THE Dayton Boosters- to that small group which has done so much for the advancement of the University of Dayton within the past three years- the Class of 193 7 wishes to dedicate this publication, hoping that thereby a modicum of the debt we owe these enterprising men might thus be paid.
Realizing that the University of Dayton is a civic institution- an integral part of the community- the Dayton Boosters have untiringly worked to make all citizens of Dayton mindful of their Univer-
si ty of Dayton. Their achievements since their organization are striking evidence of their success.
These men, many of whom have no ties binding them to the University other than that of civic interest and the memory of their own college days, willingly devote hours, months, to the fulfillment of plans that will make for a greater University of Dayton. Knowledge of a deed well done is their only reward.
Dedication such as this is much like an epitaph - it leaves so much unsaid. But, again like an epitaph, it is a monument to their achievement, perpetuating the spirit that is the driving force in every man's heart A monument to achievement, yes; but it is also a prediction, a promise- a greater University of Dayton for Dayton.

Symbolic of the spmt underlying the Un iversity of Dayton , these architectural features , reminiscent of old world culture, stand out on the campus as constant reminders of the purpose for which we are University of Dayton men and women.
The vista of new things ahead beckons to every student- fires him with resolve. The assurance of a peaceful and serene Alma Mater ever ready to aid him in the attainment of that resolve lends confidence. That is college lifethe threshold to an adventurous new world.
Where, for nine months of the year, four years of their life, students play and study and live and learn true comradeship
In restful peace and quiet, Dayton men and women come to give vent to their cares and fears; they pause to pay homage to their God.
A haven for serious and semi-serious seekers after wisdom, the College of Women, and trysting couples who combine a little business with pleasure.

For five years Father Tredtin has been pres ident of the University of Dayton. In this short time he has literally lifted the University of Dayton by its "boot straps" to its former place of prominence. With his customary vigor he is planning a "greater University of Dayton." Knowing Father Tredtin for the man that he is , only one conclusion to his plan can be seenSuccess!
Friends:
In the past the University of Dayton has performed a magnificent service. Without ostentation, without powerful influence , without state subsidy , it has steadily developed as a progressive American university.
Today the Administration , supported by the Board of Trustees, under the effective leadership of Mr. John Q Sherman , is promoting a spirited university movement purposing to offer academic opportunities far surpassing even those of former years.
If our University can get a public hearing, can demonstrate its value , and can follow its vision , it will inevitably push on to higher achievements , become the educational focus in our community , and be in reality , not merely in aspiration , a "greater University of Dayton . "
REVEREND WALTER C. TREDTIN , S.M .Since 1924 Father Renneker has fulfilled the offices of Vice-President, Registrar, Dean of Men. His guiding hand has taken charge of many an untried "freshie" and taught him the "ropes" in the new and strange college world. Father Renneker has endeared himself to the student body with his dry humor and quiet philosophy.

ASCHOOL'S character is determined to a great extent by the nature of its classes; not only as they are divided into the four distinct college years, but as the term also means a lecture session within the walls of the classroom. The spirit of a university truly springs from its classes, for they form the foundation of the endeavor of all the students
At Dayton we find no immensely large classes. The greatest number of students attending a lecture has never been over seventyfive. The average number is about twenty. This makes for a better contact between the lecturer and the students, and is a great aid to academic progress In the laboratory and science classes personal attention of the professor is a distinctive feature.
The traditional distinctions between Freshman , Sophomore, Junior and Senior classes are well known. They arise from progressing orientation, pursuit of fundamentals, application of the various scholastic, athletic and social instruments, and the development of qualities of leadership in different fields .
INTHE autumn of 1933 the smallest group of first-year men in the recent history of the University of Dayton enrolled as Freshmena hundred strong Since that time the Class of 1937 has spent four years deriving the fullest intellectual, spiritual, and social benefits which can be had from a university training.
At the very beginning, for our special benefit the sophomores conducted a week of campus tours and talks, culminating in their elaborate Freshman Class Day, which was a complete success and included an old-fashioned mass hazing (which we survived) and our own wellperformed entertainment to the strains of" The Sophs Are Jolly Good Fellows" between the halves of the evening football game.
Literary, forensic, and athletic ability of no uncertain type was discovered among the Freshman class of 1933-34, and it was soon expressed in the pages of the Exponent and the U. of D. News, the Debating Society, on the gridiron, basketball floor, and tennis court.
We presented a grand Freshman Welcome Smoker at the start of our sophomore year with all the fanfare, entertainment, excitement and carnival spirit which the traditional event always had. During this year we were well represented on the gridiron, and about the middle of December many Sophs could be seen with their new football "D's" proudly displayed on red sweaters. A sophomore added to the honor of his class by being elected to represent the school on the debating schedule. Many sophomores rose to new heights in journalism as they edited and wrote for the Exponent , the new Daytonian, the Dayton Civic Report. The golf and tennis teams of 193 S were composed almost entirely of Sophomores.
The outstanding campus event of the junior year was our own Junior Prom, which attained an unprecedented success due to Charlie Dameron and his orchestra, gorgeous hostesses, unique favors and beautiful decorations. Our class picnic in May presented an afternoon of hilarious entertainment for all loyal Juniorsdue in no small part to good ol' Hollenkamp's famous brew. Juniors were active members and officers of Alpha Sigma Tau Honorary Society, Sigma Delta Pi and Upsilon Delta Sigma. Finally, a Junior led the golf team to the Ohio State championship.
In 1936-37 we published the Daytonian, supported to the last man the Greater U. of D. for Dayton Program, and the June Jamboree. Many seniors cavorted on the stage for the Monogram Minstrel. The honor of the class was augmented by nine Seniors who received the coveted key of Alpha Sigma Tau. With the Senior Farewell Dance came the end of our student days at the University.

Septembers ago, the largest Freshman Class in many years matriculated at the U. of D Several months were spent in becoming acquainted with college, and the Frosh underwent an initiation program among austere looks from the profs.
Basketball saw a freshman squad fin ish second in the intramural tournament. Baseball season and final exams made up the last chapter of the freshman year.
Chest out and with that sophisticated air , the sophomore class returned. At the expense of
poor greenies they amused themselves with initiations. Just to be sociable the class staged a Freshman Welcome Dance which was judged a grand success.
