We feel that these notions of friendship and brotherhood are not vague and indefinable terms, but are real and stable actualities, upon which true endeavor finds its real worth; Far from any desire of selfepraise, it is our humble opinion, that in emu, lating the example of the exponents of last yeafs Xaverian, while we have undoubtedly fallen short in very many places, we have made an earnest en- deavor t0 inculcate within these pages, that same spirit of which we speak. And is is our fondest hope that men of Old Xavier past and present ever mingle with true recognition of this. Then will we have a greater St. Xavier. May we not hope that this little volume, in some slight way, may serve to ac- complish this purpose? VJ. HARRY MOORE.

FEWHHKHMJJdME Page Twenty-six Highlights in the History Of St. Xavier College ATHOLIC Education in Cincinnati took its first forward step just one hundred years ago. It consisted in the efforts 01' Bishop Fenwick, the Dominican, and first Bishop of this Archdiocese, to secure the fou'nda- tion of a school of higher learning. The first endeavor went no farther than epistularly communication with the Jesuits, and Benedictines in England, be- cause neither of the two solicited communities were in position to engage in the project. Throughout the next six years, the zealous Bishop sought vainly for a religious community to aid him in his program, but unsettled conditions, and other obstacles constantly interferedt In 1831 he opened uThe Atheneum , for the instruction of youth; where a classicial course of study was provided, and entrusted to the ten diocesan clergy to teach. Affairs at the institution never reached as efficient or smooth a status of operation as was desired, due mainly to the fact it lacked a necessary organization. Bishop Fenwick died one year later, and never saw the ups and downs which his enterprise was doomed to for the next nine Years. This, in short forms the early history of what was destined to be the St. Xavier College which is ours today. Shortly after the coming of Bishop Purcell to Cincinnati, he determined upon the matter of obtaining Jesuits to conduct an intended College in Brown County, and thereupon set about what Bishop Fenwick had failed to accom- plish. As early as 1838, he was promised by the General in Rome, that the next house established by the Society in America should be in Cincinnati. Relying on this assistance, he set about, and gained the permission of His Holi- ness, Gregory XVI, to deed to the Jesuits some property which he held in trust, and Which was intended for the maintenance of a college for educational purposes. Negotiations were finally opened with Bishop Purcell by Fr. P. J. Verhaegen, S.J., at St. Louis, Arrangements were completed, and by October 1, 1840; the Fathers had taken over the property, giving to it the name of St. Xavier College. Fr. Elet, after whom the new Dormitory is named, became the first of a long line of Presidents, and the great work for good in Cincinnati was begun by the Society of Jesus The General Assembly of Ohio granted a tempmary charter of the College, with John B. Purcell, J. A. Elet, PM. Pin I. J. Gleizal, and Edward Purcell acting as trustees. This charter gentitled the conference of degrees of colleges and universities of this State of Ohio, and placed the school on equal footing with the other sectarian, and non-sectarian institutions in the State. Not until the act of the Assembly on May '7, 1867 which was An act to provide for the incorporation of certain colleges therein described , did St. Xavier become incorporated in perpetuity. FLrs. W. H. Hill, and S. A. H. Fastre, acting for the Board of Trustees, sent a copy of a resolution to the Secretary of the State, accepting the provisions of the Act. Prior to this incorporation in perpetuity, it was found necessary to erect another building for the handling of increased attendance. In 1863, ground was purchased to the north of the old Athen- eum , which step gave access to the corner of Seventh and Sycamore Streets. The cornerstone of the Hill faculty 1building , as it was called was laid by Archbishop Purcell, May 12, 1867. Following the destruction of the Athen- eum building in 1890, the present High School ediface was erected; this with the Mueller Building of 1855 completed the development which the fully utilized site permitted. It might be thought that all was easy sailing with the College from its foundation onward, but such was not the case There were ever difficulties to be surmounted as there are in all schools where endnwments are unknown, and all constructive work must be done by sheer perseverance, and multitudi- nous denials, From 1853 to 1865, the College passed through what might be termed its zero hour. Chief among the many calamities of the period were the cholera epidemics which wraught havoc everywhere, the disgraceful Know- Nothing movement, when disturbing Anti- Catholic demonstrations were almost a daily occurrence, and last, but not least, the Civil War. Up to this time, the student attendance consisted mainly of boarders from the west, and south Conditions steadily approaching an impingement, finally forced the abandonment of the dormitories and left St Xavier entiiely dependent on the Page Twenty-seven srwx'? -, 5.14. f: -.. l ? . 44'ng Page Twenty-eight patronage of the immediate vicinity of Cincinnati. Struggling against what really were heart-breaking situations, the College carried on, until, in 1890 we find it celebrating its golden jubilee. From this time forward, Xavier entered on a new era; an era of progress, expansion, and some prosperity. From this time on students began to attend in ever increasing numbers, which not only gave added revenue, 'but encouraged the Faculty to greater programs. Extension lectures, then special graduate courses were inaugurated as early as 1896. The step, while actually premature from the financial standpoint, added almost immeasurably to the reputation, and general stanv dard, as well as to the influence of the College in this vicinity. Pressing de mands for other departments and improvements made it advisable to discon- tinue such work till larger resources could be realized. Departments of Econv omics and College of Commerce were added in 1911,.and shortly after a course in Journalism, which was however abandoned five years later. In 1918, a comprehensive system of Sociology was begun, and which is enjoying right up to the present time, a most gratifying success. These classes, along with others of the Arts type are attended by members of the teaching sisterhoods in and about the City, for whom they were originally intended. On October 1, 1918, a unit of the Students Army Training Corps was established for those of the class who had been inducted into service. This S. A. T. C. group received academic instruction of a kind adapted to its needs until its was dis- banded. At the instigation of prominent Alumni, mostly of the legal pro- fession, a Law Department was opened in the fall of 1919, and continues to the present in a very prospering condition. The institution at Seventh and Sycamore Streets is a busy one indeed. From nine o'clock in the morning till two twenty-five, the High School Classes are conducted for more than six hundred boys, necessitating the use of every available space for lectures, recitations, laboratories, and attendant work. Extension courses are carried on from three otclock until five, and then the Night School Classes in the evening follow. The situation which the College occupied 0n Sycamore Street, being in the heart of the City, had many advantages in the matter of accessibility, but also a very great disadvantage from the standpoint of building room, and campus facilities. The Faculty, always aware of this draw-back, began as early as 1847 to find location in the East Hills. The so called Purcell Mansion on Walnut Hills was acquired, and Preparatory Classes conducted there for twu years under the direction of Fr. George A. Carrell. The undertaking was too premature, the situation remote for the then existing means of commmunis cation, and so the project was abandoned. The second effort at branching out was made by Fr. Albert A. Dierckes, S.J., who bought the property at the corner of Gilbert and Lincoln Avenues in Walnut Hills. For six years, until 1912, the Branch High School was located here, when, realizing the need of still further expansion, it was moved to the Avondale Athletic Club, which building and grounds had been purchased the previous year, This action marked the beginning of a New St. Xavier College, a College which is growing in leaps and bounds, a College which is a College in the true sense of the word, and to which the rest of this article is devoted.

In the last six years St. Xavier has developed, and accomplished marvelous things which all are able to see, but which few fully appreciate, because the men who are doing them prefer to act rather than talk; this they will continue to do, until the heroic work has its consummation, and the tale of it all be told by those who come aftert Since we cannot tell the story, we confine ourselves to consider- ing what has been done, and what is manifest. A happy selection indeed was made of the ground on which Xavier stand:. The buildings form an imposing array, facing as they do upon the winding course of Victory Boulevard, and looking down from the crests of gentle slopes on which they are situated. Bordering on the Boulevard is the campus, with one of the finest baseball, and football fields in this part of the country. The stadium, which encloses the football grid, and from which many a fast and furious game has been watched by thousands, came in 1921, and is the gift of Mr. John L. Corcoran, after whom the entire playing field is named. iI'ennis courts, and an excellent running track complete the facilities for ath- etics. The old Avondale Club House, now the recreation building, though no longer desirable for class purposes, and hence, not to be considered as a hall, still, by some dictate of tradition, continues to hold its place in the minds of the students as the nucleus around which the rest of the buildings necessarily cluster. It is old, and out of harmony with the other structures, but it is solid. and is as amusement providing as it is red. The time will come when it will be no more, but it will live long in the minds of those who spent so many happy, boisterous hours beneath its roof, The epoch making session of the Fall of 1919, the opening of the Science Hall, which marked the separation of the College from the High School, simultaneously reduced flThe Club House to the little more than club house position which it now holds,eit is the grub house. A definite and comprehensive plan has been adopted for the further de- velopment of the College, and is being carried on to completion as rapidly as funds can be raised. The Alumni Science Hall, the gift of the Alumni express- ing their appreciation, and devotion of their Alma Mater was completed in 1919. At present, until the Arts Hall is built, it. is being used to accommodate the major portion of the aggregate classes. It is fully equipped and arranged for complete science courses, and needs only to be officially converted as such. It provides light, roomy, sound-proof lecture rooms, and laboratories, and is modern in every respect. The Administration Building, or Hinkle Hall, came to completion 3 short time after the Science Hall, and was the magnificent gift of Mrs. Frederick W. Hinkle, who has in so many other ways contributed to the realization of a Greater St. Xavier. It is intended to be the central unit of the forthcoming group, and the key to the entire architectural scheme employed. Accommo- dations for a faculty of fifty are provided by private rooms, recreation centers, 8. spacious roof garden, a chapel, and dining room. The roof garden commands a complete view of the spacious campus, and the Boulevard for a mile or more each way. In the early part of last summer, 0924i the new Dormitory was finished, thus adding one more part to the necessary whole. It was made possible by the generosity of the friends of the College, Alumni, and welI-wishers alike, who so willingly donated either to the room fund, or to the furnishing. Each room was equipped with attractive. homey outfits, and every care taken to make the student occupying it feel as much at home, and contented as possible. Provision is made for one hundred or more resident students, and at more than reasonable rates. More wings are to be added to the building in the future, when expansion demands, and finances permit. Pane Thirty-ono Funds for the new Chapel, and Arts Building are rapidly being amassed, and it is hoped that these additions will be actualities within the next five years 01' so. The Chapel will be named for the Little FloWer, the Carmelite Nun, who was canonized this, the Holy Year of 1925. The Arts building will be devoted exclusively to recitation, and lectures, for the four College Grades, and is to be located just south of the Science Hall. The much needed College Library, which is to house the very valuable collection of books which are scattered here and there is to be begun Very shortly, and if possible, com- pleted by next September. It is to be located between Hinkle Hall, and the Alumni Science Hall, and may be utilized pro tem to relieve the conjestion in the Science Hall. Later additions will include a Normal School, to be situated at the north- west corner of the property, a large Gymnasium to be placed on the west por- tion of the campus, in the depression of the hill. The New St. Xavier High School for the corner of Marion Ave. and Winding Way, which is to allow for one thousand students, and lastly, a heating plant, a centralized affair to supply the entire institution, All the buildings will be of the Norman, or Tudor Gothic style of architecture, and Will be grouped so as to set them off at the best possible advantage. The present park-Iike beauty of topography will be adhered to, and even worked out to a more perfect degree. Truly, when that day arrives on which St. Xavier will have become a Greater St. Xavier in the full sense of the word, the picture which she will present will be a gripping one. Speed the day! As has been observed elsewhere, it may seem a wild day-dream, this list of buildings which are to round out the plans for the New, and completed St. Xavier College; the tremendous costs of construction alone are formidable, and the extra maintenance expenditure are more than enough to sober any ten- dency toward inordinate enthusiasm, but one thing assures --the1e are men behind Xavier who have never been balked in a project; these men have re- solved to give to her the maturing which she has so lohg struggled toward, and they will; hence, there is nothing of the day-dream in these plans, nothing of the feverishly imaginative, but rock bottom assurance, and reliance onrthose who are out to do what they have resolved upon. The material development of the institution, although having made pleasing progress in the last few years, has not kept pace with the ever increasing demand for accommodation by young men who are becoming more and more desirous of availing themselves of the exceptional and necessary advantage of a college education, and which the Jesuits are so ably equipped to provide. The enrollment for the coming year indicates that all records will rbe broken by a generous percentage. No doubt there will be applicants for matriculation turned away because of inadequate facilities as there have been in the last few yearsea regretful, but unavoidable thing. There is but one remedy for this condition of affairs, and it must be applied and that quickly. St. Xavier College must be enabled to fulfill this, its God-given mission; it can only be accomplished by outfitting her so that she will not only be able to take care of those who come knocking at her doors, but she must even bring from far and near by the fame of her name, those who have not heard of her up to now, or who pass her by because of her lack of material grandeur which is reckoned by degrees of architectural display and plenteous accommodation. This country needs thousands who are educated under Catholic standards, who can exert a steadying, a balancing influence on the moral and political principles of life of every individual of this great people. St. Xavier stands conspicuously alone in this vicinity, with a titantic duty to perform, and yet is fettered at the very outset, because ttthei'e is no room within the inn . Those who ask for admission beyond the set number must needs apply at the Halls of Mammon, where too often they are robbed of that which no man can do without. To aid in the upbuilding of St. Xavier College is the sacred duty of every Catholic layman in this community; a duty which may not be ignored, and society continue to function as a healthy unit. St. Xavier will grow as she has grown these many years; if given the co-opera- tion she so greatly deserves she can take her place in the march of the times, if permitted to struggle alone, she will also progress, but ere she can reach her goal, many shall have passed by and have made their way into the gloom, St. Xavier College never needed her friends as she needs them now, She relies on them-may she not trust in vain, Onward St. Xavier!

