For five years the
Right Reverend Monsi-
gnor George A. Hommes
served thee students of
Aquinas as counselor and
instructor.
Although his duties as
Chancellor of the Diocese
of La Crosse no longer
permit him to serve us
in those capacities, they
do enable him to further
the spiritual and material
interests, not only of
Aquinas, but also of the
other schools of the dio-
cese. For this reason we
deem it a privilege to ded-
icate the '50 TRUMPET
to the Right Reverend
Msgr. George A. Hammes.
HIS EXCELLENCY, THE MOST REVEREND JOHN P. TREACY, S.T.D.
Bishop of La Crosse
The Most Reverend John Patrick Treacy, S.T.D.,
SON Of John Und Anne MUFQOFEY TVGGCY, WGS lD0I'f1 Akron, Ohio, and St. Luke's, Cleveland, Ohio, Bishop
Uuly 23, 1891, in Marlboro, Massachusetts.
His Excellency attended the preparatory school
of Holy Cross College, Worcester, Massachusetts,
and was graduated from the Catholic University,
1912. After completing his seminary course at St. '
John's, Boston, he was ordained to the priesthood
After serving as assistant pastor in St, Mory's,
Treacy was named Diocesan Director ot the Propa-
gation of the Faith and Assistant Chancellor of the
Diogtase of Cleveland, a position he held for fourteen
ars.
He was consecrated Coodjutor Bishop of La Crosse,
by the Most Reverend John Patrl' arrelly, Cl Ocwbef 2, 1945, and appointed Ordinary of the
land, Ohio, December , 1918. f., l?lh uly 23, 1946.

Q1
The tremendous chal-
lenge of our times
demands more than an
external performance 'of
duty, it demands o per-
sonal excellence which
carries with it al, deep
sense of one's 'responsi-
bilityt for bringing into
the mainstream-of life
they major truths which
alone .can 'guarantee
peace for theehindividual
and forwall men. This
personal excellence -
spiritual, intellectual, so-
cial, and physical--is
thehobjective of Catholic
education.
ln the attainment of
this objective, Mary
stands as your perfect
model and ideal. Whether
you engage in business,
social, religious, or do-
mestic life, if you "go
her way," your living will
approach that excellence
which your Catholic edu-
cation aimed to achieve.
In this way you may hope
to meet the challenge the
world presents and ac-
complish your part in the
betterment of all man-
kind.

THE COUNCIL OF ADMINISTRATION of
Aquinas is a committee of pastors and parish
lay representatives appointed by His Excellency
to manage certain temporalities of the school
and to work out a financial plan tor the
support ot the school.
THE AQUINAS GUILD is the oldest auxiliary
ot Aquinas. lt is the Parent-Teacher organiza-
tion with all the objectives and goals which
such an organization implies.
PARISH REPRESENTATIVES constitute the
executive committee of the Guild. To achieve
the purposes of the Guild more adequately,
each parish sending a large number of students
to Aquinas is represented by two lay persons.
THE AQUINAS BOOSTER CLUB has as its
major project the support of athletics in the
school. lts loyalty and spirit has been a great
help in many other school movements.

AQUINAS HIGH SCHOOL
Almost twenty years ago l57 young La Crosse Catholics stepped hope-
fully to the doors of the newly-established Aquinas High School and began
their education according to the principles laid down by fundamental need
and Christianity. Four years later that beginning group emerged from the
school as graduates. It was the dawn of a new day.
To the late Most Reverend Alexander James MCC-avick it was a dream
come true. He had conceived the early hope that La Crosse area Catholics
might reasonably have, and support a school founded on their faith. His
hope of an educational institution for young Catholics had materialized as
Aquinas High School.
Today ninety per cent of all La Crosse area Catholic pupils of high school
age attend Aquinas-strong testimonial of the dream come true. The
student body now numbers 912, and Aquinas has grown to become the
fourth largest Catholic high school in Wisconsin.

Qt:
At Aquinas we have endeavored to
master the most important lesson of
life-like Mary, to follow the light
of truth that never sets. We have
learned her confidence from daily
Mass and Holy Communion, the rosary
before her image at noon, the hurriedly
whispered prayer before semester
examinations.
Mary, teach us to GO YOUR WAY
. A . to live the truths taught us
at Aquinas . . . to center our lives
in your Son . . . to be strong
influences in society . . . to become
the "salt of the earth."

The quorum of senior Latin students, attired
in tunics and togas, express their thumbs-down
veto of Catiline in favor of Cicero. The down-
cast Catiline, portrayed by Thomas Ritter, has
lost favor with the scribe, Donald Gallagher.

