In acknowledgment of their constant kindness and generosity to us, we, the three thousand students of Xavier University, dedicate this 1954 MUSKETEER to all the members of the Society of Iesus . . . who have served at Xavier University -because they have formed a University of which we can be justly proud. . . . who are serving at Xavier University -because they have maintained and extended Xavier's posi- tion among the many institutions of higher learning. . . . who wi11 serve at Xavier University -because of what they will do to maintain and build the Xavier tradition, especially in the lecture hall and in the classroom. We take this opportunity to thank them, and ask Iesus Christ through Mary to bestow His choicest blessings upon each and every one of them. Saint Francis Xavier, early priest of the Society of Iesus, holds aloft the cross as if in blessing on Xavier University. This statue of Xavier, which stands on O'Brien Terrace, is the gift of the Seniors of 1951, 1952, and 1955. Page 7 Tribute Page cY ,Why wi- w 53 if -mv.. ah: .,.A..,i .W an .

Waldvogel, alumnus of Xavier and out- standing Catholic layman in the community. Mr. Waldvogel has given many of his most important years to the citizens of Cincinnati, serving nine consecutive terms in City Council and three terms as State Senator. The MUSKETEER salutes Mr. Waldvogel. This Tribute was in print before the untimely death of Mayor YWaldvogel on May' 7, 1954. The MUSKETEER had notified him in February that it wished to honor him, and had received a letter of appreciation from him. May he rest in peace. 1 Requiescant in Pace Rev. Thomas McCourt, SJ., member of the Xavier University faculty since 1956, died on February 22, 1954. Father McCourt, a brilliant professor of Spanish and French, was beloved by REV. THOMAS MCCOURT, S.I. Mr. Carl D. Groat, editor of the Cincinnati Post and member of the Xavier University Board of Lay Advisors, died during 1955. Mr. Groat was prominent in journalism and in numerous civic activities. his students and his colleagues. MR. CARL D. GrzoA'r oseph L. Isselstein, sophomore from Reynolds- burg, Ohio was killed in a tragic automobile accident in November. Ioe, a fine friend, an active student, and a real Catholic gentleman, will long be remembered by hisjfriends and teachers at Xavier. Ralph A. Soldati, Cincinnati junior, was killed when a car in which he was riding struck a railroad abutment. A popular pre-med stu- dent, Ralph made the Dean's list every semester at Xavier. His memory will be cherished by all his associates. Page 9 1, v 54 7 X , x r v K, uf WF' PN: x NR W f xi , Q xx , 'Kg . , K W-ii 'U se 3... mix gg SLN 1' may f' xx-. u N xi 's nm NN.

Mary5i1v the functions of Xavier University the blessings of Almighty God, the Father,'t'1TFSo.n.,,and the Holy Spirit. Mary gives to human hands the power and the ability to function wisely in the service of God. At Xavier, be it ' c -ninistration, Faculty, or Undergraduate activity, she confers greatness O1 - ery effort. She makes it possible for the men of Xavier to be Catho 1 -- en, to give all to Christ, to ask nothing in return. May Mary, in this v -- dedicated to her, grant that the 1954 MUSKETEER portray the tru sto of Xavier during 1955-1954. Only with her help and His grace c - the task ahead be done.

These hands have worked long and prayed hard so that Xavier would become well known for its scholastic attainment, genuinely admired for its cultural interests, and truly effective in its religious influence. Xavier today-with its Logan Hall, its Albers Hall, its Brockman Hall, and its older buildings-is far more advanced than the founders ot the Athenaeum more than a century ago could have foreseen in their most imaginative moments. Mainly through the efforts of its past administrators Xavier is what it is today. May these hands, still guided by the Hands of the Saviour and His Mother, continue to build this splendid institution, ever to the greater Glory of God.

The Seniors of 1954 carry their hard earned diplomas and the cap symbolic of a graduate. These men and,women- Xaverians all-are going forth into a new element, some to the Army, some to further studies, some to work, but all to begin their trials as citizens of the world. They will leave the homes whose shelter they have become attached to, and will venture forth into an unprotecting world. May these men and women, as they move into their public life, carry with them Xavier ideals. May they forever be second Christs, willing to suffer for truth and virtue. May they build their lives on the basis which has been given them at Xavier, so that their whole generation shouts the greater glory of God. xi!

October 17 saw an end zone section of UC's Nippert Stadium-packed with Musketeers- fulminate and thunder with every attack the quarterback mustered. In the narrow defeat there was much of which to be proud. The events of the Homecoming Week-end, under the direction of Robert Murray, featured highly competitive affairs: the game with Iohn Carroll, the float parade, the crowning of Queen Cookie Koch, and the dance-attended by nearly one thousand people. In November other members of Xavier's faculty stepped into the limelight. Rev. Ioseph Peters, SJ., announced his findings concerning induced seizure in salamanders and its modifica- tion by anti-convulsive drugs to the Encephalo- graphers Association in St. Louis.

Underclassmen of Xavier University take down notes, solve problems, and work experiments all with an eye to the future when they will be the mainstays of their communities. They who were so recently but boys of high school age, now realize that they have a more important mission in life than serving themselves. Iuniors, sophomores, and freshmen, these Xavier men are learning to be Catholic Men-to serve, not be served 3 to teach, not be taught 3 to live, not merely exist. May the ideals which Xavier University instills in all of them remain with them forever. May each go through life with Christ as a Brother and the Saints as friends. May each always bring greater glory to God. fyw f 3 'I MMM Q LOGAN HALL i Page 67 Junior Class Of icers XWIILLIAM SWEENEY IAMES TULLY PETER MCCARTI'IY ROBERT Moxzms Pl'e.r1'dcnl V 1'L'6-Pl'6Il'l't16 nl Serrelaly Trernrurcr ophomore Class Officers H I AI.I3I:IzT CASH TIIONIAS XVALSH XVILLIAM HOCTER IoI-IN C:XRROl.L Pl'C.O'l.d6Ilf l',l.l'C-1Jl'L'J'I.liEl1f Secrelaly Tl'CHIl'Ill'fl' Freshman Class Officers TIMOTHY GARIIY THOMAS HEPIENXAN FLCRIAN SOKOLOXVSKI DANIEL SHANNON lJl'CJ'l,dCI'1l Vice-P1-c.v'z'1ie11l Secrelarjy T rca.rIu'e1' Page 68 Continued from Page 55 Saint Iohn Chrysostom was the subject of a program presented by Dr. Paul Harkins, along with Rev.