I VHEHVUUVVVRI u n Zln ilIHPmnrg AILED as our most illustrious and prominent alumnus by the Xaverians of 1924, we this year mourn as our greatest loss, past, present or future, 'the late Most Reverend Henry Moeller, D.D., Archbishop of Cincinnati. Born in the month of the Christ Child, 1849, and guided as it were 'by the Star of Bethlehem in the ways of love, wisdom, charity and piety, to the throne of the King, where he not only was received with open arms, but lighted the way for many to follow. Receiving his early education in the parochial school he entered St. Xavier College in 1862, where his great natural talents and his close application to study brought him highest honors. So great was his zeal for learning that he attracted the attention of the Most Rev. Archbishop John B. Purcell, who sent him to the American College in Rome to further pursue his studies in philosophy and theology. Here he carried off three first prizes in theology, and stood head and shoulders above the most learned students of the College. After his ordination in 1876, he returned to his native land and rose rapidly to one of the highest positions in the hierarchy of the Church. After serving for three years as Bishop of Columbus, where he accomplished magnificent work, he was named as Co-adjutor to Archbishop Elder with right of succession, and upon the death of Archbishop Elder, was consecrated Archbishop of the See of Cincinnati, February 15, 1905. His work in Cincinnati is known to all, how he has presided with dignity; how he has aided in solving the various and vexing social problems of the times; how like a calm Gibraltar he stood unmoved while the storms of radicalism raged about him, and how, after the storms, he came forth to heal and comfort and rescue those who had been tossed and buffeted by the furies of such storms; how he has built, equipped and paid for the great seminary which will stand as a monument to him for ages to come. His goodness, his justice, his charity, won for him the love and respect of his entire flock. Truly he held high the banner of trust which God had placed in him and forever kept before all the Charge of His Master: liFeed My Sheep . The closing words of Archbishop Glennon, of St. Louis Archdiocese, who preached the funeral sermon, exprese most vividly our thought of him. Let us thank the Almighty for the length of years He has given His faithful servant.

Page Farty-ane , The St. Xavier Alumni Association OR some time the Hgrads of Old Xavier felt the need of some sort of an active organization whereby they might not only keep in close touch with their Alma Mater but also keep together in one fold liher loyal sons. With this end in view the St. Xavier Alumni Association was founded and organized in 1899 with Francis H. Cloud, '63 as the first President. During his regime many of the men were brought together in a common cause, and for a purpose which was dear to the heart of all. The work of the alumni since then has been so praise- worthy that we feel, that the organization together with the hearty co-operation of the faculty, has made St. Xavier the College that it is today. The establishment of a Diamond Jubilee Committee which was to raise funds for such buildings and equipment as were necessary for the growth of the college marked the beginning of the new St. Xavier. The unceasing work of this committee was well rewarded, and on the site of the 01d Avondale Athletic Club, there began to rise, an institution which gave promise of being a College which could not only display to the world her intellectual achievements, but also an equipment for the dispensing of such knowledge which is unequaled by any in this section of the country. With the erection of the Science Hall and Hinkle Hall, the St. Xavier Dormitory Fund was established and again the Alumni showed that they were go-getters, for in less than two years after the start of the drive for funds, Elet Hall was added to the group of buildings, about the campus. The Athletic Field, the Stadium, the sport equipment, proved the sterling character of the organization which was behind the faculty in making a bigger and better St. Xavier. We could go on unceasingly singing the praises of the Alumni Association but words fail to express the magnitude of its deeds. That the work of the Association will continue and that we may some day be able to udo our bit is the greatest for which we dare to hope. That the spirit that has done so much for the students of old will remain alive and prompt the students of today, and tomorrow, is all that we can ask, and if such be the case, St. Xavier will always be to the front in everything that pertains to an institution of higher learning. Page Forty-two .v-vlctwhvt 'l , The Alumni Ball On Friday evening, December 12th, the Alumni with wives and friends, gathered in the French Ball Room of the Sinton Hotel for the Inaugural Ball of the graduate body. When the orchestra struck up the rythm of the Grand March, John Hoban, President of the Alumni, had the honor to lead his fellow graduates. That this dance will be a fixed date on the social calendar of all Alumni of St. Xavier is now beyond doubt, The event was enjoyed by all for it not only afforded the older men the opportunity of meeting old friends, but also of becoming better acquainted with the younger men just out of college. Luke J. Leonard, of the Class of ,23, was chairman of the committee in charge of the affair, ably assisted by HARRY GILLIGAN PETER MCCARTHY FRANK VERKAMP FRANK AMAN Page Forty-three Alumni Lectures Among the many activities of the Alumni Association in- augurated during the regime of Mr. John E. Hoban, none created more favorable comment than the series of lectures given at the Sinton Hotel. The lectures Were free, and if attendance alone was a cri- terion of judgment, the Alumni and their friends owe ailarge debt to their Lecture Committee. For the first lecture, Sunday, November 16th, the commit- tee secured the Right Reverend Abbot Joseph MacDonald, 0. S. 8., Lord Abbot of St. Benedict Abbey, Fort Augustus, Scotland. The Abbot was in the States in connection With the founding of the Benedictine School for Research, at Washington, D. C., and through one of the members, Rev. Dom. Augustine Walsh, 0. S. B., '03, he was persuaded to accept the invitation to speak. In a rather informal talk, livened with sharp Highland wit, he placed before those present a concise history of Scotland, and the effects of the Reformation upon the people of the Low- lands and the Highlands. The Abbot was followed, on Sunday, December 7th, by Rev. John McClerey, S. J., an old Xavier boy, now Professor of Philosophy at the University of Detroit; Father McCloreyts fame as an orator is national, and his name drew a large crowd. His topic, ttThe College Course, or the Forlorn Hope , was one of the most brilliant, clear cut, closely reasoned pieces of ' forensic literature Cincinnatians have heard in years. On Sunday, January 18th, Dr. Martin H. Fischer, Profess- or of Physiology in the College of Medicine, of the University of Cincinnati, was the guest lecture of the Association. Dr. Fischer chose for his subject, Gregor Mendel't, and though the lecture was transferred to a larger hall in the hotel the room was uncomfortably crowded. For a subject of such timely interest, the Committee could not have selected a better speaker. Standing as he does among Page Forty-four the leading scientists of the world in his field, Dr. Fischeris tribute to Mendel, and his explanation of the Mendelian law carried the Himprimatur of authority. Sweeping aside, with facile sarcasm, the loose speaking and looser thinking of pseudo-science the Doctor tabulated the claims of heredity and ttacquired characteristics in their true ratio. Following Dr. Fischer, on February lst, Rev. William Rob- inson, S. J., former President of Saint Louis University, ad- dressed the Alumni and their friends on uEducation. Approaching his subject from a different angle than that of Father McClorey, Father Robinson pleaded for tteducation in contra distinction to instruction . Alleging that there was a false spirit of materialism and evaluation in present educational demands, he advocated a true education which developed all men, body, mind, and heart. For the lecture on Sunday, March 8th, the committee in- vited Mr. Louis E. Wetmore, of New York. Mr. Wetmore was formerly connected with the literary and editorial departments of the New York Times . ' The development of his thesis concerning Catholicity in Europe Since 1914 was extremely novel and interesting. It was his conclusion, borne out by personal observations, that the intellectual centers of Europe which up to 1914 were either actively anti-Catholic, or indifferent, are now swinging to Catholic philosophy and Catholic culture. The lectures were brought to a close on Sunday, April 26th by Dr. James J. Walsh. With Cardinal Gasquet, Ralph Adams Cram, and a few others, Doctor Walsh has done much to place a true value upon those glorious Middle Ages. For this lecture, however, the Doctor left his beloved Thirteenth Century to pay tribute to Pasteur. According him the honor of having saved more lives than any man in the long story of mankind, Dr. Walsh traced the activities of Pasteur from the little village of his birth, through his life, to his saintly death in ripe old age. WM. L. REENAN, t03. Page Fnrtyefive Xavier Foundation HE work of the Diamond Jubilee Committee having been accomplished and accomplished in such a very satisfactory manner, the Alumni was loathe to dis- band such an energetic and loyal body of nsons of St. Xavier . Accordingly in the latter part of 1924, a perma- nent committee known as the Xavier Foundation was created, to carry on the work of the now extinct but never to be forgotten Diamond Jubilee Committee. On this committee were placed all the members of the Diamond Jubilee Committee and in addition to these not only members of the Alumni but also men of prominence in civic and educational activities in this city. The aim of this Committee is to promote in all ways, linancially and otherwise the growth and betterment of St. Xavier College. The work of the foundation has al- ready produced great results, for we see in the near fut- ure the Little Flower Chapel, the Library and the Gym- nasium, all of which are sorely needed by the institution, and which, when completed will make our Alma Mater one of the outstanding educational institutions in this part of the country. The work of the members of this committee argues well for the future St. Xavier and with the path blazed, the younger members of the Alumni will readily follow and the entire Alumni body will be one huge but active Xavier Foundation.

WOLKING Paste Forty -seven Xaverian BOOk-Lovers Association GROUP of women who have always been interested in all Xav- erian affairs were glad to accept the invitation of the Xavier boys to act as chaperones for a dance, following one of the foot- ball games of the past season. The chaperones chatted, as is their Wont, discussing the possibility of using the cafeteria as a social hall. From this conversation this society has developed into its pres- ent proportions as the Faculty approved the idea of organizing the mothers, wives and sisters of their alumni and students as well as all other women interested in Catholic higher education so that they might substantiate their interest in Saint Xavierls College by direct means and tangible results. Since the library building was then oc- cupying the center of the construction program this group decided to use the funds gathered from their labors, in furthering this pro- ject, hence the Reverend Rector, Father Brockman, thought it fitting to christen the new society the uereriun Book-love'rs Association . The first meeting was held at the present library building on January 25th with a very large attendance. The members formulated plans for a card party held on February twentieth. Several prelim- inary meetings were held for this affair and at the close of this party the efforts of these generous women brought the unanimous opinion that this was more than a success financially, and the social success was even greater. Since this party there has been no meeting of the Xaverian Book- lovers as a distinct organization, but it lent invaluable assistance to those in charge of the May Fete conducted by the Athletic Associ- tion. It is hoped that this organization may prosper and become per- manent thus affording an opportunity for seeial affairs while at the same time furthering the cause of Catholic education.

