Dedication
Dedicate...to declare, to inscribe..
In so far as this yearbook will be held
sacred in the memories of Aquin students,
we dedicate it to Sister Mary Naomi, O.P.
We declare that throughout the past six
years she has been to us a loyal and
revered friend, and that during the years
to come we wish her to remember us as her
friends.
It is with feelings of deep devotion,
therefore, that we inscribe her name
upon the dedicatory leaf of this volume.

OPERATION SOPHOMORES
N 'Tenshun! All right, you guys and gals, you're no longer
brash tenderfeet. Having graduated from the ranks of lowly Fresh-
men I'll expect you to act like there are some brains in your heads
Companies 206 and 207 are your assignments. Courses will be taken
fn biblogy, religion, geometry, and English. OH! by the way, you
might welcome Private Dwayne Illes who transferred from Camp St.
Joseph's High in South Bend, Indiana. See that he gets acquainted
with everything. That's an order. Dismiss! H
HHow do you do, I'm the court recorder. Who's on trial, you
ask? The Sophomores. HTheir crime?n Failure to understand
geometry. The prosecution has just taken the stand. First witness
Pfc. Bob Schramm.H
His it true that during the month of October you were so busy
getting magazine subscriptions that you had no time whatsoever to
study geometry?N
UIt's true that I did get a lot of subscriptions-eighty-seven
dollars worth to be exact, but as for not studying geometry, well,
it soon became apparent that after a month of it I, and everyone
else in class were tunning into mixed-up squares trying to figure
it out. All we did was go around in circles.N
NAnd so it goes....Alas, the Sophomores are sentenced to a
mouth of concentrated study on geometry during which time all out-
side activities are forbidden.H
nMy name is Sergeant 0'Rougke. I'm here to brief you on
your basketball team-the puppies. It ought to be a good team, a
real good team with such capable men as Jerry Munda, Jerry Cassidy,
Jim Walz, Ronny Sharp, leading the field. I want you to attend
all of their games and cheer them up on to victory. That's an
order.n
The Christmas formal is the social highllghg of the year.
Karen Trunk escorted by Andy Hutmacher, and Brian Donahue squiring
Carol Medley are among those attending the yuletide dance.

January, tentatively called NGet to work month or it's the
guardhouse for you,N comes, and takes an eternity to pass. Mid-
term exams bring thoughts of going A.w.O.L. to less hardy Sophomores,
but, thank God, 1t's over.
Congratulations are extended to Sheila Bach on her accomplish-
ment of being the first of her classmates to attain a 3.0 average
on the honor roll.
The Villa Fund is a huge success as everyone from assistant
mess boy to commanding general tries to out do each other.
And shall we ever forget Father 0'Neill's wonderful Valentine
party. Practically every Sophomore from Aquin shows up at one time
of another during the evening.
The welcoming committee is again put into action upon the
arrival of Private Dave Nilles, and two weeks later Peg Heckler, at
the fort. -
Basketball season ends with a chorus of cheers for our fine
team which was victorious in almost every game theyplayed.
The fast approaching Mardi Gras engulfs us in a wave of ten-
sion and excitement. Pat Downing and Bob Schramm are chosen to
represent us. Decorating the gym is a great honor, and we go at
it whole-heartedly. With the aid of two Seniors the gym is trans-
figured into the most beautiful ballroom ever. Our Candidates
weren't king and queen, but the pride in all of our exercises,
soon fades away.
We find ourselves left with only the month of May. Prepara-
tions for the Spring musical are in full swing with Angela Vincer,
Janet Duray, Joan Smith, and Sheila Bach in good voice. And how
about that lucky Jim Martin getting a special preview of the Junior
Senior Prom? The Senior Sophomore breakfast is eagerly awaited by
all. Then we can feast in style.

When we, the members of the
Senior Class, set about to com-
pile the memories of our final
year at Aquin the haunting words
of the poet come to mind:
nThe earth hath bubbles,
as the water has,
And these are of them.
Whither are they vanished?
Into the airg and what seemed
corporal melted
As breath into the wind.
would they had stayed.
We undertook our pfqject
with the intention of presenting
in pictorial form the story of
our sojourn at A Q U I N. R
We have tucked within the .
pages of our book the record of
scholastic and extra-curricularr
achievement not of our own class
only, but of the other classes
as well.
Some day in the dusk-shadowed
future we shall be glad to leaf
through our volume of memories
and shall find it pleasing in
that day to recall the things
pictured here.