Amid decorations harmonizing with the theme, "Moon-
light and Roses," the '49 Junior Prom was ruled by King
James Jirsa and his chosen queen, Jean Zirbes. The largest
court in the history of social events at Aquinas consisted of
Thomas Sinninger and Annette Kelly, Charles Skemp and
Monna Pederson, William Servais and Barbara Bracken, John
Alexander and Rita Eeg, Thomas Murphy and Maureen Goggin,
Myron Peterson and Mary Ziegelmaier, Theodore Lapitz and
Mary Lou Schaper, Gregory Ziegelmaier and Loretta Flanagan,
James Zanter and Jean Horschak, James Rudolph and Marian
Cermak, Gilbert Haberman and Constance Sikorski.
Joseph Bakalars and Rita Knothe, left, and Barbara
Bracken and William Servais, center, were taken unaware
by the photographer. The charming portrait of royalty against
a background of roses is King James and Queen Jean.

Everything from Shakespeare to juggling, concert
pianists to rope tricks, and a husband and wife singing
team to an RCA Victor artist was featured on the Aquinas
stage this year in a series of cultural and entertaining
assemblies.
The first of the professional programs was a piano
concert of classical music given by Mrs. Ann Abeln of
Chicago in October. The same month was rounded out
with the appearance of Miss Marie Houston, inter-
nationally known soprano, radio, and RCA Victor artist
who brought with her colorful costumes of Mexico and
South America. Pictured with her at the bottom right
are seniors Rosemary Gilles, Rita Knapmiller, and Delores
Gerke who served as models.
ln the next few months Colonel Larson of La Crosse
featured his rope tricks and amateur photography. Carl
Olson provided a sparkling assembly with his quick iug-
gling and quicker wit. The Catholic University Players
version of "Much Ado About Nothing" gave most Aquinas
students their first taste of professional Shakespeare.
The "Singing Kappels," husband and wife operatic
singing duo, and their accompanist, Miss Virginia Fons,
lower left, and Miss Mary Barry, marimba specialist, not
pictured, completed this year's assemblies.

Our spiritual activities at Aquinas
have shown us the way to follow Mary
long after our school days are ended.
We have found a way of absolute
security illuminated by her who is
called the Morning Star. Mary has
shown us a way of life that is filled
with happiness and peaceg a way of
hope that will lead to the open portals
of an eternal dawn.

GOLDEN MASS
The Mass of Ember Wednesday in
Advent is traditionally known as the
Golden Mass. lt has become the schooI's
real Christmas Program. At the Offertory
of this Mass, the entire student body in
procession brings its offerings of canned
foods, clothing, and personal gifts to God's
altar. No one knows how the term "Golden
Mass" originated, but everyone agrees that
the term which reminds us of something
valuable and beautiful is appropriate.
It was the custom in the earlier days
for the Christians to bring gifts for this
Mass and offer them personally to God at
the Offertory. Jerome Sweeney, senior class
president, and Charles Skemp, president of
the Aquinas Council of Student Affairs,
led the solemn procession to the altar steps
bearing the wine.
The Reverend Stephen Anderl, former
faculty member introduced the custom at
Aquinas and was celebrant of the Solemn
High Mass this year. The gifts of the
912 participating students were packed and
sent to the poor at home and in various
mission fields in this country.
Above is a shot of the Junior Benevolent
Society members who were in charge of
classifying and distributing the presents.
Rosemary Fransen and Loretta Coughlin
are separating while Mary Kay Money and
Therese Shedesky arrange the gifts in
boxes.
Below is a picture of the student body
as it participated in the Golden Mass
ceremony. The intent attitude of the
students would give even a stranger an
idea of the solemnity of the occasion.

On May 7, 1949, over 900 students of Aqui-
nas High School crowded St. Joseph's Cathedral
to pay homage to their Mother and Queen, the
Blessed Virgin Mary. The occasion for this large
gathering was the annual May crowning ceremony
at which time the '49 May Queen, Joan Karew,
placed the wreath of flowers upon the statue of
Our Blessed Mother and acclaimed her "Mary,
Queen of May."
At the left is the picture of the newly crowned
Virgin and beneath is the picture of His Excel-
lency, the Most Reverend John P. Treacy, who
presided at the traditional religious event and
delivered an address to the students and faculty.
The entire ceremony consisted of the crowning
of the Virgin, an address by the guest speaker,
and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Each year the senior students select a queen and court to reign over the ceremonies.
Court members are Kathleen Heath, Rita Jeanne Anthony, Patricia Ryan, Jeanne Hackner,
Delores Smikla, Jeanine Gschwind, Maxine Heintz, and Catherine Munster. Front row: Delores
Bakalars, Betty McLain, Maureeen Hutson, Queen Joan Karew, Mary Craig, Marie Delagrave,

