Tony Wald and his all-girl or-
chestra, one of the outstanding
bands in central Texas, will play
for . the senior prom set for next
Friday, May 31, in the school gym-
nasium.
Changed from the Capitol Ball-
room in the Austin Hotel when
the latter reneged on an agree-
ment to let the Cadets have it Fri-
day night, the ball nevertheless is
expected to be one of the most
brilliant in the school’s history.
Placing emphasis chiefly on
music, after having hired the best
band available to them, the seni-
ors are spending the week ready-
ing the dance floor and making
last-minute preparations.
Freshmen and sophomores, as
last year, will be allowed to at-
tend, admission prices for non-
seniors and non-juniors having
been set at $2.50 for dates and
$3.50 for stags.
The dance committee is made up
of Art Jordan, Jerome Kralis,
Charles Henderson, Frank Mc-
Gehee, and Frank Dickehut.

Brother Features
Photo Exhibition
Ingeniously dedicated to the
graduating class of ’46 ,a table
display erected by Brother Camp-
ion in the library this week proves
to be one of the most attractive
academic exhibitions of the year.
Having constructed a replica of
the main building, Brother has
used photographs of the seniors
for the windows. School colors
are arched over the doorway, while
names of Academy ,clubs and
fourth-year class officers are used
as further decorations of the
building.

Speaker, Example
Of Ideal Catholic
Brian S. Odem, graduate both
of St. Edward’s high school and
Notre Dame University, was in-
vited to give the Commencement
Address this year not only be-
cause of his high achievement in
the law profession, but also as a
representative of ideal Catholic-
ism, being father of a large
Catholic family.
Enrolled at the Academy here
in 1910, Mr. Odem proceeded to
Notre Dame where he was gradu-
ated with a law degree in 1917.
He later took post-graduate work
at Texas University and then en-
listed in the United States Navy,
April 1918. When mustered out
a year later he had attained the
rank of ensign.
Exemplifying the best in the
traditions of Catholic large fami-
lies, he has seven children, one
daughter and six sons. Three of
his sons fought in the last World
War.
Prior to entering his present
office of United States Attorney,
Mr. Odem was associated in the
practice of law in Corpus Christi
with Mr. B. D. Tarlton.
He was appointed Attorney for
the Southern District of Texas at
Houston in May 1944, having
been assistant since 1934.
PTA Plans, Spends,
Poises for Picnics
Parent-Teachers made prepar-
tions for the next scholastic year
in their meeting, May 8, by au-
thorizing Brother Lucion to pur-
chase an amplifier from the Army
surplus property at Camp Swift.
The new instrument will be
used for dances and other enter-
tainment next year and as such is
invisioned as a valuable contri-
bution to campus life.
Other business transacted dur-
ing the evening included the in-
stallation of new officers, with
Mrs. Charles Weber as president,
Mrs. R. F. Rubarth as vice-presi-
dent, and Mr. Bruce Carson as
treasurer. The new registrar for
the coming year will be the secre-
tary.
Arrangements were also com-
pleted for serving the picnic in
New Braunfels, May 19, and the
picnic supper at St. Edward’s on
the eve of Commencement, Satur-
day. June 1.
The Parents likewise voted to
give their award again this year.

Two Years College
Returns Next Year
St. Edward’s University will re-
turn to its pre-war program of
collegiate courses next autumn, it
was announced by Rev. William
M. Robinson, president of the
school, this week.
Forced into a restricted scho-
lastic schedule in 1943 because of
war conditions, the school offi-
cials had temporarily placed em-
phasis on high school work, and
limited the college to the fresh-
man year.
For the coming term, both
freshmen and sophomore classes
will be taught, the authorities
hoping to reinstate all four years
of the art, science, and commerce
departments if registrations war-
rant the move.
