Most of these companies have already good officers in charge and there are many others who desire positions in the regiments, and I will forward the recommendation for their coamissions under such restrictions as you may deem proper. I believe that we are entitled to this favor, from the fact that we took hold of the negro question in its early stages, and so far as was in the power of the command they did what they could to make them useful to the Government; and both officers and men did this when it was looked upon as a disgrace by many, both in and out of the army, and when it was a thankless job to those engaged in it. If any are to be rewarded, I consider it should be those men who had the nerve to try and render them serviceable to us instead of a disgrace and a burden. We are now raising a large crop'of cotton with negro labor, nl I necessary to guard it. The negroes that are organized are used for that purpose;'but the organization is not regular not has it . .. fehe proper authority.

Captain S. Wait, - A. A. G. Left Wing 16th A. C. W Captain: I have the honor to submit the following report'of the expedition iip the Tuscumbia Valey to Courlland, Alabama. The intention and plan of the moveaent was to cover a raid by Col, Straight of Maj. General Rosecrans' command, to break iip the Atlanta and Chattanooga R.R. and for the purpose of destroying the enemies*supplies in rear of Bragg's army and to destroy the Memphis and Charleston R. R. from Bear Creek to Decatur. Col, Straight was to meet me with his brigade at Eastport on Thursday, April 16th, I moved from Corinth with the 2nd Div.l6th A.C. Wednesday April 15th and camped at Burnsville• The next day moved to Cook's, two and a half miles west of Great Bear Creek, and made my preparations to cross, the rebels holding the opposite side, Friday morhing, April 17th, I made feint at Jackson's and Bailing'? Fords and^^ under cover ofmy artillery threw most of my force across at Stemmerrines ford. The cavalry under Col. Cornyn and mounted infantry under Lieut. Col. Philips, made the crossing and"pushed forward, my instructions to t them being to move forward three and a half miles and wait orders. Col. Comyn meeting the enemy about a iaile out'bo^miienced fighting them, they " ' • , -rj": r falling back rapidly, . r , r ( - , , Hearing of Col. Roddy commahdihg k force of enemy on my left flank I sent forward orders for the command to halt; but before the messen ger arrived Col, Roddy had got between the'cavalry and infantry,The third brigade (inf'antry( being in advance, commanded by Col, Bane, who ascertaining this fact pushed forward and fell upon their rear, but not until Col. Roddy had tdkan two pieces of artillery twenty-two men and one company of mounted infantry, who were guarding it, which through neglect had been allowed to fall three miles in the rear of advance. Col., P.omyn hearing firing in the rear, immediately fell back and with the first Alaoaipa CaTalry , charged 239A the rebels and retook the artillery and caissons with the exception of one gun which the enemy succeeded in getting off with. The charge of ^ the Alabamians with muskets only and those not loaded, is creditable especially as they are all new recruits and poorly drilled. In this charge Capt. Cameron, the commanding officer of the Alabama Cavalry, a deserving and much lamented officer, was killed. .iP*' ru' Col. Bane, on his arrival disposed of his troops admirabley. Col, Cornyn advanced with his cavalry as a feint and the rebels advanced to meet him; he fell back to the rear of the infantry which was posted imder cover and out of sight on both flanks of the cavalry. On the ap pearance of the enemy the Infantry opened a heavy and destructive fire .■ which caused the rebels to fall back in confusion, utterly routed and with considerable loss. This day's work brought us thirteen miles in ,.,,m advance of the main force. Col, Straight not arriving, I fell back with the advance to Great Bear Creek where the rest of the command was posted Saturday to await hi: coming, Sunday afternoon Col. Straight commenced landing his force at bM* Eastport, but came poorly prepared for his contemplated movement. He j had two thousand infantry and about one thousand mules. •t_leas t-4:o»r, tbAttaiMiiU inJaaatry -taki .nbnai^r.tfnR tihQHjBMaH"iniilT^a''-and in unloading them, ' wu, through the carelessness of one of his officers, two hundred strayed away Me was under the impressions that he would find plenty of stock in the Oi? • valley to mount the rest and replace those broken down. ••tlNNIoff During Monday and Tuesday we scoured the country and gathered all bjy the stock wd could, Tuesday night Col. Puller's Brigade from Corinth joined me, Wednesday morning I advanced with all the force and came up with the enemy at Rockcut, five miles west of Tuscumbia. Planted my 9 baHeriea and drove them out of it, taking the line of little Bear B Creek that night. The enemye position was a very strong one and there was but one way to flankt it, vhich 1 adopted, the enemy falling back soon as I brought the infantry to bear upon them, Thurday we moved forward crossing at three places . ^ i. throwing my Cavalry by the f'ranlcfort once ^uscnmbia road into the enemys rear, but during the night anticipating this movement, the enemy fell brack. We reached Tuscumbia about noon, and after slight skirmishing ^ - took possession of the city, ' ■ • I immediately dispatched Lieut. Col. Phillips wih two squadrons of moTonted infantry, "two squadrons 15th Illinois caviary and a section of Welker's battery to take Florence. They refused to -surrender when Col. ghillips immediately opened on the town. A few shells brought them to terms and we occupied the place. At the same time I ordered Col. Cornyn forward toward Courtland to feel the enemy; he came up with their rear some two miles out and fought them two miles beyond Leighton. The com mand consisted in our part of the lOth Missouri Cav. and 7th Kansas Cav. about eight hundred inall. Driving the enemy about eight miles^ The rebel force was three thousand five hundred strong and one battery. The fighting of the cavalry ag ainst such odds is beyond all praise. The next morning the cavalry fell back to Tuscumbia to await the r; advance of the main column. Finding it impossible to obtain stock to mount col. Straight's coirmand I took horses and mules from my teams and mounted Infantry and furnished him some six hundred head, mounting all , but two hundred of his men. i also turnOd over all my hard bread, some n 0 fci' ■ . two thousand rations, andhe left me at midnight on the26th inst. with the • I f intention of going through Russellvllle, Moulton and Blountxville to fladsdon; then divide one force to strike Rome, the other the Etowah Xie . o Bridge. Col. Straight was acting under instructions of Ma.i. Cen. Rosecras and not being a part of my command I gave him nd" instructions, but did all in my power in the way of mounting andprovisioning'him to make his trip successful. I aiao advanced with'my column in such a manner as cover all his movements. I moved forward Monday morning and drove the enemy across Town creek that night, and ascertained that they werd in force, unde. Foreat on the opposite bank. That night I communicated with Col. Stralglit at Mount Hope and ascertained that he was all right. r; 11% bo* •3- ■ - . . f.'O ^ Tuesday morning the Creek had risen ten feet and ran so swift that neither horse nor man could cross. I immediately made dispositions to cross at three points, to cover the railroad bridge, and then throw ' jj., across a foot bridge. The resistance of the enemy was very strong and their sharpshooters very annoying. The artillery duel was very fine, r. parts of Welkers, Tamaraths Richerdsons and Robinsons batteries taking ♦ i w " jv,. • part In It. The practice both on ours and their part was excellent. _ The parrott guns dSove the enemy away from their guns, disabling and keeping them away for two bourse, but the fact of my beingunable to cross infantry prevented our securing them. About noon I cross the ;railroad bridge with the 81st Ohio and 9th Ills. Regts. and soon after crossed my infantry on foot bridges and drove the enemy within three oe n.sialles of Courtlandt, when hearing of the force at Mculton they fled to I Decatur. I pursued them until dark, and then returned and bivonaoked , at Town '^reek that night, being unable to cross any of my artillery, ool. Straight reaohe d Boulton Tuesday nl^t and commenced ascending j. the mountains gednosday, having gotten nearly two days start of the „ enemr. They supposed he was making for Deoatur and only discovered Wednesday that he was crosolng the monntalns towards Georgia. -MO H aving eocomplished fully the objoote of the expedition and driven the enemy over five thousand five hundred strong to Deoautr and having been on half rations for a week,' I foil back to Tusoumiba in order to communicate with transports to obtain rations and ammunition. On ar riving there I received Infornjition that the Gun oats had gone down the ' river, taking'the transports with them, a part of Van Dom's forcoa , a j ..v^vxk»or.orlCfi on the north side of Tennessee river, and having th®J,:r aVS? IP. M. They also planted a battery ^ at°Savannah and Duck Rlv. but my precaution in destroying all means of .Aj crossing oroRfiinr- ^e hhe r river on my J transports advance prevented left the him day getting before, in having my rear, a short and rgairn?'St's.vt™r»rS;:orRiver. van Porn-a force then moved towards Decatur, that was the last we heard of them. On my return I burned all piovisions, produce and forage all mills and tanyards, and destroyed everything that could in any way aid the ^ enemy* I took all stock of all 'kinds that I could find, and rendered the valley so destitute that it cannot be occupied by the Confederates except prevision and forage is transported to them. I also destroyed the telegraph and railroad betwe'en Tuscumbia and Decatur and all the ferries between Savannah and Courtlandt, I have "^no doubt but that Col, Straight would have aucceeded had he been properly equipped and joined me at the time agreed upcn th great dealy, in an enemy's country nec essary to fit him out, gave th^ni time to throw a large force in our front, and although Col, Straight had two days start, yet they can harass him and perhaps niheck his movements long enough for them to secure all three important bridges. If he could have started from Bear Creek the day I arrived there then my movements would have been so quick and strong that the enemy could not have got their forces togeth-^ er. The animals furnished him were very poor at the start; four hundred of hhem were used up before leaving me, and those furnished him by me were about all the serviceable stock he hhd, though I learned he got two hundred good mules the day he left me in the Moulton Valley. O^i my return I sent Col, Comyn with the 10th Missouri, 7th Kansas and 15t Ills. Cavalry and 0th Ills, mounted infantrj to attack the forces con gregated at Tupelloa and Okolono, Col. Cornyn came up with the enemy on Wednesday and immediately attacked them, they being some three thousand strong under Maj, Gen, Gholson and Brig. Gen. Ruggles, Brig. Ben, Chalmers with three thousand hundred men were at Pontotoc, but failed to come to Gholson e aia though ordered. Col. Cornyn fought them with such determination opd vigor that h- soon routed the force in fDont drl .ng them in all directions, killing and wounding a large number and taking one hundred prisoners including seven officers a ^ large number of arms and five hundred and fifty horses, saddles, &c. ^ The enemy fled towards Okolono and pontotoc and Col. Cornyn returned to Corinth. 0 The expedition so far can be sxinmed up as having accomplished the / object for which it started. The infantry having marched two hundred and fifty miles, and the cavalry nome four hundred miles and fought six successful engagements driving the enemy'three'thousand strong from Bear Creek to Decatur, taking the towns of Tuscumbia and Florence with a loss not exceeding two hundred and fifty J-illed and wounded including three officers. Destroyed one and a half millions bushels of corn besides large quantities of oats, rye and fodder, five hundred thousaifd pounds of bacon captured one hundred and*fifty prisoners, one thousand head of horses and mules and an equal number of cattle, hogs and sheep, also one hundred bales of cotton, besides keeping the whole command in meat for three weeks destroying the railroad from Tuscumbia to Decatur also some sixty flat boats and'ferries in the Tennessee river, thereby preventing Van Dorn in his move from crossing to my rear; also destroyed five tanyards and six fiouring mills. It has rendered deaolate one of the best grainiers" of the soulih, preventing them from raising another crop this year, and taking away from them some fifteen hundred negroes. We found large quantities of shelled corn and bacon already for shipment and gave it to the flames. I cannot speak too highly of the conduct of the officers and men under my command. They were guilty of but one disobedience of orders in burning some houses between Town Creek and Tuscumbia, on ^he discovery of which I issued orders to shoot any man detected in the act lifter that, nothing was burned except by my orders. The fighting of the cavalry was excellent; the 10th Mo,, 7th Kan. 15th Ills, and Ist Ala all done/ themselves credit, they invariably drove the enemy no matter what their force. The disposition of the troops at Lundy*8 Lane by Col. Bane of the 60th 111 . was very credit" able and the management of the right by Oen. Sweeney at the Rockcut, also deserves mention. Lt. Col.

This was proper, for the rebels had used It "as a defense, and afterwards as a hiding place for their lookouts, who were watching our movements. Soon after our jwoh on the morning of the 19th be*an, we could see behind us to the ^ight and left the dense black smoke arising from burning buildings. This continued throu^ the day. It was not known whether the burlng was. done by order or not, and various oplnolns as to Its pro priety were eipreaaed. The general opinion, however, was that the || May, 1863♦ o - - „ -- • — - i ^ -1 fine residences were harmless- not even being a source of gain to , .,their owners, and that it was impolitic, at least, to burn them. But still as we inarched mile after mile, the same dark columns could be - f * seen rising in new places, telling of the destruction where it rose. At night we had passed through Tuscumbia, and camped this side of Little Bear Creek. Before we slept we knew what the commanding Gen'- eral thought of the house burning by the follov/ing order, which was ..read to the troops. It appears that he had ordered all the corn to be burned hhich could be found, and had detailed a force for the purpose and others seeing the smoke, without knowing its cause, took the 11- ♦ - cense to apply the torch to the houses found deserted.

" bfx-a Information has Just been received of a severa engagement in Ala- May, 1863. .roti bama, in the north-east corner of Winton county, between the rebel command of Rhoddy, and the forces of Col. Straight. ♦ As yet there has been no account of any expedition made public -1! ^hich would account for the presence of Union troops in that locality and as before this can reach your readers, the work for which the ex- ♦ pedition was sent will be done, it willbe no harm to state its history. T/hen the recent movement of Gen, Dodge into Alabama was planned, Y,',! there was much more intended by it than the driving away of the rebels V '* from the rich country about Tuscumbia. It will be observed that on the same day on which Gen. Dodge started from Corinth, Col. Grierson started from Lagrange, and various other movements were made between here and Memphis, to engage thoroughly the attention of the rebels. * Ihen Gen. Dodge reached Bear Creek, he expected to be joined by a considerable of cavalry, and also to meet Col. Straight frcm Rosecrans' command. In this he was disappointed Owing to various causes which delayed those forces. Consequently a halt of hearly a week at Bear Creek was necessary, in order to give time for these troops to come up. It was ost amusing to see by the Southern telegrams the surmises made as to the meaning of these various movements. r r Gen. Rosocrans, who wished aOme important servibe Ve^^fommed In Geo rgia and Alpbama, detailed Col. l^tralght with his regiment, 51st Illi nois and 3d Ohio- all fine regiments upon which th utmost relianog could be placed, axvd arranging to have them moxinted, ho marched them May, 1863, across to Port Henry on the Tennessee, where they placed'aho^^rd trans- " ports, and conveyed hy fien. Ellet's Mississippi marine brigade, they came to Eastport, From there they marched to join Gen. Dodge at Bea r Creek. They moved then with the command, with as little ostentation as possible, to Tuscumbia. There again a little delay was necessary in order to fit out the Colonel's command in the style required. When Gen. Dodge moved easterly from Tuscumbia, Col. Strai^t's command, starr ing at midnight, moved in nearly a southerly direction, and being all - well mounted, he was expected to march with sufficient rapidty to en- ^X_iirely avoid Rhoddy's force, which Gen. Dodge was engagin in front. Unu While Gen. Dodge was engaging Rhoddy at Town Creel: on Tuesday,, the -88th of April, the latter received his first intelligence of Colonel Straight's movement, and when the engagement there closed, Rhoddy moved clear on to Decatur, about twenty miles, and with freshtroops which he found there, on the next day he moved toward Straight. Learn- .,,1 ing this movemebt in time. Col. Straight very quietly determined to give battle, and, accordingly placed his command in ambush and awaitj ed results. On came the confident chivalry, certain of an easy prey, .but alas for their hopes. Col. Straight was not cau^t napping. He received them warmly at every point, and succeeded in finally repuls ing them with a loss of twenty killed and a proprortionate number wotanded. Rhoddy was glad to fall back to Decatur, where Col. Straight . pushed on in the direction of his appointed work. ^ I ^ Colonel Straight and his gallant men will next be heard May, 1863. . . from, we cannot tell, although it is possible that in a day or two . news from him msy reach Corinth,) > in which case you will be duly adr vised.

