On March 22nd, the St. Viator Col­lege· debaters met a nd defeated the world-tour debatin g team of Oregon Uni versity, Eugene, Ore. The ques­tion debated by the two teams wa s: "Resolved, Tha,t the Prohi bition of In­toxicating- Liquor s is Impractica bl e." The debate w as held at the Kni g hts of Columbus aud itoriu m in Kankakee. The decision rendered by three com ­petent judges was two to one in fa.vor of St. Viator Colelge.

The princi pal diversion of the evening was the usua l num ber of rounds of "500." Five games of four hands each were played. The firs t pri ze wa s meri ted by Mr. Ernest Mil ­ler , who a ma ssed a score of thirty-one hun dred R·nd se venty to win a bea uti ­ful pa ir of book end s. Another F ort \ ¥ ayne " H oosier /' in the person of Byron "Boob'' E va rd proved that his only accompli shm ent ·was not basket ball by garnering a score sufficient to ea rn the second prize.

Stafford and Boysen represented St. V~ator.

The debate was s taged at the Kanka ­kee Am erican Legion Armory aft er a m emorial banquet held jointly by the members of the American Legion and the Spanish War Veterans. Prof.

Return From Rome

The most arden t wishes a nd t he prayerful expectations of the facult y and student body of St. Viator College were fulfi lled most pleasa.ntly when Cardinal Mundel ein officially an­nounced that the Rt . Rev. Msgr. B. J . Sheil, '07 , h~d been appoint ed auxil­iary Bi shop of Chicago by P ope P ius XI. Monsig-nor Sheil will succeed the Rt. Rev. Edwa.rd F. Hoban w ho was r ece ntly named Ordlnary of the ~o ck­

ford Diocese. Cardina l Mundelein an­nounced the appointment immediately after his return from Rome last Sat­urday. The announcement was the occasion of much joy throughout the Chicago dioc~se where Monsignor Sh'eil is held in hig h es teem and where

he has la bored lon g a nd faithf ully in important posi tjons. The selection of MonRignor Sheil a s Auxiliary Bishop is the merited cul mination of whole­hearted endeavor a nd willi ng sacri­fi ce in the vineyard of the Master.

Consecration May First Monsignor Sheil wi ll be consecrated

by Cardinal Mundelein in the Holy Name Cathedral on May 1st. T he Cardinal will preside at t he ins talla­tion of Bishop Hoban a fortnig ht later, May 15th. Monsignor Sheil is one of thre~. phic~ go priests to be elevated to t he prelatesh ip within a few years, being proceeded by Bish 9p Hoban in 1921 and Bi shop Dunne, of Peoria, in 1910. Mon~ ignor Sheil will be ·the. T it ula r Bishop of Pege.

When Mon signor Sheil acompanied Cardi nal Mundelein t o Rome smne weeks a go, it was g enerally believed througho ut the Archdiocese that he

wou ld r eturn with the mitre. This pop ular a nd pers istent rumor has been confirm ed, and St. Viator is proud that one more of her alumni w.ill be consecra ted a bishop. The date of the consecrat ion ha.s been set for May fi rst. The Bishop-elect was born in the ci ty of Chicago fort y one years ago. He attended St. Columbkilk o school which w as taught a t that time by the Holy Cross Brothers. The graduates of lus cla~s who continued their studies, fe ll into three groups. Some went to Notre Da me, some to St. Ignatius, and some to St. \7 iator College. 11 Benny'' Sheil was number­ed in the last group.

On arriving at St. Viator College, the future Bishop easily won hi s way in to the hearts of both fac ulty and s tudents. He m.ade rapid progress in his studies and succeeded in carr ying off several medals for hi s proficiency in classwork. He di sproved the ra th­er popu}a.r notion that a good student cannot be a good a thlete, or vice versa . Monsignor Sheil was an ath­lete of marked a bility and his record on the field of sports is pointed to with pride by every Viator man. Many a time he was responsible fo r tht laurel of victory being pl aced on the brow of Via tor.

His philooophical and theological s tudies wer~ likewise contin ued at St . Viator's a nd he was ordained from the Coll ege in 1910. His first appoint­ment was to St . Mel's parish. F~ther Sheil was possessed of remarkabl0 zea l and he did DOt spare himself in workin!J for th e spiritual good o! this

1928 Voyageur Will Be E ntered In The Stale Press Association

Contes t

The fact that t he Voyageur Staff is ser iously considering the proposition of entering the Annual in one or more year-book contests ought to be of in­terest to every Academy student. T here are two reasons why this mat­ter should concern the high school pupils : th e firs t, that, if the 1928 Voy­ageur should be fort unate to carry oft' honors ln such a contest, the victory would earn State-wide recognition for St. Via tor Academy; and the second, that, even in the event that the An­nual merited no awards in the compe­tition , the zest with wh ich the staff wou ld work that it might win a place w~:m l d be producti ve of an unusually good annual.

