If oremorh _, "' N the romantic French prov ,. J, :;" ince of Brittany it is a pious .

� custom among the humble fisherfolk to gather upon the strand, ere the departure of the fleets, to wish '' God-spe ci" to those who ar about to brave the dangers of the d ep. As the little fl ts, on by one, dip into the horizon, those who remain behind, with hearts filled with love and d vo tion, join the siohing waves in sw lling chorus to wish a fond "Bon Voyage." It is with like sentin,ents that we, the upper cla5s�1en of 1922, launch forth the initial volurn of "The Viatome," the St. Viator College Annual; and, as it leaves its sheltering haven, we, too, cry out in exultation "Bon Voyag , Bon Voyage."

clear! reAect the character of true hristian manhood. To my portal come the youth of many land to seek culture at my shrine and to drink deep of the vivifying draughts of knowledge. And they are not disappointed, for they receive freel of my maternal bounty; and going forth, they court success in the various dutie to which ature and ature's God has called them. They are the joy of my heart, they are my crown of glory. I am their good mother and they are my de oted sons. With the proud mother of the Cracci, I, too, am proud to say to the world, "These are my jewels ... If my temples are such that they inspire the good, the beautiful and the true, it is because my sons have made me a thing of grandeur. Yet, [ am more than wood and stone-I know not time or space, for I am the composite soul of Christian Principles.

Varsity Baseball and oocball (3, 4); Varsity Basketball (4); All State Tackle (3); Notre Dame ono gram (2); Chairman Entertainment Committee (4); Student Advisory Board (4); allege lub Board (4); Commencement Orator (4). Bennie is a man of all those nne qualities which make for the ideal college man. He has those trait of gentleman I y courtesy and delicacy that are a surpri e, perhaps, to tho e who never look for them from this big chap. Unobtrusive, quiet and considerate, he never conscious! hurt nor yet countenanced any de parture from high principle of stu dent life or athletic play. Tho e fine traits made him a sterling athlete not mere! a man Qf fine skill \ orthy or high praise, but a nghter nred v.1ith every enthusiasm for his college and a ju t opponent. We would not seem to exaggerate. We c2nnot, for those of u who have known Bennie, the friend, the student and the ath lete, there can be no peech to speak as we would peak.

Ass"t Editor Viatorian (4); Via f tome taf (4); Clas Fin. ec (4); las Treas. (3); Pres. College Club (4); tudent d i ory Boar I (4); ommencement Orator (4). Although Frank has spent only his junior and senior ears at St. Viator, he has I een one of her most loyal und most prominent students. To the ranks of our cla s he has added much di tinction b his talent for elocution an I oratory, by his ability as an organizer and leader, and by his great zeal for everything pertaining to the welfare of the Col lege and its student body.

"General's'" incerit , generosity and sympathy readily \ in for him the respect and admiration of all his associates. He is one who is , illing to make great personal sacrifices to lighten the burden of his fellowmen. To the Viatome taff he has been an invaluable asset, because of his keen contagious enthusiasm, his masterful skill in photography, hi excellent artistic taste, and his accurate sense of proportion. If "General .. follows the natural aptitude which he di plays for matheÂ matics and the empirical sciences. we need have no fear of his failure. The only disparaging thing ,ve can ay of him i that he expects us to believe all hi narrations or the peculiar phenomena he observed whil t in uth Dakota.

"Tis a rare gift-that gentle blend of high thought and kindly humor. His chuckle, contagious and appealÂ ing, tell of the depth of his gentle faith in humankind. Joe is the true (riend and the happy friend of us all. We who have met with him ha e been happier for that meeting.

MAY DEVOTIONS It is a sacred tradition at St. Viator·s to have special May devotions in honor of the Blessed Mother of God. Her various feasts throughout the year are kept with filial devotion and piety. Especially dear to all and no doubt as dear to Mary herself are the special prayers and hymns offered in her honor during the month of May. Every morning during the Collegiate Mass hymns are sung in her honor, and in the evening special devotions take place before her flower festooned alter and most worthy of all, a marked increase of daily communions is noticeable

OUR DISTINGUISHED GUEST It frequently happens in college life that the routine of class work is interrupted by the occurrence of some extraordinary event, or by the visit of some notable personage. It is well that such is the case, for these occa sions are often a source of inspiration to negligent and wavering students, and serve to revive their drooping spirits They are also a source of educa tion, for without them, intellectual development would be incomplete The past year was not an exception. On the contrary, it was a year especially remarkable for the variety of its entertainments, and the number of its distinguished visitors. Chief among the visitors of note was the Very Reverend Joseph Roberge, Vicar General of the Clerics of St. Viator. It was during the month of May that the faculty and students had the extreme pleasure and good fortune to entertain Father Roberge, a man who is well worthy of their unqualified respect and esteem. His genial smile and paternal solicitude found a ready response in the hearts of all with whom he came in contact. An informal reception was accorded him by the entire College, who united in bidding him a sincere welcome. After a brief speech of introduction and welcome by Father Bergin, President of the College, Father Roberge addressed to the students a few words of gratitude and of encouragement. He spoke, in a touching way, of his own interest and the interest of all the Viatorians in the progress and welfare of each and every one of their students. He told them, in a manner new and interesting to them, of the advantages and obligations of a Catholic education, and exhorted them to co-operate with their teachers in all their college activities, and thus do their share in bringing about their own best interests. His concluding remarks were greeted with an outburst of applause; for, with the approbation of the President, he granted them an ever-welcome grande conge.

FOURTH CORRIDOR BANQUET On May the 12th, a banquet was held in the college dining room at which the boys of the Fourth corridor were the hosts and the popular prefect, Bro. Sees, the honored guest. After a tasty repast was served a program of music both instrumental and vocal, of recitations and toasts was given, which was greatly enjoyed by all present. Several members of the faculty were the invited guests, and all report having spent a pleasant evening. The "400", although recruited mostly from the Academy students, showed themselves excellent entertainers, and much praise is due to their initiative in bringing to such a happy issue this special mark of appreciation of their hardworking and popular prefect.

ORDINATIOr S ater the month of May ha been one of ingular happin s To Alma for four of her faculty were rai ed to the dignity of the Holy Priesthood. The members to receive Holy Orders were Reverend Chri topher Marzano, c. s. v., Reverend Stanislaus Swikowski. c. s. v., Reverend Richard French, c. s. v., and Re erend Thomas E.Shea. Fathers Marzano and Swikowski made their preparator and collegiate studies at St. iator College, being graduated· with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1917. They completed their theological tudie at Columbus College, Chamberlain, South Dakota, and were ordained by th.e Right Reverend George W. Mundelein at the Holy 1 ame Cathedral in Chicago. Reverend Thomas E. Shea entered St. Viator College for his cla sical course and was graduated in 191 , receiving the degree of Bachelor of rt . In 1920 he received his Master of Arts degree. He entered upon his theo logical studies at thi institution and for a number of year was attached to the High School Faculty. Father Shea was ordained by the Right Re erend Edward M. Dunne, D. 0., at St. Mary's Cathedral, Peoria, Illinois, and sang his first mass at St. Columba·s Church, Ottawa, Illinois.

SANCTUARY SOCIETY PIC IC

After many weeks of anticipation, the crowning event of the year for the St. John Berchmans Altar Society arrived. On May 17, the members of the society started out on their annual picnic at Rock Creek. Car were provided for transportation, while many preferred to walk to the delightful grove which is one of the beauty spots of Illinois. Arrived at their destina tion, the first number on the program was prepared, and no one needed urging to partake of the bountiful repast spread upon the green. After dinner the time ,vas spent in the usual manner, some explored the woods and ravines, others rested in the shade of majestic trees, others com peted in athletic sports, while many refreshed themselves by taking a swim in the sparkling waters of Rock Creek. All too soon the afternoon passed, yet before the time for departure arrived pictures were taken of the picnickers. Then followed supper, after which the homeward journey was begun, and tired but happy the boys soon arrived at the college after a delightful day of relaxation. Much praise is due to the Moderator for his splendid work in training the Altar Boys, and to his valuable assistants, Brothers Sees and St. Amant. The guest of honor was the Rev. C. Marzano, recently ordained, \vho was for several yea rs the Moderator.

THE ORATORICAL CO TEST

The Annual Contest for the Bergin Oratory Medal was held in the College Auditorium on May 20, 1921. A hotly contested preliminary contest placed five men within striking distance of the goal. These were: Leon L. Drolet, Thomas Brunnick, Glen J. Powers, John J. McEnroe, and John E. Williams. On the evening of May 20, these men, with the exception of Mr. McEnroe, again clashed for the final honors. The contest was close and the type of oratory displayed would have done credit to men of maturer years and wider experiences. The subject, "The Ultimate Prevention of War,'· was treated from several divergent angles, and each man presented his ideas in a style of oratory of a type differing totally from those of his rivals. The conference

of the judges was prolonged-clear enough indication that the medal wa a thing of doubt even till the very end. The judges-the Re . J.P. O'Mahoney, F. A. Sheridan, J. . Williams, Thomas J. Lynch, and E. Cardinal-finally reached their deci ion. The medal was awarded to Mr. Leon L. Drolet of Bourbonnais, Illinois. Second honors were equally deserved by I 1r. John E. Williams, Kenebec, South Dakota, and Mr. Thomas J. Brunnick. Ottawa, Illinois. CORPUS CHRISTI The feast of Corpus Christi was observed on Sunday, Ma 29th, with the usual magnificence and splendor. A large concourse of laity and clerg marched in solemn procession, chanting hymns of praise to the Sacramental God, who was borne in triumph through the groves and avenues of the village. Temporar altars were erected at the college and at the convent of l otre Dame, where Benediction was given, and the ceremony was concluded with Solemn Benediction in the church of the Divine Maternity.

FIFTH ANNUAL HOME COMING

The fifth annual reunion of the St. Viator Alumni Association was held at the College on Memorial Day, May 30th. At an early hour on the preced ing day the Old Boys began to arrive, and the following morning found the Old Guard mustered for a grand home-coming. It was gala day on the campus, and everywhere was displayed that enthusia m and good fellowship characteristic of college days and college friendships that the years cannot steal nor distance dull. There was displayed that spirit so characteristic of an Alumnus of St. Viator-a spirit, ever old yet ever new, that makes one glad he is a privileged son of Alma Mater and fills the heart of the present-day student with the desire to be of that group and of that spirit. At 11 o'clock the St. Viator Batallion, R. 0. TC, marched upon the parade grounds for the final review and dress parade of the year. Headed by the batallion band and the national and cadet colors, the students passed in review before the visitors. In the reviewing stand were Very Reverend Father Bergin, c. s. v., President of the College; Captain Gilbert Burnett, U.S. I., Commandant of the post, and a number of distinguished Alumni. l mmedi ately after the review, Joseph J. Marron, Secretary of the High School gradu ating class of 1921, presented to the College, in the name of his class, the national emblem. The presentation is a tradition among the men of the High School graduating classes. Mr. Robert J. Heintz, Vice-President of the class, presented, in the name of his class, a bronze tablet to commemorate the foundation of the College and its Fiftieth Anniversary. At one o·clock the Alumni banquet was spread in the dining hall. John F. Cox, ·11, acted as .Toastmaster. Mr. Albert M. Kelly, ·01, responded to the Toast, "Play Ball . . and gave an eloquent account of the teams that made Viator a feared name in the baseball circles of Middle West in the early days. Rev. Fulton J. Sheen, ·11, in his toast, "Honorable Judges," recalled many pleasant and humorous incidents of his debating days, and dwelt on the superiority of Catholic Colleges in the field of debating. He stressed the need of Christian philosophy as the sane treatment of the problems which vex public thought and life today and the great aid of debating in fitting the Catholic graduate to meet these problems and in training him in the prin ciples of correct thought and sound principle. Father Tom o·Brien, one of the great athletes of the old days, in response to the toast. "The V Men,"

drew a picture of the trials and vicissitudes of the budding athlete in his quest for the sacred varsity letter. With his inimitable humor he dwelt upon the trials and struggles of t.he ambitious athlete who could not win the coveted mciriogram because of his physical handicap. In conclusion he traced the need of the athletic team to the student life of a college and urged their furtherest. advancement, in keeping with the growth of the college in other fields. Rev. Thomas Harrison, '13, spoke of the need of athletics in college life. He pleaded for loyal support of the Alumni in the athletic advancement of the college. Athletics are the great medium of interest for the prospective stu dent after the scholastic requirements are well considered, and are the most valuable advertising for the College. Doctor Burke responded to the toast, "Prefects and Other College Evils," and paid a beautiful tribute to the men of our Catholic teaching orders and to the Viatorians especially. He touched 4pcm the happy association that exists between students and faculty at St. Viator and the great benefits resulting from this mutual association and respect. Father Bergin, in the closing toast, spoke of the loyalty and generosity of the Alumni toward Alma Mater. He dwelt upon their unselfish devotion and· their support to the college and its interests. Immediately after the banquet the Alumni and visitors gathered at the site of the new swimming pool, where Father Tom Harrison broke ground for the beginning of constructive work. At a short business meeting of the Alumni Association, held in the Senior Club room, it was decided that the date of the annual home-coming should be transferred from the thirtieth of May to. the twenty-first of October. The election of officeq for the coming year was deferred until the first October meeting. COLLEGIATE DEBATE

The following is the Kankakee Daily News· write-up of the debate held in the K. C. Hall by College debaters: "The debate between two St. Viator College teams on the subject of the closed shop, held Tuesday evening, May 31st, in the Knights of Columbus Hall, ended in the affirmative being judged the victors. The audience was the judge, a standing vote deciding the debate. The question for the debate was: Resolved-That the People of the United States should support the American Federation of Labor in its demand for the Closed Shop. The Reverend J. W. R. Maguire, c. s. v , acted as chairman. "Each team consisted of three members, entitled to a constructive speech and a short rebuttal. The affirmative was composed of Joseph Bolger, John E. Williams, and Thos. Brunnick. The negative was taken by John McEnroe, Leon Drolet, and John H. Newman. "The affirmative contended the following points in favor of the closed shops: That the great majority of working-men nowadays is getting less than a living wage; that the workers have always been oppressed by the rich; that the laboring men have a moral and legal right to organize and to ask for a closed shop in order to protect themselves and give them a fighting chance with capital; that unionism depends on the closed shop; that the two are inseparable; that a man should not accept the profit from the sacrifice and cooperation of a group of men unless he takes part in the sacrifice and coopera tion of that group, which is what the non-union man is doing, the speakers contended.

--·

· ·- ----·-

"The negative stated that the closed shop is a menace to the public because of the under production ordered by the unions which makes for higher prices; that it gives too much power to the masses, who would thus have capital groveling in the dust and the few union .leaders would be m.asters of the country; that the closed shop would be unconstitutional, as every man has a right to liberty and the closed shop would force a man to act contrary to his convictions; that the closed shop is wanted by only a minority of the workers, and only four percent of the population of the United States; that ninety-nine percent of all labor troubles occur in closed shops; that a plumbers· union in Buffalo, New York, expressed itself as in favor of the open shop; that Herbert Hoover, Cardinal Gibbons and Theodore Roosevelt all condemned the closed shop; that under a closed shop plan the man who refused to become a unionist would be unable to obtain a job and would be forced into banditry, as would the man who was ejected from a union or the immigrant without, sufficient money to join the union; that the closed shop would react very unfavorably on the unions themselves, and that legislation is the only right way to settle labor disputes. "Father Maguire instructed the audience to judge the debate solely on the merits of the discussion, not on what their personal opinions on the ques tion were. Approximately two-thirds of the members of the well-filled house stood up and voted for the affirmative team."

ACADEMIC GLEE CLUB

On the evening of June I 0th, the Academic Glee Club, composed of boys of the Academic department, held a very formal meeting in the gymnasium. The meeting was in honor of Brothers francis and Cregan. After an address of welcome delivered by Lawrence, "Cupie," Reardon, in which he expressed the thanks and appreciation of the department, a handsome gold watch was presented to Brother Francis as an expression of gratitude for his untiring efforts in making the year a happy and successful one for his charges. The gift was a great surprise and Brother Francis endeavored to express fully his feeling of gratitude. In his speech of acceptance he dwelt upon the loyal cooperation of the boys throughout the year, and showed how their unse.lfish spirit of loyalty, as demonstrated in the presentation of this gift, was as great a factor in the year·s success as any effort of his. He thanked them especially for their forgiving nature in putting aside the unpleasant aspect, so neces sarily allied to prefecting, and praised their saving grace of humor that remem bered only the pleasant in all things. Brother Cregan thanked the boys for their loyalty and for the sterling obedience they at all times manifested. In this manner did the Academic Glee Club conclude the year's activities, manifesting in this last act of the year the spirit which had ever prompted the organization, a spirit of good fellowship and ,hearty cooperation. Much credit is due Tom Keeley, the founder of the club, tor his efforts in the club's success.

