AwaavDv A viniw svwohi is 6£6l ™tu A PICTORIAL PRESENTATION OF THE MOULDING OF A CADET AT ST. THOMAS MILITARY ACADEMY, SHOW- ING HIS LIFE, TRAIN INC FRIENDS AND INSTRUCTORS THE ANNUAL PUBLICATION 7'ke KAYDET DEDICATED TO LIEUTENANT-GENERAL ROBERT LEE BULLARD Since the military department has long been not only an object of especial pride to St. Thomas, but its very heart and soul, it is with a sense of belated justice that we, the seniors of 1939, dedicate this Kaydct to our first commandant of cadets, Gen. Robert Lee Bullard. It was in the fall of 1905, following arrangements with the War Department, that Lt. Bullard, then stationed at Fort Snelling, was appointed to organize the first cadet corps. He carried the experiment to such a successful conclusion that in 1906 military took an official existence at St. Thomas. The foundations of discipline and military proficiency which General Bullard laid at the academy have endured to this day. In the years which have followed Gen. Bullard’s departure from St. Thomas, while he has been ascending to the dignity of high rank, the school has been ever growing and expanding and. in many respects, changing, but it has never wavered in its adherence to the high purpose and the high standard of efficiency which he established. St. Thomas has been through success and failure, triumph and disaster, but nothing has ever halted its onward march. The eyes of its student and faculty have ever been upon far horizons. Without interruption the school has carried on its work of preparing our young men for future national emergencies. If the call over comes, legions of academy cadets will spring to arms, cadets who have not only an adequate military education but also that spirit which is ever found in hardy, courageous fighters. And through these years St. Thomas has not forgotten its famous founder. The memory of Gen. Bullard’s early work has ever been with us. Pioneering such as that of Gen. Bullard today may seem a thing of the past, but at St. Thomas Military- Academy, the memory of it lives and grows and is ever before our eyes as an inspira- tion to our marching cadets. 7 Jie ZAit iA. CONTENTS ABOUT THIS BOOK 7 Wowt We, the senior class, wishing to preserve for the years to come a picture of St. Thomas as it was during our senior year, present the 1939 Kaydet. It is built around the theme Molding of a St. Thomas Cadet” and in- cludes some glimpse into every phase of cadet life. We have striven to be candid and to present all things in their true light, for to us these pictures and these descriptions are more than just that, they are a drama of our senior year. We have tried to make those faces which look out from the page the faces of genuine people as they really are and not just lifeless figures. So if this book is read, not desultorily, but with imag- ination and insight and a sense of humor it may be seen that it is more than just a book, more even than just an account of our senior year; this book is” our senior year. LIFE a Gadet TODAY Today may be the day of the Easter parade, it may be inspection day, or it may be just an ordinary drill day. No matter what day it is each cadet knows that before it has run its course he will work and play and learn and add something to his sum total of knowledge which will make him a better cadet and a better man. la - THE START OF THE DAY The bugler’s Reveille is the alarm clock for the boarder cadets. With hearty threats of dire consequences for the bugler and his infernal machine the cadets arise, wash, and put their rooms in order for a later inspec- tion. Following Mass, the cadets march to breakfast after which they return to their rooms for their texts and then march to drill. Thus, in orderly fashion, follow the events which start the day for the cadets. WHERE WE LIVE In the buildings from Ireland Hall south to the Administration Building are contained the halls, offices, and class-rooms in which the various activ- ities of St. Thomas Military Academy are carried on. Ireland Hall, the dormitory, is an imposing brick structure formed in the shape of the letter 'H’ .Father Ralph Broker is the boarder supervisor and he is ably assisted by Mr. Robert Christenson, a member of the Academy faculty. To the east of the Hall is the center of all religious activity on the campus, the Chapel of St. Thomas Aquinas. Here, on many an evening, are heard the voices of the choir as they sing the devotions. The beautiful main altar is the scene of the Mass which the cadets attend in the mornings. Proceeding in a southwesterly direction we come upon the Academy Building. In this building arc the offices of the Military Department, including that of our commandant. Major Burton F. Hood, the faculty offices, class-rooms and laboratories for the various arts and sciences, locker rooms for the cadets, and finally, a student library. This building- is really the center of daily activity for the cadets because the greater portion of their day is spent in these halls. From here we now walk on toward a low, rambling structure south of the Academy Building. This is the Armory and it is here that the cadet receives most of his military training. Ranged around the spacious drill floor are the rifle racks of the companies. The Armory also contains the offices of the Dean of Studies, Mr. Thomas C. Grogan. All administration, independent of the military work, originates in these offices where Mr. Grogan is most ably assisted by his secretary, Mrs. Mina Cutting. In the basement of the Armory are located the locker rooms for the athletic teams, the equipment department, dressing rooms for the coaches, showers, and also the trainer’s room. Near the athletic stadium we find the rifle gallery. This building is a long, rectangular, two-story structure, housing, on the ground floor, the rifle range and, on the second floor, the military class-room. Also on the second floor, we find the clothing room which, along with the rifle range, is presided over by Sgt. Roscoe Housh, the coach of our renowed rifle team. In the Administration Building on Summit Avenue we find the offices of the president of the College of St. Thomas and St. Thomas Military Academy as well as the Business Office of the school. ( OPPORTUNITIES TO LEARN The cadet at St. Thomas is offered an unusually fine opportunity to acquire a very complete education. Whether it be a classical education, a liberal education, cr one embodying military principles, the various arts and sciences are well repre- sented in the curriculum of St. Thomas Military Academy. For the classical scholar there is the field of languages and the literature of these varied languages—Latin, English, French, Spanish, German. The student at St. Thomas who wishes a liberal education will discover a wide and diversified range of subjects from which he may complete his curriculum. The various divisions of mathematics—algebra, plane and solid geometry, trigonometry, etc., are all essential requirements for the proper credits. The three main sciences—biology, chemistry, and physics are taught with a great deal of thoroughness and exactitude and their respective laboratories are more than adequately replete. Military life will undoubtedly appeal to some cadets and the training which one receives at St. Thomas is of the highest type, available to the high school student. St. Thomas has been designated as one of the ten best military schools in the nation. To attain this honor a school must first acquire the MS rating—that of a school which is essentially military in its training. One can readily see that such limitless opportunities afford the cadet every chance to acquire for himself an education of the finest type. With a faculty composed of clergy and laymen who are fully acknowledged teachers and most of whom are specialists in their different fields it is easy to sec that nothing has been left undone in helping the cadet to select his life’s work. EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES The cadets at St. Thomas do not, however, confine themselves to the field of scholastic assay. Availible also are extensive facilities for almost every field of extra-curricular endeavor. Our coaches are of the very finest type and turn out teams which do them credit; our faculty advisors have youth, forcefulness, and understanding. The faculty of St. Thomas favors participation in all sports because they realize that nowhere can sportsmanship and teamwork be taught so pleasantly as on the gridiron or the track; that leadership can be taught as effectively on the basketball court as on the drill floor. The academy has a reputation of turning out fighting, courageous teams which win a pretty fair share of their games. Besides the activities found in every school, St. Thomas has military units peculiar to military schools. Among these are numbered the rifle team, the crack squad, the crack platoon and several others. The excellence of each of these in its own field has carried the name of Sr. Thomas Military Academy far and wide. The cadets are urged to partake of the intellectual stimulation which is a result of the cultural and scientific activities offered by the many clubs on the campus and of the moral fortitude which is fostered by the various groups for religious betterment. Some of these clubs are organized to spread knowledge in the fields of science and literature; there are also hobby clubs such as the Tri K. Thus we see that at St. Thomas a cadet has an unusually wide range of activities to choose from and there is something to keep everyone inter- ested and happy. fiooJz One - 1lic School THE FACULTY THE SENIORS THE UNDERGRADUATES FATHER MOYNIHAN The Kaydet of 1919 was dedicated to our former Commandants and Soldier Alumni, who by their heroic sacrifices in the Service of Country reflected honor upon Alma Mater. The Kaydet of 1939 is dedicated to him whose name stood at the head of that roll of honor, General Robert L. Bullard, one of the most distinguished officers of the World War. In this gracious tribute to a brave soldier and a fine gentleman, the Senior Class does honor to itself and to the Academy. For it manifests a spirit of gratitude for service, of respect for achievement, and reverence for character, as well as a loyalty to the Military Forces of our Country, whose highest ideals General Bullard personifies. I congratulate the Senior Class on these qualities, and I bespeak for it the success which they deserve. MAJOR HOOD A cadet who has successfully pursued his military training at St. Thomas Military Academy can indeed point with pride to his achievement. But let us not lose sight of the good for which our training was but a step, and that is the pos- session of a commission as a Lieutenant of Infantry in the Officers Reserve Corps of the United States Army. The demand for leadership in rime of national emergency can veil be answered by our gradu- iting cadets who have joined the Reserves. I sincerely hope that every graduating cadet will move re- lentlessly forward until the cov- jtrrd commission is in his hands. MR. GROGAN It is not easy to say farewell to thic Class of 1939. For four years you ha.e distin- guished yourselves in every phase of school life, and we shall always point with satisfac- tion to your many accomplishments. In all forms of activities you have represented St. Thomas Military Academy sincerely and with distinction. By training yourselves to think clearly you have prepared yourselves for leadership in a world badly in need of leaders. It is especially important that you remember the responsibility of such leader- ship, a responsibility which demands that you act without compromise according to the principles of Catholicism and true Americanism which you represent. This responsibility we know you will accept with- out hesitation. A class such as this one represents a powerful force for doing good, and my sincerest wish is that we at the Academy may note with pride in the coming years the spiritual, as well as the material influ- ence and achievements of the Class of 1939. FATHER FORAN BUSINESS OFFICE Mr. Mack leaves the Armory as Mr. Felker refleas. Fr. Nolan and Mr. Hilgers snapped while walking, Mr. Connors stand- ing still. Mr. Martin smiles on time but Mr. Christenson is caught off guard. Mr. Crowley, Mr. Rothausen, and Fr. Broker—all busy. Fr. Gormely and Lt. Hames caught in characteristic poses. Mr. Langeland Mr. Westline Major Hood, Mr. Grogan, and Mr. Mr. Schoepner looks on the porch Christenson, off to lunch thinks Fr. O’Connor Fr. Ozark on Mr. Felker sleeps Mr. Connors Fr. Gormley and walks the walk instructs Fr. Klein at 1:28 THE FACULTY We of the graduating class feel that for us and for the whole school our yearbook would lose much of its meaning were we to omit mention of our faculty. The activities in which we have engaged have been, after all, only secondary to our curriculum. Hence upon our professors has fallen, for the most part, the burden of guiding us along the proper paths of learning and of instilling in us the precepts of true Christian morality. The faculty have fulfilled this trust in a manner which has proclaimed them forceful, understanding, and able. Every cadet at St. Thomas has come to admire and respect its fine teachers not only as instructors but as men. The mathematics department of St. Thomas is composed of Mr. West- line and Mr. Mack while in the science department Fr. Nolan, Mr. Hilgers, and Mr. Rothausen hold sway. Mr. Reuber and Mr. Christenson belong to both. It is to these men that we owe the development of our minds along logical and accurate lines. For our instructors in language Mr. Mack ascends as do Mr. Langeland and Mr. Connors Mr. Felker reads Fr. Broker surprised Fr. Coughlin pleasant Fr. Winzerling and Fr. Nolan caught in class Mr. Crowley talks—Mr. Westline considers Mr. Christensen and Mr. Rothausen Mr. Reuber, Lt. Haines, and Mr. Hauer—all feel brisk At the head table of the Dinner Ball we glimpse Mrs. Moss, Mr. Grogan, and the Major Hoods Mr. Hilgers Fr. Gormley smiles prays we have Mr. Felker and Mr. Connors in the English branch; Mr. Martin for French; Mr. Schoeppner for German; and Mr. Hauer and Fr. Winzer- ling teaching Latin. Chief among the benefits derived from these language classes is the ability to think. Then in the department of social science are Mr. Langeland and Mr. Crowley while in religion Fr. Gormley, Fr. O’Connor, Fr. Ozark, Fr. Coughlin, and Fr. Broker hold forth. This group of men must derive great satisfaction from the knowledge that year after year, as a result of their tireless and patient effort, cadets go out into the world far better prepared for life than most. The dignity and importance of teaching are frequently subjected to scoff and jest but we whose lives have been molded in their hands carry in our hearts a seldom- expressed but nevertheless deep sentiment for our Profs.’’ We realize the debt of gratitude we owe them. It is then our fondest hope that we may go forth into the world as worthy sons of St. Thomas and as a lasting living tribute to our teachers for in each of us there is a bit of each of them. AT ODD MOMENTS THOMAS CARLIN The Senior Class is signally proud of its president, Tom Carlin. As is often the case with persons of achievement, he is reserved and quiet. But beneath his calm exterior lies a nature characterized by good will and the very highest ideals. Through that nature he has reached out constantly to new fields of endeavor, until now he stands as an able leader, a superior student, a fine athlete, and a ranking officer in the corps of cadets. The class joins in the wish that he may realize his ambition to enter Annapolis.

