Hiyus Brave Elements;Celebrate AnniversaryOnLake Sammamish

(Reprinted from the HikingClub Annual,"HIYU COLE TEPEE TALKS")

Hiyu Cole is Siwash for "Much Walk". The Club, foundedon Washington's Birthday,1939, has lived up to its name. Ithas no meetings, nodues, no rules but IT DOES WALK. Itwalksin all kinds of weather,in all seasonsof the year.

Hiyu Cole didn't arrive the hard way for the Club was asuccess from thebeginning. On the firstouting four years ago,33 members took the Madison cable, transferred to Fauntle-royand then hiked 6 miles to Three Tree Point. The walkingwasn't the best, nor was the weather. But 33 more returnedfor the next outing, Medina to Summamish, a twenty milejaunt. There wereplenty of blistered feet and the success ofthe infant Club was jeopardized.

In one of the must impressiveceremonies that has ever takenplace at Seattle College, the localshapter of Alpha Sigma Nu, Na-tional Jesuit Collegiate Honorary,formally initiated ten pledgesWednesday night. The initiationwas held at the Y. 1.. I. ClubIlouse.

Following the initiation cere-monies the traditional PledgeBanquet was held with after-dinner shakers including theVery Reverend Leo R. Robinson,S. J.. head of the Jesuit OregonProvince; the Rev. Francis E,Corkery, S. J., president of Se-attle College; the Rev. GeraldBeezer, S. J.. and J. WilliamBates, president of Alpha SigmaNu.

Those initiated were < teneVoiland, Jim Layman, LeonSaver, John Ayres. !""rank Glassy,and fohn Daly. Senior studentsinitiated included Robert Swart.Jim Christiansen, Jim O'Brien,and John Read.

The initiates wre chosen on thebasis of scholarship, loyalty, andservice to the .College.

Tony Buhr, president of theA. S. S. C. and national viceroyof the I.K.'s. introduced the Rev.Francis Corkery, S. J., who gavea short talk in which he explainedthe placque and the reasons forits placement outside the doorofthe chapel. Ile urged all to re-member those named on theplacque in their prayers. Afterthe talk, Father Corkery read theformal dedication and blessing.

But two weeks later 65 crossed to Suquamish to spend theday at Edgewater Beach and from that time on nothing couldstop Hiyu. Fifty, fifty-three, fifty-four, sixty-five Hillbilliesjoined on the next four hikes and the year closed with 24 en-joying the climax of the hiking season with anover night tripto Goldmyer Hot Springs in the Cascades.

On Hiyu's first birthday 130 hikers joinedin the Celebra-tion held at Edgewater Beach near Agate Pass across theSound. This was the 19th outing of the club. On this occa-sion the gang forsook the mountain trails for the comfort of alodge, exchanged questionable coffee and a sandwich, for adelicious spaghetti dinner topped off with ice cream and cake.

Hiyu, at the tender age of one, had already learned towalk,and the early promise of growing up to be a husky hasbeen abundantly fulfilled.

Asall other pre-1.cut dates aretaken up, the Gavel Club has geu-erously consented to call off itsSt. Patrick's Day Skating partyand has conceded that date to theIntercollegiate Knights. Thiswas done in view of the fact thatthe Knights have not engaged inany other money-making activitythis year and that the C.avel Clubwas reimbursed by the facultyfor tin- money it spent for tro-phic.

We Hate the Spectator

Apologia ProWest Seattle

For years there has been a de-cided, deliberate undercurrent ofsnide and derogatory remarksrunning in the time-honored"Spectator" wherein God's coun-try. West Seattle, has horn thebrunt.

When .me >tops to considerthat one-fifth of the studentback-bone and 99 2-3 \k-v cent of thestudent brains hail from the"backwoods." the "wilds," itmakes the present situation evenmore deplorable. We of WestSeattle resent the attitude adopt-ed by the College painr, whichshould be our paper as much, ifnot more, than that of the resi-dents of Capitol Hill. OueenAnne and Beacon Hills.

Why must we he perpetuallyclassified as dregs of college cul-ture and continually relegated tothe background as scum by the"Spectator"? Do the above fig-gures not defend us? Why mustwe hear the burns of scorchingcomments made by amateur jour-nalists who make us, in their ig-norance, the target for all theirtall tales? We may be descen-dants of Indians but you. whoclaim Puritan grandparentage,have a fifty-fifty chance of beingthe direct descendants of no oneless than full-fledged jailbirds.WE are the Americans.