Scenes from Camp Viator

â€˘

· ·---·· ..

CAMP VIATOR (JUNE 27-AUG. 6) The influence o� St. Viator's and her spirit of helpfulness are not con fined to the scholastic year nor to houses of brick and stone. During the past three years there has been born and developed an institution which has During the past already been introduced to the readers of the Viatorian. summer, over three hundred bovs have been taken from the crowded streets of Chicago, and, after a period- of vacati_on at C9mp Viator, have returned home with a coat of tan and fond memories of enjoyable times. The boys came in crowds of from fifty to eighty. Some of them stayed the whole five weeks during which the camp remained in operation. The surroundings were ideal, and the order of the day so well arranged, that not one of the boys could find the least cause for complaint. The campers slept in regulation army tents, and their meals were served in regulation army style, viz., "Come and get it." In fact, the life at the camp was entirely free from the trammels of convention so irksome to the small boy. The day at camp was completely filled and there was something enjoyable going on all the time. The boys rose at seven o'clock and heard a :t\1ass celebrated by the camp chaplain, Father Lennartz. Breakfast followed. The remainder of the morning was devoted to policing of quarters, swimming and diving lessons, fishing or boat ing. After dinner there was usually _a long hike and a swim. Then the even ings a huge camp-fire was kindled and "song, story and joke" was the order of the hour. The personnel of the camp consisted of Father Lennartz, chaplain; Brother Bracken, Business Manager; Brother Newman, Director; Brothers Cracknell and McEnroe, assistants, and Mr. Marshall Gaines, cook. The camp has been such a marked success during the past three years that it has ceased to be an experiment and has passed into the list of perma nent institutions. It has been such a boon to the Catholic boyhood of Chicago and vicinity; it has been such a potent means of enlarging the scope of St. Viator's, and finally such a successful means of making prospective students acquainted with the College, that it deserves the support of every loyal student and alumnus.

OUR NEW PRESIDENT APPOINTED On August 15, 1921, we received the startling intelligence of the resigna tion of the Reverend William J. Bergin, c. s. v., president of the_ college, and the appointment of the Reverend Joseph D. Kirley, formerly president of Columbus College, Chamberlain, S. D , as his successor. In the short period that Father Bergin acted as president he had attached himself to all the stu dents, and the loss of so genial a friend and advisor was keenly felt. \Vhile Father Kirley comes to us as a relative stranger, those \vho know him have touted his virtues so highly that we feel that the destinies of St. Viator could not be entrusted to a more worthy individual. He brings to the office qualities of mind and heart and an aggressiveness that are essential to the growth of the institution. Father Kirley has before been connected with St. Viator College as prefect of Discipline, and is well known to the alumni of the institution for his ability as a director, a speaker and a kindly friend and advisor. The friends and alumni of St. Viator College may well be proud of the man called forth out of the golden west to direct the destinies of their Alma Mater.

FIRST FRIDAY DEVOTIONS The particular devotion of the students of St. Viator's College has ever been the devotion to our Divine Saviour in the Sacrament of His Love_ The students of the Viatorian schools had always been urged to the frequent reception of the sacraments, and since the promulgation of the Decree of Pius X of Saintly memory on Frequent and Daily communion, the· Holy Sacrament has been received daily by the vast majority of the student body. The First Fridays of the month are always kept with great solemnity. Throughout the day groups of students keep watch with Christ exposed upon the altar in the chapel of the Sacred Heart. In the evenings the Holy Hour Devotions take place, presided over by a priest of the Congregation, after which solemn Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament takes place.

OPENING DAY The schoiastic year of 1921-1922 was inaugurated on September 10th with impressive religious ceremonies. Solemn High Mass was celebrated in the college chapel by the Reverend J. P. Mulvaney, c. s. v, assisted by the Reverend J. V. Rheams, c. s. v., as deacon and the Reverend C A. Mar zano, c. s. v., as sub-deacon. Special prayers were offered for the success of the scholastic year. The number of students of both the high school and college departments this year exceeds all records. Students from every section of Illinois, as well as those whose homes are in Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Missouri, South Dakota, New York, Virginia, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Tennessee, and California are respresented. There are also students from the Philippine Islands, China, Mexico, Canada, Italy, Czecho-Slovakia, England, Ireland and France-boys from the four corners of the earth, all at home under the hospitable roof of St. Viator.

MONOLOGUES BY MISS DUFFIN

On September 22nd, a large audience at the Auditorium had the unalloyed pleasure of listening to Miss Cathryn Duffin. Miss Duffin is possessed of that pleasing personality that is one-half of any stage success. Her winning smile and genial good humor were as potent factors in her success as was the brilliance of her art. She had been, some months previously, a co-star with Theda Bara in "The Blue Flame." According to a large number of eminent critics, Miss Duffin completely outplayed the famous Theda in that production. Such an achievement naturally led the collegians to expect much of Miss Duffin. They were not disappointed. Her repertory included most of what is best in T. A. Daley, besides a few original sketches and some songs of Harry Lauder. She seemed to interpret the spirit of the piece into each character she under took to portray. Not only were the external peculiarities of the Irish and Italian characters delineated with mirth-provoking exactitude, but her interpretations went deeper than that. Miss Duffin is now with a new play of Oscar Hammerstein's, "Oh the Ground Floor." Her many friends in her own home town wish her al 1 the · success that her exceptional talents promise.

VARIOUS CLASSES ORGANIZE (SEPT. 29, 1921)

All the classes of the College Department have organized. Thus far, however, there have not been many class activities, other than the election of officers and the formulating of plans for future activities. The Seniors have elected the following officers to direct their efforts during the coming year:

THE CLASS RUSH

That there is a great deal of friendly rivalry between the different classes may be inferred from an event which took place October I 0th. The F_resh men issued a challenge to the Upper Classmen to take down their flag which was hoisted to the top of the flag pole. The Upper Classmen responded by putting an army in the field. Perhaps the Freshmen were outnumbered by about four men. However, the fact is that the Freshmen standard main tained its proud position for about fifteen minutes, and then its defenders were completely vanquished. The Freshmen were tied up and ingloriously forced to hobble around the campus to the accompaniment of jeers from the Upper Classmen and the laughter of the High School men. It had been pre viously arranged that the price of the Freshmen failure would be that the youngsters would suffer the indignity of having to wear green caps wherever they happened to be. It seems that the Upper Classmen suspect the Freshies are contemplating some form of revenge; anyway, they are going about with a curious frightened look. Final results of the fray-the Freshmen vanquished but secured a partial victory since they escaped the indignity of the green caps.

COLLEGE CLUB

The College Club was reorganized at the first meeting of the Club on October 5th. The following officers were elected to guide the destiny of the Club for the year: Mr. Frank Lawler, President; Mr. John P. Farrell, Vice president; Mr. Raymond J. Warner, Secretary; Mr. Vincent J. McCarthy, Treasurer. The Club is governed by an Advisory Board composed of Edmund Sweeney, Howard Kenney, Benedict Connor, J. Robert Langton, Paul Kur zynski, William Barrett, John Barrett, John Winterhalter and Charles Donnelly.

THE SIXTH HOME-COMING CELEBRATION

t the meeting of the Alumni Association which took place during the celebration of the .. Annual Homecoming Day .. for the scholastic year 19201921, it was decided for several urgent reasons to transfer the celebration of the Annual Alumni Homecoming Day to the patronal feast of the college. That those who advocated this plan were justified in their contention was exemplified by the unrivalled celebration of the Homecoming this year. ever since the inception of this feature as one of the principal feasts of the

College Calendar has there been seen such a vast or m:xe loyal g3thering of Alumni and friends who have come back to renew old friendships, amid scenes of which they once were a part. The host of visitors filled the various build ings, and they were gathered in little groups on the campus. The air was filled with happy anecdotes of days gone by that brought smiles to the faces of the listeners. Gray-haired men were boys again as dignified ecclesiastics, pompous professional men and staid business men recalled the pranks which they, as students, had played in the golden day's of twenty years ago. There were many younger faces, too, but all-young and old alike-reAected the same pleasure at their homecoming. At half-past nine, Pontifical Mass was celebrated in the College Chapel. Rt. Rev. Monsignor Legris, D. D., '78, was celebrant and was assisted by the Rev. William J. Keefe, ·06, of Clinton, Ind., as deacon, and the Rev. Joseph Jordan of Taylorv.ille, Ill., as sub-deacon. The sermon was preached by the Rev. B. J. Shiel, '06, of Holy ame Cathedral, Chicago. Father Shiel dwelt on the significance of the day, the example of St. Viator and the glorious vocation of the Christian educator. The College Choir, which has been trained by Prof. Herschel Yocom, gave an inspiring rendition of Leonard's Mass in E Flat. The soloists were Mr. Brankin, Mr. Suprenant, Mr. M. Mroz, Mr. L. P. St. Amant and Mr. Yocom. To Professor Yocom great credit is due for his untiring efforts in the preparation of the music for the occasion. Miss Loretta Bradley, of Kankakee, presided at the organ and Professor Gaudiose Martineau directed the orchestra. Mr. Thomas Brunnick, Mr. Napoleon Bernier and Mr. Ray mond Warner were the violinists and the cello was played by Mr. Ralph Barroso. The Surplice Choir, composed of fifty soprano and alto voices, was directed by Rev. F. A. Sheridan, c. s. v. This branch of the Altar Society formed in procession from the vestry and marched to the sanctuary singing the processional, "Praise Ye the Lord." During the Mass, the Surplice Choir sang the s&cred responses as well as "Tantum Ergo" at the Offertory and "Veni Creator" at the Sermon. "Savior Blessed Savior" was rendered as Recessional in a very creditable manner. At this meeting the election of officers took place,· with the following results: Rt. Rev. Alexander J. McGavick, D. D., '89, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago, \Vas appointed Honorary President. Dr. Alexander Burke, '05, Chicago, Illinois, was elected to the presidency of the association to succeed the Hon. James G. Condon, '91, who for a number of years so loyally and faithfully served in that capacity. Dr. Burke is one of the best known and most loved of the Alumni, and his selection will prove to be a popular one. Dr. Burke will be assisted by the following: Vice-presidents: Rev. John T. Bennett, '90, St. Basil's Church, Chicago, I II.; Charles Carney, '02, Paducah, Ky., Thos. Hughes, M.

LIEURANCE'S SYMPHONIC ORCHESTRA

On October 28th, a classical program was rendered by the Lieurance Symphonic Orchestra. Each member of this troupe is a musician of the highest order. Compositions of all the famous moderns were interpreted with a startling artistry. Perhaps the best encomium that can be tendered to this organization is the fact that all through the program not even the smallest boy in the Academics gave signs of restlessness. One would hardly expect that in so long and heavy a program that the younger boys would not become tired, but throughout the performance the entire audience seemed in a spell of attention.

LECTURE BY PRINCESS NIAWANA

On October 31st, we had the extraordinary pleasure of listening to a lecture by a real Indian Princess. Princess Niawana, of the Ojibwa tribe, spoke on the manners and customs of her race, and of the oppression to which the Red Race has been subjected since the coming of the white man. She recited a number of her own poems, which deal with the innate nobility and woeful wrongs of her people. She concluded with a plea for the according of citizenship to that race which most deserved it. \Ve admit foreigners of every land under the sun·, including negroes, Chinese and Japanese to the rights of citizenship, and yet the Red Man, who was here first, and from whom the whole country has been wrested, is ignored. After her lecture, Princess Niawana exhibited some samples of Indian handiwork in beads, quills, stone and furs She explained the process of manufacturing all the various articles_ Princess Niawana is a graduate of Carlisle, and her perfect enunciation and choice diction seemed incongruous with her costume. She is a charming young lady and her witty comments on the inconsistencies of white people brought forth peals of laughter from an appreciative audience_

Miss Alice Frazier, a young lady from Kankakee, whose great-grand mother was a full-blooded Chippewa Indian, was also on the program. She sang several beautiful selections, and was accompanied on the piano by Miss Loretta Bradley, of Kankakee. Prof. H. D. Yocom rendered some fine compositions of his own ori the piano, and, accompanied by Miss Bradley, sang some very well appreciated bass solos. GLEE CLUB AND CHOIR This year we are fortunate in having as professor of voice-culture and piano, Mr. Herschel D. Yocom. He has trained a choir of which any college might be proud. On St. Viator's Day the choir covered him with glory by their masterful rendition of Leonard's Mass in E flat. Nor is sacred song - the only accomplishment of these versatile young men. As a Glee Club, they are interested in the rendition of classical choruses and quartets as well as popular music. Frequently during the year they delighted students and faculty, as well as many visitors, by their pleasing musical programs

ARMISTICE DAY On November l l th was celebrated Armistice Day. There are many among us to whom the first Armistice Day came while they were yet in the trenches. There are some dear friends for whom the first Armistice Day came too late. And all at St. Viator's celebrated the day whole-heartedly; celebrated it with pride in the past and hope for the future; for what institution has a better war-record than St Viator·s, "We've kept the faith, we've seen it through. Our myriad brave lie dead with you In Fli:lnders Fields." The program of the day was in keeping with the spirit of the occasion, and was a magnanimous tribute to those who sleep in Flanders Fields, as well as to honor those who returned wearing the laurels of victory. A solemn Requiem High Mass for all the soldier dead of America was celebrated in the College Chapel by the Rev. E. M. Kelly; the Rev. G. P Mulvaney delivered an elo quent patriotic sermon for the occasion. In the evening a patriotic program was presented in the gymnasium which was fittingly decorated in the national colors. The following is the program given under the auspices of the College Club: 1. Solemn Requiem Mass for dead soldiers. Sermon by Father Mulvaney. 2. Program: 1. My Country, 'Tis of Thee. 2. Address of Welcorne-Francis J. Lawler. 3. The Day We Celebrate-Rev. G. Galvin, c. s. v. 4. Community Singing. 5. Address-"Who Pays the Price 1 "-Rev. W. J. Bergin. 6. Community Singing. 7.

SONG AND DRAMATIC RECITAL BY EDWARD BRIGHAM On November 20th, Mr. Edward Brigham, the famous New York Basso profundo, gave a song and dramatic recital which was greatly appreciated. Possessed of a marvelous bass voice, and a musical temperament that enables

him to bring out the fullest ·import of his songs, Mr. Brigham gives one a new and more exalted idea of a song. We usually regard a song as a poem which has been set to music. Mr. Brigham's songs are outpourings of a great soul which is somehow infused into the souls of the audience to make them greater and nobler. His selections on the piano were far from ordinary, and his dramatic readings found a sympathetic audience.

ST. CECELIA'S DAY-SPECIALTY PROGRAM

On November 22nd, our versatile Professor Yocom presented a "Specialty Night." He gave an extremely funny imitation of the world-famous vocal contortionist who had disturbed our peace of mind a week previous. His forced gestures and vocal extravagances swept the audience with roars of laughter. Taken in all, the program was one of unusual success. It showed that the home talent can put a program "over" with more spirit and goodwill than can the temperamental hireling_ The Program: I. Professor Yocom-Specialty. 2.

"THE MOLLUSC" A Comedy in Three Acts By HUBERT HENRY DAVIES On Sunday, December 4th, we had the pleasure of seeing "The Mollusc· presented by a New York troupe of unusual merit. This comedy by Hubert Henry Davies is intensely interesting even up to the final curtain. It is the story of a woman whose indolent mode of living had gradually unfitted her for life involving activity. Her brother, live wire type, arrives from Colorado and after many failures finally succeeds in effecting her reform. The plot is neat and clever, the acting superb.

were greeted with applause and an appropriate song by the Kiwanis Club. Rev. J. W. R. Maguire, of the Athletic Board of Control, acted as speaker, introducing each member of the team, and giving a short sketch of his gridiron achievements. An enjoyable dinner was partaken of, after which the members of the team held a special session, electing Vincent McCarthy, our star quarter back, to pilot the 1922 squad. The appreciation of the event was fittingly voiced in the familiar gridiron cry, "r ine for K.iwanis...