Semester exams greeted the class as it returned from the Yuletide festivities, but by this time they could take it. Basketball season found several able sophs on the team with the Penthouse Pansies ending second in the intramural league. On the diamond, Ed Gutzwiller and Tscherne performed well at catch and second, respectively, while Charlie Benbow cavorted in center field. Joe Zotkiewicz topped the field in winning the Ohio State Golf Championship, and he was aided by two other Sophs, Genung and Puterbaugh, in placing Dayton first in Ohio State Collegiate golfdom.
During the Junior year a great Junior Prom was presented with the soft airs of Charles Stenross and his Cleveland Band. Ed Gutzwiller made the All-Buckeye first team to bring greater honors to the Juniors. Basketball saw the New York Yankees cop the intramural championship. Baseball and tennis had their representatives among the Juniors, and the year was ended with a never-to-be-forgotten Junior Picnic.

THESeptember of 1935 brought a large group of Freshmen to the university. With the immediate adaptation to college life and education , the ·class looked forward to four years of accomplishment with the true U. D. spirit. Shortly after the opening of the semester the class received a warm social welcome by the Sophomore Class in the form of a " Welcome Dance" held at the Miami hotel. Not forgetting the religious necessities of life, the Class heart i ly accepted and appreciated the annual retreat. With the election of officers the class resolved to do its part in all activities and earnestly to
prepare for a career. In the line of athletics the class participated strongly, and in the classroom the sincere work was considered above average by the professors.
Returning almost in full strength, the Sophomore Class of 1936-3 7 started a different method of Freshman initiation. "Field Day" was observed by the new students under the direction of the Sophomores, and a spirit of good will in the demonstrations prevailed in both classes.
Following the initiation came the Sophomore welcome to the Freshmen at the Welcome Dance at the Miami Hotel.
In sports the class was one of the most outstanding in the history of the institution. The varsity football and basketball squads were selected mainly from the sophomore class with few exceptions
In musical organizations the class had a large representation; in campus publications, members of the class received positions on the staff; in debating, two members made one of the three major trips of the season; in the ping-pong tournament, a sophomore student won first place ; and on the honor roll the class was well accounted for.

SEPTEMBER, 1936, saw the assembling at U. of D. of an enthusiastic group of young men representing every corner of the globe. Even as we first trod the campus as Freshmen we began to fill our souls with that U. of D. spirit which will grow throughout our four years to aid us as we embark on our many paths after graduation.
We used this impelling force to make our Initiation Week a success, and to support the first Freshman Welcome Dance held at the Miami Hotel. This new social venture inspired us with good will and fellowship toward our new-found friends.
Our class officers were elected and we could not help but feel more a part of the Alma Mater we were learning to love so dearly. As to actual history, we have but to recall such events as the Intramural Football game, won by a team composed almost entirely of Freshmen. The formation of sodali ties in the various halls was another cause for organization on our part. With the coming of the second semester, we began our greatest period of intensive study. In academic standing our calibre has been well above the average, and we can be justly proud of our showing
The June Jamboree and our work on the Greater University of Dayton program bring us to the end of our first year. We feel that we have done our utmost in every school endeavor , and we are glad to promise our continued coope ration throughout the coming three years.

OUR FIRST venture, in the fall of 1935, was an" Open House," whereby the young men of the Freshman Class were entertained for an afternoon. One of the most important affairs of our first year was a card party given by our mothers , the proceeds of which were used to make our social hall in the Albert Emanuel Library a mor e beautiful place in which to spend our leisure hours. The course of our Freshman year was brightened by other pleasant gatherings, several teas , a party for the senior men , a Mothers Day luncheon, and a happy and hilarious camp supper, which came as a grand finale during the month of May.
Through the repet1t10n of many similar affairs during our Sophomore year we now see emerging a number of very attractive social traditions distinctive to the Women's College. Most important of all these new events arising from our advent on the University of Dayton campus, the first annual Spring Swing was presented on April 3rd of this year. This dance was very successful, and has since become a very popular idea on the campus.
Since coming to the U. of D. we have been represented in all forms of academic endeavor. During our first year we organized the Women's Athletic Association, which today is actively functioning. Now that we have come successfully through our second year we feel that we have gained an experience that has been ours alone in establishing traditions for the future members of the College of Women.

AFTER a period of orientation in the fall of 1936 , as the second class of women in the school's history , we embarked upon our pursuit of intellectual, spiritual, and social development From the outset the class demonstrated a true spirit of leadership and cooperation. It soon became apparent that the Freshman Class of 1936-1937 would prove its worth.
The first social function of the year was the Freshman Welcome Dance, a gesture on the part of the Sophomore Class to welcome us to college life. Evidence of literary , scholastic , and athletic talent was our participation and success i n working on the staffs of the Exponent, the U of D. News , in our representation in the Honor Society, and in our intramural athletic activity.
After the Christmas holidays we returned to the campus to resume our intellectual pursuits. A card party , sponsored by our mothers, was well attended and prov:ed to be a financial success During the spring our attention was occupied with a moving picture of campus life , in which members of our class were given prominent parts. Many also had parts in the Monogram Minstrel. On May 2 we cooperated with the Open House program. Throughout April and May much of our attention was focused on the Greater University of Dayton program and on preparations for the June Jamboree.
As the Freshman Class of the Women ' s College looks forward to three more similarly happy years at the University of Dayton , we promise our continued cooperation with all of the school's und e rtakings
NO line of endeavor can the enthusiasm of the student body be so well expressed as in the field of sport. At Dayton, with either varsity or intramural competition in all sports open to every student, this fact has been better demonstrated this year than ever before.
The fall of the year is given over to football , that king of American collegiate athletics. A new innovation on this campus was an intramural football game which gained much popularity and was humorously dubbed " The Pansy Bowl Classic ." It will probably become an annual event. Through the winter , besides the long varsity basketball schedule , intramural bask e tball, bowling, and table tennis tournaments were held.
Spring saw intramural track and golf make their campus debuts, while varsity baseball , t e nnis, golf , and track t e ams played heavy Buckeye schedules. Intramural baseball and an all-campus tennis tournament closed the athletic program for 1936-193 7.
of Dayton's Athletic Board has the responsibility of making schedules and maintaining university policies in all athletic endeavors.
