JOHN WALSHE The New Faculty Building George K. Devine, ‘22. TO some educational institutions a new building is a mere matter of course. Progress in material appointments,—in buildings, in scientific equipments, in libraries, in athletic amphitheatres, in campus extension and improvement, and so on through all the appurtenances of college life,—is a mere matter of regular routine. With St. Ignatius College it is different. Though the oldest institution of higher learning in San Francisco, with a proud record of achievement in the moral and intellectual order, she is poor in the material things of this earth, and like the poor child who has received what to the children of the rich would be an insignificant toy, she rejoices in comparatively small things and perhaps, with a little more enthusiasm than her more fortunate sisters in the college world. Content to keep the even tenor of her way she is happy even in the thought of her continued existence during years of trial and sacrifice and there is something of rapture in the happiness which she experiences in the slightest indication of materia! growth and expansion. To her the new Faculty Ibiilding means more than mere growth; it marks a distinct epoch in her history, and it opens vistas of future success that are as encouraging as they are full of golden promises. Conscious ever that the building does not make the college, she is not unmindful of the fact that the work of education is assisted by outward respectability and that it is, of its nature, worthy of being carried on in classic balls and in an atmosphere of architectural beauty and attractiveness. That the new Faculty Building is a very gem of architecture no one who has seen it will deny. It resembles a long stretch of the brown-fronted dwellings on Fifth Avenue, New York, or recalls an entire block of the Corso in Rome, with its extending balconies and broad windows and evi- XEW FACrLTY BUILDING 9 deuces of solidity. To describe it is difficult, to describe it alone without reference to its magnificent, setting,—the Church of St. Ignatius, which is an accomplished reality and the College which is a future possibility,—would be to give but an incomplete picture of the old historic institution that began amid tin sand hills of what is now Market Street and that is destined to adorn Ignatian Heights. The Faculty Building is only a part of an interesting group of buildings, that are or are to he, and though an important part,—it seems to baffle description. “There it is,M one might say, “behold it in its severe monastic simplicity, admire it as a generous gift to St. Ignatius Church and College, recognize in it an admirable and faithful exemplification of the architecture of the Italian Renaissance, but do not expect an elaborate description of what is, in itself, remarkable for nothing more than its unobtruding grandeur and humble usefulness.' We must, therefore, view the entire institution to understand the significance of this particular part and to view it to advantage we shall take our stand on one of the city 's many hills. Buena Vista, as it is appropriately called, rises in wooded grandeur in the very heart of the city. From its summit we may command a wonderful panoramic view. Beginning at the southeast we can follow the almost uninterrupted line of the bay shore. The world argosies, the grey ships of war, the hurrying ferryboats with their long white wake of seething foam, out beyond the smoking chimneys of industry and the rugged tops of the sturdy warehouses whence the treasures of fruitful California ore sent forth to the world,—all these unite to give one an impression of the business-like spirit of the great metropolis of the West. In front of us lies the main thoroughfare of the city, with tiny specks of mortals hurrying to and fro on pleasure or on business. Beyond this scene of bustling activity we gaze with pride upon the tower of the Ferry Building, which 10 THE I OS ATI AS speaks with mute eloquence the familiar words: “San Francisco Welcomes the World”. Turning towards the north we see in quick succession, the towering office buildings, the white marble columns and the glittering dome of the City Hall, and the acropolis-like structures on the north western hills and then facing towards the golden portals of the western sea we behold an object that arrests our attention and commands our reverential homage. There is nothing like it in the city, nothing like it, we are tempted to say, in the world! From the summit of Ignatian Heights, far above the city of St. Francis rise the two crossed towers of St. Ignatius Church. If it be true, as Stevenson says, that “mankind was never so happily inspired as when it made a cathedral”, it seems equally true that in the whole wonderful course of San Francisco history, there never was a happier inspiration than that to which we owe this magnificent Church of St. Ignatius in its present situation. Many have been the tributes paid to its conspicuous beauty. We shall quote the following from the pen of Rev. I). J. Kavanagh, S. J.: “When the ocean-voyager approaches San Francisco from Xorth or South or distant Orient the first object to attract his attention is an immense structure that crowns tin Western hills of the city and lifts two massive towers towards the sky, like two arms outstretched in suppilant prayer. When the crosses of these towers and of the dome, which rises to almost equal height, are illuminated by electric lights, the object that first greets the voyager and bids him welcome to tin city of St. Francis, is visible by night as well as bv day. And if by day, the immense pile, glittering in the sun. is suggestive of noble thoughts, if it reminds the visitor that the people of San Francisco recognize the need they have of God—the effect by night is even more inspiring; the crosses stand out gloriously in the darkness and while serving as a beacon to guide the mariner through the NEW FACU LTY W ILDING 11 Golden Gate, they symbolize another guidance through another Golden Gate. “On the other side, from nearly every portion of San Francisco and irom the transbay cities, the building presents an equally majestic appearance. Sometimes it is seen through clusters of trees, a stately outline in the distance; at other times, like the tall cliff of which Goldsmith speaks, it rises above the rolling log and stands alone in its sunlit glory; again, as when viewed from the Oakland side of the bay, it takes the topmost position in the imposing skyline of the city, lilting its graceful dome and prayerful towers out of the tangled and rugged mass of the downtown skyscrapers. And thus while its monarch-like magnificence proclaims the rapid growth and heralds the future glory of the new and greater San Francisco, its heavenward-pointing spires appeal. with mute but forcible eloquence, to all men of every creed and of every condition in life to join hearts and hands and to work together for tin realization of a better and in consequence a more enduring San Francisco.” “St. Ignatius Church . That is not the complete name of the old institution. It was St. Ignatius Church and Col-lege that was of twin birth with tin city of San Francisco, it was St. Ignatius Church and College that was blotted out of existence by tin fire of 1906, and because the new Faculty Building is a complement of the Church and a prophetic promise of the College, it has aroused unsual enthusiasm and occasioned much joy among the friends of the Institution. Standing before it we may notice at once tin' contrast between tin Church and the new building. The latter has not the same splendor, tin same ornate style as the Church. Xor would lavish ornamentation become the home of men who lead a life of renunciation. They themselves have spared no expense in building their wonderful church, they will spare no expense in building their College, when the occasion is at hand; but on their own home they desired none of the 12 THE 10S AT IAS architectural embellishments that are so conspicuously prcv alent on the Church. And yet, the architect, under the direction of the donor and with the desire of the Fathers in mind has succeeded in constructing: a home that is majestic in its simplicity and agreeable in its severity. Following the general style of the Italian Renaissance he has very artistically and with great delicacy adorned the front of the building in a manner restful to the eye. The main entrance surmounted by a cross and two shapely vases, is a little masterpiece of chaste grandeur. On the other side there is a portico running parallel with the main wing enclosed by arched windows set gracefully between pilasters of Doric suggestion. It is part of the main structure, a one-storied projection, serving the purpose, as we shall see on entering, of offices and reception rooms. Above this portico and set in from it, the main building of two additional stories rises in unadorned severity. At either end there is a two-storied wing running south, toward Fulton Street, thus forming an incomplete quadrangle. The arrangement is admirable. The morning sun will flood the eastern side of both wings, and in the afternoon the western side of tin wings will be bathed in its warm rays, while the front of the house will be assured of the golden flood of light throughout the day. The building is so tinted that its color scheme harmonizes with that of the Church, and further strengthens the suggestion that the two are but units of a greater whole. As we enter we find ourselves in a spacious vestibule and we pause to read the inscription above the door that leads into the cloister: “Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam”,—To the Greater Glory of God. It is gracefully inscribed in letters of gold on a white marble plaque and tells the visitor the purpose of the building and of the lives of the men who are to make it their home. God’s glory is sought by all who serve and reverence their Maker. God’s glory is proclaimed by all Ilis crea- AFAY FACCLTY JW1LDIXG 13 turcs. rriic- pines wave their tops in the breeze to do Him reverence, “the birds that sinking: up to heavens gates ascend” bear on their wings and in their notes 11 is praise. Alan has power to make the universal hymn of nature vocal. He does so by giving glory to Hod. 'Phis is his destiny here and hereafter. St. Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuit Order, a soldier of chivalrous Spain, introduced into the service of God some of his ideals of military service and among them was what we might call a desire for distinguished ser-vice. Not satisfied with seeking the glory of God. he was determined to seek ever for His greater glory and for this reason he adopted the motto: “Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam”. It is not a boast of what be or bis followers have done; it is only a high ideal which I hey set before themselves as an inspirational incentive to greater labor and more enthusiastic resolve. Appropriately then is this motto inscribed in the new Faculty Building entrance. On either side of us are corridors, leading to the parlors, nine in all, where part of the Jesuits work is carried on. Passing on to our left we reach a spacious room, on the ground floor of the west wing. It is to serve as the working quarters and distributing center of the Francesca Relief Society. This Society composed of ladies who devote some time each week to sewing for the poor and whose charity cheers thousands of children annually, has become part of the Jesuit Institution. Its honorary President, and for years its active President, Airs. Berthe H. Welch, to whom the College is indebted for the building itself, thought it befitting, and befitting it most surely is. that the ladies who bore with the inconveniences of the home on Hayes Street should enjoy the advantages of more commodious quarters in the new residence. We have now visited that portion of the building which is outside the cloister. The parlors and the Francesca room will be frequently visited by men and women even after the building has been occupied by the Fathers; but only on rare 14 THE KJSATIAS occasions will men and never will women be permitted U� enter the cloister. In this little description, however, we invite all to accompany us even into the cloister precincts. Here, in the same western wing, is the chapel tastefully tinted in huff and not without its ornamental waljs and ceiling. The light pours in golden rays through the amber windows and reveals a perfect replica of an Italian Renaissance chapel, even to the details of the red-tile floor and of the fretted ceiling. In this devotional little chapel the Fathers will assemble for their Community prayers and in the Tabernacle will repose the Divine Master of the house as an inspiration to those who dwell under the same roof. As we leave the chapel we look down a long corridor towards the East. The high wall which extends for more than one hundred feet in length is now bare but soon will be covered with specially made book cases which while serving the purposes of a temporary library will relieve the monotony of the long white wall. Behind this wall is the kitchen fully equipped for its practical purposes and conveniently located with storerooms in one side and pantry in the other. Beyond the kitchen is the spacious room, with a row of large windows on the north side, that assure an abundance of light and contribute to the cheerful atmosphere of what, in a religious house, is regarded as both sacred and solemn, the community Refectory. The ground floor of the East wing is devoted to living rooms for the Brothers. There too is a large guest room for distinguished visitors. The Rector of the College and the Treasurer have their office and living room, one room serves the double purpose, on the ground floor on either side of this wing. The second floor may be best described as a block C. The corridor runs through a long stretch of rooms on either side in the main building and on one side of the wings. The larger rooms on the South are 14 by 12 feet, the smaller rooms on the North are 12 by 12 feet. One large window fur- SEW FACULTY BUILDING 15 nishcs light and air. There is a goodly sized closet built into the wall, a basin with running water, and two electric light fixtures, one stationary in the center of the ceiling, the other movable so that it may be accommodated to the varying positions of the occupant's desk. When these rooms are occupied there will be in each a desk, two chairs, a bookcase, a kneeling bench and a bed. The floor will be bare except for a small rug at the bed side, the walls bare, except for a crucifix and one or two small holy pictures. It is not definitely known at this writing, when the Fathers will occupy the new building, but it is certain that they will move in as soon as it is ready. There will be no special ceremonies connected with this change of residence, nor will it be permitted to interfere in any way with the regular college work as it is now being conducted on Hayes Street; but there will be in the hearts of all those who are interested in the progress of St. Ignatius Church and College a desire that this change of residence for the Faculty will be followed in the near future by a change of location for the College. What a glorious sight will it be when three immense buildings crown Ignatian Heights, the College rising in glory to rival the majestic church, and the now completed Faculty’ Building nestles in between the Monument of Religion and the Monument of Learning.