BE E OLE T SOCIETY
Eleven years ago a small group of Aquinas girls, inspired
by Dorothy Day, organized a society which has as its objec-
tive, the giving of aid to underprivileged families. As a
result, the Junior Benevolent Society has become one of the
outstanding organizations at Aquinas. Its members strive to
promote the spiritual and material welfare of the individual
families assigned to them. Annual Halloween and Christmas
parties, monthly visits to the families, the direction of the
Golden Mass, and a tea at St. Joseph Home of the Aged are
some of the activities.
Pictured at the St. Joseph Home are Joan Grams and
Colette Ritter lstandingi serving their guests. Father Bofen-
kornp and Father Blecha are entertaining. At the upper right
Therese Shedesky and Mary Kay Maney play hostesses for
their young charges at the Christmas party.
At lower left, secretary Loretta Flanagan and president
Mary Jean Murphy confer with society sponsor, Mrs. Ambrose
Murphy. Owing to the efforts of the Junior Benevolent Society,
many homes had a happy Thanksgiving as evidenced by the
lower left picture. Marilyn Garrity, Rita Knopmiller, Mary
Urban, Barbara Desmond, and Mary Larkin prepare the baskets
of food collected in the homeraoms for distribution.

HRISTMAS . ..
Every year at Christmas time the traditional star sheds its rays over the
Christmas crib and brightens the corner of Cameron and West Avenue
Streets. The rays reach farther than the confines of the manger and
adorers. They touch the soul of every passerby, whether he be an Aquinite,
a workingman, or a child. And they carry with them a message-the
message of Christ's birth, of man's rebirth, and of the reawakening of joy
and hope in the world.
And, celebrating this anniversary with the rest of the world, Aquinas
duplicates the original scene, complete with Virgin, Child, and shepherds.

...l949
The annual Winter Concert,
dedicated this year to the Pil-
grim Virgin, was among one of
the best offered by Aquinas, in
a long line of outstanding mu-
sical programs. The concert
featured the ll5-voice choir,
the junior choir, the freshmen
and sophomore girls' and boys'
glee clubs, and the smaller
groups, the Triple Trio and the
Discords. The picture at the
'right portrays Susan Opitz as
the Virgin Mother who inspired
the overall theme of the con-
cert. From the Aquinas stage
she reigned over the candle-
light procession of choristers.
This pose is from the student
Christmas program which con-
sisted ot a series ot tableaux
set to music. The story of
Christ's birth was enacted by
Janice Mader as Mary, Alice
Engelhard as the angel, and
William Servais as St. Joseph.
The Christmas program of '49
was one of the most spiritually
refreshing presented on the
Aquinas stage and was excel-
lently received by the student
body.

CATHOLICITY IN ACTIO
The expert quality of sophomore Thomas Smith's or-
gan music made an impression on the minds of Aquinites
that remained long after they had left the auditorium.
ln the top left picture Thomas is shown demonstrating
his skill. The Reverend Stephen Anderl, Golden Mass
celebrant, distributes Holy Communion to Colette Ritter
and Nola Noel, while Shirley Mashak waits her turn.
Senior Joan Allen pauses for a moment before one of the
Lady of Fatima statues which were installed in every
homeroom this year.
The Right Reverend Monsignor George A. Hammes
opened the I949 September term of school with the of-
fering of High Mass. This pose of seniors on adoration
day was caught shortly after school opened. Students
are Richard Yost, Robert Grabinski, Charles Skemp, Don-
ald Galiagher, Bette Lewinski, Lorraine Kavanaugh, Janet
Fiebig, and Jean Horschak, Retreat masters, the Rever-
end Albert Roemer, the Reverend Alfred Hebert, the
Reverend Joseph Bach pose with His Excellency, the Most
Reverend John P. Treacy, and the Reverend James Fin-
ucan, secretary to His Excellency, after the Solemn High
Mass which terminated the retreat.

We have learned at Aquinas to
seek Mary as a model. We were
inspired to imitate Mary, the Mystical
Rose . . . Mary, the Lily ofWl'1iteness
. . . Mary, the singing lyre whose
Rosary and Magnificat will ever lift
our souls heavenward, inspiring us to
sanctify each activity of life.