Page Sixty-four The Senior Class 1TH the coming of June, this body of choice spirits: will pass beyond the portals of Old Xavier. Individually and collectively they are the. best sort of fellows that one can find anywhere, or even wish to find. All through the eight years which most of them have spent under Jesuit tutelage, there has never been an activity, scholastic, or otherwise which they have not Figured in, and as was most often the case, entirely taken over and carried to a highly successful end. In scholastic Work, they have won distinction so often that it has become a habit to expect them to duplicate on each occasion. In matters: intercollegiate, the Seniors are proud to boast of the enriching: endeavors of Joe Meyers, the tall, gaunt, intellectual, who has won numerous places in both Latin and English contests, and Ronald Jeanmnugin, who was no mental slouch. In the forum, the graduate class has been amply represented by such luminaries as Murray, Kennedy, Ruthman, and Moore. The columns of the school periodicals have been both contributed to and directed by Seniors. Among these were Grogan, Schmitz, Clinger, Dell, Gaynor, and Vollman. Feltman, Fecker, OtBrien, Higgins, Murphy and Lyons did considerable toward the elevat- ing of the class standard, intellectually. Athletics called upon the noble services of Knecht, Lammers, Dacey and Baurichter. The Class was notoriously a howling success, chiefly through the efforts of Geerin. All in all, it can well be said that there was never a class, the equal of the class of '25, the outgoing ttdoingt, senior class. Page Sixty-five JIM BOYLE JUNIOR PRESIDENT AY JIM! Thatis the head of the Junior Class. He is an A-l information bureau of most sporting statistics, both of School, and the world at large. The football he displayed this year was hard to beat from both offensive and defen- sive standpoints. They may have tried to skirt his end, but whether they came large 01' small, Jimmy was there to stop them. Aside from his football ability, he has the unique distinction of being the Assistant Boss of the Chemistry Laboratory. Page Siny-six The Junior Class HE gallant class of '26! Each year its members come before their queenly Alma Mater with a sweeping bow, and offer their composite arm for her support during; the coming months. Each year, with gcreater and greater trust, she smilingly accepts. uHere are my colorsf' she whispers, HCarry them into all activities which thrive within my walls. And her favorites have never failed.

Tho forensic art was championed by Glenn, the successful orator 0f the 'Washington Medal contest, and his co-aspirants, Paddack, Winter, and Arlinghaus, the latter, along with Manion being a member of the Intercollegiate Debating Team. The Philopedian Society, The Xaverian Masque Society, and the Dante Club each had its contingent of Juniors; they are Brunsman, Cahill, Glenn, Arlingr haus, Paddaek, Collins, Barnhorn, Winter, McClinchey and Coughlin. The busy sanctums 0f the News, and the Annual saw Juniors much in evidence, Winter as assistant editor of the News, and Arlinghaus as business manager of both the News and the Annual, Manion and Paddack as editors respectively of the Alumni and Faculty news, and Magazine section of our college organ. Needless to say, the Sodality was well attended by Juniorseethi'ee of them being officers. Finally the shining success of the Junior Prom was due, not only to the excellent work of Farrell, and the committee, but to the great cooperation, goodefellowship, and sincere effort of the Class as a whole. All this, along with other excellencies have made for the mutual advancement of the College, and the individuals of the Junior Class of ,25.

Page Sixtyteight SOPHOMORE uA The Sophomore Class HE St. Xavier Sophomores of the past year feel that as a Class, they have done their share in supporting, and making Xaverian traditions. They seek no word of praise for themselves, but Claim in all sincerity, that in their own way, they have always worked for the best interests of their College at all times. The policies of the Class were in tho capable hands of Marcellus Schmidt, President, and who chose as his assistants, both in class matters and the repre sentative work of the Student Council, Urban Fisher, and Joseph Kelly. In all the activities, the Sophomores Were well in evidenceeespecially so in Football. Beatty, Rapp, Wenzel, Bray, King, Schmidt, Furgeson, Nieberding, Kelly, Farrell, and Steinbicker earned their letters in the sport; while Berger, Collins, Clarke, Helfesrieder, Nead, Manley, Curran, Gnsiger, Morrisey, Romer, Gorey, McCarthy and Healy secured for themselves, merited places an the second team. SO well indeed did these Sophomore huskies account for themselves, that in ,some circles, people spoke. of them as 'The Sophomore Crew . Basket ball, following close on the heals of Football. drew liberally from the ranks of Second Year Men. It is no wonder at all that such a snappy looking Paus- Sixtymine SOPHOMORE ttB and acting quintet was evolved when such fellows as Bray, Kelly, Gosig'er, Healy, Helfesriefer, Collins, O'Leary, and McCarthy came out. While these two sports were almost universal in their appeal to the Students. and held the Activity Lime-light, there were other affairs, not as widely known perhaps, but none the less deserving of credit, which Sophomores saw to. When any of the departments of greater St, Xavier need a musician, or Orchestral Con- ductor, they turn to Eugene Perazzo '21 When the daily epidemic of hunger seizes the ttmob , they run over to Joe Welp, and Pat Runge-mrhe Lunch Room Magnets -both Sophs, and procure in generous quantities the only known ano- dyne for the maladyLEats. Second Year Men are prominent in just as marked a degree in The Masque Society, The Philopedian Society, The Henry F. Milet Unit of the C. S. M. C. and the Sodality. After giving the above data on the activity of the members of the Sopho- more Class, we feel that we are justified in our assertion of having done some thing for the good of Xavier. We have erected a new standard, and brought forth new ideals for future Sophomore Classes tn follow, and attain, both for the betterment of themselves, and their College. Page Sew'enty JAMES NOLAN FRESHMAN PRESIDENT HEN this suave Southern Gentleman rolled into that motley, wild-eyed assembly of Freshman, he seemed to have cast a spell over them which has held vice-like ever since. The many, many lamentable imperfections of these Freshmen happily did not prevent them from choosr ing a good leader. Choose they dithim was the man, and it must be noted that he has functioned beautifully. Jim is from apathetic Louisville, where Racing is meat, and drink, and several other things. Pam- Seventy-um: FRESHMAN CLASS Wk FRESHMAN CLASS B venty-two Sc HllD sun: I! FRESHMAN CLASS C The F reshman Class T is a notable fact that for the last six years, or ever since the new Halls have been erected, the enrollment of Freshmen has steadily been on the increase. As a consequence, the Class. of ,28, besides being the largest in the history of Xavier, and the most up and doing, also amounts to over one half of the other combined enrollments. Towards the latter end of September, they elected James Nolan of Louisville as President, Raymond Daley, of 'Belle- vue, Kyt, was chosen Vice-President, Austin Welsh, Cincinnati, Secretary, and Joseph Urbain, Hamilton, Ohio, Treasurer. Quantity, the first outstanding feature of the Class, was soon eclipsed by a very high grade of quality, for its members quickly took their place in every activity, minor and major in the College. Starting with Scholarship, distinction was theirs repeatedly in the Philopedian Debating Society, one of the number even succeeding in securing a place on the Varsity Debating Squad. The Masque Society gave place to them too, for a good percentage were cast in the ttComedy of Errors , and the three Little Theatre Plays. Three of the ten contestants in the Oratorical Contest were Freshmen, who showed up so favorably, that some little apprehension was manifest in the behavior of the Upper-Classmen who were desirous of places. More than a few of these apt Freshies had sufficient faith in themselves to take a fling at; The Intercollegiate English Contest, and wrote away as business-like as anyone else. In, and on the Field of Athletics, the constant, bright light of College Life, Freshmen were active to an admirable, and hitherto unheard of degree, in Football, Basket Ball and Baseball. Page Seventy-threc The Junior Law Class T is. indeed a must pleasant task to write a brief review of the Juniur-Senior Class of 1925. This class has shown a spirit at eu-nperaticm and enthusiasm that will cause its memory to he fondly cherished in the annals of St. Xavier Law College. The members at this class began to realize very early in the year that the gun! for which they were striving was near at hand. It seemed but yesterday that they had begun the study of law and now they are sober, serious minded Juniors. Their dreams were about to become realities. Soon they would begin the hunm-zible practice of law. These realizations encouraged them to even greater :1an better efforts than they had Shown before. And now at the close of the year it is quite evident that success has ernwned their efforts. The faculty have given unstintingly of their time and service and have encouraged the students in every way. Accordingly this. class wishes to extend to the faculty its sincere gratitude and heartfelt thanks. An appropriate 510;!an in the practice of law might well be HImitute our teachers . l'uw- Seventy-four Sophomore-Freshman Law T is well known that the St. Xavier Law College possesses unI enviable recurd among the Law Colleges of the country for the high degree of scholarship and ' learning of its professor's and the enthusiasm, diligence and sincerity of its students. W'hat is probably not Sf! well known is the manner in which the Classes are arranged an arrangement which is most efficient under the conditions, and which offers peculiar advantages to both teacher and student. The student body is divided into two ciasses-mthe Junior-Senior class and the Freshman-Snphomore classi This arrangement necessitates the alternation of the schedule of studies from year to year. Both classes begin at 6 o'clock and con- tinue until 8 oiclock, with 2L ten minute recess beginning at 6:55, The classes are held five evenings each week. This year's Freshmau-Sophomore class is the largest in the history of the school. The spirit and enthusiasm of the class are in every way proportion- ate to its size. This fact is due in a large measure to the leadership and encouragement of our scholarly president, Miss Catherine Carter. T0 emulate her is the proud, though difficult ambition of each and every member of the clasx. In the moat trial conducted by the Jurists society in December, the FreshmanASophomnre class was ably represented by John Murray and Jerume Corbett. Their legal eruditinn was quite surprising even to themselves. Besides the qualities already attributed to this yeeiliis Freshman-Snphomore class, there is the splendid quality of gratefulness. Let it be known that this class fully appreciates and gratefully acknowledges the services and sacrifices of that group of men who so materially cnntribute tn the glory and prestige of St. Xavier Law Schooliour teachers. Pure Sw'em y-fivu The School of Commerce OMMENCEMENT, 1925, is the 14th milestone in the progress of the School of Commerce. Starting in 1911 with approximately one hun- tired students, the School has developed into the largest undergraduate department of the College. Father Francis Heierman, then president, was its founder, and while numerous courses have been in- troduced since his time, its fundamental system re- mains practically as he designed it. The School specializes in the teaching of account- ing and office management and has given to the city some of its most capable and most prominent accountants and executives. The record of its stu- dents who have taken the C. P. A. examinations is remarkable and the reputation of the School has been further enhanced by the success of its gradu- ates in public practice and in the competitions held before the local chapter of certified men. 1 A very gratifying response answered the intro- duction, three years ago, of classes in Logic, Psy- chology and Literature, in addition to the practical and technical courses, each of these classical sub- jects attracting an increasingly large number of students. There are a total of eighteen different courses in constant operation, necessitating an active faculty of twenty-eight men. Charles H. Purdy, Secretary, is in general charge. Page Seventy-six Commercial Law III, IV N the fall of 1921, a group of yuum: men and women assembled at St. Xavier for the purpose of obtaining- a better knowledge of the structure of the laws of their state and country as they pertain to commerce and economics. The freshman year was :1 very intei-estiimr one. The first subject covered being- the Law of Contracts which was very ably taught by Mr. E. Cunway and which is an essential foundation for the study of all law The second semester found the Class under the guidance of Mr. Jus. O'Meura who unravelled the mysteries pertaining to the organization, rights, responsibil- ities and advantages of corporations. The interest manifested during the freshman year has been ever present dur- ing the sophomore, junior and senior yearst This is due in a great measure to the fine work of Mr. T. Geisler. The interest he has shown in each and every stu- dent, his broad knowledge of economics in general and the ability to teach, plus a line of original wit and an excellent sense of humor, have made the Friday evenings duringv the past three years very pleasant as well as educational. The ' subject covered by Mr. GUiSlel' are Sales of Pei-sunal Property, Bailments and Carrier, Insurance, Agency, Negotiable, Instruments, Partnership and Bankrupt- cy. We alsu wish to extend our appreciation to Mr. XV. Ryan, who by his untiring efforts and natural ability to teach, made the evening's during his: course on Real Property very interesting . It is with a mingled fueling of emotion that we look forward to the close of this our last year at St. Xavier. We sincerely hope that the knowledge and the high ideals imparted to us during the past four years will enable us to become a crexiit to our Alma Mater and a success in the Commercial world.