It shimmers and wildly leaps—fascinating—challenging. But, O Youth, turn your sprightly, mercurial mind back upon your short four years at your academy. The cross-roads lie ahead. Reflect, to avoid being ’plunged into that abortive gulf’: We must fortify ourselves with the learning accrued and passed on to us by the painstaking efforts of our instructors. To release our souls and to live up to the Catholic ideals of Christian manhood so prudently and diligently inculcated in us must be our determination. To release our minds and dig deep down into the fertile soil of imagination with the silver spade of inspiration, placed so surely in our once incompetent hands, must be our utter resolve. To release our energies and face the world with fortitude, strong of limb and firm of will, must be our unshakcable purpose. We hold a sacred trust. We must not fail. It is in this, then, our farewell message, that we, the senior class, wish to assure those men who have so confidently placed their faith in us, that we will steadfastly adhere to the pattern woven so expertly by them; that, in the future, we will strive to sense their guiding hand upon our shoulders, that hand so comfortably, wonderfully close in the present. We shall always regret its phyiscal remoteness; we shall never experience its absence. It is with no regret, however, and with much confidence that we place the lofty traditions and standards of St. Thomas into the capable hands of the seniors to come. We feel sure that they will uphold these ideals with that privileged feeling that every true cadet experiences. Thus, then, with unashamed, real tears, shed partly in happiness but more because of that big ’Something’ that tightens our throats and sticks there, embodying in it everything that has ever happened to us at our school, we raise our hearts, eyes and hands in final salute. Rapidly running, swiftly rushing, the four years flood a panorama before our mind’s eye. Our small niche has been carved in the history of St. Thomas. We have added our Story of Glory to an already great edifice. Commencement has begun—and ended. DAVID S. BARKLEY WILLIAM BAST WILLIAM BAUMGAERTNER David S. Barkley Dave certainly has what it takes not only in the scholastic and military depart- ments but also in the athletic department and in all other extra curricular activities as well. Intelligence and application account for Dave’s success and for his excellent performance of his duties as a lieutenant. There is no doubt that these qualities will serve him as well in the future as they have in the past.

William Bast Through persistant effort and a determination to make good, Bill has won for himself a high place in the academy. A success in military from the beginning, Bill has risen to the rank of Cadet Major. He also occupies a high rung on the scholastic ladder. His success, however, hasn’t kept Bill from being one of the best liked students on the campus. His innate seriousness and genuine straight- forwardness masked by a hearty laugh make Bill a hard man to bid farewell to. We hope it won’t be for long, Bill.

William Baumgaertner In his four years at St. Thomas, Bill has been marked by his really outstanding intelligence and ability in classwork, the most important separate entity in school. His almost unparalled grades, resulting from assiduity and insight of mind into study, are indicative of his inner superior qualities. Few of us have heaped the fuel of dicipline-discipline of moral character and of the intellect-to such a height as has Bill, upon the spark of culture that glimmers within us. Military: Band, ’37, ’38, ’39; 2nd Lieut., ’39; Rifle Team, ’37, ’38; Honor Badges, 8. Activities: Biologians. ’37, Pres.; Parnassians, ’39; Eagle Awards, ’36, ’37, ’38, ’39. ROBERT BLUMBERG JAMES BRUZEK JOHN BURKE Robert Blumberg Doc made a forceful entry into the school at the beginning of our junior year and has since made himself a power in the class. He will perhaps be remembered longest as the harmonizer in the Busy B Barbershop Quartet. His former military training placed him on almost an equal footing in the struggle for officers’ com- missions and he finally ended up as part time commander of the newly-formed Headquarters Company. His two short years at St. Thomas have won him a lasting place in the affections of this year’s class. Military: 2nd Lieut; Honor Badges, 2; Crack Platoon on Skates, ’39; Crack Platoon, ’38; Best Company, '38. Activities: Booster Club, ’38. James Bruzek Jim is probably the most business-like member of our class. The careful, methodical manner that distinguishes his every action is positive assurance of his future success. To us he is, and always will remain, a friend of quiet demeanor, yet one upon whom we can surely depend. Of a mechanical bent, Jim does well in all his classes yet still has time to engage in many an outside activity, both social and military. Military: 1st Lieut.; Crack Squad, ’38; Freshman Drill Platoon, '39; second-in- command; Honor Badges, 8. Activities: Kathodian Club, ’39; Kaydct Staff, ”38, ’39; Officers’ Club, '39; Eagle Award, ’36. John Burke John’s success at school is but an indication of greater success to come. His energetic application to his work has been rewarded by high grades and a com- mission in the cadet corps. In his capacity as president of the Kathodian Club he has proved resourceful, original, and dependable. He bears the respect and friendship of his classmates and leaves St. Thomas with their good wishes ringing in his ears. Military: 1st Lieut.; Officers’ Club, ’39; Best Company, ’37; Crack Platoon on Skates, ’38-’39; Camp Ripley, ’38; Honor Badges, 7. Activities: Eagle Award, ’36, ’37, ‘38; Kathodians, '37, ’38, pres., ’38; Booster Club, ’39; Kaydet Staff, ’39; Guidon Staff, ’39; Swimming, '38. FRANK BURNS JAMES F. CALLAGHAN JAMES CECKA Frank Burns Frank’s jovial and friendly manner has won for him a secure place in the hearts of his classmates. He is widely known as a practical joker, and when a comical situation arises Frank is usually found to be the originator of the plot. However, his horse-play has been tempered by hard serious work and his good work as a cadet captain has proved him entirely capable of assuming responsibility. St. Thomas regrets his departure and will certainly be duller without him. Military: Freshman Crack Platoon, Best Platoon, ’36, ’37; Crack Platoon, ’37, ’38; Best Company, ’37; Camp Ripley, '38; R.O.T.C. camp, ’38; Honor Badges, 8; Military Monogram, ’39. Activities: Basketball, ’38 (mgr.); Officers' Club, ’39; Monogram Club, ’39. James F. Callaghan During his four years at St. Thomas, Jim has been an unusual student. He is especially noted for his broad knowledge of religion and religious teaching. His absolute confidence and thorough knowledge have established Jim as one always ready to debate steadfastly and ably on almost any point. Whatever line you choose, Jim, we join in hoping that you reach the top. Military: Private First Class, ’36; Honor Badges, 4; Best Platoon, ’38. Activities: Boarder Intramurals, ’36, ’37, ’38; Boarder Choir, ’38. James Cecka Jim, who has been with us only two years, will leave behind him at St. Thomas the memory of a cadet whose cheerful nature combined with his pleasing manner, ?;aincd for him the friendship of all his fellow students. Jim has played varsity ootball and has participated in all the intramural events on the campus. His carefree pleasing manner assures him success in his walk of life. Military: Best Platoon, ’38, ’39; Best Squad, ’39. Activities: B team football, ’38; Golf, ’39; Boarder intramurals, ’38, ’39. Boarder choir, ’38; Football, ’38. JOHN CONLEY THOMAS CORDALIS ELMER CORTEAU John Conley Upon John has been bestowed the honor of bearing our regimental colors. As color-bearer he has performed his duties capably and faithfully. John’s wit and humor are known to all but especially to the boarders, among whom he is quite a favorite. His personality is not only witty but engaging as well and this explains his popularity. We are sure the future holds both success and enjoyment for you, John. Military: Color Sgt.; Honor badges, 3. Activities: Boarder Intramurals, ’36, ’37, ’38, ’39. Altar Society, ’36. Thomas Cordalis In Tom’s two short years at St. Thomas he has distinguished himself in more fields than one. In the military department he has risen to the rank of cadet corporal. He was a fast-charging hard-hitting lineman in football and a weight man in track. If he approaches all future problems with the persistent application he has displayed at St. Thomas we feel sure he need have no worries for the years to come. Military: Corporal; Honor Badges, 3; Camp Ripley, ’38. Activities: Football, ’38, ’39; Guidon Staff, ’38; Monogram Club. Elmer Corteau We have known Elmer as a good student and as a fine fellow, but most of all we shall remember him for his editorial activities. He is the man who revived the Guidon on his own initiative. It is possible that we may see Elmer in many lines of work, but the place we shall expect to find his name is at the top of a newspaper column. We believe that the time he has spent at St. Thomas is an indication of the future. Need we say more?

ALBERT COTEA EARL COVERDALE HAROLD CRAGG Albert Cotea If there is anyone in the Senior class who might be said to have the faculty of making friends, he is Al. He seems to have that knack for which we all strive, and he has it to a marked degree. But Al has done more than meet people. After being on the Crack Platoon and Crack Squad, he this year was appointed a cadet officer, a fact that we feel presages his future achievements.

Earl Coverdale Passing from the portals of St. Thomas this June is a man who for four years has unreservedly devoted himself to the task of gaining knowledge. His name is Earl Coverdale. Earl’s piety and priestly aspirations have not kept him from winning a reputation as a courageous and dangerous boxer. He is held in the highest esteem by his fellow classmates both as a loyal friend and as a man to be admired. May your every hope and ambition be realized, Earl!

