to open. George “Auburn” Beth officially opened the court with a dramatic “Hear Ye, Hear Ye. Vincent Loehr, a prospective juryman was excused at once because of excessive understanding.

Judge Schwalback arose and, in a legal tone, read the charge: “That Harry Thompson. after completing his musical education under Prof. Gysbers, went to one Frank Doyle and imparted his musical knowledge to said Frank Doyle.” Henry Berendsen, a Green Bay boy, was called to the stand. While Mr. Gerrits, the counsel for the plaintiff was cross-examining Berendsen Mr. Gariepy, counsel for the defense, objected most vigorously to the questions. Judge Schwalback stroked his iron gray beard thoughtfully for a few minutes and then overruled Counsel Gariepy’s objection. Berendsen rapidly testified that good music is like good whiskey. J. N. Hasten appeared on the stand next. As he was the star witness, everyone in the audience leaned forward and “sprained” their ears in an attempt to hear the evidence won forthcoming. Basten indignantly denied that he ever knew Prof. Gysbers. Counsel Gerrits began questioning Mr. Basten but gave up after learning that Norman’s grandmother was only nineteen years old. Counsel Gariepy now strode forward and made a hair-raising, blood-curdling plea to the jury. Sheriff Beth had a lively time prodding the dozing jurymen into a state of wakefulness. Gerrits, as a last resort, pleaded with the judge about the truth of Gariepy’s statements. Gariepy went into a frenzy of gestures and scared the hangman “Tobie” Lackner off the stage. Gariepy’s actions were screamingly funny. Gerrit’s turn came and he pleaded so pathetically that Sheriff Beth cried like an infant babe. During the verbal explosions the jurors sat absent-mindedly by. The two counsels nearly came to blows when Gerrits screamed: Humanity save us from that jazz hound.” The poor defendant Mr. Thompson, was visibly weakening under the mental strain. Bloodthirsty Mr. Gariepy edged his way around behind the witness stand and jumped on Mr. Gerrits. The two went down, locked in a deadly embrace, rolling, tossing, heaving, kicking, squirming, and struggling dangerously close to the delicate, costly scenery. It took some time before Sheriff Beth could separate them. By this time all the jurymen were awake so Judge Schwalback grasped such an opportunity and sent them out to agree on a verdict. Upon re-entering the courtroom, Mr. Gerald McCole brother of the Famous “Brute” McCole was attacked by the ferocious Mr. Gariepy. The decision was unanimous in favor of an indefinite postponement of execution. This ended the trial before any fatalities occurred. Mr. Basten moved that the society adjourn. Nobody seemed to bear a grudge against Norman so the “Ayes” won. With the Angelus ringing the meeting was closed. One min'd Fifteen DEi PERE.T £$= = =5 % Friendship Grieving {To my College Friends) Oh, stay, kind Sir, and give me ear; You're aged and wise, my questions hear. You've lived for many years I know; What's friendship but a passing show? I’m young in years, but hark! to-night I feel all spent with life’s long fight. My thoughts invade the past—Oh how I think of friends—where are they now? I’m young I say, but ne'ertheless Within me here strong longings press. I see a. face and hear kind lips; I reach to touch—away it slips. Now lad, now lass, I’ve met and loved; Then came cruel time which rudely shoved Me from my dearest friends apart, And left me yearn with burning heart. Oh say, aged man, why make fast friends, When time comes ’tween—the bindings rends Why nod and tie fair friendship’s knot, When parting hands despoil the lot? Oh speak, kind Sir, since you have heard; Make answer to my spoken word. You’re good and wise with years I ween: What’s friendship but an idle dream. Then youth to age more closely moved, To list a child to counsel proved; While age collected thoughts to speak Wise answer to this question meek. At last from out of silence’s smoke A low sound came; the good man spoke. From falt’ring lips these words fell soft To lift the saddened soul aloft: I’ve lived a life of grief and joy, And oft I thought like you, my boy; My closed eyes see a host of faces; And lifting lids this host effaces. My heart cries out for friends I’ve made. They answer not; in graves they’re laid. They answer not; o’er seas they sail. They sprinkle lands: they write no mail. '‘-‘hr,, ftr vrnlrrn DEJ PERE.T The morning light fused soul with soul; Hearts ope’d to hearts ’neath friendship’s role. But evening shades confusion brought; And partings’ sorrow sorely fought. And warm tears swelled where glee had danced, Where laughter played, grief cruelly pranced; The self-same soul dolorous lay That shortly since had been so gay. Tis then 1 thought like you, my lad, And questioned whether 1 was mad; To ponder where was friendship’s joy. Was it deceit; was it a toy? To judge the sea, its beaut’ous calm Wail till it rage, its stormy qualm Has neptune stilled; and left it lay Serene and smooth, in peace so gay. Nor in a storm well out at sea, Where land is not and sailing’s free; Would sailors when the seas are high The ocean’s depth to measure try. So must we calm the human heart, So ease its swellings; soothe each smart; And when its surgings quiet rest For its deepest feelings quietly test. You sit with me; let’s think of pals; Be they fair lads or fairer gals. Oh, think of times we each have had In joyful play with lass and lad. Oh, think of schoolmates kind and true, Of jolly times, of mischief too; And think how youth together clung And care to all the winds had flung. You live again with friends long gone, ' You laugh with them and chatter on; You smile I see, your heart is free To sing a song in ’wakened glee. O, wonder-working mind of man That past’s long dying fires can So quickly fan to flame anew, And life restore in varied hue. DEX PcREi 0 barren would our days all be If friends were ta’en from you and me; Though partings steal the flesh and blood, Affection stays our souls to flood. 0 mem'ry! what great power’s thing! You make stilled hearts to beat with mine; You make the dead to walk and speak, And press warm kisses ’gainst my cheek. And you console the grieving soul; For death is not its final goal. You whisper life to come to me Where friends will meet and happy be. o cease, kind man, your speech has scattered night; Peace reigns supreme, and once more Friendship bright With me walks smiling down life’s winding ways, Increasing joys and bright’ning darksome days. —H. Hubert. A Floating Ghost Captain Morsey was a retired sea captain. Years ago, he had discovered an in� -mense fortune in the form of pearls. Of late, wearied of travel, he had been pondering upon the question, whether or not to get married. He finally succumbed, and after a lon : honeymoon, he and his wife settled down in a large mansion, situated in the country, and nearly surrounded by adjacent woods, with the broad expanse of a large lake in front. They lived happily and peacefully for a few years until the sea began to call the captain. He was unable to resist the call, and, after a few tearful scenes with his wife, he answered it, alone. He left upon what was to be a