Two great feast days of the Church, All-Saints Day and A ll-Souls Day were fittingly and beautifully observed by the faculty and students of St. Viator College. Holy Commumon was distributed to the students at 7:10 on All-Saints Day. At 8 :30 IIigh Mass was celebrated by Rev. J.
V. Rheams, c. s. v., President of the College. A most inspiring and beautiful sermon delivered by Fath er Rheams reviewed to the students the outstanding virtues of our greatest Saints. Particular stress was placed Qn the youthful Saints. He reviewed th e lives of Sain ts Stanislaus and Aloysius, those two beautiful patrons -of boys and young m en, demonstrating t he truth t hat neither maturity nor circum stance are essential to lead the perfect life t hat leads to eternal joy. · y of gammg · · The opportumt p l enary indulgences for the Poor Souls was not overlooked. Throughout a ll of Tuesday, All-Saints Day, and Wednesday, AU-Souls Day, everyone ava iled himself of the privileges granted by Holy Mother Church for visits to the Blessed Sacrament during those two days. On A ll-Souls Day the students attended Mass and r eceived Communion at 6:30. On this day in particular · were the visits to Our Eucharistic L ord frequent and devout. The devotion of the Stations of t he Cross was observed for the Poor Souls during the afternoon visits.
DEBATING TEAM SCHEDULE WILL SOON BE FILLED Ten Debates Scheduled To Date; ,A Few More Expected Father Maguire, Coach of Debate, has been working for some time on a schedule for the ensuing season. To date he has scheduled ten inter-collegiate debates, five of which will be held in Kankakee, and five out of town. Home debates scheduled so far are with Oregon Un iversity, McMur· ry Coll ege of Abilene, Texas, St. Francis Xavier College, Loyola Univer sity, and Marquette Univer sity. Debates away from the College wi ll be held at Carroll College, Loyola University, St. Thomas College, Marquette Univer sity, and Va lparaiso Uuiversity. The two debates sc heduled with Loyola University, and the two with Ma rquette University wi ll each be dual debates taking place between two teams of eac h sc hool. Loyola w ill debate the negative team of St. Viator in Kankake e on t he same night that another Viator team will defend th e affirmative at Loyola. The Marquette debate is similarly arranged. When a few more debates have bee n scheduled, Father Maguire will close the sc hedule and devote his time to th e development of a number of representative teams chosen from the present Publ ic Speaking class and from the veteran de baters of las t year.
FATHER PLANTE DIES Just as the "Viatorian" was about to go to press word was received rhat Father J. R. Plante c . s. v. h ad died after having undergone an operation at St. Mary Hospital, Kankakee. Particulars will follow in a special issue of the Viatorian.
'Tis an oft r e peated paltitude that if you wou ld have something done efficiently you wou ld do well to go to a busy ;nan. Perhaps it was with such a thought in mind that the College Club elected to place the respons ibilities of the College Club Pre sidency upon the shoulder s of Mr. James Allen Nolan. Certainly t hey chose a busy man an d without a doubt they selected a proficient man . The election of Mr. No lan was an exceptionall y unanimous one as he was made president by the nomination alone, he being t he only one to receive a nomination. As is characteristic of his vigour an d initiative, t he new Pre sident of the College Club has inaugurated a volicy of efficiency and organization in the Club. The ultimate end of this policy is to inoculate a spirit of cooperation and soli darity into the body of the Club. President Nolan's plan form ul ates a series of three committees wh ich shall have a year's tenure. These committees are designated the service committee, the social committ ee, and the membership committee. In brief, the service committee will deal with such matter s t hat a r e of an executive character. The socia l committee, as t he term implies will co ncern itself with matters of a social nature . The social committee is auth orized to draw up an extensive social calendar for the year. The membership committee will app ly itself to any. matter that pertains to the College Club as an aggregate of several and various m embers. Thi s co mmittee directly reaches the various member s of the Club. President No lan does not intend to allow this plan a lone to terminate his policy of redintigr ation. He has other plans in mind but t h eir tentative ch aracter does no t permit him to place them in the form of statements. With t he new president of the College Club there seems to have come a r enewed spirit of cooperation and good w ill arnong the body politic, the Coll eg~ Clu b. The Club is behind Mr. Nolan to a man a n d will heartily endorse any plan that he deem s to be to the interest of t he Club. The Viatorian extends its congratu la tions and best w ishes to the new President.