Military: Best Company, ’37, ’38; Honor Bars, 2; Corporal, ’38, ’39. Harold Cragg We have always regarded Harold as one of the most cultured and talented members of our class. His accomplishments range from golf, of which he is coach and captain, to acting, for which he is well known. But even more impressive than his accomplishments is Mac himself. Some say his widespread popularity is not limited to the fellows. Be that as it may, Harold is the type of fellow whom everyone wants to know and whose opinion everyone respects. His leisurely spirit will always make itself felt. Military: Captain; Freshman Drill Platoon, ’36; Best Squad ’37; Honor Badges, 6; Officers’ Club ’39; Camp Ripley, ’38.

PAUL CULLEN RICHARD DALY LDWARD H. DANAHEY Paul Cullen In a quiet likeable manner, Paul has done much to make his stay at St. Thomas a memorable one. As an officer in the corps, as a member of the football team, and as a diligent student he has lent his whole-hearted cooperation to the school. Liked and respected as he is, we bid a regretful farewell to Paul with the assurance that he will be a welcome addition to the school’s favorite alumni. Military: Best Squad, ’36; Best Company, ’36; Freshman Crack Platoon, ’36; Crack Platoon, ’37; Camp Ripley, ’38; 7 honor bars; 2nd. Lieut., ’39; Officers’ Club. Activities: Freshman Football, ’35; Football, ’38. Richard Daly Dick is one of the most active members of the senior class. His many fine qualities have marked him as a fellow who is going places. His willingness to cooperate and his hard work have made him the handy man of the graduating class. His likeable manner, combined with social inclinations, has won for him a legion of friends and well wishers who will ever follow his future endeavors with interest.

Edward H. Danahey Ted’s quiet but diligent application to his studies has made him a science student of the very finest type. His capabilities in the scientific field have ever been the envy of his classmates. However Ted has not confined his attention to science alone but has also contrived to maintain a uniformly high scholastic standard and in the military field has risen to the rank of Regimental Sergeant-Major. We are certain that the perseverance and diligence of his study are ample insurance for his future. Military: Sergeant-Major, ’39; Honor Badges, 2.

JAMES DILLON JOSEPH DILLON RICHARD DOHERTY James Dillon Rich’s accomplishments in four short years would form quite a list. Outstanding among them would be his military achievements, a captaincy in the corps and the post of commander of the Crack Squad. Nevertheless, we will probably remember Rich most for the good humor which he somehow found time to develop in spite of his numerous activities. With so engaging a personality we cannot visualize him as anything but a success.

Joseph Dillon Ability as a student, a ready wit, and a merry twinkle in his eye have characterized Joe’s one short year at St. Thomas. His winning personality and abundance of good humor have added much to our last year in the Academy. His fellows regret that they did not know him sooner. Military: 1 Honor Bar.

Although his studies have occupied a good deal of his time, he has always found plenty of opportunity to talk to and joke with his friends. As you leave the school, Dick, you should be very proud; proud that the good impression you made on your fellow classmates in the beginning has been proved true and that since then your friends have grown and grown in number and in affection.

DONOGHUE DANIEL DUFFY BERNARD DUGAN John W, Donoghue The natural leader of the boarders was this year rewarded for past performance by his appointment to the captaincy of the boarder company, which he has built into one of the finest companies in the corps. On the gridiron he was a great defensive center and on the baseball diamond he made his mark as a pitcher. He has become one of the most popular students on the campus and his Eagle Awards give eloquent testimony to his scholastic attainments. We shall sincerely miss Jack, a leader in the academy and a future leader in the world. Military: Freshman Crack Drill, ’36; Best Platoon, ’38; Captain, ’39; Camp Ripley, ’39; Honor Badges, 8.

At all times willing to lend a helping hand, Dan has created a place for himself in our memories of St. Thomas from which he shall not soon be dislodged. What he has done in the past obviates the necessity for wishing him good luck, but the class joins in extending to him our best wishes.

We believe that his two years at St. Thomas have prepared him for any profession he may choose. If Bernard had been able to spend four years here we feel certain he would rank high in the Military Department. JOHN P. FOOHEY RICHARD GARLOCK GEORGE GHIZONI John P. Foohey The outstanding traits of Paul’s character are impetuous generosity and genial good humor. Paul possesses the enviable quality of immediately making everyone he meets a close friend. He is a fine fellow and a good athlete. His upright carriage has fitted him for the post of Regimental color bearer. It is with many a sidelong glance of regret that we bid Paul goodbye and good luck. Military: Best Platoon, ’38; Boarder Bugle; Sergeant, ’39; Honor Badges, 3. Activities: Football, ’37; Intramurals, ’36, ’37, ’38, '39. Richard Garlock There is little that we can say to express exactly how much a fellow like Dick means to us. We sincerely believe that what little we as a class have accomplished in our four years has been done very largely with the cooperation of Dick’s kind. He is an affable, personable, and dependable cadet. We join in the hope that both in college and in business life, Dick may enjoy all good fortune. Military: Crack Platoon on Skates, ’39; Best Company, ’38; Camp Ripley, ’38. George Ghizoni George’s most obvious claim to fame is his athletic prowess. He has made himself a power on the gridiron as a speedy, shifty back, on the basketball court as a great guard, and on the baseball diamond as a fine third baseman. Captain of this year’s basketball squad, George mdc the All City squad as well as numerous ''All- Conference” teams. But he has not confined himself to athletics. He has besides found time to be a good student, an officer in the corps, and a fine fellow whom everyone likes. It is with real confidence in his future that his many friends bid him good-bye.

He has been featured in both humorous and serious roles, but, though he was admired for his serious parts, his real success has come in the humorous line. Bob also holds the record among the graduating class for rapid growth. His many friends are not hesitant about saying that the gap he leaves in graduating will not soon be filled.

Frank Grauel Frank, with his good-natured smile and quiet way of putting his ideas across, impresses one as a person who has the necessary qualities for success. He has made hosts of friends for himself in his stay at St. Thomas, mostly because of his willingness to help other people. These and other numerous laudable qualities have adequately proved him a fellow to be watched in the future. Thus, it is with mingled sorrow and best wishes that Frank is bid adieu. Military: Best Platoon, ’36; Eagle Award, 1; Honor Badge, 1. Charles Greene Looking back on four pleasant years at St. Thomas we find among our more treasured associates a Mr. Charles Greene. We are sure that Chuck has made the same impression on all others with whom he has come in contact. His eager enthusiasm for any and all things, his quick wit, and amiable nature have made him one of the most popular athletes in school. Chuck has earned several letters in football, basketball, and baseball and is always the sparkplug of any team. Fortune will always smile on this ’'regular feller.” Military: Crack Platoon on Skates, ’39; Honor Bars, 2; Best Company, ’38.

He possesses a winning brand of initiative which assures his success in the many activities which he undertakes so enthusiast- ically and supports so energetically. He has surmounted the many hurdles of academic and military life and finished among the leaders. We all await the day when Teds’ ambition to become a top notch radio announcer will be realized.

Joseph Hamel The record which Joe has established at St. Thomas would be good for anyone, but for a three-year man it is well-nigh miraculous. He was a hard-skating regular on the hockey team, a member of the Crack Squad, and, last and best, one of our finest lieutenants. For these accomplishments he is known and admired, but he will be best remembered as a regular fellow. We hope that we may judge Joe’s future by his past.

DONALD HARRINGTON ROBERT HASSELBALCH EDWARD HEALY Donald Harrington Don is truly a campus noteworthy. He is widely known and liked for a personality which is at once suave and amiable. Besides being an interesting companion, Don is a very fine athlete. He is known especially for his fleetness of foot, which has stood him in good stead in both football and track, which he captained. St. Thomas is certain to miss him as much as we, his classmates, will. Military: Best Company, ’36; Freshman Drill Platoon, ’36; Honor Badges, 2.

We shall always remember him as a fine classmate, a fine fellow, and as one whose absence we shall certainly feel. Military: Freshman Drill Platoon, ’38; Sergeant, ’39; Honor Badges, 4.

Heinett There are many diligent persons in our midst, but few more conscientious and hard working than Len. His affable countenance and cheerful word are not going to be easily forgotten by any of us. Throughout his course, Len has maintained a high scholastic record, and in addition has gained the status of an officer in the corps. Business is the field he plans to enter and he has our best wishes for success. Military: Best Platoon, ’37; Second Lieut., ’39; Honor Badges, 8.

He has been Editor of the Guidon, of the Boarder Bugle, of the Camp Ripley Trumpeter, sports editor of the Kaydet, and a cadet lieutenant. He also won a highly sought position on the Crack Squad during his first year at the Academy. His natural ability and his well known dependability have made him a fine man to work with. He is universally regarded with admiration and affection. The future need hold no terrors for you, Don. Military: Crack Squad, ’38, ’39; Second Lieut., ’39; Honor Bars, 2; Camp Ripley.

He has been on the track team for three years and his hard work and brilliant performances were this year rewarded by a captaincy of that organization and the presidency of the Monogram Club. Nor has he neglected his school work, which fact is attested to by his Eagle Awards. Qualified as he is, we are sure that in the future John will go on winning the friendship of his associates as he has in the past.

JOHN HIBBARD WILLIAM HORGAN JOHN P. HUNTER John Hibbard Jack is a fellow of wide acquaintance and popularity. He is socially inclined, but does not allow these leanings to interfere with his school work. He is widely known as a hot drummer. Throughout his years at St. Thomas, Jack has displayed a loyalty to the school and a sincere interest in its every phase which entitles him to a good deal of credit. We shall not soon forget Jack and we hope that he will not soon forget us. William Morgan Bill is without doubt one of our very finest fellows. He has zest, perseverance, and dependability. Anything that Bill has charge of is pretty certain to be a success. So it is that Bill has made his mark in the corps of cadets. He is an officer, in command of one of our finest units, and will always remain, we feel sure, the fine friend that he is today.

Jordan Mike’s good nature and genial personality have meant far more to us than he may ever think. We have admired him for the manifestly high qualities of his nature and particularly for his self-sufficiency. For those of us who realize only too well our own shortcomings along this line, such a trait seems particularly admirable. We shall especially remember Mike for his loyalty to friends and school and for having the best-looking uniform in the entire class. Military: Honor Bars, 2. John Keefe John is one of those unusual fellows who can successfully combine the pursuit of happiness with the pursuit of learning. He wears an ever-smiling visage and has an ever-ready line of small-talk. His popularity may be based upon these attributes or it may be based upon the intelligent conversations which he sometimes elects to carry on. These reveal that he is especially well-read. It is with a tinge of regret that we bid farewell to this mischievous Micawber and wish him every success in the future. Military: Best Company, ’37; Crack Platoon on Skates, ’37, ’38, ’39.