The board consists of four faculty members, chosen by the president of the university, and six alumni members, chosen by the Board of Governors of the Alumni association. Heading this committee is Dr. Bernard T. Schad, S.M., who is the faculty representative in the ahtletic department and in the Buckeye Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Other faculty members are: William J. Wohlleben, S.M., Francis J. Molz, S.M., and William A. Dapper, S.M. Alumni members are: Martin Kuntz, Ed. Becker, Jim Hartnett, Jack Brown, Merle Smith, and Dave Margolis, who act in an advisory capacity.
HAVING completed his fourteenth year as head coach, Harry Baujan can be proud of the splendid record that he has built up. Throughout the years his teams may have lost in reality but never in morale. It is this fighting sp i rit that brought the Flyers successfully through a tough 1936 football campaign.
Harry has been head football and line coach and baseball mentor, while also acting as athletic director. Under his guidance Dayton has become a power, commanding respect from all universities in its class.
JOE HOLSINGER came to the University of Dayton in the spring of 1935 as head basketball and golf mentor and backfield coach. Before coming to Dayton he served as assistant coach at the University of Florida and at the University of Wisconsin.
During his undergraduate days at Kansas State, Holsinger performed at left half and won all-American recognition. He also won recogni-
tion as a court star at the Kansas university. His court teams at the U. of D. have been known for their fighting spirit and his golf quartets have won national recognition for their outstanding play.
LOU TSCHUD I, freshman football coach, and director of intramurals, graduated from the U. of D. in 1934. In his senior year he was appointed varsity basketball mentor, being the first college coach to be recruited from undergraduates. His first-year football teams have produced some outstanding varsity performers , and his system of intramurals is one of the most complete in college circles.
BUILDING almost entirely from scratch, Coaches Harry Baujan and Joe Holsinger whipped together , in a little more than a month, a formidable sophomore grid combination that rampaged through nine games, winning four and dropping five. Two of the wins and three of the losses were recorded in Buckeye conference games and netted the Flyers fourth position in the loop.
Besides building a strong unit, the coaches developed some individual stars who received mention throughout the country. Ralph Niehaus garnered a tackle berth on the "Little AllAmerican" team; Paul Wagner occupied an" AllOhio" guard post; Ed Gutzwiller held down an " All-Buckeye" center job , and " Wee Willie"
Banks gained a half-back position on another "All-Buckeye" selection.
Opening one of the toughest seasons that a U. D. team has ever been forced to play , the Flyers traveled to Huntington, W Va. , and absorbed a 14-0 whitewash at the hands of Marshall. Playing brilliant defensive ball , the Flyer line staved off the Herd in the first half, but floundered in the second half and allowed Hunter and Richards to cross the coveted line. Inexperience, more than anything else , defeated the fighting first-year Flyers .
Rated underdogs , the Red and Blu e treked to Delaware to meet the defending co-cham-
Carr Voit Fitz Goers Grimes Wagner , C. Welterpions, Ohio Wesleyan, in their second start. After a slow first half, which ended in a 7-7 deadlock , the Flyers began puncturing the Bishop goal line almost at will in the third and fourth quarters as they crossed the goal line six times. However, inopportune penalties robbed the courageous Flyers of three scores , so the game ended 21-7.
Chicago DePaul' s Blue Demons invaded the stadium to give the Flyers a football lesson and departed with a 7-0 win. An umprie's costly last period illegal blocking penalty resulted disastrously for the Flyers. DePaul had held the strong University of Illinois to a 9-6 win just
before the Flyer game, so Dayton was comforted somewhat in its defeat
Wigwams and airplanes mixed in Dayton's next encounter, and the moderns proved second best as Miami trimmed Dayton 14-7. Llewellyn scored first and the conversion gave Miami a 7-0 advantage. However, Banks, Zotkiewicz , and Petkewicz combined to tie the score in the third canto
Then with a few minutes remammg in the final stanza , and the ball in the middle of the field , Miami attempted an aerial over the goal line. Two men , an Indian and a Flyer, went up for the ball. Both came down without it , but an
Wagner , P Gutzwiller French Kell y Scott Wirtz Georgeover-alert official ruled interference and gave Miami the ball on the one-yard line. Dayton's valiant line withstood three thrusts but weakened on fourth down and Miami scored to break the tie and win the game.
Huge Nippert stadium in Cincinnati was gayly decorated, and a large home-coming crowd cheered mightily as the Bearcats and Flyers mixed it up under the kliegs. A slow first quarter was ending when Cincinnati's great pass combination, Haby to Golding , clicked, and Dayton trailed 6-0.
But the second quarter had hardly started before the Flyers tied the score and went ahead by one point. When Fred George, kneeling on
the ground over the double stripes, made a sensational catch of Zotkiewicz's heave . Petkewicz's toe put Dayton one to the good. This lead was increased a short time later when Ray Fitz culminated a 67-yard sustained touchdown march with a scoring plunge.
Coming back in the last half the Flyers continued right where they left off in the first canto. After aerials and thrusts put the oval in scoring territory, Banks passed to French for the third and final Dayton score, and Dayton led 21-7. However, Cincinnati was still good for another score and crossed the goal in the final quarter when their famed pass combination again clicked. All in all it was a great game, a grand victory and a tribute to team and coaches.
Tscherne Garcia Olejynik Vatterott Smythe Bache NiehausUndefeated Western Reserve of Cleveland next appeared in the stadium and carried away a 19-7 win, but not before they knew they had been in a ball game. Zeh to Kelker passes filled the air all afternoon and accounted for the Redcat victory, but the Red and Blue displayed some nifty passing themselves, although Werner's catch was the lone score.
The Flyers had the Clevelanders worried in the third period when they snatched a 7-6 lead. However, Reserve came back stronger than ever to annex another touchdown before the third quarter ended, and added a third goal in the final mintues after a Flyer fumble gave them possession of the ball.
Dayton's own homecoming was marred by a 10-6 defeat administered by Ohio U. Close throughout, the game was hardly underway before the rampaging Bobcats crossed Dayton's goal. In less time than it takes to tell, the boys from Athens were hammering away at the Dayton goal again, but satisfied themselves with a field goal this time. Behind, I 0-0, the Hill toppers sent Cletus French squirming through a hole in the lin e after which he dodged and danced his way 67 yards for Dayton's only marker. Petkewicz's miss of the extra point was his first of the campaign. Although they controlled the pigskin during most of the last half, the Flyers could not produce the necessary punch to tally agam.