A Xavier corpsman opens the slide of an empty rifle to show the world that, he, a Catholic man, desires an honorable peace. The Reserve Ofhcers Training Corps exists so that if a national danger arises, the United States will be ready. Not to prepare a force for aggression, but to dissuade the potential enemy from hostilities is its aim. Xavier men leave the Department of Military Science with a new View of citizen- ship and with a new set of values by which to judge their government. May God through Mary, Queen of Peace, grant that His Peace be always with the world. May a peaceful world lead, in turn, to His greater glory. nv ff: g 5: F, we T 5 'M Hr U U U je .'af'Ill ' 130321. , Q p iw H ll E' El qi fn 1 ILINI li :Ln irr'4pin'lElii,E5,, it- ,sf ,H if Hill gi VH M 4 Ill THE A RM ORY i i i The ROTC staff: Spelz, Meyer, Col.

Early in the fall of 1955 steps were taken to make it the best. The scholastic program was strengthened and rules of military -dress and courtesy were rigidly enforced. For purposes of drill the seven hundred and fifteen cadets were divided into five battalions. These were commanded by Cadet Lt. Cols. Page 86' Spelz, Meyer, Weber, Fitzpatrick and Fishburn. The entire regiment was under the command of Cadet Col. Roger Lindemann. One of the extracurricular activities of the military is the Pershing Rifles. This national Honor Society for ROTC students is named after General Iohn Pershing, hero of World War I. Xavier's Pershing Rifles, Company G of the First Regiment, is the showpiece of the Military Department, marching in various civic parades and University functions, and serving as an honor guard of Archbishop Karl Alter. Main extracurricular activity for the advanced students in Military Science is the Xavier Order of Military Merit. Their principal activity is to arrange the annual Military Ball. In March the XOMM gave a tea at which candidates for Honorary Cadet Colonel were selected. From them the corps elected Miss Lois Hughes as Honorary Cadet Colonel. She was installed at the fifteenth annual Military Ball on April 25, at Castle Farm, and will preside at various ROTC functions during the coming year. gt. Smith, Gilligan, Sgt.

Xavier men raise their cups amid the clash and clatter of the University's social whirl, to toast their fellowmen, by repeating Xavier's motto: One for All and All for Une. Xaverians are a united group, willing to work for the good of the whole. Be it in the Student Council, in the Sodality, or in football, Xavier men act together. May this unity, so active now, last forever among Xavier men. May it spread and infect the whole world for Christ. May God be pleased with all the activities of Xavier University, and may they continue to be to His greater glory.

Early in April their efforts were rewarded. The system was installed, and students thereafter were able to enjoy music during their meals. The Council also added to the furnishings of the President's Lounge, which it had set up for the dorm students' use the previous year. Draperies were hung, and additional furniture and recreational devices were installed. Before the Xavier-University of Cincinnati game last fall the Council sponsored a pep rally, and during the second semester it presented moving pictures and organized parties for the men away from home. p Leo Grahek served as president of the Dor- mitory Council.

During '55-'54 Xavier's chapter of the National Federation of Catholic College Students enjoyed one of its most active and important seasons. Xavier's Iohn Moorman served as assistant chairman of the National Congress held in Cin- cinnati during the last week of August. Larry Blank, past forensics chairman, was chosen to prepare the orientation material for the region. In May, Xavier played host to the Regional Council meeting. Senior delegate Al Cordes and junior delegate John Grinstead represented Xavier at conventions and workshops held at Dayton in November and at Louisville in March. Because 1954 was designated by the Pope as Marian Year, the NFCCS spent much time pro- moting projects aimed toward furthering interest and devotion to the Blessed Virgin. At work- shops and conventions the significance of Marian Year was an important part of the discussion. Xavier is the center of the Forensics Com- mission of the O-K region. Under the direction of Iohn Grupenhoff, debate tournaments were held in Cincinnati, in Columbus, and in Louis- ville. The Commission also sponsored special classes in Parliamentary Law at Our Lady of Cincinnati College. At the Louisville conven- tion, regional delegates elected Grupenhoff first vice-president. Robert Manley succeeded him as Regional Forensics Chairman. Page 100 The NFCCS is, of itself, not to be a definite organization. It works in conjunction with other organizations to further Christian principles and to promote Catholic unity on campus and ultimately throughout the world. Because of the nature of the various activities undertaken by the Xavier Chapter, most of its work was with the Sodality and the Poland Debating Society. To serve as delegates for '54-'55 were Moorman and Grinstead. Faculty advisor was Rev. Iohn Wenzel, S.I. The Ohio-Kentucky Region of the National Federation of Catholic College Students was host to the whole Federation in August, 1953. Here the O-K Region waits for a plenary session to begin. Accounting Club Students majoring in accounting and others interested in what that subject has to offer form the Xavier Accounting Society. During '55-'54 the Society heard many men eminent in the accounting world. These included Mr. Frederick A. Powers, president of the Cincinnati Chapter of the Ohio Society of Certified Public Accountants, and partner of William H. Mers and Company, Mr. F. C. Dennis, partner of Lybrand, Ross Brothers, and Montgomery, Mr. Harry Sonkin, partner of Alexander Grant and Company, Mr. Cletus Elsen, president of the Cincinnati Chapter of the National Association of Cost Accountants, and production control manager of E. Kahn's Sons, Mr. Walter A. Smith, comptroller, Avco Manu- facturing Corporation, Mr. Iames R. Favret, member of the Ohio State Board of Accountancy, and partner of Rouse, Favret and Company, and Mr. Walter W. Peters, partner of Ernst and Ernst. Society members met at a dinner in February with accounting students from the University of Cincinnati and Miami University. Their annual dinner was held in April. Officers were Patrick Driscoll, president, John Reis, vice-president, Michael Longi, secretary, and Patrick Dawson, treasurer. Mr. George Selzer served as faculty advisor.

Economics Club At its monthly meetings, the Economics Club brought together students with an interest in this subject, and gave them a chance to gain additional knowledge of the policies and theories which they were studying in class. The Club inaugurated a policy this year whereby first class membership was made more selective and entailed tutorial work in research writing. Activities of the Club included a fall trip to the Hess and Eisenhardt Manufacturing Com- pany, a spring trip to the Ford Motor Company Automatic Transmission Plant, and a spring picnic. Officers of the Club were William Trischler, president 5 Ron Discepoli, vice-presidentg Iames Shanahan, secretary-treasurer, Guy Chandler, program director g and Iohn Byrne, director of publicity.

The Club met monthly to hear lectures and to hold informal discussions on timely subjects. One of the high points of the year for the Club was a lecture on alcoholism by Mr. Arthur Hinchcliff, well known commentator on the psychological aspects of the problem. Other activities of the Club during '55-'54 included tours of the Longview State Hospital and the Boys Training School in Glendale, and an interesting visit to the Cincinnati Police Department Headquarters. Thomas Madden headed the Club. Mr. Glen La Grange acted as faculty advisor. Page 103 F Top row: Metz, Krach, Sodd, Voile, Schwieterman, YVerner.

