A Century
Love of God and of fellowmen and a desire to bring to them
the truths of Catholicity impelled Father John George Alleman
to become one of the pioneer builders of the West. This
inspired missionary enkindled the fire of faith in the hearts
of men and fed the flames with the fuel of the Sacraments
and his own burning love of God.
The success of his efforts is manifested in a lasting memorial
to him-the embodiment of his love for God, his zeal for souls,
and his forceful initiative. Materialistically this monument is the
sturdy structure of the school bearing his name but in a higher
sense it is a structure "not built with hands," a structure that
will live forever in the hearts of God and men.
Father Alleman was born in 1806 near Strasbourg, Alsace.
Little is known of his youth but it is believed he was employed
as a foreman in a French linen factory. At the age of twenty
he gave up worldly pursuits and began studying for the priest-
hood. He emigrated to America when he was twenty-six and
went at once to the Dominican novitiate of St. Rose, Spring-
field, Kentucky. There he was clothed with the Dominican
habit and continued his studies for the priesthood. On June 8,
1834, he was ordained a priest in St. John's Church, Zanes-
ville, Ohio, and was assigned to work in the missions of Ohio.
He then began his long career as an itinerant missionary.
Most of this time was spent in the Mississippi Valley. He
traveled throughout Ohio, Iowa, and southern Illinois.
Urged by Rt. Rev. Wm. Quarter, the first Bishop of Chicago,
to give himself entirely to this portion of the diocese, Father
Alleman selected Rock Island as the center of his apostolate.
Arriving in 1851, he sought out several German Catholics,
among them Ignatius Huber and John Zeipgler. The project
of building a new church was broached and taken up with
such enthusiasm that he soon had in his possession the prop-
erty where St. Mary's church and rectory now stand. A struc-
ture, 30 by 50 feet, of limestone brought from the Morman
6
Temple at Nauvoo, was erected by Father Alleman with the
assistance of the Littig, Meisner, and other Catholic families.
lt was dedicated to St. James and the cornerstone was laid
on August 31, 1851.
Catholicity was making such rapid strides that in May, 1856,
Father John P. Donelson was sent to assist him in his labors.
With characteristic unselfishness and tireless energy Father
Alleman turned to a new field of activity. Having laid a firm
foundation for St. Mary's, St. Joseph's, Sacred Heart, and
St. Paul's churches, he placed his iob in capable hands and
once more became itinerant.
Before this time, however, he planted the roots of the Catholic
Church in Moline, where in 1857, the first church, a frame
structure, was dedicated to St. Anthony. Following the com-
pletion of St. Anthony's, St. Mary's, Sacred Heart, and Holy
Trinity churches, as well as St. Mary's, and St. Anne's churches
in East Moline were founded.
Also in this area Father Alleman organized Immaculate
Church in Hampton in 1852, Holy Name, Coal Valley, in
1858, St. John, the Baptist, Rapids City, in 1857, and St.
Patrick's, Edgington, in 1858.
The racking labor of twenty-five years of constant traveling
and privations was taking its toll and in 1863 Father Alleman
retired to assume a chaplaincy in St. Louis. He died
there July 14 1 in Calvary cemetery
in an he had lived, a humble
friar intent not about a name
or record.
lt was trait that made him
what blending of the
best which made
him him and by all

The Most Reverend JOSEPH H. SCHLARMAN
D.D., Ph.D., J.C.D., Bishop of Peoria
Bishop Schlarman has been the spiritual leader of the Peoria diocese
for twenty-one years. His Excellency, who has done much work in
advancing the progress of the Church in the Middle West, has become
to us, the youth of his diocese, the ideal leader whose generosity
toward God is prompting us, too, to be ardent workers in the noble
cause of spreading the faith.

Administration
The administration of Alleman High School is under the
supervision of Father John O'Connor, principal. His direc-
tion combined with the guidance of His Excellency, Bishop
Schlarman, and Monsignor F. P. Blecke, diocesan director
of schools, make for an efficient functioning school plant.
The board of directors, composed of pastors of the area
once again assumed the burden of finances as well the
over-all planning for the school. When it came to details,
however, it was Father O'Connor who took over. In addi-
tion to his many duties as principal, Father found time in
his busy day to meet the pupils, discuss their problems
with them and yet took a keen interest in the school's social
and sports activities.

To The Seniors
Dear Graduates:
This year we are celebrating the first cen-
tinary of the coming of Father Alleman to Rock
Island. Naturally the Catholics of this area look
back with satisfaction upon the wonderful growth
of the Church here during the past century. Not
among the least accomplishments ofthe Church
in this community has been the erection. of our
own magnificent school which bears the name of
the giant pioneer priest, John George Alleman.
The work that Father Alleman initiated a
hundred years ago is being carried on ever more
magnificently through the parishes, the schools
and the homes of Rock Island County. lt has
been your privilege toattend Alleman High
School for half your high school career. Here we
hope that you have advance in "wisdom, age
and grace before God and man."
Your parents, your pastors and your teach-
ers have worked and sacrificed to give you the
best that Catholic education can offer. Rightly,
do they expect you to be the highest type of
American Catholic men and women. We are
certain that if you live up to the ideals taught at
Alleman, the Church will progress even more
rapidly than she has in the past, a vigorous
Catholic family life will flourish, parishes and
schools will multiply and the Kingdom of God
will increase.

The students are grateful to the priests of the area
who so generously gave their time to Alleman. They
served as spiritual counselors. No matter how busy
they were in their own parishes, they always man-
aged to be at Alleman to hear confessions before
First Fridays and to teach their weekly religion classes
just as they also willingly gave up their time during
retreat to advise the students in their problems and
help them to start their lives anew.

Seniors
The world was at war as the seniors neared gradu-
ation, but undaunted, they made ready to go into the
life for which they had suited themselves. They con-
centrated on preparing for the future leadership
that they hoped would make the world a better
place, a world free of strife and prejudice.
Although the year was spent in earnest study, the
seniors did not forget the gaiety that is so much a
part of this final scholastic year. Once again they
set the pattern for social functions, taking the lead
in arranging dances and Student Council activities.
They aided in the formation of the clubs initiated this
year.
The Staff of the 1951 PIONEER was composed almost
entirely of seniors. The monthly school publication,
the ALLEMANEWS was edited by a group of senior
iournalists during the first semester, with the iunior
iournalists receiving their first experience in the
Fourth Estate during the second semester.