John’s love of sports has led to his being a familiar figure on the gridiron and diamond, and his presence has driven many an Academy team to greater heights. He has held important posts on the Crack Platoon on Skates for the last two years. We wish him all good luck in his chosen field, be it his sporting love, baseball, or a business career.

ROBERT KLINE ROBERT KOENIG WILLIAM KRUMPELMANN Robert Kline One of the most persistent and able talkers in our class is Bob Kline. He has, furthermore, the rare faculty of getting things done. He possesses an exceptionally acute mind and an unusually frank and straightforward personality. Bob is the type of fellow who will probably come around some day and sell all of his classmates something which they emphatically do not want. And what’s more he’ll make them like it. He holds down the super-salesman spot in our hall of fame. More power to you, Bob! Military: Sergeant, ’39; Best Platoon, ’37; Freshman Crack Platoon, ’37; Camp Ripley, ’38.

Robert Koenig Although Bob has been with us for only two short years, he has come to show the true St. Thomas spirit. He is known among the boarders as a billiard expert. He is ever willing to sacrifice his time in order to help a friend and this is one of the reasons for Bob’s large circle of intimates. We are sure that his fine qualities will carry him far in future life. Military: Best Company, ’38; Conduct Bars, 2. Activities: Altar Society, ’38, ’39; Boarder Intramurals, '38, ’39. William Krumpelmann Krump, as he is known to his friends, has done a good deal at St. Thomas in the way of proving his abilities. As a fine shot on the rifle team for three years and as a member of the crack platoon for two years he has built for himself an enviable record. Hard work and natural endowments have combined to earn him a commission in the corps. These, his accomplishments, combined with his ability to win friends are a portent of his bright future.

A well known skiing enthusiast and amateur bicycle racer, he is sometimes called Torchy because of the latter activity. Highly regarded by everyone, he has won many friends because of his cheerful and sincere manner. As a member of the hockey team he has added much to both his and the team’s success. So, looking forward to the time when Judd justifies our faith in him, we wish him success in everything he does. Military: Corporal, ’37; Sergeant, ’38; Best Company, ’37; Honor Badges, 2.

Tom Laughliti It will indeed be a sad day for this institution when this jocose wag departs from its portals, for Tom has, we feel, really contributed something to life at St. Thomas. He is a paragon of goodfellowship, always ready with that expansive, all-including, friendly smile. Academically Tom is outstanding and is an Eagle Award winner. Certainly we can prophesy nothing but success for this merry Falstaff. Mi.itary: Sargeant, ’39; Camp Ripley, ’39; Honor Bars, 4.

LEONARD LEANDER PAUL LFPAK ROBERT I.IEB Leonard Leander We believe that without this jovial musician classes would have been much more dull and we are certain that the band would have been far less worth listening to. His betwcen-class impromptu concerts and his amusing discussions with our instructors have gone a long way toward lightening our load. Stamped on this fine student’s character are many praiseworthy attributes. Among them is relig- iousness. Len has aspirations to the priesthood. We feel that no finer person could be found for this magnificent vocation than Len. May life yield Len as much enjoyment as knowing him has afforded us.

Paul’s departure leaves a gap in the student body which is not apt to be soon filled. Military: Best Platoon, ’36. Activities: Guidon Staff, ’38; Honor Bars, 5.

JOHN MAHONEY PATRICK MALONEY ROBERT MAPELLI John Mahoney John will stand out in our minds for many reasons, but most of all because of his ability as an athlete. The high point of his athletic career was his election to the captaincy of the football team. Besides football he has starred at one time or another in skating, swimming, tennis, and track. John is one of the most widely known and best liked men of the whole class. His light-hearted competent approach to life at St. Thomas is a prediction of the future.

In addition to his achievements in school, which include an officer’s commission and letters in many sports, he has distinguished himself in the Northwest as a speed skater while wearing our colors. Such things reflect heavy praise upon the school as well as upon Pat. Although it seems hardly necessary, we nevertheless express the desire that all good fortune may attend Pat in later life.

JOHN McCANN CHARLES McCOY JOHN McERLANE John McCann If the members of our class were asked to give their summation of Jack’s principal characteristics, there can be no doubt that more than a few would mention his personality and his flair for mixing with people.

He prefers to listen and learn instead of doing all the talking. A staunch member of the band for four years, Chuck has contributed much to the success of that organization. We are proud to have been associated with you, Chuck, real friend and loyal cadet that you are, so may all your troubles be little ones!

Without doubt it is his kind of quiet efficiency that consistently can be depended upon to pull us through the most rigid inspection with flying colors. It is to fellows like him as much as to our officers that we owe the development of the school. We wish him the very best of good luck in his college days and in his business life.

Leo McGough A man who has never made himself conspicuous, never attempted to place himself in the public eye, but who has, nevertheless, entrenched himself in the affections of his classmates is Leo McGough. Though he inclines toward quietness, when there is a clever remark to be made or a joke to be pulled Leo is generally at hand with the quip. He is the type of person who always considers the other fellow’s feelings and sentiments. It is for these qualities that his friends admire him. We are sure the fates of the future will be good to you, Leo. Military: Cadet Corporal; Best Company, ’36.

MITCHELL Harold Meehan Skip” is a man whom we have always considered to be among the leaders of the class in social activities. We trace this popularity of his to a personality which can perhaps best be termed sparkling. In him are combined an adventurous spirit, a ready wit, and a frequently-flashing smile. For us to offer good wishes for the future to a fellow of Harold’s magnetic individuality is indeed superfluous. Lohrn Miller Unfortunately for us, Lohrn completed his course in February. In addition to having a good friend leave, we felt the loss of an excellent officer. Lohrn gained the rank of captain in the cadet corps, and also stood out as a particularly fine marksman on the rifle team. Although he was not with us for government inspec- tion, he aided greatly in the preparation for it by his early work as commander of Company C James J. Mitchell Jim’s attractive personality has summoned a legion of friends to his side. He has been a loyal supporter of the school in every field of endeavor. We will always remember him as the favorite of Dcrham Hall, for in social activities he has ever been a leader among the boarders. It is with sentiments of heart-felt regret that we bid Jim good-bye.

MULLANEY William Moss It is with a thorough sense of admiration and respect that we speak of our classmate and Colonel, Bill. His surpassing record in class work and in military' fix him among the academy immortals and implant him deeply in our minds as an example of something which every student should strive to attain. Religious, a leader of exceptional ability, not only in military but socially too. Bill has molded himself into a magnetic individualist who is likely to succeed in anything he undertakes.

Frank C. Mullaney Frank’s sharp sense of humor and his wise smile have endeared him to many. His native intelligence has won him scholastic honors and made a favorable impression upon teachers and fellow students alike. He is known as a fellow who likes to tinker, especially with electrical gadgets. This inclination to tinker has manifested itself in his amateur- radio station. His ability at his hobby is demonstrated by the fact that he and his brother kept their decrepit old Lizzie” alive during the strain of the recent winter.

Mullaney In his four years at St. Thomas, Jack, in his quiet, well-mannered way, has burrowed a path into the hearts of his classmates. His numerous friends value him for his earnestness and cleverness. Though Jack keeps up all his grades, his real interest is radio and electricity. Judging from the aptitude which he has shown thus far, we expect him some day to become a big electrical engineer. Military: Staff, ’39. Activities: Honor Bars, ’36, ’37, ’38, ’39. RICHARD NALEWAY WARREN NELSON ALVIN NEUBERGER Richard Naleway Dick Naleway is a fine example of the type of student St. Thomas attempts to mould. Dick’s eagle awards attest to his intellectual excellence and his letters to his athletic prowess, but we will always remember him best as a friend and intelligent classmate. Excelling in the fields of music and writing, we feel that Dick will be heard from in one or both. Military: Lieutenant, ’39; Honor Badges, 7; Officer’s Club, ’39; Military Band, ’36, ’37, ’38, ’39.

Warren Nelson Warren is an integral part of the class of ”39”. His unusual outlook on life and his original sense of humor contribute to a personality which can be best described as refreshing. Ncls is what is commonly known as a good mixer. Anyone with him is inevitably having a good time and plenty of laughs. Warren is not only a humorist but also a loyal and generous friend to everyone. For one such as he the future is always bright. Military: Best Company, ’36; Honor Badges, 2; Camp Ripley, '39; Freshman Crack Platoon, ’36. Activities: Golf, ’39. Alvin Neuberger To say that Al has come to be a campus figure would, we fear, be a classical understatement. His is far more than such an expression could ever hope to tell. Congeniality is his most noteworthy trait, and it is for that that we shall remember him. Whatever field he may choose to enter, he can always feel confident that he cnioys our very heartiest wish for success and good fortune. Military: Best Company, ’38. Activities: Honor Badges, 1. DILLON O BRIEN JOHN O’KEEFE EDWARD O’LEARY Dillon O’Brien Dillon is one fellow whose future causes us not one whit of worry. We know full well, having been his classmates for four years, that he is capable of great things. We seriously dislike the prospect of leaving Dillon, for his type is so rare and yet so genuine that it is only instinctive to hold firmly to his friendship. Best of good fortune, Dillon, from your host of good friends. Military: Corporal, ’38; Camp Ripley, ’38; Honor Badges, 2. Activities: Guidon, ’38. John O’Keefe John’s quiet, serious attitude toward life, his consideration and feeling of fellowship for others and his conscientious acceptance of responsibility have made him the man he is. John’s sense of humor, however, complements his serious side to make him the full bodied character that is so admired, respected and liked by student body and faculty alike. We may well set up John as an ideal model for cadets to follow. It is a pleasure to have associated with you, John. May the crossroads of our friendship never be reached. Military: Lt.

Edward O’Leary Many of us have often felt the inclination to ask how Ed can ever support all of those medals he carries on his chest. These medals testify to his ability as a marksman. For three years Ed has been a mainstay of our noted rifle ream. His success at St. Thomas has not been limited to cracking the bulls eye but has also included the other fields of endeavor. His staunch comraderie I� is won him many friends who are all certain that Ed is destined for big things.

MICHAEL O’RIELLY LARRY O’SHAUGHNESSY CLAY PARDO Michael O'Rielly Mike was new at St. Thomas this year, but because of his likeable personality it took only a very short time for him to become one of us. He has been handi- capped in the military field in that he has been here such a short time, but this did not seem to hinder him scholastically or socially. Keep on as you have, Mike, and you are assured of success. Larry O'Shaughnessy Larry can well boast of his commission in the corps, his captaincy- of the swimming team, and his fine scholastic rating, since all were gained after a two-year absence from school. But we like him even more for his excellence as a mixer and for his fine personality. Well-read, and well-traveled, Larry is perhaps the most cosmopolitan member of our class. We predict that some day Larry will occupy a prominent pla x in the hall of literary fame.

He was a mainstay of the rifle team for three years, a dependable man on the cinder path, and a fine musician. In addition he has found time to keep his scholastic average well up. Clay could be a success in many lines of endeavor. Military: First Sergeant, ’38, ’39; Camp Ripley, ’38; Best Company, ’38; Honor Bars, 1; Stars, 6.