Werner Zotkiewicz Banks Petkewicz Giambrone Miller ManningHapless John Carroll's Blue Streaks put up a stubborn fight before succumbing to the Flyers
6-0 French ' s touchdown run after snagging a pass, being the only score. In this contest the Flyers showed none of the form and Ii ttle of the offense that had carried them through previous tussles. The hard, gruelling season was beginning to take its toll on the Flyers. They had played seven consecutive tough games and this Carroll let-down was not entirely unexpected.
Mother Nature provided a white table for the Flyers' Thanksgiving feast , and how the Flyers
did enjoy themselves! Running up a 40-12 score over the struggling Lutherans from Wittenberg , the Flyers preserved one of Harry Baujan's most cherished records- that of never having one of his teams outscored in a single season
"Wee Willie" Banks scored his first touchdown of the season in this engagement , although he had performed brilliantly in every contest. In fact , he liked the thrill of scoring touchdowns so well that he counted three on sprints of 92 , 90 and 23 yards. Elmer Bache, used only as a spot performer in previous games , was given hi s big chance and provided the fans with a sp ectacular wiggle, squirm and sprint e xhibition that carried away the show.
The Frederick W. Howell annual trophy for the most valuabl e player was awarded this year to Bill Petkewicz , sterling field gen e ral. Petkewicz , junior engin e er , gained this honor becaus e of h i s excellent blocking a bility and field generalship

Three U. D. students represented the University in the annual golden gloves boxing tournament Joe Martinez and Barney Doonan, lightweights, and Frank Baujan, welterweight, fought under the Red and Blue banner. However, Martinez was the only winner of the trio. He successfully defended his Dayton crown and made the trip to Chicago, where he was eliminated in the national tournament.
A squad of thirty freshman footballers coached by Lou T schudi made things tough for the varsity this year. Although playing no interschool games, the first-year men scrimmaged the varsitv several times each week. Some of the outst~ nding freshmen who are expected to break into the lineup next year include McDonough, Padley, Marre, Furst, Knorr and several others
DAYTON ' S inexperienced sophomore court team opened its intercollegiate campaign December 18 by dropping a 39-32 decision to the strong Toledo University Rockets. Coach Joe Holsinger used his entire squad in a vain attempt to find a winning combination.
On the following evening the Flyers journe yed to Detroit where the University of Detroit Titans
bowled them over to the tune of 45-24. Although playing on a par with the Michigan outfit in the last period , the Flyers were unable to ov e rcome the 25-6 lead held by the Titans at the half.
On January 5 U. D. opened its second court season in the Buckeye conference by dropping a one-sided game to the Thundering Herd from Marshall College , 51-35. Elmer Bache, Dayton ' s
Coach Holsinger
midget forward, started the league play off right by scoring 15 points.
Next on the slate was another conference tilt with Ohio Wesleyan, Dayton ' s ancient rival. For the first time in history the Flyers were successful in subduing the Bishops and in so doing marked up their first home conference victory In this 41-35 win Bache and lanky Fred George set the pace , scoring 19 and 12 points respectively
A non-conference tilt with Wittenberg turned out to be a last second thriller, with the honors going to the Lutherans , 32-31. Exciting from start to finish , the game was a hard one to drop. Dayton led unitl the final seconds, only to have victory snatched from its grasp when Lew Werner sank a one-handed shot from the side line.
When a last-minute scoring spree led by Fred George fell short by one point the Flyers lost another heart-breaking decision , this time to Miami, 30-29. Miami held on to a slight lead throughout the game.
In their Ohio U. encounter January 19, the Hilltopper quintet continued its losing streak by dropping a league tilt at Athens, 35-27 This victory over Dayton put the Bobcats into the B. A. A. spotlight as conference leaders January 23 at Springfield , U. D. lost another thriller to Wittenberg, 29-26.
Breaking their four-game losing streak at Delaware, the Flyers produced a real scoring punch to down Ohio Wesleyan 50-40. In this , their second conference win of the campaign , Joe Holsinger's ball hawks led throughout the
Welter Sullivan Newsock Banks Bache Niehaus George Garcia Hiehlegame, being in front 28-13 at the half. Johnny McAdams, Wesleyan's scoring ace, scored 18 points to share scoring honors wtih Fred George , who collected a like number.
Western Reserve entertained the Flyers next and had th e ir hospitality trampled upon as the sophomore Flyers trimmed them 45 -39. This win somewhat atoned for the loss that the Redcats inflicted on the Flyers during the football campaign.
However , the Flyers' two-game wmnmg streak was soon stopped as they dropped a 31-25 game at Akron the following evening This defeat gave the Flyers an even break on their two-game road jaunt into northern Ohio.
Again th e Holsingermen fell back into the loss column dropping three league tilts in a row. Ohio U. conquered them by the lopsided score of 44-18. Cincinnati inflicted a stinging 35-32 defeat, and Marshall topped them 48-41 after a hectic game This , the most bitterly fought conference battl e of the season , was the scene of a
thrilling individual scoring race between Bache and Marshall's Yest. Bache netted 24 points, but his efforts were overshadowed by Vest ' s 28 points.
The ,center jump was eliminated in the first half of the Wilmington game as an experiment, but the Flyers proved capable of adapting themselves to this new style and came out on top , 40-39 , after one overtime period.
Absorbing a 45-29 defeat at Cincinnati , the Flyers closed their books with a total of seven wins and twelve losses. Their Buckeye conference " sked " showed three wins and seven losses which netted them fourth place for the year.
Individually , Bache stood out for the Flyers , annexing 233 points during the season. His 130 points in B . A. A. games allowed him to capture second place in the individual scoring race , and his all-around performance won for him the distinction of being named on all-Buckeye teams and on the second all-Ohio team.

the able guidance of Freshman Coach Lou Tschudi, intramural sports witnessed the most successful season since their inauguration in 1926.
The outstanding competitive class event of the year was the track meet held in the U. D. stadium in April.
Basketball and softball proved most popular, leagues being formed in each sport. In basketball two leagues played through regulation schedules and the leading teams in each league engaged in a play-off series
Four bowling leagues were formed with both faculty and students participating. Winning team in each league rolled five games after the regulation schedule was completed to determine the champion.
Pool and table tennis tournaments brought medals to the individual winners, Henry Wong and Leo Monroe.
Intramural golf was organized on the campus for the first time this year. Twenty-six entrants paired off in the 18-hole elimination tournament which was played over Community Country Club course. A 36-hole round decided the winner in the finals.