BEILHARZ-IMPERSONATOR

On Thursday, the 15th of December, Beilharz, the entertainer, graced our stage. Mr. Beilharz possesses a voice of wonderful imitative powers. His make-ups are so clever, that he seems to assume a completely different personality with each change. He presented the following program very effectively. I. Bald heads versus beards. 2. David Harum-Christmas morning. Mark Twain. 3. The Aower garden-from "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." 4. A school boy's composition.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS INITIATION Sunday, January 22nd, St. Viateur's Council admitted to its ranks another class of candidates This class was much smaller than any we have seen in the past years, but despite their small number they promise to be a great asset in keeping St. Viateurs an active and distinguished council. St. Viator College again presented her share of the candidates. Among her number were J. E. Williams, C.S.V.;J. E. Suprenant, C.S.V.;J. J. McEnroe, C.S.V.; F. Brankin, J. McGovern, E. Wood, L. rban, A Denoyer, all of whom are numbered among her students this year, as well as Louis Pluth and Harold Quigley, two of her former students. Rev. Thomas J. Lynch, C.S.V., took an active part in the degree work.

THE ANNUAL SPIRITUAL RETREAT

Beginning Sunday, January 29th, and continuing for three days, the students of the college and high school departments made their annual retreat. The retreat master was Father Edwin, C.P., a masterly speaker, and a man of a deep spiritual fervor. Father Edwin is Director of the Scholastics at the Passionist Retreat of the Immaculate Conception, Norwood Park, Chicago, and in his talks to the boys at the several conferences given during the retreat he showed the results of long and intimate relation with boys, and a deep insight into the mind of the average lad. Immediately after the conclusion of the High Mass which marked the end of the Retreat, he bestowed the Papal Blessing on all who had made the Retreat, thus bringing to its conclusion one of the most successful retreats that has been held at St. Viator College in recent years. ALUMNI DANCE The greatest social event of the year was the dance given in the College Gym, on Monday night, February the twentieth. This dance was given under the auspices of the Kankakee Chapter of St. Viator·s Alumni Association. The gymnasium was a beautiful sight with its masses of purple and gold streamers, covering the entire ceiling and walls of the gym. The same color scheme was also carried out for shades for the lights and made the gym a very pretty sight. The rest room with its fountain, morris chairs and variations

of shaded lights was a real haven of rest for the dancers during the intermissions. An enticing lunch was served in the refectory. The music was furnished by the Hoffman Orchestra of Peoria. It was far beyond the expectations and so greatly appreciated was it that the patrons requested the orchestra to play an extra hour. Everyone hopes that we will have the pleasure of dancing to Hoffman·s music at our next dance. Much praise is due to those who spent many untiring hour in decorating the gym, and to the other committees who gave their best efforts .in making this dance the paramount social event of the year. The following served as patrons and patronesses for the dance: Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Lecour Mr. and Mrs. William Babst Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Lecour Hon. and Mrs. J. T. Burns Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lecour Dr. and Mrs. W. P Cannon Mr. and Mrs. F. Legris, Sr. Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Fitzgerald Mr. and Mrs. T. Legris Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Fortin Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

Hogan Mr, and Mrs. J J. Rondy Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Joubert Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Roth Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Langan Mr. and Mrs. Henry Ruel Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Leahy

THE ACS BANQUET

On the 21st of February, the Academics gathered in the Faculty Dining Room for a banquet. The hall was tastefully decorated in the national colors, and Old Gold and Purple. The menu, arranged by Bro. Waszko, was very tasteful, and offered a pleasant change to little palates jaded with college fare. During the course of the meal, music was furnished by Messrs. Creel, Brunnick and Warner. · The main business of the evening followed the meal. Throughout the history of the department prefects have been striving to infuse a "school spirit" into the department-that spirit which makes a boy boast of his school, his department, and its work. In the past, this spirit has been stronger in the Academics than in the other departments of the institution. It was for the purpose of fostering this "get-together-and-know-each-other." spirit that the affair was planned. How well this project succeeded could be observed by the cheers, the enthusiasm, the pep of the smaller boys during the great Academic game with Valparaiso. The banquet had indeed borne fruit. Mr. Walter McGraw introduced the speakers, his ready wit and perpetual smile counting a great deal for his general effectiveness. The Academic speakers, including Masters McFawn, Cribben, Collins, Sullivan, Bowe, Kernan, responded in their turn. Each paid tribute to the work of the men who are laboring in their behalf, and each emphasized the need and advantages of co-operation in the affairs of the department. Bro. McEnroe spoke at length; his jokes and stories were well received, and he finished with a tribute to Bros. Cregan and Sees. Bro. Waszko spoke of the advantages of a well rounded out education. Bro. Cregan rose in a storm of applause and delivered a very eloquent address in making a final appeal for the strengthening of individual loyalty to the department and Alma Mater. Then following rounds of cheers for the sponsors of the feast, and the department heads, the boys retired.

-·- ··-WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY Feb. 22, 1922 The solemn celebration of the natal day of the great American liberator is one of the sacred traditions of St. iator College. Especially is this true since the close of the Great World War, in \yhich Alma Mater sacrificed a score of her valiant sons and numbered among the armies of the Allies nearly a thousand others. The ceremonies of the day were begun with the cele bration of a Solemn Mass of Thanksgiving in the Chapel of The Sacred Heart. In the afternoon a patriotic program was given in the College auditorium under the auspices of the Senior Class of 1922. The program consisted of several patriotic speeches interspersed with patriotic selections by the College Orchestra and by well-rendered vocal numbers. In the evening the College Glee Club and College Orchestra, under the direction of Professor Hershel D. Yocum, Dean of the Department of Music, entertained a large audience with the following program. That the enter tainment was a marked success is best shown by the fact that each number received a hearty encore. Especially delightful were the whistling solos by Miss Eunice Cartier, the dances by little Miss Pahnke, and the solos by Mrs. Benjamin Menard of Kankakee.

VISOCCHI FLORENTINE TRIO

When Mr. Casey introduced the Visocchi Florentine Trio to the student body on Sunday njght, March 5th, he informed them that they might anticipate an evening of pleasure, but he did not vouchsafe just how delightful the performance would be. Were we to question any of the student body or faculty, who attended this number of the Lyceum Course, the register of their satisfaction wou.ld be near the perfect mark.· The instrumental and vocal program that Mr. Visocchi, self-styled grouch, and the Misses Bennett and Ring rendered, was one of the best entertainments presented to the student body this year. Mr. Visocchi skilled on the concertina and his uniting a few of the common popular airs to the more classical selections was highly appre ciated by his audience. His seemingly stolid, immobile facial expression and his sly suggestive glances were so mirth provoking that ripples of laughter pulsated through the audience despite the excellent playing. Miss Bennett's skillful playing of the violin and Miss Ring's vocal ability delighted the audience immensely, as also did the latter young lady's presentation of one of Booth Tarkington's "Penrod" stories. While the whole evening was tremendously enjoyed the climax of the performance occurred when Miss Ring sang "Red Head." So thoroughly enjoyable and pleasing was this Lyceum number that not a few hesitated to pronounce it as the best program that we have had the pleasure to witness, not only this year, but also in the last few years, and also to express the desire that future courses might be similar to this one and just as pleasing as was the Florentine Trio.

ACADEMY SENIORS' BANQUET

On Monday evening, March 6th, the Fourth High class of St. Viator College gave their first banquet in the college dining hall. This occasion enabled the entire class to assemble and forget, for a. few hours, the little troubles which they encounter every day, by partaking of a sumptuous repast and an intel lectual banquet. It was carried through in excellent style and does credit to the arrangement committee and- class. Father Bergin, C.S.V., spoke on the need of a well organized class which would not only benefit its members while here, but also after they had left St. Viator for the broader paths of life. Brother Glenn Powers, the class moderator, spoke of the possibilities for the remaining months of '22. His remarks were interesting and enjoyed by all. Several members were then called upon for short talks.

GRAND OPENING OF THE HA:CF-MILLION DRIVE

The formal opening of the Extension Fund Drive took place in Chicago, on April 3rd. The ceremonies attending the formal opening of the effort drew a crowd of 800 alumni and friends which taxed the capacity of the huge Elizebethan Room of the Congress Hotel Monday evening. Enthusiastic applause punctuated the forceful addresses of priests and laymen, augmented by the organized cheering of the picked rooting section from the college. It was a typical college night-grads of '85 and ·95 mingling with grads of '15 and '21, while stirring music, song · s and the staccato cheers-of the col legians brought back memories of campus days. Everyone was merry with the pleasure at meeting old friends, but at no time was the significance of the meeting lost sight of-the raising of a half million dollar fund to enable St. Viator College to expand and carry on. Interposed among the speeches were cheers by the college men, led by

Cheer-master Maroney, and the official campaign song, led by Miss Ethel Hottinger, assisted by the college chorus. The Elizabethan Room was beautifully decorated with the St. Viator colors, purple and gold, and silken American flags with purpte pendants decked the speakers· table. "V" pennants were suspended from the chandeliers and on the wall panels were the official campaign posters. Russ Wilkins with his six "Melody Boys," using two pianos and other innovations in syncopation, furnished the music for the dancing which followed the program.' Russ and his outfit made a pronounced hit with their gold and black instruments and their weird instrumentation. It had been noised about that there was to be hoofing, and most of the alumni heeded the injunction to bring mothers, wives, sisters and sweethearts. The representation from the college, under the supervision of the Rev. John W. R. Maguire, C.S.V., through the kindness of Father Kirley, was permitted to take a later train than had been planned. The letter men, in their white or purple sweaters, made a striking appearance, and the delegation contributed noise enough to give the impression of several hundred instead of some sixty voices. Prior to the meeting the undergrads were tendered a dinner at the Canton Tea Garden. The personnel of "the gang" is as follows: Cheer Leader, Joseph Maroney, Vincent J. McCarthy, Howard Kenny, William Keenan, Edmund A. Sweeney, James Cavanaugh, William Barrett, Walter Fitzgerald, Francis Casey, Charles Donnelly, Raymond Marvel, Edward Farrell, Leroy Winterhalter, Stanley Zimmerman, Leland Finske, Lewis Murphy, Charles McGinnis, Benjamin Cox, John Connor, John Jontry, John Lyons, William Doyle, Francis I.

VIATOR PARADE GIVES KANKAKEE LAUGHING TREAT College Procession on April 8, Full of Clever and · Merry Conceits

An army with banners took Kankakee Saturday, April 8, the city surrendering without a struggle to the onslaught of merriment. The army was composed of the entire student body of St. Viator College and the banners-dozens of them proclaimed to Kankakee and the world that the college was going to have a new swimming pool and also a $500,000 Extension Fund. Those who have witnessed many college calithumpians announce that, except in numbers, they have never seen anything which outdid it in cleverness of conceits or elaborateness of costuming. The collegians formed at the Court House Square and moved west in Court Street to East Avenue, south in East Avenue to Station Street, east to Schuyler, north to Court Street and back to their starting point. Thousands grinned, chuckled and applauded all along the line of march. It is questionable if anything could have been done in Kankakee to impress the townspeople more than this merry carnival put on as only college men can do it. In spite of lowering skies and threatened showers, it was a big success.

·--- The marchers were preceded by a herald in green and the Stars and Stripes, guarded by Uncle Sam and a soldier and sailor. Among the floats prominent in the half-mile long line were The Mardi Gras, the baseball team "in action," a grotesque horse carried by students, a travesty on "Kelly Pool" in which a huge bath _tub did service as a natatbrium, an ancient fire depart ment-vintage of "68-an historic barouche filled with gladiators, pirates and harem beauties, these and other devices too numerous ·to mention were received with laughter and applause all the way. It is difficult to think of any class or nationality that did not appear in character. Matadors, fl !:l ppers, negroes on "White Mules," babies in prams with IO-gallon nursing bottles, burly micks with nobby shillalahs, a tiny dog with a monstrous cable leash which required two boys to bear along, goats with placards, ponies, bicycles, sheiks, bandits, undertakers, Venetian nobles, court ladies, Mexicans, bolsheviks, the 500-pound Hercules, tramps, young ladies of the period with galoshes, these and scores of others made up the gay parade. The shining new Ford Sedan, donated by Ray F Mudd, which is to make "Kelly Pool" a reality, brought up the rear, with Coach Herbert Bushell at the wheel. One of the symbolical numbers was a band of Italian laborers with shovels and gunny sacks, preceded by a large sign which read "We're going home to get ours-Scoop if it's easy, dig if it's hard." The "bag and shovel" idea has been featured extensively in the campaign everywhere, a taking idea suggested by Mrs. Mary Frances Kern who is assisting Father Kirley in the effort. Pathe Weekly had a staff photographer on the job who took more than 200 feet. of film of interesting sections of the parade. This will appear shortly in the news pictorial issued by that pioneer film company. The entire affair was conducted under the supervision of the Rev. E. M. Kelly, C.S.V., director of Athletics, at St. Viator College.

THE PARADE IN MOVIES

On April 24, a large number of the College students took advantage of the opportunity of viewing the Moving Pictures of the Parade staged in Kanka kee, on April 8th. The students enjoyed the hospitality of the management of the La Petite Theatre where the picture was shown, and after the performance gave nine "Rahs" and a "Tiger" for Mr. Cleary. They report that they were more than satisfied in viewing their own antics on the silver screen.

FETE BOHEME

On April 26th, the students were the guests of a dancing party, staged for the benefit of the Half Million Drive, by Kankakee friends of the College. The Fete Boheme was under the management of Arsene Denoyer, and was easily the dance novelty of the season.

THE VIATOME The "Viatome," the official year book of St. Viator Coll�ge, makes its initial appearance with this issue. For a number of years the expediency of publishing a college annual was realized, and many plans formulated for the furtherance of the project. It was not deemed advisable to launch the undertaking _until the present Junior and Senior Classes, under the supervision of Rev. J. A. Williams, sponsored the idea of publication, with the result that "The Viatome" is now a happy reality. Mr. Joseph A. Bolger holds the honor of naming the Annual, his suggestion winning over many competitors.- The name is com posed of the first three letters of Viator, to which is affixed the Greek word "tome," which means book. The staff has striven to make the Year Book all that its name signifies-· St. Viator's Book.

THE VIATORIAN The "Viatorian" is the student magazine of St. Viator ·college. The paper was founded by the late Professor Joseph Murphy, a member of the College Faculty during the years 1880-1888. For a number of years it was known as the St. Viator College Journal, and was a bi-lingual periodical published twice a month. Several years later the scope of the paper was enlarged, and at the suggestion of the Rt. Rev. A. ) . McGavick, now Bishop of La Crosse, Wis., then a student in the Seminary Department, the name was changed to "The Viatorian." "The Viatorian" is the fiJth oldest Catholic college magazine published in the United States. At present the paper is published six times a year, and is published under the direction of a faculty member assisted by a student board of editors, and it is a repository for the expression of student views and literary criticism. Critics have acclaimed "The Viatorian" as one of the foremost college publications in the United States.

.. . REV. E. M. KELLY, C.S.V. Director of Athletics St. Viator· rapid advance athletically in State circles dates back to the appointment of Father Kelly to the directorship of athletics. Through his efforts the school was admitted to the Little 1 ineteen Conference of lllinoi College. His enlightened policy, ideals of sportsmanship, insistence on clean. sportsmanlike competition have placed St. Viator high in Conference rank. The rules of eligibility and the scholastic requirements of the Conference are insisted on among Viator men and the athletes are required to meet the academic demands of the College Scholastic Board. Father Kelly has ever tried to advance St. Viator to more representative athletic standing and has made continued effort to engage more ambitious schedules. In the coaching field he has developed the greatest ball team in our athletic history. Students and lumni of St. Viator College may rest assured of the further advance of their school under Father Kelly's enlightened policy.

THOMAS FINNEGA

Those who have known Tom Finnegan as the greatest end that ever represented St. iator College on the gridiron have come to know him a the finest football mentor in our athletic history. Men of national reputation in the game have coached iatorian machines in the past, but none have given us the teams that Coach Tom Finnegan ha developed in his three years at Sc. Viator. Back in I 915 and 1916 Tom was the greatest college end in lllinois and the unanimnus choice for All- tate honors those years. In 1916 he was chosen captain of the All-state, the first Viatorian gridman to win that coveted position. During his playing days he was universally conceded the most brilliant forward pass receiver in the Little ineteen, establi_hing a world" record for the individual player of thirteen touchdowns in a single conte t. On the defense his da h and courageous attack played havoc with opposÂ ing interference and carried him far into the opponentsÂˇ playing area to blanket the well formed offense.

