— A COPYRIGHT 1926 Henry Rlexki o Ed itor- in-Chief Lawrence Xolax Ax fist mil Editor KAYDET The 1926 Annual of Ihc College of St. Thomas an i St. Thomas Military Academy Published by the students A THE EIGHTH VOLUME ft D E DIC ATIO N SOOTHE Class of 1925, who in the interest of St. Thomas, sacrificed the privilege of publishing the 1925 Kaydet, this hook is respectfully dedicated. No small measure of apprecia- tion is due the group of willing and interested workers who made up the staff of the 1924 annual and who would have produced a cred- itable book for 1925 had such a book been possible. To these men and their class as- sociates, who with such a splendid spirit have foregone the traditional year book, with the honors which its production incur, the staff of the Kaydet for 1926 extends its sincere good wishes. 1 FOREWORD LS3 X this, the 1926 Kavdet, we have at- tempted to present a eross-seetion of the activities in the College and Academy for 1925-1926. However, because there was no Kavdet for 1924-1925, we have, in a measure, attempted to breach the gap with as many of the high lights from that season as could lie crowded into a hook so complicated and restricted as is this one. The editors have received the fullest co-operation of the several departments of the school in gathering their materials. Particular mention should he made here of the assistance of the Rev. Edmund Cough- lin and students of the Art Department for ideas and drawings without which this hook would he very dull indeed. The past two years have seen a healthy growth in St. Thomas generally. Depart- ments have broadened and new ones have been added, activities and organizations have increased. If our friends, therefore, glean from this modest issue the fact that St. Thomas is going forward, that its progress is tilling the need for Higher Catholic Edu- cation in the great Northwest, then, the editors of this hook will feel their work well done. t ” 1 - _ - L!J___ ORDER OF BOOKS Administration Graduates Athletics Academy Activities Features 1 sLTr Alma Mater Administration HOARD OF TRUSTEES Most Reverend AUSTIN DOWLING, I).

His interest in the individ- ual. his total forgetfulness of self, and his loyalty to St. Thomas in every- thing pertaining to its advancement endeared him to faculty and student. R. 1. P. KKY.

This is the aim of the School of The professional courses arc ncees- : the School of Liberal Arts student that general education necessary to develop his varied capabilities. Liberal Arts at St. Thomas College. -S-Kin sarj]v t0 a large extent specialized, but the School of Liberal Arts gives the During the past few years several innovations have been made in this School. All these changes have been progressive, and today our School of Science. Literature, and Arts is one of the strongest in our Institution. Kach of the departments is well equipped, or at least to the fullest extent that our financial limits will allow. 1 he faculty is unusually large, and consists of men who are both industrious and efficient. The classes are comparatively small, thus giving to each student the great advan- tage of individual attention. In addition to all this we have some excellent Seminars for special study and reference work. The School of Id hera 1 Arts is the oldest in our College. It is also the most popu- lar; and for these reasons it exercises an influence over the entire campus. As evi- dence of the thorough schooling in the St. Thomas Liberal Arts course, many stu- dents continue their studies on the campus in the professional schools of Law. Com- merce. and Education. Those who take their pre-professional work at St. Thomas, and continue their specialization at Universities, show by their progress the advan- tage of the St. Thomas training. I’ogc s REV. DR. JOSEPH A. SCI IA BERT THE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION Ip™,:prpd11K School of Education has as its aim the preparation of young men for ‘‘liool teaching. To attain this end students are given courses in Ed- JgOjjp ucational Psychology, in Technique of Teaching, and in the Special “ Methods of teaching the various branches commonly offered in the High School. In addition to this theoretical training the student is required to practice the art of instruction under the direction of a supervisor. Then, to equip the student for the conducting of physical training, which is constantly receiving more attention in the High School, he is obliged to attend a course, partly theoretical and partly prac- tical, in Physical Education. All the work mentioned thus far is required for certification. Hut many students desire to go beyond these minimum requirements and to take a degree in Education. To such students are offered work in the History of Education, in Educational Soci- ology. in Mental and Educational Measurements, in Statistical Methods Applied to Education, and in the High School. A special feature of the School of Education is the “Seminar Room” to which stu- dents have access at all times. There are to be found the reference materials cited in class or assigned for collateral reading. These materials consist of standard books, pamphlets, periodicals, test materials and so on. The magazine rack of tin- “Seminar Room” contains current numbers of fifteen important educational periodicals be- sides a number of minor publications. s4 REV. MICHAEL A. RYAN, M. A. SCHOOL OF COMMERCE ETTpJTSHK St. Thomas School of Commerce, now in its sixth year of existence, (jgj 'Steel offers to the young man a thorough course in the principles of modern business. It was organized with the aim of giving the practical and the psychological side of business along with the purely technical subjects. Several new subjects have been added the past year. One of the most im- portant of three is a course in Life Insurance. It includes a thorough study of the various forms of life insurance and especially the business side of insurance which is becoming more and more important every year. Logie, philosophy, and psy- chology have been given a more important place in the course because of their in- creased use in commercial life. Last fall a Commerce Club was formed for the purpose of creating a closer union between the students and to bring them into contact with professional men of the Twin Cities. Reverend M. A. Ryan, as moderator, helped the club in organ- izing. He has secured a business man each week to speak before the club on such subjects as stocks and bonds, credit, retailing, marketing, banking and other live subjects. This year ten men will receive the degree of Bachelor of Science in ( ommercc. This is one of the largest graduating classes in the Commerce School since it was organized. Comprehensive improvements are being planned for the department next year. Out of necessity a larger faculty will be required due to the increase in the number of students each year. The Commerce library is one of the most complete in the school, part of it being in the general library and the remainder in the Commerce Seminar. I’age :s • HON. THOMAS I). O'BIUKX. 1.1.. B. SCHOOL OF LAW |HE College of St. Thomas Law School confers degrees in law for the first time this spring upon a graduating class of eleven students. The Law School was organized in April of 1923. and while this school is a depart- ment of the College, it is directly under the control of the law faculty. The cry Rev. Thomas K. Cullen is president of the school; Thomas I). O’Brien is its dean; Owen P. McKlmecl. Kscp. is secretary. The school is exceptionally fortunate in having on its faculty men who rank high in the field of law and who hold posi- tions as judges of the Supreme and District Courts of the State of Minnesota and others who arc members of the Bar of the Twin Cities. Many of these men are con- sidered to he the most brilliant legal minds in the state. The activity of the law school is confined to the Class Building which contains its lecture rooms, offices for the members of the faculty and tin- law library. The library is a large room on the lower floor containing twelve hundred volumes of law books and reference material. Additions are frequently made to the list of books in the library and a thoroughly up-to-date working and research library is constantly maintained for the use of tin- students. The students of the St. Thomas Law School have available the State Law Library, and as many of our students are studying in law offices in tin- Twin Cities, they likewise have access to the numerous libraries connected with these offices. The Hennepin County Bar Association Library is also available for the students. The course extends over a period of three years of instruction each of thirty-six weeks in length and the completed course leads to a degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL. B.). Three years’ actual work is required to complete the course although two years of college preparatory work is required for admission. f’ogi- 36 SCHOOL OF MUSIC UK School of Music of the College has shown marked progress during the past year in the achievements of the various departments and indi- vidual students. The orchestra, under Mr. Charles P. Jochem’s direc- tion, was organized early with more men out for places than in any past season. The Christmas concert, December 9, was more ambitious in scope than any ever put on in the Auditorium and attracted a large crowd of friends of the College. So well did the organization present its program, that at the invi tation of Station WCCO, they broadcasted their program on December I I. the week following. At no time in the history of the College has the Cadet band been so active. Due to the efforts of Sergeant John Weber, bandmaster, who completed his organ- ization early in the fall, the band was ready for concert work. With the Crack Squad, they have appeared before the leading Civic Clul s in St. Paul besides play- ing for the Knights of Columbus and at the several hospitals in the Twin Cities and at all tin- leading school events. On invitation this group also broadcasted a con- cert over WCCO on February 26. The Glee Club, under the leadership of Mr. Leonard Smith, sang its first con- cert before the Parent-Teachers during the fall. During the Christmas Holidays concerts were given at Hutchinson and surrounding towns. The club sponsored one of the most successful dances of the year at the Minnesota Club in October. A concert was given at White Bear on Easter Monday. With five members of the faculty as a nucleus, the College choir gave credi- table account of itself when called upon for music during the season. On St. Thomas day a special program was presented which was also given at the dedica- tion of the Chapel of St. Theresa at Fort Snelling. licrnard Doyle Secretary Kemi I Hi fort President Clarence Smith Nice President A WORD AT PARTING CfmORDS of parting are ever few. This year marks our departure from St. 'hornas campus life and the culmination of all that we have worked for. i s rA l,r tour .wars here have been devotee! to seeking knowledge, preparing for post-graduate life and towards making a Greater St. Thomas. This year sees the end of our classroom work and our commencement into larger fields. Our transition from Freshmen to Seniors has not been the only change made in the school during our stay as students. We have seen St. Thomas grow in size and strength; we have tried to he a part of that growth. Each year St. Thomas is enriching its present curriculum and adding new courses; each year the tone and spirit of learning becomes more mellow. The criticism that our colleges are stock- rooms of information does not touch our school. One of the notable additions in this growth has been the establishment of the law school, realized this year when it con- fers its first degrees. Confident that the future of our school is unlimited, we will work with students who follow us to keep pushing ahead to new goals. Service to St. Thomas does not end with the close of our Senior year; we will continue to serve long after our student days are old in history. On graduation, it is what we take with us that counts: we take a good deaf—inspiring friendships, pleasant associations and les- sons of true character. We will ever be proud to call ourselves “St. Thomas Men.” � • 41 BASK FI ELD, DAVID F., A. B.