CONSIDERING the lack of competitive experience, the rifle team completed a successful season, winning 21 of 44 scheduled matches. Lieutenant John Wright and Sergeant Monahan developed a formidable team with a squad composed mostly of freshmen and sophomores. The sharpshooters' schedule included matches with Ohio U., Wyoming, West Virginia, Kansas State , North Dakota , Washington , Alabama, Florida, Kentucky , Maryland, Porto Rico, Idaho, Johns Hopkins , Indiana, Cincinnati, Tennessee, Pittsburgh , and Carnegie Tech.
WHEN we are with people working toward a common end, when we gather to cooperate in the production of something worthwhile , when we take part in social functionsthen only does true education progress. At a small university this is just as true and as possible as at a very large one.
We all have different talents and propensities. Our aim is to make use of our gifts in the work of our life to their greatest degree, and these four years are therefore set aside to develop and apply them . So that this might be fully realized we make use of what are tritely termed extra-curricular organizations.
The student finds at Dayton many and varied outlets for all his enthusiasm concerning every type of vocation, be it scientific, medical, artistic, commercial, military, forensic, journalistic, political, or social. He finds that there is at least one club or organization which fits his personality and the work which he has chosen
THEstudent publishers of this Daytonian, headed by the seniors, in presenting their Class of 193 7 with a fine souvenir and chronicle of four years spent by them at the University of Dayton, point with pride to the annual's distinctive character and modern tone. Both from a structural and literary standpoint, the 1937 Daytonian is the result of intense and united endeavor to produce a book of truth and of beauty
As a souvenir, the Daytonian is not just another annual filled with pictures and paragraphs. It is a reminder, a memento of the comparatively carefree days spent in preparation for a lifetime's work. For the graduates of 193 7 its value will increase as the years accrue, as college days slip farther into the past, as memories become more evasive.
Dedicated to the devoted work of those who would make our U. of D. a greater university, this book is also a vibrant chronicle of 1937, the year when their unselfish ideal originated - a Greater University of Dayton.
AL THOUGH since 1935 the News has ceased to be the true student publication of former years , it has recently progressed along artistic lines as far as pure journalistic form is concerned , and has come to be considered as an "All Catholic" newspaper , and has achieved a " Second Class" honor rating in 193 7.
All these facts are due to the individualism, the feverish work , the avian artistry of Brother Kohles , since his appointment in 1935. He has introduced his "experimental flush , " artistic captions, thumb nail cuts , and other art materials into the new decorative format. By means of his ornate oratory he has constantly held before the eyes of the student journalists the beautiful but touching motto: "No Love Without Labor." To this true pioneer and individualist the News will ever be in debt for its meteoric rise in journalistic make-up
Brother George Kohles was assisted in his work by Martin J. Hillenbrand, the editor-inchief ; Isabelle Eck, James Martin, William O'Connor , and a staff of other students .
ULTIFARIOUS views, ideas, and general brainstorms of Dayton student writers presented in the form of fiction, essay, humor, poetry, reviews and criticisms, were found between the covers of Exponent during this last year. Dan Hobbs, in his initial year as editor, gave the student body a dynamic campus magazine in the modern manner
Edi tor Hobbs was ably assisted by Martin Hillenbrand, Jim Martin, Elmer Will, Marijane Spitler, Sue Economides, Kaye Herold, Ambrose Nakao, Dave Kersting, and a large number of other writers who contributed single stories throughout the year .
Prime mover in the Exponent's 193 7 success was Thomas Price, S.M., an ideal faculty adviser, who aided the staff immensely in making the magazine a true student publication. He also brought about a change in printing and cover make-up which gave Exponent a more pleasing appearance.
ITH Dwight Shannon and Robert Cotterman serving as co-editors, the fifth edition of the City of Dayton's Annual Civic Report appeared in the spring of 193 7. Covering all departmental and personnel activities in the Dayton governme ntal set-up, the 193 7 report contained about sixty pages, and it was ranked as one of the best of its type in the country.
Two student reporters were assigned to each department of the city offices to interview officials and compile data, the results of which were published under some twenty-five headings. An attempt was made to have the report distinctly or i ginal from those of former years. Use of tabular and graphic material made the bare facts more vital. Th i s latter work was handled by a special drafting committee.
Recognizing the responsibility of rendering service to the City of Dayton whenever possible , the University gladly sponsors such a project, which permits students to make personal contacts with political and executive officials. Both the office of the City Manager and the City Commission have expressed their appreciation of the work accomplished .
THIS student French publication made its first appearance on the campus last November, and smce then has been published monthly. Edited by Martin Hillenbrand, with a staff composed of advanced French studentsDoug Graves, Joseph Martin, James Martin, Walter Steffen, Tyrus Winter- "The Little Chatterer" has assumed an established position along with the other University publications. Thomas Poitras, S.M., professor of French, as the faculty adviser, assisted these students through 193 7.
Written entirely in French, each issue contained from six to ten pages. Subjects relating to French culture, society, literature, politics, and general information were presented or discussed. Regular features included the Page Religieuse, discussing French feasts, shrines,and churches; the Amusons-Nous page, bringing readers the latest in French humor; and the editor's monthly article on French politics
INITS second year, the Alpha Sigma Tau Honor Society arrived at definitive formulation of its constitution in addition to a regular gamut of activity. Functioning primarily to give recognition to the intellectual" elite", the society was organized in the fall of 193 5. Since then it has been under the direction of Rev Francis J. Friedel, S.M.
Admission to Alpha Sigma Tau follows automatically upon the attainment of a 2.5 pointhour average at the end of a semester. All seniors qualified to receive the coveted honor key of Alpha Sigma Tau by virtue of a cumulative 2.5 average for their first seven semesters at U. of D. become "ipso facto" members for their final semester.
Officers elected at the first monthly meeting of the second semester for 193 7 were James Ayres, president; Donald Coan, vice-president; Marijane Spitler , secretary; and Paul Wick , treasure r.
AGROUP of prospective medical students carried the campus pre-medical society through its second year with a vaned program of medical and scientific discussions. Meeting in the Biology Lecture Hall twice a month through 1936 and 1937, Sigma Delta Pi members heard medical students and physicians discuss interestin~ topics related to the medical sciences and the art of healing.
