Regal towers and spires of holy Fanes, Where clearer Iruth in sable reigns, Halls of Learning's court and citadel, Receive a long, not last, farewell; Fading out the reflective eye, yet seen, Rich harvests from you will mem'ry glean. Comrades of the classic bower, adieu, How sad to part when friends are few— Still, again the feathered heralds sing. Time s on his arbitrary w^ing. Through the portals of onrushing years We pass with smiles or tears; Yet, the lamp of wisdom has been lit: Live in the world and not with it. Now, farewell to those of pensive brow Who have true bent the supple bough, They advanced us where we paused before, Remember this of them the more. Through the portals of uncharted night, The myriad planets plunge aright, He that guides them o'er the fire-swept way. Will light us to the better day.

CROWE JOSEPH M. KISSANE, JR. Vice-President Treasurer BERTHOLD VORSANGER DENNIS J. ALLMAN Student Representative CAROL G. KIRBY Senior Class History TRUE history of the class of 1924 probably never could be written. The events that have been most influential in the growth and development of the class spirit have been unno ticed affairs of the daily life of the campus, rather than the events that today stand out as the big occasions of the course. If it were possible to bring together in some sort of compen dium, the associations of every day spent at the University, the countless walks on the Main Path, the casual conversations in the post office, the hours spent at studying; in that chi'onicle would be found the true epitome of the life of the class. But even though the record of the few outstanding achievements of the class during its University career falls short of an anlysis of the causes of the development of the class genius, it does show the nature of that genius. And while big affairs like the Sophomore banquet and the Junior Promenade mean little in themselves, they are nevertheless import ant because they symbolize the co-operative endeavors of the individual students of the class to do something for the school. In the same way, the first event in the life of the class, the occasion of the matriculation of its members at the University on the twenty-fifth day of September, 1920, is recorded not because in itself it was particularly important (matriculation on that day was similar to that of many other registration days) ; but be cause it represented the successful endeavors of one hundred students to come together at the University, the formation of a class destined to play a large part in the life of the University. The hazing that followed registration, a period in which the new class was made to wear green caps, obey the traditional rules, receive the custom ary beatings at the hands of a harsh and indiscreet vigilance committee, and go on unpleasant nocturnal tours over the countryside, was a period in which the class was finding itself. The self-discovery came very soon. On the night of Columbus Day the Freshmen, chafing under unjust oppression. Thirty-seven HRr-CARDlNAl met secretly on Killion Field, organized themselves into a solid phalanx and marched across the campus with the intention of establishing their inde pendence by going through the Main Gate. Met by the opposing forces of upperclassmen, they engaged in battle for several minutes and when the smoke had cleared away, it was found that the chairman of the vigilance committee had received a severe beating, but that on the other hand, over one half of the Freshmen had disgracefully run away when the fightbegan . But the class had found itself. Columbus Day was the real beginning of its activity as a class. And in spite of the fact that it had to admit fail ure in an attempt to pull a few Sophomores and many more sturdy oak trees into Duck Pond, and was forced to accept the small end of the score of the annual football game of Freshmen versus Sophomores, varsity and ref erees, in spite of these apparent set-backs, it came through the fall of that year a well moulded class, acting under a keen and acute class consciousness. Many of the class would undoubtedly feel inclined to look back upon the first class election as one of the decisive dates in class history, the day in December when the P'reshmen were called together in McMahon Hall and Bobby Denault was elected president. Bobby had been a star half-back on the varsity football team. His almost unanimous election was an indica tion that the class was still pure and uncontaminated by the atmosphere that was to permeate its meetings in later years. Affairs after Christmas in the Freshman Year are not usually consid ered imjiortant because, overshadowed by the events of the fall, they do not linger in the memory. It would, however, be interesting to have a record of the experiences of the Freshmen at their first mid-year examinations, their fii'st retreat, their firstJunio r Prom. For in such impressions, never to be known, was the class built up, imperceptibly but surely, into the strong organization it came to be. But there are two big occasions of the Fresh men Year after Christmas still talked about. One was the occasion of the Sophomore Banquet when the Freshmen, after creating an unprecedented rumpus on the campus, went to the Hotel Dewey, presented themselves as Sophomores and had eaten one course of the Sophomore Banquet before the real second year men arrived, escorted by a squad of police. The other occasion was the Freshmen's own banquet held in April at the Hotel Hadleigh. Planned as a dignified gathering at which several of the more serious-minded classmen were to speak on the various phases of class activity, it was by unanimous consent, turned into one of those festive gatherings for which in the years to come, the class of 1924 became famous. Springtime, with Freshmen stricken more poignantly than others with those fancies towards which the season direct young men's attention, of fered new modes of activity, "around the bend," and opened up wide fields of endeavor in the Old Soldiers' Home. Fine weather, good baseball games and successful finalexamination s closed the first year satisfactorily. There is a great difference between the Freshman who leaves in June and the Sophomore who returns to the University in the following September. The Freshman who in June proceeds rather cautiously with the recognition the upperclassmen at that time begin to give him, during the summer months has plenty of time to think about himself, and with the admiring remarks of fond friends and parents ringing in his ears, as- 1924 Thirty-eight (M^^-"^' sumes an air of importance that makes him quite officious when he gets back to the campus. The class of 1924 was not an exception. Its members returned to the University fully believing that in them the University had its most valuable asset. Profiting by their own experience they took up the task of hazmg the Freshmen and enforced rules and regulations under the withering blows of Brookland trolley straps. The Freshmen were given two duckings in the Pond, the second one being demanded by the upperclassmen who arrived too late to witness the first. The annual football game resulted in a tie score because the Sophomores refused the aid of the referee and because instead of making gains with the ball, two of the foremost Sophomore play ers spent most of their efforts "getting" a certain tough-boned Freshman player. Danny Curran, another of the varsity athletes, starring in his Fresh man year as football half-back and second baseman on the baseball team, was elected president of the Sophomore Class. It was in the elections of this year that the seeds of partisanship were firstfoun d to take root, to bloom forth later in the full glory of hot politics. But it is a noteworthy fact that in spite of the many acrid contests within the class, not once were they allowed to jeopardize the integrity of the class on the effectiveness of its work for the University. In the second week of December, after some difficulty over the violation of rules, the Freshmen barricaded themselves in St. Thomas Hall, which was stormed by a strong force of Sophomores. The battle that followed on the verandas and in the hallways resulted in many casualties and for a time threatened completely to demolish the venerable old structure. The fight ended only when both sides were exhausted and when the Board of Disci pline, that had been frantically remonstrating from the sidelines, finally succeeded in making itself heard. The Sophomore Banquet was held on February 28th, efforts of the Freshmen to the contrary notwithstanding. The banquet was held at Hotel Ebbitt, amid the hilarious convivialities that had characterized its predeces sor in the previous year. But the biggest event of the Sophomore year, indeed an event that marks one of the outstanding contributions of the class to the traditions of the Uuniversity was the Sophomore Week End. The week end celebrations, centering around the Sophomore Prom, held the last week in April, were an innovation on the campus. From Friday morn ing until Sunday night, the campus was alive with parties, dances, plays and baseball games. The plan of making the big dances of the year week end affairs, thus introduced by that Sophomore class has been adopted by all classes since that time. After the week end, attention turned to the end of the year and to the plans for the following year when the class was to be elevated to the upper level of the campus. There is always an air about Juniors that makes them the most popu lar class on the campus. Freshmen regard them as protectors. Sophomores respect them as superiors and Seniors are almost willing to accept them as peers. The class of 1924 seemed for this position "to the manner born." Naturally care-free and unrestrained, b\' policy lenient, with Freshmen, yet unrelenting towards the Sophomores their old enemies, they soon estab lished themselves as a leading factor in campus life. ^^i^;^^!i.®>?®^§^; Joseph Mulville who had been a class officer in other years was elected president of the Junior Class, after the usual colorful electioneering. The attention of the class during its Junior Year as well as in its Senior Year was turned from functions strictly of the class to the dii-ection of the more gen eral affairs of the campus. Juniors were becoming leaders in the work of establishing and maintaining the Tower. Junior athletes were showing the way in football, basketball and baseball. The dramatic association, the de bating society and the various social and musical clubs were all dominated by the influence of the Juniors. There remained the one crowning function of the class before its final Commencement, the Junior Promenade. P^ollowing out the custom estab lished in the previous year, the Junior Prom became the center of a festive week end in February. A basketball game, the Prom itself, club dances, tea dances and theatre parties attended by the largest holiday crowd ever at C. U. made the week end a veritable mid-winter carnival. After the Junior Prom came a long period of calm, during which the class settled down to prepare itself to take over the reins of campus government from the Seniors. As Seniors the class assumed a dignity and showed an appreciation of responsibility that had not been expected. Under their supervision the di rection of campus activities was placed to a greater extent in the hands of the students. For the first time in four years, the Senior class elected the President of the Athletic Association and the student reiirescntalives on the University Athletic Council. Thomas ,J. Crowe, an acti\e member of the class and well groomed for otlice-holding by his jiart in the affairs of the class during other years, was elected president. The election meeting held in October and subsequent meetings held during the fall for the purpose of organizing the work of the year will be remembered for a long time, because of the intensity of the (lel)ates that occui'i-ed. In these meetings it may be said, that peculiar gen ius of the class foi- parliamentai'v activity reached its flower. During the first half of the Senior Year, the activities of the class were the)se involved in supervising all campus events. A Flag Rush between the two lower classes was organized and successfully staged. Pep meetings be- fore football games reached unusual degrees of enthusiasm and culminated finally in a grand celebration on the eve of the Maryland State game, in which a large bonfire was built on the campus and the studants paraded the streets with red lights until a riot call of the custodians of law and or der sent patrols-full of bluejackets swooping down on the campus. But the most important work of the class, individually and collectively, was that of preparing for Commencement. While the class members were executing all sorts of manipulations of courses to insure their degrees in June, a class day committee worked hard to perfect the plans for the Commencement Exercises. It was decided to hold the Class Day exercises, something new at the University, the aftenioon before Commencement, and to hold Tree Planting exercises in March, on St. Thomas' Day, another new function introduced by the class. "It is good to be young in youth, and as the years go on, to grow older," said Stevenson. And indeed that was the sentiment of the Class of 1924. wnen at the end of its last year, it looked back upon its University career drawing rapidly to a close, and ahead to the new things of life that Forty age and work were to bring. The class was not a superclass. Its genius was the genius of the commonplace. Its contributions to the University lay in its ability to realize the possibilities on the little things of campus life. The class was in a peculiar position. It was at the University during a pe riod of transition. The last of the small classes, the first of the large classes, it had elements of both. Its successes and its failures, its losses and its achievements, whatever they have been, were the results of this peculiar blend of the small University with the large, this unique commixture of young and new blood with the ideas of an older age. R. S. Q9A WJF' S^INAI Senior Law Class Officers President JOSEPH A. WARD Vice-President Secretary JOHN J. BERGIN EDWARD D. DOCKERTY Treasurer Student Representative MAURICE J. BUCKLEY RAYMOND F. WILLIAMS Senior Law Class History FRESHMAN YEAR OR so many years since the memory of man runneth not to the contrary, the Catholic University Law School had been waiting for something. What it was no one knew. The problem was solved with the opening of the University in the fall of 1921 when forty young hopefuls, who were to form the beginning of the law class of 1924, made the pilgrimage up the main path to the Registrar's office and thence to that of the Dean's. Shortly there after, the said forty were informed that they were not going to spend the next three years reading Blackstone; but that abstracting cases and making good use of the treasures stored in the law library would be the means of accomplishing the end each had in view. The venture into the legal field was a new experience to all, but with the aid of a very capable and long suffering faculty, we soon grasped the spirit of the C. U. law school and realized that ours was to be a life of work. Having formed a speaking acquaintance and well knowing the necessity of organization, we held our first class meeting and elected the following men to office: William Shea, president; William Gushing, vice-president; Al fred Cavanaugh, secretary; Gerald Donohue, treasurer and Eric Smith, student representative. In social activities, class spirit and C. U. pep, the class left nothing undone to make their presence felt during their Freshman Year. Bob Reuss, Ray Williams and Andy Healy had much to do with the success of that year's dramatic club's presentation, and a majority of the class were active members of the Shahan debating society. Our smoker to which the upper classmen were invited, was the big event of the year. To the football team, the class gave Ed. Lynch, Jo-Jo Lawler, Andy Healy, Bill Yeager and Ed Harris; to the basketball team: Captain Ed. Lynch, Jo-Jo Lawler, Pat Flanagan and Bill Yeager. Ed. Lynch, Bill Yea ger and Jo-Jo Lawler were also members of the varsity baseball nine. Forty-three JUNIOR YEAR Upon our return as Juniors we found several of the fellows missing, due to their having transferred to other law schools or to their having aban doned the law for business. At the start of our second year, the class as a whole realized that the work they had undertaken increased as they neared the coveted goal. The office of class president was conferred upon George V. Dorsey. Pat rick Flanagan was selected to fulfill the ofiice of vice-president, Andrew Healy to act as secretary, Joseph Lawler was chosen to take over the duties of the treasurer and Edward J. Lynch was elected as student representative. The class banquet, held at New Ebbitt in January will long be remem bered as the outstanding event, not only of the year, but of the three years spent at C. U. The presence of Senator David 1. Walsh and Faculty of the law school, as our guests, made it a real treat for the class. The success of this affair was due in a great measure to the efforts of the committee in charge, which consisted of Raymond Williams, chairman; Edward F. Har ris and Maurice J. Buckley. The class joined with the Junior Academic Class ill managing the Junior Pr(;m. In addition to being rei)resented on the varsity basketball team by Cap tain Joe Lawler, Ace Lynch and Pat Flanagan, the class contained enough talent to put a team on the floor in the inter-class league.