Considering everything, this is a most enviable record. There arc some who sav that the past season has been a weak one, but this criticism comes because of the uniform successes with which St. Thomas teams, and especially Brandy-coached teams, have met. Purple and Gray elevens have won so consistently in recent years that they are not expected to lose. Consequently, when this season's outfit dropped two and tied one contest, St. Thomas fans sorrowed. This was not due to any weakness of the ’25 aggregation, but to the exceptional strength of previous teams and to the fact that we were in new circles of competition this year. The Purple Plow of '25 accomplished some noteworthy feats. The average college team is content with a 50-50 break. Brandy's men did much better than that through a long hard schedule. Furthermore, they inaugurated, with an imposing season, a new era in Cadet athletics. Early in 1925 St. Thomas found that the State College conference circles offered them no real opposition and cramped their style. Her athletic authorities decided to quit the State Conference and to go afield in search of bigger game. Bigger games were scheduled, and during the past football season St. Thomas proved capable of meeting larger schools. St. Thomas won re- spect from every foe she met, for her fight, clean play, and brainy football. Page 6s KDWAKI) COLUTOX Left-Hud UI'M I DITOUT Right Guard The passing aggregation administered a severe drubbing to Earl Martineaifs widely heralded Kalamazoo Normal outfit. and placed five men on generally accepted All-State selections. Coach Brandy had a fairly strong nucleus of veterans around which to build his club. When the first workout was held no position lacked its quota of able con- tenders. At center Pat Corcoran. Joe Burke and the veteran St. Dennis all looked like good prospects for the berth vacated by Bob Schmidt. The guard jobs caused no worry with Jim Manion and Holland Moynaugh ready to take their places on the firing line. Captain Kiesling. ililgers and Baskfield gave the coaches three hefty tackles. The return of Chief Frantn made the fourth strong contender for tackle and Remi Dufort was the fifth capable candidate. Colliton. (donning, Murphv and Daugherty made the difficult position of end easy to fill with flashy men. In the hackficld Joe Emond was a capable quarter, with Mero and Mullen, sophomores, well capable of directing the attacks. At halves were O’Rourke, Klughcrz, Tauer; and Mullen, Falk, and Kd St. Dennis were efficient fullback per- I’arc 66 JOSEPH E MO NI� Quarterback formers. Most of the hacks were shifted to different back field jobs during the season and proved their versatility. Only one thing was lacking to make a well balanced team, and that was a punter with a ground gaining toe. In addition to the men mentioned, we had a good body of capable reserves who proved their worth in emergencies. ST. THOMAS TIES WITH UPPER IOWA IN OPENER Such were the conditions on September 26 with the Cadets slated to meet Upper Iowa on the Tommy fit-id in the season’s opener. This game was played on a water soaked field both teams playing ragged ball. A - tie resulted. Frequent offside penalties suffered by our team aided in slowing up the contest. Roth scores came as the result of blocked kicks. Iowa got their marker in the second quarter when a Cadet kick was blocked and recovered by Iowa on the St. Thomas five yard line. Dooley. Fayette quarter, took the ball over on the fourth attempt. The goal kick was blocked. The ball was in Tommy hands throughout most of the third period. Late in this stanza the gray clad warriors blocked an Iowa punt. A penalty placed the ball on the one yard line and Bib Falk took it over. In the final period the Tommies loosed a barrage of passes and threatened to WILLARD FALK Fullback score several times. The slippery ball and wet field frustrated their efforts, however, and the whistle found the count knotted. Moynaugh, Manion and Kicsling lid creditable work on the Tommy line. Burke, playing his first college game, looked good at center. Falk at full, and Klugherz at half made the best gains. TRINITY FALLS 20—0 Another Iowa school furnished opposition for the Purple and Gray on October 3, and this time St. Thomas achieved an easy victory, winning 20 to 0. The game was played in a steady drizzle hut the small crowd that braved a wetting saw St. Thomas excel in every department of the game. After playing a defensive game in the first quarter, in which Trinity almost scored through passes, the Cadets took the offensive, scoring twice in the second period. Repeated gains by Klugherz and a perfect pass—Emond to Mero—ac- counted for the first marker. Falk scored again from the one-yard line after some effective line bucks and a 25 yard pass from Emond to Klugherz. Emond made the first try for the extra marker but failed on the second. Coach Brandy inserted his second stringers in the third stanza. Neat runs bv Mullen and O’Rourke placed the hall in position for Tauer to score the final touch- 1‘orc 68 KMGHKRTZ Halfback down. The so-called second stringers showed almost as much power as the first selections. Colliton and Murphy, Cadet ends, showed strongly on the offense. 1’alk was the outstanding star with some terrific line plunging. He was almost invariably good for five yards each attempt. Klugherz, Emond and Mero also played well. Johnson, Armbrustcr and Walsh looked best for the Iowans. This was tin third successive beating that St. Thomas has handed the Iowan institution in as many years. WESTERN STATE NORMAL FURNISHES BIG GAME The zenith of football interest at St. Thomas was reached Oct. 10 when Western State Normal of Kalamazoo, Mich., was played at Lexington Park. The Michigan team was coached by Earl Martineau, famous star of the University of Minnesota who won a quarterback berth on Walter Camp’s All-American. In 1924 the Western State school had won the championship of the Interstate conference, losing but one game. St. Thomas was in excellent shape for this encounter, having been strengthened by the return of Chief Franta, giant tackle. Numerous special features preceded the game. These included a demonstration by the crack drill platoon of the St. Thomas Academy Honor School, and an ex- cellent program by Sergeant Weber’s Cadet band. JAMES MAN ION Right Guard I‘age 69 Combining a brilliant overhead attack with sensational runs by Louie Klugherz and Bib Falk, the Purple Plow decisively defeated the Martineau men. It may be said without exaggeration that in this game was displayed some of the best football seen in the Northwest. Both teams played a brand of ball which would rank with that played in the Big Ten. The passing of the Cadets was especially remarkable, outclassing anything ever seen in this section. The Tommy eleven got under way shortly after the game had started. Emond returned the kick-off to the 45 yard line. Consistent gains around the ends and through the line placed the ball on the Teachers 15 yard line from where Mero scored on a perfect pass from Emond. The try for the extra point failed. The Cadets had possession of the ball for the remainder of the quarter but could not score again. Two passes, a short one, Emond to Klugherz, and a long one, Emond to Colliton over the goal line, gave tin second touchdown to the men in gray. Colliton made a pretty play to grab the second pass. The Normalities came right back in this quarter and scored on a blocked kick which was recovered by Wooden, Normal end. The place kick for an additional Page 0 C.KKAI.D ML'1.1. EX Fullback JAMES M I'RI’II Y Right End KDWAKI) ST. DENNIS Right Halfback point was Mocked and the half ended with the hall in possession ol St. I homas in mid-field. Early in the third period Martincau’s men counted three points on a drop kick after successive passes had placed the hall in position for Dailey to boot it over the bar. The teams battled evenly for the remainder of the quarter. The fourth stanza was the best of the game from a St. Thomas point of view. Three neat passes each good for 20 yards, plaeed the ball on the one yard line. Talk took it over and Emond kicked goal. A few moments later Colliton intercepted a Kalamazoo pass and ran M) yards, with good interference for a touchdown. Emond again kicked goal. in the closing moments, the Western State gridders tossed passes recklessly in an attempt to bag a victory. The Cadet defense was functioning well, however, and most of the passes were grounded. First Row: I.ouis KluRhcrz. Joseph Kinond, Gordon Mcro. Jerry Mullen. Second row: Coach Joseph Itramly, David Kaskiield. James Manion, Walter Kicsling (Captain), Roland Moynanh, James Murphy, Willard Falk. Tliirsl row: John Corcoran, Frank O'Rourke, Kdward Colliton. John Murray (Assistant Coach), Herbert Franta, Remi Dufort, Frank Hilgers. Louie K1 uglier z, 'rommy half, played a sensational game. He ran the ends, plunged through the line and snared passes with equal facility. His running-mate Gordy Mero performed almost as well as the stellar Louie, while Bib Falk, through his terrific plunging and defensive play, deserves equal praise with the two Mankato gridders. Colliton and Murphy, veteran Cadet ends, stood out on the St. Thomas line. The part they played in the passing attack was nothing short of sensational. Captain Ferrari, and Banock in the backfield, and Wooden and Munson on the line performed well for Marty's team. A regrettable incident occurred during the early part of the first quarter when Slim Tauer, left halfback for the Purple and Gray, suffered a serious injury to leg muscles. Tauer had to be carried from the field and the injury prevented his playing to any great extent for the remainder of the season. CADETS HAVE CLOSE CALL WITH 1)ES MOINES A week after the great Kalamazoo triumph, Brandy's men met the scrappy representatives of Des Moines University. The Gray clad warriors, with a crippled lineup, were taxed to the utmost to eke out a 12-7 victory over the flashy team from the Corn State. The Purple and Gray was minus the services of Tauer, Falk, Emond, Franta and Baskfield in this encounter. All these men were suffering from injuries or sickness. The Tommies scored fir � t, counting near the end of the first quarter. Gordy Mero took the ball over, after repeated gains by Mullen and Klughcrz had brought the pigskin within scoring distance. The try for point after touchdown went wrong. Page ys K A Y D E T Fumbles and penalties marred the second stanza which was dull and uninteresting. Early in the second half, the usually reliable Corcoran threw a had pass from center. Barnes, speedy L’ end, nabbed the oval and ran 40 yards for a marker. The try for an extra point was successful. A determined drive by the locals in the final quarter sewed up the contest for the Purple and Gray, changing the count 7—0 for the Iowans to 12 7 for St. Thomas. Continued brilliancy of play by Louie Klugherz and some lengthy gains bv Mullen and Mero featured the Cadet attack. Kiesling. Manion and Moynaugh starred on the defense. Barnes, O’Rourke and Captain Kelly starred for Des Moines. BRANDY DAY MARRED BY ST. THOMAS DEFEAT Oct. .41 was the day decided upon by St. Thomas Alumni and supporters as Brandy Day. This was the day on which loyal followers of the Purple and Gray were to express to head Coach Joe Brandy their appreciation of the great work that he has done for Athletics here. Dr. Clarence Spears, head coach at the Uni- versity of Minnesota, presented Coach Brandy with a testimonial which Tommy fans had purchased as a token of their esteem. The stage was set for the Purple Plow to cop the honors and thereby do honor to their coaeh on his day. But as the winds of fate are often contrary to carcfuly planned schemes, the Cadets played decidedly off form. The Nebraskans took ad- vantage of their misplavs and administered to the Tommies the first defeat they suf- fered on the home gridiron for four years. As for the game itself, St. Thomas had the better of the first period but the second session found the ball in possession of the Cornhuskers. They chalked up three points late in this quarter when Wicberg drop-kicked from the 40 yard line. Repeated fumbles, inaccurate passing and a general lack of co-ordinated play char- acterized the Cadet showing. The Gray machine showed only a faint resemblance to the well oiled organization it is noted to be. St. Thomas made its strongest showing in the third stanza when Mero and Klugherz by through runs menaced the opponents' goal. About the middle of this quarter, however, a misdirected Tommy pass found its way into the hands of Darker, a busker half, who ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Wicberg kicked goal. The fourth quarter was a repetition of the others, with one exception—the ac- tivities of Jerry Mullen. Mullen, who was inserted for Falk, broke through re- peatedly for good gains and once went through the center for 40 yards, and was prevented from scoring only by a narrow margin. Mullen’s playing was the one redeeming feature of the showing of the locals. For the Nebraskans, Captain Wic- berg stood out the best in play. NORTH DAKOTA AGGIES SPOIL C ADET HOMECOMING Wednesday Nov. 11 was the occasion of a triple celebration on the campus. According to tradition the Freshmen collected wood for the annual bonfire and Pep meeting on Summit Hill. This was held on Tuesday evening, in conjunction with a program in the auditorium. This program was staged before an assembly of Alumni who had gathered on the campus to celebrate the eve of Homecoming. The program, presented under the direction of Coach Brandy, consisted of speeches, vaudeville, boxing, and music. Homecoming fell on the Armistice holiday. The Academy celebrated the same day as Dads day. The high school gridders, as is the custom with high school students, performed well before the Dads by defeating Maurice Wicnbcrgcr's Duluth Cathedral eleven 14—7. Page 73 Again when St. Thomas wanted to perform well on a special occasion they failed to come through. Before the large homecoming crowd the Tommies were bettered by a I t—7 score. Long runs bv Miller and Arnold, made possible by poor tackling, were the cause of the two Aggie touchdowns. Frank O’Rourke, sturdy Cadet half, gave a great exhibition of tackle smashing. He was the only Grav-clad back who could make headway against the strong Bison line. Soon after the opening whistle, an exchange of punts placed the ball in position for Rumpcltcs to try a drop kick. The kick fell short, however. A drive by the Aggies gave him another chance near the close of the period but again the try was short. Early in the second session St. Thomas took the ball to mid-field by O’Rourke’s long plunges. Here the Aggies held and gained possession of the ball. Miller broke through right tackle for a thrilling run which brought dismay to followers of the Purple and Gray. He seemed certain of a touchdown but was brought to a stop on the two yard line after a heroic chase and tackle by Pat Corcoran. Corcoran’s brilliant play was in vain, however, for Augustine took the ball over on his third attempt. Rumpeltes kicked goal. 'I'he Purple Plow came back with renewed vigor at the outset of the second half and tore a furrow straight over tin Aggie goal line, from kick-off. A pass, Falk to O’Rourke, gave the Tommies their touchdown. Falk’s drop-kick tied the score. A counter attack by the Bisons carried them deep into St. Thomas territory, Rumpeltes and Augustine hitting the line for steady gains. Movnaugh intercepted a pass to check the advance on the Cadets’ 20 yard line. Exchanged kicks coupled with runs by Miller and Arnold brought the oval to the 25 yard line of the men in gray. Then occurcd the catastrophe which gave St. Thomas defeat. Arnold ran back intending to pass. Finding no one clear to receive the toss he reversed his field and ran to the 7 yard line from where Augustine went over in three tries. Rumpeltes again kicked goal. The Cadets were unable to pierce the Bison defense for the remainder of the quarter. TOMMIES DOWN COLUMBUS The perverse Cadet eleven, after failing to do its duty at the St. Thomas Homecoming, journeyed to Sioux Falls, S. 1).. and spoiled the Columbus College Homecoming by beating the Dakotans, 12 5). The Tommies scored both their touchdowns in the first quarter. One came as the result of a pass, Khigher , to Falk, from the 12 yard line. Jim Murphy scored the second marker when lie scooped up a loose ball and raced 35 yards to the goal line. 'J’lie Mariners threatened to score several times but the St. Paul team always managed to hold when their goal was threatened. Donahue, Columbus quarter, inter- cepted a pass on the Cadets’ 15 yards. Schrank took the ball to the 13 yard line on the next play. A wild pass, and a 13 yard penalty spoiled that attempt, how- ever. In the third period only one foot of turf stood between the Columbus outfit and a score. Gains by Funk and Schrank brought the ball close to the Cadet goal but Seobell missed a touchdown by a foot on the fourth attempt. St. Thomas contributed a safety and kicked to midfield. Schrank made 9 yards through right tackle and Funk hit the other side of the line for 12 yards, placing the ball on the 10 yard line from where Schrank took it over in two tries. Schrank. Funk and Seobell starred for Columbus. O’Rourke and Klugherz played best for St. Thomas. WI O V E R 11A M LI N E CIA )S ES S E ASO X St. Thomas wound up a successful season on Thanksgiving Day by dealing Page 74 out a II—0 defeat to our old rivals. Mainline University. The long punts of Ed Rawlings. Piper end. kept the Cadets from scoring more often. Neither eleven scored during the first half. Long punts featured this session, both teams having chances to score. After an exchange of punts in the third quarter, a long pass, Emond to O’Rourke, netted St. Thomas 25 yards. Aided by two first downs by Mero, St. Thomas took the ball to the 3 yard line where Mainline held. Rawlings punted to the Tommy 38 yard line. Mero uncorked a 25 yard pass to Collito� and then took the hall around his right end for a 31 yard run and a touchdown. A drive from the Pipers’ 18 yard mark resulted in the second touch- down. Mero. Tauer and Mullen featured in this advance, Mullen going over the line. During the contest St. Thomas made I t first downs to 3 for Hamline. Mainline was penalized (� 0 yards and St. Thomas 55. Mero. Kiesling and Corcoran starred for St. Thomas. Swearinger, Rawlings and Pedlar were the Mainline luminaries. ST. THOMAS ALL-STATE MEN The men who received all-state mention were Captain Walter Kiesling. tackle: James (Skipper) Manio� and Roland J. Movnaugh. guards; James Murphy and Edward J. Colliton. ends; and Gordon Mero and Louis II. Klugherz, halves. For Captain Kiesling. all-state selection has become a yearly occurrence. His great hulk, strength and knowledge of the game easily stamp him as the best tackle in the State. Movnaugh and Manion were two of the most dependable line-men seen this season. Either can be relied upon to turn in a sterling performance each time lie starts. The two differ somewhat in their style of play. Movnaugh is a steady performer, always playing the same type of ball. Manion is a fighting line-man who is always likely to break forth into explosive brilliancy. Murphy and Colliton are a pair of flashy wingmen seldom equaled. Colliton is the steadier of the pair, but Murphy breaks loose with stellar work at regular intervals. Mero and Klugherz, the Mankato duet of halfbacks, have enviable records for the ’25 season. Mero is a hard working half, a good ball carrier and a fair kicker and passer. Klugherz excclls at toting the ball and has an elusive style of run- ning which is all his own. He is unusually effective in going off the tackles and around ends. O’ROURKE IS ELECTED CAPTAIN Frank O'Rourke, one of the most consistent of a brilliant backfield, was elected at the annual Football banquet to captain the Tommies for 1927. O’Rourke is one of the most popular athletes on the campus, and is noted for his fighting spirit in football. Frank comes from Easton. Me is one of the most reliable players to ever wear St. Thomas colors. With his fine qualities to lead the team next year, St. Thomas already has a good foundation on which to build a winning eleven. He is a worthy successor to Walter Kiesling the brilliant captain of this year’s squad. The election took place at the annual banquet held Dec. 3. in the college cafe- teria. The attendance was about 60, made up of athletes, coaches and faculty. In his speech, the Very Rev. Father Cullen expressed himself as having been reassured by the past season's success that the school was right in broadening its athletic relations. Mr. Burns, President of the Alumni association, pledged the support of the association to Cadet athletics; saying. “The Alumni have been awakened to a sense of its responsibilities.” First row: Murray (coach), Kenny, Captain Rcllalian, Touno, Sanborn.