PHILIP PFANMUELLER RAYMOND PFLUM THOMAS PHII.BEN Philip Pfanmueller Phil’s good work in school has won him respect, his good sportsmanship in all intra-mural sports has won him admiration, and his cheery personality has won him a large number of friends both among the boarders and in the rest of the class. So it was no surprise whatsoever that we received the news that Phil had been elected vice-president of the class. We are sure that Phil shall continue on through life winning the friendly respect, admiration, and approval that he has won at St. Thomas.

Raymond Pflum Ray’s cheery and agreeable demeanor has endeared him to all of us during his stay at St. Thomas. His warm friendship has often been a source of encouragement to his fellows. That Ray’s time has been well spent is shown by his scholastic record, his athletic successes, and his universal popularity. We are sure the future holds big things for Ray.

Thomas Philben Tom is one of the finest saxophonists St. Thomas has seen in recent years. He is also one of the most considerate and thoughtful fellows in the class. These two factors have combined to make him both liked and admired by everyone on the campus. Moreover he is a good student. We are expecting to hear from Tom in the future as he will more than likely climb the heights of musical eminence.

Porter, Jr. Bob’s stay with us has been for but two brief years but in that time he has gained our universal respect and sincere admiration. He has entered bombastically into life at St. Thomas. His enthusiastic cheer-leading has pepped up many a football and basketball game. He is a dependable swimmer and track man. Bob is the type of person who becomes an immediate and fast friend of everyone he meets. Because of this characteristic he has built up a circle of friends which is both large and varied. Bob has intelligence and initiative but we believe that the trait which will carry him the farthest is his faculty for making friends.

Richard Prettyman Although Arch has spent only two years as a cadet, that time has been sufficient for all of us to regret sincerely that we were not able to enjoy his companionship and abundant good humor for the whole four years. A conversation with him is always flavored with crackling humor and a sprinkling of snappy come-backs. Arch feels most at home on the baseball court and has built up quite a reputation for himself as a sharpshooter. He is welcome in any crowd. Military: Camp Ripley, ’38. Activities: Basketball, ’38, ’39. Willis Rech Willis’ agreeable and pleasing nature has made him a friend to everyone.

Regan A constant and able conversationalist, a purveyor of dipsy dialogue and inane witticisms, a brilliant and versatile mind, these phrases can be associated with no one but Jack Regan. Jack has become famous as the man who will discuss any subject or argue over any question at any time. What’s more, he generally knows what he’s talking about; and on those infrequent occasions when he doesn't, he is still able to convey the impression that he does. Jack’s list of accomplishments is much too long to recount; suffice it to say that it is headed by the rank of Lt.-Colonel. We don’t know whether it will be in the field of military, law, politics, or business but we all rest assured that some day we shall most certainly hear from Jack. Military: Lt.

Paul Rif kin On a forgotten day in the dim, dim past some wag wished the pseudonym of ''Butch” upon Paul, and since then he has been striving to live it down. Far from being a large, ignorant bum such as the appellation Butch” calls to mind, Paul is an extremely likeable fellow, intelligent, well-mannered, and rather happy- go-lucky. Combined with his excellent wit, these attributes have won him numerous friends during his years at St. Thomas. Endowed with these qualities together with a natural business talent, Paul should go far in his chosen field of endeavor.

Jack Roddy One often wonders when the humor lurking and peeping behind the windows of smilin’ Jack’s eyes will step out the grinning doorway of his mouth. With his drawling drolleries and easy manner he has won much more than the hearts of the cadets. He is interested in everything St. Thomas accomplishes athletically and himself is a tennis player of the very finest type. We shall make it a point not to lose sight of Jack for no one could ever take his place. Military: Honor Bars, 4.

ROBERT ROGERS EDWIN ROSE KEITH ROSECRANS Robert Rogers During our stay at St. Thomas we have derived great pleasure and enjoyment from the companionship of Boh Rogers. He is unusually well informed on sports and in an argument can quote statistics with bewildering rapidity. He played basketball and was one of the two returning veterans from last year’s golf team. With complete assurance we predict that Bob will continue to bat out pars in the great game of life.

Edwin Rose One of the fun-lovingcst” fellows on the campus, Ed has cavorted merrily through his three years at St. Thomas. He is a master of the practical joke, and can preserve his own equanimity under any and all circumstances. A member of the cadet band, Ed has contributed his share to the advancement of that organization for he has practiced diligently and promises to become a good musician. We have enjoyed our association with you, Ed, so good luck, and may we meet in the future. Military: Band, ’36, ’37, ’39; Sergeant, ’39.

A hard worker, he has given his best efforts to more than one enterprise. His sunny personality, together with his other admirable traits, has done much to make him the well liked fellow he is. He has won recognition for his consistantly good work in the field of science and proved his ability in the rest of his studies. We hope Keith misses us as much as we shall miss him.

Rowan There are few persons, if any, in our class whom we like better, or to whom we point with more pride, than Walt. Serious minded, industrious, and of extremely high ideals, he is nevertheless entirely natural and unassuming. Walt’s skill in the art of composition is even more than a confirmation of his makeup. His honors form merely concrete evidence of the esteem in which he is held by his intimates, his acquaintances, and his teachers.

William J. Savage Billy, the minute vocalist of Ireland Hall, will be remembered for several reasons. He is perhaps best known as the mascot of the initial Crack Squad, since it was his connection with the squad that made it so unusual. Many recall his talents in the fine art of billiards. He is known as a good student, a cheerful and steadfast friend, and an all around good fellow. We believe he has a happy and enjoyable future before him.

Raymond Schorsch Immediately upon entering, Ray set out to build up a circle of friends and he has since broadened this circle to a great extent. His friends like him for his spirit of good fellowship, his unique brand of humor, and his carefree manner. He has been an active participator in all intra-mural and boarder sports. We regret that he must leave us and wonder how he may ever be replaced. RICHARD SHERIDAN ROBERT SHIELY RUSSELL SLYNGSTAD Richard Sheridan This lean, rangy, gracious looking fellow has a personality which can be best described as pleasant. Those who know him admire his level headedness. His military bearing and snappy step earned him the post of leading guide of the Crack Drill Platoon for two successive years. Dick departs from St. Thomas accompanied by the respect, admiration, and hearty good wishes of every one of his classmates.

Robert Shiely A triple threat man in the game of education, Bob has excelled in the academic, military, and athletic departments. A clever student, a soldierly cadet, and a depend- able basketball player and trackman, he has made an indelible mark on the school. Even more apparent are his native endowments of leadership and wit which have won for him a position of unusual influence in the class. His record as commander of the Crack Platoon on Skates will make it very difficult for his successor. We don’t like to part with Bob.

Russell Slyngstad At St. Thomas Russ has made his mark in more fields than one. He is an officer in the cadet corps, a fine trackman, a member of the Kaydet staff, and has been numbered among the heads of the Altar Society. He has always been a leader among the boarders in every way. Many have found him to be a staunch friend and fellow. St. Thomas is proud of him and will follow his future life with interest.

MARSHALL SMITH RICHARD STEINER PAUL SULLIVAN Marshall Smith In Marshall Smith, virtuoso of the trumpet and of many other arts there is an insatiable thirst for the new and novel. As president of the newly-formed Parnassian Club, he has constantly urged the members on to greater activity. His flashing smile and buoyant optimism, as lifting as the lilt of his playing, have consrantly cheered the lives of his fellow classmates. We are sure that in his life to come Marsh’s ready, willing self will be as indispensiblc to his associates as his playing is to our band.

Richard Steiner Dick has passed serenely his four years at St. Thomas, gaining many fast friends by his good-natured acceptance of situations as they are and his constant readiness to speak a good word for anyone. He has tried both the corps and the band but prefers the latter. He is also a dependable basketballcr. Since fortune smiles on the good-hearted, we need have no worries about Dick’s future.

Paid Sullivan When happier philosophies of life arc formulated, Sully” will formulate ’em. During his sojurn at Club du St. Thomas, Paul has perfected the technique of simultaneously absorbing knowledge and living life to a degree hitherto unsurpassed. His personal charm and sympathetic understanding of others has endeared him to the hearts of all. In his jaunt through life, Paul, we feel sure, will never be at a loss conversationally, whether speaking to a ditch digger or to a Park Avenue dowager. Military: Sergeant, ’39; Honor Bars, 2.

WILSON SWAN JOHN SWEENEY JEROME THAYER Wilson Swan During his stay at St. Thomas, Wilson has won for himself a large circle of friends both within the school and without. He is known as something of a social lion. Painstaking and extended practice has made of him an excellent bugler. He has a mechanical bent which, if followed, may lead to great things. We, his classmates, wonder how Wilson will ever be replaced. Military: Crack Platoon on Skates, ’37, ’38, 39; Honor Badges, 3; Best Company, ’37. John Sweeney John is inclined to be quiet and unobtrusive but a closer inspection shows us that upon occasion he can display a good deal of cleverness. Besides this he is hard working and dependable both in school and in athletics. It is men of his calibre who are the backbone of the corps. Whatever John may decide upon for his profession, we all extend to him our heartiest wishes for good fortune.

Possessing a zest for living and a love of fun equaled by few, Jerry is one of the chief exponents of the Live Life for the Laughs” school of thought. We know he will enjoy life because he will always look at its sunny side. Military: 1st Sgt., ’39; Camp Ripley, ’38; Best Company, ’36; Honor Badges, 6.

During his stretch at St. Thomas his affable disposition has won him a place not only in the hearts of his fellow classmates, but in the estimation of the entire student body. Red has a friendly smile for everyone. In football and track burly Len is a com- petitor of no mean ability. It is with deepest regret and sincerest wishes for his future success and happiness that we bid adieu to one of the finest, friendliest fellows ever to tread this campus.

Wilfred Trlisten Wilfred is one of those quiet utterly unassuming fellows whom we often value far more highly and reckon much more estimable than those whose presence is ever too self-evident. Steadily he has maintained a high standing in his class, and it is upon just such ones as he that we fall back in inspections and competitions. The heartiest good wishes of every member of the senior class go out to Wilfred for success. Military: Honor Bars, 2. Thomas Voegtli Tom is a hard working fellow who, by ceaseless application to his school work, has become known as a good student. Affectionately called The Flying Dutchman ’ by his many friends, he has proved himself worthy of the name by excelling in that language course. His willing way, combined with a cheery and bright personality, has marked him as a fellow headed for future success.

He is also an athlete, having participated in football and in all intramural sports. He has won for himself a number of intimates who like him for his friendly wit. And thus we have him, scholar, part-time athlete, and friend. The world always has a place for such as he. Military: Best Platoon, ’58; Crack Platoon on Skates; Camp. Activities: Football, ’38. Lawrence Williams Fluff” has that most excellent quality, a sparkling personality. He is exceptionally witty and a versatile mixer. Yet not to the detriment of his other activities is this so, for he has gained prestige in the corps of cadets and is an estimable student. His spirit has constantly found an outlet, be it Crack Platoon, rifle team, or golf team. But his genial good humor will, we feel sure, always attract his fellow students most.