SENIOR YEAR Usually the first event of the school year to be recorded in the class history is the result of the annual election ; but three of our classmates have made it necessary to depart from the usual order, as a result of their haste in attempting to satisfy their desire to tour the surrounding country. It is rumored that it was nothing more than an attempt. But, however, it IS a tact that Ed Harris, Tom Lovas and Ed Vincent did drive out to school one afternoon in that famous Oakland, and after a few more months, it would be good-bye to the campus it had so long ornamented, never to return. The class, which now numbered eighteen, elected the following men as offie>ers: Joseph A. Ward, president; John J. Bergin, vice-president; Edward p. Dockerty, secretary; Maurice J. Buckley, treasurer and Raymond Wil liams, student representative. The student council later elected Ray Wil liams to serve as secretary of that body. Enrique Sanchez' sudden and mysterious disappearance in December was the cause of much concern and gave rise to innumerable rumors, which were not quieted until Senor Chamarro informed us that Henry was in Spain and intended to enter a monastery there. Diego later received word that his former roommate had given un all thought of entering the monas tic state and would resume his study of law. Although well represented in attendance at the various functions, and by membership the different committees, the social activities of the class Forty-four necessarily gave way somewhat before the heavier scholastic burden of the Senior Year. The increase of early morning classes was a real hardship upon Joe Suraci who is a Washington boy and found it necessary to hop a one man car. The entire class, with Ed Dockerty as chairman, made up the committee for the annual Senior Law Dance which was voted a successful aflfair by all who attended. Our two letter men, Eddie Lynch and Jo-Jo Lawler again captained the football and basketball teams, respectively. Lynch and Lawler were C. U.'s best bets in both sports and their places will be difficult to fulfill next year. Andy Healy and Pat Flanagan were also members of the varsity squad. In the annual football game between the Seniors and Juniors, the work of Andy Healy and Ed Harris contributed greatly to the victory of the Seniors. Joe Ward, Ed. Dockerty, Vin Dorsey, Pat Flanagan and Andy Healy made up the court team in the interclass basketball league. This aggregation sat a new scoring record for a team representing this class. We regret that the time has come for our denarture. but the years spent at C. U. will be a pleasant memory which will live with us forever, and serve as a guide and a stimulant in our endeavor to reflect credit en our Alma Mater. G. V.

MEELAN Vice-President Secretary CHARLES C. HELTMAN NEWMAN F. MCEVOY Treasurer Student Representative ROBERT T. ROCK JOHN P. PRIOR Junior Class History T the opening of our freshman year -vve were a timorous ag gregation, to say the least. We stood out from the rest of the crowd by virtue of the parti-colored caps set at rakish and foolish angles on our hanging heads. For us the road to Mc Mahon Hall was not the path across the campus, but the winding and torturous road that made going to class a matter of concern. Also, many rules for us to observe were devised by brutal bar barians, known to the world as Sophomores. They jealously guarded our welfare. That we might not deteriorate physically they allowed us to carry heavy trunks up interminable flights of narrow winding stairs. For fear that our cultural education might be neglected, they invited us to sing and perform aesthetic dancing before their assembled hosts. Yes, they were good to us. Football engrossed our attention, and besides giving to the varsity squad Kerrigan, Face, Healy, and Toben, we turned out for the freshman team Tierney, Moore, Ryan, Brennan, Ford, McGuiness and Costello. This last aggregation played the sophomore team to a scoreless tie, in which we threatened twice, but lacked the punch to send them down to defeat. During the game the chief of our oppressors was removed from the field, a grim -warning to his fellows. Our class was organized just before the Christmas holidays, Kerrigan being elected president; Hagan, vice-president; Tierney, Larkin and Kel ley being secretary, treasurer and student representative, respectively. That same day we threw off the yoke of our masters, assembled in St. Thomas Hall, and proclaimed to the world our ne\v state of indepen dence. The Sophomores attempted to storm the fortified stairs and join combat; but we descended to meet them. The excitement -was intense, but the damage very small. On February eighteenth, we held the Freshman Tea Dance at the Had leigh Hotel, a function originating ^vith us and never before attempted by i^ymi'^^:^m^:^?^i'^>^^^^^j:^^§m.924^<^^^ Ninety-seven i^ri^^HiiiJii^^ any other freshman class. The affair was a great success, being attended by upper classmen as well as freshmen. The dance was the foundation to our social prestige, and a boon to our treasury. Even had we given no other addition to campus activities, the Freshman Tea Dance \vould be suf ficient to make our class long remembered. In class athletics we were numbered amongst the best, and such organ izations as the Glee Club and the Shahan debating society drew many mem bers from our ranks. When the Dramatic Association was formed, the efforts of the Freshmen went far towards making it a success. All in all, as Freshmen, we were a credit to the University and as the year drew to a close, there were none on the campus who believed us incapable of guiding the next year's Freshman Class in the paths of virtue and wisdom. It could not fail to impress us as somewhat queer that the passage of three short summer months should effect such a change in our social status. To our tender mercies were delivered a group of shrinking Freshmen, and it must be said that we did our duty by them. We "wised 'em up" in many ways, and guarded their interests along many lines, in short W'e deserved the confidence they reposed in us. As a final demonstration of our sujieriority, the flag rush was substi tuted for the tug-o'-war, and on the campus in front of Gibbons Hall, our class repulsed with ease the futile efforts of the Freshman to tear down our banner. A note of discord entered our relations with the P'reshmen when they prevented several of our members from attending the class banquet at the Occidental. When they gave a similar function, several days later, we firmly, but sorroNvfully, detained a third of their class. Our officers for the year \vere: President, John Ford; vice-president, O'Reilly: secretary. Costello: treasurer, Meelan and student representative, Kerrigan. They were all that a class could require its officers to be, and if their efforts went unrewarded, they did not go unappreciated. With us the dignity of the office is its sole reward. The men of our class awarded the "C" for their work were: Brennan, Toben. Moore and Ford in football; Larkin in basketball and Ignace in base ball, all of tliem representative men. Then came the Sophomore Prom. It ^vas expected of us, the origina tors of Freshmen Dances, to equal, if not outdo, all other Sophomore Prom.s, and we lived up to and beyond all expectations. To say the aflfair was a success would be weak praise, it was a "knockout". The Prom was a result of months of planning, the best music Garber-Davis could furnish and the best decorations "Bil" Carr was capable of, -were in the Gym. Our second re-entry to the University was divested of all thrills. Time and associations have adapted us to "the old place", and when another year rolls around, -^ve feel like at loss no matter where we sojourn. Most of us have grown to like the place and the others have adapted themselves to it. Football season made its entry, and claimed not only our attention as a class, but also the services of Brennan. Kerrigan, Moore, Tobin and other Juniors for the Varsity squltd. When the season ended the loyal supporters of C. U. derived satisfaction from the thought that although many players of note would be lost at graduation, there would still be a number of vet eran Juniors to carry the Red and Black to victory next year. Ninety-eight When the election of officers was held "Ike" Meelan succeeded Ford to the presidency of the class; Heltman took the place of O'Reilly; McEvoy fills that of Costello, while Rock succeeded Meelan and Kerrigan held his position for another year. The class was fortunate, not only in its officers, but in the committees selected to settle the two leading questions of the Junior year, to wit, class rings and the Junior Prom. The ring committee, under the direction of Brennan procured the best rings obtainable, which the members wear \yith pride. It may be said here that most of the rings are still in possession of their original owners, few being stored in the great north-west or further down the carline. Words cannot express the merits of the Junior Prom. The commit tee in charge procured the best music money could buy and Mr. Carr and his time-savers outdid themselves decorating the Gym. for the affair. Those in charge did not allow the item of expense to interfere with their artistic tendencies, and the student body cheerfully paid the piper. The result was what might have been expected of the class -whose dances were always "ne plus ultra." The Junior Prom, has al-ways been the chief for mal function at the University, but the standard has been considerably heightened since the twenty-second of February of the current year. Those who follow us will be hard workers if they surpass the brilliance of our Junior Prom., or in truth, if they attain the same dizzy heights. So endeth another year, marking the passing of the third quarter of our career at Catholic University. Only a short year remains before w^e join the hurrying crowd of those -who labor for a living.

LOUIS Junior Class Law History HE past has been accounted for and history has been made of it, so it remains for us to take up where others have left off. in It is with this in mind that the writer continues the story of the Law Class of 1925. After having cast aside the cumbersome books of legal knowledge for a period of rest, we returned to the University in the fall of 1923. Everything seemed natural, from the shaven lawns, to the stately structure that were to take up again the tread of our feet. We unhesitatingly entered that sanctuary of silence; the law library, to record our names once more as those willing to plow deeper into the intricacies of the law. We were determined to fit ourselves "to ride abroad redressing human wrongs." But we were constrained to notice the absence of faces we had known well. "Bill" was back and so w^as "Humpty". We came across "The Jiggs" and we met "Nig" and "Mitch." and others but there were other hands that we could not grasp in friendly clutch. Something has been said about "quality not quantity." After about a month of campaigning and in the wake of brilliant nom ination speeches, the following officers were chosen to lead the Junior Law Class through a successful and prosperous year: James B. Connell, Presi dent ; Leo A. Mitchell, Vice-President; Daniel J. Lynch, Secretary; George H. McCormick. Treasurer: William J. Shea, Student Representative, and Clifl^ord H. St. Louis, Class Historian. With this active group of person ages, the class has lived up to all expectations. -^1924°^^^ One Hundred and One This year we combined our efforts with those of the Junior Academic class in the conduct of the Junior Prom. This great social event will be remembered by all who attended as being perhaps the finest ever held in the spacious Gym. The Tea Dance which followed the Prom, was a fitting close for the Junior -week end. Besides maintaining our high place as students, we gave the best we had to uphold the honor of Catholic University in the domain of athletics. The performances of such men as Connell and Donohoe on the gridiron, are among the things that we, as a class, can justly speak with pride. And it can 1)0 fittinglysai d of us "That we live in deeds not years." The Varsity basketball squad drew from our class men like Donohoe, Mitchell and Mc Cormick. There are things that never fade from memory. We will always be quick to remember such things as the flow of oratory that fell upon the ears, when as junior counsels, our fellow students were called upon to ex pound the legal principles in Law- Club or to plead to the jury in Moot Court. All was not rosy however when to us again fell the "honor" of being addressed as "Gentlemen of the jury." We cannot easily forget the ready responses and quick wit that emanated from our brother students. There is one sentence that will stand the test of time and that is: "How n-iany ,\'(Ui got for tlii,-- class?" But tlic road still stretches ahead of us. For a little time yet we shall experience all the jest and bustle of marching feet. The swift running seasons, like couriers bound for the front, shall still find us on the road, and shower on us their blossoms and their snows. Whichever it may be, this is so written as to recall those happy days which we spent as Juniors at Catholic University. So it is with this consoling thought of Longfellow: "Give what you have to others, it may be iK'tter than you dare think," that the writer dedicates this bit of chronology to the Law Class of 1925. \<^^L:=f^^ One Hundred and Two W^M '{%*;, JiiSf,c. -..^zii::..