few weeks cruise and never returned. After a few years, when the sorrow was somewhat abated, Mrs. Morsey relapsed into a state of melancholy and long periods of silence, during which she went about with a vacant stare in her eyes. Often too, she would start and gaze about the room, only to relapse into her former state. It was during one of these periods that the fifth anniversary of the captain's death occurred. The lake in front of the house was unusually violent. The flashes of lightning and peals of thunder followed each other in rapid succession. Above all could be heard the dismal wail of the wind as it swept through the dense foliage of the wood , bending the trees as if by an unseen hand. Mrs. Morsey was at dinner. She was unusually silent and staring that night, a fact about which the servants whispered fearfully. Suddenly above the noise of the tempest rose a voice, in which rang the awful hollowness of the tomb. The words were at first indistinguishable, but they became more distinct. The words were these: “It floats—it floats—it floats.” Mrs. Morsey, hearing these words, suddenly rose up out of her chair and, pointing to something in mid-air, she screamed, “It floats. I see it On the waves, and so white. Oh, God, it floats.” She gazed wildly about the room. Her gaze rested on the large carving knife. Grabbing it, she cut her throat. The servants who had rushed in at her screams, now vacated without ceremony, and from that time on, no one had the courage to enter the house, even to give the body of Mrs. Morsey a decent burial. Persons passing the house reported the house haunted by a skeleton, which passed about mumbling, “It floats—it floats—it floats.” 2 Several years later, a group of college students, passing through a nearby village heard of the house and decided to investigate. When they entered the house they were greeted by a damp, musty odor. The dust lay several inches thick but the spots upon the table and floor where the blood had fallen were fresh and dustless. Passing this with a shudder, they left the dining room and entered the parlor where lay the body of Mrs. Morsey, exactly where it had fallen when she rushed from the dining room, after stabbing herself. The skeleton was also devoid of dust. As night was already descending, and the weather was warm and fair, the students decided to sleep on the porch. They lay down on stone, and finding it uncomfortable, they could not go to sleep, but remained awake, awaiting developments. About twelve o’clock, a “clack, clack, clack,” was heard. The noise seemed to be coming from the side of the house. Then, from around the corner came a skeleton, walking on the large stone railing of the porch. As it approached, the boys heard a mumbling sound, emanating from the fleshless jaws. It continued its walking and mumbling until it was opposite the boys. Then turning, it pointed a long bony finger at the boys and said, “It floats—it floats—it floats.” One boy, a little more courageous than the rest asked in a whisper, “What floats?” The skeleton replied in its sepulchral voice, “IVORY SOAP.” THE END . — H. S. One Hundred ' ilu� 4red Ttrrnl)hO)ic The Most Interesting Girl I Know Yes—I know her—at least 1 am quite sure I do, but then again who really can say he knows a girl, with all her whims, fancies, and, dare I say it—foolish ideas! For all that, she appeals to me, not because she is startlingly beautiful; not because she is an heiress; not because she owns a car; but—«for the safe and sane reason that she is a friend in the real sense of the word. Always smiling, possessing a keen sense of humor, she is at once the center of attraction wherever she may happen to be. Whether or not she knows me, it is difficult to say. At least I have persuaded her to believe me when I speak. In fact, I have so utterly convinced her of my honesty that she clings to my every utterance with the surety that I an some relative of the Oracle of Delphi. With this fact in my favor I don't have to waste precious time in preliminaries whenever. I go to call on her. The minute she hears my first footfall at the front door, out she rushes with her white poodle, “Fluffy,” and 1 always manage to get in safely. As an entertaining conversationalist I have never found her equal. This characteristic seems to run in the family as her mother is also an excellent talker. The rest of the family are minor characters as far as I am concerned, as I’m interested mainly in the girl. Yet 1 have to consider her mother as a matter of course, as she is the one to be reckoned with at all times. To get back to more interesting ground, she always manages to keep me well supplied with smokes, drinks and sweets, which is another point in her favor.. May she ever continue thus! How long I shall be on the right side of her remains to be seen. However, from present indications the inevitable might result as soon as 1 get a position whereby two can exist for the price of one. Like the good girl she is, she has offered to get her father to help me, but I would never stand for it. If I can’t provide for her with my own hands, then her father can keep her. Right now I have a glimpse of the future. I am just coming home from the office after a trying day. As I pull up at the curb, there she stands at the door in a dainty gingham apron, and—Betty Jane and Bobbie running down the steps—Oh, my! —.J. Me. An Important Element in Society The importance of the conservative element in society, which is a characteristic of old age, is very often not fully realized. The more mature individuals of every community regardless of their social standing, political influence, or commercial success, are generously wasting their valuable advice and timely warning upon the younger, more enthusiastic and progressive members of society. Having withstood the springtime frosts and the summer’s heat of life, they are now ripened by age and experience and are swaying in the autumnal breeze, like the mighty oak, in a plane of their own. They foresee the dangers into, which the younger generation is driving the world at an accelerated speed; they are the only ones who can successfully apply the brakes. Skill and age go hand in hand. So keen is their perception of the various aspects connected with any station in life, that they can assume the role of social prophets and preach before a kneeling audience. Their experience has taught them wonders; anything that has not come within their jurisdiction is wrong. Consequently they are opposed to all innovations in social life1 and are waging war in behalf of by-gone days when pomp and splendor were unknown. How we are not to have been living during that blissful period. Boys were then so obedient that they always obtained the consent of their mothers before asking the permission of their fathers; men were so opposed to style that they wore swallow-tailed coats and spring-bottomed trousers; women were such enemies of fashion that they adorned their ears with rings in order to improve their eyesight. And needless to say, the sun never set behind a cloud for fear it would be accused of being stylish. —M. Killeen. Page One Hundred Tion fT DEi PERET MARCH—1926 r. 1 P.