DNIM3IA VH3WV0 lSDf WE SNAP THE SENIORS AT DRILL AND DANCE AT WORK AND PLAY SOME SELF- CONSCIOUS SOME UN- AWARE As reward for three years of patient and earnest effort the juniors are about to receive the highest honor which can be won by a cadet—a com- mission as an officer in the corps of cadets. At each coming of spring there has come the realization that their cherished goal is ever nearer at hand. Now the fulfillment of that goal is almost upon them. In reviewing the collective and individual records of this group we find that their achievements in the various fields of learning have earned for them a very enviable position. Their development has gradually progressed to the point where they are adequately equipped to handle any matter, whether it be in the classroom, on the drill field, or on the gridiron, with an ease bespeaking a thorough knowledge and practical application of the liberal education which they have received. Certainly, these juniors may feel justly proud of the quali- ifications which they present in application for their commissions as cadet officers.

ROLLINC ALONG TO 1941 OUR SOPHOMORES In the year just past these cadets have been intrusted with their first position of authority and have demonstrated their ability to cope with all problems in a fine display of initiative and perseverance. For the first time, probably, they are beginning to realize the significance of the various types of training which they are receiving. From the military training which they have received has come a fuller appreciation of the meaning of an ordered existence, the discipline, and the courtesy so necessary to any man regardless of the part he is to play in this world. The athletic program is developing many a future great from among these sophomores. But more, it has given these cadets an under- standing of the ideals of fair play, the need for whole-hearted co-operation, and a keen zest for wholesome living. In the classrooms of the Academy the application of these ideas has borne fruit as evidenced by the fine scholastic work being done by these cadets, both as individuals and as members of the group. To recall his triumphs is the privilege of the victor, but to press on to greater heights denotes something infinitely more estimable. It is with this picture of the sophomores that we urge them onward to the higher goal, which post we are certain they will most ably fill. hirst row: Lnbovitch, Cremin, Keefe, P., McCarihy, M., Finley, Olsen, J., Broker, Flannery, Meyerding: Second row: Van Reyper, Bcddor, Stemper, Kelsey, Reichcl, Caulfield, Madden.

The training which the freshmen have received in the past year in military pursuits has been thorough and all-embracing. For the first time in the history of the Academy the corps of cadets was encamped at Camp Ripley for training maneuvers. This pre-school seasoning undoubtedly went a long way toward developing the finished cadet in the field of military endeavor for these freshmen have advanced rapidly indeed. With a whole-hearted willingness to co-operate rising from a keen interest in their work, the freshmen have established themselves as progressive students whose work is entirely satisfactory to their instructors. Before them lies the field of unlimited opportunity. They will be given every chance to achieve new goals for themselves and for their class. Judging from their efforts in this, their first year at St. Thomas, we feel certain that they will not betray our confidence in their ability to accomplish great things. ♦ PATRICK NOLAN, President JOHN KRUMPELMANN, Vice-President ROBERT HIDDING, Treasurer JEROME PLUNKETT, Secretary FRESHMEN GET OFF TO A GOOD START Che Click the Camera Ihe Militariy THE CORPS THE MILITARY FACULTY MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS REGIMENTAL STAFF COLONEL WILLIAM MOSS Commanding Officer LIEUT.-COLONEL JOHN O’KEEFE Executive Officer MAJOR WILLIAM BAST Regimental Adjutant CAPTAIN JAMES DILLON Intelligence Officer CAPTAIN FRANK BURNS Plans and Training Officer LIEUTENANT DAVID BARKLEY Supply Officer EDWARD DANAHEY Regimental Sergeant Major PAUL FOOHEY Regimental Color Sergeant JOHN CONLEY Regimental Color Sergeant This year is a milestone in the progress of St. Thomas Military Academy for this year it was decided to depart from customary procedure and to appoint all cadet officers, both field and line, from the Academy. This meant that the Cadet Colonel, his staff, and the battalion commanders would now hold a rank higher than captain, the previous goal of all academy men. As a result a colonel, three lieutenant-colonels, and one major were commissioned. It is hoped that a successful culmination of this experi- ment will insure its continuance in the future. Naturally, many advantages are foreseen. It opens up new fields of opportunity and tends to bring out hitherto undiscovered ability among the members of the senior class. It fosters cohesion within the corps and insures a more compact and unified body of officers. The Class of 1939 feels proud that it was selected to begin this practice. It hopes that through its efforts, the end and the aim of the movement will be attained, and that from every standpoint the experiment can be called a success. And so another great stride has been taken forward and the military future of the academy grows ever brighter.

Untiringly and with no small success he has striven for the advancement of the cadet corps in military proficiency and bearing and in the other fields of academic endeavor. The value of his direction is shown by his many improve- ments and his perfect record, that of guiding St. Thomas to the rating of honor school during both his years here. We thank Major Hood for his kindly interest and for the hand which has guided us not only in military matters, but in the fields of scholastics and athletics as well. We, the corps of cadets, salute Major Hood and extend to him our sincere wish for continued success in his re- maining time at St. Thomas. SCT. MILLIGAN Sgt. Milligan is known for capable execution of his duties in the military office. His efficient handling of military business and his excellent teaching of military subjects make him indispensable to the mil- itary department. We should like to register our appreciation to Sgt. Milligan for his fine handling of a thankless job. SCT. HOUSCH Sgt. Housch is known chiefly as the coach extra- ordinary of the rifle team. The fame of his teams has done much to spread the name of St. Thomas Military Academy. We are indeed fortunate to have Sgt. Housch, not only as coach but also as a cap- able military instructor. SGT. WEBER As leader of the St. Thomas band, Sgt. Weber is a well-known figure to the cadet Corps. His efforts have produced another fine band, one that added much to the color and spirit of all school ceremonies. We are indebted to him for his unceasing efforts and his very able direction. LIEUTENANT HAMES Lt. Hamcs is not new to St. Thomas or to the older men of the cadet corps. In fact, as a graduate of the academy and later as cadet colonel, he will remain long in the annals of St. Thomas. In his new capacity of military instructor, he has performed his duties with marked efficiency. By his fine qualities as a military leader, by his forceful personality, and by his tireless efforts he made a lasting place for himself in the faculty of the academy. CADET COLONEL MOSS Standing at the very top of his class over a period of four years from both a scholastic and military standpoint, William Moss was the first academy man ever chosen to fill the high office of Cadet Colonel. As head of the corps of cadets, Colonel Moss has discharged his duties in a manner befitting an able leader and a model officer. His efforts toward the perfection of the corp have insured favorable results. His interest in all school activities has made his man outstanding figure in the academy. Colonel Moss’ success at St. Thomas has been inspiring, and we hope that this success will accompany him in the future.

The past year has been an exceedingly busy and memorable one for the St. Thomas Military Band. From the very beginning of the year, when a small contingent from the band accompanied the cadet corps to Camp Ripley, the band’s schedule of engagements has been full indeed. Playing numerous engagements in places both near and far, the band has won the plaudits of all who saw and heard it. The highlight of the year’s program was the Student Concert given in December in the school auditorium. This concert was especially significant in that it was the first time ir. four years that the student body was given an opportunity to hear its band in formal concert. Such whole-hearted acclamation was received from the corps that it has been decided to make the function an annual one. Perhaps the greatest single factor contributing to the success of the band is the excellent direction of Sgt. John Weber, whose diligent supervision and able instruction have developed such out- standing soloists as Thomas Philben, saxophonist, Marshall Smith, trumpeter, Leonard Leander, trombonist, and Richard Naleway, clarinetist. Throughout the year the band has pursued a schedule ranging from parades and athletic contests to actual radio broadcasts. This year’s band has set a standard of musical eminence which will be very difficult to duplicate. First row: Sgt. Hou� h, Rowan; Second row: Engels, Masica, Bruning; Third row: Mueller.

THE RIFLE TEAM A prologue to this year’s schedule of rifle matches was the outdoor .30 calibre competition held at Camp Ripley last fall. It gave Sgt. Housh, the team’s fine coach, a preview of the year’s prospects which he has not formerly had. Prospects for this year’s team were only average and so the early high scores of the team came as a surprise. It was in the late fall that the cadet sharpshooters won the 7th Corps Area Match. Later the team hit a slump which was almost fatal. On the trip to Booneville, Mo., the Tommy riflers lost first place in the Indoor Camp Perry Matches but came back with second and third. The results have not yet been received from the National Inter- collegiate Match but it is reasonable to expect a high place. Outside of these major matches the team fired a less important match almost every week. Opponents included the University of Minnesota, the Regular Infantry at Fort Snelling, and the 206th Infantry of the National Guard as well as numerous rifle clubs in the Twin Cities. Almost every member of this year’s team showed outstanding ability at one time or another but the team was kept from being a great one by its inconsistency.

The Crack Squad, commanded this year by Capt. James Dillon, specializes in intricate fancy drill. The squad presents a striking appearance as its well-trained members move down the floor, walking stiffly erect in their snappy black and gold uniforms and carrying their picturesque rifle, the 1884 model. This unit carries the name of St. Thomas far and wide. The Crack Platoon, this year under the capable leadership of Lt.-Col. John O’Keefe, confines itself to close order drill. Its smooth effortless precision on the drill floor is attained only after hours of practice and instruction. It is only in watching the Crack Platoon that one realizes the high standard of excellence in close order drill which can be reached. The platoon had a schedule of public exhibitions this year which ranged as far as Kenosha, Wis. Although the Crack Platoon on Skates and the Freshman Drill Platoon have been in existence but four years, the success of each has risen far above expectation. Under the skillful hand of Lt. Robert Shiely, the Crack Platoon on Skates has perfected a highly unique fancy drill on skates, the only one of its kind in existence. This platoon received nation-wide recognition when it was filmed by four newsreel companies in January. Besides appearing in both Minneapolis and St. Paul Ice Follies, the platoon made a trip to La Crosse, Wis., to appear in the National Outdoor Skating Tournament. The Freshman Drill Platoon, commanded by Lt.-Col. John Regan, has attained unusual proficiency. The platoon is composed entirely of men who are starting their first year of drill. The purpose of the platoon is to raise the standard of close order drill among the freshmen. The platoon has given remarkable perform- ances in its public exhibitions this year.

This year, for the first time in the history of the school, the St. Thomas corps of cadets traveled to Camp Ripley and there lived the life and learned the lessons of a soldier in camp. The cadets lived in tents, ate in mess kitchens, and slept on army cots. They practiced close order drill, engaged in athletics, and learned to shoot the calibre .30 rifle. For ten days they lived in the out-of-doors, looked after themselves, and learned to love it. They were commanded by their own cadet officers under the supervision of Major Hood and his associates and staff. A medical staff consisting of a doctor and two trained nurses cared for the bodies of the cadets, while Fr. Ozark looked after their spiritual welfare. The benefits derived from this experiment have been many. Besides developing initiative and self-reliance in the cadets, the training received in camp gave both new and old cadets a pre-season conditioning which got the corps off to an unusually fast start. Pictured on this page are the cadets snapped during the various phases of their training.