Yesterday it was Pan-Germanism; today it is the yellow peril of Nippon. Some years ago an eagle screamed in Europe and shattered the tranquility of two hemispheres. That eagle died. It had broken the peace. Its wings are crushed; its carcass has been stripped of its splendid plumage; its bones lie bleaching in the sun. That was yesterday. Today,—another eagle, powerful and proud, preens its feathered beauty.—this time in the East. Its talons are sharp and extended for the fight. It is restless; it is greedy; it is strong. Recently it lias occupied a new seat, despite tin protest of one of its strongest fellows. Will it too scream.— and break the peace.—and die? By some people, the context of the preceding paragraph will be branded as the hysterical outburst of a trouble-seeking, trouble-fomenting Jingoist. Their doctrine, they will tell you, is ‘‘moderation in all things”. Were it rigidly observed by all who proclaim adhesion to it, the world wouid have taken a long step forward. Temperance is a wonderful thing. Had it been always practiced our American liberties would today be untrammeled by the restrictions of certain constitutional amendments. But to carry temperance to excess is t transform virtue into vice. To deafen oneself to the timely warning of a friend, who senses the presence of a danger; to still the voice of judgment because it cries aloud for wariness and caution; to deny tin logic of one's reason because its conclusions may stimulate suspicion;— these are the acts of fools. Caesar turned unheeding ear to the warning of the soothsayer who bade him “Beware the Ides of March! That 18 TUB USA T AS message was distasteful to the Roman because it demanded caution, Caesar was too great, too powerful to stoop to caution. And Caesar—died. In the fake security which the knowledge of his greatness built about him he fell—an easy victim to the schemes of lesser men. As with men—so with nations! What, we wonder—will be the decision of mankind when it looks back on this living. breathing present to determine the wisdom of our general attitude toward Japan today? Will its judgment be. that this great nation in its pride of place, at the pinnacle of its power was guilty of the self-same folly that bared the breast of Caesar to the knives of his assassins? Shall il in the light of future analysis appear to ail the world that the American people, blinded by an egotistic conception of their greatness, rushed headlong and unseeing into the very midst of dangers that were plainly visible to the normal eye of reason? Shall it some day be told how the American eagle was lulled into a fanciful and groundless security by the sweet music of its own laudations, how it was rendered apathetic and indifferent to danger in the consciousness of its power, on the adulations of its inferiors,—it in tin midst of its lazy improvident dreamings was victimized by the danger it was too proud to prepare against.—the practiced—sharpened and murderous talons of an eagle that flew from tin East ? And what cause—what reason is there at the present time for the issuance of such a warning to America? Trouble in the nature of armed conflict, between this nation and Japan has ever been a topic of at least academic interest. Volumes have been written en it by the more eminent strategists of both countries. In the Pacific states however, and particularly in California, the question has been far more than simply one of academic interest. Due to the inactment of such measures as the Alien-land law for the purpose of affording to American citizens their just proportion of protection. feeling has sometimes run high both in Japan and along our own Pacific slope. Today that feeling has been 20 THE MX AT I AS reborn and intensified by the posit ion which I lie government of Japan has recently assumed relative t the rights ol the Cnited States in the important little island of Yap. Yap—he it known, is one of the Caroline Islands situated some eight or nine hundred Hides from the Philippines. These islands, together with all the other of (ici many's Paci fie possessions north of the equator, were included in the mandate conferred on Japan by the Supreme Council of the League of Nations as her just and rightful portion of the spoils of the war. The only island wherein Japan's exclusive control is odious and in conflict with the recognized rights of the Cnited States is the Isle of Yap. For Yap. small and insignificant as it appears to he. is tin very heart of all cable communication between America and the Far Fast. The arteries of news from two different worlds run through the very heart of this island. Prior to the war, when (iermany controlled the Caroline group, the rights of the Cnited States to the supervision and control of her national cable interests were recognized by all the nations of the world. Now, armed with the mandate of tin League of Nations, Japan denies any right of America in Yap, and firmly contends that, under the terms of the mandate her control is exclusive. The result of Japan's determined stand in the matter has been the launching of numerous official messages from Washington to the various members of tin League Council and to Japan herself. The I'nited States of America, through tin lips of her Secretary of State. Charles Evans Hughes, has voiced its official protest. The tenor of the notes is this: First: Since the rights of Japan in Yap are in conflict with the prior rights of the Cnited States in the same island. Japan can obtain no exclusive control over the said island without the consent of the Government of the Cnited States. Second: At no time in any negotiations has tin Cnited States Government ceded to Japan its rights in the island of Yap. Third: The Supreme Council in granting to Japan a THE EAGLE OF THE EAST 21 mandate by reason of the terms of which Japan could have exclusive control over Yap. did so absolutely without the knowledge, consent or authority of the Government of the I'nited States of America. Fourth: The I'nited States Government therefore, in view of the fact that at no time has it ceded its rights in Yap 10 the Government of Japan, and in view of tin fact that the Supreme Council conferred the mandate upon Japan without the consent or authority of the Government of the Cnited States—wishes to assert to all tin world that it still has the same rights in the island of Yap which it had prior to the granting of the League mandate to Japan. That briefly is the declaration of rights by which America has protested to the world the injustice of the Japanese claims. Already France, Italy and Great Britain have evidenced their support of the Cnited States in tin controversy. Japan alone remains silent. What will be her answer when it is finally given to the nations? She has only two courses open to her pursuit. One is an admission of America's rights in Yap, involving as it does the humiliation of a withdrawal from the attitude which she has so determinedly assumed. The other is the answer which in all probability would be most favorable to her arrogant, military caste, the answer which would amount to a plain, blunt announcement to all the world that henceforth the Far Fast and its adjacent side of the Pacific is exclusively the Dominion of the land of the Mikados! Of the two courses the first is more in conformity with the dictates of unimpassioned judgment. The second is more in harmony with the militant spirit of a Prussianized Japan. To choose the first course is a choice unshadowed by the hint of disastrous complications. A selection of the second might embroil Japan in a war with a mighty white coalition. Japan knows all these things. But still-------Japan remains silent. The suggestions of possible conflict with Japan are to some in the light of present events, due to the indulgence 22 the i ax at ax of timorous minds in fretful, distorted imaginings, wherein, details are exaggerated beyond all proportions to their actual importance,—suggestions that are fit objects, therefore, for the ridicule of sensible Americans. Moreover, there are those in the I’nited States today, and their number, unfortunately, is great, who base the safety of the nation on its geographical remoteness from the powers of the Hast. Fifts years ago the isolation of the American continent was a reality. Today—due to the rapid advance of science and the relatively incredible speed and facility of maritime transportation.—that which at one time was isolation the reality, is now isolation the illusory mist. Let us not depend for our national safety on defenses so obsolete as territorial remoteness. What, then, according to the tenor of this article should be the attitude of America? The purpose of this essay is not an infusion into the hearts ot its readers of a spirit of antagonistic and aggressive suspicion toward Japan. Its message is this: Watchfulness! Firmness! Preparedness! Let us stand by our rights and defend them. Let us be hopeful for the best, but let us be prepared for any emergency. Let us never permit the consciousness of our power to dim the national vision in its perception of dangers that are real and may be imminent. Watchfulness—without suspicion; Firmness—without arrogance! Preparedness—without militar- ism! This should be the attitude of America toward Japan. e Far out across the waters of the broad Pacific, an eastern eagle swoops and swims with lazy vigilance in the air. On graceful pinions, her powerful talons glistening and extended, her keen eyes frowning into the West she wheels above the nest she has usurped. From time to time she listens with intentness. She has heard the distant flutter of other wings. The silence is almost oppressive. Will she now scream— and break the peace—and die? F. A. Flynn I. P. Barnett J. J. Taheny J. M. Kenny S. D.

It had its halt dozen saloons for every five hundred inhabitants, but the climate was dry and the inhabitants drier. It had its wide open gambling-hells, the shrines of miscellaneous wickedness, hut it made no apology for itself, offered no invitation to the straight-laced and virtuous; it simply said. “I am what 1 am. If you woo me you must take me for better or for worse . The ordinary inhabitant never bothered his brains to see on which side the balance lay. This call of the wild had filled his ears and the glitter of gold had dazzled his eyes. There was but one exception, Sob Stef fins, the man of the cool gray eyes and stubborn chin, rugged of form and the best pistol-shot among them. He had made up his mind on the first day of his advent, “Gold-Hug lied it it spoke of “The better ; and yet it seemed paradoxical that it couldn't be “Worse . Taciturn on other subjects, he was eloquent on the shortcomings of Gold-Hug. In the beginning, local pride was sensitive, quite a number loudly protested their anxiety to champion its name; some few were rash enough to make tin-attempt. Then Gold-Hug awoke to the fact that it was prouder of its new citizen than of its good reputation. At least it was willing to concede him privileges that it was still shy in granting to others. Hesides, it was no little distinction to be considered the worst place in tin world by a man whose pistol-finger was so highly respected. Hut if Seb Steffins found Gold-Hug so bad. he was far from being a severe moralist. The whole world was black to him; what else was to be expected of Gold-Hug.

When Ilarrv Iloefler, the piano-player at the Argonaut, eloped with the widow Zander, and left his wife and three small children to fight life's battle alone, he discoursed long and eloquently on marriage as a mockery. When John Trueman, the cashier of tin Gold-Bug National Hank, absconded with the funds, he recalled to his hearers minds his pet theory that n; one could be trusted. When Andy Jones, the postmaster, was short in his accounts, Seh showed that “Government of the people, by the people and for the people was a fizzle. And when it was reported that the clergyman at Sheba Junction had repudiated an unsecured loan from a parishioner, he huddled the clergy of all times and placed into a common group and drove them through the gate that leaves all hope behind. What had soured this man was one mystery. What kept him in Gold-Hug was another. A man's lineage in a mining camp began and ended with himself. There was nothing to inquire as to that. 11 is history began with the last place he came from. It was dangerous to pry further unless by “special request. Seb had come from ’Frisco with plenty of money; had casually inquired about Bert Handley, a gambler, whom, he said, he had known as a boy and whom ldatives in the East were desirous of communicating with; and had manifested little emotion when a deserted hut was shown him in a redwood thicket with a narrow mound a short way off. “lie had expected such an end, he said. “Gamblers were fated to it, and it was to be by one hand or another. Hut it seemed as if his own hand moved instinctively to his pistol though he quickly suppressed the motion, and turning away asked if Bert had been alone. He was answered that he left a wife and a boy of fifteen; but as the tragedy had taken place a short time after the gambler's arrival, and mother and son had kept to themselves, little was known about them. Their only request was to be left undisturbed with tin dead; to have the burial strictly 26 THE ICS ATI AS private; and on the following night, they had slipped out of the camp for parts-unknown. They must have gone hy one of the trails for the stage-driver had not passed them on the road. The stream of life in Gold-Bug was too fast to bother itself with a bubble or two that had floated for such a short time on its bosom. A close observer would have seen the muscles around Seb’s mouth tighten and lines of pain deepen on his forehead. Could the speaker have had a hand upon the listener’s heart—but that was another matter. Seb casually glanced at the deserted hut; thought it would suit him; opined that the dead man’s ghost would not bother him; and settled down a denizen of Gold-Bug. Ib invested his money wisely; drank moderately and never gambled. If, at times, others filled their glasses at his expense they were welcome to do so; his own glass simply contained the minimum consistent with companionship. He would sit for hours silent in watching a game, but his interest was in a study of the players rather than the cards, and as he strode out into the night he would sum up all in the terse sentence “The Devil has the fools, but we are all in the shuffle.’’ At other times he would sit in the moonlight by the side of the cabin, never seeming to raise his eyes from the mound over which the trees cast their shadows. His face, however, was not pleasant to look upon. There was no tenderness for the departed What was the mystery of the grave? Vet beneath the cold cynicism of the man, there was a heart. Others were generous in words; he in deeds. The word of gratitude, however, must never be spoken. Gold-Bug knew the condition. Mrs. O’Flaherty was the first to sin and it was well that she was a woman. Her husband had met with a painful accident. Seb’s contribution had made appeals to others unnecessary and the poor woman was overcome with gratitude. “May Ilivin above an' His Blissed Mother an’ all the Saints”—She stopped short as she saw tin working of his features. “Cut it out ”, he shout- 0 THE PESSIMIST OF GOLD-BI G 27 eel. “Cut it out.

When they're dead let’s get rid of them as easily as possible. Hut the day came when even Gold-Hug had a thrill. Black Jack had been reported to be at his game again, and stories of hold-ups had begun to trickle in from various places. And now it was Gold-Hug's turn. Its own stage some fifteen miles from town had been called upon “to deliver.” There had been resistance. This was naturally to be expected of Gold-Buggers. There had been killing. This was expected of Black Jack. Seb would be a heavy loser because a large part of his clean-up was on that stage. “Serves me right, he said, “you can’t trust anybody.” But whether served right or wrong, he acted promptly. While others were excitedly discussing the matter, he had gone to his cabin, saddled his mustang, looked to the prim-a ing of his pistols and was on his way. “Wait and we’ll join, cried a score. But he was already out of ear-shot and a trail of dust was the only answer that he sent back. And yet as he spurred his horse (pieer thoughts shot across his mind. What was it all to him? Gold?

It was not cowardice that caused him almost to curse his haste, but the shame that he had had lost his self-control; that he had allowed the sentiments of earlier life to reassert their sway; that lie had proved recreant to his pessimism when unexpectedly put to the test. This was what pained him but he could not turn back now. No one would understand him. lie didn’t know that Mrs. O’Flaherty had sized him up when she said on one occasion; “It’s all war-paint that’ll come off wid the washin. ” He had no idea that the washing had commenced. Yes, he must go forward. This point settled, he felt that he was himself again. On he sped unmindful of the beauties of nature. He was thinking of tin miles ahead. To the outcome he gave little thought. No brave man thinks of the outcome. And, after all. to whom did it matter? In Hold-Hug he had finished the quest for vengeance. He had lived by the grave of the man who had ruined his life. It was hard for him to forgive his wife, and Ik yearned for his boy—but Black Jack was the proposition at present—Whoa! He had just turned a rocky bend in the road, and there coming down the hill at full speed was the stage that had been robbed. Had the stage been nearer the turn, his ride would have ended there; for the spring freshets had cut into the back leaving little room to pass. He and his horse would have landed among the boulders in the bed of the stream below. “You can’t even trust yourself in this world.’’ was his silent comment. And as he saw the stage-driver draw up his horses and reach for his gun. he added aloud. “And you can’t pin your faith to stage-drivers that have been visited bv Black Jack.” He threw up his arms and pressed his horse slowly forward to where a meeting might safely take place. The stage-driver soon recognized him and laid aside his gun. and as he took up the reins he east a hasty glance JUNIOR I.AW J. Copes lake F. Ainsworth G. Stockleldt J. Taylor H. Nolan M. Conklin H.