Looking back over the moreillustrious alumni of the College,we find that (/) per cent of saidalumni for four years took twohours and 20 minutes ;\.' day totravel to this Colleg) stuck inthe middle of nowhere. We WestSeattleites get our education thehard way as did our predecessors,and our spirit of loyalty is asprofuse as theirs. Is this sacredheritage to be slandered andshredded by ' >UR College paper?And do not the above figuresdispel! any misapprehensions theeditors may have harbored withregard to the force behind thisrebuttal?

isn't it?

ByTEDMITCHELL

"Sound Off" sounded off inall directions at the Metropoli-tan last Saturday andSunday andwill blow the bugles again to-morrow and the next day at theMoore. To those who haven'tseen it. a word of broken-downadvice: It is a darn good showand for a good cause, too

—see

it if you can.In our mind the top of the

revue, which reaches Broadwaystandards nearly all the waythrough, is I'fc. Wallv Chulick,

co-author and mainstay of theballet moose. Besides providingthe hilarious Veronica, who doesa most disillusioning strip-tease,he handles an Indian monologuein an exceptionally professionalmanner. And small wonder forhe was a professional"before hewas caught in the draft.

There are many fine acts, in-cluding Sgt. Clay Mooney andhis double talking story of LittleRed RidingMood. It seems thattwo recruits won't go to sleepunless the Sarge tells them astory, so this character comesout in bright red silk pajamas,with white sergeant stripes, andtells them about the wolf whotries to fool "little wed ridinghabit-er;rittle hod roodingbag—the little girl." Then at everypossible occasion I'fc. Don Ulan-chard comes before the curtain,and plays everything withstrings.Ile is really phenomenonal on theelectric guitar and even makes apossible "Old Gray Mare" comefrom two tin cans with a wirebetween.

The show boasts many old-timeprofessionals, among which isI'vt. foe I.cc. Negro trumpeteerand .singer. The Army of theUnited States should be very gladthathe brought his horn with him.After appearing for years in theBlack and Tan Revue and inEastern night dubs as a solo,he lends a lot of life and drivetn the revue. I'vt. Joe Ilean pre-sents some accomplished imita-tion of celebrities, including oneof !"". I). R. which should eitherput him in prison or the WhiteIlouse, it's that good.

Even in its comparative seriousmoments the soldier show isworthwhile. Sgt. Ifarry Shub,

an excellent violinist, plays abeautiful Ave Maria. And theoriginal ballad, "As Real as aSoldier's Dream," should beheard mi the air, as it probablywill.

A success story that will make Horatio Alger look to hislaurels is the personaland professionalhistory of two of thiscountry's nicest people: Marian and Jim Jordan. This grandCatholic pair,devoted to each other now when they are on topno less than when they wereplaying the tank towns in a sec-ond rate vaudeville circuit,have comea long way up the trailof success and the trip up dizzied neither of them. Generous,human, warmand sincere, the Jordans are all that their twochildren could ask.

Professionally, of course, the Jordans are knows the lengthand breadth of this continent as Fibber McGee and Molly. Thepair started on radio some six years ago with an afternoonshow. As their popularity increased, they were given betterand better spots until finally, they hit the top rung and swunginto an evening program \v|th a big national sponsor. Theirstyle has.been varied very little in all these years. Don Quinn,who writes most of their stuff, has found that the fans likeFibber to be a little lazy,a weebit of a truth-stretcher, and anall-round down-to-earth Molly provides suitable contrastby doing all of the worrying for the family and taking care ofthe moremundane matters.

The Little Girl who appears on their program every weekis, of course, Molly. Ihad the privilege of watching one of theMcGee broadcasts, and it was worfh^ie trip south to see hertake the part of this precocious wisp who continues with greatsuccess to make a monkey of Fibber. Another top characteri-zation (or group of characterizations) is turned in by BillThompson. Thompson portrays Wallace Wimple, Horatio K.Boomer, and the Old-Timer. He recently made a P.A. in Chi-cago, a sure sign that 'ere long, he'll be out on his own. Hehas a worthy predecessor in the Great Gildersleeve, now onhis own Sunday night show, who broke into the big time withthe Jordans.

On the best night of the week for comedy, Tuesday, youcan always catch clean, human, rib-tickling humor by dialingyour favorite NBC station at 6:30, There is probably no onein my clientele who has yet to hear Fibber McGee and Molly,but if cue therebe, don't miss them next week.