Not to be outdone in any field the seniors added
their talents to a successful sports program. Meeting
stiff competition this year, the football and basket-
ball teams have records of which they can well be
proud.
The seniors leave Alleman with memories of two
short years in this new school. They depart with the
knowledge that they have had access to the finest
facilities and have been taught by the most capable
faculty in the world of modern education. Their un-
derstanding of the truths of Catholicity will light the
path into the future no matter how darkened it
becomes by world conditions. The realization that
God is their constant companion gives them the con-
fidence so needed to face the life beginning at com-
mencement.

Graduation
A glance at the pictures of graduation
day, June 6, 1950, made the seniors
realize that in a short time graduation
day would be just a memory-a memory
to be cherished since it was the climax
of those "four most wonderful years."

Graduation exercises at
Alleman High School.

Bishop Schlarman gives diplomas and de-
livers address to the graduating class.
Graduation
It seemed like the end-but they called it the
commencement-the beginning. Of what? Careers
in nursing, religious life, married life or a college
education in a world filled with turmoil and un-
rest. Because of the unstable situation of the
world the seniors looked to the future with un-
certainty. Upon their shoulders rested the great
responsibility of world leadership.
"Marshall Seeking 27-Month Service For Men,
Age 18-Navy Steps Up Reserve Call-Announce
Orders Will Go To 47,000"-so ran the headlines
as this class of 1951 stepped from the threshold
of Alleman High School. But with the Christian
principles of a Catholic education to guide them
they were equipped to meet all these challenges
steadfastly and courageously.

Juniors
The temperature was low but spirits were high as
the juniors braved cold December winds to conduct
a paper drive-the first step toward the financing of
the annual Junior-Senior prom. lt was a long way
off, this important social function, but the juniors
believed in being prepared. They seemed to meet
all of their school situations in this ahead-of-the-
times stride. Born-to-be-leaders, the group fused
scholastic aptitude with social ingenuity and interest
with the result that class spirit was kept consistently
high and school spirit on a par with it.
Being "upper classmen" had its responsibilities and
the juniors were well able to meet them never losing
their youthful vivacity, yet tempering it with just a
touch of dignified restraint. Research papers came in
junior year and the reference shelves were well
rifled as the literary adventurers explored the mys-
teries of subjects ranging from volcanoes and atom
bombs to Mozart and Euthanasia! Lab sciences had
many of the group experimenting and obtaining the
most amazing results.
With the Holy Ghost as their patron for the year,
the juniors concentrated on the application of His
Gifts to their life in the scholastic, social and business
world. The future was a bit uncertain but they were
prepared to meet it.
Junior Presidents: David Miller, Phil Mitchell, Mary
Jo Dauw, James Hunter, William Lavery. Secretaries:
Joe Wood, Judy Hendricks, Janet Anderson, Mary
Lou Reidy, Phyllis Windy.

Juniors' Room
Q 3'
Facing Lincoln Park, heading the cafe-
teria stairs, and next door neighbor to
the Library, 203 proved an ideal Junior
Homeroom. Under the leadership of
James Hunter, president, committees di-
rected the social, spiritual, and extra-
curricular activities of the group. Holidays
were observed in festive spirit with games,
stunts, and music. Group planning and
participation in religious practices ac-
cording to the season, oFfered an incen-
tive for working more seriously at self-
sanctification. Panel discussions of cur-
rent issues and problems' helped to mold
the thinking of future Christian citizens.
Junior Room 203 reflects on the achieve-
ment of a happy fruitful year and antici-
pates "Senior Year" with eager expec-
tancy.

As members of this happy family, "302"
is a symbol of pleasant days at Alleman.
An intensified program of activities under

mallow roast, and a ping-pong tourna-
ment.

"We are sure that from homeroom 306
will come good Catholic leaders and what
is equally important-some who can fol-
low, too." This statement is typical of
306. Not only is leadership shown by
this homeroom but also scholarship, musi-
cal talent, and sportsmanship.
As we turn the pages of our scrapbook,
we will recall the bubbling laughter be-
fore 8:25 in the morning, the frantic last-
minute reviewing of the H2O's of chemis-
try, and "sum esse" of Latin. This room
is proud to be a part of Alleman, in
their daily prayers they ask continued
blessings for the faculty, school, and
students.

Sophomores
"Keep their spirits bright . . . Keep them in
the grace of God's hilarious delight" . . .
And that's iust where the sophomores seemed
to be most of the time. The "school daze"
of the freshman year had been supplanted
with an exuberant participation in all school
activities from the incidental classes to the
glorious round of athletics, dances, skating
parties, marshmallow roasts and between-
class gab-fests. The gaiety and exhilarating
joy of living that belongs only to sophomores
prevaded the six sophomore homerooms
and overflowed to both upper and under
classmen.
Class schedules were pretty well settled
now. The courses that appealed to various
talents and abilities of the second year boys
and girls were marked by a lively intense-
ness that was felt even in the required Eng-
lish, math and religion classes. With sopho-
more boys playing on the first string of the
Varsity football and basketball squads, in-
terest in the school sports program ran high
and wide. Some of the heartiest cheering
and sincerest backing for the teams came
from this eager and loyal group composed
of TOT boys and TOO girls.

Sophomores' Room BIO
Homeroom 310 boomed with activities
planned and sponsored by the tive com-
mittees formed in the class. A ping-pong
tournament was held in the class room.
An ice-skating party was held at Lincoln
Park during the cold months. "Charades",
"Twenty Questions", and "What Would
You Do?", were played by the entire
class. A popular tunes contest was held
and the favorite songs of the class mem-
bers were played and sung. "Courtesy"
was the topic of a panel discussion held
before the class. Through these activities
the class members came to know and to
co-operate with each other better.