Black Jack dead Fire amid the Redwoods could only fly as fast as the news in Gold Bug. Killed by a Kid! It was as if a child had toppled over a giant of the forest. Whose kid? How? Where? There was a Babel of voices, but the doctor had to be found and the hut made ready. A horse and rider passed out from among them and none dared stop them. The gambling house was reached in a few minutes. The doctor listened, stacked his cards and hastened for his instruments. Mrs. O'Flaherty was giving a full account of the affray to a neighbor, imagination supplying all necessary details. But she broke off just at the most interesting part when Seb curbed his horse and shouted. “You're wanted at the hut, Mrs. O'Flaherty, and immediately galloped off. “I'll get me shawl an' be over, shouted Mrs. O'Flaherty. Seb caught the words and waved his hand that lie understood. “I'll need a guard as well as a nurse, he said to himself, “and that woman's a legion. lie knew of what he spoke. The stage was just at the door, as Mrs. O'Flaherty arrived. and a crowd of the curious had gathered. But a hand opportunely administered to the young and a word to their elders, aided by the doctor's warning that the boy would need quiet and rest, caused the bystanders to melt away, Tin: tkss m si or aouKiira 31 though some women reluctantly withdrew inclined to dispute Mrs. O Flaherty 's supremacy. “Stand out of the way.’’ she said to the men, “an give yer help whin it’s axed.

He was of slender build but well-formed and hardy, and apparently about sixteen. He opened his eyes dreamily for a moment as he rested in her arms, then his head sank back upon her breast, his lips quivering with pain. Seb caught only a glance of a white face as he hurried into the hut from which he and everybody else save the doctor were rigorously excluded. While the wound was being examined and dressed, they withdrew to some distance, to listen to the stage-driver’s story. Black Jack single-handed had held them up. Terror of the man had paralyzed the bravest among them. With their hands in the air they were submitting to have their pockets rifled when from a nearby thicket a boy emerged into the road. He was armed with a shot-gun and had been hunting. Had it been a man Black Jack would have been more cautious. Covering the boy with his pistol yet keeping each of the others within his gaze, he ordered the boy roughly to throw away his gun. The boy obeyed and cast its powder horn after it. Some motion of one of our party distracted the robber’s attention for a moment, when quick as thought the boy drew a revolver from his breast and fired. Jack’s eye caught the motion too late. His bullet in reply was fired by a dying hand. Back fell Jack shot through the heart; the boy badly wounded in the thigh. Who was the boy? The drived dropped his voice. “They say he is the gambler’s son; but the father was not worthy of that child.” Seb placed his hand upon the driver’s shoulder, or he would have fallen. The words that he had heard were like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. But he quickly recovered 32 THE ms AT IAS himself, though lie could not control his voice. Drawing a handful of coin from his pocket he said quickly: “Let the hoys whoop up that kid. hut let not a word he ever whispered connecting him with the cur whose body rots in yonder grave, lie was no child of him. And turning abruptly he left them. Heart and brain were in a turmoil. Yes, he must force himself to think, and think quickly. The mother of tin hoy must he communicated with. Whatever happened, her place was at the bedside of her child. Perhaps, after all. there might he a mistake, and tin wounded youth might not he the child he had cherished in his dreams. The doctor and Mrs. O'Flaherty, or rather, Mrs. O'Flaherty and the doctor appeared at the door. “The angel is restin’ aisily, she said. All young people were angels to the good matron when they were sick and needed her ministrations; when they were well. “Mmre the divil was in thim. “Could he he removed? ventured Seb. “Shure he could. said tin prophetess of medicine, tartily. “Ye has wan grave here already, and 't would he as aisy ter have two.

He asked whether he might have a glance at the patient. Mrs. O'Flaherty consented. lie tiptoed into the darkened room. All doubt vanished. The hoy was his. He longed to take him in his arms. Mrs. O’Flaherty was tiie visible harrier; there were others invisible hut none tin less formidable and real. The mother was sent for. Seb was not present when she came. He took up his quarters elsewhere, appearing only in the early morning and evening to do the necessary chores around the house, though he sometimes stole in by night to gaze upon the sleeper when In knew that Mrs. O Flaherty was watching. He saw the lines of health returning to the hoy’s face. Mrs. Harwood had frequently asked for him. THE I'ESS MIST OF GOLD-HVG 33 he was told. Harwood, the old name lit had cast off on entering Gold-Hug—why had the boy’s mother reverted to that name? At first it was a new motive of repulsion. It opened lip more cruelly the old, old wounds; but it was balm also in that it recalled an earlier love. She had not forgotten him. “She's the best woman in the wurrld,” said Mrs. O’Flaherty. “She might easily he that,” he growled, but his growl seemed hollow. “An’ her husband thinks her false an’ her friends and the wicked wurrld. Ochonc,” said Mrs. O’Flaherty, “it's the wimin suffers.” IIow his heart fluttered! “We shall disturb the boy if we talk here,” said he. “Let us sit outside, for the night is mild.’7 As they passed out of the room by one door, a dark form flitted in by another. The mother of the boy, in the room above had heard voices below, and thinking that the doctor had called, had quietly descended the stairs. She refrained from entering when she saw Seb there, and her dark clothing merging into the darkness of the hallway concealed her presence. She had no thought of eaves dropping. She would be with her boy until the nurse returned. Seb and Mrs. O’Flaherty were not so absorbed in their thoughts that they did not give a glance at the upper window. but it was closed and the curtain drawn. They did not mind the open window of the boy’s bedroom, for there was no one there but the silent sleeper. “You say she is innocent,” he said. “Yet she bore the gambler’s name here in this very town.” The form by the bedside started. They were talking of her. “It was only fer public daccncy and the bve,” said Mrs. O Flaherty. “What end she do, poor craythur? Niver fer a single hour was she that rapscallion's wife.” “You make the ease worse,” he growled. The face by the bedside paled. “I don't,” said Mrs. O'Flahertv, “A no wan cud make it better.

ATRIOTX of Ireland he strong in hope; your cause is identical with Mine!” That was the message that went forth from Mount Vernon in the year 1788, to the struggling patriots of Ireland. That was the word that sped across the sea from a man whose very name is the embodiment of all things American, and that man was George Washington. But if the great Washington in that far off time, could so forcefully assert the identity of Ireland's cause with that of America, with what far greater stress might we of today proclaim. “The struggle of Ireland for independence is the spirit of '7(i transferred to our own day.” Washington was not always great. Had not fortune smiled upon our American Revolution, the name of George Washington, hallowed, glorified, blest by one hundred millions of his countrymen, might to-day lie buried in the dust, sullied with the despicable stigma of rebel, a traitor to the British Crown. But one thing could never be denied him. and that was his unfailing devotion to the truth. Let us test, then, the veracity of this statement of his and see if in this case at least, we may not gainsay the dictum of tin-father of his country. How now, may this identity of Ireland's cause with that of America be shown; how may we demonstrate the truth of our proposition? The explanation lies in the appreciation of the similarity between the methods, tl� “ purposes, the principles and the ideals of the Irish patriots of to-day, and those of our own leaders of 177(i. the understanding of what was then and what is now. When the founders of our democracy decided to break 77 KX AM) XOW 39 with the mother country, they did not do so blindly and in a spirit of ungtiidcd impetuosity. They had certain purposes in view and those purposes they most fittingly expressed in the American Declaration of Independence. Ireland also has a purpose, and Ireland also has a declaration of independence, wherein she has expressed her objects, and wherein she asserts her ideals, her aims and her rights with unmistakable clearness. Place then, if you will, the two declarations side by side, examine carefully each one and note their equivalency of meaning. What was the object our forefathers held before them and for which, as they solemnly asserted, they were willing to sacrifice their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor? It was their aim to secure for themselves and for their children the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And that is the purpose that Ireland has today when she asserts her right to independence. It is her hope to secure Ireland for the Irish, and to see that it is governed in a manner that will insure the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to all within her shores. Therefore, we see that in purpose at least, the age old struggle for human liberty has changed but little, and the aims which our forefathers had then, are nothing more than the aims that the Irish have today and now. Hut what were the principles upon which the American Colonists grounded their purpose? Were they also the same as those held by the Irish today? Let us see. Examining that immortal document wherein are inscribed the no less immortal names of Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams. Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Jefferson, we find expressed in language clear and forceful, that the basic principle of all human liberty is that truth held to be self-evident, that all men are created equal. And this is nothing more than the principle voiced by the signers of the Irish declaration, that they desire their country to be ruled in accordance with the 40 THE 1 OX ATI AX principles of Liberty, Equality and Justice for all, which alone can secure permanence of government in the willing adhesion of the people. There are other grounds of principle, however, upon which the conditions of then and now may be compared. Examining more closely into that great document which proved to be the birth certificate of our American democracy, we find there asserted “That all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed . Xow what was the state of mind of the American Colonists respecting the Revolution, when the signers of the declaration. having enunciated this principle decided to change the government of the colonies? The historical fact is that one-third of the colonists were indifferent, one-third opposed, and the remaining third only in favor of the Revolution. What is the state of popular opinion among the Irish, people today respecting their claims to independence? There is no element of indifference; there is but one-fourth opposed and there are more than three-fourths in favor. Hence we see, that while then, the American patriots were virtually a minority, now Ireland is practically unanimous. What then hinders the application of our American principles of democracy ? There are more points of resemblence between the two struggles for liberty however, than were identity of principle and purpose. Against whom were the aims of the Declaration of Independence directed, against what power were the cries of tyranny raised, at whose injustice and cruelty were the declamations of our forefathers hurled ? Against the same enemy that has drenched the plains of America and Ireland alike with the blood of hearts that beat for liberty. It is against the same enemy, powerful, avaricious, deceitful and cruel, that lovers of liberty, both Irish and American alike, have had to struggle. That enemy is England, the TIfKX AXD XOW 41 same power that treated with indifference the petitions of our forefathers when they complained to the British Crown against the rank injustice with which they were treated. True, they had due cause to complain, but if America had grievances, how much greater are the ills of Suffering Ireland? Even as the colonists, she also has seen her sons transported across the seas to be tried for pretended offences, she also has felt the burden of a foreign power quartering large bodies of troops upon her, she also has seen the swarm of parasite officers sent thither by the British Crown to harass tin people and to eat out their substance; and what is more, she has seen and is daily seeing her coasts ravaged. her towns burnt and the live- of her people destroyed. These are the ills that the colonists complained of in 177(1. and these are some of the grievances suffered by Ireland today. No one will deny but that they are great, but multiply those ills by the sufferings of seven hundred long years and intensify those tortures in proportion to the consumate hatred and diabolical manner in which they were prepared and then you will have some idea of the unspeakable sufferings of Ireland. Ireland! In the language of her children she is their Dark Rosaleen. in the language of her enemies she is the Cinderella of Nations, but in the language of justice and truth, she is the maid of sorrows, she is the Mater Dolorosa of the world! When the Germans marched through Belgium leaving in their wake, ruin and destruction, when each new victory was marked by new indignities more terrible than the preceding, the world cried out in horror, and checked the mad careering of the war-crazed Ilun. But the systematic annihilation of the Irish people today would make Von Bissing blush for shame and confess himself a mere tyro in the crucifixion of the helpless! When Cromwell and his Ironsides, left Ireland in a veritable sea of blood, it was thought that English hatred had 42 THE I GNAT I AS found its most infamous expression, hut the activity of the Lloyd George administration, through the instrumentality of the Black and Tans in the Ireland of today, has given Cromwell and his Ironsides a semblance of clemency and by contrast would make the old baby killing Puritan, appear as tender and as loving as the Greatest Mother in the World. Rngland, as a human brute, stands pummelling the prostrate form of a fair and outraged maiden and there is not chivalry enough among the nations of the earth to cry out in indignation. “Stop! We may appreciate then that the sufferings undergone by the Irish far exceed the grievances enumerated by the colonists in 1776. There is still another link in the analogy however, which will serve to bind the fortunes of then and now. It is the golden link of similarity of leadership. Ireland has never been lacking in leaders and has always found men self-sacrificing beyond measure wherever the interests of their country were c ncerned. So today, Ireland has been blessed in her leaders, for never has a nation possessed men more devoted. more zealous, and more self-sacrificing to tin cause of patriotism. As America was blessed in finding a Washington for her first president. Ireland has been likewise favored with a Padraic IVarse. who, while giving every promise of a glorious career, entered the category of his country’s martyrs before reaching the full flower of achievement. As America in 1776 had a Patrick Henry who stood fearlessly before the first Continental Congress and expressed his undying fealty to the cause of freedom, so. Ireland has had a Terrence McXweeny, who, from a dingy cell in far off Brixton prison, cried out to the world in a voice faint but none the less eloquent, “Give me liberty or give me death ! As then, America had her Benjamin Franklin to appeal to France for aid, so now. Ireland has her de Valera to seek American recognition. France answered Franklin's plea and she has since TllES AM) XOW 43 learned even as the lion did learn from the mouse, that to assist the weak and helpless is often a very wise and beneficial thing. France came to our aid at a time when her refusal would have meant certain ruin to the American cause, and she gave, not only her recognition to the struggling republic, but offered her blood and her treasure in the cause of American liberty. France has since learned that to free the mouse was indeed prudent, for when she was securely bound in the toils of her enemies, the once helpless republic she had befriended years before, broke the toils and set her free. Oh, that the powerful Great Britain, who now threatens death to helpless Ireland, could learn and appreciate that the ponderous strength of the lion will fail, where the wit and courage of the mouse will succeed! Today, Ireland appeals to us for recognition, and by so doing, simply recognizes the precedent estabished by us in tin days of Franklin and the principle enunciated by Thomas Jefferson when he said, ‘'We surely cannot deny to any nation that right whereon our own government is founded.” Ireland has always been the friend of America, and there is not a page in our history that is not filled with the glorious deeds and the splendid self-sacrifices Irishmen have offered to America. All the way from Lexington to the Ar-gonno, Erin’s sons have borne the brunt of battle, now they will do their own fighting though outnumbered a thousand to one. The cause is before us to judge and must lx decided. Having tried the cause of Erin with the principles of the Declaration of Independence as our civil code, with the jury composed of men of such unquestioned integrity as Benjamin Franklin, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Jefferson, with Ireland in the dock as defendant on a charge which we hold for ourselves as a glory, shall we dismiss the case and as the world looks on. seal the death sentence with Washington as Judge?

