THURSDAY, November 11, 1937 Homecoming Looks Ahead T HE glory of Marquette rings out in enthusiastic ahoyas, the "good old days" arise out of the undimmed past to stalk through the speech and actions of re-united graduates, the surge of school spir- it reaches a peak in undergraduate minds, and Marquette's Homecoming of 1937 has arrived. As part of the festivities the 20th anniversary of the victorious 1917 Golden Avalanche will be celebrated with a re-union of the spirited Marquette heroes who made up that team. We pause to salute that group of athletes who went through the wartime season without defeat, suffering one tie in heartbreaking circumstances, who amassed 348 points while limiting their opponents to 7. One of Marquette's truly great elevens, the 1917 team has earned our plaudits. The benefit of Homecoming to Marquette lies in re-union, the re-knitting of the bonds uniting the graduate with his alma mater. For Marquette is not only a collection of students at present striving for greater, truer knowledge, but rather a grand collection of all those who have ever been taught in its halls, who have absorbed some of the ideals and ideas for which Marquette stands and which make it great. At Homecoming longing looks are cast backward into the realm of what once was. But the true purpose of re-union would be better served if more looking forward were done. Marquette is not perfect. It has crying needs, just as any institution which has attained a place of prominence among the leaders in its class and intends to maintain its standing. To meet the growing requirements and heightening standards of a leading university, Marquette must constantly improve and expand. The best and only way to accomplish this is to effect a more unified Marquette, a Marquette that at Homecoming re-unions looks forward rather than backward. Managing Editor a Editor . . cup Editor . News Editor . . Desk Editor . Copy Desk . . November A Pause for Reflection J UST 19 years ago today men crept tired and weary out of the trenches. They were free men again, no longer a mechanized unit of a destructive machine. Today we pause and pay tribute to the numberless dead. No tribute that a humble man can offer is capable of expressing the honor due these idealistic men who died "to save the world for democracy." Unfortunately, they were idealistic and as idealists they believed that everyone else shared their beliefs. If we look at the world today, it appears that they died in vain championing a cause which was originated to bolster the Allies' morale and to bait the United States into war and not "to end all wars." Power-hungry men have capitalized on' man's idealistic nature. Dictators with their nationalistic jingoism have turned Europe into a powder keg. The Far Eastern crisis was born out of an imperialistic appetite which it appears will never be satisfied. At present the outlook for lasting peace in the world is anything but optimisitc. American youth, faced with supporting two alternative policies-isolation or international cooperation-is confused. Desiring peace they are presented with a dilemma, for there is a price to be paid for peace as well as for war. Today, Armistic day, is a time for youth to reflect on this problem. An idealistic attitude is no solution. Emotional Pageantry A KALEIDOSCOPE of color, an anvil chorus in the heart of man, a glowing spark, ever-increasing until it blazes -"The Restless Flame!" Pageantry at its greatest height, brighter than a burning cify on a mountain top. The "Restless Flame" will never die! The flame of adventure set forth in the "Restless Flame" portrays the transformation of base oil into a jrnre, clean oil which feeds the flame in the unhidden light of Christ. Each scene scintillates with the spirit of the flame. The realistic yet novel living scenery lent a background of color to the pageant and the appropriate music was a revelation in its entirety. The audience was held in awe at the magnanimity of the production. At first they were afraid; then they were swayed from their unknowingness into a spirit of happy enlightenment. They had felt the everpresent flame of restlessness. The production was refreshingly far restrained from the blase interpretations of the present era. It was soothingly original and served as an incentive to mankind. To say that the pageant was merely colossal, gigantic and stupendous would be trite and commonplace. The "Restless Flame" is that unfathomable feeling which cannot be grasped by any language-it is realized only in the sensual emotions of man.