Dodge's recent successful expedition through Northern Mississ-^ ippl and Alabama having made him the subject of favorable mention in the newspapers of the country, I am assured that a brief sketch of his military career will be eagerly perused, at least by your Iowa readers. ■ Gen. Dodge entered the service as Col. of the 4th Iowa Infantry which was organized at Council Bluffs, at which place Gen. Dodge resided As soon as organized the regiment was ordered to Jefferson Barracks, reporting to Ma'j. Gen. Curtis', remaining there about three weeks during * which breif period the young Col, attracted the attention and won the esteem of his commanding General, and was at once recognized and regarded in distinguished and military circles as a "Growing man." When Gen. C's connand reached Rolla>Col. Dodge was appointed to , itm buir. -^r ^ luoeci . , ' : " - vi ... 256^ May, 1863. - - - - , the responeible position of CommandHnt of that post, and in that ca- ^pacity acquitted himself with great credit. When the command moved Southward in pursuit of Van Dorn and Price, Col. Dodge was assigned com mand of a brigade and on the bloody field of Pea Ridge (where he was wounded and had two horses shot under him) his bravery and skill con tributed largely toward securing one of the most important victories of the war, and in consideration of which gallant service he was pro mptly rewarded with the Silver Star, and soon thereafter was assigned fco the command of the Central District of West. Tenn., headquarters at Trenton, where he very soon attracted the attention of his coirmanding General; and was assigned command of the District of Columbus, then one of the most important commands in the Department, There his spark- " 1 , Jing genius was more fully displayed, and the young Brigadier soon regarded as one of the most efficient and reliable Generals in the De1 • partment. When Rosecrans was assigned to the command of the Depart ment of the Cumberland, General Dodge, was, at his own request, orderfA I ed there and took command of the glorious old 2nd Division, and soon 4.thereafter was assigned to his present command, the District of Corinth, r embracing the posts of Corinth, Bethel, Chewalla, Danvill, Davis Mills fl! and Glendale, Entering upon the discharge of his responsible duties Ik''" with characteristic energy, he has completely Federalized the entire section within the command; having driven the enemy far beyond our ^ lines, ridded the country of Guerrillas and established order where confusion ran riot, and by the exercise of his eminent abilities as an Hay, 1863. engineer has" rendered this placej possessing no natural advantages for defense whatever,' a perfect Bibralter. Removing all restriction previously existing thereto, he has encouraged Union citizens to come within our lines and ^oin our ariry, thus developing and rednering practical the Union sentiment exisiting in the adjacent country; hav ing formed companies and battalions of Union troops of men who otherwi se would have been conscripted into the rebel service. An eminent patriot. Gen. Dodge is an ardent supporter of the Administration in its general war policyj and particularly its progressive measure. In nothing is he more supremely consistenet than in his hatred of traitors, rebels, and rebel sympathizers, all of whom he'ranks in the categroy, and treats accordingly. He believes in making war in earnest, as the country wherever any of his company has been, will readily attest. Having been very energetic enforcing the Emancipa tion and Conscription measures, he has collected here about 3000 con trabands, all of whom he has rendered useful and profitable,and has recently organized one full regiment of colored troops, and will have another organized at an early day. His system of scouting and dispo sition of hie secret rervice corps is probably the most perfect in the army. So masterly is their management that with but a few men he performs the service usually performed by heavy forces of cavalry. Any movements of the enemy in force within 75 miles of here is at U . ©lice understood by him and in fact, a party of a dozen guerrillas ©an not approach our most remote outposts without his knowledge. | May, 1863, I am informed that when the Vicksburg campaign was being arranged, « he asked to be relieved of his command and to have his glorious old 2nd division under his command form part of that expedition. But his valued service could not be spared here, and though the refusal was his request was a distinguished compliment, he chafed under It like a f0O£ caged lion, Gen. Dodge is by nature and education a military man having all the requisite endowment and attainments for a leader and commander. Few t; men are endowed with his remarkable versatility of genius. Possession executive and administrative abilities of the highest order, he is well fitted for a Department Commander, Endowed with keen perceptive , faculties, exhaustless energy, an indomitable will, the bravery of Richard Ceur de Lion; daring yet prudent, thoroughly posted in gener- ^ , al and minor tactics and logistics., he is qualified for a field com- " ^ I j mander, A practical engineer, he is peculiarly fitted for supertending and directing siege operations and constructing defenses. Plain, kind-hearted, unostentatious and agreeable, there is in his manner and deportment none of that "atuck-up" repulsive, fuss-and-feathers, red-tape, "get-thee-behind-me-satan" style, so unfortunately common ^Co our distinguished military men. I would not draw the line of 11- ^ liberal comparison, or attempt to filch one laurel won by their heroism and gallantry; for every loyallowan is justly proud of our Cur- ■i* tie* Herron, McKean, Lauman, Warren, Tuttle, Elliott, Crocker ftnd Van- 'Ha dever, Their deeds of noble daring upon many sanguinary battle-fields.

The particular example of pillage and devastation of which vie will recount the leading particulars, embraces the doings of the cavalry ■ brigade under command of Colonel Cornyn of which a detailed and admiring account appeared in a late number of the St. Louis Democrat. This mounted brigade left Corinth, ^iss., on one of the last days of May, "for the purpose of making a path of desolation through a sec tion of country not heretofore traveled by our forces." It was the intention (to quote more of the select language of the narrator) to play the devil generally," and to leave on the minds of non-combatant people, a vivid impression as to what war really is." The brigade was five nights in the saddle, and in that brief space their aboli tion eulogist claims that among other acts of signal vengeance they -/tee burnt seven cotton factories (all private property) costing an avar- ' I t age of $200,000 each; the largest of these, containing three hundred looms, being valued at $1,000,000 and employing hundreds of men, worn- * en and children.

Great numbers of slaves were brought away, but this was a matter of course. • ' %ti'4V ■ Tbe administration knows perfectly well that such practices are an outrage upon civilization. The rules drawn up with its sanction, • ^ by Professor Lieber, for the government of the army, pointedly con- ^ I » ^ demn them. General-in-Chief Halleck says in his work on international law, that, "while there is some uncertainty as to the exact limit to our right to appropriate to our own use the property of an enemy, or to subject it to military contributions, there is no douby whatever respecting its waste and useless destruction. This is forbidden •I! alike by the law of nature and the rules of war." Vattel is still more emphatic, and calls such practice "savage and monstrous excesses." All the recognized a thorities speak of them in terms of oonbrtc demnation and horroy, and yet it was one of the standing topics of ab olition invective against General McClellan and General Buell that they discountenanced and refused to allow such practices. The same fierce and diabolical fanaticism with which compelled the administra- €ion to displace these Generals, is forcing it into modes of warfare 1 ■ which disgrace the country, and are a erime against civilization.

Doubtless the rebels will fafl. in very readily with the opinion. They dislike the operation quite as much as the New York journal, and will heartily endorse, ahy proposition it j * advances in the course of its denunciation.

Gdneral Dodge." General Dodge's Exploit. iXV5 One of the most daring and successful exploits of the war was late lijl. ly performed by our former townsman, Gen. Dodge. Starting from the ^camp at Corinth, or near it, he penetrated the enemy's country two hundred miles and struck the only railroad which directly connects Vicksburg with Rebeldom in the Bast. Here he destroyed about twdnty miles of the track, which it will take a long time for the rebels to neT re-build. This feat is a very important one, as it cuts off Vicksi>urg from reinforcements from the Eastern States, and also from any .ynMlM safe line of retreat. This exploit is fully as daring and important as the famous feat of the lamented Gen. Mitchell at Huntsvilie. Gen. Dodge afterwards captured Tuscumbia, in Alabama. The news of ggfij ijthla succeaaful raid oomeB to us gt a very opportune moment, while we ijnder depression from the misfortunes at Fredericksburg, It is a j-sar palatabl gweetning of that cup of bitterness. We shall hear further from Gen. Dodge, who will wear more laurels on his head and more stars on his shoulders. From Boston Journal, (6DR43)i . j tart I**© , While disappointment throws its |;|j^adow over May, 1863. .KimI §0ltr. part of the military field, successes enliven another. In the latter category must be prominently numbered the gallant and most im portant raid into the rear ©f Vicksburg, performed by.Gen. Dodge, who is a native of Massachusetts. Proceeding from the vicinity of Corinth Gen, Dodge penetrated the enemy's country two hundred miles, uhtil he struck the important,railroad v/hich connects Vicksburg with Richmond ••"and the rest of the Southern Confederacy to the eastward. He fell up on the line between Jackson (fourty four miles from Vicksburg) and ***" Meridian, and tore up and destroyed some twenty miles of track, viiiich ,^^'it is said, it will take more than a month to repaid. A glance at the map win show that this was the only unlnterMl rupted railway communication of Vicksburg with the rest of Rebeldon.^ The garrisol relied upon it for receiving reinforcements from TenJmS-i « Ml ■ nessee and Virginia, and for escaping with their war material, should Gen, Grant promise to succeed in his new tmdertaking against Vicksburg, It is no wonder that one of the rebel papers pronounces this the most daring raid ever taide t,y the Federals, Is at least only paral lelled by the lamented Mitchell's seizure of Huntsville, But beside this advantu»o. Gen. Dodgo has also captured Tuscumbia, in Alabama, near the head of navigation on the Tennessee river, a point of great "importance to hold at this tim-^, "tfell may the loyal public refuse to be cast down when such evidences of vi gor and capacity on the part of our heroes are constantly coming to light, Qen. Dodge's Kxpedition, Tuscumbia, Ala, (CDRSS); A correspondet^^ aa ' Sm May, 1863. • Ju ♦ 4, '■ Of the N. Y. Herald gives a detailed account of the expedition of Gen. - Dodge from Corinth to Tuscumbia Ala. The expedition left Corinth April 15t , marching seventeen miles the first day, having only a slight skirmish with one of the enemy's outposts. The next day the T'ftOl I . , expedition reached Big Bear Creek, where a large force of the enemy's ^ was stationed to contest the passage of the stream, which is full sixtf - "ty yards wide and not fordable. The place was strong one for defense but on the 17th Gen. Dodge succeeded in forcing back the enemy, number ing aix thousand, with five pieces of artillery, after a sharp fight, and throwing a birdge across the stream, on which his corrraand passed Xa bx ■ over. Another stand was made by the rebels two miles beyond the ri- ^ ver, and a severe flight ensured, in which our troops were again vic- ^ torious, the enemy making a precipitate flight. Gen. Dodge continued ~'j*- ■ , to advance, having almost daily engagements with the enemy, and on the 24th reached Tuscumbia, driving the rebels out of town by a cavalty charge. mt' Our dispatches today state (on rebel authority) that Gen. Dodge subsequently fought another battle at Tusctunbia, in which the bebels were defeated, and that an expedition sent out toward Rome, Ga., under , _ Col. Straight, has been captured by the enemy, after a gallant and pro- , I aO T c-' longed resistance, * ' -9 •Fullahoma, Tenn., May 5th, 1863. To Gen. S.

Skrimishing continued on ■ :e<SPWri 19th, 20th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd. V night of the 19th, the enemy landed troops at Eastport from large number of steamers, and burned the town and houses on several plantations. On the 24th Rhoddy fought them. Their loss was heavy, ours slihgt. He contested every inch of ground , but, falling heuBl.< before overwhelming forces, the enemy advanced and entered Tuscumbia on the 25th. The enemy advanced twward Decatur, as far as . Town Creek, tt.. Nothing more occurred until the 28th. On that day Forrest with his brigade, having been ordered by me from Coltimbia, arrived and eni tftbnv ,. gaged them all'day, with th loss of one dead and three woTinded. The loss of the enemy was heavy, Forrest falling back. « On the 28th Forrest discovered a heavy force of oavlary under Col. Straight marching on Moulton and Blountsville. Gen. Forrest pur sued this force with two regiments, fighting him all day and night at Brivers* Gap, at Sand Mountain, with a loss of five killed and fifty wounded- Captains Forrest and Thompson, It is feared, mortally.

An Instance of Forethought. Gen. Dodge when returning froir an expedition of two weeks, arlUb ■ rived on the banks of a large creek, and a regiment was ordered to ford the stream, and guard the opposite side, while the engineers con jc structed a bridge. The march had been a very long, dusty one; consequently wading in a stream four feet in depth was not likely to be . ■ • ' t Injurious, or in any way to detract from the good appearance of the troops. After all the companies had crossed, the General came down to see how the bridge-builders were getting along, and observing a soldier Xalc: loitering close to the water, making no effort to plunge in, inquired "Come sir, can't you stem the current"? "Yes, sir," replied the soldier, slowly changing his rifle from a 4 Aw j "right shoulder shift" to a "shoulder", and coming to attention. "Why, then, don't you cross and get out of the way", asked the Gen. "• l.!!3o«oa luHi .

Dodge's headquarters, around which the troops v;ere massed in close colurn. The day was clear and beautiful, with a light cool breeze to modify the heat of the sun. Gen.

He gave his plan, and also narrated what he had accomplished down the river.

I then ■'** ' ' 4 . . . . . received orders tp eross my brigade, and push forward to support the "JMB ft . 1 ' ■ J' , f cavalry, under the direct com and of Col. Cornyn, which had already crossed, and engaged the eneBpy a mile or two in advance of ray com mand; two regiments crossing in deep swift water to near their arms, r « carrying their clothing and accoutrements on their bayonets over their heads. One regiment crosfed on a small boat. One regiment 39th Iowa, k « .i.. left (by order) to guard the ford. With three regiments I pressed on; am no > w ■ informed that the oalavry would not pursue the enemy that even- ' >1 more than two miles, w|ien I would go into camp with our cavalry. I soon distrinctly hee^rd firing on my front, and knew that it could * iOI r--» o . not lass than three or ; four .*1- 1 miles , , distant. I pressed on as rapidly t I- May, 1863. as my command which was in fine spirits, could march, 1 had gone two miles, when I received an order' from the Genl. Comdg. and on n-icdt? reading it I foxmd it was directed to Col. Cdrnyn, but was to be read ' by mysolf, before being sent forward to himj The purport of the order was for the Col., not to advance further than from three to five miles, 'as there was an enemy on the left which he alone could not meet, I sent the orderly on with the order, and pushed bn as fast as I could ma&ch, still hearing the fighting in front although it was growing more distant. On arriving at Dixon^s station, I learned that a large ^ 'force of cavalry and artillery had filed into the road at Cherokee in • \ Cor nyn*s rear. I pressed forward as rapidly as possible, and soon reached Cherokee, where my skirmishers exchanged a few shots with ^ T . >«of» ; frhe enemy's read guard, and soon dispersed them, capturing two prisoners While here, I received a request from Col. Cornyn to serid a battery forward to his assistance, and I immediately ordered Capt. Wei- 'ker to move forward as fast as the Jaded condition of his horses • «VIS t ' — If would permit. Hurrying forward I eoon came up with Col. Cornyn, who had his * command in line'of battle a cross the field at Hewsons^. The enemy • t»B a, ^Qj.Q in line about a quarter of a mile in his front, but as soon as -rrewe * ' ■ Welker's battery moved into the field they moved back. I immediately moved the 7th Illinois into the timbbr on the right, and the 50th and rt 57th Illinois on the left of the field, and requested Col, Cornyn to fall back with the cavalry, hoping the rebels would attempt to I ji$e May, 1863. "ic I could thus decoy them into a position where my infantry 014^ , would have a cross fire upon them. As soon as the cavalry had fallen ll|,t back, the van guard of the enemy came forv/ard Into the field apparent noti^ ly unconscious of danger, but as they arrived opposite on(8 of my regiments, some of the men, without orders opened fire upon them, disabling a number of men and horses; but unfortunately for us, discov ering our position to the enemy, who immediately fell back out of the range of our guns, and opened fire upon us with their artillery, but U Itrf H" were well sheltered did us no damage.

Town Creek. Shortly after sunrise, Tuesday morning, the enemy who were JnoT ' in force on the opposite side of Twon Creek, opened upon us with his "ISfr'i V^rtillery. I immediately ordered Capt, Richardson to take a position i his battery as neiBr the enemy as possible, and open fire, which -vc:" he did. The artilleri^ firing was kept up on both sides xintil after- ' noon, * ^ .. Strd 4 gy ^inaction of the General, I constructed a foot bridge over the '"^-Vreek in my front, and about 3 P.

Keeping out skirmishers about two hundred paces in front, I advan ttif ■ d oed about two miles across a large field.

On our arri"\^al there, wC found that the enemy, variously esti-i ^ May, 1863. • L > aiated as to strength, had been repelled, and that the 1st Ala. cavalry iinder Capt. J. C. Cameron had started in pursuit. At Glendale we were -vat Joined by the 9th Ills. Mounted Infantry, coJnmanded by Lt.COl. J. J. jfj . Phillips, who reported to me and joined in the chase. We di^ove the % enemy through and beyond Burnsvillej overtaking at this place the 1st Ala. Cavalry, where we left them Tinder orders to repair a bridge over Creek, and guard a forage train that was expected to arrive at tthat point, during the night. The balance of the command pushed on in close pursuit after the flying rebels, pausing only at night-fall, mnd going into camp about four miles west of luka. It migh not be ^. ► imoroper here to remark that, but for the fact that the almost impass— « ^ • J able condition of the roads, at some points, prevented the moving as * fast as desirable of the Howitzers attached to the 10th Mo. cavalry or ^nif» we would have come up with the enemy's force on that day, and driven r I him to or beyond Great Bear Creek. On the following day, Wednesday the 15th, we moved through luka, to C<j0k'8 farm, on the M^phis and Charleston Railroad, and went in to camp to await orders. About ten o'clock that night, we wdre join- ^♦,ed by the let Ala. Cavalry. On the afternoon of Thursday the 16th, the whole of the command of Brig. Gen. G- M.