Olson, Jr. IT was tin middle of July and Silver How, a prosperous mining town, was bustling with its usual slow activity. The mine was the only sign of life on the barren hills ot Nevada. Its huge chimneys towered into the dusty air and gave forth a transparent vapor, curling into the torrid sky. At intervals the dull thud of the ore cart could be heard to knock against the side of a gondola as it poured forth its precious ore. In the office of the Silver How Mining Company sat the self-exalted, quick, irascible Mr. Baldwin. He wore an angry frown on his broad face and puffed vehemently on the butt of a cigar. He was in his shirt sleeves; and beads of perspiration dotted his bald head. His fiery eyes were glaring at the telegram which he held fn his hand. “Give reasons for delay in shipment ’ Signed: G. L. Bennett. He threw the telegram on his desk, and after a moment's search he unfolded a contract and read: “The Silver How Mining Company agrees to deliver to tlie Western Smelting Company ten cars of ore by Thursday July 20, 1020. In ease of failure to deliver the sum of $2500 per dav will be forfeited. J. W. Baldwin C. L. Bennett. “Improvements, speed, the rush of the twentieth century. The man who said. ‘The American people do things in a hurry, must have been insane, he muttered in his wrath. “George, get me Mr. Iloke of the Nevada Central on the line.” “Twenty-five hundred dollars! for four days! ten thousand dollars! at least a week’s more delay! thousands of dollars! After slaving to save, I'm ruined in a week ! ’ George, the antiquated bookkeeper, who had given his 46 THE I (i SAT I AS services since tlie days of ’41). shuffled over the telephone and rang for the freight manager. Baldwin's anger increased as he waited. Hello, lie roared when he finally got his connection. “Mr. Baldwin of the Mining Company speaking. What’s the matter with that railroad of yours? Can’t you deliver a rush order on time? Why do you suppose I gave you two week’s notice? Haven’t you any ears on the line? Listen, now! What V9 “Probably you wish to speak to Mr. Ilokc,” came a gentle voice from the other end. Though exasperated beyond speech a torrent of words seemed to be on the tip of his tongue. “Yes,” came the deep voice of Mr. Ilokc. Then, witii greater eloquence, Baldwin reiterated his declaration of rights, and when he had expelled his wrath he finished with the words: “It means money, money, money to me.” The freight manager hanged the phone down. A half hour later the phone rang in the Mining Company's office. “Tell Mr. Baldwin that those cars have been on the siding since the first of the month.” (icorge repeated the message to himself, and then from the threshold of Mr. Baldwin's private office he timidly delivered it. Thoughts of perplexity and embarrassment crossed the mine owner’s mind. lie had made a blunder. lie calmed himself and thought clearly for a moment. I had better trace this thing from the start, he mused. Suddenly his big broad face was relieved by something that had the semblance of a smile, lie would get even. Joe Kennedy, the foreman in the mine, was a friend of all the men. Everyone liked Joe. In contrast to this Baldwin, on account of his stern countenance and exacting ways was known as “old grouchy ”. Bald win knew this and knew it too well. It all flashed across his mind now. He rose and started for the shaft. No, he 4 i' i urn men selechoss 47 would not go now. The twelve o'clock shift would he up soon and In would humiliate Joe before all tiie men, who thought him so perfect. Impatiently he waited for the whistle, and when it screeched forth the noon hour he bolted . out. lie stood at the top of the shaft with a look that told the observers that something was wrong. The men who had just come up stood around. 'Chose about to go down waited for a moment. Kennedy came up on the third trip, and approaching his superior, said: “That new vein we struck is a rich one. “Yes,’ roared Baldwin, “a lot of good it is doing us. He raised his voice to a loud and impetuous tone for tlie benefit of the working men. “There is enough gold down there to pave a highway, but why don't you bring it up? When I give you orders, I want them carried out. I am not paying you to go down there and watch the gold. That contract that had rush written on all four sides meant hurry, and you were supposed to drop all other work and get that shipment out. A contract is a contract and means money. Every day lost is $2500 gone, and all on account of your negligence. 1 have lost $1000 already and it will be a week yet before you can get those ten cars loaded. What's the idea? Have you gone on a strike? Whether you have or not you may go for good. I don’t need your kind around hen . Klushed with anger and excitement he paused to get his breath when peaceful George tapped him on the shouldei saying: “Pardon me. Mr. Baldwin, did you forget to hand over this order to the foreman. It has been in your office for a very long time. Baldwin's jaw dropped, he gazed into space, a quiver ran through his body, his clenched fist stood r out in mid air, his mind seemed blank, yet a million pictures were flashing through it. Was it possible? Could it be true? How could Ik forget that? What had he just said? Why did he ever come out here? How could he face the crowd? “What, he exclaimed in a voice of incomprehensi- 48 THE HIS ATI AS lde dignity when lie came out of his stupor, “you don’t mean to toll me that I forgot to deliver the order! You say you found that order in my tray! Why. why I gave Joe that order myself. I am positive of it. What is this, a joke? What right have you out here? Get hack to your office at once.” Turning to the grinning crowd he yelled, “Well, what are you standing around here for? Gel to work, this isn’t a holiday.” His voice grew weaker and weaker and iiis throat became dry. A strange feeling came over him. He did not know what to do next. “Er—er—” he stuttered, “come with me Joe.” Joe had been listening intently all the while and did not know just how In should act, but unconsciously he followed Mr. Baldwin. When they reached the office, Baldwin dropped into a chair exhausted. His pride, his dignity, his self-confidence were gone,—he was a different man. “Joe,” he gasped, “it’s all a mistake. I didn’t mean it. forgive me, stay bv me. I take it all back, you will keep your job, won’t you? That’s a good fellow, Joe. and I'll give you a raise.” Joe, who had been thinking of his family and had no intentions of quitting as long as he could hold onto his job, gave Baldwin his word. “What! The 26th! Let me see. Yes! That “six” looks like a “cipher”, but it is a six as sure as my name is Kennedy. The 20th would have been Friday of last week, but the contract expressly says Thursday.

The various experiences of the day had been related. Plans for the following day had been made. Topics for conversation were becoming scarce when I proposed the favorite after dinner diversion of every real camper,—the telling of stories. “You tell the first one!’ I was urged, and so began my story. It was in the peaceful little village of ('billon, which nestles high in a pocket of the snow-clad Alps in Switzerland. On this sunny morn in May all the townsfolk were gathered in the public place. At the fringe of the square, bustling with activity, could be seen three distinctive youthful figures. Two of them were youths, just attaining the prime of their manhood, the third,—a girl,—was a picture of rare feminine beauty. Herman Zermatt and Martin Hamel were contending for the hand of Marie Courte, and it was often of a summer's evening, that the simple mountainfolk would sit on their doorsteps, and idly discuss the chances of the two rivals. Most of the expressed opinions were in favor of Herman,—Herman the handsome, the genial.—over the more serious Hamel. Even Marie herself, seemed to lean, almost imperceptibly toward the former. Today the three were going on an expedition to the lop of Mont Blanc, and as was customary, the townspeople gathered to view the departure. Amid cheers and cries of Godspeed the ascending party set out, and soon left the town far below them. As they followed the guide tip the rocky moun- tainside, new peaks came into view, and yawning crevasses and dizzy precipices invited death on all sides. Now the forbidding crags here and there husbanded patches of perpetual snow, and from this smileless desolation, the little public so THE MS AT I AS square of ('liillon, was a tiny spot far. far below them. The party was entering into the land of eternal snow, and tin ropes and ice axes were called into use. The guide first tied himself with a stout Alpine rope, then, after an interval Marie was secure, then Herman and Martin. It was necessary for the leader to cut footholds with his axe. and the party progressed up the treacherous ice, where a mis-step meant certain death. They were climbing along a narrow ledge of ice, when Martin slipped, and, with a wild, weird cry, went headlong into the abyss below. Suddenly the rope tightened and he was left dangling like a spider, in mid air over that awful space. Herman felt the rope grow taui about his body, and in a flash realized the situation.—he was the sole hope for the life of his fallen rival! The rope grew tighter and seemed to crush the very life from his body. It seemed he could not breathe, and still that encircling cord held him. Black spots danced before his eyes, his head swam, and he felt himself being slowly pulled to the brink of tin precipice. All at once the rope slackened and the end snapped back with a vicious twang. In an instant In guessed the truth. Martin Hamel had cut tin rope which held him to life that he might not pull his friend with him into the abyss. “Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friend.’’ “HIS FIRST CASE” J. Stinson O'Brien. It was about three days after the office of John Dana. Corporation Lawyer, had opened. lie had as yet no cases. He was, therefore, highly pleased, when a man, well dressed, radiating prosperity, dignified in bearing and earnest in appearance walked slowly into the room. •‘Have a seat, sir, he said in a business-like tone, as he ronrrn men sNLficnoxs 51 looked through some papers and catalogues that had keen carelessly thrown into a drawer in his desk. He round one that he thought would impress his visitor. It had the appearance of an important legal document. lie then took down the telephone receiver and asked the operator for Main .‘ 24 (his home number). “Hello,” he began, “This you, Mr. Smythe? Well, this is Mr. Dana speaking. About that Bale-bro case that came up yesterday, everything was decided in our favor and Mr. Duffil immediately made out a check for $5000, the full amount and gave it to me,—$5000 is right, isn’t it—yes 1 thought that was it. What's that you say? Three other lawyers turned the case down! Why. I didn't find any stickers in it. but of course, I 've had quite a bit of experience with such cases, so that may be the reason. Well, alright, Mr. Smythe, I 'll mail you the check right away. By this time the party on the other end ol’ the wire either thinking John crazy or having an inkling of what was doing, had hung up. Believing he had said enough to make an impression on his visitor, he said good-bye and hung up the receiver. Turning around to his caller he asked if he could be of any service. The gentleman introduced himself as Mr. J. P. Moore of Helena, Montana, President of tin Associated Products Co. and that he wished to engage a lawyer to handle the firm's business in San Francisco and to protect their patents against any infringement. The man's speech, his knowledge of business affairs, in fact everything about him conveyed to John as it had to many other men, an idea of what an important person he must be in the financial world. John asked him certain particulars about the business and the outcome of it was that Mr. Moore left a check for $2000 payable by the National City Bank as part payment on a year's salary, to be paid the lawyer lor taking care of the San Francisco interests of the Associated Products Co. When this had been settled. Mr. Moore took his departure and promised to return later to make final arrangements. 52 THE ICS ATI AS Iiy tlu time John lel't his office it was alter hanking hours, so he was forced to take the check home with him. That night he celebrated his good fortune by going out and having a good time. The next morning after a hearty breakfast John took a ear that would lead past the bank where he could deposit the check. At a street crossing, a boy came through the car selling papers. He bought one and was just about to read an article on the Yap situation, when his eyes fell on the headline— “IN SANK MAN VISITS TOWN ' ‘ Mildly interested, he commenced to read the following: ids interest increasing from line to line until—but read it yourself. “Mr. J.