Highlights of Room 21O's activities were
somewhat on the competitive side when
18 boys and 18 girls outdid themselves
by putting their "best foot forward." Re-
member the amateur programs . . . the
Christmas "get-together"-the "Do you
know Quiz?" The girls received their
innings, however, on Valentine's Day.
Book jackets, posters and the Catholic
Press skit were worthy products of their

Sophomores' Room 2I7
The Homeroom motto "Christ is the Way,
the Truth, the Life," is well chosen by 217.
Here they combine the study of the Life
of Christ with guidance proiects, and hold
active discussions on the application of
Christ's life to their own. These students
are preparing for active Catholic citizen-
ship now, in order to become Christian
citizens ofthe future-the aim of a Catho-
lic high school.
Class meetings follow parliamentary pro-
cedure. Class officers are: June Koos, Bob W
Garrison, and Joyce DeSmet. Judy An-
derson represents the Class in the stu-
dent council. Room 2'I7 ranks high in
scholastic achievement. It claimed champ-
ionship in soccer and in volleyball, and
a Varsity star, Tom Hoogerwerf.

The only homeroom in the school with
housing accommodations for "Harvey"
. . . "Harvey", that amazing and delight-
ful personality, and the fun he furnished
the sophomores in 214 . . . unforgettable!
Under the able leadership of Dick De-
Witte and Carol DeRoo this homeroom
became the scene for class meetings and
activities before, during, and after school
. . . and a Christmas Party.
Room 214 produced celebrities in Alle-
man's world of sports . . . Jim Wells,
that "Athlete of Athletes" . . . Fred De-
Coster and his winning touchdown in the
homecoming game with Schlarmen! Four
Varsity players, with two years ahead.
What a football team it will be!
No apologies for girls' sports. They had
little success at volleyball and soccer but
under Captain Delores Wietlespach how
they did play basketball: 217 should
know!

Sophomores' Room 208
"Leadership" is the motto of the sopho-
mores of Room 208. Leadership in social
activities, religious life, and scholastic
ratings-they concentrate on the theory
during activity periods and then put it
into practice in school-and outside, too.
Leadership in the sports field is also a
must for these snappy sophs. Be they
spectators in the stand, cheering lustily,
or the high scoring athletes-they aim to
do it well with that school spirit that
marks them "all-out for Alleman."

"Variety is the spice of life" and of home-
room 315 also. Each day's activity period
is varied to suit the social, scholastic and
religious needs of these up-to-the-minute
Sophomores. Lively discussions, some-
times heated, but always good-willed,
fill in those lonely "scant period" days.
Teen age problems and current school
interests head the list of timely topics.
The longer periods feature social pro-
grams, games, movies, records and sing-
ing.
All Alleman -activities receive their co-
operation and interest. Such co-opera-
tion was shown in their proiect to help
make the patron drive for the year bool
a success.

September 8 . . . 1950 . . . Something new
been added to Alleman . . . to be exact
176 Freshman girls and boys had come to
help swell the school enrollment to a total
of 616 for its second year. ln spite of the
cards grasped firmly in each freshie's hand
that read "You will be in homeroom x with
Sister Mary ........,.. as your adviser,"
befuddled youngsters roamed the corridors
utterly lost and perfectly miserable. Where
was the glory that had been theirs just two
short months ago when they had been THE
PEOPLE at the nearby grade school? No-
body seemed to know or care that they had
been chief patrol boys and sodality perfects
and school yard directors, and no sooner
would they find the right room for algebra,
than a bell would ring sending them out into
the endless corridors in search of Latin 214.
Even the Student Council officers who helped
them make sense out of the puzzling sched-
ules, were a bit frightening . . . they were
so big and so sure of everything. And the
Sisters . . . all different varieties and in
spite of their friendly smiles so very inscru-
table . . .
October 8, 1950 . . . Just one month had
passed and the freshies had definitely "or-
rived." Even Schedule Six on First Fridays
couldn't fool them any more. They were
"Hi"ing everyone in corridors iust like the
smoothest seniors and making the next class
right on the buzz of the second bell. Of-
ficers were soon elected, Student Council
activities entered into the fresh scholastic,
and social life soared to new and exciting
heights . . . The green faded and freshies
took on the true-blue Alleman spirit.

"The Hall of Mirrors" is Homeroom 127-
the name the freshies gave it. They saw
themselves not only in the glass on the
cases, but also in the acting of their class-
mates as they dramatized rules of eti-
quette, methods of acquiring leadership,
and scholarship.
There was no activity-not even guidance
movies, sports, nor singing-which gave
more joy to them than the daily visit of
a dignified senior who gave that "first
call to lunch."

If there is any hidden talent in any mem-
ber of Room 129, that talent will not be
as o light under a bushel. Surrounded
with musical instruments, song books, and
musical equipment, these students should
produce something outstanding in band
or chorus. The activity period is spent
amid biology specimens-so watch the
freshmen from Room 129 for great things
in the future of Alleman.

We feel pretty lucky at having Room
216 as our homeroom. Ordinarily 216
isn't a lucky number but it is for us. We
enjoy every moment we spend in it during
Religion and Activity periods. While we
were studying the Unit on the Liturgical
Year we had a miniature altar in our
room complete with all the vestments and
other articles used by the priest at Mass.
During activity period we gave Mario-
nette Shows to other Homerooms. Ours
were Variety shows. Our latest-a three
act play-entitled "The Antics of Tom

Freshmen Room 207
The freshmen of homeroom 207 have
sponsored activities ranging from the
sublime to the ridiculous. They started
their scholastic year with a program in-
cluding discussions of the opportunities
and ideals offered them at Alleman, fol-
lowed by discussions on scholarship and
school citizenship. Less serious activities
included holiday programs, farcical skits,
and games.
By participating in all sports and social
affairs and by attending classes, retreat,
and weekly religious conferences, the
members of homeroom 207 have had op-
portunity to develop physically, mentally,
and spiritually into true Allemanites.

Home Room 225 has learned to work
together Ktheir honor roll list has been
an imposing onej and to play together.
On the fun side there was a wiener roast
and a particularly enjoyable Christmas
program. They will not soon forget the
melodramatic play "Love Finds a Way"
featuring an all boy cast. Athletic inter-
est varied-the boys excelling in basket-
ball and the girls in soccer and volley-
ball. Room 225 was a happy, congenial
group who enjoyed the "green" but
"golden" days of their freshman year.
Homemaking
The Homemaking course this year contrasted definite-
ly with the 1949-50 program. A two year plan
organized to develop the skills and ideals of Catholic
homemaking was initiated by Sister Mary Francile,
BVM. instructions included the planning and prepara-
tion of appetizing and vitaminizing meals: selection
of becoming clothes to fit every occasion, child care,
first aid and the correct thing to do in any' and all
social situations.
The practical elements of good homemaking were
ever stressed, of course, but more than this were the
instructions and actual practice in the social refine-
ments so necessary for the cultured Catholic woman.
Up-to-the-minute equipment including all the home
appliances from a deep-freeze and electric sewing
machines to modern stoves enabled the girls to put
into practice the principles of good homemaking.

