As
We
See it
WE REGRET to announce
that since we last went to
press “Dixie,” the faculty
watch dog, has ceased to function as
a dog of any kind. Be that as it
may, the worthy faculty members
have not rushed us with offers to
help out on the mascot problem.
Who’s going to raise that Lion?

new Bulletin Board in¬
side the lower hall is cer¬
tainly a big improvement. We
don’t know who is responsible, but
r accept our thanks just the same.
While on the subject of bulletin
board, it might be well to call at¬
tention to the space ' reserved for
Official notices. We may be misin¬
formed but just at present we are
not under the impression that this
space is for student notices. We
trust that in future the Frosh will
place 'their notes on the main por¬
tion of the board like the rest
of us.

ON OUR desk we have a com¬
munication which may or
may not have some bearing
on the use of our bulletin board. It
reads as follows.
“Dear Editor :
“Now that we have a bulletin
board I believe that I could suggest
a use for it. But first let me men¬
tion a few facts. According to the
basketball schedule printed in the
Loyolan, our varsity was sched¬
uled to tangle with Alhambra
A. ,C. on the night of January 19.
Several of us came, only to find
that the contest had been canceled
several days previous. It was only
by means of an unconfirmed rumor
that I learned of the Venice game
on January 28. At the same time
I was told that the Hollywood A.
C. game was off. Don’t you think
that it would be a great service to
the students i'f notice of all changes
and unexpected events would be
placed on the board.
“Yours for a better news . service.

ANOTHER correspondent be¬

various activities. He writes:
“Loyolan Editor:

of our publication, I think you
should do all in your power to com¬

Firemen Demonstrate
Extinguishers
At the assembly on January 17 a
very interesting and instructive talk
and demonstration was given the stu¬
dents by the Los Angeles Fire De¬
partment.
The purpose was to impress the
needs of fire prevention and prepared¬
ness upon the students. Slides were
shown and each one fully explained
by men who had actual contact with
the experiences shown. After the lec¬
ture there was a practical demonstra¬
tion of the proper use and efficiency
of fire extinguishers. The ordinary
kind of extinguisher was used on a
wood fire with quick, efficient results.
The Foamite type was played upon
an oil and gas fire with startling re¬
sults. The flaming youths were highly
impressed.

Loyola is proud in pay¬
ing tribute to our beloved
Bishop Cantwell, the cham¬
pion of higher education.
As the common father of
this important diocese he
has not failed to foster that
culture w h i c h alas ! is
frowned upon by many.
He has inspired Loyola to
greater efforts and pleaded
for her. In her he has re¬
posed an ardent hope for a
fine manhood to guard and
advance the Holy Church
of this Southland. Loyola
honors her Bishop, is proud
of her Champion, loves her
Father. Today at his feet
the men of Loyola pledge
their love, their strength,
their fidelity.
Bishop Calls Jesuit
School Alma Mater
Back in old Ireland in the fair city
of Limerick Bishop Cantwell made his
studies under the Jesuits. He went
through the same classes that we do
now at Loyola. It was here he mas¬
tered his Latin and Greek and laid
the foundations of that culture that
characterizes his daily utterances and
writings. The Fathers of the Society
of Jesus are proud of their eminent
student who deserves so well of
Holy Mother Church.
STUDENTS TO FLOCK
TO FRATERNITY JIG
Following the cycle o'f social
events, the Alpha Lambda Frater¬
nity will hold open house' at the
Diana Ballroom, on the evening of
February 26. in the form of a well-
planned dance.
The fraternity, very anxious of
bringing together the students of
Loyola and all their friends for an
evening of real entertainment, takes
this means of doing so. The plans,
under the direction of the entertain¬
ment committee, namely, Mr. Morris,
Mr. Sherwood and little “Gawky” Mc¬
Namara, assures everyone that this
evening will be crowded with novel
surprises.
The Diana Ballroom is situated in
a very ideal location, and for the
edification of the collegiate tahgoers,
they can satisfy to capacity their
rhythmic feet upon the well-seasoned
floor of this beautiful dance palace.
The merry music makers have not
been, seledted as yet, but everyone
can rest assured, that an orchestra
will be selected to correspond with
the magnificence of 'this ballroom.
The tickets will be off the press
in a short while and will be placed
on sale by all the members of the
Alpha Lambda at a very nominal
sum.
So brothers, students of Loyola
and all your friends (gals), do not
forget :
The Date — February 26.
The Time— 9 P. M.
The Place — Diana Ballroom.
The Gidas — $1.50 per couple.
BISHOP CANTWELL
VISITS LOYOLA
TODAY
The Right Rev. John J. Cantwell,
D.D., bishop of this diocese, will
visit Loyola today. Starting a;t 8:15
this morning his Lordship will pre¬
side over the meeting of the Oza-
nam Conference of the St. Vincent
de Paul Society. Following the
meeting he will review the R.
О.
T.
C. in the presence of 'the entire
student body. While all are as¬
sembled in the grandstand William
Scully, ’27. will welcome his Lord-
ship in behalf of the student body
Joseph Coughlin will do the honors
for the high school.
Those of us who have had the
pleasure of .listening to Bishop Cant¬
well address the student .body on
former occasions know what a treat
is in store for all when he takes
the stand.
If memory
„
serves us right, the
last time we were favored by a
visit from his Lordship was last
year at the ground breaking cere¬
monies.
As is well known the Bishop is
very interested in the education of
youth. This is evidenced by the
number of schools he has spnsored
since coming to Los Angeles and
by the interest he takes in Loyola.
All Loyola should be proud to do
honor >to our Shepherd.
Vincentians Assist
In Social Service
Bishop Cantwell is building ten new
centers for the stricken Mexicans. In
these he proposes to care for our
persecuted brethren from the south.
In these our religiou will be taught,
the sacraments received, masses said.
Here Loyola hopes to be of service
to His Lordship, in sending her Ven-
centians to teach, to manage, to
serve.

