Rev. John A Elbert, S .M.

The President Speaks
R ev. John A. Elbert, S.M., assumed the duties of president of the University of Da y ton following the annual appointments of members of the Society of Mary in A ugust, 1938. At the same time his predecessor, Very Rev. Walter C. Tredtin , S.M. , was e levated to the position of provincial of the Cincinnati pro v i nce, to which the U of D belongs.
Th e formal inauguration of Father Elb e rt in December marked the first time in th e his to r y of the university that a president was inducted into office with full aca d emi c pomp and splendor. On this occasion Father Elbert received the h omage a nd fe licitation of many delegates who had assembled for this purpose from the leadin g institutions of hi gher l earning and learned soci e ties in this country
Father E l be rt has shown hims e lf k eenl y aware of the dangers threatening present-day edu cation and adheres strongly to th e b e lief that democracy errs in seeking to ove rthrow th e po sition of education as the ari s tocracy of the intellect. Being a ge nuin e " mixer ," h e has won the admiration of faculty and students alike Con tinuin g the task b eg un by his predecessor in building a " Greater Univers it y of Da y ton, " he announc e d late in February the establishment of a graduate sch o ol in education and Engli sh , enabling the university to offer master's deg r ees in th es e fi eld s .
As Fa th e r E lb ert approa ch es th e close of his first year as president of th e Un i versity of D ay ton hi s s terlin g executive qualities become more manifest. W h at he h as a ccomplish ed durin g this short period supports th e prediction that his regime w ill b e mo s t fertil e in produ cin g new and better thin g s for the univers i ty, thus eff ec tin g th e r ealization of th e full educational potentialities of th e Uni versi ty o f Da y ton , as we ll as adjustin g and r emolding existin g fa ciliti es to m ee t the nee d s of a chan g in g edu cational sys tem

George J. Renneker, S.M., has held the positions of vice-president, registrar and dean of men at the University of Dayton. He has held his posts through the reign of three presidents.
Father Renneker's friendly advice on curricular and extra-curricular problems has been invaluable to the students. His philosophy as an educator distinguishes him as a conservative "never catering to passing academic fads at the sacrifice of the truest and best in traditional standards and proven methods."

Checking in four years ago from a considerable variety of localities and climes, we were the first freshmen to wake up and find women in our midst. Some of us, still a little prudish from the strictly stag days , gave them their own classrooms and sat back to await results. By the time we were perspiring through the annual military inspection spring had arrived and the campus, replete with flowers and trees developed an epidemic of sighing couples swearing undying love.
Returning that fall, we weren't the usual sophisticated sophomores - we merely enjoyed a true appreciation of our worth. As proof we put men in every activity and invented a couple of new ones so the ladies could get in too.
Came our third year and Martin and Steffen took over management of the Exponent and News, the latter pulling down an all-American rating; Manning, Niehaus and Wagner divided among themselves a bunch of all-Ohio and allBuckeye ratings; and the girls began to get into a few heretofore masculine classes.
Returning for the last time to find President Tredtin succeeded by capable Fr. Elbert, time flew, bringing with it a kaleidoscope of inauguration , second reign of Homecoming Queen Mary Graziano and a series of school radio programs. By this time the fair sex had moved in, bag and baggage, becoming full-fledged coeds. Announcement was made of a graduate school to open in July. And now we're ready to step out into a troubled world, better able to face it for our four years at U.D.
We present herewith a representative group of seniors you didn't expect to meet. Most of them haven't gotten a lot of publicity, but through their loyal support of U. D. and its activities have helped make this senior class one of the greatest in the school's history.
For in s tance, Joe Andrasik was a rifle team member for three years and played football for four , besides engaging in quite a few other activities. Bill Buehrle hasn't quite managed to hid e his light, either, beams having been seen through his four years with the band and with the rifle team.
Paul Wagner is well known for his prowess on the gridiron , and especially the lately-earned alternate all-American rating, but he isn't so famous for his high scholastic rating in the electrical engineering department. He was soph preside nt, too.
Jimmy Pflum, Damon to Ray Fitz's Pythias, was a real Joe Co lle ge . Ray , meanwhile, managed to make high grades in chem ica l engineering despite the long hours spent at footba ll.
Tom Ryan is familiar for his activity on the Daytonian, first as photography and then as associate editor. Rolly Myers hasn't been heard from a lot, but he's been busy coaching various hi gh school football and basketball teams.
Jim Krumhansl might be called the class genius, majoring in electr i ca l engineerin g and clarinet. He builds radio s too, havin g disturbed more than one class with a little portable job he constructed. Head of the Spirit committee , Johnny Ha_cker has been occupied with inoculating students and teams with the will to win.
Last but not least is Frank Lasar, president of the student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and an outstanding intramural performer.