Why must the critics and the public wait until poets lie molding in their graves before their works meet well merited recognition and appraisal? Every age is mirrored in the literature that it produces. How then, eu any wide-awake American who wishes to be alive to the conditions and the spirit of hia own time, neglect to make a careful study of those contemporary writings that so ably give them literary expression. If he desires to sound the times in which he lives let him read poets who have sounded them before him. I have enjoyably read several such authors, and though not setting myself up as an authority, I have yet faithfully written down my opinions, moldcn while the spell of their works was still upon me, and while inspirations arising ever anew out of them guided my pen. The sands of time, slowly aggregating from all parts of our nation, have finally formed the outstanding modern American poet, Carl Sandburg. He is a perfected instrument well fitted to sound even those feelings which lie deeply hidden in the heart of great many people. He does not look up at Mt. Olympus for his inspiration, but surveys with an observient eye, the common, struggling multitude. Out on the vast prairies, in sweltering cornfields and amidst the noise and bustle of our smoky cities, he sees men and women bending beneath heavy burdens, toiling and sweating their lives away. In their faces he reads of blank despair and of a sullen submission to the will of fate. He not only sees existing evils but speaks of more to come: “Take a look, wars to come; red rivers to cross: Black horizons come up, Black horizons kiss me.” The following lines are truly a remarkable expression of what in these busy times is lacking in so many people: “And so many stars and so few hours to dream; Such a big song and so little a footing to stand and sing.” Sandburg advocates reform. His words, his marked departure from accepted forms of meter and rime, his choice and treatment of his subjects, all go to verify this statement. If his verses lack harmony, if they lack a certain musical flow and artistic finish, it is because our modern times are out of tune, and because they are indifferent to the value and beauty of music and art in literature. Carl Sandburg writes of the people and for the people, giving skillful expression to their sentiments. For this reason more than for any artistic touch to his productions, is he considered the greatest and most American of our late poets. Carl Sandburg, then, has laid bare many existing pains and wounds, but he has done little to mitigate them. To do this is the mission of another great-hearted, deep-sighted man. In the midst of wrangling and fighting, he preaches a gospel of peace; he speaks of contentment where all is discontentment, and of love where all is bitter hate. He knows the prevalent grievances and sorrows, and tries to make them less. He sees the distressed, and attempts not to plunge them deeper into trials and tribulations but to raise them up to a plane beyond the reach of torture, where they may come under the influence of nobler things. He brings courage to the discouraged, cheer to the cheerless; he is doing his best to effect the downfall of King Grouch and to establish the reign of the King of Smiles. He uses the language of the street but yet reaches and sounds the souls of his readers, comforting and ennobling them. His words are meat and drink and soothing strains of music to starving, thirsting, bleeding hearts. Such a poet, indeed is John V. A. Weaver, and in his sphere he is surpassed by none. The following lines are very characteristic of him: Page One Hundred OEJPEREf “Lets don’t be like the others—scared or sour, Forgettin’ that life wasn’t always slow, Growlin’ at fun and dancin’ and happy laughin’, Snoopin’ and spyin’ ’round, and snarlin’, Promise that you’ll be different!—not like them!— Fight for the ways of seein’ fresh and true! Keep all you can of what the world meant to you When you was young, and life was real—and new! Man, busied to-day with the cares of city life, is drawing farther and farther away from nature. Automobiles have made our farms increasingly more susceptible to a city-like atmosphere. There is a tendency to forget that we arc sprung from a race of courageous, strong-willed huntsmen, pioneers and hardy tillers of the soil. The call of the wild which drew them with such great magnetic force to risk the perils of an un broken wilderness, seems to have but a feeble, dying influence over us, dwelling apart from woods and lakes, rivers and streams and the wild life that they harbor. There is danger that many of nature's treasures will remain secret when they should not remain so. In the midst of this crisis, as it were, a man steps into the limelight, as “the friend in need.’’ He is a product of out-door life, a true offspring of Mother Nature. He had played about her feet; he had nestled in her lap; he has listened with straining ears to her thousand-and-one soul-stirring stories. She had unlocked to him her hidden treasure chests; she had shown him beauties and charms, pictures and visions to which the ordinary man is blind. Such was the teacher, and such was the training of Lew Sarett. Already he has done much in the fulfillment of his mission by uncovering and immortalizing (by means of his pen) many of the fading glories and passing wonders so prevalent in our country in the days when it lay, like nature’s vast paradise, unpolluted by the progress of civilization. We like his poems because they stir within us that latent spirit of our ancestors that had thrilled at the sight of those scenes so deftly pictured by this son of the northern woods. We find a great deal of comfort in his remarkable little poem, “The Great Divide,” which so pleasantly and yet so effectively lessens the awful fear of death. He says; “When I drift out on the Silver Sea, 0 may it be A blue night With a white moon And a sprinkling of stars in the cedar tree; And the silence of God, And the low call Of a lone bird,— When I drift out on the Silver Sea.” These few lines are sufficient in my estimation to win him a permanent place in our memory. I have discussed very briefly the three leading poets, trying to point out especially what mission each had to fulfill and how far he had fulfilled it. It seems almost an injustice to say that any one of these is greater than the other; for each has done his work so well. They are all great and among them neither one is the greatest. In conclusion let me say this: that no age is complete unless it has a “Sandburg,” a “Weaver,” and a “Lew Sarrett;” a “Sandburg” to point out the evils of the day, a “Weaver” to lessen and to soothe these evils, and a “Lew Sarrett” to interpret and to preserve for us and our posterity those things which are rapidly passing out of our every day life. — .

