July 22, 1955 Dear Alumni and Alumnae: It is always a pleasure to write to you. In fact, it is the only way of reaching all of you, now so numerous and so widespread. It is the best way of bringing the University to those who cannot come back to Alma Mater. The University of Dayton is today the largest and fastest growing private undergraduate school in the Stare of Ohio. The enrollment this past year was 4500 students. This is an astounding figure to the older graduates and they must wonder how the " old school" is taking care of such an increase in enrollment. Recent years have seen the addition of several new buildings to those that were the UD in your days. New buildings are being planned and a Fund Raising Campaign to be inaugurated in the fall of 1955 and to be completed in the spring of 1956 is our hope of financing our material expansion for the immediate future. We will campaign for $2,500,000.00. The campus is crowded with students and with buildings. The University was fortunate enough to purchase from the State of Ohio some nineteen acres of land. This property which extends to the southeast of the present campus will allow for further expansion. Our athletic teams have not only won national honors but they have carried the name of the University into the headlines all over the country. However, a surer and more lasting advertisement of the University is yourselves, the alumni and alumnae. By your success in life and especially by your personal example you are a living and lasting product of the philosophy and of the educational endeavor of the University of Dayton. We are grateful to you for this; we are grateful, too, for your generous donations to the University funds. The progress of the University is linked naturally with the progress of the community which it has served over the past 105 years. It is no more the " little college on the hill" than the City of D ayton is the "small industrial town" of the Miami Valley. Why not see for yourselves what has happened in the past years? Drop in for the next Homecoming Day; you will see more than a whole volume of letters could describe. Again thanks for your splendid cooperation and God bless you! Sincerely, """"~~~- . fo J...A.--t . /J;,. Rev. Andrew L. Seebold, S.M., Ph.D . P resident

6 Callahan, Miyata Join New Faces in Dayton Football Picture for

Coach Hugh Devore's 1955 football Flyers, jolted hard when grades were posted in June, were given a big lift this summer with the report that Dick Miyata would return to the squad. Miyata, a solid and agile 235-pounder stacked like an inverted triangle on a 5'10" frame, registered three B's and a C in four major three-hour courses to place his scholastic standing on solid ground. The powerful shouldered young man from Hawaii hadn't failed any subjects the previous year but his point rating wasn't high enough for athletic competition. Joe Callahan Claude Chaney Ike Chaney He'll play either guard or tackle for Devore, who will have to do quite a bit of juggling to strengthen the team. At ends the Flyers have wealth and poverty at the same time. They have wealth in Jimmy Katcavage, Dayton's All-American nominee, at left end. At right end will be talented but tiny Steve Bosway. Johnny Kozlevchar, last season's No. 1 right end as a soph­ omore, suffered a shoulder injury last fall and may not return to school. Paul Dacey, an experienced senior, is still a question mark because of a knee injury. Fleet Tom Curtin and rugged Walt Porter move up from the Frosh but lack experience as does Big Ron Finotti who may Tom Curtin Fred Dugan Dave Huber move out from guard to end. Co-Captain Jack Muldowney is the logical left tackle with Johnny Grogan at right. AI Weckle the 250-pound junior can't be counted out of the starting line and when Army vet Ike Chaney finds himself he'll be hard to handle. Jerry Callahan, junior, and Joe Slater and Bob Sakal, both sophomores, may be able to backstop the two spots. Jerry Ward, over on the right side, leads a crew of first class guards. AI Shanen, the highly regarded frosh linebacker last season, may get the left spot but experienced Roger Towle, senior, is in the picture. George Veneziale, aggressive but light, and Don Chontos, moved from center, have game experience and Adam Klys and Jerry Krause Adam Klys Don Moultney Gerry Krause, sophomores, expect to get it. Jim Ducato, first string center for two seasons, is going to have trouble keeping Joe Callahan, just returned from two years in the Army, out of the middle. Callahan could possibly be moved out to end where he was a first stringer three seasons ago. Bob Blommel is back at center and Dino Gounaris, Sopho­ more has the size for the spot. The Flyers appear to be strong at quarterback. Ken Bocken­ stette, No. 1 quarterback last fall, returns for a final season. The rugged senior still is rated No. 1 but missed spring practice because of off-hour employment and will have to catch up with the frosh flash Don (Butch) Zimmerman. Walt Porter lob Sakal Joe Slater Both will have trouble out-working Vic Kristopaitis who made the switch from fullback in fine style. Jerry Faust also moves up from the frosh with Zimmerman and Jim Turvene's punting and passing talents could come in handy. Billy Smith returns to right half with Don Weeks, last fall's No. 1 lefthalf right behind him. Weeks' spot was taken over by hard-running Johnny Bettinger who may be the surprise back of the mid-west this fall. Behind Bettinger at lefthalf is Claude Chaney, the frosh whiz. Jim DeFabio, a junior, and the promising Dave Huber along with the fleet Mickey Elko give the Flyers added manpower at the halves. Don Zimmerman AI Shanen Jerry Fault Bernie Burke, stopped only once for a loss last season, returns to fullback as a more experienced junior. He'll have trouble, however, with up and coming Jerry Bush, along with highly regarded Fred Dugan and Don Moultney up from the frosh team. Devore and his staff will have 41 players counting Miyata. There is depth at some positions but a scarcity of experienced talent at a number of key spots threatens to keep the Flyers off balance. Injuries could wreck Flyer hopes in short order and Devore will have to be a master juggler to get through the season with a better won-lost record than was compiled last year.
