I EXPECTED HERE 1 Gould and Grannell Win Freshman Record

In this year's f reshman class Via­

tor has acquired a group of young­

sters in whom she may ju~tly take

pride. This class bas stood forth

in every branch of student activity,

establishing for itself a record which

will long stand as a goal toWard

which future f r esh men may .strive.

Football

Tbirty-eight out of fif ty gridders

on this year's football squad, the

largest in the history of the school, were freshmen. Nor is their super ­iori ty confined to numbers only. Of

Among the first year fellows who received t heir monogr am in football were such Viator stars as Masterson, P alladino and Rohinski, three backfield men who served as r egulars throughout the whole season. With such names as these on its roster and when these boys have profited from an­other year's growth, the Green W ave seems assured of a banner season on the g rid-i ron next year.

Basketball

When Coach McNamara looked over h is basketball squad after the fi rst pre-season cut last fall, be saw among the 26 remaining aspirants 17 f reshmen. Of the 17 men on the r egular traveling squad 12 wer e frosh, many of whom had starred in high school competition. Several bad won all state recognition by their work on prep school te8.lilS. Tbese boys too have now gained tha t experience which means the diff­erence between a good squad and a good team. The monogram awards for basketball have not yet been announced, but it seems that more than half will go to the freshmen.

Other Spor ts

Nor did the freshmen show them­selves only in these major sports. Th ere ' were six fi r s t year men on Viator's first boxing squad, which en joyed a most successful season. Tbe swimming team is composed preponderously of f r eshmen, and at the Monmouth meet 1 t was a f resh ­man, Basil Nicholson, who broke the Little Nineteen record for the back­strok e, while the medlay t eam, which also established a new mark, is com­posed of two fr eshmen and a sopho­more. The r esponse to the first call for tennis candidates seems to in­dicat e that this sport will also see many frosh on the squad.

Scltolastlc and Social

In addition, 36 per cent of the nam­es on the first two honor rolls were those of freshmen. Eight freshmen have seen action under Father Staf­ford in debating, and most of these a ppeared in several encounters. Moreover, despite the concerted ef­forts of various groups to bar f resh­men from school offices, Roman Prsybyzs has been chosen to head th e re-organized Viator branch of the Holy Name Society

So What?

As Al. Smith says, "You can't go back on the. r ecord", and with such achievements to their credit for this year, we feel sure that when this class r eturns ne.xt year, Viator will have entered into a new and greater era. Hats of! to the frosh!

This was the scene at t he latest social held in the College Refectory. Sponsored by the Vi~tor Dramatic Club and direc ted by Miss Mary Anthony and Jack Cronin, the af­fair was a very successful one. An unusuallY large number of young ladies and s t udents t urned ou t while

Tuition Rates To Be Retained Administrative officials of the Col­

lege announced yesterday that the present low fees for tuition, board, and room will be retained for a t least one more year. This action has been taken, despite the rising prices of commodities, in order to assuie st udents a Catholic college education. This does not mean that there has been a change in the scholastic J>Olicy of the ins titution, on the contrary, the students of this year have a ttained a remarkable high average of scholarship. Neither does this reduced rate mean a de­creasing efficiency in service to stu­dents; menus are carefully prepared by a group of Sisters of Notre Dame (Covington, Kentucky) and the meals are served in the approved cafeteria s tyle that is gaining in favor a t a majori ty of boarding colleges.

Viator is going forward; this is a s tep toward this end and it requires the cooperation of every student and alumnus. You all know what your school is like. Inform your friends who graduate thls year. Aid in making 1935-3i a bannar year in the history of St. Viator College.

bec and Chicago. We eagerly look forward with much pleasure to his visit to St. Viator College some time in Apri l. H e is no stranger in these parts, as he often visited- the Chicago province from his native Canada before he was called to the General Direction of his Community. and since that time he has come here on five or sLx. cannonical visitations.

Father Roberge will find a large increase in his Viatorian family since his last call here. At St. Ber­nard's Scholas ticate alon e be will find that the number of collegiate clerics has more than doubled, while the theological clerics in Washington, D. C., are so numerous that they will confront the good father with the problem of a new building. H e wi ll also find many new Viatorian p1iests very efficiently wielding aca­dem ic degrees at St. Viator and other Viatorian schools.

For Beauty's Sake-

The R ev. Richard French, C. S. V., has asked the s tuden ts to use special care to avoid walking on the grass at this t ime of the year. when the ground is soft and the first green blades are beginning to appear. These shoots are the foun­dation of the cool green sward which is so pleasant in the summer, and a little carelessness now may cause irreparable damage to the slender s t alks. Thank you.

All Conference Debates Rev; Morissey Debaters See Action

Dies in Chicauo Five Times In Week; '{') Meet U. of I.