FOOTBALL TEAM AND COACH TO BE HONORED College Club Will Fete Warriors and Coach Sam McAllister The football squad and Coach Sam McAllister w ill be entertained at a reception and smoker held in the College Club room s tomorrow night. At a meeting of the Advisory Board of the College Clu b last Monday it was deci ded to hold this eve nt as a fittin g close to a succesful sea son . The smoker will follow the usual lines for suc h events, but wi ll be distin~ guished by high class entertainment. The Advisory Board, at its meeting Monday, authorized the purchase of a radio for addition to th e furni s hings of the Club room. The outfit will include a six tube set of excellent standard make, an unu sually fin e loud speaker constructed especially for large room s, as well as all t h e other eq uipm ent necessary. It is hoped by the Service Committee that t he radio will be installed by Saturday and can be pressed into service for entertainment during the card games.
Rev. James F. Ryan, c. s. v., Pastor of St. Viator Parish, Chicago, Ill.
At a recent meeting of the Senior class convoked by Preident Leo Fitzgera ld, a moderator w~s chosen from the faculty. The Semor Class has been fortunate in the choice of Father Cardinal as mode rator and mentor. In Father Cardinal the Seniors are certain to find a man whose directive abi li ty a nd exce11ence for this position are on a par w ith the esteem and r espec t which he has enjoyed from the · student body of thi s institution. His popularity can only be explained by his a dm irable personal qualities and the zeal and devotion which he has manifested by countless services. The office which the Senior Class has respectfully requ ested him ·to accept is a recognition of the zeal s hown by a man who has not and does not spare himself when the welfare of the student is concerned. From another point of view, he has a specia l right to the memory of the Seniors in that the year of hi s ordination to t he pries thood and elevation to the chair of History coincide with their matriculation as College Freshmen. In consideration of this fact and of hi s coun tless se rvices, the members of the class are honor ed by the acceptance of Father Cardinal and are looking forward to a succesful year While no definite plan has been determ ined for th e ensuing year, the pol icy already outlined will run along scholastic and social lines. The consensus of opinions seems to indicate as many social events as are compatible with t he increased scholastic req ui rements of the Senior s.
The cornersto ne of the new St. Viator Parish Church a11d Rectory at Addiso n Street and Kee ler Avenue, Chicago, was blessed last S unday by the Right Reverend Edward F. Hoban, Auxiliary Bishop of the Arch.dio~ cese. A brilliant address was g1Ven by the Editor of t he "New \V"orld," Right Reverend Monsigno r Thomas V. Sh annon, a well known orator and scholar and pa stor of St. Thomas the Apostle Church. After the ceremony, the sacrament of Confirmation was adm inistered to a class of thr ee hundred children of the parish . The services of the day we r e concluded with Solemn Bened iction of the Blessed Sacrament at which Bishop Hoban acted as cele brant assisted by Father Ryan.