A day at Alleman is a day with Christ.
His presence is felt and acknowledged
each period from the pre-school Mass in

With the front pages screaming of "Strategic Re-
treats," Alleman students took renewed interest in
the word which to them meant three days of with-
drawal from the world. As a general leads his troops,
Monsignor Raymond O'Brien of Blessed Sacrament
parish in Chicago led the youth of Alleman during
the conferences held in the gym, November 14, 'l5
and 16.
A retreat confession by each student was Monsignor's
primary aim. If the long lines that formed outside
the numerous confessionals were any indication, he
was most successful in achieving his desire.
To help the students keep the spirit of retreat the
senior Journalism class edited "The Retreatantf' This
paper came out each day of retreat. It included a
summary of each conference, retreat schedules, and
articles designed to keep spiritual matters in the
foreground!
During the retreat the students kept silence
for three days. Three days of recollection
-recollection of their lives, lives which per-
haps often offended God.
Retreat ended with Mass- On the altar were
placed the retreat resolutions of each stu-
dent. Monsignor took these sealed resolu-
tions with him promising to return them dur-
ing the latter part of the school year so that
the students could check them to see how
they had lived up to their retreat resolves.
Although retreat ended on November 16 the
grace and ideals that the students gained at
that time did not cease but would continue
on through the years and would help them
long after the retreat of 1950 had been for-
gotten.

Catholic Action sparks almost every
movement of the Alleman students.
Each month Catholic Action finds
a place in the lite of students at
Alleman. In October it was the ros-
ary, November the Poor Soul's and
December the ioyous season of Ad-
vent. At Christmas the Home Eco-
nomics class packed Christmas
cookies and stulted toys to send to
orphanages.
As 1951 dawned the students again
kept pace with Catholic Action.
In February the AllemaNews spon-
sored an oratorical contest on "The
Catholic Press in America." Stations
of the Cross were said every day
throughout Lent. All during the
month of March thoughts turned
toward vocations and the future of
Alleman students.
From September until June one of
the foremost thoughts in the minds
of Alleman students is "What can
we do to promote Catholic Action?"

In order to familiarize the parents of Alleman
students with its faculty and school facilities the
Alleman Home and School Association, under
the direction of Reverend Richard Powers, went
into its second year of activity. The monthly meet-
ings, being not only social but also at a business
nature, made it possible for the mothers to meet
the teachers and discuss with them the problems
of their children. With this in mind the initial ac-
tivity ot the year was Parents' Night held on
October 6. The parents followed their child's
schedule through a "day" of fifteen-minute pe-
riods.
To aid the school financially the Association spon-
sored a card party and bake sale at the LeClaire
Hotel in Moline in November. On February l2,
the mothers attended a Day of Recollection con-
ducted by Rt. Reverend Monsignor Murray Haas,
rector of St. Mary's Cathedral, Peoria.

To stimulate an interest in further experiment in
the field of Art and also to give those who are
anxious to go ahead, a greater scope in which
to broaden their experiences, members of the art
class organized The Palette and Brush Club. Joyce
Baker was chosen President and Don Bookman
secretary.
One of the first projects they engaged in was
the making of linoleum blocks, not just in one
color, but in two. This took precision and patience
but the results were satisfying. Club members used
gt lg
7fjt
these blocks to make Christmas cards. They also
made spattered greeting cards. After lettering in
an appropriate verse, they made envelopes to
match, thus completing the project.
In February they made posters for Catholic Press
Month. They decided this year to do the unusual.
They did. One poster was done in plastic wood
fwhich they made themselves, of wood flour, a
little glue and flour and water pastel. It was
in bas relief and very effective. Another they did
all in cut paper. The soft gray effect of the news-
paper background, with the black and white of
the letters, made a striking poster.
Their next project was in ceramics. They planned
ro make murals representing Father Alleman's
coming to Rock Island one hundred years ago.
ln February the club visited the Municipal Art
Gallery in Davenport, Iowa, where they enjoyed
seeing and discussing the various displays of paint-
ing and ceramics.
Joe Drefchinski, Tom Wangler, George Baumgarn, Charles White, Gayle Hewitt, and Joyce Baker make

"Prof," Murrin, as his classmates call him, took
his radio club through all the mental and physical
gymnastics required to understand and construct
radio sets, whether crystal or superheterodyne.
Gerald-the "Prof,"-learned radio during his

and at Alleman. He was one of the members of
Alleman's first class of graduates.
Meetings of the club were held regularly on Tues-

and to learn how to build radios, lt is the ambition
of all the class to become a "ham" operator. The
closest to this goal is Alfred Wannepain, a sopho-
more, who is in the above picture.
Much of the equipment, which the club used,
was loaned to them by Father O'Connor-an
amateur radio technician of the nth degree.

Cheering everyone at the strategic moment
was Sr. M. Emmanuel, who proudly points

advice and gifts of equipment from Mr.

"Terra, terrae" and "fui" echo

What does a Latin Club clo? That's

it was first proposed. Bringing the
Romans back to lite-what they ate,
how they lived, what they did to
make them famous-this has been
one proiect. Composing original
crossword puzzles, working out
others, singing Latin songs, varying
from "Ave, Ave, omnes hic" to
Christmas carols and patriotic selec-
tions, even trying a hand at easy
Latin plays, and understanding the
Latinlot the Mass have been other
interesting features of Club meet-

These Latin I classes are finding
out that Latin isn't as "dead" a lan-
guage as it is made out to be.

"Food for thought" is fine for sev-

comes a time when active teen-

more substantial. Probably fifth and
sixth periods which meet in the
cafeteria are the most popular ones

being the spice of food as well as
life, students find their menu well
seasoned with tempting nutritious
meals suited to meet the demands
of healthy and definitely hearty
appetites. These menus materialize

For that extra something the snack
bar is ever ready to provide a tasty

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
After nine highly successful years at Spalding Institute
in Peoria, the Reverend Sylvester Palacz was named
athletic director of Alleman high school during the
summer of 1950. Included among the phases of work
taken over by Father Palacz are head baseball coach,
assistant football mentor and teaching duties besides
handling all athletic business. While at the Peoria school
for boys, Father Palacz produced and promoted great
sports squads among which was a third place state
winner in the T948 baseball tdurnament and a "sweet
sixteen" entry in the 1950 Illinois state basketball finals.

