AT ST. THOMAS MILITARY ACADEMY SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA INTIMATE GLIMPSES OF THE FACULTY Here are the member of the faculty first hard at work teaching in the classrooms, and then in their leisure moments between and after classes. LIFE IN STORY AND PICTURES First we will glance at the student body, the seniors who are leaving the portals of S.T.M.A., and then the undergraduates who must carry on for them. Next, come the different units which bring the Academy its high standing in the mil- itary field. SPORTS REVIEW The athletic teams at the Academy were of very high caliber. Let us peer into their records and see how these stalwart heroes upheld the traditions of the Academy in the athletic side of life. EVENTS OF THE YEAR The many clubs and organizations which furnish the student of the Academy social and educational rec- reation and unite them in a closer relationship with their fellow students are very important in the life of the student. PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS IN NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-EICHT AT ST. THOMAS MILITARY ACADEMY, SAINT PAUL. PRESENTED BY THE SENIOR CLASS AT ST. THOMAS MILITARY ACADEMY AS AN INTERPRETATION OF THE ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING THE YEAR NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY SEVEN-EIGHT COMPILED AND EDITED BY FRANCIS J MADDEN. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF ROBERT P. JEUB BUSINESS MANACER WE SALUTE The dedication of this Kaydet to His Ex- cellency, Archbishop John Gregory Murray is an act of foregone justice, one that needs neither apology nor incomium. Without his interest and constant assistance St. Thomas Military Academy could not have flourished as it has. Is it unusual, therefore, that this Kaydet, a tangible manifestation of his labors, should be given respectfully back to the one whose efforts and interest have made its production possible, and its composition a labor of devoted loyalty to an institution worthy of the best efforts of its students. WE PRESENT ★ ★ ★ Around the theme of a life of a student at St. Thomas Military Academy, the '38 Kaydet presents in a candid and informal manner the academic, athletic, social, and military achievements of the school year. MESSAGE TO FATHER MOYNIHAN As we, the senior class, say goodbye to the halls of St. Thomas, there are many whom we leave behind to whom we owe an immeasurable amount of gratitude. However, among these there is one whose past kindness and sacrifices in our behalf stand out as paramount in our memories. This one is Father Moynihan. Were it not for his persistent efforts and con- stant perseverance toward the attainment of a cherished goal, we should not have the honor and privilege of graduating from such an outstanding Christian school as ours. We wish to express our appreciation to Father Moynihan, not only for having made it possible for us to attend such a truly fine school as St. Thomas, but also for having made our stay at St. Thomas the most pleasant and enjoyable period of our lives. We wish him continued success in his great work of giving the world disciplined and educated gentlemen. You have come to the end of a chapter in your education, and you momentarily close the book with mixed emotions. You have, I trust, a sense of satisfaction for work accomplished, a gratitude to your parents and teachers who made such achievement possible, and a regret for the breaking of ties of friendship which comes with the parting of the ways. Much that you have learned at St. Thomas you may forget, but one lesson must ever be impressed upon your minds, that your life is inextricably bound up with the life of God, that life without Him is life without joy, wthout peace, wthout happiness, and that if you are to live a life which shall come to anything you must daily offer to God your soul and body, a reasonable, holy, and lively sacrifice. We send you forth in the assurance that your conduct as Christian gentlemen will always be evidence of the deep impress which this truth has made upon you. You are the guardians of the honor of the Academy, and as such you will hold the name of St. Thomas high. We pray God bless you and keep you always worthy sons of your school. —FATHER MOYNIHAN. MR. CROCANS MESSAGE TO THE SENIOR CLASS Mr . Cutting: Academy registrar. Fr. Kline: Academy Librarian. Miss Scholtcs: Infirmary Nurse. The Class of 1938 leaves behind it a myriad of pleasant impressions. With the Administration it leaves the recollection of responsibilities earnestly undertaken and faithfully carried out. With the Military Department it leaves a record of obedient service, humble leadership, and meritorious achieve- ment. The faculty will remember this class as one whose scholastic attainments were not dimmed by the many vigorous and valuable extra-curricular in- terest of its members. The Athletic Department will view with genuine regret the departure of a class whose numerous stars have left behind them feats long to be envied and emulated by those who follow. The underclassmen will remember the Seniors of 1938 for the many warm friendships they have cul- tivated, for the helpful assistance they have cheer- fully given to those under them in class, at drill, or at play, and for the splendid examples of leadership which they have shown to those who look forward to their days as seniors at St. Thomas. But above all, the Class of 1938 leaves behind a record of being a group of Catholic gentlemen, con- scious before all else of their Christian duties in whatever lies before them. Such memories cannot but enrich the Academy tradition and add lustre to its history. It is my sincerest wish that such impressions will be an index to the future successes of the Seniors of 1938. —MR. GROGAN. ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICIALS POSSESS TACT and UNDER- STANDING Mr. Grogan and Major Hood possess both tact and under standing; no heading could be more completely honest. It is not, however, so honestiy com- plete. They possess many other qualities which make working under and with them pleasant and eminently satisfactory. Their sound idealism, their constant devotion to duty, their kindly democracy of manner, and their ceaseless act- ivity in the interests of St. Thomas Military Academy are both inspiring and comforting to those entrusted to them. The termination of the school year 1937- 1938 marks another successful milestone in the march of progress of the St. Thomas Corps of Cadets. I firmly believe that every graduate of St. Thomas Military Academy will find that the disciplined world that he is about to enter will be much easier to cope with as a result of his training in the mlitary in- struction. My sincerest thanks are extended to every member of the Corps for the spirit of loy- alty and cooperation which they have given me. —MAJOR HOOD.

The members of the St. Thomas Military Academy faculty have shown such an attitude in their eagerness and willingness to work at all times for the development of the students under their charge. No student who was ever sufficiently sincere, interested, and needful of help was ever denied the assistance of any member. To this fact can be at- tributed the success of Academy graduates in every walk of life. MR. McGUIRE, Instructor in History MR. SCHOEPPNER, MR.