The war brought Finny's brilliant football career to an end, and he sailed with the first American soldiers to leave this country for the war zone. He fought in every major offense with the First Division, and closed an enviable record on the lines in the ervice of the Presidential Guard.- Immediately upon his return Tom was elected to the coaching staff at the College. If one considers that Finny took charge of the football in the season following the war, when colleges were everywhere experiencing a slump in student enrollment, when the athletes of pre-war days were still in service or withdrawn from college because of the war interlude, he can readily appreciate the difficulties that the new coach was called on to overcome. That year stamped him as a coach. Out of green material he forged a machine that was feared, that held the strong Augustana, runners-up for honors, to a 6-6 tie. In three years' time Finny has worked quietly and well and his work this season has demonstrated his effective methods. This season gave the College its first crew of championship and a brilliant galaxy of stars. Tom has developed fast. shifty teams that have overcome the handicap of weight and soundly thrashed opponents. o team ever equalled his in the defense against the forward and his men arc trained to think fast and drive for the point of play on defense. As a trainer he stands high and he sent his men into every game in fine physical trim. In his three years St. Viator has risen steadily in the football esteem of the State and is now a feared foe on every schedule. ext season should see the greatest football team of our history and to Tom Finnegan will go a goodly sh3re of the honor and a full measure of our gratitude.

HOWARD BUSHELL, BASKETBALL In the appointment of Howard Bushell to the coaching staff, as basketball mentor, St. Viator has a guarantee of high success in the gym sport. Howard Bushell has been a brilliant performer and the success of last season has assured us that he is a no less wonderful coach. Though a new man in the coaching game he brought into his work all the cleverness, skill and initiative that marked his days as a player. Bushell's name long stood for a superior style of basket play in Illinois intercollegiate ball. He was one of the fastest forwards in the State in his last two years, a man against whom every opponent built a different style of defence. He was a marked man wherever he went, yet a man who never failed to give all he had in the interest of his college. To his exceedingly fast Aoor game he added brilliant dribbling ability, aptness in placing passes, an uncanny speed in getting the ball away, and an elusive shift that always kept him in the open. As a marksman he was perhaps one of the most finished shots in the Conference. He played a strong scoring game on short puts but was most feared from the distance. On the Aoor he was a clever leader, quick to diagnose attack and defence and as quick to offset them. His coolness under close guarding went far in his scoring game and made him a feared man. Bush is a three letter man, winning his monogram in football, basketball and baseball. If playing ability and sterling qualities of leadership are worthy of precedent this man will give the school its greatest basketball years. St. Viator has always been feared on the lined floor, and its name coupled with that of Bushell will be doubly feared.

RAYMOND T. MARVEL, ATHLETlC MANAGER There is a glamour about championships, a certain satisfaction in praise of friend and foe, in the comraderie of fighting men th3t rep3ys the tired athlete when the' season is over. The � ---- - · cheering fan yields whole souled hero-worship, and the opponent grudged praise. But in it all, one is prone to forget the manager who has had much to do with the teams, and who has given not a little for the teams' success. Ray lvlarvel has managed many teams in the last few years' athletic endeavor of the school, and man aged them well. The long fight for schedules, the monotonous round of cor respondence, the careful diplomacy under trying conditions, the thousand and one details of trips have been his lot, and in all he has demonstrated remarkable ability. Along with the men of the team, he has struggled for the higher recognition of his college in advanced athletic circles. But his efforts were confined to the far less interesting but as important tedium of clerical effort in the Director of Athletics· office. A full measure of thanks is due "Yutch'' Marvel for his ·effort in behalf of athletics at St. Viator. The student body have come to admire him for his genial good humor, his startling cleverness and enthusiasm in student activity. More is due him for his earnest labor in the success of the teams, for his con tinual fight for more representative schedules, and for his record as manager of four championship teams.

G. POWERS, Scribe

Not only has Glenn Powers been a rabid fan who has helped to win games by his ardent and enthusiastic rooting, but he also has rendered whole-hearted assistance in promoting St. Viator Athletics by spending many trying and weary hours <;om posing and compii ing the "dope sheets." The highest tribute to his success along these lines has been paid by the universal satisfaction with which the anxious fans have eagerly received and absorbed his many skilfully produced articles, reviews and records. His thorough knowledge of the various branches of athletics, his intimate understanding of the characters of the athletes, his facile use of the pen, his quickness to sense all humorous situations, 2nd his adeptness in presenting them well qualify him for the position of sporting editor.

JOHN A. LYNCH All-State Guard, Captain Varsity Football 1921 Jack Lynch is but another representative of the high type of athlete and student wh9 has represented St. Viator in the athletic world. A man of much expe rience, Jack played a style of hard, clean football this season that won for him the respect of foe, the praise of critic and selec tion as All-state guard. In the capacity Jack evidenced talents . of leadership that · stamped him as a generous foeman and ideal. leader. He never took advantage of inferior opposition nor sought quarter in the foe of superior ability, but stood ready at all times to be judged and accepted on his ability alone. His· finest he always gave. In his line play Jack showed fine talent as 9 tackle. A strong player, he was a hard man to keep from a play, a difficult man to box out. He gave the man he faced a world of trouble and repeatedly broke through to stop the opposing backs before they were fairly started. He was a fast man clown under punts, often beating his ends to the runner. On the defense he could be called upon consistently to make ground for his backs. Off the field he was the same gener ous, gentlemanly, clean Jack, with as many friends among both student body and faculty as any athlete in Viator's history. He would willingly trouble himself to accommodate someone; with his ready smile and good nature constantly at your service. Both on the· field and off he stood for all that was gentlemanly and sportsmanlike. His cour tesy to officials, loyalty to team-mates, his courage and fight, his just estimation of opponent and his courteous treatment of all won for him every commendation. Jack plays his last year of collegiate ball next season and his college looks forward to further honors for this really fine player, and his host of friends in faculty and student body predict for him a brilliant future.

VI CENT J. McCAR THY All-State Halfback, Captain-Elect Varsity Football 1922 Few men hold higher place in the esteem of faculty and student body of St. Viator College than Vincent McCarthy. He has not only brought honor to his school in the athletic world, but stands as a repre sentative of those ideals of loyalty, honor and sportsmanship of which our school may well be proud. For two years he has given the school the finest of a truly fine athlete and gentleman and with the close of this season his service and ability find recognition in his choice for All-State honors and his selec tion by Eckersall as one of the five best quarterbacks in the Middle West. To have gained this latter recognition argues no little ability for men of minor colleges must neces sarily demonstrate superior grid talent to claim the attention of super-critics. But to those of us who have seen Vine play, there can be no doubt as to the sincerity of this choice. A brilliant open field runner,. he brought the stands to their feet time and again with his spectacular dashes through a broken opposition. At all times Mac demonstrated cool strategy and clever generalship, handling his team with sureness and a calm appraisal of the opposition. For three years he was the stellar passer of our especially brilliant for ward pass combination, handling the oval ea·sily and covering his point of attack cleverly. In Galesburg, he was acclaimed the greatest forward passer that had ever performed on Lombard field. But it is not this alone, that Mac plays football well. He has brought into his playing those qualities that make for the finest type of athlete and student. His loyalty and his devotion 'to his team-mates have made him a courageous and respected leader. His honest respect for opponent, his never-say-die spirit against strong opposition, his honorable sports manship have won for him praise of oppo nent, official and critic. These fine qualities · of his playing hours, Vine has carried into his student life. Much is to be expected of this loyal student, courageous leader, and fine athlete. His school, which has admired in him the loyal champion and gener ous foeman, is proud in the monogram he wears.

THE TEAM The season of 1921 gave to St. Viator College her most successful year in her football history. The team was a high calibred outfit, the finished machine of three seasons' development. This school has had powerful t�ams of the past, of the days of the mass style of play, but no team has ever demonstrated the superior style of play in the open game developed by the "Fighting Irish" of this year. They were the first to gain championship recognition from the critics of the State and the first Viatorian team to play, in: a post-season con test, for the undisputed title. The team of 1921 has dorie !TIOre to adva·nce the name of St. Viator in football circles in this state than any other grid outfit of our annals. Equal claim with Lombard College for State honors was undoubtedly theirs. Though decisively defeated in the post season game· for the decision the team established its superiority in the open game and in line defence. Their aerial attack was the most versatile developed in Conference ranks and their Aeet backs made them at all times a feared opponent on a dry field and under favorable playing conditions. No opponent, even when assisted by a weather handicap, ever consistently solved their offence. The Viatorian offence worked from a standard shift from which the backs could strike at end or line and built to meet a passing game that carried the ball into deep territory or into the scrimmage area.

157

---· ----· ·---· In MacLain, the team had a consistent punter and in O'Connor a powerful line plunger. McCarthy, L. Winterhalter a�d Gallivan were among the fleetest backs in Illinois Collegiate ball. The line from tackle to tackle was the peer of the Conference and failed to meet its equal in any of the combination faced. The forwards played hard, aggressive ball, were quick to meet any mode of attack and seldom failed to take advantage of breaks. Their fight was demonstrated in the Lombard game where MacLain punted consistently for 42 yards in a punting duel before a team that outweighed his forwards by twenty pounds. The ends were fast men to cover forward passing .territory and fast under punts. "Veteran" is the spell of our success this year. The men were veterans all, and when the season of 1922 again musters them into football gear and, harness, St. Viator may well look for THE TEAM of her football years.

THE SEASON'S STORY For the first time in many seasons, Tom Finnegan began practice and training with a veteran crew of much experience and with a fast field of promis ing yearlings. Francis, fullback; Bushell, end; and Langan, tackle, were the only men of the 1920 squad who were lost to the team. Connors, All-State guard of J 920, was lost to the team because of a serious operation during the summer. His loss to the team was seriously felt in the opening days of the season and his work was missed throughout the year. The backs were for the most part rrien of tried speed and skill in the passing game. The forwards were seasoned performers, light but scrappy and strong on offensive drive. Early season shifting found L. Winterhalter in the backfield and Farrell at tackle. The former rapidly developed into the sensational in his new berth and Pat Farrell developed into one of the finest forwards in the Conference. Galvin at center was the strong favorite of the new candidates, playing throughout the season to an enviable record both in his passing game and defensive style of play. Micky Donnelly was a Freshman sensation in the guard station and Gallivan developed rapidly into strong Varsity calibre. The schedule admitted of light and heavy skirmishes throughout the playing season that allowed for gradual development in style of play and place shifts in the line-up Jar the early weeks.

LINCOLN COLLEGE contributed the first Conference scalp to Finne gan's warriors in a points shambles wherein Viator totaled 80 points to visitors 0. From O'Connor's first tally in the opening three minutes, The Viatorians ran riot. Galvin, "Chub" Murphy, and Jack Lynch consistently broke up the Lincoln plays behind the line of scrimmage and had little trouble in handling

the Lincoln forwards. McCarthy was the bright, particular star, running the broken field in long dashes for tallies. Healey, at end, showed fine early season form at the receiving end of the forward pass. Finny used all his reserves. ORTHWESTER COLLEGE used their heavier forwards to advantage in staying Finnegan's fighting Irish, offering the,first and only serious opposition on the schedule. In the first quarter O'Connor recovered a fumble and with the backs running wild on the wings, The Viatorians carried the ball over for their only score. Healey kicked goal. Northwestern scored in the second frame but muffed the goal. Despite their weight advantage and the loss of MacLain's punting to the Viatorians, Northwestern failed to gain consistently through our forwards. Viator's passing game and speed, despite a heavy field, kept the ball in Northwestern's territory the greater part of the game, the whistle calling the game with the ball in Viator's possession on Northwestern's 10 yard. CRANE COLLEGE contributed a 67-0 win to the Viator score sheets, offering poor opposition to Finnegan's men in a game played before a large Homecoming crowd. Though the weather was unfavorable to open play, McCarthy, L. Winterhalter and MacLain did some fast work in the open field and kept the bal I deep in Crane's territory throughout the game. Jack Lynch, Chub Murphy and Pat Farrell had 1ittle trouble with the Crane defense and found their line for big advances for their backs. NORTHERN ILLINOIS STATE NORMAL (DE KALB) made matters decidedly interesting for the first three-quarters and made the Irish fight hard for their 19-10 win. Finnegan's men were slow to start and DeKalb placed a field goal and a touchdown in the first half. Late in the second quarter McCar thy sent a long pass to J. Winterhalter that placed the latter over the line for the first tally. lh the second half Mac ran a punt back seventy yards for the second tally and a few minutes later clinched the game with a forty yard sprint from scrimmage for the last touchdown of the game. DE PAUL U IVERSITY failed to stop the Fighting Irish in their top season form and lost to us 19-0. Outweighed more than twenty pounds to the man and picked by the dopesters to lose, Viator played De Paul off their feet in one of the finest displays of team play and scrap seen during the year. The first tally came in the second after McCarthy had returned a punt to the De Paul 20 yard. On the next play Mac sent a perfect pass to the waiting Healey, planted squarely behind the goal posts. In the second quarter the same aerial attack placed the ball in scoring zone where the hard-hitting O'Connor plunged eight yards for the second tally. De Paul threatened but once to score. With

the ball on Yiator·s 12 yard three smashes netted but a many yards and on the fourth down an off-side penalty gave De Paul the ball on Viator·s 4 yard and first down. The line not only held but threw the De Paul back for lo es, the ball going to Viator on her 20 yard. In the third period Healey grabbed a pass in midfield and raced for the last touchdown. In the· fourth quarter, McCarthy carried the ball for fort yards to " ithin a foot of De Paul' goal. Mac hit for the final counter on the next play but the timer·s whi tie beat the ball by a fraction of a second. o·connor, moved from half to full to replace the ,injured Jordan, was a sensation, smashing the De Paul line for con istent gains. The team played scrappy football-the offense perfectly timed and the defence carrying the. full weight of concerted attack. SHURTLEFF COLLEGE could not hold the fast Viatorians on a miry field. McCarthy's eighty yard sprint in an almost impossible running field started the march toward that 86-0 count. L. Winterhalter and Gallivan did brilliant work in the open field and Mac did some remarkable passing with the soggy ball. O'Connor blithfully hammered the line in spite of the poor foothold and added the majority of first downs. Micky Donnelly, playing for the injured Galvin, hung up a perfect passing score and played a strong defensive gc:Jme. VALPARAISO U1 IVERSITY held the undefeated Irish to a careless tie on a field that was a slough of mud and water. The game was played in a steady downpour of rain and on a field ankle deep in water in certain sections. Consistent ground-gaining was impossible. McCarthy, L. Winterhalter and Gallivan performed marvels in the open, running the sloppy field for sub stantial gains that kept the ball in Valpo territory. l\.1acLain's punting was the- feature of the fracas. O'Connor·s line plunging was a sensation. Galvin played throughout the game with the broken hand sustained in the De Paul game. The forwards played strong ball and held the heavier Valpo line to scattered advantages. LOMBARD COLLEGE won the State championship in a post-season game with the Viatorians. A heavy field, ankle deep in straw and clay, stopped the fast passing game of Finnegan·s proteges and the insecure footing handi capped the lighter Irish forwards in their attempt to shift to the entirely new style of play put up by Lombard. It was bitter fight from start to finish and the final score does not indicate the game fight the Viatorians made against their superior opponents. Lamb, without doubt one of the greatest backs ever developed in Illinois intercollegiate ball, swept the ends for long gains behind the perfectly timed interference of the Lombard backs. Lombard's style of play was confined to end runs that ran down the lighter Viator defence

To Connors, who came out for the line for this one game and who played his last game for Viator, goes high praise for exceptional gameness and ability. Galvin, Chub Murphy, Em Murphy, Jack Lynch, Pat Farrell were all line heroes in that game. They played till they dropped and fought to the last whistle. Big Pat Farrell who had played every minute of every game left the field, protesting, in the last three minutes. McCarthy and Winterhalter played beautiful ball in the backfield. Their field running and forward passing were the factors in the only Viator tally. O'Connor finished a perfect season at full with a powerful demonstration of drive. MacLain's punti(lg held Lombard to deep field and was a decided check on the Aeet Lamb.