But we want to add that if you want to say anything: about the history of Accounting: IV, the words to use are AMBITION, PERSEVERANCE, ENTHUSIASM and ACTION. With the realization that undeveloped talent, like uncultivated fields, yields nothing, we started four years 21:10 to cultivate those idle acres of our ability Thus, we use the word AMBITION. We began with faith plus the courage, hope and belief in the things we undertook to do. During Freshman year we learned the only way to win, is to commence to win from the start and then tn keep vvei'lastingly at it. It is true this is hard to do at times, but the man who duos nut meet obstacles. is the man who stands still. Is this not PERSEVERANCE? It was just this sincerity of purpose, this will power and determinatinn which asserted itself by keeping our number practically intact fur the Sopho- more year. We reached the noontide of our college career eager to take a new grip on our educational efforts and hold tightly through the Junior and Senior years. This confidence in action represented nothing other than our ENTHU- SIASM. When the last word is said, however, no matter how ambitious, persevering and enthusiastic a class may be, these qualifications are of no avail, if they are not. backed by ACTIONilnts 0f ACTION; the kind of action that stamps a Class as a leader. In this, we believe, we have alccnmplished our purpose. The activi- ties of the Senior class have embraced the intellectual as well as the social phase of school life. We have contributed at all times to the progress of the student organization, the co-operators, and we are happy to say that our efforts have re- sulted in the attainment of unsurpassed success. Truly our class has been a whirlwind in ACTION. We hope now to be conquerors in new fields. We have observed the little margins on which conquerors win. They are usually but a shade better than those the losers put forth. The failures do not have the little reserve to supply the small margin necessary to win. Today thousands are in a neck and neck race to the City of Success. Thanks to the untii'ing eEtarts 0f the faculty, we have succeeded in building up this reserve. The emergency may come tomorrow, but we are ready to win with that little, but mighty important margin.

His interest in each and every one of us was unbounded and the splendid attendance throughout each session is a testmonial of our appveciatinn of his work. The class has been very active in co-operative activities and has enthusias- tically supported every muvement. The social spirit developed among the stuh dent body this year prevailed to a marked extent among the members of this classl The presidency was conferred upon Ray Finn, who took an active interest in the IDEAL interest that prevailed. We close the school year with the hope that the friendship formed will be renewed the coming year and, thus cemented, will endure forever. l'nge Eighty-nnz- Accounting I ERE they are, THE class of THE school, the accountants to-be.

They have taken an active interest in all social activities-but watch them, they,re coming back next year. Page Eighty-two Investments HIS large group of students formed the Wednesday even- ing class. lThese students were faithful all year duo t0 the interest and good leadership of the two subjects which completed the course. Rules and Regulations of Traffic was the first subject and was ably lectured by Mr. Patrick Kilgarriff. Everyone be- came deeply interested in this complicated subject and en- joyed all the hwell put lectures. The latter course was, The Fundamentals of Invest- mentsf taught by Mr. Wirt Dl Herd. All the students of this class reaped the benefits of Mr, Hordls teaching which was by far the most interesting and educational study at St. Xavier. Due to Mr. Hordls daily experiences in investments we were put wise to the fundamentals of every day invest- ments. Page Eightylthree Bookkeeping dents are?

Going deep into many subjects, delving into the works of many renowned psychologists and wandering through a maze of theories, true and false, they emerged with a broader and more beautiful conception of many things and are deeply grateful to Father Boylan, who has been so untiring in his efforts to cover the ground thoroughly and give the students a foundation upon which to build and :50 still farther into the subject.

Any bright idea as well as any reform instigated or seconded by the student masses receives a thorough airing, and an unbiased considera- tion from each member of the Council.

Some of the outstanding features of the work of the Council this year are the standardization of class and activity, ring and pin designs, the decision favoring an Annual, the second as such in the history of the new Arts Department in Avondale, and the resolve upon limiting future Junior Proms exclusively to those who have been, and are associated with St. Xavier. This last action was eminently necessary due to the promiscuous attendance of outsiders at the Proms in the past. The Student Council has served in many other ways besides those mentioned above, to the reahzation of an up- andedoing St. Xavier, they are to be congratulated.

And this has been the course pursued by the past Editor and fellow staff members of the Xaverian News. Editor Ro'bert M. Clinger has been alive to the wants of the greedy, news-devourers. His policy has always been in accord with the public mind. He has appeased the insistent demands of readers from all departments and has continually featured the up-to-the-minute topics, ever keeping his col- umns supplied with fresh, newsy articles. Much credit is reserved for the busir ness end of the staff, for keeping the periodical in a healthy financial condition. In April, the 01d staff was replaced by the new one. Earl J. Winter assumed the Editorial duties, left vacant by Clinger, and the ibooksi were turned over by Frank Arlinghaus to Keeley Downing. The tactics of ihustling Ike' varied considerably from those of Olinger, but the policy remained the same. The new Editor has inserted into his platform, the following plank, To think, talk and live St. Xavier . It is also the happy editorial faculty of Winter to be able to tmake, news when there is none, so the success of the News is practically as- sured for another year. Page One Hundred vhl The 1925 Xaverian HE most necessary need of anyone connected with Annual work is patience. Through the long months of accumulation of material, the lxlembers 0f the 1925 Xavel'ian staff have found this to be true, and have tried to follow the dictates of patience, in order that the results of their labor would be manifestly successful. No end of credit is due to the advertising solicitors who, in reality, made the Year Book a workable problem. Likewise in an editorial fashion, the staff combined to make the reading of the Annual pleasing and the book treasurable. THE STAFF J. HARRY MOORE, Editor-in-Chief RONALD JEANMOUGIN.

RUTHMAN, Business Pane One Hundred Two The Sedality ROM the earliest days of the school, the tradition has been that the devotion of Our Lady is a requisite for success, but seldom has this tradition been so admirably lived up to as it has this year. It is no empty statement when we say that attendance of the student ibody at the meetings has been greater than ever in the past. This fact is in no little measure due to the enthusiasm which the new Moderator, Fr. John F. Walsh, S.J., inspires and fosters. His solicitous guidance was a stimulus which the members found to be an ever elevating force and help to the things that really count. The Ohice, that lyric laude, is recited at each meeting in chorus that is as virile as it is fervent, and is, we hope, as pleasing to Mary as we are sincere. After the Office, a talk is given by the Moderator stressing the need of true Christian manhood in a world that it too prone to licence, and easy morals. The meetings are held every Friday, and on the first Friday of each month, Benee diction of the Blessed Sacrament is given. Two of the most impressive services conducted during the year were, Mem- orial Exercises for the late Rtt Rev. Henry Mueller, who was a Sodalist himself many years ago at St. Xavier, and the solemn investiture, and reception of fifty men into the ranks as Sodalists. The officers were: M. Albert Schmitz, Prefect; G. Murray Paddack and Thomas J. Manion, Assistant Prefects; Herbert H. Barnhorn, Sacristian; George E. Fern, Librarian, and Alfred G. Helfesrieder, Medal Custodian. Page One Hundred Four REV. JOSEPH F. KIEFER The Sodality Convocation ATURDAY, May 30, 1925 was the day assigned for the great Sodality Convocation at Corcoran Field. The Rev. Joseph Kiefer, SVJU was in complete charge of all details. A long line of SodaIists proceeded in order to the massive altar, upon which the statue of Our Mother was placed, and around which there were countless bouquets of flowers of every description. The participants in this rally were as follows: Boys of St. Xavier Com- mercial School, St. Xavier High School, St. Xavier College; St. Xavier College Alumni; members of St. Xavierts Ments and Young Men's Sodalities; students of all the Academies of Cincinnati, Covington, Newport and Melbourne; St. Xaviefs Ladies' and Young Ladies' Sodalities. Students of St Marys Hyde Park, and Elder High School brought up the rear of the long procession to the altar of Our Lady. It was indeed a beautiful sight as the graduates of the Liberal Arts College and 0f the College of the Sacred Heart, formed in front of Hinkle Hall bedecked and enrobed in the formal cap and gown, and slowly wended their way to the field, reciting, while they proceeded, the Rosary of the May Queen. The success of the Convocation is in every way due to the efforts on the part of Father Kiefer; his programme, which follows, well took care of the afternoon, and caused many comments of satisfaction to be heard everywhere.