The contest in which the book ap­pea rs cer tain to be entered is that one which is sponsored by the Illinois State High School Press Associa tion . Thi s con test is not competitive, but each school which is adjudged to have published a book of unusual merit, in view of the opportunities presented them for so publishing, is awarded a dis tinguished rating diploma. It is entirely probabl e th at thi s w ill not be the only competition in which the book will be placed, but, since no other ones ha ve been fina ll y decided upon, it is a bit too ea,rly to publish anything definite a bout the specification~ and awards of any particular one.

The staff members have of late been questioned quite frequently about the makeup of this yea r 's Voyageur. Since the dummy is not yet f ull y com­pleted, the follo,Ying general outline is the best information they can sup­ply on the subject.

According to present plans, the theme of book will be Greek. This will not be very strongly stressed, howeve r , for the simple reason that the staff does not wish to spoil th e book by too vigorous ly applying their limited knowledge of such a difficult subject . The cover is to be of_ a med­ium green sha de with an embossed title paneL Some sort of decorative emblem, possibly a small fi gure of St. Vi ator wi ll be placed in the lower right-hand corner of the cover, but it will not be bronzed. To match the colo_r of the cover, a g reen border will probably be used in the body of the book. The shade of paper in the book proper wi ll be ivory instead of white.

A very beautiful opening section has been planned but the detai ls of the plan are not yet f ull y ready for publication. However, one thing tha t has been definitely decided upon is that the ca mpus pictures wi ll cover eight pages in s tead of the usua.J four.

The Sta ff ha s already begun to make copy for the book. The 1n embers are attempting to ha.ve all their copy in a few weeks before t he end of the school year in order that the book may be in the mails by July 1st-two weeks ah ead of the usual date of pub· licat ion. The engraver s will begin wor k on the cuts for the Voyageur a s soon as the photographers snap the rema.inder of the group pictures.

Easter

Easter, the feast of feasts, the anniversary of Christ's most conclusive proof of His Divinity, is soon to be greeted by a world reborn , fresh and pure after winter 's long siege. How eloquently do s na ture prepar the world fo r this great feast ! How like to Holy Moth r Church is nature in this dawning springtime! With lash and courg of winter winds, with heavy snow and cheerless a ir, t he earth is purified to rise again and greet the risen Christ. The Church counselling penance and mortificat ion throughout Lent prepare us fo r t he greatest of all f easts. Long has the first ~w et-toned bell on Easter morn echoed the death-knell to the grip of winter's cold hands. Long has tha t bell called fo rth , from every hearth, myriads of worshippers to joyously procla im "Resurrexit sicut dix it." Long has that early morning bell ca lled forth into t h warm and bles eel sunshine the worldling, the materialist, and, on the other s ide of the s treet, t he Christian, the faithf ul in Christ, th e man to whom the story of the Resurrection is one of never ending d light, the man to whom Easter brings the fu llness of its blessings.

The word, Easter , is of pagan or igin . It originally indicated the pagan goddes of spring and the pagan spring festival. Un­fortunate ly the term still ha a pagan s ignificance to very many p ople toda~·· The worldling sees no more in the feast than an op­po rtuni ty to 1Jarade his new clo thing. He see only the external side of t he Easter feast . He is glad beca use the sun shines, be­cause the birds arol their sheer rapture in being alive, because all nature smiles back at the sun 's warm glances. Wi thout analyzir• g h imself, he finds that he is happy simply because his surroundings lHI\'e taken on a joyous aspect. He conventionally wishes his friends a happy Easter. blissfully unaware of the true meaning of the salutalion. He is satisfied to join the fashionable on the boule,·ard promenade, display his affabil ity, and give his wife, to whom Easter means little more than the grand opening of the spring style show, an opportunity to flaunt her new ensemble, and scrut iniz h r neighbor's dress. Yes! l\Iother must have her new ensembl . And Little l\Iary must be arrayed in sh immering silk. E,·en the to~· poodle must ha\'e a new red ribbon and leash. I or is dad exempt from the delu ion. His trouser legs must be an inch wid r, thei1· shade n bit lighter. their li11es a bit sharper. The old hat is either discarded or emblazoned with a new ribbon; the neck­\ ie is a bright r red. of course. Added to all this is a gourmand's dinn >r, and thut. to the modern Babbit is Easter.

How different an aspect does Easter bear to one who has co­operl\ted with the Church throughout Lent' How great its signi­rlcunce to ne wh realizes its true purport! The Church directs him through a season of penance and mortification: he sorrowful­ly follows hrist from th court of Herod o that of Pilate. and up the 1 ng steep hill to 'ah·ary. He kneels. disheartened, for th!'ee long hours at the foot of the Cross: he hears the ·consummatus est'. He 1 turns on Holy vatul'day to \'enerate the -cross; to pay,

King and paup r alike unite to well the glorious Alleluia . Neither dress nor calltc are que tioned. What matter dress or tation. man or world now that Christ is ri en? What gourmand feast will compare with the Communion feast on Easter morn? What atisfaction com­pare with the peace and joy that fills each Christian heart?