Biology Club The Biology Club, reorganized during 1955, changed its program of activities very greatly. Instead of having a completely social calendar, the Club scheduled speakers who were to give members an idea of what the life of a medical doctor includes and what facts they should look for in choosing a field of medical specialization. Speakers were prominent in their fields. Dr. Ioseph Evans, noted Cincinnati brain surgeon and neurologist, spoke in November on the whys and wherefores of being a doctor. Dr. Francis Forster, Director of the Department of Neu- rology at the Georgetown University School of Medicine, lectured with the aid of films on the effects of various brain stimulations. Another activity of the year was a Parents' Night, for mothers and fathers of the freshman biology students. Rev. Ioseph Peters, SJ. was faculty advisor. Page 104 Dr. Francis M.

Heidelberg Club During '55-'54, as in past years, the Xavier Heidelberg Club utilized its bi-monthly meetings to further its purpose of promoting a knowledge and appreciation of German culture. As usual, all meetings were held at the Kolping House. Special activities of the first semester included a float for the Homecoming parade, a dance, and a Christmas party. During the second semester the Club sponsored its annual Father and Son QERIAN4 4137 gil an CQ E653 Q EIIIS 0 S' 6 5' D . ' IVNW Ccc D55 Night.

Page 107 The oldest organization on the Xavier campus, the Poland Philopedian Society, spent an espe- cially active year alternately defending and refuting the United States' policy of free trade. During the first semester, in preparation for the big tournaments that were to come, a session was held every Thursday on the principles of debating. During this meeting the Philops' coach, Rev. Thomas Conry, SJ., instructed the members in the art of speaking, and provided both the affirmative and negative with material to use in preparing their cases. Early in the year, Xavier Philops were host to schools from the Ohio-Kentucky area in a practice tournament, the purpose of which was to prepare the debaters for future intercollegiate competition. In December, a special debate on Page 108 Poland Ph ilopedian Society Top row: Carr, Brusch. Fourllz row: Lippert, Manley. Tllfrd row: Nlurphy, Gladis, Hellkamp. Second row: Hellkamp, Mohs.

The society participated in tournaments at Ohio State, Kent State, De Pauw, Nazareth, Loyola tchicagoj, and Mary Washington Col- lege during the second semester. The Philops also sponsored the Ohio Valley Championship for schools in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. On March 16, two members met two students from India in a debate on the merits of lndia's policy of neutrality toward communism.

Athenaeum The Xavier Athenaeum, the UniVersity's literary magazine, made two appearances during '55-'54-and made them in a new format. Most of the contributions for The Athenaeum came, as usual, from undergraduates of the University. Poetry, fiction, essays, and one-act drama were penned by the contributors. The faculty was also represented. The Meaning of Higher Education, an address by Dr. Paul Harkins of the Department of Classics, was part of the winter edition of Volume XXVI. Iustin Huber edited The Athenaeum. Others on the staff were Dennis Murphy, Thomas Kerver, Iohn Moorman, Robert Fitzpatrick, and Mayo Mohs. Dr. William H. Willer served as faculty advisor. Top row: Gruneisen, Olvany, Blank, Sherlock, Mohs, Meisze Political Forum The Political Forum was founded to give stu- dents in pre-law courses, political science, eco- nomics, and history, an outlet for discussion of problems current in the field of government. Now in its second year on the campus, the Forum has become an active affiliate of the International Relations Clubs, which are re- garded highly in colleges and universities throughout the country. At its monthly meetings, in addition to lively discussions, the forum viewed films of the American Film Forum, a series of pictures deal- ing with timely political topics. Officers of the Forum were Kenneth Boehme, president 5 Philip Kennedy, vice-president, and Mayo Mohs, secretary-treasurer. Dr. Frank Peters was faculty advisor. Fi1'.rl1'aw.'

The voices of the renowned Xavier choral group, the Clef Club, rang out many times during '55-'54 in concerts and other public appearances. Tuesday and Thursday evenings in the Dorothy Albers Fine Arts Room the Cleffers practiced long and laboriously to make their performances listenable. After opening its season with a formal concert at the Cincinnati Country Club, the Clef Club made appearances at Madeira High School, Villa Madonna College, the Summit, and Good Samaritan Hospital. Highlight of the season was a tour, in Nlay, to schools and colleges in Kentucky. Besides engagements in the concert field, the Club also sang at the Mass of' the Holy Ghost, at the dedication of the statue of Saint Clef Club Francis Xavier, at Family Day celebration, and at its annual concert-dance in May. As if all this activity wasn't enough, the Clef Club found time to have its own social functions and to build the float that won the Homecoming Parade's first award. Clef Club otiicers were Robert George, presi- dent, Richard DeCorps, vice-president, William Braun, secretary, John Carroll, treasurer, Donald Graves and Tim Garry, librarians, and Fred Costa, business manager.

The show appeared on Sunday afternoons, and was guided by Jerry Keefe and Wink Vester as MC's. Each show included entertainers from colleges and universities in the midwest. Talent from Xavier, however, permeated each edition of the production. Featured throughout the season were singers Gene Iochem and Frank Secller, and pianists William Braun and Peter Paul Loyanich.

Page 116' Dflany an afternoon was spent by members of the Band in their practice room. Results were evident in excellent performances. Xaverians and opponents saw the Band add color to the half-time cere- monies during the '55-'54 football season. They watched precision shows presented with accuracy, for into each production, along with the spirit of each bandsman, went many hours of hard work and practice. Work for each show began weeks before the actual presentation. Theme, music, and movements had to be selected and arranged. Utter confusion seemed to predominate in the Band room before rehearsal, but immediately at 12:30 on Mondays, Band Director Gilbert Maringei' gave an outline of the show and music to be presented, and the confusion ended. At 1:50 the Band took to the field for marching practice. Each member Enthusiasm mounts as the Band forms for a half-time show. had a job to do. Only by working together could bandsmen achieve musical and parade harmony. Over and over the Band went through separate segments, and then the en- tire show was put together. At each rehearsal this procedure was repeated until the performance was polished. The Band's musical strains also were enjoyed at twelve basketball games in the Fieldhouse and at the Cincinnati Gardens. Concert and march numbers added to the spirit and enthusiasm of the team and the fans. A special treat was the pre- sentation of Nlr. Maringer's own ar- rangement of Tenderly. After its initial performance, many requests for repetition of this number were received. At the UC game X forms a red, white, and blue spiral. Page 117 A great thrill for the entire band came when Congressman Gordon Scherer, chairman of the House Un-American Activities Committee, sent a letter praising and congratulating the Band for its excellent presentation of the patriotic theme at the Xavier-U.C. game. Commenda- tions were also received on the western theme presented at the University of Chattanooga game in Chattanooga. After the basketball season attention was focused on what many bandsmen felt was the high point of the year, the concert given on Family Day in May. On the program were Overture Belgique, Hundigunsmarch, Arranger's Holiday, Deep River, Cambodia, and other colorful arrangements. The ROTC Band served the military depart- ment in all its functions. When battalion and regimental parades were held on Fridays and when the annual regimental review was held in May, the Band was on hand to increase the Proudly, the Xavier Band salutes the United States. morale and spirit of the troops. ln addition to these performances the Band participated with the entire regiment at half-time ceremonies at the spring football game. The University Band made its final appear- ance at the evening Pontilical High Mass scheduled to be celebrated at Xavier in honor of Mary, the Blessed Mother of God, on Sunday, May 50, under the direction of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. At a banquet calendared for june 1, each bandsman was to be given his merit award. Freshmen received a letter, sophomores a trophy, juniors a jacket, and seniors either a jacket or monogrammed blanket. Another season ended with the departing seniors taking with them the memories of the wonderful times and com- panionships they had made in the Band. Under- classmen, however, knew that after the summer vacation they would be back in September to begin another season of hard work and practice. The Band announces It's A Grand Old Flag.

