REILE . . .
(Continued from page 2)
Oops! "Follow the crowd if you
wish to inspect the new building.
You will find courteous guides
stationed ten feet inside .the build-
ing to answer any question you
wish to ask.”
There’s an intelligent looking
guide. "Sir, are you one of the
professors here at St. Mary’s? I
remember your face. Weren’t you
in my physics class?” "No, I am
not a professor here. I am still
plugging away at first-year physics.
I expect to pass it just any sem-
ester now.” "Oh!”
That fellow had already taken
the course twice the year I flunked
physics. I’ll ask this next guide
how many more sections there are
to this building. I don’t think it’s
possible to have many more sciences.
"Young man, how many more
rooms do you have in this build-
ing?” "There are two more floors
with approximately 16 rooms. If
you are tired and wish to rest be-
fore completing your tour, this
elevator will take you to the science
library.” "Thank you, son.”
"Well, Mr. Reile, you may go
now. The class is already dis-
missed.” "Gee whiz, Brother, I
must have dozed a bit.” "Yes, ever
since the first five minutes of the
course.” "Sorry, Brother.” "Mr.
Reile, remember what I said before;
people who sleep during lectures
usually turn out to be bums.” "Yes,
sir. I’ll remember that, Brother.”

REV. El CONVALESCING
Very Rev. Joseph C. Ei, former
provincial of the Society of Mary
and Vicar General of Religious Wo-
men for the Archdiocese of San
Antonio, has been a patient at San-
ta Rosa Hospital for the past three
weeks. Ordered to take a rest by
his doctors, Father Ei is expected
to be out of the hospital early next
week.
Ex Visits Librarian
After 23 Years
Photographer’s mate first class
John Helmick came back to St.
Mary’s last week after an absence
of 2 3 years and visited with his
former professor, Brother Lawrence
T. Duffy, college librarian.
He and his brother Howard had
ccme from Minneapolis, Minn, in
1921 to enter St. Louis College.
During his recent visit, John visited
the classrooms and pointed out the
exact place where his desk was lo-
cated in 1922.
Helmick told his wife of a slip
of paper he had hidden behind the
blackboard in one of the classrooms.
But this relic of his college days
could not be located because—you
guessed it—the blackboards in that
room had been removed.
John Helmick, PHO-M 1/c (see
above) is now on his way to Flor-
ida to take advanced training in
aerial photography.

General physics, second-year
physics, electricity, electronics and
radio, nuclear physics, optics and
acoustics will comprise the six lab-
oratories on the third floor. The
plans also show a dark-room, re-
search laboratory, workshop, lec-
ture rooms, stock-rooms, offices
and private laboratories.
Several large rooms for expan-
sion, and to meet needs not now
foreseen, will be available in the
tower. In addition, here will be
lodged an automatic water still and
supply tank, water-storage tank,

equipped machine shop, generator-
and-battery room with distribution
panel, glass-blowing shop, animal
room for the biology department,
provision for an air-compressor,
vacuum-pump, steam boiler, and

Delta Epsilon Sigma
Will Meet in June
Annual meeting to select candi-
dates for the Alpha Eta chapter of
Delta Epsilon Sigma, ordinarily
held in May, has been postponed to
mid-June, according to Rev. Alex-
ander Wangler, editor of The Alamo
Register and president of the chap-
ter.
Reason for the postponement, ex-
plained Father Wangler, is the fact
that most of the potential candi-
dates for the honor society will be
August graduates and it will be
necessary tc judge their eligibility
on the basis of grades made dur-
ing the second semester.