Three short years ago U. of D. saw the enrollment of one of the largest frosh classes in its history. A swirl of school activities, curricular and extra-curricular, swallowed up most of us as lowly underclassmen.
Returning in our second year, we greeted the newcomers with that sophisticated air which only a sophomore can master. After running the hapless freshie s through the gantlet of an initiation, we broke down and honored them with th e Freshman Welcome dance.
Immediately upon the entrance into this, our never-to-be-forgotten junior year, some of our members distinguished themselves upon the gridiron . Jack Padley, Norm Hoelzer, Joe Thomas, Jean Stapenhorst, Tony Furst, Glen Smolka and others were particularly outstanding. Following upon the heels of thes e individuals were a host of others who spread Dayton's fame on the baske tball court, debater's rostrum, stage, track, diamond and, most important of all , on the academic platform.
Socially, our Junior Prom, with the smooth tunes of Bert Block and his bell music, was the high spot of the year. We were all proud of it and walked about with our chests out for weeks Slowly but surely, accompanied by the inevitable head-splitting exams, the year drew to a close, leaving with us delightful memories and the anticipation of another grand year ahead of us. Truly our president, Jean Stapenhorst, and his fellow officers , guided us through a successful year.

Largest freshman class in U. of D. history , the class of '41, started college life at Dayton in 1938. After the preliminary orientation, there came in rapid succession the cap crowning, soph battle, sophomore tea dance, official welcome by the president, and a round of school work and extra-curricular activities. Then came pep rallies and a grand football season . First semester exams were followed quickly by spring which produced the usual number of victims for Cupid.
A few familiar faces were missing when school opened this year, but we welcomed some new ones too. We noticed the lost look on the faces of the green freshies, and remembered how we felt, but this didn't stop us from giving them a swell initiation and a real fight in the frosh-soph battle. Our dance, the Freshman Welcome, held at the Miami, was another social triumph. President Johnny Chalmers and his committee get a vote of commendation for this Football season came again and took some of our members: Costell, Rumig, Zwiesler, Moran , Pernush, Humm. From our ranks went Zwiesler and Westendorf for the court team. Debate took Kirby, Chalmers, Wool and Shimanek.
Once more spring pops up and brings an end to our second year of college. Before the finis, however , came more sports, a social season, and those hairpulling final exams. But these all left us with two more years of work and play.

Two hundred and twenty-nine strong, the freshman class of '39 entered U. D.'s welcoming portals in September and discovered early the value of patience, since many of them waited in line from eight in the morning until three in the afternoon to register.
Exams, always the bane of students, were our main occupations for the next few days. An initiation inflicted the burden of reciting the freshman poem along with wearing placards announcing the wearer's identity. Telling the sophs they were "swell fellows," contrary to common belief, furnished more amusement.
Cap crowning along with the singing and cheering that took place on the steps of the courthouse let off some of the pent-up enthusiasm of the freshies. A taste of the torture of a parade in the heat of an Indian summer day and a battle royal for the possession of the sophomore flag ( which later proved to be a piece of an old tablecloth) resulted in defeat for the freshmen. As a consequence we had to wear freshman caps until Thanksgiving.
As a reward for our good sportsmanship the sophs gave the Freshman Welcome dance which marked our debut into select college society .
Charles McCloskey, president; Paul Ryan, v i ce -p resident; J eanne Withers, secretary; and Robert Swank, treasurer, ably guided our destinies throughout the year.