After ten minutes of play Popowski broke through left tackle and scored after a twenty-yard run. The Army came hack strong and on a scries of line plunges evened the count just before the whistle blew marking the close of the half. Early in the last half Kenny grabbed a Snelling pass and dashed eighty yards for the Class of 29’s second marker. Ward hooted a perfect drop-kick. The last yearling touchdown came in the final period when Popowski skirted right end behind perfect interference. Captain Rcllalian, Twomy, and Mullcrlalle bore the brunt of the work for the Cadet line while Popowski and Kenny starred in the hall- carrying act. Page 76 CHEER LEADERS Have you pot it? These four pep- inducers specialize in a brand of spirit famous at St. Thomas. Where- ever enthusiasm needs direction they can be counted upon to bring about the desired result. Whatever the sport, they are always on hand to lead Cadet rooters in bringing vic- tory to Purple and Gray. Pag 77 When Coach John Murray took hold of the basketball squad early last season, there seemed to be little hope of a winning team from the material that tried out. Captain Dadv was apparently lost through scholastic difficulties leaving only two other letter men in the persons of Stub Peterson and Clarence Smith as a nucleus of the coming team. After a short time however Captain Dadv reported for prac- tice and with Marty O'Phelan and Slim Baucrlv with Colliton. Mero, Enoch and Bill Brick.

