The affair will be strictly formal,
and the elaborate scale on which it is
being planned will be enhanced even
more by the fact that it will be the
first college function to be staged at
the Mark Hopkins, the newest and one
of the most beautiful of San Francisco's hotels.

College student body, and chairman of
the dance committee, has announced
that bids for the affair may be secured

FR. SULLIVAN TO TACOMA
Rev. Dennis Sullivan, Professor at
St. Ignatius from 1921 to 1922, has
been transferred from Woodstock,
Md., to Tacoma, Wash. Father Sullivan will best be remembered as
Moderator of Athletics during the
famous basketball seasons when "Imp"
Begley was the star forward of the
Pacific  Coast.
Jim   Smyth
he
Jim Smyth, whom we sent to Rome
last month as our representative at
the Aloysian convention, and Vin
Casey, the High
School delegate,
must be leading
the "Life of
Reilly" while they
are away.
We arc in receipt of a letter
from Father William I. Lonergan,
S.J., associate editor of "America."
and from the way
describes the treatment the boys
received in Washington and New
York, their itinerary is one round of
entertainment.
Stop the Show
O course we knew that "Buzz" Ker-
ner, Tom Butler and our own student
body president would sec to it that
they wouldn't miss anything, but we
never guessed that they would stop a
show, and a Broadway musical comedy
at that. But according to Father
Lonergan, that's just what they did.
We quote from his letter;— "Once
more Giannini was host. The fellows
had four boxes. The show was a
Broadway musical comedy, 'reputable'
as the shows along Broadway go, and
the boys all said they enjoyed it. Of
course the management knew who
had the boxes, and Eddie Dowling, the
star, didn't let the opportunity for a
little publicity slip by. At the end of
the first act he came out and told the
audience that the boxes were occupied
by a bunch of wild and woolies, etc.,
and he singled out the Indian lad
from Gonzaga as 'one of the real
Indians in the Northwest with royal
blood in his veins, etc' The boys got
a hand from the house."

Captain; Loyalty Medal
Given Dan Murphy
Tom Carothers was elected captain
of the 1927 varsity, Dan Murphy
was named the most inspirational
player on the 1926 team and St. Ignatius was admitted to the Far Western Conference all on the same day,
Saturday, December 12.
FIRST PUBLIC
DISCUSSION ON
"MIRACLE"
Will    Head   New
Organization
Dean Flynn's original plan for the
establishment of a literary society in
the College of Arts and Sciences has
developed into a full grown honor
fraternity, and the Kappa Lambda Sig-
mas will hold their first public function
on the evening of January 15 in the
K. C. Auditorium with a discussion of
the far-famed "Miracle" play.
Dan  Murphy
Carothers and Murphy were honored
at what John Rudden, football im-
presaric and toastmaster of the annual
football banquet, called a "gastrom-
omic carnival", held at the Commercial
Club on top of the Merchants' Exchange building. The entire college
was honored by admittance to the
smaller college loop at the St. Francis
Hotel.
The varsity men retired from the
banquet room to elect the 1927 captain
and to the non-voting diners it seemed
that primaries were being held over
the name of every member of the
squad. When the electors returned
it was announced that Tom "Soup"
had been the unanimous choice of
the football people. Tom responded
with a short speech, but he didn't
utter sweet nothings.
Talks  Out of  Turn
Dan Murphy almost talked himself
out of the inspirational medal, donated
by William Boyle, a St. Ignatius
graduate and at present a practicing
attorney in Nevada. When Toast-

Harold   Haley
The secretary of the organization,
Ray Sullivan of the junior class, has
announced that the fraternity has
selected Hal Haley, president of the
class of '27, as its chief officer, and
that he will be assisted in his executive duties by John Rudden and Frank
Collins, also seniors. He also announced that the fraternity's activities
would be of an essentially literary
character,  aiming  especially  at  an   in-

CHANGE IN SCHEDULE
Hereafter the Freshman class, instead of being designated "Fresh A"
and "Fresh B," will be divided according to the degree they are working
for. This regulation will affect chiefly
the classes of English. English 1 and
English 2 will be taught the students
of Commerce and Finance at 8:10
A.M.  instead of  11  A.M.  as  formerly.