Easter should be the most joyous of all fea ts to e\·ery Chris­tian. On that day is celebrated the undeniable proof of Christ'a mastery over all. It is the anniversary of our aviour's verifica­tion of the validity of our faith, the ground for our hopes. for if Christ had not risen, then surely would our tru t be in vain, our hopes unfounded. Let us attempt to realize the true t and deep­est significance of the great feast, and let u hope that it meaning may soon be gra peel by the countless thousand who are delusion­eel by the materialistic aspect that materialist ic minds have spread about it .

American Ser iousness

Of recent years there has crept into our academic endeavors a certa in unnecessary and aggravating seriousness. Although we are not bored with it as yet, fore igners and especially the reputed­ly solemn Englishmen charitably complain that an unnatural gravity is rendering our academic labors f utile in their eyes. Whether speaking from a forensic platform or wri tng a s imple little story, we are as anctimonious as the Tarcae. I t seems that we are afraid to t reat with facts as t hey a re; we prefer to en­shrine them and revere them as ideals. A principle or old theory is something awful , something not to treat lightly, something we may not speak of except after earnest concentration. When a writer or speaker takes up a th esis, he enters a sanctuary of pro­fo und thought, pays homage to all traditional notions or princip­les and handles the sacred vessels or facts with ut mo t care. With equal di ligence and intent, he urges th e congregation to join in in the lauds, and if something would not happen to end t he adoration, the people would drop dead with thei r priest from sheer exhaus­tion. And to th ink that the church might have been more beauti­f ul than it is, if that impish iconocla t Thackeray, and his ward H. L. Menken, had not broken the noses off the statues ! E ven to­day we are shocked to think of the maliciousness of the crime; but we find consola t ion from the new deities we have set up.

In t ru th we are image worshippers, when we want to. do something right . We get all our aid from t he muse of seriousness. Th e fi r st thing to do in all our endeavors is to become serious. Un­doubtedly t his attitude is conducive to long-suffering and patient efforts, but it is not t he sole source of appreciated or worthwhile wor ks. Much less should the inten se strain, prod uced by an unre­lenting eriou ne s, pervade the work as its predominate tone. I t leads to nervousness or utter disgust.

Nevertheless, whether our notions are vague, our attit ude peevish, or because it is a deeply rooted tradition that seriousness lends the most favorable impress ions, we inevitably become seri­ous in whatever we do. Just like the Proh ibition Amendment; no me knows its source, we can not realize its effects' and yet it is part of our national character. Nevertheless, we thank our kind neighbors for ca lling our attention to this fault of ours, and we hope co~mon sense will be our sole guide in the f uture.

Po ilion Viator

By a recent ap-... ointment of the )lissions in many of the pnrishes

of the Chicago, Rockford, and Peoria ~·ery Rev. F. M. Dioceses have, ns usual, created an

insistent demand for asistnnce fro rn the priests from t. \'iato r College.

The importa nt offi ce , to which our well known and equa lly ad­mired f rie nd and teacher has been elevated, was vacated last November by the untimely death of our beloved Father Pa lnte. ince that time the Rev. Brother W. J. Cracknell, c. s. v., ha s been in charge. Although the measure of sincere d votedness and industry which Fa ther Plante lent to his duties ns Directo r seem s insur­passable, yet we feel confide nt that Father Landroche will be a worthy successor of a most worthy mnn.

Father Landroche was born in Chip­pewa F a lls , Wi A., imigrating in his ea rly youth to Bourbonnais, where he rece ived his primary educat ion under the Viatorinn Brothers. H e pursued his secondary education under the same tutelage, g raduating from St. Viator Academy in 1911. Upon finish ­ing his high schoo l education, he en­tercel the Vialorian novitiate in hica ... go. In 1911 he pronounced hi s first vows, cnten ng on n caree r which had been as fond ly cherished by him as it was made evide nt to t hose who sup­en·ise<l his early life. From t hence , Father Land roche devot •d himself t<J t he ed ucation of youth, performing in turn all the arduous duties and tasks that hi ~ s uperiors commanded. Hi~ many labor~ did not deter him from continuing hi!i O\'>'n educatbn.

deeds.

At present t he pitchers seem t o be f a r ahead of the r est of the club due t o the f act that they have the g ym f or their work. A rather impromptu g a me between teams captained by E vard a nd Harrington wa s held a nd The Frogs won 7-2. Many errors mingled with occas iona l bits of hitting and the ste llar pitching of Bill Todd featured the tilt. The Chicago Red­head had a fas t ba ll that snapped a uci cracked over the platter and it is saf e to sa y that he will be heard from later on.

Viator has a r a ther heavy schedule this spring. The representatives of the Green open the sea son a t Illinots Coll ege and then meet Concordia, St. Louis U., and Bloomington in the Three-! League. If the Irish survive this tes t it is safe to predict that an­other Confere nce gonfalon will decor ­ate t he wall s of the College Club.

After E as ter the nine will begin to a ssume definite shape and not until then will Viator f a ns be able to esti­mate the ca.!ibre of the club. Until then the college rooters will have to comfort their f ears and worries on the glories of the pas t and rest a s­sured that t he s lump in Collegiate base ball has not a ffected St . Vi a tor.