DEVITT The highest honor which the members of the Senior class can bestow upon one of its own is the title of ''President.” Along with that title go certain duties and obligations which Jim Devitt has fulfilled to the best of his ability. His ceaseless application to his studies and his genial personality have won for him the friendship of the entire faculty and student body. The many honors which he deservedly gained he has borne with becoming modesty. Little more can be expected of anyone. The entire Cadet Corps and his fellow seniors unite in wish- ing him all the success in future life and in his chosen vocation. SENIOR'S FAREWELL MESSAGE Field Day! Senior Parade! Commencement Address! Conferring of Diplomas! Military Ball! Baccalaureate Mass! These happenings in our last few memo- rious days make an impression on our mind of mingled joy and sorrow. An impression of joy, because we are now fit to go on to college, and to seek a place in the field of success and happiness that lies ahead of us. An impression of sorrow, because never again will we be wearing the blue uniform of a St. Thomas cadet, never again will we be a part of St. Thomas in scholastic, ath- letic, or social events. As we take our leave, we wish first to thank the members of the faculty for the personal and sympathetic interest they have taken in us. The high intel- lectual standards and the Christian culture which they have taught us by their leadership and example will be the guiding lights on our way to future success. We extend to them our sincere appreciation and wish them continued success in their work of moulding cultured Christian gentlemen. We, the seniors, are now entrusting the leadership of our school to the un- dergraduates. Their many achievements in the various activities of St. Thomas, and their fine qualities and many abilities assure us that they are capable of upholding the traditions of St. Thomas. In their senior year, they will be the leaders on the drill floor, on the athletic field, and in the classrooms. Th:v must enter into their activities wholeheartedly, and remember that their reli- gious education must attain the highest peak of success. If they maintain their high standards and teach those under their leadership to uphold our traditions. St. Thomas will attain even greater heights. We cannot say good-bye to our Alma Mater without realizing the immeasur- able debt of gratitude and lasting devotion that we owe to St. Thomas, but the mention of St. Thomas will bring us back to the many happy days we spent on her campus.

John has won many friends in the Cadet Corps, for he possesses the enviable quality of making any person he meets a close friend. He has been a constant participant in all campus activities, both social and athletic. John has shown us that he is a good student, a fact proved by his good marks, and his knowledge of the history of English literature. We know that John’s success during his stay with us will continue in his chosen field of medicine. Activities: Intramural Sports, ’36, ’37; B Team Football, ’36, ’37.

Quiet, friendly, and hard working is Bill both on the foot- ball field and in the classroom. His four years with us have revealed his knack for photography and on the drill floor he has proven himself a worthy leader who deserves the re- spect of all who come in contact with him. We all admire Bill for his level-headedness and sound judgment and though he excels in his knowledge of government and history, we are confident that success will cap his efforts regardless of the profession he chooses.

By his diligent and conscientious work he has won four Eagle Awards and the rank of second lieutenant in our corps. He belongs to several organizations and has represented St. Thomas on the tennis courts for three years. It is with bright hopes for his future that we bid Paul goodbye.

Bill” Let’s get into it, fellas” PAUL J. BATTIS P. J.” What’s the matter, don’t you trust me? JOHN J. BEISSEL The ever popular Jack is best described as a dashing man about town. His unorthodox, yet successful tactics on the green and tee have stood him in good stead as one of the Academy’s better golfers. Nevertheless, despite his athletic enterprises and other manifold activities. Jack has not neglected his studies. As an authority on Elizabethan literature he is unexcelled. The further development of his numerous abilities insure his success in future undertakings.

BOUTHILET Bob can always be counted on to brighten up the dull atmosphere of even the most uninteresting class by his jolly nature and humorous quips. As a mathematical master and a Latin student of no mean ability, Bob has been very suc- cessful in his studies at St. Thomas. He has participated in intramural sports for three years. Best of luck, Bob for you really deserve it. Activities: Intramural Sports, ’35, ’36, ’37; Football, ’38; B Team Football, ’35, ’36. Military: Best Platoon, ’36; Honor Badges, 3. JOHN J.

BUSSMAN George will be best remembered at St. Thomas, for his persistent campaigns as The Campus Reformer.” To many, George’s progressive ideas have classified him as a radical. However, those who investigated have discovered that his sentiments are deep rooted and profoundly sincere. As one of the bugler rookies, George has improved remarkably, until his present average of good notes and sour notes is about even. George’s ability to translate his Latin assignments in the literal, pony, or free manner will long be remembered at St. Thomas. Activities: Intramural Sports, ’35, ’36; Catholic Action Club, ’36. Military: Private First Class, ’38; Best Company, ’35, ’37; Best Platoon, ’36; Honor Badges, 4. FRANCIS J. CALVA As one of the most diligent, quiet, and successful cadets in our class, Francis has earned the friendship of many. That he is an outstanding scholar is readily proved by his Eagle Awards. His pleasant smile and stimulating character have stood him in good stead with his classmates. Francis, who is one of our better artists, can really do wonders with the pencil. With all these qualities we are sure that every part of success will be his. Activities: Eagle Awards, ’35, ’36, ’38; Intramural Sports, ’35, ’36.

Don't do that. JOHN G. CAULFIELD During Jack’s stay at the Academy his scholastic and athletic abilities have made him the envy of his classmates. By his quiet and industrious efforts Jack has won for himself the rank of Captain in the Corps and a berth on the basketball team. He held membership in several clubs and was deservedly selected as Commander of the Freshman Crack Platoon. We feel that the winning of four Eagle Awards is but a slight indication of the success which Jack will undoubtedly achieve in his future undertakings.

CHLEBECK It would be impossible to pay tribute in a few words to a fellow like Andy. Everyone has nothing but the deepest re- spect and admiration for the quiet but affable Andy. As one of the greatest fullbacks St. Thomas will ever see and a star in basketball, track, and baseball, he has left with us an impression that will not be forgotten. Because of his afore- mentioned ability in sports, Andy is one of the most popular seniors. St. Thomas bids him a regretful but affectionate goodbye, and sincerely wishes him all the luck in the world.