ALUMNUS DIES SUDDENLY OF HEART STROKE
VIATOR SPRINGS SURPRISE ON CARROLL SQUAD In one of t h e most thrilling g rid battles ever staged on Luna Stadium field Cleveland , Ohio, the Green Wa~e of Viator battled t he strong John Carroll University to a tie. The game was witnessed by a crowd of from 5,000 to 6,000 cust omers who received more f ootball thrills for their money than any crowd ever assembled in said stadium. There was a game! Replete with h air-raising stunts that would put Ed Pinlaut's tonic to shame. Deadly t ackling, perfec t interference,. long end runs, beautifully arched passes and a smashing variety of line play. Botb teams functioned perfectly, pl ays were started an d worked, because men were in the game getting their man. The ball was worked hack and for th down the fi eld, by sweeping end runs and an accurate overhead attack, but when scores beca me a possibility the opposition braced to cause hope to vanish. Viator played an excellent styl e of ball. Delaney, Laenhardt, Evard and Florin a ll gave an excellent demonstration in the backfield. All three of these men carried t h e ball consistently a ll afternoon. I n the line O'Malley and May were the outstanding s tars . O'Malley playe d the best game of his career. His tackling in the line and in the open field was hard and deadly and on offense his work in smearing and intercepting passes was sensati onaL Captain May was termed the fastest bi g tackle ever seen on Luna Field, or any Ohio field by an Ohio man officiating. May went around the entire line time and time again to snag a runner, and re peatedly blocked men on the offensive. These m en stood out in the performance, but every man was working in top notch form. Herbert, Kelley, Meis, Furlong, and Walsko a ll played t he game of their lives. Carroll H as Powerful Team John Carroll had a powerful team ·in th e fi eld, one that was a threat throughout the game. Their 19 to 6 defeat of Lomba rd on the previous Saturday gives evidence of their strength . The Cleveland club has a wonderfu l pair of backs in Gaul and Lewis. Lewis is a colored star, and his work in rece ivi ng passes and returning punts was of a high caliber. Al ong with these men Eredics, Quility, Gowan and Milcarek were the outstandin g performers. The breaks of the game seemed to be about even. Carron marched the ba1l down to Viator's five yard line in the first quarter but Viator braced and Laehnardt punted out. L ewi s, of Carroll, punted after hi s men failed to make first down and Viator took the ball on her own 25 yard l ine. Laenhardt made a beautiful return punt to t he Carroll 32 yard line. Gaul and Lewis made a first down on s uccessive p lung es. Then Lewi s punted to Viator's 4,1 yard li ne to end the quarter. Second Quarter Viator ripped off a first down w ith Florin, Evard and Delaney carrying t he bal l. Laenhardt's ki ck was blocked . O'Mall ey recovered behind the line, it was Carroll's ball. Carroll passes failed and Viator took the ball on downs. Delaney and Florin advanced the ball to th eir 44 yard line. A pass, Delaney to Florin, gave th e Iri sh fir st down on CarroJI's 46 yard line. A series of passes fa iled. Laenhardt punted to Carroll's 18 yard line. Viator wa s penalized 15 yards. A pass Quility to Gowan, put the ball on Viator's 45 yard li ne, as the half ended. Score, Carroll 0; Viator 0. Third Quarter Delaney kicked off to Carroll's 28 yard line. Lewis and Gaul went through for a first down on th e 40 yard li ne. E redics made first down a round right end. O'Ma 1l ey intercepted a Carroll pass, r eturned it 20 ya rd s and fumbled when he was tackled. Quility recovered. Viatot Contin ued -:>n Page Five

WAR-TIMEMEMORIESj (Editor'• Note. We are indebted to Hrothcr C. A. 'arlin, c. s. v., !or the !o11owing article on war-time memories which we print in connection with Armistice Day. Brother Carlin served in the American Expeditionary Forces a nd saw some of the most active engagements of the war). In June, 1918 , fi ve hundred medical men of lhc U . S. Army (myself and four hundr d ninety-nine others) landed in France. At that time the Am ericans wer e starti ng activities around the Marne, nnd were tilling up t heir rank s with fi g hting divi sions preparatory to the big drive. Our outfi t after be ing divid ed into s mal grouPs, was sent to t he various div is ions a nd etat iom~. I was se nt to t he 32nd Divisio n wh ich was then in th e lr ·nchcs in Alsace. I reporte d to a n offi cer in cha rge of a s ma ll hos pi ta l nea r t he front lin es a nd t he fo ll owin g conve r sation took place: 11 00 you know a nyt