A major responsibility of any dramatic
production rests on the stage crew, the de-

workers. Pictured, building the stairway for

CURTAIN TIME
In observance of Armistice Day, the
Drama Department presented "They Also
Serve," a choric dramatization in which
forty voices were blended. Portraying the
musty historians were Ronald Abicht and
James Temp.
The next production of the year was
"The Romancers," a satire on romantic
notions, particularly on the Romeo and
Juliet angle. The comedy was prepared for
the district and state one-act play contest.
Pictured in a scene from this play are
Betty Lewinski and Charles Skemp, the
young lovers who are separated by a garden
wall. Also from the cast are Jack Cagney
and Gregory Ziegelmaier, the grim fathers,
and Frederick Simones, the dramatic fenc-
ing master.
"The Romancers" was also entered in
the Second Annual One-Act Play Festival
held at Aquinas on February l8. The festi-
val, associated with the Catholic Theater
Conference, was under the direction of
Sister Marie Leon. Bette Lewinski of
Sixty
Aquinas, Bruce Cody of Campion Academy,
and Shirley Meleski of St. Joseph Academy,
Stevens Point, pose with their trophies
awarded for the best acting of the day.

"Lute Song," the colorful and realistic
ancient Chinese morality play, was the major
production of the Drama Department this year.
The classic, which was presented February ll
and I2 at the Vocational auditorium, centers
around a Chinese youth who entrusts his wife
to the keeping of his revered parents while
he goes to the capital to seek his fortune.
A cast of 65 found the presentation of
this Chinese play a genuine challenge. Adapted
for acting in l404, it has since enjoyed con-
tinuous favor in the Chinese theater, with
a stature equal to that accorded "Hamlet" on
the Western stage.
Personal creative talent of the stage crew,
elaborate settings, authentic costumes, and a
fitting musical background combined with the
superior efforts of Sister Marie Leon, director,
made "Lute Song" one of the most significant
productions at Aquinas.
Upper photo was taken at the Imperial
wedding, complete with lanterns and dancers.
The second picture shows Tsai-Yong portrayed
by Richard Yost, who is being taken by force
to the Emperar's palace. The noble princess,
Nancy Doyle, is pictured at the lower right
with her maids in waiting, Janice Mader and
Bette Lewinski, while egotistical Prince Neow,
Robert Gilbert, bargains with the marriage
broker in the person of Dolores Gerke.
LUTE SO
At the lower left the picture taken two
weeks before the production, shows Marian
Cermak, Francis Furlano, Frederick Simones,
Barbara Bracken, Patrick Murphy, Nancy Doyle,
and Dolores Gerke putting the finishing touches
on the genie.
"Lute Song" finds its greatness in the pro-
found lesson it has brought home to countless
audiences. The fidelity of a husband and
wife and a daughter's filial piety towards her
parents furnish the theme of the drama.

TUNING UP
Students of all music groups of Aqui-
nas High School, but especially orchestra
members, spent long hours of preparation
for the highlight of the first semester's
musical performance, the Winter Con-
cert. The orchestra, at the peak of its
ability, presented to music lovers in the
La Crosse area a program rich in various
modern and classical selections.
Tuning up before curtain time is the
string quartet composed of Alice Engel-
hard, Shirlee Knutson, Barbara Desmond,
and Lois Houlihan. Another quartet,
famous in its own right is the clarinet
quartet. Members are Anthony Solberg,
Robert Virnig, Barbara Bennett, and
James Havlicek. The lower pictures are
cross sections of the orchestra snapped
during the performance.
The Winter Concert has two main pur-
poses: to give the music groups an oppor-
tunity to show their ability, and to give
La Crosse music lovers an enjoyable
evening.

Climaxing the year's choral work, the senior choir
presented the comic opera, "Naughty Marietta," by
Victor Herbert. "Naughty Marietta," an opera set
in romantic New Orleans, is a gay-spirited romance,
complete with pirates, the inevitable triangle, laughter,
and gaiety. Below, upper left photo, is Bette Lewinski
as Marietta, in one of her naughty moments, using
her charms on unresponsive Captain Richard Warrington,
Herbert Virnig.
ln the opposite picture are shown flower girl,
Suzanne Opitz, and French maid, Mary Kay Maney,
trying to attract a local gentleman, Kenneth Riepel,
at the flower stand. ln the center photo, beautiful
Adah, Barbara Bracken, attempts to win and hold the
affections of her master Etienne, Charles Skemp.
Raymond Gantenbein, David Brieske, and John
Bedessem give their attention to demanding Lizette,
Noel VanBrunt, in the lower left picture.
Marietta, Bette Lewinski, lower right, dressed in
her wedding dress, listens to Captain Dick sing, "Ah!
Sweet Mystery of Life," and realizes that he loves her.
Marietta, who is ever haunted by an unfinished dream
melody, has been told that only he shall claim her
heart who will have the power to sing the answer to
her song. She has repeatedly asked Captain Dick at
least to try, but he is consistently indifferent. Finally,
he finishes her melody, whereupon she returns his love
and all ends happily.