-J.N. 10- Years Ago From the Tribune This Week in November of the Year 1927 rECENT trans-Atlantic flights had a 1^ marked effect on parade ideas of departments and fraternities" in the seventh annual homecoming celebration. Reports indicated that "thousands of alumni and students marched through the downtown section of Milwaukee with gaily decorated floats Friday night, and gathered later for a giant pep rally and bonfire." The Arcadia ballroom was the scene of the general dance, and a "special and newly introduced event for alumni" was the dinner- dance held at the Wisconsin club. The award for the best departmental float was given to the School of Medicine, which depicted the sending of the Grinnell college jinx to the inferno with the slogan "To Hell With the Jinx." Kappa Beta Gamma won the intersorority cup with its float. Swede Gebert, a Hilltop immortal, led the way to the Marquette 31-0 victory over Grinnell. The first observation of Dads' day was set in connection with the Marquette-Holy Cross game on Saturday, November 12, by two engineering fraternities. Gamma Theta Pi and Omega Sigma Phi made separate arrangements that included a luncheon, the football game and a banquet at the Stratford Arms hotel. The Rev. Albert C. Fox, S.J., spoke on the subject "My Dad." Around the Campus Diary: Up early and to school to meet with the dean who was desirous of seeing your humble servant. A pleasant 10 minute chat and then to work on this. My mind hits a doldrum qnd I struggle to make sense out of no sense (nonsense). Meeting with Mary Bernarda Barry who offers no succor whatsoever. So I am left to the mercy of my own mind (not that I mind), but I still discover no dope. With a flounce of my coat I twirl into the pressroom and sit me down to await inspiration. (Maybe a shot in the arm will help.) Encounter with Boss McCahill, our Sea Scout Editor, but he has no tidbits for me and so I repair to the Apothecary where I learn less than nothing. However, I find that the back booth has become a habitat for "Casey" Kass. Lorraine Zimmer also is seen in the drug store at times. I do call for a wake-me-up, but fall asleep before it arives. Dream that Dorothy Holcombe is queen of the Homecoming and awake to discover that Herb McCormack is matching pennies with Master Schewe. See "Date Bureau" Mokelke of the Engineers and observe a beauty of a bruised optic. Lapse into a half hour of ponderous thought on the possibility of his being in an encounter of fisticuffs. Receive information that Marney McGillivray, Mount Mary flower, obtained 19 dates for the Engineers last week. Why can't they get dates with some of the gals from school? Conceive the idea of a swell combination: Langer, official polisher, doing the Big Apple, and then a new combination, Coneen and Johnson. Homecoming Queen Rita Gibbons is passing out free tickets for the "Restless Flame." Incidentally, she is still receiving votes from her relatives. Howie Paul, once more able Skipper of the neighbor colyum, is seriously thinking of taking Davey Jones in hand and teaching her the finer points of humor writing. Serious Stuff: Pat Welch is carting a "charm mag" around with her. Dave Waisman, rassler, won't be back to defend his crown this year. "I got too many social obligations," asserts the manhandler. Hesik feels like a guardian angel to Jane Sterling, he says . . . The Phi Chi Psi informal dinner dance will be held at the Schroeder in the Green room, Saturday, Nov. 13. It will be the biggest event of the year so far and bids are at a premium. Wonder if Herb Dunk will come in a truck? Flashes on the "Resless Flame:" Mary Logan as "LOVE" is highly convincing. She even had her costume picture taken for Life. Watch the circulation soar . . . Allan Haas, as valuable checker backstage, is accumulating quite a collection of combs, compacts, handkerchiefs, etc. (With Christmas right around the corner, too.) . . . Pat Welsh and Peg Tanner do a return to the native skins and all . . . Ed Burke and Leo Williams enliven the lighter moments of relaxation backstage with expert lessons in the "Zusy Q" . . , Willie Hughes, as an Injun warrior, does a Big Apple in its original state . . . Doc Lamers, ala Hannibal the Tent Maker, counts sheckels with a verve and abandon worthy of a true Shylock . . . Mark O'Meara gives a realistic impersonation of a M. U. "Stewed Student" after his team has won the Homecoming game . . . Why pick on two such lovely girls as Ruth Kane and Eileen Jordan to portray a couple of bats? . . . And the EnGINeers even cheer in the mob scenes. And after this I'll probably be sent to bed. Fatball Dopes-Wonder why Red Dunn compares Fullbacks Koster and Busch to ballet dancers? . . . why Paddy Driscoll blushes like a girl when introduced to one? ... If Braden and Burke, also football grates, insist on letting their hirsute herbiage grow until they win a game they will trip on them along about 1940. Precedent was blasted to bits on the Hilltop this week. E. Gaius Johannes, a Bus. Ad. junior, was elected first alternate vice president in the senior Journalism election . . . and then it seems that Stroub of the Law school still does his duck hunting on the weekend nights and at Green Bay, too. Night flying duckes, eh! Good night all. "CANDID" JOHNSON "Tallfellow" Johnson Alowishus Q. McSchimmelphennig