WHITE PAUL DRANOW Student Representative JOHN F. MCKEOWN Sophomore Class History ITTLE need be said about our Freshman year. That has already been set down in history, but we cannot refrain from calling to mind the fact that we had the best Freshman football team ever known at the University. We may ven ture to state that we bowed to nobody in the gentle art of carrying the ball over the line. Our success in basketball came quite close to football. As a result of our great achievement in ath letics, we established a precedent by giving to each of our athletes, a fine red sweater with white class numerals. When we returned to the University in the fall of this present school year, we found ourselves in "the seats of the mighty" and the guiding lights of the Freshmen. We remembered our experience as Freshmen and ruled with firm but kindly hands over our charges. Our first meeting of the year was for the purpose of electing officers. The results could not have been better. So the ship of 1926 sailed placidly forth with Jack McGann as president, assisted by Bill Grant, vice-presi dent ; Jack White, secretary; Paul Dranow, treasurer, and Kernel Mc Keown, student representative. Our athletic prowess was contiitued from the preceding year and we gave valuable material to the varsity in the persons of White, McGann, Gallagher, Dornish, Northrup and Garvin. Four of them are now wearing the coveted "C." In basketball Garvin and Mclntyre were our represen tatives. Our first clashes with the Freshmen, which afforded a great deal of amusement for the whole student body, were the annual tug-of-w-ar and the flag rush. In both -w^e were easily victorious. On the occasion of the tug-of-war, we remained on the dry end of the rope, while at the end of the struggle in the flagrush , the pennant of 1926 still ^vaved triumphant and defiant in the breeze. One Sunday morning we beheld a strange pennant flying from the flag-pole. Upon close scrutiny \ve discovered that it was the newly-born flag of the Freshmen, and immediately Ave went into action. We routed out the Freshmen and after many attempts W^^J?^^\Q24'^^^ One Hundred and Seven n tpC NAL succeeded in making them take it down. The best part of this little inci dent was the "Sophomore-Freshman" battle. After the Freshmen flag had been taken down, we ordered them back to their rooms and the sec tion living in the "Flats" refused to go. We proceeded to make them, meeting with a great deal of opposition. But after the rather bloody engagement we were able to cry: "Ours the Victory!" In our football game with the Freshmen the score was a tie, 6-6. It was the fir.st time we had not been decidedly victorious in any undertaking, but we feel that we are to be complimented on the fact that we did not go down in defeat before the overwhelming odds which we had to face. Our next event of importance was the banquet. We held it at Har vey's and every Sophomore will remember it as long as he lives. In order not to cause any trouble to the Freshmen in attempting to detain us from leaving the campus, we all went to towi-i early in the morning. The day was spent in a tour of Washington's places of interest and Congress being in session, we spent some time in listening to the nation's orators. To wards evening we met at the Washington Hotel and marched down Penn sylvania Avenue to Harvey's, where the banquet awaited us. Since oui' an-i\al at Catholic Uni\ersity, the swimming team and the boxing team have come greatly to the fore. In these we find in(lisi)en- sable members in men from the Class of 1926. \\'hen we look info the fields of dramatics, glee-club work and excellence in studies, we find the result is the same. Now as we sit, liasking in the radiant glory of the past, we turn our minds to the future and lind looming in colossal proportion before us, the Sophomore week-end with which is combined oiu' Prom. So now we take this matter in hand while hojiing for the best. "/ hare written the tale of our class To tell how we've all made out.

MCCARTHY .1 Secretary Treasurer JOHN WINTERS JAMES KENNY Student Representative EDWARD J. BLIGH Freshman Class History HE Class of 1927 made its firstappearanc e on the campus September twenty-fifth, 1923. We came disorganized, green and inexperienced, but with an abundance of pep and spirit that set the heart of "Fitz, the cheer leader", jumping with joy. Almost the first thing after registering, we were intro duced into the intricacies of an expressman's profession, and we soon became sympathizers of all who are engaged in the moving bus iness. Then the rules and caps; and still more rules! How swiftly they piled up and what terrible penalties were exacted for dehnquencies! However, we gracefully submitted until the morning of October 8th when the rising sun was reflected by the brilliant coloring of our class emblem, which proudly floated from the main flag-pole. Consternation reigned in the ranks of the Sophomores, but quickly organizing, they hurriedly over came our disjointed resistance and tore down the flag. This incident was followed by an afternoon "Gym party" where several Freshmen served as involuntary subjects for the Sophomore class of higher tonsorial art. Our next effort to find a foothold was in the tug-of-w^ar. Our team fought well and gamely but was pulled in by the stronger and heavier Soph omore team. Then the flag rush in which, according to custom, the Soph omores retained possession of their flag; but many are still under the impression that they were saved by the gong. Our real triumph over our deadly enemies was on the gridiron in the annual clash between the classes. General opinion conceded the Sophomores an easy victory, but the Freshman team, fighting heart and soul to establish the class, outplayed and outgamed their heavier and more experienced opponents in every de partment of the game and the 6-6 tie score was truly a great moral victory for the Freshmen. M' One Hundred and Thirteen Still we were not a real class until the firstSaturda y in December when Mr. Thomas Crowe, Senior class president, called us together in McMahon Hall for the purpose of organizing us. He presided over the meeting and we elected the following officers: James Aspoas, President; John McCarthy, Vice-President; John Winters, Secretary; James Kenny, Treasurer and Ed ward Bligh, Student Representative. Under the able guidance of these of ficers, -we quickly forged to the front in all school affairs. After our return from the Christmas holidays and our triumphant (?) encounter with the mid-year examinations, the first event of the Freshman class took place. It was a combination of the class smoker and the recep tion by Bishop Shahan. The recreation room in St. John's Hall was ap propriately decorated for the occasion and a most enjoyable evening con cluded with a few interesting remarks by the Rt. Rev. Rector and the Vice- Rector. Scholasticallv. athletically and socially, the class of 1927 has made itself a shining light in the annals of the Catholic University. The class and school spirit evinced in every affair is the envy of the classes here now and an ideal for all coming classes to emulate. J. McK.

LYNCH BERNARD L. EBERTS X XK: s^K—a One Hundred and Twenty y//r .y/A History of Athletics at Catholic University T would be an impossibility to give an accurate and concise resume of the athletic achievements of the Catholic Univer sity, but to satisfy the desire for something that would be of common interest to all of us, we have collected from the ar chives the history of certain events that we hope will give some idea of how things started and w-hat we did in the "Olden Day." During the period from 1895, when the graduate school for lay stu dents was founded, to 1909, C. U. was represented on the gridiron and on the diamond but the accomplishments of her teams are not on record. The first time that a C. U. team engaged in Intercollegiate competition -w'as in the fall of 1895 when a football team was organized on very short notice and went to Emmitsburg and played a game with Mt. St. Mary's. The score of the game is not known but from all accounts C. U. must have lost be cause some of the players &n the opposing team had to be used as substi tutes on our team. Anyhow C. U. athletics had been born and the interest in the team on the occasion of the first game became so intense that the Vice-Rector Dr. Garrigan, gave his sanction to the scheme and showed that he was sincere by giving an appropriation to "carry on." In the spring of '96 came the first baseball team and incidently, the first fully equipped, uniformed team that ever represented C. U. The col ors adopted were the same as the papal colors, white and yellow. The first C. U. victory was won by this team when it defea^^ed the Yale Law School 12 to 4. Gallaudet was also given a beating this same season. This year, the first, was highly successful and brought forward Tom McTighe, the first C. U. ace. In '97 a better schedule and a better team came through and C. U. was firmly established in the baseball world. No mention is made of the foot ball team this year or the next. In the spring of '98, the baseball team with "Deerfoot" Barclay as its hero came through in fine style and won more than the majority of its games. From 1898 to the fall of 1905, there seemed to have been a reaction to the spirit and the all-round interest that accompanied the inauguration of athletics on the campiis and this branch of activity was sadly neglected. However, the s;ze of the student body ranged between twelve and forty men and it can be easily seen that getting a team from a student body as small as this and all doing graduate work, would be a very difficult task. At certain times there were attempts made to organize teams but they soon dropped from sight after one game or so. Notable among these attempts was the organization of a football team that played a tie game with a team from Brookland. This event took place in 1905, and it is a matter of record that the uniforms \vorn were of many different kinds and colors and the players looked almost like the St. Pat rick's Day paraders of the more recent times. The Athletic Association Avas One Hundred and Twenty-one ^ILCHE AL A r\ ill it li f V ^^SJ^.^'^lGOA^' dead and attempts at revival were unsuccessful. Athletics proceeded in this way until the fall and winter of 1909-10. Then came the new era of C. U. athletics. We do not know what the stimulating impetus was that gave rise to this rather sudden outburst, championing the cause, but anyhow C. U. started with a rush into inter-collegiate competition. Perhaps it ^vas the student body itself, or maybe a change in the admiration or faculty, at any rate things were here to stay. The football team of 1909 was by far the most successful of any foot ball team that had come before or after. With Jim Ivors, Jack Daly, Mar tin Tobin, and Neil O'Keefe in the back field,th e team went through the season without a single defeat. Basketball was also introduced during this same year but the team had no coach, no uniforms, no hall to play in, and no regular schedule not to mention the difficulty of even having the scores of the games it had played put in the paper. The baseball team of 1910 succeeded in winning two games over Georgetown and winning the Southern championship. "Red" McDonald, Chief Green, Dutch Hessler, Devries and Clancy were listed as the star performers and Pete Noonan was the first coach. It must be remembered that the student body this year was extremely small. Probably forty or fifty men being registered in both the undergraduate and graduate schools. On the opening of school in the fall of 1910 a large freshman class reg istered and C. U. began another successful year. The football team won half of its games, basketball got a good start and baseball came forward with a better team than ever, winning from Columbia, Bucknell and Georgetown. Track athletics were instituted in this year and a coach by the name of Weber was engaged and the team had a most successful sea son. This year also marked the beginnings of Interclass games. The next .year found an even larger student body, better teams in all branches of sport, and more favorable conditions. In football three games were won, two lost and one tied. Basketball was most successful and the biggest item of interest was that Fred Rice was signed to coach basketball. Ever since, as this article will show, his teams have been winning consist ently, but this means little or nothing when we compare his coaching record with the wonderful benefits derived from being associated -with his wonder ful personality. We could say ^vithout fear of contradiction, that the influ ence of Fred Rice has had more effect on the men of the University who have played under him, than any other individual who has ever been at tached to the University in any capacity. Mr. Nielsen took over the reins of coaching in football the following year, 1915, and a great team was developed. Maryland was given a beating that has not been repeated since. The stars were Shortley, Johnny But ler, L. Costakis, Ed. Killion, Don McKenna and Capt. Murphy. Basketball w^as again a winning sport, featuring Keegan, Gallivan and Cartright. "C. U. had the South Atlantic Championship but in Walked Jimmie." '§>:^^wi'^^^>^m^:^?^'^^x'^^^<:^:^<^?^AQ2^'^'^^^^ ^^e^:-"^- 0)ie Hundred and Tiventy-three Baseball enjoyed another year of prosperity, and found Charlie Moran with Don Johnson and Fahey as two very dependable pitchers. Track athletics came into their "hey day" at C. U. Coach Mulligan developed a wonderful squad with an exceptionally fine relay team and a great all around runner in Fields, who is probably the best track man ever at the school. On one occasion he won points at a South Atlantic Meet in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash, the 440 and 880-yard runs, and in ad dition to this he ran anchor man on the relay team that broke the South Atlantic record. This year marked the appearance of Tom Gormlev in a C. U. uniform on both the gridiron and track. In the fall of 1916, when the football men were called together, only four were missing from the year before. A hard schedule was carried through with four wins and four losses. Maryland beat us 13 to 9, and time was called ending the game with C. U. in possession of the ball on Maryland's three-inch line. A riot almost followed. Baseball this year under the coaching of Moran and aided by some ex ceptional battery talent won the South Atlantic Championship. During the year 1912-13, the Athletic Council was organized and it be came the ruling body on things athletic. The Athletic As.sociation was aisp reorganized with William C. Walsh, Law '13, as its president. Football this .year was only medioci-e, but the basketball team was great and so was the basebaU team. Under the leadership of "Silent Jim" Horan as captain and Pred Rice as coach, and starring Keegan, Clancy and Donnelly, the team won the South Atlantic Championship hands down. Tennis was adopted as a minor sport this year and the team won the ma.iority of its matches. Under her "Genial" Coach ]\Ioran, C. U.'s baseball team made a won derful showing. The renowned Wally Pipp of New York Yankee fame played the stellar role as a heavy hitter and an all around brilliant fielder. Football in the fall of 1913 was not a winninij: snort, but the other teams continued to grow and prosper. The basketball and baseball teams winning many important contests and having best claim to the South At lantic title in both sports. In the fall of 1914 Charles Y. Moran was made Athletic Director, dis placing Coach Weber who had acted in the capacity of Graduate Manager. Football continued in the rut. Basketball came through as a winning team and was marked by the breaking off of relations with Georgetown. Base ball enjoyed another winning season. Shortley, Butler, McKinney, Manning, Murphy, Straub, Killion and Rogers were the stars. Shortley and Butler being particularly brilliant. Basketball was only fairly successful but the team won seven out of the twelve contests played. O'Brien, who captained the team, played wonderful ball, scoring always five or six baskets in a game and on two oc casions dropped the ball through the hoop for Uvelve goals. He shot fouls with an unerring eye and very seldom missed. One Hundred and Twenty-four Top Row—Kerns, Wade, Guilfoyle (Athletic Committee), Duane, Mott, Stock, Middle Row—Igoe, Collins, Tuohy, T. J. O'Brien, Bolton, Murray. First Kow—Regan, Caulfield, Cashman, Murphy, McTighe J. J. O'Brien. Track employed another successful year with Kean, Allenholf, Glascott and Mulcahy in the limelight. Mulcahy, who is still here studying for the priesthood, Avon second place in the 50-ward dash during a three-cor nered match with the Navy and Johns Hopkins. These points proved to be the margin by which C. U. won the meet. In baseball "Boston Sull.v" (Sullivan) as manager, with the aid of Charlie Moran and Johnson, Fahey and Kendricks, star pitchers, put in a great season. White, Killion. Jimmie Caffery, (Cyanite) Butler, Lynch, Shortley and Steve Moran filled in the other position and C. U. went great guns. C. U. won from Harvard for the first time when Johnny Butler knocked a homer with the bases loaded.