Ut ' Hundred Thirty-One DEI PERE.T The Nocturnal Escapade of One J. R. “When is J. R. tonight ? inquired tin head of a certain table in the spacious dining hall of a hoys' hoarding school. “Said he had to go to the library to look up something that wasn’t in tin library here.” ventured one of his fellow students. And that was just what A. R. was doing. At least I have never seen what lie was looking up in the library at this school, for the institution is not coeducational. Night spread its pall over the fair city of DePere just as J. R. raised the receiver from its hook in Chili Johns restaurant in a nearby city. The rector of the college noticed the absence of one of his model students at the same time that that student smiled as the wires brought to his ears a soft, gentle voice. An hour later a door-hell in the city of Hreen Bay rang as a student at t nearby college pressed the button and closed the circuit. A few hurried font-steps; the door swung open; two names, breathed simultaneously, and a greeting in the half-lighted doorway. Still another hour and two students glided over the floor as the pianist rendered a “jazz” selection. Just as the master of discipline at the boarding school assured himself that none of his students had gone to the port of missing men J. R. might have been playing ‘‘pleased and displeased.” evidently highly pleased. And why shouldn’t he be? Hadn’t, be and his partners-in-crime devised a set of signals by which they helped each other to obtain the desired partners? And wasn’t their plan working admirably? Midnight found him eating a lunch in company, at least half of which he swore were much easier to look upon than his fellow students, with whom he dined every day. Beside him sat tin possessor of the soft voice. On the other side of him sat another, endowed with a voice justias soft and eyes just as blue as hoi's were brown. When the clock struck the hour he leaned over and whispered in her car. Tis three o'clock in the morning. A student has said good-night to the merry group, and to one in particular; he opens the door of Boyle llall with infinite care, fearing lest it creak on its hinges and wake the ever vigilant master of discipline. Sounds which could not possibly have aroused the most timid mouse fell upon the cars of J. R. like the thundering of a cataract. 11 is heart pounded against his ribs and his breath came in gasps as he stepped across the threshold. All night long he had been out in “No Man's Land;” now he was entering hostile territory, and that without scouts to precede him. Whenever a grain of sand gritted his shoe and the floor he cursed it for being there. Once he fancied that he saw a white-robed figure moving along the hallway. Boor J. R.! He stood still on the same spot for fully six minutes, and that is no easy task when one is in enemy territory. A dormitory door opened slowly, very slowly. A tardy student, a model student and withal a fearfully timorous student, insinuated himself into the room. lie removed his clothes in the darkness, lie removed them in haste. A bed-spring groaned as he slid in between the sheets. An alert ear in the hallway overheard the spring's protest and a white-robed guardian of youth entered the room to investigate. The lights were snapped on and revealed only slumbering students. Even J. R. simulated sleep so successfully that the investigator left. Small wonder is it. then, that he sighed a sigh of relief and smiled a smile of satisfaction as he rolled over to lose himself in much needed slumber. Adrian E. Gerrits.

Well, being a young man then, not unlike other lads of my age, 1 had a jjirl and no finer girl lived than my Nance, at least' before the thrilling, vea- disastrous. ride of which 1 am about to write. This was in 91. Sunday night came and. of course, I had to see Nance. So I hitched up my dads best horse to the buggy, and being all “dolled up.” I proceeded on my fateful journey, intending to get Nance and take her for a long ride. I had also made up my mind to “pop the question.” Oh, what a perversity of fate! Little did I know how that ride would culminate! Of course. Nancy was ready, so 1 helped her in the buggy and drove oil , happy as a lark and sure of winning my quest. We drove along the lake shore, under the majestic pines. 'Hu moon was shining dimly, a typical lovers moon, sending down its mellow light on the limpid water’s of that placid lake. 1 looked at Nance, there she was, as thrilled and as lovable as Cleopatra herself. A slight tremble on her lips, a flaint flush on her cheek. Ah, I thought, now is the time. “Nance,” I said, “I-I-I have, 1 have. Oh. I-I-I love you.' A profound silence in which we both took part for almut five minutes. My horse stopped and started tranquilly to graze and mope. By the way. this critter's name also happened to be Nance. At length I stirred up enough courage to look at Nance: she was all a flutter. Having started I decided to see it through, so I made another start: “Nance, I love you more than life. Nance. I go on my knees, here under the peaceful moon, by this shimmering lake, J-I, w-want to ask you. will-will-will you m-m-marry me?” Nance turned and said: “This is ’ but just then Nance turned sharply, broke a thill, the stub prodded her in the ribs and she galloped down the road in a perfect runaway. Buggy, Nance and I went sailing through space and descended rapidly on tin placid surface of that limpid lake. Nance went pell moll down the road. 1 shouted “Whoa Nance”, and being young I added a few bitter invectives. Well. I helped Nance out of the lake, and Nance having gone ahead, Nance and I had to walk home, a sore and damp pair. 1 contented myself in being angry at Nance for the manner in which she unceremoniously precipitated Nance and me into the lake. We arrived at her home feeling rather jubilant again. “My (ioodness! What has happened to ye young scalawags, said Nance’s mother. Well, Nance informed the folks of our mishap, of course omitting the love scene. 'I hen being a young man, I proceeded to make a first class fool of myself, which queered me forever with Nance. I said: “If that “hammer-headed” Nance had any sense and acted half-ways decent, we’d never have taken that spill.” “What!” her mother screamed, “Do you mean to say my Nance has no sense, that she's indecent ! Leave my house at once!” Of course I meant my horse Nance. I said “I didn't mean you I meant Nance, mv — .” The enraged matron said, “Of course you didn’t mean me, you said Nance, get out and stay out!” In a frenzy of despair 1 said, “Nance, you know what I mean.” And my Nance screamed, “Yes, you liar, •jo! And the well directed rolling pin from the well trained arm of the infuriated mother hounded off my head as I went. — if oh n ('ii slum in.

