At one time when big "Ken- tuck" Oberc %\as licad Qoach, the Minims were undefeated in any sport for four years and =;he next year the only game they lost was a hockey match to the Junior Seminarians. In 1922 rhey boasted of the smallest organized football team in the v.-orid. This team was captained by Bill Rockne and their center could barely get the ball between his legs. Studies v.'ere by no means neglected- The first Monday of the month was a momentous day in the life of every Minim. Father Burke, then Prefect of Studies, came over to read out the monthly marks. For those who were lucky there was a word of praise and for those wlio lagged behind,—there was silence! But wiiat a silence! It was worse ibai! any scolding. Tlie most idolized person in the heart of every Minim during our time was Gene "Kentuck" Oberst. Notre Dame just couldn't lose if the lanla- southerner was in the lineup. Six feet four and a half, over two hundred pounds, he took a yard and a half at a stride. His biggest ad mirer came barely up to his chest. He astounded us one time by telling us that he was the smallest one in a family of seven. When he broke the American record for the javelin throw a deadly feud broke out in the Minims as to who should have the honor of carrying the precious shaft from Cartier Field to the gym. ST. EDWARD'S "Kentuck" was not the only one to bask in the light of hero wor- sliip. All kids must have some one to look up to, some one to mimic, even in habits of dress. Next to Oberst and Mrs. Rock I think that Hari-y Stuhldreher was the most popular. At night there were always one or two' that used to sneak over to So "Sub" just to sit in Harry's room and watch him work. It was a dangerous undertaking because if they were caught it meant i raps on the hands from a certain little stick in the competent hand of Brother Cajetan, but it was worth it! Another pair favorites were Chuck Collins and Bill Cerney in 5 Corby "Sub." A popular diversion in those days was skunk trapping but, sad to relate (from personal experience) the trapping usui ended disastrously for the hunters. The author Avas once nearly expelled for bringing a prize of the chase into the classroom d ing Physiology class. His intentions were good but his specimen for examination was not appreciated. It was a common thing see some kid with a sheepish looking grin walk in to the gym -with nothing on but a bathrobe,—^liis clothes buried in the si pit near the running track.

A couple of boys went into the banking business and would save their alh ance until the middle of the week and then loan out nickels dimes at a hundred percent profit. "H I lend you a nickel pay me a dime next Thursday!" That was the agreement t strange to say the youngsters usually paid their debts. This became such a profitable business that a certain part of the locker room got to have the nickname of "Money Changers' Row". But that racket was stopped as some of the boys formed a money trust and were getting a comer on all the loose change in the Minims. The sales system of the store was original of noth ing else.

The "Army game" of the Minims was the annual football game with the Niles Tigers. This game was talked of for weeks in advance and if the game happened to be in Niles the team was given a regular send- off and if the team returned victorious the rest of the depai-tment re ceived a special permission to stay up and greet them on their return (sometimes until nine o'clock!) and the team was always welcome v.-hen somebody received a package. There was one game that is still talked of in the Minims It was in the last year that "Kentuck" coached. The Minims had been vic torious througout the season and they v.'ere mnding up with a team a little bigger than the average, the Hebrew Eagles of South Bend. Things were not breaking right for the little Blue and Gold and at the end of the third quarter they were trailing at the end of a twelve to notliing lead. With five minutes more to go they decided to use one of their touchdown plays. On their own five yard line they pulled a clever triple cross buck and lateral pass ("Kentuck's" pride and joy) and while the be^vildered Hebrews were wondering what happened a little end with both arms wrapped around the ball was streaking toward the opposite goal line. The other trick play was pulled with a minute and a half more to go. The quarterback took the ball through the line and then laid down on the ground, groaning, but with the ball still in liis hands.