EUGENE MAcLAI , halfback-A fighting Irishman to the backbone, Red made a fast back, a hard driver when carrying the ball and a sure defence against' interference. Red was the mainstay of the team in the waiting game, for he was a ctever kicker who was seldom out-punted and never consistently so. A stubborn injury to his knee slowed Rodney in the closing games of the season and it is to be regretted that his work on the ends was lost to his team in the post-season game. LEROY WINTERHALTER, halfbackÂ The first weeks of the season found Winnie shifted from end to backfield. The new posiÂ tion gave Winnie added chance to strike with that phenomenal cleverness of his in the open field. His basketball ability made him a sure handler of the ball and he was a constant menace in the open game. Two years remain to this brilliant athlete. BENEDICT CONNORS, tackle-One of the greatest linemen ever developed here. Ben played a brand of ball seldom seen outside the big stadia. Shifty, a thinking lineman he was always at the point of attack, always in the play. His style of play was hard and fast and he kept the men on their toes. He seized every vantage and took every break. His vicious charge always made ground for his backs. Viator will always remember this splendid lineman and owes him much for what he gave. LEWIS MURPHY, guard-Chub had the happy faculty of always being where the attack hit and of making his presence felt. He played hard, fighting ball at all times and won the respect of every man who faced him. This season he developed into one of the strongest linemen of the last four seasons. We place no Limits on the big chap in the two seasons that remain to him and predict that he will be the running. mate to Farrell on that All-State of next season.

WILLIAM BARRETT, end-Bill filled a bad break in the line-up with surprising form. Quick to profit by experience Bill developed into a strong offensive player on the forward pass. Handicapped by lack of weight, Bill suffered in his defensive game but he gave all he had and was one of the hardest fighters on the team. With added weight and the expe rience that his coming two seasons will bring, Bill will step into the cl2ss of the I. I. A. A.

EMMETT MURPHY, tackle-Murph was a youngster who could give twice as much in Fghting spirit as any opponent could send. He never knew when he was licked and he carried himself through many a hard period by sheer grit. Murph was keen to take the breaks and a ensation to profit by experience. o oppo nent ever outguessed or outgeneraled him. Murph will always be a feared fighter.

o·co

£OM NO NOR, fullback-"Little" Spike played with a quiet determination and courage that made him a respected foeman and a teammate to be counted on. He was shifted from half to full and his power, even on almost impossible playing fields, was a sensation. He was a sure defence against the short forward pass, a hard and driving tackler and a hard hitting back-a true fighter. With his calm judgment of attack he was the final word in a fast bc:ckfield. PAT FARRELL, guard-Pat made a name in his new position that is going to c3rry him onto the All-State. His drive on the offence w2s the feature of every game and he literally tore the defence to shreds, making holes for his backs and driving through with tremendous power for the secondary. Pat's delight was nailing the man with the ball. He carried a wallop in his tackles and with Chub Murphy and Jack Lynch, was the last word in a pep evaporating combination. Pat will be a line representative on the All-State next season, along with his playmate, Chub.

RAY HEALEY, end-Throughout the sea son, Babe was a brilliant and consistent performer under the passes, his speed carrying him far into the playing area under the long passes of McCarthy. His defensive game was strong for he was a sure tackler and a fast man in trailing the backs. Babe was shifted from the backfield and we may judge the calibre of his play from the fact that he played a new position and with a stubborn shoulder injury.

THOMASJORDAN, full-A bad shoulder kept this big fellow from a full season. Tom was a powerful back with a drive of feared power. His defensive game quickly won him the respect of every back who found his way to the secondary. His defence against the for ward pass lacked the finish of his companion backs but Tom was playing his first year in the backfield and injuries robbed him of the expe rience that should have been his. CHARLES DONNELLY, center-Mickey entered his first year of football with no expe rience but with a great zest for the game and soon won enviable recognition. His ability to take punishment, his athletic sense, and his rapid progress in the game stamps him as a powerful lineman of much promise. In all the games in which he played his offence drive and keen fight on defence marked Mickey as a coming star. Watch this big fellow go! JOHt WI1 TERHALTER, end-Jawn is rapidly working himself into his brother's vacant place at end. The big boy uses his height to advantage under the passes. His receiving lacks the finish of Healey and Barrett but he is rapidly pushing to the front. On the defence he showed promising ability and once he has learned to use his inches and weight to adv2nt2ge he is going to be a serious problem to interferences. John has three seasons before him and is going to do great things.

CHARLES McGIN IS, quarter-This wiry lad from Memphis was a fine understudy to McCarthy. Mac is handicapped in the weight department but that will never keep him back, for his playing has class and finish. Neil has a versatile toe and is a punter and drop kicker. of no mean ability. In the open field, with an even break, he is a holy terror. This man has the making of a fine back and we are going to hear from him. JOSEPH GALVIN, center-Playing his first year in collegiate ball, Joe won recognition as one of the greatest line scrappers in the Con ference and a man to be troubled about on the defence. During the season he made a perfect passing score in spite of the fact that he played the Lombard, Valpo and De Paul games with a broken -hand. His work was at all times spectacular and won high recognition. Few men \.Viii ever pass him in his first year's show ing. RAY GALLIVAN, halfback-Ray was a youngster of great promise and he made that promise good. Like McCarthy and Winter halter he was a constant threat and added a powerful drive to his running that made him a hard man to stop. Ray landed on the second All-State, no .mean honor for a man playing his first college ball. With added experience he will rapidly develop into one of the finest backs in the I. I. A. A. EDWARD FARRELL, full-Bud demon strat�d ability that will not fail to land him in Varsity ranks. Bud was the last word in a fine trio of fullbacks. O'Connor, Jordan and Farrell were a combination of Varsity and relief that bolstered the backfield and made that berth the most dependable and ground gaining notch on the club. Bud had a powerful drive and was a game tackler. No man ever traveled that reached the secondary sector he covered. With three years ahead of him we predict unlimited possibilities for Bud.

St. Viator faces the season of 1922 with unusually bright prospects. Connors, All-State tackle, is the only ma� to be lost through graduation. The rapid development of Pat Farrell, however, will off-set this loss, for Pat is fast becoming one of our greatest linemen. The backfield is crowded with men of sterling calibre and experience. There is McCarthy, All-State half and Middle Western mention; Roy Winterhalter, a brilliant open field runner and a brilliant performer in the aerial game; MacLain, a tried man of versatile toe; Gallivan, choice of this season on the second All-State. There will be O'Connor, Jordan and Bud Farrell to care for the fullback position. O'Connor is going to make a name for himself; Jordan and Bud are strong defensive men and good ground gainers. Ex-captain Lynch, Em Murphy, Pat Farrell, and Chub Murphy are forwards of much experience and the peer of the Conference in combination. Pat Farrell and Chub Murphy are due for All-State honors next season and the pair that beat them to the honors are going to be wonderfu l players. The end department is light but will be made up of such vets as Ba,be Healey, Bill Barrett and J. Winterhalter. These men are well schooled in the pass and need but a little beef to make their defensive as strong as their offensive. Mickey Donnelly is going to be a powerful lineman and is a reserve that will be heard from. There is a wealth of fine players of the Academy to graduate into Varsity circles. Such men as Hobart, Doyle, Wheeler,. Best, Urban, and Leahy will build up a high calibred reserve that means much strength. The Vets are playing their third season together. And McCarthy as leader is the last word in a brilliant season's prospect.

THE SEASON'S STORY Under the tutelage of Connors,. former Notre Dame athlete, the Academy enjoyed the most successful football year of its history. The team was con sidered one of the strongest defensive outfits in Illinois prep ball. A powerful, beefy line, well up in weight and height was schooled in -a hard aggressive style of play that seldom failed to find the opposition for substantial chunks of territory. Behind this heavy and fast- line worked as fast and shifty a backfield as prep ball in these parts has seen in many moons. The backs were fast, drilled in the aerial game, quick on shift offence and with men of strong drive in the end and line attempts. The end department was strong and the fine running complement for the aerial performers of the backfield. The ouL come of the season speaks for the calibre of the cre.:V. The only games lost were dropped to Loyola Academy and Lake Forest, conceded the strongest Academy team in the Middle West. The showing against'Lake Forest looms up when it is recalled that the Northmen defeated the strong Notre Dame Freshmen 22-0 the week previous. THE GAMES Bradley High School was easily defeated in the first game of the season, 33-0. The following Saturday, the Bradley Athletic Club was tumbled in a practice tilt. A week later the Academy men journeyed to Chicago to meet Loyola Academy in the first game of the year in the Viatorians' class. The . Academy men were compelled to take the small encl of a 14-7 score. The breaks gave Loyola the advantage in the opening minutes and they kept to the breaks throughout. The next victim to be met was the strong High School of Morocco, Indiana. Connors shunted his men throughout the game, running all his reserves and sparing his regulars for the hard games on the card. The Hoosiers could do nothing against,the Viator forwards or via the aerial. The Academy

men next stepped into Lake Forest Academy, the strongest Academy team of the mid-West, for the next fracas. 'The line played a wonderful game but failed to show consistent fight in all periods. The men put· up a scrappy exhibition however and won the grudged admiration of a hostile crowd. The next game brought the Fighting Irish J rs. up against the Kankakee High School. The locals had previously stated that the Collegians were scheduled to learn that all the county stars were not to be found in St. Viator and that the Academy were coming into a richly deserved thrashing for their swank. We must relate that the boys proved the Kankakee boasts idle and their remarks too true. The proof stood 3 3-7 for the Collegians. The Academy men are scrappers and Kankakee boosters and players doubled the drubbing they were scheduled to receive by driving the Collegians to the almost impos sible-redoubled fight and hard ball. The Academy closed the season with the demonstration of a mild interest in the football possibilities of St. Bede's College. The gang were never hard pressed in piling up their 27-0 win. They worked their forward passing game to advantage and tore off an aggregate yardage on the trys that won the fandom of the locality. MEN OF THE VHS FRANCIS HOBART, guard-Captain 1921 Academy Team-Fat was the great, little man of a great line. He was easily the outstanding star of the forwards and played a hard, conscientious game that made him a feared man. His play was featured by his wonderful use of the hands on defence. Fat's fighting spirit was one of the inspirations of the team. His work in the Loyola and Lake Forest games marked as one of the finest linemen in Illinois prep ball. Fat will be back next year and will report in Varsity gear.

BERNARD CLANCY, center-Barney lived up to the finest traditions of the Fighting Irish. Nothing could daunt this sterling little scrapper, and no odds could ever make him quit. He played a perfect passing game at center, and was the finest football head on the team when on defence. He lacked weight, but he made up for it by giving all he had in fighting spirit in every game. Barney will be back in Academy ranks next season. Watch this youth go r

EUGENE GILLIGAN, guard-,-This amiable young Irish giant played with a quiet fighting spirit and a dash that time and again carried him through beefier opposition. His drive on offence was of Varsity calibre. Powerful

----· ---· ------ and-aggressive, he was at all times a feared man and a constant problem to the man he faced. Turk W$S a fighter of the first rank-one of those splendid chaps who plays until he drops and is never known to quit. GERALD BEST, tackle-Jerry was the g·ant of the line. He was never off his feet and seldom out of a line play no matter ;here the point of attack. He was a man of few words but much fight. His offensive game was not as strong as his defensive, but was none the _less a strong performance for prep ranks. This big chap will be in line for the Varsity next season, and will put in a strong bid for a line position. WILLIAM DOYLE, end-Augie was tall and had the weight. He may have been slow but he was there when the short passes over the line were the only means of advancing. He was a delight in grabbing these offers. But interference was his meat, and he slammed them with a zest that took the sense of his direction out of the opposing quarter's head. He was never off his feet, was never outfought, and seldom, if ever, out-generaled. Augie is looking with much longing toward the Varsity season of 1922. RICHARD WHEELER, tackle-Dick packed an awful wallop in his defensive game and took the fight out of more opposing tackles than any man on the outfit. He carried punch in his offence drives that added many yards to the advance, and he lent surety to the backs for the needed feet to first down. Dick is another Varsity prospect that will aid materially in the realization of the wonder team of the coming season. SORAN LEAHY, end-This lad would rather play football than eat, and he carried his zest for the game into his playing. He lacked the weight, but lack of weight never seriously handicapped a Fighting Irish mate who knew how to fight with the spirit of his clan. Leahy cared for the outposts on the forward pass, and his receiving in this section was little less than spec tacular. On the defence he fought until he dropped, and was one of the surest and cleverest tacklers on the team. Varsity ball is going to agree with this Academy scrapper. PHILIP BOWE, quarter-Phil was a strategist who knew how to spare his team in the face of any kind of opposition. No quarter ever outpointed Phil in the thinking department, and his judgment of play �nd opponent was

·-· ------·· • ··--·

the best on the squad. He could spare his men in a hard scrap; he could spare them in a rout of weaker opposition. In running an open field, he stepped far forward with the class of his circle; he handled the pass with surety; and was a threat in the kicking department. Phil is another Varsity bid and a strong one. FRA CIS I. MURPHY, halfback-Frank was the greatest Academy back developed here in many years. The Big Chap was playing his first year of Academy ball, and he did wonders. His bulk served as an asset rather than a detriment to his open field running. He carried a drive in all his dashes that made him hard to stop when under way. His end swings were his best, but he could pound a line with power when called on. Turk's game ness was the warcry of his clan. Time and again he stayed despite injuries and played ball that meant wins. He was a hard fighter, a punter of ability, and a worthy foeman. With another year on the Academy, the big fellow is going to be a Varsity sensation. DALE WALSH, halfback-Dode was the smallest backfield man on the outfit, but how he could hit! He was a driving player and the best football head on the crew on running with that ball. He made up for his lack of weight with a line of thinking tactics that carried him where heavier backs could not make way. No one was quicker to pick the weakness of the line he had to fight, and his shiftiness made it impossible for opponents to mass against him. He was game to the last scrimmage. When Dode shall have finished his Academy days he is going to make history on the Varsity LESLIE URSA , fullback-"Swede" could hit a line with.a thump that carried through oodles of beef. There wasn't a line he met that could stop him without a gain, and to see that boy drive was a joy forever. Swede added enough first downs to the advance to satisfy for four fulI backs. On the defence he played a hard, driving game that took the joy of play out of opposing backs and made his area in the secondary a feared spot. Les played every minute of every fracas. Swede is going to make a name for himself in Varsity circles. JOSEPH CARDOS I, quarter-Joe was a fine understudy to Bowe, and did great service when Bowe was out of the game with a bad knee. Joe was a good general, a true passer, and a coolheaded player in the pinches. Joe deserves a full measure of credit. He is going to be a great asset to the Academy outfit of the coming campaign.

THE RESERYES were all strong and dependable performers. The calibre of the reserves but further demonstrates the power of the Academic combination. All were a superior type of player, playing a superior brand of ball. McGAVICK is an end of mighty fine possibilities and a strong defensive man. DANNER in the backfield was a strong understudy. His style of play was like to that of Dode Walsh. O'NEIL was a hardhitting and a hardworking candidate whom lack of experience alone kept from the big tussels. With the experience of coming season, he ought to develop into a strong performer. AMBROSIUS, NEFF and SHEA ·were strong line reserves, and demonstrated no little ability. They will make strong bids for honors next season. Most of these men played in the major games of the year and have gained valuable experience. They will be the backbone of Academy prospects for the coming season of 1922.

ROY WI1 TERHALTER, forward-Captain 1921-1922 team: Winnie is a player of wonderful finish and class. His Aoor work is of the finest seen on our Aoor, and the coming seasons are going to find this man . the greatest basketball player ever developed here. Shifty, clever, fast, and of startling pivot and dodge, he was the peer of Conference forwards. His field trys from distance and under the basket were of a high degree of consistency. His skilled and graceful game and his clean fight have easily won for him All-State honors. VINCENT McCARTHY, guard-Vance has won his All-State honors in three seasons' play-a remarkable record for a man who has learned the game in his days of college play. Mac's play is a fine expression of Viatorian ideals of sportsmanship-clean, gentlemanly and scrappy. o one has ever outfought and none have scored consistently over his guard play. A hard fighter for the ball and a hard man to lose sum Mac·s stellar floor work. He plays his last year with Viator next season, and we are confident that his game can but bring added honor to himself and school. CHARLES DON ELLY, center-Mickey sincerely deserves the All State honors awarded him. A fast Aoorman, he played a hard, clean game at all times and was one of the most consistent and hardworking men on the floor. His graceful and skilled field trys from the distance were a valuable scoring asset to his team. Mickey was a scoring ace under the basket and a good man in driving the ball from the danger zone under his basket. Mickey has three glorious years before him, and we know that he will make the most of them. He is type of whom the Fighting Irish may well be proud.