Another achievement of this team was the defeat it handed Holy Cross at Worcester. Then came the War and with it the general exodus of C. U. athletes and students. All teams were practically abandoned. Attempts were made to play out schedules but the teams were not up to the standard and V' very little interest was shown. The basketball team of 1918 was only fairly successful and baseball suffered a like fate. The S. A. T. C. footbafi team played a few games but it was not a representative C. U. team. In 1919 when the school reopened Tom Tracey was made coach of foot bafi. The team won three games and lost the remainder of an eight-game schedule. Scotty Glascott, who had played a brilliant game for the two years preceding, was the star of this team and it was the same "Scotty" that shared the honors with O'Brien in the successful basketball season that fofiowed. Baseball was not successful this year but brought out a star in Scootch Lucey, who is at present playing with Jersey City in Minor League Bah. The South Atlantic Track Meet was held in our Gym. Rutledge, Mc Laughlin and Glasscott winning points and the C. U. relay team won from G. W. and Gallaudet. In the fafi of 1920 a new coach, Harry Robb, assumed command, with Fritz Murphy as captain. An altogether too heavy a schedule had been arranged and the team were mostly new men. Among the newcomers were Ed. Lynch, Bobby Denault, Dutch Eberts, Danny Curran and Pep Fasce. Mike Dunn and Cy Corwin were the only regulars from the year before. This season was notable for the famous stand the light but griddy C. U. team made against Maryland. The twelve points scored by Maryland came in the final minutes of the finalquarter . This same year Maryland had defeated both Rutgers and Syracuse. The season ended when Denault grabbed a forward pass and ran 97 yards for a touchdown in the last game of the season with George Washington. Lynch, Dunn, Corwin and Curran all played good ball. Five games were lost and three were won. Basketball with Ed Lynch, Pep Fasce, Reds Gleason, Mike Dunn, Billy Kelly, McNamar, Donavon and Eberts on the squad played wonderful ball and won thirteen out of eighteen games played. Princeton was beaten 23 to 17 and Ed Lynch scored more points than the whole Princeton team. Penn, the then collegiate champs, defeated us by the small margin of two points. Baseball this year was another banner year, due mostly to the great mound work of Mark Jackson and Bill Dollard. Mike Driscoll, now with Toronto, Ed Lynch, Billy Mack, Mike Dunn, Cy Corwin and Danny Curran helped C. U. win nineteen out of the twenty-three games played. Among the defeated opponents in baseball this year were Army, Navy, Maryland twice, Fordham and Villanova. The South Atlantic Indoor Meet was again held in the C. U. Gym and Bobby Denault and Harold Del A'Vergne both scored points in the dashes. One Hundred and Twenty-seven In the fall of 1921 Harry Robb was again with us and a better team and a better schedule were in the making. Somehow the season was not as successful as it might have been and the three wins and the five losses made the record the same as the year before. Red Leghorn was captain, Ed. Lynch played wonderful ball, and Danny Curran, George McCarthy, Buckley, Connell and two new men, Tobin and McKeon, also played well. The season closed with a 19 to 7 victory over G. W. Basketball found Ed. Lynch as captain and a few leftovers from the year before, among those being Dutch Eberts, Ed Donavon and Corwin. The new men were Jo Lawler, Joe Fasce, Olaf Yaeger and Frank Dowd (now with G. W.). The schedule was a tough one, too tough in fact, but C. U. won eleven out of nineteen games played. Ten of the nineteen games were played away from home. Ed Lynch \vas at his best this year and stood out head and shoulders above the others on the team. Baseball was only fairly successful. C. U. won thirteen and lost eight. Mark Jackson and Jack Clark did the hurling with Corwin behind the plate. Mike Driscoll, Denault, Lynch, McCarthy, Breslin, Vail, Heberger, Yaeger and Lawler making up the men who played in the majority of the games. For the history after this we refer you to the Cardinal of the class of 1923 and the atl-ilctic history in this book. Before closing it would be well to mention some of the really great men in C. U. athletic history. McTighe, Barclay, Crook, Shortley, Butler, Killion, Green, Pipp, Rogers, Kendricks, Johnson, Lambert, Keegan, Horan, O'Brien, Gallivan, McDonald, Denault, McKinney, Jackson, Driscoll, Lucey and finallyth e best of the whole bunch.

It was the only team that came near to smearing the brilliant season's record com piled by Yale, being forced to defeat in the last few minutes of battle by a close score. Maryland smashed its way to victory over our lighter aggre gation. Lynch, as usual, i)layed a marvelous game, both offensively and defensively. Garvin made the only C.

Lynch, play ing in his last game for C. U., was at his best. Twice he intercepted forward passes and galloped long distances for touchdowns. His punting kept the Hatchetites in their own territory throughout the fray. One Hundred and Thirty-four Line plunges were the order of the day, and for once the Varsity played a team no heavier than themselves. It was the farewell appearance for most of the team and all des,ired to leave a good impression behind them. In all his years of playing, the "Ace" never showed to better ad vantage. It cannot be said that the team had to work very hard for their victory, but while they were playing, the regulars played well.

An entirely new team, fortified in every department with new timber will represent C. U. on the gridiron. It is our happy task to follow closely the accomplishments of the Varsity Squad of 1924. All eyes will be upon them. Games to date on our schedule include: September 27—Holy Cross at Worcester. October 4—Quantico Marines at C. U. November 1—Maryland at C. U. November 29—George Washington at Washington. Pending games are as follo-ws: Bucknell, Hopkins, Washington and Lee, and Mount Saint Mary's. 'M92-*.

The Freshmen met and defeated Western High School to the tune of 12-6. This game gave them the much needed courage and they set their teeth for the next opponent, the Maryland Frosh. However, this was the story of a willing but poorly coached team against a smooth working com bination. The yearlings literally ate mud and were defeated by the score of 27-0. The Frosh put up a stiff fightbu t were unable to withstand the terrific assaults of their opponents. Our light backfield, Keale, Bligh and 11! V Lafond, fought a nervy, losing fightthroughout . Moynihan, the center, was a great impregnable wall before our enemies. The only trip of the season made by the Freshman was to Newport News to meet the Naval Apprentice School, which boasted one of the best coached and fastest teams of the South. The yearlings were one of the few teams to hold them to a low score. After putting up a brave fight, the al most unbeatable Apprentice team were victors over the Frosh by the score of 20-0. McCarthy was the outstanding star of this game. -:±:A^ One Hundred and Thirty-seven Toward the end of the season, the yearlings showed a decided improve ment. In defeating Emerson 16-3, they displayed a superior class of foot ball. Bligh, Keale and McCarthy played an excellent game. The backfield men consisting of: Bligh, Lafond, Bonomo and Culhane are to be commended on their excellent playing throughout the season. Bligh and Culhane played a steady game and Bonomo, though late starting, set a dizzy pace for all opponents; Moynihan, as center, was a bulwark of defense and a tower of strength on the offense. He shapes up well as var sity material. Lafond, fullback, -was a veritable plunging amazon. Mc Carthy, at end, is heavy and fast (a rare combination) and a deadly tackier. The two tackles McKendricks and Aspoas, last but not least, proved them selves worthy of their positions and their excellent showing kept them as regulars throughout the season. The season proved to be very successful. The class of '27 showed their appreciation by awarding sweaters and class numerals to the members of the regular squad.

The forty-minute period ended in a tie and C. U. lost in the ^^ extra fiveminute s of play. Breaks of the game all went to the advan tage of Loyola. CaptaVin Joe Lawler played a bang-up game and caged three difficult baskets. Eberts kept his man from .scoring and also gather ed in three baskets. Lynch played his usual steady game. A feature of the game was the large band of C. U. rooters who travelled to Baltimore to see the game. One Hundred and Forty-two Fordham 23; Catholic University 26 HE trip north did not prove to be a success. However, C.

This game gave the team a strong foothold on the South Atlantic championship. To say that any one man starred would i)e an injuslire to the others. The team-work and tight shown by the team was a revelation. The play by both teams was almost perfect and the gym rocked with applause at the wonderful skill and technique of tlio iilayers and teams. Lawler and Eberts contributed sensational plays when each dribbled the length of the floor for a two pointer. -WTf George Washington College 6; Catholic University 25 •j^ HE varsity scored an easy win over its old rival, George Washing- 2^ ^on.