At the creek a halt i bite J i(t - May, 1863. ^ ^ . ^ was made, and after some shelling of the oppbsite shore, the cavalry were ordered to ford, which was immediately done, and lYith alacrity. ' The 9th ■'^lls. Muxmted" Infantry, still •formed a portion of the cav alry brigade, which at this time consisted of the 10th Mo. cavalry, th 4 . 1st alabama cavalry, the 15th His. cavalry and the 9th Ills. Moxinted Infantry; amounting in all to about one thousand "and fifty fight ing men. The creek was crossed without any opposition, our batteries still shelling the opposite side and many of them falling amongst this * command, but fortunately no one was hurt. I immediately started out 9n the road to fuscumbla; having previously ordered two squadrons of the 10th Mo. cavalry and a company 6f the 0th Ills, Mounted Infantry to take a road leading off to the left and north of the main road; to| io ■ ■ . develop the enemy should it turn out that he had taken that route, as some of his flying pickets had moved off in that direction. Deploying skirmishers on my right and left flanks, and throwing out videttea to my front, I moved on rppidly towards Tuscum- , , . bia. At a distance of about a mile and a half, my advanced skirmish ers came up with a small squad of the eriemy and drove them on down ^ the road, for a distrance of about four miles; the enemy frequently showed himself in line across the road directly in front of us, but always out of range of our rifles, until we reached Dickson, and a ^,aittle beyond that point ho engaged our advance guard; add in order to close up my column, let down the fences, I deployed to the right and left of the road, l'ordered Capt. Tannerath of the May, 1863. 1st Mo. Light Artillery, who had re ported to me with a section of his -nt «i'battery, to open on them v;ith shell, v^iich he did v/ith good execution. Here Lieut. B Kaine of the 10th Mo. cavalry was hit in the neck o.tljy a glancing ball, but very slightly hufct. Several of the rebel force tuJ fttt were wounded at this ooint, and one of them left upon the field was Xlnd found by us severely wounded in the leg by a shell. He afterwards • ..py, d^d. After a few rounds from the battery, the enemy hastily retired Q* closely pursued by us until he reached Buzzard Roost, where he reformed across the road, his right and left flanks extending into the - woods, and his left flank was massed in considerable force. Here we ,.1 , threw a few shells and scattered his left flank into the woods. I "j ordered Lieut, Col. Phillips to dismount and deploy his command to the loft of the road, as skirmishers to dislodge the enemy's right. Groat « praise is due to lleut. Col, Phillips for the manner in which he ex- , ecuted this order, he himself acting with commendable coolness and comr'ago, and hie officers and men exhibitAng all the characteristics f of true bravery. They advanced to within short musket range of the * * < • r> enemy and by their cool and deliberate firing succeeded in driving him on. He was Immediately pursued by the cavalry, with slight skir mishes beyond Barton gtation, and on to within a short distance of Cane Creek where the command halted in a clover field, to rest our - animals and men. In the mean time the two sqaudrona of the 10th Mo. cavalry, commanded by Capt. P. Naughton and Lieut. H. C. ''cCullough, and the company of Mounted Infantry under Lieut. R. Patterson, proceeded May, 1863. .fm' , 'i lo >by the route already indicated, and came upon a force of the enemy . t trio drove them to and beyond what was said to be the camp of the reI 'O'MSi ^'''bels. Col, Hoddy whose force the was estimated-at about six hundred ?*OTo"l Xsi-^men, In driving them, owing to the greater distance they had to make -they forced them out on the main road, and into our rear. Here an un ■ fortunate affair occurred, which, as it could not be helped, can only . hii . *. ' to deplored. Just after the skirmish at Buzzard Roost, Cfipt. Tannorath reported to me that he was out of ammunition, I directed him to send back word for his caissons to come up with a supply, and /in the ' meantime for the guns to fall to the rear to keep them from being in ^ ' "the way of the cavalry; intending that he should move immediately in 'the rear of the cavalry. Either owing to the misunderstanding of th^ oj, the fatigue of the horses, the guns,«instead of following yp directly behind, fell to the rear to the distance of nearly two miles; And when the flying rebels thtt wero being driven by Capt, IB B ^ ^ d Naughtbh's command came upon them, the guns which were under the charge of Lieut, Bruner of the battery, were charged, and after all ' the resistance that could be opposed to them, by a company of the 9th Ills, which had been f^dered to guard them, they were tkane, together with the most Of the gun support, The Vhole''number of men lost by us Eere"'amounted to fortjj three, i! including Lieut, Edward ®reba, who commanded the company guarding the u. . flhile my animals and men were resting, as already stated, wbrd came to'4e or the attack upon our rear, and the taking of the May} 1863. n# bt," €^3* ^ imnedaitely ordered the 1st Ala cavalry, Capt, J. C. Cameron • t .to move down the road to our rear and attack the rebels, and recap- T £ f ture if possible the guns. Ordering the 15th Ills. Cav. Maj. Gilbert and Capt. Burn's squadron of the 10th Mo. Cav. to follow, and leaving tJEi • - , Lieut. Col. Phillips' comrand and the remainder of the 10th Mo, cav- <1* ®If ' ' ; . . airy under Lt, Col. Bower to protect the front, I moved out on the HI# < road and soon cane in sight of the enemy with the two guns, when I - _ ordered a charge by the 1st Ala Cav,, which, I am sorry to say, was not obeyed with the alacrity it should have been. After charging to mmt within short musket range of the enemy, they halted, for some cause T .1 # . I cannot account for, and the enemy escaped to the woods with one of the pieces, and timber of the other, it having previously been thrown down the railroad excavation. Here Capfe, Cameron was killed, and a . . private of the lOth Mo, Cav., and one of the 1st Alaa Cav., but not ftni I until after they had desisted from the charge, when the enemy turned and poured a perfect hail of lead into our ranks. About this time six men of the 10th Mo. that I had stationed by order of Gen. Dodge to guard the house of one Mr. Goodloe, were taken by the enemy .The enemy having fled to the woods kept up such a constant fire upon us W \ that I ordered Capt, Burns with hia squadron and the 15th Ills. Cav. flit 'j ■ . into a field, with Instructions to move towards the edge of the woods and return the fire, I also ordered the Howitzer squadron into the . ■ - aape field to shell the woods, which was done with great credit to of fioera and wen, doing fine execution. In order to prevent any move29^ , , May, 1863. ' *- ■ merit of the rebels from dividing my command, as they ouh-tiumbered us, nearly three to one, I ordered that position of my command which I had left to the front to close in on the balance, and moved back down the road nearly'a mile, so placing the enemy once more on my front. Here I halted, and ordered my command to move irito a field in column of squadron. This had hardly been accomplished when the en01 :4:- emy was seen in line of battle on the brow of the hill about a mile distant from us, and moving towards us; I at once ordered out my fore into a field inunediately to the east of the one occupied by us, vith orders to form and wait the demonstrations of the enemy. Here allow me to say that it has been erroneously reported that at this juncture . "t I sent back for reinforcements. I did not do so, for at no time did I feel that my force was inadequate to beat the rebels; btt on the . . . contrary, I had the fullest confidence in my officers and men, and felt that I could hold my ground; and even drive the enemy 4ith them ■ .p should I choose to do so. At this juncture of affairs, Col. Bane arrived with a portion of •at. his brigade, vhen I requested him to order Capt, WAlver, 1st Mo,Light Mi . Artillery, to open on the rebels with a section of his battery nyr own guns being of too short range to reach them. While getting his guns lAto position, Capt. Walker's movements must have been observed <*.lt ■ ^ a. ^ • by the enemy, for he inunediately began to'move to the right and left. aO Hi. ^ A portion of my command immediately charged them, and drove them -•rm Tfr* to their usufld rtielter, the woods. All my command was moved simulta-^R I May, 1863. * 'i*» - • , neously towards the enemy; the mounted infantry .on the north side of the railroad and the cavalry on the south side. Here a brisk firing . . . . ^ ^ . was keptup by musketry on both sides, until I ordered the mounted - howitzers to move up in range, and shell the brush, which was obeyed promptly, and I had the satisfaction of seeing the enemy's fire slack en, and in a few minutes quit altogether. Moving my command still further to the east, and facihg the enemy, I consulted with Col. Bane for a few minuets, and it was decided to fall back beyond a slight hill to our rear, so as to conceal our force, leaving the 9th Ills. Mounted Infantry and a regiment of Col. Bane's c^mmand concealed in qmbush; the former on the north side of the railroad, and the latter I in the woods, lately occupied by the enemy on the south side. At the same time the artillery consisting of Wclker andRichardson's batte- .rfltJX ries, with their'horses concealed behind the hill, was to be placed o£j*u|k battery just on its brow. At this time, and while the prelimina- ' m - pies were being arrapged, the enemy opened on us with a piece of artillery. However, the arrangements agreed on were carried out, and in o,:^ about half an hour, aftej all had settled down in quietness, the en omy made an attempt to mpTO towards us, when the two infantry regi- „ "fflonts, which had beeuvleft conceals^, opened upon ^hem, emptying many ^ saddles and driving them in dismay. Night was now coming on, ; when we were Joined by the balance of Gen. Dodge's command, and went into camp for the night; the two reftiments of infantry already «pokeci of wmalning in their concealment all night, k . ci f .ie ■TPI May, 1863» .nMi fv ^ The casualties happening to my*dOE^^a were very few. Our killed r' ' > . ■ •' t r. • i ' were Capt. J. C. 'Cameron and two privates. In the unfortunate matter 'f ' ■ , . i; of the capture of the guns,' we lost forty five taken prisoners, ineluding Lieut. Krebs, coirmanding the guard. The loss of the enemy was heavy, 'but I have no official means of getting at the Oiact number. ■•'I * M . ' On Saturday April 18th, in pursuance of instructions from Gen, •O*'' *Doctge, my command was'moved out toward Cane Creek, but dir! not pro- ^ ^ It f t i.

I did, reaching that placd ' and going into camp about night-fall. On the following day, Stinday '^^,i9th, on the receipt of orders from headquarters, ^I started with my ^ r,'' .. *■ ' . command, now reduced by the loss of the 1st Ala. Cav», which had been .' y ^ ordered to report to Col. Banej and Capt. Ford's squadron of the 15th. s' Ills, Cavalry, which'wqs doing dutyfor Cten. Dodge, and taking a guide I . moved by an unfrequented road around to Buazard Roost Creek, hoping V "ft' ? means to take the enemy in the rear. Owing, however, to the high stage of water in the creek, I was not able to cross it at the ' point desired, and by thfet means t emergedfrom the woods directly in the enemy's front, and hear the widow Barton's plantation. Here Is' a field and in the road tho enemy was drawn up to receive us. I y Bent forward the 15th Ills. Cavalry, Maj. P. T. Gilbert to skirmish *'ir. Ti ' I > . with the enemy, and ordered Lt. Col.

At the same time : directing Major Gilbert to move gradually to the right to support him that flank. We gradually moved on the enemy, driving him to Buzzard Roost, and on the summit of the hill he made a halt, I at once - ke « -ordered all hands to charge which was done with a yell, the enemy ret' -iO'c ■.. tiring even more rapidly than we advanced. He again s" owed h'nself -i«/oair"'tn line at the edge of the woods nearly a mile distance. Here I order T ® halt, and after several ineffectual attempts to drav/ him out, I r. if ' concluded tp fall back to camp. On our way back, v;e found the dead b.:M t bodies of five rebels, lying at the place of our first encounter. We jjjvi also captured a prisoner; the bearer of dispatches. • "■1 mt.w Monday, the 20th, my command lay all day in can^) at Bear Creek. » - .— On this day the 7th regiment of Kansas Cavalry reported at my head- .* • ■ ' t . quarters for duty. .

Owing to the difficult nature of the road, T and the greater distance travelled, my command did not reach Tuscum- ^ -bia iintil after the infantry and the main body of our force. Here I received instructions to move On through the town, taking with me the two squadrons of the 7th Kansas, that had preceded the command, and pursue the'enemy towards the East. Thd 15th Ills. Cavalry having gone with the 9th Ills, Mounted Ififantry towards Florence, I also was ^ ^ ^ structed to destroy as much as possible and return by night. In pursuance of the above orders, with my command, consisting at * this time of the 7th Kansas and 10th Mo, Cavalry, ritunbering in all ixaiei hundred* men, I moved out towards Ldighton, on the Memnhis and Charleston railroad. About one" mile frola Tuscumbia, we came upon the enemy's trail, and distinctly saw traces of artillery. Moving 1© iit" , i X, on rapidly in ptirsuit, following the trail across seven plantations, until about four miles east of Tuscumbia, we struck the enemy, himt»<r • self. He rapHLy retired, wo pususing. t here deloyed the 7th -Utitd aw X < •o-'' Kansas under Lieut, Col.

These'last named squadrons T'itf/r.. . , I kept in the center under my own immediate command, to use when occasion required, as chargers. The enemy retired a distance of about a mile towards Leighton, » r > *, and here' on the edge of a wood, to the right of the road, he had plactc.f . ed a piece of artillery, which opened on us the moment we got in range; his line of battle extending some distance to the right and left. At this juncture I ordered my left o move on through, and ' r'-K> r around the woods on the left of the road, that lay between it and fc the enemy, which was obeyed with alacrity; perceiving which t*he rebels, after a few rounds of musketry f*rom us retired. About a mile from this point, they reformed across the road, and opened on us with musketry and several pieces of artillery. I moved up the mountain howitzers close enough to give them range,and opened with shell and case shot upon their battery, my right and left wings steadily ad- ^ Vancing all the time. I soon had the satisfaction of seeing them -Vtj'' draw off their artillery, just previous to whic, however, a charge was made by a squadron'on m;^ left, belonging to the 7th Kansas, around ' a clump of woods, that partially concealed them from the enemy. The success of this charge was frustrated by the commanding officer ^ Capt. L, H. Nutte, receiving a severe wound in his"foot from a sharp- ' nell from one of the Enemy's guns. After drawing off his.artillery, he 1 retired at It dlstanoe of about five hundred yarde, and placing it be- " hind 8Q9I0 deserted im^ garters, Sigaln opened on us with redoubled I evn ••eat# -,s tn- f ■ May, 1863. .SMix , fury. Ordering a dismounted squadron of the 7th Kansas, and a squdd -c»o ron of the 10th Mo. to support them, I moved my howitzers to thfe front and opened a steady fire upon their battery, from a very short range and soon succeeded in silencing every one of their guns. This artil- -r ■ lery duel lasted from twenty to thirty minutes, and in the mean time my right flank was steadily approao-iing the enemy's line, and exchang ing shots with it. While the cannonading was going on, a corporal of the 7th Kansas was killed by a shell, and a corpo ral of the 10th , Cavalry was wounded severely in the foot. After the enemy cased firing from his artillery, he rapidly withdrew it from the field and ' retired from his position on to within a short distance of Leighton, where he again foamed many of his men massed in the road, and his |>fi, wings extending far to the right and left. Here a charge was made by my right wing upon the enemy's line which was formed in a field ' Immediately behind a fence. They charged up close to the enemy", and ' within short pistol range, and succeeded in driving and wounded sev eral of them. On this charge Lieut, Jno, S.

In the mean time on the road f our battery had approached to within range, and sent a few shells in- ' -TWirtato the enemy's dense column on the road, putting him to a rapid fle- • • I xf ^ttatireat. From this on» he retreated rapidly, moving through Leighton in f ' - ''apparent dismay* At this place I learned the approximate force of ' ^ his comman44 vlt etftumtad ^f Forrest, Rhoddy, Baxter and Julian's commands, aMOunting as I am Informed to about three thousand five hun^ May, 1863. . dred men. The enemy did not pause tmtil about four miles east of Leighton, where he formed in line of battle, at an extreme eastern .,.edge of an immense plain, some two miles square. Here his line of ^ ■ * , battle seemed to extend from, horizon to horizon, . It now having approached towards sunset, the enemy in full si^t, o# ■ - I did not deem it prudent to return to Tuscumbia but sent back a messenger to Gen,T.W.Sweeney, stating my position, and asking for ret'*. , inforcements fend some heavier artillery, and placing my pickets, went into camp for the night, the men sleeping on their arms. At early daybreak next morning, gaturday the 25th, a portion of , ^ ,,the 9th Ills. Mounted Infantry, Col.

Here we remained in camp the follow ing day, Sunday the 26th, when in pursuance of orders, with the 10th .Mo. and 7th Kansas, I proceeded to Bainbridge on the Tennessee Rtver with orders to destroy any moans of crossing that stream that I should find. Nothing of this kind, however, was found, and we returned o t « ^j,^scumbia, reaching there Just after nightfall. On Monday the 27th, taking the advance of the main force, wo njiarched from Tuscumbia to Town Creek, our advance guard skirmishing ^^.wlth the enemy at that point.

I immediately threw out to my right and left and an advance guard in the "t".' front, I moved down a lane to the left and south oT the town, and massed my command in an open field, about six" hundred yards from the southern border of Tupello, Here word was brought me from one of my skirmishing squadrons, that the enemy were drawn up in line on their -ci front, to the number of six hundred. I ordered two squadrons of the 7th Kansas thajf were armed with Colt's revolving rifles to dismount, ®'and attack them on foot, suppoting them with two squadrons of the i6th. Mo., mounted, under Lt. Col. Bowen, with orders to charge with ^ the sabre as soon as the enemy'*a line should break.• (this order I am proud to spy was well obeyed and gallantly executed by'"both the moun ted and dismounted soldiers, for the enemy retired, and for a few '*■ minutes all was silent along the llhea. In about half an hour from the first attack sharp fi ing was heard on my front, and the enemy was advancing towards us with yells. I Immediately moved my whole force to the rear and west of the village and placing my mouttain howitzers upon the brow of a hill, I sent forward all-the caval-y satOegpt one "^e^uadron of the IBth Ills, which I ordered to dismount and support the '^battery.

And this important trust was well sustained. As soon as my front had become fully engaged with the enemy, who fought with considerable determi nation, I ordered the battery to shell the woods from whjkch the enemy was emerging. This fire was effective, and from that moment the bat tle became general. At one time two regiments of moimted infantry. It-- . commanded by the rebel General Ruggles, forced their way between my V" fighting column and my reserve, but were suddenly induced to retire much more rapidly than they came. My left at one time fell back to- . wards the battery, which then pourAd in charge after charge of cannis- * ' ter into the rebel ranks with considerable effect; forcing them to retreafe rapidly followed by the cavalry. The enemy had sc afcely be gun to waver, when his whole force fled in dismay, throwing away thel arms, coats and hats. Our loss amounted to one killed, five wotinded and three missing. We took from the enemy eighty-one prisoners, in cluding threecommissioited officers< On the field, the scene of the rntm • battle^ immense quantities of arms, coats and blankets were found and . destroyed by us.