Two long trips were lined up for the Cadets, and on both journeys the team won the percentage of games, completing the season of twenty-one games with fifteen wins and six defeats. Three of the defeats were administered l� v the North Dakota Aggie quint, winner of the North Central Conference title. During the longest of the two trips the Cadet team met seven opponents on as many days and won five of the games and lost but two. At the end of the season an attempt was made by the Athletic authorities to schedule a game with St. Olaf, state basketball champions, but the game never ma- terialized. Wickens proved to be a find on the Murray quint and his long basket during the final game of the season against Hamline tied the score and necessitated the over-time period. His flashy floor-work proved spectacular and furnished plenty of thrills for the play-going fan who wishes action in hits games. His shooting often proved accurate and little short of marvellous. During his year at St. Thomas he easily proved his worth as future basketball star. Marty O'Phelan, another new man on the Murray quint, displayed a brand of basketball and deadly accuracy at hitting the net that was the fear of all opposing teams. The old men on the squad repeated their brilliant performances of former years and easily proved their superiority in their various positions. Smith, diminutive Cadet forward, has been the main scoring machine on the Cadet team for four years and who with Murray made the famous St. Thomas scoring machine of former Page 79 KI AVAR I) COLUTGN Forward KXOCII BRICK Guard WILLIAM BRICK Center years. Dadv, nearly lost at the start of the season because the game interfered with his classes, came hack and led his team through a brilliant season of fifteen victories and six defeats, against the strongest colleges and independent quints in the Northwest. Stub Peterson, clever guard and this coming season’s captain, again asserted his claim to the position as one of the state’s best guards and liis intuitive skill in breaking up opponents’ plays frequently proved the winning factor in a Cadet victory. The Brick brothers, Enoch and Bill, played remarkable games at guard and center, respectively. Early in the season, Enoch became a “find by his skillful play at guard and his height enabled him to cut oft’ many an opponent’s rally by knocking the ball out of the air near the basket. Bill Brick and Lietzke, alternated at center with Captain Dadv, and showed good form at that position. In the Mac- alastcr game, Lietzke led his team mates in many a drive down the floor to the Mac hoop and was greatly responsible for the huge total of 52 points. Colliton and Mcro at forwards completed the eollege squad and their clever, shifty play has become a byword in state-conference circles. The St. Thomas college basketball team will lose six players this year with graduation, three of whom are letter men, numbering among them three of the most brilliant court performers ever seen in Northwest college basketball circles. Both Dadv and Smith have served four years on St. Thomas teams, both have been selected by critics for all-state positions and both have, during their years here, served as basketball captain to the college quint. Marty O’Phelan, third member of the famous trio, is a this year’s find and also graduates after playing through- out a highly successful season.

PROSPECTS FOR SEASON OF 1927 Three letter men will return to form a nucleus of next year’s basketball team for the Purple and Gray.

Gordv Mero will return to hold down a wing position with Shorty Sommers to play back at running guard.

THE FAMOUS GAS HOUSE TIGERS The Tiger Basketball team, Intramural Champions of St. Thomas for the past four years, again repeated their histrionic record of former years hv playing forty games, winning thirty-seven and losing three. The Tigers met all comers, whether independent, dependent or a college team and bv their remarkable record have proven their strength. The true worth of the Tiger team lay in the power of the reserves, enabling them to continue, and play at their best pace throughout the entire game, thus keeping their opponents constantly on the defensive. Tiger Homecoming held on Feb. 20, was a huge success, socially and athletical- ly. The team defeated the St. John's squad, Twin City independent champions. Approximately :}.000 people attended the homecoming program. The tigers will receive Gold Basketballs from the Monogram club in recognition for their season of many victories.