Society HE Catholic Students' Mission Crusade, while not classed as a major activ ity, really is from the standpoint of the number of those who join every year, and work in various ways for the betterment of missions, both home, and foreign. Our Henry P. Milet Unit, named in honor of Rev. Henry P. Milet, S.J., one time professor at St. Xavier, has always been constant in its purpose of willingly co-Opel'ating with any movement of the organization, whether national, or local. It has, since its inception, been the local collection center for all the materials gathered for mission work. Stamps, tinfoil, money, and all means of convertable funds are gathered by the members from the Academies, High Schools and Parochial Schools, and then sent periodically to the National Headquarters. 011 January 6, 1925, the unit had as its guest Rt. Rev. Bishop Van Hoeck, of the India Missions. Through voluntary contributions the society raised a purse of one hundred dollars for the Bishop, and enjoyed the privilege of a special talk by him on the conditions, work done, and work to be done in his Diocese. The purse was a gratuity which was amassed without drawing on the treasury which is maintained for the usual disbursements to other needy charities. During: the past years this branch has received many curios and relics from Indiat and the East in general in recognition of the work done for the mission cause. The active enrollment now approximates one hundred members, and the promises of a greatly augmented student body for next year lends encourage- ment in the hope that many will be converted into Laborers in the Lord's Vineyard. The officers for the past year were: Earl Winter, President; John Stenz, Treasurer; George Fern, Corresponding Secretary, and Paul Rattermann, Recording Secretary. Rev. John F. Walsh, S.J., acted as adviser, and aided the Unit materially with his counsels and directions. Page One Hundred Six K. of C. Club HE K, of C. club, an nrganization 0f the Xaverian members of the Knights of Columbus was: organized in the college in the Spring of 1924 for the purpose of fostering the spirit of the Caseys in the college. It was called together and re-nrganized shortly after the opening of the scholastic year. Report had it that a few new members had been obtained from the student body during the Summer months, and that more prospects were in line. This proved to be the case, for, during: the school months, an occasional new buttun would be seen nccupying a place of prominence on the lapel of a new and proudly enthusiastic knight. The various councils throughout the city are cordially invited to send to the student organization at any time for information regarding the eligibility of any Xaverian in the College of Arts and Sciences, and are insured of an active and hearty assistance in the work of choosing men for knighthood in the organization The officers for the year were: President, Charles F. Murphy, Wilmington Council, Wilmington, Ohio; vice-president, Eugene Love, Fayetteville Council, Fayetteville, Ohio; secretary-treasurer, Earl J. Winter, Father Butler Council, Hamilton, Ohio. Page One Hundred Seven The Knights of the Blessed Sacrament HERE is not a finer organization to belong to in St. Xavier College than the Knights of the Blessed Sacrament. Its purpose, as the title suggests, is to foster a greater spirit of love and reverence 0f the Eucharist among the students. The society had its inception in the eHorts of Father John Walsh, who is also the moderator of the Sodality. The Knights engage on their own part to receive Communion once a week and to attend Mass at least twice a week in the College Chapel. Just as the gallants of old followed the quest of virtue with adamant pur- pose, so it is the desire of the present day Knights t0 striVe unceasingly in their pursuit of sanctity which is So necessary in these days of moral difhculties. Moreover these Knights have shown their true colors by the earnestness and consistency with which they tackle their self-impnsed obligations. Likewise, the wonderful example which is showu by these men, goes far in causing the society to be continually augmented. The society is capably headed by Bernard Bonte, the Grand Knight, and with the assistance of promotors in the several classes. both he and Father W'alsh are able to admirably conduct the work of this organ- ization of true Catholic students. Page One Hundrud Eight Kappa Sigma Mu HE Kappa Sigma Mu of St. Xavier College was or- ganized by students of the College of Commerce and Sociology five years ago. From a charter mem- bership of twelve, the organization has steadily grown, grown, and new numbers nearly one hundred; The object of the organization is to foster friendly social relations among the students in the night school departments and to promote greater loyalty to St. Xavier College. Membership is open to students in the College of Commerce and Sociology. Social meetings are held every month and in April of each year new members are initiated. The officers for the present year are: President Wallace G. Comer, Vice-President, Anna Schrage; Sec- retary, Marie M. Freiberg and Treasurer, John G. Kircher. Page One Hundred Nine The Philopedian Society HE Philopedian Society has the distinctiun of being: the oldest academic activity in the College. Its purpose is to acquaint its members with the science of debating, and to develop in them the art of Public Speaking; These two excellent aims of the society are most necessary to the College Man in order that he be better equipped in after life, in the discharge of his pl'ufessiun, 01' avocation. Offlcers elected to lead the society for the year were: J. Harry Moore, Pres- ident; Thomas J. Manitm, ViceePresident; John B. Stenz, Secretary, and Carl R. Steinbicker, Treasurer. The President's choice of a standing committee 011 de- bates, a prominent factor for the outlining of the programs resulted in Ronald Jeanmougin being appointed as Chairman, and Joseph Collins, LeRoy Grogan, and EarI Winter as his assistants Debates held during the past year covered a wide range of subjects. Ques- tiuns of State and National Legislation, Foreign Policies, Municipal Affairs, and even Collegiate Interests were debated. Among the many subjects are: Child Labor Amendment , HNullitieation of the Decisions of the Supreme Court by Congress , uThe Independence of the Philippines , uThe City Manager Plan of Govel'riment , and HRestriction of Attendance at the Junior Prom . The Society was fortunate in having for its Moderator for the year, Profes- sor Gavigan, whose previous experience in the field of debating has fitted him most excellently for the work of coaching. He is a graduate, and former Pro- fessor of Bates College, Maine, which lays claim to the International Inter- collegiate Debating Championship, Being an old hand at the art of Debating, as it were, he is to a great extent responsible for the success which was achieved.

XAVIER has always had a Society for Debating, the Philopedian, but only this year has she had a separate, designate organization to represent her in Iogamachy with other Colleges. This body, after the usual custom, took to itself the name of The Varsity Debating Squad, and then flung out its challenge far and wide for battle. One of the first foreigners to respond was Marietta College, at Marietta, Ohio. The delegates met in conference, and ar- ranged preliminaries; these having been settled, and the date of the struggle set for Tuesday, March 12, they retired to their own camps, and began to train their champions. Our own team numbers seven: Francis Ariinghaus, Thomas Manion Earl Winter, James Glenn, Richard Deters, Carl Steinbicker and Edward Mc Grath. By a competition of speeches, Arlinghaus, Manion and McGrath were elected to represent Xavier in the fight The question waszeResolved, That the individual States should pass child labor laws based on the provisions of the Fed- eral Child Labor Amendment. Mariettais team was formed by Lewis Mathers, James Sheldon, Adelbert Long and Henry Beren. Through some misunderstand- ing, the Marietta team came down ready to defendeResolved, That the Federal Child Labor Amendment be adopted. As a consequence, the teams did not debate, but indulged in a no-decision discussion of the same side. Other Col- leges at the present writing are negotiating with Xavier, but nothing definite is known of future debates, three bookings are tentative, two more in considerae tion, but nothing is certain; The Varsity Debating Team is sponsored by the Philopedian Society, the only difference being that the Varsity Squad is speci- fically representative of the College in relation to outside teams, whereas the Philopedian Society is local, and not limited as to numbers. The Varsity Team is coached by Mr. Walter V. Gavigan, Professor of English, and Moderator of the Philopedian Debating Society. Page One Hundred Twelve i'.

GLENN Oratorical Contest HE annual Oratorical Contest for the Washington Alumni Gold Medal was held at St. Xavier Memorial Hall, on the evening of February 22. Ten students of the College of Arts and Sciences competed. The stage of Mem- orial Hall which was so beautifully decorated through the efforts of G. Edward Fern, '27, presented a magnificent sight to the large crowd which attended. The judges of the contest, Messrs. Chas. F. Dolle, Andrew H. Foppe, Walter V. Heekin, James B. O'Donnell and Dr. Thomas Glenn, awarded the coveted medal to James P. Glenn, a member of the Class of '26. The subject of his speech was uJoan of Arc . Glenn traced the life of the Maid from her birth and early life in Domremy, to her bitter execution on the pyre at Rouen, France. Throughout his oration he made the audience sympathize with the Maid and feel the beauty and strength of her saintly soul. Second place in the contest was awarded to Edward McGrath, '28, for his speech, The Catholic Church in 1925 , a defense of Catholicism against its many adversaries; and third place was awarded to Robert A. Ruthman, '25, for his speech on, uDante, the Catholic , an oration showing that the Florentine poet's immortality is the direct result of his being a sincere and fearless Catholic. The other contestants, in the order in which they delivered their speeches, were: Frank A. Arlinghaus, '26, The Cradle of Famous Americans , 2 eulogy of the State of Ohio, and the distinguished sons she has given to our country; Carl R. Steinbicker, '27, American Independence and Woodrow Wilson , depict- ing the strong personality and firm convictions of the past president; G. Murray Paddack, '26, Youth in Politics , 3 condemnation of the lack of interest in gov- ernmental affairs on the part of younger Americans; Paul J. Brophy, '28, The Federal Constitution , a plea for the strict observance of the Iawa set down by the pioneers of our Republic; John A. Murray, '25, The Service of Citizenship , an argument for a realization of the true meaning of citizenship; Richard T. Deters, '28, Washington and Lincoln , an appeal to government officials to abandon political dictation, and to follow their own convictions as did our two greatest presidents; and Earl J. Winter, '26, 'tIndividuaI Rights , an emphasis upon the importance of the individual. Page One Hundred Fourteen THOMAS J. MANION The Verkamp Debate NE of the most hotly contested debates of the season proved to he the Verkamp Debate which was held in the Hamilton County Memorial Hall at Grant and Elm Streets on the night of the 24th of April. The especial occasion was the Silver Jubilee of the inception of the debate held for competition for the much coveted Verkamp Medal. A rather slim crowd was present to hear the topic that was up for discussion, namely, Resolved: That in excluding Japanese, the United States adopted the best policy. The Affirmative, which was rendered the de- cision was masterfully upheld by James P. Glenn, Thomas J, Manion and Frank A. Arlinghaus. Richard T. Deters, Earl J. Winter and Edward J. McGrath fought valiantly for the negative side of the question. The medal was awarded to Thomas J. Manion, T26, by a vote of the judges, three in number. The notable manner in which the negative side defended their points of issue, was a subject of much comment, Their arguments in their first speeches were very effective, but; they appeared somewhat weak in the rebuttals. The line of argument as followed 'by the affirmative, was virile and consistent throughout, Consequently the deCision was a very popular one. Page One Hundred Fifteen The Inter-Collegiate English Contest NOTHER of the annual institutions of St. Xavier, the Inter-Collegiate English Contest, was held on Monday, March 30 This contest presents a splendid opportunity to the students to display their literary skill as well as. their knowledge of current world topics, partie cularly those of moment to Catholics. It is open to all students of the Liberal Arts Colleges of the Missouri Province. The contest consists in writing: an essay on a subject not disclosed until the day of the contest. Six hours are allowed the participants. The authorities of each college then select the three best papers in their respective schools and forward them to St. Louis where all the manuscripts from the entire province are judged by a body of thirty-six judges. The prizes for the province are $50.00, $20.00, $15.00, $10.00 and $5.00. Besides these general awards, this year, the faculty of St. Xavier offered a prize of $5.00 to anyone from the school obtaining- one of the ten places in the contest. The subject for the essay of 1925 was ttPotent Catholic Life . The win- ners from St Xavier were Thomas J. Manion 26, Earl J. Winter ,26, and Ed- ward J. McGrath '28. At the time this book goes to press the winners of the entire contest have not yet been announced. Page One Hundred Sixteen The Intercollegiate Latin Contest HE Latin Intercollegiate Contest is held each year between the twelve colleges and universities of the Missouri Province. On a certain day the students of these institutions submit papers in competition for a gold medal, offered by the Rev. F. X. McNenamy, S.J., head of the Missouri Prov- ince. Matter for the contest is divided into two parts; the translation of a given, classical English selection into idiomatic Latin, to which is alloted the better part of the morning hours, and then the transposing of an excerpt from one of the 01d Latin Masters into correct English, which consumes not more than an hour and a half. The whole contest is thus limited to less than five hours. To their papers, the competitors sign only an assumed name. In another envelope, they place their real names, and also, the name signed to the contest paper. This envelope is then sealed, and not opened by the Faculty Members who handle the contest, until results of the contest are returned from St. Louis, where the papers are sent for adjudgment. Three papers are sent from each College in the Province, forming a grand total of thirty-six papers, to which are given ten awards; the first receiving the above mentioned Gold Medal. The selections of the contest matter this year were; a character description of Sir Thomas Moore, to be transcribed into Latin, and a section from the Dialogues of Tacitus, for correct English renderihg. The papers of Eugene Perazzo, 52.7, John B. Stem, '2'? John Tangeman, '27, and Francis A. Arling- haus, '26 were the choice of those submitted, and have been sent to St. Louis to represent St. Xavier College. Page One Hundred Seventeen The Dante Club HE Dante Club is a student organization the purpose of which is to spread the knowledge and appreciation of that greatest of Catholic classics, The Divine Comedy, through the medium of popular lectures. It was founded in 1921, the six hundredth anniversary of Dante Alighieriis death, and during the past five years has lectured before many local fraternal and social groups, colleges, high schools, and parish audiences. The members of the Club during the 1924-1925 season were Joseph H. Meyers, 125, President; Robert A. Ruthman, '25, Business Manager; James P. Glenn, 26; Thomas J. Manion, '26; G. Murray Paddack, 126; Frank A. Arling- haus, '26; Eugene J. Perazzo, '27; Richard T. Deters, ,28 and Edward J. McGrath, 128. This season was probably the most active and successful in the history of the Dante Club. In its course the members delivered their lec- ture at nearly twenty local Catholic institutions, and on April 30 a free public entertainment, sponsored by The Italian Pioneer Society and The Alessandro Manzoni Club of Cincinnati, was presented before a large audience at the Hamilton County Memorial Hall. Two weeks later, on May 13, three members of the Club, Meyers, Ruthman and Perazzo, traveled to Louisville, Ky., and lectured there at Nazareth Academy and before the Louisville Council Knights of Columbus. The proudest boast of the Dante Club is the high scholastic standing of every one of its members. Although these are only nine in number, there are among them the following honor students: six of the ten 1925 Washington Oratorical finalists and the medal-winners for the past two years; five of the six Verkamp Debaters, including the medaI-winner; four Intercollegiate De- baters; Editor of the 1924 Annual and Assistant Editor of The News for 1923; Business Manager of the 1924 Annual and 1923 News; winner of first and sixth place in the Intercollegiate English Contest; winner of third and tenth place in the Intercellegiate Latin Contest; three members of the Student Council; Prefect-elect of the Sodality and President-elect of the Masque Society; former President of the Sophomore Class and former President of the Philo- pedian Society. Page One Hundred Eighteen MANION DETERS The Dante Club ARLINGHAUS GLENN RUTHMAN MEYERS Page One Hundred Nineteen McGRATH l'A DDACK The Masque Society AS'T year a band of histrinnically inclined students of the Liberal Arts De- partment, realizing that a dramatic club constitutes an integral part of college life, formed the Xaverian Masque Society with the approval, and encouragement of the Dean, and members of the Faculty. Hitherto, though theatrical performances had been given, no formal organization for that purpose existed The new society attracted the attention of the students from the start, and it now is one of the most prominent of student activities. The success which the Xaverian Masque Society has so enjoyed is in no little measure due to the co-nperative work of Mr. W. V. Gavigan, Professor of English, and M1: John A. Ryan, SJ. To these men fell the arduous task of transposing green, and eager material into capable and creditable actors. The Society extends to them its sincere thanks and appreciation.