THE EDITOR EXPCETTET HIT TfiANI^T
By the time the next issue of the SCHOLASTIC, the "Commencement Number," is released, most of the students will have left for their summer recess. So the editor takes this opportunity to make public his appreciation of the invaluable assistance rendered to him throughout the year by various parties associated with the publication. To the Reverend Patrick J. Carroll, faculty ad\iser of the SCHOLASTIC, the editor extends his sin cere appreciation for excellent and constructive advice given him on numerous occasions. To Mr. Harley L. McDevitt, business manager, the editor is grateful, very grateful for the splendid cooperation given him at all times, a cooperation which expedited immeasureably the composition of the SCHOLASTIC. To Brother Mark, C.S.C, foreman of the composing room, to Brother Martin, C.S.C., foreman of the press room, and to the rest of the employees of the University's Printing Department, the editor can not adequately express his appreciation of their many courtesies to him at every opportunity. To Mr. David Saxon and Mr. Vincent Mclntire, managing editor and assistant managing editor, respectively, the editor is deeply indebted for capable and faithful services rendered to him during the year. Mr. Archer Hurley, writer of the "Week," has turned out one of the best efforts, if not the best, since that department was first inaugurated. "The College Parade" has never been done in more clever ly consistent fashion, nor has there ever been a st?ff member as faithful as its conductor, Mr. Bernard A, Walsh. The Music and Drama department was well taken care of by the versatile Mr. James J. Walsh. Too much credit cannot be given the efforts of Mr, Murray Hickey Ley, literary editor, for the in valuable assistance he rendered the editor since taking over the supervision of that department last No vember. Mr. John Bergan, news editor, while incapacitated through illness part of the year, also merits praise for the interest he took in the publication and the assistance he rendered the times when he was able to do so. Mr. Harry A. Sylvester and Mr. Gilbert Prendergast, sports editors, handled their department in commendable fashion every issue. Mr. John A. Kiener, interhall sports editor, edited the finest Interhall department that has ever appeared in the SCHOLASTIC. "The Club Page" had an excellent editor in Mr, Thomas A. Cannon, who equalled the excellent standard set by that department last year. For originality and clever humor Mr. Bayard Kurth, conductor of the "Wink," had few equals on the campus. The work of the individual staff members, while not receiving the publicity attached to the efforts of the departments heads, was eminently satisfactoiy on the whole. The work of these staff members was the foundation upon which the magazine rested. Largely upon their efforts did the successful com position of each issue lie. And the great majority of these men more than justified the confidence the editor reposed in them. So to these individual staff members, to the departments heads mentioned be fore, and to all other parties who assisted the editor in any capacity whatever during the year, the editor is grateful, very grateful. The year taken as a whole has been successful. The SCHOLASTIC organization has been far from per fect. But it is an organization that has done its very best at all times, and in doing so has no apologies to offer to anyone in this respect. Fortunately, faculty members and students have all appreciated the fact that the SCHOLASTIC is a magazine of any by and for the students. The editor in spite of his potential gray hairs and shrinkage of avoirdupois has spent an enjoyable yeai at the helm of the magazine. He has served his time, however, and is ready to turn the directorial reins over to his more than capable successor, Mr. Murray Hickey Ley. With the next issue he will retire to the side-lines, and attempt to restore the color of his hair and regain some of the weight he lost through the vicissitudes brought on by the year. —J.

The taxi waiting at the gate For there are moments in the street, Demands that I be more than brief Say just before the lamps are lit, In placing here immaculate When day's sad gesture of defeat The fervent image of a leaf. Presents us with the infinite.
I should have brought you more, John Ford, And like your plays the tragic light A wreath of laurel or green bays Will propagate a luilder dread To place upon the shattered sword Than music stalking through the night Still dripping of your anguished plays. Upon the lips of those 7iew dead.
Yet this is all that I could bring. And what the heart has long concealed Electric signs pr^event the mood Then must the heart make stark and bo.re. That gathers up the rarer thing, " And knoiv its secrets all revealed The foliage of solitude. Upon the shifting of the air.
But there is still the arrant need This is the moment that is yours. To praise what you made beautiful And this is why I speak your name Beyond the ardent tvords that plead As cautiously as one assures "Let dust reivard the weary skull." In gusts, the lighting of a flame.
Accept this unth your antique grace. But do not listen luhen I laugh Within an hour's time, and place A record on the phonograph. —MURRAY YOUNG.