My first idea of books was anything but a pleasant one. I had started school when nearly eight years old and my mother wishing me to make up time used to give me a reading lesson every night. I still remember that little reading lesson hook and remember it as the most tedious of printed works 1 have ever read. Tasso and the Xiebelungenlied excepted. That I learned to read was certainly no fault of mine. I grew to detest books and everything resembling them. Rut forced to my task I finally learned and learned quite well, (again through no fault of mine) and won the coveted honor of a few words of praise from my teachers. This spurred me on to greater efforts and with praise came greater proficiency and also a greater love for books. I next began to read the retold stories from Dickens. I was quite familiar with Little Nell and her pork chops before I could understand the headlines on a newspaper. But the next period of my reading was perhaps not so complimentary to my literary taste. I read,—in fact, I fairly chewed up volume after volume of hunting, trapping and Boy Scout stories. “With Trapper dim In The North Woods made a decided hit with me and I must say that I recall more of that story than 1 do of Milton which I read last year. My entrance into High School stimulated me to read something a little more worth while. I liked Dickens. His stories seem to me to have something cheerful about them and while I realize that the lessons which he points out will perhaps never justify us in considering him a moral force, nevertheless I enjoy the air of comfortable cheer which permeates bis work. The dignified satire of Thackeray is not as enjoyable although more delicate and refined. Last year I read Milton. In all of my readings I must confess to one fault: I frequently read things which I do not enjoy simply because I have felt it a duty to read them and to become acquainted with the great books of the world—the books which are most often spoken of as the culmination of literary efforts of the various periods to which they belong. Now Milton’s epics belonged to that class as far as I was concerned. 1 enjoyed bis style. I admired bis learning. I envied his rhythm and I loved his diction but I never could read bis epics without a feeling that I was merely doing something which while disagreeable, was for the best that I was merely taking a stinging sulphur bath for my health. His lyrics and play I enjoyed. Samson Agonistes, I will always remember. I ran over a translation of Tasso last year also but was careful not to read it so seriously that it would assume the tediousness of Milton. I read one work last year that I remember of as really interesting—Irving's “History of New York.” lie has diction which is neither rugged nor unduly fastidious and be flavors it so agreeably with (plaint humor so peculiarly bis own that I feel strangely attracted to him. 1 also read four books of Stevenson's last year.—“The Ebb Tide,” “The Wrong Box.” “Kidnapped. and “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekvll and Mr. Hyde,” all of which gripped me with such interest that I remember Stevenson not as one of the master stylists of our language but as a master story-teller. I enjoyed a translation of Aristophanes’ “Frogs and his “Trial” immensely. Shakespeare I can read with enjoyment and at the same time with the recognition of Shakespeare as one of our greatest literary geniuses. Dante was more interesting to me than Tasso because I had heard a lecture on the former before I undertook to read “Jerusa- (Continued on Page 145) N One Hundred Forty-Three Green Bay Glass Company gTiEFEL 113 S.

Scott’s “Talisman and “Ivanhoo were quite a relief from the dull Imt enjoyable Dante, and a rest which I certainly needed when I undertook Arnold’s “ Essay on Criticism and his “Essay on Translating: Homer. From the latter I believe the only benefit I derived was an increase of will power necessary to keep myself to the discipline of finishing what I had so halfheartedly begun. This year I pondered through a seven-hundred page life of Shakespeare, altout as interesting as just seven hundred pages of the Congressional Record and then rested in a few hundred pages of Dana's “Two Years Before tin Mast. Now I am reading the autobiography of that, old braggart Cellini. Last week 1 read “Sard Darker and count it one of the most interesting books 1 have ever read and as restful as Tennyson whose complete works I read year before last. Since then I have become interested in modern verse and if I ever get the time intend to follow up the subject a little more intensively. -tf. M. V One liuivlred Fmly-Fi vc Robt. L.

In this dream a resplendent scene of ineffable glory opened before me. such as 1 imagine burst upon the enraptured vision of the wandering peri through the opening gates of paradise. I was taken to the land of eternal happiness: I heheld a virgin forest, overhead the azure sky. Ascending a little knoll and looking westward 1 saw a beautiful lake, its translucent waters softly rippling to the balmy zephyrs of a southern wind. The Sun was sinking, transforming the sky into one flaming, seething mass of fire and changing ever and anon into a multitude of colors. Proceeding further I beheld a picturesque cabin sheltered snugly under the protecting arms of a gigantic pine. Further on was a garden embellished with fragrant flowers; Ah, but what did I then see, an angel, a Madonna? Surely more than a mere girl. A girl more beautiful than the most skillful hand of the most accomplished artist could paint. She looked at me. oh. what eyes! In her eyes I saw the limpid waters of that placid lake, in her cheeks the crimson tint of that autumn sunset, in her lips the desirable sweetness of the choicest berry, in her hair the lustrous sheen of finest silk. She spoke to me in a most musical voice; it was like the full diapason of some heavenly organ; it fell upon my ear with peculiar and indescribable charm, like the gentle murmur of a low fountain stealing forth in the midst of roses, or the soft, sweet accents of an angel's whisper in the bright joyous dream of sleeping innocence. With an angelic smile she welcomed me to the land of everlasting beatitude. “ To her lain! of the cedar and cine. Where flit flowers ever blossom, the leans ever shim : Where Hit light wings of zephyr oppressed with perfume. Wax faint o'er the gardens of did in her bloom When the citron and olive are fairest of fruit. And the voice of the nightingale never is mute; Where the tints of the earth and the hues of the sky. In color though varied, in beauty doth vie. But alas. I awoke, and instead of my eyes beholding the land of eternal happiness they saw the white walls of the senior dorm, and instead of glorying in the welcoming smile of a madonna I saw the merry grin of Father Van Dyke as In grabbed my little toe.