Reno- vated by its new director, Mr. Iohn Maupin, the Masquers deviated from the type of drama which they had presented in former years, and went modern. Three Men on a Horse, a comedy success on stages everywhere, was the Masque Society offering during the first week of December. Playing the featured roles were Iohn Grissmer, William Sweeney, Joseph Smithmeyer, Iames Dresen, Mary Ann McCullough, and Daniel Coletta. Driehaus, Coletta, Dresen and McCullough. The second play was presented in May, and was the well-known modern drama, Detective Story. Because of the large number in the cast, assignment of roles was a difficult problem, but once again the Masque Society, in the tradition it has made famous, surmounted the obstacles in its way and produced another success. Acting, of course, isn't the only facet of the Masquers. Producing, staging, making sets and costumes, and assisting Mr. Maupin in directing were all tasks assigned to members. William Sweeney is Masque Society presi- dent, Iames Dresen vice-president, and lane Davoran secretary-treasurer. Mr. Maupin is also faculty advisor. Page 121 Top row: Grace, Ulmer.

Chicago Club The men from the Windy City this year spent another nine months in amiability and friend- ship. Besides their many meetings and social get-togethers, the Chicago Club sponsored a picnic in May, an all-day affair for members only. Vito DeCarlo was president, William Sweeney vice-president, and Fred Gale secretary-trea- surer. Rev. Iames McCummiskey, SJ., native Chicagoan, served as faculty advisor. qmuu t' an f of' us 2 5 'fccc-11' I Page 122 Top row: Stieger, Murray,'Braun, Schoeplein, Hengst.

Cleveland Club Activities for the '55-'54 edition of the Cleve- land Club began even before the first semester got under way, with a picnic in the Forest City for alumni, students, and prospective Xavier men. After the year actually started, the primary goal of the Clevelanders was to assist the Dads Club and the Cleveland alumni organization in promoting Xavier to Cleveland high schoolers. In this connection, it sponsored meetings and parties in Cleveland for prospects. The Club's own social functions included a dance at Christmas and a hay ride at Easter, both taking place at Cleveland. During May, the members held their annual picnic. Ufficers, elected in March, were Robert Morris, president, Iames Sammon, vice-presi- dent 3 Charles'Marcellino, secretary 5 and Michael Schaffer, treasurer. Acting as faculty advisor was Rev.

Buckeye Club Although Xavier has always had a Cleveland Club to bring together the students who lived in and around the Forest City, not until this year did the rest of Ohio have the opportunity to band into an organization. The new Buckeye Club admits all students who reside in any part of Ohio except the areas around Cleveland and Cincinnati. Since its territory contains such heavily populated cities as Toledo, Columbus, Portsmouth, Dayton, and Springfield, the club membership of over fifty men became one of the largest of any campus group. Their first and foremost activity of the year was the sponsoring of a dance with the Evening College Social Club. Buckeye Club president was Edward N ardini. Other ofiicers were Fred Drugan, vice-president, James Pardi, secretary 3 and A1 Cincione, trea- surer. Acting as faculty advisor was Dr. Philip Gendreau. Confederate Club The newest co-curricular activity to become a part of Xavier life is the Confederate Club, com- posed of students who hail from below the Mason-Dixon Line. The first Club project was to nominate Miss Arlene Koch as its candidate for Homecoming Queen, an honor which she later won by vote of all the students. At the Homecoming parade, the Confederate Club float tied for second place with the float of the Xavier University News. During the Kentucky Invitational Basketball tourney at Louisville, the club sponsored an open house for visiting friends of Xavier and their guests. Club officers were Iohn Foley, president 5 Matt Deboor, vice-president 5 Thomas Gruneisen, secretary 5 and Richard Schieman, treasurer. Rev. Clifford Besse, SJ., a native of Kentucky, acted as 'advisor for the Southerners. The Confederate Club's prize winning float in the Homereoming Contest. Page 125 Mr. C. Robert Bierne, Rev. I.

The Xavier Alumni Major activities for alumni included Home- coming with all the trimmings in November. In December, to honor Saint Francis Xavier, alumni attended Mass celebrated in the Fieldhouse by the Most Rev. Iohn K. Mussio, alumnus Bishop of Steubenville. In March the second Blue and White Derby was run for funds for a Logan Hall laboratory. Mr. Fred C. Lamping served as Alumni presi- dent. He was assisted by Mr. Iames W. Farrell, vice-presidentg Mr. Leo E. Oberschmidt, trea- surerg Mr. James C. Keefe, financial secretary 3 Mr. William H. Bocklage, executive secretary 3 and Mr. C. Robert Beirne, historian. Rev. Peter Buschmann, SJ., himself an alumnus, served as consultant. The Xavier Alumnae Alumnae had many activities during '55-'54- a discussion group under Rev. Jerome Lemmer, SJ., a Lenten retreat, a Day of Recollection, a Christmas party, assisting the Mardi Gras dinner dance, presenting a scholarship and the English medal, and the traditional Iune dinner to wel- come new members. Ufficers were Dorothy Lett, president Q Ienny Bischoff, vice-presidentg Mary Adele Renne- kamp, secretaryg and Mary Rita Boeddeker, treasurer. Board members were Helen Knecht, Q-orothy Felclkamp, Elizabeth Ann Feeley, Kathryn Kramer and Mary Catherine Zimmer. Father Lemmer is also faculty consultant ofthe organization. Clackwi.m.'

The Booklovers With library aims in mind, the Booklovers sponsored several events during '55-'5-4. Their chief activity was to co-sponsor, along with other groups of the University, the annual Mardi Gras, part of the proceeds of which are used for the University Library Fund. A card party, a Day of Recollection, and special parties for the mothers of freshmen and seniors also were arranged. Mrs. Walter Boeckley served as president of the Booklovers. She was assisted by vice-presi- dents, Mrs. Harry Fehr and Mrs. August Richter, treasurer, Mrs. Ioseph Lammersg secre- taries, Mrs. Harvey Bertram, Mrs. Fred Boehl- ing, and Mrs. Ruth Feeley, and auditor, Mrs. Robert Herrlinger.