JOHN G. CAULFIELD Jack” '77 match you.” ANDREW J. CHLEBECK Andy” Nothing” MILTON J. COHEN Milt’s quiet but diligent application to his studies has rendered him a science student of the first class. His qualities as a laboratory technician have been the envy of his classmates. But Milt has not confined his stay at St. Thomas to science alone, for he has been prominent in the field of military and in extra-curricular activities as well. We feel certain that such faithful perseverance and study as Milt has exhibited cannot help but insure his success in his selected field of medicine. Activities: Intramural Sports, ’37; Kaydet Staff, ’38; Kathodian Club, ’38; Swimming, ’38; Water Polo, ’38. Military: First Sergeant, ’38; Honor Badges, 4. RICHARD F. COLEMAN Dick, who has been with us only two years, will leave behind him at St. Thomas the deep impression of a cadet whose cheerful demeanor, combined with his unassuming nature, gained for him the friendship of his fellow students. His energetic application to his studies has gained him good marks, and an excellent rating among the faculty members. Dick has participated in all the intramural events on the campus. His farefree manner assures him success in his walk of life. Activities: Intramural Sports, ’37. Military: Best Company, ’37; Honor Badges, 2. MILTON J. COHEN Milt” Say, I'm hungry agam' RICHARD F. COLEMAN Dick” Well, you told me to JOHN D. CUMMINGS The debonair and dashing Jack is truly the social bug of our campus. He rules supreme as our leading rhythm king. His ability in music, coupled with his natural crooning ability, have rewarded Jack with the leadership of the Academy swing band. His chief interest on the campus comes from his job as head pipe, tobacco, and all-around smoking authority. His supremacy in this phase of student interest has promoted Jack to the position of custodian of the cadet smoking room. Good luck to Jack, one of our better Keeper of the keys.” Activities: Intramural Sports, ’36, ’37; Choral Club, '37, 38. Military: Crack Platoon on Skates, '37, ’38; Honor Badges, 3. ANDREW J. CUPPER Andy is truly one of the finest gentlemen ever graduated from St. Thomas. His charming personality and ability as an athlete have made him respected and admired by all who enjoyed his friendship. During his sojourn at the Academy, he has, as a member of the Crack Squad, as a fine scholar, and as a lieutenant, made an imoression that will not soon be forgotten by anyone. We deeply regret to see him leave our halls, but we are certain that he will continue his success wherever he may go.

This beaming face and chubby figure can usually be found in the smoking room among a group of the boys” pleasantly enjoying a quiet game of cards. Besides his numerous student activities, Wilbur has also succeeded in a military way by gaining the rank of Sergeant Major. May life hold big things” in store for you, Wilbur.

DOHERTY John’s cheery demeanor has made his presence delightful to us during his stay at St. Thomas. Recognized as prominent in the scholastic field, he has, by his energetic efforts and congenial manner, often been a source of encouragement to us. That his time has been well utilized is proven by his rank as lieutenant and popularity among the cadets. Without a doubt, John will become a leader in whatever field his cheerful disposition is needed. Activities: Eagle Award, ’36; Biologian, ’36; Catholic Action Society, ’36; Intramural, ’35.

ROBERT R. DONAHOE This year St. Thomas loses by graduation some of the great- est athletes in the history of S.T.M.A. athletic competition. One of these is Bob. His blinding speed and flashing legs on the gridiron, on the hardwood court, and on the track will long be remembered. Bob is popular with the students and faculty alike. He has not neglected his studies for sports, and although he is not at the top, he is well up in his classes. He will become a famous doctor, if we may forecast his future. Activities: Football, ’37, ’38; Basketball, ’37, ’38; Track, ’37, ’38. Military: Private First Class, ’37; Corporal, ’37; Color Ser- geant, ’38; Honor Badges, 3. JOSEPH W. DVORAK JR. Joe’s earnest and perseverant application to his studies has won for him a rank in his class that such persistent and dogged determination deserves. In addition to his scholastic activities, his efforts along the military line have rewarded him with the rank of corporal. In spite of these numerous interests, Joe has also found time to skipper his job as man- ager of the baseball team. We know that Joe’s stick-to-it-ive- ness” will win him great success.

Because of his personality and an ever ready camera, he has been a valued member of our corps. As a member of the newly organized aquatic sports, he has lent both his moral and physical support. In the military field he has been a very capable and dependable non-com. Paul has shown promise of becoming an intelligent and ambitious member of society in future life.

Lcn has successfully combined studies with pleasure, and has also participated in sports, as a member of the football and track teams.

We are quite sure that these traits will make him a success in his future life.

FAZENDIN The quiet and unassuming attitude which is so characteristic of Roger gained him many friends among the students and faculty. Sgt. Housh made the find of 1937 when he dis- covered Faz” for the rifle team, and since that time he has lived up to his reputation in the art of pinwheel” making. He also made quite a record for himself at R.O.T.C. camp last summer. He has earned good grades by conscientious efforts, and has gained a first-sergeancy. Roger’s pleasing personality and characteristics will surely be missed after graduation. Activities: Choral Club, ’37, ’38; Intramural Sports, 35, ’36.

His academic years have been characterized by a plucky fighting spirit which has brought him honor on the football field as a dependable tackle, and on the hockey rink as a stellar defense man. His popularity with his classmates is due to his generosity, and also to his willingness to lend a helping hand. We trust that Dick will succeed in the business world because he possesses the necessary element of common sense.

GROVE Athletics has been John’s outstanding activity during his stay at the Academy. His natural ability along this line has been developed to the utmost by membership on almost every athletic team sponsored by the school. John’s likeable nature has made him a favorite with all of us, and has merited him a warrant in the corps and membership in many campus organizations. We feel absolutely sure that he will be as successful in his chosen field as he has been in athletics.

HANCE Although Dick has been with us for only two short years, he has shown us a true St. Thomas spirit in all student activ- ities. He was elected president of the Tri K Club, cadet camera club, because of his popularity and knowledge of photography. Dick was always willing to sacrifice his time in order to help someone else, and to this fact is due the large number of friendships which Dick has made. We are sure that his qualities of joviality and competence will carry him far in future life.

Joe’s general good spirit and his valued sense of responsibility have merited him innumerable friendships, and have aided him in conquering many obstacles in the scholastic field. Joe has been a staunch supporter of our athletic teams, and all social activities. By steady and diligent application to drill, he became a valuable member of the Crack Squad.

His constant arguments in physics class, both with the professor and the students, have given us many interesting and tense moments. Aside from his scholastic activities, John is known on the campus for his sense of humor and for his many pranks, of which his classmates were victims. In his two years with us, John has convinced us that he is fitted for any position he may seek in the future. Activities: Intramural Sports, ’37. Military: Best Platoon, ’37; Honor Badges, 3.

He has won monograms in five separate major sports, and conflicting schedules pre- vented his competing extensively in others. He has been so absorbed in the field of sports that he has developed a cynical disregard for classroom and military activities. However, Lefty” has gained the friendship and admiration of the fac- ulty members, as well as the students, by his athletic feats. He is one of the best known and most popular personalities on the campus. We wish you all the luck in future life, which your record justly deserves.