Student speakers chose the themes for their talks from medical history, the program being inaugurated by an outline of ancient and medieval medicine by David Kersting, followed by Ralph Lohrey on Galen, William Jolley on Hippocrates, and Michael Lahood on William Harvey. Walter Reiling, M.D., spoke on student life in medical school; Howard Campbell , M.D., on mental diseases and their classification; E. C. Fishbein, M.D., on the practice of psychiatry; Miss Mildred J effrey on the medical society: and Mrs. Con Fecher on the family
Officers of Sigma Del ta Pi during 19)6-193 7 were Marion Hay, William Jolley, David Kersting, Angelo Farruggio. Dr. Francis Molz , S.M., head of the pre-medical department , was the facu lty adviser.
TRA YEUNG nearly five thousand miles throughout the East and South and Middle West, six members of the campus debating society argued the minimum wage question with the d e bating teams of over thirty colleges and universities during the months of February and March, 1937. In addition to these contests, more than a score of formal arguments were conducted at home during the season.
Martin Hillenbrand and William O'Connor made their second Eastern trip in two years of competitive debating, and again these two juniors made the focal point of th e ir journey New York City. They engaged in twelve contests. Marion Hay and Dan Hobbs met in debate the teams of eleven colleges and universities located in the South , while a third forensic jaunt was a four hundred mile circuit of the State of Ohio made by Donald Coan and Eugene May , which included four intercollegiate debates.
Dr. William 0 Wehrle , S.M. , debating coach , under whose supervision Upsilon Delta Sigma has developed to a great extent, again gave much of his valuable time and help to the debaters
AL THOUGH still in its infancy, Student Council has already proved its important position as a mediator between the student body and the faculty executives The senior class president presides as chairman , while the president of the junior class serves as general secretary. The Student Council gives consideration to all matters submitted to it by the student body, including social functions , scholastic affairs, and miscellaneous problems. It is moderated by R ev. George Renneker , S.M ., who has the power of ratification or veto of Student Council decisions, and by James Connelly , alumni secretary.
Operating for its second year at the University, this student group has enjoyed added prestige and efficiency of function. Composed , as originally designed in 193 5, of the president and one additional representative of each class, the Student Council has used its relatively small number of twelve members to great advantage in disposing of its business with speed and prec1s10n.
THESE junior and senior chemistry students met weekly throughout the year to hear members speak on interesting technical subjects related to chemistry. Dr. William Wohlleben, S.M . , head of the Department of Chemistry, supervised the seminar.
The advantages of these discussions are many. The speaker benefits from lecturing experience and open discussions; he learns the art of demonstration and the use of lantern slides; library facilities are actively used; and inspection trips are made to vario 1s industrial plants.
This year Dick Hollenkamp spoke on lubricating oils; Foster Fryman talked on chemical nomenclature; Robert Lipp gave an excellently demonstrated lecture on emulsions; James Schwendemann explained water analysis; and Paul Varley spoke on corrosion. The junior members discussed the products and manufacturing methods of the DuPont company.
Officers are: Foster Fryman, president; Robert Lipp , vice-president; George Dudl, secretary; and Dick Hollenkamp, reporter.
THEstudent chapter of the I.E. S., organized by Dr. U. J. Rappel, Ph.D., Head of the Department of Electrical Engineering, is under the leadership of Fred Schulenberg and Tom Armstrong. Members are electrical engineering students. The I. E. S. was organized in 1906 for" the advancement of the theory and practice of illumination engineering and the dissemination of knowledge relating thereto."
The society meets monthly, at which time certain members address the assembly on subjects connected with modern problems in illumination. After the talk an open forum is held The subject matter of most of the talks is obtained from "Transactions of the I. E. S."
Some of the addresses presented by members in 193 7 were: "The Photo-electric Spectrophotometer" by Jack Stanton, and" Applications of Sodium Vapor Lamps" by Thomas Armstrong.
HE first student chapters in affiliation with the A. S C. E. were established in schools of engineering in the spring of 1926 , at which time the U . of D. chapter was organized. I ts membership is made up of s ophomore , junior and s enior students in the Civil Engineering Department.
At meetings held every second week a program consisting of lantern slides and lectures are presented by the members, or , when possible , by a practicing engineer. Matters of importance in the engineering world are thus brought to th e attention of th e chapter. Inspection trips to engineering projects in and near the city give the student an opportunity to view the practical application of the classroom theory.
Dr. Bernard T. Schad, S.M. , dean of the College of Engineering, in the capacity of adviser, attends all meetings, offering suggestions and stressing the professional responsibilities of future engineers. The officers for the year 193 7 were Bernard C Moore, president ; and Robert Cotterman , secretary-treasurer
INTHE early part of December, 1936, the Mechanical Engineering Society was established through the efforts of Andrew Weber, S.M., who is also the adviser of the society. Membership is open to all mechanical engineering students of the school. The purpose of the organization is to foster engineering education among its members, as well as a practical knowledge of the the~retical subjects studied.
Meetings are held every three weeks. After the business of the society has been transacted instructive lectures are delivered, which during the past year dealt with air conditioning, high temperature insulation, boilers, stokers, and pulverized coal.
Inspection trips are made by the members to various industrial plants to view mechanical engineering in practice. Herbert Gr euter, Robert Unverferth, and Bernard Hollenkamp comprise the committee in charge of arranging these trips.
William P etkewicz '38, was elected as the first president of the society, and William Regan '37, as secretary-treasurer and publicity director
PRESIDENT of the U. of D. Radio Club is Jack Stanton , who owns and operates short wave station W8DJM; while Tom Armstrong , better known in th e short wave radio world as W8MFN, is the secretary and treasurer. Regular meetings serve to initiate beginners in radio technique as well as offer opportunities for the study of code and the building of equipment, with the ultimate purpose of enabling each enthusiast to pass the necessary examination for the amateur license. With the assistance of the more advanced students, and the facilities of the laboratory equipment, progress is rapid for the beginner. Officers of the club are elected from members of amateur standing only.
The Radio Club desires to enable the students interested in this hobby to derive its great benefits while still at school, so that upon graduation contacts via the air may continue to strengthen the friendships which they make with other operators all over the world. According to one of the Radio Club's members, "Amateur radio is the means of communication with others on e qual terms, of finding new friendships , adventure, and prestige while seated at one ' s own fireside."