Two hundred gay, informal couples gathered together at the Miami hotel to inaugurate the university's social season. Putting aside memories of the Freshman week fracas, with its flag pole fight, the march to the courthouse, and the hilarious stunts of harassed freshies, all united in the friendly spirit of hospitality and spent the fleeting hours dancing to the lilting rhythms of Dick Skapik's orchestra.
Under the able leadership of Johnny Chalmers, assisted by Jeanne McLaughlin, Betty Jane Israel, Margaret Ann Mess, Joseph Hollenkamp, Martha Rose Manny, Leo Farber, Charles McBride, Russell Schlattman, and Duncan Obee, the dance proved a social success of the first degree.

An annual affair of three years' standing, the Pershing Rifle Frolic is the only dance given by a campus organization exclusively for its members. Held each year in early December, the dance has become one of the big social events of the season.
This year the affair was staged at the Dayton Country Club with Dick Skapik's college orchestra furnishing the marching and dancing music. Novelties of the Frolic included a reception line and the awarding of medals to outstanding pledges by Lieut.-Col. D. R. Kerr.

Military splendor was the order of the evening of April 14, when the ballroom of the Miami was once again filled with trim uniforms and smart formals, accompanied by all the gleaming brass and glistening leathe,r that make the annual Military Ball the most colorful social event of the year.
At their "Blue and White" ball this year the Pershing riflemen were hosts to distinguished army officers, prominent members of the Officers Reserve Corps, representatives from Pershing companies of other universities, many former cadets and a large majority of the cadet corps. One oI th e novel features of the dance was continuous music furnished by two orchestras alternating in the same ballroom. As entertainment during the intermission, a squad of senior cadet officers presented a special drill routine.

"Spring Swing" is the annual dance sponsored by wom e n s tud ents of the university. Inaugurated in 1937, the dance proved so succe ssful that it has become a custom.
Starting along modest lines, the 1937 Spring Swing wa s a complete success. Then in 1938, wishing to make the dance unusual, th e women turned the table s on their escorts by calling for them, purcha sing bids and taking over all financial responsibility . .
Miss Eileen Fiel, president of the women's organization, was general chairman of the dance. Working under her direction were Florence Siegel, Mary Graziano, Marjorie Coffman, Mary Sharkey, Miriam Lo sh, Mary Ann Fry s inger, Ann Keye s and A nn Ferneding.

Bringing to an end four years of academic and social life, the Senior Farewell, planned and executed by president Tom Manning and his energetic committee, was replete with smiles and tears as seniors bid adieu to their college careers and to each other.
Held at Triangle Ballroom, May 20, the dance was a complete success as Gray Gordon's Tic-Toe Orchestra offered both sweet and swing to satisfy all.
Members of the committee were Bob Stoecklein, Ray Fitz, John Hacker, Ralph Niehaus, Mary Graziano, Kay Struck, Les Giambrone, Paul Wagner, Don Coan, Jake Baker, Willie Banks, Bob Moran, Bill Fitzpatrick, Ed Bishop, Jack Torpey and Jack Ferron.