His disregard for scholastic, military, and social activities has left George with little or no campus interests. However, he has distinguished himself in one field of endeavor. Namely, his persistent portrayal in public speak- ing classes of the salesman trying to out-talk” his cus- tomer. Good luck, George, may you make many big-deals.” Activities: Intramural Sports, ’37.

His hard work in his studies has earned him good grades, and his loyalty to the school in military, social, and athletic events has been most praiseworthy. We will always remember Bob for the visit he made at Derham Hall every afternoon after school, although we have not as yet discovered the reason. Best of luck, Bob, in your chosen profession.

SMITH Kenny” is another athlete whom St. Thomas will surely miss in many sports next year. On the football field, Kenny was a speedy halfback; on the basketball court, a flashy forward; on the track team, a stellar broad and high jumper, and on the baseball diamond, a winning pitcher. But the sport in which Kenny will leave behind him a record that will go down in the annals of St. Thomas is hockey. Captain of this team for two years, Kenny by his flashing speed and dazzling stick-handling won the admiration of all opponents. Your personality assures you a bright future, Kenny.

SMITH The airplane expert of the campus is found in Ray. His thorough knowledge of aircraft results from the constant practice of his pet pastime, model-building. In his school- work, Ray has merited an enviable record. In his capacity as a staff sergeant and chief bugler, Ray has proved his leadership ability. As an all-round well-informed scholar, Ray is particularly noted. Our best to you, Ray and may your future success fly high. Activities: Intramural Athletics, ’36, ’37; Tri K Club, ’38. Military: Sergeant, ’38; Honor Badges, 4. ROBERT T. THEURER His numerous campus activities have developed the many sides of Bob’s personality. His skill as a basketball player has earned for him a berth on the first string squad. As a Choral Club member and enthusiast, he is well known and very popular. As a supporter of all campus activities and sports events, Bob has shown a fine school spirit and sense of loyalty to the Cadet Corps. We feel that his calm, yet well-developed character will benefit him in all his future undertakings. Best of luck, Bob.

THOMPSON Of the many cadets in our corps, there are few that can boast a record as high and as well-balanced as John’s. In his career at the academy, John has especially distinguished himself in the sports world as the sturdy right tackle on the first eleven. A formidable opponent on the gridiron and a staunch friend at any time in any place, John has carried his athletic superiority over into all other fields of student life. His genuine interest and persistent efforts toward the cherished goal of perfection have made John one of the most popular seniors. John will leave behind him a gap in the friendship list of many at St. Thomas.

VANDENOVER Every year, we find that there are some few fellows in the graduating class that seem to make graduation such an aw- fully hard thing. Vandy” will be one of these in our class. His constant smile and his sparkling humor will leave an emptiness at Saint Thomas, however, that can never again be filled by such a goodhcarted, cheerful, witty campus humor- ist.

WANG Accidents have no way of choosing their place of occurrence, but it seems that they like to happen when Ed is around. His teeth are knocked out at regular intervals, through no fault of his. Ed is very well liked by the boarder students, because of his hospitality and happy-go-lucky nature. He has been a loyal supporter of the boarder sports, and has also participated in school athletics, as a member of the B basket- ball team. Watch your teeth in the future, Ed. Activities: Boarder Intramurals, '37, ’38; Biologian Club, ’37. Military: Honor Badges, 2. MELVIN D. WARREN A warm personality and a genial and true sense of friend- ship—these are Mel’s traits which have earned him the esteem and respect of his classmates. On the diamond his slugging ability and his stellar fielding have earned for him the title of the Joe Di. Maggio of prep baseball.” His success in this sport is vouched for by his co-captaincy of the 38 team. Although most of Mel’s time has been spent in athletics, he has not forsaken his studies. Best of luck, Mel, and a home- run in everything you do.

WEAR In his two years with us, John has shown himself to be a sane and sound cadet. He possesses an alert and cultured mind, and has distinguished himself as a Latin scholar, and as a first class student in English. He has won his popularity as a true but silent, and modest pal. His nickname has re- sulted from his somewhat unusual personality. He has par- taken in all campus activities and is a loyal supporter of the Academy. His record has already assured him of future success. Activities: Intramural Sports, ’37. Military: Best Company, ’37; Honor Badges, 2. BERNARD J. WEITZMAN Bernie has shown us many diversified abilities in his years with us. His manifold success in all campus activities is the main reason for his popularity among his classmates. Bernie has by diligent and steady work won an Eagle Award, which is indicative of his scholarly ability. In the military line, his corporalcy and membership on the Crack Platoon show results of hard labor. His cheerful and efficient manner will act as a pleasant stimulation in the tedious struggle toward his chosen profession of law.

His chief claim to fame has been his broad knowledge in the fields of science and literature.

Whatever walk of life you choose, Bob, we join in wishing you luck and may you reach the top. Activities: Kathodian Club, '38. Military: Private First Class, '38. ROBERT BYRNES In his one year at St. Thomas, Bob has established a reputa- tion as a teller of tall tales. As one of the chief boarder enter- tainers, he has particularly distinguished himself. In the capa- city of campus humorist, Bob has not permitted his scholastic or other activities to interfere with this trait of his personality. Bob is truly just a good natured American Boy, unable to bring himself to the more serious side of school life. Best of luck. Bob. Activities: Boarder Intramurals, ’38.