R ev. J ohn J . Morissey, a friend of Sl. Viator, died last Tuesday after a lengthy illness. H e was formerly pastor of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament at 3600 Cermak road.

Father Morissey was born in Rock­fc, rd in 1865. H e was ordained in Chicago in" 1890 and beCame assist­ant pastor at tbe Church of the Sacred H eart, Joliet. He served also a.o assistant at St. Rose of Lima church and as pastor of the Church of Immaculate Conception, Highland Park, and St. Finbarr's before going t() the Blessed Sacr ament Church in 1912. H e was compelled by ill health to retire from the .Pastorate in 1927.

Surviving Father Morissey is one sister, Mrs. Mary Doyle of Oak Park. Funeral services were h eld at the Church of the Blessed Sacra-ment on Friday morning.

Former Student Dies In Rantoul

The Rev. John L. McMullen, pas­tor of St. Mullachy's church at Rantoul, Tilinois, died recently in that city. He was buried from the parish church in the Catholic ceme­tery at Rantoul.

Father McMullen entered St. Via­tor to complete his classes in Sept­ember , 1899, and after a very suc­cessful course in philosophy and the­ology was ordained by Most Rev. John Lancaster Spalding at Peoria, Dlinois, in June, 1905.

Befor e coming to Viator, Father McMullen had bad several years ex­perience in teaching. During his six years as a seminarian, he en­deared himself to the college stu­dents as a teacher of Latin. His loyalty to St. Viator a lways found expression in generous abiding love fo r B.-'i in a constantly abiding love for his Alma Mater. As a benefactor of tbe College he will always have a sha r e in the College community's masses said in the College Chapel.

'I. R. C. Hears Noted Speaker

Tbe Hon. Laslo Medgysey, royal Hungarian Consul of Chicago, ad­dressed the March meeting of the I. R. C. on tbe topic, "Hungary­Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow", on March 21.

H e brought to the I. R. C. a keen understanding of Hungary and its si tuation in European affairs today. H e also outlined Hungary's benefit to ci vi lizatlon in the past and its possibilities of the future.

This lecture, coming as it did from one so thoroughly acquainted with his subject, commanded the deepest interest of the listeners f rom the beginning to the end. Mr. Med­gysey's close analysis of the Euro­pean situation as it exis ts today gave his lis t eners a better under· standing of late developments on the continent.

Stephen Gould and Bill Crannell won their thi rd and last Conference debate when they debated agai.nst Illinois State Normal on Monday evening, March 25. The decision was very close. Professor H uston of the University of Illinois was the judge of the debate. He remarked that the delivery of both the teams was very good and that the debate bad to be decided in favor of Viator because their arguments were stronger than those of the affirmative. This debate made the third straight win for the negative team.

Both the affirmative and negative t eams met the University of Dli­uois teams in two no-decision de­bates on Friday, March 22. Illinois does not debate decision debates out­s ide of tbe Big Ten The Viator af­firmative team, com.posed of Edward Buttgen and Edward O'Brien, de­bated Collective Bargaining in the afternoon while Martin McLaughlin and Stephen Gould debated the neg­ative side of the questiorl in the evening. The Viator teams and coach were the guests of Professor and Mrs. Huston at dinner. PrO­fessor Huston is the Dlinois debat e coach. The Rev. E . J. Williams, Charles Andrews, next year's Physi­cal Education coach, and other friends of St. Viator at Champaign heard the Viator boys debate. At the present time plans are being made for Viator to meet Illinois next year in both tbe fall and spring debate seasons.

St. Viator's affirmative team lost their last Conference debate to De­P aul University in Chicago on Thursday, March 21. Tbe Judge, Professor F. J. MacGuidwin of the Central Y. M. A. C. , and all who heard tbe debate sald that it was close. Tbe delivery of the St. Viator team was very good. After the de­bate was over the members of the DePaul team sald that O'Brien and Buttgen had the best affirmative case they had ver heard. The Rev. John W. Staffor d, C. S. V., ac­companied the debaters

The second Confer en ce win for the negative was acquired by Gould and Cra.ri.nell on Monday, March 18 when they defeated Bradley Poly Tech at Peoria. Tbe judge for this debate w as Professor Beauchamp of Knox college. The question was, as is the question for all Conference de­bates this year, Resolved: "That all Collective Bargaining be negot­ia ted through non-company unions, safeguarded by Jaw".

Radio Debat"S

On March 23 Marg uerite Senesac, '38, and Joe Prokopp, '38, debated with DeKalk over Station WCFL. The question for debate was Resolv­ed: "Tbat the United Stat es should adopt the essential featu res of the British sys tem · of radio broadcast­ing." The affirmative was upheld by St. Viator.

The las t radio debate or the sea­son will be held on March 30 over Station WCFL when St. Viator takes the afflrmati ve of the question Re­solver: "That the war debts should

The same darl<-eyed youngsters romp through the same str eets playing the same games.