Heading the department is Mr. Francis Deig who entered his second year as chief mentor. Again he brought his razzle-dazzle into effect during the football season, ably assisted by Dan Herget, a newcomer this year, who developed the line. Jim Salcheider, former Academy star athlete, coached the ”B” team football squad. Coach Deig also was charged with the basketball squad while Herget handled the B” team. Coach Bob Christenson again developed a fine tank crew which was prominent in Twin City swimming circles. Three college men were introduced into coaching positions during the year. Gordy Barron mentored the hockey team, while Dick LaRue handled the tennis outfit, and Vern Kemp the track squad. Dan Herget piloted this year’s baseball team. Assisting these able coaches this year both by their own fine playing and by the encouragement which they gave their teammates were the athletic captains pictured above.

THE GRIDIRON SEASON The Cadet’s opened the season against West and, after fighting their hearts out for three quarters of the contest and unexpectedly holding the crushing Minneapolis team on even terms finally fell in defeat 21 to 12. Outweighed ten pounds to a man, the cadets smashed West’s defense wide open in the first half with a sensational bag of aerial tricks. George Ghizoni, speedy back, scored both St. Thomas tallies, one on the ancient statuc-of-liberty and the other on a brilliant off-tackle slash that was ably led by a hard-blocking line. In the final quarter Bradford of West passed his team to victory. The Junior-Toms smashed a dynamic attack into the heart of South St. Paul’s Packers and again and again pushed the ball past the frustrated secondary to score a 32-12 win the following week-end. Nolan and Maloney powerhoused their way up and down the field almost at will. Jack Donoghue, center, and Jim Birder at end led a savage defense in downing the Packers. Entering the St. John’s game with a bad case of over-confidence the St. Thomas aggregation was bewildered by a smoothly-running Johnny attack. Coming unto the field for the second half the cadets tried their famed razzle-dazzle but saw it crumble before a determined St. John’s St. Thomas 12 St. Thomas 32 St. Thomas 0 St. Thomas 6 St. Thomas 13 St. Thomas 0 St. Thomas 0 St. Thomas 12 Total 75 W«t 21 So.

The Academy team chalked up their first conference win of the season when they beat St. Cloud 6 to 0. Hard luck dogged the cadet’s heels all evening with fumbles and penalties holding the score down. In the third quarter a pass, Nolan to Birder to Ghizoni to Maloney put the ball on the fourteen, and from there the team shoved it over for a score. DeLaSalle fell before the Cadet onslaught 13 to 9 as the Deigmen went after their second conference win. John Mahoney, team captain, sparkled throughout the game. Cretin’s Red Raiders, most feared team in the Northwest, riding on a crest of twenty-five straight victories defeated the Tommies 13-0 in what proved to be the decisive conference game of the year. Thorsen, Ames, Lamb and Salscheider grimly dug into the snow which blanketed the sloppy field and played with dogged determination against the league champions but were unable to stop two long runs that accounted for the winning tallies. Three times during the game were the Cadets able to battle within the Cretin twenty yard stripe but were always repulsed by an unyielding Cretin defense. The game ended after Bob Pates of the cadet blasted the left side line and ran 56 yards for a touchdown. McDonnell High of Wisconsin met the Cadets on Academy territory and held the favored Tommies to a disheartening 0-0 tie. Fumbles, intercepted passes, and penalties combined with the fighting spirit of their bantam opponents made the going rough for the Acads and kept the Tommies from their expected victory. McDonnell’s great little line thoroughly tied up the speedy Cadet backfield so that it was never able to get started on runs or set for passes. In the last game of the year the Acads punished Stillwater 12-0 in a gruelling climax to the pig-skin season. In the third quarter Tommy Nolan butted his way over the last yard stripe, behind the blocking of Art Cerre, to account for the final touchdown of the football season of 1938. Eighteen seniors saw action in their last game of the year and thus the curtain was dropped on this year’s gridiron drama. BLUE AND WHITE hirst tow: Kunz, Birder, Ghizoni, Salschidcr, Greene, C.; Second row: Kline, Mgr.; Connell, Reidc, Hemp, Peek, Mr. Dieg; Third row: Shiely, Steiner, Prettyman. THE BASKETBALL SEASON With but one returning letterman the Cadets started the season slowly and lost a heartbreaker to Johnson, 26-24, in the season opener. In the second game they bowed to a strong South St. Paul quint. To gain their initial win the Cadets defeated McDonnell, 27-24. In a thrilling climax Ghizoni sank the winning bucket with but a minute to go. Birder and Greene combined their efforts to work out a strong defense. The Deigmen suffered their third loss of the year to a seasoned Washburn outfit, 33 to 28. Opening conference play against St. Boniface, Charlie Greene gave the Cadets a 25-23 overtime victory after Birder had tied up the game in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter by netting two points. Captain Ghizoni led his teammates with eight points, followed by Greene and Birder with seven and five respectively. The Cadets, hitting their worst slump of the year, lost their next three encounters. They traveled to Collegeville and were defeated by St. John’s 22 to 17. A wild and wooly battle, featuring uncanny accuracy of long shots, gave DeLaSalle a 38-32 victory over the plucky Acads quintet, Jim Birder, playing his greatest game of the year, led the Tommies’ attack with fifteen points but the Islander’s furious pace could not be matched by St. Thomas’s fighting five and the Acad’s had to admit defeat at the end. Cretin again put the Toms in the defeat column when they squeezed out an 18-16 victory over the Cadets, whose play was headed by charp- shooting Bill Reidt. The Tommies reversed this score when they tallied their second conference SCHEDULE St. Thomas 24 St. Thomas 13 St. Thomas 27 St. Thomas 28 St. Thomas 25 St. Thomas 17 St. Thomas 32 St. Thomas 16 St. Thomas 18 St. Thomas 22 St. Thomas 33 St. Thomas 27 St. Thomas 29 St. Thomas 13 St. Thomas 29 Johnson 26 So.

Trailing 12 to 3 at the half, the Acad’s came back with a devastating attack that repeatedly pierced their opponent’s defense and rang up basket after basket. Sec-sawing back and forth in the win and loose column the Cadets dropped their next game to St. Boniface, despite the good playing of Buck Salscheider. At this point in the conference race the Tommies gained more confidence and snatched three successive wins. Grabbing an early lead the Deigmen swept over St. Pat’s 32-26. DeLaSallc’s league leaders were badly upset, 27 to 23. St. Thomas nosed out St. Cloud 29 to 27 in a sudden- death overtime which went into five stanzas and had the spectators limp with excitement until Arnie Kunz plunked in a running shot. Cretin’s Raiders, playing in their own gym, walloped the Cadets 33-13, but had to fight till the end of the game to pro- tect their lead. The St. Thomas outfit ended the season with a .500 average in conference play after defeating St. John’s, 29-23. Captain Ghizoni several All- Conference teams and also won a regular berth on the All-City team. Birder was named on the second team. Lamb Cerre Perault THE PUCK From material which was, with the exception of returning lettermen Captain Bob Lamb and Tom Nolan, inexperienced and wholly green, Coach Gordy Barron had to build a team. The season opened with Humboldt, defending city champions, who cast a fast, hard-skating team at the St. Thomas aggregation. Humboldt’s seasoned first line proved the undoing for the green Acad’s who lost 3-2 but gained a moral victory from the fight and unpolished skill that they displayed. The next important game was against West of Minneapolis who thor- oughly shellacked the Cadets 7 to 1 in the worst beating that they suffered during the entire season. However, coming back in a return game with West, a fighting St. Thomas sextet smashed the husky Mill-City boys about the ice during the entire game and hammered again and again at a stubborn defense, beseiging the enemy net with flying pucks. But West’s great goalie managed to lead his team to a 2-1 victory. Showing steady improvement after having gained a bit cf experience in the first few games the puck-chasers now seemed ready to appear in the win column. But at Shattuck Military Academy the Tommies again narrowly missed the margin that would spell their first victory. Shattuck lead throughout the entire game but with three minutes to go a furious St. Thomas sextet sped down the ice and pounded a frustrated goalie and smashed in a score. Not letting down a minute they regained the puck and were down the ice, sweeping aside a now-desperate Shattuck defense, and again they scored and the Shad’s lead was cut to a mere point and six Tommy blood hounds were hot on the scent of a victory. But time entered the game at this point and the gun sounded the finish of action, cheating the Cadets of opportunity to prove their worth. Halfway through the season the Cadets had finally developed a smoothly co-ordinated line-up that presented a definite threat to opponents. But Lady Luck cast her cards against Coach Barron and injuries beset the team in no small number. In our first game with Cretin, the Raider’s hung up a 4-1 victory over the crippled St. Thomas machine, but it proved a different story in the return engagement. After a bitter battle, which recalled all of the tradi- tional fight and color of a Tommy-Cretin fracas, the Raiders were glad to leave the ice with a 2 to 1 win. Near the last of the season St. Thomas met Central. The Cadets led by one point up to the last period and with darkness setting in seemed destined to leave the ice a victor. But because of the darkness a crazzily- bounding puck hopped into the net and Central managed to tie the score up. The game ended 1-1. Diz” Perrault, Freshman goalie, was named on the All-City six, earning recognition for his splendid back-stopping abilities. The following ten men gained letters. Seven will return next season to bolster St. Thomas hockey: Retiring-captain Lamb, captain-elect Cerre, Nolan, Perrault, Fadden, Krebsback, Hamel, McGuire, LaFerte, and Clark. First row: Nolan, T., Cerre, Lamb, Krebsbach, Hamel, J.; Second row: McGuire, Perrault, Bait, Mylan, McGraw, mgr.; Third row: Maloney, Caserta, La Ferte.

