FULL STEAM AHEAD
St. Mary’s College, now in the third
year since the reorganization of the
College Department, is well under way
and bids fair to have a successful voyage,
d he college department now has over
sixty students and will no doubt jump
the hundred mark before the first class
will be graduated.
Brothers Dolan and Hill have merited
well of the school for the large part they
played in the increase in the college en-
rollment and also for some splendid
material with which they supplied the
school both in quality and quantitv.
The students are hard at work attend-
ing courses and living up to their assign-
ments and if they maintain this present:
spirit St. Mary’s is indeed headed for
great things.
The football team, the first college
team St. Mary’s has put forth is a sur-
prise to every body, not so only because
of their victories as for the clean playing
and fine sportmanship which .is com-
mented upon by all spectators and even
by their opponents.
If the students continue as they have
started, with a just sense and apprecia-
tion of the relative importance of studies
and sports, neglecting neither, they will
experience the satisfaction that comes
irom duty well performed and sooner or
later reap the rich fruits of their toil and
training.
THE NEW CAFETERIA
The seventeenth day of July was an
eventful day in the history of St. Mary’s
College. At three P. M. it was visited by
a small hurricane with the result that
when the wind had passed over, all that
remained of the cafeteria was the walls.
A few days later, Brother Julius Kraus,
the genial prefect of the seniors last
year, was seen with hammer and nails
on the spot where the old cafeteria stood
It was not long before the new cafe-
teria began to take shape. Brothers
Ignatius, Joe Lanfer, and Michael Hue-
bert then lent a hand, and when the High
School department opened in September
the student's had a fully equipped, up-to
date cafeteria.
Brother Julius, besides many staunch
friends, has also left a memorial which
will keep his memory alive for many
years.
THE GOLDEN JUBILEE
Brother John Waldron
Tuesday, October 20th, is a day that
will long be remembered by the faculty
and students of St. Mary’s College. It was
the occasion of great joy and happiness
for we were honored to have such a
noted personage as Reverend Brother
John Waldron in our midst to celebrate
his golden jubilee as an educator in that
noble band of men, the Brothers of Mary,
who sacrifice their lives in the cause of
Christian education.
In the presence of sixty clergy and
seminarians the Rt. Rev. Bishop, Arthur
J. Drossaerts celebrated a Pontifical
High Mass in our beautiful chapel, which
was bedecked with ferns and flowers
and overcrowded with visitors.
At noon a splendid banquet was served
the visitors in the Third Division club-
room, beautifully . decorated with the
gold and blue of our Alma Mater. After
the banquet, Rev, Robert W. Mayl, as
toastmaster, introduced the various
speakers. Very Rev. Louis A. Tragesser,
Provincial of the western province, spoke
briefly on the work of Brother Waldron,
saying that he had been initiated into
his present office by the Rev. Jubilarian,
and referred to him as the founder and
builder of the western province of the
Society of Mary in America. The next
speaker was Rev. Father Mulvaney, of
Incarnate Word College, San Antonio,
who gave an eloquent address in which
he alluded, to the splendid work of the
Brothers of Mary for seventy-five years
in San Antonio and made a plea for the
necessary co-operation of the CatholH
laity with the Brothers and Sisters in
| the actual work of Catholic Education.
The third speaker for the afternoon was
Mr. Leon Walthall, President of St.
Mary’s College Alumni, who greeted the
Rev. Jubilarian in behalf of the alumni
and presented him with a token of their
appreciation and good wishes. The final
speaker was the honorable Rev. Brother
Jubilarian himself, who disclaimed all
praise given him by the previous speak-
ers saying simply that what he had done
had been done by the grace of God, that
no credit was due to him. He reviewed
briefly, the development of the Catholic
Educational System during his life time
and expressed his fervent desire to con-
tinue in his work and to do so in San
Antonio.
The addresses were well received, as
was proved by the spontaneous applause
which was frequent and enthusiastic.
Following the banquet there was an
entertainment, in the afternoon, present-
ed in the auditorium. James McGinley
read a beautiful address to Rev. Jubi-
larian to which he cordially responded
in his amiable, and humorous way.
In the playlet, presented by the stu
dents, A. Warburton as the “imported
French valet” and B. Caldwell, as Claude
Moneybags distinguished themselves by
the impersonation of their roles. The
action centered about an old “fool” whose
money was being swindled from him by
three clever crooks. They had almost
succeeded when the tables were turned
by a detective and the “three Villains'’
were caught with the goods. It was a
farce, as well received as well played.
A cornet Solo “Twilight” by Albert
Schulze and a violin solo “Roses of
Picardy” by Ray Neumann accompanied
by the orchestra and Brother Eugene
Paulin, respectively, received enthusias-
tic applause, as did the selections ren-
dered by the orchestra.
After a delightful atternoon the re-
mainder of the evening was spent watch-
ing the “Rattlers” train under their
coach for the next big game. This was
interesting to many of the visitors, for
the Rattlers have already established
hemselves as a team of college calibre.
The northern system of training under
Doach O’Donnell was new to many who
were watching the players hard at work,
perfecting a real football machine, which
s now adding new laurels to the name of
Did St. Mary’s.
