This will be the last issue of this magazine that will appear in the Spring Semester of 1939. The contributors to this edition are heavy, as all of them are most capable writers. It is promised that this edition will be one of outstanding value. Berti Writes Professor Russell Berti of this University will conclude his History of the Dons. The first part of this most interesting article appeared in the last publication. All of the readers are anxious to continue with their readings on this subject. The History of the Dons from the University of San Francisco is brought up to date in this latest publication. Jack O'Rourke, who is always a contributor to this magazine, is again on hand with an article on the "Right to Strike." O'Rourke has spent a great deal of time in the writing of this article, and it will be of great interest to all its readers. Football Story In this edition, the football mentor of this University has written an extremely interesting article to all football fans. It is based on his famous phrase, "It's all in the mind." This article by George Malley discusses the different football teams of this country and his opinion of the great American game. The students and readers of the Quarterly are warned to pay special attention to this article, as it is unique in its scope. Jim Mace, the philosophical senior, has also added his contribution to the success of the San Francisco Quarterly by writing an article of interest to all on "The Skid Row." Other contributors to this publication of the Quarterly include such prominent writers as Ed Boessenecker, Frank Courtney, Joe Haughey and many other students of the University.

USF Council to Fete Graduates USF Council No. 77, Y. M. I., will fete graduating seniors at a banquet during Commencement Week, if tentative plans are completed. As yet no place has been selected for the affair. Council heads said. The banquet is intended as the first of a series of annual affairs to be held in honor of USF graduating classes, and is in line with the Council's policy of working for the Hilltop school, according to Peter Sexton, their representative here. The USF Council also donated the medals awarded to winners in the President's Day events, and is responsible for« other awards given here annuallv. New Officers to Be Installed Monday Inauguration Ceremonies Will Be Held at 11 a. m. In Auditorium Next Monday morning will mark another inauguration in the history of the University of San Francisco. The newly elected members of this university will be sworn into their respective offices, and the outgoing members will vacate their posts. Frank Lawson, who is the choice of the students for the office of president of the Associated Students, will be sworn into office. The outgoing president, Pete Sexton, will bow to his successor, as is traditional. Phil Hanley, who was elected by an almost unanimous vote of the students to the office of vice-president, will assume the duties and office that will be vacated by Jim Madden. Although the office of vice-president seems to be overshadowed by that of the president, it is the vice-president who assumes on his shoulders all of the duties that are brought about by the staging of the pregame rallies. This in itself is a momentous task. Spearman Wins Trude Spearman, the Don grid- man, is the choice of the students to take over the duties of the present outgoing secretary, Bill Carberry, having defeated Art Zief in a close race. Last Tuesday the executive board held its meeting in order to determine who will assume the duties that will be left by Norton Herold, the outgoing treasurer. Reports of this meeting reveal that the prexy of the sophomore class, Tony Tarantino, was the unanimous choice of this board for the post of treasurer of the Associated Students. As the senior members of the present Board of Student Control graduate, two more members were elected to this board at the Executive Committee meeting Tuesday before last. King and Clifford The two junior members, Joe Martinelli and Paul Golden, will keep the duties of this board and become the senior members. The junior members of this board were announced by the Executive Committee as Lou King and Gene Clifford. Frank Lawson, the new president, is a "ex officio" member of the Board of Student Control. In order that the proper ceremony may be held for the inauguration of the new members, it has been decided that short order will prevail for the day. The ceremonies will begin at eleven o'clock, and all the students are urged to attend this ceremony. Seattle Team Debates Locals Freshmen Club Ends Its Yearly Activities During the past week the Gavel, Freshmen Debating Society, brought their year's forensic activities to a successful close with a pair of dual debates. On Monday, April 24, the Gavel team of Gene O'Meara and Bob McCarthy met the Seattle College junior varsity in a debate on the question of industrial and technological aid to the European democracies. This debate was held in the Father Semeria Room as a preliminary to the varsity's contest with the barnstorming team from Seattle. Final debate of the year came on Friday evening, April 28, when the team of Bob Christian and Ed Boessenecker debated Sacramento Junicr College in the Capital City on the topic of pump-priming. The Gavel defended this policy. According to President O'Meara. the freshmen will officially close the forensic year with a banquet to be held at a hotel or restaurant as yet indefinite. President 111 Father William J. Dunne, President of the University of San Fran- isco, is in St. Mary's Hospital recovering from a slight attack of the flu. The Father President contracted the flu on his recent trip East, and this second attack is but a recurrence. He is expected back in his duties very shortly. Father Flynn Talks to PDP Literature Talk Given to Honor Society Father Hubert Flynn, S. J., was the guest speaker at the final weekly meeting of the Pi Delta Pi, lower division literary honor society, on Thursday, April 27. Father Flynn spoke on the appreciation of literature in general, touching its practical and cultural value, and drawing deeply from his long experience as a professor of philosophy and of English in both this and Loyola universities. Bob McCarthy, newly elected president of Pi Delta Pi, presided at a business meeting which preceded the lecture. Plans for a newer and more liberal constitution were drawn up, and stricter entrance requirements were set. It was decided that the "Garret," literary publication of the society, be published each semester. Ed Boessenecker was named editor, with the privilege of selecting his own staff. Last Mass This morning witnessed the last assembly of the University student body for this year at the annual First Friday Mass and Communion. A good number of the Don student body attended Mass in the church on the campus, and brought to a close their yearly traditional exercise of hearing Mass and receiving Communion on the First Friday of each month. SENIOR RETREAT SIGN-UP Annual Affair at El Retiro, May 22 Since the founding of the University of San Francisco it has been traditional for the graduating seniors to make a retreat, their last retreat as a body, just after the last few days of class and examinations. Retreat May 22 In a few weeks—to be exact, May 22—the graduating seniors will make their customary senior retreat at El Retiro, Los Gatos. Applications may be handed in to Johnny Swanson at the Co-op, or to Father Mc- Grory. The first seventy to sign up will make the trip in a body; the rest will follow in groups of fifteen each.