Be they veterans, businessmen, saleswomen, professional men or women, or students, Xavier throws its doors open to all because they are seeking knowledge. The Evening Division, located close to the heart of the thriving business district of the Queen City, is convenient to many persons who might otherwise find it difficult to attend classes. The interest shown by the men and women of Cincinnati's business world is evidence enough of the importance of the Evening Division. May Iesus Christ keep men always interested in their advance- ment in wisdom, age, and grace before God and man, and may all those who belong to the Xavier Evening Division do all-things to the greater glory of God. 541 3555 dim 'vfss -ll X i' llll. - , s -, is Qgjjlli -51 'Zh s s, Q - 1 -- H:i'l 1 t ,. s ll 1 l ' ' gi: ri V - 1.

Keeping abreast with modern Catholic educa- tion, the Evening Division ol' Xavier University affords an ideal opportunity for the men and women of Cincinnatfs business establishments to enhance their abilities. Approximately eleven hundred students registered in the University's evening classes during '53-'54. Some chose to enter specialized courses offered to meet their individual needs and interests. Many others enrolled in the regular programs leading to certificates and de- grees. In Iune, forty-two ED students are to graduate. It is significant that almost one-third of the ED registrants are veterans of World War II or of the Korean War. Page 129 During the summer of '55 the staff of the Division underwent some changes. Dean Irvin Beumer, who had served the evening students during the past three years, reluctantly resigned to return to an early interest-advertising. He was succeeded by Dean Russell Walker, mem- ber of the University faculty in accounting since 1945. Dean Walker has proved himself capable Page 150 iqL'I1IL'fl.' Messrs.

As a former student in the Evening Division and a graduate of Xavier in 1945, he knows the prob- lems-and the wishes-of ED men and women. If his performance during '55-'54 is to be taken as a criterion, he will serve the students well. Also to the Evening Division came Assistant Dean Gerald Harriman, who had previously XVilliam Marcaccio, Dr. Iohrx been known to students as Veterans Director and instructor in economics. MI'S. Janet Car- penter became secretary of the school, succeed- ing Miss Helen Sommer. Other cffice personnel were Misses Ienna Glenn and Sylvia Voskuhl. Rev. Victor Nieporte, SJ., former Dean of many Cincinnatians are eager to grasp in some degree. Dean Walker, realizing the demand for courses of this kind at the level of Adult Educa- tion, gave many hours to planning and organiz- ing them. Particularly novel and welcome was one that reflected the current do-it-yourself the ED, continued to serve as Regent ' fn : S-fc - t in home repairs and another in contract school. .

It is that side that was to carry on the work formerly done by the Boosters. The first meeting of those who were to formulate policy for the Social Club was held late in August. Twenty students came together under the leadership of Wilnia Dickinson to plan the year's activities. Others became associated with the Club as the year progressed.

Fran! row: Gibson, Nliller, Olberding, Dickinson. On October 6 some of the influence of the Club became manifest. A Get Acquainted Dance, chair-manned by Miss Dickinson, was a sure success, and opened the door for the Witches' Whirl, chairmanned on October 50 by Betty Miller. The Social Club worked together with the Evanston Division's Buckeye Club to stage a Black Cat Dance on Friday, November 50, in South Hall on the Evanston campus. Mary Perry of the Social Club and Ed Nardini of the Buckeyes were co-chairmen. The Social Club entered a float in the Home- coming Parade-the ED's first entry-and this also indicated that SCers meant business. Later they went about bringing together a group who like to sing, so the ED Choral Club under the direction of Miss Helen Gough, organist at Bellarmine Chapel, came into being. Page 132 An ED tradition is its Christmas Party. On December 20, the festivity, complete with Christ- mas Tree and Santa, was held in the school auditorium and was directed by Donald Hart- man. Every one brought a fifty-cent toy, and these donations, together with the proceeds from class collections, were used to stage a gala Christ- mas party for the youngsters at Holy Trinity School in Cincinnati's West End. ED students are generous-as well as fun-loving. Next there had to be a Valentine Dance. It was held on February 12 in South Hall. There were other less formal events during the year- bowling parties, a smoker during Lent for the fellows, and an invitational tea sponsored by the Alumnae Association. Co-eds also had a Day of Recollection. Social highlight of the year for the Social Club and their friends is the annual Spring Semi- Formal to be held at the Kemper Lane Hotel on May 28, when the Lady of the Evening Division is elected and crowned with fitting eclat. Marlene Taulbee and Ann O' Brien agreed to act as co-chairmen for this event. During the year three ED co-eds came into their own as royalty. The first was Arlene Koch, Queen of the University's Homecoming. She and her attendants, Mary Weil and Shirley Schmitt, were honored at the game and at the festivities that followed it. Marty Bowyer of the ED was elected by the juniors of the University to reign as Queen at the Iunior Prom, February 26. She and her court, Lois Hughes and Ienna Glenn, were honored during the dance in the Pavillion Caprice of the Netherland Plaza. Later in the year Lois Hughes was chosen by the members of the University's ROTC to be- come honorary Cadet Colonel. In this role she reigned over the Military Ball at Castle Farm lVlcCullough, Sweeney, and G on April 25, and reviewed the ROTC when it was officially inspected at the year's end. Evening Division co-eds also played important roles in the productions of the Masque Society in '55-'54. Iudy Olberding, Mary Ann McCul- lough, Iane Davoran, and Pat Driehaus had parts in Three Men on a Horse, presented December 4, 5, and 6, and helped make the comedy a success. Miss Davoran and lean Feiertag had leads in Detective Story, Masque production of May 7, 8, and 9. Miss Driehaus and Elaine Stadtmiller also had roles. Qther honors that came to ED co-eds resulted from the innovation of having sponsors for the XU Band at the various games. Lois Hughes was sponsor at the Miami University game, Dot Trageser at the first University of Dayton game, Wilma Dickinson at the University of Cin- cinnati game, Helen Shehane at the Boston College game, and Phyllis Hauck at the second game against Dayton. Thus ends the story-to be renewed again in September, when the Evening Division begins another year of service to the citizens of Greater Cincinnati. rissmer indulge in a dress rehearsal. .3-.wget .,.. . gms, ' Z: f VY. ii H Page 135 With T hese Hands . . .

The Marines, loaded with former college stars, won 15-6. X kicked off to open the game, and the teams exchanged punts until Quantico, on a second and 10 play, shook loose halfback Iack Mounie, who ankled off 56 yards for a Marine TD. The attempt for the extra point failed. The Marines hit pay dirt again in the second quarter with eight minutes gone, after picking Q LIU- K, ix is im M VE :,..,., as COACH ED KLUSKA ff I Jr '?