SIGMA PHI ZETAS
ELECT OFFICIALS
The Sigma Phi Zetas held their
elections at the meeting on Monday
night, January 31. Tom Dunnigan
of the Sophomore class was elected
to the presidency and will succeed
Jim Sullivan on the fraternity’s in¬
auguration day late in February.
Vince Blumberg was chosen as the
new vice-president, while Jim Sulli¬
van was appointed to watch over
the funds in the treasury. Carroll
O’Meara was elected to the capacity
of secretary and Clancy Furlopg
was re-elected inside guard.
Plans are being made for a fra¬
ternity dance to take place before
the arrival of Lent. A committee has
been appointed to make the arrange¬
ments for the affair which promises
to be ah enjoyable as well as a
memorable one. This dance will be
the Spring Informal. A formal
dance will be given by the Zetas
later in the season at a local club
and will be open for all those re¬
ceiving bids.
Vic Montgomery, a Zeta who has
been absent from meetings for over
a month, has returned to Loyola
after passing several weeks abroad.
The greatest part of his time in
Europe was spent in Rome where
he was Loyola’s representative 4 be¬
fore the Pope and was our legate
in the Pilgrimage to St. Aloysius’
tomb in the latter part of Decem¬
ber. His voyage was an interesting
as well as an important one. Vic
returned *to the fraternity with a
dandy collection of trophies from
Rome, Paris, Genoa and New York.
Feminine Characters

Support Needed
“Sick Abed,” presented by the
Dramatic Club of Loyola College
will open a four-day run at the
Gamut Club on Tuesday afternoon,
February 22. The evening perfor¬
mances will be on Wednesday, the
23rd; Thursday, the 24th, and Fri¬
day, the 25th.
The cast of the play has been
completed and they are now hard
at work under the capable direction
of Mr. Gill. The play should be one
of the best Loyola has ever presented.
It is a three-act farce comedy by
Ethel Watts Mumford. It has many
bright spots and no dull ones, and
presents many a laughable situation,
and moves rapidly throughout its
entire length.
Carlyle Sherwood ,as Reginald
Jay, plays the lead. He has all the
qualities that go to make up the
ideal leading man and we expect
much from him. Many a fair spec¬
tator’s heart will beat high with
glee when they see our own Shovel
in action. He has thrilled many by
his stellar performance on the grid¬
iron, but It is the writer’s opinion
that he will score a complete victory
in “Sick Abed.”
William Scully as Mr. Weems
plays the second lead. Bill looks
mighty good in the part. He has
the ability to portray perfectly the.
sophisticated capitalist, who does not
want his pretty young wife to di¬
vorce him.
Lane Gutherie will be seen as the
attorney for Mr. Weems. Lane has
the netessary qualifications -for a
good lawyer. We always said he
should be a lawyer, anyway. You
will say so, too, after you see him
in “Sick Abed.”
Tom Delaney, Loyola’s premier
character actor, will be seen at his
best. He portrays the part of a
Jap valet, and mixes comedy with

Fr. Cosgrave Takes
Final Vows
On February 2, the Feast of the
Purification, the altars of the new
Tudor Gothic Chapel were elegantly
decorated. This was occasioned by
the fact that Father John Cosgrave,
S.J., was about to take his final vows.
Father President read the mass at
6:30 a. m., being served by Joseph
Coughlin and Victor Roberts, both of
whom are pupils of Father Cosgrave.
Just after the consecration and be¬
fore the communion, Father Cos-
grane assended the altar steps and
made his vows while Father Sullivan
held the Sacred Host before him. The
majority of the members of Father
Cosgrave’s class attended and also
received Holy Communion.