Muller Returns Mr. William Muller, former president of the student body, will act as toastmaster for the evening, according to Father Lyons, S. J. Specially spiritual, and set some sort of course for the years that lie ahead of him, as he is on the brink of entering the world and will be strictly on his own." Closely-paralleling the senior comprehensive examinations, the senior retreat is a comprehensive spiritual examination. After preparing their minds for sixteen years so as to achieve material or worldly success, the senior making the retreat reviews and prepares his soul for four short days so as to strive for spiritual progress. Any seni «s wanting to make the trip to Lrs Gatos with the large group should submit his name as promptly as possible, for the number (seventy) is nearly complete.

R. C, Glee Club, Bio- Chem, K. A. P., Don Quixote, Wass- mann, K. L. S., St. Ives, The Gavel, P. D. P., Maraschi, Sodality, Letter Society, Circle Block, Chess Club, Philhistorian Debaters, and Foghorn. Besides the above, representatives of campus activities will also be invited.

The outgoing treasurer, Norton Herold, nominated Tarantino. "In keeping pace with the progressive spirit of the University, I feel that Tony Tarantino is the most fitting person in the school for this post. I can attest to his ability to hold down the post competently, having enjoyed his help on numerous occasions in fulfilling my duties as past treasurer," said Herold. Prom Deficit The president of the Junior Class, Charles Breen, presented a detailed result of the Junior Prom dance. It was roughly estimated, according to Breen, that a deficit of $52 will be declared at next week's meeting of the board. A motion was placed before the Chair and referred to the Finance Committee concerning an appropriation of §40 for the president-elect, Frank Lawson, to cover the expenses of attending the Pacific Coast Association of Presidents' Conference, to be held at Berkeley. "The Finance Committee will rule on this appropriation and place it before next week's meeting for approval," said Chairman Pete Sexton. Dance Proposed A committee was formed at the suggestion of James Madden for the purpose of looking into the possibility of a final dance this spring. "Inauguration Ball" will be the title of the proposed affair. John Guinee was named chairman of the committee, as Madden declined the post. On Wednesday evening, April 26, Kappa Alpha Phi met in its final affair, a banquet to end the year's work. Chairman of the evening was outgoing President Ted Wurm, who introduced the various speakers of the evening. Dean Present Father Lyons, the dean, was in attendance and addressed a few appropriate remarks to the many members, both past and present, in attendance. Following the dean, Professor Henry Strickroth spoke a few words of congratulation to the officers who had served for the past year. Among past presidents at the banquet were Tom Smith, Nort Herold and Frank Lawson, each of whom was called upon for a few remarks.

At the close of the meeting, Doctor Kessel, Moderator of the Group, called a special meeting of the new officers to formulate plans for the coming semester, with emphasis to be placed on the securing of new alumni members.