Boom, Ayel' - - - Naughty Marietta
Dancers, flower girls, and casquette girls sit around
the fountain in the garden making plans for the ball.
As they happily discuss the gala affair, they do not
anticipate the coming events of an auction, a capture,
and a wedding. Pictured there are Therese Potaracke,
French dancer, Rita Knothe, Spanish dancer, Rita Knap-
miller, casquette girl, and Nancy Larson, flower girl.
Opposite them, Sir Harry Blake, Richard Yost,
Annette, Marilyn Garrity, Felice, Ruth Lund, and Fan-
chon, Mary Volz, watch closely as Rudolpho, Gregory
Ziegelmaier, "pulla de marionettaf' However, in his
profession, Rudolpho finds that his troubles have begun
when he innocently consented to accept Marietta,
disguised as his missing son.
Comedian Silas, Theodore Lapitz, disguises himself
as a pirate to frighten all the pretty girls. ln the
center picture he threatens Lizette, Dolores Gerke,
and steals the gold from her casquette. Abounding
comedy is furnished by Silas, one of Captain Dick's
misfit trappers and his co-partner, Lizette.
At the lower right, Captain Dick escorts lovely
Marietta, Janice Mader, into the ballroom. Marietta
is a fiery little ltalian, disguised as a casquette girl
who ran away from home to join the girls of marriage-
able age who were sent by the King of France to the
French settlement in New Orleans. Here Marietta
meets Captain Richard Warrington, Herbert Virnig,
who befriends her. After meeting with many rebuffs
and disappointments, she finally falls in love with him.

MUSIC THE IR
From the Aquinas Music Department this year emerged three notable groups, each not
which had something a little different from the other, and each of which was excellent in its
field. Pictured at the top are the tamed Discords, a quartet with music sung in barbershop
style. Catching a sweet note are Theodore Lopitz, Herbert Virnig, Raymond Gantenbein, and
David Brieske.
SBVEHTY-One
The second group
is the Boys' Double
Quartet, which is
composed of the
Discords and four
additional voices.
This group made its
debut at the Win-
ter Concert. Left

dore Lopitz, Greg-
ory Ziegelmaier,
Herbert Vi r n i g,
Raymond Ganten-
bein, Richard Yost,
Charles S k e m p,

Jack Kelly. Direct-
ed by Sister Vivian,
this group practices
during homeroom
period.
The third group,
the feminine coun-
terpart of the Dis-
cords, is known as
the Triple Trio.
T h i s homeroom
practicing group
which made its de-
but in the Winter
Concert, is com-

HOMECCMI
FE TIVITIE
Amid crowds of cheering spectators, Aquinas celebra-
ted its fourth annual Homecoming on September 30, cli-
maxing the game with a supper and a dance. Queen of
this year's festivities was Monna Pederson, choice of the
student body, who in turn chose Charles Skemp as her
King. Miss Kathleen Nekola, '48 Queen, crowned
Monna at the halftime ceremonies at Memorial Field.
The beautiful ceremony was highlighted by the arch,
formed of court members, singing "Queen of the Rosary"
to the music of the Aquinas Band.
Pictured in the autumn setting are the Queen, court
members, and their escorts.
The annual "Queen's Supper" followed the game.
The queen and her attendants, their parents, escorts,
and the Aquinas and Edgewood football teams were
guests. At the left, King Charles serves the Queen, and
court members Phyllis Hallo and Charles Udulutch await
their turn. At the lower right, Mike Skemp grins as he
passes the photographer. Following him are Coach and
Mrs. Michuta, while hostesses look on.
Aquinas alumni and students continued the celebra-
tion with a dance in the gymnasium which was gaily
decorated in an autumn scheme. Baskets of leaves and
autumn flowers highlighted the decoration of the gym.

DEB TE H RESOLVED . ..
I
THAT THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES SHOULD BE
ELECTED BY THE DIRECT VOTE OF THE PEOPLE
This year's debate squads, both junior and senior
divisions, literally brought home the laurels. The
most notable event of this season for the juniors
was the Catholic State tournament held at Marquette
University High School. The Aquinas freshmen
team composed of David Murphy, William McKillip,
Roy Pearse, and Howard Erickson brought home the
trophy, not only for the most wins, but also for
the best freshman team entered in the meet.
The record of the senior division debaters is also
something to emulate. Their scoring for the season
was twenty wins to fourteen losses, a creditable
showing.
ln the upper left picture Alice Engelhard upholds
her side of the question while William Skemp, Anne
Kehoe, Richard Collins, and Audrey Hardiman listen
attentively and take notes. At the upper right are
pictured Sister Theodata's freshman debaters, Barbara
Forschler, Steven Maxwell, Rudolph Lusk, Eugene
Bakalars, and Roy Pearse. Seated: David Murphy,
Patricia Riley, Carol Theisen, William McKillip, and
Howard Erickson.
Senior debater James Kelly tries to convince Janice
Mader, Gerald Downey, John Bedessem, John Lyons,
and Jerome Sweeney of the practicality of his argu-
ment. The occasion for the picture at the lower
right was the visit of Dr. Hugo Hellman, Ph.D.,
Head of the Speech Department at Marquette Uni-
versity. The debate specialist discussed this year's
question with Richard Collins, William Skemp, Janice
Mader, and Gerald Downey. Looking on are James
Kelly, John Lyons, Jerome Sweeney, and John