Junipero Serra Clias. F. Sweigert, 24. EAR historic Monterey is a valley, the valley of Car- mel. Set among its flowcr-hurdeiie l fields is (lie crumbling mission of San Carlos. Within its lonely, ruined sanctuary is a stone slab with the inscription. “Morn at Majorca, November 24. 171.4; died at San Carlos mission, August 28, 1784. All about this quiet little spot lies the great commonwealth of California—thriving, prosperous, and happy. Vet, resting beneath that slab of stone in the mission at Carmel is the man, the humble Fransican Padre, who, with his heart’s blood quickened the pulse of civilization in California, and made possible our prosperity and happiness. Alone, almost unnoticed in his humble grave at Carmel, reposes the masterspirit of California; a character unique and beautiful, a character grand in simplicity, lofty in ideals, sublime in purpose—Padre Junipero Serra. Every great character has been guided by the beacon-light of a high ideal. Washington saw, gleaming through the darkness of tyranny and oppression, the lamp of liberty and toward it he led his countrymen. Through the lowering clouds of slavery Lincoln saw the bright star of justice and equality, and following it through the dreadful night of civil war, beheld at last, the radiant dawn of Emancipation. What was the lodestar of the humble Franciscan Monk, who has earned for himself the foremost place in our state's history? Looking back through the mists of nineteen centuries, Padre Junipero Serra byheld the appeal of perfect love, the message of the bleeding Savior, dying for mankind, upon (iolgotha’s brow. To carry that message of love to the uttermost bounds of the earth became the consuming desire, the life-long purpose of Serra. It grew with him; it absorbed him. It moved him to choose a life of infinite toil. jr. ri:t:o seriia 55 infinite suffering, infinite sacrifice; that his fellowmen. ♦ languishing in the hopeless bondage of heathenism, might. know and understand the benign, consoling truths of Christianity. if Divine Providence had inspired him with so noble a purpose, it endowed him, also, with a character and intellect ideally suited to the accomplishment of that purpose. Preeminently a theologian and philosopher, he combined a profound intellect, with that clear, practical foresight, requisite for the gigantic work of civilizing a people, fallen low in the scale of humanity. Ilis was simple, child-like faith. Added to this was a will of iron, inflexible to every obstacle and a courage that would have been regarded as reckless in the most daring soldier. The brain of a genius, the heart of a martyr, the sagacity of a statesman, the tenderness of a child—this was Junipero Serra. It is the memorable July the sixth, 1768, in old Mexico, when Junipero Serra receives the news of Spain's intent to explore and colonize the great unknown regions of Alta California. Picture the saintly Franciscan, kneeling in his lonely monastery cell at Lorreto, in Lower California. The news falls upon his ears as a message from heaven. The simple padre is speechless with emotion. In his eye is seen the sparkle of a tear. Long had he yearned for the opportunity to go as a missionary into Alta California, and now that opportunity had arrived. The sun looked many times through the little arched windows of Lorreto, but never had it illumined a happier countenance than that of the humble padre, who had found on that day the stepping stone to his life's ambition. The Spanish King and the proud Castilian Statesmen could see in this project the means of amassing greater ‘ wealth for their country's bulging coffers. The Padre Serra sees more than this. In that Spanish proclamation, ordering the colonization of Alta California, Junipero Serra can see the hand of (lod. tracing the outlines of his future. The low 56 THE ICS AT I AS pathetic cry of the heathen soul is borne to his ears. Destiny make clear his vision. California is to he his field, civilization and Christianity his life work. Junipero Serra joyful at Lorreto? How could lie he joyful as he contemplated the long arduous life that lay before him ? And we cannot doubt that for a man of Serra‘s vision, the curtain of the future was widedrawn. lie could see before him the weary years of sowing, yielding only their meager harvest, yet Serra was joyful at Lorreto. Turning his back upon the quiet holy life of the monastery to which he had become so attached, and gazing with steadfast courage upon the dreary prospect before him. he takers in one hand the torch of Civilization and in tin other the Cross of Christ, and enters upon a task, which offers no promise of worldly peace, comfort, or glory. At the outset of his career in California. Serra was destined to meet with almost unconquerable obstacles. Disease had reduced the little band of Spaniards, to one-half the number that had left Mexico. Their spirits had been broken, by a series of unsuccessful explorations. The failure of a relief ship to arrive from Mexico, had reduced them to the verge of starvation. At San Diego, Don Caspar de Portola, the Military leader of the expedition, discouraged and disheartened, announced the abandonment of California. To him the colonization of the country seemed impossible. To Serra, it was like hearing the death warrant of his dreams. He pleaded for California, pleaded with al! the desperation of a mother calling back the life of her dying infant. He asked Portola to wait for nine days, then, gathering tin little party about him he commenced a novena to St. Joseph, patron of the expedition, for aid from Mexico. It is the ninth day of the novena, and yet no ship has appeared to relieve the distressed little band at San Diego. At dawn on the ninth day, Serra mounts the gentle slope overlooking the bay of San Diego, and turns his eyes to the sea. Throughout the day he scans with aching eyes, the jrxrPEHO SERRA 57 waste of waters as it lies in the changing light. He watches and prays with an unshaken faith, believing that somewhere just below the rim of the horizon, there must be a ship, with the hand of God, pushing it on to starving San Diego. As the sun lowers in the West Serra storms the white gates of heaven, (’an it he that the sinking sun is hearing down with it the dream of Junipero Serra ? Is the planting of the cross of California, to he reserved for other hands? Ah, no! For at dusk, on the ninth day. he catches sight of a sail in the distance. It is a ship, freighted with the prospects of a glorious future! Serra is overwhelmed with joy. Can we not see the brown-robed padre, kneeling on the sandy beach at twilight, pouring out his prayer of thanksgiving to God for this rescue of California's fortunes? The story of Jiinipero Serra's labors was but begun. Clasping in his arms the cross, he traversed his long pathway of toil, suffering and sacrifice. It was a pathway beset with all the obstacles that man and circumstance, could supply; a pathway of slow progress, untold hardship and discouraging failure. A pathway lit by the lurid glare of the burning San Diego Mission; a pathway filled with the mur-murings of lonely missionaries, longing to return to Mexico. On one hand was Portola, announcing the abandonment of California; on tin other, was the hampering petty policy of meddling Spanish governors. All these had power—power to discourage, there was something greater, more powerful than ail these—an uinvaivering faith in an Almighty God. With his hands in God’s as trusting as a child, Serra carried the cross, through every danger, until he had strung, a rosary of missions, through the valleys of our state; until he had won the virgin forests and the trackless plain for civilization and for God. Against a darkened background of hardship and suffering, he stands forth in the full splendor of achievement. The iong line of missions that mark the 101 Camino Real, give mute testimony to the splendid efforts and noble sacrifice of 58 THE fOXA TIAS California's masterspirit. San Diego. San Juan Capistrano. Sail Gabriel, San Antonin tie Padua, San Buenaventura, San Luis Obispo, San Carlos. Santa Clara. San Francisco, these are the mile-stones in the march of civilization in our state, placed there by the simple padre, who ied the way. Within the adobe walls of these missions. California's infancy was nursed. It was in them that the savage native exchanged the bow for the sickle and the arrow for the spade. Junipero Serra woke California from her immemorial sleep and with luring lips she called to the wandering sails, and caravans of the world. From the granite hills of New England, from the cotton fields and cane brakes of the South, the pioneer harkened to her call. “She called to the seas. With their tides of tang. To the ships of tin far off fleet. And they came in the lure of the song she sang. With their white sails to her feet.” Behold the saintly padre, in his declining years, at his beloved mission of San Carlos, at Carmel. In his feeble tot tering frame, see the master spirit of California. 11 is life work is finished. To King, he offers the rich province of Alta California. To Mankind he bequeaths the beneficient influence of the Missions. To his God he gives countless human souls. This is the life work of Junipero Serra. The devotion and heroism of some men has been tested al the stake. A few moments of torture and a heap of glowing coals proclaims them martyrs. The devotion of other men has been tested upon the gibbet. An instant of pain and the cold sorrowful dawn looking upon the deserted scaffold, proclaims them martyrs. Posterity bows its head to do them reverence. Oh. then write his name upon the scroll of honor, whose devotion was tried by a life time of torture, a life time of pain, whose sacrifice was made not in one anguished i jrstPEKO SEMtA 59 moment, not in one soul-trying instant, hut in a long, painful, laborious lifetime. A lifetime that was a martyrdom. Some months hence. California will send to tin National Hall of Fame, the statues of two of her most illustrious sons. •Innipero will be one of these. We may, it is true, chisel his figure in breathing marble, or mould it in living bronze. Yet human hand can fashion him no adequate monument. His own achievement is his fitting memorial, in the halls and temples of our cities, see the results of the humble padre’s efforts. “CALIFORNIA, lying where (Sod hath spread it.

It is commodious, conveniently situated, relative AN UNFAILING to the present church and the prospect-FRIEND AND ive college, and supplied with all the BENEFACTRESS appointments necessary for the comfort and the scholastic pursuits of a staff of College professors. Since the fire of 1906, the faculty has been housed in what is appropriately styled “an earthquake refugee shack . It was built immediately after the earthquake and fire to serve as a temporary residence, but, because the Jesuit Fathers used what funds they had for the rebuilding of St. Ignatius Church and for the advancement of the college, it has had to serve the purpose of a home for more than fifteen years. Nor was there any hope of improving conditions except in the generosity of some friend who would supply funds for this specific use or. better still, who would present, instead of funds, a completed home. This is preciesly what has happened. The Faculty has 62 THE MS AT IAS had nothing to do Inii to accept the new building, complete in every detail, including even the artistic work on the broad stretch of terraced lawn. As is but natural, we rejoice with the Faculty; we feel proud, for our city's sake, of this addition to its architectural grandeur, for the new building is a beautiful example of Italian Renaissance architecture; and, above all. we consider ourselves in duty bound to express, as best we may. our sense of appreciation of the gift and our deep indebtedness to the generous giver. Rut we are confronted by some difficulties. First of ail. the bountiful benefactress dislikes anything that savors of publicity; and secondly, wonderful as is the gift of a home, it is but one of a long series of benefactions, covering many years and taking us back to the days before the fire. This second difficulty is unsurmountable; we cannot even enumerate the generosities of this good woman. We think, however, that we may overcome the first difficulty and avoid giving displeasure. We shall speak more of the gifts than of the giver and indulge in what to every citizen of San Francisco is a pleasurable reminiscence We are too young to recall all of the old landmarks of San Francisco, but one of them has been described with such admirable skill and with such wealth of illustration in “The First Fifty Years , the golden jubilee publication of St. Ignatius Church, that we may mention some of the most conspicuous features as they are detailed in this book. IIow lasting must have been the impression made on one by a visit to the old church on Haves Street and Van Xess Avenue! The light streaming through the art-windows lingered lovingly among the gigantic columns and storied arches and fretted expanse of ceiling, and then reflected downward found its way. in subdued lustre, into the devotional quiet of the many alcoves that were dedicated to tin different saints of the Jesuit Order. The photographs that remain are very impressive; we may easily fancy what impression was made by the reality. In the first alcove to the EDITOH AL 63 left was tlie famous life-sized statue of St. Aloysios, resting as in sleep beneath the marble altar, while from above the Angelic Youth looked down from a rare artistic canvass on the prayerful visitors. An excellent painting it was, framed in gold and surrounded by columns that assisted the Angel figures to support the overhanging canopy of bronze. Then there was the life-like image of tin great Xavier as he stood with upraised Crucifix before the pagans of the Orient. It was a work of art in itself and in its setting. It recalled the zeal of the great Apostle and appealed with more than usual effect to those that lingered near the devotional shrine. The Altar of the Sacred Heart,—what prayerful emotion must have come into the souls of the worshipers who knelt before the beautiful painting of the Savior! It was in a massive oval frame, held by angels, surrounded by onyx columns and bv white marble figures symbolizing faith and love. Ye struggle in vain for words to express the glory, the majesty, the quiet calm, the devotional atmosphere that, even on ordinary occasions, must have been characteristic of that eld Church of St. Ignatius. What must have been the impressiveness of the solemn services for which St. Ignatius Church was then as now so admirably distinguished. Let us endeavor to recall some special service, when the main altar, of such massive proportions, is decorated for the occasion. The priests robed in vestments of gold, the sanctuary boys in cardinal cassocks and choice lace surplices, move slowl and solemnly from the newly built sacristy to the brilliantly illuminated sanctuary. Flowers of every heaven, a thousand flickering tapers, clouds of rising incense unite to add beauty to the permanent ornamentation. Here are Angels supporting the overhanging tribunes, there are other Angels holding sanctuary lamps or torches, there again are adoring Angels, Angels of hope, Angels of faith. Angels of love! The massive columns that form the reredos stand as sentinels around the painting of St. Ignatius in which he is represented as entering into the glory of Heaven. On either side the white marble statues of Mary and of Joseph enshrined 64 THE HiSATlAS helicalh the artistic suggestion of an open vault, through the balustrade of which Angels arc seen dropping flowers from Heaven. What a sight it must have been! Hut there was an appeal to the sense of hearing too, not only by the golden eloquence of such gifted orators as Father Dionysius Malionv. but also, and we might say especially, by the sonorously sweet strains of the symphony organ that rolled through the incense-laden air adding majesty of sound to beauty of color, appealing to the senses as well as to the heart and to the mind, telling the worshipers that they were compound beings dependent for thought on tin avenues of the senses and supplying those religiously elevating sense-impressions for which I lie heart of mail is athirst. Old St. Ignatius Church, a masterpiece of religious art, a home of spiritual comfort, a sanctuary of supernatural inspiration. bore eloquent testimony to the fact that some of her friedns loved the beautiful, appreciated the artistic, had exalted ideals of Divine service, and. above all. had the generosity of heart and hand that was necessary to make such a masterpiece a reality. There were, we have no doubt, many such friends; but the old Church, as it stood in its ornamented magnificence, was in great part the gift of one benefactress. The spacious sacristy, the gold vestments, the sanctuary fixtures,—carved oak and moulded bronze and rich vases,—many of the paintings, all of the art-windows, the rich ornamentation and the wonderful organ—were tributes of her munificence to the Glory of God. Her generosity entered even into the cloistral seclusion of the Fa tiler’s residence. She had their domestic chapel converted into a little gem of varied lovliness and though, through some mistake, it was not hers to sec that little chapel, how fervently must the old Fathers have recommended their friend and benefactress to God when they assembled there for daily prayers! Old St. Ignatius seemed destined to endure as long as the city itself. It did, indeed, weather the earthquake shock. EDITORIAL 65 with t!it� same rugged case as tile steel-ribbed ship weathers tlie storm at sea; hut it succumbed to the devastating flames that swept in unhindered ruthlessness over the city during the ever memorable week of mid-April, 1906. Of the glory and the majesty of St. Ignatius nothing remained but a seared skeleton of brick towering in solemn sadness over the blackened ruins of San Francisco. At the time the faithful friend of St. Ignatius was in New York. She read the news of the disaster, she learnt of her personal losses and of the loss of what might be called her Church. Marred beyond the power of resuscitation was its beauty, broken were its mighty arches, stilled was the voice of its sonorous organ ! Ever to be remembered, never to be sufficiently admired, was the open-hearted, open-handed generosity of those days. The dauntless courage, the indomitable spirit, the determined resolve to build again have made San Francisco known and loved throughout the world. The faithful friend of St. Ignatius was not the least nor the last in her generosity. Her first thought was for the Jesuit Fathers and she wired at once offering to them, as a temporary shelter, her palatial home on Eddy Street! The Fathers hesitated, but they could not resist her personal appeal when, after reaching the city, she renewed, with insisl-anoe. her generous offer. From May until October, 1906, the Jesuit Fathers occupied her home, continued their church-work in a little chapel she had erected on the lawn and experienced, as few others could, the effects of the inextinguishable generosity that was characteristic of those days. Then came the multiplication of mistakes or lamentable lack of foresight, or unavoidable circumstances that united to depreciate the value of property and to increase the debt incurred by the Jesuits, in rebuilding on a grander scale, the present St. Ignatius Church. The old historic institution was threatened with ship-wreck and would have gone out of the life of San Francisco had not the appeal for help in 1919 met with such an encouraging response. Funds poured in 66 THE I aSAT AS from all sides, the site of tile old Church was sold, and the institution, though not entirely freed from debt, was in a position to continue its work with revived hope and promise of more abundant years. One thought was now uppermost in the minds of those who were interested in the work of St. Ignatius’ Church and College. “If the Fathers only had a home!” they thought. They knew of the inconveniences of fifteen years, they knew of the inadequate accomodations of the poorly constructed earthquake-shack in which they had been content to live and labor for the Glory of God and the salvation of souls and so. in their charity, they hoped to see the Fathers provided with a suitable home. Again was the faithful friend at hand not with an offer to assist, but with a determination to take upon herself the whole responsibility and to present the completed residence to tin Jesuit Fathers of St. Ignatius. It is now an accomplished fact, a beautiful home that answers all the needs of a religious community. It is described elsewhere in this magazine. Our purpose was to indicate that, great as the gift is, it is but one of a long series of equally appreciated benefactions. It is therefore from the fullness of our hearts that we speak when turning from the gifts to the generous giver, we endeavor 1o give expression of our gratitude and to acknowledge our indebtedness. To a woman who has stood by St. Ignatius Church and College in the sunshine of prosperity and in the dark days of disaster, who was as willing to condone the lack of foresight which resulted in an all but ruinous collapse, as she was to offer a helping hand and an encouraging word to save it from destruction, to a woman, not enormously rich, as riches are at present computed, but rich enough to make us thank God that such a thing as wealth is possible, for the opportunities it affords for doing good to others.—to MRS. HERTilK L. WELCH, the unfailing friend and benefactress of St. Ignatius’ Church and College, Ibis issue of the Ignati n is gratefully, affectionately and prayerfully inscribed. The Annual Banquet of the Alumni Association was held at Tails at the Beach on the evening of October 21. 11)20. The members assembled at the Olympic Club, where they were met by machines and driven out to the popular resort on the Great Highway. After those present had partaken heartily of the tempting viands set before them, and had emitted several sighs for the good old days B. P., C. Harold Caulfield, presiding in the absence of President Murphy, announced 1 hat the chief business of the evening was the election of officers. Several men having been nominated for each office, some enthusiastic balloting ensued, and after the smoke of battle had lifted the following results were announced: President ................Edward F. O’Dav Vice-President............Ivan X. Maroevich Secretary .......... J. Frederick McDonald Treasurer ..............Walter J. O'Connor The overwhelming victory of the “recent grads’ moved Vincent Butler to characterize the outcome as indicative of .the “Bolshevism of the younger generationwhich remark won for Sir Vincent the unanimous “raspberry ”, if I may be permitted to borrow from Shakespeare, of the less mature and cultured delegation. Chairman Caulfield commented that it was customary for the newly elected officers to favor their fellow alumni with a few remarks, and rather than depart from the sacred custom, all made short speeches, Father Laherty, the new Moderator, blazing the trail. The business of the evening disposed of, the members 68 THE Hi SAT I AS turned to more entertaining pastimes, giving some of the talented members t’ the organization an opportunity to display their wares. The feature of the program was the su-herb interpretation of that old favorite, “The Shooting of Dan McGrew, by Hill Brennan. The proper atmosphere was provided for this selection by “Hob Ryan, who presided at the console of the world's smallest organ and accompanied “Bill ' with soul-stirring music. There are some who maintain that “Hob did not keep the proper tempo, whatever that is, and that he often gained a lap or two on the eloquent young attorney, but if such was the east it was overlooked by the vast majority. At the conclusion of the program a dash was made foi tin machines, and it is reported that almost all were successful in securing a ride home. A few months ago about twenty “old boys'’ gathered around the festive board at tin St. Francis Hotel with Father Ilenry Woods, S. J., as the guest of honor. Fr. Woods was in San Francisco for a few days' visit and his friends were not slow to pass the word around. This friendly gathering is indicative of the high esteem in which the eminent Jesuit is held by those who profited by his instruction while he was a member of the Faculty of the college.