The Veteran Pat swayed the HBank of Humanity with the facile dominance which has always been his, but 10! over on the other side of the field was an innovation. The Knot-Hole Club, tnot offici- ally known as suchl, which had been tearing down fences had been admitted for the sum of one quarter, and reformed itself in its new quarters, constituting a Titan of lusty, cacophonic, treble opposition to all united cheering. Here indeed was a problem. These kids, loyal supporters that they are, were not only drown- ing signal acoustics and plays with their absolute pandemonium, and ructions in general, but actually succeeded in so intermeddling with the vocal efforts of the Grand-Stand under Pat, as to neutralize it. The Old-Timer would call the cheer, and none but the very near could get it or follow along in spite of his excess of gymnastics. The condition of alTairs was truly disheartening, and something had to be done. It was finally arranged that Pat continue to direct the elite, while Dick Deters and Ed McGrath would unite on the other side, and by pre-arrangement of cheers, work as one with Captain Geerin. It was a happy plan indeed. The kids who had defied the cops, provided for their guidance, be came as little lambs under the duet of yell semiphores. Each side thus cheering in unison produced an amount of pulsing volume that was simply sky-rending Oh it was great! Ame de Boue alone would have rendered one unresponsive to that beserker chorus. It was the blood cry produced by the delirium of the tight, and what fight is comparable to a football game. Vive le Football! Vive 1e Bruit!

The activities of this organizatioh of the School of Commerce marks the fourteenth annual round of sociability and mutual helpfulness among the students. This organization had its origin in 1911, being at that time a class club promoted by Rev. John McCormack. The election of officers on November 28th was the signal for an outburst of the most spirited electioneering in the history of the Co-opsV After the clamor ceased the ttIdeal Ticket emerged victorious having succeeded in elect- ing Miss Marie B. Schenke as president, Leo. J. Wimberg, vice-president and Clarence Tabeling, treasurer. Miss Margaret Strotman of the Andy Gump Ticket was chosen secretary. Tuesday evening February 24th, the Hotel Alms was the scene of the annual card party and dance, the banner event of the year. Nearly one thousand persons attended, the largest number ever entertained by the Co- Operators. Adolph W. Haas, successful campaign manager of the Ideal Ticket was also the chairman of this affair. Miss Anna Schrage and Ed. C. Heile served as vice-chairmen. As a fitting ciimax to the yearts activities the banquet held on May 12th fulfilled its purpose.

Originally designed as a debating society to foster interest in legal topics and also to promote forensic talent, it now includes in its program for the year a series of moot trials and entertainment of a social nature The moot trials have been of inestimable value in acquainting the members with the practice and procedure in court, and have always been replete with humor and fun usually arising from the earnestness and overvzealousness of the counsel and the mock-seriousness 0f the presiding judge. It might be said here that the Jurists have been greatly aided in their work by the best library facilities in the United States. Through the courtesy of Mr. Gholson, Librarian, they had access to the Hamilton County Law Li- brary, containing all the State and Federal Reports and Digests and more English Reports than have been collected in any four English libraries. Judge Marx 0f the Superior Court of Cincinnati has generously given of his time to instruct the students in the use of the various reports and digests, thereby instituting a course in legal bibliography only afforded by a few of the lead- ing law schools of the country. The members of the society have also gained much by attendance at trials in the State and Federal Courts Eocated in Cin- cinnati. To relieve the strain of constant application to study the Jurists have sponsored several dances at opportune times of the year. That held at the Claremont in May served as an exhaust for all pent-up gaiety held in reserve since the advent of Spring. Thus amid scenes of unconfined joy the Jurists marked the close of the Scholastic year.

The hall was named in honor of the Reverend John Anthony Elet, S.J., the first president of the college. Almost the first step the college authorities took was the appointment of the Reverend Alphonse L. Fisher, S.J., as director, and resident chaplain. Father Fisher, an alumnus, class of 1909, immediately made himself unusually popular, and by his wholeehearted co-operation and good-fellowship earned himself a place in the heart of each student in the hall. The residents of the hall are drawn from the three states. of Ohio, Ken- tucky, and Indiana. Notwithstanding the diverging directions from which they hailed, the Elet Hall gang immediately became the very backbone of the splendid old spirit of St. Xavier.

The Prom is, and shall continue to be an institution of which St. Xavier can well be proud. With the strains of the grand march echoing through the hall, Mr. Phil J. Kennedy, the president of the Senior Class, the guests of the evening, led the four hundred couples through the Charles II Tearoom and the Louis XVI ballroom. Round and round the spacious hall the marching couples went, until at last the favors, the long awaited souvenirs of the class of 26 were all distributed. Then the dancers resumed the business of the evening, that of thoroughly enjoying themselves. Midnight was long since past when the plaintive strains of ltHome Sweet Home', recalled to the guests the fact that all good things, even 9. Xavier Prom must come to an end.

The scenic arrangements de- serve special mention, for they not only followed the latest departure in the present tendency toward Drapes, but also brought forth some very original, and unsuspected talent in the way of lighting, and stage handling in Frank Koester, Scenic Director. In fact the entire production would have been a mis- erable failure but for the business-like manner in which it was handled by Ronald Jeanmougin ,25.

Those who witnessed the first performance at the Odeon will depone that they had an evening of unalloyed amusement The curtain rose on Stuart Walker's 'tMedicine Show, a very difficult character study with impressionistic setting. It brought to our followers the Thespian endeavors of Robt. Ruthman t25, Thomas Clines '28 and Paul Brophy '28. The impirical, and decidedly unique therapeutics of Dr. Stevln Vandexter forms the neucleus of the action. Beside the grip- ing character appeal, the play affords a glimpse of what might be termed the illusive philosophy of the natives of Kentucky of some twenty years ago, and which now is seldom in evi- dence. The Rising 0f the Moon ' by Lady Gregory, the second of the triad, cast four Freshmen; John Williams, Austin Welsch, James Quill and Raymond Albers. The play is a study in loyalty, and gives oneis conception of the proverbial police- man a decided turn. The Scenic Directors worked the drape idea again, which, with the clever lighting effects, produced the illusion of the typical London, or near London fog. The last scene of all which ended this strange, and event- ful evening, was the hair raising farce, The Ghost of Jerry Bungler . As the title suggests, it is a spectre play with an unusual ending, and emphasizes how susceptible even a crowd of men may become to the power of suggestion, especially so after they have had a few drinks in a dimly lit room. Howard Geerin i25 and John Gaynor t25, Goodwin Cahill i26, and Rob- ert Brunsman 26, Edward McGrath ,28, Joseph Niener 28. and Herbert Janzen 328, formed the cast. Page One Hundred Forty Page One Hundred Forty-one REV. FISHER THUMAN BRIDVVELL RETTIAG The' Passion NOTHER mile-stone marking the way of ever progressive St. Xavier was the presentation on an elaborate scale, of the Passion of our Lord in nine episodes The spectacle had four showings at Emery Auditorium, on April 5th, 6th, and 7th, and held the audiences speli-bound throughout. Over one hun- dred students, alumni, and associates of Xavier were assigned parts, which they entered into and enacted with more than commendable facility and character. The entire production was the work of Mr. J. Herman Thuman, who arranged and directed it; he was assisted by Mr. John Rettig, who designed the stage pic- tures, and by Mr. J. Alfred Schehl, conductor of the St. Lawrence Church Choir, which rendered sacred hymns at intervalst Rev. Alphonse Fisher, S.J., acted as supervisor, and Faculty representative, Mr. John C. Thompson portrayed the role of Christ, and was admirably adapted to it. He assumed the ideal Christ with a power that was almost hypnotic-it is hardly an exaggeration to say that he seemed to have been born to it. If genuine religious sentiment was ever stirred from an audience at the Emery Auditorium, it was The Passion which accomplished it. Mr. Gregor B. Moormann, as the Evangelist, read passages from Gospels which the episodes depicted, and lent no little amount of atmos- phere by his declamation. The unusual success with which the production met, along with the highly favorable criticisms from authorities, the papers, and other sources, is encourage- ment enough to warrant making The Passion a yearly affairt Since it was. and is wholly 3. Xavier function, and all the accouterments have been built up, the road is clear to its yearly reproduction.

Most people never give this most indispensible fellow, known as the Student Manager, a passing thought, yet he is the boy who keeps the players from the pass of playing under the handicap of misfit, tattered, dirty, or otherwise uncomfortable togs. He is the man behind the gun in his way and is a hero. Instead of one Student Manager for this year the team was blessed in having two to look after them. Phil Kennedy and'Jack Dacey are the solici- tous, mailing and toiling fellows who kept the wardrobe intact, always had clean towels and soap on hand, dispensed bandages and linament, massaged bumps, and gave the cheering word when things were breaking badly. Traffic in the stadium was officially and capably handled by George Vollman. They came early, and were the last to leave, . They are the ones who really can boast of school-spirit that is more than schoolvspirit.

It is hard for us to say of Bill, in way of athletics, anything: that is not 111- ready known. But as we feel he Will always cherish this book, the esteem of his fellow students, demands a place of pe1manence. Them is 110 athlete wealing the monogiammed sweate1 Who played steadier, cleane1 football than Captain Bill Knecht. He was always a dangeious man to the hostile backfield and a powerful wedge when his own team was carrying the ball. His ability was recognized by every team in the Ohio Conference; he never entered battle an unknown quantity. His reputation was won playing against men who watched him closely, who were waiting for him, but who failed to stop him. We know how Bill felt Thanksgiving! Day when he slipped from his uniform and hung it up to wait for the man who could fill it as ably as himself. He loved the game and gave it all that was in him. And so we bid a hearty farewell to Bill Knecht, an athlete. and gentleman.