THOMAS 5, BANKERS 1 In the second game between these clubs, the collegians completely outclassed their opponents and won 5 to 1. The contest was played at the Arena. ’(igc 86 HE St. Thomas Boxing Team was organized early in the year under the di- rection of Dillon Peterson, amateur light-heavyweight champion boxer and wrestler of the Northwest. With the consent of the College Athletic board, Peterson issued calls for men interested in boxing and gave semi-weekly instructions to the thirty candidates who answered. Several boxing programs were arranged and offered during the year, the winners of these elimination bouts being selected for the members of the College Boxing team. Three elimination bouts were held and the final one which was open to the public was held on the evening of Homecoming Day before an audience of 700 people who crowded the College auditorium to see the contests. Only four bouts were held on this evening and the winners were placed on the team. Bouts were planned with the Citizens Club of Minneapolis, the Y. M. C. A. of both Minneapolis and St. Paul and with the K. of C. Clubs of both cities. No bouts were arranged with other colleges. Jimmy Murphy, for two years light-heavyweight champion of St. Thomas, was chosen by the men as captain of the new team and although his men were cramped with lack of space in which to work-out their persistence won for them the top floor of the old “Ad” building for use as a gymnasium. The equipment not being ade- quate to furnish a variegated gymnasium, the members of the team did most of their training in fundamentals and road work with frequent interspersings of shadow box- ing. The members of the team are: Captain Jimmy Murphy, light heavyweight; Stanislaus Kuffel, middleweight; Guido l)c Petro, welterweight ; Patrick Delaney and Boh Downey, lightweight; Elmer Ryan, Edmund Jahnke and Danny Sty hi, featherweight; Jack Oateman, bantamweight, and Jackie Murray, paperweight. Rocco Vcrderosa was later admitted to the team as welterweight. Forty candidates entered the big all-St. Thomas boxing tournament which was held on April 15. 19 and 21. In the final matches of the tournament which was held on the 21st, Kid Rocco met Stan Kuffel for the middleweight title; Guido De ixv S; ST VIII. DKI.AN'KV DOWXKV Petro met Kid Cusick in the welterweight division; Jack Kenney fought Hob Gainey for the Junior lightweight title; Patrick Delaney fought Hob Downey for the light- weight crown; Ed Jahnkc battled Elmer Ryan in the featherweights; Young Hamm fought Hud Sprunner in the paperweight division and Hud Goetz fought Red Fahev. A special feature of the tournament was a match battle between La Ravicrre and Chuck Moosbrugger. 'Pile holders of the official college championships won in the recent tournament are: Jimmy Murphy (unchallenged), light-heavyweight; Kid Rocco, middleweight; Guido De Petro, welterweight; Patrick Delaney, lightweight; Jack Kenney, junior lightweight; Ed Jahnkc, featherweight; Spike Oateman (unchallenged) bantam- weight; Hud Goetz, flyweight; and Young Hamm, paperweight. The tournament which was held under the direction of the Reverend Vincent J. Dudley, who in the absence of Dillon Peterson, acted as manager of the affair, was a decided success. A new ruling has been put into effect by the College athletic board barring any champion from the tournament who has won the championship for two successive years. 'Phis action will promote wider interest in the bouts and increase the number of entrants. The action, however, will not bar these men from places on the College boxing team. The men who will be barred from any further participation in the tournaments are: Guido De Petro, welterweight; Patrick De- laney, lightweight; and Spike Oateman, bantamweight. Page 88 TRACK SEASON OF 1925 [HE 1925 Track Season opened with the brightest prospects in years, rgd Track seemed due for a revival at St. Thomas when a large squad an swered Coach Sanborn’s call. Many ol the veterans of the previous year were on hand among them being Captain George Desmond and Hob l'itz- simmons half and quarter-milers, H. O’Brien dash man. doe Patton dashes and hurdles and Joe Osborne and Ed. O’Brien in the distance runs. Among the new men who showed promise were Rieger, Salmoraghi, Mero and Klugcrtz, dash and middle distance men, I.co Roth in the distance runs, Mike Donahue, holder of the State High School record in the hurdles, Clark Johnson, title holder of the State High School high-jump record, and Claire Conley, a high jumper from the 1922 St. Thomas Acadcmv Team.

Third row: Flemming, Sanborn, coach. Van Valkenburg, manager, Rieger. However as the season wore on, the old story of inability to schedule meets with teams of an equal strength asserted itself, and track stock took a decided tumble. Only three meets were secured and in each one St. Thomas made an excellent show- ing. In the Finnish Games, with one week's actual practice, they took third place in the mile relay. H. O’Brien won his heat in the 100 but was unable to run in the finals owing to an injury. The dual meet with Hamline was won by an overwhelm- ing score. At the South Dakota Relays, St. Thomas took third in the mile relay running in the University class. Clark Johnson broke the South Dakota record but was beaten on the next jump.

His remarkable ability to handle men together with a per- sonality to win the full support of the corps, brought quick results to the extent that when Spring came the corps gave an exhibition of military science and tactics which impressed both the inspecting officers and the spectators. The result of this inspection brought the good news during the summer that St. Thomas had attained the honor rating among the accredited lists of military schools of the country. Captain Hilsman also revived an interest in marksmanship. The Academy Rifle 'I’eam shot matches with the leading schools of the country. The team com- peted in the Seventh Corps Area Match, the William Randolph Hearst Match, and the National Intercollegiate Match, placing first, third, and fifth respectively. The Seventh Corps Area trophy remained in the possession of the Academy during the past year. As the Kavdet goes to press the possibilities of the rifle team winning the Hearst Trophy arc exceedingly bright. As a culmination of both military and social activities on the campus the Annual Military Ball held in the Armory was a brilliant success, six hundred couples attending.

Clancy Cadet Colonel v7 THE ACADEMY SCHOLASTICALLY PURRED on by the inauguration of the new system of merits and demerits which was adopted bv the Administration last fall, the Academy showed progress throughout the year scholastically. The Cadets, in their ambi- tion to be awarded honor medals and to have a perfect record for the year, improved in their class work with the result that the number of commissions in the corps grew rapidly during the first few months of school and the close of the first semester found an unusual number of blouses decorated with the red bar. In outside competition the Academy showed its qualities whenever contests were entered into. The first honors came when the Ramsey County Spelling con- test was held in April. In this contest the Academy took the first three places. Elmer Pothen took first, Robert Cunningham, second, and Stephen Stack, third place. In debate, with a handicap of a late start, the Academy team made a splendid showing wherever it met competition. From this organization there was chosen the Academy orator, Klorian Simons, following the try-outs in the school for Academy representative in the district contest. Simons won this contest hands down over his competitors and as this book goes to press he stands a good chance to win the state contest. Page 9S HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1926 Freshman Year N SEPTEMBER 1922, a new era began in our lives, we made the initial plunge, figuratively speaking, into high school, and a hoarding school at that. We were excited, nervous and extremely cautious for the “Old Yaps” soon instilled a hearty fear of the paddle and the authority of old men into us. Our lives were made miserable by innumerable prac- tical jokes which the upper classmen played upon us. The number of us who went to the military office in search of the swirmish line or the “keys to th flag pole is legion. But gradually the number of these pranks grew less or else we became more accustomed to them—at any rate we lost the unreasoning fear of the “Old Yaps” and began to long for the time when we. too, might order some newcomer across the street for candy or sandwiches. This first year was, in a way. the most thrilling and joyous of the four. Our first uniforms, our first real examinations, for most ot us the first protracted stay from home and family. 'The weeks and niontlis flew by, each bringing with it some novel experience or some new sensation. So engrossed- were we in the explora- tion of new fields that the year passed almost before we knew it and a long and pleasant vacation was staring us in the face. Sophomore Year Sophomores! The joy of pronouncing that word as we rolled it lovingly upon our tongues. How infinitely greater it sounded to us than the erstwhile title of “Freshman.” “New Yaps” no longer, we were now men who could command others and be certain of prompt obedience—the Power ot the Paddle lay in our hands and we did not fail to exercise it. Pagt n K A Y D E T This second year we became more organized even though we expressed it only in the direction of athletics. Our football team met with fair success in the in- tramural even though most of us gave it our moral support only. But study was not neglected for pleasure, Caesar and higher algebra took up much of our time and caused us considerable worry until the final examinations placed them forever in the ranks of old and forgotten bogi. Junior Year When Charlemagne was crowned Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire lie could not have felt greater or more powerful or magnificent than we on our re- turn to school in our Junior year. We were astounded when we thought back and remembered how proud we were when we were able to «style ourselves sophomores. How could we have been so foolish? What had the sophomores to be proud of, which we, as juniors, did not possess in three-fold greater abundance? Now we were upper classmen with all the power and authority which goes with such a title. In our Junior year we first really began to achieve organization and to ex- press ourselves a a class. All the teams which composed the major sports had a goodly sprinkling of our class on their lists of players. But though we were greatly interested in class organization and sports, we did not fail to work hard and diligently at studies and drill so that when vacation again returned we had the satisfaction which goes with high grades and work well done. Senior Year Seniors! A great pride in the name and a little, nameless regret which we just couldn't analyze. That was our feeling the first part of this year. Although we wouldn’t trade places with a king, yet we had a little secret longing to con- tinue in high school for at least one more year—and then we immediately grew cold with the fear of not graduating. We were fully organized now. the experiences of the past two years standing us in good stead. We know the seeret of diligent application to study and sub- ordination to higher authority—and we have finally found the reason for the lit- tle, nameless regret which has suddenly grown to much greater proportions- we hate the thought of leaving high school with all of its friends and memories. But we are now entering the life of the world and before we go we wish to thank the faculty of St. Thomas Academy for the labor which they have expended upon us. We leave behind four years of work and play—four years crammed to capacity with joys and sorrows—we leave behind a host of friends and memories. We are entering life’s great work with our goal in plain view—the goal of achievement of whatever we set out to accomplish. Whatever path in life we inav follow we seek the summit that we may thus honor our Sovereign Master and our Alma Mater. Page ico ACADEMY SENIORS BA K (. LA, B.