Bob Maloney, first Alleman coach, and Father Palacz, the new
athletic director, along with first year tutors Don Morris and .loe
Lucas formed the administration of Pioneer athletics during the
school year of 1950-51. Both Morris and Lucas are all-time
greats of St. Ambrose college. Their addition with the athletic
director and Maloney laid the concrete to an outstanding athletic
department. Mantor Maloney served his second and final term
as grid coach while Don Morris took over the basketball and
track reins while being an assistant football coach in addi-
tion to this. Coach Lucas served as assistant in football, basket-

FOOTBALL EASON
Daring to venture into the realm of powerhouse
play by undertaking a schedule few schools would
try in their second football season, the Alleman
Pioneer grid squad ground out a four and five
record in 1950 under the guidance of head coach
Bob Maloney. Starting off slowly and picking up
momentum as the nine game schedule rolled on,
the Pioneers hit the top when they edged Schlar-
man of Danville 27 to 26 in a real thriller-diller.
Alleman's initial triumph was a 7 to 6 nudging of
Joliet Catholic. Coach Maloney's pre-season work
paid off as Cork Wietlispach scored the lone
Pioneer touchdown while Dick Bell converted to
supply the margin of victory. Champaign's supe-
rior speed whizzed past the Pioneers in the second
game as the Maroons won, 29 to 0. lt was the
first whitewashing in Pioneer grid history.
Paced by Wietlispach and Jim Breuwet, the Alle-
A 34 to 0 score is little indication

played in the finale. Mooseheart

man gridders dazzled Marquette of Ottawa 32
to 6 in the third tilt as the Maloneymen raced for
389 yards on the turf. St. Ambrose stopped the
Pioneers a week later, however, with a 19 to 6
defeat.
Mentor Maloney whipped his gridders into shape
the next week, and they overpowered St. Bede in
every department except scoring as the Bedans
won 7 to 6. Burlington, Iowa extended the Pioneer
losing streak by administering a 31 to 6 blow a
week later. Then came Schlarman.
After holding a 20 to 7 third period lead, the
Schlarman crew was caught in the Pioneer ava-
lanche of 20 points in the fourth quarter to lose,
27 to 26. Spalding of Peoria couldn't stop the
Allemaneers in the next game as 20 points was
enough to overcome Spalding's 13 in a tight
game.

Pre-season speculations tabbed the Pioneer
backfield as the squad's outstanding strong
point. However, a series of fullback iniuries
which eventually touched every single Alle-
man fullback and the lack of experience
in the squad's newer members upset the
apple cart. The main load of work fell on
Cork Wietlispach and Jim Breuwet while
veteran .lack Collins was slowed by injuries.
As a result the Pioneer line was the shining
point last season. Tackle Bob Degen, ends
Clint Westemeyer and Chuck Frizol along
with center Jerry Forslund bolstered the
forward wall. Weight and power accented
the Maloney line and served as a fine back-
field stalwart. Mert Rogers topped the center
portion of Coach Maloney's wall in aggres-
siveness and firmly established himself as an
ostended guard. '

Although Les Massarollo did not play on the
Alleman line he did open some eyes with
his backfield work. Les attended East Moline
High in his junior year and played on the
Panthers' wall. Maloney switched the speedy
Massarollo to fullback and he was caught
in the indiscriminatory iniury machine but
still was able to boot-his specialty. On sev-
eral occasions Les punted over 60 yards and
his seasonal average was 32.
Coach Maloney also did some changing with
Clint Westemeyer who was a Pioneer co-
captain. Westemeyer moved from halfback
to a wing spot. Clint was the pace setter on
pass defense and aerial receiving, his spirit

Coaches Joe Lucas and Don Morris led the sophomore grid
squad. Don Morris coached the final two games while Lucas
handled the initial three tilts. For the most part the coaches
had to go without the services of their excelling sophomores
because of varsity promotion. This hurt the squad but it also
helped to develop boys who would ordinarily never get to
frequent the turf. Coach Morris led the frosh crew in their
only game and the outcome was a 7 to 6 loss to Annie
Wittenmyer.

First Pioneer head football, basketball and

Pioneer tutoring chores on January 23, l95l.
Mr, Maloney thus brought to a close the
initial formative stage of Alleman sports.
His record at Alleman was "excellent" Dur-
ing the two season term as grid mentor he
produced two fine squads which compiled
a combined ten won and seven loss record.
Much of the credit must go to Mr. Maloney
for his part in laying the foundation of fu-

Action against St. Ambrose envolves a wrestling
An enthusiastic, experienced group of ball players
eagerly await the coming season after the gruelling
but interesting 1950 games. One key note is common
among most of themgyouth. Last year's six or seven
sophomores with probable starting positions will
return in 1951. This fast crew will return with the more
mature senior element to mold what may be Alle-
man's most successful season. However, the outlook
on the schedule looms as a probable back-strainer
as the Pioneers once again enter the tough circles
with Mooseheart, Burlington and St. Bede back on
the schedule.

