Reprint Prom The Milwaukee Journal Vocalists Mary Ann Naessle (top), Pat DeWane (center) and Harriette Szaulewicz (bottom) are three members of the Marquette Chorus final meeting of the year on Monday, May 22. The new members are: Anthony Siniscalchi, John Thanos, Joseph Hurka and Anthony Dali. Alpha Gamma Phi The social season of Alpha Gamma Phi social fraternity was fittingly closed with a spring formal dinner dance held Saturday night, May 13, at the Astor hotel. Chairman Jim Moriarity was assisted by a commit- tee of Bill Burke and Earl McEssy. Hilltop Damon and Pythias End Colorful M. U. Careers By DOROTHY WITTE Folding the Blue and Gold banners they have long borne to victory, Ralph Houseman and Howard Raether retire at last from Marquette's far-flung forensic front. The tale of their prowess reads like a saga of success and friendship knit close by experience shared and honors divided over five colorful years. Fatal in forensic fray they were indeed and many bright bouquets fell to each. The redoubtable debaters often made the campus resound to clash of words and wits. And as volley on volley of argument shook the countryside, reports did reach their campus clans of ventures bold and brilliant, when the keen lances of their wit did rout and redden the enemy. Eighty-Sfx Debates Since their first intercollegiate de- bate together in January, 1935, against Carroll college, the titanic twosome has been Marquette's num- ber one Damon and Pythias combina- tion. The lanky Houseman and not-so- lanky Raether saw 86 intercollegiate debates, more than any other team in the history of Marquette. Of these, 34 were won, eight were lost, and the rest were non-decision. One hundred cities in 18 states were visited by the pair, from Kansas and Nebraska to the east coast and south to Tennessee. Including band trips, with Raether as drum major and Houseman as field an- nouncer, they traveled 25,000 miles together-and never missed a train. The legend of their inseparability is one that has grown steadily with the years. They belong to the same fraternities: Theta Rho, Delta Sigma Rho, Sigma Nu Phi and Alpha Sigma Nu. They like the same sports- basketball, volleyball. Summers to- gether at the lake testify that their friendship is more than one of de- bating expedience. Cheer Each Other On When Houseman placed second in the national Delta Sigma Rho pub- lic discussion, Raether was rooting on the sidelines. And when Raether won the state peace contest, Ralph seconded him. And so it was when they lectured on the General Motors promotion staff, the Milwaukee Electric company promotion staff and home shows. Graduating from the law school at 22, they look back with the greatest pleasure to their undefeated status at the national Delta Sigma Rho debate tournament, when they downed Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Purdue. They have never lost to Wisconsin or Northwestern. Our best debate during five years was against Fordham university, Feb. 9, before a group of 500 in the Bronx, Raether reminisces. Houseman remarks that the ex- perience he will remember a long, long time was the stunning sensation of running out of money in Bloomington, Ind. If the Indiana Central School of Law had. not sent $10 and an invitation to debate, the intrepid pair might be there yet, walking the streets and wondering what the score was. And will the epic end at gradu- ation, when law books are closed and caps and gowns folded away with memories? Not if we can help it, Raether remarks. We have visions of a shin- gle bearing a shining legend, 'Raether and Houseman, attorneys at law.' Houseman and Raether, comes the gentle correction. June Graduates!

Wells St. Ma. 2582 Free Placement Service Students Turn To Varied Occupations for Summer By EDITH MULCAHY No more pencils, no more books- Vacation is rounding the corner and all is over but the cheering-or the sobbing. Some Marquetters will spend the vacation lolling on the beaches. Others will have their work cut out for them when their grades come in and they find that Summer School goes on the must list. How- ever, the majority of the students will spend the summer months do- ing work of some sort. One sophomore Journalist, Helen Jankowski, will open and manage her own hot dog stand in Green Lake, Wis. This stand, for the bene- fit of the summer resorters, will sell neither hamburgers nor malted milk Bravado! Nurses Brave Exam Terror With Dance; Have Success Marquette nurses, who had the bravado to hold a dance in the midst of final exams, are now confident that they are psychologists as well as nurses. It was no strategy on their part, but merely chance that placed the date of the May Ball-their first all- University dance-on Friday, May 19. But it was psychology to leave the date stand. The Elizabethan room of the Milwaukee Athletic club was well filled by the usual time for dances to be well filled, and by 12 p.m., couples were reluctant to leave Raye Block's music. The Premiere May Ball, the last dance of the school year, was in charge of Katherine Doherty, senior nurse, and her committee composed of nursing students from each class. The others were: Thana Blanc, Annette Tallman, Marie Claire Sullivan, Mary Healy and Elizabeth Jesse. Professors Trade Jobs And Homes for Summer Old-fashioned horse-trading has nothing on the swap to be effected this summer by two professors at Marquette university and the University of Tennessee. They will trade both jobs and homes. Prof. Leo A. Schmidt of the fac- ulty of the Marquette College of Business Administration was lured by TVA activities and the Great Smokies to seek a summer teaching assignment at the University of Tennessee. Wisconsin lakes and climate looked good to Prof. Harvey G. Meyer of the Knoxville school. So Profs. Schmidt and Meyer got together on an exchange basis. The Marquette man will teach in the summer session at the University of Tennessee and the Schmidts will live in the Meyer home. The southern professor will conduct classes at Mar- quette and he and his family will turn the key to the Schmidt home at 8235 Gridley ave., Wauwatosa. Both men are professors of ac- counting. The Hilltop summer ses- sion will open on June 26. BOEHM BINDERY CO. 104 EAST MASON ST. Binders to the University M. F. PATTERSON DENTAL SUPPLY CO. OF WISCONSIN 4007 Plankinton Bldg.