MAJOR HOOD We, the Corps of Cadets, are unable to show our sincere appreciation for the bene- fits we have received from Major Hood. His consistent endeavors toward an improved Cadet Corps and a better military depart- ment have met with the fine success that such efforts deserved. His willingness and cooperation in promoting military, scholastic, and athletic enterprises have earned for him the respect and esteem of the entire student body. The present high ranking of the Academy as Honor School is due largely to the efforts of Major Hood. Appreciative of all that he has done for us, and finer for having been associated with him, we wish Major Hood continued success as Com- mandant of the Cadets. captain McFarland Since Captain McFarland’s first appearance at St. Thomas less than a year ago, his popularity and his admirers have increased with time. The efficiency with which he has executed the duties of his office as military instructor, coach, and traveling team chap- erone arc proof of his dependable ability and leadership. Captain McFarland has par- ticularly distinguished himself as a military leader. His own briskness and radiant energy have been duplicated in all those under his instruction. We hope that the years to come will bring with them the well deserved re- wards for Captain McFarland’s efforts. SERGEANT HOUSH St. Thomas Military Academy is indeed fortunate in having Sergeant Housh on its faculty. His able instruction has spread the fame of the rifle teams. May your life be all bull’s eyes. SERGEANT WEBER To Sergeant Weber, excellent teacher and director of music, is entrusted the St. Thomas Band. His untiring efforts have again produced a band which adds much spirit to all the ceremonies of the school. The entire cadet corps thanks him for his efforts and wishes him every future success. SERGEANT MILLIGAN In Sergeant Milligan we find consistent ability and unques- tionable fairness. His duties are many, but he executes them capably. The cadets wish you further success in your work. Sergeant Milligan. COLONEL BARRETT Cadet Colonel Robert Leo Barrett As Colonel of the Corps of Cadets, Col- onel Barrett has earned the friendship and admiration of all with whom he has had occasion to be associated. His inherent qualities of leadership, and his energetic personality together with his sense of justice have made him an able leader, a model officer, and a desirable friend. His constant efforts toward the perfection of the cadet corps have imparted to those about him the zealous desire for achieve- ment. To Colonel Barrett we owe our thanks for a finer cadet corps and a school year, more pleasant and successful than any of its predecessors. We extend to him our most sincere hopes for his con- tinued success. First row: Streclcfuss, Malecha; setond row: Devine, P., Naleway, Kertson, Petranton.

As one of the most important units on the campus, the Band has always played a major part in the ceremonies at St. Thomas. This year, as in the past, the Band under the com- petent direction of Technical Sergeant Weber has made a name for itself, not only by its playing for our parades and ceremonies, but also by its numerous appearances throughout Minneapolis and St. Paul. Sergeant Weber is indeed to be congratulated for the high standard which the band main- tains. Somehow, we like to think that the band is this year just a trifle superior to past units. At any rate, we may well be proud of Sergeant Webers’ bands in general and the band of 1938 in particular. CRACK SQUAD Just last year the Crack Squad was introduced to St. Thomas. There may have been those who were skeptical as to the suc- cess it would attain. If so, they are no more, for even the most obdurate must admit that the Crack Squad has become one of the very most popular units on the campus today. Its intricate manuals-of-arms, its complicated drill move- ments, and its colorful style all blend to create a capable team that is not to be excelled. Under the efficient command of Cadet Captain James Shan- non, the squad of thirteen men has formulated a spectacular drill, given added flavor by their model 1884 rifles. Other Crack Squads of the future may well look back with great pride on their predecessor of 1938. Dillon, J., Cotea, Mom, Kunz, R., Rowan, Harroun. J„ Bruzek, Carlin, Mawicke, Lamb.

This year the Crack Drill Platoon is a unit which well deserves the success it has received. It is made up of the outstanding drillers of the cadet corps and is fortunate in having as its commander Lt. Colonel Shiely. The platoon is the representative of the high standard of close order drill maintained at St. Thomas, and in this has furthered a long standing tradition. The members of the platoon have proven their mettle more than once, and we confidently look forward to the fine showing they are certain to make when they ’ou-ney to Shebovgan. Wis- consin, for the annual Wisconsin Reserve Officers’ Competition. This year’s Crack Platoon on Skates was formed for the purpose of maintaining a worthwhile tra- dition. Although they did not drill in the annual Ice Follies, their drill was photographed by the Universal News Co. of Chicago. Under the sup- ervision of Colonel Barrett, the tryouts were held in February and the platoon was formed. Practices were held regularly at the Auditorium until the drill was perfected. The news reel was made in April, bringing much publicity to our school. A great deal of credit is due the platoon for its hard work and ultimate success. CRACK PLATOON ON SKATES First row: Lt. Col.

When the ’37-’38 Rifle Team began practice in September, it was viewed with a rather skeptical attitude With but few exceptions its members, while fairly good shots, had not shown particular promise of living up to the St. Thomas tradition of turning out championship teams. Practice had not been long underway, however, when good scores began to turn up, at first occasionally, then repeatedly. Doing fairly well in its local matches, the team began to show promise of great things to come. The first major win was scored when the team won the Seventh Corps Area Intercollegiate Rifle Match. The Freshman Crack Platoon is one of the more recent military undertakings of the Cadet Corps. This year the platoon demonstrated its remark- able ability under the able command of Captain Caulfield. The members of this unit are the hand- picked representatives of the first year men. As a prerequisite, each member is first required to have mastered the fundamentals of close order drill. Thereupon, this training is supplemented by more advanced instruction in the specialized drill of the platoon. We wish to extend our heartfelt con- gratulations to this platoon for their fine showings. FRESHMAN DRILL PLATOON First row: McGarry, Krebibach, Capt. Caulfield, L«.

OFFICER'S CLUB This year, as in the past, the Officers Club has been the most active group on the campus, socially as well as academically. Under the capable leader- ship of Colonel Barrett and with the guiding hand of Major Hood, this year’s officers have brought the standard of the Cadet Corps to the highest point it has seen in years. Each week meetings were held wherein suggestions for the betterment of the corps and corrections of errors were discussed by the officers as a group. As a result, the corps has shown marked advance- ment toward the goal of Honor School. However, not all the activities of the club pertained to military matters. The eve of Thanksgiving saw the Twilight and Turkey” Dance, the first of a series of dances sponsored by the officers. Two weeks before Lent the club held their annual Dinner Ball, one of the most colorful affairs of the year. A most successful year was brought to a close at the traditional Military Ball on the eve of Graduation. Aside from their own dances, the officers were guests of honor at both the Minneapolis and St. Paul Charity Balls. The 1938 Officers Club may well regard with pride the record they have made and are worthy of the congratulations of every cadet in the Corps.