RADIO program singing was the highlight of this year's Glee Club activities. They traveled to WL W and sang as a guest of that station, and on several occasions they sang over WHIO. On all occasions they did commendable singing over the air waves. The combination of the Glee Club and the Varsity Four, consisting of Bill Regan, Elmer Will, Joe Varley, and Jack Ferron, has been outstanding in college choral groups.
The Glee Club has worked in cooperation with the Monogram Club in presenting a minstrel for the past three seasons, and this year they presented an operetta in conjunction with the Notre Dame Glee Club of Villa Julienne.
The Club officers for the past year were William Regan, president; Elmer Will, vicepresident; Larry Piening, secretary-treasurer.
THE youngest musical organization on the campus , organized in the fall of 1936 by Musical Director Maurice R. Reichard , made its debut in December of the same year in a WHIO radio program. Several appearances at assemblies followed , and the repertoire of the singers was gradually increased. One of the most beautiful as well as one of the most difficult select ions attempted was Mr . Reichard's arrangement of " Caprice Viennois " .
A precedent was established when the Mixed Chorus took part in the annual Monogram Club minstrel, for it was the first appearance of the women in the traditionally male production Their group interpretation of" St. Louis Blu ~s " was enthusiastically received
Th is fledgling choral society hopes to eventually produce musical comed i es and operettas. At present it is the nucleus of the campus' unofficial dramatic club
COMPOSED entirely of boarding students, the Choir met twice a week for rehearsal throughout the school year under the direction of Thomas Poitras, S.M. Officers are Joseph Varley, president; Caldwell Moore, vice-president; Walter Steffen, secretary.
Brother Poitras inserts into each rehearsal period a short lesson in theory and music appreciation, with the purpose in mind to give the members information which will be invaluable to them throughout their lives. It was also a custom for the choir members to attend the concerts of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra during the year.
The beautiful Gregorian Chant was the basic unit of the Choir's repertoire. Among the Masses practiced and rendered were several compositions of Rev. Rossini, Rev. Griesbacher, Rev. Holles, Yon and Biggs.
THE history of the University Dance Orchestra dates back a number of years , but it did not become a well known campus organization until two years ago when Stan Wawroski, of New York City, took over the directorship under the guidance of Mr. Maurice Reichard, head of the Music Department of the University. At this time the dance band grew from an eight-piece unit to an eleven-piece combination, and was given the name of the" U. of D. Collegians."
In 1936-193 7 the dance band was again organized by Stan Wawroski. The orchestra is filling an extensive series of engagements this year, playing at different functions in Dayton and vicinity. They have played for the following organizations: The Catholic Youth Organization; at Miss Shirley Smith's debut in Oakwood; St. Elizabeth's Alumnae Nurses Association; the dance sponsored by the University's College of Women; the annual Monogram-Glee Club minstrel.
The hope that in the future the Orchestra would become an active part of the different activities on the campus was realized this year when the band was hired by the Women's College for their annual Spring Swing.
THEmost colorful organization on the campus, the Band has gained fame throughout this part of the country for its music, varying from the dulcet to the martial, its m:1neuverings, and letter formations.
It is completely due to the efforts of Musical Director Maurice Reichard, who took over the direction of the Band in 1929, that it has become a well-organized and appreciated unit
In the spring of 193 7 the Band gave its annual concert in the N. C. R. Schoolhouse. Last fall it accompanied the football team on its trips to Ohio Wesleyan, Cincinnati, and Miami. The duties of drum major were shared by James Leonard and Charles Hayes .
June, Company B, First Regiment of the Pershing Rifles, crack drill company of the University of Dayton, ends the most active year of its existence under the leadership of Cadet Captain Fred Schulenberg.
The annual public Blue and White Military Ball in April, proved a high spot in the year's act1v1t1es This year the organization for the first time in its history initiated freshman pledges informally as well as formally.
Founded in 1894, at the University of Nebraska by Lieutenant John J. Pershing (now General), for the purpose of formation of leadership and excellence in military achievement, the national organization now numbers more than twenty-five units in the universities and colleges throughout the country
DISTINCTIVE of the Monogram Club is the cardinal-sweatered athlete who appears as a glamorous figure on the University's campus. Composed of men who have won the i r monograms in var ious fields of endeavor , it represents organized effort to increase respect and regard for the coveted Monogram
Since its conception twelve years ago, the Monogram Club has created a cooperative spirit of loyalty in upholding the athletic prestige of the University of Dayton Men like " Skeeter" Eisele, "Sneeze" Achiu , Lou Mahrt , and many other former Monogram men provide a traditional background for operations of the present Monogram Club
The third annual Monogram minstrel show proved to be the most spectacular dramatic attainment witnessed on the campus in recent years. It ran two nights to capacity crowds and was credited "the tops". The June Jamboree provided the men of letters with an opportunity to show their cooperation in the machinations of big business.
Officers presiding were John Smythe , president; William Go e rs, vice-president ; Charles Wagner , secretary; and Roy Bo e mer , treasurer.
THE Women's Athletic Association was renewed this year, and a full program awaited all women students interested in any athletic phase of extra-curricular activity. During 1936-37 Eileen Fiel was president ; Marijane Spitler, vice-president; Marjorie Coflman, secretary; Isabelle Eck, publicity manager; and Kathleen Morgan, scrap-book keeper.
The program offered participation in volleyball, tennis, basketball , riding, and hiking. Both a singles and a doubles tennis tournament were organized in the early spring under the direction · of Marijane Spitler. Rosanna Wagner directed the volleyball program , and Mary Graziano the basketball program. In the spring every week found Virginia Stoecklein as hiking captain, leading a group of wanderlust-filled coeds over hill and dale. Riding already had its devotees among the women, and Isabel Sachs persuaded a few of the more timid girls who were rather doubtful of the horse's good nature to take up the sport
THE military cadet may elect to complete four years of military training including six weeks of summe r camp , which fits him for his commission of Second Lieutenant in the Organized Reserve Corps. This year's advanced classes consist of forty members selected for their work in the military department during the two basic years , and who successfully pass the necessary physical requirements
The class program of the junior year is most interesting and educational. The juniors receive appointments as cadet non-commissioned officers in the school organization. Their work is carried on under the direct superv1s10n of Major Keltner.
At the end of this year the cadet leaves for his six weeks of camp at Fort Knox, Ky. The weather is hot , the food good , the shoes and hikes are too long, and the rifle is his constant companion, but no cadet is ever sorry he attended .