R. 1. P. THE MEMORIAL WINDOW The St. Thomas Memorial Window on the West side of the College Chapel was donated to the school by the students of St. Thomas and the College Faculty. The Cadet Corps under the direction of Captain Roger Hilsman and the Rev.

Hjorth Wm. O'Brien THE COACH Father Gibbs, who had already proved his worth to the athletic department, again entered the field to whip the teams into shape for a suc- cessful season. In both football and basket-ball he was successful. One game was left to our op- ponents while in basket-ball the Northwest Parochial School Championship was won after a series of incomparably thrilling games. Through all these victories it was undoubtedly the energy and masterfulness by this indomitable mentor which kept the teams working in unity. After such a brilliantly successful season our song should indeed be “Hail. 'Flic Conquering Hero Comes. REV. JOSEPH ;n:l5S Acadeinv Coach Page T20 THE TEAM Fired by the zeal of their coach the “Cadets’’ made an unusual showing. The “Gray Monster” showing a fighting. Hashing, snappy, attack at every blow of the whistle plowed through to victory. Of our lone defeat we shall not speak. It was merely as a breeze to the dying flame which whips it into life. Perhaps the outstanding man on the team was Moco” Culver. It is certain that he added energy to his appearance and showed well at his position. “Gus” Kennedy proved to be such a great master of football strategy that opponents were bewildered by his tactics. This coupled with his ability as a triple threat man gained for him the title of the most valuable man on the team. For this lie was awarded a sweater at the annual banquet. DEFEAT ST. CLOUD The Academy football team started out on its successful march of the sea- son by defeating St. Cloud Cathedral on the Cathedral Grounds 19-3. The Cathcdralites were completely outclassed in every department of the game. “Moco” Culver showed that he was very capable of holding down the captaincy. Kennedy and Hov starred in the hackficld while Culver and O’Brien starred in the line. A SUCCESSFUL MARCH In the second game of the season the Academy met and defeated St. Paul Academy on the home grounds. 32-6. Father Gibbs used two teams in this fray and both found the S. P. A. line easy. S. P. A.’s only score came from a blocked punt, “(ius” Kennedy came through with many sensational runs. Wilson and Hov starred in the baekfield and James. Culver and Hamm in the line. COTTER HIGH TURNED BACK The Academy faced its second foe in as many days when it defeated Cotter high of Winona C -0. The “Gray Monster” ran wild. The game was made in- teresting by many sensational runs. “Handy Andy’ Hamm, a new find was the star of the day. Ripping, clashing, tearing, he was a veritable monster. As usual “(ius“ came through with some long runs. CRETIN SWAMPED The Cretin line was unable to withstand the assault of the heavier ( adet for- wards and plunging backs. Only on rare occasions were the Cretin backs able to get under way. In this game the Cadets made I I first downs. I he whole team played exceptional ball. Page - DK LA SAI.I.K GIVES US A SCARE The Aeadeinv continued its winning streak by defeating Do La Salle for the Parochial C hampionship of the Twin Cities 18-0. I)e La Salle displayed excep- tional strength. During the first quarter both teams let loose with forward passes but most of these were unsuccessful. In the second quarter the Cadets by line plunges and a punt scored the first touchdown. The Islanders blocked the kick. St. Thomas scored its second touchdown in the third quarter. The kick was blocked. Continuing its attack on the Islanders’ line the Academy scored its third and last touchdown in the same period. CAMPION SPRINGS A SURPRISE Campion upset the dope when they defeated the Cadets 13-10. Campion scored in the first few minutes when Velasco intercepted a pass in midfield and raced 50 yards for a touchdown. St. Thomas scored four points on two safeties. By line plunges Campion made another touchdown. With 30 seconds to go the Cadets worked a long pass successfully for a touchdown. PILLSBURY DEFEATED The Academy gridders displaying their usual second half attack, registered their sixth win of the year against Pillsburv Academy. The entire squad of 28 players saw action in this game. Hoy and James made the Cadet’s two touch- downs. Hoy, Kennedy and Sheehan did the best work for the Tommies while Hutch- inson was the outstanding Pillsburv performer. 0. WIN NORTHWEST PAROCHIAL TITLE 'I'hc Gray Monster” won the Northwest Parochial title when they defeated Duluth Cathedral 11-7 on the home front.” At the end of the first half Duluth led 7-0. Early in the fourth period Hoy evened the score. With but a few minutes to go Britton ran 53 yards for a touchdown and Kennedy kicked the goal. O’Shauncssey played well at end and Hoy starred in the backficld. WIN OVER SUPERIOR CATHEDRAL On November 21, the Cadets won a thrilling game from Superior Cathedral at Superior. The final score was 7- . Hamm, playing fullback for the Tommies, time and again carried the ball for the necessary yards and distinguished himself in every department of the game. Hamm circled the end for IS yards for the first score of the game. He also kicked the goal. Sheehan. Culver and Ryan starred in the line and Kennedv and Wesiscl in the backficld. LAST GAME OURS In the last three minutes of play the Cadets defeated the Watertown High School in one of the closest games played in South Dakota in recent years, (5-0. The game was the Cadets’ hardest game of the year. Captain Culver blocked a Watertown kick and raced 20 yards for the winning score. Culver and Bilskie did the best work of the Cadet line and Kennedy and Hamm were the lights in the Toinmv backficld. Page u.i SEASON OF 1926 Rev. W. J. Gibbs Cyril Sheehan ....

In every way it was the mast successful tournament that has been held so far. A marked increase in tcam-plav and i� i general knowledge of the game was apparent.

The big game of the Cadet schedule came when the Academy pucksters played Mechanic Arts at the Hippodrome on March 3rd. With the Twin City title in view, both teams went the limit. The Cadet’s forward wall with O’Shaughnessy. Wesscl, Fahey and McDonald worked perfectly and their hard cheeking was a prime factor in the victory, but to Jack Hardy, goalie, goes the day’s laurels. Linsmayer and Wesscl scored the goals for the Cadets. Fahey’s stickhandling and skating were the cleverest on the ice. Under Fahey’s leadership the Cadets should have another championship team next year. They will almost have, a veteran team as they lose only Captain Hardy, goalie, and Martin at left defense.

In competition with the first team they showed the fight necessary to keep the first string men in the best of trim and ready at all times to meet fast company. The Meteors are being brought up on the ice and will furnish the hulk of tin- material for the next year’s Academy Hockey team. Perhaps a few years will see several of them defending the Varsity goal. Their season, while less sparkling than the Academy team, brought credit to their organization and the Rev.

SEASON OF 1925 HE ACADEMY Track Team of 192 � made a good showing considering the late start they had, due to the had weather. They were entered in the Hamlinc Relays where they faced strong competition from Shattuck, Pillsbury, University High, and Bethel Academy. They succeeded in taking second in the half-mile, mile and medley relays and placed second in the whole meet. They placed third in the triangular meet held at Shattuck the latter part of May, taking firsts and seconds in nearly all of the dashes hut being rather weak in the field events. In the dual meet with Cretin High held at St. Thomas, the Cadet took firsts in nearly all of the events, winning the meet by an 80 to 22 score. The main feature was the fast half-mile relay team made up of Kraus, Castle, Ryan and Cook. In the Cretin meet this quartet set a new St. Thomas record of 1.87 for this event. Members of the team were: Captain Ryan. Kraus, Culver, Gihlin and Herbert Ryan, all old men. The team was greatly strengthened by several new men, among whom were: Cook. Lamb. Castle, Styhl. and I’iola. I’dg r 133 ACADEMY SWIMMING TEAM Sponsor, Rev.