George Reynolds, Captain-Elect EORGE YATZ REYNOLDS backfield star and last year's quarter-back will lead the St Xavier College Football Team of 1925 upon the field next fall. His team-mates decided this when they elected him captain, and they certainly choose a man worthy of the job. For two years George has rendered invaluable assistance to the team. He has been a good runner, an expert quarter- back, but best of all was his wonderful forward passing ability. In this last 111entim1ed capability a better man has not been developed around Cincinnati. Accuracy, distance, speed, he had all and each one in a high degree. Without stretching a point and in justice to him, it may safely be said that Georgels passes saved many a game. The captain-elect is a true example of the modern player. A clear thinker, quick to act, earnest in effort, great in spirit, possessed of all around ability. If the members of the squad imitate their captain, the team cannot help but be a winning Icombination during the season of 1925. Paste One Hundred Fifty WM. KNECHT Capt. 1924-25 GEO. REYNOLDS Capt. Elect 1925-26 Page One Hundred Fifty-one The Varsity F00tball Squad HE question is often asked by people outside of scholastic circles just why football is the national college game How is it that neither baseball nor basket ball rival it in popularity? We shall not try to answer a question that would probably bring to light a hundred different reasons from as many authorities. But it is certaih that football is a big factor in American college and university life, that it reflects credit on these institutions; for they have developed it into the splendid game that it is today. In our own team of the year past we have a typical exponent of fast, clever football. St. Xavier unfurled her colors above a truly representative varsity squad in 1924. It was composed of men who went the limit and beyond the limit to win their games; men who played clean football and played it well. It is true that they lost the majority of their battles; but they lost in a style that merited admir- ation in enemy ranks and strengthened the reputation that has always belonged to old Xaviereher sons are gentlemen as well as athletes. In early fall a group of gridiron performers gathered on Cnrcuran Field They were not inexperienced, but they had never played together in the same combination. Yet, from this number, Coach Meyer built up a machine that work- ed in efficient style through the last half of its schedule, And the final curtain dropped on as neat and brainy a crew as has ever defended the blue and white. When the 1925 season makes its debut, we can hope to see a team in action that has been strengthened by spring practice and confidence in its own ability, ea vital element that was missing in the early games last year. And whether or not this is the time and place to pledge our faith, we want our football men to know that we believe in them heart and soul, that we shall give them our un- stinted support as an appreciation of their efforts to increase the glory of our school. Page One Hundred Fifty-twn Coaches Meyer and Mayl E were fortunate this year in still having with us Coach Joe Meyer and we were further fortunate in that he was able to obtain as his assistant Gene Mayl, late of Notre Dame. of Joe Meyer much has been said in the past, in his praisei However, more is always in order. He has been with us for five years and everyone knows him. They know him as a coach who has done much for St. Xavier. Coming here when athletics were at a low ebb, when St. Xavieris prestige was nil, he took charge and through hard work and ability, he built up each sport until now the college is represented by capable teams which have had their fuil measure of succeSS. The stadium, and the fine condition of the football and base- ball fields, and the tennis courts are in a great measure due to his eiforts. The system of athletics which he has established here seems destined for success. May he stay with us to share it, Assistant Coach Gene May! came with the inception of the football season, and left with the close of it. But during the short time he was here he created quite an impression. He gave to the line whose charge he undertook, a strength which no St. Xavier line had ever before possessed. He hails from Notre Dame where he played end on the crack outfit of 1923. He was: a law student there, and after the close of the season, on Thanksgiving, he departed for Dayton to take up the practice of his profession. We regret that he could not have remained with us longer, for he was a good coach and a real fellow. Luck to him in law. Meyers and May! having nothing but green, raw material to start with, by the time the season had neared completion had a fast and clever team dashing on the gridiron, which indeed bids fair to make :1 name for itself next Fall. Page One Hundred Fifty-three Freshmari F ootball O Freshman football squad has never presented such promising material N as the one which donned the colors for the first time this year. Not only in numbers, but also in ability and enthusiasm, these boys have shown the kind of stuff that will lift a heavy burden from the shoulders of the coaches. Trained thru the season by graduate players thoroughly ac- quainted with the system, they formed very formidable opposition to the varsity in the practice sessions, and many of the latter players, as a result, are rather anxious about their jobs for the coming season. The outlook for next Fall, is a very large squad of players each vieing with the others for the regular berths, and representative reserve strength is assured for the first time. To acquaint the Frosh with the fine points of the system, a very successful program of spring training, lasting for over six weeks, was carried out by Coach Meyer assisted by Knecht, Wenzel, and Farrell. With this additional training for the new men, the squad should whip into shape much earlier next fall, and the outlook is for a most successful season. ' The men of the squad are: backfield, Scheibert, Clines, Burns, Allgeier, Presto, Meehan, Dawson, Grever, and Zaworski; ends, Hess, Buerger, Tehan, McGrath, and J. Williams; line, C. Sullivan, Specht, Donovan, Sunday, Jansen, Lampe, Staudt, L. Kearns. Conger, Perrine and R. Williams, Page One Hundred Fifty-fmlr King and Mueller HEN Joe Meyer began to fashion his green material into an efficient football machine early last fall, two athletes who performed in the greatest games that Xavier ever play- ed, volunteered their help. They are men who need no introduction to followers of the blue and white 01- to any football fan in greater Cincinnati. Yet we feel that a few words of gratitude and appreci- ation are due Joe Mueller, end, and Joe King, guard, both brilliant stars of a few years back. Joe Mueller has played so long with St. Xavier that the line-up seems strange without his name. It would be futile to try to enume erate in this brief space the brilliant performances of his lengthy ca- reer. Besides, it is not the purpose of this article, and it is un- necessary, for his fine work is still fresh in the memory of all grid- iron followers in the vicinity. And Joe is still doing big things for his school. Joe King, the greatest guard that ever wore a Xavier uniform, has never been able to break away from intimate connection with the team. If we take into consideration his years of playing and his time spent at coaching, we find that Joeis service record is by far the longest in local football circles. And beyond a doubt, his faithful work has been an inspiration to those with whom he came in contact. These men have given unstintingly in teaching the tricks of the game to beginners and those less experienced than themselves. Xavier is proud to count them among her alumni and appreciates the time and work devoted s0 generously to the team they helped to develop. Paze One Hundred Fifty-five Sports in 1924- 1925 HE curtain descends on one more year of student activity, a year which has given much towards the realization of a greater St. Xavier. In the sporting-world our school maintains her high standard of good fela lowship, and clean playing. Even though her success, when measured by vic- tory, and defeat, was not as pronounced as in other times past, the element of healthy rivalry, and tenacity of purpose was stronger than ever before. We had a typical example of this spirit on Thanksgiving Day, when we played the famed, and burley Haskell Indians. Before a crowd of some foiu'teen thousand people, Bill Knecht, sterling captain of the green squad, presented John Levi, one of the foremost of Indian Athletes with a tribute to his character, and a testimony of his ability. In- scribed on the watch given him were the following wordsettTo John Levi, All American full back, a real athlete, and sportsman, from St. Xavier College Admirers, November 27, 1924. Xavier was beaten by Haskell, but she proved conclusively that she has gleaned from football all thet it can givewcharacter, courage and a high conception of straightforwardness, and honor. Many win- ning combinations cannot say as much. Basket ball leaves behind another successful season. Xavier broke even in her conference tilts, winning two games, and losing the same number for the average of .500. In local battle she showed herself to be the classiest quintet hereabouts. Speed and clever passing was a combination too baffling for opposition. Baseball, the third in succession of the major sports is now in the lime- light The diamond is better than it ever was-smooth, velvety sward enclos- ing a heart shaped infield. ?ractiee has been regular; the hearty crash of the ash against the horsehide comes across the campus late in the afternoon, and tells better than many words that the team is on its toes, and ready to go. Sports go far in the development of a school. They have played a big part in the expansion of St Xavier, they have given greatly to the fine spirit that has ever been characteristic of the students, and alumni. Some of our athletes leave this year to begin the biggest of all sports, the game of life-e May they bat 1000 per cent.

With but five veteran regulars from the preceding season the bulk of the team was made up of Snphrmmres who were as yet untested by the strain of battle. But the spirit was good among these new men, and early season practices showed that when the whistle blew fur the first game, St. Xavier would be represented by a team that would fight to a finish. Captained by Bill Knecht, this green-sweatered teuin entered the first set-to full of ambition to win for their Alma Matelh Their hopes were given a severe jolt in a 13-7 defeat at the hands of the strong Transylvania Team. This was followed by defeats hy VVittenhel'p; at Springfield, Marysville :it Corcoran Field, and St. Louis at the Mnund City. In the next battle, Xavier did well to earn a draw with Kenyon at home.

Nearly all those attending the ceremony retired to Corcoran Field to encourage the lads in green, who were to show their wares in the initial conflict with Transylvania Cellege of Kentucky. I It was an eager, speculative throng that crowded the stands on this day The honor of a grand old school rested on the stalwart shoulders of a new team. The rippling notes of a whistle, a yellow oval somersaulting through the air, a perfect field, a jubilant mass of humanity,ethere, you have the inception of a new football season And well did our boys play their part. They fought doggedly to win their game and a place in the hearts of a critical audience that was watch- ing them perform for the first time. We can find no disgrace in their 13 t0 7 defeat, for they lost through lack of experience to a good team that was forced to keep its cleets in the sod every minute of play. Kelly turned in a brilliant game, his first in a college uniform. And Reynolds uneoverexi a few of his matchless passes towards the close of battle that kept the spectators on their feet. Whatever mistakes were evidenced in field generalship can be attributed to an inexperienced backfield. one just making its debut in collegiate football. The result of this game goes to strengthen the conviction that a team is Ktjinxed in taking the field after a dedication ceremony on its home grounds. Page One Hundred FiIty-nine Wittenberg October 18. T. XAVIER travelled to Springfield for her secnml tilt of the season, a 8 conference battle, with VVittenborpc. But the up-state aggregation proved to be a disastrous opponent for HThc Fighting Irish ; 32 and 7 were the respective numbers standing nn the scoreboard when thv din 0f conflict died away. Nevertheless, this score cannot be accepted as an indication that the Xaverians exhibited an inferior ht'aml of football. For three quarters of the way both squads fought an almost oven fuotingJWitte-nhorg leading by only six points. when the I'uurth period opened. Finding the line play and end run equally ineffective against a heavier enemy, Xavier resorted in the fourth quarter to a barrage that wrecked more havoc with friend than fne. Six times did the winning missle, hurled from her backfield, come to rest in the arms of at Wittenberg warrior, And three of these led to the nineteen points gleaned by the enemy in the final stanza. XavierKs touchdown came in the third period after a steady march down the field. The diminutive wonder. Tommy Mussio, pulled down a forward and skirted the left flank for six points. Wenzelk tne made it seven. The most pronounced feature of the Witten'herg game was. the improve- ment it brought out in the Avnndale gridders since their encounter with Tran- sylvania two weeks previous.