While holding his former position he was in charge of lletch lietehy construction, and won an enviable reputation by his work on this project.

J., having completed his studies at St. Louis Cniversity, is back on the Pacific Coast again. At present Father Flaherty is stationed at ’05 Sacred Heart Novitiate, Los Gatos. Since his return from the East, lie has found time to pay St. Ignatius several visits, during one of which he inspected the editorial rooms of the Ignatian, and pronounced them much better equipped than when he served as Director. We hope that we may have tile pleasure of seeing Father Flaherty more frequently in tin future, and sincerely trust that next year will find him a member of the S. I. Faculty. Rev. Victor V. White, S. .J., is spending his last few months at St. Louis Cniversity. where he has been completing his theological studies, and will soon be on the 06 Pacific Coast again. A host of friends will welcome Father White on iiis return, and will be more than pleased if St. Ignatius is allowed to profit by his energy and ability.

Harold Caulfield, A. B., was elevated to the office of Grand Knight of San Francisco Council Xo. 615 of the Knights of Columbus. The Ignatian extends to Harold its congratulations and sincerely hopes that his term will long be remembered for its prosperity and success. The many friends of James J. Harrington, A.

The young lady in the case is Miss (’icily Joan Windele, a young debutante of charming personality. Here’s wishing them all the happiness in the world. Thomas II. Foster, A.

The members of the Alumni Association have given their new Moderator, Father Laherty, a most hearty welcome into their ranks. Father Laherty is possessed of a winning personality, and as an officer of this famous organization, he should be able to accomplish no end of good both for the College and its graduates. As we go to press the headquarters of the May Festival Committee in the Phelan Building reports that a number of “old boys have volunteered their assistance and are doing everything in their power to make this monster benefit for St. Ignatius Church and College a great success. Among those who are taking an active part in the work are Frank and Raleigh Kelly. May their efforts, together with tin efforts of the thousands of friends of the Jesuit Fathers, be successful in wiping out the debt under which St. Ignatius is now struggling. Darrell W. Daly. A. II. '19. L In reviewing the history of an institution, it is most proper, at all times, to gaze for a moment upon those lights of wisdom who for the past years have zealously guided the uncertain foot-steps of the willing students, through tin dark passages and intricate mazes of Law. Therefore, out of the respect and love which we hear them, let us refresh our memories with the names of those men. who, through their untiring efforts and unselfish attention, have made it not only possible, hut even certain, of passing State competition. The College of Law may well boast of its unsurpassed staff which consists of: MATT. 1. SI LLI VAX, A. B., L.L. B. FRANCIS I. BARRETT, A. M.. L.L. B. WILLIAM A. BREEN, A. M., L.L. D. JOSEPH A. FARRY, A. M., L.L. I). CHARLES P. KXIGIITS, A. B., L.L. B. BENJAMIN L. McKINLEV, A. M., L.L. I). JOHN J. O’GARA, A. M.. L.L. I). ROMO A LI) M. SOTO, A. B., L.L. B. It is however, with deep regret that we announce the loss of Mr. Stanislaus Riley, one of the finest teachers and ablest lawyers, the school has ever produced; a man of sterling qualities, beloved and admired by all who knew him. Mr. Riley, however, has been ably replaced by Mr. Soto, whose pleasing manner and enlightening instructions are fast winning for him the confidence of his classes. The Ignatian. through its staff, takes tin greatest pleasure in heartily congratulating those members of the Senior Class, who have attempted and successfully passed tin State la ir school xorcs 75 Bar Examination, and have been admitted to the legal practice before having completed the prescribed course at the College. May all their efforts receive the same success. Speaking as the official organ of the Stuednt Body we wish to express a word of deepest thanks and gratitude for the unexcelled instructions of those men upon whom our future careers depend, for with such a foundation, they cannot but be crowned with success. The good ship “Seniors. 11)21’’, is now nearing the end of its voyage. After four years of rough sailing the old boat will finally hit port sometime in the early part SENIORS of June. At the helm the watches are now being shared by Professors Breen, Soto, O Tiara and Knights, all of whom have keen eyes for navigating tin tempestuous seas of law. The crew originally consisted of more than fifty when it left port for its cruise about tin-seven seas of Property, Pleading, Torts, Contracts. Criminal Law, Evidence and Equity, but it was soon decimated by the setting in of that deadly disease, scurvy, in the shape ol the war, the ‘flu and the necessity for increased study, until at the present time it looks as if there will be but sixteen remaining on the good ship when she arrives home, provided, of course, no mishaps occur in the treacherous waters off Cape ‘Faculty Ex . However, nine worthy Seniors have already been admitted to practice, having satisfactorily passed the Bar Examinations. All nine have joined in serving notice on such minor outfits as Morrison, Dunne Brobeck, Sullivan. Sullivan Roach, et al., to quit practice, get into other occupations or else suffer the consequences. It is hard to tell whom we shall feel sorry for. At any rate, the legal profession is receiving something (also some things) of which it should be proud. Cliff Nolan, specialist in Kskimaux practice, being peculiarly adapted to their laws and language, having once been frozen out in a love match and another time been caught eating gum-drops,—Mike Riordan, expert in traffic laws, and incidentally well versed in Sinn Fein 76 THE I OSATI AS and American Constitutional Law.—'Taiwan Flynn, tin man with tin hesitating hip and flexible knee, adroitly proficient in interpreting the (’ode of Hammurabi and Russian War Taxes (also connoisseur of Russian Ballet Dancers),— Vincent William Gammon llallinan, the 20th Century’s legal prodigy, our own “quick, clean and easy practitioner ”,— Sylvan Leipsie. who already has made the mark in the game made famous by Blackstone. Coke, llallinan and Riccardi,— Terry Boyle of basketball fame, the man with the wondrous auburn locks, part time law-student, some time bowler and most of the time—well, you tell ’em Ohnimus, you’re the best little reader in our State Capitol.—these are but a few of tin Seniors who look forward to the day when Matt, Pete and Garrett will bow in lowly submission to them as attorneys and counsellors at law. The Moot Court sessions have indeed proved very instructive to all of us. It is there the embryo lawyer tears to pieces law that has been steadfast for centuries; it is there budding orators have their fling; it is there judges and renowned legal writers are shown in their true light before the multitude (that means those of us who are listening) : it is there that Frank Murphy tries to learn how to preside like a regular judge (he says that it ’s only a joke about that bench stuff, but there is a nice cushion seat up there); and it is there that Dar’l Daly pirouettes with his whizz-bang oratory, while “Justice’ Taheny calmly and deliberately marks off his incongruous, inconsistent, inhuman and oft times, insane arguments. What a truly great establishment is the Moot Court! But even after it is all over, we still cannot convince Ed McGlade that an automobile is an inherently dangerous article. Eddie, haven't you ever taken an excursion in a Lizzie I almost forgot to mention that we have with us now another married man to take the place left vacant by Jim Vizard.