Both meets with Central High School were closely contested, with the Lexington Avenue fish gaining the upper hand by virtue of their greater experience. Stepping out of the Academy class in the meet with Ilamline University, the Tommies pressed the University swimmers throughout the meet. The Pipers captured all firsts with the exception of the Breast Stroke event which was copped by the versatile Cadet star. Fahey. Several seconds and a flock of thirds contributed 17 points for the Cadets in the meet total. In the meet with Humboldt, concentrated strength in the two relays, the breast stroke, and the longer free style events gave the Tommies the edge. Capt. Guthrie. Fahey, Ward, and l)ea. were consistent point winners throughout the season, and with the majority of the letter men hack for the next season pros- pects for a winning team are particularly bright.

The Marksmen repeated their performance of last year in winning the Seventh Corps Area Championship, which embodies the championship of eight states; advanced a step in winning second place in the Hearst National Rifle Match and fifth place in the Na- tional Intercollegiate Rifle Match sponsored by the War Department. Together with this enviable record in the major matches the team defeated six Military schools through- out the country and lost but one match to St. John's Military Academy of Dclafield, Wisconsin, which according to their count, verified by our office, was lost by one point out of 4.000. The College and Military Depart- ment did all in their power to provide the mechanical necessities to insure a good team. They purchased new Winchester 52 rifles; furnished the squad with new ammunition; re-lighted the shooting gallery; re-modeled the range and opened try-outs for the team to the entire Cadet Corps. From the two hundred men who tried out for the squad fifteen men were chosen to repre- sent St. Thomas on the Rifle Range. The men selected by elimination con- tests were: Captain Donald Miller, Stanislaus KutFel, John Blodgett. Ed Wolkerstorfer, Paul Koob, Fred Waterous, Marty James, J o h n O’Shaughnessv, Ed Krumplcman. John Dea, Donald Keys. Waldemar Thinnes. William Dea, Hector Hocnig and Howard Waldorf.

ACADEMY DEBATE TEAM OKENSIC activities began rather late in the Academy—hut owing to the spirit of the men, and to the splendid coaching of Professor Owen P. MeKlmeel, the work showed considerable polish, and the first debate with Stillwater High School was decided in our favor. No defeat is recorded in the 1926 schedule. The second team was composed of Captain Elmer Pothen, Corporal Robert Burns, and Privates Joseph Gillin, Fallon Kelly and Joseph McGintv. Louis Sinykin, Sergeant II. Howard Helmick and Sergeant James Guthrie also were chosen as alternates. Sergeant Simons was selected to represent the Academy in Oratory and won laurels in that field, taking both school and district honors in the national contest, speaking on tin- United States Constitution.

The fraternity was organized in January 1925 and since its inception lias been very active. The fraternity has no president, vice president or other officers. It is controlled by an executive body consisting of the following members: Charles Sonnen, Uarvev Gardner. Francis Buckmcir, Eugene Weber and W. Elmer Pothcn. In the period of a month John Larkin, Robert Cunningham, and Frederick Barthelmc were pledged and initiated to membership. Despite the short time the organization lias been on the campus it is one of the most active. It has been most prominent in student affairs. The members have given many small parties. The most important event was the state-wide convention held at Swanburg in August. themselves in some way or other in college or academy activities. It was organized and to bring greater fame to the name of our Alma Mater. The two most im- game. Every other week a party has been held throughout the year. The Sovereign Master is H.

J. I- ON K11.1. Dean of College Men STUDENT ACTIVITIES What, we ask you, would furnish the kick” to hoarding: school life without a reasonable amount of discipline? And here the term reasonable is used advisedly for reasonable discipline is what is in vogue in Ireland Hall under the direction of the Rev. Joseph L. O'Neill, dean of College men, and the Rev. Vincent Dudley, dean of the Academy Cadets. Ireland Hall was named after a great man and not the Emerald Isle, as many sup- pose. It houses the majority of the students living on the campus regardless of nationality or personality. To direct the activities of so varied a group, requires nothing short of genius in diplomacy, tact and disposition, for the dean’s duty is one of long hours, and constant vigilance. The men on the campus serving in this capacity, Father O’Neill and Father Dud- ley together with the Rev. Leo 1 Gleason, the Ilev. Fdwin Klein, are particularly suited to the responsibility put upon them. They understand “fellows. Appre- ciating this the students value their esteem, the routine order of the day becomes part of their own plan, and they co-operate in enforcing the rules. Student opinion sees to that. Discipline becomes a gentleman’s game and privileges are the more appreciated. 1J,V I ST. THOMAS DAY MARCH 8 St. Thomas Day, celebrated this year on March S instead of March 7, due to the fact that the feast came on Sunday, will long be remembered as one of St. Thomas’ most successful celebrations. The Most Rev. Austin M. Dowling, Arch- bishop of St. Paul, pontificated at the Mass. The Rev. Aloysius Ziskovski was master of ceremonies with seniors from St. Paul Seminary as Mass assistants. A most scholarly sermon was preached bv the Rev. Rudolph G. Pandas, Doc- tor of Sacred Theology at the Seminary. The music of the Mass was furnished by the St. Thomas College Choir and Orchestra under the direction of Professor Charles P. Joehcm. CAMPUS RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES For the first time in several years the Very Rev. Thomas E. Cullen, president of the College, assumed this year the responsibilities of spiritual director of the student body. He took up his duties when the illness of the Rev. William Coughlin made it impossible for him to serve in that capacity. The Thursday evening services of the rosary, short practical talks by Father Cullen and the congregational singing, were of an intimate but inspiring nature, which attracted more than the usual number of students and friends of the Col- lege. to the Chapel on these evenings. FORTY HOURS DEVOTION JANUARY 17 Forty Hours Devotion as prescribed by the Archdiocese of St. Paul for St. Thomas, begun on Sunday January 17 following the 9 o’clock Mass. The devo- tion this year was held continuous with groups of students from both the College and Academy on watch during tin- night hours. The Devotion exercises closed on Monday at the students Mass. Porc iy SPIRITUAL RETREAT MARCH 29 Attendance at daily communion was almost one-hundred per cent when Lent began and increased as Holy week approached. The success of the season religious- ly can best be summed up in the results of the Retreat held on March 29, -'JO and 81, to which the students responded most enthusiastically. The Rev. VY. R. Law- ler, (). P. of Chicago conducted the services. During the retreat the student body made the Jubilee Year visits, five to St. Marks and five to the College Chapel. The Chapel was filled for each of these visits both day and hoarder students entering wholeheartedly into the ceremonies. Led in sections by the Priests of the faculty, a line of students five blocks long recited the rosary as they made the daily visit for five days in succession to the neighborhood Church. GIFT TO CHAPEL ANNOUNCED In closing his conference talks, the Rev. Lawler talked on St. Thomas Aquinas, patron saint of the College, and gave the Papal Benediction. Father Cullen, in his closing talk to the students, announced an extension of the Easter holiday season and a gift of a substantial sum of money from a friend of the College to he used in erecting a St. Thomas shrine in the Chapel. MAY DEVOTIONS During the month of May the Thursday evening services were given over to talks by the Rector on the Blessed Virgin, the Rosary and Litany was recited and songs suitable to tin- month sung by choir and congregation. J Jl 151 I-awrcncc NoJnn Daniel I.anc D’Orscy Hurst Kliner Kvan IIE outstanding event in forensic affairs this year was the establishment at St. Thomas of the Minnesota Epsilon chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, Na- tional honorary forensic fraternity. All colleges of the Minnesota debate league now belong to this national organization. The charter members of the St. Thomas chapter are Professor Owen P. McElmeel, Reverend Dr. J. A. Schabert, Professor Clarence Dickoff, of the faculty; and D’Orscy Hurst, Daniel McLaughlin, Llovd Kcogan, and Irwin Maher of the debate team. Admitted to membership were Daniel Lane, Eugene McElmeel, and Lawrence Nolan, varsity debaters. It is remarkable that the first year as a member of Pi Kappa Delta, St. Thomas sent a delegation to participate in the national competition of his organization held in Estes Park, Colorado. Daniel McLaughlin and Daniel Lane were sent as de- baters, and Lloyd Koegan as the extemporaneous speaker. In competition with picked teams from all over the nation, these speakers made a fine showing. The unprecedented success of forensics on the St. Thomas campus this year is due to Professor Owen P. McElmeel, coach of oratory and debate. It was through bis earnest devotion and unswerving effort that well equipped teams represented St. Thomas on the platform. Because of his assiduous attention to this activity his teams took up the work in the same energetic spirit and were well pre- pared for all their contests. After a series of eliminations, held just before Christmas vacation, the follow- ing were selected to comprise the two teams: D’Orscy Hurst, Lloyd Kcogan, Daniel McLaughlin, Daniel Lane, Eugene McElmeel, and Lawrence Nolan, with Elmer Ryan and John McCarthy as alternates. Hurst, Kcogan, and Mel.auglin were letter men of one year’s experience. The other three were new recruits in inter- collegiate debating. From this comparatively inexperienced group, Professor Mc- Elmecl developed teams that did remarkably well against veteran speakers. The topic chosen by the Minnesota state league for debate was the Pi Kappa Delta question, “Resolved, That the twentieth amendment shall be adopted to the Constitution.” Nolan, Hurst, Lane, and Ryan comprised the negative team while the affirmative speakers were McElmeel, Kcogan, McLaughlin, and McCarthy. A Page lit I.loyd Kcogan Eugene McElinccl John McCarty Daniel McLaughlin These two teams met competition from five states, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, and North and South Dakota. The schedule this year was the most extensive ever undertaken by any St. Thomas debate squad. The negative team enjoyed a vic- torious invasion of North Dakota, where they debated the University, Fargo Agricul- tural College and the Moorhead Normal. During the same week the affirmative team invaded South Dakota, meeting such teams as Augustana College, Sioux Falls, and Columbus College. In the state league debates, the negative team lost to St. Olaf but won a unanimous decision over Mainline and the affirmative team dropped con- tests to Gustavus and Macalester. Of the fifteen debates, the two teams lost but five. St. Thomas will have five of the regulars and both alternates returning next fall. Besides this material, which will form the nucleus of the teams next year, there is excellent talent in the public speaking department which will be given an oppor- tunity to serve in debates. Next year Professor McKlmeel plans to organize at least four intercollegiate teams. The students are to be commended for the support given this activity this year. This interest on the part of the student body was a large factor in making possible the achievements of the teams. Only with the continued support of the students, can St. Thomas hope to win laurels in the forensic field. A good start has been made and all indications bespeak winning debate teams in the future. A new competitive field entered this year by the Purple and Gray was the National Constitution Oratorical contest. The St. Thomas orator is Eugene Mc- Klmeel. The showing made bv him this year in the national contest promises a glorious future, as McKlmeel is only a Freshman. lie is a most convincing speaker and couples mastery of oratorical device with natural power of presentation. Fast year he won second place in the National high school constitutional contest. Under the skilled tutelage of his father, Professor (). P. McKlmeel, Eugene is developing into one of the best college orators in the state. St. Thomas was admitted this year to the Minnesota Oratorical league and will enter a representative in the contests next year. In this field the school should do well. fi LEROY McFAUL Senior Representative STANISLAUS KU1I KI Junior Representative RANDOLPHJOLNO Freshman Representative ELMER RYAN Sophomore Representative HENRY P.LEXRUI) Editor Poge i$4 I'irst row, left to right: James Haggerty, Kugene McKlmcel.