Edinburgh and St. James Edinburgh, the famous city of the North, sits hiirli upon the summit of a hill from which she looks down upon a broad expanse of country. Her view of the sea is magnificent. To the oast may he soon at sunset the spark of the Mav lighthouse, where the Firth of Forth gradually expands into the Herman Ocean; and to the west, one may catch sight of the first snows upon Ben Lodi. But Edinburgh suffers greatly for her commanding position by being subject to the vilest of climates under the heavens. She is liable.'to be beaten upon by all the winds that blow and buried in the deep sea fogs rolling in from the east. In winter, the weather is raw and unpleasant and even in summer one cannot make an outdoor date a week in advance. For those who love shelter and sunshine, and hate dark weather Edinburgh is the one place to pass over. Odd it is, yet true, how happy visitors are who have heard for the last time the relentless howl of the east wind as it swirls madly through the streets and whistles among their chimney tops. The Cathedral of St. dames rests quite far down the slope on the smallest of the three hills. The disorder with which the neighboring roof tops rise, one upon another, presents an interesting picture to the traveler. But for all their scrambling they can not attain higher than the knees of St. James, which rises alone, towering and impressive in its solitude. I vividly recall one wintry morning when I was awakened by the full array of sounds pouring forth from the east tower. From my window I counted five bells but their orderly noise was equal to twice that number. I was later in formed that the largest bell had already begun active duty about the time of the Burgh of Edwin’s death. Surely there was an air of nobility, if hells may possess it, in that grand old bell, an appearance of dignity and reverence which comes only with age and association with historic figures. -J.

Wis. 4— H mlred Sixty-Three Caesar's Fate Julius staggered out upon the Via Mainus Draggus. Julius was none other than the famous Caesar and he staggered,—well, to be frank, it was quite common for the habitues of Brutus’ Extremus Cafe to stagger. Poor Julius! A victim of aspirations! The situation can be explained in a few words. The war business was terrible. So army could be found to fight Caesar and his merry men for love or money, so what does he do but appoint himself head prohibition officer (also the only one) of the Roman Empire. Just to show who was boss, he decided to collect some evidence and padlock the Extremus Casus. But alas! and alackaday! Too much enthusiasm is as bad as too little. Caesar collected the evidence where it would be safest; for it is a well known fact that what is in one’s head (or stomach) cannot be stolen. Obviously, the evidence was not in Caesar’s head, and completely forgetting the main object of his visit, he hied himself homeward, wondering why he hadn’t thought to make the streets wider. Hjs faithful frau met him at the door with an enthusiastic storm of sobs. “Oh! Julius,” quoth she. “I told you to pass up that low Brutus. Something tells me lie’s going to put you among those not present. The years are long since rum has come between us.” “Whazzat? Who’s ears are long?” asked the inebriated spouse angrily. Then falling ungracefully to the floor, Julius began imitating a buzz saw realistically. Morpheus claimed our hero. Well, morning came (as mornings do) and Julius set sail for town, with blood in his eye and liquor on his breath, bent on lifting Brutus’ scalp. All might have been well except for one thing. That was his nose, which was built along the well known Roman lines, and of which he was more than proud. It was one of Caesar’s main reasons for leaving the army flat on its back. That handsome appendage put Caesar flat on HIS back. This is how. Walking somewhat unsteadily into the four-story domicile of Brutus (and saying a bad word to the door post for jumping in his way) Caesar pounded loudly on the bar. “Tell your old man that Caesar waits without. Also, you’re gonna be a widow right away, if not sooner.” “Heh! Heh!” retorts the Missus daintily, “You boys MUST play.” Going upstairs, she spoke to the old boy: “Caesar waits without and he can’t wait much longer,” says she. “Without what?” questioned Brute with a dumb look. “Send him up.” Now comes Caesar’s last mistake. Walking into the room he met the not very friendly glances of Brute and his thief assassin, either one of whom would make Bull Montana look like Helen of Troy. “Whadda ya mean by gettin’ me plastered,” snarls Caesar, aiming a hook at Brutus’ chin. Brutus had less than no confidence in his fists and immediately grabs his dirk. To Caesar’s tipsy mind the enemy had designs on his aforementioned classic proboscis. .While taking measures to protect it, he left his ribs open and down went the dirk. “Ow! You did me dirt, Brute.” “Even so,” comes back Brutus; “You tried to put our business on the rocks.” Julius rushed for the window with the praiseworthy intention of yelling bloody murder. Sticking his head out he yelled, “Help”! (Or what have you). Now degraded as the chief assassin might be, he was not appealed to in vain. He “helped” our hero out of the window with his number twelve. (Mental note of passerby). “Julius and Brute must be playin’ something.” When Julius “spread-eagled” from the window, his friend said in a somewhat befuddled manner: “Ya don’t need any help, Julius. Ya did fine all by yerself.” Needless to sav, Julius was a total loss, beyond hope of salvaging. Brutus and his man dashed into the street to see whether the experiment was successful. Concealing a howl of delight, Brutus queried anxiously, “Did he land?” “All at once.” Quoth Brutus, Poor Jules! He would lean outa that window. Well, the least said the soonest mended.” But poor Julius could not be mended. —I). Chamberlain. •This was before it became the custom to toss prohibition officers to the festive lions.

One Hundred-Seventy Jl Spring ZMCorning Occasionally, during spring, you awake in the wee hours of the morning, as if some wonderful intuition were working in you. As you lie there on your back, you shortly are thinking of what the previous days have been to you. what future days will bring you. Then you become aware that the veil of darkness is gradually lifted: objects are faintly discernible in the gray dawn, until even that pallid blanket vanishes. Then everything is as it is: there is no impersonation, no dullness in the immediate surroundings. Everything is plainly visible. Then you hear the crowing of the cock: the almost frenzied exulting song of tin robins. the orioles and other songsters: the happy twittering of the sparrows. To you. lying there, all the birds seem to awake at the same time, making the early morning glorious with their cheerful voices. And finally; to glorify the Creator and Controller of this our vast universe, the sun comes forth in all its resplendent beauty, its beaming rays lighting up the whole scene, coloring it with softer and with more sparkling colors than any human artist can produce. Everything takes on a new life under the effulgent rays of this our largest of luminous bodies. There is a different note in the birds’ song: there is an uplifting of your own spirit, giving you a greater joy than the whole world together could give you. were it all your own. Such is a spring morning. —F. Sivatek. ,),lr Hundred Seventy-One.