The Varsity had a comfortable lead at the end of the first 1^ half, the score standing at ten to two. Coming back for the second half, the Marylanders turned the tables and had the game sewed up nineteen to eleven, with but fiveminute s to play. The Varsity at this point broke loose and the two teams fought like wild cats. Lawler's defensive play was wonderful, and he broke up on many occasions what appeared to be a sure two-pointer for the visitors. Breslin and Eberts each caged a trio of baskets during the forty-minute period. ^£VJ7 University of Maryland 19; Catholic University 38 Y^ HE C.

Coach Rice's team avenged an early season defeat at the hands ^M of the Brooklynites. The varsity accounted for twenty-three points in this half, cutting, passing and timing their shots with such pre cision that the St. Francis charges w-ere bewildered. The defense of both teams was perfect in the first half, the visitors leading by the score of five to three. Lynch was the leading point getter of the game, accounting for four baskets and three tosses from the fifteen-foot line.

WJT North Carolina 35; Catholic University 22 j^-jlHE southerners presented the smoothest, best .shooting aggregation V-v^ to show on a C.

In the second half Newark set a pace which the varsity could not quite equal. Garvin accounted for three two pointers. "^^^ I Army 22; Catholic University 19 APTAIN LAWLER and Company played rings around the highly touted team on the Hudson during the initial period, and the game ^^ looked like a walkaway for C. U., the score standing at seventeen to five. The second half was a repetition of the first,excep t that Army was the floormaster. The C. U. team worked the ball up under the basket for apparently easy baskets, only to miss. The game was snatched from our" hands in the last minutes of the game when the Army ran and half 3iS dribbled the length of the floor for two baskets apparently unnoticed by the officials. With a little more luck in shooting, C. U. could have copped the tilt in easy fashion. v^Esa7, University of Maryland 14; Catholic University 20 ATHOLIC UNIVERSITY for the second time during the season con quered its old rival, "Maryland," in their new gym at College Park, this time to the tune of a twenty to fourteen score. Loyal C. U. I rooters saw Ed Lynch in his masterly role assisted by "Jeff" Mc lntyre. One Hundred and Forty-seven George Washington College 19; Catholic University 36 DDIE LYNCH was in great form and almost defeated George Wash ington single-handed, gathering in a total of seventeen points for Q the Maroon and Black. Lynch was the keynote of the team's play ty and was the floor general at all times. Donohue and McCormack f'j played impressively when they were put into the fray in the latter stages J' of the game. Eberts, Fitzgerald and Mclntyre were in the spotlight at all times. Dowd played best for the downtowners. li Fordham IS; Catholic University 14 l'i HE \isitors had a fast, powerful team, but one we had defeated on jA; tlieii- home court early in the season. They came with blood in their J, G eves, and thev got it. C. U. had danced the night before, again in ii the afternoon before the game. If there had been an orchestra 'j jiresci-it, the team might have made a better showing. The Jesuits took '| a(!\antage of our team's condition, and (lro])])ed the leather through the netting so fast it made the C. U. crowd dizzy. Lawler's absence contrib I uted to the defeat. ,y Gallaudet 14; Catholic University 24 RESLIN led the scoring attack counting five times from the floor. The team guarded so close that in the first half the Kendall Green © tossers could not toss the leather through the iron rim, and the half ended twelve to two. Lynch played his usual steady game and con tinually fed the ball to the forwards. Lynch's playing was of the type that marks one as being at the head of his class. One Hundred and Forty-eight tHF^rARTllNA City College of New York 31; Catholic University 29 j^lHIS was the speediest game of the whole year. Both teams were yy going at top speed at all times the ball "zipped" from player to ^S^ player so fast the spectators could hardly follow its path. The var sity led the New Yorkers all the way in the first half, setting a daz zling pace which at times approached super-basketball. In the second halt the visitors seemed to take a new lease on life, and proceeded to tie the score. At this stage of the game, Joe Lawler, who had been out of the game for several weeks because of an injury, appeared on the floor in uniform. The spectators went into a frenzy, but to no avail, for Lawler came too late. The Maroon and Black immediately set a pace but to the handicap which they had to overcome was too great. La-wler's presence seemed to stem the tide, and with a few more minutes we would have won. Eddie Lynch played a remarkable game, keeping the team in the running at all times. He caged three goals from the floor,an d made seven free tosses out of seven trials—a feat worthy of the best. Before the game "Ace" Lynch was presented with a gold watch in behalf of the student body in recognition of his contribution to the athletic achievements of C. U. This was his last appearance in a Red and Black uniform in intercollegiate competition. It also marked the last appearance on the court of Lawler, Eberts and Breslin. These four men will go down in C. U. history as four of the great est players that ever wore a Red and Black uniform. Lynch and Lawler can be classed as two of the best guards in the east.

Only four hits were made throughout the game; one made by Amherst in the eighth inning and three by C. U. Amherst scored one run in the fourth inning on a walk, a steal, and an error, and a fielder'schoice .

Lawlor will again hold down first base and with Garvin at short, Mulville at second and Ignace at third, the infield is well taken care of with splendid talent for reserve in Connell, McCormick and Foley. With Denault, Breslin and Cummins in the outfield as regulars our speed and heavy hitters are well cared for. Each are veteran players on the varsity team and with their experience should present as good a college outfield as any team in the East. This aggregation looms up as one of the best balanced teams ever seen at Catholic University.

OJ S X. •r iTi The Season y^^lHE Catholic University Swimming Team brought its 1924 season V-/ to a close in the early part of March. This marks our first year as gggg members of the Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming Association, Catholic University having been admitted to membership in the league last June, and naturally enough our mermen suffered defeats at the hands of the older clubs in the circuit. But do not think for a minute that this constitutes a disgraceful showing. All four of the other teams in the league are of a high caliber and present exceptionaUy well-balanced combinations. They are wefi coached and have had quite a few years in which to build their teams up to their present standard. It would have been nothing short of miraculous if we had .stepped in and been able to cope immediately with our firmly established fellow members and rivals. The opposing coaches who watched us perform were all of the same opin ion that we possessed some promising material and had done very credit ably considering that we had organized only recently. It is to be remembered that Catholic University scored first place in one or more events against Hopkins, Lehigh and Swarthmore, and it took Rutgers, league champions and one of the best clubs in the East, to blank us completely in the first-honorcolumn . In our only dual meet outside of the league matches we ran roughshod over the Washington and Lee nata- tors, winning 49-22. For a team in its infancy to gain such a decisive victory is certainly extraordinary. This June the team will lose by graduation Manager Hoen, Captain Sullivan, Vignos, Shea and Gorman. Of this year's squad Mangan, crack fancy diver; Chambliss, clever breast-stroke performer; Gallagher, plunger; and Devin and Biberstein, sprint men, will be ready to answer the call next season and should form a strong nucleus around which a much-improved aggregation can be built. The number of points scored by the individual members of our team this season is as follows: Sullivan, 25 ; Mangan, 21; Chambliss, 15; Gallagher, 9 ; Devin; Biber stein, 6; Vignos, 5; Shea, 4; Gorman, 2. It is true that this season's record was far from impressive. Our team won 1 and lost 4 matches. We scored a total of 102 points against a total of 252 for our opponents. Nevertheless, when the disadvantages under which we labored, namely, our initial appearance in the league with a newly formed aggregation, lack of material, no paid coach, insufficient financial backing, and other minor drawbacks, are considered the results One Hundred and Fifty-nine HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL SCORER do not look so bad. .Moreover, statistics are not of any conse(iuence until a team has become firmly established in a sport. We may well consider C. U.'s first year in the league a successful one in that an auspicious .start has been made, much interest aroused here on the campus over the sport, and some fine meets held in our swimming pool. Certainly we need not worry about the future of C. U. aquatics if the Athletic Council takes up the question of a coach for next season, and our men do all in their j-iower to interest high-school natators in the Catholic University. One Hundred and Sixty •'^^^^-s^^--"- ^ ^ Catholic University Tennis Team CAKKOLL G . KiKBY GEORGE S. BROCK, JR Capt (II u Manager SQUAD Regan Mulcahy Kirby Gorman Kuwa.^ HE Catholic Universitv tennis team was organized three years ago and C5 since that time has been making rapid advances on the campus as a minor sport. The last two years have been very successful ones, C. L', meeting the strongest teams representing Eastern Colleges including the well known team from the University of Pennsylvania. This year the team has suffered no great loss through last year's graduation and the bulwark of this team remains in .Jack Regan, Carroll Kirby and Kuwasky. All three of these men are veterans and have proved in other seasons that they are able to meet any competition that might be offered by any opposing college. Jack Regan, a new member on last year's team, is one of the best ama teur players ever seen at C. U. His game is very good and he displays re- One Hundred and Sixty-two markable services and returns which have speed and deadly accuracy. A lot can be expected from Jack this year. Captain Kirby and Kuwasky have both proved themselves real tennis players and we can with justice rank them with Regan. These three could form the nucleus of any well balanced tennis team. The boys will have little doubt as to where to look for amusement and excitement when Regan and Kirby, Regan and Kuwasky, or Kirby and Kuwasky play to gether in practice games this spring. Gorman, Mulcahy and Brock will round out the team and not too little can be expected from these men. Gorman is a veteran and understands the game thoroughly. Mulcahy is a newcomer this year and we do not know just what his abilities may be but his enthusiasm to join the team shows he is anxious to play. Brock is very reliable and while managing the team this year he may not be able to play very much. The schedule presents a very interesting number of games to be played and contests in which should promise us a very successful season. Season Definite dates for tennis matches have not as yet been scheduled. At the present writing the following matches are pending settlement: University of Penn. vs. C. U.—At home.

LYNCH iiNAI "Though we've hated and we've praised you, By the Living God that made you, You're a better man than I am, Eddie Lynch." 0 matter what a man may do during his career in college, there is nothing that holds for long in the memories of his fellow students, except his athletic ability. Even in some cases this fame is buried within a few years after gradua tion. How long the fame of our fellow classmen, "The Ace," will last remains to be seen. Certainly his great feats can never be erased from the memories of the class of 1924. Just a brief review of his record will suffice to show how Eddie Lynch will remain the best of them all regardless of who has gone before or who may come after. He was, although elected only twice, the captain of the football team for four consecutive years, but this captaincy was in no wise indicative of the real honor that he deserved. To say that he played superhuman foot ball is putting it mild. No one but a super-man—a man endowed with an invincible spirit and a heart as courageous as ever walked, could have per formed the things that Eddie Lynch did for Catholic University. We re call on more than one occasion, when the game was over, how he was so exhausted that he could not remove his uniform. We have seen him so lame and stiff after a hard game of football that he could hardly move. Could any man give more to his school and be forgotten? We have seen him go into a game with injuries that would have kept the most of us in bed, and he would play a remarkable game. No one but a super-man would have the courage to do this, but Eddie Lynch did. In basketball for four years he traveled at top speed, cutting, drib bling, shooting and passing, in this he was without a peer in this section or in the whole East for that matter. We saw him in our Freshman year score more points than the whole Princeton Varsity and come within a point of tying Penn, then the Collegiate Champions. The next year saw him lead his team to many victories, one decisive over Virginia, and earn for himself a position on the All South Atlantic mythical team. His third year was the best of them all. It was his great work that made this team the greatest in C. U. history. It was his basket that year against Navy thatp roved to be the deciding factor in that never-to-be-forgotten con test at Annapolis. His fourth year, while he did not show the same brilliant form of the other years, he was still able to keep up with the best of them. No matter what kind of basketball he played in the season of 1923-1924, he gave ah r m %^-=-- One Hundred and Sixty-seven triE /\L that he had, and perhaps too much in other years. Any human structure I: can stand just so much and then it begins to weaken. Ed's has stood enough already and regardless of what we may say of this year, the brilliant Lynch of yesterday so far surpasses his showing of this season that to comment on his weak points would not in any way lessen his pres tige or take away any of his laurels. The constant strain of successive contests and seasons may have kept him from being the Eddie of old, but when we stop to consider just how much he gave to C. U. we feel almost ashamed to mention anything that he might have done but didn't. The "Ace" held down a position on the baseball team for two years Ift'l and could have easily made the team the other two years if he had the time to get away from his studies in the Law School. On the diamond he was one of the leading hitters, batting fourth in the line-up, and was always there in the pinch to drive in the runs with men on base. If any man has ever done for C. U. more than has Lynch our hat is off to him, but we hardly think that is possible. We only hope that in the future, -when the years have made us gray, that we may be able to keep on telling of the gi'eat Eddie Lynch, and, if God wills it, may we hope that li some of those old "C. U.'s" we gave him can come reverberating back from the stands banking the sides of the gridiron, the court and the diamond, and give him the same thrill that the Class of 1924 received from watching "The best of them all," EDDIE LYNCH.