THE SEASO With a 31-24 win over Valparaiso University, St. Viator closed one of its most successful Aoor seasons in many years. The team winds up the season's playing at the head of the champ dope sheet of the I. I_ A. A. Out of ten games played with Conference opponents, St. Viator won eight and lost two, leading the circle on percentage. Paper decisions, together with scribes and critics, places the Viatorians as one of the best college quintets in the West, and are unanimous in their championship a\\'ard to the Catholics. Fred

Young, sporting editor of the Bloomington Bulletin, awarded three Viator men positions on his All-Conference fives. Captain Winterhalter was chosen for a forward position on the first team and Donnelly and McCarthy selected as center and guard bn his second mythical five. This recognition, coming from such a critic, speaks for the calibre of the Viator team. Besides wins over Conference opponents, St. Viator has won from Valparaiso in two tus sles, St. Louis University, Indiana Dental 'College, Lewis Institute, and American College of Physical Education in two frames, and lost to Marquette, Columbia and Bradley. The Viatorians were probably the strongest floor combination to repre sent the school in a decade. Coached by Howard Bushell, a star Viatorian performer of the 1919, '20, '21 squads, they played a strong passing game on attack and a rapidly and easily shifted five man defense, versatile enough to meet various styles of attack and defense. In the point gaining tr,e crew demonstrated talent in the distance tries in the shooting of Captain Winter halter, Donnelly, Lyons and Clancy. The short pass that carried the ball under the wicket was the method insisted upon, bringing scoring attempts in short shot territory. Captain Winterhalter played a brilliant game at for ward, rounding out his strong floor play with accurate tossing ill both long and short attempts. Vince McCarthy has developed into one of the strongest guards in Illinois Collegiate ball. Few forwards pierced his territory for basket trys and his close, fast shift repeatedly carried the ball out of dangerous territory and deep into opponents' floor space. B. Connor and W. Barrett were a brace of fine guards, both fast men and hard to keep from the ball. Lyons and Clancy, at· forwards, were exceptionally fine floor performers, demonstrating a quick pivot and p·assing accuracy. Donnelly, at center, was a Freshman sensation. The big chap was seldom outjumped, used his length to advantage in his floor ranging, and was a scoring ace on long trys and under the wicket in following through. J. Winterhalter, at center, and Langton, at guard, were both fine perfor.mers and advanced rapidly with experience. The team was a finely balanced outfit, showing decided and consistent improvement throughout the season, as demonstrated in the two Millikin games. The first was lost by a 20-18 count to the Decatur crew; the second won by a 45-23 score, three weeks later. The men finished the season cham pions of their Conference and one of the strongest combines in Middle Western Collegiate circles. After the Valparaiso game, John Lyons, forward, of Wilkes Barre, Pa., was chosen by his teammates to pilot the 1923 squad, succeeding Leroy Winterhalter, of Elburn, Ill. Lyons is an excellent performer and a clever dribbler, and his many friends wish him equal success as Captain as he has enjoyed on the· 'Championship team of 1922.

. :::::::::r::=: :. .

MEN OF THE MONOGRAM JOHN CLANCY, forward-Tall and rangy, a brilliant Aoorman, with an uncanny knack to diagnose attack and quick to cover an offence, Dizz was a power to be feared. He was an important cog in a fast, aggressive attack, for his surprising ability to pivot and his range assisted him in carrying the ball deep into opponents· Aoor area. He was an ace on the short trys and strong in getting the b.all away from his own basket. John has another year with the Varsity. Next year he should win the All-State honors he so richly deserves.

JOH 1 LYONS, forward-Captain-elect of 1922-1923 Squad: · 'The Old Chap" is one of the greatest basketball players to perform on this Aoor. Over topped and outweighted by opponents in every game he played, Coot has made good and outplayed every man he has entered against. Brilliance in dodging and dribbling, accuracy in the distance trys for the basket, a constant fight and dash are the secrets of his fine game. John is to captain the crew next year, and he is going to give us another Championship, for John is a fighter and he is playing his last season. His mates cannot but catch the full spirit of his fight.

WILLIAM BARRETT, guard-Bill is one of the sensations of the year. A light man, whose experience has been confined to forward, he entered the lists in the guard ranks and made good. Bill has all the fight and joy of battle of the Fighting Irish, and he fought to the last whistle in every fracas he entered. His Aoor work was exceptionally fast, and kept the ball deep in the playing field. He was the perfect complement to McCarthy and a fine running mate to Connors. Bill has two more Varsity years, and we enthusi astically predict great things of this scrappy guard.

BENEDICT CONNORS, guard-Ben played his first college basketball this season, and he made good with the same dash that has characterized his football and baseball performances. Ben is a fast man and a fine dribbler. His spirited play and fast floor work packed many surprises for opponents and carried the ball away from scoring zone time after time. He was a con-

··· ---··--

stant menace in the center area, and few men got the ball around him without a fight or spirited skirmish. A great player for his first year. We regret that he has not more seasons before him with the Viatorians.

ROBERT LANGTON, guard-Bobbie played good ball in the guard section. He was a hard and conscientious player. His Aoor work on the defensive was strong and superior to his offensive game. His field trys were made with an easy, graceful delivery that was cla s. Bob is demonstrating class and added experience is going to make him a valuable man.

JOHN WI TERHALTER, center-John had none of that awkwardness that usually characterizes a tall man. He used his height to advantage. He was a strong defensive man under the basket and particularly efficient in fol lowing through after the long trys. His work in the center ring stamps him as a player of much promise. The experienefe of his three remaini.ng seasons will give him a finish that is going to land him in a Varsity berth.

EUGENE MacLAIN, guard-A serious injury to the knee sustained in football kept this little fighter and fine guard from the game this season. The men of the team missed this little fighter, who never knew when he was licked and who fought down at all times serious handicaps of weight and height. Red was a fast Aoorman, and we sincerely hope that next season will find him back on the Aoor playing an even more brilliant game than his past Aoor performances.

THE RESERVES were all good men of promise. l\1cG l l IS was showing class at forward before the close of the season, and is rapidly learning a brand of play that will go far in offsetting weight handicaps. BUD FAR RELL was a scrappy little guard, and should develop rapidly. WALLY FITZGERALD played a hard game until he retired to scintillate in the Senior League. These youngsters have much to recommend them and will improve rapidly with future experience.

THE SEASON When Coach Bushell issued his call for Academy basketball men he was confronted with the largest number of candidates in some years. After· the weeding process the crew resolved down to a fine field of veteran material and a promising reserve force. Captain Walsh, Doyle, and Bowe were the nucleus· of the new squad, and Murphy and Herbert put in the strongest bids a�ong the new men. After the preliminary practice, Bushell started hard drill_ and floor work with Doyle and Captain Walsh at forwards, Murphy at center, ·and Bowe and Herbert at guards. Early season shifts were few, and the·out fit faced the schedule in fine trim. The team were fine close pass performers, drilled in the bounce pass tactics of the Varsity, and well schooled in team play. They played a fast game, had fine distant scoring men in Walsh and Doyle, carried the ball deep for the short trys, and had a fine guard reserve. Schedule uncertainties would not allow of the schedule desired, and did not allow for sufficient team experience before the hard games of the card were played. Inability to make a thoroughly representative card forced the boys to play out of their class. They have made a fine record, however, and are to be commended for the added respect they have won for Academy athletics. Prospects for next season are particularly bright in view of the men developed this season. Walsh and Herbert will be the veterans to report next season, and the good field of new men trained this season adds greatly to effective playing next season.

MEN OF THE ACADEMY DALE WALSH, forward-Captain 1921-1922 Squad: Dode is as fine an all around Academy man as can be found in prep circles in the State. In basketball he is not only a clever basketball head, but possesses a bewildering pivot and speed and is an exceptional shot on the short shot trys. Dode will be back in Academy ranks next season for that added experience that will make him a sterling Varsity man. WILLIAM DOYLE, forward-Augie was a powerful player, fast on the Aoor and an excellent dribbler. He was the scoring ace on the distant puts and a fine running mate to Captain Walsh. Augie is an athlete of fine promise, 8nd will be welcomed into Varsity ranks.

PHILIP BOWE, guard-Phil was a fighter who kept his area clear of dangerous shots and was a fast man in working the ball into scoring zone. He added a fine dribbling ability to his fast floor game. His fighting spirit . was contagious, and no little asset toward the season's successes. Phil played his last game for the Academy against Loyola. His work in that contest will not soon be forgotten. FRANCIS I. MURPHY, center-Turk took to basketball with a zest and in his first season became a fine pivot man. He was a hard fighter for the ball and a good man in feeding his forwards. His work under his own basket kept down scoring threats. Frank is one of the finest athletes in Academy ranks, and demonstrates Varsity ability with each passing season.

GEORGE HERBERT, guard-Lefty was the sensation of the year. This little scrapper had a world of fight, a fine basketball sense, and was a consistent performer. He possessed a strong passing arm, a good judgment of long passes, and was a hard man to circle. We predict great things of this little fighter in the seasons that are to come.

LONG and THULIS were youngsters who demonstrated decided basket ball talent and made a strong showing whenever entered. CLANCY brought all his old fight and dash into the game; McGAVICK was a cool, consistent performer; MEIS and CARDOSI were hard workers and give great promise.

The league has been a strong

No better example of this can be sited than

In last year's league he played his first game, and

was considered a fine football player. But toward the end of the season his playing took on finish and brought him into notice of the coaches. This year he entered Varsity ranks and became one of the best guards in the Little Nineteen. The success and popularity of this year's league must in greatest share go to Father Harrison. Senior leagues have been organized and schedules drafted in the past, but somehow interest flagged and player and spectator failed to make a success of the ventures. This year's league was different, and the result is traceable to Father Harrison's power of organization. Early in January he called the Senior Department together and outlined the plan of the league, emphasizing the physical and recreational benefits Eight men were chosen to serve as captains. These men in turn selected players from the ranks of the Senior Department. Interest and enthusiasm ran high from the first game in the keenly contested schedule. The league race was featured by stiff conpetition, so keen in fact that the conclusion of the fourteen-game schedule found three teams tied for the first honors. The teams had shown decided development in their style of play, and the three titled contenders put up a skilled game in the final games. At close of the season the three title contenders were banqueted and the winning team awarded pennants. One of the features of the games and season was a resume of the games given under the title, "Glimpse o· trie Game." The author of this amusing, satirical, insulting and entertaining scorch sheet was a mysterious but skilled scribe. Interest ran as high as to his identity as the league race outcome.

SENIOR BASKETBALL LEAGUE When the homesickness of Xmas vacation had dropped from the worthy senior department, Father Harrison groomed his eight ring circus for a tour of the winter months, with Messrs. Pat Farrell, Babe Healey, Yutch Marvel, Howard Kenny, Johnnie Barrett, Tom Jordan, Mike Artery and Em Murphy as Ring masters of the most marvelous, mastodonic, monstrous, momentous menagerie of basket tossers extant. That array of talent was a knockout. From the startling and amazing marksmanship of J iggs Hennegan, Jimmy Cavanaugh and Tom Keeley, the wonderful tumbling of Joe Mies, F. Brankin and Gussie McNeal, the acrobatic stunts of Red Donovan and Fat Hobart, the "quickness-of-the-eye-deceives-the-hand" stunt of Bill Keenan, Johnson and Rinella, down to the gladiatorial spectacles of the closing fight, the league was a huge success. In the open days of the campaign the scraps were hard fought throughout. The "Midgets" under Capt. Artery were the choice of the field, and the Acs got an awful kick out of the string of victories he chalked up. Pat Farrell marshalled his legions under the martial banner of "Fairy fussers," and hove into sight. Long and desperately he fought, each suc ceeding tussle leaving more busted skulls in his wake, and swelling the "dead house" sick report. Johnny Barrett's "Goniffs" were the sacrifice. Nobody could just figure that name, and even his men seemed lost in very mystifica tion of it. They were trampled on gloriously, but came back for more. Kenny's "Galoshes" were leaderless, but took well to punishment and success. To see them dash about under the eye of their beaming captain, safely entrenched on the sidelines, was inspiring. Then Murph's "Puddle-Jumpers" began their wrecking-crew career. Murph and Dick supplied the persuading tactics, with Red to stamp out any remaining signs of life in the poor victims. . Marvel's "Baumstiens" came and saw and--. Then hove into conAict Jordan's "Teatotalers," and they continued to "hove"-they hove to at the championship. It was a great season when the boys had been in long enough to drop the manners of public executioners and adopt the more gentle char acteristics of yeggs. The schedule was played, but ended in a deadlock, and the second swing began. Some of the boys showed class in the second frame. Even Paul Meagher began to ring pointers, Brankin once stopped a man from making a basket, Red Donovan stayed on the floor and avoided shoe-string tackles, Johnson sweated all the tea out of his system, and Dick Standaert won a game by a dazzling basket. And then, the season ended with Jordan, Murphy and Healey a tie. The series was played with Red Maclain and Coot Lyons as officials and fittingly decorated, the gangs in real outfits, and Jim Whalen leading the cheering section. And when the smoke had cleared away Jordan had won-the teams were now a mob of cripples, but the season was over and a howling success. The league has been the most successful in years in spirit shown, the enthusiasm aroused, and the talent developed. Many of the players demon. strated worthwhile ability, and made bids for Varsity consideration. The students found in the league rivalry a rich fund of interest. Much thanks is due to the officials, Red Maclain and Johnny Lyons. A double measure of thanks is due Father Harrison for the wonderful success of the league, for nis unflagging interest and generous support.

THE LEAGUE TEAMS THE MIDGETS, under the direction of Captain MIKE ARTERY, were the choice of the field in the early games. Every man on the team save one was an "ex-Ac," and the Acs got an awful kick out of the string of victories Mike's men gathered. But lack of height .and weight proved too great a handicap as the season advanced. Jiggs Hannegan, Tom Hannegan and Mike were great little performers, and we predict success to them in the future.

PAT FARRELL mustered his legions under the martial name of FAIRY FUSSERS-no one could ever quite figure that name, for Pat's warriors were finished roughnecks. For a long time his men clung to the top of the ladder, but the rarified atmosphere of those regions grew monotonous, and they made a quick d�scent for the bottom. Jimmy Cavanagh and Pat were the scoring aces; Donahue and Sisk played a good guard game; Meagner supplied the sensational, and Brankin was a fine acrobat.

THE GALOSHES were the fiery performers under HOW KENNY'S tutelage and paternal, sideline interest. Kenny did his playing from the psy chological angle, and had a fairly successful season as a sideline mencor a la Stagg. Cody was the inspiring and perspiring leader on the field of battle, and carried out admirably the veiled strategy of Ken. Telepathy failed, how ever, and the Galoshes finished up in the dugout. Cody and Boysen were the luminaries, and O'Neil and Gibbons played a desperate and hairraising game at guards. THE BUMSTEINS, under Captain YUTCH MARVEL, were a hard fighting outfit, but Maroney's color schemes and Wigg's marvelous costumes seem to have dazed their mates. Wal.ly Fitzgerald at forward was one of the best players in the League. Maroney, Wiggs Walsh and Captain Yutch played a good brand of ball. Maroney's neck was very popular with the fans �nd occasioned some startling outbursts from Jim Whalen's cheering section. THE WHIRLWINDS, under BABE HEALEY, did not begin to whirl until the first five of their games had proven them rather like zephyrs. Then they started things. Babe was out of the early games, and that accounts for

the checks, for Babe is a really fine player. His gang, when they were going right, were about the classiest combination in the ranks. Their five-man defence was the most scientific line-up in the league. Mulcahy, a gentle whirl of the whirlwinds from Delevan, is a good man on short shots. Socco provided the voodvil and did some remarkable things on the long shots. Casey had a beautiful strut that he maintained despite his speed. Harbauer played a good guard game

EM MURPHY gave his graceful and gentle charges the moniker PUDDLE-JUMPERS. Murph's gentle playmates were the wrecking crew of the organization, and the finest bunch of executioners outside the union. Dick Standaert and Bill Donovan in their early and first playing were very persuading, and lulled many a league star into indifference. Em supplied the finish. But as the season advanced the crew took on more courteous manners and played a strong and skilled brand of ball for the pennant. Dick and Red proved good guards. Koch and Keeley were the scoring aces.

TOl\.1 JORDAr ·s TEATOTALERS were the CHAMPS of the league. Tom took on class in his first year of playing with surprising quickness. He captained a galaxy of good shots, and his men were pretty good passers and floormen. Finski, at center, was up with the best in the circle; Shields, in spite of his lack of weight, was a dependable floorman and a good shot; Gussie McNeil surprised the fans with his dribbling; while Sommers and Green were good guards. The team had lots of fight.