XAVIER 7 - DAYTON 0 The Musketeers rebounded by edging out the Dayton Flyers in Xavier Stadium, before a crowd of 11,500. The Muskies tallied the lone touchdown in the third quarter as Bobby Iudd ankled off the final 14 yards after X had marched down the field with Iudd, Charlie O'Leary, and Gene Iochem picking up the yardage. Iudd then split the uprights with his conversion, and the Muskies were out in front to stay. The first half furnished little excitement for the Xavier rooters as the stout Dayton line held the Muskies in check. The Flyers, who were having trouble penetrating the Xavier line, took to the air but had little success. In fact, the Iudd follows blockers through the Quantico line. charges of Coach Ioe Gavin failed to penetrate beyond the Xavier 46 yard line during the first half. The second half proved to he more trouble- some to Dayton as they picked up only nine yards rushing, and got none in the third quarter. The Xavier line, led by Artie Hauser, John Baele, and Neal Loughran were in the Dayton backfield most of the afternoon. Besides halting the Flyer ground attack, they gave the UD quarterbacks little time to throw their passes. Yvith the Marines grounded, O'Leary goes through the line. A tough Quantico line stops Xavier. The Flyers connected only seven out of 29 tries, which amounted to only 64 yards. In their touchdown march the Musketeers showed real brilliance. The drive started when Judd returned a punt 16 yards to midfield. Then halfback Charlie O'Leary and fullback Gene Iochem drove to the 22 in three tries. After O'Leary failed to gain through the line, Degaro passed to him, and it was good for eight yards. Iudd then went off right tackle, without a hand being laid on him for the final 14 yards. ,Quinn G 9 aww W , Q 2 E ' S 'Pace-119 I Page 141 Iudd runs through the center ofthe Dayton line. XAVIER 6 - MIAMI 28 Sparked by Denny Studrawa and Tom Pagna, the Redskins of Miami University passed and ran all over Miami Stadium. The strong arm of Studrawa won the game. He passed for two TD's and later called a play that sent Xavier defenders to right while his ball carrier, Ed Merchant, swept unmolested to the left. Tom Pagna scored Miami's other touchdown on a power show for 55 yards. X's only score culminated a 75-yard drive when Degaro passed to lack Byrne, who went over. The game was a tight defensive battle until late in the first quarter. It was a drive that brought Miami 46 yards in eight plays, setting them in position on the XU 14 yard line. Studrawa then hit the waiting arms of end Iay Ansel in payoff territory. In the second period the Redskins drove down to the Xavier 22. There Studrawa faded on an option play and for the second time found Ansel Page 142 beyond the goal line. The junior quarterback added his second extra point. Time then ran out on the Muskies, who had driven 55 yards on a Zmyslinski to Kirkholf pitch, and found themselves fighting the clock as well as the Miamians. The half ended with X on the Miami 25. Early in the third quarter halfback Tom Pagna shook off a host of would-be tacklers and drove 55 yards from scrimmage into the end zone. Studrawa again converted, making the score 21-0. Sophomore Charlie O'Leary put the spark into X's drive for its only score, when he broke through the line for 44 yards to the Redskin 25. A few plays later he went over from the two, and Xavier moved to 21-6. Miami quickly moved again as Ed Merchant took a handoff from the elusive Studrawa and went 55 yards into the end zone for the score. Automatic Studrawa converted. Sparkling defensive play by the Blue and White sophomores, especially Don St. Iohn, held Miami scoreless in the fourth quarter. fXAVIER 19 - LOUISVILLE 15 Before some 5,000 fans, the University of Louisville yielded to Xavier at Parkway Field in Louisville. The first quarter saw no serious penetrations by either team until the Muskies started a drive on their own 40 yard line, to advance to the Cardinal 55 as the quarter ended. With Don St. Iohn and Lenny Frey picking up valuable ground, the Muskies advanced the ball into the shadow of the Louisville goal. Lou Magliano went over for the touchdown. The try for extra point was wide. Louisville took the ball, but was unable to advance and punted. O'Leary received the ball on the 15 and was dropped. The first team then reappeared and started an 85 yard march. It took the Muskies three first downs and nine plays to score their second touchdown with Gene Iochem going over from seven yards out. St. Iohn converted. Louisville kicked off to open the second half, and held the Muskies to five yards. Unitas took Iochemis punt on the Xavier 40, and with Iirn Hollowell throwing the key block, went all the way for the first Cardinal score. U of L's try for the extra point was good. lochem took the Louisville kickoff on the X 20 yard line, and returned the ball to the X 40. O'Leary and Iochem did most of the ball carry- ing with Gino Paoloni scoring. Paoloni's kick was good. In the fourth quarter, Louisville moved the ball tothe Muskies' 52. With fourth down and five yards to go, the Cardinals punted, but Xavier committed a foul, giving Louisville a first down on the Muskies' 24. Frank Wibbels went over a few plays later for the Cardinals' final score. A host of Flyers ground a Xavier ball carrier. Q Page 145 X goes over for a touchdown against Miami.

It looked like Xavier might pull the game out late in the fourth quarter, when, with seven minutes left, Norm Zmyslinski carried to UC's two, but the stubborn UC line gave only a yard and a half in four tries by Xavier backs. On UC's second play after regaining possession, Ioe Miller broke loose around right end, and sped 91 yards to the Xavier five. UC wasn't stopped, and that was the ball game. The Bearcats had picked up two quick touch- downs early in the second quarter when Coach Ed Kluska pulled out the first string, who were fatigued from the heat. Xavier scored with less than a minute left in the half when Gino Paoloni beat two UC de- ,iq llflagliano runs out into the open Dfliami field. fenders to a Brockhoff pass, and scored, making the halftime score read, UC 14, X 6. The third quarter was marked by hard line play. Late in it the teams exchanged fumbles on the UC 20 with the Bearcats ending up with the ball. Four plays later, UC went to the Xavier 42 and a first and ten. On third and nine, Murphy went all the way through the Xavier defense into the end zone, but UC was called for clipping, and the TD was nullified.

X got the ball on the BC 27, and ten plays later scored with Bob Iudd going over from the one yard line. Gino Paoloni came in and kicked the extra point. This lead didn't last long as BC's Kane hit back Dan Brosnahan on the X 50, who in turn evaded a Muskie defender to go the distance. The kick was wide, and X still held a 7-6 lead. BC scored again a few minutes later when Zotti intercepted a Zmyslinski pass on the BC Page 146 50 and went 70 yards. The Eagles wasted no time in scoring again, recovering a Iudd fumble on their 51 and driving the remaining 71 yards for the score. Beginning the fourth quarter, BC scored via the air as, on second down, Kane faded back to his own 10 to pass to Frank Marra, who went for an S0 yard touchdown jaunt. Six minutes before the end of the game, Zotti took a St. Iohn punt on his own 55 and went through the middle of the field for a 67 yard touchdown gallop. X ended the scoring in the last two minutes. of play as foe Degaro passed to the BC 1, and Lenny Frey went over for the score. Paoloni added the extra point. XAVIER 14 - VILLANOVA 21 The Villanova Wildcats scored two quick touchdowns in the second quarter and added the clincher in the third to edge a fighting bunch of Musketeers before 5,600 fans in Connie Mack Stadium. Wildcat fans got a real scare in the fourth quarter when X scored a touchdown to make the score 21-14 and later recovered a Villanova fumble on the 52, but lost the ball when the Cats intercepted a Zmyslinski pass. X re- gained the ball on a fumble but was unable to advance. The Nluskies, their ground game stopped, took to the air in the second quarter and scored on a 22 yard pass from Zmyslinski to Iudd. Iudd took the bad pass from center on the try for the extra point, and being unable to kick, ran for the point. With four minutes remaining in the first half, Villanova took a Xavier punt on the X 35, and on the first play from scrimmage, All-American Gene Filipski went through left guard to score.