The object of the society is to show the students the practical side of engineering and to bring them in contact with engineers who have gained prominence in their field. Due to the co-operation of our Moderator, Pro fessor A. J. Scullen, many interesting lectures were held throughout the year on subjects connected with our class work. The society was the guest of many large plants of the eastern part of the country during the past year. The students were taken upon many tours of inspection to all the highway and railroad bridges around the Dis trict of Columbia. The District also invited the students to inspect the District Asphalt and Filtration Plants. Many buildings around this local ity were inspected under the direction of Professor Scullen and the students also visited New York and Philadelphia. The social life of the society consists of a banquet given in honor of the senior class by the society. This affair is usually held the last week in May. Besides the above mentioned affair several Tea Dances are held during the year for the members of the Department. ^!^®>?W1^>?^^^=^>?^^<:®<^^^^1924°^ One Hundred and Seventy-three The Electron Society OFFICERS Sponsor PROF.

N organization founded here in 1913 among the Electrical En gineering students with the purpose of promoting among the members an interest in electrical studies not embodied in regular class work went up this year under the name of the Electron Society. But early in the fall it got in touch with the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and in Jan uary was admitted as a Student Branch member. This was a decided step forward and something that Mr. McKavanaugh had desired to see done during the last few years. It was largely through his efforts that the pro gressive change came about. Twenty-tw^o of the Seniors and Juniors made application and were admitted as Student Members of the Institute. The Sophomore and Freshman electrical engineers are also members of the branch here but not of the National Organization. The Branch here not only gave its members the privilege of enjoying the meetings held here at school but also those of the Washington Section downtowm with w'hich the local organization worked in conjunction throughout the year. A meeting was held each month in the Electrical Department of St. John's Hall, at which an illustrated lecture was given, followed by refresh ments and an informal smoker and "getting together." The lectures was given either by a representative from an outside concern, like the Bell Telephone System, or Professor McKavanaugh. In this manner the stu dents became acquainted with the engineer on the outside and the lower classmen with the Electrical Engineering Depai-tment. The slides and motion pictures used at these meetings were procured through the Lecture Service of the General Electric Company and the Westinghouse Electric Company. The Electron Society, always known as one of the most active societies of its kind on the campus, added another red letter year to its service. There is no question that its purpose stated above was fulfified in a very creditable manner. Too much praise cannot be given Mr. McKavanaugh for his untiring efforts in bringing the Society to its present high plane. The pep and good spirit shown by the present Junior Class indicate a con tinuation of the Society's intents and purpose in an efficient manner next year. ^^1924 One Hundred and Seventy-five ^1 ^^ "^ 7^1 -1.1 m I ^r?' l:^<" \ tifc ^ .' 1 JIX£ if^ « 1 k^1 arv p.

CHAMORRO, JR. One Hundred and Seventy-six ^;\\,^y.y^i'-,S:^- The International Relations Club HE International Relations Club of the Catholic University is the youngest of all scholastic clubs on the campus, dating its birth as November, 1922. Although young the club has taken its proper place among the other scholastic organiza tions, due to the untiring work of Dr. J. S. Coutinho, its founder, and supported by an earnest and willing executive committee. The membership of the club is comprised of all students in the Commerce Group. The aim of the club is to promote interest in International affairs, which brings it into close connection with the actual class work of its members. The club has fulfilled its aim by two methods. The first by well- prepared talks on matters of interest of national scope by members of the club. The other method, is the one which has brought to us first hand information of conditions outside our own country. This information was obtained at various intervals through the kindness of several Ambassa dors and Attaches of the Latin-American countries who entertained fhe club with interesting speeches on International Economic Questions. Probably the most distinguished of all those who have addressed the club is the Countess Irene de Robilant who, upon her short visit to the United States in behalf of the betterment of International Relations, gave the club more than an hour of her time in which she-stressed the present need of knowledge of the international condition. The activities of the club have not been entirely educational. Oper ating on the basis that all work and no play would make the members dull, a committee on social entertainment has added various pleasures to our life. Last year a "closed" dance was held in the Architects' Hall, which was an entirely enjoyable affair. So far this year we have had no social functions but preparation has already been made for a dance and later a banquet to take place at the end of the Lenten Season. In the coming years this will be held as the early history of a club that will be large in number, wide in scope and powerful and far-reaching in its actions. If the present progress of the club may be used as a basis in judging its future progress then it is all clear sailing, and its glory will be reflected on Dr. Coutinho, its founder, and The Catholic Univer sity, its home. m .^'vS^^'.^'^^i^^^.ff!

On February 15, 1924, the Accounting Club of the Catholic University of America held a meeting for the purpose of reorganizing the club. After much discussion, the club adopted the name of Paciolo Society of the Catholic University of America, in commemoration of Era Luca Paciolo, 0. F. M., of Genoa, who in 1494 published the firstknow n treatise on double entry bookkeeping. The aims of the Paciolo Society are to establish a greater interest for the students of the Accounting Department in their work and to in crease their knowledge of Accounting, by having well known business men address them on some phase of accounting or business that they rep resent in the practical worW. The Society in the future, intends to place its members in positions, after they have been graduated from the Univer sity. It is hoped that each Alumnus will correspond with the Society, as it will be interested in the progress that they are making in practical busi ness, and will appreciate any valuable information that they may send in. The Society wishes to thank its moderator. Dr. Deviny, for the time and effort that he has given in forming it. Dr. Deviny intends to get for the Society outside information taken from practical sources, such as, old sets of accounting books of concerns. All this material will enlighten the students in points that have been difficult for them. The Society has been making extensive progress within the past year and in its future activities we feel certain that it will become a great success. «S;&i#:K2.i^ One Hundred and Seventy-nine ylHS^DTNAl r\ CJatholic University Dramatic Association Honorary President RIGHT REV. THOMAS J. SHAHAN Moderator REV. FRANK P. CASSIDY Director PROF. JOSEPH F. ENGLISH President WILLIAM T. CRUMBLY Vice-President LUKE H. STAPLETON Secretary JOHN F. FITZGER.4LD Treasurer T. JUSTIN TOBEN One Hundred and Eighty \\-'-'-<^<\\\\>'/v>>;>XV Catholic University Dramatic Association N the fall of the scholastic year 1921-1922, the Right Rev erend Rector appointed the Reverend Frank P. Cassidy to act as Moderator of the Shahan Debating Society. Father Cassidy was intensely interested in dramatics and persuaded the Shahan Debating Society to produce a play under its auspices. It seems proper to say here that whatever good the Dramatic Association may have done is due primarily to the enthusi astic work of Father Cassidy. He financed the first production out of his own means. He secured the services of Mr. Joseph F. English as director. He gave freely of his time and his priceless advice. He overcame all ob stacles of campus pessimism and skepticism, and the play became the fact. After him, is Mr. English, whose conscientious enthusiasm was put into every step of the first play. Mr. English is a young man who under stands the psychology of the college man and he filled the cast selected fbr the "Tailor Made Man" with his spirit. i With a view towards keeping alive the splendid esprit de corps created by Father Cassidy and Mr. English the Cast and Stage Personnel of the first play gathered at a banquet and the Dramatic Association was or- .ganized. The Constitution was approved in May, 1922. Mr. English was unable to return to the University during the year 1922-23, consequently the Association worked under great difficulty. With the exception of the first play of that year, "The Lion and the Mouse," in which Father Cas sidy was assisted by Mr. Ralph Robertson, all the productions were di rected by members of the Association. While they were not quite on a par with the standard set by "The Tailor Made Man," it was a decided step forward. In the present scholastic year, Mr. English returned as a member of the faculty and the work has gone on under his able leadership. We have produced one comedy-drama; one college farce; one melo drama; one playlet, and parts of Macbeth. Plans are being made for another play as this goes to press. Probably no other student activity has so good a record in the short space of its existence. Certainly none has met with the obstacles confron-fing the Dramatic Association in the beginning of its career. The student body and the authorities, partic ularly the Rt. Rev. Rector, have been most kind and to their enthusiastic co-operation is due much of whatever success we have attained. There is a bright future for the Association. <-^^=5^^'/:3^^@>-'^^^® : J !J».^ H^i^ Pnl m^^ 9^ 9*9 9^0lii luP^^I 1 1 1 * J3v*'' i ••'1 II • I 1 * \ 1 • f. t,^*-Vf=,.,wl t \ 1 ! ;'il Tii'- • LI . h\ - ] 1» 9-^iLp fT''» f • ^^iii T ^ t 47'chitectnraI Club OFFICERS Pre.'iident n^ CORNELIUS J.

It effects the lives not only of architectural students, but also of othex's on the campus as several "cagey" Architects' Dances have testified. The purposes of the club are to promote a love of art and to satisfy the social ambitions of its members. During the first of the year the club lay dormant, not because it lacked pep but because of the utter impossibility of obtaining the use of our old dance hall. Early in October a meeting was called by President Kellei*. Several new men were admitted to the club and it was found that we to taled fifteen members. Never were there so many in an architectural club at C. U.! At this meeting plans were formulated for an active social year and great was the disappointment when it was found we could not use our old hall. However, we could not be outdone in everything. Week after week we burned the midnight oil and the result was that every six weeks we sent to New York some of the classiest designs that have ever been exe cuted at C. U. During the firstsemeste r alone we received from the Beaux Arts Institute of Design more honorable mentions than were re ceived during the whole of last year. Under the direction of Mr. Ruebsam, our construction professor, we made several tours of inspection to buildings in course of construction in the neighborhood of Washington. Thus we were able to acquire a prac tical, as well as a theoretical, knowledge of the work. Our library has grown perceptibly by the addition of several volumes acquired through the exertions of Mr. Murphy, our professor of design, and all of us have felt the effects of the aesthetic tastes which have been exhibited by our professor of architectural history, Mr. Bibb. Our C. U. pep has shown itself in our success in interesting the Amer ican Institute of Architects in the C. U. Architectural Department. Rec ognition by the A. I. A. put Catholic University on the map, "architectur ally speaking." Shortly after Easter delegates were sent to look us over. On that occasion we gave a supper at the College Inn; afterwards the ex hibition was held in the Gym and was followed by a dance. Late in May we showed our respect and gratitude to our Professors by a banquet which was given downtown in their honor. Truly this has been a banner year for the club. From a modest be ginning it has grown to make itself felt in campus life. We feel sure that the success which has been achieved will set the pace for the members of future years. ^^ The Glee Club OFFICERS President J. T. GANNON Secretary-Treasurer G. T. BASSET Librarian J.