to meet deadlines staring them in the face. The seniors wearied by perpetual
pencil pushing, received a respite about mid-term when the juniors assumed
the responsibility with Charles Buelow and Gerald Downey as Co-editors.
The policy of THE AQUINAS NEWS is twofold: To inform the students
of school activities and to inculcate Catholic living in the members of the
student body.
Honor came to the publications department when an announcement
was made by Dean J. L. O'Sullivan of the College of Journalism, Marquette
University, that THE AQUINAS NEWS was rated as one of the ten leading
Catholic high school newspapers in the country for '49-'5O.

As every spoke in a wheel gives it added
stability, so every member of the staff has given
his support in the production of the book.
Although challenged with many difficulties, edi-

Actual work on THE TRUMPET commenced
in October and continued until May l. Long
hours of labor went into producing this log of

lt is the sincere wish of the staff that in future

Our Lady's knights met with stiff
competition, but they learned to accept
both gains and losses in her spirit,
Just as they did in the short prayer
said before the big games and during
the half-times, they will continue to
turn to her always. They will GO HER
WAY of life on the spiritual path of
victory even though there are hurdles
to cross in the game of life. Only
through Mary can we overcome the

Dear John:
I should like to express my most sincere congratulations to you
and to the members of your fine team for the marvelous record
you have attained during the past season. Knowing fully the ne-
cessity of having men of high calibre to bring any team the city
championship I have the utmost admiration for the members of this
year's Aquinas team. All of the players have a great deal to be
proud of, as the success achieved by them is a direct reflection
on their willingness to make sacrifices and pay the price of vic-
tory.

A keyed-up Campion Academy eleven were
ready for the invading Blugolds and held them
to a 6-6 halt-time count. In the second half
the Blugolds pushed over two touchdowns to
win 18-6.
The next opposition for the winning team
was an undefeated squad from Loras Acad-
emy, Dubuque, Iowa. This was to be the game
ot the year for both schools, as each wanted
that much desired perfect season.
Loras displayed an outstanding running at-
tack and moved to a 19-6 edge in the closing
moments ot the contest. But Aquinas urged
by an unseen spark scored two touchdowns in
the last two minutes to squeeze out that one
final contest, giving Aquinas Blugolds an un-

1. Jim Kelly-5'9", 165 lbs., quarterback.
As an alert signal caller and sharp ball handler,
.lim displayed beautiful deception off the "T"
formation.
2. Jim Rudolph--5' 9", 152 lbs., center.
This boy filled the holes in the line, playing
his best ball when the chips were down.
3. Jim Temp-6' 3", 200 lbs., end.
"Dumbo," as his size implies, 'was the biggest
boy in the line-up. The opponents found him
rugged and ready whenever they swept his end.
4. Chuck Skemp--5' 8", 155 lbs., right halfback.
Chuck, although the smallest backfield man,
displayed brilliance in the running department,
eating up yardage on every try.
5 Tom.Sinninger-5' 8", 170 lbs., guard.
This rugged guard displayed unusual ability
at throwing the opposition for huge losses.

Many times the opposition was stopped cold by
this rugged tackle, who would not stay down.
9 Tom Bruha-5' 9", 150 lbs., halfback.
This speedy back used deception in picking
his way through the line. Once in the open,
he was a hard man to stop.
10. Joe Bakalars-5'10", 175 lbs., tackle.
Fast and tough, Joe liked contact work. He was
a demon on defense and a crack downfield
blocker.
11. Al Freybier-5'9", 170 lbs., tackle.
He was one of the most alert defensive linemen
on the team, stopping deception plays with
unusual ability.
12. Jim Skaff-5'9", 170 lbs., halfback.
Whitey not only kicked the crucial extra points
for Aquinas, but also was a main cog on both
defense and offense.
13. James Kelly-5'9", 165 lbs., quarterback.
Jim may have passed like a quarterback, but
to see him run one would think he were a
halfback.
14. Bill Shuda-5'10", 180 lbs., fullback.
Bill charged the line with vicious thrusts, burst-
ing through for long gains.
15. Mike Skemp-5'10", 175 lbs., fullback.
He was a hard runner, possessing both drive
and speed. This rugged fullback had uncanny
accuracy in his passing.
16. Bob Gilbert--6', 170 lbs., end.
No doubt Bob was the most capable pass re-
ceiver on the team. He played brilliant offense
and defense.
17. Duke Coughlin -- 5' 9", 145 lbs., guard. '
"Dynamite Duke," "small but mighty," describes
this powerful guard, who played exceptional ball