Basketball
After a highly successful sports career at St. Ambrose College, Daven-
port, Iowa, Don Morris moved his polished coaching wares to Alleman
High where he is now serving as head basketball coach. Morris is one
of the chief plums in the revamped Pioneer athletic department. He
reached his greatest height with the Ambrosians after gaining coach-
ing experience during the last war as player-coach of the 390th bomb
group.
An All-Iowa Conference honor, an All-Midwest honor and an All-Slate
honor have highlighted Coach Morris' playing career. These recog-
nitions along with a natural coaching ability make Mentor Morris
stack up as one of the finest coaches in the area.
96
Showing real improvement all along the line over
the first season of play, the Alleman basketball
quintet carried an even slate in 24 games for a
seasonal record of twelve wins and twelve losses.
Under Don Morris, yearling mentor, the squad
made fine impressions by jumping to a good
start before tapering off in the center of the
season with a series of narrow losses, only to
revive strongly at the final stage of the year.
Team work and spirit are chiefly credited with the
improvement. Statistical improvement is the prod-
uct of the spirited hardwood activity.
Rolling up 1203 points, 397 more than in the
initial season, the Pioneer squad used the fast
break for most of the season. About 1619 shots
were taken from afield by the Islander Irish, an
increase of 664 over the 1949-50 schedule. Of-
fensively, the Morris club potted an average of
50.1 points per game as compared with a 38.3
average during first year competition. Four hun-
dred and sixty-seven field goals were racked up
by the second season crew as bucked by 290 in
the initial season.
Floor leader and captain, Frank Coopman, in co-
ordination with high scorer, Tom Hoogerwerf,
paced in the Pioneers in setting plays and working
the fast break. However, it cannot be stressed too

much that the 1950-51 quintet was not a one man,
or even two man squad-it was the result of team
work and fair play.
For their record-setting efforts in the Erie Holiday
Invitational Tournament, the Morris squad re-
ceived the first hoop trophy in Pioneer basketball
history. In winning the laurels a new Alleman high
scoring record was set as Geneseo fell before the
Islander attack 84 to 69. It was with this game
that Hoogerwerf developed into a potent and
proven scorer.
From the Erie tourney to the Regional meet the
Pioneers scored over 50 points in eight different
games, a feat done only twice in the entire first
season. Hoogerwerf played a maior role in this
scoring as he set an Alleman individual scoring
record of 250 points. The agile sophomore took
284 shots, a record, and made 101 field goals,
another record. Coopman set a free throw record
by potting 68 tosses in 102 charity attempts, an-
other mark.
Bill Lavery, Ed Rodts, Gene Oliver, Hoogerwerf,
Jim DeWulf, Jim Wells and Dick Pingel are likely
actors for the 1951-52 basketball scene, while
such commendable performers as Clint Weste-
meyer, Don Anderson, Jerry Forslund, Terry Hew-
itt and Coopman will pass from the Pioneer camp.

Baseball action for Alleman high school in its first
year was led by Coach Bob Maloney whose squad
posted a commendable 7 won and 7 loss record in
opening competition. Paced by the battery team of
Mike Corken, pitcher, and Bert Westemeyer, catcher,
the Pioneer nine compiled 53 runs to the opponent's
48 tallies. On April 15, 1950 in the first half of a
doubleheader, Corken twirled a five inning no-hit,
no-run tilt. With five lettermen returning to back the
squad, Reverend Sylvester Palacz took over coaching
reins in April, 1951.

Led by point-getter Frank Coopman, the Alleman golf
squad totaled two victories during the 1950 season
in competition with Quad-City clubs. Rock Island and
East Moline toppled once apiece to the Pioneer link-
sters while also picking up a win apiece. Davenport,
St. Ambrose and Moline boasted a clean slate
against the Pioneers, however. Under Right Reverend
Msgr. Jordan, coach, Coopman, Don Sleezer, Steve
Speltz, Joe Wood, Dave Miller, Gene De Bo and Joe
Loontiens cooperated and alternated places in the
tournaments most of which were tri-meets.
I TRA-MURALS
Twenty squads formed the boys' intra-mural basket-
ball group organized during the 1950-51 hoop sea-
son. Father Palacz, Coach Morris and Coach Lucas
operated the organization which was divided into a
Junior-Senior League and a Freshman-Sophomore
League. The games were played in the evenings and
each squad had up to eight players.
Jim Breuwet, Don George, Joe Wood, Cork Wietlis-
pach and Dick Iverson, all members of team six in
the Junior-Senior League, copped the title by being
undefeated. They also won the play-offs 43 to 30
over team three. George scored 109 points in the
regular schedule to top the upper bracket while Fred
DeCoster counted 194 in the Frosh-Soph League.
Jim Shield, Dick Hourigan, Dan Beatty, Bob Coop-
man, Florencio Ramirez and DeCoster won the title
of the Frosh-Soph League with team two but lost
the play-offs to team three. In March an all-school
tourney operated with 16 squads participating.

GIRLS'
TH LETICS
The girls' athletic department at Alleman is the
center of activity in the line of girls' sports. Miss
Vann, physical education teacher, has a program
worked out for the girls that is different and has
endless variety. All kinds of sports are played. ln
the fall the girls compete in volleyball, soccer, and
bowling. Right in the winter, basketball is being
played fast, and furious.l As spring comes on,
baseball and tennis and swimming capture the
spotlight. Throughout the year, various tourna-
ments are played. The four classes so enioy play-
ing each other to decide who's tops! Then in the
spring the girls held a program to which the public
was invited. This climaxed the work the girls had
spent throughout the year on rhythm and original
folk dances.

Bowling
and
Rhythm
The Paladium and Bowladrome were popu-
lar places for Alleman girls on Thursday and
Friday nights this year. There was the ear-
satisfying crash of ten pins as many strikes
and spares were chalked up on those nights.
There were some crack bowlers among the
girls. Mary Ann Morris, Senior, claims the
top honors as she maintained a consistent
120 average. Top individual score goes to
Shirley Strobe, sophomore, when she rolled
a game of l72.
Of interest this year was that some of the
better bowlers competed in the State-Mail-
Tournament. They rolled a 3-line game at
the Bowladrome, and the five best scores
were sent in. The lucky winners were: Shirley
Sheridan, Bunny Sladek, Mary Lou McEnany,
Gloria Castelein, and Mary Ann Heydeman.
Rhythm constituted an important part of
Miss Vann's gym program. It taught the girls
to be light on their feet, and to have grace
and poise. The girls might have felt silly run-
ning across the gym floor on their toes, but it
made new women of them. The basic dance
were also taught to the girls, so they
steps
could cut a pretty caper on any dance
floor! These included the waltz and the
polka. Exercises are wonderful, and the girls
had plenty of those, too. The ones to belittle
the waist, and straighten the shoulders were
two among many.

Soccer
This year at Alleman soccer was introduced
to the girls. The girls took to it like ducks to
water and really enioyed it. The soccer
team consists of forwards, backs and a
goalie to watch the goal posts. The for-
wards of each team can maneuver over the
whole floor and try to kick the ball between
the opponent's goal posts. This is a fast
game, and many a girl was panting before
it was over. There were constant clashes as
a forward and back rushed toward each
other. But the girls gallantly picked them-
selves up and returned to the game with
renewed vigor. The game was played in
tournaments after school, on a homeroom
basis. The Senior champs were homeroom
324, captained by Pat Hutton. 308 was the
tops of the Juniors. Among the Sophs, 217
triumphed. And homeroom T29 claimed the
honors for the Freshies.