The member ship of the comparatively new society has neither increased nor diminished, but its veterans have acquired more expe rience, more polish, and a thirst for more laurels. This last is due to the credit accorded the organization when it helped the Pageant of the Catholic Students Missicsn Crusade, "The Dreamer Awakes", to such unexpected success. The chor ales it rendered, Handel's "Hallalujah", Frank's "O, Lord Most Holy", and Gounod's "Send Out Thy Light", were not only well but enthusiastically received. The custom of giving public concerts was maintained this year, per formances being staged at Central High School on February 28, another iri conjunction with the Dramatic Club's presentation of "Macbeth" on March 5. The Passion Week engagement with the Saint Patrick's Players, the three concerts at Walter Reed Hospital and two others in Baltimore, efigagements at the Hadleigh and a Spring Tour of Girls' Colleges, give an idea of the activity of the Glee Club. ' Not the least of the efforts of the Glee Club was the formation of the Catholic University Musical Association, a society formed to advance the appreciation of music amongst the students. Under the auspices of the Association, such artists of merit as Tittman, Kaspar, Hubner and Potter appeared at McMahon Hall to the pleasure of all who attended, Mr. Leo Behrendt continued his direction of the Glee Club again this year. His work has been most untiring and to his able direction may be traced whatever success the organization has enjoyed in the past or will acquire in the future. He assigned to each man the work that he was most capable of performing and instilled into the Glee Club as a whole the i III enthusiasm that has invariably marked its concerts and its rehearsals. To belong to the Glee Club requires more than the mere intention to join. Rehearsals are neither short nor simple, and each appearance must II II be prepared for in advance by an unusual number of practices. Neither the Director nor the members care to deliver anything inferior to their best work, nor have they ever done so. i-'j- '•'??i^@;•<1?^^><^^<^>'?^^•^^®.:.<^?^^ :,^5f^s?\ 924°^' One Hundred and Eighty-five ''flLt-^f''"' 'I'"" *'" Htf^CARDlNAl llie Shahan Debating Society ii ^ OFFICERS Moderator PROF.

The Freshman Class now forms what is called the Junior Shahan Debating Soci ety; it is composed of two units, St. Thomas's and St. John's. Though the number composing the Society was much smaller than one could have wished, considerable interest was taken in the debates which were held weekly. The subjects chosen dealt usually with present day questions that offered scope for debates. The Society has been of invaluable service in stimulating intellectual interest on the campus. It is too bad that more students do not avail themselves of the advantages to be derived from the practice of debating. The final plans for the two great events of the year, the Annual Ora torical Contest and the Rector's Prize Debate, have not yet been made. However if the ability displayed in last year's contest is any index of what may be expected from the Shahan Debating Society this year, we are safe in predicting that they will be very successful. --<^.^^^^1924 One Hundred and Eighty-seven m American Society of Mechanical Engineers OFFICERS President JOHN J. BALINT Vice-President THOMAS T. NEILL Secretary CHARLES W. NEILL Treasurer E. T. SLATTERY I-1 IQ'?-! One Hundred and Eighty-eight Students' American Society of Mechanical Engineers HE Mechanical Engineering Society on the campus is the "Catholic University A. S. M. E. Student Branch." This society, as indicated by its name, is affiliated with the Ameri can Society of Mechanical Engineers. The work of the parent society is well known to all those in the field of engi neering and the student branches which have been organized in the cofieges are to promote interest in mechanical engineering. Student branch members may obtain special privileges if they join the A. S. M. E. upon graduation. The members of the C. U. branch are invited to all meetings of the Washington chapter of the A. S. M. E. and whenever one of the officers of the society, or any prominent members, is traveling, the society tries to arrange to have him address the student sections in the towns where he stops. The Catholic University Student Branch had many offers during the past year from engineers who were willing to address the students' meetings. The C. U. branch, however, has been unable to accept any speakers to the meetings this year due to the small number of members in the section, which would not provide sufficient audience. Some motion pictures were shown, however, since films are indifferent whether they are viewed by a theater fufi or just a select few. The small membership was also responsible for the fact that the branch did not repeat the Mechanical Engineers dance and the Students' Branch Luncheon, the two big social events of the year before. During the past year, aside from the meetings, the biggest events of the Mechanical Engineers' program were two boiler tests run by the seniors, but in which all "mechanicals" were invited to take part. These tests weren't substitutes for parties tho they had some points of similarity; they were interesting, the guests all thought they lasted too long, refresh ments were served at midnight, they were coffee, rolls, hot-dogs, and eggs, instead of ice cream and cake, but they were refreshments just the same. The C. U. Branch benefited very much this year by the spreading out of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The Engineering Build ing on the campus which until this year w^as shared jointly by the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Departments has all been taken over by the latter and the Electrical Department is now located in St. John's Hah. One of the benefits of this change was that the A. S. M. E. Student Branch was given a club room, but its greatest value is as a stopping place during free hours between classes when the members may talk or work. ^ ^^W"^^ 'Q94 One Hundred and Eighty-nine V' The Tower STAFF Editor WIMBERT R.

U. weekly newspaper, and the official organ of the student body, became firmly established as a Univer sity institution during the past year after an uncertain birth the previous year. The whole make-up of the paper and its organization were completely changed -when plans were made in October for its continuance and betterment in 1923-1924. Wimbert Sullivan, Richard Smith and Berthold Vorsanger were responsible for these changes which embodied a new head in old English type set off by two photographs of Gibbons' Tower, small newspaper type, making it possible to carry twice as much news as had been carried the previous year in the same space, and a much better class of advertising, together with a proportionate balance between news and ads. A dowmtown concern was given the printing job and a very presentable paper has been the result. The new organization consisted of a three-fold partnership between the Editor, Business Manager and Advertising Manager. When, at the end of January, Vorsanger resigned from the position of Business Manager, his duties were taken over by Smith, who then became the combined Bus iness and Advertising Manager. At the same time Caroll Kirby, due to his fine work as Sports Editor, became a third partner in the undertaking. The policy of the paper has been to promote the interests of C. U. in every way possible and, through its editorials, to endeavor to mould and direct student thought on the campus. How far the Editors have been successful in achieving their aims cannot be said, but it can be safely as serted that quite a bit of good has been accomplished through the pages of The Tower. The editorials have often contained criticism, but always of a constructive nature, and have at all times been free from any taint of "razzing" or "crabbing." The news columns have been thorough in pre senting every item which the reporters could uncover from week to week. Moreover, the paper has been a one hundred per cent, product of under graduate student effort through the year. It is true that The Tower is not near as large as the weekly publication of many other colleges and universities, but we must remember in this re gard that our University is still a small one as far as numbers of stu dents is concerned. The Exchange Editor of a certain monthly publication said of us, "The Tower is not as exhaustive as most college papers, but it presents an example in clearness and compactness that many would do well to follow." On the other hand those who are well acquainted with the size of our school and conditions here think that we cover just about all there is to be covered, as evidenced by the folio-wing statement in the win ter number of the "C. U. Alumnus": "The amount of news contained in each issue of The Tower is surprising." IJ:^ One Hundred and Ninety-one The Cardinal STAFF Editor-in-Chief W. GETTO MCDONALD Business Manager FRANCIS B.

McCormick The Utopian Club HE Utopian Club was founded in the spring of 1923 by a group of students who congregated together during recreation hours in room 255 Gibbons, which was occupied at that time by Dan Neary and his brother Bill. There was no necessity of going about looking for candidates to be taken in. The quota of forty men was filledwithi n an hour and a good many men were left outside because there was no room in the club for them. After the constitution had been approved by Dr. Motry, the club held a meeting and elected Jimmie Meehan to the position of Supreme Utopian. The club immediately took its place in the social world with its famous ball at the City Club on May 11th. Its members were associ ated with every branch of sport and campus activity and contained an exceedingly lively bunch as members. At the firstmeetin g of the new school year Dan Neary was elected to the leadership and under his regime a most successful year has been completed. Again some of its members took the leading roles in the ath letic and campus affairs. Another dance, unique in the extreme, was held at Rauschers on Thanksgiving night and was very largely attended by students and others. This dance made a big hit with those who were there but somehow or other, it did not go over so big with those that have the say-so hereabout. On Tap Day the Utops pledged ten men and after the probation period all were taken into the club at a smoker in the Gym. The present mem bership numbers forty and consists of ten men from each class. Rev. Father McVey is the moderator of the club and needless to say that his heart and soul is with it. To see the club grow and prosper is one of his foremost ideals. May we hope that those who are charged with the duty to carry on the work of the Utops wifi do so in a very zealous manner and realize the para mount ideal of the Utopia that it was founded to be, i. e., "a zestful and sincere friendship, founded on good fellowship." «-^^S?fe3^^:«*^ ^24° One Hundred and Ninety-five H t I f »•?• I r 7V/6' Dod-Noon Club OFFICERS .!/(«/(/•((/(*;• President REV.

A meeting of a number of Freshmen and Sophomores was called by Harry Robb, then football coach and director of intramural activities at the University, for the purpose of forming a club in order to stimulate campus activities, both athletic and social. As a direct outcome of this meeting the Dod Noon Club, con sisting of twenty-six members, was formed with John Vermeren as its first president. With but a short period of the school years left in which to engage in any activity, the club devoted itself to perfecting its organiza tion and held but one social function, that a May Dance in the Gym. The infant organization received a severe blow by the non-appearance of sixteen of the original twenty-six members the next fall when college reopened. With only this handful of charter members left to "carry on" the little band got together and proceeded to carry out to the best of their ability the ideals of the club. Joseph Connors was elected president to succeed John Vermeren and nobly performed the task of rebuilding and reorganizing. Several social functions were held during the year and new life was instilled the following spring by the inception of twelve new members. The club was now fii'mly established and elected James Freney to be its guiding hand for the ensuing year. The year '22-'23 saw the formation of two new clubs which were heartily welcomed by the Dod Noon, as these promoted healthful club intercourse and friendly competition. Dur ing this year the club besides pursuing its regular activities on the campus held banquets at the University Club, conducted its Spring Supper Dance and tendered the Senior Class a "Senior Night" having as its honored guest on that occasion Chief Justice Wendell P. Stafford, one of the coun I III try's most distinguished jurists, as speaker of the evening, together with a noted opera singer. Not neglecting the spiritual s'~-ile of life the club re ceived Holy Communion twice in a body in the Chapel in Gibbons Hall. Robert Denault was elected president of the club for the year 1923-24. This year has seen the club perpetuating the ideals of its founders. It has supported all the campus activities and made itself felt as an influence for good in all worth while activities of the University. Much of the club's success is owed to Rev. Father C. A. Hart, who has served as Club Moderator the past two years. His judicious foresight and timely advice has kept the club in good standing, and all the club members realize the vital importance he has been in the development of the club. The members of the Dod Noon Club have assiduously endeavored to live up to its fundamental tenets—religious perfection, academic excellence and athletic superiority. :^1i^5©^''=f^^x-'^^5^%1^^^^® x^'^?^^ -^^=^-^^1924°>' One Hundred and Ninety-seven The Abbey Club OFFICERS Moderator REV.

The Abbey joined in welcoming the almost immediate appearance of a third club. The first year is a difficult one for any organization of this kind, and considerable credit is due those who bore the burden of the work. Before the election of officers this fell upon the organization committee composed of George E. Beatty, Thomas I. Hoen and Frank A. Biberstein. Then Bib erstein took over the reins as president of the club, assisted by Beatty, Vice- President; Boutin, Secretary; and Healy, Treasurer. The other charter members of the club were Connors, Dillon, Dowd, Ford, Gorman, Kirby, Kyle, Lamb, Larkin, Mahoney, McGinnes, Moore, Orme, E. Sullivan, W. Sullivan, Tierney, Vorsanger and Woods. While carrying on the work of organization the club planned for its first appearance in public, and The Dansant was given at the Hotel Lafayette on the Saturday after Thanks giving. Attention was then centered upon the Abbey Reception and Ball, which was held at the City Club on April nineteenth, the guests of the club being received by the Right Reverend Rector of the University, Father Keefe, the club's moderator, and members of the faculty, together with the parents of the members, who acts as patrons and patronesses. During the year the club increased its membership to thirty-one by admitting North rop, Murphy, Blake, Seery, Cahill, White, Kelly and McEvoy. The scholastic year of 1923-24 opened with the club regretting very much the loss of six of its members and of its much esteemed moderator and friend. Reverend Anslem M. Keefe, O. Praem., to whom the Abbey will be forever indebted. Soon after returning Luke Stapleton, John Chambliss and Joseph Chambliss were admitted to full membership, having been pledged the previous spring. Father Reynolds succeeded Father Keefe as moderator. Proposing the plan that all clubs recognize a definite day for the pledging of new men, the Abbey Club waited upon the decision of the Inter-Club Council; and on the day appointed ten men: Regan, McAlenny, Vahey, Marshall, Kenny, Winters, Keale, C. Sheffield, J. Sheffield and J. Biberstein, were pledged. Following the precedent of last year the club held a Tea Dance on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. On February thirteenth the pledgees were admitted to full membership, and a banquet was given in their honor at the Occidental Hotel.

