THE RATTLER
EDITED BY THE STUDENTS OF ST. MARY’S UNIVERSITY
Vol. XI.
San Antonio, Texas, April 16, 1930
No. 14
Beaux Arts Will
Present Speaker
Architecture To Be Topic
As the result of a meeting of
recent date and a conference of
the officers with Dean Huebert,
the Beaux Arts Society was grant-
ed the privilege of securing a
speaker for the assembly to be
held on April 30.
This is in conformity with the
policy of the University to secure
prominent speakers in the city to
address the student-body during
regular assembly periods and is
also in line with the lecture poli-
cies of the Beaux Arts Society.
The topic of the address has not
yet been definitely decided upon
but will in all probability concern
the trend of modern architectural
designing in America.
Students Attend
Mission
The regular retreat fpr the col-
lege students at the University was
replaced this year by attendance at
the Lenten Mission held at St.
Mary’s Church, downtown. All of
the Catholic boarders were tran-
sported to the Church in the U bus
for each of the Mission exercises.
The St. Mary’s Mission was
conducted by two well known pas-
sionist Missionaries from Chicago,
Father Cyril Brady and Father
Cletus Meis.
Students Obtain Jobs
It is reported that three men
from the college ranks were re-
cruited recently by J. H. Hunter
for summer positions. They are:
Monroe Griffin, O. Higginbotham,
and Henry Smith.
It is understood that they will
travel in a group over a number of
southern states selling magazines.
JOSEPH T. KELLY
It is with deepest regret that
we record the recent death of
Mr. Joseph T. Kelly, the father
of Vincent Kelly, a member of
The Rattler Staff and one of the
most popular students on the
campus.
Born in Dubois, Penn., Mr.
Kelly moved to St. Louis, Mo. in
1888, where he lived the rest of
his life. He is survived by his
widow; six sons, Eugene, James,
John, Richard, Ambrose, and
Vincent; and a daughter, Cath-
erine. The day of his burial,
March 27, marked Mr. Kelly’s
sixty-sixth birthday.
The Rattler extends sincere
condolence to the members of
the bereaved family.

Nicholls, Wangler University Orchestra Presents
^°in<193^41^er Sacred Concert in Auditorium
Brother Thein, Moderator,
Makes Announcement
Dean M. J. Huebert
Attends Meet
At the regular meeting of The
Rattler Staff on Friday, April 11,
Brother Louis Thein, faculty
moderator of the periodical, an-
nounced that Messrs. Andrew
Nicholls and Alexander Wangler
had been selected to guide the Uni-
versity organ through the academ-
ic year 1930-31.
Prior to naming the joint editors
for next year, Brother Thein
thanked the members of the Staff
for their devotedness to the work.
“It is an honor to work on a
college periodical, although one
gets little credit for it,” said the
moderator. “School paper work
affords oportunity for training in
journalism and for development in
English. An editor must possess
a talent for organization and co-
ordination of details, a great store
of patience and a real practical
school spirit. He deserves un-
stinted praise, but seldom receives
it.”
In announcing the editors for
next year, Brother Thein remarked
that their previous years of ex-
perience would stand them in good
stead and expressed his confidence
in their ability to uphold the stand-
ards set by editors of past seasons.

Presenting its second concert of
the academic year, the St. Mary’s
University Orchestra, under the di-
rection of Albert J. Hagemann, S.
M., rendered a program of Sacred
Music on the evening of Palm
Sunday in the college auditorium.
Beginning with “A Tribute to
the Cross”, enacted by a number of
students in cassock and surplice on
an elaborate stage setting built
about a central cross, the program
was received with respectful ap-
plause by a large audience com-
posed of students and friends.
Each succeeding number was
prefaced with an explanatory an-
nouncement delineating the mood
and character of the selection and
thus affording the listeners a more
thorough appreciation o f t h e
music.
Features of the evening’s enter-
tainment were two trombone solos
by Mr. Frank Daehne and two
selections by the University Trio,
consisting of Mr. Pedro Rodriguez,
violinist, Brother Hagemann, cel-
list, and Professor Leslie Roch,
pianist.
The theme of the program, The
Messiah, was well worked out by
the director. It followed through
the selections “Calvary”, “Cruci-
fix”, “My Redeemer Liveth”, and
“Hosannah” to a an emotional
climax with the dramatic “Unfold
ye Portals” and concluded with the
magnificent “Hallelujah Chorus”
from Haendel.
Director Hagemann deserves
great credit for the entire presen-
tation. The program follows:

R. B. Walthall of Austin sent in

will be of the “extra special” kind.
Cal Surtees, Coach At
Brownsville, Visits U
Mr. Cal Surtees, Class ’29, now
of Brownsville, recently visited his
Alma Mater to spend a few hours
with several of his former class-
mates and professors.
Cal says he likes the border town
and is now holding the position of
head coach at the Brownsville
Junior College.
Last fall the former football
star was assistant to Doug Fes-
senden and as such, partly re-
sponsible for the crack Brownsville
High eleven which went all the
way to the bi-district contest.
In basketball, Cal coached the
Junior College team which also
boasted a highly successful season,
Brother Schwab’s Garden
Is Beauty Spot
During the past couple of years
a real flower garden has been de-
veloped at St. Mary’s. Two years
ago the section of land lying east
of the Biology Laboratory was ov-
ergrown with weeds and served
merely as an auxiliary parking lot
for Science students. The wild
and unkempt plot has now given
way to one of beauty and charm.
The greater part of the credit
for this amazing transformation is
due to Brother Joseph Schwab; for
it is he who has worked ceaselessly
in providing a garden and in car-
ing for the flowers and plants at
the University. Brother Schwab
devotes all of his spare time after
classes to the pursuit of his hobby
'—gardening and flower-growing.
During the past few years he has
built up the flower garden into the
real “beauty spot” of the campus.
winning fourteen of seventeen
games.
And now Cal wants to match his
team against the Rattlers in 1930.
If this game is arranged, it ought
to be good!
Luck to you Cal, in everything
except games with St. M. U.

Our Error, Pardon!
Through some unpardonable
oversight, the name Peter Kuntz
appeared in a story several issues
past instead of the name John J.
Kuntz. Peter formerly attended
St. Mary’s and is the son of Mr.
John J. Kuntz, who has consistent-
ly shown a great interest in this
institution.