Ken Smith was re-elected captain of the hockey team at the end of the ’37 season. He proved his right to this position by leading the Cadet six to its best season in a number of years. His Hashing speed and stick-handling ability resulted in many goals which were very evident in the Cadet victories. Bill Huch, high scorer of the rifle team in his junior year, was elected captain of the rifle team. Bill by diligent practice kept up his past record of brilliant shooting to lead his teammates in all their victories. Paul Battis, one of the mainstays of the tennis team for three years, was elected captain bv fellow members of a veteran team. Paul, a steady player, dependable and reliable whether ahead or behind, led his team through a very successful season. John O'Connor, captain of the water polo team, was the mainstay of the Junior Tom club which gave a good account of itself, though very inexperienced. Jack was always fighting to bring credit to his team, and won the praise of all opposing teams. Vernon Hermes, who called the signals from his right half post, was the inspiring leader of the football team. Captain Hermes, one of the most versatile athletes in the history of S.T.M.A., led his team to many victories by his brilliant all around play and fighting spirit, though bothered throughout the entire season by injuries. All City and All Conference forward and leading scorer of the team in his junior year, Jim Salscheider was unamiously elected captain of the basketball team. Jim, who set a conference record by scoring twenty one points against St. Boniface, easily walked off with the conference scoring championship. Again selected as an All City and All Conference player, he was the main reason why St. Thomas finished second in the Catholic Conference. LeRoy Petrillo was captain of the first swimming team at St. Thomas. Pete proved his claim to this position by leading his team to a tie for first place in the City Conference. He was the leading point getter of his team and aided them in every victory. Captain for his third consecutive year, Fran Madden led the golf team to their second Catholic Conference Championship in two years. Fran, who has for four years been the team’s number one man, has shown promises of developing into a future champion. Co-Captain John Grove and Jack Vandenover led the track team in defense of their Catholic Conference Championship. John, one of the best 880 men in the city, always assured the team of five (joints in this event. In the high jump and the high and low hurdles Jack usually took a large share of the honors. Captained by the veterans, Mel Warren and Andy Chlebeck, the baseball team fought through a tough schedule with the determina- tion characteristic of Academy teams. Mel and Andy, heavy hitters, punished the ball in usual style throughout the season, and added credit to their past record by fine defensive play. ATHLETIC CAPTAINS The COACHING STAFF The Academy athletic teams enjoyed success- ful seasons because of the true sportsmanship and fighting spirit which they were taught by their coaches. With Mr. Dieg at the helm in football, basketball, and baseball, Mr. Chris- tianson at swimming and track, Mr. Lam- phrey at hockey, and Mr. Felker at tennis, the athletic year at St. Thomas attained a high peak. We will always remember the teams which these men produced to represent St. Thomas. This year the athletic setup was a little dif- ferent from past years. Usually at St. Thom- as the coaches are handicapped by a lack of material. But this year each coach was wel- comed by a large group of returning letter- men. This gave the coaches men who had game experience, an essential point in sports. By utilization of their known coaching abil- ity, they set forth after a few weeks of practice teams which were well drilled in fundamentals and molded into machine-like combinations. First row: Mr. Dieg; second row: Mr. Christianson. Me. Felker; third row: Mr. Lamphrey. The football team finished second in the con- ference race, with only a loss to Cretin mar- ring a perfect season. Finishing second in the conference play after a playoff with Cretin and De La Salle, the basketball team was invited to the National Catholic Tournament in Chicago because of its fine record and crowd pleasing play. Here the team finished runner-up in the consolation. The records also prove that our other athletic teams also made fine showings. The cadet corps wishes to extend its sincerest thanks and appreciation to each member of the coaching staff and wishes each one all the success which he rightfully deserves in years to come.

Captain Vernon Hermes CADET C R I D I In the first game of the season, the Cadets came back from almost certain defeat to tie a strong West eleven 13 to 13. The Toms were out to avenge last year’s humi- liating defeat, and gained a moral victory in the tie. Captain Hermes and Donahoe were the backfield stars, while Grove, Warren, and Don Thompson stood out in the line. Scored upon in the opening minutes, Coach Dieg’s Cadets came back and routed Shattuck 33 to 6. Sal- scheider intercepted a pass in the second quarter and raced eighty yards for a touchdown. Grove, Keller and Warren starred in the line, while Salscheider, Donahoe and Smith were the stars in the offensive attack. Playing their first conference game, St. Thomas Acad- emy defeated St. Cloud Cathedral at St. Cloud 31 to 0.

In the first homecoming game in the history of S.T.M.A., we took St. John’s into camp 20 to 7, for our second conference win. Unhampered by drizzling rain, the Ca- dets used their spectacular razzle-dazzle offense to show their superiority. Hermes’ passing and hard running, coupled with the play of Warren and Keller in the lines were the bright lights of the victory which was dimmed by the loss of Jim Salscheider, star quarterback, who suf- fered a broken collarbone. The Cadets chalked up their third victory of the season in a night thriller at Chip- pewa Falls, beating McDonell High School of that city 12 to 6. St. Thomas scored its first touchdown in the early minutes of the game. McDonell tied the game in the fourth quarter, and then the Tommies put on their brilliant victory march, scoring just before the game ended. Donahoe in the backfield, and Cupper, Mc- Carthy, and Grove in the line were the Blue and White stars. Two ancient rivals—a conference championship at stake—an undefeated Cadet team. A perfect set-up except for a slight imperfection—the imperfection, an upset. This was the story of the Cretin game, as a highly touted Raider eleven dumped the strong Cadets 7 to 0. The game was very rough as the two teams fought back at each other without gaining much ground. A series of breaks gave Cretin its touchdown in the fourth quarter. Grove, Cupper, Smith, and Chlebeck were the Cadets stal- warts. Coach Dieg’s gridders closed their first season under his tutelage with a win, as they trounced De La Salle 20 to 6. St. Thomas had little trouble in this game, which was featured by Donahoe’s runs and the all around fine play of Chlebeck and Warren. First row: Herme� , Cape.

