R. Conroy Sa^gins September-October, 1951 Fifty Year Club Father Matthew A. Schumacher, C.S.C., Chaplain at St. Mary's College, had his own 30-year reunion. At his right, his brother Frank, of Tulsa, and at his left, his nephew, John A. Schumacher, Class of 51. An unexpected visitor—and most wel come—to the Dearborn Alumni Club was Father Thomas Verncr Moore. O.Cart. Father Moore was a Minim in 1888 and is currently touring the coun try in the interest of the Carthusian Order. Despite the appearance, he admits to the age of 74. ^ Few (if any) pictures of the 1931 Twenty-Year Reunion were avilable for the Alumnus Reunion issue. To take up the slack, Jim Doyle, of Chicago, loaned the Alumnus a parcel of his pri vate stock of negatives and the pictures at left are the result. The Alumnus is indebted to Jim for the use of negatives, and for the opportu nity to finally do justice to the class of the Great Depression which came back in such great numbers and enthusiasm.