More Sports
Basketball was always the consistent favorite
of the girls. Though their games were not as
fast and furious as the boys', they were every
bit as exciting. However there were some
hot-shots among the girls and these played
the forward positions. This is because only
the forwards can shoot in the girl's rules.
Miss Vann let the girls use the unlimited
dribble for the first time this year. Excit-
ing tournament games were held after
school. The girls owe their thanks to Miss
Vann, and Sister Vera, their competent ref-
erees.
Volleyball proved another popular sport.
The girls soon became adept at setting up
the ball and spiking it over the net. At times,
play became so exciting the girls just
yelled and hopped up and down. ln tour-
nament play, Neva Murphy's team of 301
was champ of the Seniors. 302 claimed
honors for the Juniors. Among the Sophs,
310 was tops. Homeroom 225 won the hon-
ors for the Freshmen.

All of this was but a prelude to the events of Fri-
day, October 27, the big day! In the afternoon
twenty-five cars paraded through the business dis-
tricts of Moline and Rock Island accompanying the
queen and her attendants, who rode in converti-
bles. Tension mounted as game time approached.
Hearts were heavy at halftime with Alleman trail-
ing Schlarman 20-7 but the Pioneers came back
and with two minutes left in the game, tied the
score 20-20. Schlarman promptly scored again, but
determined to win, Alleman made another touch-
down and the conversion and the final score was
Alleman 27, Schlarman 26. Amid tears of
lusty shouts, and wild cheers, the team ran off the
field. Alleman's first homecoming was one that will

The social activities at Alleman got under
way this year the first day of school when
"The Fledgling's First Flight" was held in
the gymnasium. The purpose of this dance
was to welcome the freshmen to Alleman.
Something new was added to Alleman's
social activities as the first annual homecom-

October 26. The dance climaxed the first
day of homecoming festivities which con-
tinued for two days, October 26 and 27.

scene of the "Costume Caper," the Hallo-

To start the Christmas vacation off with a
bang the second annual "Sox Hop," which
was sponsored by the iournalism class, was
held on December 20. Tom Flatley, senior,
and Lou Rae Colman, sophomore, were chos-

On December 29 the iunior and
senior class welcomed the alumni to
the "Snowflake Soiree," a dance
that it is hoped will become an an-
nual affair.
The first dance to be held in the
cafeteria this year was the "Pioneer

Catholic Press
ln cooperation with the Catholic School Press As-
sociation and the Commission on American Citizen-
ship sponsored by the Catholic University of Amer-
ica, the staff of the AllemaNews strives to keep the
paper as timely as the encyclicals, as Catholic as
the church and as thought-provoking as the par-
ables. Writers aim to give the news in the light
of Christian principles realizing that it is through
the press that Christ can be brought back into
secular life, and a strong Christian culture can
again predominate in the modern world.
Student journalists strive to become competent
writers in order that they may wield effectively
this "sword of the spirit" . . . to restore all things
in Christ. "There is only one tragedy in life," says
Leon Bloy, "and that is not to be a saint." lt is
the aim of the Catholic press to assist both re-
porters and writers in the attaining of this end.
AllemaNews reporters realize that they are their
brothers' keepers. The opportunity to lead Joe
and Bob and Marian to Christ is theirs. The Stu-
dent newspaper is a powerhouse. Propelled by the
motor of Christianity within, it is a dynamic force.
Catholic writing should be the best writing since
it alone is based on solid fundamental teachings.
Therefore the young Catholic journalists enter into
competition with fellow writers from New York to
San Francisco, from Anchorage, Alaska to New
Mexico. The winning results are gratifying because
they prove that your writing is only as good as
your message and motivation.

The Extension Magazine national contest for teen-
agers has been a powerful incentive to good high
school writing during the past few years. Last
year, Jackie Whitacre had a poem published in
the magazine. This year, soaring ahead in the
national competition, senior, Mary Kay Glynn
rated as one of the four teen-board editors of the
publication.
This entitles Mary Kay to the thrill of editing an
issue of Extension and having published her origi-
nal short story for children, a character sketch of
Miss Catherine Colligan, a series of interviews of
student opinions on the effects of television on
modern critical thinking and a survey of the trials
and thrills of a yearbook production.

Steve Speltz congratulates winners of the oratorical contest, Jean Lad-
kin, David Miller, and James Breuwet.
The purpose of the contest was to encourage in-
terest in and enthusiasm for the Catholic Press in
America. The contest was open to any Alleman
iunior or senior. Eliminations were made through
the English classes. Acting as judges in the finals
were Mrs. Mary Haelvaert of the speech depart-
ment of Marycrest College and Misses Jacque Fass
and Kay O'Connell student teachers of dhdmatics.
Contestants were judged on poise, personality,
delivery and message.
This year saw the opening of Alleman's
initial speech department, which consisted
of three classes. The dramatic coaches of
these classes were the Misses Jacqueline
Faas, Pat Byrnes, and Kay O'Connell.
The play, "Don't Tell a Soul," a satire based
on gossip, was presented by all three classes
during the various study halls.
The aim of the Alleman Dramatic Club is to
promote interest in dramatics and to un-
cover previously hidden talents.
Topics ranged from the history of the Catholic
Press to its necessity in the modern weary, war
torn world. The weaknesses and strong points of
the press were shown as well as present day out-
standing Catholic writers. All the talks led to one
conclusion. With conflicting reports on current
news only the Catholic Press can be depended up-
on to give the truly Christian outlook on the
happening.