hing about first a id work?" "No si r , I am a fi eld hospita l ma n." "Co uld yo u ba nda ge up a so re finger?" " l wou ldn 't be a bit surprised." "A ll r ig h t, yo u'll do; report to Li eutenan t J. at the next town." (! have forgot ten the qu eer French nam e). The town wher e Lie utenant J h a d se t up hi s firs t-aid s tation was s mall a nd was located unco mforta bl y close to th e fro nt line. I arr ived there after a s hor t walk a long a camouflaged road a nd ver y soon after r epo rting to th e l ie ut ena nt I was sent to th e trenches as a first-aid man with the infantry. When I first arri ved a t my dug-o ut there was practica ll y no fi g hting of any kind going on .(It happened to be a very qui et sector). I was j ust beg inning to feel a t home a nd to wonder where S herman got the idea fo r his fa mous proverb. The Germans, however, mu st have r eceived w ord that a new rn a n had co me up a s they opened up w ith a co uple of batteries of a rtillery, eviden tly trying to see how close th ey co uld come to our du g-out without hi tt ing it. They missed it by abo ut one foot. While the sh ellin g was in prog re ss a gas a larm was sounded a nd I had the pleasure of trying to draw a breath through a rubber hose and a ca n of chemicals. F or a w hile I was u ndec ided wheth er to t hrow off the mask and be gassed or to keep it on a nd be s mother ed to dea th . Anyhow l kept it on a nd "pull ed through." Our next front wa s a more li vely a nd interesting one, the f a mous Ch ateau Thierry sector . It was here that my work as a first-aid man began in earnest. \Vh en our men took over the f ront line, t he Ge rm ans were r etreating rapidly but not peacefully. On t his front 1ny worst experience took place as I was advancing toward a woods with a company of infantry. \Ve had to go ac ross an open field (tr enches were no longe r used) in t he face of Gennun a r tiller y 1 rifl e an d m achine gun fire. Our only protection was to lie down flat every few minu tes and 11 let it rain ." I acqu ired such skill in dodgi ng s hell s that my companion one day remarked: 11 Good night man! How do you get down so flat ? 11 During t his period I dressed every kind of a wound from a slig htly grazed finger to a srnnshed in sk ull and every one in the same way. My hands were litera lly steeped in the blood of wounded doughboys. In spite of our hea\·y losses in killed and wounded we gained about fifteen kilo meter s of g round and a co nsid erabl e quantity of arms and arnmunition. Our next engagement was on the oissons front. This was verv much like the I\larne engagement in. regard to horrible experiences. I had the e~llel'iencc of being hit by a shell f r agment but fortunate ly the force of the piece was spent before it struck me nnd did not do much dam uge. I snw severa l aeroplane battles on this front. Probably the most spectncular of these events was the burning of five of our observation balloons by a lone German aviator. \V ~ \vere in a position where \YC could see OUI' whole line of balloons and could see the German attacking them one by one. The observer in ~ach_c..'lse had plenty of time to escape m h1s parachute, but the balloon itself. which is made of light inflammable material and held by a cable, wns lelt to the meiTy of the enemv.

over each one, swooped down upon it and left it a mass of flames. These scenes became quite common after a while, but on one occasion we saw an American observer who did not get away fast enough and the burning balloon fell on hjs parachute. The parachute being of light silk material was easily ignited and the observer was dashed to the ground and killed instantly. However, in witnessing these distressing scenes we had the consolation of knowing that our own aviators were disposing of a f ew German balloons in the same way. A li ttle incident which happened on this front wi ll forever r emain impressed on my memory. I had the misfortune one night to be se parated from my company and lost at the front. I think I s uffered more that night t han at any time during the wa r. I had sta rted out to take an infa n tryman to t he first-aid station. It was pitch dark an d , as we were not very familiar with the lay of the lan d, we took th e WTO n g r oad .

It is surprising to note the amount of interest evidenced by members of the Freshman Class when the name "Kangaroo Courf' is mentioned. Every afternoon finds a goodly number of freshies up on the third corridor ready and willing to venture into ~ th~ sacr ed and mystic courtroom presided over by the dignified and justice-loving upperclassmen.