This game gave the coach a chance to get a look at his reserve strength. Clever ball handling by Hermes and Donahoe combined with fast breaks kept the Cadets well ahead. Donahoe was high point man with ten points. The next game proved to be the most disastrous game of the season, as the Toms were drubbed by South St. Paul 44 to 24. The Suburban champions outplayed the Cadets at every turn of the game. Donahoe played a nice floor game and Hermes led the losers in the scoring column. The Wisconsin Rapids papers had the St. Thomas game booked as a warmup game for Lincoln High, but the Cadets won easily 42 to 25. Lincoln had a hard time breaking through the tight Tommy defense. Salschei- der’s twelve points were high in the scoring column. The next day the Tommies again trounced another Wisconsin team, McDonell of Chippewa Falls 36 to 26. Although hampered somewhat by a small floor, Sal- scheider and Hermes, the Academy big guns, broke through for many set-up shots. Chlebeck, playing his first game of the season, scored ten points. St. Patrick’s of Eau Claire was another easy victim for the Cadet five, falling by the score of 42 to 19. Every combination that Coach Dieg sent into the game clicked. Salscheider showed amazing speed and dead shooting to chalk up eighteen points. Bob Donahoe showed up well on defense. Well rested after the successful Wisconsin invasion, the Junior Toms overwhelmed an inexperienced West team 37 to 17. The West team was no match for the Cadets. Salscheider was high point man. Next, the Cadets started off the conference title chase with a bang by trouncing St. Johns 37 to 20. Working against a zone defense for the first time, the Toms soon solved it and then piled up a huge lead. Chlebeck, Hermes, and Salscheider stood out in the Cadet attack. Marked by traditional St. Thomas-Cretin rivalry, the Tommies eked out a 24 to 23 victory over the Raiders in one of the most exciting games of the season. A game and well coached Cretin team went down fighting. Bob Donahoe scored the winning points and played a brilliant defensive game, making almost impossible blocks of attempted field goals. Chlebeck and Salscheider divided scoring honors with eight points apiece. After having suffered six straight setbacks by the Islanders, the Academy turned the tables by defeating the De La Salle cagers 39 to 37 in an overtime game. Played on the small De La Salle floor, the game was decided by long shots from far out on the court. Lefty Hermes, playing one of his last games for the Cadets, compiled sixteen points to walk off with scoring honors. The Cadets routed St. Cloud 35 to 12 for their fourth conference win. This game marked the last appearance of Lefty Hermes in a St. Thomas uniform. Boh Donahoe set some kind of a record by playing the entire game without taking a shot or committing a foul. The Tommies held the Cathedralites to three points in the second half. Jim Salschcider, in usual form, scored thirteen points. The Tommies kept their conference slate clean by whipping St. Johns at Collegeville 37 to 26. The Tommies were once again held down by the Johnnie’s tight zone defense during the first half. The Tommy five started to click at the outset of the second half and built up a commanding lead. Coach Dicg finished the game with the subs without losing any of the lead. St. Thomas scored its sixth conference victory by virtue of its easy win over St. Boniface at Cold Springs 38 to 27. Like St. Johns, St. Boniface held the Toms in check for the first part of the game. The Toms soon rolled up a big lead, but in the early part of the fourth quarter the St. Boniface team gave the Cadets a scare by staging a thrilling rally. The threat died and St. Thomas went on to win by a wide margin. Salschcider set a new scoring record of twenty-one points. De La Salle threw a wrench into the title hopes of St. Thomas by defeating them 23 to 20. The Cadet team went all to pieces as a tight defense which was well planned stopped their fast break, the main scoring threat of the Cadets. Donahoe and Salscheider paced the Cadets in their desperate attempt to catch the Islanders. Wiswell was the star of the Islander attack. St. Thomas was still in a slump when they met Cretin in their return game. The Toms needed to win this game to gain the conference title. Cretin upset the dope and dumpd the Cadet applecart by virtue of their 27 to 19 win. The Cadets held an eight point lead at the end of the third quarter, hut could not stop the furious last quarter attack of the Raiders, which put them safely out in front. Cap:. Salschcider again led the Tommies in an effort to return to their winning form. The Cadets snapped out of their slump by defeating the Wisconsin State champs, Wisconsin Rapids 31 to 20. Elusive Orrin Tess of the Rapids Team stood out on offense. Dona hoe and Chi-beck wore the main cogs in the Cadet’s return to their usual form. The Cadets, led by Jim Sahcheidcr and Andy Chlebeck. bowled over the St. Boniface team in their last con- ference game by the lopsided score of 42 to 21. St. Boniface was held without a field goal during the first half. The substitutes played the major part of this game. Deadlocked at the end of the regular conference season with Cretin and De La Salic for the title, the Cadets met Cretin in the first game of the playoff. With the Conference Championship and an invitation to the National Catholic Tournament in Chicago at stake, Cretin went out in front by defeating the Cadets in a thriller at the St. Paul Armory 22 to 21. The Toms got off to a slow start, and their thrilling last quarter rally fell short. With two minutes and fifty seconds left to play, the Cadets pulled up to within one point of the Raiders before the final whistle blew. The Cadets met the Islanders at the Ascension C’ub in Minneapolis. The Tommies were really hot in this game even though a 35 to 33 score in their favor would not indicate this. Dc La Salle was not even in the game in the first half, which ended with the Toms on the long end of a 21 to 9 score. The Cadets kept right on going in the second half, at one time holding a twenty point lead. At this point in the game Coach Dieg removed the first team in favor of the subs. De La Salle now closed the gap by outspeeding the subs. The regulars were put back just in time to save the game. Salscheidcr with fifteen points was the scoring star of the game. Recipient of a special invitation to the National Cathol'c Tournament in Chicago, the Cadets met Fenwick, the defending champs in their first game. The Cadets were defeated by the score of 31 to 28. The Cadets went to the finals of the consolation, meeting Cretin, their local jinx. Once again the Cadets fell before the Raiders 30 to 27. The Toms again staged a thrilling lart quarter rally which was again stopped by the final f un. This trip was a just reward to Coach Dieg’s boys fer the brilliant brand of ball which they played during the entire season.

PAUL ACADEMY 2 BLAKE 10 SHATTUCK 0 The fast skating Humboldt sextet proved too strong for the Cadets in the opening game of the season on our ice, defeating the Blue and White 4 to 2. The Toms sought vainly to break up the fine passing attack of the invaders. Smith and Berg tallied the goals for the Tommies. In a game spotted with penalties and rough play Blake dumped us 3 to 0. The Toms made a desperate last period effort to net the puck. The game was much closer than the score would indicate. Schletz played an outstanding game for the Cadets. The Cadets displayed a brilliant offensive in the last two periods to down their ancient rival, S.P.A., at the Randolph street rink 4 to 2. The Black and Gold was kept well in check throughout the entire contest. Smith and Grove looked especially good for the visitors. The Tommies again took the measure of the S.P.A. sextet 7 to 2 on the local rink. The contest was marred by numerous penalties. The Cadets dazzled with a bril- liant pass attack which kept them well out in front. Again Captain Ken Smith led the winner’s attack with three goals. SEASON The pucksters from S. T. M. A. again fell victim to a barrage of goals by the clever passing and stick-handling Blake forces on the Blake rink at Hopkins to be trounced 10 to 2. It was the roughest game of the season. Hermes, Grant, and Vandenover played well for the losers. Playing the last game of the season, the Cadets defeated Shattuck 2 to 0 at Faribault. The game was featured by the brilliance of Johnson in the goal for the Junior Toms, and the rough play of the Shad defense. Hermes and Vandenover scored the Cadet goals.

