S. opened its 1923 foot- ball season. For almost two weeks after the opening of school, the team was without a coach. and uncertainty as to whether there would be a coach prevailed. At last. on Septem- ber l8th. the school hailed with rejoicings and renewed enthusiasm the news that Frank Doriot, an alumnus. and one who has been under the mentorship of K. R. Rockne for four years at Notre Dame. had oiiered his services as coach. XYith discouraging obstacles facing him from all sides the coach started on his up- hill work. The success of the football team. the new school spirit. the new enthusiasm of the alumni for their alma mater. the spirit of clean and manly sportsmanship. and many other good etiects of the season are largely. if not entirely. due to lfrank. our coach. Frank has little to say in the matter-he attributes it all to the boys . After less than two weeks of practice under our coach a team was placed on the gridiron to meet our first opponents.

14 THE aids and appurtenances. as are deemed req- uisite by modern educators for successful teaching. No pains are spared to develop those tal- ents of which a pupil may give evidence. The maintenance of discipline receives particular attention, all scholars arere- quired to observe the regulations of the school. ' These regulations are calculated to ren- der the pupils courteous, honorable and respectful. The chief aim of the discipline in force is to habituate them to manners that will distinguish them as upright and virtuous young men who will reflect credit upon their parents and their school. The pupils have access to Library Hall, which was erected at a cost of about 580,000 by the Very Reverend Joseph Brammer, the present Administrator of the Diocese of Fort VVayne. This imposing edifice contains a large library well stocked with the choicest literature, a reading room, gymnasium, a beautiful chapel for the ex- clusive use of the children, also an exhi- bition and lecture hall with a seating ca- pacity of about one thousand. There are about three hundred and twenty pupils enrolled whose ages range from six to seventeen years.-Quoted from Brothers of Holy Cross C1895b. CEditor's Note :-The book, Brothers of' Holy Cross, was prepared in connection with the celebration of Fort Wayne's Cen- tennial Year in November, 1895. Its his- torical pages are highly illuminated in four colors. It contains photographs of Fa- ther Brammer, the Columbian Literary So- ciety, the Altar Society, the Young Men's Sodality, the Mechanical Drawing Class, the Commercial Class of 1895, and group pictures of all the other classesj A Christmas Thought jesus was born on Christmas day To mend us by his love, So now our duty is to pray To God our Savior above. Jos. PEPE, '25, .ECHO Music Music is a kind of optimistic harmonizer which, the more we listen to, the more it attracts us. It is the 'fsoothing syrupu of our everyday life. It is the one thing which steps in between our mental and physical occupations. Many people will con- sider baseball and such games as the real harmonic , but that is because they have- n't tried music. In school life music is a necessity. Since our last year's seniors have been so suc- cessful several of the classes are endeav- oring to replace them. The attempt has been entirely satisfactory for now we can boast of tivo glee clubs instead of one, the sophomores and the seniors. The former showed their wares at the commencement last year and so have a lead on the seniors. However, that means nothing. Here is where the three P's can become useful. In music, like anything else, practice is probably the most necessary. Sometimes a boy has an idea how music should be sung. Let us take something new, he says. And when he gets up to sing, the idea' is lost through nervousness. fore, fellow members of the glee clubs, let us never forget that when we There- sing' and wish for success and wish to be one of those optimistic harmonizers we must practice, practice, practice. A just a few words about the orchestra. There are certain years when this school is gifted with many musicians. So at such times of plenty the future years are neglected. Now music is an art that is worth more than dollars. Dollars can be earned from music. But letting the pe- cuniary idea drop a knowledge of music has comforted many lonely hours when books were unavailable. So it is hoped the freshman particularly, but of course anyone else, should get an instrument and practice. He'll never be sorry for doing so. For Real Basket Ball, see the Alumnz Game. A

16 THE That game showed up the weaknesses and the inexperience of many of our players. Many left at the end of the game saying that C. C. would not have a team this year to uphold the old standard. If the first game of the season showed up the ignorance of many of the players as to the tactics and knowledge of the game, the last game showed and proved what can be accomplished with ardent and continuous practice and study of the game. The team that represented the school in the last game has been acknowledged by sports writers and followers of the game to be one of the cleanest, fightiest, and brainiest football organizations in high school circles. The followers of our team have watched with price and increasing confidence the continual improvement in the method. styQe anc. spirit of our team, which was disolayec. the field. s Though we must attribute very much of the success to our coach . yet we can- not overlook the members of the team that every time the team walked on made possible the success. The boys dis- played at all times a line spirit of will- ingness to be advised by the coach and put in practice what he taught them. Very few have, if any, missed without a very good excuse the regular practices and lec- tures. Their spirit of co-operation with the coach, and their readiness to yield to the training offered were two of the great factors in the success of the season. Remember the Alumni-Varsity Game. Bushman Bushman is a player brave and boldg In scrimmage he does what he is told. In the game he takes the ball, Making sure he doesn't fall, Then scores for the purple and gold. -LUKE BELOT, '24, Read what the local papers say about the Alumni Game. -u , ECHO Our Coach ' All the honors that have come to us have been made possible by the earnest and fruitful efforts of our coach, Frank Dofiot. 'Rather than see his Alma Mater, where he was a star during his high school days, sink beneath the waves of football oblivion due' to the need of a coach, Frank, as he is known to his boys, took over the job and together with his natural ability and spirit to succeed, turned out the most successful team that Central Catholic has ever had. To him we extend our sincerest thanks. The fighting spirit and bulldog tenacity displayed by the team was the wonder and delight of all who saw them play. Every man ,gave his best while he was in. It was this fighting spirit, the embodiment of Doriot's personality, that brought suc- cess and glory to Central Catholic in a greater measure than did C. C.'s superb team of 1922. JAMES KELKER, '24.