A former * 1 letter(which failed to reach you) told of the promptness with whidi General Dodge executed his part of the plan, crossing Creek in the at f ■ fact of the enemy, where the stream was so wide and deep that „ ammunition and supplies had to he ferried across, while the infantry ,,,had to wade, holding to a rope stretched across the stream, to keep inlvr 'itn from being washed down by the current. It was not until the afternoon of thd 19th, that Col. Strai^t nl V began to disembark at Eastport. During the interval. Col. Cornyn slightly exceeding his instructions, had pushed on some thirteen miles fj ! from Bear Creek, and was driving the enemy before him, when Roddy, who was some distance on his left flank, with a good force,fell upon , . his rear, and captured two howitzers out of ammunition, which had ,been incautiously loft too far in the rear. But as Col. Bane's infantry brigade was following Cornyn up. Col. Rgddy soon found himself be tween two fires, from which he only extricated himself with one of St'' the gxms and one caisson.

The next night. Gen. Dodge at'Town Creek, communicated with Col. Straight at Mb. Hope, and ascertained that he was all right. On Tuesday night. Col.Straight reached Moulton, and commenced crossing the mountains on Wednesday morning. He had secured 20 0 good mules in the Moulton va] ley in one *'«• day. Although he had two days the start, yet so long was he delayed ttwXir c getting equipped, that it is to be feared that his movements have been harassed, and if his design is not entirely frustrated, yet its ^ flift f"» I ' •»' full accomplishment may be prevented. This main design of the expedition being accomplished, and having flj?''' t ' ' placed'some days before, his command on hlf rations, in order to fulsupply Straight's Oommahd, d#n. Dodge returned to Tuscumbia, in or- *^er to reach rations on the transports at Eastport, But on arriving a£ Tuscumbia^ he learned that Van Dorrt had appeared on the opposite ai- side of the river, and as Colbert'Shoals was a dread to the gun-boats they had dro 'ped #own to Hamburg, and this compelled the transports • " to follow to escape Oapture. Of courSe Genera. Dodge hadno choice but to return to Corinth for j^rovisions. Having on his outward march taken the preoflnition to destroy all the ferries along the Tennessee, he made it impossible DOrn to cross in his rear, and So that May, 1863 .yaf chieftain moved up the river toward Decautr.-,. ^ On his return. General Dodge literally swept the coimtry of pro- ^^u^^visions and forage, live stock and negroes. It is estimated that he ' hurned one and a half millions of bushels of corn, much of which was shelled for transportation to the army; captured and destroyed 500,000 lbs, of bacon; captured 1,000 head of horses and mules, and an eqaul _ number of cattle, logs and sheep, beside supplying the whole command with meat for three weeks. He also burned every flat-boat from Savanhah to Decatur, on the Tennessee-destroyed the railroad and telegraph . between Tuscumbia and Decatur, burned five tan yards, six flouring milles, and finally, afforded the means of escape for 1500 blacks. In all this march the troops had five distinct engagements, with but a loss of 100 men, most of whom were prisoners. We took 50 pris oners, and the enemy's own account of their loss in one of the engageO ments is five killed and thirty pounded. The enemy was commanded by kwrt ." Roddy and forrest, and numbered at least 3,500, Yet they vere always driven by our cavalry alone Whenever we chose to attack them, although our cavalry force was less than half theirs, and they had also a good battery.

It is'fully a mile from the 27th, which is in the most northerly part, to the 39th, which is the most southerly, and about a mile from each to the river. "Scares" are quite common here. We have been under arms more times already than during all the time we Were in Corinth. Our detail for grand guard is 400 men, and to prevent men from 4 May, 1863. .iDCX ,^9*^ leaving camp and rushing into town we have to establish la^ge regimental guards, 'jatf* When we first arrived, half the men seemed determined to go on a bust, and to the best of my knowled":e and belief they succeeded. About 50 of tho 27th were tied together the day after I afrived, and a proportionate number of the 39th. The old soldiers in the reg ular battery, however, were the toughest subjects , and I have 13 of them at work at Port Pickering, and dieting on bread and water yet. Order is, however, now nicely established, and I have now no furth er cause to feel ashamed af the command. Last evening Gen. Thomas took tea at my quarters with the comdg. Officers of the brigade. My cook, Billy, did his best to beat all the confectioners in town (which is not so hard a joj) here where straw berries, ice-creeua &c. can be found in abundance) and the General entertained us with his "nigger" till 12 o*clock, so we had a gcod . . t a i .t time. Thus far I get along very pleasantly with the Generals over me, Veach and Hurlbut, but don't fancy very much the idea of garrisoning a city, oar nice horses we miss, and there is no opportunity here tor manoeuvering a brigade without marching two miles; io shall have to confine drill to company and battalion movements mostly, especially while it is so hot. I succeeded yesterday in getting some fair horses for the batteries, and we have found also some tents here. * c , ■ _ i. - • The Quartermasters are not all as pleasant as your Capt.

Officers, and then cause hir. to get an order from Col. Ney on Captain Somebody, who in turn gives an order on Capt.

It is only justice to you to say, that we hear on every side of your efficiency as a military commander. You may be sure that your friends in this section of the coimtry are not unnindful of the important part which you are taking in this contest, and that they feel that yoixr courage and ability have fairly earned for you the position of honor and trust which you now occupy. The dutiree of your position must be attended with many anx ieties and perils, but it must give you sincere satisfaction to bo able to inflict such h^avy blows upon the rebels, as they have been ■ J ' J r . «O ' , Msty f X8631 *Z!f compelled to recdive at yotir hand. The news of your recent cavalry raid in Alabama and Georgia, and the havoc and alarm which y ou were causing in rebeldom, came 'just as people were feeling very gloomy over the greatly exaggerated reports of the reverses of Hooker's army, and had a very inspibiting effect. The latelbrilliant exploits of the western cavalry, have eclipsed ail the rebel operations in that Ifne. All eyes are now turned with intense interest to the southwest The eecent federal successes on the Mississippi are causing us to expect the speedy capture of TTicksburg. We expect the Western Ai^my to be successful in all that it attempts. It has accomplished wonders and you may wdll be'proud ^ the determined viilor with which i has foTight'on all occasions, and of the almost uninterrupted scenes of brilliant victories it hasi - achieved. We were all disappointed that our army was again baffled rt in advance on Richm nd, but we still have 'alth in its commanding general, and believe that eventually it must triumph. I don't feel competent to discuss military affairs and will say no more about them. Your vignette is an excellent one, we all think.

It must be verj' pleasant and home-like for you to have all your family with you. Little Lettie and Ella, I should love dealy to see them. I have heard so much of them from Aunt Julia. •Summer weather seems to have come upon us in a moment. We have had cold, rainy weather, a pleasant day being the exception, until this week. Today it is oppressively warm, and the thermometer is 90 in the shade. The greater porition of the young men in town are in the war, otherwise South Danvers remains unchanged. The most important event now occuring is the bUilding of the horse railroad from here to Salem, nearly completed. Geo. P. Daniels has established hxmself in i Salem, so that this flourishing town cannot boast of one drygooda store. The ladies here, as elsewhere, are constantly employed in „ ipreparing comforts for the tounded soldiers, and have been liberally supplied with means to carry on the good work. We went to Rowley last week to attend Grandmother Dodge's funeral. We found Grandmother P. in comfortable health.

That certainly is not scarce. The trip from |, Memphis to this point, was terrible. It flew in such clouds that in less than an hour from tho time I started, I found myself white with it, my throat filled and my eyes blinded. Persons standing on the first car, could not possibly have seen the rear of the train through .j^^g^jthe volumnes of smoke that rose all round it. t , . We left Memphis about eight o'clock yesterday morning and travelled rather aXowly for some distance. We had not gone more than twenty miles before a report reached us that the track had been torn up Just .V, and a larg^ rebel force was waiting. This news was received lH|i which scouts had been sent T,^ y - May, 1863. out. More of our men were at Collierville, four miles ahead, and at ' this distance from the last named place, we found the track torn up, truly enough. Our guard was instantly put under arms, and sent for- * *' ward to examine into the damage, while all on board were momentarily j^sii it * "expecting an attack oh the train. Captain S. who went forward, said he saw four or five of the guerrillas, but no more, and it was deemed bdvisable to repair the damage as quickly as possible and proceed on t t I ' our way. Meantime the panic on board increased every moment. Several la- .'(«•£ p" - dies were frightened half to death- trembling, excited add in tearsexpecting to be shot or taken prisoners, and this within four miles ^^of their husbands, who, they said, were stationed et Colliersville. el* 1 endeavored to reason and calm them by saying alarm was useless. as we should retire at once to Germantown in" case of guerrillas Hi f should make thier appearance; but they were too thoroughly frightened to listen to anything and shortly afterwards a Colonel who was on board caiffle up and advised them to go over to a house a little dis tance from the road, where, should'we be attaclied, they might be com paratively safe. Of course, this confirmed the idea fet once of- impending danger, and they hastened rapidly away. I alone remained, much to the surprise of all. My liusband was on ahead with the other offi cers, and I reasoned at once that were an attack to be made and our ^ IMn too weak to repulse it , our flrkt movement would bif t'o back the cars to Germantown for more tro'ops, which movement would leave all w -.'n" May, 1863. who had taken refuge in the house, at the mercy of the rebels. In answer to their urgent request to have me accompany them, I stated "the fact and stated that I was not afraid anyway. I did not believe any attack would be made. From all information we could glean from the residents of the place, there had been but thirteen rebels there and their numbers had been greatly exaggerated in the re oort we re ceived below. Indeed, after this, I felt perfectly confident there was nothing to apprehend but the delay, and indulged in a little quiet amusement over the fright of my more nervous neighbors. They regard ed me as daring and reckless; indeed, I think that some of them im agined that I was slightly insane, to think of running through alone, arid braving, as they termed it, the "dangers of our awful situation." An hour or less served to repair the road, and the whistle soiinded to recall the men and passengers for going forward. They came in from all directions, some running some leisurely walking back at perfect east. Our party from the house ran for dear life, and reached us in as great a fright almost as when they left us.

It Is not known what was the enemy's loss in killed and woun(3ed. In addition to the burning above alluded to, all corn and bacon and supplies of every kind were destroyed along the route as far as practicable. Col, Hhoddy will find it difficult to subsist his men on that route. Five hxindred head of* horses and mules were captured; at least one hundred and fifty able-bodied recruits for the negro regiments were brought in, besides a lapge number of women and children. Our officers say that the negroes manifested the greatest desire tc come to Corinth and enlist, and it Is said that a full regiment could have been recruited there in a few days if our forces could have stayed. Hereafter our raids will have the new feature of being recruiting parties. The whole trip was made in five days, without , . .. ■ ..•a.: any loss except as above stated.

Correppondence of the Republican, Corinth June 1, (6DR48): On the 26th ult,, in the expedition consisting of the Tenth Missouri Cavalry, Seventh Kansas Cavalry, Fifteenth Illinois Cavalry, and Ninth Illinois Mounted Infantry, numbering in all not more than one ttm*- thousand men, left this place at eleven o'clock a.m. and arrived at Hamburg Landing on Tennessee River about dark. Two boats belonging to the Musquito fleet, were in readiness to convey us across the river and by ten o'clock, next day the entire expedition was safely on the other side. We then took up our line of march to Florence, Alabama, I forty-five miles distant, travelling that day and ni^t, and at one o'clock next day encountered the enemy with two pieces of aannon with .L * * in one mile of Florence, An engagement lasting an hour and a half -flu#?* . - took place, in which the enemy wore driven out of the town. The town of Florence was soon filled with soldiers preying upon everything conmlJ. .traband. We Had not remained in Florence more than two hours, when reports „of firing were heard on our right flank. Instantly the rear of the I . j column were deployed as skirmishers^ and soon found the enemy in conIkWj. 1 fiiderable force in the thick timber. It was not long before the ene09S r . . '-J' ' my retreated, but leaving us with four wounded. Preparations were then made and the cojlumn put in motion to leave the town on bur J-eturn trip, and take tha rojjd i^hichj^eator part of the enemy had left. 345 i- . ■ May. 1863. B'iftfk . .3, K ■ C ■ * ; r n ■ At dark our #iole colvunn was out of town. We did not march mo e than seven or eight miles, and during the ^ole time were skirmishing with the enemy; the moonlight afforded us great advantage in finding them out. It was during this night*s march' a party of rebels number ing thirty, came suddenly down a lane at the time our column was halt ed. So sudden was their surprise that quite a ntimber of them surren dered. The enemy had mistaken us for friends. Col. Gornyn commanded them to fall in. They inquired whose command were we, and suddenly a soldier spoke out, when they found their peculiar situation. At ♦ I the instant they commenced to retreat a dozen revolvers were playing on them, and quite a number were wounded. A Major and Captain were I , g among the prisoners, at two O'clock we encamped for the remainder off Ir . _ ■ ' ' the night, and early in the morning resumed our march. At one o'clock ■ A.M. 30th ult. we were safely on the banks of the river opposite Ham burg. We were delayed crossing until 11 o'clock next day at which time our commend cormBnced moving across. Wo had but moved four squadrons to the other side, when the dispatch boat reported that the Battalion of 15th Illinois cavalry numbering cnely one hundred and fifty men, under command of Major C'-rmlchael, whidh had been left to I ; Bcour the country while we were moving on Florence, were surrounded by a rebel force of eight hundred at Savahhah. Quick as possible two squadrons of the Seventh Kansas Cavalry were dismounted, and embarked on one of the gunboats tor Savannah, with the purpose of finding out the situation ofJUie Uith iSllnols Cafllry. " l^jwards evening they re-a May, 1863. T "rif -->6 turned with the supposed captured force. The highest impudence and worse cowardice yet shown, probably since the war, was the demand •>e.Tr- for surrender by Col. Biffle, commanding rebel troops near that point, the small party of 150 men. During the whole time, ou r crossing the river was being pushed through, but at four^o'clock in the afternoon we were attacked by a tOJi ■ 'large body of rebels, who were advancing rapdily down the road, we Returned on from Florence. Instantly Lt. Coj . Phillips of the 9th II- '' iinois Infantry, deployed his men on the right and left of the road, while one piece of our mountain howitzers was playing on the rebels the road. It was but an hour's firing when the rebels were c omp polled to fall back, o^r infantry pursuing them for a mile through the woods. In the meantime our picket® were driven in on the opposite Bide of the river, but by reinforcing them the rebels soon gave way. -■' For one hotir in the afternoon constant skirmishing was going on in our rear, and on right and left flanks; however, the rebels failed to us give way; with a force of 800 on our right flank, 400 on our '' ■>^left, and Rhoddy'a main force in our rear, variously estimated at . ;^^000. Our situation was extre«i»liy fearful, though we were aided in our (Crossing by two boats of tie tfoequito Fleet; still if we had been pushed to the.rlwar banks the gunboata could not have done much ex- ^ ecUtion, as the rang* of their guas would have shot far over the heads of the rebels, '*• ' ' , • ^ At two o'clock A.*.

No more skirmishing or firing och'Ourred until next morning, ^hen the rebels showed themselves on the I' opposite side of the river. They were soon driven away, when commenc ed the firing from the gunboats, they shelling the woods at a terrib?*.' ble ate for three quarters of an hour, completely routing the enemy. • ' We arrived in camp yesterday. May 31st, after being absent six days during which time we marched upwards-of one hundred and fifty miles, i and for the most part of the time skirmishing with the enemy. :It was > ,a very dangerous ttijfl-ertaking to cross the river and make a march to " Plorecne, as the enefiiy could soon coneantrate a force to completely surround us before we could accomplish our design in the expedition; but th'-^y wfere taken so much bji surprise, and not knowing the number ^ fQj^ce that thb^Wbt'e afraid to make much resistance in oppo sing us. .«»'U .j.ij tfA In our raid thoouigh'tHe country we destroyed all the corn and cotton, and also burned six large cotton and woolen- faatories, at Florence.

There is no doubt but at this time the Tennessee valley is lines with rebel troops, a s it was reported at the time that we were at the river that a body of 8,000 rebels were pushing after us . Our entire loss in the expedition was only two killed, eight woTonded and ten missing. That of the enemy must have been I.. . . ' ''reat, but I had no opportianity of ascertaining.