The Advertisers in Notre Dame Publicati HE sun of student life has set, and this issue of the SCHOLASTIC, intended for the alumni, the sen iors, and their friends, is but a faint shadow cast by that home-seeking sun. To those of us who have just completed another scholastic year the campus is too peaceful; our friends are gone, we are going,' and the campus air has the heavy atmosphere of a wake. The visitors who see Notre Dame now see a school mthout students, a garden without flowers, and, though it may be ever so beautiful a garden, it has not the coloring tc which it is accustomed. THE Week welcomes the alumni. And wishes that Lyons, Howard and Morrissey were all equipped mth dictaphones to record the stories of the things that were in the days Avhen you were students. It must be a pleasure to come back and find the school growing as it has, with new halls, an excellent refectory, and a suitable stadium about to be reared. Next year we hope to see you in Chicago at the games, and une year after Notre Dame will welcome her o%vn in a stadiuni aDie to accommodate a goodly share of the numerous supporters of our teams. Cartier field you will miss, as it has missed you, but no healthy lad ever yet regretted growing out of short trousers. We have outgrown Cartier, but we put it aside with all respect to the memories it harbors. IKE the mushrooms popping up after a rain, knickers came into prominence so suddenly this las!: week as to be already the accepted thing to wear, even though the echo of classroom boos and hisses have scarcely died. The alumnae may look with amused tolerance at Notre Dame men on their own campus attired in knickers and sport shoes, and may even draw inferences as to the deterioration of the breed since the construction of "the Gold Coast," and the passing of the crews. But the men of Notre Dame still fight for their school, and, of more importance, still pray for their teams. Black and white shoes, and linen knickers prove nothing if not that the wearer is as sincere, as unpretentious, and as plain as anj'thing else in black and white. I N their unconcern and hurry the alumnae -will scarcely notice the blessing which befell us as a result of the recent taxi war. The monopolists of other days were so embarrassed by a recent taxi rivalry as to give a rate that is jiist to both the company and to the students. And though this may not mean a great deal to you of the alumni, still to those of us who walk a mile to buy two packs of cigarettes for a quarter the low rate is to be classed with such-blessings as chicken dinners in the refectory, and ex cursion tickets for the student trip games. ^TUDENTS may come and student may go, but the school goes on forever. And now we have some thing like a palace from which to come and go, for the new railroad station is such as to make even a New Yorker feel a pang of memory for the Grand Central. South Bend, gentlemen, is trying to keep pace with Notre Dame, and the new station is a fine tribute to their effort. Next year when the Sophomore welcomes his first guest at Cotillion time he mil appreciate the truth that a station.makes the first and the last impression on a \asitor.

Their four years at the University are ended. They have achieved their ultimate scholas tic goal—^a degree—and the time is at hand for them to enter into the business of the world and to earn themselves their proper niches in societ3^ This editorial is not meant to preach or to moralize. Neither is it meant to impress upon these men that the world mil judge them critically as to the worth of the University whose degrees they attach to their names. It is meant solely to suggest to them the most efficacious use to which they may put their Notre Dame training. In their years at the University thej^ cannot but have obtained a new slant upon their religion, an intellectual slant which has made them appreciate and evaluate their faith as probably they never appre ciated and evaluated it before. For the most part these men have builded upon the foundation of intel- Ugent understanding a faith which will be a source of consolation to them as long as they live. For the most part they have been dra^^^l more closely to their faith in bonds of the strongest tensity—^bonds of a sincere, tender love—than they ever have been before. And for the most part they are well qualified to explain the fundamental doctrines of their faith to non-Catholics. This they should do at every oppor- tunitj', on every hand. In every Notre Dame man's heart there is indelibly inscribed in letters of faith—God, Country, and Notre Dame. This is the sacred triumverate about which centers all that is good and constructive and noble in life to him. Particularly so is this true of the graduate. He is entering a world in which materialistic and atheistic principles are steadily'" growing in dominance, a world of speed, of sensation alism, of the almightj'^ dollar instead of Almighty God. Yet, never before in the history of our country has the time been more ripe, the situation more propitious for making better known the doctrines of Catholicism among non-Catholics than the present. The seed of truth if sown in the minds of tolerant, reasonable noji-Catholics is bound to bear fruit and result in a much better and more comprehensive understanding among them as to what the Catholic Church is and what she teaches. And the graduate of a Catholic university such as Notre Dame is bound to be a potent force in this favorable publicity for the Church. To the average Protestant Catholicism is regrettably but little, if at all, understood. To many non- Catholics it is an enigma. But no matter how much the fundamental doctrines of Catholicism are mis understood, its purposes maligned, its services ridiculed by its enemies, most non-Catholics appreciate the fact that there must be something worthwhile to a religion which has over twenty million adherents in this countiy alone. We Catholics appreciate what is worthwhile in our religion—^the elements of divine origin, un broken continuitj'^ through the centuries, and the I ope of ultimate salvation. That is why we are Catholics. But most non-Catholics while realizing vaguely that there is something tending for perma nency in the Catholic Church which makes it worthwhile, misunderstand or fail to understand at all in what respects it is worthwhile. Therefore, it is up to us, graduates of a Catholic university, to enunciate and explain clearly the elements which make the Catholic religion worthwhile. Light is the great dispeller of darkness. Sim ilarly, truth is the great dispeller of ignorance, of. prejudice, of misunderstanding. Let us not forget then, that as graduates we owe it to our God, to our country, and to Notre Dame to propagate among non-Catholics at all times, on every hand, the truth concerning the faith which is our most treasured and revered possession. —j. v.