GOAL--- ----- ---ACCOMPLISHED
As we wandered slowly down the halls of Aquin our faces held a
look of wonderment and astonishment. We were really in high school!
e--N-Almost adults! But what was this all aboute---this changing
from room to room for every class? It only helped to mix up our
already confused minds a little more than before. Then some of those
subjects we had to take! Especially algebra! !hat a horrible thing-
didn't quite get it until we were half way through the year. Seems
ages past, but looking back it was only four years ago that we were
frightened freshmen who stood gawky-eyed at the big handsome senior
boys or those lucious senior girls. Incrediblei! Can't you just
picture Wayne sitting in algebra Hcharmingu Sister Eymard, or Art
Krieger sleeping through history class? REMEMBER the coo fun we had
trying to raise money for the Mardi Gras, but we found our efforts
in vain, because we came out last anyway? That year we were in-
troduced to that Greek language ----- Latin. REMEMBER the many times
Sister Marie Paul told Karen she'd talk to a wooden pole if it say
next to her---- -G! remember one of Dick Cramer's famous quips?
It was the year of our first Student Council with John Lampe and
Sam Cardinal elected unanimously to represent our class. REMEMBER
our great poetic contribution to the world. VThe Night Before
Christmasu which was written by any and everyone in the class, and
was published in the school newspaper by Dick Plowman, that dashing
young reporter? Then our class picnic!!!!!- ---- --the law of no
X
swimming was violated by several unmentionable parties ------ when 15
Clare Smith got all wet because Dolores was so interested in some
of the boys---L-Leonard's noisy firecrackers sending Maribeth into a
panic!i Oh, but those were the years!
Sure nuf! We were promoted to Sophomoresw ---- and that unforgetf'
able biology class! REMEMBER Janice's red face every time she was
sent out of the class---- ----- Mike and Nthe turtlen ---- moans and
groans at the sight of the grasshoppers? Couldn't forget geometry, --
all those squares and circles were too much for our pointed little
heads. Then Wayne sending post cards from New York----Judy Bean
squirting grapefruit in her bye at the senfof breakfast. That Stuff!!
Big wheels now. Watch out you underclassmenf! REMEMBER ------ ---
those parties? Janet's with Susie Goldsmith's cottonball picking
-----Anita's, where Dick Cramer and Carol did a new version of the
cake walt ------- Marcia's going away party ----- the Christmas party
with Sister Paulinus spinning the discs ---- -the Bunny Hop across
the picnic table at Dolores's house? Then the victory of the Mardi
Gras with our representatives Russ and Delores crowned king and'queen.
Winter ----- with a breakigg of ice by Pat Sieber ---- our operetta,
starring John Lampeg our Rudolph Valentino ---- Pat Cassidy's many
memory lines-119 wordsl. Then at last it was here. The big thing!!
Elem What a Prom it was. We really nsaid It With Music,N the theme
which was suggested by John Scanlon. The Grand March ,,,,, the prince
and princess, Bob and Judy, all helped to make it a Prom never to be
forgotten. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PAINT JOB! Real sharp looking study hall
now ----- A lasting trademark of the Class of H55H. Our class picnic
16
where Mary Ann fell ln, and Mary Beth almost landed in Nanother
worldu by way of a cliff ----- Kenny Dougherty and Mike Ciganek's
chase for the unknown man with the sun glasses and Schaffer pen -----
Deanna's mud stiffened shoes, and Carol's trip across the river to
retrieve her Hwalking shoes,H all helped to make the day full of fun.
Well, we never thought we'd make it!! Front door at last! The
first to the cafeteria at noon. Finally that big moment which every-
one had been looking forward to ------ Father Berg's Religion class e--+-
Dick Cramer with the Tribune mixed with a cup of Roosevelt made this
an interesting brew topped with Clare's Hwalk out.H Then the crazy
contest between Kay and Janet for honors ----- Mardi Gras kept us all
jumping. Kay won and made a very good queen. CAN WE FORGET ----- 7 :un
Geraldine's love for Macbeth ----- our Halloween party or our feeble
efforts to concentrate in bookkeeping-----our Easter dance--a big
success Cwe managed to come out'w1th a profitj--and the Easter Bunny!
-----Pat 0'Connell's playing monkey on the rafters. REMEM ER w---- ---
tryouts for our play, Song of Qernadette ----- the wonderful Prom
given us by the Juniors ----- the never to be forgotten picnic at White
Pines---or the noon reulnvous in 105 with Sister Cecilia presiding
over our antics.
These are some of the things which we will remember in the years to
come. As we walk out of Aquin for the last time, our diplomas
clutched tightly in our hands, we will look back over the four years
we have spent at Aquin. We have reached the end of our High School
Road, a long, rough, and bumpy ride, but one which all of us managed
happily to survive.
Good-by Aquin!