W. Because of the largest enrollment in the history of the Academy this year. Intramural Athletics were very successful. B teams in football and basket- ball were organized under the able direction of Joe Kapala. The football team went through their schedule undefeated, while the basketball team enjoyed only a mediocre season. The boarders formed intramural basketball and kittenball leagues with Capt. Leahy as the director. The intramural athletic program was most successful, for it gave those boys who were not yet ready for varsity athletics experience, training in fundamentals, and a sense of team-cooperation and sportsmanship. With this season of training behind them, many of these boys should be able to fill the gaps which graduation will cause on the varsity athletic teams. First row: Lt.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ANOTHER KAYDET IS PUBLISHED Editor Off to Work Business Manager Staff Member Staff Meetin; There will be a Kaydet Staff meeting tomorrow at 3:05 P.M. in Room 203. It is of the utmost importance that all staff members attend this meeting. Fellows, remember your first copy is due two weeks from today. Where is all the copy? We must get together and cooperate if we are to ever finish our annual. Your next deadline for copy is a week from this coming Friday. Sir, does this meet with the Major’s approval. Business Manager tells patron committee to get going on the ads. Editor tells Guidon reporter that the book will soon be finished (?). Editor runs around to get the copy that is supposedly done. Move into the interval on your left and stay there. Now stand still while the picture is being snapped. Business Manager pleads with Cadet Corps to get their subscriptions in before the 1st of April. Copy Editor goes dizzy trying to read the copy. Editor and a staff member ransack homes of our seniors for their informal pictures. Editor once again pleads with the staff to finish their copy as the book goes to press in three weeks. Asst. Editor receives call from Editor to write the majority of the writeups which were assigned to the staff members two weeks ago. Editor, Faculty Adviser, and the loyal staff member spend a sleepless week writing the copy due three weeks ago, while the Business Manager now decides to get all the ads himself. Printer calls Editor to tell him copy was due two days. Editor asks for another week; he knows the boys will have all the copy done by then. Five days later the Editor and Business Manager wake up the Printer at two A.M. to present the copy to him. Editor and Business Manager absent from school the next day. And finally after all this, another Kaydet was published. Because of the fine spirit of cooperation and enthusiasm shown by the members of the '38 Kaydet staff, the book was successfully published as a product of devoted labor. The purpose of the book was to give candid and realistic portrayal of actual student life on the campus of St. Thomas. We sincerely hope it has accomplished this purpose. The members of the staff hope that this book, the editing of which rested with a few members of the Senior Class, will be of interest to all the students and friends of the Academy. We edited it as the permanent record of the scholastic, military, and athletic achievements of the school year. The cooperation and support of the Administration in establishing the success of this book has given us the incentive for persistent endeavors necessary for the pub- lication of an annual representative of such a fine student body. It is the sincere wish of the staff that this yearbook has succeeded in its purpose of depicting St. Thomas life through the eye of its students.

KATHODIAN CLUB This club is composed of those members of the physics and chemistry classes who have maintained a high average in their science courses. The ideal of the club is to foster a more complete and interesting spirit in the science curric- ulum of the Academy. The club has a very extensive program of field and laboratory demonstrations. Besides the scientific program of the club there are also many social functions sponsored by the club. Future members need only follow the example of their predecessors to be assured of success.

MONOGRAM CLUB The Monogram Club is the largest organization on the campus and one of the most important. It has for its purpose the increase of interest in athletics among the cadets. The ideals of sportsmanship and fair play make a membership in this club a coveted honor. In order to uphold its claim of being the most active club it spon- sored the first Homecoming in the history of the Academy. One of the reasons the club is so active is because of the wonderful spirit of cooperation learned in athletics.

The annual banquet was held on December 4th at which new members were elected. A number of social functions are held throughout the year, with a trip to Bill Bast’s summer home as a vaca- tion activity. The success of this club depends largely upon the whole-hearted cooperation of its members, and the enthusiasm which they show toward the club’s ac- tivities.

MUSICAL CROUPS GIVE VARIED PROGRAMS The choir has always been an important institution to the boarder cadet. The choir of this year is one of the finest the school has ever known, and its ability to master difficult selections and its spirit is remark- able. The Choral Club, under the direction of Mr. Cecil Birder, is very popular among the cadets. Although it is only a year old, it has established itself in the Acad- emy. During the course of the year, the club sings at different gatherings and late in spring presents an operetta with the Choral Club of Derham Hall. This year it was The Lass of Limerick Town.” CROUPS FOR RELIGIOUS BETTERMENT THE ALTAR SOCIETY One of the most active organizations on every Catholic campus is the altar society. It includes in its membership those resid- ent cadets who are desirious of doing more than is required of them in a re- ligious way. JOHN BERCHMAN’S CLUB Despite the fact that this club was formed but one year ago, this splendid organiza- tion has continued to be one of the most active groups on our campus. The ob- jective of this club is to familiarize its members with the duties and nature of the priesthood. Under the capable guidance of Father O. W. Winzerling the mem- bers have enjoyed an interesting educa- tional and recreational program. The high ideals and the sincerity with which these ideals have been developed is one of the many reasons they have attained such an enviable position among the student body.

THOMAS GETS IMPROVED HEATING St. Paul. Minn.—The coat of heating eight bullillnga on the cnmpua of College of St. Thomua ha been re- duced a much a 1416.75 In a alngle month, n the reault of a Webnter Heating Modernization Program completed In December. 1334. Contly and cumbersome cruising of the campus to adjust manual heat controls has been eliminated. Each building has Its own operating schedule but steam distribution Is controlled from a central point. The basic rate of steam delivery is regulated by an auto- matic Outdoor Thermostat. Webster Central Heating Control allows the college authorities to revise the general heating schedule, as classroom schedules are made up. thereby taking full advantage of the economy gained by shutting ofT steam whenever a building or zone Is unoccupied. The Rev. J. H. Koran. Business Manager of the College, expresses satisfaction with the performance of the Webster Moderator System.
