FRESHMAN CLASS WELL
REPRESENTED IN
THE SODALITY
Since the organization of the Sodality,
the Freshmen have shown their interest,
not only by their large number of repre-
sentatives, but also by their eagerness to
work, and the manner in which they dis-
charge the duties assigned to them.
The representation from the First Year
Class constitutes nearly half the total
membership in the organization. Not only
this, the Freshies have averaged practically
one hundred per-cent, for attendance, since
the formation of the Sodality. And the
prospects for future attendance are also
very good, for the members have all
pledged themselves to be present at every
meeting until the end of the school year.
Of the four officers elected to take charge
of the Sodality, two are members of the
Freshman Class. They are Air. J. C. Cain,
secretary; and Mr. Thomas Liberto, trea-
surer. These young men will surely do all
in their power to promote the interests of
the Society, and, bring great honor for
their class in spiritual activities.

FRESHMAN GAINS RECOG
NITION
RADIO EXPERTS*, CONDUCTS SCHOOL
OF THE AIR
Edward G. Conroy, a Freshman at St.
Mary’s College, gave numerous talks on
radio and electricity over W C A R, the
broadcasting station of the San Antonio
Light Publishing Co.
Air. Conroy has a transmitting set of
his own, which he has operated in the past,
but this is the first time he has been
brought before the pubic in this manner.
The Light' took advantage of his exhaust-
ing knowledge of the matter of radio and
electricity, and his close association with
the radio amateurs of San Antonio and
vicinity.
Besides inaugurating The Light’s School
of the Air, Air. Conroy is the city manager
of the American Radio Relay League and
the president of the Bexar County Radio
Association.
HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN
CLASS
The Freshman Class of St. Mary’s College
was organized in November, 1925, with a
total of 42 members. No immediate steps
were taken to organize the class at the
beginning of the Scholasts year, in view of
the fact that its members were not suffi-
ciently acquainted.

Since their organization, Freshmen have
been closely identified with St. Mary’s
athletics playing a big part in the Rattlers
Football Squad, lending enthusiastic sup-
port in every game. Freshmen featured
importantly on the basketball team, mani-
festing the enthusiastic, “go-getting” spirit
of the Class.
Nor have their activities been confined
to athletics. Their talented debaters are
a boast to the world.
Committees have been appointed to lead
the class activities — social, debating and
financial.
The Freshman motto is “Boost St.
Mary’s” and with the close co-operation
which is the watchward of every member,
great things are sure to be done—establish-
ing an unbeatable precedent in the history
of St. Mary’s.

SOCIAL ACTIVITIES OF THE
CLASS
The Social Committee of the Freshman
Class has hinted many pleasant hours of
amtisement for the future. In view of the
fact that the time left before Lent is very
short, nothing will be attempted until after
Easter.
With a committee composed of such men
as Air. J. Kuntz, chairman, Mr. O. Ortiz,
and Mr. A. Preston, we may rest assured
that should their plans mature, a social
precedent will be established which will
be hard to beat.
BRO. PETER SCHLITT SENT TO
MARYHURST NORMAL,
KIRKWOOD, MO.
Brother Peter Schlitt, popular English
Professor of the College Department, left
Friday morning, Fbruary 5th, for Kirk-
wood, Alissouri, to assume the duties of
professor at Maryhurst Normal.
Bro. Peter was summoned by the very
Reverend Father Provincial, Louis A.
Tragesser in the latter part of last week.
So sudden was the decision, that Bro.
Peter had but one day to conclude his
affairs here and to get his things ready
for the trip. At present, it is not know
how long he will be away from the College,
but he expressed himself that he may be
gone but a few weeks. However this is
not definit information, and it is quite
possible that he may not return to this
institution any more this year.
Bro. Peter said that he has been absent
from the Normal School for nearly twenty-
one years. Since he left there, he has
taught in several of the Brother’s schools
here in Texas. For several years he
taught at the Acadmy of St. Mary’s
College situated on College Street. From
there he was tranfered to the College de-
partment at West End.
During his stay at S. M. C. he has
taught practically every subject that is on
the schedule. At the time that he was
transfered, he was Vice-president of this
institution.
We are very sorry that Bro. Peter has
been taken from our faculty for he has
ben a true friend and teachr to us. We
wish him the best of success.

Bro. Thomas Treadway, assistant man-
ger of the sports at St. Alarys, has been
appointed to fill the vacantcy as professor
of English, left by Bro. Peter Schlitt.
Bro. Tom, as he is known about the
Campus, is very popular with the students.
He was but recently transfered from Me
Bride High School, where he had been
stationed for the past three years.
Bro. Tom has taught English for sev-
eral years in northern universities. We
welcome him as our new professor, and
promise to cooperate with him where ever
we can.