Success has marked the efforts of the Camera C1ub,another ot
our extra-curricular activities. Under the leadership of Wayne
Faist, President, Pat 0'Connell, vice-president, Mary Beth McCurdy,
secretary and Janet Luecke, Treasurer, we have had a lot of fun,--
fun at meetings, fun teaching the Freshmen and other new members and
we have gained much valuable experience. We are already looking
forward to next year's Nshutter-bugn club.

Our hats off to Sam
Cardinal and the terrific
job he did in the annual
Science Talent Search,
sponsored by Westinghouse
and the Science Clubs of
America. Sam received an
honorable mention in the
national finals with his
experiments and thesis on
the effects of an Oxidation

he and Kenny Dougherty made in shop for 1
the Business Department,
During an impressive ceremony
the senior class presented the
juniors with their rings. These
rings, blessed by Father Schneide
stand as a constant reminder of
the rich heritage they signify.
Aquin students, under
the guidance of Rev. Francis
0'Hara, were privileged to
have a two-day retreat, on
November 17-18. Father's
unique ability to use 'pop'
song lyrics and punch a
point across in 'jive'
really gave us our do's
and don't's in our native
tongue.
Through this tech-
nique he coupled our Faith
with every day living in a
way we could thoroughly
understand.
Our undying thanks
to this servant of God
who brought us so much
closer to his Master.
U..,besides, this man
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet tongued.H
Aquin became a member of the Angelic
Warfare Confraternity on March 4, when
Father E.C.Baumhoffer, a member of the
Diocesan Education Board, explained the
purpose and organization of the confra-
ternity to the students in an assembly.
He and Monsignor C.F. Conley KDirectorJ
invested each student with the St. Thomas
cord and medal of the Confraternity.
The name, Angelic Warfare, is de-
rived from the title given to St. Thomas
Aquinas, Angelic Doctor. Many popes,
particularly Popes Leo X111 and Pius X1
recommended the Angelic Warfare Kits
prayers and indulgencesl as a safeguard
for the preservation of holy purity.
Because Thomas Aquinas is the patron
of their school, this enrollment held a
special significance for the students of
Aquin.
IN THE GREAT HAND OF GOD I STAND..U
Last year, 1954, was a very special year
because it was a Marian Year, that is, a year
dedicated particularly to the patronage of our
Blessed Mother.
Mary must have blessed her children at
Aquin on the night of December 1 because of the
honor given to her in the Marian Year Celebra-
tion. The program was a living Rosary. The
prayers of the Rosary were said in the darkened
gym, lit solely by candles carried by the
members of the glee club. Choral readings
accompanied the tableaux which realistically
represented the Joyful mysteries of the
Rosary
This celebration was a fitting sequel to
the Perpetual Rosary Crecitation of the
Rosary in the Chapel every day of the school
year during each period of the class day by
two studentsl which has prevailed at Aquiu for
the past five years.

Team spirit, sportsmanship, and in
dividual performance, the heart of any
game, are never tallied. As a result,
the scoreboard often leaves much to be
desired. But with leaders such as Foot
ball Captain, Art Krieger, and most val
uable gridder, John Lampe, and Bob Ban-
gasser, basketball captain and most val
uable player, together with this tradi-
tional high spirit, the Bulldogs will
llways be able to walk proudly with the
champs.

All this went to make
a magic night which
turned a dream into

lingering, indelible

HThis is the sergeant
Who like a good and hardy soldier fought
In August, 1953, Coach Dawson
took up his duties as varsity coach,
physical education director, and
driver's training instructor at
Aquin. Since that time, Mr. Dawson's
gridders have racked up a l for 16
record, while the basketball squad
set up an impressive record of 20
for h3.
A brief glimpse into the life
of our Coach, Mr. Dawson, is a diffi-
cult task because of his many sporting
activities. Coach Dawson attended
Defiance college, Defiance, Ohio,
graduating with a Bachelor of science
Degree in Education. During these
years he participated in all inter-
collegiate sports receiving varsity
letters four years in basketball and
in football.
Until the fall of 1953 he acted as physical education instruc-
tor and football coach at the Illinois State Training School for Boys
at St. Charles.
we are losing Mr. Dawson this year, and we owe him a tribute for
the splendid job he's done in handling the boys, both in sports and
on the school premises.
comenting on his two years at Aquin, Mr. Dawson stated, "I have
enjoyed working with the students here and hope that the boys at the
next school are of as high calibre as the boys at Aquin.W
our hats off to Coach DBWBORI