Review of 1936 Football Season The Thomas Jefferson Football Team experienced a mediocore season this year winning three out of ten games. The Yellowjackets played one of the toughest schedules in some years, playing Denison and Creighton Prep, two of the best prep teams in the Middle rest. Sept. 11-T. J. 0-Shenandoah 7 Sept. 18-T. J. 21-Glenwood 6 Sept. 25-T. J. 0-Denision 27 Oct. 2-T. J. 6-Creighton P.27 Oct. 9-T. J. 32-I. S. D. 12 Oct. 16-T. J. 0-North 7 Oct. 23--T. J. 6-Fremont 9 Oct. 29-T. J. 32-Hamburg 0 Nov. 6-T. J. 0-Benson 7 Nov. 11- T. J. 6-A. L. 7 The Yellowjackets opened the 1936 Football sea on, September 11, in a most dismal manner, being defeated 7-0 in a furious rain-storm at Shenandoah. A muddy ball handicapped both teams, so little could be judged about t heir playing ability. Coming back strong, September 18, T. J. took Glenwood into camp with a 21-6 victory. Wrig ht made the first Yellow jacket touchdown whil e Couppee tallied twice. Cogley, r unning 80 yards, made Glenwood's lone marker. The Yellowjackets journeyed to Denison, September 25, "'here they :received a shellacking at the hands of Bob Saggau and Company. The T. J. team wa incapable of breaking away from Denison. Wright made several Jong runs but was unable to score. A w ek later, October 2, t he Bluejays, of Creighton Prep, handed T. J. a defeat with Ols en scoring t h e Yellowjackets only counter in a 27-6 game. Thi score came early in the first quarter after which Ziesel, Creighton's star back, cored two Bluejay touchdowns. Prep exhibited a dazzling passing attack in the second half to manufacture two more. l!Jcrober ro~6 ZDhe ctAfonticello Saturday afternoon , October 10, the Yellowjackets routed the Iowa School for Deaf Boys to the tune of 32-12. The I. S. D. team was small but had plenty of fight and gave their larger foe a good game. Thomas Jefferson's next foe was North High of Omaha. The teams met, October 16,1 and for three long quarters it was a nip and tuck battle, with Gotthold of T . J. and Dunlap of North leading their respective teams. Then the break came in the fourth quarter, and North went home with a well earned victory. The Yellow.iackets found Fremont a bit to big a chunk to bite off, falling b efore a clever passing attack, 9-6, October 23. Fremont's scores came as the resuit of a pass and a safety. Thomas Jeffe:r.son's lone tally was the result of an intercepted pass. The following week, October 29, the Yellowjackets thoroughly trounced a large, but helpless, Hamburg eleven with a final score of 32-0. Thomas Jefferson opened the game with a long pass to Wright who galloped over for the first counter of the game. This fir t touchdown was fo llowed by several others, one a 98 yard run by Wright. The other markers were t h e result of clever laterals and spinner plays. The Benson Bunnies invaded the Yellowjacket field, November 6, and after thre cma rters of hard football, Brown of Benson, galloped 70 yards for t h e winning touchdown . This game was one of the roughest th:) Yellowjacket played during the sea on. In the last game of the 1936 sea ·on, the Yellowjackets bowed to their perenial rivals Abraham Lincoln, on Armistice Day, November 11. The score was A. L. 7- T. J'. 6. A toug h one to lose by one point. The game was characteristic of the games the two schools play with hard fighting and eagerness exhibited on both sides. The Abe Lynx touchdown came as a result of two passes, Tennant to Friar. T. J. foug ~ their way, down by down, to the seven y~rd line wh ere a line plunge netted the YellowJ acket touch-down. On t h e try for extra point Suder slipped, and despite his frantic efforts t he game was lost. 1936 Second Team Football Squad F irst row: Jen ks, Hallberg, Pierce, Riddl e, Nagel, Passer, D.

Fred was noted for his "swish" hots, and his ability to make et- ups. Following in his brothers' footsteps, Fred could always be counted on to corr:i through in the tight spots. This is Fred's la. t year, the last of the "Olsen's" and h e will be mi sed very much next year. Dick Oshlo-Guard-One Year Dick was forced to be a substitue guard, but saw plenty of action in the fir t team games. Dick could always be depended upon to work the ball t hrough the enemies' ~­ f ense, as well as ink long tosses. His dribbling a well as hi · swift passes were h is strong points. Dick has another semester and should occupy a place on the first team next season. Everett Stanley-Forward-One Year Playing on t he "B" squad, Everett was later moved to the Varsity. E ver ett saw plenty of service. He was noted for his good floor work, and will be missed n ext year. Paul Zoffka-Guard- One Year Paul started by being a manager, then he decided to earn a letter in basketba ll. H e came out in his senior year and played guard for the Yellowjackets. Paul could be depended upon to guard the basket and worked well on the offensive. This is Paul's last year of competition for the Orange and White. Albert Couppee-Center-Two Years Albert Couppee played the pivot position this year. Al could always be depended on to do his part in starting the offense to operating. His consistant hitting of the ba - ket made him the out ·tanding t hreat of the Yellowjacket squad. Al has another h alf year to perform in the Orange and White suit. George och-Forwar~ Two Years Shifted from guard to forward, Bud has showed his worth as a point getter for t~ e Yellowjackets. Althou gh handicapped by his shortness, Bud was extremely fast on his feet and broke up many of his opponents' plays. This is Bud's la t year to play for t h e Yellowjackets and will leave a hole hard to fill when suits are issued next winter. Ward Travis-Guard-Two Years Ward is an example of a hard working, faithf ul boy. Ward distinguished himself as a good passer and had the ability to cage long to ses. Although small, Ward h ad _a knack for getting the ball off the bankboard and starting the offense going . This is Ward's last year of competition and he will leave a big hole in th e Jefferson offense. Ted Bankus-Forward-One Year. Out ·tanding last year as a guard on the reserve squad, T d r eceived a first t eam berth t his year. Shifted from guard to forward Ted proved to be a real scoring threat for the Yellowjackets. Waiting till Red Johnson graduated, Ted stepped in and reall.Y showed his stuff. With such ability, Bankus should distinguish himself before his graduation. Harold King- Guard- One Year Harold, working with Travis, form d a combination hard to beat. He could always be depended upon to do hL part in guarding as well as start the offense to function. Harold had an eye for hitting long tos:es and free throws. This is Harold's last year and he will be sorely missed next year. John Herweg- Center-One Year A tall, lanky fellow, Johnny proved a very capable understudy to Couppee. John is a senior and has been on many Yellowjack t squads. Jack Neve-Guard- One Year J ack was "Th e Man in t he Iron Mask," for he waH the boy who wore a mask to protect his glasses. However his floorwork took ca.re of his appearance.

Since the first graduating c ass of 1966, the tradition of family has always run strong.at St. Albert. In the past few years, there have been many students that are children of St. Albert graduates. In the class of 1994 there are 12 students who have had one, or both of their parents, graduate from St. Albert. Through the years there have been many changes. When St. Albert first opened up, there were no co-ed classes, the girls were in what we now call the high school wing, and the boys were in the junior high wing. "The strictness of the rules has changed a lot since I was in school. The kids today get away with murder compared to what we got away with when I was in high school," said Mr. Heithoff, who graduated in 197 l. A lot of students fear the fact that people will expect a lot out of them because of whose child they are, but senior Katie Heithoff said, "I don' t think people really expect a lot out of me because both of my parents graduated so long ago. I don't think anyone will remember what they were like in school." Heithoff also said, "I think it's really neat that both of my parents graduated from St. Albert, and both my sister and I will also." Many things have changed here at St. Albert over the years, and many things have stayed the same. Although there have been a few things added to the building here and there, according to Mr. Heithoff, the schedule ha remained the same. Among the many things that have stayed the ame are the teachers. Junior high Engli h teacher, Mr. Gill, has been teaching here at St. Albert for 23 years, and Librarian, Mrs. Angeroth, has been teaching here for 22 yea rs. With every generation, the day of graduation has always been a day to look forward to. With a tear in his eye, Mr. Heithoff said, "As a parent, your child' graduation is one of those things that just sneaks up on you. I'm really proud I got the opportunity to graduate from St. Albert and J' m glad that Katie and Annie will get the opportunity to graduate from St. Albert as well." Above: St. Albert has changed in many ways, but SA in 1994 still looks a lot like it did when it was first built in 1963. SA had its first graduating class in 1966 but had its first graduating class to spend all four years at the SA building in 1968. Among the Generations Above: Mrs. Angeroth in 1974 .

Bottom Right: Mr. Gill pokes his head through a window to say "hello" to his 1973 Journalism class. Freshman Alex Estell takes a short break from his studies to grin for the camara. The Freshmen class itself not only noticed the changes of the school, but also the new environment as a high school students. 10 Changes come to St. Albert By Tom Hromadka Staff Writer As the year begins at St. Albert, there are people looking forward to the new season, and there are also those who think differently. Some new, noticable additions to St. Albert are the colorful lockers, and the newly carpeted Library and chapel.. Another attraction is new administration, Mrs. Wandersee is the new principal, and Mr. Jaworski is once again closer to the student body as assistant principal. The new year brings changes and new faces that will definitely help determine how the year will turn out for everyone. One of the most disappointing facts of the new year is the absence of the graduated seniors. Sophomore Matt Dinovo said, "I was angry because last years' seniors had a lot of good-looking girls, and I already miss them. " St. Albert does indeed miss them, but we're also glad they 're gone. A fear everyone faces on the first day of school is the question of transportation . Above: Sophomore Katie Hughes dreams of happier days in the summer, as Jordan Oder realizes school is unavoidable. Right: Senior Eric Fischer remembers he has left something on the stove as Mark Willms gets in the aim of the camara. Most of u drive. but there is always that car that the parents give that doesn't seem to want to wake up in the morning. Fortunately seni or Jeff Harringto n said, " the LTD is purring like a kitten." Unfortunatly, a week later the LTD was taken to the junkyard because of a bad carborator. The seniors always seem to enjoy the first day because of the rea li zation that the underclassmen are the irs. The thought of being abl e to tel I a freshmen to kiss their feet ends tingles down their spines. The seni ors will not have to kiss up to anyone, except the teachers, of course. As the year starts, everyone seems to hustl e around and question what the year is really going to be like. For the seniors, this is their last year here, and they better leave their mark. Senior Jeff Harrigton smiles as he puts his bags in his new colorful locker. The school lockers were all sanded and painted to help bring life to the academic wings. ----...,._ - -- Mrs. Angeroth lends a helping hand in the library as senior Megan McMullen looks on.

The Week of Weirdness By Shawn Jones Captious Editor It was to be a week of fun , festivities, and of cour. e, the homecoming of alumni. This year's Homecoming was everything it was expected to be. The week kicked off with P.J. Day. Students were looking good in their best morning attire and hair. Tuesday was a day of complete craziness. Students came dressed in the craziest outfits they could put together. Senior Gwen Gruber put a new twist in the craziness by wearing her school unifo rm. "What's crazier than wearing your uniform on a day that you don' t have to?" Above: Sophomore Toby Fischer and Freshman Charlie Narmi indulge themselves in applesauce, in honor of their class. asked Gruber. Wednesday was filJ ed with beautiful women and distinguished gentlemen as the students dre sed up for the Homecoming Mass. Everybody' favo rite day was Thursday, Disco Day. A day of hiphuggers, belJ bottom , and polyester leisure suits. The last day, Friday, was a day of spirit and cheer as the students wore green and gold to support their school and footbal l team. Homecoming is a time honored tradition that St. Albert students Jove. "It leaves me all warm and tingly inside, like when you wear pants fres hly out of the dryer," said senior Val Graeve. Above: Freshman Travis Lear and Paul Shannon clown around at the dance. Below: Wackiness even took over the faculty, Science teacher Julie Mooney poses with two juniors, Michala Haynie and Jenny Jones. -----Harvest Moon on the hill By Andy Murray Staff Writer Amidst tbe sound of children coming home and the football fans' cheers, students gathered to make high school memories under the Harvest Moon. The fall night was cold and cloudy, following tradition, but it made for a classic catillion. Freshman Jason Mathiasen said, "I had a lot of fun hitting on all the girls not having a date. Overall the dance was a barrel of laughs and monkeys." Freshman Charlie Graeve wans't nervou when he entered his first high school Homecoming Dance. Graeve said, "It was a laugh a minute!" This year new Homecornjng royalty wa crowned. St. Albert's fo rmer King Brendan Ryan and former Queen Amber Au. edemore presented the hallowed crowns to the new King, Tom Hromadka and Queen, Amy Davis. Hromadka said, "I thought I was going to drop the baU , but then I looked at (Shawn) Jones and fla bed my victory mile, I knew it was all right from there on." Davis said, "I wasn ' t nervous until I started walking in front of everyone." After bei ng crowmed, Davis said, "Unlike others I didn ' t have a first thought, my mind was a complete blank."

SA: A Family Of Friends By Carrie McGruder Feature Editor "Friends are friends forever if the Lord 's the Lord of them, and a friend will not say never, 'cause the welcome ill not end . .. " These words, frequently sung here at St. Albert, are an indication of how important -- friendship is to each of us. Everyone has their own definition when it comes to the meaning of what a true friend really is. Sophomore Jason McGruder said, "A true friend is an honest person you can count on to stick by you through tough times." To most people honesty and trust are the key factors in a friendship. We rarely realize how lucky we are at St. Albert, everyone knows each other, and we're a lot like a family. Sometimes we take this for granted because a lot of us don 't know any different, but it truly is something to be thankful for. One of the most important aspects of friendship is being there for each other. Going through rough times is a lot easier when you have someone to lean on. These times tend to bring fri ends closer. "Having to deal with unusual circumstances together and having to pull together in a rough situation brings people closer. They have to really stick together and help each other out," said senior Gwen Gruber. A friendship is one of the most valuable possessions we can have. Just remember to take time out and realize how lucky you really are.

Outside School Doors By Jennifer Mathiasen Copy Editor It's easy to stereotype our classmate by what we see of them at school. Grades, sports, plays, and other school-related activities give insight into who we are. But what about our lives outside of school doors? There 's a lot more to people than what we see them doing during class or during sporting events. St. Albert is home to many students with a variety of colorful hobbies and talents that aren 't often appreciated or even known about. Senior Jill Konz indulges in the unique hobby of rockclimbing. "It's wile!, because when you get to the top and look over the edge you totally fo rget about how high up you are and what a death-defying activity you are doing, " Konz expressed. Senior Chris Wredt spends his free time racing street stock cars at the Shelby County Speedway. "It gives me something to do that not everyone else is doing,'' Wredt said. Hobbies serve many purposes. They are Right: Senior Jill Konz displays her skills as a rockclimber at a r ockclimbing gym in Fayetteville, Arkansas. a way to ex press yourself, relieve the stre from daily life, or are just a way to have fun . Junior Joe Hargens, who was on a pit crew for street stock cars, said, " It re lieve a lot of my stress, but it can be stressful at the same time. " " I like music to be really spontaneous. To sit down without any forethought and pl ay something, relaxes me,'' senior Gwen Gruber stated , referring to her talent of singing and pl ay ing the guitar. Senior Erin Fuchser has been drawing and painting since the sixth grade . " It's a quiet atmosphere where I can get involved in my work, I really like it, when I'm not too busy to get to do it,' ' Fuchser said. Activities outside of school are an escape for us to do what we enjoy, and are also a good way to find ourselves. Everyone would benefit from taking the time to learn about and appreciate each other's talents and hobbies, and maybe even try a few of their own. Below: Senior Gwen Gruber feels right at home while exhibiting her talent of playing the guitar in front of a captive audience. Gruber also sings and plays the guitar at many school masses. Above: Freshman Ken Graeve practices his talent of painting. Graeve spends about ten hours a week on painting and other forms of artwork. Above: Mr. Shorey shows off not only his stunning physique, but also the tall trophy he won for being the winner of the 1993 Fantasy Baseball League. The Fantasy Baseball League participants pick different players from several different baseball teams and keep track of their statistics. Whoever's team has the best statistics by the end of the season is the winner. Other St. Albert participants are Mr. Mehsling, Mr. Schreiber, Mr. West, a nd Mr. Wettengel. A look at current events: What happened in 1993? 22 First Lady Hillary Rodham Clintion chaired the White House Task force that devised the health security plan. Thousands of Midweste rn fa rms and homes were lost, fi elds we re swamped and towns were destroyed by flooding. Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri we re hit hardest, causing billions of dollars in damage. Pope John Paul II j oined 200,000 young people from a round the globe for World Youth Day in Denver. Russian President Boris Yeltsin dissolved parliament and announced new elections. Riots brokeo ays~fte rthe nnouncementand Yeltsin called in the army to restore peace. After being enemies for three decades, Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization opened a new era in their blood-soaked history by recognizing each other's legitimacy. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabi n and the PLO chairman, Vasser Arafat, signed a treaty at the White House. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 60, became the second female Supreme Court Justice. She had previously been a lawyer for the ACLU Women's Rights Project in the 1970's. ' Leadi ng users of paper-based products took an environmental initiative and banded together to devise ways to increase the use of recycled paper and encourage their su1lpliers to use more environmentally sound methods to make paper products. In the battle over the North American Free Trade Agreement, there were three voices most heard. Ross Perot was the man most associated with being against N AFT A, saying it would take jobs from Americans. President Bill Clintion and Vice President Al Gore were for N AFT A, which they said would lower tariffs and hopefully encourage more trading between the countries in North America. In September the Bosnia Parliament rejected an international peace plan that would have ended the 18-month-old war that has partitioned the country into three ethnic states for Croats, Muslims, and Serbs. The United Nations has sent a peace-keeping force to the former Yugoslavia to help keep peace anomg the three waring fractions.