Hut “there's many a slip ’twixt the cup and the lip , hence all are plugging assiduously lest the goal might not Ik reached. With the passing of this class go some prominent figures in affairs at St. Ignatius for some years back. How many remember Vin llallinan when he first came to old S. I.t Clad in knee breeches, a hole in his stocking, shoes that weren’t as polished as his of today, a flock of unkempt hair over which a cap tilted to one side, he took his place in the ranks of the second high class in the college yard. Someone said something as is wont on such occasions. A fight started. But when it was all over, all Vin had was another hole in his stocking and a dirty face, while his adversary carried a few things not quite as pleasant. Today he possesses the same aggressiveness, but all we hope for is that graduation day is not marked with a scene similar to th.it of the day of his entrance. Darrell Daly is another who spent quite a few years of outstanding service at St. Ignatius, having commenced in the sixth grade of the old grammar school. Terry Boyle is another of many years at the college whiie the writer begs to state that in point of years at the institution, he outnumbers all, having registered in the grammar department in But in going, the Senior class will not forget St. Ignatius; we will not forget its traditions; its faculty and its students of classes gone before and those of the present classes. We will remember Kr. Simpson, our prefect of studies, who has done all of us many a kind turn, and our appreciation of tin work of our law professors cannot be well enough expressed. We hope to meet them in the future—not in the class room, but in practice, where, it is our wish, we will be a credit to their teaching and an honor to our Alma Mater. ♦ LA � r SCHOOL SOTKS 79 Yea boy! We are Juniors. What's more we expect to bo Seniors—soon? That depends. Three-quarters of tin journey is almost completed. The “bunch lias JUNIOR changed somewhat since the beginning—old faces have gone and new ones have appeared—the prominent “lights have remained however, and mid the snap of fire-crackers we gather much information about the Indian tribes and the post-roads. In other words, we are on the third lap—they say we are on the down grade—yes. perhaps we are; but at least let us land easy. We would like to know where this down-grade will lead us. (I will continue this if the person with the miserable whistle would have a little respect for the rest of us.) All in ail we have a pretty versatile outfit—in odd moments when the study of corporations permits; some of “our boys have time to pursue other of the serious paths of life, lloratius Dibert is now delving in the real estate business across the bay in Alarm County. lie reports that business would be much better if he had something to sell. Justice Copestake. aside from the prohibition business which he takes care of, is also interested in real estate—his leases and releases are of interest to more than one member of the class. Maury Conklin, by his strict attention to Mr. McKinley, has made himself quite prominent in the drawing up of tin new Contsitution of Ireland. His name has been mentioned numerous times in connection with other prominent Irish patriots, both in local and international papers. The event that promises to outclass any effort that has been made by Mr. O'Donnell, our da. � s promoter, is the class banquet. Air. O’Donnell is running this affair on a Wr ( basis. He assures us it will be a great success and every member of the class can get in on the ground floor, if he acts quickly. Aside from our continued grind at studies and the pvro-toehnical displays on Friday nights, the year promises to round out very well and perhaps leave us in the coveted position—Seniors. 80 r a; kssatias The second milestone on the rocky road to our legal prominence, looms threateningly in the distance. Already do we behold the grinning faces of our be-SOPHOMORES loved “profs’ , munching law fee simples, and gleefully chanting the solemn dirge from the “Rule in Shelly’s Case”. We see them lined in graceful array on this massive monument of time, eagerly awaiting the first opportunity to hurl weighty questions at their unsuspecting pupils. Aye verily! Tis but a repetition of the ancient “Slaughter of the Innocents”. For once Hill Sweigert will be at a loss for words; Ed Fitzpatrick will quit kicking the rungs out of the chair and the rest of the notables (Joe Harry, please take notice) will pay strict attention to the balmy phrases of Mr. Soto. No longer will “Ishi” Mareovich be gently wafted to the pleas ant land of dreams by the sweet tune of “Duke” Ilalpin's musical gum-chewing. Hut alas! as Leon (’astel, our class orator, said to bis hopeful debaters, “your ladder to success is not a bed of roses”. Hut in this time of seriousness and deliberation, let us turn for a moment from the ridiculous to the sublime and consider our futures. Already can we picture to ourselves “Holo” Gonzales, Aguinaldo’s protege, a few years hence, as one of the most brilliant legal lights of his age, eloquently pleading before our impassive Judge Moura, earnestly beseeching him to forbid the ungentlemanly extortion of a few hundred pounds of flesh from the underfed carcass of “Fisherman” Varni. We do admit that Varni's chances for acquittal would iie pretty fair, provided one of bis classmates were on the jury. Imagine Hob White in a fit of passion. Hob would be about as much at home in a frenzy as a duck in the middle of the Sahara Desert. If we compare the eager countenance of our incorrigible “question asker” Hriare with that same map of last year, we notice that it has lost a certain amount of its personality. LA U SCHOOL NOTES 81 We credit this change was due to the sudden Fall in the price of soup strainers. Thus the prize class of St. Ignatius Law School closes its accounts for the fiscal year and bids all a tearful and heartrending “adios , until it meets again. Behold ye seniors, as ye pursue the road of knowledge and of law. glance back and see the young in spirit if not in age who are so eagerly trying to reach the FRESHMAN goal you have already succeeded in attaining. Are not we the class of 24, capable of upholding St. Ignatius in athletics, scholarship and in society for the next three years as you have in the past? Seniors let me introduce tin celebrities of the class: “Imp Bagley, the superman of the Freshman class, who struck fear into the heart of many “cage net stars ’, ought to be our shining light next year. Jim O’Sullivan, who decorated the gym floor in the early season, gives promise of being a varsity man next year. Warwick, the Hank of Italy forward, was also out for practice at the opening of the season, but found playing with two teams and going to school too strenuous. We hope to see him don the Red and Blue next season. Our class is honored by the presence of Being. Robinson. Smith and Sapper, whose golden words were ever the inspiration of our Real Property ('lass, and the target of Prof. Parry's never-ending questions. Morris Swim, the leader of his colony of bad debt chasers, seems to be quite an important person around the Superior Court. McGrath, Medows, and Ed. Kelley, the wit and humor of the class also “shake a mean hoof at any kind of a social function. If you don't believe me invite them out. With such an array of wisdom and beauty we, the lowly yet highly intelligent “fresides hope to conclude our Law course without losing any of our present class of thirty. UNIVERSITY ORATORICAL CONTEST Eloquent was the oratory, and close the competition which characterized the annual Oratorical Contest of Saint Ignatius University. The first speaker.

George l)e ine. 23, delivered an impressive eulogy of the late Terence Mc-Swiney in his “Prince of Patriots . W.

The second annual debate between Stanford I’niversity USlVEh'HlTY NOTES 83 and St. Ignatius University. was held on tin evening of Wednesday, April 20th. STANFORD- Last year both debating teams of St ST. IGNATIUS Ignatius triumphed over the Cardinal de- DEBATE haters; it is hoped by all loyal Ignatians that the Red and Blue will always triumph over her opponents, not only in athletics, but also in literary pursuits. The question debated upon this year was: Resolved: That the United States is justified in maintaining the present system of Panama Canal Tolls. The home team of St. Ignatius composed of Messrs. William T. Sweigert. Horace A. Dibert, and Chester Ohlandt, upheld the affirmative side of the question, while Stanford, upholding the negative sid« . was represented by Messrs. Martin I)e Vreis, Edwin Baum, and J. T. McMenamin. Two nights later another Ignatian team upholding the negative side, traveled to Stanford to meet Stanford in her auditorium. This Ignatian team was composed of Messrs. Edward I. Fitzpatrick, Nicholas B. Maroevich, and Martin IT. O’Brien, while, on the other hand, Stanford was represented bv Messrs. Lowell Gerson, M. R.

The annual competitive debate was held on the evening of Wednesday, April 27th. The question of the debate was. Resolved: That the President of the Hinted States should Ik elected by the direct vote of the people. The negative side of the question was upheld by J. Corbett, E. Keil and K. Kelly.

Cnder the able tutelage of Coach Joe Ryan the athletes commenced to work out rather early in the season and as a result fairly smothered various army, navy and club learns in the practice games. As usual, the squad looked forward with great eagerness to the opening of the California-Nevada League and were confident that they would win high honors. Xor were their hopes in vain as they finished close to the top of the league. The team was unable to capture the championship this year due, perhaps, to the fact that they were trained too fine and were a trifle stale at the opening of the league. The boys got off to a poor start, dropping the first two league games, in which injuries and other unavoidable incidents played an important part. But smarting under the sting of these two defeats and imbued with the old St. Ignatius fighting spirit, the team rallied, recovered its old time pep and form and handed quite a few decisive defeats and surprises to the remaining teams, that had regarded the Tgnatians as easy marks. The veterans who reported and made the team were Captain Terry Boyle, Larrecou, Cronin, Lauterwasser, “Aug-gie ’Johnsen, Barry, and Sweitzer. Among the new comers were included “Ishi” Maroevich, “Imp ’ Begley, Marty O’Brien and O’Xeil.

Although the Blue and Gold warriors won hy a comfortable margin, the score fails to indicate the closeness of the hat-tie. Had the Ignatians been fortunate enough to ring a few baskets in the last few minutes of play, they would have altered the outcome of the encounter and perhaps would have emerged victors. But that night the fates surely were against us, for shot after shot of the Ignatians would spin around the ring in a tantalizing manner only to fail to drop through the basket. However the warriors of good old S. I. fought every minute of the game and are to he congratulated for their splendid showing, for a defeat administered hv the Bruin quintet which later proved to he the best of the Pacific Coast, is surely no disgrace. The game started with a hang and kept the overflowing bleachers in an uproar until the final whistle was sounded. California took the lead within the first few minutes of play and although hard pressed at times managed to hold it until the end. At half time the Berkeley Boys were leading, 19-11. Svmes and Kggleston were the outstanding stars for the Bruins, while Milt Lauterwasser and ('apt. Boyle played a wonderful game for the Ignatians. St. Ignatius 17; Santa Clara 16 With the defeat ar the hands of California fresh in its memory, the St. Ignatius Quintet traveled down to Santa Clara, where they participated in the first contest of the three game series between tin two Jesuit Cniversities. This game proved to he a real thriller and resulted in a victory for the Ignatians by the narrow margin of one point. During the entire encounter the score was kept down hy Ihe clever work of the guards who broke up play after play. The first half ended in a tie. 10-10. 92 TJJE ION ATI AN The second period started with a rush and was extremely last and exciting. Cp to the last few moments of play, the Santa Clara lads were leading by one point. Then, to the surprise of everyone, including himself. Larrecou, the dashing guard, rang a basket from the middle of the court, thus putting the game on ice. “Imp Begley and Mel Cronin starred for the Jgnatians with their fancy shooting, while Fowler and Needles did most of the scoring for Santa Clara. St. Ignatius 12; Nevada 22 On January 29, the Nevada five arrived in San Francisco to play St. Ignatius. Cndaunted by the stormy evening a large crowd assembled to witness what was expected to be one of the best games of the season. But, alas, much to the disappointment and disgust of the spectators and of the competing teams, Mr. Harris, the referee, furnished an unpleasant surprise in the form of an exhibition of technical refereeing. Harris insisted on calling foul after foul, so that towards the end of the game the players moved about slowly and cautiously, for fear of rubbing elbows with one another. The score at half time was 7-6, in favor of the Nevada boys, who made all their points on fouls. The escond half dragged along slower than the first, being continually halted by the whistle of Referee Harris, who was ever prone to display his technical knowledge of basketball. Nevertheless, the Sagebrushers were more successful this half, as they made five field goals and the same number of free shots. During the whole game no less than 25 fouls were called on the St. Ignatius players, while 10 were charged up against the Nevada lads. The game was featured by the playing of the Ignatian Captain. 'Perry Boyle and by Bradshaw of Nevada. St. Ignatius 18; Stanford 31 On February 2, the Stanford quintet journeyed up to St. Ignatius to engage in a game which was not scheduled in the California-Nevada League. Notwithstanding the wonderful battle we put up against the fast Cardinal five, we were 145 LB. BASKETBALL TEAM. CHAMPIONS OF S. F. A. L. Standing: Clancy. Nelson. Sullivan, Morrissey Kneeling: Olson.