The three league headliners were feted at a banquet given in the Faculty dining hall. Father Harrison, the sponsor of the league, was Toastmaster, and called on all the stars and near-stars for speeches. Those speeches were a knockout. Dick Standaert lacked enthusiasm because he was unwary enough to rehearse his remarks in the presence of Tom Jordan. Tom pre ceded him to the wire and stole all of Dick's thunder. But it is an ill-wind that blows no one good, and Dick established a reputation as an extempore talker. The meal was there with all the fixings. It was worth the battling. It is sincerely hoped that forthcoming leagues will be as productive of fine results as that of this year-in spirit fostered, good fellowship awakened, talent demonstrated, and enthusiasm aroused. ,

ECHOES Those pennants should be in a war museum. Shields had as much chance as a roast duck thrown up for grabs in the refectory. What crimes are committed in the name of basketball! The pennants would make admirable crepes. Well, let's go-blood doesn't make us sick. Red says Finski doesn't fit so well under the bleachers. Try draping him around a post, Red. Joe Mies behaved like a good boy and didn't sass the referee. Boysen is left-handed, but that has nothing to do with his religion. It will be hard to pick �n all-star team because they are all rotten. Both captains were absent from the floor-perhaps that is why we saw such a good game. Maroney struggled manfully through the game handicapped with a stubbed toe. Things are beginning to look bad-Jim Peiffer played to-nite. Sisk would have made a basket if there were no guards and he had someone to make the shot for him. Finski resembled the Wandering Jew on the floor-not a friend. Johnson has sunk to the lowest degree-he sweats tea. Red Donovan would prefer to pick up the ball and just run with it. Cody was back again fast as ever-and punk as usual. Sloan did the logical thing when he went out of the game. Cap Kenny may as well go out and help his team lose a fe"'." games. Casey should go on the stage as an eccentric dancer. Brankin took to the cheers like a fish to water-he thought we were serious. Speaking of weak ends-we would suggest Rinella's ·head. Meagher did his first manly act-he spit on the floor.

THE SEASOt St. Viator topped a fine year in athletics \\·ith a perfect baseball team. The crew developed by Father Kelly was the greatest that has represented this School and possibly the greate t outfit that ever played in a conference game. They were feared throughout the State, and a \Vin over them was as great an achievement as dropping a University outfit. Due to the fine weather, the crew was out early, and all of last season's champ aggregation were back in uniform. The prospects \.vere even brighter for Connor , a vet, was back in line for the outfield and the new men were promising. The first game with Crane was a track meet with the locals running \vild on the bases and showing fine form in the field. Another preliminary rout over the Aviation Team of the Great Lakes Station put the gang on their mettle for the real events of the season. But the majority of the games were remarkable for the foot work of the crew on base lines and their heartless slugging, with Sweeney and Farrell pitching air-tight ball and the team behind them laying down a sure fielding barrage. The scores were large in most cases, and the gang wound up the season with 179 tallies to opponents' 27. During the season they pooled 174 hits, almost a run to the hit, and mixed up the card with a generous allowance of home-runs, triples and doubles, with Clancy playing the Babe Ruth role with six circuit wings. The I. I. A. A. championship wa clinched with ease. The crew lost a 3-1 game with the strong Valparaiso Univer ity outfit, but evened accounts in a return game, dropping the Hoosiers with a 4-3 score. To this year·s team goes credit for the greatest athletic victory in the history of the School. The crowning event of the year was the 7-0 shut-out administered to Notre Dame University, fresh from a 5-3 win over Iowa Univer ity. The locals landed hard on the visiting pitching staff, knocking the Hoosiers' best bet, Castner, off the knoll and were finding Falvey when the slaughter ended. The cre\v garnered two home-runs and fielded in

perfect form. This year·s crew was without doubt the greatest baseball outfit this School has ever entered in the national game. A fast infield, a sure outfield and a star battery spells the word, .. success,,. on their slate. On third was Winterhalter switched from his regular berth at second, a fast man under fly offers and a reliable man on the ground huggers with a strong, con sistent throwing arm and a bad actor with the hickory; Red MacLain, short stop and captain, played his position like the \let he is with the same old pre cision, a startling quickness in getting the ball away and in covering the second peg. He had a strong throwing arm and was a wary club wielder, second to Bushell only in stabling the mound dwellers· nannies and a scientific collector of the B. B. 's. Bananas ambled about the tape between first and second, and was there with his raucous war-cry and his scamper after the liners. He always fielded in fine form, and was the Home-run King, not by reason of the number he lammed out, but by reason of the fact that he smacked them only when there was a game to be won-his free-for-alls were remarkable for their timeliness. Clancy was the Conference marvel on the first sack, and a really sensational player. He did not play in streaks, but was consistent in his sensationalism, rather a contradiction as players go. He could nail any offer within the range of his wiry frame, held the runner to his bag, backed his pitcher with sureness, and had a line of chatter that was a constant surprise and original. With the war club he was a holy terror, and was one of the best swatsmen on the team. The outfield left nothing to be desired. Connors, McCarthy and Healy were fast men in covering the outskirts, and ambled about the horizon in fast style. They were sure snuffers of the floaters, and their fielding was strengthened by the powerful throwing arms of Connors and Healey. Time and again Connors has cut down the base allowance of a bingle to a single and held the runners to the saw-dust stations. To see him drop a runner at third from the field was a joy and a delight forever. The battery was a trio of great little performers. Bushell was sure-fire behind the platter, a heady director for his pitcher, a dead shot for second, and he never laid down no matter how far the score rose or fell. He held everything that came his way, and on corralling the foul tips he was class. He did some wonderful playing against the Notre Dame crew. Sweeney needs no introduc tion. He topped the mound in fine style, and punctured the hopes of every crew that faced him His playing against the Notre Dame and Valpo sluggers was a display of cool nerve and spirit. Pat Farrell was the youngster of the pitching staff, but he was some youngster. He demonstrated that he was right at home on the elevation, and was on the loft to stay, and he made a fine showing as a hard working player who was in the game at all times. He had a calm scorn for the breaks in the game that was surprising. Johnny Barrett was on deck and ready for any emergency. He could play the infield, the 0,.1tfield and weather a little session on the rise; Jordan has the making of a fine batsman, and should loom big on the batting sheet next season; E. Murphy scorned pitchers and he struck at every offer that any one attempted to give him, and he got away with it. He is a fine outfielder and is of Varsity calibre. Ray Francis, star receiver of three champ teams, was out of the game early in the season because of a stubborn ankle which was injured in foot ball, and refused to carry the Big Boy. The team missed the support and the fight of this big chap, but fortunately the versatility of Bushell and Winter halter minimized what at first threatened to be a very serious set-back.

EUGE IE MacLAI! , shortstop - Captain: Red headed the peer of Conference teams this season. In the big games of the season l fac played brilliant ball, covering his field in fast time and missing nothing. He was a heady leader, a fast and sure fielder, and a batting strate gist. Red may not have led the list in hits, but he out generaled more pitchers and has the highest count of the Mound Nannies. Red enjoys the enviable distinction of being the second Viator baseball leader to lead his gang into Big Time and clean up. Rodney has two more years in Varsity ball, and will be one of the greatest infielders in our baseball history before he is through.

BE EDICT CO NORS, outfield-Bennie was the choice of the outfield in baseball. He romped around the center section in sensational style for he never missed an offer and backed his peerless fielding with a throwing arm that held the runner to the bases. He was a star with the stick, and lammed out a fine collection of hits during the playing season. But the bases were his element. He stole more than any other man on the club, burned the baselines, and gave no infield a chance to stall. Ben was one of the finest baseball heads of the last five seasons. With another year with the team, we predict that this big fellow will be one of the finest outfielders in our baseball history.

RAYMOND HEALEY, outfield-Babe held an error less record for his two seasons. · He covered his plot in speedy style, was an excellent judge of Ay balls, and pos sessed a good throwing arm. He was a fast man on the base lines and a hard man to hold to the sack. His work with the stick gave him high rank this season. Babe has two more years with the club, and is going to develop into a wonder with the stick. A better fielder he could not be for his style of play is hard to improve upon.

JOHN CLANCY, first base-Dizz was the luminary of the lot, and rapidly jumped from the ranks of the ordinary to the phenom class. J awn never missed an offer within the range of his lankiness, and few out of range. He blew up the stealing ambitions of a small army of runners, and kept them hugging the first sack with his splendid support of his pitcher. At the plate Dizz was the Babe Ruth of the outfit, leading with six home runs and clouting out many minor hits. He will captain the 1922 outfit, a crew that promises to be the greatest in Viator·s baseball history. Dizz is a sensation in the collegiate circles of this State, and before the two years remaining to him are up will be the greatest first baseman in Illinois College ball.

JOHN LYONS, second base-Coot is the King of the lot and the idol of the fans, for Coot believes in doing the impossible when gloom is thick and despair oppressive. At the plate he never landed a home run until there was a game to be won. He led the procession in the Notre Dame game with a homer that winded the poor chap in left field and blew up the "Big Boys." He played a fine game in the field, and seldom failed to handle an offer. Coot will be on deck for 1922, and we are going to see him do even greater things.

LEROY WINTERHALTER, third base-Winnie was set at second and then sent to third to replace Bushell, who had been sent to the receiving section. Winnie was one of the best baseball strategists on the club, a fast and sure fielder, and had a wonderfully true throwing arm. He was well up to the front in the hitting game and a fast man on the bases. Winnie has three more years with the team, and . will be one of the greatest fielders to perform in the Con ference before he is through.

FRA CIS (PAT) SWEE EY, pitcher-St. Viator 7 otre Dame O is the best evidence of Pat's mound activities and exploits for the season. It indicates the brand of ball he pitched all year. Pat gave to this school its most precious athletic victory when he blanked the U-men. Buzz is the mound classic of these last few years of champ outfits. A hard worker, possessing a world of smoke and a fine array of curves, Buzz was a little con stellation in himself. He has pitched a brand of ball that is seldom seen in college ball in this locality, and for some distance about. We predict great things for this young mound wizard. Pat will pitch his fourth and last champion ship crew to a title this season.

PATRICK FARRELL, pitcher-Pat was the under study of Buzz Sweeney, and he pitched a brand of ball that was a credit to himself and his club. Pat has speed and curves, and above all is a hard worker who is there with his club at all times despite the breaks. When he ascended the mound he gave all he had, and he got results. Pat has three more years with the club, and with continued experience is going to be a great pitcher.

HOWARD BUSHELL, catcher-In baseball Bush has played the outfield with no little ability, held down short and third in the infield in Big Time style, and has taken mound honors in many a tight game. But it was as a receiver that Bush found himself. He stood head and shoulders over the men who played against him. He handles his pitcher with class, he steadies his infield and is quick to catalogue batsmen and their weaknesses. Much of our success this year is due to this sterling athlete. Bush has played his last game for St. Viator, and this college will not soon forget his splendid record of service.

199

VINCENT McCARTHY, outfield-Mac made a name for himself on the horizon limit, playing the out field with all the cleverness of his football and basketball performances. A fine judge of the offers, there were no holes poked in the atmosphere around his sections. He was a fast man in covering the sod, and is developing rapidly in the batting department. Mac has two more years with the team. We wish him every success.

JOHN BARRETT, utility-John is one of these dependable fellows so necessary to the season's life of the team. An infielder of no little ability and an outfielder who need divide honors with no one, John was a valuable man in the emergencies. Johnnie has ascended the mound and has a few scalps to his credit. He will battle against any odds and was a valuable man in the coaching box, where his fight and pep were a strong asset to the fighting spirit of the club.

TOM JORDAN, outfield-Tom is a fine outfielder and a strong performer with the club. He chalked up some fine hits that helped compile the old score sheets. Tom played his first season with the team, and with the three years remaining to him should develop into a fine player of recognized ability among Conference fans.

--- ··--RAYMOND FRANCIS, catcher-A stubborn injury received in football kept Ray from the game this season. His loss was greatly felt, for Ray was a scrapper and a fine receiver. He enjoys the distinction of having played with four championship teams, and in his playing days stood head and shoulders over the catchers of the Con ference. His work with the bat was extremely valuable to the outfit, for his work was characterized by his timely hitting and his clever base running. Ray has played his last game for St. Viator, and the College and his mates will miss the work of this fine performer. His peppery support, his "line" to the batter, his raucous war cry will be the note that fans and players will miss, for it was the expression of that spirit that gave the school repeated championships.

LEWIS MURPHY and EMMET MURPHY were strong outfield reserves. Chub was a dependable man in the outfield and had a good arm. His work with the stick was strong foT his first playing year, and with continued experience he should develop into a feared man at the plate. Emm did some mysterious things with the bat. His performance lacked finish, but Emm always managed to gather in his share of substantial bingles. His fielding was dependable and his returns strong and of good range.

June 3.-6.

The festive week has come, With its load of treasured love And the teachers love their boys, As they never loved before, The books are Aung aside Deserted now each hall, Forgot the long, long day1s In this the last of all.

The Graduates awake, To end their student's dream, And soon they all will know, Things are not as they seem. 8. At last I must away, To seek vacation bowers, To tread her shady path, Forgetful of class hours.

Here we are at the dear old place, Our eyes see not one familiar face But only the Freshies verdant green Is much in evidence and easily seen. · The Juniors and Seniors grew wise in the past, And take their time about coming to class

19.-21.

These three days we will combine Because we· ve spent all this time, Astudying, astudying our new Prex, And our conclusions have been an X.

22.

The bunch begins to straggle in, Each one begins to wave his chin, They tell of city, town, of camp, How they sought out places which still were "damp" They lie with a zeal, they lie with a zest, They"re bound and determined their tale will be best.

23.

With more old timers around the place, The Freshies have sad music to face; The crank for the sun-dial must be found, Likewise the key to the parade ground These, with many another trick, Keep Freshmen from getting home-sick.

The Fresh grown bold by large numbers Audaciously roused us from our slumbers. They issued a challenge to all the world That when the Seniors their flag unfurled, They'd haul it down, and in its place Put one of green to match their face 28. The challenge accepted with unholy glee, Those Fresh must learn some truths of harmony, As the clans of old poured forth at the call, The Uppers and Fresh came out of Roy Hall. But Right conquered Might, and before that night The Fresh were reduced to a pitiable plight.

29. About this day we can say nothing more Than that every one felt pretty sore From the bumps they received the day before.

OCTOBER, 1921 Oct. l. We go a walking down the street, We trail a nifty Jane; She sports a pair of high-heel shoes And floats a hefty mane. We double time and hurry up; We plot a clever scheme But as she turns and looks around, Things ain't just what they seem.

The Juniors hold a get-to-gether The purpose being as to whether They shall let the faculty rule Or they themselves shall run the school.

Dec. 21. VACATIO -DARK AND DREAR"SADDEST' DAYS OF ALL THE YEAR' 22. We can· t resist to tell you here: It's my birthday-Remember it next year. And now we'll cease to be a pest: And give my pen and you a rest. JANUARY, 1922. Jan. 4. Vacation is over and classes again. Up for breakfast and English at Ten.

Spike gets up; Chub stays in bed. Give Chub credit for using his head, While Mac and Dizz to breakfast go. Why they get up we'll never know.

St. Louie came up, from down the pike; Viator won with a tenner strike. Coot and Ben and Mac were the twinkling stars, But the Love feast was sponsored by Belicose Mars.

When the letters come in at the P 0.-you · 11 see, Frank for his mail,-"Case" for Marie. 9. Our Varsity took to the trail today To meet with Millikin down Decatur way. Our gang fought hard, but lost the game. Cheerio, lads; we meet that bunch again.

10.

The Varsity's still on that trip, Sparks B. C. the next to slip. Their scalp added to our growing list, Oh, Boy' Can't you see a championship.

11.

Charleston was a victim right. They can't stand up to Viator fight. Another win of Confer�nce yield, To clinch our claim upon that shield.

The team from DeKalb invaded our Aoor. A mathematician had to count up the score. Winty showed the home boys some nifty class, But we feel he was inspired by a Normalite lass.

Charleston "Norm" takes a hefty chance. The Varsity quintet sure had them in a trance. 3 3 to 22 was the final score; r�1ve tnc. Of course we couldn't ask for more.