Vigorously fanning those few glowing sparks of literary genius that somehow survive civilization's ruthless regimentation, the Exponent, oldest of campus publications, has added its bit to the history of American letters and to the name and fame of the university. Issued monthly, it furnished the chief outlet for the embryonic Miltons, Addisons and "Immortal Bards" of Dayton and, by its active editorial policy and tone of dignity, made itself strongly felt in an ever-widening sphere of influence. In the eight editions of the Exponent, collegiate authors, playwrights and poets offered original and entertaining literary products ranging from the utmost in seriousness to the heights of hilarity.
Seldom did the Exponent step from the realms of literature to deal with outside activity, being content to let the journalistic organs of the university handle such matters
James Martin headed the editorial staff for the second successive year, with Marijane Spitler, Ambrose Nakao, S.M., Donald Coan, Alma Braun , Walter Steffen, Karl Schreiber and Ernest Sharpe as associates while Prof. Thomas J. Price, S .M ., supervised the organization as faculty advisor.
In the third year of its publication, "The Little Chatterer" is the only foreign language publication at the university . The staff for 1938-39, working under editor Jim Martin, included Tyrus D. Winter, Marjorie Coffman, Rob ert Rounds, S .M., Margaret Ann Mess, Paul Agnew, and Warner Rohrba ch, S.M. Mme . Fauvet -McLaughlin, native Frenchwoman and former Parisian, helped to perfect the mon thly publication with her advi ce and work as faculty advisor.
Regular features consisted of a section devoted to articles such as food recipes that would be of interest to women, a gossip and humor column, account s from French history, the editor's monthly article on European politics, and the department "Des Arts , de la M u sique, de la Litteratur e." Distinctive artistic elements were provided thro u gh portrait covers, cartoons of university students, and sketch es showing the trends of th e times in women's fashions, contrib u ted by Margaret An n Mess and Marjorie Co ffman.
Although just an embryo in comparison with other campus publications, the Sigma Delta Pi News, published by the Sigma Delta Pi pre-medical society, has advanced steadily during its two years of existence. It boasts of being the only publication sponsored by a campus organization.
The News is published at regular intervals during the curricular year, treating current topics in the field of medicine and news of interest to present and past members of the society. In this way it serves as a means of contact between alumni, as well as being a source of information concerning the activities of the society and department .
Under the direction of editor Alma C. Braun, the staff included Arthur Millonig, Tyrus Winter, John Chalmers, William Paul, Leo Donley, Jack Alter, James Gibson, Max Wool, Richard Schneble, Ralph Lohrey, Ray Kahn, Paul Beare and Anthony Rush, with Dr. Francis J. Molz, S.M., acting as faculty advisor.
Each year smce 1931 the Dayton Municipal Activities Bureau has produced "bigger and better" civic reports University of Dayton students from all departments are responsible for the collection, editing, and assembling of the material which they turn out as a revealing collection of civic facts, graphically and pictorially illustrated.
Much favorable comment results from nation-wide sources. In a letter from City Manager F. 0. Eichelberger, the following indication of the quality of last year's report is given: "It is without doubt the most complete, comprehensive and the best prepared report the City of Dayton has ever published. We have received many testimonials to this effect, and are only too glad to pass them on to the student body itself." Alex Rudzienski and Arthur Millonig co-edit this year's report.

Company B, 1st Regiment, Pershing Rifles, attempts to promote character and leadership, and to establish drill units of the highest military caliber. It is affiliated with the national fraternity of Pershing Rifles, founded by General John J. Pershing in 1894 at the University of Nebraska.
Early last fall 70 new members were initiated into the society, and participated in individual, squad, and platoon competition within the company under the leadership of Major Edgar A. Keltner, U.S.A ., faculty advisor, Cadet Captains Thomas P. Rab and Bernard F. Hollenkamp, regimental staff officer, 1st Lt. Earl P. Wiley, Jr., 2nd Lts. Frank J. Schmitt and John J. Lemming, and 1st Sgt. Robert Q. Jones.
Social high spots of the Pershings' year were the annual Military Ball and the Pledge Dance.
For the first time in its history, the Dayton unit was host to the annual regimental drill meet held May 12. Teams from Ohio State university, Akron university, the University of Kentucky and other schools met in · the stiff competition.
Company B-1 Pershing Rifles and Honorary Cadet Captain Jeanne McLaughlin.Coached by Lt. -Col. D. R . Kerr and Sgt. Charles Monahan, the U. of D. rifle team busied itself shooting for postal matches for the greater part of the schoo l year . Six four -year men and 15 others combined to turn in scores which won them victories over many of the larger universities of the country.
Dayton entered three five-man teams in the William Randolph Hearst trophy match and one 15-man team in the Corps Area Intercolle giate match in whic h the Flyer shooters finished fourth behind Culver, Ohio State and Indiana.
Highest individual score turned in was Joe Andrasik's 370. In the prone shooting Bill Allen, Earl Wile y, Bill Buehrle, and Jack Ritter all shot perfect scores. Don Kersting's 99 was the highest sitting score, while Andrasik shot a 96 in the kneeling position and Buehrle shot an 86 in the standing position to record the top scores.
Cumulative averages for the year showed Andrasik in the l ead with 91.56, followed closely by Buehrle's 91.53. Other leaders in their order were Bernard Hollenkamp , Robert Stoecklein, and Don Kersting.
"U. D. Collegians," campus dance band, was organized this year by James Krumhansl, Cleveland, 0. senior. The orchestra, which consists of ten pieces, has played at various assemblies and presentations of the student body, including the dramatic club offerings and the annual Monogram Club musical show. Off-campus dance engagements for high school clubs and other Dayton groups were filled throughout the school year.
Members include: James Krumhansl, David Roland, Robert McKirnan, Joseph Murphy, saxophones; Ty Winter, Hugh Bunn, trumpets; John Glemet, piano; Don Althaus, drums; Harry Jerina, guitar; and Jacob Walther, bass.