filled in brilliantly at the for-
ward post whenever needed.
Mike Skemp, 5' ll", guard, a
classy performer at all times,
headed the team's scoring
power.
Bob Gilbert, 6', center, added
considerable scoring punch to
the reserves.
Myron Peterson, 6' 2", forward,
supplied the height necessary
under the buckets to control
the boards.
Doug Oldenburg, 5' ll", for-
ward, proved his worth as a
varsity reserve many times dur-
ing the campaign.

I TRA-CITY CHAMPS
Defeating their local opponents by large
margins, the Aquinas Blugolds have again cap-
tured the intra-city crown. The Michutamen
started the ball rolling by trouncing Logan, 65-4l.
Next, they romped over Central, 52-3l. Then
the Aquinas cage quintet wrapped up the title
with consecutive wins over Logan and Central
with the scores of 59-40 and 53-38, respectively.
The photos below show flurries of action
duringrthese intra-city games. Upper left shows
Bill Skemp shooting a long one-handed push shot,
while Jim Temp and Bob Gilbert wait for the
rebound. Upper right, and lower right, show
action with Central. A mad scramble for the
loose ball is depicted in the upper photo, while
the lower shows Jim Temp waiting for the ball
after a bucket.
The lower left photo is a picture of the State-
Catholic champions, pictured after an assembly
given in their honor. The master of ceremonies
was Stan Torgerson, WLCX radio announcer, who
gave a play-by-play description of the tourna-
ment to local followers unable to attend the
tournament.

ln the finals of the tournament Aquinas
met Marquette High School of Milwaukee.
The Junior Hilltoppers were also a well-
balanced team, possessing a great deal of
height.
The Marquette High School team opened
the point-making in the final game, estab-
lishing an early lead. The Blugolds struck
back, gaining the lead midway in the initial
stanza, never to lose it again. The Michuta-
men led 39-24 at the half, and were never
in danger in the second half, sweepingon
to victory by a 61-47 score.
Following the final game, the Blugolds
received the beautiful Bishop Rhode Memo-
rial Trophy. Three members of the first
team, Mike Skemp, Tom Bruha, and Jim
Temp, were awarded berths on the All-
State team. The Blue and Gold were given
additional honors by the spokesman of the
group selecting the all-state team who sug-
gested that each and every member of the
team deserved a position on the team.
DePere tournament spectators left the
gym with the conviction that they had seen
one of the greatest high school teams ever
assembled on the hardwoods. The Blugolds,
under the leadership of Coach John
Michuta, had established the amazing
record of 21 wins along with one defeat.
This team provided the best scoring record
in the history of Aquinas, owing to good
sportsmanship and a spirit of cooperation.
The Blugolds began their season in the
Minneapolis arena, meeting a St. Cloud
Cathedral team, defeating them, 37-33.
Returning home, the Blue and Gold upset
Immaculate Conception, Cedar Rapids,
54-38. St. Patrick's of Eau Claire was the
third consecutive victim of the Blugolds,
losing 58-43. Lourdes of Rochester then
defeated the Aquinites, 58-57, for the only
loss suffered by the Blugolds. This game
was a thriller from beginning to end, with
the Lourdes quintet dropping 'in the winning
bucket at the final second of the game.
Eighty-seven
Recovering from their lone defeat, the
Blue and Gold rolled over Logan, Cotter,
McDonell, Central, and St. Patrick's by
large margins. Victories 8, 9, and I0 came
to the 'Golds as they routed Cotter, Viroqua,
and Campion.
Aquinas continued its winning ways by
trouncing Loras, Logan, Central, McDonell,
and Campion, bringing the victory streak
to l7 games. The Blugolds gained a re-
venge victory over Lourdes at Rochester,
and then finished the season, defeating
Loras, 56-53. A final record of I8 wins
and one defeat was merited by the team.
Having completed the regular season,
the Michutamen went to DePere for the
All-State Catholic Tournament, returning
with the title. Thus ends the greatest
season in Aquinas basketball history for
a team that will be long remembered for
its stunning play and impressive record.