Filipski took the punt on his own 55, cut to the sidelines, and returned it to the Muskie 29. Two plays later Villanova scored, and the conversion was good. Early in the fourth quarter, the Mainliners made it 21-7 on a screen pass good for 46 yards. The Muskies drove for their second touchdown as Zmyslinski again took to the air, hitting lack FitzWi11iams in the end zone on a nine yard pass, to culminate a 74 yard march. Iudd's conversion made it 14-21. XAVIER 19 - JOHN CARROLL 55 The Streaks put on one of the finest offensive displays of the year at Corcoran Field. It 'was the passing of Pete Ghirla and the running of fullback Mike Torrelli that kept the Xavier de- fense in trouble all afternoon. Page 148 Ghirla and end Chuck McMillan started john Carroll's scoring by teaming up on a 72 yard touchdown pass on the first play of the game. Ghirla converted, and Iohn Carroll led 7-0 after only 45 seconds. Xavier bounced right back as Iudd took a handoff on the Muskies' second play from scrimmage and ran 60 yards to the Carroll one. He scored on the next play. After the kickoff, Carroll pushed to the Xavier 16, but lost the ball there on downs. Zymslinski tossed a pass, but the ball was batted high into the air, and defensive right halfback Rich Hoffman stole it out of the air and went into the end zone for the score. On the next kickoff, Xavier took over, ran three plays, but had to punt. Carroll lost a yard and was on its own 19 yard line when Cvhirla tossed a pass to Torrelli behind the line. The left back then went 81 yards untouched. Xavier's second stringers took over in the second quarter, and led by Lenny Frey, scored with Paoloni's good conversion to make the score 21-15. Xavier received the opening kickoff of the second half, but fumbled the ball away on its own 42. Ghirla took to the air again and threw a high arching pass which Ray Pikus caught on the run and carried into the end zone. The Muskies drove, on the following kickoff, to the Carroll 16, where ICU took over on downs. Torrelli again broke loose, racing around right end 82 yards for the TD. Ghirla tried to pass for the extra point, but failed. Xavier managed to score its last touchdown in the final quarter when Lenny Frey crashed through from the one. XAVIER 6 - CHATTANOOGA 16 A shivering crowd of 6,000 fans saw Xavier go to its fifth defeat at the hands of the Moc- casins in Chattanooga. Touchdowns in the first and fourth quarters plus a safety proved to be the difference. After the Muskies held twice within their own twenty, Dick Young plunged into the end zone with four minutes remaining in the first period. The conversion was good. Early in the second period, end Bob Salancy saw a pass from Bob Monahan, center, sail over his head into the end zone, and had to fall on it to give Chattanooga a safety and a 9-0 lead. Xavier scored midway in the third quarter when Bob Iudd recovered a Moc fumble on the Chattanooga 45. Seven plays later Zmyslinski scored on a fake pass play, crossing the goal line untouched. Chattanooga took the kickoff on its own 42 and on the third play of the fourth quarter, Young smashed over for his second TD. This time Ed Iarmakowicz converted. Late in the fourth quarter, Jack Fitzwilliam blocked a Chattanooga punt at mid-field with the ball going out on the X 45. Zmyslinski threw Iohn Carroll surprises and tumbles Iudd of Xavier. V Page 149 two straight passes to move the ball to the Moc 14. Magliano and Iudd moved the ball to the four for a first down, but got no farther as Chattanooga made a great goal line stand. XAVIER 0 - DAYTON 0 A small crowd braved the rain in Dayton Stadium to watch both teams end the season. The weather, along with a muddy field, kept the play on the ground, and marred the game with fumbles, which cost both teams touchdowns. Xavier elected to receive. In the first series of plays the Muskies drove from their 45 to the Dayton 56 only to lose the ball on downs. Late infthesecond quarter the Musketeers carried the ball from their own 46 to the Dayton 6, again toiulose the pigskin on downs. Then the Flyers, led by Ielic and Guido, drove from their own 26 to the X 27, stopped only when Martin's fumble was recovered by Chuck Kirkhoff. Later in the second quarter Xavier intercepts, and then elu Guido returned one of Norm Zmyslinski's punts 67 yards to the X 58, but Xavier held as the half ended. Early in the third quarter the Muskies ad- vanced the ball to the Dayton 10, Frey and Magliano carried for five between them, and Iudd carried over tackle for four. On the next play the ball was jarred from Iudd's hand and was recovered by Spoerl, ending the last scoring threat by either team. The opening game with Quantico had showed that the Musketeers were not quite as strong in some departments as fans might have wished for, but in the ensuing games, as the team gained experience, Xavier rooters saw the X-men rise to the occasion and play almost magnificently even when they were not able to win. All this presages a happy outlook for '54-'55, just as it deserves acclaim for a task excellently done under serious difficulties in '55-'54. des a Iohn Carroll player.