The final year is under the supervision of Major J. F. Strain. In the senior class there are only thirteen members - leaders of the largest military class in the school's history. The cadet is now a commissioned officer and is given a permanent assignment to a unit which fits his appointment. In the final inspection the senior best fitted is chosen as cadet major. This inspection ends the participation in military activities at the University for the Class of 193 7.
THE Central Sodality Committee was organized in November, 1936 , to fill a need for united sodality action Its purpose is to suggest a common program for all the sodalities and to sponsor student convocations to arouse interest in this form of Catholic Action. Marijane Spitler , Martin Hillenbrand , William Sachs , Glenn Smolka, and Gene Brands are the members of this committee.
The Women's Sodality undertook for its program this year the support of one poor family, and kept up frequent gifts of food and clothing for the city poor. The members likewise entered into a movement for the spread of Catholic literature
Active membership in the Catholic Youth Organization (C. Y. 0.) was one of the distinguishing features of the Saint Joseph Hall Sodality for 1936-1937. During the basketball season the members spent much of their time in coaching the parish teams of Dayton
Women's College
In the early part of the s e cond semester a sociality was organized for the off-campus students , but this was later chang e d into the socalled Off-Campus Club , mad e up of both Catholic and non-Catholic students This club held three very interesting and entertaining meetings featured by bowling , pool, and pingpong contests.
Features of the Nazareth Hall Sociality were the socials which the members held regularly in their club rooms , and the discussions provided by outside speakers invited to attend their me~tings. Their activities this year maintained the standard of the initial year.
The Alumni Hall Sociality, always one of the most active sodalities on the campus, held a meeting every month, inviting outside speakers to arouse interest in topics of a religious nature. These meetings were usually followed by entertainment or games.

HILARIOUS night life, happy dances, gay parties, pleasant picnics, and camp suppers, and humorous plays and minstrels.Night life, when we learned to be chivalrous at all costs, and adoring without really meaning it.
- Picnics, where we played softball on green golf fairways, sang old-time songs to the strumming of guitars, and ate and ate. - We roared and rolled in the aisles at the antics of the performers at many a Monogram Club dramatic production. - Courthouse rallies, with citizens gaping in awed wonder at these yelling students from the "School on the Hill." - General assemblies, where we listened to the talks of great men in their field, or applauded students receiving coveted honors, or were very bored at debates on Fascism and Communism. - "Open House" days, when we showed bewildered parents and high school students what we do at college.Yes, all "features" of the years at U. of D. Feature doing without them!
RED and blue lights cast their soft beams on two hundred and fifty couples dancing to the fine melodies of Charles Stenross and his famous Lotus Garden Band at the University of Dayton Junior Prom last February. Laughter rang through the Biltmore ballroom , and smiling faces displayed the gaiety that permeated the evening's activities.
The lovely Virginia Lehman was the 1937 Prom Queen, and with her escort , Junior Class President Dan Hobbs , she led the Grand March at midnight When the evening waned and the final waltz was over , the Junior Prom of '3 7 had become a glamorous memory
THE entire Class of 1937 gathered at the Triangle Ballroom on the evening of May 21 , 193 7 , for the grand finale of their college days With a great portion of the student body in attendance , about three hundred couples danced to the strains of Noble Sissie ' s orchestra. The seniors had the hall decorated in the traditional red and blue, the evening was pleasantly warm, and the moon was full. The dance will always be remembered by those who attended it , but especially by the seniors will its memory be cherished- as their own farewell to college days
QNCE more the Biltmore ballroom took on a martial appearance as colorful uniforms were donned by Dayton members of the Pershing Rifles for the annual Military Ball. This 193 7 "Blue and White" Ball was another social success. Frankie Schenk' s orchestra furnished the music.
Given in the latter part of April, the dance was attended by distinguished Army officers, prominent members of the Officers ' Reserve Corps, and students and faculty of the University of Dayton.
ESTABLISHING a new precedent in fraternal social life, the Dayton chapter of Pershing Rifles this year held an exclusive dance for members of the organization.
This affair was given at the Miami Flagship, but it is certain that the atmosphere was anything but that of the salty sea- the Army was in full control. The Pershing Rifle Sweetheart Song was played for the first time and introduced to the Dayton company.
It is believed that this event will become an annual affair in Pershing Rifle circles.
ATTHE end of September , 1936 , the annual Freshman Welcome Dance was given by the Sophomores at the Miami Hotel. They obtained Charles Budde's orchestra , and the dance proved to be a fine affair with over two hundred couples in attendance. The Empire Room was appropriately decorated with red and blue pennants , streamers and balloons
The high point of the dance was the playing of the" U . of D . March" by the orchestra . Thus were the Frosh fittingly welcomed to U. of D. and introduced to campus social life.
Q N A pl e asant- spring evening in the first week of April, the Women's College presented their first Spring Swing In the ballroom of the Van Cleve Hotel in downtown Dayton one hundred and fifty couples danc e d to the lilting melodies of Stanley Wawroski's U . of D . Collegians
It i s earnestly hoped that the Spring Swing will become a traditional event on the U. of D. campus Th e graduates of 1937 who attended this dance will ever recall it as a most pleasant and enjoyable event. Congratulations to the girls who made it such a complete success!
AGREATER interest in dramatics at the University was displayed this year when campus theatrical activities opened with a fanfare of rural instruments, including fiddles and bazookas on the occasion of the "Farmer Minstrel , " presented for the student body as part of the pre-Christmas festivities
Highli £ h t ing th~ 1936-37 theatricals was the Monogram Club's presentation of the U. D . "Follies." With Mr Maurice Reichard directing and Jess Bailey and Lou Tschudi assisting, the Monogram Club's bill riotously touched upon the burlesque side of the show business and introduced "Uncle Tom's Nite Club." Dave Kersting, Elmer Will, Joe Varley , and Roy Boemer paced through the character parts, while the singing mixed chorus added the " nite club" atmosphere. A line of "beef trust" dancers , comprised mostly of varsity football men , proved to be the stars of the show, as they daintily tripped over the stage boards .
AS A PUBLIC UTILITY we assume the responsibility of standing rea dy to meet any and all demands made upon us for service. This m eans we must not only advance with the communities we serve, but ahead of them Growth of the cities where we operate must be anticipated months in advance and steps taken to prov i de increased facilities and personnel to insure dependabl e service at all times