GREETINGS, ALUMNI The Extension Fund Campaign for a Greater St. Viator inaugurated some weeks ago is now well under way. The unmistakable attitude of our alumni, the uncompromising pledge of their loyalty, the unques tioned assurance of their support and co-operation is not only a source of encouragement, but, likewise, a guarantee of the ultimate success of our undertaking. From cities and hamlets throughout the length and breadth of this broad land, from Bishops, Priests and Laymen, letters bespeaking the love and gratitude they hold for their Alma Mater come each day to our desk. It is truly a comfort for the Viatorians to know that their years of consecrated labor has earned for them the respect and esteem of countless friends, while meriting for them the boasted love and unfailing gratitude of the hearts and the souls which they have fashioned and nourished at their humble fireside. And grateful, too, are we, noble sons, to God, if we have been a potent inAuence for good in your life, to you, for your thoughtful remembrance, your cheerful acknowledgment and generous promise of helpful assistance to permit us to continue, unhampered, the great work to which our lives are consecrated. In the names of those who have preceded me in the office, which I am honored to hold, names blest and revered and reverenced by each adopted son, permit me to express as sincerely as I may the appreciation which wells from the hearts of the Viatorians. J. D. KIRLEY, C. S. V., President, St. Viator College.

THE CAMPAIGN Alumni of St. Viator College, the campaign is on The objective is a fund of $500,000 to enable St. Viator College to carry out its long-cherished plan of extension which includes a new dormitory, a new The Object science hall and equipment, and other sorely needed additions and improvements. This sum at first blush may seem large, but it is imperative that it be raised if this college is to continue its noble work of higher Catholic education. It can· be raised I It will be raised! Success, however, will not come through placidly giving moral support and letting someone else do the work. Each alumnus must work and work hard. He must encourage others to help.· He must get the vision of a Greater St. Viator and direct his energies to that end. I

St. Viator College has a splendid appeal. It has done great things in educational and spiritual fields. In the fifty-four years of its existence, it has not asked often for aid while at the same time, it has delped The Appeal many deserving boys to an education. The devoted Viatorian Fathers and Brothers have labored unceasingly and unselfishly for others. Their lives and hearts are bound up in this college. Not for them selves, but for Your Alma Mater, do they make this appeal. Surely you will heed the call. It is up to you and you and you to make their dream of greater helpfulness come true. Preparing for this drive has been a monumental task. Due to the fire of 1906, insufficient clerical help and other causes, the records of alumni and former students were in a sadly tangled state. Bringing order Organization out of this chaos, locating the present addresses, zoning the alumni into divisions and further subdividing these divisions into centres, preparing forms, writing thousands of letters-these things have meant weeks of diligent effort. At last the organization for the campaign is taking definite shape. This toil of assembling the parts will be forgotten in the smoothly-running machine, and such a machine is being built up to reap a harvest of dollars for St. Viator. Each alumnus has an important part in this campaign-a responsibility he dare not neglect. It was only after a series of meetings in which the possibilities of success were carefully considered that the effort was decided upon. These leaders counted on you in their delibera tions. Now you must not fail them. As is shown graphically by a chart elsewhere, the campaign though with a single aim, is divided into three separate drives. The Northern Division, with headquarters in Room 1341 Congress Hotel, Chicago, has The Mr. James G. Condon, '91, a prominent attorney and active Chairmen alumnus, as its chairman. The Southern Division has its headquarters at the College in Bourbonnais, 111. In response to many requests, and since its organization includes the present student body, the Very Rev. J. D. Kirley, C. S V, President of St. Viator, was made chair man. A third drive will take place in Kankakee County a)1d headquarters will later be opened in the city of Kankakee. Mr. William Erzinger, an enthusiastic and popular business man of that city, is chairman. As honorary chairman for the combined effort, the alumni are fortunate in the acceptance of the Rt. Rev. Alexander J. McGavick, D. D., '85.

--=-·· In addition to the three concentrated efforts, a mail campaign will be conducted from both· Chicago and Bourbonnais. Headquarters to reach all alumni at a distance. The' campaign slogan adopted is "Give it or get it." These words are self-explanatory and preclude a refusal from any alumnus no matter what his circumstances may be. If he cannot afford to give it himself, his efforts among his friends will surely result in a "Give It or substantial sum. l t is believed that nearly all will give and Get It" secure contributions from others. Already dances, bazaars, rafAes, fairs and other forms of raising money are being considered in those centres where organization has already begun. These activities are heartily encouraged by campaign leaders. In Chicago, however, solicitation only will be followed. An idea of the system of centre organization may be obtained. These centres are cogs in the organization of the division, each having its general chairman, co-chairmen and active committeemen, all reporting through _.. channels to the major headquarters. Centres for reaching all the. surrounding territory have been or are to be organized at Aurora, Assumption, Braidwood, Bloomington, Chatsworth, Champaign-Urbana, Clinton (Ind), Chicago, Dixon, Decatur, Flanagan, Granite City, Indianapolis (Ind.), Joliet, Kokomo (Ind.), Kentland (Ind.), LaSalle, Litchfield, LaFayette (Ind.), Mattoon, Moline, Ottawa, Peoria, Rockford, Rock Island, Sheffield, Spring Valley; Streator, Sheldon (Ind.), and Springfield. Father Kirley has been dividing his time between headquarters in Bour bonnais and Chicago. He has already visited some centres and will try to visit all before the campaign is completed. In Chicago, the Rev. J. F. Ryan, a former President of St. Viator College, is taking an important part in the direction of the drive. Dr. Alexander W. Burke, president of the alumni association, is most active in swinging the Chicago alumni into line. The responses from "The old boys" all oYer the nation has been extremely gratifying and the organization already accomplished, in the light of the condition of the records and other hindrances, has been phenomenal. Men of St. Viator-this is your opportunity' This is your chance to do something big for the old school. This extension fund will be an enduring monument-you'll always be proud that you had a part in raising it. Now is the time' You know what to do' LETS GO, ST VIATOR r

AN APPRECIATION TO THE PRESS The President and Faculty of St. Viator College and the alumni desire at this time to express their appreciation of the publicity already given to the campaign by ·the Chicago and state press and by the Catholic Press. Father Donovan of "The New World·' has been particularly generous with his col umns. No effort of this sort can succeed without publicity and the reception of St. Viator's press stories indicate that a splendid co-operation may be expected from both general and sectarian newspapers.

The Confessions of a Cake Eater It was some time after I had become addicted to the use of the powerful pastry that this episode took place. I was sitting in my room enjoying a morsel, but in my indulgence I took an overdose with the following results: I was in the pit of the coliseum which was crowded to capacity, for it seemed to be a holiday, and from the great Emperor down to the angry ,mob, everyone was there in full regalia. I was _clad in the scanty armo·r of the gladiator and upon closer observation I found my opponent, a huge man of evident Gaulish extraction. He rushed at me furiously, and it was only by expert footwork that I avoided being hacked down in the first round. After leading my opponent for three laps around the arena, I cut across and coming out behind him, hewed him down to my own size and then tripped him full upon his nose in front of the boxes. The angry howling mob in the galleries cried out in glee, "Thumbs down, thumbs down," but the placid Caesar was moved to return a verdict of thumbs up; and so I was forced to allow him to arise. He immediately attacked me afresh, and this time the world seemed to rock on its foundations; the galleries held many familiar faces; and those in the boxes assimilated my professors; the Caesar became the Dean of Studies. I was swept off my feet-the galleries pleaded for thumbs up, but even as the light of day failed for me I saw the inexorable verdict of Father Bergin: "Thumbs Down 1" I awoke in a cold sweat to find myself writhing on the floor beneath the ward-robe. We suggest as the battle-cry of the class of 1925: "Two-bits Out!" Keenan: Dundon is a speedy boy. Why, ten minutes after he has met a girl, he can kiss her. Kurzy: Why what takes him so long 7

Excerpts From the College Catalogue ECONOMICS I, GENERAL COURSE. It is well known that the Spaniards were the progenitors of bull-fighting, but it is also now acknowledged that the Americans are its foremost perpetra tors. To the student desiring to qualify as. a first class toreador, we recommend this course as a broad foundation in the art of bull-fighting. MATHEMATICS VII, THEORY OF It VES'fMENTS Classes in this course are numerous and are held at all hours during the week, especially after ships have come in. Seven card stud affords an excellent example of compound interest, while th·e sevens inscribed on the mysteriows African cubes will leave a lasting impression of the power of progressions in accumulating and discounting funds. The Course is named after these expo nents. COMMERCE III. Classes are held usually once a month (shortly before the close). Stu dents enrolled in this course have the opportunity to present a satisfactory account of the amount expended for shoe laces, and soap in the last thirty days. An intimate knowledge with the many avenues of expenditure is of great help in the fabrication of the monthly letter home. SURVEYING I, GE ERAL COURSE. Held with propriety during the spring period. Classes are held in smay groups around the campus. Small sections are afforded the best opportunitll to make the complete survey of all types offered for inspection. Doc Kirby: What kind of an instrument is that 1 Kurzy: Shoe horn. Doc Kirby: What does it play? Kurzy: Foot notes. College students and thermometers have one thing in common-both are graduated with degrees. "Vanishing cream is the right word for it," said Pat Sweeney, as he looked high and low for the missing beautifier. Homer K.: I wish I were a star. Edna: I wish you were a comet, and then I would see you only once in a thousand years. A Freshman To His Fountain Pen (On Thursday l ight) A bottle of ink and thou, And a sheet on which to write. A theme due tomorrow, Has gotta be done tonite. Gold and black and gold And full of purple ink. You're pretty, there's no doubt, But you don't help me to think.

MALES AND FEMALES, PERFECTS AND TEA-HOUNDS Use Our Nerverol Are you nervous' Do you jump at the popping of a cork in a restaurant 1 Are you afraid of exams' Do you have trouble in tieing a bow tie 1 Are you irritated by the sound of the knocking on your door in the morning' Do you have difficulty in keeping your seat at a funeral or at a baseball game 1 Do you run from motor trucks and blind dates 1 Do burglars, lunatics, explosions • or race-riots- bother you, . If you are in any way susceptible to nervousness under ordin'3ry conditions like the above, only Nerverol can save you. As conclusive proof of the efficacy of Nerverol we submit the following letter from one of the country's most popular citizens: Dear Sir :-A year ago my nerves were completely unstrung. I took them to a neighboring doctor to have them re-strung, but all operations failed. My occupation, that of a doughnut dusting cooky-roller, necessitates poise in speech. I now have poise in everything and even poison whisky. At last I can smile at the settee huggers when they ask me for a shot, and I r::m no longer afraid to make them pay for their drinks. (Signed) Francis J. Lawler. 1 inety-nine per cent of our people are nervous; the other one per cent live in the Bourbonnais District, where there is nothing to excite them. Look on the map today and find out if you are in the nervous zone. If you are, send for our moss-covered booklet, which will enable you to regain that home-brew complexion and that Aapper·s walk. -Adv.-At your nearest druggist. Peggy: There·s no man living who will ever kiss me. Donahue Well, I believe you on that point. Convent girl (entering music shop): Have you "Kissed Me in the Moon light", don't think so; I'm new here. Maybe it was the other boy. Clerk:

On the Other Side of the River One day I was hunting and had just killed a couple of eagles which fell at my feet. A gentleman approached me, saying: "My friend, you need not have wasted your powder on those eagles. The fall alone would have killed ---them.·· As I was admiring the beautiful sunshine this same man scoffed at me and told me the moonlight was better. When I asked him why, he told me, "The moon is more useful than the sun. The sun only shines during the day time when it is light enough to see without it, but the moon shines at night when we need the light most ... Donnelly: I asked her if I could see her home. Donovan: And what did.she say 1 Donnelly: She said she'd send me a photo of it. "That goes without saying," said Coot Lyons, pointing to the dummy.

Ray Warner: Did you ever kiss a girl when she wasn·t looking? Bud Farrell: 1 ot when she wasn't good looking. Says Father Lowney, History Professor: "This man was ver much . wrapped up in the midnight oil.' It is to be hoped that he was not of a fiery nature.

"Your face seemed familiar, but I coulcln·t place you for a minute." "Oh. I enjoyed the dance immensely... 'Tel just as soon; in fact, I'd rather ·· ''I've just had a wonderful time." "1 o, I'm not a bit cold." Martha W.: I think you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to put your arm around me. Buzz: I am. Martha W.: You knew very well your arm wasn't long enough. COURSE REVIEW Chemistry I. The course comprises an introduction into smells, smoke and salicylates mostly smell. The student gets an apron and a textbook (sometimes), and bets the college twenty-five or sixty dollars that he can break more glass than he can pay for. He always loses. Chemistry is the most dangerous way to work off a science requirement: if you don't flunk the course, you get an arm blown off. Greek. There is no use in taking Greek. They won·t shine your shoes any better, or cook your eggs any softer no matter how much you talk to then,. If you want mental exercise, take "Determinants and Analytic Geometry of Three Dimensions"; if you crave culture, take "Chief Contemporary Drama,"_ But don't take Greek; it would be all Greek to you anyhow.

Sociology.

There·are only two things necessary to get by in this class; one of them is to remember the division of the wealth of the country, and this is easily remembered by the magic numerals, 60 - 2. (! o, no, this is not a football signal). Another important thing is to endeavor, in so far as possible, to keep awake, for it is a veritable hardship for the professor to tell the fellow next to wake you up before you saw your head off.

Spanish.

In other colleges, fussing is not primarily a course, but in the subject under review, you can obtain a fairly accurate knowledge of the science of the art. The mfmbers of this course are always the strongest in the advocacy of co-educational instruction, as they insist that it enables them to study harder.

Familiar Sayings You don't have to be a baker to discover the cake-eaters. Love may be blind, but it's seldom that your classmates are. (Take notice, Farrel!.) A family tree does not always produce peaches. Hitting the high-ball does not increase the batting average. (A word to the wise is sufficient.) Many are called but few get up.

E Is Not Such a Bad Letter After All Some have advanced the opinion that the letter · 'E" is the most unfor tunate letter in the English alphabet, because it is always out of cash and always in debt; never out of danger and in hell all the time. But for some unknown reason this individual· has overlooked the fortunateness of the letter "E... We might call his attention to the fact that "E" is never in war and always in peace.

---- ·--The Uninvited Guest Two-Seventeen-the trysting place, The time-the witching hour; While tiny, twinkling tinsel lights Over the ··steamer" glower, And cast an eery, misty light Around our secret bower.

About the board w�r� a little group ) us.t five, as I recall,, And the game went on in silence, A silence that would apall, Till of a sudden ? footst�p Sounded along the hall. Then sharp on the eery stillness An importune rap was heard. "Who can it be?" · 'Twas Phil that spoke. "What late night-prowl-ing bird Dares interrupt our little game 7 " But the prowler spoke no word. "I wonder if he's one of ours... 'Twas Oizz that now did speak. Then Phil spoke•up in whispered scorn, "The chances are he's meek." But only one of those brave lads Went to the door to peek. An apprehensive lad he was Who dared to face the door, And with each step his nether limbs Trembled more and more. Wide swung the portal and frmned therein The Prefect-wild and sore. The figure on the threshold, With a flashlight in his hand Was quite all too familiar, For he was in command. One and all, in silent dread, Awaited his demand . ..

With that the prefect introduced Some tactics unbeknown To corradoreadors, And to all but him alone; But the party dislocated, That much at least I own. The first one on the carpet Was the torreador "Dizz," ÂˇAnd he felt more like a milk shake Than the dizz he surely is, And he landed in the wash bowl, With a frown upon his phizz. Then Little Phil decided That the hour was getting late, And the prefect, he agreed with him, For he was quite irate. And Little Phil went homeward With a shanty on his pate. ' The Turk was next to disembark And wander on his way; And Irwin followed close behind, But not without dismay; For reasons beďż˝t known to themselves, They were not quite so gay. And thus the party ended; 'Twas gloomy at its best. Who won the game 1-Now surely you Must have already guessed. Bew.are, my friends, and figure on

ACJHHEVE The goal of every ambitious man and firm is typified in the rapid growth of the Jahn 1:9' Oll,er Engraving Company-the uni• versa[ esteem in which their art and plates are held by the large national advertisers -and the enviable reputation for prompt deliveries which they enjoy. Delivering this same high quality and careful personal supervision to schools has built up for us the largest college and high school annual engraving busi· ness in America-400 books yearly. Thirty thousand square feet of floor space (4 floors) and over two hundred and fifty skilled employees are required to meet the constant demand for "J&O" commercial photographs, art, color process plates and photo engraving ( one complete floor is devoted to color process work). lntell,gent supervision ofall work by many skillful office service men eliminates your troubles. Sales service men sent everywhere.