They won eighteen of their thirty games, and defeated some of the finest teams in the country. Twice they defeated Miami of Ohio and Murray State, and three times Eastern Kentucky. They also conquered Villanova, Centenary, and Mississippi Southern. Theirs was the highest score made against the great Kentucky Wildcats. They also showed well against top flight Minnesota, Loyola of the South, and Iona. The greatest mystery of the season was the Muslcies' inability to win consistently at home. In their local appearances the Wulkmen won only six games and lost seven. On the road the record was a brilliant twelve won, five lost, and the worst defeat was by only eight points. CAPTAIN BOB HEIM Page 153 Xavier and Union players pump for a loose ball. This was the third year that the young and energetic Ned Wulk has been at the Xavier helm. His team showed great determination and fight. It was Ned's kind of team, as he places strong emphasis on defense. This year's team average was thirteen points below that of the past two years. Iim Bunning and Bob Finnell served as fresh- man coaches and did a good job with the yearlings. Serving as captain of the 1955-54 Musketeers was one of Xavier's outstanding cagers of the past several seasons. He was the always hustling Bob Heim of Newport, one of the best ball- players in the Midwest. Sophomore center Dave Piontek took the scoring championship with 458 points. He was followed by Heim with 452. Two other starters went over the three-hundred mark as Paul Margerum contributed 505 and Chuck Hofmann Page 154 502. The other starter, Lou Vonderbrink, was close behind with 287. Heim led the team in field goal percentages, hitting on 50.1 percent of his shots which placed him among the percentage leaders of the nation. Captain Bob Heim and Paul Margerum of Monroe, Ohio, were the only seniors on the squad. XAVIER 77 - UNION 51 The Xavier hoopmen successfully opened their season with an easy win over Union College. Captain Heim led the Muskie scorers with 18 points. Close behind was sophomore center Dave Piontek with 17 points. Dick Schneider and Chuck Hofmann added 10 points apiece to the Xavier cause. In winning, Xavier lost the services of guard Iim O'Connell, who broke his left arm during the third quarter of the game, after scoring 12 points. XAVIER 85 - KENT STATE 64 After getting off to a slow start, the Muskies led by reserve Duke Schneider's 20 points ran away from the Flashes in the second half. Xavier puts the ball in the basket again at the Union game. Xavier showed a well balanced scoring attack with Hofmann following Schneider with 18 points, Heim 14, and Margerum and Vonder- brink 12 points each. XAVIER 80 - HANOVER 60 The red hot Muskies continued their winning ways against a hard fighting Hanover quintet, who tried till the end. The Xavier scoring was again remarkably well balanced with Piontek leading with 21, followed by Heim with 18, Schneider 16, and Vonderbrink 15. XAVIER 66 - KENTUCKY 81 Xavier cou1dn't counteract Kentucky's great one-two punch of Cliff Hagan and Frank Ramsey, and fell before the Wildcats in an interesting game played in the Cincinnati Garden. The contest, watched by 11,881, was decided largely off the boards. Piontek led the Muskie scorers with 17 points.

Bob Schaffer of Villanova tallied 26 points while the Muskies were being led by Heim's 22 and Vonderbrink's 17. XAVIER 64 - IONA 70 The brief Xavier winning streak was cut short when the Muskies moved up to White Plains to meet Iona, who, paced by Richie Guering's 52 points, dropped the Miiskies. Vonderbrink's 17 points was high for X. XAVIER 66 - SIENA 54 The Muskies got back in the win column the following night at Albany, against Siena.

Piontek led all scorers with 25 points. XAVIER 86 - EASTERN KENTUCKY 67 What was supposed to have been a close game, the Muskies turned into a complete rout. Eastern had held powerful Western Kentucky to a narrow win the night before, and was Heim grabs the ball on a rebound from the UC basket. supposed to give X quite a battle. lVIargerum's 14 led Xavier scorers while Tom Holbrook paced Eastern with 24. Other point getters in X's balanced attack were DeBoor with 15, Heim and Vonderbrink with 12 and Piontek with Il. XAVIER 85 - IOHN CARROLL 60 In a game played at Troy, Ohio, Xavier downed the Streaks of Iohn Carroll in easy fashion. Vonderbrink had his best night of the season, hitting I2 of 15 free throws while gar- nering 28 points. Piontek followed with 22. XAVIER 71 - KENTUCKY 76 The Muskies traveled to Lexington where they gave the mighty Wildcats their closest home court win of the season, after UK had roared to a 22 point lead early in the second quarter. Heim had 18 for X, closely followed by Marge1'um with 16. Cliff Hagan led all scorers with 20 points. XAVIER 58 - CINCINNATI 77 Ianuary 6 was a black day for Xavier as underdog UC overcame the Muskies.

XAVIER 79 - EASTERN KENTUCKY 65 After a slow first quarter, which saw X leading by two points, the visiting Muskies paced by Margerum and Piontek shot to a commanding 58-24 halftime lead, which was too much for the Maroons to overcome. The Wiilkmen hit a torrid 16 out of 50 shots in the final half. All the starters hit in double figures with Dave Piontek leading with 17. XAVIER 74 - BALDWIN-WALLACE 57 Paced by Piontek the Muskies pulled away from a stubborn bunch of hoopsters from Northern Ohio in the second half after a very close first half. Piontek led all scorers with 22, followed by Vonderbrink with 17, Heim with 14, and Margerum with 12. XAVIER 58 - DAYTON 66 After holding an early lead, the Muslxies fell behind the homestanding Flyers in the early seconds of the fourth quarter, and with Piontek and Hofmann on the sidelines never caught up. Margerum's 15 points led X, while long Iohn Horan was the top Flyer with 19 points. XAVIER 65 - LOUISVILLE 74 Though the Muskies shot off to an early lead, the visiting Cardinals, mainly behind the sharp shooting of Corky Cox, took the lead shortly before halftime and never relinquished it. X tried a last ditch rally and came within two points, with about four minutes remaining, but that was all. Big Dave Piontek led Xavier scorers with 20 points, but Cox was high for the game with 21. 1 l D Boor places another shot despite the efforts of Miami.

XAVIER 70 - MURRAY STATE 64 Trailing late in the third quarter, the Muskies put on a whirlwind finish to beat the Racers for the second time. Excellent play by DeBoor and O'Connell, who had just returned to action after his opening game injury, sparked the Mus- keteers. Heim's 17 was high for X with Gene Garret of Murray taking game honors with 18, in the Muskies' first game of a southern tour. XAVIER 71 - CENTENARY 69 Probably the most exciting game of the Dixie tour was the close battle with the Gents at Shrevesport. Xavier led by a slim margin at the half, but with less than four minutes left in the game were down by six points. Three quick baskets by O'Connell and one by Piontek gave the Muskies the victory. I'Ieim's I9 led the scoring for X, closely followed by O'Connell's 18. XAVIER 67 - LOYOLA OF THE SOUTH 57 Loyola had won eleven straight games at home, including a victory over Dayton, but the Nlargerum grabs the ball from three Baldwin-Xvallace players.

Piontek had 18 for the Muskies while Bob O'Donnell had 22 for the Wolves. XAVIER 76 - MISSISSIPPI SOUTHERN 65 Fresh from breaking Loyola's home streak, the Muskies then halted Southern's 55 game streak. Xavier trailed through the opening period but held a 58-51 halftime lead. Led by DeBoor X soared to a commanding 62-42 lead at the end of the third quarter. Margerum was the leading point getter for X with 16 while little Nick Revon had 21 for the losers. XAVIER 49 - LOYOLA OF THE SOUTH 50 Back home, after their impressive victory in New Orleans the Muskies dropped a sluggish game to Loyola in the Fieldhouse.

Heim's 19 was high for X. Margerum and Hofmann chipped in with 15 and 11 respectively. XAVIER 90 - MIAMI 89 The Miiskies closed their season by fighting back after blowing a halftime lead.

May God, through Mary, continue to grant Cincinnati prosperity and good fortune. May He ever bless its citizens with spiritual gifts. And may Cincinnati ever reciprocate by repelling the forces of evil and by giving to God the glory that should be His.