Mow long would such an unfortunate being exist ? On the fingers of a single hand his days could be counted. Vet. round about us, or. more truthfully, within us. such harmful cramming in of food goes on. I speak now not of a material food, but of a mental one. Now many of us do not often go from class to class: sit midst the awful classroom silence, broken but by the words of the lecturing teacher, and at long intervals by our own sputtering attempts to answer some perplexing, quickly-flung question, and try to jam into our minds knowledge of tin subject of our study which we so miserably fail to understand ? Philosophy of all kinds, good and bad. ancient and modern, science, history and mathematics we stow away in heaps without purpose or method during a series of forty-five minute instruction periods. Suddenly the bell rings: lessons are immediately forgotten: books are tlesked: and into recreation we joyfully wend our way. and forbear, as if restrained by an oath, to discuss class work again. When do we digest what we have packed into our minds , when do we assimilate it ? When do we thresh out tin good and tin bad. tin useful and tin useless elements? When do we bring obscure points into the light and clothe them with understanding ? When do we systematize and unify the scattered, tangled, disordered mental mass: divide it properly and lock it up. not too safely but within recall, in its fitting place? When do we compare new material with tin old and absorb the former into the latter, purifying, strengthening, augmenting, and perfecting it; giving the old newer and more extensive aspects, increasing the sweep of its scope, lengthening its horizon, and thus giving greater breath and depth to our outlook upon life? Hence, fellow student, let us try to create a spirit that will foster interesting discussions concerning class work on certain appropriate, opportune occasions during tree hours. It is by such friendly discourse and by such frank and free exchange of opinion that the human mind arrives at the true and clear understanding of the subject it is considering. And it is through such a channel that its greatest, most effective development takes place, leading it out into that smooth, wide sea of ample broadmindedness, of equity of thought, of high-moving. altruistic ideas and ideals which result in right and lofty actions and make for a noble, well spent lift . .

Now the adjectives “brilliant and “active are not thoughtlessly tacked-on descriptives, but were chosen with great care and deservedly as this paper will show. In order to make a more vivid painting of the picture I wish to present, follow me into one of our lavoratories on a Thursday morning between eleven and twelve o’clock. Enter with me the gray, steamy atmosphere which at this time is slowly beginning to brighten. Gaze about where you please, your roving eyes will come to rest upon the very object I have brought you to see—a brilliant young man in the making. As yet he lias not donned his silk shirt so that B. V. D.’s and fair pink flesh play hide-and-go-seek from the waist of his balloon trousers upwards. Before the mirror he stands in an acrobatic poise and into one cupped hand pours a small quantity, a mere cupful, of a smooth thicklv-flowly substance. Suddenly his hands flash up and a series of very rapid and contortioning movements follow, all centering upon and careering about his head. Behold! The black silken locks are already in their much disheveled state assuming the lustre which is to appear. In a few minutes the intensive and extensive circulatory rubbing grows less and less fierce. Two forcible final strokes, whose efforts remind one of the last gasps of a dying fish, bring it to a quick stop. A long, black, comb now begins its difficult to and fro journeys through the thickly matted jungle. The obedient hair commences to arrange itself into straight or properly curved lines. Every stroke means to add to it a finer gloss. Slowly, with the utmost care, and with the greatest possible pains, this operation continues until a pair of approving eyes declare it finished. Then turns the splendidly adorned head, which even Venus herself would have envied, and— ‘mirabile visu,” we are face to face with a brilliant, very brilliant young man. His neck, his chin, his lips, his nose, his eyebrows are saturated and shine forth with brilliance. And oh, what a mass of brilliancy fairly shoots up from that glistening black silky hair-covered cranium. You can not help being impressed even as I have so often been impressed by such a brilliant sight. We may as well give thanks that in our highly industrialized, money-mad age, at least a few concerns bother with manufacture of such brilliance, easily accessible to all under such various names as “Brilliantine, “Hair-Groom,” “Stacomb,” etc. Thankful I am too that our present educationad system is so admirably aided by modern commercial progress and that some of our model young men are taking advantage of such wonderful aids to brilliancy. See then how deservedly and appropriately these same gentlemen merit by their faithful adherence to this practice the description “brilliant.” To this conclusion I have led you by a process of direct immediate reasoning. Let me now lead you by indirect, mediate reasoning or, in short, by inference to another conclusion and thus to the justification of my use of the adjective “active” in connection with certain students. Perhaps the actions which I have just taken the pains to describe are sufficient to merit them that description. Yet there is another and more weighty reason. Surely it is not for vanity’s sake that these ambitious students so generously make brilliant their hair with rubbed-in oil. No! Though they be lovers of beauty and servants of the dictum, “Know thyself,” yet they do not seek beauty in themselves. “Admire thyself” is not their slogan. Hark to this. During the week these young men are subject to a multitude of difficult problems. Their brains must function at a high rate of speed in order to devise fitting solutions fast enough. When machinery runs at a terrific pace without timely repeated lubrication, it rapidly becomes worn out. The severe friction causes a tremendously intense heat to arise, which again causes fires to be kindled. Therefore those young men, knowing this well, weekly rub highly lubricating stuff thoroughly into their craniums, making sure that it penetrates deep into the brains and completely saturates them, thus insuring smooth running and high efficiency. Is not their practice, then, most commendabl.v justifiable? And if it is justifiable because of the activity of the gray matter in their heads, do not they well merit the description “active”? And does not this same activity and the means by which it is sustained also strengthen my foregoing argument concerning their brilliancy? I declare myself, then, justified in the use of both adjectives and ask you to toast with me the health, happiness and prosperity of this select group of brilliant and active collegians that move, like the light shedding sun, in our midst. — . 11.