The team is to he commended for their wonderful showing and especially for their fine fighting spirit. No disputes, thanks to the efficiency of Referee Glenn, marred this contest. The game was fast throughout and was featured hy the playing of Sweitzer and Larrecou for the Igna-tians and hy Rightcr of Stanford, who awed the spectators hy his fancy shots. St. Ignatius 38; Santa Clara 17 The second and deciding game of the series between St. Ignatius and Santa Clara resulted in an overwhelming victory for the Ignatians. At the outset it looked gloomy for our lads for Santa Clara piled up five points before we knew what happened. However, we soon warmed up to the occasion and from then on it was only a question of how large the score would he. The squad gave a great exhibition of teamwork, perfect passing and marvelous shooting. At half time the score was 22-15 in our favor.. In the second half Johnson and Cronin continued to drop the hall in the basket with amazing regularity, while Larrecou and (’apt. Terry Hoyle kept breaking up every play that Santa Clara endeavored to execute. In virtue of their decisive victory St. Ignatius reigns supreme in basketball over her sister college. St. Ignatius 34; College of Pacific 30 On February 12, the squad went down to San Jose to meet the College of the Pacific on their court. Cnfortun-atoly for the College of the Pacific, which was an exceptionally strong team, our warriors were in first class condition and flushed with their recent victory over Santa Clara. The game was a battle from the start and both teams fought desperately throughout the entire fracas. The first half found St. Ignatius leading, 10-8. The battle grew more exciting in the second half and with but five more minutes to play the score was deadlocked, ATHLETIC SOT EE 95 20-20. Then St. Ignatius, through the combined efforts of Johnson, Xweitzer and Cronin, forged into the lead, scoring seven baskets in quick succession. St. Ignatius 41; St. Mary 38 The final game of tin season was with St. .Mary's College and was the fastest and most exciting game ever staged on the local court since the famous contest with Los Angeles iast season. Full of pep and determination each team was confident of victory. As soon as the game started one fast play after another was executed by both teams bringing tin excited and cheering crowd to its feet on numerous occasions. During the first half the Oakland lads seemed to have the edge on the argument, for they led by a score of 22-19. When the tussle was resumed the lads displayed the same fight and spirit that characterized the first half. The score see-sawed. The crowd grew hoarse. In the last few minutes, with St. Mary’s leading, 31-34, “Speed” Cronin came dashing down the court to take a shot at the basket. The SI. Mary’s guard grabbed his arm to prevent the basket, but. luckily for us he stopped Mel just enough, for the ball dropped gracefully in the basket and St. Ingatius was awarded two free shots for the foul. “Angie” Johnscn, who was shooting in excellent form this game, managed to drop one in. thus making the score 37-37. Hut another surprise was in stoic for us, for immediately Larrccou got the ball from the center and awed the excited throng by dropping the ball in the basket, thus breaking up the game. Forthwith the Ignatians made another goal just for good measure. The superb guarding of (‘apt. Terry Hoyle and the shooting of Angie Johnscn and Mel Cronin were tin outstanding features of the contest. John C. Hughes ’21. 96 THE H XAT AX High School Athletics FOOTBALL The first consideration that interested Mr. Sullivan. S. A.y Athletic Moderator, and a host of veteran athletes upon the reopening of school in September, was the resumption of football activities in the high school. A meeting was held a week or so after our return, and by the unanimous vote of all those interested in the American game—it was decided to have a ‘‘prep team—that is, an eleven composed both of high school and college men. The reason for tins decision was because neither of the two institutions possessed all the necessary requirements to turn out a representative eleven. It was thought that a combination of the two would solve the difficulty. Our athletic moderator generously broke the age-old tradition of the high school when he promised blocks to the regular squad, should they win a majority of their scheduled games. Encouraged by a brief year's experience with the elusive pig-skin, and animated with the hope of bringing glory to iheir Alma Mater, our ambitious warriors turned out in such crowds for practice that Coach Wannan with difficulty found place for all in the spacious Stadium. However, with a little gruelling skill practice and a hard two weeks workout, the squad was cut to accomodate about twenty of the more ferocious element. Captain Marocvich ably assisted Warman in coaching tiie raw material in the art of tackling the flying spectre and strangling the elusive fumble. The following were rewarded for their ability and native instinct by a regular berth on the “prep eleven.: ()'Connell, Meany, McCormick, Clancy, Rennie, Turner and Harrison alternating—Kelly. In the back-field, Capt. Marocvich. O'Brien, llyan, Hannon. The squad was well fortified in the “sub department, and the following displayed real ability when called upon: men school athletics 97 DeLucchi, Mackall. Hughes, Popes, McDonald, Quinlan, Prendergast. The team, as a whole, was a well balanced one—good in sizing up plays and offering interference perhaps better in the forward passing department and unbeatable in its fast offensive tactics. A long schedule was drawn up, but, unfortunately, unseen developments arose—and confined our playing to two games. Naturally we were only credited with two victories. In the first tilt of the season we were opposed by the fast Alameda High eleven, at Lincoln Park, Alameda. After a fast, smashing game, accompanied by an extra amount of rough play and a few knockouts, our hopefuls emerged from the scattered dust—the victors—by a Id to 7 score. For three quarters our mole-skin warriors played the Alamedans off their feet, and but for three or four costly fumbles under tin shadow of our opponents’ goal posts—the score would have been much larger. The feature of the contest came in the first minute of the game when our fellows—on three plays—carried the pig-skin the whole length of the field for the first touchdown of the season. Our next and last game, with Potter High, resulted in an overwhelming victory for us. Potter was forced to take the short end of a df -7 score. In tin first quarter the Potter lads played football—but when our powerful offensive came into action—they were forced to watch the oroceedings. If the game was one-sided, it was also spectacular. Two long sixty yard runs by Ryan and O'Brien, and a brilliant do yard drop kick by (’apt. Maroevich displayed the vast superiority of the Ignatian eleven. 130 LB. BASKETBALL TEAM. CHAMPIONS OF S. F. A. I Standing: Gllly, Mackin, Kirby. Quinlan Kneeling: Gaffney ;Capt.), Cunningham. McKinnon Sitting Lane. Keith man school athletics 99 Basketball The most successful basketball season St. Ignatius ever had, has just slipped by into history. And with its passage a tradition has been left for future court stars to glance at and strive to emulate. For the first time since athletics were introduced into the high school, two S. F. A. L. championships were captured, when our Red and Blue athletes decisively outclassed all outside competition in basketball. In fact, our star quintets won on their ability alone— the whole Senior Tournament of the S. F. A. L. for the 1921 season—a feat which has never been accomplished before by any local high school. Although but two teams were entered in the 120 and 145 lb. division, St. Ignatius claimed the unlimited championship of the city by defeating Lowell high—the league winners. Mr. Sullivan. S. J., Athletic Moderator of the high school, is to be congratulated on the wonderful and competent manner in which he handled the winning teams. The llO's were the only S. I. entry in the Junior S. F. A. L.. while the champion 120 and 145 quintets were entered in the Senior Event. The 110’s had a very successful season, both outshooting and outplaying every team they met. The score book credits them with sixteen consecutive victories, and one defeat. Although hampered by excessive weight, they fought consistently throughout the league, winning four out of a five game schedule. Lick, Humboldt, Lowell and Sacred Heart were one by one forced to lower their colors in recognition of the Red and Blue. After a clean sweep in the Division championship, they met “Poly ” high in the finals. The first stanza ended in a 7 to 7 tie, after which the Ignatians found difficulty in loeat- 100 7 HE Ki. A TIAS « mg tin basket, and experiencing a good deal of bad luck were forced to field the lead to the Red and Black quintet, and finally the championship. The score was 23-11. Circle blocks were awarded to Wallis, Laughlin, Doherty. Meyer. McAuliffe, Corbett, O’Gara, McGrorey and Sullivan. Long before the Senior Tournament rolled around, our crack 130-pounders were figured to have a 4’walkaway in the League. The chief topic of discussion was the size of the scores they would roll up. There was no possibility of losing. The 130 s, led by Captain Gaffney, more than fulfilled expectations—they set up another record which has not been equalled before in the records of basketball at S. I.—that of being credited with twenty consecutive victories. They never tasted defeat during the entire season. Aside from subduing a number of local 145 quintets, they demonstrated their real class and ability by defeating the St. Joseph’s Athletic Club—P. A. A. 120 Champions—and the crack Agnetian 30's—runners-up in the State basketball finals. Hence, when the League reopened, our 130’s found little close competition, and went through the Tournament with a clean slate of six victories. Twice, however, they were pressed. Lowell, by a five man defensive, thought to off-set the team work of the Igna-tians—but, after a hopeless 40-minute struggle, their efforts proved futile. The score was 27-15, in our favor. Lick— our first victim, was snowed under by a 42-13 count. In their next game the 30’s administered a 40-13 beating to Commerce'—and the week later overwhelmed both Humboldt and Mission; the former 61-5; the latter 52-16. The 30's played Poly in the last game of the League schedule for the championship. Poly had high hopes and started in by challenging our weight. The game was close during the first half, but our star combination settled down in the second spasm and rolled up i man school a thletics 101 enough points for an easy win. Score, .‘12-17. As a result the 130 11 . S. F. A. L. ”s championship was ours! Although we issued a challenge to San Mateo to play for tlie championship of Northern California, it went unheeded —and according to the nature of things—we annexed another title. St. Ignatius 1 ‘10 lb. team—the High School Champs of Northern California. We defy any challenge. Big S. I. II. Blocks were awarded to ('apt. Gaffney, Lane. Cunningham, Mackin, Kirby, Gill.v, Keith, P. Olson, McKinnon and Quinlan. Gaffney, Lane, Keith and Kirby were the real stars of the team and were responsible for its wonderful showing. The 145 pounders did not have any “great expectations ”. Little was known of their ability at the beginning. However, as a matter of fact, they succeeded in winning the city championship easier than the . 10 s—if such a thing can be said. The addition of Clancy and Morrissey materially strengthened our welterweights and before the S. F. A. L. opened, they were conceded the silver medals without a murmur. McCormick was chosen to captain the champions. Our 45 s completed their pre-season games by defeating the three best teams in the unlimited division by comfortable margins. Lowell and Poly were easy—but the original Commerce team furnished a stiff argument. The records credit them with seventeen victories and three defeats. With their regular line-up, our champs, never once suffered defeat the hands of a 145 aggregation. In their first League encounter, our Red and Blue lms-keteers hung up an S. F. A. L. record by defeating Mission G7 to 1. It was first degree murder, and at that we were deprived of four minutes playing time. Cogswell caught the 45’s on an off-day, and battled them up to the last ten minutes to a 14-14 deadlock. But we finally got started and ended the fracas by winning. 28-14. In rapid succession we overwhelmed Lowell—53-11. and Commerce—51-20. In our last game with Poly High, although Kelly could not make 102 THE IGNAT IAN weight and Clancy was laid up, we easily outpointed the Sunseters by a 42-20 score. The S. F. A. L. was ended. After winning six consecutive games, our 45 s had lived up to predictions, by winning the city championship. We issued challenges, both to Lowell—the unlimited “champs”, and Fremont, to play for the northern state title. They remained unanswered. Since we had defeated Lowell and they refused to play, we naturally claimed the unlimited championship of the city, and with as much right as the Red and White institution—the high school 145 championship of Northern California. So our 45’s won three titles—only one of which can be disputed. Blocks were awarded to Morrissey, Cullinan, Hamilton. McCormick, Kelly, Nelson, Clancy, Olson, Popes and Sullivan. Influenced by Mr. Sullivan’s generosity, the Student Body has presented gold basket balls to all the players on the two championship teams. Summarizing it all, our three teams won together 52 out of 57 court games during the season passed—and two city championships—besides laying a just claim to two northern state titles. It surely has been the most successful season St. Ignatius ever had. Baseball With at least a month’s practice behind them, our baseball stars are displaying rare form and ability in the national pastime. The team captained by Jeff Gaffney, will make a strong and determined bid for the S. F. A. L. honors. In fact, according to present reports “its all over but the shouting' . Never have prospects looked so encouraging as in the present season, and Mr. Sullivan, S. J., Athletic Moderator, is confident that our pastimers will make their presence felt. The infield has been greatly improved over last year. 110 LB. BASKETBALL TEAM Standing: McGrorey, McAuliffe. Corbett Kneeling; O'Gara. Utughlin. Sullivan Sitting; Wallis � Capt.), Doherty 100 LB.

Dave Clancy will canvass the short patch. This combination completes practically an air-tight inner defense, and providing the “breaks” are evenly distributed—they will cut off many a hit and bring home many a victory. The outer defense is much stronger than usual. With Kell stationed in left and ('apt. Gaffney in center, few flies will get by to do any damage. Ghirardelli, Olson, Meany. Loughery and a host of others are fighting it out for the right field position. Kelly and Ryan will form the regular battery. Formerly an infielder, Kelly has been pitching splendid ball during his brief career and looks better than most of the other high school twirlers, MeSweenev, Kell, and McGrorey, all mounds-men of ability and experience, are ready to relieve him at any moment. A good defensive and offensive' team and strengthened by splendid pitching, the S. I. nine has more than an even chance to pilfer the S. F. A. L. pennant, in the approaching tournament. Interclass Basketball Due probably to the precedent set by the Juniors for the last three years, the present class of 22 won the annual basket championship and the Austin T. Howard Trophy. The supremacy was settled in their favor when the Juniors succeeded in snatching an eleventh hour victory from tiie Seniors—although previously considered rank short enders. The final score was 21-17. The Seniors showed a poor brand of basketball, but gave promise of being whirlwinds along argumentative lines. The real features of the contest was the steady, consistent playing of the third year men. The Sophs were downed by the Freshmen—after a hard fought football game—by a final 11-0 rally. Numerals were awarded to the winners. man school athletics 105 Interclass Baseball Owing to the lateness of tin season and tin Fact that the interclass would interfere with the practice of the high school nine, only two games were run oil to decide tin annual championship. The Seniors, by virtue of a 14 to 1 win over the lowly Freshmen—played the third year men for the coveted baseball laurels. Smarting under the defeat handed in the basketball finals, the “Graduates retaliated by putting over a 4 to '1 victory on the Juniors. Kelly pitched good ball for the winners. McSweeney, who opposed him, lost the contest through unsteadiness. The score is a good criterion of the game. Snappy fielding and timely hitting featured. Interclass Track President’s Day—May 6—has been set aside for the ln-terclass Track Meet. Since the Ignatian goes to press before the results will be known, we can only offer a little “dope on the probable outcome. A good deal of class and competition is expected in the Senior Meet when the Juniors and Seniors clash on the cinder path. In past years the third year men have usually managed to come out ahead in the figuring—but it is doubtful if they can repeat. Prospects look exceedingly bright for the Graduates. With Ryan. O'Gara, Cunningham. Dane, Culiinan. Quinlan, Devine, all point men—the 4th year scholars seem to have an unbeatable aggregation. Gaffney is good for at least ten points for the Juniors, while Hamilton. Sullivan, Morrissey, Theis, Maekin, and a few’ others will help to augment the total to a winning score. The Junior Meet will probably be well taken care of by the Sophs—although the Freshman are liable to slip over a surprise and win their coveted numerals. George F. McCormick.