Wireless Wanderings: After the pleasure he handed thisreviewer, among the millions of people who laughed withhim last Friday night, it is with genuine regret that we notethe death of Jimmy Durante's wife .... After calumniatingtheir build-up methods, it is only right that Iadmit that thebest tunes of all really did go to Carnegie Hall on the muchballyhood programFriday. The show is composed of all thetop tunes of former Hit Parades ...For afternoon relaxationvia the radio, try Easy Aces. The programhas been runningas long asIcan remember and it is always funny, the humourstemming mainly from the malapropism of Mrs. Ace ...

The scene was es-pecially dishearteningin the lightof a recent visit to the I. of \\.library. Nearly every table wastaken up with students, and noneof them were day dreaming. SCstudents should become alive toone of the school's most impor-tant facilities. \ot only does ourlibran have the usual studyhelps, which svery library al-fords, but its excelelnt black wal-nut fixtures, and perfect light-ing make it one of the best placesto study in town.

A surprising trend in schoollife lately has been the definiteupswing in school spirit. Caughtas we are in a deadly crossfirebetween the army onone sideandwar industries on the other, itwas thought by those who thinkthat the vitality of shcool spiritwould progress inversely as thelength of the war. However,theory again plays the fool tofact, as SC continues to beliethese conclusions. The turnoutat the Sodality is bigger thanever,and most other clubs reix>rta similar experience. At the last( ravel Club meeting, all but fourof the regularmembers werepre-sent, besides several newcomersand visitors. The HomecomingDance this year was as good asit ever was in peacetime, and theopen house was the best ever.This year the Spectator has beenvery irregular in its regularity ;it has appeared every week with-out fail, something which it hasnot done for several yeai;s, ifever. These facts are a wonder-ful commentary on the ability ofCatholic students to face anemergency, and are certainly in-dicative of an improvement inschool spirit, rather than a slack-ening. l!ut perhaps the studentsof Seattle College are finally be-ginning to grasp the true mean-ing of school spirit. For us,

school activities are not just ameans of getting our names inprint, or of merely gaining expe-rience. Although these are in-centives, there is a deeper, moreconcrete reason, ltecau.se for usCatholic students, school spirit isreligion, If we can better pub-licize the school by our activities;if by extending ourselves occa-sionally we can extend the repu-tation of Seattle College; if wecan show the world that the faithof Catholic Youth is not crum-bling,but is more vital than ever,

then, indeed, our energies arewell spent. Here is the true in-centive for our school spirit!Here is tin- real Catholic Action!And if the students of SeattleCollege have awakened to thisfact, then new horizons are openfor us, and no one need worryabout the future of Catholichigh-er education.

As February is Catholic pressmonth, let us all take upon our-selves the responsibility of in-creasing the influence of ourpress tn whatever extent our ca-pacities and time may allow. Be-gin iii yourself. By reading theProgress you will not only be-come acquainted with the variousactivities in Catholic circles, butyou will become familiar with theCatholic viewpoint on present sorial and political problems. Thisis particularly important today,when hafrbrained reasoning isrampant, and so many vital is-sues arc being acted upon.

when the Freshmen mixed withthe upperclassmen in a rousingbasketball game which saw thegreaterheight and su|>eriorhack-boardplaying of the Frosh keep-ing pace with the more skillfulshootingof the Seniors until thesecond half, when things startedpopping and the Frosh wentdown to a 15 to 7 defeat.

Half time found the local box-ing talent, coached by FreddieFoss, engaged in explosive exhi-bitions of the art of fisticuffs ala Queensbury. Roland Leadondisplayed a pretty fair left hook,which was offset by Phil Beg-lan's counterpunching. RadMitchell, recently transferredfrom C. \V.. and Dick McGuireshowed skill in exchangingpunches in one of the two bestof the evening's exhibitions. IraMcAtee and Bernie Seifner con-tributed a lively exhibition ofpunching with a minimum ofboxing; and John Ayres and EdRead* displayed skill in oppositeboxing techniques, with Ayresboxing consistently but lightly,while Read landed several solidleft jabs, though in neither casewas any damage done.

See where Ihave anew bossthis week. Gene Brown, O'-Dea "42, is the present SportsEditor. The last two times Isaw Gene he reminded me thatmy column wasdue. The timebefi re that 1 saw him usinghis .nor voice to good advan-tage ;n the ODea rooting sec-tion when the Irish whoppedthe Panthers. Any subtle O'-Dea propaganda by Gene willbe counterbalanced in thiscolumn.