Vocations
Undoubtedly, the most important decision that a
high school student must make is his choice of a
vocation. Will he choose as 95 percent of all
American youths do, the marriage state? Perhaps
his life is to be spent doing God's work as a
diocesan priest, or in a religious order. A few
will find happiness in the single state with lives
dedicated to the work they have chosen.
Realizing that student life was their vocation of
the moment, Allemanites concentrated on making
each day, each class, each assignment a stepping-
stone to vocational plans of the future. With the
war situation making an in-service term almost
inevitable, the boys determined to make the best
use of this period by studying the military situa-
tion and striving to enter into fields for which they
knew themselves to be best equipped.
During Vocation month movies, panel discussions,
bulletin board displays and homeroom activity
programs emphasized the qualifications necessary
for the successful and happy living of each of the
three states. In addition to the prayer for voca-
tions recited each morning before religion period,
a special Mass celebrated in the gym on the feast
of Our Lady of Dolors had religious vocations at
Alleman as its main intention.
Since the regular Alleman curriculum is geared to
fit the student for life not only in this world but
also in the next, vocational guidance emphasized
the necessity of the individuaI's thoughtful, and
prayerful consideration of a vocation and of his
own private way of life he was to follow.
Terry Hewitt, Don Sleezer and Bob De Smet inspect
vocational display.

The luniors enjoy a movie while Terry operates.
The ever-present lure of the chemistry and
biology laboratories, the home economics and
industrial arts departments is being rivalled by
a spacious room done in deep green way up
in the northeast corner of Alleman. The spot
is designated at Room 301. An assignment to
Room 301 was welcome news to the Alleman-
ites during 1950-1951 for Room 301 housed
promises of the mysterious, the unknown. To
the students Room 301 meant movies. And
every American loves a show.
But the movies of Room 301 are only part of
the visual aids used by the Visual Education
Department which claimed Room 301 as its
center. And even the movies of Room 301 had
a definite "Schoolish" purpose, namely, to
help the Allemanites learn faster and better.
The military personnel of World War ll had
succeeded in accelerating its educational pro-
gram up to fifty and sixty per cent with visual
aids, so healthily modern Alleman provided its
students with the same learning helps. To pro-
vide the necessary devices, Father O'Connor
asked Sister Mary Arthur to organize the
Visual Education Department in the fall of
1950. Helping her were Larry Vander Vennet,
a sophomore, who kept the department rec-
ords, and Tom Valiquette, a senior, who man-
aged the equipment. The original skeleton staff
of operators trained in-service some thirty
operators who care for the operation of de-
vices within their own classes and during their
free periods.
Audio-visual
As part of the program, Room 301 was
changed from a bright white classroom of
1949-50 to a deep green, sound-proof, shaded
proiection room where movies and filmstrips
could be shown under the best possible con-
ditions. As the center of audio-visual activities
during 1950-51 school year, the room felt its
cupboards filling with equipment-a 16 mm.
movie projector, a strip-film projector, one per-
manent and two portable screens, a wire re-
corder, two record players and complete al-
bums of records for Macbeth, Merchant of
Venice and Julius Caesar. Rental service of
films, strips, records was made available to
the teachers through the catalogs found in the
conference room of the library. The ordering
and arranging of schedules was done by the
department. The coming years promise further
expansion of the department's activities.

Ever-increasing in size, the Alleman
library, in its second year of existence,
added many books and magazines to
its growing collection. More extensive
reading, reference, and study were
made possible by the addition of bi-
ographies, fiction, poetry, and other
types of books as well as encyclo-
pedias, histories and general refer-
ence materials. The rack near the desk
was consistently filled with current is-
sues of news, science, sports, and
popular magazines for research or
enioyment.
Sister Wilfrid, O.P., and her assistants
were constantly on hand to provide
an inexhaustible source of information
for those students doing research.

Monsignor Jordan welcomes Father Casey to
Rock Island.
Announcement of the appointment of Monsignor
T. J. Jordan as president of the Alleman High
School Board was made on February 1 by the
Most Reverend Joseph H. Schlarman, Bishop of
Peoria. Monsignor Jordan is also replacing the
late Monsignor P. H. Durkin as Dean of this area
which comprises four counties. As Dean, Monsig-
nor Jordan is responsible for the spiritual and
temporal welfare of the clergy in 'this district.
This appointment is considered a distinction be-
cause there are only five other Deaneries in this
diocese. Not new at this work, Monsignor Jordan
was a Dean while serving as pastor at St.
Cecilia's, Peoria.
The Rev. Francis J. Casey of Odell was appointed
to succeed the late Rt. Rev. Msgr. P. H. Durkin
123
as pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic Church. Father
Casey was formerly pastor of St. Paul's parish,
Odell, where he had served since April 30, 1946.
He was born August 2, 1900, in Peoria. He re-
ceived his education at Spalding Institute in
Peoria, St. Viator's college in Bourbannis, and
Kenrick Seminary, St. Louis.
Ordained a priest on May 29, 1926, in St. Mary's
Cathedral, Peoria, he served first as an assistant
at St. Catherine's parish, Aledo, and then at lm-
maculate Conception Parish, Streator, and was
appointed pastor of St. Anne's Parish, Toluca, in
1930 and pastor of St. Malachy's, Geneseo, in
1939. He also served as a Lieutenant Commander
in the navy from 1943 to 1946.

'I'I'IE ARTIST
AND
'I'HE ARTISAN
The bust of Beethoven,
shown here, was carved by
Theodore J. Erdman, pat-
tern-maker and designer,
john Deere Van Brunt Com-
pany, Horicon, W'isconsin.
Q Q:,33'g,1E5gj'sg53'g
Ther-e's a kind of magic about some men, a sort
of wondrous wizardry that empowers them to
search out Beauty in its most secret hiding place
and bring it within the reach of folks like you
and me.
It's the kind of magic that enables the com-
poser to hear a melody in the silence of the night,
and to turn it into sound . . . that permits the
artist to lure a landscape from the spectrum, and
fasten it to canvas . . . that enables the artisan to
see an image in a block of oak, and to free it
from its prison.
And you and I are quick to recognize the
gifted ones, to offer ready pedestal to the Beauty
they create.
-A-u ..., W
.el
But, then, we must remind ourselves that much
the same skills belong to some who create func-
tionary things. We remember that the designer
must have the artist's eye, that the pattern-maker
must have the sculptorls touch . . . that all, in art
and industry, who aspire to excellence must have
two things in common-pride in their work and
an Hiffnite capacity for hzking paint."
11' i' 'A' 'A' 'k
An artisan in his own right, john Deere, more
than a century ago, set the standard of craftsman-
ship for those who have carried on his work,
when he said: "I shall never place my name on
an implement that hasn't in it the best that's in
mef'