Like the varsity, the "B" squad completed a successful '49-'50 season
with a record of nine victories and four losses. The Staszakmen gave a
lively example of basketball before each game, preparing the way for
the varsity, and displaying a great deal of power and ability in winning
double victories over Lourdes and Temp's Tavern. The team split games
with Logan, Central, and St. Pat's. This squad also triumphed over Vi roqua
in its only encounter with the team.

The Aquinas Blugold nine had one of their
most successful seasons during the '48-'49
year, winning seven and losing three games.
The diamondmen started the season on the
wrong foot, dropping the opener to Logan, 4-2.
They roared right back, trouncing Campion,
4-2, but lost a decision to Cotter, 5-4, in o
hard fought battle. Aquinas then met Logan
in a return battle, blanking them 4-O. Trav-
eling to Lourdes, the Staszakmen split a
double-header, winning the first game, 5-O,
and dropping the second, 2-l. Once warmed
up, the Blugold nine knocked off their last
four opponents by a convincing margin. Cam-
pion went down to defeat before the Blugold
tide, 3-2, Central dropped two games, 4-l,
and 9-7. Aquinas took revenge on the Cotter
Ramblers handing them a 6-3 defeat.
Blugolds captured the intra-city title by de-
feating Central twice and splitting with Logan.
The diamondmen possessed plenty of slugging
power and were backed by the superb pitching
of Rendler and Schiffer.

"Let's give a 'yea blue' - - 'yea gold'I" The foot-
ball season of '49 not only saw the greatest football
team in the history ot the school, but backing them, an
outstanding cheerleading troop. Led by Captain Jack
Cagney, the cheerleaders instilled a spirit of loyalty into
the crowds which played a large part in keeping an un-
blemished record. Though dominated by seniors, the
squad represents every class, Clockwise, they are Philip

HERE' THE RACQUET
A veteran Blugold tennis team led by Dick McLoone and Dan Spika
came out of the '49 season with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses. This
well-balanced team had little trouble defeating Viroqua and Logan twice.
Central, the defending City-Champions, took two hard fought matches
from the Blugolds by identical scores of 4-3. In both matches the outcome
was in doubt until the final game was played.
Tom Larkin battled through the season winning all his single matches.
Bob Bruchman lost only one single match.

in ng of golf clubs in Q quinas
gym is the first sign that spring is just
around the corner. As in past years many
hopeful golfers spent hours preparing
themselves in this manner. When the snow
finally melted and it was possible to prac-
tice on the greens and fairways of the
golf course, the '49 Aquinas golf team was
ready to launch on its most successful
season in the history of the school.
For the first time, the '49 golf team de-
feated their city rivals to become undis-
puted city champions. The team consisting
of Ken Kubiak, Bill Kratt, Jerome Sweeney,
Jim Kelly, Phil Hutson, and Tony Hoch
was coached by John Michuta.
Their opening match with Lourdes, Roch-
ester, Minn., and the return match with
the same team were their only defeats of
the season. On the other hand, they held
double wins over Central and Logan of
La Crosse, and Campion of Prairie du Chien,
Wis. The '49 Aquinas golfers enjoyed a
wonderful season and had a great team.

The freshmen boys conduct their
gym classes quite differently from
other gym groups. The boys, directed
by Ray Staszak, are self-governing
and self-disciplined.
The top picture shows James Fred-
ericks, Lauren Klos, Robert Saphner,
James Frantz, and Mark Hamilton
helping their friends do individual
pull-ups.
Pictured in the center is a new
sport--the caterpillar race in which
the boys slide along the floor using
only their feet. The legs of the first
caterpillar belong to Clinton Abnet,
Richard Walsh, Donald Witt, Michael
Ziegelmaier, James Dunn, and Robert
Dwyer. Members of the competing
caterpillar are Bernard Wakeen, Mic-
hael Kevin, Kenneth Hansen, Eugene
Bakalars, Richard Forer, and William
Coughlin.

The sophomore girls' gym classes under the direction of Miss Gwendolyn Hutson
have been learning many different types of dances.
"Swing your partner 'round and 'round, then grand right and left." In the top
left picture we see Patricia Pavek, JoAnne Merfeld, Janice Ferguson, Darlene Kessler,
Betty Grenisen, and Dolores Yost enjoying a favorite American folk dance, the Square
Dance,
Next to the Square Dancers, the graceful balIerinas- Mary Lou Mosser, Fay
Leinfelder, Sheila Murphy, Beverly Kerrigan, and Janet Reinhard- perform what is
known in ballet circles as "position five."
The names do not suggest the nationality, but Delphine Soukup, Ann Kehoe,
JoAnn Deyo, and Margaret Danielson are doing the Scottish dance, the Highland
Fling.