Individual payments on the $10,000 .00 Endowment Insurance Poli cy which the College Club has taken out for the advancement of the St. Viator College Extension Club will be due on November 30th. Please make the fu ll annual payment of $5.00 on or before that date to your class treasurer or to the treasurer of the College Club. By attending to this matter promptly and completely you will save the officers of the Club an inestimable amount of work and worry. The example which the College Club is setting by maintaini~g this policy for the Ext ension Club is a splendid one and cannot be overlooked by our Alumni . If they see us paying for such a large policy out of our slender funds, they cannot but be inspired to give generously them selves. There is no better means of showing your lo ve fo r St. Viator than by aiding the Extension Club. Remember now, $5.00 from everyone on November 30th without fail.
Tom Rogers, of last year's Fresh.:. man class, was a guest of the school the last week end. Rumor has it that Tom may join us at the semester. From the way Freddy Salzberger , answers the dinner-bell, one woul d think that he was the hungriest freshie on the campus, but it so happens that meal time and mail-time coincide here. Freddy must have a very dear relati ve or friend in Str ea·. tor. The few spectators at the F r eshman-Sophomore flag rush, Sunday A . M., November 6th, w ere given a rare treat. R espectable clothing was suddenly reduced to disreputable ribbons and tatters. Not content with t he first charge, the freshies demanded another. The struggle this time was so terrific that a few more were forced to retire rather hurriedly from the scene in order to avoid too close contact with the chilly weather. The evidence shows a slight balance in favor of a sophomore win. A new instituton has arisen between our walls. We are a broadcasting s tation! The many gifted freshmen have banded together and on certain nights, appointed by the upperclassmen, they offer their original and varied selections to a hushed and appreciative audience over Station S. V. C. The microphone is electrically operated, the same being Warren McClelland's electric plate. The studio is rather a noisy place. In fact, it is doubtful if any radio listeners are able to hear the program because it is probably drowned out by the home audience. The station is very efficiently handled by t he manager - announcers: Fitzgerald, Harrington and Laenhardt. Among the extra ordinarily talented artists the following names appear : Hynds, O'Shea, Ryan, O'Neil, Martoccio, Conley, Brady, Graff, Foley, Flor in, Tucker, and a host of others.

FRESHMEN AND UPPERCLASSES STAGE FLAG RUSH First E vent of This Kind Proves Popular With Both Clasess On Sunday morni ng, November 6th, a new feature was added t o the et er nal struggle between the Freshmen and the Upperclassmen when a flag rush was staged on the football field to test t he speed and courage of the class representatives. The coveted flag (in reality an ancient pillow-case) was placed in the exact center ·of the gridiron, while the opposing groups were stationed at the goal line on either end of the field . The class that could carry the flag across the enemy' goal line was to receive the palm after the fray. All the preparations went off well enough, and, at a given signal the contestants dashed towards the center of the field. Of course t he fastest man got t he flag in his possession, but to get t he flag through the ranks of his opponents was a differe nt matter . T he struggle which ensued cannot be described for more r easons than one. No hard f eelings nor bruises resulted.

SL Bernard Hall Notes The brothers of St. Bernar d Hall wish to thank Mrs. Joseph Legris fo r her present of a set of massive candelabra. They are a splendid addit ion to the chapel furnishings . Mr. William Ke igher has been very kind and generous in donating a beautiful statue of the Litt1e F lower which has been placed in th e community room. A Sacred Heart statue has also been given by one who does not wiSh his name mentioned. The statue ha s been placed in the refectory. The chapel has also been enriched by the r eception of handsome white cope and veil, a set of red vestments, and one of white, and a very generous benefactor has presented the chapel with a r ich imported white vestment of the Little F lower. oldest clothes in their possesion , so the damage to clothing amounted t o almost nothing. After hvo char ges, it was found that the flag was torn to shreds, so the only means of determining which faction had been most successful was to total up the fragments and find out who had the majority of the pillow-case (pardon me, the fl ag) . Needles to say, the upperclassmen, with a majority in numbers, won the contest.