Getting away to a fast start the cadet swimmers took three in a row when they downed Harding 52-23 and went on to subdue Washington and completely submerge Mechanics. The Acads were nosed out by Johnson's city-championship crew 45-30 and meeting the University short-handed, suffered a crushing defeat, the score being 49-26. They came back against Blake and won 39-36. The Tommy come-back was abruptly halted by Central in a close meet which the cadets lost 41-34. At this time Cretin, ancient rivals, in a thrilling meet which was close all the way handed the Toms a 43-32 defeat. Finishing as strong as they started, the Tommy watermen subdued Humboldt 49-36. Without a doubt the stars of the season were Captain Larry O’Shaugh- nessy and Dick Ames. O’Shaughnessy led his team in the dashes while Ames starred in the breast stroke. Ames, a Sophomore, won the city breast-stroke championship and helped push the Toms into fourth place in the city meet. The Academy, for the first time in its history, entered the Northwest Swimming Championships at the University of Minnesota compering against twenty odd schools of such caliber as Hibbing, Virginia, etc. St. Thomas was the only Catholic school to qualify in the meet. Ames took sixth in a fast field in the 100-yard breast stroke, finishing only one and some tenths of a second behind the winner despite the sixth place. With a host of returning lettermen the prospects for next years tank squad are considerably brightened. Senior letter winners were Captain O’ Shaughnessy, Porter, Rowan, Mahoney and Cragg. Underclassmen who rated letters were Ames, Don O’Shaughnessy, Olson, Norman, O’Connor, Butler and McGuire. SWIMMING TEAM Fittt row: Porter, Cragg, O’Shaughnessy, L., Mahoney, Olsen; St(ond row: Maier, Mgr., McGuire, Ames, O'Shaughnessy, D., Rowan, Mr. Christenson; Third row: Butler, Rifkin, Pflum, O’Conner. THE BASEBALL TEAM in many seasons. With a well-rounded nine com- bined with an ace pitching staff composed of TufFey and Perrault, two Freshman twirlers, Connell, a Junior, and Porky Donoghue, return- ing letterman from last year’s squad, the Toms are looking forward to an exciting year. Six lettermen are returning from last year’s outfit and are led by Charlie Green, captain and first sacker. The others are Donoghue and Ghizoni, both seniors, and Cerre, Rocheford, and Nolan, Juniors. Coach Dan Herget, a veteran of city baseball is posting his record of seven straight championship baseball teams in industrial leagues, at stake for all challengers to shoot at. Games have been scheduled against Cretin, Roosevelt, South, De La Salle and various other near-by schools with the conference play-offs the big bet, coming at the end of the yaer. First row: Swctnty, Slyngstad, Cordalis, Harrington, Hemp, Michel, Shiely, McGough. Heaiy; Second row: Mr. Kemp, Thorsen, Pardo, Porter, Cover- dale, Rech, Lepak, Mahoney, Rifkin, Mgr. THE TRACK TEAM Gloomy prospects seemingly faced Coach Vern Kemp at the outset of the current track season when he viewed his only three returning lettermen, Harrington and Hemp, co-captains, and Russ Slyngstad. He was faced with the necessity of whipping into shape a team capable of conference wars and he had to pick from a host of young and inexperienced candidates. But he had found that Harrington and Hemp were good bets in the dashes while Pardo could handle the middle distances and Porter the half mile; now Coach Kemp is developing some good weight men. The track team is liable to get off to a slow start but if the current interest continues, the squad of cinder enthusiasts is certain to develop into a winning combination. Meets have been scheduled with South St. Paul, Humboldt and other Twin City schools plus the regular conference meets and the final confer- ence run-offs at the end of the year. GOLF First row: Burke. Muhoncy, Cragg, Rogers, Williams. TENNIS Rounding out the summer sports program are the two minors, Golf and Tennis. Both have been continually successful in conference wars in the past years and particularly successful last year. With a host of returning lettermcn bolstering both squads, prospects again seem bright. Co-Captains Maloney and Roddy, conference doubles champions, and Art Cerre are three winning starters for the racket wielders. Coach Dick LaRue is busy preparing these three and deciding upon the remainder of his squad in order to continue the fine work of last year’s outfit, which dropped but four sets the whole year. Coach and Captain Mac Cragg chose Rogers, Joe and John Mahoney, Burk, Williams and Rcch to compose the golf team of the current season. The links squad is planning a tour to Chicago and adjacent territory during the course of its season and will seek to retain the conference cup that has been won by St. Thomas for the past five years. Cragg, Burk, Rogers and John Mahoney are the four returning lettermen upon whom predic- tions of a winning season are based. Only two underclassmen, Burk and Joe Mahoney, will be held over for next year’s squad but with both still developing much can be expected from them. In looking over this year’s athletic season it strikes me that even from a strict standpoint of games won and lost we have not done so badly. Though our football schedule was a tough one we only lost two games, winning four, and having two ties. In both of the ties the Tommies looked like the better team and can truthfully say they didn’t get the breaks. We almost broke even in basketball and that lose column contained more than one game which an extra basket or two would have won. It seems to me that our hockey team’s apparently defenseless record is not really a true record of the relative abilities of the Toms and their respective opponents. Lady Luck had a distinct dislike for this year’s puck chasers. They were hard skaters and had a skill which was unpolished yet evident. Considering that no letterman returned, I believe that Coach Christenson can point with pride to his swimming record of five wins and four losses. Prospects for baseball and tennis are the best in years and the outlook for track and golf is far from gloomy. So, all in all, I believe we can say that the ’3S-’39 athletic season, while not overwhelmingly successful, is one to which we can point with a reasonable amount of pride.

THE KAYDET STAFF When the members of this year’s Kaydet” staff were appointed, we had very little idea of the job before us or how we were to do it. We were appointed for our apti- tude in some particular branch, be it writing, photography, or business. This basic knowledge we had but we did not know how to apply it. We began to work in the hope that from our efforts would spring a record, in word and picture, of St. Thomas Military Academy during the year ’38-’39. Since those first days we have learned many things. Our staff photographers, ably led by Lee and Haag, have plumbed the depths of photography, mastered the light- meter and several types of cameras, as well as the more intricate art of snapping the photographic subject at the proper time and place; our writers have learned to write accurately and well, not just when they feel like it but at any time upon a moment’s notice; our business staff, headed by Bill Moss, has braved the often-hostile glares of business men and has encountered and avoided the many pitfalls of bookkeeping and finance. Therefore, whether we have been successful in our attempt to portray St. Thomas as it is or whether we have not, we believe that the time and effort we have devoted to the yearbook have been worthwhile. In looking over the months during which we have done the book we find that many things stand out in our minds. Strangely enough our minds do not dwell upon the midnight hours we toiled, upon our first discovery that all honor brings with it is responsibility and worry, or upon any of the troubles and difficulties which then loomed so large; but rather do we recall the brighter, more humorous aspects of the story. Such things as the day I narrowly escaped being trampled to death by the Business Manager as he stormed into the office muttering Got to write some stuff.’ mmm banged away at the typewriter for some time, and sped fran- tically out the door. Later we noticed that he had left his copy in the machine. The stuff” was a page of ' Now is the time for all good men etc.” I find myself wondering whether Mr. Titus, the photographer, will ever write the novel which he was always figuring out, whether the num- ber of people who have claimed that their picture didn’t do them justice could ever be tabulated, whether there is a room on the campus which is hotter and stuffier than the Kaydet office. We recall the ceaseless efforts of Lee and Haag to whip out some humor”; the oft-repeated deter- mination of several of the fellows to make up that home- work,” which determination has not yet been fulfilled; the day we decided definitely that the book could not come out. We shall always sense Kline and Ghizoni peering over our shoulders looking for pictures. These are the things which shall always make the ’39 Kaydet” live for us.

THE KATHODIAN CLUB As an average the Kathodians are undoubtedly the busiest cadets on the campus. To this club belong the colonel, the editor of the Kaydet, and others equally active in extra-curricular activities. But the objectives of the group have not been neglected. On the contrary, the club has sponsored frequent field trips, class demonstrations, and motion pictures on scientific subjects in keeping with its purpose of furthering interest in science. The club has not forgotten the social side of campus life, however. Several gatherings have been held during the year, and at the close of the term a final banquet will be given. To be a member of the Kathodians one must maintain a high scholastic average and be able to pass other rigid entrance requirements. Each year five members of the chemistry class are selected as a nucleus for the club of the following year and competition for this honor is keen. From these five the future officers of the club are chosen. Though guided by Mr. Christianson and Mr. Rothausen, this group is one of the few entirely autonomous clubs on the campus. The members deserve credit for what the club has accomplished during the year, and their activities will undoubtedly result in a stimulation of scientific interest in the future. This year’s officers are John Burke (Pres.), Tom Carlin (vice pres.), James Dillon (sec.)’ John Mahoney (treas.), and Bob Shiely (sgt. at arms). First row: Maitr, Giefer, Roth, Sullivan; Second row: Corceau, Peck.

THE BIOLOCIANS Four years ago the Biologian Club was in its infancy, struggling against the difficulties encountered by any newly organized society. Now it is well established as one of the most active clubs on the campus. Since 1936 it has become a member of the National Affiliation of Science Clubs and has gained note through its achievements in scientific activities. Guided by their moderator, Mr. Hilgers, these potential Pasteurs strive to increase student interest in biology and the other sciences. Each year the club presents a trophy to the cadet who has done the most outstanding work in science during the year, as well as giving support and actual help to science students. Under its guidance, tours, field trips, and class demonstrations have been conducted, and various projects have been completed by members of the club. To be a member, one must maintain a satisfactory average as well as show a strong interest in science; hence the club is composed only of those most adapted to the furthering of scientific study. The members have distinguished themselves again and again by their high grades and achievements. They have attained their purpose by increasing interest in biology, and their efforts may sometime inspire someone to research as valuable as that of Burbank or Goethals.

MONOGRAM CLUB One of the finest and most highly regarded of campus or- ganizations is the Monogram Club. It is made up of all men who have won athletic letters. Every year this active organiza- tion sponsors outstanding events in the academy. This year it made a huge success of the Second Annual Homecoming, which consisted of a pre-game parade of highly-decorated autos, a thrilling football game, and an exciting and enjoyable dance. The club was this year under the able leadership of John Hemp (track), its president, George Ghizoni (basketball), vice-president, John Mahoney (football), secretary, and Harold Cragg (golf), treasurer. This year the club established the custom of giving out monogram pins; the pins were given to all senior members. A major reason for the success of the club is its athletic policy, that is, teamwork and coordination, with the accent on real sportsmanship. First row: Bast, O’Kttft, Moss, Rowan, Dillon, Second row: Slyngstad, Heltzel, Barkeley, Horgan, Burke; Third row: McErlane Mason, Cotea, Regan.

OFFICERS CLUB The primary reason for the existence of the St. Thomas Officers’ Club is to maintain a high standard of discipline and military proficiency in the cadet corps. The various club officers are asigned according to military rank rather than by vote. This year, for the first time in the history of the school, the field officers of the corps were all in the academy. The fact that this experiment was brought to a successful conclusion has thrown the reins of the club into the hands of academy men. The manner in which the club operates is simple but effective. Periodic meetings are called at which faults and errors arc mentioned and discussed. The period immediately following one of these meetings is usually one of feverish correction. The high standards of discipline and instruction maintained by this year’s officers contributed greatly to the successful stay at Camp Ripley and to the excellence of the cadet corps throughout the year. The entire regiment is working very hard and the officers are confident that St. Thomas is heading for honor school rating again this year.

This year even school spirit and loyalty were organized by the most zealous of organizers, Don Heltzel and Bob Shiely. The Booster Club has resulted in an increase both in student enthusiasm and in its effectiveness. The Altar Society is an organization composed entirely of boarders which provides acolytes for the chapel. It is under the direction of Father Broker. This year marks the birth of a new club on the St. Thomas campus which in its brief existence has given promise of being a permanent institution. The Parnassians Club was formed by Mr. Robert Felker, instructor in English, and consists of all those cadets who show special interest in and aptitude for the arts. The memory of the St. Thomas Day program remains as a monument to their achievement. Members of the Kadet Kamera Klub find that membership in it is bene- ficial to photographers because it gives them an opportunity to share their ideas and their knowledge. It is not only a clearing house for photographical facts but a social organization as well.