The membership of the Sena tor's Club is composed entirely of students who are bona fide residents of the District of Columbia, and all students who are in this group and who fulfill the requirements of the Inter-Club Council governing admission are eligible to membership. The object of the Senator's Club is three-fold: first,t o encourage lit erary and general intellectual pursuits; second, to promote the welfare of the University by instilling in the club members a greater interest in its educational, athletic, and social activities; and, third, to provide whole some entertainment for members and their friends, and to foster a sprit of comity in general. Because of the late period at which it was organized, the Senator's Club was unable to take part in student activities as a unit during the term ending in June, 1923. From the time of its formation until the be ginning of the new school term in September, the members of the Club were engaged in establishing its principles and in buildmg up its organiza tion. In this work the members of the graduating class rendered invalu able assistance. In order to facilitate these operations an organization com mittee was appointed consisting of Mr. Fred J. Diegelmann as chairman, and Messrs. James A. Keliher, Matthew P. Touhey, and Charles L. Clark as members. This committee drafted a permanent form of constitution and by-laws, and placed the club on a working basis. At the beginning of the school term in September, 1923, the Senator's Club made their official debut. The revised form of Constitution and By- Laws were presented to the proper authorities and received their appropria tion. The Senator's Club became a permanent institution in the life of the University. Following this was held the election of officers for the coming year. The results of this election are listed above. The results so far obtained by the Senator's Club have been very gratifying indeed, and all indications point towards a highly successful car eer. The members have taken a strong interest in the organization, and each man individually has demonstrated his best co-operation. The Club has held several smokers and given two dances. At the present time the Club is contemplating widening its field of endeavor by affiliating with similar clubs at Cornell, Dartmouth, and Lehigh universities. Considera ble correspondence has been exchanged and while the matter is yet pend ing, the clubs at these universities have expressed themselves as being fa vorably disposed to the proposal.

This club is the ranking organization of the campus and why shouldn't it be, when all its members have gone through such a strenuous grind to make themselves eligible for membership. The leaders in most every branch of C. U. activ ity are members of the club, and this being the case the strength of the club and its influence can easily be realized. The officers of the club are selected according to the number of letters earned in inter-collegiate com petition. The president is the man with the largest number of letters to his credit, the vice-president is the next man with the highest award and so on. This year Mr. Edward J. Lynch is the President and has to his credit ten letters. Mr. Robert Denault is Vice-President -wJth seven letters. Mr. Bernard Eberts is the Secretary with six letters. After each awai'd of letters by the Athletic Council an initiation is held and there are any number of members that will vouchsafe to say that they are the most unique of any ever held any place. The club holds two social functions each year. The first is a Tea Dance shortly after the first semester and the second is its annual banquet held in June in honor of the returning graduates who have won their laurels fighting for C. U. Last year both functions were the biggest events of the year and particularly gratifying was the success of the banquet held at Glorious' Inn. This affair will long be remembered by the members as one of the best parties of their whole school year and if one is given each June 1 I am sure that very few if any of the letter men past or present will be absent when the roll is called. f.

The class tree oration was delivered by Mr. Ray mond A. Williams, a member of the Senior Law Class and the class tree sonnet, composed by Mr. Coleman H. Mulcahy of the Senior Academic Class, was read by Mr. Tom-Jim McBride, also a member of the Senior Academic Class. THE CLASS TREE ORATION HEN our Lord commanded His Apostles to go forth and teach aU na tions, He looked out over the universe through time and space and m beheld the vast army of Devoted Disciples; and among them the eminent and scholarly Saint Thomas Aquinas, whose memory -we celebrate today, who would carry on the labors of the noble band of twelve. And He rejoiced, for He beheld the Christian school and university grow ing out of His church, as branches out of a tree. And it is in these Catholic universities and colleges that God's designs are carried out and the students afforded an education that unlocks the door leading to success and noble citizenship on earth, and a happy eternity in the city beyond the stars. In universities like this the Teacher of Gali lee holds the place of honor in the curriculum and the moral training of a man goes hand in hand with education in the arts and sciences. And it is a regrettable fact for our country that there are not more universities like our own dear Alma Mater, which stands in the system of Catholic education as a central Sun about which lesser bodies revolve and from which they draw their energy. Today we plant our class tree, the firstexercis e that marks the begin ning of the end of the happiest days of our lives. We shall soon go forth from this palaestra of studies into the arena of the world, there to encounter the struggle of life, and we shall emerge victorious if we are true to what we have learned here. We shall soon go forth with the advantage of a sound Catholic educa tion, equipped for our life's work with confidence and lofty aim and pre pared to accomplish great things for our God and for our country. As we gather about our class tree and recall the varied experience of our college life, with its joys and pleasures, with its rivalries and ambi tions, its duties and its friendships, the like of -which we shall never form again, we cannot avoid the sadness that comes with the thought that in the near future we all must part. We must soon with grateful hearts bid a fond farewell to that glorious and nourishing mother of us all from whose breast we imbibed the milk of knowledge and morality. Two Hundred and Nine SF"*^ARMIAI As the Greek philosopher could rejoice that he was born in Athens and had Socrates for his teacher, so we rejoice that we have been born in the land of the free and the home of the brave, with Catholic University as our Alma IMater. It is proverbial that we often fail to appreciate the true greatness of those with whom we are thrown into intimate contact until we have re moved a short way and gained a correct perspective. Perhaps we shall soon discover that we have made this mistake in regard to our professors. Accustomed by habits to see only the pedagogue and the task master it is not until the hour of our departure is drawing nigh that we shall behold the real man. Then it is that we shall realize and appreciate the sterling qualities that command respect, the learning that elicits admiration and the true religious spirit that inspires reverence. By their example they have gripped our hearts and moulded our characters. Theirs has been the task of training our intellects and our wills. What men are we and what are we to be, we owe to the zeal and labor of our beloved Rector and his faculty, whose interest in us, as a class, and as individuals, has ever been the deepest. By the tree which we have planted today, as an emblem of our love for the University, and of loyalty to her cause we pledge our all, In parting we bid a cordial welcome to those who will come, saying God bless our Alma Mater and our Class. Tvjo Hundred and Ten The Planting Blithe sapling, we to this well-nurtured soil Consign thee; may the warm and gentle rains Tend thy young life which thus with care attains A more pretentious stature! May the toil Of gentle winds and earth's redundant spoil Uphold thee till thy broad, green top sustains The arching dome of sky and e'er remains A monument which Time cannot despoil. As deep thy roots the virgin reames invade, So deep may all the wisdom tve have learned Emplant itself forever in our hearts; And, youthful bough, beneath thy future shade We shall return to seek a rest tvell earned; Till then, take strength, the strength that God imparts! —COLEMAN H. MULCAHY. undred and Eleven The Prophecy of the Class of Nineteen Twenty-four "Gee, but I'd give the world to see. That old gang of mine." I've found myself a little corner Secluded far from sight. Where I can watch the crowds at day And spend a peaceful night. I climb into a big armchair When bustling crowds have gone, And, sometimes I dream of happy days. And -waking, plan for more to come. In waking hours the campus songs Will haunt me still: "In moonlight reposing, its charms all disclosing, Our college home is shining on the hill; Tonight we are singing, our voices are ringing. Are ringing o'er the campus -white and still. Our songs are like sho-wers upon the dry flovvfers. They cool us from the toiling of the brain; And when full of knowledge, we've left the old college. We'll sing those songs to bring us back again." A cro-wd of grads have formed a club To keep the cro-wd together more. But 1 decided I'd take a trip. And see a real cro-wd—Twenty-Four. il>f^^:!5®>;^^>^>•'^^^5^ ,^^^£?19 24°xjaj Two Hundred and Thirl en n K!^ Prophecy I- • I I sailed by way of Panan-ia, .And while passing thru the strait, Bert Vossanger, from his signal tower, ^hre^v the lever that opened the gate.

For 1 was tired and needed rest, So he directed me to the "Eberts". Dutch was off on his wedding trip. And as 1 in\. ardly wished him its joys, 1 chased myself round to the City Hall, Where I called on Mayor Reuss. Bob offered me some box seat comps To choose from at my will. And 1 picked one for a vaudeville show. That was starring Joe Mulville. Deserting St. Louis for Cleveland, And arriving midst rain and thunder, 1 found there Tony Lovas, Planting them six feet under.

The boys w^ere few and far between. Out there on the Western plain. So to see if 1 could find some more, I grabbed a South-bound train. I awoke way down in Alabam, With an appetite for steak. Which I appeased at Bultman's, In the capitol of the state. Smokey had, that very morning. And it left him nearly strapped. Dished out feeds to Woods and Healey, On their way around the map. He had also seen Pat Flanagan, Now a Mingo County Justice, And Neill and Lawlor coaching tennis, in a girl's school in Memphis. I asked him "What about Burckell, I hear he's back at school"? He said, "Oh yes, that's true. He s feeding the furnaces fuel".

They played a while at Diegelmann's, After June of T-wenty-Four, Till Allman came and heard Balint, .And offered him plenty more. 'Twas quite a blow, so they broke them up. And gradually drifted home. But Weird stayed on and did his stuff, At the Village Hippodrome. 1 dragged away from Alabam, Heading for the Florida coast, And landed in Miami, With Jack Bergin as my host. One morning 1 saw, as 1 paced the walk. To enhale the cooling breezes, Norm Dunbeck running a peanut stand, And 1 yelled out "Holy—(Moses)". I landed in the best cafe. To partake of the midday feast. Where Joe Kissane escorted me. To a first class ringside seat. ^\RDli\IAL Prophecy Without a Palm Beach suit down there, 1 felt quite like a lout. So I hied myself into a store.

He's in charge of the oyster bed. In Long Island Sound. The heat from the Southerners sun. Began to hit at my liver. I packed up quick to get out of it. Heading north again where they shiver.

This particular type of dasher is very inconsiderate of others and often speaks for hours, sweating away his life's blood in a stuffy booth just to hear her sweet voice. What they talk about is a mystery, for just one hour before they '• feft their "platonic friends" at the door of Trinity, after spending at least three hours with her in the afternoon, pressing bricks or holding down a ¥ theater seat. A friendly ride to Charlie by some of his nightly cronies. The Ace arrives with a few of the men from varsity basketball practice. He comes in for some "calories." The Gold-Dust Twins are in from their abode in the Tower. Toby orders a big lunch. He must have had a bad evening in the dining hall. The Pep Boys come in from P. G. Hall to get their "apple a day." Around 10:30 a bevy of freshmen come in, take their orders to a table or two in a corner and begin to throw more old guff than a group of sea soned debaters. The crowd increases. The smokes becomes thicker, so does the talk. Fifteen minutes to lay away a feed. Everyone is enjoying himself, who cares for the time. A late arrival is questioned as to the whereabouts of the Prefects. Unwilling, a few break away to go to bed. A few more go and finally one by one the crowd is departing.