Entering the 9th grade gave all of us the perception that we were moving up in the world, but we soon fo und out that we had a long way to go. lt might have been that bully senior who made the pety freshmen feel like dirt, or it could have been the fac t that in the lunchline, freshmen get no respect. As we learned to deal with the negati ves of being a freshman, we soon were able to reali ze that it wasn' t all that bad. As a freshman, one can now participate in school sponsored activities ranging from basketball to the fa ll play. All in all , being a freshman isn't too bad. Sure, they may take some slack from the older kjds, but it's a tradition that will continue fo r years to come in schools across the nation. Just think, when the current fres hmen are feniors, it'll start all over again. Dawn Stebbins Sara Stronck Ryan Stuntz Holly Swanek Alexander Waugh Lindsay Williams Ashley Wills Jodi Wredt Nicole Zaccone Melissa Kroll and Annie Heithoff listen diligently to the rest of their study group in Mrs. Ben on's Freshman English class. Freshman Frenzy By Carrie McGruder Staff Writer When people think of fres hman, they often think of the kids who on the the first day of school, are seen with Trapper .£Seepers held tightly under their arms, the girls who have their skirts down to their knees, and the lcids who walk around the school repeating their locker combination out loud, while avoiding t e uppercalssmen at the same time. Although most people would laugh at this scenario, they must admit that at one time they were a freshman too. Freshman Nick Finken agrees that being in ninth grade gives a person an excuse to look stupid every once in awhile. "You don ' t have to feel stupid at dances standing against the wall, and waiting for your parents to pick you up the minute the dance is over, because freshmen are supposed to look stupid," Finken said. Of course the freshman year wouldn ' t be complete without cl asses that don ' t sound easy, like the Math, Reading, and Social Studies classes one took in junior high. Now freshmen get to move up into the wonderful world of Algebra, Speech, and World History. With fun new classes and delighting teachers, one almost wants to take a step back down to those great, do-nothing, junior high days. However, the positive aspects out number the negative ones by far. When entering high school, lcids are faced with more responsibility, and granted more privilages. For example, choosing which classes to take, having the feeling of actually being a part of the school, wearing different uniforms, and talcing part in varsity sports. "One of the bi ggest benefits of being in hgh school is that I'm now considered an ad ult by my parent ,"said Megan YanScoy. More than likely, the biggest benefit of being a freshman is knowing that in three years you' ll be a senior and ready to put on those caps and gowns. The freshman year of high school is one of the most important. It is the beginning of a whole new phase of life in which the true meaning of friendship is learned. He lping classmates through the good times as well as the bad. Coming together as a c lass allows someone to hold your hand and walk down the path for the next 3 years, before you must learn to walk it alone. Being a freshman is the beginning to a new li fe, and the beginning to new friendships you will have forever. Freshmen Annie Heithoff, Marc Peterson and Melissa Kroll took time out from their busy class load to smile for the camera. High school allows for students to make new friends and even get to know more of the upperclassmen. Playing sports and going to dances were ways to meet new people from your own school. Freshmen Josh Dixon and Chad Van Scoy spend some class time working together on a project. High school was a chance for freshmen to try out some new classes. J?reshman Amy Van Fossan actually had a minute to put down her study guide and say hi. For many freshmen, semester tests marked an important event - the year was half over.

But these dreams rarely come true for young Sophomores. They feel they'll just have to wait another year. actually take the time to apologize when they bump into me," said Ben Koch . The Sophomores really came together as a class at the Sophomore retreat. They illustrated that a class can become c lose enough to share things with anyone that normally would have been known to just a few. "It helps a lot to know you can talk to any one of my classmates instead of just a few," said Anna Ge1jev ic. The Sophomore class of 1993-94 didn't let this faze them and they learned to be useful in their own special ways. Although they aren't seen to be anything more than a taller freshman with a deeper voice, they really showed that they can be worth something. "I fe lt a lot more comfortable this year.

Years to remember By Kelly Hughes Layout Editor The ma in thing on the minds of the junior class is they only have one more year left of high school. The time is going fast and they want to make the best of it together. The things they like to do best are going to movies, go to parties, or just hang out somewhere they can all be together. Not everybody is always together, but as the time comes to an end they wi ll try to spend as much time together as they can. Junior Dan Doner said, "There isn't a whole lot of time left, but you can always make time to do things with your friends and classmates. You never know how long it will be until we see each other again after we all go off to coll ege." The junior class is making the best of their year now, because the junior year in high school is a great memory to have.

Joe Stuhr Shannon Sulhoff Ann e Svoboda Nichoel Thompson Teachers: throughout the years By Kelly Hughes Layout Editor The Junior class will always have fond memories of their "favorite teachers" and the kids who were the "teacher's pet." When juniors were asked what teacher they remember the mo t the an wers became quite obvious. The top five teachers the j unior cla s remembers the most are: Miss Welsh, because they made her cry; Mrs. Schreiner, because she gave them a twelve page report and they all cheated on it: Ml'S. Reef, because she always hit Tommy Hughes's hands when he put them on her desk in the reading center; Sr. Barbara Ring, because she alwa made Michala Haynie spell words in front of th class that she djdn't know how to spell: and last but not least the junior girl will never forget the one and only Mr. Wettengel. uniors stick together By Laura Scurlock Index Editor After going to school together fo r at least three years, members of the junior class are bound to have fo nd memories concerning the years they have spe.vt with one another. Chrissy Orwig remembers, .. . " when our class all pulled together for Drew and went to Mrs. Evers funeral. There was such a special spirit there." Of course not all of the memories concerning the junior class are serious. Some are just down right embarrassing. Wan·en Mohn recalls when he, " Brought roses to Michala Haynie in seventh grade and she didn 't even li ke me." Kori Nielsen said, "When Alicia and I were freshmen, we were runn ing down the hall, pushing each other, and some senior boys were corn ing down the hall. I sli pped and skidded on my knees and my skirt got tuck up arou nd my waist. J fl ashed them all." Josh Horner remembers, ... "wearing purple, high-water pants in sixth grade." That is probably not something one woul d forget. Over the past year the class of 1995 has gone through many changes, and experienced things whi ch have brought them closer together as a class. Memorie range from doing something tupid in front of upper classmeu to coming together to support a friend in a time of need.

Swank 45 Rembering the Past By Laura Scurlock Index Editor Growing up with one another since kindergarten creates a sense of famil y within a class. After spending the last twelve years together, the class of 1994 has a past fill ed with stories about growing up together. Who could forget the women's lib movement of sixth grade? The sixth grade girls fe lt "The P.E. teacher was a male chauvi nist. At the end of the year we bought him an apron and we all signed our names to it," remembers Jennifer Mathiasen. Sixth grade was a big year for movements. On one nice spring day at the end of recess, Bridget Boettcher and Gwen Gruber decided to protest by not going inside after recess, simply because it was such a nice day . The teacher didn't notice until the next class was half over. Most of the people that went to St. Albert in fourth grade will never forget the day beans and weiners were served. " I will never eat beans and weiners because Missy (Barton) threw them up all over the fl oor in fo urth grade, " said Kati e Heithoff. In first grade Jamie Goebel switched from Mr. Petramoli e's class into Sr. Barb's class. For most first graders, Mr. Petramo1 ie wasn't the favored teacher. "Mr. Petromoli e pulled my hair, but Sr. Barb said she would give me extra papers to play school with," remembers Jami e. Jill Konz was a new additi on to the St. Albert family in seventh grade. "My mom took me to Dennis Uniform to get my uniform. I cried all the way home. l thought it was the ugli est thing I had ever seen," said Jill. Through the years we have all grown and changed. The fri ends, the teachers, the laughs - we carry these bits of our past with us as we move toward the future. In fifth grade Miss Johnson, the music teacher, had the entire middle school put on a musical. The musical of choice was "Steamboatin" .

Right now all we have is the present, and even this won't last forever. Memories are all we get to keep from high school, nothing we earn is ours to keep. We must relinquish all the trophies, titles, grades, and reputations on that final day when we' ll walk; turning our tassles to the side. The symbols of our accomplishments and our failures must be given back, but the memories are ours for a lifetime. Senior Arny Davis said, "My favorite memory of my senior year was being crowned Homecoming Queen." Most of For Today us don' t have memories as royal as Davis', but they are valued all the same. "I will always remember the time I spent with Fr. Bud and my best friends shortly before he left. We became very close, and the memory is bittersweet," said senior Laura Scurlock. Happy memories of our senior year are not the only ones that stay vivid in our mind. The freedom and the seniority do not come without responsibility and commitment. "Trying to hold down a full time job and school has been the hardest part about this year: ' said Jess Brown. Where jobs and classes cause hardships for some students, others are faced with different problems problems so difficult to face that even a Brit. Lit.

For senior Megan McMullen, losing a good fri end and classmate, Maria Kay, to another school, was a hard time fo r he r. 1994 will forever be a milestone in our history. Great memories like being the first St. Albert girls basketball team to make it to state, will be kept close to our hearts, as will the sad ones, such as Fr. Bud's farewell party. Making memories has been the essence of the year as seniors, as we write the final chapter in this yearbook of adolescent life. We all must leave St. Albert and make it a part of our past, but none of us can go without taking a piece of it into the future.

Heading for the Future Dreams of Gold By Shawn Jones They were th best of times. They were the worst of times. And now they will be the times only to be reflected on after we have graduated and taj<.en our first steps out into the "real" world. The future is now ours to take and mold into whatever our dreams may make it. Most of us have the dreams that will make the future something to look forward to. Whatever the dreams, whatever the goals, steps must be taken to achjeve them. Many of us will go off to college in hopes that it will better prepare us for the task of miling our dreams come true. "College is sometrung that you just can't do without these days. Unless of course, you're planning on marrying someone ri ch like my fu ture husband, Andy Murray, is going to be," said a sarcastic Val Graeve. Some have aspirations to be something very big. Erin Fuchser wishes one day to become a famous painter and take over the Bob Ross Show. Another big dreamer, Todd Simms, has the aspiration of being a priest or miling mjllions of dollars by designing and building new and improved Durangos. Having more than one vocation is a dream that a few have latched on to. Matt Clayton wishes to be a Park Ranger/Go-Go Dancer whjie hjs frie nd, Ryan Shea, ha the hopes of becoming a Fireman/Professional Streaker. Sti ll some have less ambitious goals. "I want to spend the rest of my life livi ng under the viaduct," said Mark Willms. It is fun to joke about where our fu tures may take us as we head off into the worl d, but soon they will be a bi g concern fo r all of us. Just remember as you go through life there are many paths to go by, and there is always time to change the road you're on. Above: Gwen Gruber and Danny Stock practice their musical talents.

NHS: Students stand out By Joe Stuhr Staff Writer National Honor Society was established to honor well-rounded students who also achi eve high academic standards. NHS members are expecfed to possess four qualities; service, leadership, character, and scholarship. A person is accepted on how well they display those qualities. This year NHS went through a major change. This year's sophomore class must achieve a 3.5 grade point average to be eligible, in comparison to the previous 3.25. Mark Mortensen, who previously would have been eligible for a nomination by the old mark, isn' t bitter. He said "There's no use in crying over spilt milk. " The goals for this year vary from person to person. Shawn Jones, a senior member, said that he wanted to make the school more open and loving. Casey Sautter, also a senior member wanted to "make it to aJJ of the meetings and benefit the community. " Amy Patten, a junior member, sai d she "wanted to make St. Albert a better place to be,"and she also hoped that by raising the academic standards for NHS, students would work harder in school . Mrs. Caroline Swartz, the NHS sponsor, said, "We wanted to clean up Gleason A venue, ra ise money for a scholarshi p, and honor the students that are worthy.

By Greg Kellogg Staff Writer St. Albert has seen many changes talce place thanks to the Student Council. Some changes, according to Ms. Oatman, who is the adviser of the Student Council, include a birthday calendar in the lunch room, birthday tags to let your peers know about your birthday and a Big Brother/Bi0 Sister progran1. This program involves juniors and seniors taking time to show 7th graders and new students around the school. It benefits them by making them fee l welcome and helping them fit in. Student Council was also responsible for Catholic Schools Week during which St. Albert Alumni were asked to visit the school fo r an all-school interview. The student body wrote down questions that they vvould Like to know the answers to and Student Council members read them aloud as the Alumni answered them, drawing from their past experiences at St. Albert.

New people and ideas for Campus Ministry By: Dan Doner Staff Writer With Fr. Bud's depaiture, the Campus Mi nistry Program was given a completely new task, becoming famili ai· with new faces and new ideas. John O'Brien the new head of the Campus Mi nistry program, said the first task is getting to know everyone indi viduall y. "Getting to know a large number of tudents on an indi vidual basis is something new for me," he expressed. The group of approximate ly 27 students is given a task each season to find a theme that they intend to follow. This is difficult while getting to know each other. "Establishing a theme whil e understanding new people and their ideas is tough to do," said O'Brien. The program did conti nue a usual, planning and coord inating the many masses and the Reconciliation services that ex ist during every Easter Season. O'Brien wants to let the youth be as involved as possible. "The Campus Min istry Program should be by the youth, with the yo uth, and fo r the yo uth ," he said. Some students fee l that there is a long way to go. "I don 't fee l the students are involved enough in the masses," said senior Jill Konz " and that's too bad." "The kids should be most involved in the masses as long as they are there to celebrate life," said O' Brien, "and they learn to be a group and be comfortable with each other." O' Brien was pleased with his we lcome and is pleased with the program. "I have received a good we lcome and e verything is going well. " 58 Then and Now: Fr.

Journalism: The p~ople that make it happen By Tim Howarth Staff Writer 'Time, hardwork, and dedication are three of the mo t important factors in putting out the yearbook,'' Editor Jill Konz stated. Every year around 20 students sign up for Journalism, little do they know how much time is needed to produce the yearbook and newspaper. Dimensions is started every year in August and is not finished until late June, monopoli zing an entire ten months full of hardwork and dedi cation . The Acc ipiter is a different story. The newspaper is published quarterl y with anywhere from seven to ten days to complete. For both the newspaper and the yearbook, students in Journalism JI must assign stories to Journalism I students. Journalism Jl students must also place these stories in the layout on the computer after they have edi ted them and made any changes. Journal ism I students spend most of the school year learni ng the necessities fo r Jo urnalism II. These necessities include learning to write stori es and pi cking out pictures, learning how to develop and pri nt pictures, and learning how to take pictures. Journalism I students write most of the stories seen in the Accipiter while students in Journalism II write the majority of the stories in Dimensions. As shown above, Journal ism takes a lot of time, hard work, dedi cation, and pati ence. It's these fo ur things whi ch make Dimensions and the Accipiter successfu l. 60 Organizations ....

SA Students: Reading For Fun By Missy Salyers Staff Writer What is the Dead Authors Society ? Many people at St. Albert are asking that very question . Reduced to a simple definition, it is a group of students interested in reading the classics. The group read classic books and then crot tocrether to discuss them. There are six 0 0 to seven people involved in the group at one time. Seniors Laura Scurlock, Gwen Gruber, Bridget Boettcher, and Megan McMullen, sophomore Ben Koch, and freshman Andrew Regan, are some students who are involved. Club leader Mrs. Angeroth said, "Our goal is to encourage people to read a variety of literature." One of the reasons the society is so successful is because the students want to be able to read a wider variety of books than they would normally be exposed to in the classroom. They have just finished reading the book The Three Musketeers. They have also read Slaughter House 5, The Killing of Roger Ackoren, and The Grapes of Wrath. Dead Authors Society is full of lively students who possess the desire to enhance their education, and is a great addition to St. Albert.

Music Dept. perf orllls their winning tunes By: Alicia Sanchez Staff Writer SA has the tendency to be su essful in their extra-curricular activities, whether the activity be basketball, football, or the growing music department and their achievments. This 1993-94 school year the choir has participated in the small group contest in Missouri Valley. Like last school year their performance concluded successfully . "Performing in the small group contest is fun," exclaimed junior and choir member, Jana Wineinger. "It gives you the opportunity to perform before a panel of judges." Senior Tracy Minor believes that singing at the small group contest grants the choir, as a group, a tremendous opportunity, as Wineinger believes, but also developes the individual singer. As a group, the choir has also taken part in performing at the St. Albert Christmas Concert on Dec. 18. Besides the Christmas Concert, the choir performed at the All-City Music Festival on Feb. 9. The St. Albert band has also accomplished a great deal as the year comes to an end. Freshmen Jennifer Boettcher, Chris Fennell, sophomore Robin Jones, and j unior Kristy Meyer were fo ur of nine students which were chosen to perfo rm in honor bands or what is called SWIBA (Southwest Iowa Band Assoc.). Freshman band member Chris Fennell, fee ls that "playing in honor bands is fu n because you are performing with talented musicians".

The band also participated in the Christmas Concert with the choi r. Although the music department has 66 not always bad large numbers in members they continue to achieve a great deal.

By Amy Patte.!1 Staff Writer The performance of "Hoop!" foreshadowed the prosperous seasons of both the girls and boys basketball teams. However, the name of the fall musical was deceiving. "On the surface the theme dealt with high school basketball," said Mr. Wilson, theater director. "Underneath, it dealt with students growing up." The road to being an adult isn't easy. "Hoop!" addressed many of the probelms that face teenagers of today, such as cheating, teenage love and making decisions. Senior Bridget Boettcher expressed, "The dec ions the characters had to make reflected a Jot of what's going on at St. Albert. " Mr. Wilson hoped his cast would read between the lines and learn that choices must be made that will have positive effects. Senior Carolyn Wulff learned, "You have to make your own decisions based on what you think is right." The cast rehearsed after school as 3:30 for two months. A cast member didn't make grades, so senior Casey Sautter was recruited with only two weeks left to rehearse before the performance date. "I enjoyed being in the play even though I didn't feel I had rehearsed enough ," said Sautter. "Hoop!" was performed the afternoon of November I 0 for the junior high. The general public viewed "Hoop!" November 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. Looking back on "Hoop!", Mr. Wilson said, "The play addressed a lot of significant issues that affect high school students. It dealt with real life situations like honesty and owning up to your mistakes. I was pleased with the production. " 68 Below: Kate Hobbins and John Wulff patiently wait for their cue to go on stage.