The object of its organiza- tion is to furnish opportunities to its members to gain practice in all literary and forensic activities, and the character of its ideals and purposes is indicated by its selecting the name of the illustrious founder of the college of St. Thomas, the late Archbishop of St. Paul of renowned and blessed memory. Its membership is limited to thirty. Applicants must he college men of high scholastic standing and possessed of interest and aptitude for the work of the organi- zation. It aims to maintain programs of the highest quality. It strives to make its work practical in every way, and during the college year invited Prof. Owen P. Mc- Klmeel to conduct a course in parliamentary law, which proved very interesting and beneficial. The society is looking forward to an active and profitable year in 1926-27. ■■■■■■■■■HI i —H r r r i -s Page i 6 ST. THOMAS LITERARY FORUM Established October, 1925 Professor Owen P. MeKluieel. 1.1..

All the benefits sought in such an organization are offered by it. Practice in debate, oratory, reading, journalistic enterprise, story-writing, every literary ac- tivity in fact finds expression on its programs. Its membership is limited to thirty men as the society aims to give each member a chance to appear on its programs with reasonable frequency. The society maintains a weekly newspaper which is edited and read by different members selected by the program committee. Professor Owen P.

Edward O’Malley and George Splan were selected for vice-president, secretary and treasurer respectively. Father Ryan is moderator of the organization. The membership of the club is made up entirely of students enrolled in the Commerce school. This amounts to nearly one hundred and fifty. Meetings are held each week in one of the classrooms of the department. The main feature of these meetings is the speaker, usually a professional business man from the Twin Cities. Such subjects as stocks, bonds, credit, retailing, marketing, banking and merchandising are discussed. This along with the technical side of the students work help him greatly in a clear comprehension of the work. Next year it is hoped that the club will re-organize immediately after school Starts and that the students will take a more active interest in the organization. 'iig� - i6jt TRIANGLE ART CLUB Rkv.

Rehearsals were held every week during the remainder of the school year. The Collegians played for the Glee Club concerts at Hutchinson and at W lute Bear. Thcv were received enthusiastically at Montgomery on April Hi, when they played for the benefit of the Montgomery High School basketball team.

That’s St. Thomas as an artist found it way back in the early days be- fore there were any lawn mowers. The swamp in the foreground was then almost impenetrable and was infested with alligators and other atrocious beasts. Discipline was no problem then, for the students dared not step from their classrooms without danger from snakes or mountain lions. Besides Summit Avenue was then just a cow path and the sharks in the “Father of Waters' made the walking along the river paths hazardous. Even in that early day St. Thomas was famous athletically, as the lower sketch of the stadium reveals. On the day the drawing was made, there was a big homecoming game on. Anticipating a rain, as the clouds indicate, and at the same time getting a jump on the mosquitoes, the events of the day were featured under the grandstand where Freddie Sanborn, who was then a little Cadet, was starring in a Dual meet against an Indian School. Tfiosc were the good old days but the Indians have all driven away in their Fords and St. Thomas has grown to where it is just like any other school only better.

S. T. C. had the hug too, as well as a couple of beetles, and student averages went lower and lower while vocabularies increased by leaps and bounds. Newspapers were snatched from the carriers before they had time to deliver them. Rules concerning the burning of electric lights all night had to be enforced to prevent the bankrupting of the in- stitution. Not satisfied with solving puzzles, certain of the creative minds on the campus evolved their own problems and answers. The college administration was on the verge of distraction as to how to curb the extra-curricular activity and was about to make a large appropriation establishing a chair in cross words with complete staff of puzzle professors when there appeared on the campus a pair of balloon trousers. From then on there was little cause for any expenditure in the cross word field. With the loose trouser came the looser Charleston. Three newsies starved the following week while the Dime Stores doubled their music counter forces. The College infirmary had to call on the Red Cross to help care for the eases of fallen arch, stomach, back and shin injuries. As the Kaydet goes to press there is a slight slump, spring fever having taken its usual casualties, but the Collegiate is becoming an epidemic and so it goes. '75 ST. THOMAS COLLEGE SONGS BOOST ST.

If she should step out of character for the tiniest part of a second you’d all recognize Eilda as none other than our friend and classmate I.awrenee McDonough. But to step out of character in a really serious part would be most inartistic and so Eilda has to stay on this page just as she was for her Charleston sketches at the Officers Club hop and long after the fads and foibles of today are forgotten, she will remain immortalized, a mute example of what a guy can really do if he only makes up his mind to it.

This is the first year that St. Thomas was represented in this competition, and a very good showing was made bv our representatives. The debate team was composed of McLaughlin and Lane, while Keogan was the entrant in the extemporaneous contest. The selection of the St. Thomas representatives to the national convention was made from the two varsity debate teams. En route West, the team participated in practice debates, winning the decision debates. Below is the College Quartet, which while a new organization on the campus, has the proper stuff for making things lively wherever they are called upon to sing. The quartet organized independently from the College Choir group and have as their sponsor the dean of the school of Music, Professor Charles P. Joclicm. Page 184 ITO RIAN II.