HENEVER the name of Maryville College is mentioned to a Xavier man, at least for some time to come, it is bound to conjure up that hectic battle waged on Corcoran Field. October 25th. And why? It is because his Alma Mater emerged a laurelled victor? Far from it. Was there much of the unusual about the game? Not exactly. But Maryville showed one play that had everybody in the vicinity of the stadium guessing. and we do not except our own pigskin warriors. Xavier scored her lune touchdown in the first quarter, after a varied attack of runs, bucks and passes. The second period gave no points to either side, and the half ended with a 6 t0 0 count in favor of the home team. The Tennesseeans did not seem sure of themselves or their opponents at any time throughout the first two rounds. Just what happened to the Maryville crew during the fifteen minute intermission is hard to say. Judging from their football in the third quar- ter, they must have snuffed dynamite; for the red-jerseyed outfit proceeded to garner three touchdowns out of five plays in highly efficient style. One of these markers resulted from the deceptive trick formation referred to above. Spectators, sport writers, players all spotted the man who was evidently carrying the ball. When attention was focused on this individual, Brown, Maryville tackle, came to life on Xavier's forty yard line, and with the skill of a master magician, produced a football from nowhere at all and strolled across his opponents' goal line. Even though the enemy augmented its lead, sportsmanship called forth much merriment at the mingled ex- pressions of surprise and dismay. Maryville added a fourth touchdown in the final stanza, making the count 26 t0 6. These figures stood till the final whistle blew. Pam: One Hundred Sixly-une St. Louis November 1. EVENGE is sweet! So sayeth the Mound City warriors as they walketh from the field of bloody conflict. There is no blow so keenly felt as that which shatters self confi- dence, especially when the blow is dealt in drizzling rain on a football gridiron before a thoroughly appreciative audience. The pigskin representatives of St. Louis University had little trouble in recalling such an experience, handed them by our own St. Xavier in 1923. And beyond a doubt, they never tried harder to win a game of football than on November 1, 1924, when Xavier met them on Missouri territory. The boys in green lost to St. Louis by two touchdowns, 18 to '7 being the final count. But all who had seen or read of the game had only praise for the pluck and endurance of the Avondale gridders. Despite many injuries received in action, they put forth a fine representative brand of football, holding the Mound City eleven to one touchdown until the fourth quarter. Xavier scored her points in the last few minutes of play. Bray ran the ball twelve yards to St. Louis, five yard line and then passed to King over the goal. This conflict marked the fourth consecutive defeat of the season for the blue and white; but nearly all can be traced to sheer exhaustion due to the lack of a capable reserve. Transylvania, Wittenberg, St. Louis practically won their games in the fourth quarter, while Maryville did her counting in the third. . More glory for the spirit of pluck and determination that continued to live, even after strength and endurance had failed! Page One Hundred Sixty-two Kenyon November 8. DEAL football weather welcomed the gridders of Kenyon College to the lists of St. Xavier. The game started with every wearer of a green jersey determined to show his faithful followers that the Xavier squad of '24 had something of the winning element in its makeup. But they say we improve by degrees; and the best that a hard battle produced was a mutual division of the spoils by two wornout contenders. The fifth game on Xavier's schedule ended in a '7 to 7 tie. The sparkling feature of this conflict was undoubtedly Beattyts seventy yard run through the entire Kenyon team. There was something familiar in the tingling sensation experienced, in the encouraging cheers of the crowd, as each Purple tackler sprawled in the tracks of the fleet-footed halfback. The teams seesawed until the third quarter, playing mostly a defensive game, always punting out of danger. But in this period Kenyonts kickoff was returned to the thirty yard line, the ball Was given to Beatty, and the speedy back proceeded artistically to cover the seventy yards between the line of scrimmage and the counting mark. Wenzel's kick was true. In the same round Kenyon bucked her way to Xavier's goal line. The Purple warriors opened the final quarter by completing a pass that netted six points. A fair kick knotted the score and the remainder of the game passed without danger to either team. Page One Hundred Sixty-three T575 . f . Kentucky Normal November 15. EFORE a crowd of four thousand football fans, St. Xavier proceeded to squelch Western Kentucky State Normal in the afternoon sun- shine of November 15th; 29 to 0 was the sad story carried by the Kentuckians to their haven, somewhere in the dark and bloody ground of a pioneer state. Xavieris line played a real game of football against the Normal aggrega- tion. Their offensive work was faultless. The backfield was protected in the execution of every play by a forward defense that never faltered against heavy onslaught. Especially to Mike Queenan do we tend the laurel, for his play was conspicuous throughout the thickest of the fray. The backfield, too, gave a fine account of itself. Snappy shifts, clever footwork, effective line bucking, and good passing made this performance the best up to date. The home team employed every scoring device in run- ning up her points;-line buck, end run, forward pass and field goal were worked equally well. Her defense was unwavering, her aggressiveness per- sistent. There was co-ordination at all times between line and backfield. The Xaverians counted in each of the first three quarters and brought the ball to the one yard line twice in the fourth period. Normal played a defensive game throughout. The only bright spot in their afternoofs work was an intercepted pass in the final stanza, which was run back through the green team for sixty-four yards. The timekeeper's gun barked twice. A jubilant crowd marched through the exits of Corcoran Field, a crowd confident that a world of ability was wrapped up in local green jerseys, and that it was just beginning to find its way out. Page One Hundred Sixty-four e t v. - - W1: war:- Otterbein November 22. T. XAVIER gave the Old Boys a glorious reception on Homecoming Day, Saturday, November 22nd, by smothering Otterbein to the tune of 48 to 0. Without fear of contradiction, we may say that this game marked the stellar performance of Xavier's '24 football squad. A dizzy pace was set with the first rippling note of the whistle. a pace entirely too fast for the Otterbein crew. George Reynolds established a record in forward passing that has never been paralleled in this neck of the woods, and one that is likely to stand for quite a while. He hurled the oval successfully nine consecutive times! Of course, much credit is due to the boys on the receiving end, for they were forced to make'a few ch'cu: catches despite perfect timing and accurate direction on the part of Rey- nolds. King and Wiener both showed class in holding down their win: positions. Wenzel and Ferguson also came in for their share of the glory The big lineman booted the ball squarely across the bar on every try for point, and Ferguson tore the Otterbein line into shreds time after time, The line play of the Avondale gridders left nothing to be desired. Cap- tain Knecht and Herb Rapp played their usual steady game. Queenan at left guard duplicated his showing against the Kentucky Normal outfit and earned the right to start against Haskell. The green team scored in all four quarters, making seven points in the initial period, twenty-one in the senond, thirteen in the third and seven in the fourth. The Westerviile eleven showed little strength either aggressively 0r defensively. Carroll and McCall were their best men. Page One Hundred Sixty-five Haskell Indians November 27. O the strains of the war dance the Haskell Redskins once more invaded Xavier territory, and again withdrew with the scalps of their enemy dangling from bloody belts. Before a throng of fourteen thousand Turkey Day celebrants, the valiant Avondale crew went down in defeat by a 47 to 6 score. Captain Knecht, on the sidelines for his last game of college football, was prevented from starting by a broken rib, an injury suffered in the Otterbein Fbattle. Before the contest he presented a gold watch to Big John Levi as an appre- ciation of the Indianis stellar playing and true sportsmanship in the years he has performed here. . Xavier registered her only touchdown in the first few minutes of play. After Smith and Pappio had failed to make first down for Haskeli, George Levi punted to the home team,s thirty-five yard line. Beatty took the ball on the first play and sifted through the entire Redskin crew for a well deserved marker. Wenzel missed the kick. Haskell counted in all four quarters. In the first half the it1 'i,tgl;hti1'1g Irish showed battle worthy of their name, holding the Indians to a 13,6 score. But from the start of the third period the steel-sinewed Redmen gradually wore down their lighter opponents. Beyond a doubt, they are physically the toughest aggregation that ever played a game of football on Corcoran Field. They take their punishment with marvelous tranquility. Nevertheless this last game on Xavieris schedule when contrasted with the first, brought out strikingly the vast improvement of the green-jerseyed eleven in two short months. Page One Hundred Sixty-six Page One Hundred Sixty-sevon Graduate Athletes i2 5 HEN Bill Knecht bids adieu to his Alma Mater, St. Xavier will lose a great athlete. During his first two years in athletics Bill played sterl- ing football in the private ranks of the blue and white. In 1924 he captained the squad and continued his fine work on the line. He was a great favorite at his school, a hard fighter always, a true sportsman and gentleman. Lowell Baurichter is another man who leaves us this year. Like Captain Knecht, he earned his annual letter in the tackle position, and never failed to show an excellent brand of football. His fidelity in practice and training was always noticeable, a characteristic which was doubtless responsible for his pronounced success. St. Xavier will feel his loss. We take off our hats to Herb Lammers, the plucky little halfback who also completes his studies this year. Herb literally fought his way into the lineup, and proceeded to show Coach Meyer and the populace just precisely what he could do. He is game to the core and as hard, physically, as the proverbial nail. He has the stuff of which gridiron heroes are made. John Murray, completing the quartette of graduate athletes, kept both football and baseball men hustling to hold him out of the game. He worked hard at all practice sessions and was ever ready to step into action at a word from the coach. An extremely likable fellow, Johnny has everything physi- cally and intellectually to recommend a bright future, To these four athletes who gave their finest, we extend the wishes of the men who best knew them, Xavier men, for all that is happiest in life.

XAVIERiS basket ball season of 1925 revealed some fine talent and S sparkled with thrilling contests. Even though the records show seven defeats to six victories, there were only a few points between Xavier and her rival on those occasions when the final whistle marked her defeat. Two battles were lost by a single counter. Every game was characterized by a whirlwind pace and plenty of fight, The first conflict of the year with Covington Y. M. C. A. was truly representa- tive of what was to follow. The Avondale boys won their tilt by a 26 to 25 score. Five conference games were scheduled, of which four were actually played. Muskingum called off her engagement, Xavier triumphed in the Ohio Northern fracas, and took Heidelberg into camp at Cincinnati; while she lost to Heidel- berg at home and to Akron at rubberville, giving her a conference percentage of .500. Our lads took four of the nine non-conference games, winning from Cov- ington Y , Cincinnati Gym, and itY Wildcats and Christ Church. But the Wildcats and the Cincinnati Gym had conquered in their first meetings with the X men; and L. B. Harrison accounted for two more defeats by playing their best ball of the year. Capital University was good enough to trim St. Xavier at Columbus. Page One Hundred Seventy Page One Hundred Seventy-one Page One Hundred Seventy-twn T this writing the baseball season is in full swing, and St. Xavier bids fair to eclipse all previous diamond success with her ex- ceptional team of this year. The playing; field is in perfect con- dition and offers every advantage for fast baseball. Larry Kopf, former shortstop of the Cincinnati Reds, and a. real ball player, has enlightened the X men on many fimx points of tho gameV And from the showing made by his charges thus far, Lnl'l'yls coaching is not far behind his playing ability. Up to date the Avondale men have engaged in ten games and won eight of them. They have indulged in heavy slugging fests that in most instances were too strong for enemy defenses. The spleue did box work of Bein and Kelly with Jim Boyle an the receiving end has figured a great deal in Xavierls victories. But these hurlel's were given fine support by the man behind them, on the infield and in the gardens. We cannot prophesy at this early date just what the final per- centage will be. But if none of the players are seriously hurt, we are of the opinion that Xavier has lost the only games that will slip from her this season. A good football team counts for a lot in any college; but when the football crew can be followed by a flashy court aggregation, and that in turn by a representative baseball outfit, there is nothing: to worry about in athletics. And St. Xavier seems to have the combina- tion this year, due to fine spirit, fine coaching. and fin? material. l'agu 0m- Humlrx-d Sc-w-nty-thrue Page One Hundred Seventy-four QBur ghhertiserz We offer our thanks to all who are listed in this section, and hope they will be liberally patronized.

Although the exploitation of the air for com- mercial purposes is still in the incipient stage, astonishing results have already been accomplishedr-and the time is inevitably near when air transportation will be a controlling power in commerce. When that time comes each city will have developed commercially in proportion to its active interest in aeronautics. Aviation is the only weapon commercially usable in peace and convertible for defense and attack in war. Aeroplanes, like fire extin- guishers, are necessary for home defense. Bombing planes attacking from high altitudes, unseen and unheard by day or night, can sink any fleet. Battleships are obsolescent. That may have been the cogent reason behind the ready acquiescence of the nations to the pact lim- iting naval armament. Our navy and seaboard lack aviation defense. Cincinnatfs development in this new science is evidenced by the activities of the Grisard Field Company. It is a Garrison Post com- manded by Major Edward L. Hoffman, U. S. Air Service, and is the base of the 417th Pursuit, 100th Division A. S., 368,369, and 675th Air Service Reserve Squadrons. There are connected with the Field 112 pilotsland observers, all trained in the late war. The enlisted personnel consists of 238 men from the engineering college of the University of Cincinnati. Six.Gov- ernment training planes With equipment values at $95,000, three com- mercial and two sport planes are in use at the Field. Since the establishment of the Company 2,500 flights have been made; 1200 paSSengers carried; and 75,000 persons have visited the Field. The Field has served frequently as a landing station for planes from other cities. Cincinnatils progress in the development of aviation has been made possible by the patronage of a number of public-spirited citizens and business houses. The most recent contribution to this progress is the beautiful new field in Turkey Bottoms, donated by Mr. Edmund H. Lunken, to Which the base Will be transferred from the present location at Blue Ash. In order to complete preparations at the new field, it will be necessary to raise a fund of $40,000 to provide the most modern hangars and workshop equipment. The successful completion of this new enterprise will place Cincinnati in an enviable position in National aviation. - 'I' Officers: Directors: JOHN D. SAGE, GEORGE F. DANA . THE Presndent W. C.