From an insignificant beginning in 1904 when Bro. Louis Vogt, S.M., organized a 12-piece band, the University of Dayton band has expanded into its present 60-piece unit. Maurice Reichard has been director of the band since 1929 and has been responsible for its unique gridiron formations and annual concerts.
Tagged with the name "Flyers," the band has adopted as its specialty numerous airplane formations. Out in front of the unit this year was ace drum major, Robert Dawson, number three baton twirler in the country. Besides playing for all football games, the band entertained at basketball tilts and presented its annual concert in the N. C. R. auditorium.

Although the glee club was established in 1920 by Bro. Th omas Poit ra s, S.M., it was not until 1928 that the group presented it s first p u b li c concert. In 1931 Maurice Reichard, pre sent director, reorga n ize d the club . Through hi s direction the group became well kn own, singi ng over WLW and several local stations.
In 1936 still further recognition was given to the lo cal singers a s they e n tered into musical competition with nine oth er Ohi o colleges in the Ohio intercollegiate glee club conte st over station WEN S in Co lumbus. Each year the club adds to its pre stige and during th is past yea r mad e numerous local appearance s and broadcasts, be sides cooperat in g with the Monogram club in pre senting th e annual mu sical comedy.

With only thr ee years of organization behind it, this group began this year to se t traditions that will take concentrated effort to uphold. Mauri ce R.

March, "I Get Along Without You Very Well," "Deep Purple," and other popular tun es

Seventeen students, 15 men and two coeds, attained the coveted Alpha Sigma Tau honor key, indicative of a seven semester cumulative point hour ratio of 2.5 or more. The keys, awarded at a special convocation in March, attest to the intellectual ability of the university's "braintrusters," whose reports had been graced with A's and B's for the three and a half years. The 17 key men and women led in almost every campus activity, not being content to rest on their scho lastic laurels.

University of Dayton's athletic board has control over all matters concerning athletics at the school, such matters, however, being subject to the approval of the president.
The board consists of eleven individuals, five of whom are lay members. Bro. Jerome McAvoy, S.M., is chairman of the group and also served as president of the Buckeye Intercollegiate association this year.
Members of the board are Martin C. Kuntz, J. J. Hartnett, David H. Margolis, J. Ellis Mayl, Merle P. Smith, Jack R. Brown, Judge William H. Wolff, Bro. William A. Dapper, S.M., Bro. William J. Wohlleben~ S.M., and Bro. Francis J. Molz, S.M. Harry Baujan, athletic director, is an advisory member of the board.
Much that is complimentary has been and can still be said about Harry Baujan, athletic director of the ·university of Dayton. As head football coach he has elevated Dayton's position from that of a small, obscure school to that of 1938 co-champions in the Buckeye conference.
Harry is a coach that remembers the true value of athletics. To him it is not the winning of the game that is important, but the fact that the men on his teams and the students in back of them must learn the lesson that they should not be "quitters" or "poor sports" on the athletic field or in the battle of life.