''Present Tense'': On to Superstate By Amy Patten Staff Writer The arrival of a person's teenage years seems to awaken the romantic side in most people. In "Present Tense", St. Albert's oneact play, a young man feels insecure as he encounters the opposite sex. Mr. Wilson, theater director, cho e "Present Tense" because of its freshness and uniqueness. Having previously worked with the play in another school, he knew this was "a winning script." The cast pe1formed at Districts and received a "one" rating from the single critical judge. This success provided them with the honor of attending state competition. At State, the cast received a "one" rating from each of the three judges. However, even perfect scores at State don't guarantee a tJip to Superstate. Days were spent waiting for an invitation to Superstate. Finally, a letter came inviting them to perform. Mixed emotions were fe lt as they prepared for the competition. "'Present Tense' was definitely one of the highlights of my senior year and the overnight tJip to Superstate was an experience I'll never forget!" said senior Jennifer Mathiasen. Rachel Stuhr, Melissa Barton and Danny Stock huddle together at Superstate for a quick snapshot. Spring Play 1994 As the Curtain Rises By Jennifer Mathiasen Copy Editor Traditionally, the spring play at St. Albert consist of a large group of people performing a serious play, usually not a musical, and devoting hours upon hours of hard work, to that end. "Planting in the Dust" and "Stephen Vincent Benet's Stories of America," the two selections being performed at thjs year's production, are very untraditional. Although hours of hard work were devoted to its success, the similarities end there. "Stories of America" is performed in the style utilized by Reader's Theater groups. This makes for a very unique evening. Freshman Lindsay Williams acts as the focal point in "Planting in the Dust" and cast members of "Stephen Vincent Benet's Stories of America" include freshman Gina Roane, juniors, Chrissy Orwig and Jenn y Jones, and senior Tracy Minor. Drama director, Mr. Wilson, also had a unique motivation for choosi ng the combination. "Joan Gubbels (senior, Josh Gubbels mom,) had seen 'Planting' performed for a National Gathering of CathoJjc Women and she was so taken by it that she longed to see it performed again. Lindsay did one performance for a group here in Iowa, and I thought it was too bad that all the preparation was only for one night," said Wilson. " ... and "Stories of America" had been staring me in the face for a long time, I decided that maybe this was the time to use it," he finished. "Planting in the Dust" deals with American farmers during the late twentieth century, and is not only a one-act play, but also a one woman play. "Stories of America" highlights the development of America throughout time. Both selections possess the underlying theme of agony over "what has been lost, and what must be found aga in ," reflected Mr. Wilson. This original presentation did an excellent job of informjng people about the pl ight our nation 's farmer , both past and present, and also remini ced about our nation 's early years. It was performed at 7:30 p.m. on May 6th and 7th in the St. Albert auditorium.

CHEERLEADING Ove~flow of spirit By Jennifer Mathiasen- Copy Editor "Who's the school that we all know, g S.A., go S.A. , go, we've got spirit so let it show!" Spirit is certainly something that a successful squad of cheerleaders need, and something that the St. Albert cheerleaders possess in abundance. The 1993-94 squad was a dedicated, hardworking group. Their duti es were many in number, ranging from the making of signs for lockers, to working in the concession stand after school. They also took on various tasks such as the selling and creating of Valentines and of course, cheering at aJI foo tball and basketball games and wrestling meets. "The cheerleaders spend numerous hours practicing and working in the concession stand everyday and still they have time to be sweet Valentine cupids. I thank them for their dedication," exclaimed sponsor Ms.McGuire. As much hard work as it requires, cheerleading is also a lot of fun. A large part of the fun was experi enced at the NCA Summer Camp they attended at Lake Okoboji . "Camp was a learning experience that was full of hard work, but also fun ... another thing that is fun , but one of our biggest challenges, too, is getting the crowd involved," said seni or Angie Spitznagle. The cheerleaders of St. Albert are not just spiritleaders, they are also positi ve role models for younger students, as well as be ing impressive reflections of St. Albert as a whole. "J think the younger children have a lot of fun doing cheers, playing with our porn and helping in the crowd," said senior Amy Spitznagle.

By Jes Welsh ·- Staff writer " 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 and 8! " The 1993-94 St. Albert girls Porn Pon squad performed many energetic dances for the fans of basketball and football games this year. The 16 member squad attributes a majority of their success to the Porn Pon camp held at Lake Okaboji. Sophomore Christie Burke said, "It taught us to perform, not just to dance." Sophomore Allison Arnold echoed her in saying, "Camp taught us good techniques and how not to be afraid of a crowd." The squad had many goals. Senior Carolyn Wulff, a three year member, andone of this year's captains said, "Our goals were to get along and to include everyone in the major decisions. We didn 't want to leave anyone out." Another exciting aspect thjs year was the annual Aloha Bowl held in Hawaii . Seniors Carrie McGruder, Carolyn Wulff, and Jennifer Mathiasen were all chosen to attend and perform during the half-time routine. McGruder and Wulff attended and said, "We had the time of our lives! " This year there were six sophomores who made the 93-94 Porn Pon squad. Arnold said, ·'Jn the beginning, I think they underestimated us, but in the end we were pretty much all treated equally." The routines are energetic, colorfu l, and most of all , practiced. Wulff said, " They get into partners, pick out their own music, make up the routine and then they teach it to everyone else. We really learned a lot from camp." Something sure paid off, because the girls had a great year, and from the looks of it, good times will be had in the years ahead.

But as the season progressed, they came back like a pack of hungry hounds with a young, new coach holding the leash. The Saintes volleyball team saw many changes this past year; a new coach, new techniques, and the beginning of a new era. "We were excited to learn, and Coach Anderson could show us the new generation of volleyball tactics," said senior Katie Heithoff. One of the new tacti cs was the add ition of the quick set. "Quick sets were fun to run because they are unexpected." said senior Kelly Hughes. The Saintes fa ired well throughout eason play. A Coach Anderson said about her first year, "It went well. had a lot of expectations for the Varsity, and they met them all." Their season started slow, mainl y due to lack of games. But as the season progressed. ·'We began to gel," said Heithoff. The last half of the season, they won six out of their seven matches.

The Falcons finished with a 4-5 record and just missed the playoffs. focus on the things ahead rather than the things behind them. They never dwelled on past games. They just kept thinking of all the ways they could do better to improve themselves. Opponent The goals fo r the Falcons were to work hard, stay together, and remain focused on their jobs at all times. The team accomplished this most of the time, but as Coach Scichilone said, "Our biggest problem was turnovers and penalties at the most inopportune times." Along with that, senior Brad Krohn said," We could have eliminated our mental mistakes to do better." During some of the bad times the Falcons attempted to Doing just that, the Falcons came back together and pulled off a couple more victories to end a memorable and respectable season. Senior Jeff Hanington said, " I am happy with the season, because I feel everybody always gave 100% and nobody gave up." The Falcons are all proud of what they accomplished for the season. Now the underclassmen are ready to come back next season and take control., but are surely going to miss the seniors. TJ 28 Flanagan 21 Shenandoah 0 Audubon 30 Mo.

Pinning down some experience: Young Falcon grapplers make their marko By Shawn Jones "We don't rebuild, we reload. " That is how coach Litner described his 1993-94 wrestling team and that is exactly what they did. Having only one senior on the team allowed many of the younger grapplers to get "well deserved xperience," as Litner puts it. Being so young, the team was ' t the powerhouse they hoped to be, but instead they turned in some great individual pe1formances. Johnny Burg, the only senior, stepped up to fill the role as leader to the younger members. "He really pushed us, but he was so big, we couldn 't push him back," said sophomore Toby Fisher. Burg didn' t receive all the wrestling honors of a champion, but he is well praised fo r his devotion and his integrity. Fisher was one of the big contributers to the team. Although he joined late in the season, he still wrestled hard and made his presence felt throughout the entire state. "He's tough and he ' ll go a long way," aid Burg. Fisher was the on ly Falcon wrestler to qualify for the state tournament. Another big wrestl er was sophomore Mark Mortensen. Returning after a great freshman year, he continued ro lay his opponents on their backs and have them crying fo r mercy. " It's a rea l achi evement to be such a great wrestler and be a twotime conference champion in as many years," said Litner. A score of other Falcon wresrlers had their own shinning moments as we ll. For being as young as they were, they had some great achi evements. They look forward to next year, where, with the experience they have received, they will be a force to reckon with. Fisher said it best with his exclamation, "Watch out next year. On to STATE!

It begins with three hour practices and ends with a great winning season. The Falcons started practicing in mid-November to prepare for their tough season ahead. Being hot, sweaty, and in a gym for three hours doing the "dirty thirty" wasn' t what the players called a great time, but they were all willing to do whatever it took to get ready for regular season play. Junior Scott Sanson said," At times practices got almost too long and the conditioning got old, but it was well worth the time." December came around and the Falcons kicked off the season with Missouri Valley. They beat them on the Reds' home court and after that the rest of December was smooth sailing. January hit and the Falcons hit a loll and lost focus. They lost to Columbus Scotus and then to Roncalli in the Centennial Conference Tournament. However, this wasn 't about to stop them. February arrived and they progressed more as the days went by. Coach Wettengel said, "Everybody got scattered in January because of the long season." After knocking off some great competitors throughout the season the Falcons were ready to take control as tournament time approached. Wettengel also said, "Our regular season schedule really prepares us for tournament time, because we play nine schools bigger than us." Due to all of the hard work and dedication the Falcons have put in this year, they came home with another runner-up title and trophy to show their excellence.

Well, it is the game of golf, of course. This game requires a lot of skill and determination. The girls' golf team had both of these attributes during the year. Although the team was small, consisting of only five girls, they worked hard and never let their scores keep them down . Many of their practices were held at Dodge or Westwood Golf Course. Here, they worked on all of their shots and on their technique. They would practice after school under the supervision of their coach of three years, Judy Krohn . These practices are what would prepare them fo r their spring golf meets in whi ch they hoped to prove just how good they were. Three members of the team placed in the top ten at the City Meet. These members included: freshman, Holly Swanek; junior, Jill Gaspard: and enior, Rachel Stuhr. Stuhr doesn't plan on pursuing her golf trokes and talent through coll ege but says. "Everyone showed lots of improvement and by the city meet everyone just cli cked and turned in their best score · of the year." Swanek stated, " I had a lot of fun playing agai nst senior and kicking their butts, and I'm only a fres hman.

Individually, Krohn's highlights include placing 1st at Audubon and 3rd and the T.J. invitational. Although very talented, natural ability is highly over-rated.

The boys soccer team started the season with new coaches making the calls. The boys soccer squad picked up Dennis Shea as their new head coach. He made the transition to a high-school career after experience in coaching club soccer. Shea brought along with him assistant coaches Jim O' r·en and Jeff Rindone. The coaches didn ' t have the trouble of rebuilding a new program due to the quality of players all ready at St. Albert. The boys were lead by seniors Ryan Shea, Mark Willms, and Tony Mauer, three returning powerhouses. The senior trio got help from overseas from Xavier Perez, a tough and talented player. Also, sophomore goalie, Toby Fisher, made more than his share of great saves, if the ball ever got past sweeper Marty Hughes. Sophomore Kelly Thomas along with freshmen Nick Finken, Charlie Narmi , Ryan Haynie, and Ryan Stuntz, hammered home some well needed plays as well. Many varsity players had to moonlight on the J.V. team due to a shortage of members, but they had some impressive performances. Some of the big J.V. stars were freshmen Joe French, John Cooper, Matt Headl ey, Nick Crampton, Chris Fennell, sophomore Eri c Jancek, and juniors Cliff Negrete, Joe Stuhr, and Jason Killion Many of the squad 's games were very closely contested and many games were forced to a shootout. Most of the shootouts went for the Falcons, but a few went the other way. They beat a tough Omaha Central te am in shootout fashion by scoring four goal. in the overtime, but they were also upset by one goal in a double-shootout by Scotus. They also had their share of blowing teams off the field as they did with Gretna and Pl atteview. The remainder of their games were decided 1994 Falcon Soccer Team: Back Row (left to right): Managers Kristy Meyer and Jenny O'Donnell, Scott Sanson, Charlie Narmi, Dan Busch, Xavier Perez, Chris Eckrich, Ryan Stuntz, John Kuper, Asst.

'·We were a tough team and we neve r let ourse lves think we we re out of a game. A lot of the game. could have gone either way. Our play was much better than our record shows," said Shea. The team, although potenti all y great, had its problem . Many players were sidelined due to school disciplin ary reasons and red cards that were pi cked up during the season. This gave them sort of a reputation of being the " bad boys" of soccer and put a damper on the team 's success. Hughes commented on the prob lem saying, " lt hurt us in some of the big games. Plattsmouth bombed us because we were short key playe rs clue to reel cards. " Despite all the problems, the socce r team prevailed and came out of the sea on with reason to hold their heads high.

To perfect their swings, S.A. girl tennis players fa ithfully practi ced everyday after school. Practices were held at Sunset Park due to the condition of S.A. courts. The practices consisted of serving, sc rimmaging, and pe1forming numerous dri lls. All in all , they were not held in vain. The hard work paid off by the end of the season. Practices were held under the watchful eye of their coach, Doug Rew. Rew was a newcomer on the coaching fro nt. His goal fo r the team was "to improve on last year's record." He later commented that "this year's record doesn't indicate the team's overall talent." Senior Angie Spitznagle had a personal goal to "work on my overall atti tude towards tennis." She said, "You can' t always win, but then you can' t always get down on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes." The thrill of fee ling the crunch as the ball hits the strings may be the reason that one plays tennis, but Jodie Friedri chsen plays for the pure thrill of the game. The tennis team did improve on last year's record and there are higher expectations for next year.

By Jes Welsh Staff Writer "On your mark, get set, go!" And that's exactly what the 1993-94 girls track team did. On February 14, the Sai ntes started their grueling season of hope. Sophomore Lindy Andersen said, "The workouts were hard," but obviously worthwhile. The Saintes sent senior Carrie McGruder to state with pride and encouragement. McGruder qualified for state at districts in the 400 hurdles with the time of 69. 1 seconds. McGruder gives the credit of the team's success to Coach Shorey, "At times, he's really hard on us, but he knows what we can do better than we do." Junior Michala Haynie was a bit disappointed in the outcome of those going to state. " I thought we'd take more to state. The girls that missed the cutoff by one or two seconds ran very hard and gave it their best shot. " The senior girls were a big part of the undercl assmen's encouragement. The four seniors included JiU Konz, Carrie McGruder. Carolyn Wulff, and Val Graeve. Hayni e said, "The seniors were the ones that led us this year, and they wi ll be missed." Even though the seniors won' t be back next year, the girls track team will still be able to carry themselves to victory. McGruder said, "There is a lot of potential on the team, and there is team unity." Team unity and great talent are what will lead the girls n·ack team to continue their victory next year.

Individual State: A Step Above the Rest by Sar~ Kruse Staff Writer Throughout the duration of the year, the athletes always keep one goal in mind - qualifying for state. And only the very best, the elite, make it that far. So far this year, there have been only a few individual state qualifiers. r1 all began with Toby Fisher in wrestling. He started halfway through the wrestling season, and still made it. Fisher had to wrestle six different people and only lost two times, to qualify for his first state birth. At state, Fisher wrestled a total of three times. He lost his first match, won his second match, then lost once again to the eventual runner-up. Next in line is Carrie McGruder. McGruder was the only member of the girls track team to qualify for state. She qualified in the 400 yard hurdles with a time of 69. l seconds. Not only was she an individual state qualifier, she is the only girl in the history of St. Albert to qualify in this event. One ofMcGruder's goals was to place second in the finals of the 400 yard hurdles, and her one major goal is to break the school record in her event. On to boys tennis. The entire boys tennis team qualified for substate. But two players are definitely heading for the state meet. Tony Reinhardt and Ryan Myers qualified for state for the first time in doubles tennis. "Our goal at state is to place in the top eight," said junior Tony Reinhardt. "We have nothing to lose and everything to gain ," added teammate and fellow junior Ryan Myers. The team was very happy, and extremely surprised with their substate birth. All in all it has been a good year for the athletes at SA. Through all bad weather and the inconsistent sunny days, the accomplishments of the teams and indi viduals has been great.

But as they say ... winning isn ' t everything. but it's sometimes nice.

The birds were singing the bees buzzing and the flowers blooming. However this was not just anyother day, for a special few , the seniors of St. Albert, this was the end of education as they know it. The last day was eventful as always. The seniors were in a mad rush to get signed out. The teachers were in a mad rush to sign them out. The rest of the student body viewed the spectacle as envious as ever. Another common sight on the senior's last day is the waterfight . Every year the seniors roundup balloons, water guns or anything else they could use to douse their classmates. This year was no exception. According to the school's administration the waterfight is just good clean fun and that is just what was had clean fun. However this year's was not your preverbial last day. A normal sight at St. Albert for the last week of school has always been senior girls with shredded skirts. Due to the Administration's decision to collect the skirts that did not happen this year. The girls turned their skirts in for one week of out of uniform. However, as is usually the case there was conflict. The senior guys were up in arms in what they felt was an unfair decision. They felt that if the girls got out of uniform for turning in their uniform, they should be able to turn in part of their attire for a week of grubs. Senior Josh Gubbels assurred his undercl assmen that he was not just looking out for himself but for all of the of the seniors of the future.