THE FRATRICIDE One evening while I was sitting in my easy chair soliloquizing on a recent quarrel I had with my brother I suddenly heard the footsteps of several persons ascending the stairs. There was a knock and without ceremony, a forced entry! Before I had time to think what this sudden intrusion meant the sheriff and two deputies, with drawn revolvers had placed themselves before me. “Well, so you didn’t have time to make your get-away did you? It is my duty to tell you that you are arrested for the murder of your brother and that anything you say may be used against you?” spoke up the sheriff rather sharply. “Why, what is the meaning of this?” I managed to stammer, in a rather guilty manner. “What’s that,” rejoined the sheriff, “so you intend to play innocent. Well that won’t do. You know the meaning of our visit better than I do.” Then turning to one of his deputies he continued, “Imagine asking me the meaning of killing his own brother!” “Well,” said the deputy on my right, “he will know the meaning soon enough.” Then without further ado they led me off to jail. Fearing that perhaps the crowd would take the law into their own hands, they put me in one of the strongest cells, and left me to consternation and grief. What was the meaning of this? Was this perhaps nothing but a gruesome joke or was it an awful reality? If it was but a joke I wish that they could have realized my sufferings. On the other hand if it was a reality how w'as I to explain myself? I had no alibi because I had been alone since my brother left. I did not even know what it was all about. How was my brother killed and who killed him? I was unable to answer these questions. I knew that I was innocent—but to prove it. Suddenly I heard the cry of a newsboy shouting. “Wuxtra papah heah! All about the ’orrible murdah!” Occupying one of the cells which faced the street I managed to attract the attention of the newsboy and purchased a copy. Little did he suspect that he had sold it to an accused murderer. Quickly I devoured each word of a rather lengthy account of the bloody deed. It related how I, in a most brutal and barbarous manner had attacked and killed my brother in the presence of my fiancee. It was, the paper stated, but another case of triangular love. Nothing else of any enlightenment was added. So it was not a joke after all. I really was suspected, in fact accused of murder. What would be the outcome? Oh glittering stars how fair you shone that night. Oh what a shadow' that beauteous moon cast through the prison bars. How silent was that night, hearing nothing and nothing hearing me. Shunned by all as if the whole world feared me. Alone— alas, cursed be the circumstances that have brought me here. Am I after all guilty of murder. Ah my mind is giving away. If this wras true heaven could not cheer me in this cold gloomy cell; this gloomy, dreary, solitary hell! And oh! how slow the time moves on, keeping my soul in anguish. Was I to blame? I was they say. How could they all be mistaken. Yet how could I be mistaken. Will the deep sanguinary stain of crime; of my dark crime haunt my brain forever? Will I never, never hear the sweetness of a friendly voice again? Must I live, die in this dark dungeon of remorse? Oh God, am I dead, to Thee too ? You who sought the prisoner in the lonely cell ? You who taught all to feel the enchantment of Your divine Love? Can you not be brought, by a prayer, from Your Celestial Throne into this darkened cell? Do You too reprove my soul—doom it to endless misery? What, lost am I? Never to feel the bliss of heaven? Never the joys above this world of sin? What! Never? Am I, destined to damnation—into that dark fathomless abyss of sin and crime; into that misery eternal; into that unquenchable sea of fire? Is there my future—is it there? Ah! it is before my eyes. See! See! ye infernal fiends, why come you here—away— mock me not with your glassy stare! Cries, Cries! horrible cries come to my ears. I see him! My murdered brother now appears before me. Hear him pleading for mercy for me. He know's the truth. Ah! then I have not killed him. Horrors! see his arms outstretched to me—he begs me for life! O God! what have I done! He begs for life! 0 woe—O misery! If I have killed him take me demons! Torture me—rack me with the fire of hell!

Habit is ten times nature! And thus it is the enormous flywheel of society, it’s most precious conservative agent. It alone is what keeps us all within the bounds of ordinance and saves the children of fortune from the envious uprisings of the poor. It alone prevents the hardest and most repulsive walks of life from being deserted by those brought up to tread them. It keeps the fisherman and the deckhand at sea through the winter; it holds the miner in his darkness, and nails the countryman to his lonely farm through the dreary months of snow and inactivity. It dooms us all to fight out the battle of life upon the lines of our nurture or our early-choice, and to make the best of a pursuit disagreeable to our nature, because there is no other for which we are fitted, and it is too late to begin anew. —K.

Midst the din and smoke of battle there is little time for reflection, but when the obscuring veil lias lifted, when the fierce noise lias subsided into thought-addressing silence, when peace once more easts its healing light upon a scene which, though stained here with heroic blood, scarred there with bullet-dug graves and littered everywhere with the strewings of the instruments of the digging and the bleeding, is yet freed from the terrible sights and confusion of the slaughter. then the victors naturally pause in retrospection of the reasons of their victory. Then perhaps they will discover that forces unseen and unnoticed in the thick of the strife have swayed the victorious tide in their favor, and gratitude immediately arises in their hearts. So now, when the 1920 l) s Peres is completed, freeing me from my absorption in its preparation, I too look back over the process of editing it and am forced because I am human, to express my appreciation of timely given aid. I sincerely thank: First—My staff co-workers not only for the thoroughness with which they did their respective work, but also for the pleasure that they have given me by their even zealous eagerness to be of assistance. Secondly—Reverend Fathers Tracger and Millay for the faithful backing they gave to every justified move; and Mr. .John Kitslaar for his good will in drawing up our division pages. Thirdly- Father Van Dyke for his indispensable services in preparing the engraving work; and Mr. Regenfuss of the Commercial Kngravers for his careful superintendence of its completion. Fourthly—Our advertisers, for without their financial contributions this publication would have been impossible. (Reader, when in need of a purchasable article be mindful of them and of their kindness to us.) Fifthly —Reverend Father Motion for his unsparing supervision of the typing. Sixthly— Messrs. Ilol .bauer and Smongesky for valuable helps rendered our art editor: and Mr. Anthony Bitchkus for his ready compliance with requests for letter-typing labors. And lastly, though not in the smallest measure, the general student body for their cooperation with the staff: and anyone else whom I have unhappily forgotten to mention. Behold, then, those whom I have, according t.o your decision, reader, either dragged down or lifted up to share my lot. Oh Muses! may the spirit that has prompted, advanced and permeated this work gain me your succor against as tragic an end as is depicted upon the following page. — The Kdilor.