Above: The seniors who chose to perform at graduation sing "It's Time to Go" for the packed auditorium. The beginning of the end for the class of '94 By Tim Howarth and Missy Sakyers Staff Writers As the school year wound down and the summer drew nearer, the seniors readied themselves for life as adults. The future is closer than ever for the 53 determined seniors as they neared the end of their final high school year. May 29th brought an end to high school, and the beginning of reality. The ' 94 class motto, "We always knew we would look back at yesterday 's tears with laughte r, but we didn ' t know we would look back at yesterday 's laughter with tears," best described this years' graduates. Class President Brandon O'Neill opened the ceremony and Vice President Josh Gubbels presented the prayer. All tlu-ee valedictorians, Shawn Jones, Jennifer Mathiasen and Gwen Gruber, also had a few moments of speaki ng time at the graduation. In his homily at senior mass Father Bud Grant talked about what people will be like at their ten year reunion. Some of these predictions are a purple haired Casey Sautter and Josh Gubbels as the next president of the United States. Seniors Jason Epperson, Andy Murray, Tom Hromadka, Jess Brown, and Amy Davis take time out for a quick picture at the senior dinner. Father Bud congratulates Brandon O'Neill as Josh Gubbels and Casey Sautter look on. Ms. McGuire summed things up by saying, "I think I will remember the clas of '94 as quiet people who got things done. They were always there for me when I needed help." Kate Hobbins stated, "The class of '94 will simply be remembered as the best class to come out of St. Albert." Graduation brought an end to high school fo r the fifty three seniors and brought about the beginning of co llege life and living in the real world. Father Bud and Miss McGuire go overthe last minute details for the graduation rehearsal 133 Our Final Stand By Jill Konz Managing Editor As seniors we now stand at the top of the hill, with the sun and wind on our faces, and our successors to our backs. We share the perfect view of the treetops, the blue sky, the past, and the future. This one shining moment is not eternal, soon we must travel back down to the bottom, in faith that we will soon rise again. The hills we dare to climb are different, and the terrain we will climb alone. Each stone will be a new obstacle, each blade of grass will soften ou tep. Along the way we will become stronger, and eventually the climbing will become easier. There will be new hikers who will learn to climb with us, and we shall become a part of a new team. Eventually we will climb to a new summit, with the same sun, wind, blue sky, and treetops, but a new view. We have faith in our experience of climbing our first hill together, and someday we shall climb again. Above: Chris Wredt all smiles, takes the pause that refreshes. Right: Shawn Jones and Carrie McGruder share a friendly moment at a track meet.

But for many people, especially the seniors, it started as soon as football was over last year. This dedication proved its worth as this year's edition of the football Falcons ran up a 9-2 record and a 3rd place finish in the state. This was the best record in the history of the school, and the first football team in the playoffs from Council Bluffs. It all began in September at Lewis Central where the Falcons recorded an impressive 28-8 win. The Falcon~ wound up their regular season w1_th a spectacular win over cross-town nval Thomas Jefferson. In this game the Falcon defense held T.J. to minus 28 yards in the first half as the Falcon offense rambled for 13 points. In the first game of the _playoffs t~e Falcons were pitted agamst Guthne Center. The Falcons came out on top 20-18. This moved the team to the semi-fmals where the Falcons played the eventual State Champs, Central Lyon of Rock Rapids. Tfie Falcons came out on the short end, but were awarded a 3rd place trophy in Class 2A. 8 FALCONS OPPONENTS 28 Lewis Central 34 Exira 7 Boystown 14 Mason City Newma n 28 Le Mars 21 Carroll Kuemper 13 Lincoln Pius X 24 Ft.

St. Albe Twelve students participated in an aviation education class which was begun the second se- mester, and they found the experience rewarding. The course primarily dealt with ground school material, aircraft systems and instruments, how planes fly, and plotting courses. In-school coursework was supported by two field trips. The first trip was to Eppley Airfield in Omaha where the students were able to visit the contI:ol tower, sit in the cockpit of a Boeing 727, discuss job opportunities with United Airline personnel, get an "inside" look at airport security, inspec~ the fire ~uipment ~t the cras_h barn, and talk with the bnefers at Flight Service. The second trip took the students to Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska, for a tour of the base, an "on-board" look at one of the SAC planes used for Operation Looking Glass, and a visit to the Aerospace Museum. The course is planned for two semesters next year which will allow more study of aviation history and the space programs.

The decorating of the cafeteria was done by the Sophom.ore class, who also organized the dance for the Juniors and Seniors. Some of the chaperones were the Sophom.ore mothers and fathers: Mr. and Mrs. Wallace, and Mr. and Mrs. Piers.on, Mr. and Mrs. O'Grady, and Mr. and Mrs. Rue.

The action centers around Abigail Williams (played by Jo Ellen Hopp) who was thought to be possessed by the devil. The Reverend Samuel Parris (Mike Smyth) sends for the Reverend John Hale, (Pete Meidlinger) a minister noted for his work in ridding people of spirits. John Proctor (Brad Neary) a villager who does not believe in witchcraft, speaks out against the idea that people may be possessed, until finally, suspicion is brought upon him that he is working for Satan.

The members of the council spent one afternoon brainstorming on such th ings as: honors day, eligibility, Lettermen's Club, and honor's passes. Recommendations were then made to the activity committee. In addition to this work day, the Student Council also directed homecoming activities, participated in the Handyperson project, and sponsored couples at a Muscular Dystrophy Dancethon .

During the course of the year, the staff was fortunate to be able to receive tips from guest speakers who are or have been involved in daily publications. To raise funds for a new camera, the class sponsored a pancake breakfast and an allschool girl's slumber party, both of which were quite successful. 26 P. 26 (Top right) : Reporters are (1 -r) Chris Herzog, James Reed, Mark Doll, Fred Wager, Jack Brosnihan.

The dinner theater was developed by a Parents' Club Committee working in conjunction with the Drama and Music departments and replaced the traditional Spring Concert given by the Music Department. The Parents' Club handled all the dinner ar- rangements including the preparation and serv- ing of the authentic Italian Dinner. Entertainment during the dinner was provided by the newly formed band under the direction of Mr. Ron Jewel, and the various vocal groups under the direction of Miss Nancy O'Neill. Mrs. Paula Blatt directed the three act play written by Norman Barasch and Carroll Moore. The evenings entertainment and dinner were superb and were well received by the more than 400 persons who attended. 34 CAST: Judy Kimball . . . . . . . . . . . . .

By doing this, it was thought each group could relate better to their own age group, and it would also avoid disturbances and petty arguments. The first day included discussion, movies, arts and crafts, and prayer. The second day was highlighted by a communal penance service, and a special Christmas dinner prepared and served by parents. 36 (Ctr.

A one-semester course was presented this year in commemoration of our nation's Bicentennial. Miss O'Neill and Miss Brauch were the designers of this special course. In addition to Miss O'Neill and Miss Brauch, course instruction was offered on a rotation· basis utilizing Mr. Sherbo, Mrs. Blatt, Mrs. Angeroth, Sister Raymond, Mrs. Miller, and Mrs. Bublitz as supporting instructors. A Bicentennial flag was given to the school, and the class arranged the flag raising ceremony which was attended by several local dignitaries and was followed by a reception in the cafeteria. The students, under t he direction of Mrs. Twila Miller, arranged and prepared a Bicentennial dinner. Faculty and staff were Invited guests to t his dinner of turkey and all the trimmings. The main project of t he semester was a on~ week t rip for interested students which carried them across t he state to t he many historical sights and points of interest which Iowa offers. 38 The Bicentennial flag fli es over St. Albert.

What looked like a promising seasor:i for the "75" football Falcons turned sour as the Falcons ran up against four Midwest powers. Green and Gold dropped three close games and salvaged a tie for the homecoming crowd. The Falcons had a very young team with seven Juniors starting on offense and six Juniors starting on defense. The last game of the season matched the Falcons against the Lewis Central Titans. Tim Carpenter started things off well with a 76 yard kickoff return, but the Falcons were turned back 21-19 by the Titans. The sea- son next year looks optimistic with plenty of Juniors such as Kevin Marr, Mark Dillin, and Randy Kenkel anchoring the offense and Tim· Hughes, John B~ugenh mke, Pat Sealock, and Don Clark holding down the defense. Two Falcons, Jim Haas (defensive end) and Owen Burgen (linebacker), were picked for the All-City Team. Falcons rejoice after another T.D. 42 !Top L.) Ron Sailors tries to elude an A.l. foe.

St. Albert will miss Mr. Johnson and long remember him for his many accomplishments. During Mr. Johnson's short time at St. Al be rt, many advancements were made. The National Honor Society was begun which recognizes students for their scholastic ability as well as their service to school and community. The S.P.A.C.E. program was developed with Iowa Western Community College which allows St. Albert seniors to receive vocational training on a shared-time basis. Arrangements were made with Creighton University for offering college level History and English courses to seniors and granting college credit. Creighton University also has offered adult night extension courses at St. Albert. In addition to the educational advantages, Mr. John· son was instrumental in organizing the debate team and Junior High sports program. Mr. Johnson has done a great deal for St. Albert. He has worked diligently on the St. Albert program in order to make it the success that it is. We all thank him and wish him the best of luck in the future. (Top) Mr. Johnson wor ks on the first draft of the Christmas edition of the St. Albert Newsletter which he sends to the schools supporters. I Above left) Mrs. Dermody and Mr. Johnson discuss a math problem over a cup of coffee. (Above right) Mr. Wo lever and Sister Elaine discuss school activities with Mr. Johnson. Cooks & Custodians The cooks this year have proven once again that despite high prices and little Government aid, good lunches can be served. The cooks have done their part in helping some of the students pay off part of their tuition by work· ing in the cafeteria during their lunch hour. The janitors have had two new additional helpers this year, Al Reeves, and Ray McManus.

The play presents the problems a psychiatrist-writer faces when he fails to apply the professional guidelines on child rearing to his own teenage daughter. Cast as the harassed and frustrated father was Jim Hartman. His wife Alice was played by Sally Duggan. Completing the Kingsley Family were Linda and Abbey, with Kathy Kenney and Becki Bronson in those roles. The teenagers gave this comedy of today a special quality all its own. In addition to Miss Kenney, these young "flipouts" and "cuties" included, Tom Dusing, Brian Henderson, Retsey Ronk, Tim Carpenter, John Jones, Dana Caughlin, Pat Heck, Chris Leber, Patti Scott, Julie Smyth, Mike Smyth, Karen Gronstal, and Sharon Messbarger. Mike Hughes was cast as the bearded hippie-painter, Bartholomew Smutts, Mary Ann Lenihan as the hypocondriac physician, Romana Crilly as the overpowering lady gym teacher, Joe Connolly as the antagonistic young ghost writer of Dr. Kingsleys best selling book, and Roberta Fischer was his business-minded publisher. Staging her initial production at St. Albert, Mrs. Blatt was delighted and gratified with the success of the show, "The Impossible Years." The success was att ributed to countless hours of hard work o n the part of many people. The assistant d irectors, Karen Gronstal and Sharon Messbarge r we re of particular hel p t o Mrs. Blatt.

A total of 1, 700 people attended the scheduled 4 performances and 1 pemand performance. Karen Gronstal played the lead role as Dorothy with other major parts being played by Melanie Herbert as the Scarecrow, Tim Daughtery as the Tinman , Romana Crilly as the Lion, Cece Krettek playing the Wicked Witch, and Janet Sulentic as Aunt Em. The student involvement was fantastic as over 75 students were actually in the play while many others contributed in set construction, props, make up, and other jobs behind the scenes vital to the production of a stage play. The hard work of all those cast and crew involved was evident as the sell out crowds were responsive and enjoyed the old time favorite.

At the State Meet, which was held at Ames, Iowa, the Falcons were led by seniors. Steve Epperson and Bob Weidman finished 8th and 10th in a field of 200 runners, while Tom Friel finished 21st. Underclassmen Joe Conlon and Pete Meidlinger finished high, coming in at 31st and 41st. Throughout the season the Falcons faired well in every Invitational, by never finishing lower than fourth, and capturing three team titles. Included in this years schedule was an overnight trip to Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri. Coach LaBonia's crew responded, making it a clean sweep by capturing the first five individual places along with the team title.

Come on now, you can't drop those passes like that. Let's go to defense, maybe you guys are hitters, you don't like to get hit. Now stick somebody. Get your tails down. Use your hands. You got to try to rip his he-ad off. Football's a violent game. You have to think that way. Alright, run down to t he goalposts and jog into the showers ... After you get in you swear up and down you're going to quit. You t hink you can't take it anymore. But you never quit. Everyone guts it out together, 45-50 people start to mold into a team, you start t o get a little pride . First game you get you rself and each other psyched up because you rea lly want it. But it's no good, A. L. is just too much. It takes a couple of games to get going. The offense finally gets untracked and Corn ing fa l Is. But you suffer a letdown. After .controlling the first half, Boystown ral lies to win a squeaker. Now it's time for homecoming. You are playi ng a team rated in st ate. The desire to be the first Falcon team t o win its homecoming is there. But Carroll Kuemper is worth its high rating. They only score two touchdowns but have a stonewall defense an d the offense just couldn't score. Now the season is drawing t o a close and the defense is finally learned well enou gh t o function. The offense runs with greased gears and the last two games are victories. The seasons record is only 3-6, but when you look back you can fee l proud .... You lost several t imes but never, never were you beaten. (Above ) Falcon coaches make decision on crucia l 4th down play.

Their chance was better than ever this year because of the three class setup. -The Falcons started the year with a loss at Sioux City East, but at the Christmas break they were 3-2. They improved their record to 7-4, and were ranked 1st in Southwest Iowa, when they lost two straight games to Maryville, Mo., and Paul VI. After the Paul VI game, Coach John LaBonia said to his team, "Right now is the point of the season when you either put it together, or slide in with a mediocre finish . It's up to you seniors to lead the way." The Falcons finished the season with 5 victories in preparation for the tournament. The four opponents the Falcons faced in District and Substate action were no match, as the Falcons outscored them by an average of 30 points, and made it a first for St. Albert in State tournament action .

Even though Sa int Albert was labeled the underdog in every game, t he Fa lcons showed as much poise as anyone . This led many peo ple to call them t he Cinderella Team of the 1975 tourney. By coming from eleven points behind in the fourth quarter, the Falcons defeated Pella 57-56, and earned the right to play the pre-tourney favorite Forest City .

Even though the '74-'75 Saintes ended up with an unimpressive 11 -14 record, the team played with a lot of enthusiasm. This was shown as the Saintes made it to the consolation game of the District tournament, after some late season losses. Elaine Konz, the only senior on this year's team, rightfully led the team in scoring. She was followed close by Retsey ·Ronk and -Patti Scott. Sue Bowers led a strong defensive group group which held high scoring opponents to low outputs. Sue Bowers, one of the top defenders in southwest Iowa, puts t he stop on an opponent.

How can a relay team not win the state when you have such fine coaches as Al Leber, Larry Patten, Nick McGrain? That is the way the members of the Two Mile Relay felt, and the way they ran proved that excellent coaching helped them to the State Championship. At state, the Falcons were never challenged as they literally breezed to an 8 :03.4 clocking, 3Y, seconds ahead of their nearest rival. There were many outstanding and surprising times turned in this season. Two new school records were set by the team this year. The two Mile Relay with its 8 :03.4 clocking, and Bob Weidman in the Two Mile Run with a time of 10: 07.0. Other excellent t imes were turned in by Tom Friel in the 440 (:50.5) and the 880 (1 :57.7), Steve Epperson in the Mile (4:33.0) and Weidman and Jim Haas in the 880 with times of 1 :58.5 and 1 :59.6 respectively.

The Two Mile Relay of Scott Wallace, Tim Lenihan, Mark Bridges, and Powers ran an 'amazing record of 8:53.3. The Mile Relay of Ron Sailors, Tony Romano, Wallace and Powers set another record in 3:52.9. And a third relay record was set by Wallace, Corbal ey. Sai I ors and Powers in the Mile Medley in a time of 4 :09.2. This year was the first year a St. Albert Freshman has ever won a Metro Conference Title .

These classes, each carrying the equivalent of three semester hours, make it possible for a Saint Albert Senior to accumulate six college semester hours before actually entering college. The Freshman level courses were taught by Mr. Chris Kribare (European History) and Doctor Michael Sundermeier (Modern Fiction). This excellent program, which is offered at considerable savings to the student, was initiated by Mr. Patrick Johnson, former Principal of Saint Albert. (Right) Doctor Michael Sundermeier enlightens the students on the subject of protagonist and antagonist. (Below) Student Bob Burns prepares the reading material for the next lecture.

Broadway 322-5567 The decad e of the 70's may well go down in history as a turning poin t in the lifestyle of this country. A time when man suddenly awoke from a lifestyle of increasing , and many times was teful , energy consum ption. And when he awoke to decreasing fuel and energy supplies, he took a positive step and entered the age of energy conservation . It wi ll be noted as a time when it became as important to use existing energy supplies wisely, as to find and develop new and alternate sources. That's why at Iowa Power, we think practicing energy conservation, like insulating your house well, is so important. Important becau se we don't think it makes sense for any of us to use or pay for more energy than we really need . At Iowa Power, it's our responsibility to provide ad equate supplies of energy. It's your responsibil ity not to waste any of it. turning point SW ... in our history JACK MAY P l u mbing & Excavatin g 27 So . 24th St. 323-0242 Frosty Mitchell interviews St. Albert cheerleaders during pregame show at state tour!Jament.
